Transcript

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Hot Takes, this is Congressman Matt Gaetz.
00:00:19.160 If the audio is a little different today, I'm traveling with the president in Phoenix, Arizona,
00:00:23.460 where he'll be examining the progress we're making on the border wall in Yuma, Arizona,
00:00:28.700 and he'll be addressing a number of students at Turning Point USA.
00:00:32.900 On yesterday's episode, we talked about the efforts by some Democrats to begin the impeachment in drag of Bill Barr,
00:00:40.480 and there is more evidence that that is in fact the game plan today.
00:00:44.420 The Daily Beast is running an opinion piece by the rather odious CNN contributor Aja Rangappa,
00:00:50.760 where Aja says that Barr is above the law and that the only answer is to impeach him and that he has obstructed justice.
00:00:59.060 Doesn't this sound familiar? Didn't we see this movie before?
00:01:02.720 I think not only did I see this movie with the Russia hoax, I even saw the knockoff Ukrainian sequel afterwards.
00:01:08.460 The problem is that now, months away from an election, Democrats still have no agenda for America,
00:01:14.100 they have no vision, they have no policy to improve people's lives,
00:01:17.200 and they've already impeached the president, and so now you have to see the drumbeat around Bill Barr.
00:01:22.460 Here's the real news. Bill Barr has had to go into an infested Justice Department and clean up a place that was so captivated by politics that they were unable to fairly enforce the law.
00:01:35.460 And so you will hear in committee tomorrow, people at the Justice Department saying,
00:01:40.380 well, Bill Barr was involved in making decisions on this case.
00:01:43.540 Well, Bill Barr thought there should be a different type of sentencing recommendation in this case.
00:01:48.100 And my reaction to that is, good.
00:01:50.240 That is the job of the Attorney General, to lead the Justice Department.
00:01:53.620 I stand with Attorney General Bill Barr.
00:01:58.540 Does Google hate police?
00:02:01.480 That's a question one can reasonably ask following a petition signed by over 1,600 Google employees to Sundar Pichai, the CEO of the company,
00:02:12.080 asking that Google cease all sales of technology to law enforcement.
00:02:17.400 So this isn't just like high-end Google web services to the New York Police Department.
00:02:23.180 This is like an email to a cop in your local town or a constable in your community.
00:02:30.500 What in the world are they thinking?
00:02:32.060 Police officers are the people who go and stand between the chaos and the vulnerable.
00:02:37.620 They're the ones that are called when we need assistance.
00:02:40.680 And now, purportedly, one of these great American companies, Google, is not willing to stand with some of our American patriots.
00:02:47.480 And I think it does inform on the broader decisions we have to make on technology platforms that, like, are they really trying to make America better?
00:02:56.080 I know they all have these, like, kind of, you know, cheesy slogans about making the world a better place.
00:03:00.940 But when have they stepped up to make America better?
00:03:04.580 And I think that when they contribute to the demonization of our law enforcement, they're certainly not acting in the best interests of our country.
00:03:13.060 So this is an explosive report in Gizmodo by Brian Menges.
00:03:17.720 They're asking for an end to all kind of stuff here in our country with law enforcement.
00:03:23.240 But it's quite hypocritical that these same employees don't seem to have a problem with the unity government that Google seems to have established with China.
00:03:32.800 That's right. Google has no problem going over to the Chinese Communist Party and negotiating terms to allow them to enslave their people.
00:03:42.320 The ethnic minorities like the, you know, 1.5 million Uyghurs and others who are in concentration camps, the absolute technology application to autocracy and the abuses in Hong Kong.
00:03:58.040 I mean, if you don't think that China is going to use tech platforms to try to execute their will in Hong Kong, then you would have to believe that they're going to break the very pattern and practice that they've utilized in other parts of the country where they've seen civil resistance.
00:04:11.640 And so if Google can jump in bed with China, I think that they can at least service American law enforcement.
00:04:19.360 I think that there needs to be some reaction to this from our government.
00:04:23.100 I think that, you know, the attorney general, I think that a number of our state attorneys general need to continue to speak out on behalf of law enforcement and not allow them to be deprived basic services.
00:04:35.160 Like what's next? Is a law enforcement officer not going to be able to get a bank account?
00:04:39.400 Are they not going to be able to get, you know, an Uber?
00:04:44.060 Are they not going to be able to, you know, access other elements of life that have become essential in a digitized world like freaking email?
00:04:54.440 So to stand with law enforcement actually means standing up for law enforcement when they're under attack.
00:05:00.300 And these America last companies like Google certainly need to be held to account.
00:05:05.020 I exposed this bias in Google when Sundar Pichai testified last year before the House Judiciary Committee.
00:05:11.240 Here is just an example as to how oblivious this company is when it comes to the bias in their company and the impact of that bias on users.
00:05:20.120 Have you ever launched an investigation into whether political bias is impacting the consumer experience?
00:05:24.300 Congressman, we do, to the extent there are concerns, we look into them and, you know, it's...
00:05:30.520 Have you expressly launched an investigation into political bias of your employees?
00:05:36.320 On our employees, you said?
00:05:37.800 Yes.
00:05:38.660 You know, to the extent, you know, we always take, we take any allegations around court of conduct across every issue seriously and we look into them.
00:05:45.780 But at your company, your employees can get together and chat in groups, right? Google groups?
00:05:49.960 Yes, they can.
00:05:51.740 And one of those groups is the civil rights group, right?
00:05:54.320 We have many employee resource groups on which they can participate in conversations, yes.
00:05:58.940 Have you ever looked into the conversation into the resist group?
00:06:03.460 Congressman, no.
00:06:05.160 Is it... Does that strike... Is that a surprise to you that there's a resist group?
00:06:09.700 I'm not aware whether such a group exists or not.
00:06:12.460 If there was a resist group, would that be the type of thing that you would want to look into?
00:06:16.320 You know, we have clear policies around how our products are built and...
00:06:22.340 No, but if there's a resist...
00:06:23.600 You know that the resist movement is a movement built to resist the agenda of President Trump.
00:06:27.420 If there's a resist group within your company where groups of employees, not one, are getting together within that group to engage in discourse on company time, with company infrastructure,
00:06:36.740 does that strike you as the type of thing you would want to investigate?
00:06:40.420 Congressman, I'm not aware of any such group.
00:06:42.700 None like that has been brought to my attention and, you know, happy to follow up to, you know, and understand the concern better.
00:06:49.420 If you haven't launched an investigation in any of your employees, because it would take a group of employees to engage in improper conduct,
00:06:56.520 and if those groups of employees are engaging in discussion on your platform,
00:07:00.060 and if one of those platform groups is resist, and if on that resist movement site or any other sites in your platform,
00:07:07.780 there's discussion of suppressing conservative speech,
00:07:10.700 why would that not be something that you would launch an internal investigation in, publish the reports,
00:07:16.360 sanction those employees that may or may not be engaged in improper conduct,
00:07:20.000 so that we can all have greater comfort in the user experience?
00:07:23.520 Congressman, first of all, I want to assure you, we have checks and balances so that employees,
00:07:28.180 and we, not just on this issue, across any issue, we protect the sanctity of our systems,
00:07:33.120 our product development process, and we would do that.
00:07:35.540 How can I have confidence that you're protecting the sanctity of your system
00:07:38.800 when you don't even know that your employees are getting together on your own company's infrastructure
00:07:43.600 to talk about political activity?
00:07:45.920 President Trump has stepped up with strong policy on immigration to respond to the coronavirus
00:07:53.280 and to put American workers first during our great economic comeback.
00:07:58.580 That's right, President Trump signed an executive order yesterday
00:08:01.720 that will suspend the issuance of H-1B, H-2B, and certain L-series visas throughout the end of 2020.
00:08:11.080 This is a real executive order with real teeth.
00:08:14.440 It will result in the preservation of over 525,000 jobs for Americans.
00:08:21.460 Now, there have been a few reasons why the president has undertaken a tough view on immigration
00:08:26.880 during the coronavirus.
00:08:28.220 First, of course, initially, there were the public health concerns limiting flights in from China.
00:08:33.420 That probably saved our country hundreds of thousands of additional deaths
00:08:38.020 had this virus spread out with out the ability to contact trace those initial cases.
00:08:43.800 But then also, there is the economic basis for these immigration restrictions.
00:08:48.940 And in that instance, we've seen time and again that when companies are able to access cheap foreign labor,
00:08:56.520 it does depress wages for Americans.
00:08:59.080 And so it's my hope that this executive order signed by the president
00:09:02.260 will dovetail nicely with the decisions that we've made, for example, in the state of Florida,
00:09:07.460 to have e-verify.
00:09:09.320 I would love to see enforcement of our e-verify system in Florida as employers are continuing to onboard workers.
00:09:17.200 And as I covered in a segment last week, we're seeing the jobs come back at a far faster rate
00:09:22.540 than most economists had anticipated.
00:09:25.380 And now with this strong, excellent decision by the president to restrict immigration in these various categories,
00:09:32.060 it will increase wages.
00:09:34.340 It will increase opportunity for Americans.
00:09:36.040 And I am incredibly proud of the president for taking that action.
00:09:39.560 Who has squealed the loudest?
00:09:41.180 Well, you guessed it.
00:09:42.600 Big tech.
00:09:43.140 And that's because, you know, instead of fulfilling the American promise to hire Americans
00:09:48.180 after they go get STEM education and tech education,
00:09:51.140 you principally see a lot of these technology companies in Silicon Valley
00:09:55.100 bringing in folks under these very programs that the president has suspended.
00:09:59.520 And if you, you know, if you had to pay an American $200,000 a year to come be a coder or a programmer
00:10:05.120 and you could get comparable talent, not better talent, not as good talent,
00:10:10.120 but comparable talent for $60,000 a year under one of these visa programs,
00:10:14.660 well, then you do it as one of these technology companies.
00:10:17.480 And, you know, we have told young Americans to go and acquire these skills.
00:10:22.180 I think our government should not then sell out the interests of these Americans
00:10:26.000 with just never-ending giveaways to big tech and to corporate America.
00:10:31.940 This is an America first executive order, and I fully support the president's action.
00:10:40.120 The Biden crime family continues to be exposed by the great work over at the National Pulse.
00:10:45.720 And Natalie Winters has a piece that does link the dots together regarding Hunter the outsourcer.
00:10:53.260 In 2015, a Chinese company that had Hunter Biden on its board engaged in an outsourcing and acquisition
00:11:01.560 in its purchase of Hennings Automotive.
00:11:05.560 So Hennings Automotive, this big automotive outfit, they still do have a platform in the United States.
00:11:10.920 Their headquarters used to be in Michigan.
00:11:13.220 Now it's in the Czech Republic.
00:11:15.280 And, you know, Hunter Biden was there cashing in on the selling out of the American worker
00:11:20.080 and the American economy at the hands of the elites.
00:11:23.760 And I don't say this to be partisan.
00:11:25.460 I'm not saying it because Biden's running for president.
00:11:27.680 Heck, it is the Biden-Obama-Bush-Clinton policy of China first, of building up the economies
00:11:36.280 of foreign nations at the expense of the American worker that has put us in this position.
00:11:41.720 And so I do think it's critically important context, though, for the election to contrast
00:11:47.020 that, I won't even call it a Democrat worldview, that establishment worldview with the view that
00:11:52.060 President Trump has had.
00:11:53.000 President Trump has been the toughest president on China, certainly in my lifetime.
00:11:58.600 He understands China not only through the lens of economic power, but its military power
00:12:04.580 and its diplomatic efforts to try to normalize an autocratic system that we don't want to
00:12:10.560 see spread across the world.
00:12:12.240 We prefer democracy and inclusion.
00:12:16.080 And China is taking a step in the wrong direction there.
00:12:19.420 And they're doing so at the same time that America's elites are economically benefiting
00:12:25.080 from this transition of the manufacturing base from our country to theirs.
00:12:29.720 Well, President Trump has brought back a tremendous amount of manufacturing jobs.
00:12:33.760 Even when we look at coronavirus, the biggest hits have been in the service sector.
00:12:38.740 And the manufacturing sector is seeing the fastest rebounds because as people are reengaging
00:12:44.960 in the economy, we need stuff.
00:12:47.260 And I'd sure like it to make it here.
00:12:49.540 And I sure hope that we don't embrace the policies that have outsourced those jobs and
00:12:54.280 that have undermined Americans.
00:12:58.400 I hate when the United Nations criticizes the policies that make America the envy of the
00:13:04.840 world.
00:13:05.460 I look at the UN as an entity that is driven largely by the decisions of dictators.
00:13:11.100 I mean, there are more autocrats represented in the UN than there are democracies.
00:13:16.360 And I don't know why we give them any credence.
00:13:19.120 Recently, the UN making news, the UN Commission on Human Rights attacking U.S. Attorney General
00:13:24.820 Bill Barr for designating Antifa a terrorist organization.
00:13:29.200 I've covered Antifa very closely on the podcast.
00:13:32.680 I am most taken by the coverage of Project Veritas, where they actually infiltrated Antifa and
00:13:39.220 got recordings of Antifa leaders talking about the need to gouge people's eyes out when
00:13:46.080 in a in a protest.
00:13:47.700 The whole goal of this, right, is to get out there and do dangerous things as safely as
00:13:50.900 possible.
00:13:52.060 How violent is Antifa or RCA in particular?
00:13:56.360 Practice things like an eye gouge.
00:13:57.820 It takes very little pressure to injure someone's eyes.
00:14:01.500 Don't be that f***ing guy with the f***ing spiked brass knuckles getting photos taken of
00:14:06.640 you.
00:14:06.820 Police are going to be like, perfect, we can prosecute these f***ers.
00:14:09.580 Look how violent they are.
00:14:10.800 Not that we're not, but we need f***ing hype.
00:14:12.740 Their actions across the country have destabilized communities for the sake of political terror.
00:14:20.360 That is the definition of domestic terrorism.
00:14:22.580 And so, frankly, I don't care much for the UN's advice on these questions.
00:14:27.260 And it brings into focus the macro question, why in the hell are we putting money into the
00:14:32.520 UN anyway?
00:14:33.760 And, you know, if the left now has adopted the mantra of defund the police in our communities,
00:14:41.340 in our neighborhoods to keep us safe?
00:14:44.380 Well, why are they so in favor of funding the global police at the UN?
00:14:49.000 If we're going to defund the police, let's start by defunding the global police.
00:14:53.440 Let's start by defunding the UN.
00:14:55.260 Again, you know, if you want to look at just catastrophic abuses of human rights, go look
00:15:03.460 up what some of these UN quote unquote peacekeepers have done when they've been put in various countries
00:15:09.840 in North Africa, in the Middle East, in sub-Saharan Africa.
00:15:13.340 It's awful.
00:15:14.540 The rapes, the murders, the bribery, the corruption.
00:15:18.220 So I don't think that the UN is in any position to throw shade at the American attorney general
00:15:24.240 standing up for Americans and standing up against Antifa.
00:15:31.280 The member of Congress with the least amount of integrity in the entire institution, Adam
00:15:36.800 Schiff, was interviewed by Jake Tapper, and he may have plans for John Bolton.
00:15:41.980 Here's the interview.
00:15:42.540 You've suggested there's a possibility you might call him before your committee.
00:15:45.740 Are you planning to do so?
00:15:46.720 I think there's actually a lot of interest in Congress in hearing what Mr. Bolton has
00:15:50.960 to say, as incredibly belated as it is.
00:15:55.900 And I hope when we come back into session later this week, we'll have an opportunity to make
00:16:00.540 a decision on that.
00:16:01.360 So this should be interesting.
00:16:02.860 You've got John Bolton shooting at the Democrats, saying they committed impeachment malpractice.
00:16:08.220 You've got Democrats like Schiff shooting at Bolton, saying that he's no patron.
00:16:12.180 He's no patriot for running off to a book deal, then running to a witness chair.
00:16:16.700 And again, in the absence of an agenda, the Democrats are in need of theatrics.
00:16:21.740 Go ahead.
00:16:22.340 Bring John Bolton in.
00:16:23.440 I dare you.
00:16:24.200 We'll be ready to cross-examine him.
00:16:25.740 And we'll be ready to show that the president acted appropriately and that John Bolton is
00:16:31.800 a bitter, sad little man.
00:16:33.520 Thanks for listening.
00:16:36.620 This has been Congressman Matt Gaetz.
00:16:38.420 Be sure to leave us a five-star review and a comment or a suggestion or even a criticism.
00:16:43.760 I love your hot takes and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for mine.
00:16:46.360 I love you.
00:16:47.300 I love you.
00:16:58.260 I love you.
00:17:02.620 I love you.
00:17:03.700 I love you.
00:17:07.120 I love you.
00:17:08.760 I love you.
