00:00:28.060
that we got to cover it that's the news let's talk about it here's sean hannity and the president
00:00:33.160
and some of their best exchanges first of all we have arrested i think almost but it could be over
00:00:38.480
the number hundreds of people we have arrested a lot of people for what they've done they've created
00:00:43.440
bedlam they've destroyed very important things i mean you're also talking about statues of
00:00:49.140
george washington abraham lincoln uh they'd like to get jesus you know that right they said uh we want
00:00:55.520
to get jesus yeah sean king the radical these are nothing to do with any particular event other
00:01:00.540
than their troublemakers or agitators and they're anarchists you see in chicago last weekend 102
00:01:06.360
of our fellow citizens were shot 12 were children and 14 died the carnage existed all throughout these
00:01:14.480
years that joe biden was vice president barack was president um i don't know any reforms that they put
00:01:21.000
in place after ferguson or after baltimore or many other incidents they did virtually nothing and
00:01:26.300
i call him corrupt joe he's corrupt and you look at that administration they have had more and when
0.64
00:01:31.400
you see what's happening because you saw the notes now from the oval office meeting and all of the
0.98
00:01:36.260
things we're going to get to that what's happening is a disgrace this is a corrupt situation he is a
00:01:41.060
candidate that will destroy this country and he may not do it himself he will be run by a radical
0.71
00:01:48.120
fringe group of lunatics that will destroy our country and people have to know that i think
00:01:54.100
we're seeing uh the president with a new sharpness to his focus and to his message and i got to tell
0.86
00:02:02.520
you it's something i really noticed the last time i was with the president i've i've had two recent rides
00:02:08.120
on air force one with the president and the way that usually works is that you really get the sense
00:02:12.940
of how he's feeling because there is no pretense with donald trump there is no show there is no act
00:02:19.560
you get pretty much the same guy in public that you get in private and it's one of the things i love
00:02:25.180
most about him how authentic he is and uh just how how willing to share his thoughts he is so you know i
00:02:32.280
remember traveling with him you know several weeks ago down to florida to the spacex launch
00:02:37.360
and there was just a a different approach a different i think uh ability to kind of hone in
00:02:46.060
on where our country is right now in this moment that we see during the town hall that i also saw in
00:02:53.780
uh in our in our phoenix trip uh when the president was in phoenix i thought he really started to
00:03:00.420
get great clarity of message these riots these protests they are not about police brutality i don't
00:03:09.260
even think they're about race i think they're about a like neo-marxist desire to go and overthrow
00:03:16.580
our existing regime of government and i think that these are people who have a fundamental grievance
00:03:23.120
with the way our country operates and they want to replace america and so i think this is our
00:03:31.200
politics today are about whether or not america should just be abolished and essentially restarted
00:03:37.680
which is what you see on the streets with the beginning of the abolition of our history with the
00:03:43.260
desire to attack our police with members of congress raising money for organizations that want to
00:03:48.780
eliminate borders and eliminate prisons i mean you name it the president has also demonstrated a real
00:03:55.640
understanding for what we're facing and what what we're up against in some of his recent tweets
00:04:01.380
uh he said on twitter black lives matter leader states if the u.s doesn't give us what we want
00:04:09.140
then we will burn this system down and replace it and the president replied this is treason
00:04:17.580
sedition insurrection president trump is absolutely right those who are trying to burn down america
00:04:26.180
should face up against patriotic americans who are willing to defend equal justice under the law
00:04:33.660
equal treatment under the law the things that have made america the envy of the world we are not a
00:04:40.120
racist nation we are not a cruel nation if we were so many people wouldn't be trying to break in
00:04:45.300
america is something to be proud of and to be defended and i am so proud to see president trump
00:04:52.620
stepping up to provide that defense and to rally our movement
00:04:56.360
asylum seekers beware you will not necessarily be able to hang out in the united states skip your court day
0.99
00:05:06.520
and be in our country illegally with no consequence the trump administration scores a huge win in the
00:05:13.380
supreme court a seven two decision the majority opinion very well written by justice alito and he
00:05:20.160
essentially holds that the trump administration has the ability to remove people from the united
00:05:25.600
states who have no legal right to be here who have been granted no right by no judge or no tribunal
00:05:33.360
they have merely shown up to our country illegally they have been apprehended for being here illegally and
00:05:41.100
by the way unlawful entry into the country is a crime i know folks on the left just like to say
00:05:46.100
oh well these folks are undocumented but the reality is if you break the law getting here you are not
00:05:51.600
undocumented you are a documented criminal because there is a criminal statute that says that unlawful
00:05:57.440
entry is illegal but back to these folks claiming asylum it used to be the case that they would just show
0.62
00:06:04.080
up say the right words to qualify for asylum just that they're scared that they have credible fear
00:06:09.300
and then they would be given a court date that you know nine out of every ten were not showing up for
00:06:16.760
and so then those folks would just be in america you know some of them would have kids that would then
00:06:23.320
be uh working to claim their parents under um under some sort of visa policy and so it was a scam
00:06:30.520
to claim asylum and it was a joke for a country that was not serious about securing the border
00:06:36.440
until the trump administration the trump administration takes the position that folks
00:06:41.400
should not just get the right to await their asylum claim here that if they have a real asylum claim
00:06:46.120
you know they they may have to wait for that claim elsewhere until it is granted and we invite them
00:06:51.500
with by the way the most generous asylum rules really in the history of the world when you look at
00:06:57.500
the united states over time so now we've got a situation where these removals can occur
00:07:01.720
these folks will not be able to abuse the system and i am grateful that the trump administration got
00:07:09.060
this win we we are seeing illegal immigration from the northern triangle decrease not because things
00:07:15.060
are getting a whole heck of a lot better in the northern triangle guatemala salvador el salvador
00:07:19.660
honduras instead because we've changed our policies we are not doing catch and release we have built
00:07:25.720
200 miles of wall and we are reforming our asylum system so that we are not taken advantage of that
0.98
00:07:31.680
is america first immigration policy and i'm glad the trump administration got this monumental victory
00:07:37.680
oh poor joe biden they've let him out of the basement and listen to what he had to say
00:07:45.420
necessarily now we have over 120 million dead from covid i think the president and sean hannity
00:07:51.180
had a little bit of fun with it in their exchange leading up to their town hall here's sean in the
00:07:55.500
president you know joe left his bunker for five minutes and well he had another gaffe said a hundred
00:08:01.360
and twenty million people now have died and from coronavirus i don't know whether to laugh or cry
00:08:07.660
did he say that yes he did so that's a third of our population that's that would be they'll be off by
00:08:12.980
quite a lot i mean he said that yes sir it's too bad i don't make things up i'm not i'm not fake news
00:08:22.140
i do real news it's too bad it's too bad but you know i want to be a nice guy i think i am a nice
00:08:31.060
guy i'm proud of being i love people yeah but my most important job is to run this country great i built
00:08:36.780
it once so great turn it off now we're doing it again and it's happening so it's going to be better
00:08:41.940
than ever but here's the thing i've got to do that folk you know i i this is serious business we can't
00:08:48.520
have somebody that's a mistake that's not a mistake that's a serious error when he says he's running for
00:08:54.240
the u.s senate that's a serious error when he says i'm going to beat joe biden which got very little
00:08:59.860
coverage that's not like an error gee it's a slip up that's a serious error so when you just told me
00:09:06.300
that i hadn't heard that that just happened i guess yes it did this is not good for joe biden because
00:09:10.980
it is the repeating signal that he has a problem keeping it together and i i obviously don't wish
00:09:19.280
that on anyone obviously people's health is more important than politics but this is someone who
00:09:25.300
who obviously is struggling to just kind of stay with it in terms of where he is who he's talking to
00:09:32.820
what he's saying and some basic facts that's not somebody that uh uh that we need as president
00:09:39.220
it's just pretty pretty basic and simple as that
00:09:41.880
what is life like in the woketopia that's what they're looking to find out in the minnesota town
00:09:51.900
of powderhorn park where initially they vowed not to call the police that was that was their
00:09:57.760
virtue signal to hoist the flag of the woketopia that they would not call the police and soon
00:10:04.580
they found over 300 homeless had moved in and they were dealing with a pretty intense volume of drug
00:10:12.100
dealers who would come to the area for their tradecraft and here's a here's a comment from
00:10:17.980
carrie night and shade age 44 i'm not being judgmental explaining that she no longer allows her
00:10:24.740
children ages 12 and 9 to play in the park by themselves it's not personal it's just not safe
00:10:31.180
another resident michael erickson said he regretted calling 9-1-1 when two black teenagers cornered him
00:10:38.000
a block away from his home held a gun to his chest and demanded his car keys he said he mistakenly handed
00:10:44.100
over his house keys and the frustrated teams left him only to steal another car a few blocks away
00:10:50.220
wow he regrets calling the police when two people pulled a gun on him and took his house keys and
00:10:58.760
then when they weren't the car keys they went and did it to someone else so this is this is what the
00:11:04.260
you know the kind of political movement that brands itself as black lives matter and defund the
0.58
00:11:10.800
police really intends to bring to your neighborhood you can't let your kids play outside you have to deal
00:11:16.920
with the homeless and the drug addicts and the drug dealers and if you get the gun pulled on you
00:11:22.800
you either can't call the police because they aren't there or you're going to regret it because it's
0.88
00:11:27.880
really your fault if you get hung up in these types of circumstances it it's just absolutely ridiculous
00:11:34.160
that anyone would think that they owe it to someone else to live like this based on like sins of
00:11:40.300
ancestors from hundreds of years ago the the piece that we cite is danielle wallace on fox news she's
00:11:47.600
linked to reporting from other places about powder horn park the new extension of the territory of the
00:11:54.840
woketopia i'm here in washington for votes this week and i got to see my good friend one of my best
00:12:04.260
friends in congress thomas massey and i got to congratulate him in person for his big win in his
00:12:11.280
primary election and thomas was someone that members of our leadership had targeted liz cheney the
0.99
00:12:16.980
third ranking republican in the congress had endorsed and financially supported the challenger to thomas and
00:12:24.220
i think that's largely because thomas is not a forever wars guy and i think it's also because procedurally
00:12:30.960
he does not always fall in line with the team if he thinks that people should have to show up and vote
00:12:36.460
then he makes the call to do that and i'm impressed with thomas i think that institutions like the
00:12:43.440
congress need people like thomas massey around so even though the president whacked him on twitter
00:12:48.640
even though some of our republican colleagues whacked him on twitter i am always sassy with massey i
00:12:56.740
endorse thomas i made the maximum donation to him that i could through our campaign and i'm just
00:13:03.060
grateful to see him win not just like by a little i think he got like i don't know 88 of the vote or
00:13:08.920
something like that i don't know that oxygen is as popular as 88 but i'm grateful that his voters
00:13:16.140
had the confidence to send him back and i look forward to working with thomas for an additional two
00:13:20.900
years in congress on this podcast i have carefully chronicled the tyranny of big tech and the impact
00:13:30.760
on our ability to have fair debate and discussion in this country about critical issues if you ever
00:13:36.460
wonder who's on the other side particularly in the republican party i guess look no further than
00:13:43.240
former ambassador nikki haley nikki haley tweeting censorship by tech companies especially censorship of
00:13:50.380
conservative opinions violates the spirit of the law and the first amendment but more regulation
00:13:56.080
would go too far in the other direction putting bureaucrats and lawyers in control of what gets
0.75
00:14:01.600
said online either way free speech loses what does that mean so like i mean yes nikki it is absolutely
0.94
00:14:10.120
right that if we engage in requirements for transparency there will likely be lawyers involved to vindicate
00:14:18.460
our rights and that would sound pretty good for a lot of the people that have been just like straight
0.99
00:14:22.980
up disappeared by twitter lately i talked about some of those people in the last episode they would
00:14:28.480
love the chance to have a lawyer be able to go in and ask why they are unable to participate in the
00:14:37.180
discussion that hundreds of millions of people participate in they just had their rights taken away from them
00:14:42.480
and largely because they're a conservative but i guess if if you have the sort of like you know
00:14:48.020
conservative inc world view of nikki haley you don't really have much to worry about from big tech
00:14:52.900
i mean they're they're not going to shadow ban nikki haley you know who they shadow ban jim jordan
00:14:57.700
martin meadows devin nunez and matt gates and so i guess the question for ambassador haley is
00:15:03.780
so then what are we supposed to do i mean i don't love the idea of lawyers and bureaucrats being involved
00:15:09.820
but it sure beats just having a bunch of people who hate us in silicon valley determining that because
00:15:15.740
they were surprised by donald trump's victory in the 2016 election that they're just going to rob
00:15:20.940
the 2020 election from the voters so i mean the the way nikki haley ends the tweet is particularly
00:15:27.440
strange she says either way free speech loses so what we're supposed to just take the l like i thought
00:15:34.460
this was a movement for winners i you know i thought we were supposed to win so much we were tired of
00:15:38.640
winning but now we just have to accept like the grim and despondent dystopian fate that free speech
00:15:44.840
loses screw that i think free speech should win i think that one of the reasons we have a congress
00:15:50.800
is to step forward and vindicate these rights so it would sure help if one of my party's leading voices
00:15:57.760
someone who is out building a national desire to achieve higher office if they would actually
00:16:05.920
back the efforts that people like josh hawley and myself have introduced to try to reform section 230
00:16:14.960
the community communication decency act or define some of these tech companies as common carriers
00:16:20.800
at least to the point that we're able to get some transparency into their algorithms
00:16:24.960
but no we can't win like that we can't fight for those changes we can't demand that accountability from
00:16:31.680
big tech instead we just have to accept this grim proposition that either way free speech loses
00:16:37.360
i don't believe in fighting for the loss i believe in fighting for the win
00:16:41.180
congratulations to my fellow florida man governor ron de santis for signing legislation that was one of
00:16:49.820
his top priorities as the governor of florida and i think it informs on some important national
00:16:55.260
priorities regarding education and the importance of high teacher pay so there's a lot of evidence
00:17:01.980
seemingly suggesting that the number one factor when determining the success of a student is not the
00:17:10.620
size of the class it is not the physical plant it is not even access to technology the number one factor
00:17:18.940
and whether or not that kid's going to do well is the quality of the teacher so the state of florida
00:17:24.380
had established a regime previously that was a recruitment tool to attract teachers that were
00:17:30.700
getting some of the highest standardized test scores now i understand there are people who don't always
00:17:35.660
do well in standardized tests but they do well in other areas but a lot of evidence and we'll find the
00:17:40.380
studies and put them up on the at gates takes twitter feed but this evidence is suggesting that if you've
00:17:47.900
got teachers who are very high iq that are excelling on standardized tests that they are going to be
00:17:55.340
able to teach to a broader spectrum of those students in a highly effective way so we put cash into the
00:18:00.780
deal recruited better teachers and now we're willing we're looking at building out the overall compensation
00:18:07.660
package to get high-end education talent in florida so the governor signed today uh a an increase in pay
00:18:16.060
for teachers that is the largest florida education compensation increase in the state's history it
00:18:22.940
will mean that starting teachers in the state of florida will make about forty seven thousand five
00:18:28.300
hundred dollars um you know that uh is about a hundred million dollars in pay boosting just for that
00:18:35.580
first step uh there's also additional pay increases for veteran teachers so that you won't have salary
00:18:42.460
compression in the system and the governor got rare praise from the florida education association
00:18:49.100
i don't know that they've ever praised a republican governor before but they're praising governor
00:18:53.660
desantis and we're proud of him for standing behind florida's teachers recruiting some of the best talent
00:18:59.900
that will lead to better education outcomes and it will continue to make florida a state i'm
00:19:04.940
certainly very proud to be from thanks for listening to hot takes i'm congressman matt gates
00:19:10.940
leave us a five-star rating and how about use that review box tell me something you want to hear
00:19:15.180
about an issue an item you'd like me to discuss always love hearing from our constituents and we hope
