Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, I'm you happy, Pepook, Neil Smith, and old Buck Buddy.
Are you hearing Neil? Neil?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I miss you, Man Donnes I have a question. We
respect for me.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Down by breaking a major story.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Chris congratulations a single Score podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
The bad news for Democrats is, folks, they're imploding, and
that's good news for the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
And this implosion, the only thing that would make it
better is if we had a competent, coagint and unified
Republican Party to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We don't.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
By the way, it's not just me saying the Democrats
are in floating, CNN, The New York Times, They're all
saying it. Two point one million Democrat voters leaving the
party between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, the occupation
of the Oval Office of Beijing, Biden, President Auto Pen,
third term of Barack Hussein Obama right, continuing that trend
(01:18):
that Obama started during his his eight years of catastrophic
losses for the Democrat Party, and then CNN reporting that
Republicans got two point four million additional people signed up
on their roles, so two point one loss for Democrats
two point four million gain for Republicans. So it's all good, right,
(01:40):
but sadly the Republican Party isn't taking advantage. You got
half the Republicans trying to save the Democrats from themselves,
and you've got the other half Republicans who want to
show the country a different way, who want to, Hey,
let's get back to be America again, shall we, folks,
and want to show Americans how to get there. Well,
that's our problem, and here's CNN talking about the reality
(02:04):
we're all living in. If we could just take advantage
of it.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Listen, Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with
the American voter as the cracker barrel rebrand has with
the American consumers. Bad, bad, bad. What are you doing?
Oh my goodness, gracious, what are we talking about here?
In terms of big party registration changes in the key
swing states. Let's look at the key four swing states
(02:27):
that in fact do keep tract of registration by party. Look,
the Republican Party is in their best position at this
point in the cycle since at least two thousand and five,
and all four of these key battleground states. We go
out to the southwest, Arizona, how about Nevada. Republicans haven't
done this well since two thousand and five. Oh, my goodness, Gracia,
at this point of cycle, North Carolina, I couldn't find
(02:50):
the point at which Republicans were doing better at this
point in the cycle. It's at least this century. It
probably goes way back in the last century. And Pennsylvania
very similar. Republicans doing better at this point than at
any point at any point this century, at least as
far as I could find. Now, what types of gains
are we talking about here for the Republican Party, Well,
let's compare it to this point during their first Trump administration,
(03:12):
all the way back in twenty seventeen. Look at this
the Republican Party gains and party registration compared to this
point back in twenty seventeen during the Trump first administration.
In Arizona, you got a Republican gain of three points. Okay,
how about Nevada. Up the hill we go, even though
we're sticking in the southwest, a gain of six points.
How About again we come to the east coast North Carolina,
a gain of eight points for the Republicans. And in
(03:35):
the Keystone State, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania again, we're
talking about a gain of eight points. My goodness, gracious
for Republicans. They are converting old former Democrats to their
side of the ledger as well as picking up new voters,
registering new voters, and it absolutely paid off for them
back in the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, okay, and why is that? Because of President Trump?
President Trump is showing a contrast, bold contrast between Democrats,
not John Corn and milk toast. Oh, I want to
kiss every Democrats ass I can find.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Not Mitch McConnell's.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh, we must get along with our Democrat friends as
they're trying to screw over my own voters. Lisa Murkowski,
Susan Collins, pick your favorite rhino folks in the Texas
State House. We have thirty six to choose from right.
So look, this is all bad news. And if we
had a Republican party that was interested in serving their
(04:33):
voters rather than keeping up this this sophistry of a
two party system, then we could actually get some real
change in this country, get us back to being America again.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Now, of course, Donald Trump has been president since January.
Are there any bright spots for Democrats? Have they picked
up any ground since January one in terms of party registration.
Uh ah, non, These these Keith Swing states, these four
Keith Swing states. What are we talking about? Party regis
stration margin gains since January one, twenty twenty five. Which
party's gained in Arizona? The GOP? How about Nevada, the GOP?
(05:07):
North Carolina the GOP? How out in Pennsylvania. We'll make
it four for four the GOP. The bottom line is this,
Jessica Dean. When it comes to party registration, Republicans have
made massive gains compared to eight years ago. They are
in their best position in these key four swing states
dating back at least twenty years. You have to go
back at least twenty years at least in the case
(05:28):
of Nevada, longer in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. So Republicans
looking pretty gosh darn good at least when it comes
to party registration.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
And can you thank John Cornyn for that?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Can you thank Mitch McConnell for that? No? Absolutely, Like
can you can you thank Jeff Flake or Mitt Romney
of these other fake Republicans who have dropped out of
public service? Trump broke them? Can you thank any of them. No,
they didn't provide a contrast. They didn't provide us with
a choice. They just provided us more of the same,
more failure, more, basically surrender. And you know where you
(06:03):
can see this the most as the Democrats over the
last twenty twenty five years have been aggressively jerrymandering their
states to silence Republican voices and Republican voters. What have
Republicans been doing in red states? Not the same thing,
not at all, not even close.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Here in the.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
State of Texas, by the way, we just started this
and we should have been doing it a long time ago.
Speaking of Texas, the jerrymandering issue that we're talking about here,
Kristen Welker was talking to the Vice President of the
United States, Christian Welker of NBC Fake News. Here was
her question, her vacuous question, ignoring, of course, everything the
(06:44):
Democrats had done to phrase her question.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Listen, President Trump's agenda is so popular, why do Republicans
need to add additional seats to the map? Well, first
of all, Christian, you have to ask yourself, why have
Democrats jerry mannered their states aggressively over the past ten
to twenty years. If you look, for example, at the
popular vote in a lot of these states, and Massachusetts
where thirty two percent of the presidents of Massachusetts voted
(07:10):
for Republicans. Zero Republican federal representatives. So we're not trying
to sort of all we're doing, frankly, is trying to
make the situation a little bit more fair on a
national scale. The Democrats of jerrymandered their states really aggressively.
We think there are opportunities to push back against that,
and that's really all we're doing.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, well, I've got the grafts that show you just
how bad it is. We put it out on the
Chris Alsado Show on Newsmax and it was pretty stark.
I mean, if you look at zero seats for Republicans
when they have significant voting populations. Massachusetts thirty six percent Republican,
no federal representation, Connecticut forty two percent Republican, no representation
(07:55):
in Congress, Maine, New Mexico, New Hampshire forty six, forty six,
forty eight percent, Rhode Island forty two percent Republican, Vermont
thirty two percent republican, Hawaii thirty eight percent republican.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Delaware kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
There's only one seat there, so forty two percent Republican,
and well, I guess the Democrats get to keep that
seat because they are, yes, technically the majority. But all
these other states, all these other states have nowhere near
the representation of Republicans that are requisite for their voters, right,
and then what about those who were underrepresented, Like in
(08:29):
the People's Republic of California thirty eight percent Republican, only
nine of fifty two are Republicans, and they just illegally
jerrymandered again new maps, which they're going to ask their
voters out there in California to be complicit with their
illegality and vote on those maps. By the way, that's
thirty eight percent of Republican votes, they only have twenty
(08:51):
one percent representation in Congress. Illinois forty four percent Republicans vote,
only seventeen and a half percent representation in congres. New
York forty three percent of its Republican, only twenty seven
percent representation in Congress.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Maryland thirty four.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Percent Republican, twelve and a half percent represent them in Congress.
And it just goes down the line, folks. That's called
aggressive jerrymandering and now since the Democrats have pushed that
to the limit, they can't stretch any further, folks, without
jeopardizing their current Democrats. So they're done jerrymandering, and the
(09:30):
Republican states that have been holding their fire are now
being prompted, told like Texas to actually do it. And
now now other red states are going to There's plenty
of roadway that we have, folks. You could conceivably see
maybe twenty or thirty new new Republican seats, and it
would and the Democrats wouldn't win the Congress for many,
(09:55):
many moons if we actually had districts that reflected, that
reflected the reality on the ground. All right, one last thing,
Jared L. Patterson, he is one of those fake Republicans
that I mentioned to you.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Jared L.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Patterson is one of the thirty six fake Republicans who
voted with forty nine real Socialists to elect Dusty the
Democrat Boroughs, a Democrat approved speaker. Right, and of course,
the Democrat approved speaker issued no punishment for those rogue
Democrats who broke quorn for the third time in twenty
five years. It's right, Dusty the Democrat because he serves Democrats.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Didn't punish them.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Right, neither did the fake Republicans. Neither of them, the
speaker or the fake Republicans wanted to punish their good
Democrat friends. And one of these fake Republicans is Jared L.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Patterson.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
You may have heard that Jeff Leech one of the
other fake Republicans. He's been censured. That means it's possible
he could be kicked off the Republican ballot because he's
a fake. He's not really a Republican, no way in hell,
is a conservative. So he shouldn't be allowed to portray
himself as a Republican because the Republican Party says, Look,
if you don't vote Republican, if you don't oppose Democrats,
(11:10):
then you don't deserve to be calling yourself a Republican.
Same thing with Jared L. Patterson, a man who, just
like Gene Wu, he blocks criticism of himself on social
media on x he won't let people criticize him. He's
that thin skinned, like all leftists are. And here's a
recording obtained by our pals at Current Revolt, and here's
(11:32):
what the recording says, Jared Patterson is going to do
to those who may censure him. He's trying to frighten them.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Folks. Listen, I don't.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Think that they're going to have the votes in the deal,
but if they do end up centering me, you know,
I do have an attorney and we are going to
fight this as much as we possibly can, including personal
lawsuits of Melinda and Preston and then trying to knock
me off the ballot. I hope every single prese chair
that votes for this has the ability to lawyer up,
(12:03):
because we're we're not going to arrest and let the
thing happen willingly.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, We're not gonna let it happen.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
So the precinct chairs who want to vote the will
of the people, they're gonna be sued by Jared Patterson
because Jared Patterson wants to continue to thwart the will
of the people in service socialists rather than service voters. Folks,
the real Republicans have got to rise up. The fake
Republicans have got to be defeated. We talk more about
(12:30):
that with somebody who is an actual conservative who has
no problem calling out fake Republicans and the dysfunction of
congress Congressman Tim Burchett up next on the Salcedo Storm
podcast for my sponsor. Oh jeez, if I hear another
Obamacare commercial telling me how great it is, I think
I'm going to vomit. In reality, folks are paying out
the nose for crappy insurance, meaning those commercials are just
(12:52):
as much bs as Obamacare is. What if you're under
sixty five ineed quality affordable health coverage. American Medical Plan
specializes and under sixty five health insurance plans that have
zero copays at the doctor and no deductible on all
outpatient services, including surgeries. You pick your doctors and hospitals.
There are private plans and roll any time, and there
are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare. If you're
(13:15):
paying too much for your own health insurance, call American
Medical Plans. They are the answer to the cancer that
is Obamacare.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to
trust that where you get your news is accurate? In
pro citizen Well, Texas Scorecard has he covered. We give
you real news for real Texans. Go to Texas scorecard
dot com. Today.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Fifty five percent of Hispanic Texans voted for President Trump
in the last election.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That is a.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Huge swing just over the last four years, and it's
indicative of a national trend because the Latino community is
starting to wake up to the Democrats and what they're about.
Their deviancy. They're about anti Americanism, this whole idea that
men can have babies, this whole idea of men playing
in women's sports, it just repulses the Latino community. Plus,
(16:49):
the Democrats hate God. The Democrats have declared a war
on Catholicism because it stands in their way of complete
unadulterated power. So a lot of things again. Just wrote
a book about it, The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino.
It comes out at Christmas. I just researched all of this.
(17:10):
This is the greatest political revolution since the foundation of
the Republican Party, and it's something you've got to be
aware of. The Latino community was supposed to be the
Democrats ace in the hole, and it turns out to
be one of the biggest hindrances to them. That's now
why the Democrats are working to silence us in Texas, Hello,
(17:31):
because they're voting for Conservatives now the Latino community as
they watch their communities be destroyed. I mean, Tony was
on the front lines down there on our border, trying
to stop the illegal alien invasion, right, the illegal alien
invasion that is destroying Latino American communities right now. So
(17:51):
what Tony and others have got to realize those Latinos
are now united with you trying to stop the destruction
of their communities.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And actually Tony's been on the show telling me about
how he's talked to Latinos before who have said, you know,
glad to have somebody down here on the border looking
out for us, because surely the government had abandoned us.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Speaking of the government, let's.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Bring in Congressman Tim Burchett, Conservative, who serves the second
Congressional District in the great state of Tennessee. Serves in
the House Oversight, Foreign Affairs and Transportation committees. Congress, been
great to have you back, Thanks for being here on vacation.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Well, I don't I do more work when I'm home
actually than I do in Washington, d C. I check
my thing today. I think I've got nine meetings today.
So actually in Washington, d C. I just can't get
used to those two hour workdays and those dad gum
post offices just are not going to name themselves right.
(18:51):
But I am glad to be homeworking.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yes, I would imagine.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I just visited your affair state for the Gun Owners
of America convention in Knoxville.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
It was it was a great time as always.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Uh, look, the House is talking about another big, beautiful
bill or another reconciliation bill.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
What are you hearing?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Is this one got actually cut over spending? Are we
just going to be heaping on more costs to our
great grandchildren?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
One of the problem with God is to get the
bills through or in such a small minority. You know,
we gave in on the on the salt tax thing
for the folks up up in New York and some
other things. I hope that's not the case. I'm I'm
hoping we can kind of draw the all the line
into saying so to speak, on this one. And I,
(19:37):
for one, I don't think I'll be voting for anything
that's going to add more to the deaths. So that's
not what we ran on or the debt. I hope
that we can draw the line because America is sick
of it, and frankly, I am, you know, and they
always back us up. They always say, well, it's it's
a you know, it's an election year, or we're going
into a primary. You know, we're always going into a primary.
(19:57):
We're always going into election year. And that's part of
the problem. We all ways do this, and our past
leadership pushed us up against the wall, and that's why
they're not in power anymore. And and so I'm very
much aware of of the I don't like calling it
a swamp. I always say a swamp is something God made. Washington,
DC is a man made sewer. Yeah, and it stinks
(20:19):
like one as well.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Indeed, sir, and well that late speaking of stinking, it
leads me to your your friends over in the Senate,
your colleagues over in the Senate. The Republicans allegedly run
that body. They have adjourned for their for their August recess.
They've gone on vacation, and they left over one hundred
and thirty Trump nominees just waving in the wind. And
(20:43):
then the Republicans air quotes. Republicans said, well, we can't
allow President Trump to use his constitutional authority and make
recess appointments. So we're going to do our good Democrat
friends as solid and we're going to we're going to
call these pro forma sessions in the Senate so that
Trump can't make recess appointments. I'm sorry, Congressman with friends
(21:04):
like those who needs Democrats?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I agree, I agree. I don't like that at all.
I think it sends the wrong message to America. And
I think what Congress. When I say Congress, people need
sure that's Congress had Senate. What we need to understand
is we're one flu season away from the majority. We
did not win overall with our so called agenda, which
(21:27):
we didn't have. We're terrible at messaging and who did
win overall in huge numbers, Donald J. Trump, with his
agenda strong on the border, energy. You can respect that.
Down in Texas. I'm sure we're gonna drill. We're going
to get the coal, we' get the oil, We'll get
the gas out of the ground. Our strong military, those
(21:47):
types of things. That's what Trump ran on and that's
why he won overwhelmingly. We did not win overwhelmingly. And
I think Congress better addressed that messaging and where we're
headed as a Congress because we're not doing Jack Squad.
We have so many that young hearings and we don't
do anything, and we're indebted to the K Street lobbyists
(22:09):
and our staff members are run these committees and are
chairman need to get off their collective asses and do
something because America is sick of this stuff. We actually,
the Big Beautiful Bill had some great stuff in and
I love that editorial I heard right before I came
on the air. But you know, we're not messaging it.
We're running around like a chicken with our head cut off,
(22:30):
and we're not talking about the things. We let the
Democrats define it. We let the national media and we
wring our little hands. That's why I go on CNN
and MSD. I go on all of them, and none
of them do. And I never understand that, because we've
got to take the fight to them. We've lost the fight.
We've lost the fight in the pulpit. Preachers are are
afraid to teach the gospel or to preach the gospel.
(22:52):
Now we at the at the at the water you know,
at the at the water machine, they're at work. Everybody's
sitting around. We keep our mouth shut. We won't fight
people on Facebook. We won't do any of this. We've
turned our colleges and universities over to the far left mob.
And then we scratched our head and wondered what happened?
What happened when only twelve percent of our population probably votes.
(23:16):
And you know, and you're saying, and I really want
to get a copy of r his book on the
Hispanic folks, because I had some Hispanic guy in Knoxville, Tennessee,
bid five hundred dollars to have lunch with me, him
and his wife, which I thought was crazy. I could
have took him the ball market for a chili dog
for free. But he's a success. He's a successful businessman.
(23:39):
He came here, he naturalized, he went through the system,
him and his life, and he said to me, we
love Donald Trump. And I said, why is that. I said,
he's a billionaire, and he said, because he backs it up.
He backs it up. And I thought to myself, Wow,
that is that. We need to start backing it up
as a party. And we're not doing that. I went
(24:00):
to too much coffee this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
No worries.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I ap preach a way, especially when you want to
praise the new book.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I'm going to take that all day long.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino is coming out
in December, and I will get you a copy, Congressman,
and I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
President Trump has shown the Republican Party he's actually en
surgically installed a spine. He's he swooped in and took
over the Republican Party because it was spineless. And I
want to talk to you about that in greater detail.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Folks.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
We're talking to Congressman Tim Burchett, Conservative who serves the
second Congressional district in Tennessee. There is a colleague of yours,
a Democrat socialist by the name of Delia Ramirez and
Delia Ramirez. Here's what she said just the other day.
She's making a lot of headlines. I just want to
play this first and then get to my question. Here's
(24:49):
what she said.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Listen, hello, I'm Bill A.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Sale.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Actually that's Bill A. Saley. Hold on wrong one. Here's
the right one.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Security It's.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It is actually unaccountable law.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
So she's saying that arresting illegal aliens is illegal and
it's unconstitutional. This is the same woman who showed up
on foreign soil, sir, and declared her allegiance for a
foreign country. She declared her allegiance for Watemala over the
United States of America.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
She's on tape doing it.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
The Republican Party moved heaven and earth to expel one
of its own, George Santos, who would later go on
to be convicted of crimes. He was only accused of
crimes at the time. My question to you, and to
every member of the Republican Party is why does why
do the Republicans find it acceptable to have a Democrat
serving in Congress who has declared allegiance to another country?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Because we regutless. That's why we're regutless. We should not.
You should not have any other allegiancy any other country.
You can't serve two masters. We've got to we've got
to change and I'll be proposing legislation as well as
others to change that very very rule or law, because
that is just unbelievable that you could do that. I mean,
(26:11):
that's just that's not even that's the deep state just
coming right out in front of us. Well, there is
no excuse for that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Well, congressman, is the Republican Party now supportive of traders
in the Democrat Party having power over our people in
the United States Congress? Is that now an official position
of the Republican Party?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
I hope not. But I'm afraid we're just so gutlet's brother,
that we don't have the wherewithal to rein that in.
And that's that's the big problem, I think, the real problem.
And and you know, we'll we'll have a hearing on it,
and it'll be six weeks to six months before you
see any action on it, and by then we'll be
(26:54):
we'll have moved on. And that's part of the that's
that's part of the tradition of Congress. And we've got
to change that. You know, you asked, where's my bill?
You know I had to build a defund the Talaman.
We send them forty million dollars a week a week
of your tax dollars through these nngos. It took it's
taken me over a year to get that bill passed.
Now it's stuck in the Senate. Where's the outrage. Where
(27:17):
is Congress rising up saying, hey, this this kind of
stuff can't go on. It's because you've got too many
people getting rich. Elon Musk called it out to us.
We were in a I'm on the Doge subcommittee, and
he said, look, there's a paper trail, and that money's
coming straight back to Washington. You know, it's going in
these dark, dark candidate things, dark dark campaign funds where
(27:41):
you don't see the money, but then it just appears.
You know, these attack ads, those are going after maga
Republicans and they're being funded and pushed by Republican so
called Republicans. You've got to get We've got to get
control of this thing. America needs to wake up and
quit with all this nonsense. We have got to learn
how to lead. We've got to learn that we are
(28:03):
in the majority, and we've got to fully advance the
Trump agenda. I think we're we're headed into some if
we could just always say it's not how you start,
it's how you fanish, if we could finish strong, I
think America respect that.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I think they We've.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Got to get a change in the mentality of our leadership.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I think you would.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
And look, I'm going to talk about the Democrats' agenda
because they have one too. Trump has an agenda, Republicans
have none, and the Democrats do have an agenda. But
I'm probably going to be putting a nail in the
coffin of getting other Republicans to come on my show.
Congressman probably might you may be the only one, maybe
save one or two, who will come on, because I
Am not going to let Delhia Ramirez go. As an
American citizen, I believe it is unacceptable to have a
(28:45):
trader serving inside the US Congress of power over me
and my family, and I'm going to do everything I
can to either raise awareness of it or shame every
Republican for not expelling that woman because she's a trader
to this country and doesn't deserve.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
To be in the Congress.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Now you've been very eloquent at describing how Trump has
an agenda. Trump has a vision, The Republicans have none.
The Democrats have a vision, though, that's something we can
say about them.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Here's their vision.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
The Democrats are pro crime, They're pro illegal alien criminals.
They're pro gerrymandering for blue states only. They threw a
fit when it's gerrymandering happens in red states. What do
you make of their twenty twenty six strategy. I mean,
couldn't the Republicans that they grew some morals and some
unifying principles. Couldn't they wipe the floor with that Democrat party?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
We very well could. But the problem is is that
we're all running off in one hundred different directions. I
think we need to stay focused again on Trump's agenda. Again,
that's a different style of leadership. The Democrats used to
carrot and the stick very effectively. Republicans were more independent thinking.
That sort of fits into our line of leadership. But
(29:57):
I do think we've got to get a real agenda.
And having a week of cryptocurrency and then running home
and celebrating that for three weeks before we do something
else is a failed thing. I think we need to
start moving some of our legislation. It's just all crammed
up in these committees and these committee chairmen. Again, you
(30:20):
have staffers. You have Republican committees that have over that
could have fifty Republican staffers, and then you combine that
with fifty Democrat staffers and it is going every different
these things. Committees are so big and there's so much
involved in them. I think we've kind of lost That's
where we lost our way. That's where the lobbyists can control.
(30:42):
That's why you see bills with strong titles that have
do absolutely nothing but a reporting bills. You go into
a committee, your bright eyed, your idealistic, you have a
great people legislation, and the staff member says, oh, I
don't think we can do this, and you go, oh no,
why not? Well we got some real problems here. He said,
why don't we do this? Why don't we Why don't
(31:04):
we do research? The first year, have the bill that
it funds the research on this, and then you report
that back to Congress and then that'll force Congress to
do something about it, when in reality, all that does
is run out the clock. You spend a few million
dollars on the study and honestly, those studies. Have you
ever seen that ending scene and Raiders of the Lost
(31:24):
Art where the you know, in the that warehouse, that's
where all the studies go. Because I've been in Congress
and I've never seen one of those studies. And we
vote for those every baddom day, and then the guy
or gal goes home and says, oh, I passed my bill.
It has the same title of the original bill, but
it does absolutely nothing. And then you get a write
up in your local paper and everybody pats you on
(31:46):
the back, and everybody at church says, oh I heard
you pass your bill. Yeah, great, you know, and it
does absolutely nothing. That's the problem. That's where we got
to fix this thing. We've got too much access to
these staffers, and there's no control.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Over the term limits, not only not only for members
of Congress, but also their staff. Term limits on staff
in Washington is essential. Congressman, you took me right, tere
I wanted to go. And I'm always fascinated to hear
you because you are one of the few who lifts
the veil on why our government is so ineffective and
cost so much money and how they don't do much
(32:23):
for the American people these days because of the very
system you're describing. What is on the docket for you
when you get back from the August recess to Washington,
What do you want to push through and do you
have a strategy to.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Get it through?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Yeah? I have a bill the defund the Taliban. I
have a document from the State Department. It was classified,
now it's unclassified. It shows basically, we sent five billion
dollars over there. It's over a thousand NGOs, non government
organizations they're called, but they get government money. I'm going
to expose that. I'm going to go to the Senate.
I'm going to go to mister Thune's office if I
(32:57):
had to park out there and wait until I can
get some kind of movement on this bill. It's got
Tommy Turber Bill and Senator she He are both sponsors
of it. But you know, every time I watch the television,
they're in some hearing doing something and it does absolutely nothing. Nothing.
Let's show America we're doing something. I never understand leadership.
(33:20):
Once they get there, it's just like they just they
just become part of the machine.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Man.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
They would make me leader. I would be there for
about a month because they would run me out because
I would make everybody work. But let me tell you
one quick thing. You said something that reminded me. Yeah,
you said. I always go, you know, and I'm on
your show, and I'm sure I'll get a call from
somebody in leadership, which I always do, and they, you know,
and they'll come and send their guide, a friend of
mine usually to sit beside me on my house floor
(33:48):
and say, burn ship man, you can't be saying this stuff.
I said, what, And they'll say, always heard you on
whatever show, And I said, but you know it's the truth, right,
And he goes, oh, yeah, we know it's the truth.
We just don't want you saying it. And that you know,
I get that stuff all the time from those guys,
and I'm sick of it. We've got it. We got
to take our country back, folks. We're much better than
(34:08):
the Democrats. We are so much better than they are,
that we could be so much better. We got We're
in the driver's seat. Let's take this thing out for
a ride and see how we can do. I just wish,
I hate a missed opportunity, and I don't want to
look back a couple of years from now in President
Trump is a distant memory and we we we all
(34:30):
the things we could have done and didn't do, and
I just hate it.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
And you know what, Congressman, I'll be honest with you.
You just described some of my days where I have
a discussion with the powers that be and I say, hey,
this is the truth. Why are we not talking about it?
We just can't talk about it. It's the truth, right, Yeah,
we just can't talk about it. It's like, oh, okay,
(34:54):
that is That is more common than a lot of
people would want to know. But hey, congressm Tim Burchett,
You're always welcome on this show and keep up the
good fight there in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Folks.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
He's the second congressional district representative in the House of Representatives.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Always appreciate the time, sir.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Thank you brother. Following me on the X at Kim Burchett,
thank you, thank.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
You, sir for telling it like it is.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
And that's going to wrap it up for this edition
of the Salsado Storm podcast. Do me a favorite kids,
visit a couple of websites, Texas scorecard dot com and
the new chrissalsado dot com.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Chrissalsato dot com.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Has some pretty cool features, including your ability to get
some savings by pre ordering the new book that was
mentioned by the Congressman, The Rise of the Liberty loving Latino.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
A New American Revolution.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Till we visit again, my friends, remember this. A society's
worth isn't measured by how much power is stolen by government.
A society's worth is measured by how much power is
reserved for you and me, we the people. You keep
fighting for freedom out there, my friends,
Hello, I'm you happy, Pepook, Neil Smith, and old Buck Buddy.
Are you hearing Neil? Neil?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I miss you, Man Donnes I have a question. We
respect for me.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Down by breaking a major story.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Chris congratulations a single Score podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
The bad news for Democrats is, folks, they're imploding, and
that's good news for the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
And this implosion, the only thing that would make it
better is if we had a competent, coagint and unified
Republican Party to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
We don't.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
By the way, it's not just me saying the Democrats
are in floating, CNN, The New York Times, They're all
saying it. Two point one million Democrat voters leaving the
party between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, the occupation
of the Oval Office of Beijing, Biden, President Auto Pen,
third term of Barack Hussein Obama right, continuing that trend
(01:18):
that Obama started during his his eight years of catastrophic
losses for the Democrat Party, and then CNN reporting that
Republicans got two point four million additional people signed up
on their roles, so two point one loss for Democrats
two point four million gain for Republicans. So it's all good, right,
(01:40):
but sadly the Republican Party isn't taking advantage. You got
half the Republicans trying to save the Democrats from themselves,
and you've got the other half Republicans who want to
show the country a different way, who want to, Hey,
let's get back to be America again, shall we, folks,
and want to show Americans how to get there. Well,
that's our problem, and here's CNN talking about the reality
(02:04):
we're all living in. If we could just take advantage
of it.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Listen, Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with
the American voter as the cracker barrel rebrand has with
the American consumers. Bad, bad, bad. What are you doing?
Oh my goodness, gracious, what are we talking about here?
In terms of big party registration changes in the key
swing states. Let's look at the key four swing states
(02:27):
that in fact do keep tract of registration by party. Look,
the Republican Party is in their best position at this
point in the cycle since at least two thousand and five,
and all four of these key battleground states. We go
out to the southwest, Arizona, how about Nevada. Republicans haven't
done this well since two thousand and five. Oh, my goodness, Gracia,
at this point of cycle, North Carolina, I couldn't find
(02:50):
the point at which Republicans were doing better at this
point in the cycle. It's at least this century. It
probably goes way back in the last century. And Pennsylvania
very similar. Republicans doing better at this point than at
any point at any point this century, at least as
far as I could find. Now, what types of gains
are we talking about here for the Republican Party, Well,
let's compare it to this point during their first Trump administration,
(03:12):
all the way back in twenty seventeen. Look at this
the Republican Party gains and party registration compared to this
point back in twenty seventeen during the Trump first administration.
In Arizona, you got a Republican gain of three points. Okay,
how about Nevada. Up the hill we go, even though
we're sticking in the southwest, a gain of six points.
How About again we come to the east coast North Carolina,
a gain of eight points for the Republicans. And in
(03:35):
the Keystone State, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania again, we're
talking about a gain of eight points. My goodness, gracious
for Republicans. They are converting old former Democrats to their
side of the ledger as well as picking up new voters,
registering new voters, and it absolutely paid off for them
back in the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, okay, and why is that? Because of President Trump?
President Trump is showing a contrast, bold contrast between Democrats,
not John Corn and milk toast. Oh, I want to
kiss every Democrats ass I can find.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Not Mitch McConnell's.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh, we must get along with our Democrat friends as
they're trying to screw over my own voters. Lisa Murkowski,
Susan Collins, pick your favorite rhino folks in the Texas
State House. We have thirty six to choose from right.
So look, this is all bad news. And if we
had a Republican party that was interested in serving their
(04:33):
voters rather than keeping up this this sophistry of a
two party system, then we could actually get some real
change in this country, get us back to being America again.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Now, of course, Donald Trump has been president since January.
Are there any bright spots for Democrats? Have they picked
up any ground since January one in terms of party registration.
Uh ah, non, These these Keith Swing states, these four
Keith Swing states. What are we talking about? Party regis
stration margin gains since January one, twenty twenty five. Which
party's gained in Arizona? The GOP? How about Nevada, the GOP?
(05:07):
North Carolina the GOP? How out in Pennsylvania. We'll make
it four for four the GOP. The bottom line is this,
Jessica Dean. When it comes to party registration, Republicans have
made massive gains compared to eight years ago. They are
in their best position in these key four swing states
dating back at least twenty years. You have to go
back at least twenty years at least in the case
(05:28):
of Nevada, longer in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. So Republicans
looking pretty gosh darn good at least when it comes
to party registration.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
And can you thank John Cornyn for that?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Can you thank Mitch McConnell for that? No? Absolutely, Like
can you can you thank Jeff Flake or Mitt Romney
of these other fake Republicans who have dropped out of
public service? Trump broke them? Can you thank any of them. No,
they didn't provide a contrast. They didn't provide us with
a choice. They just provided us more of the same,
more failure, more, basically surrender. And you know where you
(06:03):
can see this the most as the Democrats over the
last twenty twenty five years have been aggressively jerrymandering their
states to silence Republican voices and Republican voters. What have
Republicans been doing in red states? Not the same thing,
not at all, not even close.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Here in the.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
State of Texas, by the way, we just started this
and we should have been doing it a long time ago.
Speaking of Texas, the jerrymandering issue that we're talking about here,
Kristen Welker was talking to the Vice President of the
United States, Christian Welker of NBC Fake News. Here was
her question, her vacuous question, ignoring, of course, everything the
(06:44):
Democrats had done to phrase her question.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Listen, President Trump's agenda is so popular, why do Republicans
need to add additional seats to the map? Well, first
of all, Christian, you have to ask yourself, why have
Democrats jerry mannered their states aggressively over the past ten
to twenty years. If you look, for example, at the
popular vote in a lot of these states, and Massachusetts
where thirty two percent of the presidents of Massachusetts voted
(07:10):
for Republicans. Zero Republican federal representatives. So we're not trying
to sort of all we're doing, frankly, is trying to
make the situation a little bit more fair on a
national scale. The Democrats of jerrymandered their states really aggressively.
We think there are opportunities to push back against that,
and that's really all we're doing.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, well, I've got the grafts that show you just
how bad it is. We put it out on the
Chris Alsado Show on Newsmax and it was pretty stark.
I mean, if you look at zero seats for Republicans
when they have significant voting populations. Massachusetts thirty six percent Republican,
no federal representation, Connecticut forty two percent Republican, no representation
(07:55):
in Congress, Maine, New Mexico, New Hampshire forty six, forty six,
forty eight percent, Rhode Island forty two percent Republican, Vermont
thirty two percent republican, Hawaii thirty eight percent republican.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Delaware kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
There's only one seat there, so forty two percent Republican,
and well, I guess the Democrats get to keep that
seat because they are, yes, technically the majority. But all
these other states, all these other states have nowhere near
the representation of Republicans that are requisite for their voters, right,
and then what about those who were underrepresented, Like in
(08:29):
the People's Republic of California thirty eight percent Republican, only
nine of fifty two are Republicans, and they just illegally
jerrymandered again new maps, which they're going to ask their
voters out there in California to be complicit with their
illegality and vote on those maps. By the way, that's
thirty eight percent of Republican votes, they only have twenty
(08:51):
one percent representation in Congress. Illinois forty four percent Republicans vote,
only seventeen and a half percent representation in congres. New
York forty three percent of its Republican, only twenty seven
percent representation in Congress.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Maryland thirty four.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Percent Republican, twelve and a half percent represent them in Congress.
And it just goes down the line, folks. That's called
aggressive jerrymandering and now since the Democrats have pushed that
to the limit, they can't stretch any further, folks, without
jeopardizing their current Democrats. So they're done jerrymandering, and the
(09:30):
Republican states that have been holding their fire are now
being prompted, told like Texas to actually do it. And
now now other red states are going to There's plenty
of roadway that we have, folks. You could conceivably see
maybe twenty or thirty new new Republican seats, and it
would and the Democrats wouldn't win the Congress for many,
(09:55):
many moons if we actually had districts that reflected, that
reflected the reality on the ground. All right, one last thing,
Jared L. Patterson, he is one of those fake Republicans
that I mentioned to you.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Jared L.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Patterson is one of the thirty six fake Republicans who
voted with forty nine real Socialists to elect Dusty the
Democrat Boroughs, a Democrat approved speaker. Right, and of course,
the Democrat approved speaker issued no punishment for those rogue
Democrats who broke quorn for the third time in twenty
five years. It's right, Dusty the Democrat because he serves Democrats.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Didn't punish them.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Right, neither did the fake Republicans. Neither of them, the
speaker or the fake Republicans wanted to punish their good
Democrat friends. And one of these fake Republicans is Jared L.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Patterson.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
You may have heard that Jeff Leech one of the
other fake Republicans. He's been censured. That means it's possible
he could be kicked off the Republican ballot because he's
a fake. He's not really a Republican, no way in hell,
is a conservative. So he shouldn't be allowed to portray
himself as a Republican because the Republican Party says, Look,
if you don't vote Republican, if you don't oppose Democrats,
(11:10):
then you don't deserve to be calling yourself a Republican.
Same thing with Jared L. Patterson, a man who, just
like Gene Wu, he blocks criticism of himself on social
media on x he won't let people criticize him. He's
that thin skinned, like all leftists are. And here's a
recording obtained by our pals at Current Revolt, and here's
(11:32):
what the recording says, Jared Patterson is going to do
to those who may censure him. He's trying to frighten them.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Folks. Listen, I don't.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Think that they're going to have the votes in the deal,
but if they do end up centering me, you know,
I do have an attorney and we are going to
fight this as much as we possibly can, including personal
lawsuits of Melinda and Preston and then trying to knock
me off the ballot. I hope every single prese chair
that votes for this has the ability to lawyer up,
(12:03):
because we're we're not going to arrest and let the
thing happen willingly.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, We're not gonna let it happen.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
So the precinct chairs who want to vote the will
of the people, they're gonna be sued by Jared Patterson
because Jared Patterson wants to continue to thwart the will
of the people in service socialists rather than service voters. Folks,
the real Republicans have got to rise up. The fake
Republicans have got to be defeated. We talk more about
(12:30):
that with somebody who is an actual conservative who has
no problem calling out fake Republicans and the dysfunction of
congress Congressman Tim Burchett up next on the Salcedo Storm
podcast for my sponsor. Oh jeez, if I hear another
Obamacare commercial telling me how great it is, I think
I'm going to vomit. In reality, folks are paying out
the nose for crappy insurance, meaning those commercials are just
(12:52):
as much bs as Obamacare is. What if you're under
sixty five ineed quality affordable health coverage. American Medical Plan
specializes and under sixty five health insurance plans that have
zero copays at the doctor and no deductible on all
outpatient services, including surgeries. You pick your doctors and hospitals.
There are private plans and roll any time, and there
are thirty to sixty percent less than Obamacare. If you're
(13:15):
paying too much for your own health insurance, call American
Medical Plans. They are the answer to the cancer that
is Obamacare.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
That is a.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Huge swing just over the last four years, and it's
indicative of a national trend because the Latino community is
starting to wake up to the Democrats and what they're about.
Their deviancy. They're about anti Americanism, this whole idea that
men can have babies, this whole idea of men playing
in women's sports, it just repulses the Latino community. Plus,
(16:49):
the Democrats hate God. The Democrats have declared a war
on Catholicism because it stands in their way of complete
unadulterated power. So a lot of things again. Just wrote
a book about it, The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino.
It comes out at Christmas. I just researched all of this.
(17:10):
This is the greatest political revolution since the foundation of
the Republican Party, and it's something you've got to be
aware of. The Latino community was supposed to be the
Democrats ace in the hole, and it turns out to
be one of the biggest hindrances to them. That's now
why the Democrats are working to silence us in Texas, Hello,
(17:31):
because they're voting for Conservatives now the Latino community as
they watch their communities be destroyed. I mean, Tony was
on the front lines down there on our border, trying
to stop the illegal alien invasion, right, the illegal alien
invasion that is destroying Latino American communities right now. So
(17:51):
what Tony and others have got to realize those Latinos
are now united with you trying to stop the destruction
of their communities.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
And actually Tony's been on the show telling me about
how he's talked to Latinos before who have said, you know,
glad to have somebody down here on the border looking
out for us, because surely the government had abandoned us.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Speaking of the government, let's.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Bring in Congressman Tim Burchett, Conservative, who serves the second
Congressional District in the great state of Tennessee. Serves in
the House Oversight, Foreign Affairs and Transportation committees. Congress, been
great to have you back, Thanks for being here on vacation.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Well, I don't I do more work when I'm home
actually than I do in Washington, d C. I check
my thing today. I think I've got nine meetings today.
So actually in Washington, d C. I just can't get
used to those two hour workdays and those dad gum
post offices just are not going to name themselves right.
(18:51):
But I am glad to be homeworking.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yes, I would imagine.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I just visited your affair state for the Gun Owners
of America convention in Knoxville.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
It was it was a great time as always.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Uh, look, the House is talking about another big, beautiful
bill or another reconciliation bill.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
What are you hearing?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Is this one got actually cut over spending? Are we
just going to be heaping on more costs to our
great grandchildren?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
One of the problem with God is to get the
bills through or in such a small minority. You know,
we gave in on the on the salt tax thing
for the folks up up in New York and some
other things. I hope that's not the case. I'm I'm
hoping we can kind of draw the all the line
into saying so to speak, on this one. And I,
(19:37):
for one, I don't think I'll be voting for anything
that's going to add more to the deaths. So that's
not what we ran on or the debt. I hope
that we can draw the line because America is sick
of it, and frankly, I am, you know, and they
always back us up. They always say, well, it's it's
a you know, it's an election year, or we're going
into a primary. You know, we're always going into a primary.
(19:57):
We're always going into election year. And that's part of
the problem. We all ways do this, and our past
leadership pushed us up against the wall, and that's why
they're not in power anymore. And and so I'm very
much aware of of the I don't like calling it
a swamp. I always say a swamp is something God made. Washington,
DC is a man made sewer. Yeah, and it stinks
(20:19):
like one as well.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Indeed, sir, and well that late speaking of stinking, it
leads me to your your friends over in the Senate,
your colleagues over in the Senate. The Republicans allegedly run
that body. They have adjourned for their for their August recess.
They've gone on vacation, and they left over one hundred
and thirty Trump nominees just waving in the wind. And
(20:43):
then the Republicans air quotes. Republicans said, well, we can't
allow President Trump to use his constitutional authority and make
recess appointments. So we're going to do our good Democrat
friends as solid and we're going to we're going to
call these pro forma sessions in the Senate so that
Trump can't make recess appointments. I'm sorry, Congressman with friends
(21:04):
like those who needs Democrats?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I agree, I agree. I don't like that at all.
I think it sends the wrong message to America. And
I think what Congress. When I say Congress, people need
sure that's Congress had Senate. What we need to understand
is we're one flu season away from the majority. We
did not win overall with our so called agenda, which
(21:27):
we didn't have. We're terrible at messaging and who did
win overall in huge numbers, Donald J. Trump, with his
agenda strong on the border, energy. You can respect that.
Down in Texas. I'm sure we're gonna drill. We're going
to get the coal, we' get the oil, We'll get
the gas out of the ground. Our strong military, those
(21:47):
types of things. That's what Trump ran on and that's
why he won overwhelmingly. We did not win overwhelmingly. And
I think Congress better addressed that messaging and where we're
headed as a Congress because we're not doing Jack Squad.
We have so many that young hearings and we don't
do anything, and we're indebted to the K Street lobbyists
(22:09):
and our staff members are run these committees and are
chairman need to get off their collective asses and do
something because America is sick of this stuff. We actually,
the Big Beautiful Bill had some great stuff in and
I love that editorial I heard right before I came
on the air. But you know, we're not messaging it.
We're running around like a chicken with our head cut off,
(22:30):
and we're not talking about the things. We let the
Democrats define it. We let the national media and we
wring our little hands. That's why I go on CNN
and MSD. I go on all of them, and none
of them do. And I never understand that, because we've
got to take the fight to them. We've lost the fight.
We've lost the fight in the pulpit. Preachers are are
afraid to teach the gospel or to preach the gospel.
(22:52):
Now we at the at the at the water you know,
at the at the water machine, they're at work. Everybody's
sitting around. We keep our mouth shut. We won't fight
people on Facebook. We won't do any of this. We've
turned our colleges and universities over to the far left mob.
And then we scratched our head and wondered what happened?
What happened when only twelve percent of our population probably votes.
(23:16):
And you know, and you're saying, and I really want
to get a copy of r his book on the
Hispanic folks, because I had some Hispanic guy in Knoxville, Tennessee,
bid five hundred dollars to have lunch with me, him
and his wife, which I thought was crazy. I could
have took him the ball market for a chili dog
for free. But he's a success. He's a successful businessman.
(23:39):
He came here, he naturalized, he went through the system,
him and his life, and he said to me, we
love Donald Trump. And I said, why is that. I said,
he's a billionaire, and he said, because he backs it up.
He backs it up. And I thought to myself, Wow,
that is that. We need to start backing it up
as a party. And we're not doing that. I went
(24:00):
to too much coffee this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
No worries.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
I ap preach a way, especially when you want to
praise the new book.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I'm going to take that all day long.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino is coming out
in December, and I will get you a copy, Congressman,
and I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
President Trump has shown the Republican Party he's actually en
surgically installed a spine. He's he swooped in and took
over the Republican Party because it was spineless. And I
want to talk to you about that in greater detail.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Folks.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
We're talking to Congressman Tim Burchett, Conservative who serves the
second Congressional district in Tennessee. There is a colleague of yours,
a Democrat socialist by the name of Delia Ramirez and
Delia Ramirez. Here's what she said just the other day.
She's making a lot of headlines. I just want to
play this first and then get to my question. Here's
(24:49):
what she said.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Listen, hello, I'm Bill A.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Sale.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Actually that's Bill A. Saley. Hold on wrong one. Here's
the right one.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Security It's.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It is actually unaccountable law.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
So she's saying that arresting illegal aliens is illegal and
it's unconstitutional. This is the same woman who showed up
on foreign soil, sir, and declared her allegiance for a
foreign country. She declared her allegiance for Watemala over the
United States of America.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
She's on tape doing it.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
The Republican Party moved heaven and earth to expel one
of its own, George Santos, who would later go on
to be convicted of crimes. He was only accused of
crimes at the time. My question to you, and to
every member of the Republican Party is why does why
do the Republicans find it acceptable to have a Democrat
serving in Congress who has declared allegiance to another country?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Because we regutless. That's why we're regutless. We should not.
You should not have any other allegiancy any other country.
You can't serve two masters. We've got to we've got
to change and I'll be proposing legislation as well as
others to change that very very rule or law, because
that is just unbelievable that you could do that. I mean,
(26:11):
that's just that's not even that's the deep state just
coming right out in front of us. Well, there is
no excuse for that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Well, congressman, is the Republican Party now supportive of traders
in the Democrat Party having power over our people in
the United States Congress? Is that now an official position
of the Republican Party?
Speaker 4 (26:33):
I hope not. But I'm afraid we're just so gutlet's brother,
that we don't have the wherewithal to rein that in.
And that's that's the big problem, I think, the real problem.
And and you know, we'll we'll have a hearing on it,
and it'll be six weeks to six months before you
see any action on it, and by then we'll be
(26:54):
we'll have moved on. And that's part of the that's
that's part of the tradition of Congress. And we've got
to change that. You know, you asked, where's my bill?
You know I had to build a defund the Talaman.
We send them forty million dollars a week a week
of your tax dollars through these nngos. It took it's
taken me over a year to get that bill passed.
Now it's stuck in the Senate. Where's the outrage. Where
(27:17):
is Congress rising up saying, hey, this this kind of
stuff can't go on. It's because you've got too many
people getting rich. Elon Musk called it out to us.
We were in a I'm on the Doge subcommittee, and
he said, look, there's a paper trail, and that money's
coming straight back to Washington. You know, it's going in
these dark, dark candidate things, dark dark campaign funds where
(27:41):
you don't see the money, but then it just appears.
You know, these attack ads, those are going after maga
Republicans and they're being funded and pushed by Republican so
called Republicans. You've got to get We've got to get
control of this thing. America needs to wake up and
quit with all this nonsense. We have got to learn
how to lead. We've got to learn that we are
(28:03):
in the majority, and we've got to fully advance the
Trump agenda. I think we're we're headed into some if
we could just always say it's not how you start,
it's how you fanish, if we could finish strong, I
think America respect that.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I think they We've.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Got to get a change in the mentality of our leadership.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I think you would.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
And look, I'm going to talk about the Democrats' agenda
because they have one too. Trump has an agenda, Republicans
have none, and the Democrats do have an agenda. But
I'm probably going to be putting a nail in the
coffin of getting other Republicans to come on my show.
Congressman probably might you may be the only one, maybe
save one or two, who will come on, because I
Am not going to let Delhia Ramirez go. As an
American citizen, I believe it is unacceptable to have a
(28:45):
trader serving inside the US Congress of power over me
and my family, and I'm going to do everything I
can to either raise awareness of it or shame every
Republican for not expelling that woman because she's a trader
to this country and doesn't deserve.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
To be in the Congress.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Now you've been very eloquent at describing how Trump has
an agenda. Trump has a vision, The Republicans have none.
The Democrats have a vision, though, that's something we can
say about them.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Here's their vision.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
The Democrats are pro crime, They're pro illegal alien criminals.
They're pro gerrymandering for blue states only. They threw a
fit when it's gerrymandering happens in red states. What do
you make of their twenty twenty six strategy. I mean,
couldn't the Republicans that they grew some morals and some
unifying principles. Couldn't they wipe the floor with that Democrat party?
Speaker 4 (29:35):
We very well could. But the problem is is that
we're all running off in one hundred different directions. I
think we need to stay focused again on Trump's agenda. Again,
that's a different style of leadership. The Democrats used to
carrot and the stick very effectively. Republicans were more independent thinking.
That sort of fits into our line of leadership. But
(29:57):
I do think we've got to get a real agenda.
And having a week of cryptocurrency and then running home
and celebrating that for three weeks before we do something
else is a failed thing. I think we need to
start moving some of our legislation. It's just all crammed
up in these committees and these committee chairmen. Again, you
(30:20):
have staffers. You have Republican committees that have over that
could have fifty Republican staffers, and then you combine that
with fifty Democrat staffers and it is going every different
these things. Committees are so big and there's so much
involved in them. I think we've kind of lost That's
where we lost our way. That's where the lobbyists can control.
(30:42):
That's why you see bills with strong titles that have
do absolutely nothing but a reporting bills. You go into
a committee, your bright eyed, your idealistic, you have a
great people legislation, and the staff member says, oh, I
don't think we can do this, and you go, oh no,
why not? Well we got some real problems here. He said,
why don't we do this? Why don't we Why don't
(31:04):
we do research? The first year, have the bill that
it funds the research on this, and then you report
that back to Congress and then that'll force Congress to
do something about it, when in reality, all that does
is run out the clock. You spend a few million
dollars on the study and honestly, those studies. Have you
ever seen that ending scene and Raiders of the Lost
(31:24):
Art where the you know, in the that warehouse, that's
where all the studies go. Because I've been in Congress
and I've never seen one of those studies. And we
vote for those every baddom day, and then the guy
or gal goes home and says, oh, I passed my bill.
It has the same title of the original bill, but
it does absolutely nothing. And then you get a write
up in your local paper and everybody pats you on
(31:46):
the back, and everybody at church says, oh I heard
you pass your bill. Yeah, great, you know, and it
does absolutely nothing. That's the problem. That's where we got
to fix this thing. We've got too much access to
these staffers, and there's no control.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Over the term limits, not only not only for members
of Congress, but also their staff. Term limits on staff
in Washington is essential. Congressman, you took me right, tere
I wanted to go. And I'm always fascinated to hear
you because you are one of the few who lifts
the veil on why our government is so ineffective and
cost so much money and how they don't do much
(32:23):
for the American people these days because of the very
system you're describing. What is on the docket for you
when you get back from the August recess to Washington,
What do you want to push through and do you
have a strategy to.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Get it through?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Yeah? I have a bill the defund the Taliban. I
have a document from the State Department. It was classified,
now it's unclassified. It shows basically, we sent five billion
dollars over there. It's over a thousand NGOs, non government
organizations they're called, but they get government money. I'm going
to expose that. I'm going to go to the Senate.
I'm going to go to mister Thune's office if I
(32:57):
had to park out there and wait until I can
get some kind of movement on this bill. It's got
Tommy Turber Bill and Senator she He are both sponsors
of it. But you know, every time I watch the television,
they're in some hearing doing something and it does absolutely nothing. Nothing.
Let's show America we're doing something. I never understand leadership.
(33:20):
Once they get there, it's just like they just they
just become part of the machine.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Man.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
They would make me leader. I would be there for
about a month because they would run me out because
I would make everybody work. But let me tell you
one quick thing. You said something that reminded me. Yeah,
you said. I always go, you know, and I'm on
your show, and I'm sure I'll get a call from
somebody in leadership, which I always do, and they, you know,
and they'll come and send their guide, a friend of
mine usually to sit beside me on my house floor
(33:48):
and say, burn ship man, you can't be saying this stuff.
I said, what, And they'll say, always heard you on
whatever show, And I said, but you know it's the truth, right,
And he goes, oh, yeah, we know it's the truth.
We just don't want you saying it. And that you know,
I get that stuff all the time from those guys,
and I'm sick of it. We've got it. We got
to take our country back, folks. We're much better than
(34:08):
the Democrats. We are so much better than they are,
that we could be so much better. We got We're
in the driver's seat. Let's take this thing out for
a ride and see how we can do. I just wish,
I hate a missed opportunity, and I don't want to
look back a couple of years from now in President
Trump is a distant memory and we we we all
(34:30):
the things we could have done and didn't do, and
I just hate it.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
And you know what, Congressman, I'll be honest with you.
You just described some of my days where I have
a discussion with the powers that be and I say, hey,
this is the truth. Why are we not talking about it?
We just can't talk about it. It's the truth, right, Yeah,
we just can't talk about it. It's like, oh, okay,
(34:54):
that is That is more common than a lot of
people would want to know. But hey, congressm Tim Burchett,
You're always welcome on this show and keep up the
good fight there in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Folks.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
He's the second congressional district representative in the House of Representatives.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Always appreciate the time, sir.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Thank you brother. Following me on the X at Kim Burchett,
thank you, thank.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
You, sir for telling it like it is.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
And that's going to wrap it up for this edition
of the Salsado Storm podcast. Do me a favorite kids,
visit a couple of websites, Texas scorecard dot com and
the new chrissalsado dot com.

some savings by pre ordering the new book that was
mentioned by the Congressman, The Rise of the Liberty loving Latino.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
A New American Revolution.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Till we visit again, my friends, remember this. A society's
worth isn't measured by how much power is stolen by government.
A society's worth is measured by how much power is
reserved for you and me, we the people. You keep
fighting for freedom out there, my friends,
