Rise and shine, everyone. I have not had coffee. I just realized that. Coffee! Where's the coffee people? I want a coffee. Can you please bring me a coffee? That's Tim. Don't ever get married. He hates me because I'm always yelling stuff out like that. Thank you for joining us, everyone. I didn't say anything. What did you say? You're going to watch? I said get married. It's the best thing. Didn't I say that, everyone? Anyways, good morning, married, married life, married people problems. Okay, so look, thank you. I'm going to get right to it again, as I have been, because we have a lot to cover. So good morning, everybody. Like and thumbs up. It affects the algorithm. Let me know where you are. Quebec. Wow. Amazing.
So how long? That's what I kept thinking about as I was editing the newsletter overnight. How long are we going to sit here and watch them do this, right? Do you feel like they're just sort of... You don't have any agency? Like, how long are we going to sit and be polite about this? How long are we going to celebrate people who spent their entire careers voting against us? Now, this... Let me just tell you, this morning I'm going to say in this open to the show not exactly what some people think I should say or am going to say, because I'm going to be very honest with you about what's happening right now. So my question is, how long are we going to celebrate people who spent their entire careers, I'm just being honest, voting against us just because they asked one question about a pedophile's client list?
Are y'all ready for this one? I'm fired up this morning, even without coffee. How long? Because, look, I'm tired of turning people into saints and martyrs that really aren't saints and martyrs. I appreciate when they do the right thing. However, I want to talk about last night. Not the way the news talks about it. Not with the charts and the analysis and both sides and, oh my gosh, this person's a hero. No! I want to talk about the truth and what it actually means, what it reveals about this country in this moment right now. Can I get an amen? Thomas Massey lost his primary, okay? Now, I know everyone's like, here's with Thomas Massey, but he won. Okay, I understand that. But I'm always looking at the big picture, and sometimes I'm a bit of a contrarian.
So Thomas Massey lost his primary, and I've seen people calling him a hero this morning. He's a martyr. Apparently he's a saint. He's the last honest Republican. Okay. I have nothing against Mr. Massey, but what I have is an affection and an affinity for the truth. Let me tell you who Thomas Massey is. Thomas Massey voted for the SAVE Act. Voter suppression. That's really dressed up as election integrity. He voted to confirm Pete Hegseth as the Secretary of Defense. Now, I know some Democrats did it as well, and they deserve to be called out. He voted for Pam Bondi as the Attorney General. He voted for Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence. Call your friends, because I'm going to tell you the truth this morning that you're not going to hear anywhere, and the doors of the church are open this morning.
So come on in if you have a sermon. And you can contribute to the Teal if you want to become a member. Because that's how we stay viable. The very people, okay? He voted for the very people dismantling this country right now. He put them there. He voted against LGBTQ protections. His entire career. He is anti-abortion. He votes with Republicans 91% of the time. I'm gonna repeat that, because maybe you did not hear me. I'm gonna repeat it, if I can remember it word for word. Thomas Massie voted for the SAVE Act, which is gonna disenfranchise women because their IDs may not match when they go to the voting booth, which they voted for, pardon me for this. Hey, Siri, turn on Do Not Disturb. So he voted for that voter suppression.
That's voter suppression that people are calling election integrity. It is not. Go read what the SAVE Act is. Voted for Pete Hegseth. Voted for Pam Bondi. Tulsa Gabbard. These are the people who are undoing the democracy in this country.
