What’s the controversy behind Trump’s nomination of Matt Gates as Attorney General?
I'm having trouble.
What about Matt Gates?
Use the bottom. We have a confirmation process.
I don't know yet. I think about that one. Do you have any concerns about it? We'll see. We'll find out, won't we? Senator Kennedy, what do you think of Matt Gates as Attorney General?
Happy Thanksgiving.
Here's the thing. This is what you wanted. Do not be cowards and run away from the camera Republicans. Speak to the American people and own it. You wanted the drama, you wanted the chaos. Well, Donald Trump just said, bet Matt Gates, attorney general, and you run away and flee like cowards. By the way, this is what Senator Collins had to. Say in her usual, I am shocked, I am discouraged, I this is all very curious. Here's what Republican Senator Susan Collins had to say here. Watch this. Let's play the clip.
I was shocked that he has been nominated. If the nomination proceeds, I'm sure that there will be a an extensive background check by the FBI and uh public hearings and a lot of questions asked.
I was shocked and I was anguished and I was deeply disturbed by the fact that Matt Gates, someone who was under DOJ investigation for potential sex trafficking in the past, someone who was under an ethics investigation in the House for potential drug use, for uh conduct relating to minors.
How are Republican senators reacting to the Matt Gates nomination?
Now, Donald Trump uh nominates him to be the attorney general. Of the United States. Here's what a lot of Republicans are saying. They're baffled. They say they're baffled. Senator Ernst. He's got his work cut out for him. Murkowski, I don't think it's a serious nomination. Britt, I got nothing. I got nothing for you on that. Cornyn. I don't know the man. Never saw him. Don't know who he is. And then you have a lot of the staff members for these Republicans saying that, you know, we we think that our boss isn't going to uh support this. Well, one of the things that Donald Trump also has planned is something called a recess appointment where Donald Trump's going just to try to force down and jam uh people like.
like Matt Gates and oh by the way Tulsi Gabbard, someone who's believed to be compromised by Russia because she literally parrots Russian propaganda word for word. She is now the director of national intelligence. You have Christy Gnome from South Dakota, who killed her dog Cricket, to be the Homeland Security Director. You've got an author of Project 2025 to be the Border Czar, Tom Homan, who talked. Talks about bloody mass deportation exercises. You've got Marco Rubio, who has called Donald Trump a con artist of the highest degree to now be the Secretary of State. Oh, and for everybody who was talking about um, let's protest Vice President Kamala Harris because she's not doing enough in Gaza and the Middle East.
Well, guess what?
What did Senator Susan Collins say about the nomination and why does it matter?
Donald Trump just uh had Mike Huckabee become the ambassador to Israel. And Mike Huckabee doesn't even acknowledge the existence of the West Bank. He calls it Judean Samara and says that it should be annexed by Israel forthwith. So is this the chaos? Is this what you wanted? You want someone like Matt Gates who has called the FBI cockroaches to be the head of the Department of Justice, which the FBI is under. Here's Matt Gates calling the FBI cockroaches, just so you can hear it for yourself. Here, play this clip. And you know.
One thing you kind of notice is that you know feds are like cockroaches. You see one outside the walls, there's probably ten behind the walls that you don't see. And in this particular case, we deserve the truth. And here's
Matt Gates saying that if he were to become the attorney general, he would fire many, most people in the FBI. He would gut the FBI. Here, play this clip.
Maybe I should serve as Attorney General of the United States. I'd I'd be easy on marijuana and tough on big tech. Wouldn't that be a nice reversal? If necessary, I'd fire every little shit kicker at the J. Edgar Hoover building and send 'em all packin'. If you really want to drain the swamp, hire a Florida man. We've drained plenty of swamps in Florida, and we know how to finish the job. Just like the alligators and the Everglades, DC swamp creatures have spent seemingly millennia adapting to their surroundings.
