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

00:00:09.740 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 that noise you're hearing is me on the road i'm

00:00:21.740 in northwest florida surveilling some of the damage caused by hurricane sally a hurricane that had

00:00:27.680 sustained winds far further to the east than was originally expected i'll be meeting with

00:00:33.160 governor de santis the united states coast guard later today will be at the emergency operation

00:00:38.660 center in pensacola to ensure that all of the state federal and local assets are being brought to bear

00:00:45.860 we are still in a search and rescue mission right now but we also want to set a strong foundation

00:00:52.140 for the recovery and rebuild that will be absolutely necessary again i continue to get updates from

00:00:58.680 our state attorney general ashley moody our state chief financial officer jimmy patronus

00:01:03.860 and so we've got the whole team working but there's still some news so let's talk about it

00:01:08.860 we love having an attorney general that gives us hot takes name one successful organization or

00:01:17.680 institution where the lowest level employees decisions are deemed sacrosanct they aren't there

00:01:25.360 aren't any letting the most junior members set the agenda might be a good philosophy for a montessori

00:01:31.540 preschool but it is no way to run a federal agency putting a national lockdown stay-at-home orders is like

00:01:39.340 house arrest it's the it's the it's you know other than slavery which was a different kind of

00:01:44.740 restraint this is the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in american history whenever a politician

00:01:49.740 or public figure compares anything to certain events in human history they're always criticized

00:01:56.340 because there were you know some atrocities whether it be the holocaust whether it be slavery that were

00:02:03.480 just so egregious such a stain on humanity that they shouldn't be compared to the modern trials and

00:02:11.320 tribulations that we have to go through that's the critique that's been offered of bar but when

00:02:17.060 bar talks about you know the media as a collection of crooks and liars when he talks about uh the fact

00:02:24.740 that you've got folks at the department of justice that are doing political headhunting rather than

00:02:30.320 actually executing on the mission of the department i think that he's dead on

00:02:36.100 cnbc has the story yelp data shows 60 percent of business closures due to the coronavirus pandemic

00:02:46.580 are now permanent this is a decision that yelp released on wednesday following their research

00:02:54.100 from an economic impact report revealing business closures across the u.s are increasing as a result of

00:03:00.700 coronavirus so as of august 31 163 735 businesses have indicated on yelp that they've closed a 23

00:03:11.380 percent increase since mid-july and also according to the yelp data permanent closures have reached

00:03:18.200 97 966 representing 60 percent of businesses closed that won't be reopening and so these closures

00:03:27.940 it is life or death for these businesses and you know these businesses that are yelp businesses you

00:03:34.460 know you're looking at restaurants small bars uh places for folks to get together and the fact that

00:03:41.560 they won't be reopening i think creates an instability for families that can have negative health

00:03:48.160 consequences uh negative consequences for the prospects of people's future and so to to do so

00:03:54.260 you know in cases where look i mean only six percent of the deaths as a result of coronavirus

00:04:00.300 did not have a resulting comorbidity you've got to ask yourself whether or not history will be kind

00:04:07.880 to any of these lockdowns or shutdowns when the final analysis is made and you'll remember the revolver

00:04:14.300 news piece that went over the number of life years impacted showing that the lockdowns

00:04:19.960 depriving americans of 10 times more life years than the coronavirus would have taken from us

00:04:28.360 had it had it not also commingled with these lockdowns so you know very troubling to see this

00:04:35.600 impact on small business check out the cnbc piece see if it impacts your thinking on the utility and

00:04:42.640 validity of the lockdown strategy

00:04:44.480 miling yan has seen her twitter account suspended now you'll recall our discussion of her work as a

00:04:55.680 virologist and her claims that the chinese communist party did not unintentionally release this virus but 0.94

00:05:02.100 that it is in fact part of a strategy that its development is part of a strategy now i don't know if

00:05:07.160 dr yan is right or wrong i don't know if she's lying or not but i certainly think we should all

00:05:12.900 get to listen to her claims we ought to be able to analyze them in the context of the other evidence

00:05:18.520 for example the chinese communist party's lack of transparency and working with others to contain

00:05:24.080 the virus before it spread and impacted the globe but twitter and instagram which labeled an interview

00:05:31.120 that tucker carlson did with dr yan is misleading they think that they get to just decide who gets

00:05:38.160 to listen to who who's worthy of listening to who's not and they don't trust the american people the body

00:05:45.360 politic to make our own decisions engage in our own analysis they think that that's their societal

00:05:51.760 responsibility to just do it for us and convert us all into into cogs tucker carlson discussed this

00:05:58.000 dynamic on his program take a listen it's clear that dr li man yang is a serious person she is

00:06:03.440 making a very serious claim so within a few hours of our interview last night a video of the segment

00:06:09.360 reached 1.3 million people on facebook and why wouldn't it the coronavirus pandemic has touched the

00:06:14.720 life of every american and justifiably people want to know where it came from but facebook still

00:06:22.000 doesn't want you to know that so facebook suppressed the video presumably on behalf of the chinese

00:06:27.040 government facebook executives made it harder for users to watch our segment those who found the

00:06:32.000 video had to navigate a warning the interview quote repeats information about covet 19 that

00:06:37.600 independent fact checkers say is false instagram which facebook also owns did the same thing twitter

00:06:45.040 suspended dr yang's account entirely it did not explain why nor did the tech companies explain how they

00:06:51.040 would know more about disease transmission than an md phd virologist like dr li man yang instead facebook

00:06:58.880 and instagram linked to three so-called fact checks that supposedly proved yang was lying but if you clicked

00:07:05.520 on the provided links you noticed something odd the fact checks were all published months ago many months

00:07:12.080 in january february and march and they had nothing whatsoever to do with what dr li man yang said on

00:07:18.000 our show they were written before in fact anyone knew who she was a really sad story from harriet sherwood

00:07:27.360 at the guardian nearly two-thirds of u.s young adults unaware that six million jews were killed in the

00:07:35.040 holocaust almost two-thirds of young american adults do not know that six million jews were killed during

00:07:41.360 the holocaust and one in ten believed the jews caused the holocaust almost a quarter of the people that

00:07:48.400 responded to this survey twenty three percent say they believed the holocaust was a myth or was exaggerated

00:07:54.720 or they weren't sure and one in eight that's twelve percent said they had definitely not heard or didn't

00:08:00.880 think they had heard about the holocaust this is an abject failure of the american education system

00:08:07.600 we have to ensure that we study and understand and appreciate history so that it never happens

00:08:15.520 again i know in the state of florida we have holocaust education mandated as part of our state-based

00:08:22.160 curriculums and i would hope that in florida we would be beating these tragically bad national averages

00:08:29.760 i'm going to try to look into the data and see if they have those cross tabulations but at a

00:08:34.720 minimum we ought to be pursuing this type of education rigor in our history in our world history

00:08:43.600 and frankly we should probably be repeating it at different grades to ensure that the depth of

00:08:49.200 understanding grows over multiple years and it's not just something discussed one time so i am saddened

00:08:56.400 by the news but it should absolutely be a call to action now what i don't believe is that we should

00:09:02.880 federalize the education system you know we had a few department of education votes on the floor

00:09:07.520 of the house this week i voted against them and i did that you know in some instances because i just

00:09:14.080 don't think we should continue to get our states and our local school districts more addicted to the

00:09:20.640 federal dollar the federal grant the federal program that does federalize education i think that

00:09:26.800 this is primarily a state and local function as a state legislator i know i supported holocaust 0.84

00:09:33.360 education requirements for our state standards in florida and i would encourage other states to do the

00:09:38.320 same thanks for listening to hot takes especially under these unusual sound conditions i'm congressman matt gates

00:09:47.440 we'll be back tomorrow better sound with the same hot takes
