"Rep. Thomas Massie on Govt Surveillance, IRS Scandal, and D.C.'s Diet of Turd Sandwiches" is the latest video from ReasonTV.

Despite only being in office for a year, Massie is one of the most outspoken members of Congress when it comes to reducing the size, scope, and spending of the federal government. A favorite of Tea Party types, Massie defies simple categorization on a typical left-right political spectrum.

Massie sat down with ReasonTV's Nick Gillespie to discuss government surveillance, marijuana and industrial hemp legalization, why the fiscal cliff deal was like a turd sandwich, taking Paul Krugman's economics class at MIT, being an insurgent within the Republican Party, the IRS scandal, why the Tea Party should stick to economics, and more.
