00:00:38.880Just yesterday, I sat down and talked with Congressman Tim Burchett on his podcast, Tennessee Talks, to discuss the state of distress this nation is in under the Biden regime's rule.
00:00:51.500We discussed the path forward and how we can save this nation from total Marxist destruction.
00:00:57.720Here is my sit down with Congressman Burchett.
00:01:00.600Lou, thank you for joining me on Tennessee Talks.
00:01:30.180So as to what we're going to talk about, what we're going to hear about tonight in terms of the State of the Union, when we get to the State of the Union, after three years of Biden, the state can only be accurately described as stressed and distressed.
00:01:49.540It is, I can't imagine what glowing words he could offer the American people that would in any way change their understanding or their view of what this man has done to the country.
00:02:03.460On that point, I suspect he's not going to be entirely truthful.
00:02:09.160So I have minimal expectations of what we'll see or what we'll witness.
00:02:13.320And I think really the only real benefit I can imagine is just seeing how hilariously he deviates from what is obvious, obviously a nation in crisis.
00:02:25.520You know, a lot's been made about his cognitive skills and level.
00:02:33.340And I've gone from being angry about it after having conversations with him just to having pity, really.
00:02:44.220Do you think he'll be able to put a sentence together during this thing that will actually make some sense?
00:02:51.840You know, it just seems he's tapered off so much as of late and you watch it unfold from when he was and you've seen all the tapes.
00:03:00.700I'm sure he'll he'll get it together, but it just seems towards the end it will it will run out.
00:03:06.040And one thing I noticed during his last State of the Union address, Lou, was that he talked through the applause.
00:03:13.660And I was told by some folks in the know and some medical folks that he probably if he's he's whatever he's taking or doing, it allows him just a certain amount of time.
00:03:28.260And they know that. And maybe that is why he talked through the applause the last time, because generally, you know, a politician, you're going to.
00:03:35.400Yeah, I mean, applause for me is so rare that I'm going to I'm going to kind of revel in it or relish it and I'm going to let it go, you know, but but he just seemed to the last time.
00:03:45.460And it was it was just very uncomfortable. And and I worry about that.
00:03:51.600Well, you would think as sparse as the applause usually is for this president, that he would want to pause and just sort of see if he could tire him out until they did start clapping.
00:04:02.480But he goes the other way. I guess he's given up on the on the prospect and decides that applause line in those scripts is just a fiction of the writer's imagination.
00:04:12.940I I cannot imagine what goes through this man's mind as he stumbles onto a stage.
00:04:20.860He has to be assisted. But, you know, at the same time, he has miraculously at times, which suggests to me that there is serious chemical support for whatever he's doing.
00:04:34.580He suddenly comes out of it and lasts for maybe a half hour to 45 minutes and seems entirely perhaps not entirely, but more rational than at any other time.
00:04:48.640And you would think after watching him for a period of weeks is leading up to that moment.
00:04:53.220They're shooting him up with something. I think it's just got to be there's just no question about it.
00:04:58.580I. I've seen it too many times on this deal, how it just all of a sudden the lights go off and then it's just this blank stare.
00:05:10.660Bidenomics, that's a phrase that I guess they brought up, but I mean, they're going to hang them with it.
00:05:16.840How's that work for you? And what do you think it's how do you think it's worked for the average American?
00:05:21.520I see folks spending several hundred more dollars a month, not a year, a month than they did under Trump just for groceries, just to stay alive.
00:05:32.700I saw some economics guru was talking and and they corrected him and said, oh, no, no, this he was, you know, it's just it's just the price of of of groceries that have gone up that he was referring to.
00:05:48.980As if that was something good, you know, and it was still hundreds of dollars, you know, you can make excuses for this, but it's it's deficit spending.
00:05:58.700It's just the ridiculous money we're throwing around overseas, borrowing from the Chinese, you know, telling Trump he can't have four billion.
00:06:06.900And then giving this guy one hundred and fourteen billion to throw at Ukraine plus.
00:06:11.660And then we know how much and then we had over 50 incidences where we think they've stolen the money.
00:06:17.680So what's your thoughts on Bidenomics?
00:06:20.780Well, Bidenomics is an interesting term for what has been a disastrous three years of Biden economic policy.
00:06:28.180Gene Sperling, one of the president's august economics advisor, recently is staring into the camera from the White House lawn, was regaling everyone with the idea that, you know, really, this is a lot of nonsense about not much that people really are doing well, despite what their paychecks may tell them, what their prices they're looking at.
00:06:51.920And he actually said this, he said, you know, if you don't include food, if you don't include the shelter, rent and mortgage payments, if you don't include all of the basics of life, you know, it's not too bad.
00:07:06.180And I thought that was probably the the the brightest outlook you can have for what has been a disastrous inflationary economy that is compounded in the in the pressures it's putting on the American working man and woman, their families, the middle class, because of these high food prices.
00:07:28.440Everything is up double digits, everybody knows it and they can try to hide the statistics in any way they want to.
00:07:36.460But those statistics show up at the cash register and there isn't an American paying any attention when he or she goes to a retail store of any sort that doesn't know what's happening.
00:07:49.160And everyone is we're losing purchasing power. We've got the government's hand in our pockets, in our wallets.
00:07:55.800And it's that simple because these policies, I mean, the Inflation Reduction Act, are you kidding me?
00:08:02.280They name things the opposite of what they are. It was the Inflation Stimulation Act.
00:08:08.220This is an administration that has now got us running.
00:08:12.600Is it two trillion dollars in deficit every year, every hundred days, the national debt goes up a hundred trillion dollars.
00:08:24.580I mean, it doesn't take long for all of this, as they used to say, to add up.
00:08:28.780It only takes now 300 of those days to put us 10 percent higher in our national debt.
00:08:35.480We right now have the largest national debt by a factor of seven in the country, in the world.
00:08:45.140And there's no country even close to us. And we're at 126 percent of our GDP.
00:08:51.680I mean, it sounds pretty good to have 34, 34 trillion dollars in debt, doesn't it?
00:08:57.160I mean, you get the, and then you look at the size of the economy, and that's, that is 25 percent less than the debt.
00:09:24.580Well, it is. I remember when the NRA used to say, Charlton Heston is my president.
00:09:30.900And I said, well, no, not really, but just president of the NRA.
00:09:35.500Yeah, that, I have tried to bolster our speaker's confidence on these things.
00:09:42.460I'm worried about this next omnibus spending package, of course, that we're, we'll be voting on, I'm sure.
00:09:49.740And, you know, one thing I am glad, though, we have started breaking down the bills.
00:09:55.700And that's one thing that the, that we've had some success in.
00:10:00.700Now we just, I'm liking the process a little better, but the product still stinks.
00:10:06.660And, you know, I saw where Schumer has a million dollars in there for some kind of a environmental awareness center in New York, like we need that.
00:10:16.620He ought to be looking for jobs for New York and maybe not having so many illegal aliens up there and quit and put 53 million, 53 million dollars in credit cards for illegals.
00:10:29.960It's something that even our veterans don't get.
00:10:33.460It's just, you know, these, these campaign ads are writing themselves unless, you know, these states are run by Marxists.
00:10:41.680I don't know how they're going to, I don't know how they're going to keep electing these people, but they imagine that somehow they managed to do it.
00:11:23.060She found out her child had a rare chromosome disorder.
00:11:25.820You know, I, I've got a couple, I've got a couple of, um, of my kinfolk that the, the mama was told, their mama was told that, that these kids were going to be in bad shape.
00:12:05.680I don't get his, I mean, I don't realize he's rallying his base with this thing, with the abortion issue, but it's, um, to me, it just doesn't seem what America needs to be hearing right now.
00:12:20.100Well, one of the things that the State of the Union address is being inspirational, uh, and, and bringing people together in the, in their pride for this nation.
00:12:30.060Uh, but his challenge is that he has done nothing.
00:12:34.020There is not a single policy, whether it's foreign policy, domestic policy, whether it is fiscal policy, uh, economic policy.
00:12:41.800I mean, you go through the line and there isn't, as you well know, a single thing he's done that is in the interest of the American working man and woman, their families, the middle class, or for that matter, the entire nation.
00:13:04.700He puts us into a potential war by putting in the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions into the Eastern flank of Europe to be ready to go into Ukraine.
00:13:16.020The men and his advisors, Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor, uh, Anthony Blinken, the secretary of state, Lloyd Austin.
00:13:25.280I mean, are these the people you want to go to war with?
00:13:28.220You know, Donald Rumsfeld used to say, you don't, you go to war with the army you have, not the one you want.
00:13:33.860Well, let me tell you, I don't want this.
00:13:35.540I don't want this military and I don't want these leaders going to war.
00:13:39.840It scares, Congressman, it scares me to death.
00:13:43.000The thing we would have, uh, a, uh, an enfeeble, uh, impaired, compromised, uh, president like this leading us as commander in chief with the people that he's selected.
00:13:55.160And, uh, he works, he works for China.
00:14:03.680He's turned over 2000 miles of border to the cartels.
00:14:07.700Uh, so it's going to be very interesting, uh, to see how the national media reacts because they're starting to show signs.
00:14:15.200I think, I don't know what you think, but I think they're starting to show signs of being a little disenchanted, uh, with this, uh, compromised, uh, impaired, uh, puppet president.
00:14:25.920Who is nothing more than a Marxist and a sellout to whoever was the highest bidder.
00:14:47.720And of course, my dad fought the Japanese and mama flew an airplane during the war.
00:14:52.360So I, um, I think about our military and I think about every time I watch a video from this clown show and they have somebody in the military, some man in a dress or, you know, it just, they just demoralized everything that we, we stand on as a country.
00:15:10.040And I, I, and I honestly think, I used to think it was, some of it was by accident, but now I don't think any of it's by accident, Lou.
00:15:18.260They want to destroy what we consider, we hold near and dear to our hearts and they, um, and they're doing a pretty darn good job of it in the last three years.
00:16:29.500We saw what happened in 2020 when we found ourselves dependent on global supply chains.
00:16:34.260We're still dependent on China and other countries for more than 90% of all our pharmaceuticals.
00:16:39.900With clusters of respiratory illnesses popping up around the world and here, we need to be prepared.
00:16:45.980And now is the time to make certain you have what your family needs when the next crisis hits.
00:16:51.860Our 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.
00:17:01.020And now the Wellness Company's medical kit provides a solution critical to you and your loved ones.
00:17:06.960This 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.
00:17:17.360From tick bites to biochemical events, every medical scenario is covered.
00:18:46.080They're just passing it on to everybody else because some people made some decisions that they're, you know, they're they're basket weaving major.
00:18:56.980But just say basket weaving major, you know, there are four years of undergraduate is not paying.
00:19:03.300And they're they're working as a barista down here at one of the coffee shops.
00:19:08.440You know, to me, it just doesn't make sense that we're passing this on to people.
00:19:13.900And for them to claim a success to me is just it's just ridiculous.
00:19:19.520Obviously, none of these kids that are defending this are accounting majors or they would explain to you that, in fact, this money has to come from somewhere.
00:19:30.580It'd be kind of interesting to find out which majors are seeking this debt forgiveness in the greatest numbers.
00:19:36.880But, you know, it's really a squeeze for our universities.
