GLENN: Let me go to Trump, announcing his ten-step plan to dismantle the Deep State. Listen to this. If you haven't heard it, you will love this.
DONALD: Here's my plan to dismantle the Deep State and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption, once and for all. And corruption it is. First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively. Second, we will clean out all the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus. And there are plenty of them.
The departments and agencies, that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled, so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left's political enemies, which they're doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.
Third, we will totally reform FISA courts, which are so corrupt, that the judges seemingly do not care whether they are lied to in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications, that they know were wrong, or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it. They're lied to.
Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power, that have been tearing our country apart. We will establish a truth and reconciliation commission, to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption. And there are plenty of them.
Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy.
When possible, we will press criminal charges.
Sixth, we will make every inspector general's office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee, so that they do not become the protectors of the Deep State.
Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies, to ensure, they are not spying on our citizens, or running disinformation campaigns against the American people. Or that they're not spying on someone's campaign, like they spied on my campaign.
Eighth, we will continue the effort, launched by the Trump administration, to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy, to new locations, outside the Washington swamp.
Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100 thousand government positions, could be moved out. And I mean, immediately, of Washington, to places filled with patriots, who love America. And they really do love America.
Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs, at the companies they deal with.
That they regulate. So they deal with these companies. Or they regulate these companies. Then they want to take jobs from these companies.
Doesn't work that way. Such a public display, cannot go on. And it's taking place all the time, like with Big Pharma. Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment, to oppose term limits on members of Congress. This is how I will shatter the Deep State, and restore a government that is controlled by the people and for the people. Thank you very much.
GLENN: I just -- now, tell me, what is -- what is possibly objectionable about that? Everybody wants term limits. And he's going for a constitutional amendment.
Everybody wants it, except for the people in Congress. He wants to ban the bureaucrats, from going into the businesses that they regulate after they leave government.
That's absolutely fantastic. That stops all of this graft and all of this corruption. But Democrats have been asking for that, for forever.
Moving government, breaking it up, and moving it to different parts of the country. I think that's smart just for Homeland Security. I just hope they don't poison the places where they're moving them to.
Independent monitoring of the intelligence agency. So they're not spying on Americans.
How could you possibly, as a Democrat, how could you possibly be against that?
They're not spying on us. And there's no disinformation campaigns, which we know happened. The inspector general's office of each thing that they monitor, being independent from those -- from those institutions.
So if I am monitoring, and I'm the inspector general, of the Pentagon, I'm not part of the Pentagon. So I can't be shut down. That is fantastic.
How could you be possibly against that.
This one is a little -- we have to look at the wording. Government leakers. He will fire any government leakers, and prosecute where possible. If they are trying to subvert the government or working in collusion, to give false narratives to the press. Okay?
I think I'm for that one. But I want to make sure that leakers and whistle-blowers are protected.
The FISA courts, Stu. How could you possibly be against that, if you're a Democrat?
And the Justice Department. Clean up the Justice Department. What was the other one? Oh, going for the truth and reconciliation.
That's a document dump. Who is against document dumps? I would like to know exactly what the truth is on all of these things.
I want to know. I think this is uniting. Now, the press will make this into a horrible dictatorial stuff. But it's not. Practice have if -- if the Biden administration would have done this, I would have been for all of these.
Now, what is the problem with them, Stu?
STU: Yeah. I mean, I think if you go through all those proposals, probably the worst thing you can say about them, is that several of them are sort of just not particularly interesting to the average person. Like, I think a lot of people don't even know what a FISA court is. Like, when you're talking about it from that perspective, they might be good policies. But they're not going to be exciting.
And they range from that, to the most popular proposals in our public discourse. Immure talking about things like term limits.
Which you talk about 80 percent popularity, around a proposal like that.
And the only thing stopping it is Congress. They've been, you know, doing this forever. Because they're protecting their own gigs.
Now, I will say, I am going to be very, very entertained when part of this proposal, he floats to taunt the media, a third presidential term. That's going to be fun.
And I can't wait until he does it. Because you know he will do it.
If senators get 12 years, why wouldn't a president. Your favorite president. Why wouldn't he get 12 years?
That's coming.
GLENN: I want him to float the idea of packing the court. I want him to do that, just so badly. Because everybody would be like, that's -- you can't do -- that's ridiculous.
He's going to control the court forever that way. That's unconstitutional. I would love him to just float it for about a week. And then say, huh. Thank you for all of those sound bites. We will use them against you, if you ever get in power and try for pack the court. Because you clearly know why this is wrong.
STU: Yeah. Honestly, I would -- I'm sorry -- I love that approach.
I think he comes out. He says, I'm going to start studying those proposals made by the left, during the last couple of years, as some of them sound interesting. Let them all get excited.
Then come back. Pull the rug out from underneath it. Then propose something that locks it at nine, forever.
Seriously. This is ridiculous. Let's just set it at 9:00. And then be done with it.
This shouldn't be something that is even talked about. It is a ridiculous manipulation of power.
We've seen the left try to do it hundred times. Let's get rid of that one forever.
You are going to have it, go through a constitutional process. Check that one in there too.
GLENN: So friends of mine sent me a text message, between two friends, that just came in.
And I really -- this -- this is mental illness. It really is mental illness. Listen to -- listen to this exchange via text. Okay?
Did you all vote Republican?
Just trying to figure out who to trust.
We voted both ways. We're Libertarians.
Okay. This is the response.
We voted both ways, we're Libertarians.
Sorry. If you feel our choices in this election is needed to end the friendship.
I feel like we've trusted one another throughout the years. Unfortunately, no one is perfect, in either way that you choose.
I hope you can still feel comfortable, reaching out to us. If you ever need anything.
And still be friends.
Now, this is a long-term friendship.
Men are hurting us!
They're laughing gleefully at our pain.
If you voted Republican, that's all because you're okay with that.
Men are hurting us. Could you be more specific? Men are hurting us. Could you also show us where the men are that are laughing in your face? They are holding up signs saying women are property. Could you help me out with that one. Could you show me a picture of those signs?
STU: That one, I did see a real estate listing, that did list women as property. So that is happening.
GLENN: Okay. So it's a real decision --
STU: Online.
GLENN: Okay. All right.
Are your daughters property? Well, they are now.
STU: Huh.
GLENN: What?
Now, this person responds in a way that I wouldn't have. I would have saved this one for later. Because I have too many questions on what she just said. She said, are you all going to sell the Tesla now? Isn't that supporting Musk and the Republican Party. Then the friend responded. I saw your Ted Cruz sign.
He wants my child dead.
STU: That was a weird part of his campaign. The whole, I want your child dead, vote for me, instead of Allred chanting.
But it worked. He won.
GLENN: Right. And then she responded the Tesla thing. No. We bought it used. And there's no way to escape capitalism right now.
But you chose this. You chose to make women property.
Well, I'm sure I'm sorry that you feel like you have to you be friend us. There were good things on both sides. If you hate us, then you really never knew us.
I hope you get everything you voted for.
I hope it all affects you personally.
Me too, actually.
I hope it affects you too, because it will be good.
You hate me and my child if you voted for people who openly called for our deaths. Who called for your deaths?
Please, give me. Before you break up a long-term friendship, can you please just give me the original source, of people calling for your deaths.
Now, I'm sure there are people online, that have said, really crazy things.
Because honestly, let's go up about four paragraphs, and what you just sent. You say really crazy things, too.
So let's just deal with who said that, when it was said, what the context was. Because I've never heard that before. So now, we all know. I already knew, but I hope you were able to see what was happening because you're not stupid.
Please, forget we exist.
I beg you not to talk to anyone about my son, who is disabled.
We're first on the chopping block.
Now, apparently, the son is trans, and disabled. Well, you know what, I think there are rules at Auschwitz. Yeah. He would be first. Oh, we don't live in Nazi Germany, do we?
Please forget we exist, and don't turn us in. Wow. You are 100 percent, I guess we voted wrong. Sarcasm in the face of my pain?
What pain? What pain?
Your pain is being caused because you believe lies. If you actually think that Donald Trump wants your trans handicapped child dead, you have no idea. You are so far out of reality.
I hope you have a lovely day. God bless you and your family. Typically.
I'm kidding. Please don't hurt us. We don't exist. You don't know us.
You're so compassionate with your name-calling, and if you believe that, stop texting us. What name did I call you
I will stop. But I didn't call you any names. I did not. I truly hope that you would see the light, because the Cruz sign didn't come back. I thought you would care that women are dying.
Again, give me a fact. Show me an original source.
Where are women dying?
We are now literally property of men.
You say literally, show me the source on that.
My mistake.
You said we were stupid with, for who we voted for.
No. I said you were not stupid. Which means you did it with purpose.
Oh, so I'm not stupid. I'm just evil, voting knowingly for your child to be killed?
May your daughters bleed out in the hospital parking lot now. I hope you have the good sense to be lesbians or childless cat ladies.
Again, as I said, you're 100 percent right. Maybe four more years, we can be friends. L-O-L.
Women are property now.
What the hell is wrong with people?
