the news keeps getting worse for matt gaetz.ostponements for a defendant's sentencing, it is unusual to have a third postponement after the judge in the last postponement said, this is it. no more. both sides have agreed to postpone another time and i expect a judge to grant it. i think what makes this troublesome for matt gaetz is that it occurred a month after the ex-girlfriend testified before the grand jury. and that ex-girlfriend is a incredible witness who can corroborate the claims made by professional criminal joel greenberg. she has information, reportedly, about child sex trafficking, about violations of the man act which says you can't transport individuals across state or federal lines for purposes of prostitution, and possible witness tampering which gets him up to 20 years in prison. so all bad for matt gaetz. >> so when you look at this, plain english, the prosecutors say, okay, we're going along with this further extension because why? if they're running a tight ship, they should have gotten a lot already. >> yes

representative matt gaetz: thank y'all so much for coming to hear me.nd applause] my colleagues liz cheney and adam kinzinger are having a conference at the national press club in washington dc to talk about how real republicans should behave. [laughter] i am glad to be here with all of you in the free state of florida, this is donald trump's party, and i am a donald trump republican. [cheers and applause] the rent is too damn high. they told us that, then they were elected to office. the gas bill is high. the grocery bill is high. and yes, the rent is too high. the tender swindlers are treating them them better than others. when i ran for congress, i thought the doj, the fbi, the cdc, those were supposed to be the good guys. simpler days. i was extorted by that former doj official. the fbi saw one of their own lawyers change evidence to frame president trump. they are cheating more than the russian figure skating team. the cdc one of the powers of the cia to end up with the credibility of cnn. [laughter] now, joe biden and even some who have taken the

getaetz outlined his view which is obviously very disappointing would you like to have matt gaetz come that be necessary? >> well, i don't know. certainly what could he add to what he's already just said in public? iky think of anything more damning than that. >> and as part of your investigation received documents from the national archives ripped up and taped together is that right? hearing reporting in the "washington post" that trump ripped up all sorts of documents and that is staff would decide amongst themselves what would be saved what would not be saved and sent off to the incinerator, i suppose. what the "washington post" is reporting. often we hear in washington, d.c. it's not the crime it's the cover-up. are you concerned that you need a -- a cover-up investigation in addition to the investigation into january 6th? >> no. we're focused on january 6th, and the events leading up to it. if there is a violation of law, that's for the department of justice. we're a legislative committee trying to get the truth and also to inform ourselves about what legislative or administrative

. >> let me play a clip of congressman matt gaetz.e was on steve bannon's podcast, who's still being a podcast even though he's under indictment. he was talking about meeting with pence ahead of january 6th. >> i remember my last meeting with mike nuary 6th. it was in the white house. they were there talking not errt about the substantive argument that is we believed would prevail in debate much like peter navarro has laid out on this program and also the substantive arguments we thought would be per ssuasive to state legislatures. to not maintain the fiction of elections that were not run fairly and i knew then he was not going to show a great deal of boldness before the congress. we put forward arguments and affidavits and evidence. we were in the cabinet room meeting with mike pence in the days leading up to january 6th and i left quite disappointed that he was not motivated by our argument. >> you know, congresswoman, it's not just about what occurred on january 6th. it is about what occurred in the run up to january 6th and this

i think matt gaetz should be in there. i think the former vice president should be in there.d explain a lot that his staff, which is apparently cooperating with the committee, cannot. they really can't get to his precise state of mind. they can't get to all of what was changed between he and trump. they weren't privy to it. so yes, i think he should be a witness and i think his speech didn't go far at all. he just said what everybody knew. he said i'm not a total toady. i'm going to stand up and say the former president is wrong in saying i had the authority, but he didn't say i think the election was fair and square and let's just get on with business. >> yeah. that is, i mean i think that sums it up perfectly. pence is essentially saying the accurate part out loud. we'll see if he has anything more to say about it. trump has said a couple of times that he would consider pardons or go ahead and pardon people convicted of the capitol riots. >> i would absolutely because some of them are being treated very unfairly. yeah, i would absolutely give them a pardon if things don't w

and then there's members like matt gaetz and newt gingrich who want to turn it into a fallout weapon against those who were continue committee, investigate the investigators, and undermine the reality of what happened on january 6th, which is that trump supporters breached and attacked people in the capitol. they're trying to turn, claim that, you know, the government was behind it, or whatever conspiracy theory they're trying spin. that is really where you're sort of seeing it. and it will, expectedly, if mccarthy becomes speaker, fall to him. but at the moment, there are a lot of ideas and it seems like there is a push at least use it as some sort of political tool. >> at some point, i think the republican leadership is going to have to answer for claims like the one thayou mentioned from madison hawthorne, the congressman suggesting that january 6th was a false flag investigation and it should be investigated. the deep state was behind it. sure. olivia beavers, thanks so much for the time. always appreciate hearing from you. >> thanks, boris. >> of course. >>> later this morning,

would you want to go to congress and serve and have less seniority than marjorie taylor green or matt gaetzlitical system we have today. i think i may get back out there but right now i just want to take care of my kids and my wife. >> trevor: let's talk about the book, "who are your people?." a lot of people that could be interpreted the wrong way. in america, it's uncomfortable when you say, where are you from? >> down south it's a colloquialism when you meet people the first time, like when i met my daughter's boyfriend for the first time, she's 16, you want to know where their family comes from and what kind of stock they come from. "who are your people?" is trying to understand where you come from. i wrote it because i was tired of my friends having to see purple or blue people on tv. i wanted them to see people who look like them. in this book they're able to see them and their people and have a sense of pride. i think when young black and brown kids read it they'll get a sense of pride and when white kids read it they'll get a sense of empathy. we live in a country with an empathy de

and my friends, congressman matt gaetz and morgan griffith, work alongside her and worked on our side of the aisle to make folks aware of the need for this legislation. i urge my colleagues to support h.r. 4445 because, one, it empowers rape victims to make a choice between arbitration and going to court. it also makes sure that sexual predators are held accountable. and finally, it puts corporations on notice that if they don't clean up their act, they're going to have a big problem. there's no more sweeping an issue like this under the carpet. this is something that corporations are going to take seriously, and they are going to change their conduct as a result of the possible change to their bottom line. this gives -- this bill gives members a choice to support rape victims or rapists. i choose to support the rape victims, the survivors of a terrible ordeal. and i urge my colleagues to do the same. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i now yield a minute and 30 seconds to another member of the judiciary committee, distingui

matt gaetz called me on the phone and he said jim, -- my first reaction was basically matt that sounds. gates understands tech better than i do and he explained it to me and it turns out he was right.t. it wasn't just matt and i it was meadows in and jordan in the summer of 2018. it was interesting because this was pointed out by twitter and twitter came back and said it wasn't intentional. it was jack dorsey and his spokesperson saying it was just a glitch. i was doing an interview and i said yale they said it was a glitch in the algorithm. the names gaetz meadows nunes and jordan. this is a big concern what big tech is doing to conservatives. we know the example the ayatollah can tweet. the president can't? the censorship? the censorship we see is a concern than the coalition and the cord nation between the tech and big media to keep the american people from getting important information like last fall before the 2020 election when the attack and big media work together to make sure the american people didn't get full information about the hunter biden story even though we had an eye

you heard matt gaetz condemning mike pence for having strong statements about how he could not actuallyion. this is a case in which if donald trump were a different version of donald trump they could move on. for donald trump the idea he lost the 2020 election, which he did, is the biggest slap in the face imaginable. i think you're going to see increasingly this year's elections and in 2024 whether or not you believe the big lie is going to be a litmus test. i think we're going to see that moving forward. it's interesting. people keep saying politicizing january 6th. january 6th was a political event. the point of january 6th was that someone who lost an election believed he didn't lose an election. that's a political statement. i think you're seeing republicans wishing that other republicans would stop talking about this. until donald trump does, they're in trouble. >> michael mccaul was saying they should be talking about joe biden, but maybe not this week. joe biden had a pretty good week this week with the economy and the omicron numbers going down across the country and the suprem

yesterday aoc and matt gaetz both called for meta to be broken up, and it's part of a broader call for burn's team, and she affirmed, quote: i repeatedly have said big isn't necessarily bad, but our hearings have shone a light on the company's many bad behaviors, so i'm not surprised the ftc is concerned. what impact does this really have, right? the suit aims to reverse the acquisitions of whatsapp, but, david, i worked in m and m, over 70% of -- m&a, over 70% of transactions fail. we don't really know. and, in fact, a former ftc commissioner tells me proving the counterfactual is a tall order. >> we could see facebook broken up, but there's nothing easy about this case for the ftc. the case will involve a difficult effort to assess what would have happened otherwise. so the ftc is placing a very heavy bet on the idea that these acquisitions forestalled the emergence of significant rivals to facebook as a social network. >> reporter: in response to my inquiry, a meta spokesperson highlighted the ceo's comments orb the fierce competition from tiktok, so it will take years of litigation
