Congressman Matt Gaetz has big plans for his future, but an ongoing DOJ investigation might end those dreams this summer. Joining me to talk about this is Farron Cousins from the trial lawyer magazine. Eddie Munster's back in the news almost every day, but this is crazy headlines. He wants to run for president and he's doing it so he can help Trump during the debates. He says he can be the attack dog and he can take the heat off of Trump if Trump decides to run. Wow. What, what is your take?

You know, I'm still kind of shocked that Gaetz is going around publicly and of course, right now he's on his little cross-country tour with Marjorie Taylor Greene, acting like his life is not totally falling apart behind the scenes. But, you know, this comment he made last week that, yeah, I, I'm considering running, running for president in 2024. I can handle what's left of Biden, was what he specifically said. And this guy doesn't think that anything is going to touch him. And I don't know if it's because he's putting on a brave public face or if he legitimately believes that he is not in any danger whatsoever, because he's never really been in trouble. Daddy's gotten him out of everything in his past.

Yeah.

And so he may be, you know, suffering from delusions that it can't happen.

Okay. You and I have done a story on the past, in the past on the idea that this is the new thing, right?

Yeah.

A politician, no matter what they do, I'm not going to resign. You know, they're being told by leadership, don't resign. I mean, it proved true with Trump, right? He ran for president. Proved true with Bill Clinton. I mean, you know, they had him for perjury. Don't resign, life as usual. It's almost like the last person to resign was Richard Nixon. But, so this is the course they're taking and he, it's the Gaetz Greene team. Tell me about Marjorie Greene, how she fits into all this.

She is one of the few people who's willing to say that I still stand with Matt Gaetz. And of course it's because they both are just devoted disciples to Donald Trump. So they're on their little tour right now, trying to claim the election was stolen, trying to really rally the Trump base because that's also the Gaetz and the Greene base. That's what they need to continue their political career. So if Matt Gaetz does want to run for president, he's going to need those people that are showing up at his rallies now to show up for him at the polls. But like you mentioned, Gaetz doesn't necessarily want to run for president because he thinks he'll win. He is basically the Trojan horse candidate. There's lots of whispers that Ron DeSantis, Florida's governor, might want to run. And in order to keep DeSantis' hands clean, to not make any Republicans mad, you send Gaetz out there on the debate stage to hurt everybody else. And you say, can't we just get along and be nice.

Gaetz is the attack dog.

Yeah, he is.

Of course, with DeSantis, I mean, DeSantis has got to understand the guy's radioactive.

Right.

You don't want his name around. Tell, just take a minute on the Marjorie Greene. What, what, what are the hits on her? What, why, what are the problems there? How does she fit in so well with Gaetz?

I was going to say, it depends on the day of the week with her, because she's got a new scandal more frequently than this guy. The most recent one, obviously, where she said that wearing a mask is akin to what happened during the Holocaust.
