Matt Gaetz was one of the very few members in the entire Congress
00:00:06.540
who bothered to stand up against permanent Washington on behalf of his constituents.
00:00:10.940
Matt Gaetz right now, he's a problem in the Democratic Party.
00:00:13.760
He could cause a lot of hiccups in passing the laws.
00:00:16.780
So we're going to keep running those stories to get hurt again.
00:00:23.360
if you want to build America up and not burn her to the ground,
00:00:26.800
then welcome, my fellow patriots. You are in the right place.
00:00:37.920
I'm a canceled man in some corners of the Internet.
00:00:41.080
Many days I'm a marked man in Congress, a wanted man by the deep state.
00:00:45.900
They aren't really coming for me. They're coming for you.
00:00:50.980
The gun debate is once again back in the headlines.
00:00:59.120
It will be the focus of our show entirely today.
00:01:02.580
And of course, the left has wasted no time politicizing it.
00:01:07.400
We are broadcasting live from 1721 of the Longworth House Office building here
00:01:15.220
And on guns, bad take after bad take is all the left has to offer.
00:01:21.360
Their solutions are ineffective, impractical, and largely unconstitutional.
00:01:26.560
Huge debate yesterday in the House Judiciary Committee
00:01:32.900
that they are going to bring to the House floor next week.
00:01:47.760
I'm going to give you the highlights from that hearing
00:01:49.540
and also what you need to be most concerned about.
00:01:52.680
And we all care about the problem of protecting children.
00:01:57.540
without infringing upon Second Amendment rights.
00:02:05.380
what I consider the most important insurance of our freedom.
00:02:13.420
We can approach this rare problem carefully, rationally.
00:02:19.100
But that is not what we saw from House Democrats.
00:02:21.480
And I think nothing brings that into greater focus
00:02:26.060
He is covering the debate in the House Armed Services Committee.
00:02:33.340
Spare me the bullshit about constitutional rights.
00:02:36.420
David Cicilline says to Matt Gaetz during hour nine
00:02:40.440
of House Judiciary Committee meeting on guns package.
00:02:44.300
Spare me the bullshit about constitutional rights.
00:02:47.760
Can you believe that a member of the Judiciary Committee
00:02:50.400
would be able to have such disdain for those rights?
00:02:54.420
We got a lot of folks right now joining us live
00:03:19.400
to the Florida laws passed after the Parkland shooting.
00:03:23.500
Here is Senator Chris Murphy on this week on ABC News.
00:03:37.080
It married together changes to Florida's gun laws
00:03:40.600
with some significant investments in mental health
00:03:44.980
And I had a long conversation with Senator Scott last week
00:03:54.380
It also proved that Republicans could take on the gun lobby
00:04:02.240
which has been the case I've been making to Republicans
00:04:06.260
So that kind of legislation certainly is a model.
00:04:11.440
Not everything that anti-gun violence advocates would want.
00:04:15.940
And while I don't think we will mirror the Florida law,
00:04:22.880
and would make a lot of families and kids in this country
00:04:34.760
I'm from Florida and I would not sign a federal version
00:04:42.900
I would not have voted for the Florida law in its entirety
00:04:45.760
if I were in the Florida legislature at the time it was considered.
00:04:48.780
For example, raising the age to purchase a rifle from 18 to 21
00:05:06.120
If you could potentially be drawn into a conflict
00:05:10.060
for the preservation of your country or our nation's interests,
00:05:13.940
you should be able to fully exercise the freedoms
00:05:20.000
Now, yesterday on the House Judiciary Committee,
00:05:32.000
We recognize different ages for different purposes.
00:05:44.660
So we recognize different ages for different purposes.
00:05:55.020
Would the chairman join me in co-sponsoring a bill
00:06:07.600
The research does indicate that in certain respects,
00:06:14.040
I mean, if the country needs people, it needs people.
00:06:16.640
It needs people whose brains aren't fully formed?
00:06:24.040
So there you have Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler saying,
00:06:59.420
Furthermore, if you're hell-bent on buying a gun
