6:32Now PlayingBetween the new revelations about Republican Representative Matt Gaetz's Venmo account and the ominous warning from the lawyer of an accused trafficker, Gaetz has to be soiling himself right now. The honorable thing to do would be to resign, but Gaetz has far too much pride for that. Because of this, more revelations will come to light and his reputation will be permanently damaged. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

This whole Matt Gaetz drama that's been going on, you know, the accusations that have been leveled against him, him being a subject of this DOJ investigation. Obviously the man has not been charged with anything yet. Of course, as of me sitting here talking, he has not been charged with anything yet, uh, that could easily change in the coming days, possibly the coming weeks. But I think it's going to happen sooner rather than later, because let's not forget this whole scandal broke 12 days ago, technically 11 and a half days ago. So this whole scandals involving Matt Gaetz and all the new revelations that continue to come I'm out, isn't even two weeks old yet. I mean, that's how much we have learned in just 12 days and the big revelations, obviously at the end of this week, where that, uh, he VIN mode, Joel Greenberg, $900, put a little note in there that made it pretty clear.
He was paying for a woman. And then Joel Greenberg used that money to pay a couple of women, three women to be exact. So that's kind of the smoking gun here. We also have the trip to The Bahamas. We have all of the other information of him paying women for sexual activity again, because he used Apple pay and Venmo. And, uh, he left his Venmo on public. So, so literally anybody with access could see it, uh, not exactly the brightest, uh, potential criminal out there, but you know, Matt Gaetz is used to a life of no consequences. So this is basically what we could expect from the guy. I mean, daddy bailed him out of trouble throughout his entire youth up to his twenties. And so this is a guy who never had to actually face consequences. Okay. This is a guy who got to do whatever the hell he wanted.
Whenever the hell he wanted to, his family had plenty of money. His daddy had a lot of power it's affluenza is what it is. And because of that, because this condition was never treated with punishment. Uh, the dude kind of went out of control. And to me personally, I see no path out for him. I do truly believe that Matt Gates, this finished guy is toast, especially with all these new allegations. And of course, let's not forget the little press conference that took place on Thursday. When Joel Greenberg's attorney went out there and basically said that Gates should be crapping his pants right now. Okay. That's a pretty startling thing for an attorney to admit like, Hey, my client is considering cooperating with the feds. And so this guy should be soiling himself. Yeah. That doesn't pay good picture for Matt Gaetz. Cause I promise you that lawyer knows that lawyer knows whether Matt Gates involved that lawyer knows what, uh, evidence the feds have.
He knows what evidence Greenberg has to implicate other individuals as they try to strike this plea deal. The deadline for that by the way is May 15th. So it could be a bit before this plea deal is worked out. But in the meantime, Matt Gaetz, isn't looking so hot. I mean, you even have a group, that's put a billboard up in Crestview, Florida, which is a part of Gaetz district down here, not far from where I'm sitting, uh, that says Matt Gates wants to date your daughter and Crestview in terms of the areas around here in, in Gates has district, not exactly a bustling, you know, metropolitan area, it's more of a rural community. It's a quiet community. So why put it there? Why put it in Crestview? Well, the answer is simple. You don't have a lot of big business over in Crestview. Most of that is in the Pensacola area or the Destin area, um, values voters.
Those are the values voters, the people who look at stories like this and get absolutely repulsed because they couldn't believe they supported a guy like this. That was a very strategic move. And to be honest, as somebody who lives in this area have been at Crestview countless times, uh, that was a smart move. That was a smart decision to put that billboard there. So that is what it is. Gates is in a heap of trouble.
