on anybody's grave but i would like to have a picnic on it uh respectful thing respectful picnic on
00:02:07.580
that i mean i'm sure he's a wonderful guy uh is he i i don't know he's very confusing i you know
00:02:15.020
is he a wonderful guy we talked about things i know about him in his personal life he's a good
00:02:20.420
guy you think he's a good family guy he loves his family yes seems to and i think he he tries to do
00:02:25.560
the right thing just not when it comes to the constitution i think that's a that's a major thing
00:02:31.460
at least job performance wise certainly a significant factor but does it make him necessarily a bad
00:02:36.720
person you know who and he's not up for re-election in 24 um but he is coming up for re-election uh and
00:02:44.060
that is cornyn good good heavens and uh i don't know if chip roy you know is i mean i'm just well
00:02:52.940
let's ask him chip i thought he was on chip how are you i'm great glenn how are you brother very good
00:03:00.780
you're trying to get me in trouble you're trying to get me in trouble no no no no i'm trying to save
00:03:04.640
the country anyway um so let me ask you this this whole impeachment thing uh and along with the budget
00:03:14.120
argument uh um you have mccarthy on fox news about a month ago saying you know if they want to shut down
00:03:23.040
the government i mean that'll shut down the inquiry is is this the game that we're now playing that
00:03:28.840
we're going to come up against the the budget again and we got to pass this we got to pass this
00:03:35.820
is that what's happening well i mean i wish i could give you a little bit better news on that front uh
00:03:41.740
from the standpoint of you know how we're proceeding and leading into this because it just came out of
00:03:47.580
a republican conference meeting and it wasn't where i wanted it to be uh i think most of the people that
00:03:53.180
i represent who are sick and tired of a lawless president uh running over and trampling the rights
00:03:59.080
of the people that i represent endangering us with open borders spending money we don't have to fund
00:04:04.760
a bureaucracy that wants to make criminals out of gun owners and pistol braces and universal background
00:04:09.880
checks that wants to weaponize the department of justice against its own citizens and a former
00:04:13.860
president and and again i want to come back to the border the tip of the spear right now as a texan
00:04:18.640
is the 200 and something thousand people that were encountered in august the 200 and something
00:04:23.860
thousand people in july the guy in pennsylvania who was just on a manhunt who was here illegally and
00:04:29.860
stabbed his girlfriend 28 times after being arrested in brazil the 11 year old boy in ohio who was killed
00:04:34.700
by someone released by the biden administration i could go on and on and on and your republican conference
00:04:39.860
all too happy to campaign on border security your senate republicans all too happy to campaign on
00:04:46.080
border security won't do a damn thing about it look here is at the end of the deal we have to
00:04:52.000
use the power of the purse to force change so we are trying to force uh kevin and the leadership of
00:04:57.640
the republican conference to understand that now is the time to force biden to come to the table
00:05:02.280
they are so afraid of a shutdown that they are unwilling to uh you know stand up and lock arms and
00:05:10.300
tell president biden no more is that true wait a minute hang on just a sec chip is that true that
00:05:15.600
they're afraid of a shutdown because i think it works to their advantage every single time
00:05:21.400
so they don't believe that i walked them through for example in 2013 i was senator cruz's chief of staff
00:05:28.260
point number one he picked a fight on obamacare funding why because we knew it was about to get
00:05:33.580
implemented and would decimate american health care i believe the last decade of health care prices
00:05:38.380
inability to go get doctors inability to uh have affordable insurance uh i think it's borne out
00:05:44.500
that we were correct republicans walked away from that fight but guess what the american people were
00:05:50.020
energized by a senator going to the floor saying make dc listen and i want to fight for you and we
00:05:54.920
gained the biggest republican majority in history the following year we gained 13 seats in the house
00:05:59.500
we gained i think maybe 14 we gained nine seats in the senate the fact is the american people want us to
00:06:04.760
fight for them i believe if 218 republicans locked arms and said mr president you're going to secure
00:06:10.620
the border or you're not going to get funding i believe we would win but unfortunately we have
00:06:16.160
some members of our conference who are unwilling to take that fight we're going to continue to force it
00:06:22.260
uh those of us in the freedom caucus those of us in the 20 from january uh and we're going to
00:06:27.320
continue to force the issue among the republican conference and say it is our duty to stand up and
00:06:32.020
fight i am open to different paths on how to do that glenn i mean you got to figure out how to
00:06:37.240
negotiate to get things done but what i'm not open to doing is rubber stamping the 2023 spending levels
00:06:42.580
uh that were passed last december by pelosi and 17 uh republicans who should never have supported it
00:06:49.240
so let me ask you when you were on the show after the last time we did this you said no more the uh
00:06:56.340
republicans get it or you know you you didn't say it that firmly you said it looks like maybe this
00:07:02.520
time they get it and the plan was to pass all of these bills so they'd all be waiting for the senate
00:07:09.380
so you blame it on the senate what what happened to the house passing all the individual bills
00:07:14.720
well the dead ceiling deal that was consummated unfortunately on memorial day blew the path that
00:07:21.180
we had properly chosen when we passed limit save grow it set the spending levels at an unacceptably
00:07:27.720
high level which is basically close to the 2023 levels of spending so we then set out to try to
00:07:34.600
fix that and so we were in the process of doing that in june and july i don't believe we should have
00:07:39.620
broken for august and when we came back we should be moving forward bills and reducing spending but
00:07:45.040
the leadership couldn't get those across the finish line because frankly they were spending at higher
00:07:49.620
levels than you had 218 votes to spend my argument was we had 218 votes for limit save grow that was
00:07:57.300
at the level that would be a modest return to pre-covid level spending uh it would be a reduction
00:08:02.640
a significant reduction but you know basically pre-covid 2019 it's not like that was a paragon of
00:08:08.000
you know limited government virtue we just wanted to scale it back but we couldn't get agreement on the
00:08:13.540
spending levels and uh and frankly there were some members in our conference that were stubborn on a
00:08:17.960
handful of the policy issues so here we sit so my belief is right now the path forward is pass the
00:08:25.660
dod appropriations bills to fund our troops pass a bill that will fund government but contingent upon
00:08:32.720
hardcore border security like the hr2 that we passed in the spring send that over to the senate and dare
00:08:38.100
them to blink that will and then have that fight and if they won't fund border security and and fund our
00:08:44.960
troops the way we send it to them to take out the woke garbage and stop funding abortion tourism
00:08:48.960
then that's on them that's what i think we ought to do so you would pass something though for social
00:08:54.520
security so there the safety net doesn't go away wouldn't you yeah social security is fine uh you know
00:09:01.880
that will be taken care of uh i think we need to fund troops to make sure that that's taken care of
00:09:07.000
i think we need to uh have border security attached to it cr that we believe will get the job done
00:09:12.580
and uh and then if the democrats won't fund that that's on them then that's their shutdown and they
00:09:18.080
own it chance of that happening we're working on it uh i don't know i mean at the end of the day right
00:09:26.100
now it is my my view is when is it going to be enough for republicans to do what they always
00:09:31.740
campaign on doing that's what this is about no no no no no chip this is not about that this is about
00:09:37.540
this is the last chance the republicans have this is it if if you know why people aren't paying really
00:09:47.600
attention to the uh hunter and and joe biden scandal which is the most dangerous scandal ever in our
00:09:55.920
history if it's true the reason why we're not paying attention to it most people is because they
00:10:01.640
don't think anything's going to be done and if the republicans drop the ball yet again they have just
00:10:10.180
a little bit of power and they can't wield that power they're done who is going to vote for another
00:10:19.560
republican i already worry that republicans won't be able to win because there's so many people that
00:10:26.080
are willing to sit on the side rightfully so in some ways because these people don't do anything
00:10:32.320
but lie to us they say they're going to do it they get the opportunity and they fail every time
00:10:38.360
the republicans are done after this and i think that's what this is about sorry to yell at you
00:10:45.400
uh glenn look i i agree with you and i agree with your frustration uh all i can say is that we're
00:10:51.440
trying to lay bare uh what is happening in the swamp and make it very clear to everyone watching
00:10:58.160
who's trying to fight and do and what i meant when i was saying this about when will when will it be
00:11:03.800
enough for republicans to do what they say they will do and campaign on what i'm saying is what you're
00:11:09.040
saying is that that is what the voters are expecting us to finally do and you know i listen to my
00:11:15.620
colleagues i listened to some of them this morning and they say something like well we will we never
00:11:20.820
win a shutdown fight they always blame us glenn i said guys why do you think that is because you
00:11:27.300
self defeat you initially announce right out of the gate we're not going to win this fight
00:11:33.300
well of course you're not going to win the fight like can you imagine a head coach in a football game
00:11:37.680
going out and going well we never win these games you know we just let go out there and you know try
00:11:42.920
it's it's it's absurd if i hear one more person bring up the art of war and talk to me about their
00:11:50.060
strategy about how all if we do this will win and and i heard somebody this morning say you know i
00:11:55.740
don't want to pick a fight that i don't win when have we won glenn i mean in my lifetime in congress
00:12:01.420
tell me i'm 51 you tell me over the last three decades when you've thought oh boy boy that republican
00:12:08.060
conference they really nailed it there never right so my point is force actual trajectory change
00:12:16.160
you know in a shift or get out of the damn game yes that's my view here's here's something chip you
00:12:22.020
should share with them right now 35 percent of democrats think democrats think that the president
00:12:31.040
did something illegal now there's not a mainstream media outlet that isn't singing his praises and saying
00:12:40.760
they have no evidence of anything illegal the mainstream media does not have the power it used
00:12:47.740
to stop being afraid of the mainstream media because if you think it's bad when they turn on you
00:12:55.740
wait until the new media starts uh turning on people as well not going to be good not going to be good
00:13:04.140
stop being afraid of the mainstream media it's shadow boxing at this point
00:13:09.560
well i will say on the front on uh the impeachment effort uh jamie comer uh who i think is doing a
00:13:18.760
a good job trying to lay out the case remember that without the department of justice being able to
00:13:25.620
back up what we're trying to do with respect to investigations he's using the tools that we have
00:13:30.880
in the house which heretofore has been limited to uh what the what you're able to do for legislative
00:13:37.600
purpose i know that's a little nerd speak for in the swamp but the way our tools work that we have
00:13:42.380
in in the house you got to have a legislative purpose so they were having to go build the case
00:13:46.980
to now have an impeachment inquiry which gives you the tools to go now follow the bank record so
00:13:52.180
jamie and jim jordan now jordan because the impeachment inquiry are able to dive into that and
00:13:58.320
i do believe that they are diving into it fully to present the full case so that you can present
00:14:03.020
something strong to the senate but uh but but that's uh to be unfolding in the next month or so
00:14:08.080
yeah no i appreciate that chip and that wasn't the the point of my comment my point is if 35 percent
00:14:13.620
of democrats believe he did something illegal that number was zero before with the media giving all
00:14:21.000
of the hype they possibly can the media isn't working anymore it still has some effect but not the
00:14:29.780
effect it used to it used to be a shutout game every time it's not that way and times have changed
00:14:37.760
mit romney couldn't understand why why don't people like mitch mcconnell you know what maybe mit you are
00:14:43.400
too old maybe you don't understand that the whole world has changed and the republicans better wake up to
00:14:52.980
it chip thank you so much for your fight and everybody in the freedom caucus i appreciate everything you
00:14:58.520
guys are doing thank you uh god bless thank you guys take care this is the best of the glenbeck
00:15:09.260
program sid welcome to the program sir thank you for paying attention to this and and uh being on top of
00:15:15.820
it well good to be with you glenn and thank you for taking this on i mean it's it's a lonely hill i'm
00:15:22.040
trying to charge the top of there's not many uh if any elected officials that are aware that this is
00:15:27.620
going on it's the most dangerous thing threatening thing you know uh or at least one of them and to
00:15:33.120
our country uh that's happening i i'll put it up there equal to the invasion of our southern border
00:15:38.460
oh it is oh it is except this invasion is coming from the federal government um so tell me tell me what
00:15:45.280
is happening here in texas that you have found what's going on well there's a whole lot going on
00:15:54.160
first of all the 2030 plan they want to take 30 percent of the land out of production in idling
00:16:00.880
that would be larger than the louisiana purchase i mean a third of our country idled so that obviously
00:16:09.700
i'm the ag commissioner so that's that means no farming no grazing no agriculture but it doesn't
00:16:15.720
stop there that means no oil and gas production which is huge to texas it means no mining no timber
00:16:21.820
production it means no pipelines uh no transmission lines you know no high speed rail nothing no
00:16:28.620
fixing of roads or anything no fixing of roads no idle yeah they mean just idle like nothing yeah so
00:16:36.440
and it's it's a it's the you know it's a part of the global plan it's it's a reset you know and
00:16:43.520
this is phase one phase two is the 2050 they want half our land out of production by the year 2050 and
00:16:50.980
i'll tell you what uh from what i see glenn they're well on their way uh they're using existing laws to
00:16:57.480
restrict our land use uh we don't have a lot of blm land but we have national forest uh you know
00:17:04.800
national parks uh farmers have generational leases on this land where they've been farming it or running
00:17:12.440
cattle on it uh they're kicking them off those leases and so that land's going to be idle there'll
00:17:18.420
be no more uh agriculture production and no more oil and gas leases if you if you you sound like a guy
00:17:26.760
who's been out on a on a ranch a time or two you take away in most parts of the country the blm land
00:17:33.280
your uh meat production closes down oh absolutely and and uh that's just just one of the many
00:17:41.640
tentacles that that they're using they're also uh buying land uh stealthily you know you don't find
00:17:47.560
out that it's the federal government buying it until until the you know the purchase has been
00:17:52.340
consummated uh one thing that's really sneaky in agriculture we have something called uh conservation
00:17:58.960
reserve program and this is where farmers can put highly erodible land in the soil bank in other
00:18:05.780
words quit farming it you know it's it's marginal land uh put it in grass or timber uh so they do that
00:18:13.500
and then they have rewritten the rules on that uh uh through that big spending bill they passed you
00:18:21.300
know a while back the inflation reduction act uh these farmers don't know that the contracts have
00:18:26.880
changed and if they stumped their toe uh that land uh could end up being owned by the federal government
00:18:34.420
and every they're encouraged more people to sign up for that and when you do that that land is out
00:18:39.320
you can't do anything you can't even graze it nothing it's it's non-productive land uh another one
00:18:45.980
they're encouraging conservation easements uh people don't know what that is and it it sounds really good
00:18:52.540
but if i've got a ranch and i'm on the edge of dallas fort worth san antonio wherever and i don't
00:18:59.380
want the urban encroachment i want to preserve my family's heritage i can put my land in a
00:19:03.480
conservation easement and it can never be developed and so that protects it now it absolutely kills the
00:19:10.440
value of that land because you can i mean in perpetuity i mean not just for a little while like forever
00:19:16.340
no forever it is i mean it is it's crazy these i i i really disagree with uh and always have it's not
00:19:24.940
just it's not just on this uh currently i've always disagreed with ruling beyond the grave you you you
00:19:32.540
you don't have a right to um land in perpetuity you just don't when you die it can go to your family
00:19:41.440
okay but you can't when the family dies out you cannot rule from the grave it's immoral
00:19:50.080
that's exactly what this does but what these people don't understand and they don't tell them
00:19:57.880
the only people that can't develop that land is your family and you know future generations your
00:20:04.960
family it doesn't keep the city of dallas for taking it and building an airport it doesn't it doesn't
00:20:11.020
take you know the the the state from building a highway through it or high speed rail or pipeline or
00:20:19.760
you know transmission lines all the railroad all that can still happen the only people that can't do
00:20:25.860
anything with it is the people that own the land anybody has eminent domain power can do whatever
00:20:30.280
they want with it so it's kind of misleading okay so they're doing all kinds of things and and i
00:20:38.380
believe you that there are no politicians that are paying attention to this i've been ringing the
00:20:44.000
warning bell on this and other things for years um and everybody just dismisses it and it is happening
00:20:51.800

this is the best of the glenbeck program okay so last night i exposed the three biggest lies about
00:24:26.600
ukraine this is so important for you to understand because this goes in to build back better
00:24:33.880
it goes into uh the the impeachment hearings that are that are gearing up uh hunter biden and war
00:24:44.880
what's happening why is it happening what's really going on are they telling us the truth that we're
00:24:52.040
winning is it true that you know we gotta fight russia now is it really about democracy
00:24:58.860
hey as always you know you know how you feel betrayed sometimes by the government and you feel
00:25:05.900
like you've been lied to and you're like wait i thought we were the good guys and we're not the
00:25:09.880
good guys a lot of times um that's the way the ukrainians have got to be feeling and when they
00:25:16.420
find out all of this i think they're probably so bogged down in war they don't know what's really going
00:25:21.780
on but they are going to feel betrayed by their uh government as as well um you know just like in uh
00:25:31.380
just like in italy people loved mussolini until he betrayed them and uh then they hung him with a piano
00:25:39.440
wire this kind of stuff is so grotesque and you need to know first lie it's not about democracy
00:25:48.280
okay it's about democracy no it's not that's a lie and i'll show you what it's really all about
00:25:53.380
in a second number two we got to fight russia we got to fight russia now lie three they're
00:26:00.980
trustworthy most of this is going right to where it needs to go it's going to the people it's going
00:26:05.480
to the front lines we can trust them okay not true let me start on that one okay
00:26:13.880
who sends this kind of money over without any oversight okay nobody nobody responsible maybe
00:26:23.140
in an emergency like hey we got to get this to them right now but now we're we're into this for
00:26:30.940
we're sending weapons over worth billions of dollars yeah yeah yeah but where are those weapons
00:26:40.460
going and where's the actual cash going outside of satire the world's the world's the words
00:26:51.020
trustworthy and ukraine have never been used in the same sentence never it's a corrupt country no
00:26:59.200
matter how many times somebody tries to intervene and change things it just keeps going on that's why
00:27:04.740
corruption must not stand here we must put it out or we'll never get out of the cycle
00:27:13.020
now all of this used to be common knowledge it used to be spoken openly in the media but now
00:27:19.460
you point this out you're you're a putin lover you don't love putin no i don't
00:27:24.880
i feel for the people of ukraine russia is clearly the bad guy and did horrible things and should have
00:27:47.260
and there's photographic evidence and evidence that i gave you three years ago
00:27:54.300
there is a group of nazis fighting on the front line can you bring the picture up um they're
00:28:02.540
fighting on the the front line and these are not like oh they're republicans that for therefore
00:28:09.200
they're nazis these are nazis okay these are like the ones in charlottesville that we hate so much
00:28:15.700
and the president didn't say you know they're really horrible people that ought to be vaporized
00:28:23.120
because he didn't say that he was a nazi and that went on for four years we are sending our money to
00:28:29.660
actual nazis on the front line the guardian has pointed the nazi thing out nine years ago
00:28:38.340
and it was a crazy time ukrainian government couldn't control all the militias and springing up
00:28:44.780
on their border but that was nine years ago how did that happen there's an article from a month
00:28:54.600
after the invasion last year it confirms that the azov battalion is now an official member of the
00:29:02.940
ukrainian national guard that that is well there's a picture of them with the ss insignia
00:29:10.380
with the nazi flags flying official member of the ukrainian national guard are they getting any of
00:29:20.440
our money now are we supposed to ignore this we send them advanced weapons every other week who's
00:29:29.120
monitoring just the weapons to ensure the nazis aren't getting them i mean but even the mere fact
00:29:37.020
that we actually need to make sure the weapons don't go to the nazis the literal nazis should say
00:29:46.040
it all but they're not alone they're also joined now by the radical islamic battalions the times
00:29:55.380
notes that they can be heard yelling ala akbar while fighting on the front lines we'd like to know
00:30:01.620
i'd like to know islamists have they been palling around with isis or al-qaeda before they rushed in to
00:30:09.140
fight the russians did ukraine even check are we giving them weapons
00:30:14.160
there's a reuters article that uh that notes that many of these questionable militias were getting direct
00:30:24.240
funding from the oligarch and former head of privat bank igor kolomoisky all you need to know
00:30:33.060
is kolomoisky his bank privat bank is dirty we under joe biden we put what was it seven billion dollars
00:30:46.540
of united states aid into privat bank that's gonna be used a little later and then it just disappeared
00:30:54.300
nobody knows what happened really you a bank can lose seven billion dollars and we're not stopping
00:31:04.800
all funding that happened when he was vice president kolomoisky is also an interesting name
00:31:11.700
because he was in the news last week he was arrested in ukraine over fraud and money laundering ties
00:31:19.600
huh the guy who lost the seven billion dollars in his own bank he's been that's weird now it is weird
00:31:30.820
because if it wasn't for kolomoisky there wouldn't be a president zelensky you know the boy scout of the
00:31:38.780
world he's the greatest guy he's a boy scout we can trust him how are they connected well it was his
00:31:48.660
tv channels that put the zelensky comedy show on what was that show it was about a teacher so tired of
00:31:58.620
corruption he just ran for uh president of ukraine and he became a president and he cleaned up corruption
00:32:06.600
and the laughs ensued that was kolomoisky's tv stations then it was a pre-campaign ad really
00:32:21.580
so now wait a minute why would zelensky just arrest the man that helped him become president
00:32:30.020
i mean okay he's super super clean he found out about it really you just found out about it
00:32:37.960
he found out about it he's like i gotta get rid of this guy okay possible sure but then there's
00:32:44.160
something called the pandora papers have you even heard about the pandora papers i think maybe in
00:32:50.260
passing but until my research department found this next little nugget i don't think i paid attention
00:32:57.480
to the pandora papers at all this comes from the bbc the pandora papers probably the largest leak of
00:33:06.360
financial information in history it was 6.4 million documents more than a million emails detailed how
00:33:14.100
the most powerful people in the world hid vast amounts of wealth through offshore shell companies
00:33:21.800
now where have i been hearing about offshore ship biden's they've got up to what is it 22 24
00:33:29.820
offshore shell companies now guess who pops up in the leak of the pandora papers no it's not biden's
00:33:38.800
it's the world's favorite golden boy now the president of ukraine zelensky the man who ran for president
00:33:48.460
on the platform of ending corruption is corrupt you can't make this stuff up the man who just
00:33:55.540
accused his political rival of hiding money through offshore shell companies surely he's not doing the
00:34:02.440
same thing yes he is and has been for a while now how come this this isn't everywhere well because
00:34:14.140
those papers came out four months before russia invaded and nobody wanted a bad story about zelensky
00:34:22.620
so it just went away and all of the billions of dollars are being funneled to a guy who's got offshore
00:34:31.220
accounts and is involved with oligarchs that great the pandora papers revealed that zelensky and i quote
00:34:40.260
participated in a sprawling network of offshore companies co-owned with his longtime friends and tv
00:34:48.840
business partner you know what donald trump you know the mistake it wasn't the perfect phone call
00:34:55.680
because he didn't know the guy on the other end was part of this scam
00:35:02.340
these same accomplices were brought into zelensky's presidential staff one of them was appointed uh to
00:35:11.640
the head of the ukraine's sbu which is kind of like the fbi and cia combined so one of the guys
00:35:17.840
participating is charge of that remember the guy who was uh just uh fired from their pentagon
00:35:25.460
he was fired for corruption as well just last week um so the personal friend of the president that
00:35:35.720
participated in multiple offshore shell companies corrupt but why did his boss and apparent offshore
00:35:43.580
business partner get a pass how did he get away there was a war that's it there was a war
00:35:52.720
and what did the world do send this guy to oversee billions of dollars
