Nikki Haley: Republicans CAN ‘right the ship.’ Here’s how.

President Biden is ‘RUNNING SCARED,’ Nikki Haley tells Glenn. And he's doing it both domestically and abroad. But thankfully, the former U.S. Ambassador to the UN says, we CAN ‘right the ship.' We just need to find the right Republicans — ones who will stand STRONG against Democrats and for conservative values — to get the job done. Haley tells Glenn which candidates have already caught her eye and how the GOP can prove to Americans they deserve power in Congress. Plus, Haley weighs in on the Ukraine/Russia conflict and our growing inflation rates…

GLENN: Welcome to the program, Nikki Haley. How are you?

NIKKI: Thank you, my friend. It's great to be with you.

GLENN: It's good to see you.

NIKKI: Great to see you.

GLENN: So I want to talk to you about a couple of things. I have a lot to run through with you.

But let's just start the news around the world. What the hell is happening with Ukraine? This does not feel right. It doesn't feel good.

NIKKI: It shouldn't feel right, and it shouldn't feel good. You know, this is a bigger fight than just Russia and Ukraine. This is a fight for freedom.

And how we handle this matters. You know, we saw how horrible we handled Afghanistan. We can't continue to have those blunders. Because when Afghanistan fell, it let every corrupt dictator around the world say, this is a weak America. We better move now, while we can. And that's what we're seeing happen.

GLENN: Okay. So do you think we should be fighting? Actually in there fighting?

NIKKI: Americans should not be in there fighting, no. And Ukrainians haven't asked us to. But when you see a freedom-loving country, trying to protect their own turf, we should give them every ounce of ammunition they need. We should be pulling in. And I'm glad to see NATO pulling in their weight. Because that was hugely important.

GLENN: Yeah.

NIKKI: They need to be giving everything. And we all need to go and support Zelinsky to win this fight on freedom. And when he wins, no other dictator will try and do this again.

GLENN: Okay. So I agree that we should not go in. I'm a little concerned that Joe Biden was saying, hey, we can't let anybody take these old airplanes. Because that might rope us into it. And we're now openly saying, oh, yeah. We're just leaving them at the bus stop in Ukraine. I mean, what are we -- what happened to where --

NIKKI: It's foolish, Biden is running scared. He's been running scared from the beginning. If he had done sanction before his Putin moved in, we wouldn't have seen this. President Trump had said, we would send them equipment and ammunition in March of last year, when they had already -- Biden stopped it. We were supposed to send another group in June of last year. Biden stopped it. All because he thought it would cause Putin to react. Look at what happens when you don't stand strong. If you stand strong before conflict, the conflict never happens.

GLENN: Why does Putin keep saying that we're on the edge of nuclear war?

NIKKI: Because he has nothing left.

GLENN: Is that a dig -- so does that make him more believable? On that?

NIKKI: He doesn't want to die. And listen -- but at the same time, let's not ignore him. This is a real danger. This is something that is serious. It's why Ukraine needs to win and win strong. If Putin feels like there is a window, he's going to keep going. If we can stop him where he's at, then he will start to retreat. The key to that is, one, making sure that Ukrainians aren't begging for help. That they get the help that they need, including the planes, including the anti-air defense systems that they're constantly begging for. But also making sure we hit Putin where it hurts. He can't continue a war if he's got the money to fuel it. And we have to sanction the energy companies, and Biden still won't do it.

GLENN: Okay. So there was talk last week, that after the French election, that Europe was going to say, no more oil, from -- from Russia.

Do you believe that? Is that in the works?

NIKKI: I think the U.S. needs to be pushing them that way. There is not an option for them to continue to be getting oil from Russia. It puts us all in danger for them to do that. Are they going to struggle?

Yeah, a little bit. Can we double down and start, you know, exporting liquified natural gas? Can we help them go and find other avenues to get it, just like Poland and Lithuania are getting it from Australia? Yes, we can. That's what has to happen.

GLENN: But they're not going to do that. This Biden administration will not release any kind of sanctions, if you will, on our own companies, to go and get more liquefied natural gas. To go get anything. Even for -- for our own self. We're shipping our own strategic oil reserve, to Europe.

NIKKI: Because Biden is scared of the climate change people, like he's scared of the Green New Deal, you know, people that fight for that. And we're seeing it. And it's making America weak. I mean, it's a serious issue, what we've got right here. But we can right the ship. That's a serious thing. I have faith that we can right the ship.

And that first starts by, do we win these elections in November? But more importantly, what do we do when we win?

We have to prove, we deserve to be there. So when respects take control of the House and Senate, which I'm all over the country, trying to help candidates. When they take it, what do they do?

You don't just say no to Biden. What do you say yes to? You say yes, to making sure that we're exporting more liquified natural gas, that we're opening up our energy reserves. You say yes to, we're going to stop all this wasteful spending. You say yes to the fact that we'll be strong abroad, by having a strong voice against terrorism. And all dictators that to threaten America. Or say death to America. We can start doing things. You can say, yes. We're going to take care of our children's education. And we won't let all these teacher's unions do it. We have to say yes to a lot of things, and not just say no to Biden.

GLENN: So how do we say yes to the end of inflation?

How is this going to be solved? Because we're close to the death spiral here, on inflation.

NIKKI: I mean, Glenn, it's so bad, that the average family is spending five to $6,000 more a year.

Now, when Michael and I were raising our children, if you told us we had to spend 5 to 6,000 a year, do you know where we would get it from? A credit card. And do you know what happens to families, when that happens? That's the fear that I have is, what, these families, who are just trying to make it through today? The way you do that is, first of all, yes, we open up our energy sector. We make sure something like that works. But we stop this wasteful spending. Do you know in the last spending package, Republicans and Democrats passed 5,000 earmarks. Totally $10 billion. You want to hear what some of that was?

$12 million for a baseball park in New York.

20 -- $15 million, for New Jersey to apply to get the world cotton. Six and a half million for golf courses in Colorado. This is Republicans and Democrats doing this, Glenn. That is not okay. You can't say and go on TV. And scream that inflation is terrible. And cosponsor an earmark. And open that back up.

Where were our Republicans in this? Why did they allow this to happen? We had stopped earmarks.

GLENN: Well, that's kind of where I am with the Republican Party. I don't see -- I see a few that are standing up. And are fighting the good night. But then you see people like Mitch McConnell.

I mean, you know -- you've got to clean out these -- these federal agencies.

NIKKI: Term limits. Term limits.

GLENN: You have to just clean them out. Well, you're not going to be able to do that if you have a president, without the Congress. Congress has to do it. And you can have, you know, control of the Congress with Republicans, but do they even get it?

NIKKI: Do you know what else Congress can do? Put controls on our border. They can fix this border crisis. Where is Congress? That's what I'm going to keep saying is, we need the fighters. We need those that understand, that you have to make so much noise. The beam will follow you, if you do that. But you can't go on this runaway spending where our debts are more than our economy. Do you know, we're having to borrow money to make our interest payments? Our kids and grandkids will never forgive us for this. We have to right the ship. For the good of our country. For the good of the world, for the good of the next generation. It's time for all this to stop.

GLENN: So one of the things that you do, you're the Founder of Stand for America. And you go out and you try to promote good policies, and also the right candidates. You just endorsed Sarah Palin. Why?

NIKKI: A couple of reasons. First of all, when I was running for governor the first time, there were five candidates. I started as the fifth out of five. Had the at least amount of money. The least name ID. And I got up to the second position, I was running against lieutenant governor, a congressman, an attorney general, a state senator. Got up to the second position, and Sarah Palin, without telling her staff, called me the day before, and said, her -- Todd called and said, we're coming to South Carolina. We're going to endorse Nikki. And she did -- a life -- pro-life speech in the morning. She did an NRA speech in the afternoon. And she came and endorsed me in the evening. And helped push me over the deepened.

So first, I'll tell you, my loyalty to her, will always be strong. But secondly, it's because I believe in her. She had a voice that matters. Glenn, she was canceled before we ever talked about cancel culture. She was vilified by the media, before we ever had all this happen. And she was a great governor. She understood the value of a dollar. She understood what real families went through. And she, and I, they called us the rock star sisterhood. We related on so many levels because the establishment denied me. And the resistance didn't think I was cool enough, or fit the mold for them. And Sarah went through the same thing. And, you know, we need her voice in Congress. I would love to see her walk in the halls of Congress, and reminding them of what the Tea Party was all about. And how tax enough is already happening again. I would love for her to talk about, what energy -- opening up our energy policies, and really doing that.

She's the right person. I would love to have her back.

STU: Where is she? She in Arizona?

GLENN: Sarah. She's in Alaska. She's in Alaska.

STU: She's back in Alaska. All right. So who is the -- who is the candidate that you have seen that went, that you've said, oh, my gosh. This is a new breed.

NIKKI: You know, I think there's been a few. In the last cycle, it was the Victoria Sparks. It was the -- it was the Nicole Malliotakis. It was the Nancy Mace. There were a lot of us just fighters. Just had good fighters about them. Now we're seeing different ones, in terms of like Morgan Luttrell in Texas. Wesley Hunt in Texas. Like, those were fantastic. Tony Gonzalez in Texas. We just did him, as well.

Monica De La Cruz. We're looking at her hard.

You know, there are some really good ones here in Texas, but around the country, we're seeing some really great ones.

GLENN: Good.

NIKKI: And so I just endorsed -- Tiffany Smiley in Washington State. You know, a lot of people are throwing Washington State away. If anybody can win, in Washington State, it's Tiffany Smiley. So we're not just going after the easy races, we're going after the ones that could be really difficult. It's why we endorsed Jack Ciattarelli in New Jersey for governor. He lost by one percentage point. We almost had it. It's why we endorsed Glenn Youngkin Virginia.

It's because we know, when we get in there you got to push these people over the finish line, like Sarah Palin pushed me. Because when you see those fighters. When you see those people that can really move the ball. That you know they're not just going to bring good policy. But they're going to bring good fight. And they're not going to be afraid to stand up to the establishment. Those are the people that we want.

GLENN: Elon Musk. When we come back. Give me one minute.

GLENN: So I -- I am sure I agree with Elon Musk on a lot of stuff. I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

Because he -- A, he's Tony Stark. I mean, he just -- he doesn't care. But the other thing is, is he has a vision of where things are going. You listen to him. And you listen to anybody on television. Anybody in Congress or the White House. And there's no vision there.

What do you think about him taking over Twitter?

NIKKI: I love it. It's a win for freedom.

It's an absolute win for freedom of speech.

But what I love is Elon Musk is not afraid to rattle the cage. Now, maybe when you have that much money, you can rattle all the cages you want. I'm grateful for him. And now my question is: Who is next? Let's keep going. Yeah. Let's not stop with him.

GLENN: Yeah.

NIKKI: And, you know what, there's Facebook. There's Instagram. There's the big media, that we need to go and rattle those cages. Let's do it. And Elon Musk has been the start. Let's not that be the end.

GLENN: Yeah. I don't think it will be. You know, I was thinking about it this morning, we're at the end of that -- of that cycle, that pendulum cycle, in I think 2024, the pendulum starts to swing back to individual liberty. So we're almost there. We just to have make it. By 2030. We just have to make it. And things will swing back and be good.

STU: Can I ask you a question about education? Because we've seen over the past couple of years. Covid presented, with all its horrible negatives. A unique opportunity for conservatives to communicate, what they believe is right, when it comes to education, in a proactive sense, right? People saw what was going on. They were forced to watch the Zoom classes. And saw the crazy stuff that was being taught. And also that the schools wouldn't open up. A lot of conservatives responded to that by saying, we have to open these schools up. And of course, that was the right argument. But isn't there more that we can do here? Isn't this a unique opportunity to talk about school choice and freedom --

GLENN: Abolish the Department of Ed. Abolish the Department of Ed.

NIKKI: You know, but it goes before that, right? So look at precovid. Precovid, 65 percent of fourth graders were not proficient in reading. Precovid, 66 percent of eighth graders were not proficient in reading or math.

STU: Incredible.

NIKKI: Think about that. We had a problem before covid, so don't let them say that covid brought this on. We already had a problem with the establishment, in education, before. So now you go and you look at the fact, that in rural South Carolina, where I was born and raised, covid hits. Think of a child, where both parents had to work.

Here is this kid, using a screen he's never used before.

Used by way of a hot spot, on a school bus down the street. Now think he's in third grade. What he's reading. Reading, refractions, science. Do you think the teacher's unions are going to tell his parents to hold him back? They're not. So what happened after two years of lost education, when we were already behind in math and reading. Who is going to stand up for these kids?

And then you take it a step further, that those kids in South Carolina. When all the wealthy families got to put their kids in private schools. Where did the rest of the kids go?

That's my issue is, one, let's go back and fix what was already broken. You've got some kids. Don't push them through to the next grade. Don't push them through later. If a child can't read by third grade, they're four times less likely to graduate high school. Then we need to open up school choice. We need to open up charter schools, and we need to go put the blame, where it belongs, which is on the teacher's unions. And the Democrats that wanted covid money, more than they wanted to teach our kids, and we have to hold them accountable to that.

GLENN: So I've been saying lately. You can be a great teacher. But if you're a member of the teacher's union. I'm sorry. You're part of the problem. You don't have to be a member of that union.

Stop.

NIKKI: That's exactly right. Your voice will be loud enough without the union. The union is just making money off of you. The union in California, basically made sure they opened schools for one day, just to get the covid money. One day. What did that do for a child? Nothing. But it got them the money they wanted. We've got to start telling teachers, we want to empower you, but the unions aren't going to be the way to do that. The people will be the way to do that.

GLENN: Would you be for abolish the Department of Education?

NIKKI: I think it's completely messed up. We need to bring it back down and start it back over. And the way we start it back over, is give the states control. Give the states control --

GLENN: Because they already have that. You don't need them to. I don't need an office in Washington, DC.

NIKKI: No. Let me tell you, as governor, we did education reform.

Every governor in the country could make an impact, because what the Department of Education does is, says, if you take this money. If you teach this class, we'll give you this much money. If you teach critical race theory, we'll give this much money. If you teach this, we'll give you this much money. States right now, are teaching to the money. They're not teaching to the children. States need do control education. We don't need it controlled from DC. Because one size does not fit all.

GLENN: Right. And the way to do that, is to abolish the Department of Ed. No strings. Nobody is answering the phone in Washington, DC. Let the state --

NIKKI: It's bloated, it's bureaucratic, and it's lost sight of children.

GLENN: Always good to see you. Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Former south Carolina governor. And founder of Stand for America, which you can find at StandforAmerica.com.

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.
