Trump for allowing Black and Jewish Americans to join his private clubs when that was not the norm. Matt Gaetz in his house floor speech said:  Mr. Chairman, let me begin by saying that it used to be the case on Palm Beach Island that no blacks or Jews were even allowed to be members or invited as members at the private clubs, and it was actually Donald Trump before he was in politics who made that, I believe, very important change so that we weren't treating people differently based on their immutable traits. I also want to say something on the subject of this hearing when it comes to Supreme Court ethics and guardrails. I am supportive of bipartisan efforts to have some sort of ethics construct on the court. I don't understand why Congress is subject to ethics rules and the executive is subject to ethics rules, bu

Gaetz in his remarks said: Mr. Chairman, I can't imagine being one of the 232 people sitting in federal prison right now thinking if I had committed the exact same offense after President Trump had signed the first step act, I wouldn't be here anymore. I'd be with my family. But instead, because of what I think is a flawed determination that didn't allow retroactivity, we are treating people differently for committing the same offenses. We're incarcerating some people for the very same offenses that they would otherwise not be incarcerated for. And so I think that's an appropriate fix. There has been discussion today about fentanyl and it irks me every time I hear someone talk about fentanyl overdoses. Because no one overdoses on fentanyl because I don't think anybody really sets out to, like, sco

Watch out for the video reaction below: I yield to my friend from Florida Mr. Gaetz. Gatez: Is hunter Biden a national security threat? DOJ Official: That's not a question that would come up before me Congressman. Gaetz: You're the head of the national security division so it seems sort of on the nose. DOJ Official: It's not in my practice or experience to identify individuals, not in my services individuals as American citizens, or any individual as a national security threat. Gaetz: well you would certainly concede that if the adult offspring of the president of the united states or the vice president were compromised that would be a national security threat right?  Where's the laptop position do you know where hunter Biden's laptop is? You come here and you tell us you follow th

Matt in his House Speech said: Democrats brought us FDR's inflation, they brought us FDR's recessions and now they're trying to get us FDR's attacks on the court. FDR's court-packing strategy. this isn't about judicial ethics or transparency the American people know that.  Democrats don't like the fact that republicans while in power put folks on the court who are now ruling in adherence with the strict text of the constitution rather than their desire to engage in an anti-democratic process. And the other reason we know that this isn't about ethics and that this bill is just gaslighting to justify packing the supreme court is because the gentleman from New York Mr. Jones told us. I said the quiet part out loud that the goal here is to pack the court and attack an institution valued

Matt Gaetz said: Gas prices are rising, the border has become a turnstile, inflation is crushing our fellow Americans, and here we are, back on the floor of the house reliving January 6th. Some of the members of the January 6 committee come from the swamps of Washington D.C. I come from the swamps of Florida and I know alligator tears when I see them and yet we are lectured about performing for the former president. The reason cavino and Navarro shouldn't be held in contempt is that the January 6 committee itself is, so performative illegitimate unconstitutional in kicking off the republicans that leader McCarthy sent to serve on the committee.  You know we were accused by the majority leader of having our party hijacked our party is ascendant and time is on our side because when we take the majority back this nonsense will come t

Lloyd Austin.    Here you can read the complete conversation between Rep. Gaetz & Sec. Austin: Matt Gaetz asked a question: Secretary Austin why should American taxpayers fund lectures at the National Defense University that promote socialism as a strategy to combat china? Sec. Austin: It's the national defense university as an academic institution and I don't know of any such lecture! Matt Gatez: But that's surprising because it was widely reported the National Defense University had Thomas Piketty come. And this was the title of his lecture responding to china, The case for global justice and democratic socialism. So now that you know that they did this, Would you agree that embracing socialism is not an effective strategy to combat China? If we don't embrace it then I guess why did the National Defense Un

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr At a House Armed Services Committee hearing, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) asked Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Celeste Wallander if there are 'contingency plans' for President Joe Biden. Matt: I sort of wonder whether or not have to have contingency plans for a president who seems to be confused on those matters. And you're saying there is no contingency plan?  Dr. Wallander said: I'm telling you, Congressman the Department of Defense leadership is focused on sustaining and advancing American Nationals security policy of this administration.  Matt: Is, the Department of defense, Frustrated by the President's against US policy? Dr. Wallander said: Congressman, I think that is an  inappropriate characterization of the question.  Matt: Is the department leadership frustrated its I'm not characterization. Dr. Wallander said: Congressman: I can only speak for myself. I am

FBI Cyber Chief: Sir I don't know the answer Matt: That is astonishing to me, Is has FBI cyber assessed whether or not hunter Biden's laptop could be a point of vulnerability allowing America's enemies to hurt our country. FBI Cyber Chief: Sir, The FBI cyber program is based of what's codified in title 18 or title 18 section 1030 a code which talks about computer intrusions right using nefariou
