Ben Ray Luján

We need people who understand that and who are with it and who are following these trends.

I'm not confident that the current slate of senators, all of them are up to that task.

But, Joey, there's a difference, I think, between having an ailment that they can recover from, that they do recover from.

Like, the senator from New Mexico, Ben Lujan, he had a stroke.

No.

Senator Lujan.

No.

Senator Warnock.

A 2026 Pentagon report noted a short-term rise in myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination.

Turning to the Epstein Files, Representative Thomas Massey, joined by Representatives Ro Khanna and Teresa Ledger Fernandez, and Senators Jeff Merkley and Ben Ray Lujan, introduced House Bill 9694, the Epstein Files Transparency Act II.

The bill creates a private right of action for state attorneys general, district attorneys, members of Congress, and victims to address alleged unlawful withholding of records and bars, certain privileges.

In other congressional news, Senator Josh Hawley expanded an inquiry into AI surveillance firms, sending letters to Axon Enterprise, Motorola Solutions, and Verkada, requesting details on data practices, biometric capabilities, and misuse incidents by September 16.

And I think it's honestly really sad to watch because this was a guy who had a tremendous amount of promise, who has let a lot of people down, and it's incredibly disappointing to watch.

watch.What do you think about my plan, which is you have to deputize another senator, like Brian Schatz or Ben Ray Luján or somebody, to just go and be his friend and have lunch with him every day and complain about the libtards and, like, do whatever it n- needs to kind of keep him feeling loved? That he's kind of, like, just a, a wayward child that needs, that needs some hand-holding.

It, it can't hurt, but he has had those relationships in the Senate, and he had some of those folks who basically did that early on.

But the pattern is-

So if the election for U.S.

Senator was held today, this was one of the poll questions that was asked, and the candidates were Democrat Ben Ray Lujan and Republican Larry Marker, who would you vote for? And out of this, Ben Ray Lujan...

gets 53% of that total poll.

Right, he's up 15.

And I think without being able to raise that money, it's hard for Larry to raise his profile.

And so what Larry has in his number here is basically bare bones, a bare bones Republican number.

And so that parts up Ben Ray Lujan.

Obviously, we ran against him.

He introduced H.R. 9694, the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, with Democratic Representatives Ro Khanna of California and Teresa Fernandez of New Mexico in July.

Democratic Senators Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico introduced companion legislation in the Senate.

The proposal would add enforcement provisions to the original Epstein Files Transparency Act, which became law in November of 2025.

Boy, I would love for that to pass.
