EXPOSED: Biden sold RESERVE OIL to a company run by CHINA

Remember when President Biden chose to release 30 million barrels of oil from the U.S. strategic oil reserves, all in an apparent attempt to help the American taxpayer suffering at the gas pump? Well, we now know where some of that oil went. Glenn explains how one million barrels ended up in the hands of a company controlled by CHINA...and a company with ties to the president’s son, Hunter Biden.

GLENN: You know, here's the story. And I know I brought it up last hour. And I'll probably bring up next hour. And I'll probably bring it up every day, until we have an answer on this one.

You know, when Joe Biden said, he was going to release $30 billion of crude oil, to help America. You know, so you didn't -- you -- it was an emergency sale.

You know, our strategic oil preserve. Key word there: Strategic. Strategic.

Meaning, something we would hold on to. We would have in reserve, for strategic purposes. Like going to war. which will never happen.

So he wanted to release 30 million barrels, now, I thought that that goes to the gas stations or wherever. No. No.

No. One of the companies that bought it, there were 12 companies. And they were all vetted from the United States.

And one of them is UNIPEC America, which is fantastic. Fantastic.

UNIPEC America, in case you've never heard of it, I mean, who has? Is the Chinese petrochemical corporation.

So it's controlled by the Chinese government. So we sold a million gallons. Or, I'm sorry. A million barrels, to China. And I'm -- I'm -- I'm wondering, you know, why we did that.

Well, I mean, I'm sure, you know, there was an in there.

SINOPEC, you know, has worked with the Bidens. Hunter Biden cofounded the private equity firm BHR Partners. And BHR acquired $1.7 billion stake in SINOPEC. So that -- that's -- you know, now, Biden took -- Hunter took a minority stake in BHR. He's only got a 10 percent stake through -- through an LLC that he owns. Very complex. It's hard to follow. It's almost like it's intentionally built that way. And, you know, he said that he was going to sell that. Of course, there's no record of him doing that at all. And nobody would even ask him the question.

But I didn't realize, when Joe said, he was going to help Americans. He specifically meant with the last name Biden.

Had no idea that that's -- I thought it was like everybody, you know.

But we find out now, no.

A million gallons, went to China. And as if that's not bad enough, it was to a company that is at 10 percent. Is owned, you know, by Hunter.

So...

That's good. By the way --

STU: It's an interesting definition of good, you have working there. I didn't feel it was good. To be fair, you did say it was a million barrels. And it was only 950,000. And that -- I think the American people would be fine with that.

GLENN: Fake news. Fake news.

Here's why I'm not concerned about it. Apparently, not everything was a disaster, when I -- when I went on vacation. The Biden administration, has announced, it has created a new position, to tackle corruption, head-on.

And not domestic corruption.

We're talking about international corruption.

Which is great. Because I think we're the ones to preach to the world, against corruption. Don't. I mean seriously.

So, anyway, they're battling internationals corruption. And Joe Biden is the guy to do it. Sidelines, I mean, when he was vice president. He was in charge with Ukraine policy. And he bragged about the arm twisting he did there. To root out corruption. Of course, it was to root out the guy who wanted to investigate his son in corruption. That's just -- he didn't know that, I'm sure. So he's looking into international corruption. And I'm thinking, while I was on vacation, I was thinking, you know, Russia, China, Iran. How will we wrangle them into submission?

And I didn't see it coming. You know, corruption czar.

And one that has some real experience. Now, Richard Nephew is the guy who was put in charge.

And it's really ironic, that a guy named nephew, is being appointed by Joe Biden, you know, in an anticorruption position. But his name is Richard Nephew. And he's heading up the international anticorruption efforts.

Now, why would you pick him? Why would you have -- well, he was working on the special envoy to Iran, during the Obama administration, and he served as the nuclear arms and sanctions expert on the team that negotiated the Iranian nuclear deal. You know, the deal that ended up, with us flying pallets of $400 million in cash, and leaving it in the middle of the airport, in the middle of the night in Tehran.

He was the guy who got that deal. So he knows a little something about corruption, I'm thinking.

And it's good. It's good. World, you've been put on notice. The anticorruption league, is coming.

And, you know, if you're not greasing some of the skids, they might -- they might have a thing or two to say to you and to the rest of the world.

Our sponsor this half-hour, look at this, I'm an hour in, and I'm already just too sarcastic. American Financing.

From all over the country, fears of a recession have moved from the worry stage to the reality stage. Really?

As everything continues to decline. Inflation rate is at its highest in 40 years. You have to ask yourself, gee. What do I do?

Am I doing enough? May I suggest, if you have a home, take ten minutes today, and learn about debt consolidation options. That could help save you a significant amount on interest alone.

If you were paying close to 20 percent right now, and you may be paying over 20 percent on your credit cards. You are paying four times more than you should be. All of this cash can be used to pay down the debts. It can be used to give you a bridge.

It can be used for many, many different things. But please, be responsible with your cash. It's American Financing. 800-906-2440. 800-906-2440. Or AmericanFinancing.net.

GLENN: So here's some good news: This is from Reuters. Stu, how much -- how much was oil when it collapsed the economy in 2008?

STU: $140 a barrel.

GLENN: $140 a barrel. Now, that is because, we as a country, are not equipped to pay that much for a barrel of oil.

Our entire economy runs on -- it's optimum under $100 a barrel. So anything over $100, sustained, is not good.

140 is really our breaking point. Or it was in 2008. But now with inflation, you know, adjusted dollars, I'm sure that's $250 a barrel. Now, here's the good news from Reuters.

They're saying that oil could go up to $380 a barrel. Because Russia is now thinking about slashing 5 million-dollar -- 5 million barrels a day. In retaliation for the price cap, that the West has -- has put on there.

So now, you've got -- you've got Germany. And everybody else. Freaking out, a little bit. A little bit.

But not us. We're just plowing right through -- $380 a barrel. Can you imagine how much money this country could make, right now, if we just became the world's supplier of oil and natural gas?

We would -- we could solve so many problems, right now. But we won't. We won't. Because gas and oil is a really bad thing.

Really? Seemed to do a lot of really good things in the past. And now that we're struggling with it again, and there's a shortage. It seems they're doing really bad things, doesn't it?

STU: Well, you're ignoring the change. It's a massive change. Over the amount of climate deaths over the past 100 years. It's been an incredible --

GLENN: Really. Tell me. Tell me the stats on those climate deaths.

STU: Well, there has been a large change. I don't think you would deny that.

GLENN: Well, I haven't heard of the stats. So I know you're a stat guy. So what are the stats of climate?

STU: Global climate-related deaths are down 98 percent over that time. But just the 98 percent. If it wasn't for oil and gas, okay. And their emissions, it maybe would have been 99 percent, you know.

GLENN: But -- but wait. But wait a minute.

STU: So that's --

GLENN: So you do have stats. And it -- the climate deaths are down by almost 100 percent?

STU: Almost. Not all -- there are still climate deaths though. It has not been 100 percent.

GLENN: Right.

STU: And a lot of people might say, well, wait a minute. Isn't that entire improvement having to do with fossil fuels, and how society has improved over the past 100 years? And, sure, you could make that point. But they haven't completely eliminated climate-related deaths. Why not? You know.

GLENN: I -- you know why?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Inequality.

STU: Thank you. Inequality. You know, there's a big climate related report due out soon. We were talking about this, this week. What's the point of the climate situation?

What's the point of it, right? The point of it is, do people die from climate?

That's the real bottom line number. And if I were to give you two publications, which one has shown, the statistics backing up the 98 percent drop in climate-related deaths. Isn't, number one, the UNIPCC report about the climate.

Have they ever reported that? Or the number two option: Glenn Beck's an inconvenient book. Which one?

GLENN: I would say -- I would say, it's Glenn Beck's Inconvenient Book.

STU: You are correct. For some reason, the guy who doesn't care about climate at all, is the one reporting the near 100 percent drop in climate-related deaths, while the UN IPCC doesn't include that graph in any of their reports.

GLENN: And it's interesting that they are talking about climate-related deaths. But they're going to start talking about that. You're going to hear a lot of that, beginning this fall, when we have starvation, beginning to set in, all over the world.

We are still living off of last year's harvest. This year's harvest is just starting to be canned. And sent out.

So everything that you have, on your shelf, or on your supermarket.

Most of it is last year's wheat. Last year's fruit or vegetables. Now we're going to start to see the problem. And it's going to start rearing its ugly head all around the world, very soon. And when it does. They're going to say, this is because of climate problems.

STU: I think you're right. They are.

GLENN: They absolutely are going to. Now the farmers are going to understand, that they need to grow food, without all these petrochemicals. And, you know, it only makes it more urgent, that we double down on this, right now. It's a war.

STU: And as you pointed out, at the beginning of the program. Sri Lanka went that route, and did wonderfully well with it. In fact, they were able to move a bunch -- thousands of citizens into their presidential palace, as a result of that move.

Which is great for equality.

GLENN: Right. So if you want the less New York Times version of that, the government was overthrown over the weekend.

But climate change, climate change. Climate change. Climate change.

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.
