Hey everyone, this is Matt Gaetz. Today we tried a live remote interview with Dr. Darren Beattie for the first time.
00:00:06.020
The audio is a little dicey on the front end, but we figured the issue out.
00:00:09.840
So at the end of the interview, you will absolutely have the type of clear audio you've come to enjoy and love from Firebrand.
00:00:22.400
Matt Gaetz was one of the very few members in the entire Congress who bothered to stand up against permanent Washington on behalf of his constituents.
00:00:29.300
Matt Gaetz right now, he's a problem in the Democratic Party.
00:00:32.480
He could cause a lot of hiccups in passing applause.
00:00:35.500
So we're going to keep running the stories to get hurt again.
00:00:38.900
If you stand for the flag and kneel in prayer, if you want to build America up and not burn her to the ground,
00:00:45.780
then welcome, my fellow patriots. You are in the right place. This is the movement for you.
00:00:51.860
You ever watch this guy on television? Like a machine, Matt Gaetz.
00:00:56.260
I'm a canceled man in some corners of the Internet.
00:00:59.780
Many days I'm a marked man in Congress, a wanted man by the deep state.
00:01:04.600
They aren't really coming for me. They're coming for you.
00:01:15.260
We're simulcast streaming out of my congressional office in Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill.
00:01:19.840
We have Dr. Darren Beattie, the publisher of Revolver News.
00:01:22.780
It'll be joining us in just a moment to go over some exclusive reporting on Revolver.News
00:01:28.000
regarding the Buffalo shooting, regarding the Ministry of Truth's demise,
00:01:32.880
and actually how Nina Jankiewicz really is involved in some of the most concerning globalist activities.
00:01:41.940
Certainly, it's a great scalp for Revolver.News.
00:01:45.440
We're going to go over the craziness with the Bushes from George W. Bush and his Freudian slip
00:01:51.320
to Cori Bush and her call to use the power of government to fundamentally dismantle the Republican Party
00:02:00.540
And I'm going to break down the latest from the House Judiciary Committee on abortion
00:02:04.560
and the game that is really being played in the trial of Michael Zussman conducted by John Durham.
00:02:12.620
It's not what you think. Dr. Beattie and I are going to discuss it.
00:02:16.540
But first, I want to tell you what happened just on the floor of the House of Representatives moments ago.
00:02:21.680
Once again, the left's problematic response to economic turmoil returns to its default setting.
00:02:32.260
What do all these unfortunate leaders have in common?
00:02:35.240
Using their seats of power to artificially manipulate markets.
00:02:38.780
They have presided over more economic failures and left their countries worse off when they entered office
00:02:44.960
and, frankly, worse off certainly when they left.
00:02:48.420
So, obviously, the same could be said of Joe Biden.
00:02:50.400
One quarter into this presidency, we are in a real disaster mode
00:02:54.740
and he is probably lucky enough to forget all the crisis that he creates.
00:02:59.460
Now, I just voted no moments ago on the Democrat bill, H.R. 7688.
00:03:05.020
It's called the Consumer Price Gouging Prevention Act.
00:03:08.360
They always name these things the funniest stuff.
00:03:10.280
The bill relies on this colloquially awarded title to unite Democrats rather than to actually help our economy.
00:03:17.120
The bill would enable President Biden to issue an emergency proclamation
00:03:21.260
making it illegal to sell customer fuel at a price that is unconscionably expensive.
00:03:30.360
Now, I'm against price controls, whether they are regarding fuel or medicine or any other good,
00:03:39.340
If price controls worked, Venezuela would be the crown jewel of South America
00:03:44.460
instead of, like, a total hellhole borderline failed state.
00:03:49.380
And, by the way, now that we're talking about Venezuela, it's important to note, breaking news,
00:03:53.220
the Biden administration is simultaneously planning to ease sanctions on Venezuela,
00:03:58.420
this, you know, dictatorship, essentially, while at the same time continuing a sanctions regime against Russia.
00:04:05.020
So, quite a bit going on there, and it shows how our leaders, particularly now, are making foolish decisions.
00:04:11.140
But it's not just the Democrats that have made foolish decisions.
00:04:14.100
Dr. Darren Beattie from revolver.news will be joining us in just a moment.
00:04:17.440
He and I have been constant critics of the neoconservatives and the Uniparty wanting to invade every distant land
00:04:24.920
and trade caves back and forth with despots in faraway places, oceans away.
00:04:30.820
And really, the person that got that kicked off was George W. Bush,
00:04:34.600
who made quite a bit of news with this slip, making remarks yesterday.
00:04:46.680
Political opponents are imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the electoral process.
00:04:54.280
The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia
00:04:58.420
and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq.
00:05:21.620
Joining us now is Dr. Darren Beattie of revolver.news,
00:05:24.400
the publisher of that great website that I go to daily.
00:05:28.260
And, Darren, is George W. Bush just unable to say the word invasion
00:05:33.340
without Iraq being the next word that comes out of his mouth?
00:05:36.360
Yeah, it's just fused in his mind for whatever reason, whatever reason, one could only guess.
00:05:43.840
But, yeah, that was the mother of all gas, probably the greatest gas that politics has ever seen.
00:06:03.920
Well, it is not a thing of the past, neoconservatism.
00:06:08.560
Like, I think there are a lot of people out in the country who've seen an ascendant MAGA.
00:06:13.500
They've seen America first candidates do very well in primaries, and they think, we've won.
00:06:20.220
And the reality is, you've got a lot of Republicans who are using, whether Ukraine or Somalia,
00:06:27.320
as yet another excuse to deploy our bravest and best Americans to squander the treasure of our nation.
00:06:38.460
Like, were you surprised, Darren, that the squad has been totally signed up for this Ukraine war
00:06:45.400
and totally silent on Joe Biden reengaging in hostilities in Somalia?
00:06:51.780
And actually, no, I'm not really surprised at all.
00:06:58.520
I know there's the kind of standard notion that, oh, yeah, the left has a tradition of opposing war and militarism.
00:07:12.080
But things have changed, and they've changed in such a way that the entire national security apparatus,
00:07:21.540
the same apparatus that's pushing us into these wars,
00:07:24.500
is an apparatus that has effectively become the guardian politically of the left and the United States,
00:07:34.000
to the extent that the apparatus itself has become largely weaponized domestically to target people who oppose the left gender rather than actual foreign threats.
00:07:45.320
And so from that perspective, from the perspective of actually political alliances,
00:07:51.160
it actually kind of makes sense that the squad, notwithstanding the theoretical objections that the left might have to empire and war and all of that,
00:08:00.380
would actually stand up for their allies and their greatest benefactors, namely the national security establishment.
00:08:09.380
What's far more puzzling to me are the people on the right who still venerate this national security establishment,
00:08:21.520
despite the fact that it's been entirely weaponized against them,
00:08:25.500
and its new purpose is effectively to label them as domestic terrorists and destroy them.
00:08:31.100
So I actually find it far more puzzling to see the rah-rahs and the salutes and just this obsequiousness
00:08:39.340
and totally unearned veneration of the national security state by a lot of uninformed people on the right still.
00:08:50.700
I mean, when I was elected to Congress, I believed the FBI, the DOJ, the CDC, that those were the good guys.
00:08:59.320
And then, like, one day we woke up and, you know, the CDC wanted the powers of the CIA
00:09:06.780
and the FBI was willing to just become the enforcement wing of the Democratic Party.
00:09:12.520
And we still do have Republicans that venerate not only these institutions in the United States and globally.
00:09:19.000
I want to get to, though, what the left is doing to try to use some of these globalist entities to facilitate political goals.
00:09:27.320
You've got a great exclusive piece at Revolver.News.
00:09:30.740
Busted, Biden's Minister of Truth, Nina Jankiewicz, participated in secret NATO-funded cabal
00:09:37.300
to subvert Western democracies using disinformation as a cover.
00:09:42.020
Break down the piece, the conclusions, and how people really need to be thinking about the future incarnations
00:09:48.420
of these appendages of the federal government that ostensibly are there to preserve democracy,
00:09:53.760
but in reality may be undermining the very same.
00:09:57.700
Yes. So this is one of the biggest pieces we've done.
00:10:05.360
It's not just about Nina Jankiewicz, who is, of course, a kind of clownish figure
00:10:11.060
and a clownish representative of something far more dark and ominous and important,
00:10:19.720
So I'd encourage your viewers, go to Revolver.News and read this piece in full,
00:10:25.360
and I'll just walk through a couple of the most salient and explosive points.
00:10:30.040
So basically, Nina Jankiewicz, with whom I've had a contentious history on Twitter,
00:10:38.620
going back quite some time, she attacked me for daring to point out someone called Brandy Zadrozny,
00:10:48.020
who basically made the living doxing Trump supporters and ruining their lives.
00:10:52.100
So we got into a little argument about that, and then a friend of mine tipped me off to something very interesting about her years ago,
00:11:05.500
and that was that she was involved in this group called the Integrity Initiative.
00:11:12.420
This is really a Snowden-tier leak for the age of the disinformation industry,
00:11:18.100
and it was totally suppressed throughout the Western media when it came out.
00:11:23.600
What this is is a group, they call them clusters, of academics, journalists, think tankers, national security bureaucrats, and so forth.
00:11:34.000
Clusters of friendlies who act in secret, and when the time comes,
00:11:39.380
they're given a signal to coordinate and conduct secretive influence campaigns on behalf of the security state.
00:11:46.060
And if you go to revolver.news, you'll see some examples of how that functions.
00:11:50.920
For instance, there was a case in Spain where a defense minister was about to be appointed,
00:11:57.320
and now these dark regime forces decided, you know what, we don't like this defense minister.
00:12:04.080
In other words, he's quote-unquote pro-Kremlin, so we need to get rid of him.
00:12:08.400
And so what they did was they activated these Integrity Initiative clusters from Spain, from the UK, and other places.
00:12:19.580
And within a little over a week, this poor guy, this Spanish guy, was going to be appointed to a high-level position.
00:12:26.360
That appointment was killed, and somebody more friendly to the regime was put in place.
00:12:31.660
And so there are a couple of really important take-homes from this.
00:12:36.160
One, it underscores the point that I've been making, Revolver's been making for a long time,
00:12:41.700
that Twitter is not a normal company, it cannot be evaluated on that basis,
00:12:45.660
is absolutely crucial as a playground for Intel-associated influence operations,
00:12:55.000
And this is a premier case of that fact, using Twitter as a playground for influence ops.
00:12:59.620
And secondly, this gets to the funding of this organization.
00:13:04.360
It's not technically a government organization.
00:13:07.460
But it's funded by NATO, funded by the UK government, funded by the US State Department.
00:13:14.160
And so its motto is defending democracy against disinformation,
00:13:19.440
and yet they're caught red-handed in these leaks,
00:13:23.280
secretly meddling to influence the political process of a fellow NATO democracy.
00:13:31.100
So that's just one example, and I can stop and have you react,
00:13:34.860
and I'm very happy to go into more because all of these are explosive.
00:13:39.100
Well, they're explosive and they're repeatable.
00:13:41.720
See, the key thing that viewers need to understand here is the pattern recognition.
00:13:46.260
To our production team, we're getting a lot of comments about a little bit of echo in our mic and audio,
00:13:51.400
so hopefully we'll get that fixed and lined up.
00:13:54.840
I appreciate everyone's patience with us as we do something unique and different here.
00:14:01.220
If I can interject just on the production side, am I supposed to be able to see you?
00:14:13.680
Tell me what the hornet's nest of NGOs is because this is a key part of the infrastructure
00:14:18.940
for a lot of these influence operations to have these kind of left-wing NGOs
00:14:24.800
that often have some nexus to the Soros operation or other left-wing actors globally,
00:14:30.460
and then to have U.S. activities or NATO activities sort of co-venture,
00:14:36.520
not for the sake of protection, but for the sake of politics.
00:14:41.020
Yeah, and you see this typically with a lot of these cut-out type organizations,
00:14:49.780
NATO is a big part of the assault on free speech that's taken place over the past five or so years.
00:14:56.080
And that's what's emerging through leaks like this and other things.
00:15:01.480
Just one little component from the leak is one of the other names that came up,
00:15:06.760
a name called Ben Nimmo, who was also a part of that U.K. inner cluster
00:15:11.920
that Nina Yankovic and also Anne Applebaum and a bunch of other winners were a part of.
00:15:18.120
So at the time this leak came out, Ben Nimmo worked for a group called the DFR Lab,
00:15:23.660
which is the Atlantic Council's disinformation scam cutout.
00:15:29.760
And this is, of course, also funded by the usual suspects, NATO, U.K., U.S. State Department.
00:15:37.940
And just to give you a sense of how incestuous this ecology is of the disinformation industry,
00:15:44.780
Ben Nimmo's position now is he works directly for Facebook
00:15:48.440
in a leading role to identify the threat of foreign influence operations.
00:15:55.200
Here's a guy whose name that comes up in one of the most scandalous exposed influence operations of the century
00:16:06.400
And now he's one of the leads at Facebook to identify influence.
00:16:12.840
All this stuff is funded by NATO, by the U.K. government, by the U.S. government.
00:16:18.480
They all use buzzwords like disinformation, like democracy.
00:16:22.900
Integrity, incidentally, is a favorite buzzword that comes up repeatedly.
00:16:29.160
And all it is is an excuse to run intelligence-grade influence operations
00:16:36.120
against domestic citizens within the Western countries, including the United States,
00:16:41.220
all under this sham guise of protecting democracies against information.
00:16:47.400
And although these leaks were explosive and important when they came out
00:16:51.540
and were totally shut down by the mainstream media,
00:16:54.340
only now do we really fully appreciate the importance of these leaks,
00:17:02.140
The disinformation industry is probably one of the biggest growth industries
00:17:11.060
And there's sort of a corollary that if they're not calling everyone a disinformation peddler,
00:17:18.020
they're calling everyone an extremist, a white supremacist.
00:17:21.740
And those two things run really in parallel and in concert with one another.
00:17:26.300
And so while you saw the Biden administration stumbling to set up this disinformation apparatus
00:17:34.580
you saw the United States Congress passing sweeping legislation to give the FBI wild authorities
00:17:42.540
to be able to investigate not crimes, but thought crimes and bad politics.
00:17:49.980
I spoke against this measure on the floor of the House of Representatives.
00:17:54.040
We'll get Dr. Beattie's reaction on the other side.
00:18:00.080
which wouldn't be so objectionable if the people it empowered weren't so damn extreme.
00:18:07.940
They're so extreme that they would chill speech at school board meetings
00:18:20.220
Or you'll be punished at the hands of your own government.
00:18:22.860
They're so extreme they'd leak a Supreme Court draft opinion
00:18:26.940
so that they could gaslight violence and intimidation against the court.
00:18:32.160
All so that the law would abandon those unborn lives and beating hearts.
00:18:38.780
They're so extreme they would weaponize the Department of Justice
00:18:42.160
against a sitting president over an election that Hillary Clinton lost.
00:18:48.900
and we were extreme if we said it was them all along.
00:18:54.580
The last press secretary thought that COVID discussions on Facebook rooted in science
00:18:59.760
were so extreme that Mark Zuckerberg had to de-platform these people,
00:19:06.280
This press secretary wrongly tweeted that Fox News is racist.
00:19:11.000
I wonder if she thinks all of Fox's viewers are dangers to the American people.
00:19:18.960
This bill is about whether or not you want the Department of Homeland Security
00:19:22.220
looking over your shoulder at the shows you watch,
00:19:38.520
and you weren't anti-racist enough to disallow it.
00:20:27.080
as one of the most efficient government entities
