Matt Gaetz is known for his showmanship and willingness to take on anyone, including his own party\u2019s leadership. On Friday night, he put his skills to the test as a substitute host on \u201cGreg Kelly Reports\u201d on Newsmax. And the results were impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz outdrew CNN veteran Anderson Cooper in the 10 p.m. Eastern slot with 282,000 viewers to Cooper\u2019s 249,000, according to the New York Post. The congressman opened the program with trademark humor, jokingly reassuring viewers that they were on the right channel and that Greg Kelly hadn\u2019t suddenly grown better hair.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz then delved into current issues such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-critical-week-biden-republicans-search-for-outline-of-debt-limit-deal\/\" title=\"Biden and Republicans seek debt-limit deal in crucial week.\">debt-ceiling talks<\/a>, inflation, and the weaponization of the FBI against conservatives.

While Cooper\u2019s show focused on a one-year retrospective of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, Gaetz\u2019s show covered a range of topics, including the border crisis and the Biden administration\u2019s failures.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, Cooper beat Gaetz in the coveted demographic of viewers ages 25-54, but it\u2019s a good bet many of them weren\u2019t actually <em>watching<\/em> what was on the screen. Younger adults tend to have better things to do on Friday nights than navel-gaze with Anderson Cooper, no matter what white noise is coming from the TV.<\/p>\n<p>Newsmax viewers are much more likely to be engaged in what they\u2019re watching \u2014 or they wouldn\u2019t have Newsmax on in the first place. Meanwhile, both networks were whipped solidly by Fox News and MSNBC in the time slot.<\/p>\n<h3>Pushing Progressive Priorities<\/h3>\n<p>While the topic of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School is important, it suits the Democratic mania for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-loses-to-matt-gaetz-when-he-guest-hosts-newsmax\/\" title=\"Matt Gaetz beats CNN as guest host on Newsmax.\">pushing progressive priorities<\/a> under any guise \u2014 in this case, gun control. But the viewing numbers show Americans weren\u2019t buying it.<\/p>\n<p>So, the Gaetz level of showmanship isn\u2019t up to toppling the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-msnbc-feverishly-courting-jen-psaki-for-post-white-house-cable-news-spot-report\/\" title=\"CNN, MSNBC \u2018Feverishly\u2019 Courting Jen Psaki For Post White House Cable News Spot: Report\">cable news giant<\/a> of Fox or MSNBC yet, but it looks like he\u2019s more than capable of taking on a warmed-over has-been like Anderson Cooper rehashing a story from last year simply because it suits the liberal worldview.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Articles:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/planned-parenthood-offer-abortions-rv-will-park-mobile-clinic-border-red-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Planned Parenthood to Offer Abortions in RV That Will Park at Mobile Clinic on Border in Red State<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/offering-tucker-carlson-job-newsmax-creates-another-headache-fox-news-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Offering Tucker Carlson a Job, Newsmax Creates Another Headache for Fox News Deal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Matt Gaetz Takes Over Newsmax and Wins Big<\/h2>\n<p>Love him or hate him, there&#8217;s no denying that Matt Gaetz knows how to captivate an audience. The Florida congressman recently guest-hosted on Newsmax and the ratings speak for themselves &#8211; CNN couldn&#8217;t compete.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz is known for his unapologetic approach to politics and his willingness to take on both Democrats and members of his own party. He&#8217;s a showman at heart and it&#8217;s clear that his style translates well to television.<\/p>\n<p>While he may not be ready to leave his day job just yet, it&#8217;s clear that Gaetz has a future in television if he wants it. And with an audience already waiting, it&#8217;s only a matter of time before we see more of him on the small screen.<\/p>\n<h3>Related:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pink-haired-democrat-attempts-smear-fbi-whistleblower-gaetz-epically-trolls-blunder\/\" data-type='Internal link' data-type-location='in-content-related'><strong>Pink-Haired Democrat Attempts to Smear FBI Whistleblower, Gaetz Epically Trolls Her Blunder<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
