conservative, i think most pro-trump is the best way to characterize those folks, including congressman matt gaetz and thomas massey. she pushed back against them they criticized her for speaking well of dr. fauci in public. she tweeted back in may that he was somebody that we absolutely needed to listen to because of his expertise. and the reality is that's a

florida congressman matt gaetz. you know, congressmen, i'll start with you., they do this to all conservatives. i don't call for anyone's firings, i don't support boycotts, i never will. it's really an effort to silence speak you don't agree with. i think people are smart enough and make decisions of what shows they watch and radio they listen to. out of nowhere, this incredible audience on this channel, my radio show, they started busting up there -- i ended up buying 500 to replace them for the nice people that werehe defending me, and by the way, it worked. this bicot is viral. i'm going to buy goya foods and give it to my local food pantry. >> the -- the reason our national anthem matters, or statues matter, businesses like goya foods matter, they create a sense of national identity. we want that national identity to be strong so the people are patriotic and love our country, fight for our country to be the very best version of itself. the left is attacking all of this because they want us to love our people and our history and our star-spangled banner le

with me now florida commerce man matt gaetz at the center of the reopening debate. good evening congressman. thanks for being with us tonight. in florida there is this debate going on and the president is calling for schools to reopen. florida now is apparently in the midst of a rise in coronavirus cases. how does this thing get resolved? >> in florida we are going to reopen schools across the nation there has never been a more important time for us to embrace parent empowerment and of course parents should be empowered within an in-person instruction option in public schools with sanitation and requisite social distancing and testing that is necessary to ensure that in fact is a safe environment. we should also do more to make sure that parents can keep work their own money to raise and educate their own kids how they choose. occasion should not be a government-run monopoly and we should end the war that's gone on between public instruction and homeschooling for far too long. judge jeanine: will but how do we do it and if someone is going to a public school and the

congressman collins, congressman matt gaetz, thank you. the outright lies being spread by law enforcement. the 99% that literally protect and serve their communities, all across this country, so many now injured, some dad, the devastating real-world calm federal officers are facing permanent blindness following attacks, lasers in portland, the attorney general talking about the brave men and women that protect and serve, that biden has never said a single good word about except that, "they've become the enemy." take a look at barr. >> fact of the matter is, in portland, the portland courthouse is under attack. federal resources are inside the perimeter around the courthouse defending it from almost two months of daily attacks were people marched to the court, tried to gain entrance and set fires from things, use explosives, injured police including just this past weekend, perhaps permanently blinding three federal officers with lasers. >> sean: blinding law enforcement officers. think about that. look at this disturbing new video from "the

congressman matt gaetz, doug collins will be here with more straight ahead. let me be clear, these democrats have a blind rage towards the attorney general for two reaso reasons. he is actually taking action to restore law and order and actually taking action to protect federal property and bring left-wing lawlessness to justice. and secondly, he's doing his job and that is exposing the truth and that is the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in american history and they know it and he has committed to holding those that abused power that are corrupt accountable. which means the obama-biden deep state cabal that used a fake dossier to spy on team trump are all in trouble if they get to the truth, which we are getting to you. and no one laid it out better today than congressman jim jordan of ohio. let's look at this. >> spying, that one word. that's why there after you, mr. attorney general. had the courage to do what no one else would do at the justice department. sally yates wouldn't call it spying. jeff sessions wouldn't do it, rod rosenstein wouldn'

. >> sean: matt gaetz you see this unfolding around the country. my attitude is very simple., bernie kerik is right. we do have federal agents in big cities. okay, protecting federal courthouses and federal buildings. they have not only a right but an obligation to do so. but unless and until these liberal mayors, liberal governors, or willing to do their job, and are rejecting the president's help, this is on their job, and are rejecting the them president's help, this is on that their job, and are rejecting the is their problem. all the president can do is offer to help. and i will tell you, their rejection is resulting in a lost life. this is not a game anymore. >> america is a great nation and a great nation does not allow for cities to fall victim to the angry mob. the victims in these cases violence who see their businesses destroyed, their churches and sometimes even their lives lost and the lives lost of their children appear they are not just seattle lives or portlanders, new yorkers, they are americans. and you are right secretary chad wolf said if we didn't have fe

politicians, they have got to stop complaining, and they have to start doing something. >> sean: matt gaetzu're particularly powerful in your arguments. i would like to give you a chance to explain. >> here is the message to the president, congress will not do anything on big tech because congress is bought off by big tech. we have proved today that many of american's largest technology platforms for not acting in the best interest of our country. they have pulled out of deals as google has with our own military to keep our service members save. but then google has no problem going and partnering with the chinese military of all folks. even the chairman of the joint chief of staff said google is directly benefiting the chinese military. but it's not that they are just working with china, they are trying to turn our country into china. google in particular. it is the most dangerous election interference organization in the world. at a meeting where his top executive team said that they had to stop donald trump in four years and make his victory just a populist blip in history. since then, he

lou: watching jim jordan and matt gaetz and andy biggs and a handful of others, they raised a voice inense of our constitution and conservatives who are being crushed by each one of the people that you saw there with whether it's amazon and jeff bezos, facebook and mark zuckerberg, you know, it is just stunning to watch what they are doing. and almost without comment from the national media. which should be standing up for, you would think, of all things freedom of expression. 230, section 230 to protect these technology companies, these social media companies in particular from liability for their users. that has become an artifact, has it not? it is a relic of a moment that no longer exists on our history. why should there be special protection and immunity for these massively powerful technology companies who are swinging that power in the direction of the conservatives with seemingly every opportunity they get? >> what's interesting is there's actually bipartisan support for this. vice president biden has said that section 230 should be revocked immediately. section 230 was passed

so you, particularly tucker, f matt gaetz and everybody i named, my heart goes out to you.eeply deeply grateful but more than anything else, i am grateful for god because as you told me, if i would rededicate my life, i would be reborn. i remember it like it was yesterday and your advice was e,solid. you said god will never desert you. you will never abandon you. he will protect you if you confess your sins and you walk in his way. and i've done my very best to do that. >> sean: let me go through and i want you to tell people, because this whole system of justice where, sammy "the bull" gravano, the biggest case in point, he commits 19 murders and given a get-out-of-jail-free card and a witness protection program because he flipped on john gotti. put that aside for a second, in your case, did mueller and w his team offer anything of value, your freedom for example i would argue is of great value if you would say certain things they wanted you to say whether they were true or not. >> in the beginning of the case, sean, i don't think that was their intention. but as they got

you mentioned, matt gaetz, jim jordan others on the house side don't like she's so effusive of her praiseuci and listen to her this morning saying this is too much about not too much. >> well, my voting record with president trump is 97% of the time. there are areas that tend to be on national security we don't always agree. i find in my experience the president appreciates people who are direct. people who explain what they think. d. i get your point, senator, about a healthy debate. both parties should have a healthy debate. this proceed, though, uses his twitter chainsaw to shut down the debate within the republican party sometimes. and liz cheney tweeted a picture of her father, former vice president saying real men wearing a masksality time the president was not an advocate of masks. she occasionally does pick a fight. >> look, as amanda was saying, a dip fissure within the republican party. i go back to saying none of that on the democratic side. everything is following in line with the left. it you see republicans particularly on the issue of foreign policy. just between amanda and

republican congressman matt gaetz of florida, he escalated the feud and tweeted that cheney worked againstnd should step down as the number three republican in the house. donald trump jr. then tweeted "we already have one mitt romney. we don't need another." cheney brushed off criticism. >> donald trump jr. is not a member of the house republicans caucus. we have a situation in many cases where we can have a healthy exchange of views. unfortunately you don't see it as much in the democratic caucus. >> one member told fox conservatives are doubling down on chain cheney because there'sa growing sense we are losing the election big time. cheney took a pass on the wyoming senate race this year is some conservatives instead backed former g.o.p. wyoming representative cynthia lammas. part of that calculus is that cheney could emerge down the line as republican leader or speaker. now there are only 13 house republicans and women. cheney is the only one with a major leadership position. some republicans will tell you privately that they think that cheney could defeat kevin mccarthy or steve scalis

you hear from matt gaetz, it's so interesting. no liberal. >> i know, but what you have to realize is maybe some of those in the freedom caucus have their own political ambitions. they believe that liz cheney could become the leader of the republican conference. and maybe they're trying to clip her wings a bit. and i think that's partly what this is about. but i think the whole episode is absurd, to be going after her in a time like this. she's been right in her criticisms and this is a litmus test for republicans right now. it's loyalty to the president. and she by her own admission voted with the president 97% of the time. but has disagreed with him on some major foreign policy issues. >> speaking of a possible post-trump world in the near future, president trump's poll ratings, poll numbers had cratered for his handling of coronavirus. and so he has pivoted quite visibly by trying to become noub,nou, you know, a law and order president, by sending agents into various cities, and now he is back in the past two days to having the

also someone like matt gaetz who called on her. i caught up with liz cheney and asked her about it.aid, they're all on the same page. they all want joe biden to lose. she said she and thomas massey are in a, quote, good place. but after i talked to her, donald trump jr. decided to weigh in and he tweeted, we already have one mitt romney, we don't need another. and we also don't need the endless wars she advocates for. and she was asked about that at a news conference later in the day and said that donald trump jr. is not a member of the house republican conference and the house republican leadership, kevin mccarthy, offered his support for her. but all of this points to the sign that loyalty to the president is essential in republican politics these days, particularly in house republican politics. and if you step out of line, some of the president's allies are going to come after you. guys? >> yes, we are seeing that, writ large. manu raju, thank you very much for all of the reporting from capitol hill there. >> thank you. >>> so china is vowing to retaliate after the u.s. ordered t

some of his political allies joined in, too, such as congressman matt gaetz from florida who seemed to mock those taking the virus seriously when he wore a gas mask before a vote on the house floor. >> it's a great time to just go out, go to a local restaurant. >> also devin nunes, one of his closest allies going on fox news and telling people they should still feel comfortable going out to eat at restaurants when health advisers were saying the exact opposite. >> on the other side of the political aisle, andrew cuomo and new york city mayor bill de blasio did not initially grasp the full gravity of the crisis, either. >> excuse our arrogance as new yorkers. we don't even think it's going to be as bad as it was in other countries. >> why is everyone panicking? >> then there was the pro-trump media that turned the pandemic into a -- conspiracy. >> they're looking for every way to bash trump. >> accusing them of fear mongering, democrats and the media are blowing this up -- because they want to create more chaos for the president. >> i'm far more concerned of stepping on a used heroin ne

steve: so, congressman, you both took the high road, matt gaetz took the twitter road and tweeted outresident trump. liz cheney should step down or be removed. what do you make of that? that seems like he's going way over the line. >> matt gaetz is a good friend, and he wants president trump to get reelected just as strong strongly as i do and everyone in the republican caucus does. i think when americans step back and look where joe biden wants to -- take china, for example. which model, i've not seen a president stronger on china than this president. which model do you want, the joe bide within/hunter biden model in china or the president trump -- steve: so, congressman, the good news is you republicans are all sticking together. it sounds lie you don't think they should -- like you don't think she should go anywhere. >> i'm focused on the reelection of the president. plain and simple, steve. [laughter] steve: okay. ainsley: let's talk about russia collusion because there are new declassified documents that show fbi leaders knew early on this dossier was not enough information for t

because you have some of the more conservative republicans, like matt gaetz, from florida and then youot some of the more, most liberal democrats you can think of like elizabeth warren, all going after these companies. and it is almost like no good deed goes unpunished. some of the activities of these companies, for example, i mentioned their political bias, the fact that they are involved in censorship of conservative free market views. i hate that i certainly think it is appropriate for conservatives to go after that kind of activity. we should have a level playing field but the real question here i think, neil, is whether antitrust, you know, kinds of proceedings are the right way to go after these companies. how in the world can you say that a company like apple or company like google is a monopoly. look, if monopolies are bad, it is bad because they use monopoly power to raise prices for consumer. wait a minute, google is free. apple raised iphone 25% over last 20 years. cost of delivery thanks to companies like amazon has fallen 50 or 60%. so i see no evidence, neil, consumers ar

if you have congressman matt gaetz who has filed a criminal complaint against mark zuckerberg saying, watch what are so-called trending were so many trends are about me and never a good one. they look for anything they can find and make it as bad as possible and blow it up trying to make a trend. it's ridiculously illegal and very unfair. facebook tried to kind of remedy this a while back, is there a solution against this perceived discrimination? >> i think it's important to see with the progression has been early on, and we were told there was no bias, going back a couple of years and it's just algorithms, it was effectively automated in the back end of websites, high level advanced map stuff that nobody needs to worry about and then we find out in case after case, and he's been talking about it, anyone who sees the pattern here, and we really are operating as monopolies now. just act as a platform and not a publisher, or else he will have to start regulating the same way. i'm in the radio business and there's all kinds of things that you can say and you can do radio stations can't
