Hello, my friends. I have proof, incontrovertible proof, that the CBC lies. I'm not talking about
00:00:07.300
having a left-wing opinion. I'm not talking about an opinion. They lie like a rug. I know this will
00:00:13.840
shock you, but I'll provide you with proof. Hey, before I do, let me invite you to become a

Tonight, I have incontrovertible proof that you just can't trust a word the CBC ever says.
00:01:05.200
It's December 16th. This is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:09.980
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:13.760
There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:17.820
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my
00:01:28.480
I understand bias. We all have it. That's fine. You can be biased but still be fair. There are some
00:01:36.040
reporters I have dealt with who are very left-wing, but they are so fair I actually think it's a real
00:01:43.120
pleasure to be interviewed by them because at worst I'll get a good debate from them, but there's an
00:01:49.620
intellectual honesty and no gotcha journalism. It's been a while but Charlie Smith in Vancouver's
00:01:56.540
Georgia Strait is an example of that and even a few years back my dealings with Edward Keenan of
00:02:03.160
the Toronto Star. Very biased but very fair to me at least. I can live with that. I'm sort of used to
00:02:11.220
being a conservative in a leftist world, the media being even more think-alike than most, but what about
00:02:17.620
when a media company is so biased it literally refuses to even acknowledge reality? It just
00:02:24.540
will not even run a story at all even to criticize it because to acknowledge a story is to concede
00:02:32.340
a partisan point. We saw that recently in the United States when the shocking revelations
00:02:36.800
about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, came to light. He's under all sorts of investigations
00:02:42.020
for his corrupt dealings with China and Russia and Ukraine. He's under FBI investigation for tax evasion
00:02:48.820
and he even had his entire computer hard drive made public emails, photos, videos, including videos
00:02:56.480
and photos purporting to show him smoking crack cocaine with strippers and prostitutes.
00:03:03.580
I know it sounds crazy but it really was his hard drive and he really had those photos and videos on it
00:03:10.780
and they were published. The New York Post, one of America's largest and oldest newspapers,
00:03:16.280
published the news about Hunter Biden and his laptop but then Twitter literally banned them from tweeting
00:03:23.140
about it and banned anyone who retweeted the New York Post for days and days total ban, total election interference.
00:03:31.940
That's insane censorship but Twitter, they don't pretend to be journalists, right? I don't know what they are.
00:03:37.040
They're not really a platform. I think they're censors more than anything. They don't actually generate content
00:03:41.780
but they censor things. But look at this from something called National Public Radio, NPR.
00:03:47.720
We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories and we don't want to waste
00:03:54.720
the listeners and readers time on stories that are just pure distractions. That is what they had to say
00:04:00.980
about the Hunter Biden laptop. They were explaining why they weren't even covering the stories to
00:04:06.120
criticize them. With that, they just said Hunter Biden wasn't news. That was in October when it mattered.
00:04:12.780
Now it's November and then December where we are now, halfway through December.
00:04:16.300
And now after the election we know that it was a huge story. That there are investigations. And they
00:04:23.140
don't just touch on Joe Biden's son but on Joe Biden's brother. And obviously the only reason his
00:04:28.860
ne'er-do-well brother and his ne'er-do-well son are receiving lavish payments from foreigners
00:04:33.940
is not because they have any skills. But of course because they are related to Joe Biden himself. They're
00:04:39.940
selling their family relationship to him. So of course Joe Biden is newsworthy and these scandals
00:04:45.660
obviously are about Joe Biden at least at one degree of separation. But National Public Radio
00:04:51.880
said it was too boring. It's a distraction from, you know, more important things. Do you see what I
00:04:57.400
mean? You can cover the Hunter Biden story with bias. You're on Biden's side but you still cover it.
00:05:04.060
But if you are so extreme that you don't even cover it, well you're not a journalist anymore are you?
00:05:11.180
You're a what? I don't know. A propagandist? A liar? A partisan? A censor? A political campaigner? I don't
00:05:17.380
know. But you're not a reporter. And let me now bring you to the CBC. They're reporters, sort of.
00:05:24.640
They're government reporters. You have to have that adjective, that qualifier, that modifier.
00:05:29.620
They're government reporters which is a very different thing. In the story of the year in Canada
00:05:35.840
that we broke here at Rebel News about the China files, the CBC are not reporters. They're not even
00:05:43.200
government reporters. They haven't reported on them at all. They haven't shown them. They haven't
00:05:47.040
reported them with bias. They just pretend the documents don't exist. We broke that news story
00:05:52.040
seven days ago. Last Wednesday at 2.15 p.m. to be precise. We put all the documents up on our website
00:05:58.840
in full for the world to look at. We gave them to everyone. Later that day the Globe and Mail
00:06:04.280
reported on them. And then later the National Post. And then the next day the Toronto Sun
00:06:08.000
reported on them. And the Sun moved the story forward proving that Canada in fact did train
00:06:13.180
Chinese soldiers at CFB Petawawa in 2018. And within days huge American and foreign media
00:06:20.920
covered it too. I went on Fox News' largest show, Tucker Carlson. That was pretty fun.
00:06:26.760
But nothing, nothing from the CBC on Wednesday, on Thursday, on Friday. This was the biggest
00:06:33.760
story of the year until the weekend when literally there was a one sentence vague mention of it
00:06:39.960
on the CBC website. Not even a TV or radio story. I mentioned in passing and not showing the
00:06:45.940
documents. One sentence. Nothing on TV or radio news. The biggest scoop of the year. Don't take
00:06:53.120
it from me. It just absolutely was the biggest story of the year. It involved China. It involved
00:06:57.880
the Canadian Armed Forces. It involved Trudeau in internal battles and training Chinese troops
00:07:03.020
at Canadian bases and our allies objecting to that and secret documents that were released
00:07:08.200
by accident. And the two kidnapped Canadians, Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig. There was
00:07:13.480
literally nothing about this story that was not newsworthy. The CBC didn't try to spin
00:07:19.520
it. They just hid it. They just put a cone of silence over it. Until yesterday, six days
00:07:27.980
after our scoop, the CBC sat down with one of the CBC's masters, a Trudeau cabinet minister
00:07:34.820
named Francois-Philippe Champagne. The foreign minister who thought it was appropriate to have
00:07:40.240
a $1 million mortgage from the Bank of China, a state bank in the communist China, even after
00:07:46.940
he was elected as an MP, even after he was appointed to cabinet, even after he was appointed
00:07:51.080
to foreign minister. He's talking about China in the cabinet room while owing the Chinese
00:07:55.880
Communist Party and their bank more than a million dollars. You can't make that up. So
00:08:05.280
The reason I asked for a framework is, and you're well aware of this, the opposition charges
00:08:09.260
that your policy towards China is incoherent. There was recently an article in the Globe
00:08:13.960
and Mail which seemed to underscore that argument. It showed that the military had a certain posture
00:08:20.360
when it came to joint exercises with the Chinese military in this country, and that there was
00:08:25.040
a lot of pushback from your department about that. They didn't want disengagement when it
00:08:30.880
came to China. And this was a few months after Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were detained.
00:08:34.960
They didn't want to reduce the bilateral interactions or relationships in any capacity.
00:08:42.060
How are Canadians supposed to swear that one arm of the Canadian government says we shouldn't
00:08:47.020
be increasing our engagement or maintaining our engagement with China, while your arm,
00:08:51.260
another arm, says don't do anything to anger China? Are you more worried about China's
00:08:57.860
No, but let's put that in context of time. Now we're referring things to which date backs
00:09:03.200
at least, at best, two years ago, or two years ago.
00:09:07.620
And the point is that what I kept saying at the beginning, and I think people are watching
00:09:11.700
understand, China of 2020, not China of 2018, not China of 2016. And even some of colleagues
00:09:18.360
in Europe would say that the framework they've put at the beginning of this year is not any
00:09:22.180
more accurate because things are evolving so quickly when it comes to China. So my point to
00:09:27.400
that, what you were referring to was discussion between officials, which date back years. Clearly
00:09:36.920
But Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor had already been detained.
00:09:40.780
And that was at the time. And like I said, our view and our posture has been changing because now
00:09:48.400
You wouldn't have pushed back today like there was pushback then. Not you, I know it was somebody else.
00:09:52.640
No, no, but I would say we would never consider that today to do what was done. But my point is
00:09:57.660
that we always have to put that in time because you could refer back that the previous government
00:10:02.740
assigned also a joint exercise agreement or some framework. You would never do that today.
00:10:11.840
Now, it doesn't bother me that Vasily Kapilos of the CBC mentions the Globe and Mail instead of us,
00:10:16.860
because it's true, the Globe and Mail did do the story. It's bizarre to me how she describes
00:10:21.920
the documents. She never mentions secret documents, never shows the documents, just mentions the
00:10:28.280
Globe and Mail. So if you didn't read the Globe and Mail, you probably don't even know what she's
00:10:31.240
talking about, really. She lets her boss, that Liberal cabinet minister, get away with pretending this
00:10:37.140
was done years ago. No, it wasn't. It was 2019. It was last year. It was just last year that this
00:10:44.500
pro-China Trudeau government was screaming at the army for daring to want to cancel a cold-weather
00:10:49.480
warfare exercise. It wasn't ancient history. It was 2019. It was last year. After China took our
00:10:55.860
two hostages, that's what made it extra outrageous. This little weasel was trying to say, oh,
00:11:01.360
China is very different now. No, it's not. And the CBC's obedient employee did not push back.
00:11:09.700
But look at the tweet that included that video. Look at this. I just want to show you what they
00:11:15.360
wrote. Not the video. They wrote, François-Philippe Champagne says Canada would never today consider
00:11:23.900
joint military exercises like the exercises that were reportedly planned and subsequently cancelled
00:11:30.200
in 2019 between the Canadian Armed Forces and China's People's Liberation Army. Story first reported
00:11:37.120
by Globe and Mail. So in the video clip, Vassie Kaplos says the story was in the Globe and Mail,
00:11:44.620
which is true. It obscures the full truth, but the story was reported in the Globe. She didn't
00:11:50.480
describe the story or show the documents, but it was in the Globe. That's fine. I don't really care.
00:11:55.780
But look at the written version. Story first reported by the Globe and Mail. But that's just not true,
00:12:05.460
is it? Who wrote that? And why would they write that? Look at all the replies to that tweet. Scroll
00:12:13.000
down. Keep scrolling. Keep scrolling. Everyone calling her out as a liar again and again. And keep
00:12:23.480
scrolling. Keep going down slowly. The CBC just being butchered by the millions of people who know.
00:12:31.600
It came from us. Even other media, including in the United States, mentioned it too. This is a lie.
00:12:38.080
Story was broke by Rebel Media and Ezra Levant. Huge, huge. I mean, five million people, or however many
00:12:45.280
watched Tucker Carlson on Fox, saw where the documents came from. I really don't think anyone
00:12:51.220
in Canada actually watches CBC Politics. If you look at the CBC's latest viewership statistics,
00:12:56.700
they're plunging. It's really as close to zero as it gets. I think there's just like three percent
00:13:01.700
of Canadians even watch it. It's, I don't know. Maybe there's a relationship there. Maybe the fact
00:13:09.200
that so few people watch the CBC is related to the fact that so few people trust the CBC.
00:13:15.720
We're biased here at Rebel News. We're conservative. Just heads up in case you didn't know. But you've
00:13:20.240
never seen us kill a story to support a Tory. In fact, the conservative party, the fact that we
00:13:27.520
can't be controlled by them, I think they hate that about us as much as Trudeau hates that about us.
00:13:34.060
Same reason as that loser Andrew Scheer who stopped talking to us after we criticized him. We're
00:13:38.480
independent, which is why I think people trust us even when they disagree with us, even when they're
00:13:44.820
liberal. They know we have an opinion, but we are fair. And we break stories. And we talk about the
00:13:50.980
news even when we don't like the news. Not the CBC. They simply don't talk about stories, huge stories,
00:13:59.100
stories of the year, when those stories embarrass their liberal boss, Justin Trudeau, and his crooked,
00:14:05.960
crooked cronies. And when they do finally mention it in a tweet seven days later, they lie like a rug.
00:14:14.820
CBC hates you. I think the CBC hates a lot of Canadians. But judging by their ratings,
00:14:21.980
I think the feeling is mutual. Stay with us for more.
00:14:37.820
You know, in this battle for the soul of America, democracy prevailed. We, the people, voted.
00:14:44.360
Faith in our institutions held. In America, politicians don't take power. People grant
00:14:52.280
power to them. The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. And we now know
00:15:00.280
nothing, not even a pandemic or an abuse of power, can extinguish that flame.
00:15:05.960
The court sent a clear signal to President Trump.
00:15:10.480
Well, that is a clip of Joe Biden in the wake of the electoral college vote that gives him formally
00:15:18.060
the title of president-elect. It looks like Donald Trump's last-ditch legal efforts have failed. There
00:15:26.260
still is an obscure path to victory for Trump. But I think we have to acknowledge that it is
00:15:31.600
most unlikely. However, in his moment of victory, Joe Biden was bitter, negative, continuing the attack
00:15:39.980
instead of uniting America, poking at those who didn't support him. It was an incredible speech
00:15:46.400
punctuated by bursts of coughing. Here's a quick glimpse of that.
00:15:53.400
And once again, in America, the rule of law, more Americans voted this year than have ever voted
00:16:01.100
in the history of the United States of votes counted. The Pence received when they won in 2016.
00:16:06.780
Excuse me. Or dispute the results margin four years ago. And yet, I thank them. And I'm convinced
00:16:18.200
we can work together for the good of the nation on many subjects. That's the duty owed to the people,
00:16:28.060
Well, what do you make of this speech? And will Joe Biden even make it to inauguration?
00:16:33.120
Joining us now via Skype from the Los Angeles area is our friend Joel Pollack, senior editor
00:16:38.580
at large of Breitbart.com and the author of the new e-book, Neither Fair Nor Free. Is that the title
00:16:50.220
Neither Free Nor Fair, the 2020 U.S. presidential election. And yes, it's about how our election
00:16:57.740
was distorted by the Democrats, by the media, by various other institutions to make it very
00:17:05.100
difficult for Donald Trump to win. If you zoom out from the question of voter fraud, which
00:17:09.320
people are still very concerned about, and you look at the election as a whole, this was
00:17:13.440
not an election conducted by what would be standard democratic standards or standard international
00:17:20.920
practice. This was skewed against the president, and it's actually as remarkable that he did as well
00:17:28.800
Yeah. As you point out, this unfairness and this unfreeness was not done in the main illegally.
00:17:36.920
That's the crazy thing, is it was approved by courts, usually litigated, not legislated.
00:17:43.260
So the big steal didn't happen with, you know, extra ballots being sneaked in, in the dead of
00:17:49.480
night. It happened months earlier with the vote harvesting. But let's talk about, we had a great
00:17:55.060
interview with you about your book before. I'm sorry, I just, the last moment I thought, oh my
00:17:58.600
God, this is your expertise. This is your turf. But last night, Biden gave a speech and, you know,
00:18:05.680
do a victory lap or the opposite. Be magnanimous. I mean, you finally won. I think it's fair to,
00:18:12.220
I mean, 99.9% chance. Let me put it this way. A lot of those British betting houses that let
00:18:18.260
people bet on political outcomes, they refused to pay out until yesterday, where I think one of
00:18:25.260
the big ones paid out over a billion euros. So that's how certain they are. Let me put it that
00:18:29.960
way. Instead of saying, all right, I won. I got everything I ever wanted. Let me actually be
00:18:35.080
magnanimous for an hour. Biden couldn't do it, could he?
00:18:38.240
No. And I think he ought to reach out to Trump and his supporters. He actually has the unique
00:18:48.100
opportunity and ability to do so because he's now the president-elect. So he has what he wanted,
00:18:54.140
and he can bring the country together if he reaches out, if he talks about the things that
00:19:01.960
Trump contributed to the country, if he thanks Trump for Operation Warp Speed. Biden's pretending
00:19:06.500
this vaccination plan is now his own. You know, he's out there promising to vaccinate 100 million
00:19:11.240
people by March. Well, that's what Trump's already doing. So if he acknowledged that Trump had a
00:19:17.440
positive effect on the country, even if his own supporters don't believe it, even if Biden supporters
00:19:22.400
would be upset, if he said to Trump and his supporters, thanks for your service, thanks for
00:19:27.520
what you did, let's move ahead together, I think that would be incredible, actually. And he has the
00:19:33.800
opportunity to do it. President Trump reached out when he won in his victory speech, he reached out
00:19:39.640
to those who didn't vote for him and so forth and was simply met by conspiracy theories and resistance
00:19:45.200
and hostility. I think when you are the winner of the election, it's in your best interest to be
00:19:53.640
magnanimous. But instead, Biden continued arguing the case that he had already won. Biden continued
00:19:59.480
arguing why these challenges by the Trump campaign had fallen short. And he seemed irritated that they
00:20:06.300
had even been brought rather than saying the other side had its rights, the other side had its day in
00:20:11.960
court, the other side challenged these results and we respect their right to do so. No, he basically
00:20:18.000
expressed irritation. This is a guy who couldn't admit that Trump was a legitimate president. I mean,
00:20:24.480
as recently as last May, he was agreeing with Democratic voters who said that Trump was
00:20:30.180
illegitimate and was placed in office by Russia. So Biden and the Democrats refused to accept Trump's
00:20:36.900
election as legitimate for years. And yet Biden is somehow annoyed that Trump is going through the
00:20:42.180
legal system and exhausting every option he has. I mean, that's what Democrats would do in the same
00:20:47.620
position. So the idea that what Trump is doing is somehow illegitimate. The other thing Biden did was
00:20:52.580
he condemned intimidation and threats and so forth against poll workers, election workers, election
00:20:59.720
officials. He was right to do so, but he didn't condemn the physical attacks on Trump supporters
00:21:04.900
that have happened since the election. He didn't condemn the intimidation against Trump's lawyers.
00:21:09.800
With Biden, condemnation of violence is almost always entirely in one direction. And he pretends that
00:21:16.340
the violence is a right wing problem. It is overwhelmingly 99 percent a left wing problem in this country.
00:21:21.620
And by ignoring that, he's effectively condoning it. He's not going to stop the left from doing
00:21:28.240
violent things. He's not going to stop the left from intimidating lawyers and destroying that aspect
00:21:34.280
of our judicial system, that everyone has the right to representation, that everyone has a right to a
00:21:38.240
defense or just to make their case in court. And I think Biden burned bridges with that speech. He could
00:21:44.700
have reached out and instead he is proving himself to be the servant of a party that is bent on vengeance,
00:21:50.260
not on reconciliation. The only Republicans Biden is interested in talking to are those who don't like
00:21:54.880
Trump. That's not who you have to negotiate with. The people you have to reconcile with are the 75 million
00:22:00.780
people who supported Donald Trump and Donald Trump himself. And Biden's never really reached out
00:22:06.340
personally. He continues to treat Trump like some kind of usurper, like some kind of dilettante
00:22:11.500
interloper who never got elected properly in the first place. That's not going to fly. And if Biden does that,
00:22:17.100
the country is going to remain divided for years into the future. This is an opportunity for him
00:22:21.600
to lead by telling Trump that his service is appreciated, by giving Trump, in a sense, a
00:22:26.820
dignified exit, and also by telling Democrats stop pursuing Trump with these fruitless investigations.
00:22:31.740
You know, they're promising investigations ad infinitum of Trump and his family. For what? We don't know.
00:22:36.640
They're just going to find something. They're going to just investigate. That's corrosive to our
00:22:40.920
democracy. They talk about a peaceful transfer of power. But when you're threatening the other party
00:22:45.160
with continued investigations forever for no reason, that's not a peaceful transfer of power.
00:22:49.840
So Biden has an opportunity and really a responsibility, I would argue, to lead. But
00:22:53.380
he's not doing it. He's choosing the route of division. And I think that's going to have some
00:22:57.580
very serious consequences. You know, Joe, I didn't plan to bring this up. But when you mentioned
00:23:03.960
they're threatening to investigate him and his family ad infinitum, their rationale to come later,
00:23:10.060
they just know what they want to do. I mean, the irony being, of course, that Hunter Biden
00:23:14.200
really was under investigation for some very serious accusations. And the media and the Democrats
00:23:20.060
silenced that. But, you know, this is off topic a little bit. And I didn't plan to bring it up.
00:23:27.860
But not one hour ago, Joel, I received a courier package here at our Rebel News headquarters in Toronto,
00:23:34.660
Canada, from a Democrat deputy attorney general threatening to investigate us for a particular
00:23:44.160
story and activity we did in the United States. Us here in Canada. I'll do a, I won't get into it now,
00:23:52.480
but I mean, I was shocked. And I mean, I'm laughing at it. I mean, come and get me up here in Canada.
00:23:57.660
But if that's how scorched earth these Democrats are going to be, like, who am I? I'm a nobody.
00:24:04.280
I'm up here in Canada. I'm not even an American. We just do, you know, have a website. If I'm getting
00:24:09.880
threat letters from Democrats myself, I can only imagine what it's like to people actually in the
00:24:17.060
Trump campaign and actually in the Republican Party. I mean, forgive me for bringing up the story.
00:24:23.000
It's not really relevant other than it's an anecdotal example of how bitter and vengeful the
00:24:29.180
Democrats are as opposed to magnanimous and healing. As you say in your Breitbart article,
00:24:34.280
he didn't build bridges. He burned them. Yeah, I'd be really interested in the story you published
00:24:42.020
and what they're threatening to do. I mean, that sounds like it's quite newsworthy, but
00:24:47.040
that's what Democrats are aiming to do. They are claiming that questions about voter fraud are
00:24:56.760
foreign disinformation. Now, they spent years on Russia collusion hoaxes and talking about voting
00:25:04.940
machines and so forth. I mean, you can go back and find old video of Joe Biden attacking voting machines,
00:25:09.780
saying that they're subject to interference and hacking and all sorts of things like that. So
00:25:13.580
this has been a bipartisan concern. Neither party's done anything about it. But the idea that you
00:25:18.660
could even raise questions and be accused of essentially acting for foreign interests is so
00:25:23.140
corrosive. Ron Johnson, the senator in charge of the Homeland Security Committee, exploded at his
00:25:28.240
Democratic counterpart, Gary Peters of Michigan, earlier on Wednesday, saying that you guys lied in
00:25:36.320
public, saying that all of these Hunter Biden stories were Russian disinformation, and now they turn out to
00:25:40.200
be true. So the Democrats are in a mood to dismiss anything that is accurate or even just legitimate
00:25:48.260
questions about things that they do, about their political figures. They're prepared to dismiss it
00:25:52.900
as foreign disinformation and to imply that you're committing a crime by reporting it or even bringing
00:25:58.000
it up. You can get censored on social media, kicked off of YouTube and so forth. And that's the climate
00:26:04.060
right now in the United States. I mean, you and I talked about it before the election, and here it is.
00:26:07.880
And we'll see how far it goes. But certainly Joe Biden has done nothing to stop it. And in fact,
00:26:13.520
as Jonathan Turley, a liberal constitutional law professor at George Washington University,
00:26:17.480
he's not a Republican, but he shares many classical liberal views on freedom of speech. He's pointed
00:26:24.140
out that the Biden campaign has insisted for months on restricting freedom of speech on censorship on
00:26:30.620
social media platforms, and that some of the advisors he's appointed to his transition team
00:26:34.980
are some of the most vigorous advocates of censorship in public life in America. They think that if
00:26:41.960
stories are inaccurate or even just inconvenient, they should be drummed out of the public square.
00:26:50.140
The answer to them isn't more speech. The answer to them is less speech, and they want to decide who
00:26:54.160
gets to speak. This is who Joe Biden is bringing into the American administration. So after all of the
00:26:59.200
ridiculous fantasization of Trump as a kind of would-be Hitler, we now have Democrats openly
00:27:07.260
promising to restrict freedom of speech in America and saying that the censorship that's been handed
00:27:12.620
down already by the social media companies hasn't gone far enough. So you're getting a taste of that
00:27:16.760
with the attorney general or deputy, whoever it was, sending you that kind of threat for a media story.
00:27:23.580
I mean, the right response to a media story that doesn't meet the definition of libel is simply
00:27:27.800
to put out your version of the story. And, you know, you're seeing some of that with the debate
00:27:32.400
over voter fraud in America. You know, there was a story from Michigan about a voting machine turning
00:27:36.500
out a 68 percent error rate, and they had an expert in front of that same Senate Homeland Security
00:27:42.060
Committee who said that's not really accurate. The 68 percent figure represents a message that's
00:27:46.880
generated, but it's not an error. So, you know, you put out the correct information. Of course,
00:27:51.280
the lie goes halfway around the world, and it's harder to catch up with it. But as long as the
00:27:54.800
information gets out there, things that are inaccurate tend to fall away, or at least they
00:27:59.200
discredit the people who repeat them after a certain period of time, you know, when there's
00:28:02.420
sufficient time to inform yourself about what the actual facts are. But Democrats don't even want
00:28:07.900
to let that process happen. And that process is necessary if people are going to believe each other,
00:28:12.380
but Democrats just want to use the heavy hand of government and the immense power of Silicon Valley to
00:28:16.500
control public discourse. Yeah. If you've got 75 million plus Americans who voted for
00:28:21.240
Trump, they're in different degrees of passion and ideological partisanship. I mean, many of those
00:28:28.060
people are just severely normal people who think about politics once every four years.
00:28:33.400
Those, let's say, moderate Trumpists or centrists or independents would be the people most receptive
00:28:40.300
to a message of reconciliation because they would say, oh, okay, so we lost the battle, but we are all
00:28:45.860
still one family, and we all still abide by the rules, and we're coming together again. Like, you'll
00:28:51.680
never convince the hardest line partisans on either side. But I think there's a feeling, and I'm, look,
00:28:58.100
I'm in Canada, I'm not in the States, but there's a feeling that amongst many Republicans that they
00:29:03.080
didn't just lose the election, it was taken from them in unfair ways. That's what your book describes.
00:29:08.440
So a generous word can take the sting out of a feeling that you've been hard done by. Losing a
00:29:16.740
game fair and square, most people are fine with that. That's sports. You lose the battle. Maybe you're
00:29:21.220
even disappointed in yourself more than anything. You're impressed by the winner. But when you feel
00:29:25.300
it was stolen from you, you have a deep dissatisfaction. A kind word of encouragement and soothing,
00:29:32.820
I know those are alien words in politics, would probably take the sting out for half of those 75
00:29:39.940
million, yet not one of them will get that. And as you warn us, harsher things to come. Last word to
00:29:46.580
you, Joel. You know, I think both sides can be better. I mean, I don't think Trump has necessarily
00:29:52.760
helped himself with some of the things he said. And I've often thought back, I don't know what you think
00:29:57.440
about this in Canada, but I've often thought back to Prime Minister Harper's closing speech when he
00:30:04.520
lost to Justin Trudeau, where he said, the people are never wrong. And it struck me as kind of an
00:30:11.140
interesting statement, because sometimes people are wrong. I mean, you know, I mean, half the people
00:30:15.640
don't think the other people, the other half got it right. But it struck me as one of the most profound
00:30:21.060
sentiments about good sportsmanship in an election, that you're just going to accept the result.
00:30:25.980
I think the difficulty that Trump may have with saying that in this election is that
00:30:31.020
it's not entirely clear what the result is. You know, it's not entirely clear that this result
00:30:36.120
was arrived at honestly. But I do think that Trump could help himself by saying something like that,
00:30:41.680
that, you know, he accepts the judgment of the people and the people really have ratified his
00:30:45.460
policies in many ways. I mean, they've given Republicans more seats in the House and so forth.
00:30:49.980
So I think Trump could be doing more as well. But I agree that it's really, it really would be
00:30:55.420
helpful if Biden would appeal to the other side, and not just by appealing to the Republicans that
00:31:00.560
are sort of media approved, but to the ones who actually enjoy some legitimacy among Trump's 75
00:31:05.740
million vote strong base. Yeah. Well, listen, great to talk with you again. We're speaking with Joel
00:31:10.740
Pollack, senior editor at large of Breitbart.com. And his e-book, which is available right now,
00:31:16.000
and we'll put an Amazon link below this video, is Neither Free Nor Fair,
00:31:20.080
the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Great to see you, Joel. Take care, my friend.
00:31:25.860
Thank you. All right. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:31:39.340
Hey, welcome back on my show last night. Paul writes, people may be figuring out that they
00:31:43.420
don't intend to ever end this farce. Yeah. You know what? I'm seeing stories about, well, even if you take
00:31:48.600
the vaccine once, you have to take it again. Oh, and even still, you have to wear face masks.
00:31:52.440
Well, what happened to two weeks to flatten the curve? Andrea writes, the politicians making the
00:31:57.980
rules are total hypocrites. They constantly treat us like children to make us toe the line. I don't
00:32:02.580
think they believe what they're telling us little people, because if it was as dangerous as they say
00:32:06.700
it is, they wouldn't even want to break the rules. Oh, exactly. It's like when Al Gore is on his
00:32:11.860
private jet or a private yacht talking about global warming. You sort of see they don't mean it.
00:32:16.860
They're not acting like they're terrified. Julie writes, I just purchased the book on Amazon.
00:32:21.540
I can't wait to read it. Ah, you know, I'm so excited that you're buying Raheel's new book
00:32:26.440
called The ABCs of Islamism. I'm so proud that she chose to be published with us. In a way,
00:32:33.780
maybe other publishers would push her out because she's a critic of Islamism. But in a way, I think
00:32:39.840
Raheel could have gone to a lot of places. She's so prestigious. She's so thoughtful. She's got such an
00:32:46.680
excellent voice. What an honor for us to have her publish that book with us. I'm just so proud.
00:32:52.600
And I really want that book to go to number one. If you want to go to the ABCs of Islamism.com,
00:32:57.640
you can find it there or just go to Amazon.ca. Well, my friends, that's our show for today.
00:33:03.160
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:33:06.800
to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
