| 0:36.1 | We have a really big show for you. I think you're going to know our next guest because he has been all over the news this year. Actually, he's all over the news all the time. He is a state representative from Tennessee. He's also running for Congress. Representative Justin Pearson is with us today. Representative, it's great to have you. I'm glad to be with you.
