00:01:36.500 you're listening to the best of the glenn back program

00:01:47.740 senator ted cruz is with us now uh senator i cannot believe the insanity that is coming out of this

00:02:01.080 white house we are shooting ourselves in both feet and the legs well glenn unfortunately you're

00:02:08.240 right uh this president has given over the agenda to the radical left in the democratic party and

00:02:14.880 we're seeing policy after policy that are hurting americans uh we're seeing economic policies that

00:02:20.860 are causing inflation to be galloping across the country that are causing gas prices to go through

00:02:26.500 the roof and and that is combined with foreign policy where joe biden has projected weakness

00:02:32.280 and has tried appeasement with respect to every enemy of america seemingly on the face of the planet

00:02:37.540 and and there's not a region on earth that hasn't gotten substantially worse for u.s national security in

00:02:44.520 the in the past year uh under joe biden if you look at russia uh biden's weakness is the direct

00:02:52.520 precipitating cause of russia's invasion of ukraine it's two decisions in particular that biden made

00:02:58.400 that caused this war and this is the the the largest land war in europe since 1945 since world war ii

00:03:07.040 it was caused by number one biden's disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan last year that the the withdrawal was

00:03:16.260 so so catastrophic that every enemy of america looked to washington looked to the oval office

00:03:23.260 and took the measure of the man in the oval office and unfortunately they determined that biden was weak

00:03:29.320 and feckless and ineffective and at the time i said publicly the chances of russia invading ukraine

00:03:35.380 just increased tenfold and the chances of china invading taiwan increased tenfold but secondly with respect to

00:03:43.820 russia and ukraine in particular president biden waived sanctions on russia on putin on the nordstrom

00:03:50.900 2 pipeline which is the pipeline that putin is building from russia to germany to circumvent ukraine

00:03:57.220 to go around ukraine and the purpose of the pipeline was to enable russia to be able to invade ukraine

00:04:03.440 without endangering the energy infrastructure they need to get their natural gas to europe i authored

00:04:09.660 the sanctions in the senate bipartisan sanctions to shut down nordstrom 2 president trump signed my

00:04:16.260 sanctions legislation in 2019 and putin stopped construction of that pipeline literally the day

00:04:23.620 that president trump signed my sanctions legislation when biden came into office he waived those sanctions

00:04:30.140 on russia he waived those sanctions on putin putin finished the pipeline and that is why we're seeing

00:04:37.080 this invasion because of joe biden's weakness ted the the insanity of of weakness in the um oval office

00:04:49.960 is i hope quite clear to most people but we have a lot of people now that have been you know um

00:04:58.800 ratcheted up with the screams of ban russian oil ban russian oil i'd like to ban russian oil

00:05:06.320 but not until we open up our own supplies and i'm not talking about the street in since insanity

00:05:14.800 at this point to go into our strategic oil reserve we've got to open up our oil fields and get pumping

00:05:23.640 again we don't have to beg and give gifts to despots and dictators and killers

00:05:31.120 well let me agree with you in the following respect which is what biden has done with regard to domestic

00:05:39.160 oil and gas production is lunacy as you noted in in 2019 the united states became a net energy exporter

00:05:48.000 we are an oil and gas superpower and we were exporting all around the world in 2021 under joe biden we lost

00:05:55.300 that status we're now importing energy and the reason is from literally the first day became

00:06:01.080 president joe biden has waged a war on american energy production and on american jobs first day in

00:06:09.220 office he killed the keystone pipeline that decision alone killed 11 000 high-paying jobs including 8 000

00:06:16.420 union jobs he simultaneously halted all new leases on federal lands both onshore and offshore and as

00:06:25.280 you noted shortly thereafter he ended production in anwar an incredibly uh resource rich uh region of

00:06:33.020 alaska all of those decisions in addition to the epa and the regulatory agencies waging war on oil and gas

00:06:40.380 production caused our our rig count to plummet caused u.s production to go down and and one of

00:06:46.760 the ironies you know you know biden claims he's doing this because he cares about the climate

00:06:51.720 if the only thing you cared about was energy then biden has or was was the environment rather

00:06:58.360 then biden has been an abysmal failure why because when you shut down american production and you increase

00:07:05.780 production overseas the production overseas is dirtier under joe biden the world is polluting more is

00:07:13.020 emitting more carbon because if you want less pollution you want american production and not russian 0.98

00:07:18.840 production not iranian production they actually don't give a damn about the environment it is a religious 1.00

00:07:25.220 fervor from the left to destroy oil and gas in this country even if the result of it is more

00:07:33.320 pollution and more carbon emissions which is what joe biden has produced so ted you i know you have

00:07:41.140 i know you know this the world is not set up for 150 a barrel oil or 180 or 200 it doesn't work um we are

00:07:54.320 playing a tremendous game of chicken here between putin and the united states honestly the one thing that

00:08:02.480 makes sense to me is the idea that maybe putin is just like you know what they'll collapse us but i bet

00:08:09.360 we'll we can collapse them first i mean this is nuts so so glenn here's where here's where i'll press

00:08:16.760 back with you a little bit i i think it is the right decision to go after putin using energy and and i've

00:08:24.660 been pressing on biden to halt to boycott russian oil and to boycott russian gas and so the news that's

00:08:31.120 being reported this morning is that biden finally is going to listen to that and at least halt uh the

00:08:36.560 importing of oil russian oil into the united states i think that's the right step to do but but the

00:08:41.980 second step and this is critical is that we need to pressure europe to do the same thing to cut off

00:08:47.880 russian oil and russian gas putin believes europe is addicted to russian oil and gas that he can do

00:08:53.180 whatever he wants and and that europe can't break their addiction well that's not in fact right there

00:08:58.200 there are ample supplies worldwide to meet europe's need in particular europe imports vast quantities of

00:09:05.640 natural gas from russia well the saudi arabia of natural gas is the united states and in particular

00:09:11.400 it's west texas the united states can supply europe's energy needs but the problem is right now under joe

00:09:18.120 biden there are six pending applications to export liquid natural gas that are all languishing the

00:09:25.320 biden administration is blocking what joe biden needs to do this morning is go on national television

00:09:30.700 with a pen and approve all six of them and we need to step in if you want to really weaken putin if you

00:09:37.440 want to starve his war machine putin needs to look and see european refineries begin buying oil from places

00:09:45.740 other than russia and and i will note the refineries won't just buy on the spot market the producers will

00:09:52.260 demand long-term contracts probably 10-year contracts nothing would do more to undermine

00:09:58.080 putin's power at home his political strength and the revenue to fund his war than to take away the

00:10:06.880 demand for their energy but to do that where you're exactly right is we need to replace it with our own

00:10:12.200 production we're we're blessed with the ability to produce the energy and biden doesn't want to

00:10:17.340 so that's that's that's the rub because i completely agree with if you want to hurt putin you're not

00:10:25.560 hurting him until you hurt him at the oil spigot or the gas spigot um so you've got to hit him there

00:10:32.380 however i have no faith that this administration is going to approve uh those uh uh those leases

00:10:42.440 expand start start start shipping gas from west texas to uh to europe we and then and then what

00:10:52.620 happens if we don't have our own oil and we are enriching despots uh first of all i mean look at the

00:11:03.260 price of gas yesterday was four dollars it's 417 today and it's going to keep going up and and and look

00:11:10.720 last week i introduced legislation in the senate called the energy freedom act that that would

00:11:16.320 unshackle american energy production it would reverse the disastrous decisions joe biden has put in

00:11:22.400 place it would allow the keystone pipeline to go away it would allow new development on federal lands

00:11:27.720 onshore and offshore it would approve these these lng exports it would remove the requirement for a 0.62

00:11:34.980 presidential authorization for cross-border pipelines there's no reason for that requirement to begin with

00:11:39.960 it it would allow america to step forward as an energy superpower again now i have no illusions

00:11:46.120 that joe biden is suddenly going to support uh these ideas at least easily but right now glenn

00:11:52.980 the biden administration has put more restrictions on u.s oil and gas producers than it has on russian oil

00:12:01.640 and gas producers that makes no sense and and as you noted the biden administration is literally going

00:12:08.320 hat in hand to enemies of america like venezuela begging them to sell us oil that they're in vienna

00:12:15.480 right now trying to negotiate a deal with iran begging the ayatollah to sell us oil trying to send

00:12:22.460 hundreds of billions of dollars to a theocratic despot who chants death to america and death to israel 0.75

00:12:29.720 it is lunacy that they would rather enrich enemies of america who want to murder us than actually have

00:12:37.800 good high-paying jobs in america that produce energy more cleanly and better for the environment

00:12:43.980 than iranian or venezuelan or russian oil real quick because i know you've got to run and i do too but

00:12:49.660 is there what do the people do what do people do to help how can we get this done we just uh look

00:12:57.400 speak out uh put pressure on your elected officials i'll tell you the the democrats are worried you

00:13:04.840 looked at biden's state of the union address last week and i was there for it it was i've seen now

00:13:10.460 i've been on the floor of the house for 10 different state of the union addresses it was by far the

00:13:15.100 weakest one i've ever seen but it was interesting he he did at least talk about inflation and gas prices

00:13:22.120 going up and and so they're seeing the concern but he didn't acknowledge his own policies or what's

00:13:27.760 causing it he didn't acknowledge the trillions in spending the trillions in debt that is fueling

00:13:32.380 inflation but but what we can do is is speak up and and make clear to our friends and family and

00:13:39.940 colleagues you know the little stickers that people are putting on gas pumps with a picture of joe

00:13:44.300 biden pointing at the price saying i did that those are powerful those are powerful because it's

00:13:50.540 people are starting to understand wait a second this doesn't make any sense this is hurting my family

00:13:55.880 and and i believe november is going to be a tidal wave election i think we're going to win

00:14:02.400 the house of representatives i think we're going to win the senate back uh in texas you and i are both

00:14:07.520 texans i'll tell you south texas i think south texas is is is turning red i think there's some very

00:14:13.900 strong candidates cassie garcia who's a republican running in south texas in a democratic seat i 0.68

00:14:19.460 think she's going to win monica de la cruz is a republican running in south texas in a democratic 1.00

00:14:24.460 seat i think she's going to win you want to talk about hispanic women who are conservatives turning 1.00

00:14:29.880 democratic areas red this is because of the lunatic policies of this administration that that are hurting

00:17:16.320 very it is drinking from a fire hose it's americanjourney.org americanjourney.org go there

00:17:25.980 now and apply to join us next week american journey experience we had a caller i think it was last

00:17:32.480 thursday they called in about a bill that was kind of interesting in mississippi uh and seems

00:17:40.340 problematic in in a lot of ways um and it's talking about well we should we actually have the

00:17:46.180 representative on let's let's have him tell us about he's from the mississippi freedom caucus his name is

00:17:49.960 uh steve hopkins he's a republican state representative from mississippi steve how are you

00:17:55.580 doing great how are you guys uh we're good we heard some a listener called in um and told us about

00:18:03.680 something that it was really disturbing about a bill that is in up for uh a vote in mississippi and a

00:18:12.320 couple of other uh i think uh tennessee and maybe alabama uh arkansas okay what is this bill

00:18:21.840 well it's the tri-state compact bill and i want to thank rebecca for calling in and uh bringing

00:18:30.160 you guys's attention to this because this is all about regionalism it's all about um setting up

00:18:39.620 quasi-governmental entities uh that subvert the law so what it would actually do is it would set up a

00:18:47.300 commission of people five from mississippi five from uh tennessee five from arkansas on a commission

00:18:55.820 that is unelected people who could make decisions uh without government oversight they're not subject

00:19:05.800 to the uh open policy open door policies or transparency laws uh they could issue imminent

00:19:14.940 domain orders they could take people's property uh to be able to do whatever they want to do so the the

00:19:22.840 the business the company that's behind all this is region smart um but uh it's the most heinous piece

00:19:31.360 of legislation that i've seen in my seven years here in the mississippi legislature so do we know

00:19:39.380 anything about region smart who are they uh we are finding out more than uh we could ever have asked for

00:19:48.140 these guys have ties to the urban land institute and a company called black rock um and uh all this glenn

00:20:01.180 all this goes back we believe to the clinton era uh clinton uh did an executive order i think it was back

00:20:09.640 in 1998 uh for sustainable development encouraging public private partnerships and shift shift

00:20:17.880 power from elected officials to appointed agencies well you fast forward now you've got this

00:20:24.960 infrastructure bill coming out and there's millions of dollars set aside for compacts well that's what

00:20:33.000 this bill would do it it it makes a compact of unelected officials in tennessee arkansas mississippi

00:20:42.080 who can basically they can tax they can issue bonds and they can take uh your land by eminent domain

00:20:50.080 we have the eminent domain law in mississippi and the law says that you can't that the government can't

00:20:58.480 take somebody's property and then give it to somebody or a private corporation within 10 years well

00:21:05.620 this would subvert that law because it's given uh you know them the power to do it and they're

00:21:13.840 unelected i i i have to i have to ask you i mean first of all steve thanks for being on this

00:21:20.200 thanks for you know being the chair of the mississippi freedom caucus but i can't imagine any

00:21:26.760 person who is actually representing the people voting for this this this is insane when if somebody

00:21:35.200 comes and says oh by the way eminent no domain you're gonna lose your house here's the money for

00:21:41.180 it uh and you gotta move those those legislators are going to be called by those constituents to say

00:21:49.420 hey you gotta stop this when they find out that those legislators voted for these people who are not

00:21:56.280 elected who as you say don't have any um uh transparency and they are just developing something that

00:22:06.440 god only knows what it's going to be and most likely you will be a renter not an owner if i know black

00:22:14.000 rock at all uh i mean those those people are going to be torn apart who is for this in the in the house

00:22:22.400 and senate well believe it or not the original house author is senator david parker from desoto

00:22:29.340 county uh which is in the compact desoto county mississippi and the explanation wasn't thorough

00:22:39.700 needless to say so it passed the senate unanimously oh my gosh well by the time it gets to the house

00:22:47.400 uh we you know we had some red flags immediately uh we started digging into it uh immediately and

00:22:56.940 pushing back on it once we saw what's in it because the initial explanation in the senate

00:23:02.400 doesn't cover any of this stuff so uh we you know uh and i want to thank andy roth from the freedom

00:23:11.720 caucus network that we're a part of for helping us to be able to dig through all this stuff because

00:23:17.960 uh as a member of the state freedom caucus network we we have the built we've got people helping us

00:23:23.700 dig through and find a lot of this information and background uh and we were able to tie like i said

00:23:33.080 these people to the urban land institute to black rock and like i said it's scary because you're

00:23:41.480 basically giving all this power to this commission of people now glenn you know that this is why we're

00:23:49.620 elected because we can be held accountable for bad decisions well this would give cover to bad

00:23:57.100 politicians where they could they could just say hey you guys make that decision and i just want to be

00:24:03.400 the good guy on all the good stuff correct but you guys go ahead and do that and that gives cover to

00:24:08.580 these bad politicians so um region smart uli uh is was a part of the equitable development challenge

00:24:18.880 event it was held in memphis showed the group to be black live matter supporters uh they trained on

00:24:26.000 racial equity wealth gap cultural sensitivity the 1619 project and implicit bias tests uh so they are

00:24:35.700 not necessarily a friend of our constitution um the odds that are well then it's just for a minute

00:24:42.300 is this close to passing in any of these street three states and what do people do

00:24:48.220 well we need people you can go to our website freedom caucus dot ms that's freedom

00:24:55.740 caucus dot ms and we've got a form on there uh where people can uh use the form to email the

00:25:03.060 representatives uh we need people to contact uh the speaker of the house uh the chairman of the

00:25:10.340 workforce development committee and all the representatives and plead with them to vote no on

00:25:16.440 this uh the deadline is tomorrow night at midnight oh my gosh so if it's if it if it isn't brought up

00:25:24.000 it'll die on the calendar so we just need this thing to die on the calendar and not even be brought up

00:25:30.300 for a vote okay um and this is happening in tennessee as well you know what's really insidious

00:25:37.020 about this is who wrote this bill because they're all the same are they not exactly uh we we found

00:25:44.980 something that said uh that tied region smart uh some of the money behind this was used to write

00:25:53.640 the bills so the bills have to be exactly the same in arkansas tennessee and mississippi so uh it looks

00:26:02.620 like region smart paid to have the bill written unbelievable steve thank you for everything you're doing

00:26:09.660 will you just keep us up to speed and let us know what happens um thank you for taking the time to

00:26:16.140 have me on oh you bet mississippi state representative steve hopkins uh chairman of the mississippi freedom

00:26:22.780 caucus we're talking about a bill um in three different states and i'll bet you that this thing

00:26:29.880 is i bet you this is everywhere i bet you they're doing something like this in other regions um start

00:26:38.820 looking for this uh start looking for this group i'm trying to remember what the name of the group

00:26:45.160 is stew did you see this uh yeah region smart now they may have something else but look for uh look for

00:26:53.360 region smart and see if any of these are in your state be on the lookout these these guys are not

00:27:00.660 uh gonna give up without a fight they're not and you know we think we're on top of it we don't we're in

00:27:07.640 a different kind of war we are in a different kind of war they are going around every way they can 0.73

00:27:15.420 to cut the uh the circulation of the constitution off yeah uh so how do you how do you gauge all of

00:27:27.020 this that's going on and as you point out it's consistent with the stuff that we would fear from

00:27:31.300 the great reset that's happening with russia however you know russia is an aggressive actor

00:27:38.180 and you know you look back at some of the really bad things that have happened in history and if

00:27:42.400 this sort of stuff went on when those things were going on maybe we would have minimized the impact

00:27:48.740 i mean you know certainly it would have been great if ibm wasn't helping the nazis yeah it is it is it

00:27:54.340 would have been right that would have been a better outcome correct and so why didn't our founders why

00:28:01.060 didn't um uh people back then just stop these corporations from doing that well i mean stopping

00:28:10.760 them is one thing right but them doing it on their own is another finding a way to do it wouldn't we

00:28:16.940 want wouldn't we want ibm to say i'm not doing business with these people yeah yeah we would

00:28:21.960 yeah so but ibm did do that ibm did do that they just let their their arm in europe do it right

00:28:30.260 that's true yeah so they were they were just doing it in a crafty way that's what always happens

00:28:35.420 look you can't stop it ends justify the means if we can stop him from by from doing what he's doing in

00:28:44.720 ukraine and it means cobbling together and launching the great reset should we do it well

00:28:54.900 we don't want the great reset to hit the globe right but but that's what's going to happen

00:28:59.960 i guarantee it guarantee it this is the great reset in action you're watching it

00:29:05.720 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:29:09.860 mike lee is uh joining us now um mike i don't know if you've been following the president this

00:29:25.080 morning but he has said that uh he is going to shut off all russian oil to the united states

00:29:31.320 um and he's going to do everything he can to uh to help the american people 60 million gallons from

00:29:38.440 our uh 60 million barrels from our oil strategic oil reserves uh and uh he's not going to tolerate

00:29:45.240 price gouging uh from these oil companies that are going to try to just gouge people at the pump

00:29:51.180 uh he won't accept that and he also said i want to clear something up there is no evidence at all

00:30:00.080 that anything that i have done affects how much oil is being drawn out and used here

00:30:07.280 in america my policies have not affected this at all welcome mike well gosh there it is there it is

00:30:17.320 you you hear it uh so it must be true right yeah so look he after almost two weeks of ukrainian

00:30:24.140 suffering and and noble fighting he finally got the political courage of the ban russian oil and gas

00:30:29.960 imports we still need to know what's he going to do to open up american oil and gas and he did this

00:30:35.680 only after flirting with the mullahs in iran and the desperate in fenezuela to see if they would want 0.96

00:30:40.840 to help him out and the more he repeats this this is not my fault the more we know it's his fault look

00:30:47.520 what did he do on day one day one he gives in he cancels keystone xl he halts all oil and gas

00:30:54.860 leasing on federal land which is a very significant part no they already have no no mike they already

00:31:02.080 have millions of acres of leased federal land and they're not using it that's what he said yes so

00:31:08.820 so that is a very convenient response from a man who's tried to shut these guys down and from the

00:31:14.060 guy who won't let them drill in anwar where we've got an abundant accessible supply of heavy crude which

00:31:20.920 is the stuff we're getting from russia so if he if he means this stuff he needs to open it up

00:31:25.920 and he can't just continue to close off options and say no to the american people look the american

00:31:32.340 people want to control inflation biden wants to control americans that's the problem we're dealing

00:31:37.100 with mike the i mean i just don't see how how americans are going to survive for very long i mean

00:31:49.040 you know the price of uh crude is up uh 90 cents since the president started speaking uh and uh it we

00:32:01.200 already went up in gas prices a dime you know from yesterday to today people are on the edge how long

00:32:08.400 can this go before those sanctions uh and the policies of this president cripple us not putin

00:32:17.040 yeah so all of these things are combining into one you've got a hyper active hyper regulatory

00:32:24.580 environment in which president biden wants to shut down american ingenuity and development and he does

00:32:31.680 so in a way moreover that would enrich and further empower our enemies i mean look at where more and

00:32:37.360 more of our money has to go to buy our energy when we don't do this it goes to vile countries vile people

00:32:44.460 in vile countries we look we can produce this stuff here in a more safe environmentally responsible and

00:32:50.640 cost-effective manner than just about anywhere around the world so why aren't we doing it well

00:32:55.240 it always comes back to his his climate obsession and to this this god complex that he seems to have

00:33:00.840 suggesting that he can he's the one who can figure out how to balance all of the competing climate

00:33:08.580 needs of of of the globe uh and balance those against the american energy needs you know there's this

00:33:16.960 thing called the free market if you let the free market do its thing then joe you wouldn't need to sell

00:33:22.440 off our oil reserves then joe you wouldn't need to go hat in hand to opec so this thing called the free

00:33:28.900 market works and it allows people to get clean affordable energy on demand he says that this is the free

00:33:36.680 market working he's he i mean it was amazing to hear him say you know we um we shut down their

00:33:44.020 banking well who shut down their banking i don't believe the united states of america can shut down

00:33:50.020 all of the banks and the credit cards and everything else um he's he's claiming that these people are doing

00:33:57.300 all of this by their free choice i've never seen anything like this mike and you know that through esg

00:34:03.980 this is the great reset in action is it not yes yes and and you talk about this in your book and one

00:34:11.740 of the things i love about your book is in in the in the in the book the great reset you explain that

00:34:18.260 this time this particular series isn't something that's government and so it's much harder to control

00:34:25.240 yep this is the coordinated action of countless individuals acting independently and independently in

00:34:32.200 a way that's likely to diminish freedom and diminish options for ordinary hard-working citizens

00:34:37.840 mike um the president today is going to request 2.6 billion dollars for foreign assistance program

00:34:45.600 that promote general equality worldwide um okay the funds will be against that i know what kind of

00:34:55.160 monster would oppose that right i know the funds will be part of his fiscal 2023 budget request to

00:35:00.460 congress and will double the amount requested for gender programs uh the next year

00:35:07.220 gosh you know if there's if there's one thing in the world right now that we've got to do it ship a

00:35:14.820 bunch of money offshore to unspecified priorities that are impossible to quantify and very difficult to

00:35:25.600 evaluate because this money is being sent all over the world i i really think that uh we've lost our

00:35:32.960 minds when it comes to this look i think four and eight generally um has some problems with it that

00:35:39.520 need to be addressed this is a particularly egregious example of that and the timing of this couldn't be

00:35:44.000 poorer so mike tonight in utah and i don't even know can you talk about this uh tonight in utah is is the

00:35:53.400 caucus i have no idea how this caucus this caucus works this is the primary caucus right

00:36:00.420 yes yes and glenn it's awesome caucus night is fantastic it's the most wonderful day of the

00:36:07.740 any two-year election cycle in utah people come together at 2 000 precinct locations around the state

00:36:13.880 at exactly 7 p.m and at 7 p.m they get together and they elect delegates to a state convention a

00:36:21.540 convention that will occur on april 23rd this is this is the republican the small r republican form

00:36:27.960 of government in action this is the way it's supposed to work these delegates come together

00:36:32.380 they elect people to represent them at their state convention and that all happens tonight so any of

00:36:37.260 your listeners who happen to be in utah i'd encourage them strongly go go to uh precincts portal.org

00:36:42.660 and you can figure out where your caucus meets i can tell you when it meets it'll be 7 p.m tonight

00:36:47.400 we need as many of your listeners there participating tonight as possible how how scary is it to be

00:36:53.300 someone like you that everyone just assumes you're going to get re-elected and yet millions of dollars

00:37:00.500 are being spent all around you by the left and the rhinos uh uh to make sure that that doesn't happen

00:37:08.720 and having your having your supporters like ah do the caucus next time yeah yeah it's scary uh it really

00:37:18.120 is a scary thing uh to be in that position because people assume a republican is from utah uh utah's

00:37:25.900 never going to elect a democrat well that may be true there are people who figure out how to gain that

00:37:30.480 system some of them run as republicans uh while espousing liberal beliefs others might run as an

00:37:36.940 independent and those people are gaining some momentum they've got a uh a media establishment

00:37:45.780 in the state and nationally that's more than eager to to help them uh win their cause help them disparage

00:37:53.840 me and help these progressives get elected yeah and that's why it is concerning i've got to be ready for

00:38:00.100 this and so i'd encourage your listeners to go to leave for senate.com if they'd like to help

00:38:04.180 you can use all the help i can get these guys are are raising money like crazy against me and i've got

00:38:10.520 to be prepared for them you know i saw the name recognition that you have in the state and you are

00:38:15.980 more recognized by democrats than you are by uh independents and conservatives that should tell you

00:38:23.300 something they hate you they hate you yeah they do they do and look we've got our two statewide papers

00:38:31.620 the desert news and solid tribune and let's just say they're not conservatives there is no counterpart

00:38:37.260 there is no washington times uh uh counterpart to these voices there is no new york post counterpart to

00:38:45.220 them it's kind of sad when you've got an entire state with no uh conservative or even right of center

00:38:51.480 uh statewide publication yeah well you know stew and i were talking about it this morning that

00:38:57.840 there is no one there's no one in washington that we trust more than you you're the most i mean no

00:39:05.180 offense mike but you're boring as hell i mean it's like you know hey let's invite somebody to a party 0.87

00:39:10.800 that everybody will be excited about it ain't you it ain't you i mean i'd like you at the party but

00:39:15.480 you're not the one that everybody you know so anyway uh and i and yet you get branded as some

00:39:22.320 radical you all you do is stand for the constitution and you stand in really i mean i know you mike i know

00:39:32.080 there are times that you voted against something that you have really personally wanted to vote for

00:39:37.440 but it was wrong because it was constitutional and they're killing you on that happens all the time

00:39:43.420 happens all the time and first of all glenn thank you for the compliment and more importantly thank

00:39:47.260 you for the bumper sticker idea i'm going to run with that mike lee boring as hell yeah i mean there's

00:39:53.820 not going to be a scandal in your life you don't swear you don't call people's you know people names

00:39:59.420 i mean you know you're kind of dull but i mean you're you're great in office i i don't know if utah

00:40:07.400 needs some excitement uh i think you you're crazy if you do stay with mike but anyway well and and

00:40:16.540 look the thing is here i i do the job the way i think it needs to be done which involves reading

00:40:23.220 the constitution i keep a copy of the constitution with me all the time when i'm at work i i always

00:40:27.560 have one you'd be surprised at how often i need to refer to it it's not a prop it's there to remind

00:40:33.520 me of what my duty is what my obligations and what my authority entails and and what they don't

00:40:40.300 entail and that takes the emotion out of it that when you take the emotion out of governing you have

00:40:47.100 a greater possibility of achieving safe government right now we are like a giant boat without a rudder

00:40:54.320 or an engine we're just thrown every which way as a country because government decisions are being

00:41:00.600 made by emotion and that's why i need the support of your listeners anytime they can any way they can

00:41:06.940 can whether they want to volunteer or donate whether it's a dollar or two dollars or more

00:41:11.280 they can do that at leaf for senate.com i need their help okay mike thank you very much i appreciate it

00:41:17.200 i'll be watching tonight i almost came out i almost was going to go to salt lake tonight i just because

00:41:22.000 i'd like to i just would i just want to be i would just love to be in the room i can't vote or anything

00:41:26.700 but i'd love to be in the room just going really that's what you think really uh you know the person

00:41:35.280 who uh was working against uh as a republican working against uh stopping aborting down syndrome babies

00:41:44.860 really that's who you're thinking of but maybe it's just me mike thank you very much uh mike mike lee for

00:41:52.340 senate uh dot whatever that's not going to help him very much is it all right let me talk to you

00:41:58.880 about christopher he wrote in with his it's not going to help him as much as calling him boring
