But it was so important.
It wasn't for Thomas Massey.
It's for, for my God, for our children and grandchildren to actually reduce the budget and work on this national debt.
And these are the stories I could tell many of these about Thomas, um,
one of my favorite tucker my favorite story about thomas is when he actually stood up to the president and it's it's quite a story because president trump was so angry at him and so was most of the republican conference and this is a story that i watched unfold on television not because i was there in person because i wasn't i wasn't a member of congress yet
But I watched it as an American citizen.
And at that time, I was like, Thomas Massey is right.
And it's when he forced Congress to go on record voting for the first gigantic, it was $5 trillion, basically a bailout when the country shut down during COVID.
And they were going to let that bill pass $5 trillion of spending.
It's really what started wrecking our economy with high inflation.
But Thomas Massey would not allow that to be passed by voice because Congress constitutionally owes it to the American people to do these things right.
And so he went to Washington and demanded a roll call vote on that particular bill.
And that was the first major fight that President Trump and Thomas Massey had.
But I'll tell you, if I had been in Congress then, I would have been right there with Thomas because I fully agreed with him.
Fully agreed with him.
I was 100% at home.
I was against the two weeks to slow the spread where they shut the country down.
I was so angry about that.
I've never been more angry in my life.
And I was cheering Thomas Massey on at home saying, yes, at least there's one person in Washington willing to say this is crazy and trying to stop it, but at least getting a recorded vote from Congress.
