00:00:00.000 Matt Gaetz, the biggest firebrand inside of the House of Representatives.
00:00:07.520 You're not taking Matt Gaetz off the board, okay?
00:00:09.920 Because Matt Gaetz is an American patriot and Matt Gaetz is an American hero.
00:00:14.660 We will not continue to allow the Uniparty to run this town without a fight. 1.00
00:00:19.840 I want to thank you, Matt Gaetz, for holding the line.
00:00:24.360 Matt Gaetz is a courageous man.
00:00:26.360 If we had hundreds of Matt Gaetz in D.C., the country turns around. It's that simple.
00:00:31.920 He's so tough. He's so strong. He's smart, and he loves this country. Matt Gaetz.
00:00:38.020 It is the honor of my life to fight alongside each and every one of you.
00:00:43.240 We will save America. It's choose your fighter time. Send in the firebrands. 1.00
00:00:48.600 Explain to us what happened with you and Kevin McCarthy.
00:00:58.280 Well, I was doing an interview with Claudia from NPR, a lovely lady, and she was asking me a question.
00:01:06.100 And at that time, I got elbowed in the back, and it kind of caught me off guard because it was a clean shot to the kidneys.
00:01:13.580 And I turned back, and there was Kevin.
00:01:16.360 And for a minute, I was kind of, what the heck just happened?
00:01:20.540 And then I chased after him. 0.91
00:01:23.580 Of course, as I've stated many times, he's a bully with $17 million in a security detail. 0.65
00:01:30.080 You know, he's the type of guy that, when you're a kid, would throw a rock over the fence and run home and hide behind his mama's skirt. 0.91
00:01:36.140 And he just, you know, he, from behind, that kind of stuff, you know, that's not the way we handle things in East Tennessee.
00:01:44.040 If we have a problem with somebody, I'm going to look them in the eye and talk to them.
00:01:47.240 Okay, so he walked down the hallway, hit you with his elbow.
00:01:51.080 Yeah, you can go on Claudia's Twitter account, pretty much, or X account.
00:01:57.100 It's very accurate.
00:01:57.960 Okay, so then just explain.
00:01:59.240 So you chased him?
00:02:00.140 What do you mean you chased him?
00:02:00.880 Well, I just ran after him.
00:02:01.980 I was like, what the heck, you know, why'd you do that?
00:02:03.980 You know, because it was, like I said, if you've ever been hitting the kidneys, it's a little difference.
00:02:08.300 You don't have to hit very hard to cause a little bit of pain, a lot of pain.
00:02:11.060 And so I, and he just, of course, as he always did, does, he just denies it or blames somebody else or something, you know.
00:02:23.680 And it was just a little heated, but I just backed off because there wasn't any, I saw no reason.
00:02:28.720 I wasn't gaining anything from it.
00:02:30.280 And then everybody saw it, so it didn't really matter.
00:02:32.780 Like he responded to?
00:02:34.240 Yeah, yeah.
00:02:34.940 He just acted like, you know, what are you talking about?
00:02:37.680 You know, who are you to, you know, that kind of thing.
00:02:39.980 And it's just, you know, I think that's symptomatic of the problems that he's had in his short tenure as Speaker.
00:02:48.320 And were you face-to-face when you had this interaction?
00:02:50.580 Yeah, but there's security detail, and I get it.
00:02:52.680 They were doing their job, so it wasn't exactly like he didn't, he wouldn't turn around and face me.
00:02:58.580 He kept scurrying and trying to keep people between me and him.
00:03:01.840 And then, so, where did he, were you yelling?
00:03:04.720 I just let it go at that point.
00:03:06.220 It wasn't.
00:03:06.900 Were you yelling?
00:03:07.340 He was, yeah, I raised my voice to him.
00:03:09.700 I thought it was appropriate.
00:03:11.020 You know, you just don't expect a guy who was at one time three steps away from the White House to sucker, hit you with a sucker punch in the hallway.
00:03:19.660 And did he raise his voice back to you?
00:03:21.500 Yeah, just that high-pitched kind of thing, I believe, and that was about it.
00:03:25.980 And did he walk into his office?
00:03:27.280 How did this happen?
00:03:27.780 No, he just kept on walking down the hall.
00:03:29.380 I don't know where his office is now.
00:03:31.440 And, you know, he had his detail and his posse, so to speak, was with him.
00:03:36.300 So did his detail try to stop you?
00:03:38.620 Do what?
00:03:39.080 Did his detail try to stop you?
00:03:40.020 The detail kind of got, one guy got between us there towards the end, but I wasn't looking to knock him out or anything.
00:03:48.340 I just wanted to let him know I know it was him.
00:03:52.400 Were you injured?
00:03:52.940 I don't know, injured, man.
00:03:55.040 I mean, did it hurt?
00:03:58.360 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:59.120 As a matter of fact, it still hurts because it was a shot to the kidneys, and it still hurts, oddly enough.
00:04:03.700 It's not anything I'm going to, I'm not going to, probably not going to do an ethics complaint on him.
00:04:08.200 He's not worth it.
00:04:09.260 You know, he's going to be gone either after Christmas or next year.
00:04:12.580 And like I said, you know, he's got the $17 million, and he's going to keep, you know, he'll be, he's already messing in everybody's races, and we all know that.
00:04:20.200 Are you accusing him of assault?
00:04:22.160 Am I accusing him?
00:04:22.800 Of assault?
00:04:23.580 I don't know.
00:04:24.900 Ask a lawyer.
00:04:26.220 It's over as far as I'm concerned.
00:04:28.200 He said to our colleague Melanie Zanona that this is a tight hallway.
00:04:31.720 He denies this interaction.
00:04:33.400 He says it's a tight hallway, and I bumped into him.
00:04:34.960 He says that this is not an intentional thing.
00:04:37.340 There's 435 congressmen.
00:04:39.100 I was one of eight that voted against him.
00:04:41.860 That hallway was, there's plenty of room.
00:04:44.780 You can walk four side by side.
00:04:46.960 He chose to do what he did.
00:04:48.380 And, you know, it'll end right here.
00:04:50.520 I'm sure it'll just be a little asterisk on his storied career.
00:04:57.860 All right, we are live.
00:04:59.680 Welcome to Firebrand.
00:05:01.100 This is Matt Gaetz.
00:05:02.420 We are broadcasting out of room 2021 of the Rayburn House Office Building here in the Capitol Complex in Washington, D.C.
00:05:08.720 That was Congressman Tim Burchett talking to CNN's Manu Raju about an altercation he had with Kevin McCarthy.
00:05:15.780 We're going to get into it.
00:05:17.140 This has been a wild day on Capitol Hill.
00:05:20.100 We're going to walk you through some of the strangest reports we have ever had about member behavior and goings-on in committees.
00:05:28.160 I don't know if there's a full moon or if Mercury is in retrograde, Joel.
00:05:32.520 Isn't that what you said?
00:05:33.380 Gets everybody acting crazy?
00:05:34.520 But something is up, and we're going to go over that in addition to some of the key findings of the Homeland Security Committee's report on the costs of illegal immigration.
00:05:46.020 We've got testimony from USAID about how your money is being spent in Ukraine.
00:05:50.560 Big things also exploding in the House Oversight Committee today.
00:05:54.200 But when the former speaker is pushing people in the back that they don't like, it's definitely top of mind with a lot of folks.
00:06:04.440 Karen on Facebook says that,
00:06:05.980 I'm just stirring the pot, and I need to do my job.
00:06:08.880 Well, we're going to be getting to all of it, Karen.
00:06:11.900 But first, you heard Burchett there go over this altercation.
00:06:18.560 And the key fact that doesn't make this a he said, she said, is that an NPR reporter, Claudia Grisalas, actually was interviewing Burchett during the whole deal.
00:06:31.420 She put up a tweet thread detailing her firsthand evidentiary account of this altercation between McCarthy and Burchett.
00:06:42.620 So I'm now reading from the report from Claudia Grisalas of NPR, I have never seen this on Capitol Hill.
00:06:50.940 While talking to Tim Burchett after the GOP conference meeting, former Speaker McCarthy walked by with his detail, and McCarthy shoved Burchett.
00:06:59.620 Burchett lunged toward me.
00:07:01.080 I thought it was a joke.
00:07:02.040 It was not, and a chase ensued.
00:07:04.800 Burchett's back was to McCarthy, and his detail was walking by in the hallway, then the lunge.
00:07:10.680 Burchett responded jokingly as McCarthy kept walking.
00:07:14.020 Sorry, Kevin.
00:07:14.760 Didn't mean to elbow.
00:07:16.260 Then seriously yelled, why'd you elbow me in the back, Kevin?
00:07:19.460 Hey, Kevin, you got any guts? 0.99
00:07:21.780 Burchett then looked back at me and said, jerk, referring to McCarthy. 0.99
00:07:25.440 I asked if he had done this before. 0.99
00:07:27.600 Burchett said no.
00:07:28.660 That's when the chase ensued.
00:07:30.060 Burchett took off after McCarthy and his detail.
00:07:33.040 I chased behind with my mic.
00:07:35.040 So it goes over all of the back and forth between McCarthy and Burchett, but that is the first-hand account of this NPR reporter.
00:07:46.140 And, of course, she posted with her story the audio of that encounter just described by her, by Burchett.
00:07:54.660 Here's even more evidence.
00:07:55.680 Take a listen.
00:07:56.000 Hey, Kevin, you got any guts? 0.99
00:08:22.180 Jerk. 0.96
00:08:22.620 Has he done that before? 0.66
00:08:24.540 No.
00:08:26.120 Huh.
00:08:27.120 That's a new move.
00:08:27.900 I'm going to go talk with you.
00:08:31.260 Oh.
00:08:31.620 Oh.
00:08:31.640 Oh.
00:08:40.140 Hey, Kevin, why'd you want to knock me and elbow me in the back? 0.97
00:08:42.840 You got no guts. 0.89
00:08:44.120 You did so.
00:08:44.660 They sit there and the reporter said it right there.
00:08:47.000 What kind of chicken move is that? 1.00
00:08:49.660 You're pathetic, man. 1.00
00:08:51.280 You are so pathetic. 1.00
00:08:53.060 Thank you. 1.00
00:08:57.840 What a jerk. 1.00
00:08:59.940 You need security, Kevin. 1.00
00:09:06.600 Anyway.
00:09:07.080 We're back live, and it does beg the question, why does Kevin McCarthy have a security detail in the first place?
00:09:16.600 He's not the speaker anymore.
00:09:18.580 Mark on Facebook wants Kevin McCarthy charged with assault.
00:09:21.940 Deborah on YouTube says, hopefully, McCarthy has to face an ethics complaint as a result of this.
00:09:28.780 And, Deborah, we're way ahead of you.
00:09:31.080 We have submitted to the House Ethics Committee the information regarding these reports, this evidence, these firsthand accounts.
00:09:40.120 And McCarthy has sought to weaponize the ethics committee.
00:09:44.360 He sought to signal to them that the thing that they ought to do to try to cover for his failings as speaker was to attack me.
00:09:51.840 You heard in a lot of the Manu Raju, Kevin McCarthy therapy session, him reference that I'm just an ethically challenged person.
00:10:02.200 First of all, it seems as though the therapy session that McCarthy had with Manu Raju didn't take and didn't work.
00:10:10.400 There's other video you're going to see today where Kevin McCarthy is responding directly to these accounts from this reporter and from Burchett.
00:10:19.220 And when someone's lying, their register goes up in their voice, and he is squealing like a stuck pig when answering these questions. 0.95
00:10:28.760 Kevin McCarthy is a frequent liar, but that does not mean that he's a good liar. 0.99
00:10:32.460 He's actually a bad liar. 0.98
00:10:34.100 You could tell when he's lying, and it's just absolutely laid bare before everyone to see.
00:10:40.880 And I think the ethics committee should take a look at that conduct because we shouldn't be in a body where we don't use our words, right?
00:10:49.300 Like when we came at McCarthy, it was based on the substance of an agreement we made in January and his inability to comport with that agreement.
00:10:58.040 We came right at him.
00:10:59.620 I gave a speech on the floor.
00:11:01.040 I said, this is what you have to do to avoid a motion to vacate.
00:11:05.040 And instead, we got this bizarre spasm of profanity and false bravado.
00:11:11.340 Now he's been removed.
00:11:12.640 And like Kevin McCarthy went from pushing around millions of dollars in lobbyist money to pushing Tim Burchett in the back.
00:11:20.240 Like how the mighty have fallen.
00:11:22.760 There was also weirdness today in the United States Senate.
00:11:26.980 Mark Wayne Mullen, I've never really seen this guy get worked up about like the fentanyl crisis, the national debt, but he got all kinds of exercised against a union witness today in the United States Senate.
00:11:42.980 Take a listen.
00:11:43.420 Pretends like he's self-made.
00:11:47.600 Sir, I wish he was in the truck with me when I was building my plumbing company myself and my wife was running the office because I sure remember working pretty hard in long hours.
00:11:58.360 Pretends like he's self-made. 0.98
00:12:01.240 What a clown. 1.00
00:12:02.880 Fraud. 1.00
00:12:03.840 Always has been.
00:12:05.600 Always will be.
00:12:07.380 Quit the tough guy act and these Senate hearings.
00:12:10.620 You know where to find me.
00:12:12.200 Any place, any time, cowboy.
00:12:16.440 Sir, this is a time.
00:12:17.360 This is a place.
00:12:18.400 If you want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults.
00:12:21.300 We can finish it here.
00:12:22.460 Okay, that's fine.
00:12:23.280 Perfect.
00:12:23.900 You want to do it now?
00:12:24.660 I'd love to do it right now. 0.98
00:12:25.680 Well, stand your butt up then. 0.99
00:12:26.640 You stand your butt up. 0.99
00:12:27.940 Oh, hold it. 0.99
00:12:28.420 Oh, stop it.
00:12:29.660 Is that your solution?
00:12:30.500 Hold it.
00:12:31.300 No, no.
00:12:31.720 Sit down.
00:12:32.320 Sit down.
00:12:33.080 Okay.
00:12:33.440 No, no.
00:12:33.800 You're a United States senator.
00:12:35.320 Sit down.
00:12:35.600 Actively.
00:12:36.000 Okay.
00:12:36.480 Sit down, please.
00:12:37.400 All right.
00:12:37.760 Can I respond?
00:12:38.660 Hold it.
00:12:39.360 Hold it.
00:12:41.320 If we can't.
00:12:42.340 No, I have the money.
00:12:43.300 I'm sorry.
00:12:43.900 This is what he said.
00:12:44.900 You'll have your time.
00:12:46.100 Okay.
00:12:46.560 Can I respond?
00:12:47.180 No, you can't.
00:12:50.680 I've never quite seen anything like that in a United States Senate hearing.
00:12:53.860 Red on YouTube says the Oklahoma senator's outburst was weird.
00:12:58.220 I thought it was weird, too.
00:12:59.320 I have frequently used the statements of witnesses in the past to impeach them, but I tried to use, like, my brain and my words and logic and reason, tying that to some consequence, maybe defunding things that aren't working. 0.91
00:13:13.640 I mean, like, Mark Wayne Mullen beating some guy's ass who doesn't like him in a Senate committee room isn't going to help his constituents.
00:13:21.660 It's not going to ensure that we're in any better position.
00:13:24.000 You know what, Mark Wayne Mullen, if you want to fight, let's actually get into the fights that matter on our budget, on our border, where you've been kind of noticeably absent.
00:13:32.980 So, with Mark Wayne Mullen, it's a lot of tough talk.
00:13:36.420 That was a real strange display.
00:13:38.100 And maybe the hero of that entire exchange was Bernie Sanders, who knows, kind of the get-off-my-lawn old-grandfather type telling him to sit down.
00:13:46.940 There were also fireworks today in the House Oversight Committee hearing.
00:13:51.720 And to set the backdrop here, you know, Chairman Comer has laid out how the Biden family has really engaged in widespread corruption, international influence peddling.
00:14:02.540 And the common refrain from Democrats defending Joe Biden is that, well, they might have been involved in that influence peddling, but Joe never got the benefit.
00:14:13.600 Well, now we've got the bank records and the actual check to Joe Biden, where the gains were ill-gotten and then sent from a different family member to Joe Biden.
00:14:23.280 Again, Jared Moskowitz is a Democrat from Florida.
00:14:28.380 He then found out that the Comer family has an inter-family loan as well.
00:14:34.620 And Moskowitz is making the claim against Chairman Comer that there's some sort of hypocrisy.
00:14:39.920 But that is absurd when you consider the fact that in the Comer family, there is no allegation that the gain is ill-gotten.
00:14:46.460 That is why it is relevant and important as to Joe Biden, but it's just family as it relates to people who aren't engaged in the foreign corrupt influence peddling.
00:14:57.360 I think that could have been easily explained.
00:15:00.300 But instead, we got this.
00:15:02.780 Take a listen.
00:15:06.060 But you and Goldman, who is Mr. Trust Fund, continue to try to—
00:15:11.700 Reclaiming my time.
00:15:12.680 No, I'm not going to give you your time back.
00:15:14.580 We can stop the clock.
00:15:16.460 You all continue to—you look like a smurf here, just going around and all this stuff. 0.54
00:15:21.420 Now, listen.
00:15:21.660 Mr. Chairman, you have—
00:15:23.060 No, no, I'm going to tell you something.
00:15:23.680 No, no, hold on.
00:15:24.460 If we're not on time, we can—
00:15:26.280 You continue to spew disinformation.
00:15:27.080 You have gone on TV and said the president did something illegal.
00:15:31.180 You're doing stuff with your brother.
00:15:33.240 The American people have the same questions.
00:15:35.260 Why should they believe you?
00:15:36.820 Why should they believe you?
00:15:38.200 Why should they believe you?
00:15:39.380 There's a different rule for the president.
00:15:40.980 There's a different rule for you.
00:15:42.080 Why should they believe what you're saying, Mr. Chairman?
00:15:44.880 Why?
00:15:45.140 You go on Fox News and say loans and deals are a way to evade taxes.
00:15:50.300 We don't know if that's what you're doing or not.
00:15:51.820 We don't know.
00:15:52.720 We have no idea.
00:15:53.420 We're supposed to take your word for it.
00:15:55.300 But when the president says something—
00:15:56.360 Well, you've already been proven a liar, Mr. Moskowitz.
00:15:59.020 What's that? 0.98
00:15:59.520 You've already been proven a liar today. 0.57
00:16:01.220 Who's proven me a liar? 0.97
00:16:02.320 You?
00:16:02.940 Yes.
00:16:03.300 Your word means nothing, Mr. Chairman.
00:16:04.920 Go to my hometown.
00:16:06.360 There's a camera crew there today, an opposition research crew there today.
00:16:11.120 Mr. Chairman, this seems to have gotten under your skin.
00:16:14.600 I'll pay for your ticket.
00:16:15.780 I think the American people have lots of questions, Mr. Chairman, and perhaps you should sit maybe for a deposition.
00:16:20.000 I will be happy.
00:16:21.420 That was spicy.
00:16:26.000 I see a lot of you on the live stream right now are asking questions about impeachment.
00:16:30.260 You're angry that the impeachment of Mayorkas was tabled when eight Republicans joined with Democrats to table it.
00:16:37.200 I, too, share your frustration about that.
00:16:39.340 We've talked a lot about how Mayorkas deserves impeachment. 0.95
00:16:42.660 Matter of fact, we've got a big report in moments we're going to go over from the Homeland Security Committee.
00:16:47.420 But when Marjorie Taylor Greene brings these votes to the floor, whether it's impeaching Mayorkas or Ray, Garland, Biden, Harris, here's what she's showing you.
00:17:00.060 And you're not going to like hearing this, but it's the truth.
00:17:02.980 We don't have the votes to impeach anyone right now.
00:17:06.860 We've got a lot of Republicans who do not believe that the impeachment tool should be used against these folks.
00:17:13.740 And I'm left wondering, what accountability tool are you waiting for?
00:17:18.780 We allow a lot of these folks to evade subpoenas.
00:17:23.380 We haven't brought contempt to the floor when we've been jerked around.
00:17:27.700 We always allow them to show up at the last second.
00:17:31.000 No real accountability, no real punishment.
00:17:33.200 And then on the budget, you're going to see Democrats and Republicans today voting together to just continue the budgetary priorities of Joe Biden and the policies of Nancy Pelosi.
00:17:45.400 Are you punishing them there?
00:17:46.780 And now impeachment off the table.
00:17:49.800 So for all of the discussion about how much these folks deserve impeachment, and many of them do, it's not going to happen with this team of House Republicans.
00:18:00.060 It's just not.
00:18:00.740 That is a fact.
00:18:04.140 There are facts that have been suppressed on another matter I want to discuss, and that is the vaccine.
00:18:09.760 So yesterday, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene really stepped forward with great leadership and led a committee hearing on vaccine injuries.
00:18:18.300 And I worry about even sharing with you the things that are actually going on in Congress about this subject,
00:18:24.320 because you never know, on the platforms where you are consuming this podcast, the censorship has gotten so bad.
00:18:30.840 We're even pointing out what medical professionals and congressional witnesses are saying.
00:18:35.360 Even citing senators can somehow get you tagged or labeled or ticketed, shadow banned, censored.
00:18:43.920 But you need to know what is happening.
00:18:46.880 I think Dr. Robert Malone has done some of the most extensive research on vaccine injuries.
00:18:53.380 He's seen how widespread they are.
00:18:55.300 This was the evidence he presented to Congress yesterday.
00:18:57.940 Take a listen.
00:19:00.540 And I think the Operation Warp Speed, the idea that, look, we need to move with a sense of urgency,
00:19:05.620 maybe not at the pace that government is historically not very effective at, you know, seemed appealing up front.
00:19:13.240 But now, with the benefit of hindsight, could we assess that Warp Speed was successful or not?
00:19:20.580 In my opinion, what we've learned, remember, it's now four years.
00:19:26.020 In my opinion, what we've learned is that the collective wisdom of decades of regulatory science,
00:19:33.360 as it relates to vaccines and other medical products, was appropriate.
00:19:37.880 There is a reason why these products typically require up to a decade to be proven to be safe and effective.
00:19:47.300 And it was not prudent and not in the interest of protecting the citizens of the United States or the world
00:19:55.680 to bypass those time-tested processes that have basically been agreed upon
00:20:04.340 through various forms of informal international treaties.
00:20:07.880 In order to, my words are, jam a product through a process in order to get it out,
00:20:17.800 to respond to a false threat.
00:20:20.860 Remember the underlying thesis here is that we had 3.4% case fatality rate.
00:20:27.440 This was told to us again and again and again, and it was a lie.
00:20:31.360 So let's stay on that question of the fatality rate and how many of our fellow Americans
00:20:40.820 were the victims of a process that Dr. Malone just described there as jammed through.
00:20:47.080 I think some of the most searing data in this committee hearing on vaccine injuries
00:20:53.140 came from Senator Ron Johnson, who joined us with this presentation.
00:20:57.140 This is CDC and FDA's own numbers, and yet, you know, through all the social media censorship directed by,
00:21:08.600 unconstitutionally directed by the Biden administration, people just don't want to see this.
00:21:14.600 But these are the true numbers.
00:21:18.060 The first five drugs that are listed here, this is over 28 years of reporting on the VAIR system
00:21:26.060 and the FAIR system, the FDA adverse event reporting system.
00:21:29.560 You can see ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine are pretty safe drugs, as is dexamethasone.
00:21:35.940 The two drugs below, this is since the COVID pandemic, remdesivir and the COVID vaccines.
00:21:44.940 Now, I don't know how anybody can take a look at our response to COVID and not claim it was
00:21:50.040 anything but a miserable failure, where 4% of the world's population, we experienced supposedly 1.00
00:21:55.520 16% of the deaths.
00:21:58.300 Now, we also had practicing physicians there, and one area that Congresswoman Greene focused 0.99
00:22:11.680 in on was obstetrics.
00:22:13.820 When doctors are dealing with pregnant women, the creation of life, certainly injections, 1.00
00:22:19.440 vaccines, particularly with this type of therapy should draw the strictest of scrutiny.
00:22:27.580 And we had an OBGYN Dr. Biss before us with very concerning results that she analyzed from
00:22:34.240 her practice and beyond.
00:22:35.460 Take a listen to Dr. Biss.
00:22:39.420 My average miscarriage rate in 2020 month to month was 4%.
00:22:43.720 That was normal.
00:22:45.720 I had done a video where I wrongly said that my miscarriage rate had increased by 50% because
00:22:52.420 I was put on the spot and I didn't have my dad in front of me.
00:22:55.820 I was wrong.
00:22:56.820 The average miscarriage rate from year to year went up 100%.
00:23:00.480 In 2021, the average miscarriage rate month to month was 7% to 8%.
00:23:06.520 We peaked in November of that year for some reason.
00:23:09.200 That's actually when a non-clinical staff member came up to me and said, Dr. Biss, do you realize
00:23:13.860 we've had eight miscarriages this month?
00:23:16.360 Which in a practice that delivers 20 to 25 patients, that's a huge number.
00:23:22.000 In 2022, the average month to month rate was 15%.
00:23:25.660 Now, that was up until November.
00:23:28.320 I will tell you in December, I've never seen this before.
00:23:30.700 We had 41 newly registered patients, 13 of them lost their babies.
00:23:35.360 So that's 25% right there.
00:23:38.020 And then in January and February of 2023, it still remained high.
00:23:43.060 Didn't normalize until June of this year, then went up a little bit and came down in September.
00:23:48.980 So we're still seeing effects.
00:23:52.320 You asked how many patients had the vaccine and then lost their babies.
00:23:57.380 That's hard to determine.
00:23:58.840 I mean, I can tell you 60% of my patients got vaccinated.
00:24:03.340 But the problem is if they're brand new to the practice, I haven't seen them yet
00:24:07.380 because I'm the only person in my practice that asks every patient, have you gotten a vaccine?
00:24:12.980 How many, which brand, when, have you had COVID, how many times?
00:24:17.220 Because whether we like it or not, that's part of your medical history now.
00:24:21.260 I'm the only one that asks those questions.
00:24:26.420 We're back live.
00:24:27.760 Thank you, Dr. Biss, for asking those key questions so that we can start to correlate this data.
00:24:32.540 When you hear these high rates of miscarriages, when you hear about the devastating health consequences
00:24:38.860 that Senator Johnson discussed, your heart goes out and you wonder, well, what can we even start to do
00:24:44.340 to remediate this great harm that people may have suffered and may be able to prove in a court of law?
00:24:50.960 There was even an attorney who joined us.
00:24:52.740 And what frustrates me is that too much of what the Congress has been doing from a policy standpoint
00:24:58.300 has been to shield big pharma from liability when they cause harm.
00:25:04.700 And I think there is corruption at the core of that.
00:25:07.100 It was the substance of my contribution to this hearing.
00:25:10.340 Take a listen.
00:25:13.140 Dr. Malone, one of my grave concerns is that all of the vaccine injured may not know that they are in the class of the vaccine injured
00:25:21.740 because people get blood clots and pulmonary embolisms probably because of the vaccine,
00:25:28.060 but also probably for other reasons as well.
00:25:31.040 Dr. Abyss, when we look at these tragic consequences of pregnancy, they can at times occur in the absence of a vaccine.
00:25:40.860 So what advice would you give us as policymakers to try to really disaggregate the symptoms of vaccine injury
00:25:50.700 and those consequences from those that may have occurred otherwise?
00:25:54.620 Thank you, Mr. Gates, for your informed question.
00:26:02.480 You are correct in saying that it is an enormous challenge.
00:26:07.180 Just as the virus disease itself largely overlaps with what's called the common cold now in terms of symptoms,
00:26:15.360 and it's very difficult to distinguish.
00:26:17.200 Likewise, these clusters of symptoms are very difficult to distinguish from background noise in some cases.
00:26:27.720 That's the job of the CDC, by the way, is to provide that type of analysis objectively in a nonpartisan fashion.
00:26:37.140 And as even the New York Times has acknowledged, the CDC has become a partisan political operation.
00:26:44.760 So we are left in the absence of reliable data by a federal agency tasked to provide that data to allow the discernment of your question.
00:26:56.560 And the way that this would normally be done is to look for clusters of symptoms that correlate with a known disease or toxicity
00:27:04.520 and then identify patients who have those clusters.
00:27:08.740 Practicing physicians currently, even those that aren't subject to the many professional and financial disincentives to be open and transparent about these things that you're mentioning,
00:27:24.680 I'm choosing my words, are subjected to an enormous amount of not only propaganda or psyops, as has the entire public been subjected to it,
00:27:37.600 but also enormous numbers of disincentives to disclose adverse events and disclose what might appear to be vaccine-related problems.
00:27:48.700 I hate to interrupt you, but that should be illegal.
00:27:51.020 It should be illegal if someone is engaged in the practice of medicine or in the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry for people to try to disincentivize access to the information.
00:28:02.880 And it's easy for us to blame the CDC, but frankly, they, in a way, work for us because we're the ones that authorize the funds for the things that they do and don't do.
00:28:12.240 And so, you know, I think that one of the things we've got to work on probably is legislation that directs them to those data, to those clusters,
00:28:19.920 and that then disallows the corrupt activities that you seem to be highlighting.
00:28:25.500 We're back live. That shows how high the hill is to climb indeed, and we will stay on that work.
00:28:33.540 Again, thank you to Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for setting up that field hearing to get us that evidence
00:28:38.840 and begin what is going to be a long road ahead for a lot of people.
00:28:43.020 We also have news regarding the continuing resolution that the House is going to be voting on very soon to have a stopgap funding measure.
00:28:51.120 Yesterday's episode went into the detail of what that includes and doesn't include and really detailed out my critique of that continuing resolution.
00:29:01.500 And on the heels of it, we have a statement that we want to share with you, released today from the House Freedom Caucus,
00:29:07.280 titled, No More Rolling Over Today to Fight Tomorrow.
00:29:11.380 Today, the House Freedom Caucus released the following official position.
00:29:14.120 The House Freedom Caucus opposes the proposed clean continuing resolution as it contains no spending reductions,
00:29:21.760 no border security, and not a single meaningful win for the American people.
00:29:26.640 Republicans must stop negotiating against ourselves over fears of what the Senate may do with the promise to roll over today,
00:29:34.440 and we'll fight tomorrow.
00:29:35.940 While we remain committed to working with Speaker Johnson, we need bold change.
00:29:40.840 That from the House Freedom Caucus today, I am in full agreement with that statement.
00:29:47.120 I endorse it completely, even though I'm not a member of the House Freedom Caucus.
00:29:50.780 I often align on these big fights about the budget, and I'm glad the House Freedom Caucus is in the fight.
00:29:57.600 We need more House Republicans in that battle. 0.99
00:30:00.440 I had a good conversation today with Budget Chairman Jody Arrington,
00:30:03.360 and he really wants to move a balanced budget to the floor that not only addresses some of the discretionary spending,
00:30:11.100 but a lot of the entitlement spending.
00:30:13.780 And we have to have honest discussions about where we are going from a fiscal standpoint,
00:30:19.480 because if we don't, then you live in a time where you earn what you earn.
00:30:26.820 You have earned what you earn.
00:30:28.180 You have what you have.
00:30:29.180 But each and every day, your government is printing billions more dollars
00:30:34.400 and diluting your life and your money and your savings.
00:30:40.300 And the government does that without even the hint of itemized review
00:30:46.640 on the programs that are sucking up so much of this money.
00:30:51.940 So we've got to get on that.
00:30:53.460 One of the things that really is reflective of the waste of federal spending, USAID.
00:31:01.680 USAID is an entity that takes your money and functions as a global venture capital fund
00:31:08.240 overlaid with a hell of a lot of wokeness.
00:31:11.840 And now you've got testimony from a top Biden official at USAID saying that we need to print more money
00:31:22.100 and dilute your dollar so that we save the Ukrainians from inflation.
00:31:31.380 Take a listen.
00:31:32.500 At this time, there is no funding left for direct budget support.
00:31:39.460 Without further appropriations, the government of Ukraine would need to use emergency measures
00:31:43.720 such as printing money or not paying critical salaries,
00:31:47.220 which could lead to hyperinflation and severely damage the war effort.
00:31:51.660 USAID has also exhausted all of its supplemental humanitarian assistance funds.
00:31:56.580 Additional funding is critical in the face of what remains an enormous need.
00:32:00.760 If Congress does not approve, supplemental funding or partner organizations in Ukraine
00:32:05.640 would have to either reduce the number of people getting this humanitarian assistance by up to 75%
00:32:11.400 or suspend our humanitarian programs entirely.
00:32:17.500 This was such an insane statement.
00:32:20.820 I had to go and read the testimony of this USAID official.
00:32:25.360 They want you to print more money and suffer more inflation
00:32:30.180 so that the Ukrainians don't have to print more money and suffer more inflation.
00:32:35.200 And we're borrowing money that we don't print from China.
00:32:39.900 Remember the neoconservative, geopolitics, group smart think around the theory
00:32:46.480 that we've got to get bogged down in Ukraine so that we look rough and tough to China?
00:32:50.120 I subscribe to the theory that us being bogged down in Ukraine makes us look weaker to China.
00:32:56.660 It makes us look distracted.
00:32:58.380 And when we're harming our own economy through inflation
00:33:01.720 or harming our own national security by going deeper in debt to China
00:33:07.120 to fund the Ukraine apparatus,
00:33:10.580 it is so insulting to have the American taxpayer confronted with testimony like this.
00:33:17.180 We've also recently been confronted with a key report from the House Committee on Homeland Security.
00:33:24.660 It's a bombshell that breaks down how the American taxpayer is on the hook
00:33:29.180 for up to $451 billion needed to care for illegal immigrants
00:33:35.580 now making their home inside of our borders because of Joe Biden's broken border policy.
00:33:41.280 The report's infuriating.
00:33:42.460 Line after line of wasteful spending.
00:33:44.220 Billion dollars here, billion dollars there.
00:33:45.680 All to babysit illegals who never should have been let into our country. 1.00
00:33:50.500 The report was compiled from federal and state records, media reports, and other information.
00:33:55.960 It sheds light on the taxpayer burden.
00:33:58.840 16.8 to 29 million illegal immigrants currently residing inside the United States creating that burden.
00:34:06.740 And the costs come from health care, housing, education, other welfare programs across numerous jurisdictions.
00:34:13.180 All of these millions of illegal aliens that now live amongst you are living higher and higher on the hog. 1.00
00:34:20.700 600,000 have entered during fiscal year 2023 alone.
00:34:26.200 That does not include the 900,000 who entered legally and applied for asylum.
00:34:31.420 I guess we call that legally with quotes because they came here to abuse our asylum system. 1.00
00:34:36.940 And they're just set free in the interior.
00:34:39.120 The system is rigged.
00:34:40.700 It exists to facilitate invasion.
00:34:43.400 And that is exactly what we are now enduring.
00:34:46.180 So the Biden administration and Secretary Mayorkas sit on open borders.
00:34:51.600 And then we get stuck with the costs.
00:34:54.280 The federal government, state governments, local governments.
00:34:58.220 No one's getting off here without paying part of the tab.
00:35:01.480 In New York City alone, Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has stated that the cost of illegal aliens could hit $12 billion in the next three years.
00:35:10.100 And that's just with the current flow.
00:35:11.880 There's no sign that it's slowing.
00:35:13.180 It could be getting worse.
00:35:13.980 And they're giving services to these illegals for everything under the sun, including laundry services for illegals. 0.85
00:35:22.500 If you're a New York City taxpayer, you keep working.
00:35:25.940 You keep paying your taxes so that the illegal aliens can get their laundry paid for. 1.00
00:35:31.620 Of course, hospital and emergency room visits rank among the highest costs that these illegal aliens generate. 1.00
00:35:38.340 I learned that firsthand when I was in Yuma, Arizona.
00:35:40.980 We heard that oftentimes these illegal aliens require three times the amount of resources to discharge them safely. 0.95
00:35:49.520 Every bed they take is a bed that an American can't. 1.00
00:35:52.480 And we're having to drive farther and further to get our health care while a lot of these places are jammed up, overcrowded, and overrun.
00:36:00.620 And then not only do you not get the service, you get the higher costs.
00:36:04.620 Imagine what a grift that is.
00:36:06.900 So they open up the border, bring these people in. 1.00
00:36:09.780 You bear these high costs, and then you don't even get access to the services that you're paying for at rates of multiples.
00:36:16.840 The report shows that the cost of education for around 3.8 million illegal immigrants that aren't proficient in English totaled over $59 billion.
00:36:26.660 In the era of the Democrats' commitment to defunding our police, the stress of illegal immigration is costing $19 billion to our law enforcement budgets and our police budgets.
00:36:38.520 Given the state of violent crime in our country and the dangerous reality on our streets,
00:36:43.040 I mean, the Secret Service was involved in a shooting over a carjacking within the last 48 hours in our nation's capital. 0.99
00:36:48.940 I wouldn't say that our police have the time and money and resources to spare for this kind of crap. 0.96
00:36:55.900 Biden and the Democrats, and even some weak Republicans, they wake up every morning, they see the dangerous reality in our city streets, 0.99
00:37:04.880 and they choose not to put a stop to it.
00:37:06.400 Instead, they choose to enable this illegal immigration, and it stresses our police departments, and it terrorizes our citizens. 0.74
00:37:14.280 As I said earlier, this report is very frustrating.
00:37:17.060 Every American should read it and be similarly concerned.
00:37:20.660 We have got to put a stop to it.
00:37:23.260 We have to close the loopholes and allow the Department of Homeland Security to do its job, activate ICE, and do the deportations that are necessary.
00:37:33.960 This is an invasion.
00:37:35.300 There is no greater civilization-altering issue facing our country than this.
00:37:40.580 We cannot afford another year of open borders and illegal occupation of America subsidized by the American people.
00:37:49.140 We have to take a stand against it, and certainly this report gives us every basis from an evidentiary and data standpoint to do so.
00:37:57.440 It is a necessity.
00:37:59.080 We also want to cover a story from the state of New York where state government is engaging in activity that is not a necessity and, indeed, quite dangerous.
00:38:09.160 Listen to New York Governor Kathy Hochul talk about the new surveillance state they're creating in the Granite State.
00:38:15.400 I'm sorry, in the Empire State.
00:38:16.880 Take a listen.
00:38:19.140 Also, we're very focused on the data we're collecting from surveillance efforts.
00:38:24.440 What's being said on social media platforms?
00:38:27.760 And we have launched an effort to be able to counter some of the negativity and reach out to people when we see hate speech being spoken about on online platforms.
00:38:41.160 Our media analysis, our social media analysis unit, has ramped up its monitoring of sites to catch incitement to violence, direct threats to others.
00:38:53.640 And all this is in response to our desire, our strong commitment to ensure that not only do New Yorkers be safe, but they also feel safe.
00:39:05.400 Okay, so there is a troubling continuum here.
00:39:10.300 First, our national security apparatus, CIA, NSA.
00:39:14.140 They developed all of these surveillance tools and they sought all of these authorities to be able to gather signals intelligence, process it, analyze it, categorize conduct in various ways.
00:39:25.600 And they told us that they needed these capabilities, technologies, and authorities to direct that activity overseas to some terrorist in some Central Asian cave that might be planning an attack on the United States.
00:39:38.520 And so Congress came together, passes the Patriot Act, they go off and do that.
00:39:43.580 But then they bring a lot of those capabilities home.
00:39:48.180 And we woke up one day and a larger and larger portion of our federal government was trying to convince us that the MAGA grandmother next door was a terrorist or the parent at the school board meeting or the traditional Catholic in worship.
00:40:01.100 And so then you saw, you know, the federal government, whether it was in response to January 6th, really abuse those authorities and reorient those anti-terrorism teams in a concerning way.
00:40:16.400 What you just heard from New York Governor Kathy Hochul is the really troubling next iteration of that, where left-wing states are going to try to hire those folks out of NSA or CIA or FBI and get them involved in state-level surveillance and analysis of people's speech and their political views and their associations.
00:40:40.260 We have to fight against this.
00:40:42.080 And it's not enough to just fight against it at the federal level.
00:40:44.820 We need people in state government standing up against what you just heard from Kathy Hochul, standing up for the privacy rights of our citizens.
00:40:55.040 Now, there are some times when those privacy rights of our citizens end up being twisted and turned and cavorted in ways we never would have imagined and in ways that actually are harmful to the most fundamental institution in American life, and that is the family.
00:41:11.620 Finally, I've introduced legislation called the Parents' Right to Know Act because under a federal law that had been misinterpreted called the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, we were getting more and more school districts
00:41:27.400 telling parents telling parents that the parents that the parents didn't have a right to know about the counseling services being accessed by students.
00:41:36.620 I'm sorry, if you send your kid off to public school, you have a right to know what is going on there.
00:41:42.880 You have a right to know what their grades are, what classes they're taking, what their behavior looks like, what extracurriculars they're involved in, what field trips they go on.
00:41:52.100 And so sure as hell you have a right to know if some school counselor is engaging in a particular type of effort.
00:42:01.800 This came to my attention through a story I heard from a young student who attended one of my recent events in Northwest Florida.
00:42:10.800 She was in about the sixth grade.
00:42:11.960 She came to me and said, look, I'm not a girly girl.
00:42:15.280 I don't have long hair.
00:42:17.000 I don't dress the same as the other girls.
00:42:18.540 But I'm tired of every counselor at school and every teacher trying to corner me and tell me I'm gay.
00:42:25.060 I'm in the sixth grade.
00:42:26.360 I'm not gay.
00:42:27.220 I'm just focused on being a student.
00:42:29.400 And there is a coercive effect to what we have seen, what I have heard directly from my constituents from elements of public education.
00:42:38.180 And that should not happen.
00:42:39.140 And you know what, the best defense with some counselor or teacher trying to say weird things or do things with your kids is to know what they're saying and doing.
00:42:50.060 And so my legislation would clarify that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act does not in any way impair the right of a parent to know the counseling that their student is getting.
00:43:01.440 And particularly in times like this, where more and more people that are in public education and in counseling are veering bizarrely left, I think that this type of clarification to federal law so it is not overused and weaponized against parents is absolutely necessary.
