DOGE Reveals INSANE Things the Government Spent YOUR Tax Dollars On

President Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE has uncovered an insane list of things that USAID has spent your taxpayer dollars on. The “US Agency for International Development” sure seems to like spending money on things that seemingly have nothing to do with “international development,” like trans surgeries and LGBT activism in Guatemala, helping the BBC value the diversity of Libyan society, and promoting inclusion in Vietnam (through TWO SEPARATE groups…how inclusive). Glenn reads through a list of often-vague expenditures compiled by DOGE and wonders…how many governments could USAID (a CIA front) have influenced or flipped with this amount of cash?

GLENN: You know, I -- I am having a hard time understanding how Democrats -- well, no. I can't say that.

Democrats are just not getting the truth.

And I mean the Democrat that lives down the street from you.

They're just not getting truth.

They're still listening to the mainstream media. You know, the mainstream media is dismissing the -- as Liz Wheeler pointed out.

The $34.5 million gift from the government to Politico!

And we're going to have a lot more on that.

All of the things that are happening. And they're being -- you know, souped up, by these corrupt people in Washington.

I mean, how -- how is it people are angry that Elon Musk is coming in and finding waste?

That's something all of us should want. Right?

PAT: Because it's our money. It's our money!

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: That's being wasted.

GLENN: This is the tip of the iceberg.

First of all, when we're talking about USAID. What's really important. And I know you understand this. If you've listened to me for a long time.

Or you've watched all of the shows, we've exposed all of this, oh, my gosh.

2010!

We started exposing it. But it really came to the fore when we started talking about Ukraine under the first Trump administration, when they blamed him for, you know, corruption with Ukraine and the impeachment.

We started looking into what happened with Ukraine. And my gosh, USAID as we've always told you, is -- it's an arm of the CIA.

Anything that is too risky to do. That you just don't want to do in the CIA. Because somebody is paying attention. You do it at USAID. Okay?

So all the revolutions, all the Colour Revolutions, that happened all around the world. They were done by us. The Arab Spring was done by us!

You know, we looked at that, and we were told, this is just a spontaneous. No, it wasn't!

It was USAID.

And if you look at, I just -- ask your friends, who are Democrats, are you cool to spend $7.9 million to teach Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary-generated language? $20 million for a new Sesame Street Show in Iraq.

Actually, that one, you could make a case for!

Because all of the kids are being, you know, brainwashed, into -- whatever!

I mean, I don't want to do it. But that one, you could make a case for.

$4.5 million plus, to combat disinformation in Kakistan! 1.5 -- $4.5 million?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: I could hire everybody in Kakistan right now, just to talk to the sheep. Whatever.

PAT: It was Tajikistan. Not Kajikistan. Because that's just a completely different situation.

GLENN: Crapkanistan. So 1.5 million for art. For inclusion of people with disabilities.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: $2 million for sex changes and LGBT activism in Guatemala. $6 million to transform digital spaces to reflect feminist democratic principles.

I don't even know what those democratic feminist principles are.

But transform digital spaces?

What? So spaces that don't actually exist?

$2.1 million to help the BBC value the diversity of Libyan society.
(laughter)

PAT: It's not funny. But it sounds -- when you hear it this way.

GLENN: I would like a Democrat that's very upset.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: With the closure of USAID to come on and just defend any of this.

$2.1 million to help the BBC, which is the British broadcasting company.

Which is on the European -- I'm sorry. The English dole.

Has money coming out their butt from the king.

And we're paying for -- so the value, the diversity of Libyan society?

I don't even know the diversity of the Libyan society!

I don't really care about the diversity of the Libyan society!

10 million dollars' worth of USAID-funded meals. Which went to an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group.

$25 million for Deloitte to promote green transportation in the country of Georgia!

The -- the president of Georgia told me once, he said, we get American values. We -- we are -- we are -- we're all behind the Founders of America. We get it. We understand freedom, probably better than you do. Because we had to fight for our freedom recently.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: He said, please don't send us any more freedom stuff.

We've got it!

Top sending us the Marxists, and the people who are trying to put us back into that situation.

PAT: Wow!

GLENN: $6 million for tourism in Egypt.

Well -- what?

Honestly, you know, here's the best thing you can do for tourism.

Don't foment, you know, an Arab spring.

That kind of stopped me from going to Egypt, you know.

Stop terrorism.

That would be a good thing.

$2.5 million to promote inclusion, in Vietnam.

PAT: Yeah. I like the next line item too.

GLENN: 16.8 million for --

PAT: For a separate group.

GLENN: For a separate group.

PAT: To promote inclusion into Vietnam.

GLENN: Wait. So there's --

PAT: You can't --

GLENN: No. You have to have them separate. And one only gets 2.5. And the other gets $16.8 million!

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Do you know what $16.8 million would buy in Vietnam!

PAT: Oh, man.

GLENN: Can you imagine what -- how far the dollar goes?

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: I mean, you can -- and this is USAID. This is their whole point.

You can have revolutions in some countries with this amount of money.

$5 million to EcoHealth. Alliance.

Oh. One of the key NGOs funding bat virus research in the Wuhan lab.

$20 million to a group, related to a key player in the Russiagate impeachment hoax. $1.1 million to an Armenian LGBT group. I love how specific this is getting too, you know.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: We have a LGBTQ group in Armenia.

1.2 million to help the and does development agency in Washington, DC, build a state-of-the-art 440-seat auditorium.
(laughter)

PAT: That's just so ridiculous.

GLENN: Wait. The African Methodist Episcopal Church. Okay. Methodist Episcopal Church services and development agency in Washington, DC! To build a state-of-the-art --

PAT: Oh, at least that stayed in the US then. That's good. That's good.

GLENN: Create jobs.

$1.3 million to Arab and Jewish photographers.

I don't -- what did we -- did we get some pictures?

At least show me some great black and whites?

Do we have any great black and whites? 1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica. They have to love that.

1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem.

PAT: Yeah. That's -- that's been crumbling for -- I've been saying it for how long? How long?

GLENN: When is somebody going to New Jersey and rebuild that ecosystem.

PAT: That ecosystem.

GLENN: That has to happen.

Again, I go back to $1.5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica. Have you been to Jamaica. To an how much $1.5 million would buy in Jamaica?

PAT: A lot.

GLENN: A ton. 1.5 to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem. I think you could buy the presidential palace in Cuba for 1.5 million.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: $2 million to promote LGBT equity, through entrepreneurship in Latin America.

500,000 to solve sectarian violence in Israel.

By the way, they gave that just before -- you know, just a few days before October 7th. 2.3 million for artisanal and small scale gold mining in the Amazon.

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: Are we -- do we get to keep the gold?

Do we get any of the gold?

PAT: My guess is no.

GLENN: 3.9 million for LGBT causes in the Western Balkans.

You know, when you have something that vague, you can spend that on anything. On absolutely anything.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: 5.5 million for LGBT activism in Uganda. 6 million for advancing LGBT issues in priority countries around the world.

What countries are -- 6.3 for men who have sex with men in South Africa.
(laughter)
Did we just -- wait. Did we just go out in the public square and say, hey, if you're a guy who is having sex with a guy, can you raise your hand? I have some money for you!

What the hell is that?

6.3 million for men who have sex with men in South Africa. 8.3 million for USAID, education, equity, and inclusion.

USAID's climate strategy. Outlined 150 billion whole of agency approach to building an equitable world with net zero green house gas emissions.

I mean, give that list to your friends. And just say, hey.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: What part of this are you for?

PAT: Are we just immune to numbers like that now?

GLENN: Yeah. I think we are.

PAT: We hear trillions now so often, so hundreds of billions and trillions now.

That maybe when we hear $20 million for Egypt tourism. Maybe it just doesn't affect us anymore.

We're like, eh. That's not that much.

GLENN: It's more than most people will pay in income tax, their entire life. Wasted. Wasted.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And your kids are on the hook for a loan, for to pay for things like that, because we're, you know, $3 trillion overbudget.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Every -- every American. I don't care who you voted for.

Every American should be pissed off at this.

And since when -- since when has America been okay with being this dark ops country?

We're not fighting communism anymore. Okay?

When were -- when have we suddenly become comfortable with just overthrowing countries?

Just overthrowing regimes?

Just going in and having the CI -- not making the case for it.

Just going in and having a few people, along with George Soros, just decide, that regime shouldn't be here. We're going to overthrow it.

When did we become cool with all of this? The answer is, we didn't. We didn't.

The biggest -- biggest enemy we fight, is complacency.

It's -- it's not the other side. It's not this ideology. It's complacency. All this stuff would be stopped, if there were enough people on both sides. All size.

That would stand up and go, what the hell is this?

I mean, we can talk about disagreement on the tax policy and everything. But this. It's got to stop right now!

Right now.

Why This State SUED China Over COVID and Threatened to Seize Assets

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is suing China for $25 billion in damages connected to its role in the COVID-19 pandmeic and withholding PPE. Missouri cites new evidence from the CIA that says the Wuhan lab leak theory is the most likely cause of the pandemic. So, will China finally pay? AG Bailey explains that if he wins and China, which has not been cooperative, refuses to pay, he has a backup plan: seize Chinese-owned assets in America, including farmland.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I want to tell you about our new secretary of state, Marco Rubio real quick here. You know, he had a travel ban on China. He could not go to China. He said something, I don't know. In 2022, that the Chinese didn't like.

And they were like, you're not coming to visit us!

Well, now he's Secretary of State. So he called his co -- or, his counter person over in China. The foreign minister of China. And they were talking.

And in roughly translated, the Chinese said to Rubio. We know you'll behave.

Well, if you actually know Chinese, apparently, that takes on completely different connotation. It means, it's not something you would say, unless the person you're talking to is an underling. And it's basically, I know you're going to do what I say.

And Rubio said, no.

I'm going to do what's right for my country. In fact, I'm scheduling a visit to China right now.

He's got a travel ban. And he's going.

This administration is putting the world on notice. And I think it's going to be wildly effective, if they can continue to -- walk the way they're walking. And just set the table back to common sense.

And what's right for both of us.

I don't want anything bad to happen to China. But you're not going to treat us as an underling.

And, you know, if we don't get that prowess back that we're at least an equal partner at the table. We will got screwed all the time, as we have been.

Now, one of the things that I'm really glad to see that's been taken care of. The CIA apparently released a memo that came out a couple years ago, saying that the Wuhan lab was probably the most likely leak, of COVID. Well, that's not what they said, under the Biden administration.

Why all of a sudden, are we getting this, now that Biden is gone?

Why is the CIA now saying, yeah. It's probably Wuhan labs?

And somebody is actually doing something about this, Andrew Bailey. He's the Missouri attorney general. Missouri thinks they might have found a we to hold China accountable for COVID.

Andrew, welcome.

ANDREW: Hey, thank you for having me on.

GLENN: You bet. So what is -- what is your idea here?

ANDREW: We filed a lawsuit against China.

And the Chinese communist government asking for 25 billion, with a B, dollars in restitution and remediation for the damage they caused the Missourians by unleashing the COVID pandemic on the United States of America. And then hoarding and withholding, the PPP needed for the state to respond to the crisis.

It's called the Federal Sovereign Immunities Act. That's the basis for our lawsuit.

We're in trial today in the United States District Court, for the Eastern District of Missouri.
And I anticipate, we are going to win.

GLENN: This is -- I mean, this is phenomenal! What makes you think that you can win this?

ANDREW: Well, it helps when the other side doesn't show up.

That's how little the Chinese communist government thinks about these United States of America. That they won't even participate in a judicial process.

And, look, this isn't some crackpot theory that I can talk about on my own. The people's elected representatives in Congress enacted a statute that specifically allows states to sue for governments.

And that's the statute we've utilized. And China has not participated. As they've been granted due process of law, under the -- the judicial process. And served with notice.

They had the opportunity to be heard in court.

Had declined to do so.

Have not shown up.

I anticipate, we will get a judgment.

And we will begin executing that judgment, at the appropriate time.

GLENN: So you know that China is not going to -- they will do everything they can. To not pay it. You know, even if they're deemed guilty, they will say, well, we didn't show up. Kind of like us with the hay.

So what actually will happen with this?

ANDREW: Well, if we have a valid judgment issued by a United States district court, we can execute that government, by seizing assets that the Chinese government owns, not only the state of Missouri, but using any willing partner in any state, in the United States of America. And so we're identifying assets.

And we will continue to do so. And it's a lot of concern to Missouri, because agriculture is such a big part of our economy here in the Midwest and in the state of Missouri. And so, does China own farmland in Missouri?

You know, what other assets do they have in this state or in other states, that we can seize to execute on that 25 billion-dollar judgment.

GLENN: Holy cow.

Okay. This is fantastic.

I'm just thinking of the ramifications of seizing assets of China. Have you -- have you had any conversations with anyone in the Trump administration, on how this might play out?

ANDREW: Certainly. We stay in constant contact with the Trump administration. I know President Trump's incoming Department of Justice is monitoring this case. And familiar with it. We will remain in contact with them. Certainly, it's the prerogative of the United States. The president of the United States to execute foreign policy on behalf of this country.

This is different. This is, again, the people's elected representatives in Congress, created a judicial process for states to seek redress against foreign governments that harm those states.

But you're absolutely right.

This has to be part and parcel, and in symbiosis and in coordination with the executive branch of the federal government.

We will remain in contact with the president.

GLENN: All right. So what is your case? How are you making this case? That they intentionally released it here in America?

ANDREW: Well, it's corroborated not only with the evidence that we've found, and that we've adduced in court. But it's corroborated by the recent CIA memo that President Trump released just within the last few days.

Look, this is something that we have been talking about for a while. We knew that this wasn't some accidental transmission from an animal in a wet market to a human. That this was part of a -- the design, you know, virology study, at the Wuhan lab. It was too coincidentally, right? To be an accident.

And then China lied about it. And then China hoarded the -- isn't that how communist governments work? They create a problem.

And then withhold the means of solving that problem. So you are dependent on that government. And that's it basis of our gains.

GLENN: So what do you say to those who say, that's great.

But you're only holding half of the Frankenstein doctor, responsible?

You have Fauci.

You have EcoHealth.

You have all of these other people that were knowingly sending money.

And everything else, over to Wuhan.

How are those people held to account?

Or are they?

WILLIAM: No, I think you're absolutely right.

I think this is just one piece of an ongoing strategy to find justice for victims of COVID. And it's the American people who were lied to. Who were deceived, who were sold a bill of goods. Not only as to the lab leak. But also to the potential remedies. You know, the health risks associated with the pandemic. The lockdowns. The masking, the deprivation of our liberties. I mean, America suffered a traumatic injury, as a result of the pandemic. And we're still looking for justice.

This is just one avenue to obtain that justice. But certainly, this isn't the work that my office will do, and that the American people, certainly the people of Missouri will demand.

GLENN: So they are saying that maybe the Biden pardons of his own family, may not stand up in court. I don't understand the argument. I haven't really looked at it. I don't know if it's valid.

But can the same at all be true for Fauci?

Can we hold these people responsible even if they were pardoned before any fact came out, that showed them doing things wrong or any charges?

ANDREW: Yeah, Glenn, you're absolutely right.

Number one, we're still assessing the legal validity of President Biden's corrupt pardons.

But at the end of the day, regardless of what the federal government does, the federal government can't pardon individuals or offenses under the state law.

So they can still be charged at the state level. And certainly, you know, all options are on the table here in the state of Missouri.

GLENN: That's fantastic.

When do you expect this to be over? You only have one side to present? So when do you suppose this is over?

WILLIAM: Well, the trial should wrap up today, and then I anticipate the district court judge should issue a judgment in the coming days. It shouldn't take long.

Again, a lot of these issues have been litigated in the earlier proceedings in court, when the court dismissed our case, and we had to appeal.

So much of the writing is on the wall. Really, at this point, it's just establishing the images.

And so it shouldn't take long. And we'll be off to the races.

GLENN: Wow! And then the next step is?

WILLIAM: Again, the next step, once we obtain that judgment is identifying assets and working through the legal process to seize those assets, to make good on that judgment, that we will have obtained against the people's Republic of China.

GLENN: Any speculation on how China will react to that?

ANDREW: Well, I'm sure it will be a negative response.

But here's the problem: They had their opportunity. They had their day in court. They didn't show up. They didn't participate. Didn't communicate. Didn't put on any evidence. Didn't enter an appearance. Again, they have to know, that they're subject to the laws of the United States of America. And again, there's this federal statute on the books. That gives states a right imagine against foreign governments. So it should come as no surprise to them.

But they've done nothing to defend themselves.

So at the end of the day. It's a tacit administration Domitian of guilt.

When they refuse to even acknowledge or respond to the allegations in the petition of the lawsuit.

GLENN: Andrew, thank you. Appreciate your bravery. And your stick-to-itiveness, if you will. Andrew Bailey, the AG of the great state of Missouri.

Government Caught Paying $34.3 Million for Politico Subscriptions?!

Thanks to the work of Elon Musk’s DOGE, it was recently revealed that Politico has received $8 million from USAID and other government agencies. The money was reportedly payments for subscriptions to Politico Pro. But BlazeTV’s ‪@lizwheeler‬ joins Glenn to discuss her findings: The $8M was just the tip of the iceberg. In reality, the government has spent $34.3M on “subscriptions” over the past few years. But that’s a hefty price per subscription, especially since taxpayers are paying for it! So, what’s really going on here, and can it explain why Politico has led the way on pushing disinformation about things like the Hunter Biden laptop story? Plus, Glenn reveals how the government treated news organizations like TheBlaze...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Liz Wheeler is here. She's the host of Blaze TV's the Liz Wheeler show.

She broke the news early yesterday, that the federal government has been subsidizing Politico. Not to the tune of 6 million. But $34.3 million!

She has the receipts. Liz, welcome to the program!

LIZ: Hi, Glenn. Thanks for having me.

GLENN: You bet. So the media is now saying, this is a right-wing conspiracy. There's nothing to see here. But if the Trump administration -- if -- if those people were all subscribers to TheBlaze and we were getting 6 million or 35 million dollars from the Trump administration, even if it was all legitimate, they would go apoplectic. So tell me why --

LIZ: As they should.

GLENN: What?

LIZ: As they should, when that was happening. This is one of the biggest media scandals of this decade. And it's also a litmus test, anybody in the swamp, anybody, an elected politicians, anybody getting this amount of money from the federal government, they're part of the problem. They're the baddies. Not the goodies here.

So what's happening is yesterday, we woke up to news, that Politico had received $8 million from USAID. USAID, of course, is a so-called autonomous agency of the federal government, that Elon Musk has been DOGing.

He's been exposing corruption in that agency.

GLENN: It's a CIA front.

It is in charge of all the Colour Revolutions all around the world. And the Colour Revolution that they've been trying to pull here in America. Anyway, go ahead.

LIZ: That's exactly right.

I was going to say, it's the nexus of the Censorship Industrial Complex. They've taken their political warfare run and aimed it back at us.

So no better target for Elon Musk than USAID.

This is a scandal in and of itself.

That Politico was receiving $8 million from them in 2024. But what my team and I did is round this website, where any American citizen can find out how their taxpayer money is spent. It's called USASpending.gov.

And you plug in the name of any recipient organization group. We type Politico as the key word.

And then instead of just looking at year 2024, we said all fiscal years. Let's see how much Politico has received in the last 10 years. And what we found, before our very eyes, it began to populate millions upon millions of dollars, totally -- it's $34.3 million.

And, Glenn, this is not just from USAID. This is from a variable laundry list of the most corrupt federal government swampy agencies like the Department of Education. The Department of Health and Human Services.

Subagencies like the FDA. And the CDC. And the EPA. If you look at when these subsidies started, it started just about the moment that Trump descended on that golden elevator in 2015. That's when the gravy train for Politico started.

And then you can see it year by year in 2020 and 2021 when Joe Biden took office, all of a sudden, these subsidies for Politico increased exponentially.

Exponentially. And, of course, you'll have these defenders saying, well, these are just subscriptions that federal government employees paid for Politico pro. It's like a 10,000-dollar a year subscription. They claim it's a premium service.

GLENN: Aimed right toward the Beltway. Aimed right directly at the Beltway. So go ahead.

LIZ: 100 percent.

Well, first of all, that's clinical insane to pay $10,000 for a subscription service.

That's not a subsidy. That's a patronage. If you're paying $10,000, this is what money laundering is. It's nebulous. It's vague. Money is fungible.

So if the bulk of your revenue. Or a huge percentage of your revenue is coming from so-called federal government employees, that are paying this exorbitant fee, what are you going to expect in response?

You're going to expect in response, coverage exactly like Politico is giving us.

Where they told us the Hunter Biden laptop wasn't real. That it was Russian disinformation.

GLENN: But they were the leader on that. They were the leader. Yeah.

LIZ: They were! Of course, which makes sense where they're getting all this 33.3 million. They were defenders of the COVID-19 jab, the Moderna jab, even for young men, which we now know is dangerous.

They're the ones that led, when the Supreme Court leaker leaked -- when the Supreme Court was going to overturn Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs case. They were the ones that published that. So they are the arm, the propaganda arm of the federal government. And here's what's funny.

My team and I got a hold of one of these log-ins for a Politico pro-subscription. We just borrowed it from a friend because we're normal people. That's what everybody normal does.

Aren't going to pay for this. And we went in there. And we went, well, what does Politico pro offer? They said it's a critical function of their job to have access of this.

You know what is behind their pay wall there?

It's a glorified Rolodex. It's just like the phone numbers of staffers and the federal government, kind of a rumor mill. All very publicly available information, if you just exert the tiniest bit of effort.

We're still digging into it, and we'll keep you updated. We'll have more on this Monday on the show.

There is, so far, absolutely nothing useful that would justify even one 10,000-dollar subscription, let alone $34.3 million!

GLENN: This -- as you said, is the biggest scandal in media. So you know, Liz, just a point of information that most people don't know.

During the Obama administration, it may still be true.

I don't know.

You couldn't not only get to Blaze TV, to log on. On a government computer.

You couldn't go to TheBlaze.com. It was banned as a website. For the government! Yeah. Yeah.

LIZ: What? Wow, man. It's so nuts.

GLENN: Yeah. So anybody who is like, you know, they were just -- well, there were a lot of people who wanted to subscribe. And subscribe personally, not through their office.

And just be able to listen or watch. Or just get their news from the news site, TheBlaze.com.

And they were blocked! Every government employee was blocked.

LIZ: I did not know that. It proves exactly what we've been saying. First of all, there is no justification on the face of this earth, for $34.3 million to be given from the federal government agencies to a supposedly objective media organization.

There is just -- there's no explanation for it. We all know that. The swamp creatures that are defending it are exposing their true colors here.

We're not always lucky enough to have an email that says, this $10,000 is for the big guy. Or the 10 percent is for the big guy.

But we know! We're smart people. We use common sense. We know how human nature works. We know if the federal government is giving this exorbitant amount of money to a media organization, what they're going to get in return is coverage and cover-up and propaganda.

And emotional manipulation.

And exactly what we've seen from Politico for the past -- for the past -- for the past decade.

You know, coincidentally since this gravy train began. And one comment on, you know, TheBlaze TV.

I double-checked this morning to see how much our subscriptions are. Because I was like, okay. I pay for a couple of subscriptions to even mainstream media outlets. Although, I really try not to. Because I don't like to give them my money. But I need to for research sometimes.

Normal people pay $100 a year. That's why -- if you go to BlazeTV.com/Liz, it's $120 for an annual subscription, and you can get $20 off. That's what normal people pay.

And even then, they probably share a log in. Which also normal people do.

GLENN: Well, we don't encourage that. But, yes. You're right.

I mean, you know, my initial payment to open the doors, I had a few partners. And they -- I can't remember what they gave. But it was probably around 10 million, together.

And I had put in 20 million, myself.

We started this entire operation, with $30 million!

$30 million, is what kicked off TheBlaze.

When the technology didn't even exist.

That we had to invent all of this stuff to do it.

To have 34 million dollars coming in from the federal government, they are your master!

They are absolutely your master. Could you talk about one thing, Liz?

The press is hanging their hat on the fact that some media outlets said, that was -- that was the cause of them not making payroll. Was DOGE. That didn't have anything to do with it, did it?

LIZ: Well, it depends if you're a swamp creature. And if you view the world through your own twisted reality or if you're a normal person that can look at things, that probably aren't coincidences.

We were told that -- we were told that, according to this initial report. That Politico would never miss a paycheck before.

So I would just pose those questions, to all of us normies, you think as a coincidence that the day the gravy train is cut off, they're not able to make payroll.

GLENN: It's funny. It's funny. Because one of my producers knows one of the people at Politico.

And on the phone, all day yesterday, arguing back and forth.

And this person said, we have payroll glitches here, all the time.

And I thought, I've never had a payroll glitch!

If -- I would get another payroll service, if it was glitchy all the time.

So, I mean, they either have the worst payroll service, which you -- there's lots of them out there, you can get, that actually work.

Or there was something else going on. But that's not the story. The story is --

LIZ: No. That's what they're using to distract from the $34.3 million. Even those subscriptions are a distraction because they don't want us to think, $34.3 million given from basically the Biden regime to Politico.

It is one of the most significant scandals the mainstream media has been exposed without an excuse. Being in the middle of, that I can remember.

GLENN: So we also found out the other day. That our federal government gave millions of dollars to the BBC.

The BB-freaking-C. That have that's supposed to be the queen's money. Not our money!

What the hell are we doing funding the BBC?

I mean, the -- go ahead.

LIZ: No, listen.

This is what is so critical to understand.

The reason why -- I don't know if you've been watching Brian Stelter, it's quite funny. They're freaking out about this.

Jen Psaki on MSNBC, she's like, there's a hostile takeover of the federal government happening. Because you and I are identifying ways that taxpayer money has been corruptly abused. That's a hostile takeover in her mind. But the reason they're freaking out about this, isn't just because their pet projects won't be funded anymore.

They won't have a log-in to their gospel rag. Politico magazine or whatever it is.

Reason they're freaking out. Is because their mechanism of controlling us.

Hinges on the mainstream media outlets.

These corporate media outlets running propaganda for them.

They'll never be able to lie to us. Or emotionally manipulate us.

If the media is not taking a leading role on that.

And now, they can't.

GLENN: On top of that, they also have lost their gravy train through the NGOs.

They found a way to get all of their radical friends to open up an NGO, and then funnel millions of dollars into it so they can do everything that they want with taxpayer dollars!

If you look at just USAID's 2023 fact sheet, they -- the agencies supported 6200 journalists, 707 news outlets, 279 media sector civil society organizations, and the -- and this comes from the Columbia Journalism Review. Now, I don't know.

If you've got 6,000 journalists on your payroll, you could probably influence a few people.

This has got to stop. And I don't know what it's going to take for your neighbors, to stop listening, to the mainstream media.

That's why it's important not to say, in my opinion, that this is why they didn't make payroll. Because we can't prove that. We don't know.

I mean, great coincidence. But we don't know. It's important to say, but this is provably true! It's the thing with Ben Stiller. And, you know, Angelina Jolie going over to Ukraine, getting $20 million.

That didn't happen. That's not true.

You need to know what the truth is! Because the truth itself is so unbelievably powerful!

That you need to know what that is. And that's what we try to give you here, every day.

Liz, thank you for this exposé. It's great!

LIZ: Thanks, Glenn. I appreciate it.

EXPOSED: How Our Government Funded the Illegal Immigration Disaster | Tom Homan | Ep 411

Did you know our own government — using YOUR tax dollars — funded the illegal immigration disaster? While it was bad under President Trump’s first term, it ballooned into an epic disaster under the Biden White House. Even the New York Times had to admit it was the “largest immigration surge in U.S. history.” The Biden administration let in an average of 2.4 MILLION migrants per year during his first three years in office. But the new Trump administration is tackling the mess head-on with a deportation operation targeting dangerous criminals and restoring law and order at the border. It’s a promising start, but to fully dismantle the Biden policies that got us to this point, it requires pulling the plug on the insane funding of NGOs that drive the steady stream of illegal immigrants to the border. Most Americans are completely unaware of how vast the illegal immigration industrial complex is and how WE are funding it all. Glenn reveals a tangled web of corruption that shows how NGOs get paid BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars, which flow from the alphabet soup of federal agencies including the State Department and USAID, FEMA, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security. President Trump’s no-nonsense border czar Tom Homan tells Glenn in an exclusive interview that he’s “very concerned” about reports that Mexico’s drug cartels are planning drone and explosives attacks against U.S. Border Patrol agents. He predicts there “will be violence on the border” and warns that if cartels hurt any federal agents or members of the U.S. military, President Trump will "rain hell down on them" and “wipe them off of the face of the earth.” He also has a message for anti-ICE politicians, like New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who suggest they're knowingly harboring or concealing illegal aliens: “It’s a felony,” and Attorney General Pam Bondi is watching.

Why Trump’s Gaza Takeover Promise is GENIUS

President Trump shocked the world when he announced that the United States will move to take over Gaza, relocate the Palestinians somewhere else, and rebuild it into…practically EPCOT?! But is he serious about this? Glenn argues that Trump is NOT bluffing…but this also probably isn’t his Plan A. And that’s what’s genius about this: Trump moved the Overton Window so that now, countries are discussing whether Israel owns Gaza!

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Last night, he stands up with Bibi Netanyahu on his side, and he says this. Cut one.

DONALD: The US will take over the Gaza Strip. And we will do a job with it too.

We will own it, and we will be responsible for dismantling all of the dangers, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

DONALD: Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out.

Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job. Do something different. Just can't go back. If you go back, it will end up the same way it has for over 100 years.

GLENN: Okay.

Hmm. Kind of unexpected. America is going to build I guess Epcot in the Gaza Strip. Kind of a Rivera thing. So what the hell is that all about?

Well, let me explain. Let me play cut two. This is what he said, before. Listen to this.

VOICE: How many people are you thinking about --

DONALD: All of them. I mean, we're talking about probably a million Senate people. A million Senate people. Maybe a million eight.

But I think all of them. I think they'll be resettled in areas where they can live a beautiful life. And not worry about dying every day.

GLENN: Okay. So he's talking about all of the Palestinians in Gaza going away.

Going to Jordan or Egypt or anything else.

What is everybody talking about today?

Everybody is talking about, wait. The United States wants to make Gaza into the Rivera. We are not talking about moving 1.7 million people into other countries.

Interesting. Isn't it? It's called the Overton window. And Donald Trump has an amazing ability on the Overton window.

Now, here's the best thing about Donald Trump. He never bluffs. He never, ever bluffs.

Is this something that he thinks would be great? Yeah. I believe that he believes, that he could go in.

You know, or we. Under his supervision. And we could bull dose everything, and make it into a nice resort.

Is it he believe that's a great thing for the people in the Middle East? Yeah. Does he believe we could do it? Yeah. Does he want to do it?

Hmm. I don't know. Maybe. If he's allowed to do it, yeah!

He would do it. Is that his first priority?

No! Uh-uh.

So what he's doing is saying, you know what, we're going to do, we're going to build the greatest city of all time. People will be laying by the pools.

Gaza will come and bring you drinks. There will be peace on earth. Snow in the Middle East at Christmastime. It will be beautiful. That's what he is saying.

Does he mean it?

Yes, he does.

Would -- if he's given the opportunity, do that?

Yes, he would. Is that the plan? I don't think so for a couple of reasons. First of all, did you notice what Bibi Netanyahu said right after?

Bibi Netanyahu said, the press was like, would you -- I mean, are you -- Israel would be cool with that?

Okay. That's Israeli land. That's what they've always been saying. That's Israeli land! Should the United States own part of Israel?

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. From my perspective as an American, no. Should you, if you were an Israeli, would you be for that? No! That's Israel's land. So what did Bibi Netanyahu say. None of that.

He said, well, I think it's a good proposal, really smart people. And I think we should discuss it!

Wait. So instead of talking about relocating almost 2 million people, getting rid of the Palestinian state idea. Getting rid of Palestinians being in that hellhole. Instead of talking about that. Instead of, well, what do you think Saudi Arabia is going to say.

Or Jordan. Or Egypt. About relocating.

We're not talking about that. He's moved the Overton window.

The guy is a genius.

Because he means it!

Now, here's something else, I came away with, watching that -- watching the press conference yesterday.

The guy sees things completely differently.

He's not a president like you're used to a president!

And everybody is going to have to get used to that. He wasn't prepared to be president, last time!

He didn't know how the machine worked. I mean, the bad part of the machine.

He didn't know what he was up against. He learned in the first four years. And in the next four years, oh. He went to -- he went to school!

He wrote everything down.

He planned all of this out!

He surrounded himself with the people that could execute it.

And he is just checking off a list of one by one.

And it's overwhelming the system. What are they doing? Let me ask you this. With the USAID. Come on! Seriously.

On Monday, you hear USAID. Something that nobody knows about. USAID has been shut down.

Is the average person standing in front of USAID with Chuck Schumer, with signs they made at home.

That says, you can't shut USAID down? No. Nobody at the grassroots level is doing that.

No one. No one. So they're -- all of these protests are all hyped. And I'll bet you, some of the money from USAID is helping plan some of these things. At least the money that was coming to them.

So they have no place to go.

Because he's exposing everything.

I'll tell you, I wouldn't be surprised if -- and I don't have any information on this. But I wouldn't be surprised if Kash Patel releases the Epstein black book, day one.

He walks in, and goes, oh, by the way.

Boom. Here are all the names. And I'll tell you why I think this: Because look at what Bill Gates is doing right now.

Bill Gates is all over going, you know, that was a stupid thing.

You know, I -- I was with Jeffrey Epstein. And that was really stupid. But he was kind of blackmailing me. Because I had an affair. Did you hear that lately?

So wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Before, there was nothing wrong. And it went that way, for a long time.

But as soon as Donald Trump came in, you're like, yeah. That was a mistake. But he was kind of blackmailing. Bullcrap Bill Gates. You are crapping your pants. Because you are all over that black book.

And you know it's coming out!

Oh, you haven't seen anything yet. You have -- we have been talking about USAID for a decade!

Maybe -- maybe a decade and a half. And nobody did anything about it! It was -- it was -- it was right there in front of you. All you have to do is follow the money. This is the first time anyone is following the money. And this is going to happen on all fronts. The Democrats and anybody, I don't care which side you were on. If you were dirty, you're done. You're done. Did you hear about the -- the -- the offer made to now every member of the CIA?

By the way, we'll give you eight months severance. If you want to go right now.

The CIA. Every CIA agent is being told, yeah. Because we're going to -- we're reshuffling. We're going to change the game now with the CIA.

These people are not fooling around.

You just might get your government back. You just might get it back.

And how is he doing it?

By looking at things! He's the guy that I have wanted now, my entire life, I've been saying, we need a president like John K. Kennedy. That would point to the moon.

And say, we're going there. And return a man back to earth, in ten years.

Except, he's not doing that.

He's saying, we're going to Gaza an absolute hellhole.

A place that has been nothing, but terrorism for the last 100 years.

I'm thinking about making it into a resort. We will build a pool over there.

What?

And he's doing it day after day after day. This guy is going to go down as the greatest president, maybe in league with George Washington!

When I watched that last night, the other thing that struck me, was when he was talking about Iran.

He actually meant how bad he felt about putting sanctions on Iran.

He said, I hated doing that to the people. Because the people are good. It's just their leadership. And I know the people are going to hurt. But I had to do it. And we almost had them! We almost collapsed that system!

And the people have to be free!

And I love the people. But I'm going to have to do it again. And it really bothers me.

That's true!

Everything he said about the Palestinians. None of it was based on hate. He was like, look, they're people just like you. Just like me.

They want to live in peace. If they don't want to live in peace. Then they're going to have to be killed. But if they do want to live in peace. Let's help them!

It was amazing. It was, I'm not an enemy of anyone. Unless you're an enemy of peace!

Unless -- unless you're trying to kill other people.

We're not your enemy.

And, you know, every country can choose how they want to run themselves. This guy just thinks differently. Thinks differently. And acts like -- like a CEO.

And we've never seen a president like him before. I have to tell you, so far I like everything that I see.

Now, I'm not sure about the whole resort thing. But I'm willing to give him the rope of negotiation here.
