00:00:00.000 Got a massive show for you here.
00:00:02.000 We've got Congressman Matt Gates, who just won down in Florida, and then also Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene breaking down for us the swatting attempt one in the morning. 0.99
00:00:13.000 What happened to her?
00:00:14.000 Why the left is targeting her over trying to ban the mutilation of children? 0.99
00:00:19.000 You do not want to miss this.
00:00:21.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:23.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:25.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:28.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:32.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:33.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:34.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:41.000 Turning point USA.
00:00:42.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:51.000 That's why we are here.
00:00:54.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:03.000 So you've got President Biden out there running around saying that he's going to essentially be forgiving up to $10,000, possibly up to $20,000 of student debt.
00:01:14.000 And what does that mean?
00:01:15.000 That means if you already have debt on the books, that doesn't mean if you have debt from anything else, like credit cards, like mortgages.
00:01:22.000 No, he's not helping with that. 0.53
00:01:24.000 This is essentially, as Greg Price put it on Twitter, loan forgiveness is reparations for upper middle class white people that your plumbers and your tradesmen, and as Charlie would say, the muscular class has to pay for. 0.98
00:01:38.000 It's ridiculous.
00:01:39.000 And you want to talk about inflation reduction.
00:01:41.000 We're talking about inflation through the roof, plus another billion, $3 billion, $4 billion, $5 billion.
00:01:47.000 I should ask the promoters, the producers, how many billions of dollars have we actually sent to you, just aggregate, Ukraine, just this year alone in the past six months?
00:01:56.000 Because I believe today, yeah, today is the six-month anniversary of the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine right now.
00:02:02.000 So I want to know how much money has the U.S. taxpayer actually sent over to Ukraine.
00:02:08.000 I'd like to get an auditing of it, but I'm sure we're not going to get that.
00:02:11.000 And I'd like to get some answer as to what is being done with it.
00:02:16.000 Is it effective?
00:02:16.000 Is it working?
00:02:17.000 Are we doing what we need to do?
00:02:19.000 But we also had a massive election last night.
00:02:22.000 Several states, we're going to be bringing on some people who were up for election.
00:02:26.000 I want to talk about some of the things that we discussed earlier this week.
00:02:31.000 We discussed this idea that the Republicans are sleepwalking into the election.
00:02:37.000 Are they ready for this?
00:02:39.000 Do they know what's going on?
00:02:40.000 Are they prepared?
00:02:41.000 Or is this something?
00:02:44.000 Is this something where the Republicans don't even know?
00:02:50.000 What we're talking about is the cracks, are the cracks in the red wave.
00:02:55.000 This is something that we talked about here earlier in the program.
00:02:59.000 And we've got a little taste of the news that I can throw to you guys now so you can all hear what we're focused on.
00:03:05.000 And I want to get right into it because we have Congressman Matt Gates on the line who just achieved an incredible victory, a massive, stunning victory.
00:03:15.000 And when they threw everything at him, he was able to come in on top.
00:03:19.000 Congressman Gates, welcome to the program.
00:03:21.000 Oh, thanks so much for having me, Jack.
00:03:23.000 And you're the favorite guest host of all my favorite podcasts, whether it's the Charlie Kirk show, whether it's The War Room.
00:03:30.000 I love hearing you on Human Events Daily.
00:03:32.000 But, you know, I open the podcast app and it's just which program that Jack Pesovic is hosting am I going to listen to on any given day?
00:03:40.000 Maybe firebrand. 0.97
00:03:41.000 I'll have to have guest host firebrand one of these days.
00:03:43.000 We'd love that.
00:03:44.000 Really take you out.
00:03:45.000 We love that.
00:03:46.000 We'd love that.
00:03:46.000 But yeah, it's all smiles here in Florida.
00:03:48.000 You know, it says something about the direction the Republican Party, that Liz Cheney can lose by more than 40 points and that I can win by more than 40 points.
00:03:57.000 And I think our voters expect us to have a fighting spirit.
00:04:01.000 If we win this majority back in the House and we don't do what Senator Kennedy demanded, and that is to, you know, get to the bottom of these investigations and deliver wins for our people, then shame on us.
00:04:12.000 And I have a message for anybody that's looking to hire Tony Fauci to be the CEO of their pharmaceutical company or their university president.
00:04:20.000 Don't plan on him being available for work too often because Jim Jordan and I are going to have him before the House of Representatives answering questions.
00:04:28.000 And I sure hope he doesn't plan to retire in my beautiful Florida like so many people do.
00:04:33.000 I think he ought to retire where he can be closer to his work in Wuhan, China.
00:04:37.000 You know, there's so much to dig into there.
00:04:40.000 You mentioned Fauci, which I think is something that a lot of people, I know they were kind of running the victory lap and yeah, it's great and he's finally going to be out, etc.
00:04:49.000 I think he's actually leaving because he knows the conservative Republican majority is coming in this November.
00:04:56.000 They're going to be seated.
00:04:57.000 You'll be seated in January.
00:04:59.000 But that doesn't deprive him from anything the same way that we've seen subpoenas, now FBI raids on Mar-a-Lago down in Florida.
00:05:06.000 This idea that if we're going to be opening up everything with special committees and select committees, we absolutely need to have one on this gain of function research, the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:05:16.000 Matt, I'd love to see you on there.
00:05:18.000 Have you been hearing any traction specifically within the House about plans to set up something like that, specifically targeted on Fauci?
00:05:25.000 And by the way, not just for Wuhan, but also on the vaccine rollout program, which, by the way, Politico is out there, they're trying to blame the vaccine on Trump now.
00:05:32.000 Well, I think we're going to see Fauci as the front end of this wave.
00:05:37.000 I think you're going to see Maorkis, maybe Garland, others who know that they're going to be before our committees answering questions that really will harm the Biden government because it'll expose how the decision-making has been so corrupt and so lashed to improper influences, a lot of which you cover and a lot of which go back to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:05:58.000 So I think there's going to be a wave of people who don't want to see what happens in January.
00:06:03.000 But I have a vision that is specific for the Republican control of the House and divided government.
00:06:09.000 We have to convert every single committee to an oversight committee.
00:06:13.000 And once we commit to that paradigm, then you could say, okay, you don't have to create like a select committee.
00:06:18.000 You just assign, you know, the Hunter-Biden matter to foreign affairs.
00:06:22.000 You assign vaccine injuries to the healthcare committees.
00:06:26.000 You assign breaking up big tech to the commerce committee.
00:06:30.000 You assign getting the wokeism out of our military to the Armed Services Committee.
00:06:35.000 And, you know, Jim Jordan and I started talking like this many months ago, and we've heard Kevin McCarthy really dovetail into that thinking quite nicely.
00:06:43.000 So what was once kind of a radical, unprecedented perspective on how to utilize the majority now has become pretty mainstream.
00:06:50.000 And what we have to fight against are oftentimes the Republicans who want to take power and then just return it to the lobby corps.
00:06:57.000 I don't want to win this election so that we can just debate over who gets to be a valet for the special interests.
00:07:04.000 And that's why I think we've got to get the right people through these primaries.
00:07:07.000 We certainly need some of our fighters to survive in some tough general elections.
00:07:11.000 And then our leadership has to be held to account so that we don't just revert to the neoconservative, totally owned by the lobbyists mean of American politics.
00:07:25.000 Right now, Bank of America has just lowered its 2022 forecast for the SP 500 by a whopping 900 points to 3,600.
00:07:35.000 Saying we're headed for a recession this year, it said the new year target is the lowest on the street.
00:07:40.000 This is not good news for those of you stuck in equities or anything tied to stock markets.
00:07:45.000 I know thousands of people who have put their trust in Noble Gold to prevent losing money and the financial storm that is brewing.
00:07:51.000 You can join them by calling their expert team.
00:07:53.000 Noble Gold was recently voted the number one gold company in the country by consumer affairs.
00:07:58.000 No call centers, no scripted response, no bull, just a straight, honest run through options so you can decide.
00:08:04.000 And by the way, they're giving away a beautiful one-tenth an ounce gold American Eagle coin with every qualifying IRA or 401k rollover this month.
00:08:12.000 You can't go wrong with Noble Gold.
00:08:13.000 Call the team now at 877-646-5347 to find out more or visit noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:08:19.000 That is noblegoldinvestments.com.
00:08:24.000 In some districts, we're seeing where President Trump gets involved, he dominates.
00:08:28.000 15 out of 15 in Florida.
00:08:30.000 I think his record is something like 92% or higher for all of 2022.
00:08:35.000 But then we're also seeing in districts like this one up in New York, the special election, which did not go the way of the Republicans, where he's not directly involved.
00:08:45.000 You're almost seeing a low enthusiasm.
00:08:47.000 And then Dave Wasserman's out there.
00:08:49.000 Oh, I don't know what's going to happen.
00:08:50.000 There's cracks.
00:08:51.000 Maybe Dobbs is playing a role.
00:08:52.000 What is your take on that current dynamic?
00:08:57.000 We got work to do with the under 40 crowd.
00:09:00.000 In the weeks leading up to the 2020 election, we actually saw a lot of young parents moving to the right, getting red-pilled because they wanted their kids to be able to go to school.
00:09:11.000 They saw how the social-emotional learning within their own family units was being destroyed by a lot of these government programs and mandates that weren't rooted in science.
00:09:20.000 And what I've seen is that as mandates and lockdowns have diminished in our lives, not gone away, but diminished, you're seeing some of those folks maybe return to the middle and return to the left.
00:09:31.000 And I think a reason for that is that too much of the Republican leadership, and frankly, a lot of Republican candidates still talk like Zombie Reagan is going to come back and save us.
00:09:40.000 And the reality is in today's world where we're being canceled online, where we're being pursued in real life, where domestic terrorism authorities are being turned against our fellow Americans, we have to update the Republican brand.
00:09:54.000 And I think we have to make it more realistic to the challenges a lot of young people are feeling in family formation.
00:10:00.000 You know, you talk a lot on Human Events Daily about how the policies in our government affect how a family can form, how a family can thrive and be successful.
00:10:10.000 And I don't think our candidates talk enough about that, particularly when we sort of lean into boomer politics more than the modern world.
00:10:17.000 I think that would help us a lot.
00:10:19.000 Well, and I think you're right, though, because look at and walk us through these massive school board victories down there in Florida.
00:10:26.000 I believe it was a statewide sweep and Ryan Grudusky and the 1776 project played a huge role in that as well.
00:10:32.000 But what you're talking about is exactly this winning message of we are going to correct these schools.
00:10:39.000 And when you look at a place like Fargo, North Dakota, banning the Pledge of Allegiance, you realize this thing isn't something that's just confined to San Francisco anymore and monkeypox parties.
00:10:49.000 No, it's actually all around the entire country.
00:10:51.000 Oh, yeah.
00:10:52.000 Public education is far too important to be left to the educators.
00:10:56.000 And that's why you're seeing parents and activists and leaders step forward to manage the development of our next generation of American citizens, full citizens at the majority level exercising the full complement of their rights.
00:11:12.000 And so we have to take the successes at the school board level and scale them to the moon.
00:11:17.000 And frankly, it's the folks running for school board and winning right now that are going to be the people running for Congress and the U.S. Senate and for governorships, I think in the coming election cycles very, very quickly.
00:11:29.000 We do, I think, you know, have to look at the Dobbs decision and the impact that's going to have on our politics.
00:11:36.000 And we can't allow the right to be unfairly cast here.
00:11:39.000 And I think that happened in Kansas.
00:11:41.000 I think that we could have made a better argument about what the left is really talking about when they create political activism around abortion on demand.
00:11:50.000 And that's not what most Americans want.
00:11:53.000 The Dobbs decision didn't stop every abortion in America, but it certainly left that decision to the states and to elected leaders.
00:12:00.000 And I think we could have a better frame on that that respects humanity, that respects unborn life, and that shows how radical the decision is on the left.
00:12:09.000 Congressman, let me read Wasserman's tweet here.
00:12:12.000 And he says, Dems being more engaged are energetic post-Dobs, which is undeniably true.
00:12:17.000 But to me, the Trump GOP base appears less engaged than it was last November, which is just as big a part of the story.
00:12:24.000 Do you agree or disagree with that?
00:12:26.000 The Trump base doesn't come out as strong when Trump's not on the ballot.
00:12:30.000 We saw that in 2018.
00:12:31.000 And so, you know, of course, we're going to have to overcome that with good candidates and good campaigning in 2022.
00:12:37.000 But undeniably, the Trump effect is considerably stronger when he's on the ballot.
00:12:42.000 We saw a similar dynamic with Obama.
00:12:44.000 And that's why I think it can't just be, you know, about the candidates.
00:12:47.000 It has to be about some of these movement issues like we've seen emerge in these school board races and in other places around the country.
00:12:55.000 100%.
00:12:55.000 Congressman Gates, go check out the Firebrand podcast.
00:12:59.000 He's lighting it up, trying to compete a little bit with Pozo in the rankings.
00:13:03.000 But I think we're still holding out for now.
00:13:06.000 You got me pretty good.
00:13:08.000 Not only fired up there, fired up in Congress.
00:13:10.000 Congratulations to you, Rebecca Jones.
00:13:12.000 That's just going to be hilarious.
00:13:13.000 I can't wait to watch that.
00:13:14.000 She tried to sue human events back in the day.
00:13:16.000 We'll chat about that.
00:13:17.000 Thanks so much, Congressman.
00:13:18.000 Good luck to you on the rest of your week.
00:13:21.000 Oh, thanks so much, Pozo.
00:13:23.000 Appreciate it, man.
00:13:26.000 Uncle Tom 2 offers a compelling and brave analysis of the true story of Black America.
00:13:32.000 Uncle Tom 2 is the eye-opening documentary everyone in America should see.
00:13:36.000 The cultural shift from prosperity, integrity, and faith to the current perceived state of anger, discontent, and victimhood.
00:13:42.000 Uncle Tom 2 offers historical footage, photos, correspondence, and data to reveal the genuine strides of Black America in the 20th century, the deliberate Marxist strategy to create racial tension and replace God with government, the NAACP sinister agenda, the fall of Black Harlem, the truth behind Black Lives Matter, and the demoralization of America for political power.
00:14:02.000 Don't miss Uncle Tom 2 from executive producer Larry Elder and director Justin Malone with Brandon Tatum, Vodie Bockham, and Chad O. Jackson.
00:14:09.000 Pre-order it today at SalemNow.com.
00:14:11.000 Watch the movie on demand or buy the DVD on Friday, August 26th at salemnow.com.
00:14:16.000 That's salemnow.com, salemnow.com.
00:14:22.000 Look, yesterday I went on War Room and I outlined the fact that there had been an active security threat to a recent event down in Tampa that was notified to the organization based on law enforcement, full cooperation, suspect was apprehended.
00:14:42.000 But we know that threats of violence, threats of direct action being taken towards not only people like Brett Kavanaugh, people like us, people like myself, people like Tim Poole, and now apparently Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene are going on.
00:15:00.000 And we have this up from the New York Post.
00:15:04.000 Marjorie Taylor Green says that she was swatted last night. 0.82
00:15:08.000 And she writes that last night I was swatted just after one in the morning.
00:15:13.000 She was swatted.
00:15:14.000 She can't express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in her hometown.
00:15:19.000 More details to come out.
00:15:21.000 And then there's another piece up with even more from the national polls talking about how she was swatted at her Georgia home at 1 a.m. by a fake call by a pro-trans extremist who apparently took the time to not only make the false 911.
00:15:41.000 So swatting, by the way, for those who aren't familiar with the term, this is when you make a false police call.
00:15:46.000 I've had this happen to me, not at my home, but at an event, where they'll make a false call to the police about an active shooting.
00:15:51.000 I happened to Steve Bannon a few weeks ago over at the war room, where they'll say there's a false shooting or a violent act that's going on, and they ask police to run in as it with guns blazing, as if it's an active shooter and hope that that person hope that harm will come to that person.
00:16:08.000 That's the point of SWAT.
00:16:09.000 And this happened to Marjorie Jayla Green last night.
00:16:12.000 And then the person called back to the police, and I'll have her get into this, also to the 911 line, stating, according to National Post, they have it, they explained that they were upset about Ms. Green's stance on transgender youth rights and stated that they stated positively that they were trying to swat her.
00:16:31.000 And so I want to bring on, without further ado, bring on Congresswoman Marjorie Jayla Green to break down everything for us. 0.99
00:16:38.000 Congresswoman, first of all, are you okay?
00:16:40.000 Is the family okay?
00:16:42.000 How are you guys holding up?
00:16:43.000 Yes, I'm okay.
00:16:46.000 It was a scary situation last night, something I never expected and should not have happened.
00:16:52.000 This is basically political terrorism, Jack.
00:16:55.000 And you know what it feels like.
00:16:56.000 You've been a victim of it as well.
00:16:58.000 But I just want to say this.
00:17:00.000 There is no way I'm backing down.
00:17:02.000 I introduced very important legislation called the Protect Children's Innocent Act.
00:17:07.000 And the whole reason I did that, my bill, if passed into law, it would become a federal law and it makes it a felony to perform any type of so-called gender-affirming care, which is really genital mutilation surgeries, hormone therapies, puberty blockers, and this is absolute child abuse.
00:17:26.000 And it's really interesting that this just happened only a week after I introduced this critical legislation. 0.73
00:17:32.000 And I'm building massive support among Republicans and growing co-sponsors because everyone knows what a dangerous threat this is to our children and that generation. 1.00
00:17:43.000 And then here it comes that my house gets swatted by some sort of youth trans activist. 1.00
00:17:50.000 And I'm going to tell you right now that if this is the war the left wants to bring, then they can bring it because there is no way I'm backing down.
00:17:58.000 I will protect kids as far as I possibly can. 0.93
00:18:01.000 And if you talk to anybody that is so-called detrans and you see the pictures of these young women who had their breasts cut off when they were 15 or 16 years old, or you talk to these poor kids, these boys that were castrated as teenagers, 1.00
00:18:17.000 or you hear the women talk and they no longer have women's voices, but you hear their heartbreaking stories, the things that happened to them when they were too young to make these permanent decisions that radically mutilate their bodies and change their bodies forever. 1.00
00:18:33.000 You know, we give out driver's license when you're 16.
00:18:36.000 You can't go to war until you're 18.
00:18:39.000 How on earth is the left targeting children and trying to force them into making life-altering and dangerous health decisions for their bodies?
00:18:49.000 And so I'm going to stand up and fight this all day all with everything I can, Jack.
00:18:54.000 And we are not going to back down to the evil radical left who wants to terrorize us through these kinds of methods.
00:19:03.000 And I just want to add on, our police officers here in Rome, Georgia are amazing.
00:19:08.000 They are so amazing.
00:19:09.000 And so I'd love to talk more with you about that.
00:19:12.000 Well, I would.
00:19:13.000 And we can get it.
00:19:14.000 I also obviously want to get into the broader issues that you just brought up.
00:19:18.000 We were hearing a story out of Sydney, Australia, where a woman is suing her psychiatrist over essentially talking her into this when she was a teenager.
00:19:26.000 She not only had a double mastectomy, but also had a hysterectomy. 0.62
00:19:29.000 So she can't have children now for the rest of her life over this. 0.98
00:19:33.000 But Congresswoman, if you could, and obviously I understand it's sensitive.
00:19:36.000 There's probably certain things you can't tell us about.
00:19:38.000 What was it like from your perspective?
00:19:41.000 I mean, you're home, it's one o'clock in the morning.
00:19:43.000 Did this start with a knock on the door?
00:19:45.000 Was it a phone call?
00:19:47.000 Was it a pounding?
00:19:48.000 What actually happened last night from what you can tell us?
00:19:52.000 Yeah, and I'll be happy to go through detail by detail.
00:19:54.000 So I was sound asleep.
00:19:57.000 Of course, never expected anyone to be coming to my house at that time in the morning.
00:20:02.000 Heard some knocks on the door, heard my doorbell, saw some lights outside, heard people outside my windows in my yard.
00:20:11.000 And I jumped out of bed, threw my clothes on, and I picked up my gun.
00:20:17.000 That was my instinct because I'm a gun owner.
00:20:20.000 I'm a Second Amendment supporter, and I believe in defending myself.
00:20:25.000 And normally I answer the door with a gun, especially if it's someone that I don't expect coming to my home.
00:20:31.000 But for some reason, I had this weird gut instinct to not take my gun with me to the front door, which was very out of norm for me.
00:20:41.000 So I put my gun down and I just went down the hallway and the house was still dark.
00:20:46.000 And I came around the corner and looked out the windows.
00:20:49.000 And I saw the police outside.
00:20:52.000 And they, you know, they had their guns.
00:20:54.000 They were ready because they had received a terrible phone call to the 911 center.
00:21:01.000 And so I walked up there and I saw them.
00:21:03.000 I was really startled.
00:21:05.000 And I didn't, I couldn't think like, why are they here?
00:21:08.000 You know, did something bad happen?
00:21:10.000 You know, that's, that was what I was thinking.
00:21:12.000 I thought maybe someone had been hurt or killed and they were coming to talk to me about it.
00:21:18.000 And I opened the door and the officer standing there, he said, ma'am, are you okay?
00:21:25.000 Is everything okay here?
00:21:27.000 But it was the body posture of the police that was really concerning me.
00:21:32.000 Like it had me even, I was upset.
00:21:36.000 I was like, there's something terribly wrong.
00:21:36.000 I was afraid.
00:21:39.000 And I said, yeah, I'm okay.
00:21:41.000 You know, I was sleeping.
00:21:42.000 You know, I'm like trying to understand what they're doing.
00:21:46.000 And he said, hold on, let me get my sergeant.
00:21:49.000 And then they came from around the corner and came up the steps and told me that someone had called in to the 911 call center here in Rome, Georgia, and had reported that someone had shot either my, they said either her husband or her boyfriend five times in the chest in a bathtub.
00:22:12.000 And then they, you know, they were sending the police to supposedly go help.
00:22:16.000 But then they called back a second time and said, there's children in the home.
00:22:20.000 There's children in the home.
00:22:22.000 So with those phone calls, they were setting up a very serious, dangerous scenario in a home, right?
00:22:30.000 And police officers, when they get those kind of calls, they know what they're going into.
00:22:36.000 They have to be prepared for it.
00:22:38.000 They have to get there immediately.
00:22:40.000 This, you know, it sounds like they made it sound like there were children in danger at our house.
00:22:46.000 And so the police officers, they got here, they got to my house so fast.
00:22:51.000 But then I said, I was like, I said, no, this is all wrong.
00:22:56.000 I said, come inside.
00:22:57.000 I brought them inside.
00:22:58.000 I said, you know, they said, yeah, we realize what's happened is you've been swatted.
00:23:03.000 And they were upset, rightfully so and angry.
00:23:07.000 And I was very upset.
00:23:09.000 I could not believe someone would do that.
00:23:11.000 And I was shocked because they put, not only did they put my life and my family's life in danger, they also put the police officers' lives in danger.
00:23:21.000 And so whoever this person is, they deserve to be locked up.
00:23:26.000 And Congresswoman, I only have to say, had you been holding your gun when you answered the door, the police are coming in with this information.
00:23:38.000 They think that potentially, but there's an active shooter in the house, someone who's just committed a murder.
00:23:45.000 What could have happened?
00:23:46.000 What could have happened if you had been holding your gun when you answered the door?
00:23:50.000 I don't know.
00:23:51.000 I mean, that's the danger.
00:23:53.000 And that's how people, that's how people accidentally get killed.
00:23:58.000 You know, if these police officers are great, though, Jack.
00:24:01.000 I just, I can't say enough great things about them.
00:24:03.000 They, they had their whereabouts.
00:24:05.000 You know, they were, they were calm.
00:24:07.000 They were in control, but they knew it was, they were very serious.
00:24:11.000 They were prepared to respond to the situation if the 911 call was true.
00:24:16.000 But in other situations, let's say if there's, you know, a police officer that has a happy trigger finger, you know, you don't know what could happen.
00:24:26.000 If they saw me with a gun, they may have fired at me.
00:24:31.000 I would hope not, but that could, that's what has happened in the past with swatting.
00:24:36.000 That is why, that's why being swatted or swatting is so dangerous.
00:24:41.000 It's actually, it's like a death by cop.
00:24:45.000 It is a murder.
00:24:47.000 It's someone that is sending police to, in their hopes, kill the person that they're targeting.
00:24:55.000 And, you know, in this case, now that we know what the guy said, we know it is political terrorism is really what it is.
00:25:04.000 And it's an abuse.
00:25:06.000 It's an abuse of our police officers who are just trying to do their job.
00:25:13.000 And it is just incredibly scary and very dangerous.
00:25:17.000 And especially I am a sitting member of Congress.
00:25:20.000 And this happened to me at my house in the middle of the night, a sitting member of Congress.
00:25:25.000 So that takes it to an entirely different level, especially now that the guy called back and admitted why he's mad at me.
00:25:33.000 And it's about trans youth.
00:25:36.000 And so that tells you a lot right there.
00:25:38.000 Well, Congresswoman, just for my, on behalf of myself, the entire audience, of course, you know, my wife, Tanya, just God, thank God you're okay.
00:25:46.000 Thank God that you're okay, the family's okay, that nothing like that happened because you were brought to that point.
00:25:52.000 And it sounds like because these police were so professional and because, I mean, I'm hoping they probably recognized you or would have seen your name before they went to the home, but they understood the situation they were getting into.
00:26:04.000 And thank God everyone's safe.
00:26:05.000 Thank God that you survived this.
00:26:07.000 This is very emotional, very graphic.
00:26:10.000 But people need to understand this is what time it is.
00:26:14.000 Charlie talks about that every single day when he's here.
00:26:17.000 And I know he'd be saying the same thing, that this is what we are up against.
00:26:21.000 This is what the other side is willing to do because they lack morality, because they have no limits to what they will do to achieve their end.
00:26:29.000 This is not a joke.
00:26:30.000 This isn't a harmless prank.
00:26:32.000 This is real life.
00:26:33.000 This is life and death.
00:26:35.000 So we're going to, you're not going to stop fighting.
00:26:37.000 And I am certainly not going to stop fighting because I think what happened to you is it's so horrific.
00:26:42.000 And we need to understand what time we're in.
00:26:45.000 Yeah, absolutely, Jack.
00:26:46.000 And you know this because you've been a victim of it as well, as you just mentioned, is you were targeted in the same way.
00:26:53.000 And thank God that the police recognized it right away.
00:26:56.000 But Steve Bannon has been swatted.
00:26:59.000 Tim Poole has been swatted over and over again to the point where it's absurd.
00:27:04.000 And then look at our political, our weaponized Department of Justice with Merritt Garland sending the FBI to raid Mar-Lago.
00:27:14.000 I mean, that one is, people need to go to jail for that.
00:27:17.000 You know, I've introduced articles of impeachment against Merrick Garland because I absolutely believe the man must be taken out of his position of power.
00:27:25.000 He is completely abusing it and he's using it to persecute his political enemies.
00:27:30.000 But it is terrifying.
00:27:32.000 It is terrifying to wake up in the middle of the night not knowing what in the world is going on with police surrounding your house and they don't know what's going on.
00:27:40.000 so unfair to our police officers and and um to be put in the situation where it's potentially deadly it is potentially deadly and that is the exact reason why people do this that's why this whoever this guy is whoever they are and we're going to hunt them down and find them and and hold them accountable but that is what they want they were hoping that i would be killed they were hoping me or someone in my family would be killed because they're angry at me. 0.85
00:28:10.000 They're so angry at me over an issue that is beyond evil and absolutely repulsive and disgusting.
00:28:19.000 And they're so intent on making sure that this horrific practice of convincing children that they can change their gender and do terrible permanent damage to their bodies.
00:28:33.000 That's what this guy wants to make continue to happen.
00:28:36.000 And he sees me as the biggest threat to stop it.
00:28:39.000 And, you know, it's political terrorism, Jack.
00:28:42.000 And that is what time it is in the country is we have a government in charge right now and they're a regime.
00:28:48.000 They are not an American government.
00:28:50.000 They're not like anything we have ever known.
00:28:53.000 But not only the ones in power, but all of their activists and their army on the ground, they are the ones that are willing to try to kill members of Congress by swatting.
00:29:04.000 And I have plenty of death threats. 0.98
00:29:06.000 Believe me, they're trying to kill me, period. 0.94
00:29:09.000 But that's where we are in this country.
00:29:11.000 And Jack, you know this and you always stand up for it.
00:29:14.000 We can't back down.
00:29:15.000 We cannot back down.
00:29:16.000 As a matter of fact, we have to dig in and make sure that we can gut our government of these unelected bureaucrats and stop these activists on the ground and hold them accountable because we can't allow our country to fall into pure communism.
00:29:31.000 We've talked about the need for reform, possibly breaking up, looking at the funding for this FBI completely out of control.
00:29:40.000 But then you're also saying that you support the local police.
00:29:43.000 You're very thankful for local police.
00:29:45.000 I had a tweet up the other day where I was talking about this and said, look, you can be pro-police, but not pro-police state.
00:29:53.000 When we look at our local police, that when they're doing their job well and we have the right people in place, they are one of the last bastions left that we have upholding our society.
00:30:00.000 So on the last note there, you said that you wanted to have a message for the local police last night.
00:30:07.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:30:09.000 And I will tell them in person.
00:30:11.000 They are fantastic.
00:30:12.000 I support them in every way, shape, and form.
00:30:16.000 My local police are the greatest.
00:30:18.000 Many law enforcement agents on the ground, they are wonderful.
00:30:21.000 They are the ones that protect us at night, keep us safe, keep our streets clean, get the drugs off the street and out of communities.
00:30:30.000 They arrest the murderers.
00:30:32.000 They arrest the rapists.
00:30:34.000 These are the good guys.
00:30:35.000 They're the watchmen on the wall.
00:30:37.000 And they are the ones that we should support to the fullest extent in every way, shape, and form.
00:30:43.000 Not only support them so they can do their jobs, we should protect them and their families because that is so important.
00:30:49.000 But Jack, there's a major difference.
00:30:51.000 And you can't tell anybody, any of our people, that like Peter Strzok and James Comey and Lisa Page and that crowd are the same as our local law enforcement because that ride does fell.
00:31:04.000 And so, yes, I've been very vocal about defunding the FBI because when Republicans are in power, the only power we have is the power of the budget.
00:31:12.000 And that is the only way we can make true changes.
00:31:16.000 Thank you so much for joining us.
00:31:17.000 God bless to you.
00:31:18.000 God bless to your family.
00:31:19.000 We hope that you are safe and we will make sure to get this out to everybody.
00:31:22.000 Thank you and stay well.
00:31:24.000 Okay, bye-bye.
00:31:26.000 Thanks so much for listening.
00:31:27.000 I can't believe this is going on in our country, but you have to understand what time it is.
