Speaker 2 (00:30):
You can clear it all up for us right now.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Will the Department of Justice provide to the committee all documents,
all correspondents between the Department and Alvin Bragg's office and
Fani Willis's office and Letitia James' office.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
The offices you're referring to are independent offices of state.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I get that. I get that state.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
The question is one you will provide all of your
documents and correspondence.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
That's the question. It's I don't need a history.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Lesson well, snake, I'm gonna say again, come on, we
do not control those offices.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
They make it there. The questions do you communicate with them?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Not whether you control them, Do you communicate with them?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
And will we provide those community make a request, we'll
refer it to our Office of Legislative.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
But see, here's the.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Thing that you come in here and you lodge this
attack that it's a conspiracy theory, that there is coordinated
law fair against Trump, and then when we say, fine,
just give us the documents, give us the correspondence, and
then if it's a conspiracy theory, that will be evident.
But when you say, well, we'll take your request and
then we'll we'll sort of work it through the DOJ's
accommodation process, then you're actually advancing the very dangerous conspiracy
(01:35):
theory that you're concerned about.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Brilliantly handled there by Representative Matt Gates, And interestingly enough,
he was inquiring with the guy whose job he might
very well take, Attorney General Merrick Garland. Gates came to
the Republican Assembly here in Colorado thanks largely to our
next guest, who was a friend of his in the
Congress and I wanted to get her take on his
(01:57):
nomination for AG. Representative Lauren Bobert currently in the third district.
She'll be sworn in the fourth coming up here in January. Lauren, Welcome, back, Ryan,
thanks so.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
Much for having me on.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
What an amazing ride this is. We have a country again.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
We certainly do.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
First order of business just about you and your office
is well, you have to move from where you currently
are to ken Bucks old offices where Greg Lopez currently is.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
We're going to let you stay where you are.
Speaker 8 (02:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
So I do not currently have any offices in the
fourth District, and it's kind of up to my team
and I where we place.
Speaker 8 (02:36):
The new offices.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
And we are currently looking at places throughout the district
in East Colorado and then in Douglas County, and so
we'll have some offices opening up and have personnel there
to handle all the constituent casework. And actually that's something
that's very very important that's often overlooked. The constituent casework
(02:58):
that is handled in my office is this is.
Speaker 8 (03:02):
The most important part of my job. This is where
we directly assist.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
The constituents in Colorado and help them with any federal
agencies that they are having difficulties with.
Speaker 8 (03:13):
I have congressional superpowers when it comes to passports.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
I think I can get them in like seven to
twelve minutes. Okay for a little bit of an exaggeration
pretty darn clothes.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
Yes, and so that's important. But Greg Lopez has his offices.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
You know, we'll consider keeping some of those, but we'll
have several spread out throughout the district and make sure
that folks are able to reach us easily.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
And then what about in DC? Is this gonna be
like musical chairs? Like you go to Lopez's bucks old offices,
heard comes in, takes your third congressional office there in DC.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Yes, No, I get to keep my office in Washington, DC.
So I love this office. I actually have one of
the few offices that has a balcony. I'm on the
seventh floor of the long Worth Office Building, and I.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
Don't want to give up that falcony.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Not at all. Representative Luren Bobert joining us. Now, outside of.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Those logistics, I want to get your take on Representative
Matt Gates being nominated as Attorney General. As I said,
you put a phone call in, he came out to Colorado,
he spoke at the General Assembly.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I thought that was really nice of him to do that.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
And what people need to know about Matt Gates that
maybe the otherwise wouldn't that you know, from being a
friend of his, behind the scenes.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Yes, Well, Matt Gates and his wife, Ginger Gates. These
are my best friends in and out of Washington, d C.
I've traveled to Florida and spent time with them working
on different campaigns with the President. I've flown on Trump
Forth one with them with the President. They've been out
to Colorado. These are my closest friends and in DC.
You know, it's kind of nice to have those.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
Either find someone that you trust.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Or get a dog, and so it's really great because
they are such a wonderful couple, and I know how
dedicated Matt is to the American people and to President
Trump's agenda.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
He is very loyal to President Trump.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
And he aggressively wants to have accountability and have oversight.
He has served on the Judiciary Committee, and we see
him every time that there is a hearing.
Speaker 8 (05:13):
He is there.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
He is prepared, he's positioned, and he works as diligently
as he can to get answers out of folks from
the administration or protect whistleblowers and try to unveil some
of that that's taking place in the force branch of
government and the bureaucracies. With all of these unelected bureaucrats,
and he does such an excellent job at executing the
(05:38):
mission there in committee, and so I can't even imagine
the things that he's going to do as Attorney General.
I do believe that he will be confirmed one way
or another, that that's not going to be an issue,
and I think he's going to do great. I mean,
of course, he's going to look into the Department of
Justice and restore justice within that agency by looking at
(06:02):
all of the political persecution that has taken place, not
just with political opponents, but also with the American people,
with conservatives and the irs, with moms and dads at
school boards, with Catholic conservatives who are targeted, and pro lifers,
and so much more.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
And I'm very excited about this. And then there's so
much that.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Has gone wrong in the past four years and really beyond.
I think he will be one of the most successful
Attorney generals that our country has ever seen.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Congressman Lauren Bobert joining us and speaking on behalf of
her as she put it, best friend Matt Gates in
the Congress, and rather than get a dog, she was
able to find that friend in the form of Matt
and is a wife Ginger. One of the things that's
drawing me closer and closer to strongly supporting him in
this role, Lauren, are the people lining up against him,
the establishment hack types, the corrupt individuals, and the bureaucracies
(06:55):
that you're talking about, John Bolton, And here's Andrew McCabe.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
This guy.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
The obvious fact here, Matt Gates is profoundly unqualified for
this job in any of the traditional normal kind of
requirement sense of what the attorney general does day to day.
This is the first step, likely in Trump's revenge tour
against the Department of Justice, the department that he bears
(07:21):
such animists and such a grudge against, for the way
he believes he was mistreated by the multiple investigations targeting him.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Learn he's not scared. Should a lot of people be scared?
Speaker 7 (07:31):
I think so, especially those folks who have not got
it wrong and who has weaponized their positions within the
federal government. You know, yes, you have both, and you
have McCabe, you have McCarthy, But also all of the
Senators and anyone who voted to confirm Merrick Garland should
not have any hesitation confirming Matt Gates Attorney General.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
Merrick Garland is the.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Worst attorney general that we've seen politicized and has weaponized
the department of Department of Justice so much that I've
considered a department of injustice for four years now. And
so Matt Gates will do a fantastic job there holding
folks accountable. And yeah, you probably.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Should be scared if you haven't been doing the right thing.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I'm going to get into what you know behind the
scenes here, Lauren, because you can offer a perspective unlike
hardly anybody else can. Here's briefly what Trey Gowdy had
to say, former Member of the House.
Speaker 10 (08:29):
I give the President tremendous credit, John Ratcliffe, Mike Walls, others,
absolute A plus picks.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The more you.
Speaker 10 (08:36):
Get to know Hexas and Tholsey Gabbert, the more you're
gonna like her. The more you get to know Matt Gates,
the less you're gonna like him. I'm going to be
really surprised that he can get confirmed.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And then here's Kevin McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I think choices are very good except one.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Look, Gates won't get confirmed. Everybody knows that.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
What is the rift between Matt Gates and Kevin McCarthy,
Because as I recall, Lauren, you were kind of quarm
on McCarthy. You didn't want to remove him, but you
weren't his biggest fan. And yet Matt Gates he just
can't stand Kevin McCarthy, and that feeling is mutual.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
What can you tell us about that dynamic?
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Well, I know that Matt Gates does not respect people
who are not honest, who are transactional, and will do
anything to get their way, even if it means not
doing the right thing to get there. And so I
know that a lot of trust has been broken between
Matt Gates and Kevin McCarthy over the years. Even prior
(09:32):
to me coming up to Washington, d C. I have
seen Matt sit down with Kevin McCarthy and tried to
work through issues and tell McCarthy, I want to help you,
I want you to be a successful speaker, help me
help you. And there was we did have several months
where Matt was going on and supporting McCarthy, but then
(09:54):
as soon as McCarthy showed his true colors, became transactional again,
lied about positions broke that were made. Then Matt said, Okay,
you are who you are and the gloves are off.
And so, of course McCarthy is one of those people
who also likes to weaponize their position and has done
so against Matt the DOJ FBI, they've looked into Matt
(10:15):
Gates for allegations in.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
The past that stuff was dismissed one after another.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
But yet Kevin McCarthy's Epics Committee in Washington, d C.
Still have marching orders from the former speaker who Matt
Gates vacated, and they are still trying to find any
little airplane trip that they can that maybe broke an
ethical rule in Congress so they can still stick on
a nasty headline of something that's.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Been completely proven to be untrue.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
And dismissed by the DOJ. And so, whether it's Kevin
McCarthy or Trey Goudy, I actually would stay. The more
you get to know them, the less you like them.
Trey Goudy is someone that I respected, or ought I
did from what I was seeing the snippets that you
see from home until.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
I actually met him. And he's one of the.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Most disappointing folks that I have met in politics, former members,
current members to someone else who is transactional and only
cares about themselves rather than the people that they are representing. Sure,
they say the right things, position themselves in the right
places to look like they're doing something good, but really
(11:27):
it's all about them.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
And you can put, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Kevin McCarthy and Trey Goudi and Ken buck all in
that same bucket, because I've seen it from all of them,
and unfortunately many more. Matt Gates is true to his word.
He is someone that I can sit here on the
phone with you, on the radio with you and speak
to Coloraden's and say that this man has never lied
(11:52):
to me. I have never witnessed him lie. He is honest,
he is truthful, he is direct, and a lot of
people don't like the truth.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Ringing endorsement from Congresswoman Lauren Bobert from Matt Gates in
his pursuit of the role of Attorney General and part
and parcel of this entire conversation, Lauren that you and
I have been having.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I was concerned.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I didn't want a replay of what we saw the
first time around with the Rex Teller, Sins and Bill
Barr and all the kind of insider hacks that infiltrated
the Trump administration for their own personal purposes and gain.
And boy, were you right? And I am very much
relieved that you are the way that Donald Trump is
approaching these appointments for his cabinet. What is the common
thread in all of them as you see it.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
I think the common thread is we are getting a
more useful, a more energized administration. This cabinet, these cabinet positions.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Are being filled are incredible.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Most of the folks are in their forties or early forties,
mid forties. You have Tulcy Gabbert, you have JD. Vance,
you have Matt Gates, who have a leased the Phonic
who is a young mother coming out of Washington, d C.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
Now to be our ambassador to the UN.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
This is an amazing energized group that President Trump is
putting together. And now we have RSK Junior who was
just announced as the Secretary of Health and Human Services
to truly make America healthy again. President Trump is doing
exactly what he promised on the campaign trail. He is
delivering on those promises. He is not wasting any time,
(13:26):
and he is aggressively getting the right people in this position.
These aren't the swamp creatures of the past. These aren't
the people who have earned their time, earned their positions,
done their time, have seniority, and.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Have padded enough back.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
These are the people who actually stand for something. These
are the people who want America to be strong and
great and prosperous and free.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
And I believe that we.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Can lead the world as just a global a global
example of what it means to put the people first
rather than selling them out on a regular basis. This
is going to be an incredible four years.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
I believe it will be better.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Than it would have been if President Trump was allowed
to walk into the White House after the twenty twenty election.
This is an era where he is wiser, He has
learned more about the people who are involved. He has
brought up newer people.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
JD.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Vance wasn't on the scenes back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
You know, he was still up and coming.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
And this is stronger and more powerful, better policy, more
tax cuts, more economic development and prosperity.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
And I am still here for it.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
I share in this enthusiasm one hundred percent. And I
am further reaffirmed in that position by Congresswoman Lauren Bolbert.
Great stuff as always, Lauren, thank you so much for
your time. We'll talk again soon. Thanks so much much
more on Rhine Shueling Live after this

Much for having me on.
Speaker 8 (02:09):
What an amazing ride this is. We have a country again.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
We certainly do.

First order of business just about you and your office

Speaker 2 (02:24):
We're going to let you stay where you are.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
The more you.

Because as I recall, Lauren, you were kind of quarm
on McCarthy. You didn't want to remove him, but you
weren't his biggest fan. And yet Matt Gates he just
can't stand Kevin McCarthy, and that feeling is mutual.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
What can you tell us about that dynamic?
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Well, I know that Matt Gates does not respect people
who are not honest, who are transactional, and will do
anything to get their way, even if it means not
doing the right thing to get there. And so I
know that a lot of trust has been broken between
Matt Gates and Kevin McCarthy over the years. Even prior
(09:32):
to me coming up to Washington, d C. I have
seen Matt sit down with Kevin McCarthy and tried to
work through issues and tell McCarthy, I want to help you,
I want you to be a successful speaker, help me
help you. And there was we did have several months
where Matt was going on and supporting McCarthy, but then
(09:54):
as soon as McCarthy showed his true colors, became transactional again,
lied about positions broke that were made. Then Matt said, Okay,
you are who you are and the gloves are off.
And so, of course McCarthy is one of those people
who also likes to weaponize their position and has done
so against Matt the DOJ FBI, they've looked into Matt
(10:15):
Gates for allegations in.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
The past that stuff was dismissed one after another.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
But yet Kevin McCarthy's Epics Committee in Washington, d C.
Still have marching orders from the former speaker who Matt
Gates vacated, and they are still trying to find any
little airplane trip that they can that maybe broke an
ethical rule in Congress so they can still stick on
a nasty headline of something that's.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Been completely proven to be untrue.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
And dismissed by the DOJ. And so, whether it's Kevin
McCarthy or Trey Goudy, I actually would stay. The more
you get to know them, the less you like them.
Trey Goudy is someone that I respected, or ought I
did from what I was seeing the snippets that you
see from home until.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
I actually met him. And he's one of the.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Most disappointing folks that I have met in politics, former members,
current members to someone else who is transactional and only
cares about themselves rather than the people that they are representing. Sure,
they say the right things, position themselves in the right
places to look like they're doing something good, but really
(11:27):
it's all about them.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
And you can put, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Kevin McCarthy and Trey Goudi and Ken buck all in
that same bucket, because I've seen it from all of them,
and unfortunately many more. Matt Gates is true to his word.
He is someone that I can sit here on the
phone with you, on the radio with you and speak
to Coloraden's and say that this man has never lied
(11:52):
to me. I have never witnessed him lie. He is honest,
he is truthful, he is direct, and a lot of
people don't like the truth.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Ringing endorsement from Congresswoman Lauren Bobert from Matt Gates in
his pursuit of the role of Attorney General and part
and parcel of this entire conversation, Lauren that you and
I have been having.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I was concerned.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
I didn't want a replay of what we saw the
first time around with the Rex Teller, Sins and Bill
Barr and all the kind of insider hacks that infiltrated
the Trump administration for their own personal purposes and gain.
And boy, were you right? And I am very much
relieved that you are the way that Donald Trump is
approaching these appointments for his cabinet. What is the common
thread in all of them as you see it.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
I think the common thread is we are getting a
more useful, a more energized administration. This cabinet, these cabinet positions.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Are being filled are incredible.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Most of the folks are in their forties or early forties,
mid forties. You have Tulcy Gabbert, you have JD. Vance,
you have Matt Gates, who have a leased the Phonic
who is a young mother coming out of Washington, d C.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
Now to be our ambassador to the UN.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
This is an amazing energized group that President Trump is
putting together. And now we have RSK Junior who was
just announced as the Secretary of Health and Human Services
to truly make America healthy again. President Trump is doing
exactly what he promised on the campaign trail. He is
delivering on those promises. He is not wasting any time,
(13:26):
and he is aggressively getting the right people in this position.
These aren't the swamp creatures of the past. These aren't
the people who have earned their time, earned their positions,
done their time, have seniority, and.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Have padded enough back.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
These are the people who actually stand for something. These
are the people who want America to be strong and
great and prosperous and free.
Speaker 8 (13:53):
And I believe that we.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Can lead the world as just a global a global
example of what it means to put the people first
rather than selling them out on a regular basis. This
is going to be an incredible four years.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
I believe it will be better.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Than it would have been if President Trump was allowed
to walk into the White House after the twenty twenty election.
This is an era where he is wiser, He has
learned more about the people who are involved. He has
brought up newer people.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
JD.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Vance wasn't on the scenes back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
You know, he was still up and coming.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
And this is stronger and more powerful, better policy, more
tax cuts, more economic development and prosperity.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
And I am still here for it.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
I share in this enthusiasm one hundred percent. And I
am further reaffirmed in that position by Congresswoman Lauren Bolbert.
Great stuff as always, Lauren, thank you so much for
your time. We'll talk again soon. Thanks so much much
