Secret America LIVE - Episode 75 - Interview w/ Eric Burlison - The Truth is out [20:33-25:43]

That's my first point. Because you may have never heard this. Because it's never never discussed in Congress. Number two, E verify would instantly solve that issue. The I nine form is a joke because they get around it with a Ford Social Security card. All they need to do is a driver's license. And in Missouri, you can walk in with the birth certificate from Guadalajara and get a driver's license. So why is E verify? I know it's come up before. Two questions. Talk to me about E verify in any legislation that you know about. Number two, is the idea that billions and billions have been withdrawn from fake cards and is in the treasury somehow? Is that ever discussed? Yeah. Okay. So to your first question, I'm pretty sure that there is. I'm pretty confident there is a bill on on instituting E verify. And I'm going to. I believe in my memory may be wrong here, but I think it's being sponsored by Andy Biggs. And so that is a bill. I don't know how. If it gets very far, it's clearly has not come up on the floor for a vote that I recall. It has before and it's well, maybe it's been proposed before. It's never come up for a vote or past. Let me put it that way. But anyway, go on. And I think some of the pushback is from employed. The like, you know, business community people that represent business. You don't want to have an extra burden, some kind of paperwork process. But at the end of the day, you have to your point. We have a lot of people that are defrauding the federal government. We have what was discovered during the doge efforts. Thank goodness for Elon Musk. But I mean, they went through the so scary system and found people that were 200 years old. Or people that have not been born yet. That were in the so scary system. Right. So you you had people with with. I think that there are some. There were thousands and thousands and thousands of people that were sharing the same social security number. Wow. So that. I mean, and what. And so what they said is that it's not necessarily that these people are getting these social security numbers to get social security. Right. It's that they use that not everything else that people do. Everything else you sign up for, whether it's TANF food stamps or Medicaid, you name it the free housing that was given away. Whether you're going to go to or just get a job. Yeah. All of that stems on us on a so so scary number. If it's in if it's easily faked, then you can easily get into these other programs. Once you've got that number, then you can you can get government money through TANF and. Absolutely. Absolutely right. And also vote. I mean, we don't know how many people have voted, you know, using these fake social security numbers. So I want to I want to ask you something that's again, it's going to kind of change topic a little bit for you. You said you've been in Congress for how long? This is my third year. Third year. Okay, so I just want to ask you see, we James and I have a theory about why Congress, you know, is so corrupt in certain areas. So I want to ask you, when it was your first year, when you were a freshman congressman, were you ever approached by, you know, like the senior congressman asked, you know, told you can't do this or, you know, you should. You know, watch out for this or, you know, any of that kind of stuff or maybe like a pack saying, you know, we'll give you money, but you better do what we say, things like that because that's our theory for a lot of the lot of the congressman out there. Now I'm not saying you did it because I know you're actually a very honest person. So I mean, come on. Yeah. No. Okay. So once you win the election, which, it's for me, it was pretty tough. I had, I Washington DC spent nearly $3 million in attack ads against me because they had seen my record in Missouri and knew that I was, you know, a straight shooter and was not exactly somebody that was just going to do everything that the speaker or the president of the Senate at that time wanted. And, you know, independent thinker and was willing to stand up to leadership. That's why I asked you that question because you are that person that would stand up and, you know, not do it. Yeah, and that is, you know, if you're Kevin McCarthy, you don't, you did, which he didn't want someone like me coming in. Right. There was money, and I'm not saying it was Kevin, but it was, you know, groups that were trying to protect Kevin's interest that spent nearly $3 million in the most vicious attack ads on me that you can imagine.
