Chief of staff to Congressman Barry Loudermilk and now a candidate for Loudermilk's open Georgia congressional seat, Rob Adkerson sits down with Jenny Beth Martin to explain why a 3:12 AM moment in a Washington hotel room rewrote his entire plan, and what 11 and a half years inside the U.S. House taught him about why Washington really fails the American taxpayer. Rob walks through the investigation that disproved key parts of Cassidy Hutchinson's J6 testimony, the daycare and hospice fraud schemes that started as paragraphs in appropriations bills, the Merit Act bill that would stop the federal government from paying workers for two years after they're fired, and why he believes President Trump ending the 47-year Iran standoff will be the most consequential foreign policy moment of our lifetimes. Jenny Beth and Rob also dig into the Fair Tax, the talking filibuster, the national debt eclipsing 100 percent of GDP, and why every younger American needs to understand what communism actually is. This is grassroots conservative oversight in plain English, from a chief of staff who lived it. Visit teapartypatriots.org and jennybethshow.com for more.
