00:00:34.300 exciting here's the president i'm thrilled to be in arizona with thousands of patriotic young americans

00:00:40.480 who stand up tall for america and refuse to kneel to the radical left

00:00:46.020 you know what's going on because you're on the front lines of a tremendous intellectual struggle

00:00:55.380 for the future of our country but the radical left they hate our history they hate our values

00:01:03.100 and they hate everything we prize as americans and we're right and a man who's very understated

00:01:09.300 he just gets it done behind the scenes never likes to go on television

00:01:13.780 never likes talking a lot but he's a great congressman

00:01:18.360 from one of my favorite states florida matt gates

00:01:22.180 he keeps it low-key and simple right no actually he keeps it up and not simple

00:01:38.000 but he's great and he does a fantastic job thank you man

00:01:41.300 donald trump jr also got the crowd fired up here's a little of what he had to say

00:01:45.700 fight for your country this is the first time this is a election that is freedom versus

00:01:50.900 socialism freedom versus communism you see all these people they're espousing the virtues

00:01:55.260 of marxism socialism and i get it i get it i'm the son of a rich guy from new york city

00:02:00.080 but my mother escaped communism my mother escaped communist czechslovakia came here legally

00:02:06.900 hard to believe that's a complicated distinction

00:02:12.380 but the one thing that i learned from her was that my grandfather was a blue-collar electrician

00:02:19.400 from what was then communist czechslovakia and he brought me over there every summer starting at

00:02:23.000 the age of five i've waited in those bread lines i was pulled out of line one time because i was

00:02:27.520 wearing like an american kind of jean jacket it was 80 so i thought it was pretty badass i was about six

00:02:31.500 you know stars and stripes on it they pulled me out of that line a guy in a drab communist era thing

00:02:39.200 with an ak slung over his shoulder asking me if i was there to spread propaganda i was six i didn't

00:02:44.400 know what propaganda was so i understand that system i had the good blessing to witness it firsthand

00:02:52.000 and there's a reason the boats only go one way folks you notice that all those celebrities

00:02:57.480 says oh when trump's gonna like them i'm going to canada why are they still here

00:03:01.260 i also addressed the crowd in phoenix here's a part of my speech president coolidge also said that

00:03:08.260 as americans we are the peers of kings and i don't think it's a bad thing if we start acting like it

00:03:15.280 some might call that male privilege or white privilege you know what those terms are just

00:03:22.420 racist terms to try to tell people to beat to shut up and we're done being quiet

00:03:27.260 i reject i reject the notion of white privilege or black privilege or any other type of privilege

00:03:39.400 we are all unified in one american privilege that we should be proud of and fight for with everything

00:03:47.340 we have

00:03:48.180 america is not just an idea or a constitution america is our home

00:03:57.080 and we must protect and defend our home for if she falls there is no alternative there is no

00:04:05.140 place to go and so let us fight with all we have for our president for our country thank you for being

00:04:12.680 the inspiration of our movement thank you for fighting let's go get them and i do believe that

00:04:19.060 the concept the notion of white privilege is a myth in america it's think about what people are saying

00:04:27.700 when they evoke white privilege what they're saying is because of your race because of the color of your

00:04:33.400 skin you have a different and diminished contribution to make to our country to our national discussion that

00:04:41.980 you can't perceive or discuss or legislate around idea sets if you're white and i don't care if it's not 0.99

00:04:52.040 politically correct to say this but that's bs it's a bunch of garbage you know i believe that all americans 0.98

00:04:58.740 have a special place in our country i believe in americanism so strongly that i don't believe it should be 0.83

00:05:06.140 diluted i don't believe it should be diminished i don't believe america's history or statues or monuments

00:05:12.840 are in any way to blame for the grievances that people may have today and it is quite something that

00:05:22.020 we've allowed our country to devolve into name calling over race and it seems to be okay when you say 1.00

00:05:29.460 or direct those types of diminishing comments to white people and i just don't think that any people

00:05:36.840 regardless of the color of their skin should be treated differently in america we should all strive

00:05:41.760 to love one another to work together and when i see these images in these videos of people of color you

00:05:49.240 know showing up and yelling at police who happen to be white with these racist tirades it just breaks

00:05:58.320 my heart so let's hope that we can come together as americans we can unify around a special american

00:06:05.280 privilege and that we don't take that privilege for granted and by the way it is a privilege to be an

00:06:11.040 american i've traveled all around the world i've seen how people live in the united states of america

00:06:16.740 we treat all people i think in a way that should be cherished and celebrated and of course we could

00:06:24.180 strive to be a more perfect union but blaming people for your grievances as a consequence of

00:06:30.480 their race does not make us more perfect it makes us more tribal and we can do better and we will be

00:06:36.800 better and i suspect that we can get through this national moment and hopefully come out even stronger

00:06:42.200 former acting director of national intelligence rick grinnell is an american patriot after months and months

00:06:52.120 of republicans in congress requesting the release of transcripts and the declassification of

00:06:58.800 information regarding the corrupt origins of the russia probe we finally got the truth and the right 0.87

00:07:04.840 information and the evidence that this was all a hoax out before the people because rick grinnell did

00:07:11.980 what his predecessor dan coates refused to do and he declassified the information that exposed the deep

00:07:19.180 state and i think the most telling declassification during the grinnell era is that the steel dossier

00:07:26.080 which made up the bulk of the evidence for the fisa court was a target of russian intelligence

00:07:35.320 that's right they were they were literally trying to pollute our elections in this way i had some fun

00:07:40.620 with some q a with rick grinnell in arizona here's some of our exchange rick one thing that you and i have

00:07:45.760 in common is that we can occasionally be a little based on social media we can occasionally share our

00:07:52.480 perspective and our views with a little bit of edge and i just love it when all the like clinton people

00:07:58.960 and obama people and even some of the bush people would just clutch their pearls and say oh how could

00:08:04.740 rick grinnell get on twitter and and share what he actually thinks how could he put pressure on other

00:08:10.000 countries through social media and so the question is this as these patriotic brave young americans

00:08:16.500 seize their rightful destiny in leadership in this country is this the new normal are we now in a space

00:08:22.940 where we can leave no lie unresponded to no claim un uh confronted and do you believe that getting on

00:08:30.960 social media and sharing our views is precisely the way we keep the fire burning in this great movement

00:08:35.900 i i absolutely agree and don't don't ever forget that freedom of the press is really

00:08:41.340 the spirit of that is about getting information to the public back in the day when we didn't have

00:08:49.640 social media you had to go through the media you had to sit down and tell your story and they would

00:08:56.260 go back to their newsroom and they would decide what they wanted to say they had the filter

00:09:02.800 and just like many industries the banking industry uh a whole bunch of industries have been transformed

00:09:12.080 through technology so has journalism the information needs to go to the people the information is not

00:09:19.540 to be just shared with the media and filtered by the media the media need to remember that the

00:09:27.180 information is about the people it's for the people and when you have social media and you have a

00:09:33.920 president who gets on and speaks directly to the american people without the filter that should be celebrated

00:09:43.120 amen

00:09:44.000 the nascar news hoax has been all over the news

00:09:51.240 bubba wallace nascar's only african-american driver purportedly announces the other day that

00:09:57.560 there is a noose that is hanging in his car's garage and the fbi deploys 15 agents to go and analyze

00:10:07.820 what turns out to be a garage pull a rope that was installed quite some time ago that had a slipknot in it

00:10:17.640 not to make a political statement about a noose but to allow for the pulling of the garage door

00:10:24.280 it is just something that in society like we tend to

00:10:28.520 always gravitate to the most sensational to the most absurd to the most charged interpretation

00:10:35.720 of almost freaking anything and i mean you you've seen how the media

00:10:40.780 and the the kind of woke culture really tried to use this moment of a garage door pull to try to

00:10:49.820 make our country appear far more racist than it is i don't believe america is a racist country

00:10:57.060 i believe that obviously we can improve on issues of race just like we can improve on a variety of

00:11:02.840 other issues but i don't think most americans are racist and you'll notice that when this story first

00:11:09.040 hit the news i didn't talk about it on the podcast i thought it was a little premature

00:11:12.940 i thought that there was a possibility of a false flag and so hey you know don't jump in too quick

00:11:20.180 let the evidence unfold and now we're able to talk about it now my perspective on gathering the evidence

00:11:26.740 was not one that was particularly shared by the media uh you had even uh jamel hill who used to work

00:11:33.180 for espn now is a contributor with the atlantic she had this to say this reminder this very stunning

00:11:39.860 shocking appalling disgusting reminder of who again this sport is for um i'm very curious as to

00:11:47.880 see how nascar handles this because based off what everything i've read is that this had to be an

00:11:53.860 inside job because this garage was only open to essential personnel so somebody associated with

00:12:00.300 nascar likely may have been the culprit boy must feel pretty silly right now to be characterizing

00:12:06.480 a garage pull door in precisely that way and it wasn't just members of the media you had 0.51

00:12:11.500 bubba wallace's girlfriend out there saying stuff like oh well this is the the time where white people

00:12:18.540 need to examine their prejudices no no this wasn't an indication of white people needing to examine

00:12:24.520 their prejudices it was an indication of a nascar driver needing to examine a garage door pull and

00:12:32.060 you know i think we also need to need to ask why like 15 fbi agents get sent to investigate this hoax of

00:12:42.360 a claim while at the same time the fbi is doing nothing to stop our monuments from being destroyed

00:12:49.480 our history from being desecrated our buildings from being spray painted and defaced with not only racist

00:12:58.520 terms but like pretty violent terms i mean there are calls for violence that are being literally spray painted

00:13:05.620 on our nation's references to history and the fbi doesn't do anything about that but 15 people have to go

00:13:13.540 and determine whether or not something is a rope pull or a noose when no one has been harmed and you

00:13:20.080 know what probably a fewer number of fbi agents could have been utilized for that christopher ray's

00:13:26.240 response to what is going on in our country as the fbi director has been inadequate christopher ray

00:13:33.440 needs to do more if you had right-wing extremists whatever that means out like seizing portions of cities

00:13:42.780 blocking off access to emergency vehicles challenging confronting throwing things at

00:13:50.800 assaulting law enforcement you would have the fbi mobilized in a way you have never seen in this

00:13:58.800 country but because it's the woke left that is bringing terror to our streets there's just a a broader

00:14:05.700 acceptance and a broader tolerance for that and there shouldn't be the fbi needs to get off its duff

00:14:12.280 they need to put down riots that threaten people's safety and they need to preserve america's history

00:14:19.360 this is a country worth fighting for worth loving we should be cherishing our history because while it

00:14:26.020 certainly has flaws while we're better today than we were then it is america's history and the installation

00:14:33.360 of our values that have created the greatest country that has ever existed and i'm not apologizing for her

00:14:40.580 i want to defend her and i sure think we need an fbi willing to defend her as well

00:14:45.980 will america get its 51st state that's the question that's posed in a vox article by ian

00:14:55.900 millheiser entitled dc is closer to becoming a state than it ever has been there'll be a vote in congress

00:15:02.160 this week on dc statehood i will vote against that bill but i have an interesting perspective on the

00:15:08.000 subject i do think that the current situation in washington dc is untenable our country is founded

00:15:14.600 on the principle that there should be no taxation without representation and dc functionally has no

00:15:21.320 voting representation in the congress they have no senators and yet they're taxed but i don't think

00:15:27.660 the answer is to go create a new state i think the answer is to remove federal income taxes from the

00:15:33.120 residents of washington dc that would seem to be more consistent with what's happening with our

00:15:39.260 other territories so if you live in the u.s virgin islands if you live in our other territories there

00:15:44.440 is not federal income taxes that is uniquely a feature of washington dc because if we made dc a state

00:15:51.500 would that mean we'd have to make the virgin islands a state would we make puerto rico a state i don't

00:15:55.600 think they want to be a state in some of those places and so the best way to standardize things to

00:16:00.880 bring things into line where folks aren't being treated unfairly or differently than in other

00:16:05.840 territories we should abolish federal taxation for the residents of washington dc but no statehood

00:16:13.880 that would be a bridge too far and that would also i think disrupt kind of the the organization of how

00:16:21.640 we treat our our territories more broadly because it wouldn't be a standard that they want to apply

00:16:26.480 to others so let's treat all our territories to the same no statehood no taxation that seems fair

00:16:32.800 and more consistent with america's founding principles

00:16:35.440 we're getting the band back together the impeachment band that appears to be what's going on in the house

00:16:44.380 democratic caucus and in the judiciary committee today in the last episode i discussed the revived

00:16:49.860 efforts to try to reorganize politics around the concept of political impeachment that impeachment

00:16:56.900 obviously won't happen of the president they've tried that they've done that it was a disaster for

00:17:01.860 democrats now they're attempting to do it with bill barr here's the opening statement from my friend and

00:17:07.060 colleague jim jordan laying out the renewed hope politics was in the previous administration bill

00:17:12.260 bar is doing the lord's work trying to clean it up so that it doesn't happen again and we have said this

00:17:18.100 before and i'll say it in closing imid flood's statement a little over a year ago where he said

00:17:24.900 this we would all do well to remember if they can do it to a president they can lie to a fisa court to

00:17:32.180 get a warrant to go after a president to go after a major party's political campaign if they can do it to

00:17:36.580 a president imagine what they can do to you or i imagine what they can do to the folks we get the privilege

00:17:42.580 of representing back home that's why this is important that's why the work bill barr is doing is important

00:17:47.780 you guys can continue to play your political games bill barr is going to get to the truth i yield back

00:17:55.060 theodore roosevelt is one of my father's favorite heroes in politics i don't know if it was the

00:18:01.860 naturalism or the populism or the toughness i think it's a little bit the ability to bring those in your

00:18:09.380 own party in line with what the people of the country need but theodore roosevelt was

00:18:17.060 yanked down his statue was defaced destroyed in new york state and the governor rather than standing

00:18:24.980 up for his fellow new york governor theodore roosevelt said it was a healthy expression

00:18:32.420 to tear down this man who had done so much for our country this is mind-boggling to me and and clearly

00:18:39.860 mind-boggling as well to our friend tucker carlson he had exquisite commentary on this last night

00:18:46.100 here's tucker in the state of new york the governor tells us we haven't overdone it destroying public

00:18:51.380 property is quote a healthy expression of people saying let's get some priorities here okay so that's

00:18:58.180 the standard set forth by a democratic party leader let's think it through for a minute andrew cuomo lives in

00:19:04.820 the governor's mansion in albany teddy roosevelt once lived there too so did governors grover cleveland

00:19:10.820 and franklin roosevelt by current standards both cleveland and fdr were racists cleveland extended

00:19:18.020 the chinese exclusion act fdr of course interned japanese americans by the tens of thousands during

00:19:23.140 world war ii therefore like the statues now lying smashed on the ground in parks across the country

00:19:30.100 the governor's mansion in albany new york is suffused with the spirit of white supremacy

00:19:35.780 its very existence as an object is an act of violence against marginalized people it cannot stand

00:19:42.580 should the mob burn it down would torching the racist governor's mansion amount to a quote 0.85

00:19:48.180 healthy expression of people saying let's get some priorities here what do you think are you crazy of

00:19:53.620 course not cancel culture continues to advance seemingly unconfronted by many of us who need to do more

00:20:05.460 to ensure that there is free speech online and let me just go over the last few examples of

00:20:12.420 twitter really demeaning the contributions that people are making to our national discussion first

00:20:18.580 they again label the tweet of the president of the united states when the president essentially says we

00:20:24.740 are not going to have some autonomous zone in our nation's capital we will stop you know the antifa

00:20:32.580 movement from being able to do that so the president sends that out and twitter labels it much like they

00:20:39.220 labeled my tweet about antifa but they weren't done there many people know the great meme artist carpe

00:20:46.260 donctum a carpe donctum is someone i don't even know his real name i've met him in the state of florida

00:20:53.060 at an american priorities event but he's a guy who is just hyper creative at using images and videos of

00:21:01.380 the president with some animation and music to really have kind of light-hearted funny moments

00:21:07.700 about politics not too serious but certainly very engaging a carpe donctum drives a lot of eyeballs

00:21:15.700 on twitter and he's an effective conservative and effective supporter of the president

00:21:20.980 and twitter because of a toddler video that was quite literally shared by the president of the united states

00:21:27.540 has permanently locked carpe donctum out of his account suspended this cannot stand like we cannot

00:21:35.300 allow the lack of transparency the lack of an appeal the lack of a of a predictable review process

00:21:44.660 to bar people from sharing their views in america and when when twitter acts like this they just make

00:21:51.620 the case stronger that they should be treated like a common carrier and regulated like a common carrier

00:21:57.220 but they weren't done with the president and carpe donctum many on the podcast are familiar with the

00:22:02.500 national pulse they're doing some of the most uh explosive reporting on the chinese communist party

00:22:09.780 and on big tech censorship rahim kasam is the editor of the national pulse and when he was reporting on

00:22:18.260 some of the murders that were going on in london and rahim zabrit he was removed from twitter

00:22:25.940 presumably temporarily i don't really know but he was locked out of twitter as a consequence of sharing

00:22:33.220 videos of people's death and violence well that standard didn't seem to apply with george floyd's death

00:22:39.540 with any other number of videos that i've seen on twitter like when did we become so fragile as a society

00:22:45.860 when did we become so weak that people literally sharing what has happened when they are news

00:22:52.580 reporters as rahim unequivocally is like that we can't take it anymore i don't think that silicon valley

00:23:00.660 should set the mores of america i don't think they should decide what we should be able to see and not

00:23:06.340 see what we could handle or not handle there is big news coming i can't share it today but there is

00:23:12.580 big news coming about the white house's response to the labeling of the president to these extensive

00:23:20.180 cancellations and shadow bans and just outright bans that we're seeing on social media and i suspect i

00:23:26.900 will be very involved in this in the coming days and weeks and we need to get on the stick we need to

00:23:32.580 right now ensure that in the coming weeks and months as people start to tune into politics more and

00:23:39.460 elections more that we have a way to clash ideas to show our discourse to express our views that is

00:23:49.540 not subject to this type of governing and moderning by people with with no real interest in being

00:23:57.460 transparent about the methodology that goes into their decisions to deprive people of access to the

00:24:03.700 platform it's fundamentally un-american the fight is coming to twitter and a number of other these

00:24:09.700 digital platforms you just wait and see thanks for listening this has been congressman matt gates

00:24:16.180 be sure to leave us a five-star review and a comment or suggestion or even a criticism i love your hot

00:24:22.100 takes and i hope you'll be back tomorrow for mine
