Chip Roy RIPS into Speaker Johnson's 'garbage' spending deal

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have finally come to an agreement on the next budget spending bill.

But Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is furious, despite Johnson touting the agreement as a way to cut back on spending while avoiding a government shutdown.

Roy tells Glenn Beck that the bill will “hammer the American people” and that while Johnson is the new speaker, he’s simply representing “the same garbage.”

The bill is $1.66 trillion, which is nearly $60 billion more than Nancy Pelosi’s last spending bill and $100 billion more than is needed.

Meanwhile, the bill doesn’t address the border crisis at all.

“Republicans are going to go try to sell you and the American people that that’s somehow a win. Don’t believe them,” Roy says.

“I was asked to eat a National Defense Authorization Act which got rid of almost all of our policy changes we put in our version and then extended FISA over 16 months so we can have a government continue to spy on the American people, and now I’m being asked to accept this ridiculous spending deal with no real border security measures,” Roy continues.

While the deal is financially devastating, Roy is slightly more concerned about the lack of attention given to the border crisis.

“In my view, they’re actually both important, but I will take border security first,” he tells Glenn.

“Me too,” Glenn says firmly.
