Summary
The New York Times hires a racist, but the right kind of racist, so she can stay. I'll show you details in a moment, but first let me say something difficult: I don't think it should be against the law to hire racist people or sexist people, or to hire people with odious views even those who say that police should be murdered.

Tonight, the New York Times hires a racist, but the right kind of racist so she can stay.
00:00:05.380
It's August 6th, and you're watching The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:14.020
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:17.780
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:21.520
You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.
00:00:24.500
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:00:35.120
The New York Times just hired the most prolific racist imaginable.
00:00:39.620
I'm serious. It's like they just hired the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.
00:00:44.840
Dozens, probably hundreds of hateful, racist, sexist comments published.
00:00:49.480
Just amazing, and they're standing by their decision.
00:00:52.120
I'll show you details in a moment, but first let me say something difficult.
00:00:56.240
I don't think it should be against the law to hire racist people or sexist people or to hire people with odious views,
00:01:03.320
even those who say that police should be murdered.
00:01:06.660
Obviously, there's a line. If someone is literally uttering a real death threat, that's a crime,
00:01:11.640
but we don't want to live in a country where you are not allowed to earn a living just because you're odious.
00:01:16.240
It's part of freedom, and it also goes to the definition of what is odious.
00:01:21.380
It's a matter of political opinion. Best let ordinary people decide in their own lives.
00:01:25.900
More than that, let people fly their real colors, not to hide who they really are.
00:01:29.280
Hopefully, the general standards of the community are healthy enough to marginalize a bad person.
00:01:42.860
She actually was born in Korea and moved to America.
00:01:46.720
And she was just hired to join the New York Times editorial board.
00:01:49.860
That is the political cockpit flying the whole plane.
00:01:53.220
That sets the tone, sets the agenda for the newspaper,
00:01:56.160
what editorial direction the newspaper will be on any given issue.
00:01:59.300
It's a very influential newspaper, of course, the New York Times.
00:02:02.420
Many other junior journalists in the country and around the world
00:02:18.060
Well, like I say, she's Korean from South Korea, of course.
00:02:21.280
North Korea is still a prison from which no one may escape.
00:02:24.600
Donald Trump is trying to fix that, but it's an ongoing process.
00:02:29.100
The northern half of the peninsula is simply a giant prison.
00:02:33.640
The South kept free of the cost of tens of thousands of deaths and lives
00:02:39.380
of American and Canadian soldiers and other allies, too.
00:02:45.940
It's an amazing city to behold out of the ashes.
00:02:50.060
A spectacular economic and political and scientific success.
00:03:02.700
But I say again, they are only free because the West, especially the United States, Canada,
00:03:07.260
too, Australia, New Zealand, too, but mainly America, paid in blood and treasure to keep
00:03:18.960
And in fact, it was just in the last week or so that the remains of some fallen U.S. soldiers
00:03:25.860
that had been kept by the dictatorship of the North for more than 60 years were finally
00:03:39.420
They're so successful in South Korea itself and in Canada and America, as most Asian immigrants
00:03:47.540
I know this is stereotyping, but it's positive stereotyping.
00:03:54.760
It's from the last census in the U.S. a couple of years ago.
00:04:05.460
Asians by far are the most successful, prosperous people in America.
00:04:13.420
And remember, that's in U.S. dollars, so tack on 25% or whatever for the exchange rate.
00:04:18.340
The average Asian American makes 100 grand a year.
00:04:22.020
That is 25% more than the average white American.
00:04:27.840
The average Asian American, I'm just quoting from the chart here, folks, makes literally
00:04:32.800
more than double what the average U.S. black makes.
00:04:41.540
Now, for now, I'm not interested in exploring why these differences are by race.
00:04:59.300
If she's hired by the New York Times, that's really a 1%er job.
00:05:02.840
I have no idea how much she's being paid, but it's got to be industry leading.
00:05:06.040
But wow, is she angry at America and Americans, and to be more precise, at white people and
00:05:16.980
at men and at white American men in uniform, the very kind of people who kept South Korea
00:05:26.580
Look at some of her comments she's made over the years.
00:05:39.760
When homeless people can beat cops senseless and suffer nary a repercussion, let's then
00:05:56.140
The problem is not the complexity of the internet or computers.
00:06:03.920
Cops will get you for anything, unless it's rape.
00:06:15.880
Cops were shit, even before broken windows policing.
00:06:41.360
I'm just swearing because I want to show you what she says about the police.
00:06:54.900
How can you kill all the men without a good vampy lipstick?
00:07:15.340
But hey, if it's good enough for the New York Times, it should be good enough for all of us.
00:07:22.180
Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants.
00:07:34.280
Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins?
00:07:56.340
It's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.
00:08:06.180
Yeah, cruel to old white men, like the white man who died to keep Korea free.
00:08:13.620
I dare you to get on Wikipedia and play things white people can definitely take credit for.
00:08:26.340
Koreans, blacks, gays, whatever, for that sentence.
00:08:39.640
Number three, you can threaten anyone on the internet except cops.
00:08:50.900
And I read a lot of the dates so you saw this wasn't just like one bad night.
00:09:06.040
I mean, it's bad enough to be this bigoted, but surely even a bigot has to be able to communicate
00:09:10.560
effectively and persuasively and smartly to work for the New York Times.
00:09:14.540
Surely they vetted her just a bit, read her work just a bit before hiring her.
00:09:20.140
Again, not for some obscure position in the paper, but for their flagship, the editorial
00:09:31.760
Seriously, here's the statement the New York Times put out when a few people, a few hundred
00:09:36.780
I'll skip to the best part in the middle there.
00:09:39.340
Her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject
00:09:46.500
For a period of time, she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her
00:09:58.160
She was just imitating that style because that's what you do.
00:10:03.100
You attack cops because someone was mean to you as a young Asian woman.
00:10:08.760
And you do that as an ironic joke for three years, hundreds of these over a vast period
00:10:21.020
Like, you know, people do impressions sometimes.
00:10:27.920
Earlier, I mentioned the 37,000 Americans who died keeping South Korea free.
00:10:32.900
Without whom Korea would not be a country and Sarah Jong would be in a prison camp, not in
00:10:40.880
Try insulting the cops if you live in North Korea.
00:10:44.100
Now, the U.S. government publishes the names of every single person who died in the Korean
00:10:55.820
This is the list of soldiers just from New York State who died keeping Sarah Jong's family
00:11:10.020
Clyde Anderson, Milton Anderson, Richard Anderson, Charles Andrews, George Andrews, Robert Andrews,
00:11:21.760
There's 2,373 of these New York families who lost a brother or a father or a son.
00:11:32.700
Family lines, in fact, that were snuffed out to let her family have a life.
00:11:42.420
Ralph, Baker, Roland, Baker, Sidney, Baker, Walter, Baker.
00:11:58.760
The New York Times is a disgrace for hiring her and a bigger disgrace for keeping her.
00:12:03.000
I tell you this, and I ask you to remember this.
00:12:05.020
Whenever the New York Times or CNN or their Canadian wannabes lecture you about racism
00:12:10.700
or sexism or mean tweets or anything else, when they scold you and name-call you and tell
00:12:16.360
you to shut up, when they call you angry, remember who they are.
00:12:25.060
Stay with us for more on this with Joel Pollack.
00:12:27.160
And joining us now to talk about Sarah Jong, what it means for the racism industry and
00:12:50.880
the credibility of the media party itself is our friend Joel Pollack, senior editor-at-large
00:12:58.700
You know, Joel, there's some funny things about this.
00:13:01.660
I mean, Sarah Jong, she, your colleague Alan Bokhari at Breitbart.com dug up a ton of funny
00:13:09.200
tweets where Sarah Jong attacks by name so many of her New York Times colleagues.
00:13:17.780
I mean, Nick Christophe, David Brooks, Tom Friedman.
00:13:22.320
And she says, you know, I hate the New York Times.
00:13:32.180
What's serious is her off-the-hook anti-police extremism, anti-white racism, and anti-male
00:13:41.040
Why would the New York Times stand firm with her?
00:13:44.580
Why wouldn't they say, oh, we didn't know about this.
00:13:53.980
To be charitable to her, she is a very good writer, as far as I know.
00:14:04.220
I did not notice her offensive tweets, mostly because I wasn't paying that close attention.
00:14:09.300
But when somebody says something interesting, you follow them.
00:14:13.080
And so I found some of what she was writing interesting and sometimes amusing.
00:14:19.260
So I was following her because I found her interesting and intelligent.
00:14:23.800
And that seems to be the consensus of most people who know her work outside of the context
00:14:29.420
So the New York Times may simply want someone with her knowledge on their editorial board.
00:14:37.740
However, they don't really extend the same courtesy to other people.
00:14:42.780
And I think what we're seeing is a pattern, not just at New York Times, but at other media
00:14:49.680
If you are a racist or a homophobic person, you have a certain degree of immunity.
00:14:57.420
First of all, if you have the right politics, and Sarah John was certainly on the left, anti-Trunk,
00:15:04.300
And you also enjoy immunity if you are part of a protected class yourself, particularly
00:15:17.160
They do not want to see to be victimizing her for her views, never mind that she victimized
00:15:24.840
They're just not as prepared to punish people by the same standard.
00:15:29.580
That's why Joy Reid, for example, is still at NBC, even though people have unearthed her
00:15:35.440
homophobic blogs and statements going back years and years and years.
00:15:42.300
In fact, I think there have been major journalistic figures booted from major news networks.
00:15:49.000
I think CNN kicked out Howard Kurtz because of something he was perceived to have said that
00:15:53.040
was homophobic, although I don't think it was in the end.
00:15:55.480
But, you know, this is not the kind of protection that other people enjoy.
00:16:01.840
And I have to say, I'm glad she's at the Times, because I think she brings out into the
00:16:07.480
open the kind of double standard that the Times would prefer to conceal.
00:16:11.080
And the next time you read a New York Times editorial, you now know that it was co-produced
00:16:17.200
by a known racist, an open racist, whom the Times defended and whose racism the Times justified
00:16:30.460
You know, so I think it actually helps those of us who would like the Times to be taken less
00:16:35.540
seriously to have someone like that on the editorial board.
00:16:38.220
Hmm. That's a good point. But I put it to you that while this has been a spectacle for
00:16:43.800
the insider political class, you and I, I would put in that category, people who follow the
00:16:48.680
stories of media personalities, I put it to you that 95 percent, maybe 99 percent of people
00:16:56.740
in Canada and the United States, when they read a news story, they don't look at the byline.
00:17:02.860
They just read it. And I think that knowing this once secret flaw of Sarah Jean, people
00:17:13.700
Well, we know the New York Times doesn't mean it.
00:17:15.420
But I think most people, they will not be aware of this and they will just be, instead
00:17:21.260
of her vomiting out these slurs, she will write this exquisitely well-written,
00:17:27.260
publishable version of her slurs. So she was anti-male, anti-white, anti-police. She's not
00:17:34.340
going to swear anymore. She'll write beautiful, beautiful pieces attacking men and police and
00:17:40.280
whites. And the readers won't know this backstory that you and I and the insiders know.
00:17:44.720
Well, that's why we have alternative outlets like yours and mine to remind them.
00:17:50.280
And I should also say that there are some people who work in the editorial department of the New
00:17:54.940
York Times, either on the editorial board or on the op-ed page, who have been absolutely
00:18:00.960
disgraceful in their conduct towards those of us who support Donald Trump or who were at least
00:18:07.700
willing to tolerate Donald Trump. Let's just be more inclusive in our description of their targets.
00:18:14.020
I mean, they attacked me, some of them, for working with individuals whom they perceived
00:18:20.560
to be bigoted in one way or another. I mean, they came after me because Milo once worked for
00:18:28.720
Breitbart. They can never do that again because now that they have accepted Sarah Jung, whose explicit
00:18:35.520
overt racism is not a matter of debate. It's out there for everyone to see. Now that they have done
00:18:40.800
that and they haven't resigned, these individuals, they can never do that again. The New York Times
00:18:46.240
can never launch that kind of offensive attack where they accuse others of racism, where they
00:18:51.920
accuse others of tolerating bigotry. They can never do that again. And if they try, they're going to get
00:18:58.440
hit with this every single time. It really blunts their offensive capability in the battle of ideas.
00:19:05.440
I think that they are going to have to get off their high horse and the people who are going to
00:19:10.820
knock them off if they don't are you and me. Well, you're right that the alternative media will hold
00:19:16.820
them to account. But, you know, and Breitbart especially, you guys are very big and strong and
00:19:22.960
we were, you know, we're growing in our own way. We're about to hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube
00:19:27.420
probably in the next two weeks. It's pretty exciting. But that is a tiny sliver of a fraction
00:19:32.480
of their reach. I'm not being pessimistic or self-effacing. I'm just saying they absolutely
00:19:40.240
will continue to use identity politics smears in the future and they will just steam ahead and
00:19:47.960
little toy boats like ours. They've got the mighty battleship. I'm not being condescending to
00:19:54.440
Breitbart. You guys are one of the mightiest, but it's still extremely frustrating, the hypocrisy.
00:19:59.280
What I say to people is, for yourself, know that you can never trust the mainstream media
00:20:04.800
again. Last point to you, Joel. Is there something about, I mean, I just did my monologue a moment
00:20:11.200
ago on this. I said of all the groups in America, you know, black Americans, at least their ancestors,
00:20:17.540
lived through slavery. That's a real thing. Jim Crow laws. That was a real thing.
00:20:24.440
It is a real fact that African Americans, to this day, have an economic disadvantage in America
00:20:31.100
for whatever reasons. But Korean Americans are at the top echelons of success, educationally,
00:20:40.000
economically. They are more successful than white Americans. I know I'm just tacking on a little
00:20:48.460
coda here. But to me, there's something especially gross about someone playing the race card who is
00:20:54.840
from a privileged background, economically, demographically successful, a country saved
00:21:01.820
with the blood of 37,000 Americans in the Korean War. To me, that's the chutzpah here. She's not hard
00:21:08.600
done by. If you have a hard-bitten black power activist who talks about, you know, what was Malcolm X's
00:21:15.020
slogan? X stands for X, X smoker, X drinker, X Christian, X slave. He's got a story to tell
00:21:21.320
that can justify his grievance. What the hell grievance does a, you know, does a one-percenter
00:21:26.720
young Korean woman have in America? I know I'm tacking this question on, but is there something
00:21:32.220
about the fact that she is not a victim in any measure that makes this even grosser?
00:21:36.860
Well, not only is she not a victim, but she's a naturalized U.S. citizen. And she seems to regard
00:21:46.200
a large chunk of her countrymen with disrespect. I mean, why would you want to join a country where
00:21:55.280
the majority of the population were these horrible people? Yeah. She actually did tweet something about
00:22:01.060
that, which I thought was not funny and just snarky and rude about the pros and cons of being
00:22:05.860
in the United States, being a United States citizen. You know, on the con side, there was
00:22:13.660
something bad about America. And on the pro side, there was, it's not next to North Korea.
00:22:17.420
I mean, I think she is what Ruth Weiss called the inverse of a hypocrite. She refuses to preach what
00:22:26.840
she practices in the sense that she actually probably likes the United States. She's probably in her
00:22:32.420
personal relations with other people, tolerant and enlightened and engaging. She certainly
00:22:37.400
can come across that way in some of her writing. But there's this mode of relating to
00:22:43.180
the idea of America or the idea of white people, whatever that is, that is encouraged on our campuses,
00:22:54.060
in our media, and in the liberal monoculture that is Silicon Valley. And I think she's playing to that
00:22:59.500
audience. I think she's trying to show her peers how smart she is. And this is the way they do it.
00:23:05.100
And I've heard other people do the same thing. People who are otherwise tolerant and intelligent
00:23:08.760
say absolutely racist, stereotyping things. And I think that this is a wake-up call for her. I'm not
00:23:18.280
sure she deserved to get this appointment, especially after she trashed the New York Times.
00:23:23.840
I think that it seems unjust and unfair for her to have these kinds of opportunities where other
00:23:29.500
people who don't slam their fellow Americans in the same way don't have these kinds of
00:23:34.440
opportunities. But again, it's the New York Times. I think it helps conservative critics of the Times.
00:23:39.700
And so I say good luck to her, good luck to the Times, and good luck to her.
00:23:43.340
Yeah. You know what? I learn something from you every time, Joel. She doesn't preach what
00:23:48.040
she practices in her life. She clearly loves America, came to America, is benefiting from
00:23:54.100
America, is a model citizen in many ways I would imagine in America. But to be in with the cool kids,
00:24:01.240
she's got to trash America and the very people who saved her country. It's so perverse. It's great to
00:24:07.900
talk to you, Joel. Thanks for spending so much time and letting me throw a few extra questions at you today.
00:24:11.900
Nice to see you. Yeah. All right. There you have it. Joel Pollack, one of the smartest guys around.
00:24:16.880
He's the senior editor-at-large at Breitbart.com. Stay with us. More ahead of The Rebel.
00:24:35.060
Welcome back. Well, last week, my own attention was on the United Kingdom, where our little company,
00:24:40.920
the rebel, although it's based here in Canada, was taking a leadership role in helping to free
00:24:46.400
Tommy Robinson, a political prisoner from the United Kingdom. And I don't say political prisoner
00:24:50.880
lightly. The Court of Appeal of the United Kingdom itself, throughout every single procedural flaw
00:24:58.240
that sent Tommy Robinson to prison. So that's where my attention was overseas.
00:25:02.760
But back here in Canada, the rebel was doing incredibly important ground-breaking work on one
00:25:11.240
of the top stories in this country that has been deliberately ignored, or worse, spun by the state
00:25:18.760
broadcaster. I'm talking about our own handling of mass Muslim migration, especially Trudeau's Syrian
00:25:27.760
refugees who came here in a flood in late 2015, 2016. Sheila Gunn-Reed has led the charge on,
00:25:36.680
we've set up a special website for it called refugeeinvestigation.com. Sheila joins us now via
00:25:43.940
Skype. Sheila, great to see you again. Hey, boss. Thanks for having me.
00:25:47.640
Well, congratulations on your story. I was rather distracted. I was overseas.
00:25:50.640
But you were just setting things on fire. Hundreds of thousands of views amongst all your videos
00:25:56.700
truly captured the attention of Canadians. I think it's because you're the first journalist
00:26:02.700
to report on this stuff. Why don't you tell us some of the facts of what you found about the hotels
00:26:07.640
in which Trudeau jammed these culturally misfit, linguistically misfit, hygienically misfit Syrian
00:26:17.940
migrants of his? Well, I tried to, because it was just so much information and there were so many
00:26:25.880
themes that were revealing itself as I went through all those documents. Initially, I started off just
00:26:32.420
detailing the physical damage that these migrants were doing to these hotels. And it wasn't accidental
00:26:41.300
stuff. It wasn't even stuff like holes in walls, although there was some of that. It was stuff like
00:26:46.840
starting fires in the rooms because they're drying their clothes. It was stuff like kids riding the
00:26:55.180
luggage racks around the hotel. It was urinating in the lobby, taking naps in the lobby. I mean,
00:27:06.260
it was just so much information that I had to break it down into a series of investigative reports
00:27:12.060
just so that I could communicate all of it to people. And by documents, you're referring to
00:27:18.220
confidential documents that we obtained from the government through access to information reports.
00:27:23.460
You know, some of the things like kids running around on a luggage rack, that's a ha ha. Kids
00:27:27.000
will be kids. But when you have mayhem in a hotel for weeks and months, the place is destroyed. I mean,
00:27:34.820
a kid running around on a luggage rack, I mean, that would be irritating. But, you know,
00:27:40.080
it's a little bit different when Bibles are destroyed. Now, is that just vandalism or is
00:27:47.460
that an ideological thing? Let me read some excerpts from some of the documents you've
00:27:52.420
been showing. Let me just start here. It's an email from one hotel manager.
00:27:57.720
Good morning. This is a challenging electronic message to write. However, it is essential to
00:28:02.000
inform you of the incidences that transpired here with this group. And he goes on.
00:28:07.060
Refugees are urinating in the lobby area, said one manager. Another manager, you know,
00:28:15.200
children are here. I mean, lots of peeing, lots of hygiene issues.
00:28:21.100
Yeah. Or just women. There's a lot of women who work in hotel housekeepers, front staff.
00:28:27.920
And you take in people from a misogynist rape culture. And that's not going to work. I mean,
00:28:33.280
here's just one line. I'm just, this is from an email on February, 2016. Parents are asked to stop
00:28:39.120
smoking only to blow smoke directly at the employees in disrespect. The men in particular do not like
00:28:44.920
to be asked by staff to stop and get very upset. And let me tell you one that was a little more
00:28:49.600
ominous. And I'm quoting here from one of your documents. And then I'd love for you to expand on
00:28:55.960
this. There was an issue with a housekeeper feeling intimidated by a male client. That's what
00:29:01.480
these Syrian migrants are called. She was washing the bathroom on her hands and knees.
00:29:06.040
And he was standing over her staring at her. The next day, a male housekeeper was sent to clean
00:29:11.480
that room. But he was denied entry as the client's wife was in the room. I don't know if there were
00:29:18.560
any sexual assaults or rapes in these hotels. It sounds like it weren't in your document. But I
00:29:24.520
can only imagine what it was like having uncovered Western style women doing service work in these
00:29:31.840
hotels. And these misogynist Sharia extremist migrants, either looking at them like a predator
00:29:40.060
would look at a lamb, or when a male was sent in, oh, you can't come in the room because my unveiled
00:29:47.460
Well, and we would never really know about the things that go unreported with the migrants
00:29:56.300
and the rest of the hotel guests. Because you have to remember, these hotels were also open
00:30:02.920
to regular paying customers who had no idea when they were walking in that they were walking into
00:30:09.140
a filthy, sexually charged migrant camp courtesy of the Canadian government.
00:30:14.780
Yeah. Well, that's what this is. This is a refugee camp, but they weren't real refugees.
00:30:19.340
These were people who had already been relocated to Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon. So they were no
00:30:23.840
longer refugees. It's a lie to call them that. And they weren't from Syria either. They were
00:30:28.620
originally from Syria, perhaps, but they had already been relocated. So to call them Syrian refugees,
00:30:32.880
both of those words are a lie. But you're right. This was some filthy refugee camp. But instead of
00:30:38.620
being in the region, which it probably should have been, it was jammed into hotels in cities like
00:30:43.500
Toronto. Well, yeah. And there is behaviors happening in the hotel that I don't care where
00:30:49.720
you're from. I don't care if somebody wants to say that things are different amongst cultures.
00:30:54.880
I uncovered serious child neglect happening in those hotels. Babies left in the rooms alone.
00:31:01.860
Children left in the rooms alone for hours. The housekeeping staff were just coming across
00:31:06.560
children being left in the rooms, kids out playing in traffic. And the hotel managers
00:31:12.780
were reporting this information to their contacts at the government and nothing ever seemed to come
00:31:18.560
of it. And I was really struck with the double standard because if Canadians were neglecting their
00:31:24.140
children that way, surely social services would become involved. And it appears the federal government
00:31:30.220
wasn't really doing anything about this. And a lot of it seemed like the bigotry of low expectations.
00:31:37.140
Yeah. You know, one hotel manager said the hotel is, quote, completely destroyed. Here's another quote.
00:31:44.440
The, you know, children are running through the hotel causing damage to pools and they've had to
00:31:48.440
shut down the pool twice for repair or cleaning. And that manager, this is a paraphrase, estimates the
00:31:53.740
damage to the hotel is over $5,000 again and again, 250 bucks, 500 bucks. And when they're told they have
00:32:00.600
to pay for it, they said, oh, no, no, no, the government will take care of that. There was, they were, they,
00:32:05.880
they were, they knew that their bad behavior would just be picked up by Justin Trudeau, aka Canadian
00:32:12.540
taxpayers. Right. And in other documents that I found in that pile, you can really see how they
00:32:19.600
appreciated or didn't appreciate at all Canadians' generosity. They were at one point stuffing the
00:32:27.620
donated clothes from Canadians who sort of rallied around these so-called Syrian migrants as they came
00:32:34.320
into the country and donated clothes and, and toiletries and things that they needed. And the
00:32:39.520
hotels were finding these things discarded in the laundry room for the hotels to throw out.
00:32:44.840
It's unbelievable. Part of me thinks if you take a family with children and just jam them in some
00:32:53.680
urban hotel, that's dumb to begin with. Kids need a yard to run around. They need something to do.
00:33:01.580
They need school maybe, but how do you send them to school if they don't speak a word of English?
00:33:06.580
Men need to work or they get crazy, I suppose. But how do you do that when they have no marketable
00:33:12.940
skills, no language skills? The idea that you scoop up migrants from the Middle East and put them in an
00:33:20.420
urban hotel in Toronto to stew. Now that does not excuse the rape culture. That does not excuse the
00:33:26.520
vandalism, the ripping up of Bibles, the peeing on the walls. It doesn't excuse any of it. But by the
00:33:32.840
same token, what the hell are you thinking when you take a hotel and you turn it into an urban refugee camp
00:33:40.400
with no cultural or linguistic support? It is awful. And we're going to do it. We're doing it again
00:33:47.060
right now. We're doing it again, aren't we? Trudeau's announced he's going to give free hotels to all these
00:33:53.860
American migrants coming up. Right. I call them Americans. They're foreigners in America who've been kicked out
00:33:59.680
by Trump and we're taking his rejects. Yeah. They're self-deporting into Canada. And the government over the
00:34:08.540
course of the last week or so, since Bill Blair became the minister of gangs and borders and
00:34:15.060
whatever else that he does, they've sat down and they've decided that the solution to the migrant
00:34:22.380
problem is to house them in hotels. Even after seeing what happened in 2015 and 2016, this is now the
00:34:32.920
permanent solution to the migrant problem as opposed to changing the law or fixing the loopholes.
00:34:38.520
This is what will be done going forward. Unbelievable. Well, I was so glad. I was overseas
00:34:44.360
and I was paying a little bit of attention to back home. I was so glad that you were leading the
00:34:47.980
charge, as you so often do. You've really done well with these access information requests over the
00:34:52.580
years. I remember you're the one who broke the story that Rachel Notley canceled all the water bomber
00:34:56.460
contracts just days before the Fort McMurray fire. Folks, if you want to see Sheila's reports,
00:35:03.040
we put them all together at refugeeinvestigation.com. Do I have that address right, Sheila?
00:35:09.580
Yes. It's refugeeinvestigation.com. And you'll see the entire series of the investigations that I've
00:35:16.540
done into this story. Well, that is so important. And thank you for that work. And folks, as you know,
00:35:21.360
access to information requests cost money, filing fees. We have a staffer who does nothing but file
00:35:26.940
those things. So there's a staff cost too, working in close contact with Sheila and our other
00:35:32.700
reporters. So if you want to help chip in for our independent journalism, I guarantee you that you
00:35:39.380
will see nothing about this on the CBC. Sheila, great to see you. Keep up the great work.
00:35:44.500
I will. Thank you, boss. All right. There you have it. Sheila Gunn-Reed telling the stories the other
00:35:48.780
media refused to tell. She was the only one who covered the mass sexual assault trial from the
00:35:54.640
West Edmonton Mall swimming pool. She covered it clearly and sympathetically towards the victims.
00:35:59.900
The rest of the media either ignored it or covered it sympathetically to the accused, who, by the way,
00:36:05.280
in a shocking turn, was acquitted by the judge. I won't get into that now. Sheila, of course,
00:36:11.040
doing yeoman's work here at refugeeinvestigation.com. Stay with us. More ahead on The Rebel.
00:36:48.760
I mean, I'm a bit of a sucker for Korean people, I guess. I just, I worked with the Ontario Korean
00:36:55.120
Businessmen's Association for a year. Maybe that's why. I mean, in Toronto here especially,
00:37:01.520
the hardest working people, the corner store, there's a whole Korean corner store association,
00:37:05.360
thousands of them, on their feet all day, law-abiding, tax-paying. How can you not love Koreans?
00:37:12.360
Okay. I just showed you, I'm a fan. But the gratitude also for our country and for the fact
00:37:20.600
that, I mean, Canada was in the Korean War too, you know, wasn't just America. And for this daughter
00:37:25.980
of freedom, saved by 37,000 American lives, to come to America. She was an immigrant here,
00:37:32.900
she wasn't even born here. And then to despise it and disparage it like that. What is going on? But
00:37:38.880
that's the cool kids. I think Joel Pollack was spot on where he said, she actually doesn't live
00:37:43.500
that way. She actually looks like she's living a great American life. But she feels the need,
00:37:48.980
obviously, to badmouth the country that saved her family and adopted her just to be one of the cool
00:37:54.600
kids of the New York Times. In fact, I would say that the fact that she hates America so volubly,
00:38:01.180
or at least white men in uniforms, probably helped her get the job of the New York Times, don't you
00:38:07.980
think? That's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
