Thomas Massey, for a few 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.440 minutes to start off tonight. We'll have some other stuff, 0:00:55.480 --> 0:01:00.000 but right now this is the important thing. Congressman Massey, Thomas, 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:00.960 how are you, sir? 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.480 I'm doing great, Cary, Jeff. Good to hear from you. 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:09.320 I'm not tired of winning yet, but I did have 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.679 a big win here recently. I got the Epstein Files 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.360 Transparency Act passed in the House by a vote of 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.760 four hundred and twenty seven to one, and it passed 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:23.120 the Senate unanimously, which means one hundred to zero, and 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:29.240 the President signed it immediately. And just today the second 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:34.600 judge has ruled that they will release grand jury material 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:39.560 that they had previously not released. There was a judge 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.720 in Florida with the old Epstein case who ruled that 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.319 he would release all the grand jury material. And then 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.000 today to a judge who's over the Maxwell case, the 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.960 recent Maxwell Gallaine Maxwell case, ruled that he will release 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.680 the material. And it's all because this bill passed and 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.640 then the deal. There's a third judge of the recent 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.000 Epstein case in New York. We're waiting to hear what 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.400 he's going to do, but we suspect since two federal 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.560 judges have already said, look, Massey got the Epstein Files 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.480 Transparency Act passed, This changes everything. We're going to release 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.000 our materials. So we're waiting on that third judge what 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.840 he will do. But in reality, the bulk of the 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:25.080 material is at the DOJ, not in and the FBI 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.320 not in this grand jury material. 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.920 All right, So here here's my question. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.640 What about protections from some of the victims who don't 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.760 want their names or their stories released. 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.120 I mean, that is that still redacted. Is that still 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:40.880 blocked out. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.320 Thomas, Yeah, that's written into our bill. We have a 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.880 provision to allow for reactions of victims. Now, you can't 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.600 redefine victim as some you know, man who's going to 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.399 be embarrassed because he went to the Epstein Island. That's 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:59.760 not a victim, but any woman who was sex trafficked 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.799 or or girl for that man, or some of these 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:07.160 females we're fourteen years old. All of those names will 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.720 be redacted. And the judge who announced today he's going 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.840 to release the grand jury material in the Glenne Maxwell 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.720 case said that he's taking extra care to keep the victims' 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.720 names redacted. 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:25.320 President Trump today or this evening, spoke in Pennsylvania at 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.720 one of those campaign style rallies that he likes to 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:34.880 do when he's running, to tout the plans that and 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.760 the things this administration has done to make life more affordable. 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:43.040 The new a word in Washington, his affordability. You know, 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:47.440 it started with the zoh Ranmandani promise of everything for 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:52.000 free to every New Yorker that voted for him, which 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:56.560 we know is illogical and can't happen unless it's some 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:01.800 communist country. But what should the government role be in 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:03.680 affordability in the first place? 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:04.280 Thomas? 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.720 How should the government be able to help people afford 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:12.720 things that they need in their lives? Well, well, you 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.200 know what you broke up there, Thomas. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.640 Oh, I'm sorry, can you hear me? 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.640 Yeah? So, so answer affordability. 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.400 Ye, let me start with what they shouldn't do. They 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.640 should not do price fixing. You can't go in and 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.080 say the price is going to be this, No, because 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.880 the government doesn't know. The free market knows what the 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.560 price should be. The government can make sure that the 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.400 rules are written so that there's competition. We don't have 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.960 affordability in the supermarket right now for meat because there's 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.120 four meat packers that control eighty five percent of the 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.719 meat that you can buy there. So one thing we 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.680 could do for affordability is Past My Prime Act, which 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:57.120 would allow farmers to use local processors, mom and pop processors, 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:02.000 and sell their beef and port locally directly and bypass 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:07.040 that oligarchy of meat processors. Okay, so one thing, that's 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.760 one thing we can do, and you do that by 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:14.720 lowering regulations, not no regulations, but right size the regulations. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.960 Right now, we've got scale prejudicial regulations, which means the 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.279 big guys love the regulation because it keeps the little 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.000 guys out. But the main thing we can do for affordability, 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.719 Gary Jeff, is to quit spending so much frickin money 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:33.800 we don't have and printing it. Inflation is insane. And 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.000 then you've got that, you know, the US government is 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:42.159 competing for capital because we're borrowing so much money, and 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:46.520 they're the ones driving up interest rates. So affordability means 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.920 how much interest are you paying on your mortgage and 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.480 your car. And it also means is what's your real 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:57.479 wage after inflation every year? So that's what we should 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.440 be doing, spending less money so that we're not causing 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:01.360 so much inflation. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.360 So the FED should lower the interest rates, right. 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.440 I don't think the FED should exist. 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.840 I agree with and we've had that conversation before. But 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.839 as long as they do exist, they should lower the 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:15.640 interest rates. 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.080 They can lower interest rates. But here's what's happened. The 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:26.200 foreign sovereign wealth funds that typically buy US debt have 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.520 decided that four percent is not enough interest because we 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.560 monetize too much of our debt and diluted, we're promising 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.320 to pay back anybody who buys Treasury bonds with US 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.680 dollars fifteen years from now, and they're saying, well, we 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.880 don't think four percent is a good deal because we 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.080 think you're going to inflate your dollar more than that 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.880 year over year, and in fifteen years we will have 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:53.760 not made any returns. So the FED could lower rates, 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.800 but will the market follow those rates? Not really the 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.200 Fed's ability to control interest. It's like a control stick 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.240 that's connected with a rubber band and they've got that 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.640 band stretched. You could stretch it some more and try 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.360 to bring the rates down, but they're not in total control. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.960 Talking to Thomas Massey, Congressman Thomas Massey, my congressman, the 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.000 guy vote for every two years, planning on doing it 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.240 again unless he really really steems me in the next 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.680 few minutes. No, Thomas here. So here's the thing. What 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:32.160 about the so called double tap? These boats, these drug boats, 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:39.040 according to the Administration narco terrorism vehicles in international waters 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.760 they are unflagged. Does the President have the right to 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.560 do what he is doing and the Department of Defense 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.440 or Department of War have the right to do what 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.080 they are doing in open international waters if they've got 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.080 the intel and they know these people are transporting drugs 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.200 to the United States because it's a threat to our country, 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.920 a security threat. Do you believe that the President and 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:03.800 the Department of Defense have the right to do what 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:04.360 they're doing. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.160 Well, sorry for the bad pun, but the water is 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.000 a little murky here. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.760 It's all the cocaine in the water that's the problem. 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:22.880 Yeah, the sharks are really listen. When when we go 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.880 after terraces in the Middle East or elsewhere, there's an 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.840 AUMF that authorizes authorization to use the military force. It's 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.880 called the Global War on Terror and it was done 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.560 long before I got to Congress, and it's still in effect. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.719 And so it's for al Qaeda and associates. But Congress 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.560 authorized that and declared those to be terrorists and that 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.040 the president could do those things. There's actually no such 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:55.480 authorization for what's going on in Venezuela. And the concern 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.240 that I have and Senator Ran Paul has too, is 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:02.880 that this is more than about the cocaine. It's certainly 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.760 not about fentanyl. Fentanyl doesn't come from Venezuela. You know, 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.120 why aren't we under the same rules you could attack 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:14.440 boats from Mexico or boats from China to Mexico delivering 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.760 the precursors for fentanyl. If that, if you're allowed to 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.120 bomb any boat that's got drugs on it, yeah, it 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.000 gets and it gets murky because and I'm not taking 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.400 up for anybody who's running drugs in the Caribbean at all, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.480 but the double tap gets murky because this is somewhere 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:40.439 between a military exercise and a police exercise. I talked 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:46.480 to veterans who said, you know, in Afghanistan or Iraq, 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.839 if you blew up a convoy and there were some survivors, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.840 you know, let's say a military convoy with machine guns 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.839 and tanks and whatever, you go back and you take 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.560 them all out. You don't go in and arrest them. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.480 I think what's what leaves a bad taste in people's mouths, 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.400 and mine included here is that this is somewhere between 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.760 a military action and a police action. And if you 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.840 were a police and you were pulling over a drug 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.240 you say you were doing a drug bust, and you 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:22.120 had disabled the drug dealer's ability to distribute the drugs, 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.880 maybe destroyed all the drugs, and they were still the 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.960 car driver or the boat driver or whatever. I'm not 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.160 saying they're innocent, but there are different degrees of culpability. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.079 The police wouldn't go back and put double taps in everybody. 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.400 So this is that's why this is murky. Okay, there's 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:47.800 a there's not a congressional authorization. The premise here that 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.400 I think is a little bit disingenuous. I do think 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.160 that the president is trying to and the State Department 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:02.840 is trying to exact regime change in vent and this 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.959 is somewhat of a police action that's been categorized as 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.280 a military action and it's being carried out by the military. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:11.319 I got you. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.120 I don't think that anybody, I don't think that Pete 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:18.600 Hegseth should be drummed out of office or arrested for 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.040 international war crimes for what they're doing. I understand that you, 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.560 as you well stated, it's a murky situation without the 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:31.240 authorization of Congress, but they do have some power. 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:31.439 To do it. 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:37.320 The Supreme Court is deciding whether these tariffs can be 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.040 kept in place that the Trump administration. I know you've 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.800 been an anti tariff guy for the most part so far. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.720 What do you think think we should I think we 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.040 should vote on them, by the way, if we could 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.160 go back to the first one hundred and fifty years 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.000 of this country, where we didn't have an income tax. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.960 We didn't have an income tax until the sixteenth Amendment 0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:58.920 was passed. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.720 Nineteen thirteen or something like that. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.880 And yes, very bad years FED came into existence, the 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:10.520 income tax came into existence, and they began direct electing 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:15.040 senators and senators and quit working for the states. They 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:20.200 became basically a house of representatives that run every six years. Anyways, 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.439 those were three bad things that happened in nineteen thirteen. 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.920 But if we can go back prior to nineteen thirteen, 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.360 over ninety percent of our revenue came from tariffs and 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.640 there was no income tax, and I would be okay 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.760 with going back to that. It's not that I'm against tariffs. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.600 You'll get Honestly, you're going to get less of whatever 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.040 you tax. So if you tax a person's labor, you 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.800 probably do less labor or they're less inclined to do 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.200 the labor. If you tax consumption of foreign goods, there'll 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.040 be less consumption of foreign goods. And I think trade 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.120 is good, but I'm not like a religious zealot about 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.920 free trade. You got to collect the money somewhere, all right. 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:05.200 But here's the thing Congress has in specifically, the House 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.839 of Representatives has the taxing authority. That's in the Constitution. 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.840 It says that the Congress shall set the taxes, an 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.440 any bill dealing with taxes has to originate in the House. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.160 Even well, if you think about the context in which 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.440 that was written, the founding fathers anticipated that taxes would 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:30.800 be tariffs and exercise taxes on products, and so they 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.120 always intended for Congress to weigh in. So the question 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:39.320 is can the president using authority delegated to him in 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:44.960 the seventies nineteen seventies by Congress. Was Congress allowed to 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:48.520 delegate that to him? And is he using that appropriately? 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:53.400 Here's what I think they might say. They might say that, yes, 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.680 the power resides in Congress, but Congress is sitting there 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.080 doing nothing. They haven't taken a vote on it in 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:03.400 the House, hm, and so Congress has abdicated their role 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.839 in this. They might the Supreme Court might say that 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.160 and leave that authority to the president. I don't know 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.400 what they're going to say, but I know that the 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.480 Constitution says that we should be voting on these things 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.679 in the House. And if they would give me a 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.840 vote that says, Okay, for every dollar of tariff we collect, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:26.520 we're going to reduce the income tax on individuals. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.920 I vote for that, and I would be happy that 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:30.800 you were voting for that. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:35.720 Thomas Massey, thank you so much for your time, and 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.040 get back on your trip to Washington, d C. 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:39.120 Do some good work. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.640 All right, We're headed there, Thanks Garry, Jeff. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:43.080 Thank you. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:43.960 Ah. 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:50.720 Yes, Thomas Massey running again for the fourth district seat 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.040 in the House of Representatives, and I am going to 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:58.600 vote for him again.

That's what 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:05.960 I want to know. 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:07.960 I would have to say that I made a commitment 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:12.080 to myself New Year's last year, last year that I 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.200 would not miss because I used to do the deal. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.840 I used to run. I at least a love running, 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.840 and I ran in a couple of flying pigs and 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:21.919 you know ten k's and everything, the whole deal. But 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:23.200 I've did a lot of them. I used to run 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.880 every single day at the Cincinnati Athletic Club indoors. And 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.840 then I had some problems with my hip, and then 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:31.639 I had some problems with my other hip, and I 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.239 had two hip surgeries, and I asked the doctor can 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.359 I continue running? And he already says to me, yeah, 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.159 of course you can, but if you do, you'd be 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.520 coming back to see me again. So I was kind 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.320 of at a loss for like what to do, and summertime. 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.360 I love to swim, so swimming was great, and even 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.800 said swimming was good. But I got myself one of 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.080 those bikes, and at the beginning of the year I started, 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.320 and I honestly, I don't think I've missed ten days. Really, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.720 I don't think I missed ten days since the first 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.960 of the year. I do an hour and fifteen minutes 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.440 every single day, and most of the days I try 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.560 to do it at four o'clock in the afternoon, so 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.160 I do it well.
