I know what's happening to gays. They interviewed a bunch of the women on gates. You know, that are all, like, 35, 40 years old now because this goes back 12, 13, 14, 15 years. There were women. They said, oh, that guy's so nice. Oh, yeah, I did date him. And yeah, you know, we, you know, I did have sex with him in a hotel room. [00:00:17] We took, you know, ecstasy. It was me and two other girls. It's really fun. He's a great guy. Oh, my God, Matt Gates when he was 25 years old. And they show the women, you know, on TV, they're like, super gorgeous. People are like, damn, Matt Gates is quite the stud. Alex Jones take away from allegations that Matt Gates slept with a minor was not the [00:00:37] gate is a criminal, but that he's a stud. If you're not familiar with this saga. Gates was investigated for sex trafficking allegations, including that he had a sexual relationship with a 17 year old girl in 2017. The Justice Department later decided not to bring charges against him last year, [00:00:54] but since he was announced as Trump's attorney general pick, more details have been revealed. On Thursday, the House Ethics Committee, which had been investigating Gates was told that a 17 year old girl had two sexual encounters with the then congressman at the party. [00:01:09] A girl, who was 19 at the time says she witnessed gates having sex with the 17 year old. So that's the guy who Alex Jones just called studly. He also mentioned how all of Matt Gaetz hot exes apparently think he's a great guy, and had nothing but glowing reviews for him. [00:01:24] Weird, though, because in 2022, gates former girlfriend testified before a grand jury investigating the congressman. ABC reporting back in February. Gates ex-girlfriend, who previously worked on Capitol Hill, allegedly has knowledge not only regarding the congressman, [00:01:39] but also the one time minor at the center of the sex trafficking investigation, eventually closed by the Department of Justice without charging gates. The ex was also one of the women who was allegedly on a 2018 trip to the Bahamas with gates and others, including the minor, which the House Ethics Committee was also investigating. [00:01:56] Sources said none of that matters, though, because Alex Jones reassured us that gates and he as well treat women with the utmost respect. - Take a look. - I treat women super nice. So does Trump. Women love me. [00:02:12] And so, I mean, I know what's happening to gates. I know what's happening to RFK Jr. It's bull crap. Yeah, Matt Gates is human. Okay, so now we know. So that's all we got, That's it. [00:02:28] Bad. We're really bad people. We like women. I mean, talk about particular framing to present things the way you'd like. Ironically, he has a dragon on his shirt. I don't know if you noticed. [00:02:44] I don't think he's part of the Dragon Squad, though. Okay, so here's who's not likely to be correct. Someone who says women love me, right? Let alone his sordid history. And then also, oh, Trump's great to women. Is he because he was found liable of sexual assault? [00:03:01] And he also said on tape I grabbed them by their genitalia whenever I felt like. And I don't even ask for permission. And when you're a celebrity, you can just get away with it. Well, if women like you so much, why don't they just give you permission? Why do you have to do it without their permission? [00:03:18] Perhaps that gives you some indication that they don't really love you. And guys for me. Matt Gaetz. All of his dalliances is not my issue. It's not my concern. Okay. The only concern I have is a 17 year old. So he likes to party. [00:03:34] Don't care. Okay. He likes, he went to orgies. I didn't know they still had them, but. Sure. Fine, I don't care. That's his business. Not my business. Right. He had three ways. Well, God bless his heart. It's not my business. It's his business. Okay? He did ecstasy and other drugs. Okay, I don't care. [00:03:52] He paid for sex. I know a lot of people care about that. And I know he. As attorney general, he would have been the top law enforcement officer. And that's the same argument they use to get Eliot Spitzer, who was attorney general and then the governor of New York. Eliot Spitzer was a great guy, was the sheriff of Wall Street, and [00:04:08] actually looked out for the average guy. Gates, I think, is the opposite. But either way, I'm consistent, I don't care. But you can't be Alex Jones telling us about all the groomers and the pedophiles, and then turn around when you have someone who actually slept with someone underage [00:04:24] and go, that's because he's a stud. Yeah. Okay, so we have a tape of him, of Alex Jones talking about all those things, and let's see if he calls other people that he's not in favor of studs in a similar situation. And just to be clear, before you roll this clip, we wanted to go [00:04:41] back into the archives to find this clip because obviously you said that a bunch, but we didn't have to do that. Just literally seconds after calling Matt Gaetz a stud for allegedly carrying out statutory rape. Seconds later, Jones said this. Sorry, we don't like kids. Sorry. [00:04:58] We're not pedo sorry. We're not having anal sex on top of the Senate conference hearing room. Sorry, we're not weird men with wigs on, talking on TV about how they want to chop your son's genitals off. Sorry we're not funding drag queen story time with convicted pedophiles showing up [00:05:15] at public schools unannounced, not telling parents with kids bouncing on, men dressed up like clowns. And in some of the photos and videos, the men have erections and the teacher comes and has the kid lay on them on the floor in a grooming. Yeah, yeah, that's all okay to put in public schools [00:05:32] for elementary and middle school students. Books about pedophilia with graphic novels. Sorry, sorry. I dated some women when I was getting divorced. Oh my gosh. [00:05:49] - Just moments later. - Yeah. Look, he doesn't stand for all Republicans. But if you like Alex Jones and you think it makes sense to blame gay people and drag queens, etc. Without any evidence or whatever nonsense thing that he calls evidence of being pedophiles. [00:06:06] And all of them, not just some of them, but when you have an actual pedophile to say, oh no, he's just a stud. As long as he's straight and he's one of us, then he can go after your kids all he likes. You should hate gay people for being gay, but you should love Matt Gaetz when he actually has sex with children. [00:06:23] Mike, I don't have much to say about Alex Jones, but you said it all. Yeah, so but like but it's amazingly people still listen to this unhinged guy. Amazingly, he still has influence in right wing circles. But I mean, that is blatant hypocrisy. [00:06:39] So if you say, okay, I if you're in the Michael Schur camp, you're like, I don't have much to say about Alex Jones and I don't I'm super uncomfortable with Matt Gaetz potentially being with a 17 year old, then great, no problem. But if you're if you believe Alex Jones and you think, yeah, when a straight [00:06:55] white guy does it, it's awesome. And if a gay person does it or maybe doesn't even do it, but I hate him for who he is, I'm going to call him a pedophile either way. Okay? I mean, you're telling on yourself. And it's just, again, this false equivalency because everybody on the left [00:07:16] would disavow if these clips even exist. I've never seen them. If there's a drag queen with an erection with children bouncing on top of them. 100% of people on the left are going to disavow that. But then when there's bad behavior by people on the right, [00:07:34] they don't disavow it. They make excuses and then just divert the conversation to this fictional thing that happened on the left. Or if it did happen, a thing that nobody endorses, and pretend that they do endorse it. It's just such a ridiculous thing. Drag queen Story Hour hasn't harmed anybody. [00:07:50] I personally don't think it's necessary that, like, they have these stickers that give out the drag queen story hours. They give every child that says future drag queen. I think that's unnecessary to do. I think you can expose people to ideas without having them say, I'm going to be exactly this when I grow up, because drag queens historically [00:08:07] are a sexualized performer. But if that's not what they are doing in front of children, you can't compare it to actual statutory rape, to actual sex with a minor. It's just completely incomparable and doesn't make sense. - Yeah. - And look, last thing on this. [00:08:23] I disagree with the sticker too. I mean, you don't know. It's That's crazy to say. They're going to grow up to be a drag queen. They could grow up to be whatever the hell they like because it's called America. But so but the couple of examples he gave, so one is the outrageous thing that's actually real. It's what's most outrageous is that Alex Jones said something that's true. [00:08:40] But they had, if you remember, a couple of months ago, they these guys got caught having sex in some sort of Senate conference room. Right. And I think that they kind of had it in a private, online group and it got leaked or something. And, and it was a gay couple. [00:08:57] So everybody was grossed out because they're having sex in a public area. Then the senators go and sit there and sometimes the public might sit there, etc. But you can be you'd be grossed out in whether they're gay or straight. It didn't involve kids at all. At all. [00:09:12] But although again, Alex Jones being the massive hypocrite that he is, if Matt Gaetz had done the same exact thing, he would have been like, oh. What a stud. Of course. Ha ha. Yeah. Take that senators. Oh, we'll have sex right in your chair. Ha ha. Oh, gay guy did it. I hate him, I hate him. [00:09:28] Well, okay, again, you're telling on yourself. It has that one has nothing to do with kids. And then the other one, if you notice. I mean, I don't want to go on belabor it. It's so obvious. But he said, oh, a guy dressed with a wig. So now that's the same thing as a pedophile. A guy who puts on a wig. [00:09:44] Like, there goes all those rockers and stuff. There goes all the your half your base with the toupees, right? - Like you never. - You never know what's under a wig. There could be condoms under there, lube packages. So a guy with a wig. Totally unacceptable. [00:10:00] But Matt Gaetz sleeping with a minor, perfectly acceptable. Fine. Yeah. Okay, well, then you have it right there. Hypocrisy defined.
