But nonetheless, big things are happening after the Tuesday debacle in the state of Ohio. And joining you and I now is Congressman Thomas Massey of Northern Kentucky, et cetera. He's an entrepreneur, he's brilliant, graduated from MIT. He can fix his own cell phones with a screwdriver, and the guy's unbelievable. I don't know whys in politics, but nonetheless he's under attack by some as voting against support for Israel in favor of Hamas. Plus the kill switch.
Put that in the back of your mind, the kill switch. We're going to talk about that. But Congressman Thomas Massey, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And can you describe why you decided as the only Republican and to vote against in a sense Israel in favor of a Mosas. At least that's what the commercial says. Yeah, well, you know, and everything you see on TV or listen to on the radio is true, right, absolutely, listen listen. I came out early on. I condemned the
attacks by Hamas. Those are brutal and barbaric. There's no justification for attacking innocent civilians like that whatsoever. And I also support Israel's right to defend itself.
But in the last week, we've voted on about a half dozen different resolutions and whatnot, condemning this or that and saying they support Israel the one that ticked them off the most, and I suspect this is why they're running those ads is I did not vote to send another fourteen point three billion dollars in foreign aid to Israel, and I've not voted for foreign aid in Ukraine.
I've not voted for foreign aid anywhere, and the eleven years that I've been in although there was some three point eight billion dollars for Israel and the DoD A probees bill that I voted for that's sitting over in the Senate and they're not acting on it. But I just don't vote for foreign aid, especially when it's a standalone package. This was fourteen point three billion dollars.
And you know there's some who argue, well, Congress and Massy, this will stimulate our economy and create jobs because they're going to redeem those as gift certificates at Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. I don't think, Sony, can you tell me where the fourteen point three billion. And by the way, artistically, I love the Israeli spent time there in May. Would love to go back again one hundred percent support. But if we start sending this one hundred
and six billion dollars, where does that money come from? Do we print it? We don't have it. We're upside down two trillion dollars. Where do we get the money? Well, we're borrowing it right now at five percent interest rates. That the interest rate we pay on our debt has about tripled in the last few years, and we're going to have about a trillion dollars in interest alone. So we don't have the money. We're borrowing it. Pretty soon the borrowers of the lenders aren't going to loan it to us,
and we will have to print it like they did during COVID. They printed five trillion dollars to fund those bills that I voted against. That's why you get all this inflation. I say, the twelve hundred dollars checks were the cheese and the trap to get people to go along with it. But it's going to cause more inflation here at home. We're not even protecting our own borders. No, we should We're not even spending a third of that on our own border. This it's ridiculous. So where does it go.
Well, you know, I talked to a friend who's who immigrated from Israel to the United States. He's a constituent. He said, part of the problem is there anti gun in Israel now, right, and that if they had the equivalent of the Second Amendment, a lot of this could have been stopped. In fact, some of it was stopped by armed citizens who saw what was happening and came together, or they may have gotten much further into
the country. Yeah, and it's ridiculous. Two percent of Israelis were authorized at home to have a weapon, two percent when almost all of them spent two to four years in them military. But there was an idea that we got the IDF, they'll protect you. And now they're handing out handing out to guns like popsicles in July. Because now anybody that wants a permit to have a weapon in their home, they're saying, okay, take it all. So to go back to the to the foreign to the spending in Israel
of one hundred and six billion between all the entities. The reason you voted against it is number one, we can't afford at Number two in the Senate, there's about three or four billion dollars sitting there ready to give to Israel
anyway. And number three, you might recall a couple of days ago in the thirty year Treasury auction, they had to be shut down because there weren't enough buyers for the for the thirty year treasury note that got up to close to five percent of the thirty year And there's a little bit of a sense that, you know what, two trillion dollars we're going to borrow this year again this fiscal year, which we don't have, never going to pay back.
It's going to be forty trillion dollars by the end of this decade, forty trillion dollars. We're going to spend about one trillion dollar a year just an interest, which is about twenty five percent of all the money collected from all the Americans and tax receipts. We pay about four trillion in taxes and we spend six trillion. Thomas Massey, how long can that continue? Are we going to become the wear mark of the late nineteen thirties where it'll take
a wheelbarrow to buy a loaf of bread. What you suggest is true. And by the way, the debt to GDP ratio in Israel is much lower than our debt to GDP ratio. So why should we borrow the money and with no promise of it getting paid back and send it to a country that is per capita better off than we are. That'll be my fourth reason.
The fifth reason. This money's going to go to military industrial complex. It's not going to go to the things that they really need to stop sort of this medieval type attack with you know, back hos and trackloaders and drones and whatnot, and rifles and machetes that you know that they used. They're going to spend it all. It's basically a stimulus package for our military industrial complex. They see it winding down in Ukraine. When you know, as soon
as Afghanistan stopped, they they fired up Ukraine. And now that Ukraine looks like they're going to have to negotiate some kind of settlement there, they're looking for the next place they're going to spend all this money. I'm not going along with it. I'm not going to spend the money. And for that, I've got eighty eight thousand dollars of advertisement running against me this week between TV and your radio station. The one good thing out of all this bill
is we're stimulating the local economy. These lobbyists who wrapped me up. I think they're spending a lot of money at your radio station, aren't they. Yeah, yeah, no question. And we spoke off the area yesterday and you took the adult approach and said spend it all. Just keep spending it, and we're more. They're willing to take ads, and it is what it is. Let's move on to point number two. And I saw this on YouTube when you went off on the kill switch, and I have a
fear down the road the direction we're headed. If the interchangeable drill bit becomes Joe Biden or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom, whoever, the liberal left wing Democrat takes over the White House and we go four to eight more years of the policies and the kill switch is here. Can you explain to the American
people what is the kill switch? So in one of those thousand page bills that passed two years ago before we were in the majority, they mandated that by twenty twenty six, all new vehicles sold in the United States have to have an automated kill switch. In other words, the vehicle will monitor your driving performance and then disabled the vehicle if it decides you may be impaired,
not drunk. It says impaired. And this is different than the breathalyzer technology that thirty one states have, where you have to blow into something to start your car if you've been convicted of a DUI. That technology already exists. This is a totally different technology that can disable your car while you're driving it. Imagine you're a mom with your kids in the car, and you pulled over for the ambulance to go by to something, and then you swerve to
miss a deer. You went around some obstruction in the road, and now your car shut down and you're on the side of the road. Who is going to adjudicate your appeal? Who do you appel it to? Do you press a button and a lawyer comes on from the Department of Homeland Security or something? And the data are the data is clearly going to be stored in your car. Who has access to that? Do they need a warrant? How's it going to work? Is it going to use video cameras that monitor
your face to make sure you're looking at the road. Does it use video cameras facing forward? You know, I broke down and bought a new truck. I've made my old truck last twenty five years, and I told my wife, Okay, this thing is not relying to haul cattle. So that convinced you I needed a new truck. This truck tells me when it thinks I'm not doing a good job of driving. It tells me I might be sleepy. I need to pull over. It sets off alarm bells. Wow,
what they wanted. What this technology will do is tie that to your ignition switch and shuts you down when the vehicle determines you're you're not suitable for driving. What if it shuts you down on a railroad track coming in coming into the station. Miami Avenue, which is close to our station is an obstacle course. They're putting in pipe, sewer lines, they're put in water, and you wait, then you go left, and you go right, then you stop, then you go left, you go right, then you
speed up, then you stop, then you go left. And I went to a stop sign and turn right. I ran into another sewer district truck had to go left if if my Blazer determined that I was impaired. Uh, and that this kill switch is not breathing your air. It is simply monitoring whether you're swerving or going too fast, and it shuts off the car. Correct. And they also, by the way, they've included another part of that bill that has technology to monitor the air in the car, not
the driver's air, but the air in the car. What if you're the designated driver for three people, You're trying to get home from the bar in the car, you know, have it help you? The car is going to shut down because it also it also says they have to have that technology. What about marijuana? You know, the Buckeye State joined twenty four others in allowing the marijuana use. And I would imagine people are going to get in the car and I would imagine, you know, driving a drunk corn
or the influence is not good. But nonetheless, if you have a half of a one or if you have one or two beers, you're not impaired. You're under the limit. What about that? Well, listen, if they come up with technology that sniffs for marijuana and shuts your car down, you won't be able to drive through Washington, d C with the windows down because every corner in Washington, DC smells like pot. Well, yeah, this kill switch technology is right out of animal farm right at a nineteen eighty
four. This is Big Brother determining whether or not you can even drive. And I can imagine the false positives the kill switch may activate when it shouldn't be activated in the middle of nowhere in the hills of Utah or Colorado. Suddenly you're in the middle of nowhere in Montana visiting the Yellowstone and all of a sudden you're stopped. And how do you say, okay, turn it back on at two o'clock in the morning, or a trucker right as a
druncker say wait a minute. Think of the false positives, and they're going to have to check you to know if your driving conditions are suitable for where you are in the road. This is why this week I offered that amendment to defund this mandate. So this was my legislator fix for this was to defund the entire mandate. Now, it would only defund it for one year
because the spending's for one year. Would you believe nineteen Republicans voted to keep this kill which mandate, and even though I got two Democrats to cross over, believe it or not, AOC voted for my amendment because she was worried about the civil liberties aspect of this. You see you are voting with AOC that one d you know what? I wait, Here's what I told her. I talked to her on the floor. Oh god, I told AOC. I said, they're running eighty eight thousand dollars of ads this week in
my district, saying I always vote with you. I said, it's about time you vote with me once and she said, I am I'm not. I know she was surprised by the ad. So what can we do to encourage you and these other dozen and a half Republicans to give us autonomy and freedom? That DUIs are going down. The smoking upon in the car is not a big issue. It shouldn't happen. But I don't want the government monitoring my driving. And the next step will be, of course, to
monitor the thermostide in your house because all of us have smart thermostats. What about that? Or if you you know, during COVID, if you haven't passed the test or aren't vaccinated. Well, you're now a vector, and we don't want you to be mobile, so they could shut down. I mean what I'm saying. People are going to say, oh, you sound like a conspiracy theorist congresson Nascy. No, I'm not. Our governor went to churches and wrote down license plate numbers during COVID. He sent the state
troopers to do it. If you went to church during his order not to go anywhere, you can be darn sure they will use this to stop these cars. And they'll say it's a national emergency. So what what can you do? Yes, yes, please don't. I don't know. I don't want to call them out that. You can go to my social media accounts.
It's at Rep. Thomas Massey. You could search for the hashtag sassy with massy if if you want, because I also use that, and find the list of the nineteen who voted against this and let them know that you do not want Orwell's future. Tell them nineteen eighty four was not an instruction manual for Congress. You know I said this on the air and three or
four years ago. In March of twenty twenty, the federal government designated me as the designated survivor, that I would be at our great stations underneath the transmitter broadcasting necessary information because of the familiarity of my voice in the Midwest. And at one point it got to the idea that are we going to shut down the highways if people don't pay attention and stay home. And fortunately, Americans complied. From California to New York, from Michigan all the way to
Texas. Generally, Americans complied and they stayed off the roads and stayed home. The next pandemic. With this technology in place, you don't need a designated survivor. All you need is to kill switch to turn off the vehicles. And next up will be Department of Energy wants to keep your house at seventy six degrees in the summertime and sixty six degrees in the winter, and
you can't go above that. Imagine what's coming. Well, the government already claims to have the right to have an Internet kill switch where they can shut down the Internet if they think it's it, you know, important for national security. So that's a concern. And oh, by the way, this week, this just came out this week. The Stanford Virality Project under subpoena. They released documents that show that the US government was using Stanford Observatory to
censor me and my tweets during COVID. So the US government's censorship industrial complex was actively censoring a US congressman's Twitter account and Facebook account during COVID for true things I posted. I referenced studies on natural immunity, and they were the US government executive brand using these third party groups. We're getting the signal back
to social media to shut me down, and they did. Can you imagine what they would do to some ordinary schlip citizen living in outside Austin, Texas. What they would do. They would shut so they can keep you in your home, Demand the temperature inside your house, kill switch on your vehicles, know your role, and shut your mouth. Either're taking away your wood stoves too. That's how you get your gas is done. You can't use would well Thomas Massey, I'm glad to hear that you're against Amas, you're
against beheading babies, and you're in favor of Israel. But however, the funding of that. We have a debt crisis coming in this country and that will add to it, especially when there's four billion dollars in the Senate waiting to go to Israel anyway. So correct, Thomas An, I go ahead. Israel's right to defend itself and condemn the barbaric attacks of Moss And I hope you make your station does well running those ads. I don't care about
the ads. I think it's a stupid waste of their money. And I'm glad it's going to fund your salary and your airtime to get the truth out me too. Congressman, you're the best. Thank you very much, Thank you, Congressman. All right, let's get that's the legendary Tom Massey in Northern District of Kentucky. It's wonderful. He's brilliant. He's an MIT scientist, and he's in government and he's applying human principles to federal government activities.
And the two don't fit. So let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred wlw Eddie here with two life lessons for you to remember. First, if you miss part of the Eddie and Rocky Show, make sure you catch the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. And I don't remember what the second thing is, so just remember that first thing. Hi, I'm Congressman Warren Davidson as an army ranger.
