Summary
It's been over 27-years since the four corners of congressional leadership managed to do one of their most important jobs— fully fund the government through appropriation bills. The establishment way to govern has become to just keep passing continuing resolutions. The GOP now has no excuse, they have the house, the senate and the presidency going into the new year. The whole conference needs to get their act together, unite, and get to work! DJT won a decisive victory on Nov 5th -- that means the RINOS in the senate need to stop playing games and make sure his appointments all get confirmed — just like the Marxist Dems did for Biden in 2020!

| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody and welcome to The Great America Show. It's great to have you with us. Thanks so much for joining us. Our guest today is Congressman Tim Burchard of the Great State of Tennessee. He's a member of the House Oversight Committee, the powerful House Oversight Committee, and he's a great, great American. |
| 0:18.2 | Congressman Burchard, I appreciate you, joining us back here on the Great |
| 0:21.1 | America show. It's always great to have you with us. I want to start with first. We're about to |
| 0:25.9 | enter the 11th Congress in just a few weeks. Donald Trump is coming back to the White House. |
| 0:32.1 | I know you take big issue with the spending on Capitol Hill. You always put out a funny little |
| 0:36.4 | video walking out of the Capitol saying we just wasted more of your damn money. Are you guys going to be |
| 0:41.0 | able to get a budget through this Congress? No. I don't get it. Why is it seemingly so |
| 0:50.3 | impossible? Because nobody really wants it. They pass a CR. |
| 0:55.0 | The best thing they can do is drop a 3,000-page budget or amend spending CR, whatever, |
| 1:02.9 | two hours before we're supposed to vote on it because nobody, everybody just checks |
| 1:07.9 | to see which lobbyists they need degrees or what bridge to know where |
| 1:11.2 | they want to build. And that gamut, they vote for it. That's why we're 35 or 36 trillion dollars in |
| 1:16.5 | debt. We don't have the guts to do it. We need to do like we do in Tennessee. Single issue spending |
| 1:21.9 | bills. So do you think, I mean, even with President Trump here now, the chief negotiator, the man, if we ever have peace with North Korea, if we ever have peace with Iran, it's going to be from Donald Trump's doing. |
| 1:33.6 | You don't think Donald Trump is going to be able to with Mike Johnson get something clean through that. |
| 1:38.7 | We don't constantly have to keep going after the CR after CR after CRs. |
| 1:43.2 | We hadn't passed a budget in over 30 years. |
| 1:45.6 | Nobody really wants a budget. |
| 1:47.5 | I do. |
| 1:48.4 | I mean, the American public does when they're explained it, but they get their road paved |
| 1:53.8 | or they get their whatever sports park built. |
| 1:57.8 | They just keep voting for the same people that deliver the goods. Yeah, it's seemingly, |
