1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Today we have Congressman 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: Tim Burchett with us. He is from Tennessee, but you 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: are in Washington, d C. Right now handling this government shutdown. 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: I just want to say we're recording this on Wednesday, 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: and anything had happened. But tell us the behind the 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: scenes right now, if you don't mind. 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 2: Well, I think there's a lot of things going on. 8 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: I think what part of it really nobody's addressed is. 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: The it's Schumer is looking in his rear view mirror. 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 3: He is looking at Alexandra a Casio Corte or a 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 3: Zye call her Cortez. She is probably chomping at the 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 3: bit to run for US Senate. Schumer knows that he 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 3: has been left by me. He's a liberal, but this don't. 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: I don't know that he's approached approached the Marxist level yet. 15 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: And I think he sees New York going completely calm, 16 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: this Marxist for this, this lunatic they're getting ready to elect, 17 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 3: and he knows that his base, he's got to have 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 3: that base, so he's going to throw everything at this. 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 3: You know, the transgender surgery, the the health care for illegals, 20 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 3: and that's what he's looking at. He doesn't care about 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 3: the country, and Jefferies is just a it's just along 22 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 3: for the ride because the House is already We've already 23 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: passed the bill. 24 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: It's in the Senate, and it's clearly you. 25 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 3: Know, the the Democrats are, you know, all in DC. 26 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: I wanted to correct you. 27 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm in I'm in Knoxville today, actually so, 28 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: and we're not. There's no reason for us to be 29 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: there because there's nothing going on. The House has already 30 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: done it's business. It's up to the Senate now. And 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,639 Speaker 3: I think that's what Schumer is doing. That's his ultimate plan, 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: is to appease his far liberal base. He could care 33 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 3: less about the country. He needs to go back to 34 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: flip and raw hamburgers with cheese on him on his grill. 35 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 3: And you know, I think he needs to go play 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 3: with his grandkids if he has any, and get on 37 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: with his life because this thing is clearly passed him 38 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: by the country. It's not buying this one bit. They 39 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 3: know this is about providing health care for illegals. 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: You make an interesting point, though he is at the 41 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: high end of the age range in his party. This 42 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: seems to be a trend in their party to have 43 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: people well into their eighties and sometimes into their nineties. 44 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: I think that they have held off the younger generation, 45 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: the generation of forty to fifty year olds, and now 46 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: they have the twenty and thirty year olds coming in 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: that are the far progressive left. They wouldn't give a 48 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 1: power when they could to the next generation. Now they're 49 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: afraid of what this communist power is. But they're going 50 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: to the far farther to the left. It's shocking to me. 51 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: Well, it's just it's I think it's as a leadership. 52 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 3: You see it in all parties. It's about preserving their leadership. 53 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: It's an arrogance that thinks that they're not going to 54 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 3: be able to, you know, to succeed without them. I 55 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 3: can remember one time here in Knox County when they 56 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: put in turn limits and they were interviewing some of 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: the county courthouse folks, and one of them got on 58 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: the news and said, I just don't know if this 59 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 3: county is going to be able to function without us. 60 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: And I thought it was a joke. 61 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: You know, I had to check my calendar make sure 62 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: what in April first, But honest to goodness, they were 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: serious and that's the mentality of this. But you get 64 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: that because you've got you've got these staffers that walk 65 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: around and you know, I don't know, they might heat 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: the commode seat before you go into the bathroom. 67 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. 68 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: I mean, it's ridiculous how these leadership They've got their posse, 69 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: they got their suburbans, they got security four deep, they're 70 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: never waiting in line anywhere. 71 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: How much of an effect do you think they've had 72 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: on the younger generation because we talked to Attorney Point 73 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: Group in Northern Michigan just a few weeks ago, and 74 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: those young people were saying, we're kind of in this 75 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: in between where part of our generation is saying we 76 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: don't want big government, and part of our generation is saying, well, 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: what is the government going to do for us? And 78 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: I asked them, what are you expecting from government? Why 79 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: do you feel like you are owed something by the government. 80 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: The government should be there to provide public safety and infrastructure, 81 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: but what else are you wanting from them? They have 82 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: gotten to the point, the Democrats have gotten to the 83 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: point where they've convinced young people that Democrat that the 84 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: government is is essential to their life and should provide 85 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: them financial relief. 86 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: I agree. I think the government was designed to be maybe. 87 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 3: An ambulance carrier, and it's become a transit system and 88 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: that's you know, it's just we've allowed that to happen. 89 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: More and more taxes, more and more regularition just kind 90 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: of ease into us. We have higher property, property taxes, 91 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 3: higher sales tax, user phase going down the list, and 92 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 3: it's and then you had income tax and all the 93 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 3: egregious things that brings on. So yeah, we've allowed it, 94 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 3: is what we've done. We got to quit when you 95 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: have twelve percent of the population in k Street lobbyist 96 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: running the show. 97 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: It's true. We've seen it in Michigan right now, there's this, 98 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: I mean, we have the Michigan government is shutdown as well. 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: We have this battle over whether or not we're going 100 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: to pay for everybody's school lunch. It's such a bizarre 101 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: battle because it's very hard for the Republicans to come 102 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: out and say, well, why should we subsidize the wealthy, 103 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: But essentially free and reduced lunch is always going to 104 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: be there for the people that need it. This is 105 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: now giving free lunch to the wealthy families, And it's 106 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: a really hard it's a really hard semantics argument to 107 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: have with the people of Michigan to say, why do 108 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: you want to pay more taxes to pay for people 109 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: who can afford their kids to have lunch to pay 110 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: for their lunch? 111 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: Well, that's that don't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable 112 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: kind of bs. When I was a kid, I'm sixty 113 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 3: one years old and I can remember the kids that 114 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: we're on the free and reduced line unch. 115 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: Nobody knew it. 116 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 3: I was, I guess, just a tenant, and the teacher 117 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: would give them a little slug that they would use 118 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: for their lunch, and. 119 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: Then they would know. 120 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: The captier workers would know that they just because they 121 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: could see them, you know. And we didn't pay attention. 122 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: Just they just handed them a coin, is all it was. 123 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 3: And just like we were handing them a coin. And 124 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: nobody was made fun of, nobody was pointed the finger at. 125 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: It was just part of it. 126 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: And now, yeah, there's there's areas in mind District where 127 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: the people are a lot of wealthy folks and a 128 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: lot of poor folks in combined, and then they just 129 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 3: give everybody a free and reduce lunch and it's a 130 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: one size fits all. I think that's that is why 131 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 3: Donald J. Trump wants to get out of the education business. 132 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 3: One of the reasons has just become such a bureaucracy. 133 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: You know. 134 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 3: We when Jimmy Carter moved the Department of Educing up 135 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 3: to Education up to a cabinet level position in nineteen 136 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 3: seventy six, we were number one in the world. Now, 137 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 3: trillions of dollars later, we're in the twenty if we're 138 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 3: lucky in some categories. 139 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: So it is. 140 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 3: You see miss Winingarten on their ranting and raving for 141 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: her teachers' union, and now we find out they've spending 142 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: well over one hundred. 143 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: Thousand dollars promoting her book. Their union dues. 144 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: Right, which is essentially our money that is being paid 145 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: to teachers, and then they're stripping it off of their paycheck. 146 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly, And the only reason most teachers are in 147 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: there is for insurance, if you talk to them. In reality, 148 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: my mam always a classroom teacher, my sister was. I 149 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 3: have a degree in education, certified K through twelve in Tennessee, 150 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: so I get that, and they make a push for it. 151 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 3: When I was in college and I made those points 152 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: to her, to our director and the director of I 153 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: forget the title of education, but you know, and all 154 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: the philosophy of education classes I had to take in, 155 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 3: all the garbage that they need to teach how to 156 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 3: and a very few teacher classes you how to actually 157 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: teach school, and until they throw you in the deep 158 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: end when you'd hear student teaching, and then you wonder 159 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: why you had such a large burnout right in education. 160 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: And then these poor teachers would just run over by 161 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: these union bosses, and it's ridiculous. 162 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: Well, now we're suffering with DEI. We see that at 163 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: our university level. You've seen that in Tennessee. There have 164 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: been some undercover videos that have come out. Even though 165 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: the president said no more DEI, it's still happening. 166 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: That's right, they just rename it. 167 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: And the problem we have is and follow me on this, 168 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: and I've made this a point when we are our 169 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 3: great Senator Marshall Blackbird raised ruckus and had one of 170 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 3: them kicked out, I believe at MTSU. But the problem 171 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 3: is it's like Kudzu. I don't know if you're from 172 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: the South or not. You're you're a parent to Michigan. 173 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 3: Aren't you in the cold country. But kudzu as a plant, 174 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 3: it's an invasive species, and it just grows everywhere on 175 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: the hillside. 176 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 2: They say, you've got to close. 177 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 3: Your window is at night, it'll crawl land and snatch 178 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 3: your kids back in the old days. But anyway, it 179 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 3: grows everywhere up here, and this is all over and 180 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: you and you cut it down, and they got all 181 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 3: these new plans. They'll bring in goats. Oh, goats will 182 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 3: do it. And I don't know they nap all it. 183 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: I'm not sure they use all these chemicals. But guess what, 184 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 3: it always comes back in five or six different places. 185 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 3: And that's what our colleges and universities are. We we 186 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 3: fire these people. Well, what we've got to do is 187 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: fire the people that are doing the hiring, these these 188 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 3: departments that allow this kind of thing, because it's going 189 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 3: to come back bigger and better and stronger under these 190 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: liberal policies in the future. And that and we should 191 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 3: and these legislators, I mean, you know, they get schmooths. 192 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: They get invited to the skyboxes all over the country, 193 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 3: you know, to be the football games and and and 194 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 3: the and the heavy hitters paddle on the back and 195 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: tell them how great they are, and then they just 196 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: keep funding this garbage. And then here we are at 197 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: University of Tennessee and noxletony with somebody with a lesbian 198 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: studies degree. 199 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: That's trashy, Charlie Kirk. 200 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,359 Speaker 3: You know, after he's dead and from what we've understood, 201 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: you know, I just and what does that prepare somebody 202 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: to do in life? 203 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: No, I'm go down and work down at the coffee shop. 204 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: I guess you know. We need to teach people. We 205 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 2: need to get back to education. 206 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: We need to teach people how to how to read, 207 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: write and do arithmetic. But if we're going to teach 208 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 3: them a trade, teach him a trade. Go to the 209 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: trade school. There's this beautiful minorgree. It's technological adult education. 210 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 3: If you're going to teach them to be a lawyer, 211 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: cinema law school. If you're going to be a doctor, 212 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 3: put them on that track ourly, medical chemistry, those kind 213 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: of things, and you know, and go down those lines. 214 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: If they're going to be an electrician, I'll teach them 215 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: how to do electric how to do it. But all 216 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 3: the other stuff, it's nonsense. It's just fluff, and it 217 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 3: drains the tax base, and that's where these liberal policies 218 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 3: come in. 219 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 220 00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. So I went to college in 221 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: the nineties and I don't remember having any type of 222 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: politics on college campuses. I do remember Bill Clinton coming 223 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: to my college campus, but it wasn't as though people 224 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: were completely absorbed by it. I think it was mostly 225 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: because of social media. But you make such a great 226 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: point about the Charlie Kirk situation. We went to, like 227 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: I said, we went to Northern Michigan University last weekend. 228 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: We sat down with the Turning Point kids. There. The 229 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: kid who is the young man who has organized the 230 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: Turning Point group, he said he put out his table 231 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: on campus to recruit more people. There were students coming 232 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: by yelling your fascists, you're horrible. But the worst part 233 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: is an actual professor came up and poured his coffee 234 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: on the kid. 235 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 3: Think about that, Well, they need to be unemployed, but 236 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: that's tenure for you. Yeah, he probably checked his union 237 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: rules before he did that, and it was probably specifically alliwed. 238 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 3: But what we've got to get control of public education. 239 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 3: We got to defund it, and we got to quit 240 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: sending money places like Harvard that have multi billion dollars. 241 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: Bank rolls they're sitting on and we just got to 242 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: get away from it. 243 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: We've we've recruited people from overseas to come into our 244 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 3: China specifically, and we all the liberals tell us, oh, 245 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 3: this is great, we'll teach them the American way of life. Well, 246 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 3: in fact, now they're infecting our way of life, not 247 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: all of them, but some of them with communists propaganda 248 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: and they infiltrate in their long term and communists have 249 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: a long term plan. Americans. You know, we want our 250 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: pizzas in about thirty minutes. And that's about our Dadgoma 251 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 3: ticchet Span. 252 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about crime. Because you have the 253 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: city of Memphis in your state. We have the city 254 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: of Detroit. We are constantly in a competition as to 255 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: who is the most violent city in America. Donald Trump 256 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: has said he wants to come into Memphis. He's sending 257 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: the National Guard. Your governor is on board with that, 258 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: Ovenor is obviously in Michigan, not on board with getting 259 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: the National Guard into the city of Detroit. What do 260 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: you see as the possibilities there to improve the city 261 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: of Memphis. 262 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 3: I think that it's a it's a great opportunity for Tennessee. 263 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 3: I worry that we're sending these troops in that may 264 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 3: be possibly unarmed. I think that's a bad idea that's 265 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 3: going to get somebody killed. I think you would watched that. 266 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 3: When I was in the state legislature, we lived at 267 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 3: unarmed traffic people and things in certain areas, and we 268 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: most of the time voted against it because obviously there's 269 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 3: a major crime and you look like law enforcement. Somebody 270 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 3: runs up to you and said I need your help. Well, 271 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 3: you know you can do is write them a ticket 272 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 3: or a radio at them or something. So I think 273 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: we better, we better do it right. But you're right, Memphis, 274 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 3: Tennessee has a higher death toll than Mexico City. 275 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: So yeah, it is horrible. 276 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: And it's when I'm on Nash Knows CNN, they always 277 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 3: point that out. 278 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 2: Oh, red state Tennessee has Memphis. 279 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: I said, yeah, but it's been run by a Democrat 280 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: machine for longer than I live. He used to be 281 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 3: the Crump machine, and then the Ford family r ain't 282 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 3: it and now it's just who knows who's running it. 283 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: But it's it's an awful scenario right now. 284 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 3: And what you see is the best people in the 285 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 3: world are held hostage by some of the worst people 286 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 3: in the world. When we had the mayor of Washington, 287 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 3: d C. And all their people in in our oversight committee, 288 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: I'll never forget it. It was five white guys up front, 289 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 3: and all the black folks were sitting in the back 290 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: of the community activists and they were just shaking their 291 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: head the whole time. 292 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: And I said, and I brought that. I brought that up. 293 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 3: I said, I see five white guys up here, but 294 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: I don't see anybody representing the community. 295 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: I said, I'm. 296 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 3: Pretty sure there's a pretty large black population in DC, 297 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 3: you know. And after I walked out, one of the 298 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 3: more prominent black Democrats Congress thank me. He said, Tim, 299 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 3: that needed to be said. And I said, and I'm 300 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: glad you said it. And I said, thank you. And 301 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 3: I get it. It's just there's a sense of denial, 302 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: there's a sense of ownership, and there's an arrogance, and 303 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: people are dying because of the people that can't speak, 304 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: aren't able to speak. The people that are in power, 305 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: the preachers and the shady politicians, they're all going to 306 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: get up front of the mic and holler about racism 307 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: or whatever, but there's little There's mamas out there that 308 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 3: are crying every night because her babies are getting killed 309 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 3: and there's no reason for that, and we can stop it, 310 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 3: and it needs to be stopped. 311 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: We see the same thing in Michigan we have not 312 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: too long ago. A few years ago, a mother from 313 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: Flint went on the news and they said, you know 314 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: what happened, and Sheila had lost her son the night before, 315 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: and she said, if the leaders came in, if they 316 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: were if they cared about jobs, if they cared about 317 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: taking the bad people off the streets, my son wouldn't 318 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: have been in this position. And that's something that shocks me, 319 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: is that it doesn't seem like this is a I 320 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: don't understand why they say that this is the carrying 321 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: thing to let these people out. We have these prosecutors 322 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: that just let these folks back on the street. Just 323 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: last weekend, our one of our county sheriffs was saying, 324 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: it really is a handful of people that commit the 325 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: most crimes, but we can't get them off the streets 326 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: because the prosecutors let them right. 327 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: Back on they're right back on. 328 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: You're exactly right, and that nothing infuriates. And that's why 329 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 3: you see law enforcement. The morale is so low. They 330 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 3: know by the time they fail out the paperwork, that 331 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 3: person's already going to be out on the street. And 332 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 3: a lot of these you have zero bail. You know, this, 333 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 3: got to do away with that catch list bail. That 334 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: just doesn't work. They're not coming back. That's why you 335 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 3: saw an angry father on the news yesterday, talked about 336 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: a guy that had murdered No tell him what he 337 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: did to his beautiful daughter. You know how many convictions? 338 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 3: How many was he sitting on? Twenty nine felonies something 339 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 3: like that. I mean, it's something ridiculous, and it just 340 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 3: goes on and on and on, and it never seems 341 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 3: to stop. And you know, again, twelve percent of the 342 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 3: population votes. 343 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: You have the leaders and the preachers. 344 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 3: And all telling you, whooping you up and pointing the 345 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: finger and saying it to Rice, when it's just within ma'am, 346 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 3: we have our leadership in all these areas, it's very lacking, 347 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: and in these minority communities, especially if they had some 348 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 3: true leadership that cared about their people and not about 349 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 3: staying in power or getting a headline. It would change 350 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 3: everything peint eighty. But currently we don't see that type 351 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: of bravery out there. 352 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: We see a lot of Democrats, and I've seen a 353 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: lot of my friends that are Democrats on social media 354 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: that have been just wild about the fact that Donald 355 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: Trump is overstepping his authority. He's a king. He's walking 356 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: into these cities and he's bringing in the military and 357 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: he's taking over. But they don't live in these cities, 358 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: like you said. Those are the white people who are 359 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: trying to manage it from the outside. They don't deal 360 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: with it. Every single day now we see this government shutdown. 361 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: I've heard the leftist news saying that this is going 362 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 1: to hurt Donald Trump, because a government shutdown always hurts 363 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: the president that's in power. The midterms are coming. Are 364 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: these shenanigans being pulled by the Democrats because they know 365 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: their policies on public safety, and their policies on an 366 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: open border, and their policies on foreign wars are not 367 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: acceptable right now, so they're trying to put the government 368 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: shut down in place to hurt the president. 369 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 3: The best friend the Democrats have right now probably is 370 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 3: a Republican Party because our messaging stinks. 371 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 2: You know. I put out on Twitter or x the 372 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: other day that. 373 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 3: This exactly what was going on and what was causing 374 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 3: this shutdown, and it had one point five million views. 375 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 3: I am on the four hundred and thirty fifth most 376 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 3: powerful member. I can't imagine what some of our so 377 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 3: called studs would do that people in the media clamor 378 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 3: to interview all the time, if they would just quit 379 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 3: being such whiny little little kids and start doing their 380 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 3: jobs and message this thing is. 381 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: It is so. 382 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 3: Beautiful politically, because that is in fact the truth. The 383 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 3: Democrats are going to shut this thing down, and they 384 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 3: have shut it down for providing health care for illegals. 385 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 3: And they'll say, no, we're not, no, we're not. Well, 386 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 3: sure they are. They want to reef. They want to 387 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: start back all the programs that Donald Trump and Congress 388 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 3: in some regards kicked out or cut out, and they 389 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 3: want to refund those deep and start them all over again. 390 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 3: And that includes NPR public television. You know, I was 391 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 3: in the NPR hearings. I asked this question because I 392 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 3: heard it on the radio. They said, what is your 393 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 3: definition of propaganda? And they said, leaguering Wood singing God 394 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 3: bless the USA. And I asked ahead of MPR, I said, 395 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 3: is that your all's position. Oh no, that's not our position, 396 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 3: that's just one of our commentators. I said, no, you can't. 397 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: That is your position. That is your position. You cannot 398 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: sit here and say that. And you know they want 399 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 3: to restart all the DEI programs. Well, Dee, I just 400 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 3: about got Donald Trump killed because that was we had 401 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 3: a head of Secret Service. That's a DEI had no 402 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 3: business being in that position. Had people in those positions 403 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 3: protecting Trump. 404 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: That were not that. 405 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 3: I don't that we're not of the right height even. 406 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you saw the Patriots and then you saw 407 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 3: some of them when you get shot, they're all dunk 408 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 3: and down. Well, that's not their job. Their job is 409 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 3: to take a bullet for Trump for whoever they're guarding. 410 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 3: I don't care if Obama, I don't care who it is, 411 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 3: but that is their job. I've heard Bongino say it 412 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 3: many times. I think he guarded Hillary Clinton, and I said, 413 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 3: you know, he would have taken a bullet for that 414 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: was his job. He didn't have to agree with her, 415 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 3: but that that was his job. And we've allowed we're 416 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 3: going to allow these programs to start back again, the 417 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 3: funding of a transgender surgery for minors. Things like that 418 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 3: that you're tax don I mean, that's mnemonic. Yet that 419 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 3: is the things that Democrats are and and frankly, the 420 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 3: national media is not calling it out. I tell you, 421 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 3: when Schumer will come to the tables when he sees 422 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 3: his numbers are too far gone, he knows he's sinking 423 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 3: right now. That's why you see Jefferies kind of in 424 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 3: the background more so than he was, because he sees 425 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 3: this is hurting his own people, and they're going to 426 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 3: get up and they'll the usual cast of characters will 427 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 3: talk about all this stuff. 428 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 2: This is killing them. We just need to pull pour 429 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: the calls on. 430 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 3: We need to stick to our guns, stay loyal to 431 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 3: this president, because honestly, and I get so aggravated with Congress, 432 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 3: we get so puffed up. We're in a we're one 433 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 3: flu season away from from losing. The majority of two 434 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 3: or three people don't show up, We're out. We're out. 435 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 3: And the reason is we ran on our own agendas. 436 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 3: President Trump ran on some pretty strong stuff, the border, 437 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 3: strong economy, in de all this stuff that the that 438 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 3: the conservative base hates I mean, they love Trump because 439 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 3: he did it, but the left hates us for it, 440 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 3: and we ran on all this other different stuff and 441 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 3: we barely hang on. And that's the reason, because we 442 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: should have adopted his agenda. 443 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: I did pretty well in my. 444 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 3: District, and I think I got one point more than 445 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 3: the president. Don't tell him I said that if he 446 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 3: were to ask me. If he were to ask me, 447 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 3: I'd say, you carried me, mister president. But but all 448 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 3: kidding aside, I think we should look at that agenda, 449 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 3: and that should be our agenda. 450 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: America first should be ourgenta. 451 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 452 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon podcast. Well, and I agree with you 453 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: on the DEI thing. I think we should be calling 454 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: them out. I mean, the Democrats didn't even believe in 455 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: their own DEI because if they did, they wouldn't have 456 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: hesitated when Joe Biden stepped out of the race to 457 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: say it's got to be Kamala Harris. But you know 458 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: that they were all looking every direction but Kamala Harris 459 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: because they knew she wasn't qualified. She was never qualified 460 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: to be vice president. She was a DEI higher. 461 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, he said it he said, I'm looking for a 462 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 3: black female and his thing. I mean, yeah, And I 463 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 3: was criticized for saying that. I said, maren'tie, you can't 464 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: say that stuff, you know, I said, but Biden said it. 465 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 3: Don't accuse me. I'm just repeating what Biden said, what 466 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 3: the president at the time said. 467 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: So, yeah, you know, it's just to me, it's I'm 468 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 2: so sick. 469 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 3: Of everybody being wooses. And you see, the wises are 470 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 3: lising in numbers, and folks like me numbers are going up. 471 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 3: And because I'm sick of it, and I think America 472 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 3: is sick of it. 473 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 2: And that's why. 474 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: Podcasts like yourself yours are so successful right now, because 475 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 3: you're telling the truth and the left as an know 476 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 3: what to do with it.

You don't care about the 490 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: fact that people don't like comedy anymore, and it has 491 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: benefited you. I mean, I come from the era of 492 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: some of the funniest shows on television where they said 493 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: all kinds of inappropriate things, and you just continue that 494 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: on because you don't take things too seriously.

I said, 508 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: you may be America's mayor, but I was Knox County's mayor, 509 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 3: and I told him, I said, you know, that is 510 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 3: the best job you can have, because you got somebody 511 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 3: that needs got emergency workers that were snowed in. I 512 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 3: can send the ploals down and get them out. You know, 513 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 3: I didn't have to have a committee meeting. Washington, DC 514 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 3: is too much about about how this will appeal. You know, 515 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 3: it took me over a year to pass a bill 516 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 3: out of the House to defund the Taliban. We found 517 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 3: out we were sending them forty million dollars a week 518 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 3: a week, forty millions. I had a memo on my desk, 519 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 3: I think from the State Department, who's no friend of 520 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 3: mine and probably no friend of yours, said that we 521 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 3: probably sent them close to over five billion dollars. 522 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: At the time. 523 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 3: It was a classified document that was got unclassified and 524 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: I got a hold of it, and that's why I 525 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: put it out. But the truth is is that you know, 526 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 3: we're not all hungers. Just doesn't get it, neither party, 527 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 3: and they need a wake up call. And I hope 528 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 3: these elections are that wake up call and we give 529 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 3: us the debts that we need. We need more than 530 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 3: twelve percent of population to vote. We need preachers to 531 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: preach the gospel. We need people to get bold. We 532 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 3: need parents to tell their kids what's right and to 533 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 3: start looking over their shoulders. That's one good thing about COVID. 534 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 3: One thing positive came out of COVID, And those little 535 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 3: kids were at home for looking over their shoulders. At 536 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 3: what in the world they were studying? What you know, 537 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 3: the science in the psychology of all this nonsense that 538 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: our kids are being forced fit, And then you wonder 539 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 3: why our countries turn out like it is. That's why 540 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 3: it is. We haven't been paying attention, and now we're 541 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: paying attention.

If you're a hunter, 545 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: go out and vote. There are certain demographics that don't 546 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: like to go out and vote, but your rights are 547 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: being taken away, so get out there and do it. 548 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: But I appreciate everything that you do every single day. 549 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: Congressman Tim Burchett.
