We're conservatives.

But we will do it only if you promise to put in the bill a guaranteed 1% cut to the budget.

and we were willing to do it so we had a other group of really conservative republicans that were like yeah we want to do that too and so we did it and guess what that became law it was it was a guaranteed one percent budget cut and to me someone that really cares about our national debt and the ridiculous amount of spending that happens in congress year after year i was like this is actually a victory

But what people need to understand is that's the perfect example of Thomas Massey and myself, too, and others willing to work within the conference and willing to negotiate and willing to say, all right, I'll give you something you want, but you have to give me something that I want.

And that's that's what he's capable of doing.

And it was for the best.

good the good of the entire country my god a one percent cut in the budget that that never ever happens but here they lie about it every day and they call him oh he's no on everything and he won't vote for anything and that's absolutely not true and i'm a i am a witness a literally a living witness to watching thomas massey work diligently within our conference among

Republicans and saying, okay, I'll give you something you want if you give this to me.

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.
