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
00:00:13.980
welcome to hot takes i'm congressman matt gates let's talk about the news the fight against fraud
00:00:22.300
in our election system continues people shouldn't vote more than once they shouldn't vote in more
00:00:28.660
than one state people shouldn't vote in a state after they've moved out of that state and they
00:00:34.020
certainly shouldn't vote after they die but all of those things appear to be happening in the state
00:00:40.280
of nevada former nevada attorney general adam laxalt is leading up the president's work in that state to
00:00:47.120
try to clean up the elections here's former attorney general laxalt of nevada what we are providing
00:00:53.200
today in this lawsuit is that many of these votes were improperly cast we are presenting today
00:01:03.880
in our formal contest that there are north of 15 000 people who voted in nevada and another state
00:01:15.520
we are presenting that people voted in people that had already done a change of address and left the
00:01:25.440
state outside of 30 the 30-day requirement their ballots were still cast we are also presenting dead
00:01:34.540
voters in addition to this news out of nevada we're also seeing some interesting reporting out of georgia
00:01:40.760
david shaffer is now the chairman of the georgia republican party and he posted to twitter
00:01:47.100
quote one of our monitors discovered a 9 626 vote error in dekab county one batch was labeled 10 707 for
00:01:58.480
biden and 13 for trump an improbable margin even by dekab standards the actual count for the batch was
00:02:07.540
1081 for biden and 13 for trump had this counting error not been discovered biden would have gained
00:02:15.680
enough votes from this one batch alone to cancel out trump's gains from fayette floyd and walton we
00:02:22.940
were limited to one monitor for every 10 counting tables and we were kept some distance from the
00:02:29.120
tables there's no telling what we missed under these unreasonable restrictions the miscounted batch had
00:02:35.180
been signed off by two election officials biden's margin of victory for this batch of votes 99.9 percent
00:02:43.860
bested bashar al-assad's 2007 margin 97.6 percent and raul castro's 2008 margin 99.4 percent it matched
00:02:56.360
kim jung-il's 2009 margin of 99.9 percent our attorneys have turned over an affidavit from our
00:03:05.040
monitor to the secretary of state and requested an investigation pope francis may be quite active
00:03:15.280
on the gram fox news reporting pope francis instagram account reportedly likes bikini models
00:03:22.480
racy snapchat natalia giboto's racy picture was liked by more than 133 000 people she was dressed in
00:03:32.160
stockings and suspenders and hey look she says that her mom may not like her booty pics but if the pope
1.00
00:03:40.100
is double tapping she thinks that that may increase her chance to go to heaven now i don't know if this
00:03:46.080
was the poniff himself or a member of his team maybe that didn't realize they were on the official
00:03:51.400
account when they went around looking on the gram for something interesting or beautiful so hey look
00:03:58.320
if liking pretty girls on instagram is wrong i don't want to be right and if the pontiff is out
00:04:03.860
there making it happen well god created beauty in this world instagram allows us to share it and enjoy
00:04:10.700
it and i'm here for it apparently so is the pope
00:04:14.940
after people have coronavirus and recover from it they may have immunities that could last not for
00:04:25.700
weeks or months but for years or even decades according to a new study reported by the new york times and
00:04:34.680
this study is suggesting that there are special memory cells in the body not just antibodies but memory
00:04:41.520
cells that can create these just outstanding immunities that can fight back against the coronavirus for
00:04:47.840
quite some time the study comes from la jola institute of immunology the leader of the study is shane
00:04:55.440
crotty he's quoted as saying that amount of memory would likely prevent the vast majority of people
00:05:01.860
from getting hospitalized by the disease by having severe disease for many years the findings are
00:05:08.840
consistent with encouraging evidence emerging from other labs according to the reporting researchers at
00:05:14.560
the university of washington led by immunologist marion pepper had earlier shown that memory cells were
00:05:21.660
produced following the infection with the coronavirus for at least three months a study published last
00:05:27.080
week also found that people who have recovered from covet 19 have powerful and protective killer immune
00:05:34.120
cells even when the antibodies are not detectable so again the research showing initially that those
00:05:41.080
antibodies are detectable for three months but there could be this extended period of time beyond that
00:05:47.060
with these memory cells that can come back and be very effective in combating coronavirus now the studies
00:05:53.520
also show that there is not universal adaptation and development of these memory cells that there are
00:06:01.480
some people who still can be reinfected and we look forward to continuing research to show who might be
00:06:07.560
more vulnerable who might be more resilient and how that can inform on our policy choices
00:06:13.260
wreaths across america is an opportunity for our fellow countrymen and women to honor the tremendous
00:06:22.720
sacrifice of the fallen by bringing wreaths and laying them at the grave sites of some of america's best and
00:06:30.580
bravest arlington national cemetery had originally announced that they would be canceling wreaths across america at
00:06:38.540
arlington and we saw a swift rebuke of that from members of congress members of the senate the president
00:06:46.320
himself saying that this must be a decision reversed and so the secretary of the army has reversed the
00:06:52.560
decision wreaths across america will go on here's my hot take if in washington dc we can allow tens of
00:07:01.660
thousands of thousands of people to protest for and against different kind of politics during this
00:07:06.540
coronavirus pandemic certainly we can allow patriotic americans to honor the sacrifice that those who
00:07:15.400
have fallen have made and i think it is entirely appropriate for the president to have gotten involved
00:07:21.500
reverse this decision and i'm glad to see that wreaths across america will go on
00:07:26.580
democrats on capitol hill are proposing remote voting rules to allow members of congress to be
00:07:36.760
back in their districts and cast their support or opposition to various legislative initiatives
00:07:41.880
by the phone now most republicans have opposed this but i'm starting to think that it may do a lot to
00:07:49.460
drain the swamp to get members of congress out of the swamp more often and back in their districts
00:07:54.940
i discussed the issue with fox news radio's jimmy fela on fox across america take a listen to the
00:08:02.100
discussion jimmy i gotta let you in on the news of the day here republicans and democrats are meeting
00:08:06.720
for their caucus leadership elections and to vote on the rules that they think should exist in the 117th
00:08:12.840
congress and there's a key difference between the republicans and democrats the democrats believe that
00:08:18.000
we ought to be able to remote vote on legislation like on your phone and republicans have criticized that
00:08:24.360
as like literally phoning in the job of congress and if henry clay can get on the horse and get here
00:08:29.600
why shouldn't we be able to get on delta yeah but here but here's my base thinking and it may be an
00:08:34.180
unpopular view do members of congress really get better the more time we spend in washington dc
00:08:39.720
around the political action committees and the lobbyists i mean when we all centralize here
00:08:45.220
it makes it real darn easy for the lobbyists to run the show because it's easier to buy everybody off
00:08:50.920
if everybody's in the same place now i'm the only republican in congress that doesn't take any
00:08:55.520
pack money because i find it to be a completely disgusting exchange of favors for for cash and uh
00:09:02.400
you know i just think maybe i don't know there might be something to draining the swamp by having
00:09:07.720
members of congress actually have to sit in their districts look their fellow americans in the eye who
00:09:13.440
elected them and be truly accountable to the people in this country not to the special interests in the
00:09:18.140
so let me know what you think remote voting get people out of the swamp before their constituents
00:09:24.160
away from the lobbyists away from the packs put in the comments section whether or not you would agree
00:09:29.660
that remote voting could actually make washington better by getting more of congress out of washington
00:09:36.060
big tech ceos including twitter's jack dorsey and facebook's mark zuckerberg were before the senate
00:09:45.960
to talk about censorship and de-platforming senator mike lee called out their approach during the 2020
00:09:53.940
election as distinctly partisan take a listen both twitter and facebook represent and have represented
00:10:01.160
for years to their users their customers that they take a neutral approach to election content moderation
00:10:09.920
however as we've heard today and as we will continue to hear today and into the foreseeable future
00:10:18.060
uh there are instances in which your platforms are taking a very distinctively partisan approach
00:10:28.460
and not a neutral one to election related content moderation and as democrats were increasingly wanting
00:10:34.940
to see more censorship more lockdown more control for big tech senator cruz correctly pointed out how dangerous
00:10:42.660
that could be i will say it's dismaying listening to the questions from our democratic colleagues
00:10:47.180
because consistently the message from senate democrats is for facebook and twitter and google
00:10:54.260
to censor more to abuse their power more to silence voices that senate democrats disagree with more
00:11:03.700
that is very dangerous if we want to maintain a free and fair democracy if we want to maintain free speech
00:11:14.560
there was a time when democrats embraced and defended the principles of free speech there was a time when
00:11:20.740
democrats embraced and defended the principles of a free press and yet there's an absolute silence from
00:11:27.580
democrats speaking up for democrats speaking out for the citizens silenced by big tech instead there is a demand
00:11:39.320
use even more power to silence dissent and that's a totalitarian instinct that i think is very dangerous
00:11:46.520
at the same time that big tech exercises massive power it also enjoys massive corporate welfare
00:11:57.520
through the effect of section 230 a special immunity from liability that nobody else gets congress has given big tech
00:12:05.480
in effect a subsidy while they become some of the wealthiest corporations on the face of the planet
00:12:13.800
and so we continue to see this pattern where ceos are brought in they're berated by senators but
00:12:19.500
nothing has changed regarding the rules the regulations the laws that govern big tech
00:12:24.620
president trump was working to see more of his administration confirm america first patriots
00:12:31.680
who would actually push back on big tech rather than being their lapdogs and that may be interrupted
00:12:38.060
so we've got to continue to keep our foot on the gas pedal we've got to continue to push reforms
00:12:44.220
and that's certainly what i'll do so that we have online freedom so that we have the ability to have
00:12:50.080
discussions and debate about things that may not be comfortable that may be difficult remember the
00:12:57.140
first amendment doesn't exist to protect comfortable speech it exists to protect uncomfortable speech and
00:13:02.560
if we can't have the freedom to express ourselves online i guess we have to ask what the point of the
00:13:07.240
first amendment is anyway because we start from the proposition that the airwaves are owned by the people
00:13:14.120
of our country and while certainly these technology companies aren't they're private companies i don't
00:13:20.400
think that they should have the ability to define acceptable debate in america
00:13:24.720
breitbart scored a great interview with the president's nominee to be ambassador to afghanistan
00:13:33.760
ambassador nominee will ruger trump can cement his legacy by ending the afghanistan war and it's by our
00:13:41.220
friend christina wong president trump can cement his legacy as the president who ended america's longest
00:13:48.200
war if he withdraws all u.s troops or greatly reduces their numbers in afghanistan the president's
00:13:55.080
nominee for u.s ambassador to afghanistan william ruger said on monday quote he would be the first
00:14:01.040
president since at least reagan to not start a major new war and he'd be the president who got us out
00:14:07.920
of america's longest war that's what the president should want in the first paragraph of the history
00:14:13.980
of his presidency i could not agree more the war in afghanistan has gone on too long it's cost too much
00:14:21.900
in terms of our nation's treasure and the blood of our bravest patriots let's hope that the accelerated
00:14:29.160
work now of the trump administration in these weeks continues that we are successful in bringing
00:14:34.800
this drawdown into focus and that we allow america's great patriots our great warriors to be home by
00:14:43.540
buckalupo.com's sofia carbone has a hot take end the war on traditional gender roles arguably one of the
1.00
00:14:55.520
most dangerous assaults on western culture is the rejection and subsequent unfurling of traditional
00:15:01.480
gender roles according to the peace and the argument being made is that when you look at the successes
00:15:07.960
of western civilization it relies upon a strong family and within a family there are opportunities
00:15:14.700
for men to use their masculinity in productive ways and the same with femininity and carbone argues that
00:15:23.380
when you see stuff like harry styles you know in a dress on the cover of vogue magazine that's not
00:15:30.220
like some transformational breakthrough that's going to advance society that is really showing
00:15:37.100
young men who idolize harry styles that they too can reject their masculinity and it's also showing
00:15:43.520
women i think the fluid nature of kind of some of these representations here's my hot take absolutely
00:15:51.200
the traditional family ought to be seen as the model and of course just like any model there are going to
00:15:57.620
be folks who fall outside of it who live different kind of lives and we shouldn't be mean to those
00:16:03.360
people we should not in you know allow them to have fewer rights we shouldn't allow others to pick on
00:16:08.780
them but that doesn't mean that the standard in america that the standard for western civilization
00:16:14.700
shouldn't be reflective of the types of strong institutions in families and in churches that have
00:16:22.820
proven pretty successful and pretty productive for the american way of life so it's thebuccalupo.com
00:16:30.140
check it out critiquing the critiquers on gender it's quite the hot take
00:16:34.680
on our 115th episode back in october we talked about the applicability of mouthwash to potentially
00:16:45.120
reduce the viral load of coronavirus in someone's saliva and we've actually got a follow-up to that report
00:16:52.460
sky news showing us that if the mouthwash has the ingredient set applied in them that that can be
00:16:59.900
effective according to some of the initial trials they've still got to be peer-reviewed but in this
00:17:05.160
12-week trial at the university hospital of wales we saw that there was some promising evidence of this so
00:17:13.280
out in wales i guess whether the coronavirus is a factor or not use the mouthwash and let's hope that
00:17:21.220
we find more and more remedies to be able to reduce the viral load reduce the rate of infection reduce
00:17:27.200
the contagiousness and help the our fellow people of the world a deal with this pandemic thanks for
