get ready to take a flamethrower to the official narrative and learn what the elites don't want you to know you're listening to the tom woods show

hello everybody tom woods here it's episode 2628 of the Tom Woods show. And I couldn't be happier to have former U.S. Congressman John, or better known as Jimmy Duncan, here with me from Tennessee. He served in the U.S. Congress from, if I remember this right, 1988, all the way through 2019 when he retired. And he

0:40.8

had rather an interesting career because, of course, he served during, let's say, interesting

0:45.7

times. And I thought we would bring him back on and have a little chit-chat about a whole bunch of

0:51.6

things. So, Congressman, welcome back. Well, Tom, it's an honor for me to be on your program. I told you once that I think I may be your

0:59.2

biggest saying, and I listened to your program probably at some point almost every day.

1:05.0

I really have a lot of admiration and respect for you. Gosh, I read your book meltdown years ago, and you warned us at

1:14.0

that time about what was going to happen in the recession of 2009 and 10, and in that period of

1:20.9

1:44.6

but I want to make sure everybody's aware of, is that you were the last Republican opponent

1:48.8

of the Iraq war to retire from Congress. So you had a vote that was controversial at the time,

1:55.6

but as you've said before, as time went on, that vote became one of your more popular vote.

2:00.9

So that's an interesting thing.

2:02.2

I want to talk about, I have a bunch of thoughts here.

2:05.2

Your father, well, first of all, I got the idea of bringing you back on because I saw you at

2:09.6

Ron Paul's house a couple of weeks ago.

2:11.8

Right.

2:12.1

And we got to chatting.

2:13.4

And I thought, doggone it, why am I not having Congress for Duncan back on? So I want to start with your father also served in the U.S. Congress and represented the same district you did?
