It will make you proud to be an American. And in case you're wondering, yes, this is exactly what we voted for. We're going to have other members of

Congress joining us here. Tim Burch has got a flight to catch, so we're going to let it rip and roll. Ladies and gentlemen, make sure that you don't be like Congress. Don't get yourself into debt. We're like $37, $36 trillion in debt. $36. Okay, yeah. Don't get yourself into debt. We're like $37, $36 trillion in debt. Don't get yourself into debt. American financing can get you out of debt using your home equity. Make sure that you are not getting drowned out by what I consider criminal credit card rates at 20% and 30%. This is the kind of thing that is a nation breaker, but it's also the kind of thing that's a home breaker and you want to be able to run your home. You want to be able to run your nation like you would run your own house.

So, ladies and gentlemen, American Financing can set you up today. 10-minute call can change everything. Call American Financing today at 888-528-1219. That's 888-528-1219, AmericanFinancing.net, slash Benny to get your fiscal house in order. All right. Here we go. Celebrate good times. Come on.

Congressman Tim Burchett has not slept. He's been awake for 24 maybe hours, 48 hours. Almost 40. Almost 40 hours. All right. The floor is yours, Congressman. What's up? Congratulations on getting this bill passed.

What happened? Well, thank you, Benny. Thanks for coming into my very humble office. A lot. Right at the end, you know, the SALT stuff was in play, which is interesting. One of the major players in the SALT thing slept through the dadgum vote. A little hit trivia for you there. I bet Trump's going to bust his ass.

Excuse my language. But no. Was he sleeping on the House floor? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Didn't make it to the vote. Missed two Republican votes. So it was a one-vote difference. The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, he passed.

Thomas Massey voted against it. And one other Republican did. So it was a one-person deal. And, you know, they pitched a fit on that SALT stuff. But anyway, SALT, state and local tax, I don't like it, but compromise is part of the deal. When I raised the speed limit in Tennessee, I asked for 85. I took 70.

Of course, I brought Peyton Manning to the House floor the week prior. I'm pretty sure I could have got 100 miles an hour and communism that week, but I didn't do it. I was, you know, don't like the communists. But, no, it's a good thing. It's the largest tax cut in American history. It really is. And the average Tennessean is going to, you know,

a guy making $70,000 a year, family of four or something, they could be out of pocket thousands of dollars more if we didn't pass this. It deregulated the oil industry. Excuse Biden, you know, they didn't lie to us about the oil industry. They did permit more oil wells, but dadgummit, they didn't permit any more pipelines. So Trump took the, you know, I don't like regulations on pipelines. You know, that's what he told us. So he took the dadgum pipeline, dadgum. He took, and that was, that was, can we get some dadgums in the comments? Can we get, can we get some Tim Burgess up in the comments?

Yeah, that's right. All right. Thank you. in the comments yeah can we get some tim burgess up in the comments yeah that's right all right thank you and um uh yeah uh they reduced the tax on no tax on social security um seniors over i'm having to read this folks because it's you know these lawyers seniors over 65 years old making less than 75 000 or 150 000 filing jointly will be able to deduct $4,000 from their taxes or 8,000 jointly. So that's pretty cool. If you say 529 savings plans in an earned interest savings plan that used for educational purposes, it's been expanded now to allow for expenses at trade schools, private schools and homeschooling. So that's a good thing.

Let's see. Waste, abuse, fraud, Medicaid. The Democrats are saying, oh, you're going to cut all these poor people off. Well, if they're here illegally or they're gaming the dadgum system, then they kick their butts off of it. And that's what we should be doing. And all they're doing is rattling the sabers and scaring people. And they ought to be looking after the least amongst us. And they're not. And shame on Chuck Schumer and dadgummit, CNN. I saw that thing. I wished I could have gotten on CNN that day.

I ripped ABC, and they backed off on me. But anyway, so that's pretty much what it is. It's the largest tax cut in American history. So that's a pretty killer thing, Benny. It's not great, okay? It's not the greatest we could do. We should cut. I mean, gosh, we ought to go through this thing like a dose of salts, man. We ought to be, but this is a start. So we know we got a taste of it. America needs to start holding our feet to fire and we've got to start passing those executive orders. Yeah. What about doge cuts? Is there going to be a doge bill?

Well, there ought to be some of that it's in here. Some of it is in here. It's, you know, tucked in different parts, but no. And we've got to do that and we've got to get the guts to do it. USAID. I mean all that crazy stuff, $10 million for circumcisions in Madagascar, as I've stated many times it's voluntary, but still $10 million. Do y'all really think they're going for that? Heck no. It's going in somebody's dadgum pocket. It's what it's doing. Let's wake up. Let's just call them out. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

Trump's in the white house. He calls everybody out. He caught up that dadgum African president yesterday, which was beautiful. He calls out the head dude in Ukraine, Zelensky. That was beautiful. And so it's all fair game. Let's call it out. What we talk about at the kitchen table, let's start talking about it in Washington, D.C. Quit going through a censor or a think tank. Let's do a poll. No, if you think it's wrong, call it out. And we need to start doing that in Washington. And we got to get out of bed with these people. We got to get out of bed with the Chinese and their corrupt lobbyists. Eric Swalwell's office is right next door. So you could probably hear that. You got to get out of bed with the Chinese. It's going to offend

Eric Swalwell. He's going to be very upset about that. He's going to take that personally, Congressman. Possibly. Possibly. Just a reminder that on the Congressman's desk is UFOs and nukes. This is the reading that... Was that a cheers? I get more...

Is that the cheers, Klein? I get more dead gum UFO books because I just don't have time to read them all. I apologize to everybody. All right. Okay. So let's dive down into the politics behind all this. So you're saying, okay, so we're taking a step back.

We did a poll and we asked which congressman would you like to hear from on the bill? Just a reminder, this is also something that's on the congressman's. Somebody made that for me. This is awesome. Back when I had a beard. I got a blunt and facial tattoos. Democrat senators would fly down to meet with you and have a margarita if this is what you really look like. So, all right. So, tell us about the process here. Our audience knows that you have never lied to them. And more than that, they know that you've been brutally honest with them. You said it's not the best that you could do. I think that realists understand that the Congress is pretty, pretty divided. Just a couple of seats here and there. Three seats, whatever. A few heart attacks away from a majority. That's what Trump said. I like saying a flu season, but yeah. So talk us through the process here.

I know, President, this is being seen as a massive victory for Trump in order to unite all sides. Do you agree with that? I do. I do. The moderates, the left-wing members, they had to have something to take home because, frankly, they're in districts where Kamala Harris or Kamala,

whichever it is, I never remember, She won by 14 or 15 points. And yet we have a Republican congressman in that district. Now they're not going to be with us. They're not going to be with 85% of the time, but we get them sometimes. And that's better than having another, another Marxist in those seats. So, and we've got some out in California that needed the salt thing as well. So hopefully that'll help them. We hold our nose and get that, but we got the, we got some of those Medicaid work requirements. And I think that's the, that says to America, That says if you're on food stamps, if you're on food stamps,

you have to be looking for a job. If you're able, if you're able now, and that's what the Democrats, they kept saying, Oh, you're going to cut the, no, we're not. No, we're able. If you're able. And that's what the Democrats, they kept saying, oh, you're going to cut these. No, we're not. No, we're not. A single mom out there with a couple of kids that's entitled to these, maybe not entitled, I don't know what the correct word is, that qualifies for these things. We're not kicking them off.

But if you're gaming the dadgum system, yeah, we're going to kick your butt off. You're going to have to get a dadgum job. And you ought to. You ought to. Border security. This is the most America's ever spent on the U.S. border? Absolutely. 100%.

You know, the Democrats wouldn't let us spend $4 billion in Trump's first term. That's right. Because they said we were broke. And then they turned right around and gave $250 billion to Zelensky in Ukraine. No strings attached. Yeah. And also because the traitor Paul Ryan lied to us. He lied to us. He straight up lied to the crane. No, no, no strings attached. Yeah. And also, also because the trader, Paul Ryan lied to us. He lied to us. He straight up lied to the, we have,

we have the ad of Paul Ryan going to the border and saying, I'm going to build the wall. He rode a horse and he has a cowboy hat on and he lied. He backstabbed. He can't ride no horse. He's from Wisconsin. Probably don't even ride a Harley. If he did, it's one of those guys with a man bun, probably an electric Harley. I'm ticked off He's from Wisconsin. He probably don't even ride a Harley. If he did, it's one of those guys with a man bun, probably an electric Harley.

I'm ticked off at Harley, man. Trump said something about Harley the other day about, you know, it's not, they got these Indians, and they're not made in India, and I'm like, I got a 47 Indian chief. I know he should have called on me. I'm mad at Harley because Ronald Reagan saved their ass.

Saved their ass on tariffs, and that's what Trump needs to talk about. All right. I'm sorry. We got the Paul Ryan ad to play beside. Now we, okay. So, so you're saying, so you're, so the, the contention, the big takeaways here is trillions in mandatory cuts. First time. So we always do the non-mandatory cuts. Okay. And that's, that's the difference. Explain the difference please. Okay. Medicare, Medicaid, generally your welfare or your mandatory spending.

And we found waste, abuse, and fraud, and we're able to cut that. About what? 800 billion, something like that. And some people think it could be a lot more. And that's sort of a question of how much is it going to cut? Because when these criteria start going through, and yeah, those liberal federal judges will probably sue us all. But I don't care. They're going to lose in the end.

Supreme Court will uphold it because it is the right thing to do. And so we'll go down that route. But you asked the process. It's just different committees in their areas of jurisdiction did different things. And the education committee worked on the education component of transportation, and everybody was assigned to make some cuts. And by and far, Benny, they cut, as my daughter would say, ginormous amounts more than they were told to cut. And so that helped out a lot. But you're talking cutting billions and we run up a trillion dollar debt every hundred days.

So it's not for show. It's the right thing to do. Waste, abuse and fraud in any department needs to be eliminated. But we've got to look at the structure and the structure is broken. We have to encourage people to work, not to sit on their butts and draw a check. So there's a lot to celebrate in the bill? There's a lot of work to do on top of it. This is not a peak. This is a plateau we're going to build on. Starting an online business can be incredibly intimidating, especially if you're like 90% of

businesses in America and you're an entrepreneur. You haven't done this before. You're building it from scratch. This is what we did when we launched our first Christmas ornament. We had never made a Christmas ornament, but we decided to launch one with the electoral map from the 2024 election. And little did we know we would sell 50,000 Christmas ornaments. I still think I'm the number one Christmas ornament salesman in America. How did we deliver so many Christmas ornaments? We got them all out the door by Christmas so that they could sit beautifully on your tree. Well, the answer to that is Shopify. Shopify is the backbone of our online store here at The Benny Show.

Trump seems really happy with it. Well, he ought to be. Now it's got to go to the Senate. Alex, can you send me that Trump post, please, in our production chat so we can read it? And we apologize. Ladies and gentlemen, we're not going to be doing play-besides or ads.

We tried to put one up. It just doesn't work well with the two-shot here, so we're just going to... It's on me. Blame it on me. It's on me. I got like eight track take player technology. So you were there, you were there with the president in his meeting two days ago. I did not go to that. No, I was not in that. That was freedom caucus. That's a mistake. A lot of people might, I am not in the freedom caucus. It was a a Freedom Caucus exclusive. But I was briefed every time something came about, I was getting a text from one of the members or, you know, when you go see the

president, it's like, I always think of Forrest Gump, went to see the president again, because you got to go an hour before and you wait and there's something always going on the world because he's a dadgum president he's not freaking joe biden and um you know it's not jill running the show it's that young it's donald trump and he runs the freaking show and something going on and you know and he might be 30 minutes to an hour late and you're you got to go through security and then you know when you leave you got to talk to the press and out on the sticks and all that and it just blows your whole freaking day and i had other stuff to do i had constituent

stuff i had to deal with had committee meetings so you know it's not like i got my freaking feelings hurt and i had to do a lot of media so um how much media we do that day how many nine nine nine media hit so you know i was pretty busy and I was also trying to analyze what was in the bill and it was just a constant thing. So it's not like I got my feelings hurt. I want you to comment on the president. This is a major criticism from our audience. The major criticism from our audience is that Congress refuses to solidify President Trump's victory by passing his agenda. So I'm going to read you Donald Trump's post this morning. He is what seems to be ecstatic on Truth Social. One big, beautiful bill has passed the House of Representatives.

This is arguably the most significant piece of legislation that's ever been signed in the history of the country. The bill includes massive tax cuts, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, tax deductions when you purchase American-made vehicle. That's interesting. Along with strong border security measures, pay raises for ICE and Border Patrol agents, funding for the Golden Dome, Trump savings accounts for newborn babies, and much more. Great job by Speaker Johnson and leadership. Thank you to Republicans who voted yes on this historic bill. How many Republicans voted against it? Two. Two and one passed. Okay. So you can say three. And now it's time for our friends in the United States Senate to get to work as soon as possible. No time to waste. The Democrats have

lost control of themselves and are aimlessly wandering around showing no confidence, grit, determination. They've forgotten their landslide loss presidential election and are warped past, warped in the past, hoping someday to revive open borders for the world's criminals to pour into our country. Men to be able to play in women's sports and transgender for everyone.

Trump says to transgender everybody. Oh, he said in the meeting. Democrats wanted to just transgender everyone. They make it mandatory to get a driver's license. You got to be transgender. You know, his speech writer, I mean, all he's got to do is say, he'd walk in and say, I'm Donald Trump. And that's all his speech writer needs mean all he's got to do is say he bought and say i'm donald trump and that's all his speech rather than just to write because trump

ain't gonna follow anything you know okay so i mean listen i don't mean to like sit here and just read social posts but uh how this doesn't get passed without president trump if he had not interjected you're exactly right we would we'd be here over the weekend and not get anything passed okay and so this was trump what like this is the the art of the deal this is just like the master stroke art of the deal bringing together because there are quite a few factions yeah it's like quite a few angry little factions like all splintered off remember nba basketball game i don't watch them because they're dirt bags they kneel during the pledge of allegiance i don't care if it was five years ago they're still dirt bags they're overpaid school brats. I hope they're not advertisers with you because they won't be now, I guess.

But anyway, you know, all you got to do is watch the last two minutes of the game because that's when it, you know, they could be 50 points behind. They don't play defense. They just run down and shoot. And that's what this is about. The last two minutes of the game, watch the last two minutes of the game and that's when Trump gets engaged and he sees where everybody, because it's a great, it's perfect

because he lets everybody beat the crap out of each other and he sees where he's got to get, he's got to make his points and he gets it. He calls a man, you know, and says,

hey, you know, we got to do this, got to do that and I'm like, I mean, who tells the freaking president no? You know, I mean, I have, but it's, you know, but to do this go do that and i'm like i mean who tells the freaking president no you know i mean it i have but it's you know but we have a good relationship he doesn't curse me

or anything last time he called me we talked for 15 minutes but you know the one thing you did say that i wanted to and i and i said in the meeting i asked president trump this i said um mr president we need to get off our ass and start working i wish you would tell everyone how important it is to codify your executive orders and that's the next thing he said we need to get off our ass and start working. I wish you would tell everyone how important it is to codify your executive orders. And that's the next thing he said we need to get. That's what you said to Trump? Yeah, I did. And that's Jake Sherman.

I've said, so it's got to be true. It's on the freaking Internet. So anyway, no, we got to we got to start working on that. That's got to. And the trouble with Congress, we do a freaking victory lap. And here we are 100 over 100 days in we finally got this thing passed we should have passed it the first 30 days and they're like what was that that just ran by me oh that's a freaking glacier that's i mean this place

is so dadgum slow benny and they're worthless and until y'all get on us and tell us get off your ass and do your job or we're gonna primary you. That's what happens and y'all did finally and now we've got this thing passed. Do it Klein, do it. We got a sound effect for the congressman. All right, so it sounds like, what's it called? It's not Death Valley. What's it? What is it at Tennessee?

What's the name? What's the name? Neyland Stadium. From the Vols? Is that like a nickname? Oh, I don't know. They get all kinds of crazy names. I don't know.

That's, I don't know. We're going to go to a game. But yeah, man, you can come down. You sit with me. What's next? So what's next? Okay. So we've locked in. It could be better. Obviously, it could be better. You sit with me. What's next? So what's next? Okay. So we've locked in.

It could be better. Obviously, it could be better. What do you want to see next? Our production team is raging about, listen, doge cuts. Doge cuts. Can we get doge cuts next? And we can if you all force us to. But here's the problem, as I've stated, and I don't care. They get mad at me.

They came to see me on the house floor and I've stated, and I don't care. They get mad at me. They came to see me on the House floor and said, you can't be saying that stuff. You got one over almost a thousand NGOs, non-government organizations working out of Afghanistan. I had Marco Rubio in committee and I asked him, we're giving the Taliban 40 million. This is just an example. 40 million a week. Two years I've been working on this. I got a freaking memo from the dadgum State Department, and they're no friends of mine. They're no friends of this country. That's the deep state there ever was one. They've told us that we've given them close to $5 billion. And we're still doing it because it goes to the NGOs. The Democrats fought that amendment that we added NGOs into the bill.

Why? Because there's a thousand NGOs and you know good and well that that money's coming right back to Washington. That's what Elon told us. Paper trail runs right back. Now, can I find it? No, I don't have access to those kinds of computers, but that's why they're squealing. They're squealing about it.

So squealing about USAID cuts. You're saying that our suspicions are confirmed that the money that's spent at USAID goes right back at a Democrat campaign coffers. Almost a hundred percent, almost a hundred percent. There's still some Republicans. I think if they are, you know, that's why they leadership, they sent somebody to see me, they sent my buddy and he sits beside me, 10 men, some of the chairman, they're kind of upset what you said and, you know, go through all this stuff. And I said, but you know, it's the truth, right? And he goes, well, yeah, we know

it's the truth, but you just can't keep saying it. And I keep saying it. So that's why I always tell people I'm not suicidal. You made a lot of news on our show saying that you believe that there could have been some real payola with some of these. Have to be 8,000 pardons. I said 2000. It's come out. Somebody said something like 8,000 freaking pardons. You think Joe couldn't remember what he'd had for breakfast. He couldn't remember what the dadgum bathroom was. And, and, and he's, he, he, he reviewed 8,000 files on pardons.

Give me a freaking break. This is so shady. And it's just Washington, D.C. It happens every day. That's the thing. It happens all the time. But with Trump in there, we're focusing on some of this stuff. And every department, every department is suspect.

And, you know, you just can't get past it. LaMonica McIver, are you in favor of kicking her out of Congress or punishing her? Every department is suspect. And, you know, you just can't get past it. LaMonica McIver, are you in favor of kicking her out of Congress or punishing her to some degree? Yeah, she committed a dadgum crime. She got up there and she said, and then they tried to compare it to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gates and some others who went to the jail to see the J6ers who were jailed, weren't given any due process. They didn't push their way in. They didn't push anybody out of the way. They didn't touch anyone. Well, you know, Matt, I mean, he's a lover, not a fighter.

He's like me. I mean, incredibly good looking guy. He's not going to damage this. And so now Marjorie, I worked out with her in the gym. She could whoop a man. She's strong, dude. I would never cross Marjorie. She's my dear friend. I'm glad she's on my side. My gosh, man, she can, I mean, I'm in there and I'm, I'm, you know,

just trying to get, try not to pull a muscle, get my tennis shoes on her. It's boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm like, what the heck's going on out here? She's dead lifting hundreds of pounds. I'm like, what in the world, man? She's built. She's strong. She's great. So what, so what's the score our audience? So this, this chat, this chat right here, love hearts, the chat, this chat right here. Look, there we go. Hearts out to the chat. You see all these dad gums, look at this. See all these dad gums. Sweet. Sweet. I got it now. I was wondering what was going on there.

So tell them what they should think of Republican leadership, right? So they're going to say that, you know, there's quite a contingency of our audience is not a huge fan of Speaker Johnson. I'm not always a fan of him. Should this pull some people over to have, like, at the very least, Republican leadership is moving in the right direction? And quite frankly, you know, like, we want to hold people accountable let's just look at reality who can get the votes to replace him nobody it's all factioned up he's our guy let's stick with what we got it's like moses moses wasn't you know he didn't want to even do it he didn't want to he didn't want to run the jewish folks out there. And he ended up 40 years in the freaking

wilderness. But as it turned out, looking back, he's pretty good. And I always say this, he doesn't cheat on his wife and he's not a thief. And so that's a good criteria of somebody in leadership because he can't be compromised on those things. You can fit the member of Congress that apply to that standard in a lifeboat, in a Titanic lifeboat. Yeah. You can fit him in the dinghy. Yeah. But no, they, but.

Tim Burchett doesn't cheat on nobody because he just gave us an office tour and he sleeps in the office. He showed us his bed. He sleeps, he's got a little closet here and he just sleeps right in the office. Yeah. But it's yeah, I've got a daughter who rides horses. So that's where my money goes. I sold all my dad got motorcycles. I just got a few. I'm selling them on eBay too. So what the heck? I'm going to come out here one day. I'm going to be in a, just in my boxer shorts or whatever your suit sold it on ebay have i showed you my wing tips look at this 16 on ebay can you believe that really they're antique wing tips made by sears made in america because i'm so

sick of tired everything made in china i finally found some wingtip and then the heels come up what wait what what what airport were we in when them things came off dallas airport some flop flip flopping through there going to sound like clydesdale's going boom boom boom i got a picture of me on the cloud silver it's an awesome one and then um and i i got so i have to be there's a wall of louisville louisville louisville there's a there's a wall of louis. Louisville. Louisville. Louisville. There's a wall of Louisville. Louisville. Louisville. Louisville.

We got a Louisville in Tennessee spelled the same way. Anyway, I got 26 bucks in these total. I just want to be totally. All right. So the Congressman needs to catch a flight to get home, but you've been awake for 48 hours, 48 straight hours, got the bill passed. Can we get a round of applause here for the congressman? That sounds more like a Spartan chant.

Can we get the round of applause? Somebody's getting burned at the stake. No, stick with Benny. He's got the inside scoop on most of this stuff. I hear people say, well, I heard this on the Benny show, and I got to check it into it, and that government's the truth. So pray for our country. Stick with our leaders. Let's start electing some people with some guts.

I think a lot of congressmen are like Hollywood. They'll do the right thing. I mean, they'll put out an Andy Griffith show if it's profitable for them. People in Congress will do what's right if you force them to do it, just like we should be forcing Hollywood more. But force us to do what's right. Hold us accountable. When you don't do what you say to do, vote our butts out of office. We're going to lose our country.

This debt thing is real and we are compromised in a lot of different areas. Will you commit to bringing up the Doge bill? Oh, 100%. We've already been dialing them all up. The problem you're going to see though, is it can take weeks to get a bill and then leadership can come in. This is another thing that's stacked against somebody like myself who's not in leadership. They can leadership brings a bill and it goes to the front line and mine goes back to the back of line. And that's why I've got my staff back here working around the clock on those bills, trying to get the ones because some of them Trump just said, do away with paper straws. You know, and so I got to find where all the paper straws are throughout.

And that's legit. He said that. And, you know, so I got to find where all the paper straws are throughout the and that's legit he said that and you know and so it's Trump so we're trying to work at all of them congressman he's got a flight to catch we're going to continue the show we got a lot more but uh just a massive shout out massive shout out to the great Tim Burchett uh and Klein why don't you pop up Tim Burchett social make sure that everybody't you pop up Tim Burchett social, make sure that everybody's following and he's loaning us his office. We get to do this as a first time doing a,

we'll do the rest of the stream from the Congressman's desk as he catches his flight, his beautiful family, fill the brainwaves. I want to give you something, Danny. This is my Trump inauguration, 2025. We actually sold out of this thing.

It says, thank y'all for sending me here. That's what I always say on my... I don't think I used it, but I'd wash it anyway. Here's some readings for your flight. UFOs and nukes. Save that. One day it'll be worth nothing. Thanks, brother.

That's great. Oh, hey, this is my mama. This is the coolest thing ever. This is my mama. She flew an airplane during the Second World War. I had lunch the other day with my buddy Kid Rock, his real name is Bobby. And he always says that, you know, he's the American Badass. And I explained to him, I was raised by the American Badass. The great Tim Burchett, everyone. All right. Sweet. Refrigerator's full or whatever.

All right. Fridge is full. Okay. Man. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, we have other members of Congress that will be joining us. We are excited about it. I'm having to catch up.

I'm having to catch up here. So please forgive me. And this is our first time ever letting a rip from a congressman's desk. We did go live during the Cash Patel confirmation vote inside of the Senate. And this is our first time ever just kind of letting a rip from a congressman's desk. And here we are. I wish I could show you the full office. It's really beautiful.

In fact, we can. We did an office tour. Did you send that in? I did. Okay. We did an office tour. Did you send that in? I did. Okay. We did an office tour with Tim Burchett, production team. Let me know if you got that. Let me know if you got that.

That's right. I'll be drinking my coffee out of the Tim Burchett mug. You never know what's going to happen in D.C. We didn't plan on this. We had one of those sanitized. And what up, chat? Freaking love you. You just never know what you're going to get here. We had one of those sanitized professional studios booked right so that we could do the show

and kind of like you know you know do a standard show and do it with our professional setup and everything but as soon as i saw that the bill was passed i was like who do we need to hear from on this bill and we're gonna hear from tim birchett. And I texted him, and he's like, come on down, man. Let's go. Let's do it. I've been asleep for like zero hours, so let's go. We have a Tim Burchett office tour. I think we have to do that.

Let me know. Oh, you got to – are you on Telegram, Nick? Yes. Okay, so just pop it over. ALX, connect with Nick on Telegram. It will be the best way to send it. It's having trouble sending. Telegram is much better.

But anyway, ladies and gentlemen, here we go. Locking back in. I'm ready to rock. We have other members of Congress who will be joining the program here. Forgive me as we load up the script and as we load up more that we're going to talk about in just a moment with Representative Andy Ogles, who is spectacular, also from Tennessee, and Representative Pat Harrigan, who's a kick-ass Green Beret, who's going to be joining us as well. Tonight, or actually in just a few hours, we will be at the White House. We'll be at the White House with RFK. It's going to be neat. We're going to be doing some MAGA and some MAHA work.

And let me tell you, there's been some problems at the White House. There's been some fatalities, let's just say, at the White House. We're going to cover that in just a second. Get your big boy britches on because that was really exciting what happened yesterday. The world changed forever yesterday when Donald Trump dragged the South African president into the White House and just nuked him. I mean, nuked him in front of the entire world. Ladies and gentlemen, we'll get to that. If your health is something that you care deeply about, then let me advise you. You should consider sauna treatments.

Holy smokes. The South African president yesterday went into the Oval. ALX, let me know. Do we have the full clip? I want that full breakdown. Because what happened was South African president comes in and says, no, we're not genociding whites in our country. But they are actually doing that. And President Trump then played the video for the South African president of members of his party calling for the genocide of whites. It's an unbelievable moment in American history. It's

similar to what happened with Zelensky. And we're going to hop in. We're going to jump into this right now. Let's freaking go. Natalie here, somebody here to turn that. I could show you a couple of things. And I would I just I have to it has to be responded to. So let me see the articles, please, if you would. And excuse me, turn the lights down, turn the lights down and just put this on. It's right behind you You are going to occupy land? Now that we get occupied land, that's who you are.

Now this is very bad. These are burial sites right here. Burial sites.

Over a thousand of white farmers, and those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. Each one of those white things you see is a cross, and there's approximately a thousand of them. They're all white farmers, the family of white farmers. And those cars aren't driving their stop there to pay respects to their family member who was killed. And it's a terrible sight. I've never seen anything like it.

Both sides of the road you have crosses. Those people were all killed. Have they told you where that is, Mr. President? Yes. No, I'd like to know where that is, because this I've never seen. Okay. I mean, it's in South Africa, that's why. We need to find out. There we go. All right. Okay. What's up? Okay. We are here live now. That clip allowed us to bring in our next member of Congress. Please introduce yourself, sir, and tell us, how did you vote on this big, beautiful bill?

Hey, Pat Harrigan, 10th District of North Carolina, voted a big yes on the big, beautiful bill. Congratulations on the big, beautiful bill. Thank you. That's incredible. You guys are really amazing. You got to let it play through. Try it again, Clyde. That's incredible. You guys are really amazing. Clyde, you've got to let it play through. Try it again, Clyde. Try it again. Try it again. Wow.

There you go. We've got a live studio audience here. Pat Harrington is the first time on the show. Just came back from Washington, the Vietnam Memorial, which is pretty dope. Yeah, there was a group of veterans every year get together and go down wash the vietnam memorial it's a really really cool thing because what you got to do before you wash it you got to prepare it and to prepare it you got to take all the mementos that people come and bring from all over the country and set down for their loved ones uh and and just what what's down

there the little mementos with the different scriptures on it, different inscriptions, different little pieces of I remember you and this, that, or the other. It's a really special touching time. Yeah. Okay. So that went well. Everything's nice and sparkly. Absolutely. Yeah.

And doing that. It's the most powerful memorial. It's the most powerful memorial in BC. Without a doubt. Because it's the first time the country really turned its back on its military. And to go do that and have that kind of be the cherry on top after this big, beautiful bill in the last 36 hours that we've been working on it with no sleep. And to get to go down there and finish that, that was really cool. But you're a Green Beret, bro.

So you're like ready to rip. But I'm an old Green Beret. I'm not a young guy anymore so so what's up what's uh what's what's uh what's harder being going through green beret uh becoming a green beret and going through that training in that school uh and that skull cracking or having to sit here in congress and wait for something to happen it's it's different both are difficult and you know one is difficult from the perspective of you're being really tough on your body. Uh, you're being tough on, on, uh, you know, mentally anguishing, right. In terms of the training or whatever it might be. And the

other is tough up here because you, it's so easy to see the problems. Like everybody sees the problems, but up here we don't deal with them. Right. In our private companies, we see a problem, we solve the problem immediately. And up here, we study the problem. We spend a lot of money dancing around the problem, waiting to kind of see if the problem will still persist, you know, five, six, seven years later and never really get to solve the problem until it absolutely becomes a crisis. And that's really frustrating to watch. Yeah. So this is a good step, at least in a neutral or plateaued direction, right? Like this isn't what everybody wanted from the bill, but the bill is like a good step in the right direction. It's definitely not what everybody wanted from the bill, particularly if you're on the more conservative side of the house. But the reality is probably the best of what could be negotiated.

It absolutely encompasses the broad majority of President Trump's policies and gives them the permanence of law. And overall, from that perspective, the best of what you can get across the finish line is the definition of a good bill. fraud Republican leaders that promised us border security and funding and nothing ever happened. So this is billions for border security, 275 billion? Yes, it's a lot. And ultimately what that hopefully does is it makes it impossible for future administrations to fail to obey and enforce the law. Because at some point, President Trump reduced illegal crossings by 99% just by changing authorities. And it's something that us military guys know. We didn't lose the last 30 years of war

because we lost the war. We lost the war because our politicians lost the war because they tied our hands behind our backs and they handcuffed us and they didn't let us do what we do best, which is go win. And President Biden didn't allow the Border Patrol to fundamentally do their job because he didn't give them the authority to do it. That being said, we want to make sure that that never happens. We want to have an absolutely world-class border where we know every single person that's coming across, who they are, what their intentions are, make sure that we don't have national security concerns here. And that's exactly what we've done.

So this has got to be a big victory day for you. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's a favorite part of the bill. My personal favorite part of the bill was the suppressors. I'm a big Second Amendment guy. So I come out of the firearm space. So is it taking the tax off the suppressor? Yeah, it takes the tax off the suppressor. And I wish we went further with that, too. That sucks, man, because I bought a suppressor like a couple months ago. It's going to get a lot easier, Benny. It's about to get a lot easier and cheaper. Okay, walk back.

That's what makes me happy for my fellow countrymen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What a pain in the ass that process was. No doubt. Oh, great. You just bought this thing. Now you've got to wait eight months to get it. Yeah, crazy. That's insane, man. Yeah. For something that's not even a firearm.

That's right. I could like 300 years ago, I could have bought a cannon. Right. And just wandered around Massachusetts with my cannon. That's exactly right. It's wild how we've decided to classify some things. And, you know, the capricious and arbitrary nature of how the ATF goes and does business. Tell me. We're starting to bring that to it. I haven't done a lot of research on this. So tell me what's happened now with suppressors. Well, really, all it did is just took the $200 stamp away. And we wanted to go much further. But really, Rich Hudson deserves the credit for getting this into reconciliation. He did a ton

of work on it and really kind of put his foot down. But a lot of folks were kind of working in the background alongside of him to make sure that, we notched some 2a wins here because you know it looked like we had this golden opportunity to get a lot of 2a wins yeah and we weren't going to get any and there was kind of some issues and reasons for that but uh we we at least got one here and i think it's a bit where would you like to see him go so in a dream bill congressman where would you like to see it i'd like to see the full HPA brought in, right? So where suppressors aren't even regulated as a, certainly under the NFA, would love to see them not even regulated as firearm because they're a firearm accessory,

right? I mean, it's a, and people think, you know, they call them silencers, right? And nothing's silent about a silencer. I mean, it's still loud, but at the very least you get to preserve your hearing. Most other countries, even European countries, as liberal as they've become, you can just go in and buy a suppressor like that. Is that so? Yes. 100%. Yeah. Because what is it going to do? You're going to hit somebody over the head with a cylindrical object. Tim Burchard just gave me that. That's all it is. I don't know what's on Tim Burchard's desk. I didn't know what was in it yeah wasn't sure what i was picking up so we're talking about going there next that in a carburetor yeah yeah this is this is like one of those pinky what are we doing tonight you know trying to take over the world tim burchett things right i love the reference

i appreciate it older millennials stand up and be proud. Okay. Yeah. There's a kid. Anything can happen in Tim Burgess. This is really something else. That's his bed right there. I can't believe it. Super nervous being in here, by the way, we're on the baseball team together and I've come to know Tim. There's a whole wall of bats. Is this right? I feel like I've come to know too much in some regards. Yeah. He was telling us about working out with marjorie taylor green and how she kicked

his ass she's a beast yeah okay so so in a you know so in a in a bill that is properly written with the direction of second amendment freedom yeah what would we see out of this republican congress what would you what would you have crafted you know what what i really would like to see is is the entire ultimately right is is constitutional carry. That's the way that it should be. Nationwide. Right. But shy of that, right, because the art of the possible is 50 state reciprocity. And I do think that that was possible in this. I actually kind of tried to go down the road on it a little ways. And it's just there's different ways to do it, creating pay-fors and

you know that's maybe not the best some of that could be good some of it could be bad functionally we could have gotten to uh someone's ability to carry across all 50 states but there just came man we are rolling at the company building as quickly as we can Not a lot of hours in the day left after we are done with our stream and our work. And so it's time to recharge with Bond Charge. Bond Charge sent me a red light face mask, and it has really, truly changed my life. I've really noticed a difference. I'm very much into holistic wellness and health right now. It's the Maha era after all. And this thing can help with wrinkles and facelines, acne, relaxation, razor burns.

and essential for me at the end of every single night. Just 10 to 20 minutes each day. You can use it while cooking a meal or even putting your kids to bed. I can help boost collagen and elastin productions, super lightweight on the face. It doesn't get hot. Got a sleek, lightweight mask and a one-year warranty.

Some potential constitutional issues that, you know, sometimes it's better to just be where you're at right now. And we'll continue to work over that. And I think we're going to get another bite at the apple on reconciliation anyway, as long as we get this, this through the Senate and the Senate,

doesn't completely sabotage the sucker, which they become pretty good at doing. So we should get a second bite at the apple and hopefully we can be a little bit more to a focus. Now that we've got a broad portion of the bigger, you know, picture consequ the bigger you know picture consequential tax things done he's a green beret he's like six seven you could just they just send you over to have a conversation with mr cox you just have a polite conversation that's right right yeah i don't i don't know um if there really is any possibility of having a polite conversation with the senate as i've been taught since i've gotten here, you know, they say that the House, you know, the Democrats,

they're kind of your adversary, but the real enemy up here is the Senate. Yeah. Okay. So speaking of that, military man, law and order, LaMonica McIver punching police, military police, Homeland Security police, actually. And getting arrested for it. That's right. So what should happen there? As she should get arrested for it, she should be prosecuted. That's exactly what should happen. But what about Congress?

So Congress has a role to play here. You know, look, I think Congress has a role to play in terms of being responsible and respectful citizens in their discourse, right? Just because you're Congress doesn't mean that you have any sort of special dispensation that other citizens don't get to have. You're still a member of the citizenry here, and you've got to follow the law. President Trump is creating an environment where, you know, we are going to enforce law and order in this country, and that's exactly what's playing out. That's great. So would you be in favor of censure or kicking her off committees? She's on the Homeland Security Committee. Yo, she's on the Homeland Security Committee, bro.

Which is crazy. I know. I know. Here she's punching Homeland Security officers. It's crazy. So would you be in favor of that? Absolutely. 100%. Yeah. And that's the direction that you were going. Forgive me for not- No, no. I just- Of course. So there's the prosecution that's happening with Luna Haba. You know, she's a friend of the show, invited her on. We want her to kind of explain where that is.

And we don't want to keep gloves on because we don't want this to happen. And we also know that there are members that there are members of the Trump and MAGA movement from New Jersey that languished for years on the same charges that have – there's zero direct evidence that they ever hit or punched or touched a police officer. But on the same charges on January 6th, they were locked up all the way through Trump's pardon. So it was effectively five years of pure law. People from her district, same federal charges, same judges even. And so everyone's here screaming no one's above the law okay fine prove it right yeah that former two-tier system of justice that we had

is is now a one-tier system of justice and it's moving in the right direction okay all right good what about the rest of common what about republican leadership what like how like this is an audience that is we're not haters okay we just the system, we want things to work. What we really want is the codification of President Trump's agenda. We really like the landslide victory. We like winning seven swing states. We think for the American public, like if the Republicans don't backstab the president, we think that it's going to make very much a golden era.

We think we're looking at like 12 or 20 years, maybe 100 years of MAGA leadership in this country, the Republicans need to get off their ass and codify the agenda. Republican leadership seems like this is a good step in the right direction. What's next? Doge? A Doge bill? Executive order bills? Like codifying executive orders for the president?

I think a lot of us would have liked to see some of the savings that were identified in Doge actually codified in this reconciliation bill. Are you a member of the DOGE caucus? I don't know, actually. Yes, I am. But it's, yes, no doubt. I mean, look, we've got serious debt and deficit issues up here. I think everybody understands that.

And this particular bill, it doesn't exacerbate that or those, but it doesn't really make them better. I mean, you got to think, right, we're saving in this reconciliation package. We're going to save $1.6 trillion over the next 10-year budgetary window. We're going to spend $87 trillion in the next 10 years. And so when you take a look at the total savings, you're going to save, you're going to spend $87 trillion. We're saving saving 1.6 trillion of that like all we're doing is we're taking the deficit curve and we're like

just like a tiny bit i mean just like the ever so slightest i mean honestly if if congress was not able to get this type of savings across the board i probably would have left because it's like we're never going to be able to do it. There's no hope whatsoever. And I think that because we at least have something that is going to achieve some modicum of savings, and I think it's going to shave off about $120 billion in the first year from the deficit. Now, our deficit's $1.8 trillion. So take that down to 165, 17, right? Again, just kind of a little tiny blip. It's better than nothing, and it's better than what Congress has done in the past. And so we still have a lot of work to do because we're going to borrow so much more money than

we're going to bring in over even just the next five years, let alone this year, let alone the 10-year budgetary window. We have not made demonstrable progress towards fixing that. Now, what we have done is we have codified some really good policies, and presuming it gets through the Senate the way that it is right now. And those policies should create a pro-growth environment that allows small businesses, middle class, and really every single level of taxpayer to be successful, take more of the money that they earn, keep it in their pocket, invest it the way that they want to invest it in order to grow their wealth or live their American dream. And that will have an impact down the road on our revenues because it will increase revenues. We saw that from the 2017 TCGA. This is great policy, and that's awesome, but good policy,

neutral on debt, not a huge move in the right direction on debt. We got to be cognizant of that, and we got to deal with it. In conclusion, Congressman, he's got to be really happy about what's happening with the american military right now yeah this is this is something that's near and dear to your heart yes it is and it's absolutely if you don't have good if you don't have a yacht good and strong and fit women signing up for the american military then we are going to have a we're going to have a tough role as a country yes so talk me through the changes i don't know how closely you're working with Pete Hegseth, but I assume relatively closely. You are one of the members of Congress that still probably do a push-up. And a pull-up. Yeah. More than one. Okay. We already have recommendations in the chat to say like, well,

Burchett was talking about going to the gym with MTG so the chat now wants us to go do that so you guys got to see Burchett in the gym I mean like the guy is about this thick right I mean he's just I it's great he's in there every day he is in there every single day which them fighting words from Burchett's desk he's not here easy but talk us through talk us through like what like what can we expect over the next couple of years as a reset? We're getting, we're like in a neck snapping period of culture change in the military. Yeah. Talk us through it. Well, from a cultural perspective, right. We want to go back to meritocracy. That's exactly what Pete Hegseth effectively campaigned on in order to become the, the, the selector selection for SecDef and then

ultimately got across the finish line in the senate and he's effectuating that change i mean there there was a cultural rot in the military that i saw as i started to leave so i left the special forces in 2016 one of the last things that i had to do was give my team transgender awareness training no it started to creep in right then yeah Yeah, I didn't do it, but I checked the box and I said that we did. But I mean, that was happening in the special forces at the end of the Obama administration, 2016. Right. And what I saw when I came into Congress in 2025, special forces. Oh yeah. 100%. It's there. It was there. And, you know, like, they don't go along with it.

But it was, it was there, it was being infused into it as I was leaving service. And when I came back in 2025, and now started getting involved in the military again, so basically, like eight years of separation, really, because end of 16, beginning of 25, eight years gap there, what I saw talking to our senior leaders was nothing short of absolute cultural rot. I mean, you know, giving, giving speeches that have land acknowledgements in them, referring to servicemen and service women as service persons, right? That's a very specific term. And when someone says that, when a general gets up and they say that publicly, that is a very, very intentional term.

And it tells you everything you need to know about what's going on in their brain and in their heart. And we have to root that out of the military. It's got to go away because that will cost American blood when reality actually sets in and we have to deal with some really difficult decisions that aren't prioritized by a DEI sort of a schema. So hold on. I know the chat knows the land acknowledgments, but I just want to set the table here. You're telling me that American military generals would get up and say, I'm speaking here on land that was once the Choctaw tribe. I witnessed it personally after coming into office. The same American military that fought to gain that land and gain and spill blood quite famously all across the

nation in order to secure that land. Yes. Yes. And they're sitting there now kneeling before the same conquered tribes. Yes. As American military brass. Yes. That is sickening, bro. That is disgusting. Four star general.

Would they just, would they go to Germany and like kneel before like Nazi high command or like go to, go to Imperial Japan and like surrender. That's effectively surrendering the British in Yorktown. Yes. So they go to Yorktown and be like, this was once a British base, okay?

And we want to like acknowledge, you know, the general, oh shoot, what was it? Cornwallis. We want to acknowledge Cornwallis was here. That's what they're doing? Yes. Oh, man. You're exactly right.

And to give you kind of the perspective on what type of an impact this has, when you say kneeling down and when you say surrendering, I was in Copenhagen a couple weeks ago on a defense trip because we are working very heavily on the Armed services committee to make sure that our european allies are paying their fair share for their own defense that we don't care more about their defense than they do right and and proud to report happy to report that a lot of european countries are actually stepping up they're significantly increasing their defense spending but uh we were with the prime minister of Denmark and the secretary of state equivalent, the minister of defense, all these very senior level folks were talking. And one of our delegation asked, and I said, you know, this is such a beautiful city. How did you preserve the history through World War II? How did Copenhagen survive? And I will not say who said it because it would be an international problem. Right. But I said, oh, that's easy. We surrendered.

Yeah. And you've got to understand like this. This is the mentality we have to root out of our military like it has no place. That was America. No, no, no. That was a foreign, a very senior foreign level person oh man yes okay that's what we call a dei hire it's um you know it's it's scary right when you have that because you got to understand this the military it's it's real um went to west point and everybody at west point and all my peers are like you know pat you get a free education and and you realize you go through it and you're like, man, this is really incredible. This is a great honor. This this education, I didn't have to pay for it. And you realize it is not free the second a bullet snaps right past your head.

It's not free at all. And those decisions become very real. The consequences become very real. And there is no substitute for victory at that point in time. And if we have people that morally equivocate on what what our values ought to be, what we should defense, because I ran for Congress because I was convinced that the way that we left Afghanistan condemned the world to conflict. For real. Yeah, because we've been so weak for so long. Pussies, pussies. One hundred percent. Yeah. And not only that, we slaughtered and killed our own people. Right. Which is crazy. Yeah. Do you remember do you remember watching? I mean, you probably watched it from a very different sense than i did but i think everybody in the audience shout like let me know in the chat if you remember this because we were live during this you were watching the pullout from afghanistan that it was summer 2021 and everyone there was like this feeling that

something horrible was about to happen and you watched the the Taliban swoop in and you watched everything collapse and you saw the helicopters, you know, it's amazing how they buried that footage. You saw the helicopters taken off from the U S embassy. And there was this like, there's this cloud of darkness where it's like, and something horrible is about to happen. It was so predictable. Guys like me, I did not serve. Right. But guys like me,

like just regular Americans could feel that energy. That like these jackasses are so incompetent. They're being so retarded here that there's something terrible about to happen. And it was like when it happened, when that bomb hit, it was like, you know, it makes your blood boil, right? Yeah, it does. And we loosed the chains of darkness around the world through that xr from afghanistan no it's it's it's totally it's i just kind of felt it like i didn't i haven't slept for the last 36 hours i didn't sleep for almost four days when afghanistan fell

because it was so i knew i knew what it did to my kids generation generation. And so we have to set the conditions for us to win the next conflict. And look, up here, my charter, if I could do two things, number one would be don't fight wars we shouldn't fight. It's incredibly important. But we have to absolutely set the conditions to win the ones we have to fight. And what we have to understand is because we've been so weak for so long that we have ceded the choice of whether we enter conflict to our enemies. We are so used in this country to choosing whether we get into a fight or not. And I think that we've been so weak for so long that we no longer are in control of that decision. And we have to be prepared to fight. And the way to win the next conflict is actually to not fight it because we properly set

the conditions to win it and we properly deterred it. That's what we have to do. We absolutely have to transform, fundamentally transform our military. And I think we've actually done that through the reconciliation process, the $150 billion of additional defense spending that we have. Golden Dell? defense spending that we have is largely very good spending. Largely. Not perfect. I'm a freshman here, but from a government perspective, it's largely very good. What I'm now concerned about is the $850 billion baseline that we absolutely have to doge, cut, go through, and reinvest into technologies that will actually help us deter and defeat China. Because if we're being honest, what we've been investing in has not helped us win the last 30

years of war. And we've got to be sober minded about that. It's pretty clear in Ukraine, right? Which is like a straight up proxy war by the CIA. And it's not gone well. Like in it, with this audience, what we want is peace. Like with this audience, we don't want stupid, like the reason why we hate these wars in the Middle East, in Gaza, in Ukraine is that it has the, this, these are the sparks that turn into raging fires that pull us in. It's not just our treasure and our treasury, which is hundreds of billions of dollars, but it's also of course,

our greatest treasure, which is hundreds of billions of dollars, but it's also, of course, our greatest treasure, which is our people, get put in the dirt for other countries. And we're sick of it. It's an entire generation that's just sick of that. And even more so than that, you have an entire generation of veterans that are just completely disillusioned and broken. Yes. Right. And that's powerful, man. It's like, look, if you want to, and really, please understand this, and I know we're all on the same side's like look if you want to and really please understand this and i know we're all on the same side here but if if you want to help veterans don't fight wars we shouldn't fight absolutely let them win the ones we do that's it yep yep word that's that's that's that's an entire generation walking through and then like having smart defense letting elon and

letting some of these kick-ass companies some of these ai companies build some really scary yes and uh letting it rip like the best of turns right it's like and that's and that's what we're doing right so we're working a systematic process now on the house armed services committee like we got the 150 billion a good spend now we got the 850 billion half of that is payroll so that's just off the top that's going to our soldiers now we've got the $850 billion. Half of that is payroll. So that's just off the top. That's going to our soldiers. Now we've got to focus our Army, our Navy, our Marine Corps, our Air Force on making sure that we're investing in assets that are actually relevant to deterring and defeating China. We've got to get rid of all these parochialisms that we have. And I've been calling and trying to educate all of my compadres up here in Congress that, look, just because it's in your district doesn't mean it's actually relevant to deterring or defeating China.

And we've got to be very clear-minded about this because we owe the American soldier, sailor, airman, and marine the very best technology because that's what China is providing to their troops. And if we want to not fight this war, we really want to win it. We've got to be able to deter it. And if we fail to deter it, we're going to fight it. And the good news is, is that the same pathway by which we deter it is actually the same pathway by which we win it. So we're moving in the right direction right now. And I'm very pleased about that. Final dorky question. Do we need aircraft carriers anymore? So the answer is- It's like a big raging debate on the internet right now. Like do we actually, the aircraft carrier is the most powerful weapon for the last 50 years. Do we need them anymore?

There is a lot of wisdom in understanding that they are a great source of pride and they have been a great source of security for us as a nation, as a populace that looks at our aircraft carriers and our sailors standing and saluting as they're coming in through the bay or going out to sea, that that is our ability to project force around the world. That is our ability to secure the United States of America from threats abroad. It has been one of our most incredible assets. But as we've learned from the Ukrainian conflict, where the Ukrainian military without a navy has sunk half of Russia's Black Sea naval fleet without a single ship of their own, you have to understand that in current circumstances with

the proliferation of relatively inexpensive yet very capable technologies that some of these great incredibly expensive and exquisite assets that we have are in some ways becoming actual strategic liabilities and so the answer is yes we still need. I don't know how many more we need to produce. And the reality is, is there's tactics and techniques and procedures of how we can use them and keep them safe and still use them to project force in the next conflict. but how relevant those are 20 or 30 years from now, which is the service life of a carrier now even pushing out to 40, I think is an honest question that we have to really analyze here before investing too much more in them. Really cool. Really cool. Yeah. I mean, it's like, everyone's like, China can make a lot of aircraft carriers. I was like, well, yeah, but like they could be smoked like very quickly from under the water, from

above the water. Yes. From the top of the water. And look, we have to have a seafaring capability. There's no question about that. But when we try to overcome the tonnage deficit that everybody knows about that exists with China, even amongst the sum of all of our ally base, there's a still significant tonnage gap. There is some wisdom in saying, well, we might be better off investing in technologies that deny their use of their capabilities as opposed to continuing to invest in trying to catch up with our capability gap.

Just figure out ways to eliminate the threat. We're looking very carefully. We're just talking about aircraft carriers. That's all. What's up? We've got Byron Donalds. How are you? That's really great to meet you. Thanks. This is awesome, by the way. What's up, you guys? We We got Byron Donalds rolled.

Yo, yo, yo. We love Timmy B. Timmy B, America. This is the guy. We love him. That's it. Congratulations, man. I know you're fighting hard for this bill. You're going on TV, you're letting her rip, you're throwing some elbows. Not too many.

Yeah. You don't wanna hurt people. Yeah. You don't wanna hurt people. Yeah, that's right. It's a professional environment. I know, you hurt Kevin McCarthy that one time. No. You said Kevin McCarthy, man, you're not gonna move me. It's a professional environment. You hurt Kevin McCarthy that one time. He said,

Kevin McCarthy, man, you're not going to move me. I'm a lineman. You're not going to move me. You're not really going to move me. Look, I just think that when you're doing this type of legislating where it's high stakes, everything's going into a package, there's pieces that are flying all over

the place. You just want to make sure that people are at least getting a good chunk of what they're looking for. And you try to, to get it done. It's a massive victory. Yeah. There's a big victory. People should be happy with this.

There's no such thing as a perfect bill. People should be happy about this. Name the top three, top line, three big, happy. Victories. Permanency in Donald Trump's tax policy, which even the Democrats,

as much as they campaigned against and as much as they talked crap about saying it was tax cuts for the rich, when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House and the auto pen was running the executive branch, they didn't get rid of it. They kept that tax policy. And so they could say whatever they want, but they kept it in place because it's the best tax policy the country's ever had. We've now made that permanent. No tax on ticks, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. That stuff's all in here. You can tax ticks as much as you want. Listen, man, it's been an interesting 36 hours. So bear with me. You've been awake for 36 hours? I've been awake for 36 hours. Bear with me. So, you know, we do that. A lot of coffee?

Do you do coffee? Actually, I had a half. No. I had a half a Celsius. Okay. And I did have some tequila around 3 a.m. America, look, I keep it straight. This is what we do.

This is what we do. But no, we secure. That was a rap horn. That's a rap horn, Klein. Okay. There we do. This is what we do. But no, we secure. That was a rap horn. That's a rap horn, Klein. Okay. There we go. Thank you. We actually build border wall.

That's great stuff. We get the money to Tom Holman. The most money for the board ever. Yes. We get money to Tom and Christy to actually begin the largest repatriation force in American history. Modernizing DOD, energy stuff. I mean, there's a lot of great things in this package. The stuff we did around Medicaid is a start. And I think that that's where some of the last minute negotiations were around

was how do we make sure that the non-expansion states like Tennessee, like Texas, Wisconsin, Florida, don't get forced down this inertia to expand. There was some good work done on that in the 11th hour of this bill. So nothing's perfect, but in terms of all the things I got through, it's far better than anything the Democrats ever did in this town. Not even close. Okay, so this is codifying President Trump's agenda. Big victories.

Talk to me about this. I know it's getting into the weeds a little bit and some people gloss over, but as the next governor of Florida, what does this SALT expansion mean? What does it mean from a state level? really raid tax revenues for left-wing causes and could really, this could, this could really be major bailouts for California, New York, and other states like that. How does that work from a, from a state level? What it means is, is that if your state has a heavy tax burden, you essentially get to write that off on your federal taxes. So the federal government does subsidize the payment of high level state taxes and local taxes. So Chicago, Illinois, New York City, Los Angeles, they benefit tremendously out of this because their city taxes, their state taxes essentially come off the number that people owe

in their federal income taxes. So that's the downside of it. I think if you're dealing with other states where I think depending on the reading, if you have property tax, higher property taxes, i.e. some parts of Florida, there might be an ability to use the SALT deduction for that. But we'll see how we'll see how that fully gets vetted out once the bill actually gets signed into law and what they do over at IRS when they write all the regulations around it. But yes, it is largely a bailout for blue states, something that I did not want. The blue states need to fix their problems, not come here and look for subsidies. How does that get in there? What's the battle there? And then can you talk about Trump stepping in? This doesn't happen without Trump.

Look, I mean, how it happens is you have about, you know, we have 220 votes in the congress so you have enough members out of new york and california who said this is going to be my hill to die on and they basically stood their ground and the leadership had to give them a deal and that's basically what happened at the end of the day all deals are cut when you have leverage and you needed their votes to get everything else done and so you had to come in and do business with them. What's next? Is it Doge cuts? What's next?

Codifying executive orders? What's going on? The Doge stuff, the rescission package, in my view, that's got to hit the floor. We have to see that package. Let the Senate get the big, beautiful bill to the president's desk. The rescission package needs to be the next thing. After that, we do need to look at, we're going to have to do some farm bill stuff. Appropriations is coming. And I think we're going to have to start taking

a look at FISA again. That comes up again next year. So that stuff's going to start coming into play. But yeah, monumental lift. A lot of people had their hands in this. I know victory laps are being taken this morning, but I can't tell you, man, whether it's, you know, Main Street, Freedom Caucus. Debt doesn't just show up one day, guys. It builds little by little.

So, so hands laying on hands, LaMonica MacGyver, she ever like give you a four inch shiver. She ever pushed you around in the halls. LaMonica MacGyver, she ever violent towards you. She ever give you a four-inch shiver? She ever push you around in the halls? No. LaMonica McIver, she ever violent towards you? No. She ever shoved you or anything?

Push you in an elevator? No, no, no, no, no. Shoved you in a locker? No. We've seen it on tape. We've seen it. It's possible. Come on, Benny. They're not doing that.

That's not happening here. What's going to happen with that? A lot of people focused on that saying, wow, how is she allowed to hit a police officer? I think what the attorney general, what they're going to do with this thing has to run its course. We'll see what happens there. I know Alina Haba, when she decides that she's fired up, she's not going to let it go. And so we'll see where it ends up. But I think that whole process has to finish before you have any further conversations about what happens here on the Hill.

Really quickly, Florida governor, that race is looking solid. How's it going? I feel great. You know, we're raising money, picking up steam around the state, meeting people everywhere. Actually, yesterday at the White House, while there was a negotiation on the final elements of the bill. You know, as a Florida State Seminole, I was there to congratulate the Florida Gators within the, you know, I'm growing, Benny. I'm growing. I'm becoming more magnanimous in my older years. But I will tell you, the president announced to me there was a roar. They were excited. You're going to do some rallies with him? You're going to come down from the general? that announced to me there was a roar. They were excited.

You going to do some rallies with them? You going to come down from the general? Oh, yeah. Yeah. But the big thing I'm looking forward to is college football season in Florida. I got some stops to make. All right. College game day, baby.

Political style. Okay. Young people moving to Florida, man, is a lot of energy, a lot of really good energy. How do you keep that up? Like, we were going through on the swatting bill, and they were man, is a lot of energy, a lot of really good energy. How do you keep that up? Like I, like I was, we were going through, we were going through on the swatting bill. And they were like, wait a second. It's like every single broadcasters in the movement is out of Florida.

You got so much energy. You got so much like the nanicism in the state. And you don't want to lose that to Texas and God help us. If we lose that to California, it's really bad. I still want you and Gavin Newsom to just let it go in the UFC octagon. First of all, Gavin, let's be honest. Gavin, he ain't got enough bricks in his pocket.

He ain't got enough bricks in his pocket. He liked in the end. It does not work. Gavin, I'm just telling you, baby. I'm going to keep pushing this until I get my UFC octagon. Gavin versus... You know what's heading there. Gavin versus By'm just telling you, baby. I'm going to keep pushing this until I get my UFC off the ground. It don't work. It don't work. Gavin versus – you know what's heading there. No. Gavin versus Byron, why the UFC?

I think he might be, you know, a middleweight. Okay. I ain't a middleweight. Yeah, that's right. But – It would probably be Conwell, a governor of California, man, by the time you're in. Come on. That's – we don't – I mean, the state's still going to be bad.

You know, it doesn't matter if, you know, you're at the French Laundry or you tell a sentence that doesn't go anywhere. I mean, it doesn't matter. The state's still going to be bad. Okay, final talking smack to Gavin. He's bragging that California's got $4 trillion in GDP. Now Florida, I just checked, got like $2.1

trillion. How do you, how do we take over California? Under your governorship. First of all, I mean, checked, got like 2.1 trillion. Yeah. How do we take over California under your governorship? First of all, I mean, Gavin's got like half the country's populations in California. So their GDP should be higher than it is right now. That's because their regulatory environment is terrible. You don't look at it that way. I think you look at it per capita. Per capita, man, Florida's number one.

We're not even looking at California right now. They're not even in the rear view. That man Andy Ogles over there sitting from Tennessee. Tennessee and Texas is in the rear view. California, man, we can't even see them. We can't see them. They can't see us. And the reason why they can't see us is because they got lapped a while ago. So you can talk about having the largest GDP, but you got the most people in the country. I mean, duh. That's just, you know, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Hey, guess what? You know, we bought the most food. Well, you got like 30 kids. Of course he bought the most food. That

doesn't mean anything per capita, baby. Florida is killing it. We are the number one state in the country. Sorry, Gavin. By the way, you did a terrible job so it's over. It don't matter. Final question. What is governor of Florida? That would be President Trump, last two years of President Trump's second term, right? Yes. If you're sworn in as governor of Florida, how does that relationship work? Now he came way out of the gate to endorse you. How does that relationship work then as a governor working with President Trump? I think for the state, it's really making sure that some of the key, whether it's trade, economic policy,

and I will add this in, structural reforms to federal spending. I think from the mantle of Florida, we can help the president and his team basically be the blueprint for how we need to adjust federal spending into the future. There are a lot of conversations around this reconciliation bill that did not get into this reconciliation bill, but they need to occur. And I think that President Trump can really leave the White House being the most transformative president this country ever seen if we really start to tackle long-term spending problems in the country. And so I think that that relationship, you know, potentially being a governor, talking about how you can read, how you can rework some of these programs and how Florida can still deliver and help people being the third largest state in the country. That gives you a model to then say, America, here's what we we're going to do and the reason why we know we can deliver is because

florida's doing it boom boom that's state in the damn country man and we're gonna gather up can't see me baby good we're getting better at that we We're inserting rap horns and cheers. Everybody, shout out to Byron Donalds. Chat, melt it down for Byron. You all know where to find Byron Donalds. Get in there. Follow.

Let's see. Look at 1.1. In the Millie Club. We went to 1.1? 1.1. I missed that. Look at him go. I missed that. Byron cooking, man.

We're going to save this great. We're going to save this great. Timmy B. Love you, baby. I missed that. Byron cooking, man. We're going to save this great land. Timmy B, love you, baby. Timmy B is the best. Love you. All these shout outs to Timmy B. All right. Thank you, Byron.

We've got the great Andy Ogles from the state of Tennessee in the house. Andy, what's up, man? How you doing? Fatigue? What's going on, bro? How you doing? How you doing? Fatigue? What's going on, bro? How you doing? Hey, Byron. Thanks, guys.

No marathon last night. You're an accomplishment. Great. How are you? How's the family? You were a real skullcracker on this. You were out front. You were out front.

Somebody, you know, you've got to have a few folks that are willing to step forward and take the arrows to force the conversations. And I typically am one of those that draws that short straw. And so, and I'm willing to do it. And part of that is, you know, have a good relationship with the president and all the conversations are constructive, but you know, like Byron was saying is we have, we have a lot of wins in this bill, but a lot of those wins were because people stood firm and said, Hey, we can make it better. Like, like push the tolerance level. Uh, now it also means that we were voting at like one 30 in the morning, five o'clock in the morning, and we've all had way too much caffeine and no sleep, but Hey, you've been out for 48 hours. Uh, I did get a nap. Uh, so, and lots of

eye drops, like a Joe Biden style. No, there were no drugs involved. Put me in a coma. Just let the auto pen cook for a while. Well, I mean, that's all conversation. I mean, you could do a whole just show on the consequences of was he actually president? What executive orders were illegal, if not treasonous? Are his pardons legal? It's one thing for me to give my staff permission to sign my signature,

but if I'm unaware that they're using it and it's not just a kind of a technical formality, those pardons may be invalid. And so there's a, there's a whole lot there to take to unpack and could be quite frankly criminal. Man, I lived in, I lived in DC for so long and this pardon operation is big. I know people have spent millions of dollars from jail, very corrupt people have spent millions of dollars in lobbying for pardons, trying to get themselves out of jail.

It's like the easiest get out, you're a real scumbag, it's the easiest get out of jail free trick if you got a rich buddy. What do you think is the chances that people were getting paid for pardons here? Because 8,000 pardons is insane, Congressman. Well, I mean, and you know, there's a whistleblower came forward saying that the pardons were being, you know, signed when he would typically be asleep.

So, you know, it wasn't him. And although I don't have proof in front of me, I'm fairly certain that they were selling pardons out of the White House. And that would be staff, the machine, the library, whatever mechanism they were using. But I would be utterly shocked if that wasn't taking place. Congressman, could you scoot over just a little bit so that everyone can see? Yeah, they want to see the congressman's face right there. We don't want it to be blocked with a mic.

There you go. Perfect. Sorry. Well, I'm like, geez, this is going to to be on fox news we got to get these clips up for fox what's happening next a lot so a lot of people are like this is fine right this is good it's fine and i know you're i know you're one of them but we can we can what we can get executive orders we can get doge cuts we can get more out of this. So that was the conversation that we have. It's like, it's like moves the wheels forward, right? So that was the machine working. That was the request of the president is like, give me this first step and trust me, like we're with you.

I'm with you, the president. And so, uh, yes, we, we made the tax cuts permanent, which is huge. Secure the border, make, making that permanent. You're now going to see reverse my, uh, deportation and migration. And of course, deportations funded. Yeah, right. I think that's exhortations are funded in this. And there's a lot going on in Nashville with ICE and deportations as well. The bigs, the blue cities. But and then, you know, probably not as significant to the entire country. But for those of us that have guns, love the Second Amendment, there's the

suppressor. The language for owning a suppressor was changed. It's easier to get, you don't have to pay the $200 fee. The government doesn't take your gun for a year and all the other nonsense that was going on with that. So there's some victories in there. But I think with Medicaid, and what Byron was saying is, I think with especially with him as governor, governors can play a huge role in that dynamic in that relationship. But wait a second. We don't need your help. Let's set up a mechanism where a state like Florida, like Tennessee, can be rewarded for spending the money wisely so that, you know, if we're being block granted, whether it's Medicaid or education or road dollars, and we're using it more judiciously and we have money left over at the end, then we can reinvest that into that same health care or roads or whatever. And again, we're getting better bang for the buck. Now, California will piss away, but that's on them, not us.

So Tennessee, you get an ICE deportation. You get a deportation to Tennessee. There's a little bit of news about that. Can you give us an update on that? So I'm sorry, Nashville, Blue City, your district, right? So it's like a little bit of friction, right? You got the communist left-wing mayor there in Nashville. And so where's the friction?

Where's it going? Where's it headed? All right, so you have some ICE deportations. So Freddie O'Connell came out and basically, you know, told his police to report any communications with federal law enforcement. They have a community oversight board of the police department. He was encouraging citizens to file complaints against law enforcement if they assisted in deportations and then you have a state rep who was literally like did an Instagram or video or whatever for 15 minutes where she was following and blocking ice vehicles and so we turned that over to the DOJ um I questioned Secretary

gnome in the Homeland Security Committee we talked this very instance, and then I called for an investigation of the city Nashville, a joint investigation from the Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees. And so we have a letter to that effect coming out shortly. And so, yeah, I mean, and so it'll be, we're going to put, you know, the mayor of Nashville, but all blue city mayors that if you screw around with federal law enforcement, we're going to come into your community and we're going to hold an investigation. I think it's something that maybe all of us could agree upon. Could we deport the Hawk to a girl? I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole. I mean, that happened on the streets of Nashville. It would technically be your jurisdiction, right? You know, actually Nashville's divided. So I'm going to give that one to Mark.

Congressman Green. They're trying to block the deportation of the hot to a girl. No, I'm gonna. Don't know. We're not sure. Look, if you're El Salvadorian, you know, Trinidad, I got problems with you. Hot to a girl. That is not my lane. Alright. Yeah. Hot to a girl. There's, you know, there's free margaritas in El Salvador. Yeah. Alright. And I was just there. Uh. That's right. That's right. You were in the prisons. So, we went down, you know.'s margaritas free margaritas in el salvador yeah right and i was just there uh that's right that's right you were in the prisons so we went down you know with apl right that's

right yeah and so um i wanted to see it for myself like all you know the mayor of nashville is losing his freaking communist mind uh so i wanted to go down there and see it see the facility see how they were being treated i went and met with the president of El Salvador. It was an amazing trip. And the backdrop, which you have to understand. He's like a real, he's a real, he's a real gangster. Yeah. I don't know. Gangster in the.

Yeah. Like the classic American cowboy, like, like clean it up. Yeah. El Salvador's have 40. He's a real deal. 40 years of violence. That's right. I mean, civil war, dictators, gang violence, murders.

You can't even go out on the street. But now you have, they claim they haven't had a murder in three years. Kids are able to go to school. A murder in the whole country? That's right. But if you're a member of a gang in El Salvador, just a member. It's a minimum 20-year

prison sentence. If you have any rank in the gang, adds like another 10 years and then whatever crime you committed so like if you're a member of a gang and you committed a crime you're going away for I mean petty theft 30 years zero tolerance policy but that's what it takes to clean up

a country that's been wrought with violence for 40 years and he wants to transform his country into a destination for investment and tourism and quite frankly it's a country into a destination for investment and tourism. And quite frankly, it's a model for the rest of Central and South America that's overrun with gangs. Did you have any margaritas there? You don't have to break huge news on the stream, but they serve you any salty margarita.

Did you get the cherry? I did not get a margarita. I did have the local beer. Okay. I mean, you know, you're there. Try the beer. I'd love to go. I've never been.

I've never even been to South America. Well, I think we plan on going again. Cool. And we'll make sure you're in the stream. We'll do a stream with Naeem Dukele. And I'll say it was a little intimidating. So when you go into this, it's almost like a warehouse. And you got to understand.

The prison. The prison. Yeah. And there's different warehouses. And they're grouped by their Venezuelenezuelans these are el salvadorians uh but when they go in they never come out like so they're treated their entire life is now within this facility that is self-contained they're medical they're they're legal everything uh but as we're in there uh and we're touring this facility, there's still, it's an operating prison.

Like they're bringing, and each cell has, they're massive, 75 to 100 gang members in it. And there's, I don't know, maybe a dozen personnel with us in this central corridor. And you're like, man, if they had the wherewithal to just rush us, it would be a crazy three or four minutes. Now they would flood the zone with, with you know, personnel and weapons. I've seen those guys. Yeah. But that being said,

it was like, Oh crap, they're going to open that door. Oh, they just opened that door. Oh wow. There's a hundred MS-13. And we interviewed one of the guys who had been deported from the United

States, had spent time between Virginia and New Hampshire. And the question was asked, why were you deported? Or why are you here in prison? He said, homicide. The next logical question is how many did you kill?

He said, 50. I saw that on your feed. That's wild. I mean, but it just as plain as 50 murders, no, no feeling,

no emotion, no, no empathy, no sorrow, just 50. Dude. Yeah. And that's who we're deporting.

That's who we're sending to el salvador we could lock him up with dr fauci right because if you can kill people so easily yeah right well if you got that kind of a mentality just put birds of the feather right well what i'll tell you about the prison the way it operates you know how can they have 75 people in the cell if more so if you and i are in the cell and we're talking one, we have to talk quietly. But if a third person comes over to interact with us, they shut it down. Like there's no congregating in the cells. You sit, you're quiet, you're still, anybody is remotely agitated. They come in like it is zero tolerance. And when you come out of your cell, you have two options. You can sit on the floor and read the Bible, or or you can another group stands in front and they can do like stretching and jumping jacks and

things like that that's your only two options there's no pissing around in the courtyard it's read the bible or do calisthenics insane i love it at a deterrence right it's a great deterrence from the president oh but these are some of the most violent men in the world. Yes, you can't, you can't give them an inch. Right. And it's, it's a one margarita. Right? To that guy got cooked. Yes. You see Van Hollen got rubio yesterday. Yeah, rubio just smell. We were working on this thing. Bill, right? Okay, okay. So close this out here. How's it? So give the chat is happy

about this happening. Yeah. What can we expect over the next couple of years into the midterms? Obviously, we want a massive Republican majority. We want a red wave in the midterms. First question, what's your prediction on that? How do Republicans get there? How do Republicans not screw ourselves like we do every single time and like lose the ball game, right?

On the midterms. How do we get more wins from the president's desk codified in Congress? So I wrote a letter. So I think it's all about results, right? And that was why the president weighed in on this big, beautiful bill because he wanted it to pass because he needed the runway to get the tax cuts into law, signal to the markets and to businesses and to foreign investment that we've done it, the water's warm, come on in.

You can get it done. That's right. I mean, it's a huge message that you can just get something done. That's right. Yeah, that's right. But then I wrote a letter to the speaker that it's time that we start codifying Trump's executive orders,

because an executive order can be undone. And so by putting it into law, again, we're signaling to the markets, to businesses, et cetera, that it's permanent. You know, it's going to be harder to undo. But to answer your question specifically, it's going to come down to the economy. The border is going to be secure.

Like this is the biggest funding bill, lots of deportations. This is going to get back to the economy. And so again, by codifying the executive orders by making sure that we have a pro-growth pro-business like we're barreling towards 40 trillion dollars in debt like so i'm on financial services which is banking it's the nerd committee so it's banking in the economy and i'm i'm on homeland uh but that being said is like we have to have so we can't cut our way out of this. You cut everywhere you can, but we have so much debt and such ballooning debt that we

have to grow this economy at a rate that is unprecedented. And you're going to have to have a president and a leadership from President Trump. Then also when Byron becomes governor, again, how does, how do the states work together to, because, you know, Florida is an economic engine of the country, Tennessee and Texas are economic engines for the country. So there's going to be a partnership as we go forward to the midterms. If we deliver on the economy and the border, we win, we pick up seats. It's it'll always be tight because of all the jury gerrymandering.

That being said, I think we can pick up seats. We can defy history and have, you know, an extra three, four or five members. Yeah. Great. And he's a criminal alien that being counted in the census. Well, which is something that we should address, right? Give Pelosi 20 extra seats. That's what I'm saying. Well, that, well, so that's why you had that illegal operation of backfilling California and New York and Illinois with illegals is which states were having the largest population flight, right? California, they're coming to Tennessee, they're going to Florida and the census.

Tennessee gained a couple seats, right? No, no. The next census. The next census, we should gain one, right? One, okay. Florida's got four. Texas got five. North Carolina should pick up a seat. Ohio. But if you're not counting the illegals, California is going to lose. 10, 20.

Yeah, exactly. New York loses seats. And suddenly, Tennessee, Ohio, Florida, Texas, we all gain several seats. That forever changes the house of representatives. Yeah. And that's a, that is permanent. Why did Joe Biden, he w he w he had, he was unaware. Why did the Biden administration flood this country with 10, 12, 15 million people? It was all about the house of representatives. It was all about the census and making sure that they didn't lose their shot at control. It was about power. Man. Well, it's glad to see it

reverse. I guess it's a painful process, but it's glad to see it reversed. I guess it's a painful process. It'll be painful. But it's good to see it reversed. Yeah. I mean, it's not gonna be pretty and you know, they're gonna start dragging moms and crying babies and as we're deporting people, but you came here legally, right? You knew that there was a risk. So if you and I go sneak into France, we can go have a good time. But at some point, if they catch us, they're going to send us home. They go to the UAE. They're going to send us home. Mexico's immigration laws are tougher than ours. I mean, like Mexico, really?

They can't do anything right. So we can do this. It might be a little bit messy, but we don't have a choice. We can sneak into France, Congressman. They'd surrender to us. We just stand on the board. We can sneak into France, Congressman. They'd surrender to us. We just stand on the board. Conquer France. We got a card right here. We can just piece it together from Burch's office. That's right. We can conquer France right now. We'll bring Tim with us.

We got a baseball bat. We got a whole wall of Louisville sluggers here. He'll start telling jokes. Louisville sluggers. And we can conquer. They'd surrender immediately. Something tells me I'm going i get banned from france there's a few countries that uh because i've been critical of their governments uh i'd be like macron you get out of here you take your wife with you you creep you take her with you okay you creepy little man you get the hell out of here right that's right we'll send them to el

salvador it's easy okay all right uh well. Well, thank you. And I really, I really appreciate your answers on Hawk Tua. I think that's a really smart, I think it's a really smart stance that you had there. Not my stance. Okay. You're up to me. She'd be doing margaritas in El Salvador, but I lost my life savings on the Hawk Tua coin. So that's something that's personal. Well, I would tell the American people is, look, the bill wasn't perfect. We got a lot of great things done, but there's a lot of work to do. And you have my, you know, individuals like myself that were always hard charging. Byron Donald's hard charging. The Freedom Caucus hard charging.

We all have great relationships with the president. Stay tuned. There's much more to come. Fantastic. Fantastic. All right. All right. Bless your family. The best is more to come. Fantastic. Fantastic. All right. All right. Bless your family. The best is yet to come, as they say. All right. Thank you, Congressman. Absolutely. Very based. Very based. Amazing. All right. What up, chat?

Thank you, Congressman. Cool. Back in the merchant chair. Man. All right. Ladies and gentlemen, what do we do on this show? We are always going to be honest with you. We're always going to like let it rip. We're going to do our very best to bring you. We had no as of one hour ago, we had no idea that we'd have any congressman or be doing any of this. So we just like let it rip. Sometimes it's a little messy, right? Sometimes it's like, well, I don't have the script in front of me and so on. But we make it work, ladies and gentlemen, and we are here to bring you along with the process, right? So here we go. Donald Trump nuked a reporter yesterday. I just got to get to this. There's a lot going on in the world. And we actually do have to get on the horse to the white house because we're due at the white house here in like one hour so um donald trump nuked a reporter yesterday from inside of the white house is a thing of beauty dude this is a real scumbag named peter alexander who in the face of demonstrable evidence of white genocide in South Africa,

decided to be like, but you got a plane from Qatar. And Donald Trump, well, we could talk a lot about deporting Haqqatua. Donald Trump straight up deported this reporter in the White House. Let's freaking go. You know, for you to get out of here. What does this have to do with the Qatar jet? They're giving the United States Air Force a jet. OK, and it's a great thing.

We're talking about a lot of other things. It's NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw. You are a real you know, you're a terrible reporter. Number one, you don't have what it takes to be a reporter. You're not smart enough. But for you to go on to a subject about a jet that was given to the United States Air Force, which is a very nice thing. They also gave five point one trillion dollars worth of investment in addition to the jet. Go back. You ought to go back to your studio at NBC because Brian Roberts and the people that run that place, they ought to be investigated.

They are so terrible the way you run that network. And you're a disgrace. No more questions from you. Go ahead. Go ahead. Talk about that. His name is Peter. Something is a terrible report.

Quiet. Quiet. Let's a terrible report. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Let's go. Alpha. We had our we had our whole Trump block set up. Let me just let me I'll just talk you through it. So at 9 a.m. this morning, they passed the bill at 8 at 9 a.m. this morning. I call Alex. I'm like, 9 a.m. this morning, I call ALX. I'm like, I'm in D.C. Let's just go to a congressman's office. ALX is like, sure. What about Burchett? He's based. And I was like, yeah, great. We text Burchett. He's like, come on down. And then we come on here. Little did I know we'd have four other members of Congress see the stream live,

see you, see the chat rolling and be like,'s let's let her rip hold on Benny's in Burchett's office let's go and so we had no idea so anyway we've so we'd like we just thank you we just nothing but heart we even have a hearts from Burchett Burchett did the hearts out to the chat uh we're just gonna let her rip sorry for the unstructured show, right? We wanted to do a whole block on Trump yesterday, BTFOing the South African president. We have one more excellent clip where Donald Trump, who is standing there in the face of an entire group of mongoloid journalists like Peter Alexander there

from NBC, they don't want to acknowledge what's happening in South Africa because they want it to happen here. It's their dream. Their dream would be to create secretarian and racialized violence in order to have permanent power. This is what they're doing. This is the model in South Africa. It's why what's happening with immigration and open borders is happening. It's their goal for the country. They want to destroy this place as they've destroyed South Africa. Do you know that in South Africa there are more? But Benny, apartheid was bad. Listen, I believe that racist laws are bad. I believe that. Okay? Put them up to God. Judge them that way. I believe that's bad. Do you know that there are more, there are close to double the number of race-related laws on the books in South Africa today than at the height of apartheid now obviously the evidence of the attack on what's what's called the white farmers in south

africa elon musk's family is very prescient in this white house it's the first president ever with the stones just straight up call it out it's a total evil yeah i mean this is what the left would call this is what the left would call uh social justice this is what the left would call social justice. This is what the left would call ending of systemic racism, which is what you have in South Africa. Restorative justice. This is what's happening, but it's happening in reverse. You see, to have to admit this would have to be to admit that the whites are a victim class in South Africa. And they wouldn't be able to do that. That's incomprehensible to the left,

right? It destroys their new religion, even though it is, of course, ethically and morally right. So, of course, what I am in favor of is all men are created equal, which is, of course, the laws of this country. But that's not the laws of South Africa. And Donald Trump roasting the South African president to his face with news articles. So we played you the clip of him saying, turn the lights off here in the Oval Office. We just got to get to this one because we're going to go to the White House right now. Maybe it's still, the seat is still smoldering, right? Here's Donald Trump showing the actual evidence to the South African president in real time. Go. What would you like President Ramaphosa to do about the

situation that we've just seen on the screen? I don't know. Look, these are articles over the last few days. Death of people. Death. Death. Death. Horrible death. Death. I don't know. White South Africans

are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws. And this is all... I'll'll give these to you so when you when you say what would i like to do i don't know what to do look at this white south african couples say that they were attacked violently and then you go and see for yourself if it is well i could do that look here's burial sites all over the place they're all these are all white farmers that are being buried. And he asks about a jet that was given.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You know, you are so bad. You're such a bad reporter. Mr. President, just a two-part question. Mr. President, two questions. Mr. President, I'm sorry. May I have a few things, President Trump? President Trump.

Mr. President Trump. This is one after another. This family was wiped out. I'm just looking. Can we get a reaction to those videos? Well, I think it's I think the videos are so. No, no. When you look at the videos, I mean, how does it get worse?

And these are people that are officials. And they're saying that kill the white farmer and take their land. That's what I have other friends in South Africa, people that left, one in particular that says it's you can't go there. He said they want to take your land, they take your land and they kill you. It's okay and they say it's okay to do. Now we're going to talk about it but this is a tremendous look this is story recent now these are all people that recently got killed yeah and i don't know how it can get any worse and you know the man that you saw the men that you saw the people that you saw on that well those are officials those are people that were in office. They had one march. They had a dance in your

parliament, whatever you may call it, legislature. And it was terrible. What do you what? Like, yes. I'm sorry. Are you asking if this is what I voted for? Yes. The answer is yes. Can I can I just cut you to that? Like, yeah, yes. Donald Trump calling out white genocide. Donald Trump calling out systemic racism, Donald Trump using the awesome power of the presidency in order to write and set the tables when evil is going on on Earth, whether that is what's happening with wars in the Middle East, in Israel, in Ukraine. We are against this. We are against these style of policies. There's a way to do it with American might. There's a way to end wars with American might. We talked about it on this program. It just want to thank you. I know it's gets, I know I probably talk too much about this kind of stuff, but the, it's such an honor to be able to just

call up a member of Congress and say, yo, we have this massive audience. We'd love to bring them into your office. And they're like, let's let her rip. And then now I got like four other members of Congress texting me being like, yo, can I come on? Can I come on? Come on. They hear that we're live in, in, in the Capitol. Would you like us to do more of this? Do you want us to do more of this? We're like, just bring the show like into the Senate, into the members of Congress's office. Cause we're committed to it. We're devoted to it. We're committed to you. And we're very thankful for you. There was this moment, um, okay, I'll admit something very personal. I freaking love Christmas. I love Christmas a lot. I'm not like a Christmasophile, right? I don't celebrate

Christmas all year long or anything like that, keep my tree up. But I have these little, I have little kids and these little kids and Christmas is magical to them. And I wanted to create something last year for Christmas for the audience to remember the exciting 2024 that we went through together doing stuff like this. And so we created a Christmas ornament as the official ornament. We're actually working on an official ornament right now for next Christmas. So maybe we do think about Christmas all year long. Anyway, the point is that we had no idea how to sell a Christmas ornament. Thanks to our incredible manufacturing team inside the internal manufacturing team and to our friends at Shopify, we were able to actually get the Christmas ornament up and out. It was only $5.

We charged so little for it because our friends at Shopify were helping us deliver these Christmas ornaments. And we were able to get, well, hundreds of thousands of Christmas ornaments up and out.

We have one final special guest who is here to rock with us, and it is the great Nick Sotor, who is here and on Capitol Hill and causing lots of problems. Yes, as usual. I mean, that's interesting. He's got a Trump 2028 hat on. Yeah, it just came in the mail. I kind of forgot it. I saw it on the website. I think you posted it or something.

They were selling the Trump 2028 hats now, and I went on and I bought three. So I got them on the shelf in my back. I got my girlfriend one. She wears it around too. Except for, you know, people around here, if you wear this around here, they're vicious. People are mean. But it's gotten a lot better.

There are a lot more MAGA hats around D.C. now, and I love it. It makes me happy. The coolest thing ever was, I don't know if you were at this. You go to a lot of MAGA rallies. Were you at the one in Madison Square Garden? Yes. Okay. Watching all of Manhattan Island be taken over by MAGA hat

was one of the coolest, most untold. There's a lot of story. Oh, they made a joke about Puerto Rico and Donald Trump and everything like Hulk Hogan. The real story was that all of Manhattan Island was MAGA. Oh my God. I mean, it created this. I mean,

you thought the pandemic in New York was bad. You'd see like these people that were having to triage themselves because of the TDS and seeing all the red hats everywhere. It was a sea of people. Madison Square Garden hold what? What? 40,000 people. Pretty much all of them wearing some. It was a sea of people. Madison Square Garden holds, what, 40,000 people? Pretty much all of them wearing some sort of Trump or MAGA hat. Oh, it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So according to mobile tracking, there was 30,000 inside of Madison Square Garden,

90,000 outside. And so imagine all of New York, MAGA hats. Yeah. People were losing it in the streets. Well, they actually had a parade, too, at that point down. Because Long Island has a huge, especially N nassau county has a massive trump population and they all came into manhattan for that day they're clogging up all the streets with big mega flags on the back of their cars i mean it that's when i knew at that point i said we got this we got in

the back baby so we got hakeem jeffries team uh uh squad we got Hakeem Jeffries. You were trolling Hakeem Jeffries yesterday. Let's do this as a full play. Show some of your work, and then you can unpack it for us. Sure, sure. The work that you're doing up here in Cabellito. Let's go Hakeem Jeffries. Hey, Hakeem, why are you lying about the cuts to Medicaid, saying that there are cuts to Medicaid when there clearly aren't?

Do you want illegals to have taxpayer-funded healthcare? Is that what you want? You want illegals? You want U.S. taxpayers to fund healthcare for illegals? Dude, this is such powerful work, man. Just having a single adversarial question asked of these people is so important because all they get nothing but bootlicking I don't want to name names but like from even uh concert like what would be considered right yeah the press corps of the right it's nothing but like how are you doing today how do you feel right like that's what you get yeah what comes your nail published today I see it's that's typically what they end up getting and so from right-wing journalists they still ask

questions like this right and and the way that the media is controlled here, it's like a cartel. It's very difficult to get a hard media pass here. And they do that intentionally because they don't want you asking these hard questions. So, you know, I just find them when they're outside or when they don't expect it, you know, because Hakeem this whole time talking about the big, beautiful bill, he was using talking points, right? These lies like Medicaid, we're going to call millions and millions of Americans are going to lose their health insurance. I mean, it was just total lie, total lie. And so I was like, okay, you know what, if you're not going to answer my emails, I'm just going to go and find you. And so I did. And he was not ready for that at all. He was also there with Pelosi. And but Pelosi, you know, they had after

the team was tipped off that I was there. They set up like barricades to keep her in and they had a perimeter of people surrounding Nancy as she hobbled back to the car so that I couldn't get anywhere close they had the capital police bring their bikes out and build a wall just so I couldn't ask Nancy Pelosi any questions if she hobbled in the vehicle so we had we had a series called walls across america and nancy closey has some of the best walls ever around her mansion she's amazing multiple mansions she has great walls right the envy of any donald trump property would be nancy's wall you know and so we're still looking at it like uh for years and years and years there's been no pushback as we've talked about multiple times there's been no pushback on the hill uh and and luckily the white house has pushed through this barrier of this washington legacy media cartel and we're trying to do the same thing here at the capitol um you

know and and so there's there's a lot more of that came from i just moved right down the street so i can just walk here now you never know what i'm going to show up. You got to, but you have, what's interesting is like the American public wants these questions asked. Right. You're asking what I would assume is at least the majority

or tens of millions of people. You have to assume there's a hundred million Trump supporters, right? 77 million Trump voters. They want your questions asked. That's a ton of people. The majority wants your questions asked, but they never get asked. Why? Well, because of the fact, you know, it doesn't look, you don't want to seem like you're too hostile with these people because then they won't give you special treatments. They won't invite you

to the parties anymore. You can't do, you know, go to the cool fundraising events. And I don't really care. Do I look like a fundraiser kind of guy? I mean, come on. And, and, you know, you know, and, and they, it's, it's, it's been like that forever. And, you know, I'm really struggling not to name names, but I want to at some point, but you know what, you're talking about asking them questions that the majority as in Trump people want asked, you know, you're talking about asking them questions that the majority, as in Trump people, want asked. You know, I also asked that question to him yesterday for the millions of people that are now under the impression that Donald Trump is going to rip their health care away. That is terrible to do to people, to lie to their faces and pretend like their entire, you know, like, you know, the elderly people thinking grandma and grandpa think that they're going to lose everything over this bill. How you can sit there and lie to these people's faces like that is unbelievable.

I mean, these people are evil. But, you know, it was important to me to get him on the spot and show everybody that he's a fool. He doesn't actually believe this stuff because he wasn't able to actually come back with the talking. He couldn't hit back. He could just regurgitate the same talking point with no substance and he exposed himself on that video yesterday amazing what's what's your um what's your dream get what would be your dream would it be like a sit-down interview with uh ilhan omar oh god maybe at the wedding chapel you go through her marriage certificates you know see the problem is these people it's really hard

to do a sit-down interview with them either because they don't have anything to say anyway. I mean, you saw Ilhan Omar earlier walking out. I don't know if you saw that video yet. Yeah, where she wouldn't even, like, acknowledge that there was an Israeli – there was a shooting in D.C. Right. It was an Israeli embassy worker, and he was shot by some left-wing lunatic, some, like – Some free Palestine guy. Yeah, some evil Marxist screaming free Palestine.

Trying to kill him. I don't know the status. They were in a hospital last time I heard the status. The people were shot? Yes. They are both dead. Both Israeli diplomats, which is – it creates a very, very scary environment for what could possibly come of that.

But she – we've been talking about this on the program. Okay, so we've been talking about this because James Comey is sitting there calling for assassinations. And that the left has resorted to their factory setting, which is kill everyone and take power, which is what they always do. You know, now you've got, I'm not going to say exactly. So there was probably watch what I say here. But there are some people that i worry about i see how they get around some patriots that most of us here would love i see

them get around and i look at these security vulnerabilities with them and i'm like it could be them next uh yeah these are big targets it scares the hell out of me bro christine just got a purse yeah purse snatched yeah you know if you're that if she had like that a bunch of money in the purse and her badge i want to know if he knew that it was christine but but the irony of that aside if you're getting that close women don't leave their purse he was getting within the bubble for christine no there's no doubt if you're snatching her purse then you're getting very close to christy no maybe she leaves her purse when she goes and talks to somebody but it's not far away you're that close you're able to steal from her man that's a huge security failure i actually was able to i go to a lot of restaurants

around here specifically just to see who goes there i scope them out and see you know that's because sometimes i use that to uh to you know get people uh but i was up at one of the restaurants near the White House, and Kristi Noem was sitting there at the table. This was the weekend before she got her purse stolen. I was able to walk right up to her and just shake her hand. We sat there and chatted for like two minutes. And so I worry for some of these officials. People don't realize that they are genuinely putting their lives on the line to do this.

That's right. That's a great point. And that takes balls, I guess. That's an awesome point. Yes, you're right. They are. They're genuinely putting their lives on the line to come into – this is beyond enemy territory. This is a city that is controlled by Marx.

You can feel it the moment you land. It's like the city is controlled – Behind enemy lines. Yes, by Marxists. Yeah. So, okay. you can feel the moment you land it's like the city is controlled behind enemy lines yes by marxists yeah so okay you know it's crazy when you talk about christine oh because she's in charge of the secret service she has the highest level of secret service protection right and they're i mean man you know we've traveled with her and i'm not trying to knock anyone i just i feel like they do need to i feel like they need to bulk up a little bit a little bit of that protection i i don't have

a lot of faith in the secret service and i don't know if I've ever told you this story. I've never actually shown the video, but I was able to at one point when I was in Hawaii with Joe Biden. I was able to like accidentally – I breached the perimeter, and I ended up like in the bathroom with Joe Biden. And I was like – at that point, I threw my hands up, and I surrendered. I was like, I am not supposed to be here. And so I walked out with the Secret Service. But we never, at the time, and I feel better talking about it now, but at the time it was like, okay, we're not going to do anything to you.

Just let's not talk about it right now. Let's agree to not talk about it right now. And so I think I need to probably publish that. I have the whole thing on video. But do those security, it's like there's too much security theater with even the Secret Service I'm really hoping Sean Curran, seems like a good dude I don't know if you've met him or not but

I'm hoping he can change that. That bro is willing to lay down his life for Trump, he's proven that for decades so I'm like, I have hopes right? That's crazy that's like my nightmare, my nightmare would be being trapped in a bathroom with Joe Biden a little nightmare the smell in there, I can't get that out of my head That's crazy. That's like my nightmare. My nightmare would be being trapped in a bathroom with Joe Biden. The smell in there. I can't get that out of my head. I'm creeped out. All right. So but but who's but who's OK.

So so final question, who's who would be your favorite get up here on on income? Like if they the elevator doors close. Oh, and I was stuck in an elevator with somebody. Yeah, what a Democrat member would it be? Oh, my god. I mean I've already done AOC. Let me take that back. I have not – I've talked to AOC. Yeah, yeah. Don't clip that, guys.

Crazy. And, you know, but she's an absolute wacko. And, you know, she actually falsely accused me of assault and stuff like that. Let's see. If I could get into an elevator with somebody, probably would be on the Senate side. I like when people will actually talk. There are a lot of these Democrats that just don't have anything to say. Jeffrey's talked to you.

Yeah, Jeffrey did. He was like, hey. Yeah. Which is good. I want to talk to Cory Booker because that dude, I don't know if he's high on coke or whatever he does. I don't know. He was sniffing a lot during that whole 16-hour bender that he did. That's weird.

I would love to be trapped. Because that dude will talk. He'll just go and go and go and go. I wonder if you could crash that in your Trump ad. You know, I... What? Oh, you're talking about his live stream that he was sitting on. Oh, dude.

I'd love to. They probably had security around him. But that live stream, I wonder if you the – Oh, you're talking about – Oh, it's a live stream that we sent out. Oh, dude, I'd love to. They probably had, like, security around him. But that live stream, I wonder if he could crash it on the steps. Oh, so I actually – I walked over there. That's what we were talking about, on the steps of the Capitol. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Him and Hakeem were there. Yeah, they actually – that was a controlled perimeter.

You couldn't just walk up to it. They astroturf all these things. These people didn't just, just like show up organically they blocked off the entire area and let specific groups in that they bust in i tried to get in i couldn't get in if i had a hard capital pass i could though so maybe one of these days maybe next time i bought a megaphone too so just for that situation right after that i went back and bought a megaphone a sign of things to come all right uh i am getting the hook from nurse k we are heading again as we've talked about we are heading the white house for a maha event and so we are uh ready we are freaking ready to cook here um thank you nick for your incredible work. Can we pop up Nick's social? Make sure that everybody is locked and loaded and ready to support Nick. There we go.

All right. Look at that. So close to a million. You're getting there. So close. Thanks, bro. Appreciate it, Benny. Let's do our verse of the day here, all right?

Verse of the day. Pop it up on screen, Clyde. I don't have the script in front of me. Here we go. From Joshua 1.9. Good Joshua verse. I have not, have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened. Do not be dismayed. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. It does absolutely feel like that, doesn't it? It does feel like God has, doesn't it feel like God has saved this country from absolute peril, especially like that we were teetering on the brink?

It really feels like it. It feels like we were on the brink of something horrible and going beyond the pale, as they say, right? Like lost forever. And that God stepped in and saved us. It does feel like it. It feels like that to me. I don't know about you, but I have a feeling if you're in this audience that, that, that you feel like that as well.

So we're just going to celebrate that. And we're going to say, uh, well, what does the verse say? Be strong and courageous. Let's do those things. Don't be frightened. Be worried about these things. Like go, you know, when, when go celebrate when something good happens and when something bad happens, double down and keep fighting.

And that's what we've done. Fight, fight, fight, as they say, right? Keep fighting. Don't be frightened. Be strong and courageous. We've seen a lot of that. A lot of that this year. Ladies and gentlemen, it's your boy Benny.

This wall was given to me. It's on loan, actually, from the Museum of Appalachia. Lamar Alexander had it in his office, and when he left the Senate, he wanted me to have it. It's cool stuff. My favorite, of course, is the fish gig. It's just stuff people made might have Appalachia out of just what they had and it's really cool stuff and they got the banjo with the stuff yeah that guy's almost old enough to run for president as a

Democrat yeah he's probably middle he's probably 42 back in though that's all over the district right there the damss. And Blount County Courthouse, I got an office up there. And then big Neyland Stadium. Y'all need to come down there sometime and we'll go to the game. It's a lot of fun. That's where I met my wife actually. 106,000 of my best friends.

This is where the magic happens. This is my back collection as I sit on the pine right around the fence i mean right at the top of the fence i ride the bench and i don't do too much on a lot of these guys they spend a lot of money on their dad got my office i don't care i just i want people to be able to come in here and fill in the home um here's the cool here's i sleep in my office and here's my stuff my purple quilt my mama made that for me before she died purple is my favorite color Well, I sleep in my office, and here's my stuff. My purple quilt, my mama made that for me before she died. Purple's my favorite color.

It's the color of royalty. It's just stuff. Everybody's got a Daddy Gum Challenge coin. I'm pretty sure the custodians at Capitol Hill have a Daddy Gum Challenge coin. Everybody tries to get me to do one, but I don't. It's a veteran thing. I'm not a veteran. Daddy, of course, fought in the Pacific, Japanese. Aaron's picturing me in the speaker

and on the cover of the Wall Street Journal, which was pretty cool. You sleep here? Is this your bed? Yeah, that's my bed. I sleep on that couch. My best friend, Chris Haggerty, gave me a phone. There's a phone behind there. It's like a memory phone.

I spread it out. We gotta get a longer one because i'm about six one and that's about six feet so i kind of cook hook up but honestly i sleep better here than i do at home it's like when i lived in a fraternity house i always want somebody to come break a bottle outside my door every night so that you know i'd feel at home you know when i was home but anyway it's just i guess because the dogs don't have to go out and pee when I'm up here. This is a massive scandal look at this auto pen. Auto pen yes. Massive scandal. Many many a pardon has been done on those. Anyway. This is the most valuable Biden staffer. This is the action right here. This is everybody. Y'all say hey, Penny Show. How's it going?

This is my crew. Wow. They're all working and they make me famous. These other staffers of yours? Yeah, these are my other, these are my ladies. These are your ex-wives? Yeah, me and Jeff Bezos. You know, I met him at the freaking inauguration. Yeah, I walked up to him and he thought I was just some redneck, which I am. And I pulled my car back and he saw my, oh, hey, Congressman. And I said, and I was talking to him about capitalism and stuff. We had a great conversation. And then I said, oh, ma'am. I said, all my buddies, a bunch of my buddies had texted me and said, man, you got to check out Jeff Bezos' girlfriend, man, you know. And I was like, dude, whatever. And so, you know, she's wearing some exotic clothing or something. Yeah, she caused some problems. She caused some drama.

And then I said to her, I said, ma'am, all my buddies back in Knoxville were telling me just how attractive you were. And man, she just pushed Bezos out of the way and she'd come up and shook my hand. And then I invited Bezos to Knoxville to the Mexon. It's the Mexican restaurant that's attached to the Exxon. That's what we call it.

That's what the Barchets call it. It's really Don Jose's. Oddly enough, the manager's name is Jose, but it's not named after him. Anyway, and I told Bezos, I said, but if you come to Knoxville, I said, you better bring your checkbook. He said, why's that Tim? I said, because the dadgum margaritas, they went up to seven dollars a piece on them. And he thought that's the greatest thing in the world. And he said, man, we're going to hang out or something. He got my card. So anyway, I got that going. You and Dr. Evil. Yeah.

Look at this. Look at this. Absolute scandal. All right, everyone. That's the full tour. We're going live. Tim Burchett, what a legend. Congressional Cribs. That's what we're going to call this series.
