Episode Details

Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie is blasting his own party, calling the SAVE Act a manufactured political stunt designed to whip up voter anger over ID laws—without any real intent to pass it. With Congress focused on a short-term funding bill, attaching the SAVE Act to larger spending measures is off the table, and Massie argues the push is a distraction from bigger crises like inflation, debt, and government overreach. The bill, which passed the House but stalled in the Senate, has even drawn skepticism from GOP Senator Thom Tillis, who says it’s impossible to implement before midterms. Even former President Trump, who’s publicly backing the bill, withheld his signature on a housing bill to pressure the Senate—highlighting the partisan gridlock. Massie insists this isn’t about policy—it’s about optics, energizing the base, and making voters mad while ignoring the real problems.
