This is, well, too full of smiles to adequately describe. Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz delivered a resoundingly honest speech to the Republican attendees at the Florida Freedom Summit on Saturday. It is well worth the time to watch, as prompted.
Look, I’m still on the fence with this guy, but his brutal confrontation of the GOPe is some of the funniest and best components of the BIG UGLY so far. The guy has been put through the wringer, hit from every angle, ridiculed by both the left and right, and yet he’s standing there snarking brutal one-liners in their faces while sipping their tears.
It’s so much fun to watch him go full wolverine, and yet so brutal in its abject honesty; quite frankly, it makes him very easy to like. WATCH:
I mean, seriously. Think about it. He took down the Speaker of the House…. 😂
He’s a rebel with a cause. Give em’ hell kid!

This man makes me proud to be American.
That was a stemwinder!
Yup! He’s a ring-tailed tooter!
I’m old enough to know what you mean. LOL
Let’s see what he can do. Right now the brochures look good.
One day this man will be President of the USA. What a great motivational speaker he is. Gave me goosebumps listening to him.
“The first bill that I’m going to bring to this floor, in just a little while, will be in support of our dear friend Israel,” – Speaker Mike Johnson
We are literally being invaded through our southern border and this is what the new speaker prioritizes. Gaetz ought to temper his enthusiasm for Johnson until he has proven himself.
So Gaetz should have kept his mouth shut and let the creep from cantafordya keep flucking up America?
That’s the RINO way.
Speaker Johnson has already “proven himself” to be a 100% improvement over the late and not so great “Speaker” Kevin McCarthy …
While I agree the US border invasion is a HUGE priority, it has been going on for decades whereas the need for help for Israel is in the here-and-now category.
Why would you put another country’s interest above your own? I don’t think people understand the demographic destruction that is happening in the USA Its a given that all of our children and grandchildren will suffer from what is accelerating at the border.
The destruction of the USA is on display in DC yesterday….those flag wavers were not all amerikans.
and yet… none of them are in the D.C. gulag…
Perhaps view DC as our WW2 Berlin.
Israel’s enemies are our enemies also. And unfortunately, a multitude are now in our country thanks to the uni-party, RINOs included. They are indoctrinated religious psychopaths befitting a terrorist’s mindset, violent and waiting for a call to action. Wherever they are they need to be stomped out and eradicated. Right now Israel is poised to destroy ground zero, Gaza, but the collective uni-party/globalists (Biden et al) are doing everything to prevent the destruction of their paid agents whose purpose to is destroy resistance to the uni-party/globalist agenda. Note, there are more than enough funds available to resolve both linked problems if liberal budgeting priorities related to strictly partisan causes/agendas were eliminated.
Genesis 12:1-3
Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves.
Blessing Israel is acquiring blessing from God, without which no other efforts will matter. Very wise decision on the new Speaker’s part.
The future of Israel & the future of America are one & the same. Israel is the front line of the fight for western civilization.
Then hopefully Israel will not choose to suicide like Ukraine did.
Hopefully, instead, Israel’s leaders will heed PDJTs many warnings.
Perhaps PDJT will send them a music vid clip of the Supremes iconic song “Stop in the Name of Love” and the line “before you break my heart, think it over”.
Well, I think both issues are a concern for all Americans. Israel and it’s enemies have been at it for decades.
The border was getting under control until the Biden/Obama cabal decided that the fastest way to destroy our nation was to import foreigners of all kind, and I mean all kind to mingle throughout what is left of the United States of America and take us down from within. Many do not know that the UN has been working overtime for over two decades to destroy our Constitution and destroy our freedoms. The want all Americans living under the control of any type of government except for what we have. WAKE UP!
I’m sure you meant well, but if you don’t understand illegal immigration as opposed to legal immigration and what it means for our country, I’m sure there are still somebody somewhere who can explain it to you better than I can.
You can’t be serious…..In just the few days that Johnson has been the Speaker, he has proven to be a VAST inprovement over the last 3 Republican Speakers we’ve had before him, and you want to take a shot at him from the sidelines? PLEASE….
Speaker Johnson has already laid out plans for the border.
“I will bless those that bless you. And I will curse the one that curses you. And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3
Mike Johnson really does have the Biblical World view. So refreshing!
Was there another bill ready to bring to the floor?
Last I heard they have passed 5 out of 12 required spending bills representing 80% of the moolah. The remaining 7 cover the difficult parts.
Another example of sundance’s 80/20 rule, by the way.
I spent 30+ years in purchasing, inventory, warehousing, etc. The 80/20 rule is widely followed in those arenas. I learned the rule works for most things in life as well, i.e. if 80% of the decisions you make in a day are correct, you should be comfortable with your day. Never expect or demand 100% (perfection). You will never achieve that. Go with 80% and move forward.
I have never heard that rule until today…however the people that work with me I request them to make decisions without calling or texting me. My template is, if you have 10 decisions to make and 8 are right, you have an 80 percent success rate. I’m fine with that.
Always keep in mind – As goes Israel, so goes the USA. For example, Israel was invaded from the southern border, the USA is being invaded from the Southern border. Keep your eyes open, and you will see other parallels between the two countries. Some on the same timeline.
This from Caroline Glick shows Israel’s parallel battle with the Leftist in their government. They were the cause of the slaughter!

(I watch at 1.5 playback speed to shorten view time.)
None of those who are critical of Mike Johnson on this matter are familiar with the inner working off Congress and no one seems to have troubled to ask him to explain why he addressed this first and not the US southern border crisis. Until such time it would be wise to hold back on negative comments which may actually border on slander. Those who do so are playing into the hands of the mainstream media who rush out front page reports only to later admit they were completely wrong and at best print a small correction on page 8 or 10 or 12.
Johnson not in the spotlight nor does he want to be like McCarthy. Has done nothing yet, let’s see how he unfolds. Did not get all the RINO vote ( which is 95% of the House) because he is MAGA person??? Do not get your hopes up ?
He has also “raised” massive amounts of money in a short time.
I ask exactly what did he sell?
Johnson, when are you going to release the J6 tapes?
At least Johnson correctly said friend and not “Greatest Ally”. We have never been allied with Israel as Ron Paul pointed out many times.
I don’t mind assistance for Israel. But! How about we do it with loans. Israel is not a poor nation.
There are easily enough dual citizen billionaires all over the world to fund Israel. When looked at from that perspective all assistance to Israel from the American taxpayers is unnecessary and a grift.
Genesis 12:1-3
Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves.
Blessing Israel is acquiring blessing from God, without which no other efforts will matter. Very wise decision on the new Speaker’s part.
It was a resolution.
What specific portion of that “sympathy card” resolution do you object to?
Also where did you go to read the resolution?
Fwiw getting a group that’s divided to come together over something quick and easily, like this “sympathyy card” for Israel resolution is VERY savvy.
Upset the new Republican SOTH didn’t ignore or disdain?
Perhaps join Team Rashida?
Or, better yet, become more Realpolitik savvy.
Become a Real World helpful DOER rather than being a Screen World VIEWER who complains about real people who are now in the crosshairs of the worlds most powerful and vicious psychopaths.
WE NEED MORE LIKE HIM IN DC
HONEST AND NOT AFRAID
AMEN! I’m convinced my Congress critter is: mindless, ball-less, and spineless. He has been there forever and has done NOTHING beyond drawing a paycheck and writing me pointless form letters full of platitudes each time I write/call his office. Oh, wait, he doesn’t write them…he has one of his eunuch staffers do it. IMO, he is the personification of the old saying: As worthless as the teats on a boar hog!
I’m watching Gaetz closely to see if he’s a deception but so far, very good. At least we can tell he’s there.
Better yet, worthless as two dead flies.
I’m with you. On the fence, but he’s been marvelous lately. Entertaining too. He’s right for the moment.
BRAVO! Keeping speaking out! We need you!
Thanks be to GOD.
I loved it.
Comity is overrated when those you work with are corrupt congressmen who don’t have the same values you hold dear.
Gaetz is demonstrating to others that to win you need to stand up to bullies. I hope many others in Congress join him.
MAGA !
I remember when I detested and distrusted Donald Trump. I had to watch and listen and more importantly observe the actions. That speech will earn Gaetz no political friends. He burned his bridges. He delivered what no one thought possible.
He has stepped up and wears the target on his back. I will pray for his courage and bravery to hold. The weapons formed against him with be straight from hell.
Stuff your cynicism. He.saw a precarious way forward that NO ONE else even dreamed. He pushed and never stopped. HE DELIVERED. If he does this one great thing he deserves our grateful hearts. We will all be tested in the future, but not like this man will be. I will never forget this victory and this young man has my deepest thanks.
Gaetz withstood all the slings and arrows against him. Came through.
He deserves his say and I believe he just had it.
I pray this is the pendulum reversing course.
Matt Gaetz also withstood an elaborate honey trap with underage girls set up by the usual crowd (The Epstein tribe).
His father is a well connected successful business man with past political experience (and possibly more in the future).
Not many politicians make it through the blackmail traps according to Assange. That fact alone makes Matt Gaetz an impressive and formidable member of the MAGA team.
I don’t care about “Rhino”. I care about them being compromised or corrupt (dependent on political position to make money).
Gaetz seems to be free of both.
I remember when I detested and distrusted Donald Trump.
Would you please explain why?
Might help when dealing with those who still detest and distrust Donald Trump.
Thank you.
Sure. I found him to be a braggy, vulgar guy who might be in it for his own gain. I got a true patriot who loves this country as much as I do and has SUFFERED to fight for our freedom. I wasn’t looking for a punching disruptor. Discovered he is a master at getting people to eat their own excrement and reveal themselves in stunning clarity. He is winning the hearts of a nation and inspiring the world. I don’t expect this will all end rosy, but for such a time as this, he makes me want to pick up my spear and run towards the battle. I’m 71. Don’t get your hopes up.
I’m 71.
Same here. Too old to fight. Too old to run.
I do however throw as much sand as opportunity presents.
Love the Alia’s BTW.
Gaetz started it, but never forget that WE THE PEOPLE gave the assist. Loudly and Clearly. As is our Constitutional Duty.
“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
And I have the receipts to prove it, plus the letter from my Rep saying he delivered on my request, this time.
I told him he made a deal with the Devil in January, and it was time to correct his monumental mistake. Hire Mike Johnson for SoTH.
Give credit where credit is due. Gaetz and Lake would make a great ticket after President Trump finishes his second term. … if only it were possible.
BTW, I think Gaetz is gunning for DeceptiCON RON’s! job next, followed by President.
He should. Roll the meatball out the door.
I just told my daughter he’s either going for Gov of FL or Vice P
I would rather see him stay and make sure the R House stays in majority – but at this point I think he would be good anywhere he lands.
Actually, I see that the FL guvship is up in 2026 – so if Matt is smart (and he is), he’ll fight to keep the House and then run for Guv.
Someone is running for President in 2028
Well, DeSantus got the law changed so the governor of Florida can keep his seat and run for President at the same time. That would help a Governor Gaetz.
Release the tapes….
Great speech, it sounds like he means it. He has done more than my “good conservative” congressman. I wonder if he is interviewing for the 2024 VP position?
I can’t help but doubt Gaetz. I think he’s seen the wave of support for Trump and hedging his career. Sounds good now but later when it really matters, flip back to RINO.
I hope I’m wrong.
Flip back?
Please cite actions of his that were RINO. I don’t remember any.
Well, Gaetz did get McCarthy out. What does he have to do to prove himself to you? He is a good man for that one thing alone.
Well, if you’re right, at least it shows he’s not dumb as dirt like most politicians.
If we had 100 of him in Congress we could get things moving in the right direction. Primary your RINO today!!
❤️❤️❤️ He channels the founding father’s spirit. We need a hundred more.
Amazing, prayers and this speech have gotten me going this morning.
It was a good wake up speech. President Trump is next in my lineup.
Goetz spoke against the murder of the Iranian General in 2020. Give him credit for guts.
We see, we hear, we understand, we wait. Is this another fox trot or an actual waltz?
This man fights. For us. For his country. We should keep him.
And find 350 more Congressional Representatives just like him.
Love that line: can’t keep a food taster. Lost three last week. Ha
Now THAT was a speech.
That the Rinos at WSJ refer to him as the Gaetz of Hell is quite the compliment.
No Rumble link then? I’m boycotting YouTube and G00GLE. Ah well. I found a few short snippets here: https://rumble.com/v3tq4xa-rep.-gaetz-america-is-not-the-worlds-police-force.html
. . . another one: https://rumble.com/v3tq64v-biden-is-sleepwalking-us-into-multiple-wars.html
you can watch the full speech here
https://www.rsbnetwork.com/video/live-president-trump-headlines-the-florida-freedom-summit-in-kissimmee-fl-11-4-23/
Keep in mind the UniParty launched a fake scandal against him that he had to spend millions defending. That alone puts me in his camp at this time.
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
If that speech doesn’t turn you on, you don’t have a switch! Time for a check to Matt Gaetz & Sundance & tribe!
It certainly made for a great morning listen. My first thought too was, I need to send him some cash! You are correct. Donation to Sundance and friends is in order as well.
Thank You!
Time to accept the truth. Since pretending is not allowed here let’s dispense with it shall we? The majority of the Republicans in D.C. are really Democrats. I estimate 95%. I also estimate the majority of them are compromised in some way…most likely blackmailed. The Southern border is wide open because the fake Republicans want it to be. The only real question is why and who benifts.
I have come to the conclusion that CONgress is an OligarchWhore house.
That description tells you who & why.
Yes, and if Mike Johnson fails to corral the 95%, it will be reality/math, not necessarily failure on the part of either Matt and Mike.
The only real solution to that horrid number is to elect a whole lot more MAGA candidates.
No question in my mind that Matt is in the 5%. Watching Mike J. carefully but optimistically.
Matt Gaetz has a resemblance when speaking to the Southern Baptist Evangelist, the Reverend Billy Graham. … A comment for the old.
The Reverend Martin Luther King, was a Pastor in an American Baptist Church. … Often a Protestant Minister is given the ability to speak with spiritual passion.
We need a whole lot more like him…
hey RINO SCUM….
NO MERCY
WOW! That was great. I am always cautious, BUT, I want more of our Representatives to behave like that, Men and Women. He has courage, Faith in God, believer in truth and the ability to proclaim both loudly and without reservation is what I admire. Future behavior and his words will tell us who he is, let’s pray he stays strong for all of us.
Courage is contagious.
We need about 1000 more like Matt Gaetz to counter the Washington swamp scum.
Mike Johnson has got to step up now that he’s Speaker; be like Matt, Mike.
This is the kind of American who won WW2
This man has fire in his belly, and I like the way he thinks! His vote to remove Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of The House was a win/win for the Republican Party. While McCarthy goes home to cry on the shoulder of his room mate/ boyfriend frank Luntz, Mike Johnson is taking over, and I have a feeling he won’t be “controlled opposition”. It’s becoming clearer who the RINO Swamp Creatures are, and who are looking out for the American People …
We have been burned so many times over the years, we deserve combat pay. I actually thought George Bush was a good guy.
I supported Bush too but seeing the truth is always better.
Sundance, you say you’re on the fence, however, it appears you’ve leaned over the fence his way(?). It’s all good, I highly respect what you write. What say you?
Fantastic speech! I hope Gaetz has the best security money can buy. He insulted a lot of demons in DC. He is very brave.
He, Sundance, is one of the MOST FOCUSED individuals in the US House of Representatives!!! Newt Gingrich had that same focus and drive back in the 1980s when you saw him on late night C-Span doing special orders railing about the Dem Leadership in Congress before he became captured by the Establishment!!!
Yup…
*cracks beer*
That my Representative.
A rebel with a cause.
That could be applied to Trump as well
I was rooting for the mighty 6 the whole time. I knew what they were doing and it was going to be a fight. Eli Crane from AZ was in it also and when I heard him in an interview say he was disgusted with Newt who called him a terrorist he was angry. The man is a Navy Seal with several tours of Iraq & Afghanistan and for Newt to call him a terrorist tells you Newt is just another insider establishment. He’ll never forget Levin & Judge Jeanne who denigrated these warriors because “they” know best. Proud to be MAGA and stand with the 6 who have changed the way the DCesspool operates.
Next, Ron DeSantis will be run out of FL.
I was watching his speech, I was surprised by how direct and in their face he was. It was joyful to hear and watch. I also ended up catching Tim Scott’s speech. I’m at the point with this player where I really dislike him. He’s the “nice” guy who gets along with everyone. His speech was nothing but typical GOPe platitudes. I really wished I could have been asking him questions as he threw out his GOPe platitudes. He’s nothing more than a butt buddy of Ms Lindsey.
I’m still trying to figure out why Scott is running for President. I really hope when Trump wins ( yes I’m counting on it) he doesn’t put Scott anyplace in his administration. He won’t be loyal to Maga.
I almost cried when I listened to this speech.
Seriously.
There is hope.
Daamn!!
That’ll leave a Stain!!
I don’t think I heard a thing that I disagree with.
I do not trust this man,….It’s just a thing with me….my senses tell me to run as far away from him as possible.
Just an opinion.
I’m not on the fence. I’m 100% in on Matt Gaetz after the ouster of McCarthy & after listening to this speech.
I pray for his saftey, I pray for his honesty. Please Lord, may this man be the real deal, we need a torch bearer for 2028.
Something tells me to not trust this guy….just a niggling feeling.😏
