00:00:00.000 you ever watch this guy on television you all were not telling the truth and you should not
00:00:06.140 be trusted congressman matt gates thank you for what you did for your country tonight be offended
00:00:09.800 with the democratic whip not house republicans like a machine matt gates
00:00:14.000 welcome to hot takes i'm congressman matt gates let's talk about the news out of the state of
00:00:21.560 michigan state representative cynthia johnson made a facebook live video where she expressly
00:00:27.960 called on people to hurt trump supporters to harm them to make them pay take a listen so this is
00:00:34.820 just a warning to you trumpers be careful walk lightly we ain't playing with you enough of the
00:00:48.320 shenanigans enough is enough and for those of you who are soldiers
00:00:57.560 you know how to do it do it right be in order make them pay michigan's speaker of the house has
00:01:08.860 responded by stripping state representative cynthia johnson of her committee assignments following
00:01:14.580 this video saying that neither republicans nor democrats should be threatened and we fully
00:01:20.500 endorse that there are many places in the world where political violence is necessary for survival
00:01:27.160 to carve out a country but america is not one such place we have no reason to be violent toward one
00:01:34.160 another as a result of our politics and we stand in solidarity with those who reject political violence
00:01:40.380 and accept the notion that we can resolve our differences with debate and discussion and
00:01:46.140 adherence to the rule of law are those who are vaccinated still going to be required to wear
00:01:54.740 masks that's the question posed by the new york times the new vaccines will probably prevent you
00:02:00.800 from getting sick with covid no one knows yet whether they will keep you from spreading the virus to
00:02:06.940 others but that information is coming now the reason this new york times piece is relevant is
00:02:12.440 because we've we initially heard joe biden and elements of his transition say that there would
00:02:18.720 be a mask mandate they leaked that they floated it as a test balloon and the response was very loud
00:02:25.820 and very negative to a national mask mandate so now we've heard biden himself come out and say
00:02:30.840 a hundred days to wear a mask just a hundred days and all i kept thinking when biden was saying that
00:02:36.360 i was like wasn't wasn't this the crowd that kind of told us 14 days to slow the spread
00:02:40.760 the kind of fauci-led apparatus that biden seems to be embracing if 14 days to slow the spread
00:02:48.680 resulted in months of lockdowns and now even the ratcheting up of lockdowns in some places
00:02:55.900 you have to wonder if a hundred days to wear a mask is really joe biden's effort to put america under
00:03:03.120 a de facto mask mandate for quite some time and when you see the mainstream media the new york times with
00:03:09.840 all of their biases and agendas coming out and saying well if you're vaccinated you still have
00:03:13.900 to wear the mask it does tend to lead one to think that that may be signaling for policy choices
00:03:20.520 that may be coming forward and that joe biden may be advocating for i think it's best when we trust our
00:03:27.620 people when we care for each other when we do what we can when necessary to wear a mask keep distance
00:03:34.720 sanitize but i mean if you've had the virus and you have active antibodies and it wasn't all that long
00:03:40.640 ago you're largely wearing the mask for social reasons not for medical reasons and what we don't
00:03:49.440 want to see is an environment where despite the vaccine despite having the antibodies we're just all
00:03:55.920 wearing the masks for the sake of wearing masks not for the sake of public health i think we ought to put
00:04:01.500 science data first and i'm not sure that supports 100 days of mask wearing particularly for those
00:04:08.980 who have antibodies and who get the vaccine but check out all sides we'll post the new york times story
00:04:15.000 let me know what you think
00:04:16.200 the federal trade commission has called for a breakup of facebook requiring them to sell off assets such as
00:04:27.040 instagram and whatsapp take a listen to the story from nbc news some big news today the federal trade
00:04:33.400 commission suing to break up facebook the ftc is asking a federal court to force the sell-off of
00:04:39.520 assets like instagram and whatsapp meanwhile 48 attorneys general also filing a separate lawsuit today
00:04:45.980 new york's ag letitia james leading that suit releasing this statement for nearly a decade facebook has
00:04:52.000 used its dominance and monopoly power to crush smaller rivals and snuff out competition all at
00:04:58.320 the expense of everyday users we have been saying for quite some time on this podcast that legislative
00:05:05.080 action from the congress would never free our country from big tech tyranny because congress is
00:05:11.420 totally bought and paid for by big tech and so it was always going to take an entity like the fcc or
00:05:19.740 the federal elections commission or the federal trade commission as is the case here to step forward
00:05:24.980 to utilize their authority to understand that the very reason that some of these agencies exist is to
00:05:32.460 deforce the decision making that our country needs from the politics and the campaign donation for
00:05:40.300 political favor paradigm that toxifies our government here in washington dc so i'm grateful that the ftc is
00:05:48.340 taking this step and i'm hopeful that they'll see it through this news about the ftc comes right
00:05:53.960 alongside the news we reported on the podcast yesterday that the fcc is seeing its membership
00:05:59.580 change with the addition of nathan simington the senate just confirming him nathan simington the trump
00:06:06.380 administration appointee who we believe will take the fight to big tech will reset the relationship
00:06:13.140 between consumers and digital platforms online and facebook is one of the worst violators they engage in
00:06:21.800 anti-competitive practices and i'm glad that the ftc is doing something about it
00:06:27.440 if you need a little reason for optimism you might find it in the latest report from ucla that economic
00:06:38.420 conditions could be improving for the united states and we pick up the story from the business section
00:06:43.820 of the la times get ready for another roaring 20s ucla economic forecast predicts now this forecast is
00:06:52.300 heavily rooted in the belief that the vaccines developed by the trump administration during operation
00:06:57.980 warp speed will be deployed that they will be utilized and that they will build confidence in the marketplace
00:07:04.300 and then that vaccine development paired with the pent-up demand particularly for travel and vacation
00:07:12.140 spending will create an economic jolt starting in 2021 toward the back end of that year and we
00:07:19.180 certainly hope that's the case we just hope that the lockdowns that have been imposed by a lot of these
00:07:26.280 left-leaning mayors and governors haven't created such a permanent scarring on our economy that we won't be
00:07:33.880 able to fully realize this rebound that the ucla study predicts when businesses are extinguished when
00:07:42.020 lives are ruined when careers are interrupted it's not always just so easy to flip the light switch back
00:07:48.040 on we have to do a lot in this country to encourage small business growth and this economic forecast from
00:07:54.800 ucla would seem to say that the economic conditions created by the policies of the trump administration
00:08:02.900 could be enduring that we might be able to catch that updraft yet again with low taxes a good
00:08:10.160 regulatory climate and what we're really missing now is that confidence with our businesses and with
00:08:16.020 our consumers that will get through this pandemic in a way that allows them to be able to invest again
00:08:21.700 and grow so we're hopeful that the optimistic ucla forecast is correct and if it is true that our best days
00:08:29.060 are ahead undoubtedly the policy choices that were made during the trump administration have put us
00:08:35.340 in the position to succeed is america's neighbor to the north getting a little too cozy with our
00:08:45.020 principal adversary that of course is china we get the story from rebelnews.com secret military documents
00:08:53.160 trudeau invited chinese troops to train at canadian military bases and here the story talks about cold
00:09:00.980 weather training specifically that was allowed in canada also the utilization of canadian military to
00:09:08.220 participate in the world military games also a number of people associated with trudeau's government in
00:09:16.140 canada going to canada going to china traveling there for conferences and exchanges the china files
00:09:22.900 were apparently accessed by rebel news in detail this very cozy relationship between trudeau and china and
00:09:30.220 you know this submissive approach that trudeau has it doesn't just appear to be his personal affection
00:09:37.180 for china it appears to be the official policy of the government and that it is truly infected canada
00:09:44.300 deep into their agencies of civil service as well we'll continue to follow the story check it out on rebelnews.com
00:09:52.920 this morning i joined the crew over at fox and friends to discuss the evolving scandal regarding
00:10:02.020 congressman eric swalwell congressman kevin mccarthy the republican leader has called for the removal of
00:10:07.960 swalwell from congress others have called for his removal from the intelligence committee it's my
00:10:13.480 perspective that only the voters should really get to decide who their member of congress is but
00:10:18.900 certainly when you look at sensitive committee assignments you want to make sure that you've got
00:10:23.240 folks there who are very resilient against efforts for foreign interference here's my discussion on fox
00:10:30.520 and friends yeah you just don't understand brian that eric swalwell is here to help in fact he wants to
00:10:35.820 help so much in confronting china that he spent years super spreading the lies of the russia hoax
00:10:42.920 you know i don't blame eric swalwell for being targeted by foreign intelligence but i'm old enough to remember
00:10:49.380 when lev parnas showed up and made a few donations at republican events that was wall-to-wall coverage from the
00:10:55.760 media you know that was supposedly like the crime of the century but when eric swalwell engages in a very close
00:11:01.720 relationship with clearly an agent of communist china well that's deemed as something we can just
00:11:07.860 accept and move on my suspicion is you'll continue to hear republicans very critical we also talked
00:11:13.080 about the breaking news regarding investigations into hunter biden and the media's desire to shield
00:11:19.940 the american people for the from the truth about the biden family and their foreign entanglements
00:11:25.700 here's that talk notice that the biden transition tried to frame this scandal as a dispute about taxes
00:11:31.980 maybe something an accountant got wrong the reality is this isn't about taxes it's about foreign
00:11:37.900 entanglements it's about selling american influence to the highest bidder and it appears something the
00:11:43.620 biden's are quite familiar with but if in the trump justice department there wasn't vigor to ensure that
00:11:50.100 there was equity and application of the law here i'm not sure that anyone at the justice department
00:11:55.240 right now thinks they're going to make their career by going after hunter biden i also think it's
00:12:00.820 important to know how the media was covering this remember we've got project veritas recordings of
00:12:06.000 the editorial calls from cnn where jeff zucker instead of delving into this story used the biden
00:12:12.760 laptop existence as a way to smear fox news smear the new york post smear breitbart smear anyone who
00:12:19.320 is telling the american people the truth about the biden's a major move by big tech to limit the
00:12:28.880 information you have to stop you from making your own judgments and decisions about the things that
00:12:34.860 are happening in our country youtube announcing that they will censor information about this last
00:12:42.040 election that doesn't fit with their narrative we know there were a number of irregularities there's
00:12:48.960 circumstantial evidence of fraud there are affidavits regarding limitation of access and there are
00:12:56.020 anomalies regarding batches of ballots that are very difficult to explain you also see in wisconsin
00:13:02.120 circumstances where election chiefs violated election law in the vote by mail process by not requiring
00:13:11.620 sufficient authentication request validation of those vote by mail ballots you'll hear it on this
00:13:18.940 podcast but they don't want you to see it on youtube anymore tucker carlson covered what's
00:13:25.480 happening and what it means for our country take a listen in a blog post a youtube owned by google
00:13:31.300 vowed that its teams are working around the clock to stop what it called harmful misinformation and
00:13:36.080 harmful content they said they're deeply concerned about quote making sure our platform isn't abused to
00:13:43.200 incite real world harm now what does that mean exactly coming from a company that has caused so much
00:13:49.840 quote real world harm well youtube explained quote we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today
00:13:56.660 or anytime after that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors change the outcome of the
00:14:03.240 2020 presidential election the irony here is enough to make you dizzy the company that rigged the election
00:14:11.100 by suppressing legitimate information in order to influence the outcome of the election more effectively than
00:14:16.620 any foreign government could ever do is now telling us to preserve our faith in the election they need to censor
00:14:22.720 us more so how exactly are election related videos causing harm well youtube doesn't explain that they would cause
00:14:29.080 harm to youtube's reputation and google's reputation much deserved we need to break this company up like
00:14:33.900 immediately but youtube does go on to boast that its censorship campaign has already been underway for
00:14:39.560 quite some time quote since september we've terminated over 8 000 channels and thousands of harmful and
00:14:45.700 misleading election related videos for violating our existing policies they used the word terminated by the
00:14:50.500 way that's not creepy or anything continuing the quote over 77 of those removed videos were taken down
00:14:57.000 before they had 100 views what in the world is going on here ask rational questions and you reach a dead end
00:15:05.140 because there are no rational answers this is just flat out totalitarian control over the population we will
00:15:13.940 always believe in the power of americans to filter through a variety of information sources and then to be able to
00:15:21.940 ascertain the nuggets of truth in a sea of bias and agenda and attempts to seize power because at the
00:15:29.820 end of the day that's really what these tech companies and mainstream media companies want they want the power
00:15:35.660 to control what you see and hear because ultimately they want to be in charge of how you act and how you
00:15:43.040 behave we are a better country than to ever allow that to happen thanks for listening to hot takes i'm
