In this episode, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-GAZETTE) takes aim at the Deep State and the Deep Throat Conspiracy Theories. Rep. Gaetz is one of the few in the entire Congress who stood up against permanent Washington on behalf of his constituents.
00:03:05.000While members of Congress should spend their days communicating, legislating, advocating for their constituents,
00:03:12.000Zoe Lofgren spent likely thousands of hours producing a nearly 2,000 page report that catalogs congressional mean tweets and interviews and comments calling for election integrity.
00:04:19.000If there are machines that were used in a number of states that were switching votes, that would be deeply problematic.
00:04:26.000And similarly, if you have people who are no longer residents of a state voting in that state, it's a challenge.
00:04:32.000But look, Steve, we've got to remember Donald Trump has built a great Republican party.
00:04:36.000It's a party that is doing better with Hispanics and African Americans than it has in a generation.
00:04:42.000And Donald Trump now has an obligation to the party that he built to ensure that we expose and litigate every true example of fraud, because if we don't do that, we'll never win another election again.
00:04:54.000Democrats spent four years delegitimizing this president.
00:05:35.000Thomas Massey is one of Congress's best.
00:05:39.000Now, he didn't vote against the certification of any electors, by the way, like Democrats did with President Trump and President Bush and many others.
00:05:48.000But he must be an insurrectionist, too, because he said this.
00:05:52.00075% of what shows up in your mailbox is junk mail.
00:05:56.000And some people thought this would be a good venue for holding a presidential election.
00:06:00.000Actually, that seems like a pretty reasonable point.
00:06:04.000The 2020 election was the first time the mailbox beat the ballot box.
00:06:11.000Is the United States Postal Service really the portal to modern day voting?
00:06:18.000But it's not just Republicans Lofgren went after.
00:06:21.000Firebrand populist former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard had this to say.
00:06:27.000It is critical to remember that the strength of our democracy lies in the integrity of our elections.
00:06:33.000That every one of us has to have faith that our vote will count.
00:06:38.000But right now, there are still many states in our country that allow for something called ballot harvesting.
00:06:44.000This is a system that allows for third parties to collect and deliver ballots for other people, potentially large numbers of people.
00:06:53.000Unfortunately, ballot harvesting has allowed for fraud and abuse to occur by those who could tamper with or discard ballots to try to sway an election for or against a certain candidate or party.
00:07:09.000So whether in the midst of a pandemic, as we are now, where mail-in voting is likely to drastically increase, or even in a normal election, no one, no one should get in between a voter and the ballot box.
00:07:25.000Now, while some states have prohibited vote harvesting or ballot harvesting, many have not, which again allows for abuse from third parties collecting and mishandling ballots.
00:07:38.000This is something that we've actually seen happen in recent elections.
00:07:42.000It ended up on page 620 of the insurrection report, the Gates section, because I retweeted Tulsi.
00:07:50.000I kept looking for the section in the report on the Jihad Squad, giving money to BLM or other violent actors across our nation.
00:07:59.000Prominent Democrats, including then-Senator Kamala Harris, not only egged on rioters, but made sure their bail funds were full so they could go right back to burning down a Wendy's and torching a Nike store.
00:08:13.000Now, the George Soros-funded district attorneys, well, they dropped criminal charges faster than I dropped 10 pounds before my wedding.
00:08:22.000It's maddening to listen to a party that cheered on BLM and Antifa as they burnt down our cities.
00:08:29.000I want to be clear in how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not, generally speaking, unruly.
00:08:57.000On behalf of myself, my children, and the family of David Dorn, we'd like to thank friends, neighbors, co-workers, and the community for showing all the love and support we've suffered through the tragic loss of my husband, my beloved husband, David Dorn.
00:09:17.860I would also like to thank the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department for their hard work and perseverance through this investigation, as well as the Circuit Attorney's Office.
00:09:33.720He dedicated his life to the city of St. Louis, retiring at the rink of captain after 38 years of distinguishable service, then as a chief of Moline Acres for almost six years.
00:09:44.940During those years, he's touched so many lives as a friend, mentor, co-worker, and guardian.
00:09:53.100His life was senselessly taken, from me, from us, by an opportunist who had no regards for human life or the law.
00:10:04.280This didn't have to happen, but it must have been God's plan for David.
00:10:08.520We need to gather as a community and do better.
00:10:16.520We need to teach our young people that life is very precious.
00:10:22.800We as a family are going to be taking some time to focus our attention on healing, which is very important as we move forward.
00:10:30.700And now they condemn us with this report and moral superiority.
00:10:55.280It's because the left and the establishment Democrats and even the rhino Republicans, they don't care about you and your business.
00:11:04.600They don't care about your family members.
00:11:06.420They don't care about the innocent people that were beaten and killed.
00:11:09.660They don't care about the degradation of safety on our streets.
00:11:13.440They don't care about the police that were murdered by the real domestic terrorists.
00:11:17.540Put simply, a powerful movement, our movement, is being targeted by the full force of our own government over political disagreement.
00:11:30.920It starts with the leaders who go against the grain, but this should never happen.
00:11:36.040It was wrong when J. Edgar Hoover targeted leftists and civil rights groups.
00:11:40.900First, show me the movement and I'll show you the crime.
00:11:43.700Freedom of association was such an organizing principle in the United States that we embedded it in the First Amendment of our Bill of Rights.
00:12:13.700But today, freedom of association is quickly becoming guilt by association.
00:12:21.960This is true in the eyes of the big tech oligarchs who cancel us online if we share the wrong MAGA video.
00:12:28.080It's true in the eyes of the FBI who investigate people based on who they talk to, who they organize with, who they vote for.
00:12:36.780Never forget, Peter Strzok, he wasn't some low-level guy in the FBI.
00:12:42.060He was the FBI's top counterintelligence official.
00:14:44.100He'd go down there for interviews and then release leaks embroidered onto lies to make people think Trump was running some sort of illegal Ukrainian arms deal.
