Chip Roy joins Glenn Beck on the show to talk about the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, the NFL player who had a heart attack on Monday Night Football, and much, much more. Glenn also talks about why he doesn't like the way the NFL is officiating the Super Bowl.
00:00:00.000Oh my goodness, Stu, is it not so great to be sitting here in the same room with me again?
00:00:08.060Oh, I was dreaming about it all vacation and now here it is, and wow.
00:00:14.600So I had quite a vacation. I saw a lot of things, did a lot of thinking, have some new attitude and some new ideas that we'll be explaining over the next few weeks.
00:00:27.980Some things that we're going to talk about tonight, a big one, is the agenda for the Republicans.
00:00:33.760I'm tired of them. We have Chip Roy on today's podcast, and I think he's tired of it too.
00:00:40.560But we're going to talk a little bit about what's going on with the Speaker of the House, and I'm glad. Good.
00:00:46.480I don't want another mealy-mouthed, wishy-washy guy who's doing everything behind the scenes.
00:00:52.860No John Boehner's. No John Boehner's, what do you say?
00:00:55.820No? Yeah. No Paul Rudd. When I heard actually somebody say, well, maybe we can get Paul Rudd.
00:01:01.600Are you out of your mind? Oh my gosh, these guys don't get it.
00:01:05.940No, they do not get it. They do not understand the base, the voters, they don't understand any of it.
00:01:12.140And they're being embarrassed publicly because of that right now.
00:01:17.800You think they might eventually get it under control, but nah.
00:01:21.400Nah. We'll see. We'll see. We have a lot to talk about. That and so much more on today's podcast. Here it is.
00:01:28.020And don't forget to review the podcast and subscribe.
00:01:30.980Why don't you do that like you're a professional?
00:01:33.600Instead of saying, why don't you review the podcast?
00:01:37.340Let's say it as a professional. Sorry.
00:09:33.900You know, and I think even through the midst of absolute tragedy last night, I think you saw some of the beauty of football as well, that it's brought us all here together.
00:09:41.280You know, like, this is a little bit different.
00:09:45.200I heard, I've heard it all day, like thoughts and prayers.
00:09:47.760And you just heard Scherf and Jonathan Allen say, like, all we can do is pray for him.
00:09:51.040And I've heard the Buffalo Bills organization say, like, we believe in prayer.
00:09:54.620And maybe this is not the right thing to do, but I want to, it's just on my heart that I want to pray for.
00:10:03.420I'm going to bow my head and I'm just going to pray for him.
00:10:07.580God, we come to you in these moments that we don't understand, that are hard, because we believe that you're God and coming to you and praying to you has impact.
00:10:18.880We're sad, we're angry, and we want answers, but some things are unanswerable.
00:10:26.780We just want to pray, truly come to you and pray for strength for Damar, for healing for Damar, for comfort for Damar, to be with his family, to give them peace.
00:10:40.100If we didn't believe that prayer didn't work, we wouldn't ask this of you, God.
00:11:08.580If you look at the stats, according to Dr. McCullough, who is a world famous, probably one of the most respected and decorated cardiologists in history, Peter McCullough.
00:11:23.460He published a paper, and I shouldn't say it that way, because it was just an op-ed.
00:13:29.980We have the same answer until we actually know.
00:13:36.160The thing we have to get to is being willing to ask the questions.
00:13:42.860The biggest problem comes from the CDC and the AMA and Fauci and the government and Twitter in its old form and Facebook and Google that have all colluded to shut you up from asking questions.
00:14:08.340You know how this wouldn't have been a big deal if we would have seen and been they would have been open about all of the side effects of the vaccine.
00:14:21.980If they just would have come out and said, hey, look, there's a possibility of these things and this is the way it is.
00:14:27.400Instead, we weren't allowed to question.
00:14:30.120So you find out, wait a minute, that's not what you said.
00:14:33.440Now, everything you say is questioned.
00:14:37.300And don't blame it on the conspiracy theorists.
00:14:40.920Blame it on those who refused to allow questions to be asked and answered in a reasonable fashion.
00:14:50.180This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:15:17.500We're engaged in yet another series of meetings this morning.
00:15:21.920We were here until midnight last night at the Capitol, and we're going to continue to fight for the people that sent us here to fight for them.
00:15:27.680Well, A, I appreciate that, and I hope that America responds.
00:15:32.880I think the Karl Rove's of the world are thinking that people like you are going to get a lot of calls and deluged at your office today saying,
00:16:18.560People have been asking, what's the message?
00:16:20.300I tried to deliver a message on the floor of the House last night that what we're fighting for are the tools and the leadership necessary to stop the swamp from rolling over the average American who are sick and tired of seeing this town undermine their freedom,
00:16:34.800spend money we don't have, and continue to violate every promise they've ever made in the campaign.
00:16:42.400I'm going to come up, and I'm going to cut spending.
00:17:18.440So now, will those of you who are mounting this battle, is there a compromise McCarthy could make?
00:17:28.840So I would have told you 48 hours ago that the answer to that question was yes.
00:17:39.020The problem is, is there is a growing group of hardcore no votes against Kevin because of the way things unfolded yesterday at the Republican conference meeting,
00:17:48.560in which Mike Rogers stood up and threatened members from losing their committees and when lies were being told about what was behind the motives of members seeking, quote,
00:18:00.660petty personal privileges and being on certain committees, which was a total lie because members offered in good faith, all right, put me on the appropriations committee.
00:18:09.960I don't want to be in the appropriations committee, but I'll do it, right?
00:18:15.680I said, sure, put my name on the rules committee as someone who would do it, even though I don't want to fly away from my home and miss my family on Sunday night and fly up here to be here on Monday mornings to set the rules.
00:18:24.240And the rules committee is the funnel through which all things get to the floor.
00:18:28.800The fight in 1923, when there were nine rounds of votes for the speaker, the culmination of that was a complete change of the rules committee because it's so powerful.
00:18:38.300It's a secret committee kind of that nobody knows about that just sits there and decides what bills get to the floor, what's in them and what it looks like.
00:18:46.020So we had a debate about that and then people lied about it.
00:18:49.100So now you've got a bunch of members that are saying, you know what?
00:18:52.900I'm not going to be able to vote for the guy.
00:18:54.820Now, that being said, Glenn, literally the conversations I had till midnight last night and this morning is trying to work in good faith on how to change the institution.
00:19:03.320I, speaking for myself, would there be a path for me to get there?
00:19:07.560But the path for me requires us to be able to control the ability of the control of the legislation that gets to the floor and stop something like that omnibus bill in December.
00:19:51.020And look, and Glenn, this is important.
00:19:53.000The progress we've made over the last 60 days to get rules is not because Kevin was standing up trying to figure out, oh, I've got these great ideas on how to make the place better.
00:20:01.660It was because some of us, five in particular publicly, that were no's, said they weren't going to support Kevin.
00:20:08.000And then another seven of us signed a letter saying, here are the kinds of things we want to see change.
00:20:12.420That forced the conversation to get changed.
00:20:15.100Now these guys are running around saying, well, we gave you everything you want.
00:20:18.780You gave us some things that will be an improvement, but you didn't give us the key things, which is what is necessary to stop big bills that the defense world and the liberals among Democrats jam through.
00:20:35.200Remember and consider Kevin voted in the minority with more Democrats than Republicans on multiple bills over the last decade.
00:20:43.500Since he has been a Republican leadership, the debt has gone from 11 trillion to 32 trillion.
00:20:54.680Tell me what the specifics are that have to be changed, because I think people need to know specifically what are we fighting for?
00:21:06.060The key thing that I believe needs to change is that we have to have people on the rules committee who reflect the conservatives who send Republicans to Washington to change the town.
00:21:22.520Is that we need conservatives, enough conservatives.
00:21:25.680I'm not saying put every Freedom Caucus member on there.
00:21:28.120I'm saying you need to have actual conservatives who will stand up in defense of the American people from the big spending in this town, be on the committees that actually determine what gets to the floor, combined with the changes to the rules that we are partway down the road and getting of opening up the floor so we can have amendments and debate on the floor so that we can kill this stuff.
00:21:52.220So we're kind of halfway there, but halfway there ain't there.
00:21:56.980And so if they're not going to work with us to get us there, then that's the problem.
00:22:01.840And yesterday damaged that and may have created an environment where there's too many guys here saying we can't cut a deal with Kevin.
00:22:29.520So, so like, so we're having conversations.
00:22:31.980I promise you, there are people that would surprise you, uh, that are in the sort of center of the world around McCarthy who are having conversations openly, uh, or I say openly, I mean, privately with us, but like having conversation.
00:23:32.680So if we're cutting a deal with Kevin, we better damn well get the rules that will box him in.
00:23:37.740Otherwise, you got to have a deal with a leader who you can trust to break the swamp, to break the cartel that's destroying our country, spending money we don't have, leaving our borders open.
00:23:47.020Continuing to empower bureaucrats that undermine our freedom.
00:23:51.500The tools we need have to give us the tools to stop continuing to do the same thing we've been doing over and over again.
00:23:58.260Well, every single Republican goes back in campaigns and then comes to this godforsaken town and throws our country down the drain and undermines everything that the men and women in uniform have fought so valiantly to save for our kids and our grandkids.
00:24:12.680Do you have, are you fighting for, or do you already have enough power of investigation to be able to answer the questions that must be answered this year?
00:24:28.600So I would say we had, we were going way down the path of organizing and, and, and we have the fire and we're ready to go after a lot of the entities that need to Jim Jordan and judiciary committee, for example, and we've already been having lots of conversations and meetings.
00:25:03.820That was, I think good conversations were going on that, but they kind of stalled on Monday night around other factors.
00:25:10.820So I think we made headway and we're in a good place to be able to do some good things with that, but we got a lot more work we need to do.
00:25:16.160Do you see us, I think in 29, or no, it was 1856, I think, where it went on for 130 votes.
00:25:25.500Do you see us in an 1856 or a 1920s kind of situation?
00:25:31.780Well, right now we're through three votes.
00:25:33.560We're going to go there in an hour and 15 minutes.
00:25:35.460We know there's going to be at least a fourth.
00:25:37.260My guess is there might be a fifth or a sixth, and we're going to continue to have conversations today.
00:25:42.340Like I said, Kevin doesn't have the votes, so we've got to work through on getting it there.
00:25:46.360And we're either going to get it there through fixing the rules and getting it to where we can protect the American people and do what we said we would do to stop the swamp, or we need a new leader or vote.
00:25:53.880But we're working on it as hard as we know how to do, but the American people need to be patient, knowing that there's a group of people up here fighting for you.
00:26:01.340That's what this is about, fighting to defend the American people against the swamp.
00:26:05.340That's everything that we're trying to do.
00:26:07.240And the most effective thing any listener can do?
00:26:09.420Call your member and tell them to stand with us to get what we need to get to stop the swamp.
00:26:16.880And that means Kevin McCarthy needs to come to the table, or we need a new leader.
00:26:20.940But don't go, you know, walk away and get, you know, don't walk away because you're hearing people go, oh, my God, you might end up with a Democrat speaker.
00:26:28.280That's only going to happen if Republicans vote for a Democrat.
00:26:31.500Republicans vote for Republicans, you get a Republican speaker.
00:26:34.200And we're going to keep working to do that.
00:27:37.700They had some preliminary agreements with the head of state and Larry Fink.
00:27:43.440The BlackRock team has been working for several months on a project to advise Ukrainian government on how to structure the country's reconstruction funds.
00:27:53.500Ukraine comes and they want money for this war and our government gives the money and we don't send any accountants to track that money.
00:28:10.880Then BlackRock starts working with their government and says, we'll help you use that money.
00:28:17.720Hmm, this doesn't sound like doesn't sound like there's anything we should be watching here, does it?
00:28:23.760He he agreed with Larry Fink to focus on coordinating the efforts of all potential investors and participants in the reconstruction of their country, channeling investments into the most relevant and impactful sectors of the Ukrainian economy.
00:28:42.120During the conversation, it was emphasized that black black black rock leaders plan to visit Ukraine in the next year.
00:28:51.120Our accountants know, but black rock will be there.
00:28:57.240They are they're going in and and looking after the allocated funds and they're going to advise on structuring the reconstruction projects for Ukraine.
00:29:10.520So why has Ukraine become such a big deal?
00:29:19.980If you go back in time, do you remember?
00:29:23.340Ukraine was a big deal under Obama with Biden.
00:30:05.340Now, is it because we are strategically using Ukraine to dismantle Russia because there is a fight for a new world order?
00:30:17.960And it is either going to be the World Economic Forum's world order or the world order of the communists in China or the Putin's of the world.
00:30:29.560And that is a national socialistic kind of nation.
00:30:35.080Or what the World Economic Forum is going for is an international socialistic sort of program.
00:30:55.280When the state and the business collude with one another and the government tells business what they're going to do and what they're not going to do.
00:31:07.080And it's all privately owned, but it's a public-private partnership.
00:31:11.520That is the literal definition of fascism.
00:31:15.120This is what we went through in World War World War Two.
00:31:19.120You had the national fascists of Italy and of Germany, and then you had the international communists of Russia.
00:31:32.420At that time, we also had the free world.
00:31:36.780This time, we don't have the free world.
00:31:40.340What's happening now is we're arguing over fascism.
00:31:43.740China might call themselves a communist party, but they're much more fascistic in nature than communists.
00:36:36.520And there's probably no stopping it now, you know, unless we had Congress on our side, which don't count on that one.
00:36:44.940But that is extraordinarily dangerous.
00:36:48.880What part of that technology are you talking about when you say the part of technology that could what they're building now is low earth or low altitude satellites in a string that can monitor one place all the time.
00:37:06.380So it because the satellites move, you need a string of them.
00:37:10.580So it's constantly trained on New York City and can lock in on New York City continually 24 hours a day.
00:37:18.760And then it will have parameters through the algorithm of that's unusual.
00:37:24.700And it can, you know, it can read your, you know, the back of your credit card from space.
00:37:31.180And the algorithm will say something terrorist activity, something illegal may be happening, and it can automatically gin down, zoom in on any area, alert the police, alert the feds, or it can zoom in.
00:37:46.700And if it can't get close enough, all through algorithm, it will then start to use the local cameras all the way to your cell phones and be able to see exactly what's going on everywhere in that area.
00:38:11.220But that is now coming soon to a world near you.
00:38:17.400And even, I know you, I think I understand what you meant by this, but you said, you know, oh, this is definitely going to happen unless Congress gets on our side.
00:38:24.700But even if Congress was a Congress that respected the Constitution, China's is not.
00:38:30.760Someone eventually is going to do this.
00:39:37.760The stuff that we've talked about it for years and said, one of these days.
00:39:43.820Well, when I say one of these days, it could be in the next six months that these things begin to come online.
00:39:51.640I'm a little disturbed that if they're calling it whammy, are they naming it after the creature that steals your points on Press Your Luck, the old game show?
