Transcript

00:00:00.000 Tonight, ordinary citizens react to the murder of a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl
00:00:05.020 in a manner that our media party doesn't approve.
00:00:08.780 It's September 17th, and you're watching The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:17.200 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:21.000 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:24.720 You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.
00:00:27.700 It's the only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it
00:00:31.680 is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:00:38.580 Last week, Ibrahim Ali, one of Justin Trudeau's Syrian refugees,
00:00:43.340 was charged with the first-degree murder of a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian girl, Marissa Shen.
00:00:49.080 Here's some video footage of Shen in the last few hours of her life
00:00:52.980 as she went to a local coffee shop and went out to the park
00:00:56.140 where she was later murdered.
00:00:59.040 I don't want to ignore her.
00:01:00.220 I don't want to forget her because she's already being ignored and written out of the story.
00:01:05.500 She is the real victim, obviously, as is her family and her community.
00:01:09.560 But just like the odious case of Omar Khadr, the mainstream media
00:01:13.140 and the political elites, what I often call the media party,
00:01:16.260 have decided that Ibrahim Ali, the accused murderer, is the real victim here,
00:01:21.660 and that Syrian refugees are the real victims here,
00:01:24.520 and that the cause of open-border mass immigration is the real victim here.
00:01:28.300 So they have to omit the actual victim from their stories
00:01:31.420 so you're not reminded of the pure evil that has happened to her.
00:01:35.560 That's what the media party did for Omar Khadr.
00:01:37.480 Can you name for me the name of the man he murdered
00:01:40.100 or the name of his fatherless kids
00:01:42.760 or the man who was blinded in one eye by Omar Khadr?
00:01:45.180 Unless you have been a close supporter of our own crowdfunding campaign for them,
00:01:49.080 I bet you can't, because the Canadian media never mentions them.
00:01:53.760 Sergeant Christopher Spear is his name, by the way.
00:01:55.900 His widow is Tabitha, and their two kids are Taryn and Tanner.
00:01:59.040 The man who lost his eye is Lane Morris.
00:02:02.040 It's important to remember the real victims
00:02:04.440 when the media tries to gaslight you.
00:02:07.620 It's important to think about a beautiful 13-year-old girl
00:02:09.800 who will never have a chance to grow up and live
00:02:11.960 because the mainstream media, upon learning that her accused murderer
00:02:15.660 was a Muslim refugee from Syria,
00:02:17.160 have decided they need to reframe the story.
00:02:20.020 Don't let them do that.
00:02:22.220 Here's CTV doing that.
00:02:24.900 Their story is actually headlined,
00:02:26.820 Accused Killer of BC Teen Described as New to Canada, Normal Guy.
00:02:31.620 Let me quote from the story.
00:02:34.380 A family friend who CTV Vancouver agreed not to identify
00:02:37.440 described Ali as calm, respectful, and a normal guy
00:02:42.640 and said he hadn't seen Ali acting as though he had something to hide.
00:02:45.620 Well, if that settles it then, it sounds like a really great guy
00:02:48.800 with a smile that would light up the room.
00:02:51.640 Is there any other category of accused murderers and rapists
00:02:54.360 for whom the media immediately goes into normalization and humanization mode?
00:02:59.240 Well, they did that for Faisal Hussain,
00:03:01.260 the killer who went on a shooting spree in Toronto's Greek town,
00:03:04.040 murdering two young girls also.
00:03:06.420 Here's the CBC literally quoting someone saying that phrase,
00:03:10.160 he had a million-dollar smile.
00:03:13.780 And he was very upbeat and happy whenever I saw him.
00:03:16.340 I didn't identify any triggers.
00:03:18.320 I couldn't see anything wrong.
00:03:21.280 Is there any other kind of murderer?
00:03:23.240 Other than a Muslim migrant for whom the media immediately ignores the real victims
00:03:26.740 and tries to turn the murderer or accused murderer into a victim?
00:03:29.940 It's so gross.
00:03:31.180 And yet absolutely uniform across Canadian media.
00:03:34.120 Let me show you some local Vancouver media coverage.
00:03:36.980 So on the day when Ibrahim Ali was first brought into court,
00:03:40.100 a local Syrian activist named Mohammed Al-Salah
00:03:43.800 thought he'd go and grab some of the publicity for himself.
00:03:49.060 A quick Google search will show you that Al-Salah
00:03:51.260 is a professional immigration agitator and propagandist
00:03:55.720 who literally does the political speaking circuit
00:03:58.560 promoting Muslim immigration to the West.
00:04:00.900 It's his profession.
00:04:02.560 He's an organizer, and he was very organized.
00:04:04.700 He contacted all the media in the city of Vancouver
00:04:07.600 and told them the official Syrian refugee-approved narrative
00:04:11.340 that this murder has nothing to do with the accused being a Syrian refugee.
00:04:16.080 And even if it does, Syrians are just as mad as the Chinese community.
00:04:19.700 And it's very important that the media not be, you know,
00:04:22.840 into boring Chinese stuff about a Chinese-Canadian girl murdered and possibly raped,
00:04:28.140 which I think is the reason it's a first-degree murder charge.
00:04:30.620 No, no, no.
00:04:32.740 It's about the noble Syrian refugee stories, all about them.
00:04:35.720 And the media didn't just report this strategy by Al-Salah.
00:04:40.540 They helped organize it.
00:04:42.600 They published a video of Al-Salah
00:04:45.020 advertising his huge rally of Syrians in support of Marissa.
00:04:50.760 They literally embedded his PR video right into the Vancouver Sun's main website
00:04:57.820 with a beautiful promotional propaganda piece underneath it.
00:05:02.200 I mean, what's that, $100,000 worth of PR gifted to him, minimum?
00:05:07.040 Al-Salah obviously worked the phones because by the time he showed up at court,
00:05:11.400 he had, oh, I don't know, maybe four other Syrians with him, grand total.
00:05:15.900 For some reason, no one other than his professional activist friends came along.
00:05:19.800 Funny how that worked.
00:05:21.080 There were literally more left-wing media reporting on his fake vigil
00:05:25.040 than there were people at that vigil.
00:05:28.060 But to the media's surprise, some actual Chinese-Canadians were actually there.
00:05:33.100 And for some reason, they didn't want to talk about how much they love Syrian refugees.
00:05:36.860 They didn't want to talk about what a normal guy Ibrahim Ali is,
00:05:41.480 how handsome he is, how his smile just lights up a room or whatever.
00:05:44.540 The line today is, how unexpected, that's the line most of the media used.
00:05:50.660 It was so unexpected.
00:05:52.620 Take a look at this.
00:05:54.100 This was not the scene we expected here in downtown Vancouver this morning.
00:05:58.100 We are outside the Vancouver Provincial Courthouse.
00:06:00.460 We were expecting a planned vigil to materialize by members of the Syrian community living in Metro Vancouver.
00:06:06.620 They had told us that they were going to come and show their support for Marissa Shen's family.
00:06:11.320 Now, instead, we have seen dozens of counter-protesters show up.
00:06:16.100 They say they are also here in support of Shen's family, but they have a very different message.
00:06:20.820 When we are here, yes, we demand the prime minister to apologize.
00:06:25.080 This morning, members of the Syrian community, as I said,
00:06:27.760 had planned to hold vigil outside the Vancouver courthouse.
00:06:30.460 That was drowned out by these counter-protesters who say Ali never should have been here in the first place.
00:06:36.620 You want Trudeau to address this issue?
00:06:39.440 Of course.
00:06:40.420 There's a life, right?
00:06:42.320 A life got terminated at 13 years old.
00:06:45.400 And where's the leader?
00:06:46.980 It's a sad thing for human beings, not only for our community.
00:06:52.480 Yeah, it should be.
00:06:53.900 The murder should be punished.
00:06:56.820 They call that Chinese protest unexpected.
00:06:59.460 Really?
00:07:01.320 Did they think normal Canadians are as soft on crime as they are?
00:07:04.260 Or obsessed with Muslim migrants as they are?
00:07:06.500 But give Global News credit.
00:07:07.920 They actually allowed a very brief criticism of Justin Trudeau to go to air, as you saw.
00:07:13.020 Amazing they'd allow that.
00:07:14.280 That's actually the unexpected part here.
00:07:16.480 Here's more from Sarah McDonald of Global TV.
00:07:18.900 Here's her tweet.
00:07:20.020 She said,
00:07:20.380 Members of the Chinese community came up to speak with us immediately afterwards.
00:07:25.020 They say they are not affiliated with other demonstrators here
00:07:28.500 who called Justin Trudeau's refugee policies too lax.
00:07:32.460 Ibrahim Ali, 28, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Marissa Shen.
00:07:36.960 So Global TV is making it really clear.
00:07:40.460 Chinese Canadians say they are totally not amongst those who believe refugee policies are too lax.
00:07:46.660 No, no, no.
00:07:47.160 Don't worry.
00:07:47.600 The liberal narrative is safe.
00:07:49.120 Trudeau is loved by the Chinese people who love his refugee politics,
00:07:53.440 including that guy who's mad at Trudeau.
00:07:55.860 That's just love.
00:07:56.920 He doesn't know it yet.
00:07:58.700 All right.
00:07:59.180 Let me run the video clip that was embedded in that tweet.
00:08:03.460 And you tell me,
00:08:04.740 is Sarah McDonald reporting accurately?
00:08:08.220 Or is she just, you know,
00:08:11.040 making stuff up to fit her narrative,
00:08:13.160 despite these so many unexpected things the Chinese community said?
00:08:17.440 We are here not only to support the loss of the family,
00:08:34.860 of the young girl, of the young life.
00:08:36.620 We are here to express our concern of the security,
00:08:40.820 of the safety of our community.
00:08:42.740 not only for Chinese community here,
00:08:46.580 people from other different corners of the world, right?
00:08:51.500 We want to have this place, Canada,
00:08:55.500 a better place for our children and children's children.
00:09:00.220 Now, there are a few different factions of people here today,
00:09:03.640 and you're saying you're here on behalf of the Chinese community
00:09:05.500 to show your support for Shen's family.
00:09:07.780 We've also spoken.
00:09:08.360 You're saying you're not associated with the group that is against immigration.
00:09:12.740 And that says that, you know,
00:09:14.080 Syrian refugees should know I've been allowed in your part.
00:09:16.080 No, as Canadian citizens, we are not against the...
00:09:17.900 We all are here for 20 years, you know.
00:09:21.320 We are not against the immigration law.
00:09:24.640 We just want the authority to do the...
00:09:31.260 Better screening.
00:09:32.220 The check-up of the applications.
00:09:36.500 Do not just want anyone who wants to come here.
00:09:40.660 We don't want any criminals with the criminal records to come here
00:09:45.020 and commit crime and kill.
00:09:48.620 Did you catch the part of the ending there?
00:09:50.900 There was some cross-talk, but I've watched a few times now.
00:09:53.140 He specifically said they want better vetting to stop criminals.
00:09:58.780 Better vetting.
00:10:00.000 He's obviously talking about Syrian migrants.
00:10:01.920 That's what they were talking about in the protest.
00:10:03.300 Here, listen just one more time to that ending part.
00:10:05.040 We just want the authority to do the check-up of the applications.
00:10:17.720 Do not just want anyone who wants to come here.
00:10:22.140 We don't want any criminals with the criminal records to come here
00:10:26.140 and commit crime and kill.
00:10:28.120 So just back to that global tweet again by Sarah McDonald.
00:10:33.020 She said,
00:10:34.060 They say they are not affiliated with other demonstrators here
00:10:38.100 who called Justin Trudeau's refugees policies too lax.
00:10:41.180 Yeah, no, sister.
00:10:42.740 That's sort of the exact opposite of what he said.
00:10:46.880 I mean, I know that's what you wanted him to say,
00:10:48.840 but he didn't say that.
00:10:50.580 He says it's too lax.
00:10:51.680 He wants more vetting.
00:10:52.500 The Chinese community is being quite unexpected these days, isn't it?
00:10:55.480 Unexpectedly, they're not thrilled that one of the 13-year-old girls
00:10:58.400 was murdered by a Muslim migrant Trudeau brought to Canada unvetted,
00:11:02.020 who Trudeau himself said would never be allowed in
00:11:04.460 as a single military-aged Muslim male.
00:11:06.680 Trudeau said no single men like that.
00:11:10.060 But he lied, didn't he?
00:11:11.560 So unexpected.
00:11:13.940 Do you remember when a young Muslim girl in Toronto unexpectedly
00:11:17.180 claimed that she was attacked by a Chinese-Canadian man
00:11:20.040 who allegedly cut her hijab with scissors?
00:11:21.920 It was such a preposterous claim that a Chinese man
00:11:24.600 would be walking around town with scissors
00:11:26.600 and he would accost a hijab-y girl on the way to school
00:11:29.680 and rush up to her and say nothing but cut her hijab with scissors
00:11:33.420 but to do so so carefully that he didn't cut her herself
00:11:37.000 and that this whole thing actually happened twice
00:11:39.200 in the same short period of time,
00:11:41.060 but no one saw it and it happened honest.
00:11:43.300 And you know it's legit because the school called
00:11:45.480 the National Press Conference with the 11-year-old girl as the star
00:11:49.020 and put her on national TV and her little brother was there
00:11:51.640 and he was laughing and joking around because that's the normal thing to do
00:11:54.540 after a girl has attacked twice with scissors, right?
00:11:57.520 Put her on national TV, give out her name for the perp to find
00:12:00.620 as opposed to putting the school on lockdown or something.
00:12:04.260 Yeah, it was an obvious hoax.
00:12:06.440 But Justin Trudeau loved it or was fooled by it, I don't know.
00:12:09.640 He put out a national statement condemning the alleged attacker
00:12:12.860 who didn't exist.
00:12:15.160 And once the hoax fell apart, once it was proved there was no Chinese man
00:12:19.500 with scissors, Justin Trudeau didn't correct the record.
00:12:22.680 He let it stand.
00:12:23.980 He let his slander stand.
00:12:27.020 The mainstream media ignored the results of that, but we didn't.
00:12:29.540 Look at this.
00:12:29.860 Remember this?
00:12:30.320 Hundreds of Chinese Canadians marched in protest of Trudeau,
00:12:34.280 criticizing him for blaming them.
00:12:36.620 They also condemned the CBC for promoting the same anti-Chinese lie.
00:12:41.540 And by the way, they praised the rebel too, which was interesting.
00:12:44.040 CBC fake news!
00:12:46.640 CBC fake news!
00:12:48.800 Rebel media real news!
00:12:51.380 Rebel media real news!
00:12:54.820 So that was a few months ago after the hijab hoax.
00:12:58.320 And now this, a real murder of a real girl, not a fake hijab hoax,
00:13:01.620 quickly disproven.
00:13:02.500 And so where is Trudeau's tweet this time?
00:13:05.660 Where is his visit?
00:13:06.760 Where is anything?
00:13:07.500 Not a peep, because it's against the narrative.
00:13:09.880 It would not be unexpected for him to care about a 13-year-old murder victim
00:13:13.380 if the accused were an ordinary killer.
00:13:16.040 If it were a regular, say, gun murder, Trudeau would commiserate and pine for the cameras.
00:13:20.920 But here, it's a Syrian migrant that True himself let in, Trudeau,
00:13:24.540 who allegedly murdered and likely raped the girl.
00:13:27.740 Best to pretend it never happened.
00:13:29.300 No wonder they're mad in Vancouver.
00:13:32.400 Trudeau likes Chinese-Canadians on voting day.
00:13:37.940 The other 364 days a year, well, they have to know their place in the pecking order.
00:13:44.160 Oh, one last thing.
00:13:45.100 That anti-immigrant group that Global News was on about it,
00:13:48.260 that's actually a lovely lady named Laura Lynn Thompson,
00:13:50.940 who was there in solidarity with the Chinese community.
00:13:54.040 She was talking in support of the Chinese folks
00:13:56.260 and argued with some old leftist who was pro-Syrian migrant.
00:13:59.560 But as Laura Lynn was talking,
00:14:01.560 someone walked by, looked like she was wearing a hijab,
00:14:04.560 and threw coffee on her.
00:14:06.360 Take a look.
00:14:11.980 Now, it wasn't clear, but I think that was a woman in a hijab.
00:14:16.320 I couldn't see her face.
00:14:17.700 Let's just watch it one more time.
00:14:18.580 Let's watch it one more time.
00:14:24.700 Did you see that?
00:14:25.500 I think that's a Muslim woman in a hijab.
00:14:28.300 But I don't know.
00:14:28.780 I didn't see her face.
00:14:29.520 I don't know.
00:14:30.820 What we do know is that we saw an assault there,
00:14:32.800 the coffee being thrown on her,
00:14:34.040 and we saw a gaggle of media.
00:14:35.640 You could see the CBC microphone with the logo on it at the end.
00:14:39.700 That's an assault.
00:14:41.840 But not a peep about that from the media.
00:14:43.700 They all saw it with their eyes.
00:14:46.240 They all caught it on tape.
00:14:48.040 But not a minute of that made it to broadcast TV.
00:14:50.600 Why?
00:14:50.880 Because it would be unexpected.
00:14:54.820 An attack, an attacker herself in a hijab,
00:14:58.880 throwing hot coffee on a Canadian critic of Open Borders migration.
00:15:02.540 If it were the other way around,
00:15:03.480 if a white woman had thrown hot coffee on a Muslim woman in a hijab,
00:15:07.180 oh my God, the media would have stampeded after her.
00:15:09.660 Who are you?
00:15:10.120 What's that?
00:15:10.500 They would have left the news.
00:15:11.360 And police would be hunting the hate criminal right now.
00:15:13.660 But the reverse?
00:15:15.820 Yawn, boring.
00:15:16.640 You can't trust the mainstream media.
00:15:20.600 But you know what?
00:15:21.340 Now you have an alternative.
00:15:22.420 Chinese-based media have covered this case much more honestly and comprehensively than Canadian media.
00:15:27.300 The other day I mentioned the South China Morning Post,
00:15:29.820 based in Hong Kong,
00:15:31.120 many online Canadian Chinese media,
00:15:33.860 too.
00:15:35.380 And I did just one little tweet on the subject.
00:15:37.240 You see this tweet here?
00:15:37.900 It took me about a minute or two to write it.
00:15:40.300 And I had the clip on it.
00:15:41.580 And look at these stats.
00:15:44.180 Twitter gives you statistics.
00:15:45.400 Here's a look at the Twitter statistics of that one tweet.
00:15:48.600 That one little tweet I did about this case.
00:15:52.080 1.6 million people read the tweet,
00:15:56.580 and more than 400,000 people actually watched that little video I uploaded.
00:16:02.220 I just copied it, actually.
00:16:04.380 400,000 video views.
00:16:06.960 That's as many people as watch CBC's The National on any given night.
00:16:11.260 Watching one little tweet.
00:16:12.380 1.6 million people looked at the tweet itself.
00:16:14.440 I've been on Twitter for nearly 10 years,
00:16:15.840 and this is by far the most watched, most read thing I've ever written.
00:16:19.560 Why?
00:16:20.200 Was it that interesting?
00:16:22.800 Well, yeah, actually,
00:16:23.520 because people know the media and the politicians are lying to them
00:16:26.000 about something they deeply care about.
00:16:28.540 The murder of this young girl,
00:16:29.980 and who did it,
00:16:30.620 and the critical issues of Islam,
00:16:31.860 and fake refugees,
00:16:33.460 and violence.
00:16:34.280 The media party, at least in Canada,
00:16:37.120 is terrified to talk about it.
00:16:38.800 They bring in actors.
00:16:40.060 That's what that Syrian activist was.
00:16:42.400 They're pretending that he's a legit representative of the Syrian community.
00:16:46.440 That's good enough for the people.
00:16:48.000 An actor says they really love,
00:16:49.840 they really love the Chinese community.
00:16:51.980 They pretend that we all love
00:16:53.720 Trudeau's mass immigration,
00:16:55.420 when polls show 90% of us don't.
00:16:58.420 You know, until very recently,
00:16:59.520 no one had anywhere else to go
00:17:01.140 for the news.
00:17:04.280 Now we do.
00:17:06.420 Stay with us for more.
00:17:27.060 Welcome back.
00:17:28.100 Well, one of the great successes
00:17:29.720 of Donald Trump's presidency so far
00:17:32.200 by observers on the left and the right
00:17:34.720 has been the quality and quantity
00:17:37.540 of appointments he's made to the courts.
00:17:40.380 In fact, he's set a new record
00:17:42.080 for the number of appellate judges appointed,
00:17:45.620 and they've been vetted
00:17:46.500 by the Conservative Federalist Society,
00:17:49.560 so they're judges that Ronald Reagan himself
00:17:52.320 would be proud of.
00:17:53.760 Of course, the crown jewel in the judiciary
00:17:55.880 is the Supreme Court of the United States,
00:17:58.380 and Donald Trump has now nominated
00:18:00.600 his second appointee,
00:18:03.300 a judge well regarded by both parties
00:18:05.620 until this moment,
00:18:07.020 named Brett Kavanaugh.
00:18:08.740 Kavanaugh sustained more questions
00:18:11.740 than any other nominee combined,
00:18:16.400 than every other nominee combined,
00:18:18.640 answering literally hundreds
00:18:21.100 of oral and written questions.
00:18:23.920 Well, the Democrats didn't find enough
00:18:25.660 to stop him,
00:18:26.400 and despite their antics
00:18:27.680 of shouting down and having protests,
00:18:30.540 he appeared to be set for confirmation
00:18:33.660 until a late hit.
00:18:36.280 California Senator Dianne Feinstein
00:18:38.600 broke the news that there was an allegation
00:18:40.980 from Brett Kavanaugh's years in high school
00:18:44.360 that has remained dormant for 30 years
00:18:46.980 and now looks like it could upset
00:18:49.200 this confirmation.
00:18:50.620 Joining us now via Skype
00:18:51.820 is our friend Joel Pollack,
00:18:53.320 Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart.com.
00:18:55.400 Joel, did I accurately sum up
00:18:57.000 the state of Brett Kavanaugh
00:18:58.660 that he was pretty much set
00:19:00.360 to be confirmed until this late hit?
00:19:03.480 Yeah, that's correct.
00:19:04.920 There was no reason not to confirm him,
00:19:07.740 and all of the Republicans on the committee
00:19:09.700 looked satisfied with him,
00:19:11.080 and they were going to vote
00:19:12.880 to pass his nomination
00:19:14.100 through the committee on Thursday
00:19:15.460 on party lines,
00:19:17.060 which would have meant an 11 to 10 vote,
00:19:19.860 and that would have moved it
00:19:21.240 onto the floor of the Senate
00:19:22.180 where, thanks to Democrat removal
00:19:24.840 of rules on the filibuster,
00:19:27.520 a simple majority,
00:19:29.260 which is in the Republicans' hands,
00:19:30.860 would have been enough
00:19:31.460 to put him on the Supreme Court.
00:19:32.920 So this was basically over,
00:19:34.600 but then the vote was postponed
00:19:37.080 from last week
00:19:38.220 because of Hurricane Florence,
00:19:39.340 and now, over the weekend,
00:19:42.300 a woman has come forward
00:19:44.200 to accuse Brett Kavanaugh
00:19:47.160 of sexually assaulting her
00:19:49.380 when they were both in high school.
00:19:51.920 He, 17 years old at the time,
00:19:53.920 she, 15,
00:19:55.340 and the assault sounds like
00:19:57.140 a kind of drunken fumble
00:19:58.740 in a room at a house party,
00:20:02.360 and he says it never happened,
00:20:04.520 and he has never done anything like that
00:20:06.260 with anybody, including the accuser.
00:20:08.120 The only other witness
00:20:09.900 agrees with Brett Kavanaugh.
00:20:12.540 So this woman is the only person
00:20:17.160 who is providing any kind of story here.
00:20:22.500 There's no corroborating evidence at all.
00:20:25.000 The only potentially corroborating evidence
00:20:27.140 is something she told her therapist
00:20:29.440 six years ago,
00:20:30.560 which is 30 years afterward,
00:20:32.580 and the therapist's version of the story
00:20:34.200 is different than hers.
00:20:35.180 So we don't know why
00:20:38.200 this is being taken so seriously.
00:20:39.980 Well, let me rephrase that.
00:20:41.000 We know why.
00:20:41.920 Democrats are determined
00:20:42.900 to stop this confirmation,
00:20:44.860 and so they're grasping at straws,
00:20:46.460 and they've basically said
00:20:48.260 the entire thing needs to be derailed.
00:20:49.960 Now, Kavanaugh has said
00:20:51.620 he's prepared to come back
00:20:52.580 and testify under oath
00:20:53.740 in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
00:20:55.720 and the accuser.
00:20:57.500 She has also said through her attorney
00:20:59.860 she's willing to testify,
00:21:01.180 which should be interesting.
00:21:03.020 But Democrats don't want
00:21:04.860 to have a hearing on this.
00:21:06.840 They want the FBI to investigate.
00:21:09.240 So they're now asking the FBI,
00:21:12.960 once again,
00:21:13.340 to interfere in a fundamental
00:21:15.140 political question,
00:21:16.180 and their goal, of course,
00:21:18.960 is to delay
00:21:19.680 the Kavanaugh confirmation
00:21:21.200 past the election.
00:21:22.900 Now, I don't think that helps them
00:21:24.760 because I don't think
00:21:25.360 they're likely to win,
00:21:26.440 at least in the Senate,
00:21:27.500 in the House.
00:21:28.460 Democrats are favored to win,
00:21:29.820 but Republicans,
00:21:31.040 because of the way
00:21:31.540 the Senate elections
00:21:32.380 are happening this year,
00:21:33.560 are favored to pick up seats
00:21:34.640 in the Senate.
00:21:35.200 So Democrats will have
00:21:36.700 less leverage,
00:21:37.580 not more,
00:21:38.280 after the November election,
00:21:39.360 at least as far as
00:21:40.000 the Senate goes,
00:21:40.720 maybe not in terms
00:21:41.280 of the overall narrative
00:21:42.300 about where the country is at,
00:21:44.020 but it's a delay tactic
00:21:46.740 that they're using,
00:21:48.080 gambling somehow,
00:21:49.860 that this will prevent Kavanaugh
00:21:51.620 from taking a seat
00:21:52.280 on the Supreme Court.
00:21:53.000 Maybe they can force him
00:21:53.760 to withdraw.
00:21:54.580 They can please their own base.
00:21:55.940 They can show that they're strong.
00:21:57.620 They can energize their voters.
00:21:59.380 And whether he's confirmed or not,
00:22:00.880 this will energize their voters anyway
00:22:02.020 because now they've set up
00:22:03.200 a situation in which
00:22:04.400 the elected politicians,
00:22:06.340 most of whom are male,
00:22:07.260 are being confronted
00:22:08.060 with accusations by a woman
00:22:09.540 and told that if they
00:22:11.000 don't believe her,
00:22:12.340 then they're anti-woman.
00:22:14.020 So this is a perfect setup.
00:22:15.940 It's a win-win for Democrats.
00:22:17.140 Either they stop the confirmation
00:22:18.300 or they rile up their base.
00:22:21.000 What's unseen and unheard so far
00:22:23.140 is whether this also riles up
00:22:25.360 the conservative base,
00:22:26.500 the Republican base,
00:22:27.260 and particularly male voters.
00:22:29.320 Male voters,
00:22:30.120 very important to Republicans,
00:22:31.440 very important to Donald Trump,
00:22:33.060 very unlikely to state
00:22:34.420 their opinions openly
00:22:35.520 because once you do,
00:22:36.620 you become a target.
00:22:37.700 But this could motivate
00:22:39.900 more people to go to the polls
00:22:41.220 for the Republicans
00:22:42.700 because if Democrats win
00:22:45.320 in November,
00:22:45.860 you're going to see
00:22:46.420 more and more of these kinds
00:22:48.000 of tactics,
00:22:48.580 these kinds of hearings.
00:22:50.120 And there's no sense
00:22:51.360 that there's any boundary
00:22:52.200 around it whatsoever.
00:22:53.140 If you can go back in time
00:22:54.660 more than 35 years
00:22:56.260 and dredge up
00:22:57.020 a strange accusation
00:23:00.180 uncorroborated
00:23:01.140 from high school
00:23:02.340 in order to evaluate
00:23:03.720 the long distinguished
00:23:04.900 judicial career
00:23:05.840 and the character
00:23:06.540 of a man
00:23:07.900 who's been vouched for
00:23:09.020 by female clerks,
00:23:10.820 female colleagues,
00:23:11.460 even female classmates
00:23:12.560 from that high school era,
00:23:14.800 then anything is possible
00:23:16.640 and really no man is safe.
00:23:18.020 I mean,
00:23:18.240 that's how I think
00:23:19.440 it's quietly being interpreted
00:23:21.380 where Americans are concerned.
00:23:24.720 You know,
00:23:25.000 a lot of these
00:23:26.060 Me Too moments
00:23:27.140 turn on the details.
00:23:29.160 I mean,
00:23:29.420 the phrase
00:23:29.780 the devil's in the details,
00:23:31.400 it's a cliche
00:23:32.300 because it's true.
00:23:33.620 And in this case,
00:23:34.840 you pointed out
00:23:35.760 the important first fact.
00:23:37.480 This happened
00:23:38.040 three and a half decades ago
00:23:39.280 in high school.
00:23:41.620 The second fact
00:23:42.420 is that this woman
00:23:44.240 never breathed
00:23:45.840 the word of this
00:23:46.680 in high school,
00:23:48.200 in college,
00:23:49.060 when Kavanaugh
00:23:50.060 was first appointed
00:23:51.000 to the court,
00:23:51.800 when throughout the decades
00:23:53.620 she only had
00:23:54.940 some sort of
00:23:55.520 recovered memory moment
00:23:56.960 in deep
00:23:57.580 couples therapy,
00:23:59.340 as you mentioned
00:23:59.880 a few years back,
00:24:00.800 but didn't mention
00:24:02.220 the name to her therapist
00:24:03.400 or he didn't write it down.
00:24:04.760 The stories changed.
00:24:05.720 And what's interesting
00:24:08.220 to me is that
00:24:08.980 Senator Feinstein
00:24:10.040 has had this
00:24:12.060 accusation
00:24:13.020 in her pocket
00:24:13.720 for six months
00:24:15.340 and didn't bring it
00:24:16.220 to the FBI
00:24:16.780 then,
00:24:17.520 didn't raise it
00:24:18.380 in the under oath
00:24:20.260 examination of Kavanaugh,
00:24:22.400 obviously was holding it
00:24:23.880 for this last minute
00:24:25.100 hit.
00:24:26.540 And
00:24:26.780 I don't think
00:24:28.400 it's irrelevant
00:24:29.080 that this accuser
00:24:30.640 who has never uttered
00:24:31.660 a complaint
00:24:32.380 in 35 years
00:24:33.620 and who has no
00:24:36.080 corroborating witnesses,
00:24:37.500 didn't tell anyone
00:24:38.160 until some
00:24:38.740 strange couples therapy
00:24:40.140 thing a few years ago,
00:24:41.600 happens to be
00:24:42.440 an anti-Trump activist.
00:24:46.000 Not just a regular person
00:24:48.060 coming forward,
00:24:48.840 but a highly motivated
00:24:50.200 anti-Trump extremist
00:24:52.260 professor
00:24:53.400 whose students
00:24:54.560 say she's a bit
00:24:56.380 dark and unusual
00:24:58.000 and vindictive
00:24:59.080 in their student reviews.
00:25:00.420 I don't think
00:25:01.280 those are irrelevant details.
00:25:02.680 Do you?
00:25:03.620 Well,
00:25:05.400 they're not irrelevant.
00:25:06.880 Obviously,
00:25:07.160 the most important thing
00:25:08.100 is what she'll say
00:25:08.820 under oath.
00:25:10.140 But I think
00:25:11.000 that's all reason
00:25:12.500 for her to be
00:25:13.600 cross-examined
00:25:14.320 by Republicans
00:25:15.980 on the Senate
00:25:16.500 Judiciary Committee.
00:25:17.320 I think that
00:25:17.900 as long as they keep
00:25:19.380 to the original timetable,
00:25:20.820 they can have a hearing
00:25:22.240 with this woman
00:25:22.840 and with
00:25:23.480 Judge Kavanaugh
00:25:24.940 and still vote
00:25:25.880 on his confirmation
00:25:27.080 on Thursday.
00:25:27.820 There's no reason
00:25:28.260 they can't do it
00:25:28.940 tomorrow or Wednesday.
00:25:30.360 This is a very small
00:25:31.240 accusation.
00:25:31.840 It's not backed up
00:25:33.760 by other accusations.
00:25:34.680 It's not a terribly
00:25:36.560 deep evidentiary dive.
00:25:39.280 She's going to tell her story
00:25:40.340 and he's going to respond
00:25:41.300 and they're going to ask
00:25:42.060 each other
00:25:42.500 or the two sides
00:25:44.100 are going to ask them questions.
00:25:45.060 That's it.
00:25:45.500 So I think Democrats
00:25:48.580 are now,
00:25:50.340 you know,
00:25:51.100 we're told that
00:25:51.800 the Me Too movement
00:25:52.420 is supposed to allow
00:25:53.280 victims or accusers
00:25:55.180 to be heard
00:25:55.760 but they don't want
00:25:56.520 to hear her.
00:25:57.380 They want to drag this out
00:25:58.500 and I think Democrats
00:26:00.000 are now risking
00:26:00.500 this entire tactic
00:26:01.760 because if they decide
00:26:02.540 not to have
00:26:03.320 these hearings
00:26:04.960 under oath
00:26:05.560 then Republicans
00:26:06.540 may just decide,
00:26:07.380 you know,
00:26:07.500 we did our best.
00:26:08.700 Too bad.
00:26:09.520 We're going to vote
00:26:10.000 on this anyway.
00:26:11.200 That may be complicated
00:26:12.140 by the fact that
00:26:12.740 one of the Republicans,
00:26:13.620 Jeff Flake,
00:26:14.140 who's a determined
00:26:16.020 anti-Trumper,
00:26:17.700 has already said
00:26:19.200 he wants to hear more
00:26:20.300 and maybe we should
00:26:21.020 delay things
00:26:21.540 but basically,
00:26:24.280 I think the longer
00:26:25.500 this drags on,
00:26:26.520 the worse it looks
00:26:27.140 for Democrats.
00:26:28.540 So I think
00:26:30.280 Kavanaugh's nomination
00:26:32.480 is now at risk
00:26:34.060 but also I believe
00:26:36.360 Democrats are risking
00:26:38.140 a lot by pulling
00:26:40.380 this card
00:26:40.980 because again,
00:26:41.540 I think there will be
00:26:42.160 a backlash,
00:26:42.900 a quiet one,
00:26:43.500 but one that counts
00:26:44.420 in November
00:26:44.920 and even if Democrats
00:26:46.720 win in November,
00:26:47.460 they can't stop Trump
00:26:48.460 from nominating
00:26:49.140 another conservative justice
00:26:50.560 as long as Republicans
00:26:51.440 hold the Senate
00:26:52.100 which they're likely to do.
00:26:54.700 Here's why I think
00:26:55.880 this is maybe
00:26:57.360 the most important
00:26:58.480 moment
00:26:59.160 of the year
00:27:01.080 for Trump
00:27:02.000 and I acknowledge
00:27:03.380 he has done
00:27:04.220 some interesting things,
00:27:06.200 his trade deals,
00:27:07.740 his tax cut,
00:27:08.880 but here's why
00:27:11.040 I think this moment
00:27:12.020 is more important
00:27:13.600 than maybe any
00:27:14.360 since the campaign
00:27:15.360 and Joel,
00:27:16.780 I'd really like
00:27:17.200 your thoughts on this.
00:27:17.940 You're of course
00:27:18.380 the author of a best-selling
00:27:19.260 book on Trump.
00:27:22.680 It's my view
00:27:23.640 that the accusations
00:27:24.640 have,
00:27:25.680 well,
00:27:25.900 it's universally known
00:27:27.540 that the accusations
00:27:28.400 here have no basis
00:27:29.820 other than
00:27:30.580 this woman's
00:27:31.480 recovered memories
00:27:33.620 35 years later.
00:27:34.680 So there's,
00:27:35.700 there could not be less.
00:27:37.660 It couldn't be any older.
00:27:39.060 It couldn't,
00:27:39.560 I mean,
00:27:39.720 a teenager,
00:27:41.220 no corroboration,
00:27:43.160 why didn't she mention this?
00:27:44.540 Why did the Democrats
00:27:45.340 hold it back?
00:27:45.860 Et cetera,
00:27:46.200 et cetera.
00:27:46.920 If this is enough
00:27:48.400 to derail
00:27:50.000 an eminently qualified
00:27:51.720 moderate,
00:27:52.940 bipartisan,
00:27:53.500 this judge has had
00:27:54.180 bipartisan support
00:27:55.060 in the past.
00:27:56.340 If this good man,
00:27:58.080 Brett Kavanaugh,
00:27:58.700 if this half accusation
00:28:00.820 is enough to stop him,
00:28:02.780 if this tactic
00:28:04.220 is rewarded
00:28:05.100 with success,
00:28:06.620 two things will happen.
00:28:07.660 First of all,
00:28:08.620 this tactic will be repeated
00:28:09.800 and no one will be safe
00:28:12.240 from,
00:28:13.000 oh,
00:28:13.220 back in junior high,
00:28:14.840 you dipped a girl's
00:28:16.220 hair ponytail
00:28:17.100 in the inkwell
00:28:18.120 back in 1952.
00:28:20.400 I mean,
00:28:20.960 so if,
00:28:21.780 if this is given
00:28:22.720 credence,
00:28:23.940 moral authority,
00:28:24.940 it'll be rewarded
00:28:25.960 with a hundredfold
00:28:26.900 and no man could,
00:28:28.860 if an accusation
00:28:29.860 is the same
00:28:30.420 as a conviction,
00:28:31.500 no one will ever recover.
00:28:32.640 But more importantly,
00:28:33.520 Trump won
00:28:34.480 precisely because
00:28:36.600 he wasn't willing
00:28:37.340 to submit to this
00:28:38.140 kind of unfair tactic.
00:28:39.580 He was the bully enough,
00:28:41.420 the bull in the china shop enough,
00:28:43.060 the tough guy enough
00:28:43.900 that he would never
00:28:44.780 bend the knee
00:28:46.060 to the media narrative.
00:28:47.860 The same way
00:28:48.520 they destroyed
00:28:49.060 John McCain in 2008,
00:28:50.340 the same way
00:28:50.740 they destroyed
00:28:51.980 Mitt Romney in 2012,
00:28:53.700 those were mild,
00:28:55.060 Mitt Romney
00:28:56.160 was a mild-mannered man
00:28:57.740 who was inoffensive
00:28:59.120 in every way
00:28:59.840 and yet they turned him
00:29:01.080 into a raging misogynist
00:29:03.440 because he used the phrase
00:29:04.460 I have binders of women
00:29:05.460 referring to resumes.
00:29:06.700 I guess my point,
00:29:08.060 Joel,
00:29:08.320 is
00:29:08.600 Trump,
00:29:10.920 his very credibility
00:29:12.260 and his very style
00:29:13.420 is at risk here.
00:29:15.000 If he is seen
00:29:16.000 to bend the knee
00:29:16.740 to this mob,
00:29:18.240 I think
00:29:18.720 countless of his supporters
00:29:20.420 will lose heart.
00:29:22.100 If he says
00:29:22.960 this is a smear
00:29:24.020 to hell with
00:29:25.260 this dirty tactics,
00:29:26.760 I think like you said,
00:29:27.800 a lot of people
00:29:28.460 will quietly say
00:29:29.480 enough.
00:29:30.700 That's exactly right.
00:29:31.700 What do you think?
00:29:32.120 Sorry,
00:29:32.320 there was a long-winded way
00:29:33.500 of me putting the question
00:29:34.380 but I think this
00:29:35.440 puts to the test
00:29:36.640 everything Trump stands for.
00:29:39.740 Well,
00:29:40.220 what's been interesting
00:29:40.940 is that he's standing
00:29:41.900 by the nominee.
00:29:42.960 He hasn't said much
00:29:44.020 on Twitter
00:29:44.600 where he's usually
00:29:45.240 quite vocal.
00:29:46.360 I think he's watching
00:29:47.260 to see what happens
00:29:48.240 but definitely
00:29:49.200 the White House
00:29:49.740 has been supportive.
00:29:51.360 They're not backing down.
00:29:52.720 They think that their man
00:29:53.580 is telling the truth
00:29:54.380 and there's no evidence,
00:29:56.380 no other accusers
00:29:57.380 as of yet anyway.
00:29:59.060 So this looks like
00:30:00.020 a desperation tactic
00:30:01.120 from Democrats.
00:30:01.880 The thing that Democrats
00:30:03.380 really have against them here,
00:30:05.320 one of the many things,
00:30:06.340 is the timing.
00:30:07.160 They had this information
00:30:08.240 as you said
00:30:08.780 in July.
00:30:10.020 They did not bring it up.
00:30:10.940 They did not ask him
00:30:11.740 even in the abstract
00:30:12.900 in private meetings.
00:30:14.420 They didn't ask him
00:30:15.100 under oath
00:30:15.660 in the public meetings,
00:30:18.280 in the one-on-one meetings,
00:30:19.380 nothing.
00:30:19.780 This never came up.
00:30:20.460 So they're trying
00:30:20.920 to blindside him
00:30:21.800 with something
00:30:22.260 that they've been sitting on
00:30:23.640 for months
00:30:24.220 which basically
00:30:25.120 is anti-democratic
00:30:26.440 when you think about it
00:30:27.180 because the public
00:30:27.820 is supposed to be able
00:30:28.740 to see into this process
00:30:29.880 and you have these hearings
00:30:31.280 and everybody watches
00:30:32.020 and everybody forms an opinion
00:30:33.180 based on that
00:30:34.480 and instead of allowing
00:30:36.140 that public process
00:30:37.360 to play out,
00:30:38.460 Democrats basically
00:30:39.300 withheld this information
00:30:40.400 then made sure
00:30:41.000 it was leaked
00:30:41.520 to the media
00:30:42.140 and they're attempting
00:30:44.240 once again
00:30:45.240 to bring the FBI
00:30:46.080 into the situation.
00:30:48.000 It's anti-democratic
00:30:49.280 and I think
00:30:51.300 it's going to hurt
00:30:52.040 Democrats in the long run
00:30:53.220 even if their base
00:30:54.280 is fired up
00:30:55.460 seeing that their leaders
00:30:56.620 are fighting
00:30:57.620 against a conservative
00:30:59.260 5-4 Supreme Court majority.
00:31:00.800 They're going to get
00:31:01.160 that conservative majority
00:31:02.080 with or without Brett Kavanaugh
00:31:03.320 because Trump is going
00:31:04.200 to appoint someone else
00:31:04.880 if Kavanaugh resigns
00:31:07.100 or fades,
00:31:08.480 withdraws,
00:31:08.920 whatever
00:31:09.180 or if he's not accepted
00:31:11.180 in the final floor vote.
00:31:12.900 I also think
00:31:13.400 that the Republicans
00:31:14.060 like Jeff Flake,
00:31:15.040 I mean he's retiring
00:31:15.700 but those who waver
00:31:17.020 on Kavanaugh
00:31:17.640 will also see
00:31:19.260 their political fortunes fail
00:31:21.540 and conversely
00:31:23.460 I think Democrats
00:31:24.320 that support Kavanaugh
00:31:26.040 will see their fortunes improve.
00:31:28.080 There are several states
00:31:28.880 in which Democrats
00:31:30.120 are running this year
00:31:31.380 in November
00:31:31.740 that Trump won in 2016
00:31:33.080 so those red state Democrats
00:31:34.900 are under a lot of pressure
00:31:35.920 and Dianne Feinstein
00:31:37.240 and the left wing
00:31:38.360 of the Democratic Party
00:31:39.180 have not made things
00:31:40.020 any easier for them.
00:31:41.700 Joel, my last question
00:31:42.400 to you was a bit of a ramble.
00:31:43.480 Can I try a different approach
00:31:45.000 and I'll keep it more succinct
00:31:46.020 because there's something
00:31:46.860 about Trump
00:31:47.400 I want to plumb here
00:31:48.420 and his appeal.
00:31:49.920 I don't know if you remember
00:31:50.800 in his primary campaign
00:31:52.620 he was in,
00:31:53.220 I think it was North Dakota
00:31:53.980 and he said the word
00:31:55.460 Pocahontas
00:31:56.420 in reference to
00:31:57.800 Senator Warren
00:31:58.880 of Massachusetts
00:31:59.880 and some aboriginal
00:32:02.660 journalists from Canada
00:32:03.900 actually shouted,
00:32:05.540 that's offensive
00:32:06.360 and instead of backing down
00:32:08.800 Trump said,
00:32:09.800 oh, what, Pocahontas?
00:32:10.740 And he repeated
00:32:11.400 the bad word
00:32:13.300 several more times
00:32:15.000 on purpose
00:32:16.840 not only because
00:32:18.500 he's a provocateur
00:32:19.760 but as a sign
00:32:20.920 that he was not going to
00:32:22.260 be stunned
00:32:23.600 or blinked
00:32:24.380 or deviated
00:32:25.060 from his path
00:32:25.700 because of a journalist.
00:32:27.700 Even if she was right,
00:32:28.840 which she wasn't,
00:32:29.520 he wasn't being offensive
00:32:30.520 to aboriginals,
00:32:31.500 he was poking fun
00:32:33.160 at Elizabeth Warren
00:32:33.860 the fake aboriginal.
00:32:34.960 And I think a million men
00:32:38.380 across America
00:32:39.420 said right on
00:32:41.220 because
00:32:42.600 Trump pointed out
00:32:44.900 that Elizabeth Warren
00:32:45.680 was a beneficiary
00:32:47.620 apparently
00:32:48.120 of affirmative action
00:32:49.580 and fake racism
00:32:51.560 and stuff like that
00:32:52.480 and he was calling them on it.
00:32:53.860 I think that's here too.
00:32:55.900 I think a lot of guys
00:32:57.640 and a lot of women,
00:32:58.640 a lot of moms
00:32:59.180 and wives
00:33:00.140 know that this is
00:33:01.360 an unfair charge
00:33:02.320 against Brett Kavanaugh
00:33:03.340 but they don't dare
00:33:04.420 utter it publicly
00:33:05.400 and if Trump says
00:33:07.100 I'm not blinking
00:33:08.060 in this unfairness,
00:33:09.400 a million people
00:33:10.180 will say finally
00:33:11.620 someone's fighting back
00:33:13.760 for when I was
00:33:14.820 wrongfully accused
00:33:15.900 or when I could
00:33:17.360 be wrongfully accused.
00:33:19.120 Finally,
00:33:19.700 we have a bully
00:33:20.260 on our side
00:33:21.000 as tough as the bully
00:33:21.820 on the others.
00:33:22.700 Okay,
00:33:22.920 that wasn't any shorter
00:33:23.780 than my last attempt
00:33:24.600 at the question
00:33:25.160 but did it make any sense?
00:33:26.640 Am I making any sense,
00:33:27.580 Joel?
00:33:28.520 It's the same dynamic
00:33:30.280 as we saw
00:33:31.980 during the election itself.
00:33:34.420 That's exactly
00:33:35.140 what happened
00:33:35.600 during the election
00:33:36.220 that there were enough
00:33:38.960 American voters
00:33:39.640 who decided
00:33:40.160 they had to stand up
00:33:41.500 to the intimidation
00:33:44.240 to the cult
00:33:45.180 of political correctness
00:33:46.540 and that's what's happened.
00:33:50.260 so I think you're seeing
00:33:54.520 a similar dynamic.
00:33:55.380 Democrats seem to want
00:33:56.260 to re-litigate 2016
00:33:57.400 right down to
00:33:58.300 what Barack Obama
00:34:00.420 is saying
00:34:02.180 on the campaign trail.
00:34:03.260 There's nothing different
00:34:03.980 at all.
00:34:04.420 They're setting this up
00:34:05.580 as a replay of 2016.
00:34:07.540 They think that
00:34:08.400 they have the momentum
00:34:09.160 on their side
00:34:09.880 because their voters
00:34:10.640 are energized
00:34:11.260 by the defeat
00:34:12.100 of that presidential election.
00:34:13.980 I'm not sure
00:34:14.540 they're not making
00:34:15.020 a big strategic mistake
00:34:16.520 and I think
00:34:17.100 that there are enough people
00:34:18.040 who will stick with Trump
00:34:19.560 because they see
00:34:20.420 the Democrats bullying
00:34:21.540 not just Brett Kavanaugh
00:34:23.040 but potentially
00:34:23.820 other people as well.
00:34:25.320 Well, Joel,
00:34:25.880 you're being very generous
00:34:26.600 with your time
00:34:27.040 and thank you for listening
00:34:28.040 to my two rambling questions.
00:34:30.380 I guess I'm still
00:34:31.040 trying to figure out
00:34:31.920 the dynamic here.
00:34:33.260 I personally think
00:34:34.140 it's an incredibly
00:34:34.820 important moment
00:34:35.680 and I hope that
00:34:36.760 neither Kavanaugh
00:34:37.360 nor Trump blinks.
00:34:38.360 We'll keep reading
00:34:38.920 your stuff on this.
00:34:39.680 I know you've been
00:34:40.080 very active.
00:34:40.820 I've been following
00:34:41.260 your Twitter comments
00:34:42.480 on this very illuminating.
00:34:43.620 Thanks very much, Joel.
00:34:44.400 Thank you.
00:34:44.880 All right.
00:34:45.240 There you have it.
00:34:45.620 Joel Pollack,
00:34:46.520 senior editor-at-large
00:34:47.560 at Breitbart.com
00:34:48.460 who very patiently
00:34:49.540 listened to me
00:34:50.660 put five-minute-long
00:34:52.840 preamble-y questions to him.
00:34:54.660 But what do you think,
00:34:55.460 dear viewer?
00:34:56.120 Let me know.
00:34:56.620 Do you think
00:34:56.980 that this is an important thing
00:34:58.240 that Donald Trump
00:34:58.820 has to dig in his heels on
00:35:00.420 simply to show
00:35:01.820 he can't be pushed around?
00:35:03.100 I fear that if Trump
00:35:04.840 gives in on this,
00:35:06.620 he'll start a...
00:35:07.640 The dam will break
00:35:08.420 and there will be
00:35:09.380 countless false allegations
00:35:11.240 because people will know
00:35:12.340 that Republicans cower
00:35:14.300 and you can do
00:35:14.900 what you will to them.
00:35:16.020 All right.
00:35:16.420 Stay with us.
00:35:17.000 More ahead on The Rebel.
00:35:28.940 Hey, welcome back
00:35:29.700 on my monologue Friday
00:35:30.760 about the liberals
00:35:31.360 bringing resistance tactics
00:35:32.860 from the U.S. to Canada
00:35:34.660 in their war against Doug Ford.
00:35:36.740 Robert writes,
00:35:38.300 Doug Ford is no stranger
00:35:39.300 to the resistance.
00:35:40.600 The far left did this
00:35:41.400 to his brother, Rob.
00:35:42.760 Expect daily attacks
00:35:43.800 on Doug in the far left media,
00:35:45.520 lawsuits galore,
00:35:46.280 and demonstrations
00:35:46.780 by special interest groups
00:35:47.880 who have been booted
00:35:48.960 off the gravy train.
00:35:50.460 You're so right.
00:35:51.380 And expect this whole
00:35:52.420 Brett Kavanaugh thing
00:35:53.480 with an anecdote,
00:35:56.080 true or not,
00:35:57.160 how would you know,
00:35:57.980 35 years ago,
00:35:59.180 something that happened
00:36:00.580 between two teenagers
00:36:01.680 and no one's mentioned it
00:36:03.020 for 35 years.
00:36:04.560 Expect that kind of
00:36:05.800 mudslinging to come,
00:36:06.940 I agree with you,
00:36:07.980 I don't know about it,
00:36:08.520 on a daily basis,
00:36:09.420 but expect dozens
00:36:10.800 and lawsuits
00:36:11.680 and scandals
00:36:13.460 from nothing.
00:36:14.540 I think Doug Ford
00:36:15.880 knows that if he doesn't
00:36:17.020 fight back hard,
00:36:19.040 they'll kill him.
00:36:19.840 If not physically kill him,
00:36:21.240 they'll politically kill him
00:36:22.180 like they did
00:36:23.140 to his brother, Rob.
00:36:25.020 Ron writes,
00:36:26.220 I'm 4,000 kilometers
00:36:27.060 away from you,
00:36:27.720 but go Doug Ford.
00:36:30.260 Yeah, you're right,
00:36:31.300 I don't know which direction
00:36:32.360 you are 4,000 kilometers away.
00:36:34.300 The fact you're saying kilometers
00:36:35.160 tells me you're probably
00:36:36.160 in Canada,
00:36:36.780 not the States
00:36:37.460 or somewhere else.
00:36:38.620 Yeah, I think Doug Ford
00:36:39.400 right now is the most
00:36:40.120 important politician
00:36:40.780 in Canada by far.
00:36:42.880 He's actually leading
00:36:43.600 the charge against
00:36:44.280 Justin Trudeau
00:36:44.920 in important ways,
00:36:46.060 such as on the carbon tax.
00:36:48.080 He is turning back
00:36:49.660 the hands of time
00:36:50.880 on the disastrous,
00:36:52.800 well, he can't turn back
00:36:53.540 the hands of time,
00:36:54.120 but he's stopping
00:36:54.780 the disastrous green schemes,
00:36:57.400 cap and trade,
00:36:58.420 subsidies for wind turbines,
00:37:00.280 things like that.
00:37:01.000 We can never go back
00:37:01.820 in time, unfortunately,
00:37:02.660 on that.
00:37:04.240 But he's using
00:37:05.360 the notwithstanding clause.
00:37:06.300 I hope that becomes
00:37:06.940 a precedent for other
00:37:08.200 provinces, too.
00:37:08.920 Yeah, Doug Ford by far
00:37:10.340 is the most important
00:37:12.320 conservative leader
00:37:12.860 in Canada today,
00:37:13.580 including his media strategy
00:37:15.760 of basically not granting
00:37:17.660 them moral authority.
00:37:18.540 I wish Andrew Scheer
00:37:20.000 would learn this lesson
00:37:21.580 from Doug Ford.
00:37:23.240 On my interview
00:37:23.940 with Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:37:24.760 about the large payouts
00:37:25.680 to Syrian families
00:37:26.440 in Canada,
00:37:27.220 Tammy writes,
00:37:28.640 Sheila, thanks for exposing
00:37:29.780 $50,000 liberal cash scam,
00:37:32.200 cash scam by the liberals.
00:37:32.920 Yeah, it's unbelievable,
00:37:35.360 and I thought what was
00:37:36.300 even more odious
00:37:37.480 about that was
00:37:38.300 the cover-up,
00:37:41.200 that they know
00:37:41.900 what they're doing
00:37:42.520 is so out of sync
00:37:43.600 with public support
00:37:45.040 that they deliberately
00:37:46.260 hid that fact.
00:37:47.640 They know what they're
00:37:48.520 doing is wrong.
00:37:50.600 Billy writes,
00:37:51.900 as we mentioned,
00:37:52.960 Sheila will report
00:37:53.740 on COP24,
00:37:55.700 that's Conference
00:37:56.280 of the Parties 24,
00:37:57.680 in Poland
00:37:58.300 in December.
00:37:58.940 That's the global
00:37:59.440 warming meeting.
00:37:59.980 I think it's more
00:38:01.700 important that she
00:38:02.300 go to Morocco
00:38:02.960 for the UN
00:38:03.920 Open Borders Conference.
00:38:06.120 Well, thank you
00:38:07.000 very much for bringing
00:38:07.700 that to my attention.
00:38:08.800 I read your email
00:38:09.580 when I got it last night,
00:38:10.700 and I went on
00:38:12.540 the UN website,
00:38:13.380 and I have studied
00:38:14.120 about that conference,
00:38:15.240 and I am going to see,
00:38:16.640 in fact, I hope
00:38:17.400 we'll be able to make
00:38:18.520 a decision as soon
00:38:19.180 as this week,
00:38:19.680 if we can send someone
00:38:21.400 to that global
00:38:22.500 migration conference
00:38:23.800 also.
00:38:24.480 Now, if we do,
00:38:26.720 I'm going to have
00:38:27.580 to rely on our viewers
00:38:28.800 to pay for it
00:38:30.320 because it's in Morocco,
00:38:31.800 which is actually
00:38:32.700 a good place for it.
00:38:33.540 So many of the migrants
00:38:34.180 come from North Africa
00:38:35.240 across the Mediterranean.
00:38:36.940 So we're going to have
00:38:37.660 to send a reporter,
00:38:40.360 a cameraman,
00:38:41.200 videographer, editor.
00:38:43.060 That's flights.
00:38:44.400 That's hotel.
00:38:45.560 And there's probably
00:38:46.300 some sort of fee
00:38:47.980 and obviously food
00:38:49.440 and stuff.
00:38:50.160 So it would not surprise
00:38:51.660 me if the cost
00:38:52.680 of doing that
00:38:53.540 would be $5,000
00:38:54.560 to $10,000.
00:38:55.560 And obviously,
00:38:56.020 we just don't have
00:38:56.440 the dough,
00:38:57.240 but if we can
00:38:59.240 get our ducks
00:39:00.280 in a row,
00:39:00.960 I will come back
00:39:02.200 to you and other viewers
00:39:03.280 and say,
00:39:03.700 do you want us
00:39:04.560 to be the only
00:39:06.260 skeptical reporter
00:39:07.180 at the UN Migration
00:39:08.260 Conference,
00:39:08.920 just like we're
00:39:09.620 the only skeptical
00:39:10.320 reporter who goes
00:39:11.900 to the Global
00:39:13.180 Warming Conference?
00:39:13.860 And I believe
00:39:14.500 that our people
00:39:15.140 will say yes.
00:39:15.940 I hope so,
00:39:16.660 because if we decide
00:39:18.600 to do it,
00:39:18.980 it's going to cost
00:39:19.440 us some dough.
00:39:19.920 So thank you for the tip.
00:39:21.300 It was not on my radar
00:39:22.200 scheme,
00:39:22.500 but you put it there
00:39:23.160 and hopefully I'll have
00:39:24.060 news for you
00:39:24.680 maybe even as soon
00:39:25.640 as this week.
00:39:27.100 Well, folks,
00:39:27.840 that is the end
00:39:29.180 of our show today.
00:39:29.980 Thank you very much
00:39:30.580 for joining us.
00:39:31.440 Until tomorrow,
00:39:32.120 on behalf of all of us
00:39:32.840 here at Rebel World
00:39:33.440 Headquarters,
00:39:34.320 to you at home,
00:39:35.600 good night,
00:39:36.960 and keep fighting
00:39:37.580 for freedom.
00:39:38.040 Thank you.
