Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of the Chicks on the Right podcast.
We are delighted today to have with us Tim Birchett,
representative from Tennessee's second Congressional district. Prior to that, he
was a mayor of Tennessee Town. And today, mister Burchett,
you're getting a whole lot of popularity for your car,
heart wearing, dad gum droppin' unfiltered sort of straight talking
Tennessee swagger. And by the way, we have a four
dad gum minimum on this program to hold you to that. Okay,
we got a lot of stuff that we want to
ask you about, and I'm sure you've got stuff that
you want to talk about. One of the things that
we see from you on social media a lot is
your frustration, which we get of just the bureaucracy and
the red tape and the inefficiency of government, which makes
us want to ask you because you're so close to it,
the things that doge uncovered and is trying to get fixed. Like,
do we as regular pleabs have any hope of feeling
some improvement?
Speaker 2: I think we do. But the problem you got is
is that every time we find a way to save it,
somebody finds a way to spend it. I remember if
I was in the state legislature in Tennessee, set next
to a Democrat buddy of mine, and he and I
had a bill and stayed five million dollars. That was huge,
And I remembered he says, man, it's a great bill,
and he said, this really and it really was a
savings of five million dollars. And he goes, I know
just where I want to spend that. Oh, you know,
and that's government, that's both parties. You know, we were
talking about saving billions of dollars. Man, We run up
at trillion dollars every hundred days in debt seven years
outside of the military, which is a disaster in its
o hone spending the war camps over there. We you know,
the largest, the largest single item will be interest. I
we might as well in knoxt Tennessee, might as well
just drive down Kingston Pike and my daughter's duly pick
up and just shovel one hundred dollar bills that game thing.
And that's that's kind of where we're at. And we
got we gotta, we gotta start doing better. I mean, Republicans,
you know, these so called fiscal giant you know, they
go home, they go to through Lincoln Day and now
they're Magga Day or Reagan Day or whatever you want
to call it. And I go to these dad gam things.
I go to them all over the state of Tennessee.
And uh, there's Matt Gates calling me. Let me tell hey, Matt, Hey,
I'm on Chicks on the Right podcast right now, and
they're and hang on and they said, tell you hello.
I got you on speakers, say hello, Matt oh Man,
So you thought you were starting? Yeah, I thought I
was on the view and that I didn't get six
wind bags out here yelling at me. My god, people
agree with I need to call you back, brother, I'm sorry,
Can I call you back? I love you, buddy, loved
you in your Mike.
Speaker 1: That was awesome interview.
Speaker 2: Cinars got an exclusive area of Tennessee over middle to
this his passway talking to a group of ladies and
dad come, Lona calls me, and I was like Luna,
and she always says, what's up, merchant? And then I
had her because I'm old and I've got these crazy
hearing aids, and I got as I call I'm on
the Blue Tooth, and it's like I'm on, you know,
on some drug or something. And so I said, I said,
you know, I keep looking at myself because I'm so captivating.
I think that's that's really good looking and realizes to me,
and Lona's talking to me. I said, wait, man, say
that again, Lona, And I put her on the speaker
and she goes, what's up, merchant? And that's because she
always she always does her cameos in my videos, you know,
walking off the steps And anyway, what the hell were
not talking about?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 3: You were talking about Joe's you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you to talk to him?
Speaker 3: Is he nice guy?
Speaker 2: Elon's the game? I mean, I did what he's doing.
But we just don't have the guts to do it. Man. Right,
we're putting this in the law. Even the good old
boys back in Tennessee say, hey, Tim, what are you
all going to start codifying that stuff? Yeah? And they're right,
we got to start. And and I get it. Leadership
wants to put it in one beautiful big bill, you
know and all that. But you know what is in
that one beautiful big bill. What scared, you know, is
things that maybe shouldn't be so anyway, I don't want
to know all that. But yeah, I think we need to
we need to push that. We go home. That's what
I was going to say. I know where I got that,
and then Matt called me rudely interrupted me. Now we
go we go home, we preach the gospel, all the
red meat, and then we come back up here and
we sell y'all down the road.
Speaker 3: Right, it's hot. It's a hot take, and it's a
trade off.
Speaker 2: It is crooked. We are crooked as a dog's leg.
All right, we we we uh, We'll pass a tough
bill and then the Senate will pass a tougher bill.
But guess what. They don't line up and they both,
oh the Senate, all that terrible house, in that house,
all that terrible Senate, and then leadership they go off
and drink wine at Kenney bunk Board or something. I
don't know, but that's the way it works. They're selling
us down the river. America needs to wake up. This
is not a swamp. I hate it when people say
this is a swamp because the reality is a swamp
is something God created and it's actually pretty cool. Swamp
is an ecosystem. Animals thrive there. It actually filters water,
the cattails, they pull out heavy metals. I mean, it's
a cool thing. And this is a sewer. This is
a god created a swamp man created a sewer. And
the reason sewers stink is something called getting a little
science here. Don't you think I'm educated? But yeah, you
get a sulfur smell from sewers because of what's called
anaerobic decomposition. And that means there's no oxygen and there's
no sunlight and it just and that's what the bacteria
forms in that. And that's what Washington d C. Is.
There is no sunlight up, there is no oxygen because
you've got a few people in control. And dad gum it,
when when people see this, I know what's going to happen.
Leadership is going to come see me on the house.
Before they this a while back and they said, Tim Man,
you can't keep saying that stuff. I said, you mean
that we're crooked, and that you know the move is
the party system. You have to raise money. It has
nothing really to do with your ability, and that and
that people were we won't need fund a lot of
these things because people's wives and or girlfriends, maybe both
of them work on some of these agencies and both
parties do it. I said, you mean that and he
goes yeah, and he said back and I said, well
it's the truth though, right and he goes, well, yeah,
it's the truth. You just got to quit saying it.
And that's that's what we're up against in America needs
to wake the heck up and start.
Speaker 1: Okay, but we're we're awake, So what are we supposed
to do about it?
Speaker 3: You're the one that's there, like, how do we make
how do we make that? From here?
Speaker 2: Brust our asshold is accountable, and every dad gun vote
and say why do you vote for that? Why is
that that way? Why are you doing that? And and
and something else we need to do honestly. We need
to eliminate individual stock trade. We need to own a
mutual fund. My buddy, Tommy Siler and Knoxville manages my
eleven thousand dollars portfolio. It's, you know, mutual when when
that that that that? What's that whales thing called the
unusual whales? I'm looking over here and he don't know.
I don't know anyway. My press guy, he's new. He
doesn't know how to get me just yet.
Speaker 3: Ready, just quit? He just quit him. He's done, he's gone.
Speaker 2: On campus everything that you know, and they print out
these things and just show the top one hundred and
I'm and my wife always looks at and goes, honey,
we need to get a new stock recer. We got
to get you at least in the top hundred of stock.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta start. You gotta start following Nancy Pelosi
like a lot of like.
Speaker 2: Not even she's not even number one. I mean, yeah,
it's it's it's it's pretty bad when she's making two
or three hundred percent return.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you how it works. Let me tell
you how it works. All right, y'all know I didn't
vote for them over a one red cent for Ukraine.
I think when Zelenski said, you know, he doesn't know
where at least one hundred million dollars of that of
our two one hundred and fifty I mean one hundred
billion of our two hundred and fifty billion that we
sent over there. I an't voted for penty of it.
But when that deal went down and Joe Biden gave
them our missile defense system, well we had to replenish ours,
which we should we can't be left neck and we
can't air cover. We got to have it. So what
ends up happening is is that lo and behold, we
have to it's a no bid contract for our missile
defense company, and that we had a multi billion dollar
and guess who owned stock in that members come and
some of them actually bought that stock weeks prior. So
there's there's no reason to trust us either party on
those kind of issues. Need to force those issues. And
another thing you ought to do that gumm, it is
single issue spending bill for single issue spending bill. Yes, yes, oh,
we're going to vote. This is for feeding starving children.
And you know, like two dollars in there for feeding
in a billion in for some mng O. So right,
you know, I mean, do you honestly think we're spending
ten million dollars on circumcisions in Madagascar? I mean, obviously
you're probably voluntary, but still ten million dollars. It ain't
getting there, and some of course not. And Elon Musk
even said, and I caught him, mister Messy's to come, Alon,
He said, Tim, there's a circuitous route and it goes
right back to Congress. And I agree with him. And
now that it's change, nothing change until one of these
caps is led out of here in hancuff. And I
don't hear which party, and if it's in our party,
I say, bust them right now.
Speaker 3: Well, we hope somebody, we hope somebody is going to
make that happen. That would be great if we could
see that. On what do you what do you think
about the tariffs? What is your stance on the Trump terroffs.
Speaker 2: I think Trump went let's look at China first. Trump
went with China first, and he went big, he went bold.
And the reason Trump did that is for why and
members of Congress are already filing bills, Republicans and Democrats,
you know, to take that control back from Trump. And
the reason he did that is because the reason we're
in such a bind with China because Congress sold us out.
They sold us out with the lobbyists. They there's no
reason in the world the Chinese get this. They owned
property around our military instillation. Yeah, we've allowed them to
buy farm land.
Speaker 3: Yeap, around where I live.
Speaker 2: That's bad news. And this is the one that I
find most egregious that nobody's really paying attention to they
owned some of the commissaries in our military installation.
Speaker 3: Oh what what's that?
Speaker 2: Dude does that? I mean, they're gonna know what we
bought a stick of gum. No, you run that credit card.
They're gonna go, oh, that's a lieutenant colonel, he flies
a f whatever. And they're going to know our true movements.
They're going to know our military installations where they are.
And this is the kind of And they're in our
learning institutions, they're in our research institutions, and they'll tell you,
oh no, they're not in the classified stuff. They're in
the stuff over here. And I'm losing my I'm losing.
Speaker 3: My You got to do the deal. You got to
do the deal.
Speaker 2: Don't tell my wife either.
Speaker 3: We want your secret safe. But nobody watches the show
your body does. It's fine to people watch.
Speaker 2: When he's not. When I was mayor and Knox County staff,
he's was my press guy and he a chief stuff
up here. But he'd always have a saying he said,
you know, I've never had to tell anybody. What Tim
Burchett really meant to say was I'm going to tell
you so anyway. So it's you know, we are crooked.
Let's just be honest. But let's pass and make us
pass that dose. Dad gunna builds have a buildings. There
is no stop trading. I know my buddy Tip Roy
has one that's more bipartisan. You know, he's an attorney.
I'm sure it's a lot more pages. Mind is usually
about half a page of one Senate.
Speaker 3: Which is the way it should be, right, That's.
Speaker 2: The way I roll. Anyway, did you find me one dude?
Speaker 3: Oh? Thank you for that.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 3: That's gonna make that's going to make all the difference. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: So okay, this big beautiful bill there was like I
saw a clip of Mike Johnson saying that it's not
going to be on Trump's dusk until July.
Speaker 3: What are you guys doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's crazy. What just ran by me?
A glafier. I mean, this place is so freaking slow.
I've been wanting to do that for a long time.
I've been kind of working. When before I got in,
it was on our show Thank you you saw here live.
Let's talk a little bit more about the system, all right.
Mike Johnson's got I mean, he's got the world specked
up against him. First, of all, he's an honest guy.
And somebody said, what's the difference to him. I said,
he's honest and he doesn't cheat on his why And
somebody said that's a pretty low bar, and I said, well, hell,
you ain't been in Washington very long. It's a great bar.
And he's accountable, and he's a Christian and I get
all that, and I mean, you know, but Jesus didn't
ask him to leave the temple that gut me threw
him out and he and Mike realizes that to speaker Johnson,
I don't like that sounds. I knew him before he
was speak direct.
Speaker 3: I called you Tim, I'm sorry that was probably.
Speaker 2: I want you to call me Tim Congerston, some eighty
five year old guy that ain't heard the gun go off.
It's on the wall up here. He's got a staff.
Let's staff. That's what I want to talk to you about.
This is how stuff happens. I look at committees. I mean,
we're the Party of limited growth, limited government, big growth,
limited government. I look back at one of our committees.
We were doing a photo. You know, you do this
committee photo, and I don't know why. It's not like
I'm going to hang the dad gum thing up on
my wall. I don't get it, but they they're big
on pictures.
Speaker 1: Doc.
Speaker 2: Have you got a seventeen year old daughter, you know
I got, I got pictures of everything.
Speaker 3: You know, yes, totally.
Speaker 2: Horses everything, cats, dogs, We want.
Speaker 3: To hear about your donkeys, you know, given a minute.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so I look back and I start counting
the members, start counting as staff members. I mean, we
had close to fifty bad gone daft men fifty and
the Democrats had just as many. So and then you figure, oh, wait,
you don't have to have a crooked You don't have
to have a crooked commerceman or senator. You just need
a couple of staff members that control bill. How many
times have I heard a chairman say, you'll read about
this in my book. But how many times have I
heard a chairman say, oh, I couldn't do that, Jim
Staff just wouldn't allow it. Who did that? Right? That
is where the problem lies your staff members. You've got
some members, all them, the vast majority of them are
super patriotic young people. You got some that have been
around for a while, and you know they're the ones
you see in the movies. You know where they're you know,
it's not the president meeting with the lobbyist or whatever,
having the martini the staff.
Speaker 3: It's the wages.
Speaker 2: And they go on the codals and they go on
the trips and they get compromised. Let me tell you
how compromising works. It's pretty easy. There's a couple of
different men. There's one the old Russian trick called the honeypot.
You're in a you're in a town somewhere, maybe in overseas,
and they know what you're what you're into. And maybe
someone Eric.
Speaker 3: Swell do what I said, Eric Swawell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well that's that's old school. Come on, let
Jesse rob this train. All right, I'm gonna let me
get to this from Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, sir, I am. I went to University Tennessee
and Knoxville.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: Yes, you talk about I'm sorry, go ahead, I said,
you talk a Kingston Pike and I'm like, I know
exactly what he's talking about. I've been there on that
road strip.
Speaker 2: What was a big honk tonk on the strip when
you were there?
Speaker 3: Well, we used to go to the lap and the
library and the library was a really great bar that
you could call him your parents to be like, what
did you do tonight? You could say, I went to
the library and then it was a lot.
Speaker 2: One of my oldest friend in the world, Scott Davis
on the library.
Speaker 3: Serious, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: One of those he's one of my Well, tell him.
Speaker 3: That I made a lot of great memories in that place,
because yeah, great, probably.
Speaker 2: Lost some memories there too, exactly. And the Lap, of course,
everybody's been the world famous. The guy that owned the
Lap was a friend of mine, the older guy, and
he now owns a restaurant down there on Amory Road.
Speaker 3: It's changed a lot. Knoxvill has changed a lot over
the past twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 2: Yeahlin Avenue has gone as far as I'm yeah, anyway,
we'll get in that later anyway, But I digress. H
oh yeah, staff, So you get the honey pots. You know,
you get some good looking girl walks up and says
laughing at your jokes, and you buy her a drink
and next thing you know, you're in your motel room
with her naked. And then and then they got a
picture of you and they own your ass.
Speaker 3: Right, how often is that happening?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know the Russians, and they did so
much with the Russians. They called it honey pots. Yeah
you know, but anyway, let me let me finish here.
So I don't know how much of that happens now,
but I will tell you this. I was on a
podcast called The Bennie Show. Yeah you know, and Benny's
kind of a buddy of mine. He laughs at all
my jokes and gets tickled and says nice things about me.
But he and I talked about that, and people, oh
my gosh. When I told that story, people in Congress
just went ballistic. You know, Oh, I can't believe you
said that. Virtute. Okay, well, dude, if you're not messed
around on your wife or your girlfriend, you don't have
to worry about it. You know. They come to you
and you're getting ready to make a key boat and
then somebody whispers in your ear, hey, man, how you
going vote on this? I'm co for this thing. Man.
I really was sure against this. They said, no, I
can't do that. And then just say, hey, were you
in a motel room with a girl and Kaiwan or something?
And they go yeah, like, oh man, I don't want
that out. And then they say it won't get out there.
It just help us with this boat. Oh yeah, whatever
you want. Then they don't want to own you. They
just rent you and the other way they do that.
And what happened was I was on the Beni Show
and I talked about that. Oh I got blistered by
members of Congress. Did I can't believe you said that?
And again I said, if you're not doing it, don't
worry about it. Well, that week, a prostitution ring was
busted in Washington, DC. And guess who they were? Chinese?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: And they released it in the press. There was a
big splash one day and it said there are three
groups of people. There were influential Washingtonians. Government contract at
an elected official. The next week and you know the
where's the black book? Everybody wants the black book? Next
week the story disappeared. Well, anyway, if you get powerful people,
the checkbook comes out, and that's and they own your okay,
doing these jobs. You don't think that some multi billion
dollar corporation could not give some influential person's wife, daughter, son, whatever,
a consulting job, a no show consulting job, or you
know some quote and that's why the Democrats spought me
last week on the nng OS, the Non Governor Organization,
where I was trying to defund the Taliban. They wanted
to take the n g O portion out. We're given
the Taliban forty million dollars a week. We can talk
about that later in the show. But I've been working
on that over a year to get that out and
now I'm just embarrassing people is all I'm doing now
and ever. And I want you to know I'm not suicidal.
So if you'll find me for holes in the back
of my head, I did not commit myself.
Speaker 3: We know you are not. We absolutely know that.
Speaker 1: I have to ask, who is there any hope? Like,
because everything you're saying seems so doom and gloom, Like
what what do we what do regular Americans do with
this information besides drink well? Like, how are we supposed
to react to that?
Speaker 2: You pray? Ask God to save our country? Because I
mean literally it's almost demonic. I think that I got
people protesting me in Knoxville, Tennessee that want funding for
all I mean, you know, transgender shows and things like that.
People are going without food and of and Upper North
Carolina still they don't have electricity. I think they're getting
it hooked up now that Trump got in office. But
after a hurricane Helene, you know, I just we lose
track of things too, mam. It's moving so fast. Dose.
You know the government. President Trump puts these executive orders
in and I have a saying that Americans one their
pizzas in thirty minutes or left. Yeah, that's about our
dad gum attention span. Yeah, that's how we just move
on to the next train wreck. Oh, there's a shiny
object over there. When I was mayor of Knox County,
I used to say, there's going to be another wreck
on the interstate tomorrow, guys. And what that meant was,
you know, we're going to catch some heat today, but
tomorrow we're going to you know, there'll be something else,
one another wreck or anything. But that is our attention span,
and that's that's where we are as Americans. We've got
to stay focused. We've got this dose stuff. He's cut
electing honorable people. It's got to happen. It's got to
happen in both parts. The Democrats have been hijacked. I
mean it's almost a demonic force. In my opinion, some
of the things that they're you know, castrating little boys
right going down El Salvador to bring back a suspected
gang member who's actually was in trouble for beating his wife.
I mean, she's claiming it didn't happen, but there's some
pretty damning court events. And in our own state of Tennessee,
he was caught in a van or a vehicle all
in people that were obviously non Americans with an invalid
driver's license and live. Yeah, I apparently was told told
the Tennessee Highway, and I know the Tennessee Row. I
was a faith legislator for sixteen years and work closely
with them and legislation, and they're honorable men and women,
very patriotic, very straight laced kind of folk. And I
can guarantee that was be a real morale killer when
you had somebody you knew was illegal, you knew was
trafficking people, and they weren't allowed to follow the law.
Speaker 3: I'm believable.
Speaker 1: So you're not going to Old Salvador with some of
your Democrat colleagues.
Speaker 2: Well, actually, I'm on the l Salvador Caucus and the
president down there sent me a message. Matt Gates put
me on that caucus. It is weird because you know,
I like their no crime stuff. Apparently you like their
crimes down ninety something percent under this gap. I mean you,
if you got a if you if you're a gang member,
if you got it written on a tattoo, they believe
you really are and they will lock you up. Yeah,
but it's no nonsense down there. It's not America. I
get it.
Speaker 3: And uh, but it's worked. He's what he's done has
worked so far gone right.
Speaker 2: Black Memphis, Tennessee, ma'am. They've had a bunch of shootings
there in the last couple of weeks, and you know,
it's just it's just a wild town. And the sad
thing is all that you know, a lot of people
have left and then a lot of good people are
stuck there because they're not financially able to leave and
they're just at the mercy of these gangs and stuff.
And we've got to start addressing that.
Speaker 3: But so do you Is there, like, is there a
Democrat or or several Democrats in Congress that you like?
Are they all pretty much?
Speaker 2: You know? Right? Yeah, I'm in a black bars and
prayer group with Jesse Jackson's son Jonathan always hid my
donkeys and he gets a big kick out of it
in the field. One time we'll get him to knock
for im. We'll give me, Hey, put those peppermints in
your pocket and walk out there the donkeys, you know,
and yeah, you don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: We love the documentary.
Speaker 2: Pasi Mafumi, that's a name I think he used to
end up the NAACP. I'm working with him on some
stuff on Africa. I'm worried about the Chinese communists taking
over Africa, and God puts this stuff on my heart.
It's not a it's not gonna help me politically. Nobody
I'm going to vote for me because of this stuff.
But we have we have programs that we're we're we're
getting they're getting robbed from and they're not doing what
they're supposed to do in those areas of Africa there.
Let's just talk monetarily. They have rare earth minerals. There's
resources to be developed there, and the Chinese are going
in through the Belton Road Initiative and they what they
do is they go and tell we'll build you a
damn We'll build you an electric plant, and they claim
it at half price or whatever, and then they triple
the price. While there, they bankrupt them and they say, oh,
what are we going to do up here? I'll tell
you what. We'll come in and take it over, but
we got to control it. And then that's the way
they do it. And they're uneducated people and they just
take advantage of them. What I would like to do
is there's areas of the desert there, and there's a
process of reclaiming the desert. Actually it's not overnight, but
in five ten years you see a change and allows
them to stay there and maybe develop agriculture and develop things.
I mean, they're not going to be rocket scientists overnight.
But you know, they're migratory mainly because of wars and communism,
and they've allowed and the environment is they've destroyed what
was once some fairly lush areas and turned them into desert.
And we can reclaim those areas and that I don't know.
I'm going to work with some of the folks over
there in the Black Caucus on that. And uh, you know,
I AOC is a friend. I don't agree with her
on anything, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Except for the stock stuff, right, because she's that too.
Speaker 2: She's on that too. Yeah, and she's she's big on that.
She sees that in our own party as well as ours.
And and I don't only enemies I really have up
here in my own party.
Speaker 3: That's so interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because uh deposed the former speaker.
Speaker 3: You do podcasts like this, That's why they don't like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't. They always say virtue, you know, you're
hugging the camera and all that, and you won't even
go on the camera. You know, they don't know, they
don't do that. You know, they all knocked me at
first because of my Twitter things when I walk off
the dad gum House floor tipped off of some terrible
piece of legislation we just passed, and they're claiming, you know,
they're all going to Stockholm for the Nobel Peace bru heck,
I don't want that Peace prize is but you know
what I'm talking about. Yeah, and they and they talk
about this piece of legislation it's really bogus. Since I
busted when I come off the Senate House floor and
and you know, and and bus the senators or what
have you. And they all knocked me my first couple
of years for doing that. And guess what now they
all have Twitter teams or x teams.
Speaker 3: Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And we wanna we definitely want to know more about
the donkeys, me in particular, because you have one named Daisy,
but you do not have one named mok.
Speaker 3: So you gotta gotta get on that. Are you gonna
balance that out?
Speaker 2: Well? I didn't. I didn't get to name them. Man.
Let me tell you what happens here we go. I
love my wife and daughter more than anything, right, So
I get this call one day and we're on voice
coming on. Yes, I don't know. I couldn't think of that,
uh fai, and uh that's never a good sign. It's
always uh the horse trailers in a ditch, or I've
just met this really nice state trooper that knows you
kind of sing, you know. And and my daughter's seventeen,
so she's driving, so I'm just like, r. They're in
the back of my buddy's pickup truck, in the back seat,
not in the ferry back. And I was like, where

such and such a lady? And that's that's always a trap.
And I really didn't even know who she was, and honey,
I don't know her. And she said, well, she says
she knows you, and its cool. And she said she's
got two donkeys or three donkeys, excuse me, three minuture donkeys,
and one of them she passed away. And that was
really sad. That made me sad because they get a
little sweet person that she was really old though, wasn't
in good shape. And uh but anyway, so I said, yeah,
I said, well, what's she doing with those donkeys? She said, well,
she's given them to us. What do you think? I'm like,
what am I thinking? You're already going to get them?
That's a I know how you women operate. That was
a situation. That's true, A lot better, honey, a Bord
or a Chevy when she I can see a fur
salesman in the background. That's right, honey, And we got
sixty akers. My daughter's a barrel racer, won world championship.
Is a barrel racer. That's so cool. I found a
little note from isabel Here's foods. Bro, love you. Isabelle?
Speaker 3: Is that your daughter?
Speaker 2: She says, they call you bro?
Speaker 3: Why do they call us all bro? My daughter calls
me bro. She's fifte bro, what's up.
Speaker 2: There? One time she goes hey, Boomer, and I was like,
she said, Dad, those shoes make you look like an
old white man. I said, ding, guess what that is?
An old white man? Hello. So these dad come donkeys.
I come home on a Thursday and we're in the
big in front of the big field, and Isabel's got
them all like they're all Daisy, Rose and Lily and
Rose is the one that passed away. She was the mama,
so she was a beautiful. I loved her. But anyway, Uh,
she had them all on the fence row and like
and very feminine colored harnesses or whatever, and uh and
I said, what the heck a y'all doing? And she said, Isabelle,
shampoo them baby. They're living the best life. You know,
they living the best life. And I was like whatever,
and I and so how much that cost? Is said nothing.
I was like a great deal. I love it. Anyway.
And then after he shampoos them all and brushes them all,
what do you think they do? They go roll in
the dirt, of course, even though they're donkeys. So anyway,
and I honestly I just love those dad. Get them things.
They escape, they knocked Sensy called me last week. Where
was I. I don't know. I was somewhere. I was
out of town, and she said she texted me and said,
I speeding the horse. I bringing the horses in. The
donkeys busted out. I'm tired, I'm over it. Something I
call isabel I said, Isabelle, where are you, Sae. I'm
in the house and go help mom. The donkeys are out, okay,
But she goes out out there and then that I
get home EI the next night or that, I don't
know when. Anyway, So me and Kelly are talking and
she said, did you put the donkeys up? She says
to me, I said, I didn't put the donkeys up.
I told isabel too, and she goes she and so
I text Isabelle and she's out with her boyfriend. So
so I said, well anyway, and we were getting ready
to eat a pizza. Is warmed up in the big
heads and Kelly said, I need a doctor. She's words
the doctor peppers. I said, I don't know. I guess
we're out. She goes, I think there's some in the barn,
and I said, you know, I got that hint. So
I go up, walk up to the barn and got
a couple of doctor peppers and uh and I did
the gentlemanly thing, and there were two. So I brought
them home and I drank water and so Kelly could
have another doctor pepper later or the next day, you are. Yeah.
So I up at the barn and I'm just kind
of walking through. I'm going our cat just had kittens.
It's like a six toad cat. It's the craziest things,
like I can't and Isabel calls it uh toes two
point zero. We think of Coyote eighty. My much Nat
has a bunch of cats, you know, like we need
more kittens, like I need a hole in the head.
I hear this noise. I'm checking on the cats and
I look over in the feed room and who's in there.
Daisy and Lily in the day feed room. And they've
been on the run for I don't know, forty eight
hours the way back anyway. So I was like, what
do y'all doing in there? And they're like, what what,
We're not doing anything? And I said yeah, and I
get them out of there and I put them in
a stall because it's too late. I did. I was
prayed if I try to get him out. They you know,
they might run and I couldn't get them at night.
So anyway, I love the donkeys. They're like therapy. Little
feet and donkeys are that crazy cartoon where there's Shrek
or something and what is.
Speaker 3: It, Yeah, Shrek with the donkey. Yeah if he plays
the donkey.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. I never I never really watched the movie
until you know, I got Isabelle and then I've watched
all that crazy stuff and You're.
Speaker 3: Like, it's the same thing. It's you're living that life.
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they and they and they're so smart and
they are everything on the hedge rows. I got news
feed them water. But what do you think we do?
You got this fancy mash that we give to the horses,
probably for thoroughbreds or something, but any of My wife,
she really takes care of them, and my daughter they
take care of those dad gumb horses. And she goes,
I made a little mash up for the donkeys. I'm like, honey,
you're freaking bottom feeders. And Kelly's feeding them ash. Every
one of our every one of our fence rows is
probably grown up with briars because the dad gum donkeys
don't eat them anymore.
Speaker 3: They have that exactly why would they eat that?
Speaker 2: I got so many videos of those crazy things, and
I'm gonna start putting them out there. You got to keep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we love those, we do. We love them.
Speaker 2: We have.
Speaker 1: So we heard earlier that you have a vote to
get to what are you guys voting on this afternoon?
Speaker 2: Do you know here? It's a vital national answer. It's
like a post officers and what are you voting on?
Speaker 3: Something important? Something really important.
Speaker 2: I've been in committee all day, so I usually they
come in and brief me on the bills and we decide.
You know here lightly, I've been voting against a lot
of even Republican bills because they're reporting bills. And here's
something else that happens with the sewer of Washington, d State.
Somebody like myself is well intentioned, and you think, God,
I got to pass the bill. I gotta pass the bill.
Show back home what I'm doing. And you get the
bill up there and staff has a problem with it.
They say that, and what's happened? As a lobbyist has
got somebody's ear Usually, yeah, well let's shot. I'll tell
you what. We'll do we need to pass this, but
let me let's make it into a reporting bill, so
we'll do the research and report back to Congress and
so then you can really attack it. No, you report it,
it becomes a reporting bill. And y'all ever seen that
movie writers are the Lost Ar? Of course, the Ark
of the Covenant. They're putting in our top men are
top men, yes, and they put it in this crazy warehouse.
We're all report are right now and aware somewhere for
congressional reports.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised it's not in a cave. Usually they're
in caves.
Speaker 2: Two procedural loads. One about tickets for entertainment. And you know,
I don't get to that. I don't always get upset
about these meals, because that's what that is, what democracy
is about. If somebody has an issue in your district
and you're bringing it up. Yeah, you know that's even
though it ticks me off, but somebody is concerned. They need.
Speaker 3: Tickets, tickets for entertainment. Okay, So I'm going to read
the bill Taylor, So Taylor Swift won't cost a thousand
dollars a ticket or something, right, that must be what
it is.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't step by the lecture to watching those.
Speaker 3: Right right right there with you, not that she's a clown,
but I don't go he's on me right right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, since you're since you're such a straight shooter, can
I have a question that I want an honest answer to.
You've been there since twenty nineteen, so you've been there
long enough to like know where the bathrooms are and
to like figure out where where you are in the
building at any given time. So how much of your
time is spent on actual work versus how much time
you have to spend on getting yourself re elected.
Speaker 2: It's about what you want to do with it. If
you allegedly if you do enough legislating and taking care
of people that you that vote.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's oh my gosh, Okay, I.
Speaker 2: Know we're already up to this has been fun. Can
we do this?
Speaker 3: We totally can't ask yes.
Speaker 2: Known about y'all foreverbody. Yeah, it just depends. Some guys
been half and half doing it. You know, they got
a million dollar four chests. The problem I have is
I don't have a lot of billionaires and millionaires that
support me. It's just working people and very tough on
me to be able to do that because my folks
can't you know, right, I can't forward. And and the
part of the and part of the scam up is
here up here is you have to raise so much
money to move up and in power and to become
a chairman. I mean, which is a scam that's at
Stamp and it's all legal, and the persson on it
and everybody's in on it. It's such and so I
mean that's crooked, and it is. You know, we've had
literally people that have written checks to become chairman there.
They're wealthy and I'm not, and I'm not up here.
And and honestly, the good old boys and good old
girls the ones that keep me in Congress, and that's
because I can't. Never I never. They always outspind me,
but that they never outworked me. Yeah, And they've flown
people up try to run against me in the primary
leadership as in the past. You know, they claim they did,
but then they come tell me that they're up there
trying to get them to run against meeting and people
have told me that. So it's just hang on, I'm
getting them what.
Speaker 3: We're going to wrap it up.
Speaker 2: I talk too much about crazy stuff and let's save
our country. Pray for our country.
Speaker 3: We'll do it.
Speaker 2: Here's the deal. Here's the deal. I'm leave you with this.
This is where America is. We're a farmer up on
a dad gum roof, right pen roof, and he's got
his bib overalls on. You can google that whether if
you don't know what that is. Falling off that roof,
he says, dad gunment, Lord, save me, save me, Lord.
He's falling back, and a nail catches the strap on
his bib overalls and he says, never mind, Lord, I
got it. Well, not putting that nail up there, okay, right,
and we and we just we got to quit slap
in God's hand away. He is hand. He is giving
us a chance. You know, people don't like Trump. I
love him my daughter's sonny school class. Yes, I like
him in the White House. Yes, yes, A friend of mine,
I mean, right, you know, a friend I mean he
calls you know, you know, so I dig that.
Speaker 3: But well, we'd love to having you. You can come
back anytime. What is joy
