You all were not telling the truth and you should not be trusted.
00:00:06.580
Congressman Matt Gaetz, thank you for what you did for your country tonight.
00:00:09.300
Be offended with the Democratic whip, not House Republicans.
00:00:16.080
Welcome to Hot Takes, I'm Congressman Matt Gaetz.
00:00:20.780
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi issuing a challenge to Republicans.
00:00:26.100
Right now, we are talking about addressing the crisis, the pandemic.
00:00:33.020
If we do so scientifically, we will be able, we will be able to open our economy.
00:00:45.140
We're able to do so in a way that recognizes the tragedy that has befallen us in our country
00:00:52.980
because of the Republican denial of science and disdain for governance.
00:00:59.640
So stop the circus and get to work on what really matters to the American people,
00:01:11.900
If you believe so much in your coronavirus response legislation,
00:01:15.900
put it on the floor of the House of Representatives open to amendment
00:01:22.940
If we could strip out the payments to illegal aliens,
00:01:26.020
if instead of giving more money to states that had financial problems before coronavirus,
00:01:32.920
let's make sure that we fund our frontline workers and our hospital systems.
00:01:37.280
Let's make sure there's stimulus available for our fellow Americans
00:01:41.040
who, through no fault of their own, found their jobs rendered illegal.
00:01:45.320
I think you'd get a lot of Republican support for that,
00:01:51.600
Why don't we have an up or down vote on the amendments regarding those provisions of the bill?
00:01:56.620
You see, Nancy Pelosi doesn't want an open vote with open amendments on a major piece of legislation
00:02:03.720
because she knows that that legislation could not survive that type of scrutiny.
00:02:09.180
But that's what the legislative process calls for.
00:02:11.860
So if she's serious about really responding to coronavirus with a bipartisan approach,
00:02:21.800
she should allow amendments, allow debate, and allow the legislative process to move forward.
00:02:27.600
And if we did that, I think we would find a lot of agreement
00:02:30.740
on how to help our fellow Americans during the coronavirus pandemic.
00:02:34.640
Brilliant attorney, Sidney Powell, who represents General Michael Flynn,
00:02:42.260
was recently on Sinclair Media with Eric Bolling talking about the Dominion election software.
00:02:51.440
Sidney, very important information news you're breaking here.
00:02:55.080
Is it a software glitch or something more nefarious?
00:02:59.000
It's a feature of the system that was designed with a back door
00:03:04.220
so that people could watch in real time and calculate with an algorithm
00:03:09.560
how many votes they needed to change to make the result they wanted to create.
00:03:21.100
I think when people realize there's somebody they can trust
00:03:24.300
that will actually do something about it, they speak up.
00:03:29.740
They are absolutely fed up to the gills with corruption at every level of government.
00:03:35.640
They have no trust in our public institutions now,
00:03:38.640
and we will not let this election be stolen or any cheating to survive.
00:03:46.460
Dominion voting machines were in numerous states, numerous counties.
00:03:50.460
There's some sort of software backdoor, not unlike most phones will have a backdoor,
00:03:56.460
but this will actually calculate and tell the person accessing the backdoor
00:04:01.840
what type of voting percentages and what type of numbers are needed to change
00:04:06.860
the win for a certain party, for a certain candidate.
00:04:15.240
They run a computer algorithm on it as needed to either flip votes,
00:04:20.420
take votes out, or alter the votes to make a candidate win.
00:04:25.980
Now this is even different, and I just really want to be very careful here
00:04:32.260
It's one thing to be able to watch it and decide how much more input you need to change
00:04:37.040
to change the number, but now you're saying there's an actual way to change the total,
00:04:51.680
I mean, that would be voter fraud defined right there.
00:04:58.580
It's massive criminal voter fraud writ large across at least 29 states.
00:05:07.840
Any time a voting machine was connected to the Internet, and we have evidence that many were,
00:05:17.200
It's obvious from the algorithm and the statistics that our experts are tracking out
00:05:24.340
for batches of votes and when the curves changed.
00:05:27.560
And it's going to blow the mind of everyone in this country when we get it all together
00:05:36.320
and can explain it with the affidavits and the experts that have come forward.
00:05:42.040
And if it's true that Dominion has the ability to review votes as they're coming in in real time,
00:05:49.180
it would create conditions far more ripe for fraud.
00:05:53.020
I find it particularly interesting that it's not just Republicans who have questioned this Dominion software.
00:05:59.580
Matter of fact, January 6th of 2019, Senators Ron Wyden, Elizabeth Warren, and Amy Klobuchar,
00:06:06.380
all Democrats, sent letters to some of the senior executives at Dominion demanding more transparency
00:06:12.680
and sharing their concerns about the potential to change votes.
00:06:20.460
and this is something we unequivocally must get to the bottom of and fix.
00:06:28.460
President Trump planning even more crackdowns on China.
00:06:32.620
President Trump will enact a series of hardline policies during his final 10 weeks
00:06:40.220
senior administration officials with direct knowledge of the plans tell Axios.
00:06:44.580
Now, it matters because under the scenario where Biden would potentially become president,
00:06:49.920
Donald Trump wants to make it untenable for any Biden administration to change course on China
00:06:55.760
as China continues to provoke India, continues to act aggressively in Hong Kong and Taiwan,
00:07:01.940
and as there really is a growing anti-China sentiment following this pandemic.
00:07:06.920
Behind the scenes, senior administration officials are discussing expanding a Department of Defense list
00:07:12.720
of Chinese companies that have ties to the Chinese military that would bar investment in these companies
00:07:18.540
from U.S. installations and would stop these companies from making purchases of U.S. national security assets.
00:07:26.040
Director John Radcliffe will play a leading role in coordinating this strategy.
00:07:30.020
He will also give briefings on the granular detail of the intelligence regarding China's efforts
00:07:38.600
Getting that information out, I think, is all the better
00:07:41.920
because it ensures that we have a coordinated national response
00:07:53.240
More than 600,000 Georgians already requested absentee ballots for runoff election.
00:08:00.020
We pick up the story from Breitbart's Kyle Morris.
00:08:03.620
Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams announced Sunday that more than 600,000 Georgians
00:08:10.200
have requested their mail ballots for the Senate runoff elections on January 5th.
00:08:15.300
She urged her followers to do the same and support Democratic candidates.
00:08:20.320
And this is indicative of something that we really saw play out with significance in the 2020 election.
00:08:26.160
I think Republicans are rightly focused on why people vote.
00:08:32.200
And I think that Democrats are far more focused on how people vote.
00:08:36.880
The literal mechanics of requesting a ballot, harvesting that ballot, and times curing that ballot.
00:08:43.720
These are things that really don't drive the Republican energy and effort.
00:08:47.640
The Republican effort was really driven by the inspiration of the president and of the economy
00:08:54.100
that he built and just the desire to continue the policies and the success that our country
00:09:00.440
had seen prior to this pandemic and the belief that it would be Trump who would be best positioned
00:09:05.680
to rebuild a great economy, having seen him done it before.
00:09:09.300
But here we see again, in just an enormously consequential election in Georgia,
00:09:15.040
you've got to give Stacey Abrams credit for generating the absentee ballot requests
00:09:19.740
that then in turn create the opportunity for Democrats to begin that whole process
00:09:24.820
of harvesting, curing, and allowing these votes to be counted so long as they are mailed to some person.
00:09:33.240
You know, we talk a lot about voter ID laws in this country,
00:09:36.000
but if you return your ballot by mail, there's no ID required.
00:09:39.940
And as I've said before, dead people don't always vote.
00:09:43.160
But when they do, they typically prefer to vote by mail because they don't have to present an ID to do so.
00:09:50.860
We'd love to see the voting process more secure.
00:09:54.000
We're going to fight for greater integrity in that process.
00:09:57.200
And we're certainly going to keep an eye on Georgia,
00:10:00.040
where it appears Stacey Abrams is hard at work generating hundreds of thousands of vote by mail requests.
00:10:07.180
Elon Musk's SpaceX continues to break barriers in meeting our nation's needs for space exploration and access with the private sector.
00:10:20.720
We pick up the story from The Daily Caller's Lauren Overholtz.
00:10:24.360
SpaceX successfully launches four astronauts headed to the International Space Station.
00:10:33.660
Crew members have been quarantining since October to reduce the risk of coronavirus.
00:10:40.000
And we're grateful to see that at a lower cost,
00:10:44.200
companies like SpaceX are able to use these platforms at Kennedy Space Center in Florida,
00:10:50.000
that they're able to meet the low Earth orbit needs.
00:10:54.820
They're able to shuttle some of the human talent back and forth to the International Space Station.
00:11:00.760
And it allows NASA to really raise their gaze to look at a Mars mission,
00:11:06.340
missions even beyond Mars, to see what's out there and what it means for all of us who are still here on Earth.
00:11:20.040
So it appears it was another lawmaker, according to reports that Boris Johnson had interacted with.
00:11:43.840
And we all remember Boris Johnson having to be hospitalized and really having a tough go of it with COVID back in April.
00:11:53.380
It appears he's not too confident in those antibodies lasting until now.
00:11:58.140
And I think that it raises broader questions about the duration of time where we can have antibody confidence.
00:12:04.740
And if, you know, it really is the case that these antibodies last longer than two or three months,
00:12:09.980
it informs greatly on our ability to combat the disease and the virus.
00:12:14.600
So we'll be eager to see if Boris Johnson is able to maintain virus-free.
00:12:20.240
We have not seen a lot of people around the planet Earth getting reinfected with the virus.
00:12:24.560
And it just seems to show maybe just a little bit of a diminished confidence that once you get it, lightning won't strike again.
