Summary

Hold onto your sweet tea—this episode is a wild ride through the underbelly of Washington, D.C.! Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett doesn’t hold back as he spills the tea (and maybe a little Mountain Dew) on government dysfunction, shady lobbyists, and how politics really works behind the scenes.

From hilarious Capitol Hill stories and surprise call-ins to serious hot takes on Ukraine, China, government spending, and staffer influence Tim delivers it all with honesty, humor, and that unmistakable Southern charm. You'll laugh, you’ll shake your head, and you might even feel a little hopeful about the future.
