In this episode, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-GAZETTE) takes on the Deep State and the deep state s campaign to smear him as a traitor and a spy. Rep. Gaetz has been accused of spying on President Trump, lying to Congress, and even lying to his own constituents.
00:01:30.000The America First movement demands supporters who are informed and active.
00:01:35.000I'm here to give you details nobody else has and a strategy to use them.
00:01:41.000I'm going to make you the smartest person in every political debate.
00:01:44.000And we're going to use argument and information to take back power and save our country.
00:01:50.000To win the battle our side needs warriors, tough operatives.
00:01:54.000Our opponents know this and they try to pick us off one by one.
00:01:58.000They tried with a brave Congressman Devin Nunes when he told President Trump that our own government was spying on him.
00:02:05.000Nunes was pursued by the ethics committee and his staff threatened with criminal prosecution.
00:02:11.000The idea that the House ethics committee is taking up a formal investigation of whether Devin Nunes broke the rules of the House.
00:02:19.000The account claimed Rosenstein threatened to turn the tables on the committee regarding the Russia probe.
00:02:24.000Let me just add that watching the deputy attorney general launch a sustained personal attack against a congressional staffer in retaliation for vigorous oversight was astonishing and disheartening.
00:02:33.000Also having the nation's number one for these matters law enforcement officer threatened to subpoena your calls and your emails was downright chilly.
00:02:41.000Is it possible that the Republican chairman of the House Intel Committee has been compromised by the Russians?
00:02:46.000Is it possible that they actually have a Russian agent running the House Intel Committee?
00:02:50.000They tried with America's best Congressman Jim Jordan attempting unsuccessfully to link him to sexual abuse.
00:03:03.000A college wrestling referee says he complained to Ohio State University's wrestling coaches about sexual misconduct by one of the team doctors, but they did nothing about it.
00:03:14.000One of the assistant coaches at the time was current Congressman Jim Jordan.
00:03:18.000Accusers believe it was known by Republican Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan at the time, an assistant wrestling coach at the university from 1986 to 1994.
00:03:29.000Jordan denies knowing anything about the allegations before accusers spoke out this spring.
00:03:35.000If there had been any reports of abuse, I would have reported it.
00:04:59.000I would like to talk with you immediately about the current federal investigation and the indictment that is about to be filed against your son.
00:05:06.000I have a plan that can make his future legal and political problems go away.
00:06:43.000Why would you be associating with somebody like that?
00:06:46.000So, I was contacted by David McGee in October.
00:06:51.000And he asked me to meet with somebody, with Stephen Alford, because Alford wanted to help with Levinson and believe that he can get him out.
00:07:01.000Now, after the rescue attempt fell apart in July, I had no contact with Dave after that.
00:16:58.000Now there is one tape we've seen and it relates to the true enemy of the people, CNN, and how they report on me.
00:17:07.000Inspiring journalists at Project Veritas obtained secret recordings of a CNN director
00:17:13.000admitting that the reason CNN keeps running stories to propagandize my life is because I'm a problem for the Democratic Party.
00:17:23.000If the agenda, say, is to like get, like Matt Gates right now, like this Republican,
00:17:30.000he's a problem for the Democratic Party because he's so conservative.
00:17:34.000And he could cause a lot of hiccups in passing applause.
00:17:38.000So it's, it would be great for the Democratic Party to get him out.
00:17:44.000So we're going to keep running those stories to get hurt again.
00:17:48.000I guess I'd rather be targeted for being effective than to be the weak, controlled opposition embodied by too many Republicans in Congress.
00:17:57.000Sadly, but not surprisingly, following this favorable reporting to me,
00:18:01.000Twitter removed Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe from their platform permanently.
00:18:07.000They got busted doing so to promote their leftist politics and their lies stay on air while the truth is censored, deplatformed, and buried.
00:18:18.000And when CNN's flagship program, Cuomo primetime, invited Bob Kent on air, the guy looked guilty as hell.
00:18:25.000CNN and big tech don't get to redefine truth regarding my life or yours.
00:18:30.000And that is why we will always keep fighting back.
00:18:33.000One more thing about Kent and McGee, the guys purportedly holding this inside information as they attempted to extort my family.
00:18:42.000They were reportedly paid by the U.S. State Department $75,000.
00:23:02.000And that's what America First is to me is serving the people and not the swamp.
00:23:06.000And isn't it crazy that there are just these issues that are thought of one way inside of the beltway of Washington and the exact opposite all over the country?
00:23:17.000You think about these wars that go on forever.
00:23:19.000You think about the immigration that is totally unchecked at our border.
00:23:23.000It baffles me that the ecosystem that you described can create like an alternative truth with inside inside of Washington.
00:23:30.000We're like it's going to be great for all of us when America is at war forever or when we drive down the wages of our people or when we allow these bureaucrats to have excessive control over people's lives all over America.
00:23:43.000I mean, you were one of the first voices on Fauci to really call out a power grab.
00:23:50.000And I remember feeling that way being out on the ledge with Robert Mueller.
00:23:55.000You know, when Mueller was first appointed, I was one of the first people to say, wait a second.
00:24:00.000Why are we deviating from a normal review of what is before us just to go after Trump?
00:24:06.000But the problem with Fauci was he went after the American way of life.
00:24:09.000How did you have such clairvoyance on that?
00:24:12.000How did you know before most Republicans that this was a person in search of power, not delivering helpful health news to the American people?
00:24:21.000The exact same way you knew Robert Mueller was after Trump because it was a political war.
00:24:27.000Just because I'm one of the people, I'm no different.
00:24:32.000I know what Main Street USA says because that's exactly what I say and that's how I feel.
00:24:37.000And it was very obvious to me that when you are hearing people in China trying to say people that worked in these labs that this is this virus escaped the lab.
00:24:49.000And then we're finding out about the gain of function research and that Dr. Fauci funded it through grants through a third party that this money actually went to the Wuhan lab.
00:24:59.000And then if you just it's easy, everyone, all you have to do is watch videos of Dr.
00:25:04.000Fauci and his own words going back years and years and years.
00:25:11.000This is everything that he's watched through a microscope in a Petri dish inside of a lab.
00:25:16.000And now he's getting to see it in real time.
00:25:19.000It's his own Dr. Frankenstein experiment, but yet it's happening actually right in front of him.
00:25:25.000And he's like the orchestra master sitting center stage orchestrating everything.
00:25:30.000And our government is giving him the power to control our country and people's lives and people's deaths because he funded the gain of function, which created that virus from a virus between animals and turned it into a virus that's transmitted between people.
00:25:47.000And that that's so evil, it's the only term for it can be a bio weapon.
00:25:54.000It's it's looking at the truth and not through the lens of politics is how it's easy to come to that conclusion, because those are the facts.
00:26:01.000Well, and it's hard to think of medical power through the lens of political power.
00:26:06.000Right. But these things are now interwoven.
00:26:08.000You know, when I saw all of these connections between Dr.
00:26:14.000Government and this research in China that erupted the virus onto the world, it really got me thinking about all of the dangerous connections that our government seems to have with China,
00:26:25.000whether it is their production of the medical equipment that we need, whether it is the U.S.
00:26:31.000business investment in China for AI centers.
00:27:21.000So is the policy antidote to that renationalizing business, limiting Chinese investment of border adjustment tax from from China?
00:27:30.000I mean, those are the policy concepts that I wouldn't have normally thought of without really appreciating the depth of the problem and how interwoven they are.
00:27:39.000Right. So one thing I really appreciate about you is is you really grabbed a hold of the America first policies early.
00:27:48.000You were you literally were one of the first.
00:27:51.000You're standing right there beside President Trump.
00:27:59.000And I think that's what the American people want.
00:28:01.000That's the only thing that's going to save us.
00:28:03.000But we have to take that same approach with China.
00:28:05.000And I always take people at their word.
00:28:07.000And when I hear President Xi saying next to President Biden, while President Biden is saying that he's going to reduce carbon emissions down to net zero and he wants to cut them in half by 2030.
00:28:22.000But President Xi is beside him and he's saying, oh, well, we're going to ramp up carbon emissions to 2035 and maybe later.
00:28:31.000And then we'll try to bring carbon emissions down to zero by 2060, 10 years after Biden wants the U.S.
00:28:38.000I take that. I listen to them and I go, that man is going to increase carbon emissions to increase his economy, to overtake the United States by 2035 or even sooner.
00:28:48.000Our leaders are idiots. They're fools.
00:28:50.000I mean, if they believe that we're going to unilaterally disarm the American economy and that that's going to result in a better environment.
00:29:01.000And I think that one of the challenges we have is that the America first agenda that we embrace is often a lobbyist last agenda.
00:29:08.000Because the lobbyists, they do well in this town when they can use political money to leverage people to vote for things that are not in the best interest of their constituents.
00:29:19.000Now, you and I are the only members of the Republican conference who do not take corporate PAC money.
00:29:25.000They never invite me to those cocktail parties.
00:29:28.000Well, you know, I canceled them before they could cancel me.
00:29:41.000And, you know, maybe just like bring people into a Republican conference meeting.
00:29:47.000And this is where we all get together.
00:29:49.000You know, folks in our districts might think that's about strategy or tactics or about a particular policy matter that we were interested in.
00:29:56.000But what does it focus on in your experience?
00:30:01.000Well, it's been really interesting to me.
00:30:03.000You see, I'm used to running a business where every single morning our staff gets together and we meet in a boardroom and we go over all the construction projects that we have.
00:30:12.000And we talk about problems that we need to solve and we address issues and we talk about customers, what they need and how to meet their needs and how to do a good job and how to make a profit, not a loss.
00:30:23.000And so that's what we do as a business.
00:30:26.000But yet when I joined the Republican conference and became an elected member of Congress, I could not believe what happens in the conference because it's all about altar calls and fundraising.
00:30:38.000Well, that's calling everybody down to please come on down and donate your money to the NRCC.
00:30:45.000And that's what we saw in our meeting just, you know, here it's practically every time we're here.
00:30:52.000And everybody's everybody's name and how much money they've donated to the NRCC is all on a list and it's public.
00:31:00.000And then they hand us a piece of paper on the table that says these are our top 20 Republican members of Congress that we have to fight for and make sure they win their reelections.
00:31:10.000Well, and then I look at that list and I go, ooh, there's about 10 of those folks on this top 20 list that either voted to impeach my favorite president, your favorite president, President Trump, or they voted to kick me off committees.
00:31:29.000And then they want me to donate to make sure those folks get reelected.
00:31:32.000But they don't want you to donate directly to them.
00:31:34.000They want you to donate to the party bosses so that then that money is recycled back to people who then act in contravention to the interests of the people who donated you the money in the first place.
00:31:45.000And then that money, what everyone needs to understand, will help those candidates or these Congress to get congressmen and women to get reelected.
00:31:54.000And that money will work against like an America first candidate to replace them.
00:32:01.000And I am concerned that the influence that special interests have on our politicians is impacting the vaccine debate that we're having in this country.
00:37:59.000And I really fear that with some of these globalist entities, America is less important to them than the next round of stock dividends.
00:38:07.000And that's not America first, you know, and right.
00:38:10.000The neo libertarians might be it might might be a little sensitized to that commentary, but it's just true.
00:38:16.000And I think we're at a different point in our country where enough is enough with just shouldering or shoveling the responsibilities and proclivities of government onto business and then having business go executed on behalf of government.
00:38:29.000But with that melded corporate communism, number one threat to our liberty really is big government.
00:38:35.000But the number two threat is probably big business.
00:38:37.000And speaking of liberty, there are January six detainees right now that we've asked questions about.
00:38:44.000I don't think you and I have prejudged any particular case or any particular circumstance.
00:38:49.000But it is our job as you know, through Article one to have oversight over the executive branch.
00:38:56.000And when we've asked questions about access to counsel, access to exculpatory evidence, we haven't gotten any answers.
00:39:33.000Several of us have positioned you on judiciary, Louie Gohmert on judiciary and Paul Gosar on oversight,
00:39:43.000which both of those committees have oversight of the Department of Justice.
00:39:47.000They would not even let us in the front door while they told us that they would wait and see if someone could speak with us,
00:39:53.000even though we had let them know we were coming well in advance and have been asking questions and sending letters for months now.
00:40:00.000We got left out cold on the concrete while the radical left and we watch them while we're standing there.
00:40:06.000We're watching them coming down the sidewalk this way, coming down the sidewalk this way, climbing out, coming out of the crevices, you know, coming to attack us.
00:40:28.000And so, you know, what I witnessed when we went to the Department of Justice to me was I thought, wow,
00:40:35.000we could be like the Republican members at the baseball game that were shot at by a communist that followed and loved Bernie Sanders and no one would have cared.
00:40:45.000We were standing out there just saying, hey, we just want to ask questions, the same questions we've been asking.
00:41:09.000And so when the left is able to categorize our nonviolent speech to try to animate political activity in a free country as violence,
00:41:19.000what they're really doing is justifying actual violence against us or against the MAGA movement
00:41:26.000or really to facilitate the pursuit of any of those who would have an America First perspective through the lens of, like, national security concerns.
00:41:45.000And the reason those folks haven't been let out, in my opinion, is that the national security state has to justify that this is an ongoing national security threat
00:41:54.000so that they can access these exquisite authorities and then turn those authorities of surveillance and disruption against a legitimate political movement
00:42:04.000that you and I are a part of leading along with President Trump.
00:43:48.000And what we found there were a number of hundreds actually of really fired up Americans.
00:43:53.000And then you actually threw a beach party.
00:43:56.000And could you just share with folks how you came to the creativity of, well, if there's a place we want to get together with some friends, take some photos, give some hugs.
00:44:06.000How did you come to the proposition that it would be the beach?
00:44:09.000We had to go to the beach because during the shutdowns in California, I was always just blown away that churches were closed.
00:44:17.000But I would see every Sunday videos just all over of Christians going to the beach and they would worship and celebrate and be together at the beach because it was the only place they couldn't be canceled.
00:44:30.000And so when the radical left, like, just descended on us with everything they had, I mean-
00:45:12.000They were so hateful, screaming and cussing and saying all their nastiness over there, yelling at us.
00:45:18.000But then we went to the beach after that and just had that great time with some of our most wonderful supporters because they can't cancel us there.
00:45:26.000And it is just so important for me, for my own mental health, to get out of Washington and to get out into the country and to be with the people that we fight so hard for.
00:45:37.000You know, and I think that that is something I look forward to definitely with you is to whatever the forum, whatever the venue, whatever the place to continue to show people that we are fighting for them.
00:45:48.000And really, this is a question I've thought a lot about.
00:45:52.000You have redefined the role of a member of Congress because I'm unaware of any other circumstance where literally upon your swearing in, I mean, I don't know that the ink was dry on your election certificate before the Democrats removed you from the Education and Labor Committee.
00:46:09.000If they came back to you now and said, Congresswoman Green, we've had enough.
00:46:14.000You've overseen the entire workflow on the floor of the House of Representatives.
00:46:19.000You've showed up at committees you aren't on and been able to make your case more than actual committee members.
00:46:25.000You have you're like the air traffic controller of the America First movement with this perspective.
00:46:31.000And what we'd really like to do is put you back on the Education and Labor Committee, because then you'll be in six hour sessions on, you know, the latest developments on instructional materials for seventh graders.
00:46:42.000And they'll send you to get a field hearing to, you know, Susquehanna to spend time at a high school or whatever they'll send you to do.
00:46:50.000It would be very different if you were on that committee than how you spend your day today animating a movement and really becoming one of the leaders of it.
00:47:00.000Would you take the committee assignment back if they offered it?
00:47:05.000We're far more effective going out all over the country and encouraging moms and dads to to fight their school boards.
00:47:12.000These passionate mothers that care about their children so much are going to fight CRT out of the schools to run for school board positions.
00:47:19.000Won't they be won't they be our future Congress members?
00:48:09.000And so this is why we have to keep going and doing our rallies and getting that message across as they can't cancel us because we refuse to be canceled.
00:48:18.000So right now, while Democrats and Nancy Pelosi and them are just running this place however they want, I would never waste one second on a useless committee.
00:48:28.000Well, I have said publicly that if I were in charge of the House of Representatives, I'd have you run in the budget committee because you have a very project management style of approach that would be really good throughout the enterprise of government.
00:48:40.000Well, Marjorie, this has been a great conversation.
00:48:43.000You are a great firebrand and inspiration not only to me, but to many of my constituents.
00:48:47.000And I think President Trump says it best.
00:48:54.000We'll have new content each and every week, but make sure you're subscribed on your podcast listening platform of choice, Facebook, Rumble and definitely YouTube.
