The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz - Episode 119 – FAIL： Anonymous ＂Senior Trump Official＂ Author Revealed...As Low-Level Bureaucrat. America's Economy is BACK! Girl Scouts Get a Taste of Cancel Culture.

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

00:00:06.120 be trusted congressman matt gates thank you for what you did for your country today be offended

00:00:09.780 with the democratic whip not house republicans like a machine matt gates

00:00:13.960 welcome to hot takes i'm congressman matt gates let's talk about the news well we finally know

00:00:21.880 who anonymous is was it a cabinet official no was it a senior white house official no it was a

00:00:29.620 bureaucrat off in agency land at the department of homeland security a guy called miles taylor

00:00:36.420 here's what miles taylor said to anderson cooper when confronted with the question are you anonymous

00:00:43.320 there was an op-ed there was a book by someone calling themselves anonymous are you aware of who

00:00:48.220 that is i'm not look and i that was a a parlor game that happened in washington dc of a lot of folks

00:00:55.900 trying to think of uh who that might be i've got my own thoughts about who that might be but uh

00:01:01.820 you know i'm not you're not a president and i certainly don't want to uh i i wear a mask for

00:01:07.020 two things anderson uh halloweens and uh pandemics so no so obviously miles taylor was lying then and

00:01:14.100 with a bit of panache saying he doesn't wear masks of anonymity he was then confronted by chris cuomo 0.98

00:01:21.820 just last night why should anyone continue to pay for your opinion when you're an obvious liar take a 0.90

00:01:28.820 listen all right uh first what matters most uh certainly to me you lied to us miles you were 0.97

00:01:34.300 asked in august if you were anonymous here on cnn with anderson cooper and you said no now why should

00:01:42.160 cnn keep you on the payroll after lying like that chris it's a great question and i'll just give you the

00:01:49.640 blunt truth when i published a warning i said in the book that if asked i would strenuously deny

00:01:56.600 i was the author and here's the reason because the things i said in that book were ideas that i wanted

00:02:02.960 donald trump to challenge on their merits we have seen over the course of four years that donald trump's

00:02:08.540 preference is to find personal attacks and distractions to pull people away from criticisms

00:02:14.140 of his record i wrote that work anonymously to deprive him of that opportunity and to force him

00:02:20.740 to answer the questions on their merits and i'll tell you what happened chris the end result is the

00:02:25.260 president couldn't he failed to deny what was in that book and in fact to this day the white house

00:02:30.040 has failed to challenge the narratives that were in that book or the narratives that i've explained in

00:02:35.420 my own name over the past four months speaking out against the president so when asked by anderson

00:02:41.280 whether i was anonymous during that time period i said what i was going to do i temporarily denied

00:02:46.380 it but i've always said i would ultimately come out under my own name but that said i owe anderson

00:02:51.620 cooper a beer i owe him a mea culpa and the same thing for other reporters who at that time period asked

00:02:57.860 me are you anonymous and and i said no because i wanted that work to stand on its own two legs and

00:03:04.360 deprive the president of an opportunity to do one more personal attack to distract from his record but look

00:03:09.940 i'm here tonight to say that was me and i hope people challenge me on those accounts and i hope

00:03:14.720 the white house looks back at those accounts and and looks at them and tries to actually say whether

00:03:20.120 they're true or not because there's an army of people who now come out chris who will validate them 0.86

00:03:24.280 we will go through what the white house said in response we will go through your time there

00:03:28.820 and what mattered in terms of what you were trying uh to hold off for america's collective national 0.98

00:03:34.440 security but you know what the problem is with having lied is that now you are a liar and people 0.89

00:03:39.420 will be slow to believe you when you lied about something as important as whether or not you wanted

00:03:44.140 to own this miles taylor's answer to chris cuomo is absurd the notion that he wanted to deprive

00:03:50.040 the president the ability to question the motives of the individual who was making these claims

00:03:55.600 individual bias is something that this president has been a victim of of course he has attacked peter

00:04:03.020 overstruck andrew mccabe comey's clapper these people who lied about him and who manufactured

00:04:09.780 the russia hoax and then some would say beyond that the bureaucrats who created this ukraine saga

00:04:15.880 that resulted in impeachment the president has a reasonable distrust of some of these deep state

00:04:21.080 actors and for miles taylor to be unwilling to stand behind his own claims in his op-ed seems to suggest

00:04:28.940 the frailty of the factual allegations and the likelihood that this is all made up all just to

00:04:36.300 try to raise his profile and get his next television contract what a shame and i would suggest the new

00:04:42.800 york times has a whole lot of egg on their face why would they allow someone to publish these accusations

00:04:47.960 against the president anonymously you see they they give the emperor mater of credibility of senior status

00:04:55.620 of access because when they say anonymous you don't really know who that is it really could have been 0.96

00:05:01.140 you know someone a lot closer to the president which would have said a lot more than just this loser

00:05:06.580 lackey bureaucrat so while miles taylor doesn't come out of this looking good at all i think the new

00:05:13.620 york times comes out looking even worse

00:05:16.260 are joe biden's voters getting buyers remorse sinclair broadcasting has the story i picked it up from

00:05:26.980 wear channel 3 news google searches how to change my vote seem to be trending more and more and they

00:05:36.000 seem to be trending in states that really matter florida pennsylvania wisconsin arizona tennessee and

00:05:42.280 virginia and a lot of the google searches regarding you know how do i change my vote or can i change

00:05:48.600 my vote are directly linked to users who are also searching hunter biden and hunter biden emails and

00:05:56.080 hunter biden laptop so with tens of millions of voters having already cast their ballot you see how

00:06:03.240 these late breaking charges can really create a searing impression on the minds of the electorate truth

00:06:10.120 is there is no way to change your vote once a ballot is cast it's cast and while i wish that

00:06:16.220 this information about the biden's had come out sooner so that the whole country could make their

00:06:21.840 decision based on the evidence before them it does seem that it's cutting through that it's having an

00:06:27.920 impact that voters care about the deep corruption in the biden family many may want to change their vote

00:06:34.800 they won't be able to but for those who haven't voted i think this is very significant

00:06:40.160 the american economy is coming back baby we knew it would happen we knew we would see the great

00:06:50.460 american economic revival because the fundamentals of our economy incentivizing investment and bringing

00:06:57.560 capital back to our shores those remain strong cnbc has the story u.s gdp booms at 33.1 percent rate in

00:07:07.320 q3 better than expected now the dow jones was expected to see a 32 percent gdp accelerated annualized

00:07:16.640 increase so that expectation was beat and a surge in business and residential investment along with stronger

00:07:24.380 consumer activity helped the economy so what you're seeing here with that consumer spending i think is

00:07:30.680 pent-up demand uh and a desire to get going and uh with the residential activity home buying and the

00:07:38.460 like it's easy to understand how in the initial months of the coronavirus folks might pause they might

00:07:44.960 be more cautious but if you need to move you need to move if you need a home you need a home if your job

00:07:52.040 changed or relocated maybe that gives you opportunities and as you see the coronavirus impacting

00:07:57.920 the way in which people participate in the workforce through teleworking uh through distance working

00:08:05.920 you're able to i think also see a change in where people live if in 2021 people have more choice over

00:08:14.020 where they live relative to their job than they did in 2019 that in and of itself can create more

00:08:20.540 home buying more commercial activity more churn in the real estate market because people may not want

00:08:27.400 to live right where their job is they might want to live somewhere else and while coronavirus has

00:08:32.620 certainly taken its toll on our country and our families and the economy it could lead to this

00:08:39.900 dynamic in real estate that creates the activity that helps pull ourselves out of one of the most

00:08:46.400 challenging economic times our country has encountered but it's great to see us on the upswing beating

00:08:52.020 expectations doing better let's hope we keep the good times rolling

00:08:56.380 vandalism violence hatred it continues to be spread by the radical left and we see more and more

00:09:07.280 examples emerging on our college campuses buckalupo.com is a great website and they're breaking news that

00:09:15.080 at the university of miami here in the state of florida college republicans put up a trump

00:09:20.280 pence sign it was then vandalized repeatedly and then removed by a faculty member in fact within hours

00:09:27.560 of the college republicans pro trump sign being put up you had students and others taping signs

00:09:33.800 to it saying white supremacists get off my campus the university of miami president julio frank putting out

00:09:40.800 a statement that the banner had been approved and authorized and that these acts of vandalism were

00:09:48.240 a departure from the mutual respect that is important for us to have as human beings and that he would

00:09:53.840 suggest they have on the university of miami's campus i'm disappointed that a faculty member took

00:10:00.160 it upon themself to be able to remove the sign if anything i'd leave the sign up you know i remember

00:10:06.160 in one of my first campaigns for public office i had put up signs and some folks who didn't like

00:10:12.080 me went and lit them on fire and so there was these like half charred signs with my name on them

00:10:17.680 and i had supporters call me up saying oh you've got to you know correct and repair these signs

00:10:21.760 and frankly i left them up because i wanted my community to see what the backers of my opponents

00:10:28.720 were willing to do what they thought was okay when in fact we don't condone justify or support

00:10:36.160 any type of vandalism or or in cases of violence which we've reported on before you know we reported

00:10:42.080 on the story of the women's march where a woman showed up with a trump banner and was assaulted

00:10:46.880 and here students just show up with a trump banner and they're labeled white supremacists and told to

00:10:51.680 get off the campus we have to be able to listen to each other and disagree with each other without

00:10:57.440 trying to label each other and simply rob one another of the ability to contribute to the national

00:11:03.120 conversation let's hope things get better at the university of miami and college campuses everywhere

00:11:12.640 if you're in your private aircraft don't fly it over a trump rally without permission that happened

00:11:18.960 in arizona yesterday the president holding a rally and f-16 fighter jets actually had to send out

00:11:25.760 flares to get the attention of an aircraft that had entered the restricted area according to the hills

00:11:31.840 ellen mitchell the aircraft that was violating that prohibited airspace was non-responsive to initial

00:11:39.600 contact requests from norad but after the f-16s shot those flares they sure got the attention of

00:11:46.000 that aircraft and they were able to escort it safely outside of the restricted area without incident the

00:11:50.880 president took notice it sort of looked like a military flyover made mention the fact that they'd put on

00:11:56.240 a little display but in fact it was not a display it was action to ensure the safety of the president

00:12:02.240 and all who attended his rallies thanks to the great folks at the united states air force and we hope that

00:12:07.600 in these final days both candidates are able to have great events without incident without any threat

00:12:14.240 without any risk to the americans attending and participating in our political process

00:12:18.880 i love girl scout cookies thin mints and samoa's are my favorite but i will never buy a box again

00:12:30.480 girl scouts of america had originally put out a post congratulating justice amy coney barrett for being

00:12:37.600 the fifth woman appointed to the united states supreme court since its inception then after ayanna presley

00:12:46.000 congresswoman from the squad and others engaged in their typical cancel culture bs criticizing the

00:12:53.680 girl scouts saying oh you know amy coney barrett represents the opposite of what the girl scouts stand

00:12:58.960 for they caved they removed the post so not even the girl scouts of america are willing to stand up

00:13:06.320 to the cancel culture when all they did was congratulate a woman on her confirmation all women in america

00:13:13.520 should be proud of amy coney barrett all americans should be proud of her i know i am she was masterful

00:13:20.400 in her confirmation hearings she was unshakable in her convictions in her faith in defending the life

00:13:28.160 she had led properly and here you have an organization purportedly existing to develop the values ambitions and

00:13:37.040 skills of women just straight up abandoning one at the first sign of criticism online this is what

00:13:44.080 the future looks like if we don't start standing up for what we believe unapologetically where if you

00:13:50.240 say not even the wrong thing but the right thing but it offends the wrong people that somehow you're

00:13:56.880 de-platformed delegitimize destroyed by the online mob i would have expected more from the girl scouts of

00:14:05.040 america it's deeply disappointing that they believe that their non-political posture means that they

00:14:12.400 can't support encourage congratulate women if those women don't just totally surrender to the woketopia 1.00

00:14:21.520 of the radical left very disappointing i guess maybe i won't add those few extra pounds during girl scout

00:14:28.800 cookie selling season but i sure wish that more institutions in our country would stand up for

00:14:34.960 their own beliefs and for their own stated purposes president emmanuel macron in france is announcing

00:14:45.360 a second national lockdown now in italy and in other places where they've discussed these possibilities

00:14:52.320 you've seen a very negative reaction from their people folks want to be able to make their own choices

00:14:58.400 and these lockdowns are very unpopular but macron making the decision that beginning on friday until

00:15:06.000 at least december one schools will be open but non-essential businesses will close the new measures

00:15:12.800 which will come into force friday will mean people have to stay in their homes except to buy essential

00:15:17.680 goods seek medical attention or use their daily one-hour allocation of exercise cafes restaurants and

00:15:26.400 shops will shut down unless they are deemed to be selling essential goods such as supermarkets and

00:15:32.560 pharmacies so enjoy your one hour of government allotted exercise in france more lockdowns coming via macron

00:15:45.120 we've got regeneron results and they're quite promising marketwatch.com's claudia

00:15:52.000 asis has the story regeneron trial coven 19 drug cocktail cuts virus load and more people shares of

00:16:00.160 regeneron rose more than three percent in the extended session wednesday after the company's experimental

00:16:06.960 antibody cocktail significantly reduced novel coronavirus levels without the need for further medical

00:16:14.160 attention including hospitalizations and er visits for those who were engaged in the trial this is a

00:16:20.400 quote from regeneron's president and chief scientific officer george yankopoulos we continue to see the

00:16:28.560 strongest effects in patients who are most at risk for poor outcomes due to high viral load ineffective

00:16:36.000 antibody immune response at baseline or pre-existing risk factors we're hopeful that these trials will

00:16:43.200 persist and that the drug will be available to all americans suffering coronavirus thanks for
