energy just through the course of the thing and now i've watched you in this job and i come in
00:00:47.360

00:01:32.440
i'm kidding i'm kidding i'll do the dares i'll do the dares always that's why my nickname is ballsy matt
00:01:37.540
i'll do the dares um okay brief story life story in like two minutes or less right grew up in a
00:01:43.920
small town northwest ohio uh parents split divorce when i was like one television raised me i was born
00:01:49.960
in 74 i'm a tv baby uh favorite show oh geez tv yeah of like the 70s like of that era i would go
00:01:58.820
lassie oh no see early 80s i was gonna say magnum pi who didn't want to be magnum i want to live in
00:02:04.840
hawaii drive a ferrari and bus bad guys and get the ladies but like as a kid you were you watching
00:02:09.640
oh as as a kid as a kid you're talking were you like you know leave it to beaver guy no no because
00:02:15.600
my dad's side of the family was a little bit rougher than my mom's side of the family that
00:02:18.560
kind of raised me for a while so i was probably watching i mean my grandma liked uh the waltons
00:02:24.340
so i watched the waltons with her but then if i was at dad's house then you would watch stuff a
00:02:29.900
little racier um gosh i don't know if i have a favorite show my favorite movie of all time because
00:02:35.600
it launched me into this career is good morning vietnam no reason yep and the reason i say that
00:02:40.380
is because that movie came out in 89 yep adrian cronauer robin williams that's right and funny
00:02:46.700
story so i had two vhs copies of that movie in case the vhs ate one right because the tape would always
00:02:53.120
get you know crinkled or chewed up so i had two copies so i could always watch that i watched that
00:02:57.160
through high school and when i signed up for the air force fast forward now i got into this i was
00:03:01.740
supposed to go in the marines with a couple buddies and i was going to be a marine corps sniper
00:03:04.700
and literally the day i was going over at 17 years old to sign up for the service i switched
00:03:09.780
my entire career in life because the air force recruiter walked in and it was a hallway with all
00:03:14.980
the different services and i was kind of sitting on the ground waiting for the marine recruiter to
00:03:18.740
show up for my appointment to literally sign the contract and the air force guy came down the
00:03:23.020
hallway was like hey what's your name um if you're waiting on sergeant so-and-so they're out to
00:03:26.480
lunch you can sit in my office smart salesman sits me down on the couch what do you like to do
00:03:30.920
at that time i'm like well i was recording radio station commercials in my little hometown of 4 000
00:03:35.320
people because i had a deep voice for 16 and i was helping a buddy dj weddings and parties so i
00:03:40.340
already was doing on-air type broadcasting radio stuff and so i told the recruiter that he goes
00:03:44.300
have you seen the movie good morning vietnam and i'm like i love that movie he was like how would you
00:03:48.340
like to do that i'm like i'm going in to be a sniper with my buddies in the corps man we're going
00:03:52.480
to take out the bad guys he's like well as a combat journalist you'll do a b c and d and i'm like
00:03:56.880
sign me up when you're 17 you're you know very well influenced it's not hard to do so i changed
00:04:02.600
my whole life when is with journalist did it four years got out started as a cameraman at an abc
00:04:08.500
affiliate in palm springs california and then for the last 30 years i've moved around from las vegas
00:04:14.780
to philadelphia to grand rapids mishik and fresno uh san diego all kinds of places doing the news
00:04:21.080
that's how i got here it's pretty simple yeah so so i remember loving the movie good morning vietnam
00:04:28.240
but then also seeing like how some of the vietnam vets who were my buddy's parents like did not love
00:04:36.900
the politics of that that it was highly critical of u.s involved it was but i actually think the
00:04:41.720
message from that movie withstands the test of history oh it does today let me really talking to
00:04:47.040
my vet buddies and their dads who are vietnam vets today now knowing what we know and you know as a
00:04:52.520
former sitting congressman with all the corruption in the dod and the deep state oh let me tell you
00:04:57.480
now i think more people unlike back in the 70s when people are screaming baby killers at him and all
00:05:02.000
pissed off at lbj and everything else i think today people go yeah that war should have been handled
00:05:06.980
differently or if we even should have been in it and i think adrian kronauer who by the way met him
00:05:11.360
nothing like robin williams funny quick story he gave the commencement speech at my graduation
00:05:17.700
ceremony no when i went through dinfo's which is the defense information school of broadcast
00:05:21.840
journalism he's a short uh kind of i think he might still be alive i don't know shorter little rotund
00:05:27.980
uh curly frizzy hair and beard so are you buying not that funny like the hot asian girlfriend like
00:05:32.980
adrian kronauer in the movie um that would that maybe was dramatized no looking up the background
00:05:38.820
of that film um the director let robin be robin and bring that character to life because adrian
00:05:46.040
from what i understand talking to people more about him and actual veterans that heard him while they
00:05:51.080
were in the bush in vietnam he was more always political and not funny it was controversial robin
00:05:57.160
made the character funny for hollywood which thank goodness because it literally changed my entire life
00:06:01.580
one movie it's crazy to say but that movie and a smart um recruiter
00:06:07.180
changed my life i can only like right now questions are coming for you by the way matt next
00:06:13.180
listen man you get to end everything with a question if you want if you let me i'll just
00:06:17.780
let my curiosity run wild but i am curious to know how doing that job for the military
00:06:23.460
is different than like the civilian thing we do now well matt let's be real do you think that
00:06:31.100
out of all the deep state stuff you uncovered your how many years in congress eight your eight years
00:06:35.860
in congress do you think that the military would let someone like me and you know my personality
00:06:41.740
say whatever i want to the troops about what's happening it really was censored
00:06:46.280
what do you think well i mean yeah but i think people would be that was another theme of the movie
00:06:52.860
good morning vietnam so i mean you know a theme of the movie is the radio broadcaster wants to tell
00:06:59.840
the troops on the ground the truth about these casualties and losses and you weren't allowed to go in there
00:07:04.540
and thinning it out so even in the years you were doing that you actually saw that same thing come
00:07:09.940
hell yeah so let's think about this matt you and i have made careers in the last eight for you the
00:07:14.680
last four and a half five for me here at oan telling the truth speaking truth to power and bitching and
00:07:19.460
complaining about censorship because let's be real well doesn't lying sound exhausting yeah just tell
00:07:24.580
the truth people well also you have to then keep up with the lie right what did i say last time to
00:07:29.720
the press yeah so think about this this is or just like what you believe like a bunch of them that i
00:07:34.840
work with that i worked with in congress they don't even believe the things they say they just say what
00:07:41.080
they have to based on who's giving them money name names well you know this podcast people want you to
00:07:45.980
name names matt tell them i think you just saw one get removed from the intelligence committee
00:07:51.680
chairmanship mike turner i think that's someone who was a wholly owned subsidiary of the defense
00:07:56.280
industry and of uh some of the kind of gray operators and we all knew it and the speaker
00:08:02.980
knew it and people resented it and so he got bounced but the way you become a committee chairman
00:08:08.740
is to be a multi-level marketer in the money laundering that is washington so you mean you have
00:08:15.720
to have a ba and bs is that what you're saying well it's not it's not that much unlike the mob right
00:08:21.580
the capos are the ones who ultimately develop the systems to kick up the most to the bosses
00:08:27.760
you know the maid guys at the bottom they're always just trying to scrape out theirs and kick up to the
00:08:33.180
capos yep but then if you've got a system where you're like oh man i did a really good favor for
00:08:38.180
this industry that's very liquid right now they can i can be their vessel to plow money into the
00:08:44.040
political machine well baby that's how you go from a not so important committee to an important
00:08:48.900
committee that's how you go from a subcommittee chairman to a chairman so when you look at who
00:08:53.720
rises in these ranks you can see who's playing that game revealing all the swamp inside here on
00:09:01.740
the anchorman podcast matt gates thanks brother i just think of this because you brought this up with
00:09:06.520
with censorship back then and this is just coming full circle now to me 50 years later here so our
00:09:14.080
government would censor military broadcasters like adrian cronauer about wars we were waging
00:09:18.980
and people think that in this day and age where you and i president trump truth tellers in the maga
00:09:25.360
movement and we're out there going we've been censored your government does this they've been doing it
00:09:28.820
for years folks they've been doing it forever just go back to the vietnam war military broadcasters
00:09:35.740
couldn't even tell you the damn truth about the war or they'd be censored so it's been going on forever
00:09:41.260
it just got worse well and i think i think the digitization of the censorship made it easier
00:09:47.280
and i think that the way these algorithms are working and the way some of these entities um can
00:09:53.540
shape the nature of truth by directing advertising dollars based on their politics not based on where
00:10:01.280
there is viewership um that is a very troubling thing that you wouldn't have had happen in the 1970s
00:10:08.180
but through digitization of content is is pretty dangerous now plus you also have
00:10:13.500
journalists and i've known these people for decades these people at the network level
00:10:18.460
who still act like journalists when they are paid puppets for the machine for the left-wing entity i mean
00:10:24.240
i can't think of too many people out there anymore like 99 of them that aren't bought and paid for or
00:10:30.160
they're just brainwashed so much that are doing their jobs i was watching a clip i think tonight or
00:10:34.080
yesterday of uh joy reed on msnbc and i'm just sitting there yeah you laugh i'm like that's one
00:10:39.640
of the biggest lying racist people and they give her a national platform shame on you msnbc to sit
00:10:48.920
there and spew lies the american people and the american people think it's legitimate because they
00:10:53.440
hide behind the title journalism do you hate watch it no no nope because i don't want to give them
00:10:58.520
ratings i think i watch producer who hate watches joy do they i think i have one vish you watch that
00:11:03.280
no i can't stand more than a couple clips my wife or somebody will show me a clip did you see what so
00:11:09.440
and so said and i'll watch it and 20 30 seconds in with the lies and the bs i will literally scream
00:11:14.740
turn that off like i can't stand it i'm like how do you still get a paycheck how do the executives at
00:11:21.660
msnbc allow that to go on the air they know that's all they're all lies anyway just no i mean
00:11:27.700
it's a virtue signal and discuss the hell out of me after doing this shit 30 years it disgusts the
00:11:32.060
hell out of me matt yeah disgusting i don't know that i get as mad at the left media as the as some
00:11:38.400
on the right who um don't cover the the stories that matter most to people's lives that kind of chase
00:11:45.600
the normal washington narrative scene and i think we're living in an era now where information is
00:11:51.760
more fragmented than it ever at the other time totally agree i mean i still remember you know
00:11:57.280
huddling up with my parents to watch dan rather at night right and that was my grandma and i
00:12:02.120
walter cronkite you only got about eight or nine years on you we're walter cronkite family my grandma
00:12:06.220
i i can already tell that anchorman is going to explore the full gen x versus uh like zennial
00:12:13.840
generation what am i yeah we're about you're gen x i'm at 50 i'm an xer you're a yeah i'm uh i'm
00:12:18.660
like the oldest millennial i'm like the first millennial with gray hair
00:12:22.280
so on my turn now so you grew up in florida yeah yeah so floridian your whole life that's right
00:12:28.440
see i'm a buckeye too although i left at 18 military and then moved around like i told you
00:12:31.940
so florida your whole life yeah college where florida state university florida state fun school
00:12:37.020
party school number one or number two party school all the years i was there arizona state asu that's
00:12:43.780
the party school yeah i i always wondered uh if that was just because there wasn't anything else to
00:12:48.460
do in arizona there was no beach there was no anything but yeah florida state we uh it was a
00:12:53.200
good time they would tuck a diploma under your windshield if you drove slowly through the town
00:12:57.720
during the years i was that's far more academically rigorous now but the the two words i was most
00:13:03.180
allergic to were attendance policy uh i was the guy who liked to like read the book write the paper
00:13:09.680
i would i would cram for the finals but i was i was not very studious but then when i went to law
00:13:15.100
school at the college of william and mary i really had to buckle down law school is a hundred pages of
00:13:21.580
reading a night you really got to study it you really got to know it the the uh punishment that
00:13:27.400
comes to the soul when you have to stand up in front of 300 of your classmates and get grilled by
00:13:32.680
the professor and be made look like an idiot was a strong driver for me to be very prepared in law
00:13:38.080
school so i uh i did well there and it was it was 2007 and you were in those rough like obama economy
00:13:47.520
yeah you know wait bubble yeah i took a hit i owned some houses yeah yeah know that it was it was a rough
00:13:54.380
rough time i mean the war and then leading into the obama economy uh it was dicey and so i went back to
00:14:01.860
my hometown practiced law for a little bit what's specific did you have like something you wanted to do
00:14:06.480
yeah yeah i i really wanted to be a developer actually the thought of building communities but
00:14:11.120
the economy was so bad i was like man i gotta figure out something else and so when it's rough
00:14:18.680
and you're a starting out lawyer you have to find people who are like highly litigious with other
00:14:24.700
people's money and what i found were homeowners associations homeowners associations were terrific
00:14:31.020
clients because they were willing to litigate about whether or not the grass was two inches high
00:14:35.660
and get me started on those hoas matt you know i live in california okay and i've been behind the
00:14:41.120
gates with hoas right up until literally this week and we'll talk about that if we have time in this
00:14:45.640
episode because i just moved my own property no hoa i hate hoas but so i represented them and sued
00:14:53.480
good now i don't like you and i uh look it was a great it was they were people who were like very
00:14:59.240
contentious and spending other people's money so i sued the government uh when they would violate
00:15:04.400
transparency laws i've got some of the biggest attorney fee awards in florida history uh for
00:15:08.840
sunshine law enforcement actions and then i i would represent defense contractors because that was
00:15:15.060
the community uh industry in that part of florida with the largest geographic air force base in the
00:15:20.560
world eglin air force eglin yeah yeah in my area so i did that and then a seat came open in the
00:15:26.240
state legislature i was 26 years old i didn't think i would win uh the election but i thought you
00:15:31.040
know if i run then at least everybody has to talk about some of the stuff that i care about
00:15:35.560
and i knocked on 8 000 doors and i won by less than 600 votes whoa and went and served uh eight
00:15:42.140
you know six years in the state house and chaired the criminal justice committee and the finance and
00:15:46.800
tax committee nice loved it my father and i were gonna say your pops is in politics was he in way
00:15:51.380
before you jumped in was that influential school board and then he was the school superintendent then he
00:15:56.020
became a state senator and we were the first father son team to serve in the state senate and state
00:16:00.260
house together he's now back in state politics in uh in the state senate i'm super proud so wait a
00:16:05.620
minute your pops was a state senator yes and you were a state legislator yeah when the full body had
00:16:10.440
to meet right there's pops there's you right and what we did not always agree i bet like what if you
00:16:16.120
were like dad i'm voting this way medicaid expansion was something that that was a real source of
00:16:20.880
disagreement we had and the one ace in the hole i had was mom would always take my side
00:16:25.880
and uh my parents are matt you're not saying you're a mama's boy on a man podcast like this
00:16:31.240
are you total mama's boy i am a total and there's there's there's no shame in it i true i think uh
00:16:37.460
you know we all may get judged one day by how well we treated our mother and so i'm i'm i'm i'm i talk to
00:16:44.020
my mom almost every day still good good for you my parents a little different so we'll leave that out
00:16:48.840
but anywho so you do six years in the state house yeah and then you decide i'm gonna go bigger office
00:16:55.140
and whose plan was that yours dad's accommodation it was no it actually it was not something i was
00:17:01.480
expecting to do uh i was thinking about running for the state senate next my dad was uh was looking to
00:17:07.840
get out of public life and then my congressman of 15 years just announced his retirement with only a
00:17:15.040
few days before filing and a lot of people in the community were so enthusiastic in 2016
00:17:20.420
for trump's victory they thought he's going to need some ride or die buddies up there and i knew trump
00:17:26.140
from florida days he was a major player in the business community in florida for a long time oh
00:17:32.100
yeah we're developing yeah and so meet him before you yeah okay so you did it was to hang with him
00:17:37.540
when he was the apprentice don he was a big time fundraiser for republican candidates and so he would
00:17:43.500
always host big events for state legislators to come and he would write big uh you know six seven
00:17:50.420
figure checks to help us win our campaigns for republicans against the democrats and so that's
00:17:56.420
how we knew him as a donor and even in those days everybody was trying to be in the whatever picture he
00:18:03.120
was going to tweet because if if trump would tag you in a tweet your follower count would go up
00:18:08.500
listen when did you first get twitter when i got tweeted by him i first got on in i had facebook in
00:18:13.880
08 twitter in 09 but when the president did you ever have a myspace i did for a hot second though i never
00:18:19.120
built this is the generational component right you didn't have it i got it i got it you didn't have
00:18:22.700
myspace i didn't have five friends to put in my top five that's why i didn't have myspace so
00:18:27.660

00:19:49.920

i would have nobody if this was 2022 yes okay this was 2002 all right so the democrats weren't
00:20:01.020
hating donald yet i wouldn't have suspected democrats i would have suspected a competing
00:20:04.440
news organization well that's true we were the only ones that covered it was a saturday and nobody sent
00:20:07.700
a crew out so i was like i want to go interview the donald i'm thinking resume put it on the reel

like because i knew the tribe and they're like uh mr trump has to go dan sorry i'm like no no he
00:20:26.400
gave me his word i'm like can you wait and he literally looks at them and again you could say
00:20:30.280
it was ego because he wanted to be on tv but this was local abc affiliate nobody's going to see it but
00:20:34.900
a few thousand in the palm springs coachella valley area this isn't national media yeah but he made his
00:20:40.040

00:20:53.880

here look this is a chance for you to be a part of of our conversation and uh and just our uh our
00:22:42.360
friendship yeah i'm glad that you invited me to do this because the talk shows as you all know if
00:22:46.680
you've been watching them they are straight political talk shows and we do cover obviously
00:22:51.180
different things happening in in culture um and everything else like obviously we just had this
00:22:55.820
horrific tragic air collision accident in dc and the talk shows are going to cover natural disasters
00:23:01.380
disasters like that government affairs a little you know entertainment once in a while hollywood
00:23:06.960
uh musicians people when they get into politics when they shouldn't so i think you and i have those
00:23:11.540
types of guests on those shows and those talk shows at 8 9 p.m that's what that's for this is for us to
00:23:18.420
not be the anchorman newsmen you see doing those political talk shows and just have an hour to maybe
00:23:25.320
bring some of our friends and family on you and i get to know each other more bs about stuff that
00:23:29.520
is pop culture that is politics that's whatever that's what i'm hoping this hour is every week
00:23:33.620
we can just do whatever the hell we want that we're not allowed to do on the talk shows
00:23:37.720
i don't even think that's one of the rules but let's dive into a boss let's dive into a topic that's
00:23:42.940
been in the center of political debate sure i've ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine these are two
00:23:48.800
treatments that became a hot topic during the covet 19 pandemic remember when president trump advocated
00:23:53.820
for these exact treatments he stressed the importance of having multiple options in our medical arsenal
00:23:59.220
well here we are in 2025 getting access to meds is still a battle many doctors are hesitant to
00:24:04.800
prescribe them and most pharmacies won't even carry them that's why i'm telling you about all family

00:24:47.780
i used hydroxychloroquine and it was not easy to find two or three times i had to go it felt like a
00:24:54.340
drug deal well you were in florida though yeah but i mean they wouldn't do it in california matt
00:24:58.260
i went to a cvs with a freaking prescription for ivermectin and they said what's it for and my doctor
00:25:04.160
who's maybe been on your show definitely on the network dr brian tyson told me if you tell them
00:25:08.340
covid they won't give it to you tell them you flew back from ghana somewhere in africa whatever
00:25:12.240
and it's for a stomach bug they'll give you go admit so i literally i literally told them i said
00:25:16.240
back from ghana and they're like fine we'll give it to you yeah what the it's you know it it is so
00:25:21.460
weird what happened during covid where people just completely lost confidence in what they were
00:25:27.100
hearing from the government and now these investigations i was involved in on the
00:25:31.220
judiciary committee you see where people inside the biden white house were pressuring social
00:25:37.540
media companies to censor true information it wasn't like it was a conspiracy theory or false
00:25:43.740
it was stuff that they knew was true at the time they just didn't like it and this network we've got
00:25:50.080
tremendous investigative reporters here by the way uh pearson sharp uh a number of these packages
00:25:55.580
that run all day on la and really get into what's going on and and we get hammered with like the
00:26:02.040
disinformation scarlet letter oh trust me and it's almost like it's got it's got a life cycle first
00:26:07.640
it's disinformation then it's russian propaganda then it's true but democrats were telling you it all
00:26:13.900
along and then it's harmful and we should go and prosecute republicans for it that just feels like the
00:26:19.680
life cycle of information just wait baby i was here for all of it i mean they literally took millions
00:26:24.760
of dollars away from this network uh got us kicked off cable and satellite carriers for those exact
00:26:30.160
things you mentioned they use those stupid ass words like misinformation disinformation they called
00:26:34.620
me trump and putin's puppet like i was lying about covid nope the lockdowns nope i mean we just
00:26:41.540
don't know hoax the the laptop remember when they were the laptop matt that there were the russian
00:26:46.960
bounties in afghanistan that trump was allowing and then the whole thing turned out to be some crazy
00:26:51.920
urban legend i i we are in a weird time and i don't know if what trump is bringing us into with more
00:26:59.560
economic success and more transparency into the presidency you know we'll have some unifying forcing
00:27:05.160
function but you you look at some of these these people and they have completely lost their minds
00:27:10.000
and they live in this state i mean this state oh just spending the last few weeks here getting
00:27:16.100
to know the wonderful folks at on the one america news team uh the herring family just the most amazing
00:27:21.380
people you ever imagined but because you only met the republican ones yeah like what what why would
00:27:26.620
you surrender a state this beautiful and lovely to the homeless and the illegal immigrants why would
00:27:34.040
the normal people here tolerate that i i admit it my wife and i were thinking about bailing the herrings
00:27:40.360
know it my family knew it we were pushing hard all last year to maybe build a home studio in florida
00:27:46.580
alabama texas tennessee somewhere with less you just like threw it through a dart at some red states no
00:27:52.900
we looked at the areas i got friends in franklin outside of nashville i love that area but it's turned
00:27:57.080
blue now because during covid a bunch of new yorkers and la folks screwed up franklin and folks know what i'm
00:28:02.320
talking about that live there florida we loved um up where you're at destined in the panhandle over by
00:28:08.120
uh gulf shores alabama very affordable beautiful beaches we were considering there texas i like the
00:28:13.040
ranch style life more affordable but in the end we talked about it and we talked with the herrings who
00:28:17.400
own this network and we went you know what why should we leave california's beautiful screw all these
00:28:22.960
wackos screw the democrats that run 98 of sacramento and we've only got a little bit of a voice i'm staying
00:28:28.680
put i'm putting down roots and so we just bought a place and we're staying put now i know you're
00:28:33.340
going to stay a floridian and go back and forth because you're like i'm not that crazy dan well
00:28:36.800
no i'm a florida man through and through but i have pity i'm a buckeye though i was born in ohio i still
00:28:41.900
love ohio but i like california a little better ohio is a whole lot of flat land but it's the heartland
00:28:49.020
of america matt did you do clam bakes when you were there no we never did we did a lot of barbecuing
00:28:54.300
um i was up in the northwest corner what do you do when it's freezing outside do you just like
00:28:59.040
playing at fun no you bundle up with snowmobile ice fish snowball fights make snowmen go skiing and
00:29:07.040
snowboarding up in northern michigan ice fish you can do stuff in the worst way to i fish with like
00:29:12.180
a margarita boy and like you know they're like ginger wears a bikini and it's just a great time
00:29:18.900
ice fishing you're all like bundled up yeah like hoping to catch some in a little shanty
00:29:23.540
with your whiskey or a hot toddy i mean you got a little portable heater it's not bad whiskey in a
00:29:31.020
port we just that describes several homeless encampments we're going like the greater san
00:29:36.420
diego area we we do have those let me tell you um and oan and where we're doing this podcast is in
00:29:41.900
san diego california so get used to it because a bunch of the whack jobs from northern california up in
00:29:47.600
san francisco and la moved down here during covid and our mayor our city council our county commish
00:29:55.500
used to have a one seat advantage and the mayor was a republican in the last four years we switched
00:30:01.720
all blue so san diego now is slowly unfortunately is it is it is it the childless cat ladies that are
00:30:07.200
getting elected or no no no the mayor right now todd gloria um is a uh young hispanic gay man who i
00:30:15.880
think pretty much believes in socialism so he wants to take all of our tax money that's a dei bingo
00:30:20.740
card yeah extraordinary well when you look at the previous guy kevin who was a republican he was a
00:30:26.100
little wishy-washy not a you know you and i love calling out those rhinos that don't have balls
00:30:30.460
right because you had to deal with plenty of them in the house romney republican kevin wasn't ballsy
00:30:35.080
enough i think though um you have kevin kiley now which was one of our state reps he's now a
00:30:40.460
congressman kevin's good he's a very yeah so nobody confuses the kevins it's kevin faulkner was our
00:30:45.140
mayor but again i think he people worry too much about placating the other side and weak people in
00:30:52.100
our party and it's like when are they gonna like you grow a pair and be a firebrand and that's my
00:30:57.560
next question to you where the hell that come from did ginger think of it did you know this your
00:31:01.700
producer no i had firebrand come from i had to write a book uh because i had had so many terrific
00:31:08.160
stories on the front lines of the maga revolution um great experiences with djt and a lot of the
00:31:15.780
folks who've helped make him successful and uh i i was into about chapter like four or five of the
00:31:22.500
book writing it and it just came to me that the great title would be would be firebrand because that
00:31:27.740
is what trump has allowed he has paved the way for a style of politics and governing that uh people
00:31:36.000
like an eli crane a lauren bobert um uh you know someone like a brandon gill who just got elected
00:31:42.200
love all the people you're making uh interview you had with him on corey mills stoobes mpg tons of
00:31:47.860
people you but that that people i love because of trump i mean it does people like that get vanquished
00:31:53.980
they don't get any real power in the traditional mores of washington and so i wanted to celebrate that
00:32:00.980
firebrand spirit and so then it became a little bit a part of the brand and nice we had a we had a good
00:32:05.120
time i think the majority of american people don't understand whether you love him hate him or
00:32:09.120
you're indifferent on trump you don't understand what he brought to you as the american people
00:32:15.340
he brought this openness this transparency this bluntness of elected leaders that will tell you
00:32:21.480
the damn truth and not worry about feelings let's be real i was having a conversation with the wife
00:32:25.640
driving in today when we learned about the tragedy last night with the plane crash and we're talking
00:32:29.780
about dei hires and all that crap and she's like there's a perfect example politicians
00:32:34.540
have put people's feelings ahead of our safety in the skies our safety in our military the education
00:32:40.360
of our kids and i am sick and tired as trump would say of this bullshit and thank god for you and the
00:32:46.080
other folks who've come forward and you know i tried my hand i ran for congress once not successful
00:32:50.400
i thought about getting in there because i kind of thought of myself as a firebrand campaign
00:32:54.060
nothing it sucks politics is horrible you didn't like it so no there is the best part i'm joking
00:32:59.940
the little meetings the best part is going out and talking to the people when you got to deal with
00:33:04.420
trying to dial for dollars and talk to donors when you got to go to meetings with powerful people and
00:33:08.860
kiss ass and kiss the ring i don't do that you know you don't do that the best part was going i did a
00:33:13.080
ton of it talking to i don't like that i don't i don't like kissing ass oh i listen to everybody's
00:33:17.160
crazy stories regular people i will not powerful people that they tell me i have to when the california
00:33:23.060
gop or your county rnc or gop whatever it is tells you you got to go meet this person or you won't get
00:33:28.440
anointed you got to do this you got to kiss the ring and i'm like i don't kiss except my wife and
00:33:33.640
my daughter okay would you like the pinky ring and the ring finger or just the ring finger so i
00:33:39.320
didn't fare very well if you were a rotary club president when i first ran for statehouse i would
00:33:43.580
wash your car every tuesday if i had to if i thought i could get me a rotary this is why you were the good
00:33:48.480
politician to get going and then when trump opened the door you were able to step in and be that ballsy
00:33:53.360
firebrand i'm the guy who's probably better sticking to be in the ballsy anchor man and leave
00:33:57.860
politics to other isn't it isn't it kind of something i noticed as i was watching sean
00:34:02.760
duffy respond to this great job by the way but he handled it well he had command of the facts he
00:34:09.840
delivered a compelling presentation to the media and then you think well he was in the media like
00:34:15.320
this is a guy who hosted a show i thought i'd be a decent on television because i'm fair straight
00:34:20.340
honest i don't give a shit about politics trump's deal man the the not every i hope i don't have to do
00:34:26.380
episode two of the show by myself because you're like the next secretary of the air force or
00:34:30.480
something but call me pete call heck seth call me maybe but like pete was a media guy right
00:34:38.820
monica crowley going into the admin you bring up such a great point because think about it a lot of
00:34:43.000
these people have done it so somebody had to go the other direction so that was this conversation
00:34:46.720
with tonight we started ripping media and censorship how are you going to avoid if you're in political
00:34:51.680
office or you're an appointee by trump or the next administration hopefully it's jd think about this
00:34:56.540
you get lied about and and what you say gets skewed on here and on the big screen by the 99 percent
00:35:03.320
liberal media so wouldn't it make sense that if you have somebody that's got 32 years of media experience
00:35:08.320
you'd know how to look at those bastards out there and go no no no you're not doing that like trump does
00:35:13.120
because trump's been the apprentice a media mogul for years and so why not hire people that have that
00:35:19.360
media background but then also experience i hate listening to joy reading others today rip on pete
00:35:24.480
and i'm like uh do you have any medals did you serve in combat did you pull guys out of blown up
00:35:30.440
humvees have you served in combat shot at bad guys and taken shots at you you've not so shut your damn
00:35:36.440
mouth because the man has experience in combat and oh by the way yeah he was a tv host i think he's
00:35:42.320
gonna be a great sec def i'd sign back up right now at 50 if they needed me you know but it doesn't pay
00:35:46.520
enough trump says he's gonna be the next general macarthur i mean again like you just said you better
00:35:53.280
have some media prowess if you think you're going to take any job in high-ranking government because
00:35:59.160
this media especially if you're on the conservative center-right is going to chew you up and spit you
00:36:04.180
out unless you can do it to them so some people know how like they learn exactly how to play the
00:36:12.160
youtube algorithm right where oh they never say anything that goes over a specific line and they're
00:36:17.480
able to really be successful i think i broke that rule about five times tonight so yeah but i i think
00:36:21.980
that that well that's not the deal here this is a different this is a mission-based platform where we
00:36:26.120
work at one american news it really is it's a it's a mission-based platform and i i honestly believe
00:36:30.920
the organizing principle of this place is to save the country and i don't think that's the case
00:36:36.020
in media broadly to say the least no and you've learned that just in a few weeks knowing mr herring
00:36:41.820
our boss as he likes to be called mr h here this guy's 83 he came up from nothing out of louisiana
00:36:47.040
just like me i came up out of nothing out of ohio uh he's made his fortune i'm still trying
00:36:51.500
um but i mean look from the lost off a band of chilean gang members with a knife that broke into his
00:36:58.840
house within the last few months yeah did you know that when he was explaining to me that i was like
00:37:03.440
what'd you do when you found out that the chilean gang had entered your home and was robbing you he
00:37:07.580
grabbed a ceremonial buoy knife that's all he had he couldn't get to a gun in time so he grabbed one
00:37:11.820
of these it's like on a you know little wood placard thing like we have up here holding a
00:37:15.300
buoy knife we don't throw men like that anymore no and mr h is like five eight five nine hundred and
00:37:21.600
sixty five hundred seventy pounds not a big big guy but by golly you break into his house him and his
00:37:25.680
wife are there and and you grab what you can grab and he grabbed your ground here can you shoot
00:37:30.420
people if they break into your house a castle break into mine well i mean like you hear these
00:37:35.700
stories i'll show you matt in some of these left-wing jurisdictions you do hear these stories where
00:37:40.300
the person breaks in someone exercises self-defense and then the law goes after the person defending
00:37:46.860
themselves we don't put up with that nonsense i know florida florida is home is my castle yep you
00:37:52.480
come into my castle we don't have the castle doctrine we don't have a standard what we do have is and
00:37:56.120
this is what i've been told by multiple county sheriffs who follow the constitution unlike gavin
00:38:00.560
hair gel newsom and the dipshit democrats there will be no negative comments about hair gel on
00:38:04.740
this i know you and i do have some decent hair um anyway i remember a story covering it i don't know
00:38:11.960
if it was 12 15 years ago whatever but it was local news here in cali it might have been in fresno
00:38:15.640
or palm springs it was somewhere in the state i remember the city but i remember a bad guy was on
00:38:20.780
the roof broke through somebody's skylight whatever injured himself and then the guy either beat him
00:38:27.540
up shot him whatever that guy sued the homeowner had to pay his medical bills because the attorney
00:38:35.060
and the judge agreed with his attorney that he was a homeless guy looking for some food and for some
00:38:39.700
stuff to help his family and that mean homeowner didn't need to beat him up shoot him stab him whatever
00:38:44.420
he did to him i forget the details you know it was years ago and i've got lots of stories in my head
00:38:47.900
but that's a california story for you i swear to god the freaking homeowner got turned into the bad
00:38:52.960
guy instead of the bad guy that broke into his damn home so it can happen so here's what i'm gonna
00:38:57.240
teach you because i know you're only out here a few days a week and you're gonna stay floridian
00:39:00.780
but if you ever have to put someone down that is breaking into your home when the cops arrive
00:39:07.320
simply say i feared for my life then be quiet and say call my attorney don't say anything else in the
00:39:14.540
state of california bro don't say anything else they'll use it against you i think in florida you're
00:39:19.140
legally allowed to take the police officers who show up for a round of beers under under our state
00:39:24.900
in texas when this stuff's happened you see them they have like a ticker tape parade for them
00:39:28.000
like the sheriff goes out they look at the facts they call the d.a. and go looks like a clean shoot
00:39:32.300
the guy broke in the d.a. goes great do the presser call him a hero call it a day and they come out
00:39:36.580
and go the hero put two in the chest one in the head the bad guy's dead we're not charging matter of fact
00:39:40.500
he's a hero i've seen florida cops say the same thing so people are going to hear this podcast
00:39:44.840
and and see this show from ohio from everywhere real america yeah and they're just going to say
00:39:51.180
well why don't they change it then if that's the way it is there and they have these problems they
00:39:55.640
don't understand why don't they make the change and and it almost feels like the people here have
00:40:00.260
a certain psychosis or stockholm syndrome where you become sympathetic that's a great point with
00:40:05.840
your captor stockholm syndrome and and i want you to explain that because i do see movements
00:40:10.860
emerging right uh my buddy rick grunnell has the safe california movement you've had the recall
00:40:16.340
folks on your program uh talking love rick by the way he's the only guy that stuck up for me
00:40:21.720
during my campaign in 2018 thank you rick grunnell when a bunch of not just liberal lefties but
00:40:28.880
republican rhinos questioned my service they were accusing me of stolen valor then some very
00:40:35.820
liberal those would be fighting words oh trust me and then some liberal gay guys from palm springs
00:40:40.300
since rick's of the gay community rick was nice and stood up for me to them because i held an event
00:40:45.760
a fundraising event at a restaurant in palm springs california that two gay gentlemen owned and then
00:40:51.340
the night after i held it there was a huge like all over social media don't ever go to wangs in the
00:40:56.780
desert screw those owners they're horrible they put a trump supporting all the gay guys no longer
00:41:01.500
wanted to go to wangs yes that's what it was called not really the story is anyway so some
00:41:10.940
guy but wait but wait there's more late night commercial but wait matt there's more then two
00:41:15.320
dudes in scream masks this is true there's the videos out there two dudes in scream masks one fat
00:41:21.160
one tall and skinny went up and spray painted the old red cool asian doors of wangs with something like
00:41:27.200
uh trump supporter go home evil or devil they just put some trash on the doors because these two
00:41:33.320
people let me have a fundraiser there because they supported my campaign was it an asian place
00:41:37.460
i hope yeah it's while wangs the pig yes it's a thruster it was a restaurant not a club matt i also
00:41:42.560
it's a restaurant because like the asian immigrants who they love trump they love trump and they love
00:41:48.740
america and they protect their problem right they do like high strong asian immigrants might be one
00:41:54.180
of the great hopes there's two white guys that owned it okay well all right the husband well
00:41:58.320
that explains why they were able to get away with the spray painting because actual asians would not
00:42:02.020
have put on no they went out there with like a broom and then smacking them all right so late at night
00:42:05.140
there's video out there somewhere look it up but back to this point about whether or not california
00:42:08.820
is savable it's a good question do you think it is i don't know elect me governor i'll fix it
00:42:14.020
yeah but i think you would have to take over in some sort of military coup for that to happen i think
00:42:19.500
i think the dan ball junta is just as likely to be successful as the dan ball campaign because
00:42:25.580
the newsom locked these people up for years and they obeyed and they did they they right i didn't
00:42:32.620
obey recalled and they voted for him anyway i know we tried to recall him twice in the last six this
00:42:38.140
would be like prisoners voting to keep the guard in place if you didn't have to i know so 39 million
00:42:46.860
people because we went down almost a mil during his reign as tyrant here because most people either
00:42:52.380
during covid or owned businesses you saw elon left we lost him and when you go down a million while
00:42:57.820
inviting in millions of illegals which we did it's you know you didn't go down with with that with the
00:43:03.500
demographic of illegal aliens no we became a super sanctuary there we lost a million americans and a
00:43:08.540
lot of businesses during covid i saw a stat that said we lost 33 000 small businesses and most of them
00:43:15.340
are restaurants now you know who owns them minorities but wait a minute gavin newson democrats
00:43:19.500
love minorities california loves minorities then why did you kill 33 000 businesses you moron so that
00:43:25.580
there's this recall effort underway now yep and i look at it i'm like very skeptical it's the third
00:43:31.100
time the rule the reason i'm skeptical is if you if you weren't willing to vote against this guy when
00:43:36.300
he locked you in your homes right but the fact that he that that he allowed the state to be lit on fire
00:43:41.900
is the new is the new cause it's a good point i get it and and you and i discussed this off cam the
00:43:46.780
other day that you know could it be third time the charm because last time we ended up short 3.1
00:43:52.380
million votes it was 4.9 to 8 million so we need 3.1 more i know but a lot of people are thinking
00:43:57.660
because of the fires that they could pull three more mill because i believe and correct me if i'm
00:44:02.460
wrong there's about 3 million in la but la county has 9 million so i think there's enough pissed off
00:44:07.820
people in la county to vote against him on this one again that's a theory like the time of the
00:44:13.100
election do you think that the consciousness of california by next november when he's out
00:44:17.980
because he's done then it's going to come down to kamala and me i'm joking because they say
00:44:22.300
kamala's gonna run i know i think you're gonna get kamala and i think something comes out of pelosi
00:44:28.140
world no something out of pelosi world maybe like a pelosi relative we can't have pelosi protege
00:44:34.380
i love this state for its beauty you'll have you'll have the you'll have the pretty boy uh
00:44:38.700
contest with uh eric swalwell maybe uh he he could i could see him as a potential candidate yeah it's
00:44:44.700
a great state when you look at it i'm talking about aesthetics this is a beautiful state oh but
00:44:50.300
natural resources here yeah the weather it's been run millions of patriotic americans here uh out of
00:44:57.580
the 39 million 6.1 are registered republicans i got to think there's still millions more that aren't
00:45:03.260
just registered that have conservative values like you and i up north i mean above san francisco up
00:45:08.780
north north world country central valley all is bakersfield and fresno and all that that's
00:45:13.500
conservative and then you have pockets in southern california where we live san diego big military and
00:45:18.380
veteran crowd and then orange county was a lot of conservative money but if you look they've been
00:45:22.380
the democrats have been good at chipping away at those we lost a couple of house seats in california
00:45:28.220
flipped to democrat even though we flipped a couple to republican so there's always that battle here but i
00:45:33.020
feel like and i agree with you there's a little bit of stockholm syndrome because i don't know how
00:45:37.020
anybody in their right mind could keep saying i want gavin to stay in charge of this amazing
00:45:41.900
fifth largest economy in the world and this guy when he came in six years ago matt we had a and in fact
00:45:47.820
check me we had i won't say the exact number we had billions in surplus i don't know if it was 20 30 40
00:45:53.180
50 60 we had billions in surplus we were in the black the other day they said we're 62 billion in the hole
00:45:58.780
so if i'm doing the math over 100 billion he lost and wasted in six years and you don't want to recall
00:46:04.540
his ass what's wrong with you california i think he's like suburban white lady catnip i think they'll
00:46:11.660
vote for him no matter what you know what that makes sense because think about the people that voted for
00:46:16.220
bill clinton and they would literally say because he was sexy or had a cool voice or some crap i remember
00:46:20.780
that back in the 90s and i'm like who cares what he looks like and sounds like they're like oh we love his
00:46:26.220
arkansas swagger and blah blah blah and so they voted for him two times same with gavin this guy
00:46:32.220
is a train didn't gavin like have some scandal where he was banging his own campaign man bro wife
00:46:38.060
uh it was his best friend okay who was managing the campaign and then he decided to his yeah a little
00:46:46.380
stupid on the wife but then he had to come and fess up to it and then in san francisco they were just
00:46:50.700
like no they still voted for him that seems reasonable yeah so i'm glad that's why matt talked me out of
00:46:55.100
running because i thought maybe i should throw my hat in the ring because i think being a veteran
00:46:59.660
being common sense um being transparent and honest with people once i ever worked here what's that
00:47:05.500
once i ever yeah no kidding when's that worked in california you're the one that said you know
00:47:09.100
i don't think it's doable for any republican candidate to win this state because so many people
00:47:14.140
are brainwashed into thinking that the liberal viewpoint and the way of doing things in this
00:47:19.900
state because it's more radical and again i don't live in new york but i live in a lot of different
00:47:23.500
states i gotta feel like california is the most radical overall than all of them i know oregon
00:47:29.420
and washington those are close second and third in new york but it's such a beautiful place like in
00:47:34.460
the bible try to enjoy it later here in the bible god had to send all of these plagues on the pharaohs
00:47:40.780
to get them to get with the program and eventually they do and i'm just kind of wondering how many plagues
00:47:46.140
have to hit california like you've had the plague of the illegals yep you've had the plague of the homeless
00:47:51.100
homeless now you've had the plague of these of the drugs uh wildfires buyers and it's just like
00:47:56.140
well okay it's locusts next do you know there's a poop app up in the bay area right there's a poop
00:48:00.220
app there's an app you can put on your phone if you're a san francisco resident to know about the
00:48:04.540
poop there's so many homeless people defecating in the streets and leaving their needles and stuff
00:48:11.340
that the city of san francisco had to hire a crew well in the rich area like they're out cleaning up
00:48:16.940
pooping needles every day bro in san francisco a city that used to be gorgeous i don't even my
00:48:21.820
wife when we have to go up to simi valley to see my buddy uh taryn butler at taryn tactical do some
00:48:25.980
shooting practice with my guns uh she won't let me drive through la she i'm like maybe it takes 20
00:48:30.300
minutes longer go around that crap hole she makes me drive around la she won't even go in it she hates it
00:48:36.300
it is it is amazing to think about and it's amazing that people tolerate it and live in it and you
00:48:42.460
wonder what it says about people's willingness to allow their own human condition to array sheep
00:48:47.980
they're sheep that's it democrats have taught millions of americans in this state particular
00:48:53.340
to be sheep and so i hope and pray there'll be more of you and i from the younger generations
00:48:59.420
so we can flip the script but gavin was president for sure because i think that that's what there's
00:49:03.820
yeah he is because he might be the last straight white guy with a chance in the democratic party who
00:49:11.340
they got the bullpen who's on deck well for the most part they hunt straight white guys like the
00:49:15.740
straight white guys who had power in congress were the ones that the squad and the justice democrats
00:49:20.300
would go after and take out suit ladies like i would joke with these guys who are in that kind
00:49:25.180
of last generation of of relevance in the democratic party the adam shifts the jerry nadlers and i'd be
00:49:33.420
like guys trust me it's not going to be us that comes after you and devours you it's going to be your
00:49:38.620
own i love when they eat their own that's what's you're seeing that right now because they don't
00:49:42.060
know how to handle that 10 more million americans voted for trump over your dei vp hire so i think
00:49:48.380
they're freaking out because that's who really goes after each other just like we go after our own but
00:49:52.700
for different reasons well we're trying to be a rudder okay it it is the most disappointing to me
00:49:58.540
when our own side just just bails on us but you know that's why it's fun that we've got this terrific
00:50:03.420
platform to be able to animate voices and that's the other thing i've really enjoyed about these
00:50:08.540
last last few weeks here at one american news the value of taking somebody's story and putting it
00:50:15.260
on our digital platforms on our television platforms it it really creates an amplification
00:50:21.020
and it's it's a power it's a different power think about the stories you've told in only three weeks
00:50:25.260
right and just in the last three weeks that i've done we've got to put on uh pro-life protesters that
00:50:30.700
were peaceful that just got pardoned by trump that their lives were ruined because they wanted to save
00:50:34.460
babies lives like bevelyn williams she comes on the show we allow her to tell her story do you see a
00:50:39.260
cnn or msnbc or anybody telling those stories hell no but but you'll find this now as you stay here
00:50:44.860
longer we hope you get to tell the truth you get to cover stories and talk with people and do whatever
00:50:49.580
you want mr h is like just don't you know get us thrown in prison other than that say and do an
00:50:54.780
