The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz

00:00:00.000 you ever watch this guy on television you all were not telling the truth and you should not

00:00:06.100 be trusted congressman matt gates thank you for what you did for your country today be offended

00:00:09.760 with the democratic whip not house republicans like a machine matt gates

00:00:13.960 welcome to hot takes this is congressman matt gates let's talk about the news big news in the

00:00:22.120 justice department southern district of new york has arrested jelaine maxwell this is the girlfriend

00:00:29.240 the fellow groomer of jeffrey epstein that was involved in a lot of this activity with underage

00:00:36.520 girls where a lot of people are still seeking justice so she has been arrested she is in custody

00:00:42.820 and awaiting what i perceive will be a likely a superseding indictment with the evidence that

00:00:49.680 will be acquired by the justice department here's my hot take this was not about sex with jeffrey

00:00:56.980 epstein and jelaine maxwell this was about power and this was about leverage if you look at what

00:01:03.500 was going on in this particular period of time the united states was gearing up for the iraq war

00:01:09.220 and if you look at the type of people that epstein was getting into compromising positions

00:01:14.300 it will you saw leaders in politics leaders in academia leaders in business that were on his

00:01:23.060 flights that were in his orbit that were in his friend group and it's my belief that the reason

00:01:30.340 this compromising material was being acquired the reason that these men were being introduced to these

00:01:36.380 young girls the reason a lot of it was i think recorded when you look at just the volume of tapes

00:01:42.300 that were there like i don't think those tapes are just going to be epstein and maxwell with these girls

00:01:47.120 i think that the tapes largely exist so that they could have leverage on people and at a time of

00:01:53.620 war and international conflict they're just a lot of different international entities that have an

00:01:59.900 incentive to ensure that the united states is acting consistent with with their views so if you look

00:02:06.020 at maxwell her background her family background there's connection with intelligence services there there

00:02:12.940 is uh i think likely to be a nexus not just with domestic activity but with international activity and

00:02:20.560 international players we'll see let's keep her alive and let's bring the perpetrators to justice

00:02:26.500 washington dc mayor mariel bowser established a several block area in northwest washington as black lives

00:02:38.580 matter plaza and listen to her describe the purpose of that designation we commissioned um was the black

00:02:45.660 lives matter mural uh and it's become a centering point a place for healing um strategizing talking but

00:02:54.920 also redress which is a right in america where citizens from all over the country come to their

00:03:02.120 nation's capital uh to deliver grievances at the footstep of the people's house that's not what

00:03:08.040 happened we didn't see love and harmony and strategizing and coming together in unity on the

00:03:14.480 fourth of july there's a piece from the daily caller that describes a very different scene at black lives

00:03:20.640 matter plaza where the american flag is being trampled on and burned where protesters are chanting

00:03:27.440 the fourth of july the american flag that's what we're saying that's what we're saying so this isn't a place

00:03:33.000 that mariel bowser has established for the purpose of joy and togetherness and unity it's a place that

00:03:40.200 people come to express hate hate for our country hate for our nation's independence hate for our founding

00:03:47.700 for our flag and it's just unworthy of our nation's capital to give so much credence to a movement that is

00:03:56.740 expressly designed not to heal racial tension that's that should always be an admirable goal not to bring

00:04:04.940 our nation together or improve policing but to in fact demonize the very founding principles of our

00:04:11.500 country shame on mayor bowser for establishing this designation and shame on those people who are so

00:04:19.280 ungrateful and unappreciative for the benefits of america that they would go out and trample on our flag

00:04:25.440 and demean the greatest country on earth big breaking news the ceos of the major technology

00:04:34.820 companies in the united states of america are coming before the house judiciary committee

00:04:39.060 to testify in our ongoing bipartisan antitrust probe mark zuckerberg from facebook tim cook from apple

00:04:49.200 jeff bezos jeff bezos from amazon sundar pachai from google will be sitting next to one another

00:04:56.780 before the house judiciary committee answering questions about their compliance with antitrust laws

00:05:03.220 with their anti-competitive practices and with a real understanding as to how our existing laws

00:05:11.960 tend to benefit protect and indemnify big tech while squeezing out opportunities for new platforms

00:05:21.300 better consumer experiences and more freedom online so there are two areas where i think that

00:05:27.440 you'll see this here and go first is when it comes to products the vertical integration at amazon is

00:05:35.080 particularly concerning there are circumstances and experiences that we have uncovered in our

00:05:41.160 investigation where people submit their products and then amazon finds a way to steal the ip replicate

00:05:48.760 the tech and then provide the product at a lower cost harming the the innovator who is often american

00:05:56.320 and benefiting a manufacturer willing to cheat often in china or or some other asian country where there is

00:06:05.080 not substantial protection of intellectual property and then i think you'll also see concern over

00:06:10.900 thought and speech uh and the extent to which entities like google and facebook in particular

00:06:18.040 curate the information that they want and enhance it and then suppress the information that's not consistent

00:06:24.760 with their with their political beliefs and if you want to check out project veritas look at their

00:06:31.540 exposed google project their exposed facebook project you see that the very people who are engineering

00:06:39.340 and tending to these algorithms and reviewing the content are pretty brazen in their unguarded

00:06:46.700 moments about their willingness to harm people that say maga or donald trump or america first and then if

00:06:53.920 there's anything critical of the administration they do everything they can to elevate it i mean look you

00:06:59.860 see that on apple just if you're a podcast listener i mean you you can find podcasts now that are way

00:07:08.160 elevated in the rankings beyond their subscriptions beyond their plays beyond their ratings just by virtue of

00:07:15.580 the fact that their content seems to lead into this recharged sense of american wokeness and it doesn't

00:07:23.360 have to do with objectivity and so whether that is in what people think or what they buy we have

00:07:30.520 antitrust laws to protect against that type of market domination now you might hear some more

00:07:36.320 libertarian purists suggest that these antitrust laws are unconstitutional that we just ought to

00:07:43.520 allow the free market to operate and the extent to which the government interferes with that marketplace

00:07:49.280 is is only a pollution of our purest economic freedoms but that is not the view that i hold when you

00:07:59.860 look at the power that these technologies have to define society and life and commerce and speech

00:08:06.500 it it simply cannot be ignored and the laws that we have do give us tools to go in and and modify conduct

00:08:16.800 and modify the consumer experience the question will be whether or not we have the bipartisan will

00:08:23.120 to execute on those existing laws and and i think that we can do it i think we should do it and i'm proud

00:08:30.240 that my colleague david cicellini a democrat from rhode island has negotiated the physical presence of these

00:08:37.920 major ceos of text platforms it will be a historic hearing in the congress i'll be there and i can't

00:08:44.240 wait to fight for consumers and to fight for freedom online president trump delivered an amazing speech

00:08:53.360 at mount rushmore drawing americans together to meet the challenge that we face from those who would

00:09:00.000 want to replace america with something different with something diminished with something explicitly

00:09:05.440 marxist we will not embrace that return to the second world we are an innovative forward-looking

00:09:13.400 patriotic nation here are the words of the president in our schools our newsrooms even our corporate

00:09:20.760 boardrooms there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance if you do not speak its

00:09:30.360 language perform its rituals recite its mantras and follow its commandments then you will be censored

00:09:39.960 banished blacklisted blacklisted persecuted and punished it's not going to happen to us

00:09:51.720 make no mistake this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the american revolution that

00:10:02.040 is why i am deploying federal law enforcement to protect our monuments arrest the rioters

00:10:10.040 and prosecute offenders to the fullest extent of the law america's destiny is in our sights america's heroes

00:10:20.200 are embedded in our hearts america's future is in our hands and ladies and gentlemen the best is yet to come

00:10:40.520 america is seeing coronavirus cases surge and we're also seeing the average age of people with

00:10:46.920 coronavirus really start to plummet so what we're learning is that you cannot successfully tell young

00:10:55.160 people who do not fear this virus in terms of their own personal safety not to congregate because they

00:11:02.440 they will simply ignore those orders there is no mechanism by which our country can literally lock down

00:11:09.960 life to the point that teenagers and college students people in their 20s aren't going to find a way to

00:11:17.160 one another when they personally don't fear the virus now they should be concerned about the virus they

00:11:22.760 should be far more concerned about the virus than they are because young people can be vectors to our

00:11:29.000 older americans to medically fragile individuals and this is is highly contagious but what we cannot do

00:11:37.080 is go back down into the lockdown cycle for all americans because doing so has a real negative

00:11:44.280 consequence on lives this is something i've talked about on the podcast locking people up with their

00:11:49.640 abusers mental health the economic severity of a job loss on the life of a family and just the core

00:11:59.240 of of an american family but there is a really good piece that puts some meat on the bone from the

00:12:05.160 washington post it's a piece by william wan and heather long crisis for help drug overdoses are soaring

00:12:14.040 during the coronavirus pandemic and the data they analyzed talks about how suspected overdoses nationally

00:12:20.760 jumped 18 in march 29 in april and then 42 in may and this was data collected from ambulance teams

00:12:31.720 hospitals and police and this is not a linear increase this was an exponential increase and so

00:12:38.840 when we weigh the cost of lives potentially lost from coronavirus with the cost of these lockdowns i think

00:12:46.760 that the policy choices become clear we have to tell people like my parents who are medically fragile who

00:12:54.440 are in their 70s who do have underlying comorbidities to stay home to stay locked up and to limit their

00:13:02.520 interaction with people and then for younger folks who are going to interact with people we've seen that

00:13:08.840 the data shows it in florida and throughout the country we need exquisite testing we need enhanced hygiene

00:13:15.320 we need cooperation with the private sector to ensure that when people are getting food or engaging in other

00:13:22.760 essential services that they are protected and then we need to do everything we can to accelerate the

00:13:29.720 therapeutics and the vaccines if you look at the progress we've already made with rendesivir with

00:13:35.320 hydroxychloroquine i think that we will get there but in this interim time it is likely that the congress is

00:13:42.920 going to be developing more tools for businesses to keep people employed and i think that as a society we've got to

00:13:50.920 become more resilient and we cannot just rely on government to do that but it's critically important this week and

00:13:57.800 likely next week as we hear louder calls for enhanced shutdowns to think about the lives that are not just

00:14:05.000 impacted but that are lost as a consequence of shutting down american life so let's think about our fellow americans

00:14:11.720 let's be smart let's be targeted and let's do everything we can to defeat coronavirus without

00:14:18.120 losing the optimism that is inherent to this great american experience that we've had under the trump

00:14:25.320 administration let's bring america back these job numbers are improving people want to spend money they

00:14:32.920 want to be confident about america and let's give them every reason to do that with smart policy responses to

00:14:39.240 coronavirus black lives matter black lives matter supports the deconstruction of the american family

00:14:48.600 of marriages of a number of things that we've come to utilize for societal stability and success in our

00:14:55.640 country marcellus wiley was a phenomenal defensive lineman for the dallas cowboys a true standout now he is a

00:15:03.640 commentator on the nfl and he gave an interview that i think really offers a an important word of caution when

00:15:12.040 you look at the nfl's embrace of this black lives matter movement and its dangerous ideology here's marcellus wiley my

00:15:19.800 family structure is so vital important to me not only the one i grew up in but the one i'm trying to create right now being a

00:15:25.640 create right now being a father and a husband that's my mission in life right now how do i reconcile that

00:15:32.920 what i just told you with this mission statement that says quote we dismantle the patriarchal practice

00:15:40.040 we disrupt the western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement when i know statistics when i know

00:15:45.400 my reality forget statistics i knew this before i even went to columbia and saw these same statistics that

00:15:50.920 i'm going to read to you right now that children from single parent homes versus two parent homes the

00:15:57.160 children from the single parent homes this is in 1995 i was reading this five times more likely to

00:16:02.120 commit suicide six times more likely to be in poverty nine times more likely to drop out of high school

00:16:06.440 ten times more likely to abuse chemical substances 14 times more likely to commit rape 20 times more

00:16:11.720 likely to end up in prison and 32 times more likely to run away from home i knew that you know why i knew it

00:16:17.800 because a lot of my friends didn't have family structures that were nuclear like mine and they

00:16:22.680 found themselves outside of their dreams and goals and aspirations so when i see that or as a mission

00:16:30.840 statement for black lives matter it makes me scratch my head when i also see their mission is to eradicate

00:16:37.400 white supremacy in 2020 white supremacy is the mission that's a lot of digging through minutia right there

00:16:46.360 i am on a show that i'm hosting along with another black guy who is hosting with me who replaced another

00:16:51.800 black guy and that's just one example of it so i understand i respect your space i respect what you're

00:16:57.880 protesting for but will you respect others who don't support that same protest jason reed with espn

00:17:04.680 is reporting that the nfl will play the black national anthem before week one games this song lift every

00:17:12.760 voice and sing is traditionally known as the black national anthem and they will play it before the

00:17:18.280 star-spangled banner i am flabbergasted by this america is one nation we have one national anthem and we have

00:17:29.720 one unified destiny the fact that the nfl is doing this does not upset me because of some you know elevation

00:17:39.240 of some group of people it bothers me because it divides us as a country like we don't have a

00:17:46.120 hispanic national anthem and an asian national anthem we have an american national anthem and and i think

00:17:52.760 that part of what makes our country special is that people come here to embrace the values of americanism

00:17:59.400 and those are values that have made up a tremendously successful mosaic of people and experiences and

00:18:07.880 successes for our country how can we continue to advance america under the concept that we rise and

00:18:16.680 fall together if we continue to divide ourselves into more and more distinct groups and and i think

00:18:23.080 ultimately if you if you have to divide your yourself into groups uh for some sense of grievance or

00:18:30.520 victimhood that's all the more challenging and troubling and concerning and i that seems to be what

00:18:35.960 this is like they're not playing the black national anthem as the consequence of some celebration they're

00:18:42.200 playing it out of grievance and i think that we lose the uniqueness of the bond we have as americans

00:18:49.880 if we allow that to persist so it's it's really disgusting that the nfl would would stoop to division

00:18:57.400 and uh the the acceptance of different americas rather than one unified nation and i think that they will see

00:19:05.640 a resulting decline in their fan base as a consequence i mean the nfl took a hit in terms of valuation in

00:19:12.360 terms of viewership in terms of the the economic impact of their television contracts and merchandising

00:19:19.560 sales when they decided to embrace elements of the kneeling for the flag which is something i don't

00:19:25.080 support and so now you continue to see these elements of americanism attacked by the nfl watered down

00:19:31.560 by the nfl and this is not the action of a great institution within american life i think that

00:19:37.960 you're going to see the nfl decline in terms of its social significance in our country and that's a shame

00:19:44.440 because it was something that used to bring families together people would have barbecues invite their

00:19:49.880 neighbors and friends over cheer for their favorite teams develop rivalries and and you know fun leagues at

00:19:56.120 work uh to test each other's knowledge of sports and now you see something far different sports being used

00:20:03.400 as a divisive feature of american society be better nfl love america more the real america all of america

00:20:14.040 unified under one flag and one anthem

00:20:19.000 chris osborne at the national interest has a phenomenal piece on the f-35 and the next

00:20:25.720 generation of warfare launched from the skies i care a lot about the f-35 program we've got a

00:20:32.680 number of these aircraft bed down in my district in northwest florida here's the innovation imagine

00:20:39.160 an f-35 that is not just a platform for missiles but then also can essentially birth and launch out

00:20:47.640 a swarm of drones that can then be controlled from the f-35 so instead of just one aircraft engaged

00:20:55.640 if you get the aircraft into the airspace you need you then have essentially a swarm that you're able

00:21:02.600 to control to overwhelm air defense systems you know one of the challenges that we face in north

00:21:09.480 korea one of the challenges we face when looking at china as a near-peer threat is that they've really

00:21:14.840 developed some some high-end air defense systems but if we're able to have the stealth capabilities of

00:21:21.560 the f-35 then linked to the swarming drone capabilities birthed out of the f-35 it is really

00:21:29.720 going to be a force multiplier it is my belief that we are not going to win the wars of the future

00:21:35.960 against our near-peer adversaries and against near power competition just with the airplanes alone

00:21:43.320 it's going to take the right missile systems weapon systems and so we have to view the aircraft

00:21:49.560 not as an end unto itself but as essentially an innovation platform so that these new capabilities

00:21:56.360 can be added on and can be developed so i'm really excited about this check out the piece in the

00:22:01.480 national interest the united states of america must always hold the high ground

00:22:09.400 thanks for listening to hot takes i'm congressman matt gates and you'll likely be listening to kanye west on

00:22:15.640 his upcoming new album before you're listening to him deliver a stump speech on a presidential campaign

00:22:22.280 kanye announces his presidential aspirations via twitter with a hashtag vision 2020 he obviously has

00:22:31.800 an album coming out this is obviously a publicity stunt he got some attention when elon musk his friend

00:22:39.400 who had posted a picture with kanye i think in the prior day tweeted out that kanye had elon musk's

00:22:46.440 full support well i think that's support for the publicity stunt and for the album i like kanye's music

00:22:54.120 i'm gonna buy the album i'm gonna listen to the album it it seems to have some faith-based tones to

00:22:59.320 it and kanye is always a magical lyricist so i'm i'm looking forward to it maybe not so much the

00:23:05.800 presidential run but i don't think we have to worry about that tune in tomorrow make sure to like and
