Rebel News Podcast - Justin Trudeau plunges in the polls

00:00:00.000 Tonight, Justin Trudeau plunges in the polls, and he starts to lash out.

00:00:05.320 It's December 19th, and you're watching The Ezra LeVance Show.

00:00:13.360 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:17.140 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:20.860 You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.

00:00:24.180 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it

00:00:27.820 is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:00:34.780 Angus Reid published a new poll, and it is so bad for Justin Trudeau.

00:00:39.640 Let me quote,

00:00:40.900 With less than a year before an expected election,

00:00:43.780 the number of people who favor Trudeau has fallen to 35%,

00:00:47.400 down from 46% this time a year ago.

00:00:51.040 For the first time since October 2015,

00:00:54.560 he is no longer seen as the national party leader

00:00:57.220 who would be the best prime minister.

00:01:00.760 Now, obviously, a year is an extremely long time in politics,

00:01:05.000 and Trudeau is about to dump $595 million in bailout money

00:01:10.060 into the few remaining media companies in Canada

00:01:13.900 that he doesn't already control.

00:01:15.320 But still, just 35% of Canadians approve of his conduct.

00:01:20.680 58% disapprove.

00:01:22.500 Look at this chart from Angus Reid.

00:01:25.420 I think it has an important qualification in it.

00:01:30.320 Just hold this on the screen for a bit here.

00:01:33.420 Of the 35% who support Trudeau,

00:01:36.440 that's the blue bars on the left,

00:01:39.040 8% strongly support him,

00:01:42.640 and 27% sort of support him.

00:01:45.620 So that 8% would be the people who love him,

00:01:48.820 like the staff of the CBC,

00:01:51.000 and professional anti-pipeline lobbyists,

00:01:53.900 and maybe some immigration consultants, probably.

00:01:57.860 So of the 35% who like him,

00:01:59.600 just a small number really like him.

00:02:02.360 Single digits.

00:02:04.580 But look at those who dislike him.

00:02:06.480 Those are the red bars.

00:02:08.040 That's the people who disapprove of him.

00:02:10.640 58% of Canadians are in this category.

00:02:12.960 But look at how they break down.

00:02:14.880 39% say they strongly dislike him.

00:02:18.460 As in, they're not just tired of him, or bored,

00:02:20.760 or, yeah, I'm up for a change.

00:02:22.080 They actively, deeply loathe the guy.

00:02:25.620 I think that's what that means, isn't it?

00:02:29.420 I mean, what do you think?

00:02:30.840 Do you think that the unemployed men and women of Alberta

00:02:33.200 are lukewarm about Trudeau?

00:02:35.780 Maybe those auto workers in Oshawa

00:02:37.500 that GM has just laid off,

00:02:39.040 just weeks after Trudeau mismanaged

00:02:41.100 the NAFTA negotiations.

00:02:42.160 Do you think they're lukewarm?

00:02:44.560 Do you think Quebeckers who live near

00:02:45.740 the illegal border crossing at Roxham Road

00:02:48.360 are iffy?

00:02:49.520 Ah, I could take Trudeau or take him or leave him.

00:02:52.840 Or do you think they despise Trudeau?

00:02:55.880 How about construction workers in the Atlantic

00:02:57.840 who lost a $15.7 billion construction job

00:03:02.780 called Energy East

00:03:04.420 because of Trudeau's obsession

00:03:05.780 with carbon dioxide or whatever?

00:03:07.880 How about any other working man

00:03:09.540 in the whole country

00:03:10.240 that Trudeau just blithely

00:03:11.840 called rapists in waiting?

00:03:14.340 You might not say,

00:03:16.480 oh, what does a gender lens have to do

00:03:18.060 with building this new highway

00:03:19.220 or this new pipeline or something?

00:03:21.420 Well, there are gender impacts.

00:03:23.820 When you bring construction workers

00:03:25.240 into a rural area,

00:03:26.660 there are social impacts

00:03:28.060 because they're mostly male construction workers.

00:03:30.300 How are you adjusting and adapting to those?

00:03:33.280 That's what the gender lens

00:03:34.820 in GBA plus budgeting is all about.

00:03:36.860 Yeah, seriously.

00:03:39.920 What red-blooded man would think,

00:03:43.260 yeah, that guy Trudeau, he really gets it?

00:03:47.360 Or this from Catherine McKenna,

00:03:49.060 the global warming extremist,

00:03:51.320 telling a prairie farmer just the other day

00:03:53.360 who was saying,

00:03:54.600 I just can't afford this.

00:03:55.940 I just can't afford your carbon tax.

00:03:57.680 Catherine McKenna is saying,

00:03:59.960 this prairie farmer should just suck it up.

00:04:02.220 Just suck it up.

00:04:02.980 Just pay a carbon tax on all her fuel.

00:04:06.380 And if she has a problem with that,

00:04:07.820 well, she just needs to be a better farmer.

00:04:10.140 She needs to download, I don't know,

00:04:12.440 the government's bilingual farming app or something.

00:04:16.260 Catherine McKenna actually told her

00:04:17.520 to use artificial intelligence to farm smarter.

00:04:23.320 That's what she should do.

00:04:25.360 The biggest challenge as a farmer for me

00:04:28.700 is going to be the carbon pricing

00:04:29.980 because agriculture is pretty much the only industry

00:04:32.700 where we don't get to pass on that additional cost

00:04:35.200 to our operation.

00:04:37.320 So carbon pricing is going to be

00:04:39.040 an extremely challenging bill

00:04:40.680 for a lot of farmers to be able to deal with.

00:04:42.640 She can't raise the price of her grain

00:04:44.600 or she'll be forced out of the market.

00:04:46.520 So maybe this explains

00:04:48.280 why you've got all the prairie premiers

00:04:50.680 basically saying, or most of them saying,

00:04:52.980 we don't want a carbon price.

00:04:54.320 How do you win over farmers like her?

00:04:57.340 Look, if anyone understands

00:04:59.040 the impacts of climate change,

00:05:00.560 it's farmers.

00:05:01.100 Our system will give more money back

00:05:03.780 to residents of that province

00:05:05.340 than they will pay

00:05:06.280 and it will create the incentives for innovation.

00:05:08.560 And I've seen amazing innovations in farming,

00:05:11.160 for example.

00:05:12.280 Zero till agriculture,

00:05:14.520 using less water,

00:05:16.420 using smart technologies,

00:05:18.320 artificial intelligence

00:05:19.440 to figure out how you can use less fertilizer,

00:05:22.840 how you can do a better job tilling,

00:05:25.560 how you can get better results.

00:05:26.800 We can all do this.

00:05:28.820 But if we don't,

00:05:30.440 the impact will be dire on farms.

00:05:34.600 Yeah.

00:05:35.140 Do you think farmers are,

00:05:36.480 yeah, I could take Trudeau or leave him?

00:05:38.480 Or do you think they despise him?

00:05:42.380 And nothing is like the scolding,

00:05:44.700 smearing, name-calling from Ahmed Hassan,

00:05:47.780 the Somali refugee to Canada

00:05:49.620 who wants to open up our borders

00:05:51.620 to unlimited, more refugees.

00:05:53.800 And even though we saved his life,

00:05:56.060 we took him in,

00:05:58.180 he says we're racist?

00:06:00.500 Asylum seekers are processed

00:06:02.000 in a separate queue of the IRB

00:06:04.700 and all the other regular immigration programs

00:06:07.640 are processed by IRCC.

00:06:09.620 And conflating the two knowingly

00:06:11.660 is irresponsible,

00:06:13.280 it's divisive,

00:06:14.380 it's fear-mongering,

00:06:15.540 and it is not Canadian.

00:06:16.880 What's so surprising to me

00:06:20.860 is that Trudeau is disliked

00:06:23.820 in every single region in Canada.

00:06:26.840 Hold this up on the screen for a bit here.

00:06:28.940 This shows it by province and by region.

00:06:32.200 So, obviously, Alberta and Saskatchewan there,

00:06:35.160 78%, 79% disapprove of Trudeau.

00:06:39.120 Sounds about right to me.

00:06:40.520 But look at his home province, Quebec,

00:06:42.380 that's second from the right there.

00:06:43.340 2 to 1, they dislike him.

00:06:46.820 60% are against him,

00:06:48.440 30% for him.

00:06:49.620 That's incredible.

00:06:51.480 Even Ontario

00:06:52.640 dislikes him by a margin of 10%.

00:06:56.040 And look at the next graph.

00:06:57.920 It,

00:06:58.400 put the next one up there,

00:06:59.680 yeah, this one here.

00:07:00.520 It shows support for Trudeau

00:07:02.480 by age groups.

00:07:03.820 Hold this on the screen for a second.

00:07:05.740 That pink line at the bottom,

00:07:08.260 that's the 55 plus,

00:07:09.860 as in people have been around a bit,

00:07:11.200 have a home,

00:07:12.700 the kids are grown up now,

00:07:14.420 but they've lived a bit,

00:07:15.500 seen a few things.

00:07:16.560 They like Trudeau the least,

00:07:17.940 of course.

00:07:18.840 Only 31% support him.

00:07:20.180 I should point out that

00:07:20.980 Quebecers detest Trudeau

00:07:22.640 even more passionately

00:07:23.700 than this age demographic.

00:07:25.240 They hate him out there.

00:07:26.340 But then,

00:07:26.740 look at that.

00:07:27.760 The middle line there

00:07:29.400 are the 35 to 54 year olds.

00:07:32.340 Those are people

00:07:32.820 trying to make ends meet,

00:07:33.740 trying to raise a family,

00:07:34.620 trying to afford buying a home.

00:07:36.020 Only 34% of them

00:07:37.840 like Trudeau

00:07:38.800 because they're in real life.

00:07:39.900 But even look at that top line,

00:07:42.700 that's the gray line.

00:07:44.320 Those are the 18 to 34.

00:07:46.100 That's Trudeau's base,

00:07:47.100 really,

00:07:47.340 other than the media.

00:07:49.040 Millennials in there.

00:07:50.100 For the first time,

00:07:52.460 Angus Reid shows

00:07:53.580 that Trudeau's

00:07:54.340 underwater with them.

00:07:55.420 Only 42% of support him.

00:07:57.380 That's down 14% in a year.

00:08:00.600 Now,

00:08:01.180 it is inevitable,

00:08:02.400 over time,

00:08:03.560 any politician's support

00:08:05.320 can wane

00:08:06.460 as that politician

00:08:08.100 uses up capital

00:08:09.100 to get things done.

00:08:10.640 I mean,

00:08:10.800 they're spending

00:08:11.620 their reputation

00:08:12.520 to do stuff.

00:08:14.780 But what has Trudeau got done?

00:08:18.040 I can name one thing.

00:08:19.040 He legalized marijuana,

00:08:21.740 though with a lot of screw-ups.

00:08:23.380 But can you actually name

00:08:24.780 anything else

00:08:25.400 he's accomplished?

00:08:26.160 Exactly what achievements

00:08:27.440 can he point to?

00:08:29.400 Our economic growth in Canada

00:08:30.760 is half that of the United States.

00:08:32.660 Tens of billions of dollars

00:08:33.740 in investment

00:08:34.300 is leaving every year.

00:08:35.620 We've wrecked

00:08:36.500 our diplomatic relations.

00:08:38.380 If you care about foreign affairs,

00:08:40.080 we've wrecked our relations

00:08:41.260 with everyone from India

00:08:42.260 to China

00:08:43.560 to the United States

00:08:44.540 to Saudi Arabia

00:08:45.380 to Cuba

00:08:45.960 to Australia.

00:08:46.920 And not that I care

00:08:47.720 about some of those countries.

00:08:49.480 I'm hostile to China

00:08:51.460 and Cuba

00:08:52.320 as dictatorships.

00:08:53.240 But Trudeau

00:08:53.880 promised he was so savvy

00:08:56.160 and so cool,

00:08:57.760 unlike that cowboy Harper.

00:08:59.160 But the world

00:09:00.060 just sees Trudeau

00:09:01.480 as a narcissistic buffoon

00:09:03.960 who dresses up

00:09:05.120 in ethnic costumes

00:09:06.180 and does some fancy dancing

00:09:07.920 and maybe shows you

00:09:09.160 his socks

00:09:09.740 if you're lucky.

00:09:10.460 Seriously,

00:09:10.840 he does that.

00:09:11.680 Look at this picture here.

00:09:12.600 That's Angela Merkel.

00:09:13.620 That's Trudeau

00:09:14.360 showing off

00:09:16.120 his novelty socks.

00:09:19.300 Most national leaders

00:09:20.060 talk about

00:09:20.460 their national interests

00:09:21.220 when they meet

00:09:21.600 other national leaders.

00:09:22.740 Trudeau doesn't really

00:09:23.360 know anything

00:09:23.820 about that stuff.

00:09:24.540 So he auditions

00:09:25.560 for the role

00:09:26.000 of Goofy Kid Brother.

00:09:27.320 I need you,

00:09:28.100 Goofy Kid Brother.

00:09:28.680 I got some socks.

00:09:30.160 But people aren't

00:09:30.760 buying it anymore.

00:09:31.380 We're not even millennials.

00:09:32.300 It's really just,

00:09:33.760 it's just the CBC now.

00:09:36.580 Last book you've read

00:09:37.800 or the book you're reading?

00:09:40.500 The,

00:09:42.180 just finished

00:09:43.440 The Patch,

00:09:46.280 which was Chris Turner's

00:09:47.700 history of the oil patch.

00:09:51.200 But I'm also about to start

00:09:53.860 the new Ken Follett,

00:09:55.820 the third book

00:09:57.800 that is the sequel to

00:10:00.280 Pillars of the Earth.

00:10:01.960 That's your nerdy side.

00:10:03.100 No, that's,

00:10:04.100 that's my,

00:10:05.760 sci-fi nerdy side.

00:10:06.920 No, no,

00:10:07.240 it's not sci-fi.

00:10:08.260 It's just a sweeping

00:10:09.980 historical epic,

00:10:11.000 I'm sure,

00:10:11.400 but I haven't started it yet.

00:10:12.420 What kind of music

00:10:14.120 are you listening to?

00:10:14.800 What kind of music

00:10:15.200 are you listening to?

00:10:16.520 Or podcasts?

00:10:17.960 No, I don't,

00:10:19.120 I've tried,

00:10:19.840 I run regularly

00:10:20.980 and I've tried to,

00:10:22.060 tried to do the podcast thing,

00:10:24.340 but it hasn't really,

00:10:25.460 it doesn't really,

00:10:26.100 I don't like people

00:10:26.880 talking in my ears

00:10:27.720 when I'm trying to run.

00:10:28.500 And I like to,

00:10:29.080 I like to sort of vibe out.

00:10:32.040 Just a reminder,

00:10:33.040 that's not a Canadian version

00:10:34.900 of The Bachelorette

00:10:35.860 or some reality dating show.

00:10:39.060 That was Rosemary Barton

00:10:40.980 of CBC's The National

00:10:42.760 with her year-end interview

00:10:44.740 of Trudeau.

00:10:46.040 Do you think

00:10:46.980 that kind of fake news

00:10:49.120 makes Canadians happier

00:10:51.660 or angrier

00:10:52.940 with the whole establishment?

00:10:54.840 That's the thing.

00:10:55.400 I think there was a romance

00:10:57.340 about Justin Trudeau.

00:10:59.320 The media felt it the hardest,

00:11:01.100 but the public shared it

00:11:02.260 to a degree.

00:11:02.780 I wouldn't say Trudeau mania.

00:11:05.080 But after 10 years

00:11:05.840 of Stephen Harper,

00:11:07.020 along came a younger guy,

00:11:08.980 a little bit of an echo

00:11:09.760 of his father,

00:11:11.080 young team,

00:11:12.220 polished,

00:11:12.860 media savvy.

00:11:13.700 I think Trudeau lacks

00:11:14.620 the charisma

00:11:15.180 of his late father.

00:11:16.580 And remember,

00:11:17.060 Trudeau only got 39%

00:11:18.860 of the vote

00:11:19.400 in the last election.

00:11:20.740 That's hardly Trudeau mania.

00:11:23.060 But the media cemented it

00:11:24.720 as a love affair.

00:11:25.640 And it was true

00:11:26.280 in some quarters.

00:11:27.580 Rosemary Barton

00:11:28.320 is just, you know,

00:11:29.400 every night,

00:11:30.060 she just goes to sleep

00:11:31.600 with a little prayer.

00:11:32.560 But here we are,

00:11:33.540 three years later,

00:11:35.320 and I think a lot of people

00:11:36.440 who were swept up

00:11:37.500 have fallen out of love

00:11:39.780 with Trudeau.

00:11:40.980 And when you fall out of love,

00:11:43.380 you start to notice

00:11:44.300 the things that you put up with

00:11:45.680 that you can't stand anymore.

00:11:48.540 Like the feminism stuff.

00:11:51.420 After the revelations

00:11:52.420 that Trudeau sexually assaulted

00:11:53.760 a reporter named Rose Knight

00:11:55.520 in the town of Creston, B.C.

00:11:57.140 at this beer party.

00:11:59.020 That's how the New York Times

00:12:00.140 reported it,

00:12:00.780 sexual assault.

00:12:03.020 But Rosemary Barton

00:12:04.180 was too busy asking Trudeau,

00:12:06.120 what are you listening to these days?

00:12:07.720 What books are you reading?

00:12:08.740 Well, now that we know

00:12:10.140 that Justin Trudeau

00:12:11.000 gets handsy with women,

00:12:13.740 his feminism sounds a bit

00:12:15.120 like Bill Clinton's feminism

00:12:16.220 or Harvey Weinstein's feminism

00:12:18.240 or Gian Gomeschi's feminism.

00:12:20.540 It sort of looks gross now

00:12:22.100 that we know it's really

00:12:23.260 just a preemptive attack

00:12:24.420 to give him space

00:12:25.580 for when his sexual misconduct

00:12:26.940 is revealed.

00:12:28.860 I mean, his socks business.

00:12:30.560 It was funny, right?

00:12:32.320 It was funny at first.

00:12:33.760 It was a novelty.

00:12:35.180 Here's a huge story on it.

00:12:37.600 I mean, CBC, Globe and Mail,

00:12:39.580 McLean's,

00:12:40.060 they did huge stories

00:12:42.220 on the socks.

00:12:44.320 And it was funny

00:12:45.480 the first time.

00:12:46.420 It was.

00:12:47.200 But now it just looks

00:12:48.800 like a hollow man.

00:12:51.120 I mean, it's like

00:12:51.600 show and tell in school.

00:12:53.060 You bring your funny socks once.

00:12:54.720 Hey, everybody,

00:12:55.260 I got funny socks.

00:12:56.480 I mean, look at these funny socks.

00:12:58.420 Okay, so once you've done

00:12:59.740 that trick,

00:13:01.820 okay, you've done it now.

00:13:02.820 They're not a novelty anymore.

00:13:04.560 Novelty comes from the word

00:13:05.820 for novel,

00:13:07.080 comes from the word for new.

00:13:09.780 So once you've done

00:13:10.540 the socks trick,

00:13:11.440 it's not novel anymore.

00:13:12.400 You need a new trick.

00:13:13.540 You can't keep going

00:13:14.740 to international meetings

00:13:15.700 and showing your socks.

00:13:17.180 Or you become

00:13:17.820 just the socks guy now.

00:13:20.700 We have the socks guy

00:13:22.540 as our PM

00:13:23.660 and we've all sort of noticed.

00:13:25.240 And my point is,

00:13:26.100 if you loved him at first

00:13:27.780 for the socks

00:13:28.900 and the fancy dancing

00:13:30.140 and you thought

00:13:31.340 that was like a cool

00:13:32.220 accoutrement to a PM

00:13:33.540 and now you realize

00:13:35.140 it wasn't just a bonus

00:13:36.520 or a fun quirk.

00:13:38.300 Like Stephen Harper,

00:13:39.780 when once a year

00:13:40.580 he'd play piano

00:13:41.900 and sing with his band,

00:13:43.340 when you realize

00:13:45.060 that the dancing

00:13:46.060 and the socks

00:13:46.660 is all there is.

00:13:48.340 There's nothing else.

00:13:49.200 There's nothing under it.

00:13:50.080 Then you feel betrayed a bit

00:13:51.560 and like a fool.

00:13:52.840 It would be like

00:13:53.340 if Harper played

00:13:54.420 that bloody piano

00:13:55.140 every week

00:13:56.080 at every international event

00:13:57.600 instead of once a year

00:13:58.400 at a party.

00:13:59.780 So Trudeau is running

00:14:00.760 out of things.

00:14:02.560 I mean, socks, dancing,

00:14:03.580 okay, we got it already,

00:14:04.420 but those don't solve

00:14:05.240 Alberta's crisis

00:14:06.180 or the closing GM plant

00:14:07.380 or the looming carbon tax

00:14:08.800 or the open borders.

00:14:10.380 So what does he have left?

00:14:11.360 Well, his year-end interview

00:14:14.320 with the stenographers

00:14:15.280 of the Canadian press

00:14:16.220 was slightly less romantic

00:14:18.860 than his year-ender

00:14:20.260 with Rosemary Barton,

00:14:21.760 but it gives us a hint.

00:14:23.900 Trudeau's going to smear

00:14:24.780 and name-call everyone

00:14:26.160 who's against him.

00:14:28.480 He's going to call them

00:14:29.160 all bigots.

00:14:30.740 And the media is absolutely

00:14:32.720 going to go along with it.

00:14:34.580 Let me read this a bit.

00:14:35.440 This is an interview

00:14:36.740 that Trudeau did

00:14:37.460 with Joan Bryden

00:14:38.560 of the Canadian press,

00:14:39.720 who really is a liberal activist

00:14:41.640 in everything but name.

00:14:43.100 She's embedded

00:14:44.040 at the Canadian press.

00:14:45.700 If liberals are in trouble,

00:14:47.360 she's their go-to girl.

00:14:49.660 So here's her best effort

00:14:51.220 on Trudeau's behalf

00:14:52.500 as published

00:14:53.480 on the CTV website.

00:14:54.560 That's what's so pernicious

00:14:55.440 about Canadian press

00:14:56.700 is it's run

00:14:57.360 in so many different media.

00:14:59.400 So let me read from this.

00:15:00.720 The headline, obviously,

00:15:02.240 Trudeau sees 2019 election

00:15:03.960 as choice between

00:15:05.100 positive liberals

00:15:06.200 to divisive Tories.

00:15:07.920 Well, there you have it right there.

00:15:09.260 That's Trudeau's plan

00:15:10.020 and it's the media's plan, too.

00:15:11.840 They're going along

00:15:12.320 with it even now.

00:15:13.440 Let me read some more.

00:15:15.480 Justin Trudeau says

00:15:16.460 he's confident

00:15:17.100 he'll win re-election

00:15:18.200 next fall

00:15:18.700 by sticking to a positive,

00:15:20.420 thoughtful approach

00:15:21.200 to difficult issues

00:15:22.060 in contrast to the conservatives,

00:15:23.820 whom he accuses

00:15:24.700 of resorting

00:15:25.140 to bumper sticker slogans

00:15:26.500 that prey on voters'

00:15:27.880 fears and prejudices.

00:15:29.920 Hey, guys,

00:15:30.660 I'm going to run

00:15:31.240 a positive,

00:15:32.220 upbeat campaign, people.

00:15:33.800 Unlike that bastard,

00:15:35.220 cheer and that idiot sing

00:15:37.420 and to hell

00:15:38.320 with those idiots

00:15:39.220 like Kenny and Ford.

00:15:40.640 I will not sing

00:15:41.720 to their low level

00:15:42.600 and call those bastards names.

00:15:44.560 I will not be disgusting

00:15:46.060 like them.

00:15:47.280 Oh, they're gross.

00:15:49.600 I will continue

00:15:50.940 to campaign

00:15:51.940 like an angel

00:15:52.960 and I won't say a hard word,

00:15:55.640 but it wouldn't melt

00:15:56.280 in my mouth.

00:15:59.300 That reminds me

00:16:00.180 of the old joke.

00:16:00.840 I've told you

00:16:03.260 a million times,

00:16:04.540 don't exaggerate.

00:16:08.140 But instead of calling out

00:16:09.340 the inherent lie

00:16:10.400 in this whole commentary,

00:16:12.920 Canadian Press

00:16:13.480 and CTV

00:16:14.200 and the rest of the media

00:16:15.460 love it

00:16:16.300 and they run with it

00:16:18.540 uncritically,

00:16:19.260 uncritically.

00:16:19.900 That's the point.

00:16:20.900 Trudeau said it,

00:16:21.820 so they stenography it.

00:16:23.300 They just report it

00:16:24.400 as it is.

00:16:25.500 But for God's sakes,

00:16:26.340 do you have to be

00:16:26.900 so passive and submissive

00:16:28.140 as to not even challenge it?

00:16:30.840 Let me read some more.

00:16:31.860 I think one of the big

00:16:32.540 distinctions that we see

00:16:33.700 around the world

00:16:34.300 right now is folks

00:16:35.700 who want to exacerbate,

00:16:37.580 amplify and exaggerate

00:16:38.880 those fears

00:16:39.440 for short-term political gain

00:16:40.800 versus those who are

00:16:42.080 trying to thoughtfully

00:16:43.440 allay those fears,

00:16:44.460 Trudeau said

00:16:44.960 in a year-end roundtable

00:16:46.360 with the Ottawa Bureau

00:16:47.560 of the Canadian Press.

00:16:50.260 This is from the guy

00:16:51.280 who says the planet

00:16:52.080 will be consumed

00:16:52.720 in fires and floods

00:16:53.700 if we don't bring in

00:16:54.760 his carbon tax.

00:16:55.900 But don't fear-monger,

00:16:57.100 people.

00:16:57.480 Don't do it.

00:16:58.460 Stop your fear-mongering

00:16:59.660 and pay the carbon tax

00:17:00.980 or we're going to be

00:17:02.100 consumed by fire.

00:17:03.720 Stop fear-mongering.

00:17:06.440 How can you report that

00:17:07.520 with a straight face?

00:17:08.520 How can anyone even

00:17:09.260 trust the media anymore?

00:17:10.280 Let me read some more.

00:17:13.160 Obviously, it's easier

00:17:14.060 to spook someone

00:17:15.040 than it is to explain

00:17:15.920 a complex answer.

00:17:17.640 I go to Trudeau

00:17:18.680 for the hard stuff, right?

00:17:20.760 But I fundamentally believe

00:17:22.060 in trusting citizens' capacity

00:17:23.580 to be thoughtful

00:17:24.240 about where we're going

00:17:25.300 and that is what I am going

00:17:26.280 to be putting forward

00:17:27.280 as a vision for our politics,

00:17:29.220 for our country,

00:17:29.780 and by extension,

00:17:30.620 I think for the whole world.

00:17:33.020 Really?

00:17:34.000 He believes in trusting

00:17:35.060 grassroots citizens,

00:17:36.580 does he?

00:17:37.580 Then why,

00:17:37.980 just to pick one example,

00:17:39.340 didn't he even allow

00:17:40.260 a debate in Parliament

00:17:41.220 about the UN Global

00:17:42.060 Migration Compact?

00:17:43.180 Just for one example.

00:17:45.840 Why, for example,

00:17:46.700 did he require

00:17:47.220 every small business owner

00:17:48.880 in the country

00:17:49.360 to sign a moral attestation

00:17:52.140 that they personally agree

00:17:53.940 with Justin Trudeau's own views

00:17:55.460 on things like abortion

00:17:56.760 before they were allowed

00:17:57.640 to apply for a summer jobs grant?

00:17:59.160 You trusting voters?

00:17:59.940 You don't trust voters.

00:18:00.880 He doesn't believe

00:18:01.400 in the grassroots, anything.

00:18:02.900 He was born an elite

00:18:03.980 and he lives like an elite.

00:18:05.340 He jets to Billionaire's Island

00:18:07.120 in the Bahamas

00:18:07.760 and lies about it,

00:18:08.980 hides it.

00:18:10.520 He hired two nannies

00:18:12.080 on the taxpayer's dime.

00:18:14.000 What he can't afford

00:18:14.680 to hire his own nanny

00:18:15.940 like the rest of us do.

00:18:17.000 He breached the

00:18:17.680 Conflict of Interest Act,

00:18:18.960 the first prime minister

00:18:19.800 in history to be convicted

00:18:21.040 of breaking that law.

00:18:22.420 He hates the little people

00:18:24.520 and it shows.

00:18:27.320 Trudeau also took a run

00:18:28.300 at Francois Legault,

00:18:29.360 the Quebec premier

00:18:30.060 who just crushed

00:18:30.820 the Quebec Liberal Party.

00:18:32.940 In large part because Legault

00:18:34.220 pledged to reduce immigration

00:18:35.980 by 20% to ban the burqa

00:18:37.460 in the public service

00:18:39.020 as in to keep the separation

00:18:40.440 of church and state

00:18:41.240 and mosque and state.

00:18:42.660 Here's Trudeau on that.

00:18:43.760 He said,

00:18:45.360 while those ideas

00:18:45.960 might be popular

00:18:46.720 at first blush

00:18:47.540 in a populist speech,

00:18:49.940 Trudeau predicted

00:18:50.500 that Quebecers

00:18:51.140 will change their minds

00:18:52.100 once they actually

00:18:53.040 dig into the real world

00:18:54.200 consequences of allowing

00:18:55.600 and encouraging discrimination

00:18:56.960 based on someone's religion

00:18:58.320 within a free society.

00:18:59.660 He argued that Canadians

00:19:00.740 have become more aware

00:19:02.140 of the dangers of populism,

00:19:03.700 the consequences of populism.

00:19:06.860 Hang on,

00:19:07.520 so the guy who bans pro-lifers

00:19:08.980 from getting summer jobs grants

00:19:10.160 is now for religious freedom?

00:19:12.420 You just,

00:19:13.100 you just write that

00:19:14.020 because you're Joan Bryden

00:19:15.380 of the Canadian press

00:19:16.320 and you want to get

00:19:17.640 your bailout money too.

00:19:18.740 Got it.

00:19:19.100 The dangers of populism

00:19:21.780 is not on the minds

00:19:22.900 of Quebecers.

00:19:24.000 The dangers of illegal immigration,

00:19:26.460 the dangers of terrorism,

00:19:27.840 that is on the minds

00:19:28.900 of Quebecers.

00:19:30.780 So after going on

00:19:31.640 about how he's better

00:19:32.500 and nicer

00:19:33.240 and sweeter

00:19:33.980 than his opponents,

00:19:37.040 Trudeau basically says,

00:19:38.480 just kidding,

00:19:39.620 he says this,

00:19:41.100 I'm always going to be

00:19:42.180 very, very sharp

00:19:43.320 anytime there are

00:19:44.100 clear distinctions

00:19:44.720 in policy,

00:19:45.700 in approach,

00:19:46.280 in the way someone

00:19:47.080 indicates their tendency

00:19:48.220 to perhaps divide Canadians

00:19:49.860 or exploit fault lines

00:19:51.280 rather than pulling together.

00:19:52.500 I will make no apologies

00:19:53.460 for being very passionate,

00:19:55.100 sometimes overly enthusiastic,

00:19:57.140 in the way I engage

00:19:58.220 in a robust debate,

00:19:59.860 but I am as much as possible

00:20:01.400 going to keep it

00:20:02.020 on a substantive level.

00:20:03.660 Got it.

00:20:04.300 Got it.

00:20:06.300 Passionate.

00:20:06.900 That's what he calls it

00:20:08.380 when he attacks people.

00:20:09.860 Hey, no, no, no.

00:20:10.640 I didn't attack.

00:20:11.300 That was not an attack ad.

00:20:13.600 That was just on my passion.

00:20:15.080 When an opponent

00:20:17.340 does that,

00:20:18.640 it's dangerous.

00:20:20.160 It's lashing out.

00:20:22.600 When he disagrees,

00:20:26.500 it's not mean, though,

00:20:27.900 when it's Trudeau.

00:20:28.680 It's sharp.

00:20:29.880 When others disagree,

00:20:31.640 it's because of their bigotry.

00:20:34.220 Look, I know CTV

00:20:35.240 and Canadian Press

00:20:36.420 and CBC buy all this stuff.

00:20:39.020 I know they do.

00:20:40.720 They're part of the 8%

00:20:41.900 who still love Trudeau.

00:20:43.400 But 58% of the rest of us

00:20:46.660 no longer do.

00:20:47.520 And a campaign built

00:20:48.320 on smearing ordinary people

00:20:50.560 as bigots scolding us

00:20:52.440 and rewarding journalists

00:20:55.120 to spin,

00:20:56.220 I'm just not sure

00:20:57.240 that's going to turn

00:20:58.020 people's minds around.

00:21:00.000 Do you think it will?

00:21:02.100 Stay with us for more.

00:21:03.120 Welcome back.

00:21:20.160 Well, I've said it before

00:21:20.880 and I'll say it again.

00:21:21.800 I might even say it

00:21:22.620 at the year 2020.

00:21:24.020 If Donald Trump

00:21:25.080 builds the wall,

00:21:27.060 he'll be reelected

00:21:28.560 no matter what else he does.

00:21:30.500 But if he doesn't build the wall,

00:21:33.700 he won't be reelected

00:21:35.300 no matter what else he does.

00:21:36.920 That's been my thesis

00:21:38.380 for a couple of years now.

00:21:40.180 Joining me now

00:21:40.780 is an expert

00:21:41.720 in all things Trumpy.

00:21:43.100 In fact,

00:21:43.400 he's written the book

00:21:44.200 on the subject.

00:21:45.240 I'm talking about

00:21:45.720 a friend,

00:21:46.020 Joel Pollack,

00:21:46.860 senior editor-at-large

00:21:47.900 at Breitbart.com.

00:21:48.920 And we've caught you

00:21:49.580 in one of those

00:21:50.360 Los Angeles commutes.

00:21:51.880 Thank you for pulling over

00:21:52.860 and taking our call

00:21:53.680 via Skype, Joel.

00:21:54.620 Actually, I'm in the small town

00:21:57.680 of Weed, California,

00:21:59.320 population 3,000

00:22:00.900 on the other side

00:22:02.400 of the state from L.A.

00:22:03.820 I'm actually heading

00:22:05.300 to the Shasta Dam

00:22:06.980 in a moment

00:22:07.480 as part of my writing project

00:22:10.000 on California water.

00:22:12.280 So I'm far away from L.A.

00:22:15.120 and I got to hit the road again

00:22:16.140 in a few minutes,

00:22:16.840 but always good to talk to you

00:22:18.040 and your viewers.

00:22:18.960 Well, it's very nice

00:22:19.540 for you to pull over

00:22:20.060 and thank you for the correction.

00:22:21.620 I just assumed

00:22:22.540 if you're in your car,

00:22:23.380 you're stuck in L.A. traffic.

00:22:24.620 But that's very interesting.

00:22:25.820 I know water politics

00:22:26.680 are extremely heated

00:22:29.140 in that state.

00:22:30.720 In fact, they came up again

00:22:32.000 during the wildfire issues.

00:22:33.260 Hey, let's get back

00:22:33.820 to the subject of the wall.

00:22:35.640 I see that Donald Trump

00:22:37.300 has approved

00:22:38.900 a massive multi-billion dollar

00:22:41.920 foreign aid deal

00:22:43.580 with Mexico

00:22:45.220 and there's no wall.

00:22:47.540 And, Joel, I got to ask you,

00:22:48.500 I mean, unless

00:22:49.040 I'm misinterpreting things,

00:22:50.680 didn't Trump say

00:22:51.500 that there would be a wall

00:22:52.600 and Mexico would pay America

00:22:54.480 to build the wall.

00:22:55.740 It sounds like we got

00:22:56.780 the opposite of that.

00:22:58.280 Right.

00:22:58.580 We're paying Mexico

00:22:59.400 and there's no wall.

00:23:00.660 I think that Trump supporters

00:23:02.320 are justifiably angry about it.

00:23:04.140 I don't know if they blame Trump.

00:23:05.620 They blame Congress

00:23:06.580 because Congress

00:23:07.320 is the obstacle here.

00:23:08.880 But definitely,

00:23:10.020 it's an irony

00:23:11.840 that is not lost

00:23:12.820 on those who voted

00:23:13.560 for Trump in 2016.

00:23:14.600 I want to show a tweet

00:23:16.380 that Donald Trump made today

00:23:17.600 and he knows there's a problem.

00:23:19.660 Let me read it to you.

00:23:20.340 He said,

00:23:21.160 Mexico is paying

00:23:22.400 indirectly for the wall

00:23:24.400 through the new USMCA,

00:23:26.460 the replacement for NAFTA.

00:23:28.380 Far more money

00:23:29.060 coming to the U.S.

00:23:30.460 because of the tremendous

00:23:31.300 dangers of the border,

00:23:32.440 including large-scale

00:23:33.260 criminal and drug inflow.

00:23:34.860 The United States military

00:23:36.000 will build the wall.

00:23:38.100 Okay.

00:23:39.600 So he says that in a tweet.

00:23:41.700 Is that going to happen?

00:23:42.840 If the military builds that,

00:23:45.220 is that some statement, Joel,

00:23:46.700 that Donald Trump can do this

00:23:48.640 without working with Congress?

00:23:52.500 I don't think he can finish it

00:23:54.580 without Congress.

00:23:55.500 Even if he builds it

00:23:56.340 with the military,

00:23:57.120 he's going to need

00:23:57.820 congressional authority

00:23:58.820 to do various things

00:23:59.860 you need to do with the wall.

00:24:01.540 There are, for example,

00:24:02.940 some private property parcels

00:24:04.980 along the border.

00:24:05.860 There are some public properties.

00:24:07.920 I mean, there's all kinds of things

00:24:08.960 that have to happen.

00:24:10.260 Ideally, this would happen

00:24:11.100 with congressional approval.

00:24:12.840 But Congress,

00:24:14.480 although they voted

00:24:15.120 for border fencing

00:24:16.300 so many times

00:24:17.220 over the last several years

00:24:18.260 when Democrats were in control,

00:24:20.000 not interested right now.

00:24:21.140 They don't want to hand a win

00:24:21.940 to Donald Trump.

00:24:23.580 And it's going to be a tough fight.

00:24:25.860 I got to say,

00:24:26.420 it's not clear that

00:24:27.220 they're going to win this round.

00:24:29.180 Donald Trump may sign

00:24:30.260 a continuing resolution

00:24:31.200 to keep the government funded

00:24:32.340 for two more weeks

00:24:33.320 into next year.

00:24:34.520 But then if Democrats

00:24:35.540 are going to control the House,

00:24:36.900 they're going to be able

00:24:37.520 to set the terms of the debate.

00:24:39.340 So I think we're in

00:24:41.300 for a long fight here.

00:24:42.580 The one thing that Trump

00:24:43.420 could do with the military

00:24:44.280 is perhaps build

00:24:45.300 some of the foundation roads

00:24:47.600 near the wall.

00:24:49.520 Ideally, you'd have a wall

00:24:50.480 with a border patrol road

00:24:52.400 alongside it

00:24:53.540 the way they do in Israel.

00:24:55.260 So that possibly could be done.

00:24:58.300 I'm not sure that it could.

00:24:59.960 We definitely have the technology

00:25:00.960 to do it.

00:25:01.980 It would, again,

00:25:03.260 probably be challenged in court.

00:25:04.500 You'd have to do it lawfully.

00:25:06.040 Very, very difficult.

00:25:07.380 And I think Trump supporters

00:25:09.060 are angry.

00:25:09.880 They're frustrated

00:25:10.320 the president can't get

00:25:11.260 what he wants from Congress,

00:25:12.380 but Congress seems to be able

00:25:13.320 to pass just about everything else.

00:25:15.080 Well, and Trump seems

00:25:15.780 to go along with everything else.

00:25:17.340 I mean, listen,

00:25:18.160 I'm not an American.

00:25:19.040 This is not my thing,

00:25:20.260 but I am a supporter

00:25:22.920 of Trump from abroad.

00:25:24.960 And I can't help but notice

00:25:26.600 that two years have gone by.

00:25:28.400 It has been more than two years

00:25:29.600 since Trump was elected.

00:25:31.100 The wall was the clearest symbol

00:25:32.880 of his presidency.

00:25:33.700 So if Congress won't get it through,

00:25:36.840 whose fault is that?

00:25:38.220 And here we are

00:25:39.080 having frittered away two years

00:25:40.880 and the Democrats are about

00:25:42.140 to take back

00:25:42.680 the House of Representatives.

00:25:44.000 How can you not say

00:25:45.380 that's on Trump?

00:25:49.500 Well, because the Democrats

00:25:51.200 would have had to vote

00:25:52.740 at least in some small number

00:25:54.060 for the wall.

00:25:55.840 And they are completely

00:25:57.580 unified against Trump.

00:25:58.820 They have much more party unity

00:25:59.960 than the Republicans do.

00:26:01.440 Opposition tends to do that.

00:26:02.680 So they have been able

00:26:04.660 to pull together

00:26:05.360 and deny Trump

00:26:06.460 any vote for the wall,

00:26:08.080 even when he's given them

00:26:08.860 very generous terms,

00:26:10.000 such as legalizing

00:26:10.920 almost two million

00:26:11.800 illegal aliens

00:26:13.020 who were brought

00:26:14.540 to the country as minors.

00:26:16.220 That's a massive concession.

00:26:17.580 Democrats refuse to accept it.

00:26:19.740 And on the one occasion

00:26:20.900 where they have been able

00:26:21.700 to put a bill together

00:26:23.660 that might fund the wall,

00:26:24.640 there have been so many poison pills

00:26:25.880 in the legislation

00:26:26.560 that Trump couldn't sign it.

00:26:27.940 So Democrats have negotiated

00:26:29.600 very well

00:26:30.340 just to prevent the wall

00:26:32.160 from being built.

00:26:33.460 Whether that's good for the country

00:26:34.560 is another question,

00:26:36.040 but this is a time

00:26:38.040 and an era

00:26:38.580 where each party

00:26:39.820 is determined

00:26:40.380 to prevent the other party

00:26:42.100 from achieving

00:26:42.640 its core promises

00:26:43.620 to its voters.

00:26:45.140 And it's sad.

00:26:46.820 You'd think there'd be

00:26:47.380 some room for deal-making there.

00:26:48.660 Maybe there will be

00:26:49.260 in the new Congress.

00:26:50.000 You never know.

00:26:50.500 Donald Trump could do it.

00:26:51.760 But if he can't,

00:26:52.800 I don't think anyone can.

00:26:53.860 And so I think

00:26:55.540 a lot of Trump voters

00:26:56.280 are starting to look

00:26:57.100 at this issue

00:26:57.920 with a sense of worry.

00:27:00.480 I mean, people are very worried

00:27:01.440 about whether we're ever

00:27:02.380 going to have a secure border

00:27:03.420 because Democrats

00:27:04.160 seem hell-bent on preventing it.

00:27:05.620 In fact,

00:27:05.880 some Democrat members of Congress

00:27:07.060 went down to the border

00:27:08.020 to escort members of the caravan

00:27:10.400 through the port of entry.

00:27:12.740 That's the sort of

00:27:13.800 concierge service

00:27:14.640 that I don't think

00:27:16.020 many American citizens

00:27:17.600 get from their

00:27:18.580 congressional representatives.

00:27:20.180 So it's looking pretty grim,

00:27:22.420 but we'll see what happens.

00:27:23.860 There are always surprises

00:27:25.040 in politics.

00:27:26.200 Here in Canada,

00:27:27.520 Justin Trudeau deputizes

00:27:28.840 our Mounties,

00:27:29.880 our RCMP,

00:27:31.020 to carry the luggage

00:27:32.500 of illegals

00:27:34.880 walking up from New York State.

00:27:36.920 I don't know if you know that,

00:27:38.080 Joel,

00:27:38.640 but the idea of self-deportation

00:27:40.980 from America

00:27:41.600 does happen.

00:27:43.560 It's the worst of the worst

00:27:44.860 people Trump would throw out.

00:27:46.760 They know there's

00:27:47.500 a bigger sucker up here.

00:27:49.000 But even Trudeau

00:27:49.940 does not personally

00:27:50.700 escort them across the border.

00:27:51.880 He leaves that

00:27:52.500 to the Mounties

00:27:53.680 to do.

00:27:54.120 It's incredible

00:27:54.640 that Democrats

00:27:55.200 are doing that.

00:27:56.100 Let me ask you,

00:27:56.840 though,

00:27:57.620 if Democrats

00:27:58.940 are doing that,

00:27:59.660 and obviously

00:28:00.020 they're doing that

00:28:00.560 for show,

00:28:01.960 wouldn't a TV ad

00:28:03.220 showing Democrats

00:28:04.360 literally helping people

00:28:05.760 across the border,

00:28:08.440 wouldn't that be

00:28:09.480 death to the Democrats,

00:28:10.640 or has America's

00:28:11.880 demographics

00:28:12.380 and political center

00:28:14.300 move so much

00:28:15.340 that that's

00:28:15.860 as much of a win

00:28:17.640 as a loss?

00:28:18.440 Well,

00:28:20.020 I'll answer you this way

00:28:20.880 and then I've got

00:28:21.540 to hit the road again.

00:28:22.900 I don't think

00:28:23.700 the public cares

00:28:24.520 as much about this issue

00:28:25.540 in general

00:28:26.000 as Republicans do.

00:28:27.120 This has become

00:28:27.580 a very important issue

00:28:28.420 for Republicans.

00:28:29.380 It's become partisan.

00:28:31.280 Most people don't live

00:28:32.120 near the border.

00:28:32.820 They don't think about it.

00:28:33.960 Even if they have

00:28:34.540 illegal immigration

00:28:35.240 coming into their communities,

00:28:36.540 they have crime,

00:28:37.100 they have gangs,

00:28:38.000 they tend not to think

00:28:38.700 about it as related

00:28:39.380 to border security.

00:28:40.760 They have other things

00:28:41.500 on their mind.

00:28:42.080 The number one issue

00:28:42.820 for most Americans

00:28:43.840 right now

00:28:44.320 is health care.

00:28:45.080 Their health care

00:28:45.620 is too expensive.

00:28:46.920 It's not good enough.

00:28:48.060 The coverage under Obamacare

00:28:49.080 is terrible.

00:28:49.720 The deductibles are terrible.

00:28:51.060 They want a solution to that.

00:28:52.900 For Republicans,

00:28:53.540 the number one issue

00:28:54.080 is immigration.

00:28:54.880 But again,

00:28:55.340 they're talking about

00:28:56.060 an issue that's not

00:28:56.920 of the same interest

00:28:57.740 to the country as a whole.

00:28:58.600 So if you showed

00:28:59.200 Democrats helping

00:29:00.340 illegal aliens

00:29:01.000 across the border,

00:29:02.140 people might raise

00:29:02.720 their eyebrows,

00:29:03.360 but it's not fundamentally

00:29:04.700 what they're deciding,

00:29:06.300 what's deciding

00:29:06.920 their votes right now.

00:29:08.180 And Trump tried

00:29:09.680 to solve that as well

00:29:10.540 and Republicans

00:29:11.280 couldn't come through.

00:29:12.400 So we'll see

00:29:13.680 what this Congress brings.

00:29:14.600 I don't expect much,

00:29:15.940 but you never know.

00:29:16.900 Yeah.

00:29:17.120 Well, Joel,

00:29:17.800 I know you've got to go.

00:29:19.220 Thank you for pulling

00:29:19.920 over the side of the road

00:29:20.960 and talking with us.

00:29:22.560 It's safer than chatting

00:29:23.680 while you were driving,

00:29:24.660 I'm sure.

00:29:25.480 We look forward

00:29:26.240 to reading your reports

00:29:27.680 on the water issue

00:29:28.880 from California.

00:29:29.580 We'll let you hit

00:29:30.080 the road again.

00:29:31.420 Thank you so much.

00:29:32.160 All right.

00:29:32.340 Thanks, Joel.

00:29:33.540 Take care.

00:29:33.960 Let me show you,

00:29:34.820 viewers,

00:29:35.160 one more tweet

00:29:35.980 before we go

00:29:36.960 in this segment.

00:29:37.880 It was written

00:29:38.580 by Donald Trump

00:29:39.480 when the migrant caravan

00:29:41.600 was making its way up

00:29:42.840 from Salvador and Honduras

00:29:44.520 up through Mexico.

00:29:45.900 So look at this.

00:29:46.560 This was dated

00:29:47.100 just a couple months ago.

00:29:49.080 This is Trump saying,

00:29:49.860 Guatemala, Honduras,

00:29:50.980 and El Salvador

00:29:51.620 were not able

00:29:52.880 to do the job

00:29:53.540 of stopping people

00:29:54.260 from leaving their country

00:29:55.200 and coming illegally

00:29:56.300 to the U.S.

00:29:57.080 We will now begin

00:29:58.080 cutting off

00:29:58.740 or substantially reducing

00:29:59.940 the massive foreign aid

00:30:01.840 routinely given to them.

00:30:04.820 Yeah,

00:30:05.160 I don't think that's happened.

00:30:06.480 I don't think that's happened.

00:30:07.560 I saw that Ann Coulter,

00:30:10.060 a tremendous Trump booster,

00:30:12.420 said that he's lost her vote

00:30:14.280 if he doesn't build the wall.

00:30:16.380 I think there's a lot of people

00:30:17.300 who will say that.

00:30:18.700 And at the very least,

00:30:19.940 the energy and motivation

00:30:22.080 of Trump's base will,

00:30:24.580 as Joel suggested,

00:30:26.440 this is very much

00:30:27.780 a Republican issue

00:30:28.880 and I think it will

00:30:30.060 demoralize the base.

00:30:32.400 Well, stay with us.

00:30:33.940 There's more ahead

00:30:34.680 on The Red.

00:30:37.560 Hey, welcome back

00:30:47.420 on my monologue yesterday

00:30:48.480 about a six-year prison sentence

00:30:50.320 for being an alleged Nazi

00:30:52.300 in the U.K.

00:30:53.720 Ron writes,

00:30:55.300 six years for a Nazi symbol

00:30:56.540 on a cushion.

00:30:57.820 A U.K. judge also gave

00:30:58.800 a couple a year

00:31:00.260 for putting bacon strips

00:31:01.840 on a mosque door handle.

00:31:03.720 No violence and no damage.

00:31:05.940 Yeah, I mean, listen,

00:31:06.740 we've covered

00:31:07.460 U.K. sentencing

00:31:09.340 bizarro rules

00:31:11.140 plenty in the last year,

00:31:13.100 including with a friend

00:31:14.000 Tommy Robinson

00:31:14.680 who was sentenced

00:31:16.840 to 13 months

00:31:18.540 in prison

00:31:19.540 for reporting

00:31:20.880 facts that were

00:31:22.360 on the BBC website.

00:31:24.800 He was in solitary confinement

00:31:25.900 for most of that, of course.

00:31:27.840 Yes, something's weird over there.

00:31:29.220 That country's broken.

00:31:31.180 Paul writes,

00:31:31.700 it's interesting

00:31:33.820 how well Nazism

00:31:34.720 and Islam

00:31:35.120 go together.

00:31:36.260 Passages from

00:31:36.840 Mein Kampf

00:31:37.400 look as though

00:31:37.840 they could have been

00:31:38.340 plagiarized

00:31:38.980 from the Koran

00:31:39.880 and Hadith.

00:31:42.480 Well, I showed you

00:31:43.300 images yesterday

00:31:43.960 of the Grand Mufti

00:31:45.120 of Jerusalem,

00:31:45.860 that's the Muslim leader

00:31:47.160 in Palestine,

00:31:48.640 who was chummy

00:31:49.380 with Hitler.

00:31:49.980 And I showed you,

00:31:50.920 I had actually not seen

00:31:51.820 some of those images before,

00:31:53.080 of entire Muslim divisions

00:31:55.180 in the Wehrmacht

00:31:56.620 and SS troops.

00:32:01.220 Special pro-Muslim

00:32:03.140 propaganda books

00:32:04.560 written by the Nazis.

00:32:07.340 There was something

00:32:08.760 called the

00:32:09.140 Palestinian Brigade,

00:32:11.160 but that's what the Jews

00:32:12.540 who fought with the Brits

00:32:13.760 called themselves.

00:32:14.760 So yeah,

00:32:15.600 I think that Nazism

00:32:17.460 in its German form

00:32:18.960 was pretty much vanquished,

00:32:20.480 but in its Islamic form

00:32:22.420 remains alive.

00:32:23.440 Ruth writes,

00:32:26.380 maybe it wasn't

00:32:27.260 just the cushions.

00:32:29.120 And she sent me

00:32:30.500 a link to this story.

00:32:32.500 And look at the headline there.

00:32:34.560 UK neo-Nazi

00:32:35.860 who studied in yeshiva

00:32:37.700 sentenced to prison.

00:32:39.820 Adam Thomas,

00:32:40.660 who once studied

00:32:41.360 in Jerusalem yeshiva,

00:32:42.600 but later named

00:32:43.260 son after Adolf Hitler,

00:32:45.220 sentenced to six years

00:32:46.100 in prison.

00:32:46.900 And this is about that,

00:32:48.300 you can see Mrs. Potato

00:32:49.420 there in the middle there.

00:32:52.640 Let me just read

00:32:53.400 the first sentence here.

00:32:54.380 A neo-Nazi

00:32:55.120 who once studied

00:32:56.180 in Jerusalem yeshiva,

00:32:57.220 that's a religious school,

00:32:58.420 and tried to convert

00:32:59.560 to Judaism

00:33:00.440 has been sentenced

00:33:01.920 to six and a half years

00:33:02.960 in prison

00:33:03.580 for membership

00:33:04.400 in a terrorist group.

00:33:05.720 Okay, you can take

00:33:06.500 that story now.

00:33:08.160 I thought that story

00:33:09.100 was so crazy yesterday.

00:33:10.780 And then I saw this story,

00:33:13.520 that one of these Nazis

00:33:14.520 lived in Israel,

00:33:16.980 in Jerusalem,

00:33:18.460 went to a Jewish school

00:33:19.800 called a yeshiva,

00:33:20.520 that's like a theological seminary.

00:33:22.540 He was thrown out

00:33:23.340 because they said

00:33:23.840 he was a little bit crazy.

00:33:27.500 That's the weird

00:33:28.140 story of the year,

00:33:28.760 would you agree with me?

00:33:29.940 Someone who wanted

00:33:31.080 to convert to Judaism,

00:33:32.160 went to school

00:33:32.800 in Jerusalem

00:33:34.180 to become a Jew,

00:33:36.180 later goes back

00:33:37.140 to Banbury

00:33:37.820 in the UK,

00:33:39.520 does a whole bunch

00:33:41.540 of swastika pillows,

00:33:42.840 and winds up in prison

00:33:43.680 for six years.

00:33:44.900 That's a crazy story.

00:33:45.700 On my interview

00:33:48.060 with Lauren Gunter,

00:33:48.700 Peter writes,

00:33:49.980 Alberta has been used,

00:33:51.220 stolen from,

00:33:51.780 and dumped upon

00:33:52.380 by Eastern Canada

00:33:53.220 and BC to some extent

00:33:54.640 for a long time,

00:33:56.600 while at the same time

00:33:57.500 providing many

00:33:58.160 tens of thousands

00:33:59.600 of high-paying jobs

00:34:01.360 to all Canadians

00:34:02.140 in and out of Alberta

00:34:04.740 and $20 billion per year

00:34:06.200 in equalization.

00:34:07.800 At some point,

00:34:08.440 Alberta will reach

00:34:09.180 a breaking point.

00:34:11.540 Well, I saw

00:34:12.560 our friend Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:34:13.620 was at a massive protest

00:34:16.440 in Nisku,

00:34:17.440 which is basically

00:34:18.120 the Leduc area,

00:34:19.980 south of Edmonton,

00:34:22.000 sort of near the airport there,

00:34:23.480 a 22-kilometer-long

00:34:25.600 truck convoy.

00:34:26.980 I've never heard

00:34:27.500 of such a thing

00:34:28.000 in my life.

00:34:29.280 Never heard

00:34:29.840 of such a thing.

00:34:32.460 Thousands and thousands

00:34:33.800 of people.

00:34:36.300 And as Sheila tweeted,

00:34:38.760 that's her people,

00:34:39.640 that's her community,

00:34:40.440 her tribe.

00:34:41.320 It's true.

00:34:44.300 But what do they think

00:34:45.020 is going to happen?

00:34:45.600 And I'm not criticizing them

00:34:46.620 at all.

00:34:47.180 I think it's great

00:34:48.100 that they're speaking out,

00:34:49.540 but what's Trudeau

00:34:50.720 going to do with that?

00:34:52.100 He'll probably order

00:34:52.860 a gender impact analysis

00:34:54.320 of all these working men

00:34:55.880 in a town or something.

00:34:57.340 Remember,

00:34:57.800 that's what he said

00:34:58.340 when he was in Argentina

00:34:59.120 a few weeks ago.

00:35:01.000 It sort of breaks my heart

00:35:02.000 because I know

00:35:02.580 they will be ignored.

00:35:03.940 In fact,

00:35:04.380 they will be demonized

00:35:05.440 and Trudeau will find

00:35:06.520 some way to sort of

00:35:07.160 weaponize them.

00:35:08.560 And so you see,

00:35:09.300 look at these bigots

00:35:10.740 or something like that.

00:35:12.320 It's very sad

00:35:13.400 and I wish I could say

00:35:15.740 something different,

00:35:17.680 but I can't.

00:35:18.500 I believe that many

00:35:20.140 of those trucks,

00:35:21.020 like those are extremely

00:35:22.240 expensive trucks

00:35:23.880 and useful

00:35:25.280 and in-demand trucks

00:35:26.760 in North Dakota,

00:35:28.080 in Texas,

00:35:29.100 in Pennsylvania even.

00:35:30.840 I don't think

00:35:31.720 a lot of those guys

00:35:32.620 will stick around

00:35:34.140 in Alberta anymore.

00:35:35.860 It's not their way

00:35:36.520 to be unemployed.

00:35:37.200 I think they'll make their,

00:35:38.340 I don't know if they can

00:35:39.100 get to the States,

00:35:39.840 but it's just so heartbreaking

00:35:41.220 that you've got hundreds

00:35:43.400 of trucks that are free

00:35:44.840 on a weekday

00:35:46.280 that aren't needed

00:35:47.300 to drill for oil.

00:35:49.000 What's so gross

00:35:49.880 about the announcement

00:35:50.780 this week

00:35:51.300 by Amarjeet Sohi,

00:35:52.840 Trudeau's spokesman

00:35:53.780 in Alberta,

00:35:54.660 is that the bailout

00:35:56.240 was,

00:35:57.120 okay guys,

00:35:57.640 here's some loans

00:35:58.800 for commercial projects

00:35:59.880 and we'll give you advice

00:36:01.320 on how to expand markets.

00:36:03.180 What?

00:36:04.020 None of that applies here.

00:36:05.480 There's no need

00:36:06.020 to expand markets.

00:36:07.200 We know the markets.

00:36:08.160 The United States

00:36:09.160 and the world.

00:36:10.520 Oil doesn't need marketing.

00:36:11.720 Oil sells itself

00:36:12.540 100 million barrels a day.

00:36:14.260 You don't need to market oil.

00:36:15.440 You just need to have it.

00:36:17.440 But you have to be able

00:36:18.340 to bring it to market

00:36:19.120 and they don't need loans.

00:36:22.180 There's no shortage

00:36:22.940 of investment

00:36:23.880 in the oil and gas industry.

00:36:26.800 Enbridge was willing

00:36:27.500 to put in,

00:36:28.520 I don't know,

00:36:28.880 what was it in the end?

00:36:29.620 10 billion to build

00:36:30.420 the Northern Gatewide.

00:36:32.280 TransCanada was going

00:36:33.200 to put in 16 billion

00:36:34.700 to build Energy East.

00:36:35.900 Those guys aren't short

00:36:36.600 of money.

00:36:36.920 They don't need a loan.

00:36:37.620 They don't need

00:36:38.320 a few hundred million dollars

00:36:39.400 in loans.

00:36:40.020 They got all the dough

00:36:40.820 they need.

00:36:41.720 No one is going to take

00:36:42.980 and use that money

00:36:43.960 until a pipeline is built.

00:36:46.260 It's the pipeline

00:36:47.180 that's the problem.

00:36:47.840 It's not the money.

00:36:48.960 It's not,

00:36:49.220 they don't need

00:36:49.620 Amarjeet Sohi's advice

00:36:51.220 on expanding markets.

00:36:53.260 They know the markets exist.

00:36:54.900 They just need to get

00:36:55.460 that oil out of the country.

00:36:57.980 I am so sad

00:36:59.140 that those protesting workers,

00:37:01.360 probably the first protest

00:37:02.460 of their life

00:37:03.060 will absolutely be ignored.

00:37:07.220 And what can you do?

00:37:08.280 Well,

00:37:08.920 there's some answers

00:37:09.940 to that question

00:37:10.720 that aren't as pleasant

00:37:11.580 as they should be.

00:37:14.400 Folks,

00:37:14.820 that's it for today.

00:37:16.120 On behalf of all of us

00:37:17.160 here at the Rebel World

00:37:17.760 Headquarters,

00:37:18.360 you at home,

00:37:18.880 good night.

00:37:19.860 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:37:20.800 We'll see you next time.
