Matt Taibbi

That was the thing that they really...

I found this out the hard way because when we testified in front of Congress in March of 2023, the journalist Matt Taibbi and I The Democrats attacked us as, you know, first of all, they claimed that somehow we had some relationship with Elon, which is not true.

And but they were just outraged that Elon had gotten rid of all the censorship that was being done on the behalf of Democrats.

So when we say, you know, we called the book The Left's War on Reality, this war is the main event they need to defend.

And Mark Levin is on a rampage because he got locked out of his AOL email in 2026.

It's all next to the Matt Gaetz Show.

Let's do this.

We're shaking up Washington, D.C. We're breaking the fever.

You ever watch this guy on television? He's like a machine.

He's great.

Matt Gaetz.

Our top story tonight is the shape of the Republican Party as we move toward divided government.

Welcome to the hellscape, my friends.

Sooner or later, as Matt Taibbi describes, it will enter a place where two vehicles are speeding to the D.C. police.

Two men will jump out from each from their own vehicle, run up to the police chief and point at each other and say, arrest that man.

That, my friends, is when everything starts breaking down.

I've never seen anything like that before in my life.

And that's what, you know, in the Rolling Stone article, you know, gangster bankers, you know, too big to jail that Matt Taibbi did.

You know, he explains this like the money laundering failures there.

HSBC designed a program to intentionally deceive the regulators.

It was just simply to protect the United States.

And later on, Berger and Montague, which is a very large whistleblowing firm out of Philadelphia, they got involved because what happened was... um and i passed a lot of my intelligence uh to reuters there was a um and because reuters did a story about hsbc bank and they got a lot of it wrong and i remember i called the newsroom there and i told him i said look you guys had this wrong like i i can give you the real the real scoop and i gave them my intelligence or this reporter i worked with him for a while on the story and reuters broke the story this was right before they announced the 1.2 billion dollar fine And Reuters broke the story and then Rolling Stone did a story.

Matt Taibbi did.

That's what really put this on the map, this whole situation.

Oh, you know what? Yeah.

This is like, you know, like a Matt Taibbi or something.

Right.

Like a guy that like was supposedly like, you know.
