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.
