Starting point is 00:00:00 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 and Joe Scarborough, oh, gosh, darn it. They went to kiss the ring of Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:00:30 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 Preborn. 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
Starting point is 00:01:06 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
Starting point is 00:01:21 the right thing to do because they're talking about the moms and the babies. Right now, for $28 you can sponsor an ultra That doubles the chance that mom will choose life and through a match your tax deductible gift will be doubled So preborn also supplies moms with diapers car seats counseling books I mean everything I'm incredibly proud to to work with preborn 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
Starting point is 00:01:57 And babies are worth fighting for Maybe you can make a monthly donation of $28. It donates securely at pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com slash Beck. It's preborn. It's preborn.com slash Beck. All gifts are tax deductible and preborn has a four-star charity rating.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Fight, fight, fight for the babies. Sponsored by Preborn. You're listening to the best of the Glenbeck program. It was actually fun. Almost, almost went to the UFC fight at Madison Square Garden. Oh, really? Yeah. Have you ever done that before?
Starting point is 00:02:43 You ever go to an 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, that, dot, that, dot, dot. And I'm like, all right, let's check it out.
Starting point is 00:02:58 $1,200 a seat. And it was like nosebleed. And I'm like, nope, uh-uh. Cheapest one really, your get in price was $1,200. 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 White Tyson Jake Paul fight, which was right here in Dallas. And the get in price was not that ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:03:21 It was, I mean, you know, less than $100. Oh, wow. But you were so far, 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 boxing shorts is somebody that just needs to get clipped by Mike Tyson. Million dollar shorts. Yeah. You don't think that was, you know. I don't think that was. No, I don't think that was. Legitimately million dollar shorts. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I know. Yeah, I find it, I can I say one quick thing about that? Because I grew up like with Mike Tyson. Like that was my era. Like, you know, I loved Rocky movies. Until the rape, I'm assuming. Well, yeah. And I feel like people forgot.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Again, I understand that he could denies that. He said. He says, I think his quote is basically like something like, I didn't do that, but I did so many other things that were probably even with all the jail time. So, okay, whatever, we'll take him. We take him as his word, maybe that he's reformed or whatever. But like, this is a convicted rapist. And everyone's like, this damn influencer. Hey, wait they selling prime, prime drinks.
Starting point is 00:04:36 This bastard! Like, I'm 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. It might be a strange development in our society. I mean, it is, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:04:49 I'm sorry. You put me in a ring with a guy in a wheelchair. I'll probably be able to beat him. 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
Starting point is 00:05:05 punching that guy in the face. Just punching ball. 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 for a living.
Starting point is 00:05:19 You might not care. I'm just no. Like, I sense the hatred toward this guy from everybody. And it's like, I just didn't like, I just don't like it. I didn't like. I didn't like, you know, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's. It's just, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it. He did it. He wanted it.
Starting point is 00:05:40 But anyway. And I will say, like, Jake Paul's beaten some fighters that are younger and, you know, M.M.A. Like, M.MA stars. He's beaten. It's funny. I was, 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.
Starting point is 00:06:07 There's no way he's beating. a 27-year-old that can actually throw punches. No. I went from having no idea what was going to happen to being fully convinced unless it was fixed that Paul was going to win. He has fought people that are not, you know, that are his age. They cream him. No, that's not true at all.
Starting point is 00:06:26 This is what got 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.
Starting point is 00:06:55 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. no way. And of course that is wound up happening. Though I will say what you're, what you're, what you're, what you're, what you're, what you alluded to earlier was the word.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I know, I'm 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. No, I know it is. It is because I liked watching, uh, the mailboxers go at it.
Starting point is 00:07:30 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 was 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.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I don't want to see it. 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.
Starting point is 00:08:12 I'm smoked. I'm really smoked. That's really bad. I don't know if you saw when Trump entered Madison Square Garden. He brought the whole posse with him. Oh, yeah? Cut 31. Gentlemen, look, who is now making his way to the world famous Octagon by UFC CEO, Dana White.
Starting point is 00:08:32 45, soon to be 47. But look who's behind him. That Musk? It's hard to see. That's Musk. That's Johnson. The vague is in that. Tulsi Gabbard is in that.
Starting point is 00:08:50 He apparently was in Washington. It's like, hey, everybody get on the plane. We're going to go. Or wherever we won, Washington or Florida. Or Florida. That's funny because when I was watching Tyson, Highland, lights leading up to the fight on Friday. This is the same thing that used to happen in the 1980s.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Tyson would be walking in with his same response. It was exactly the same as 1986. Yeah. 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, this reception to, I think, most of people in the media at Madison Square Garden. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, this was another, this was just, this was a disguised Nazi rally.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Oh. So that's why they welcomed him like that. There he is. Hugging Joe Rogan. I mean, it is. Oh, okay. And then let me show you after you had, where is it? Here, John Jones gives, it's 26.
Starting point is 00:09:58 He hands him the bell. Did you see any of this? It was nuts. It was absolutely nuts. Everybody was a Trump's supporter. Like, everybody seemed to be a Trump supporter. Yeah. I mean, it was really bizarre. And then did you see the, the people, do I have anything from any of the touchdowns from this weekend? Uh, like people were making touchdowns this weekend. They're doing the Trump dance. Yeah. I saw that from a few,
Starting point is 00:10:30 from a few people. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, play, uh, uh, here, play right after the fight, cut 25. Like a light heavy weight. And I think that's a 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. It was, 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.
Starting point is 00:11:04 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.
Starting point is 00:11:19 No, that makes sense. It's nuts. It's so crazy that Joe and Mika are flying down to meet with him to try to restore their... No. No, they are not. Yes, they are. They were just calling him fascist every day for two years.
Starting point is 00:11:37 I know. I know. Now they're going to try to repair the relationship. They're going to try to repair the relationship. He, this is the type of. of stuff that Trump loves. Like, he loves people groveling like that. That is going to be adorable.
Starting point is 00:11:49 I can't wait for that one. There will be some interesting tweets, I will say, afterward. That's, it's, 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 know. And I was trying to understand it's like, is it?
Starting point is 00:12:13 a Donald Trump thing where people were just like, 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
Starting point is 00:12:25 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
Starting point is 00:12:39 in this environment, like where you're joking, you're bust on 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'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.
Starting point is 00:12:58 All those things. You're a rebel. Right. The left now says if you do any of that stuff, you're canceled. Right. Like 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,
Starting point is 00:13:22 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. 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.
Starting point is 00:13:51 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 as assets and buying gold. They are trying to crash the dollar and replace it with their own gold-back, bricks-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.
Starting point is 00:14:24 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 weren't all, 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. 890-957 gold. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So we're just talking about, you know, what's going on joined by Pat Gray. What's going on with,
Starting point is 00:15:14 the media and what's going on with the possibilities of, I mean, you've got John Thune coming out now against a few of the cabinet picks. And, you know, you're kind of like, I don't like John Thune, but I mean, kind of, I mean. He has a body of a Greek god. That's right. That's who that was. We learned that from Arlen Specter at the Senate Bath House. came in naked as a Jayburn.
Starting point is 00:15:45 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 Ireland Spector book. Most of that, I should say most of that was right.
Starting point is 00:15:59 It's a loose quote. The other one that is now making noise saying, free, I can do whatever I want, is McConnell. And McConnell is, 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.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Because I got the impression. Can you correct me if you think I'm analyzing this wrong? But like 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's like,
Starting point is 00:16:45 look, I'll stay out of this. I guarantee you that deal was done. I can't guarantee it, but I don't know. Yeah, that deal happened. And the way the picks came out
Starting point is 00:16:53 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,
Starting point is 00:17:03 it's like, Matt Gates, RFK Jr. Like he started rattling off all the people you knew Thune wouldn't vote for. Right. So,
Starting point is 00:17:09 and Thun is, 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 because I really don't understand not endorsing Rick Scott then, right? Like, it doesn't make any sense to me. It could be that Foon is just, you know, just got the job, but now he's lying.
Starting point is 00:17:31 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 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... At their own network where you
Starting point is 00:17:54 were on the air? No, Fox. But I was. They should have gone in 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 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. And I'm like, they cut it down. We got some of them. Wait a little bit. We fought.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Okay. So 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. Okay. I still stand by that. We know there's no change.
Starting point is 00:18:35 We can see. There's no change whatsoever. Wait a minute. There's no change whatsoever. If I want to be a fat, 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.
Starting point is 00:18:58 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. He was another one who was doing that on the report. Republican side. You know what I am? I surprisingly use is the calorie counter on the menus. Yeah. 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. I mean, it has a thousand calories as opposed to 400. I'm going with the thousand calorie.
Starting point is 00:19:30 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. I'm not raising my hand. I care about having the choice whether I should have fluoride in the water. That's not the question. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:51 The question is, are you worried about the fluoride in your water? Not really. Not really. Okay. So do I know that fluoride is safe for the water? No. No. I don't have any idea.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Based on everything else's government is 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, 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'd use. Right, toothpaste.
Starting point is 00:20:39 You didn't 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.
Starting point is 00:21:01 It's just not a huge concern for me, honestly, either way. But I feel like people have toothpaste and access to it. fluoride, just put to use toothpaste as a topping for your ice cream. Just put it in another. If you don't have a problem with it, you want more of it, go ahead. Yeah, you put as much as you want. You can eat toothpaste by the tube. Keeping in mind, it is somewhat toxic.
Starting point is 00:21:21 There are levels. If you squeeze the whole tube and you're eating the tube, it might not be good for it. By the way, at certain doses, so is water. Right, right. So, like, again, it's all about the dose. And, like, I guess, it's just, it's just one of those things that, like, becomes this big issue and I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:40 For me, I don't really care about it either way all that much. I know a lot of people are, 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.
Starting point is 00:22:02 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.
Starting point is 00:22:20 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.
Starting point is 00:22:50 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 food. Isn't that the right approach? shouldn't Canada in 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.
Starting point is 00:23:19 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?
Starting point is 00:23:38 Buy product. Okay. So that's a good art. 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.
Starting point is 00:23:54 The reason they're doing in Canada is because 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. 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. Okay. And I don't think any of us are coming to the table being like, I think the most healthy
Starting point is 00:24:11 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 different you know alternate things like the simply Cheetos for example now
Starting point is 00:24:39 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
Starting point is 00:24:55 more consistent conservative approach rather than begging for Canadian and European style regulations I think that's a terrible approach. And I'm concerned that this, we could go down the wrong roads. Here's my approach. Abolished the FDA. I mean, I am much closer to that position. But like, I can't, 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.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Yeah. I want the free market to work. And, you know, if fruit loops, you know, have 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. It's fine. 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.
Starting point is 00:26:00 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,
Starting point is 00:26:20 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 produce the chemotherapy drugs. That's when the government would come in
Starting point is 00:26:40 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
Starting point is 00:26:56 about it. I don't want that. Except for drugs. It's so weird. Except for, except for pharmaceuticals. They are so far ahead of us. They're drugs you cannot get here that you can. When you know, your trial, you know, people go over for experimental stuff over in Europe all the time. And Trump did help fix a lot of that. Which again, I think it's where you fall back to on a lot of this stuff, right?
Starting point is 00:27:20 Like Trump, if he, if it's something he cares about, which I think a lot of the stuff would be, he's not going to let RFK Jr. go crazy. He cares about global warming. He says that's the biggest scam ever in human history. He'll not let him. I'll be shocked if RFK Jr. starts like, hey, global warming is a health crisis. I'm HHS health. Like the Democrats would do stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:27:45 RFK Jr. given free reign would do stuff like that. Trump won't allow stuff like that. 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 people that think a lot more like RFK Jr? Oh, hopefully. Trump can't monitor every one of those hires.
Starting point is 00:28:03 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. Chip Roy, how are you, sir? Glenn, I'm doing great. How are you, brother?
Starting point is 00:28:21 I am really good. How are you feeling about what's going on now in Washington? What's it feel like there? 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.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I'm feeling good about the direction of where the president is going with what I have described as disruptors. Yes. As nominees, people who will challenge the status quo, take on the swamp, train the swamp, whatever language you want to use. People who get it, they want to change things from B. From B.Ex, up, to Bobby Kennedy and everybody in between. But to be clear, I'm not saying I agree with all these people on every issue. Neither do you.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Exactly right. Yep. What we need is people who are going to rock the boat up here. You know, 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 the line last week.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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, 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.
Starting point is 00:29:35 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. you know, cap lifted so that Yankee,
Starting point is 00:30:01 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,
Starting point is 00:30:29 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 on January 3rd. There's time between, you know, after that on how we're going to perform. But Mike's a friend.
Starting point is 00:30:53 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.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Some of us didn't, but the motion to vacate was agreed to live from one to nine. The bottom line, 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.
Starting point is 00:31:46 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. Genuinely believe that, getting us in a room to try to figure it out. But we still have work to do, okay? November, what is today? the 17th or 18th or 18th? Yeah, 18th.
Starting point is 00:32:02 You know, 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.
Starting point is 00:32:29 do that many. Yes, you can. Bill Clinton did it back in the 90s. Well, go ahead, Congressman. Yeah, 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, Majorcas regime, they need to be removed. They need to be deported. That is the starting place. I 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.
Starting point is 00:33:05 They just came in and were gotaways. No problem. No problem going through and figuring I had to establish fees to pay for all this stuff, forced this all to a decision point, and 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.
Starting point is 00:33:34 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. You know, deport massive numbers of these. Then tell me who's left who want to achieve the American dream.
Starting point is 00:33:59 through hard work, not through handouts. Then I will, 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.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Concentration camps where like just trucks are just, you know, riding up into Hispanic communities and going house to house and searching. Like, this happens without, without. all that nonsense, right? I mean, this is, this is, yeah, how does this work, exactly, Chip? Well, I don't want to get in front of the great guys like Tom Holman 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
Starting point is 00:34:48 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, one 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.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Right. 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, relief 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 home in there's borders are. Brendan Carr at the FCC.
Starting point is 00:35:40 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, and 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.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Oh, I agree. A huge fan of him. I've never been a fan of anyone at the FCC and tell 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 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 they left out one thing. Is he here illegally?
Starting point is 00:36:45 Do you know or can you find out? I mean, it happened here in Texas. Yeah, we've got my staff looking into that, and I don't have the sort of final answer. Ods seem pretty dang good that that individual is here illegally. and we're looking into that. And that's just one more example 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 Nungary,
Starting point is 00:37:12 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, Glenn, that we have 51.5 million foreign-born people in this country. I listen to everybody go on the screen, including, I think, unfortunately, the speaker said this and some others, where you've got, oh, we need to increase and improve it, but right now, I think we ought to freeze it. I think we ought to 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. They have 30 million people here. here and some of them are illegal. We're transforming our country. This is all a higher percentage than the early part of the 20th century after we'd had mass migration. We've got a reform
Starting point is 00:38:07 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 that 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 right. But you've got big oil and gas
Starting point is 00:38:44 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'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.
Starting point is 00:39:15 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, my orifice regime did.
Starting point is 00:39:49 There's zero questions. 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 the, of, you know, big corporate interests. Or frankly, those, you know, NGOs that were all a part of the problem with getting those people here in the first place. Like, we're going to have to be resolved. Let me be very clear. I mean, somebody pointed out, like, after Brexit and the Tories, you know, they were supposed to deliver on ending the mass influx of immigration.
Starting point is 00:40:21 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 wigs. 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 a 40, 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 we've got to deliver
Starting point is 00:41:06 Chip always as always thank you for what you do and let us know how we can help when you when we need to raise our voices to be heard let us know will you I appreciate 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
Starting point is 00:41:42 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'm representing 750,000 Texans. I've got to make sure we back up President Trump. The Lord is in charge, whatever doors he opens for me,
Starting point is 00:42:09 I'll be happy to walk through them. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think that's what I heard. Isn't that what you heard, still? Yeah. Okay. Chip, I love you, man. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Which ones were open. All right. Thank you so much.
