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
00:04:07.900
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
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
00:09:31.800
economic growth to occur but it will also safeguard our liberty by prohibiting stupid laws like those
00:09:39.160
you've referred to just a moment ago not pass through the constitutional process but by unelected
00:09:43.620
unaccountable bureaucrats it'll put congress in charge of that now congress won't always make the right
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:30:26.520
eventually say okay okay okay enough well have we had enough yet
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
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
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
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
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
00:35:17.400
freaking idiots at dhs that are holding them back we were just uh just talking about china's invasion
00:35:25.040
plan uh for russia and it was to send a million people over the border to surrender their guns and
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
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
00:36:39.640
undermining our energy freedom they're spending us to death they're opening up our borders for
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
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
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
00:41:38.760
know spending of money we don't have uh recklessly uh stop the stupid inflation reduction act tax credits
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
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
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
00:43:57.280
even talking about the woke weaponized dei crap that they're doing over the pentagon for example so
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
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
00:44:18.120
