Chip Roy talks about $1.7 trillion monstrosity bill
- last year
Chip Roy: "Well, good evening, Sean. Merry Christmas.Great to be on.And look where to begin in terms of our concerns about this bill. $1.7 trillion.4100 pages dropped on us.You got a day to look at it, a day to pour over.And as you said, all of our staffs were digging through it. My staff.We went through it.Notably, there is actual language in the bill that prohibits the use of the funding for the Border Patrol, for the Homeland Security to be used By Border Patrol to secure the border.Yet you have 18 Republican senators who go ahead and say, yeah, I'm going to side with Democrats.I'm going to vote for this lousy bill that's going to hamstring our ability to use the power of the purse, to demand that Biden secure the border and deal that crisis and ignore the fact that they're actually hamstring them further.
But it goes beyond that.It's not just the 7500 earmarks, the $16 billion, the $670,000,000 in earmarks For Richard Shelby as he's walking out the door, the senior Senate Republican appropriator.It's the fact that you're giving more money to the tyrants at the FBI.They get a brand new headquarters, $400 million.You're giving more money to the NIH that Jay Battacharya just told you is absolutely foolish.He was actually put on a blacklist by bigtech and we're going to give more money to the FBI, who is targeting big tech and going after and censoring people like Jay Bhattacharya.Why would we do that in the an important question.Why would 18 Republican senators do that and stick it to the House Republican majority after the American people gave us the majority?"
