Hello, my Rebels. Today, I take a quick tour around the Commonwealth, our friends, our cultural
00:00:04.920
similars, our comparators, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, places that are pretty much
00:00:11.460
like us. And I show you the worst of the pandemic, illiberal reactions. And I ask you,
00:00:18.960
how long before they're here? But it's sort of a trick question, because I show you
00:00:23.780
every one of the things I point to overseas has already here begun. Before I let you listen to
00:00:30.980
that, let me invite you to become a subscriber to what we call Rebel News Plus. I'm going to show you

Tonight, it's getting worse. They're taking us back into lockdowns. I'll give you a quick
00:01:32.220
update. It's September 30th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:37.280
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:40.780
There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have
00:01:46.040
to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:55.760
I follow the news from around the world because I'm interested in the world and because these
00:01:59.360
days we have similar problems everywhere and it's interesting to compare solutions or problems
00:02:05.700
or, I don't know, it's a warning, a canary in the coal mine would happen somewhere else
00:02:09.720
like Australia and the United Kingdom can happen here very quickly. You've probably seen this
00:02:14.400
footage of a pregnant mum in the Australian state of Victoria. Police burst into her home
00:02:19.920
with an actual search warrant, which means an actual judge signed off on this and the police
00:02:26.380
arrested her. They handcuffed her. They were saying they came to take her away even though she's
00:02:32.380
visibly pregnant, has an ultrasound appointment in an hour, and all of this, why? Did she commit
00:02:38.000
a murder? No. She posted a Facebook post about a peaceful protest against the lockdown, as in
00:02:44.660
she had her home invaded by paramilitary police because she made a Facebook post about the risk
00:02:52.000
of having her home invaded by paramilitary police.
00:02:55.080
Yeah, you can show me your search warrant before you go through my house.
00:03:00.700
Yeah, I own his house. Yeah, it's a search warrant.
00:03:06.320
Search warrant for what? Now, what I want to explain to you is, if you want to listen, you've got your phone going.
00:03:12.320
Yeah, I do, yeah. Right. Now, you're under arrest in relation to incitement.
00:03:16.320
Incitement? Yeah, but you're not obliged to say I do anything, but anything you say I do may be given in evidence.
00:03:22.320
Excuse me, incitement for what? What on earth? Excuse me, what on earth?
00:03:27.980
Just put your phone down. Can you, like, report this? I'm in my pyjamas.
00:03:31.460
What's this? I had an ultrasound in an hour because I'm pregnant.
00:03:40.060
Let me finish and I'll explain. It's in relation to a Facebook post, in relation to a lockdown protest you put on for Saturday.
00:03:47.460
Yeah, and I wasn't breaking any laws by doing that.
00:03:50.020
You are, actually. You are breaking all. That's why I'm arresting you. In relation to incitement.
00:03:56.420
Yeah, that's insane. But those crazy Australians, I mean, that couldn't happen here, could it?
00:04:02.000
Well, let me use the past tense because it has happened here in a less robust way, but it happened.
00:04:07.240
I don't want to let the air out of the balloon on this story because we're about to do a full news report on it in the days ahead.
00:04:12.120
But here's an RCMP officer going to the home of a private citizen, going to his home in a police car, wearing a police uniform, holstering a police gun to talk to him about his Facebook posts about the pandemic measures.
00:04:26.720
You know, I like the idea of police going in a friendly way to visit people who, you know, there's rumors they might be committing a crime, a grow-up.
00:04:36.980
You hear the sounds of a man hitting a woman, God forbid.
00:04:41.280
Did you have some evidence of a crime that maybe a friendly drive over in chat might head off or might detect?
00:04:47.540
I love that. Call that community policing in a way.
00:04:49.820
But there was no underlying crime here, either proven or suspected.
00:04:54.880
It was just some guy writing about pandemic politics.
00:04:59.140
And Justin Trudeau's RCMP thought they needed a bit of a scare.
00:05:05.060
So, like I told you, okay, we just posted something on Facebook.
00:05:09.420
And I just want to see, should I have any concern about what you post on Facebook?
00:05:13.300
You should have no concern about what I post on Facebook.
00:05:22.080
I don't understand why you're here for anything that's posted on Facebook.
00:05:53.060
Less than a month for that idea to move from Australia to Canada.
00:06:07.420
But the government really, really, really wants them to stick a rod up their nose to take a sample and then get it tested and get a result in a few days, a test that has up to 50% false positives.
00:06:20.480
That is according to Ontario's deputy public health officer.
00:06:25.140
You know, I think a lot of people think that testing is going to really solve the whole problem.
00:06:38.760
If you test somebody today, you only know if they're infected today.
00:06:45.480
And in fact, if you're testing in a population that doesn't have very much COVID, you'll get false positives almost half the time.
00:06:53.920
Okay, so in New Zealand, you're completely healthy, no symptoms, and you don't want to take a test.
00:06:59.460
Well, then you'll be held in a new pandemic prison in perpetuity.
00:07:04.420
No hearing, no trial, no habeas corpus, no getting out on bail or parole.
00:07:11.040
Here's the ghoulish prime minister literally laughing about that.
00:07:15.080
You said I wanted to, I've got a number of questions about people refuse, you know, what do we do if someone refuses to be tested?
00:07:26.100
If someone refuses in our facilities to be tested, they have to keep staying.
00:07:39.040
You either get your tests done and make sure you're cleared, or we will keep you in a facility longer.
00:07:44.700
So I think most people will look at that and say, I'll take the test.
00:07:52.320
Laughing about that, but hey, that would never happen here, right?
00:07:57.700
Here's a video translated from French into English by David Freiheit.
00:08:01.020
He has a popular YouTube channel called Viva Frey.
00:08:07.240
He's a recovering lawyer, so he has lots of good legal analysis.
00:08:17.920
By the way, please consider subscribing to David's YouTube channel.
00:08:22.080
Dr. Girard, avant de terminer, il y a une journaliste qui ne pouvait pas être présente ici,
00:08:26.340
qui demande brièvement, est-ce que des ordonnances ont été émises à l'endroit des clients récalcitrants?
00:08:35.600
Est-ce que ça peut être une phrase complète en français?
00:08:39.720
L'ordonnance concernait justement deux personnes qui ne collaboraient pas.
00:08:45.520
Et on trouve que c'est formidable de pouvoir finalement utiliser ce levier-là .
00:08:52.760
Vous savez, avant, si on n'était pas en urgence sanitaire, le directeur de santé publique peut utiliser ce pouvoir pendant 72 heures,
00:09:00.280
en attendant qu'un juge finalement confirme l'ordonnance.
00:09:05.040
Dans le cas de la COVID-19, nous avons la possibilité d'isoler quelqu'un pendant 14 jours.
00:09:10.100
Et c'est ce que nous avons fait ce matin, et c'est ce que nous avons déjà fait dans le passé.
00:09:16.560
Et on a aussi, comme on l'a fait ce matin, obligé une personne à collaborer à l'enquête.
00:09:21.680
Et on l'avait déjà fait dans le passé, avec succès, et avec une collaboration extraordinaire des corps policiers.
00:09:29.260
Merci à tout le monde pour passer une bonne fin de journée.
00:09:34.780
Quand vous avez donné quelqu'un pendant 14 jours à rester chez eux, là , c'est pas chez eux que ça se passe.
00:09:39.760
14 jours, là , le séjour, c'est à la prison de la Vogueuse, et puis, là , c'est une famille de détention.
00:09:45.220
Est-ce que vous avez l'impression d'être dans une prison?
00:09:49.920
Parce que, c'est ça, souvent, ce qu'on fait, c'est que c'est un endroit.
00:09:54.560
Nous, comme on est, le CIUSSS, en fait, a la possibilité d'offrir, justement, des isolements préventifs.
00:10:06.200
C'est une disposition qui est beaucoup plus facile quand on a quelqu'un qui ne collabore pas, puis ça devient vraiment complexe.
00:10:13.320
La personne s'est surveillée, mais elle est en isolement, exactement où ça peut être nécessaire.
00:10:25.120
Parce qu'on a eu des personnes qu'on a isolées chez eux.
00:10:30.260
À un moment donné, la personne, on voyait bien qu'elle n'était pas chez elle.
00:10:38.220
On vous isole là où on veut que vous soyez, où vous observez la règle.
00:10:55.720
C'est une ordonnance, en fait, où les deux personnes, parce que l'ordonnance, on la transmet aux policiers.
00:11:03.980
On peut faire sur une ordonnance, on peut identifier plusieurs personnes.
00:11:10.560
Généralement, c'est une ordonnance, une personne, là , qui est récalcitante, là , qui ne coopère pas.
00:11:15.240
OK. Donc, il y a deux ordonnances, puis une pour collaborer à l'enquête, puis l'autre pour rester à la maison.
00:11:20.820
Oui. C'est une disposition légale émise par l'ordonnance qui nous permet, justement, d'obliger ces personnes-là contre leur gré.
00:11:30.280
Il faut bien le dire, c'est ça, mais dans l'intérêt public.
00:11:38.220
C'est une ordonnance dans laquelle on a, oui, parce que c'est une technicalité, là , de juridique, là , que vous ne demandez-moi pas de l'expliquer, là .
00:11:47.580
C'est les avocats qui gèrent ça, là , mais on sait que ça se passe.
00:11:50.820
Oh, so they just plain old arrest people who were at a bar.
00:12:13.040
Putting people in secret holding facilities, as long as they want.
00:12:18.040
And the gentle laughter under it, just like Jacinda Ardern, just laughing in New Zealand.
00:12:26.160
And I told you yesterday about how various governments are now blacklisting and deplatforming and boycotting a Quebec city radio station that dares to criticize that government's out-of-control lockdowns.
00:12:44.060
Montreal restaurateurs in shock after provincial government orders 28-day closure.
00:12:53.140
Montreal restaurateurs say they don't understand why the provincial government is ordering their businesses to close, even though there have been no COVID-19 outbreaks tied to the city's famed restaurant industry.
00:13:05.220
On Monday, authorities moved Montreal and Quebec City to the highest COVID-19 alert level.
00:13:11.760
Banning private indoor gatherings and shutting bars, cinemas, and restaurant dining rooms for 28 days.
00:13:25.780
Did any politicians or lawyers or bureaucrats lose work?
00:13:29.500
Well, of course, many in the ruling class had a six-month paid vacation without the work, but they got paid.
00:13:35.960
Teachers unions are aching to shut down their schools.
00:13:39.960
They prefer to be paid to sit at home watching Netflix.
00:13:43.180
Not one single child in our country has died from the virus.
00:13:49.320
The teachers don't want to teach, but they want to be paid.
00:13:51.620
We were told constantly about our saintly doctors and nurses.
00:13:57.560
And at some risk, I acknowledge, as there always is in a hospital, but most hospitals in Canada were empty and are still partly empty.
00:14:07.800
In Ontario, each virus patient has two hospitals themselves.
00:14:11.380
That's why hundreds of doctors and nurses killed time by making these execrable TikTok videos of themselves dancing and lip-singing and getting paid.
00:14:22.340
Too bad, so sad for you restauranteurs and waitresses and bartenders.
00:14:32.080
But in the United Kingdom, they have the most bizarre rules that change in the dead of night.
00:14:37.160
Bars have to close at 10 p.m. or is it 9 p.m. now?
00:14:49.520
This law was passed last night at midnight, so technically this very morning.
00:14:56.460
No one in Parliament read it, let alone voted on it.
00:14:59.060
They weren't showing it until it was the law at midnight or 12.01.
00:15:14.280
Perhaps the dumbest, but it's a real contest for the dumbest part.
00:15:17.260
I'm going to read about a solid minute's worth of verbiage.
00:15:20.680
Not to bore you, but to show you how impenetrable the language is.
00:15:25.080
Tell me that any citizen or bar or restaurant could understand this,
00:15:38.380
By the way, N-E-N-W stands for the Northeast and Northwest of England.
00:15:47.900
A. In groups of more than six, where the premises are located in an area which is not part of the protected area for the purposes of the Northeast and Northwest regulations,
00:15:57.660
unless one of the exceptions in Regulation 5 of the principal regulations applies,
00:16:02.920
or two, where the premises are located in an area which is a protected area for the purpose of the Northeast and Northwest regulations,
00:16:09.320
A. In groups of more than six, where the group is located outdoors,
00:16:13.540
unless one of the exceptions in Regulation 5 of the principal regulations applies,
00:16:22.420
unless one of the exemptions in Regulation 6B or 6E of the Northeast and Northwest regulations applies,
00:16:39.460
Do you understand a word of that other than singing is now banned?
00:16:48.860
And does that apply to rapping as well, or talking loud?
00:16:58.800
Is la-la-la considered singing, even if that's not really a word?
00:17:08.960
and someone is in their own group across the pub,
00:17:18.480
Ten pages of that released at midnight last night.
00:17:23.800
Here's a London civil liberties lawyer who actually read the whole law.
00:17:29.340
I just gave a lecture to Bristol law students on human rights and COVID-19.
00:17:35.640
Can your university lawfully imprison you in your accommodation blocks?
00:17:50.960
Here's the news from a tyrannical regime called Venezuela.
00:17:55.700
A wave of demonstrations has erupted across Venezuela
00:18:14.040
sometimes resulting in skirmishes with riot police.
00:18:17.940
Look, they've got nothing to lose in Venezuela.
00:19:38.380
So Quebec has shut down businesses in Canada's second largest city, Montreal, despite no outbreaks.
00:19:46.720
They're not even pretending not to censor dissidents anymore, or lock them up.
00:19:53.440
Doug Ford in Ontario is threatening people, threatening them, threats.
00:19:58.840
Hey, are you watching the worst that the pandemic is doing around the world?
00:20:03.780
Like the worst ideas, the worst violations, cooked up by tyrants everywhere?
00:20:11.200
You'll just have to guess if it's humming, or whispering, or rapping, or talking loud.
00:20:20.540
Just watch what's being done in our fellow Commonwealth countries, Australia, New Zealand, and the
00:20:23.740
United Kingdom, and remember that we are no different here.
00:20:50.100
Well, for those of you who tuned in last night, you'll know some of my thoughts and Sheila Gunn-Reed's
00:20:55.880
thoughts on the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
00:21:00.340
My main takeaway was what a disaster the debate was in terms of process, procedure, format,
00:21:07.200
and the interventionism of the supposedly neutral moderator, Chris Wallace.
00:21:13.340
As our friend Joel Pollack points out, Wallace not only over-talked the candidates and by a
00:21:18.980
margin of five to one over-talked Donald Trump, he brought factual errors into the debate, and
00:21:24.100
he engaged in some partisan banter, too, that was not his place.
00:21:27.280
But what was the substance of the actual debate?
00:21:35.000
Joining us now to talk about it is the author of an incredible book on Ilhan Omar.
00:21:40.680
We've talked to him before, Benjamin Weingarten's book, American In Great, Ilhan Omar and the
00:21:47.140
progressive Islamist takeover of the Democratic Party.
00:21:57.280
I think Chris Wallace tried to be the winner of the debate.
00:22:01.280
I'm not sure if he succeeded ultimately, given that we just found out word before this broadcast
00:22:07.340
that the debate commission would be changing the structure of the debates going forward.
00:22:13.020
I do think on the substance, and very important to point this out, there were any number of
00:22:18.860
issues on which Joe Biden essentially said, I have no answer.
00:22:22.880
And I'll just tick through them really quickly because they're incredibly significant when
00:22:27.180
it comes to thinking about the stakes of this election.
00:22:30.440
And that's really what these debates should be about.
00:22:37.660
He had no and his relationship to it, because, of course, Hunter Biden and his family members
00:22:41.660
were profiting from all sorts of adversarial foreign regimes while Vice President Biden was
00:22:47.740
vice president, the filibuster, lack of support from law enforcement, Biden's accomplishments
00:22:53.300
in 47 years versus Trump's accomplishments in 47 months, coronavirus strategy, environmental
00:22:59.780
So President Trump got Biden on record or not on record, as the case may be on this litany
00:23:08.180
And he also broke through the veneer of this affable Uncle Joe.
00:23:11.920
And I think he pretty effectively forced Biden to infuriate the left by denouncing all the
00:23:18.460
positions that are right in the Biden-Bernie Sanders unity agenda.
00:23:22.860
So I think on the substance, those were hugely impactful hits.
00:23:25.900
My main takeaway, though, is that last time around in 2016, it was very clear that Trump
00:23:32.940
defined Hillary Clinton, besides being crooked Hillary, as really not having much of any
00:23:39.780
You could not, in a sentence, define what Hillary Clinton was running on.
00:23:47.920
President Trump, on the other hand, as the insurgent candidate last time, ran on America
00:23:52.380
first, get out of bad trade deals, put the American worker first.
00:23:56.020
Let's get back to a patriotic country with a vibrant civil society where we're going to
00:24:00.900
protect the people who are under fire from progressive elites, build the wall and the
00:24:06.060
And I think in the next debate going forward and vice presidential as well, there needs
00:24:10.940
to be an emphasis on creating a contrast not only in the personalities of the individuals,
00:24:15.380
but in the vision for this country and what's at stake.
00:24:18.480
Because I think on that basis, Donald Trump kills Joe Biden, but it needs to be made abundantly
00:24:25.580
Yeah, last night felt squabbly and quarrelsome.
00:24:29.840
Obviously, it's a debate, so it's going to have some of that in it.
00:24:32.600
But it felt like it was devolving into a muddle and a mess.
00:24:36.740
I saw that announcement that you referred to that the debates commission wants to change
00:24:41.640
I'm guessing they're going to cut the mics of the opposing candidate when the other candidate
00:24:49.840
That's one of my predictions of the changes to be made.
00:24:53.040
I think that, I hope that the other debates are more clarifying.
00:25:01.540
Biden was clearly very practiced, had his talking points and managed to get through them without
00:25:07.100
I think Trump felt a little bit like he does as a campaign speech, stream of consciousness,
00:25:13.400
some talking points, but not practiced lines of what he thought was going to come up in
00:25:22.180
Maybe he's too busy or didn't compel himself to go into that discipline or thought, well,
00:25:28.200
I'm great with the media, unlike Joe Biden, I'll just wing it.
00:25:30.940
It just felt like he was winging it a bit to me.
00:25:33.860
Those are my thoughts, but let me ask you a question, because you mentioned that Trump
00:25:39.160
managed to get Biden to move to the center, and on environmental radicalism, we saw Biden
00:25:46.160
very clearly disavowed the Green New Deal, and I think that Biden also tried to claim he
00:25:54.920
was more about law and order than he has been in the past.
00:25:57.240
But here's my point to you, and I said this to Sheila Gunn-Reed last night, I don't think
00:26:04.620
that's going to drive a wedge between Joe Biden and his left-wing base, because I think that they
00:26:09.520
will vote against Trump no matter what, and they're delighted that Biden says whatever he has to say
00:26:19.420
So if Biden fibs, throws the AOC wing, the Ilhan Omar wing of the party under the bus in a debate
00:26:26.780
that millions of Americans are watching, I think the Antifa wing, the squad, that part of the party
00:26:33.120
doesn't care, because by any means necessary, say whatever you have to, lie, cheat, whatever it takes
00:26:41.140
to win, just win, and they'll figure it out after the revolution.
00:26:44.220
I think you're right that ultimately Joe Biden has, candidate Joe Biden, and I always put it
00:26:52.000
in parentheses because he hasn't really run per se, and when he said Harris Biden, I think that was
00:26:58.660
an accurate description of what this ticket is. Kamala Harris in some ways really embodies the nature
00:27:04.260
of the party today because it's all about power at any cost, no matter what, the ends justify the
00:27:09.960
means. It's about control over us ultimately, and Joe Biden has always been the Trojan horse
00:27:15.920
candidate for the leftist energy within their party, so I agree. It's not that he's going to
00:27:21.540
lose votes as a consequence of trying to create a wedge there, but I think it is to try to stir up
00:27:27.160
some dissension to the extent it can be stirred on their side. What I would suggest is that the
00:27:31.920
president ought to do two things next time. First of all, when he's being attacked by the moderator,
00:27:36.760
and it's clear that every question is about ultimately trying to frame orange man bad,
00:27:43.040
the Democrat message, is say, I reject the premise of your question, and it should offend
00:27:47.800
the American people that you think so little of them. And then he should pivot to, here's what
00:27:52.360
you're trying to get at by framing this question as such. Why don't you ask my opponent XYZ? I think
00:27:57.580
that would be a very effective tact next time. And then number two, he has to make it very clear
00:28:02.720
that Biden is the candidate of a radical left that ultimately wants to pillage your bank account,
00:28:07.800
wants to destroy the suburbs, and make it very clear the Democrats' anti-suburb Obama-Biden plan,
00:28:13.620
make it very clear that he's going to not just cripple your 401k and raise your taxes and all
00:28:19.020
the rest, but ultimately that their party is a party that is anti-American, that wants to destroy the
00:28:23.940
America we know and love. And Biden may disavow that, but you need to get him on very crisp,
00:28:28.820
succinct points, disavowing it. He didn't do that last night. The contrast in the two visions has
00:28:35.700
to be made clear. It's absolutely imperative that it be made clear in the next couple presidential
00:28:40.280
debates. Yeah. Let me ask you about something. I mean, I'm interested in China, not just because
00:28:44.980
of the virus, which is how it came up last night, but there's so many other factors. China's regional
00:28:51.000
expansionism, it's practically in a war with India. It's building offshore islands to threaten the
00:28:57.500
Philippines and Taiwan. It's threatening war with Taiwan. It's aggressive regionally. It's engaging
00:29:04.360
in cybersecurity threats against America, whether it's Huawei or TikTok or just plain old industrial
00:29:10.980
espionage. Then there's the economic warfare. I was sort of surprised that China didn't come up
00:29:17.780
really at all, other than a few glancing moments. And frankly, foreign policy didn't come up at all.
00:29:22.920
Here's a president who has negotiated seemingly impossible peace deals in the Middle East.
00:29:29.280
Is it just because it wasn't scripted in the debate agenda? Or do you think maybe Americans don't
00:29:34.780
really care about foreign affairs? That's a distraction for the political class. And Americans,
00:29:40.500
you know, prefer other matters. Why didn't, like China seems like an awfully large issue
00:29:47.620
Yeah, there were no real questions that sort of pushed the debate towards it based upon the six
00:29:54.280
topics that were telegraphed in advance of the debate. But I absolutely think even though the
00:29:59.960
American people will not vote on national security and foreign policy, while they will vote on homeland
00:30:05.000
security, they may not vote on the Abraham Accord and comedy between Arab and Israel. That's really
00:30:11.440
Arab nations in Israel, which is really unprecedented or confronting communist China, the greatest threat.
00:30:17.260
To American liberty of any adversary in the world or countering Russia, even though Trump gets
00:30:22.440
attacked as a Putin puppet over and over again, he has countered them to a huge extent through NATO
00:30:28.940
and well beyond in terms of Nord Stream 2. And we can tick off the list of items rebuilding our
00:30:35.340
military and the like. I absolutely think that this is a huge weak point for Joe Biden. I've written
00:30:40.520
any number of columns at Newsweek, at The Federalist, at The American Mind, talking about the fact that
00:30:45.800
Joe Biden is the perfect embodiment with respect to China of the globalist, progressive elite classes
00:30:52.480
aiding, abetting and enabling of China for nearly 50 years. And Biden did it at the highest levels of
00:30:57.920
power, of course, because remember, he was the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
00:31:01.560
when he wasn't chairing it. He was the ranking member in the minority. And then he was the vice
00:31:05.740
president where he his job was to handle the China portfolio. And in particular, in conjunction with
00:31:11.080
the rise of General Secretary Xi, and at every turn, I've written about this at length, Joe Biden
00:31:16.780
was a supporter of communist China's rise. That has to be hammered home to the American people that
00:31:22.280
the destruction of manufacturing in this country, the stealing of hundreds of billions, if not
00:31:27.680
trillions of dollars in intellectual property from Americans, all manner of national security threats
00:31:33.300
posed by a rising China. Joe Biden enabled that to happen. And oh, by the way, his son,
00:31:38.240
Hunter, and this also has to be made clear, seemed to be profiting to the tune of millions of dollars,
00:31:42.780
as well as his other family members as well. By the way, if you read closely in that Senate
00:31:47.040
Joint Committee report, they were all profiting from those linked to the Chinese Communist Party
00:31:51.920
and the PLA, the Chinese Communist Party's military apparatus, while Joe Biden was vice
00:31:57.940
president in office. So the question has to be posed. What did Joe Biden know? When did he know
00:32:03.020
it? And why didn't he do anything about it? And again, I think that needs to be made crystal
00:32:06.540
clear in the next debate, as does this simple distinction. I wrote about this in Newsweek in
00:32:11.300
advance of the debate, and happy to share that link. Very clearly, do you believe in an America
00:32:16.560
first national security and foreign policy that's built in peace through strength? Or do you believe
00:32:21.820
in a national security and foreign policy that's about aiding, abetting, and enabling our worst
00:32:26.620
adversaries to the benefit of our worst adversaries? And it needs to be made crystal clear
00:32:30.260
that that's the difference between the Obama-Biden agenda and the Trump agenda.
00:32:34.900
You know, one of the questions, one of the themes that Chris Wallace did, and if I heard him right,
00:32:40.840
he said he himself came up with the questions. He was asking about the Paris Global Warming
00:32:46.440
Accords, which is a non-binding meeting that the United Nations held in 2016, I believe, in Paris,
00:32:55.240
about carbon dioxide emissions. The fact that that would be one of the top six things he wants to
00:33:05.060
talk about in this debate felt so like reheated leftovers from an earlier campaign, not a mention
00:33:14.020
about censorship, tech dominance, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter bias, not a mention about cancel culture in
00:33:24.760
general. I just, I felt like the ground was strong for Joe Biden. Trump didn't reach for some of those
00:33:33.440
issues that cross over into, that would excite people. I mean, when I hear global warming, I just glaze over.
00:33:40.000
Now, maybe it's because I'm a skeptic, but I don't think that's going to rev up American voters. You start
00:33:45.140
talking about transgender extremism. You start talking about, you know, people aren't allowed to say things freely
00:33:52.760
in the internet. Maybe those sound like small and unimportant things, but I think they touch on a larger
00:33:57.640
change in America. I don't know. Do you think, I just wish that there was, that there had been more substance
00:34:04.440
and I'd wish that it hadn't been just reheated blather that felt like it could have been in the 2016 election.
00:34:13.080
I don't know. I guess I'm complaining to you about a debate. What can I do?
00:34:17.280
Well, I, I, I, I 100% agree with you. And I think the questions were a perfect representation of what
00:34:23.680
the political class thinks the important issues are for the American people. And as I've argued
00:34:28.360
before, what the political class thinks is mainstream is radical. And what mainstream America
00:34:34.120
thinks is mainstream, the political class thinks is radical. It was not at all an accurate depiction
00:34:39.820
of what are the issues that, as you put it, rev up voters. But I do think the point that you make
00:34:45.380
is a critical one, which is I've argued, I've long argued that I don't believe they're really
00:34:50.440
undecideds in this election. Everyone knows who Joe Biden is. Everyone knows who Donald Trump is.
00:34:56.320
I think it comes down to energy and intensity, which in turn generates turnout. And then maybe
00:35:01.460
in those swing states, a few issues that could really push at the margins, one candidate over the
00:35:07.000
top against another. So in my sort of pregame notes that I wrote at Newsweek yesterday, I said,
00:35:12.000
Donald Trump has energized his base and Donald Trump has to make appeals in those swing states
00:35:16.840
and show that the issues where Joe Biden will just cripple people and Donald Trump will support
00:35:22.320
their dreams and aspirations. So for example, in Pennsylvania, on fracking, a key issue when it
00:35:27.460
comes down to Florida, supporting tyrannical regimes like the Cuban communist regime that Joe Biden and
00:35:33.220
Barack Obama sought a total detente with. You could tick off the list of issues there that I think are
00:35:38.020
critical issues. And you've seen some movement in the polls on those issues. But I really think it
00:35:42.020
comes down to energizing your base, which means hitting those core issues that you're speaking
00:35:46.300
to, and then also tipping these swing states in your direction. And so hopefully Donald Trump can
00:35:51.840
set the narrative in the debates going forward, because this really is, everyone says that every
00:35:55.960
election is the most important election of all time. But this really is like one man against a wave
00:36:00.520
of tyranny here. So he needs to get it right. And he needs to be victorious, in my view.
00:36:04.760
Last question. And I think this one might be one you have a particularly interesting opinion on.
00:36:11.460
In the last few days, Project Veritas has released undercover footage of vote buying,
00:36:18.180
vote harvesting in Minnesota involving the Somali community. And of course, that's where Ilhan Omar
00:36:25.660
has her power base. Let me play a quick clip that James O'Keefe released just a few days ago.
00:36:32.260
Massive viewership online, almost completely ignored by the mainstream media. Here, take a look at this.
00:36:38.960
Project Veritas has received an explosive piece of tape. The tape you're about to see shows a man
00:36:51.340
buying a registration form for an absentee ballot from a voter, giving him, quote,
00:36:56.300
pocket money, unquote, of $200 and expecting to collect his ballot when the voter receives it.
00:37:34.000
Now you wrote the book on Ilhan Omar, American Ingrate.
00:37:41.520
I think that just as important as making good points in a debate is how America responds to clear cheating, rigging, vote buying, ballot stuffing.
00:37:55.360
And I don't think that that is being taken seriously by the establishment except for the establishment that's in on it.
00:38:05.140
Those government officials who are part of the scheme.
00:38:09.860
That's my real worry is that, you know, you've got the tech bias that's going to be good for a few points in the ballot.
00:38:16.880
I think these shenanigans, these bending of the voting rules, that's probably good for a few points in a place like Minnesota.
00:38:31.400
And there's a reason that we saw these news reports about the Biden team hiring hundreds of lawyers in advance of the election.
00:38:38.960
About these Democrats and never Trumpers doing this war gaming about what happens in a contested race to try to paint it as well.
00:38:46.880
Donald Trump won't leave and Donald Trump supporters will riot and loot in the streets, which is, of course, what Democrats are doing.
00:38:52.620
And if you want to look at what Democrats plan on doing, just look at what they accuse the President Trump and Republicans of doing in connection with this.
00:39:01.040
But they want to create a scenario where it does come down to lawfare and the arcane rules associated with each state and which judges do they potentially have locks on.
00:39:11.000
And also for the Democrats, can they swing some state assemblies so that they get a majority of states to be Democrats that if it comes to it and there's a vote in the House where each state has one vote, Democrats can win.
00:39:23.120
I mean, Democrats are perfectionists and they've turned it into an art trying to win on these sorts of rules.
00:39:29.300
They don't want it to be you walk into a voting booth, your vote is counted and that's it.
00:39:34.940
They want you to be as far removed as possible from who's doing the vote counting and who is ultimately certifying and who's ultimately going to win, which is scary for the American Republic.
00:39:43.320
And I'm really glad that President Trump did hammer home the point about why are you asking me about a transition of power?
00:39:49.280
Because Joe Biden and Barack Obama were the ones who did everything they could to halt a peaceful transfer of power to spy on and then sabotage and ultimately try to topple his presidency.
00:39:59.760
It's a disaster for the country that it's come down to this because the establishment hate this gut so much that they don't want to leave a chance again that somehow they could lose to Donald Trump.
00:40:09.540
So Ilhan Omar in particular, this would be just another element of fraud on top of the marriage fraud, the student alleged student loan fraud, all manner of fraud.
00:40:20.420
We could tick through the list of items her now husband, former, it seems, lover who she paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to as a campaign consultant.
00:40:28.120
I mean, you can run down the list. I think she's the perfect representative, though, of the Democratic Party in 2020.
00:40:33.260
And that was the purpose of my book, American Ingrade, to make that case.
00:40:36.000
And this summer of discontent in the fall has really proved it with this alleged election fraud ballot harvesting scheme, which, of course, shows for the progressive Democrats the willingness to win at all costs with a 1619 riot that we witnessed this summer.
00:40:50.600
And she's the first of all, starting in her district in Minneapolis.
00:40:54.640
But then second of all, her talking about the need to dismantle the system, defund the cops, abolish basically all rules and authorities that then you can have a progressive Gestapo sort of police force in the streets and mind control as well from their officers throughout every cultural institution.
00:41:12.560
And then, of course, you've seen in recent interviews and the Democrats writ large have tried to make this election about bigots versus anti bigots or racist versus anti racist.
00:41:21.520
And basically, if you hold any conservative traditional ideas, those are at their roots, racist ideas, capitalism being racist, individual rights being racist, justice is, you know, Martin Luther King would have conceived of it being racist.
00:41:34.620
So she's the perfect representative of it. She embodies all of these beliefs. She is at their most on her most unvarnished of all the Democrats in it.
00:41:43.300
And I think if you want to see where the Democrats not just are going, but really are today, look to Ilhan Omar in Minneapolis, which has been a disaster for those citizens who are most in need, by the way.
00:41:52.860
Yeah, isn't that the truth? Well, great to catch up with you, Benjamin Weingarten, author of American In Great.
00:41:58.980
These are heavy days and just barely a month to go. Thanks for joining us.
00:42:04.140
All right. Thank you. Stay with us. More happy days.
00:42:17.440
Hey, welcome back to my monologue last night on Schwa FM.
00:42:20.720
Diane writes, Schwa FM Radio X is the only radio talking to the population and telling the truth, not accepting the government advertisement.
00:42:27.560
Yeah. But I don't know how they're going to be able to survive if every advertiser is bullied, pressured to cancel them.
00:42:37.000
We have learned to survive without advertising through your help.
00:42:40.780
You pay subscriptions to watch this and we have crowdfunding.
00:42:45.520
How does that apply to a radio station that's used to selling ads? I'm worried for them.
00:42:54.000
I can tell you that there is no room for divergent opinions.
00:42:56.880
The mainstream media works for the government and despise the people.
00:43:00.440
Oh, yeah. I mean, you know, it's a total divide because of the language.
00:43:04.980
They're not part of the Mean Girls Club of Ottawa and Toronto.
00:43:15.220
And, of course, they're absolutely in bed with the government.
00:43:18.340
Every media company is because they're all on a different form of bailout of regulation.
00:43:26.180
And we have tyrants at every level of government at every level.
00:43:29.720
Quebec City Council looks petty and weak over this.
00:43:33.420
Yeah, but it's not the 9,000 bucks that's going to hurt Schwa FM.
00:43:37.580
It's the fact that now activists will say, oh, Quebec City quit.
00:43:46.480
You either join the mob or you'll be eaten by it.
00:43:50.460
I'm going to try and talk to my friends over there at Schwa FM.
00:43:53.220
Occasionally, I'm interviewed by Dominic Moret over there.
00:43:55.140
I'm going to try and talk to them and see what's really going on.
00:43:57.460
It's hard to know if you're learning about it through the prism of the government media.
00:44:04.520
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
