00:00:00.000 You ever watch this guy on television?
00:00:03.940 You all were not telling the truth and you should not be trusted.
00:00:06.920 Congressman Matt Gaetz, thank you for what you did for your country tonight.
00:00:09.280 Be offended with the Democratic whip, not House Republicans.
00:00:12.240 Like a machine, Matt Gaetz.
00:00:16.240 Welcome to Hot Takes. I'm Congressman Matt Gaetz.
00:00:19.400 Let's talk about the news.
00:00:21.140 And the good news of the day is that progress is really being made on the development of a coronavirus vaccine.
00:00:27.300 The Associated Press has the news and Dr. Fauci is quoted saying,
00:00:32.640 no matter how you slice it, this is good news with a vaccine candidate now ready for full testing within the United States of America.
00:00:42.660 So here's the story.
00:00:44.200 The National Institute of Health has teamed up with Moderna, Inc.
00:00:48.000 So it's a it's a joint venture.
00:00:49.660 And by the way, most drug and vaccine ventures in the United States are joint ventures with the taxpayer participating at some level of the research and development.
00:00:58.840 But in this particular candidate, you've had 45 people take the vaccine back in March.
00:01:06.660 And the testing now shows that the vaccine was successful at blocking the coronavirus for those people.
00:01:14.360 And so now the goal is to deploy that vaccine to 30,000 people.
00:01:19.360 So a real massive expansion in the application of the vaccine.
00:01:24.640 And then at the end of the year, we could have information that would allow us to have wide scale vaccine deployment.
00:01:32.000 So the 45 people that took the vaccine before were younger folks.
00:01:36.740 So that is one variable that you've got to extinguish by testing both younger and older people in the 30,000 person study that's about to happen.
00:01:47.160 But if we get this done, if we get a vaccine candidate across the finish line, this will be the greatest win for the Trump administration.
00:01:55.540 You know, it will also signify that we've beat China.
00:01:58.720 A lot of the talking heads, a lot of the global health experts that you see on American liberal cable news tell you that China should be a bet on to develop the first vaccine candidate for wide scale deployment.
00:02:13.180 But it appears that the United States, despite having information hid from us by China, despite the World Health Organization sort of sticking up for China as we were trying to get access to the virus sequence and other critical information.
00:02:27.520 It looks like we could come out ahead to help the world with true medical diplomacy, with true American innovation, with outstanding leadership from the Trump administration.
00:02:38.820 So let's hope that this latest vaccine candidate will be successful.
00:02:42.860 But it's not the only vaccine candidate.
00:02:44.680 Dr. Fauci also points out in the story that there are literally hundreds of candidates.
00:02:49.500 We're not rooting for any one of them.
00:02:51.380 We're rooting for all of them.
00:02:52.580 And with as many people as there are on the planet Earth, we may need more than one vaccine to get the manufacturing and requisite inputs and ingredients together so that we can get our planet vaccinated from this terrible China virus. 1.00
00:03:08.640 Good luck to the Trump administration and the National Institute of Health and Moderna, Inc.
00:03:13.180 We're all rooting for you.
00:03:14.380 We hope that these 30,000 Americans who will receive this test or I should say this vaccine will see the virus blocked as a consequence.
00:03:25.980 Some disappointing news in the moments prior to a hearing where the Trump administration was going to defend the rule that I'd covered on the podcast, not allowing students to stay in the United States who don't have to show up for class.
00:03:40.980 That rule has apparently been rescinded by the Trump administration as the consequence of litigation filed by Harvard and MIT and a number of other entities seeking to invalidate the rule.
00:03:54.540 The Trump administration, I suspect, will refile, will revise.
00:03:59.300 But this is a step backwards, in my opinion, on America First policies.
00:04:03.960 If someone is a foreign student in the United States for the purpose of showing up to class and there is no class to show up to, there is no reason why those students cannot engage in their learning from their home countries.
00:04:18.740 But, unfortunately, we've seen the academia world flex and we've seen that flex prevail temporarily and it's my hope that the Trump administration will respond with a revised rule that can withstand legal scrutiny.
00:04:34.700 China is not our friend. 1.00
00:04:39.700 Huawei is not our friend.
00:04:42.400 DJI drones are spying on us from the sky.
00:04:45.760 TikTok is utilizing its wide deployment in the United States for facial recognition.
00:04:52.660 Chinese genomics companies are sequencing our genes to test our vulnerabilities.
00:04:57.340 And I am glad that Britain is finally standing up to China and it appears following the lead of the Trump administration. 0.52
00:05:06.160 The story comes from our friends at the National Pulse.
00:05:10.000 Rahim Kassam has been all over the impacts of Huawei, both in the United States and Britain, that could be negative in terms of the dual use for surveillance and for a strategic advantage for China.
00:05:24.020 Rahim Kassam, the editor of the National Pulse.
00:05:26.620 And, again, that is a site that covers the CCP corruption and influence and, I think, nefarious activity in the United States better than any.
00:05:38.020 So you want to make sure you check it out.
00:05:40.060 But by 2027, according to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, they will be ripping out their Huawei assets and replacing them with a system that will provide better resilience and better protection for the people of Britain.
00:05:53.920 And that's just one step.
00:05:55.020 Also, the plans to utilize Chinese infrastructure for 5G technology in Britain have also been scrapped.
00:06:04.740 And Prime Minister Boris Johnson gives credit to the Trump administration, saying that U.S. sanctions were a total game changer on Huawei and have convinced Britain to flip their strategy.
00:06:16.320 So I think this is really an excellent opportunity for Britain in the United States now to work with other countries to try to limit the Chinese infiltration and surveillance through these various technology platforms.
00:06:32.500 Now, I asked these questions in the Judiciary Committee because too much of rural America is being connected by Huawei parts. 0.66
00:06:41.420 And it was startling to me to learn that Huawei actually sits on the board of entities that are involved in planning out and strategizing rural broadband connection.
00:06:52.280 Here's the hearing from the Judiciary Committee.
00:06:54.140 Ms. Bennett, do your members contain Huawei or ZTE equipment?
00:06:58.560 Yes.
00:06:59.300 We have about 25 percent of our members have those two Chinese vendors in their networks.
00:07:05.400 They did it because they had universal service funds to spend.
00:07:08.480 They were trying to look for a low-cost, economical way to spend their money, and they did deploy those back in 2010, 2011, before it became known that it was a problem.
00:07:19.040 And our members—
00:07:19.640 So for the sake of cost, your members do have Huawei and ZTE parts.
00:07:24.320 Do your member—or does Huawei sit on your board?
00:07:27.960 We do have a member—a Huawei representative on our board.
00:07:31.440 So there's more to do in the United States, more to do around the world, but it's great to see that our great partners in Britain are rejecting Chinese domination and are standing up for Western civilization.
00:07:45.540 Oranges might not be the only thing getting juiced in the state of Florida.
00:07:50.840 The coronavirus numbers may be getting juiced as well, artificially enhanced for the purposes of hospital or other medical center funding.
00:07:59.360 I warned about this.
00:08:01.200 I talked with congressional colleagues and state leaders, and here was my fear.
00:08:06.100 That some hospitals may designate people as coronavirus victims or having coronavirus without a true positive test so that they could enhance funding to their hospital system.
00:08:21.420 The hospital industrial complex is not your friend.
00:08:24.760 The hospital industrial complex in Florida and throughout the country has been a cost driver in the provision of health care.
00:08:33.380 And one of the biggest problems that I think both parties have is that we're all focused on health insurance and health coverage as the centerpiece of a health care plan when we really haven't done enough to drive down health care costs.
00:08:46.100 And the cost drivers are these massive infrastructures in hospital systems that have so much overhead, that have so much, I think, waste and fraud and abuse in some circumstances.
00:08:58.760 Not in every circumstance, but in some.
00:09:00.720 And it appears that our friends at Fox 35 News in Orlando have done some very thorough investigative reporting at Orlando Health.
00:09:09.980 And by the way, I know the folks at Fox 35, Orlando, very centrally located in Florida.
00:09:15.600 I'm by there for a lot of media hits, and they are nose to the grindstone real journalists there.
00:09:21.880 And here's what they discovered.
00:09:23.300 That at Orlando Health, in some of the records where they were indicating a 98% COVID rate, that rate was actually 9.4%.
00:09:33.840 So moving a decimal, squiggling a number can make a real difference in the overall number of cases, but it's just straight-up fraud.
00:09:42.660 And there are some people who might characterize it, oh, as a Scrivener's error or a mistake, but I doubt that.
00:09:48.700 I think that there is a desire to show your health system as an inflection point for COVID so that you get more money.
00:09:55.760 And it's a perverse incentive that makes our state look bad, unreasonably and unnecessarily.
00:10:01.700 Not just Orlando Health, also at the VA in Jacksonville, a 76% reported rate upon thorough review and discovery was actually a 6% rate.
00:10:13.980 So let's do more to get the numbers right.
00:10:16.540 Let's ensure that we actually drill down into the positivity rates versus deaths or ailments that cannot properly be categorized as coronavirus.
00:10:27.100 And let's not allow the hospital industrial complex to seize the untoward opportunity to grab money off the table by mislabeling their data and mislabeling their results.
00:10:38.840 I think that in Florida, we need a more thorough audit of our full health care system, in particular, our major hospital systems, to ensure that there are not funny numbers, improper reporting for the sake of acquiring resources.
00:10:54.680 Do better, Orlando Health.
00:10:56.220 Great reporting from our friends at Fox 35 Orlando.
00:11:01.760 The New York Times should not be considered the paper of record in America.
00:11:07.140 It is a bastion of liberal groupthink, and it is oftentimes a home for anti-Americanism.
00:11:16.660 Barry Weiss, the former now opinion editor, pens a just blistering critique of the Times and their liberal groupthink.
00:11:25.900 And I'm going to read just part of it to you, but this is absolutely worth a read.
00:11:30.820 We're going to put it out on our social media.
00:11:32.560 It exposes the New York Times and I think a lot of the media companies in the United States because they have a lot of these similar conditions.
00:11:41.460 But let me read to you from Barry Weiss's letter.
00:11:43.860 I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago.
00:11:48.340 I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages.
00:11:53.260 First-time writers, centrists, conservatives, and others who would not naturally think of the Times as their home.
00:11:59.580 The reason for this effort was clear.
00:12:01.680 The paper's failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn't have a firm grasp of the country it covers.
00:12:09.020 Dean Baquette and others have admitted as much on various occasions.
00:12:13.640 The priority in opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming.
00:12:18.440 And the letter continues.
00:12:19.380 But the lessons that ought to have been followed during the election, lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans,
00:12:26.540 the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society have not been learned.
00:12:35.500 Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper,
00:12:42.380 that the truth isn't a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job it is to inform everyone else.
00:12:54.040 Twitter is not the masthead of the New York Times, but Twitter has become its ultimate editor.
00:13:00.280 What rules remain at the Times are applied with extreme selectivity.
00:13:04.280 If a person's ideology is in keeping with the new orthodoxy, they and their work remain unscrutindized.
00:13:12.660 Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome.
00:13:15.920 Online venom is excused so long as it is directed at the proper targets.
00:13:20.980 Op-eds that would have easily been published just two years ago would now get an editor or a writer in serious trouble if not fired.
00:13:28.300 If a piece is perceived as likely to inspire backlash internally or on social media, the editor or writer avoids publishing it.
00:13:36.760 If she feels strongly enough to suggest it, she is quickly steered to safer ground.
00:13:41.300 And if every now and then she succeeds in getting a piece published that does not explicitly promote progressive causes,
00:13:47.840 it happens only after every line is carefully managed, negotiated, and caveated.
00:13:53.860 It really is something now, and I'm speaking in my own voice here, that someone hired with the express purpose of remedying this horrible liberal bias at the New York Times
00:14:05.360 would have to be forced to resign because they see the truth, the very truth that I've been telling the American people for years now.
00:14:12.660 And that is that the press in our country no longer seek to record events and report them.
00:14:18.700 They seek to shape events.
00:14:20.340 And the perverse thing is that America deserves politicians bold enough to take action and a press honest enough to report on it.
00:14:30.360 But instead we get the opposite.
00:14:32.220 We get too many politicians that are willing to just watch the world go by and allow their service to be handed off to the special interests that donate the most to their campaigns.
00:14:42.320 And then we've got journalists who, instead of reporting on information, want to go and shape events with their advocacy.
00:14:49.100 So I'd like more advocacy in public service and less handing it off to the special interests and perhaps less advocacy journalism and more honest journalism.
00:14:59.640 The New York Times lies.
00:15:01.800 The New York Times reports information inaccurately.
00:15:04.980 And the New York Times should not be trusted.
00:15:08.040 Don't just take my word for it.
00:15:09.440 Take the word of their former opinion editor who had to resign as a result of their corrupt bias.
00:15:17.800 Ted Cruz had his mask off for a moment on an airplane.
00:15:22.760 Hurry up.
00:15:23.360 Call the mask police. 0.97
00:15:25.460 I mean, give me a freaking break. 0.63
00:15:27.080 So there are apparently Democrat staffers who are now riding around on aircraft between major hubs trying to catch members of Congress in an unguarded moment without a mask on. 0.58
00:15:39.840 And in this particular photograph, you clearly see Senator Cruz is holding a coffee cup, obviously taking a, you know, about to take a sip and removed his mask.
00:15:50.360 Now, if the Democratic Congressional Committee can figure out a way to sip a cup of coffee with a mask on, I'm all ears.
00:15:58.220 But this mask shaming thing has just gone too far in our country.
00:16:02.900 Look, I wear a mask as much as practical in the public.
00:16:06.580 I can't say that every time I take a bite of popcorn or a sip of coffee that I don't lower the mask for a moment.
00:16:12.860 And I think it's far more productive for us to work together as Americans to encourage one another to have better hygiene and to socially distance rather than engage in political mask shaming.
00:16:25.140 Is this the best you can do from the Democratic Congressional Committee?
00:16:28.540 Are these the people you want leading the country just to go around and try to troll people for their mask off moments?
00:16:36.320 Give me a break.
00:16:37.400 I don't think this is a story.
00:16:38.980 I don't think this is significant.
00:16:40.340 Senator Cruz, enjoy your coffee sip on your next airplane ride and then put the mask back on.
00:16:49.360 As Americans get ready for school to restart, there's a lot of interest in the extent to which the coronavirus does or does not spread in the schools.
00:16:59.540 And there's news from The Telegraph's Justin Huggler entitled German Study Finds No Evidence Coronavirus Spreads in Schools.
00:17:08.200 So in this particular study from Dresden University, they test 2,045 students, 13 teachers in schools where there had been coronavirus.
00:17:19.260 And what they found is that not only did the virus not present in a lot of these students, also the antibodies did not present.
00:17:26.180 So that would seem to suggest that there's not like a lot of asymptomatic spread that's occurring.
00:17:31.980 There may be not much spread at all.
00:17:34.260 In this case, you only saw 12 that even showed the antibodies after this test had been conducted.
00:17:41.120 So I hope that this means that perhaps students, I don't know if it's behaviors, I don't know if it's just the cell division that's occurring during adolescence,
00:17:50.760 but it appears to be greater resilience on the part of the young people in this particular German study.
00:17:56.380 So it's something to look at for our educational professionals as they get school open.
00:18:00.920 And it's certainly my hope that this is not a virus that is going to ravage young people.
00:18:05.560 What has ravaged young people is the diminished learning that has resulted from these lockdowns and from the inability to have in-person instruction.
00:18:14.540 I see it with my own son.
00:18:16.140 I don't think that these digital learning opportunities can totally substitute for in-person instruction for some students.
00:18:24.820 I think there are students who will learn excellent on these digital platforms exclusively,
00:18:30.000 but there is an echelon of students that absolutely needs some in-person instruction in order to be successful at this stage of the game.
00:18:38.300 I mean, maybe students can learn techniques that assist with greater digital pedagogy,
00:18:44.280 but that is not the case, I think, for every student in America today.
00:18:48.520 So I'm encouraged by the results of this German study.
00:18:51.160 I think that in the United States, we need partnerships with our school districts,
00:18:56.220 with the National Institute of Health, and with the U.S. Department of Education
00:19:00.260 to ensure we have very strong testing, very strong sanitation, but that we get back to the business of learning.
00:19:08.520 Remember, America does not have an edge on the world just by virtue of our name or our geography.
00:19:15.440 We have an edge on the world because our people are capable of greater intellectual prowess and greater achievement.
00:19:23.760 I mean, we have driven the industrial revolution.
00:19:26.900 We have driven the technical revolution.
00:19:29.500 We have driven the online revolution as a consequence of learning in our schools
00:19:34.240 and the ability to take that learning into the marketplace and succeed.
00:19:37.780 So let's continue with the greatest education system in the world,
00:19:41.280 and let's hope that this German study proves to be accurate when it comes to schools as a potential hotspot.
00:19:51.860 Innovation Ivanka is back at it again.
00:19:55.260 I am so impressed with Ivanka Trump's ability to modernize and improve America's workforce for years and decades to come.
00:20:05.320 Ivanka really sees our workforce not as it is today, but as it has to be in the future,
00:20:11.960 whether that's providing family leave so that more women can make substantial contributions to the workforce 0.98
00:20:18.160 and have families and be productive and build the foundation of America through the family,
00:20:23.920 whether it's ensuring that there's greater technical education for those who want the types of jobs
00:20:29.440 that maybe we haven't even contemplated yet but that will exist in the future.
00:20:33.120 And also I think Ivanka is playing a very big role in deconstructing the notion that every student has to go
00:20:40.300 and participate in higher education to make a meaningful contribution to our country.
00:20:45.720 So here's the news of today.
00:20:48.060 Ivanka Trump has worked in partnership with the Ad Council, Apple, IBM,
00:20:53.100 to provide the leaders of our country a greater access to workers who might not go to college.
00:20:59.640 And she's launched a website in concert with these partners called findsomethingnew.org, findsomethingnew.org.
00:21:07.400 And what it does is it really advertises the opportunities that are available to Americans
00:21:12.260 where you get more of that on-the-job training from some of these highly technical employers.
00:21:18.320 So go check it out.
00:21:19.600 You know, maybe as a consequence of coronavirus, we have to be more nimble in our response to workforce needs.
00:21:25.660 Maybe we need to look for ways where people can telecommute and make a contribution in a better way
00:21:31.980 or where people are going to have to evolve to entirely new needs in the workforce.
00:21:37.380 You know, I think in the era of pandemic, and I don't think that coronavirus is the last pandemic we'll face,
00:21:43.760 we need a workforce that is, in fact, flexible and capable and tied to the needs of America's future.
00:21:51.300 So here's Ivanka explaining the proposal.
00:21:53.120 As part of our Pledge to America's Workers Initiative, today we launched findsomethingnew.org.
00:21:59.080 You have to check it out.
00:22:00.140 It's amazing for workers and students of all ages and backgrounds.
00:22:04.180 It showcases the different pathways that exist to career success that don't require a traditional two- or four-year college degree.
00:22:12.480 Really an incredible website.
00:22:14.320 So I encourage you to check it out, findsomethingnew.org.
00:22:17.300 We're proud of you, Ivanka.
00:22:18.380 We're proud of the Trump administration.
00:22:19.960 And we know there are greater things to come.
00:22:23.120 Now, television host and music personality, Nick Cannon, is a racist.
00:22:31.200 Listen to what he has to say.
00:22:32.400 Melanin comes with soul, that we call it.
00:22:34.420 We call it soul.
00:22:35.240 We soul brothers and sisters.
00:22:36.940 That's the melanin that connects us.
00:22:38.420 So the people that don't have it have – are a little – and I'm going to say this carefully – are a little less in where the term actually comes from.
00:22:50.720 Because I'm bringing it all the way back around to Minister Farrakhan to where they may not have the compassion or the – when they were sent to the mountains of Caucasus, when they didn't have the power of the sun, that was – that the sun then started to deteriorate them.
00:23:08.960 So then they're acting out of fear.
00:23:12.940 They're acting out of low self-esteem.
00:23:16.560 They're acting out of a deficiency.
00:23:20.240 So therefore, the only way that they can act is evil. 0.96
00:23:23.980 The only way they can – they have to rob, steal, rape, kill, and fight or flight in order to survive. 0.84
00:23:30.160 Exactly.
00:23:30.860 So then these people who didn't have what we had – and when I say we, I speak of the melanated people.
00:23:37.380 Right. 0.82
00:23:37.920 They had to be savages. 0.99
00:23:39.680 They had to be barbaric. 0.89
00:23:42.300 They had – because they're in these Nordic mountains.
00:23:44.640 They're in these rough, torrential environments.
00:23:48.420 So they're acting as animals.
00:23:50.880 Right.
00:23:51.220 So they're the ones that are actually closer to animals.
00:23:54.600 They're the ones that are actually the true savages.
00:23:58.300 Calling people savages, pretending as if they have diminished ability or diminished capability for intellect or empathy or care for one another, is explicitly racist.
00:24:12.480 Someone's skin color is an immutable trait. 1.00
00:24:15.160 It's not something you can change.
00:24:17.320 And so I don't believe that any American, whether they're white, black, Asian, Native American, Samoan, Eskimo, whatever it is you are,
00:24:26.000 I think that all people should be treated equally.
00:24:28.620 I don't think we should go into any interaction with another human being trying to diminish or even enhance their contribution solely as a result of their skin color.
00:24:39.180 The fundamental premise of America is that we are equal in the eyes of the law and we should treat each other with that kind of respect.
00:24:46.900 Calvin Coolidge, former president, said that Americans are the peers of kings.
00:24:52.220 And if we truly are, then we ought to treat one another with that type of reverence and care.
00:24:57.540 And if we do, we'll have a better, more loving, more empathetic and understanding society.
00:25:02.640 But we don't get there with rants like Nick Cannon's.
00:25:05.020 I hope he is fired from every program he's a part of until he shows some ability to demonstrate care and concern for everyone.
00:25:14.460 And again, you know, I'm not applying a double standard to cancel culture, but the left surely is.
00:25:20.220 You know, if a white person said this about someone of black skin color or brown skin color, they would be gone.
00:25:27.800 I mean, you would never hear from them again. 0.50
00:25:29.900 They would be deplatformed.
00:25:31.280 They would be fired.
00:25:32.000 They would be shamed and rightfully so, because these aren't things that that folks should say.
00:25:37.000 And I am also troubled by Instagram's embrace of this notion of diminishing someone's contribution as a consequence of their skin color.
00:25:48.160 They had a an Instagram sticker that was mute white people.
00:25:52.920 And folks had used that until Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr., I should say, and a number of other conservative journalists spoke out against it.
00:26:00.920 And now Instagram has removed the mute white people sticker from their platform.
00:26:07.580 Who thought this was a good idea?
00:26:09.140 Who thought it was okay to say that because of the color of your skin that you should be muted, that people shouldn't listen to you?
00:26:16.300 This is a very dangerous time in America.
00:26:18.420 And by the way, if people of color think that it's a good idea and cheeky to utilize these stickers, utilize the phraseology of Nick Cannon, know that that is not only bad for people that don't look like you. 0.80
00:26:34.100 It's bad for you, too, because what it does is it reinforces the notion that Americans can use the skin color of another person to treat them differently.
00:26:43.000 And in this case, particularly to treat them worse, that's not a good thing for people of color.
00:26:48.120 That's not a good thing for America.
00:26:50.360 So let's get back to a society that doesn't utilize identity as its organizing principle.
00:26:56.220 Let's instead utilize American success and American progress and grace and patriotism as unifying principles.
00:27:06.140 That is the way to create the spirit that has led to American success and American primacy for my entire life.
00:27:15.420 And I don't want to give it up for the sake of wokeness.
00:27:19.060 Thanks for listening to Hot Takes.
00:27:20.860 I'm Congressman Matt Gaetz.
00:27:22.500 I'm often asked by Americans what people can do to help contribute to an America first success for our country.
00:27:30.320 And one thing we really need is for you to help enhance our content and our ability to speak to the American people.
00:27:36.940 I've covered on the podcast a lot the challenges we face from big tech trying to silence our voices and enhance our opponents.
00:27:44.180 And so what you can do is share this podcast, subscribe to this podcast, rate and review this podcast.
00:27:51.220 And then whenever you see folks who are tweeting, Facebooking, Instagramming themes that promote our country and that bring us together, I hope that you'll also share and promote those as well.
00:28:03.260 Let's get out there and unify our great country and ensure that we have American proud success for generations to come.
