PROOF That Biden's DOJ is COLLUDING With Trump Prosecutors?

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is demanding that the Department of Justice turn over documents related to several of the prosecutors going after former president Donald Trump. These documents, Bailey believes, will prove that the White House is colluding with these prosecutors to attack Biden’s political opponent and keep him off the campaign trail. Bailey joins Glenn to make the case that these prosecutors — including Alvin Bragg and Letitia James in New York and Fani Willis in Georgia — should be disqualified. Plus, Bailey also explains why he has threatened to sue the city of Kansas City for doxing Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.

GLENN: We have the Missouri attorney general. He is demanding a couple of things. First of all, that the Department of Justice turn over the documents related to several of president Trump's prosecutions as the prosecutions appeared to be part of a coordinated effort, by the DOJ, that involved the White House. Andrew Bailey. The attorney general is with us now.

Andrew, how are you, sir? All of the time doing well, thank you. Thanks for having me on.

GLENN: You bet. Thank you. You are one of the really good AGs in the country. And I have to tell you, it is -- the first of the last of the line, are the AGs. And if you guys go dark, it's up to the sheriffs.

And I would like to not get to the sheriff part. So thank you for everything you're doing.

Tell me -- tell me about what you're looking for, from the Department of Justice. Why you're looking for it. And what the response has been so far.

ANDREW: Well, and, Glenn, I appreciate you covering this story, extensively. Everyone can see the elicit witch hunt prosecutions that are going on from Alvin Bragg's office, from Fani Willis' office, from Leticia James' office, and from Joe Biden's crooked Department of Justice.

GLENN: And we know already -- do we not know for a fact, that there are ties directly to the White House. That they're coordinating.

ANDREW: That's right. Yeah. They're absolutely coordinating. The Biden Department of Justice has become the nerve center for a coordinated witch hunt prosecution of a political opponent.

And it's not designed to obtain a legal ballot.

It's basically designed to take anyone running against Joe Biden. Off the campaign trail.

How do we know this? Because they've deployed resources at the state level.

That's illicit collusion. And I'm talking about Matt Colangelo, this was the number two ranking official at Biden's crooked Department of Justice.

A long time ENT activist, with deep ties to the Democratic Party, who has now taken a job with Alvin Bragg's office. And it's leading the prosecution in the courtroom in Manhattan at the state level, against President Donald Trump.

That is sufficient evidence, to disqualify the prosecutors. And we demand record. We need to have transparency. I think they have enormous liability on their professional license you're. Civil liability. And potentially criminal liability.

At some time, we have to talk about prosecuting the prosecutors.

GLENN: Thank you. May I just call you, Andrew.

ANDREW: Yes. Please.

GLENN: So, Andrew, how unusual is it for that kind of a -- a transfer of job -- I mean, does that happen?

Is this just our speculation?

ANDREW: Well, in isolation, it wouldn't be a problem in and of itself.

The problem comes from the elicit motivations that can be imputed to these prosecutors.

Let's talk about Alvin Bragg for a second. Which, by the way, I love that his website for his office is one standard of justice for all. How does this guy keep a straight face while saying that?

This is an individual who worked for Leticia James, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute Donald Trump, who has been involved in civil litigation against Donald Trump when he worked at the New York attorney general office.

There's no way a court in Missouri would allow him to prosecute that criminal case. Even -- even if there was a criminal case, which I don't concede that there is.

It's not supported by the facts for the law. We covered that extensively. We talked about that, ad nauseam.

But the elicit motivation of the prosecutors is so evident by the previous behavior and statements that Alvin Bragg has made. Same with Michael Colangelo. I mean, the DOJ cases against President Donald Trump are also equally specious in nature.

In other words, not supported by the facts of the law. So Joe Biden keeps documents at his garage, where anyone can get to them. And he's too old to know what he's doing. So let's let him off the hook. Despite the fact, he's somehow the chief executive of the United States of America. But we're going to go after President Donald Trump, who had the authority to declassify the very documents he was in possession of, that were in a safe. So, again, you've got Matthew Colangelo reading all of that, and now going to help Alvin Bragg. That is conspiracy of impropriety at a minimum, and I believe there is actual impropriety. Substantive impropriety. The political motivation of the prosecutors is to sufficient to call into question the judgment in those cases. Couple with the fact, they brought baseless charges from the facts of the law.

And it will undermine the credibility of whatever illegal convictions they ultimately obtain.

GLENN: So tell me what cases you're looking at. You're looking at Alvin Bragg. And you're looking at -- shoot. What was the other one you just --

ANDREW: Leticia James. Fani Willis.

GLENN: Yeah. All of them.

ANDREW: All of them. Yeah. There's a document in history. This isn't just some conspiracy theory.

I mean, your listeners will recall in 2016 how the DOJ Deep State conspired to perpetrate the Russian collusion hoax against President Trump to undermine his presidency before he took office.

And think about those text messages between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok.

You're telling me, that isn't going on between Leticia James, Alvin Bragg, Matthew Colangelo. Fani Willis. The whole crew. And so we know this evidence is out there. And it needs to be transparent for the public.

GLENN: So is there a statute of limitations on any of these?

ANDREW: You know, it depends on what facts are uncovered. But I don't think we're at any risk of losing ability to hold the wrongdoers account. Again, that can take many different forms.

First and foremost. We, need to expose this so the public knows what's going on here.

It was never about an actual criminal case against President Trump it was always about getting him off the campaign trail.

Now, once that is established, which, again, circumstantial evidence gives rise to the reasonable inference today. But we're in possession of the documents that we believe will reveal an actual substantive impropriety. Then we start talking about censor. Having a civil suit for violation of his civil rights. And if crimes were committed, on absolutely criminal prosecution should be on the table. For far too long, the conservatives have allowed this law fair to go on. It's gotten worse and worse and worse, to where now, Missourians are being denied access to their chosen political candidate, their chosen presidential candidate, President Donald Trump.

GLENN: So you know law fare is the wave of the future. If President Trump wins, they're going to make what happened on January 6th, I think look like, I think a walk in the park. And they are lawyering up like crazy.

Law fare is the future. How do we turn that around?

ANDREW: Well, it's tough, because as conservatives we believe in the rule of law. We believe that the tradition of the Constitution still means something, and that we elevate the rules of the game above the players and the outcomes.

And so the only way to serve those rule of law principles, but also fight back against law fare is to hold those perpetrating lawfare accountable. And that's what I seek to do in this instance.

GLENN: Now, how likely are we to get these documents?

ANDREW: Well, I'm not going to be stonewalled by Biden's crooked Department of Justice. They may play that in the courts of New York. Which, by the way, shame on the judiciary in the State of New York for not disqualifying these prosecutors. And from, you know, allowing these appearances of impropriety to perpetrate, even from the bench in this illicit witch hunt prosecution. At the end of the day, this will not stand in Missouri. We won't be stonewalled by the Department of Justice. They have a responsibility of transparency.

Especially the heightened sensitivity over the presidential election. And so these are serious allegations. They need to live up to their obligations under the Freedom of Information Act, and we are going to shine the light of truth on this, as soon as practicable.

GLENN: And when we have the document case, when they turned over the documents, we found solution, did we not?

ANDREW: That's absolutely true. Again, this is a documented pattern of behavior. That extends far beyond the current presidential election sile. It goes all the way back to 2016.

GLENN: Unbelievable.

Let me switch subjects. The Kansas City Chiefs, which full disclosure, my family and I, we root for the Kansas City Chiefs all the time.

And, you know, we love the Hunt family, and everything else. What happened there, is -- is such an attack on, honestly, freedom of expression for your religion. He's speaking -- I mean, the left always says, you can keep it in your house of worship.

Well, that was a religious university. And he got a standing ovation. Nobody seemed to really be offended by it. And they have gone after him, and docked him.

What are you doing?

ANDREW: Yeah, well, look, we're not going to let city officials and Kansas City who doxed Harrison Butker in retaliation for his free expression of his faith, of his religious beliefs. We're not going to let them violate the Missouri Human Rights Act that exists in order to prohibit that kind of discriminatory behavior.

And you're right. If anyone has watched the commencement address itself, I would commend for everybody -- you know what he said at the beginning? You know what Harrison Butker said?

The left wants to drive free expression of Christian beliefs from public discourse, and that's exactly what's happened.

GLENN: Yes.

ANDREW: That's what the left is doing to Harrison Butker. Now, the problem from a state law perspective is when the city, using an official Twitter account, publishes Harrison Butker's residence. Why did they do that? In retaliation. Like, you can't retaliate them, but for the free expression of their faith. And that's what's going on here. And luckily, I'm the bad guy.

Quinton Lucas the mayor of Kansas City within the last 72 hours has written an incendiary letter to me, accusing me of fanning the flames of racial discourse. What? That has nothing to do with it. You know you're doing the right thing, when the left baselessly plays the race card. So somehow, my enforcement of the statute intended to prevent discrimination is discriminatory.

Makes zero sense. That's when you know you're doing the right thing. We're going to fight for all Christians -- any faith community's ability to have free expression of religious belief, protected by the Constitution and the laws of the State of Missouri.

GLENN: And what are you going on that, Andrew?

ANDREW: We demand accountability and transparency there too. We've demanded documents about who manages the Social Security media accounts, who has access to it.

Why this post was tweeted out, when it was. We need to make sure that there's guardrails in place, to ensure that, again, the government has been weaponized to push a radical progressive discriminatory agenda in violation of state law.

If we have to, we'll go to court and put an injunction to put a stop to it.

GLENN: Andrew Bailey, the attorney general of Missouri. Always good to talk to you, Andrew. Thank you so much.

ANDREW: Thank you, sir. Appreciate you for having me on.

GLENN: You bet.

If you didn't hear Bill Maher's comments on the Kansas City Chief Kicker's comments, listen to what he said. Cut two.

VOICE: I couldn't more not like this guy. He's in big trouble because he said at this event. And this is the Catholic college. Conservative Catholics. And they -- he's now history's greatest monster. Again, I don't agree with much of this guy. I don't get the thing. He said, some of you -- talking to the women.

Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world. Okay. That seems fairly like modern.

But I would venture to guess, that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you are going to bring into this world. I don't see what the big crime is. I really don't, and I think this is part of the problem people have with the left. Like he's saying, some of you may go on to lead successful careers. But a lot of you are excited about this other way, that everybody used to be. And now, can't that just be a choice too?

And I feel like they feel very put upon. There's only one way to be a good person. And that's to get an advanced degree from one of those asshole universities like Harvard.
(laughter)
I find it very ironic that he's saying, you know what, in my world, you know, we like the women to stay at home. And just have babies. And the college kids and the young people find this absolutely abhorrent. But they're demonstrating for Hamas.

Who make that a law. It's not just an opinion in Hamas. That you stay home and have the babies. We will enforce you for doing that. Okay. I just wanted to make that point.

GLENN: I have to tell you, I think Bill Maher has become -- and I don't agree with him on a lot of stuff. He is becoming my favorite liberal. Because he's an actual classic liberal once again. He's somebody who is just saying, freedom of speech, man.

Say what you want. Don't force everybody else.

Thank you, Bill Maher.

All right. Back in just a second. First, let me tell you about Ruff Greens. Your dog is a member of your family. You know that. He's also there to protect you if somebody else breaks into your house. So hypothetical situation here. Let's say you feed your dog kibble food. The burglar brings hamburger along and gives it to them.

I mean, you know, the burglar is like, hey. I will steal all your stuff. Because I just have a burger.

While your fateful dog is attacking you. Because he

Canada FORCED this hospice center to EUTHANIZE its patients?!

Canada is forcing its Medical Assistance in Dying program, which offers euthanasia as a “medical treatment” option, on hospice centers. Delta Hospice Society executive director Angelina Ireland joins Glenn Beck to give the horrific details of how far the government went to try and get her to bend the knee: “I call it a culling. It’s a Canadian cull.”

GLENN: Let me take you to Canada for just a second.

And I want to -- this is a story that happened a while ago. But I want to just show you the dangers of public/private partnerships.

You're hearing this all the time. And every time, Joe Biden would say, public will she private partnership. It was all the Green New Deal and everything else.

I kept saying, that is fascism. That is exactly the deal that Mussolini and Hitler made. That's the difference between Communism and fascism.

They let you do your own thing. But you're a partner with the government. And as long as you abide by all of their rules, you're fine!

But the minute you disagree, you don't have a say. They'll throw you out on the street, so fast, your head will spin.

And that's exactly what happened to a hospice center. The Delta Hospice Society.

I have the -- the executive director on. Angelina Ireland.

And I asked her to come on today, to tell us the story of what happened, to her hospice facility.

Angelina, thank you for joining me.

ANGELINA: Hello, again. Thank you so much for having me today.

GLENN: You bet. You bet.

So you -- the hospice society is a public/private partnership with Canada.

You guys raised $8.5 million to build this property. And you negotiated a 25 or 35 million-dollar lease for the property. Right?

Tell me about this.

ANGELINA: Right. So we're a private society. So a 34-year organization.

Palliative care is basically, you take care of people, when they're chronically ill or terminally ill. You take care of them well.

So we fundraised over a couple -- a few years ago, $8 million to open a hospice and a palliative care support center next door. And so we raised that money.

We got a 35-year land lease with the public health authority. We built two buildings. A ten-bed hospice, a 7500 square foot supportive care center, where we did our counseling, all the supportive programs.

And then the service agreement was for operating costs. So every year, they give us $1.4 million, and we built those buildings. We opened them, and we operated our program, at the hospice for ten years.

Everything went fine, until this thing they called, the state euthanasia program called MAID. Right?

GLENN: Maid.

ANGELINA: And then the province basically came to us and said, you will have to start providing euthanasia. You will have to start killing your patients in the hospice. Because you're getting -- you're getting public money, right?

We said, absolutely not. We absolutely will not.

At which point, you're exactly right.

The fascism kicked in. I just call it stone cold communism.

And said, you're not getting any money, if you don't start killing your patients.

So then they cancelled that service agreement.

Which means, that's fine.

Look, we don't need your money. We'll be fine without your money.

Which apparently is the wrong answer.
(laughter)

GLENN: Yeah.

ANGELINA: Then they went after the lease. And we had 25 years left on that land lease, and they cancelled it.

And now, these incidentals like the buildings on them, they just consider those to be some kind of an old shack or fence, and they expropriated. So at the end of the day, they evicted, the organization from our buildings. They expropriated those assets, which were valued at eight and a half million dollars. Kicked us out, and took -- took our stuff.

And then they -- they started to operate our hospice, and they put in the euthanasia.

GLENN: Unbelievable.

They give no money for the buildings. I mean, it was their land, right? That's kind of the public/private partnership. You're taking money from them to run it, but you said to them, we don't need it.

But also, that was -- was that not federal land, that you were on? Or some sort of medical kind of preparedness of Canada.

JASON: It was. Well, it was.

Which is considered to be -- well, it was belonged to the health authority, but it was a registered lease. The titled office with 25 years left.

GLENN: Right. Right.

ANGELINA: So we had a right to be there. And of course to continue on for another 25 years.

But, of course, no, they didn't allow it.

GLENN: So when you went to the court. What did the court say?

ANGELINA: Well, you see, we didn't that get far. Because we went to three very, very prominent lawyers. And they told us straight-up.

You're not going to win.

You understand this, people?

You might walk in with one lawyer. They're going to walk in with 15 lawyers, all funded by the taxpayer.

GLENN: The government. Yeah.

ANGELINA: And you may win the first round. But you will not win -- they will tie it up. And it's called lawfare. They advised us again and again and again, to just move on. Take our punches. Take the licking from the government, and move on.

The important thing for us, was to hold on to our organization.

Because then the euthanasia after this, came for us. To try to take everything.

And we still have assets. But we did lose our bricks and mortar in the moment.

GLENN: That is crazy.

You know, I have described what's happening all around the world. With the -- with the extreme left.

With Islamists.

Not Muslims.

Islamists.

What is happening with the Communists and the fascists, is a death cult. It all seems to revolve around death. They take glee in death.

And Canada is shockingly, in many ways, leading the way on this with MAID.

You don't even know how many people are killed now with MAID a year, do you?

ANGELINA: No. We don't. We do not. I call it a culling. It's a Canadian cull. They're killing the sick people, the mentally ill, the disabled. Veterans. Homeless. The poor.

And then they're going after the children. But we do not know the numbers, exactly. I mean, the government is admitting to 60,000. There's absolutely no way it's 60,000.

I think they forgot a zero.

It's widespread. It's now considered a health care option.

When the doctor comes to a sick and vulnerable patient and saying, how would you just like to die? It's gotten completely out of hand.

It's truly a national horror for Canadians. For certainly people of faith in my country.

Pro-life for my country.

That we have no control over this.

We have no access to authentic true numbers, information.

And this whole consortium, that I call empire MAID has taken over the health care system.

GLENN: What is the -- what's the goal of this?

Do you think?

What's really behind it?

ANGELINA: Certainly. You know, so they want to talk about -- they -- they have captured the moral high ground on this, right?

If you want to be compassionate. You will have to start to kill people.

That's the only way to be compassionate. That's the only way to provide human rights.

So that very potent message, they've been able to roll it to a narrative, which is incredibly horrid.

The word is like -- it aches me. It's overwhelming.

GLENN: Yeah. Right.

ANGELINA: But why? Our public health care system, which is what happens when any government goes completely public. We have no private available.

It is illegal. It's bankrupt. We have --

GLENN: Hold on just a second. I want Americans to hear this.

Private health care, being a doctor and providing private health care is illegal in Canada.

ANGELINA: Yes, it is. The only thing you can do is to have cosmetic things done privately. That's it. You want a boob job, a nose job. You can go ahead, get a doctor and pay for that.

Everything else, it must be administered through the state, period. It has to go up to the Supreme Court of Canada. So this is undisputable.

Private health care is illegal.

GLENN: You know, I look at -- we're -- you have several states that are now trying to pass much of this.

And they are in the laws, that are being passed.

It is -- it is -- it's a requirement not to put assisted suicide down on the death.

So you have cancer.

But you didn't die of cancer.

You had cancer.

You have depression. And the doctors said, well, you can kill yourself over that.

It does not say, assisted suicide.

It is going to be illegal to put that on the death certificates.

It just has to say, depression.

Cancer.

Whatever it is.

That they helped you kill yourself over, that's -- that's what the cause of death is.

So you'll never, ever be able to count it!

You'll never be able to track it!

It is just evil, evil what's happening.

ANGELINA: It's true.

And how many people will be killed by the state? That is going to be the question. You will never know, that you are giving far too much power to the state.

Unaccountable.

Unquestionable.

GLENN: Are you -- are you shocked at the -- because I am here in America.

I mean, we just -- New York just voted for an Islamist who is saying, you know, he is for Hamas.

He is also a communist.

And they just elected him, or, you know, chose him as the Democratic candidate.

And nobody really seems to care!

When it comes to death all over, when you're seeing these things happen, I am shocked by my own citizens! Do you feel that way in Canada?

ANGELINA: Well, I personally am not shocked.

Because I know that the only thing that the socialists and the Communists ever do well, was kill people.

This should not come as a shock to anyone.

The -- the short sightedness unfortunately of a people. Is that they tend to get rewarded in the short term.

They give them stuff, money. Benefits.

It's only crops.

Ultimately, it will -- at the literal demise to allow, this kind of philosophy, political ideology.

To come into your country. Somewhere are you hopeful for the future, Angelina?

ANGELINA: You know, I love my country. To be honest with you, I am not. I am not.

We have seen in my country, an overwhelming immigration. That has come in. Talking about millions of people in a very short time.

That has literally destroyed our infrastructure, brought the health care system, to its knees.

A lot of people in my country, don't even have a family doctor.

They can't find a family doctor. They have to wait for months, upon years for the simplest of procedures.

And it isn't getting any better. So, you know, I pray because, of course, I am a person of faith. And I'm an apologetic Christian.

This is, again, very unpopular in my country.

But, you know, only God will be able to help us.

At this point.

GLENN: Thank you for ending it that way. Angelina, I appreciate it. Thank you for standing up and being vocal, and letting people of the world know that light still does exist, even though the darkness is growing.

Darker, faster. Thank you, Angelina. Appreciate it.

From Canada.

Did the Swamp RUIN the Big Beautiful Bill?

The Senate just sent the “Big Beautiful Bill” back to the House. But Rep. Chip Roy joins Glenn Beck with a warning: This isn’t the same bill President Trump proposed! The Swamp has made sure to cut back on its reforms. But are Trump’s tax cuts too important to fail?

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Chip Roy is with us from the great state of Texas.

Chip is a congressman, and welcome to the program. How are you, Chip?

CHIP: Well, Glenn, I'm -- you know, I'm continuing to work through, and trying to deliver the American people. But it's getting hard.

I'm with you. I'm tired of this bill right now.

GLENN: Yeah, you're living the dream, brother.

You are just living -- who doesn't want your job?

My gosh, what's -- what -- a glorious. Glorious, fun-filled life you must live.

CHIP: Yeah, there's -- there's been -- no, no, no.

GLENN: So tell me.

Tell me, is this thing gotten better or worse?

CHIP: Unfortunately, Glenn. I believe it's gotten worse.

Now, we've not seen the final product of the Senate. We don't have the tax. We've got to review it.

I try to be level-headed during these things. I had enormously strong and good friends in the administration, who in good faith, want to see this pass. Just as you do. Just as I do, just as the American people do.

They want to see a move forward in legislation to make tax cuts permanent. To deliver on the border funding that we need. You know, Steven Miller is a long-time friend. I've known him 25 years.

Russ Voit is a long-time friend. I've known him for 25 years. We've been working together in the trenches for as long as I can remember. We all want to deliver.

The problem is, the swamp is going to swamp.

And right now, we have a bill, that in my estimation, violates the house framework.

But more importantly, would add significantly to the deficits. Now, we have differing views.

GLENN: More. More than it did. More than it did, right?

CHIP: Quite a bit, in my view.

And look, there is going to be a debate about this. About tax cuts. And revenues. And all the stuff.

And I get it. Baseline. CBO. All these different things. I'm just telling you, Glenn, as objectively as I can, I look at the math, and I look at how you factor in economic growth, which I'm doing. Factor in revenues. And expenditures.

And what we're doing, on mandatory spending.

Which is not enough.

The fact that we're only repealing half of the green new scam, if we're lucky.

The fact that we're continuing to allow Medicaid. To go to illegals. Because of some arcane center rules.

The fact that we're continuing to allow Obamacare subsidies to fund transgender surgeries.

The fact that we're going to -- in my estimation, have probably a couple of trillion of deficit spending in the first four years.

Which means, you will have more interest.

Which means, it's going to stack up, all to get savings, in five years.

That's not what you and I signed up for.

Now, I'm looking at this, trying to say, okay.

The president wants tax cuts. So does I.

The president wants borders, so do I.

I think the president wants us to repeal the entire Green New scam. I think the president wants us to get good reforms. Be careful.

Like handle Medicaid appropriately, and all of that, for our American citizens that depend on it.

But we haven't delivered. Because the Senate has a bunch of people in it, who don't want to deliver, and they are hiding behind the parliamentarian, and they're delivering the product that I didn't come to Washington, to sign up for, Glenn.

GLENN: All right. So let me ask you this. They're hiding behind the parliamentarian.

Is that -- I mean, they -- they say, there was a change in the bill, because of the Medicare paid to the illegals. And the parliamentarian said you have to keep it in there. Some arcane rule or whatever.

Couldn't the Senate Republicans just ignore that?

Is it fair -- what?

CHIP: They could overrule the parliamentarian. They could make a change, if they wanted to do so.

GLENN: Right.

CHIP: Now, some of these things take 60 votes. If they want to address this, they can address it.

But the real issue here is that behind the closed doors, what you know, is that there are senators, who don't want to make the reforms.

Don't want to make the changes. They're making their own policy choices. Based on what they want.

Right? You've got Lisa Murkowski right now. Instead of wanting to reform Medicaid, she wants to get a special carve-out for additional spending, for people in Alaska.

You've got, you know, Tillis. You've got others. They want us to go the wrong direction, when it comes to Medicaid reform.

And, Glenn. I've got to be honest. How many times have you and I been on the phone over the last decade, talking about shutdowns by discretionary spending. Like every two years.

GLENN: Oh, I know.

CHIP: Countless times. Every time we have one of those fights. The people of this town say, Chip, you need to shut up because the real problem is mandatory spending. Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid.

It's not fighting over all this stuff. You're wasting all our time.

I didn't think it was a waste of our time.

I didn't think we should be funding weaponized government.

I didn't think we should continue to jack up spending for the alphabet soup of regulations in America.

But I said, okay. Guys, here we are.

We are going to do this reconciliation package. We will reform Medicaid, right? We ended up fighting like cats and dogs to get the reforms, the work requirements we got out of the House. It was good. Not great.

The Senate, now they're working through it. And they are fighting every inch. And it got actually a little better in certain respects, thank to Rick Scott.

He's been fighting hard. Mike Lee, Ron Johnson. We've got a little bit more of what's called provider taxes. But overall, we're not meeting the moment.

We're not getting enough Medicaid reform.

We're getting watered down, somewhat on illegals. How about missed taxes, Glenn?

We passed a measure in the House, to tax money going from America, so people going here illegally back to their own country.

The Senate -- it's crazy!

GLENN: Why? Why? Why?

CHIP: Because they don't like the policies, Glenn. Because here's the thing, there are bankers. Banks. Who came here and said, guys, this would be really hard on us.

If we had to enforce this policy.

Money flowing from our banks and institutions.

Mexico.

And Columbia.

And places. We really need a carve out, so the banks won't be taxed by this, and then they will go.

It would be way too burdensome on the people who come here and they're working hard, and they want to spend money on their families. But you and I both have a heart for what people face. And want to say, hey, I get it. You've got an honest person here, who is following the law, who came here illegally. They want to send money back home to their country. They can still do that. They can still find a way to do that, but we're taxing. Instead of saying, no, we're not going to do it.

But the biggest thing at the end of the day. Deficits go up, and I didn't sign up for deficits to go up.

GLENN: So you're not going to vote for them?

You're not voting for this.

CHIP: I can't. I cannot vote for this as it's currently structured. If we can come to some agreement.

And, Glenn, this is important.

The president rightly wants us to find a way to get a bill up. I get that. And I want to deliver. For six months, I've been busting my butt.

I voted for a bill that came out of the house, that I didn't like. It wasn't good enough. But I thought it was an important step.

I worked to come up with a budget framework with Jerry Harrington and others, to figure out, how to get this done and get it out of the House.

I think we made progress. We did get Medicaid reforms that are good. We did get some tightening down on the green new scam, and others didn't want to do it.

But we are now fighting a Senate that's watering down important stuff.

And importantly, the way they tax to spend policies. Overall, I can't look at this any way objectively, without telling my voters, the people that sent me to Washington to represent them. That the deficits will go up.

Now, last point, the president and the administration will say, look, guys, don't worry about that. We'll make it up with tariffs, and we will pay higher economic growth. Well, two things.

Number one, on the economic growth front, we assumed growth in our bill, Glenn.

We assumed 2.6 percent growth.

Now, you might say, well, gosh, we need three or four. Yeah, but we have to do a ten-year budget. 2.6 percent growth is a lot higher than what we've been experiencing the last two decades on average.

We picked a sweet spot of 2.6 percent growth. It is true, that if we have 4 percent growth for a decade, we will have much more of it.

I hope that's true. You hope that's true.

And if it is true, then great. It's gravy, that will give us money to buy down the debt. And save money. And get the deficits down further.

But I can't budget to two and a half percent. Sitting at 2 percent growth

It would be irresponsible.

GLENN: So I'm with you, Chip. I'm with you. And I've said this for a long time -- the Republicans are going to lose. They are going to lose, and they're going to lose because you're just not delivering for the American people, what you promised you would.

Donald Trump seems to be.

You know, at least he is trying.

He's doing a lot of the things he promised he would do.

I don't see that happening with the Republicans.

And so, you know, I don't know what -- what the midterm is going to look like.

But I will tell you this. He has to have that tax cut passed.

He's got to have it.

If we don't get that tax cut. Everything the Republicans have been trying to do. Or the Republican voters have wanted.

It's over. It's over.

Because the economy will spiral out of control without that tax cut. Agree or disagree?

CHIP: So I agree we must deliver on the tax cut. And I believe we will. When push comes to shove, there's no way we will get to December, and not provide an extension of tax cuts, that were so important in 2017.

Now, I'll remind everybody, the corporate rates were made permanent already.

Right?

What we're talking about dealing with is the expiration of certain personal tax issues. Marginal rate. But also child tax credit. Also standard deduction, et cetera. Now, I'm not sure.

I've got different views, on different ones of those policies.

Overall, we want to ensure, this stays in the pockets of the American people.

We have to deliver on that.

I will tell you this, if we don't address the inflation tax.

If we don't address the extent to which people are fleeing the American bond markets.

Because we are so irresponsible.

Then we're going to be doing a disservice to our kids and grandkids who can't afford a house.

They can't afford a house because the mortgage rates are too high.

GLENN: They can't afford it now, Chip.

They can't afford it now.

CHIP: So I think what we need to do, is I'm prepared to go back to the drawing board today. I want to go home tomorrow, or the next day.
Let's just get busy. We've been working on it.

Let's tighten down some of the spending.
Let's tweak what we've been doing and get the tax policy done. Get it set. Let's go back to the House bill, for example, that we passed.

It was a good, solid bill.

And get the Senate to adopt it, and pass it.

Or make some modest changes. But we have to get rid of some of these ridiculous things. Like Medicaid for illegal aliens, like pork that's going to Alaska.

Like specific giveaways.

And, you know, get rid of those things.

Go back to the House bill.

Make sure the inflation act is getting terminated.

Deliver on the tax cuts. Deliver on the border.

Deliver for the president.

I'm prepared to do that. But I will not swallow a crappy bill because the Senate tries to jam me with it.

GLENN: I have to tell you, I don't know how it's unpopular to say, no. We're not giving illegals any Medicare.

We're not.

Do you remember -- who was it, when we were in Congress. Barack Obama talked about Obamacare. He said, you lie!

Joe Wilson, wasn't it?

And everybody had a cow. Well, look at what we're doing. Look at what we're doing.

Look at what we're giving illegals.

The answer is no.

No, no, no, no. And I don't understand how that is not so simple.

I don't understand any Republican that doesn't understand, the green new deal, no! No!

USAID. No!

DOGE. Cut it. Why can't they see what -- I mean -- there is -- I mean to tell you, Chip. I don't mean to take this out on you. You're one of the good guys. You're trying to do this.

We're in between a rock and a hard place.

The president has to have what the president needs. To get the economy going.

We wait until January. You're right on top of the midterms.

You have -- the president is not turning this economy around, fast enough.

Because he can't get anyone in Congress to do Jack crap on anything!

You need to cut the freaking spending. And the waste. And the garbage.

And I tell you, I am with Elon Musk 100 percent.

100 percent.

You are one of these weasel Republicans, who don't -- who just go along, and just be like, you know what, we're going to have another five or $6 trillion to our debt.

I'm done. I'm done.

And Elon has said, I will -- if it's the last thing I do. I will make sure that none of these people get reelected. That's not going to be good.

That's not going to be good. For the republic.

Let alone, the Republican parties.

But, you know what, I've had enough. I've had enough.

And I think the American people have too.

CHIP: Well, Glenn, I will tell you this, July 4th is obviously Friday, Independence Day. Two hundred forty-nine years ago, and we already celebrated. We celebrate their courage. We celebrate Lexington and Concord.

We celebrate all the things -- we celebrate the men that stormed the beaches in Normandy.

And we celebrate all of the great courage that our men in women in uniform have done to fight in this country. How can I say, no, sorry, I'll have to vote for this bill, because there will be some political pressure.

When I regale the boys at the Alamo, sitting there, taking bullets. Knowing they were going to die.

But ran into a wall of bullets in Normandy.

Look, we have to deliver.

We have no choice. We all agree on that.

I'm sure I'm going to get labeled, you know, a -- any number of things.

That I'm not delivering on the president's agenda, that I'm jamming up a bill. Look, and I get it.

And I won't get defensive about it. The president wants this bill. And he is right to want this bill.

The Congress has to deliver a bill worth sending them. And I'm prepared to stay here, until we do.

But I won't vote for a bill, because I'm told I have to. Because a bunch of losers who are swamp creatures, who want pork and giveaways. Who don't have the cojones to stand up and deliver for the American people. And to actually reduce spending, and not hide behind parliamentaries. Not hide behind tax cuts.

They want to hide behind a tax cut, to tell me at the border, to tell me, you have to vote for this bill. Don't worry about this spending.

No, kiss my ass.

I will stand up and fight for the border and the tax cuts and the spending cuts. We've got to do it!

STU: It was very reminiscent of Daniel Boone there for just a second. Or I'm sorry. Not -- Davey Crockett, not Daniel Boone.

So thank you for that. Chip, God bless. Have a great holiday. Stand -- stand firm in what you believe in.

And just keep the fight. I appreciate the attitude that you have towards the president.

Give the president what he needs. Fight for the president, what he's asking for.

But you got to fight the swamp at the same time. Have to. Have to. Thank you, Chip. Appreciate it.
