The Anchormen Show with Matt Gaetz - Episode 77 - Liberal Media Triggered Over RNC. CNN's Ridiculous Chyrons. Burning Buildings and Endangering Communities is Domestic Terrorism.

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

00:00:13.940 welcome to hot takes i'm congressman matt gates let's talk about the news in louisiana and texas

00:00:22.480 it appears that while the wind damage was significant and the storm surge certainly

00:00:27.840 devastating in some places if there was any place you had to tuck a category 4 hurricane

00:00:33.840 up into a wildlife refuge is a pretty good place and the worst of the eastern eye wall

00:00:40.880 may have gone just there obviously there's still a loss of life the governor john bell edwards

00:00:47.800 indicating that a 14 year old girl died when a tree fell on her there's also been substantial power

00:00:53.980 outages but one thing that we know is that there is harm following hurricanes that

00:00:59.520 can last for days and even weeks water quality is an issue access to electricity to keep medication

00:01:07.420 cool and available for patients is another major concern and with coronavirus you essentially have

00:01:15.860 a natural disaster as the gift wrap for a pandemic and we need to remember the essentials the blocking

00:01:25.860 and tackling of emergency management that emergency management is best done when locally executed

00:01:31.860 state managed and federally supported here's my hot take the best thing the federal government

00:01:38.180 can do right now is ensure that every place where people have to congregate as a result of displacement

00:01:44.020 from hurricane laura have access to rapid real-time testing i have seen in washington dc at the white

00:01:52.260 house at you know gatherings of people the ability to execute on real-time testing and our fellow americans

00:02:00.180 who are displaced from their homes who are having to gather in shelters absolutely need that testing

00:02:06.020 resource available so i will be working to encourage our federal partners to provide that i don't think this

00:02:13.060 requires the federal government big footing state and local efforts but we cannot be in a circumstance

00:02:19.220 where the challenges as a consequence of hurricane laura are exacerbated in some of these shelters and in some of

00:02:26.100 these facilities with this type of water rise with this type of wind damage you're going to see people out of their

00:02:32.900 homes and we need to make sure that they're safe

00:02:35.060 last night at the republican convention madison cawthorn a an incoming a likely member of congress

00:02:44.660 from the state of north carolina he won the seat vacated by our friend mark meadows when he became

00:02:49.540 chief of staff madison cawthorn gave a phenomenal speech take a listen join us as we the party of

00:02:56.260 freedom double down on ensuring the american dream for all people we are committed to building a new

00:03:02.420 town square it welcomes all ideas and all people here we will have freedom of speech not freedom from

00:03:09.540 speech to liberals i say let's have a conversation be a true liberal listen to other ideas and let the

00:03:17.540 best ones prevail and to conservatives i say let's define what we support and win the argument in areas

00:03:24.740 like health care on the environment in this new town square you don't have to apologize for your

00:03:30.740 beliefs or cower to a mob you can kneel before god but stand for our flag the american idea my ancestors

00:03:39.860 fought for during the revolutionary war is just as exciting and revolutionary today as it was 250 years

00:03:47.060 ago i say to americans who love our country young and old be a radical for freedom be a radical for liberty

00:03:56.660 and be a radical for our republic for which i stand one nation under god with liberty and justice for

00:04:06.820 all thank you and may god bless america an inspiring young man indeed i know that he's coming to washington

00:04:14.020 with the right goal fighting for our country and he's already created a good amount of buzz in this town and

00:04:20.500 all for the right reasons and all for the way he carries himself that brings us to what i think was

00:04:26.500 not a very hot take from yamish alcindor she is a journalist with pbs and yamish tweets that madison

00:04:34.900 cawthorne standing during his remarks as someone who was injured in a car accident as someone who's confined

00:04:42.100 to a wheelchair that his standing was a bad rebuke of professional athletes who kneel as a consequence 0.75

00:04:50.340 of their objections ostensibly to police brutality that's ridiculous madison cawthorne has to live 0.99

00:04:57.860 every day in a wheelchair likely in pain that yamish alcindor could never possibly comprehend or

00:05:04.180 understand you know i see in my own mother the strength that disabled americans show just to do the

00:05:11.380 basic things that we take for granted my mother's been in a wheelchair for 35 years and you know i see not

00:05:18.020 only the challenge that that creates for her in her life but also the opportunity that that creates

00:05:23.220 for her to inspire others and madison seems to not be acting in critique or diminution of others

00:05:30.100 but to to restore himself to utilize the challenges he's gone through as a way to motivate others and

00:05:37.540 to instill patriotism in others and love of country and ambition and motivation i think those are values and

00:05:44.740 virtues we ought to see reflected more in the united states congress and shame on yamish alcindor for

00:05:50.260 criticizing congressman to be madison cawthorne for taking a stand even though he spends most of his

00:05:56.740 days in a chair kenosha wisconsin continues to see violence they continue to see destruction

00:06:07.940 fires listen to this report from cnn's omar jimenez what you're seeing behind me is one of

00:06:12.900 multiple locations that have been burning in kenosha wisconsin over the course of the night a second

00:06:19.380 night since jacob blake was seen shot in the back seven times it appears omar is giving an accurate

00:06:26.260 description of what he's seeing what's i guess a little bizarre is that the chiron that's the lower

00:06:32.420 third those are the words that you see on the screen as you watch the television show which are

00:06:37.460 typically not able to be seen by the correspondent or the reporter giving you the news those words

00:06:43.220 read fiery but mostly peaceful protests uh as as omar is giving that description of something that

00:06:50.740 clearly was not peaceful something that was destructive if you are burning buildings down

00:06:55.860 you are not engaged in a peaceful protest if you are making communities less safe you are not engaged in

00:07:02.660 political speech you are engaged in really a form of domestic terrorism that we need to identify

00:07:09.540 and investigate and prosecute as the destructive activity that it truly is so i appreciate the honest

00:07:18.260 reporting from omar jimenez but gosh those cnn producers back in their you know comfortable booths in

00:07:26.020 new york or atlanta or wherever they seem to have no problem recasting what is going on on the streets

00:07:32.100 of america as mostly peaceful even though it isn't we need to see and speak the truth

00:07:42.740 it is a day of boycotts for the nba the wnba major league baseball for major league soccer on august 26th

00:07:51.860 there will be no sports games played in those leagues as a result of postponement or boycott and

00:07:58.820 while i don't love it while i prefer for americans to be able to unify and celebrate the excellence of

00:08:05.620 our fellow americans our fellow human beings who can do things we cannot on the athletic field

00:08:11.460 i certainly prefer it to kneeling or refusing to stand for our flag and our national anthem here there's

00:08:19.140 a political point that uh these players want to make by not playing and while it's not a political

00:08:25.460 point that that i agree with i don't believe that policing is intractably racist i think most police

00:08:31.460 are good i think a vast majority of police are good this um skipping of competition for a day just

00:08:39.620 doesn't seem like the over generalized indictment of america that we get from the unpatriotic activity

00:08:46.740 of kneeling for our flag and for our anthem so you know i i guess i will join by not going to the gym

00:08:53.380 today i guess by that standard i have been boycotting uh for quite some time but we are uh you know

00:09:00.660 looking forward to sports being back a part of our lives and uh certainly hopeful that if athletes

00:09:06.980 would like to continue to make a political point which they obviously have every right to do that

00:09:12.100 they do so in a way that does not degradate the greatest country that has ever existed the united states

00:09:19.140 of america tucker carlson is doing probably exactly what tucker carlson wants to be doing right now he is

00:09:29.620 triggering the left saying things that really no one else on television or in public life is saying

00:09:35.460 take a listen to tucker's monologue kenosha has devolved into anarchy because the authorities in charge

00:09:40.820 of the city abandoned it people in charge from the governor of wisconsin on down refused to enforce

00:09:47.940 the law they stood back and they watched kenosha burn so we're really surprised that looting and

00:09:52.820 arson accelerated to murder how shocked are we that 17 year olds with rifles decided they had to

00:09:59.220 maintain order when no one else would everyone could see what was happening in kenosha it was getting

00:10:05.140 crazier by the hour

00:10:23.700 kill the police death to america that's not iran it's wisconsin it could have been a dozen other places in

00:10:32.100 this country the violence has been building unabated for three months now every day the mob 0.98

00:10:37.220 becomes more radical by some accounts 30 americans have died so far in these riots democrats have openly

00:10:44.020 encouraged them republican leaders have been too fearful to stop them some have applauded it all

00:10:48.500 murderous that's how tucker describes someone engaged in a vigilante killing he doesn't glorify it

00:10:54.580 he doesn't justify it but i do think it's important to explain it and define it and here if someone takes

00:11:01.060 the law into their own hands if they go and shoot into protesters whether those protesters are peaceful

00:11:06.580 or not you know that is an act of murder uh and you know it's a different circumstance if it's self

00:11:12.340 defense if someone is defending their shop or their business or their home there are laws that accommodate

00:11:18.500 that type of self-defense both in the common law and in states like florida we have a statutory castle

00:11:24.420 doctrine and a statutory stand your ground law two things i'm in support of give you the ability to

00:11:30.180 fight back but if you're out just itching for violence whether that's on the left or the right

00:11:36.340 we have no tolerance for that in america we should not allow that and i don't think that you know this

00:11:42.180 criticism of tucker is all that fair because i think tucker correctly identifies this as an act of murder

00:11:48.740 but also an act that should not have come to bear look if we had strong leadership in our states in our

00:11:55.460 communities we would not see this type of violence a you know with the ability to persist if i was a

00:12:02.260 governor or a mayor and someone was burning down a business or a monument if someone was terrorizing

00:12:11.300 a neighborhood we would be locking them up and cracking skulls if necessary because we will not

00:12:18.100 allow the law-abiding people of our country to feel like they cannot enjoy our country i think that's

00:12:23.860 the point tucker was making there should be no glorification of vigilante activity but government

00:12:29.860 should be acting in a in a far more you know effective way and government should be showing

00:12:36.580 a great deal more strength than it is in a lot of these places allowing the chaos to continue

00:12:44.820 i'm really looking forward to president trump's speech at the white house this evening what i could

00:12:50.180 tell you after my conversation with the president recently is that it is going to be a stem winder

00:12:56.100 he tells me that the speech writing team keeps telling him that he's got to trim it down and trim

00:13:01.060 it down because there's so much he wants to say there's such a bold and complete robust inspiring

00:13:07.460 vision for the country that he wants to share that literally they're telling him hey hey we gotta

00:13:12.180 you know maybe sand down a couple words or shorten a few paragraphs so in my experience with the president

00:13:18.180 uh he's going out there to say all he wants to say and i'm expecting a vibrant patriotic speech

00:13:25.220 and i can't wait to be there i'm going to be joining the president on the lawn it's going to be so

00:13:29.300 exciting thanks for listening i'm congressman matt gates we hope you tune in tomorrow for highlights

00:13:34.980 from the president's speech and more hot takes
