00:00:33.660Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:38.640Well, Congress is back to work this week after the Independence Day holiday, and there's a lot to get done in the few weeks they have left before they go on summer recess.
00:00:45.840Among the many issues, further investigations into the Biden crime family, Joe Biden's cognitive decline, the Merrick Garland contempt vote, and much more.
00:00:56.420To take all this up and much more, we ask Congressman Tim Burchard of Tennessee to join us today to give us an update on what's going on and how we go forward before Congress heads into summer session.
00:01:06.160Congressman, thanks for joining us today.
00:01:08.240Thank you all for having me. It's always a pleasure being on with you.
00:01:10.740So let's start first with the Merrick Garland contempt vote.
00:01:14.480Where does that stand right now? Will you be able to get it through before you head off for summer recess?
00:01:20.280Or will it be something that will be tabled until September?
00:01:23.300Well, you know, a few weeks ago, we passed a resolution to hold him in contempt.
00:01:28.700And, of course, he refused to comply with two congressional subpoenas, you know, and hand over the tapes.
00:01:35.000The president's interview with Robert Hurt.
00:01:36.740The thing about that is we don't, you know, everybody says we got the transcripts.
00:01:41.100Well, we haven't, this place hasn't been truthful about anything.
00:01:44.860We don't know if those transcripts are accurate or not.
00:01:47.200We don't know, you know, what I'd like to know is if you had any legal advisors in there and we're telling him, oh, you can't say that.
00:01:55.840And also, you know, you don't know where the commas are and where the periods are in the conversation and things can be taken out of context.
00:02:02.980And when he said that he's a, you know, basically he's a he's just an old man.
00:02:13.380They need to he needs to come before before us.
00:02:16.080But there are three types of content of contempt of Congress, criminal, civil and inherent and inherent is the one we're going after because the other two require too many trips to the to the courthouse.
00:02:30.580You know, it's the bureaucracy would be just so much.
00:03:36.840Well, why is there an attorney general above the law?
00:03:39.300You know, why is there this with this double standard?
00:03:41.420You had Peter Navarro get picked up in an airport who's in jail right now in leg irons.
00:03:45.300You have Steve Bannon head to jail last week.
00:03:47.840I mean, why don't the Republicans fight like the Democrats fight?
00:03:52.480We don't have any guts and we're not held accountable.
00:03:55.700And I think we're complacent in our little, you know, these guys are chairman or, you know, chairman of the subcommittee on bean beetles or something.
00:04:03.740And they go home strutting around about all that.
00:04:06.320And they don't do a whole heck of a lot.
00:04:08.980You know, dadgummit, people are sick of it.
00:04:10.740And I would hope that they would start voicing their opinions about that because this era of compromise, that's why we're $35 trillion in debt.
00:04:31.960We haven't had the guts to vote for cutting funding and other things.
00:04:37.280So I would think at some point we will get that.
00:04:41.660And I would hope, and part of the trouble too, I told Lou this once before, but, you know, these guys and gals, they go home and they throw the red meat out at the Lincoln Day or Reagan Day.
00:04:52.900Now the MAGA Day dinners, these chicken dinners we go to.
00:04:58.580And then they come back up here and then they continuously boat us down the river.
00:05:03.140And I would hope that some of these folks, get your grandkids to show you how to use that computer, but look what's in some of these boats that we're making and some of the boats we refuse to take.
00:05:15.820And that's the one hope I have about President Trump.
00:05:19.160They will be afraid not to do this stuff, not to make these cuts and not to enforce those areas of the Constitution.
00:05:26.240Well, in your leader, Mike Johnson, he's sort of been sitting lame duck now for the last month or so, you know, hasn't exactly been the most popular Speaker of the House.
00:05:35.840You know, he comes after Kevin McCarthy.
00:06:06.180Well, President Trump seems to enjoy his support.
00:06:08.540I think part of the fact is we're down to three Republicans.
00:06:12.120You know, we've got a bunch of these guys that ran on principle and then when they're offered a better gig, they get out in a hurry.
00:06:18.860They bailed on us and left us in a bad spot.
00:06:21.480And then you've got 20 or so decided not to run.
00:06:25.100I think that's the that's that's the telling thing right there that they don't they're not going to be able to operate under this new regime, so to speak.
00:06:34.200And and so, you know, he's got three or four boats, three or four between him and the Democrats.
00:06:39.680He has to be careful some days of even going to the floor where he can be deposed because so many Republicans have deaths and families and life just happened.
00:06:48.940And so it's a it's a touch and go situation every day.
00:06:51.960And I, you know, if I was him, I worry about the people that he has around him because he kept so many of his predecessors, people.
00:07:00.200And that and that to me, that that's that because his predecessor sure wasn't supportive of him becoming speaker.
00:07:07.000Right. You know, it's just everywhere you turn or somebody sniping at him.
00:07:12.140So I would hope at least these last 22 days or so of session that we have that we do what we said we're going to do.
00:07:20.200And we end on a good note because naming post offices is not why most of us came to Washington.
00:07:25.540And I'll be and I'm naming a post office eventually, I hope.
00:07:29.600But but that's just in the course of business and a lot of other important legislation that's moving.
00:07:35.220We're talking to Congressman Tim Burchard of the great state of Tennessee.
00:08:01.500We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.
00:08:06.360We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90 percent of all our pharmaceuticals.
00:08:11.800With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.
00:08:17.940And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.
00:08:23.600Our good friends, Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Drew Penske over at the Wellness Company have put together just what you and I need with the Wellness Company's medical emergency kit.
00:08:33.300And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved ones.
00:08:38.760This emergency kit includes eight life-saving medications, including amoxicillin, Z-Pak and ivermectin for you to keep on hand, along with a guidebook for safe use.
00:08:49.360From tick bites to biochemical events, every medical scenario is covered.
00:09:55.040I'm wondering if the state-run media has shut this out.
00:09:58.940He says, I look forward to a fight at the convention or something like that.
00:10:02.960If he's going to get into a fight at a convention, it might be the first time I watch a convention in decades, because they usually are just a show anyway.
00:10:16.340So he's in the bunker, and they're running up the steps of the Capitol with pitchforks and torches, because I just don't see the support there.
00:10:28.560You saw ranking Democrats pull off of him, five of them.
00:10:32.820Seth Moulton, who's sort of in the middle of that situation.
00:10:36.680He's a Marine and up-and-coming leader.
00:10:39.960And then you see Jerry Nadler saying he doesn't need to run again.
00:10:45.500I mean, you don't get much more swamp than that.
00:10:48.100And so I would just – it's going to be interesting to watch.
00:10:52.260I mean, it'd serve our needs most if he'd stay in, obviously.
00:10:57.080But our country, my gosh, seven months of that, and now the world knows what we'd all whispered about.
00:11:05.080You know, the media has kept covered up or tried to keep cover up.
00:11:08.040And every time he'd bring it up, they'd say, I'd say, yeah, that's all this other – and they're just co-conspirators in this whole thing.
00:11:14.020So, you know, it's sort of interesting to see this fighting inside the Democratic Party because you don't see it too often.
00:11:20.420You know, you had the infighting in the party with Kevin McCarthy, and that was, I guess, the last major issue.
00:11:27.160But now you've got these Democrats split on where they stand with Joe Biden.
00:11:30.260A new Emerson poll out today has Trump leading Joe Biden in six swing states, all by three points or more except for Michigan.
00:11:39.960I mean, it looks like this is Trump's race to lose.
00:11:42.700With the exception of Biden getting out of the race and, I guess, floating Michelle Obama, which is constantly what you hear, which she says she wants nothing to do with it, can't blame her.
00:12:03.980I remember when Bill Clinton, they came out that he was a draft dodger, which apparently he was, went to England, allegedly a Rhodes Scholar to study over there.
00:12:15.260I think he – and then used that to avoid the draft.
00:12:19.340And I thought, man, we've got him beat now.
00:12:31.960And that's why I think in the House we need to focus on our agenda and what we're going to pass and quit worrying about this presidential stuff because what we say and do is going to have very little, if anything, to do with that.
00:12:42.440And we better worry about running our country because America's watching, and the Democrats sure as heck are watching every move we make.
00:12:49.600And, yeah, I think it's also pretty telling, too, that you're not seeing any of the up-and-comers in the House say they're going to run for president.
00:12:58.560They're putting their name in because they know how bad these policies are and what they've done to our country.
00:13:04.900I mean, immigration, just you name it, everything.
00:13:08.660And where we're at as a nation right now, inflation, those kind of things, because they've all voted 100 percent, mostly, with everyone on Biden's agenda issues.
00:13:18.040And I know there's no path forward for any of them.
00:13:25.180But still, I think the long shot is the governor of California just because he's charismatic.
00:13:33.120He's run that state into the ground, but that doesn't seem to really matter to Democrats.
00:13:38.280So you mentioned the Biden issues that he ran on, and obviously one of them, probably the biggest, is the open border.
00:13:44.460A new report out today from the National Immigration Center for Enforcement says that 99 percent of illegal aliens, border crossers, are living freely across American communities with whatever they want to do, walking around.
00:14:00.360And they put that number at 17 million.
00:14:02.940We estimate it's probably a little bit higher than that, the gotaways that they don't like to count or even talk about.
00:14:08.320I mean, how do we come back from this?
00:14:10.620How do you come back from letting, we'll call it 20 million to be conservative, illegals coming into this country, now maybe looking to register to vote because the Democrats in the House want to let them?
00:14:22.100How do we ever come back from this, even with Trump winning in November?
00:14:25.960How do you save this country from all these illegals?
00:14:28.840Yeah, I mean, the state of Tennessee is 7 million people, between 6 and 7, so just imagine that over, probably, you know, to me, it's insurmountable, actually.
00:14:42.440You're going to have to, I think there's going to be a culling process of folks when they do something criminally.
00:14:48.820And, I mean, I don't know, you're going to enlist a bus line or a train system to haul people back to the border?
00:14:56.500I just, you know, I've talked about this immigration thing like a leaking boat.
00:15:01.680There's a group that want to, that just wants to bail constantly.
00:15:05.800But first, you've got to stop the haul.
00:15:07.800You've got to stop the haul, and that's the border.
00:15:10.020And you've got to enforce our laws and get the wall built and get those things done.
00:15:13.780They wanted $5 billion, $4 or $5 billion to do that.
00:15:16.780And I see where it's costing just about, that's what they're paying just to take care of the illegals in New York.
00:15:23.520So, I mean, you know, it's their plan to bankrupt.
00:15:26.700I just think you've got some people, the puppet masters that are doing this, that are total anarchist and want to see this country fail because they hate everything about it.
00:16:05.100The Wellness Company and their doctors are medical professionals you can trust, and their new medical emergency kits are the gold standard when it comes to keeping you safe and healthy.
00:16:17.200This medical emergency kit contains an assortment of life-saving medications, including ivermectin, Z-Pak.
00:16:23.300Rest assured, knowing that you have emergency antibiotics, antivirals, and antiparasitics on hand to help you and your family stay safe from whatever life throws at you next.
00:16:41.300We're back with Congressman Tim Bircher to Tennessee and member of the House Oversight Committee.
00:16:45.540Congressman, this week, House Oversight Chairman James Comer, he wants Dr. Kevin O'Connor, a White House physician, to come into the committee and have a transcribed interview.
00:16:56.840Can you tell us a little bit about what's going on?
00:16:58.340Yeah, he is obviously involved in a lot of things, and I have written a letter, actually, before all that broke, dealing with him about the fact that he was involved with AmeriCorps, and they loaned James Biden $600,000, of which $200,000 of that was given to President Biden.
00:17:23.480And this is supposed to be his physician.
00:17:28.300I mean, the collusion is all over the place in this thing, and why the national media just is not just harping on this right now.
00:17:35.540I mean, that should be the nails in the coffin of this White House.
00:17:38.840Originally, I was going to write a letter inviting him in to talk about the president's cognitive abilities, but he is so compromised that I think we need to invite a team of physicians in to do just that and analyze what's going on with this president, because this guy is totally in the tank.
00:18:04.500And, I mean, the unethical nature of this whole thing, the money that goes back and forth.
00:18:11.060And really, what bothers me most, I mean, we all know most of these guys are shady to get to these levels to be here that long.
00:18:17.280They're, you know, three or four houses and, you know, the planes and all the other and the investments that get in 60% return every year kind of things.
00:18:26.160We know that goes on. But what really hacks me off about all that even further is the fact we don't have any proof that they paid any dadgum income tax.
00:18:35.420Right. I mean, what's going on in this country with the average American having to pay taxes on crazy stuff?
00:18:41.700And they just stack it on to us. And they say, we're going to tax the rich.
00:18:46.180But apparently, if you're rich and in government, you don't have to pay taxes.
00:18:50.180They let the statutes run on a lot of this stuff already.
00:18:53.720Right. You know, it's the level of corruption you see out of this administration, out of the Biden family.
00:19:01.260I don't think it's one that you could actually script for a Hollywood, you know, maybe we should ask Adam Schiff.
00:19:06.240He's a screenwriter. You know, it's something we can script for a movie.
00:19:10.020I mean, the levels of corruption you see in this family, in this administration, aren't even levels you saw in the 1970s with New York mob families.
00:19:17.680You know, now we all of a sudden we have a White House physician involved in the Biden crime family.
00:19:24.740I mean, how much deeper does this run? Where does the committee move from here?
00:19:28.740You know, does this Congressman Comer, you know, thinks it runs even deeper than a White House physician?
00:19:35.560Well, everything Jamie Comer's brought forth, as you know, has been has been based on facts.
00:19:42.660And I've gone through a lot of these these numbers and the corporations and the 20 some odd shell corporations they fought.
00:19:50.760They put together in some of how I can't remember how many bank accounts they've had to run this stuff.
00:19:56.520You and I have one bank account or maybe two.
00:19:58.700You know, I have one for my campaign and one for my my wife and I's personal account.
00:20:03.500And that's it. You know, but they double digits bank accounts.
00:20:07.480And, you know, what's going on with all this? And why are we not?
00:20:10.640And where is our Justice Department? I think until we keep people keep saying, well, you're going to do this and the Justice Department won't do anything.
00:20:16.900But that's well, that's their job. And that's on them.
00:20:19.880And we need to expose that as well and show to the American public all this facts and figures.
00:20:24.680And why in the world is this White House getting by with this?
00:20:28.740Two sets of justice, the Biden crime family and the rest of America.
00:20:33.520Congressman, real quick before we wrap up here.
00:20:36.060Will we see criminal referrals for any of the Biden family members, any of the business partners before this Congress wraps up in November?
