Aulden Shares His Thoughts on Thomas Massie’s Election

Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]woken. Happy Purple Friday everybody.

[00:00:03]Hope you all had a great week. No, it was a little lighter this week. So, after the election Tuesday, woke up with a pretty nasty nasty kind of virus thing on Wednesday. I was pretty well bedridden all day Wednesday.

[00:00:23]Felt a little better yesterday, but still wanted to rest up, make sure I was 100%. So, we took a couple days to recover, to reflect on recent elections, recent events. Uh, and I think you can obviously tell, uh, it is raining in Washington DC. So, God is very upset at the political defeat of Thomas Massie and the passing of Kyle Bush, the uh, longtime NASCAR driver. Only 41 years old. Kind of wild. Um a very rainy day here in DC. Got the umbrella. Um much needed today.

[00:01:04]Uh however um did kind of want to get into want to share my thoughts uh my reflections on the defeat the political defeat of the electoral defeat of congressman America first congressman. More importantly almost uh Thomas Massie of the Commonwealth of Kentucky uh the congressman was defeated by his opponent Ed Galin Ed Galrine. Don't even know how to pronounce his name. He's pretty irrelevant to this uh conversation honestly.

[00:01:46]But besides the point, uh it was about eight points uh difference there in the electoral uh the math of it. I think it was like 54 or 46. This comes after the most expensive house primary in United States history. There had been no uh number amount that had led to any um race being this expensive before. 32, 35 million, however many millions of dollars was funneled into the race by outside groups, outside packs, foreign lobbies.

[00:02:33]Uh and that made a big difference come election day. Um mass he was able to hold on as long as he could. He fought a good fight.

[00:02:45]Ultimately the money was just uh unreal.

[00:02:49]The amount of money was unreal. Um and we're going to break down why that was. But before we hop into the thick of things, before I hop into monologue mode, would love to remind you, please leave the video a like, hit that subscribe button. If you enjoy political com commentary, uh you might want to join our Discord as well. Uh it's free.

[00:03:12]We're >> there's about 35 40 of us >> in there. So, we're looking to populate um our channel's Discord all the time.

[00:03:20]You can find that uh link in our channel description.

[00:03:25]uh and the bio.

[00:03:28]Um and additionally, we we unlocked super chats recently as well. So, we would love to uh if you want to support the show financially, we are in a uh we are accepting super chats now. We unlocked that feature uh recently. All all finances will go immediately right right back into the show for equipment upgrades, travel, you know, moving expenses, travel expenses because midterms are heating up and we got to make a difference now um in a different way maybe. So, we're going to be thinking of a bunch of different ways to get involved and we're gonna we're gonna find something to do because we can't just sit on the sidelines this time, but okay. It is kind of windy here in Washington. Let's read a couple comments though first. Uh Al Meim says, "Hi, hello." Um Alf, thanks for joining the stream. Fred's lady says, "Hello, happy purple Friday." Hello, Fred's lady. a happy purple Friday to yourself. Uh then hi New Blow uh says good morning. Yeah, good morning to you as well. Thank you for popping on the stream. Nice to meet you today.

[00:04:50]Okay, well um yeah, obviously this isn't a fun just for break it down a little bit. You know, this is not a very fun time uh and politics for us. Um know this is another feels like another animal farm kind of moment. Uh what happened on Tuesday um in particular that once again uh you know principles were overran by money, deep state money, whatever you really want to call it. Um Yaya says where are you? We are in Washington DC. We're in front of the US Capital building um in the United States, the capital of the United States.

[00:05:48]And the current colonel uh leads me into a great segway actually. He says, "I think they took too big of a bite this time." Uh the United States of America um Washington, District of Columbia, um our capital city um here in the United States where uh we border Virginia and Maryland. Um if you've heard of those two states before as well. Yaya says, "How much is a get?" I think any anything is uh whatever you can um whatever you're wanting to donate. Yeah.

[00:06:26]Um, yeah. I think I think that's the way I think it maybe there's a minimum that YouTube makes it. Um, but for like my channel, there's no requirement at all.

[00:06:42]Yeah, the colonel um makes a very good point um about too big of a bite this time.

[00:06:49]So, I really want to start the monologue with basically saying kind of what to the colonel just mentioned is that this was the most obvious uh out in the open, clear as day um case study on how the system actually works, how this building behind uh behind me actually operates.

[00:07:17]If you go against uh the establishment too often, um you will uh be defeated pretty much.

[00:07:28]That's that's what the message was. And not even just the establishment. Follow the money. Where did all of that money uh come from? Uh how to how like and subscribe. Just hit the uh there should be a subscribe button next to the channel name, I think.

[00:07:47]um and says, "This is the first time I've ever participated in a live broadcast on the other side of the world." Awesome. Yeah. What uh what country are you from?

[00:07:56]Um okay. I actually wrote down a couple of main uh talking points I want to say here. So, I'mma get them out real quick.

[00:08:09]Uh let's see.

[00:08:12]Yeah, here we go.

[00:08:17]Now I'm just going to have to think I'm just going to have to choose to get a little wet.

[00:08:24]Yeah, I dropped this stupid [ __ ] umbrella. Get over here.

[00:08:30]We're done with Okay. All right. So, just kind of want to get in the uh that monologue mode to the Colonel's point. This is a case study on how the system actually works.

[00:08:49]Uh, and let's go what really Trump world obviously wants you to think that the election was a referendum on Thomas Massie like not voting for the big beautiful bill or uh not voting enough with the president in Congress or whatever, you know, whatever it was.

[00:09:13]Um, which doesn't really Yeah, that could be a small factor of it, but follow the money here. One sec.

[00:09:27]There we go.

[00:09:31]Front world would want you to think it's about the big beautiful bill or something else, right? When that's obviously maybe a minor factor. There's been other members of Congress that have not been super cooperative on the legislative slot side. And really, every time Thomas Massie voted no on something like that, he had a valid explanation on on why he refused to vote for the bill or legislation or whatever it was. So, um, let's look follow the money. Where did all this money come from? about four about four million bucks from the Republican Jewish Coalition. Uh another four million bucks from Apac. Um we know Mary Mson.

[00:10:17]She wasn't even born in America. She was born in Israel. Uh a Trump mega donor gave I'm sure she gave a good watt of cash for the race. Paul Singer as well, another um another Zionist uh supported uh Galin or Galin, whatever his name is in the race. Um so a lot of pro-Israeli influence uh millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars pumped into the race to for anti-massie money. And when you follow the money, just look at some of Massiey's comments that really started to wake people up in the 2024 interview uh with Tucker Carlson. Mentioned that every Republican member of Congress besides him and maybe a couple others have an Apac buddy that is assigned to them. It might be a constituent or it might be a representative from MAPAC that's tied with the rep a constituent and they essentially will uh you know text you and hey can you uh can you sponsor this bill or can we ensure that you're going to vote for this bill or will you sign this letter and in return uh we'll give you money or we won't pressure you or whatever. Um, so additionally you have that. So you have the Massie comment on the Tucker Carlson interview and then throughout 2024 2025 not voting to fund uh, you know, to send military aid and weapons to Israel. That was also deemed as a cardinal sin by the Israeli the Zionist lobby. Um and then I think something that really probably crossed the line too much was the Epstein files transparenc uh um transparency act. Um he led the charge and it forced the entire uh Republican conference essentially to their end of the day. He won he won the fight. uh the Epstein files transparency act passed only because of himself and Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boowbert and Nancy M. those four Republicans uh got or those three Republicans got with Congi and all of the Dparency Act and we saw back in January when they were released by um let's go too.

[00:13:14]>> Moderation. Hang on.

[00:13:17]>> Okay, we're um what was he saying?

[00:13:23]>> Yeah, I think that was probably just too much for the Zionist lobby. Um lots of people lots of people in the deep state were exposed for the Epstein files transparency act. Um, so I think those couple things in particular and that led to him this race being the most expensive ever in uh history. You look all around Washington DC and you'll see America 250 literature, signage, logos, whatever. Uh, and the 250 years you just saw the most expensive singular race.

[00:13:59]uh um country um in the country's history.

[00:14:09]And now let's go to about here. Let's go to um yeah, we already got the comments.

[00:14:20]Okay. And let's just go to All right. So this Ed Galan guy, the other um the other candidate, right? No one knows anything about him. He could have been manufactured in lab for all we know hardly. Um, honestly, um, never held public office in his life. He ran for state senate in 2024, didn't win.

[00:14:45]Yeah. So, he's just some just some guy essentially. Nothing particularly exciting about him. He never debated.

[00:14:55]he, you know, his uh we don't know anything what he really stands for or believes in honestly except he wants to institute the draft for what whatever that means.

[00:15:07]He wants supports war in Iran. Um so obviously different policies than the Congressman Massie. Um but just look at the enthusiasm level. just go to the election night party for Ed Galin.

[00:15:28]There were, you know, probably 22 dozen people there maybe. And his victory speech was about 4 and a half minutes long. One of the minutes just thanking the president of the United States. Uh he it was a very typically generic you almost thought it would be a uh concession speech. He's like concession speech. He said I thank the president for the support. Uh I appreciate my voters for and voting for me and I want to thank my staff and and for putting up with me and helping me on the campaign trail. Um that's pretty much all he said during that campaign uh victory speech and hardly you could hear the echoes. It wasn't exciting. Nobody was really super thrilled like there's because it manufactured. There was no enthusiasm at all uh behind the campaign whatsoever because it was all bought by foreign money. Exactly.

[00:16:39]Uh now let's go to um Thomas Massiey's election night party. Man, you would have thought he was actually uh the victor at the party.

[00:16:50]Um I don't I've been to in my eight years in politics, um I've been to a lot of election night party.

[00:17:02]Okay, never mind. Uh, and you'll be able to kind of understand what I mean a little bit more because everyone there were chants. They were Thomas Massie run for president Chance or Massie Massie Massie.

[00:17:20]Uh, they did a toast. He drank a raw uh glass of milk. He hinted that he was going to have a medical margarita after the um after the speech and he even did an interview with the reporter uh after like the campaign party or whatever. Um and you could tell he was having a good time. Um you know, everyone at his party was excited and and jubilant.

[00:17:51]uh truly uh like they were proud even though it was the air quote losing campaign. They were proud to be part of something that was real and worth fighting for. Um and for a man that held his principles even when things got tough.

[00:18:13]Um, and then let's go to So, another thing that I think is very important about all of this is how people are going to try to frame this in the media. And it's very important that we say why this uh election result happened. Partially, yeah, partially some of it was because he probably pissed Trump off, right? He um that had to do with some of it, right? But Trump didn't put he didn't shell all the money away. It was a lot of pro-Israeli uh money. That's just a fact. There's you cannot deny it. The receipts are there.

[00:18:58]>> He was targeted because of his uh stance on the war in Iran, being against the war in Iran.

[00:19:08]uh disclosure of the Epstein files, not wanting to send foreign aid to Israel and any other country as well. Uh the Thomas Massie has mentioned before that he's never sent money to Egypt or uh Nigeria or Ukraine, Russia, whatever country, he's never sent foreign money anywhere. So that's just a disciplined American foolish kind of mindset he has there.

[00:19:35]So people are going to say, especially in Trump world, you're going to be like, "Damn, yeah, you don't cross the president. This is what happens." Well, follow the money. Um, but the real answer is, hey, uh, no matter if even if you're a seven-term incumbent congressman, uh, from rural Kentucky, um, a district that really has, you would think, would have nothing to do with Israel at all. If you vote against our priorities, our massive lobby we have in the country is going to come and remove you from office essentially.

[00:20:12]That's and that is exactly what happened. So, um that's what's important that the real takeaway is from this. um not all this other crud you're hearing is that if you if you serve in this body right here, one of these two chambers, and you start voting against Israel too much or criticizing Israel too much, their lobby will come and remove you from power.

[00:20:42]That's the obvious takeaway from Tuesday night. I don't see how um there can be a whole lot of other ways stuff there. Um if someone has a challenge to that, I'd love to hear it.

[00:20:58]Um but I do think some of that is very important though is what does this mean for us? Right? This was a pretty crushing defeat. Um I've been doing campaigns since I was 18 years old.

[00:21:14]Other than the very first campaign I was on and volunteered on uh and supported, I probably have not been like this upset and like sad actually seen a candidate uh lose an election since I was 18 years old and I'm almost 27 now. Um so this one hurt guy. Like I'm not going to try and sugarcoat this. Um there are silver silver linings that we're going to pick out of this, but this was uh you know a kind of where do we go from now moment and I think I have some good uh kind of takeaways and silver linings we can get from this election is that some of the big uh one of the big things that did happen factually is that everyone under 50 55 years old voted for Thomas Massie. And the younger it got uh you know the closer the number crept down to 30 and 20 and you know the very the youngest voters the higher proportion of the vote Thomas Massie received deepened. So the people our age are voting with us. They are America first. They're done with this establishment [ __ ] uh supporting foreign nation [ __ ] uh going to going to war in the Middle East. Um you know, we're a principled uh generation of voters. Um and we won't stand for this. So, I think what we have to do next is we just have to continue organizing, mobilizing, um and finding races that we can win in.

[00:23:02]Um because if You can't govern if you have no political power. That's the reality of the situation. So, we need to find a couple of races, I think, over the next couple of weeks, whether uh I'm not sure who these candidates should be. Um, but there can't be a um, you know, there has to be some kind of response, I think.

[00:23:34]Oh, there are just a couple people screaming over there at the Capitol.

[00:23:38]Um, here. Let's see. I think you got everything I wanted to talk about.

[00:23:46]Um, yeah. And so I think that's pretty well most of the thoughts I wanted to share about Massiey's election. Um, we'll open it up for comments though. We'll Yeah, we'll kind of have a more uh normal stream. Uh, once again.

[00:24:08]Um, let me put my piece of paper away.

[00:24:15]Cool.

[00:24:18]All right. So, here Damon Allergy as well. Um, good morning Colonel.

[00:24:31]Uh, and yeah, good morning sirish as well.

[00:24:38]Thank you all for joining the stream this morning. And thank you to default username says nice suit classy.

[00:24:45]Absolutely. It is purple Friday out here. Rainy uh murky day here in Washington. I joked earlier that the political gods are uh crying that Thomas Massie lost his election. Um and that Kyle Bush passed away yesterday as well at what 41 or 43. Pretty pretty young uh for someone at his age to pass away like that. Um unfortunately um but there Damon says but his comment though says if you're looking for good news from the Massie election they spent 35 million pus and sec defense personally campaigning and still lost 40% of the votes and they lost all the younger voters. That's correct. Yeah. This uh so with all Yeah. All the MAGA people online are like wow the president saw a great grip on the party. Well, you do on the boomers. Um, not sure about the younger people anymore. Um, so that's something that they should probably keep in mind, I think. Um, but we know through, we've talked about this before, though.

[00:25:57]Um, age and education are the two biggest determinants in a any specific individual is going to vote. And that's why um you know the boomers are so good at voting because they're old and maybe they don't have all that much other stuff to do. I don't you know um and the young people maybe they're just trying to maybe they just bought a home last week and they don't have time or they're getting married or whatever it is. They just have more stuff going on in their life. um maybe finance troubles are in the way or something. So um but that is one of the uh one of the difficulties um right now.

[00:26:52]Let me put my umbrella away. I also listen to what y'all are saying.

[00:26:58]Uh >> but Damon is correct though. Yeah. You know, I thought this war in Iran, uh, stopping Iran from having a nuclear weapon was so important.

[00:27:13]I guess it wasn't Yeah, I guess there was enough time for to have an off day for the defense uh for the Secretary of War to go to rural Kentucky, a campaign for Ed Galrine. Um, that's kind of funny, isn't it?

[00:27:30]Um and yeah, the president spent a bunch of money and time as well in the state.

[00:27:35]So, um they gave Massie everything they had and it got 54% of the vote for it and no young people. So, the generational divide really cannot be uh more clear-cut. And that's why I said at the very beginning, this election is a very good case study on how electoral politics actually works when the machine gets involved. And uh and I just kind of broke it down for you a little bit there over the last 15 20 minutes. So okay. Um but default uh beta says at already told you I know already told me.

[00:28:21]Yeah.

[00:28:23]See, I tried not to be a doomer like you guys, but you you guys were right. I admit I was wrong.

[00:28:30]Uh, and Benjamin says, "Good morning, America." Morning, Benjamin. Yeah, good morning from Washington DC, dude. Yeah, we're out here uh talking about Thomas Massiey's uh electric on Tuesday.

[00:28:47]Here, let's get the poll question.

[00:29:10]Yeah, let's shrink that a little bit.

[00:29:12]Let's get out of the corner.

[00:29:19]And then 2026, it's legally Secretary of Defense.

[00:29:24]Uh rape rapy kegs can't change that all on his own. Oh, just like uh the executive that executive order and whatnot tracking. Then Sir Jiannis says, "Bro, GOP so-called potential future president Marco Rubio is promax Israel's bitch." Then 2026 says Massie should read the Epstein files on the floor every day until January.

[00:29:57]Yeah. You know, uh we saw this with Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, another GOP incumbent that was targeted by the president that lost his primary recently.

[00:30:09]um vote with um Democrats in the Senate to for the uh war powers resolution. It's the first time Senate Democrats have cracked 50 votes on that. Bill Cassidy joined Ran Paul, uh Lisa Marowski, and I think Susan Collins, I believe. I believe those are the four GOP senators that voted it uh for the war powers resolution. Um first time it's passed.

[00:30:44]Um so yeah, Massie, he's um which kind of back I'm monologue for another moment.

[00:30:52]Thomas Massie, he's not going to go anywhere. He might be leaving um the Congress, but he's not going to give up on the fight. I think whether he starts a podcast or whether he uh Kentucky has off-year election cycles, so he could run for governor next year. Um because Andy Basher is term limited. So he could run for governor. Uh he can't run for Senate this year really because um Mitch McConnell seat. This would have been the year to do it or the seat to do it because I don't think Ran Paul I don't think he's due up until 2028 and he won't want to challenge Ran Paul that they are uh allies. Um so mass Senate isn't looking there. He could try the house seat again, but I don't know if that would be the right um uh yeah, they're allies in the Congress to and together. Um but Mass, he'll find something to do.

[00:32:06]Yeah, he's not going to give up on the fight, I think. Yeah, same with Marjorie. even if it's in just limited capacity, every now and now and again they go on someone's podcast or talk uh or spread the message, they're not going to give up. They're fighters. Um they're people that we believe in as well. Um so we're going to keep fight and that's what we have to keep doing. We can't just give up and roll over. Um we have to keep moving forward. uh you know the sun the sun will rise the next day. We have to it's like uh cat and mouse or mouse trap or whatever you know it's just time to reset the traps and uh try again you know it's just time for the next round. We got to keep fighting.

[00:32:55]Okay, the guy with the portaotties is back though. This is Yeah, we've been kind of covering this as a subplot on the stream is that these portaotties have been brought to the capital but then immediately removed uh seemingly for no reason. Um they're not being plugged plugged up anywhere um on the capital grounds. They're just being brought they're being driven on the grounds and then they're immediately removed from the grounds.

[00:33:28]So, pretty odd there. Um, but yeah, Thomas Massie is not going to stop fighting. Um, and neither should you guys as well. Um, it's a stinky um, yeah, very, uh, you know, it is stinky.

[00:33:45]Um, but, >> you know, take a couple days and get back to it. You know, that's what I kind of did. I was a little ill. Um, but we got to keep going. Yeah, I can never give up.

[00:34:02]Um, at 2K611 says, "Cassidy gone. Massie gone." Uh, thinks that's great news.

[00:34:10]Then Damon says Boowbert is next on the pus list. She'll have a tough run. Yeah.

[00:34:15]Um, she seems to be it's heating up around her. Um, let's just say that.

[00:34:24]um a little and that's just insane. The second you vote for Epstein files transparency or anything like that, you're just a target now for uh and this is stuff the president promised. The president promised that Epstein files would be released, that there would be full transparency. Uh and now it's like Animal Farm. Now it's like, oh, now we're not doing this. So very odd there.

[00:34:55]Um Beta says, "Alden, with full confidence, I can tell you more than 95% Republican politicians who hold some kind of office are pro-Israel." And the Democratic party, this number is around 80%. Yeah, I'd say that's especially with now not having Massie or Marjorie Taylor Green. Um, yeah, it's probably um probably all of the Republicans more or less have an Apac buddy to Thomas Massiey's point in that Tucker Carlson interview.

[00:35:29]That's just the reality of the situation. Um, and until something changes, it's going to remain that way until we do something about it.

[00:35:42]Uh Randall says, "How we doing today? Talked to you when uh you was on here. Never known your political side. What's going on, Randall?"

[00:35:56]But yeah, dude. I'm doing I'm doing um I'm doing good, man. We're here at the US CF. A little rainy, a little mucky of a day, but that's not going to stop us uh from hanging out with you guys a little bit today on the stream.

[00:36:10]Um, you have some fun weekend plans hopefully. Well, okay. I usually kind of will casually mention weekend plans, but also want to give a couple minutes um especially for our international viewers. I know we have a lot of international viewers on the stream, but this weekend is not a normal um uh not a normal weekend for a lot of families in the United States of America because this is a weekend that we call Memorial Day weekend. And what's that mean? We're in memoriam of our um you know, we're honoring our fallen and missing um service members of the US armed forces, you know, the Army, the Air Force, uh Marines, um all all of the military branches, um and it's uh for a lot of families, it's a very um you know, very sad weekend for those families. Uh, you know, a lot of times maybe it's a child that lost their mother or father in service and they grew up without grew grew up without one of their parents or it could be uh, you know, could be any uh, relative or family member. And it so there's a while a lot of people view this weekend as the um quote like beginning of summer for a lot of families it's a very tough and sad weekend where um you know they're thinking about their lost their um their family member that has passed away um in service serving this country and protecting our freedoms. So, um, just be, if you're, yeah, doing stuff this weekend, just, you know, uh, take a couple minutes and think about it. Maybe if you're an international viewer, just kind of Google the holiday, you know, just give it five minutes of your day, you know, just learn a little bit. Um, but a very, um, you know, hopefully everyone does have a fun, good weekend, but and the uh, the reality is that's not going to be the case for everybody sadly. So, we're thinking of those families um that are sadly they lost a family member or even a friend, right? It doesn't have to be a family member like let's say one of your best friends from school passed away.

[00:38:55]You're going to be very sad this weekend um for them and their family, right? So, um it impacts a lot of people sadly. Um but we are uh thankful for their service and appreciative of their uh them giving the ultimate sacrifice. So um if you have if you're impacted you know by Memorial Day and have a deceased relative you know we're thinking of you this weekend and appreciate your family service and uh you know sending you um well wishes. So, thank you very much.

[00:39:35]Okay, let's get back to some of the comments, though. Um, Sir Giannis says, "Alden, my my other prediction, Beck will be the next governor of Ohio, man." Sir Yiannis, we first time uh I think Amy Actton's going to win. Not that I want her a win by any means, but um I predicted that she was going to win last year.

[00:40:02]So, um, yeah, let's let's challenge each other again.

[00:40:09]Uh, Fred Lady says, "Everyone remember to like and subscribe, everyone."

[00:40:13]Absolutely. I second that, everyone.

[00:40:16]Please, yeah, if you're enjoying the commentary, enjoying the political analysis. Make sure to leave that uh this live stream a like. Also, check out some of my other videos and past live streams. Um, and subscribe to the channel. Wonderful Wayne, which you can join the Awoken. We're nearing 1,000 subscribers. We're trying to get there.

[00:40:37]Um, rain is starting to pick back up a little bit out here in DC, but that's not going to stop us.

[00:40:44]Uh, Beta says, "All in your heart, nose, and mine also. Trump has done something very terrible along with Epstein. That's why whole Israel lobby went after Massie."

[00:40:55]Yeah, I think so. I'm not like I think with Trump is that it's a Jerry Sanduski situation like with Joe Pno at Penn State.

[00:41:09]All of those rich people, all of those elites in the top circles, I bet they probably knew something about it. I don't know if he did anything necessarily, but he probably knew. Yeah.

[00:41:22]like what are the odds that all of these rich people they're hanging out and they don't know that somebody doesn't spill this secret at least to one person and then it spreads like wildfire maybe um so I think it's more of him knowing about it and everyone just staying tight lipped um but Massie to your point though where I think you are right is that Massie exposed a lot of those people on the list um you know people resigned yeah people were um people had their lives ruined thankfully because of this as Massie mentioned during his concession speech. And back in Massiey's concession speech, it was all about his accomplishments and what uh the movement believes in. Um you know, like I said, you could hardly tell he lost the election and how excited everyone was there. So, um, pretty pretty exciting there. Um, Colonel says, "Can't be angry at, uh, Egg Gow."

[00:42:30]Yeah. Like, honestly, like dude can barely speak. Like, he never debated.

[00:42:35]Like, he never he didn't do anything. He was just some guy. Yeah. He's just some puppet that's going to do whatever they tell him to. Um, so yeah, like what do we know about him? We know that he supports the draft. Uh, he used to be a Navy Seal and that he's a farmer. We know three things about this guy. That's it. Um, yeah, it wasn't about him at all. Um, he he was just kind of the the the crutch guy. It was the donors is what defeated Ed Galine. Did nothing. He just he was just breathing and he would give a fourminute Yeah, he gave a fourminute victory speech for heaven's sakes. The dude Yeah, there's nothing about him.

[00:43:23]He's a manufactured candidate.

[00:43:28]Benny says 60% of billionaires have bunkers are currently building bunkers probably. And then Milk 89 TTV says, "Uh, stop pretending like you liberals care about kids. I'll support the murder of babies per year in America." This is not really a liberal channel. Um, maybe you're trying to talk to liberals in the chat or something. Uh, Christopher says, "Oh, nice." AJ says, "I like Trump." Not you says, "How is it that we keep closing Congress?" Yeah. So, Congress, they won't be back, I think, for two weeks probably. Uh, they left early yesterday.

[00:44:11]Not that they're doing anything anyway, but they left early, go home for Memorial Day weekend. Um, and they'll be gone all next week and probably all the week after that. Um, then they'll be here for a couple of months in June or excuse me, a couple of weeks in June.

[00:44:30]Then they will um be they'll have like another recess in July for um the 250 America 250 4th of July whatever. Um and then they'll be here for a couple weeks in July. Then they'll be gone for all of August because of August recess.

[00:44:59]Then they'll be back uh in September for like maybe that whole month or maybe three weeks and then they probably won't be here in October because of the midterms and then it's over. So like we're really looking at there's about probably six or seven legislative weeks left and they only weren't three days a week. So there's like 20 days of Congress left um for this entire meaningful days for this year. So, um, Randall says Kansas Gov is going Republican. Colorado Gov is going to say Democrat. Someone said numbers point to Oregon Gov going Republican, but I can't believe that one.

[00:45:51]>> Yeah, it's the Oregon governor is more of Tina Cotech being very unpopular out there.

[00:46:08]89 TTV says there's no list. That's BS made up by the left. Benjamin says, "Bye, bro." All right, Benjamin. Have a good weekend. Beta says, "I am also predicting we are going to war again before this year ends due to is Israel.

[00:46:23]My brother told this new name after Massie loss due to Israel.

[00:46:29]Dirty money says good morning Alden into the chat. Morning Dirty Money. Thank you for hopping on our stream this morning.

[00:46:38]Appreciate you being here. Uh not a single person has been incriminated or no charges thought. Um John Cash says he's free and clear of vote against EOP now that he's on the way out. Whoops. Uh, Jeeper says, "Matthew 28, Massie take her party back." 2028.

[00:46:59]Uh, 89 TD says, "Yeah, sorry it wasn't directed at you." Um, 2026 says, "Trump called the FBI after they arrested him and did exactly nothing else." That's a silly debunk magga lie.

[00:47:16]Here, let me get this umbrella back out.

[00:47:20]Starting to screw up the screen a little bit.

[00:47:25]Yeah, there we go. Uh, is Federman going across the aisle after the election?

[00:47:32]He said he hasn't. Um, but from friends that work for like uh Dems in the Senate, uh, they can't stand him. They all want him gone. they don't view him as uh being left leftwing at all. So, hence yeah, they're going to primary him for sure. Um especially with his stance on Israel. Um because anti-Is Israel sentiment, it's growing in the GOP, but it's it's already grown in the Democratic party. Um there was yeah like the war powers resolution Federman is consistently the only Senate DIM that votes with the Republicans um to keep the war going. So that just aren't going to fly for Dems um Democratic primary for sure.

[00:48:33]>> Let's see.

[00:48:38]Jeeper says, "All right, so 89 TTV says Trump 28 and wants Federman over Massie any day."

[00:48:48]Uh, Jeeper says Federman prison 28, Kasich Thun 28. Uh, that's that's gross.

[00:48:57]Uh, not John Kasich or John Thun as a presidential ticket. No way. Uh, Mad Butter says, "Uh, own joke." Casual Mike says, "That's a suit right there." Heck yeah, man. Purple Friday. Thank you for joining the stream, Casual Mike.

[00:49:14]Wonderful to see you, big dog.

[00:49:18]Uh, Mad Better says, "Hey, Alden, how does a 1.8 billion slush fund help you?"

[00:49:25]Uh, yeah, I did see that. Um, read a little more into that as well. Um, >> yeah. Did you guys also catch the uh so on election day the president was uh or at like around 9:40 I think Thomas Massie tweeted out that I'm going to be on Fox News with Dana Pino um at 10:30 tune in. Well, of course, right at 10:30, you have the president uh kind of hijack that time slot and start talking about the ballroom construction. Um I thought we voted for the border wall construction.

[00:50:05]I I would love to see an update of what the southern border wall looks like right now. I'd love to see all that construction, but we all know that's not happening. We all know that was a lie just to get elected. Um, we know where what he's concerned about.

[00:50:23]Dude, he fought harder to unseat Thomas Massie than he is for the border wall.

[00:50:27]Like, just get get used to what's happening.

[00:50:31]Understand what is actually happening.

[00:50:34]Um uh no money ab a business 112 says Apac should register. Sir Giannis says one more observation social media not always reflect the ground reality and the levels of distrust. Access full of bots and warn accounts influent US international politics.

[00:51:02]Yeah, I mentioned a lot of uh the anti-massie vote uh was from boomers. It was from people over the age of 55 or 60 years old, people that just watch Fox News all day. Um they were Yeah, that's who voted for Galine. Massie won every single other demographic under the age of 55. Um, and the younger it got, the higher proportion of the vote he received.

[00:51:40]Uh, let's see.

[00:51:48]Sam says, "Hi, old. What's going on, Sam? Happy purple Friday, dude. Always love seeing you, man." Uh, Yeah, man. It's uh a lot of people I think this woke a lot of people up. It's it's a case study on how it's such an obvious case study on how the system actually works. Like it should like you don't even need a teacher for this. Just watch what happened in this election.

[00:52:22]John McCafferty says, "What? You don't support support three to stamp out anti-semitism.

[00:52:38]Uh Colonel says Schumer McConnell 2028.

[00:52:45]Yeah, I cannot think of a uh a better ticket than that, Colonel.

[00:52:50]Yeah, man. Dude, just have just wheel McConnell. The entire campaign is just Schumer pushing McConnell around in the wheelchair. That's all they do. He just goes retirement home to retirement home.

[00:53:04]They like buy Fox News and they win the election.

[00:53:11]Yeah. They promise to marry Madson, you know, you can have Yeah. We're both You can do whatever you want.

[00:53:21]Uh, John Cash says, "Freedom doesn't know the difference in Kyle Renhouse and the Minnesota nurse who was deleted for concealed carrying.

[00:53:34]John Cash, bro, I like this guy." Uh, Jeeper 1969 says, "Maga has two years left, then they're extinct." Yeah, Colonel Kyle Renhouse was mentioning Nick. I believe that's first time Kyle Renhouse has ever been mentioned on her stream. So, congratulations to John Cash uh for being the first guy to mention uh Kyle Runhouse.

[00:54:02]2026 says, "Studies prove those that watch Fox News are less informed than those who watch no news at all. What is actually happening is kleptocracy."

[00:54:15]Beta says, "Do you support that?" uh $1.8 billion dollar slush fund.

[00:54:26]No, I think they probably have plenty of money. Honestly, I don't see why they need any more money. Um I think they're fine.

[00:54:37]Mercury Mess says, "I don't care what happens. You Kentucky."

[00:54:44]Jack Reacher says, "Trump Trump sees traders, no tax dollars uh to Israel."

[00:54:59]Uh Mercury says, "Ke voting laws are trash anyways. It's a trash state.

[00:55:14]Uh, let's see.

[00:55:19]>> Sam says, "Uh, bro, first we need to remove Lindsey Graham. He is annoying."

[00:55:26]Yeah, he's pretty uh Yeah, I don't think he's much of a help at all. Lily says, "Sad he was a libertarian."

[00:55:37]Lindsay scored F on Liberty score.

[00:55:40]Massie was an A. Yeah, I just don't really get the uh uh Yeah, Massie, he was one of the only members of Congress that cared about the campaign promises from the 24 Trump campaign. I think he's the one that held it held the Epstein uh class accountable. um that opposes the new war in Iran that we were promised that was not going to happen. Um all of this other stuff.

[00:56:23]Uh Randall says, "Whatever happened to plumber Joe?"

[00:56:29]Yeah, not not sure about plumber Joe.

[00:56:31]Haven't heard of uh Joseph Joe Biden a beta says bro members of your family support Massie or not? I didn't really didn't really talk to um don't have any family that's registered to vote. Um in the um yeah, I don't have any family members that live in Kentucky or the district even really. So um not a whole lot not a whole lot to really do there.

[00:57:10]uh RLTW7-95 the DNC is weak.

[00:57:18]Yeah, they Democrats they are still weak and their message is we oppose Trump. So they still don't really have that strong of a message. Um for over a decade or essentially a decade now it's been we're not Donald Trump, vote for us. And uh you know I think they're going to need something a little better than that.

[00:57:50]2026 says MAGA Massie one be owned. MAGA likes their reps to serve uh Trump, not constituents.

[00:58:02]Uh yeah, Lily. that it's been a um there was so much potential with this trifecta and it has been a disappointment.

[00:58:22]Dianis says breaking Germany violence by breaking in Germany violence by settlers in the West Bank has reached an unprecedented scale. together with the United Kingdom, France, and Italy. I call on Israel to end the expansion of settlements. So that's what the German prime minister said.

[00:58:43]Uh 2026 says Joe the plumber was an [ __ ] to Obama and the reception line. So of course the Tea Party loved him.

[00:58:55]And Randall says, "I wish Larry Sharp would come back into the fray."

[00:58:59]Christine is glad that Thomas Massie lost and dirty money says at Jeeper I heard the three dead Muslims in San Diego was all propaganda.

[00:59:16]Jared says, "Our tax funds uh war crime."

[00:59:22]Hey everybody, if you're enjoying enjoying the stream and joining the political discussion you're having uh with somebody in the chat right now, we just love to remind you, please leave the live stream a like. Additionally, while you're at it, might as well hit that subscribe button, too. We host political debates and conversations like this all the time on the stream. We just crossed an hour into this Purple Friday.

[00:59:45]It's been a lot of me monologuing today because there has been a lower. It's been a little rainy day. Um, not as many people uh out here on the mall. All the members left yesterday.

[01:00:01]So, it's going to be tough to get any um get any interviews and it will be for the next week because none of the members are going to be here naturally.

[01:00:12]They're all going to go home. They'll be home for the next week if not two weeks um on recess.

[01:00:36]All right. Yeah, thank you everybody.

[01:00:38]There we go. But yeah, having having a lot of fun. Yeah, Kyle Renhouse was mentioned on the stream for the first time this morning as well. So, um, so yeah, we're having a pretty fun stream today. You know, since it is a little since it's is a little quieter at the capitol today, we'll head to the show you guys the Supreme Court as well.

[01:01:05]Let's go to the Supreme Court for a couple of minutes. Um, we'll chill here.

[01:01:21]Uh 2026.

[01:01:41]Bye-bye. Late Night with Stephen Cobear.

[01:01:46]Robert says, "Everything seems propaganda these days." Sad but true. No pay for shutdowns.

[01:02:08]>> 250 baby. Pretty cool little image right there.

[01:02:16]Uh yeah, it is a feisty morning. Yeah, it is a pretty um everyone is kind of trying to kill each other this morning.

[01:02:28]Oh my gosh. Yeah.

[01:02:32]>> Yeah. Who would have thought that um the Thomas Massie Yeah. post postmortem uh episode would have so much uh um fighting in it.

[01:02:50]>> Um Piper says dims are discussing trash people.

[01:02:58]Um Natalie Brown says non Supreme Court.

[01:03:05]Uh, do you think Maldova referendum will be annexed by Romania to push out Russia which would close out Ukraine/Russia?

[01:03:20]That might be better question for Subie Dubs uh or the Colonel.

[01:03:26]>> I'm actually not too aware of that situation. I don't want to [ __ ] you with some random answer, but the colonel seem to have a pretty good at better understanding of Russia Ukraine than I do. Couple people on the stream um yeah regulars as well.

[01:04:05]Okay, that's gross, dude. Um, Beta says, "Alden, what do you make of halting arm sales to Taiwan by Trump?"

[01:04:18]>> I didn't uh didn't see that actually.

[01:04:21]Um, from what I thought is that nothing was really going to change with that.

[01:04:30]Maybe that is what the situation is, but um, yeah, I'm not really sure.

[01:04:55]I just wonder why people uh stay tuned says uh Alen, you are my guy on the ground. I need updates on what's new so I can buy stock accordingly.

[01:05:17]Awesome, dude. Yeah, I'm here for you.

[01:05:20]Not a whole lot going on now.

[01:05:25]>> But here we're we actually just got to the Supreme Court.

[01:05:29]>> Um of Miami date and investigate properly the way life has to be. We are asking to governor John of Florida to join the petition of attorney general.

[01:06:01]He's asking to be impeached judge Richard in the state of Florida in Miami.

[01:06:09]to be removed from his office immediately.

[01:06:12]>> Not sure what that was about, but attorney general.

[01:06:18]>> What committee interest do you have?

[01:06:23]>> So, uh I think the uh so I like foreign policy, but I'm more Middle East kind of foreign policy like Iran, uh Israel and the proxy wars there. Um I'm also interested in US elections as well. Um so like power dynamics, uh coalition building, voting, that stuff excites me to learn about and study.

[01:06:55]Um also like I'm uh I guess some personal like I'm an immigration hawk. Um I'm a border hawk. as well. Um, like when I worked in the Senate, I was I worked with my senator on the health, education, labor, and pensions committee.

[01:07:22]Um, so healthc care is um issue I find kind of interesting still a little bit.

[01:07:37]here. Let's go to stay tuned. It says, "What are your DC contacts saying there will be ground invasion?" Haven't heard that yet. I don't see the thing is the president, he's kind of squeezed, I think, with that too. I don't know what the next play is there. It's been kind of stuck for like 50 days now. So, I'm not sure what they're going to do next.

[01:08:25]Damn. 2026 is coming after the colonel as well.

[01:08:29]126 is feeling low emboldened today.

[01:08:39]Uh AOC and the colonel says though AOC just never had a strong male figure in her life. Most liberal women fall under that category.

[01:08:51]Uh let's see.

[01:08:57]And then yeah, stay tuned. You are correct. Yeah, money is huge in US politics and 2026 as the colonel makes up [ __ ] as he goes along. My dad was a World War II vet who raised nine liberal children and were all successful. Boohoo.

[01:09:17]H 2026. for you. Uh I guess you're what would age maybe like 50 years old.

[01:09:32]Uh Dirty Money says Kennedy said AOC is just another Omar but with better bartending skills. Yeah, Kennedy does have some pretty funny some funny uh comments from time to time.

[01:09:47]Boomers ruin the country. That will be your legacy.

[01:10:09]We're going to have a Treasury Fed accord here in two years.

[01:10:18]Not sure.

[01:10:28]Uh Sam says, "Breaking news. British army conducts World War II simulation against Russia set in 2030.

[01:10:42]Stay tuned." It says, "If Thomas Massie lost, why don't they just pay get rid of AOC.

[01:10:51]Well, look at what some of her recent votes as well.

[01:10:57]It's all about their voting record and some of their public comments.

[01:11:03]Was AOC like a champion for the Epstein Files Transparency Act?

[01:11:10]No, I don't think she was anywhere to be found.

[01:11:15]Sam says, "I personally think some big war is uh coming within the next decade."

[01:11:25]Yikes. Yeah, that would be frightening.

[01:11:30]Uh Colonel asks, "Why is the UK flexing?

[01:11:33]They've decreased their military every year for the last decade.

[01:11:41]They have more admirals than ships. Then Randall asked postgrump meeting did they pick up more US Treasury bonds?

[01:11:52]I didn't read anything that signaled a yes, but there could have been some some agreement. Um, I know the president mentioned that he wanted to conduct more business uh and selling oil to China. Um, but haven't seen anything about bonds though, but I did see did see oil. The president did specifically mention oil.

[01:12:24]Robert says AOC for Senate. Yeah, that's her next move. I um what Schumer, he's due up in 28, right? So, um yeah, AOC, all she's got to do is get reelected this fall and then she's in prime prime position.

[01:12:48]Huh. Yeah.

[01:12:50]Uh Sir Yannis says, "Breaking breaking news. Cuba is a national security threat to the US. Uh Rubio says who BBC.

[01:13:12]>> So let's see. All right. So, what we need to do is that every time someone says breaking news, we need like um some kind of like noise to play or something that makes it look like I don't know like everyone knows breaking news and I'll read the breaking news.

[01:13:34]Yeah, we'll have to think of something here.

[01:13:41]Uh 2026 says, "These MAGA people are obsessed with AOC and they want to they prefer that AOC would be a candidate in the US Senate uh primary.

[01:14:10]I don't know why these people are screaming over here, but someone Yeah, someone probably got deported.

[01:14:34]Yeah, Randall, I think you make a good point, especially the way uh we talked about this on one of the shows last week is that the way that Rubio has been kind of feels like he's been not s kind of sidelined or at least hidden from some of this big stuff.

[01:15:21]Amen.

[01:15:24]Hi have no idea what the [ __ ] they're saying.

[01:15:44]Yeah. Like I can't [ __ ] help you if I don't understand you. So, um, okay.

[01:15:59]>> But yeah, back to Rubio, like his, um, speech in Munich at the Munich Security Conference. Um, I thought that was a pretty big tell on, um, some of his motives. That sounded like a presidential speech. Um, And the way they're having him um where they're placing him is strategic.

[01:16:45]There we go.

[01:16:53]Uh yeah, right. Colonel interview for London money went better than AOC's interview.

[01:17:02]Uh common sense the cure says this is the United States. The host language is English. Speak it.

[01:17:14]Uh, Robert says, "Trump in this admin for prison 2026, this dirty is married to a therapist. She must like to work at home." Sir Yiannis says, "Breaking breaking news. 45 billion has been wiped from Turkeykey's stock market in just eight days. This is huge amount of money for a country like Turkey." Wow.

[01:17:39]Yeah. One. Yeah. Do you know what happened?

[01:17:47]Uh, purple Ferrari Ferrari. Uh, the car guy 2012, thank you for joining the stream this morning. Uh, the car guy join 26 says, "Dirty, thanks. Honoring one's fathers living through their legacy. No, darling. You You're thinking of the Trump uh carb bunkles who live off daddy's money and get illegal deals from the Pentagon. We want to stay an American, but we're bothered. Can learn English.

[01:18:32]Dirty money says no. asking you 2026 zero to show for life except except a mortgage.

[01:19:10]Stay tuned. It says Alden, what's your thought on current state of things? What's your advice? How do we get rich?

[01:19:28]Investing, I think, is just saving money. Like a lot of it is. If you just do do it for like three days, um just write down like how much you spend at lunch. Like if at work, like if Yeah. If we're buying if we're spending 15 $20 for lunch, then that's just that's going to kill um eat like making uh bringing lunch like having a making your own coffee as well.

[01:20:02]Like if you get one $4 cup of coffee every week that's you know um 20 and then that's 80 bucks a month just on coffee you know that's might as well you can buy uh a machine at that rate. Might as well just buy a machine. Um so just find ways to reduce the amount of money you spend. Just think the way you can I think about a lot of stuff in life whether it's working out or money is like the electoral college. Um just think of it when a candidate loses or a state is flipped in the electoral college. You're not only losing the states you or the votes you just had the candidate it's a double whammy. Your candidate the opponent gets them as well. Um, so think of it like working out. Yeah.

[01:21:00]If you, you know, go on a run today and eat healthy, you know, you win the electoral college that day. But if you, the next day you spend a bunch of money and get really drunk and gain all that weight back and now you're sick, um, you spend all that money on alcohol. That's like the state flips back and you you're down all that money and now you're ill and not feeling good. Um, and you get fat because of of the beer.

[01:21:30]So, think of it like that. It's a good way to save start saving >> that is through 2026. I am pretty um we are free speech absolutist here. We don't really kick people. So, you know, we are this is a right-wing channel ultimately, but we are tolerant of dissensing voices um and opinions.

[01:22:08]>> Yes, we do value debate and dialogue. Um Summer and you were still wearing the suit. You're going to have a heat stroke. Yeah. Luckily, it is uh >> rainy rainy today. So, avoiding any major sweating today.

[01:22:38]Look at everybody waiting in line to go to the capital or some one of those ponchos or an umbrella, any of that stuff.

[01:23:08]Well, I mean like 2026 like um like we would be kicked out like we would be kicked out of a liberal stream though for sharing our views.

[01:23:18]I think that's what the colonel is trying to say.

[01:23:34]>> Yeah. Alcohol. Uh and today is kind of a uh correct. Yeah. Yeah. Pierre, you are right. It is a uh No, it's going to be I got a feeling it's going to be a humid summer this summer. So, I'm not really looking forward to all the heat and humidity. It's so, you know, it's tolerable for a period of time, but not for a long period of time.

[01:24:05]How bad does Foggy Bottom get?

[01:24:08]Uh, you know, I'm not in that neighborhood all that much. It's kind of on the other side of the especially from where where we are right now. It's the whole other side of the city. Now with Congress being in recess the next couple of weeks, we probably won't do all of our streams by the capital. We'll kind of continue our exploring tour of seeing other neighborhoods in the city walking around there.

[01:24:56]But in terms of crime though, it's not really known for being a crime riddled with crime or uh troublemakers.

[01:25:05]That's becoming Navyyard. Navyyard. Um after the stream, Twitter, go on Twitter and uh Google um Navyyard Chipotle and you'll see about two dozen youth throwing chairs. Like, dude, you would have thought it was like gladiators trying to kill each other with the furniture and that Chipotle and Navyyard. Um go check that out. That's Navyyard is where all the troublemakers are right now.

[01:25:52]>> Exactly, Colonel. Yeah, very classic uh behavior. Putt King says, "Hi." Good morning, Putt King.

[01:26:06]Yeah, Foggy. Yeah, Foggy Bomb. It's not really known for being bad or uh anything like that really.

[01:26:16]Um man, Mad Butters, Mad Butters is coming after me, bro. See, thing is we've been so nice to all the liberals on the chat. They're since we haven't banned anybody, they're now teaming up.

[01:26:31]They're trying to take over the channel.

[01:26:55]All right. Well, um, leftists then maybe not liberals, leftists.

[01:28:41]Um they're still drawing. Is that in which uh in particular? I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Um, are you talking about just like how the House of Representatives are all the states are are kind of redistricting or is this something like and DC you mentioned? I'm just not Yeah. Can you help me narrow down your question, please?

[01:29:12]>> Uh, Uprise says, "The only reason I'm upset he lost is because of Israel. Him losing that spot proved that Israel can spend $30 million and buy a congressional seat.

[01:29:32]Mad butters. Um Oh my gosh.

[01:29:48]I thought it was Mad Butters the entire It's been Mud Butters. I've been calling you the wrong name for like months. Oh, I feel so bad now. No.

[01:30:04]Oh no.

[01:30:06]I'm so sorry, Mud Butters.

[01:30:10]I truly am. Oh no.

[01:30:17]Dude, it wasn't until Dirty Mike said atmud I was like, "Huh?" Then Oh, whoopsie.

[01:30:28]Uh, let's see though. Okay, Randall says, "Yes, read disc routine overall numbers across 50 states."

[01:30:35]Not uh >> uh not specific to a certain state, just overall.

[01:30:53]Not today.

[01:31:06]So, I think it's going to be about close to even. Maybe the GOP, they're able to net a seat or two out of it. I think it just depends on what some of these southern states do. So, not everything is done. Alabama is going to flip a seat. Mississippi is not. Louisiana is flipping one. Florida is going to try flip three or four.

[01:31:30]Um, Georgia, nothing happening there.

[01:31:33]Um, South Carolina, I think they're trying.

[01:31:38]I'm not sure if they're going to be able to do it.

[01:31:41]Um, and then Tennessee, they're flipping one. So, the South is where a lot of the GO and Texas and the South as well is where a lot of the GOP seats are going to be coming through. Um, and for the Dems out west, they got a seat in Utah.

[01:32:03]um a seat, five seats in California. Um they try to get four in Virginia. They got shot down though. Um, so it's going to yeah be close to even the biggest seats um that are going to decide who does have the majority though. Nebraska 02. Uh Colorado's 8th district. There's going to be a um there's a couple house seats in Arizona, A01, A06.

[01:32:50]Um there's going to be a couple in Michigan.

[01:32:59]Pennsylvania has a couple of seats that will be big for dims. Dems will need a when there's four seats that they can probably get, they need at least two, three to be safe.

[01:33:13]Um, and really that's all there not that many competitive seats anymore because every state's redrawing um all of the seats.

[01:33:25]So the majority party in these states are just basically making the seats totally safe for the majority party and it's reducing competition um across the country.

[01:33:45]Uh yes, redistricting.

[01:33:52]Deborah says, "Manga will win in the next generations to come because even if Democrat becomes president, they can't reverse what Trump has done internationally." Hey Deborah, thank you for joining the stream today. Appreciate you being here.

[01:34:11]Um, Mud and Dirty getting after in the chat section.

[01:34:19]And along with Jeeper, Jeeper 1969 been a a new uh maybe a new fan of the show.

[01:34:27]Nice to meet you today.

[01:34:30]Ace Tone 84 says, "Who got five seat?"

[01:34:35]Who got five seats in Cali? Curious. Uh, Dem. So, with redistricting, the Dems redistricted uh five seats in California to go their way >> to where they'll flip automatically essentially. But, um that was in response to Texas doing five seats in Texas. Um so, that was just a cancel. Um but then some of the smaller states started doing it as well. Um And that has kind of created the nuclear, you know, the um proliferation kind of an arms race.

[01:35:25]Uh let's see.

[01:35:32]Well, I don't think I don't know if the Virginia redistricting will because it got shot down by the Supreme Court. Um, so what do they have to like ho? Yeah.

[01:35:45]Do they have to host another referendum or something now or like I don't know if there's enough time because Yeah. It's already middle of May. We're coming up on June now. We're really entering later May. Um it's almost June and midterms are in November. So midterms are looming now. Midterms are going to be something that are pro probably something in the comment section will start mentioning every single day now um at some point.

[01:36:19]So midterms are going to be pretty um pretty important coming up.

[01:36:36]Uh, Mud Butter says, "Speak on Maryland." Allen.

[01:36:40]Um, Mud says, "Hang on.

[01:36:54]How much Republican representation you have in Maryland?" Laughing face emoji.

[01:37:00]Well, I think there's what? One seat. I think with maybe a chance on a really good Republican year for two seats. I'm not in Maryland though.

[01:37:16]>> Yeah, no problem, brother. Yeah, happy to explain, man.

[01:37:27]One, I think.

[01:37:32]Yeah, I think there's one seat.

[01:37:45]>> Uh, well, I don't think Maryland Wait. Oh, we we have no representation now in Maryland.

[01:38:03]What's going on? Sunset Farm, Arizona.

[01:38:05]Yeah, Massie Carlson. That would be a base ticket. Yeah, that would be an an exciting ticket to vote for.

[01:38:15]Yeah, I don't think John Yeah, Jeep, you're not going to get people excited for John Kasich. He's old and people don't really like him.

[01:38:24]It needs to be somebody younger.

[01:38:29]He's Yeah, Kasich. He's probably seen us way too establishment also.

[01:38:59]Hey, what up? My own name says, "Hi, Awoke Man Island." Yeah, dude. Hope you're doing doing well.

[01:39:07]Yeah, thanks for popping into the Friday stream, man, that we're here. Just just about crossed the uh one of the Library of Congress buildings here.

[01:39:24]Jeepers says, "Alex Jones pays back the parents 2028." Lots of campaign slogans today. A lot of people are fired up for 2028. Man, we got to make it through the midterms first. Yeah, we can't be talking about the president presidential election on the stream until we got the uh the midterms figured out. See who's going to uh have control of the chambers of Congress um after this uh cycle.

[01:40:03]Let's see. Candace Owens as press based.

[01:40:08]That That would actually be hilarious.

[01:40:10]Yeah.

[01:40:12]Alex Jones as press secretary.

[01:40:27]Uh, >> that's true.

[01:40:38]>> I think that's a great point, Damon.

[01:40:39]Yeah, if the Republicans can't even get the Save Act through, then it's going to the base is not uh a lot of the more principled, let's say Massie of the base like that 46% that voted uh for Massie, that's going to be tough to get them out in the midterms if there's no sayback for sure.

[01:41:03]So, I think Damon makes a good point there.

[01:41:27]Robert said definitely need some younger blood in politics. Yeah, need need new generation of people.

[01:41:35]Yeah, I agree. Sunset Farm. Alex Jones or Candace Owens. That would be a pretty fun d uh duo. They can tag team. They they each a couple days a week or something.

[01:42:06]Well, yeah, that's a good point. That's why all this stuff needs to be passed by the legislative body. The GOP, they have the trifecta and they're not really passing that many laws.

[01:42:21]>> They need to be Yeah. if they want this stuff to survive. um they need to make this stuff law, especially with the border and immigration. Right now, all of this stuff uh are just executive orders that will immediately be overturned.

[01:42:40]um if someone like Gavin Newsome wins in uh 2028 for example.

[01:42:56]So yeah, this they need uh, you know, maybe instead of focusing on the ballroom so much or unseeding Thomas Massie, maybe they should be trying to get some of this stuff in the law. You know, maybe if they fought as hard for the campaign promises than they are for removing Massie and with this ballroom, uh, things would be a little different.

[01:50:22]Well, you don't have to be on it all day. You can just check it like Yeah.

[01:50:27]Just like just think of it as like a second message app.

[01:50:34]I promise you'll like it.

[01:50:37]I'm storming the reflective. The reflective.

[01:50:42]Yeah. Go make some splash around.

[01:50:48]Splash around. Try to like make all the ducks the ducks run.

[01:50:53]Okay, dude. I swear if like one of those um wait, hang on. Uh Ace Tone 84, American flag mojo with bald eagle. Yes, sir. Yeah, man. Yeah, dude. Thanks for joining the stream today. A tone 84 at speaking of Ace. So, the reason behind my purple is I went to a uh the university I went to uh we were the Evansville Purple Aces actually. Um so, Ace, yeah, always love anything Ace related, even though it may not probably doesn't have to do with Ace Purple, our mascot. Um always something I am able look out for pretty well.

[01:51:57]Beta says, "Om, can you tell us just two things we achieved in the China summit?"

[01:52:05]This one might not be an achievement, but there was probably the biggest thing was probably the shared updates slash timeline both countries were comfortable sharing with each other when it came to the formoose situation.

[01:52:25]Um, like here, I'll just show you gas right now. Here's a gas station across the street.

[01:52:31]It's 629.

[01:52:33]for unled than at 659 699.

[01:52:39]So gas is not lowering down anytime soon. So I bet there was some at least discussion achieved with the straight of horm situation. Oil um I'm sure there was discussion about Taiwan. Maybe not an agreement but discussion about Taiwan. So maybe not uh maybe not long-term achievements, but definitely good to get a a what? Yeah, think of it as kind of like a welfare check, a geopolitical welfare check. All it was is what both sides were meeting and just kind of seeing where both sides stood on a a numerous amount of issues.

[01:53:24]So maybe nothing concrete, but a lot of stepping stones. I think.

[01:53:45]>> Thanks, brother. I appreciate you, man.

[01:53:47]>> Yeah.

[01:53:48]>> Yes, sir.

[01:53:56]>> Yeah, man. Uh, dude, trust me, the purple shorts rock and they get the compliments, dude.

[01:54:31]Heck yeah, man. We're big pimping.

[01:54:34]Yeah, big pimp. I'mma listen to that Jay-Z song once I go.

[01:54:47]Department of Education has been a joke for decades.

[01:54:56]Uh let's see. All right. So, let's let's go for one more minute. I won't read comments, but I'm kind of in and leaving closing. Um so, today on the stream, we just kind of did my monologue about what Thomas Massiey's election defeat uh signals for the country, what it means for our elections.

[01:55:20]um some takeaways, some positive stuff we can look forward to. Um maybe not a whole lot of it, but we also diagnosed some of the problems I believe and maybe ways we can fix in the future to help our um movement progress. Um as well, additionally had a lot of fun debate time with you guys today. That's always fun. Um, and then yeah, about 91 of you guys have voted um, in the poll and 63% of you guys are sad that Thomas Massie lost his seat.

[01:56:04]Um, which is not surprising. Yeah, I think a lot of people are upset for sure after that one.

[01:56:12]Um, and then what else is going on?

[01:56:18]Yeah, we talked about Memorial Day weekend, the meaning behind Memorial Day weekend as well. Um, so hopefully you guys caught some of that. And really that's all I kind of wanted to say this morning. Um, we might be doing some live streaming month there. I think there's a big like parade downtown. Maybe we can live stream the Memorial Day parade. Um, something like that.

[01:56:46]Um, might be a quieter weekend, but we'll just kind of see.

[01:56:52]Um, and then yeah, so that's all I wanted to cover today. So, unless if anyone has any last second questions, I think we're going to end it here. Just one last reminder, please to make sure you have liked the video, also you that you're subscribed to the channel.
