Tonight, Trudeau tells the mainstream media what to say about the UN's migration pact
00:00:04.840
and they say it. It's December 6th and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:14.380
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:18.200
There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:21.880
You come here once a year with a sign and you feel morally superior.
00:00:24.880
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it
00:00:35.500
If you watch my live YouTube show every week, it's on Fridays from noon till 1 p.m. Eastern Time,
00:00:40.940
you'll know that last week we went through the United Nations Global Compact for Migration point by point.
00:00:46.760
Obviously, we didn't get through the entire document.
00:00:52.700
It's a small book, but we went through what I thought were 10 troubling passages in it.
00:00:58.840
Like this one that simply says governments have to facilitate migrants to bring their entire families
00:01:05.580
along with them, regardless of their skill level.
00:01:13.780
Or this one where governments have to set up specialized,
00:01:17.340
migrant-focused health care that is culturally appropriate, they say,
00:01:28.180
How countries have to set up special human rights institutions
00:01:31.980
to investigate and litigate any complaints made by migrants.
00:01:38.480
and the word rights appears 112 times in this document.
00:01:46.280
I showed how this document goes far beyond just immigration policy into propaganda.
00:01:52.640
It calls for pro-immigration content to be put into school curriculums.
00:02:00.060
And one of the most worrying passages is this long one,
00:02:03.280
where the governments agree to re-educate journalists on the positives of migration.
00:02:09.240
Seriously, journalists will now have to go through government training on this issue,
00:02:13.060
and any journalist that doesn't is to be punished.
00:02:15.980
The UN Compact calls on governments to cut off any such media outlets,
00:02:22.840
I think I'll probably do another video on the subject,
00:02:24.760
but if you have a full hour, you can find my YouTube chat about this from last week.
00:02:29.020
My point is, I actually read the thing and went through it line by line,
00:02:33.120
including the full title of the document itself,
00:02:37.600
Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration,
00:02:40.760
Intergovernmentally Negotiated and Agreed Outcome, 13 July 2018.
00:02:48.680
It's about normalizing and regularizing mass migration,
00:02:52.460
legalizing it, putting in processes to turn the chaos of the past five years
00:02:56.940
into an official thing, set up institutions to clear the way for migrants.
00:03:01.320
It's like I say, 112 mentions of the new human right to migraine.
00:03:13.360
Did you know we were negotiating and agreeing to this back in July?
00:03:16.900
I'll admit, I didn't really even know about this until a couple months ago.
00:03:23.820
Do you think most of them even know about it now?
00:03:28.160
Do you think Justin Trudeau has actually read through the 34-page document that he has agreed to?
00:03:37.680
He leaves the heavy thinking about immigration to this guy, George Soros,
00:03:40.980
seen here at one of their meetings in New York City.
00:03:46.840
That photo was actually tweeted by Justin Trudeau himself.
00:03:49.600
Here's an official press release from the government of Canada a few years back
00:03:53.560
in which Trudeau agreed to outsource Canada's immigration policy
00:03:57.640
to George Soros' foundation in New York called the Open Society Foundation.
00:04:09.880
Trudeau agreed with Soros that Canada would, and I quote,
00:04:13.600
provide a vehicle that mobilizes citizens in direct support of refugees
00:04:17.620
and encourages a broader political debate that is supportive of refugee protection.
00:04:28.040
George Soros will instruct Justin Trudeau on how to encourage a broader political debate
00:04:41.100
You can't call it broader if you're actually narrowing it, can you?
00:04:45.440
Well, you can do what you want if you're George Soros.
00:04:48.900
So although George Soros had an enormous setback in 2016
00:04:52.380
when his chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost,
00:04:55.560
he has simply just colonized Canada as his new base of operations.
00:04:59.700
He literally had Trudeau sign a contract giving him immigration policy powers.
00:05:05.160
And I haven't seen a single news story about that in the mainstream media, have you?
00:05:08.780
Oh, and here's Ahmed Hassan, the immigration refugee minister, posing with Alex Soros,
00:05:16.120
George Soros' playboy son, who is a diehard globalist leftist just like his dad.
00:05:22.180
Unlike Trudeau, I do believe that Hassan has read the document
00:05:25.220
and he will impose it on Canadians with a vengeance.
00:05:28.940
By the way, we at The Rebel filed an access to information request
00:05:33.540
asking for any background documents showing the contracts and agreements
00:05:38.420
and communications that the government and Soros had about their contract.
00:05:52.500
They just said, yeah, there's no records at all.
00:05:55.400
So he wrote to them again, more clearly, and they wrote back again,
00:05:59.580
yeah, sorry, sorry, that's just nothing, not even a single record,
00:06:04.140
not a single email, not a single memo, not a single record at all.
00:06:10.120
Imagine if Stephen Harper had signed a contract and put out a press release
00:06:13.500
boasting that he had given Exxon the power to write Canada's oil sands policy
00:06:22.320
And then one media outlet asked for records about the deal and was told,
00:06:32.040
And next week, the official United Nations conference on this compact for migration
00:06:40.480
That's what the document says right on its cover.
00:06:43.540
This conference will really just be a big party and a big photo op.
00:06:47.380
Now, I don't know what Canadian media will actually be going there,
00:06:51.540
We're sending David Menzies, our experienced reporter,
00:06:54.040
who was just down in Mexico for the better part of a week,
00:06:58.320
embedded with a migrant caravan there that was making its way up to the U.S. border.
00:07:05.160
As in, he'll actually listen to both sides of the story,
00:07:09.820
who treat any criticism of mass migration as a form of bigotry or something.
00:07:16.180
In fact, 80% of Canadians, according to this recent poll by Angus Reid,
00:07:20.240
want Canadian immigration levels to either stay the same, 31% say that,
00:07:30.840
Only 6%, as you can see, want immigration increase.
00:07:34.680
Sorry, you cannot say that 80% of Canadians are bigoted because they don't want more immigration.
00:07:39.580
Canadians just think immigration is out of control.
00:07:43.840
And there are a lot of bad actors like George Soros who want it out of control
00:07:46.560
and who delight in the chaos they're causing for the West.
00:07:52.760
but we realize when we're being taken advantage of by people who aren't real refugees,
00:07:58.960
The fact that Justin Trudeau has dispatched our RCMP to literally be concierges
00:08:02.580
and bellboys helping illegal immigrants carry their luggage across the border
00:08:07.420
between New York and Quebec shows Canadians that he can't be trusted on this file.
00:08:11.780
He's actually on the side of the cheaters and the fakers.
00:08:14.400
We also know that Trudeau isn't vetting migrants.
00:08:17.500
13-year-old Marissa Shen of Vancouver was raped and murdered,
00:08:21.760
and police have arrested and charged one of Trudeau's Syrian migrants,
00:08:28.320
He wasn't even supposed to be allowed into Canada.
00:08:30.880
Trudeau said he wasn't going to accept single military-aged men from Syria.
00:08:39.940
And the fact that every question about immigration is met with a charge of racism
00:08:42.620
is really gross, and I think it's starting to backfire.
00:08:45.600
I really think that's a key reason why Quebec threw out the Provincial Liberal Party this year
00:08:49.940
and elected a new party that didn't even exist 10 years ago.
00:08:54.340
I think a key reason is because they promised to reduce immigration to Quebec by 20 percent.
00:09:01.500
And they're also banning ostentatious displays of Islam in the public sector,
00:09:08.400
There was this awful moment on the campaign in Quebec,
00:09:14.180
asked Justin Trudeau about the massive cost of illegal immigration.
00:09:19.760
And Trudeau told her that she was a bigot and she had no place in Quebec.
00:09:42.600
Next week there's a big conference to consummate a deal that's already been agreed to,
00:09:47.300
And anyone in Canada who disagrees is called a bigot,
00:09:50.320
and Trudeau will probably say we don't have a place here in Canada.
00:09:52.920
Now, until a few days ago, no one was talking about this.
00:09:56.740
The Conservative MP, Michelle Rempel, raised it in question, period,
00:10:01.920
Mr. Speaker, the world is seeing unprecedented levels of men, women, and children
00:10:10.560
Our government is proud to have taken a leadership role on the global compact.
00:10:15.500
This is the first time the international community has worked together
00:10:18.800
to develop a comprehensive set of principles to better manage this phenomenon.
00:10:23.660
It is disappointing to see the Conservatives engage in peddling rebel media conspiracy theories
00:10:29.100
while we work with the international community to protect our robust immigration system.
00:10:34.860
Now, they didn't answer the question, of course,
00:10:36.820
and it was a bit weird to hear him refer to us at the Rebel, just out of the blue.
00:10:42.540
And you'll notice he was reading that word for word from a script.
00:10:48.080
And then Ahmed Hassan, the immigration minister himself, did the exact same thing,
00:10:53.980
Our government is proud to have taken a leadership position on the global compact.
00:10:57.880
This is the first time that the international community has worked together
00:11:01.520
to develop a comprehensive set of principles to better manage this phenomenon.
00:11:05.940
It is disappointing to see the Conservatives and the member opposite engage in peddling rebel
00:11:14.340
media conspiracy theories while we work with the international community to protect our robust
00:11:25.400
In fact, we did a little mashup of those two guys.
00:11:30.200
It is disappointing to see the Conservatives and the member opposite engage in peddling rebel
00:11:40.420
It is disappointing to see the Conservatives engage in peddling rebel media conspiracy theories.
00:12:06.440
I think that Gerald Butts, Trudeau's manager, wrote that script for both of them.
00:12:13.000
Trudeau said that same thing a third time, but he went off script slightly.
00:12:21.160
It's interesting, Mr. Speaker, in a question about sensitizing journalists, he's quoting rebel
00:12:28.360
Mr. Speaker, we are going to continue to stand up for immigration, knowing that defending diversity
00:12:34.420
as a source of strength and welcoming people to a rigorous immigration system from around
00:12:39.180
the world is what has made Canada strong and indeed something the world needs more of,
00:12:47.720
And then that pervy liberal MP from Calgary, Kent Hare, the one who was fired from cabinet
00:12:52.940
over sexual misconduct, but not fired from the liberal caucus, weirdly.
00:13:04.140
I mean, are we small and marginal as our enemies say we are, or are we powerful and dangerous
00:13:15.240
But to answer the charge directly, what conspiracy theory have we put forward?
00:13:21.740
Seriously, go and watch my hour-long treatment of the UN document last week on YouTube.
00:13:36.180
It's 34 whole pages long, and there's no pictures.
00:13:39.520
I pointed to a government contract with George Soros by showing you the Canadian government
00:13:48.160
They say, oh, there's no correspondence, no records whatsoever.
00:13:51.000
So I think it could feed a paranoid feeling that there's some conspiracy there.
00:13:54.840
But I've documented everything I've said today, haven't I?
00:14:00.980
When you remember that part of this UN migrant pact?
00:14:08.320
The part for governments to demonize any media critics of mass migration.
00:14:17.460
And they're going to reward and re-educate good journalists who are trustworthy and who
00:14:28.420
They are rewarding journalists that Trudeau can trust.
00:14:32.120
Remember his $595 million in bailout money for the election year.
00:14:37.760
And the journalists, well, look, they didn't need a lot of prompting to begin with.
00:14:42.160
You know the Globe and Mail, the National Post, they've adopted this strategy over the past
00:14:47.980
year or so of just ignoring us here at The Rebel most of the time.
00:14:50.980
We break news all the time here at The Rebel, especially using access to information scoops.
00:14:56.760
So these other journalists, they don't follow up on our great stories, even when it's huge
00:15:00.200
news, because they don't want to give credit to us or even mention our existence.
00:15:06.740
Sometimes, media party journalists just steal our stuff and rewrite it, pretending it was
00:15:14.740
And you'll notice on October 17th, Sheila broke some news about Catherine McKenna.
00:15:20.660
She made some tweet that praised Bashar Assad of Syria for fighting global warming.
00:15:26.300
It was a funny, nutty story about McKenna and how she blamed a junior staffer for her own
00:15:32.020
But the important thing there is that story came out on October 17th.
00:15:34.840
And you'll notice, if you look at the story, Sheila published the entire access to information
00:15:46.640
October 25th, eight days later, the CBC just rewrote Sheila's scoop.
00:15:54.760
CBC News has obtained documents under the Access to Information Act showing the minister's
00:15:59.440
office gave a final thumbs up to the tweet 51 minutes before it popped up on the screen.
00:16:08.380
Sheila broke that story eight days ago and published the memo.
00:16:14.680
My point is the other media ignore the rebel, hoping we'll go away.
00:16:19.680
We often have more viewers than them, and they hate that.
00:16:21.920
But my point here is that the Globe and the Post generally ignore us.
00:16:28.300
John Iverson, who's the liberal embed at the National Post, he refers to my video about
00:16:43.980
this migration pact right on the front page there.
00:16:49.480
And the Globe and Mail is Campbell Clark, Trudeau's man at the Globe.
00:16:53.700
Trudeau, he does the same thing, same line, same story, same thing, same day.
00:17:00.660
Now, I don't want to engage in a conspiracy theory here, but it is hilarious and pitiful to me.
00:17:09.360
That Justin Trudeau offered to pay the Globe and Mail and the National Post $595 million,
00:17:19.260
Trudeau then replies to any legitimate questions about this migration compact as a rebel media
00:17:24.700
conspiracy theory, and then, as if on command, by magic, the Globe and Mail and the National Post
00:17:31.700
say the same thing as the liberals do on the same day after not talking about us for years.
00:17:44.040
What's so funny about all this is that neither the Post nor the Globe
00:17:46.860
could actually find anything we said that was inaccurate.
00:17:50.720
If you actually read John Iverson or Campbell Clark, they might disagree with our contention.
00:17:57.000
I mean, the Post, John Iverson disagreed with my contention that this pact is dangerous.
00:18:05.860
It's probably an opinion shared by Marissa Shen's grieving family.
00:18:15.600
The Globe and Mail disagrees with my contention that this pact will regularize
00:18:21.340
Well, that's exactly what it does in 34 pages of detail.
00:18:27.220
But seriously, if that's the best they've got, they don't got a lot.
00:18:35.560
Trudeau has long said he doesn't believe Canada has a national identity.
00:18:54.420
Even though his official residence has a tall fence and armed security and he jets to private
00:19:01.960
He'll open the borders for the rest of us and Ahmed Hassan will be there to help them.
00:19:07.880
Well, we're going to keep criticizing this by actually citing the facts and actually reading
00:19:15.660
And we're going to send our reporter, David Menzies, along with a cameraman, to Marrakech,
00:19:23.740
The UN is giving us trouble with accreditation.
00:19:26.040
Obviously, Trudeau and Hassan have intimated, don't let these guys in.
00:19:30.340
Maybe they've sent it in another memo they won't disclose.
00:19:35.220
The Canadian government has told the UN not to let us into previous conferences.
00:19:42.100
The UN specifically declined allowing us into the global warming conference because they
00:19:48.320
said that the Canadian government delegation blackballed us.
00:19:58.500
John Iverson and Campbell Clark will still be allowed to go if they want, just as long
00:20:03.000
as they continue to say exactly what Justin Trudeau and Gerald Butts and Ahmed Hassan want
00:20:08.760
them to say exactly word for word on the same day.
00:20:15.060
And they'll get a $595 million tip for services rendered.
00:20:25.060
So if you want to help us send David to the UN, please help us cover his flight and the
00:20:34.720
You can see more about our project and chip in there.
00:20:39.280
Look, unlike the Globe and Mail and the National Post and Justin Trudeau, we actually read the
00:20:43.100
deal and we're with the 80% of Canadians who are sick of Trudeau's immigration policies.
00:20:51.460
Well, as I have mentioned, we have a busy international week coming up.
00:21:12.160
In addition to sending David Menzies and a videographer to the Marrakesh Conference on
00:21:19.040
the UN Global Compact for Migrants, we're also sending our Sheila Gunn-Reed and a videographer
00:21:26.920
to Poland to cover the UN Global Warming Convention.
00:21:37.640
And whenever we go to the Global Warming Conference, we've been to two of them before, Sheila has.
00:21:42.900
We love to meet up with our friend and ally, Mark Morano, the boss of ClimateDepot.com.
00:21:48.380
And he joins us now via Skype from Washington, D.C. before he departs for Poland.
00:21:58.000
I'm coming to you live here from the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
00:22:02.180
I just came from an event at EPA headquarters across the way where my old boss, the EPA
00:22:06.480
chief, Andrew Wheeler, was announcing some more rollbacks of Obama coal mandates that
00:22:14.240
So the Trump administration continues its pro-energy policies.
00:22:19.520
And I remember you and I have spoken several times about Scott Pruitt, who was Donald Trump's
00:22:27.200
He was a state attorney general who was suing the EPA, so he knew where all the bodies were
00:22:34.960
So you're saying his successor is continuing the pro-energy work?
00:22:43.580
One of the things the media was able to do was send the signal to any member of the Trump
00:22:48.520
administration, if you dare get aggressive like Scott Pruitt did, we will come after you.
00:22:53.580
So I think, sadly, there's less confrontational, but behind the scenes, they're still working
00:23:02.860
So tell me a little bit about this, because we know, of course, that Hillary Clinton and
00:23:07.100
Barack Obama hated coal, and in unguarded moments, they spoke very bluntly about it.
00:23:13.920
You know, Obama, here, let's play a quick clip of what Obama said about basically bankrupting
00:23:22.080
So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can.
00:23:25.400
It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for
00:23:33.680
And, Mark, I want to play one more clip for you.
00:23:36.680
This is Hillary Clinton in a town hall meeting.
00:23:39.640
This wasn't even some private affair, saying she looks forward to laying off coal miners
00:23:47.860
I'm the only candidate which has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using
00:23:54.180
clean, renewable energy as the key into coal country, because we're going to put a lot
00:24:00.180
of coal miners and coal companies out of business.
00:24:03.120
So, Mark, it was just incredible, the hostility towards an industry.
00:24:07.500
I mean, it reminds me of Canada, frankly, and the hatred for oil and gas up here.
00:24:11.280
So tell me what the actual policies were that Trump is now undoing.
00:24:19.060
What was the law or the policy that Trump's now undoing?
00:24:22.240
Well, one of the things he's undoing is Obama mandate was that money going to coal could
00:24:30.500
The idea is that we capture the carbon dioxide and try to bury it, put it underground, which
00:24:37.620
So what they've done now at the EPA under the auspices of the Clean Air Act, remember,
00:24:41.640
there's still severe legal restrictions on what the EPA can do because of that 2007 Supreme
00:24:48.120
Court ruling, the so-called endangerment finding that found carbon dioxide could be regulated
00:24:55.500
So now they're expanding coal mine, funding research to include new technologies that the
00:25:06.280
And one of the points that Administrator Wheeler made today at the press conference, and it
00:25:09.240
was a very skeptical media, the New York Times, everyone else there, was that if the United
00:25:13.440
States can continue to lead the way in technological revolution with carbon-based fuel,
00:25:18.120
it will benefit the rest of the world because they will take our technology and use it.
00:25:24.560
And we'll export that technology, which would result in lower emissions.
00:25:31.280
A hundred years ago, 80% of our energy came from carbon-based fuel, same as today, worldwide.
00:25:37.200
And coal is a huge part of that all over the globe.
00:25:39.580
And the U.S. needs to be a player, not have its hands tied with research, development, and
00:25:47.340
But the big goal remains, and that's to overturn the Supreme Court ruling.
00:25:51.500
And that's what is going to take years and, you know, ultimately have to go back to the
00:25:57.760
I love to show this New York Times article from a little while back about China is not
00:26:03.720
only building hundreds of coal plants in its own country, but it is now a major international
00:26:09.260
builder of coal-fired power plants for other countries.
00:26:13.340
And if those, that's the argument I used to make with ethical oil for Canada.
00:26:16.720
Look, China, India, places like that are going to buy oil from somewhere, better from Canada
00:26:23.100
If there's going to be a new coal-fired power plant going up in Indonesia or going up in India,
00:26:29.100
better that be an American company than a Chinese company.
00:26:34.160
And China's still building, according to the EPA today's latest estimate, at least one
00:26:40.240
And they're not scheduled to have peak emissions until at least 2030.
00:26:43.740
Remember, that was the big deal with President Obama's big meeting with China.
00:26:48.940
And basically, China agreed to do what it was projected to do anyway, which was cap out their
00:26:54.520
But I'm going to Poland, and we're actually going to be meeting with Polish mine workers.
00:27:00.000
I'm going to speak at an event at the John Paul II Cultural Center.
00:27:04.740
And the Polish coal worker is revered over there.
00:27:09.240
Seventy-nine percent of Poland energy comes from coal.
00:27:12.480
Pole workers, according to Poles, are the most revered segment of workers in the country
00:27:18.160
And they are one of the best paid with the highest benefits.
00:27:26.800
And the EU is trying to give a $1.5 billion bribe to Poland to help offset all the job
00:27:35.660
But as I made this point to the Polish member of parliament, who just was very appreciative,
00:27:44.240
They were dominated by the Soviets for decades.
00:27:46.160
And now the new master is going to be the EU and the United Nations as they're trying to
00:27:58.420
And thank you for segueing to your trip to Poland, because, of course, Sheila Gunn-Reed,
00:28:03.260
How do you pronounce the name of that city where the conference, Katowice, is that how you say it?
00:28:13.460
She has met up with you, both in Morocco and Bonn, Germany.
00:28:19.160
And I know you'll have lots of thoughtful things to tell her as sort of our friendly
00:28:23.620
But I want to sort of cross-pollinate here for a second.
00:28:26.600
We've been focused on another UN conference, too.
00:28:30.680
I mentioned the Marrakesh Global Migrant Compact.
00:28:36.180
And I want to show you, let me read it to you, because I'm pretty sure you have,
00:28:39.700
read it, because you're focused on the global warming side.
00:28:42.200
But let me read to you part of this migration treaty, it's called a compact, that deals with
00:28:53.920
And I'd love your feedback on it from another UN point of view, because you know the climate
00:29:04.520
Governments must, quote, promote independent, objective, and quality reporting of media outlets,
00:29:13.800
including internet-based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals
00:29:19.760
on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and
00:29:27.000
advertising, and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets
00:29:33.760
that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism, and other forms of discrimination towards
00:29:40.600
So this is a very lengthy part of the compact that goes to promoting propaganda media and
00:29:55.880
Well, this awfully, almost exactly sounds like what happened to you, I think it was two years
00:30:01.560
ago, when the UN didn't want your media there because it wouldn't be helpful for the message.
00:30:06.120
This is going a step further, saying that you need essentially re-indoctrination, re-education
00:30:11.020
camps if you don't agree with the UN's view on migrant issues.
00:30:19.460
In other words, you are not legitimate if you don't accept the conclusions of the United
00:30:26.980
And their talk about intimidation, re-indoctrination, banning, boycotts.
00:30:32.620
So the UN is staying true to its word on climate, and it's expanding this whole message of intolerance
00:30:40.380
I was not aware that they had this memo out or this understanding out.
00:30:44.680
I mean, you and I have talked before about how state broadcasters like the BBC blackball
00:30:55.580
But for governments to actively suppress skepticism, I think that's a new level for the UN.
00:31:01.200
So if it's happening on the migration side, you better believe it's going to happen on
00:31:06.720
Well, as I say, keep in mind, in America, we have the Green New Deal.
00:31:13.140
And essentially, it's 80 percent nothing to do with climate.
00:31:17.260
So it's very natural to talk about open borders, guaranteed college education, guaranteed housing,
00:31:23.480
That's where climate is fitting into this whole issue.
00:31:25.960
It's had nothing to do with climate environment, as we both know.
00:31:33.840
And it's a socialist worldview, for lack of a better word.
00:31:38.180
They're using the climate scare to achieve this.
00:31:40.440
And it's dripped over to the migrant issue and no borders.
00:31:45.260
And that's what's happening right now to Poland.
00:31:47.000
In Poland, they're literally facing sovereignty issues as the EU and UN are squeezing them
00:31:52.160
hard to start dismantling their coal industry, which is almost 80 percent of their energy.
00:32:00.080
I know you and Sheila will have an interesting investigation together.
00:32:04.400
Maybe she can tag along with you on one of the coal trips.
00:32:10.260
But I know that you provide excellent analysis.
00:32:12.900
I don't know anyone else who is as up to date on all these issues as you are.
00:32:27.120
But let me close, if I may, by encouraging people to go to RebelUN.com.
00:32:32.460
And you can find out more about both David Menzies' trip to the Migration Conference and
00:32:39.440
Sheila's trip to the Global Warming Conference.
00:32:42.160
And if you believe in our independent reporting and if you believe in getting voices like Mark
00:32:46.600
Morano out to the world, please consider chipping into our crowdfunding because we've got to
00:32:50.820
buy airfare for two journalists and two videographers to fly very far away.
00:32:56.180
The total cost of those trips is over $10,000 to us.
00:32:59.140
If you can chip in $10, $100, if you feel a move to donate $500, we'd be grateful.
00:33:05.720
Mark, thanks for letting me put that pitch at the end.
00:33:07.920
And thanks for joining us via Skype from the Trump Hotel in Washington.
00:33:13.060
Yes, I got my, I did, the waiter just delivered my food here.
00:33:15.940
And I just wanted to say, you guys do such a great job.
00:33:18.880
You're always there when I get arrested by armed UN cops and I'm hauled off.
00:33:25.140
You are the cameras of record for these UN conferences.
00:33:28.400
Well, hopefully you won't be roughed up too much this time, but we'll be there if it happens.
00:33:37.560
And he's been there as our on-the-ground expert that we talk with.
00:33:43.020
When we see him at these conferences, like us, they don't like him much and they treat
00:33:47.240
him very poorly, as the UN does to any dissidents.
00:33:50.300
I think that's why it's so important that he goes and why we send Sheila, as we will this
00:34:07.560
Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about Catherine McKenna bringing 126 people
00:34:23.680
Yeah, I don't even know how you negotiate with 16 people.
00:34:30.100
Like, I don't think there were 16 people involved in the great armistice that ended World War I.
00:34:37.980
Like, I don't think there's 16 people in the room when Secretary of State Pompeo sits down
00:34:44.000
with the South Koreans and the North Koreans to get it.
00:34:46.840
I don't think there's 16 people in the room there.
00:34:51.000
But Catherine McKenna is extremely, very important.
00:34:54.560
And all these people have to come to Poland because there's a lot of negotiating.
00:35:00.400
We won't know about it because it's undemocratic.
00:35:02.620
I showed you how this global migrant compact has already negotiated and agreed to.
00:35:06.320
I don't even think any Canadians heard about it.
00:35:10.920
Debra writes, did you see Elizabeth May on that list of environmental mooches?
00:35:17.900
And I'm sorry, I probably should have mentioned it.
00:35:20.200
And there is also a conservative MP named Mike Lake going.
00:35:28.780
I, you know what, I, I could, I theoretically could have gone through every one of the 126 names
00:35:45.400
On my interview with Andrew Lawton, Robert writes,
00:35:48.700
the media in Canada should be disgusted with their actions.
00:35:55.580
Look, I mean, I think it's okay to have a journalist with a point of view.
00:36:00.700
But when you are paid as a lobbyist and you have an official campaign to defeat someone,
00:36:10.040
They're going to campaign against the conservatives.
00:36:16.320
now I'm an independent journalist and this is my own editorial opinion without a disclaimer.
00:36:21.440
Like I say, I think the example I gave would be like an oil lobbyist
00:36:25.180
writing about a subject and not disclosing that he's paid by the oil lobbyist or paid by someone.
00:36:31.680
I mean, listen, we take letters from lobbyists all to think about it.
00:36:35.800
It's often the most interesting letters because we want to hear a strong point of view.
00:36:38.820
When an ambassador writes a letter to a newspaper, that's very, very interesting.
00:36:44.820
But it's interesting because we know that's the view of an interest.
00:36:52.980
Knowing where someone's coming from, what their interests are,
00:36:57.340
is important to understand the meaning of it and Unifor is hiding that.
00:37:01.180
And by the way, my friend David Akin, when this news came out a few weeks ago,
00:37:07.500
As far as I know, not a single Unifor journalist has requested a meeting to deal with this issue,
00:37:14.920
even though their constitution explicitly allows them to hold a meeting on this subject
00:37:19.440
if they simply have 25% of the members of a local union that can get a meeting on 60 days notice.
00:37:28.040
Tyler writes, George Orwell was required high school reading in the 80s.
00:37:32.340
Do they even read books in high school anymore?
00:37:39.700
It's all Pokemon this and, you know, transgender environmentalism for, you know,
00:37:53.320
And, yeah, what a depressing question to end on.
00:38:03.220
I went there for, I don't know, about a month, about 10 years ago now, even more.
00:38:10.960
Give me a minute to show you an anecdote because you asked me about Orwell.
00:38:14.060
So I land in, I think I flew into Shanghai or Beijing, I can't remember.
00:38:18.740
And I thought it was a snowstorm, but it was like 35 degrees.
00:38:30.440
So I thought they were going to stop me at the airport because when I applied for the
00:38:37.140
visa, I put journalists down, which was stupid.
00:38:39.820
If you're going to China, don't put journalists on your visa.
00:38:44.340
I was certain they were going to turn us around, but they let me in.
00:38:48.200
And the first thing I did, and the missus was frustrated.
00:38:54.740
I want to see what books I can find, just as a little test.
00:39:05.280
Most of the best sellers were how to make money on the internet, how to make money on
00:39:11.220
I said, okay, can I find Animal Farm by George Orwell?
00:39:26.320
I think this was in Shanghai or Beijing, one of the big cities.
00:39:29.640
I'm not saying this would be, but I was just testing for censorship.
00:39:34.680
I was, could I find, and I was trying to think, could I find books like On Liberty by
00:39:48.240
I checked, could I find some of the debates of the U.S. founding fathers, the Federalist
00:39:56.680
Like, I was looking for American revolutionary freedom writing.
00:40:03.560
You know, where I ran into trouble was where I started looking for religious books, like
00:40:07.680
Christian books, blah, blah, blah, or anything critical of Mao, blah, blah, blah, or anything
00:40:18.220
That's a Chinese spiritual sect that the communists hate.
00:40:22.820
But I want to tell you, and I'm not here saying the Chinese are a free country at all.
00:40:28.800
And I think many things have gotten worse in the 10 years since I've been there.
00:40:32.180
But it is a fact that the Chinese people, at least in this store, I think I probably went
00:40:37.640
to a couple stores, I don't remember exactly, could read 1984.
00:40:42.260
Now, I'm not saying that they were inspired by it and it animated them, but I'm saying
00:40:50.520
And I put it to you, I know you're going to think I'm crazy, that some of the internet
00:40:57.120
censorship we have observed in the last year, personalities being banned from
00:41:02.160
Facebook, banned from Twitter, banned from PayPal, banned from Patreon, banned, banned, banned,
00:41:08.340
is a more restrictive bandwidth on conversations in North America than I observed in that bookstore
00:41:21.100
Now, I'm not saying that things aren't worse now in China.
00:41:25.160
I don't know, I haven't been there, and I'm sure they are worse.
00:41:28.040
I'm just saying, don't think that Orwellianism is something alien anymore.
00:41:44.780
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,
