Thomas Massie's money bomb is taking off, and for Nate, that race matters more than most presidential drama. Why? Because if constitutional conservatives and liberty-minded reps can be crushed for refusing to rubber stamp spending, war, and party-line garbage, that sends a brutal message to anyone thinking about standing on principle.

Then the conversation turns hard toward Iran. Nate and Chuck break down the messaging shift from "no war" to "military operation," the open talk about dodging congressional approval, the media war hype, and the very real fear that "no ground troops" could turn into the exact opposite. They also hit the hypocrisy around "No Kings" protests, why the propaganda language feels so familiar, and how quickly the legal and moral lines get blurred when power wants what it wants.

It's blunt, skeptical, and very GML.
