Introduction: Donald Trump's Resurgence and Political Dynamics

Timestamp: [00:00] – [02:27]

Glenn Beck opens the episode by highlighting a significant shift in American political and cultural dynamics. He observes that Donald Trump has reclaimed his spot at the "cool kids table," a metaphor indicating his regained popularity and influence within certain societal segments. Beck muses on the implications of Trump's resurgence for the future political landscape, questioning what this newfound "coolness" means for upcoming elections and policy directions.

Beck also touches on the behavior of media personalities Mika and Joe Scarborough, criticizing their apparent shift to support Trump, which he views as a form of submissive behavior. Additionally, he expresses concern over Joe Biden's policy of supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles capable of striking Russia, labeling it a "bad idea."

Notable Quote:

"[00:00] Glenn Beck: Donald Trump, everything has changed. He's suddenly cool now. What does that mean for the future?"

Discussion on UFC Fight and Jake Paul's Controversial Image

Timestamp: [02:27] – [08:05]

Beck transitions to a lighter topic, sharing his personal experience attending a UFC fight at Madison Square Gardens. He humorously recounts the exorbitant ticket prices ($1,200 for a nosebleed seat) and his decision to watch the event via Netflix instead. The conversation shifts to the involvement of Jake Paul, a polarizing figure known for his ties to Trump and controversial actions.

Beck criticizes Jake Paul's behavior, particularly his association with Donald Trump and his aggressive persona in the ring. He expresses discomfort with the current reception Jake Paul receives, especially juxtaposing his public image with his alleged past actions, including rape accusations.

Notable Quotes:

"[04:04] Stu Burguiere: ...this is a convicted rapist and everyone's like, this damn influencer."

"[04:46] Glenn Beck: Yes. ...You have to be careful about the people you support."

Media Hypocrisy and Personal Branding

Timestamp: [08:05] – [18:35]

Beck and Stu Burguiere delve into discussions about media representation and perceived hypocrisy. Beck addresses accusations from CNN alleging hypocrisy regarding his past actions, specifically an incident where he was seen eating fast food on air. He defends his choices, emphasizing personal freedom and choice over government mandates.

The conversation broadens to criticisms of drug regulations, specifically the FDA, and how Beck favors a free-market approach over government intervention. They debate the necessity and effectiveness of government-imposed regulations versus consumer choice, using examples like Froot Loops and fluoride in water to illustrate their points.

Notable Quotes:

"[18:05] Glenn Beck: Get your damn hands off my fries, lady. If I want to be a fat, fat fatty and shovel french fries all day long, that is my choice."

"[21:05] Stu Burguiere: ...shouldn't Canada and Europe have more restrictive measures on the free market than we do?"

Upholding Free Market Principles vs. Government Regulations

Timestamp: [18:35] – [26:57]

Beck and his guests elaborate on their stance against government regulations, advocating for consumer choice and accountability. They argue that companies should bear the responsibility for their products without government interference, trusting the free market to correct issues naturally. The discussion includes critiques of Canadian and European regulations, questioning why similar measures aren't adopted in the U.S.

Beck underscores the importance of labeling and consumer awareness, suggesting that informed choices by individuals can negate the need for stringent government oversight. This perspective aligns with classical conservative values favoring limited government intervention and promoting individual liberties.

Notable Quotes:

"[25:07] Glenn Beck: Here's my approach. Abolish the FDA."

"[23:32] Stu Burguiere: There's no difference in the health quotient of Simply Cheetos with white cheese dust and orange Regular Cheetos. You get to choose whether you think those are better."

Donald Trump's Influence and Political Strategy

Timestamp: [10:53] – [32:01]

The conversation circles back to Donald Trump's influence in contemporary politics. Beck remarks on Trump's presence at high-profile events, such as the UFC fight, and his endorsement strategies. He expresses surprise at how Trump has managed to regain his "cool" status, drawing parallels to his previous years of denial and subsequent acceptance.

The discussion shifts to the broader political strategy, highlighting the importance of party unity and the challenges posed by internal disagreements within the Republican Party. Beck emphasizes the need for delivering on Trump's mandate, focusing on deregulation, economic prosperity, and border security as key priorities.

Notable Quotes:

"[11:04] Stu Burguiere: Right. This is who he used to be. I can't believe this guy has turned this corner so hard that he's back to the guy who is in home alone. You know what I mean?"

"[32:01] Glenn Beck: The president that deported more people than Anybody else, over 10 million people, was Bill Clinton. You want to take 10 to 15 million people? That's already done."

Immigration and Border Security: A Core Republican Focus

Timestamp: [32:01] – [41:35]

Rep. Chip Roy takes center stage to discuss immigration reform and border security, topics of paramount importance to the Republican agenda. He outlines a comprehensive plan to address illegal immigration, emphasizing the necessity of deportations and the rollback of welfare programs that, in his view, incentivize unlawful immigration.

Roy criticizes the Biden and Harris Mayorkas regime for previous lax immigration policies, advocating for a methodical approach to enforcing interior controls and prioritizing the deportation of individuals with existing orders. He underscores the ideological battle within Congress, stressing the importance of maintaining unity to effectively implement Trump's policies.

The representative also addresses potential legal challenges, anticipating that the opposition will seek injunctions against deportation efforts. He calls for an aggressive stance from both the executive and legislative branches to counteract these obstacles.

Notable Quotes:

"[34:11] Stu Burguiere: Did you see this clip about deportations being described as concentration camps? How does this work exactly?"

"[35:40] Glenn Beck: Amen Kennedy."

"[35:42] Chip Roy: ...our mandate was to secure the border and end all this nonsense and deporting. That's what the mandate was. And we've got to deliver."

Conclusion: Upholding the Republican Mandate and Future Outlook

Timestamp: [41:35] – End

Beck and Roy conclude the episode by reaffirming their commitment to the Republican mandate of deregulation, economic growth, and stringent immigration controls. Roy expresses confidence in the party's direction under Trump's leadership, emphasizing the need to deliver on campaign promises to prevent the party's decline.

Glenn Beck humorously teases Roy about running against John Cornyn for the Senate, highlighting the camaraderie and mutual support within the Republican ranks. The episode closes with a strong message of determination to uphold conservative values and enact meaningful change in Washington.

Notable Quotes:

"[41:35] Glenn Beck: Well, I know you haven't announced this, but I'd like to announce today that you're running against Cornyn for the Senate. And also, your win against Cornyn in the Senate."

Transcript

[Glenn Beck]

Hey, there's a segment in today's broadcast with the cool kids club, the cool kids table. As somebody who never sat at the cool kids table, I noticed something. Donald Trump is at the cool kids table right now. Donald Trump, everything has changed. He's suddenly cool now. What does that mean for the future? Also, Mika and Joe Scarborough, oh, gosh darn it, they went to kiss the ring of Donald Trump. They're in trouble. And also it looks like Joe Biden just really wants to give Ukraine long range missiles so they can strike into Russia. Kind of a bad idea. What does that all mean? All on today's podcast. First, let me talk to you about the ministry of preborn they are doing. I mean, they are the champions of the cause. First of all, I said this in a speech the other day. I was talking to a bunch of Catholics about abortion and I have to tip the hat to the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church cared about abortion before any anybody else cared. And they've been fighting on the front lines forever. Now. Preborn has come in in the last, I don't know, decade or two and they really have developed a system that is so smart and they know how to attack this and it is the right thing to do because they're talking about the moms and the babies right now. For $28, you can sponsor an ultrasound that doubles the chance that mom will choose life. And through a match, your deductible gift will be doubled. So Preborn also supplies moms with diapers, car seats, counseling, books, I mean, everything. I'm incredibly proud to work with preborn and I'm so proud that you feel the same way. So let's keep it going. One ultrasound is $28. $140 will save five babies and babies are worth fighting for. Maybe you can make a monthly donation of $28. Donate securely at £250. Say the keyword baby. That's £250, keyword B. Or go to preborn.com beck. It's preborn.com beck. All gifts are tax deductible and Preborn has a four star charity rating. Fight, Fight. Fight for the babies. Sponsored by Preborn.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, hello, Stu.

[Stu Burguiere]

Glenn. How was your weekend?

[Chip Roy]

It was pretty.

[Glenn Beck]

It was actually fun. Almost. Almost went to the UFC fight at Madison Square Gardens.

[Stu Burguiere]

Have you ever done that before? You ever go to an UFC fight?

[Glenn Beck]

No, My son goes a lot. But we were up in New York City. We had some stuff we had to do and so we get up to New York City. And my son says, dad, dad, dad, dad. And I'm like, all right, let's check it out. $1,200 a seat. And it was like, nosebleed. And I'm like, no, cheapest one. Really?

[Stu Burguiere]

Your get in price was 1200.

[Glenn Beck]

1200. And I'm like, son, we're going to watch it on Netflix or whatever is running this.

[Stu Burguiere]

Ye. Because I toyed with going to the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight, which was right here in Dallas, and the get in price was not that ridiculous. It was, I mean, less than $100.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, wow.

[Stu Burguiere]

But you were so far in the nosebleeds, like, what am I doing with my. I might as well just watch it on tv. Although I guess that was a little challenging as well.

[Glenn Beck]

As we saw with Netflix, I found that really disappointing. First of all, any guy who walks out with pearls and diamonds sewed to his, you know, to his boxing short is somebody that just needs to get.

[Stu Burguiere]

Clipped by Mike Tyson million dollar shorts.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

You don't think that was, you know.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't think that was.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, I don't think that was legitimately a million dollar shorts, apparently.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. I. I find it. I. Can I say one quick thing about this? Because I grew up, like, with my daughter Tyson. Like, that was my era. Like, I, you know, I loved.

[Glenn Beck]

Until the rape, I'm assuming.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, yeah. And I feel like people forgot again. I. I understand that he denies that he said. He says. I think his quote is basically like something like, I didn't do that, but I did so many other things. It was probably. We're probably even with all the jail time. So. Okay, whatever. We'll take him. We take him as word maybe that he's reformed or whatever. But, like, this is a convicted rapist and everyone's like, this damn influencer.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. What they selling? Prime. Prime drinks.

[Stu Burguiere]

This bastard, like, all right, like, he's not a convicted rapist. That's what. Maybe the weird thing where everyone's booing Jake Paul, cheering the rapist.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

Might be a strange development.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, it is. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. If you put me in a ring with a guy in a wheelchair, I'll probably be able to beat him. I mean, it's just. It's not. It's. I just found it grotesque. I really did. I was like, come on, man. And I wanted to see him go out punching that guy in the face, just punching Paul. Boom, boom, boom.

[Stu Burguiere]

First of all, Jake Paul is a Trump guy and came out with his massive following right before the election.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't care. We're talking about what he does.

[Stu Burguiere]

You might not care. I'm just like, I sense the hatred toward this guy from everybody and it's.

[Chip Roy]

Like, I just didn't like.

[Glenn Beck]

I just don't like it. I just didn't like it.

[Stu Burguiere]

I didn't like.

[Glenn Beck]

It's like beating up girls. It's like, you know, oh God, don't.

[Stu Burguiere]

Get me started on that.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, because it's just, it's just, It's.

[Stu Burguiere]

Tyson wanted $20 million. I don't feel that bad for him. He did it and.

[Glenn Beck]

No, he did it, he wanted it.

[Stu Burguiere]

But anyway, and I will say, like, Jake Paul's beaten some fighters that are younger and you know, like MMA stars he's beaten. It's funny, I didn't know what to think and I said this the other night and then we got closer to the fight and I was watching some of the highlights of Jake Paul actually hitting people and then I thought how I feel when I try to get out of my car after a workout. And I was like, I'm sorry, add 10 years to me, there's no way he's beating a 27 year old that can actually throw punches. No, I was, I went from having no idea what was going to happen to being fully convinced unless it was fixed.

[Glenn Beck]

But J. Paul, he has fought people that are not, you know, that are his age.

[Stu Burguiere]

They creamed up. No, that's not true at all. This is what got really won me over because I watched some of the highlights of him. He's, he's first of all beaten like a bunch of people, like legit MMA fighters in boxing. Right. So it's a different sport. But still, if you're put your. I mean, some of his knockouts, he is dropping them. The guy can hit. I'm sorry. And the only fight he lost was against a boxer, which he lost in a close decision. And he was very competitive and drilled the guy a bunch of times. So I don't know, I'm not saying he's a great boxer, but like, I think you would say, hey, this guy is a competitive boxer in his prime. Going up against a guy who's 60 almost. I'm sorry, there's just no way. And of course that is wound up happening though. I will say what you're.

[Glenn Beck]

What you're.

[Stu Burguiere]

What you alluded to earlier was the word items. I know this is sexist. Like sometimes you just can admit your sexism. Am I a sexist? Yes. Here's how. I don't want to see women get punched in the face.

[Glenn Beck]

No, you know what? It's not sexism. You're being chivalrous.

[Stu Burguiere]

It is because I liked watching the mailboxers go at it.

[Chip Roy]

That's not.

[Stu Burguiere]

I don't like it. I don't care if it's sexist. You can call it chivalrous. You can call it sexist. It's not even chivalrous. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see. Did the woman before Glenn, her eye was falling out of her head, like, legitimately. There's a flap of skin and it looked like it was watching something out of a hostile sequence. Her eye was about to pop out on television and she's like, just. Just talking to the cameras as if nothing happened. I don't want to see it.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't have a. I don't have a problem. I don't want to watch it either, but I don't have a problem if two women are in the ring.

[Stu Burguiere]

I do.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I know you do. But when it's a guy who claims to be a woman, that's.

[Stu Burguiere]

Then I'm really smoked.

[Glenn Beck]

I'm really smoked.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's really.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't know if you saw. When Trump entered Madison Square Garden, he brought the whole posse with him.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Cut. 31. Gentlemen, look who is now making his.

[Chip Roy]

Way to the world famous Octagon by.

[Stu Burguiere]

UFC CEO Dana White.

[Glenn Beck]

45, soon to be 40. Look who's behind him.

[Chip Roy]

President.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's hard to see.

[Glenn Beck]

That's Musk, that's Johnson. The vague is in that. The sound in this room is so loud in here. Tulsi Gabbard is in that. He apparently was in Washington. It's like, hey, everybody, get on the plane. We're gonna go. Or wherever you are. Washington, Florida or Florida.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's funny, because when I was watching Tyson highlights leading up to the fight on Friday, this is the same thing that used to happen in the 1980s. Tyson would be walking in with the same response. It was. It was exactly the same as 1986.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

But now it's shocking, I guess. But, I mean, other than a campaign event, it would be stunning to see Donald Trump get this. This reception to, I think, most of people in the media at Madison Square Garden.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, this was another. This was just. This was a disguised Nazi rally. Oh, that's why they welcomed him like that. There he is hugging Joe Rogan. I mean, it is. And then. Let me show you, after you Had. Where is it? Here? John Jones gives. It's 26. He hands him the belt. Did you see any of this? It was nuts. It was absolutely nuts. Everybody was a Trump supporter. Like, everybody seemed to be a Trump supporter. Yeah. I mean, it was really bizarre. And then did you see the. The people. Do I have anything from any of the touchdowns from this weekend? Like, people were making touchdowns this weekend?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, I saw that from a few. From a few people.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I mean, play here. Play right after the fight, cut 25, like a light heavyweight, and I think that's the 235 pound weight doing the. Doing the Trump dance. It was everywhere, gang. I don't know what happened, but, like, Donald Trump is cool.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, he's. Donald Trump has always been cool. It was. There was no.

[Glenn Beck]

I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Up until 20, like 15, 16, and then we, like, it was denied for many years and now it seems to be back.

[Glenn Beck]

Right?

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

This is the norm of American society.

[Glenn Beck]

This is who he used to be. I can't believe this guy has turned this corner so hard that he's back to the guy who is in home alone. You know what I mean?

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah. No, that makes sense.

[Glenn Beck]

It's nuts. It's so crazy that Joe and Mika.

[Stu Burguiere]

Oh, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

Are flying down to meet with him to try to restore their. Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

No, they are not.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, they are.

[Stu Burguiere]

They were just calling him fascist every day for two years.

[Glenn Beck]

I know, I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

Now they're going to try to repair the relationship. He. This is the type of stuff that Trump loves. Like, he loves people groveling like that. They. That is going to be adorable. I can't wait for that one. There may be some interesting tweets. I will say afterward. It is interesting. Let me ask you this. I was tossing this around with a friend of mine this weekend, and we were talking about how, like, this sort of phenomenon, right, where people in sports are doing this and it's become kind of cool, as you know. And I was trying to understand. It's like, is it a Donald Trump thing where people are just like, maybe they've always thought he was cool and kind of were hiding it and now they're kind of coming out of hiding, which I think is a plausible explanation. The other one, too, I think now the Trump movement, generally maga, let's call it, generally, is just associated with, like, we don't want to ruin your fun life. Right. Like, the left is now associated with. You can't say this. Can you imagine being in college in this environment, Glenn, like, where you're Joking, you're busting on everyone. You're calling them all these, you know, you're calling them terrible names. You're saying terrible things about him. You're laughing about it. Right. Like you're saying bad things about people that you don't like and you think it's funny and like you're making offensive jokes.

[Glenn Beck]

You're a rebel, all those things. You're a rebel. Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

The left now says if you do any of that stuff, you're canceled.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Like when they, when we see a clip of a guy playing volleyball and spiking a ball into a woman's face and she's injured, you are now canceled for criticizing that. Like just generally associated with all of this has to be this idea that like you're taking away.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

Common sense.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's not even like, hey, I agree with his tax policy or is his border policy? I mean, I think that's involved in.

[Glenn Beck]

It, but I think it's a step further than that. And then what you're saying, and it's one of my concerns. Let me tell you about Lear Capital. What are your instincts telling you about the country's future? Minor telling me that Trump's biggest challenges might not come from the Democrats. It's likely to come from the BRICS nations. They've been putting together a coordinated attack against the dollar. In fact, it's already begun. By selling the dollar as assets and buying gold, they are trying to crash the dollar and replace it with their own gold backed BRICS based currency. If they succeed, even with Trump at the steering wheel, inflation could still skyrocket and damage the value of your savings and retirement accounts. Now is the time to think ahead and you know and recognize what the BRICS nations are doing and get some gold to back your accounts. Lear Capital. 800957 Gold. That's 800957 Gold. They're the only gold company with a 24 hour risk free purchase guarantee. If this weren't all, if this were all about politics, you would see gold prices collapse. They're not, they're holding steady. Why? Because the threat still exists no matter who's in office. It's Lear Capital. Please call them today. 800957 gold. 800957 gold. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. So we're just talking about, you know, what's going on, joined by Pat Gray, what's going on with the media and what's going on with the possibilities of. I mean, you've got Jon Thune coming out now against a few of the Cabinet picks, and, you know, you're kind of like, I don't like Jon Thune, but I mean, kind of, he has the body of a Greek God.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's right. That's who that was.

[Glenn Beck]

We learned that from Arlen Spector at the Senate bath house. Came in naked as a church. J. Bur. Right. He was a Greek God. He got into the hot tub and we made tender love for the next six hours.

[Stu Burguiere]

This was from the Real Arlen Spector book. Most of that, I should say most of that was from Loose Quote.

[Glenn Beck]

The other one that is now making noise saying, I'm free. I can do whatever I want is McConnell. And McConnell is maybe now going to ride as a dark horse. And so you would have five votes against the Republicans if Thune and McConnell joined the other three.

[Stu Burguiere]

Because I got the impression, correct me if you think I'm analyzing this wrong, but I got the impression Donald Trump, when they were going through that Senate leadership fight, was like, look, I won't come out and say Rick Scott's name if you give me my recess appointments. That's just. I might be oversimplifying that. But, like, obviously, Scott was the pick. He never came. But Trump never came out and endorsed. He was like, look, I'll stay out of this.

[Glenn Beck]

I guarantee you that deal was done. I can't guarantee it. Yeah, that deal happened.

[Stu Burguiere]

And the way the picks came out was interesting because you got Marco Rubio. And then he's like, hey, John, what do you think about these recess appointments? And then the second he said yes to that and got this gig, it's like, Matt Gaetz, RFK Jr. Like, he started rattling off all the people you knew Thune wouldn't vote for.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

So.

[Glenn Beck]

And Thune has come out this. This weekend and said there has to be. We have to have the usual Senate procedures.

[Stu Burguiere]

That's interesting. So maybe that wasn't. Maybe that was wrong, because I really don't understand not endorsing Rick Scott then. Right. Like, that doesn't make any sense to me. It could be that Thune is just, you know, just got the job and now he's lying. I don't know. It's. But I think you're right. Like, I think there's some of these appointments are gonna have real trouble if it goes through normal process.

[Glenn Beck]

And you know what's weird is cnn, who used to love rfk, now hates rfk, is trying to call us A hypocrite. Me in particular on rfk, this is what cnn, they went into the old archive and they.

[Stu Burguiere]

At their own network where you were on the air.

[Glenn Beck]

No, Fox, but I was. They should have gone in their own archive.

[Stu Burguiere]

The first show you ever did had an interview about this topic.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes, about.

[Stu Burguiere]

About basically you eating fast food on the air.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

While. While talking to an author of a book who hated it.

[Glenn Beck]

They cut it because they're like, we can't have one of our house do that.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I'm like, they cut it down. We got some of it on a little bit.

[Chip Roy]

We fought.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay, so here's what CNN played as a flashback about my hypocrisy. Ready? When I heard this, I thought, get your damn hands off my fries, lady. If I want to be a fat, fat fatty and shovel french fries all day long, that is my choice. Okay? I still stand by that. There's no change.

[Stu Burguiere]

We can see.

[Glenn Beck]

There's no change whatsoever. Wait a minute. There's no change whatsoever. If I want to be a fat, fat fatty, it is my right to be able to choose what I want. Don't try to trick me into. Wait, I didn't know you had fries. Oh, they're in the back. Don't, don't. Don't manipulate me.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're not Michelle Obama. Let's move. You're not. Michael Bloomberg banned 32 ounce sodas. No, you're not. You know, Mike Huckabee, he was another one who was doing that on the Republican side.

[Glenn Beck]

You know what I am. I surprisingly use. Is the calorie counter on the menus.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, that's. It is a useful tool. Again, should the government be implementing it?

[Glenn Beck]

No, no. But it tells you what food tastes better than the other food. Right?

[Stu Burguiere]

Exactly.

[Glenn Beck]

Because when it has 1,000 calories as opposed to 400, I'm going with one. Because, you know, it tastes better.

[Stu Burguiere]

It's like a taste o meter.

[Glenn Beck]

Right? Right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

So, I mean, you know, they're talking now about fluoride in the water. Raise your hand if you care about fluoride in the water.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, I'm not raising my hand.

[Glenn Beck]

I care about having the choice whether I should have fluoride in the water, not the question.

[Chip Roy]

Okay, okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Question is, are you worried about the fluoride in your water? Not really. So do I know that fluoride is safe for the water? No. No, I don't have any idea. Based on everything else his government has done, probably. It's probably cyanide. I have no idea. Okay, so here's what I'm for putting in the water. Water. And if you want to add fluoride, you can add fluoride. You could get it. You know, this was, this was, you know, this was turn of the century kind of stuff when everybody's head was, you know, full of rotted teeth because nobody brushed their teeth. You can get all the fluoride you want now in Crest or whatever you use.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. Toothpaste, you use that.

[Glenn Beck]

The problem was it wasn't that there was no fluoride, that people weren't using toothpaste because they weren't using toothbrushes because they weren't brushing their teeth. That's the problem.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. And you can understand that policy at that point, whether it was right or wrong even then, who knows? But like, you can understand why they did it back then. Like, I feel like people have toothpaste now. It's not a huge concern for me, honestly, either way, but I feel like people have toothpaste.

[Glenn Beck]

If you need more flora, just put to use toothpaste as a topping for your ice cream.

[Stu Burguiere]

Just put it in if you don't.

[Glenn Beck]

Have a problem with it. You want more of it, go ahead.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah, you put as much as you want. You can eat toothpaste by the tooth.

[Glenn Beck]

Keeping in mind it is somewhat toxic. Depending on how much you squeeze the whole tube and you're eating, the tube.

[Stu Burguiere]

Might not be good for you at certain doses. So is water.

[Glenn Beck]

Right?

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. So like, again, it's all about the dose. And I guess it's just one of those things that like, becomes this big issue and I don't know, like, it's. For me, I don't really care about it either way all that much. I know a lot of people are do really careful, but again, I think having choice is great. Like you should be able to choose whether you have it or not. And toothpaste is an easy delivery system for that choice. It feels like to me, when it comes to this other stuff, I am concerned. I am concerned. I don't want to turn into that Michelle Obama. Let's move party. That was what I think you were criticizing in that clip.

[Glenn Beck]

It is. It was about Michelle Obama. Get your hands off my French fries, lady. You know, but that's fine. I just don't want things mandated to me. I would like to know, you know, wait a minute, hang on just a second. And it's because it's just like everything else with the government, we didn't pay attention. There are things that are, are maybe not the healthiest in our food. If it is poison at any level, we should probably not have that added to our food. Okay? And I have no problem with that. And I don't have a problem if you want to put that in the food. As long as there's a label on it. As long as you know what's in the food. And we're starting to educate ourselves.

[Stu Burguiere]

Can I ask a question, though? Because I hear this part of the argument a lot, which is like, they banned this in Canada and Europe, and we're putting it in our food. Isn't that the right approach? Shouldn't Canada and Europe have more restrictive measures on the free market than we do? Isn't that kind of like how, like, normal? Isn't that what we should want as conservatives?

[Glenn Beck]

In Froot Loops, they use for orange. They just use, oh, my God, the Fruit Loops. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

[Stu Burguiere]

There are not three ingredients in Froot Loops in Canada. That is not even remotely close to.

[Glenn Beck]

True as we're talking about the dye. Okay.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yes.

[Glenn Beck]

You're using yellow or orange. They get it from carrots. Why aren't we doing that instead of some chemical byproduct?

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay, so that's a good art. The reason why. Right. Is because it probably costs Froot Loops less money. That's why they're doing it. And the reason they're not doing it in Canada, which there are a couple of these colorings that are slightly different. Right. They come from different sources, natural sources. The reason they're doing it Canada is because Canadian government has told them they have to. That is the difference. Right? So Fruit Loop. So the government is making the decision and not Froot Loops. Now, of course, there's another layer of this decision, which is us whether we decide to eat Froot Loops or not.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

Okay.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

And I don't think any of us are coming to the table being like, I think the most healthy food. It's fruit. It's got fruit. Even though they spelled it F R.

[Glenn Beck]

O O T. It's got fruit in the title.

[Stu Burguiere]

Must be healthy. You make that. And I think the conservative approach to this is to say we make the choice whether we eat Froot Loops or not. We all can look at the label. We can choose. And you know what? In many circumstances, a lot of these companies have come up with alternate. Different, you know, alternate things like the Simply Cheetos, for example.

[Glenn Beck]

Now, do I.

[Stu Burguiere]

There's any difference in the health quotient of Simply Cheetos with white cheese dust and orange Regular Cheetos I don't think there's any difference at all. But you get to choose whether you think those are better. That to me, is a much more consistent, conservative approach rather than begging for Canadian and European style regulations. I think that's a terrible approach. And here's my approach. I'm concerned that this. We could go down the wrong roads.

[Glenn Beck]

Here's my approach. Abolished the fda.

[Stu Burguiere]

I mean, I abolished the fda. Much closer to that position. But, like, you can't. If you abolish the fda, what you get is the free market.

[Glenn Beck]

Exactly right.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right. That's not. I don't think RFK Jr. Would say that's exactly right.

[Glenn Beck]

Probably not. Because he wants. He as well, wants all kinds of guardrails.

[Stu Burguiere]

Yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

I want the free market to work. And you know, if Froot Loops, you know, if you started getting cancer because. And the doctor's all like, you know, I think it's the orange fruit loop. You know, it's not the red one or the other one.

[Chip Roy]

The red one is fine.

[Glenn Beck]

It's just the orange. Just the orange fruit loop. You know, I think that would stop in the free market. That would stop.

[Stu Burguiere]

It would. And we see that, of course, especially.

[Glenn Beck]

If you had the press going the way they used to and the government going the way it used to. You used. If you had a problem, if a company was screwing you, you would go to the press. And the press wasn't in bed with the giant corporation and the government. So the press would say, hey, there's this consumer here and here and here that have been royally screwed. They're riddled with cancer, and they're saying it's the orange fruit loop. When we've looked at studies and see that maybe General Mills knew that, that that orange one was bad, but they're making money because they also produce the chemotherapy drugs. That's when the government would come in and pound them into sand.

[Stu Burguiere]

And that's a really egregious example that you created. Intentionally egregious. And that's where I feel like our guardrails should be as Americans. Right. Europeans don't put their guardrails there. They ban everything the second they think. Anytime anyone complains about it. I don't want that.

[Glenn Beck]

Except for drugs. It's so weird. Except for pharmaceuticals. They are so far ahead of us in their drugs that you cannot get here that you can when it, you know, your trial. You know, people go over for experimental stuff over in Europe all the time.

[Stu Burguiere]

And Trump did help fix a lot of that.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, he did.

[Stu Burguiere]

I Think it's where you fall back to on a lot of this stuff. Right. Like Trump, if it's something he cares about, which I think a lot of the stuff would be, he's not gonna let RFK Jr go crazy.

[Glenn Beck]

He cares about global warming. He says that's the biggest scam ever.

[Stu Burguiere]

Right.

[Glenn Beck]

He'll not let him.

[Stu Burguiere]

I'll be shocked if RFK Jr starts like, hey, global warming's a health crisis. I'm HHS health crisis. The Democrats would do stuff like that. RFK Jr given free reign, would do stuff like that.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Stu Burguiere]

Trump won't allow stuff like that. No, I don't worry about that. But I do worry about he's going to hire thousands of people. Are those people going to be ideological conservatives worried about the free market? Are they going to be people that think a lot more like RFK Jr. Trump can't monitor every one of those hires.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. But hopefully Trump has people to monitor all those hires.

[Stu Burguiere]

Monitor the monitors.

[Glenn Beck]

Pat Gray, thank you so much for stopping by.

[Stu Burguiere]

You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program and you can find full.

[Glenn Beck]

Episodes wherever you download podcasts. Mr. Chip. Roy. How are you, sir?

[Chip Roy]

Glenn, I'm doing great. How are you, brother?

[Glenn Beck]

I am. I am really good. How are you feeling about what's going on now in Washington? What's it feel like there?

[Chip Roy]

Well, I mean, thankfully, we haven't spent a whole lot of time here. America's better off until we get everybody in, in January.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Chip Roy]

But we were up here for a couple days last week. I mean, look, I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good about the direction of where the President is going with what I have described as disruptors.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Chip Roy]

Nominees. People who will challenge the status quo, take on the swamp, drain the swamp, whatever language you want to use. People who get it, they want to change things, from Pete Exeter to Bobby Kennedy and everybody in between. But to be clear, I'm not saying I agree with all these people on every issue. Neither do you.

[Glenn Beck]

Yep.

[Chip Roy]

What we need is people who are going to rock the boat up here. You know, tell the corporatists and tell the big government bureaucrats. Nope. It's a new day. We're going to start over and we're going to figure out how to get this right. So that's good. I think we've got a few little hiccups along the way. Right. We need to make sure Congress. You know, I used a line last week. I'm all about unity. I love being on a team. Love it. It feels Great. There's nothing better than when you're on a team together and you get everything done together. But I'm on a team to win. I'm not on a team for the sake of it.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Chip Roy]

So Republicans keep talking about unity in the House and all that, but then I see yesterday a few of my colleagues go on the airwaves and start walking back mass deportations, start talking about how we're not going to do certain things. We're only going to focus on this over here. I've got another colleague over here chattering about lifting the salt cap, saying nothing's going to move unless we get that salt tax cap lifted so that Yankee, northeastern states that have high tax rates can get big federal subsidies for them. There are a lot of little things here. We're going to have to figure out how to square and get everybody on the same page to advance the Trump agenda. But things are moving in the right direction. But Congress is going to figure out how to get itself arranged to deliver.

[Glenn Beck]

So how do you feel about Mike Johnson now? I mean, the president seems to have endorsed him and embraced him. He was at the UFC fight with the president and Elon Musk and RFK and Tulsi on Friday night. So he looks like he's sitting at the cool kids table. How do you feel about him?

[Chip Roy]

Well, look, this is one of those things where, you know, over time, we're going to see what he does. And there's time between now and January 3rd, there's time between, you know, after that on how we're going to perform. But Mike's a friend. I like Mike a lot. We're talking, his team and I are talking, you know, we came to some resolution last week to get some of the moderates who were targeting conservatives with retribution amendments, saying they were going to kick us off committees if we opposed rules and things like that. We got all those taken down. Unfortunately, it was kind of in a, in a quick, hasty deal. And some of us agreed, some of us didn't. But the motion to vacate was agreed to live from 1 to 9. The bottom line, all that is inside baseball. We've made some progress in unity. But I will say I was, I was a little concerned about what I heard yesterday out of the speaker, kind of walking back a little bit, the focus on deportations. I think we need to just keep our foot on the gas. We need to identify the 10 things that we're going to deliver for the American people. And we've got to go do it. And we can't be doing any back, you know, stepping backward. We've got to unite for a purpose. I think we're getting closer to unity. I think Mike's doing a good job trying to pull us all together, genuinely believe that, getting us in a room to try to figure it out. But we still have work to do. Okay, November, what is today the 17th or 18th or 19th?

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, 18th. You know, the. Is it the 19th? No, it's the 18th. You know, the thing that everybody in Congress needs to remember is the president that deported more people than Anybody else, over 10 million people, was Bill Clinton. You want to take 10 to 15 million people? That's. That was already done. And most people don't even know that Bill Clinton did that. So please don't talk to me about, oh, well, we can't do that many. Yes, you can. Bill Clinton did it back in the 90s.

[Stu Burguiere]

Well, go ahead, Congressman.

[Chip Roy]

Yeah, no, no, no, that's exactly right. I mean, look, I want to be very clear. Our starting place should be for any individuals who came here illegally or were released into the United States illegally, illegitimately by the Harris Biden mayorkas regime. They need to be removed. They need to be deported. That is the starting place. I have no problem prioritizing criminals. Neither do you. I have no problem prioritizing people who came in here and got no papers at all. They just came in and we're got aways. No problem. No problem going through and figuring out how to establish fees to pay for all this stuff, force this all to a decision point and figure out how we're going to proceed at the end of that rainbow. But we're going to move through this methodically and do the job that the American people sent us here to do. And that means deportations. And that means there's going to be some uncomfortable conversations, there's going to be some uncomfortable actions. But we must deport. We've got a serious problem in this country with people that have been dumped into our country undermining who we are as a country, undermining the rule of law, not just because they're criminals, not just because they might be terrorists, but because they've been dumped into a massive welfare state. Roll back the welfare state, roll back all of the big government programs, roll back all of the benefits that are provided to people. You know, deport massive numbers of these. Then tell me who's left who want to achieve the American dream through hard work, not through handouts. Then I will. Then I'll be saying, oh, like Milton Friedman, sure, I'M for open borders if you don't have a welfare state. That's not entirely true, but it's roughly correct.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Stu Burguiere]

What does this look like in real life? Because when I hear the media talk about mass deportations, they're describing a process where concentration camps. Concentration camps, where like just trucks are just, you know, riding up into Hispanic communities and going house to house and searching. Like this happens without all that nonsense. Right. I mean this is. Yeah. How does this work exactly?

[Chip Roy]

Well, I don't want to get in front of the great guys like Tom Homan and others, former ICE directors. Now the borders are, et cetera. I'm going to let them lay out their plans. What I would tell you is what you're going to do is you're going to make it to where there's going to be a lot of self deportation, a lot of understanding of what's coming and people are going to get it and they're going to want to go. But you're going to. Yes. Seek out the criminals using ICE enforcement internally. Right. We've got a million people, by the way, 1 million who already have deportation orders and have not been deported. So find them. Can we start with them? Right. Get them and release, you know, and deport them.

[Glenn Beck]

Right.

[Chip Roy]

Let's go around and figure out when we do enforcement, interior enforcement, where you've got people and they're in jails. Let's put pressure on sanctuary cities. Start there. Anybody who doesn't have paperwork, doesn't have a notice to appear, boom, release like you're gone. So remove. So that's what I think we need to do. But I'm not going to get in front of the, of the President in terms of the specific program. But let's, let's be very clear what the President's doing and putting Tom Home in there as borders are Brendan Carr at the fcc.

[Glenn Beck]

Amen Kennedy.

[Chip Roy]

These are all great folks. Brendan Carr is going to come in and do what the Biden regime wouldn't do, actually increase broadband, end all of the woke nonsense. He will immediately start challenging things like the Audacity purchased by Soros. He will do all of the great work we need to do and create economic activity and I think be a true transformation at the fcc. And I assume you agree with that. I agree, yeah.

[Glenn Beck]

A huge fan of him and I've never been a fan of anyone at the FCC until him. There was a 28 year old that was taken into federal custody last week in Houston. His name is Anas said he was charged with providing Material support to ISIS investigating how to execute an attack on local military recruiting centers and boasting that he would commit a 911 style attack once he had the necessary resources. I reading the story this weekend and you know, they left out one thing. Is he here illegally? Do you know or can you find out? I mean it happened here in Texas.

[Chip Roy]

Yeah, we've got, my staff is looking into that and I don't have the sort of final answer. Odds seem pretty dang good that that individual is here illegally. And we're looking into that. And that's just one more example of what we're dealing with nationally. And you know, all of the examples, we've gone through them. So now it's turned into moving from a campaign statement, right? Talking about Jocelyn Nungare, talking about Lake and Riley, talking about go down the list. We're now moving into, guys, this is why we need to act. And it's not just the crime, it's not just those situations. It's the fact, Glenn, that we have 511 1/2 million foreign born people in this country. I listened to everybody go on the screen, including I think, unfortunately the speaker said this and some others where you've got, oh, we need to increase and improve legal immigration. Okay, sure, I think we ought to improve it, but right now I think we ought to freeze it. I think we ought to have a freeze right now. We've been allowing 600,000 to a million people into our country every year for decades. We have, As I said, 51 1/2 million foreign born. 30 million of those are not citizens or green card holders. I'm sorry, they're green card but they're not citizens. You have 30 million people here and some of them are illegal. We're transforming our country. This is all a higher percentage than the early part of the 20th century after we'd had mass migration. We've got to reform our education system, teach people who come here about our principles, why our system of government matters, why we believe in freedom, make sure that we have people who want to achieve the American dream and don't want handouts. We've got to cut the bureaucratic state, we've got to cut the massive mandatory entitlement program and all these benefits and things that are going at people who are coming here both legally and illegally. You want to come here and achieve the American dream, God bless you. But I'm not going to be up here and allow the chamber of commerce and all the corporate whores who are selling out our country because they want Cheap labor or the same corporate whores who are now saying, oh, we like. You got big oil and gas companies saying we like regulation. Why? Because they're rent seekers. They want the government to set them up for more profit, just like the insurance companies that Bobby Kennedy is going to take on. Just like all the other big corporations trying to get rich on the back of the taxpayer. We need to take this all on, including securing the border.

[Glenn Beck]

Are you concerned that, I mean, the left is not going to roll over? I think we are. We're in a. We're in the eye of the hurricane right now. It seems peaceful, seems nice, but they are not going to take this sitting down there. They've made plans on, you know, exercising. I love this how they love the 10th amendment all of a sudden, but exercising their state power to make sure that they don't have to comply by these federal regulations, et cetera, et cetera. And they're going to be suing the Trump administration. They say a lot. You concerned?

[Chip Roy]

Of course I'm concerned. The very first thing they'll do when we start deporting people is go to court and try to get an injunction saying that these individuals have legitimacy and status based on what the Biden and Harris Mayorkas regime did. There's zero question that's what they're going to do. And we're going to need an aggressive president to push back on it. We're going to need an aggressive Congress, not to blink, not to do the bidding of the big corporate interests or frankly, those NGOs that were all a part of the problem with getting those people here in the first place. We're going to have to be resolved. Let me be very clear. Somebody pointed out after Brexit and the Tories, they were supposed to deliver on ending the mass influx of immigrants into Britain. They didn't. And they got sent out on their butt. Here's the thing. We are going to deliver in the next two years or the Republican Party will go the way of the Whigs. It will be no more. And that's the truth. The president, Republicans to a degree, were given a mandate. The mandate was get the government out of our daily lives, get regulations down so we can drive up economic prosperity and get inflation down. That was one of the mandates, is affordability. And the other mandate was securing the border of the United States and ending all this nonsense and deporting. The President campaigned on it. Mass deportations of all the people that have been illegally dumped into our country. That's what the mandate was. And we've got to deliver.

[Glenn Beck]

Chip, as always, thank you for what you do. And let us know how we can help when you. When we need to raise our voices to be heard, let us know.

[Chip Roy]

I appreciate it, Glenn. We will. And there's going to be some fights that are upcoming. I'm trying to figure out how to set this up and work with my colleagues. I'm going into this with, you know, hey, we're open door. Let's all sit down, let's figure out how to do it. But when push comes to shove, we're going to have to start calling balls and strikes on this stuff and deliver. And don't worry, we'll have those moments.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, I know you haven't announced this, you know, and I don't. I don't know what your thoughts are even on it, but I'd like to announce today that. That you're running against Cornyn for the Senate. And also I'd like to announce your win against Cornyn in the Senate.

[Chip Roy]

Well, you're really going to have some fun with me now, aren't you? Making. I'm going to stay focused on my job. 50,000 Texans. I got to make sure we back up President Trump. The Lord is in charge. Whatever doors he opens for me, I'll be happy to walk through them.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I think that's what I heard. Is that what you heard, Chip? I love you, man. Thank you so much.

[Chip Roy]

Which ones were open?

[Glenn Beck]

All right. Thank you so much.
