The head of the Board of Governors at the University of British Columbia has been fired for liking a far-right tweet about the Black Lives Matter movement. What does that have to do with racism? And why does it matter that he liked it?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today I tell you a terrible story about a great man. And I say that, I've never met him, never heard of him until yesterday.
00:00:06.880 Philanthropist, public service, captain of industry, giving something back. His most valuable thing, his time.
00:00:14.440 Chairing the Board of Governors at the University of British Columbia, the most racially diverse university in Canada.
00:00:19.640 Actually, I wouldn't even call it diverse. It's two-thirds Asian. So I suppose it's not even that diverse.
00:00:24.740 But he was drummed out of his job because, get this, he liked a Donald Trump tweet. I swear to God, that's the truth.
00:00:33.920 I'll have all the details for you up ahead, including showing you the tweets themselves.
00:00:41.560 Hey, before I do, I want to invite you to subscribe to our premium content. We call it Rebel News Plus. Just go to rebelnews.com.
00:00:49.560 It's eight bucks a month. What a bargain. And the reason it's a good idea, besides the fact that it makes us eight bucks a month, which is how we pay the bills, is because you can see things.
00:00:59.060 You get the video version of this podcast. I want to show you the tweets with your eyes.
00:01:04.000 So you say, oh my God, he was fired for this? I mean, I'll read it to you on the podcast, but I want to show it to you.
00:01:10.980 All right, here it is.
00:01:12.220 Tonight, the chairman of the University of British Columbia is fired for liking a tweet by the U.S. president.
00:01:33.720 It's June 22nd, and this is The Ezra LeVance Show.
00:01:36.480 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:42.260 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:46.340 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:57.140 Look at this headline by the CBC.
00:01:59.580 Head of UBC, Board of Governors, resigns after liking racist, far-right comments on Twitter.
00:02:09.680 So he didn't write them. He just liked them. He just clicked like.
00:02:13.780 But they were racist and also far-right, according to the CBC.
00:02:18.880 I think I know what racist means. It means judging people by their skin color rather than on the content of their character or their merit.
00:02:25.740 Or using really derogatory words about different races, like Wendy Mesley apparently did.
00:02:32.240 I mean, calling a black person the N-word, like Wendy Mesley did. Definitely racist.
00:02:37.760 Did the head of the University of British Columbia do that?
00:02:41.060 It's hard to imagine that he would. I mean, UBC is about two-thirds visible minority these days.
00:02:47.420 In fact, only about one out of six students there is a white male, according to the Vancouver Sun.
00:02:52.300 And hard to believe that the board chair of such a school would say something racist or even like it.
00:02:59.300 I'm skeptical.
00:03:01.280 And far-right? Well, to the CBC, that just means voting for any party other than the Liberals or the NDP.
00:03:07.580 So that's quite possible.
00:03:10.140 Let's read some more from this anonymous article.
00:03:12.860 I note there's no reporter's name on it.
00:03:15.560 That's a lack of accountability right there, isn't it?
00:03:18.200 But look at this. Another detail in the sub-headline.
00:03:20.940 Oh, hmm. Well, now the story's already changing, isn't it?
00:03:32.680 The blazing headlines was that he liked something racist, like if Wendy Mesley had tweeted the N-word
00:03:38.800 and then this UBC chair had liked that, maybe saying, write on Wendy or something. You tell him.
00:03:44.140 But now it looks like he just liked a tweet that didn't support the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:03:52.060 Now, that's different. First of all, most Black Lives Matter activists are white, especially up here in Canada.
00:03:57.380 Here's footage from a Toronto protest outside police headquarters. Pretty white.
00:04:04.180 They were protesting a black rights cause.
00:04:07.520 Just so you know, the police chief in Toronto himself is black and all these protesters are white.
00:04:15.620 And if you think there's some historic reckoning that needs to happen in Toronto,
00:04:18.700 I'm pleased to let you know that Upper Canada abolished the slave trade back in 1793.
00:04:23.380 Not that it was a big deal up here to begin with.
00:04:27.200 There were literally only 16 black people in all of Toronto back then.
00:04:32.220 Not 16,000 or 1,600, just 16.
00:04:36.760 That was 227 years ago.
00:04:38.460 And you know, the British Empire literally bought the freedom of every slave in this jurisdiction,
00:04:42.180 banned slavery, bought the freedom of every one of them.
00:04:44.820 So that's why we have white protesters outside a black police chief's office.
00:04:49.900 And so you see where I'm going with this.
00:04:52.820 Disparaging the Black Lives Matter movement in this case actually means mocking some rich white liberal kids
00:04:59.000 and standing up for a working class policeman who's black.
00:05:05.260 I don't think that's racism. Do you?
00:05:07.240 We haven't even got past the headlines and the story is already changing, isn't it?
00:05:11.340 Typical CBC fake news.
00:05:12.920 So here we go.
00:05:14.580 The chair of the University of British Columbia's Board of Governors has resigned
00:05:17.820 after liking racist and conspiracy theory posts on Twitter,
00:05:23.140 including tweets disparaging the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:05:26.680 Oh, there was a conspiracy theory too?
00:05:29.100 What, like the one that the CBC pushed for three years,
00:05:32.340 that Russia rigged the U.S. election that was finally debunked by Robert Mueller
00:05:36.720 after an exhaustive investigation?
00:05:38.740 What conspiracy theory do they mean?
00:05:40.240 I look forward to finding out.
00:05:42.860 Michael Korenberg's resignation comes after UBC's Students Against Bigotry
00:05:47.240 posted recent photos of his Twitter account that showed tweets he liked,
00:05:51.460 including praise for U.S. President Donald Trump,
00:05:54.780 references to protesters as violent looters,
00:05:57.880 and a conspiracy theory that compared the Black Lives Matter protests
00:06:02.740 to Adolf Hitler's paramilitary tactics.
00:06:07.140 Huh, okay, so the story's changed again, hasn't it?
00:06:11.680 He tweeted praise for Trump.
00:06:14.120 Actually, stop.
00:06:15.000 He liked a tweet by someone else that praised Trump.
00:06:19.360 So which part is that?
00:06:21.600 Is that the racist part or the far right part?
00:06:23.720 Because Trump is the President of the United States,
00:06:26.380 and about 50% of Americans support him,
00:06:28.340 and he's democratically and constitutionally elected.
00:06:31.640 How on earth does that make him far right?
00:06:34.320 Or is that the racist part?
00:06:36.160 Should I ask Wendy Mesley what's racist and what's not?
00:06:39.700 And here we learn the conspiracy theory part,
00:06:42.180 comparing Black Lives Matter riots to Hitler's paramilitary tactics.
00:06:47.180 I'm not sure how that's a conspiracy theory.
00:06:50.680 That's a comparison.
00:06:51.800 You can agree with the comparison or disagree with it.
00:06:53.980 I'd like to see the tweet myself.
00:06:55.520 I don't trust a word the CBC says.
00:06:57.460 But how is a comparison of two things a conspiracy theory?
00:07:03.080 Did Michael Kornberg say that Black Lives Matter
00:07:05.540 was working with Hitler or something?
00:07:07.820 That would be quite something.
00:07:09.140 I guess we'll find out soon in the story.
00:07:10.700 In a statement Saturday night,
00:07:13.420 the university said Kornberg would be stepping down
00:07:15.420 from his position on the Board of Governors immediately.
00:07:18.440 The Board of Governors and Mr. Kornberg would like to recognize
00:07:20.680 that this has been deeply hurtful to members of our community
00:07:23.860 and that UBC has zero tolerance for racism
00:07:26.440 and recognizes that real harm is created
00:07:28.660 from both overt and structural racism.
00:07:31.180 The statement said,
00:07:32.380 did this guy, Kornberg,
00:07:33.580 probably not one in a hundred UBC students could name him,
00:07:37.080 not one in a thousand would care about him,
00:07:39.040 did he really deeply hurt UBC students?
00:07:42.820 Did he create real harm by liking a tweet?
00:07:46.680 Really?
00:07:47.280 I'd like to meet a student
00:07:48.680 who said they were deeply harmed by that.
00:07:50.860 I'm going to go out on a limb here.
00:07:52.780 That student who is complaining isn't Black.
00:07:56.380 There are very few Black students at UBC.
00:07:58.580 I'm going to guess he isn't Asian.
00:08:00.700 There are very many Asian students at UBC.
00:08:03.420 But I bet that this is an angry white leftist.
00:08:06.980 But really, it's seeped into the administration of UBC now, too.
00:08:10.920 If they're talking about overt and structural racism,
00:08:13.480 what on earth are they even talking about?
00:08:15.760 I mean, the school is majority-minority.
00:08:18.640 No one knows what they're talking about.
00:08:19.940 Not even the CBC, I don't think.
00:08:21.680 But that's okay.
00:08:22.340 Anyway, this chair of the board liked a Trump tweet,
00:08:26.480 so he's racist and has to go.
00:08:30.060 In a statement on the board's website,
00:08:31.700 Kornberg said he thoughtlessly supported regressive voices
00:08:37.320 that attempted to discredit broad-based legal and necessary protest.
00:08:43.980 He did all that?
00:08:48.880 See, here's where my sympathy for the man evaporates, I'm afraid.
00:08:52.160 They sacked you.
00:08:54.060 You're a titan of industry.
00:08:55.140 You're a man who's given thousands of hours to community service.
00:08:58.140 You're not the chair of the board of governors of UBC for the thrill of it,
00:09:01.300 for the profit of it, for the fun of it.
00:09:03.780 You're doing it to help.
00:09:05.500 The university's a charity, of course.
00:09:07.460 The chief job of the board is to run it effectively
00:09:09.860 and raise as much money as possible.
00:09:12.220 And you let some Antifa thug run you out of town
00:09:16.640 because you liked a Trump tweet?
00:09:20.580 There are 82.3 million people who follow Donald Trump on Twitter.
00:09:24.220 Not sure how many retweet him or like his stuff.
00:09:27.620 I think it's a lot.
00:09:30.440 If you fire everyone who does that,
00:09:33.020 you might even have to fire Justin Trudeau,
00:09:34.700 who has tweeted or retweeted Trump more than 20 times.
00:09:39.860 Listen to this grovel.
00:09:41.060 Listen to this man pandering to the stupidest,
00:09:44.620 most malicious people on campus.
00:09:46.540 And by that, I'm not sure if I mean the far-left agitators
00:09:49.980 who said they were deeply hurt
00:09:51.720 or the other officials of the university administration
00:09:54.820 who thought this was such an emergency.
00:09:57.460 They literally fired the chair on a Saturday night.
00:10:00.880 It was so urgent.
00:10:01.840 Here's what he said, though.
00:10:03.640 As a result, my interactions have been interpreted
00:10:06.040 in a manner that creates questions about who I am.
00:10:09.860 And what I believe in, the statement said.
00:10:13.040 Yeah, mate, you can't help how dishonest
00:10:15.920 and malevolent people interpret what you say.
00:10:19.060 You can't control what they think of you,
00:10:21.860 let alone what you don't say,
00:10:23.860 what you just click like on.
00:10:26.020 They're always going to interpret things
00:10:28.240 in the craziest, most negative way.
00:10:30.780 It's up to you to be a leader,
00:10:34.340 to be a grown-up and say,
00:10:35.980 there, there, little one.
00:10:37.240 Change your diapers and calm down.
00:10:39.060 You're in university now.
00:10:40.460 You might actually encounter an idea
00:10:42.100 that's different from your own from time to time.
00:10:45.020 You might want to learn how to handle that in life.
00:10:48.720 But alas, he didn't quite say that.
00:10:50.640 I wholeheartedly apologize for them,
00:10:54.860 particularly to the students, faculty, and staff of UBC.
00:10:58.480 Really?
00:10:59.640 I don't believe it's a wholehearted apology.
00:11:01.660 I just don't believe that a man of that character
00:11:03.700 and accomplishment and honesty
00:11:05.980 and a lifetime of public service
00:11:07.960 truly believes in his whole heart
00:11:10.500 that he did something wrong
00:11:11.520 by liking a tweet
00:11:13.120 by the President of the United States.
00:11:15.020 I don't believe that it's a wholehearted apology.
00:11:16.920 This is probably the first lie he's told.
00:11:21.440 Here's more from the CBC.
00:11:22.900 In his statement Saturday,
00:11:23.940 Kornberg said he is committed to erasing racism,
00:11:27.380 hate, and discrimination from society.
00:11:30.500 Well, not discrimination and hate
00:11:33.040 against people who have a conservative point of view, apparently.
00:11:35.700 Imagine if you were a mere professor
00:11:37.600 or even a lowly student at UBC
00:11:40.020 if the board of governor's chair himself
00:11:42.600 has to grovel and scrape
00:11:44.220 like a capitalist boss in China.
00:11:46.920 In a struggle session under Mao Zedong.
00:11:50.260 Imagine what they'll do to you.
00:11:52.660 On Twitter, he said he supports Black Lives Matter
00:11:55.760 and that he hurt people
00:11:57.820 in liking certain posts on social media.
00:12:00.280 Hey, do you really think he supports Black Lives Matter?
00:12:03.500 I mean, the protest movement of radicals and rioters.
00:12:06.900 I'm sure he supports Black people and their lives
00:12:09.380 and he thinks that they matter.
00:12:11.220 But I'm talking about the political group with that name.
00:12:13.600 Do you really think he supports it?
00:12:15.420 I don't understand why he's making this self-denunciation
00:12:18.100 if he's already been fired.
00:12:20.200 Does he think this will get him his job back?
00:12:23.300 Why on earth would he even want his job back?
00:12:27.040 He acknowledged racism exists in Canada
00:12:29.780 and that he wants to be part of the solution,
00:12:32.760 but did not say how he would contribute to doing this
00:12:35.340 what his next steps would be?
00:12:37.560 Now, here's the important part.
00:12:40.220 I've read everything in this story about Kornberg himself,
00:12:43.820 other than a few more lines of his groveling apology
00:12:46.240 and some boilerplate comments
00:12:48.520 from other UBC administration officials.
00:12:51.580 You can see I read some stand-up parts of the story to you.
00:12:54.880 The only tweet that they show in the news story
00:12:57.580 is Kornberg's groveling apology.
00:12:59.580 So where's the racist part again?
00:13:03.440 Where's the far-right part?
00:13:05.300 Where's the conspiracy theories I was promised?
00:13:08.980 I see the smear against him.
00:13:11.060 Nice going smearing a Jewish philanthropist
00:13:13.300 as a white supremacist far-right racist.
00:13:15.980 No wonder the CBC hid the identity
00:13:17.920 of whoever wrote this story.
00:13:19.800 Maybe Wendy Mesley wrote it.
00:13:21.260 I mean, if you call a black man the N-word,
00:13:23.940 you probably won't have any compunction
00:13:25.740 calling a Jewish man another N-word, Nazi.
00:13:28.580 The CBC really is the lowest, isn't it?
00:13:31.200 But I'm genuinely curious.
00:13:33.000 He was sacked.
00:13:34.720 He humiliated himself.
00:13:37.140 And apparently he deeply hurt a lot of people,
00:13:39.940 even though not a single one of these people was named.
00:13:44.600 So what did he really do?
00:13:46.360 As in, what are these tweets that he liked?
00:13:48.680 Isn't that central to the story here?
00:13:51.020 How could that possibly be left out of this story?
00:13:54.360 It was the headline, wasn't it?
00:13:55.680 Unless, stay with me here,
00:14:00.520 unless it's a lie,
00:14:03.820 unless it's fake news,
00:14:05.820 unless it wasn't really racist and far-right
00:14:09.140 and Nazi conspiracy theory stuff,
00:14:11.980 the CBC wouldn't lie, would it?
00:14:14.820 I mean, they wouldn't lie, would they?
00:14:16.460 Well, the CBC referenced a censorship committee at UBC
00:14:21.500 called UBC Students Against Bigotry.
00:14:24.780 I don't actually think they're against bigotry.
00:14:27.200 I'm not sure if they're actually students either.
00:14:29.560 I think they're probably more accurately called
00:14:31.320 professional protesters for cancel culture and de-platforming.
00:14:35.160 But the CBC says they're the source of things
00:14:37.780 on their Twitter account.
00:14:39.600 So I went to their Twitter account
00:14:42.500 to find what I couldn't on the CBC page.
00:14:45.380 Here's the first one I saw.
00:14:47.340 Does Michael Korenberg support the white supremacist
00:14:50.640 in the White House and his call for violence?
00:14:54.300 Oh, is that it?
00:14:55.460 Seriously, that's the white supremacist tweet
00:14:57.380 we're talking about here.
00:14:58.380 I thought it was some legit KKK tweet
00:15:01.560 or even a Nazi tweet.
00:15:03.120 I don't even know if those are allowed to exist
00:15:05.680 on Twitter, frankly.
00:15:06.800 That's the racist thing we're talking about, a Trump tweet?
00:15:10.200 Oh, my God.
00:15:12.220 Now, there are three images in that tweet.
00:15:14.240 You see them?
00:15:15.180 The first is a picture of Korenberg, all right?
00:15:18.220 The second is a criticism of Obama
00:15:21.160 for criticizing Trump.
00:15:24.180 So it's just partisan bickering, really.
00:15:27.240 And then the third is just a White House tweet
00:15:29.100 complaining that liberals criticized Trump a lot.
00:15:32.480 And that's, I swear to God, that's it.
00:15:35.540 That's the racist, far-right, white supremacist
00:15:39.360 conspiracy theories?
00:15:41.980 Well, there are a few more tweets.
00:15:43.100 I'll show them to you quickly.
00:15:44.860 It's all the same.
00:15:47.120 Here's the next one.
00:15:49.080 I think you will find Trump was justified
00:15:52.000 in his actions against Antifa
00:15:55.800 after you watched this video.
00:15:57.400 So it's an opinion about riots.
00:16:00.800 It doesn't mention Black Lives Matter, actually.
00:16:03.240 None of the images do yet, do they?
00:16:06.420 And this one from Trump's son
00:16:08.140 retweeting a video that you can't see here.
00:16:11.900 Trump Jr. says,
00:16:13.120 thankful these business owners
00:16:14.860 have a Second Amendment
00:16:15.860 so they can protect themselves and their businesses
00:16:17.440 from these violent looters.
00:16:18.720 You can't see the video there.
00:16:20.680 But, you know, I know that video
00:16:22.020 because, believe it or not,
00:16:24.280 I know this sounds crazy,
00:16:25.780 but it was actually me
00:16:26.500 who popularized that video.
00:16:27.720 In my 10 years on Twitter wasting time,
00:16:30.820 I've tweeted 140,000 little comments in 10 years.
00:16:34.240 What a waste of time.
00:16:35.380 But I remember that one
00:16:36.380 because that was the most watched,
00:16:38.980 most retweeted thing I've ever said.
00:16:42.640 More than 3.7 million people saw my tweet.
00:16:46.260 Staggering.
00:16:46.880 Because take a look at the video
00:16:48.800 that for some reason,
00:16:50.900 neither the UBC fascists,
00:16:52.800 nor the CBC fascists,
00:16:53.720 nor this UBC censorship group actually showed.
00:16:57.560 I'll show it to you as I tweeted it
00:16:59.440 with my caption
00:17:00.780 that was then picked up and shared so widely
00:17:03.120 it made its way up to Donald Trump Jr.
00:17:05.840 So this is the video.
00:17:08.040 Lawful black firearms owners
00:17:09.700 standing guard outside their businesses.
00:17:11.480 And look.
00:17:12.240 They said run up in here and see what happened.
00:17:14.600 I'm fair out here with them blacks on them.
00:17:17.060 Blacks on them.
00:17:17.840 Run up in this.
00:17:18.360 Black on.
00:17:19.040 Nigga, you see that?
00:17:19.740 Black on.
00:17:20.260 Run up in this bitch.
00:17:21.260 Oh, my mama, we gonna...
00:17:22.100 Yeah, is that the white supremacist part
00:17:24.440 or the Nazi street gang part?
00:17:26.540 Because I saw Trump Jr.
00:17:29.780 quoting a Hispanic candidate
00:17:31.420 cheering on black businessmen
00:17:33.480 who were protecting their stores
00:17:34.860 with lawful firearms.
00:17:36.360 What's the racist part of that again?
00:17:38.640 Or this?
00:17:39.860 Trump calling for law and order.
00:17:42.560 Here's the female chair of the Republicans
00:17:44.820 criticizing the white mayor of Seattle
00:17:47.440 for allowing Antifa to run wild.
00:17:49.920 Is law and order inherently racist?
00:17:52.460 And say, by the way,
00:17:53.340 have you noticed the word black
00:17:54.900 hasn't appeared yet anywhere?
00:17:57.920 Why is this UBC censorship committee
00:17:59.820 assuming the riots and looting
00:18:02.420 are being done by black people?
00:18:05.740 Talk about racists.
00:18:07.820 They have more,
00:18:08.440 but I promise you,
00:18:09.380 it's all just blue chip Republicans,
00:18:11.280 the president, the White House,
00:18:12.760 the head of the Republican Party,
00:18:14.400 Senator Lindsey Graham.
00:18:16.600 That's it.
00:18:17.660 Here's the Republican Party,
00:18:19.620 Republican officials,
00:18:20.700 Mike Pence,
00:18:21.960 Team Trump,
00:18:22.940 Donald Jr.,
00:18:23.960 even the racist-in-chief himself,
00:18:26.300 sometimes several tweets a day.
00:18:27.920 Pictured here are just a few of them.
00:18:31.100 Is MAGA Mike Kornberg
00:18:32.660 the reason why far-right extremists
00:18:35.020 run rampant at UBC?
00:18:37.040 Hey, I got a question for you.
00:18:38.540 Do you really think far-right extremists
00:18:41.540 run rampant at the UBC?
00:18:43.740 See, that's news to me.
00:18:45.660 I wish I had known before
00:18:47.380 I would have gone there
00:18:48.300 instead of the liberal law school
00:18:49.920 I went to at University of Alberta.
00:18:51.440 Of course, it's a lie
00:18:52.480 that the CBC regurgitates.
00:18:54.540 I'll show you the tweets
00:18:55.900 this censorship committee
00:18:56.960 thinks are racist.
00:19:00.220 A tweet mocking Joe Biden
00:19:01.800 over his Monday morning
00:19:02.980 quarterbacking about the pandemic.
00:19:06.240 This tweet of a Democrat
00:19:07.560 trying to put on a mask.
00:19:08.560 You can't see the video here again.
00:19:10.560 I recognize this one again
00:19:11.680 because it was so funny.
00:19:12.520 Can I show it to you?
00:19:14.020 Here's how it actually looks.
00:19:25.360 I have to tell you,
00:19:26.380 you need a heart of stone
00:19:27.420 not to laugh at that.
00:19:29.220 Where's the racism part?
00:19:30.860 Is it that he's wearing
00:19:31.700 an African kente cloth?
00:19:33.720 Yeah, well, he's a Democrat.
00:19:35.120 Take it up with him.
00:19:36.760 This one,
00:19:37.700 where Trump thanks George P. Bush,
00:19:39.700 well, he happens to be Hispanic.
00:19:43.200 And this one is just about
00:19:44.860 Republican fundraising.
00:19:46.340 I'm showing you exactly
00:19:47.460 what these tweets are
00:19:49.180 that he liked.
00:19:50.780 I'm literally going through
00:19:51.940 the entire case
00:19:53.060 against Kornberg
00:19:54.520 that these UBC censors had.
00:19:56.900 I haven't left anything out,
00:19:58.160 I swear.
00:19:58.500 I've shown you 100%
00:19:59.440 of the images
00:20:00.120 in their tweets so far.
00:20:01.380 In fact, I've shown you
00:20:02.120 more than they showed you
00:20:03.660 because I remember
00:20:04.760 what those two videos were,
00:20:06.240 and I think these censors
00:20:07.360 were being deceptive.
00:20:08.800 In the first case,
00:20:09.520 it was actually
00:20:10.120 Trump Jr. praising
00:20:11.560 black businessmen.
00:20:12.720 In the second,
00:20:13.300 the goofy guy
00:20:13.900 culturally appropriating
00:20:15.200 that Kente cloth
00:20:16.100 was a Democrat.
00:20:16.960 I'm not going to show you
00:20:17.740 all of the rest.
00:20:19.260 They're really just as boring.
00:20:22.820 Did Kornberg not even
00:20:24.120 look through the case
00:20:25.200 against him
00:20:25.860 before confessing
00:20:27.180 to being a bad, bad man?
00:20:28.840 Did he not even look
00:20:29.620 at the charges
00:20:30.260 he was pleading guilty to?
00:20:31.760 He said he honestly
00:20:32.840 didn't know
00:20:33.740 his Twitter account
00:20:34.440 was even public.
00:20:35.140 I believe that.
00:20:36.040 He's a boomer.
00:20:36.620 He's not a millennial.
00:20:37.720 He probably thought
00:20:38.380 it was private.
00:20:39.020 I believe that,
00:20:39.840 but still.
00:20:41.240 So what?
00:20:42.960 You like to tweet
00:20:43.860 where the head
00:20:44.380 of the Republican
00:20:44.940 National Committee
00:20:45.780 boasts about fundraising.
00:20:48.180 So you have to
00:20:49.720 quit your job?
00:20:51.000 Where's the far right part?
00:20:52.160 I'm still waiting for that.
00:20:53.260 Where's the racist part?
00:20:54.360 Where's the Black Lives Matter part?
00:20:56.020 I read every single tweet
00:20:57.520 in the evidence
00:20:58.280 against Kornberg.
00:20:59.620 The word black
00:21:00.860 doesn't even appear,
00:21:02.680 let alone Black Lives Matter.
00:21:06.320 This did appear, though.
00:21:09.040 It's from Mike Pence,
00:21:10.220 the vice president.
00:21:11.140 He says,
00:21:12.000 From the earliest days
00:21:13.340 of our administration,
00:21:14.460 President Trump
00:21:15.220 has fought tirelessly
00:21:16.440 to protect our nation's
00:21:17.960 most vulnerable.
00:21:19.140 Today, we strengthened
00:21:19.920 our commitment
00:21:20.520 to fighting for America's seniors
00:21:22.100 as we continue
00:21:23.300 our whole-of-America
00:21:24.840 response to the coronavirus.
00:21:26.020 So that's how
00:21:28.820 the censorship committee
00:21:29.860 showed it.
00:21:31.200 Here's the original.
00:21:32.620 Let me zoom in
00:21:33.280 on that last picture there.
00:21:35.020 So you can see
00:21:35.620 there's seven people
00:21:36.700 at the cabinet table
00:21:37.700 in addition to the president
00:21:39.160 and the vice president.
00:21:40.520 Two are women
00:21:41.440 and two are black,
00:21:44.040 including Ben Carson,
00:21:45.660 the Secretary of Housing
00:21:46.560 and Urban Development.
00:21:48.480 So is this the racist part
00:21:50.700 or the conspiracy theory part?
00:21:52.420 I'm not sure
00:21:53.640 if the CBC
00:21:54.420 that abided
00:21:55.860 in N-word-dropping
00:21:57.060 anti-black bigot
00:21:58.140 like Wendy Mesley,
00:21:59.040 you know,
00:21:59.560 they didn't fire her
00:22:00.400 for saying the N-word.
00:22:01.620 They only fired her
00:22:02.400 when word leaked out
00:22:03.460 to the media
00:22:03.940 that she had done so.
00:22:05.000 I'm not sure
00:22:05.440 if I'm ready
00:22:05.960 to take lectures
00:22:06.740 on racism
00:22:07.740 from the network
00:22:09.100 of Wendy N-word Mesley.
00:22:12.600 But this isn't
00:22:13.500 just fake news.
00:22:14.300 This is defamation.
00:22:15.380 This is pure lying.
00:22:17.440 This is an out-of-control
00:22:18.680 state broadcaster
00:22:19.800 doing a smear job
00:22:21.440 on a leading
00:22:21.920 public citizen.
00:22:22.900 If only Michael Coren
00:22:24.200 weren't such a coward.
00:22:26.220 If only he had said,
00:22:27.360 no, sorry,
00:22:28.780 I'm not racist.
00:22:30.540 No, sir,
00:22:30.900 I didn't even mention
00:22:32.100 Black Lives Matter
00:22:33.000 or Nazis
00:22:33.860 or conspiracies.
00:22:35.800 You did all that.
00:22:38.320 If only he told them
00:22:39.640 to go to hell.
00:22:42.000 Instead,
00:22:42.620 he accepted their lies
00:22:44.020 and caved in
00:22:45.320 to the mob
00:22:45.860 and apologized.
00:22:48.460 For what?
00:22:49.960 And in so doing,
00:22:50.980 he made those laws
00:22:52.660 into,
00:22:53.240 those lies
00:22:54.580 into false truths
00:22:55.640 and he wrote
00:22:56.380 his own epitaph.
00:22:58.460 What a shame.
00:22:59.360 Hey,
00:22:59.640 when they come for you,
00:23:01.760 what will you do?
00:23:04.320 Whimper
00:23:04.800 and beg?
00:23:07.140 Friends,
00:23:07.660 it won't save you.
00:23:08.660 It won't save you.
00:23:09.720 So you might as well
00:23:10.520 be honest
00:23:10.980 until the end.
00:23:13.140 Real talk for a moment.
00:23:14.220 If you're being
00:23:14.620 deplatformed like this,
00:23:15.740 drop me a line.
00:23:17.260 Ezra
00:23:17.660 at rebelnews.com.
00:23:19.340 I'll help you
00:23:20.040 if I can.
00:23:21.460 Look,
00:23:21.720 someone's got to stand
00:23:22.460 after these crashes.
00:23:24.380 Stay with us for more.
00:23:37.260 Welcome back.
00:23:38.080 Well,
00:23:38.300 did you think
00:23:38.860 they would only stop
00:23:39.800 at removing statues?
00:23:42.240 Of course not.
00:23:43.140 Taking out the chairman
00:23:44.460 of the University
00:23:45.000 of British Columbia
00:23:45.660 for liking
00:23:46.640 a banal tweet
00:23:48.380 from the president
00:23:49.340 of the United States.
00:23:50.060 Just shocking.
00:23:51.840 But of course,
00:23:52.700 it starts with statues
00:23:53.700 and it's rather
00:23:54.420 indiscriminate.
00:23:56.960 Here's a statue
00:23:57.600 of Cervantes,
00:23:58.840 the Spanish poet
00:24:00.280 who himself
00:24:01.100 was a slave,
00:24:02.980 completely
00:24:03.540 violated.
00:24:04.520 There was a funny
00:24:06.520 statue in Canada.
00:24:09.320 Pierre Trudeau
00:24:10.280 wasn't torn down
00:24:12.020 but it had blackface
00:24:13.660 applied
00:24:14.460 to the statue.
00:24:16.800 Police say
00:24:17.160 they're investigating
00:24:17.760 it as a hate crime.
00:24:18.860 Hate crime against whom?
00:24:20.540 Against black people
00:24:21.700 for being associated
00:24:22.620 with Trudeau?
00:24:23.720 Against Justin Trudeau
00:24:25.360 for,
00:24:25.820 I don't know,
00:24:26.520 but they're certainly
00:24:27.400 going at it.
00:24:28.420 Joining us now
00:24:29.000 via Skype
00:24:29.620 from his home
00:24:30.920 in the Los Angeles area
00:24:32.220 is our friend
00:24:33.340 Joel Pollack,
00:24:34.380 Senior Editor-at-Large
00:24:35.300 at Breitbart.com.
00:24:36.580 Joel,
00:24:36.840 welcome to the show.
00:24:37.460 I see you've got
00:24:37.880 a new story
00:24:38.400 that in San Francisco
00:24:39.420 the city removed
00:24:42.080 a massive
00:24:43.260 Christopher Columbus statue
00:24:44.820 because it weighs
00:24:45.360 two tons.
00:24:46.400 They didn't want it
00:24:46.920 to topple on any
00:24:47.700 protesters
00:24:48.120 so they did
00:24:48.940 the protesters'
00:24:49.780 job for them.
00:24:50.860 They didn't even
00:24:51.420 rely on amateurs.
00:24:52.680 The city brought
00:24:53.400 in professionals
00:24:54.120 to take down
00:24:55.520 a statue of Columbus.
00:24:58.020 I notice you've tweeted
00:24:59.100 about Mount Rushmore.
00:25:01.780 I'd say that's not
00:25:02.920 even a crazy tweet
00:25:03.820 anymore.
00:25:04.800 Why wouldn't they
00:25:05.640 go to Dynamite
00:25:07.140 Mount Rushmore
00:25:08.060 Taliban style?
00:25:10.280 Well,
00:25:10.900 I tweeted a picture
00:25:11.880 of Mount Rushmore
00:25:12.960 with the caption,
00:25:14.540 Go big or go home
00:25:15.480 because they are
00:25:17.620 talking about
00:25:18.540 removing slave-owning
00:25:21.020 presidents.
00:25:21.420 So that would be
00:25:22.480 George Washington
00:25:23.480 and Thomas Jefferson.
00:25:24.660 That's half
00:25:25.200 of Mount Rushmore.
00:25:26.800 They've attacked
00:25:27.700 Abraham Lincoln
00:25:28.580 for, I guess,
00:25:30.280 just being a dead
00:25:30.880 white guy
00:25:31.500 and that's
00:25:33.020 three out of four
00:25:34.300 and yesterday
00:25:35.540 in New York
00:25:37.120 the mayor
00:25:37.780 announced that
00:25:39.320 they're going to be
00:25:40.140 removing the
00:25:41.060 statue of Theodore
00:25:42.080 Roosevelt
00:25:42.540 from in front of
00:25:43.680 the Natural History
00:25:44.900 Museum.
00:25:46.040 Now, Teddy Roosevelt
00:25:46.820 is the archetypal
00:25:47.900 progressive.
00:25:49.200 He was a Republican
00:25:50.480 but also helped
00:25:51.760 found the
00:25:52.840 progressive movement
00:25:53.720 and ran for the
00:25:54.520 presidency actually
00:25:55.380 as the candidate
00:25:57.300 of the progressive
00:25:58.100 Bull Moose Party
00:25:59.240 and to see
00:26:02.700 the progressives
00:26:03.460 of today
00:26:04.000 removing the
00:26:06.080 founder of their
00:26:07.640 particular strain
00:26:08.880 of thinking
00:26:09.340 or one of the
00:26:09.820 most important
00:26:10.460 early leaders
00:26:11.800 of the progressive
00:26:12.560 movement
00:26:12.920 is just the
00:26:14.480 revolution eating
00:26:15.160 itself.
00:26:15.680 And he, of course,
00:26:16.500 is the fourth
00:26:17.080 person on Mount Rushmore,
00:26:19.540 the fourth president,
00:26:20.800 was thought of as
00:26:21.340 being a great president.
00:26:22.380 In fact, my
00:26:23.040 daughter's school
00:26:25.620 in very, very,
00:26:27.120 very liberal
00:26:27.720 Santa Monica
00:26:28.380 is named after
00:26:28.960 Teddy Roosevelt
00:26:29.500 but now he is
00:26:31.000 out of the canon
00:26:32.260 and one of the
00:26:33.580 reasons is that
00:26:35.080 he is depicted
00:26:36.000 in the statue
00:26:36.680 on top of a
00:26:37.500 horse and next
00:26:38.800 to the horse
00:26:39.240 on either side,
00:26:40.260 one side is a
00:26:41.100 Native American
00:26:41.660 and on the other
00:26:42.560 side is an
00:26:43.700 African and
00:26:45.420 these figures
00:26:46.600 are depicted
00:26:47.140 in heroic,
00:26:49.060 iconic ways,
00:26:50.760 a very handsome
00:26:51.600 sculpture.
00:26:53.040 They're not
00:26:53.620 ridiculed in any
00:26:54.440 way, they're
00:26:54.880 sort of celebrated
00:26:55.680 but they're
00:26:57.080 below him.
00:26:58.100 He's on top
00:26:58.780 of the horse
00:26:59.680 and they are
00:27:00.320 at the sides
00:27:01.720 of the horse
00:27:02.220 which I guess
00:27:02.720 is supposed to be
00:27:03.920 demeaning or something
00:27:04.740 according to
00:27:05.460 contemporary interpretations
00:27:06.880 but probably not
00:27:08.400 the interpretation
00:27:08.940 at the time
00:27:09.440 and these represent
00:27:11.160 of course
00:27:11.440 Teddy Roosevelt's
00:27:12.340 adventures.
00:27:13.260 Teddy Roosevelt
00:27:13.680 founded the system
00:27:14.900 of national parks
00:27:15.800 and reunited
00:27:18.200 Americans,
00:27:19.480 particularly urban
00:27:20.060 Americans like himself
00:27:21.020 with the frontier,
00:27:22.800 with the wilderness
00:27:23.640 in America
00:27:24.260 which is associated
00:27:25.120 with Native
00:27:26.120 Americans,
00:27:26.540 at least in the
00:27:27.120 American imagination
00:27:27.980 at the time
00:27:28.780 and he went on
00:27:30.120 safari in Africa
00:27:31.120 and other places
00:27:31.820 and he embraced
00:27:33.940 a kind of
00:27:35.560 indigenous
00:27:36.280 experience
00:27:37.680 but that is now
00:27:39.320 seen as being part
00:27:40.920 of a colonial mindset
00:27:41.920 and maybe he had
00:27:43.020 that mindset.
00:27:44.200 He did develop
00:27:44.960 the U.S. Navy
00:27:45.660 as a world force.
00:27:46.540 He did have that
00:27:47.920 slogan,
00:27:48.300 speak softly
00:27:48.780 and carry a big stick.
00:27:49.720 He did expand
00:27:50.700 American dominion
00:27:52.360 over Cuba
00:27:54.120 as one of the
00:27:54.640 rough riders
00:27:55.180 and over the
00:27:56.220 Philippines
00:27:56.600 in the Spanish-American
00:27:57.440 war that he
00:27:58.060 participated in
00:27:58.780 so I guess
00:28:00.440 that's bad.
00:28:01.000 He expanded
00:28:01.400 American power,
00:28:02.260 he helped inaugurate
00:28:03.060 the era of
00:28:04.100 American global
00:28:04.940 hegemony and
00:28:05.580 therefore he is
00:28:06.560 to be dismantled
00:28:07.500 from the Museum
00:28:08.360 of Natural History.
00:28:10.080 You know,
00:28:10.840 it's incredible.
00:28:12.440 There is no one
00:28:13.500 though,
00:28:14.240 Joel,
00:28:14.540 who can meet
00:28:15.080 the purity test
00:28:15.940 of 2020,
00:28:17.880 even people
00:28:18.340 10 years ago
00:28:19.060 can't meet it
00:28:19.580 because the whole
00:28:19.980 transgenderism fad
00:28:21.380 is less than
00:28:22.460 10 years old.
00:28:23.580 Barack Obama
00:28:24.340 when he ran
00:28:25.740 for office
00:28:26.180 said he was
00:28:26.660 against gay marriage.
00:28:27.640 I'm not even
00:28:27.940 talking about
00:28:28.240 transgender.
00:28:29.640 You know,
00:28:29.900 if you are
00:28:30.980 applying the purity
00:28:31.960 test of 2020,
00:28:33.660 literally no one
00:28:35.140 from 2019
00:28:36.540 would survive it
00:28:38.520 and you know,
00:28:39.520 I don't know
00:28:40.500 if you probably
00:28:40.920 saw it on Twitter,
00:28:42.100 there's a humorous
00:28:42.980 conservative commentator
00:28:44.080 named Jesse Kelly
00:28:44.940 he's got a great
00:28:45.760 sense of humor,
00:28:46.520 he's a bit of
00:28:46.940 a troublemaker.
00:28:47.960 He started
00:28:48.620 cancel Yale
00:28:50.520 trending on Twitter
00:28:51.760 because it's
00:28:52.580 not even a joke,
00:28:54.500 Yale was named
00:28:55.460 after a slave trader,
00:28:56.680 Elihu Yale.
00:28:58.260 And he says,
00:29:00.140 well,
00:29:00.620 at the very least
00:29:01.320 the name should change
00:29:02.520 and I think
00:29:05.400 he's trying to
00:29:06.220 make a point
00:29:07.060 that that name
00:29:08.220 is extremely valuable,
00:29:09.420 it's valuable to
00:29:10.100 rich and fancy people,
00:29:11.600 it's a snobby thing,
00:29:12.900 it's an elitist thing
00:29:13.840 and everyone
00:29:15.180 who goes to Yale
00:29:16.060 loves mentioning,
00:29:16.920 it's like being
00:29:17.280 a vegetarian,
00:29:18.200 you mention it
00:29:18.820 within a minute
00:29:19.340 of meeting someone,
00:29:20.140 oh,
00:29:20.300 did I tell you
00:29:20.680 I went to Yale
00:29:21.300 and if they had
00:29:22.580 to change the name
00:29:23.800 and Coulter says
00:29:25.460 it should be called
00:29:25.900 the New Haven
00:29:26.380 Community College,
00:29:28.880 like this tests
00:29:29.820 whether or not
00:29:30.780 woke liberals
00:29:31.760 mean it
00:29:32.520 for an actual
00:29:33.640 slave trader
00:29:34.340 or if they just
00:29:35.080 want,
00:29:35.420 you know,
00:29:35.680 the Washington
00:29:36.460 Redskins
00:29:37.120 to change their name,
00:29:38.540 I think we're
00:29:39.260 really becoming
00:29:39.860 like the Taliban
00:29:40.540 on all this stuff.
00:29:41.560 We are,
00:29:43.040 and this is
00:29:43.440 the American version
00:29:44.480 of the Chinese
00:29:45.240 Cultural Revolution
00:29:46.140 and if we're
00:29:47.160 going to cancel
00:29:47.720 all these other things,
00:29:49.300 get rid of all
00:29:49.680 these other statues,
00:29:50.320 yes,
00:29:50.660 Yale has to go,
00:29:51.700 New York has to go
00:29:52.720 because the Duke
00:29:53.860 of York apparently
00:29:54.580 was involved
00:29:55.200 in the slave trade
00:29:56.700 as well.
00:29:57.800 So it's just ridiculous
00:29:59.580 and I'm of course
00:30:01.540 happy to see Yale
00:30:02.320 canceled because
00:30:03.220 I'm a good Harvard man
00:30:04.540 and I want to spare
00:30:05.540 Yale the embarrassment
00:30:06.440 of its continued existence
00:30:07.700 but the other thing
00:30:09.460 about it is
00:30:10.020 I actually went to
00:30:10.620 the Yale Daily News,
00:30:11.600 the student newspaper
00:30:12.320 to see how they
00:30:12.940 were covering this
00:30:13.660 and they're on
00:30:14.120 summer break right now
00:30:15.000 and they weren't
00:30:15.420 really on campus
00:30:16.100 anyway for a while
00:30:16.840 because of coronavirus
00:30:17.500 so they're a little
00:30:18.680 bit behind the news
00:30:19.480 but they have covered
00:30:20.680 a protest by Yale
00:30:22.340 students a couple
00:30:23.480 weeks ago
00:30:24.040 to have the Yale
00:30:25.820 Police Department
00:30:26.860 disbanded.
00:30:28.540 That is the other
00:30:29.200 part of this,
00:30:30.060 defund the police,
00:30:30.980 abolish the police.
00:30:32.320 So New Haven,
00:30:33.440 which is not exactly
00:30:34.140 the safest of places
00:30:35.540 to be at night
00:30:36.380 anyway,
00:30:36.680 is a place
00:30:38.720 that many Yale
00:30:39.760 students would
00:30:40.500 like there to be
00:30:41.420 a police force.
00:30:42.260 There are these
00:30:42.760 little blue light
00:30:43.480 emergency phones
00:30:44.200 all over campus
00:30:44.860 if you've ever
00:30:45.280 been there.
00:30:45.640 It's a very nice
00:30:46.020 campus but there
00:30:47.180 are some safety
00:30:47.740 and security concerns
00:30:48.600 and that's why
00:30:48.980 the Yale Police
00:30:49.520 Department exists
00:30:50.320 but no,
00:30:51.540 the woke Yale
00:30:52.100 students want to
00:30:52.760 live without the
00:30:53.340 police.
00:30:54.180 How they're going
00:30:54.640 to do that,
00:30:55.180 I don't know
00:30:55.700 but that's the
00:30:56.360 new demand.
00:30:57.720 Well,
00:30:58.120 I like what
00:30:58.940 Jesse's doing.
00:30:59.700 He's forcing
00:31:00.260 the contradiction.
00:31:01.380 You know,
00:31:01.600 I was in Hong Kong
00:31:03.320 some years back
00:31:04.280 and I studied
00:31:04.920 the Cultural Revolution
00:31:06.740 and I want to
00:31:07.740 tell you something
00:31:08.260 I remember.
00:31:08.940 It was so shocking.
00:31:10.820 China,
00:31:11.700 but also other places,
00:31:13.240 I think it was
00:31:13.780 Cambodia
00:31:14.340 that this comes from,
00:31:16.480 they would,
00:31:17.500 like I,
00:31:18.740 in my opening
00:31:19.320 of the show today
00:31:19.980 I talk about a man
00:31:21.000 who was cancelled,
00:31:21.700 a great public servant,
00:31:23.200 the chairman of the board
00:31:24.020 of the University
00:31:24.500 of British Columbia.
00:31:25.040 Frankly,
00:31:25.240 I had never heard of him
00:31:25.800 until yesterday.
00:31:26.900 But you don't become
00:31:27.620 the chairman of a university
00:31:28.780 for reasons other than
00:31:31.000 public service,
00:31:32.080 hard work,
00:31:32.620 and you're good
00:31:33.840 at running things.
00:31:34.600 I mean,
00:31:34.900 it's not a vanity position.
00:31:37.300 It's not a payoff.
00:31:38.540 It's not like a
00:31:39.380 patronage position.
00:31:41.020 So a good man
00:31:41.680 was thrown out
00:31:42.340 for the most trivial
00:31:43.180 of reasons
00:31:43.820 because if they come
00:31:45.560 for statues first
00:31:46.420 they'll come for men next.
00:31:48.640 And it was in Cambodia,
00:31:50.300 Joel,
00:31:51.920 that they just took
00:31:52.560 a shortcut
00:31:53.020 on all this stuff.
00:31:54.780 They killed anyone
00:31:56.100 with eyeglasses
00:31:58.100 because if you had
00:31:59.900 eyeglasses
00:32:00.500 that meant
00:32:01.040 you read books.
00:32:02.620 And if you read books
00:32:04.100 that probably meant
00:32:05.440 you read books
00:32:06.180 with old ideas
00:32:07.460 and old ways.
00:32:09.320 They literally killed
00:32:10.960 anyone with eyeglasses
00:32:12.960 in Cambodia.
00:32:13.560 In China itself
00:32:14.640 they seized
00:32:16.800 all musical instruments.
00:32:18.320 They destroyed
00:32:18.760 all art.
00:32:20.180 Just a musical instrument
00:32:21.280 itself was a threat
00:32:22.160 because you might
00:32:22.780 be playing music
00:32:23.780 that was not
00:32:24.940 official communist music.
00:32:26.640 That is actually
00:32:27.820 how it went,
00:32:29.040 Joel.
00:32:29.120 Yeah,
00:32:31.860 and what you see here
00:32:32.840 is something
00:32:33.440 very similar
00:32:34.080 and it's targeting
00:32:36.740 even the good guys
00:32:38.720 quote unquote.
00:32:39.400 I mean,
00:32:39.520 you mentioned San Francisco
00:32:40.560 and Christopher Columbus.
00:32:41.940 One of the statues
00:32:42.680 that protesters
00:32:43.420 quote unquote
00:32:44.200 peaceful protesters,
00:32:45.220 right?
00:32:45.520 One of the statues
00:32:46.300 they toppled
00:32:46.940 in the Golden Gate Park
00:32:48.100 over the weekend
00:32:48.840 was Ulysses S. Grant.
00:32:51.560 He was the general
00:32:52.380 that led the Union armies
00:32:53.620 in defeating
00:32:54.820 the Confederacy,
00:32:57.180 in defeating slavery,
00:32:58.500 in liberating the slaves.
00:33:00.080 He was the general
00:33:01.580 who won the war.
00:33:02.920 He later became
00:33:03.520 U.S. president,
00:33:04.320 not the greatest U.S. president,
00:33:05.620 but he was
00:33:06.340 the man who defeated slavery,
00:33:08.600 knocked off his pedestal,
00:33:10.440 so to speak.
00:33:11.920 Another vandalism
00:33:13.820 that happened
00:33:14.200 was in Boston.
00:33:15.300 There's a memorial
00:33:16.320 that dominates
00:33:17.080 the Boston Common.
00:33:18.020 If you've ever been there,
00:33:19.020 you get out
00:33:19.400 at the Park Street
00:33:20.060 Tea Station,
00:33:20.900 you walk up the hill
00:33:21.460 a little bit,
00:33:21.860 right in front of
00:33:22.260 the Massachusetts State House
00:33:23.360 at the top of Boston Common.
00:33:25.280 There is the Shaw Memorial
00:33:27.060 to the 54th Regiment,
00:33:29.520 which is the all-black regiment
00:33:31.080 that fought for the Union
00:33:33.060 against the South
00:33:34.780 during the Civil War.
00:33:36.060 And these are black Americans
00:33:37.520 who fought in the Civil War,
00:33:39.800 fought and died
00:33:40.640 to free the slaves.
00:33:42.840 That memorial was vandalized.
00:33:45.180 And there are many
00:33:46.040 other examples like that.
00:33:46.980 There's an abolitionist
00:33:47.880 in Philadelphia
00:33:48.520 whose statue was vandalized.
00:33:50.600 So this is just
00:33:51.760 a rebellion
00:33:53.260 against anything old,
00:33:55.160 anything white or black
00:33:57.160 that comes to us
00:33:58.240 from history.
00:33:58.920 This is a rebellion
00:33:59.740 against the past.
00:34:01.360 And it's totalitarian
00:34:02.980 in its behavior,
00:34:04.100 in its outlook.
00:34:05.300 This is really frightening,
00:34:07.300 and nobody is doing enough
00:34:09.180 to speak out against it.
00:34:10.100 The only Democrat I saw
00:34:11.340 who said anything about it
00:34:13.540 was Rahm Emanuel,
00:34:15.480 the former mayor of Chicago,
00:34:17.460 who's always been
00:34:18.540 more of an incrementalist,
00:34:19.880 always more of a moderate.
00:34:20.820 And he said that toppling
00:34:24.160 Ulysses S. Grant
00:34:25.960 was just a bridge too far.
00:34:27.240 He said, you know,
00:34:28.360 people are totally ignorant
00:34:29.320 about what they're doing.
00:34:30.820 But, of course,
00:34:31.760 he is hated by the left.
00:34:33.560 So he's also part of the,
00:34:36.160 I guess,
00:34:36.560 historical establishment
00:34:37.640 that they're targeting.
00:34:39.100 You know,
00:34:39.580 I want to ask you
00:34:40.040 one more question,
00:34:40.760 and it's about
00:34:41.540 this board chairman,
00:34:43.580 Korenberg.
00:34:44.280 And, Joel,
00:34:44.940 you can answer it
00:34:45.640 as well as I can
00:34:46.280 because you and I
00:34:47.600 know the same amount
00:34:49.040 about this man,
00:34:50.000 nothing other than
00:34:51.560 he was drunk.
00:34:54.000 On a Saturday night,
00:34:55.860 the university
00:34:56.460 put out a press release,
00:34:57.500 and the key is
00:34:58.460 he himself
00:34:59.760 accepted all the charges
00:35:01.560 against him.
00:35:02.740 He said,
00:35:03.180 I need to do better.
00:35:04.100 I support Black Lives Matter,
00:35:06.300 the movement.
00:35:07.100 I went through
00:35:08.960 every single tweet
00:35:09.720 that was the case
00:35:11.260 against him.
00:35:12.140 The word Black
00:35:13.080 or Black Lives Matter
00:35:14.040 did not even appear
00:35:14.920 in any of them.
00:35:15.520 I tell you that.
00:35:16.140 I mean, if you notice,
00:35:17.120 Trump doesn't criticize
00:35:18.340 Black Lives Matter.
00:35:19.340 He criticized Antifa,
00:35:20.760 and that's a very
00:35:21.520 decided decision
00:35:22.980 on his part.
00:35:24.240 He's trying to preserve
00:35:25.700 his attempt
00:35:26.200 to get the Black vote.
00:35:27.400 So these were
00:35:28.660 the most banal tweets.
00:35:30.440 But he accepted
00:35:31.540 the charges.
00:35:32.340 He confessed.
00:35:33.120 He pled guilty.
00:35:33.840 He gave an abject apology
00:35:35.940 about wanting to do better.
00:35:37.920 And he resigned
00:35:38.640 on a Saturday night
00:35:40.220 saying he deeply
00:35:41.880 hurt university students.
00:35:42.980 I don't even think
00:35:43.720 one in a thousand
00:35:44.780 UBC students
00:35:45.940 could name
00:35:46.440 their chairman
00:35:47.620 of the Board of Governors.
00:35:48.540 And so here's my question
00:35:49.520 to you.
00:35:50.520 Oh, and by the way,
00:35:51.080 this morning I wake up
00:35:52.080 and the star
00:35:53.720 of Canada's
00:35:54.480 CTV morning show,
00:35:55.660 Ben Mulroney,
00:35:56.780 son of former
00:35:57.580 Prime Minister
00:35:58.020 Brian Mulroney,
00:35:59.260 announces he's quitting
00:36:00.180 the show
00:36:00.740 to make way
00:36:02.620 for a Black host.
00:36:03.840 After his wife
00:36:05.000 was sacked
00:36:05.580 for similar reasons.
00:36:07.100 So here's my question
00:36:07.980 to you.
00:36:08.300 I'm sorry for the long
00:36:08.900 preamble.
00:36:11.660 I understand
00:36:12.600 going down fighting.
00:36:14.060 And I understand
00:36:14.820 shutting up.
00:36:16.260 But what I don't
00:36:17.060 understand is this
00:36:18.080 Michael Kornberg
00:36:18.940 at UBC saying,
00:36:20.680 yes, I'm wrong.
00:36:21.860 I'm morally wrong.
00:36:23.120 I confess.
00:36:24.140 Let me self-denounce.
00:36:25.880 I will lose
00:36:26.660 everything I want here.
00:36:28.840 But I will do
00:36:30.280 the final shot
00:36:31.520 against myself.
00:36:32.320 Let me confess
00:36:33.120 in this show trial,
00:36:34.640 there's no gun
00:36:35.660 to his head
00:36:36.140 as there was
00:36:36.660 in Mao's time.
00:36:37.620 Why would that
00:36:38.700 chair of the university
00:36:41.480 denounce himself
00:36:42.420 like that?
00:36:42.800 He was lost anyways.
00:36:43.980 Why did he
00:36:44.520 denounce himself?
00:36:45.300 It's a question
00:36:50.520 that has perplexed
00:36:51.480 observers of
00:36:52.060 totalitarian societies
00:36:53.340 for a long time.
00:36:54.860 Arthur Koestler
00:36:55.640 wrote about it
00:36:56.340 in Darkness at Noon.
00:36:58.400 And George Orwell
00:36:59.400 really explored it
00:37:00.740 more fully in 1984,
00:37:02.080 where he realizes
00:37:04.160 that the goal
00:37:05.880 of the torture,
00:37:08.000 the goal of the
00:37:09.780 state's ever-present,
00:37:11.880 ever-watchful eye
00:37:13.780 is not necessarily
00:37:15.640 to win a political
00:37:17.420 argument or merely
00:37:18.440 to drown out
00:37:20.140 opposition.
00:37:20.780 The people who
00:37:21.200 are tortured are not
00:37:22.220 really opponents
00:37:23.420 of the state.
00:37:24.400 The goal is to make
00:37:25.500 them love the state
00:37:26.340 more.
00:37:27.600 And if you remember
00:37:28.380 the end of 1984,
00:37:29.480 I hope I'm not ruining
00:37:30.160 the book for anyone,
00:37:31.220 but when the protagonist
00:37:33.900 is finally executed
00:37:35.080 by Big Brother,
00:37:37.080 he welcomes it.
00:37:37.880 He welcomes it with
00:37:39.280 love in his heart
00:37:40.380 for Big Brother
00:37:41.000 and pity for his
00:37:43.860 former self,
00:37:45.020 his former
00:37:45.480 unenlightened self
00:37:46.400 that did not realize
00:37:47.520 how wonderful
00:37:48.480 this regime was
00:37:49.520 and how the ultimate
00:37:51.140 thing you can do
00:37:52.520 for yourself
00:37:53.360 and for the society
00:37:54.380 is to sacrifice
00:37:55.360 your life
00:37:56.000 for Big Brother.
00:37:57.660 And this is
00:37:59.600 the ultimate statement
00:38:00.680 of commitment
00:38:01.800 to a political cause
00:38:02.880 is self-effacement.
00:38:04.440 That's the sign
00:38:05.120 of a totalitarian society.
00:38:06.980 We're in the middle
00:38:07.640 of what my colleagues
00:38:08.920 at Breitbart
00:38:09.340 are calling a moral panic
00:38:10.640 and we're seeing
00:38:11.840 totalitarian habits
00:38:12.960 of mind
00:38:13.560 expressed publicly
00:38:15.440 without any sort
00:38:16.340 of self-criticism
00:38:17.060 or self-consciousness
00:38:17.940 or self-awareness.
00:38:19.460 And people are doing
00:38:20.740 this to themselves
00:38:21.340 and each other.
00:38:22.140 They're demanding
00:38:22.520 it of each other.
00:38:23.880 I suppose one could say
00:38:24.940 at least they have
00:38:25.800 the commitment
00:38:27.920 to their convictions
00:38:28.640 that they're willing
00:38:29.580 to take upon themselves
00:38:31.240 the burden
00:38:31.720 of this radical change
00:38:33.040 they wish to see
00:38:33.660 in the rest of society.
00:38:34.540 That's unusual.
00:38:35.160 Most of the time
00:38:35.800 you see liberals
00:38:36.760 prescribing things
00:38:37.540 for other people
00:38:38.040 they don't want
00:38:38.400 to live through themselves.
00:38:39.540 But there's such
00:38:40.160 a panic right now
00:38:41.080 that they almost feel
00:38:42.400 like the way
00:38:42.920 that they can achieve
00:38:43.660 salvation
00:38:44.160 is through self-immolation.
00:38:46.080 And that is what's happening.
00:38:48.300 And I don't believe
00:38:49.400 that that's the destiny
00:38:50.660 of any human being.
00:38:51.940 The classical liberal view
00:38:54.520 is that the individual
00:38:55.700 has dignity.
00:38:57.360 The individual
00:38:57.820 is inviolable.
00:38:58.940 And to ask
00:39:00.600 the individual
00:39:01.480 to give up
00:39:03.460 their identity
00:39:04.680 for something else.
00:39:06.400 You know,
00:39:07.080 self-sacrifice
00:39:07.740 for a cause
00:39:08.400 is noble
00:39:08.880 if it's the right cause.
00:39:10.300 But to ask
00:39:11.100 that a person
00:39:11.500 completely erase themselves
00:39:12.800 is insane.
00:39:14.980 But we are living
00:39:15.640 through a kind
00:39:16.480 of mass hysteria.
00:39:18.480 Yeah.
00:39:19.200 You know,
00:39:19.840 you made me think
00:39:20.560 of one more thing
00:39:21.520 and I think it's
00:39:22.120 from the movie
00:39:22.600 The Lives of Others
00:39:23.680 which was a movie
00:39:25.120 about life
00:39:26.720 in East Germany,
00:39:28.520 the surveillance state,
00:39:29.720 the informant state.
00:39:31.420 And I think
00:39:32.520 I'm remembering it
00:39:33.260 from that movie.
00:39:33.840 You probably know
00:39:34.320 that movie better than me.
00:39:35.860 But the great
00:39:36.800 achievement
00:39:38.100 of the secret police
00:39:39.720 to break the back
00:39:42.760 of a dissident.
00:39:45.820 And maybe I'm confusing
00:39:47.100 my sources of dissidence.
00:39:48.700 Frankly,
00:39:49.340 maybe this was
00:39:49.780 a conversation
00:39:50.240 I had with
00:39:51.380 Anatoly Sharansky,
00:39:52.860 the former Soviet
00:39:53.620 I'm mixing up
00:39:54.980 movies in real life.
00:39:57.420 The greatest way
00:39:58.840 to undermine
00:39:59.960 a freedom fighter,
00:40:00.960 a dissident,
00:40:01.540 a democracy activist
00:40:02.680 was to make them
00:40:04.720 turn in someone else.
00:40:07.500 To make them
00:40:08.080 save themselves
00:40:09.600 by ratting out
00:40:11.180 someone else.
00:40:12.280 Because that,
00:40:13.020 make them swallow
00:40:14.000 their own principles
00:40:14.980 because then
00:40:16.120 never again
00:40:16.760 would they have
00:40:17.220 the moral certainty
00:40:18.340 of the truth
00:40:19.600 behind them.
00:40:20.140 They would know
00:40:20.740 that they themselves
00:40:21.800 were dirty.
00:40:23.020 and if you could
00:40:24.160 make a dissident
00:40:25.020 dirty in his own mind
00:40:26.820 you've destroyed him.
00:40:28.040 If you could make
00:40:28.500 a dissident
00:40:28.960 by himself comfort,
00:40:31.040 by sentencing
00:40:33.340 someone else,
00:40:34.040 that's how you
00:40:34.620 would break them.
00:40:35.960 I think that was
00:40:36.660 from the lives
00:40:37.240 of others.
00:40:38.860 We're not quite
00:40:39.860 there yet
00:40:40.460 but we're getting
00:40:40.940 pretty close.
00:40:41.640 right.
00:40:44.780 The interesting thing
00:40:46.600 is which groups
00:40:47.200 are not protected.
00:40:48.480 So,
00:40:49.000 you have a certain
00:40:50.980 street cred,
00:40:52.160 so to speak,
00:40:52.800 with this mass
00:40:53.780 movement.
00:40:54.580 If you can cite
00:40:55.600 various allegiances
00:40:57.060 to communities
00:40:58.740 of color,
00:40:59.600 LGBTQ,
00:41:00.640 whatever,
00:41:01.940 the one group
00:41:02.620 that is not protected,
00:41:03.580 the one minority group
00:41:04.340 that is not protected
00:41:05.020 is the Jewish community.
00:41:06.280 The Jewish community
00:41:07.160 has been targeted
00:41:07.880 by Black Lives Matter
00:41:08.900 in a way that our media
00:41:10.140 are not talking about.
00:41:11.440 But here in LA
00:41:12.100 there have been
00:41:12.540 synagogues vandalized
00:41:13.660 with anti-Israel,
00:41:15.060 anti-Semitic graffiti
00:41:16.580 and there's
00:41:19.780 a kind of silence
00:41:20.900 about it.
00:41:21.360 Remember in the early
00:41:22.200 days of the Trump
00:41:22.780 administration,
00:41:23.500 the left and the media
00:41:24.200 claimed that Trump
00:41:24.960 was encouraging
00:41:25.580 anti-Semitism
00:41:26.180 which was always a lie
00:41:27.300 but there was a big
00:41:28.400 discussion about it.
00:41:29.240 It was a big public issue.
00:41:30.540 Now you have
00:41:31.000 anti-Semitism
00:41:31.520 at the core
00:41:32.220 of Black Lives Matter.
00:41:33.220 In fact,
00:41:34.220 many of their founders
00:41:35.480 have links
00:41:36.500 with the Nation of Islam
00:41:37.340 and things like that
00:41:38.180 and there's not
00:41:39.580 any discussion
00:41:40.720 of it whatsoever.
00:41:41.640 So even though Jews
00:41:42.360 are actually
00:41:42.960 historically
00:41:44.380 the most vulnerable
00:41:45.340 minority,
00:41:46.160 they're excluded
00:41:46.800 from this constellation
00:41:47.740 of the oppressed
00:41:49.120 that is sort of
00:41:49.720 rising up.
00:41:50.340 And if you,
00:41:51.140 in fact,
00:41:51.460 stand for the
00:41:52.500 self-determination
00:41:53.240 of the Jewish community
00:41:54.000 whether in the form
00:41:55.560 of Israeli statehood
00:41:57.880 or in the form
00:41:59.140 of Jewish communities
00:42:00.260 being able to
00:42:00.740 protect themselves here,
00:42:02.240 we've got some
00:42:03.380 armed rabbis,
00:42:04.460 for example,
00:42:04.980 protecting Jewish schools
00:42:05.980 and institutions here.
00:42:07.060 if you stand up
00:42:08.480 for that,
00:42:08.820 you are a target.
00:42:10.640 And it's the great
00:42:11.760 moral shame
00:42:12.540 of the Democratic Party
00:42:14.140 that is allowing
00:42:15.000 this to go on,
00:42:16.600 the great moral shame
00:42:17.440 of the media
00:42:18.000 that they have not
00:42:19.060 even interrogated
00:42:19.940 this point,
00:42:20.880 that they're going
00:42:21.520 on with the idea
00:42:22.180 that this is all
00:42:22.760 about social justice
00:42:23.700 and rectifying injustice
00:42:24.760 and ignoring
00:42:25.480 the glaring prejudice
00:42:28.260 and violence
00:42:29.900 going on
00:42:30.580 right in front of them.
00:42:31.200 And of course,
00:42:32.120 white people
00:42:33.400 are also targeted.
00:42:36.160 Non-woke enough
00:42:38.180 gay people
00:42:39.000 are targeted.
00:42:40.860 But in a direct
00:42:41.860 physical sense,
00:42:43.040 synagogues
00:42:43.460 have been attacked.
00:42:44.100 And that's
00:42:44.480 something that
00:42:45.800 would not have happened
00:42:46.560 with a civil rights movement
00:42:48.380 in the mode
00:42:48.760 of Martin Luther King.
00:42:49.780 It probably wouldn't
00:42:50.600 even have happened
00:42:51.240 in the old
00:42:52.180 Malcolm X mode
00:42:52.980 of the Nation of Islam,
00:42:53.940 which was all about
00:42:54.660 promoting internal
00:42:55.580 self-reliance
00:42:56.480 and not about
00:42:57.360 causing trouble
00:42:58.000 for other people,
00:42:58.740 but really more
00:43:00.020 about showing
00:43:00.460 the black community
00:43:01.080 it could organize itself,
00:43:02.180 stand up for itself,
00:43:02.960 defend itself.
00:43:03.940 This is something new
00:43:04.900 and it's out of control
00:43:07.280 and the elites
00:43:08.060 are part of it
00:43:08.740 and they're leading it.
00:43:10.640 It's almost as if
00:43:11.240 they're convinced
00:43:12.420 that the new regime
00:43:13.880 that comes in
00:43:14.580 after November
00:43:15.260 is inevitable.
00:43:16.740 They're anticipating
00:43:17.440 a sort of socialist future
00:43:18.880 and a complete remaking
00:43:19.980 of history
00:43:21.040 and society
00:43:21.760 and they want
00:43:22.260 to be part of it.
00:43:23.120 They don't want
00:43:23.380 to be seen
00:43:23.720 as an obstacle to it
00:43:24.660 lest the wrath
00:43:25.320 of the new regime
00:43:25.980 be worse against them.
00:43:27.320 And so they are
00:43:27.940 the ones actually
00:43:28.680 acquiescing
00:43:29.380 in the removal
00:43:29.900 of Teddy Roosevelt
00:43:30.640 and they're the ones
00:43:31.340 resigning from
00:43:32.360 university positions
00:43:33.220 and so forth.
00:43:34.240 This is a scary time
00:43:35.520 and it's important
00:43:36.940 that people keep
00:43:37.640 speaking out
00:43:38.240 and that you keep
00:43:39.200 covering things
00:43:39.740 the way you do
00:43:40.160 because people
00:43:41.740 are going to need
00:43:42.460 to find a way
00:43:43.560 back to sanity.
00:43:44.960 It needs to be
00:43:45.400 a cold bucket of water
00:43:46.320 in the face
00:43:46.900 at the moment
00:43:47.400 because otherwise
00:43:47.920 we're never going
00:43:48.380 to wake up
00:43:48.720 out of this nightmare.
00:43:50.420 Well that's very heavy stuff.
00:43:51.820 You've given me
00:43:52.220 a lot to think about
00:43:53.060 and I think you've given
00:43:53.860 me a story idea.
00:43:54.860 I have seen
00:43:56.720 the attacks
00:43:59.200 on Jewish
00:43:59.940 institutions
00:44:01.380 and in New York
00:44:04.740 in particular
00:44:05.300 which you would think
00:44:06.000 would be the last place
00:44:06.800 in the world
00:44:07.340 that would be anti-Semitic.
00:44:08.940 I mean it's the largest
00:44:09.580 Jewish population
00:44:10.340 in the world
00:44:10.720 and by some measures
00:44:11.960 in New York City.
00:44:13.280 Very troubling
00:44:14.160 and of course
00:44:16.180 if you're after
00:44:17.140 white privilege
00:44:18.020 well some of the
00:44:18.800 most privileged whites
00:44:19.740 around are Jews
00:44:20.660 including this UBC board chair
00:44:22.920 who just happened
00:44:23.560 to be de-fenestrated.
00:44:24.920 Well Joel,
00:44:25.360 very depressing
00:44:26.020 but we have to know
00:44:26.980 the truth.
00:44:27.900 We have to talk about it
00:44:28.860 before we can fix things
00:44:29.880 and we're doing that here.
00:44:30.740 Great to see you again.
00:44:31.760 Thanks for your time
00:44:32.420 and your insight my friend.
00:44:33.980 Thank you.
00:44:34.600 There you have it.
00:44:35.120 Joel Pollack,
00:44:35.800 senior editor-at-large
00:44:36.920 at Breitbart.com.
00:44:39.020 Stay with us.
00:44:39.680 Your letters and letters.
00:44:44.160 Hey, welcome back
00:44:49.060 on my monologue Friday.
00:44:50.100 Marie writes,
00:44:51.360 this is the first time
00:44:52.180 I've heard a journalist
00:44:52.840 from the rest of Canada
00:44:53.800 talk positively about Quebec.
00:44:55.720 I thank you for that.
00:44:56.840 I don't know why
00:44:57.560 as soon as we want
00:44:58.340 to assert ourselves
00:44:59.020 as a French-speaking
00:45:00.120 and secular people
00:45:00.860 we're called racists.
00:45:03.060 I think Quebecers
00:45:03.980 have thought a lot longer
00:45:05.200 and harder
00:45:05.660 about what identity means
00:45:07.180 in this era
00:45:08.060 than the rest of Canada.
00:45:10.080 We just sort of
00:45:10.760 let it float away
00:45:11.600 as we stop teaching
00:45:12.520 our own history
00:45:13.200 and culture in school.
00:45:15.100 I mean,
00:45:15.320 I never knew our history
00:45:16.200 about freeing slaves
00:45:17.120 until literally last month.
00:45:19.260 I just didn't,
00:45:20.460 I wasn't taught it.
00:45:21.460 No one mentioned it.
00:45:22.460 It wasn't in the news
00:45:23.680 or pop culture
00:45:24.420 or even in museums.
00:45:28.720 Philippe writes,
00:45:30.040 I'm a Quebecer myself.
00:45:31.100 I'm a very patriotic man.
00:45:32.360 I love our country
00:45:32.980 and every single provinces
00:45:33.920 and I do think
00:45:34.760 Albertans had bad treatment
00:45:36.300 from federal government.
00:45:38.260 Trudeau is ruining
00:45:38.780 our great country.
00:45:39.540 You know,
00:45:42.440 I'm often reminded
00:45:44.300 by wiser people
00:45:45.200 than myself
00:45:45.760 that the problem
00:45:47.560 isn't particularly Quebec,
00:45:50.360 it's Ottawa.
00:45:52.300 Now, I think there's
00:45:53.080 a lot of political
00:45:54.520 bad ideas
00:45:55.380 in the city of Montreal
00:45:56.460 that's the liberal base
00:45:58.540 in many ways,
00:45:59.240 but that's not
00:45:59.960 all of Quebec people.
00:46:02.720 On my interview
00:46:03.220 with Kian
00:46:03.680 on the leadership debate,
00:46:04.760 Paul writes,
00:46:05.600 I would never vote
00:46:06.120 for McKay.
00:46:06.960 I left the party
00:46:07.560 because it's sheer.
00:46:08.600 McKay is cut
00:46:09.080 from the same cloth.
00:46:10.120 I don't trust O'Toole
00:46:11.040 at all,
00:46:11.900 but I'll give him credit
00:46:12.540 for at least talking
00:46:13.320 to independent media.
00:46:15.060 Yeah, I think
00:46:15.740 Kian being there
00:46:16.580 just cured Peter,
00:46:17.540 keep calling him
00:46:18.560 Peter O'Toole,
00:46:19.340 Aaron O'Toole
00:46:19.980 of his rebelophobia.
00:46:21.820 Oh my God,
00:46:22.740 Peter McKay
00:46:23.280 almost had a breakdown though.
00:46:24.980 I enjoyed that whole thing.
00:46:26.760 I thought Kian
00:46:27.280 did a good job
00:46:27.920 and I enjoyed
00:46:29.160 doing the live stream
00:46:29.960 that night
00:46:30.400 with Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:46:31.180 and of course
00:46:32.060 David Menzies
00:46:32.600 had a great phone
00:46:33.600 in question too.
00:46:35.200 So that was
00:46:35.580 a good night.
00:46:36.460 I think it was
00:46:37.700 a sign that the parties
00:46:40.080 well, look,
00:46:41.880 let me put it this way.
00:46:42.600 I mean,
00:46:42.780 you never know
00:46:43.180 what the future holds,
00:46:44.540 but it was a low-octane
00:46:46.100 event, people.
00:46:47.160 It was a low-energy event
00:46:48.320 and I hate to say it,
00:46:50.120 I think if the election
00:46:51.220 were called now,
00:46:52.260 I think Justin Trudeau
00:46:53.060 would not only win,
00:46:54.760 he'd win a majority.
00:46:57.100 Well, that's our show
00:46:57.520 for today.
00:46:58.000 Until tomorrow,
00:46:58.880 on behalf of all of us
00:46:59.880 here at Rubble World Headquarters,
00:47:01.640 to you at home,
00:47:02.340 good night
00:47:02.720 and keep fighting
00:47:04.340 for freedom.
00:47:06.460 .
