Favorite part of the show today, Stu? Your favorite part?
00:00:08.400
Yeah, probably the intro to the podcast. Wow. I just think, you know, it's just an incredible
00:00:16.320
was wrecking your football. You did. I took care of that.
00:00:20.180
And you nailed that. We had Chip Roy on, which was, whoo, he's always really good.
00:00:24.220
Always really good, talking about Kevin McCarthy and what's gonna happen there, what the plan is.
00:00:28.260
Uh, we had that going for us. How about the accusations against Trevor Bauer?
00:00:32.320
Uh, we played the video, his answer to that. That's riveting, actually.
00:00:36.560
Yeah, and then, we took you through why the Republicans
00:00:39.980
are the problem. Um, but this is your favorite part, huh?
00:00:44.860
Yeah, I love this. Look at this. I mean, we just covered all those topics
00:00:48.360
in much less time. Wait, let me give you something else that I think you're gonna love
00:00:52.320
even more. This message from Relief Factor, our sponsor.
00:01:01.420
Uh, when you try to explain what it's like to live with pain with somebody
00:01:04.300
who doesn't live with pain, you know, it's a little frustrating.
00:01:07.780
Listen, I've lived it. I have had pain that I could just changed everything about me.
00:01:14.140
If you've been dealing with pain in your life, you feel like you've tried everything,
00:01:23.900
The three-week quick start, 1995, a trial pack, not a drug, developed by doctors.
00:01:29.120
Hundreds of thousands of people, over a million now, I think, have ordered Relief Factor,
00:01:44.800
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:05.140
What is your problem with Taylor Swift? What is your problem?
00:02:08.720
Well, I mean, number one, she looks like she's mostly feline.
00:02:14.200
But you say that you had that one area of your life.
00:02:27.540
And you've been wondering why, why has she been inflicted now on your one last place?
00:03:02.160
Don't know that I've ever heard it in my entire life.
00:03:05.900
She recently released a 10-minute version of that song.
00:03:20.860
The actual length is 10 minutes and 13 seconds.
00:03:53.300
The Roman Empire split into Eastern and Western Empires.
00:03:58.100
I know you've been thinking about that because you're always thinking about the Roman Empire.
00:04:02.780
So, when you heard 286, you're like, oh, my gosh, she's talking Roman Empire.
00:04:18.300
This time, when we think about the Roman Empire, it gives us a clue as to why Taylor Swift is suddenly making your life miserable.
00:04:45.360
We're pretty aware of what the capital of Italy is.
00:04:50.600
Let's go back to Taylor Swift's song, All Too Well.
00:05:54.740
George Soros is using Taylor Swift to make your life miserable.
00:06:16.100
We're going to save that one for another day, Stu.
00:06:32.160
Now, you know, I know I'm a conspiracy theorist.
00:06:42.160
That everything I'm talking about is a conspiracy.
00:06:47.540
Now, I've told you in my latest book, Dark Future, all about how you're not really going
00:06:57.640
Sure, we'll have private airports for those people who are, you know, above the little people.
00:07:03.300
Uh, and, uh, we're not going to really, we're not going to be traveling as much.
00:07:08.520
You know, you're, can you stay at home for your vacation?
00:07:12.280
There's no reason to go any place nice, any place different.
00:07:18.960
No longer, no more than 300 miles plus the 15 minute cities.
00:07:27.900
Hey, a recent poll, a survey conducted by the research firm, the Consumer Science and
00:07:36.400
Analytics Institute, took a, uh, a poll of French citizens.
00:07:43.560
When the French were asked whether they would back limiting.
00:07:47.600
Now, who's even thinking about running this poll?
00:07:51.600
When they asked the French citizens whether they would back limiting each individual to
00:08:00.580
four flights over their entire lifetime, 41 said, yeah, it'll help the planet.
00:08:13.440
Well, even if it did help the planet, they're saying that not only would it help the planet,
00:08:23.100
Of those surveyed between the ages of 18 and 24, 59% supported the proposal.
00:08:32.580
This generation has been so indoctrinated with, especially environmentalism in particular,
00:08:38.960
that we, they don't even think to themselves, we can achieve these things without hurting
00:08:49.440
64% stated they'd be willing to reduce their air travel over the medium term due to environmental
00:09:00.460
In fact, if I could fly more, particularly if I could find a way to fly privately, I would
00:09:07.080
Can you tell me in the air, you know, air made up of all kinds of different particles,
00:09:13.440
Can you tell me what the number, what the percentage is in all of the air that we breathe?
00:09:55.200
It's important to also know that we're only, I don't know, a fifth of that responsible for
00:10:01.420
Like, we're not even responsible for all of it.
00:10:03.820
We're responsible for a slice, a small slice of that 0.06% or whatever it is.
00:10:13.380
And then, of course, America is a smaller slice than even that.
00:10:18.400
It is weird that if we stop flying airplanes, we'll save the earth when what we're doing
00:10:48.480
That is an amazing, naturally occurring phenomenon, isn't it?
00:10:59.720
No, I mean, you know, look, that doesn't necessarily mean that none of the...
00:11:06.440
That Coke Zero you have over there is 0.06% cyanide, it would still be pretty bad, right?
00:11:20.120
But it's one of those things where I don't even think most environmental activists have
00:11:25.840
any idea about the facts of this matter, right?
00:11:30.260
Like, if you were to ask them, they would say, I don't know, 80% and it's all human, right?
00:11:37.680
I'd like you to get into those numbers for me tomorrow, would you?
00:11:55.300
And just saying, once again, the Glenn Beck program targeted by George Soros.
00:12:07.920
I've got something a little curious, but cut one, please.
00:12:21.820
If you do not push yourself, you'll be the greatest.
00:12:39.560
How badly do you want this little tip from me in 60 seconds?
00:12:54.320
You'd just, you'd stand there and go, yeah, I'm not walking on the fire.
00:13:00.400
So, FEMA, and I'm doing this as a public service, FEMA, in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, will be conducting a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, the EAS, and the Wireless Emergency Alerts, the WEA.
00:13:26.380
Now, when you think wireless, I think of my grandparents.
00:13:34.740
But no, that's what the federal government now calls your cell phone, the wireless.
00:13:39.800
The WEA portion of the test is going to be directed at all consumer cell phones tomorrow.
00:13:49.000
The text message will display in either English or in Spanish, depending on the language settings of the wireless, quote, handset.
00:13:59.120
Okay, I just, I just would like to just point out, no one should be in charge of our emergency alert system that calls your cell phone a handset or a wireless.
00:14:15.500
It, the EAS portion of the test is going to be sent to radios and televisions.
00:14:20.120
Now, we used to have the EBS, the Emergency Broadcast System.
00:14:30.400
Well, freak out a little bit, and I'll tell you after the tone goes off if you should freak out a lot or not.
00:14:37.740
We used to have that, and then we'd run a tone.
00:14:40.360
Well, back in the Obama days, they took that away.
00:14:50.200
The White House has its own switch that can take over all radio and television for the EBS, so the president could address you immediately.
00:14:59.120
Look, I have to stop all other communications to communicate to you and tell you the absolute God's honest truth of what's happening.
00:15:12.100
Now, this will be the second test that they've done to all cellular devices.
00:15:22.200
They were like, well, let's go ahead and do a test.
00:15:26.840
And it's been like 12 years, 15 years since we've had a test.
00:15:32.760
Now, for some reason, somebody's like, I wonder if this thing still works.
00:15:45.500
So they're just testing it tomorrow, and it's perfectly normal.
00:15:52.980
Well, it's always good to keep on top of things.
00:15:56.320
You know, like you're supposed to test your fire alarms every once in a while.
00:16:03.560
Like in the middle of the night, they were asleep.
00:16:08.740
And then they were walking around like, I don't know, the Pentagon or something, like looking
00:16:22.320
And now, in completely, by the way, that happens tomorrow at 2.20.
00:16:28.760
So if you get a test, you will have to realize it's only a test.
00:16:37.200
In completely unrelated news, as I told you yesterday, the former Soviet Union is also running
00:16:50.520
Their test is of the emergency, holy crap, get out of your house, only a third of Russia
00:17:13.820
The reason why we have the EBS test, or the EAS test, or the wireless test, the reason
00:17:23.060
why we have it, it was established, oh my gosh, in the, oh wow, what a coincidence this
00:17:30.780
It was established in the Cold War when we realized, hey, we could all be dead in 18 minutes.
00:17:37.980
So let's do a minute long tone, and then come out and say, hey, by the way, we're going to
00:17:45.840
give you some information here, and we're going to spend about five minutes maybe telling you
00:17:52.020
At the end of it, because, well, we debated whether this or not was real, you got about
00:17:58.360
three minutes to get your crap together and get on out.
00:18:08.540
Makes me not want to carry a phone ever, because I think I'd rather just, you know what I mean?
00:18:16.160
At this point, I'm kind of rooting for the missile, just to, yeah.
00:18:21.460
I mean, wait, you're rooting for the missile or the asteroid?
00:18:29.500
I would like to be one of those people that have the shadow burned on the sidewalk so they
00:18:43.060
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:18:47.540
If you do not have Dark Future yet, you need to read it.
00:18:51.720
We can solve problems if we understand what's coming our way, and it's coming our way quickly.
00:18:58.020
I've been talking to you about AI and also deep fakes for a while now.
00:19:03.980
I've been telling you for, I don't even know, 10 years, look out.
00:19:08.520
When this time comes, you won't be able to believe your eyes.
00:19:12.280
Tom Hanks has just come out yesterday or the day before saying that there is an AI version
00:19:18.360
of him promoting some dental plan, and he said, that's not me.
00:19:23.700
They didn't ask me to use my likeness or anything, but it is an AI, Tom Hanks, saying, hey, this
00:19:39.640
When that happens, when that happens in a scandal, if that happens when you see something that
00:19:50.180
Putin said about, we're going to launch the missiles, or Biden say, we're going to do something
00:20:04.160
And what percentage of people would accept if they saw a clip of Joe Biden or Donald Trump
00:20:14.320
I mean, a good percentage of the opponents would just believe it, right?
00:20:27.720
The genetic code, we knew we could take DNA samples and narrow it down, right?
00:20:35.760
And in the OJ Simpson trial, they said it's like 20 people maybe in the entire world would
00:20:45.180
have this DNA code that we could mistake it for one of 24 maximum.
00:21:01.460
Now we're at the same place to where some people will never believe something that's
00:21:12.360
Like people, they're not at that point where you're being able to separate truth from fiction
00:21:18.780
And some of it is so hard to tell by the naked eye.
00:21:21.340
But at this point, we still sort of have institutions, I think, holding that line, right?
00:21:28.460
Like, I think like if the laptop isn't real, it's Russian just disinformation when it comes
00:21:41.320
But if it's a political thing, I don't think you can trust them.
00:21:46.000
Let's just say, you know, a fake video came out of Donald Trump, I don't know, blurting
00:21:52.700
Like, I would say most of the liberal commentators and many of the journalists would either say
00:22:08.160
I think many of them would still kind of stick to it.
00:22:10.520
I think they would stick to it and saying, well, that's the way he would act.
00:22:13.140
Or just say, you know, the media is, you know, what you're hearing is, you know, who knows?
00:22:18.540
They're probably trying to cover for Trump or whatever.
00:22:20.720
Some way to make it seem like, yeah, keep your eye, keep your mind open.
00:22:25.600
This is why the truth matters in all of our life.
00:22:38.420
Somebody that you think, that's a person I can trust.
00:22:54.220
How many heroes do you have from the past that you go, I'm comfortable with the history.
00:23:23.100
Whether that's your kid, your wife, your husband, a friend.
00:23:34.160
And you just thought of how many people you can trust.
00:23:39.580
When that person goes down, you have done great grave damage.
00:23:46.980
Because you've taken a little bit of hope in people away.
00:24:00.480
I've said to you for years, people are not going to know what the truth is.
00:24:08.520
I'm right that people don't know what the truth is.
00:24:11.600
What I missed was, the whole society is telling you the truth doesn't matter.
00:24:25.460
Biden administration secretly worried about corruption in Ukraine.
00:24:32.360
President Joe Biden's administration reportedly secretly worried about corruption in Ukraine,
00:24:36.720
despite putting on a brave face for the public over the situation.
00:24:40.260
Politico attained a confidential U.S. strategy document,
00:24:43.600
which U.S. officials discussing objectives that they had for helping Ukraine
00:24:47.480
root out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors.
00:24:53.640
The document warns that corruption in the country could cause nations to pull their support
00:24:57.620
from the country as it battles the Russian military.
00:25:00.440
The report said the administration wants to press Ukraine to cut graft,
00:25:08.120
Administration is reportedly concerned about being too loud about pressuring Ukraine
00:25:12.460
to tackle its corruption because they are worried Republicans will use the issue
00:25:25.160
The president should be concerned about your hard-earned money.
00:25:35.000
Everything that you have made your entire life or will make your entire life.
00:25:41.560
Every penny that you have put into Social Security and your taxes.
00:25:46.800
Every penny will not make a dent in one day of funding to the Ukrainian people.
00:26:14.280
Are you more, and I say this to Republicans and Democrats alike,
00:26:17.900
are you more concerned about you, your special interests,
00:26:23.700
or what you think is important when your constituents say no?
00:26:33.480
And if you're going to do it, can you at least do it responsibly?
00:26:37.740
Don't you have, even if you say, you know what, I'm sorry,
00:26:41.740
this is a representative republic, so I am your representative.
00:26:47.420
I happen to know, you hired me to make the decisions for you
00:26:51.500
and be informed and reflect you, but you're wrong on this.
00:26:57.820
Even if you believe that, don't they then have a responsibility to you
00:27:12.460
What they take seriously is the way it can politically backfire on them.
00:27:23.960
So now we know that Joe Biden said he went and fixed corruption over there,
00:27:37.920
When we've been saying this is the most corrupt place ever,
00:27:41.640
he's so concerned about corruption that during a war,
00:27:48.360
he's worried that their politicians are so corrupt,
00:27:53.860
they'll take the money that should go to help them fight to keep their own country,
00:28:04.040
They'll take it and they'll keep it for themselves.
00:28:06.840
Wow, and you'd send your son over there to do business with the guy you know
00:28:16.400
is one of the most ruthless oligarchs over there?
00:28:23.200
If my son was over there, first of all, he wouldn't be.
00:28:26.600
But if my son was over there and I knew he was with an oligarch
00:29:06.460
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody will actually pass anything,
00:29:16.380
without getting political about last election or the next election,
00:29:22.560
Do you only want people who are qualified to vote legally
00:29:41.360
I can't imagine that there's a liberal or a conservative,
00:29:56.520
Politicians who know how to work the system for themselves.
00:30:00.100
See, a democracy, a democracy is one man, one vote.
00:30:18.400
But our founders were smart enough to know that it also doesn't work.
00:30:23.560
Because when the politician figures out they can just give people money
00:30:33.040
That's why we're supposed to have a representative government,
00:30:48.700
That politician, no matter how much he gives you,
00:31:05.260
And this is not the time for sunshine patriots.
00:31:21.600
then have you thought about running for a position?
00:31:35.260
of the people that we have to have people running against.
00:31:41.140
I mean, a couple names would be Roger Wicker in Mississippi
00:31:46.600
both with very mediocre conservative voting records.
00:31:55.900
There's no reason these people should not be primaried.
00:31:58.880
You're going to win the state if you win the primary.
00:32:07.440
and your primary winner might lose the general.
00:32:11.140
You're not going to lose either of those elections.
00:32:14.340
Mitt Romney was the number one target on this list.
00:32:18.560
Well, it'll be his son if somebody doesn't get in.
00:32:34.480
And you need to say to the people right now in Washington
00:32:52.180
Is he actually moving forward on any of these things
00:32:56.220
where we're supposed to have passed in 45 days?
00:33:17.320
Well, first of all, I am good because I have faith in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:33:22.140
and we're all on this planet for a brief spell.
00:33:30.580
We've got to figure out what to do now to change its course.
00:33:33.120
You and I have talked about it repeatedly on this show with your listeners.
00:33:36.860
We are going to have a vote today led by, obviously, it's not just Matt Gaetz.
00:33:42.160
There's at least six or seven, maybe eight guys who reflect the frustration of the American people
00:33:58.560
I don't believe that you yank the coach at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
00:34:05.040
And to me, that's sometime through in December when we continue the play that we're trying
00:34:09.780
to do on the Ukraine issue and on the spending and the appropriations bills that we all ask
00:34:16.340
But in truth, that's only happened four times in 50 years in my lifetime.
00:34:21.500
That being said, let me just tell you, if you'll indulge me for one minute, maybe two.
00:34:27.920
This is the speech that I read to the Republican conference this morning.
00:34:31.940
I said that no matter what happens with the speaker at the moment, if nothing changes, we
00:34:38.000
will be campaigning on March 31st with a leading candidate who has a number of variables, just
00:34:45.860
We will be campaigning on March 31st with the following.
00:34:49.100
An extension of the debt ceiling until January 25 of $4 trillion, done with Democrats.
00:34:54.720
A Ukraine funding of an additional X billion dollars, because that's what the Republican
00:35:00.960
Probably well over $50 billion, Glenn, if we don't fight it.
00:35:07.240
$16 billion of disaster package that was just passed on a CR, not paid for.
00:35:12.540
Even if we do the appropriations bills, go to conference, and in the 50-50 chance we
00:35:16.700
don't get jammed and rolled with an omnibus bill, maybe we get the 1% cut to spending that
00:35:24.200
But we blow past it with $100 billion of supplemental spending.
00:35:27.860
The Inflation Reduction Act remains fully intact.
00:35:36.560
It's 50-50 at best that we will impeach Biden, depending on what happens with the evidence.
00:35:44.180
We will not have passed a 10-year balanced budget.
00:35:47.200
The DOD will likely still be woke and no accountability for Afghanistan.
00:35:54.160
And importantly, the Senate will try to confuse everybody with a shiny object, crappy border
00:36:00.480
security package, link that to Ukraine and say, we did it.
00:36:03.980
We secured the border and we will get $50 billion or $80 billion in Ukraine funding because
00:36:10.840
The only thing standing in the way of that being the truth and us changing it is a small
00:36:19.400
In fact, I will not throw my friends under the bus who want to call the question.
00:36:24.820
I will stick with my tactical position that I'm not going to currently today agree.
00:36:32.460
I will vote to table the motion because I would give a month to go figure this out heading
00:36:37.220
to Thanksgiving because we've been talking through these things.
00:36:44.000
We're going to lock arms and figure out how to fight and change this because what the list
00:36:57.900
He won't be removed today and nothing will happen in the next 45 days.
00:37:06.040
And then coincidentally, I don't know if you've done the math, but 45 days brings us right
00:37:11.220
So we're right there at Thanksgiving and Christmas where everything always goes and is buried by
00:37:21.580
So, you know, if if you don't get it done this next time in 45 days, it doesn't happen.
00:37:32.000
And here's my question with whom what is the game plan?
00:37:36.420
Who who is it that you are going to not you, but the the the the good guys that are standing
00:37:46.480
Because there are people now afraid we could get a Democrat in there.
00:37:52.340
Well, that, of course, was the argument last January.
00:37:54.940
I, again, do not support tactic for the reason you just described, because I believe we need
00:38:02.660
to force the conference to a reckoning, because let's be honest, the speaker reflects the
00:38:08.300
When I read the thing I just read to you this morning in the Republican conference meeting,
00:38:13.280
crickets, crickets, the vast majority of Republicans are totally fine with increasing
00:38:20.460
spending, kicking the can down the road, saying, oh, the next president will save us.
00:38:30.400
Look, I understand the difficulty of the moment.
00:38:34.100
Neither you nor I expect us to get every single thing we want in this divided government.
00:38:38.500
But at some point, you have to pick a major fight and mean it.
00:38:45.260
When are we going to pick a major fight and mean it?
00:38:47.540
If we're going to throw down on the border, and that means accepting some Ukraine spending
00:38:53.020
I would prefer not to, then let's pick that fight.
00:38:55.540
If we need to kill all dollars to Ukraine, and that means we're not going to address the
00:38:59.920
border fast enough, okay, let's pick that fight.
00:39:02.680
I can't get a clear signal from our leadership as to what path we are going to choose to go
00:39:11.300
So, to answer your question, I do, look, I'm staying focused on the policy.
00:39:16.960
As we speak this morning, I'm having conversations with senators, people here, trying to figure
00:39:21.180
out how to make sure we define the border security the way it needs to be defined.
00:39:24.240
Had meetings this morning on what we can do to constrain Ukraine spending and make the
00:39:27.620
case for why that's not in our best case international interest.
00:39:31.560
Make the case for why we need to constrain spending in the appropriations package.
00:39:34.840
I was on the Rules Committee last night holding the line.
00:39:42.720
The bill we put together for Limit Save Grow was phenomenal until it got abandoned.
00:39:47.520
The National Defense Authorization Act is conservative.
00:39:52.760
But all of that goes out the window if you don't finish the job.
00:39:56.340
So, my position is finish the job and we hold accountable.
00:40:00.080
But if they end up vacating today, well, we're going to have to go find a speaker.
00:40:07.860
I mean, you know, he says, well, 45 days and then we're going to pass all these things.
00:40:14.920
I mean, I wanted him to prove me wrong, but I don't believe it.
00:40:19.940
We're going to come down to the end of the 45 days and they're going to, oh, Republicans
00:40:24.160
want to shut down the cars and they're going to fold again.
00:40:35.360
And this is what I raised at the conference this morning.
00:40:41.020
At this point, my tactical choice would be to do what I was doing yesterday and the day
00:40:45.740
before and last week after the Saturday decision on the 45-day CR, which is sit down and say,
00:40:52.480
Mr. Speaker, we have got to get this done before Thanksgiving.
00:40:58.140
They, the Democrats, want Ukraine funding more than anything in the world.
00:41:01.440
And we Republicans want border security and we want to hold down spending at a bare minimum.
00:41:07.940
So what are we going to do to make that happen?
00:41:09.980
He seems to have bet his speakership, if he even survives this week, on accomplishing that
00:41:17.340
objective, holding Ukraine to some level that matches the conference's perspective, spread out
00:41:23.600
over time with border security attached and use the appropriations process.
00:41:28.200
Let me, let me give you another example without giving away individual names of it, a private
00:41:32.740
meeting, an individual who is very conservative slash more populist libertarian made an impassioned
00:41:39.060
speech for why our processes and openness is a massive change compared to Boehner and Paul
00:41:48.260
But the American people don't care about that, right?
00:41:50.240
I mean, they might care a little, but they want results.
00:41:55.780
We are, with the reason you all know a lot of what's happening is because we've opened it up.
00:42:04.840
But we're not getting the results we want because our conference, frankly, isn't strongly
00:42:12.920
So we're trying to manage through that process and get to a result where we actually cut spending,
00:42:20.300
actually hold the supplementals, actually reduce or restrict, constrain Ukraine, actually
00:42:25.680
I haven't given up on that, even though you and I are both as cynical and frustrated as
00:42:33.220
So, Chip, first of all, I don't want you to feel my frustration is pointed to you at
00:42:37.820
all because I prayed for you this weekend thinking he has got to be just beside himself because
00:42:46.540
Do you have you been struggling at all with am I being duped?
00:42:53.720
Am I being I mean, because I know I would if I were you, I would probably do exactly what
00:43:00.420
you're doing now because it seems reasonable to me.
00:43:04.460
But I feel like I would be saying, but I mean, why should I trust them?
00:43:18.080
I trust no one for the most part in this town, particularly people who have been here for
00:43:24.160
We are in the process, in my opinion, of breaking this town and creating coalitions in which
00:43:32.180
I'm talking right now to my colleagues that I disagree with a little bit on their timing
00:43:36.060
and tactics because I respect what they're trying to do.
00:43:39.500
There are colleagues that I have who don't respect what they're trying to do.
00:43:43.560
They think it's about showboating or grandstanding or fundraising.
00:43:48.300
Yeah, they might grandstand and they might raise money.
00:43:52.600
But at the end of the day, it's because they're tired of watching the same old, same old and
00:43:59.740
Again, Glenn, I want to reiterate to all the listeners out there who are going, well, Chip,
00:44:07.100
The issue here is how do we navigate from right now to a place where we can go try to get a
00:44:12.580
Our country can't wait 16 months for Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis or anyone else to get
00:44:18.660
in and shake things up in the White House without massive damage.
00:44:22.360
So for me, I want to get a victory for the people, not just a political victory.
00:44:25.560
So that list I read, crickets, your conference, your Republican conference, I want every listener
00:44:31.720
out there to know, while they're moving in the right direction, at the end of the day,
00:44:36.120
their reflex is still to be totally okay with increased spending, totally okay with, well,
00:44:41.600
we might have to deal with the border at some point, totally okay with more money for Ukraine
00:44:46.520
And so I'm just telling you, you get the speaker that reflects the conference.
00:44:52.060
Some of us are trying to shift that and it doesn't happen as fast as you or I or your
00:45:00.760
Well, it doesn't sound like an extremist to me.
00:45:04.200
It sounds like a constitutionalist and somebody who is trying to think it out.
00:45:09.700
Uh, when you say crickets, I just want to make sure I understand not because they were
00:45:14.800
shocked by like, Oh crap, we're in trouble, but because they don't, they didn't see a problem
00:45:23.080
In fact, one member got up to the mic and said, we can't address those things until we
00:45:28.100
have the White House to which I'd say, poppycock.
00:45:34.440
Look, look, when, I mean, I can't possibly say you and I with the 221 majority can kill
00:45:40.860
Ukraine, fully secure the border, gut spending, the levels that you and I would do it fire
00:45:47.780
Like I get it, but can we get one of those damn things one, right?
00:45:53.960
Give me an actual spending cut that I can go be proud of.
00:45:59.200
Supplemental spending actually secure the border.
00:46:01.680
And don't give me your like, wow, it's gotta be a bicameral bipartisan.
00:46:14.660
Like, give me a win that we can go to the American people and said, we fought for you and we won.
00:46:23.580
I got a whole lot of text messages in that room saying, hey, thank you for saying that.
00:46:39.240
But don't roast everybody in a stupid social media, you know, attack because you don't agree with the tactical play.
00:46:50.560
What I'm saying is don't go after Gates for being a showboat.
00:46:53.720
And don't go after Chip Roy for being a rhino because we disagree on the tactics.
00:46:56.720
Well, you've got a block of people from the 20 and it's growing who are fed up.
00:47:02.400
And that doesn't get you much, but it gets you a lot when you talk about we're building a momentum here.
00:47:09.120
Like, we're years into this mess in Washington and we don't have the White House and we don't have the Senate.
00:47:23.380
I'm not going to allow them to train, you know, roll over us with Ukraine funding without getting border security.
00:47:34.700
These are the fights we need to have right now.
00:47:44.380
I don't 100% know because I don't know how many Democrats are here and the denominator matters.
00:47:48.400
I think you're going to get, I don't know, seven or eight who will be, you know, who will vote no to table.
00:47:55.760
We may be in a position where we're choosing a new speaker.
00:47:58.620
We'll see what happens in the next three hours.
