00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of the Chicks on the Right podcast.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,320
We are delighted today to have with us Tim Birchett,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,720
representative from Tennessee's second Congressional district. Prior to that, he

4
00:00:11,839 --> 00:00:16,079
was a mayor of Tennessee Town. And today, mister Burchett,

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,519
you're getting a whole lot of popularity for your car,

6
00:00:19,559 --> 00:00:25,960
heart wearing, dad gum droppin' unfiltered sort of straight talking

7
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:30,120
Tennessee swagger. And by the way, we have a four

8
00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:36,679
dad gum minimum on this program to hold you to that. Okay,

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,640
we got a lot of stuff that we want to

10
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:41,719
ask you about, and I'm sure you've got stuff that

11
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:43,320
you want to talk about. One of the things that

12
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:45,840
we see from you on social media a lot is

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,600
your frustration, which we get of just the bureaucracy and

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,840
the red tape and the inefficiency of government, which makes

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,359
us want to ask you because you're so close to it,

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,399
the things that doge uncovered and is trying to get fixed. Like,

17
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:06,599
do we as regular pleabs have any hope of feeling

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,519
some improvement?

19
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: I think we do. But the problem you got is

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,599
is that every time we find a way to save it,

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,560
somebody finds a way to spend it. I remember if

22
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:17,879
I was in the state legislature in Tennessee, set next

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,040
to a Democrat buddy of mine, and he and I

24
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:24,640
had a bill and stayed five million dollars. That was huge,

25
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:28,239
And I remembered he says, man, it's a great bill,

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,680
and he said, this really and it really was a

27
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,560
savings of five million dollars. And he goes, I know

28
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:36,400
just where I want to spend that. Oh, you know,

29
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:39,519
and that's government, that's both parties. You know, we were

30
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:42,799
talking about saving billions of dollars. Man, We run up

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,799
at trillion dollars every hundred days in debt seven years

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,079
outside of the military, which is a disaster in its

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,799
o hone spending the war camps over there. We you know,

34
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:59,159
the largest, the largest single item will be interest. I

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,959
we might as well in knoxt Tennessee, might as well

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,920
just drive down Kingston Pike and my daughter's duly pick

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,319
up and just shovel one hundred dollar bills that game thing.

38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,680
And that's that's kind of where we're at. And we

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,319
got we gotta, we gotta start doing better. I mean, Republicans,

40
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:17,759
you know, these so called fiscal giant you know, they

41
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,280
go home, they go to through Lincoln Day and now

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,520
they're Magga Day or Reagan Day or whatever you want

43
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,599
to call it. And I go to these dad gam things.

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,520
I go to them all over the state of Tennessee.

45
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:36,000
And uh, there's Matt Gates calling me. Let me tell hey, Matt, Hey,

46
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,439
I'm on Chicks on the Right podcast right now, and

47
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:42,840
they're and hang on and they said, tell you hello.

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,360
I got you on speakers, say hello, Matt oh Man,

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,680
So you thought you were starting? Yeah, I thought I

50
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:53,479
was on the view and that I didn't get six

51
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,560
wind bags out here yelling at me. My god, people

52
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,039
agree with I need to call you back, brother, I'm sorry,

53
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:02,400

54
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:03,039
you in your Mike.

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: That was awesome interview.

56
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,319
Speaker 2: Cinars got an exclusive area of Tennessee over middle to

57
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,879
this his passway talking to a group of ladies and

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,520
dad come, Lona calls me, and I was like Luna,

59
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,479
and she always says, what's up, merchant? And then I

60
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:26,240
had her because I'm old and I've got these crazy

61
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,039
hearing aids, and I got as I call I'm on

62
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,439
the Blue Tooth, and it's like I'm on, you know,

63
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:33,759
on some drug or something. And so I said, I said,

64
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,199
you know, I keep looking at myself because I'm so captivating.

65
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,360
I think that's that's really good looking and realizes to me,

66
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:40,560
and Lona's talking to me. I said, wait, man, say

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,319
that again, Lona, And I put her on the speaker

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520
and she goes, what's up, merchant? And that's because she

69
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:47,599
always she always does her cameos in my videos, you know,

70
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,319
walking off the steps And anyway, what the hell were

71
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,080
not talking about?

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:51,439
Speaker 1: You?

73
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: You were talking about Joe's you.

74
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you to talk to him?

75
00:03:57,879 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: Is he nice guy?

76
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,719
Speaker 2: Elon's the game? I mean, I did what he's doing.

77
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,360
But we just don't have the guts to do it. Man. Right,

78
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,719
we're putting this in the law. Even the good old

79
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:09,879
boys back in Tennessee say, hey, Tim, what are you

80
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:13,439
all going to start codifying that stuff? Yeah? And they're right,

81
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:16,160
we got to start. And and I get it. Leadership

82
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:18,160
wants to put it in one beautiful big bill, you

83
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,959
know and all that. But you know what is in

84
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,040
that one beautiful big bill. What scared, you know, is

85
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,199
things that maybe shouldn't be so anyway, I don't want

86
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,360
to know all that. But yeah, I think we need to

87
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:31,480
we need to push that. We go home. That's what

88
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,759
I was going to say. I know where I got that,

89
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,720
and then Matt called me rudely interrupted me. Now we

90
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:39,600
go we go home, we preach the gospel, all the

91
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:42,680
red meat, and then we come back up here and

92
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,079
we sell y'all down the road.

93
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: Right, it's hot. It's a hot take, and it's a

94
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,720
trade off.

95
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: It is crooked. We are crooked as a dog's leg.

96
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:54,639
All right, we we we uh, We'll pass a tough

97
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,319
bill and then the Senate will pass a tougher bill.

98
00:04:57,639 --> 00:04:59,920
But guess what. They don't line up and they both,

99
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,759
oh the Senate, all that terrible house, in that house,

100
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,360
all that terrible Senate, and then leadership they go off

101
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,240
and drink wine at Kenney bunk Board or something. I

102
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,199
don't know, but that's the way it works. They're selling

103
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,759
us down the river. America needs to wake up. This

104
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,040
is not a swamp. I hate it when people say

105
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:21,319
this is a swamp because the reality is a swamp

106
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,920
is something God created and it's actually pretty cool. Swamp

107
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:28,560
is an ecosystem. Animals thrive there. It actually filters water,

108
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:31,040
the cattails, they pull out heavy metals. I mean, it's

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,680
a cool thing. And this is a sewer. This is

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,480
a god created a swamp man created a sewer. And

111
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,199
the reason sewers stink is something called getting a little

112
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:46,079
science here. Don't you think I'm educated? But yeah, you

113
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,720
get a sulfur smell from sewers because of what's called

114
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:53,439
anaerobic decomposition. And that means there's no oxygen and there's

115
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,480
no sunlight and it just and that's what the bacteria

116
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:58,800
forms in that. And that's what Washington d C. Is.

117
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:01,680
There is no sunlight up, there is no oxygen because

118
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,480
you've got a few people in control. And dad gum it,

119
00:06:04,519 --> 00:06:07,000
when when people see this, I know what's going to happen.

120
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,920
Leadership is going to come see me on the house.

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,519
Before they this a while back and they said, Tim Man,

122
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,279
you can't keep saying that stuff. I said, you mean

123
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:16,199
that we're crooked, and that you know the move is

124
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,800
the party system. You have to raise money. It has

125
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,360
nothing really to do with your ability, and that and

126
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:25,319
that people were we won't need fund a lot of

127
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:28,240
these things because people's wives and or girlfriends, maybe both

128
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,360
of them work on some of these agencies and both

129
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:31,959
parties do it. I said, you mean that and he

130
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:35,160
goes yeah, and he said back and I said, well

131
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:36,959
it's the truth though, right and he goes, well, yeah,

132
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,759
it's the truth. You just got to quit saying it.

133
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,720
And that's that's what we're up against in America needs

134
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:43,160
to wake the heck up and start.

135
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Okay, but we're we're awake, So what are we supposed

136
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:46,399
to do about it?

137
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: You're the one that's there, like, how do we make

138
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,600
how do we make that? From here?

139
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: Brust our asshold is accountable, and every dad gun vote

140
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,040
and say why do you vote for that? Why is

141
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:57,920
that that way? Why are you doing that? And and

142
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,600
and something else we need to do honestly. We need

143
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,680
to eliminate individual stock trade. We need to own a

144
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,399
mutual fund. My buddy, Tommy Siler and Knoxville manages my

145
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:13,279
eleven thousand dollars portfolio. It's, you know, mutual when when

146
00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:15,920
that that that that? What's that whales thing called the

147
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,680
unusual whales? I'm looking over here and he don't know.

148
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,759
I don't know anyway. My press guy, he's new. He

149
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:25,040
doesn't know how to get me just yet.

150
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,439
Speaker 3: Ready, just quit? He just quit him. He's done, he's gone.

151
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:35,199
Speaker 2: On campus everything that you know, and they print out

152
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:38,759
these things and just show the top one hundred and

153
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,199
I'm and my wife always looks at and goes, honey,

154
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:43,600
we need to get a new stock recer. We got

155
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,519
to get you at least in the top hundred of stock.

156
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta start. You gotta start following Nancy Pelosi

157
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:49,839
like a lot of like.

158
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: Not even she's not even number one. I mean, yeah,

159
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,920
it's it's it's it's pretty bad when she's making two

160
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:57,120
or three hundred percent return.

161
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,759
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, a little bit.

162
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: Let me tell you how it works. Let me tell

163
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,839
you how it works. All right, y'all know I didn't

164
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:06,399
vote for them over a one red cent for Ukraine.

165
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,000
I think when Zelenski said, you know, he doesn't know

166
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,079
where at least one hundred million dollars of that of

167
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,600
our two one hundred and fifty I mean one hundred

168
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:15,959
billion of our two hundred and fifty billion that we

169
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,920
sent over there. I an't voted for penty of it.

170
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,720
But when that deal went down and Joe Biden gave

171
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:29,519
them our missile defense system, well we had to replenish ours,

172
00:08:29,519 --> 00:08:31,519
which we should we can't be left neck and we

173
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,480
can't air cover. We got to have it. So what

174
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:37,840
ends up happening is is that lo and behold, we

175
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,080
have to it's a no bid contract for our missile

176
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,080
defense company, and that we had a multi billion dollar

177
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,600
and guess who owned stock in that members come and

178
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,240
some of them actually bought that stock weeks prior. So

179
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:58,159
there's there's no reason to trust us either party on

180
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,919
those kind of issues. Need to force those issues. And

181
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,159
another thing you ought to do that gumm, it is

182
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:11,919
single issue spending bill for single issue spending bill. Yes, yes, oh,

183
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,519
we're going to vote. This is for feeding starving children.

184
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,960
And you know, like two dollars in there for feeding

185
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:20,720
in a billion in for some mng O. So right,

186
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:24,159
you know, I mean, do you honestly think we're spending

187
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,879
ten million dollars on circumcisions in Madagascar? I mean, obviously

188
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,480
you're probably voluntary, but still ten million dollars. It ain't

189
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,120
getting there, and some of course not. And Elon Musk

190
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,720
even said, and I caught him, mister Messy's to come, Alon,

191
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:42,360
He said, Tim, there's a circuitous route and it goes

192
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,919
right back to Congress. And I agree with him. And

193
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,519
now that it's change, nothing change until one of these

194
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,679
caps is led out of here in hancuff. And I

195
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,720
don't hear which party, and if it's in our party,

196
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:54,960
I say, bust them right now.

197
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,399
Speaker 3: Well, we hope somebody, we hope somebody is going to

198
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,159
make that happen. That would be great if we could

199
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,120
see that. On what do you what do you think

200
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:04,360
about the tariffs? What is your stance on the Trump terroffs.

201
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: I think Trump went let's look at China first. Trump

202
00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:11,480
went with China first, and he went big, he went bold.

203
00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:14,080
And the reason Trump did that is for why and

204
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:17,879
members of Congress are already filing bills, Republicans and Democrats,

205
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,320
you know, to take that control back from Trump. And

206
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,440
the reason he did that is because the reason we're

207
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,399
in such a bind with China because Congress sold us out.

208
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,559
They sold us out with the lobbyists. They there's no

209
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,440
reason in the world the Chinese get this. They owned

210
00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:36,720
property around our military instillation. Yeah, we've allowed them to

211
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,879
buy farm land.

212
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,919
Speaker 3: Yeap, around where I live.

213
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,159
Speaker 2: That's bad news. And this is the one that I

214
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,360
find most egregious that nobody's really paying attention to they

215
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:49,080
owned some of the commissaries in our military installation.

216
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: Oh what what's that?

217
00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:54,159
Speaker 2: Dude does that? I mean, they're gonna know what we

218
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,120
bought a stick of gum. No, you run that credit card.

219
00:10:57,159 --> 00:10:59,440
They're gonna go, oh, that's a lieutenant colonel, he flies

220
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:02,559
a f whatever. And they're going to know our true movements.

221
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:05,799
They're going to know our military installations where they are.

222
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,679
And this is the kind of And they're in our

223
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,919
learning institutions, they're in our research institutions, and they'll tell you,

224
00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:15,200
oh no, they're not in the classified stuff. They're in

225
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:23,200
the stuff over here. And I'm losing my I'm losing.

226
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,919
Speaker 3: My You got to do the deal. You got to

227
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:27,399
do the deal.

228
00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: Don't tell my wife either.

229
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: We want your secret safe. But nobody watches the show

230
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,279
your body does. It's fine to people watch.

231
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: When he's not. When I was mayor and Knox County staff,

232
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,480
he's was my press guy and he a chief stuff

233
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,519
up here. But he'd always have a saying he said,

234
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:46,840
you know, I've never had to tell anybody. What Tim

235
00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:49,919
Burchett really meant to say was I'm going to tell

236
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,679
you so anyway. So it's you know, we are crooked.

237
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,000
Let's just be honest. But let's pass and make us

238
00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:00,120
pass that dose. Dad gunna builds have a buildings. There

239
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:02,039
is no stop trading. I know my buddy Tip Roy

240
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,919
has one that's more bipartisan. You know, he's an attorney.

241
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:06,799
I'm sure it's a lot more pages. Mind is usually

242
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,240
about half a page of one Senate.

243
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,879
Speaker 3: Which is the way it should be, right, That's.

244
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,039
Speaker 2: The way I roll. Anyway, did you find me one dude?

245
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: Oh? Thank you for that.

246
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: Dude.

247
00:12:17,159 --> 00:12:20,279
Speaker 3: That's gonna make that's going to make all the difference. Absolutely.

248
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:23,519
Speaker 1: So okay, this big beautiful bill there was like I

249
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,799
saw a clip of Mike Johnson saying that it's not

250
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,000
going to be on Trump's dusk until July.

251
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,639
Speaker 3: What are you guys doing?

252
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's crazy. What just ran by me?

253
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:37,960
A glafier. I mean, this place is so freaking slow.

254
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,759
I've been wanting to do that for a long time.

255
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:41,679
I've been kind of working. When before I got in,

256
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,240
it was on our show Thank you you saw here live.

257
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:54,039
Let's talk a little bit more about the system, all right.

258
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Mike Johnson's got I mean, he's got the world specked

259
00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:59,600
up against him. First, of all, he's an honest guy.

260
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:03,279
And somebody said, what's the difference to him. I said,

261
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,679
he's honest and he doesn't cheat on his why And

262
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,679
somebody said that's a pretty low bar, and I said, well, hell,

263
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,120
you ain't been in Washington very long. It's a great bar.

264
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:15,639
And he's accountable, and he's a Christian and I get

265
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,840
all that, and I mean, you know, but Jesus didn't

266
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,639
ask him to leave the temple that gut me threw

267
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,720
him out and he and Mike realizes that to speaker Johnson,

268
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:28,679
I don't like that sounds. I knew him before he

269
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:29,440
was speak direct.

270
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 3: I called you Tim, I'm sorry that was probably.

271
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 2: I want you to call me Tim Congerston, some eighty

272
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,440
five year old guy that ain't heard the gun go off.

273
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,559
It's on the wall up here. He's got a staff.

274
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:40,279
Let's staff. That's what I want to talk to you about.

275
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,200
This is how stuff happens. I look at committees. I mean,

276
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,320
we're the Party of limited growth, limited government, big growth,

277
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:51,000
limited government. I look back at one of our committees.

278
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,840
We were doing a photo. You know, you do this

279
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:54,960
committee photo, and I don't know why. It's not like

280
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,480
I'm going to hang the dad gum thing up on

281
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:59,000
my wall. I don't get it, but they they're big

282
00:13:59,080 --> 00:13:59,720
on pictures.

283
00:13:59,759 --> 00:13:59,879
Speaker 1: Doc.

284
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: Have you got a seventeen year old daughter, you know

285
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,519
I got, I got pictures of everything.

286
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: You know, yes, totally.

287
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: Horses everything, cats, dogs, We want.

288
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: To hear about your donkeys, you know, given a minute.

289
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: But anyway, so I look back and I start counting

290
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,639
the members, start counting as staff members. I mean, we

291
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:26,279
had close to fifty bad gone daft men fifty and

292
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,679
the Democrats had just as many. So and then you figure, oh, wait,

293
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,759
you don't have to have a crooked You don't have

294
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:36,320
to have a crooked commerceman or senator. You just need

295
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,360
a couple of staff members that control bill. How many

296
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:44,320
times have I heard a chairman say, you'll read about

297
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,399
this in my book. But how many times have I

298
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,480
heard a chairman say, oh, I couldn't do that, Jim

299
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:55,600
Staff just wouldn't allow it. Who did that? Right? That

300
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,840
is where the problem lies your staff members. You've got

301
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,480
some members, all them, the vast majority of them are

302
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:04,399
super patriotic young people. You got some that have been

303
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,600
around for a while, and you know they're the ones

304
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:10,360
you see in the movies. You know where they're you know,

305
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,840
it's not the president meeting with the lobbyist or whatever,

306
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:14,399
having the martini the staff.

307
00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:15,519
Speaker 3: It's the wages.

308
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,759
Speaker 2: And they go on the codals and they go on

309
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:21,320
the trips and they get compromised. Let me tell you

310
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,600
how compromising works. It's pretty easy. There's a couple of

311
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,840
different men. There's one the old Russian trick called the honeypot.

312
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:32,879
You're in a you're in a town somewhere, maybe in overseas,

313
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,519
and they know what you're what you're into. And maybe

314
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:37,279
someone Eric.

315
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: Swell do what I said, Eric Swawell.

316
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well that's that's old school. Come on, let

317
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:47,759
Jesse rob this train. All right, I'm gonna let me

318
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:49,960
get to this from Tennessee.

319
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, sir, I am. I went to University Tennessee

320
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:53,200
and Knoxville.

321
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:53,639
Speaker 2: I did.

322
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:59,559
Speaker 3: Yes, you talk about I'm sorry, go ahead, I said,

323
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:01,519
you talk a Kingston Pike and I'm like, I know

324
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:04,360
exactly what he's talking about. I've been there on that

325
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,080
road strip.

326
00:16:05,639 --> 00:16:07,399
Speaker 2: What was a big honk tonk on the strip when

327
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:07,879
you were there?

328
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,799
Speaker 3: Well, we used to go to the lap and the

329
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,440
library and the library was a really great bar that

330
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:15,159
you could call him your parents to be like, what

331
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,440
did you do tonight? You could say, I went to

332
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,799
the library and then it was a lot.

333
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: One of my oldest friend in the world, Scott Davis

334
00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:23,240
on the library.

335
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,399
Speaker 3: Serious, Oh my god.

336
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: One of those he's one of my Well, tell him.

337
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,159
Speaker 3: That I made a lot of great memories in that place,

338
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,559
because yeah, great, probably.

339
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:38,639
Speaker 2: Lost some memories there too, exactly. And the Lap, of course,

340
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:40,919
everybody's been the world famous. The guy that owned the

341
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,639
Lap was a friend of mine, the older guy, and

342
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,159
he now owns a restaurant down there on Amory Road.

343
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: It's changed a lot. Knoxvill has changed a lot over

344
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,519
the past twenty twenty five years.

345
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:56,399
Speaker 2: Yeahlin Avenue has gone as far as I'm yeah, anyway,

346
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,159
we'll get in that later anyway, But I digress. H

347
00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:05,319
oh yeah, staff, So you get the honey pots. You know,

348
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,359
you get some good looking girl walks up and says

349
00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:11,880
laughing at your jokes, and you buy her a drink

350
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,680
and next thing you know, you're in your motel room

351
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,720
with her naked. And then and then they got a

352
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:18,799
picture of you and they own your ass.

353
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: Right, how often is that happening?

354
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know the Russians, and they did so

355
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,480
much with the Russians. They called it honey pots. Yeah

356
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,240
you know, but anyway, let me let me finish here.

357
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,799
So I don't know how much of that happens now,

358
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,480
but I will tell you this. I was on a

359
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:40,200
podcast called The Bennie Show. Yeah you know, and Benny's

360
00:17:40,319 --> 00:17:42,839
kind of a buddy of mine. He laughs at all

361
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:45,920
my jokes and gets tickled and says nice things about me.

362
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,960
But he and I talked about that, and people, oh

363
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
my gosh. When I told that story, people in Congress

364
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:54,160
just went ballistic. You know, Oh, I can't believe you

365
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,440
said that. Virtute. Okay, well, dude, if you're not messed

366
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,640
around on your wife or your girlfriend, you don't have

367
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,200
to worry about it. You know. They come to you

368
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,440
and you're getting ready to make a key boat and

369
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,200
then somebody whispers in your ear, hey, man, how you

370
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,960
going vote on this? I'm co for this thing. Man.

371
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
I really was sure against this. They said, no, I

372
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:11,799
can't do that. And then just say, hey, were you

373
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,799
in a motel room with a girl and Kaiwan or something?

374
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,759
And they go yeah, like, oh man, I don't want

375
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:22,319
that out. And then they say it won't get out there.

376
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:24,119
It just help us with this boat. Oh yeah, whatever

377
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,519
you want. Then they don't want to own you. They

378
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:29,599
just rent you and the other way they do that.

379
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,440
And what happened was I was on the Beni Show

380
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,039
and I talked about that. Oh I got blistered by

381
00:18:35,079 --> 00:18:37,119
members of Congress. Did I can't believe you said that?

382
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:39,160
And again I said, if you're not doing it, don't

383
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,319
worry about it. Well, that week, a prostitution ring was

384
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,640
busted in Washington, DC. And guess who they were? Chinese?

385
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

386
00:18:50,319 --> 00:18:52,079
Speaker 2: And they released it in the press. There was a

387
00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:55,359
big splash one day and it said there are three

388
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,160
groups of people. There were influential Washingtonians. Government contract at

389
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,519
an elected official. The next week and you know the

390
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:05,880
where's the black book? Everybody wants the black book? Next

391
00:19:06,079 --> 00:19:12,720
week the story disappeared. Well, anyway, if you get powerful people,

392
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:19,599
the checkbook comes out, and that's and they own your okay,

393
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,480
doing these jobs. You don't think that some multi billion

394
00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:29,680
dollar corporation could not give some influential person's wife, daughter, son, whatever,

395
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,720
a consulting job, a no show consulting job, or you

396
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:38,359
know some quote and that's why the Democrats spought me

397
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,240
last week on the nng OS, the Non Governor Organization,

398
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,480
where I was trying to defund the Taliban. They wanted

399
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,720
to take the n g O portion out. We're given

400
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:48,200
the Taliban forty million dollars a week. We can talk

401
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,039
about that later in the show. But I've been working

402
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:53,119
on that over a year to get that out and

403
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,400
now I'm just embarrassing people is all I'm doing now

404
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:57,799
and ever. And I want you to know I'm not suicidal.

405
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,200
So if you'll find me for holes in the back

406
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,000
of my head, I did not commit myself.

407
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,519
Speaker 3: We know you are not. We absolutely know that.

408
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: I have to ask, who is there any hope? Like,

409
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,200
because everything you're saying seems so doom and gloom, Like

410
00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:16,559
what what do we what do regular Americans do with

411
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,720
this information besides drink well? Like, how are we supposed

412
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,480
to react to that?

413
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: You pray? Ask God to save our country? Because I

414
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,920
mean literally it's almost demonic. I think that I got

415
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,799
people protesting me in Knoxville, Tennessee that want funding for

416
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,039
all I mean, you know, transgender shows and things like that.

417
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,119
People are going without food and of and Upper North

418
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,119
Carolina still they don't have electricity. I think they're getting

419
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,519
it hooked up now that Trump got in office. But

420
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,200
after a hurricane Helene, you know, I just we lose

421
00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:53,240
track of things too, mam. It's moving so fast. Dose.

422
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,200
You know the government. President Trump puts these executive orders

423
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,240
in and I have a saying that Americans one their

424
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:02,960
pizzas in thirty minutes or left. Yeah, that's about our

425
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:06,480
dad gum attention span. Yeah, that's how we just move

426
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,599
on to the next train wreck. Oh, there's a shiny

427
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,400
object over there. When I was mayor of Knox County,

428
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,039
I used to say, there's going to be another wreck

429
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:16,640
on the interstate tomorrow, guys. And what that meant was,

430
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,640
you know, we're going to catch some heat today, but

431
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,880
tomorrow we're going to you know, there'll be something else,

432
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:25,079
one another wreck or anything. But that is our attention span,

433
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:27,640
and that's that's where we are as Americans. We've got

434
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,599
to stay focused. We've got this dose stuff. He's cut

435
00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:34,640
electing honorable people. It's got to happen. It's got to

436
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,920
happen in both parts. The Democrats have been hijacked. I

437
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,759
mean it's almost a demonic force. In my opinion, some

438
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:43,480
of the things that they're you know, castrating little boys

439
00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:48,680
right going down El Salvador to bring back a suspected

440
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:53,160
gang member who's actually was in trouble for beating his wife.

441
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,400
I mean, she's claiming it didn't happen, but there's some

442
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,880
pretty damning court events. And in our own state of Tennessee,

443
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,119
he was caught in a van or a vehicle all

444
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,680
in people that were obviously non Americans with an invalid

445
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,160
driver's license and live. Yeah, I apparently was told told

446
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,680
the Tennessee Highway, and I know the Tennessee Row. I

447
00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:16,640
was a faith legislator for sixteen years and work closely

448
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,200
with them and legislation, and they're honorable men and women,

449
00:22:20,279 --> 00:22:23,799
very patriotic, very straight laced kind of folk. And I

450
00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:27,599
can guarantee that was be a real morale killer when

451
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:30,559
you had somebody you knew was illegal, you knew was

452
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,640
trafficking people, and they weren't allowed to follow the law.

453
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 3: I'm believable.

454
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,519
Speaker 1: So you're not going to Old Salvador with some of

455
00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:38,799
your Democrat colleagues.

456
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: Well, actually, I'm on the l Salvador Caucus and the

457
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,960
president down there sent me a message. Matt Gates put

458
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,640
me on that caucus. It is weird because you know,

459
00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:51,400
I like their no crime stuff. Apparently you like their

460
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,440
crimes down ninety something percent under this gap. I mean you,

461
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,599
if you got a if you if you're a gang member,

462
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,920
if you got it written on a tattoo, they believe

463
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,200
you really are and they will lock you up. Yeah,

464
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,680
but it's no nonsense down there. It's not America. I

465
00:23:06,759 --> 00:23:07,160
get it.

466
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 3: And uh, but it's worked. He's what he's done has

467
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,880
worked so far gone right.

468
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,279
Speaker 2: Black Memphis, Tennessee, ma'am. They've had a bunch of shootings

469
00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:19,599
there in the last couple of weeks, and you know,

470
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,720
it's just it's just a wild town. And the sad

471
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,519
thing is all that you know, a lot of people

472
00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:25,880
have left and then a lot of good people are

473
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,720
stuck there because they're not financially able to leave and

474
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:31,039
they're just at the mercy of these gangs and stuff.

475
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:32,720
And we've got to start addressing that.

476
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,759
Speaker 3: But so do you Is there, like, is there a

477
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:39,039
Democrat or or several Democrats in Congress that you like?

478
00:23:39,079 --> 00:23:40,279
Are they all pretty much?

479
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: You know? Right? Yeah, I'm in a black bars and

480
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,519
prayer group with Jesse Jackson's son Jonathan always hid my

481
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:51,519
donkeys and he gets a big kick out of it

482
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,480
in the field. One time we'll get him to knock

483
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:56,519
for im. We'll give me, Hey, put those peppermints in

484
00:23:56,519 --> 00:23:59,440
your pocket and walk out there the donkeys, you know,

485
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,559
and yeah, you don't know what to do.

486
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: We love the documentary.

487
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: Pasi Mafumi, that's a name I think he used to

488
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:10,440
end up the NAACP. I'm working with him on some

489
00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:15,599
stuff on Africa. I'm worried about the Chinese communists taking

490
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,240
over Africa, and God puts this stuff on my heart.

491
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,480
It's not a it's not gonna help me politically. Nobody

492
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,680
I'm going to vote for me because of this stuff.

493
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:29,880
But we have we have programs that we're we're we're

494
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,359
getting they're getting robbed from and they're not doing what

495
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,960
they're supposed to do in those areas of Africa there.

496
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:39,920
Let's just talk monetarily. They have rare earth minerals. There's

497
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,960
resources to be developed there, and the Chinese are going

498
00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:47,799
in through the Belton Road Initiative and they what they

499
00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:49,240
do is they go and tell we'll build you a

500
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,000
damn We'll build you an electric plant, and they claim

501
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:54,680
it at half price or whatever, and then they triple

502
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:57,039
the price. While there, they bankrupt them and they say, oh,

503
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:58,759
what are we going to do up here? I'll tell

504
00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:00,359
you what. We'll come in and take it over, but

505
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,519
we got to control it. And then that's the way

506
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:04,519
they do it. And they're uneducated people and they just

507
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:06,799
take advantage of them. What I would like to do

508
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:09,000
is there's areas of the desert there, and there's a

509
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:13,200
process of reclaiming the desert. Actually it's not overnight, but

510
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,200
in five ten years you see a change and allows

511
00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:20,759
them to stay there and maybe develop agriculture and develop things.

512
00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:23,640
I mean, they're not going to be rocket scientists overnight.

513
00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:28,559
But you know, they're migratory mainly because of wars and communism,

514
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:32,799
and they've allowed and the environment is they've destroyed what

515
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,960
was once some fairly lush areas and turned them into desert.

516
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,920
And we can reclaim those areas and that I don't know.

517
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,680
I'm going to work with some of the folks over

518
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,480
there in the Black Caucus on that. And uh, you know,

519
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:49,839
I AOC is a friend. I don't agree with her

520
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,720
on anything, Yeah.

521
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: Except for the stock stuff, right, because she's that too.

522
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,799
Speaker 2: She's on that too. Yeah, and she's she's big on that.

523
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,240
She sees that in our own party as well as ours.

524
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:07,039
And and I don't only enemies I really have up

525
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:08,119
here in my own party.

526
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:10,079
Speaker 3: That's so interesting.

527
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, because uh deposed the former speaker.

528
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 3: You do podcasts like this, That's why they don't like it.

529
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't. They always say virtue, you know, you're

530
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,279
hugging the camera and all that, and you won't even

531
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:24,480
go on the camera. You know, they don't know, they

532
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:26,480
don't do that. You know, they all knocked me at

533
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,440
first because of my Twitter things when I walk off

534
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,480
the dad gum House floor tipped off of some terrible

535
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:34,400
piece of legislation we just passed, and they're claiming, you know,

536
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,640
they're all going to Stockholm for the Nobel Peace bru heck,

537
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,759
I don't want that Peace prize is but you know

538
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:42,480
what I'm talking about. Yeah, and they and they talk

539
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:45,079
about this piece of legislation it's really bogus. Since I

540
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,880
busted when I come off the Senate House floor and

541
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,279
and you know, and and bus the senators or what

542
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,680
have you. And they all knocked me my first couple

543
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,480
of years for doing that. And guess what now they

544
00:26:55,519 --> 00:26:58,359
all have Twitter teams or x teams.

545
00:26:58,759 --> 00:26:59,759
Speaker 3: Isn't that interesting?

546
00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

547
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,559
Speaker 1: And we wanna we definitely want to know more about

548
00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:08,160
the donkeys, me in particular, because you have one named Daisy,

549
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,079
but you do not have one named mok.

550
00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:14,839
Speaker 3: So you gotta gotta get on that. Are you gonna

551
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:15,880
balance that out?

552
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: Well? I didn't. I didn't get to name them. Man.

553
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,440
Let me tell you what happens here we go. I

554
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:25,920
love my wife and daughter more than anything, right, So

555
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
I get this call one day and we're on voice

556
00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:33,799
coming on. Yes, I don't know. I couldn't think of that,

557
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:39,119
uh fai, and uh that's never a good sign. It's

558
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,359
always uh the horse trailers in a ditch, or I've

559
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,880
just met this really nice state trooper that knows you

560
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,160
kind of sing, you know. And and my daughter's seventeen,

561
00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:55,079
so she's driving, so I'm just like, r. They're in

562
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,400
the back of my buddy's pickup truck, in the back seat,

563
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:02,000
not in the ferry back. And I was like, where

564
00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:03,839
the heck are y'all? She goes, honey, do you know

565
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,200
such and such a lady? And that's that's always a trap.

566
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:10,680
And I really didn't even know who she was, and honey,

567
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,319
I don't know her. And she said, well, she says

568
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,920
she knows you, and its cool. And she said she's

569
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,000
got two donkeys or three donkeys, excuse me, three minuture donkeys,

570
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,640
and one of them she passed away. And that was

571
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,440
really sad. That made me sad because they get a

572
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,279
little sweet person that she was really old though, wasn't

573
00:28:28,319 --> 00:28:32,519
in good shape. And uh but anyway, so I said, yeah,

574
00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:36,559
I said, well, what's she doing with those donkeys? She said, well,

575
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,480
she's given them to us. What do you think? I'm like,

576
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:43,279
what am I thinking? You're already going to get them?

577
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,200
That's a I know how you women operate. That was

578
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:51,960
a situation. That's true, A lot better, honey, a Bord

579
00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:54,720
or a Chevy when she I can see a fur

580
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:59,480
salesman in the background. That's right, honey, And we got

581
00:28:59,519 --> 00:29:02,839
sixty akers. My daughter's a barrel racer, won world championship.

them all like they're all Daisy, Rose and Lily and

595
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:50,480
Rose is the one that passed away. She was the mama,

596
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,279
so she was a beautiful. I loved her. But anyway, Uh,

597
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,319
she had them all on the fence row and like

598
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,559
and very feminine colored harnesses or whatever, and uh and

599
00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:07,480
I said, what the heck a y'all doing? And she said, Isabelle,

600
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:10,119
shampoo them baby. They're living the best life. You know,

601
00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:12,880

00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,319
And then after he shampoos them all and brushes them all,

605

what do you think they do? They go roll in

606
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:33,559

627
00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:32,400

628
00:31:32,519 --> 00:31:37,200
I go up, walk up to the barn and got

629
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,559
a couple of doctor peppers and uh and I did

630
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,160
the gentlemanly thing, and there were two. So I brought

631
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,759
them home and I drank water and so Kelly could

632
00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:52,720
have another doctor pepper later or the next day, you are. Yeah.

633
00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:56,200
So I up at the barn and I'm just kind

634
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,880
of walking through. I'm going our cat just had kittens.

635
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,359
It's like a six toad cat. It's the craziest things,

636
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:07,359
like I can't and Isabel calls it uh toes two

637
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:12,000
point zero. We think of Coyote eighty. My much Nat

638
00:32:13,079 --> 00:32:14,640
has a bunch of cats, you know, like we need

639
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,839
more kittens, like I need a hole in the head.

640
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,079
I hear this noise. I'm checking on the cats and

641
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,000
I look over in the feed room and who's in there.

642
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,319
Daisy and Lily in the day feed room. And they've

643
00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:30,319
been on the run for I don't know, forty eight

644
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:35,759
hours the way back anyway. So I was like, what

645
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:37,240
do y'all doing in there? And they're like, what what,

646
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,640
We're not doing anything? And I said yeah, and I

647
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,440
get them out of there and I put them in

648
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,599
a stall because it's too late. I did. I was

649
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,759
prayed if I try to get him out. They you know,

650
00:32:47,839 --> 00:32:49,599
they might run and I couldn't get them at night.

651
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:53,799
So anyway, I love the donkeys. They're like therapy. Little

652
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:59,480
feet and donkeys are that crazy cartoon where there's Shrek

653
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,839
or something and what is.

654
00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: It, Yeah, Shrek with the donkey. Yeah if he plays

655
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,079
the donkey.

656
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,039
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. I never I never really watched the movie

657
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:10,279
until you know, I got Isabelle and then I've watched

658
00:33:10,319 --> 00:33:12,079
all that crazy stuff and You're.

659
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 3: Like, it's the same thing. It's you're living that life.

660
00:33:14,319 --> 00:33:15,039
That's kind of cool.

661
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they and they and they're so smart and

662
00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:21,720
they are everything on the hedge rows. I got news

663
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:23,599
feed them water. But what do you think we do?

664
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,799
You got this fancy mash that we give to the horses,

665
00:33:27,599 --> 00:33:30,039
probably for thoroughbreds or something, but any of My wife,

666
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,759
she really takes care of them, and my daughter they

667
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:35,559
take care of those dad gumb horses. And she goes,

668
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:38,160
I made a little mash up for the donkeys. I'm like, honey,

669
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:46,640
you're freaking bottom feeders. And Kelly's feeding them ash. Every

670
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,599
one of our every one of our fence rows is

671
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,279
probably grown up with briars because the dad gum donkeys

672
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:52,160
don't eat them anymore.

673
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,119
Speaker 3: They have that exactly why would they eat that?

674
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,519
Speaker 2: I got so many videos of those crazy things, and

675
00:33:58,519 --> 00:34:00,680
I'm gonna start putting them out there. You got to keep.

676
00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we love those, we do. We love them.

677
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:03,799
Speaker 2: We have.

678
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,599
Speaker 1: So we heard earlier that you have a vote to

679
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,800
get to what are you guys voting on this afternoon?

680
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 2: Do you know here? It's a vital national answer. It's

681
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,760
like a post officers and what are you voting on?

682
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 3: Something important? Something really important.

683
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: I've been in committee all day, so I usually they

684
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,039
come in and brief me on the bills and we decide.

685
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:28,559
You know here lightly, I've been voting against a lot

686
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:32,239
of even Republican bills because they're reporting bills. And here's

687
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,039
something else that happens with the sewer of Washington, d State.

688
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:37,880
Somebody like myself is well intentioned, and you think, God,

689
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,440
I got to pass the bill. I gotta pass the bill.

690
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,920
Show back home what I'm doing. And you get the

691
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,800
bill up there and staff has a problem with it.

692
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,000
They say that, and what's happened? As a lobbyist has

693
00:34:48,039 --> 00:34:51,559
got somebody's ear Usually, yeah, well let's shot. I'll tell

694
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:53,719
you what. We'll do we need to pass this, but

695
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,000
let me let's make it into a reporting bill, so

696
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,320
we'll do the research and report back to Congress and

697
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,960
so then you can really attack it. No, you report it,

698
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,800
it becomes a reporting bill. And y'all ever seen that

699
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,159
movie writers are the Lost Ar? Of course, the Ark

700
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,559
of the Covenant. They're putting in our top men are

701
00:35:13,639 --> 00:35:17,159
top men, yes, and they put it in this crazy warehouse.

702
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,559
We're all report are right now and aware somewhere for

703
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,800
congressional reports.

704
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised it's not in a cave. Usually they're

705
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:26,639
in caves.

706
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 2: Two procedural loads. One about tickets for entertainment. And you know,

707
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:33,880
I don't get to that. I don't always get upset

708
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,679
about these meals, because that's what that is, what democracy

709
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,119
is about. If somebody has an issue in your district

710
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,119
and you're bringing it up. Yeah, you know that's even

711
00:35:43,159 --> 00:35:46,199
though it ticks me off, but somebody is concerned. They need.

712
00:35:47,559 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 3: Tickets, tickets for entertainment. Okay, So I'm going to read

713
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,800
the bill Taylor, So Taylor Swift won't cost a thousand

714
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,599
dollars a ticket or something, right, that must be what

715
00:35:56,679 --> 00:35:56,920
it is.

716
00:35:57,079 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't step by the lecture to watching those.

717
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 3: Right right right there with you, not that she's a clown,

718
00:36:02,559 --> 00:36:05,440
but I don't go he's on me right right.

719
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:06,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

720
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: Well, since you're since you're such a straight shooter, can

721
00:36:09,039 --> 00:36:11,199
I have a question that I want an honest answer to.

722
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,760
You've been there since twenty nineteen, so you've been there

723
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,559
long enough to like know where the bathrooms are and

724
00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:18,519
to like figure out where where you are in the

725
00:36:18,559 --> 00:36:21,760
building at any given time. So how much of your

726
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,840
time is spent on actual work versus how much time

727
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,159
you have to spend on getting yourself re elected.

728
00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:33,119
Speaker 2: It's about what you want to do with it. If

729
00:36:33,159 --> 00:36:38,320
you allegedly if you do enough legislating and taking care

730
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,440
of people that you that vote.

731
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,199
Speaker 3: Okay, that's oh my gosh, Okay, I.

732
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 2: Know we're already up to this has been fun. Can

733
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:46,559
we do this?

734
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 3: We totally can't ask yes.

735
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:55,679
Speaker 2: Known about y'all foreverbody. Yeah, it just depends. Some guys

736
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,760
been half and half doing it. You know, they got

737
00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:01,079
a million dollar four chests. The problem I have is

738
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,760
I don't have a lot of billionaires and millionaires that

739
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,960
support me. It's just working people and very tough on

740
00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:12,960
me to be able to do that because my folks

741
00:37:13,079 --> 00:37:16,320
can't you know, right, I can't forward. And and the

742
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,079
part of the and part of the scam up is

743
00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:19,920
here up here is you have to raise so much

744
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:24,280
money to move up and in power and to become

745
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,000
a chairman. I mean, which is a scam that's at

746
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:29,639
Stamp and it's all legal, and the persson on it

747
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,039
and everybody's in on it. It's such and so I

748
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:35,440
mean that's crooked, and it is. You know, we've had

749
00:37:35,559 --> 00:37:41,639
literally people that have written checks to become chairman there.

750
00:37:41,639 --> 00:37:44,199
They're wealthy and I'm not, and I'm not up here.

751
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,800
And and honestly, the good old boys and good old

752
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,719
girls the ones that keep me in Congress, and that's

753
00:37:49,079 --> 00:37:52,119
because I can't. Never I never. They always outspind me,

754
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,960
but that they never outworked me. Yeah, And they've flown

755
00:37:56,039 --> 00:37:57,960
people up try to run against me in the primary

756
00:37:58,079 --> 00:38:00,920
leadership as in the past. You know, they claim they did,

757
00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:03,719
but then they come tell me that they're up there

758
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:05,679
trying to get them to run against meeting and people

759
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,039
have told me that. So it's just hang on, I'm

760
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:10,599
getting them what.

761
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:15,079
Speaker 3: We're going to wrap it up.

762
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,159
Speaker 2: I talk too much about crazy stuff and let's save

763
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,960
our country. Pray for our country.

764
00:38:24,119 --> 00:38:24,559
Speaker 3: We'll do it.

765
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 2: Here's the deal. Here's the deal. I'm leave you with this.

766
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,079
This is where America is. We're a farmer up on

767
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:34,039
a dad gum roof, right pen roof, and he's got

768
00:38:34,079 --> 00:38:37,079
his bib overalls on. You can google that whether if

769
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:39,559
you don't know what that is. Falling off that roof,

770
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,920
he says, dad gunment, Lord, save me, save me, Lord.

771
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,639
He's falling back, and a nail catches the strap on

772
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,880
his bib overalls and he says, never mind, Lord, I

773
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,679
got it. Well, not putting that nail up there, okay, right,

774
00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:56,159
and we and we just we got to quit slap

775
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,440
in God's hand away. He is hand. He is giving

776
00:38:59,519 --> 00:39:02,239
us a chance. You know, people don't like Trump. I

777
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,199
love him my daughter's sonny school class. Yes, I like

778
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,400
him in the White House. Yes, yes, A friend of mine,

779
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:11,119
I mean, right, you know, a friend I mean he

780
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,079
calls you know, you know, so I dig that.

781
00:39:14,679 --> 00:39:17,519
Speaker 3: But well, we'd love to having you. You can come

782
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:19,320
