How JD Vance will put an end to 'racist' government DEI programs



Joe Biden likely won’t sign it, but regardless, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) has introduced legislation to dismantle all federal DEI programs.

“If you want to root out the Deep State and the bureaucracy, you need political appointees who are aligned with the agenda. And what this legislation does — I’m not an idiot, Joe Biden’s not going to sign it — but Donald Trump would,” Vance tells Glenn Beck, adding, “What it would do is really destroy the diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucracy that exists in our country.”

“People say, ‘Well, who doesn’t like diversity right? Doesn’t diversity just mean you have a nice Mexican restaurant down the street?’” Vance continues. “The way that our federal government has interpreted this is to explicitly allow racist decision-making, primarily targeting white and Asian Americans.”

One example Vance uses is of a farm program that explicitly excluded white Americans from the provision of farm assistance for American farmers.

“That’s ridiculous,” Vances tells Glenn. “You can’t discriminate, whether black or white, against people on the basis of skin color, this would proactively root this stuff out of our government, and it’s a very important first step to getting basic merit back in our federal system.”

“I don’t think that even black farmers would have wanted that,” Glenn says, agreeing. “Farmers rely on each other, and they need to help each other because you know if Bill’s crop is down this year, it might be my crop down next year. So, we’re all in this together.”

Vance believes this has a lot less to do with actually helping black people and a lot more to do with hurting white people.

“One of my theories, Glenn, is that a lot of what is broken about America is high-education whites, who really hate lower-education whites. And I think you see that as a main driver of a lot of very stupid, evil public policy in this country, so we’ve got to root it out,” Vance explains.

Trump vows to help GOP take back the House in 2022 in meeting with Kevin McCarthy



Former President Donald Trump appeared to mend fences in a "good and cordial meeting" with Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida Thursday, during which Trump committed to helping the GOP take back the House in the 2022 midterm elections.

"President Trump has agreed to work with Leader McCarthy on helping the Republican Party to become a majority in the House," the pro-Trump Save America PAC said in a statement following the confab. "They worked very well together in the last election and picked up at least 15 seats when most predicted it would be the opposite. They will do so again, and the work has already started."

In the weeks since a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, tensions simmered within the party over Trump's place within it moving forward. Amid a second impeachment and backlash against Trump from some Republicans for stoking the violence, rumors swirled that the former president may abandon the GOP to start his own party should he run again in 2024.

But those tensions seem to have abated, at least for now.

In his own statement about the meeting, McCarthy said, "Today, President Trump committed to helping elect Republicans in the House and Senate in 2022. A Republican majority will listen to our fellow Americans and solve the challenges facing our nation. Democrats, on the other hand, have only put forward an agenda that divides us — such as impeaching a President who is now a private citizen and destroying blue-collar energy jobs. For the sake of our country, the radical Democrat agenda must be stopped."

"A united conservative movement will strengthen the bonds of our citizens and uphold the freedoms our country was founded on," he added.

McCarthy was one Trump's staunchest allies while he was in office and even backed the ex-president's election challenges. But in the aftermath of the Capitol riot, the relationship showed signs of souring, especially after McCarthy seemed to indicate that Trump bore some responsibility for the attack.

Though with the new meeting, Trump's and McCarthy's partnership appears to be intact. The House minority leader likely realizes that his party's political outlook is improved when it is united with its still most popular figure.

Along those lines, the Save America statement said: "President Trump's popularity has never been stronger than it is today, and his endorsement means more than perhaps any endorsement at any time."

Axios poll: Republican voters stand by President Trump amid second impeachment



New polling suggests that the hopes of top Republicans who want President Donald Trump to go away forever are in vain as vast majorities of the base still support the outgoing president.

An Axios-Ipsos poll reported Wednesday found that Republicans across the nation are taking President Trump's side in the unfolding impeachment debate in Congress. A majority of Republicans believe Trump was right to challenge his election loss, don't blame him for the violence that occurred during the riots in the Capitol building on Jan. 6, and want him to be the 2024 Republican nominee for president.

The poll found that the GOP is divided, with 56% of Republican respondents identifying as "traditional" Republicans and 36% identifying as "Trump Republicans."

These factions have different opinions on the president, obviously.

Among traditional Republicans, 24% believe that Trump is to blame for promoting the unrest at the Capitol and should be immediately removed from office.

Only 1% of Trump Republicans think this. An overwhelming 91% of Trump Republicans support the president's efforts to challenge the election results, while only 46% of traditional Republicans say they support the president's election challenges.

Just 41% of traditional Republicans want Trump to be the 2024 GOP nominee; 94% of Trump Republicans want the president to run for office again in four years.

Overall, only 17% of Republicans think the president should be removed from office.

Axios pointed out that the polling explains why there were only 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach the president a second time, blaming him for inciting the violence in the Capitol. Most congressional Republicans are responding to how a significant portion of their base feels.

Offering some insight into why the Republican base opposes impeaching Trump, Ben Shapiro wrote the following in Politico's Playbook newsletter:

Opposition to impeachment comes from a deep and abiding conservative belief that members of the opposing political tribe want their destruction, not simply to punish Trump for his behavior. Republicans believe that Democrats and the overwhelmingly liberal media see impeachment as an attempt to cudgel them collectively by lumping them in with the Capitol rioters thanks to their support for Trump.

"The monopoly Trump's had on the Republican base for the last four years is a little more frayed than any time in recent history," pollster Chris Jackson, senior vice president for Ipsos Public Affairs, said. "A substantial chunk doesn't necessarily think their future goes with Donald Trump. The big question is, is having a small-but-committed base going to be more valuable than a large-but-less-committed base?"
