Massie Blowback & The End of Boomer Control

Dan and Corey rant through Thomas Massie’s Kentucky primary loss, arguing he was targeted by $30–$32 million in pro-Israel/AIPAC-backed spending to install Navy SEAL Ed Gelrein—an “empty suit” who even refused to debate—while online gloaters still obsess over Massie. They mock claims it “wasn’t about Israel,” point to AI attack ads fooling older voters, and note Massie won voters under about 65 while boomers, Fox News, and a closed primary shaped the outcome. They speculate about suspicious turnout and mail-in ballot math, then pivot to a “white pill”: if one principled congressman scared the establishment enough to spend that much, more Massies could follow via grassroots organizing. The episode also slams Trump-era hypocrisy, mentions a DOJ “anti-weaponization” fund and IRS audit protections, and warns Rubio-style “terror” rhetoric could tee up a future clash with Cuba.
