Here's what actually defeated the atrocious ‘border’ bill

The war bill that the Senate tried to pass off as a “border” bill has been defeated — and it’s all thanks to conservatives around the country.

“We collectively — the big, royal 'we' — killed the border non-security part of that bill,” Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts tells Glenn Beck.

And it’s all thanks to conservatives around the country who have awakened to the reality that our government is not acting in the people’s best interest — and taken action.

“What I have been saying for the last 24 hours, Glenn, to friends around the country, is, 'Guys, this is an example of the good things that happen when we wake up,'” he adds, noting that “we have to stay engaged.”

One of the ways to stay engaged is to clear the Senate of the people who aren’t doing the right thing.

“I don’t know how you feel about McConnell,” Glenn tells Roberts, “but I think he’s got to go.”

“Politically, he’s the icon of everything that’s wrong in Washington because what’s wrong in Washington — and it’s connected to the World Economic Forum, as you know — is that these people decide, just a handful of people, they’re going to tell us what’s best for us, and they demand that we eat it,” Roberts says.

“I actually think this defeat yesterday of this bill shows that there is, politically speaking, blood in the water, that his leadership is really weakened,” he adds.

Roberts believes this might precede a retirement announcement for McConnell.

“Thankfully, as you know,” he tells Glenn, “there are a number of good potential replacements who would fix the problem.”
