00:00Donald Trump's pick for to be his Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, is really going to be

00:05facing an uphill climb in this confirmation process because more and more allegations

00:10coming out, more details about really a story that was almost seven years old about the

00:17allegations that he was paying women for sex.

00:20But there's a new wrinkle.

00:21Yeah, we know that the House Ethics Committee has a report and there's a dogfight over whether

00:26that report should be released and it contains a lot of information allegedly about sex,

00:32drugs, no rock and roll.

00:35No rock and roll, but Broadway is involved.

00:40So the allegations against Matt Gaetz obviously mounting and Donald Trump, by the way, has

00:46remained absolutely 100% behind him.

00:49In fact, there's a report he's calling senators personally and asking them to make sure that

00:55they're going to vote asking is the way it's reported.

00:59But I think it's probably...

01:00We're going to get into this, this Broadway thing, because that's the interest.

01:03I just want to say, I'm not convinced Donald Trump is not using him as a sacrificial lamb

01:07to get other people confirmed.

01:10I'm not why I disagree with that.

01:12But let's get in here is what the attorney for the two women who say that they that this

01:18they were paid for sex back in 2017.

01:22Here's what their attorney told ABC News.

01:23At this house party, she was walking out to the pool area and she looked to her right

01:28and she saw Representative Gaetz having sex with her friend who was 17.

01:33They testified that they met up with Matt Gaetz in New York in January of 2019 for his

01:39appearance on Fox News.

01:42Met up with or traveled with?

01:43Do you know?

01:44So Mr. Gaetz paid them for the tickets to come to New York for the trip.

01:49He was there with another female individual already.

01:52And so the they went to Broadway shows and things like that and met him, went to the

01:56Fox News studio, I believe.

02:00And they went to Broadway shows while they're there.

02:02What show did they see?

02:03I'm just curious now.

02:04Pretty Woman.

02:05About a sex worker.

02:07I had not even thought about that.

02:09How dare she reduce Pretty Woman to just a sex worker?

02:13I mean, it's on the nose.

02:15I mean, ultimately, if it's true, if they are prostitutes, money for sex.

02:22And as he was describing it, it also reminded me very much of the Diddy case, because that's

02:27what he's paying someone to go across straight lines.

02:31Very much like that.

02:32Again, that's the allegation.

02:34But it's unbelievable when you think about it, if they're sitting in the audience watching

02:39the show.

02:40If you are Matt Gaetz and you have paid someone to come to New York with you and you know

02:46that they're there because they're going to have sex with you and you take them to see

02:49a play and you go see Pretty Woman.

02:51I'm not sure what it is you're trying to convey.

02:53It's like that Spider-Man meme, almost.

02:55Yes, it's like the Spider-Man meme, exactly.

02:58Yeah, Matt Gaetz doesn't have many friends at the Capitol, too.

03:04I mean, he is one of the, I don't care if Democrat or Republican, he is one of the more

03:09unpopular guys.

03:10So I don't know, even with Donald Trump trying to lobby and put pressure, whether or not

03:15Matt Gaetz can get confirmed with all of this conversation.

03:19Yeah, I know.

03:20It's just the buzz makes it difficult once the hearing starts.

03:25And I know what you're saying, we've been talking about this, that maybe he's the sacrificial

03:29lamb, right?

03:30And Trump offers him up.

03:31But then why is Donald Trump's leading advisor, I guess you would say at this point, Elon

03:37Musk, also putting it, I mean, here's what Elon Musk said about Matt Gaetz last night.

03:43He said, he has three critical assets needed for the AG role, a big brain, a spine of steel,

03:49and an axe to grind.

03:51He is the Judge Dredd.

03:53America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison.

03:58Gaetz will be our hammer of justice.

04:00Axe to grind is one of the scariest phrases I have heard in this whole thing.

04:04Look, I mean, the fact that Elon is so, I know, but I think now it makes me feel like

04:09Trump really does.

04:10No, no, no.

04:11But what I think is they need to make this look like, yeah, we want this guy confirmed.

04:16And if they say no to him, it's like, really, you're saying no to him?

04:20At least confirm all these other people, some of whom are really problematic as well.

04:26And it may be that this is his, it's sort of like a lost leader when you go into a store

04:30so you buy something else.

04:33It's the only thing I can think of.

04:34It might not be a strategy, Hart, but it might be an unintended consequence of it all, even

04:38if Trump didn't intend for that initially.

04:40I got to say, as a lawyer, if anybody is viewing an axe to grind as a qualification

04:49for that job-

04:50But Trump has said that that's what he wants.

04:52I'm just saying, if that's the qualification, I'm sorry, guys, again, politics aside, not

04:57talking politics, that is scary.

05:01Nisi from Florida here.

05:03I think Gaetz will absolutely get confirmed.

05:06I mean, there haven't been any actual charges filed against him.

05:11You do sort of have to wonder why, all of a sudden, this is coming back to the surface.

05:16Are we going to go ahead and sweep it under the rug, or are we opening the can of worms

05:20for some sort of smear campaign?

05:23A smear campaign against who?

05:25Trump.

05:28This is too diabolical.

05:29Yeah, I know.
