Chip Roy RIPS INTO Speaker Johnson's 'GARBAGE' spending deal

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have agreed on spending levels on the next budget bill. But Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is furious. While Speaker Johnson has touted the agreement as a way to cut back on spending and avoid a government shutdown, Rep. Roy points out that it would spend nearly $60 billion more than Nancy Pelosi's last spending bill and $100 billion more than is needed (once again, without addressing the border crisis): "The Republicans are doing exactly what they always do, which is be the party of excuses ... New speaker, more of the same garbage."

GLENN: Chip. Are you there?

CHIP: How are you, brother?

GLENN: You know, I would be better, if I thought you were bringing happy news to the table.

But the House and the Senate, have put together a budget, that they say is going to cut spending. Boy. Is it ever. And really has had to go to do with the border, does it?

CHIP: Yeah. Look. Glenn, first of all, greetings from West Des Moines, Iowa, where it's 20 degrees outside. And a snowstorm coming in.

But the real snowstorm coming in is coming to DC. It will hammer the American people.

Republicans are doing exactly what they always do, which is be the party of excuses.

The party that will never find a way to not capitulate and spend more money that we don't have, and rack up more debt. So what are we doing now? Speaker Johnson. Speaker, do more of the same garbage.

We will have a bill that is $1.66 trillion. That is almost -- I think that's about $58 billion more than the disastrous Nancy Pelosi omnibus bill, that Republicans opposed a year ago.

It is $100 billion more than what we would get if Republicans had the spine to walk up to the House floor and send a simple year-long continuing resolution over to the Senate.

That would trigger the cuts, all -- albeit meager in the debt deal last summer. It would trigger cuts, that we could get, $1.562 trillion in spending.

They won't do that. Because they're all in the hip pocket of all the lobbyests.

They hide behind our military. And now we will not get the border secure, we will spend 100 billion more than we have to. We will increase spending over the Nancy Pelosi spending deal.

And Republicans are going to try to sell you and the American people, that that somehow is a win. Don't believe that. This is what the American people are tired of.

Look, I will call balls and strikes. I call balls and strikes on Kevin.

I will call balls and strikes on Mike as speaker. People should call balls and strikes on me, that's the way it works.

GLENN: So, Chip, we're running out of time and options here.

I don't know if anybody in Washington has seen that. But the Republicans, they don't care about -- I mean, they're not in touch with the average American.

They're just not. At least in the ruling class of Republican circles.

They're -- I don't know. In it for themselves. Or just completely delusional, on what the country is facing now.

The border alone is such a major stress, on absolutely everything.

From national security. To the economy.

To our social fabric. To our social services.

What are -- what is the average person supposed to do at this point?

CHIP: Well, I think what the Republican Senate will tell you, the House and the Senate.

They're trying to negotiate a border deal right now, on the back of a Ukraine spending fight.

Now, here's what my problem with that.

Yet again, I'm being asked to accept -- in October, November, I was accepted twice, continuing resolutions of Nancy Pelosi's spending levels.

And now it's a National Defense Authorization Act, which got rid of almost all of our policy changes we put in our version.

And then extended FISA over 16 months, so we can have a government that continues to spy on the American people. And now I'm being asked to accept this ridiculous spending deal with no real border security measures in it.

They will be a token.

So I will get a promise, trust me. Right?

We will do border security on a Ukraine deal, when half of the American people don't even want to give another dollar to Ukraine anyway. Irrespective of whether you actually got a border deal. Which neither you nor I, nor your listeners believe will actually materialize.

GLENN: So wait. Wait.

Chip, help me out. Which one. I think they're both, a gun to the head dangerous.

But which one is more pressing right now? The financial. The financial. The budget deal. Or the border.

CHIP: In my view, they're actually both important. But I will take border security first.

But here's the problem. Here's the problem.

We can do both. We have in our hands because of the work we did last year, for all the speaker fights and negotiations.

I don't want to set aside. I don't want people to totally give up hope. We've bought last year, and we did what we've never done before. We passed a border security bill at HR2, to actually do the job.

He did so good, that the Wall Street Journal today was editorializing against it. Saying it was too hard, that it had things in there about building the wall.

That it had e-verify in there.

So if Wall Street Journal is editorializing against your border bill, it's probably a good border bill.

So you have our border bill, which was effective. We passed it. We got it done. I hear chuckling. You know I'm right.

GLENN: I know.

CHIP: Side note, it is the chamber of commerce, Wall Street Journal Republicans who have totally screwed our country for two decades. Because they want their cheap labor.

They want to sit down at the Rio Grande. They want to have a sign that said, no trespassing. While they're going, wink, wink, nod, nod to the other side, saying help wanted.

Come on in, we don't give a crap whether our border is wide open. We don't give a crap if terrorists are coming again.

We don't give a crap if cartels are in power. We don't give a crap if our kids are dying from fentanyl.

That's what's happening right now.

So we've got a bill that's passed that's good.

Bird in hand, we should use it to negotiate to get border security.

We have a bird in hand, which is cash on spending. They want the caps that Glenn Beck and Chip Roy were negotiating. They were caps, that actually now, if we were to pass a continuing resolution for the rest of the year. They would trigger 1.562 trillion. Which would mean we would cut spending between 40 and $70 billion. Rather than -- which is additional, $100 billion.

GLENN: Can I just -- can I just point, that's not a lot of money, when you're spending 4 trillion!

I mean, I -- I -- it's -- honestly, it's like going to -- it's going to Bill Gates.

And saying, Bill, your spending is out of control. And I noticed, you bought four new cars last year. We have to stop spending the four new cars.

Four new cars!

He has a Boeing business jet he's running around in. I mean, this is so ridiculous to talk about these small numbers as being so substantial because they're not.

We lost -- what was it? $250 billion. We just lost last year!

Just lost.

Sent it out to the wrong people. Overpaid.

What are you talking about?

CHIP: Yeah. I mean, Glenn, it's absolutely ridiculous.

The amount of waste and the spending. But more importantly. We're funding the very bureaucrats that are targeting you, and undermining our freedom.

We're targeting -- we're funding IRS agents. We're funding DOJ bureaucrats that go after the former president, go after you and me. We're funding a DHS to not secure the border. That smug Alejandro Mayorkas who stood up there on the stage. And laugh at us, and blame it on Texas.

We're funding the lawyers to go to the Supreme Court, and challenge Texas in court, saying we can't cut razor wire.

I mean, you can't even put it into words.

I have to be honest with you. I'm on the ground in Iowa. Okay?

I'm meeting with voters every day. Very focused voters. And they are ready to rumble.

They are ready for a change. They are sick and tired of what's going on in the swamp.

They want somebody new. They want a new direction.

They want some change. Not to get into the political side.

I'm going to hear from governor DeSantis obviously. They want somebody who will actually do what they freaking said they would do, like Governor DeSantis did in Florida. And, look, he never flip-flopped.

And I heard on your show earlier. You asked about Vivek. He says a lot of great things. But he's flip-flopped a million times. On vaccines. On Trump. Covid, generally. I could go down a list. Governor DeSantis delivers up and down.

And so Governor DeSantis cut spending. Governor DeSantis took on Fauchi. Governor DeSantis took on COVID tyranny. He took on Disney and won.

He's now got Miami-Dade, teachers unions on the run. He got universal school choice passed. He's got an economy booming. That guy is actually a machine.

I've never seen anybody like it. And I've worked with different people. The guy is crushing it, and he's doing great in Iowa.

GLENN: I am a big fan of Ron DeSantis. I would vote for him in a heartbeat. Big fan of Ron DeSantis. And, again, I think -- I think the only reason why Ron DeSantis is not doing real well, is because people are saying, well, I'll take Donald Trump. Because it's Ron DeSantis. I don't think it's the same thing. But I think that's the same thing. Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis.

CHIP: Let's just compare apples to oranges there. You want to talk about the border.

Governor DeSantis stood up. He fought to get bills passed there when he was in the House. He stood up to fight for the good border security bill.

In 2018, Governor DeSantis was against Paul Ryan's amnesty bill. Donald Trump was for it. Governor DeSantis will actually fight for citizenship.

President Trump said in 2016 he would sign an executive order for citizenship.

He didn't do it.

Donald Trump said he would build the wall, have Mexico pay for it.

He then got up and gave excuses. Well, we have no mechanisms to make them pay for it.

We never -- we didn't get it built. They didn't pay for it.

Ron DeSantis stood up against Fauci. Shut down COVID hearings.

Look at President Trump. Gave Fauci a way out of office in January of 2021.

Look, I could go down the list even further, but there's no comparison.

Governor DeSantis is the guy we've been waiting for. Who will deliver, and he can serve for eight years. I love President Trump for what he did to shake up the swamp. But let's just be clear. He did not deliver. He didn't repeal Obamacare. He let Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell wag him around town.

We didn't get Obamacare repealed. Now you and I are sitting here screwed sitting here with high health care costs, letting insurance companies run our health care system.

And instead of actually having healthcare freedom, we have empowered Anthony Fauci to screw Americans.

Like, how many things do you have to fail on, to then go around and say, what a great president you were. Compared to a governor, who literally delivered on everything on the report card.

This is why President Trump will not debate Governor DeSantis. Because Governor DeSantis would actually clean his clock, if he compared his batting record with the former president.

GLENN: So let me go back to the -- the budget, the border.

Everything that is happening in America now.

Americans are target to cancel all of their streaming services.

There's a great story in my show prep today. About the restaurant owner that has broke down the math that causes him to charge $16 for a BLT sandwich.

And when you read it. At first, you're like $16 for a WLT. Then when you read it. You're like, okay. I'm surprised he's only charging $16 for that BLT. Americans feel it. They know their country is being taken. They know the Justice Department is completely out of control. The -- the Pentagon didn't even have a leader for a week. And we're starting to feel like, wow. We're at the end of this thing. What do we do, if the people in Washington don't listen to the people? What do we do?

CHIP: Well, there's a number of things. One, we have to elect somebody good. I've already said my piece on that. We have to get a president that will do it.

Number two, we in Congress have to keep holding ourselves accountable, and the people need to keep holding us accountable to do what we said we would do in Washington. I'll go back and fight this week. I will keep shining a light on it.

That's actually new.

We actually have groups there, who were actually doing the hard work of exposing all the garbage in these bills, and making it harder for these guys to capitulate. We will get there.

Have hope that people like Riley Gaines, stood up to the woke establishment.

People like Scott Smith, stood up to all the abuses in Virginia. Take hope that Chloe Cole stood up and said, you know what, these forced transition surgeries are garbage, or Mark Howitzer stood up to the DOJ in Philadelphia.

We should follow their lead. The American people should stand up and reclaim their inheritance, and keep pushing. Get people elected this year, who will fight.

Pay attention to who they are. Get out there, and have them make a the difference. Keep holding us accountable.

But also, remember, if we want to save this country, you talk about inflation. Talk about how everybody is suffering. We have to open up American energy. We don't talk about that enough.

Democrats are jamming through all of their subsidies for EVs. I don't think the American people know, there's a rule they are about to embrace, that will mandate two-thirds of the EVs by 2032.

That will destroy the internal combustion engine. It will destroy our ability to -- it will crush the economy. Drive the costs of goods and services up.

And I just want Republicans for one freaking moment to fight Democrat, with half of the energy. Half of the energy. That Democrats fight our country and our freedom.

That's what I will go back to Washington. When I fly back tomorrow. I will absolutely rip into my Republican colleagues, for this debacle of the spending bill.

And we will keep trying to force their hand.

GLENN: Chip, can you give me maybe three more minutes?

Chip, there is another story about the Supreme Court taking on the Donald Trump ballot case.

They're taking their own sweet time to do it. But this is something that is sweeping America.

It they take Donald Trump off the ballot, again, what do people do?

CHIP: Well, it's a great question. First of all, what they're doing. Look, obviously, I supported the Donald Trump, 2016, 2020.

I'll support what they're doing against him in Colorado. It's an absolute travesty.

It's politicizing the entire process. There is no conviction for insurrection. It's all a joke. They're doing it purposefully and politically. We are going to have to start responding in kind.

I'm willing -- I think -- I think -- this court will strike this down.

And will call this out for what it is.

But we'll see. Right

And then, if they don't. And then I can assure you, there is going to be then reactions as Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said in Texas. I think even governor DeSantis has brought it up.

Do we start saying that Joe Biden needs to be pulled off the ballot?

He's been in complete violation, violating our laws, violating an oath to the Constitution.

Endangering the American people, aiding and abetting our enemies in the cartels, who are flooding our country. So how is that not in violation of the 14th Amendment?

That, you know, aiding and abetting your enemies.

That's the language of the 14th Amendment.

So if we're going to play that game, and adjudicate that based on the whims of what a state wants to decide, as opposed to some actual convictions after a Civil War, you know, demonstration of insurrection, after a Civil War, as was intended in the 14th Amendment.

Then what's good for the goose, is good for the gander.

We will have to fight fire with fire. Right now, let's pray the court gets this right.

I think they will. But, man, these are strange times. So we will see what happens. I assume you're like me, that you think they will.

But, you know --

GLENN: I think they will. But the Democrats, again, I think they will.

Ask that will pass. But the Democrats will use that. As see, this out of control conservative court. You know, it just has to be.

We have to have are other new people on.

We have to get rid of these people. I mean, that's what they will use --

CHIP: No question. That's what -- but then we will just use it against them. Say this is why we need it more. We have a couple of our guys getting older.

You know, Sam Alito. Justice Thomas. God bless him. Our two most conservative justices.

And, you know, we've got to replace those guys. And people at least good or period of time.

Because the tree that Trump appointed were good. But they're not as good as those guys. They're not Scalia and Thomas. They're just okay.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

Chip, thank you so much.

Enjoy the weather in Iowa.

CHIP: It's lovely. It ain't Dallas, I will tell you that.

By the way, our good friends of Patriot Mobile. Their good friends. God bless you.

And I'll be back in Texas, sometime soon.

GLENN: You've got it. Thank you. All right. That's Chip Roy from the great state of Texas, who is out on the campaign trail for Governor DeSantis today. Talking a little bit about the new deal that Republicans have cut to cut all this spending.

No. I've never been for a continuation.

You know, but I think I am this time.

Because there's more cuts, in just giving a continuation of the spending bill for another year.

What -- what -- what good are the Republicans at this point?

This plan could FINALLY FIX our broken immigration system

Is it enough to just stop ILLEGAL immigration in America? Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) joins Glenn Beck to explain his proposal to stop ALL immigration until we fix our broken system…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Anyway, let me go to Chip Roy.

Hello, Chip, how are you, sir?

CHIP: Glenn, how are you? Merry Christmas, bro.

GLENN: Merry Christmas. This is our Congressman from the great state of Texas for Texas attorney general.

Talk to me about your bill on immigration.
Does it have a chance -- tell me what it is. And I want to know if it has a chance of passing.

CHIP: Sure. I mean, you know, you opened this segment by talking about our need to focus on not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration. And I strongly believe that that is true. I think for way too long, we have been getting loose. Fast and loose overly corporate. Overly driven by, you know, your kind of chamber of commerce crowd.

All of a sudden, we now have a situation where we have millions of people in our country, that are not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to assimilate, not seeking to be, quote, the melting pot.

But rather trying to reestablish their cultures from other countries, rather than becoming fully American. And that's been a long string of -- of decisions. And we go back and put it in perspective. We have 51 and a half million foreign-born people here in the United States.

The vast majority of whom, did not come here illegally, right?

But came here legally. Then they've been abusing the process and the system, because we've got this broad use of H-1B one visas. We have diversity visas. We have chain migration. We have everybody's cousin. Uncle, aunt, whatever. And there's the growing population here.

And this is now, unlike it was a century ago, right?

When we had the mass migration. The late 1800s, the early 1900s. And at that point, we didn't have a welfare state. We have schools that were teaching that America was great, or even the Constitution. And we had, you know, God in the schools, and we had our culture being elevated, not being criticized. And at that point, we stood for immigration in the 1920s. Right? We still flatlined it because everybody said, whoa, whoa, whoa. We have so many people in.

Our country was stronger for it. Today is worse. Because we have so many people coming here, who are not assimilating. We have schools that are not teaching people that America is great.

And we certainly are continuing to have a welfare state now, that is causing a big problem. So I think we should pause it. It's called the Pause Act. We should pause legal immigration, until we fix a lot of things.

Fix diversity. Fix chain migration. Fix H1 --

GLENN: Wait. Can you tell me what a diversity visa.

What is a diversity visa? I don't even know what that is.

CHIP: Diversity visas. Chain migration, these are all things being used currently to have expansive use of the ability of people to come into the country, and -- and say that they're -- you know, a family member, right.

An extended individual, in what we're calling chain migration. So you'll have a person come in, and instead of it being a close knit family member, right?

Instead of it being, okay. This is my spouse, or this is my child. It's cousins and aunts and uncles, and so forth.

And, you know, this is the kind of thing that we've got to reform. And including, H-1B visas. And including all the problems that we have here with birthright citizenship.

Obviously, the Supreme Court is going to hear the Trump administration's executive order on that.

But we should codify a new view of how we deal with birthright citizenship. You can only be a citizen, if you're born of citizen parents. Not because you were on our dirt. So these are -- in Texas, right?

We had a Supreme Court opinion, in the 1980s to educate the children. Of illegal aliens. Illegal alien children. We do challenge that, overturn it. And we should fix it.

Until you fix all those things. Fix illegal immigration.

Then we're going to lose our country. We're going to lose our culture, and I think we need to do that. So that's why we have to have a bill to pause it.

I just talked to police officer, the day before yesterday. And I was walking down the street, going into the store for Christmas. And he said, hey, Glenn Beck.

And he had this slight accent. I couldn't tell exactly what it was. And then he said, eventually, I'm Irish. I came from Ireland. I've been here for 20 years. My wife and I lived in Ireland.

I said, my gosh, does Ireland even exist anymore?

And he said, Glenn, it used to be. I go back every year, it used to be you could go anywhere, and you would have the Irish public.

And, you know, you could see Irishmen everywhere. And, yes, there were people from other parts of the world, et cetera, et cetera. But it was Irish!

He said, I can go down into my hometowns, small ones, and he said, I don't see another Irishman.

He said, the Irish culture is completely annihilated. He said, it's all mosques and Pakistanis and whatever.

And he said, is there ever anyone who will say, hey, wait a minute, the Irish culture, the American culture, the English culture.

The -- the whatever culture, that's important too! When is anybody going to step up and say, you know what, we -- we don't want to lose this!

By embracing that! We can have both. But not like this!

CHIP: Well, Glenn, and you know. And, by the way, the thing I -- since I got up and I started talking about chain migration. But just so you know, right? That's a program very specifically designed to bring people in from countries that we don't have significant immigration from. It's literally designed to diversify our immigration population.

GLENN: What!

Who cares?

CHIP: Right. And that's my point. And this is what's so wrong about our immigration system.

And it's being done that way. And by Afghanistan, all of it is being abused. And we have had this mass migration. And, again, you are the ardent defender of the First Amendment. So am I, and you can believe what you want to believe. Right?

And we would never want to insert the federal government into your belief system, like between you and God.

But what we have to remember about Islam is that it is a politically motivated group of individuals. Right?

This is -- when we look at the core, and we look at what -- you look at what the Muslim government is talking about. When you look at Sharia law, when you look at the tenets of Islam, there's a massive political component to it, and we have to remember that.

We have to remember. You actually read the words. Read what's being said. And look what's happening in Dallas.

Epic City is not just an accident. What happened was the growth and the promotion of Sharia law in the United Kingdom, in France, in America.
It's not an accident, okay? And this is well beyond, hey, you can believe what you want to believe. You can be agnostic. You can be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim. We stand for that principle.

When you come here to annihilate and change your culture. Then you've got to approach that.

We -- we Americans to have approach that in a different way.

And I believe, we should pause immigration. We should be doing what the President is doing.

Remove a whole lot of the people dumped into our country under Biden with illegal immigrants, asylum, that were abused for all those abused by Biden and Mayorkas, and go around and make sure that we are resetting the table and reset our laws. And we should just pause for a while. And reclaim our American culture to your point about what you just said about Ireland.

GLENN: You -- you lay out -- I saw your press release, and you lay out what this bill will do, and I got to read this to the audience.

Because I can't believe you have to say this. It would end the practice of automatic citizenship, yeah, and chain migration.

Yeah, that's not what the Fourteenth Amendment says. That's not what it is about. That's not what it was written for. And the H-1B one visa program. Got it. Ensure immigration assimilation, got it. Now, listen to these last three.

This is what he is proposing we do.

Okay? We're not doing it. He's proposing we do this: Deny entry to Sharia law adherence.

Oh, I don't know. Yes!

I can't believe we have to even say that, out loud. Deny entry to Chinese communist party members. I don't know. Yes!

And the third one: Deny entry to terrorists!

This is a civilization that is on a suicidal path. If that can't happen. That's not -- it's crazy that that's not already happening!

Suicide. Just committing suicide.

CHIP: Well, the other element that we have to factor in is the welfare that is being doled out.

GLENN: Yes.

CHIP: To noncitizens in the form of not just food stamps. Medicaid.

All of the social programs in the federal government. But also our local schools and local hospitals to get inundated by people coming into the United States.

Knowing that they will get free health care and free education, and they might be able to then use birthright citizenship, to come here, to grow here. And none of this is about the melting pot.
And, Glenn, that's what I'm trying to make the case here to people. When you have people who came here, who largely shared our values. And when they came here, they wanted their kids to learn English. They wanted their kids to love America.

They wanted their kids to love our history and our founding. They appreciate what our country stood for. By the way, that mass migration occurred right after the Civil War. So our country has literally been at war. And people said, I want to go there. Because this country stood for something bigger and better. And people knew it. But they wanted to be apart of it. And they wanted to embrace it.

They didn't want to change it. That's not true now. Right? That's definitively not true.

United States Congress. Ilhan Omar.

When we openly and outspokenly, committed to changing America to be like her home country!

That's a problem. That is what is happening. And if we don't -- you can't win a war, that you don't acknowledge exists, Glenn. And there is a war being waged against our way of life. And against our culture.

So look, I've increased the legislation here. But it's also why I'm running for attorney general. And a campaign speech, you hear me.

We have to have states. That are standing up and leading this fight as well.

If we're going to save America.

GLENN: You brought up, you know, there's a war being waged.

I -- every alarm bell in me is going off.

Every alarm bell within me. We are -- we're in a war. We won't even recognize it.

I think the president has. But I think it's going to take a lot more than what we're doing right now. Look at what's happening in Europe.

France just happened their -- their ball drop, you know, for New Year's Eve.

They have it -- every year. They cancelled it. And said, just stay at home. And watch a rerun of it from another year.

That's insanity!

They just have surrendered.

The -- how serious are we at -- at preparing for a civilizational war.

CHIP: Well, I think on the positive side, we have an increasing number of people in leadership, who were understanding the threat.

In a way that they didn't a year ago, or five years ago.

That being said, we also have a long way to go and a very short time to get there. Right?

We have got to move quickly. If you see what's happening in Europe, right? And we go, well, they're 20 years ahead of us now. I don't think that's true.

I think Europe is a mere months, years, few years ahead of us, in terms of how bad it's gotten.

And I think we're now realizing, how much damage we've done over the last decade, in particular. Certainly, the last two decades in terms of the mass influence of people, that do not ultimately share our values. So I do think it's important that we support the president on what he's doing and removing bad actors, and making sure that we're removing people that need to be removed, or here illegally.

But if we don't reform our illegal immigration system immediately. And pause it. And freeze it. And reset who we are as Americans. And get people to understand that when you're here, you're going to embrace being an American. Then we're not going to save the country. Right?

So that's why I wanted to introduce this bill. It's why I introduced this bill. That's why I had to introduce several legislation to defend people from Sharia bill. That's why I've given a bill to take away the tax status for CAIR. We've got to get people to realize, that we need immediate change. That we can't wait. So right now, Congress is not codifying or advancing the ball on this front yet.

The president is doing it unilaterally. And I think that's a problem.

GLENN: Can the house actually get it done? Are we going to pass it? Does it have a chance of ever getting to the president's desk?

VOICE: Right now, we are socializing it, and there's a growing number of people who support the concept. And it's not on social media.

But we've got to get it socialized with the White House and the leadership of the House, to get it to the point of trying to enforce a vote. There's going to be a lot of resistance. There's going to be a lot of people, that are going to be listening to business interests. A lot of people who will say, well, I've got a certain culture in my particular district and so forth.

And we've got to ride the (inaudible) act and recognize, if we don't do this, then we have no chance to save the country.

Because if another 55,000 people come in on diversity visas this year, and another 55,000 coming next year, and then another 55,000 the following year, all from these supposed low immigration countries for purposes of diversity. In addition to the chain migration, in addition to H-1B visas. Right? Do the math. See what's happening.

And how many things are happening. So we've got to freeze that. And reset what we want to do for our country.

GLENN: All right.

It's called the pause act. Get online, and support Chip Roy at the pause act. Ask your Congress man. Your senators.
To join Chip on the pause act. Again, you can follow him on X, at Chip Roy.

TX. He's also running for candidate for attorney general. What is your website? Chip.

CALLER: ChipRoy.com. Pretty simple. Pretty straightforward, and I appreciate it. And look, this Christmas Eve and for everybody out there, Merry Christmas. We have the greatest country in the history of the world. We have to keep our heads up and put our faith in Jesus, and remember that it's on us, to pass it down to our kids and grandkids.

GLENN: Thank you so much, Chip Roy.

The END of 'Glenn TV': 14 Years of Truth Bombs, Tears & Glenn's NEXT Revolution | Glenn TV | Ep 475

It's time to say goodbye to "Glenn TV," but Glenn's radio program and "The Glenn Beck Podcast" will continue to be main staples on BlazeTV. After 14 years of "Glenn TV," Glenn Beck looks back at the warnings and predictions that defined the show. From predicting the Islamification of Europe to exposing the corruption in Ukraine years before the mainstream media, Glenn revisits the moments he challenged the experts and sounded the alarm early. He rewinds his predictions on Russia, ISIS, socialism, and the coordinated collapse of capitalism and Western civilization. Glenn also revisits his early reporting on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and the COVID lab leak — stories the media originally dismissed. Plus he gives a first look at what's to come with his new project, the Torch, debuting January 5, 2026.

The Western World is UNDER ATTACK... And THESE Shocking Stories are Proof

A wave of global instability is forcing Western nations to confront hard truths they’ve ignored for years. From Australia’s deadly attack and a media narrative that excuses extremist violence, to France canceling its iconic New Year’s celebration over “security concerns,” the cracks in Western resolve are becoming impossible to hide. This conversation exposes how denial, mass migration without assimilation, and media double standards are eroding public safety, cultural confidence, and the West’s ability to defend itself from growing threats.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: You know, there's more on the -- the shooting in Australia. Did you see the comment from the mom?

The -- the hero who disarmed. He's a hero. He's getting a lot of accolades.

But here's the family of Ahmed al Ahmed. No, no, no. That's the good guy. Hang on just a second.

That's the hero. I'm just looking through all of the stories. Here it is. Here it is.

Mother of the Bondi beach shooting suspect. The mother of Naveed Akram, who along with his father, allegedly killed more than a dozen people at a Hanukkah celebration, said on Sunday, insisted her son was a good boy.

Now, I mean, I can understand, you know, you wanting to believe that, because your son is your son. You know, but I don't think -- I don't think anybody in Rob Reiner's family is thinking the brother is a good boy. They might love him still, but he's not a good boy if he indeed did that.

STU: Yeah, there could be an element of thinking, right? Like, you know, he's been overcome by addiction, or overcome by mental illness. And I think he's a good boy underneath hat. You can have that Islamic extremist terrorist son if you want.

But what you would have to say I think accompanying that, was he got infected by this extremism. And, you know, by his dad who, you know, led him down a terrible path.

GLENN: Right. Her husband.

STU: Right. That's a plausible thing, if you believe. He can't be a good boy if he's murdering people, unless, of course, Glenn, you believe that the outcome was positive.

GLENN: Well, it was positive, yes.

She said, he doesn't have a firearm. Yeah, he does.

He doesn't even go out. He doesn't mix around with friends. Well, now you're describing a loner.

He doesn't drink, smoke, or go to bad places. Anyone would wish to have a son like my son. He's a good boy.

No. No. I'm safe to say, I don't want a son like that.

STU: No. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was about to say, and he stays away from trans fats.

That's great, just doesn't have much to do with this particular incident.

GLENN: Yeah, I would say that. Also --

STU: Can I follow up, while we're in this realm here real quick with this audio. This is -- you mentioned this briefly. But let's play a game here: Can you find the logical problem with this particular audio from ABC News?

This is about the somewhat associated shooting of the pro-Palestinian group. Or the pipe bombing, from the pro-Palestinian group you discussed earlier this hour. This is a real clip, not edited.

GLENN: All right.

VOICE: Nowhere did they allege that any of these individuals wanted anybody to be harmed as a result of these pipe bombs. Specifically, it does appear that their aim was to sent a political message, as they said, prosecutors yesterday in this news conference.

VOICE: Carol and Page also discussed plans for follow-up attacks after their bombings, which included plans to a target ICE agents and vehicles with pipe bombs.

STU: Now, can you detect any issue with that?

GLENN: I found two.

I found two.

One, they're not targeting anybody with the use of the pipe bomb!

STU: Right.

GLENN: Now, maybe. Maybe nobody gets hurt like that.

But experience and history tells me. Sometimes when you don't know what you're doing, pipe bombs hurt people.

STU: Right. Yes.
GLENN: And sometimes when you do know what you're doing, pipe bombs hurt people.

That's the -- that's problem number one. Problem number two was, they stated they were then going to target ICE agents?

STU: Right.

GLENN: As if ICE agents aren't people?

STU: You know, Glenn, that is exactly what I came up with. I think, I've heard this statement. You mentioned the same sentiment earlier on the program. A lot of people are saying this. I guess, in their conversations that were, you know, picked off as we were going through this investigation. There were some similarities. If you think back to early environmental terrorist attacks.

ALF and ELF, some of those attacks -- not all, but some of those attacks were targeted at infrastructure, and things around the -- you know, the oil industry. But not -- you know, intentionally trying not to harm the workers or whatever.

And some of their I guess conversations back and forth echoed that sentiment. Like, let's put them this a place where people aren't going to be.

Again, I don't think that's good. I don't think of these people as heroes. But Hollywood would make movies over people like that and how wonderful and glorious they were.

But at the end, they seemed to ignore, that they had attacks planned against ICE agents. And the only way that makes logical sense is if you don't think ICE agents are people.

GLENN: Are people. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Dehumanize. Dehumanize. Dehumanize. That's why I've been saying, we've got to stop MAID. We have to appreciate life again.

We have to stand for life. All life!

If we don't, you can just say, well, that's not really a person.

You've got to stand for life.

One more story in this, just to show you how close we are to losing Europe.

The French who aren't -- are not used to waving the white flag.

You know, they're -- they're -- they're tough. They have decided on New Year's Eve, that they are not going to hold the fireworks show, that they always hold at the art drive.

So they always have a New Year's Eve concert and fireworks show, but this year, they've decided that they're going to scrap it, wait until you hear what they were going to replace it with. But they're going to scrap it because there are security concerns such as, quote, unpredictable crowd movements.
You mean, like the crowds that are coming over on boats and coming on to your shore? You mean those crowd movements? Because, I mean, I think we know what they're saying here. They're saying that they're very concerned that there might be trouble. There might be some sort of, you know, shootings or activity or terrorists. But they're not -- they're just saying, it's unpredictable crowd movements. And so we're -- we're suggesting that we cancel the decades old fireworks celebration on New Year's Eve.

That's like canceling Times Square. Okay?

We're going to cancel that. And instead, replace it with -- this is a quote.

With a prerecorded video to be viewed in the safety and comfort of your French living room.
(laughter)

GLENN: Oh. So we're watching an old celebration.

Why not? Dick Clark. We got all those tapes of Dick Clark. Let's just cancel New Year's Eve and Times Square and just play one from 1977. I mean, who didn't love that?

STU: Not only is that completely insane. It's also a great example of why virtual school didn't work.

Right?

You know, that's not the same thing. My wife say big fan of around this time of year. Every television has the Yule log on it, you know. And at his help you. It's nice. It helps you celebrate the season, a little bit. But it's not the same as going around the fire, and feeling the heat, it's not the same.
GLENN: Right. Yeah. There's no warmth. There's no warmth. But leave it to the French to surrender. I mean, we've lost France. We've lost France.

If they're not willing to say what's going on. Look, there's terrorists here. And we're afraid of a large crowd. And we're lost, because we let too many people in here. We have no idea who they are. And they're dangerous. And they want to kill us and kill our civilization.

We're working on that, so we can have this next year.

This year, we will to have cancel it.

But they're not saying that. They're saying, you know what, watch it from home. And it will be a videotape of an old one. Oh, okay.
