How Do You Say Dude in Russian? And Other Musings on Running a Country

Does Bill O'Reilly think there should be an independent investigation into the president's dealings with Russia and James Comey?

"Absolutely," O'Reilly said Friday on The Glenn Beck Program.

But only to clear him of any impeachable wrongdoing. While both Glenn and Bill agree Trump didn't break any laws, he did act in very imprudent ways.

"I don't believe that Donald Trump is involved in some scheme with Vladimir Putin. I don't believe that he was trying to, in nefarious ways, get Comey to drop it. I think what he was looking for was, 'Look, dude, I want you to be my friend,'" Glenn theorized.

The biggest problem facing President Trump? Himself.

"The president has got to learn that this is not a business deal. You're the president of the United States," Glenn said.

But is it possible for Trump to learn lessons from his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week?

"That is the most astute question that you've asked in this hour," O'Reilly jabbed, jokingly. "The big mistake that Trump made --- and he can't make it again --- was having a private meeting with James Comey. If you're president of the United States, you don't have a private meeting with anybody. Didn't the Lewinksy thing, you know, [teach you anything]?"

Enjoy the complimentary clip or listen to the entire segment for details.

GLENN: Bill O'Reilly joins us now for a look at the week in review. Bill, Donald Trump had a pretty hair-raising week.

BILL: I think that's true. And if you want to break it down, we can do that in about a minute.

The first thing that put him back was a allegation that he gave classified information to Russians when he met with them. The Russian ambassador and the foreign minister. That story's bogus, and it has gone away pretty much now. But the antiTrump media ran with it heavily. Okay? But, look, Trump was trying to convince the Russians to help him with ISIS more. So he said, look, they want to bomb everybody's airlines. You already lost one airline over the Sinai. Here's what they're doing. Our intel says they're close to doing it. That's not giving away national security, and he has a perfect right to try to convince the Russian -- these are the two top guys, so it's like talking to Putin. That was a bogus story.

GLENN: I will tell you that, you know, Israel couldn't be more happy that Trump is in office, and they said it was us and the official word is we're good, et cetera, et cetera. But some of their generals did come out, and they were pushing for we can't trust America with anything.

BILL: Yeah, all right.

GLENN: So it was a big deal, but it wasn't an impeachable offense, which the media was trying to make it into.

BILL: I'm looking at it from a does it hurt the American people? And it does not. Okay.

The second one, much more serious. So he fires Comey. I don't think Trump, by the way, because he's such a wealthy man in his life never really had to deal with blow back understands that when you take a controversial action, people are going to come after you. So what happened was he fires Comey, Comey's friends in the FBI said. Okay. Now it's our turn. So they leak out notes that the former FBI director took on on a one-on-one meeting with the president. And the notes say that Trump wanted Comey to lighten up on the national security adviser Flynn who was fired as well. Okay. Big story. Got to get to the bottom of that story. But here's the deal. As soon as I heard that, I went "Didn't Comey testify under oath that there was no interference in the Russian investigation with congress?" Yes, he did.

GLENN: Hang on. Wait, wait.

BILL: That there was no -- McCabe that there was no Russian interference? Yes, he did. Okay. So now you have Comey and McCabe both saying under oath, hey, you know, there's no interference. All right. So then . . .

GLENN: What did she wait, wait. Can I just point out something? I want to point something out here. He answered a very specific question about was there interference from the justice department. He did not talk about White House interference. He was -- he answered a very specific question. Was there interference from this person, this person, or this person? And that's the answer. No, there was no interference there.

BILL: Okay. But on McCabe, it was much broader. And all I'm saying to you is this: If President Trump did put the arm on James Comey in a private meeting to somehow go easy on the Russia investigation in total, in total, that should have been reported, and it was not.

GLENN: Right.

BILL: Okay?

GLENN: Yes.

BILL: That's all. So then you basically say all right. We have a mess. It's a mess. And of course, the anti-Trump media is impeach him. Hang him. Set him on fire, you know? All of that. So I'm sitting here going. Okay. Why don't we have level-headed -- now, I did call for BillOreilly.com on the podcast, which was nice of you to mention, I did call for a special investigator to be appointed. Because then Trump could say I'm going to concede my mistake. And it's a good choice. With one exception. Muller is a friend of Comey's. So there's no doubt that the leak came from the FBI, and that's why Comey got fired in the first place because Trump felt that the FBI was leaking all kinds of stuff out.

Now, I think that's going to be blown out to be true, in my opinion.

GLENN: So you're one of the only people -- by the way, talking to Bill O'Reilly from BillOreilly.com. Who knew he had a podcast or a book? But he had just written a book called old school.

BILL: Two books.

GLENN: What's the other book?

BILL: "Killing the Rising Sun" and "Old School." Get them for dad.

GLENN: Yeah, they have to sell. They're backing up in Bill's garage. They have to get them moved out. He has to pull his family van in there. Anyway. BillOreilly.com.

This is interesting because a lot of people's knee-jerk reaction is special prosecutor, we don't need a special prosecutor. I think this is actually good because I really don't believe -- I don't believe that Donald Trump is involved in some scheme with Vladimir Putin. I don't believe that he was trying to in nefarious ways get Comey to drop it. I think what he was looking for was, look, dude, I want you to be my friend. There's nothing here he's leaving anyway, let's just move on. And I think he doesn't think of things the way he needs to because he's president. He's thinking of things like a businessman.

BILL: I agree. But here's the question for you. How do you say dude in Russian?

GLENN: I don't.

BILL: Look, the key part of your question was the word jerk. So on the left, whatever Trump does is impeachable, and we have to murder him. On the right, we don't want to know because we like him. So the special counsel, whatever you want to call Muller is necessary to stop the madness, which it has. Which it has. Stop the madness. We have a country to run here. If we need a fourth investigator, FBI one, senate two, house three. If we need a fourth, fine. Now, it isn't Trump's style, and I can tell you this because I know him very well, to make back room deals that don't benefit Trump to the tune of billions of dollars. He doesn't do that. He did want to have a good relationship with Putin. Yes. Did he sell out? Did he do anything untoward? We'll find out. We'll find out. But right now on the record, there isn't anything.

GLENN: So but you do believe that these investigations are important and can clear this up?

BILL: Yes. Absolutely. You've got to have that.

GLENN: So there's a lot of people, Bill, though, who are on the right who just don't want to hear it, and they think that this is --

BILL: So what. That was Nixon too when. Nixon left office, 33 percent of Americans didn't want him to, according to the exit poll when he got on the helicopter and waved goodbye. You're always going to have that.

GLENN: So let me ask you this: The other part of this, one, we have to have an independent investigation. Let's just get it done. The second part of this -- leave out the press because I don't think the press is curable at all. But the president has got to learn that this is not a business deal. You're the President of the United States.

BILL: Absolutely.

GLENN: Will he learn that?

BILL: That is the most astute question that you've asked in this hour. The big mistake that Trump made, and he can't make it again, was having a private meeting with James Comey. If you're President of the United States, you don't have a private meeting with anybody. Didn't Lewinksy thing, you know -- you don't meet privately with anybody ever. You always have somebody there. Andy Card was velcroed to Bush the youngers side--

GLENN: Bill, you were there with the height of my controversy with me where I was white hot, you know hatred or love, and even I at that point would never have meetings with people by myself. Ever. And that's me. I just knew I was a target.

BILL: Absolutely.

GLENN: The president has got to learn this.

BILL: I always left my door open when anybody would come into my office. You can't. And the fact that Comey -- and Trump doesn't even trust him, and you meet with him alone? You can't do that.

GLENN: So if you're an adviser, and you're talking to Donald Trump, what is the advice you give to him to make this stop?

BILL: Well, he's already done it. The justice department appointed Muller, but you know Trump had to okay that. Sessions doesn't do anything on his own. So he's already done it, and it's already succeeded to some extent. Now he goes abroad. It's a big dog and pony show over there. And the anti-Trump press is going to come out with something every day. Every day there's going to be something else. Somebody will leak something, and they'll do this and that. But it doesn't reach critical mass; right? Unless there is a very specific allegation. And now Trump has just got to say hold it. You got four investigations. Let him do it. Let him do it. And then he doesn't have to be involved with it anymore, so I think he avoided the bullet but, boy, you can't make too many more mistakes. He just cannot do it.

GLENN: Going over to Israel, he won't say -- or he said that they're going to move the embassy. If I said there was anybody that would move it, it would be him.

BILL: Yeah, but that's a Netanyahu call, though. He's not making that call. He's going to do what Netanyahu wants. We don't know. We're not privy to what Netanyahu wants. But if Netanyahu wants the American embassy in Jerusalem, it will be there. If he doesn't, it won't. That's what's going on there.

GLENN: You're saying Netanyahu tells our president what to do on that?

BILL: On a case like this? Yes.

GLENN: Wow. Bill O'Reilly from BillOreilly.com. I pay him in sandwiches, so I promise him that he could say something nice about something --

BILL: Yes, we need to get everybody mobilized. Go to BillOreilly.com. Signed books. I'll give you yours for free.

GLENN: I don't believe I have any of your books signed. I don't think you signed a single book for me. Not one.

BILL: Now I will. And -- but who are you going to give it to? This is what I want you to know. I'm going to send you two signed books. Now you can put them right up on eBay and make some money. But if you're going to give them to somebody, who are you going to give them to?

GLENN: I'm going to give one of them to my dad.

BILL: Good. Old school. I'm sure he's an old school guy; right?

GLENN: I'm going to take a shovel and bury your book right next to him, and he's going to love it.

[Laughter]

BILL: Oh, I see.

GLENN: BillOreilly.com. Grab his books. The killing the rising sun is fascinating. You'll learn more than you ever knew about World War II and Japan and old school.

BILL: Can I say one more thing?

GLENN: Oh, jeez. What?

BILL: If people came in on this interview late, Beck post it on The Blaze, and I post it on BillOreilly.com. The whole interview from top to bottom. So I think people want to listen to it again if they came in the middle.

GLENN: And I especially want you to go back and listen to the warm, friendly greeting that Bill did.

PAT: It meant so much to you, right?

GLENN: It meant so much.

BILL: I'll work harder on it.

PAT: No, you couldn't do it any better.

GLENN: People say that you're a cold bastard, and I don't see it.

PAT: No. Oh, my goodness. No.

BILL: Would it help, Beck, if I called you dude? Would that help?

[Laughter]

STU: I think so.

GLENN: No. No, it really wouldn't. No, it really wouldn't.

STU: I think you should go back too and listen to the incredible compliment that Mr. O'Reilly paid to you, Glenn, when he said this is the most amazing question you asked in this hour. Which was huge. What a hurdle to clear.

GLENN: The most astute.

STU: You have the most beautiful girl in the room.

GLENN: We're alone. Bill, thanks a lot, man. Appreciate it.

BILL: All right. Guys, we'll see you next week.

GLENN: See you next week. Bill O'Reilly every Friday and every day at BillOreilly.com.

STU: One thing I like Bill O'Reilly is he never makes me feel panicked. Whenever there's a really stressful situation, he just kind of says stuff, and I'm, like, okay. I guess we're all right. Who cares. We'll make it through this.

PAT: Very calming.

STU: There's something calming about the way he talks about issues that I really enjoy.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: You freak me out. He --

GLENN: No, and you know what? I want to -- but he -- his deal is he never reads beyond the day. He has told me over and over again. Off the air. I'll say come on, Bill. George Soros. Come on. And he's, like, you can live ahead of the news cycle. I live today. This I know to be true today.

STU: You need both. Both.

GLENN: But that's where the tension between us comes, which I really enjoy. That and the fact that he is just --

PAT: Oh.

GLENN: He smells like a funeral home. When you talk to him, don't you just.

JEFFY: Feel that funeral home --

GLENN: Yeah. Okay. I'm only saying that because I know he's listening.

EXCLUSIVE: Chip Roy Explains His FIERY Rejection of Spending Bill

According to the media, there’s a big fight going on between Republicans over the House’s new slimmed-down continuing resolution spending bill. Some, including President-elect Donald Trump, wanted the bill to pass. But others, like Texas Representative Chip Roy, argued that it still wasn’t ready. However, is the Republican “unity coalition” really crumbling, like the media claims? Rep. Chip Roy joins Glenn to explain what’s really going on. He argues that he IS trying to give Trump and DOGE a 100-day “runway” to fix the country. But he makes the case that, by increasing the debt ceiling by $5 trillion without agreeing on other cuts, this bill gives bad actors the ability to be an “obstacle” to Trump’s agenda further down the line. Plus, he reveals to Glenn that he believes some of these bad actors LEAKED false information about his stance to Mar-a-Lago.

GLENN:

I think we have a great opportunity today. To show you how to have a -- tough conversation, with friends, friends. Where you deeply disagree on something.

But you know that their intent is good. They know my intent is good. Or our intent is good.

And we actually have the same end goal, but we disagree on the path. And we're going to walk away friends.

Chip Roy is joining us today. And, Chip, I love you. And I always will. And I agree with your, we've got to cut spending. We have to. But Liz Wheeler is with me. And we've been talking about it all morning. It's the -- the -- the -- the system of DOGE and Trump, the call-out to the world, in saying, you've got to surrender the Capitol. You know, the bad guys are in and about to take all the money.

Surround, and tell them, come out with your hands up. And that happened. And we scored a massive win, in an entirely new way.

Ask then you stood on principle, one we both agree with.

And it failed!

And so here's -- here's what Liz and I were talking about. Here's what we want to say to you.

And then get your response.

LIZ: Hi, Congressman Roy, this is the way I see it. I want your take on it. I love you. I think you're one of the best members of Congress. I disagree with you on the process that's happening. And I think that is the difference. The process. We elected Donald Trump to be a disruptor. Because Republican members of Congress for decades have been telling they're fiscal conservatives. They want to decrease the debt SEAL. It hasn't happened.

It hasn't -- it hasn't been done. And so Donald Trump comes in with Elon Musk, and uses this DOGE process to first identify these pieces of garbage in the first 1500-page bill. And take those things to the people. We took them to members of Congress. Congress said, okay. We'll listen to you.

So that new process was very effective.

And my question to you is: Once that process was proved to be effective. Which I think is exciting and wonderful.

How do we bridge this divide, with you, to say, okay.

Let's put some faith in this new process. And trust Elon Musk and Donald Trump and the Dow Jones process, to eventually address the debt ceiling, but get this done right now?

GLENN: And not blind trust. Chip.

CHIP: So appreciate you guys. Appreciate being on the show. Particular order. I have to go through a couple of things.

GLENN: Yep.

CHIP: Number one, it's important to remember that my job and my duty is to the Constitution, to God, and the people I represent. I told them, when I came to Washington, I would not -- I would not let the credit card and the debt ceiling and the borrowing of the United States without the spending restraints necessary to offset it.

GLENN: Okay.

CHIP: Right now, all we have are promises and ideas and notions. What I know, that neither of you respectfully no, and that none of your listeners respectfully no are the people that are in the room, that I was in with yesterday. And the day before, who are recalcitrant.

And do not want to do the spending cuts that we need to do.

That I believe the president and the DOGE guys. And everybody want to do.

My job, is to force that through the meat grinder. To demand that we do our damn job. Okay?

GLENN: Okay. So hang on. Okay. So wait. Wait. You're right. You're right. You're right. Go ahead.

CHIP: Number thee, when we were going through the bill, I'm glad the bill dropped from 1,550 pages to 116 pages. Three-quarters of Twitter or X or whatever you want to call it, have been out there spreading false facts that we supported a bad bill and didn't like the better bill.

That's not true. But let's be Lear. The 1400 pages that were cut out. It's a panacea.

There were some good stuff in there. There were some bad stuff in there. There was a lot of disinformation.

There wasn't a $70,000 pay raise. There was a 3,000-dollar pay raise.

I didn't support any pay raise. I didn't support a lot of the stuff in there.

But there's a lot of misinformation. And here's the thing: The 116 pages that were left, and I opposed violently the first bill. I was leading the charge on fighting and killing the first bill.

GLENN: And I love you.

LIZ: The second bill for 116 pages. Turned off -- turned off the pay go requirement. That we slash 1.7 trillion automatically.

And added a 5 trillion that are increase.

My view was, I could not support that, without a clear understanding of what cuts we would get, in mandatory spending next year. And undo any of the Inflation Reduction Act.

The undoing of the student loans. The undoing of the crap with the food stamps.

And everything else. I yield back.

GLENN: Okay. I yield back.

Chip, you're not in a hostile room. We love you. And we agree with your end goals. It's our end goal too. We didn't make that promise that you made to the people that voted for you. So we have more wiggle room here.

But you say -- I think our big difference is, you say, I know the guys in the room.

You're right. You do. And we -- we ceded that earlier today on the show.

You are -- one of us is wrong on trust.

I don't trust any of the weasels in Washington.

But I think Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have earned enough trust, to get a grace period, here for the first -- maybe the first year.

Or at least six months.

To turn the economy around, and also reduce the size of the government.

And totally flip this thing.

And I know, as somebody who is -- you know, run a company, mainly into a ground. But run a company, and have to switch it, in the middle, and totally reshuffle. That -- that actually costs money, while you're doing it, to bridge the gap.

Because you have to fill up holes while you're filling in the gap.

You don't trust the people in the room. Neither do we.

But we do trust the system that worked on Wednesday with DOGE and Donald Trump.

Where do we disagree?

Can you give them --

CHIP: We don't disagree. And yesterday morning, I was making that precise argument in a room full of conservatives and then a follow-up room with people who will call it, less conservatives.

GLENN: Republican. Yes.

CHIP: And so we were making this argument. And then someone infamously. Something leaked out of the room, somehow out to Mar-a-Lago. That I was being resistant. Because I was negotiating trying to get the agreement to achieve the objective that you just said. I was trying to get, okay. In fact, yesterday morning, I made the argument to a group of conservatives. We need to give the president runway. We need to give him his first 100 days. We need to appreciate JD, and Vivek, and all the people -- and everybody involved. For the president to achieve the objective.

But to get there. We have to make sure that the guys in the room, that are an obstacle to that, don't have the ability to block it.

Because information flow matters. And when those guys tell the president, they can't achieve X.

Then the president will not achieve X. Our job was to force and demand, guys, we need actual understanding of what the cuts will be.

And because otherwise, we're asking us to accept a 5 trillion-dollar limit in our credit card increase. In exchange for nothing!

Literally, in exchange for nothing, but -- but hope.

So our job was to force that change.

Unfortunately, while I was trying to make the argument that we needed something in order to get the votes, someone leaked that down to Mar-a-Lago, and the president reacted.

But now I have to now manage that.

GLENN: Right. I know. I know.

CHIP: They're trying to enforce change in town.

GLENN: So hang on.

We have to leave this. Because I'm going to run against the clock.

I could talk to you all day about this. You were in a meeting this morning about J.D. Vance. Can you tell us anything about that meeting?

CHIP: That meeting happened, because despite what happened yesterday, I'm trying to get this done. Last night, talking to JD, we worked to get this meeting done. We had some good progress this morning.

But there still remains people concerned about spending. That we can work out, what agreement we can reach. On what spending cuts. We can actually get next year, in exchange for giving the vote on a debt ceiling increase.

So it remains fluid. Progress was made. But we have to keep working on it.

And I left that meeting to talk to you. Soil get an update in a minute.

GLENN: Thank you for that, by the way.

I hear there is a new bill that may be coming today.

Is that the one you're talking about?

Or is this another bill that could be another nightmare?

CHIP: Despite other people leaking crap, I refused. I can't say, because it's not been decided by the speaker.

And it's not right to talk about things they're talking about in private meetings.

GLENN: Yeah, but it's -- it's this speaker. I mean, is he really the speaker anymore, Chip, really?

CHIP: We need to hear what bill we need to get forward. And I can't talk about the private meetings. But, look, I'm going to keep fighting for what I promised people that I represent.

I'm going to fight to cut spending. I am going to represent article one.

I'm going to support the president's agenda, but we've got to do that together.

GLENN: Okay.

Chip, thank you.

I think we can -- I think we agree, but I await to see what that means to you. Because we may just have to agree to disagree on this.

But I love you. And I still want you to replace Cornyn.

CHIP: The short version is, for inflation's sake, we cannot increase the debt ceiling $5 trillion without knowing what we're getting for it.

And I don't think anybody should disagree with that.

GLENN: But you don't disagree that Elon Musk and Trump and Vivek are serious about gutting the system.

CHIP: I believe that is their objective. I believe there are obstacles to that objective. And I need to know the sincerity of how we deal with those obstacles, both structural, and human. And we have to figure that out. And that's my job.

America's Favorite Villain Is Ready for Nuclear Fallout. Are You? | Glenn TV | Ep 401

In this episode of Glenn TV — a theatrical how-to guide to survive the breakdown of society after a nuclear attack, according to the new movie “Homestead” from Angel Studios. Glenn Beck interviews the movie’s star and executive producer, Neal McDonough, who plays the head of a family trying to survive as society is breaking down in a postapocalyptic world. You’ve probably seen Neal in everything from the hit TV shows “Yellowstone,” “Suits,” and “Justified” to movies like “Captain America,” “Minority Report,” and the groundbreaking mini-series “Band of Brothers.” Glenn asks Neal what it’s like to play a villain so often, how TV and movies are changing, and how he survived Hollywood as a devoted Christian and husband who refuses to do onscreen kissing scenes with any of his female co-stars. They also discuss his battle with alcoholism, what it’s like working the legends like Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Costner, and the cultural craving for Western cinema.

Biden FLOODED the Government With DEI, But Trump Has ONE Way to Win

With just weeks left in office, President Biden (or whoever’s actually calling the shots) has decided to hire 1,200 DEI officials. Is this part of a plot to undermine Donald Trump’s plans and make it harder for him to rid the government of woke Deep State bureaucrats? Glenn and fellow BlazeTV host ‪@lizwheeler‬ discuss how other Democrats have recently proposed things like this, including a UK-style “shadow cabinet” that would oppose Trump. Liz also gives her advice to Trump on how to deal with these new DEI officials, who will be paid hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to focus on things like “health equity” …

GLENN: Okay. Where were we, Liz?

LIZ: The Biden administration. Although, not Biden. Because he can't tell the difference between a nickel and a dime, trying to sabotage the Trump administration.

GLENN: Yeah. So the latest on this is now Biden is hiring 1200. Biden is not doing it.

But he's hiring 1200 DEI officials, and putting them just under the appointed official. So there will be 1200.

Some of these people make almost $400,000 a year. $400,000 a year! That's your tax dollar!

Will you -- in your -- in your life, your average person, I don't know if you'll ever even -- if you'll ever even pay $400,000 in taxes?

So you could be working your whole life, for that one hire.

And he's hired 1200 of them.

And all he's trying to do is make sure the DEI positions just can't get cut.

I've got news for you.

Donald Trump is going to cut those positions.

He's going to. And it's going to get ugly.

I mean, the ACLU was all over this, saying, oh, we've got plans. We're going to -- we're going to -- this is obscene.

This is absolutely obscene. What the Democrats are trying to do. By thwarting the president.

And honestly, thwarting the will of the American people. Remember the speech that was given by I don't know, some boob from -- well, one of the Carolinas.

I don't want to besmirch the other one for electing a boob. But he was -- he was giving a speech in the well of the Senate. And he said, we need a shadow government. What?

Hold it. You mean a Deep State. Because we already have one of those. And he said. This is a quote.

One of the most obscene things I've ever heard from an elected representative. We failed to make our case. That our policies are better.

Now, in my world, growing up in America, the next sentence is: We need to sit down and talk and find out why we're out of step, with the American people.

His was, but we know we're right. So we need a shadow government, to make sure we put our policies in, anyway.

There's nothing more un-American than that.

By the way, Ted Cruz also said, he thinks there's criminal charges that could be lodged against Biden and his administration for the selling of the steel and the walls for the border.

I think so too. I think so too. He'll probably end up blanketing or pardoning everybody that has either lived by a Biden. Or a Democrat.

Worked for the administration. Everybody will get a pardon at the end.

Honestly, it's like, hey. Everybody, Oprah is here.

Look under your seats.

Because you've got a pardon. You've got a pardon. And you've got a pardon.

Ugh!

Now...

PAT: The Department of Health and Human Services on November 15th. This is posted immediately after President Trump has been reelected.

They advertised for the following position. A deputy assistant secretary for Minority Health. With a salary of up to 221 thousand dollars. This is the goal of this position.

Or this is the purpose of this position.

To, quote, promote health equity.

To promote health equity.

What does that mean?

It means racial criminalization in health care.

It means, if you are seeking, I don't know.

Think about during the pandemic. When there was limited resources. Limited beds in the emergency room.

Limited amounts of drugs and therapeutics, that people could access, in order to treat COVID when it's at its worse.

Well, now you will be screened based on the color of your skin.

That's what health equity is. Health equity is a word used to disguise the reality, that it's just -- it's socialism.

It's discrimination.

It requires, a government official to look at you, and make a decision about whether or not you are going to have access to health care that you might need, based on what you look like.

Not based on the severity of your illness. Not based on your ability to pay. Not based on your request for care. But based on the color of your skin. That's not only wrong and immoral and completely absurd, that a bureaucratic in that position would make over $221,000. That's evil. The left likes to pretend, that you're a racist. Or I'm a racist. Just for voting for Donald Trump. This is evil racism. This is the kind of stuff that we eradicated from our country.

And Biden is trying to plant the Trump administration. With these evil little minions before he leaves.

GLENN: I mean, why are we -- why are we surprised?

How many anti-slavery amendments do we have, to the Constitution.

I mean, it's amazing to me. With very few exception, after ten, most of these seem to be like, oh.

Yeah. Okay.

You're so stupid, you don't understand.

Slaves need to be free. Okay.

Then the next amendment is like, okay. All right.

Let me limp up to explain this once more.

That means, they're Americans, and can vote!

How many amendments are -- are just one after another, especially on slavery.

And, by the way, who was it that didn't understand that slaves should be freed? The Democratic Party.

It -- I swear to you, these amendments are just, God, we didn't think you would be this stupid.

It's already covered!

But let's lay it out clearly, for you.

You cannot discriminate by color! By race! By religion.

We thought that had already been covered, but apparently, not.

LIZ: What I would do if I were the Trump transition team. This is obviously a deliberate effort by the Biden administration. Because within the first ten days after the election, 33 of these jobs were posted on government websites.

So this was -- they were like, okay. Trump is coming in. Let's start ceding the deep state with these races. What I would do if I were Trump transition is I would say, we take racial equality, very seriously. We take civil rights very seriously.

In the administration, of the 47th president of the United States, and anybody who engages, especially a government official who engages in racial discrimination will be prosecuted. And prevent these people from even accepting these jobs. Because they will be threatened with legal action if they do.

GLENN: You can make a legal case. A solid, legal case, that that is exactly right. And that's what should be done.

They would be doing that to us, if we were -- if we were discriminating on race. If we were like, you know what, we're only going to hire white people.

We would go to jail.

Oh, you know what. We're just going to shuffle the deck here.

We're going to look at everybody.

But we lean towards white people.

Did you have Wheaties for breakfast?

If you had Wheaties as a childhood, you're in a different category. Okay?

I mean, we would go to jail. We would be shut down.

It's the same thing.

But don't expect the Democrats to get it.

Did you see the new -- or the DNC chair front runner?

The one they're thinking should be the head of the DNC?

He said, the problem with the election is, the convention should have featured pro-Hamas activists.

LIZ: I totally agree. That absolutely should have --
GLENN: At least they would have been honest.
LIZ: Think about how many Democrat voters, and really prominent people too.

I'm talking about Joe Rogan. I'm talking about Elon Musk. I'm talking about RFK Jr. These were fairly hard-core Democrats, who not only converted to being like, okay. We'll tolerate a Republican. Because it's not Joe Biden.

It's not Kamala Harris.

These people are the biggest supporters of President Trump right now, because of that kind of garbage. So DNC, if you are going to be radical, please be honest and tell us.

Thank you. It's just ushering new Republican voters right into our arms.

GLENN: I respect you, more than I respect people like Mike Johnson.

Mike Johnson doesn't tell me what -- he doesn't tell me what he really is.

What he really believes.

He tells me what I want to hear. I don't believe it. Then he's elected. Then he gets in.

And then he rapes you.

You know, I have much more respect for -- for people who are like, yeah. I'm pro-Hamas.

And you should elect me.

Well, I don't think I'm going to do it.

But thank you for telling me who you really are.

LIZ: Yeah. Great. Let's take all of the Democrat members of Congress. And let's Jamaal Bowman them, let's Cori Bush them.

Because as soon as they were honest about being pro-Hamas, voters were like, actually, we're good.

GLENN: Yep. Yep.

By the way, Hochul has come out. And she has now tried to stir up support to end the electoral college.

Because no offense, Wyoming, according to her words, New York voted for Kamala Harris.

You know, it is so dishonest. And this would -- this would have no space, if -- if we were actually teaching you students, what the electoral college is for.

You want to talk about fairness. Here's fairness: Should New York City dictate what all of New York does?

No!

They have representation. Of all the small towns.

All the farming towns.

Everything else.

New York City, should not be the one that tells everyone else, exactly how to live!

I think there should be electoral colleges in states now.

Because the cities are just devouring, all of the communities outside of those mega cities.

The electoral college is to make sure, that New York, California, and let me say, Texas, doesn't run over all of the other states!

And force how they're living in those cities, and those big states. In Wyoming!

Or Idaho!

Or Alabama!

Yeah. I don't have to live like you do in New York City.

I don't want to live like you do in New York City.

And we have completely different values than you do.

We should have a say, and an even, equal seat at the table.

That's why we have the electoral college. And we have the popular vote.

So you can see. And it's usually pretty close.

This time, however, Hochul, you lost the popular vote!

So you don't really have a case here, on the electoral college.

But you don't have a case.

If you're an American, you don't have a case on the electoral college anyway.

LIZ: Wait a second. Have we war gamed the scenario that you just proposed.

If there was an electoral college on the state level in California or on the state level in New York, what would the -- have we actually looked at a map here. If anybody has done this. Tag me on social media.

Because I am fascinated by this idea. I've not thought of this before. But I -- would we actually swing those states Republicans, if there was a state level?

STU: I bet we would. I bet we would.

You know, every time. Look at Wyoming.

Jackson Hole now controls Wyoming. Just controls it.

Who is -- who is so close to controlling Texas?

All the big cities.

You know, you don't have a chance. When these cities grow so large, they tip everything.

That's why we have an electoral college.

And it didn't used to be this way.

But our cities are becoming mega cities.

Almost states in and among themselves.

You -- you have to balance. Otherwise, the farmer and everybody else, that makes your life possible, in a city, gets screwed.

GLENN: And also think about cheating for a second. If you have a popular vote across the whole country, versus an electoral college system, it's a lot easier to impact the outcome of the entire presidential election because you can have one county somewhere with corrupt election officials.

And if they cheat by 10,000 votes, that could change the outcome of the election.

But if you're an electoral college, it doesn't necessarily.
