All right, let's start this hour with a hypothetical.

Let's say you are a longtime Republican elected politician, a regular American conservative.

And let's say for whatever reason, President Donald Trump has decided you are insufficiently loyal,

not to the country or the Constitution or your constituents, but to him.

He blasts out to his audience on truth social first that you must be dealt with,

and second, that there is a person running against you in your Republican primary.

He's given them his trademark full and complete endorsement in all caps.

He says supporters, real American patriots should vote for them and not for you.

And let's say it works because it does. You lose your primary like those six Indiana state senators

did for objecting to his redistricting bill, like Bill Cassidy of Louisiana did,

for daring to vote to convict Donald Trump in his impeachment trial, like Thomas Massey of Kentucky

did, for authoring the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It's six months out from midterm election day,

and you know you'll be out of a job by next year. What do you do next?

The Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey,

who lost his primary to a Trump-back challenger,

reflected on why he had drawn Trump's ire.

Today is the six-month anniversary of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

We've taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture.

And that was just six months.

That's enough to be satisfied with your work, but there's more.

I got seven months left in Congress.

Sounds like a threat.
