Very bad news for Matt Gaetz, which means very good news for the United States of America. The Matt Gaetz ethics report into his child sex trafficking allegations, obstruction of justice, and other misconduct will be released.
That's right.
A secret meeting was held with the bipartisan ethics committee earlier
this month, according to a new report by CNN. We're also reporting it on MidasNews.com. And in
this secret meeting, there was a vote to release this report. This means that the ethics committee
changed course from what it had decided last month when Matt Gaetz was first
nominated and he resigned from the House of Representatives. You'll recall in a party line
vote, it was split evenly and the deadlock means that the release of the report, the ethics report
into Matt Gaetz would be blocked. The ethics committee decided not to release it then. Now,
there was a secret meeting
held sometime earlier this month. This means that Republicans joined forces with Democrats on that
specific committee, on that ethics committee, and agreed to release the report. No doubt,
former Speaker Kevin McCarthy probably had a hand in that, convincing people over the past few weeks that that report needed to be released.
And you'll recall that Kevin McCarthy basically has vowed to make his life's mission to destroy
Matt Gaetz. A reminder that this report, this ethics report, contains credible allegations,
and again, allegations, into Matt Gaetz's child sex trafficking,
Matt Gaetz using his position of power also to engage with prostitutes in other acts as well.
There is an entire web of a sex trafficking ring that a Gaetz accomplice, Joel Greenberg, who was a tax assessor in Florida, pled guilty to and said
that he was willing to testify against Gates. You take a look at this web right here. This is
something that's going to be in that report once it gets released. You see it right here.
What you're seeing right there is the web of the sex trafficking cartel that has been alleged against Greenberg.
And the association has been alleged by Matt Gaetz being involved in that.
It should be noted Gaetz denies the allegations, but we will see that report soon.
Also from the report, we will see, and this part of it has been leaked,
the Venmo payments that were made by
matt gates as part of this uh trafficking allegations um you see here these payments
that were made and it says things like he's paying the girls for joy for cartridges for love you for
refreshment just because for being awesome for for being here, for being my friend. Pretty despicable
stuff. But the Republicans were covering this all up until now, at least with the Ethics Committee
agreeing to release it. It doesn't mean that we've now seen it's now been revealed that they've been
exposed. The Republicans in the House of Representatives
voting to block the release of the report before.
You'll recall when a Democratic Congress member addressed the House floor and put up a vote
before the entire House of Representatives to release the Gates Ethics Report, the House
Republicans blocked its release, which looked
into criminal allegations, including sex with a minor. You see right here, Republicans blocked it
206 and the Democrats who wanted it released 197 wanting it released. So all of those Republicans,
just think about it now.
And I think that Democrats should be loud about this. If you supported blocking this report before,
and again, I'm not talking about the people in the Ethics Committee, which is a smaller group of people, all these other Republicans who are out there defending Matt Gaetz means you were
defending child sex trafficking allegations. You should say the MAGA Republican Party is the party of child sex trafficking allegations
and that they support it.
They endorse it.
Just say it loud and say it over and over again.
Don't believe me?
When Donald Trump appointed Matt Gaetz to be attorney general, here, for example, is
Senator Kevin Cramer indicating that he's not particularly bothered
by the credible allegations against Matt Gaetz. Play this clip.
You do already see people speaking out. An attorney for two women who say Gaetz paid them
for sex also said they provided the committee with numerous photos of time they spent with
Gaetz. One woman testified that she witnessed having sex with a minor.
Again, without the report,
just does that information give you pause?
Well, it would, Dana,
if the FBI hadn't dropped the investigation,
which tells me something about
either the credibility of the testimony
or not enough.
For some reason, the FBI looked into all this and decided not to move forward.
That said, whether they release the report or not, it will certainly be reported.
If not released, it'll be repeated by the Senate Judiciary Committee
because all those same witnesses, to your point, that are coming out publicly
and many more and much more evidence will be just as available to Senate Judiciary investigators and of course they have subpoena power remember while all of these credible
allegations were known there's JD Vance creepy JD Vance along with Marco Rubio they were bringing
Matt Gates uh Senator to Senator and just just defending the conduct is cool it's cool according to jd vance and marco
rubio you see matt gates there as they were walking the halls of congress and then they
would send people to do cnn interviews like this is anna paulina luna and she's like i find it very
interesting uh that these allegations are coming out right now very peculiar timing these allegations
were always known about matt gates but this is what an what Anna Paulina Luna said. Here, play this clip.
To furthermore, I find it interesting that these actual allegations come out at peculiar timing
while he's being nominated to be the attorney general. To be clear, I do think Matt Gaetz is
going to be an incredible attorney general. I think this baseless smear campaign, frankly, is abhorrent that it's happening to someone like Matt Gaetz,
who's done so much to fight the government corruption.
Here was MAGA Republican Representative Ralph Norman,
who said that Gaetz was a brilliant legal mind and a risk taker.
That's how he referred to the allegations. Play this clip.
As you know, Gaetz is Trump's pick for attorney general. He was the subject of an ethics committee
investigation over whether he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
The committee was supposed to vote on whether to release that report on Gates today. But now
that Gates has resigned from Congress, the report has been scrapped. What are your thoughts on Matt
Gates? Can he actually get confirmed or is it not?
He's not getting confirmed and everybody knows that.
Look, Matt Gaetz is a brilliant legal mind. Matt Gaetz will he will be the left winging socialist's worst enemy when he I think he will get confirmed.
Matt can handle himself. He has nothing to hide. The DOJ dismissed all the charges.
The political witch hunt, and Matt knows this, the political witch hunt on the ethics reports
had been done by House members, and we know who pushed that against him.
He pushed back.
DOJ dismissed it.
But he has nothing to hide.
Matt Gaetz is a tremendous pick.
You can trust what he does, and he's a risk taker, which is good and is what's needed in that position.
Okay. That's good to hear from you because I know some of your colleagues don't feel
that way. I've been trying to lose some weight lately
and get a little healthier and I'll tell you what's been a key for me. It's called Prolon
and a lot of our viewers say it's changed their life so forget everything you
know about fasting i want to tell you about prolon by l-nutra it's the only patented fasting mimicking
diet that combines the benefits of prolonged fasting with science-backed nutrition plans so
you can hit your health and weight loss goals without actually having to give up all the food
so introducing prolon is a revolutionary plant-based program. It nourishes the body while making cells believe they're fasting.
Research and developed for decades at the University of Southern California
Longevity Institute. By the way, I teach at USC Law. It's backed by leading US medical centers.
Prolon helps promote healthy blood sugar, supports cardiovascular health, and it reduces abdominal fat.
But Prolon isn't a diet. Prolon is a science.
Science based on Nobel Prize winning discoveries in medicine.
It all starts with Prolon's five-day program.
Snacks, soups, and beverages, they're all designed to keep your body in a fasting state.
Unlike anything you've ever experienced.
I did the five-day program. I feel so much better.
I feel more energy. And the thing is, it's not a diet, it's a science. And it was convenient.
They sent me everything I needed all in one box. I followed the directions. It was great.
No wonder thousands of doctors are now recommending Prolon to support healthy blood sugar
and cardiovascular health. So right now, Prolon is offering the Midas Touch podcast listeners 15% off their five-day nutrition program. So go to ProlonLife.com slash Midas, M-E-I-D-A-S,

The Prolon, that's ProlonLife.com slash Midas. Check it out. Now, as we know, this report's going
to be released. Perhaps the most cowardly at all, if that's even possible, is Oklahoma Senator Mark
Wayne Mullen. Now, Mark Wayne Mullen went on CNN and he was asked by Jake Tapper if he was going
to vote for Matt Gaetz. And Mark Wayne Mullen, the Republican senator from Oklahoma,
said, whatever Trumpy says, whatever daddy tells me to do, here, play this clip.
Are you going to vote for Matt Gaetz? You know, Matt Gaetz and I, there's no question that we've
had our differences. They've been very public about it. I completely trust President Trump's
decision making on this one. But at the same time, he's got to come to Congress and sell himself.
There's a lot of there are to the Senate and sell himself. There's a lot of questions that
are going to be out there. He's got to answer those questions. And hopefully he's able to
answer the questions right. And if he can, then we'll we'll go through the confirmation process.
Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from the great state of Oklahoma. Good to see you, sir. Thanks so much
for being here. I really appreciate it. Coming up next, the reaction at the Justice Department when they-
And why I think that he's the most cowardly is he's a witness to what Gates did.
He's literally a witness to some of the stuff that Gates would do on the House floor.
So this was Mark Wayne Mullen, just so you could see for yourself,
like nine months ago, a year ago, here playing this clip.
You gotta think about this guy.
This is a guy that didn't have,
that the media didn't give a time of day
to after he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl.
And there's a reason why no one
in the conference came and defended him
because we had all seen the videos
he was showing on the house floor
that all of us had walked away
of the girls that he had slept with.
He'd brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could
go all night. This is obviously before he got married. And so when that accusation came out,
no one defended him and then no one on the media would give him a time of the day.
All of a sudden he found fame because he opposed the Speaker of the House back in November.
And he's always stayed there.
And he was never going to leave until he got this last moment of fame by going after a motion to vacate.
So yes, the ethics report's going to be released. Matt Gaetz is in big trouble.
We're going to get to see all of the details.
And as I've said this before with Harry Littman, I said, look, I'm not interested in seeing people's private sex lives.
I don't care about that.
That's not what this is about.
This is about child sex trafficking allegations and allegations of unlawful conduct while in a political office.
OK, that's why the public deserves to see it, because he was a public official doing this with the trappings of his public office.
And we pay for their salaries. So when you're going about doing that, and then there's allegations of
child sex trafficking, yeah, I think we should know if there's a predator on the loose. I know
Republicans are okay with predators on the loose. They're predators. I know that. They're okay with
it. But I think we should know about that, don't you think?
