What are these ads all about, John, outside of beating you?

Well, I got to tell you, the Democrats don't let a lie get in the way of the truth.

And my opponent, Tom Perriello, all he's got to do to win is lie about me.

That's what he thinks, and that's his strategy.

My strategy is all I got to do is tell the truth about him.

You probably remember when he was in the Congress, he said he was pro-life, pro-gun.

And then when he ran against Northam in the primary, he said he wasn't pro-life and he wasn't pro-gun.

This was a caliphate more than it is an economic maelstrom of Occupy Wall Streeters.

He just doesn't want the optics.

Oh, that's right.

In fact, he's had a couple of events where Democrat Socialists of America were at the event.

He's never denounced them.

He has to have their support.

They are overwhelmingly taking over the party.

And I believe this is true.

What is your take on what's happening?

Because every time I turn around, there are investments coming for the 5th District, especially when it comes to medical services, health services for rural parts of this district.

Yeah, well, we've worked with the White House and Governor Glenn Youngkin's office to help negotiate $20 billion investment back into our district.

But on a bigger picture, President Trump has negotiated this White House working with Congress to bring $22 trillion back into our country.

That's 7,000 high-paying jobs in my district.

And, you know, we're growing the economy.

It just takes a while to turn the ship around.

And I know President Trump, known for eight peace deals in eight months, is trying to get a peace deal in Ukraine, and he's trying to finish up the Strait of Hormuz.

Tom Perriello, of course, was a member of Congress for two years, and I'm just curious, if you wouldn't mind, John, remind everybody what it was that Mr. Perriello did as a congressman and what he has done slightly more recent times.

John, talk a little bit about what you have been able to do in the 5th District, because every time I turn around, there are investments coming for the 5th District, especially when it comes to medical services, health services for rural parts of this district.

John, thank you for being here.

Hey, thanks for having me, Jeff.

And 15 days to go, we got our foot on the gas, and it should be, it couldn't be more clear.

I mean, look at what's going on in Paris right now.

Those of suicidal empathy, I call it suicidal empathy, open borders, give everybody everything for free, leads to the downfall, destruction of Western civilization.

And I would tell voters, if Republicans show up, we will win.

But I think they're watching their craziness.

John, talk a little bit about what you have been able to do in the 5th District, because every time I turn around, there are investments coming for the 5th District, especially when it comes to medical services, health services for rural parts of this district.

John, go ahead.

If we used to have 250 refineries in the United States, now we have 130.

Closed down a bunch of them during the Biden administration.

So I did the research.

If we had those 250 refineries open today...

No matter what happens in the world, no matter what happens in the Middle East, we would have $2 a gallon fuel.

But we've weakened our ability to refine so much.

I mean, are, are, are you bringing this up? Or is this resonating? Because I've seen some, uh, some cartoons, some political cartoons about it, but I don't know if the people realize that, you know, shows like this could be in big trouble if these are the people who are endorsed by the people who hang political dissidents

dissidentsYeah, you know, I, I focus more about what I've done and what I'm going to do.

You know, in just 18, 19 months working with President Trump and Governor Glenn Youngkin, we've helped negotiate $20 billion investment back into the district.

That's 7,000 good paying jobs.

And one particular company was gonna take his, uh, factory to, uh, South Carolina.

And I said, um, "Hey, I know you're going to South Carolina, but I sure would love to meet with you in my congressional office." And after about hour and 20 minutes, and I'm sure, I know that the White House, and I know Youngkin had, you know, was certainly a big part of it, he said, "I changed my mind.

I'm coming to your district." And I knew about it for eight months, and I couldn't tell anybody 'cause that's how it goes.

The, these aren't the people who just want to go to work and open their shops, John.

different idea, they had a public hang-in.

These are the folks that say that if we get a nuclear weapon, we're going to use it.

And in one of my armed services subcommittees, I asked the Secretary of War, Pete Hexeth, I said if they were to use a dirty bomb or a nuclear bomb for U.S. soil, Paris, or London, would it kill 100 people? Would it kill 1,000 people or would it kill a million people? And he said, more like a million people.

So I think the world is safer.

Let's talk about the United States.

You remember during the Biden administration, 15 to 20 million people just crossed our border illegally.

And I don't want to misquote Marco Rubio, but he said that if you work 40 years, you do everything right, and you retire, and you get Social Security, you might get $800 a month.

leave that out.

Is there any evidence that that's working?

Well, I think it is.

I sent a letter to President Trump this morning talking about infrastructure in the United States.

I talked to Secretary Burgum, and he says that United States is producing more crude oil today than ever, but even more than Saudi Arabia, more than Russia.

But even if you tripled our crude oil production, we couldn't lower fuel prices because during the Biden administration with those Green New Deal policies, he calls it the Green New Scam.

That's what President Trump calls it.

We shut down refineries all over the country, especially California.

What's your take on that, especially in light of the vote that took place in the House this week over the War Powers Act?

Tell us what that's like, because this is the first time they've ever held one of these.

You know, well, the Democrats, they won't have a convention like this because they're running away from their record.

In fact, just like Spanberger, they're trying to run on our record.

But it's not going to work.

You know, if they get control, they're going to open the borders, put dangerous criminals back on the street and put boys back, girls sports and all this other stupid stuff.

And so we're basically, this convention is to get the troops rallied up, fired up to row in the same direction.

And we're going to tout our wins.

Talk about this act and what it does.

Good morning, Cassie.

Hey, good morning, everybody.

I'm chomping at the bit to win this primary today so we can go take out those communists.

John, I heard what you said about New York, and it's right.

I mean, I was talking to President Trump.

I said, you know, we've got to pass this American Dream Act because young people are starting to like socialism.

And I said, it's kind of hard to be a socialist if you own property.

When you're talking to constituents, what are they saying, John? What is on their mind front and foremost?

But Congressman, have you heard this? I mean, right in the district that you represent, somebody could be selling marijuana to school kids in high

school.

Yeah, I tell you what.

And they can't do anything about it.

Well, my friend Tim Anderson, he's really good at what he does.

He's very articulate on this issue.

It's just everything they do is nonsensical.

Explain what that is, John, and how it works.

You know, are you seeing this effect, Congressman?

Definitely.

You know, President Trump is not only making America great again, he's making the world great again.

And, um, the, the, the energy, the, you know, and what he did in Venezuela.

You know, perfect example of why socialism sucks is Venezuela.

When I was a Navy SEAL doing counter-drug missions, every country, South Central America, the one country we thought was clean, safe, and as Trump would say, was beautiful, was Venezuela.

You would go to a restaurant and there would be Ferraris and Lamborghinis out front.

Like, what the hell is going on in Virginia, Congressman?

Sir, great to have you on the show.

show.Hey, it's an honor to be on your show, John.

Thank you very much.

You know, some people risk their time, some people risk their money, but our men and women in our military oftentimes risk their life or give their life for our freedom.

And so the first thing I'd like to say is that, you know, we mourn our fallen, and we're praying for their families.

Uh, but we, uh, the world is in a dangerous place.

And, um, you know, Iran for forty-seven years, people have gotten used to the terror.

Is there a growing, uh, sentiment in Congress that pulling the, uh, some of these tax benefits back from nonprofit groups that are harming America, not helping America, would be a good thing?
