Tonight, why is Justin Trudeau illegally hiding his dealings with billionaire George Soros?
00:00:06.180
It's January 10th, and this is The Ezra LeVance Show.
00:00:10.840
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:14.640
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:18.740
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it
00:00:30.000
So what is the relationship between George Soros, the ultra-rich globalist speculator,
00:00:40.920
But what official business does Trudeau do with Soros?
00:00:45.120
We filed an access to information request with a very specific question about that,
00:00:51.880
I'll show it to you in a moment, but let me give you some background first.
00:00:55.600
I'm not interested in their personal friendship.
00:01:00.580
I want to know what role Soros plays in deciding Canadian government policy,
00:01:07.240
Polls show that Canadian citizens don't determine that policy.
00:01:11.980
According to Angus Reid, 80% of Canadians either want immigration to be kept where it is or reduced,
00:01:17.880
but Trudeau and his immigration minister, Ahmed Hassan,
00:01:21.100
have announced that they planted jacked numbers up radically
00:01:23.800
to more than a million new immigrants over the next three years.
00:01:27.500
Almost half of whom, by the way, will not be economically useful in Canada.
00:01:34.240
They'll be refugees or other drains on our social services.
00:01:39.720
I think Trudeau and Hassan are trying to recreate the mess that Angela Merkel has made in Europe.
00:01:44.620
They're trying to recreate the mess at the U.S.-Mexico border.
00:01:49.380
They're doing the same at our own border between Quebec and New York,
00:01:56.640
including criminals and bogus refugees who have already been denied refugee status by U.S. lawmakers.
00:02:05.140
Angus Reid says only 6% of Canadians want increased immigration,
00:02:09.300
but that's what Trudeau and Hassan are going to give us anyways.
00:02:12.540
So it's obviously not the Canadian public that's making the decisions.
00:02:27.420
He was Trudeau's immigration minister back in 2016.
00:02:30.920
He was later sent to be Trudeau's ambassador to China.
00:02:34.300
Here he is as immigration minister telling the CBC state broadcaster that Trudeau was teaming up with George Soros.
00:02:42.340
We are having a joint initiative and tomorrow we will announce it between Canada, George Soros and the UNHCR.
00:02:52.580
And I know that George Soros is really interested in the whole refugee crisis.
00:02:59.100
And so it is normal for him to partner with us on this initiative.
00:03:11.020
Canada, UNHCR and the Open Society Foundation seek to increase refugee resettlement through private sponsorship.
00:03:18.580
Let me read the first line from the press release to you.
00:03:21.400
The government of Canada, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Open Society Foundations,
00:03:28.240
have agreed to launch a joint initiative aimed at increasing private sponsorship of refugees around the world.
00:03:35.080
Now, if that's all this was, promoting private refugee sponsorship instead of government refugee sponsorship,
00:03:42.660
I mean, that means local churches could sponsor Christian refugees who were fleeing ISIS ethnic cleansing, for example.
00:03:48.760
And that local church would be committed to paying the costs of the refugee.
00:03:53.940
And probably most important, there will be real live Canadians in the community who would take a personal stake in making sure those refugees are integrated,
00:04:02.380
that they learn English, that they get a job, that they don't go on welfare, that they don't get into crime, that they don't go hive off into a ghetto.
00:04:15.460
Just three months later, Trudeau had capped the number of private, that is mainly Christian refugees, at just 1,000.
00:04:29.700
How is that not better than government refugees in every way?
00:04:33.820
Well, they were Christians, and Trudeau has always hated Christian refugees.
00:04:37.380
But let me show you one detail in that Trudeau-Soros press release that hasn't been cancelled.
00:04:47.460
See, besides promoting private refugee sponsorship, that Trudeau almost immediately restricted,
00:05:14.460
That's not feeding or clothing people fleeing a war zone anymore.
00:05:35.980
This is from 2015, when he was really pushing, actually, millions of Turks and Syrians and Afghans
00:05:45.920
But look at the countless grants to migrant lobby groups and NGOs,
00:05:52.640
to journalists to write pro-immigration commentaries,
00:06:00.400
to lobby groups, to lobby politicians, to youth groups, to pollsters, to advocates,
00:06:17.820
And a big theme of those grants is to rebrand any opposition to mass immigration as Islamophobia.
00:06:31.580
Is Soros paying Trudeau, or maybe paying the Trudeau Foundation,
00:06:38.300
Because Trudeau seems to be following the Soros playbook.
00:06:42.180
Trudeau and Ahmed Hassan just signed on to the United Nations Global Compact for Migration,
00:06:47.780
and that creates a counterfeit human right for foreigners to immigrate.
00:06:51.600
The word right, or rights, is in the document more than 100 times.
00:06:59.000
Promote independent, objective, and quality reporting of media outlets, including internet-based information,
00:07:06.500
including by sensitizing and educating media professionals on migration-related issues and terminology,
00:07:13.020
investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising,
00:07:16.460
and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance,
00:07:24.060
xenophobia, racism, and other forms of discrimination towards migrants in full respect for freedom of the media.
00:07:29.560
So reward journalists who promote mass migration, punish journalists that don't starve them of resources,
00:07:39.620
denounce them, defame them, marginalize them, call them racist or whatever.
00:07:46.400
Trudeau just set up a $595 million bailout fund for journalists, but only for journalists he says he can trust.
00:07:53.300
And they're now officially attacking journalists who are off-message, too.
00:07:58.940
Trudeau and Hassan are actually reading from the exact same script on that.
00:08:04.080
It is disappointing to see the conservatives and the member opposites engage in peddling rebel media conspiracy theories.
00:08:15.220
It is disappointing to see the conservatives engage in peddling rebel media conspiracy theories.
00:08:20.940
They're actors. They're puppets. I wonder who wrote that script.
00:08:44.580
Was that the third point in the deal between Trudeau and Soros' Open Societies Foundation?
00:08:56.380
I showed you the press release. You heard John McCallum.
00:08:59.460
Right after his election, Justin Trudeau flew down to New York to sit at Soros' Open.
00:09:06.820
The master, the father on the left, and the good boy on the right.
00:09:14.060
We know about some of their meetings, because in this case Trudeau tweeted the picture of it.
00:09:18.960
We probably don't know about all of their meetings, though.
00:09:21.720
I mean, remember when Justin Trudeau tried to keep his secret visits to a private island in the Bahamas,
00:09:29.180
owned by another billionaire, the Aga Khan, tried to keep him secret.
00:09:32.200
Trudeau took enormously expensive gifts from that billionaire.
00:09:37.960
He tried to keep it a secret from the public, even breaking the law to do so.
00:09:41.240
He was convicted, Trudeau was, four times a breaking, the Conflict of Interest Act,
00:09:46.160
the first sitting prime minister to be convicted of that offense ever.
00:09:50.240
Trudeau keeps many of his controversial meetings secret.
00:09:52.920
Like when he met with that Taliban sympathizer, Joshua Boyle.
00:09:55.880
We only learned about that because Boyle bragged about it with this Twitter tweet.
00:10:05.360
I'm not surprised. Same thing with George Soros.
00:10:07.140
Here's George Soros' son and his political heir, Alexander Soros, meeting with Ahmed Hassan.
00:10:14.900
I don't know if we would have seen that photo unless Soros bragged about it.
00:10:19.500
George Soros isn't like most political activists or mega donors.
00:10:23.140
He's pretty much as big as every other political donor combined.
00:10:31.440
And so he collects people, like playthings, especially politicians.
00:10:34.900
In fact, you could even say he collects countries.
00:10:45.620
He boasts of spending $32 billion so far in political activism.
00:10:54.420
I'm sure some of it has gone to genuine charity.
00:10:58.680
But most of it is, in Soros' own words, about changing the system.
00:11:02.680
I think it's fair to say that George Soros hates the West.
00:11:09.600
Although he was born Jewish, he detests Israel.
00:11:13.180
And he has said that he doesn't like Judaism and the religion.
00:11:17.260
They actually changed their family name from Schwartz to a made-up named Soros.
00:11:21.640
Soros himself has profited mightily off of capitalism and freedom.
00:11:28.000
I don't even really think you could call Soros a capitalist, even though he's a multi-multi-billionaire.
00:11:34.300
A capitalist is someone who builds things, you know, like an oil man or a real estate tycoon, someone who makes factories.
00:11:43.480
He made a lot of his money betting against the British pound back in 1992.
00:11:48.560
He crashed the market, devalued the currency that threw millions of British people into poverty and unemployment.
00:12:01.920
He was a teenager in Hungary when the Nazis invaded.
00:12:04.920
And he actually ran errands for the invading Nazis, not for the resistance.
00:12:10.560
According to his authorized biography, he hand-delivered death summonses to the Jews in town for the Nazis.
00:12:18.560
To tell those Jews to report to the trains where the Nazis would send them to their deaths.
00:12:22.720
Now, he was a teenager back then, and his father told him to do it.
00:12:26.260
His father actually handed Soros off to a Nazi enforcer who went around Hungary with George Soros.
00:12:34.040
Soros was pretending to be a non-Jewish teenager.
00:12:37.000
And that Nazi expropriated property from the Jews in Hungary.
00:12:40.220
Now, you might not blame a teenager who was in a wartime, who was told by his father just to do that, do whatever it takes to survive.
00:12:49.720
But what I find so telling about Soros' character, his morality, is not what he did as a teenager under duress.
00:12:57.160
But his reflections on it decades later, as a grown man, when he was asked about it on the show 60 Minutes.
00:13:06.380
He actually once said that it was the most exciting time of his life.
00:13:19.240
Maybe as a child, you don't see the connection.
00:13:30.920
For example, that I'm Jewish and here I am watching these people go, I could just as easily be there.
00:13:40.760
Well, of course, I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away.
00:13:49.740
But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there.
00:13:59.840
Yeah, so that's George Soros, a Nazi collaborator in his teens.
00:14:08.080
But as a grown man, he was just fine with that.
00:14:13.320
He's a speculator who games the financial system to enrich himself by impoverishing others.
00:14:24.080
And now he's in the business of renting or buying politicians.
00:14:28.140
So has he collected Justin Trudeau into his politician collection?
00:14:35.280
We sent a simple letter to the Immigration Department of Canada under the Access to Information Law.
00:14:41.120
We sent them that Government of Canada press release, the one I read to you, that described
00:14:51.800
And then we sent the link to the press release that I showed you earlier.
00:15:19.080
And they wrote back, and they said, following a thorough search of our information holdings,
00:15:26.060
I regret to inform you that no records were found that respond to your request.
00:15:32.240
And it was signed by Michelle Dunn, Assistant Director, Complex and Sensitive Issues Unit,
00:15:40.760
Corporate Affairs, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.
00:15:48.780
Now, if you want to read that letter, we've posted the whole thing on our website.
00:15:55.440
Do you believe there was not a single record, not a single piece of paper, not a single email,
00:16:01.140
not a single memo, not a single scheduler in the calendar, that there was nothing,
00:16:06.600
no records whatsoever of that meeting, other than the website and, I guess,
00:16:12.100
the immigration minister going on TV about it, but nothing, really.
00:16:18.480
The government can't do anything without a dozen bureaucrats being involved,
00:16:21.440
without forms being filled out in quintuplicate.
00:16:35.500
We filed another similar request for any correspondence, any communications between the Canadian government
00:16:57.980
If he is untroubled about his role in sending his fellow Hungarian Jews to their deaths on behalf of the Nazis,
00:17:05.000
as we saw in that 60 Minutes clip, he surely doesn't mind lying to reporters.
00:17:19.860
You can't even call it a refusal, since they're saying they don't even have any info.
00:17:23.900
They're not saying we have it, but we refuse to give it to you.
00:17:34.500
They lied about Justin Trudeau's vacation to Billionaire Island.
00:17:49.500
What exactly is George Soros' role in the government?
00:18:04.340
We know that Trudeau clamped down on private refugees.
00:18:12.240
Is the Trudeau-Husson campaign to smear any critics as Islamophobes?
00:18:30.460
If there are relevant records, we as citizens have the right to be told that.
00:18:37.520
And unless there is a special exemption, for example, for national security,
00:18:52.620
If Stephen Harper had signed an agreement and told the world he was working, let's say,
00:18:57.460
on, I don't know, oil and gas policy, pipeline policy, oil sands, with some American billionaire,
00:19:04.400
And if Stephen Harper would have said, sorry, guys, there's no records to show you, sorry
00:19:10.720
And of course, they'd be right if that had happened.
00:19:12.420
But it's Trudeau and it's George Soros and it's in support of mass immigration and the media
00:19:19.740
is now on Trudeau's payroll and it seems a few of them might even be on Soros' payroll
00:19:27.900
So yeah, I'm guessing that this video you're watching of me right now is the only place
00:19:54.940
Well, the American Psychological Association is a very political organization, but I'm sure
00:20:03.580
They have come up with new clinical guidelines for how to handle a pathology called being
00:20:15.820
Joining me now via Skype from Montreal is our friend Barbara Kay, who's a columnist for
00:20:26.220
The American Psychological Association, I suppose it's like the Canadian Bar Association.
00:20:30.900
It claims to be a professional group, but it's really a lobby group, a political group.
00:20:37.600
Tell me a little bit about their new practice guidelines for how to deal with toxic masculinity.
00:20:45.580
Well, first I should say that it's more than a lobby group.
00:20:48.340
It has 117,500 members in the United States, and most of them are practicing psychologists.
00:20:57.840
It means that literally hundreds of thousands, millions potentially of men and women going
00:21:04.640
in for treatment to help with personal problems are going to be treated as though they are
00:21:12.820
representatives of their gender, and the psychologists are going to take a very collectivist
00:21:20.720
So the guidelines are basically—and by the way, I did write an article about this, but
00:21:25.200
I also looked at their 2007 guidelines on treating women and girls, very different kettle of fish.
00:21:30.640
But to go back to what they—for the first time, they've just published the guidelines
00:21:34.620
for treating boys and men, and they describe what they call traditional masculinity, and they
00:21:45.040
describe traditional masculinity not as a set of characteristics that are inherently male.
00:21:50.800
Well, they describe them characteristics like stoicism, high achievement or trying for high
00:22:02.560
They describe all these characteristics not as, well, this is how boys are, but as an ideology,
00:22:10.800
an ideology that is known as traditional masculinity.
00:22:14.760
You know, to me, when I saw that, I said to myself, well, to psychologists, traditional
00:22:21.240
masculinity is basically what the deplorables are to politics.
00:22:26.860
You know, this is—they don't like the way boys and men are, and they assume that, you know,
00:22:35.780
these qualities are part of an ideology rather than, okay, boys are more physical than girls,
00:22:44.720
they're more aggressive, they're more stoic, yes, that's true, they're more achievement-oriented
00:22:51.040
or aggression-oriented, competitive, yes, certainly very competitive.
00:22:55.660
All these qualities, we find them to be wonderful when we need firefighters to run up, you know,
00:23:02.760
30 or 40 or 50 floors of a burning building, and we think they're wonderful when the Titanic's
00:23:08.920
going down and, you know, it's women and children first, or when they're in combat in defense of
00:23:15.140
We like these qualities of competitiveness and stoicism and aggression and all that.
00:23:19.680
But, you know, the APA, the American Psychological Association, isn't thinking of all the good
00:23:29.860
When they look at men, all they can see is a problem, a problem for women, a problem for
00:23:35.500
homosexuals, a problem for transgender people, you know, they see them as kind of a problem
00:23:44.180
that needs to be fixed in terms of their general characteristics.
00:23:48.480
Yeah, you know, it reminds me of a few things, if I may.
00:23:51.160
I mean, first of all, thank you for giving us that summary.
00:23:53.960
It reminds me of the fad, which I suppose still continues, of saying that young kids,
00:23:59.080
especially young boys, have attention deficit disorders, put them on Ritalin, medicate them,
00:24:04.080
instead of letting them go outside, run around, and be active and have physical education,
00:24:09.860
to try and say, well, that's an ideological problem, or being male is an ideological problem.
00:24:16.800
Being boys is an ideological or a medical problem.
00:24:20.680
And to call it ideological is to imply that it's not natural, and it's a choice and a negative
00:24:33.640
There's this new attempt to normalize being super fat.
00:24:37.280
Now, I shouldn't talk because I am fat, but this fat acceptance, this put a super fat model
00:24:47.080
on the cover of a magazine, to normalize through changing beauty standards what is unhealthy and
00:25:02.200
And saying that masculinity is a problem that needs to be fixed feels as fake as saying being
00:25:10.720
It seems like the whole practice of health care is completely corrupt and ideological now.
00:25:17.620
Yeah, look, you know, men do, I mean, if you take a lot of these characteristics that can
00:25:25.480
be very, very good and you take them and they are turned toward bad, then, yeah, aggression
00:25:35.780
A competitive can be overwhelming and it can be harmful to a man himself or to be too ambitious,
00:25:44.140
to be too stoic and never to seek, you know, help when it's needed.
00:25:49.280
I agree that all these things in extremes, they're not good for society, they're not good
00:25:56.420
But the APA is not saying that these are bad when they're extreme.
00:26:01.760
They're saying basically that they're bad in themselves, but they can be changed because
00:26:10.420
So all we have to do is recognize that we've been socially constructed in a bad way and change
00:26:18.500
it, basically, I think what they would like is for men to become more like women, you
00:26:23.840
know, and after all, they stress in their guidelines that gender today is so fluid, you know, after
00:26:32.620
all, we're all so, you know, non-binary is so in and we should accept that gender is on
00:26:43.680
a spectrum, so basically they're saying traditional masculinity is at one end of a spectrum that
00:26:50.040
is passe, it's over, and we have to, psychologists have to use their authority and their profession
00:27:00.960
to manipulate, it seems to me they don't use that word, manipulate their patients into accepting
00:27:11.160
So in addition, if somebody, if some male patient would come to a psychologist and say, I'm depressed
00:27:16.700
or I'm anxious, the psychologist should be encouraged by these guidelines to say to themselves,
00:27:23.340
well, let's talk about some of your traditional masculinity, you know, maybe that's the issue
00:27:30.180
You know, I've always been skeptical of psychology, I'll be candid with you.
00:27:33.400
I've always found it as politics or social engineering with a little bit of medical jargon
00:27:40.840
thrown in, that's my own biases, but just as this American Psychological Association is
00:27:48.080
attacking millennia of masculinity, there's a similar movement to destroy traditional concepts
00:27:58.200
of femininity, and let me point to a recent article in McLean's magazine that's trying
00:28:04.340
to stimulate moms to say, well, look at the headline right here, I regret having children
00:28:11.820
in pushing the boundaries of accepted maternal response.
00:28:15.260
Women are challenging an explosive taboo and reframing motherhood in the process.
00:28:22.000
They're literally trying to demonize the maternal aspects of being, they're trying to whip up women
00:28:34.100
So men are not supposed to be masculine, women are not supposed to be feminine, and it's,
00:28:41.260
I don't even know what the end game here, but the whole thing is, I don't want to use
00:28:46.620
a religious phrase like demonic or upside down or satanic.
00:28:50.540
Like that's, if you were religious, I think he would say those things, because it's so
00:28:56.680
Yeah, I think that McLean's, you know, which is, it seems to me that McLean's should take
00:29:04.400
a little more responsibility for the kinds of topics that they take on.
00:29:08.240
This regret motherhood feature article, it was a lot of bloviating about nothing.
00:29:16.180
There are women that do regret having children, we all know that, and some of them have good
00:29:22.880
reason, you know, circumstances of their life, or they have extremely difficult children,
00:29:27.860
or they have, you know, they're abandoned by fathers, they don't have any money.
00:29:33.220
Like, I can think of a hundred reasons why a mother might regret having had children.
00:29:37.880
But this idea that they regret having children because there was no reason in the first place
00:29:45.360
why they should have wanted children, in other words, that this idea that there's this maternal
00:29:50.800
urge to have children, that's all nonsense, that's social construction.
00:29:59.920
Look, if we weren't biologically kind of hardwired to want children, how would the human race survive?
00:30:09.340
I mean, Darwin would be rolling his eyes at the very idea that if left to their own devices,
00:30:16.900
women would have absolutely no interest in having children, or only a few of them would.
00:30:22.500
The whole article was so foolish and tried to make a big hype out of a few anecdotes, you know.
00:30:30.960
But what bothered me about that article was that the author was actually encouraging women
00:30:36.840
to overcome the taboo, not the taboo of not wanting children, but the taboo of not talking
00:30:43.000
So in fact, she was saying, you know, don't worry about how humiliating and awful it will
00:30:48.940
be for your children if you come forward and say, I regret having had them.
00:30:58.740
And it may encourage other women to think twice before having children or, you know,
00:31:05.040
to come up to the mic as well and say, I'm sorry I had my children.
00:31:09.340
I just read an article recently by a woman who said she regretted having her children,
00:31:15.120
and I happen to know that her children read that article and they were devastated by it.
00:31:22.020
If you regret having children, then tell your best friend or tell a therapist or tell your
00:31:35.460
There's something so fall of Rome about both of these issues, so decadent.
00:31:42.800
I mean, throughout the millennia, our ancestors, what they did to survive, whether, you know,
00:31:51.020
I guess you could go back prehistory, surviving the wilds of nature, the ice ages.
00:31:57.020
I mean, I'm not even going back before Homo sapiens, but think about, think about the last
00:32:02.580
few thousand years, what different peoples have survived, whether it was the Jews and
00:32:07.460
the Holocaust or the Armenians and their massacre or the Irish potato famine or the Second World
00:32:13.920
You know, the number of Russian men that were killed in the Second World War was like what,
00:32:21.600
The things that we survived, slavery, Kublai Khan or Genghis Khan, massive wars, the crusades,
00:32:32.700
but there was an urge to live and now in the lap of luxury and ease and complacency and plenty,
00:32:47.520
And it's cool for guys not to be masculine and girls not to be feminine and let's just
00:32:55.700
I think it has a kind of, there's an air of cultural suicide in speculating about these
00:33:02.760
things and in saying that it's a good thing to regret having children.
00:33:10.540
It's a life of enjoying yourself, yes, of career, wow, yeah, you know, traveling, all
00:33:20.340
But it's not exactly what you'd call a purpose-driven life unless, you know, you're a very extraordinary
00:33:28.920
individual, unless you have the talent of a Dostoevsky or a Michelangelo.
00:33:33.100
I mean, if you're an ordinary person and you have an ordinary job, where is your purpose
00:33:41.580
in life if not being part of the cycle of life?
00:33:46.320
And why would you encourage people to be a bystander to history?
00:33:54.060
But then you and I feel that life is worth living because our culture is worth, you know,
00:34:11.260
I never really studied it much in school, so I've tried to make up for it in my middle
00:34:19.860
He's got a book of sonnets, and I've read them many times, and I was surprised when I
00:34:27.280
first did that, to learn that the most numerous of the topics he covered was not romantic love.
00:34:38.580
The most numerous were him trying to convince his patron and friend to have kids.
00:34:45.840
And again and again and again, the sonnets are explaining to his 40-year-old bachelor friend
00:34:54.440
why he absolutely must have kids to be immortal, so that to see a version of yourself live when
00:35:04.760
you yourself are about to die, to always have springtime.
00:35:08.520
Like, the arguments he makes so beautifully and poetically in the form of the sonnet, written
00:35:14.120
400 and some years ago, are so perfect for today.
00:35:19.260
I just wanted to tell you that anecdote, that the number one thing Shakespeare wrote about
00:35:31.640
You know, I did not know that, because although I can't say I've read all of Shakespeare's
00:35:35.940
sonnets, because I haven't, even though literature was my thing, but poetry was never my favorite
00:35:44.840
I must go back and look at some of those sonnets.
00:35:49.360
And he's really, like, as you know, he had a patron, as any artist like that did.
00:35:53.380
And his patron sounds like he was just a man about London and just living the high life.
00:35:59.480
But Shakespeare was saying, you know, it's wintertime now, and you better get cracking.
00:36:04.940
I want to say one more thing about this, you know, men don't be masculine, women don't
00:36:15.500
That is simultaneously, you mentioned McLean's magazine, simultaneously they're disparaging
00:36:22.140
motherhood while they're saying, oh my God, we need to open up the borders to mass, mass,
00:36:26.980
mass immigration, because we're not having enough babies.
00:36:37.060
Now, you wrote a rebuttal to this McLean's article in the Post Millennial, which is a,
00:36:45.540
McLean's magazine encourages women to regret having children.
00:36:48.980
Now, that's one thing for some magazine to publish that.
00:36:53.520
But do you see this as getting any roots in psychology or ideology?
00:36:59.340
Do you see one day, you mentioned you read the guidelines from a dozen years ago, how
00:37:06.460
to treat women and girls from the American Psychological Association.
00:37:09.760
Are they as disparaging of femininity and motherhood as they are of masculinity?
00:37:16.820
And the reason I wanted to write about both the guidelines for the boys and men and the
00:37:22.120
girls and women is because they take quite a different tack.
00:37:25.520
When they look at the women, they do mention the fact that women have, and girls, have far
00:37:33.000
more psychological problems, or at least apparent ones, than boys.
00:37:38.000
They have much higher rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal ideation.
00:37:48.700
And so they are much more troubled on the surface, and they are much more in need of psychological
00:37:56.100
But they don't say that it's due to any kind of an ideology.
00:38:01.960
They imply, they more than imply, they pretty well say that it's due to society, social
00:38:13.660
I mean, they actually, I thought it was pretty funny.
00:38:16.960
They actually, they said things like the amount of abuse, violence, and rape in society may,
00:38:26.680
you know, that little weasel word, may, contribute, may contribute to eating disorders.
00:38:37.140
I mean, abuse, rape, violence in society is why, is why a 12-year-old girl would be starving
00:38:48.320
So, and then, you know, in my piece, I say, hey, how about if you examined the ideology
00:38:56.460
Could it be that that's making girls more anxious and, you know, more depressed because
00:39:01.480
feminism is asking from them stuff they don't really think is right for themselves, but that
00:39:09.220
they think they should do anyways because, you know, their educators are telling them that
00:39:14.380
they can have it all and that they should just keep experimenting sexually for years and
00:39:19.680
years and years and don't settle down with marriage?
00:39:21.720
Because that's, man, that's so patriarchal and, you know, all these things.
00:39:30.060
So basically, the guidelines for boys and men say boys need fixing because there's something
00:39:36.900
And the guidelines for girls and women say girls need sympathy and they need blame shifting.
00:39:44.120
It's not their fault that they're anxious, depressed, just, you know, all this stuff, none of it.
00:39:48.920
It's not their fault, it's not the result of poor choices, it's not the result of anything.
00:39:59.300
I understand you've got a piece in the National Post coming in either tonight or tomorrow on
00:40:15.060
And the first, I don't know, dozen sonnets are all about him telling his buddy, have kids
00:40:26.240
And you can interrupt me if you want, feel free.
00:40:30.560
Let not winter's ragged hand deface, in thee thy summer, ere thou be distilled.
00:40:38.900
Make sweet some vile, treasure thou some place, with beauty's treasure, ere it be self-killed.
00:40:44.340
So he's saying to his patron, you better replicate yourself.
00:40:51.280
That use is not forbidden usury, which happies those that pay the willing loan.
00:41:13.060
If ten of thine Thames refigured thee, then what could death do if thou shouldst depart,
00:41:24.540
I know this is dense Middle English, but here's the final couplet that'll tell you
00:41:30.900
Be not self-willed, for thou art much too fair to be death's conquest, and make worms thine
00:41:40.300
So that's one of his many arguments for having kids, is there's going to be nothing left of
00:41:49.140
Man, he's got gorgeous ones in there about seeing yourself young again in the face of
00:41:56.400
I really recommend to anyone who needs convincing.
00:42:00.700
Now, you've got to go slow because the language is archaic, but anywhere you can find translation
00:42:09.060
Shakespeare, I mean, he invented words, he captured things, but truly he understood what it meant
00:42:18.200
to be human more than anyone else I've ever heard of, perhaps since Jesus.
00:42:23.020
And the arguments he made why you should have kids, not biological arguments, but emotional,
00:42:32.340
moral, cultural reasons, I've never seen it better argued than he did 400 years ago.
00:42:49.920
Ezra, I think a lot of people would be very surprised to know that there is this side to
00:42:54.360
you, and I'm so pleased to be part of this broadcast.
00:42:59.940
My point is a lot of people would be surprised to know that's a side of Shakespeare, because
00:43:03.780
we just know that, you know, Shakespeare in love and Romeo and Juliet, or we know the brutal
00:43:08.100
violence of Macbeth, or the, I mean, Hamlet, what an amazing tale, but to know how hard he
00:43:16.300
pressed his friend to have kids, and the arguments he made, if you want to convince
00:43:21.120
someone to have kids, or get married even, Shakespeare's your tool.
00:43:55.200
I was trying to choose from amongst Shakespeare's 150 plus sonnets in real time while I was talking
00:44:05.520
I chose one where the English was a little bit hard to understand, and it wasn't a great
00:44:12.280
Seriously, you pick up that book of sonnets, you're probably thinking, oh, Shakespeare, it's
00:44:18.480
But the first dozen or so sonnets are him convincing his 40-year-old buddy, time to get hitched,
00:44:28.080
And he rolls out the most compelling arguments that Shakespeare can imagine, which I would
00:44:33.180
put to you are the most compelling arguments that have ever been made.
00:44:37.660
And I'm going to read to you sonnet number nine.
00:44:45.020
Sonnet number nine, is it for fear to wet a widow's eye that thou consumest thyself
00:44:56.440
You don't want to get married because you're worried that when you die, your wife will be
00:45:01.100
Ah, if thou issueless shall have to die, the world will wail thee like a makeless wife.
00:45:07.560
It means if you die without a kid, the entire world will weep for you like a matchless wife.
00:45:15.020
The world will be thy widow and still weep, that thou no form of thee hast left behind.
00:45:21.360
The entire world will be your widow because you haven't left anyone behind.
00:45:26.160
When every private widow may well keep, by children's eyes, her husband's shape and mind.
00:45:34.520
So when a woman becomes a widow, at least she can imagine her husband by looking at the kids
00:45:48.420
Shifts but his place, for still the world enjoys it.
00:46:08.560
That's that rhyming couplet that ends a sonnet.
00:46:11.940
I, I, that's, that is a powerful, you gotta read them all.
00:46:16.120
If there are any viewers left, I'll continue with my mail now.
00:46:29.900
That was a scathing monologue about Trudeau last night.
00:46:35.800
Kudos to our team, Martin and the rest of the crew here,
00:46:38.180
for putting together the fancy new graphics behind me.
00:46:41.140
As, as I said yesterday, it's not really like this steel and glass ultra studio
00:46:54.260
you will see a quick reversal to friendly relations with China.
00:46:57.560
This is an election year, and Xi wants Trudeau re-elected.
00:47:04.240
I, I wonder, you know, Canada has a strange trade relationship with China.
00:47:21.620
But, you know, the Northern Gateway Pipeline and the Trans Mountain Pipeline would have
00:47:27.340
Because we would have sold China, or Japan, Korea, Taiwan, whatever, billions of dollars
00:47:33.040
But Trudeau, ironically, has denied what the Chinese really want from Canada, oil.
00:47:47.900
I think the people behind the scenes are his China lobbyist.
00:47:51.460
The Desmarais family, Jean Chrétien, Peter Harder in the Senate.
00:47:55.460
I think that, I think that there's other things we don't even see.
00:47:59.080
I pointed out yesterday that Jean Chrétien went to work with the Chinese five weeks after
00:48:06.600
On my interview with Joel Pollack, Jean writes,
00:48:10.820
I would rather Alberta give money to Trump for the wall in exchange for a pipeline.
00:48:15.480
You know, I saw your note, Jean, and I thought, that is a bloody great idea.
00:48:20.080
Donald Trump is having this big wrestle with the Democrats in Congress over $5 billion for
00:48:26.400
Now, that's U.S. money, so that's about seven and a half Canadian if I'm doing it in my head.
00:48:32.240
Well, but I would put it to you that Alberta loses that multiple times a year in lost investment.
00:48:40.980
And look, Trudeau foolishly buying the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline for $4.5 billion.
00:48:47.700
Really, for an extra couple bills, we could say, hey, Donald, here's your southern wall,
00:48:57.200
I put it to you that Donald Trump will be the only person who built a pipeline to Alberta
00:49:01.240
until Rachel Notley is gone, and the Premier Horgan of B.C. is gone, and Justin Trudeau
00:49:12.060
So yeah, Donald Trump is Alberta's only friend when it comes to pipelines.
00:49:16.960
I mean, Ontario, under Doug Ford, is nice, but he can't get it done.
00:49:21.380
Well, folks, what do you think of my Soros monologue?
00:49:24.200
I think it was stunning that the government of Canada says, oh, we don't have any records.
00:49:28.260
You have this whole joint initiative with the most paperworky government around,
00:49:32.500
and they don't have a single stitch, a stitch of paper.
00:49:39.180
I'm not optimistic that we'll hear anything back before the election, are you?
00:49:44.200
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,
