Gaetz has evolved into one of the most effective, articulate Members in Congress. Of 535 Seat-Fillers, there are less than 75 who are truly fighting for our country. Thanks for posting this. I find watching even Fox Business to be too tedious most days.
09/26/23: They WANT bland (it was part of the Dominion legal settlement).
However, none of this is new. The Same-Old-Faces regime at CFN (Castrati Fox Network) has been in power for so long, John Hopkins University wants to acquire CFN's Sixth Avenue HQ to create their Medical Center For The Further Advancement of Media Mummification.
09-26-23: Thank you! That was EXACTLY my reaction. She blew up her career screeching like what the WDC air-raid siren SHOULD have sounded like (in David Brinkley's memoir, "Washington Goes To War," 1988).
*
So. She's just one more Fox uniparty stenographer. Advice to Maria: Each steno really ought to develop a skill that will make him/her irreplaceable, because, Maria, frankly, all of you can be replaced by an AI chat box programmed by Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy.
*
And if it's not too late, I urge that you somehow stop sounding like an air raid siren (honest, it's not our fault that Brad Pitt didn't marry you).
Bartiromo actually put out a video saying she respects Gaetz's positions. It was clear she actually reflected on what he said and was convinced that he made good points. I applaud her for asking pointed questions, while at the same time keeping an open mind and being willing to listen to, and be pursuaded by, his answers. You can't ask for more than that.
I also agree with the comments saying basically that Gaetz is on fire! I don't know that I agree with absolutely everything he wants, but he's absolutely right to hold McCarthy to what McCarthy pledged to do. Accountability is in far-too short supply these days; it would set a great precident for McCarthy to live up to his promises.

The more I see of Gaetz, the more I like him. They tried to hobble him with some salacious allegations a couple of years ago; I guess they saw him coming on too strong.
He’s enormously impressive, incredibly fast thinking and cogent. I can’t stand listening to most people, and aside from Bartiromo’s duplicity, she has a voice like fingernails on a blackboard. But I could listen to Gaetz all day.
As for the sound of Maria Bombastico's voice, somewhere in this comments section is a reference (mine) to an air-raid siren, which, on second thought, fails to do her justice.
Yeah, funny how that all fell apart, isn't it. Of course, these are the same people who looked the other way while cashing the checks written by Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, eh?
At what point now, in September 2023, does this make a difference, or matter?

After Tucker was fired, they all had their chance to establish their honor by quitting Fox / publicly stating that what had happened was unconscionable and that the Castrati New Network was now owned by Merrick Garland.
It is all a matter of degradation. How much degradation can a self-respecting individual handle? I agree that all those at Fox who considered themselves seekers and/or bringers of truth to their millions of truth seeking viewers would almost reflectively noisily resigned. She didn't. She's nobody now edging toward outright shill-dom. Maybe her mental assessment of her core character will overpower her mental view of her mortgage payment. I'm thinking her next Freedom Caucus interview will nailem' to the wall for management.
They were in a perfect spot to make a statement, unless they had foolishly signed a $10,000,000 mortgage that has to be paid off/get the house repossessed; all of them have been paid handsomely and could have survived severing themselves from the increasingly evil Lachlan Murdoch regime.* None did. A shame.
*The irony: American conservatives today are cursing L.M. and his henchmen with the same words that the British liberals-labor radicals hurled at Rupert Murdoch in the 1980s! Recommended: The End of The Street [Fleet Street 1980s], Linda Melvern [1949- ]; Methuen (1986 hardcover).
Why did her opinion even need to evolve? Why see McCarthy as a friendly at all? `Matt G working with the Democrats?! I think the RINO issue is THE issue.
I think she made her arguments clear in the clip. She's basically saying that there have been wins, and they should be consolidated. Attacking McCarthy is doing Schumer's work for him. Matt gave excellent responses to her arguments, and it sounds like he changed her mind, to some extent.
Great piece Emerald -- thank you. Disappointed to see Maria join the traitors in the 'establishment' taking the country down the TOILET! Congressman Gaetz is a warrior and patriot!
thanks for this, I now try to avoid Fox as much as possible but needed to see this interview and your commentary to understand the GOP establishment attack. The only tactic left for the real patriots in congress is to obstruct the steamroller omnibus bill, and take the flack from the media over the shutdown. Hopefully more Americans now understand the tactic thanks to your reporting.
Gaetz did a great job. As for ending McCarthy's reign, I agree that would be true, if we had honest elections. Unfortunately, the seemingly endless number of "elected" officials like McCarthy are very strong evidence that we do not.
BRAVO FOR TRUTH! Stellar reporting, Emerald! We the People are grateful for Gaetz and the other honest Patriots! We shall prevail to save this country!
Great analysis and it should be required reading for all RINO’s who think they’ll continue their secretive symbiotic relations with NWO enablers while stashing their excess committee cash like squirrels for the coming winter..
I noticed MB glancing at "notes" ie approved Murdoch talking points as she was uttering obvious BS. I believe she did her duty but kinda backed off in personal statements. She also utters the name of TC when making a false claim about J6 vids.
If she continues and "evolves", she's gonna get 'tuckered'.
According to Thomas Sowell, politicians are not trying to solve our problems, but they are trying to solve their own problems, with getting elected and re-elected being the top two priorities. Mr. Goetz is trying to change that, but it does look hopeless when you have people like McCarthy
Emerald, I hope you're right: Matt Gaetz needs to TAKE THE ACTION that he said McCarthy isn't taking: Gaetz needs to bring McCarthy down as the Chair - it's time for him to go.
Unless Gaetz does that, we're still living with the same broken system - because of broken promises all around. First McCarthy, then real CRIMINAL charges against Joe Biden, Garland and Wray...on down the line.
Great work as usual, Emerald. We have been getting kicked in the stones by the repub est. for decades and it needs to stop. Great work, Gaetz! I didn't realize he wasn't in the Freedom Caucus.
Maria is paid by the Murdochs but, I believe, is personally aligned with Gaetz. Her Sunday performance reflected her employer’s position. Her Monday turnaround on Gaetz’s legitimate points, reflected her own position. I would not be surprised to see Maria follow in Tuckers footsteps, sooner than later. P.S. Gaetz is a courageous Patriot! If the sequel to “Profiles in Courage” is ever written, Gaetz deserves a leading chapter.

While making Bartiromo look like a lackey for the establishment. She just lost my respect.

I applaud and respect your good will towards Maria. However, I regret to say that that I can't share the same sentiments.

FYI, Maria Bartiromo now says that Matt Gaetz is right, she is glad she had him on her show and her thinking is "evolving".
Wow, that was fast...
I have to say, Matt was very effective. I don't live in Florida, but I just donated to his campaign.
That means she is one step closer to joining Tucker Carlson.
At what point now, in September 2023, does this make a difference, or matter?

Not one of them did. Cowards.

How pathetic is it when someone at Castrati Network News has to stoop so low as to plagiarize a multi-million dollar Community Organizer (Obama)?
Great piece Emerald -- thank you. Disappointed to see Maria join the traitors in the 'establishment' taking the country down the TOILET! Congressman Gaetz is a warrior and patriot!
Maria Bartiromo-Matt Gaetz "interview": In other words, a replay of Sunday's NFL game, final score, Dolphins (Gaetz) 70, Broncos (MB) 20.
(Note: Bartiromo got 18 points at the start of the game by cashing her paycheck.)

Isn't Bartiromo a member of the Council on Foreign Relations?

Uh, why, YES!
What every aspiring "journalist" yearns for: Respectability.
Gaetz did a great job. As for ending McCarthy's reign, I agree that would be true, if we had honest elections. Unfortunately, the seemingly endless number of "elected" officials like McCarthy are very strong evidence that we do not.
McCarthy's from California. Honest elections? Fat chance.
He's also besties with Paul Ryan, which is not a point in his favor.
There are no points in his favor. He's a dime-a-dozen fixer.
BRAVO FOR TRUTH! Stellar reporting, Emerald! We the People are grateful for Gaetz and the other honest Patriots! We shall prevail to save this country!

running the show. And, it is just a show.
Emerald, I hope you're right: Matt Gaetz needs to TAKE THE ACTION that he said McCarthy isn't taking: Gaetz needs to bring McCarthy down as the Chair - it's time for him to go.
Unless Gaetz does that, we're still living with the same broken system - because of broken promises all around. First McCarthy, then real CRIMINAL charges against Joe Biden, Garland and Wray...on down the line.
And who do you have in mind to enforce these all-too-consequential sounding 'real CRIMINAL charges?'
Great work as usual, Emerald. We have been getting kicked in the stones by the repub est. for decades and it needs to stop. Great work, Gaetz! I didn't realize he wasn't in the Freedom Caucus.
