00:00:04.180 people said that hackers would get better and better and better they'd start hacking everything

00:03:12.500 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:03:23.000 i got a word right before we get what we're going on that mike lee might be a little bit late and i'm

00:03:32.180 like you tell him we're not on mormon standard time which is usually five minutes late because

00:03:37.420 you've got 18 kids that you're trying to get into the back of the van um but he's on time mike lee

00:03:43.060 welcome how are you sir doing great and whether or not i was going to be on time was never in doubt

00:03:50.060 never in doubt never in doubt hey i've got three things i want to talk to you about first of all

00:03:54.320 well actually four but i want to we've got about 10 minutes so i want to see if we can get all of it in

00:04:00.480 impossible task uh first of all your thoughts on the border

00:04:04.000 look um the border

00:04:07.900 is an unbelievably intense state of crisis i've spent two years of my life on the u.s mexico border

00:04:16.820 i know that people who suffer most from these border crises are recent immigrants themselves the

00:04:23.780 poorest of the poor look the expiration of title 42 doesn't have to prove disastrous

00:04:30.300 but but it will prove disastrous unless secretary my org is he says he's done everything he can

00:04:37.620 that is absolute malarkey absolutely so when is anybody going to go after him and impeach him

00:04:45.320 we've talked about this is there a chance of that well yeah i look i've been calling for his

00:04:51.060 impeachment i know for many weeks now because he's refused to enforce the border and he still

00:04:57.980 could enforce the border if if he were to start detaining asylum seekers crossing our southern border

00:05:05.280 until their claims are adjudicated which the law already requires glenn title eight of the u.s code

00:05:12.180 already requires this and then immediately repatriating those who can't be detained based 0.58

00:05:18.160 on lack of detention facility bed capacity that would fix it it would fix it almost immediately

00:05:24.600 we have 400 000 we have 400 000 people coming across our border this month this month we we have

00:05:32.600 millions that have come in now since biden got in enough to build you know like the fifth or sixth

00:05:39.500 largest city in america and we're expecting this not to change our culture we are kids don't know

00:05:47.500 american history now you're bringing people in who don't know american history how do we expect to

00:05:53.040 remain america unless people in congress begin to act and hold these people accountable

00:06:01.060 uh it'll be very very difficult for us to do that which is why it's absolutely essential that we take

00:06:09.660 those steps right now and and look the white house and the department of homeland security have known for

00:06:15.240 a really long time that this day was fast approaching and they've refused to fix the problem

00:06:21.240 even though they have the tools to do it under existing law but in the meantime you've got these

00:06:27.620 international drug cartels don't want uh the department of homeland security to enforce

00:06:32.440 the law and protect the border why well because they're making billions of dollars uh making billions

00:06:39.940 of dollars specifically off of the biden administration's refusal to enforce the law came and

00:06:45.060 gradually mike let me let me switch uh real quick i just want to ask does the president have the right

00:06:50.920 to just change the uh debt limit on his own on no planet does the president of the united states

00:06:59.240 have the authority to just and if he tries to do that what are the consequences well if he tries to do

00:07:06.320 that um that is an impeachable offense if he just openly flouts the law just disregards it and says i

00:07:15.500 don't have to and and does so based on this extremely flawed theory that the 14th amendment somehow

00:07:22.920 renders it unnecessary look he didn't take that position in 1984 when he said i'm not going to

00:07:29.300 vote to raise the debt ceiling under president ronald reagan because uh there's nothing in there that um

00:07:35.080 you know adequately controls the debt he didn't raise it then he didn't raise it in 2011

00:07:41.140 right when he is vice president of the united states was negotiating a debt ceiling package

00:07:46.360 this theory is science fiction fantasy his own people know it whether he knows it or not i i don't

00:07:53.560 know so he can't do this we we have several um problems going on right now all at once and one of

00:08:03.040 them is that the government just makes up things they just make up new laws we have people atf is coming

00:08:09.200 to people's doors and saying uh we know that you purchased this how they know i don't know we know

00:08:16.760 you purchased this you need to turn it over now uh you won't be in any trouble if you just turn it

00:08:22.280 over right now the atf is just changing the laws um there was uh uh we had you on recently about the rule

00:08:32.600 of lenity but we never got to it is is there anything to stop these uh agencies from just

00:08:41.420 making laws that they have no right to do there is and let me tell you about there is a beautiful

00:08:49.920 coincidence this ties directly into what we're doing on the debt ceiling the house passed bill

00:08:56.520 that deals with the debt ceiling contains among other provisions something called the reigns act

00:09:02.780 yes it contains the provision saying that anytime an executive branch agency makes up a law it can't

00:09:09.520 just kick in automatically congress has to affirmatively enact it into law which is why

00:09:15.160 of all the great provisions in there in that bill that was passed by the house which saves about a

00:09:20.660 trillion dollars in year one alone five trillion dollars over the next 10 years the reigns act

00:09:27.040 may well be the single most important because it'll safeguard not only our financial future by allowing 0.98

00:09:31.800 economic growth to occur but it will also safeguard our liberty by prohibiting stupid laws like those 0.97

00:09:39.160 you've referred to just a moment ago not pass through the constitutional process but by unelected 0.94

00:09:43.620 unaccountable bureaucrats it'll put congress in charge of that now congress won't always make the right 1.00

00:09:48.560 decision but when i make the wrong decision the american people will kick us out correct and this

00:09:54.380 you you feel like this has a chance of passing absolutely it has a chance of passing because look

00:10:02.820 here's the deal i i led the senate republican conference in putting together this letter

00:10:07.540 to majority leader chuck schumer stating our collective commitment to oppose raising the debt ceiling

00:10:14.280 without substantive spending and budget reform and so in the senate you can kill any bill if you've

00:10:21.140 got 41 senators any group of 41 senators opposing it we've got 43 who signed my letter we've got two more

00:10:28.560 who have agreed to support basically the same thing we've got a total of 45 we only needed 41

00:10:33.600 to stop a clean debt ceiling increase if we will stand behind what the house passed

00:10:39.620 and and insist that at a minimum the reigns act be in there

00:10:44.280 you know it'll it'll be in there i mean i will tell you mike even if you fudge on the uh debt ceiling

00:10:53.720 and you don't get all the cuts you wanted having the reigns act may be may be uh worth

00:11:02.500 all other sacrifices i i i believe one could make that argument and glenn i i if i if a genie appeared to

00:11:12.200 me and said you can pass any bill just magically uh that has been introduced in congress and is now

00:11:18.860 pending it probably would be the reigns act for the very reason you described let me explain it again

00:11:23.660 for for people who have not heard of the reigns act the problem we have right now is we are ruled by

00:11:29.680 experts and all kinds of bills have passed and said you know this is uh you know this is the this is the

00:11:38.080 health care bill but what it really means will be decided by the secretary and so the agency makes

00:11:44.500 all of the laws the atf can just say you know what we're saying that this gun is now illegal because

00:11:51.460 we have the power well they don't have the power the reigns act takes all of that power and makes it

00:11:58.860 very very clear it belongs to congress and it it guts these federal agencies of their powers to make

00:12:07.620 new laws and rules which is gigantic gigantic enormous and you know in a in an odd twist of irony

00:12:18.320 franklin d roosevelt when he was governor franklin d roosevelt in the early 1930s governor of the state

00:12:24.420 new york once gave a speech in which he he said i've concluded that if tyranny ever comes to america

00:12:30.780 it will come in a form of soft tyranny in which we're led around by experts right masterminds who

00:12:39.920 will purport to know what's best for us at every moment and it will also come about only when all

00:12:45.960 power is concentrated in the federal government kind of uh eerily descriptive of some of the things

00:12:53.880 he's dealing with today right we've got to take our back as the constitution requires it and really

00:12:58.380 interesting that he would do that when he started a lot of these agencies and gave them so much power

00:13:04.000 he's the one who set this whole thing in motion yeah well well let's give uh let's give uh papa

00:13:11.380 wilson uh a nice tip of the hat too look there's no question woodrow wilson was the worst president

00:13:18.260 an american thank you thank you ever openly contemptuous uh toward the constitution but

00:13:24.620 with wilson we had a supreme court who pushed back on him hard enough that he didn't get very correct

00:13:30.780 fdr came along and kind of finished the job yeah and that's where why we are where we are today one

00:13:38.320 more thing because i can't i can't get you on the air for a second time where i wanted to talk about

00:13:43.600 the rule of lenity and not at least get a 30 second answer on the rule of lenity what is that

00:13:49.560 okay the rule of lenity says that when there is an ambiguity in a criminal statute uh that the courts

00:13:58.360 will interpret that statute in a way that is more generous toward the would-be defendant either the

00:14:06.780 defendant or if it's a civil case trying to ascertain the meaning in advance toward the would-be

00:14:11.560 criminal defendant and so so so let me ask you so if i have let's say i had a uh uh a a one of those

00:14:24.860 uh braces pistol brace for your for your arms okay that the the atf said for 10 years they're totally

00:14:31.340 legal now they change it and now they're making people uh felons if you don't turn them in or

00:14:38.980 whatever um well wouldn't the rule of lenity say well no wait a minute you're confused because

00:14:46.960 you just said that it was fine and you said it for a long time now you're changing your mind

00:14:52.500 so you don't really have the right to declare that this is a felony because you're confused yourself on

00:15:00.940 what's legal and not correct yes yes that is exactly right and that is essentially what the u.s

00:15:07.920 court of appeals for the sixth circuit held in a recent case called hardin versus atf so wait wait

00:15:13.840 wait why doesn't that work with income tax because everyone says we don't really know what the law is

00:15:21.420 some people say this some people say that well why doesn't the rule of lenity um protect you then

00:15:28.120 the there are instances in which the rule of lenity could be invoked uh with respect

00:15:37.920 to the internal revenue code you're never going to get one that applies to the entire code you might

00:15:44.340 get such a ruling with regard to a specific provision of that uh but um it's not always

00:15:52.740 invoked and when it is invoked it doesn't always prevail i'm glad that it did prevail in this uh in

00:15:58.000 this hardened fee atf case in the sixth okay uh mike thank you so much keep up the hard work

00:16:03.920 talk to you again soon you bet bye-bye uh the thing you need to take away from this interview is you

00:16:10.440 watch for the reins act when they're negotiating you've got to call your senator and your congressman

00:16:18.240 and strengthen their spine and say to congress thank you for supporting this thank you for putting that

00:16:25.160 in the bill do not allow that to be cut i we can disagree on this but i really truly believe that's

00:16:32.980 more important than another raise of the debt ceiling go ahead raise the debt ceiling that's a horrible

00:16:41.140 idea it is awful however if you get the reins act you can begin to cut all of these things through

00:16:50.100 congress they'll have some control over these agencies and that's what's causing tyranny of these

00:16:57.940 agencies you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program wade miller is uh with us hello uh wade how

00:17:06.440 are you sir i'm good thanks for having me on so um the response by governor abbott i think is a

00:17:15.040 little lackluster i i think we should declare uh in emergency uh which i think he has but i mean a

00:17:22.720 true crisis or invasion and he should seize the powers that i believe he has in the constitution

00:17:31.720 and get this under control yeah i agree so he has uh an inherent authority under article one section 10

00:17:40.920 clause 3 especially when the federal government is failing to uphold article 4 section 4 which

00:17:46.760 mayorkas and biden are clearly doing and that grants governors unique authorities that are

00:17:52.520 constitutional authorities they're not subject to federal immigration law or cases like arizona vus

00:17:58.580 uh that that are broad powers that would allow the governor to take some unprecedented actions and so

00:18:04.720 what he's been doing under operation lone star is he has been detaining and then taking migrants to

00:18:12.600 ports of entry where he turns them over to federal agents uh and then of course they're processed and

00:18:17.860 then released into the interior or he's been busing them around the united states what he has not been

00:18:23.220 doing is taking them back into mexico and so we have been asking him for two years to one declare an

00:18:29.400 invasion and then provide authorities to agents to actually do something with that declaration he has

00:18:37.200 stopped shy of the second one i'm getting some anecdotal evidence as of this morning from border

00:18:43.660 patrol agents that there might be a positive development on that i'm happy to talk through that

00:18:47.660 but historically operation lone star has been a lot of bluster and a lot of rhetoric but it has not done

00:18:54.240 anything to fundamentally change the situation on the border i mean and a lot large parts of

00:18:59.840 operational lone star have amounted to just piling money up and then setting it on fire okay so tell

00:19:05.560 me what you're hearing from the border today on this so i was on a phone call this morning with a border

00:19:12.000 patrol agent that's a federal agent and and that agent indicated to me uh that they were actually not

00:19:18.880 allowed into certain parts of the border that they remained in a staging area and that the texas national

00:19:25.400 guard and texas dps were actually locking down that section now this is anecdotal we don't have an

00:19:33.320 official position from abbott on that stating that this is a change in policy so until then as is the

00:19:39.460 case usually with abbott i'm going to be very cautious i don't want to give him uh any credit for

00:19:44.120 something he often says very good things and then doesn't follow through but if this occurs in other

00:19:50.780 sectors that's a huge development now abbott does not have the agents that he needs uh right now to

00:19:57.880 actually do this across the entire border which is actually why you know speaker dave uh feeling and

00:20:03.160 the texas republican speaker of the house there he killed hb20 which would have sought to start to

00:20:08.820 alleviate that problem by creating a border protection unit uh not surprised there that

00:20:13.800 dade killed that bill because he's a big open borders liberal republican but uh if this is the

00:20:19.420 case and abbott is actually changing policy this would be a huge step it then becomes incumbent upon

00:20:25.560 other republican governors to send resources and personnel that abbott can deputize under state of

00:20:33.280 texas authority and then deploy to other sectors and then duplicate this policy change so i'm still

00:20:39.780 looking into this but the fact that a federal border patrol agent told me this uh directly on a phone

00:20:45.100 call just this morning and i've talked to uh many other border officials and they're hearing the same

00:20:50.700 thing that's a good first step it these will be very small parts of the border but if true we should

00:20:57.800 thank abbott and we should encourage him to uh ask other governors for help but again i want to be

00:21:02.980 cautious right and not go too far too soon well i know that um um the attorney general i've talked to

00:21:11.260 him and and he has said to me that he he wishes the um uh the governor would give him something that he

00:21:21.400 had to defend in other words take this action let uh the fed say you can't do that so he can go and

00:21:30.080 then fight it and win because he believes he can win is it possible that he's he's giving him that uh

00:21:38.240 that opportunity today i think so so there's two tracks that this could go down if they're doing it

00:21:45.800 as a narrow challenge to arizona vus that's one possible pathway uh which would undo a bad supreme 0.70

00:21:54.700 court precedent that essentially says i'm making this very simplified that states can't unilaterally

00:22:00.680 enforce federal immigration law or if it's under an invasion declaration article one authority

00:22:06.580 that's a novel concept past courts have said that that's non-justiciable i always mess that word up

00:22:12.980 but what does it mean basically means that it's a political question and that they don't have the

00:22:17.260 power to question it uh so if that's the case there's really good a really good track record here

00:22:22.940 that this would stand legally and it would set a precedent that any time that the federal government

00:22:28.080 is failing to secure the border any border state can step in and do that under their article one

00:22:33.220 powers that's ultimately what we want to get to because arizona vus is weak based upon what current

00:22:39.820 federal immigration law is and current federal immigration law is weak it has too many asylum 1.00

00:22:44.260 loopholes etc so i would prefer the state of texas go down the invasion declaration route make it an

00:22:49.900 article one legal question and then set that precedent into perpetuity empowering states greatly and

00:22:56.320 just to just to clarify that what that means in article one is if there is an invasion and the federal

00:23:05.100 government is not doing all that it can to repel that invasion the state has a right to repel it

00:23:13.000 itself that's correct and an invasion can be defined very broadly an unwanted uh uh you know presence on

00:23:20.560 another's domain uh james madison thought that this applied to smugglers sam houston of course if you're in

00:23:27.460 texas everyone knows who sam houston is there uh he thought this applied to cross-border uh mexican

00:23:33.940 bandits so and there's a lot of precedent here uh on our side uh that you know cartels are both

00:23:41.360 smugglers and cross-border bandits in many respects and and worse than both i think it's very clear that

00:23:48.420 the founders had a position that although border security was primarily the duty of the federal

00:23:54.440 government they would not have limited themselves or tied their hands behind the back if the federal

00:24:00.140 government became destructive to the ends of the needs of the states but they wouldn't have any

00:24:04.860 options to step into that breach and protect their own citizens so of course this clause empowers

00:24:10.440 governors in this instance especially given how violent cartels are how they're using every single

00:24:15.840 person that's crossing the border as a part of their enterprise they make money off of every person

00:24:20.340 that crosses the border and of course they use cross-border illegal uh illegal cross-border movement

00:24:25.340 to mask uh fentanyl uh that's getting snuggled across the borders hundreds of thousands of people are

00:24:31.480 dying so yes governors have this power and we certainly encourage governor rabbit to use it wade

00:24:36.300 is there an increase because of article 40 or i mean uh yeah article 42 title 42 being um revoked now

00:24:46.680 did we see the border go ahead yes the border is exploding because of this the cartels have been

00:24:53.120 actively working uh with state actual governments and and and getting the word out to their supply lines

00:25:00.800 that it's now is the time to come forward and and that message was received and people are starting

00:25:06.160 starting to show up on the border and the tens of thousands there's tens of thousands of more on the

00:25:10.500 way of course uh we're going to hit record numbers this year there were over three million gotaways

00:25:16.000 just last year alone it's 1.5 officially but it's about double that in reality that's just the

00:25:22.600 gotaways not the people that went to the ports of entry bogusly claimed asylum and then were released

00:25:27.760 uh you know this is a big problem uh we're seeing people from all sorts of different countries that 1.00

00:25:33.060 we haven't seen in high numbers before starting to head this way there's real national security

00:25:37.900 concerns uh the cartels are working directly with the mexican government in many respects we've got a

00:25:43.540 big problem on our hands uh right now big problem and it's all because of the biden administration

00:25:48.080 wade uh stay in touch with us if you get more evidence that this is what texas is doing and the

00:25:53.980 governor is doing we want to we want to of course uh herald him for doing that but i i like you

00:26:00.360 will wait and see um he's he's he's kind of leading from behind in my opinion on many things including

00:26:08.940 this wade thank you thanks for having me on you bet bye-bye wade miller uh you can um uh find him

00:26:17.180 on twitter at wade miller underscore usmc uh so article one section 10 clause 3 of the united states

00:26:26.440 constitution this is the one known as the compact clause and this is what it says no state shall

00:26:33.900 without the consent of congress lay any duty of tonnage keep troops or ships of war in a time of

00:26:41.680 peace enter into an agreement or compact with another state or with foreign powers or engage in

00:26:49.060 war unless actually invaded or in such imminent danger as it will not admit of delay the clause

00:26:57.600 then has restrictions on what the states can do specifically you cannot impose taxes on ships based

00:27:05.900 on their tonnage their weight or cargo without a consent of congress two you can't keep troops or

00:27:12.660 warships in times of peace without the consent of congress three you can't enter into agreements or

00:27:19.120 other compacts with other states or foreign powers without the consent four declaring war or engaging in

00:27:26.220 war unless actually invaded or in imminent danger that doesn't allow for delay this was

00:27:35.680 put in the constitution by our founders to make sure that the federal government remained in control of all of our

00:27:44.200 international relations and war powers they didn't want states being able to declare war on mexico and

00:27:51.820 then rope the entire country uh into it this i believe that the state of texas and the united states of america

00:28:05.440 is in imminent danger and the government has delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed and showed

00:28:14.080 they're not serious about an invasion now if you can't say that three million people coming into our country

00:28:27.000 is not an invasion then you don't know anything about military strategy

00:28:32.120 do you know what the chinese military strategy was against russia they would send a million people

00:28:40.880 over their borders and surrender do exactly what's happening right now come over the border

00:28:48.200 and say we just need asylum they would come over the border into russia and surrender million of them 0.70

00:28:56.580 then when that had been processed they'd come over the border another million and surrender

00:29:03.220 after five days of this they could overwhelm russia and russia would collapse that was the invasion 0.97

00:29:15.300 strategy for china against russia in modern day

00:29:21.220 now why do we think that this isn't a strategy to collapse america when we know we have people in our own

00:29:32.780 government that want to collapse america and we know that we have foreign governments that want to

00:29:40.000 collapse america we are focused on well we got to find out exactly what's happening on social media

00:29:46.560 and then pay no attention to our border china is is a part of this strategy on our border which is their strategy

00:29:56.780 and the second strategy that china is using is the strategy the english used on the chinese with the opium war

00:30:06.440 put a base camp right at the border then take heroin uh an opium and make it as pure as you can

00:30:17.720 and push it into the country and get as many chinese people addicted to opium is possible the chinese will 0.99

00:30:26.520 eventually say okay okay okay enough well have we had enough yet

00:30:33.160 because i have

00:30:37.600 the best of the glenn beck program welcome to the glenn beck program

00:30:44.300 we're glad you're here uh there is a podcast that is available now at blaze tv it's tristan harris

00:30:52.860 if you don't know who tristan harris is you should he is a guy i probably have

00:30:59.620 more respect for than anyone else in big tech or ai um we're gonna go over some of the things that he

00:31:09.500 said it is shocking he gives us 12 to 18 months before it is too late to turn back and he says this

00:31:19.880 is the the fermi test this is the test of whether our species survives or not we'll give it all to you

00:31:28.340 top of the hour first we have uh chip roy on with us hello chip how are you sir

00:31:33.040 well glenn uh you know our state is under siege um and uh you know i think the american people are

00:31:39.980 seeing that firsthand and um you know fortunately the house republicans took action yesterday but uh

00:31:45.100 this administration is leaving us uh stranded so i don't understand we were just talking about

00:31:50.000 uh uh governor abbott uh i'd sure like governor abbott to start leading a little more than he

00:31:55.800 is i know he's shipping everybody out uh from texas to other states but that just hurts other states as

00:32:03.640 well this is an invasion you can't have 400 000 people coming in every month and expect to keep your

00:32:12.560 country you can't so there were some something like 30 000 apprehensions uh over the last three

00:32:20.000 days i'm trying to get updates about what's going on tonight i've got a few folks down at the border

00:32:23.840 giving me uh you know sort of the latest and greatest or the latest and most terrible and what

00:32:29.600 i'm hearing is right now is that the dps and national guard folks who are down there at the order of the

00:32:35.060 governor are actually on the front line trying to turn away and hold people back okay good while border

00:32:41.200 patrol is effectively retreated into just full processing by basically kind of order of the dhs

00:32:47.880 so we've had this kind of flip where it's actually texas folks trying to keep them from crossing

00:32:53.740 and border patrol pulled back to process so we you're the second source we have on this now so i i believe it

00:33:01.760 we just had somebody else on who said that's the word that they were getting but they believe it when

00:33:06.460 they saw it so if you're getting uh that as well maybe then the governor is um taking charge of the

00:33:15.020 border well look i think it's all a tough call right here man look i do think the governor and dps

00:33:21.640 they're trying to throw everything they have at it uh there is that kind of you get right up to that

00:33:25.540 point where you're either deciding to take over and literally take take charge to turn away and return

00:33:31.420 people and just put you know basically force your way in front of border patrol but as bill malugian

00:33:35.560 reported we don't have the resources we don't have enough people yeah but we don't have enough folks

00:33:40.200 and uh so it's it's hard right they'll just move to another place and then border patrol will just

00:33:44.720 usher them right in and by the way this is why the texas house should have passed hb20 which they

00:33:49.820 crapped on this last week instead of giving more resources to the governor and instead they're

00:33:54.820 passing freaking gambling bills that's your freaking texas house republicans in action they should have 0.65

00:33:59.120 given more support to the governor and they didn't do it so um well i just talked to wade miller uh for 0.95

00:34:04.360 citizens renewing america and and he said that if the governor calls other states they can send resources

00:34:13.100 down certainly i think other states are willing to work with texas i don't know the latest on that

00:34:20.640 of course wade's probably correct on that i know wade well um and i think there's there there's a number

00:34:25.840 of states that i know are willing uh to support i'm sure i'm confident florida would support uh and

00:34:31.620 look by the way god bless florida they just passed legislation they passed the strong e-verify bill

00:34:36.160 they passed other strong immigration uh uh you know language in their legislature that governor

00:34:42.120 de santa signed and then they just had a court you know strike down these releases of migrants

00:34:47.180 with nothing more than a you know ho please show up one day not not a required notice to appear so at 0.63

00:34:52.620 least they they uh put an injunction on that for two weeks uh so they're trying to help but uh look

00:34:58.260 we gotta we gotta do everything we can in texas and i'm just calling on the texas legislature get

00:35:02.620 their head out of their rear end give more resources to governor we need all states to kind of work with 0.90

00:35:07.740 texas to try to step into the breach because border patrol and this dhs they're pulling back now i want

00:35:12.160 to be clear the border patrol agents on the line you know they want to do their job you know it's the 0.99

00:35:17.400 freaking idiots at dhs that are holding them back we were just uh just talking about china's invasion 0.99

00:35:25.040 plan uh for russia and it was to send a million people over the border to surrender their guns and 1.00

00:35:32.260 to surrender to the russians after five million people across the border and surrender russia's

00:35:40.540 overwhelmed uh and it collapses and they win without firing a bullet this is exactly that

00:35:49.860 strategy if you believe somebody is trying to collapse the united states of america and i happen

00:35:56.000 to believe that well one thing we know for sure i got reports just yesterday of uh chinese nationals

00:36:04.020 that they're that they're running across we know that border patrol is now being pulled into pulled

00:36:09.060 back to do processing and are unable to process between ports of entry we know we've had 1.7

00:36:13.720 million gotaways we know that we've gotten people from all sorts of places uh you know connected to

00:36:18.060 foreign terror states and chinese nationals in the past we know exactly what's happening in terms of 0.99

00:36:22.340 the porousness of our border and we know exactly what you know evil a lot of people around this world

00:36:26.380 want to do and the problem is that what people haven't firmly come to grips with is that we've got

00:36:30.460 evil in our own white house and dhs we don't give a rat's rear end about our own sovereignty security

00:36:35.640 and they want to undermine our country they're literally at war with the american people they're 0.92

00:36:39.640 undermining our energy freedom they're spending us to death they're opening up our borders for 1.00

00:36:44.080 all manners of of uh danger from fentanyl to terrorists to china and you can only conclude that

00:36:50.040 it's purposeful there is no other logical conclusion chip i i will tell you next week i'm uh

00:36:56.640 uh i'm laying out a plan a constitutional plan uh that we have talked to uh scholars and attorneys and

00:37:05.520 uh and attorney generals uh about it and it is something that we can do to fight back but it is time

00:37:15.000 for americans to uh really dig into the constitution and into their state constitutions and find out

00:37:25.180 exactly what could be done because we're we're in an end game here at some point this will overwhelm i mean

00:37:33.080 i i've said it you look at the growth of texas of houston of austin at some point these cities are no

00:37:42.560 longer texas cities and i contend they already aren't they're no longer texas cities when we had

00:37:48.560 massive immigration at the turn of the century through ellis island you were at least given uh you

00:37:56.820 you know the the um the books on how to become an american they were stressing you gotta fold in and

00:38:06.140 become an american that's not happening you cannot add millions of people to your population

00:38:12.860 without that don't know nor care anything about your history when our population doesn't know or care

00:38:21.580 about our history or our system of government you will change fundamentally and you'll never be able

00:38:28.440 to go back to a a constitutional republic because no one will know what it is

00:38:34.540 all all of this is purposeful from the education system to the forest borders uh to what they're

00:38:41.220 trying to do to attack our financial stability banking system and just go down the line and there's

00:38:45.720 literally no other uh explanation for it uh we have to you know stand up and hold the line um

00:38:52.280 and i applaud you for for you know going down that road we have to do it as a free people we're not

00:38:56.940 just going to sit back and allow uh these tyrants in washington to undermine our god-given freedom

00:39:05.040 that's what's occurring that's going to be very clear i'm not going to allow that um as a free

00:39:10.500 citizen i'm going to protect my children my family my community uh from the tyranny of this

00:39:15.700 out-of-control government um right now as a member of congress you know my duty is to try to move the

00:39:20.880 ball forward as i can here it may be too little too late republicans for 20 years have pissed around 0.96

00:39:26.540 and not done anything on the border because they were in the hip pocket of the gosh darn chamber

00:39:30.360 of commerce well finally we've grown his spine we finally passed a strong border security bill and

00:39:35.440 i'm proud of it it's a good bill we passed it yesterday you know and it took a lot of wrangling

00:39:39.760 what does it what does it say what does it do so the bill is literally glenn and i wouldn't make

00:39:46.180 this up it is the strongest border security bill we've ever passed um it would make very clear that

00:39:51.000 the secretary a future secretary who's not corrupt for a republican has straight up authority to turn

00:39:56.100 away the border for any reason he or she sees fit that's a really important addition it's like title

00:40:01.180 42 but across the board and not related to health uh number two it would fix all of the crap loopholes

00:40:07.860 it would tighten the asylum definitions it would fix the unaccompanied children problems it would fix

00:40:12.420 the family unity separation problems created by courts and most importantly it would require and

00:40:17.620 it would be very specific in the statute overtaking all other laws and it would say you may not release

00:40:23.380 period unless someone is having a legitimate claim being adjudicated and i'm not i'm sorry not

00:40:29.080 not unless you may not release period but you must be detained or you must be in mexico while a

00:40:35.700 legitimate asylum claim is being um adjudicated period that's the end of it uh it's a good bill 0.99

00:40:41.500 it does e-verify it has additional resources for border patrol but only if we pass the policy changes

00:40:47.060 uh it has you know more funding for the wall etc you know again some of this is set up for a future

00:40:51.520 republican president if our country can even last 18 months and god willing we get a republican

00:40:56.920 elected that i'm not sure we can if we don't throw ourselves in front of this train right now

00:41:01.480 which raises questions of impeachment uh both for secretary mayorkas and the president it raises

00:41:06.720 questions about what the states do and it raises questions about the debt ceiling and the spending

00:41:10.620 fight i don't see how i as a responsible texan can move forward either the debt ceiling bill or a

00:41:16.480 spending bill if we don't address the border crisis it's an absolute abhorrent you know undermining

00:41:22.860 of our sovereignty security it's endangering texans so we'll see how this unfolds but we've got to use

00:41:28.220 either the debt ceiling or the spending fight in september or both to secure the border as well

00:41:33.460 as other things you know stop the pistol braces stop the world health organization stop the you 0.98

00:41:38.760 know spending of money we don't have uh recklessly uh stop the stupid inflation reduction act tax credits 0.90

00:41:44.080 now we did all of most of those things in our bill that we passed and sent over although we still 0.95

00:41:49.260 need to address you know the who and um the pistol braces and the border so let me ask i just talked

00:41:55.440 to mike lee about an hour ago he said uh congress you did your job and you put the reins act in uh the

00:42:02.600 budget uh and i said to him just shooting from the hip i think that's worth even raising the debt ceiling

00:42:12.220 uh some compromising on this to get the reins act i think that reigns in the uh u.s uh government

00:42:21.860 agencies in a way that would be extraordinary do you agree with that or not yeah totally thanks for

00:42:29.360 bringing that up and just for the listener out there what it means is that if you have any

00:42:32.120 regulation that has an economic impact or uh you know impact of greater than a hundred million dollars

00:42:36.880 uh then it has to go to congress for approval roughly that's the kind of dumb speak version of it

00:42:41.180 so it would significantly alter the balance of what these you know uh regulators these bureaucrats can do 1.00

00:42:46.560 without congressional uh engagement we've ceded too much authority to them yeah so yes it is an

00:42:51.720 extremely powerful piece i mean people don't realize i mean look i get slapped around on twitter

00:42:55.420 from the from the conservatives who i understand they're frustrated because they're they're assuming

00:43:00.580 we're doing what republicans have always done right we're not the speaker's agreement in january what

00:43:05.540 we did in the debt ceiling fight what we just did in the border bill this border bill is righteous

00:43:10.260 conservative and strong the debt ceiling bill we passed is awesome it's chock full of all sorts

00:43:16.020 of great stuff uh that we sent over to the senate so the question now is do we have the backbone to

00:43:20.940 not blink when we get up to june um you know deals can be made in order to move the ball down the field

00:43:25.860 but we should not blink on the need to address most or all of these things there's inflation

00:43:30.680 reduction act tax credits glenn yeah that money just goes into the hip pocket of liberal elitists

00:43:35.780 i know 90 percent of the dollars going to corporations they make over a billion dollars it funds the

00:43:40.400 destruction of the gas industry you're going to have a grid that's undermined your freedom is taken

00:43:45.320 away all to enrich enrich liberal elitists the reins act all these things they're good stuff but let's

00:43:52.020 be clear our borders on fire they're literally destroying every aspect of our way of life i'm not 0.95

00:43:57.280 even talking about the woke weaponized dei crap that they're doing over the pentagon for example so 0.61

00:44:03.480 we're gonna have to take all of these fights on all the way through uh and lord willing land the 0.96

00:44:09.060 plane with the republican president and get in and gut this place i will tell you that i there's not a

00:44:14.180 chance that i'm going to be in washington anytime soon but the next time you're in dallas i owe you
