00:00:00.000 Tonight, Pierre Polyev makes an announcement about the security of Jewish synagogues,
00:00:04.860 but the media party has other things they want to talk about.
00:00:08.220 It's November 23rd, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:11.240 You're fighting for freedom!
00:00:14.080 Shame on you, you censorious thug!
00:00:25.740 Standing outside a large Jewish synagogue in North Toronto.
00:00:29.460 This synagogue itself, as far as I know, has not been attacked by the anti-Semitic mobs
00:00:35.020 that have been marching in the regular hate marches,
00:00:38.320 although I do notice they have a high-security system, video cameras everywhere,
00:00:43.960 panels of different videos, and pictures of, I suppose, people who have threatened them before
00:00:49.520 and that they should keep an eye out for.
00:00:51.500 But no Molotov cocktails or shootings here, unlike what we've seen in Montreal.
00:00:56.980 There's a police car driving by.
00:00:58.820 I'm glad you want to catch a quick look at that.
00:01:01.560 So there are patrols of police in the neighborhood, and just up Bathurst Street,
00:01:05.880 there is a police truck that's permanently parked, lights on,
00:01:11.160 just as a signal to the Jewish community that police are nearby,
00:01:15.060 and a signal to would-be vandals or threateners that the police are nearby.
00:01:19.380 Anyways, the reason I'm here today is because Pierre Polyev, along with one MP named Melissa Lansman,
00:01:26.600 the MP for Thornhill, and Roman Babber, who was the former provincial politician who stood up against the COVID lockdowns,
00:01:34.220 he's now running federally against the incumbent liberal Yara Sachs.
00:01:39.400 Yara Sachs, you'll know her by the only thing she's ever done that was noteworthy,
00:01:44.060 which was to stand up in the House of Commons, I chuckle whenever I think about it,
00:01:47.340 and claim that the trucker convoy, by saying honk honk, was actually called for Heil Hitler.
00:01:55.100 I know you don't believe me, that's why I've got to show you the videotape, take a look.
00:01:59.320 How much vitriol do we have to see of honk honk, which is an acronym for Heil Hitler,
00:02:05.940 do we need to see by these protesters on social media?
00:02:10.520 Yeah, so she's the MP for this writing, absolutely useless as you can imagine.
00:02:14.380 So Pierre Polyev, along with the two Jewish candidates that I mentioned, Lansman and Babber,
00:02:20.080 were here to make an announcement.
00:02:21.640 It was not a public event, only journalists were invited, and we were invited too,
00:02:25.900 and since our office is not too far away, I thought I'd personally come and see what's what.
00:02:30.520 There were about six other TV cameras there, CBC, CTV, I presume one of the cameras was global.
00:02:36.700 Canadian Press, or CP, was there as well, as well as a reporter from the local Jewish newspaper.
00:02:43.260 So Pierre Polyev made his announcement.
00:02:45.620 At several points, he was going to declare the Iranian Republican Guard a terror group, as other Western allies have.
00:02:54.340 He was going to kick out the 700 Iranian terror agents that are operating at will in Canada
00:03:00.060 because Trudeau refuses to criminalize the terror group.
00:03:03.400 He's going to speed up security infrastructure for synagogues and other houses of worship, like we see here.
00:03:08.580 And finally, he was going to have some integrated anti-hate task force.
00:03:13.860 I'm not quite sure what that means.
00:03:16.080 And yeah, I'll let you listen to him.
00:03:17.660 He gave the announcement in French and then in English.
00:03:20.900 I'm not going to play the whole thing, but I just want to give you a little bit of a taste of what he said in English.
00:03:27.020 But the real story is what came next.
00:03:29.560 Let me just show you a couple minutes of the statement.
00:03:31.360 But the reason I'm doing my show on this is what happened after his statement.
00:03:35.220 So here's the statement.
00:03:36.140 I'm very honored to be joined today by the Common Sense Conservative Deputy Leader
00:03:41.900 and Member of Parliament for Thornhill, Melissa Lantzman.
00:03:47.760 We have also Common Sense Conservative candidate for York Centre, Roman Babber,
00:03:53.580 former MPP, lawyer and Raptors fan.
00:03:56.200 Here we are gathered to present a common sense plan to protect the freedom and security of Canadians in these times.
00:04:07.120 After eight years of Justin Trudeau, Canada is a more dangerous place.
00:04:13.080 Hate crimes are up 150 percent after his economy has caused more desperation.
00:04:18.880 His divisive, censorial policies have turned Canadian against Canadian.
00:04:27.240 And his weak laws have allowed criminals and other violent operators to walk freely in our streets
00:04:34.840 and terrorize their fellow citizens.
00:04:38.080 So today, Conservatives present a common sense action plan to protect our people in these times.
00:04:45.840 Our first proposal is we want the government to immediately ban the Iranian terrorist group, the IRGC.
00:04:56.340 This is the most sophisticated, well-financed terror group on planet Earth.
00:05:02.160 It was behind coordinating the October 7th attacks in Israel.
00:05:07.600 It coordinates with other terrorist groups like Hezbollah, which are criminalized in Canada.
00:05:14.380 According to a recent Global News report, there are 700 regime and IRGC agents operating with impunity,
00:05:23.620 using stolen money, terrorizing our Persian and Jewish populations and putting Canadians at risk on our soil.
00:05:31.840 I will add, this terrorist group fired a missile at a civilian aircraft, killing over 100 Canadians.
00:05:41.520 This was almost four years ago.
00:05:45.000 Can you imagine what kind of prime minister would allow a terrorist group to fire a missile at killing our people?
00:05:52.680 And four years later, he lets them legally operate in our country with impunity.
00:05:58.060 This is a disgrace, and it is time that Justin Trudeau stood up to defend our people
00:06:03.480 against these IRGC murderers and terrorists by banning them today.
00:06:09.520 And we should work to kick out every single regime agent or terrorist that is operating in this country,
00:06:16.880 of which 700 have been identified.
00:06:19.940 Second, we need to establish a foreign influence registry,
00:06:23.400 something the government promised it would do back in June.
00:06:25.400 We have multiple Beijing-controlled police stations harassing the Chinese population in Canada.
00:06:37.240 We have, as I said, 700 Iranian regime agents harassing Persian and Jewish Canadians.
00:06:43.620 And countless others may be operating as well.
00:06:46.720 Second, we want a foreign agent registry, which requires that anyone who works for a foreign dictatorship register
00:06:55.320 have their names publicized and exposed.
00:06:58.300 Third, the United Kingdom has said that Canada is the likely spot for a terrorist attack.
00:07:06.080 Now, Canada's government says that there's only a medium risk.
00:07:09.940 Well, the prime minister said the other day that there has been a terrorist attack on our people.
00:07:15.840 There was a terrorist attack against, there are multiple terrorist attacks against synagogues and schools in Montreal,
00:07:24.700 according to the prime minister, while he says the risk level is only medium.
00:07:29.400 We also have terrorist attacks that happened against innocent Muslims in Quebec City and in London, Ontario.
00:07:36.600 And we've had churches burned down.
00:07:39.060 We need to have a review of Canada's assessment of the risk of an attack in this country.
00:07:45.840 Fourth, we need to remove red tape from the security infrastructure program,
00:07:50.840 which protects places of worship and other community centers from attacks.
00:07:55.860 That means quickly approving funding to protect our people.
00:08:01.520 There's one mosque I visited where their people were mowed down by a car,
00:08:05.040 and now by a terrorist who came onto their property.
00:08:09.060 They've been waiting two years to get protection for their place of worship,
00:08:13.580 but the whole application is stuck in more red tape and bureaucracy.
00:08:17.400 You want to streamline it so that all places of worship, synagogues, mosques, temples, gurdwaras, churches,
00:08:23.280 can protect themselves against future attacks.
00:08:26.640 And finally, we want to create a task force against anti-hate violence
00:08:32.960 that would coordinate federal intelligence and law enforcement with local police.
00:08:39.660 The risk we have is that federal intelligence bureaucracies in Ottawa may be aware of a potential risk,
00:08:47.720 but if they don't tell the local police of where that risk could manifest itself,
00:08:56.140 the attack could happen before anyone has a chance to prevent it.
00:09:01.260 We want one coordinated task force that will bring together law enforcement at all three levels of government
00:09:06.640 to share intelligence, interrupt attacks, and protect our people.
00:09:11.400 Well, I made sure I had the first question, and you can imagine it was about something
00:09:16.260 that we at Rebel News have been talking about, namely DeportHamas.com.
00:09:20.440 That's our petition to have non-citizens who are here in Canada,
00:09:25.180 and frankly in the United States and Australia and the United Kingdom,
00:09:28.200 non-citizens who participate in these hate marches.
00:09:33.080 I believe in what the Americans call the First Amendment,
00:09:36.380 what here in Canada is Section 2B of our Charter of Rights, namely freedom of speech.
00:09:40.800 And you've heard me say it myself.
00:09:43.260 Freedom of speech is the gift you have to give your enemy if you want it for yourself.
00:09:47.080 You have to tolerate even odious speech as long as it doesn't rise to the level of a violent threat
00:09:53.000 or something like that.
00:09:54.700 But what about non-citizens?
00:09:56.940 If someone is here not as a member of our, quote, family, but rather as a house guest,
00:10:01.620 if we invited them into our family home just for the purpose of attending university on a student visa
00:10:08.840 or a temporary foreign worker, if they are not Canadian citizens,
00:10:12.260 if they are here at our pleasure, can we not revoke that and kick them out
00:10:17.040 if they're engaging in these hate rallies?
00:10:19.120 Because it seems like an enormous number of people marching in the streets are not actually Canadians.
00:10:24.360 So here's my question to Pierre Polyev, and here's his answer on the subject.
00:10:28.300 What do you think of it?
00:10:29.300 Yes.
00:10:29.560 Hi, Mr. Polyev, as I'm Levan from Rebel News.
00:10:33.080 You mentioned certain things that rise to the level of a crime.
00:10:36.720 But there are many things that aren't quite at that level.
00:10:39.520 For example, people marching, calling for an intifada,
00:10:43.060 or using language that may not rise to the level of a criminal prosecution.
00:10:48.640 And you've said before that you respect freedom of speech even for odious views.
00:10:52.640 But what about people who are not Canadian citizens, who are foreign nationals,
00:10:58.440 perhaps here on a student visa to go to our schools,
00:11:01.680 and instead of studying at university, they're participating in these hate marches,
00:11:05.800 intimidating people, Jewish restaurants, calling for the death of Jews.
00:11:10.840 Again, not criminal level, but these are foreign nationals.
00:11:15.260 Would you support canceling the visas and deporting foreign nationals
00:11:21.780 who, instead of doing what they came here to do, are spreading hate at these pro-Hamas rallies?
00:11:28.780 Thank you for your question.
00:11:29.860 You raise a number of different issues.
00:11:31.300 One, if someone comes here on a student visa and they're not actually a student,
00:11:34.220 then on that basis alone, they should go home.
00:11:37.700 We don't want to have—one of the problems we have with the student visa program
00:11:40.880 is that it has been used as a fraudulent point of entry,
00:11:45.280 particularly for corrupt employers trying to get labor from abroad.
00:11:49.200 So, in general, we believe that we should shut down all the fraud in the student visa program,
00:11:54.100 and anyone who claims to come here to study that is not actually studying should not be here.
00:11:59.180 With regards to protests, I do believe in freedom of speech.
00:12:03.880 I believe people should be allowed to say things I disagree with,
00:12:06.180 even things that I find appalling.
00:12:07.780 That is, the price of living in a free country.
00:12:12.420 The alternative is to have state censors who then decide what kind of speech is acceptable and what is not,
00:12:21.600 and who chooses those state censors.
00:12:23.900 And then those censors will pick and choose, based on their own political views,
00:12:28.740 which speech is allowed and which speech is not.
00:12:31.340 That's why I believe in freedom of expression.
00:12:33.840 You mentioned, for example, if someone stands up and calls for violence against a particular group,
00:12:40.800 they can, under the current criminal code, be charged with incitement.
00:12:45.400 Those provisions already exist.
00:12:48.260 And I would encourage law enforcement to make sure those provisions are upheld for any and all people
00:12:56.120 who incite, deliberately incite, violence against an identifiable group,
00:13:02.080 because that has been criminalized for many years.
00:13:04.800 And anyone who is convicted of that, who is not a citizen, should obviously not be in Canada.
00:13:10.760 I knew he was going to talk about freedom of speech, and I believe in freedom of speech.
00:13:13.760 He was talking about kicking out foreign students who don't actually go to school,
00:13:17.660 but that wasn't really my question.
00:13:19.620 I'm not saying that these foreign students don't also go to school.
00:13:23.320 They're not going to these hate marches, you know, 9 to 5 every day.
00:13:27.880 They are doing their studies, but then just for the weekend, larks,
00:13:31.120 they're walking around shouting at Jews.
00:13:32.940 So I don't think Pierre Paulyev answered my question directly,
00:13:36.440 and I tried to get a follow-up, but I was not permitted.
00:13:40.160 Here's how my attempt went.
00:13:42.040 Well, at least I tried.
00:13:45.160 There was one other question about the Jewish issue.
00:13:48.920 Again, we're in a Jewish synagogue with two Jewish candidates
00:13:51.840 talking about protecting the Jewish community.
00:13:54.580 So there was a reporter from the Canadian Jewish News,
00:13:57.020 which is what it sounds like, asking a question.
00:14:00.160 And again, Pierre Paulyev said he's for freedom of speech.
00:14:03.060 I'll let you know how that exchange goes.
00:14:05.080 Lila, Sarah, Canadian Jewish News.
00:14:06.640 You spoke about the demonstrations and freedom of speech,
00:14:10.300 but we've seen multiple large demonstrations in Toronto and Montreal,
00:14:14.840 certainly that are quite frightening for the community.
00:14:18.140 Would you take any action against these large demonstrations?
00:14:23.700 People have the right to demonstrate as long as they do so peacefully.
00:14:28.640 The line is drawn when someone is violent towards someone else,
00:14:34.240 when they inhibit a business from legitimately operating.
00:14:37.860 At the same time, I think we need to be,
00:14:42.860 when we see things that we disagree with,
00:14:45.200 I have the freedom of expression to condemn those things.
00:14:48.000 And that's what I have done.
00:14:48.960 When I have seen chants that I disagree with,
00:14:53.380 I condemn those chants.
00:14:54.860 When I see political messages that I disagree with,
00:14:59.120 I condemn them with my words.
00:15:00.440 We live in a free country,
00:15:03.540 and that means people are free to say things that I don't like,
00:15:06.720 and I am free to condemn them for doing so.
00:15:09.040 So that was the local reporter for the little Jewish newspaper here in town.
00:15:13.260 But what followed were, like I said,
00:15:16.380 there was CBC, CTV, Canadian Press,
00:15:18.260 all the mainstream media were here.
00:15:19.520 I tell you, not a single question was about the Jewish community or Hamas or terrorism
00:15:27.460 or the announcement that Polyev just made.
00:15:30.080 None of it.
00:15:31.500 Every single regime journalist,
00:15:34.340 every single Justin Journo,
00:15:36.900 and you know that just this week Trudeau announced
00:15:39.520 he's going to triple the subsidies to regime media.
00:15:43.640 And, oh my God, you could feel it.
00:15:46.040 I mean, even if you disagree with Pierre Polyev,
00:15:48.280 if you think he's doing too much or too little or doing the wrong things,
00:15:51.520 he came here with an announcement in a Jewish synagogue
00:15:54.020 that has surveillance on it because it's under threat.
00:15:57.920 Not a single question.
00:15:59.260 The media doesn't care about that.
00:16:01.580 There were actually two questions about why Pierre Polyev
00:16:04.740 doesn't support a carbon tax for Ukraine.
00:16:09.120 I'll just let you see the questions.
00:16:10.980 I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it.
00:16:12.700 So that's what the media wanted to talk about instead.
00:16:14.980 Take a look at question number one.
00:16:16.960 Can you explain why the Conservative Party voted against
00:16:19.400 the new Ukraine-Canada free trade agreement?
00:16:22.560 We didn't vote against a free trade agreement.
00:16:24.660 We brought in the free trade agreement.
00:16:26.760 We voted against Justin Trudeau forcing a carbon tax
00:16:29.760 into that pre-existing agreement.
00:16:33.280 Conservatives understand how devastating the carbon tax has been for Canadians.
00:16:37.680 It's caused two million people to go to a food bank every single month.
00:16:43.500 Seven million Canadians not eating enough to stay healthy.
00:16:49.200 We never had these problems before, Justin Trudeau and his costly carbon tax.
00:16:53.300 Now he wants to quadruple the tax.
00:16:55.300 And just to show you how pathologically obsessed Trudeau is with his tax,
00:16:59.780 he did something that has never been done in the history of trade agreements,
00:17:04.160 which is to put a carbon tax in one.
00:17:06.640 The people of Ukraine are now going to,
00:17:09.560 he expects them to rebuild from a war
00:17:11.840 with a devastating and crippling tax on their energy.
00:17:16.320 The Ukrainian farmers,
00:17:18.120 he expects them to pay a carbon tax
00:17:19.920 while they're trying to feed their hungry people.
00:17:21.720 This is cruel and frankly it is disgusting
00:17:26.240 that Trudeau's ideological obsession
00:17:29.540 with taxing working class people,
00:17:32.200 seniors and suffering families
00:17:34.720 has come ahead of what should have been a free trade agreement.
00:17:39.620 Thank you.
00:17:40.780 And here's question number two.
00:17:42.600 CBC, if you could in English and French.
00:17:45.040 Just going back to the carbon question.
00:17:47.580 Yes.
00:17:47.800 The deal refers to promoting carbon pricing
00:17:52.280 and it's something that Ukraine has already,
00:17:55.740 or something Ukraine has already offered to do
00:17:57.640 in their talks with the EU.
00:18:01.160 So is that a fair thing for the government to ask of Ukraine?
00:18:07.760 No.
00:18:09.140 No.
00:18:10.420 No, it's not.
00:18:11.760 There's no reason to promote a carbon tax
00:18:14.400 for Ukrainians or for Canadians.
00:18:16.980 The carbon tax is crippling our people.
00:18:20.120 It's driving up the cost of food, gas and groceries.
00:18:23.320 It's driven a record,
00:18:24.540 smashing 2 million Canadians to the food bank.
00:18:28.020 Now Trudeau wants to quadruple the carbon tax
00:18:30.700 on your food, gas and groceries.
00:18:33.720 This is going to force seniors
00:18:35.620 to choose between eating and heating.
00:18:38.720 A better thing to do
00:18:40.080 would be for him to amend the agreement,
00:18:43.240 throw that carbon tax clause out,
00:18:45.080 and to top it off,
00:18:47.380 to pass Bill C-234,
00:18:50.400 which would take the carbon tax off our farmers
00:18:55.220 so that they can feed us more affordably.
00:18:57.920 Thank you.
00:18:58.280 They were literally fighting with him
00:19:00.660 about why he doesn't insist
00:19:02.520 that Ukraine brings in a carbon tax.
00:19:05.520 I was thinking,
00:19:06.260 what planet am I in?
00:19:07.840 In what possible world
00:19:09.420 is that newsworthy at all,
00:19:12.940 let alone for this event?
00:19:14.800 I think my favorite part,
00:19:16.200 and I got to say,
00:19:17.060 I was there and I was representing Rebel News
00:19:19.480 and I had my official microphone.
00:19:20.940 I was doing street journalism,
00:19:22.520 citizen journalism,
00:19:23.180 like my friend David Menzies
00:19:24.480 and the rest of our team normally does.
00:19:26.000 So I was trying to be on my best behavior.
00:19:27.740 I watched this exchange with Canadian press
00:19:32.340 and I did my best not to laugh out loud
00:19:35.160 because I was being very professional
00:19:36.900 and very serious.
00:19:37.900 I want to show you,
00:19:39.000 again,
00:19:39.360 so this was about
00:19:40.920 how to protect the Jewish community,
00:19:43.680 especially here in Toronto,
00:19:44.540 large Jewish community,
00:19:45.620 from these hate marches
00:19:46.760 and from the Molotov cocktails
00:19:48.260 and the shootings we've seen in Montreal.
00:19:49.980 That's what it was about.
00:19:50.940 Again,
00:19:51.220 you can criticize that
00:19:52.360 or ask other questions.
00:19:53.380 I did.
00:19:54.140 Not a single regime journalist did.
00:19:55.960 Here's the Canadian press asking Pierre Polyev
00:19:59.600 why he called that bizarre car crash
00:20:02.980 an explosion yesterday at the border crossing,
00:20:05.900 why he called that a possible act of terrorism.
00:20:09.700 I want to play the whole thing for you
00:20:11.740 and you'll see the CP reporter
00:20:13.160 got a supplementary question,
00:20:14.460 even if I didn't,
00:20:15.480 but I wish this would have gone on much longer.
00:20:18.300 This was the most delightful thing
00:20:21.640 I have seen in days.
00:20:23.940 Well,
00:20:24.240 I mean,
00:20:24.480 there's a lot of wonderful things,
00:20:25.500 so maybe it's not in days,
00:20:26.980 but certainly today.
00:20:28.000 This was my favorite thing I've seen today.
00:20:30.100 Watch Pierre Polyev go back and forth
00:20:32.460 with a poor schlep from Canadian press
00:20:35.040 who very clearly was given a job,
00:20:38.340 attack Pierre Polyev.
00:20:40.620 You tell me how you think it went.
00:20:42.500 Hi,
00:20:42.940 Paola de Reggio
00:20:43.640 with the Canadian press.
00:20:44.940 Do you think it was responsible
00:20:50.500 responsible for you to call yesterday's explosion
00:20:53.740 by the customs,
00:20:55.060 by the checkpoint at the Rainbow Bridge,
00:20:56.940 terrorism,
00:20:57.900 when no U.S. or Canadian officials said that was,
00:21:01.100 like, authorities said that was the case,
00:21:02.520 and when the New York governor
00:21:03.900 also said there was no evidence
00:21:05.720 to suggest terrorism activity?
00:21:07.080 Actually,
00:21:07.760 you're wrong.
00:21:08.260 Are you with CP?
00:21:09.660 Okay,
00:21:10.020 so CP,
00:21:10.720 by the way,
00:21:11.140 CP,
00:21:11.520 just for everyone's knowledge,
00:21:13.000 did have to make three corrections
00:21:14.980 for falsehoods
00:21:16.540 that they put into a single article.
00:21:18.260 I think that might be unprecedented.
00:21:20.420 I'm actually thinking about checking
00:21:22.220 with the Guinness Book of World Records
00:21:23.740 to see
00:21:24.260 if there's ever been a news agency
00:21:26.200 that has had to issue
00:21:27.220 three corrections
00:21:28.440 for patent falsehoods
00:21:30.540 that they admit
00:21:31.160 they had been made
00:21:32.460 in one single article,
00:21:33.440 and now you've made
00:21:34.120 yet another falsehood
00:21:35.280 in your question.
00:21:37.380 Where you are wrong
00:21:38.700 is that CTV reported
00:21:40.460 that the government of Canada
00:21:41.600 was presuming
00:21:43.020 that the incident was terrorist.
00:21:45.260 So,
00:21:45.880 yeah,
00:21:46.160 that was,
00:21:46.420 and that's what I said
00:21:46.980 in my remarks.
00:21:48.180 You're right.
00:21:49.240 It was a media report.
00:21:50.520 But it's citing media reports
00:21:51.820 and not...
00:21:53.020 Which is what I said.
00:21:54.100 In the House,
00:21:54.800 I said there are media reports.
00:21:57.420 And you think
00:21:58.040 that's a responsible thing
00:21:58.980 to go on
00:21:59.440 to make that kind of a statement
00:22:01.220 at the time
00:22:01.740 without speaking...
00:22:02.880 What kind of statement?
00:22:04.680 Calling something terroristic.
00:22:05.840 I didn't.
00:22:07.700 I said there were
00:22:08.720 media reports.
00:22:10.400 That's the distinction
00:22:11.180 we're making?
00:22:11.640 Okay.
00:22:12.160 No,
00:22:12.440 there's no distinction.
00:22:13.940 What I said,
00:22:15.960 and I was right,
00:22:17.420 was that there were
00:22:18.300 media reports
00:22:19.180 of a terror-related event.
00:22:23.600 By your admission,
00:22:25.740 there were media reports
00:22:26.900 of a terror-related event.
00:22:29.760 And that media report,
00:22:31.520 according to CTV,
00:22:32.440 unless you're questioning
00:22:33.280 their integrity now,
00:22:35.040 came from security officials
00:22:37.360 in the Trudeau government.
00:22:39.600 So do you think
00:22:40.360 the CTV was irresponsible
00:22:41.660 in putting out that tweet?
00:22:46.240 Do you think
00:22:46.900 it was a responsible comment
00:22:47.900 to make it in the House of Commons?
00:22:48.840 Sorry, I have already answered that.
00:22:51.700 Do you think CTV was irresponsible
00:22:53.260 to put that tweet out?
00:22:55.300 That's none of my business.
00:22:57.080 That's not for me to comment.
00:22:59.360 Well, you just did comment.
00:23:04.300 Okay.
00:23:04.660 I just hope you're not going
00:23:06.660 to print something
00:23:07.160 that you have to apologize
00:23:08.000 for again.
00:23:09.040 Okay.
00:23:09.840 That was absolutely wonderful,
00:23:11.620 and it was actually
00:23:12.160 my favorite moment
00:23:13.040 of the entire press conference
00:23:14.260 because it shows to me
00:23:15.940 that Pierre Polyev knows
00:23:17.560 that their real enemy
00:23:19.140 in this election campaign
00:23:20.440 is not actually Justin Trudeau.
00:23:23.260 Justin Trudeau is disgraced.
00:23:25.580 He's discredited.
00:23:26.900 Even liberal voters
00:23:27.880 say he is phony
00:23:28.800 and inauthentic.
00:23:30.300 He's never been this low
00:23:31.200 in the polls.
00:23:32.120 His own MPs
00:23:33.180 and cabinet ministers
00:23:33.960 are grumbling about him.
00:23:35.440 He's hated on the streets.
00:23:37.300 People jeer him
00:23:38.200 from the right and the left.
00:23:39.980 No, the real enemy
00:23:41.220 against Pierre Polyev
00:23:42.480 were those six other cameras
00:23:44.200 in the room,
00:23:45.080 and he knew it,
00:23:46.780 and the fact that he was willing
00:23:48.200 to go on the offensive
00:23:49.280 against CP proves to me
00:23:51.440 he will not make the mistakes
00:23:53.560 that Aaron O'Toole
00:23:54.600 and Andrew Scheer made before him
00:23:56.360 thinking they could win them over.
00:23:58.220 I think they really like me.
00:23:59.960 I think I'm really
00:24:00.800 getting through to them.
00:24:01.980 No, they hate you,
00:24:03.440 and Pierre Polyev treated them
00:24:05.060 the right way he treated them.
00:24:07.280 I only wish he had an apple.
00:24:09.140 I think Pierre Polyev,
00:24:10.480 when he does his press conferences,
00:24:12.300 should carry an apple,
00:24:13.760 and if a reporter starts
00:24:15.040 getting stroppy like that,
00:24:17.040 Polyev should take out the apple,
00:24:18.640 and if the reporter
00:24:19.600 keeps going on like that,
00:24:20.960 Polyev should say,
00:24:21.640 I'm going to take a bite.
00:24:22.640 I'm going to take a bite.
00:24:23.780 You know what I'm talking about, right?
00:24:25.300 This exchange in British Columbia
00:24:26.820 about a month ago
00:24:27.900 that was just absolutely classic.
00:24:29.900 Remember this?
00:24:32.280 On the topic,
00:24:33.840 I mean,
00:24:34.020 in terms of your sort of strategy
00:24:35.940 currently,
00:24:36.740 you're obviously taking
00:24:37.640 the populist pathway.
00:24:40.460 What does that mean?
00:24:41.100 Well, appealing to people's
00:24:45.520 more emotional levels,
00:24:46.960 I would guess.
00:24:48.540 What do you mean by that?
00:24:49.340 Certainly you tap
00:24:51.660 very strong ideological language
00:24:53.680 quite frequently.
00:24:54.900 Like what?
00:24:57.300 Left wing,
00:24:58.420 you know,
00:24:58.700 this and that,
00:24:59.580 right wing,
00:25:00.200 I mean,
00:25:00.760 it's that type of ideological thing.
00:25:02.940 I never really talk about
00:25:03.740 left or right.
00:25:04.260 I don't really believe in that.
00:25:05.800 Okay.
00:25:06.600 A lot of people would say
00:25:08.380 that you're simply taking
00:25:09.440 a page out of the
00:25:10.300 Donald Trump book.
00:25:12.020 Probably like which people
00:25:13.040 would say that.
00:25:14.220 Well,
00:25:14.620 I'm sure a great many Canadians,
00:25:17.120 but...
00:25:17.800 Like who?
00:25:19.320 I don't know who,
00:25:20.440 but...
00:25:20.900 Well,
00:25:21.060 you're the one
00:25:21.400 who asked the question,
00:25:22.360 so you must know somebody.
00:25:24.320 Okay.
00:25:25.360 I'm sure there's some out there,
00:25:26.820 but anyways,
00:25:27.500 the point of this question is,
00:25:29.600 I mean,
00:25:30.480 why should Canadians
00:25:32.240 trust you with their vote
00:25:34.160 given,
00:25:36.220 you know,
00:25:36.860 not just the sort of
00:25:38.320 ideological inclination
00:25:39.720 in terms of
00:25:40.400 taking the page
00:25:41.220 out of Donald Trump's book,
00:25:42.420 but also...
00:25:42.760 What are you talking about?
00:25:43.560 What page?
00:25:44.180 What page?
00:25:44.640 Can you give me a page?
00:25:45.380 Give me the page.
00:25:46.600 You keep saying that.
00:25:47.760 In terms of turning things
00:25:48.920 quite dramatically
00:25:49.640 in terms of Trudeau
00:25:51.360 and the left wing
00:25:52.880 and all of this,
00:25:53.540 I mean,
00:25:53.740 you make quite a,
00:25:54.980 you know,
00:25:55.300 it's quite a play
00:25:56.460 that you make on it.
00:25:58.020 So I'm just wondering.
00:25:59.040 I'm not sure.
00:25:59.060 I don't know
00:25:59.740 what your question is.
00:26:01.240 Then forget that.
00:26:02.020 Why should Canadians
00:26:02.960 trust you with their vote?
00:26:05.700 Common sense.
00:26:06.960 Okay.
00:26:07.200 Common sense
00:26:08.940 for a change.
00:26:10.900 We're going to make
00:26:11.720 common sense
00:26:12.240 common in this country.
00:26:13.900 We don't have
00:26:14.480 any common sense
00:26:15.900 in the current government.
00:26:17.340 You know,
00:26:18.060 the guy prints
00:26:18.800 $600 billion
00:26:19.700 and grows our money supply
00:26:21.540 by 32%
00:26:22.580 in three years.
00:26:24.700 That's growing the money
00:26:25.860 eight times faster
00:26:27.720 than the economy.
00:26:29.260 No wonder
00:26:29.700 we have the worst
00:26:30.540 inflation in four decades.
00:26:33.140 I'm going to cap spending,
00:26:34.380 cut waste
00:26:34.860 so that we can balance
00:26:36.160 the budget
00:26:36.540 and bring down
00:26:37.020 inflation and interest rates.
00:26:38.260 You'll want to be able
00:26:38.800 to pay your mortgage again.
00:26:39.880 You want to be able
00:26:40.400 to afford rent.
00:26:41.480 Then you have to vote
00:26:42.200 for Pierre Polyev
00:26:43.040 because I'm the only one
00:26:44.540 with a common sense plan
00:26:46.880 that will bring back
00:26:48.180 the buying power
00:26:49.060 of your paycheck.
00:26:49.680 Yeah, the rest of the questions
00:26:51.000 were completely off point.
00:26:53.000 One of them
00:26:53.440 was a CBC reporter.
00:26:55.820 I think it was CBC or CTV.
00:26:57.220 It's all a blur.
00:26:57.940 They're all the monolith
00:26:59.160 saying,
00:27:00.360 someone got a mean phone call.
00:27:02.820 Is this,
00:27:03.320 are you to blame?
00:27:04.480 Here's the question.
00:27:05.540 Take a look.
00:27:06.080 This question is from
00:27:07.540 Kevin Gallagher of CTV News.
00:27:09.600 The independent senators group
00:27:11.040 are accusing your house leader
00:27:12.320 Andrew Scheer
00:27:13.160 of tweeting out
00:27:13.980 a most wanted poster
00:27:15.220 of two senators
00:27:16.520 encouraging people to call them
00:27:18.080 and ask them
00:27:19.040 why they shut down debate
00:27:20.180 on Bill C-234.
00:27:22.260 It resulted in a threatening
00:27:23.700 phone call
00:27:24.260 to one senator's office
00:27:25.480 that resulted in police
00:27:26.540 telling her to leave her home.
00:27:28.060 Did this tactic go too far?
00:27:29.840 You know,
00:27:30.400 I probably have had a long answer.
00:27:32.160 I'll just show you the part
00:27:32.940 where he says,
00:27:33.400 yeah, we all get threats.
00:27:34.900 It's too bad.
00:27:35.460 Take a look.
00:27:36.400 If someone has been threatened,
00:27:37.740 then they should be,
00:27:39.660 then whoever uttered that threat
00:27:41.740 should be held accountable.
00:27:43.640 I receive threats all the time,
00:27:45.680 as do members of my caucus.
00:27:48.660 It's terrible when it happens.
00:27:51.220 That does not change the fact
00:27:52.980 that taxing our farmers
00:27:54.480 makes food more expensive
00:27:56.120 for everyone.
00:27:57.540 And that's why senators
00:27:58.760 should immediately pass
00:27:59.980 common sense conservative bill
00:28:01.340 C-234
00:28:02.520 to take the tax off
00:28:04.260 and let our Canadian people
00:28:05.720 eat affordable food.
00:28:06.960 I say again,
00:28:08.140 were any of these questions
00:28:09.580 asked by the media party
00:28:10.880 relevant to you
00:28:12.280 or to the news?
00:28:13.700 You have CP playing gotcha.
00:28:15.780 Hey, it wasn't actually
00:28:17.340 a terrorist attack.
00:28:18.940 And Polly, I've said,
00:28:19.640 well, I didn't say it was.
00:28:20.780 I said that CTV reported it
00:28:22.800 as that.
00:28:23.900 The question about
00:28:25.260 why won't you carbon tax Ukraine?
00:28:28.160 What about a mean comment
00:28:29.880 that led to a mean phone call?
00:28:33.040 They, you know what,
00:28:34.040 sometimes the regime media,
00:28:35.580 they don't do it a lot anymore,
00:28:36.820 but they look down their nose
00:28:38.160 at citizen journalists like us.
00:28:40.120 But I got to tell you,
00:28:40.900 the only two reporters
00:28:41.740 in the building today
00:28:42.580 who actually asked questions
00:28:44.200 on the subject at hand
00:28:45.340 that were very newsworthy
00:28:47.620 to the community here,
00:28:48.900 at least to the local community,
00:28:50.420 and I would say
00:28:50.880 the national community,
00:28:51.860 were me and the Jewish reporter
00:28:53.160 from the Canadian Jewish News.
00:28:54.320 The rest of them
00:28:56.220 were asking about
00:28:57.440 their pet grievances,
00:28:58.600 their petty vendettas
00:28:59.560 inside Ottawa baseball,
00:29:02.280 and they're literally demanding
00:29:04.480 that Pierre Polyev make
00:29:06.020 taxing, carbon taxing Ukraine
00:29:09.520 a conditioned precedent
00:29:11.160 for Canadian support.
00:29:12.760 I came here to see Pierre Polyev
00:29:14.500 and put a question to him
00:29:15.420 about deport Hamas,
00:29:16.520 and I'd give him a 5 out of 10
00:29:18.020 for his answer.
00:29:18.660 He sort of evaded it,
00:29:20.180 and his press boss
00:29:21.340 didn't want me to ask a follow-up.
00:29:22.860 But I'm half-pleased
00:29:25.340 with the answer.
00:29:26.340 It's a baby step,
00:29:27.320 but I'm not talking
00:29:28.700 about foreign nationals
00:29:30.360 who completely fake
00:29:32.340 being students.
00:29:32.940 I'm talking about the ones
00:29:33.820 who are students by day
00:29:35.220 and haters by night.
00:29:37.220 But what I really learned today
00:29:38.500 was not about the war on terror
00:29:40.880 or the Jewish community
00:29:41.860 or Polyev's plans.
00:29:43.120 I saw firsthand
00:29:44.360 who the enemy is,
00:29:46.220 and it's the regime media
00:29:48.000 that you are forced to pay
00:29:49.700 with your tax dollars.
00:29:51.560 Yes, Radio-Canada, Toronto.
00:29:54.760 Yesterday, the conservatives
00:29:55.600 voted against the C-316
00:29:57.960 to prevent the judicial contestation
00:30:00.440 program,
00:30:01.040 often used by the French
00:30:02.980 in a minority situation.
00:30:04.040 Why would they turn their
00:30:06.040 head to these minority communities?
00:30:08.040 No, it's not true.
00:30:09.240 It's not true.
00:30:10.080 You know, I almost forgot
00:30:11.300 the French-language
00:30:12.420 CBC reporter
00:30:13.380 asked a question
00:30:14.360 about French minority rights.
00:30:16.200 Again,
00:30:16.940 is that the issue of the day?
00:30:18.520 And I'm not saying
00:30:19.320 that French minority rights,
00:30:20.680 people don't have a right
00:30:21.540 to ask a question,
00:30:22.440 but that's a lobbyist's question.
00:30:24.280 That's the CBC activist question.
00:30:26.440 Is that in the top 100 issues
00:30:28.480 of the day today?
00:30:29.720 I don't know.
00:30:30.520 Well, that's my reporting
00:30:32.300 on the ground,
00:30:33.200 but I want to now go
00:30:34.900 to exciting news
00:30:36.060 across the world,
00:30:37.400 news that I hope
00:30:38.120 will inspire Canada
00:30:39.600 and other countries.
00:30:41.400 I'm talking about
00:30:42.240 the massive electoral success
00:30:43.880 of Geert Wilders,
00:30:45.180 the head of the
00:30:46.200 Dutch Party for Freedom.
00:30:47.540 I interview
00:30:48.540 Ava Vardingerbrook next.
00:30:59.220 It's being compared
00:31:00.640 in terms of its seismic
00:31:02.400 political impact
00:31:03.440 to Brexit
00:31:04.500 when the United Kingdom
00:31:05.500 voted to leave
00:31:06.380 the European Union.
00:31:07.260 I'm referring, of course,
00:31:08.260 to the electoral victory,
00:31:10.600 the tremendous success,
00:31:12.020 the surprising success
00:31:13.380 to many,
00:31:14.360 of Geert Wilders,
00:31:15.300 the leader of the
00:31:16.400 Party for Freedom.
00:31:17.700 in the Netherlands.
00:31:19.260 And joining us now
00:31:20.060 is one of our favorite
00:31:21.320 Dutch political observers
00:31:23.500 and commentators,
00:31:25.180 our friend Ava Vardingerbrook,
00:31:26.620 who is on the road
00:31:27.640 in Europe
00:31:28.020 doing a documentary.
00:31:29.320 Thanks very much
00:31:30.120 for jamming us in.
00:31:31.540 What a remarkable outcome.
00:31:34.060 I didn't think
00:31:35.740 that the Dutch
00:31:36.800 would embrace someone
00:31:38.020 who was so radical
00:31:39.860 in the Latin sense
00:31:41.260 of that word.
00:31:41.800 He goes to the root.
00:31:43.480 Ava, what do you make
00:31:44.540 of Geert Wilders' success?
00:31:46.340 I guess it was last night,
00:31:47.520 right now.
00:31:49.020 Yeah, well,
00:31:49.640 personally,
00:31:50.200 I'm euphoric.
00:31:51.180 I voted for the PVV personally,
00:31:53.680 and just like you, Ezra,
00:31:54.900 I had honestly no idea
00:31:56.640 that this would happen.
00:31:57.640 It was completely unexpected.
00:31:59.320 It's unprecedented.
00:32:01.280 They won now.
00:32:02.480 They're looking at 38 seats even,
00:32:04.660 so they keep on rising
00:32:05.880 with the last votes
00:32:07.040 being counted.
00:32:09.080 And it's just,
00:32:10.360 it's something that
00:32:11.580 no one saw coming,
00:32:12.760 I think.
00:32:13.240 The PVV,
00:32:14.480 they've been branded as,
00:32:16.260 well,
00:32:16.540 extremely radical
00:32:17.360 and not in a good sense.
00:32:18.860 You know,
00:32:19.100 Geert Wilders has even been
00:32:20.400 prosecuted
00:32:21.540 and trialed here
00:32:24.260 in the Netherlands
00:32:24.760 for his opinions
00:32:26.080 and his views.
00:32:27.920 Voters of the PVV
00:32:29.060 have been ridiculized,
00:32:30.460 demonized
00:32:31.220 for years now.
00:32:32.420 And the fact that
00:32:33.620 so many people,
00:32:34.840 one in four Dutch people
00:32:36.120 have now said,
00:32:37.060 enough with that.
00:32:38.240 We want change
00:32:39.140 and we are going to vote
00:32:40.260 for this party.
00:32:41.080 It's just,
00:32:41.740 it's unheard of.
00:32:42.700 And I'm honestly
00:32:43.440 really, really happy.
00:32:44.900 Yeah, I mean,
00:32:45.380 he is a free speech champion.
00:32:47.740 He has fought prosecution
00:32:49.040 for his ideas.
00:32:50.460 He has a very hard line
00:32:52.080 on Islam.
00:32:52.860 And I've listened to him
00:32:53.860 say it many times.
00:32:54.680 He says,
00:32:55.260 I respect Muslims as people,
00:32:57.640 but I quarrel with the ideology,
00:32:59.860 the philosophy
00:33:00.440 of Islam itself,
00:33:01.980 which is a very interesting
00:33:03.020 distinction.
00:33:03.820 He's very tough
00:33:04.780 on Islam
00:33:06.040 and he's talked about,
00:33:07.320 for example,
00:33:07.780 a moratorium
00:33:08.460 on building mosques.
00:33:10.180 He's talked about
00:33:11.340 ending,
00:33:12.440 for all intents and purposes,
00:33:14.040 all third world immigration.
00:33:15.980 He's been saying these things
00:33:17.460 for really 20 years
00:33:18.840 and he's been saying them
00:33:20.180 from the margins of politics,
00:33:21.620 but now he's in the heart
00:33:22.960 of politics.
00:33:24.280 I have a question for you.
00:33:25.820 I have my answer
00:33:26.680 to this question,
00:33:27.240 but I want to hear it from you.
00:33:28.780 Do you think
00:33:29.760 that he will be able
00:33:31.480 to carry out
00:33:32.740 his basic ideas?
00:33:35.000 They're radical
00:33:35.760 in the sense
00:33:36.220 that they go to the root.
00:33:37.100 He wants to pull out
00:33:37.940 immigration from the root.
00:33:39.600 He wants to challenge Islam
00:33:41.040 by name.
00:33:41.960 He's not dancing around it.
00:33:43.460 Do you think
00:33:43.840 he's going to hold fast
00:33:45.100 to his values
00:33:46.040 now that he is
00:33:47.220 in the driver's seat?
00:33:49.520 Well,
00:33:49.720 I think there's really
00:33:50.580 no other option
00:33:51.380 for Gert Wilders.
00:33:52.340 I mean,
00:33:52.720 this man is not joking
00:33:54.180 when it comes
00:33:54.760 to his opinions
00:33:55.420 about this.
00:33:56.200 He has security details
00:33:58.740 following him around
00:33:59.840 24-7.
00:34:01.160 He can't go anywhere
00:34:02.160 without being protected
00:34:03.660 by his bodyguards.
00:34:05.740 He drives a car
00:34:06.920 that is armored.
00:34:08.340 You know,
00:34:08.500 like all of that.
00:34:09.480 It's not a joke.
00:34:10.520 You know,
00:34:10.760 Gert Wilders
00:34:11.180 has sacrificed
00:34:11.780 a lot for his views
00:34:13.840 on Islam
00:34:14.560 and his critic
00:34:15.620 of immigration.
00:34:17.580 And so,
00:34:18.120 I don't think
00:34:18.760 that that's something
00:34:19.300 that he will compromise
00:34:20.340 on necessarily.
00:34:21.680 Of course,
00:34:22.140 all sorts of other powers,
00:34:23.700 other political parties
00:34:24.780 in the Netherlands
00:34:25.240 that he will have
00:34:26.260 to form a coalition with
00:34:27.400 are probably going
00:34:28.540 to want him
00:34:29.360 to water that message down.
00:34:32.440 But I think
00:34:33.220 Gert Wilders
00:34:33.800 is very much aware
00:34:34.660 of the fact
00:34:35.160 that the people
00:34:35.800 in the Netherlands
00:34:37.000 have chosen him
00:34:38.020 for this particular reason.
00:34:39.800 I think also
00:34:40.240 the events
00:34:40.880 of October 7th
00:34:42.180 and, you know,
00:34:43.180 how that has played out
00:34:44.360 all over Europe.
00:34:45.280 You have seen
00:34:45.980 the protests here.
00:34:47.360 You know,
00:34:47.560 people have come out
00:34:48.180 in vast numbers
00:34:49.220 waving Taliban flags,
00:34:51.320 waving,
00:34:51.900 you know,
00:34:53.120 Al-Qaeda flags.
00:34:54.000 And I think
00:34:54.480 that that has
00:34:55.040 woken the masses
00:34:56.220 up in a way.
00:34:58.020 And another thing
00:34:59.080 that Gert Wilders'
00:34:59.960 party is in favor of
00:35:01.060 is the,
00:35:01.940 well,
00:35:02.660 Dutch version
00:35:03.380 of the Brexit.
00:35:04.320 So he's in favor
00:35:04.980 of a next sit.
00:35:06.300 And if that is something
00:35:07.400 that we can actually do,
00:35:08.840 then we stand a chance,
00:35:10.240 you know,
00:35:10.420 because a lot of these
00:35:11.340 open border policies
00:35:12.540 ultimately start,
00:35:14.400 begin and end
00:35:15.040 in Brussels.
00:35:16.240 You know,
00:35:16.420 they begin and end
00:35:17.100 with the European Union.
00:35:18.580 And Gert Wilders'
00:35:19.100 party has been very clear
00:35:20.340 on the fact
00:35:21.440 that they want
00:35:22.000 to leave the EU,
00:35:23.300 which is something
00:35:23.700 that I think
00:35:24.180 absolutely needs to happen
00:35:25.520 if we want to see
00:35:26.300 any real substantial change
00:35:28.240 with regards to immigration.
00:35:29.740 That's incredible.
00:35:30.500 You know,
00:35:30.780 my answer to my own question
00:35:32.160 is Gert Wilders
00:35:33.700 has lived
00:35:34.700 for this one purpose.
00:35:36.340 And as you mentioned,
00:35:37.060 he's under
00:35:37.480 extreme security.
00:35:40.020 And for good reason,
00:35:41.320 other Dutch critics
00:35:42.680 of Islam
00:35:43.320 have been assassinated.
00:35:45.640 Theo van Gogh,
00:35:46.820 Van Gogh,
00:35:47.940 as he'd be called,
00:35:49.480 Pim Fortown
00:35:50.300 was a gay politician,
00:35:52.800 actually,
00:35:53.660 who both of these men
00:35:54.780 were killed
00:35:55.500 for challenging,
00:35:58.060 for speaking out.
00:35:58.860 Ayaan Hirsi Ali
00:35:59.940 had to basically
00:36:01.620 flee the country
00:36:02.640 for death threats.
00:36:03.540 So a man
00:36:04.380 who has lived
00:36:05.180 for 20 years
00:36:06.040 under armed guard
00:36:07.320 because he holds
00:36:08.620 these beliefs,
00:36:09.460 there's no way
00:36:10.300 he's going to abandon
00:36:11.020 them now.
00:36:11.480 As you say,
00:36:11.980 I think the challenge
00:36:12.640 is can he work
00:36:13.960 with other parties
00:36:14.920 to get over the hump
00:36:16.100 for a working coalition?
00:36:17.880 Now,
00:36:18.000 tell me about
00:36:18.740 one of the other parties.
00:36:19.960 I understand
00:36:20.800 that another party
00:36:22.860 that actually
00:36:23.980 was for the former
00:36:24.960 PM,
00:36:25.460 Mark Rutte,
00:36:26.300 that the new leader
00:36:28.020 of that party
00:36:28.640 is a Turkish refugee
00:36:29.920 herself
00:36:30.640 who is critical
00:36:32.420 of immigration.
00:36:33.540 Do you know more
00:36:34.200 about these potential
00:36:36.200 coalition partners?
00:36:38.100 Like,
00:36:38.260 are there other people
00:36:39.500 who support
00:36:40.500 an immigration crackdown
00:36:41.780 that Herb Wilders
00:36:42.700 can work with?
00:36:43.320 Well,
00:36:45.100 the VVD
00:36:45.740 has been saying
00:36:46.920 that for years now.
00:36:48.180 That is
00:36:48.460 Margaret's party
00:36:49.340 and indeed
00:36:49.800 it's now led
00:36:50.500 by a Turkish woman
00:36:51.720 and she also,
00:36:53.060 just like,
00:36:53.680 well,
00:36:53.920 every single VVD
00:36:54.840 politician
00:36:55.300 has been quite
00:36:56.660 anti-immigration
00:36:57.480 right before the elections
00:36:58.560 but usually
00:36:59.220 right after the elections
00:37:00.460 and when they are
00:37:01.220 actually elected
00:37:02.340 they change their tunes
00:37:03.360 again and they,
00:37:04.120 you know,
00:37:04.540 they answer to the
00:37:05.140 whims of Brussels.
00:37:06.020 So I wouldn't trust
00:37:07.340 the VVD
00:37:07.920 as far as I could
00:37:08.920 throw them personally
00:37:10.040 but there is a chance
00:37:12.220 now that if they
00:37:13.240 do form a right-wing
00:37:14.280 coalition with some
00:37:15.240 other parties on the
00:37:16.260 right that have
00:37:16.880 taken a stauncher
00:37:18.820 anti-immigration
00:37:19.660 stance than the VVD
00:37:20.880 that that would be
00:37:22.540 a possibility.
00:37:23.940 It remains to be seen
00:37:25.400 because like I said
00:37:26.220 the PVV,
00:37:27.620 Gerard Wilders' party
00:37:28.340 has been excluded
00:37:29.320 from the formation
00:37:31.740 of a coalition
00:37:32.400 for,
00:37:33.040 well,
00:37:33.560 as long basically
00:37:34.180 as they exist.
00:37:34.860 It only happened once
00:37:35.900 and now I think
00:37:37.900 that he has become
00:37:39.160 so big,
00:37:40.420 you know,
00:37:40.640 that they just can't
00:37:41.400 ignore him anymore.
00:37:42.300 If they now try
00:37:43.540 to form a coalition
00:37:44.340 without him,
00:37:45.260 God forbid,
00:37:46.280 you know,
00:37:46.480 I really think
00:37:47.320 that the Dutch
00:37:48.220 people will,
00:37:49.840 well,
00:37:50.360 let's just put it
00:37:51.020 diplomatically,
00:37:52.040 they won't be happy.
00:37:53.000 So I doubt
00:37:54.180 that that's still
00:37:54.820 an option.
00:37:55.500 I think you're right.
00:37:56.600 This is,
00:37:57.260 I think,
00:37:57.520 related to the
00:37:58.380 global uprising
00:37:59.400 of Islamic
00:38:00.460 anti-Semitism
00:38:01.220 because Gerard Wilders
00:38:02.180 has always warned
00:38:03.100 Israel today,
00:38:04.420 Europe tomorrow
00:38:05.120 in terms of
00:38:05.980 the battle plan
00:38:07.120 of Hamas
00:38:08.080 and groups like that.
00:38:08.800 So I think
00:38:09.220 ordinary Dutch people
00:38:10.200 have observed
00:38:11.060 what's going on
00:38:11.720 in the streets
00:38:12.180 and they sort
00:38:12.720 of decided
00:38:13.220 this is the moment.
00:38:14.840 It's very,
00:38:15.760 very late,
00:38:16.620 but if they do
00:38:17.120 want to do something,
00:38:18.400 Gerard Wilders
00:38:18.860 is the man
00:38:19.380 and this election
00:38:19.980 is the time.
00:38:21.040 Let me ask you
00:38:21.480 one last question
00:38:22.120 and then I'll let you go.
00:38:22.840 I know you're
00:38:23.160 on the road
00:38:23.560 doing a documentary.
00:38:25.600 Mark Rutger
00:38:26.100 was the essential
00:38:27.660 World Economic Forum
00:38:29.180 man.
00:38:29.920 He was one of
00:38:31.240 their young leaders
00:38:31.900 if I'm not mistaken.
00:38:32.800 He reminded me
00:38:33.380 in some ways
00:38:33.900 of Justin Trudeau.
00:38:35.100 He wanted to be
00:38:36.040 accepted by the
00:38:37.180 multinational
00:38:38.440 organizations.
00:38:39.680 He didn't believe
00:38:40.520 in local sovereignty.
00:38:42.120 He was at war
00:38:43.140 with the farmers
00:38:43.920 of the Netherlands.
00:38:46.360 Trudeau hates carbon.
00:38:49.540 Rutger went to war
00:38:50.880 against nitrogen
00:38:51.820 and other fertilizers.
00:38:53.600 He really was
00:38:54.800 the perfect
00:38:56.300 Klaus Schwab puppet.
00:38:58.780 I think here at Wilders
00:38:59.820 is the 180 degree opposite
00:39:02.300 and I think it's
00:39:03.300 sort of a backlash
00:39:04.060 to that.
00:39:04.600 You have Javier Millet,
00:39:05.960 the new president
00:39:06.720 of Argentina.
00:39:07.800 I think around the world
00:39:09.160 maybe the pendulum
00:39:09.880 is swinging back
00:39:10.820 against the WEF style
00:39:13.140 of governance.
00:39:14.260 What do you make of that?
00:39:16.280 Yeah, it's about time,
00:39:17.760 Hay, but it's true.
00:39:18.840 There's definitely
00:39:19.340 a wave of patriotism,
00:39:21.440 of nationalism,
00:39:22.580 of the identitarian
00:39:24.440 right wing,
00:39:25.180 anti-immigration
00:39:25.900 right wing
00:39:26.540 in Europe
00:39:27.340 and all around the world
00:39:28.360 and I'm so happy
00:39:29.860 to see it finally.
00:39:31.220 You know,
00:39:31.500 it's clear to me
00:39:33.100 that the intimidation game
00:39:34.620 of calling everybody
00:39:35.740 who opposes immigration
00:39:37.000 or who loves
00:39:37.760 their own country,
00:39:39.160 a racist,
00:39:40.180 a Nazi,
00:39:40.880 xenophobe,
00:39:41.540 whatever,
00:39:41.920 that those days are over.
00:39:43.360 You know,
00:39:43.540 it doesn't work anymore
00:39:45.240 and people go out
00:39:46.820 and they vote
00:39:47.460 and they now vote
00:39:48.300 for a party
00:39:48.800 that has been,
00:39:49.420 as I said,
00:39:49.980 shunned,
00:39:50.720 ridiculed,
00:39:51.400 demonized
00:39:51.960 for as long
00:39:52.720 as it existed
00:39:53.380 and they've gone out
00:39:55.540 in vast numbers
00:39:56.200 and done it
00:39:56.780 and Geert Wilders
00:39:57.620 is somebody
00:39:58.420 who I really trust
00:39:59.640 when he says
00:40:00.360 the Netherlands first.
00:40:01.540 You know,
00:40:02.060 as you mentioned,
00:40:03.160 he has paid
00:40:04.020 a really,
00:40:05.080 really high price
00:40:06.540 throughout his life
00:40:07.720 for his political views
00:40:09.060 and I dare to say
00:40:11.140 that I really believe
00:40:12.080 that Geert Wilders
00:40:12.880 will set
00:40:13.880 or will put
00:40:15.080 the Netherlands first
00:40:16.060 and,
00:40:16.500 well,
00:40:16.960 this next sit,
00:40:18.320 you know,
00:40:19.460 point that he makes
00:40:20.580 all the time
00:40:21.020 that we need
00:40:21.400 to leave the EU
00:40:22.120 I think also proves that.
00:40:23.640 You know,
00:40:23.820 it's not just words for him.
00:40:25.800 Well,
00:40:25.840 that's very exciting.
00:40:26.760 I had the pleasure
00:40:27.340 of going on
00:40:27.940 a small Canadian tour
00:40:29.880 with him
00:40:31.200 probably about 15 years ago now
00:40:33.000 I had published
00:40:34.500 the Danish cartoons
00:40:35.560 of Mohammed in Canada
00:40:37.060 and we went on
00:40:37.680 a speaking tour together
00:40:38.700 and he was very passionate
00:40:41.060 and he was a true believer
00:40:42.540 but the number one thing
00:40:43.860 I took away with me
00:40:44.720 was his life,
00:40:46.520 how he lives
00:40:47.200 under armed guard
00:40:48.280 all the time
00:40:49.480 and when I visited him once
00:40:50.680 in the capital
00:40:52.080 in the Netherlands
00:40:53.180 our meeting was almost
00:40:54.840 called off
00:40:55.360 because there was
00:40:56.020 a death threat.
00:40:56.740 One of his own security guards
00:40:58.080 had leaked
00:40:59.140 Wilders' whereabouts
00:41:00.820 and they were sort of
00:41:02.080 on a lockdown
00:41:02.660 the guy has lived
00:41:04.220 sort of like Salman Rushdie
00:41:06.200 you know,
00:41:06.920 with this fatwa
00:41:07.560 hanging over him
00:41:08.280 and he's an incredible man
00:41:09.860 and I think it's his moment.
00:41:11.580 Speaking of Canadian tours,
00:41:13.040 Eva,
00:41:13.140 I understand you're
00:41:14.000 coming to Canada.
00:41:15.160 What can you tell us
00:41:16.140 about your visit?
00:41:17.040 When is it?
00:41:17.720 What cities are you
00:41:18.500 going to go to?
00:41:19.480 And where can we find
00:41:20.540 more information about it?
00:41:22.480 Yeah,
00:41:22.840 I'm coming to Canada
00:41:23.640 for the first time
00:41:24.580 and I'm very excited
00:41:25.520 because well,
00:41:26.400 you know,
00:41:26.860 Canada and the Netherlands
00:41:27.800 we've already talked about
00:41:29.260 Margaret and Trudeau
00:41:31.260 basically being the same person
00:41:32.800 being a puppet
00:41:33.760 of the same guy
00:41:34.720 having the same globalist
00:41:36.020 destructive ideas
00:41:37.260 and policies
00:41:38.020 and well,
00:41:39.400 you know,
00:41:39.820 I take a lot of hope
00:41:41.120 from the fact
00:41:42.060 that both in Canada
00:41:43.140 with the truckers
00:41:44.340 and in the Netherlands
00:41:45.180 with the farmers
00:41:46.020 we've been able
00:41:46.980 to put up a fight
00:41:47.920 against the globalists
00:41:48.980 and the fact that now
00:41:49.780 Geert Wilders
00:41:50.320 has won this election
00:41:51.200 to me is a real sign
00:41:53.680 of the times
00:41:54.380 that people are done
00:41:55.380 with that
00:41:55.820 and that's something
00:41:57.120 that I'm very happy about
00:41:58.980 and I hope to come to Canada
00:42:00.740 and spread that message
00:42:01.740 of hope
00:42:02.160 and let people know
00:42:02.860 yeah,
00:42:03.240 we can resist this,
00:42:04.520 you know,
00:42:05.120 it's our times,
00:42:06.020 our days are not numbered
00:42:07.080 we can stand up
00:42:08.020 against these guys
00:42:08.740 and we can win
00:42:09.520 we can be successful
00:42:10.520 so I'm coming to Canada
00:42:11.940 very excited
00:42:12.800 I'll be there
00:42:13.520 on the 26th of November
00:42:15.020 so in just a few days
00:42:16.660 I'll go to Vancouver first
00:42:19.060 I'll go to Winnipeg
00:42:20.080 and I'll go to Ottawa
00:42:20.900 and the dates
00:42:23.020 are listed
00:42:23.900 on my Twitter profile
00:42:25.260 or my ex-profile
00:42:26.120 so if you want to go
00:42:26.860 check that out
00:42:27.460 I would love to
00:42:28.420 to see all of you guys
00:42:29.580 and I know that we will
00:42:30.340 be seeing each other Ezra
00:42:31.220 so that's always fun
00:42:32.180 well that's wonderful
00:42:33.140 thank you again
00:42:33.800 welcome to Canada
00:42:34.660 looking forward to having you here
00:42:35.760 and we will
00:42:36.580 put on the bottom
00:42:38.660 of this website
00:42:39.400 the links for people
00:42:40.480 to get tickets
00:42:41.400 to see you
00:42:42.260 in those three cities
00:42:43.600 great to see you
00:42:44.320 Ava Vlardingerbrook
00:42:45.380 good luck in your documentary
00:42:46.940 and we'll see you in Canada
00:42:47.920 thank you
00:42:49.360 thank you Ezra
00:42:50.020 see you soon
00:42:50.820 thanks bye bye
00:42:51.580 well there you have it
00:42:53.000 the news
00:42:53.840 from the Netherlands
00:42:54.980 stay with us
00:42:55.820 I actually recorded
00:43:08.100 that interview
00:43:08.680 with Ava
00:43:09.240 early in the morning
00:43:10.180 because she was overseas
00:43:11.400 and then I went
00:43:12.600 to the synagogue
00:43:13.200 for this absolute gong show
00:43:15.100 of the reporters
00:43:17.260 it's so shocking
00:43:18.640 to see what they must be like
00:43:20.460 every single day
00:43:21.800 and there is a value
00:43:23.360 in Rebel News being here
00:43:24.460 not just that we can bring
00:43:25.800 questions to politicians
00:43:28.840 and get them answered for you
00:43:30.060 it's obvious why Trudeau
00:43:31.400 wouldn't allow us in
00:43:32.300 but just to remind you
00:43:36.460 and remind everybody
00:43:37.500 that Canada's National Press Corps
00:43:39.920 is an absolute disgrace
00:43:42.540 you could have picked
00:43:44.320 six random people
00:43:46.320 off the street
00:43:47.460 six random people
00:43:49.100 in a restaurant
00:43:49.980 and brought them in here
00:43:51.180 and they would have had
00:43:52.220 more honest
00:43:53.000 more thoughtful
00:43:53.980 and more relevant questions
00:43:55.820 than the six clowns
00:43:57.640 that the regime media sent
00:43:58.940 I'm modestly pleased
00:44:02.660 by what Pierre Polyev said
00:44:04.100 he was very cautious
00:44:05.100 fine
00:44:05.700 I think he's doing okay
00:44:06.640 but I was absolutely appalled
00:44:09.540 at the media
00:44:10.900 that you pay for
00:44:12.020 through your taxes
00:44:13.140 from all of us
00:44:15.620 at Rebel News
00:44:16.520 in Toronto
00:44:17.100 and around the country
00:44:18.020 and around the world
00:44:18.720 to you at home
00:44:19.420 goodnight
00:44:20.420 and keep fighting for freedom
00:44:22.420 I'll see you next time
00:44:24.420 I'll see you next time
00:44:25.540 I'll see you next time
