MATT GAETZ TROLLS THE LADIES OF "THE VIEW"

thanks for having me you you have watch I do watch you guys make news every week every day we are the big political show when Joy said this is a political show I about fell out of my chair in laughter I was just wondering if you were wearing black as a consequence of like the death of the political left in the debate last night it was quite something to observe uh you know don't count the the Dead Yet the bodies let's give it a little time before we count well Joe Biden at least I mean I was hoping that maybe whoopie's Bell could wake up the Biden campaign if you hit it I thought he was actually he didn't do any harm to himself last night what state's he going to win I mean this is a man who the fundamental premise of the Biden campaign is that he's electable and he can't seem to win elections so now you have socialist Bernie Sanders against billionaire Michael Bloomberg yeah well the Republicans love a billionaire they love money so what are you talking about well Michael Bloomberg used to be a republican it's fascinating right nowat the Democratic party is likely not going to nominate a Democrat they're either going to nominate a socialist or someone who some time ago was Republican about none of them I don't think any of them are going to beat the president I think we have a raging economy right now the American family is seeing Revenue pour in as a consequence of higher wages more productivity more more business investment more Capital coming from overseas into our nation Donald Trump was a Democrat first he was he was we've all sort of been politically squar dancing for a while and I think that we're in a time of real political realignment in our let's talk about your boss for a second because yesterday well I don't my boss are the people of Northwest Florida yeah Okay so yesterday Trump dis miss him it's the highest concentration of active duty military in the country and I know Megan's dad served there so don't you canag me if you want but don't I'm asking you a question yesterday Trump announced he's appointing another loyalist of his Rick grenell as his acting Director of National Intelligence but grenell as you know has absolutely no intelligence experience and he's overseeing all 17 of our Intel agencies uh he stands between us and the next ISIS attack and you I don't know that it's a idea to put somebody who who's inexperienced like that and is also a Yes Man in that position he's he's going to have to tell Trump things that he's not going to want to hear you know how he doesn't like that Trump doesn't like that well actually if you look at the team he's assembled with people like John Bolton the president regularly surrounds himself with people who disagree with him I think some of the most spirited discussions I've had been with have been with Lindsey gram Rand Paul myself and the president discussing foreign policy but on Rick renell 50 years ago a a gay man or woman would not be able to serve in our intelligence Community there were teams of people went to find out if people were gay and they would well just we'll get into granel's qualifications but just for a moment I would like to take a second to reflect on the fact that it is a good thing in this country that we do not ban gay people from being able to patriotically serve in the intelligence Comm just transgendered people well we shouldn't be banning anybody based on who they are and who they love that's not the kind of Republican I am and it's not the kind of Republican the president is so on Rick's qualifications eight years at the UN two years uh in Germany he advised the security Council and Berlin where he was active is one of the hot beds of intelligence activity nothing happens there without the chief of station and the Ambassador working together so Rick renell is very qualified I think my Germany by the way I was reading about him they think he's very thin skinned but that's another story well I mean this is the view aren't we all I have another question for you no not to be fair to Matt his Troll game was 10 for 10 I you know what I you yeah it is just I I think we agree on this um the pre about pardon power now the president has been on a a pardon spree and many think he's about to Pardon Roger Stone his longtime friend and and onetime campaign advisor um who's being sentenced I think any minute now they're in a break for uh crimes of obstructing justice witness tampering lying to Congress do you think Trump should pardon Roger Stone I do and I think that it requ of the pardon power on come on Barack Obama pardoned over 1700 Megan McCain calling anyone the binton 49 Bill Clinton pardon 16 people who are member of a Puerto Rican terrorist organization that plann murders at the France Tavern here in the United States of America perhaps that wasn't the right when we when we designed our constitution there were vestiges of the British Monarchy that Americans still had some reverence for and one was the notion that the executive that The Sovereign could extend unlimited Grace for any reason no reason at all that was an element of Mis I love how Matt mentions the word sovereign while talking about the British Monarchy and they all short circuited simultaneously Bor no no I understand what I was getting at is can we agree that perhaps that pardon power needs to be reviewed and curbed so great question in federal of 74 Alexander Hamilton writes that the reason we have the pardon power is to serve as a check on a criminal justice system which if allowed to run wild could create a great sense of sanguinity in our country and so I think that if you look at the original intent of the pardon power it cannot be limited and again Trump has pardoned 26 people Obama pardoned over 1700 Bill Clinton pardoned 459 did you the answer to the question is what I would I would agree that Roger Stone should be pardoned if for no other reason that there's been a double standard in this country where people like Peter struck Lisa Page Andrew M can I can I just ask you how about Rob bovich who flee like a children's hospital was that a good part I I'll be honest with you I don't know very much about uh the governor of illino I'm not going to get into that one I I know Roger I don't know blogo and I'll leave that to others that Congressman I understand that um Republicans coming on The View this is a great culture War place to come and like show the leftists what's going on I get it my husband works in conservative media I'm a hardcore conservative the thing I don't understand because I'm I'm not a Trumper I think that everyone knows that very clear policy-wise he's been great on many things many things that are very important to me life military the economy but his character issues are still what holds me and so many especially I think conservative women back from going Full Throttle with him and I think you're going to have a problem specifically with college educated women coming in to the next election cycle what would you say to women like me who still hold back on the grab him in the blank attacking war heroes attacking the gold star families things like that an un an un well look if if cheating on your wife is a disqualification to be president then youall all probably should have imp impeached Bill Clinton and supported that well and but but not not with not with all of you waving any pom poms means to Megan's question I want to directly answer Megan's question Donald Trump has oh man Matt Gates they can't handle him they didn't see Matt Gates Coming Out Swinging blows this is the first time whoopy has nothing to say unique ability to get people who don't necessarily agree with him to vote for him and so I think for women we're going to have to make the argument particularly that 72% of the new jobs created in this economy have been filled by women that a lot of women are concerned about the revenue in their family and whether it's going to support careers and opportunity for themsel their their Partners their children and with 7 million new jobs being created people coming off of welfare America is in a sense of great renewable renewal we've got a comeback president running against the throwback left and the Venezuela wing of the democratic party taken over with Bernie Sanders oh come on the Venezuela go listen to Bernie Sanders he Praises Venezuela he Praises I don't want that for our great we want Gat gates gates gates gates just roasted four women at the same time and whoopy couldn't even come up with anything to say he's a beast h
