The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz - Episode 148 LIVE： Send Them Back! (feat. Rep. Andy Ogles) – Firebrand with Matt Gaetz

00:00:00.000 matt gates the biggest firebrand inside of the house of representatives you're not taking matt

00:00:08.460 gates off the board okay because matt gates is an american patriot and matt gates is an american

00:00:13.780 hero we will not continue to allow the uniparty to run this town without a fight i want to thank 1.00

00:00:20.940 you matt gates for holding the line matt gates is a courageous man if we had hundreds of matt gates

00:00:28.380 in dc the country turns around it's that simple he's so tough he's so strong he's smart and he

00:00:35.120 loves this country matt gates it is the honor of my life to fight alongside each and every one of you

00:00:42.940 we will save america it's choose your fighter time send in the firebrands 0.76

00:00:48.840 what is being done to uh get the public uh to really uh rise up in various states to say to

00:01:02.780 their senators that they want to see the borders uh the border issue resolved i mean you're getting

00:01:10.160 migrants beating up policemen in the streets in new york you're seeing an influx of migrants all 1.00

00:01:16.840 over the country that frankly have people outraged and couldn't there be some kind of public pressure

00:01:23.740 put in the next couple of days in some of these senator states saying why are you allowing this to

00:01:30.260 continue because at the end of the day senators have to deal with their voters and at the same time

00:01:36.820 in the bill you give uh uh money to gaza to the civilians in gaza and israel but the border i mean

00:01:45.180 we're looking every day at the invasion of migrants and they're playing a time game with politics on this

00:01:52.120 couldn't that pressure put the bear in their home states

00:01:55.060 al sharpton calling the invasion what it is asking for people to rise up and let their senators know

00:02:05.140 that they've got to uh have changes on border policy i could not believe that was al sharpton

00:02:11.800 uh but now we've got my orcas impeachment vote in just moments we've got this uh government funding

00:02:19.140 coming a due due in march and the senate border deal has been blown up because of great house

00:02:25.000 conservatives like my guest for this episode andy ogles of tennessee congressman ogles is in his

00:02:29.940 first term but he has been in a lot of the major fights to change washington a fiscal hawk kind of

00:02:35.480 came up really as an activist as a frontline activist in the conservative movement and now

00:02:40.640 represents some of the great areas kind of outside around the nashville areas and due south all right

00:02:45.640 well it is uh lovely to have you here so first let's just talk about where we are on the mayorkas

00:02:51.900 impeachment it's being debated right now and uh we've been hearing the discussions in conference

00:02:57.740 some folks saying oh well this is just maladministration it's not actually an impeachable offense

00:03:04.080 we've heard others lay out the human trafficking uh the smuggling the uh obstruction uh the mistrust

00:03:12.100 uh abuse of the public trust so how would you characterize how that's going on within the

00:03:16.640 republican conference well i mean you heard al sharpton i mean calling it an invasion i don't know

00:03:21.580 that i've ever heard sharpton say anything that i agreed with uh and so the fact that you have

00:03:27.240 al sharpton saying that we're being invaded is that's i rest my case right and then so you look

00:03:33.220 at the southern border so let's say matt you and i we take one of your uh your amazing listeners and

00:03:39.040 the three of us would go down the southern border and the three of us aid 12 people to come into this

00:03:44.160 country illegally you know what happens next all three of our asses go to jail that's right but my 0.92

00:03:49.200 orcas aids and abeds eight million people coming into this country and nothing's happened it's not 0.94

00:03:55.160 only criminal uh or impeachable it's criminal and i would argue it's treasonous we have terror cells

00:04:00.280 operating in this country we have iranian assassins with a hit list that was testified to before congress

00:04:06.960 operating in this country and what is this administration doing about it nothing biden keeps

00:04:13.260 getting lost in the rose garden i mean it's not by accident that that is if if my orcas were just an

00:04:18.480 incompetent dude and the border were open like that would justify the holman rule taking his salary to zero

00:04:24.800 constraining his authorities but this is a highly competent individual who is executing a tragic and

00:04:31.160 illegal plan against the united states now the senate had their approach to to the border legislation

00:04:37.380 and like what was so funny is there were a lot of discussions with house leadership and more senior

00:04:42.160 members saying oh well we're going to get jammed by this senate bill this senate bill is going to be

00:04:46.920 just so overwhelmingly popular that we'll be forced to take things we don't want on maybe

00:04:51.780 ukraine or deficit spending but we'll just have to take these border provisions and when the public

00:04:57.280 found out it doesn't end catch and release it doesn't end the unrestricted abuse of parole from

00:05:03.660 the biden administration it has this 5 000 person a day trigger which by the way joe biden can wave

00:05:08.820 at any point for 45 days it gives him all this additional emergency authority 1.4 billion in grants to the

00:05:16.660 open border ngos so you'll be funding the invasion too while it's happening uh according to those

00:05:22.800 numbers and you know typically the senate rolls us man i mean i know you're you're in your freshman

00:05:28.860 term but i've been here so many years where mitch will stitch together one of these omnibus bills and

00:05:34.340 we're just forced to take it and in no time we blew this thing out of the water what what do you think

00:05:39.840 contributed to that reversal of fortune well i mean the name of your show firebrands right you know 0.98

00:05:44.980 conservatives we stood up and said no hell no we called it what it was it was total garbage and

00:05:52.160 then the american people i mean when you've got al sharpton talking about an invasion when you've got 0.98

00:05:56.760 the mayor of chicago or the mayor of new york saying please close the border i mean i don't understand

00:06:02.000 what the senate was thinking i mean they totally misread the tea leaves on this one not to mention the

00:06:07.480 60 billion dollars for ukraine i mean that's that's more money than we gave our marine corps last year i mean

00:06:14.740 this this is absurd you know the marine corps budget's like 53.8 billion and we're going to

00:06:19.420 give ukraine another 60 so we're funding their military but not our own i mean this is this is

00:06:24.560 absurd and so to all of you listening this is why you matter this is why your voice matters and it's 0.60

00:06:30.180 important for you to engage and then and i thank you for that so we're moments away from the mayorkas

00:06:35.100 impeachment vote i don't know how that vote's going to go i'm not going to make any prediction what i can

00:06:39.080 tell you is there has been debate within the republican conference and absent unanimity you

00:06:44.540 always can count on the democrats to line up behind their guy now maybe there are a few democrats in

00:06:48.980 some swing seats who want to vote to impeach mayorkas uh we'll see if they if they they have

00:06:54.000 to uh turn up their head but here's what i know however the vote goes this needed to happen it should

00:06:58.560 have happened long ago and if people don't think that mayorkas has committed impeachable offenses

00:07:02.920 on the border then that's between them and their district and i'll let them explain that and deal

00:07:08.100 with that whether they're republican or democrats but you have uh a specific proposal that you're

00:07:13.560 going to announce on the program a kind of concept on how to think about the people who are here

00:07:18.900 illegally lay it out for us well you know it's called the send them back act and i think you and

00:07:24.040 i can agree that you know there's eight million people that have to be deported uh and so you have

00:07:29.860 to pick a date so we we picked the beginning of the biden administration so that goes back to january 20th

00:07:35.180 21 and i would also argue that you you've got to go back further in time and begin processing people

00:07:41.360 out of this country but you've got to start somewhere you've got to you know how do you

00:07:44.800 eat an elephant one bite at a time so this is an approach where we're going to start deporting

00:07:49.040 people so it's a fast track approach that if you came into this country illegally under the biden

00:07:53.980 administration you would be uh quite frankly eligible if you will for expedited removal so this

00:08:00.120 would be the biggest deportation in american history ever contemplated that's right i mean

00:08:05.620 this is the legislative exoskeleton for what president trump is talking about and how to

00:08:11.920 remediate what has occurred because that's kind of the difference between where we are now in 2016

00:08:16.780 right in 2016 it was you know build the wall then then you got to figure out how to get the criminals

00:08:22.360 out now it's like no no there are millions of people here even people who like have committed the

00:08:28.580 crime of unlawful entry but haven't re-offended those people have to go according to this yeah i

00:08:33.960 mean look i think we can both agree that our immigration process is broken it needs to be fixed

00:08:40.860 but that's a separate conversation that's a separate problem that has its own solution we have people

00:08:46.980 coming into this country illegally we are a country of laws they have to be enforced and the moment that we 1.00

00:08:53.940 give up on the rule of law then we are lost as a republic we've got to enforce this and it's going

00:08:59.020 to be painful it's going to be ugly but there is you talk about mayorkas being an intelligent

00:09:03.860 individual i personally believe that he is trying to flood texas new mexico and arizona with this new

00:09:11.200 class of voter that the democrats can get hooked on cell phones and food stamps and welfare whatever else

00:09:17.440 so that those three states are forever blue this is a methodical this is about stealing our country

00:09:22.340 and i'm not going to stand for it well and it's also reapportionment like people think well maybe

00:09:26.620 i have a really good supervisor of elections or i've got a really good attorney general that would 0.88

00:09:30.600 never let the illegal aliens vote at the end of the day if they're getting counted in the census 0.99

00:09:34.860 which by the way they are then you start to see states like ohio losing congressional seats and

00:09:40.420 those congressional seats can reappear in blue states where they've chosen to be sanctuaries and allow

00:09:45.000 these people to come so that is a shift in political power that they are trying to achieve

00:09:49.760 through illegal immigration that's right and and uh it brings us to kind of you know thinking about

00:09:55.640 this upcoming uh budget fight that we have in march uh all the talk about the need for a border bill

00:10:04.680 has resulted in house speaker johnson and many others concluding that actually joe biden could close

00:10:11.100 the border anytime he wanted like all you have to do is reinstitute the trump policies and and don't

00:10:16.640 abuse the parole authority and the asylum authority and this is like an eight-point plan to solve the

00:10:21.920 problem like do you think we need the republican majority needs a bill in the house because i worry

00:10:27.400 if we think we have to have an immigration bill then like we're willing to trade something that the

00:10:33.220 america last crowd wants for it and at the end of the day what we actually just need is joe biden to

00:10:37.640 secure the border well he i mean you and i both know your audience knows he has the power today you

00:10:42.460 didn't have this problem under trump quite frankly we didn't have these numbers under obama so this

00:10:47.300 isn't an issue of laws this isn't an issue of a wall this isn't an issue of offense this is a biden

00:10:52.500 administration that is willfully letting our country be invaded it's treasonous i'm sick and tired of this

00:10:58.420 administration they're screwing the american people and we've got to continue to fight and so yes

00:11:03.000 he can close the border and we passed house bill two we had a border security bill we've done our job

00:11:08.480 is roughly eight months ago right and so why do we need to pass something else why would we want

00:11:13.200 to trade to get screwed by the senate so you think the position of the house should be hr2 that's our

00:11:19.140 position that's right there's not there's not some retreat off of that that you think achieves it and

00:11:23.840 and what i think reinforces that theory is what our colleague andy biggs often says is that even if

00:11:29.540 hr2 were a law like that will be great when donald trump is president because then a republican

00:11:34.960 president would have the tools to uh have expanded removal authority basically what you're proposing

00:11:41.380 in the send them back act is this expedited removal authority give a republican administration the extra

00:11:47.420 tools to do that but when you're dealing with the lawless biden administration like what's to stop

00:11:52.060 them from just memoing over hr2 it's like we've got a new interpretation of like you know economic duress

00:11:57.820 that that creates this whole new asylum structure well i mean it's kind of like you know talking about the

00:12:02.680 tools that we're trying to equip trump to have the right tools to do the job that needs to be done

00:12:07.200 uh so it's the new year you made a resolution you've got all this great workout equipment in

00:12:12.560 your garage you've got all the two tools necessary to be fit and in shape but if you don't use those

00:12:17.640 tools if all you're doing is sitting on the couch and eating doritos you're not going to make a change

00:12:21.880 and that's a problem with this administration they've got the tools they need already on the

00:12:25.960 books and they're not doing their job so what will people think of us if we don't force them to use

00:12:30.260 them well we got to keep trying right and what do you think is the best leverage point because to me

00:12:35.360 it's the government funding fight yeah absolutely like this supplemental the power of the purse mcconnell

00:12:40.540 just went and executed his own supplemental he walked senator langford off the plank we've talked

00:12:45.780 extensively about how bad that deal was but like when mitch mcconnell is is is putting the slug in the

00:12:51.500 back of the head of the bill i mean that was just that that showed that we can win if we force these

00:12:57.500 things to be evaluated separately insanely um but i don't think that we have we have to pin our hopes

00:13:03.940 for a secure border on some supplemental we should say no we have a budgeting process we want to use

00:13:09.280 whatever leverage we have is one half of one third of the government to get them to do what we we know

00:13:15.100 and they know would actually achieve achieve the problem i'll give you the last word on a the send

00:13:19.140 them back act or any other border matter well i mean again i just underscore you know this is why

00:13:23.980 that your your governors you know it matters who leads right it matters who your governor is and so

00:13:28.880 kudos to abbott for taking a stand for texas and keep in mind you know the supreme court ruling said

00:13:33.660 the federal government can take down the wire but but abbott can keep putting it up and so we need the

00:13:38.340 states to engage look let's face it the congress is a big ship it turns slowly uh our states are more

00:13:44.520 nimble and they can help lead the fight but we need governors like abbott or lee or desantis or some of

00:13:49.580 these other governors to say look enough is enough we're going to take charge we're going to stand with

00:13:53.580 abbott we're going to send the national guard and meanwhile you and i and others can put forward

00:13:57.960 good pieces of legislation like send them back to start that dialogue and that conversation that this 0.82

00:14:03.060 is our country we get to pick who comes here and we get to choose who has to leave and it seems as

00:14:08.600 though you've selected the order and it's kind of last in first out which not only i think is

00:14:14.240 practically best it's what's most fair that's right uh great andy ogles the great state of tennessee

00:14:19.900 an awesome firebrand thanks for joining me i want to give you guys a quick look into what went down

00:14:25.080 in the house weaponization subcommittee earlier there was this discussion of the use of ai for

00:14:30.460 censorship so all that you feared about the pressure that government was putting on big tech

00:14:35.200 to censor now they're using ai to achieve it at scale take a listen

00:14:38.820 so mr edgerson as i understand the national science foundation they take government money and then they dole it

00:14:47.700 out in the form of grants to colleges and universities that then build censorship tools

00:14:53.160 that big tech then relies on so that big tech has an arm's length away from the censorship that's

00:15:00.100 shaping viewpoint is that essentially what you're reporting concludes essentially this track f program

00:15:06.040 which was through the convergence accelerator program awarded the 750 000 grants to 12 initial projects

00:15:12.260 and then six of these continued on to have an additional five million dollars in funding

00:15:17.320 most of these are at universities some of them are private companies as well developing these tools

00:15:23.260 but they are all yeah and we're gonna and mr eisen i guess my question to you if i if if you're done

00:15:30.660 texting um would be like is that okay with you what nsf has done

00:15:35.940 as a veteran of committee staff i should uh know better uh mr gates i have not had the opportunity

00:15:48.160 to uh study the report okay okay well let me go through some of the grant requests then so the

00:15:54.380 might i finish my sentence please mr gates i can just finish the sentence i know you were finishing

00:16:00.720 your text earlier i'm going to finish the question so mr gates just for the record i was asking for

00:16:06.420 the law that governs i'm going to be susceptible i'd ask my time to be restored mr eisen mr eisen

00:16:13.660 the question is the mit grant that said that people in rural communities were particularly

00:16:18.980 susceptible to misinformation do you have an opinion on that i do have an opinion mr gates as you know

00:16:26.980 there are two texts that are holy to me because mr gates and i have talked before one is our torah

00:16:34.380 our bible that i live by i'm an observant person that is a holy text to me and i have the deepest

00:16:44.580 respect and i have traveled to those places i guess mr i guess the problem is can i can i please

00:16:50.220 finish my answers the other text that is holy to me is the constitution in my quick review of this

00:16:57.580 report those are my two holy texts and i share that with the chairman and others on this i know that

00:17:03.140 uh in my quick review of the report it appeared to me that a great deal of the evidence

00:17:09.760 related to legitimate sponsorship of scientific and technological research okay well let me stop you

00:17:17.860 there mr eisen because here's the problem while you indicate that the torah and the constitution

00:17:22.540 are your sacred texts if americans indicate online that the bible and the constitution are sacred to

00:17:31.680 them the very grants that are being issued by the nsf would deem those people in a separate and

00:17:39.940 diminished class where they would be oh it indeed it is precisely in the i have the materials here no

00:17:47.620 sir i would request that the committee release the testimony of kate starboard the university of

00:17:53.480 washington scientist the former that wasn't this grant that you're talking about a different grant

00:17:58.520 mr eisen she mit explained she mit said that if you're rural if you're part of a military family

00:18:05.260 if you view the bible and the constitution is sacred then you're going to be and you know why

00:18:11.220 they said you're uniquely susceptible to misinformation because if you think the bible and the constitution

00:18:15.460 are sacred you might not rely on the expert class right you might not rely on all the folks in dc and

00:18:23.100 at all the think tanks and that's really what people have to rely on and so when when we're taking

00:18:27.600 government money to go and try to to harm people who have a particular religious view or a particular

00:18:34.980 view on constitution i i would think that in that type of a circumstance we aren't crying wolf when

00:18:40.900 there's none at the door mr gates if we can talk about that material in context if we can have the

00:18:47.960 full context of the committee's investigation the ranking member has said there are 29 depositions

00:18:54.260 that this committee has taken this isn't about any of those this is about the when mit wanted the grant

00:18:59.380 that miss richardson was just talking about right they went and made a presentation to nsf and they said

00:19:04.440 here's why you want to pick mit in order to do it and it was to target military families people in

00:19:11.140 rural communities people who believed in the bible and the constitution and then guess what with these 0.72

00:19:15.400 ai tools if you stack that up maybe you're a person in a rural community who loves both the bible and the

00:19:22.380 constitution well then you're really susceptible to misinformation because the expert class thinks

00:19:27.180 better have you seen the movie have you seen the movie minority report tom cruise yes i have seen

00:19:34.900 that doesn't this kind of feel like that that you're trying to do that that it's coming to life

00:19:39.380 before our very eyes may i answer the government funding these predictive analytics to go after

00:19:45.020 americans and here's what i think is actually true it's not that military families and rural americans

00:19:49.980 and people who love the bible and constitution are dumber or uniquely susceptible to anything it's just 0.89

00:19:54.980 they don't think like how the expert class and the national science foundation wants them to think 0.97

00:19:59.300 and so they're trying to program what they see so they can control what they behave and that is the

00:20:03.400 true weaponization this committee will stand against i yield back

00:20:06.020 we are back live and uh i still got that problem sasha i'm gonna take this off came back so we're back

00:20:15.400 live and uh the live chat very fired up on the exchange with norm eisen and uh you know it is

00:20:22.880 something when these folks come before our committee and then they try to have this grand

00:20:27.800 performance when you just want them to answer the question as to whether or not they believe

00:20:32.220 in grants that are used for that type of targeting and then are they able to defend uh to defend that so

00:20:38.680 we'll continue to follow up on the use of ai for this particular censorship goal and i think we need

00:20:45.320 to legislate to stop it we also want to bring you of course the latest updates from our friends at

00:20:50.800 quiver quantitative on stock trading in the united states congress uh this one was one that caught my

00:20:58.080 interest senator tom carper here we go here's the tweet from from twitter quiver quantitative

00:21:06.360 just spotted a couple new trades it'll be worth keeping an eye on senator thomas carper just disclosed

00:21:11.740 purchases of stock in valero energy and equestrians midstream carper sits on the senate subcommittee

00:21:19.680 on energy natural resources and infrastructure isn't it something that the trading in a lot of

00:21:25.900 these cases not all but in a lot of these cases seems to align with some sort of committee assignment

00:21:30.540 either it's illegal or just an amazing coincidence but the winning stock trade i think this trade

00:21:39.080 netted her over a hundred thousand dollars nancy pelosi the unusual whale that she is but quiver 0.94

00:21:45.560 quantitative gives us this nvidia has now risen 35 percent since nancy pelosi bought call options

00:21:53.140 she has made hundreds of thousands of dollars in weeks and then quiver quantitative shows the 0.93

00:22:00.000 screenshots as to when those uh those call options were placed and then when they were executed on

00:22:06.260 hundreds of thousands in weeks for nancy pelosi very very impressive stock trader certainly that i

00:22:14.220 mentioned i think we should pass the stock act eli crane new co-sponsor of the stock act we get more

00:22:20.480 and more folks signing on so i'm excited about that we need to continue to get our pressure on lawmakers

00:22:26.080 to sign on these bills to end congressional stock trading so uh this was a clip that i saw about

00:22:33.160 financial markets that i wanted to share with everybody it comes from barry sternlick

00:22:40.280 he's the ceo of starward capital and he's talking about the major marketplace the major asset class

00:22:49.060 of office space and what it says about people returning to work and how folks who have retirement

00:22:55.760 accounts who have 401ks could see an asset class collapse take a listen

00:23:00.600 i've heard you talk about the balance sheet issue and we know there's close to a trillion dollars of

00:23:07.040 office space coming due you've said a nice little recession is going to bring people back to the

00:23:10.880 to these office happen today exactly ibm said you have to go back to work so but this this is a

00:23:16.980 uniquely u.s problem you say well we would have a problem in in real estate in every sector of real

00:23:22.660 estate not just office because of the 500 basis point increase in rates that was vertical the fact

00:23:27.920 that one asset class never recovered people never went back to work in the united states in the office

00:23:34.440 the office market has an existential crisis right now and and so you know there's it's a three

00:23:40.580 trillion dollar asset class that's probably worth 1.8 trillion there's 1.2 trillion of losses spread

00:23:46.860 somewhere and nobody knows exactly where it all is and a signature bank was sold and we bid on it

00:23:53.580 um there are buildings in new york that were 100 million dollar the guy bought it for 200 the loan was

00:23:58.340 100 we thought it was worth 30 million dollars there's a building for sale right now in san francisco

00:24:02.160 was bought for 8.50 a foot the loan was 450 a foot they'll sell it for 250 a foot i mean that's 25

00:24:07.600 cents on the dollar that would mean we lost three quarters of the of the total asset class now this

00:24:12.240 asset class is not just owned by rich people it's owned by pension plans and other people small

00:24:17.680 investors we're not just talking about towers we're talking about the buildings that surround

00:24:21.860 towns and municipalities but what happens to those cities there is what happens there is a bright spot

00:24:27.660 the office situation is a completely u.s phenomenon i just was in munich last week and rents in munich are

00:24:33.820 15 the vacancy rate in munich is two percent for class a in in seoul korea it's one percent um in tokyo

00:24:40.780 it's four percent everyone's back to work except for americans we've gone off the deep end we don't show

00:24:46.040 up for work we don't apply for jobs and we don't feel like we have to go back to the office

00:24:49.200 we are back live and debbie on x says that she basically lost her 401k under this administration

00:24:58.240 and this particular asset class it's interesting because if you think about it futuristically you're

00:25:04.320 going to have a ton of these office complexes and office spaces go into economic distress categories

00:25:11.920 they're going to fall into various types of bankruptcy depending on whether or not they're

00:25:15.940 spitting off any meaningful cash flow to be preserved and how they're organized but a lot

00:25:21.340 of them are like singly owned llc's and then even the land underneath is a separate llc so you're going

00:25:26.300 to have massive collapses in those and people are going to be able to go buy those distressed assets

00:25:32.180 for pennies on the dollar and they already have this built-in density right because they're all zoned

00:25:39.980 commercial and what's happening right now is that rural america like is resisting some of the urban

00:25:47.080 sprawl you're getting some protection of urban spaces we're under the most massive or of some

00:25:53.200 rural spaces what are some of the most massive challenges in terms of need for inventory and

00:25:59.160 housing people are paying enormous sums for housing and then you have this distressed asset class with a

00:26:05.180 ton of inventory so some smart developer is going to figure out how to go buy up these old office

00:26:10.920 buildings where no one's coming back to work and they're going to turn them into these like you know

00:26:15.420 food hall living space urban living areas and probably make a killing off of it but we'll be here trying

00:26:22.680 to save america and america's economy while that's happening up today i introduced legislation to declare

00:26:29.760 that donald trump did not participate in an insurrection i had a number of co-sponsors to

00:26:35.120 that we had a big press conference i want to bring you a couple a couple of the big moments take a listen

00:26:39.360 we are here today to authoritatively express that president trump did not commit an insurrection

00:26:47.740 and we believe congress has a unique role in making that declaration it's not the job of the states and

00:26:53.540 especially not the job of some bureaucrats in colorado to make this assessment and interfere with the

00:26:59.580 rights of voters to cast their vote for the candidate of their choice the very experts who often get on

00:27:05.820 television and talk about securing democracy seem to be the first to want to then remove a candidate

00:27:11.880 from the ballot because they are afraid that he is too popular we have 63 co-sponsors to the resolution

00:27:18.960 that miss stefanik and i will be filing today to express the sense of congress that president trump did not

00:27:25.620 commit an insurrection i want to express my gratitude to senator vance for filing the companion legislation

00:27:31.640 over in the senate and now it's time for members of the house and senate to show where they stand on

00:27:37.840 this question we and the former president welcome and expect many more co-sponsors in the coming days

00:27:43.540 and look forward to a floor vote

00:27:45.320 i spoke with president trump he was thrilled at the amount of support from the house of representatives

00:27:53.380 for this legislation expressing authoritatively that he did not participate in any sort of insurrection

00:28:00.100 or rebellion we know that to be the case but i think that this is an opportunity for all lawmakers

00:28:06.880 to sign on to this bill and to show where they stand 63 currently and we we expect that number to rise

00:28:14.400 actually it probably already has risen risen since uh since we started the program because we had a

00:28:18.840 number of calls coming in with members hearing from their constituents about how they wanted them

00:28:23.260 on the gates resolution and we welcome everyone to that cause but i would say probably the best

00:28:29.500 tongue lashing delivered to the media came from firebrand eli crane of arizona eli definitely did not

00:28:37.220 have decaf this morning take a listen you know what i love about this watching where president

00:28:44.320 trump is at in the polls i love it because it shows the american people don't trust you guys

00:28:50.020 and they shouldn't because you guys are full of it and everybody knows it there's a few honest

00:28:55.180 journalists in this town but they're very few and far between you know how i know it wasn't an

00:28:59.660 insurrection because he hasn't been charged with insurrection and we can all see by the law fair

00:29:05.880 how he's facing up over 700 years in jail right now how they've tried to destroy this man destroy

00:29:12.760 his businesses that if they felt they had an inkling of a chance of convicting president trump

00:29:18.900 of jaywalking or insurrection they would absolutely charge him you know how else i know it's not an

00:29:24.660 insurrection because this is the first insurrection in the history of the world where the people

00:29:30.400 that were a part of it were unarmed it's pretty hard to do if you walk around and see how many

00:29:35.720 individuals are carrying firearms all right last thing i want to say about how i know it's not an

00:29:41.700 insurrection is because i actually listened to the words of the president if you're trying to stoke an

00:29:46.520 insurrection you don't tell the people listening hey i want you to go over there peacefully and

00:29:50.340 patriotically all right this is not an insurrection what it is is a party that's scared to death of this

00:29:58.280 man because he's america first and he's shown time and time again he's willing to bust up the swamp

00:30:03.380 and he continues to beat you like a drum that's what this is really about and for all you journalists

00:30:10.700 out there you know that are pretty cowardly some in this room right now you don't have the you don't 0.98

00:30:17.540 have the balls to write the truth and even if you did your publishers wouldn't publish it because you're 0.99

00:30:22.700 a part of a propaganda outlet probably one of the biggest in the history of the world 0.54

00:30:26.800 if you had any courage i want i want some you to ask some questions about that day january 6 that

00:30:34.100 we keep talking about why is the pipe bomber not been caught yet huh why is the pipe bomber not been

00:30:41.840 caught the one individual that could have committed multiple mass mass casualties has not been caught yet

00:30:47.240 go look at go go follow some of uh bd's reporting over at revolver news he's got some uh evidence for

00:30:55.220 you guys what's going on up here with january 6 is there's a pretty big cover-up actually going on

00:31:00.440 up here in capitol hill about some of the involvement of our government and uh it's quite unsavory and i

00:31:07.520 want to acknowledge uh rep massey's work on this lately and others who have been trying to get to the

00:31:13.220 bottom of it but here's some other here's some other questions for you journalists to ask

00:31:17.980 why did it take so long for ray epps to be charged go go watch videos of ray epps on that day and how

00:31:25.820 he was stoking the entire thing and how long it took him to be charged and yet there were so many

00:31:31.700 people that were brought in brought into the dc jail and they're still there to this day so if you

00:31:39.460 guys want to ask some questions those are some questions but the bottom line is we all know president

00:31:43.800 trump didn't did not commit insurrection and he's probably going to be the president of the united

00:31:49.960 states once again and so i'm happy to be a part of this resolution i'm happy to support the president 0.96

00:31:54.460 and i'm happy to call out all you little cowardly liars in the press thank you 0.81

00:32:00.860 congressman eli crane taking no prisoners there at our press conference as we released our intention 0.97

00:32:09.820 to put our thumb on the scale as the united states congress to declare that donald trump

00:32:13.740 did not commit an insurrection so a quick note about how you consume the program we want you to

00:32:20.480 be able to always know when we're going live so that you get the news immediately and the best way

00:32:25.760 to do that is to receive those notifications now to get those notifications right to you when we go

00:32:30.720 live because as you've seen it's often different times during the day whenever we have a quick moment

00:32:35.440 when there aren't votes committee meetings and other work here on capitol hill you want to download

00:32:40.840 the rumble app download the rumble app and then go to that little bell and turn notifications on if

00:32:47.560 you do that you will be part of our crew that is always notified always first and rumble has recently

00:32:53.000 opened a studio here on capitol hill so uh while we really enjoy doing this from the office we may be

00:32:58.820 able to bring you a product with a few less glitches a little better lighting uh if we're not

00:33:04.560 broadcasting out of the office so we may do a few over there when we have our guests and want to

00:33:08.980 have a more inclusive conversation but thank you for everything you've done to make firebrand a

00:33:13.300 success we always love when you're able to take just a moment particularly if you're listening on
