A video that’s gone viral captures a shocking breach of privacy, revealing former Congressman and current OAN host Matt Gaetz’s private text messages with his mother, Vicky Gaetz, about President Donald Trump and Iran, a moment that’s exposing his true thoughts and sparking a firestorm.
Shared on TikTok, the footage shows an over-the-shoulder shot of Gaetz, in a gray suit, texting on a flight, his words now public domain.
Vicky warns her son, “Don’t be criticizing the President or his actions. He’s trying to keep us safe. That’s his job. MAGA will turn on you. You will lose viewership. Your days in congress are over, practice of law? Let’s not mess up the media gig. The president has been a very good friend to you. He hates betrayal. Be smart, not stubborn.” Gaetz responds, “I’m trying to guide him, not criticize him,” adding, “But I’ve never been freer to share my views — and I’ll continue to do so. I think about the people who cheered the Iraq war because they liked Bush. Those people have blood on their hands.”
His mother counters, “Don’t guide him in the public square. He has intelligence and briefing that you are not privy to.” Gaetz replies, “You’d be surprised… Guiding DJT always includes a private and public component. I know how to do it.” The texts also reveal his financial stability, “I’m a happily married man with a son on the way, two penthouse condos, a 1:1 real estate asset to debt ratio. I have $500K in my bank account cash,” and his views on Iran, “Iran has been 3 months away from a nuke since 1992. They had surrendered their ICBM program in 2003. They have done no R&D on re-entry capability. These are facts… Iran’s nuclear program posed no threat to the U.S., North Korea actually does.”

Gaetz addressed the privacy violation on X, “Apparently someone sitting behind me on a flight recorded me without my knowledge. They found me texting my mother about news of the day, family finances, and working on my laptop… Please let this be a reminder to everyone to CALL YOUR MOTHER!” Critics are seizing on this, ignoring the ethics of spying on private messages. This isn’t just about texts—it’s about a public figure’s vulnerability.

The video, with its millions of views, is a cultural touchstone, a moment that captures the divide between privacy and publicity. For Gaetz, it’s a moment of exposure; for America, it’s a test of ethics.
