What’s REALLY inside Democrats' HUGE climate/inflation bill

By now, most Americans know the Democrats’ ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ bill will not ACTUALLY reduce inflation or miraculously end climate change. But you may not be aware of several, specific clauses — HIDDEN deep inside the bill’s 700+ pages — that exist simply to benefit the Democrat Party (like huge payouts to special interest groups that helped Joe Biden win the White House, for example). Economist Stephen Moore, Co-founder of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, joins Glenn to detail what he found hidden inside this HUGE bill…

GLENN: Stephen, tell me what you found, that was hidden in this bill.

STEPHEN: Well, how much time you have, Glenn?
(laughter)
This is something like 800 pages. But I don't even kind of know where to start. But the --

GLENN: Can we start with this: Did you find on page, like, 683.

We found the EPA is now authorized, has the money and the teeth to create their own ESG framework for farmers. Did you see that?

STEPHEN: Yeah. Yeah.

I did, and I'll give you another one, that I think is outrageous. We found that, for example, they have $3 billion for something called environmental justice grants. You heard about that. Now, I'll tell you what that is. It's just a payoff to all the liberal special interest groups. All the -- you know, the groups that made Joe Biden's -- this is graft. This is graft. It's basically paying the people who elected Biden money. And the whole bill is graft. All it does is give money to all the groups that gave Joe Biden money. And I'll give you an example of that.

They have 87,000 new IRS agents. Twenty to $30 billion more they're going to spend in doubling the size of the IRS.

Do you know the IRS employees have a PAC, a Political Action Committee.

Do you know where -- which party, 99 percent of that money goes to?

GLENN: Yeah.
(laughter)

STEPHEN: The Democrats. Then let's get this right. The Democrats will have $40 billion to the IRS to hire 87,000 more agents.

Those 87,000 more agents are going to give money to the Political Action Committee of the employees, and the employees will give the money back to the -- to the -- to the Democrats, who -- who -- who gave the money in the first place. This is like a third world country we're turning into.

GLENN: I know. I know.

You know, it really bothers me as well, Stephen, that they've made it a pull of government action, to sign up new voters. And register new voters. So every agency is now doing it. And with the flood of money, that is coming into these agencies. You know, I don't know what's real and what's not anymore. Because we don't -- nobody is following it.

STEPHEN: Yeah. So you asked me about some other read crazy stuff in this bill. They wanted to give all this money for the electric battery industry, so everybody could go out and buy electric cars. By the way, if you have a car that runs on gasoline.

You might want to hold on to that. Because I'm not making this up. My prediction within 5 to 10 years, they're going to abolish any new cars that are gas powered.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

STEPHEN: They're going to make -- you're not going to have any choice. You're going to have to buy an electric vehicle, whether you want to or not. And, by the way, do you know what percentage of new car sales, in the last three months were electric vehicles? What percentage. 5 percent.

So 95 percent of the people, want and are buying, are not electric vehicles. I don't have anything against electric vengeance. But I don't want the government telling me, I have to buy one.

GLENN: Right. And I also would like to see the plan. I've talked to energy people, and they're like, you put the entire fleet on electricity. We're out. We're out. Okay. Hang on. Hang on. Stephen Moore is with us. We're going to continue our conversation here in just a second. Stand by for more.
(music)
If -- if we have time, to get to this, with Stephen, I would love to talk to him, and hear his thoughts on the new economic system. That the brick condition. Or countries are putting together. China, Russia, all of them. Brazil. And they are challenging the U.S. dollar. It is coming. You know, I know you might have money in the bank. But if the currency continues to deflate. I don't care if you're Warren Buffett. If your currency. If you have it all in dollars. As it inflates. And we have a challenge. And our reserve currency status goes away. It's paper. That's all it is.

Goldline is giving away 20 of the new 1 ounce Ben Franklin copper rounds. With every gold legal tender bar card purchased. It is a huge number of rounds. It will be included free of charge. The bars always sell out. Don't wait. Ask about the special.

Call Goldline right now. It is so important that you take some of your money and -- and hedge against insanity. It's not just inflation anymore. It's insanity. Goldline. 866GOLDLINE. 866GOLDLINE.

STU: BlazeTV.com/Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. We're back with more of where your trillions of dollars are going, next.
(OUT AT 10:28AM)

GLENN: All right. We're talking to Stephen Moore, who has gone through the inflation reduction act. Which, can we stop with this?

If it's named the, oh, sweet little puppy did you guys want to give you a hug act, you know it's riddled with bad things. Okay?

Let's go to Stephen Moore, who has been going through this, and you found a few things that maybe we should have paid attention to, or at least read before we signed the bill and voted for it.

STEPHEN: By the way, let me just confess, I tried to make it through the whole bill. It's something like 800 pages.

GLENN: Gee.

STEPHEN: So I'm not all the way through it. But I want to make a point here. Glenn, seriously, how many members of Congress do you think read this bill?

GLENN: None. Yeah.

STEPHEN: Zero. They had no idea what's in it. It's some way to run a country, isn't it? Where you're taxing and spending $700 billion more money, and none of them have any idea what's in the bill.

GLENN: I talked to members of Congress and the Senate, all the time. And they tell me. There are only four people, that run the place up there.

And it's McCarthy, Pelosi, Schumer, and McConnell. And they get together, and they make all of it. And they say, this is what you're doing. And they put it out, and you don't even get a chance to read it.

STEPHEN: It's worse than that, Glenn. Because the truth is that McCarthy, McConnell, Pelosi. They don't even know what is in this bill. In other words, they didn't write the bill. This is written by some 24-year-old, you know, graduate of, you know, Wesleyan college, who is a left-winger. How do you think this stuff gets in the bill?

GLENN: Well, I would like to know which organizations actually did the bulk of work on it. Because like, the health care bill you remember. I mean, it was not written by anybody actually in the government. When they --

STEPHEN: Exactly.

GLENN: If God forbid, they actually pass regulation on these social media companies, it will all be written by them. It will be.

STEPHEN: Yeah. Yeah. These lobbyists virtually are writing the bills. That's how bad it is.

No. You asked me, what some other stuff in here, that's outrageous. So this is more kind of humorous. So they had this bill -- you know, the bill. It's giving all this money for electric batteries and Tesla. And all the electric cars. But the problem is, of course, that guess where those batteries are made.

GLENN: China.

STEPHEN: China. So then they realize, whoops, we have a problem here. This is a big subsidy program to China. So then they realized, okay. We'll not let you get the subsidies if they were made in China. Then they found that 85 percent of the cars aren't eligible --

GLENN: Right. I think it was the auto industry.

They knew about this. It's weird. The American people didn't know about it. But the auto industry knew about it, and they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't do that.

STEPHEN: So without China, we have these cars. Right? And, look, it's lunacy.

We have more coal. We have more oil. More gas, than any other country in the world. You know, and natural gas, by the way, is reducing pollution levels.

And so this bill constricts the amount of energy we can -- and don't believe for one minute, this line that this is going to increase our -- you know, our production of oil, gas, and coal. Do you think any of those permits are ever going to get permitted?

GLENN: No.

STEPHEN: Zero. I mean, the Democrats have already said that.

GLENN: Can you take that on, in any way that relates to this bill, if you can.

You know, people actually believe that it's the oil companies, that aren't doing it. And, you know, we've already talked about ESG, and how that funding has dried up for exploration.

But the government -- is this bill actually opening anything, or is it -- is it designed to hurt the oil and gas industry?

STEPHEN: Well, I mean, just asking the question, answers it, right? This is a president, the one promise that he made, that he's kept, is that remember, when he said, we're having this debate against Trump. I mean to close down the oil and gas industry. And that's exactly what he is doing.

We have a new study out, by my friend Casey mull the ban, who is one of the top economists in the country. University of Chicago. We estimated we would be producing 3 million more barrels a day. A day, if Trump were still president. And we have the laws in place, that we did then. And think about that.

One hundred million -- $100 a barrel. Math is pretty easy here, Glenn. One hundred dollars, times 300. Three million.

That's 300 million dollars a day. A day, the country is losing. Because these lunatics, energy policy.

That's over 100 billion dollars a year, this is costing us.

And I'm sorry, folks. Anyone who actually believes for one minute, that you can run a 23 trillion-dollar economy, that makes cars and steel and manufacture products. And construction products. And the technology industry.

You're going to run that on windmills? It is -- it is -- it is so preposterous.

GLENN: Here's the thing. The reason why we really change the world, and also had that moment in America, after the war. Was because, we had three things. We had -- we had all of the riches of the earth, in -- in here. And we were using them.

We had cheap energy. Not just energy. But cheap energy.

STEPHEN: Yes.

GLENN: And we had educated cheaper labor. Well, the unions got rid of the labor. The education got rid of the other half. The brain power of labor.

STEPHEN: Yep. Yep.

GLENN: We no longer have cheap energy. In fact, we'll have no energy. And we will not take any mineral out of the ground. You got nothing left.

STEPHEN: And, by the way, if -- and you're exactly right about that. We have more mineral resources. This country was incredibly endowed by God with amazing resources. No other country in the world has --

GLENN: White Christian nationalism.

STEPHEN: Yeah. It's like -- it's like there's a 60 trillion-dollar treasury chest, under this country. And the left is saying, don't. Don't dig it up. Don't dig it up.

And -- and that's insanity. And, by the way, how are you going to -- here's the other thing. These people are so stupid. Or else mendacious. How are you going to get the batteries, and all of the -- the -- the solar panels, and the wind turbines, if you don't have these pretty sure metals?

GLENN: Flying monkeys.

STEPHEN: I mean -- really. I mean, my mind is spinning. I want to pull my hair out of the stupidity of these policies. And I'm going to warn people. We are going to have brownouts and blackouts around this country in the next two or three years. If these insane energy policies go forward. No doubt about it, in my mind.

GLENN: I think you're going to see people start to freeze to death in America. In possibly this winter. Just because they won't be able to afford the energy prices.

STEPHEN: And, by the way, just so people don't think you're exaggerating. Did you see the story of what happened in Spain this week?

GLENN: No. Oh, about 80 degrees.

STEPHEN: Yeah. They want to set -- they want to make it illegal, in Spain, because they have a heat wave going on in Europe. To set the temperature of your air conditioner, at less than 80 degrees. 80 degrees.

And, by the way, if we have the same on energy. On electricity, how are we going to power all these electric vehicles?

GLENN: Yeah. So let me ask you this, Stephen. With what we did with Russia. Could we have avoided -- if -- if Trump were still in, and none of this with Russia would have happened. But if this exact situation was happening. But we kept the same energy policies, as Trump had. Would we -- would Europe be in the trouble that it's in today?

STEPHEN: No. But Europe deserves a lot of the blame for itself. It was Donald Trump, remember, a few years ago. Who waved his finger at -- by the way, one of the most overrated people in the last 100 years, is Angela Merkel. She destroyed Germany. She was TIME magazine's person of the year, five years ago.

And Germany is a complete mess right now, and talk about worshiping false gods. And so you're right. Europe fell into this trap of saying, oh, we're going to go with green energy. And then we'll get our natural gas from Russia.

Russia now -- just as Trump predicted. The -- the western Europeans are now dependent on Russia. And Putin for energy. We should be -- we should be exporting our massive amounts of -- of natural gas. To Europe. They should be dependent on the United States. Not Russia. But that's a decision they made. But now we can't export it. Because we can't produce it here in America right now.

GLENN: I'll tell you, what's really frightening and immoral. Besides all of the out of control government that we're having right now. That we're not living our own laws, Constitution, that the American people are being called terrorists now. Beyond all that. The -- the most immoral thing I have seen our country do since the civil rights era, is -- is clampdown on our farmers. Tell our farmers not to grow. Tell our farmers exactly how they need to farm. Take await fertilizer, which will cut our crop yield about 30 percent. Plus, all of the things that we're doing with energy, right now.

The people that will freeze to death, and starve. All around the world. Because the United States is taking this path, all of the people, that we could save from death, starvation, heat, cold, all of that. It is immoral! Because we're the ones that always come in and rescue people. The world has no one to rescue -- rescue them from this. No one.

GABRIEL: It is immoral. It is immoral. And they add to that. For our State Department. And John Kerry, who is the second dumbest person on the planet. To go around to these Third World countries where they don't -- where they literally don't have, you know, electric power. And the women have to still, you know, go a mile. And carry the jugs of water. You know, back to their village. Then we go to these -- and our State Department is saying, don't build coal plants here. They don't have electric power. They don't have clean water.

You should be worrying about climate change. I mean, climate change is something that people, country clubs in America, who make million dollar salaries worry about.

People in Third World countries, who live day to day in deprivation. You want to help people around the world. Let's get them clean water and secure forms of energy. That will move people out of -- and we're not doing that.

GLENN: I'll tell you, Stephen, I think these guys are Malthusian.

STEPHEN: Yeah.

GLENN: Every death that happens, reduces what they believe is the surplus population.

And -- and helps also, you know, clean the air. You know, we would be much better off, if we didn't have all these people.

And it's an unspoken thing, for -- for most.

But there are those who actually speak those words. And it is -- it's evil, what is happening. It's just evil. Stephen, thank you so much for all your work. And I don't know why we don't have you on more. I really enjoy talking to you. Good talking to you.

STEPHEN: Good talking with you, Glenn.

GLENN: You bet. Buh-bye.

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.
