=== Florida Congressman and Swatting (14:09) ===

[00:00:00]  Got a massive show for you here.
[00:00:02]  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.
[00:00:13]  What happened to her?
[00:00:14]  Why the left is targeting her over trying to ban the mutilation of children?
[00:00:19]  You do not want to miss this.
[00:00:21]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:23]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:00:25]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:28]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:32]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:33]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:34]  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]  Turning point USA.
[00:00:42]  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]  That's why we are here.
[00:00:54]  Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
[00:01:03]  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]  And what does that mean?
[00:01:15]  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]  No, he's not helping with that.
[00:01:24]  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.
[00:01:38]  It's ridiculous.
[00:01:39]  And you want to talk about inflation reduction.
[00:01:41]  We're talking about inflation through the roof, plus another billion, $3 billion, $4 billion, $5 billion.
[00:01:47]  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]  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]  So I want to know how much money has the U.S. taxpayer actually sent over to Ukraine.
[00:02:08]  I'd like to get an auditing of it, but I'm sure we're not going to get that.
[00:02:11]  And I'd like to get some answer as to what is being done with it.
[00:02:16]  Is it effective?
[00:02:16]  Is it working?
[00:02:17]  Are we doing what we need to do?
[00:02:19]  But we also had a massive election last night.
[00:02:22]  Several states, we're going to be bringing on some people who were up for election.
[00:02:26]  I want to talk about some of the things that we discussed earlier this week.
[00:02:31]  We discussed this idea that the Republicans are sleepwalking into the election.
[00:02:37]  Are they ready for this?
[00:02:39]  Do they know what's going on?
[00:02:40]  Are they prepared?
[00:02:41]  Or is this something?
[00:02:44]  Is this something where the Republicans don't even know?
[00:02:50]  What we're talking about is the cracks, are the cracks in the red wave.
[00:02:55]  This is something that we talked about here earlier in the program.
[00:02:59]  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]  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]  And when they threw everything at him, he was able to come in on top.
[00:03:19]  Congressman Gates, welcome to the program.
[00:03:21]  Oh, thanks so much for having me, Jack.
[00:03:23]  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]  I love hearing you on Human Events Daily.
[00:03:32]  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]  Maybe firebrand.
[00:03:41]  I'll have to have guest host firebrand one of these days.
[00:03:43]  We'd love that.
[00:03:44]  Really take you out.
[00:03:45]  We love that.
[00:03:46]  We'd love that.
[00:03:46]  But yeah, it's all smiles here in Florida.
[00:03:48]  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]  And I think our voters expect us to have a fighting spirit.
[00:04:01]  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]  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]  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]  And I sure hope he doesn't plan to retire in my beautiful Florida like so many people do.
[00:04:33]  I think he ought to retire where he can be closer to his work in Wuhan, China.
[00:04:37]  You know, there's so much to dig into there.
[00:04:40]  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]  I think he's actually leaving because he knows the conservative Republican majority is coming in this November.
[00:04:56]  They're going to be seated.
[00:04:57]  You'll be seated in January.
[00:04:59]  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]  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]  Matt, I'd love to see you on there.
[00:05:18]  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]  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]  Well, I think we're going to see Fauci as the front end of this wave.
[00:05:37]  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]  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]  But I have a vision that is specific for the Republican control of the House and divided government.
[00:06:09]  We have to convert every single committee to an oversight committee.
[00:06:13]  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]  You just assign, you know, the Hunter-Biden matter to foreign affairs.
[00:06:22]  You assign vaccine injuries to the healthcare committees.
[00:06:26]  You assign breaking up big tech to the commerce committee.
[00:06:30]  You assign getting the wokeism out of our military to the Armed Services Committee.
[00:06:35]  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]  So what was once kind of a radical, unprecedented perspective on how to utilize the majority now has become pretty mainstream.
[00:06:50]  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]  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]  And that's why I think we've got to get the right people through these primaries.
[00:07:07]  We certainly need some of our fighters to survive in some tough general elections.
[00:07:11]  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]  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]  Saying we're headed for a recession this year, it said the new year target is the lowest on the street.
[00:07:40]  This is not good news for those of you stuck in equities or anything tied to stock markets.
[00:07:45]  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]  You can join them by calling their expert team.
[00:07:53]  Noble Gold was recently voted the number one gold company in the country by consumer affairs.
[00:07:58]  No call centers, no scripted response, no bull, just a straight, honest run through options so you can decide.
[00:08:04]  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]  You can't go wrong with Noble Gold.

[00:08:24]  In some districts, we're seeing where President Trump gets involved, he dominates.
[00:08:28]  15 out of 15 in Florida.
[00:08:30]  I think his record is something like 92% or higher for all of 2022.
[00:08:35]  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]  You're almost seeing a low enthusiasm.
[00:08:47]  And then Dave Wasserman's out there.
[00:08:49]  Oh, I don't know what's going to happen.
[00:08:50]  There's cracks.
[00:08:51]  Maybe Dobbs is playing a role.
[00:08:52]  What is your take on that current dynamic?
[00:08:57]  We got work to do with the under 40 crowd.
[00:09:00]  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]  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]  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]  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]  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]  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]  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]  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]  I think that would help us a lot.
[00:10:19]  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]  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]  But what you're talking about is exactly this winning message of we are going to correct these schools.
[00:10:39]  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]  No, it's actually all around the entire country.
[00:10:51]  Oh, yeah.
[00:10:52]  Public education is far too important to be left to the educators.
[00:10:56]  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]  And so we have to take the successes at the school board level and scale them to the moon.
[00:11:17]  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]  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]  And we can't allow the right to be unfairly cast here.
[00:11:39]  And I think that happened in Kansas.
[00:11:41]  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]  And that's not what most Americans want.
[00:11:53]  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]  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]  Congressman, let me read Wasserman's tweet here.
[00:12:12]  And he says, Dems being more engaged are energetic post-Dobs, which is undeniably true.
[00:12:17]  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]  Do you agree or disagree with that?
[00:12:26]  The Trump base doesn't come out as strong when Trump's not on the ballot.
[00:12:30]  We saw that in 2018.
[00:12:31]  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]  But undeniably, the Trump effect is considerably stronger when he's on the ballot.
[00:12:42]  We saw a similar dynamic with Obama.
[00:12:44]  And that's why I think it can't just be, you know, about the candidates.
[00:12:47]  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]  100%.
[00:12:55]  Congressman Gates, go check out the Firebrand podcast.
[00:12:59]  He's lighting it up, trying to compete a little bit with Pozo in the rankings.
[00:13:03]  But I think we're still holding out for now.
[00:13:06]  You got me pretty good.
[00:13:08]  Not only fired up there, fired up in Congress.
[00:13:10]  Congratulations to you, Rebecca Jones.
[00:13:12]  That's just going to be hilarious.
[00:13:13]  I can't wait to watch that.
[00:13:14]  She tried to sue human events back in the day.
[00:13:16]  We'll chat about that.
[00:13:17]  Thanks so much, Congressman.
[00:13:18]  Good luck to you on the rest of your week.
[00:13:21]  Oh, thanks so much, Pozo.
[00:13:23]  Appreciate it, man.
[00:13:26]  Uncle Tom 2 offers a compelling and brave analysis of the true story of Black America.
[00:13:32]  Uncle Tom 2 is the eye-opening documentary everyone in America should see.
[00:13:36]  The cultural shift from prosperity, integrity, and faith to the current perceived state of anger, discontent, and victimhood.
[00:13:42]  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]  Don't miss Uncle Tom 2 from executive producer Larry Elder and director Justin Malone with Brandon Tatum, Vodie Bockham, and Chad O. Jackson.

=== False Shootings and Salemnow (05:29) ===

[00:14:09]  Pre-order it today at SalemNow.com.

[00:14:16]  That's salemnow.com, salemnow.com.
[00:14:22]  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]  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]  And we have this up from the New York Post.
[00:15:04]  Marjorie Taylor Green says that she was swatted last night.
[00:15:08]  And she writes that last night I was swatted just after one in the morning.
[00:15:13]  She was swatted.
[00:15:14]  She can't express enough gratitude to my local law enforcement here in her hometown.
[00:15:19]  More details to come out.
[00:15:21]  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]  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]  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]  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]  That's the point of SWAT.
[00:16:09]  And this happened to Marjorie Jayla Green last night.
[00:16:12]  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]  And so I want to bring on, without further ado, bring on Congresswoman Marjorie Jayla Green to break down everything for us.
[00:16:38]  Congresswoman, first of all, are you okay?
[00:16:40]  Is the family okay?
[00:16:42]  How are you guys holding up?
[00:16:43]  Yes, I'm okay.
[00:16:46]  It was a scary situation last night, something I never expected and should not have happened.
[00:16:52]  This is basically political terrorism, Jack.
[00:16:55]  And you know what it feels like.
[00:16:56]  You've been a victim of it as well.
[00:16:58]  But I just want to say this.
[00:17:00]  There is no way I'm backing down.
[00:17:02]  I introduced very important legislation called the Protect Children's Innocent Act.
[00:17:07]  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]  And it's really interesting that this just happened only a week after I introduced this critical legislation.
[00:17:32]  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.
[00:17:43]  And then here it comes that my house gets swatted by some sort of youth trans activist.
[00:17:50]  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]  I will protect kids as far as I possibly can.
[00:18:01]  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,
[00:18:17]  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.
[00:18:33]  You know, we give out driver's license when you're 16.
[00:18:36]  You can't go to war until you're 18.
[00:18:39]  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]  And so I'm going to stand up and fight this all day all with everything I can, Jack.
[00:18:54]  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]  And I just want to add on, our police officers here in Rome, Georgia are amazing.
[00:19:08]  They are so amazing.
[00:19:09]  And so I'd love to talk more with you about that.
[00:19:12]  Well, I would.
[00:19:13]  And we can get it.
[00:19:14]  I also obviously want to get into the broader issues that you just brought up.
[00:19:18]  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]  She not only had a double mastectomy, but also had a hysterectomy.
[00:19:29]  So she can't have children now for the rest of her life over this.
[00:19:33]  But Congresswoman, if you could, and obviously I understand it's sensitive.
[00:19:36]  There's probably certain things you can't tell us about.

=== Gun Rights and Door Breaches (12:00) ===

[00:19:38]  What was it like from your perspective?
[00:19:41]  I mean, you're home, it's one o'clock in the morning.
[00:19:43]  Did this start with a knock on the door?
[00:19:45]  Was it a phone call?
[00:19:47]  Was it a pounding?
[00:19:48]  What actually happened last night from what you can tell us?
[00:19:52]  Yeah, and I'll be happy to go through detail by detail.
[00:19:54]  So I was sound asleep.
[00:19:57]  Of course, never expected anyone to be coming to my house at that time in the morning.
[00:20:02]  Heard some knocks on the door, heard my doorbell, saw some lights outside, heard people outside my windows in my yard.
[00:20:11]  And I jumped out of bed, threw my clothes on, and I picked up my gun.
[00:20:17]  That was my instinct because I'm a gun owner.
[00:20:20]  I'm a Second Amendment supporter, and I believe in defending myself.
[00:20:25]  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]  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]  So I put my gun down and I just went down the hallway and the house was still dark.
[00:20:46]  And I came around the corner and looked out the windows.
[00:20:49]  And I saw the police outside.
[00:20:52]  And they, you know, they had their guns.
[00:20:54]  They were ready because they had received a terrible phone call to the 911 center.
[00:21:01]  And so I walked up there and I saw them.
[00:21:03]  I was really startled.
[00:21:05]  And I didn't, I couldn't think like, why are they here?
[00:21:08]  You know, did something bad happen?
[00:21:10]  You know, that's, that was what I was thinking.
[00:21:12]  I thought maybe someone had been hurt or killed and they were coming to talk to me about it.
[00:21:18]  And I opened the door and the officer standing there, he said, ma'am, are you okay?
[00:21:25]  Is everything okay here?
[00:21:27]  But it was the body posture of the police that was really concerning me.
[00:21:32]  Like it had me even, I was upset.
[00:21:36]  I was afraid.
[00:21:36]  I was like, there's something terribly wrong.
[00:21:39]  And I said, yeah, I'm okay.
[00:21:41]  You know, I was sleeping.
[00:21:42]  You know, I'm like trying to understand what they're doing.
[00:21:46]  And he said, hold on, let me get my sergeant.
[00:21:49]  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]  And then they, you know, they were sending the police to supposedly go help.
[00:22:16]  But then they called back a second time and said, there's children in the home.
[00:22:20]  There's children in the home.
[00:22:22]  So with those phone calls, they were setting up a very serious, dangerous scenario in a home, right?
[00:22:30]  And police officers, when they get those kind of calls, they know what they're going into.
[00:22:36]  They have to be prepared for it.
[00:22:38]  They have to get there immediately.
[00:22:40]  This, you know, it sounds like they made it sound like there were children in danger at our house.
[00:22:46]  And so the police officers, they got here, they got to my house so fast.
[00:22:51]  But then I said, I was like, I said, no, this is all wrong.
[00:22:56]  I said, come inside.
[00:22:57]  I brought them inside.
[00:22:58]  I said, you know, they said, yeah, we realize what's happened is you've been swatted.
[00:23:03]  And they were upset, rightfully so and angry.
[00:23:07]  And I was very upset.
[00:23:09]  I could not believe someone would do that.
[00:23:11]  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]  And so whoever this person is, they deserve to be locked up.
[00:23:26]  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]  They think that potentially, but there's an active shooter in the house, someone who's just committed a murder.
[00:23:45]  What could have happened?
[00:23:46]  What could have happened if you had been holding your gun when you answered the door?
[00:23:50]  I don't know.
[00:23:51]  I mean, that's the danger.
[00:23:53]  And that's how people, that's how people accidentally get killed.
[00:23:58]  You know, if these police officers are great, though, Jack.
[00:24:01]  I just, I can't say enough great things about them.
[00:24:03]  They, they had their whereabouts.
[00:24:05]  You know, they were, they were calm.
[00:24:07]  They were in control, but they knew it was, they were very serious.
[00:24:11]  They were prepared to respond to the situation if the 911 call was true.
[00:24:16]  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]  If they saw me with a gun, they may have fired at me.
[00:24:31]  I would hope not, but that could, that's what has happened in the past with swatting.
[00:24:36]  That is why, that's why being swatted or swatting is so dangerous.
[00:24:41]  It's actually, it's like a death by cop.
[00:24:45]  It is a murder.
[00:24:47]  It's someone that is sending police to, in their hopes, kill the person that they're targeting.
[00:24:55]  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]  And it's an abuse.
[00:25:06]  It's an abuse of our police officers who are just trying to do their job.
[00:25:13]  And it is just incredibly scary and very dangerous.
[00:25:17]  And especially I am a sitting member of Congress.
[00:25:20]  And this happened to me at my house in the middle of the night, a sitting member of Congress.
[00:25:25]  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]  And it's about trans youth.
[00:25:36]  And so that tells you a lot right there.
[00:25:38]  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]  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]  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]  And thank God everyone's safe.
[00:26:05]  Thank God that you survived this.
[00:26:07]  This is very emotional, very graphic.
[00:26:10]  But people need to understand this is what time it is.
[00:26:14]  Charlie talks about that every single day when he's here.
[00:26:17]  And I know he'd be saying the same thing, that this is what we are up against.
[00:26:21]  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]  This is not a joke.
[00:26:30]  This isn't a harmless prank.
[00:26:32]  This is real life.
[00:26:33]  This is life and death.
[00:26:35]  So we're going to, you're not going to stop fighting.
[00:26:37]  And I am certainly not going to stop fighting because I think what happened to you is it's so horrific.
[00:26:42]  And we need to understand what time we're in.
[00:26:45]  Yeah, absolutely, Jack.
[00:26:46]  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]  And thank God that the police recognized it right away.
[00:26:56]  But Steve Bannon has been swatted.
[00:26:59]  Tim Poole has been swatted over and over again to the point where it's absurd.
[00:27:04]  And then look at our political, our weaponized Department of Justice with Merritt Garland sending the FBI to raid Mar-Lago.
[00:27:14]  I mean, that one is, people need to go to jail for that.
[00:27:17]  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]  He is completely abusing it and he's using it to persecute his political enemies.
[00:27:30]  But it is terrifying.
[00:27:32]  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]  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.
[00:28:10]  They're so angry at me over an issue that is beyond evil and absolutely repulsive and disgusting.
[00:28:19]  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]  That's what this guy wants to make continue to happen.
[00:28:36]  And he sees me as the biggest threat to stop it.
[00:28:39]  And, you know, it's political terrorism, Jack.
[00:28:42]  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]  They are not an American government.
[00:28:50]  They're not like anything we have ever known.
[00:28:53]  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]  And I have plenty of death threats.
[00:29:06]  Believe me, they're trying to kill me, period.
[00:29:09]  But that's where we are in this country.
[00:29:11]  And Jack, you know this and you always stand up for it.
[00:29:14]  We can't back down.
[00:29:15]  We cannot back down.
[00:29:16]  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]  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]  But then you're also saying that you support the local police.
[00:29:43]  You're very thankful for local police.
[00:29:45]  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]  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]  So on the last note there, you said that you wanted to have a message for the local police last night.
[00:30:07]  Oh, absolutely.
[00:30:09]  And I will tell them in person.
[00:30:11]  They are fantastic.
[00:30:12]  I support them in every way, shape, and form.
[00:30:16]  My local police are the greatest.
[00:30:18]  Many law enforcement agents on the ground, they are wonderful.
[00:30:21]  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]  They arrest the murderers.
[00:30:32]  They arrest the rapists.
[00:30:34]  These are the good guys.
[00:30:35]  They're the watchmen on the wall.
[00:30:37]  And they are the ones that we should support to the fullest extent in every way, shape, and form.
[00:30:43]  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]  But Jack, there's a major difference.
[00:30:51]  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]  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]  And that is the only way we can make true changes.
[00:31:16]  Thank you so much for joining us.
[00:31:17]  God bless to you.
[00:31:18]  God bless to your family.
[00:31:19]  We hope that you are safe and we will make sure to get this out to everybody.
[00:31:22]  Thank you and stay well.
[00:31:24]  Okay, bye-bye.
[00:31:26]  Thanks so much for listening.
[00:31:27]  I can't believe this is going on in our country, but you have to understand what time it is.
