Rep. Tim Burchett

Theirs is just a little more crooked than ours.

And I think that's the case unless we show America otherwise.

And by doing so...

We've got to go after our own members and take the gloves off.

When I was in the state legislature, I would put bills of mine up that were good bills that the state of Tennessee people wanted in my district, and I knew they were going to fail.

And the reason I did that was because I want people to see how people vote.

You know, we had that bill up.

I think it's important to know because that's what's happened in the Senate.

You've got some

If not Democrat members of the Republican Party that they're trying to protect.

And it's all about leadership.

It's all about the suburban.

It's all about the posse.

It's all about, you know, having the front row seats at all the events and being introduced and having your butt kissed as soon as you walk in the door.

And that creates groupthink, and that weakens our country, and that is what we've got now.

Because to get in power in Washington, D.C., this may come as a surprise to you and some of your listeners, and I hope it does, but to get in power, you've got to do two things, and I don't do either one of them very well at all.

You have to kiss a lot of butt, and you've got to raise a ton of money for your party.

And they literally, literally have to...

They will literally issue you a bill at the beginning of the conference, and both parties do it.

They put it on a piece of paper, Glenn, and they give it to you, and the press is in on it.
