Representative Gates paid my client, both of my clients for sexual favors throughout the summer of 2017 all the way to the beginning of 2019.
And how did he pay them? Those were primarily through Venmo and PayPal payments. There was one payment through Representative Gates' adopted son through his PayPal. Nestor, the adopted son. Payments would come there too. Donald Trump's cabinet picks are crashing and burning. And we saw just in the past 12 hours or so, the nomination of Matt Gaetz is a massive dumpster fire. I mean, look, we...
We've heard now from the lawyer of many of these victims, frankly, you should call them children, who Matt Gaetz exploited. The lawyer's name is Joel Leppard. He was on CNN and spoke to other media as well about Matt Gaetz's predatory behavior. Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump nominated to be the attorney general, knowing he was under ethics investigation.
by the House of Representatives for engaging in underage sex, in other words, raping underage girls, and obstruction of justice, as well as significant drug abuse. All of that was known to Donald Trump, but he still nominated Matt Gaetz. And now we're hearing from the lawyer of some of these girls, who were girls at the time, and talking about how Matt Gaetz
flew them to New York so they could hang out around the Fox studios. Horrific. While Matt Gaetz was there so he could show off in front of them in 2017, 2018 time period. Also, we're learning that you heard it there in that first audio clip that we played that started this video that Nestor, purportedly the adopted son of Matt Gaetz, was being utilized by Matt Gaetz
to pay off the children who Gates was having sex with, is what's alleged, using Nestor
Nestor's Venmo, Nestor's phone was being utilized to coordinate and communicate with underage girls. Let me just play that clip one more time. Here it is. This is Joel Leppard, the lawyer. Here's the full clip, let's play it. - Representative Gates paid my client, both of my clients for sexual favors throughout the summer of 2017, all the way to the beginning of 2019.
- And how did he pay them? - Those were primarily through Venmo and PayPal payments. There was one payment through Representative Gates' adopted son through his PayPal. - Nestor, the adopted son. Payments would come there too. - Now, senators on Capitol Hill are reacting to this as well. This is Senator Kevin Cramer from North Dakota right here, who says that the Judiciary Committee
needs to see these ethics reports about matt gates that they need to hear it here play this clip you want to see it oh i i do but i'm more importantly i want the judiciary committee to be able to see it prior to the hearings and then after that depending on what happens then of course it could be released to the uh to the other members that are going to at some point have a vote so that's been my my main point is that you have to you know determine whether or not the cost of
Of getting them across the finish line is worth it, much less the possibility that he won't get across the finish line. CNN had a guest on and listen to this guest who talks about how he says that Madison Cawthorn, the MAGA Republican who was talking about how the other MAGAs would have like sex orgies.
who were working, who were part of the MAGA movement and other Republicans. Listen to what this guest has to say, play the clip. - All I'm gonna say is somebody owes Madison Cawthorn an apology 'cause y'all ran him out of town. He tried to tell y'all about these sex parties, but nobody wanted to believe him. And I'm not making a lot of this situation, but I remember when I heard the craziness coming from Madison Cawthorn, I was like, now that don't seem quite right. But then hearing it confirmed today, I'm like, he was right all along and nobody wanted to listen.
Are you looking for something simple and delicious to add to your wellness routine? Here's the thing. I used to put regular honey into a lot of my foods, breakfast, tea, protein, but then I was introduced to Manicora and Manicora puts that regular honey to shame. I love the flavor, richness, creaminess, and all the health benefits Manicora honey brings to the table. The best way to use Manicora is straight from the spoon first thing in the morning, letting the creamy texture melt in your mouth and coat your throat. Manicora honey is rich, creamy, and the most delicious honey you've ever had.
It's ethically produced by Manicor's master beekeepers in the remote forests of New Zealand. Manicor honey contains powerful nutrients to support immunity and gut health. The bees collect the nectar from the Manuka tea tree in New Zealand. The nectar is packed with bioactives, and the honey that is produced has three times more antioxidants and prebiotics than your average honey.
A special bacterial compound called MGO also comes from the nectar of the tea tree. Manicora third-party tests every single harvest for MGO and makes these results available through their QR system. It's a game changer, and all you need is one heaped teaspoon each morning to get the most out of the amazing bioactives in Manuka. Additional usage throughout the day is completely fine, especially helping to cut out other sweeteners. It's a honey

He was telling people about, he said people in his own party were holding these cocaine-fueled sex parties. Play this clip. It's about to get serious. Yes, I am. With Kevin Spacey.
I forget who else was in it. Anyway- Really well done show. Very well done show. Very well done show. But it was so dirty and it was about this congressman who was Kevin Spacey, who was, I think it was minority or majority whip. Yep. What was it? Yeah. Anyway, very, very powerful guy.
And it was just kind of like his secret life of all this corruption and power and money and perversion. And it was just dirty. How much, in your opinion, because you've been behind the veil, is this a fictitious show? Or is this more closer to like a documentary? Is it that bad? So I heard a former president that we had in the 90s was asked the question about this.
and he gave an answer that I thought was so true and he said, "The only thing that's not accurate in that show is that you could never get a piece of legislation about education passed that quickly." And everything else is good? Aside from that, I mean, the sexual perversion that goes on in Washington, I mean, being kind of a young guy in Washington, where the average age is probably 60 or 70,
And I look at all these people, a lot of them that I've looked up to through my life, always paid attention to politics, guys that, you know. Then all of a sudden you get invited to like, well, hey, we're going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes. You should come. And I'm like.
"What did you just ask me to come to?" And then you realize they're asking you to come to an orgy. Or the fact that there's some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country. And then you watch them do a key bump of cocaine right in front of you. And it's like, this is wild. And then there's also kind of the whole espionage aspect of what goes on in Washington. So many people trade in secrets and there's a currency to secrets.
It's wild. And then, you know, there's members of the media, the journalists who kind of will keep nasty stories about you or about other people on a shelf. And then if you're about to kind of speak out against something they don't want you to, they'll come out and say, well, we're about to drop the story of when, you know, 17 years ago, you did X, Y, and Z. And you don't want us to drop that story, do you? So we're going to bully you back into this position. And by the way, this is from April of 2022. This is Democratic Congress member Ted Lieu
He's talking about the behavior of these MAGA Republicans. Here, play this clip. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. President Joe Biden has done an awesome job creating jobs. He is a jobs president. Last year, 6.6 million jobs were created. In the last 14 months, working with congressional Democrats, 7.4 million jobs were created, the most in United States history.
Democrats are building a better America for the future and for the people. What are Republicans doing? I don't know. But last week, Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn bragged about being invited to cocaine-fueled sex orgies by senior Republicans. Don't believe me? Search for Madison Cawthorn Republican Caucus on the internet. I yield back.
Going back to that guest on CNN, let's play this clip. - You know, can Trump, what happens if he loses Gates? Does it leave a stink? - I don't think so. And I also don't think Gates doesn't get it because of a sex scandal. I think Gates specifically doesn't get this because he's an asshole to people and people in the Senate don't like him. And to Scott's point- - Zod had the same problem. - Wait, wait.
One of the other things that we are learning per ABC is that from some of these children who Matt Gaetz was flying around, when he flew them to Fox to watch his TV interviews with Fox hosts, he also took them to the play Pretty Woman about a businessman who falls in love with a prostitute. This reminds me, do you remember when...
Gates was on the Tucker Carlson show when Tucker was on Fox. Remember when Gates said this? Here, play this clip. Again, I only know what I've read in the New York Times. I can say that actually you and I went to dinner about two years ago. Your wife was there and I brought a friend of mine. You'll remember her. And she was actually threatened by the FBI, told that if she wouldn't cop to the fact that somehow
I was involved in some pay-for-play scheme that she could face trouble. And so I do believe that there are people at the Department of Justice who are trying to smear me. Providing for flights and hotel rooms for people that you're dating who are of legal age is not a crime. And I'm just troubled that the lack of any sort of legitimate investigation into me would then permute, would then convert
into this extortion attempt. - I don't remember the woman you're speaking of or the context at all, honestly, but I- - By the way, Anna Navarro puts it all in perspective. Here's what she had to say on CNN. Let's play the clip. - Remember, let me just say this. I remember, you and I are old enough to remember when Bill Clinton had two attorney general nominees, Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood, who were eliminated, who had to withdraw because they had employed illegal nannies.
Matt Gaetz is accused of sleeping with a girl who's almost young enough to need a nanny. And Republicans are saying there's nothing to see here. Here's some more of the reporting. This is by Roger Sullenberger. Matt Gaetz allegedly paid for sex through his adopted son Nestor's PayPal account. Gaetz, who sat on the House Judiciary Committee, introduced Nestor to the world on June 18, 2020. And apparently around that time, according to the lawyer for the women and...
as well as what's likely in this ethics report, using Nestor as a conduit to communicate with underage girls. Going back to Republican Senator Kramer here, here's what he has to say about recess appointments. Let's play this clip. If this nomination were to go down and he tried to install him via recess appointment, would that be okay with you? Well, I think it'd be very difficult to
I just think it'd be unwise to do that if he can't get the votes of the majority party, which is his party. So Donald Trump's cabinet pick here clearly blowing up in his face. But we knew we knew where this was going. This shouldn't come as a shock. This speaks, though, to Donald Trump's horrific judgment. No judgment at all. Bringing in Matt Gaetz to be attorney general.
What an embarrassment. What a shame. What a stain already. I mean, you have to evaluate Trump's conduct and go, isn't that proof he hates our country? To put Matt Gaetz as the attorney general tells me Donald Trump hates our country. I don't know how else you could look at it. It's clearly a gesture of someone who hates America to inflict Matt Gaetz upon us with all of this. Embarrassing.
