Why Thomas Massie Lost Kentucky Election

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:01]Hey everyone, it's Ashen at Streaming Truth. Uh, welcome to the channel. We are live and I was not planning to do another stream today, but right before my last stream last night on Vice President JD Vance's uh press conference on Iran.

[00:00:21]Sorry, let me turn off that feedback.

[00:00:23]Okay. So, right before that, the news broke that Thomas Massie had a big upset and lost the election in the Kentucky primary. So, that was uh just huge news.

[00:00:34]You know, I've been following a little bit uh Thomas Massie and his opposition to the Iran war. is, you know, whenever there's uh news relevant to the war in Iran and to other things of interest, like, you know, anything to do with the MAGA movement or just things that intersect with the Bible and Christianity in general, I I like to cover these things. So, today I want to go over the Thomas Massie uh inner uh his concession speech that he had last night. Uh so we're going to look at that and we I also want to look at things like uh the fact that 79% of donors of Thomas Massie donors had given money at some point to their life to Democrat uh candidates or even act blue. Now, that doesn't mean that some of them didn't become conservative later and so we, you know, but we don't want to be dishonest about those stats, but a large portion of his donors were Democrats. I also want to talk about things like Apac, which is uh Thomas Massiey's criticism of the pro-Israel uh lobby that we have here in the USA, his anti-war stance, and even something that you might you might not be aware of, the dark money that Thomas Massie received to the tune of approximately $6.5 million from Kentucky Fourth Pack. Uh dark money is simply money that has been undisclosed. We don't know where that money is coming from or who donated it to him. Assumingly, it'll be, you know, that information will be released maybe at the next quarter filings in the next few months. But he did, you know, despite his criticism of Apac, of President Trump and calling the United States, you know, uh, elections, uh, he's saying that it's being being controlled by the Israel lobby and all of that. Well, despite that, like I said, he himself has received dark money to the tune of $6.5 million from the Kentucky Fourth Pack. You can look that up. But let's just get to real quick the election results here. And uh you can see that Thomas Massie did win by a pretty strong margin, 54.9% to 45 uh.1%.

[00:03:02]And Ed Golra is now the next senator from Kentucky. So, uh, this is a huge news. And Ed Grain himself, who who's Ed Golra? Well, he is a former he's a bas not even a former, he's a career Navy Seal, an Army Ranger, a combat veteran, and he is hardcore pro MAGA. So, uh, let's take a look at the actual Give me one minute. I want to go to the actual video here.

[00:03:39]This is Let me Let me go back to it. Sorry, guys.

[00:03:46]This is >> All right, let's let's just rewind a little bit here. And I want to play last night's stream. And I I haven't I've seen portions of it, but not the whole thing. So, what we're going to do is I'm just going to react to it as we watch.

[00:04:03]And if anything is worthy of comment or something that I can add to it, I certainly will. I'll bring some of my thoughts into this. I myself, just for, you know, for uh transparency, I am full MAGA. I'm coming from a very MAGA perspective. I understand of course that there is a a divide between the classic libertarians or not even classic I wouldn't call Thomas Massie necessarily a classic libertarian maybe a neol libertarian. Uh the libertarians I don't think were quite this black and white when it came to standing on their principles and ideals. And so I actually see Thomas Massie as somewhat of an ideologue uh which doesn't usually work in politics because politics is pretty much about compromise uh in many ways while attempting to attain to our ideals. So there's a big question of pragmatism uh that that I I find lacking within the libertarian party. I've got many good friends who are, you know, strict libertarians.

[00:05:10]Um, and I understand that position. I think it's important to have both of these voices in our nation. Uh, you know, we don't want to become monolithic as a party, uh, like the Democratic, you know, hive mind that we see on the left or on the on the liberal side. But let's take a look. Let's just let's dive into it and then I'll stop it where it's relevant. I might forward through a couple of like the introductions and things like that. And it there's also going to be uh the victory speech at the very end of this from his opponent uh Ed Grain. So without further ado, let's go ahead and begin.

[00:05:59]passing obviously the crowd is very welcome.

[00:06:20]>> All right, >> listen.

[00:06:26]I would I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede and it took a while to find Ed Galrine in Tel Aviv.

[00:06:34]>> Okay, so he comes out swinging and a pretty snarky comment there saying that he was busy. I guess he might have been a little late to the concession speech and he was saying he was busy uh trying to reach out to Ed Golra to concede but he was busy because he was he it took time to reach Tel Aviv. So all right.

[00:06:55]So, we get that. Uh, let me go back to it here and we'll continue. He just comes out kind of snarky. Of course, this plays into the whole anti-Israel stance that Thomas Massie has amassed.

[00:07:09]And if it's not, you know, the libertarians might say it's not that he's anti-Israel, he's he just wants to focus only on America. But we'll get to that in a little bit and the criticisms over Apac money and also the dark money from the Kentucky Fourth.

[00:07:30]I did get the call though. I have I have called and conceded the race. Um we've been honorable the whole time and we're going to stay that way.

[00:07:41]>> You know, welcome to the most expensive congressional primary ever in the 250 year history of this country. It's not just the most expensive. This thing went on longer than Vietnam.

[00:07:52]It started nine months ago and this they didn't even have a candidate and they decided they wanted to take me out. Uh I want to start by thanking the volunteers who have put so much effort into this.

[00:08:02]Some of >> All right, I'm going to forward a little bit through just kind of the uh you know the salutations and and dive a little bit more into the content of what he's saying. But right right off the bat he is talking about the the money, right?

[00:08:15]That seems to be one of the main themes of this election from the libertarian side. The criticism is that this that this election was bought and paid for by Apac, the the pro-Israel uh uh you know money that's coming in.

[00:08:31]Now, this isn't direct money, you know, as a pack. It's a political pack. So, this isn't uh direct money from the Nation of Israel. It's Americans in the United States who are pro-Israel. And of course, it's a US organ. It's a US pack.

[00:08:46]But this is a big part of the debate. uh around this election.

[00:08:53]>> I I want to I want to thank the donors.

[00:08:56]Now, listen, I name them all, but there's 50,000 donors, okay?

[00:09:05]>> We didn't we didn't lose this race because we didn't have enough money. You know, it it is the most expensive race ever. I think when they add it up, right now they can count 35 million. I think when they add it up, it's going to be a lot more than that because on our side, we know we spent more than 15 million and um we were able to go toe-to-toe.

[00:09:22]There was never a week that we got outspent more than two to one in this entire race um once it got underway. And that's that's also it did it wasn't just the grassroots donors. We had a long time one of my longest friends. He went through a a rough spell and I never left him. I always supported him. And he actually started the super PAC, the one that nobody knows who runs it. Um Cliff Maloney, if you're around, would you come up here?

[00:09:50]Maybe I can get him out here to take some credit.

[00:09:54]If he's in the crowd, just pick it.

[00:09:56]>> Okay, so these super packs, you know, these are the big money. This is the donor money. Now, Massie did get a lot of individual donations also, but like I mentioned, 79% of those individual donors had also contributed to the Democratic Party in Act Blue. What this tells us is that a large portion of Massie's so-called grassroots uh supporters, and there are some real grassroots supporters out there, but a large portion of them were either former Democrats or are currently still Democrats because you have a lot of Democratic support and and left-leaning support for Tommy uh for Thomas Massie uh because of his anti-Israel, anti- war position. I mean, you've even got, we'll get to this guy in a minute, but Sam Mahuk, who's an American Palestinian uh businessman who contributed uh, you know, a a decent amount to him and and got all his family to to max out the limits. But let's let's listen a little bit more and we'll we'll begin to unpack some of those things around the concession speech here.

[00:11:06]>> Up and surf him over here. Uh, >> cliff cliff cliff cliff.

[00:11:13]>> All right, I'm gonna forward. I I put a couple time markers just to get through the intros, but let's go to about here.

[00:11:20]>> In all seriousness, um, walking out here and seeing all of you has really energized me. Um, and it has all along.

[00:11:27]But why why am I hopeful right now?

[00:11:29]Because if you looked at the cross tab in the polling, and I'm sure if we had exit polling, it would show the same thing. The we have the YOUNGER DEMOGRAPHIC. WE WE USA.

[00:11:46]>> OKAY. And I I just want to say with the younger demographic, um you know, that's I'm not it's not bad. You know, I just want you guys to understand that ideologically I actually agree with a lot of things that libertarians uh teach and believe. my part. So it's so it's good to have it as an I as an ideal for the young where we can grow to principles of constitutional conservatism and you know focusing truly on America uh first in every way but I think we're doing that already with with MAGA but but uh but you know the libertarians are a lot lot stricter of course the problem that I have with the libertarians like Thomas Massie Rand Paul, even Ron Paul to to a great extent who I actually uh really like in many ways and even had an opportunity to interview him on this channel many years ago uh which was which was really uh fascinating for me. But um you know the problem that I have with these these strict neolitarians as I would think of them or at least maybe displaced libertarians um is that they're ideologues. There is no sense of pragmatism. there's no, you know, uh, working together with your party and with your team in order to get actual practical results for the nation.

[00:13:12]Now, I I fully again, I fully understand standing on principle, standing on your ideals, but practically speaking, you know, it's a lot there's a lot to consider there, uh, rather than just being a pure ideologue. I think that's what bugs me most about the Libertarian Party. Uh, but we'll get to that more in a minute.

[00:13:33]>> USA, >> you are you are patriots and you will inherit this country and you will make it better and I am hopeful because of that. Thank you.

[00:13:48]>> All right. So, we're just going to really put into it.

[00:13:51]>> We we accidentally I think I I accidentally I meant didn't mean to do this. It started out as an election and it turned into a movement. We >> I mean he's definitely his people are going to be much more galvanized after this. I think that's why he is putting on a good face and and you know looking happy and like he's just excited about losing. But uh I think that's partly put putting on a good face and moving forward. But it also galvanizes his own base. Maybe he has in mind running in the presidential primaries, you know, in in November. You never know.

[00:14:35]>> I mean, I think I think people if you're not if you're not tired of politics, if you're not jaded, if you're not cynical, and so many people are, you know, the people that, you know, want somebody that'll go along to get along. I've never heard of that strategy, but that seems to be what the voters want. That's what's been promised to them. But not the young voters. I mean, we stirred up something. There is a yearning in this country for somebody who will vote for principles over party, >> right? That's what I was talking about.

[00:15:03]Uh, you know, principles over party, principles over getting things done. You know, I mean, if you think about it, one of the reasons why the MAGA movement or at least President Trump's uh side of the MAGA movement uh has been very critical of Thomas Massie, calling him a Democrat or a liberal. I don't think he's a liberal in the sense that, you know, Camela Harris or or Joe Biden uh were. But at the same time, because of his strict stance on pure principle over practical matters, if that is if if we're to take him at face value, because of that, he's gathering around him uh drawing and attracting to him people like Ilhan Omar or Rashid Talib, for example. uh these you know the squad right these are the the Muslim you know stuff that we don't want in our government sorry but that's my position I don't want u Islamic ideology anywhere in our government but but basically this is why Trump calls him a liberal or many people say he's a rhino uh it's not it's not that he's a rhino it's just he's really a strict libertarian uh in the sense of standing for principles no matter what. To give you a quick example of that is like I think of the abolitionist movement which wants to abolish abortion completely. And I, you know, I'm for abolishing abortion, but at the same time, uh, what what they do is they're so principled on that, which is a good thing as, as far as an ideology, but in practical ways, they'll work against prolife politicians who have heartbeat bills, for example, which today are saving babies lives and making progress. You know, one thing that the the left and the Democrats were very good at is incrementalism and getting things an inch at a time. Kind of like the boiling frog method, you know, where you wake up one day and now now you have your ideals realized. Uh but it takes time. So being principled without being practical is a big part of this problem.

[00:17:24]You all You all don't like bullies and you don't tolerate them and I love you for it.

[00:17:29]>> You also >> they couldn't listen.

[00:17:44]>> All right. While they cheerlead him, I just let me point out a few other things. uh when I mentioned Rashid Tali bin Ilhan Omar okay Massie co-sponsored a bill with Ilhan Omar so they co-sponsored a bill together okay so these are his allies within Congress uh and they did this to to issue the war powers act which is you know Congress stepping in and limiting or stopping a president from carrying so-called unauthorized military operations ations in this case the war in Iran. Now one thing that um they don't understand about that is that the president doesn't need approval uh for a certain amount of days like 60 days or something until uh he can then go and get authorization from war for fullcale war but you can do mil military operations and the president should be able to do that. So they always bring that up people that are pro massie but but he actually co-sponsored a bill with them with Ilhan Omar um and Rashid Talib supporting it or maybe it was the other way I think it was Rashid Talib he sponsored it with well the the squad right but in addition to that one thing that that just boggles my mind also because this really ties in to the whole Israel and Palestine and you know to all of that is that he also uh voted voted against in the Republican in in Congress, the only Republican to vote against condemning Hamas for their October 7th attack. This is why I have problems with Massie. It's not his principles. It's not that he takes a a constitutional uh so-called constitutional approach to things. It's that he's siding with Islamic ideology and voting against things like Trump's tax cuts and, you know, voting against the big beautiful bill. We'll go over some of that in a little bit, too. But I know a lot of my followers and people that listen and tune in are are pro- Massie. I'm not here to bash Massie, okay? Just so you get it. But I I actually, like I said, I agree with a lot of the principles that he stands for, but I'm also not non-interventionist like he is. And we'll get into all of that a little bit as he touches on those topics.

[00:20:10]>> If I known if if id known this speech if I known this speech was going to be this fun to give, I would have come out 15 minutes sooner.

[00:20:18]>> U look for 14 for 14 years those sobs in Washington tried to buy my vote. Yeah, >> they they couldn't buy it.

[00:20:31]>> Why did this >> Okay, what about the Kentucky fourth dark money that's been undisclosed? $6.5 million given to Thomas Massie.

[00:20:39]>> Why did the race get so expensive?

[00:20:41]Because they decided to buy the seat and it and it got really expensive for him. Look, um they used they used a lot of dirty tricks, but we stayed the course. We did not we didn't bend a knee. We didn't throw a foul ball. We didn't do any of those things. We didn't kneecap anybody. There were We had lots of opportunities to try a lot of stuff like that and we never did it. We ran a clean race.

[00:21:11]>> Yeah. And I'm not saying he he isn't standing on principle or that he didn't run a clean race, but there are there are some questions. He's not as perfect as he may be portraying himself. But again, my issue more is policy. Like I don't even want to get into like his personal life or, you know, things about his, you know, his wife or different things that some people are getting into. Uh kind of like the Erica Kirk thing. It's gossip. I don't want to get into that. But judge these these uh elected leaders based or formerly elected leader in this case based on their uh their words, their actions, and their policies.

[00:21:46]And there's, by the way, after 18 months of blacking of a blackout of not letting me on Fox, they finally let me on Fox today, four hours into the election.

[00:22:04]>> Hey, was he not Was he not on Fox or something?

[00:22:08]>> Hey, their their slop their slop is selling, so they'll keep selling it. But but listen, I got to watch Fox also for the first time in 18 months.

[00:22:18]And there was the president talking about, by the way, while gas is almost $5 and diesel's almost six. They're talking about this big ballroom they're going to build. And it looks it looks like ro the Roman Empire architecture from the Roman Empire. I see a few analogies there and people are just trying to make in >> Guys, real quick. Um I was going to share this. It looks like Thomas Massie, I was just wondering about Fox News. Let me share that real quick. Okay, so Thomas Massie says Fox News banned him from network as Trump endorsed his primary challenger. So, uh, something to look into. Uh, just wanted to reference that in case you guys want to look into that.

[00:23:02]Miriam Adlesen would pay for that ballroom, but she Hey, they she spent so much money in this race. They're going to have to reduce the footprint of that thing.

[00:23:16]>> But here's one thing I saw on Fox. They were saying, "Oh my goodness, you know, we're ready for war. There's about We're about to restart this war. We were supposed to restart this war today, but we can't restart this war today. The war can't start today." They said, "We got to wait a day." And I then it like it occurred to me where was the secretary of war yesterday? He was here.

[00:23:36]Listen, wait, wait, wait, wait, no. Look on the >> look on the bright side.

[00:23:44]>> And this is another one of the the major criticisms. Like I said, I'm kind of just reacting to this for the first time. I haven't seen this clip yet. Uh but this has been one of the major criticisms is his position against the Iran war.

[00:23:57]But it's the it's the non-interventionist position, you know, but really, what are we supposed to do with Iran? We can't let them have an, you know, become nuclear and armed. I've gone over that tons of times on this channel. You could even listen from yesterday's, but maybe we'll get into a little bit more. But that has been one of the major uh issues with Thomas Massie.

[00:24:20]>> No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. I >> mean, look guys, I don't want the endless wars either. Like, I understand that angle of things, but I think sometimes again, it comes down to being such an ideologue that you look at everything through whatever doctrine or ideology you have instead of just looking at the situation for what it is.

[00:24:47]You know, with with Iran, like I I I think war is bad like in every way. It's hell. War is hell. It's tragic. Uh but at the same time, sometimes there's a time for peace and a time for war, and you have to be able to discern when those times are. And I think this time with Iran, we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. They've they've uh killed, massacred 40, 50, 60,000 of their own people in like 48 hours.

[00:25:13]They've mass- imprisoned hundreds of thousands political prisoners, tortured, raped. I mean, the list goes on.

[00:25:19]>> Guys, knock that off. You're going to make me feel good about losing.

[00:25:25]What I wanted to do was give you all credit. When they saw the influencers here, they panicked. They sent the secretary of war here and you stopped the war for a day.

[00:25:39]>> No, they just used temp to reload. And and listen guys, if there's people joining this chat or this stream uh that are pro massie, just try to understand the position a little bit uh from a critical side because like I said, I'm not anti-massie on some things on certain constitutional ideals on spending less even like he'll get into saw one clip where he's talking about medical freedom and maha and all of that. I'm completely for all of that.

[00:26:07]But we have to look at each situation individually and not be a complete ideologue or you will end up losing like Massie. You have to work with your your the main party power unless they've gone like full Nazi or something. But in general, you don't have to agree with everything, but we do need to work together if we're going to institute these ideals rather than let them just be principles.

[00:26:34]>> All right. We know we don't want a war and we know why young people are and you know middle-aged people are against the next war because we'd be the ones fighting it. They're trying to bring back the draft. Screw that.

[00:26:48]>> We're not we're not going to fight we're not going to fight some other country's wars, are we? No.

[00:26:54]>> Yeah. In general, we don't want war. We don't want the draft. We don't want like the forever wars. But again, Iran, it's just what other option is there?

[00:27:05]What else? What else do we stand for?

[00:27:07]>> Not we don't want to send our MONEY OVERSEAS.

[00:27:11]>> OKAY, I'll go for that.

[00:27:13]>> Okay, that's another one of the major criticisms is that uh the United States gives $3.8 billion to this to the nation of Israel mainly for defense, mainly for the Iron Dome, things like that. Uh, but not even just the Iron Dome, but all of the the military gear and equipment that the nation of Israel purchases, but they purchase it back from the United States.

[00:27:37]Okay, that's that's number one. They purchase it back from the United States, bringing that $3.8 billion back into the US economy for the most part because we're their arms supplier. And also consider the fact because 3.8 billion sounds like a lot. And why are we giving Israel $3.8 8 billion. Uh, but $3.8 billion is 0.2% of our overall annual budget as the United States of America. 0.2%.

[00:28:08]Now, I'm not against Israel having an Iron Dome and saving their lives. We saw with the Iron Dome, as Iran was firing missiles constantly into Israel, into civilian uh populations. Their Iron Dome is the only thing that kept them safe.

[00:28:22]even though a couple stray missiles did unfortunately get through. But even now BB himself, Benjamin Netanyahu has come out and said that we want to begin backing away and cutting ourselves off from US funding. So BB himself has started a campaign saying as soon as possible and hopefully over like has to be gradual maybe over the next 10 years that Israel is going to basically be cut off from the United States funding. Um which that would make maybe more people happy uh on that issue but again it's only 0.2% of of our annual budget of our annual you know United States of America budget. So it's not a massive amount.

[00:29:07]The thing with Israel is they're holding back the tide of Islam from, you know, from the the Arabian Peninsula and also from the the regime in Iran from coming out and further into the the the West like Britain and and the UK, you know, the UK and Europe and France and everywhere else and also here like places like Michigan and and different Minnesota and everything else. So I'm not against that. So, but let's let's go ahead and uh and continue a little bit.

[00:29:47]>> I've got a bill to do that. I've also got a bill to end the ed in the Department of Education.

[00:29:55]>> Ran Paul says he wants to pass a law that you need one day to read 10 pages of every bill. I asked Rand, "What are you going to do about my bill that's one sentence long to end the Department of Education?" That'd be like five minutes.

[00:30:07]>> Okay, that's funny, but it's kind of a joke, too. I mean, you can't just have a one-s sentence bill. What are the details of that bill? But I, you know, and how is it going to be implemented and what are the what's the impact and what, you know, all the things that need to go into a bill? Not to mention to make it legal. Uh but but I get the greater point that he's making is that these bills shouldn't be, you know, like the Obamacare bill was like 500 million, you know, 500,000 pages or whatever crazy amount it was. I I I agree. I mean, that's why I said like a lot of things actually do agree with a lot of libertarian principles. uh because libertarianism, classic libertarianism is what the the you know, West is is American and European civilization.

[00:30:55]We're liberal in that sense, but it's classic liberalism of freedom. I'm not opposed to any of that. I'm not opposed to a lot of these ideals that Massie espouses. The problem again is this sense of pragmatism and getting the job done for the American people instead of purely being an ideologue and losing the race to read that bill.

[00:31:21]>> By the way, do you know how many pages the Epstein Files Transparency Act was?

[00:31:25]Two pages.

[00:31:29]>> We don't want We know we're tired of meddling overseas. We can't afford it.

[00:31:33]our empire will come.

[00:31:34]>> Every second, too. It's Epstein.

[00:31:36]Epstein. Epstein >> laughs. If we keep sending our money to other countries, I never picked a fight with the country that's tried to take me out here because I've never But >> I'm not saying Epstein isn't a serious issue, but just understand that it's it's being used politically against President Trump and then all the massie, you know, followers or people who aren't critically just thinking for themselves.

[00:32:01]You know, again, my my point is think critically. I'm not anti- messy. I'm not pro massie. I'm just trying to, you know, give you share some of my thoughts with you on this.

[00:32:09]>> I've never voted for foreign aid to any country. We got to take care of America first. America first.

[00:32:17]America.

[00:32:17]>> I have to stop it there for a second, too. I'm not going to keep stopping it.

[00:32:20]I'll let it go. But I'm America first.

[00:32:23]President Trump is America first. That's not the issue. The issue is that libertarians with their non-interventionist policy tend to be America only. And America only is not something I subscribe to. I'm definitely America first full-on President Trump MAGA supporting uh Bible believing Christian. That's that's where I come from. Uh but this idea there's a split within the conservative MAGA movement even where you know you get the more libertarian-minded non-interventionist types against the pragmatists and you know people who understand sometimes there is a war to be had and there's no better option. America first. America first. America first. America first.

[00:33:14]America first. America first.

[00:33:16]>> By the way, there was You remember that organization that Klaus Schwab started called the World Economic Forum?

[00:33:23]>> Yeah, I'm with you.

[00:33:24]>> He said they said you should eat bugs.

[00:33:26]Do you want to eat bugs?

[00:33:28]>> No.

[00:33:28]>> They said you'll own nothing and be >> But is he using this as propaganda right now or does he you know I mean it's true. I agree. Like we all hate Klaus Schwab in the World Economic Forum.

[00:33:39]>> Happy about it. You want to do that?

[00:33:42]>> Well, guess what happened? Guess what happened to Klaus's CEO? He was in the Epstein files. He had to resign. We took out We took out the CEO of the World Economic Forum with a two-page bill.

[00:33:59]>> What I wonder what he was in the Epstein files over, though. That that's another one of the questions. And I'm not, you know, I don't like those guys. I'm not saying that and and I wouldn't be surprised. Okay. But there's a lot of things with even the Epstein files that there are false narratives out there and there are there are cultural myths that get propagated even even among our own, you know, side that we have to be aware of. There's propaganda on every side. Uh and you have to be really careful not to fall for it.

[00:34:30]>> What else? What else are we for? Look, I for years I've been standing up for the second amendment, the first amendment, fourth amendment, fourth amendment, the 10th amendment. I just realized the seventh amendment is under attack. It's because I serve on the judiciary committee. The the seventh amendment is your right to a jury trial. They've taken it away for vaccines. If you get hurt, you can't sue for vaccines.

[00:34:52]They're trying to take it away for pesticides. They're trying to take it away for these data centers. No.

[00:35:00]>> Okay. Yeah. I mean, like I said, I I don't disagree or agree with everything Thomas Massie believes. I'm on like the maha side and we want accountability. We want, you know, we don't want uh we want medical freedom, basically. I mean, I still don't know to this day what it's like to wear one of those face diapers.

[00:35:17]And so, you know, we want we want all of that. Uh so, you know, there's things that we have in common. It's just there's things that we don't.

[00:35:25]>> We've been we've been fighting that back. So, that's part of that's an amendment that, frankly, I didn't think I was going to have to fight for, but I've been fighting for it in DC, and we need to keep fighting for the seventh amendment, too. They want these corporations want get out of court free cards. We're not going to give them one.

[00:35:43]>> What else is part of our coalition?

[00:35:46]>> Cutting Doge, cutting spending.

[00:35:49]>> They They ran They ran Doge out of town.

[00:35:54]Elon Musk found out it was easier to land a rocket backwards. It was easier to get a car to drive itself. It was easier to put internet on Antarctica than it was to cut a $100 of spending in Washington DC.

[00:36:07]>> Yeah. I mean, hey, again, yeah, Doge, I I was for Doge. I think they they had a good start. They exposed that $8 million to Politico and USAD was abolished because of it. And there was a lot that they actually did, but yes, it does need to keep going and going a little bit deeper.

[00:36:24]It's a tough problem, but we're not going to give up on that either.

[00:36:29]>> Maha, is anybody here for Maha?

[00:36:34]>> Yeah.

[00:36:34]>> Does anybody want to eat poison?

[00:36:37]>> Do you want the government telling you what to eat?

[00:36:40]>> No.

[00:36:40]>> Do you want the government telling you to put a needle in your arm?

[00:36:44]>> I don't either. That's why I've been fighting all of that stuff. We need food freedom. We need medical freedom. We need all of those freedoms.

[00:36:55]So I mean if if he would just like all those things are great if he would just get a little bit practical and understand there's times for war that are absolutely necessary and not be such an ideologue. I think he he could have won this. He has so much that he could run for president if he would adjust a little bit. Now people will say his that would be adjusting his principles and man I mean like like I said that that's that's the big that's the big problem you know um he's got to he's got to do he's a politician I mean you've got to you've got to win so that you can institute your agenda and he might be setting himself up for a longer you know he's like playing the long game now now he can run you know in the future future for president one day possibly.

[00:37:48]>> And we need we need basic decency. We need basic decency.

[00:37:52]>> That's what the Epstein Files Transparency Act was all about. By the way, today is the six-month anniversary of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

[00:37:59]We've taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture.

[00:38:12]And that was just six months. I got seven months left in Congress.

[00:38:32]>> Wait. Hey, when when did bipartisanship become a dirty word in this country? It never should be. By the way, I'm not even sure that I'm by partisan because I can't identify with either some days.

[00:38:54]That's the great thing about the polls being closed. They can't run an ad where I claim to be trans.

[00:39:03]Transpartisan. Thank you very much. I don't know which cloak room to go in.

[00:39:08]So, >> but look, if I if if you know, I I bet you've been through some of you to study political science. By the way, that's not a real science. I'm a political science denier. If you're already halfway through that degree, double major in theater and call it political theater. Then you can serve on the oversight committee, the judiciary committee. You can be on the whip team.

[00:39:30]What's a member What's the difference between a used car salesman and a member of the whip team? The used car salesman knows when he's lying. They go around telling everybody, "Oh, that good stuff's in the bill. All that bad stuff's not in the bill." I don't blame them. They haven't read the bill.

[00:39:44]They're not lying. They don't know they're lying. Anyways, u bipartisanship. We need to bring this country together. We It is not There's too much of the uni party in Washington DC. What we need is a unity party.

[00:40:03]Well, he's the first one that's not really uniting though, not even within his own party. That's a big part of the problem. You have to be able to work with President Trump. You're not going to beat Trump. You're just not. He's the most popular president that we've ever had, at least in my lifetime. And um you know that that's a big factor. You know, this really was the Trump effect. you know, every candidate that Trump endorsed in the primaries won from what I what I believe. You know, fact check me if if you want, but I you know, every single one won one that he that he endorsed. So this is, you know, the the the masses and and the libertarians, they are painting this as an as a win from, you know, Apac and that Israel won this election and all of this stuff, but it but that's not true. It actually is uh because again, like I said earlier, there's dark money on his side, too. But this actually is um a victory for President Trump and the the real and the original MAGA movement. you know there is no MAGA movement without President Trump or those who are like a part of his uh ide ideology or or you know like like let's say like Marco Rubio for example or others like that who are who are you know strong supporters.

[00:41:27]So let's let's watch a little more.

[00:41:40]Look, >> look, we ran we ran a race that you can be proud of. You >> see, they're already saying 2028, right?

[00:41:54]>> Have to apologize to nobody tomorrow for anything you did. And we kept smiling the whole time. When I was called a at the prayer breakfast, I said, "I'm glad I'm in his prayers.

[00:42:06]>> Just that would be my advice to you all.

[00:42:09]Don't dig in. Don't get mad. Don't even try to get even. Just stay on your course. Get our stuff done. Get the things you care about done." We weren't really running against uh Ed Galrine. We weren't running against Donald Trump.

[00:42:24]>> We were running for what we believe in.

[00:42:26]>> Yeah. Okay.

[00:42:28]Listen, if you always vote with the president, if the if the legislative branch always votes with the president, >> it's not that you shouldn't Yeah, you shouldn't always vote with the president if there's something, you know, on your conscience that you seriously disagree with, but he voted no times with the president pretty much. I mean, he he voted against all the tax cuts uh through the uh the big beautiful bill.

[00:42:57]He voted against again condemning the the October 7th attacks with Hamas. He wouldn't he wouldn't condemn Hamas. And so there really is a a pro Palestinian anti-Israel uh uh part of this. Also, I wanted to get to Sam Mahuk. Also, I'll come back to that because there is uh money also from from a pro Palestinian American businessman where his entire family uh pretty much like seven or eight of them or something maxed out the individual contributions of $7,000 each to support him plus whatever dark money is going through that Kentucky fourth pack. But maybe I'll share that now real quick actually since we're we're talking about it. Um, and I know it's kind of hard to see, but you could always, uh, you could always zoom in. Let me see if I could zoom in myself. But you see this guy, uh, there's Zed Mahuk, uh, Sam Mahuk, Rani Mahuk, Muhammad Mahuk, all these different Mahuks that are related to this guy, Sam Mahuk. He's the uh, CEO of MEI Group USA. Now look, I don't know a I'm not saying like this is some bad dude or you know uh like this is like some dark nefarious thing.

[00:44:18]He basically but he just basically is a supporter of that he did it was kind of shady you know he maxes out every family member uh for that individual donation.

[00:44:28]But there are things like this going to Massiey's campaign. We can't forget that. You know one thing I don't like right away is I see he him on his LinkedIn profile.

[00:44:39]kind of grosses me out, you know, because we're not woke. Um, male and female, two genders, etc. That is actually the official position of the United States. So, I like that. Uh, but all of these uh different um you know, different people uh that you see on on the screen. Let me see if I can um go to his Let me see if I could do this. I'm going to share. I think you might have not seen that part. So, let me share with you the LinkedIn his LinkedIn profile.

[00:45:17]All right. Yeah. So, this guy right here, Sam Maharoo. Again, here's the he him that I talked about. Kind of gross.

[00:45:24]Uh chairman and CEO at MEI Group. MEI Group USA. So, it's his family that maxed out uh the contributions. Now, again, you know, I I like looked him up, see who he is. seem like a decent guy.

[00:45:36]I'm not saying he's like some evil dude or anything, but but what this shows is there is stuff like that also going on on the Thomas Massie side uh for with like the again the there's a pack, you know, political action committee that gave $6.5 million to Thomas Massiey's campaign that I mentioned earlier for those just tuning in because we're getting new people in the stream. I just want to put that in context a bit, but this is this is the guy. So there's there's stuff like that uh which is kind of shady. But let's go ahead and and continue with the rest. And at the very end of this also Ed Galain is going to come out with his victory speech. So stay tuned for that.

[00:46:19]>> We do have a king.

[00:46:21]>> If the legislative branch always vote which votes whichever way the wind is blowing, then we have mob rule.

[00:46:29]But if the legislative branch and the representatives and the senators that serve with it always follow the constitution, we have a republic.

[00:46:41]USA.

[00:46:48]>> Why did guys one more thing before we we leave him. Uh he also Massie did also vote against censoring Rashida Talib from Congress.

[00:47:00]I mean I don't know what the the circumstances behind that but if I had an opportunity I would have censored her. I don't want what she represents in the United States government. The Islam is not compatible with the West. It's just not. It's a different we're built on on on Christian biblical. You could say people don't always like this term but Judeo-Christian you know uh ideology because which we are Judeo-Christian in the sense that uh you know Jesus came from J Judea from he's the line of the tribe of Judah um and so it is in the true sense you know the west has been built on the foundations of Christianity ultimately and um the places like the Arab peninsula with with the Arabic invasion or the not the Arabic invasion But the Islamic u the religion as my friend Bill says you can't say the name of the religion that you know even the algorithms don't like us talking about about the the the religion you can't you can't talk about or the one you can't name. Uh but you know we don't want that invading our western Christian ideals. Uh we talked a lot a lot more about this in the United Kingdom rally. Just wanted to touch on that for a sec. Why are all the loud ones in the front? I could have heard you in the back.

[00:48:25]>> Listen, I wanna I I want to leave you with this. Um >> Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to I want to have a toast. Can >> Does anybody have their glasses? If you don't, I saw I saw a few glasses. Okay.

[00:48:43]>> This is This is the one scandal. This is the one scandal they never figured OUT ON ME.

[00:48:55]I GET MY MILK FROM THE AMISH cartel >> and I and I don't pay for it with Federal Reserve notes. I I trade peaches peaches for dairy.

[00:49:14]And and what I want to do is I in um this is a toast in honor of my late wife.

[00:49:24]>> I introduced the raw milk bill and a milk lobby came after me viciously. They said there wouldn't be enough hospitals for all the kids that would be sick and dying.

[00:49:32]them.

[00:49:33]>> If we had raw milk. You had the problem with that.

[00:50:42]again. Oh, sorry. Was I muted that whole time, guys? All right, let me let me keep going.

[00:50:47]>> That is It's already legal in a bunch of states and I've been drinking it for years. So, uh, my late wife's Google alerts were going off. They were she was getting all this bad press about me up there in Washington DC and she was worried for me and I've got a pretty thick skin, but she texted me one of those stories and she said, "OMG, I didn't realize the lactose lobby was so intolerant."

[00:51:08]So, let's have a drink, >> man. So, what I was saying there is what um no matter what you think of of Thomas Massie, uh that was a genuine moment and and God bless him and uh there's things that we all agree on that we can come together and work on uh with together.

[00:51:28]So, God bless him on that.

[00:51:42]I decided before today that we were going to win or lose today and we would win either way whether >> because not again.

[00:52:05]Uh, you know, when I try to tell my grandson to be quiet tonight, he is not gonna listen. He probably be saying, "Massie, Massie."

[00:52:14]Here's what I want to leave you with.

[00:52:16]Um, this we won. We won because we started a movement.

[00:52:20]>> We showed people that that if you're under 50, >> you want to save this country.

[00:52:35]But what happened? What happened today was God's will.

[00:52:41]>> It couldn't happen if God didn't want it to.

[00:52:45]>> So our job, and I'm not going to make any announcements tonight. I'm going to go back, have me a medical margarita.

[00:52:51]I'll hang out and party with you all.

[00:52:56]You know, I don't drink recreationally.

[00:52:58]I have medical margaritas. I even have a medical margarita card.

[00:53:04]>> But what happened what happened today?

[00:53:08]>> What happened tonight was God's will.

[00:53:11]>> And we have to figure out what was the purpose of having the biggest fight ever. Biggest fight ever. Why did it why did it converge on one of 435 congressional seats right here in Kentucky? What was God's purpose? What is he showing us tonight?

[00:53:27]>> We're just getting started. WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED. I LIKE THAT.

[00:53:31]>> YEAH. I mean, they've been chanting 2028. This has got that presidential that presidential, you know, vibe where he's he's going to be amping up for a for a campaign run in 2028. I mean, I I What do you think? I think it's it's coming.

[00:53:58]What?

[00:53:59]>> What happens in 2028?

[00:54:03]>> You want Oh, >> you Oh, you want me to run for Congress again?

[00:54:10]>> Well, he he is kind of funny. I I'll I'll give him that. But, uh, Mary June says, "I thought tax dollars aren't going toward the ballroom." And and that is absolutely right. They are not. that is completely privately funded.

[00:54:25]>> I don't know what you're talking about.

[00:54:30]>> These women, I've never seen a bigger pole. No poker face. How do you think they'll do as face?

[00:54:41]>> All right. Well, you made you made a compelling argument. You smoked your peace. But I need a medical margarita right now.

[00:54:49]>> Okay. and we'll and we'll talk about it later. Thank you and God bless.

[00:55:03]>> All right. Now, I think Ed Gallerin is going to come on. So, let's check that out and we'll end on that.

[00:55:13]Speed it up a little bit.

[00:55:35]USA.

[00:55:45]>> Thank you, folks. I just had a few remarks. Can you hear me? OKAY.

[00:55:58]>> AMEN.

[00:56:00]>> NOW, some folks, I want you to bear with me. It might not make sense to all of you, but it's a long way from a family dairy farm >> and a and a dairy >> on the river bottoms here in Kentucky to standing in front of you here tonight as the Republican nominee for Kentucky Congressional District 4.

[00:56:17]>> And he is going to win. That the Democrats stand no chance in that race.

[00:56:23]>> The winner of the race tonight is not so much Ed Galine. I'll come back to that.

[00:56:28]But it's the Republicans of Kentucky Congressional District 4 and their families who I will be a champion for in Washington.

[00:56:40]>> I want to thank a few folks and bear with me. I'll keep this short. I want to thank President Trump for his support, his endorsement, and his counsel as I navigated this campaign, which is a journey. That endorsement is >> from President Trump. Every candidate that he endorsed, I believe, as as far as I understand it, did win their primary.

[00:57:04]>> Just leadership of our nation.

[00:57:06]>> MAGA MAGA is not dead. And and the Trump momentum is still there. Nobody who's been truly a Trump uh supporter from the start has really defected from Trump.

[00:57:17]Not on not on mass scale. There's always the outliers >> at this critical time. I want to emphasize that this critical time in juncture in history. Thank you, Mr. President.

[00:57:31]I want to thank my family that have endured this campaign in many ways that have been so unfair to them. I want to thank my team back here and this is some of them here. Round of applause.

[00:57:43]Now, we got a saying on the farm. The family farm is a contact sport. I can tell you that campaigning is one as well, isn't it, folks? A lot of talent back here. I want another round of applause for my team. not only the ones in here, but I see him out there as well. Thank you. Thank you.

[00:57:56]>> Give him more more air time because we don't know as much about him. So, let's just watch it through and we'll end on that.

[00:58:01]>> And thank you for what you do. Can I take a minute and also thank my teachers all the way back to Miss Harden at St. St. Paul, Sister Mary Dorothia, Sister Mary Fulgens, Coach Walt Heath from Franklin Simpson just sent me a note and I could go on, but the kind of people that shaped me into the young man I was and never realized to so many years later, you know, what they'd done, including my FFA teacher, Mr. Hammers, World War II veteran, sniper. Wonderful man. Humble as the day is long. I want to thank my teammates from FFA as future farmers of America for you out oftowner folks. That's a big deal in Kentucky.

[00:58:29]Okay. FFA to football to SEAL team and the joint special operations team I served on all over the world.

[00:58:35]>> Yeah.

[00:58:35]>> Thank them for they made me the better person that I am. And the more I was promoted, the more awards I got, the more humble I came.

[00:58:41]>> Combat veteran.

[00:58:41]>> Now my focus is on advancing the presidents and the party's agenda to put America first and Kentucky always. Man, what a stark contrast to Massie. So, he is just, you know, gonna be a fullon mega Trump supporter, which, hey, that's, you know, I'll be straight up, I pretty much am, too. Doesn't mean I'll like I agree with every single thing that President Trump might do, but so far so good. I don't know if he's done much that I disagree with from closing the border completely, uh, where there's just no crossings now. people know not to come over and deporting a lot of hardened criminals, getting DEI out of our legal language in our federal government and all kinds of stuff that he's that he's done. Uh defending uh women uh in sports and and in their, you know, bathrooms and the whole thing, the whole trans agenda. I mean, Trump has been great.

[00:59:39]I'm going to keep this simple because again I speak fluent Kentucky because for the same reasons I joined in 1983 to serve our nation. Remember I didn't join to be a Navy Seal. I joined to make a difference and being a Navy Seal was a path to do that. Worked no books and movies never met one. I learned to swim in the Ohio River.

[00:59:54]That's ill advised but that's what I did on the farm. Would have got a whooping had I found out at the house there I did that. But for the same reason I entered as a Navy Seal officer in 1983 because I had the audacity to think I could make a difference and I did.

[01:00:07]I will serve this district, my party, and my nation with that same audacity to make a difference for them, their families, our district, our party, and our nation. God bless America. Thank y'all. Thank y'all for coming tonight.

[01:00:19]Thank y'all. USA, USA, USA, USA, USA.

[01:00:25]Thank y'all.

[01:00:27]Can we get some more of that Brooks and Dun?

[01:00:30]>> Remember, Kentucky, we got both kinds of music, Kentucky and Western. Okay.

[01:00:35]All right. So, uh, short and sweet. Short and sweet. This is a man who will get the job done. Uh, you know, sometimes, uh, people who don't talk as much actually get get more done, right? So, he he doesn't have like, let's say, the presidential vibe that Thomas Massie has uh to some degree because he's clearly going to be running in 2028. But El Ed Galrin is certainly um looks like someone who would be good for Kentucky, uh good for his region, good for his regional district there. And that's what you want in that position. I'm not saying he can't run for president. He certainly could. Uh but just kind of giving you my first impressions of of each. Clearly a combat veteran, uh patriot, an American. I mean, you know, and he's going to be full on board with Trump's agenda, which is an important agenda. We want to we want to see what else Trump has in store. And the problem with Massie has been that he has been a complete obstructionist.

[01:01:38]Uh, and again, even though we kind of agree on some stuff, kind of disagree on other stuff. Um, that's just the facts.

[01:01:45]And I know I'm like already pissing off like a bunch of people who love Massie or whatever, but I am on the Trump team.

[01:01:52]Uh, I've never said I wasn't. So, um, not officially, just I'm a MAGA supporter. I I like President Trump. I like what he's been doing. And seeing Massie out has been a great uh victory in a way. I was honestly excited when I heard the news. I was like, whoa, okay, I got to cover this uh and just kind of watch it and see what's going on and talk about it a little bit. So, I hope uh this has helped I and just been, you know, maybe uh giving you some insight into Massie and the topics surrounding the issue. uh nothing I'd really seen before. Just kind of wanted to watch it with you guys and share because this is a big topic and something that's uh that I'm following uh to some degree. One of the uh people who disagree I think who are probably on the on the Massie side.

[01:02:38]I just want to read this comment here say Thomas Massie won the election. They rigged the vote count. Nothing about the election results adds up. We need a hand recount and a verification process for each vote. So to uh Gnome78, I would just say there are legal processes already in place for those kind of things. And if there's any serious evidence or allegations to that, then I'm sure it'll be brought forth. But simply there isn't. Um and the vote wasn't even close enough to call it election fraud. So that's just kind of silly. Uh sorry, but it's just kind of a silly comment because what what the point of all this uh why I even say that or bring it up is that there is a big side of the the Thomas Massie libertarian side that's gotten gotten kind of uh one harsh with their staunch uh principled positions. Again, I I like a lot of the principles, but you got to be malleable enough to to work with other people to get things done. uh but they also go into this conspiracy side a bit and you know oh it's just voter fraud and all this stuff. So I don't think there's any serious uh proof of that but other than that guys um I think that was uh mainly it. I'm I'm very curious to see you know what uh Ed Grain will will do. He did oust Massie. I'm I'm going to be following him and he seems like a great guy already. uh he seems to be like a patriot and I just pray that God blesses him. Uh God blesses President Trump and the state of Kentucky in all of us here in the USA and abroad. God bless and uh please don't forget to subscribe for more upcoming live streams when issues that are close to my heart uh pop up and I just feel like talking about it. So, God bless you.
