It’s doing things it has no business doing. It spends way too much money. It gets involved in way too many wars. It not only tells you what you can and can’t say—it actively censors you. And the things your government should do, it can’t, or won’t, do at all. It can’t keep your streets clean of crime and filth. It can’t keep your neighborhoods safe enough for kids to play outside. It can’t even prevent your country from being invaded by millions of illegal migrants. Why is that? Because your leaders no longer represent you. They represent themselves and their friends. On each episode of \"The Signal Sitdown,\" politics editor Bradley Devlin exposes how the sausage really gets made in Washington, D.C. with the help of guests who have experience on the inside. \"The Signal Sitdown\" takes you inside the biggest battles in Washington, D.C., as they happen. We’ll analyze the policymaking process from an unabashedly and unapologetically conservative perspective and together reclaim government from the self-serving elites. Fingers will be pointed. Names will be named.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-02T18:19:45.185196+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-signal-sitdown-7035152"},"episode":{"title":"GOP Congressman Exposes Practice That Makes Congress 'Crooked As a Dog's Leg' | Tim Burchett","slug":"gop-congressman-exposes-practice-that-makes-congress-crooked-as-a-dog-s-leg-tim-burchett","published_at":"2025-12-11T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-signal-sitdown-7035152/gop-congressman-exposes-practice-that-makes-congress-crooked-as-a-dog-s-leg-tim-burchett","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-signal-sitdown-7035152","url":"https://www.dailysignal.com/","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/THEDAILYSIGNAL5760995163.mp3?updated=1778534759","summary":"The worst thing that has ever happened to the Capitol Building? “Air conditioning,” says Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn. Burchett joined ”The Signal Sitdown” at the Republican Study Committee's new media row to discuss how a group he calls the “war pimps” came to dominate Washington—and what he’s doing to try to stop them. Installing air conditioning in the Capitol, Burchett said, gave members of Congress the wrong impression: “These guys think they need to be year round,” he said, “I do more work when I'm at home, brother. This is a show up here.” Burchett explained that “a war pimp is somebody who profits off war and or that enjoys war because it furthers their career.” And this advancement is not only political, but financial. “Congress is infinitely broken and we are crooked as a dog's leg.” Subscribe to The Tony Kinnett Cast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tony-kinnett-cast/id1714879044 Don't forget our other shows: Virginia Allen's Problematic Women: https://www.dailysignal.com/problematic-women Bradley Devlin's The Signal Sitdown: https://www.dailysignal.com/the-signal-sitdown Follow The Daily Signal: X: https://x.com/DailySignal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/ Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DailySignal Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheDailySignal Thanks for making The Daily Signal Podcast your trusted source for the day’s top news.
