Matt Gaetz joins Steve Bannon on his show to talk about what he thinks the priorities of the new Republican majority in the House should be if they take control of the House of Representatives in November, and why he thinks Joe Biden should be impeached for his crimes and crimes against the American people. He also calls for an investigation of the Deep State, and says that impeachment should be the first order of business if they re going to impeach the Vice President, Joe Biden. Steve and Joy talk about why they think this is a good idea and why it should be a priority for the new House majority, and how to deal with Matt Gaetz as a potential replacement for Joe Biden as Speaker if he becomes the next Speaker. They also discuss why Joe Biden is a problem in the Democratic Party and why they should impeach him and why impeachment is the best way to take down the Deep state and bring them to heel. They finish with a special guest appearance from Joy Reid, who has been a long time supporter of the movement and has been on the campaign trail supporting the movement to elect a new Speaker of the New Jersey Republican primary challenger to replace Joe Biden and why she should be Impeachment of Joe Biden if they win the election. Thank you, Joy Reid! for coming on the show and for being our guest and for her support of our movement.

00:05:36.000Here is Matt Gaetz, and he's on Steve Bannon's show, because of course he is, saying what he thinks the priorities should be if Republicans take control of the House.
00:05:47.000If we don't engage in impeachment inquiries to get the documents and the testimony and the information we need, then I believe that our voters will feel betrayed.
00:05:56.000And we can do that without the Senate and without the White House.
00:05:59.000And that's why it should be investigations first, policy bill making to support the lobbyists and the PACs as a far, far diminished priority.
00:06:45.000I mean, Joy, this is a problem for House Republican leadership for two reasons.
00:06:49.000Number one, House Republican leaders have told their members to please only talk about three issues in the last few weeks of this campaign.
00:07:08.000Secondly, if Republicans do win a slim majority in the House, Kevin McCarthy and his lieutenants are going to have to find a way to include Matt Gaetz in their coalition because they're not going to have very many votes to spare if he wants to become speaker.
00:07:25.000So this is a big problem for Republicans and what makes the problem even bigger for them is that people like Matt Gaetz really don't care what they think.
00:07:36.000What Carlos Curbelo has right is that I don't care what the leadership in Washington think of either party if their desire is to go engage in some unified effort against the American people.
00:07:49.000I know what has been weaponized against the American people.
00:07:55.000And I think we have to get to the corrupt core of these agencies.
00:07:59.000And I'm not just talking about some of the ones you see on the news all the time.
00:08:03.000As we've covered on this show, Department of Homeland Security, setting up the Ministry of Truth.
00:08:09.000The post office, setting up an internet covert operations program, it's all part of a unified system that subjugates the American people.
00:08:18.000And I do not believe we should continue to authorize that system or fund that system.
00:08:23.000If we have to, we should shut it down, but at a minimum, We have to open the impeachment inquiries of people like Ali Mayorkas, the Homeland Security Secretary, allowing our border to function as a turnstile for those who would do our country harm.
00:08:40.000If we're not willing to engage in an impeachment inquiry, at least at the outset, Then I believe we will have betrayed the voters who intend to give us power in tens of days following the November election.
00:08:55.000The fundamental premise of that position is that Joe Biden is not going to sign a single piece of legislation That we need to actually save the country.
00:09:07.000Maybe some stuff that rearranges the deck chairs on the Titanic we can agree on, but on the core issues driving inflation, immigration, crime, Economic despair, weaponization of our government.
00:09:20.000Joe Biden is on the other side of the House Republicans.
00:09:23.000At least that's what I hope when we take power.
00:09:26.000I hope we're not on the same side as Joe Biden on those issues because he's put our country in a very perilous situation right now.
00:09:32.000And to get out of that situation, he'd rather say that MAGA Republicans are fascists and enemies of the state than actually admit to his failures and his misgivings.
00:09:45.000It's really unfortunate we're in this position, but I don't believe we get out of it without an aggressive oversight agenda.
00:09:51.000The MAGA agenda is not an agenda to please the lobbyists or the PACs.
00:09:57.000The MAGA agenda is an investigations-first agenda, and it is an agenda that will include impeachment.
00:10:37.000Also, an update on what some of House Republican leadership is saying about the agenda and the policy choices we have to make.
00:10:44.000Donna Brazile making a pronouncement about President Trump that you will not want to miss.
00:10:51.000But I first want to take just a moment to let you know that while we're here live in Washington D.C. in the Longworth office building at the Capitol complex, My heart is in the sunshine state as a very serious storm is barreling down on our people,
00:11:08.000on our fellow Floridians, and it's very important to ensure that folks have their batteries charged up, that you have a way to be able to have candle or lighting in the event of loss of power, which is an almost Certainly with a storm of this magnitude.
00:11:23.000And also that you have the right way to follow your local emergency management system.
00:11:29.000Emergency management in Florida is something that we are very good at.
00:11:32.000We have a sophisticated system on this.
00:11:34.000We have people that have been trained.
00:11:36.000We do a great job with Governor DeSantis and FEMA on getting table talk exercises ready.
00:11:44.000So that we're prepared in the event of this.
00:11:45.000But we always do lose people based on a lack of preparation.
00:11:49.000One thing I just want to say, make sure if you are using a generator that you have the proper ventilation.
00:11:54.000That is always something that is grave concern in the eye of the storm and certainly in the immediate aftermath as a power is being set up.
00:12:03.000So please keep my fellow Florida man and Florida woman in your prayers in these times because there are a lot of folks on the peninsula going through a lot and Our hearts are undeniably with them.
00:12:14.000I want to go now to a tweet from the White House that referenced me.
00:12:18.000I'm really liking this new press secretary.
00:12:22.000She says, after seeing that quote of me on War Room, which it is just delicious that the White House press office is sitting around watching me and Steve Bannon on War Room.
00:12:31.000You ever think that these conversations, that these podcasts, that this alternative media...
00:12:35.000Is not significant in driving the action.
00:12:44.000It's rare we agree with Matt Gaetz, but he's 100% right that the House Republicans' policy agenda is about, quote, helping lobbyists and PACs, close quote.
00:12:56.000And then she goes on to criticize elements of this McCarthy agenda as she characterizes it.
00:13:04.000And by the way, not for nothing, but Joe Biden is running on lobbyist and PAC money.
00:13:08.000Like, this wasn't a guy that did what I did to forsake that.
00:13:12.000You know what, Corrine Jean-Pierre, if Joe Biden is serious about not engaging in the agenda of lobbyists and PACs, why don't you stand up at the podium today and say he's done taking their money?
00:13:24.000Or are you such a clown and is your regime and administration such a joke that you would criticize me for denouncing lobbyists and PACs?
00:13:34.000And then you would go and cash their checks while you send out an insincere tweet like that.
00:13:40.000Karine Jean-Pierre, you are nothing but a fraudulent mouthpiece if you cannot walk into the Oval Office today and demand that Joe Biden take the Matt Gaetz position to resist the donations of lobbyists and PACs.
00:13:53.000And if you could think that you could take millions of dollars from D.C.-based special interests...
00:14:00.000And then go look out at the country and say, I'm just regular Joe.
00:14:27.000Those who have a 40-minute drive to work, watching their gas prices soar.
00:14:32.000Those who have large families who have to eat and have to go to the grocery store.
00:14:36.000This White House is such a joke, and the press secretary is actually quite the embodiment of that.
00:14:41.000But we don't want to follow in their footsteps.
00:14:44.000We don't want to see the Republicans become a joke like the Democrats.
00:14:50.000Last week, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy put out the Republican Commitment to America.
00:14:57.000Take a listen to Elise Stefanik, the Republican Conference Chair, discuss it on Fox News Sunday.
00:15:06.000When it comes to supporting our law enforcement and having a nation that's safe, we have legislation that will immediately provide funding through recruitment and retention bonuses to hire an additional 200,000 police officers across this country.
00:15:22.000200,000 police officers hired with the federal tax dollar.
00:15:27.000Now, that might Play well with a focus group with a carefully tested message.
00:15:34.000It may even help people win an election.
00:15:36.000But I have strong concerns about addicting local law enforcement to the federal dollar.
00:15:43.000And undeniably, that's what elements of even the Republican agenda would do.
00:15:49.000Now, when House Democrats try to do the very same thing, I fought against them on the House floor.
00:15:59.000It is head-spinning that House Democrats either want to defund the police, as Judiciary Member Cori Bush does, or they want to federalize the police, as Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler does.
00:16:17.000In my community, the voters in one of the reddest counties in Florida voted to raise their own taxes to fund school resource officers.
00:16:27.000Protecting our schools was that important and we understood that that was the responsibility of our community.
00:16:34.000And now, as places like Detroit, Chicago, almost every major metropolitan area in California, Defund their police as some virtue signal, as some way to sacrifice the safety of their constituents on the altar of wokeism.
00:16:50.000Now they want my Florida constituents to subsidize the bad decisions that they make at the state and local level.
00:16:58.000Both constitutionally and practically.
00:17:01.000The police power is not a power of the federal government.
00:17:05.000It is a power of our state and local governments.
00:17:07.000And when we excessively entangle ourselves in that, we do to law enforcement what we shamefully did to education.
00:17:14.000In our schools all across this land, there was innovation, creativity, school projects, different ways to learn.
00:17:22.000And then, the Republicans and Democrats joined with President Bush in passing the No Child Left Behind Act, and we got Common Core and this theory that we had to have every kid on the same page of the same book on the same day, and we lost what was so special about it.
00:17:35.000We don't want to do that now to law enforcement, but you see this entire package of legislation today is intended to do just that.
00:17:45.000They want to addict the police to the federal dollar.
00:17:48.000And that comes with a more efficient way to ensure centralized decision making, not the localized decision making that our Constitution promises and that it has offered great promise to this country for generations.
00:18:00.000So do not buy this theory that this legislation is intended to help law enforcement.
00:18:05.000The best thing we could do for law enforcement is get out of their way, have their back, and call out the politicians Like those in Congress who keep trying to defund the police and devalue the commitment they make to our communities.
00:18:21.000We're back live, and the live stream is going on Rumble right now.
00:18:26.000There's the suggestion from one of our commenters that I should be on every committee next to Congress.
00:18:31.000I don't know if you would want that, actually.
00:18:34.000I think I'm on the committees I ought to be on, Armed Services and Judiciary, and I have every intention to stay on them.
00:18:40.000And there is also criticism from the very same commenter, Google sucks for YouTube, that Defunding and federalizing creates more centralization and control of the masses and that we ought to resist that centralization.
00:18:54.000And that is the argument that I made on the floor of the House that I believe criticizes both the Democrats and perhaps even some elements of a Republican agenda to try to centralize decision-making and control inside the beltway of Washington, D.C. Maybe I hold these views because I'm a former state legislator.
00:19:14.000I spent six years in the Florida House of Representatives and I saw how in state legislatures we can craft responsive policies for our communities.
00:19:24.000And we can do so without the morass and without the one-size-fits-all thinking that usually comes out of Washington, D.C. So I'm not for it in education.
00:19:36.000And I'm not for it in prosecutions either.
00:19:38.000One of the elements of the Republican agenda released by Kevin McCarthy, that I do not believe is a MAGA agenda, says that we would somehow insert the United States Congress into the decisions being made by local woke DAs to not prosecute criminals.
00:19:54.000Now, I'm all for Congress utilizing its power over United States attorneys because they are tasked with enforcing federal law.
00:20:03.000And so if there are U.S. attorneys who have gone woke, who won't engage in appropriate prosecutorial discretion, then it would be appropriate for us to bring them forward and ask questions.
00:20:31.000When DAs go woke in Florida, my governor removes them.
00:20:35.000That is an explicit power of the governor in every state, in Florida, undeniably.
00:20:43.000And so I really think that where you can have decisions made closer to the people, you need to do that.
00:20:48.000And just to try to Like, fulfill the emotions of a focus group to kind of throw out these tagline policies without bill text, without substance.
00:20:58.000I don't think it really makes us look more credible.
00:21:01.000I think the arguments that I made on the floor are far more credible.
00:21:04.000That we want to empower our people and that we want to stop the weaponizing of our government and we want to stop decision making being ripped away From state legislators who I think have a lot of talent and creativity, and I know that because I've worked with them.
00:21:18.000I know a lot of the ones we have in Florida right now, and they're doing a great job.
00:21:22.000The investigations that I'm proposing, I think at times would emerge from some of the committees, at times would emerge in select committees.
00:21:32.000But Democrats right now are pushing a theory of the case where, you know what?
00:21:37.000Anybody can be investigated for anything, for any reason.
00:21:41.000Donna Brazile made that point on This Week with George Stephanopoulos.
00:21:45.000Take a listen to this jarring admission about the left.
00:21:50.000You know, Donna, Chris Christie says this is slowly moving away from Donald Trump, and I think I actually agree with him.
00:21:55.000But the polling right now is not really showing that, showing among Republican voters he's holding firm.
00:22:00.000Our poll shows him defeating Joe Biden in 2024. Look, Donald Trump is, his house of cards are really crumbling down.
00:22:11.000He's done the investigation just about everywhere.
00:22:14.000We'll put him on the investigation just for showing up.
00:22:19.000A lot of love for the state of Florida right now in the live stream and in the chat.
00:22:23.000Thank you to all who are saying that you're praying for the state of Florida.
00:22:27.000And also a lot of love for Alex Jones.
00:22:30.000If you've been watching what's been happening to Alex Jones in the courtroom, it is anti-American.
00:22:35.000And I am not a spokesperson for Alex Jones.
00:22:38.000He does a fine job of that on his own.
00:22:41.000But I think that to strip someone of the ability to present a substantive defense in a court and to just have a jury impaneled on damages while a struggle session emerges with the litigant's attorney and the defendant...
00:22:55.000It's not like stuff I've ever seen before.
00:22:57.000We don't have the clip for you, but I do appreciate that we have commenters that acknowledge that what's going on with Alex Jones right now is not something that we typically see in the American judicial process.
00:23:10.000They'll investigate Trump for even stepping foot in Louisiana.
00:23:17.000And you're starting to see that manifest.
00:23:20.000I mean, how many criminal investigations right now are out there attempting to target President Trump, a member of his family, a business associate, a political ally?
00:23:30.000He was such a threat To the corrupt power centers in this country that they just can't let it go and they're afraid we're going to do it again and we just might have to.
00:23:41.000But before the 2024 election, we have critical work to do upon seeing Republicans sworn into the Congress with the committee gavels, with the ability to send subpoenas and engage in investigations.
00:23:54.000And one of the critical questions we have to address is what to do about Hunter Biden.
00:23:59.000I believe that Hunter Biden opens the door into a wide-ranging conspiracy that results in the Biden family, the first family, being compromised, specifically by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:24:15.000You see it in the financial transactions, in the business records.
00:24:18.000And so I wanted to talk to one of the smartest strategists I know, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, about how we would assemble something like this.
00:24:26.000You know, Dr. Gorka is somebody with extensive experience in investigations and in working with legislative bodies to root out corruption.
00:24:35.000He was a strategist for President Trump.
00:24:38.000He has taught At the War College, at the National Defense University, has been an advisor, I think, informally to a lot of members of Congress about committee work, how to ask questions, how to frame up these issues, and I wanted to have a very important conversation with Dr. Gorka today about his advice, his availability, his interest in the work that we have ahead Investigating Hunter Biden.
00:25:07.000Take a listen to that discussion I had with Dr. Sebastian Gorka just moments ago on the Capitol steps.
00:25:14.000Dr. Gorka, thanks for joining us on the Hill, meeting with some of our staff, colleagues.
00:25:19.000There's a lot of discussion now about the funding bill and the shenanigans around Joe Manson's permitting issues, but we're here strategizing about what Republican control is going to look like in the next Congress.
00:25:32.000I got a lot of Republicans right now telling me They're afraid of any impeachment inquiry.
00:25:36.000They're afraid of some of the aggressive oversight tactics that I've been advocating on your show and around the country.
00:25:42.000What's your message to the Republicans that would say, let's take control and just try to calm the waters?
00:25:48.000So I've had it with Republicans behaving as if they're in the minority when they're in the minority and behaving as if they're in the minority when they're in the majority.
00:26:27.000Two million illegals, more fentanyl in one year, killing people than we did in ten years in Vietnam.
00:26:33.000I want to see people go to prison for that.
00:26:35.000But a good start would be to follow Gates' plan for serious investigationary oversight from every stinking committee.
00:26:42.000And we're going to those committees, talking to members.
00:26:45.000We're trying to find those real strong advocates on each and every committee that can pursue that.
00:26:50.000But then there is this Hunter Biden problem, because it doesn't fit neatly into any one committee.
00:26:56.000So there's been some talk on the Hill today about what a select committee would look like to be able to delve into the compromise of the first family.
00:27:04.000And it really goes well beyond Hunter.
00:27:07.000You know, you might need some people from the Intelligence Committee, Foreign Affairs, Financial Services, Judiciary.
00:27:11.000You might need all those areas of expertise.
00:27:14.000Would you wait before setting up a Hunter Biden Select Committee, or do you think that should be part of the first week of Republican control of the Congress?
00:27:25.000There needs to be a select committee because, as you say, it covers so many different areas, primarily national security and corruption.
00:27:31.000So financial, China, Russia, you name it.
00:27:33.000But if you don't start on day one, I think it sends a signal to the people out there, including independents and Democrats, who said they would not have voted for Biden had they known about the laptop.
00:27:43.000If you don't start day one, you don't look serious.
00:27:46.000And I know you've got certain issues with leadership, especially in the Senate, but you've got to show serious intent day one.
00:27:55.000We don't need the Senate for a House Select Committee on Hunter Biden, multi-jurisdictional.
00:28:01.000Subpoena power day one, obviously, has to be vested with that subpoena power.
00:28:05.000And the benchmark seems to be the January 6th committee in terms of staffing and resources.
00:28:11.000You know, the January 6th committee has now spent millions and millions of dollars, and they can't even convince the Democrats in Congress that no cops were bludgeoned to death on January 6th.
00:28:21.000Do you think that we look at a model like that J6 committee and then have some real strategy as a part of that movement?
00:28:28.000I would say the model is there, the precedence is there, the amount of money that you are authorized to expend and the coverage every single day.
00:28:38.000Don't hire somebody from Hollywood to manage it because then it looks like you're not serious.
00:28:42.000Hire people, I don't know, with top secret clearances who actually know what they're talking about, who can talk in open session and behind closed doors.
00:29:02.000We cannot start in January assembling the talent to lead these committees, getting the staff in place, I'd say, in the next, you know...
00:29:10.000For 30 to 45 days, we need to be assembling the staff, preparing the draft subpoenas, preparing the preservation demands, and really building out the human talent that we're going to need to make the case to the American people that the first families compromised.
00:29:24.000Build the team, select the experts, select the witnesses, and also the baskets under which you're going to investigate, because it is an endless stream.
00:29:34.000Just when you've got one tail of the dragon, there's another one.
00:29:38.000So whether it's Whether ATF abuse, whether it's drug abuse, whether it's China, whether it's banking, whether it's Russia, whether it's influence, whether it's what the Biden brothers did in Iraq.
00:30:21.000If the subpoenas are coming day one, we need to start drafting them now, getting them ready, and ensuring that we are prepared to execute on the MAGA oversight agenda.
00:30:32.000Make sure you're subscribed with notifications turned on.
00:30:35.000That is the way to make sure that more Americans see our content, engage in the issues, and ensure that we have a better country tomorrow and in all the days that come.
