Deep dives
The Urgency to Fight for Funding Issues and Border Security
Congressman Chip Roy emphasizes the need to fight against the clean continuing resolution (CR) and the current spending levels proposed by Speaker Pelosi. He argues for cuts, changes in policies to reduce spending, and a concrete plan to pass appropriations bills in December. Additionally, he highlights the importance of securing the border and offering a hypothetical negotiation strategy that ties funding to immigration policies. Chip Roy stresses the need for transparency, accountability, and tangible results in addressing the border crisis and reducing government spending.
Concerns over Far-reaching FCC Power Grab
Discussing the upcoming vote, Glenn Beck raises concerns about an impending, far-reaching administrative state power grab by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The proposed plan would grant the Biden administration complete control over internet services, infrastructure, rates, and expansion. Urging centrist Republicans to take action, Beck emphasizes the magnitude of this power grab and its potential impact on freedom of speech and commerce. The plan is seen as a major expansion of federal control over technology, prompting a need for resistance and protection of individual liberties.
Frustration with Funding Government without Addressing Critical Issues
Chip Roy expresses frustration with continued government funding without addressing crucial issues. He questions the wisdom of funding government agencies such as DHS, IRS, DOJ, UN, and ONRA without implementing reforms or addressing the pressing concerns surrounding these entities. Roy calls for substantial cuts, policy changes, and reconsideration of priorities, as continuing to fund agencies that are perceived as dysfunctional and at odds with the American people does not benefit the nation's citizens. He urges fellow Republicans to push for meaningful reforms and stand against funding without accountability.
The Need for Transparency in Government Operations
Highlighting the lack of transparency in various government operations, Glenn Beck emphasizes the importance of uncovering the truth. Issues such as corruption, family ties, weapon distribution, and unconstitutional actions by federal agencies are identified as matters that demand public scrutiny. Beck contends that without access to reliable and honest information, citizens are left at the mercy of a government that can manipulate, control, and propagate its own agenda. He asserts that the truth is essential in order to make informed decisions, hold leaders accountable, and safeguard individual freedoms and democracy.
A few pages of the Nashville school shooter's alleged manifesto were leaked to the public, and the FBI isn't happy. The government's censorship campaign is getting out of control. Senior contributor for the Federalist Benjamin Weingarten joins to expose how the federal government conspired with social media to censor conservatives during the 2020 election. Rep. Chip Roy joins to discuss the fight to aid Israel without also sending more aid to Ukraine and the battle to secure our southern border.
