tonight i finally did it my sit-down interview one-on-one with here builders the winner of the
00:00:20.760
dutch parliamentary elections it's november 30th and this is the ezra levant show
00:00:31.720
oh hi there ezra levant here again uh we landed in amsterdam we drove down to the hague which is the
00:00:47.140
capital city of the netherlands and i'm standing in front of a building called the tweed kammer
00:00:53.080
which is a dutch way of saying the second house the second chamber this is their parliament this is
00:00:57.740
where here builders has been a member of parliament for years toiling away in obscurity and frankly
00:01:04.960
i i never thought in a million years he would actually win the dutch elections and i'm not sure
00:01:12.540
if he thought he would too obviously he hoped he would and he was working for that result
00:01:16.140
but it was like a thunderclap and he even even he seemed surprised by the massive result
00:01:22.160
look at this short video he tweeted on election night i think he was truly startled by the results
00:01:29.800
well the thing is because of their electoral system i think it's a kind of proportional representation
00:01:40.320
there are a ton of little parties here it's not like our canadian first past the post system
00:01:46.400
it really weeds out small parties like the green party or the people's party here every faction has
00:01:54.020
its representation so the idea of one party getting an absolute majority in the tweed kammer
00:02:00.660
is extremely unlikely now here builders has by far the largest party but he needs to make a coalition
00:02:07.440
with other parties we're going to see here builders tonight we're staying at a hotel right across from
00:02:14.020
a restaurant where he's having a meeting with people who are against open borders migration or
00:02:19.240
asylum seekers as they're called here i'm going to talk to him i'm going to catch up with him i haven't
00:02:23.520
talked to him in a few years since i interviewed him here in the tweed kammer it's an interesting
00:02:28.380
building it's a unusual architecture it is extremely high security even coming here you can see these
00:02:35.360
enormous steel barriers there's a there's a police vehicle here uh i know that because i was in there
00:02:44.040
and and there was a security threat to here builders when i was here last time and he was in a special
00:02:51.680
room that was guarded the man lives under 24 7 guards in fact we were at the hotel we put our stuff that
00:03:01.840
we're only in the netherlands for 25 hours if you can believe it it's a real whistle stop tour so we
00:03:06.880
put our stuff in the hotel out a quick shower because the night flight uh we scoped out the
00:03:11.920
restaurant where the meeting's gonna meet and then we came down here to the tweed kammer even as we were
00:03:16.100
leaving the hotel it dawned on me there was an enormous number of security there and they and it's not a
00:03:22.160
fancy hotel it's a it's a fairly rundown hotel actually but all these security i said what's this
00:03:28.580
security for they asked for our room key they were there securing the venue because here builders is
00:03:34.200
coming and then as we were leaving a bunch of police arrived and we're liaising with the security
00:03:38.740
and it reminded me that here builders moves with about 10 special secret service cops at all times
00:03:46.900
and think about that they probably have three shifts a day right so and then and then they have
00:03:52.760
replacements and people on vacation you have command centers and you have advanced teams like we saw
00:03:57.400
there today there's got to be 50 people working full-time just protecting here builders from death
00:04:05.320
threats and it's not an idle thing i don't know if you know the name uh teo van gogh uh it's pronounced
00:04:12.760
slightly different with the proper dutch pronunciation i'm not going to try uh he was i think the great
00:04:17.860
grandson or a descendant of vincent van gogh the famous dutch painter and artist he was a filmmaker
00:04:24.460
who with ayan hersey ali made a film criticizing the role of women in islam the movie was called
00:04:32.280
submission he was murdered he was assassinated and ayan hersey ali who was born in somalia
00:04:40.420
rebelled against islam came to holland actually sat in parliament and take a look at some of these guys
00:04:47.860
just walking by and then there's some more armed police over there sorry i was just mid-story but
00:04:56.640
would you agree with me this is a heavily armed uh heavily guarded area anyway back to the story about
00:05:02.960
tail van gogh assassinated and ayan hersey ali who was an mp here as well eventually left the country
00:05:10.680
in large part because of security threats that's not the only one there was a politician here in the
00:05:17.460
netherlands named pimfort town and he was he would describe himself as flamboyantly gay he would drive
00:05:25.680
around in the limousine with a little lapdog and he was very very gay that was part of his political
00:05:31.060
identity and that's what made him critical of islam because one of the core tenets of islam is sexual
00:05:37.380
modesty obviously homosexuality is punishable by death and there's other issues as well like women
00:05:43.540
having to be covered women not being able to go out without a guardian or a husband or a father
00:05:49.380
and and so pimfort town was assassinated tail van gogh was assassinated and so now here builders himself
00:05:57.060
has a serious retinue of bodyguards at all times and like i say when i was visiting here years ago
00:06:04.800
there was a security threat apparently one of his bodyguards tipped off someone about his planned
00:06:10.600
whereabouts and that put the whole place under lockdown my interview with him was almost canceled
00:06:15.220
and we have to have it in a high security room that's what life is like when you criticize islam
00:06:21.240
and it's one of the reasons why across the west people are afraid i think back a few days ago when
00:06:27.020
tommy robinson in the united kingdom was arrested by police just for being there he was there at the
00:06:33.980
anti the march against anti-semitism in the streets of london and the police just picked him up and
00:06:38.700
carted him off and pepper sprayed him in the face for good measure and they did that because they
00:06:43.420
knew there would not be riots they knew there would not be bombings whereas people who walk the streets
00:06:49.420
of london with extremely anti-semitic jihadist comments the police don't dare touch them because
00:06:55.560
they they know there would quite likely be a violent reaction so the actual fear of murder is very real
00:07:02.840
and i think far more pervasive especially in places like canada is the fear of being called
00:07:09.020
racist itself i've told you before about the city of rotherham in the united kingdom city of about a
00:07:15.000
quarter million people where 1400 young women were raped in a city of 250 000 1400 were raped and not
00:07:24.040
just once they were raped again and again by what are called rape gangs or grooming gangs and this was
00:07:30.340
over a course of years and this was almost immediately known to people in rotherham to
00:07:36.500
social workers to police to emergency rooms in the hospitals to parents to the media to politicians but
00:07:43.380
everyone kept it a secret no one talked about it because everyone was afraid of being called racist and
00:07:50.260
again that's not my theory there was a commission of inquiry into how did how did 1400 girls get raped
00:07:57.380
in a town the size of rotherham and again and again everyone said they were afraid of being called
00:08:04.180
racist if they spoke out about him so imagine the fear of being called racist plus the fear of
00:08:10.820
actually being assassinated here builders has stood up to both of those fears for really two decades
00:08:16.980
um in constant physical danger and obviously politically denounced he was prosecuted
00:08:23.140
by the dutch prosecutors he was charged with crimes for insulting islam in the end he appealed and won those
00:08:32.020
but not before going through years of persecution at the hands of the government a government that he
00:08:39.940
now is poised to lead if he can because that's one of the most interesting things about the netherlands
00:08:47.860
is until recently it was governed by a absolute role model world economic forum young leader mark
00:08:55.220
ruta sort of like um justin trudeau in canada sort of like leo varadkar in ireland just the total globalist
00:09:02.820
global warming enthusiast feminist um anti-industrialist open borders extremist for the netherlands to go from
00:09:11.220
mark ruta to hurt builders is whiplash and it's not just whiplash so much turns on him and that's why
00:09:20.740
the political establishment would do anything it can to deny hurt builders his electoral win it's one
00:09:26.580
of the things i want to talk to him about tonight when hopefully we see him at that restaurant we scoped
00:09:31.140
out earlier in the day hey i just want to practice my dutch with you one time i we're in an interesting
00:09:36.580
place downtown you can see the national bibliotheque i'm pronouncing that wrong of course you surely
00:09:43.860
can guess that means the national library um it's celebrating 225 years these things are easy to read
00:09:50.660
there's the kinder book and museum my guess is that means the uh the kids the museum of children's books
00:09:56.980
and there's a literature museum do you see that up there and then there's a word i've been practicing over and
00:10:02.340
over and over again because you do not want to say this wrong the netherlands institute for
00:10:08.180
kunstgeschiedenis my friends you do not want to mispronounce that word all right i'll come back to
00:10:14.900
you uh with more from the heart of the netherlands here in the hague
00:10:27.620
oh hi everybody i know i'm looking a little bit scruffy i confess that we've actually been
00:10:36.420
trapped at the amsterdam amsterdam airport for 24 hours it's a it's not a bad airport to be stuck in
00:10:43.540
for 24 hours but frankly no airport is a good place to be stuck in for 24 hours but it was worth it
00:10:50.020
the reason we were stuck is a series of delays that happened because we jammed in a one-on-one
00:10:56.740
interview with clear builders the new uh winner of the dutch parliamentary elections a week ago
00:11:02.420
as you know i bumped into him at an event in the hague when he was attending a talent hall meeting
00:11:08.980
against asylum seekers that's what they call migrants here i talked to him for only about a
00:11:14.580
minute or so in that outdoors scrum where there were a ton of well-wishers and other journalists
00:11:21.300
but afterwards i connected with his press secretary to arrange something more formal just a reminder
00:11:27.060
here's how that two-minute scrum went it was exciting to see him again you remember he says
00:11:31.780
i've known you for years he recognized me i had been um talking to him by twitter direct message
00:11:37.620
so he he was sort of surprised to see me there but not totally surprised here's that scrum just for one
00:11:43.300
minute what's your message to supporters in canada the united states and places like that jeff
00:11:48.180
encouraging words for them yes of course we had a fantastic result of the elections we were by far
00:11:54.900
the biggest winner and party in the netherlands today which proves that um it is possible you
00:12:00.820
know we know each other for quite some time and um it is a tough fight it is a long fight you need to
00:12:07.060
have some perseverance and um everybody tries to work against you in a way but at the end of the day
00:12:13.780
and if you keep on trying and and and talking about the right issues like asylum immigration
00:12:20.340
national sovereignty and and people will respond to it and they did
00:12:32.900
so that's that's actually the the the positive message i have uh today it's possible everything is
00:12:38.420
possible have you received support from leaders in other countries yes of course i did from many
00:12:44.100
countries leaders from parliament ministers and even some presidents and so so i got some some
00:12:51.700
support and people were very happy sometimes surprised and it was a shock not only in holland
00:12:57.620
but certainly and the rest of the european union as well and i think that's good you know it's not the
00:13:02.020
elite who decides everything and all the way until the end of time we can change reality we can we can
00:13:08.900
fight for freedom and we can we can win this is the message we can win and i hope i i gave some some
00:13:15.780
some incentives to others to continue to struggle because everybody can do it as long as you keep on
00:13:20.100
trying thank you for your time i mean that was exciting and it was good to get those basic questions
00:13:26.260
answered but those weren't particularly deep questions or deep answers but i was able to secure
00:13:32.660
a one-on-one meeting in the trade cover which means second chamber that's their parliament buildings the
00:13:39.380
next morning now he's so busy with his coalition negotiations and press and and he really is the
00:13:46.900
leading man in the netherlands these days so we were only allotted i think it was 17 minutes but i feel
00:13:54.660
like i managed to cover a lot of ground and that you know me when i interview people sometimes i tend
00:14:00.980
to say blah blah blah blah blah blah blah don't you think that's not a real way of interviewing someone
00:14:06.580
i had to restrain myself to get maximum words from him he's the newsmaker but i did have certain issues
00:14:13.140
in mind anyways without further ado here is my 17-minute interview with here builders the leader of the party
00:14:21.380
for freedom the winner of last week's parliamentary elections here in the netherlands
00:14:30.900
first of all congratulations you looked genuinely surprised by uh the result yes i i was not in a way
00:14:38.500
that we um won some parliamentary seats but you know i hoped and i predicted that if we went from 17
00:14:45.620
to 25 we would have an excellent result but it was not 25 or 37 you know one out of four dutchmen voted
00:14:51.540
for my party which was an earthquake and a dutch and maybe also european politics so so so of course
00:14:59.300
i'm i'm very pleased and grateful to all those dutch uh citizens and voters almost two and a half million
00:15:05.380
people who um dutchman who votes for my party and that's that's an enormous compliment now it looks like
00:15:11.380
uh there are a number of other parties whose voters tell pollsters they want them to form a coalition
00:15:18.020
with you but it looks like some of the opposition parties don't want to do a coalition looks like they
00:15:22.420
want to sort of deny the results of the election how's that going yeah we are now in the process of um
00:15:30.420
talking um um about this issue in parliament and um you are totally right um if you look at the four
00:15:38.340
parties that i think is possible to form a coalition with the conservative liberal party
00:15:44.260
the farmer party and the new party of peter omtzigt the four of us would have a big majority in parliament
00:15:51.220
and more than 80 sometimes even 90 percent of the voters of all those four parties want us to work
00:15:58.980
together and still it's not automatically in a normal situation or country we would have almost
00:16:06.180
formed the government already but some of those parties are hesitant you know and some because
00:16:12.260
they have lost the elections believe that it's not their place now um to to govern whether that's
00:16:17.300
a real reason or not that's what they're saying others because they believe that some points out of
00:16:22.660
our party program against islamization are against our constitution and they don't want to work with
00:16:29.300
the party who works against the constitution so so it's it's not automatically so i have to do my best
00:16:35.380
best to at least uh get those four parties around the table and talk to one another it will probably
00:16:42.180
take time um and i hope that that will be the result and that not um other parties will take the
00:16:50.180
initiative and indeed as you said steal those elections away from us and it's not that far yet it's a
00:16:56.100
possibility but i'm still um hopeful that um we have a chance to uh to form a coalition in the government
00:17:04.100
you have a lot of ideas that you stood for over the years on immigration on islam on a brexit for
00:17:09.940
the netherlands uh obviously in any compromise or coalition there would be some high priorities and
00:17:16.340
other things that you would maybe do later have you thought about have you expressed what your absolute
00:17:22.740
priorities are that are non-negotiable and other things that are maybe less important
00:17:26.340
of course um you're totally right in in in holland uh unlike uh the united states or the united
00:17:32.180
kingdom um we don't have a two-party system we have a multi-party system we have something like 20
00:17:36.580
parties in parliament today and to get a majority um you need to compromise you cannot make sure that
00:17:43.380
your whole party program will be um the government program it's impossible if you if you aim for that
00:17:48.820
you will always be in the opposition so i have to compromise and it's a very good question what are our
00:17:52.900
priorities our first priority is uh to to to cut back in the enormous figures when it comes to
00:17:59.460
immigration and asylum seekers you know it's it's holland cannot face it anymore the european union
00:18:05.140
cannot face it anymore all the measures that that that the european union as a collective is making are
00:18:11.060
totally ineffective and we have um and we are overcrowded and and and the people are fed up with it
00:18:17.220
so the first thing is that we should take measures to stop the uh influx of so many asylum seekers and
00:18:24.100
non-western immigrants this is my first priority second priority is that um people feel that they
00:18:30.340
are totally interjected the dutchmen the indigenous people they believe that while we spent 60 17 billion
00:18:38.180
euros a year when it comes to a nitrogen or a climate change or all those other things that um um they
00:18:47.460
are have trouble um paying there for their utilities the rent uh the gasoline for their car um um the the
00:18:55.380
the social security or the the health care system so we believe that we should stop um feeding those
00:19:01.940
leftish liberal ideological nonsense issues and we should more um make sure that our people have
00:19:08.740
enough money in their pocket and really can can help our economy and help themselves so those issues
00:19:15.060
are the two most important stop the immigration and asylum seeking be proud of our own identity culture
00:19:24.180
and everything that goes with that and make sure that we make better choices with the euros that we have
00:19:29.940
don't spend it to africa don't spend it to um other countries in the european union as a transfer union
00:19:36.340
that we almost have in the euro zone don't spend it on nitrogen and other issues give our own people
00:19:42.820
their money back with lower taxes and lower burdens for the dutch you're not the prime minister yet and i
00:19:50.180
imagine some world leaders would wait until you have that position before congratulating you but you did win
00:19:56.740
the election with an enormous number have any world leaders publicly congratulated you or wished you
00:20:03.780
well uh or how have other world leaders treated you since the election well um i get more um invitations
00:20:12.020
are um um nice messages than i ever had before i don't know whether they are public so i should be
00:20:18.900
careful what i say but for instance from israel i got from ministers minister foreign affairs minister of
00:20:25.460
intelligence uh who uh people from likut who invited me and congratulated me i had a fun conversation
00:20:32.020
with victor orban who called me i know i'm already for a long time so but but still who called me and
00:20:37.540
congratulated me there were politicians from from from from from from all over the world from south
00:20:42.740
america to america who um public or not public did that and i mean it is it's really news you know you see
00:20:50.980
that in europe it was unexpected that um so many people would vote against the sitting elite you know
00:20:59.780
they didn't expect it they are not prepared for it they are in panic now in brussels for instance for
00:21:04.420
what should we do if this guy would get to power you know and this is also um what makes it more
00:21:10.420
difficult today to form a coalition in the netherlands so i have to be responsible i have to be able to
00:21:15.940
compromise i have to to to to to to to make sure that the two and a half million people who voted
00:21:22.100
for my party also get their influence what they voted for and that means i also will have to compromise
00:21:27.860
but the signal throughout europe and many parts of the world is quite clear that um the people are
00:21:34.740
growing on people are fed up with how they are dealt with by the current and sitting elite in so many
00:21:40.660
countries you know you saw it in other countries like hungary but also you see the growth of of
00:21:45.780
marine le pen in france of mr savinu is in government in italy now we saw it in sweden we see in belgium
00:21:53.220
that the flams belong is doing well we see in germany so you see a kind of a kind of revival of the
00:22:00.100
what i call patriotic movement politically and we need it to be politically because if you want to
00:22:06.180
change anything in our society you need to be um in charge and influential in your national democracy
00:22:12.820
and and and and it it goes for the better and the best way to prove it is that the sitting elite is
00:22:18.740
totally shocked don't know how to deal with it and i think that proves that we are on the right track
00:22:24.580
i saw you last night uh at an event there must have been 30 or 40 police there and i remember when i
00:22:31.620
visited you before your security is a very high priority because of threats of violence but there's
00:22:39.460
also another fear people who criticize immigration or islam uh they don't just have fear of assassination
00:22:46.580
they they have fear of being called racist yeah um what advice would you have for people in other
00:22:53.940
countries who want to take the same position as you on immigration but are afraid of either violence or
00:23:00.820
more likely they're afraid that they'll just be called racist well the the one thing that that
00:23:07.140
really helps is to to find a political party to start a political party to support an existing
00:23:14.580
political party that that that that that makes it uh something that is more common you know that's
00:23:21.060
what you saw in holland when we started when i started my political party exactly the same happened i'm
00:23:25.860
in the in the problems now with my personal security because i got five fatwas from pakistan from from
00:23:32.500
many uh arab countries where imams and mullahs said that i had to be killed and today you see in holland
00:23:39.860
that not only when it comes to immigration but also when it comes to other issues that um um people are
00:23:45.060
not afraid to say it anymore you know that's one of the differences of last week people were whispering
00:23:49.140
to one another in the last few years that okay i i vote for this pvv and this will this guy but they
00:23:54.500
they said it while having a coffee at their work instead of publicly and now people are for the
00:24:01.220
first time in holland they are proud to do so they say it at work they say it when they go to the gym
00:24:06.820
they say it on on on a party a birthday party with their with their neighbors so at the end of the day
00:24:13.620
we make this criticism normal because we know that the elite was ignoring it and was calling us racist
00:24:20.420
but we are everything but racist in holland and in so many other countries the indigenous people are
00:24:25.460
the people that are discriminated against it's not the people who are entering our country in holland
00:24:31.460
people get housing asylum seekers get housing and they get preferential housing before the dutch
00:24:37.140
indigenous people so who is discriminating who and people are really angered about that and if they
00:24:43.700
if they if they if they if you want to get to capitalize it you need a political institution
00:24:50.260
a political group who does it and that's what i said we are in many more countries in europe
00:24:56.340
and parties are getting successful so people like you and the alternative media really help a lot by
00:25:03.460
saying what a lot of other media doesn't want to broadcast or to say but at the end of the day
00:25:08.820
you need a political translation to influence in a in a parliament and a government and so that's
00:25:15.620
what i would advise don't be afraid and speak out but try to candle it canalize it in a political group
00:25:25.860
other countries like canada the conservative party is pretty conservative and pretty freedom oriented
00:25:31.620
but it still has an open borders immigration policy in the united kingdom the conservative party
00:25:38.260
open borders policy every day across the english channel what advice would you give to freedom
00:25:44.900
oriented conservative parties who are obviously afraid of losing um the vote of uh new new immigrants
00:25:54.100
what what advice would you have for canada or the united kingdom well don't be afraid first don't
00:25:58.820
be afraid a lot of people will support you secondly it's a totally misconception that the immigrants
00:26:05.860
would disagree because maybe for some people surprisingly the immigrants agree many of the
00:26:11.220
immigrants agree for in holland and many of the immigrants even many muslims voted for my party
00:26:16.900
because they know that when there is too much influx of immigration that the integration and the success
00:26:23.060
for them will only diminish so they also are in favor of less immigration they know they see what will
00:26:30.580
happen with the housing with the with their income with the jobs or with everything so surprisingly
00:26:35.940
it's not surprisingly but surprisingly to many people they are often our allies they don't want
00:26:41.540
more immigrants to come as well and the own voters the indigenous people they in the growing majority
00:26:48.660
also feel the same so don't be afraid to be political correct or incorrect just state your mind
00:26:55.780
people believe i always make the comparison to one's person's house you know you have to be able
00:27:01.220
in your own house to decide who will be your guest and when the guest should leave and that should this
00:27:06.820
should be your autonomous uh and a nationwide and national decision and holland most of that we we gave
00:27:13.780
those powers to the european union canada is a sovereign country there is no european union in canada so
00:27:18.660
the canadian government really can decide um to close the borders for people they don't want to enter like
00:27:25.140
president trump uh did and is planning to do if he would win next year by uh people from certain
00:27:32.100
countries so don't be afraid just do it and you will be surprised how many people support it including
00:27:38.900
the um immigrants themselves you're i'm grateful to you for fitting us in your schedule i know you have
00:27:44.820
to leave in about three minutes can i put some ideas to you and you can give me like a 30 second
00:27:50.180
top of mind response um what are your thoughts on russia ukraine in 30 seconds if it's possible
00:27:56.500
yeah well um i believe that russia is the bad guy here um i believe that whatever you think of the
00:28:02.820
ukraine corrupt country but um it's a sovereign nation and the russia should not have uh started the war
00:28:12.900
against ukraine so i'm on the part of the of the ukraine here i believe that the dutch should not
00:28:18.180
give um defense material to them because we have very little material ourselves and other nations
00:28:25.620
are doing it and i believe there should be negotiations instead of a war but i'm very clear
00:28:31.620
that the one who started it is russia and nobody else how about the war between israel and hamas any
00:28:37.540
thoughts on that yeah uh it's not a war about land that is my message it's a war about ideology if you
00:28:43.620
give land like my friend ariel sharon i knew him very well i was his guest when he was um
00:28:50.740
and he started to become a president prime minister i was at his funeral i know him for so many years
00:28:56.020
he was great guy one mistake he made was giving gaza and return gaza to the uh to the palestinians and it
00:29:04.260
don't make the mistake that if you give a part of land to palestinians or others that the problem will
00:29:12.020
be solved because it's not a problem of land is a problem of ideology it's it's it's people who hate
00:29:17.700
um who like who love death against people who cherish life it's it's it's it's israel is fighting
00:29:24.340
our war we support we should support israel because um they have our values they are a democratic nation
00:29:31.540
and if israel falls i always say if jerusalem falls rome paris amsterdam will be next so um um
00:29:39.140
um um um i support the decisions that israeli make they should make the decisions whether they
00:29:44.020
what they should do military or politically but um i believe we should all support israel
00:29:48.900
all the way um and instead of criticizing them i think i only have time for one last question
00:29:54.420
earlier you mentioned independent media like rebel news uh in canada and in the united kingdom and
00:30:00.740
in ireland and many countries there are new censorship laws you yourself have been prosecuted
00:30:05.940
for hate speech uh are you worried about global censorship new zealand places like that what are
00:30:12.020
your thoughts on censorship no i'm very worried about that it's that that the the the the governments
00:30:18.020
the parties the institutions that know that they cannot win on the base of arguments that they are
00:30:23.940
afraid for opponents to speak the truth and even if they don't consider it the truth it is an opinion
00:30:30.260
and people should be informed by both ways and i don't mind if there are government institutions or
00:30:35.620
government television but there should also be free speech for almost everything i really
00:30:41.540
long for a kind of first amendment that the americans have that we should have that canada
00:30:47.860
should have that the whole free world should have we should never accept that they would not allow
00:30:54.420
us to speak our minds and and and and and stations like rebel media and yourself are are are are the
00:31:01.940
most important today and i believe many more people um follow you and watch your programs than they did
00:31:09.460
10 years ago for exactly the reason not only because you have a good program because they have no
00:31:13.460
alternative to look at so so this is also why politics is important we had in holland and now in the last
00:31:19.300
few months we had this new uh public broadcaster called on hold nederland they were within the public
00:31:27.220
system but they were very critical and the all elite said we should forbid them because he said something
00:31:32.580
wrong about uh or whatever and he didn't like it and finally now after the elections when they saw that
00:31:38.180
my party was big the secretary of media said that they could stay in uh in the air and he should not
00:31:47.300
have to shut down and i don't know if it's a direct result of our winning the elections but it's too
00:31:52.020
much of a coincidence that they did it a few days after the elections so again here political power
00:31:57.700
fighting for freedom of speech um against uh the the the the what what the elite wants to do
00:32:04.420
and not to let us speak the truth is the only way and we will get there i mean our if if if if i
00:32:11.220
my my um the winning of the pvv means anything uh for other nations um is that there is hope for
00:32:18.820
change congratulations again and thank you for your time today thank you for coming here
00:32:31.220
well what do you think of that there's a lot in there in fact i think tomorrow
00:32:35.060
when i'm back in toronto hopefully if we ever get out of this airport um i'd like to go through
00:32:39.940
those things again because each one of his answers was very dense as in jam-packed with meaning from
00:32:46.580
his take on ukraine to his thoughts on israel to even something i thought was very interesting that
00:32:52.500
he said many immigrants to the netherlands are against mass migration for reasons including they
00:32:59.060
don't want antipathy towards themselves because of bad behaving bogus refugees a lot in there i want
00:33:06.180
to unpack that but what do you think of it how did you think i did in that interview i think in
00:33:11.780
some ways it's the most prestigious interview i have been able to secure he's not prime minister yet
00:33:17.460
but he's obviously most likely to be the prime minister he's a momentous man who won a smashing
00:33:22.900
election landslide and he clearly is a man of ideas i and frankly there's some affection between
00:33:30.180
the two of us you may recall more than 10 years ago i went on a speaking tour in canada with
00:33:34.180
here at builders and to see him win the prize or come within an arm's reach or almost like the
00:33:39.620
winning the prize is quite something anyways i'm going to say goodbye now our plane is hopefully
00:33:45.220
boarding for uh going home to canada and uh we'll get out of this lovely airport but no airport is
00:33:51.300
lovely enough that you'd want to stay an extra day um to see all of our reports on our whirlwind trip
00:33:59.380
uh we put them all on a page called the truth about builders.com builder spelled with a w so it
00:34:04.820
it's actually spelled the truth about wilders.com we have a bunch of videos including interesting
00:34:10.100
on the street videos we call them streeters i think you'll get a kick out of those um all right
00:34:15.700
well i'm gonna try and go home now until tomorrow on behalf of all of us here in where are we today
00:34:22.100
amsterdam to wherever you are in the world good night and keep fighting for freedom
