Best of the Program | Guests: Rep. Chip Roy & 'Klaus Schwab Jr.' | 11/18/24

and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia made to travel.

Hey, there's a segment in today's broadcast with the Cool Kids Club, the Cool Kids Table.

As somebody who never sat at the Cool Kids Table,

I noticed something.

Donald Trump is at the Cool Kids Table right now.

Donald Trump, everything has changed.

He's suddenly cool.

Now, what does that mean for the future?

Also, Mika, Joe, Scarborough, oh, gosh, darn it.

They went to kiss the ring of Donald Trump.

They're in trouble.

And also,

it looks like Joe Biden just really wants to give Ukraine long-range missiles so they can strike into Russia.

Kind of a bad idea.

What does that all mean?

All on today's podcast.

First, let me talk to you about the Ministry of Pre-Born.

They are doing, I mean, they are the champions of the cause.

First of all, I said this in a speech the other day.

I was talking to a bunch of Catholics about abortion, and I have to tip the hat to the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church cared about abortion before anybody else cared and they've been fighting on the front lines forever.

Now Pre-Born has come in in the last I don't know decade or two

and they really have developed a system that is so smart and they know how to attack this.

And it is the right thing to do because they're talking about the moms and the babies.

Right now for $28 you can sponsor an ultrasound.

That doubles the chance that mom will choose life and through a match your tax deductible gift will be doubled.

So Pre-Born also supplies moms with diapers, car seats, counseling, books, I mean everything.

I'm incredibly proud to work with Pre-Born and I'm so proud that you feel the same way.

So let's keep it going.

One ultrasound is $28.

140 will save five babies and babies are worth fighting for.

Maybe you could make a monthly donation of $28.

Donate securely at pound250.

Say the keyword baby.

That's pound250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com/slashbeck.

It's pre-born.com/slashbeck.

All gifts are tax-deductible, and pre-born has a four-star charity rating.

Fight, fight, fight for the babies, sponsored by pre-born.

You're listening to the best of of the Glenbeck program.

Well, hello, Stu.

Glenn, how's your weekend?

It was pretty, it was actually fun.

Almost, almost went to

the UFC fight at Madison Square Gardens.

Yeah.

Have you ever done that before?

You ever go to an art UFC fight?

No, my son goes a lot, but we were up in New York City.

We had some stuff we had to do.

And so we get up to New York City and my son says,

And I'm like, all right, let's check it out.

$1,200 a seat.

And it was like nosebleed.

And I'm like, nope.

Uh-uh.

Cheapest one.

Your get-in price was $1,200.

$1,000.

And I'm like, no, son, we're going to watch it on Netflix or whatever is running this.

Yeah.

Because I toyed with going to the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight, which was right here in Dallas.

And the get-in price was not that ridiculous.

It was, I mean, you know, less than $100.

Oh, wow.

But you were so far in the nosebleeds.

Like, what am I doing with my, I might as well just watch it on TV.

Although I guess that was a little challenging as well, as we saw with Netflix.

I found that

really disappointing.

First of all, any guy who walks out with pearls and diamonds sewed to his, you know, to his boxing short is somebody that just needs to get clipped

by Mike Tyson.

Million-dollar shorts.

You don't think that was.

I don't think that was.

No, I don't think that was.

Legitimately million-dollar shorts, apparently.

I know.

Yeah, I find it.

Can I say one quick thing about this?

Because I grew up

with loving Tyson.

Like, that was my era.

Like, you know, I loved Robin.

I'm assuming.

Well, yeah.

And I feel like people forgot.

Again, I understand that he denies that.

He says, I think his quote is basically like something like, I didn't do that, but I did so many other things.

It was probably, we're probably even

with all the jail time.

So, okay, whatever.

We'll take him.

We take him as word, maybe that he's reformed or whatever.

But like, this is a convicted rapist.

And everyone's everyone's like, This damn influencer.

Hey, why is he selling

prime drinks?

This bastard!

Like, are you right?

Like, he's not a convicted rapist.

That's what, maybe, maybe the weird thing where everyone's booing Jake Paul and cheering the rapist might be a strange development.

I mean, it is.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You put me in a ring with a guy in a wheelchair.

I'll probably be able to beat him.

I get it.

I mean, it's just, it's not.

I just found it grotesque.

I really did.

I was like, come on, man.

And I wanted to see him go out punching that guy in the face.

Just punching Paul.

Boom, boom.

Boom.

First of all, Jake Paul is a Trump guy and came out with his massive following right before the election.

I don't care.

We're talking about what he does.

You might not care.

I'm just like, I sense the hatred toward this guy from everybody.

And it's like.

I just didn't like it.

I just don't like it.

I just didn't like it.

I didn't like, you know,

it's like beating up girls.

It's like, you know.

Oh, God.

Don't get me started on that.

Yeah.

Because it's just, it's just, it's.

Tyson wanted $20 million.

I don't feel that bad for him.

He did it.

No, he did it.

He wanted it.

And I will say, like, Jake Paul's beaten some fighters that are younger and

MMA stars.

He's beaten.

It's funny.

I didn't know what to think.

And I said this the other night.

And then we got closer to the fight and I was watching some of the highlights of Jake Paul actually hitting people.

And then I thought how I feel when I try to get out of my car after a workout.

And I was like, I'm sorry, add 10 years to me.

There's no way he's beating a 27-year-old that can actually throw punches.

No, I was, I went from having no idea what was going to happen to being fully convinced unless it was fixed.

But Jake Paul has a lot of people who are not going to be able to do it.

He has fought people that are not,

you know, that are his age.

They creamed him up.

No, that's not true at all.

This is what got really won me over because

I watched some of the highlights of him.

He's, first of all, beaten like a bunch of people, like legit MMA fighters in boxing, right?

So it's a different sport.

But still, if you're putting, I mean, some of his knockouts, he is dropping them.

The guy can hit.

I'm sorry.

And the only fight he lost was against a boxer, which he lost in a close decision.

And he was very competitive and drilled the guy a bunch of times.

So I don't know.

I'm not saying he's a great boxer, but like, I think you would say, hey, this guy is a competitive boxer in his prime going up against a guy who's 60 almost.

I'm sorry.

There's just no way.

And of course, that is wound up happening.

Though I will say

what you alluded to earlier was the worst.

I know this is sexist.

Like sometimes you just can admit your sexism.

Am I a sexist?

Yes.

Here's how.

I don't want to see women get punched in the face.

No, you know what?

It's not sexism.

You're being chivalrous.

It is because I liked watching the male boxers go at it.

That's not.

I don't like it.

I don't care if it's sexist.

You can call it chivalrous.

You can call it sexist.

It's not even chivalrous.

I don't want to see it.

Well, I don't want to see it.

Did the woman before, Glenn, her eye was falling out of her head?

Like, legitimately, there's a flap of skin, and it looked like it was watching something out of a hostile sequel.

Her eye was about to pop out on television.

And she's like, just talking to the cameras as if nothing happened.

I don't want to see it.

I don't have a, I don't have a problem.

I don't want to watch it either, but I don't have a problem if two women are in the ring.

I do.

Yeah, I know you do.

But when it's a guy who claims to be a woman,

then I'm really

smoked.

I'm really smoking.

That's really.

I don't know if you saw when Trump entered Madison Square Garden, he brought the whole posse with him.

Oh, yeah.

Cut 31.

Ladies and gentlemen, who is now making his way to the world-famous octagon

by UFC CEO Dana White

45 soon to be 45?

And look who's behind him.

That's Musk.

It's hard to see.

That's Musk.

That's Johnson.

The bake is in that.

The sound in this room is so loud in here.

Pulsi Gabbard is in that.

He apparently was in Washington.

He's like, hey, everybody, get on the plane.

We're going to go.

Or wherever he was.

Washington or

Florida.

Or Florida.

So Donald Trump.

That's funny because when I was watching Tyson highlights leading up to the fight on Friday,

this is the same thing that used to happen in the 1980s.

Oh, yeah.

Tyson would be walking in with the same response.

It was exactly the same as 1986.

But now it's shocking, I guess.

But I mean,

other than a campaign event, it would be stunning to see Donald Trump get this

reception to, I think, most of the people in the media at Madison Spurs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Well, this was another, this was just, this was a disguised Nazi rally.

Oh,

that's why they welcomed him like that.

There he is, hugging Joe Rogan.

I mean,

it is.

And then let me show you after

you had, where is it?

Here,

John Jones gives it 26.

He hands him the belt.

Did you see any of this?

It was nuts.

It was absolutely nuts.

Everybody was a Trump supporter.

Like, everybody seemed to be a Trump supporter.

Yeah.

I mean,

it was really bizarre.

And then, did you see the people?

Do I have anything from any of the touchdowns from this weekend?

Like, people were making touchdowns this weekend.

Yeah, I saw that from from a few people.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean,

play

here, play right after the fight, cut 25.

Like a light, heavyweight.

And I think that's the 235-pound weight.

Doing the Trump dance.

It was everywhere.

Gang, I don't know what happened, but like Donald Trump is cool.

I mean, he's...

Donald Trump has always been cool.

There was

up until 2000, like 15, 16, and then we, like, it was denied for many years, and now it seems to be back.

Right.

Right.

This is, this is the norm of American society.

This is who he used to be.

I can't believe this guy has turned this corner so hard that he's back to the guy who is in home alone.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

No, it makes sense.

It's nuts.

It's so crazy.

that

Joe and Mika

are flying down to meet meet with him to try to restore their role.

No, they are not.

Yes, they are.

They were just calling him fascist every day for two years.

I know.

I know.

Now they're going to try to repair the relationship.

They're trying to repair the relationship.

This is the type of stuff that Trump loves.

Like, he loves people groveling like that.

That is going to be adorable.

I can't wait for that one.

There are going to be some interesting tweets,

I will say, afterward.

It is interesting.

Let me ask you this.

I was tossing this around with a friend of mine this weekend, and

we were talking about how, like, this sort of phenomenon, right?

Where people in sports are doing this, and it's become kind of cool, as you, as you know, yeah.

And I was trying to understand: it's like, is it a Donald Trump thing where people are just like, yeah, maybe they've always thought he was cool and kind of were hiding it, and now they're kind of coming out of hiding, which I think is a plausible explanation.

The other one, too, I think now the Trump movement generally, MAGA, let's call it, generally, is just associated with like,

we don't want to ruin your fun life, right?

Like, the left is now associated with, you can't say this.

Can you imagine being in college in this environment, Glenn?

Like, where you're joking, you're busting on everyone, you're calling them all these, you know, you're calling them terrible names, you're saying terrible things about him, you're laughing about it, right?

Like,

you, you're,

you know, you're saying bad things about people that you don't like and you think it's funny, and like, you're making offensive jokes.

You're a rebel.

All of this.

You're a a rebel right the left now says if you do any of that stuff you're canceled right like when they when we see a clip of a guy playing volleyball and spiking a ball into a woman's face and she's injured

you are now canceled for criticizing that like

Just generally associated with all of this has to be this idea that like

you're taking away common sense.

It's not even like, hey, I agree with his tax policy or

his border policy.

I mean, I think that's involved in it, but I think it's a step further than that and than what you're saying, and it's one of my concerns.

Let me tell you about Lear Capital.

What are your instincts telling you about the country's future?

Mine are telling me that Trump's biggest challenges might not come from the Democrats.

It's likely to come from the BRICS nations.

They've been putting together a coordinated attack against the dollar.

In fact, it's already begun.

By selling the dollar dollar as assets and buying gold, they are trying to crash the dollar and replace it with their own gold-backed BRICS-based currency.

If they succeed, even with Trump at the steering wheel, inflation could still skyrocket and damage the value of your savings and retirement accounts.

Now is the time to think ahead and

recognize what the BRICS nations are doing and get some gold to back your accounts.

Lear Capital, 800-957 gold.

That's 800-957 gold.

They're the only gold company with a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.

If this were all about politics, you would see gold prices collapse.

They're not.

They're holding steady.

Why?

Because the threat still exists no matter who's in office.

It's Lear Capital.

Please call them today, 800-957-GOLD, 800-957-GOLD.

Now, back to the podcast.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program

welcome to the glenbeck program so we're just talking about you know what's going on joined by pat gray what's going on with uh the media and what's going on with the possibilities of i mean you've got jon thun coming out now against

a few of the cabinet picks.

And, you know, you're kind of like, I don't like Jon Thune, but I mean, kind of like a bunch of people.

He has the body of a Greek god.

That is right.

That's who that was.

We learned that from Arlen Specter at the Senate Bathhouse.

Came in naked as a jailbird.

Right.

He was a Greek god.

He got into the hot tub.

And

we made tender love for the next six hours.

This was from the real Arlen Specter book.

Most of that, I should say.

Most of that was right.

And so loose quote.

The other one that is

now making noise, saying, I'm free, I can do whatever I want, is

McConnell.

And McConnell is maybe now going to ride as a dark horse.

And so you would have five votes against the Republicans if Thune and McConnell joined the

other three.

Because I got the impression.

Correct me if you think I'm analyzing this wrong.

But I got the impression Donald Trump, when they were going through that Senate leadership fight, was like, look, I won't come out and say Rick Scott's name if you give me my recess appointments.

That's just, I might be oversimplifying that, but like, obviously Scott was the pick.

He never came, but Trump never came out and endorsed.

He was like, look, I'll stay out of this.

I guarantee you that deal was done.

I can't guarantee it.

I don't know if you can't provide that deal.

Yeah, that deal happened.

And the way the picks came out was interesting because you got Marco Rubio, and then he's like, hey, John, what do you think about these recess appointments?

And then the second he said yes to that and got this gig, it's like, Matt Gates, RFK Jr.

Like he started rattling off all the people you knew Thune wouldn't vote for.

And Thune has come out this weekend and said there has to be, we have to have the usual Senate procedures.

That's interesting.

So maybe that wasn't, maybe that was wrong.

But I really don't understand not endorsing Rick Scott then.

Right.

Like,

that doesn't make any sense to me.

It could be that Thune is just, you know, just got the job, job and now he's lying.

I don't know.

It's fascinating, but I think you're right.

Like, I think there's some of these appointments are going to have real trouble if it goes through a normal process.

And you know what's weird is CNN, who used to love RFK, now hates RFK, is trying to call us a hypocrite.

Me in particular on RFK.

This is what CNN, they went into the old archive and they got their own network where you were on the internet.

No, no.

Fox.

But I was.

They should have gone into their own archive.

The first show you ever did had an interview about this topic yes about about basically you are eating fast food on the air right while while talking to an author of a book who hated it they cut it because they're like we can't have one of our house do that no i they cut it down we got some of it a little bit we fought uh okay so uh here's what cnn played as a flashback

about my hypocrisy ready when i heard this i thought get your damn hands off my fries lady if i want to be a fat fat fatty and shovel french fries all day long, that is my choice.

I still stand by that.

There's no change.

We can see.

There's no change whatsoever.

Wait a minute.

There's no change whatsoever.

If I want to be a fat, fat, fatty, it is my right

to be able to choose what I want.

Don't try to trick me into, you know, wait, I didn't know you had fries.

Oh, they're in the back.

Don't, don't, don't.

Don't manipulate me.

so you're not michelle obama let's move you're not michael bloomberg banned 32-ounce sodas

you're not you know mike huckabee just you know he was another one who was doing that on the republican side you know what i am i i surprisingly use is the calorie counter on the menus yeah that's you know it is a useful tool again should the government be implementing it no no but it tells you what food tastes better than the other food exactly if i have a thousand calories as opposed to 400 i'm going with the thousand calories.

Because you know it tastes better.

It's like a tastometer.

Right, right, right.

Yeah.

So, I mean, you know, they're talking now about fluoride in the water.

Raise your hand if you care about fluoride in the water.

Okay.

I'm not raising my hand.

I care about having the choice whether I should have fluoride in the water.

Not the question.

Okay.

Okay.

The question is, are you worried about the fluoride in your water?

Not really.

Not really.

Not really.

Okay.

So do I know that fluoride is safe for the water?

No.

No.

No.

I don't have any idea.

Based on everything else this government has done, probably.

It's probably cyanide.

I have no idea.

Okay.

So here's what I'm for.

Putting in the water

water.

And if you want to add fluoride, You can add fluoride.

You could get it.

You know, this was, this was, you know, this was turn of the century kind of stuff when everybody's head was, you know, full of rotted teeth because nobody brushed their teeth.

You can get all the fluoride you want now in crest or whatever you use.

Right, toothpaste.

You can use that.

The problem was, it wasn't that there was no fluoride.

People weren't using toothpaste because they weren't using toothbrushes because they weren't brushing their teeth.

That's the problem.

Right.

And you can understand that policy at that point, whether it was right or wrong even then, who knows?

But like, you can understand why they did it back then.

Like, I feel like people have toothpaste now.

It's just not a huge concern for me, honestly, either way, but I feel like people have toothpaste.

Or fluoride, just put to use toothpaste as a topping for your ice cream.

Just put it in.

Just put it right in.

If you don't have a problem with it and you want more of it, go ahead.

Yeah, you put as much as you want.

You're going to eat toothpaste by the tube.

Keeping in mind, it is somewhat toxic.

Depending on how much you can squeeze the whole tube and you're eating the toothpaste, it might not be good for you

at certain doses.

So is water.

Right, right.

So like, again, it's all about the dose.

And

like, I guess why it's just, it's just one of those things that like becomes this big issue.

And

I don't know.

Like, I, it's for me, I don't really care about it either way all that much.

I know a lot of people are or do really care.

But again, I think having choice is great.

Like you should be able to choose whether you have it or not.

And toothpaste is an easy delivery system for that choice, it feels like to me.

When it comes to this other stuff, I am concerned.

I am concerned.

I don't want to turn into that Michelle Obama, let's move party.

That was what I think you were criticizing in that clip.

It is.

It was about Michelle Obama.

Get your hands off my french fries, lady.

You know, but you, that's fine.

I just don't want things mandated to me.

I would like to know, you know, wait a minute, hang on just a second.

And it's because it's just like everything else with the government.

We didn't pay attention.

There are things that are

maybe not the healthiest in our food.

If it is poison at any level,

we should probably not have that added to our food.

Okay.

And I have no problem with that.

And I don't have a problem if you want to put that in the food as long as there's a label on it, you know, as long as you know what's in the food.

And we're starting to educate ourselves.

Can I ask you a question, though?

Because I hear this part of the argument a lot, which is like, you know, they

banned this in Canada and Europe, and we're putting it in our our food.

Isn't that the right approach?

Shouldn't Canada and Europe have more restrictive measures on the free market than we do?

Isn't that kind of like

how, like normal?

Isn't that what we should want as conservatives?

In fruit loops, they use for orange, they just use...

Oh, my God, the Fruit Loops.

I know, I know, I know.

I know.

There are not three ingredients in Fruit Loops in Canada.

That is not

even remotely close to true.

As we're talking about the dye, okay?

Yes.

You're using yellow or orange, they get it from carrots.

Why aren't we doing that instead of some chemical byproduct?

Okay, so that's a good argument.

The reason why, right, is because it probably costs fruit loops less money.

That's why they're doing it.

And the reason they're not doing it in Canada, which there are a couple of these colorings that are slightly different, right?

Like

they come from different sources, natural sources.

The reason they're doing it in Canada is because the Canadian government has told them they have to.

That is the difference, right?

So fruit loop.

So, the government is making the decision and not fruit loops.

Now, of course, there's another layer of this decision, which is us, whether we decide to eat fruit loops or not.

Yes.

And I don't think any of us are coming to the table being like, I think the most healthy food, it's fruit.

It's got fruit.

Even though they spelled it F-R-O-O-T, it's got fruit in the title.

Must be healthy.

You make that.

And I think the conservative approach to this is to say, we make the choice whether we eat fruit loops or not.

We all can look at the label.

We can choose.

And you know what?

In many circumstances, a lot of these companies have come up with alternate,

you know, alternate things.

Like the simply Cheetos, for example.

Now, do I believe there's any difference in the health quotient of simply Cheetos with white cheese dust and orange regular Cheetos?

I don't think there's any difference at all, but you get to choose whether you think those are better.

That to me is a much more consistent, conservative approach rather than begging for Canadian and European regulations.

I think that's a terrible approach.

And

I'm concerned that we could go down the wrong road.

Here's my approach.

Abolish the FDA.

I mean,

I am

much closer to that position.

But like,

you can't, if you abolish the FDA, what you get is the free market.

Exactly right.

Right.

That's not, I don't think RFK Jr.

would say that's exactly right.

Probably not because he wants,

he as well wants all kinds of guardrails.

Yeah.

I want the free market to work.

And, you know, if fruit loops, you know, if you started getting cancer because, and the doctor's all like, you know, I think it's the orange

fruit loop.

You know, it's not the red one or the green one.

That's fine.

It's just the orange one.

It's just the orange fruit loop.

You know, I think that would stop.

In the free market, that would stop.

It would.

And we see that, of course, especially if you had the press

going the way they used to and the government going the way it used to you used if you had a problem if a company was screwing you you would go to the press and the press wasn't in bed with the giant corporation and the government so the press would say hey there's this consumer here and here and here that have been royally screwed they're riddled with cancer and they're saying it's the orange fruit loop

Well, we've looked at studies and see that maybe General Mills knew that that orange one was bad,

but

they're making money because they also produced the chemotherapy drugs.

That's when the government would come in and pound them into sand.

And that's a really egregious example that you

created, intentionally egregious.

And that's where I feel like our guardrails should be as Americans.

Right.

Right?

Like if we're, Europeans don't put their guardrails there.

They ban everything.

The second they think any time anyone complains about it.

Except except for drugs.

It's so weird.

except for pharmaceuticals they are so far ahead of us in their drugs you cannot get here that you can when it you know your trial you know people go over for experimental stuff over in in europe all the time and trump did did help fix a lot of that he did which again i think is where you fall back to on a lot of this stuff right like trump if if he if it's something he cares about which i you know i think a lot of the stuff would be he's not going to let rfk jr go crazy he's not going to He cares about global warming.

He says that's the biggest scam ever.

Right.

He cares about that.

I'll be shocked if RFK Jr.

starts like, hey, global warming's a health crisis.

I'm HHS.

Health crisis.

Like the Democrats would do stuff like that.

RFK Jr., given free reign, would do stuff like that.

Trump won't allow stuff like that.

No, I don't worry about that.

But I do worry about

he's going to hire thousands of people.

Are those people going to be ideological conservatives worried about the free market?

Are they going to be people that think a a lot more like RFK Jr.?

Trump can't monitor every one of those hires.

I know, but hopefully Trump has people to monitor all those hires.

Monitor the monitors.

Pat Gray, thank you so much for stopping by.

You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever you download podcasts.

Mr.

Chiproy, how are you, sir?

Glenn, I'm doing great.

How are you, brother?

I am really good.

How are you feeling about what's going on now in Washington?

What's it feel like there?

Well, I mean, thankfully, we haven't spent a whole lot of time here.

America's better off until we get everybody in in January.

Right.

But we were up here for a couple days last week.

I mean, look, I'm feeling good.

I'm feeling good about the direction of where the president is going with what I have described as disruptors,

nominees, people who will challenge the status quo, take on the swamp, drain the swamp, whatever language you want to use.

People who get it, they want to change things from Pete Exeth to Bobby Kennedy and everybody in between.

But But to be clear, I'm not saying I agree with all these people on every issue.

Exactly right.

Yep.

What we need is people who are going to rock the boat up here.

Tell the corporatists and tell the big government bureaucrats, nope, it's a new day.

We're going to start over and we're going to figure out how to get this right.

So that's good.

I think we've got a few little hiccups along the way, right?

We need to make sure Congress, you know, I used a line last week.

I'm all about unity.

I love being on a team.

Love it.

It feels great.

There's nothing better than when you're on a team together and you get everything done together.

But I'm on a team to win.

I'm not on a team for the sake of it.

So Republicans keep talking about unity in the House and all that.

But then I see yesterday a few of my colleagues go on the airwaves and start walking back mass deportations, start talking about how we're not going to do certain things.

We're only going to focus on this over here.

I've got another colleague over here.

chattering about lifting the salt cap, saying nothing's going to move unless we get that salt tech

cap lifted so that Yankee northeastern states that have high tax rates can get big federal subsidies for them.

There are a lot of little things here we're going to have to figure out how to square and get everybody on the same page to advance the Trump agenda.

But things are moving in the right direction, but Congress is going to have to figure out how to get itself arranged to deliver.

So how do you feel about Mike Johnson now?

I mean, the president seems to have endorsed him and embraced him.

He was at the UFC fight with the president and Elon Musk and RFK and Tulsi on Friday night.

So he looks like he's sitting at the cool kids' table.

How do you feel about him?

Well, look, this is one of those things where, you know, over time, we're going to see what he does.

And there's time between now and January 3rd.

There's time between, you know, after that

on how we're going to perform.

But Mike's a friend.

I like Mike a lot.

We're talking, his team and I are talking.

You know, we came to some resolution last week to get some of the moderates who were targeting conservatives with retribution amendments, saying they were going to kick us off committees if we opposed rules and things like that.

We got all those taken down.

Unfortunately, it was kind of in a quick, hasty deal, and some of us agreed, some of us didn't, but the motion to vacate was agreed to lift from one to nine.

The bottom line to all that is inside baseball, we've made some progress in unity, but I will say

I was a little concerned about what I heard yesterday out of the speaker, kind of walking back a little bit, the focus on deportations.

I think we need to just keep our foot on the gas.

We need to identify the 10 things that we're going to deliver for the American people, and we've got to go do it.

And we can't be doing any back, you know, stepping backward.

We've got to unite for a purpose.

I think we're getting closer to unity.

I think Mike's doing a good job trying to pull us all together.

I genuinely believe that.

Getting us in a room to try to figure it out.

But we still have work to do.

November, what is today?

the 17th or 18th or 19th?

Yeah, 18th.

You know, the...

Is it the 19th?

No, it's the 18th.

You know,

the thing that everybody in Congress needs to remember is the president that deported more people than anybody else, over 10 million people, was Bill Clinton.

You want to take 10 to 15 million people.

That was already done.

And most people don't even know that Bill Clinton did that.

So please don't talk to me about, oh, well, we can't do that many.

Yes, you can.

Bill Clinton did it back in the 90s.

Well, go ahead, Congressman.

Yeah, no.

No, no, that's exactly right.

I mean, look, I want to be very clear.

Our starting place should be for any individuals who came here illegally or were released into the United States illegally, illegitimately, by the Harris, Biden, Mallorca regime.

They need to be removed.

They need to be deported.

That is the starting place.

I have no problem prioritizing criminals.

Neither do you.

I have no problem prioritizing people who came in here and got no papers at all.

They just came in and were gotaways.

No problem.

No problem going through and figuring out how to establish fees, to pay for all this stuff,

force this all to a decision point,

and to figure out how we're going to proceed at the end of that rainbow.

But we're going to move through this.

methodically and do the job that the American people sent us here to do.

And that means deportations.

And that means there's going to be some uncomfortable conversations.

There's going to be some uncomfortable actions, but we must deport.

We've got a serious problem in this country with people that have been dumped into our country undermining who we are as a country, undermining the rule of law, not just because they're criminals, not just because they might be terrorists, but because they've been dumped into a massive welfare state.

Roll back the welfare state.

Roll back all of the big government programs.

Roll back all of the benefits that are provided to people.

Deport massive numbers of these.

Then tell me who's left who want to achieve the American dream through hard work, not through handouts.

Then I'll be saying, oh, like Milton Friedman, sure, I'm for open borders if you don't have a welfare state.

That's not entirely true, but it's roughly correct.

Yeah.

What does this look like in real life?

Because when I hear the media talk about mass deportations, they're describing a process where concentration camps.

Concentration camps where just trucks are just riding up into Hispanic communities and going house to house and searching.

Like this happens without all that nonsense, right?

I mean, this is

how does this work?

Exactly, Chip.

Well,

I don't want to get in front of the great guys like Tom Homan and others, former ICE directors, now the Borders Are, et cetera.

I'm going to let them lay out their plans.

What I would tell you is what you're going to do is you're going to make it to where there's going to be a lot of self-deportation, a lot of understanding of what's coming, and people are going to get it, and they're going to want to go.

But you're going to, yes, seek out the criminals using ICE enforcement internally, right?

We've got a million people, by the way, 1 million who already have deportation orders and have not been deported.

So find them.

Can we start with them, right?

Get them and release, you know, and deport them.

Let's go around and figure out when we do enforcement, interior enforcement, where you've got people and they're in jails.

Let's put pressure on sanctuary cities.

Start there.

Anybody who doesn't have paperwork, doesn't have a notice to appear, boom, release, like you're gone.

So, or remove.

So that's what I think we need to do.

But I'm not going to get in front of the president in terms of the specific program.

But let's be very clear.

What the president's doing and putting Tom Holman there's borders are Brendan Carr at the FCC.

Amen.

Kennedy, these are all great folks.

Brendan Carr is going to come in and do what the Biden regime wouldn't do, actually increase broadband, end all of the woke nonsense.

He will immediately start challenging things like the audacity purchased by Soros.

He will do all of the great work we need to do and create economic activity

and I think be a true

transformation at the FCC.

And I assume you agree with that.

I think you're a great fan of Carr as well.

Yeah, a huge fan of him.

And I've never been a fan of anyone at the FCC until him.

There was a 28-year-old that was taken into federal custody last week in Houston.

His name is Anas Saeed.

He was charged with providing material support to ISIS, investigating how to execute execute an attack on local military recruiting centers, and boasting that he would commit a 9-11-style attack once he had the necessary resources.

I'm reading the story this weekend, and,

you know, they left out one thing.

Is he here illegally?

Do you know or can you find out?

I mean, it happened here in Texas.

Yeah, we've got my staffs looking into that, and I don't have the sort of final answer.

Odds seem pretty dang good that that individual was here illegally.

And we're looking into that.

and that's just one more example uh of what we're dealing with nationally and you know all of the examples we've gone through them so now it's turned into moving from a campaign statement right talking about jocelyn nungere talking about lake and riley talking about go down the list we're now moving into guys this is why we need to act and it's not just the crime it's not just those situations It's the fact, Blen, that we have 51.5 million foreign-born people in this country.

I listened to everybody go on the screen, including, I I think unfortunately, the speaker said this and some others, where you've got, oh,

we need to increase and improve legal immigration.

Okay, sure, I think we ought to improve it, but right now, I think we ought to freeze it.

I think we ought to have it freeze.

Right now, we've been allowing 600,000 to a million people into our country every year for decades.

We have, as I said, 51.5 million foreign-born.

30 million of those are not

citizens or green card holders.

I'm sorry, they're green card, but they're not citizens.

You have 30 million people here, and some of them are illegal.

We're transforming our country.

This is only a higher percentage than the early part of the 20th century after we'd had mass migration.

We've got to reform our education system, teach people who come here about our principles, why our system of government matters, why we believe in freedom, make sure that we have people who want to achieve the American dream and don't want handouts.

We've got to cut the bureaucratic state.

We've got to cut the massive mandatory entitlement program and all these benefits and things that are going at people who are coming here both legally and illegally.

You want to come here and achieve the American dream.

God bless you.

But I'm not going to be up here and allow the Chamber of Commerce and all the corporate whores who are selling out our country because they want cheap labor or the same corporate whores who are now saying, oh, we like rate.

But you got big oil and gas companies saying we like regulation.

Why?

Because they're rent seekers.

They want the government to set them up for more profit, just like the insurance companies that Bobby Kennedy is going to take on, just like all the other big corporations trying to get rich on the back of the taxpayer.

We need to take this all on, including securing the border.

Are you concerned that, I mean, the left is not going to roll over.

I think we are, we're in a, we're in the eye of the hurricane right now.

It seems peaceful, seems nice.

But they are not going to take this sitting down.

They've made plans on,

you know,

exercising, I love this, how they love the 10th Amendment all of a sudden, but exercising their state power to make sure that they don't have to comply by these federal regulations, et cetera, et cetera.

And they're going to be suing the Trump administration, they say, a lot.

You concerned?

Of course, I'm concerned.

The very first thing they'll do when we start deporting people is go to court and try to get an injunction saying that these individuals have legitimacy and status based on what the Biden and Harris Mallorcus regime did.

There's zero question that that's what they're going to do.

And we're going to need an aggressive president to push back on it.

We're going to need an aggressive Congress not to blink, not to do the bidding of

big corporate interests or, frankly, those NGOs that were all a part of the problem with getting those people here in the first place.

We're going to have to be resolved.

Let me be very clear.

I mean, somebody pointed out after Brexit and the Tories, you know, they were supposed to deliver on ending the mass influx of immigrants into Britain.

They didn't, and they got sent out on their butt.

Here's the thing.

We are going to deliver in the next two years or the Republican Party will go the way of the Whigs.

It will be no more.

And that's the truth.

The president, Republicans to a degree, were given a mandate.

The mandate was get the government out of our daily lives, get regulations down so we can drive up economic prosperity and get inflation down.

That was one of the mandates is affordability.

And the other mandate was securing the border of the United States and ending all this nonsense and deporting.

The president campaigned on it.

Mass deportations of all the people that have been illegally dumped into our country.

That's what the mandate was, and we've got to deliver.

Chip,

as always, thank you for what you do.

And let us know how we can help.

When we need to raise our voices to be heard, let us know, will you?

I appreciate it, Glenn.

We will.

And there's going to be some fights that are upcoming.

I'm trying to figure out how to set this up and work with my colleagues.

I'm going into this with, you know, hey, we're open door.

Let's all sit down.

Let's figure out how to do it.

But when push comes to shove, we're going to have to start calling balls and strikes on this stuff and deliver.

And don't worry, we'll have those moments.

Well, I know you haven't announced this,

you know, and I don't know what your thoughts are even on it, but I'd like to announce today that you're running against Cornyn for the Senate

and

also I'd like to announce your win against Cornyn in the Senate.

Well,

you're really going to have some fun with me now, aren't you?

I'm going to stay focused on my job.

I got elected representing 750,000 Texans.

I got to make sure we back up President Trump.

The Lord is in charge.

Whatever doors he opens for me, I'll be happy to walk through them.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I think that's what I heard.

Isn't that what you heard, too?

Yeah.

Chip, I love you, man.

Thank you so much.

Which ones were open?

All right.

Thank you so much.
