Glenn Beck’s POWERFUL message to Democrats after Trump’s win

Donald Trump's 2024 victory has taken many on the left by shock. How could the majority of Americans support a fascist, racist, xenophobic felon who promised to be a dictator "on day one"? Well, maybe that's not what they support. Glenn reviews 2 New York Times op-eds that are perfect examples of what the legacy media has convinced half the country to believe about Trump and his supporters. Then, he explains what Trump supporters actually believe, and it couldn't be any more different.

GLENN: So one of the op-eds in the New York Times today is Trump's America.

His comeback victory signals a different kind of country.

From the New York Times.

In her closing rally on the ellipse last week. Kamala Harris scorned Donald J. Trump as an outlier who didn't represent America.

That's not who we are, she declared.

In fact, it turns out, that may be exactly who we are. At least most of us. The assumption that Mr. Trump represented an anomaly, who would at last be consigned to the ash heap of history was washed away Tuesday night by a red current that swept through the battleground states. And swept away the understanding of America, long nurtured by its ruling elite of both parties.

No longer can the political establishment write off Mr. Trump as a temporary break from the long march of progress.

Populist disenchantment with the nation's direction and resentment against elites proved to be deeper and more profound than many in both parties had recognized.

While tens of millions of voters still cast their ballot against Mr. Trump, he once again tapped into a sense among many others, that the country they knew was slipping away, under siege economically, culturally and demographically.

To counter that, those voters ratified the return of a brash 78-year-old champion willing to upend convention and take radical action, even if it offends the sensibilities or violates old standards.

Any misgivings about their chosen leader was shoved to the side. As a result for the first time in history, Americans have elected a convicted criminal as president. They handed power back to a leader who tried to overturn a previous election, called for the termination of the Constitution, and aspired to be a dictator on day one, and vowed to exact retribution against his adversaries. To Mr. Trump's allies the election vindicates his argument that Washington has grown out of touch.

And America is a country weary from overseas wars. The Trump presidency speaks to the depth of marginalization felt by those who believe they have been the cultural wilderness for too long, and their faith in this one person who has given voice to their frustration and his ability to center them in American life.

Rather than be turned off by Trump's flagrant, anger-based appeal. Along the lines of race, gender, religion, national origin. Especially transgender ideology.

Many Americans found them bracing. Rather than be offended by his brazen lies or wild conspiracy theories, many found him authentic. Rather than dismiss him as a felon, found by various courts to be a fraudster, cheater, sexual abuser, and defamer, many embraced his assertion that he's been the victim of persecution.

This election, quoting, was a CAT scan on the American people. And as difficult as it is to say, as hard as it is to name.

What it revealed, at least in part, is a frightening affinity for borderless corruption.

That is from the former strategic adviser to president George W. Bush.

The fact that Trump was able to bounce back from so many legal and political defeats over the four years, anyone which would have been enough to wreck the career of any other politician was a testament to his remarkable resilience and defiance.

But it also was owed in part to the failures of President Biden and Ms. Harris. Then they go on for two paragraphs about, oh, boy.

They were bad.

But then they're right back into Donald Trump.

The coalition that elected them, wanted them to unite the country.

And they failed to do so. And their failure resulted in further disillusionment with our country's politics and empowered the Trump base.

Trump has been conditioning Americans throughout this campaign, to see American democracy, as a failed experiment. Said historian and author of Strong Man. Let me say that again. Trump has been conditioning Americans throughout this campaign, to see American democracy as a failed experiment.

No. I've never heard him say that. I've never heard anybody that supports him say that.

A victory for Trump would mean that this vision of America, and the recourse to violence as a means of solving political problems, has triumphed. She continued.

Talking to Mr. Short. Whoever Mr. Short is.

Predicted another four years of chaos and uncertainty.

I would anticipate a lot of volatility. Personnel, but also significant boomerangs on policy.

Not boomerangs from Biden/Harris. But boomerangs from himself. You'll have one position one day. And another position the next.

Okay. So they go on, and they really, truly do not understand what's happened.

Now, this is self-imposed ignorance.

Because it's really not that hard to figure out. And I do believe it comes from a misunderstanding of what our country is.

They're looking at our country, the way Woodrow Wilson defined it.

And that is, an administrative state. What is in the American soul is something entirely different.

GLENN: All right. So who are we?

What is it that we fight for? We see America more in the tradition of the Founding Fathers.

Now, I know if you're somebody on the left, if you're somebody, especially, you know, in the elite government. Or, you know, somebody who went to Harvard. You might roll your eyes at this.

Because you think this is all trite. But many Americans believe this. We believe that the American spirit is a force that inspires teams.

It also has fueled revolutions.

It's also driven some of the greatest innovations and achievements the world has ever seen.

We believe that. We believe in the American individual.

Now, you might say that you do. But I don't think you do. Because you want somebody to tell all of the individuals, exactly what they must believe, what they must live. What they must eat.

What they must drive. What they must teach their children.

We don't believe that. We don't believe that. And it's not just for us. It is for people who want to live a transgendered life.

I don't care if you want to live a transgendered life.

I feel to you for you.

I do. I feel for you. I feel your pain. The pain that you must have gone through, your whole life.

I don't want you to go through that pain. But don't force me and my family to lie about science because you feel bad.

You might feel horrible. I know I did as an alcoholic. As somebody who has -- who actually considered suicide, I know what feeling bad feels like.

But only the truth will set you free. I can't -- I can't further the lie. Because it only will hurt more people.

Now, the American spirit, this is what brought settlers across the oceans. Across rugged mountains, that nobody thought.

They risked life and limb, just to get away from the big European state. That told them, you'll never make it.

You can't do it. Your family is worthless. Insular have the right credentials.

They crossed oceans to get away from that. To put that into perspective, that is almost like going to the moon today.

These were people who were like, screw it, man!

This is the spirit that took on the tyrants and the empires. That declared that there were such thing as free men and free women.

And distant rulers and aristocrats. And those in the black robes.

They don't determine our destiny. We do!

And it's something that transcends race and religion or class.

You know why a lot of people -- a lot of people, that you say are racist, I know racism exists. But not the way you think it does!

You think we're all born racist. I -- I don't believe that!

You have to be taught how to hate. You have to be taught how to hate the other side.

Many of us believe, that is what you're teaching, with antiracism. Only racism you believe, can stop racism.

So I have to be taught to hate, to stop hate!

It doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense.

We're just looking for common sense. We're looking for science!

And reason. To be fixed firmly in her seat.

When we say, we believe that America is exceptional. Why do you think we say that?

Because we're arrogant?

Because we're white. Because what?

Because we believe in God! It's none of that.

What makes us exceptional is this American spirit. It's not chance. It's not entitlement.

It's through toil and courage and vision. Of ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.

That's what makes us exceptional! We are exceptional because the rest of the world has been told, shut up, and sit down!

You cannot do that. What makes us exceptional is that we say, who are you to tell me that?

You don't control my life. You don't control my vision.

You don't control my every movement.

I believe we can do extraordinary things.

That's why every -- why every American should embrace Elon Musk.

And every American did embrace, at least the spirit of Elon Musk, until politics were introduced. I wasn't against Elon Musk in his cars, and everything else. When he was, quote, on the other side. I don't think he's changed. He still believes all that stuff about global warming that I don't believe.

But I didn't wish him ill. I didn't want him deported. I didn't want him shut up. I didn't want to destroy his company.

I rooted for him to go to Mars. I still root for him to go to Mars. You know why? Because that's an ordinary person, who has an extraordinary vision, who can articulate that vision and execute it. I want man to win!

Our Founders knew, that governments left unchecked, would accumulate power, at the expense of the individual.

We have been on this road, that you and the New York Times may say, is traditional.

You may say, it's -- it's accepted, it's the way we are.

Well, but that is a perversion. We switched train tracks about 1916.

We developed this new idea. That man cannot rule himself.

This is actually an ancient idea. But it was new in America. Man cannot rule himself!

Man has to have an overseer. A government. Somebody in the government. Somebody preferably not elected.

Just a faceless bureaucrat. That could nudge people, the right way.

We don't want to be nudged. We're much more direct than that. You don't understand who Americans are. We are frank and blunt.

We're polite. We don't want to argue about politics. We don't want to argue about sex.

We don't want to argue about religion. We don't want to argue about any of that stuff.

So we're polite in polite company. Most of us were taught, you don't talk about those things. Why?

Because it deepens the division.

Just, you be you, boo. I'll be me. But we can't -- we can't have those conversations anymore.

And we need to. Because that's who we are. I'll fight for your right to be whoever it is you think you are.

Oh, you're a marshmallow. A unicorn, that turns into marshmallows at night. Okay. Hey, she's not a marshmallow. That's right.

She's not. But she has a right to believe that. She wants to say that. She has every right. Shut up. Sit down.

But you want me to say, no, she is a unicorn that turns into a marshmallow at night. No! No!

I'll fight for your right to say what you believe.

But I'm also going to fight for everybody else's right including mine, to say you're wrong.

This system of government that started with Woodrow Wilson is ancient. We call it progressivism now. But it was -- it was the tool of the tyrants, going all the way back, I'm sure to cavemen.

This government has become corrupt!

Corrupt. We should all be on the same side!

If Donald Trump was taking money from China, and he was enriching his children, because they were meeting with the Chinese, and then trying to influence him, I would want them to go to jail!

Because I don't want corruption! You don't take foreign money, on the down low!

I think we're being consistent.

But you don't because you fundamentally misunderstand.

You keep quoting the Constitution. But I don't think you understand the Constitution. This is a framework, that is designed to empower people, and restrict the government.

You interpret the Constitution, as something that empowers the government, and restricts the people.

Only one of us can be right. And if you actually read the document, you'll know which one is true!

That's what leads us back to American exceptionalism.

All right. More in a second.

I just -- I feel like, we need to explain, to the left. In a very clear way. In a very kind way.

I'm trying to be kind.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what we want. We don't want to control your life.

We have no desire to be in your bedroom. We have no desire, nor will we round groups of people up.

That's what progressives did, with FDR.

Not constitutional conservatives!

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.
