So there is a September 30 deadline coming up to reach an agreement on spending.

Republicans always talk about how the Department of Justice has been weaponized against

conservatives, how the Department of Homeland Security is not doing its job,

and it's basic function of defending the country, defending or southern border,

defending or border. So why fund these agencies that are either abusing power or not

doing their duty? That's the question that Congressman Chip Roy is asking as he encourages his

fellow Republicans to take up this fight to not fund these agencies and to stand up for what

they believe, or at least what they've been saying they believe, makes sense. So we're going to

talk to Congressman Chip Roy about that. We're also going to get his take on Merrick Garland,

naming David Weiss as a special counsel. Why now? What does this mean? And what should Republicans

do about it? We'll also talk to him about the latest Trump indictment. You know, what are they

trying to do with it? Is it to harm him or or boost him? All of that and more with Congressman

Chip Roy from Texas. Well, Congressman, it's always an honor to have you on the show. We're

approaching the September 30 timeline to reach an agreement on spending. This always happens with

Congress. They wait to the last minute. What should the priorities be for Republicans?

Well, first of all, good to be on as always. And look, if it were my play call, we would not be

in our districts, but rather we would be in Washington. We set out and, you know, all said and

agreed that we were going to pass appropriations bills. And that's what we ought to be doing. And

in the absence of being able to get agreement on the appropriations bills before July or

certainly most of them, then we ought to be back in DC. But, you know, we're not and we're probably

going to be in our districts for a few more weeks and then back in September. And so almost

certainly it's going to be difficult to get appropriations bills passed in September.
