The BIGGEST PROBLEM with Jill Biden’s tap dancing Christmas video

Internet users roasted First Lady Jill Biden's 2023 White House Christmas video for a variety of reasons. But Glenn's biggest problem with the video wasn't its style, production quality, or tackiness. Instead, he wants to know: HOW MUCH did this cost American taxpayers?! Glenn also reviews the radical antiracist (read: "racist") views of the founder of Dorrance Dance: "THIS is who Jill Biden chose to tap dance at the White House? Oh my gosh!"

GLENN: Hi, Stu.

STU: Glenn, how are you?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. I am great! Especially since I saw the tap dancing, you know -- tap dancing, I don't even know.

STU: So you liked it.

GLENN: I liked it.

STU: So it's right up your ally. I for one, think Broadway generally sucks.

So I have no interest in the art form. Don't really get it. So to me, right off the bat, it's not interesting. But you love this stuff.

GLENN: I do love this stuff, I do. I don't like it at the White House. I would like to know: What did that video cost us?

Okay. The White House sent out Jill Biden did, a really creepy nutcracker video. If you happen to be watching Blaze TV. I will play a little bit over here.

But my problem with this, is not what I think everybody else's problem is.

STU: I think it's an interesting question. What is the problem with this video.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

Is it?

Oh, I've got one. Being on. So now a guy dressed as a flower comes out. Somebody else dressed as a rat, just in masks. And a girl is tap dancing. A black girl is tap dancing down the halls of the White House.

Here comes another black girl. He's also tap dancing. Now she's at the Christmas tree. Oh, my gosh! Look at. Look at.

Then you have Russian soldiers. Black Russian soldiers, I might.

STU: Black Russian soldiers. Is that what that is?

GLENN: Yeah. It's the nutcracker. It's the nutcracker. So they're dancing. Federal reserve.

Here's the thing. I would like to know. No, please keep this up. Because this is a very important thing. A, I would like to know how much did this cost the American people? Not impossible.

STU: I kind of doubt it though.

I would like to know.

GLENN: Maybe China. Maybe China helped to do that.

Okay.

I had a problem with this, because I wondered how much it would cost. And you look up, who did this?

And it's a Manhattan-based company. Now, Dorrance Dances, well, they're not exactly apolitical.

STU: No?

GLENN: No, they're. No, they're not.

STU: Are you sure?

GLENN: Oh, I'm positive.

Okay. Michelle Dorrance is the company's founder. And on their website, she says, I'm a white tap dancer with black cultural ancestors.

Now, I don't know what black cultural ancestors are.

I know what black ancestors are. Is it the same as a black cultural ancestor?

I don't know.

I'm a white tap dancer with black cultural ancestors in a society that privileges white people and whiteness.

Then she goes on to write a note on why anti-racism work is important to me.

I am easy for white audiences wanting to access and experience elements of black culture to swallow.

My whiteness is the reason you may have heard of me, before my two inspirations.

No, I've never heard of you. Okay? And neither has most Americans. Calm down, chickee.

It's imperative to me, and those who look like me to acknowledge that.

It is imperative to fight against racist norms that have defined American culture since our very origin. Amen, sister!

So what she wants to do is to make sure that the racial stereotypes, that they are overturned. And that's why, she's put together a video of black people tap dancing!

I mean, the only thing you didn't do was, holy smokes, I guess they're in the White House.

What are you thinking?

STU: I believe people of all races are allowed to dance.

GLENN: I know that. I've said that for a very long time.

STU: You have. Yes.

GLENN: I don't think tap dance is racist, but the antiracists do.

STU: Probably so.

GLENN: You're having a black person dance, what does that mean? I don't know.

He's good at tap dancing.

STU: Certainly, if Donald Trump had made a video like this, which he wouldn't have. But if he did, they would definitely accuse him of furthering racial stereotypes.

GLENN: So, anyway, the website goes on. It has a comprehensive antiracism section.

Dorrance Dance's website includes links to numerous far left organizations such as Black Lives Matter and Incite, Women of Color Against Violence. And the latter group, trumpets the anti-Semitic slogan, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, on its website.

They encourage visitors to get involved in abolition work.

Now, I am for -- are you an abolitionist?

STU: Yes.

GLENN: Yes.

Okay. I'm an abolitionist.

STU: I mean, there's an amendment to the Constitution, that largely took care of that problem.

GLENN: Slavery is still a problem.

STU: You talk about it. Certainly, when it comes to sexual slavery, and things like that.

GLENN: And also just flatout slavery. I'm an abolitionist.

STU: Absolutely.

GLENN: How do I become an abolitionist. Oh, I left out a word. Get involved in abolition work. What is prison abolition. How do I become a police abolitionist?

Okay. This is who Jill Biden chose to tap dance at the White House.

Oh, my gosh. It seems a little racist.

And then you read, oh, no. It's even more racist, than you initially thought.

Prison abolition movement considers immigrant detention centers, city and county jails, and count -- state and county jails, and state and federal prisons. Social evils that must be eradicated. Amen. I have been saying that forever.

Why lock anyone up?

There's no reason for anybody to ever be locked up.

STU: No human is illegal, Glenn!

GLENN: Amen, brother.

So she's also, you know, backing defund the police. New York, San Diego, Minneapolis, Dallas.

And there are links to several petitions, including defund and redistribute NYPD funding, by 500 million.

So they only want half a billion dollars, to be taken from the police. And then given to -- I don't know who -- I mean, it's fine for.

Another petition, demands that Gretchen Whitmer and Senator Bernie Sanders and the Justice Department free every black person incarcerated on marijuana-related charges.

Now, I don't know why you wouldn't let all the white people out too.

Or the Asians. Or the Hispanics.

I mean, why? What?

STU: Choose the bi skin color. That's the lesson we learned, from our mistakes of the past. Make sure you choose people by skin color.

GLENN: Right.

Now, she also has the tapdancing happy section of the site. Educate yourself, which has the New York Times 1619 Project.

STU: Of course it does.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And then she promotes white fragility. Why it's so hard for white people to talk about racism. I don't know, because I keep hearing black tapdancers. You know, I don't know.

Would you like to throw some fried chicken or some watermelon in the scene too?

I'm not really sure.

I mean, you couldn't be more stereotypical of what people say is racist.

I don't think tap dancing is racist.

But everybody that's antiracist always was, oh, you're going to have them tap dancing, are you?

No. It just calls for a tap dancing section.

And this is the best person I could find.

It could be a white person. It could be a black person. It could be an Asian person.

I don't know. It doesn't matter to me.
But it certainly matters to you. But let's talk about intersectionality. Okay?

STU: I know what's on your mind.

Yes, intersectionality.

GLENN: Okay. We have to make sure that the people -- the people who have been oppressed, and stereotyped, we need to make sure, we don't stereotype them.

Like I am so sick and tired of hearing that effeminate men who are dancers on Broadway, are just dressed up as flowers, and dancing around.

And so what does she do?

She dresses an effeminate man dress up as a flower. And has her dancing around.

Oh, my gosh. I don't know.

STU: So is this is your problem with this?

GLENN: No. My biggest problem is, how much did we pay for this?

I want to know.

Because the money is going, I can guarantee you, to expand this poison in our society.

You know, from the river to the sea. Whatever.

STU: Yeah. Because that's the one I came back to as well.

People were asking. Well, what's -- what's the problem with this?

Basically, they're just asking, hey, what's the -- hey.

It's their way of wishing us a happy holiday.

Tave Marcus said this.

Good guy.

Good conservative.

And he said, you know, I don't know. Are we getting too offended over everything.

It's a bunch of people wishing us happy holiday.

There's something to that.

We can be oversensitive on this stuff.

GLENN: I have --

STU: The cost is where I came back to. That looked like it cost a lot of money.

GLENN: A lot of money.

STU: Maybe it didn't. Maybe it didn't.

GLENN: Really?

STU: I think the government is very efficient.

GLENN: Yeah. No. They had -- they had the military come in and stage that.

STU: I'm sure it was shot on an i Phone. No pros --

GLENN: This is unbelievable. Unbelievable.

I have no problem with them doing this. I have no problem with the way it looks. I didn't think of racism. I didn't think of anything.

All I thought of at first was, what did this cost us? And then I started looking into it. And then I see who is doing it.

And I'm like, oh, so we're also funneling money to antiracist propaganda, to racist people.

And she wants to make sure the stereotypes are broken. And so she has black people tap dancing!

I can't take it.

STU: I don't want my government using resources for this.

If you really want a stretch, right?

The very last second of this video, is a text screen, that says happy holidays or something.

That's about as much as I want from you.

I don't even need that. I don't need you to wish me happy holidays at all.

GLENN: Send a Christmas card.

STU: Right. I just -- you want to put some text on a tweet, that's fine.

That's about as far as -- deal with things you're supposed to be dealing with.

GLENN: Right, and I have no problem with just the Christmas thing. I mean, the Obamas, remember. They just put presents everywhere, and there was no reference to Christ.

And I think they took down the White House nativity.

STU: And the Mao ornament.

GLENN: And the Mao ornament, fine. Whatever.

STU: Not fine.

GLENN: No. I was upset about it. But it's not this.

This is -- they compare it to the hunger games. And it really kind of is.

STU: It has that theater in it. It's not my preference. Not my preference.

GLENN: Yeah. So now the Boston mayor has apologized. Because Michelle Woo defended the long-standing practice of having segregated holiday parties for those elected of color.

So -- so they sent out -- an email to all of the elected representatives and said, hey, we're having a holiday party for elected of color.

And the white people were like, we're having a, what?

And she has apologized. She has apologized for accidentally sending the invite to white people.

STU: Oh. Those darn white people.

You ever notice that all of the problems go back to these white people. All the time.

It's always white people.

GLENN: Right. And I guess it makes it better.

Like the Klan. They never sent any invitations out to black people. Okay?

STU: No. No.

GLENN: Not once.

Now, they were I'm sure, at their holiday parties.

Which wasn't really a party for the black person that might have been forced into attendance.

Okay?

But we ended segregation.

We thought segregation was bad.

And her apology was not for having segregated parties. But because I let the white people know. And that made them upset.

And I'm really sorry.

And, by the way, you're in Boston. Home of Harvard.

You're Asian. You're not really a person of color. Don't you know that?

You're white.

STU: Yeah. They get the worst part of that with Harvard. They get brought to the Supreme Court. Because they were so anti-Asian at Harvard.

I mean, that's -- that's amazing.

GLENN: Okay. Now, one last story, real quick.

A Louisiana woman with three husbands.

Who practices vikism.

Allegedly held a fourth partner captive as a sex slave, forcing her to denounce her Christianity. And offer her a puppy as a ritual sacrifice to the Viking gods.

I think I'm out. I think I'm out.

Okay. Happy holidays. Good night, everybody.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And Rubio said, no.

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

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

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

And what's right for both of us.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Andrew, welcome.

ANDREW: Hey, thank you for having me on.

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

ANDREW: We filed a lawsuit against China.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They had the opportunity to be heard in court.

Had declined to do so.

Have not shown up.

I anticipate, we will get a judgment.

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

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

So what actually will happen with this?

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

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

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

GLENN: Holy cow.

Okay. This is fantastic.

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

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

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

But you're absolutely right.

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

We will remain in contact with the president.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You have Fauci.

You have EcoHealth.

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

And everything else, over to Wuhan.

How are those people held to account?

Or are they?

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

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

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

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

But can the same at all be true for Fauci?

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: That's fantastic.

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: Wow! And then the next step is?

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

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

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

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

But they've done nothing to defend themselves.

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

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

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

DOGE Reveals INSANE Things the Government Spent YOUR Tax Dollars On

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

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

Democrats are just not getting the truth.

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

They're just not getting truth.

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

The $34.5 million gift from the government to Politico!

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: That's being wasted.

GLENN: This is the tip of the iceberg.

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

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

2010!

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

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

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

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

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

It was USAID.

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

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

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

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

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

PAT: Yeah.

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

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

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

PAT: Uh-huh.

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

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

But transform digital spaces?

What? So spaces that don't actually exist?

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

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

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

PAT: Uh-huh.

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

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

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

Has money coming out their butt from the king.

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

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

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

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

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

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

PAT: Uh-huh.

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

We've got it!

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

PAT: Wow!

GLENN: $6 million for tourism in Egypt.

Well -- what?

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

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

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

Stop terrorism.

That would be a good thing.

$2.5 million to promote inclusion, in Vietnam.

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

GLENN: 16.8 million for --

PAT: For a separate group.

GLENN: For a separate group.

PAT: To promote inclusion into Vietnam.

GLENN: Wait. So there's --

PAT: You can't --

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

PAT: Yeah.

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

PAT: Oh, man.

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

PAT: Hmm.

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

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

$5 million to EcoHealth. Alliance.

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

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

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: We have a LGBTQ group in Armenia.

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

PAT: That's just so ridiculous.

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

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

GLENN: Create jobs.

$1.3 million to Arab and Jewish photographers.

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

At least show me some great black and whites?

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

1.5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem.

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

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

PAT: That ecosystem.

GLENN: That has to happen.

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

PAT: A lot.

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

PAT: Uh-huh.

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

500,000 to solve sectarian violence in Israel.

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

PAT: Jeez.

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

Do we get any of the gold?

PAT: My guess is no.

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

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

PAT: Uh-huh.

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

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

What the hell is that?

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

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

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

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: What part of this are you for?

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

GLENN: Yeah. I think we are.

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

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

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

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

PAT: Yeah.

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

PAT: Yeah.

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

Every American should be pissed off at this.

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

We're not fighting communism anymore. Okay?

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

Just overthrowing regimes?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Right now.

Government Caught Paying $34.3 Million for Politico Subscriptions?!

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

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

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

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

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

LIZ: Hi, Glenn. Thanks for having me.

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

LIZ: As they should.

GLENN: What?

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

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

He's been exposing corruption in that agency.

GLENN: It's a CIA front.

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

LIZ: That's exactly right.

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

So no better target for Elon Musk than USAID.

This is a scandal in and of itself.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LIZ: 100 percent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You know what is behind their pay wall there?

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

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

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

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

During the Obama administration, it may still be true.

I don't know.

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

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

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

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

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

And they were blocked! Every government employee was blocked.

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

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

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

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

And emotional manipulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And I had put in 20 million, myself.

We started this entire operation, with $30 million!

$30 million, is what kicked off TheBlaze.

When the technology didn't even exist.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What the hell are we doing funding the BBC?

I mean, the -- go ahead.

LIZ: No, listen.

This is what is so critical to understand.

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

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

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

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

Hinges on the mainstream media outlets.

These corporate media outlets running propaganda for them.

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

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

And now, they can't.

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LIZ: Thanks, Glenn. I appreciate it.

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

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