Not just the headlines, but the big moments, the everyday decisions also that start to feel like they carry a little more weight. You know what I'm saying?

Hello America. I'm trying really super hard not to be totally black pilled today. Super hard. I'm not sure I'm going to make it all the way through the show or even 10 minutes into the show without losing my ever loving mind because there's some breaking news that it's not going to be news to you. We knew it. We knew it. We've known it for years. But is anything going to happen? Probably not. Probably not. And then we have The Swalwell thing, that is. Hate to say it that way. The Swalwell thing, that takes on whole new connotation now. But I have an open letter to Congressman Swalwell. And, you know, I think it's a lesson for all of us, but lesson for a lot of people in Congress. Universal principles. They're universal for a reason, because you can't change them no matter how hard you try. You just can't change Universal principles. They're true, and they'll come and they'll bite you in the ass. And we're going to start there here in just a second. First, let me tell you about rush tax resolution. If you get a notice from the irs, there's a very natural reaction people have. Usually it's vomiting, and then it's, I'll sit out, you know, I'll deal with this later. And then that turns into next week and next month, and before, you know, the problem hasn't gone away, it's only worse. And then that leads to more vomiting because the IRS doesn't forget. And they have the power to levy wages in your bank account and revoke your passport. And if you're a business owner, they'll shut you down and they'll come after you personally because, oh, the one thing that will be universally true forever is the government will punish you if you do wrong. We all know this. Call tax resolution, Rush tax resolution, because problems like these are nothing new to them. They'll help you solve it. They'll help you actually work out a way where the penalties and all the interests and everything else is manageable. So go to Tax Res. Rush tax resolution. Rush. Taxresolution.com rushtaxresolution.com or call 8775-5478-7487-7554. Rush. All right. May I start with an open letter to Congressman Swalwell? Congressman. Can I still call him that? What time is it? No, he's still. Congressman, I'd like to speak to you today about due process. Due process. It's a crazy idea, and here's what it is. That no one, no matter how powerful, how prominent, how despised, how despicable, can be stripped of their reputation, their livelihood, or their. Their liberty without evidence, investigation, and a fair opportunity to defend themselves. Well, that's a cute, outdated idea, isn't it? It's a shield that protects the innocent from the mob and the mechanism that ensures the guilty are held accountable, but only after the facts are examined in the light of day. With a court of law, due Process, Due process. Again, a quaint little idea. It's. It's not a favor that we grant our friends and reserve for those we like. It's a right extended even and especially to those who we find contemptible. You, I find contemptible. If we abandon this when the target is convenient, well, we've already surrendered it for everybody, including ourselves. So let me take you through a little history here. In 2018, during the confirmation hearings for Brent Kavanaugh, you, congressman, stood before the cameras and made your position unmistakably clear. You warned against what you called the demeaning of victims of sexual assault, insisting that people deserve to be heard and their allegations deserve to be investigated. Okay, all right. I think that's probably pretty good. I think people should be heard in a court of law. But you went further. You suggested that if Kavanaugh were innocent, he should. We should bring in all of the victims, all of them to be questioned, because that would just clear his name. I was clever of you. You argued that multiple. Multiple accusations could not simply be dismissed when separate and independent claims begin to look the same. You said the arrows are all pointing in the same direction. And either the acts happened because of that, or the accused was simply the most unluckiest person in the world. Congressman, do you feel the same way today? Because now you have 50 women, 50 from your office, claiming the same thing. Wow. I mean, should we bring them all in? Should we question them publicly? Or is this time different? I mean, perhaps you are the single unluckiest person in the whole world at the time. You even pushed back on applying strict legal standards in public judgment, noting the testimony of a single witness can prove any fact. And you said at the time. And amplified the message, believe the survivors. So perhaps we just bring in one woman out of the 50 and let her speak publicly and believe her because she, as you pointed out, is a survivor. You see, you showed little to no patience for caution, little emphasis on presumption of innocence, little concern for due process in the court of public opinion. And what's truly sad is at the time, unlike today, you are not alone. But, boy, I bet you feel alone today. In the broader climate of the time, including accusations against Donald Trump, you shouted the same theme, that women, women should be heard. The claims should carry weight. The process should not be used to silence them. Where is me, too today? You still. Me, too, By the time you hear this monologue. Because I'm assuming you're not listening right now, Congressman. In fact, I should probably not call you congressman, but because the time you hear this, you won't be Congressman anymore. It seems as though the sword has turned. Multiple women have come forward accusing you of serious sexual misconduct. Investigations have begun. They're not going to go anywhere. Don't worry about it. It's just about wrecking your reputation. And the calls for your resignation came swiftly, didn't they? And now you're facing the same storm you help direct at others. Hmm? Now, is it. Is it that? Is it the fact that people like you, the objects you directed before, are being judged without due process? That's what you say. You object to it because you can't do that without due process. And within days of an allegation being made, suddenly due process to you, Eric, seems to matter. And isn't it weird and a bitter symmetry that is happening here? You once argued that accusations carried its own moral force, that patterns of claims pointed towards truth no matter what, and that the accused should open themselves fully to prove their innocence. Now, you ask for time. You ask for fairness. You ask for restraint. The very principles you minimalized are the ones you now invoke. Here's where, Eric. Here's where it becomes difficult for me and people like me because you have been such a destructive, dishonest, selfish, slimy, I could go on force that never seemed to care about anything other than your own personal agenda. Where was fairness? And so it's very hard for people like me, who actually believe in American principles to be consistent. But thankfully, I am not. You. Justice demands something really difficult. And so I am compelled to grant to you what you did not grant to others. Because due process is not conditional. The allegations against you, however serious, however numerous, remain allegations. And so I am not going to say this is what you've done. I could say, well, the arrows are all pointing the same way. But justice requires evidence. It requires investigation. It requires the opportunity to confront, claims and defend oneself. To deny this to you now would not correct a past wrong, although it would feel really good. It would simply repeat it. And it's weird, because at the same time, the consequences are already unfolding. You now, like those whose lives you destroyed and forever smeared, you may never actually get an actual trial, because nobody, in the end, really cares. Because you were protected by the same system that is now delivering this severe blow. Your career has taken this blow. Your ambitions have collapsed. Your reputation has been deeply damaged. And I believe that there's no one who deserves to feel that pain more than you. But, you know, isn't it interesting? The same machinery that you used to smear others and protected you. Because if this is true, if you have 50 women in your office and everybody knew it, everybody knew it. But you were convenient because you were leading the band. You were destroying the progressive enemies and so they protected you. And in that your arrogance grew and grew and grew and grew. You were untouchable. You were invincible. Until you become an inconvenience. And then Marxists and progressives do what they always do. Ends justify the means. You are expendable. It's really sad and tragic, but I hope today somebody learns a lesson. Eric here's the lesson. Eternal laws are eternal. Eternal laws. Laws that cannot be fooled or manipulated. Nor the judge bought off by political appointments because the judge himself is eternal. He set up these laws and they act no matter what you do, no matter what man says. And here's one of those. Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword. Or here's one even better. As you judge, so shall you be judged. That's why I cannot deny the eternal laws and principles. Nor can anyone like me, even though we would love to. You may think eternal principles don't apply to you, that they're old fashioned. But God and his simple truths are unchanging. And they apply to you as they apply to me. So if I. If I just condemn you today and don't give you the opportunity that you didn't give anyone else, then I'm using the same sword. And I shall die by that sword as well. The rules we make for our enemies will one day be used on us. Eric. The standards we abandoned in the moments of anger will not be there when we need them. Glenn. The process we erode for convenience will not protect us when the tide turns. Politicians. Due process is not weakness. It is not delay. It is not an obstacle to justice. It is justice. America. And those who discard it when it is inconvenient should not be surprised when they find themselves without it, when it matters most. More in a minute.

I, I started out in a good mood and I started looking at all the things that were going on and today, today might be a day that, you know, if I didn't have contracts, I would say I should probably sit it out and remain quiet, spend more time listening than speaking because today is a day. I mean, Russ Vote, I don't know if you know who Russ Vote is. Office of Budget Management. Really smart guy. He is responsible for so much of the good stuff that is happening in my opinion. And he's up at Capitol Hill today and I was talking to Ricky about it. I said, let's see, up for Capitol Hill, the budget. And she said, yeah, he's testifying in front of Congress. And I just lost it. I just lost. It was just what it was maybe the straw that broke the camel's back on this because I was like, what? What? Why? Why? He spent all the time writing the budget. He spent all the time crunching the numbers. He spent all this time doing everything he's required by law to do. And now he's going up to Capitol Hill and they're going to rake him over the coals and they're going to ask him all kinds of questions and you know what's going to happen to that budget? Nothing. Nothing, nothing. We haven't passed a budget since 2008. Why are we, why are we playing this circus every day? Oh, I gotta go up and answer questions about the budget. Pass the damn budget. You wanna ask questions? Then get the questions, get the answers, make a decision and pass the budget. I am so. I am so sick and tired of this circus. This bull crap circus. I'm sorry. I should be. I should not be on the air today because I am so black pilled today. This is not, this is just not the. This is not helpful. But I have to tell you, I have a feeling I'm not alone in this. I am so sick and tired. You and I work so hard. We work so hard. We pay our damn taxes. We pay our taxes. You know this thing with Vindman and you know all the stuff that has come out now about the impeachment that we told you was true, you knew was true. We had the evidence back when they were impeaching him. I did a six month investigation. I did the biggest chalkboard I've ever done in my life. We had all this information. They didn't care and they don't care now. But that cost us millions and millions and millions of dollars to do what? Something that we now know was completely unethical and illegal and Is anybody going to go to jail? Is anything going to really change? No, it's not going to change. Not going to change. And yet here you and I are working until April. Is it April or is it now May? Tax Tax freedom day from. You started working in January until April or May. Everything you've made, everything you've made is going to the irs. They just take it out over the whole year. But you're working the first few months of every year to pay your taxes. How many people are not paying their taxes? And then when you do pay your taxes, they're giving it away in fraud. They're spending money impeaching on complete bullcrap that we now know. And then they'll investigate, but nobody will actually go to jail. And then Swalwell. Swalwell's not the story. The story is the system that protected him. They've known for years. They've known for years. But let's switch and talk about aliens, shall we? That makes more sense. Let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust.com. there's a story in every house, you know, just not the one you know. You tell people the one that it actually is written into it. The kitchen where everybody gathers. The living room where life really happens. The little things that you know never show up in a listing but matter more than any square footage number will ever. It's not square footage when you decide to sell. Suddenly that story has to be told to somebody else and in the right way, in the right place and the right people. Because if you miss that, you get that part wrong. It doesn't matter how great the house is, it won't land. It's about understanding what you have, how to present it to somebody else so they can see their life happening in that same place. This is why I started Realestate Agents I Trust dot com. You don't need just a good agent. You need somebody who knows how to tell the story right and how to get the results. Check out realestate Agents I Trust dot com.

I wish I had two hours with Tim Burchette. He is the congressman from Tennessee. So many things to talk about. And this guy tends to just say things which I wildly appreciate because none of the stories that are in the news today are really about the story. I mean, this, this, this thing with Swalwell, it's not about him being a dirtbag. Everybody's known he's a dirtbag. Literally every 50 women in his office. 50 women. How does that happen? And nobody knows. And now the media is going out and patting themselves on the back saying, oh, yeah, look, we, this is good journalism. We, we found this out. Please, please, give it a rest. You. Because he became an inconvenience to the power structure, ends justify the means. They needed to get rid of him. So now he's an inconvenience. So go ahead, guys, get him. And that's what happened. And nobody, nobody's even questioning the power structure behind this. Nobody's even questioning how did he get away with this for so long. Because it's a game. It's a game and I'm tired of it. I know Congressman Burchette is tired of it as well. Congressman, how are you, sir, Congressman, are you there? He's now regretting coming on. He's like, oh, here we go.
