Get Thomas Massie on The Reason Interview With Nick Gillespie

Thomas Massie just lost his Kentucky GOP primary on May 19, 2026 to Trump backed challenger Ed Gallrein, making him the latest test case for how the party punishes internal dissent. That makes hearing him on The Reason Interview urgent today, because he can now speak candidly about the White House pressure campaign and the spending surge that took him out.

In the final days he blasted Fox News as selling “slop” and warned about billionaire driven efforts targeting him, a fight that exposes how media and donors will shape the next Congress. Getting his first person account now helps listeners understand what this means for civil liberties votes on surveillance, war powers, and speech.

Just last week one of his bills, the NICS Data Reporting Act of 2026, passed the House, and earlier this year he pressed for transparency on the Epstein files, so his agenda has real stakes today. He has been on this podcast before to dig into those files, and if you want more of that unvarnished candor, support this nomination today.
