00:00:00.000 hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us thanks so
00:00:06.600 much for joining us and thanks for bearing with me through these uh times where i'm fighting a
00:00:10.960 terrible cold but still coming out here and trying to make it work uh hopefully this thing will be
00:00:15.520 done soon another great day in america because in just over a month or so president trump is coming
00:00:21.200 back to the white house joe biden is lame duck as he's been i guess for the last four almost four
00:00:27.760 years uh still trying to fight for some sort of legacy now if you look at the legacy the thing 0.97
00:00:33.820 that sticks to my mind is him pardoning his drug addict criminal son um other people look at it
00:00:39.980 and think of uh all the economic issues he's given us record high inflation um just collapse all down
00:00:47.400 the board whether you go to fill up your car you go to buy groceries anywhere you go things are more
00:00:51.680 expensive now than they were four years ago but uh joe biden thinks he's going to hold on to that
00:00:56.580 that he's leaving president trump with some sort of great economy take a listen to president joe biden
00:01:02.060 this week touting what he's leaving behind to president trump last month i spoke to the economic
00:01:07.980 club of washington to see about the pivotal actions we took to rescue the economy from the devastating harm
00:01:13.320 caused by the uh by that way that in my view the pandemic was handled and how we delivered immediate
00:01:20.000 economic relief to those most in need we got back to full employment got inflation back down
00:01:26.140 manage a soft landing that most people thought was not very much likely to happen today here at
00:01:34.240 perkins institution i'd like to talk about pivotal actions we've taken to rebuild the economy for the
00:01:39.520 long haul you know and how we're how we're at a critical in my view moment in the direction of the
00:01:45.460 economy it's going to take next month my administration will end and a new administration will begin
00:01:51.580 most economists agree the new administration is going to inherit a fairly strong economy
00:01:57.220 at least at the moment an economy going through fundamental transformation
00:02:01.600 that's laid out a stronger foundation and sustainable broad-based highly productive growth
00:02:07.580 that is my profound hope that the new administration will preserve and build
00:02:12.280 on this progress like most great economic developments this one is neither red nor blue
00:02:18.680 and america's progress is everyone's progress well it's clear um he was reading off of teleprompter
00:02:27.020 there and not really sure what he was saying because uh he's leaving behind inflation that's through the roof
00:02:33.720 and a teetering stock market that can go either way it seems now it's decided which way it's going to go
00:02:39.080 because president trump's decisive victory on november 5th um the uh the stock market and the people
00:02:44.900 who invested in wall street and all those folks uh know that president trump is going to give us
00:02:49.820 four years uh prosperity um and that's why the markets are doing so well president trump also
00:02:56.580 announcing this week that anyone who wants to invest in america uh infrastructure or build anything
00:03:02.240 in america and you're going to spend over a billion dollars all of your permits and everything
00:03:06.260 you need to do will be expedited um i can't think of a better way to start stimulating an economy
00:03:11.680 uh by expediting uh he says especially if it's anything environmental uh you'll be expedited so
00:03:18.520 i can't think of a better way to jump start an economy than by doing just that so president
00:03:22.640 as i was saying just reading off a teleprompter um midway through that speech he did lose that
00:03:27.800 teleprompter and we'll take a listen to what happened to him when that happened and you know
00:03:32.080 one of the things that's going on here they just turned off my
00:03:34.760 i'm gonna go on i lost the electricity here anyway one of the things we found is that
00:03:43.120 you know we uh we we invented this i mean here were the computer chip size of the tip of your little
00:03:49.440 finger he lost electricity there you know i don't know if his staff does this on purpose but i've never
00:03:57.820 seen a teleprompter go out as many times in my life uh than i have watched it go out on joe biden
00:04:04.280 when he's giving some sort of crucial speech to the nation or to a group of people um either he's got
00:04:10.160 the worst luck in the world which uh it seems he's got some pretty bad luck uh or his staff is playing
00:04:16.320 some sick mind games on him and they like watching him struggle without the teleprompter because
00:04:21.180 watching him speak and how many times it's happened to him over the course of his presidency
00:04:25.240 is remarkable um we also have a new report out the trump shooting task force unveils its bombshell
00:04:32.260 final report what they call was a preventable assassination attempt on president trump the
00:04:37.600 180 page report claims that the deadly shooting at president trump's butler pennsylvania rally on july
00:04:42.300 13th was quote preventable and should have never happened um this is from the acting secret service
00:04:48.500 director uh ronald roe of course the report comes after he got into that screaming match last week
00:04:54.480 with congress uh congressman pat fallon of texas as when when fallon asked about the abject failures
00:05:01.660 that happened that day uh roe took it you know a little wrong and and went berserk and they got into
00:05:08.040 the whole shouting mouth match then uh but roe did acknowledge at the hearing that the agency's
00:05:14.000 abject failure in july was a result is what the shooting resulted in um telling us what we already knew
00:05:20.900 now when will the head start to roll uh when are we going to start to get some accountability for
00:05:26.200 what happened on that day um we had a leading presidential candidate former president as well
00:05:31.500 and future president almost have his head taken off because of their abject failure so are we supposed
00:05:37.780 to just sit back and say ah you know it is what it is it was an accident and um we just hope that
00:05:44.140 things get better in the secret service and the federal government because i think that's what it
00:05:48.280 seems is going to happen um as accountability never happens in this federal government also some things
00:05:56.340 happening on capitol hill this week um joni ernst is making her rounds with some of president trump's
00:06:01.720 cabinet picks that she's not too fond of pete hegseth and um cash patel and um tulsi gabbard among
00:06:10.220 the few that she's met with it seems she's starting to come around and realize that she is up for
00:06:14.720 election in 2026 but i don't care if joni ernst is ultimately decides that she's going to vote to 0.89
00:06:20.340 confirm these folks the fact that she's embarrassing the republican party in the first place um is enough 0.99
00:06:27.120 for me to say enough is enough this woman needs to be primaried you want to put on a fight that's fine 1.00
00:06:33.220 go do it on your own time go join the democratic party where you belong because you're a democrat
00:06:37.240 the democrats are united we see how many democrats voted against joe biden's picks even the tranny at 0.99
00:06:43.900 hhs you go down the list people unqualified for positions pete buddha judge clearly unqualified to
00:06:50.000 be at transportation you look at the mess that he's created over there um and no democrats voted against
00:06:56.880 any of these folks yet you have rhinos like joni ernst where her her big issue with um pete hegseth is that 1.00
00:07:04.160 she wants that job well i can tell you senator and you're never getting that job i can guarantee you 0.90
00:07:09.440 what is it peter peter struck and lisa page say i can guarantee it a hundred to one you're never
00:07:15.440 getting that job um so for me she wants to go ahead and do this and cause this embarrassment that's 1.00
00:07:20.660 fine that's enough to primary her and hopefully the folks in her home state of iowa go ahead and do 1.00
00:07:25.240 just that the republican party needs to rid the party of these uh people that just keep bringing 0.96
00:07:31.820 them down and bringing them down president trump and i say this every single day because it's the
00:07:37.000 truth had a decisive victory on november 5th over 50 percent of americans voting voted for him he won
00:07:44.200 the electoral college um senate seats they took back the senate they held the house you look at races all
00:07:51.940 across this country decisive victories states like florida turning uh counties miami barred red for the
00:07:59.240 first time in years um you can go down the laundry list as many republicans in florida voting now than
00:08:05.360 ever it was a decisive victory for president trump so if you're joni ernst and you're one of these rhinos 0.87
00:08:10.880 uh who just wants to play spoiler that's fine go join the democratic party we don't want you
00:08:16.620 and for the voters in iowa remember this when you go to vote if there is a primary for joni ernst remember
00:08:22.660 uh your decisive voice of sending president trump with how many points president trump won that state
00:08:29.480 by remember that when you go to vote and remember the trouble that this lady's putting us through 0.99
00:08:34.480 uh for trump's cabinet picks all of them are far more qualified than anybody joe biden put forward
00:08:39.640 um in uh his administration so just remember that folks i ask you please because it's important
00:08:46.540 um also happening this week uh we've got the shooter uh mr uh luigi uh mangione the man who shot
00:08:53.660 the and killed the ceo of united healthcare we're now getting some more details as to what exactly
00:08:59.080 may have driven him the motive that had made him want to shoot that ceo we now learn that he had a back
00:09:06.380 surgery some time ago with metal screws and plates being placed in his back and it has caused some adverse
00:09:12.840 effects on him not allowing him to be sexually active this could have been one of the contributing
00:09:18.180 factors as to why he decided he was going to go ahead and do this heinous act um we also have uh the
00:09:26.060 letter that he has left behind for the cops to find uh after that shooting i'm gonna go ahead and read it to
00:09:32.680 you here for everyone joining us on video you have it right there in front of you on the screen uh for
00:09:37.440 all you folks who are joining us on audio um i'll go ahead and read along to you and this is from
00:09:41.720 uh mr luigi mangione the man accused of shooting the ceo of uh united healthcare quote to the feds
00:09:49.820 i'll keep this short because i do respect what you do for our country to save you a lengthy investigation
00:09:54.540 i state plainly that i wasn't working with anyone this is a fairly trivial some elementary social
00:09:59.880 engineering basic cat and a lot of patients the spiral notebook if present has some staggering notes
00:10:05.880 and to-do lists that illuminate the gist of it my tech is pretty locked down because i work in
00:10:10.900 engineering so probably not much info in there i do apologize for any strife and traumas but it had
00:10:16.500 to be done frankly these parasites simply had it coming a reminder the u.s has the number one most
00:10:22.400 expensive healthcare system in the world yet we rank roughly number 42 in life expectancy united
00:10:28.360 speaking of united healthcare united is the largest company in the u.s by market cap behind only google
00:10:34.380 apple apple and walmart it has grown and has grown but our life expectancy no the reality is these
00:10:41.300 have simply in decipherable words have simply gotten too powerful and they continue to abuse our country
00:10:47.900 for the immense profit because the american public has allowed them to get away with it
00:10:52.220 obviously the problem is more complex but i do not have space and i frankly do not pretend to be the
00:10:58.120 most qualified person to lay out the full argument but many have illuminated the corruption
00:11:02.380 and greed decades ago and the problems simply remain it is not an issue of awareness but at this point
00:11:08.360 but clearly power games at play evidently i'm the first person to face it with such brutal honesty 0.79
00:11:14.860 so clearly this gentleman a sick sick fella um apparently admitting to the acts of killing that ceo 0.66
00:11:24.960 trying to save them some time um you know i say this often on shows it seems the last four years 0.98
00:11:30.500 uh people i don't know if it's the water but people have seemingly been going off the rails
00:11:35.660 we watched that happen also we watched this week a man buy a car from a car dealership try to return
00:11:42.380 it they wouldn't return it so he drove the vehicle through the front windshield of the place got out
00:11:46.060 and told everyone in there he'd kill them all so uh hopefully we start to see a turnaround in this
00:11:51.260 country the hate level of hate um and things that go on have got to stop hopefully with president 0.96
00:11:58.080 trump now back in office uh things will get a lot better hopefully we'll see a lot of things
00:12:02.840 changing in congress as well our guest today is congressman tim birchard of the great state of
00:12:07.480 tennessee uh he's a member of the house oversight committee the powerful house oversight committee
00:12:12.200 and he's a great great american congressman birchard i appreciate you joining us back here on the
00:12:17.860 great america show it's always great to have you with us um i want to start with first we're about
00:12:22.680 to enter the hundredth 19th congress in just a few weeks donald trump is coming back to the white
00:12:27.940 house i know you take big issue with the spending on capitol hill you always put out a funny little 0.97
00:12:33.300 video walking out of the capitol saying we just wasted more of your damn money are you guys going 0.92
00:12:37.720 to be able to get a budget through this congress no why i don't get it why why is it seemingly so 0.98
00:12:47.200 impossible because nobody really wants it they call they pass a cr the best thing they can do is drop a
00:12:53.380 3 000 page um budget or amend spending cr whatever um two hours before we're supposed to vote on it
00:13:03.120 because nobody everybody just checks to see which lobbyists they need degrees or what bridge to know
00:13:07.960 where they want to build and that gamut they vote for it that's why we're 35 or 36 trillion dollars in
00:13:13.400 debt we don't have the guts to do it we need to do like we do in tennessee single issue spending bills
00:13:19.260 so do you think i mean even with president trump here now the chief negotiator the man if we ever
00:13:25.860 have peace with north korea if we ever have peace with iran it's going to be from donald trump's doing
00:13:30.400 you don't think donald trump is going to be able to with mike johnson get something clean through that
00:13:35.540 we don't constantly have to keep going after these cr after cr after crs we hadn't passed the budget in
00:13:41.320 over 30 years nobody really wants a budget i do i mean the american public does when they're
00:13:46.840 explained it but they they get their road paved or they get their whatever sports park built they uh
00:13:55.320 they just keep voting for the same people that deliver the goods yeah it's seemingly it's it's i
00:14:00.460 don't know it's uh you're usually a little bit more optimistic about things but i guess we really
00:14:06.040 ain't getting one if tim birch is sitting here telling me uh hell no it ain't happening uh you know it's
00:14:10.740 just so troubling to me that we look at this time and time again we look at this federal government
00:14:14.540 time and time again and where the money goes the transgender issues how much money tim have we spent
00:14:21.400 going after president trump and his family how much money has the fbi wasted how much money has new york
00:14:27.580 been appropriated that we've spent um going after president trump if you put the two investigations
00:14:33.620 together between muller and uh jack smith it's got to be over a hundred million dollars spent
00:14:39.140 the wasteful spent and guess what the craziest part about it all of it none of it was approved by
00:14:43.940 congress am i correct no you're correct um you know what we you know this doge committee claims
00:14:50.160 they're going to cut two trillion dollars out we had a trillion dollars every hundred days to the debt 0.87
00:14:55.020 we're at like 35 or 36 trillion up here what we've got to do is what doge has got to do is spot
00:15:02.580 areas where the bureaucrats have put things in place without legislative support or a vote
00:15:09.380 what's been done in previous presidents republicans and democrats alike for my executive orders that's
00:15:18.040 what we got to do and then once we get that then we're gonna i think that's a good start but the
00:15:25.100 problem you're gonna have is is that this congress has got to follow behind with with legislation to
00:15:31.620 make these things permanent and so that they don't happen again that's going to be the real real
00:15:37.940 when the real cutting's got to happen and then we got to start going after everything everything
00:15:43.860 should be suspect put it on the table let's break it down let's do all of our our programs out there
00:15:50.320 that are sacred cows and let's make sure they're doing what they're supposed to be doing and figure 0.98
00:15:55.140 out a way to make them fiscally responsible are you confident i know we've had this conversation
00:16:01.300 many times you've had this conversation with lou um you were one of the brave few stood up against
00:16:06.440 kevin mccarthy are you confident in mike johnson's ability to be able to lead this conference um through
00:16:12.380 the ups and downs it's going to be turbulent it's not going to be easy by any means but are you confident
00:16:17.200 that mike johnson has the america first agenda at least up his sleeve that he's going to use
00:16:23.520 trump loves him and if trump follows our our lead or we follow his lead i think we're going to be
00:16:31.480 okay but once we start down that spending path of saying let's do it this time and then we'll get
00:16:36.200 them next time you know there is no next time we've been doing that that's been promised to us too many
00:16:41.720 times by too many republicans democrats and republicans so you know we better get some guts
00:16:47.820 and better do what's right the thing that scares the hell out of me about uh mike johnson is he ran
00:16:54.360 become speaker he became speaker and then one of his first acts was to send ukraine money i mean
00:17:00.100 after running saying there's no aid for ukraine one of his first acts of betrayal is to go ahead
00:17:07.140 and fund ukraine i mean yeah you know i'm not asking you to sit here and badmouth the guy but i just
00:17:12.380 can't seem to understand how we can trust him i don't i i'm not voting for any money for ukraine
00:17:19.180 you know we've given over 200 billion well we've sent them another 50 billion today apparently or
00:17:24.280 ready to we're claiming it's a loan throwing up the air quotes there um you know what do they got for
00:17:30.500 collateral uh you know this is the biggest money laundering scheme and then then liberals liberals
00:17:36.420 attack me and say virtue just doesn't understand 60 of that money is coming home yeah
00:17:42.040 60 of that money is paying war pimps you know it's the business of war and business is very good 1.00
00:17:48.380 don't we just give them 60 60 of the money take the other 40 put it in a cd somewhere you know 1.00
00:17:56.120 that's just stupid reasoning that shows you how ignorant they are and how much they hate this country 0.99
00:18:01.480 right and hate our way of life i mean they just you know these are supposedly educated people that make 1.00
00:18:07.240 these comments if it i tell you what if a republican was in white house and this and it started this
00:18:13.140 war they would not be voting for that money yeah you're absolutely you know the problem is congressman
00:18:18.620 and you're not one of them so this is why i can say it to you but if i talk to 99 of the conference
00:18:23.360 the problem is is this country is run by a group of lawyers i mean you look at what lawyers have done
00:18:29.100 to this country and i mean they've destroyed it at every i'm talking about a good majority of them
00:18:33.780 obviously not every single one of them but we have a country that's governed by lawyers who are 0.96
00:18:38.900 one it's dumber than the next none of them you look at who's running the federal reserve right now 0.90
00:18:43.240 jerome powell is not an economist he's running the federal reserve um and the spending's out of 0.94
00:18:48.360 control and none of these people know what to do it's the most unbelievable thing to me you
00:18:52.620 mentioned ukraine spending we're going to take a quick break here we're talking with congressman
00:18:55.580 tim birchin of the great state of tennessee when we come back i want to talk about some more money

00:20:14.000 a great american one of our favorite congress members on this show he was certainly lou's
00:20:18.960 favorite um congressman i want to turn to something that's very interesting to me secretary of state
00:20:25.540 anthony blinken on november 8th uh said it's in the national security's best interest of the united
00:20:30.860 states to waive the mandatory economic sanctions that bar iraq from a transferring upwards of 10 billion
00:20:36.780 dollars to iran in electric import payments so picking up um sanctions on iran upwards of 10
00:20:45.300 billion dollars iran is is the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in this world i mean you look at
00:20:51.140 anything that's going on wrong in the middle east and iran has their hand in it um what is joe biden's
00:20:56.820 plan as he leaves office now in a month and 10 days as it regards to starting another war overseas maybe
00:21:04.040 world war three again the war pimps are are really the puppet masters in this thing um i think trump
00:21:12.180 understood right he kept he kept us out of all these crazy wars and them breaking out all over the world
00:21:17.700 is economic power and he understood that he understood our energy capabilities and he used them to the
00:21:24.880 fullest extent that he could and that kept us out of these wars and you tell somebody that the spigots
00:21:31.480 getting ready to turn off of their oil they're going to back down every dadgum time and he could
00:21:38.040 do that he was a chess player and these clowns we got in washington now are are playing chess you know
00:21:44.980 it's really not hard to see congressman if you look at where lindsey graham agrees with the democrats if 0.79
00:21:51.160 you look at the um the intersecting point because lindsey i mentioned lindsey graham because lindsey
00:21:55.540 graham's one of the biggest war hawks uh republicans that you find on the senate side if you look at
00:22:00.760 the line where they intersect it's always at the military industrial complex um do you think we
00:22:08.180 see things start to clean up over there in the middle east over in ukraine and russia with president
00:22:12.920 trump now coming back to office like i said in in just over a month i do i think you'll start seeing
00:22:18.800 them move that way but that's why they're throwing all the money they can at them right now because
00:22:22.500 they know that that money spigots getting ready to be turned off and i don't think um
00:22:27.840 i i just don't think they're they'll be prepared to do much more war after trump gets in there i think
00:22:35.960 he will shut them down and i think he has a clear plan and it's pretty straightforward and he's going
00:22:41.180 to get on the phone and just tell them what he's going to do and dadgummit he'll do it right
00:22:45.720 uh speaking of foreign policy i consider this foreign policy too because it's been an issue
00:22:51.200 we've had here at the homeland for a very long time back to george bush and before him and it's
00:22:56.940 the southern border the cartels international terrorist organizations um what do you think
00:23:03.420 president trump is going to be able to do uh as it regards to the cartels as it regards the border wall
00:23:09.780 i think you'll see these countries that support these cartels are they're going to lose the support
00:23:15.340 again trump will put the economic might of the united states of america behind him and i think
00:23:22.120 he'll he'll put the wall you know it's it's like you got a hole in your boat you can bail only so much
00:23:27.620 you got to put a plug in that hole right he's gonna plug that hole day one and then get to bailing 0.52
00:23:32.740 and then he's going to start massive deportations and people are going to squeal and scream and all this
00:23:38.980 isn't what we signed up for with dadgummit is what we signed up for let's get all these
00:23:44.100 murdering thugs out of our dadgum country and there's there's extenuating circumstances with
00:23:50.980 everything but i think we've seen enough we've here we are we put over a billion fema dollars into these
00:23:58.000 folks apparently coming over what i was told and you know the people in upper upper east tennessee
00:24:04.300 north carolina and hawaii are still doing without so i think you're going to see a change in that
00:24:10.240 direction you're lucky to be living in tennessee up here in new york it's just floods floods of them
00:24:16.940 every single place you turn um a federal judge this week stopped the biden administration from
00:24:23.280 opening obamacare to illegal aliens there's another thing daca recipients it's unbelievable 0.62
00:24:30.060 this has been caught up in the supreme court now for so long daca is unconstitutional it's illegal
00:24:35.780 the supreme court has acknowledged that they yet they kick it down to lower courts because they
00:24:39.640 can't make a decision on it do you think this is something that we're going to be able to get
00:24:43.560 short under fire and i mean now we turn to providing health care to illegals yeah well if we if we were
00:24:52.120 limit if we eliminate them we don't have to worry about this issue um elections have consequences and
00:24:57.960 we've got to make sure we got somebody like trump in the off in the oval office to make sure that they
00:25:04.140 um these judicial picks which are like you know we had republican senators who were skipping the votes
00:25:10.920 and then we ended up with another lifelong liberal it'll be on the government dole and
00:25:17.640 he granted they'll overthrow a lot of their their stuff but it just costs people money and time and
00:25:23.360 and their lives to fight this stuff so we've gotta we've gotta start paying attention you know it
00:25:31.580 seems i don't know what's going on over the last four years but people are seemingly losing their
00:25:35.700 minds we saw a kid who went to upenn who came from a very rich family a rich background assassinate
00:25:43.320 a health care ceo because he said this the the health care industry is broken now i don't justify
00:25:48.120 what he did it was completely wrong he's wrong but the health care system is is broken in this
00:25:52.580 country i mean it's it's unimaginable when i left fox news congressman i was 27 years old
00:25:58.020 i had to buy health care for myself it was 800 there's no way in in any country should health care be
00:26:03.860 800 i go to the doctor maybe once a year for blood work it's truly a travesty in this country
00:26:10.100 that this is what it's come to but what people don't realize is that obamacare has driven
00:26:14.800 premiums through the damn roof before obamacare you were able to go on the market
00:26:19.460 and someone like me could have bought health care for three or four hundred dollars now it's 0.98
00:26:23.640 eight or nine hundred dollars can you explain to the people because a lot of people don't
00:26:27.160 understand what obamacare has done to the free market health care system well it's wrecked the
00:26:33.140 free market system and the republicans shame on us we are health care professionals that are up here
00:26:38.360 have not provided an alternative and that's what we got to have as an alternative you can tear stuff
00:26:43.800 down but you got to have something to take its place also we've allowed the as i like to say the
00:26:49.740 foxes are watching the dadgum hen house we've allowed we've allowed these uh you know these go
00:26:56.360 betweens enter i don't know what you want i forget the name of them pbms whatever they're in in between
00:27:02.860 um all this stuff and that jacks the price up as well more hands touch it every time you turn a piece
00:27:09.420 of paper it's going to cost you some money and somebody's got to get paid and they've they've
00:27:14.400 just screwed it up with the bureaucracy what you ought to have is insurance based on your age and
00:27:20.340 your health record and your doctor it pays for this pays this and this that you have a deductible
00:27:29.680 yep and then the people that can't get it will figure something out that's right on the head 0.99
00:27:35.620 you hit the nail on the head it's just too they've got too many people sucking at the at the tit 0.93
00:27:41.760 you're absolutely right and that's i i spoke to somebody about it today and it's same exact thing
00:27:47.360 there's too many cooks in the kitchen the price that negotiates the the health care companies 1.00
00:27:51.260 negotiate with the hospital is not the price that's reflected on your bill you'll see a bill for twelve
00:27:55.320 thousand dollars but the health care companies already negotiated a bill for five hundred dollars
00:27:58.760 where's the discrepancy now in in eleven thousand five hundred dollars the whole thing is a scam
00:28:03.460 and these people are making out like wet bandits we're going to take one more quick break here
00:28:07.320 we're coming back with congressman tim birchard of the great state of tennessee when we return
00:28:11.440 we're going to hope uh congressman birchard is back on his powerful uh oversight committee as
00:28:16.720 chairman james comer is coming back we're also hearing reports that um fbi director christopher
00:28:21.900 ray is going to be running for the hills before president trump is inaugurated we're going to see if
00:28:26.860 he can give us some insight on that when we come back stay with us folks
00:28:29.200 i'm excited to announce our christmas extravaganza is finally here get this season's flannel sheets for

00:29:28.420 over 75 or more ship absolutely free folks we're back we're talking to congressman tim birchin of
00:29:37.600 the great state of tennessee one of our great friends on this show great american uh congressman
00:29:43.040 i want to turn to some committee assignments as we enter now into the 119th congress it's been
00:29:49.120 announced that congressman james comer will continue to head up the powerful oversight committee i think
00:29:54.180 he did a fairly decent job uh his first time around he tried to do as much as he can as it came to the
00:29:59.780 biden crime family but he ran into some issues as expected the corrupt media didn't want to cover any of
00:30:05.000 the work he was doing no some loopholes and stuff like that will you be back on that committee
00:30:09.540 i hope so if um if enough people i guess inquire to the speaker i will i was fortunate enough to
00:30:16.780 be on that committee and i've thoroughly enjoyed it i guess we're gonna well that won't remain in 0.93
00:30:22.120 the unknown box you don't strike me actually i know you're not the kind of guy to go kiss ass to 0.97
00:30:27.040 get what you want so i know that's that's my biggest problem up here i don't raise enough money 0.97
00:30:33.140 for the conference and i don't kiss enough ass you know honestly if peyton manning was in congress i 0.97
00:30:40.300 mean if this was the nfl peyton manning would still be waiting to get in yeah so so what do you expect 0.89
00:30:47.140 and this is something i've been wondering do you expect chairman comer to pick up where he left off
00:30:52.700 president trump in an interview over the weekend said he is probably not going to go after joe biden
00:30:57.180 unless his doj finds something there something tells me they're probably going to find something
00:31:01.300 there do you expect that to be the path that comer goes down because of the way i interpreted it as
00:31:07.240 um as he wrapped up his investigations was he was pissed off and he had not gotten what he wanted and
00:31:12.840 what he wanted was hunter biden before the committee and hunter biden referred to the doj for criminal
00:31:18.080 referral and to be taken seriously because we didn't spend all this money and waste all this time
00:31:22.740 investigating these criminals for them to just now walk free do you think he's going to go down that
00:31:27.960 road what path do you think comer takes i think you go after joe biden he's just gonna
00:31:33.220 throw the mental issue his mental capacity it's gone and they'll use that as his i mean i'd have a hard
00:31:41.420 time saying that he's mentally competent right now yeah you're six months into this later that after next
00:31:47.320 year you're not going to get him in there you know we can say all that stuff we want all that tough talk
00:31:53.180 and people oh you need to impeach him well big deal hanging impeachment on him trump had two of them
00:31:58.960 on him he didn't kick you out of office you know and and so it it's just uh we we've cheapened it so
00:32:07.320 much now by the the garbage they tried to hang on trump i just uh i don't know i if they broke the law
00:32:14.080 these january 6th committee people broke the law bust them because if they hid evidence or
00:32:20.740 and use that to go after people i mean they put steve bannon in prison for goodness sakes
00:32:25.420 so i you know i i and i'm not happy about that we need to get to the bottom of that the people that
00:32:31.460 did that deserve deserve punishment i feel if if we give them we're not going to do like they do
00:32:37.960 we're going to be legitimate and give it a real and use the complete congress instead of some
00:32:45.480 political hack job which is all the january 6th committee was i say every day on this show i'm
00:32:51.300 not asking the republicans to break the law i'm not asking the republicans to recreate the law i'm
00:32:55.000 asking the republicans to follow the law and if they follow the law it's going to lead them to the holy
00:32:59.700 land because of what these people did it doesn't take a rocket scientist congressman to figure out
00:33:04.820 that every single republican who's on that committee is now seemingly out of congress if you believe you
00:33:10.480 were doing a good justice for the community for society you wouldn't have ran out of dodge you
00:33:15.360 would have rerun for your seats you would have done you know whatever you could to stay in power 0.95
00:33:19.080 to continue promoting whatever nonsense and garbage you believed in that wasn't true liz cheney now is 1.00
00:33:25.660 coming out saying she doesn't believe she can be uh indicted under anything she's also threatening 0.95
00:33:31.380 lawyers saying you can be ethically um cleansed and and looked into if you think you're going to come
00:33:38.880 after me for the work i did on the committee how do these folks continue to get away with it them
00:33:43.620 deleting the documents we find out from congressman barry loudermilk you've got congresswoman susan wild
00:33:49.260 who all of a sudden thought she was going to be copernicus and come out and leak the
00:33:53.560 matt gates stuff uh that should have never come out because matt gates is no longer a congressman how do
00:33:58.980 these people get away with this because they can there's us and them even when you get in congress i mean
00:34:05.260 i saw one of trump's appointees today and and they were very arrogant to me i just can't like i said
00:34:12.140 they gave me the heisman they wouldn't even talk to me there's there's two there's two different
00:34:16.480 groups of people it's us and them let's just be honest and um and when we have 15 of the population
00:34:23.380 voting it's going to continue to be us and them yeah you're absolutely right uh you had mentioned
00:34:29.000 trump's cabinet picks are you how do you what do you think of uh his picks so far have you do you agree
00:34:33.480 with all of them yeah i think they're excellent um you know i matt got popped but here again now
00:34:41.420 we're seeing a lot of this stuff that's happened sorry that's the office dog barking what kind of
00:34:47.040 dog you got over there it's called a cavalier king charles oh man i had one of those they're the
00:34:52.780 sweetest yet dumbest dogs i've got two of them back at the house but these aren't mine this is a
00:34:58.020 girl in the office here anyway uh it's it you're it's they're just again in congressional ethics 0.98
00:35:08.920 and congressional integrity are a whole lot like military intelligence they don't exist yeah uh you
00:35:16.040 know i i hope that this congress gets it together and you're one of the few i mean i think you're
00:35:20.640 probably one of maybe five or six people who are actually genuinely i think good people who genuinely
00:35:25.660 mean good for this country and good for society the rest of them all and you don't have to take
00:35:29.960 my word for you go look where these folks fundraise their money from i mean it doesn't get much simpler
00:35:34.620 than that matt gates was all the individual donors he didn't take any money from packs he didn't go out
00:35:39.780 there and trade stocks he didn't do any of that that crap that these people are doing and it's a cult
00:35:45.400 it really is a cult it's like you said it's us and them um you know i have some uh reservations on
00:35:51.180 things i want to see in congress i if you guys want to trade stocks congressman that's fine go
00:35:55.980 ahead and trade those stocks but you have to disclose it the second you make the trade
00:35:59.060 i have a bill doing just that um you must have been watching the show because i've been saying
00:36:05.080 this for a while but no it's true if you want to trade if you want to trade stocks and you want
00:36:08.560 to use insider trading by all means go ahead and do it but you have to disclose it on the spot
00:36:13.760 right away so that the american people can go ahead and make some money too and we'll see how fast
00:36:18.580 things begin to change don't you agree well my my bill it was a reporting bill really and um
00:36:24.120 we're waiting to see what happens to it in the senate um i think it's 15 days after the trade
00:36:28.900 we had to amend it down i mean that's the only way you're going to do it is and because we don't
00:36:33.640 have the guts to make the big issue i think we ought to eliminate personal stock trades myself
00:36:38.040 um let everybody do like i do my buddy tommy siler manages my eleven thousand dollar portfolio
00:36:43.960 he's done real well it was nine thousand a while back but a year or so ago but but uh a couple years
00:36:52.280 ago anyway but no i i just think that's what it should be i think if you're gonna you make a
00:36:57.240 sacrifice to come to congress and i get it but these guys making these crazy returns everybody wants to
00:37:04.140 bust pelosi on it but gosh there's people she's in the middle of the pack yeah yeah i you know i like i
00:37:11.760 said it you're one of the few people i think are actually a good willed person but nobody goes
00:37:16.220 nobody who's a former millionaire congressman nobody who's wants to make money in life goes
00:37:20.880 to congress to make 174 000 a year if you're a new yorker congressman and you live in new york city
00:37:26.000 you pay state local tax you you walk away at maybe 100 grand now you gotta get rent an apartment in dc
00:37:31.260 for three grand a month you gotta pay a mortgage here three grand a month that's six grand a month
00:37:34.580 you do the math you're walking away with forty thousand dollars thirty thousand dollars a year
00:37:37.880 uh it just doesn't pass the smell test george santos a friend of yours uh calls my congresswoman
00:37:44.640 nicole malio stock tips lady who's never had a real job in her life congressman yet somehow she's 0.99
00:37:51.060 trading stocks like it's nothing and you know lou used to beg me to primary her and i said if you pay 0.95
00:37:56.760 for it i'll do it so uh i i don't think i'm gonna be doing that but um it's just unbelievable it's people 0.94
00:38:03.360 with no brains who are making stock trades like they're damn hedge fund owners and they're staying
00:38:09.400 in congress for 174 grand a year make it make sense um i want to wrap up with something fbi 0.98
00:38:15.580 director christopher ray is preparing to resign as it seems now cash patel is going to have the votes 0.53
00:38:21.560 to come into the fbi and clean the damn place up what's your thoughts god bless him let's do it 0.93
00:38:28.200 let's get in there let's you're gonna have to do it fast though man pull that mandate off 0.97
00:38:32.940 that they wanted to inch it along that ain't gonna cut it and all these departments need to do that
00:38:38.620 because if you don't congress will try to stop them again members are compromised for whatever reason
00:38:45.580 and both parties and they will try to cut the money off they will do whatever they can to ambush this
00:38:51.960 thing and i hope president trump is aware of that yeah i want to see everyone expose congressman if
00:38:57.800 there's republicans who are doing bad i want them exposed what what they did to george santos okay
00:39:02.720 that's fine i want it done on the democrat side i want it done on the republican side i want it all
00:39:06.820 done i want it all out if you're a bad person i don't care what your skin color is what what your 0.97
00:39:10.800 race is what your ethnicity is what your gender is if you're trans or whatever the hell you are 1.00
00:39:15.440 if you're a bad person i want it to come out there's no protecting anybody uh congressman i appreciate

00:39:41.640 years is because that allows them a lot of time to to kiss and make up and we don't have time to kiss
00:39:47.440 and make up let's take our country back folks pray for our country and hope everyone has a very
00:39:52.480 politically incorrect merry christmas i know i'm going to try to make everybody as uncomfortable 0.98
