00:00:22.340 we were up all night and into the early hours of the morning watching the progress of the
00:00:28.360 president's big beautiful bill which has now passed the u.s house of representatives joining
00:00:34.840 me now is one of my favorite members of congress tim burchett from tennessee's second district that's
00:00:41.820 east tennessee tim is a rock rib ronald reagan conservative a bulldog champion of the taxpayers
00:00:48.600 of both tennessee and america and a donald trump america first loyalist don't ever confuse tim
00:00:56.440 burchett with the politician uh he is a true patriot and uh joins us now to talk about this
00:01:02.580 historic experience tim welcome back into the stone zone thank you mr stone it is always a pleasure
00:01:09.480 and i say this with all sincerity i wish my mom and daddy were alive to hear me on your show they
00:01:16.100 would just be floored that i know somebody of your stature and i mean that with all sincerity you
00:01:21.560 carried the water for this country behind the scenes for a lot of years and you continue to do
00:01:26.860 it and i just and i'm very grateful for you brother i really am well that that's very kind our listeners
00:01:33.060 out there in stone zone land love your country wisdom we get a lot of great comments whenever
00:01:38.120 you're on because you have a an amazing tendency to just tell it like it is uh but last night had to be
00:01:44.840 both nerve-wracking and exciting you were a part of history uh i'm very familiar with the big beautiful
00:01:52.280 bill for weeks now i have been beating back the disinformation regarding uh how the bill treats
00:01:59.200 social security how it treats medicaid what it does and does not do this is the blueprint for
00:02:06.360 donald trump's plan to take america into the golden age i think we would all recognize that the bill was
00:02:12.340 not perfect from the get-go no piece of legislation ever is but it got increasingly better uh and those
00:02:20.260 critics who say well it doesn't do enough to reduce spending they're right but this isn't the vehicle
00:02:26.680 for that is the way i look no no you're correct i mean i guess it's like a a nice car um it depends
00:02:35.200 on who's driving it and it just so happens that donald j trump is driving this this this car or this train
00:02:41.000 and and you know i had a lot of questions and i'll be honest with you i was not in favor of the bill i
00:02:46.840 um because i didn't have the answers that i needed and president trump took two hours yesterday if you
00:02:54.320 can believe that and him and jd vance who i'm continue to be i wasn't a jd vance fan really but um
00:03:01.340 after closed doors meetings with both of them and it's two two dadgum hours mr stone and he um
00:03:08.920 and you've been in a room with trump but the thing that that always that got me and i left as i left
00:03:14.620 i was telling some people some staffers this they were what do you think and i said well
00:03:18.220 14 people in a room just fastballing questions to the president and you know he answered every
00:03:25.860 dadgum one of them but the thing i like about him is mr stone more and more is when he doesn't have
00:03:31.680 the answer you know you always hear about this bravado trump bravado or whatever i don't know
00:03:37.100 um uh you know i guess it's okay to be cocky when you're when you're right and you know what
00:03:42.500 you're talking about and he knew what the heck he was talking about on every issue and the thing i
00:03:46.900 like the most though when he didn't know he would turn to one of his experts call him my name and say
00:03:53.220 what's the answer to this and you know i've you've been in meetings with executives before and many times
00:03:58.760 a lot more than i have and world leaders but a lot of them will just either lie to you or try to
00:04:03.420 buffalo you to get you the you know to to think they know the answer and their arrogance won't
00:04:09.120 allow them to say i don't know but that's not the way it was with trump and he and jd would fill in
00:04:15.120 um in certain areas and provide support when needed and uh you know he had people from the treasury he had
00:04:23.460 his all his people that you see on television in there and um and and i'll just be honest with you
00:04:30.040 i left after i left there i was i was in his camp on the bill because it he convinced me that
00:04:35.720 economically it's the right thing to do and and many other reasons why as well well i i think it's
00:04:43.560 because he comes not from the world of politics but from the world of business and in business you
00:04:48.880 can't buffalo people trying to make a deal with they want real answers trump operates uh like a
00:04:54.340 businessman he likes facts hard facts and hard realities and i agree with you on your assessment
00:05:00.920 of jd vance i was not always a jd fans fan but i am today he's been remarkably effective behind the
00:05:08.900 scenes particularly uh in the confirmation of some of the president's better but more controversial
00:05:14.640 cabinet picks uh he doesn't get much credit for that but he was really the guy up on capitol hill
00:05:20.680 rounding up the necessary votes jawboning certain republicans i think jd vance is doing a terrific job
00:05:27.260 and uh i think the american people are going to learn more and more about that over time i do have to
00:05:32.960 ask you uh last time we spoke uh we were talking about your bill uh it came as a shock to me but i
00:05:40.100 checked it out it's absolutely true millions of dollars from the american taxpayers flowing to the
00:05:46.940 taliban uh and you you brought this up you've had legislation you introduced a no tax dollars for
00:05:54.540 the terrorist act what is the status of that oh thank you so much for asking about that and you're
00:06:00.080 correct it's 40 million a week and the state department who i have no love for i never have
00:06:05.120 is as even i have a document a five-page document says we've sent close to five billion now it's probably
00:06:10.800 more than that because it's a several weeks old it is past the house it is in the senate and i'm hoping
00:06:17.820 that um senator foone will allow it to move through because um uh senator sheehy former navy seal and
00:06:27.500 tommy tuberville another straight talker are both working on the bill and i'm gonna i'm gonna try to get
00:06:34.440 with them the first of the week and just and and and urge them along because i think the country
00:06:40.100 supports things like that it's time to stop that nonsense that corruption that has come out of the
00:06:45.800 biden administration it's just it's it's it's almost overwhelming mr stone to be honest with you
00:06:51.760 because of the amount of out and right just stealing and i think that it i think what really
00:06:59.600 what really is is become of it i think the money's flowing back to washington dc and i think it's
00:07:04.500 flowing into the pockets of members of congress and i hope they get caught and i don't care what
00:07:09.760 party they're in i hope they put them in handcuffs and drag them out of this building kicking and
00:07:14.720 screaming i think you're exactly right as you know elon musk alluded to this back when he was running the
00:07:21.460 doge operation i mean usaid which by the way was never enacted by congress it was created through
00:07:28.500 executive order by president john f kennedy and it had a legitimate purpose at the time it was supposed
00:07:33.700 to fund governments in our hemisphere in in central and south america who were fighting communism a lot
00:07:41.140 easier to talk to people with a full belly than when they're hungry uh it had a very good and i think
00:07:45.960 legitimate purpose when it started but it morphed into a slush fund for the radical left and we were
00:07:52.660 funding terrorism we were funding color revolutions we were funding impeachments uh we were funding
00:07:59.920 all kinds of crazy dei programs uh the numbers boggle the mind uh and the folks at aid usa id they seem
00:08:09.420 to believe they answered to no one that they were they were a government unto themselves i give big
00:08:14.360 credit for to secretary of state marco rubio and to the president of course for now defunding this
00:08:20.700 massive leftist uh uh slush fund i mean if you're a democrat you haven't had a very good couple weeks
00:08:28.320 usa id is defunded the dow industrial average is skyrocketing the u.s supreme court has finally
00:08:37.180 limited the power of rogue leftist district judges iran's nuclear weapons development program
00:08:45.700 has been smashed zoran mamdami is the new face of the democrat party a man who talks about seizing
00:08:54.440 the means of productions i think he gets that right out of marks and angles uh a man who talks about
00:09:00.860 defunding the police and opening the jails i kid you not the republican national committee has five times
00:09:07.400 more cash on hand than the democrat national committee which has to evidently go borrow to stay afloat
00:09:13.680 criminal illegal aliens are being deported uh with greater efficiency by that great patriot tom homan
00:09:21.740 president trump is brokering peace all over whether it's between uh the congo and rwanda uh whether
00:09:28.840 whether it is uh whether it is uh any of these world crises that he is bringing peace to states are
00:09:38.080 beginning to defund planned parenthood 128 of your democrat colleagues actually voted against
00:09:43.920 impeaching donald trump and white males like david hogg are being kicked out of the democrat party like
00:09:49.920 dogs uh if you're a democrat there's not much to smile about these days no sir and it goes down to
00:09:56.360 one person donald j trump if if could you imagine if joe biden was in the white house right now
00:10:02.620 i guarantee you american boots would be on the ground and young boys and girls would be losing
00:10:08.240 their life in another endless war i just can't stress that enough of his ability to to um to fix a
00:10:17.240 problem i i was asked by a reporter i said early on about his negotiating skills i said the guy deals
00:10:24.340 with teamsters in new york city i said i think he can handle the middle east i mean seriously there's no
00:10:30.160 question no there's no question he's handled that deal and he handles it with with honestly a little
00:10:36.880 a lot of grace really considering and when he dropped his f-bomb last week about uh about the
00:10:43.660 middle east i was in the um i talked to a lot of democrats and especially in the gym you know there's
00:10:50.360 no cameras nobody's staff nobody around and they they thought that was a very a very accurate statement
00:10:57.600 and it needed to be said and uh you know and i think it summed it up i know franklin graham doesn't
00:11:03.460 like all his cursing and i'm frankly i'm not a fan of it but it it was it was accurate you can't say
00:11:09.520 anything other than it was accurate and he uh he called it and if it wasn't for him we would be in a
00:11:15.020 heart we would be in another endless war and you know peace is breaking out everywhere and the only
00:11:21.220 people that are winning in the so-called democrat party are marxist because and my theory on that is is
00:11:26.740 that they you can say what you want to about it but this is my theory i think that the um the
00:11:33.540 democrats that are in power realize that they're going to lose everything and they they they fear
00:11:41.380 more losing their job than losing the country so they'll go with that far left that is just a very
00:11:47.140 slim uh very slim portion of of their numbers and they'll sacrifice their moderate their moderate um
00:11:56.100 members on the altar of of of liberalism marxist woke wokeism really and um and that's exactly what
00:12:04.020 they're doing you're going to see a lot of those people are going to get beat and and republicans
00:12:08.540 and i hope what i hope is i hope that we have mega republicans that we start electing and quit with
00:12:14.440 this shenanigans that some of our former leadership did by undercutting um those type of of leaders
00:12:21.120 because that's exactly what happened in the past you know i'd go to these recruiting things that
00:12:25.980 look like we were recruiting for hooters waitresses and not members of congress and and and that america
00:12:33.400 did not respond very well to that and um and that's why we have such a and one other thing and i'll and
00:12:38.540 i'll shut up because it's your show but the um you know i keep saying this our approval rating is in
00:12:44.600 the dumps or congress is for good reason but donald trump's is soaring and the reason is he listened
00:12:52.400 to america and he's doing what they said strong border strong economy strong military america bows
00:12:59.780 to no one in this world right now we are the envy of the world once again and it's because of trump
00:13:05.900 and if we do not acknowledge those issues we will continue to be in a three or four person majority
00:13:11.860 or possibly even lose the majority to the marxist yeah i i think we're going to defy history as you
00:13:18.140 know traditionally the party in power loses seats in the off-year elections but traditionally
00:13:24.240 businessmen don't get elected president of the united states uh all of our presidents have been
00:13:28.980 governors or senators or congressmen or generals so i think trump all of the of the of the uh the the
00:13:37.420 standard rules of american politics the conventional wisdom if you will i think all of that is does not
00:13:43.300 apply to donald j trump presidents aren't defeated uh and then lose a disputed election and return to
00:13:50.320 the white house with one exception grover cleveland a democrat who happened to be like donald trump from
00:13:56.020 new york actually last of the great conservative democrats a truly great president uh it is uh it is uh
00:14:02.680 amazing how trump defies all the rules and changes the the the whole game side of american politics
00:14:10.840 i honestly think that when he survived an assassin's bullet in butler pennsylvania that that it gave him
00:14:20.260 a new urgency not just a new serenity because i found him much calmer and much more determined after
00:14:26.360 that but it also gave him a much greater sense of urgency i think he fully understands
00:14:32.500 that he has four years to save this country and he is not wasting not a single minute of it
00:14:40.360 having spoken to him a couple times extraordinarily late at night or i should say early in the morning
00:14:45.520 he is not wasting a single minute of his time uh in this herculean effort to like turn around an ocean liner
00:14:53.580 to change the entire direction of the country to return us to our fundamental constitutional roots
00:14:59.380 uh and to secure that golden age that you and i have talked so much about folks if you're just tuning in
00:15:05.360 we're talking to congressman tim birchett from east tennessee uh he is a former mayor of knox county
00:15:12.900 he is a bulldog defender of the american taxpayers as well as the taxpayers of tennessee
00:15:18.460 he also is a guy who tells it exactly like it is you're in the stone zone with tim and i whatever you do
00:15:24.440 please don't touch that dial because we'll be right back for a bit more this is the stone zone with roger stone
00:15:32.440 this is the stone zone now get in the zone it's the stone zone
00:15:53.940 here's roger stone and we're back in the stone zone uh congressman tim birchett and i are celebrating
00:16:01.220 the passage by the u.s house of the big beautiful bill uh and tim i saw on x that you received a
00:16:08.920 copy of my book the man who killed kennedy the case against lbj i hope you're enjoying the book it
00:16:14.120 certainly is an outline of the uh shenanigans of the deep state i i spoke earlier in the show
00:16:20.260 about the revelations from cia director john radcliffe yesterday implicating former cia director
00:16:26.300 john brennan uh former national security advisor james clapper uh and uh fbi director james comey
00:16:33.800 in orchestrating the greatest single dirty trick in american political history the russian collusion
00:16:41.520 hoax which was nothing less than an abuse of power in which they used the full authority of the united
00:16:46.980 states government and the extraordinary capability of our intelligence agencies to try to undo an
00:16:52.920 american election uh and remove a duly elected president so i guess my question to you is are we
00:16:59.060 ever going to see justice are any of these people who have engaged in a treasonous crime crime for which
00:17:05.920 there is no statute of limitations do you think we will ever see anybody held accountable i doubt it
00:17:12.020 i doubt it i just um because this town is so crooked mr stone and they protect their own
00:17:18.780 and um i just uh it it infuriates me that's why that's why i know there's a god in heaven
00:17:26.040 because there will be justice one day i just don't think it's going to be on this side of the grave for
00:17:30.400 most of them i think they're going to lawyer up and yeah they'll get some small potatoes like you saw
00:17:35.020 at the um the the auto pen debacle at the white house but um you know some small potatoes get
00:17:42.860 get smashed but the reality is i just don't see it but what i i would hope that would drive americans to
00:17:51.540 the polls and say we've got to fix this and you all would hold us accountable i mean i'll vote for it
00:17:57.760 i'll push it but i'm not you know i'm not on the judiciary committee and i'm not one of those that's
00:18:03.680 and you know that that's a little out of my realm but i would hope that we would all i can do is
00:18:09.260 raise hell about it and hopefully um jamie comer will bring it up in our committee and then we will
00:18:14.620 have it as a um and then we will push the justice department to do something about it so i would hope
00:18:20.720 that that we could do that because once you do one the rest will you know they'll lawyer up and
00:18:25.300 they'll start squealing they'll squeal like stuck pigs and dadgummit that's that's that's that would
00:18:31.160 be a good start i would think i i completely and totally agree so you have a new podcast uh
00:18:37.620 entitled uh unscripted where you'll be peering behind the veil in washington dc how will those
00:18:43.240 listening be able to access your show and uh what have you planned for the the initial episode
00:18:48.360 yes sir it's on youtube and rumble and um i would honestly love to get you on there i are you in new
00:18:55.820 york is that where you are i am actually in south florida at this moment but i'd be honored to be on
00:19:00.640 we can arrange that i would i would love to oh i'd go to south florida see uh honestly i could i
00:19:06.360 could see myself my wife and daughter love the love the sun and they love the surf so that would
00:19:11.980 be a great thing and i would um but i but yeah it's on um youtube and rumble and we are um you know i'm
00:19:18.860 not i'm not real polished and i'm not a i guess i'm not a wordsmith like you and so it's um it's it's
00:19:25.400 uh i stumble through it a little bit but people seem to enjoy it and they get a lot from it and
00:19:30.760 we're going to start getting some people and making some people uncomfortable and that's that's my goal
00:19:36.320 i you know and i they'll give me a little script but i never follow it i don't know why i pay those
00:19:41.340 people to do any of that stuff because i just i get in there and get ticked off about something and
00:19:45.800 i'll start railing on it and we'll start digging and that's that's what i intend to do with this thing
00:19:51.180 i you know i it's it's sometimes kind of difficult to get people that are interesting
00:19:56.220 because it seems like everybody's got a podcast but it's a great way to meet to um reach out to
00:20:00.900 the younger folks and i think as older politicians like yourself and myself you know it's not all
00:20:06.960 bluegrass and barbecue anymore it is a um it's a um it's it's it's the social media it's it's these
00:20:15.480 radio shows it's um it's you know it's all the all the all of the above and to leave any of that
00:20:21.080 on the table i think is where republicans miss out because the democrats are a little bit ahead
00:20:25.580 of us on that kind of stuff all right we have to we have to end it there i want to thank our guest
00:20:30.040 uh tim birchett a man who tells it like it is and also thank all of you for joining us today
00:20:34.640 in the stone zone we'll see you tomorrow on the fourth of july god bless you and godspeed
