Why the Debt Ceiling Deal BETRAYS Conservatives | Guests: Sen. Mike Lee & Rep. Chip Roy | 5/30/23

▶️ Listen to episode Download audio (MP3)

While House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is touting the deal to avoid a debt default, many conservatives, including Glenn, aren't impressed with some of the concessions. A sixth insurance company has distanced itself from ESG policies. Why are insurance companies writing thirty-year policies if climate change is dire? Target has lost billions in value since launching its Pride collection, but that's not stopping it from donating to the woke policies. Glenn predicts that establishment Republicans will suffer after House Republicans appear to have caved in the debt ceiling negotiations. Sen. Mike Lee joins to explain how the debt ceiling deal needs to go farther. Rep. Chip Roy joins Glenn to explain how the debt ceiling fight continues despite the current deal approval. Biden official John Kerry is calling for the complete transformation of farming to meet net-zero emission goals.

I've got a few guests coming on today, like Jip Roy, that uh got a few things to get off their chest.

Me too.

First, let me tell you about Sweat Block.

Sweatblock, I went to the Indy 500 this weekend.

Mm-hmm.

Didn't have a problem at all standing outside.

No sweat tacos.

Nothing.

Yeah, because of sweat block.

Didn't have to worry about giving people hugs.

You know, nothing worse.

My children are still working.

Did they have to worry about it?

Yeah, they saw me coming with hugs and

they were like, no.

Go to the speedway.

Anyway, you apply sweat blocks at night and then you'll be protected from embarrassing and uncomfortable sweat for days.

It's a new day, I'll tide to rise.

What you're about to hear here is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, hey, you sick-twisted freak.

Welcome to the program.

It is Monday.

Oh, man.

I can't wait.

Oh, it's Tuesday.

Oh, that's even better.

Anyway, I just cannot wait to talk to you about this new budget deal.

Boy,

the Democrats, oh, they're so upset by it.

And the Republicans really did a great job on this.

Boy, they really.

They have just, I just want all of the Mitch McConnell's and everybody else that was involved in this budget deal.

They're like, oh, this is the greatest.

They all hate Donald Trump.

Congratulations.

What you did

just, I think, may be the reason why Donald Trump in the primary, absolutely unstoppable.

Unstoppable.

Because no one trusts you, weasels.

But I feel a little passionately about it, and I'll talk about that.

And some good news coming up.

First, let me tell you about rough greens.

Jason from Texas wrote in.

He said, you have a nine-year-old Great Dane who has a thyroid problem.

Until recently, she slept 23 hours out of the day.

That was before she tried rough greens.

I can't believe the difference.

She does a happy dance all the way to her bowl now.

So much more active.

She's jumped up on my shoulders twice last week.

She hasn't been able to do that in five years.

Been amazing transformation.

Jason,

I'm so happy to hear about your dog.

I hope you don't live in New York.

For some reason, Stu, correct me if I'm wrong.

The littlest and the largest dogs, there's no medium-sized dogs in New York City.

None.

You either have a little yap, yap, yap, or the largest dog in the world.

I don't know why.

I don't understand it.

But Jason, thank you so much.

Look, if you want your dog to be healthier, happier, more active, would you try Rough Greens?

It's not a dog food.

You sprinkle it on the food, gives them everything they need: vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and antioxidants.

Right now, the first bag is free.

All you pay for is shipping.

Go to roughgreens, r-uffgreens.com/slash back,

greens dot com slash back or call 833 glenn33

oh boy stew i whoo we

wow

what a weekend especially in politics wow was it

delightful you know i finally hit that point where i'm tired of all the winning I

am now

just exhausted.

They had the chance.

They were ahead.

They had everything going for them.

That really is amazing.

Everything.

And yet again, they snatch victory.

No.

No, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yes.

Again.

Yeah, I mean, they had all of the leverage and all of the momentum.

You've made the Democrats fold on like several

big positions.

Time!

For the first time they had it.

Do you know that from what I understand, we don't know until everything is all written out because both sides are saying something different.

But from what I understand, there is no budget ceiling.

It's like, yeah, well, you're going to, you know,

but in a year from now, I don't know.

I'm going to do it.

You know, I don't necessarily have to have a ceiling.

yeah, there's no number.

There's no number.

They're just saying.

There's no number.

In the future.

Right, good.

Yeah.

So that's really good.

That's really good.

And there's never even a thought that, I don't know, maybe we should just not spend this much money and hit this deck.

Like, you know, if you were at home and you kept, you, you're, you took out a credit card to pay for our home.

You took out a credit card to do this and you do that.

And then you're just like, well, the argument should be, guys, we shouldn't have any limits on these cards.

That's the problem.

It's like, no, the problem is you keep spending so much more than than you're taking in.

Stu, I know.

It feels, I feel like a sneaker just

not the same as your home.

It's not.

I'm so tired of hearing that.

It's not

the same as when you have debt at home.

You're right, because I don't have $31 trillion of debt.

Nobody does.

Nobody in the history of the world.

America.

God

bless America.

We're number one again.

Okay, so

I believe I want to start

before the start.

You said, you know, Stu, we're going to start with some good news.

Yeah.

I believe that's what you said to me off the air.

And

I don't really know.

I mean,

it's not that I have a lot to say on this.

And that I've got, oh, a few others that will join us today that also

have a lot to say about it.

But I just try to try to get, you know, I want to have some passion, you know, so I got to get wound up a little bit.

So I have some passion about this topic.

We'll address the rest of it in hour number two of this broadcast.

Now,

let me give you some good news.

Alan Dershowitz, I want a parade for Alan Dershowitz.

I want to parade.

He is officially,

I don't care.

O.J.

Simpson got off.

Fine.

This works.

This works for me.

Okay.

George George, or Elon Musk has been accused of anti-Semitism because of his criticism and mockery of George Soros.

This is an op-ed from Alan Dershowitz.

Mr.

Soros is Jewish.

Mr.

Musk isn't.

But Mr.

Musk stands falsely accused.

Mr.

Soros is an active participant in politics and his Jewishness shouldn't shield him from criticism.

Furthermore, no single person has done more damage to Israel's standing in the world, especially among so-called progressives than George Soros.

His financial support multiplied the influence of two major organizations that have done the most to shift the left-wing paradigm against Israel.

And he goes, he just lays it out.

His organization created by the goodwill and the free world to fight violations of human rights, which has become a tool in the hands of dictatorial regimes to fight against democracies.

This is from Natan Sharansky, former Soviet dissident.

He said, it's time to call a spade to spade.

The real activity of this organization today is a far cry from what it was 30 years ago.

Who changed that organization?

George Soros.

He gave him $100 million, the largest gift by far that Human Rights Watch ever received, according to the New York Times.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Mr.

Soros has had pernicious influence on American domestic issues, such as funding leftist candidates for district attorneys who have politicized law enforcement.

Unlike Mr.

Musk, I haven't compared Mr.

Soros to Magneto.

I love this, a Marvel super villain who, like Mr.

Soros, survived the Holocaust.

I wouldn't make that comparison.

Why?

He says, I wouldn't make that comparison because

I've never heard of Mr.

Magneto.

Well, that's a good reason to not make a comparison.

That's a great reason.

Great reason.

Oh, he's so great.

Okay, so let's see.

Old Navy now has joined the list of stores closing in downtown San Francisco due to rising crime.

Huh.

Who would have seen this?

These major cities are being hollowed out, and it's just not going to last.

If the rest of America shores themselves up, the storm that is coming will wipe this from the face of the earth.

Now,

good news on the ESG front.

Insurance company Lords of London.

has announced its exit from a net zero alliance for insurers.

This is the sixth

insurance company in the last couple of weeks.

The Net Zero Alliance, convened by the United Nations, seeks to commit group members composed of the world's leading insurers and reinsurers to fight climate change.

As part of this, members have to transition their insurance and reinsurance underwhelming portfolios to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

On Friday, Lloyds of London quit the Net Zero Association, took the total members who have quit, I'm sorry, not last couple of weeks, one week, last week alone, to six, which represents a fifth of the total 30 members.

Since March, the total of 10 members have walked.

Yeah, yeah, good.

This is really, really

good.

How about this one?

Germans are questioning.

Remember,

you American, you right-wing American

hate-mongering,

mal information-delivering conspiracy theorists.

We're not banning gas.

We're not thinking about banning gas stoves or gas heaters.

We're not doing it.

Except we are

the Germans, such right-wing conspiracy theorists.

Germans are criticizing a government plan to ban gas and

oil boilers and replace them with electric heat pumps.

Germany wants to become net zero by 2045.

To this end, the government recently announced it's going to ban gas boilers.

Effectively forcing people to switch to heat pumps because our electricity will be much better for the planet.

Yeah, because we won't be making any.

The cost of the ban is estimated at over

9 billion euros or 10 billion dollars.

And that's annually,

annually until 2028.

So they're upset about it.

They're starting to march in the streets as well.

How about this one?

This is the first time.

This is how you know climate change is complete bull crap, okay?

Because insurance companies are still writing 30-year insurance policies for

Miami.

Well, I thought it was going to be underwater.

Yeah, it seems like there's a lot of construction in Miami.

I don't know if you've been there recently.

How do you get the insurance companies to do that?

They're writing it.

Wait, it's all going to be destroyed by water.

How does anybody afford insurance on an island or on a coast

or on Malibu?

Okay.

They can do it because global warming is bullcrapped.

Now,

State Farm General Insurance has now stopped accepting all new application for business and personal lines of property and casualty insurance today

for California.

Now,

see, see, you can't get insurance.

Yeah,

yeah,

because, now they say due to historic increases in construction costs outpacing inflation, rapidly growing catastrophe exposure, and challenging reinsurance

market, the change does not affect existing home insurance if you already have that, just new.

State state farm is one of california's biggest insurers the biggest home insurer by premium volume they say

global warming

but what they're citing is uh wildfires

mudslides all from global warming yeah all all of it from global warming so

uh so here's what's going to happen

um state farm pulls out and says we're not going to insure anything anymore.

What happens?

The government will step in and say, well, we got to have insurance.

And so the United States government will step in to insure all those houses that really shouldn't be there, California.

I mean, if you're worried about wildfires and mudslides and the coastline, you should just pack up all those houses and go away.

You should go someplace like Puerto Rico.

No, I like Puerto Rico.

You should go someplace.

Well, maybe you'll be happy in Canada.

I usually like Canada, but my love affair has gone away.

You'll be happy there.

They're already putting people to sleep.

No pills for grandma.

Let's kill her.

You will love this stuff.

Welcome to the Glenn Begg program.

We're glad you're here.

Hey, there was something that happened at the Indy 500 that was controversial, I guess.

I loved it.

You remember Jewel?

Yeah.

Okay.

Love her.

The singer.

Just love her.

Yeah, the singer.

I think I was one of the first programmers in America to play her music, was I not?

Sounds familiar.

Yeah, I do.

We certainly played it a lot at the station.

We worked at the time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I think I was one of the first programmers in America.

And we've met her several times.

She won't remember me at all, but she is, I love her.

She sang the Star Spangled Banner at the race.

And I will tell you:

Indiana, I love you.

Race fans, I love you.

You are the greatest collection of Americans.

I mean, not all of you.

There were 350.

And, you know, I went into the stands and, you know, there were a few drunk people there.

A few.

Right, really?

Give out the whistle.

You know, that kind of stuff.

I think I just barfed on myself a little bit.

It's a sporting event.

But it's a sporting event.

But they're just so great.

And 350,000 people

at one point they say before the race, they say, it's Memorial Day.

Please remove your hats, stand for a moment of silence.

Okay.

And sometimes, you know, you'll do a moment of silence and people are kind of quiet.

And the moment of silence is like, you know, 10 seconds, like moment of silence.

Okay, that's good.

Let's move on.

This time it was a full 60 seconds.

350,000 people completely, you could have heard a pin drop, completely silent.

Then they followed it with a prayer.

Then they did jewel with a star-spangled banner, and everyone was appropriate, paying attention.

The Scottish guy behind me,

I looked at him.

I said, would that happen in Scotland or in the United Kingdom?

He said, Glenn, I filmed the whole thing because I have to show it to my friends and family back home.

No one would believe this.

It would happen anywhere.

It was so cool.

That's cool.

Here, now, this was controversial because she changed it.

I loved it, but here's Jewel.

Performs our national anthem.

Oh,

say,

can you see

by the doors

early?

What's so proudly we have

at the twilight's last

gleaming

whose broad stripes

and bright stars

through the parlour's fire

apparently

apparently, she got hammered

by the press.

They said people were really split on this because she changed some of the notes, the arrangement a little bit.

I think she's fantastic.

That sounds like a nice version of it.

It's a little different, but it's her style.

It's Jewel.

Yeah, it's what you'd expect from her.

Yeah, that's no big deal.

We love you, Jewel.

We think it was a very good prose.

For me,

I sat there and through that 15-minute period, man, it was hard

for me to even speak.

I was so choked up by that.

It was so great.

Indiana, thank you.

All right.

Is this Home Title Lock?

Okay, Home Title Lock.

Our home's titles are online now.

And, you know, if a criminal accesses your title, what they do is they forge them and they can take out loans against your property.

They can get you kicked out of your house.

It's happened to a lot of people and this is one of the fastest growing crimes in America.

So what do you do?

Do you have you ever checked your home's title to see if you still have

control of it?

My guess is no, because you're

a person with a life.

But Home Title Lock, they don't have any lies over there.

They just, they don't care.

All they do all day is check your home's title.

And they do.

They dedicate themselves to making sure that you're protected from this crime, which if you get hit with it, destroys your financial future.

Home Title Lock can help shut all of this down.

It's what they do.

They do it better than everyone else because they're obsessed with it.

So don't risk this.

Make sure you protect yourself with Home Title Lock.

How do you know if some criminal hasn't already taken over the title of your home?

Well, you can find out for free with sign up and get 30 risk-free days of protection when use the promo code Beck at home titlelock.com.

You got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day, our time to rise.

What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenn Beck Program Room.

Well,

I don't know about you, but I heard about this brilliant maneuvering by the Republicans.

Whoa!

I mean, they had everything

going in their favor.

Everything going in their favor.

And then they walk in and they say mr.

president we're not giving you anything not one thing

we're gonna give you

about 4.3 trillion things that's what we're gonna do and he was boy he buckled under and boy he just Joe Biden

He lost this one.

Thank you, Mr.

McCarthy.

I think that was fantastic.

I mean,

or not at all.

But we'll talk about that coming up in just a second.

I don't know about you, but I'm always for a good steak.

Yeah.

I know it's the middle of the morning, but you could put eggs on and

a giant juicy steak.

And if you judge me, you're no friend of mine.

If you don't judge me, join me.

I would like to

try to

change

breakfast from, you know, bacon and eggs just right to steak.

I don't care if you even add eggs.

You could have fruit loops or just bowls of sugar with it.

As long as you have a steak, that, that's healthy.

And I'm a doctor, man, okay?

I'm a doctor.

Now, you wanna stay with your traditional bacon and eggs?

They got that too at Good Ranchers.

Great, great meat, great pork, bacon, you name it, fish, they have it, and it's all from America.

I know, who knew we did that anymore?

Goodranchers.com.

Right now, if you use the promo code Beck, you'll save $30 off

any box.

It's Good Ranchers.

You can feel good about the 100% American locally sourced meat that you're putting on the grill and on your plate.

It is yummy stuff.

Oh, and by the way, I know this inflation is just transitory.

It'll never go up from here, especially anything coming from a farm.

If you're doing business with Good Ranchers, your price is locked in.

Goodranchers.com.

That's goodranchers.com.

Wow.

So, Stu, I don't.

Have you ever seen anything quite like this with the Democrats?

I mean, other than every other thing that they've ever done?

Yeah, it's a shocker.

Yeah.

I was really stunned by the outcome.

I'm going to make.

And by the way, it's not even over yet, we should point out.

I'm going I'm going to make a prediction that

if this stands,

that Donald Trump has just won the primary

because

who's going to vote for a Democrat or a Republican?

Who is going to vote for a Republican?

I mean, I'll vote for the Republicans that I know now are standing against it.

Ted Cruz, Chip Roy, Mike Lee, among those, the Freedom Caucus.

I mean, I have not seen DeSantis in his position on this, but I would not assume that he would be in favor of it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm not saying he would be.

What I'm saying is, when you don't trust the Republicans, you want somebody you know will just go throw bombs into the Republicans,

you know, House and Senate.

And I don't mean literal bombs.

I forgot.

I'm not combined with target bombing, I'm telling you.

Yeah, no, I mean, I

so you're saying,

tell me if I'm right on this.

Your theory is essentially people will be, are so frustrated at the outcomes of these things where Republicans give up all their leverage and fold

there will be an anti-establishment Republican pushback, and that will lead to Donald Trump.

I told

everyone who would listen to me in Washington this last year, right after the election,

you lose, you lose, possibly forever,

if you don't do the things that you're saying you're going to do.

No tricks, no illusions.

You have to actually do it and you have to do it every time.

Otherwise, you fail.

Nobody's going to trust you because they don't trust you now.

And I don't think you win another election.

So is it just a

feeling sort of thing that people will just be so frustrated with it, they'll just go to Trump because they see him as the anti-establishment guy, even after he was president.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, he's just not, he's not a part of that.

I think there would be pushback by some that might note, you know, Donald Trump did a lot of really good things, but I will say spending not a strong suit.

No, it wasn't.

The spending is

not, I'm not saying that.

What I'm saying is the Democrats themselves or the Republicans themselves.

See, I keep

mixing them up.

To tell them apart, it's hard to tell them apart.

The Republicans themselves have such, you know, last week, I was even saying, when's the last time you heard me talk nicely about Republicans?

Very rarely.

And you've been doing it a little bit recently.

I have been.

Why?

Because McCarthy played this so well the whole time.

He had them.

And you, I think correctly, but you are saying they just didn't get enough out of this.

I mean, they got something, you could argue.

What?

They put a cap on spending at 1%

for the next six years.

So let's not go back to where we were.

And you can still grow the government, but only by 1%.

How about we go back to 2019?

And let's be, I mean, look, I don't want to be, you know, some people will call me a little skeptical and maybe a little pessimistic, but those cuts are not lasting.

No.

The ones where they say they're going to be, well, we're just going to keep it this way until 2029.

Yeah, right.

In 2025, they'll just come out and pass not only the increases they wanted, but more increases and retroactively pass the dollars they didn't get if they actually cut any.

But I mean, I think you could look at stuff like they reclaimed some COVID money that was supposed to be spent on COVID and wasn't.

And they were able to call that back.

You know, they raised one of the work requirements for some food stamp stuff from 50 to 54.

Like there's stuff like that in there that you could say, okay, I mean, that's a moderate improvement.

We're not going to, you know, not even a moderate, tiny improvement.

We're not going to bail out those

people that went to school and took out those big loans.

We're not going to do it until all the way in August.

Wow.

So, like, if you were to say,

like, let's say, like, I don't even know what the scenario is.

Maybe,

you know, six months ago when there was no pressure on this and they just wanted to get it out of the way and they said, look, we'll go along with a debt ceiling increase if you give us a few things so we can say we got a win.

That's kind of how I thought this would turn out at the end anyway, right?

Like where like Republicans would get a couple things because they do have some leverage.

And at the end of the day, it wouldn't really amount to much, but they would be able to come to us and say that it was a win.

That may have worked six months ago.

But when you go down this entire route and you have Janet Yellen coming out and saying, the deadline, the X date is June 1st or June 5th, it's really close.

You have all this leverage and you go through this whole thing and you're winning.

The American people and poll after poll after poll are saying, we can't win.

Don't raise the

unless you have real cuts.

And you get all the way to the, you're on the Indianapolis 500 and you're coming around that final corner and then you just turn the car off.

And it's like, and

it just doesn't seem like they got anything out of this in comparison to what was available.

You know, I would, I've said this before.

I would take a trade in which the only thing Republicans got was the Reigns Act.

That's it.

No spending cuts gone.

Kick it off to 2025.

It was in the original deal.

Just get that one thing that would change the structure of government and really improve it.

And no.

No, they kicked that off.

No.

And it didn't would have changed the structure.

It would have restored the structure of our government.

Right.

Change it from what it is now to something that looks like I don't know America.

The Constitution.

And that was, you know, something that was...

was one of the first things they tossed.

You know, all the climate stuff they had in there, that was all gone.

All of this stuff stuff got, you know, all the stuff that would have really made a difference was gone.

And what happened was you have stuff like, well, they saved, was it $20 billion on the COVID thing that they supposedly clawed back?

We'll see what happens with that.

I'm not going to get that.

You're going to get a dime of that back, Glenn.

I don't think I'm going to get a dime of it back.

And I don't want a dime of that back because it was funny money in the first place.

Just burn it.

Exactly.

Give it back to the people we borrowed it from.

Is that better than like whatever it was going to go, whatever slush fund it was going to go to?

No.

Maybe 1% in military spending wipes that out

10 times over.

They will pass 10 things before the end of the year that wipe out all that savings.

Correct.

So like, and none of it really makes a difference, but they're going to be able to come and say they got something,

which yeah, except they didn't cut the green subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Nope.

So we got that going.

That is the most destructive bill in American history.

Let me say that again.

It's the most destructive bill in American history.

That's quite a statement.

It's the most destructive bill in American history.

And they did nothing.

They did nothing.

Really?

Nothing?

Nothing.

Thank you, Republicans, for nothing.

See, my problem was, I thought, I'm going to give them another chance.

I'm going to give him another chance.

No, uh-uh.

Nope, not going to give him another chance.

Nope, nope.

That's it.

Thank you.

And good night, everybody.

You should just let

McCarthy and the Republicans like Mitt Romney, who's like, this is the greatest deal ever.

Didn't give them anything.

Really?

Nothing.

Huh.

Okay, so spending is frozen at fiscal year 2022 levels.

What?

2022 levels.

Okay, all right.

And it doesn't look like there's a dollar limit to the debt ceiling increase that comes with that.

because

that's a confusing one, right?

So there's two options, I guess, to raising the debt ceiling.

One is changing the number, and two is basically, hey, we're going to ignore this law until this date.

Is that what they did?

They did the second one?

We're just going to ignore this law until this date, basically.

We've passed a new law that will ignore the old law until a specific date.

Right.

And so there's no cap

at the top.

No cap.

And by the way, no cap.

Do you think these people understand that?

It's like, we're going to be super responsible with that.

Glenn, there's not even a thought about actually just staying under it.

No.

Right.

There's no, you could have a bunch of different kind of debt ceilings, right?

You can have a debt ceiling that I think most people have, which is, hey, our debt ceiling is we spend less than we take in.

Right.

That's a debt ceiling.

Right.

And that's what we try to do.

I'm going to go crazy and say, spend everything that you take in.

But you don't spend more than you take in.

Okay.

Another kind of thing.

That's a crazy one, but that's even reasonable.

Then you might have a debt ceiling and say, hey, we took out three credit cards and the spending limit is 30,000 and we need to stay under that.

We can't go past our limit.

We're not going to take out new credit cards.

That's another kind of debt limit, but it's not the kind that we're talking about here.

The debt limit they're requesting is one that every single time they get near it just gets higher.

That's not a debt ceiling.

It's nothing.

It's just

a bunch of nothing.

In fact, there's even one in between there, which is where I think what we kind of have now, which is we're definitely going to take out a new credit card.

But when we get close to that credit card, let's discuss our future plans a little bit.

We're going to get a new one, but let's discuss our future plans.

Let's negotiate a little bit and try to figure out maybe we can trim some costs.

And then we get up to there and we don't do it.

And it turns into what the Democrats want is a debt ceiling, which is just a constant, like a subscription subscription service for new credit cards.

They have to come every year.

Everyone, why even ask?

Let's just have Visa send us a new card without a limit.

It's not a Visa.

It is an Amex black card that you could put anything on, and they don't call you.

No preset spending limits.

No preset spending limit.

And by the way,

they do have a plan.

Oh, okay.

They talked about it.

We need those 87,000 new IRS agents.

and the republicans stood up and went i think you're right

wow

this is

they care about you

i am so mad about this trying to get chip roy on this morning mike lee is mike lee is pissed which is like

i'm very angry right now

we're

We're going to talk to him.

I couldn't help myself.

Mitt Romney tweeted something yesterday and blood shot out of my eyes.

I had to say something.

I don't even remember what it was that I tweeted back at him, but

I am going to be so happy to help anyone running against Mitt Romney.

Anyone.

I will take an old shoe or a dog that has been strapped to the roof of Mitt Romney's car.

I whatever.

That's a very good deal.

I'm very proud of us.

Okay, thank you, Mitt.

Just heard Chip Roy is ready for us at the top of three.

I don't know if he's passionate.

I don't know if he'll have anything to say.

Where are all the Republicans like him?

It doesn't seem like there's a lot of them.

There's few.

There are a few.

There's a few.

And, you know, Chip has been great on this stuff, and he's been, you know, very outspoken.

He doesn't care.

He occasionally will take views that piss off his own side, which is something I really appreciate

from

politicians.

And he just

does not seem to care about the consequences

with his standing among

Washington elites.

He doesn't care.

He just does what he thinks is right.

He might agree with it.

He might not agree with it every time.

That's what I want.

I want somebody like Davey Crockett, who, you know, or yeah, Davy Crockett that said, you know, to hell with the rest of you, I'm going to Texas.

And he said that to Congress in Congress from the floor.

Yeah.

To hell with the rest of you, I'm going to Texas.

I want that kind of guy.

By the way, you know, we wouldn't have this problem if we, I don't know, knew the foundations of our country.

We knew that we have to build our house on stone and rock, solid rock and not on sand that's what uh this summer's museum is all about there are

uh i'm making an announcement here of a second uh city

uh first one is in st george uh we've sold almost 10 000 tickets now uh and we're almost we're reaching the max so if you want to go in st george you got to get your tickets.

It'll take you about 90 minutes to get through the museum.

I'll be there.

It's going to be great.

And it runs for about 10 days and then that's it.

And then on July 7th and 8th, so we close down July 4th and pack everything back up and we're trucking it up to a little teeny town in Idaho called Dayton.

And we're holding it at their public school, their gym, because it's the biggest building they have.

And I'm trying to help them with their building fund and also a public library, help them build that.

So that is July 7th and 8th.

There's a private dinner on both nights, only about 40 people on each night.

So it'll be you and me.

There are tours.

I'm going to be doing

a lot of these tours myself.

So make sure you get your tickets.

Again, that's Dayton, Idaho.

Dayton, Idaho.

Did I say Dayton, Ohio?

I hope not.

Dayton, Idaho, July 7th and 8th.

Get your tickets now.

These are going to sell out really quickly.

Unitedwepledge.org.

So it's in southern Idaho.

Unitedwepledge.org.

Not making any money on any of this.

Of course, it does end in a gift shop, and all that money is going to buy more things for the museum.

Of course it is.

Ask Tanya about this.

She knows any purchase made in any relation to this program is going to buy Glenmore documents.

That's the

back family.

It's like you better sell a lot of t-shirts, mister.

But all of the ticket sales are going to United We Pledge in St.

George, which is this great project around Liberty, and then

to help build a library and school in this other small town.

And then it going back into the vault, and I don't know when it will come back out again.

But

check it out, unitedwepledge.org.

Get your tickets right now.

They will sell out quickly.

And just to clarify, just go to any local Dayton.

Is that the way this works?

No.

No, it has to be a specific Dayton.

Dayton, Idaho.

Okay.

Dayton, Idaho.

So if you're anywhere in Idaho, make sure you join us this summer, the weekend right after the 4th of July.

And in St.

George, some tickets are still available.

The week before 4th of July, you can get those all at the same place.

The Glenn Back Program.

All right.

So John lives in Kansas.

Did I tell you that Chip Roy is joining us in a half hour?

We're trying to get a tranquilizer dart into him just to bring him down just a little bit.

He'll be joining us, Mike Lee, next.

John lives in Kansas.

A few years ago, he had a back injury.

Every single day, he was in pain.

Tried a number of different things to make it go away, dull it down, but nothing worked.

Fortunately, John listens to this program.

Good taste, John.

You know what you're doing.

Anyway, he heard a certain very handsome, probably the smartest guy he's ever, ever listened to.

His words, not mine, kind of.

John was skeptical at this point

because he had been living with his back pain for years.

He decided to give it a try, order the three-week quick start.

Well, son of a gun, that radio man turned out to be a genius.

He said he feels better than he did before his injury.

Am I right or am I right?

Right?

Good heavens, man.

I'm a doctor.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Now,

I want you to, if you're on the side of the road, pull over.

And I want you to notice the man who

the

tribune in his own state, a rag of a newspaper, says, he's just out of control.

He's an extremist, is coming on the air here in just a minute.

And you're going to see him flaming angry.

This is the extremist, flaming angry version

of Senator Mike Lee.

Hello, Mike.

Hey, Glenn.

I'm just chroming at the mouth here, just getting ready.

You know, I've got to live up to the hype.

I know.

And usually a flaming, angry extremist starts with, hey, Glenn.

Anyway,

Mike, I know you are really upset, and I am as well.

I think

the GOP, I've told you this for a long time, you guys have to hit it out of the park before this next election.

Otherwise, the Republicans are done.

I gave McCarthy the benefit of the doubt.

I thought he was playing it well.

What the hell happened, Mike?

What happened?

Yeah, you know,

look, the Republicans in the House got off to a really good start, and that was very complimentary of Speaker McCarthy when they passed the Limit, Save, Grow Act.

It had a lot of really good reforms in it.

Now, I don't think any of us

had any certainty that it would end up becoming law that way.

We knew it would have to go through a set of negotiations, and we would end up with something perhaps slightly less than what the Limit, Save, Grow Act proposed.

Well, not perfect.

That bill was something I was eager, willing, and ready to support uh and and could have supported even something a little less than that hold on mike hold on hold on

hold on just a second take a breath try to reel yourself back in

i just love this for anybody who ever says he's an extremist this is him hot

so go ahead so go ahead sometimes people sometimes i have to interpret people that when i say this could have been better for me that means this is absolutely horrible and And a lot of my colleagues would be using words that begin with an F.

Right.

And

then you use...

Really mad.

Right.

You use the H-word as in horrible.

Horrible.

Sometimes even heck.

That's been known to happen too.

But look, this thing,

the Limit, Save, Grow Act, as passed by the House, would have saved $1.5

or would have raised the debt ceiling by $1.5 trillion.

And it would have saved in year one alone something in the neighborhood of about $1 trillion.

And just the first year,

depending on which accounting method you use, it was either a little under, a little over $1 trillion saved in the first year alone, and would have saved about $5 trillion over the 10-year budget window.

But the New Deal just suspend the debt ceiling

until January 1st of 2025.

And many people are estimating that that means a $4 trillion debt ceiling increase.

There are other people, some on the House, are now saying that it might actually be closer to $6 trillion.

Nobody knows for sure.

What the hell?

What happened?

I mean, no Reigns Act.

I would take this exact thing if you gave me the Reigns Act.

Yeah,

I think I could go there as well.

The exact same thing, even with as weak as the other protections are, if they're true in the Reigns Act, I could probably go there.

But they took out the Reigns Act and substituted it for a regulatory pay-as-you-go measure,

which sounds pretty nice at the outset in Section 263 of the bill, until you get to Section 265 of the bill that makes clear that the director of OMB, in his own unlimited discretion, reviewable discretion, can await it.

So it doesn't really do anything.

It claims to have an automatic CR to cut spending by 1% if

spending bills aren't agreed to.

But when you read the fine print on that, as I've done, it doesn't do that.

It gives Congress a three-month

waiting period in which to enact an omnibus to get around the 1% cut altogether.

So, frankly, Glenn,

there's not a whole lot of give here.

If this is a quid pro-quo, as any negotiation between Republicans and Democrats should be, there's a whole lot of quid and not much quo.

And we got kind of screwed here.

So,

how is he defending this?

Why are others defending this?

I mean, what happens next, Mike?

Is it over?

Or have they just reversed the situation to where now the Democrats have the high ground and we again are trying to defend a hill that is just going to get bloody and we'll just get smeared?

Yeah, that's the thing is that we had achieved a lot of high ground.

Public opinion was starting to cut in our favor on this.

And had he been able to hold out for just even a few more days, I think the negotiating posture would have improved substantially.

And I think the big mistake here was moving forward with this without consulting actual conservatives who actually wanted to cut a lot of actual unnecessary spending and otherwise bring about pro-growth policies.

Instead, decided to just rely on the uniparty to do the work for them.

which has become an all too easy and common tactic here.

And perhaps he believed.

You know, know, look, I like Speaker McCarthy.

I really do.

And I've appreciated the fact that he is trying to keep me up to date on a lot of this stuff.

I think he genuinely believes that this stuff will do more than it will.

But I have this nasty habit, Glenn, of insisting on reading the operative language before I'm asked to vote on it.

And I've read it, and I don't think this does what he thinks it does.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

is there a battle between the Republicans?

And can it, I mean, I would assume the Democrats are all going to vote for this.

They say they're angry, but they're not.

You know, they get unlimited spending.

They get whatever they want, really.

So are the Democrats going to be united in this in the end?

Or is there a chance that the Democrats will split on this and the Republicans will split?

And so there's nothing that happens.

Yeah, well,

it's dangerous business to speak for any other member of Congress.

I will predict right now that you'll end up seeing this uniting Democrats in a way that it will not unite Republicans.

Correct.

I think you may well

you're likely to have more Democrats vote for this in both chambers than Republicans.

But regardless, this is something that will have the support of a lot of Democrats.

It will definitely have the support of more Democrats in the Senate than it has Republicans.

And

that should tell us something.

Look, elections are supposed to have consequences, and they should matter here.

We're negotiating this almost as if we hadn't just taken control of one House of Congress.

We had, and almost as if there hadn't been a big debate specifically on this type of legislation.

which there was and which was supposed to lead to a better result.

The other thing, Glenn, is what frustrates me about this is he's acting as if we really are under the gun, as if we have to do this.

We're not.

Or Armageddon is going to ensue.

But, you know, we're just

Secretary Yellen has now magically affirmed that the true X date in her

judgment is now June 5th.

It was June 1st, just a few days ago.

Then she moved it to June 1st.

And that's a lie, Mike.

She would, and the president would have to say, we're not paying and prioritizing what bills.

They would choose to default.

It wouldn't happen because of any negotiation.

They would have to choose to default.

Am I right or wrong?

You are right.

And it's also true that there are a number of financial analysts and policy experts in this area who look at the daily receipts and outlays, budget information put out by the Treasury Department, and say that we might well make it all the way to June 15th without actually running short on anything.

And that if we did, the influx of cash that we get from the quarterly tax payments coming in on June 15th would be more than enough to take us probably well into, if not to the end of, July.

I'm not saying we should wait till the end of the line to do this.

I've been advocating that we start on this since January.

But my point point is, why now?

Why is it all of a sudden now that they say this is imminent, it's immediate, the whole world's going to blow up?

That's not true.

We're not going to default.

Default was never really on the table.

It still isn't.

So it's better to get this right than to get it done fast under this false pretense that we have to do this immediately.

It's just not true.

Well, Mike, I thank you for fighting, and I know there's others in the Senate that are fighting against this.

But I think you should make it very clear to all those

who hate Donald Trump that you may have just handed him the

nomination for the Republican Party because

the people,

you had one shot.

You had one shot, and I think you blew your one shot.

Not you, but I'm saying the Republicans blew their one shot.

And if they don't pull this one way out of the fire, I would accept this exact deal, except with the Reigns Act.

That's not good, but it's much better than this.

And that only restores government to the way it was supposed to be in the first place.

But anyway, I digress.

I'm not as calm as you are, Mike.

But at the end of the day, Glenn, this makes me very concerned.

Look, I'll support whoever gets the nomination.

I wish Donald Trump were still president today.

If he's the nominee, I'm happy to support him.

I'm happy to support someone else if they do it too.

I worry about our ability to elect anyone president of the United States as a Republican if we do stuff like this.

Because when people look at this, they're right to ask.

No, Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?

You don't.

Democrats do.

This is the unit party in action, and it's wrong.

You don't.

You didn't hear me say that you just made him president.

I said you made him the nominee.

Whether any Republican can be,

can win now with a bunch of people like this is beyond me.

I don't know who's going to walk through a wall of fire.

I don't know who's going to say, no, well, they're doing the right thing.

The people at 62% were saying enough of the spending, enough.

And you just gave them four to six trillion dollars and no real ceiling?

This is good luck.

Good luck, Republicans.

Good luck.

Mike, thank you so much.

Thank you very much, Glenn.

You bet.

Thanks for having me out.

You bet.

Senator Mike Lee.

Now we're going to go to somebody who's known to be a little more reserved, Chip Roy.

And

we'll see if we can get him ramped up a little bit.

I tried to hold Mike back as much as possible.

I think it's interesting he signaled he'd be open to maybe just doing that Reigns Act version of this instead.

I don't know if he was saying that.

30 seconds.

Explain the Reigns Act.

Basically, we know how these

three-letter

agencies come out and just be like, hey, we're changing a rule and it's going to affect our economy by hundreds of millions and billions of dollars.

And they just do that stuff.

The Reigns Act,

one of the main things it does, is basically makes it so Congress would have to pass it.

If they're making a law that's big enough to spend, to change the economy, but I think it's over $100 million,

it has to go through Congress.

Well,

the latest is on food.

John Kerry was introducing this weekend what we have to do at the farm level, and it is

going to cause starvation.

It will.

That you will have people who cannot find food all over the world, and this one will hit us as well.

The Reigns Act would stop that.

But thank you, Speaker McCarthy, for proving that I was wrong last week and absolutely right about you when you were running.

Back in a minute.

For years now, big mobile phone companies, like so many corporations in this country, have been dumping millions of dollars of your money into leftist causes.

You think I told you about Target earlier.

Target giving $2 million of your money to GLISSIN, which is the gay and lesbian thing that is just pumping money into our schools.

And their main thing is to keep your kids' transition secret from you.

That was paid for by $2 million from Target.

I'm sick of it.

When you have an easy choice, make it.

You've already demonstrated it with Bud Light.

They're hemorrhaging.

Welcome to the Glen Vick program.

I want to give you an address of something.

If you want Target

to understand you answer to me, not to BlackRock,

go to telltargetstop.com.

TellTargetstop.com.

There's lots of things you can do there.

First, sign a petition that's going to be delivered to Chip and Joanna Gaines asking them to use their voice within within Target to help restore some sanity.

These guys are on our side, I believe.

Although Chick-fil-A just came out with their new diversity, equity, and inclusion policy.

I don't even understand that, Chick-fil-A.

I don't understand it.

It's tough because

for these things to be effective, people have to be united and focused on something.

Right?

Like Bud Light worked because people were focused on it.

Target may work as well for the same reason.

Might.

But it's a lot harder, I think.

And secondarily, I think it is going to be tough if now this week we're supposed to do Chick-fil-A and then next week.

You know what I mean?

I'm just saying.

I'm just pointing out that Chick-fil-A is doing something I don't know, but they're all folding under the pressure.

And so let's just focus.

I don't know if it will work with Target, but it's worth a try.

Telltargetstop.com, go there.

Now, make sure you're not shopping at Target if you can can all uh help it um

the the you know i just gave some news out of the 30 insurance companies that have signed on to the net zero initiative

uh 10 pulled out just last week

That's a really big deal.

The insurance companies are saying, you know, we're not doing this ESG game.

We're not going to do the net zero thing.

They were all on board.

They're now pulling out.

And this thing could collapse if we stay strong and we

pick and choose who we're going to, you know, stop using.

And we do it together in lockstep.

I got to tell you, you'll change everything.

Chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life.

Botox, onabotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.

It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection side pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor, visit BotoxchronicMigraine.com, or call 1-800-44-Botox to learn more.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

I'm going to get right to Chip Roy because he's on a

tight schedule here.

So let's go to Chip now.

Hello, Chip.

How are you?

Glenn, I'm doing great.

Great to be on.

And yeah, I'm on a tight schedule because we got to go fight, try to stop this thing, but happy to be on the show.

Yeah, so

I really think that Speaker McCarthy has just given the nomination to Donald Trump for any of these weasels who are like, I don't want Donald Trump

because he's an extremist.

You just gave him the nomination, in my opinion.

Not that Florida,

Ron DeSantis is going to agree with this deal, but nobody's going to trust the Republicans after this.

We gave you the benefit of the doubt, McCarthy, and this is what you return?

It's what, $4 trillion, or is it $6 trillion that they can raise the debt ceiling up to in the next couple of years?

Well, let's just take it piece by piece.

I mean, look, you're right that this is, I think, a terrible quote-unquote deal.

And for your listeners out there who are who are smarter than the average listener, what we get is a date certain for a debt ceiling increase, January 1st, 2025.

There is no actual dollar amount.

So what that means is you essentially have an uncapped increase in the debt ceiling to a date certain.

That date certain happens to fall in the middle of a lame duck Congress, by the way, right, or a lame duck presidency, if we're lucky.

What do we get for that probably $4 trillion of additional debt or more, depending on what happens with it being uncapped and able to be potentially extended?

We get at best, in my opinion, if I'm being as generous as I can be to the people that negotiated this, is a two-year freeze in spending.

A two-year freeze in spending, roughly.

It might go up a little, might be down a little, but it's basically a freeze, truly.

And that's only for two years of actual caps and for that you know you're going to see a slight bending of the post covet curve now what does that mean you'll see in the wall street journal you see all these people out there saying hey they're bending the curve this is historic they're flattening it yeah we heard all that same crap during covet by the way this is just taking the post covet spending and freezing it for a couple of years while uh we continue to feed the beast the federal bureaucracy and we do nothing nothing to end the IRA subsidized unreliable energy.

We have minor work requirements.

We basically increase the age for SNAP and TANIP from 49 to 54 and call that a win while not touching Medicaid.

We have no Reigns Act pulling back the regulatory state.

We get something called administration PAYGO to offset the costly regulations, but they can waive it, which means it's nothing.

We uphold the student loans and punt it to the courts to make the decisions about the $500 billion of picking winners and losers in student loans.

The IRS stays expanded, minus basically $1.4 billion.

You really can't make this up.

And with all due respect to the leadership, they say it's historic.

They miscalculated.

They slipped into their old ways.

I am going to meet with them today.

I'm going to keep fighting.

I'm trying to make it clear that I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that this wasn't sinister, that they just slipped into their old ways.

And they're like, well, we got to do a deal.

Yeah, you can't do that.

The no votes for Mountain.

And if you're a listener out there, make sure every one of your members of Congress know, get their voice.

Your voices need to be heard.

Vote no on this.

We can still kill this and start over and do the right thing.

I mean, I'd take this if you had the Reigns Act, but you got nothing.

You got nothing.

You have no reins, if you will, on this horse that is just being whipped to death in spending.

Correct.

I mean, that is 100% correct.

We got, out of the deal that we did, Limit, Save, Grow, for a $1.5 trillion debt ceiling increase into early next year, we got a lot of really good things.

Now, look, I'm not saying whether I think we could have gotten every single piece of that.

I understand we've got to negotiate.

I think that was the right starting place.

But you tell me you're going to go jack this out two years to almost $4 trillion,

and you're going to get literally not one actual full thing on the list of of stuff we put in the Limit, Save, Grow Act.

Not one thing.

Everything was like some fractional piece of something on the list so they could say they did something, right?

$1.4 billion off of the $80 billion of the IRS.

And then say, see, we did something for the IRS.

No, you left $78.6 billion of expanded IRS in place over 10 years.

And you're trying to sell that to me as a victory.

That's just not correct.

This is old swamp thinking.

This is a a new correct thinking.

Let's just cut the crap.

Old swamp thinking, nothing is changing with the Republican Party because the leadership, they're all swamp monsters.

They're all swamp monsters.

And until those swamp

monsters are put back out to pasture, you're not going to have anything change.

You're not.

You have a lot of good Republicans like you that have come up and they actually mean what they say and say say what they mean.

But

until those swamp monsters are taken out and

let them go to their nursing homes, nothing's going to change.

I don't know why we should give them the benefit of the doubt that, oh, you know, it's just,

oh, we made a mistake.

What?

You had everything going for you.

Everything.

Now, now, now what's going to happen?

The president made a deal.

He compromised.

Now the Republicans are, it's just these extremists being holding hostage the Republican Party.

It's the same thing over again.

Yeah, Glenn, look, I agree with every word of it.

Just make sure I'm being very clear here.

I personally think this was a complete and total sellout of everything that we accomplished in January, everything that we did in the first limit, save, and grow act, and everything we accomplished with HR2.

You're right.

I think it is a betrayal of the power sharing arrangement we put in place that would protect the Republican Party to make sure we could advance the ball forward.

We are not blind to the fact that we have to figure out how to get 218 votes.

We understand that's hard.

We had a process that was working.

That process was completely abandoned last week.

The deal was cut, and that was a betrayal of the agreement that we had reached in order to create something that we thought would work.

That's what I'm getting at.

I'm going to try to fix that today.

If I cannot, in the rules committee, when I go fight this in the rules committee, if I can't kill it, if we can't kill it on the floor tomorrow, then we're going to have to then regroup and figure out the whole leadership arrangement again.

I was going to say, you got it.

McCarthy, I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

I wasn't for him.

I thought he was a swamp monster.

And just last week, I'm like, you know what?

I think I got to give him credit.

He's playing this very well.

Now he's just betrayed me.

Again,

I give the benefit of the doubt to the Republican, and they just shive me in the chest.

So I want to be as clear as I can be.

This is not the end of this.

This is the process that we started in January.

We showed that you can govern conservatively and win.

We did it.

We were doing it.

They abandoned it.

It is our job now to course correct.

Again, I've got, you know,

not to quote Rumsfeld, an old bushy, but you go to war with the army, you got, look, the bottom line is we were winning and we were demonstrating how to govern conservatively.

So we're going to go do that today.

We're going to have a press conference in 45 minutes.

The 20 are strong.

There are others that are with us.

We are going to make our message be loud and clear.

I'm going to make my message loud and clear in the rules committee.

And then we will keep moving forward, trying to earn votes and try to build up where we need to head to do exactly what you just said.

We've got to make sure the American people are inspired.

What I was trying to tell Republicans here is if we lose and we lose the vote because we get rolled, make it be the Dems and the squishes in our conference that roll us.

Don't go and

roll and cut a deal and then go try to sell me that it's not

selling me out because that's what they're doing.

They're trying to snow me.

Always trying to snow the American people and say, oh, this is a great deal.

Always.

It is not.

You know, that chart that's going around that I put out on my Twitter account, social media, where I make very clear the side-by-side comparison of where we were and where we ended up.

And it's not even close.

No.

I know you have to run.

So what do you want the American people to do?

Anybody who still, I mean, honestly, I don't know how many times you guys can say, call your congressman, because, I mean, really, we have.

Well, let me back up and just say.

For five months, we actually were winning.

H.R.2 was, in fact, an historic position for Republicans to take on the border.

The First Limit, Save, Grow Act, that was a pretty historic bill.

So now

they abandoned us.

They failed.

They cut a bad deal.

It hasn't been passed yet.

Just get involved over the next 48 hours.

Make sure every Republican knows this is a bad deal.

Make your voice heard loudly.

Do it on social media.

Do it to their offices.

We are going to fight up here, and then we're going to regroup and figure out what the next step is to hold the line and make sure we're going to get our leadership arrangement such that it's reflecting conservative principles again.

I promise we're going to keep fighting.

The 20 aren't flinching, Glenn.

We're just starting.

Good.

Love to have you and anybody else in that 20 that would like to come in and talk tomorrow about the progress because we have 48 hours.

I'd love to have you back tomorrow, Chip, and just give us an update.

Thank you.

Either I'll do it or someone else.

Thank you so much.

Bye-bye.

That is the problem.

We do have people in there that are really fighting hard.

For the first time, I think we have 20 people that will stand.

But it's all these MAMBI-PAMBI-Wishy-Wash.

Look what the left has done to the country.

Why?

Because they will sell out every principle they have.

They don't care who they stand with.

And they're standing with Marxists.

Well, I think we should give them some more money.

I mean, I don't think it's, I mean, I don't want to be an extremist.

You're being an extremist.

You're standing for the Constitution.

What is wrong with the American people?

When did the Constitution, the longest running Constitution in all of the history of man, the average Constitution, last 17 years.

Back in a minute.

It was so nice to be in a town where

people were kind to each other.

I had somebody cut me off in traffic.

Not kidding.

Somebody cut me off, took a U-turn, really dangerous U-turn, right in front of me just to get in line.

You know what they did?

They got out of their car and I'm like, oh, dear God, they're getting out of their car.

They got out of their car, came to the window, and said, just want to apologize.

That was really wrong.

Really sorry.

And I'm like, what are you would you guys do you want any coffee or anything like what are you

10 seconds station ID.

So the Texas House voted to impeach in the fastest impeachment I've ever seen in my life.

Last, what was it, last Monday, you had the Republican House leader stand up and

run a session like

another bill.

Okay.

Seemingly drunk.

Seemingly very drunk.

Ken Paxton came out and said he should be removed for being hammered.

Okay.

Next day,

I reason

Cam Paxton.

And they do it.

They impeach him.

In like three days.

Three days.

I don't even know what happened.

It was like, what?

Wait, hold it.

What?

I mean, they had this investigation, I guess, going on for a long time

to look into accusations against Paxton.

But like, yeah, I mean, it was, and we're in Texas.

And, you know, you might know Ken Paxton if you're somewhere else.

One of the best attorney generals in the nation.

Right.

Like, you don't normally know what another state's attorney general is, but people do know him because he's done a lot of, you know, really conservative things.

No, if he's, if he's guilty of a crime or something,

that's fine.

I'm no allegiance to anybody.

You pay for your crime.

But that was just kind of, I thought that was adjudicated here by the voters.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

They had a chance to take him out a few days ago, and they didn't.

They chose to keep him.

Right.

And then now he's getting impeached.

By his own party.

His own party for things he did before the election.

And

the guy who was pushing it in the House is the biggest rhino of them all.

He's now, he's currently fighting the governor.

over the biggest tax increase in Texas history.

And he's also one of the guys responsible for killing the school choice.

Yeah.

I mean, this guy is, this guy, you know, makes Mitt Romney Romney blush.

He's like,

he's like following me.

That's who you have running the Texas House.

That guy is the guy that should be

impeached or voted out.

He certainly should not be the head of the Republican House.

But

dirty deals.

I'm telling you, the GOP.

If, if, if, if there were only some Democrats that actually believed in this country still,

that would stand up, five that would stand up and have the balls to stand up with five Republicans and say, neither one of you, neither the GOP or the Democrats are serious about saving this country.

You're only worried about you.

your money, saving your hide.

And so many of you are dirty.

We all took the same oath, and they may be Democrats, and I may be a Republican or an Independent, but we're standing together because this is destroying our country.

Telling you,

that would be a beginning of a new party, and the GOP would go away.

That's exactly how the GOP made the Whig Party go away.

And it'd be done again, but you got to have bipartisan support.

You got to have somebody who's a Democrat that sees it.

And then you got to have people who are willing to go in and go, screw you all.

I mean, I'm not just, I'm not going to watch my country burn down to ground anymore.

Not going to do it.

I, for one, Glenn, I'm interested to see how all this will play out.

Thank you for reminding me of that.

It's tough to remind.

I know.

That's the only way I can get through life anymore.

That is my, that's my new approach on everything.

On everything.

Kids, everything.

You know, hey, you've got an inoperable tumor.

Well, it's going to be interesting to see how that turns out.

You know, you just take that attitude, everything's fine.

Everything seems fine.

I don't know if it solves all your problems, but it sure makes you good, makes you feel good until everything explodes.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

You know, that's all you can do.

i mean until you're actually closing your eyes because of the tumor right you know you're good up until that moment then you're like oh crap i should have done something yeah but

kind of treat the world as if you're just kind of watching a tv show right like an observer you're an observer you're answering

a tv show this this is it's all theater i mean this debt falls all theater all theater it seems like the same thing with paxton i mean you know like again like the republicans really had a problem with whatever he is whatever he they say he did well, you could have, you know, done something about it before the election, but they wanted to not, they didn't want to lose the

win, I guess.

Yeah, and his base.

Right.

So people who would go wait a minute.

Yeah.

So they would leave him in there, and then the voters say, okay, we've looked at this and we say he's okay.

We want him back in office.

And they're like, oh, no, you can't have him.

Yeah, I know you just voted for him.

Now we're going to get him out of there.

Like, it's just so disingenuous.

Even

though you have something on the guy, which I don't know.

The lieutenant governor of Texas, you have the opportunity to crush now if you are dirt strong as an attorney general.

Okay, let me tell you about Legacy Box.

Childhood memories are kind of funny things.

The older you get, the more distance you put between you now and who you were then, the fuzzier the memory gets.

It's kind of a shame because,

I mean, I bet you have some favorite memories.

How many of those memories were caught on film or videotape?

Do you have a Y to watch any of those anymore?

They don't, you know, they don't make VCRs anymore.

They don't make stuff that half of my cassettes are on.

And I don't even know what's on them anymore.

And they just do what everybody does.

It's either sitting in the attic or it's sitting in the basement, two worst places you could do, only surpassed by the garage.

Well, let me just talk to you a little bit about

You Think You're Hungry Now.

Joe Biden's special presidential envoy for climate,

Senator John Kerry,

made a revelation

this month as he spoke about the need to, quote, transform the way food is produced

in order to lower emissions.

This is the next shoe in the Great Reset.

It's the new crusade for climate activists.

Food production.

The emissions have got to be reduced.

Have to.

I mean, most people, well, let me just quote him.

A lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world, depending a little bit on how you count it, but anywhere from 26 to 33%.

And we can't get to net zero.

We don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.

So all of us understand here the depths of this mission.

Reduction in fertilizer, land use,

and cows are a big push to seek the to reduce the emissions created by our food production, our food production.

One idea that has been put forth to

help reduce methane

is to shift to eating bugs.

Another idea is to feed cows bugs to reduce fertilizer emissions generated by growing food for cows.

So either you'll eat the bugs or you'll eat the cows that were raised on bugs.

John Kerry said the agricultural sector, quote, needs innovation now more than ever.

We're facing record malnutrition

at a time when agriculture, more than any other sector, is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis.

He said

residents of Earth had only nine years

left.

Nine years.

Nine years left.

That's it.

And I refuse to call climate change anymore.

It's not change.

It's a crisis.

There are scientists who will tell you today the probability of a large portion of Africa that is a huge food supplier to the continent could implode in terms of agricultural capacity if we don't get under control of what we're doing.

15 million people are dying every single year around the planet as a consequence of greenhouse gas emissions.

Wow.

I'd like to see that.

In the atmosphere, in the air, which travels around at drops in the form of pollution, warming the ocean at a record rate, changing the chemistry of the ocean itself.

Without action, millions of lives and livelihood on the planet and parts of the world climate crisis has

now got growth in agricultural yields by as much as 40%.

Wow.

Now, he was speaking to, let me ask him:

if you want to transform

agriculture our food process

from quoting them not me

from seed

to fork

who are the first people you're going to invite to the table

uh klaus schwab

would be my first exactly anyone from the world economic forum when do you get to the farmers oh uh

last i would say last well just tell them what to do because they're stupid.

Right.

That's the point.

They have knowledge partners, Stu.

Oh, good.

Knowledge partners.

And these knowledge partners are meant to share best practices to increase the equitable diffusion and positive returns to agricultural innovation efforts focused on adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate change.

It's got to be flexible, inclusive, and targeted

collaboration, focused on specific innovation areas, guided by the values of openness and transparency.

It is great.

This always works out well.

You know, when you take the people,

like, for example, if you were to put a system together where all you did was listen to quote-unquote experts and let's say health.

And then not at all listen to what parents wanted, maybe put the teachers' unions in there, a bunch of other groups that are, but never asked the parents or the kids.

And then afterward, the kids, you know,

have their educational lives destroyed by the policies implemented by the health officials that have no educational expertise whatsoever.

That would be an interesting system to try.

I'd be interested to see how that would work out.

Has that test ever been done?

You know, I think it was once.

Maybe let's say globally.

Globally, globally, though.

Yeah, globally in 2020 and 2021.

Yeah.

And we've seen that.

It was a different world back then.

Oh, yeah.

The repercussions of it were terrible, but of course they'd be different this time.

Well, of course, it always is.

I mean, for instance, I could go back in history and say exactly what has been done here.

This isn't new.

I mean, they're calling it new,

but this is the Department of Agriculture, the U.S.

Department of Agriculture.

in league with the United Nations Climate Change Conference or COP28

that's coming up in November.

They're just getting ready for that.

Now,

I don't know.

Maybe it was COP 1 or 2.

I'm not sure.

But Mao tried this

back in the 50s and 60s.

It was his five-year plan to transform farming.

Yeah.

And,

you know, okay, there were 5 million deaths.

But when the experts came to him and said, hey, this is really not working out, he said, because you haven't tried hard enough.

And so they did it for the full five years and millions starved to death.

But I think that was different back then.

That was different.

The experts were different.

Eggs, omelets, you know how they say.

You got to break a couple.

They learned some important lessons, which we will not learn from.

But they learned some important lessons with those millions dead.

You know, some could say that this is exactly what happened in the soviet union you know strangely

two communist marxist uh countries that tried this very thing

it's weird uh but they you know of course the farmers didn't know anything so they killed the farmers uh and then they just got some you know elites to go in and farm which they know everything about farming everything

Everything.

Oh, yeah.

You know, because they've studied it in a textbook.

Yeah.

And people who, you know, put on suits and and uniforms and go work for the government for 30, 40 years have a real sense of working with their hands.

You know, getting their hands dirty in the real world.

Oh, yeah.

They understand that stuff really well.

It always goes well when they micromanage it.

It'd be great.

I think farmers would be good if they were made up of lawyers.

Because every time the crop failed, they could sue them.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

I'm suing that corn.

Right.

And that corn would learn its lesson.

It would, and it would grow next time.

It'd be great.

You know, I keep coming back to the idea that, you know, there, there wouldn't be all these farming problems if it wasn't for all these farmers.

Amen, brother.

You know, just

to learn all the steps out of the communist playbook.

Let's just learn.

Well, I was thinking that there's, you know, we wouldn't have a problem with all these Republicans or, you know, all these poor people if we just got rid of all the Republicans and the poor people.

Easy peasy.

Yeah.

You know?

So, I mean, that really stops the problem pretty quickly.

It does.

And it always works out well.

I know China's done it.

I I mean, the Soviets did it.

You know, the Holonym War was a really good experiment in that.

And they have had no problems with Ukraine since.

So I think John Kerry's got it fixed.

Because I mean, when I think of somebody who understands farming, I think of John Kerry.

Oh, yeah.

You know, every time I see him parasailing off the shores of Nantucket, I think.

No,

windsailing.

What was it?

Windsurfing?

I can't remember which one.

I misremember that picture of

it in the middle of that.

But yeah, windsurfing windsurfing off the shores of Nantucket.

I think here's a man who's whose next step is to make sure he's got manure and he's in fertilizer.

He's out there in the fields working hard to make sure that your food gets to you.

He's up to his neck in fertilizer most times.

That I will agree with.

And he's a guy who likes to get his hands dirty.

You know, I can see him all the time getting in his hands in the soil.

You know,

doing manual

labor.

That's the John Kerry, Teresa Heinz Kerry way.

Yeah.

I will tell you that

I will tell you that I would like to send him someplace where he's doing hard manual labor.

I'd like to send a lot of these people into a place to work like a farm, you know,

of sorts.

Of sorts.

Yeah.

You know, with lodging, obviously.

Of course, we got to provide lodging and three squares.

Yeah.

Three squares for those.

You know, Glenn, I like those open environments where like, you know, even though it might be a small area, you can see for a long distance between like, you know, like bars.

You know, like the bars come down and you can see right through the bottom.

It's really

kind of old school, but I like that kind of feel.

Yeah.

So Jane Fonda, she was at the Con Film Festival, Con

being the operative word.

Oh, it's spelled with an A.

She said, climate change is very serious.

It's very serious.

We have about seven or eight years to cut ourselves in half of what we use of fossil fuels.

Unfortunately, the people that have the least responsibility for it are hit the hardest.

The global south, the people on islands, poor people of color.

It's a tragedy that we absolutely have to stop.

We have to arrest and jail these men.

They're all men behind this.

We have to arrest them and jail them.

I'm quoting her.

And that's why she didn't actually go to the Khan Film Festival.

She did it virtually because of all of the carbon that she would have just expelled into the atmosphere to go over for a stupid film festival.

You know, and the cars and the planes and the, oh my gosh.

It always is men.

It's good for us all to realize there would be no climate crisis.

I mean, I can't even read this with a straight face.

It's good for us to realize that there would be no climate crisis if?

If.

No guess?

No fill in the blank?

No climate crisis if

only one thing.

It wasn't for all that capitalism.

Oh, now that would make sense.

No climate crisis if there was no racism.

Oh,

there would be no climate crisis if there were no patriarchy.

I think I'm close on this one.

White men are the things that matter, and then everything else is at the bottom.

You can take everything, racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war.

If you really get in it and study it and learn about it and the history of it, everything's connected.

There would be no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism.

Wow.

She's nailed us.

She's nailed us as a white man.

Woo!

Did she get that one right?

Folks thought the climate was racist, you know, seems to be doing such a terrible job helping minorities and doing such a great job enriching whites.

And that's what the climate's been doing for thousands and thousands of years.

I mean,

hopefully, you know, all you poor people.

Turn off the radio for a minute because just us rich white men are going to listen.

They can't hear us.

They don't have radios.

Oh, it's like a dog.

Oh, they don't have radios.

Yeah, they're too poor.

Okay, yeah.

Well, they couldn't understand it anyway.

They're so stupid.

But if you're a white man, we all know, right?

Am I right?

That's the only reason why I spray hairspray, aerosol, hairspray into the eyes of bunnies

just to be able to get the earth to heat up some, you know?

Well, also to hurt the bunnies.

Let's not minimize that.

Well, I mean,

it's kind of a satisfying kind of

side benefit

to see the

bunnies.

It's a little bit central to the mission.

No, the mission is just to get the planet to heat up so everyone will starve except for us.

Right.

And we know exactly what that amount is.

So we're just going to keep working on that project, all of us together here listening.

And I guess if you happen to have, if we're a poor person and you've recently stolen a radio, you can turn it back on now, though it would be difficult to know that because you weren't listening.

But just so you know.

They're so stupid, they wouldn't know how to turn it back on anyway.

Yeah, that's a good point.

By the way, the people who run the fossil fuel industry, and she said I might add, the politicians that they bought off who haven't had, quote, the gumption to stand up for the climate.

She said, I want to see some sort of Nuremberg trial for climate criminals.

Yeah.

So look out, gang.

If you're a white man.

Oh, is that RFK Jr.?

Is he talking?

I'm sorry.

Is he Is he

laying out his new policies?

I got a prediction for you on that.

Let me pray.

Can I just completely abandon it because he's getting support for the

good prediction for you.

Good Ranchers is here.

Summer is here.
