Rep. Tim Burchett (R-VA) joins Lou Dobbs to discuss the latest in the ongoing saga of the Ukraine crisis and what it means for the future of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
00:08:34.100And meanwhile, the, uh, the communist Chinese are on the march, uh, encircling, uh, Taiwan, uh, your thoughts.
00:08:43.000Well, I've talked about in the past how some members I think are compromised and, um, and I don't, I can't speak specifically about any of them, but I think that's about the only reasonable answer you can come to.
00:08:55.960If somebody's whispered in their ear about something in their past, or they are, um, or maybe a family member or something, and they just said, I, I can't risk it anymore.
00:09:07.920And so they, there won't be much news about, uh, a former congressman versus a current congressman.
00:09:13.980And so, you know, and something else that bothers me about that, Lou, we used to have a, when I was in the state house, we had a Democrat speaker.
00:09:21.340You would probably be considered to be a moderate Republican now, if not a conservative in some areas, but his name was Jimmy Nafee and he's still alive.
00:09:29.000And he had a saying, he'd say, uh, he'd say, Tim, if you didn't want to work, you shouldn't have hired on.
00:09:34.400And, you know, it's, you know, when you're in the majority, you, you run, if you've got a clear majority, you run the show, you know, and, and the lobbyists are loving you and taking you out to dinner.
00:09:43.980If you're a chairman, but if you're in the minority and, uh, and, you know, a lot of these guys are comfortable in that role.
00:09:49.380They just switch it out every two or four years and they are, you know, they, they get, they get greased by the lobbyists legally, of course.
00:09:57.740And they go on the nice trips cause they're friendly with the Democrats and they go home to their Reagan day or Lincoln day dinners and throw out the red meat.
00:10:05.000And every two years they get reelected and they're comfortable in that role.
00:10:09.180But, you know, now the gloves are off.
00:10:32.960Uh, and he is, uh, not only, uh, I mean, he is, uh, he is just contemptible.
00:10:39.700Uh, in my opinion, lower than a snake's belly because of what he is doing quite, uh, out of peak and, uh, uh, pettiness against his, uh, his party that was supposedly his party.
00:10:51.660We're talking with Congressman Tim Burchett, great American, and we'll be right back with him in two seconds.
00:10:58.520Well, a little longer, but stay with us nonetheless.
00:11:00.920Folks, you know, I beg everyone to get ready for the next crisis, and when it comes, our lives will likely change overnight, whether it's natural disaster, war, or another disease.
00:11:15.820We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.
00:11:20.700We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals.
00:11:26.120With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.
00:11:32.300And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.
00:11:38.180Our 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.
00:11:47.580And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved ones.
00:11:53.080This 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.
00:12:03.680From tick bites to biochemical events, every medical scenario is covered.
00:12:39.200We're talking with Congressman Tim Burchard.
00:12:41.620Congressman, you've probably surmised from what I said that I hold Mike Gallagher in low regard.
00:12:49.320As a matter of fact, there are rocks that I think more of than I do Gallagher.
00:12:54.640For him to be a Marine, an ex-Marine to me, is a disgrace.
00:12:58.320I mean, I find him so objectionable, I cannot tell you.
00:13:02.920I'm surprised that he got through the Marine Corps, to be real honest with you, because he doesn't have the character one expects of a Marine.
00:13:30.200Well, I couldn't agree with you more on the fact that we need somebody to call him out at our leadership level.
00:13:37.080And I would say kick him out now because the timing is that he will resign after the point of where we can have an election and then put somebody in that spot.
00:15:55.720I think the American public will respect that.
00:15:58.040Ronald Reagan closed the government down eight times in his eight years.
00:16:02.860So I think that's something we ought to remember.
00:16:05.700And the problem we have is we take what the left-wing media says and then we just sort of let that hang.
00:16:12.980Instead of getting out and saying what's at stake, just naming the number of people that have died from fentanyl,
00:16:20.020talking about the $400 billion a year we're paying, where American soldiers or veterans being kicked out of shelters so illegals can be housed,
00:16:31.900talking about the people's jobs, talking about the fentanyl, the deaths, the unnecessary deaths that have come over the border.
00:16:37.480That's the issues we ought to be making, Lou, but we don't have the guts to do it.
00:16:41.980I get out there and scream about it, and I know people just roll their eyes.
00:16:45.000I'm sure they're not rolling their eyes.
00:16:51.540I appreciate you saying that, but sometimes I don't really feel that because it seems some of my colleagues just sort of forget those facts when they get on there.
00:16:59.540They want to talk about compromises, and compromise is what got us into this mess.
00:17:04.480They always want to talk compromise when we're in the majority or we think we're in the majority.
00:17:34.980Yeah, and let them hear from you no matter what.
00:17:39.220You know, by the way, I got a kick out of – you know,
00:17:41.300you watch this Lloyd Austin, the former general, walk around puffed up, and, I mean, you can tell he thinks he's just about as important as it gets.
00:17:50.460And he's – and he, you know, is just blabbing about the force size and everything else he's lost.
00:17:58.980They haven't been able to meet a recruiting goal since he's been there.
00:18:02.060He's woke the whole military up, which means he's put every warrior to sleep.
00:18:09.540They decided that they're bringing back veterans now over there because they can't recruit young people because they're too smart to get in that woke mess.
00:18:17.960And I can't blame a single one of them for not wanting to serve under these fools.
00:18:21.960And then you've got good old Lloyd Austin and all the generals who are so full of themselves who can't win a war, but by golly, they got fancy uniforms and they get to go around in G-650s and fancy cars.
00:18:37.120And I – and now they're bringing back retired veterans for crying out loud because nobody will come serve with them because they're such ignorant fools.
00:18:47.240And what they've done to our military is criminal.
00:18:49.920They should be prosecuted, not in any way saluted.
00:18:54.420I mean, it's outrageous what these people have done.
00:18:57.720Your – and by the way, the one picture they had up, the veteran with a big pink flag or whatever it was, a rainbow flag, and in halfway uniform.
00:20:00.720The thing is, though, it's just so crazy that you think – it can't get any crazier.
00:20:06.860And then Easter Sunday, the most sacred day of the Christian year, the day we celebrate Jesus rising from the dead, forgiving us for our sins.
00:20:17.660Outside of the virgin birth, that's pretty much it, you know?
00:20:20.900And they cram this thing down our throat with a mental illness, and, you know, it's just beyond me.
00:20:30.340I think, how much more of this are we going to take, and when are we going to wake up?
00:20:34.340Well, I'm not going to take any more of it, I'll be honest with you.
00:20:36.760I'm going to call it exactly as I please, and I'm going to say it the way I mean it.
00:20:41.900By the way, that may sound like what I've done my whole career, but that's what I'm doing.
00:20:45.640I mean, when you think about it, these cowards in that White House, that Biden White House, he didn't have the guts to admit that – anyway, speaking of the commercial break, we're in it, and we'll be right back.
00:21:51.860We've got people walking around thinking they're the prettiest things on the sidewalk who are just ugly and stupid, and they look like something out of a freak show or a carnival.
00:22:00.000And people go, all right, great, good.
00:22:05.820The reality is we've got people who couldn't pass a simple test in their high schools.
00:22:12.280We're putting them in the streets by the millions.
00:22:15.700And if we don't have enough of those, Biden is bringing in millions of others from the streets and wherever it be, Colombia, Honduras, you name it.
00:22:29.480And we have our Congress saying, you know, it's just another day, and, boy, this is going to be great if you just get us to Election Day.
00:22:37.020But meanwhile, to your point, the voter rolls are being filled up with these millions of illegal aliens who are going to be voting on November 5th, which, by the way, it's the greatest idea I ever heard.
00:22:50.400President Trump saying that is going to be Christian Visibility Day, November 5th this year.
00:22:58.980Well, yeah, every 100 days we add a trillion dollars to our debt.
00:23:03.180But I think that that pretty much sums it up, Lou.
00:23:07.160This one is for everything, top to bottom, every race.
00:23:12.080And if Americans don't show up, they don't have some traditional values that actually honor and respect our history and our flag, then I think we're going to lose everything.
00:23:56.600Ask God to save us one more time, and then, dadgummit, get to the polls and start voting.
00:24:03.900Well, I think when you get to the polls, you ought to be there to watch that poll counting, to get involved in the election, go down to your precinct, be an observer, do whatever it takes, but get into that and be a participant in this, not a victim and not a watcher, an observer.
00:24:25.360That's the way people get their front teeth knocked out.
00:24:54.140And by the way, you know, in this terrible earthquake in Taiwan, nine Chinese PLA Navy vessels circling the island right after the earthquake, 30 aircraft, their latest aircraft flying over Taiwan, the Taiwanese defense zone.
00:25:14.360And by the way, that followed, well, the earthquake, obviously, the aftermath of the earthquake and a very important phone call between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping.
00:25:24.660Now, what do you think the message was?
00:25:26.640And do you think we'll ever know what they talked about?
00:25:29.540Because we still haven't learned what they talked about the previous two times.
00:25:33.040I suspect it's some sort of apology or backing down by our president.
00:25:53.800When they see a bunch of men in dresses waving some flag that's not Malou, I think they realize what's going on.
00:26:02.140They know and they know that this election, if they get Biden in one more time, that they're going to they stand a very good chance of turning this country into a third world country.
00:26:19.840If we are allowed to elect who we want to be president, we'll see if the CIA and the intelligence communities and the Marxist Dems and the and the satanic Biden regime allow we the people to actually have a vote this this year.
00:26:36.880I think that if we get to the polls and get to make sure we're there to watch and participate fully, we've got a good shot at it.
00:26:45.120Nonetheless, as always, Congressman Birchard, thanks for being with us.
00:26:49.040Thanks for everything you're doing for the country.
00:26:50.760And I just had an image as you were talking about the the the admirals and dresses and the all of the nonsense that these people are doing.
00:27:00.200And I know I don't remember of a single, single battalion from World War Two or the Vietnam War that had a rainbow as their company standards.
00:27:11.880But maybe I just forgot people need to get their heads on and really quick in this country.
00:27:32.120And if we don't wake up and get to the polls and quit worrying about what people think and just trust your conscience, ask God what you need to be doing on Election Day.
00:27:42.060And I guarantee you it's not sitting on your butt watching the view.
00:27:45.640It's getting out and getting involved.
00:27:47.840A lot of people gave everything they had.
00:27:49.700My uncle fought, died in the hedgerows shortly after D-Day.
00:27:57.220They sent him home and he went back basic in his 30s, rose to the level of sergeant, got killed, never got to have a family, never had anything.
00:28:05.440My dad went over there and fought and killed people.
00:28:07.580These rifles behind me are taking off dead Japanese soldiers.
00:28:12.480So, you know, I mean, I've seen the cost in my family.
