Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy warned that GOP lawmakers are working behind the scenes to derail President-elect Donald Trump‘s MAGA agenda. Roy told Todd Starnes during an interview that GOP lawmakers are already making excuses for not fully embracing Trump’s policies.

He also warned that unless significant pressure is applied from the Trump camp, the quiet resistance to Trump forming within his party will persist. “I think that Republicans in Congress are gonna give lip service to backing the president’s agenda and behind the scenes they’re going to be stonewalling it unless some of us can kick them right in the rear end and make them deliver,” Roy said.

“That’s my blunt assessment. Truth is, you’re already hearing excuses. Well, we don’t have 60 votes in the Senate,” he said. “You’re already hearing some of my colleagues say, ‘Well, we can’t do, you know, broad mass deportations,’ which by the way I think effectively just call it what it is, repatriation.”

Roy highlighted recent legislative actions which he claims would immediately bankrupt important programs. “You can’t just write another blank check. They just voted for $200 billion to re-shift Social Security funding from some people to others, which will cause their security to be bankrupt six months earlier,” Roy told Starnes.

“This is the natural way of things for Republicans in Washington. They need to understand they will change their ways or they will lose power. That’s it. I’m gonna be on the side of change. I’m gonna be on the side of disrupting the status quo.”

The U.S. House of Representatives approved the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act, which aims to abolish outdated rules that diminish benefits for public sector workers. The bill now advances to the Senate with substantial bipartisan backing. If enacted, will incur an estimated cost of $196 billion over 10 years.

While Roy said he supported a substantial faction within the party eager to advance Trump’s policies, he warned, “There’s a large block here who want to do it, and I think some people here in this conference are in for a rude awakening.”

Roy also cited broader frustrations with federal funding practices, noting his discontent with taxpayer money supporting National Public Radio (NPR) through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

“I own a news talk radio station in Memphis, Tennessee. One of the things that angers me is the money I earn from my private business goes to fund competition across the street over at NPR, and I would love, I’ve already sent a message to Elon and Vivek, I would love for them to just dismantle the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting,” Roy said.

Earlier this month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy unveiled their strategy for the newly proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for cuts to federal regulations and staffing.
