Hello, everybody. Welcome to The Great America Show. Good to have you with us here today.
00:00:38.920
Marxist Attorney General Merrick Garland finally held in contempt of Congress.
00:00:43.760
House Republicans this week voting 216 to 207 to hold Garland in contempt for not releasing the Biden special counsel Robert Herr's audio tapes of his interview with the puppet president.
00:00:59.520
The vote was divided along party lines with one rhino, David Joyce of Ohio, voting with those doggone Dems.
00:01:07.180
Garland, who pledged when taking over as attorney general to work independently from the White House, well, he's done just the opposite.
00:01:15.380
He's lined up. He's more than a wingman. He's an entire fleet for the president.
00:01:23.660
The Marxist AG says he is deeply disappointed that the House of Representatives has turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon.
00:01:33.920
Well, you've turned an entire Justice Department into a weapon, Garland.
00:01:40.520
This attorney general may be as demented as the puppet president he serves because he's the man responsible for weaponizing the federal government.
00:01:50.840
President Trump on Capitol Hill Thursday to meet with House and Senate Republicans.
00:01:55.040
He was met with a warm welcome at his first stop at the GOP campaign headquarters where the packed room saying happy birthday to him.
00:02:04.300
And then he headed over to the Senate side where he met with outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
00:02:10.780
And this is the first time they've met in four years.
00:02:14.640
With Hunter Biden's guilty verdict this week came a lot of noise from the Marxist Dems.
00:02:22.820
Those 51 intel chiefs who lied through their teeth and told us the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:02:31.340
Our guest today says he wants accountability for those liars.
00:02:35.920
Our guest today is Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee.
00:02:39.360
He sits on the House Oversight, Foreign Affairs, and Transportation Committees.
00:02:48.580
You want accountability for those who called Hunter Biden's laptop disinformation.
00:02:56.780
And I want to just applaud you and commend you because, you know, people calling for accountability in D.C., they're very few and far between.
00:03:21.420
It is to me, you know, here's the intelligence community, so-called intelligence community.
00:03:26.600
Heck, Lou, that's like, you know, integrity in Congress.
00:03:34.720
And so but I think it's important that we put it to a vote.
00:03:38.600
We try to get these people in here because realistically, the so-called intelligence community is, you know, decisions they make are life and death.
00:03:49.080
These are the people that got got our generals ears and got the president's ear, things like that on top secret things that we never hear about.
00:03:56.580
And if we do, it's days or months or years later.
00:03:59.080
And yet these people all of a sudden developed a very bad case of groupthink and they all just piled on on a terrible issue that really possibly and I think did have a have a serious effect on the outcome of the presidential election.
00:04:17.640
Now, we you know, they kept it and they all said the same thing.
00:04:21.540
You know, you've seen those montages of the national media when the Democrat puts out there.
00:04:26.340
They put out their talking points and then the CNNs, the NBCs, the ABCs, the CBS is on down the line.
00:04:37.820
And if you saw any of the interviews with them, it was the same type of thing.
00:04:41.360
I would like to get a man and maybe just study how they got this information, who they got it from, and then go to them and find out how it was formulated, because this was a very serious issue.
00:04:54.740
So the Russian this was a Russian interference.
00:04:57.480
This was them putting something on American soil so we would find it.
00:05:01.200
So I think we need to find out their their line of thinking on this issue.
00:05:06.940
And and so we don't make those same mistakes again.
00:05:12.440
I think they figured out that they could change the course of history if they just did that and got away with it.
00:05:18.540
And they could stop President Trump from returning to the Oval Office.
00:05:32.040
I never voted for any liquor bills, but I didn't vote for taxes either.
00:05:43.480
He told me one time we were sitting at the bar at the Crown Plaza and he had his expensive Jack Daniels and a very expensive cigar.
00:05:52.740
And he said, he said, he said, he said, I don't need to control the whole house or the whole Senate.
00:06:05.860
And that's exactly what I think they've done here.
00:06:13.040
And we need to work at making sure they had never have a seat at the table.
00:06:21.220
Because it looks like somebody's bought into whatever it is he's selling.
00:06:26.240
But, you know, I haven't heard yet back from Chairman Comer.
00:06:30.220
He usually grabs me in the gym or at committee and tells me yay or nay on my letters.
00:06:35.980
And he's been actually been pretty forthcoming, him and Jim Jordan both, on doing this.
00:06:42.720
A lot of people have gotten after them and said, what's the use?
00:06:48.520
You know, when the Democrats were in control, oversight committee, they had a series of
00:06:52.560
hearings on naming the Washington Redskins, renaming them because it was offensive, even
00:07:01.240
But the truth is, that was the most serious thing they handled.
00:07:04.820
And yet, Chairman Comer and Chairman Jordan are both being criticized in the national media
00:07:09.200
because they're going after, you know, we're having hearings over what we're supposed to
00:07:14.660
And I'm hoping that he follows through with this.
00:07:17.720
But I've often said that a lot of these members are compromised, Lou.
00:07:21.700
And the intelligence community are the ones that I would think, if you had a uniparty or
00:07:30.860
And you could probably see that, put them at the head of that list.
00:07:36.460
It's also, it seems to me pretty clear that right now, those 51 Intel veterans, as they
00:07:44.320
were called, who denigrated the reality of that laptop, not one of them has a leg to stand
00:07:54.880
They were there to change the outcome of the 2020 election.
00:07:58.280
And then you get an old buffalo like James Clapper saying, I wouldn't change a thing.
00:08:05.000
And you think, what in the world is this fool saying?
00:08:08.640
He's saying it doesn't matter whether it's true or not.
00:08:11.920
His motives were so pure and so elevated that none of us mere mortals should be able to hold
00:08:27.860
I mean, you surround yourself with people that aren't as smart as you to make you feel
00:08:32.900
You know, it was Bay of Pigs and, you know, Watergate, things like that that could have
00:08:37.980
been diffused or handled differently, but it weren't because the people around them were
00:08:43.460
more, since we're not on mainstream media, they were more, you know, more interested in the
00:08:50.780
butt kiss than they were about the production of what they were doing.
00:08:54.500
And I think that's clearly what's happened here.
00:09:00.540
It was a, they took us over without a shot and they did not want Donald J. Trump in the
00:09:07.180
And they did what they had to do and they did it and they did it well.
00:09:16.020
And I just, I have to just question one thing you said.
00:09:20.180
What do you mean we're not mainstream media here?
00:09:27.420
There's my daddy down there at Ben Actually nursing home.
00:09:31.160
Just, I mean, it wasn't long before he was going to meet the Lord.
00:09:34.000
And I walked in one time I was mayor and I was fighting the big boys.
00:09:38.200
I was always fighting everybody because everybody wanted to raise taxes.
00:09:42.740
I did stupid things like pay down debt when I was mayor.
00:09:57.800
And he pulled me up close and he said, you really want that bunch for you.
00:10:02.340
And, you know, you don't want that bunch for you, Lou.
00:10:05.180
You don't want to be considered mainstream media because mainstream media is corrupted
00:10:10.840
And the bad thing about it is a lot of them don't even know it, like Clapper, like these
00:10:20.540
I got too many, I got IOUs in my swear jar at the house.
00:10:24.620
Well, I'm too old to get careful, so I'll just keep plodding on.
00:10:29.460
We're talking with Congressman Tim Burchett and we're listening to every word with rapt
00:10:35.000
attention because he unleashes truth and we like that.
00:10:39.820
We'll be right back talking with Congressman Tim Burchett.
00:10:42.620
Folks, you know, I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis.
00:10:48.180
And when it comes, our lives will likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war
00:10:57.500
We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.
00:11:02.360
We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals.
00:11:08.000
With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here,
00:11:14.060
And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.

We're talking with Congressman Tim Burchett and Congressman, I want to go to Ocasio-Cortez
00:12:45.440
It's like the yellow fog every morning on my windshield.
00:13:06.700
Very precise professional metrics we follow here.
00:13:10.800
It's Congressman Tim Burchett here, and we're joined by Lou Dobbs.
00:13:15.920
Lou, give me your thoughts on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:13:20.080
Well, I think this is a woman that is seriously bound to some favors that she shares too often
00:13:29.700
Namely, most recently, saying that she wanted to rein in fundamentally unaccountable and rogue
00:13:43.220
It's pretty impressive, the deep thinking that goes on in places you would never suspect
00:13:54.100
Daddy was a dean at UT, and Mama was a career educator.
00:13:58.880
Dadgummit, she's publicly educated with a degree in accounting.
00:14:01.660
I mean, she's openly a Marxist, for goodness sake.
00:14:09.220
I brought a skateboard up that I built about a month ago, and she grabbed it and posed for
00:14:15.560
But the truth is, this tells you what is coming out of our public institutions now.
00:14:20.820
And that is a scary thought to think that somebody with those kind of views is publicly educated
00:14:28.360
You know, you got your Harvards, your Browns, your Yales, places like that.
00:14:33.820
They're private institutions, and they've gone off the rails a long time ago.
00:14:41.640
And something else that bothers me is that when the president, nobody really talked about
00:14:46.940
If you caught the State of the Union address at about 45 minutes into the babbling, he
00:14:56.080
He said, we need to let them know what we think about it.
00:14:58.540
You know, he's not supposed to cross that barrier.
00:15:02.140
You know, and to me, that just shows you how out of touch they are and how out of touch
00:15:07.220
the national media is, because they should be slamming them for that stuff.
00:15:11.340
And that is exactly an issue we don't have any bearing on, except for the president who
00:15:20.080
You know, this whole deal, it's not going the way they want, so let's change the rules.
00:15:27.000
That is a banana republic, and we do not need that.
00:15:30.260
These folks are eating a lot of bananas right now on the left.
00:15:33.800
You know, when you say that this court is out of touch, it's to rein in an unaccountable
00:15:42.660
and rogue Supreme Court, and Justice Alito, he's created a major, major infraction of the
00:15:52.660
This man has actually let it be known that he believes in godliness in America.
00:15:57.520
And you, to see the left-wing media take after this, you would have thought he said that
00:16:03.600
he's been a sleeper agent for the Soviet Union for years and didn't get the word that the
00:16:13.200
And the big crime is being godly and calling for godliness in America.
00:16:20.600
And by the way, I think everybody would acknowledge we're in short supply of that right now.
00:16:32.800
The founders, if they're able to look down upon us, they're spinning like a top in their
00:16:41.900
I mean, they have just thrown out the Constitution.
00:16:45.720
If it doesn't work for them, we're going to change all the rules.
00:16:52.460
Well, here we are, they're going to take us without a shot because we've allowed these
00:16:56.240
colleges and institutions to, for years, to allow these liberals.
00:17:00.840
You know, you wonder where all the hippies and the protesters went from the 60s and 70s.
00:17:05.340
They're on your dadgum college campuses right now teaching and running them.
00:17:10.480
You know, I would dare say, I always say they always talk about diversity.
00:17:14.080
I said, well, ask them how many dadgum Republicans they got in their sociology department.
00:17:21.280
And I've often asked, I've asked the media in my town and nobody's got the guts to do it
00:17:26.920
I want to know what primary some of these big shots vote in.
00:17:31.580
You know, you got all the colleges and stuff and they all run up there to kiss up to the
00:17:35.700
colleges and they go sit in the skyboxes and go to the fancy games and go on the trips
00:17:40.980
And these professors and the presidents, I'll tell them how great they are.
00:17:46.040
Well, check their dadgum voting box and see which primary they're voting in.
00:17:49.760
I'll guarantee you that I'd say about 98% of them are not voting in the Republican primary.
00:17:55.060
Well, I checked the primary box in South Carolina and I was thrilled to see that Nancy Mace had
00:18:04.100
won her primary and Kevin McCarthy, the arch villain of the rhino Republicans, he just
00:18:15.920
got crushed like a little bug, a little rhino bug.
00:18:21.160
And I just want to salute Nancy Mace for what she pulled off there in South Carolina.
00:18:26.620
And I hope everybody takes Kevin McCarthy and just drums him across the country.
00:18:33.140
Well, the interesting thing about that, Lou, he has $17 million and that he claimed, or
00:18:38.440
16, and they were claiming they never played in primaries.
00:18:41.880
And I know several members have said, in fact, that they did in their districts.
00:18:45.240
I wish somebody would do a story on that because that's money people gave him to beat Democrats,
00:18:49.840
not to run against MAGA or conservative Republicans.
00:18:53.260
But in fact, that's what they're using the money for.
00:18:56.100
And by the way, he's running pretty hard to be a part of the Trump administration.
00:19:07.920
I mean, there's no bigger Trump supporter than me.
00:19:11.640
But I get nervous just seeing him in a crowd near the president, let alone traveling with
00:19:18.260
I hope that the stories are wrong and that he has not wormed his way into the power center
00:19:29.780
I mean, your thoughts about Kevin McCarthy, do you have any love for him?
00:19:39.660
You know, if he's chief of staff, though, or something like that, I think that would be
00:19:43.500
that would just start off on an adversarial role with a lot of real conservatives.
00:19:48.320
People have stuck their neck out like myself, like Matt Yates and others that, you know,
00:19:54.080
Bob Good, others that I think is just the wrong approach.
00:19:57.320
I think, you know, once you're gone, you're gone and you need to you need to go on about
00:20:01.580
how you see these guys in the legislature would would get beat and then or they leave and they'd
00:20:07.900
come back and they want to be a sergeant at arms or something, you know, or try to be
00:20:15.100
I, you know, I just ride off into the dadgum sunset.
00:20:18.900
And when I leave here, I'm going to go on the farm.
00:20:20.960
I'm going to play with my wife and daughter and and lose more money raising horses.
00:20:24.740
Well, I have to say the idea that Kevin McCarthy is advising Mike Johnson, a speaker, and there
00:20:44.580
And by the way, Paul Ryan is on the board of Fox talking to a little Neil about politics
00:20:51.880
and telling everybody what an awful person, an awful person, President Trump is.
00:21:01.320
I mean, he's a board member of a public company and he's out there just spewing hate left and
00:21:11.400
Well, I think they're just taking taking their their lead from the from the left and how they've
00:21:22.380
I want, you know, but it seems my thoughts kind of fall on deaf ears around here.
00:21:28.160
Well, you know, you don't have to hate on them.
00:21:30.640
It's great fun to kind of just nudge them once in a while.
00:21:37.260
I'd say Nancy Mason was a good little nudge last night.
00:21:40.880
I expect they're going to get another one, Bob Good.
00:21:44.900
You know, they a couple of people apparently made contact with a couple of people in my
00:21:49.280
district about running against me as well because I'm one of the people.
00:21:53.240
But and they came to me and they, you know, that didn't happen.
00:22:00.140
And and by the way, I I hope good does real good.
00:22:09.720
I went down to his district and you would love the people.
00:22:12.740
It was very much across the board from the country club to the guys and gals, the names
00:22:20.160
We I think we had like seven or eight events that day.
00:22:24.300
I very I dug it very much is the kind of campaign I like.
00:22:31.040
Congress and Birchard likes right after these quick words.
00:22:39.520
The wellness company and their doctors are medical professionals you can trust and their
00:22:43.520
new medical emergency kits are the gold standard when it comes to keeping you safe and healthy.
00:22:47.700
This medical emergency kit contains an assortment of life saving medications, including ivermectin,
00:22:53.600
Rest assured, knowing that you have emergency antibiotics, antivirals and antiparasitics on hand
00:22:59.040
to help you and your family stay safe from whatever life throws at you next.
00:23:12.100
We're back talking with Congressman Tim Birchard.
00:23:15.140
Congressman, as we wrap up here, I just want to get a sense from you as to the nature of
00:23:25.540
Now, until November 5th, is it your sense you're going to win more seats in the House?
00:23:33.500
Is it your sense that the Republicans are going to come out of this stronger?
00:23:41.480
You know, Trump, President Trump's coming in tomorrow to speak to the conference.
00:23:45.660
And and I hope he he unites us at that at that meeting, because we've got a lot of people
00:23:51.160
in that that really honestly don't care for him.
00:23:58.680
And I think that, you know, this rising tide will raise all the ships if we we know how
00:24:04.540
to capitalize on it and we don't go off in 100 different directions.
00:24:07.940
And also, too, I hope President Trump lays out a plan for that for more majority seats,
00:24:14.400
because what we did in the past is not really work, as you know, our leadership told us last
00:24:18.920
go around we could have as many as 40 new seats.
00:24:21.340
And what do we are up five or six or something like that?
00:24:25.280
And to me, that's not acceptable because that doesn't put us in a good light with the American
00:24:30.480
It puts people like me who are very conservative in more power because then I can then my vote
00:24:36.380
actually I can I can sway some things and get more conservative amendments and principles
00:24:41.720
and bills. But I hope he talks about, you know, it's costing Americans $600 more a year
00:24:54.040
Fentanyl flooding over the border, tighten up the border.
00:25:00.960
And I hope that we nail out some pretty specific things there, because I think the American public
00:25:12.620
You go to the gas pump, you go to the store, you can just see it everywhere.
00:25:16.940
And so I would hope he would lay out some specifics.
00:25:21.140
There are some real turns in the polling as well.
00:25:24.520
For the first time in my career, there's always been an agitation about illegal aliens taking
00:25:32.380
American jobs. But now we have solid polling from CBS News and YouGov to state categorically 62%
00:25:43.680
of Americans want illegal aliens who've been brought in by the Biden administration to be thrown out of
00:25:58.020
That is, if nothing else, a mandate to do exactly what President Trump said he's going to do,
00:26:04.000
which is carry out the largest deportation program in the country's history.
00:26:10.160
Well, I'd say it'd be a good time to invest in busing stock because they're going to have
00:26:20.820
He's just saying what everybody's been whispering.
00:26:27.760
But, you know, every time you see the crime in the streets and then you see where veterans
00:26:31.660
are kicked out of homeless shelters so that they can house the illegals and they're issued
00:26:35.560
health care and things like that, that our veterans and our citizens who pay for it aren't
00:26:39.640
getting, I think they see a White House that is way out of way out of step.
00:26:46.040
That's why you're seeing black folks and and Hispanic folks that are here legally are saying
00:26:52.760
They're coming after this president, Donald Trump.
00:26:55.760
Well, they can sure as hell come after me and they and they want to put an end to it.
00:27:01.400
