Hello, my Rebels. There's a new poll out by Angus Reid. I like Angus Reid's polls.
00:00:05.060
I think he's pretty fair. I think he's pretty accurate. And sometimes he asks questions that
00:00:09.180
you don't see in other public polls. I'll take you through it, and I'll prove to you that Justin
00:00:13.540
Trudeau is the most despised man in Canadian politics. I don't want to give it away, but,
00:00:19.700
you know, he's 20 points less popular than Donald Trump. Let me put that out there.

00:01:10.300
Tonight, a new poll from Angus Reid shows that Justin Trudeau is the most hated man
00:01:15.160
in Canada. It's September 24th, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:20.120
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:25.220
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:29.280
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's
00:01:40.300
I like Angus Reid as a pollster. I think their company being based outside the Toronto,
00:01:45.640
Montreal, Ottawa political echo chamber helps. I think they also like to ask questions that other
00:01:50.940
pollsters shy away from, or at least shy away from making public, like their polls on immigration.
00:01:56.720
I'm sure every pollster tracks public opinion on immigration. I'm sure the federal liberals poll on
00:02:00.900
the subject every month, but they never make that information public. It just shows how far offside
00:02:05.780
Trudeau's open borders mass migration scheme really is from public opinion. Anyways, there's a new
00:02:11.400
Angus Reid poll out, and obviously it focuses on the Canadian federal election. I'd like to take you
00:02:16.220
through it for a minute. Trudeau's blackface shame darkens liberal prospects, is their headline,
00:02:23.740
yet CPC support still remains static. Let me show you the top line number. It's obviously the one most
00:02:31.520
people look at right away. You can see it's a 1,441 voter sample size, which is pretty good.
00:02:38.220
The Conservatives lead 35% to 30%, which is probably around the margin of error, frankly.
00:02:46.400
The NDP are way back, and of course the Greens are in fourth with 11%. I really think they're going
00:02:51.160
to win a handful of seats in BC, maybe one or two in the Atlantic. I see they're now measuring the
00:02:56.880
People's Party, which is good. It's at 3%, which suggests they're not going to punch through anywhere
00:03:01.160
in first place right now, with the possible exception of Maxime Bernier's own riding.
00:03:04.940
But that could all change very quickly after the upcoming debates, now that Bernier will be
00:03:09.560
in the debate. Here's a regional breakdown of those numbers, which I think is interesting.
00:03:15.880
The Liberals are their strongest in Atlantic Canada. Do you see that on the far right-hand side
00:03:20.800
of the page there? They're at 39%, if you can see that. Apparently they've grown 6% in the last
00:03:28.160
month, all of the expense of the Conservatives. The Green Party there, look at that, at the far right
00:03:32.260
in green. They're at 17% in the Atlantic. Now it's a fairly small sample size, as you can
00:03:38.780
see, just 117 people. I find that a little hard to believe, but maybe it's true. Maybe
00:03:44.720
that's where people who are leftists, but don't quite think Jagmeet Singh has the horsepower
00:03:49.640
to do it, maybe that's where the pact of votes and disgust at Trudeau. Protest vote, maybe.
00:03:56.200
In Ontario, put the chart back up for a second. In Ontario, it's a dead heat. Do you see
00:04:00.000
that? Where it says region, Ontario, big sample size? Both parties are at 35%. But look at
00:04:08.340
Alberta there. 59% would vote Conservative. Just 17% would vote Liberal. You've got to
00:04:16.080
find six people who ask, would you vote Trudeau? Would you? Would you? Would you? Would you?
00:04:20.040
You have to ask six people before you find one who votes Liberal. And that sixth person out
00:04:26.180
of six is probably just confused or having a lark. Practical joke. I absolutely believe other polls,
00:04:32.600
including by Angus Reid, that show Western separatism is high, given Trudeau's war on oil
00:04:37.800
and gas pipelines rigging the rules. I like this chart here. It shows support by age and sex.
00:04:45.660
The most ardent liberal supporters in the country are women over 55, not millennials.
00:04:51.500
My theory is those women still think Pierre Trudeau is dreamy. And they're nostalgic for their own
00:05:00.500
youth in the 60s and 70s and are voting for Pierre's son and think maybe he's dreamy too. That's my
00:05:06.820
theory. The lowest support for liberals are young men, millennials, Generation Z, just 22% plunging
00:05:16.260
down. Isn't that something? I guess those are people who think Trudeau's fake. He's a fake male
00:05:23.560
feminist. They're just skeptical of his inauthenticity. And also young men worried about
00:05:30.260
getting a real job, including blue-collar jobs, which are pretty much being banned by Trudeau.
00:05:35.660
And the biggest boosters for both the NDP and Greens, not surprisingly, are young women.
00:05:40.400
I'm not surprised. Girls who dabble with vegetarianism in college. Young women who don't
00:05:49.200
yet have the burdens of work or paying taxes or worrying about kids, worrying about drugs and
00:05:54.160
crime. As soon as a woman grows up and gets married and has kids, they'll get over their
00:05:58.060
youthful dalliance with the NDP and Greens. Look at that. Falling from 28% support to just 11% support
00:06:05.160
for the NDP. Falling from 17% for the Greens to just 10%. When women grow up, they move away from
00:06:10.700
those exciting but crazy boyfriend. No wonder the parties on the left want voting to be granted to
00:06:17.480
16-year-olds. Quick glance at Maxime Bernier's People's Party. Do you see that there? It's right
00:06:23.620
at the bottom. 9% of young men support Bernier. I'm not surprised. Those are the guys who are sick
00:06:31.800
of political correctness on campus. They want a job. They hate taxes and regulation. They're worried
00:06:37.440
about what open borders, mass migration might mean in terms of driving down wages, driving up
00:06:42.380
the price of housing. I don't know. They just don't like the system. A couple more points.
00:06:48.300
This graph here shows how likely people who voted one way in 2015 are to vote the same way again now.
00:06:55.080
So 87% of Harper voters in 2015 say they're going to vote for Andrew Scheer again. The Green
00:07:01.440
Party's vote is pretty solid too, as you can see. 75% loyalty. The lowest loyalty is for New
00:07:07.560
Democrats. And fair enough, they have a new leader who has done poorly. But look at that, the red line.
00:07:12.640
Only 62% of Trudeau voters from 2015 say they can be counted on to vote for Trudeau in 2019.
00:07:21.500
That's another way of saying they're disillusioned. They think he's a bit of an imposter. They've fallen
00:07:26.040
out of love. Just like Paul Wells, when he wrote this McLean's article. Basically, a dear diary.
00:07:32.840
I was fooled by this handsome man. But look at this. This is what Angus Reid calls a momentum score.
00:07:40.320
What way is your opinion on any given leader moving? 45% of people say their opinion of Trudeau
00:07:46.740
has fallen in the last month. Net 45, by the way. That's car crash territory. Here's another way of
00:07:54.220
looking at that. 61% of Canadians disapprove of Justin Trudeau. Amazingly, it was actually a little
00:08:00.060
bit worse back in February when the SNC-Lavalin corruption scandal broke. But it hasn't healed.
00:08:05.960
That's the thing about falling out of love and feeling betrayed. It sticks. Canadians didn't really
00:08:11.760
know who Justin Trudeau was. They were duped. Like some handsome pickup artist at the bar with a well-rehearsed
00:08:19.020
pickup line. He flattered voters and he looked so good. But now we find out what a loser he is in the
00:08:26.300
light of the morning day. Racist, sexist, blackface, groper, liar, stammerer, international embarrassment,
00:08:34.300
empty suit. I mean, Trudeau likes to mock Trump. I'm amazed Trump was so restrained in reply to this
00:08:41.020
question. Did you see this? Mr. President, your reaction to Justin Trudeau? Can he survive this
00:08:45.900
controversy? Well, I was hoping I wouldn't be asked that question. It had to be you that asked it.
00:08:50.600
You had to ask me that question, right, Justin? I'm surprised. And I was more surprised when I saw
00:08:56.820
the number of times. And, you know, I've always had a good relationship with Justin. I just don't know
00:09:03.380
what to tell you. I was surprised by it, actually. Oh, by the way, only 33% of Canadians approve of Trudeau.
00:09:11.880
The daily presidential tracking poll by Rasmussen says Trump is at 53% approval, 20 points higher than
00:09:20.080
Trudeau. I don't know what will happen a month from now. The election is 27 days away. But here's what
00:09:25.680
I think. I don't think this is a total disaster to the liberal campaign, the blackface thing, mainly
00:09:32.540
because the liberals and Trudeau personally are not following norms and customs of honor and integrity.
00:09:39.680
If this were a low-level liberal candidate or a candidate from any other party, he would be
00:09:43.480
fired immediately in disgrace. And if he didn't have the good sense to leave, he'd be hounded out
00:09:50.020
by the media. Because neither Trudeau nor his palace guard nor his bought and paid for media will apply
00:09:55.720
the same standards to him, though. He knows he can just brazen it out or at least try. This is the
00:10:01.640
coarsening of our public conversation. The same way Trudeau just brazening out his SNC-Lavalin
00:10:07.540
firing the attorney general to protect a criminal friend of his. That has changed our country a bit,
00:10:12.500
you know. Because that's a new thing. That's sent a new tone for everyone. Everyone in the public
00:10:19.020
service, every prosecutor in the country, every criminal, every judge. We all now have a bit of a
00:10:24.580
different identity as Canadians. Everyone does. We're all citizens in a country that abides corruption.
00:10:31.960
It's who we are now. It's like lying. You know, the number one reason not to lie
00:10:37.400
is that if you lie, it turns you into a liar. It degrades you. It changes you. That is who you
00:10:45.740
become. You become a liar. That's the worst punishment for lying. And so it is the number
00:10:52.860
one reason not to have corrupt leaders. It's not just to avoid letting a criminal company off the
00:10:57.420
hook. Yes, that too. But it's that you throw away an honor and a dignity and a national identity that
00:11:03.920
took centuries to make. Trudeau's breaking us all a little bit because he won't do the honorable
00:11:10.640
thing and no one will press him to do the honorable thing. What a shame. So I don't know if this whole
00:11:16.040
blackface scandal, the real scandal being his lies, his lifetime of unaccountability and special
00:11:21.400
privilege, I don't know if this is going to stop him from winning on October 21st. But it has
00:11:26.200
knocked him off his campaign plan for one week out of a five-week campaign. It has destroyed a lot of
00:11:31.980
what's left in the Trudeau brand. You know what a brand is. It's his claims, who he claims to be as a
00:11:38.360
person, his public identity. It's blunted any attacks that he was going to make on conservatives for being
00:11:43.580
racist, which is really all they had planned. And it's this new Angus Street poll shows if you were a young
00:11:50.080
man or a woman, hopeful, leftist, liberal, woke, progressive, would you really get up and go out
00:11:56.900
and knock on doors and put up lawn signs and get your friends to come out to the polls? Would you
00:12:01.460
really feel motivated working for this creep now? Well, we'll find out in 27 days. By the way, if you
00:12:10.100
haven't gone yet, go to Campaign 2019. That's our website where we explain our battle plan. Stay with
00:12:30.160
Prime Minister Modi and I have come to Houston to celebrate everything that unites America and India,
00:12:36.560
our shared dreams and bright futures. I've also come to express my profound gratitude to the nearly four
00:12:43.860
million amazing Indian Americans all across our country. You enrich our culture. You uphold our
00:12:51.080
values. You uplift our communities. And you are truly proud to be American. And we are proud to have
00:12:58.680
you as Americans. The United States and India will make our nation stronger, our people wealthier,
00:13:07.900
our dreamers bigger, and our future brighter than ever before. And it won't even be close.
00:13:14.900
I want to especially thank a great man and a great leader, the leader of India, Prime Minister Modi,
00:13:23.740
my friend. Thank you. That's how you do relations with India. Unlike Justin Trudeau, who thought it was
00:13:32.960
just a costume tour. Trudeau, who brought along a convicted terrorist who was convicted of attempting
00:13:40.280
to assassinate an Indian cabinet minister and then blamed the whole shamazal on the Indians. That right
00:13:46.020
there is perhaps the warmest moment between an American president and a prime minister of India,
00:13:53.520
probably since Indian independence some decades ago. And joining us now to talk about this
00:13:58.940
fascinating diplomatic and economic and security union, and to go through a couple of the clips
00:14:05.180
from the respective leader's speech, is our friend Prem Singh, who joins us now via Skype from Calgary.
00:14:11.420
Prem, great to see you again. Good to see you too, Ezra. I was very proud. I'm not American.
00:14:18.480
Our own country, I think, has, in the person of Justin Trudeau, disgraced himself in his dealings
00:14:24.580
with India and then blamed it all on India. But I felt a pride. I felt pride in the U.S.-India
00:14:30.540
relationship. And I'm not even American. I just thought that was very moving.
00:14:34.160
Oh, it definitely was. I mean, both Prime Minister Modi and President Trump, they played very well. They
00:14:47.200
had the same similar message about it being for the people. The exceptionalism felt by both Indians and
00:14:55.540
Americans, you know, definitely was there. And, you know, their personal camaraderie and personal
00:15:03.660
chemistry. It's about as good as it can get. You know, you've seen their friendship evolve through
00:15:10.940
the past few years. But seriously, I mean, you saw it was moving, as you said, them holding hands and
00:15:18.320
and how Modi introduced President Trump as welcoming him to his family and continually calling him a
00:15:26.780
friend of India's. And today, President Trump called Modi the father of India, who brought India
00:15:34.200
together at a time when it was torn. You know what? One of the reasons I'm touched by the genuine
00:15:41.740
affection is because it is so genuine. And Trump and Modi obviously have very, very different
00:15:48.720
personalities, different lifestyles. But there are some similarities. I see they have similar
00:15:53.540
enemies, too. I saw some leftist globalists yesterday tweeting a picture of Trump and Modi
00:15:59.820
saying, two nationalists. Yeah, what's wrong with that? Two nationalists who love their own countries
00:16:04.980
but can get along very well on a bilateral basis. I think that's what we should all be aiming for.
00:16:10.420
The fact that they have the same enemies tells me they're both on the right track.
00:16:15.620
Exactly. And if you note, early on in Trump's presidency, he cut off all the funding that
00:16:24.680
the Obamas and Clintons were giving to Pakistan. And Modi made a key point of talking about how that was,
00:16:33.880
you know, terrorism was something that they were both fighting against, and radical Islam both
00:16:40.100
Modi and President Trump spoke about. They spoke about military and space cooperation. They spoke
00:16:48.920
about prosperity for their countries. And they spoke about trade. They inked a $7.5 billion natural gas
00:16:58.480
LNG trade with a private U.S. company, Tellurian and Petronet. Today, they also, the president announced
00:17:08.020
that the India-U.S. trade deal would be announced soon, and that there would be lower tariffs on U.S.
00:17:16.080
produce, and certain exemptions or preferential treatment that was given before would be brought
00:17:21.840
back into place. But you're right. They have a mutual desire to eradicate terrorism. And both of them
00:17:31.760
know that a lot of that was being funded and seeded in Pakistan. And so now you have these globalists and
00:17:39.180
all the people that called Trump a racist, you know, what are they saying now? Yeah. If you look back at
00:17:45.480
the statistics in 2016, when Trump was elected, 23% of Indian Americans actually voted for President Trump.
00:17:54.860
And I can tell you this much, after Sunday, and after Prime Minister Modi giving Trump essentially
00:18:01.680
an endorsement, you will have a lot more than 23% of those 4 million Indian Americans voting for
00:18:11.100
President Trump. Yeah, I tell you that Houston Stadium was huge. I just didn't know there was that
00:18:17.100
many politically active, excited Indian Americans in the United States. I just, I mean, how would I know?
00:18:23.060
But boy, they were revved up. I want to show a couple of clips from the speeches. And again,
00:18:27.640
they have very different styles, these two men personally. I'd like to start with something you
00:18:31.820
alluded to, which is terrorism. And you're right, Pakistan, but also China is a long term rival
00:18:39.320
to India. And it's, it's just like Trump thinking the grand picture to strengthen ties with India,
00:18:47.120
the largest democracy, what will soon be the largest economy, a military counterweight to China.
00:18:54.280
I think that might've been on Trump's mind too. Let me play a clip. This is Trump referring very
00:18:59.680
candidly to the security issues. And if I'm not mistaken, he gets a standing ovation from the
00:19:04.520
crowd here. Here, take a look. Today, we honor all of the brave American and Indian military service
00:19:09.880
members who work together to safeguard our freedom. We stand proudly in defense of liberty and we are
00:19:16.840
committed to protecting innocent civilians from the threat of radical Islamic terrorism.
00:19:53.880
was that he said that Prime Minister Modi and India takes their borders seriously. They take border
00:20:00.920
security seriously. And obviously, we all know that so does President Trump. And as you mentioned,
00:20:08.000
both, you know, this is a message to China as well on that front. They did talk about military
00:20:15.900
cooperation and cooperation in space in addition to trade. Yeah. What can I say? I'm jealous when you
00:20:22.980
mentioned the huge LNG deal. That could have been us. That could have been. It could have been. But as you
00:20:29.360
know, Ezra, the Indians did invest a billion dollars into the Petronas, or yeah, the Petronas LNG project,
00:20:39.020
Pacific Northwest, which got shelved. Right. You know, and they're not happy about that.
00:20:44.540
Well, I tell you, the Americans are now the world's largest producers of energy, and they're in net
00:20:52.540
exporters. They used to build... Exporters, and India is one of their largest buyers right now of crude oil and
00:20:59.580
natural gas. And to go even further on the military cooperation, what I thought was really,
00:21:06.120
really touching and outstanding was, you had the U.S. Army band playing the Indian National Anthem.
00:21:13.160
You know, I think we got a clip of that. And as you said, the whole event was so moving and patriotic.
00:21:22.300
It, again, culminated Trump's like Indo-Pacific strategy that he started a few years back.
00:21:30.040
I mean, today at his speech, he did say, it's not, this isn't going to be about globalists. It's about
00:21:37.400
patriots. And I mentioned it before, he called Modi the father of India. This relationship, and it was
00:21:46.160
a very shrewd, shrewd action on Modi's part to essentially endorse Trump for 2020. Yeah, very,
00:21:55.840
very... And what do you say now? You have Canadian politicians that all they do are, across the
00:22:03.220
board, across the political spectrum, they antagonize the U.S., and they antagonize the
00:22:08.440
president. You know, geopolitically, we will always be their biggest trading partner, and geographically,
00:22:15.200
you know, they stretch along our entire border. Yeah. You know what? I noticed that Donald Trump
00:22:20.880
was wearing the same business suit he wears every day. He didn't feel compelled to play dress-up,
00:22:26.620
even though Narendra Modi himself wears a more traditional Indian garb. He's a very spiritual
00:22:33.400
man. He's a bit of a philosopher, in a way. Trump didn't pander. Trump was Trump. Modi was Modi.
00:22:40.340
And they talked substance. And what a difference from our own dancing fool who thinks that if he just
00:22:48.020
does a little show-and-tell show, thank God not in blackface, that'll win the other guy over.
00:22:54.580
Let me play a clip from Modi. Now, Modi speaks in a different cadence and at a different pace than
00:22:59.700
Trump, obviously. I'd like to play a couple minutes. And this, I tell you, I just know right
00:23:05.660
now this will be cut into a dozen little campaign ads for Trump in 2020 targeting Indian Americans and
00:23:13.240
saying, look, guys, we're the party that loves India, freedom, economy, security. Here's a clip of Modi
00:23:25.900
This morning, we have a very special person with us.
00:23:35.640
This morning, we have a very special person with us. He needs no introduction.
00:23:47.080
This morning, we have a very special person with us.
00:23:56.560
His name is familiar to every person on the planet.
00:24:03.560
His name comes up in almost every conversation in the world on global politics.
00:24:22.380
His every word is followed by tens of millions.
00:24:35.020
He was a household name and very popular even before he went on to occupy the highest office
00:24:57.020
From CEO to commander-in-chief, from boardrooms to the oval office, from studios,
00:25:24.020
to global stage, to global stage, from politics, to the economy, and to security.
00:25:35.020
He has left a deep and lasting impact everywhere.
00:25:54.020
It is my honor and privilege to welcome here in this magnificent stadium and magnificent gathering.
00:26:12.020
I tell you, Prem, I cannot think of a single world leader,
00:26:23.020
not even the dictator of Cuba, who would speak so flattering about Justin Trudeau.
00:26:30.020
I can't name one country that would even give Trudeau the time of day these days, frankly.
00:26:36.020
That was genuine affection, and Trump, was he ever beaming?
00:26:41.020
I mean, I think that Narendra Modi was completely authentic.
00:26:47.020
I think he believed every word he said, and what he said was manifestly true in many cases.
00:26:51.020
But he also knows that Trump loves to hear that, and it showed.
00:26:58.020
I mean, you had the world's two largest democracies there, and, you know, flattering and commending each other, the leaders.
00:27:16.020
I do know some of our Canadian politicians were present, but none of them are courageous enough to admit that.
00:27:26.020
It's quite sad, frankly, that we don't have the courage to come out and support other world leaders that are doing good for their country.
00:27:39.020
You know, we have a lot of Indian or Indo-Canadians.
00:27:43.020
When we say Indian, sometimes people think First Nations.
00:27:49.020
I think, proportionately, there are more people of Indian ancestry in Canada than in the States.
00:27:58.020
I think you could fill a stadium in Vancouver, or I think you could fill a stadium in Toronto with 50,000.
00:28:08.020
Prime Minister Modi has done other events like this in Toronto and New York, and I forget the other place.
00:28:15.020
But this one was definitely special in that, well, the president was there.
00:28:22.020
And, you know, there were other Democratic officials that were present as well.
00:28:27.020
But this one definitely exhibited the Indian and American exceptionalism that their populace feels and the mutual respect that both leaders have for one another and for their countries.
00:28:42.020
You know, they know that this is an important relationship.
00:28:45.020
And their relationship, as you said, it is extremely genuine.
00:28:50.020
You know, and something that our Canadian leaders across the board need to realize that they have to stop pandering and they need to recognize and look at who they're allowing in their fold.
00:29:03.020
They're not realizing that there's radicals among, you know, that have infiltrated the parties.
00:29:10.020
We seem to think that we can have, you know, ethnics run as elected officials.
00:29:16.020
But you look at you look at what Trump is doing.
00:29:20.020
But if you actually look, the amount of Indian Americans that he has at the highest bureaucratic levels is pretty outstanding.
00:29:29.020
And you won't hear that in the U.S. media, but you'll find it in the Indian media.
00:29:35.020
And, you know, I recognized this back in 2016 when he was first elected.
00:29:41.020
India was very happy because they knew for them, for business and for trade, this was going to be a good thing.
00:29:49.020
This was going to be a good thing security wise as well, because right away, Pakistan, as I mentioned, was cut off at the knees.
00:29:56.020
Obama was giving them hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:30:04.020
Well, I tell you, it's a refreshing change to see a Canadian or American leader stand so solidly with a democracy that's fighting the same fights.
00:30:13.020
Trump meant every word that he said about liberty, democracy, security.
00:30:17.020
He didn't have to swallow his own values as Trudeau has done around the world.
00:30:22.020
And at the end of the day, what has Trudeau even gotten for it? Nothing.
00:30:25.020
I tell you, Prem, I really have no ties to India other than philosophical and ideological admiration for the world's largest democracy, part of the Commonwealth and, of course, any Indo-Canadian friends I have.
00:30:39.020
But I must say, I found that a very moving meeting.
00:30:43.020
And I can only hope that that does truly come to pass, that it marks a new era between those two countries.
00:30:51.020
What a shame that we are not first and foremost in America's heart, that it wasn't our prime minister on stage there.
00:31:01.020
But in the meantime, it's beautiful to watch this India-America relationship.
00:31:08.020
Well, I think as Canadians, we have a lot to learn.
00:31:11.020
We shouldn't be afraid to admit that we are at a function where the president is at.
00:31:20.020
We shouldn't, you know, how are these people leaders?
00:31:25.020
What I found very moving from both of them was that they said this was about the people.
00:31:31.020
And Prime Minister Modi did say America is a place where many Indians have realized the American dream.
00:31:40.020
And that he wants and he acknowledged how Trump has brought prosperity to their economy.
00:31:49.020
And he's, you know, he made a request to the 50,000 people that were there in Houston.
00:31:56.020
He said, I want you to bring five or 10 people from America to visit India every year.
00:32:09.020
And it would be very nice to see a Canadian politician, a Canadian leader that has genuine relationships with other world leaders around the world.
00:32:22.020
Well, Prem, just great to catch up with you on this.
00:32:29.020
One day we will sell Canadian oil and gas to India and Japan and South Korea and Taiwan.
00:32:44.020
Prem Singh, a good friend of ours, a friend of freedom, and a friend of oil and gas.
00:32:47.020
And we are both envious of the deal that the United States has struck with India.
00:32:54.020
On my monologue yesterday about the liberals trying to move past the blackface scandal, Dan writes,
00:33:08.020
I sure enjoyed that little slice of old world humor from Norman Lear from way back when you were still allowed to be funny.
00:33:16.020
You know, there's so many comedy shows from just 20 or 30 years ago.
00:33:29.020
And if you disagreed, you used to be able to disagree without destroying your opponent.
00:33:35.020
Someone with the nickname Mutawin writes, the liberals have been empowered for four years.
00:33:42.020
So why didn't they make any effort to reduce the burden we all have in terms of cell phone bill?
00:33:47.020
Well, you know, cell phone companies, when you think about it, there's an overlap with cable TV companies.
00:33:54.020
That happened to us when the Sun News Network was around.
00:33:57.020
We were owned by Quebecor, which is a huge Quebec-based cell phone and cable and internet company.
00:34:06.020
Same way Bell is, same way Rogers is, they all have TV channels.
00:34:13.020
And my personal observation from how Sun News Network lived as Part of Quebecor and how it dealt with Rogers was, these TV stations are the smallest part of these mega companies.
00:34:28.020
And if you're the CEO of Bell, if you're the CEO of Shaw or a company like that, you'll give Justin Trudeau what he wants on the political side, if you're allowed to make your real money on the cell phone side, the cable side.
00:34:47.020
So I think it's been a trade-off, the fact that all our TV and radio are so extremely pro-Trudeau, I think that's the nature of journalists to begin with.
00:34:57.020
But don't think that at the tip-top of these corporate conglomerates, the deal isn't made.
00:35:02.020
You let me continue on with the highest cell phone fees in the free world, and I'll make sure that CTV or Global or the CBC, well, they're owned by the state broadcaster, but the private ones, that they're very pro-Trudeau.
00:35:17.020
On my interview with Andrew Lawton, Liz writes,
00:35:21.020
Yeah, ironically, it appears to have been Time magazine that broke the blackface photo story, and I guess Global rolled out the video, but they haven't been punished.
00:35:45.020
I think it's just that they know Andrew Lawton will ask prickly questions, and Peter doesn't really want prickly questions, and he knows that the rest of the media won't mind.
00:35:57.020
On behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
