00:00:00.000
From Axios, AOC floats Trump impeachment over Iran's strikes, saying in a shocking
00:00:07.960
declaration, one of the most high profile progressives, they say considerable inter-party
00:00:13.960
scorn has been heaped on Reps Shri Tenedar and Al Green for floating impeachment.
00:00:19.660
Drive the news, quote, the president's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization
00:00:24.200
is a grave violation of the Constitution and congressional war powers.
00:00:27.840
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
00:00:33.500
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment more soon.
00:00:37.780
Now, surprisingly, liberals are stunned to find that they agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:00:43.960
And of course, Donald Trump has called out Thomas Massey in a long worded post on Truth
00:00:50.900
And I'll try and read this one quickly so we can get the reaction from Rhett Massey himself.
00:00:54.960
He says, Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he
00:01:00.180
Actually, MAGA doesn't want him, doesn't know him, doesn't respect him.
00:01:02.720
He's a negative force who almost always votes no, no matter how good something may be.
00:01:06.040
He's a simple-minded grandstander who thinks it's good politics for Iran to have the highest
00:01:09.080
level of nuclear weapon, while at the same time yelling death to America at every chance
00:01:13.220
Iran has killed and maimed thousands of Americans and even took over the American embassy in
00:01:18.080
With a spectacular military success yesterday, taking the bomb right out from their hands.
00:01:23.380
But as usual, and despite all the praise and accolades received, this lightweight congressman
00:01:27.380
is against what was so brilliantly achieved last night in Iran.
00:01:30.600
Massey is weak, ineffective, and votes no on virtually everything put before him.
00:01:36.260
No matter how good something may be, he is disrespectful to our great military and all that they stand
00:01:41.740
Not even acknowledging their brilliance and bravery in yesterday's attack, which was a total
00:01:46.900
Again, Massey should drop his fake act and start putting America first, but he doesn't
00:01:53.560
He'll undoubtedly vote against the great, big, beautiful bill, even though non-passage
00:01:57.580
means a 68% tax increase for everybody, and many things far worse than that.
00:02:02.200
MAGA should drop this pathetic loser, Tom Massey, like the plague.
00:02:05.700
The good news is that we will have a wonderful American patriot running against him in the Republican
00:02:08.900
primary, and I'll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard.
00:02:12.000
Now, MAGA is not about lazy, grandstanding, non-productive politicians, of which Thomas
00:02:18.640
Thank you to our incredible military for the amazing job they did last night.
00:02:25.820
Well, to address this directly, we are going to be joined by Rep.
00:02:30.620
Massey himself, and I think his perspective on this is particularly important right now.
00:02:50.540
The president just truthed a very long post about you.
00:02:55.360
Before we address that directly, I'm curious if you want to lay out your thoughts on the
00:02:59.360
Iranian strike carried out by the Trump administration.
00:03:06.960
When we did the first Iraq war, they came to Congress.
00:03:14.200
I remember listening to the debate about whether to go to war in Iraq.
00:03:17.900
And the Congress gave the president at the time an AUMF, and then they did the same thing
00:03:25.860
They did the same thing for the second Iraq war.
00:03:28.640
Now, I was here in 2013 when Obama wanted to go to war in Syria, and he said, I'm going
00:03:39.240
And they pulled the vote because they didn't want to embarrass the president.
00:03:42.740
There weren't enough votes to go to war in Syria.
00:03:44.700
So I wish the president had done the same thing here, anticipating that he might strike
00:03:54.860
Ro Khanna and I introduced a war powers resolution to require Congress to vote on it.
00:04:00.820
And we may get a vote on that as early as July 14th.
00:04:04.940
Do you believe, as AOC has stated, this is impeachment worthy?
00:04:20.720
I'm part of a coalition that I want to keep together.
00:04:23.840
It's a coalition inside of the Republican Party, who I would include J.D. Vance and Tulsi
00:04:29.940
Gabbard in it, frankly, who joined in support of this president because we didn't want another
00:04:39.220
And so to to go off about impeachment does no good whatsoever in this circumstance.
00:04:46.580
We have tools available to us to rein this back in here in Congress.
00:05:02.800
And the three bomb sites to stop Iran may turn into the 2025 version of 14 days to slow the
00:05:15.360
You know, you just don't know where it's going to go next.
00:05:22.080
And it doesn't look like the regime is being toppled by the people at the moment.
00:05:28.240
So here's my question to the president or to his advisers.
00:05:33.640
Let's say the missile defense runs out in Israel.
00:05:37.020
They run out of anti-missile defense munitions.
00:05:42.740
And Tel Aviv starts getting pummeled with the president in that circumstance, try to engage
00:05:53.020
You know, that's a that's a tough question, I think.
00:05:55.400
What if they shut down the Strait of Hormuz and raise the price of oil?
00:06:07.720
And what if this regime just says it just goes underground and instead of allowing weapons
00:06:14.400
inspectors into their program, just says we're going to do a completely secret program like
00:06:19.020
North Korea and you'll have no idea how far along we are.
00:06:22.480
Or what if they go buy weapons from from Russia or North Korea?
00:06:27.580
But we shouldn't be a co-combatant in a hot war.
00:06:31.120
To say this is not an act of war is actually very laughable.
00:06:48.560
And look, as much as I can respect, you know, J.D. Vance had been opposed to this from from
00:07:00.740
And you can try and claim, you know, obviously, in my opinion, that we are not at war.
00:07:05.700
But I think, as you mentioned, Iran's going to say, yes, we are.
00:07:08.740
So in that regard, you tweeted out this was not constitutional.
00:07:12.480
Can you explain why this is not constitutional?
00:07:17.680
And, you know, authorizing the president to wage war, not the act of waging war, but the
00:07:32.900
You know, I've heard arguments that say, well, you'd lose the element surprise if you go
00:07:40.040
And yeah, I've got some colleagues who are absolute bozos.
00:07:43.280
I mean, they bring their purses into the briefings with their phones in them.
00:07:49.360
And everybody looks at them like, all right, what are you doing?
00:07:52.900
And then they try to act like there's not a phone in their purse and it's ringing.
00:07:56.580
In any case, you can't brief Congress on everything.
00:08:01.520
More and more Canadians are listening to podcasts and music streaming.
00:08:05.400
We'd like to know more about you, what you like to listen to and why, so we can help make

Just fill out our brief survey and, as a thank you, we'll enter you to win one of three $100

00:08:54.920
But the element of surprise can still be there, just like it was in both Iraq wars and the
00:09:01.520
Afghanistan war, and they could be briefing us.
00:09:04.700
And by the way, talk about another inconsistency here.
00:09:10.380
He said, hey, there was an imminent threat to America, and so the president had to act.
00:09:19.460
By the way, I submitted my war powers resolution while we were on recess.
00:09:25.940
They do something called a pro forma session every three days where the House is open for
00:09:30.340
like five minutes, and you can jump in there and introduce legislation during those five
00:09:36.760
And that's when I put the war powers resolution in the hopper.
00:09:39.560
But what really should have happened is Mike Johnson should have called all of us back,
00:09:45.300
receiving briefings and talking about what the next step should be.
00:09:52.020
It's so it's a privileged resolution, which means unless Speaker Johnson does something
00:09:59.080
really funky and he could do some really funky things with the Rules Committee, unless he does
00:10:05.020
something really funky, the law requires him to bring up our resolution and have a vote
00:10:10.020
on whether this president is authorized to stay engaged in hostilities.
00:10:15.400
If my resolution succeeded, it would keep the president from going any further.
00:10:21.400
So basically, it wouldn't it wouldn't be a bad thing if he says he did three strikes and
00:10:27.300
Why not be in favor of my resolution or at least agnostic to it?
00:10:32.620
Because it just says you have to withdraw from hostilities.
00:10:36.300
It doesn't it it doesn't, you know, impeach him or anything for some or even incriminate
00:10:44.580
And by the way, Tim, I hear people saying, oh, well, the Congress, you know, the president
00:10:51.840
And they cite the War Powers Act, the very legislation that I'm using to bring this bill
00:10:57.440
Well, there is a situation in which the president doesn't need to come to Congress.
00:11:04.780
It says if there's an imminent threat to America.
00:11:08.360
Now, there was no such imminent threat to America.
00:11:11.320
The reason they put that in there is they anticipated situations where they couldn't get Congress
00:11:15.920
assembled in time to respond to something or something was a kinetic situation that need
00:11:22.280
But even in that circumstance, Tim, guess what?
00:11:26.240
The War Powers Act requires within 60 days, the president stop all hostilities and come
00:11:42.380
And even if it's not the the the process that I think could get me to the floor by July 14th,
00:11:51.160
But is there any do you have any real fear of Iran getting access to a nuclear weapon,
00:11:57.640
be it just a warhead to launch a missile or even dirty bombs and smaller, more disastrous
00:12:06.140
Well, I mean, presumably they can buy one from North Korea or from one of the there's probably
00:12:14.060
some floating around from where the Soviet Union dissolved.
00:12:16.880
And maybe with enough money, you could pick one of those up on the black market.
00:12:21.280
I don't know how they would get one at this point.
00:12:24.460
But I am concerned that American troops and America in general is under a greater threat.
00:12:31.800
Iran doesn't have a ballistic missile that can reach the United States.
00:12:39.520
They can reach parts of Europe, parts of Eastern Africa, Russia, India, Pakistan.
00:12:47.200
I'm not worried about a direct attack, if you will, from missiles.
00:12:50.620
But they could obviously hit one of our assets in the Middle East.
00:12:54.280
There's a report that Russia, a former president of Russia, said other nations are already lining
00:13:01.460
up to sell nuclear weapons or the means to make them to Iran because of this attack.
00:13:06.220
And there are some rumors that Iran may have met with Pakistan.
00:13:11.440
So it seems like additionally, Telegraph, as well as The New York Times have reported,
00:13:16.640
following the strike, the U.S. is not sure where the fissile material went.
00:13:20.360
Some 400 kilograms of enriched uranium was smuggled out days before the strike.
00:13:28.420
If Trump comes to Congress and says, here's the satellite imagery, they're dispersing weapons
00:13:41.020
Well, first of all, let me say this, and this should be obvious to everybody.
00:13:49.200
But is our policy going to be, over the next five or 10 years, we're going to bomb anybody
00:13:54.960
that has access or has acquired a nuclear or could acquire a nuclear weapon?
00:14:00.700
I'm concerned about artificial intelligence five years from now, where you put in the prompt,
00:14:06.040
hey, how can I make a nuclear weapon 10 times as quickly as it's been done in the past with
00:14:13.020
only these resources which are inside of my country?
00:14:15.960
Does that mean we're going to bomb everybody that has an AI that's smart enough to do that?
00:14:25.300
I think we should bolster our own missile defense.
00:14:29.020
We've watched some lessons there, I think, in Israel.
00:14:33.280
Hopefully we've learned from that and our missile defense is better now than it was.
00:14:39.220
But I suspect ours isn't good enough and could be overwhelmed at some point with enough missiles.
00:14:44.500
And so we should be working on defensive strategies instead of just pretending we can blow up everybody
00:14:50.440
and every project that's a danger to the United States anywhere on the globe anytime we want.
00:14:55.640
So Trump put out this very long Truth Social post.
00:15:03.920
And it's going to be working very, very hard to see that you lose your next election.
00:15:15.360
I know he went to Wharton, but I bet he never wrote a paper that long when he was at Wharton.
00:15:23.100
But it's amazing that the president of the United States, the guy who launched seven B-2 bombers
00:15:31.020
to the other side of the planet to bomb targets over there and return them,
00:15:37.000
he got up and spent 15 minutes writing a tweet about a Republican, not a Democrat, a Republican
00:15:50.100
And I just said, you know, President Trump's declared so much war on me in the last day that
00:15:56.200
it should require an act of Congress at this point.
00:15:58.900
Oh, with Rand Paul, even, and the big, beautiful bill, I know that you were both opponents of it
00:16:08.300
I know you agree with some of it, you disagree with some of it, you want changes.
00:16:15.600
Is it because he doesn't feel like he can, you're not going to convince a Democrat?
00:16:20.060
So any Republican who breaks from the party line is a threat?
00:16:24.820
Well, I think he's going after me in particular to keep other Republicans from breaking, whether
00:16:30.500
it's, you know, his support for Israel's war, or whether it's his, you know, zeal for the
00:16:38.120
deal on the big, beautiful bill that has lots of issues with it.
00:16:43.960
When he sees me say something that's absolutely true about it, notice that the president has
00:16:50.360
never refuted any of the things that I've said.
00:16:58.400
Surviving 100 million years, Mosquito shook off the plate tectonic breakup of Pangea,
00:17:04.720
the asteroid that eliminated the dinosaurs, and the Ice Age.
00:17:09.040
But Lisa shopped on Amazon and bought a can of repellent, a cute long-sleeved shirt,
00:17:28.220
And, you know, that just shows you that he's coming after me to show the other Republicans
00:17:34.720
in Congress, hey, that horse got out of the barn, and we're whipping that horse as hard
00:17:44.440
And I've had interactions with President Trump going all the way back to 2020.
00:17:53.100
What he does know is I'm not changing my mind on this stuff.
00:17:58.560
Rand Paul said that he knows he's going to get a call from the president.
00:18:04.020
And, you know, Rand's going to say, here's what we need to make happen for the Big Beautiful
00:18:07.340
But Rand did say that if it came down to it and he was the deciding vote, he would vote
00:18:16.260
And in fact, I would love to have that opportunity, because you know what happens if we take down
00:18:22.900
We write a better, more beautiful bill that doesn't have the warts and canker sores that
00:18:30.660
this bill has, one that doesn't bankrupt the country.
00:18:37.460
Negotiations don't start until one side says no.
00:18:40.620
And the reason the blue state Republicans got what they wanted in the House version of
00:18:47.620
the bill and the Freedom Caucus did not is the Freedom Caucus wasn't willing to vote no.
00:18:54.000
They weren't willing to go against what they presumed President Trump wants.
00:18:58.920
But those blue state Republicans were willing to go no.
00:19:03.780
Now, the Senate says they're taking that blue state giveaway that would, you know, enrich
00:19:11.040
actually sanctuary cities and states like California and New York.
00:19:18.880
So that'll set up an interesting dynamic when this bill comes back to the House.
00:19:22.800
That was the SALT, the state and local tax deductions?
00:19:27.060
It means if you live in a sanctuary city that has super high real estate taxes and you're
00:19:34.320
affluent and you itemize your taxes, that you don't have to pay as much tax as somebody
00:19:40.920
who lives in Kentucky and has the same income but has lower property taxes.
00:19:51.700
Is that coming up for a vote in a couple weeks?
00:19:54.480
Well, they're going to play brinksmanship with it.
00:19:59.780
The Senate is, you know, they're taking their sweet time and they have every right to be
00:20:04.400
deliberative and go through this bill one by one.
00:20:09.380
I don't know if they can make it better enough that I would vote for it.
00:20:15.460
I'm not an absolute no on something I haven't read.
00:20:18.580
And it seems like they are making it a little bit better.
00:20:20.900
So when they send it back over, that could be something that I vote for.
00:20:24.700
But they're going to play brinksmanship with it.
00:20:27.360
Here in the House, we had just a few hours to read the big, beautiful bill before it passed.
00:20:34.180
And I think they're going to do the same thing.
00:20:36.880
But they're going to use the pressure of the debt limit expiring and having a default on
00:20:45.180
And they're going to try to use that pressure sometime in July when all that expires.
00:20:49.000
So I think they've picked a deadline and they're really just wasting time until we
00:20:53.340
get to that deadline so they can use that crisis to motivate even more votes for that
00:20:58.660
Well, Trump says in that post that tax is going to go up by 68 percent.
00:21:02.480
You know, there's a lot of Americans who see that short term tax relief, no tax on tips.
00:21:09.400
They love the the short and the hearing protection act in there.
00:21:12.400
What what what the issue of the deficit deficit spending and the debt is a bit more foreign
00:21:21.020
I don't understand how it's going to negatively impact them.
00:21:23.160
So what what is your concern with with those issues?
00:21:26.360
Well, first of all, I'm the chairman of the Second Amendment Caucus here in the House
00:21:30.360
I couldn't be more excited that there won't be a tax on suppressors.
00:21:48.500
Tell them you want that in the bill and you'll and you'll vote on it.
00:21:52.560
So, yeah, maybe we can get even sweeter here with that, with the gun provisions.
00:21:58.160
And also as far as extending the the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, that wouldn't be a
00:22:09.100
OK, but there's a reason all of those tax cuts expire this year, and that's because they
00:22:14.360
couldn't make the budget balance and keep those tax cuts going on forever.
00:22:18.100
So they set up a situation in 2025 where they knew this would be an issue.
00:22:24.520
Guess what they're doing inside of this bill again?
00:22:26.980
They're going to extend the Tax Cut and Jobs Act for 10 years.
00:22:30.360
But the no tax on tips, the tax break for seniors and the no tax on overtime is only going to
00:22:38.440
And conveniently, that means when it when it all expires, Trump's not going to be president.
00:22:45.180
There will have been two Senate elections and two House elections between now and then.
00:22:51.740
And the people who inherit this are going to call those expiring provisions a fiscal cliff.
00:23:01.500
There are also what will expire is there's $100 billion more of military spending in this
00:23:09.440
And so when that expires, they're going to say, oh, my gosh, you're going to decimate
00:23:18.020
And so those savings, the way they get these 10 year budgets to balance is they spend like
00:23:25.040
They give everybody all the goodies they want the first five years.
00:23:27.800
And then in the second five years, they take the goodies away and they and they keep a lot
00:23:37.920
I want to go back to to Iran, because there are a lot of people when Donald Trump was running
00:23:43.140
for his reelection, they said Trump is the no new wars president.
00:23:52.040
I'm not going to go so crazy and say Trump should be impeached like AOC or anything like
00:23:57.080
But there are a lot of people that are just immediately on board, many prominent personalities.
00:24:00.600
I'm curious your thoughts on on that phenomenon, where many people who touted this no new wars
00:24:18.900
He and I had, you know, private meetings over over a building near here about how to wind
00:24:27.680
Senator Tulsi Gabbard and I had a lot of conversations on the floor of the House about how we didn't
00:24:32.840
need to be at war in Syria and we shouldn't be doing the covert operations that were going
00:24:42.360
They cannot be as vocal now in the jobs they have as I think they would be otherwise.
00:24:48.420
Marjorie Taylor Greene is she's staying true to the course here on the MAGA promise of no
00:24:59.560
It's a lot of us are getting whiplash, though, because the president has changed course.
00:25:05.260
I think even some of his advisers and spokespeople, they go out one day and say this isn't about
00:25:11.580
And then the next day he blows all that up with a tweet.
00:25:17.240
He put out that truth post saying regime change.
00:25:24.060
He's saying internally they should remove their their government, not U.S.
00:25:36.500
You take out a government, the country collapses and it devolves into anarchy and civil war.
00:25:42.500
And you've got all these adversarial ethnic groups inside of Iran, similar to Iraq, and
00:26:00.540
And somebody has to step in and restore some kind of semblance of structure in the meantime.
00:26:09.180
And that's just that's where you get bogged down.
00:26:22.280
Guess where the biggest embassy in the world, not just the biggest U.S. embassy, the biggest
00:26:35.260
OK, like we're going to end up building a giant if we if there's like regime change in
00:26:41.960
Iran, we'll probably build, you know, a Taj Mahal embassy in Iran.
00:26:47.560
And then, you know, nobody wants to see on the evening news pictures of the embassy being
00:26:57.740
These are like anchors that keep us there forever.
00:27:02.180
That's if the the people who've been in charge in the deep state, you know, in the part of
00:27:08.860
the government that doesn't change when you have elections, if they have their way, we'll
00:27:14.640
And the military industrial complex is, you know, they're just going to be giddy that
00:27:23.420
Um, you know, J.D. Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, they don't want war.
00:27:27.540
Uh, I mean, even J.D. Vance was critical of hitting the Houthis.
00:27:31.500
Is this you know, Donald Trump has been saying for decades, Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.
00:27:37.060
Is this strike now a product of Donald Trump adamantly refusing the advice of those around
00:27:43.420
Or is the deep state saying you got to do this?
00:27:50.400
I think it's Israel, the lobbyists from Israel.
00:27:55.020
Um, I think it's the military industrial complex.
00:27:58.800
He may think in some way this helps the economy.
00:28:02.100
This also, you know, it may help his popularity rating.
00:28:06.880
Frankly, it's unpopular to be against a president who's at war.
00:28:11.640
Yeah, the founders knew this, and that's why they didn't want the executive to have
00:28:16.380
the, uh, authority to declare a war because, you know, the laurels go to the, to the commander
00:28:25.360
So I'd say there are a lot of different reasons for it.
00:28:29.420
Uh, I, you know, I don't want to say he's insincere.
00:28:32.520
He probably does want to take out any nuclear capability of Iran.
00:28:36.940
It's just not clear that we're going to be able to do that and that we're not on a treadmill
00:28:41.040
now where every year you have to bomb something based on some report from some foreign government's
00:28:51.340
I think we might start seeing articles pop up saying Trump has never been more presidential.
00:28:55.460
Their ratings are going to skyrocket from this.
00:29:00.900
All of the media who hates Trump is going to like him for this.
00:29:04.360
The, the Bushes and the Cheneys who have Trump derangement syndrome, he's like their favorite
00:29:14.100
Uh, you've, I, there are people who, by the way, Liz Cheney max donated to my primary
00:29:20.380
Uh, and, and now she's the happiest can be with Donald Trump.
00:29:26.600
And if I could, before we run out of time, I do want to say something about my next primary
00:29:32.680
But so I've been, you can't run to the right of me in Kentucky.
00:29:40.480
So for three primaries in a row, people have tried running to the Trump of me.
00:29:46.900
But the reality is when you dig down into it, I'm the original America first congressman.
00:29:51.920
That has always been my platform, even when it costs me in popularity.
00:29:56.800
And so over 12 years, I've developed that understanding with, with my constituents.
00:30:02.940
And so I think it's going to be hard to come at me from the right, but the president now
00:30:07.440
hit the, the cronies that are around him, the leeches that make money off of his political
00:30:13.940
They say they're starting a super PAC now whose sole purpose is to take me out of office.
00:30:18.860
And then you have, um, APAC, which is the Israeli lobby spent $400,000 against me last cycle.
00:30:26.320
I would say a lot of the money that those leeches that are around Trump are going to use is probably
00:30:31.520
going to be Israeli lobby money because what American would waste their money trying to
00:30:42.680
I mean, I've never got less than 75% in any of my primaries.
00:30:46.160
I'm not saying that's going to be the case this time.
00:30:48.300
I'll probably have millions and millions of dollars spent against me.
00:30:51.220
They still haven't found a candidate yet who wants to try this.
00:30:54.580
And trust me, they're searching hard in my district.
00:30:56.800
Eventually they'll find some schmuck to, uh, be in the TV commercials who has no record
00:31:02.740
whatsoever and they'll try to make him out to be, you know, the next Ronald Reagan or
00:31:08.320
something, but I need money and I've been raising money every time the president attacks
00:31:14.240
me and trust me, I would prefer not to have the president attack me.
00:31:17.840
People are like, Oh, man, he's just doing this to raise money.
00:31:21.560
But once I get attacked, I have to raise money.
00:31:23.820
When Trump attacked me the first time this year, I raised almost 400,000.
00:31:29.060
The last time I raised 50,000 and in the last 24 hours, I've received a hundred thousand
00:31:38.120
I don't have campaign consultants that are doing a lot of work out there.
00:31:41.940
This is just people sending me money cause they know on exit I'm in trouble.
00:31:45.720
So, uh, I just wanted to point out that that's, that's how this works.
00:31:51.940
I'm just trying to stay in office so I can promote the true America first agenda.
00:31:59.060
Well, since I'm in my congressional office, I am not going to, uh, give out my, uh, campaign
00:32:07.760
Um, and people would love to catch me up on that one, but you can tell them after I get
00:32:19.760
So, uh, my official account is at rep Thomas Massey.
00:32:28.640
That's what I do to, to fight for the American people.
00:32:32.140
Well, uh, uh, representative Massey, I appreciate you joining me, explaining all of this.
00:32:39.180
That, of course, is representative Thomas Massey, who, uh, I think is the best, uh,
00:32:51.560
I think Trump attacking him is not the apocalypse.
00:32:55.020
I don't see him losing and I, I don't completely agree with him.
00:33:00.280
Rand said, if he's the deciding vote on the bill, he's going to vote for it.
00:33:03.240
I think it's the right thing to do, but there are a lot of people that want to rag on Massey
00:33:08.120
because Trump's ragging on Massey, but Massey does a good job.
00:33:14.660
And I hope that's what we get more of in Congress.
00:33:37.320
Um, I was thinking it would be great to get his perspective on these things as they were
00:33:40.880
So now we're going to get that raid for you guys and send you to hang out with,
00:33:44.660
Russell Brand, who is gearing up to go live right now.
00:33:51.360
You can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast.
00:33:58.900
And we had, uh, Senator Paul on, uh, last week.
00:34:25.080
He has done so many good things in his first term and a second term that I view it largely
00:34:35.220
Uh, I said the other day that I view this as, this, this, this brings his presidency into
00:34:42.200
I'm saying if this goes beyond the scope of what we expect it to be right now, we're in
00:34:49.300
As of right now, where we're at, we're, we're teetering on the line.
00:34:54.960
I'm just saying striking Iran could, could open the door to devastating price increases,
00:35:01.560
destabilization in the region, loss of human life.
00:35:05.840
American soldiers are at risk right now is such tremendous risks to this.
00:35:10.100
But I recognize, I don't know the real security ramifications of what happens if Iran is giving
00:35:20.860
No, prove it to me before we drop bombs in a foreign country without going to Congress.
00:35:29.000
I feel like we were misled, but we'll see my friends.
00:35:33.720
Smash that like button, share the show with everyone.
00:35:36.040
You know, as I said, you can go to timcast.com.
00:35:41.940
Explain to us why I'm right, why I'm wrong, whatever it is you think, and join the community.
00:35:47.080
Thank you all so much for hanging out, and we will see you all in the next segment.
