Quite a program today. We started with, well, we started with a little Requiem Mass for a friend who we finally lost. And it's time to put Fox News down. I mean, maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow we'll name Fox News Corporation Yeller. And please, please, old Yeller. I don't know. But anyway, we are, we're starting. a campaign, and that is

Tucker to Blaze TV, that's hashtag Tucker to Blaze TV. We would like to send out the message now to Tucker Carlson and anyone who is really making an impact who might come under the thumb of the left to come join us at Blaze TV. We urge you to do the same. There is strength in numbers and strength in the truth.

We need to stick together. As Franklin said, we all have to hang together. or we're certainly going to hang separately. And that's becoming more and more true. We go into the Truth and Reconciliation Project. The website is up. They've altered it in the last couple of days. They've taken out some of the names of the judges, et cetera, et cetera.

But the left is actually making a list and checking it twice. We also have the Attorney General from, where is it, Louisiana. He's on to talk about the amicus brief that they fight. yesterday in the Supreme Court, the Attorney Generals for the Republicans across the country. We also have the greatest governor on the face of the earth. At least I can say that now might change. No, not from Texas, but Governor Nome from South Dakota. She's on with us.

And we also talk a little bit about the election fraud and what's really happening all on today's podcast. You're listening to The Best of the Glenback Provin. cannot get over the cowardice, the cowardice of some of these companies. I think that's what Fox News is doing. They just want to make sure that they're not on a list that they don't, they don't, no, no, no, you guys aren't going to attack us. No, no, no. I mean, like, you suck, Fox. But we have Pfizer yesterday.

Yesterday, we found out that Pfizer said, you know, hey, look, we've got a, we've got a vaccine that seems 90% effective. That's great. But we weren't part of that warp speed thing. We had nothing to do with Donald Trump. That did nothing to do with that. It's not true. I mean, they, what? No, there is a story here of the private

sector, right? Like, that's not the way it's being presented shockingly in the media that this one company decided to not take initial funds and decided to develop it on their own by their own telling because they wanted to avoid bureaucracy. That's not going to be the story here. But they are taking money

they've been working with warp speed the entire time. May I say Trump mentioned many times. They announced it on their own press releases. Our producers reached out to HHS and the White House for a statement. Here are the official statements given to us. In July, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

This is from Michael Pratt, HHS spokesperson. And the Department of Defense entered into an agreement with U.S.-based Pfizer Inc. for a large-scale production and nationwide delivery of 100 million doses of their COVID-19 vaccine in the United States following a vaccine successful manufacturer and approval. The agreement also allows the U.S. government to acquire an additional 500 million doses at a pre-fixed, pre-established price. Operation Warp Speed continues to work very closely with the company through constant communications at all levels to ensure on-time delivery of the vaccine and other materials required for.

distribution and administration once the vaccine is approved. We also reached out to the White House. Here's Michael Barr's White House spokesperson. President Trump's operation work speed expedited the regulatory process and provided billions of dollars to a portfolio of companies to deliver a safe and effective vaccine five times other, faster than any other in history. Pfizer was among the companies that began working with the administration beginning in March, followed by an investment of $1.95 billion announced in July

to support large-scale manufacturing and distribution of 100 million doses of Pfizer's vaccine candidate to the American people free of charge. Today's announcement demonstrates the historic success of President Trump's unprecedented public-private partnership, harnessing the full power of the federal government, the private sector, military, and scientific community to save millions of lives. Pfizer came out and said, no, no, no. No, that evil Donald Trump, we had nothing to do with him. Wow. And the timing of their announcement, you know, it's not been approved. That couldn't have happened.

I don't know, six days before. No, they woke up Sunday and said Monday we have to announce it. Oh, you know what? It's 90% effective just now. We just now found out. Now, I wanted to give Stu an opportunity to comment on this because I don't understand. understand this story. Vaccines timing is bad news

suggest undermining Trump's COVID vaccination plan. This is Cuomo coming out and saying the bad news is is that Joe Biden won't be in for a couple of months. Here's his quote. Listen. It's good news, bad news,

George. The good news is the Pfizer tests look good and we'll have a vaccine shortly. The bad news is that it's about two months before Joe Biden takes over. And that means this administration is going to be implementing a vaccine plan. The vaccine plan is very important. And it's probably the most ambitious undertaking since COVID began. You have two months and we can't let this vaccination plan go forward

the way the Trump administration is designing it. Because Biden can't undo it two months later. We'll be in the midst of it. So his basic argument here is that Trump, is trying to poorly. Yeah, they're going to do it poorly. And Trump is going to use the private sector, which is the big problem. Apparently the big problem with the entire virus was that we use the private sector too much, which is actually the reverse. So the entire actual story of the pandemic.

But that's a totally different issue. Everyone would expect Andrew Cuomo to be completely incorrect on all of his arguments. But the idea that the, the, and Cuomo is not alone on this. He's just, as usual, the worst offender. But the fact that they're out there is trying to scare. people away from taking a vaccine or a treatment that could help this go away shows how little they care about not only the lives of human beings in general, but the lives of the people in their own party, the people who actually are dumb enough to vote for them.

They don't care if they gather in parties of thousands screaming at each other from four inches away. They don't care because they don't care about their lives. They just care. I won't hear of it. I won't hear of it. Did you hear, Pat, who has now become a leading member of Joe Biden's COVID-19 advisory board? I don't know. I don't think so. Zeke Emanuel.

Oh, well, the complete life? Yes. Doctor, that's wonderful. Isn't that great? Yes, the complete lives guy. He was a key, key architect in Barack Obama's health care program. He's the guy who, you know, came up with. complete lives system, which means if you're zero to, and I'm just trying to guess at these

ages, I used to know this by heart, but I think it's from zero to nine, you get very little health care. So like at birth, you get none. You get no extra help to live. Well, you haven't made any potatoes yet. Exactly. And you're a long way away from making it. Yeah. Then when you hit your teenage years, you get a little bit more. When you're 20 to 40, you get a lot of health care. That's the zenith. Your productive years. Your productive years. So we got to heal you. Then after 40 it starts to go down. After I think 65, it's like nothing.

You're back to an infant. You can die. Well, and this is the reason, of course, why Zekeel Emanuel wrote an essay for the Atlantic discussing why he doesn't want to live past the age of 75. Well, he said, and if I may quote, here's a simple truth that many of us seem to resist. Living too long is really a loss. No kidding. Life sucks.

It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining. A state that may not be worse than death, but is nonetheless deprived. It robs us of our creativity and ability to contribute to work, society, and the world. It transforms how people experience us, relate to us, and most importantly, remember us. We're no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged, but is feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic. I can see why he voted for. Joe Biden. Yeah.

Right. 78 years old. Before he was at the top of his game, clearly. Yeah. Remember, complete live system. He called this theory he said that he will, by the age of 75, he and others will have lived

a complete life. Yeah. Okay. So I can't wait to get some of the, I can't wait to get some of the treatments from him. You know what I mean? Sure. This COVID thing.

Everybody. in the nursing homes, relax. Relax. Nothing going on there. Wouldn't it be great too if the government decided when you're no longer useful to society? And then they just send YouTube, I don't know, some warehouse somewhere. No, no, no, no, no. And put you.

No, some happy place. Some happy. Some really, it's a really happy warehouse. I mean, special place. Yeah. Special place. Uh, a city just for. Jews, conservatives, and old people.

We can wall it off. They can have it. They can have it. You know what? Amen. Let's protect them by walling them off. Yes. It's for their own protection. It's for their own good. Because then they won't wander off and get lost. We won't have to have any more silver alerts. Right. And maybe we could do something useful like, I don't know, have them go to CPC forever. Watch a nice video, though, as they drift off to death. You know. And then, we just turn them into Soyling Green. What about that? What's Soil of Green made out of?

People. People. Yeah, people. Soilin green is made of people. I never watched that movie. And Pat kept saying that as made of people. And I'm like, Soilent Green. That's that Charlton, Hessie.

You never seen it? No. Oh, you've got to watch it. Soilic Green is made of people. And I watched it. And if you know that Soilent Green is made of people. made of people, there's no use watching the movie. It's like

knowing the end of Bruce Willis is actually a lot. No, that was good. That was a good movie all the way through. It's not great when you know he's dead. But it's okay. It's still good. Still good. Still good. So let me green, not good. No. Not good. Another idea here for you.

What if? Because we're talking about Andrew Cuomo and the guy is pretty innovative. Yes. We have old people. We want to protect them. Another group of people that needs to be protected are COVID positive patients. So what if we were to take the COVID positive patients and import them inside the walled area with the old people? What a great idea.

That will be great because then both of them will be protected behind that wall. And he's already done the experience in the experiment once. And look how well it worked. He's killed thousands. It worked really well. I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited. I'm excited for the time when they say, oh, you have to have it. Because I'm going to be first in line.

Are you going to be first in line? For the mandated vaccines? I love government mandates, Glenn. Huge fan of them. Any doubt in your mind that that will be the case. Oh, no. There's no doubt in my mind. I really believe they're going to do that.

You think they're going to mandate the vaccine? Absolutely. I doubt. I don't know for certain things. Like, I don't know. Work. If you want to go to work, if you want to go to school, if you want to go to a grocery store.

If you want to do anything that involves. Papers, please. I will say. I'll say too, the one thing, if now look, we're reading off of a press release from Pfizer with the 90% number. It's be clear, there's no reason to know that that's accurate yet. The good thing about it, if it is 90% effective, that effectively eradicates the disease. And a lot less people are going to have to take it. You're not going to need to.

No, no, no. We will all need to take it. We will all need to take it. Don't fight against that. Now, I would like to point out. that it was developed under the Trump administration. And so Kamala and Joe Biden were both saying that they would never trust a vaccine. So it's interesting that the good news today is that Pfizer has one.

The bad news is in just the distribution. Right. Yeah. Right. They'll all take it. Now they're all for it. Before the election, they were like, we can't trust any vaccine. No.

I can't do it. They want to poison all of us. They always did this line where they're like, look, I'm the, I'll trust public health officials, but I'm not going to trust Donald Trump. Donald Trump isn't mixing the vaccine for you. He, like, who do you think is doing this? They are public health officials. The guy who's running the vaccine program is not Donald Trump. He's not in there mixing toothpaste with Diet Coke and trying to come up with vaccines.

The guy who did it a doctor who has said outwardly multiple times, there has been absolutely no political. interference in this process. Trump was mixing, he was mixing toothpaste with detergent. Oh, okay. That was his form. Can I ask a question? You're going to trust public health officials.

Okay. Not when it's Adolf Eichmann. No, no. But it's like I've got the final solution for everyone who is over 75. I don't think we trust that guy. Yeah, no, that's definitely not a good, good, that's not a good idea.

Right. To trust that guy. But I, definitely not. But I'm glad he was the first one that Joe Biden ran to. The guy who's like, look at this old man. He's incompetent. He's senile. He's going to be remembered as a joke.

Oh, I can't wait to get onto his cabinet. It is weird. Like at some point you have an awkward conversation where you're like, yeah, I wish you were dead, Joe. That's basically his policy. I think that would have been. If Joe was mentally stable, that would have been the first question. So do you want to kill me or? You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Stu and I were just talking off air about Joe Manchin and how he has said that he won't vote for any crazy stuff. But don't let that penetrate. I don't like to count on some people on the other side. We have very important elections happening in Georgia in January. And that will decide whether or not they can get away with all of these things. And it is going to be hard fought. And if they do, I don't know. I don't know what the world looks like.

I will tell you that, you know, I did tell you a year ago what the world would look like today. And, you know, people in the streets and we have our own staff wearing body armor and everything else. It's crazy. It is crazy. I want to take a minute to introduce you to somebody. That's the guy who helped us with our body armor at Blaze TV. He is actually the guy who is also, and I don't even know if he knows. this, but I bought something.

I did something I never thought I would do. When my kids were small and we were at Fox, I had to buy a Kevlar blanket that I could throw my little kids under if, you know, the house came under attack or anything like that. It was crazy, crazy. And I just purchased Kevlar jackets for my grandchildren. And they don't know it. But it's, it's, this is really crazy. It's nuts.

And I think this is the kind of stuff that is not going to be, you know, they're going to, if there's a crackdown, they want to make sure that you crack down on, you know, only the criminals will have Kevlar vests. No, no, nope. Nope. I happen to know four children that have Kevlar vests. And for good reason. Anyway, David Reese is with us. He's the CEO of AR 500 Armor. Hi, David. How are you? Well, Glenn, thanks for having me on your show. It's an honor to be here. I wanted to say something real quickly, and that's, I remember back about a decade ago, getting to watch you on television and hearing you say things in support of the cause of liberty that I was surprised you could get away with. And I appreciate the fact that you have been a force for the cause of liberty and the Constitution. for a long time now. So thank you for that.

Thank you. Full disclosure, AR500 is a sponsor of Blaze TV, but that's not why I'm having them on. David, when you were watching a decade ago, did you think that we could get here? You know, sadly, yes, I think that one of the problems is that there's a long march through the institutions where people are trying to spread division and to undermine liberty. And so my concern is, you know, our company is about liberty. You know, we believe that body armor is a tool of liberty, and we want to help people to get tools of liberty so that they can defend their God-given rights against criminals, tyrants, you know, any of the threats to personal liberty. And the problem is that ideas also are a cause of the undermine of liberty. And so it's important that people have good character and be ready to resist with ideas and to argue for liberty.

right? Liberty isn't just something that exists in a vacuum. It depends upon people advocating for the preservation of our rights. And so sadly, you see people undermining our rights, and they argue for things that are about the redistribution of property and about, you know, not having people be allowed to say what they believe in the public sphere. And so this is the inevitable result of ideas not being properly argued with and challenged with truth. I will tell you I think everybody needs to go to what is it

Trump accountability I think it's dot net Can you check on that, Stu? I think it's Trumpaccountability.net. This is a new website that has just been put out by the leftist elites where they are tracking people and making lists

of everyone that needs to be shunned from society and don't worry, their list only includes people who worked for Trump supported Trump, donated to Trump, or voted for Trump, and you have no place in the public square. I guess this is what you mean by body armor being a tool of liberty, because I have a, it's not an easy one to wrap your arms around that that is a tool of liberty. Yeah, that's a good point, Glenn. I think, you know, we think about the Second Amendment, right?

The Second Amendment is about tools to preserve your liberty. And so firearms are the primary tool of liberty to be able to have victory when you are in a situation where you need to defend yourself. And body armor is a tool that allows you to survive. So the goal is to protect yourself, to protect your family, and then to be able to get through that process of self-defense. And so body armor allows you to get through that. Or if you're in a situation where there's simply a risk, you know, we have backpacks that have armor in them. And that's just, you might be in a situation where you're simply trying to flee and be. being able to flee successfully so that you can get out of a dangerous situation and have your back protected when you are just in a place where you don't even know what's happening.

Schools. You have to, yeah, right. I mean, there are situations where people are not ready or able to defend themselves effectively, but they know there's danger and they need to get out of there. And so, your body armor is a tool of liberty because it's about protecting your own individual liberty against potential threats. You know, when we, Glenn, I also... Go ahead. No, go ahead. Glenn, I think that one of the other tools of liberty is media, and you know, you have a lot of insight about media. And I'm curious, you're looking at the media landscape. Do you see anything that looks like in the next four years is going to be changing in terms of that landscape and how we can fight for our liberties using that platform?

Yeah, I think the media is the cable news networks are going to burn themselves to the ground soon. but, you know, once they have control of the FCC, watch the commissioners, because they'll go after talk radio. They'll go after us on the internet, as they already are. You're going to see an increased level of people saying that we are dangerous, our points of view are dangerous, anti-government, etc., etc., none of which is true. But I think in the next four years, I honestly think in the next year, many of us will be lucky. to have jobs. Go ahead. Yeah, the way things are going, I mean, as taxes look likely to be increased as there's continued

regulation that gets poured on, I think that, you know, the recipe for destroying the economy is taking away people's rights to be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, right? The fruits of labor is what motivates people to work. And the regulations that undermine people's ability to freely do what they want with their own property and to do what they think is honorable in the sight of God. You know, when you undermine that, you destroy people's motivation for working. And that's where jobs come from is people's desire to create, to exercise dominion, to build things, to pass it on to the next generation. And so I think you're right.

There's a real risk there. The destruction of a lot of the economy. Do people have a hard time seeing the guy who's the CEO of AR 500 body armor as a pastor of a church full-time in Phoenix? Well, I am honored to be a minister of the word, and I think that sometimes people might think they're incongruous. You know, I'm a Puritan, which means that I believe that the Bible is the Word of God, and that basically the law of God is king, right? So I think that there's nothing incongruous there. I think that the realization that body armor is a tool of liberty and that all liberty comes from the Bible, and the recognition of the fact that there is no incongruity with self-defense and the law of God.

It is a holy thing. It's a good thing. It's a righteous thing to protect yourself and to protect other people's rights. And so I try to tell that to my congregation as a part of what the scriptures clearly teach. And a lot of people don't think that that's the case. But I'll tell you what, a lot of people try to point to the Bible to advocate for some sort of gun control or something like that. The only place in the Bible that deals with weapons control is in First Samuel. What you have is the Philistines took away the swords of the Israelites.

And so the only arms control example in the Bible is one that's condemned where the Israelites are disarmed by people that are oppressing them. And so, you know, the scriptures are very clear that self-defense is the right. Exodus teaches that if a person breaks into your house, you have a right to defend yourself. There's an example that if a woman is being assaulted, it's the duty of men to come to her aid. if they hear her being assaulted. This idea is taught clearly. There is no incongruity, but some people do have a problem, seeing how they can be consistent. And I think that's because they don't know the Bible.

So AR500 body armor is perfectly in alignment with the teachings of liberty that are in the scripture and the ability of a free man to defend himself and to preserve the rights that God has given to him. It's kind of a different way of looking at the full arm, put on the full armor of Christ. David, thank you so much. Thank you for your help with our staff. I never thought we would have to have our staff in body armor. For anybody who is listening, body armor is protective. It's not necessarily, you know, in military, it's used to go in.

In protective armor, it is honestly going to become more and more apparent that you may have to go to work in an inner city. you may be traveling across the country and something is happening, you just want to be able to get through a city, get into a city. You're not trying to do anything. You're not a part of a military or anything. You're just protecting yourself and your family. I highly recommend it for those who live around the cities or travel an awful lot. It's always in the trunk of my car.

David, thank you very much. I appreciate it. God bless. Thank you, Glenn. You bet. That's AR500 armor.com. AR500 armor.com. This is the best of the Glennbeck program. Just cannot take the lectures from the left on, you know, not counting every ballot.

I can't take it about how Donald Trump should acquiesce right now and he should surrender right now. This from the party who told us two weeks ago. they would never, never accept the verdict if Joe Biden won or didn't win, and that they would fight in the courts and they would never concede. This goes back to at least the year 2000 every single time they have an election and they lose. Yes. I mean, it's amazing to watch as they are fighting a battle for, for example, the state of Georgia, where they are trying to get Trump to win this and they're filing lawsuits and they're doing all

these things, whether you think they're going to work or not. It is utterly amazing to bring on as an expert on this process, Stacey Abrams, a person who has still, to this day, not conceded the 2018 gubernatorial race in Georgia. And she lost by a lot. Yeah, what was the? I think it was 50,000. She lost by about 50,000. And in a state race only, that's a huge number.

Yeah. And it's much bigger than the margin is right now between Trump and Biden. Right. Yeah, about 55,000 votes. And she still has not conceded. She's still on TV saying, I'm the rightful governor. Yeah. Of Georgia. She said, she said, I acknowledge that I have no more legal recourse, but this is not a concession because basically it was stolen from her. Yeah. You know, they were trying to take the votes that they were getting rid of votes that should have counted and all the things that they are complaining about Donald Trump today. And then they will bring her on as an expert to talk about it. She's still saying she's the governor. It's insane. It is insane. And then Hillary Clinton. I can't take Hillary Clinton.

You know, he's trying to delegitimize this. He's trying to delegitimize Biden as president. He's, he is trying to do that? Yeah. Do you remember what you guys did? Incredible. Or another one.

They, uh, one of the big arguments against Trump is, look, he's trying to, he, you know, stop the count in a state like Pennsylvania. when he was ahead, and he wants the count to go on in a state like Arizona where he's behind but catching up, right? That was the big criticism of Trump. Do you remember Al Gore specifically selecting the counties, which they would recount, rather than having the whole state do it, he filed a suit only in counties that were positive to him so he could get as many, many votes as he wanted. And they fought against a statewide recount. They fought against it because, of course, they would have lost the state right recount.

Exactly right. And to this day, Al Gore says he went all the way to the end and used every single piece of legal recourse possible to win that election. And it should be done. If legally, legally, uh, votes have not been counted or votes that were illegal were counted. They should correct that. I don't know why that's so darn controversial. Wow. Uh, facts when they get into the way. Na-na-na-na-na-na-a-na-
