Adam, what's your point?
The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here.
You are a one-on-one?
My son's right there.
I don't think I've ever said this before.
Okay, sounds good. Gang, we have to change it up today because my oldest son graduated eighth grade, so I have to go in there and sneak out to come here and be with you guys. We have a special guest today. You know, when they were on last time, it was a great conversation. We should almost create a show, the Luke and Richard Show. I don't know if it's the last name or it should be the first name. We'll figure it out. But we have brilliant minds in the house, including Tom. A lot happened last night. I don't know what direction to go with you. One is the big race with Thomas Massie, with Galrein, which was massive. It's the biggest primary race we've had with the money being spent, $32 to $34 million. Trump, the biggest data that you see, which was shocking to everybody who thought Trump's endorsement no longer meant anything.
The guy won 39-0 in the middle of a war. How do you do that? Everyone was upset, the guy that won 39-0. You can say anything, economy, affordability, Iran, oil, gas prices, and he went 39-0 with his endorsement. It is such a... Can you imagine if you were him, Brian, going to sleep last night saying, I told you so, you should never go against me, and all the other guys that did kind of lost. It was so bad that remember Bill Cassidy who was the fellow, I think, in Louisiana, Tom, if I'm not, is Cassidy out of Louisiana, Rob? Out of Cassidy that he voted, he was one of the seven senators, I think, that voted for J6 as a Republican against the president for the impeachment. And he lost to a fellow that Trump endorsed yesterday while all this stuff is going on and nobody is paying attention to it.
Maybe the biggest thing that happened last night that no one talked about, not a lot of people talked about, remember, this is the sport of politics, is the Senate advances Iran war power resolution, historic first. Senate voted 50 to 47 on Tuesday to advance a war power resolution requiring Trump to end military operation in Iran or obtain congressional authorization. But the biggest thing on this Guess how Bill Cassidy voted, who previously seven times in a row voted no. What do you think he voted last night? He finally said, let me side with Trump after he lost. Kind of weird, right, when you think about what's going on here. So maybe he's thinking about his career long term. I better get my act together.
The history of Mitch McConnell is gone. I think Mitch McConnell is no longer going to be there, 40-something-plus years. I know a lot of people will miss him. I'm sure you're going to be very emotional because you want people to be in politics for 40-plus years. Maybe you want to even extend term limits. Maybe when they're dead, they're still in there. So some people still want them to continue. I don't know what you want to call that, Luke. But Mitch McConnell is no longer going to have a seat. I think somebody – I don't think he competed for it, though, Tom, right? I think somebody else came and took the spot, Tom, if I'm not mistaken, with Mitch McConnell.
I believe so, yeah. The Senate is no longer a corrupt hospice.
Yes.
That would be California.
Changed.
What are the implications of Thomas Massie's primary loss?
Which, by the way, his family is probably happy, okay? His Asian wife that has a lot of business over there is probably happy. They can now just kind of relax and enjoy themselves, spend time with the grandkids. And I don't know if he's got great grandkids. Maybe he does. And at this point, you just don't want your grandfather to suffer what he's going through. Just relax and enjoy the last few years you have with your kids. NATO ships. NATO turns around and says, hey, we may just support the president now. Oh, now you want to do it? Now that you realize the guy may decide not to send money your way anymore, now you want to go support it? Then there was another $1.8 billion slush fund. Attorney quits hours after $1.8 billion slush fund to pay MAGA allies and J6 rioters.
