Episode Description from the Publisher

THOMAS MASSIE IS GOING HOME TO HIS FARM THIS MORNING — AND THE LIBERTY MOVEMENT NEEDS TO HEAR WHY. Thirty-four million dollars and a presidential endorsement bought a congressional seat in Kentucky last night. This morning we are sitting with exactly what was lost, whose fault it actually is, and what the movement does next. Plus Judge Napolitano on Trump's $1.8 billion constitutional end-run, and Mike Ter Maat on what comes after the libertarian party. 🏛️ The real cost of Massie's loss — by bill number, vote count, and dollar figure — and the honest reckoning of how Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and the groyper network handed the opposition everything they needed. ⚖️ Judge Andrew Napolitano on Trump's $1.8 billion IRS self-settlement 🗳️ Mike Ter Maat — former LP VP nominee and author of Broken — on the national campaign he says has never been attempted in 250 years of American political history.
