You, I've sat through now almost two years of hearings in this Congress where we've exposed lies at the CDC, shortcuts at the FDA, unconstitutional gun bans at the ATF, over prosecution of January 6ers at the DOJ, targeting common citizens at the FBI, spying by the NSA, illegal mandates for livestock by the USDA, targeting transgenic plant vaccine at the NSF, and censorship. The sensor industrial complex, of which the NSF is part of.
Most Democrats are just fine with this kind of totalitarian state that the bureaucrats are pushing on us. But Republicans at least pretend to be against these things. But what are we going to do this September? We're going to fund every freaking one of those things that we have exposed. It sets up a fake fight that we all know here is fake. Somebody come down here and tell me it's not fake. You all know it's fake. The compromise has already been reached in a smokefilled back room here. But that's what it is. It's political theater, folks. We all know where it ends up. We've seen it. I've been here 12 years. I've seen it 12 times. I refuse to be a thespian in this failure theater. Can we be honest with the American people about what's going on here? This is political theater.
I'm sort of in a, I would say, a different category than president's consultants have spent $1.8 million against me. And and Trump called me three times on the floor of the House. I'm coming at you like you've never seen. Never in your life before have you seen the way in which I will come at you. I'm more popular than you in Kentucky and you know it. And you're going to lose.
[Music]
It's all posturing. It's fake fighting. We all know where it ends up. This is Groundhog Day. I don't care if the Democrat is the speaker or Republican is the speaker. It's good theater. We've got great writers. I wish they'd just come up with a new plot. I got in my car and I drove 8 hours and they're like, "Shit, Massie's going to do it." They went to the parliamentarian and they're like, "Is there any way around this?" And he's like, "Nope, Massie's right. The Constitution requires a quorum." Mr. Speaker, I came here to make sure our republic doesn't die by unanimous consent in an empty chamber and I request a recorded vote. The truth, if you're willing to report it, is they don't want a recorded vote. They don't want to be on record of making the biggest mistake in history.
[Music]
This is the second time you've done something like this. And they talked me out of it before, but not this time. And then I had, he said he thought it was the second time. I've done that like eight times since he was president. You just started realizing it's the same guy.
>> Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk to change the title of the bill to a bill to kick the can down the road and for other purposes.
>> This bill is just the first step, a down payment. Why do we always spend at least as much as we did last year? And why do we never cut spending? This bill is a debt bomb ticking. We're not rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic tonight. We're putting coal in the boiler and setting a course for the iceberg. If something is beautiful, you don't do it after midnight. I think the Federal Reserve absolutely needs to be audited. They really exceeded any kind of constitutional authority that they should be given. It is poison. When you print money, it is poison to our economy. The principle is called dilution. And when you print $5 trillion and you put it into the economy, you have diluted the value of the money. The the principle is so simple that a child can understand.
His third tweet was, "He's darling on guns." It's like, "What? Where did that come from? Have you seen my Christmas card picture?"
>> Take the firearms first and then go to court. I like taking the guns early.
>> My question is, is this receiver legal or not? Because your bill is ambiguous. The people who own guns, which is the majority of Americans, are starting to see through this.
>> We're knocking out bump stocks. I've told the NRA, I've told bump stocks a gun.
>> What he's showing us here is not a bump stock. Would the Democrats be amenable if and when they find out that that's not a bump stock? Like if they could use Wikipedia or a picture, would anybody over there be amenable if they found out? And you will eventually. The internet's going to help you here in about five minutes.
>> Okay, I'll bring it down.
>> All right, folks.
>> I've got a bill to repeal.
>> I worked in a school for 20 years.
>> You're just screaming.
>> I was a teacher.
>> I was screaming here to protect us.
>> I believe the kids should have somebody to protect them.
>> I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness, and mayhem.
>> We are going to the Capitol. It's that direction. We are going to the Capitol. That's where our problems. We are going to the Capitol where our problems are. It's that direction. We are going to the Capitol. Capitol's in that direction. Let people know. Spread the word.
>> How many agents or assets of the federal government were present on January 6th? Whether they agitated to go into the Capitol and if any of them did.
>> We need to go into the Capitol.
>> The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy.
>> You're sending grandmas to prison. You're putting people away for 20 years for me merely filming. Some people weren't even there yet. You got the guy on video. He's saying go into the Capitol. He's directing people to the Capitol before the speech ends. He's at the site of the first breach and it's an indictment for a misdemeanor. The American public isn't buying it.
>> Isn't it true you have a science degree from Yale?
>> Well, it's liberal arts education and degree. It's a bachelor's.
>> Okay. So, it's not really science. So, I think it's somewhat appropriate that somebody with a pseudoscience degree is here pushing pseudoscience. Today, our nation has achieved a medical miracle. I am thrilled to report that the FDA has authorized the FISA vaccine.
>> Well, first of all, it's none of your business, but I'm going to tell you, I'm not vaccinated, and until there's some science, by the way, I have a master's of science degree from MIT. I'm not a virologist, but I can read data.
>> Operation Warp Speed was considered one of the most incredible things ever done in this country. Can you tell me if anybody's been granted a religious exemption? I, I don't know. So, I believe that it's fraud. In fact, fraud to tell people that you're going to preserve their constitutional religious accommodations by telling they can apply for an exemption and then not allowing any of those exemptions. And I would hope that we've learned something from the COVID experience. Some of our science projects aren't the best ideas. I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It's good. Take the vaccines.
>> I got my booster shot as soon as they were available. And just the other day, former President Trump announced he had gotten his booster shot. It may be one of the few things he and I agree on.
>> This truth was toxic to the narrative that Pfizer was spreading, that Joe Biden wanted out there so he could force the vaccine on everybody whether you had natural immunity or not. I don't think the press gets special privileges on the First Amendment. I think, I don't think Congress does. I think every American, by virtue of being an American, is has the right to free speech enshrined in the Constitution. They are at the same time denying that censorship is occurring but suggesting that there's more material that needs to be censored. So when I go to DC and they threaten me or try to bribe me, it's like I know once Friday comes, I'm going to be back on my farm and I don't need them. Pride in America is looked down upon right now. It's out of fashion. But pride in Israel is something we have to vote on two or three times a week now in Congress. AIPAC is very persuasive. For instance, the Israeli lobby in Congress. If you, if you look at my colleagues' feeds now, there's, they all look the same. Everybody but me has an AIPAC person.
>> What does that mean? An AIPAC person?
>> It's like your babysitter, your AIPAC babysitter. And when they come to DC, you go have lunch with them. I don't want to condone what Israel is doing. 1% of the civilian population of Gaza is no longer breathing air, no longer on this planet. If 1% of the US civilian population were eliminated, that would be a thousand 9/11s. And I don't think we should be a party to that.
>> Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
>> Iran, the reality is they don't have a missile that can reach the United States. They're not near to getting a missile that can reach the United States. If we're going to lead, we should lead and we should have good relations with every country and we should conduct ourselves in a manner that sends a signal to the rest of the world that we're not tyrants.
>> I want everybody to stop dying.
>> I think I represent part of the coalition that elected President Trump. We were tired of endless wars in the Middle East and tired of wars in Eastern Europe. And we were promised that we would put our veterans, our immigration policies, and our infrastructure first. I don't need the job. We're, we're self-sustaining. I help my neighbors and my neighbors help me. And that's what enables me to go to Washington DC and say, "You don't have anything over on me." Like, you could literally take everything I've got and I can create it again. You can pull all my fingernails out. You can shove bamboo up in them. You can start cutting off my fingers. I am not voting for Mike Johnson tomorrow. And you can take that to the bank. I don't know why it should be politically painful to be transparent.
>> Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
>> This is not going away. Congress, a co-equal branch with the president, should demand the release of everything that they have regarding the Epstein files. I mean, people have wanted these files for years and now we're being told it's a hoax. Look, the whole thing is a hoax. It's put out by the Democrats.
>> If it's a hoax, the president's own children fell for the hoax. Vice President fell for the hoax. Cash Patel fell for the hoax. I don't think it's a hoax.
[Music]
>> I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein.
>> This transcends all other issues. And right now, anybody who wants to subvert or keep the Epstein files secret, they are on the wrong side. The American people deserve this. Regardless of what the political ramifications are for the speaker, politicians do not like conflict. They'd like to tell both sides that they're on their side. Democrats want to grow the welfare state and Republicans want to grow the military-industrial complex. People are becoming despondent, apathetic. Why would they go vote if they gave us the House, the Senate, and the White House, and that the transparency and justice they were promised doesn't happen? Like, it's immoral. But even if you're okay with the the amorality or immorality of it, it's shortsighted because eventually it'll catch up with us. So, do any of the Dumbos you work with understand that? What he promised us, which we would put America first?
>> No. I don't think Thomas Massie understands government. I think he's a grandstander. Frankly, if you ask him a couple of questions, he never gives you an answer. He just says, "I'm a no."
>> Did, did it change your views at all? No.
