The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz - Episode 100 - Comey Torched in Senate Judiciary Hearing. Former Twitter CEO Wants Firing Squad for Capitalists. Subway, Eat...Fake Bread？

00:00:00.000 you ever watch this guy on television you all were not telling the truth and you should not

00:00:06.100 be trusted congressman matt gates thank you for what you did for your country today be offended

00:00:09.760 with the democratic whip not house republicans like a machine matt gates

00:00:13.940 welcome to the 100th episode of hot takes i'm congressman matt gates thank you so much to

00:00:23.120 our listeners who've shared our content and encouraged others to subscribe we've grown

00:00:28.540 a fantastic audience well over a million the total spins on the content and i am grateful that we have

00:00:35.880 this direct way to get around the fake news you know in my book firebrand i wrote a chapter enemy

00:00:42.260 of the people about the way in which the media tries to reshape what's going on so that they can

00:00:48.780 try to influence events pursuant to their doctrine or perspective and so the more platforms we have

00:00:55.700 like uh podcasts you know social media to communicate directly the more we want to take

00:01:02.440 advantage of those as the great america first movement but i do want to take this opportunity

00:01:07.720 to ask a few questions about the show and hope that you'll respond in the comments section and

00:01:12.880 we'll check them out question number one is it time for us to bring on guests you know this has

00:01:18.560 largely been a 20 minute format give or take a few minutes depending on the news of the day

00:01:23.120 that i'm able to provide my perspective but it might be interesting to our listeners to have

00:01:28.320 experts on people from the media commentators fellow members of congress and then we could

00:01:35.640 do some specials like that so let me know if you think what hot takes needs is another voice and

00:01:41.360 another contribution to the information that we're looking forward to sharing on a going forward

00:01:46.500 basis second question do we need video now the way to execute a video strategy for our podcast

00:01:55.160 would likely include decreasing the frequency and then increasing what we do so maybe instead of

00:02:02.360 every day with an audio recording you know we have an audio recording at the beginning of the week

00:02:07.520 and then maybe a video at the end of the week to encapsulate the events so let us know thanks for

00:02:13.320 being here 100 episodes and a special thanks to luke ball my communications director joel valdez also

00:02:20.600 a great member of our comms team they put this product together each and every weekday we're so excited

00:02:26.680 to have their talents able to showcase in this project as well that said we love having you let's talk

00:02:33.480 about the news president trump may have broken presidential debates the presidential debate commission coming

00:02:40.440 out and saying that now they believe there need to be additional controls whatever that means and

00:02:46.200 they're discussing ways to modify the format they went out of their way to praise chris wallace

00:02:51.180 i think that chris wallace was uh far too active as the moderator you know it's one thing to try to

00:02:57.480 identify what subjects are there to be covered it's quite another for him to be like shouting over the

00:03:02.280 candidates gentlemen gentlemen please i'm the moderator you know i i sort of felt like that was

00:03:07.240 not something that enhanced the discussion at all and if you go back and listen to monday's episode

00:03:14.440 of hot takes you know there was some advice i gave both the candidates neither took them and if either

00:03:20.840 had taken it i think they would have more clearly been the winner right i talked about the need for

00:03:26.220 the debate not to devolve into two old white dudes in their 70s though the president's quite young at

00:03:32.060 heart um kind of complaining about the worst elements of the status quo and blaming each other for them

00:03:37.740 you know instead what we need is vision and i think that the president did the best job of that talking

00:03:43.100 about the onboarding of 10.4 million jobs but but even maybe some loftier rhetoric i think would be helpful

00:03:50.060 to the president and i also said if the president wants to showcase joe biden's lack of cogency

00:03:56.460 he has to give biden the room to talk and demonstrate that like the only person that's

00:04:02.100 going to create a joe biden meltdown is joe biden and if you give him the opportunity he will there

00:04:08.300 are plenty of cases where you know chris wallace saved biden but also a case or two i think where

00:04:13.120 president trump saved him so that was the advice i gave on monday it wasn't taken put me on the debate

00:04:19.060 prep team mr president i'm ready ready to help ready to serve my country ready to serve my president

00:04:24.980 but now the commission on presidential debates i'm just wondering like what controls are they

00:04:29.700 contemplating like is there going to be a mute button has donald trump been so dominant as kind

00:04:35.700 of like the alpha male in the room that now they have to quite literally de-platform him from the

00:04:41.340 presidential debates with a mute button i mean that twitter's tried to mute him facebook's tried to

00:04:46.480 mute him the mainstream media has tried to mute him so i guess it should be no surprise if the

00:04:51.060 commission on presidential debates employs a tool like that i just think donald trump walked in that

00:04:55.720 room there weren't many people there it's him it's biden's chris wallace and he was there to just kind

00:05:00.620 of like tell him what was up and how this country has to be run and what is true and what is false and

00:05:07.200 you know he had obviously a few questions that he wanted to pose directly to biden and i think those

00:05:13.020 were powerful moments for the president um he would have i think been better served to give biden just a

00:05:18.640 little more leash and we'll see what those new rules are from the presidential debate commission 0.99

00:05:23.360 but quite stunning that after the president's just you know you could you can like it or hate it but it

00:05:28.440 was a dominant performance he was the dominant presence in that room and as a consequence of

00:05:33.740 that dominance uh you know washington and the establishment and the elite are reacting

00:05:38.480 we'll see what those rules are i can't imagine they're going to be there to benefit president trump

00:05:43.340 are our media overlords now telling us we must be too woke for the fourth of july media matters is a

00:05:54.820 george soros funded organization intended to attack conservatives and conservative content particularly

00:06:01.020 that which appears on television they're the ones who tried to cancel tucker carlson and they regularly

00:06:07.480 attack conservative commentators and particularly conservative investigative journalists

00:06:12.720 some of our favorite investigative journalists are at thenationalpulse.com and natalie winters has

00:06:19.240 some return fire her piece media matters new reporter justin horowitz says he's too woke for the fourth

00:06:25.820 of july this employee apparently has tweeted thousands of times and deleted some of those tweets one of the

00:06:32.740 now deleted tweets from mr horowitz says i do not celebrate the fourth of july because i am fire woke

00:06:39.820 so uh apparently fourth of july canceled by those who would want to cancel tucker carlson i guess

00:06:48.080 there's probably a lot of overlap with like the anti-fourth of july people and the anti-tucker

00:06:53.960 carlson people and those who attack uh these brave investigative reporters like those at the national

00:06:59.860 pulse who go out each and every day tell the truth about the chinese communist party and the truth

00:07:05.180 particularly about the fusion of the radical left and the media apparatus in washington dc and new york it

00:07:13.420 is just such an incestuous dynamic between these elements of the media and their left-wing brethren

00:07:21.040 in government and in politics and you know that's why i wrote the enemy of the people chapter in my book

00:07:26.700 firebrand to expose circumstances uh where you have the media not reporting on the news but trying to

00:07:33.960 make the news and now you see with you know sentiments like those from justin horowitz uh at media matters

00:07:41.620 that when they try to realign the world to their viewpoint it is not an america first viewpoint it's

00:07:48.040 an america last viewpoint and we can do better and liberate ourselves that's why great platforms like

00:07:53.760 a direct podcast and hot takes are so important 0.97

00:07:56.740 line up the capitalists and shoot them shoot them first if you're a capitalist you're naturally me 0.98

00:08:07.520 first and you don't belong in the reorganized society that the revolution is going to bring us 0.99

00:08:13.260 no these aren't my arguments these are the arguments that were published publicly by the former

00:08:20.400 ceo of twitter dick costolo and his tweet reads me first capitalists who think you can separate

00:08:27.420 society from business are going to be the first people lined up against the wall and shot in the

00:08:33.600 revolution i'll happily provide video commentary so this i guess is the peaceful protest i mean this

00:08:40.060 is you know what starts with a peaceful protest ends with the color revolution according to this

00:08:44.300 former twitter ceo and isn't it rich that when i tweeted out some weeks ago that we ought to pursue

00:08:51.100 antifa terrorists with the same vigor that we pursue middle eastern terrorists oh i was deemed as

00:08:57.840 violating the terms of twitter my tweet was labeled as you know a call to violence essentially by

00:09:06.640 the social media platform and yet here's their former ceo like straight up saying where this all ends

00:09:13.580 you know this doesn't end with some kumbaya drum circle led by the ben and jerry's crowd okay this is

00:09:20.340 the antifa thuggery amazingly funded by many of the tech billionaires and corporate elitists on the left

00:09:30.440 and i don't know like what they think is going to happen to them you know all these like corporate

00:09:35.780 america donations to all these left-wing street mob groups uh it doesn't end well this is what their plan

00:09:42.640 is line you up and shoot you i don't think that ought to be the fate of capitalism to be america

00:09:49.140 first we have to believe in the ambitions of americans and their capabilities and we have to 0.88

00:09:54.020 nurture those and reward them and the best way they're rewarded still in the world is in a market-based

00:10:00.200 system where your talent and your skill can take you to the highest prosperity that is the promise

00:10:06.220 of america and i think it is still worth fighting for and defending with everything we have

00:10:11.120 in venezuela we have new reports that the food chain is breaking the wall street journal has a

00:10:21.620 fantastic piece by john otis that will put out showing that 13 percent of children under the age of

00:10:28.780 five are literally stunted in their physical development while the nation remains oil rich

00:10:34.880 it is on the edge of an irreversible catastrophe uh basic things like you know cornmeal unavailable to

00:10:42.780 people this is the real socialism you know the the real socialism isn't the hacky sack drum circle

00:10:49.240 socialism it isn't you know having businesses just like fully operating for the public benefit rather

00:10:57.100 than for market forces it's people unable to eat and get medicine and have stability in their lives

00:11:04.620 and you know when you look at maslow's hierarchy of needs if you deprive people of that basic you know

00:11:10.420 food shelter protection there is no opportunity to advance as a society and i i think that's why

00:11:17.180 capitalism while it has its flaws while there certainly need to be governors on capitalism

00:11:22.880 it's the best system in the world and it just breaks our heart to see you know in the western

00:11:29.700 hemisphere uh folks dying as a consequence of malnutrition uh and i think that the people of

00:11:38.520 venezuela deserve far better than the government that they've gotten the problem is they voted their 1.00

00:11:43.480 way into this socialism and they're probably going to have to fight their way out of it prayers to those

00:11:49.060 who are unable to get the necessary provisions to stay alive and let it be a lesson to the rest of us

00:11:56.300 not to accept the siren call of such a dangerous system

00:12:00.260 open the schools provide social distancing use masks where appropriate have good sanitation

00:12:11.680 use swing spaces like gyms and cafeterias to ensure that the students aren't packed in too close

00:12:18.420 together and ensure that learning can continue that children don't lose the opportunity to grow and

00:12:25.400 develop in their minds as well as in their interactions with one another that was the advice

00:12:30.500 that i gave on this podcast as school season was coming to be florida took that advice governor

00:12:37.480 desantis ensuring that schools were open that parents had the opportunity and were empowered to send

00:12:43.380 their kids to school and so it's a good time to check in and see how that's gone and that's precisely

00:12:48.060 what usa today did uh jamie frazier the lead on a story that we're going to certainly share florida

00:12:55.280 schools reopened in mass but a surge in coronavirus didn't follow a usa today analysis finds and while

00:13:02.720 there have been some spikes in florida those have largely occurred among college age adults not

00:13:08.460 school children and that when you look at those ages 5 to 17 actually in florida we've seen a decline

00:13:16.080 through late september after that peak that we had statewide in july uh you had over half of florida's

00:13:23.920 parents send their students back to school according to state education officials and you know all eyes are

00:13:30.780 on florida health researchers and educational experts watch florida for cues about what works

00:13:37.100 to keep students staff and the broader community safe amid the pandemic and as you know the weeks

00:13:44.220 have ticked by schooling cases have not materialized and requests to return to remote learning have surged

00:13:51.340 in some cases and we said that would happen you know we knew that this wouldn't be right for every

00:13:56.320 family for every student and uh that certainly gives parents the ability to use those digital

00:14:03.200 tools and we've seen that surge and that actually works in synergy with trying to create that plan

00:14:08.400 within the school district where we've got the right distance and we've got the right strategy so

00:14:13.100 congratulations uh to the state of florida to governor de santis to commissioner of education

00:14:18.320 richard corcoran i think it's fantastic to see florida schools open and as a consequence of this usa today

00:14:24.240 report we may be able to have some optimism that there are lessons that we're learning in florida

00:14:30.080 successful techniques that we're using that the rest of the country could benefit from bravo to the

00:14:35.040 sunshine state subway bread is not bread in ireland the irish supreme court ruling that as a consequence of

00:14:48.240 subway's bread having five times the sugar content of normal bread that it no longer can be classified

00:14:56.720 as the staple under the food categories created in ireland so who knew when you're biting into that

00:15:03.200 fluffy light subway loaf that actually you are getting a heavy dose of sugar well i guess over there in the

00:15:11.040 land of the potato they take these things quite seriously it was a matter decided by the supreme court

00:15:16.080 sorry subway your bread is not bread anymore in the land of the leprechauns and shamrocks 0.61

00:15:26.000 jim comey was testifying in the united states senate this week oh jim comey same old comey sanctimonious

00:15:34.080 egomaniac take a listen to the tongue lashing he got from our friend senator mike lee mr comey with all due respect

00:15:41.040 you don't seem to know anything about an investigation that you ran

00:15:49.760 so so how can you now as a private citizen and former fbi director

00:15:55.520 show up and then speculate freely or regarding any alleged ties between president putin and president

00:16:03.120 trump senator cruz also going in on the former fbi director take a listen this investigation of the

00:16:08.960 president was corrupt the fbi and the department of justice were politicized and weaponized

00:16:14.960 and in my opinion there are only two possibilities that you were deliberately corrupt or woefully 0.76

00:16:20.720 incompetent and i don't believe you were incompetent

00:16:26.160 this has done severe damage to the professionals and the honorable men and women at the fbi

00:16:32.160 because law enforcement should not be used as a political weapon and that

00:16:39.280 is the legacy you have left senator josh holly got in on the action here's his exchange with comey so

00:16:45.200 you personally authorized on unprecedented surveillance on an individual associated with

00:16:51.280 the presidential campaign during that campaign's ongoing time period october of 2016 you signed off

00:16:59.680 personally on two further applications based on information from a source that you believed

00:17:05.360 correctly worked for the democratic party and the sources information it turns out was coming from a

00:17:10.640 suspected russian agent yet you did nothing to try to verify any of this information you brushed aside

00:17:18.000 the concerns of high-level national security lawyers at the department of justice how are the american

00:17:23.760 people to trust you or the fbi following abuses like this i disagree extensively with your predicate i think the fbi is an

00:17:35.120 organization that is honest competent independent and also flawed because it's made up of human beings

00:17:40.400 well i have to say i'm not i'm not necessarily worried about the fbi as a whole i'm worried about you

00:17:45.360 thanks for listening to the 100th episode of hot takes i'm congressman matt gates remember to give

00:17:51.520 me some feedback do you want to hear some guests on the next 100 episodes or maybe you'd trade the

00:17:56.960 frequency of daily audio for a little bit of video content let us know in the comments and make sure to tune

00:18:03.840 in tomorrow for more hot takes

00:18:13.760 you
