Hour toll-free are telephone numbers 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
This battle that is going on in Congress is something that really you would think that this country would never have to argue, never have to debate, never have to discuss.
We'd never need legislation for, but that's not the case.
We now have what's called the SAVE Act that is being pushed by Republicans in the House, and it simply says that only American citizens should be able to vote in American elections, and it would prevent non-citizens from voting.
Especially after Joe Biden, what, 11-plus million unvetted illegal immigrants from over 180 countries, some with terror ties and some of our top geopolitical foes.
You would think of Biden and his regime and every Democrat so far is opposing the SAVED Act.
All it requires is proof of U.S. citizenship if you want to vote.
Democrats have steadfastly been opposing this bill.
They oppose other voting integrity measures like simple voter ID, signature verification.
They oppose updated voter rolls in some cases.
You know, you've had local municipalities, D.C., New York allowed it, but a court stopped it, where they allow illegal immigrants to literally vote in local elections.
It's insane.
Why would you allow non-citizens, people that didn't respect our laws, our border, our sovereignty, entered our country illegally and into this country?
And why would you oppose a bill preventing them from voting?
Why do Democrats, and there are many of them, that don't want any form of voter ID?
Why is it Democrats don't want other integrity measures like signature verification, updated voter rolls, chain of custody controls, or partisan observers watching in every precinct in the country?
The voting all day, the vote counting all night, up close.
Anyway, Congressman Chip Roy of Texas with us.
He's been out there in the front lines fighting for the SAVE Act.
He joins us now.
What's the status, sir?
Sean, great to be on.
Yeah, I mean, we've been out there fighting, trying to get this administration to secure the border.
They obviously refuse to do it.
Americans have been in danger.
They've gotten killed.
We've got terrorist criminals on our streets.
And importantly, our elections are now subject to illegals being registered.
We know that.
Non-citizens being registered.
The evidence is right.
By the way, stop, pause for one second here.
There are states that When you get a license and they allow illegal immigrants to get legal driver's licenses, which automatically allows them to register to vote.
Is that correct, sir?
No, that is exactly right.
And in fact, federal law, the NBRA, encourages and requires states to use the welfare state to do that.
And so they're pushing through not only the DMV, but the Medicaid roles and other roles to force upon people forced registration.
And in fact, some people who have come here illegally or some non-citizens have been forced into that, have registered, didn't even know what they were doing.
And then later, it was, you know, then somebody came back and they tried to prosecute them for voting illegally.
And the person was like, I didn't even know I was doing it.
And I think they were genuinely true.
That's what's happening.
You've got these leftists, these radical progressive Democrats who are doing this and using the system to try to do it.
know that's what they're doing and in fact and aren't there states like california that just mail out ballots to registered voters Yeah, absolutely.
There's people that do that, and they've got states that are removing this sort of automatic registration.
And importantly, you've got jurisdictions in California and Oakland, San Francisco, in New York, as well as the D.C. tried to do it.
We tried to step in as Congress, but that are registering people specifically, have programs to register people here illegally and non-citizens to register them for state and local elections.
And they say, oh, don't worry, they won't vote in federal elections because, quote, that's illegal.
That's false.
We know that's untrue.
So all we're trying to do is conform existing laws that it is, in fact, illegal for someone to vote who is a non-citizen in federal elections.
But right now, it's not possible for states or anybody to check citizenship.
So Arizona, for example, has two systems.
They have a state system and a federal system.
The state system, they check citizenship.
The federal system, they can't.
So we remove that barrier and we go one step further and we say that we are going to require that check for federal elections because we think the whole country needs to have a system that we can all believe in.
The bill's on the floor.
I just spoke on the floor literally two minutes ago.
I ran in here to the cloakroom to call you.
And we're debating the bill right now.
We'll vote on it today.
We hope that all Republicans will support it.
We're not very optimistic on Democrats, but we might pick off a few.
I was going to ask you, well, first of all, do you think you'll get every Republican?
Well, we hope so.
I mean, there's a few Republicans that will raise flags about federalism and other issues.
And we've been making very clear, look, you know me, Sean, you too.
We're ardent federalists.
We don't want to empower the federal government.
But this is a clear role under the elections clause of the Constitution for Congress for time, place, and manner of elections involving the House, Senate, and presidency.
And we're in charge of naturalization.
So we have the power here.
Most of my colleagues have been agreeing with that argument.
We've been making clear that we designed this intentionally to uphold against scrutiny in courts that it's not an undue burden for voting, that citizens will be able to vote.
We provide mechanisms and ways for states to do it and balance the interests of security and enforcing citizenship while making sure that the average American citizen is not too encumbered to vote.
And we think we've done that.
Can you explain to me why any Democrat would be against this, why they would be against voter ID or signature verification or updated voter rolls or any of the other integrity measures I mentioned?
Well, unfortunately, the vast majority, not all, but the vast majority and most of our Democratic colleagues and certainly this administration, they don't believe in sovereignty.
They don't believe in citizenship.
They believe in a kind of global order and global governments and global organizations.
They think anybody should be able to come here.
And to the extent they try to pretend, because 81 to 85% of Americans, including Democrats, believe that we should have only citizens vote, they will pretend that they care that.
They'll say, look, it's already illegal.
It's not happening.
And you're going to disenfranchise actual citizens.
And that's what they're going to hide behind.
I think it's political.
The administration has leaned into it that way.
They're trying to make it a race issue.
They're also trying to hide behind the fact or hide the fact that they have been allowing our borders to be wide open and that they're pushing out registration to try to build their constituencies or who they believe are theirs.
What does the race issue aspect have to do with it?
This is about the rule of law issue.
I mean, why do we have laws and why are these lawmakers against enforcing the laws of the land?
Why are they so comfortable?
Look, I can only imagine that the only reason they don't want these integrity measures is because they have some nefarious intentions.
Do you have any idea what they might be?
Well, we certainly know.
I mean, in fact, we've had, you know, our own colleagues have said they want to encourage illegals to register so they can get more voters in their districts, right?
They want to pack them for purposes of the census and ensuring that they have districts and for representation in Congress.
We know this, right?
They also are trying to do it.
The race issue that you raised, they want to create a division and say that we're trying to suppress black votes, poor votes, that kind of thing.
It's their normal class and race warfare because they don't have anything else to sell.
But the truth is, when you have people here voting illegally, you actually harm American citizen voters.
And in particular, you're going to harm some of the people in our country who are struggling the most when their vote is watered down and diluted by people who are coming here illegally.
So we think this is good for all Americans, the rule of law.
And look, this is important as we watch what's happening with the 25th Amendment debate.
You've got the vice president of the United States who is effectively a DEI vice president, right?
We know this.
They said so.
Biden announced it.
He said, I'm going to pick a minority woman for the vice president.
He didn't do what Donald Trump would do, what you would do, what I would do, which is say, I want to pick the best vice president.
I want to pick the best Secretary of Defense or whatever.
And then go pick somebody.
And if they're a female, if they're black, if they're white, if they're, you know, whatever, fine.
We didn't really care.
But they want to make it a DEI issue.
They're trying to do that.
That's what this is about.
They want to divvy us up our race, and they want to use this to try to divide us rather than to secure the country.
It really is unbelievable.
What do you make of the great Joe Biden cognitive decline lying and covering up that has gone on by members of your body and by the media mob?
I've been chronicling Joe Biden's cognitive decline since before the last election.
There's no way they didn't see it.
There's no way they don't see it now.
Now, apparently in caucus yesterday, there was a strong defense of Biden by the Congressional Black Caucus and by the squad and AOC and company.
And certainly Joe was able to get through that 15-minute long speech yesterday before the leaders of NATO, so I guess he's bought himself some time.
Privately, what's going on behind the scenes?
Well, I mean, most of this is just kind of unfolding in the same way you just described it.
We're learning as we go.
I mean, frankly, he's, you know, they protected him from engaging with us for the most part.
We've known that he had cognitive decline.
We could see him in the chamber at the State of the Union and those kinds of things.
But, man, what happened to the debate two weeks ago, I think two weeks ago tomorrow, that showed to the entire world the state of his mental capacity and ability.
He has no business having the nuclear codes or being in charge, commander-in-chief.
You saw, I think it was Ducey who asked the question over at the White House yesterday saying, hey, well, so what happens if he gets a call at 11 p.m. or after 8 p.m., right?
Apparently, he's only cognizant between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
And their answer was, the press secretary said, well, there's a good group of people who are around him who would come advise him.
And look, we all have advisors if you're in elected office, but you're the commander-in-chief.
Like, we don't have a president by committee.
What if he has to stay up for 24 straight hours or 36 or 48 hours in a real crisis?
What happens then?
Are you going to nap?
We know what happens then.
And to your point, they've been covering it up.
Okay.
Joe Biden has been covering it up.
Kamala Harris, covering it up.
The entire White House regime around the chief of staff and the staff in the White House covering it up.
Democratic colleagues in Congress covering it up.
And importantly, the media covering it up.
And now, the only reason they care, the only reason they care, is the election.
They're now scared to death.
They're panicking that Donald Trump is going to do what he's going to do, which is mop the floor with Joe Biden.
I think Joe Biden's going to be the president.
I don't think they can go to Kamala Harris.
You mean you think he's going to be the nominee?
Yeah, I think she's complicit in the do you think it's because I would argue that the Congressional Black Caucus and the squad are two powerful, influential groups within the Democratic Party.
Am I wrong?
No, I think that's right.
I mean, I do think that they want to continue to push it, but they're panicking.
I mean, they're divided, right?
I mean, when they walk out, some of their most liberal members won't even commit.
Nancy Pelosi today wouldn't fully commit, right?
That's a big deal.
You got George Clooney and all these people that are chirping from the outside.
I don't know why he's important, but apparently he is.
And they're all divided.
And the fact is...
I think he was doing the bidding of Obama, but go ahead.
Well, that might be right.
And I look, and we'll see what happens.
I know some people question it and they'll say, and look, and it's a reasonable question.
Chip, why would you file a resolution?
Let them continue to burn.
Well, here's the reason I filed the resolution.
A, it's right.
By the way, this is the 25th Amendment, which I think I wish you didn't file, but go ahead.
No, that's okay, and that's fair.
But let me explain.
I filed it because, A, it's the right thing to do.
He's the commander-in-chief for the next 200 days.
He's not capable, as we've just described.
B, I think President Trump will defeat him or Kamala Harris soundly either way.
C, and most importantly, they're not going to listen to me or any other Republican.
If they do it, she alone can pull the trigger.
I can do nothing.
Congress can do nothing.
Kamala Harris is the only one, unless Joe Biden resigns, which he could do.
Kamala Harris is the only one who could invoke the 25th Amendment, and then she would do it with the cabinet.
And then if Joe Biden argued against it, it would then come to Congress.
The fact is, I wanted to make clear, we all know what the truth is.
They won't do it.
If they do it, Sean, it'll be in spite of Chip Roy out here.
Well, let me ask you this.
Do you think they're waiting for him to get the nomination and then bail out because then the monies are according to federal election regulations and financial regulations that he can then more easily transfer the funds on hand over to the next person?
Is he waiting for that?
That could be.
I mean, look, I've always thought that all of this was academic on the 25th Amendment, that the point was that that exists for a reason, and that reason is something we're seeing right now.
So I felt incumbent upon us to be intellectually honest and say, yeah, of course that's what.
Is any Democrat going to vote with you?
No, I don't even think we're going to bring it up for a vote, probably, Sean.
I put it out there like there's 10,000 bills.
We've only voted on, you know, a couple hundred of them.
But I put it out there to make a strong position that we're recognizing what everybody in America knows.
He is not capable of carrying out the powers and duties of the office.
The only question is whether the vice president will act on it.
And she won't because she's complicit in the cover-up.
If anything happens, it will be because they convinced Joe Biden to resign or to otherwise step aside in a way that will allow them to rally around a candidate.
They're in a box.
We should continue to focus on our policies on Donald Trump.
Next week, we'll talk about the platform, all of the great things in the platform, the stuff that they're going to be talking about next week when the president's on the stage, talking about our ideas, reducing inflation, securing the border, making sure we're not trapped in endless wars, but we're still strong abroad.
All of the things that we will do to save the country and take it back.
We'll talk about those.
We'll win, but they're in disarray and we should keep stoking the flames because he's clearly not competent.
Congressman Chip Roy of Texas, always a pleasure.
Thank you, my friend, for your good work.
We appreciate it.
God bless, Sean.
Take care.
All right, quick break.
Right back.
We'll continue.

This is pretty interesting.
If you've been listening, you know, remember, just weeks before this debate, what were we hearing?
Cheap, fake videos.
They weren't cheap.
They weren't fake.
They were authentic.
They weren't edited.
They were real.
And the media mob went along with the talking point of the Biden White House, and they just basically were flat out lying and telling you, don't believe what your eyes are seeing.
That was how deep that lie was going.
You know, here's Democrats talking about how Biden is the sharpest person in our party.
Just like they said, you know, he gets more done in an hour than most people do in a day.
Yeah, I don't believe that either.
Listen.
President Biden is absolutely fit.
He has knowledge of the issues.
He has strategic thinking about legislating all in the head.
I have spoken with the president.
He is fully coherent.
He is on top of details.
He's sharp.
He's fit.
He's always answering questions.
I think that Joe Biden's mental acuity is very, very on.
He's one of the smartest, sharpest people I've met in D.C. There's no doubt in my mind that the president is mentally fit for office.
Joe Biden rightly says that he has grown very wise in his many decades in public office.
As it stands today, you believe that President Biden is clear, candid, and convincing.
100%.
Joe Biden needs to be allowed to beat Joe Biden.
He is energizing.
He cares about issues.
He's Joe Biden.
And Joe Biden, there's nobody better than Joe Biden.
We see Joe Biden.
Plus, we know how attuned he is to the issues, how informed he is.
And I debate with him about legislation, not debate, but discuss it with him.
He's right there.
I strongly support President Biden.
He has an incredible track record of success and accomplishments.
He puts many of us to shame with his energy.
Clearly, this president is fit to serve.
Joe Biden has vision.
He has knowledge.
He has a strategic thinker.
This is a very sharp president.
And nobody is better equipped to do that than Joe Biden.
He has the experience.
He has the wisdom.
He has the demeanor.
I was in Israel on October 7th, as you know, and President Biden was nice enough to call me.
And I can tell you, this was the day before that interview.
I can tell you he was sharper than anyone I've spoken to.
It always seemed very clear to me that he had the energy and the ability.
Is he capable of being a president?
Absolutely.
I think he's actually really good.
I think his staff overprotects him.
I think put him out there in a press conference.
Who cares if someone makes a gaffe?
What I find interesting is that the issue is more around ageism and ableism and not what this president, President Biden has done.
I think he has every ability and every confidence to continue to be commander-in-chief.
I think the more he's out there, the better.
President Biden has proven himself to have a strong memory.
You don't do that unless you're mentally competent and capable, and he certainly is.
The political coverage of the looks on some of the political players and some of the let me ask a rhetorical question Okay.
That's the guy that is so the sharpest person in the room.
I really feel sorry for our friends at the View.
I mean, Whoopi Goldberg really stepped in it, literally.
I don't care if he poops his pants.
Listen.
I don't care if he's pooped his pants.
I don't care if he can't put a sentence together.
Show me he can't do the job.
And then I'll say, okay, maybe it's time to go.
Now, he had a bad night the first time that he went out and debated with Kamala Harris.
And everybody wanted him to quit then.
So you can't talk to women like this.
Are you doing this wrong?
You're doing that wrong.
He came back, said, you know what, I got it.
And gave four years.
Now, I'm not running the world, but I don't know anybody who doesn't step in stuff at some point.
So I'm just simply saying, yeah, there are two debates.
And if he can't do what he needs to do for the second debate, I'll join any crew that says get rid of him.
Wow.
Really, Whoopee?
What's happened to you?
I've known you for years.
What has happened to Whoopi Goldberg?
And then there's joyless Behar.
She's tired of all this Biden bashing.
I was watching television all week, and I'm a little tired of all the Biden bashing that's going on.
I'm pissed off at it, frankly.
There's a lot of Biden bashing going on, and no calls for the sexually abusive felon to step down.
That's actually not hello.
Oh, come on.
I don't see anybody in the right wing telling truth.
I've been knowing for four years.
I testified against him.
The fact that the public decided not to agree with it, I can't help, but there are so many people who have said he's a bad person.
What Republican is asking that he step down?
Tell me.
There's a bunch of disadfrances.
I'm seguing right into that.
And wait, I'm not finished.
Well, let's go back to the debate for a second.
All right.
Everybody keeps calling it a disaster, a disaster.
You know why Trump was better at it?
Because he lies.
He practiced his lies for two or three years already.
That guy, all he did was screw lies that we've heard over and over and over again.
Uh-huh.
And then she claims men don't like Kamala because they fear a funny woman, our giggling vice president, especially in bed.
Listen.
What really ticks me off about him, though, is this laughing Kamala remark.
It's such a sexist remark because a guy I was with over the weekend, a friend of mine, they said Kamala's laugh annoys me.
Remember they said that about Hillary's laugh that she was cackling.
And men, you know, they don't like a funny woman.
We're afraid if you laugh or you make a joke that maybe you'll do that when they're in bed with you.
It's like this fear, this fear of women's laughing and comedy.
Men don't like Kamala because they fear a funny woman, especially in bed.
Oh, I look at Kamala Harris.
I think, oh, she's a regular riot.
Listen.
Do you plan to visit the border?
Not today.
More parents are seeing the value of educators when they had to bring their kids and say, we're not paying them nearly enough.
I'm kind of a geek.
So to that extent, one of the things I love are Venn diagrams.
Since taking office, the president and I have made an incredible investment, the largest investment ever, to take on the climate crisis.
Roughly a trillion dollars with a T.
I had to.
That's right.
Men don't like Kamala because they fear a funny woman, especially in bed.
That's what they'll have you believe.
Sacramento City Attorney reportedly threatened to fine target stores.
Why?
Because they're reporting theft crimes.
Their legal department threatened to fine a popular retail store for public nuisance after numerous calls to police after thieves stole from their land park location multiple times, according to the report.
Wow.
We're going to blame the victims of crime now and hold them legally accountable.
Can things get any more twisted?
Even Andrew Cuomo slamming Alvin Bragg for letting Columbia protesters walk, just like he slammed him for the selective prosecution of Donald Trump.
One sad thing, a teenage suspect shot by U.S. Marshals Friday after allegedly attempting to carjack Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's federal bodyguards outside her home.
I mean, that's sad.
Biden's director of national intelligence is warning that Iran is funding pro-Palestinian protesters here in the U.S. You're going to love this story, Linda.
Duke Medical School is claiming that timeliness, individualism is part of white supremacy culture.
They claim white supremacy culture to expect people of color to be on time in a strategic plan for creating an anti-racist workforce.
The medical school said its goal is to catalyze anti-racist practice through education.
I mean, you can't make it.
I want to know.
Here's what I want to know.
Okay.
What do you want to know?
Can I help you?
What would you like to do?
I got to go to the hospital.
I have a scheduled surgery.
I have to be there at 7 a.m.
But my doctor, who is a minority.
By the way, this is hypothetical.
This is hypothetical.
I am not going to the hospital.
I will never go to the hospital.
I don't trust doctors.
I'd rather die in the forest.
Moving right along.
Anywho.
So, well, actually, that's not.
If you needed stitches.
I've never had stitches.
God bless.
I've never broken a bone.
I've broken all my toes.
If you break a bone and you need it checked out or you have stitches.
I would only go.
I have friends.
I would only go to Dr. Scott Barber for anything orthopedic or bone related.
I would go to Dr. Tyson or Dr. George Farid, and I'm already signed up and a member of their practices, and I'm a patient.
Or Dr. Josh Umber for Conncierge Medicine.
That's it.
Everybody else, forget about it.
The problem is the two doctors in the middle you mentioned, George Farid and Mike Tyson, they're in California.
Brian Tyson.
Mike Tyson would just keep the crap out of me, which could also work from time to time.
Brian Tyson, I apologize.
Josh Umber is in Wichita, Kansas.
Right, but they're not.
They all have online practices now, and Scott's in Georgia.
But see, the cool thing about it is that, you know, through COVID, the only positive.
Well, where are you going to get the x-ray or the MRI?
You can go to any MRI center.
Okay, so you would go to a facility, but you wouldn't.
You can go to a facility, but they're not cutting me open or setting anything or doing anything.
If you need four or five stitches for crying out loud, it's not going to be a problem.
Well, they're not going to be on time anyway.
I'm going to get there at 7.
They're going to get there at 12.30 after they've had a nice long brunch.
And they're going to arrive and say, you're not allowed to say anything to me.
It's racist.
I needed a tooth pulled not that long ago.
And I went up to a dentist I'd never met before.
Guy was awesome.
Him and his partner.
They let me make an early morning appointment.
They even came in early as a favor.
I said I needed it done so I could do radio and TV.
And I had my teeth pulled, my tooth pulled.
Yanked it right out.
Put a couple of stitches in.
I walked out.
That was the end of that.
But was he on time?
They were on time, yeah.
Because now the rule is, is that you haven't gotten to the point of the time.
But the question is, was I on time?
And the answer is I actually was on time, which is rare for me.
That actually is rare for you.
But I mean, you know, Biden and his whole group, they can turn anything into a conversation about color, about race, whatever it is.
It's so absurd and so ridiculous.
I honestly, I just don't, I don't understand how being on time translates to being racist.
Just be on time, no matter what color you are.
I don't care.
It's ridiculous.
Listen, what are we supposed to teach our children about being timely and getting to work on time?
Like, for example, there's no, anybody on this show, if you're not showing up on time and you're not staying the right amount of time, you're not going to make it.
And it's not that I'm mean.
Well, imagine if you texted and you're like, hey, guys, I really want this story for the show.
Can you get this up?
And four hours later, your show has been broadcast.
You're off the air.
And I'm like, hey, I'll get right on that.
How does that help anybody?
I mean, any job has time constraints.
Very, very rare.
I can count on one hand over the many years where I've contacted you at any hour, day and night that you've not gotten back to me.
No, it's absurd.
And let me tell you something else.
This is one of these gaslighting things.
This is them, you know, shining ball.
Let's talk about this over here while 10 million illegals come in to vote illegally in our federal elections.
You know, like it's just a, it's interesting jury.
According to Duke Medical School, you know, I'm part of white supremacy culture.
That's how absurd it is.
And meanwhile, I just, we have high expectations of people that work on this show.
I spoke with a guy yesterday who's a very interesting guy.
And he's, he works in a, in a high-end resort, in the high-end resort business.
And he's done it for many, many years.
Yeah, our backgrounds were so similar, it was scary.
He was a paperboy, a dishwasher at the same age I was.
It was crazy.
And what was fascinating about it is for every one person that he hires, he goes through at least 12 to 14 applicants.
Any one person.
And he said it has nothing to do with their skill set.
It has everything to do with their attitude.
Everything.
And if you're willing to go the extra mile.
Problem is now we can't get people off their couches because they're so used to the COVID coma where they were allowed to sit home and collect a check.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
