The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz - Episode 120 – Republican Early Vote SURGES Nationwide! Lil Wayne Joins The America First Movement. Tracking COVID With Sewers？

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 happy friday welcome to hot takes i'm congressman matt gates let's talk about the news the gap is

00:00:22.740 closing that's right we saw at the beginning of this election cycle as mail-in ballots were being

00:00:28.480 sent and as democrats were returning them at a far more rapid pace than republicans you saw cnn and

00:00:36.500 in particular politico describing an insurmountable democratic lead in the early vote an expectation

00:00:44.040 that joe biden might in fact have the enthusiasm that myself the president and many other republicans

00:00:51.020 have doubted but what we see now is like the empire striking back republicans have been voting

00:00:58.000 in person early in a number of swing states and in fact there is virtually no swing state sands may

00:01:04.820 be georgia where the democrat ballot cast lead isn't collapsing in places like pennsylvania and

00:01:12.400 it's literally been cut in half in north carolina the gap's been closed substantially as well i'm going

00:01:18.600 to focus in on two states where i've been campaigning most recently the state of florida my home state

00:01:24.120 and also the state of arizona so in florida at the beginning of the early vote and vote by mail

00:01:29.940 system you just had the vote by mail votes coming in and democrats built a ballot lead of over 500 000

00:01:38.100 ballots at the beginning of this process and to put that in context when ron desantis and andrew

00:01:45.240 gullum were running against each other gullum goes into election day with a 230 000 vote lead well as of

00:01:53.500 my check just moments ago the democrat lead has fallen from over 500 000 ballots to even under the

00:02:02.360 gullum lead going into election day now that number is actually under 150 000 ballots momentum is clearly on

00:02:11.160 the side of republicans in the sunshine state and it may be the sign of a red wave coming in florida

00:02:17.460 as i've looked at some of the key state legislative races and some of the key counties i can tell you

00:02:23.880 we're seeing exactly what we want to see in terms of republicans showing up to vote now if you're

00:02:29.060 watching on election night and you want to know what counties really matter in florida and of course

00:02:34.320 they all do in a state so close but let me give you a few to look at for some specific indicia the

00:02:40.140 biden campaign and the mainstream media have been telling us that president trump has been losing

00:02:45.400 support among seniors that seniors don't approve of the way the president's handled coronavirus and thus

00:02:51.660 we'll be voting for him in lower numbers watch two counties sumter county and lake county these two

00:02:57.940 counties encompass a lot of the senior living that occurs in florida the senior living communities like

00:03:04.860 the villages top of the hill howie in the hills those places would be among the first to show any

00:03:12.080 slippage with the president and seniors so if president trump is underperforming his numbers from

00:03:18.160 2016 in sumter and lake counties then maybe the democrats have a point on the senior vote and that

00:03:26.720 might tell us more about how seniors will be voting in other parts of the country i don't think that'll be

00:03:31.340 the case but that's where to look now i also want you to watch miami dade county in 2016 president trump

00:03:39.100 was probably at his lowest with hispanics but as hispanics have seen the way the trump economy has 0.95

00:03:46.320 resulted in a blue collar boom before coronavirus as working class hispanics have seen democrats embrace 0.97

00:03:53.220 shutdowns as a lot of hispanics have seen socialism take greater root in the democratic party they are 0.82

00:04:00.140 coming our way in a big way so when you look at miami dade county watch to see where joe biden is on

00:04:07.600 his percentage of the vote relative to hillary clinton if when those east coast numbers come in

00:04:13.520 you see joe biden substantially behind where hillary clinton was at that time that is bad news for joe biden

00:04:20.340 in texas in arizona in new mexico in nevada in other places where hispanics make up a substantial

00:04:28.020 portion of the electorate now let's move to arizona so in arizona democrats had built a ballot lead over

00:04:35.060 130 000 that has been cut substantially now i believe it's under 50 000 but the real story in

00:04:42.920 arizona is that over 80 percent of high propensity voting democrats have already voted whereas only 65

00:04:51.760 of high propensity republicans have voted that tells us that there's more meat on the bone left for

00:04:59.460 republicans on election day there's a greater pool of election day voters and in a state that could be

00:05:04.640 decided by 10 or 20 000 votes that could end up being very significant now usually democrats do quite

00:05:11.500 well in maricopa county republicans have to make up with big margins in pinel county in mojave county

00:05:18.380 i spent some time in pinel county i could tell you that there's a lot of enthusiasm there

00:05:23.140 big crowds so it'll be a numbers game a turnout game will folks really show up to vote in the desert

00:05:30.900 out in the more rural areas of arizona to counteract any losses that are taken in maricopa county

00:05:38.160 i think it's going to happen all the trajectory all the momentum all the numbers showing that it could be

00:05:44.380 a very red night

00:05:46.200 are you the kind of person that will cancel a friend over their political views i'm sure not

00:05:55.080 i have friends who are republicans democrats independents i have friends who are so apolitical

00:06:01.440 that merely the mention of politics makes them want to run for the hills i think there are a lot of

00:06:07.940 things about a person that indicate whether or not they're a good person more than politics

00:06:13.200 are you a good family member are you a good friend are you kind and do you nurture others

00:06:18.160 do you demean people or do you build them up but for cnn host don lemon i guess if someone's a trump

00:06:25.060 supporter i guess if they are looking at information and seeing it different than he is they deserve to

00:06:30.640 be canceled as a friend they're like a drug addict that has to hit rock bottom it's pretty shameful

00:06:36.980 take a listen to don lemon you know what the sad thing is and i'll be honest with you

00:06:40.620 um i have many people who i love in my life and yeah i come from a red state i've lived in several

00:06:47.660 red states there are a lot of friends who i had to really get rid of because they they are so

00:06:53.180 nonsensical when it comes to this issue they have the whole every single talking point that they hear

00:06:58.460 on state tv and that they hear from this president they repeat it and they are blinded by it and i just

00:07:05.340 can when i said to you the other night there's no way they can't believe it they can you know i was just

00:07:08.860 goosing you in a way right you know what they say i was you know um i was breaking your you know

00:07:13.980 you know it's not like that'll be all over continue so hey but here's the thing um i i had to get rid 0.98

00:07:20.460 of them because they are too far gone i try and i try and i try they'll say something really stupid 0.65

00:07:26.060 and then i'll show them the science and i'll give them in the information and they still repeat those

00:07:30.380 talking points and all the while the state was a hot spot many if you look at the information that

00:07:37.660 we put up last night that came up yesterday showed you how the red states have now taken over where the

00:07:42.220 blue states where people came in because there are bigger cities and there's more transmission

00:07:46.300 obviously where where there are where people are closer together and so now the red states are the

00:07:51.020 problem and i just i have to get rid of a lot of people in my life because sometimes you just have to

00:07:56.140 let them go i think that they have to hit rock bottom like an addict right and they have to want

00:08:01.180 to get help they have to want to know the truth they have to want to live in reality they have to

00:08:05.100 want to be responsible not only for other people's lives but for their lives so you know what i have

00:08:10.060 had it's so sad and i don't know if after this i will ever be able to go back and be friends with

00:08:15.340 those people because at a certain point you just say they're too far gone and i got to let them go and

00:08:21.020 if they're willing to come back and if they're willing to um live in in reality then i would

00:08:26.700 welcome them with open arms but i can't do it i can't do it anymore so the same network that wants

00:08:31.580 to criticize donald trump for division and harm to the country and separating us and causing hatred 0.67

00:08:39.180 rather than love is willing to give this clown don lemon hours upon hours of prime time television 0.99

00:08:47.420 to be able to spew his nonsense and his hatred and his foolishness but you know what if someone 0.93

00:08:53.500 was a don lemon fan i wouldn't cancel them as my friend but i'm willing to bet if don lemon knew that 0.82

00:09:00.220 someone was a political supporter or fan of mine that would be enough for him to say that any other

00:09:05.260 contribution that they could make would be diminished because they don't see things his way it's precisely

00:09:12.300 this type of coastal media liberal elitism that looks down on americans that thinks were deplorables

00:09:21.180 and irredeemable and racist because we support our president it's exactly that mentality that is

00:09:27.980 driving republicans and trump supporters to vote and it's ultimately going to lead to the president's

00:09:34.140 victory and i just can't wait to see don lemon's face when he announces that donald j trump is still

00:09:41.740 our president for four more years could the sewer hold the key to determine the spreading of

00:09:51.980 coronavirus in a particular region that's the question posed by qz.com story by catherine ellen

00:09:59.180 foley and the story chronicles researchers in the state of kentucky who actually find these sewer manholes

00:10:06.940 they extract some of the flowing sewage and then they test it for coronavirus now first it's important

00:10:14.300 to note that coronavirus in sewage is not contagious it's not something that can infect you actually the

00:10:20.620 proteins are broken down but the proteins that are indicative of the coronavirus are still present so

00:10:26.540 while you can't see from pulling up a sample of stool from a flowing sewage stream exactly who has

00:10:33.420 coronavirus you can test the propensity the frequency the volume uh the duration of the presence of

00:10:41.260 coronavirus to determine if a particular community is seeing a lot of asymptomatic spread

00:10:48.380 the reason this is relevant is because if you don't have symptoms oftentimes the tests can be limited in their

00:10:55.420 effectiveness you don't necessarily see it in other measurement tools that public health officials are using

00:11:01.420 so if our own stool can be like an early warning system to coronavirus then maybe it gives us an

00:11:08.620 opportunity to capture a greater degree of that virus control it and limit the spread so we'll see it's

00:11:16.620 clear based on the story and i hope you check it out that the research is in its very early stages the

00:11:22.220 one of the researchers makes mention that they feel like they're building the engine as they're driving

00:11:26.780 the car on this particular measurement tool but i'm all about data everything we can do with more

00:11:32.780 sensor technology with more data allows us to make better decisions that aren't these reactionary

00:11:38.940 decisions that we've too often seen from public health officials limiting people's freedom hurting

00:11:44.380 their health through lockdowns constraining economic success and endangering the long-term prosperity

00:11:51.020 of livelihoods and so i think that if we can have better tech better data ultimately we'll make

00:11:57.660 better decisions for our people we'll see if the answer is in the poo

00:12:05.260 glenn greenwald has resigned from the intercept a website he co-founded with several others he's been

00:12:13.100 censored by his own website now i talk about glenn greenwald in my book firebrand and in specifically the

00:12:19.740 chapter where i write about the media being the enemy of the people because glenn greenwald has

00:12:25.020 actually been very critical of the media's willingness to abandon journalistic integrity to

00:12:31.980 short change fact checking to elevate some stories and depress other stories based on their bias based on

00:12:40.300 their ideology now glenn is no conservative he's certainly no fan of mine he he's both simultaneously said

00:12:48.140 that my ideology is the worst in congress while he's also praised my ideology when i've worked alongside

00:12:56.700 ro kanna and others to try to stop forever wars and bring our troops home from places that don't need

00:13:04.540 extended u.s presence where it's not justified by the risk portfolio and the risk assessment to our

00:13:11.660 country so glenn greenwald is a liberal but he's willing to also attack democrats and

00:13:17.820 he could not get his own piece published in his own website critical of joe biden and so he's

00:13:26.300 leaving i would also note that glenn greenwald defended me when many on the left were attacking

00:13:31.900 my family my son the fact that it's not really a traditional family where we're related by blood or

00:13:38.940 paperwork but i do take care of him and ensure that he's got every tool to be successful in his life and

00:13:44.940 when i was attacked for that glenn greenwald was pretty strident in his defense of my family and

00:13:51.740 my son and our willingness to create love and maybe a non-traditional setting so i appreciate that from

00:13:59.180 him i don't think he should be censored folks should take a look in firebrand for the way in which i think

00:14:06.700 glenn greenwald is an example of someone in the media feeling the pressure to always conform to a

00:14:15.180 specific narrative of the radical left it's a shame i hope we continue to have his voice whether it's

00:14:21.660 critical of me or laudatory

00:14:23.580 the rappers for trump coalition continues to expand lil wayne being the most recent to join the team

00:14:36.860 and of course 50 cent lil pump waka flaka flame uh and kanye have also said positive things about

00:14:45.580 the president ice cube as well ice cube of course hasn't endorsed trump uh but he's praised him for their

00:14:51.660 work together and particularly the platinum plan we've covered this several of these rappers have

00:14:58.620 collaborated on ways to improve life in black america joe biden and the democrats said we'll see you

00:15:05.020 after the election to talk about those things president trump and his team wanted to immediately

00:15:10.140 incorporate ideas to help black america into the president's campaign and in his agenda

00:15:16.220 and it appears that that's bearing fruit look these black rappers have a lot of influence in the black

00:15:21.900 community and it's great to see him standing with our america first movement and our transformational

00:15:28.460 president

00:15:32.300 the mccluskies saw their lives endangered they saw their property fall under the threat of the mob

00:15:39.740 and they responded by fully vindicating their second amendment rights they had their firearms and they

00:15:45.340 quite literally had to defend their home defend each other perhaps even defend their lives they spoke

00:15:51.420 at the republican national convention they were not just maligned by the democrats and the mainstream

00:15:57.900 media they were actually indicted for self-defense turning point usa made a compelling video with the

00:16:05.900 mccluskies i hope you watch the full thing we'll post it on social media but take a listen to just a part

00:16:11.500 when i stood out there on the patio when i stood out there in front of that crowd with my rifle

00:16:15.740 i had no expectation of surviving the event it's hard for me to think about it now because

00:16:20.460 we would be dead had he not acted the one man with one rifle against a mob of 500 you can't win

00:16:27.100 but we weren't going to die laying down and that's what the second amendment is all about

00:16:31.500 when the mob came to our door the only thing that saved our lives our home and our family was the

00:16:35.660 second amendment we're going to fight like hell to keep it and you can take my gun out of my cold dead 0.56

00:16:40.380 hands the united states has agreed to sell 50 f-35s to the united arab emirates the uae being the second

00:16:52.380 country in the middle east to acquire f-35s the first of course being israel israel had originally

00:16:58.380 acquired 50 of these aircraft but now wants more so at the cost of 10.6 billion the uae will get 50

00:17:06.060 and then israel will get more on top of that it is the foreign policy of the united states that israel

00:17:11.980 maintain a qualitative military edge in the middle east that is a policy that i support i believe that

00:17:19.500 israel has to have the ability if necessary to vanquish any foe in the region we hope that is not 1.00

00:17:26.300 necessary but frankly as iran was moving into syria it was helpful that israel had the ability to take

00:17:33.500 out some of those permanent encampments to ensure that iran did not have the ability to cause greater

00:17:40.140 disruption and that didn't require u.s military aggression or adventurism it just required israel

00:17:47.820 being the strongest best version of herself she was she is and she will continue to be under this

00:17:53.980 agreement the f-35 program is critically important to the united states these sales will ensure that

00:17:59.820 the supply chain remains robust that the suppliers are engaged in producing and that they are successful

00:18:07.660 because ultimately the success of any weapons program is dependent on the success of those who

00:18:13.500 build it obviously this is the result of the uae really playing a leading role in the repenchement that

00:18:20.140 is going on right now in the middle east with more and more arab states acknowledging israel making peace

00:18:27.020 with israel and hopefully building a platform and a paradigm that will ensure peace in the middle

00:18:33.820 east for generations to come thanks for listening to hot takes i'm congressman matt gates if you live
