Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels, I got a question for you.
00:00:03.220 What can a 12-year-old decide on their own to do?
00:00:06.940 Now, you probably know the answer.
00:00:08.260 You can't buy liquor, you can't drive, you can't vote,
00:00:10.920 you can't buy firearms, you can't get married.
00:00:13.560 You can only fly with special arrangements and permission.
00:00:16.340 A 12-year-old pretty much can't make any decisions,
00:00:19.360 but a 12-year-old, according to the government,
00:00:22.840 can now make a decision without parental guidance
00:00:25.840 to consent to taking an experimental vaccine
00:00:30.060 for a virus that kills less than one in a million young people.
00:00:35.780 I'll tell you more about that,
00:00:37.000 and I'll tell you what the drug companies have to say.
00:00:38.840 That's ahead. It's a very disturbing story.

00:01:25.520 which means it doesn't, you know, keeps us independent.
00:01:29.180 We don't take a dime from true dough, so please consider it.
00:01:32.080 All right, here's today's podcast.
00:01:33.700 Tonight, why is the government pushing vaccine on children
00:01:52.500 without their parental consent?
00:01:55.020 It's May 21st, and this is the Ezra LeBand Show.
00:01:57.160 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:02:02.920 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:02:07.000 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it
00:02:10.500 is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:02:17.500 I saw this announcement from the Peel Regional Government.
00:02:21.740 That's a large municipality right next to Toronto.
00:02:24.540 So, please note, info around the consent for vaccination has been updated.
00:02:32.880 Youth age 12 plus can consent to immunization on their own behalf,
00:02:41.080 provided they understand the benefits and risks of vaccination.
00:02:45.060 As with any other medical appointment, we encourage family discussion.
00:02:48.780 So, 12-year-olds can now consent to the vaccination without their parents.
00:02:56.860 12-year-olds?
00:02:59.140 You know, some 12-year-olds are still playing with dolls.
00:03:03.980 12-year-olds can't make any decisions in life.
00:03:07.620 They can't drink.
00:03:08.620 They can't drive.
00:03:10.060 They can't buy cigarettes.
00:03:12.020 They can't vote.
00:03:13.140 They can't get married.
00:03:14.720 They can't buy guns.
00:03:15.780 They can't fly on an airplane by themselves without special arrangements.
00:03:19.580 They're children.
00:03:22.100 The law says that most contracts with children that young are non-binding.
00:03:27.460 They're invalid.
00:03:28.220 You've heard the old phrase, taking candy from a baby, right?
00:03:31.920 The point is that you can trick kids or manipulate them.
00:03:37.840 They're not mature enough, skeptical enough, wise enough, experienced enough to make grown-up decisions.
00:03:42.300 It's also an important reason why we don't let adults take advantage of children in other ways, too.
00:03:47.980 In fact, I don't know if you know this, but it's one of YouTube's strictest censorship rules.
00:03:54.800 It's about showing minor children on TV.
00:03:57.480 All sorts of special rules to do that.
00:03:59.720 And I agree with those rules, by the way.
00:04:01.400 Anything else is a form of child abuse, you know.
00:04:06.860 But apparently 12-year-olds can consent to whether or not they want to be jabbed in the arm
00:04:12.560 and injected with an experimental drug that has not yet been approved by the FDA
00:04:18.000 to meet an illness, COVID-19, that has less than a one in a million chance of killing a child.
00:04:26.180 That's not an exaggeration.
00:04:27.840 It really is less than one in a million.
00:04:31.400 COVID is an old person's disease, really, for people who are already very sick and who are 80 years and up.
00:04:38.520 Why are you jabbing children and doing so without consulting their families?
00:04:44.140 Why are you hiding it from their families like a secret?
00:04:46.620 Is it for the same reason why we protect children from making other life-altering decisions on their own?
00:04:54.500 Because someone else will try to pressure them into doing something against their own interests
00:04:58.080 and their parents would look out for them?
00:04:59.500 Is that why parental consent is not needed here?
00:05:02.780 Here, let me read to you again.
00:05:05.000 And I encourage you to go to this website or any of the vaccine websites for yourself.
00:05:08.620 This is the official homepage of one of the vaccines called Pfizer.
00:05:12.720 This is not some news commentary site.
00:05:14.800 This is them.
00:05:17.620 The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,
00:05:25.160 but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an emergency use authorization
00:05:31.660 to prevent COVID-19 for use in individuals 12 years of age and older.
00:05:38.100 The emergency use of this product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration
00:05:43.960 that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of the medical product
00:05:49.680 unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner.
00:05:54.500 So it's only because we're in an emergency state that this experiment is being allowed.
00:06:00.660 Do you think 12-year-olds are being told that?
00:06:05.560 Do you see that first sentence there?
00:06:08.120 It's not approved.
00:06:09.720 It's authorized.
00:06:10.660 The difference is authorized means they'll let you do it.
00:06:13.240 Approved means they don't know if it's safe yet.
00:06:15.920 Do you think 12-year-olds know the difference between approved and authorized?
00:06:18.620 Do you think 40-year-olds know the difference?
00:06:21.020 You know who does know the difference?
00:06:22.860 Anthony Fauci's staff, the Centers for Disease Control, the CDC, the FDA staff.
00:06:28.440 You'd think they'd all get vaccinated, right?
00:06:32.540 I mean, it's their job to get us vaccinated.
00:06:34.960 Surely they would, right?
00:06:38.200 Take a look at this.
00:06:39.660 What percentage of the employees in your institute, your center of your employees, has been vaccinated?
00:06:46.480 You know, I'm not 100% sure, Senator, but I think it's probably a little bit more than half, probably around 60%.
00:06:52.580 If I told you that half the waiters and cooks at any restaurant absolutely refuse to eat at that restaurant, you'd probably raise an eyebrow.
00:06:58.860 Why won't you eat at this restaurant where you're a waiter?
00:07:01.720 You won't eat here?
00:07:02.900 That's weird.
00:07:03.600 But what if half of the people at the Centers for Disease Control, CDC, and the FDA, the vaccine pushers, what if half of them refuse to take the jab?
00:07:12.320 What would that mean?
00:07:14.580 Do you think 12-year-olds would be impressed with that statistic?
00:07:17.580 I am.
00:07:19.560 And yet vaccinations have now become the purpose of the pandemic, not dealing with the virus itself.
00:07:26.080 It's burnt out.
00:07:27.920 In Texas, nearly 30 million people live there.
00:07:30.120 It's over.
00:07:30.460 They had no deaths the other day in a population of 30 million.
00:07:35.200 Infections are at the lowest in a year.
00:07:36.780 They're done.
00:07:37.880 Florida is similar.
00:07:38.800 Flu season's over.
00:07:40.640 There's herd immunity.
00:07:42.120 It's the summer.
00:07:42.880 Whatever.
00:07:43.300 I don't know.
00:07:43.740 But it's over.
00:07:44.580 And politically, it's over.
00:07:46.580 I showed you the charts, province by province, the other day.
00:07:49.920 Deaths are plummeting in Canada, too.
00:07:52.600 They did after Christmas.
00:07:54.200 Nothing to do with the vaccines.
00:07:55.800 The vaccines weren't available widely then.
00:07:58.160 Flu season is over.
00:07:59.560 The death rates have plummeted, down 70%, 80%, 90%, depending on the province.
00:08:03.480 But look at this.
00:08:05.480 Here's the government of Ontario, where deaths have plummeted.
00:08:08.940 Really, it's over.
00:08:10.280 But the enforcement is more brutal than ever, as you may know.
00:08:13.500 But look at this road map out.
00:08:15.900 It's based on how many people get vaccinations and on time.
00:08:23.220 No matter what, they're not lifting lockdown laws until 21 days pass and then another 21 days pass.
00:08:29.640 Why?
00:08:30.660 Where'd that number come from?
00:08:32.000 Just out of the air?
00:08:32.880 Who made that number up?
00:08:34.380 First, we heard two weeks to spread the curve, to stop the curve, whatever.
00:08:37.820 Now it's three weeks.
00:08:38.920 You just sort of did that.
00:08:41.740 By the way, what does time have to do with any of that?
00:08:44.880 But at the top of that infographic, you'll see vaccination rates.
00:08:48.540 If the pandemic is over, if the emergency is over, why are you still pushing experimental medicine that hasn't been approved yet
00:08:58.940 and was only allowed because we were in an emergency, if the emergency is over, why are you still doing that?
00:09:04.680 And why are you making use of that experimental medicine, the criteria for whether or not businesses are locked down, schools are locked down, people are locked down?
00:09:15.060 What happened to two weeks to flatten the curve?
00:09:17.000 The curve they were talking about was to make sure hospitals weren't overwhelmed with everyone getting sick at once.
00:09:23.560 So hospitals are not being overwhelmed.
00:09:26.020 They actually never were.
00:09:27.380 So why is the number of people taking the jab now the question in mind?
00:09:33.360 Is that the purpose of it?
00:09:35.940 Again, that's what the purpose of the pharmaceutical companies themselves are.
00:09:40.140 Moderna, one of the vaccine makers, this is their first drug they've ever been able to take to market.
00:09:45.420 They've never sold a drug before.
00:09:47.780 This is their jackpot.
00:09:49.880 They love this.
00:09:51.040 Okay, I understand their interest, but I'm not a Moderna shareholder, and neither, I hope, is Doug Ford or the other premiers who have this same approach.
00:10:01.960 So why are they pushing experimental vaccines for a pandemic that's over and making use of the vaccine, the criterion for whether or not we're out of the state of emergency?
00:10:14.060 And why are they pushing it on children?
00:10:17.900 That 12-year-old rule isn't just for Peel Region.
00:10:20.920 Actually, I see it all over Canada.
00:10:23.340 I see it popping up in Alberta, for example.
00:10:27.100 I see that Jason Kenney, the premier there, is also linking, ending the lockdown with the number of people who get vaccinated.
00:10:36.120 I thought this was about not getting sick.
00:10:38.340 I didn't think it was about buying and injecting an experimental drug.
00:10:43.580 Why would we do that if no one's getting sick, if no one's dying, or at least the numbers are infinitesimally small now?
00:10:48.900 Well, the emergency is over in real life, but the legal status of emergency is still in effect, so they can still authorize and sell the experimental drugs that half of Fauci's own staff won't take.
00:11:03.020 I can maybe guess why.
00:11:06.460 Well, what premiers Ford and Kenney and the rest of them are doing is pressuring people to get the jab in order to be free, including pressuring children.
00:11:14.320 But it's not mandatory, they say, yet.
00:11:18.400 But look at this propaganda piece from Bloomberg, one of the biggest news sources in the world.
00:11:23.500 What happens when vaccine incentives aren't enough?
00:11:26.400 Reluctant citizens can slow down herd immunity.
00:11:29.200 Despite abundant vaccines, compulsory shots are unpalatable, but may be necessary.
00:11:36.360 Just stop and think about that.
00:11:38.520 A virus so deadly that people just don't even want it.
00:11:42.840 Here's a clip from that story, a little segment.
00:11:46.480 It's about Hong Kong, one of the wealthier and smarter cities in the world.
00:11:50.400 A city that's actually part of China now, so they're a little closer to Wuhan.
00:11:54.400 I think people in Hong Kong know a thing or two about viruses.
00:11:58.920 I mean, they were ravaged by SARS.
00:12:01.600 They know a little bit about China, and they know a little bit about trust and politicians.
00:12:06.780 Here's what the story says about Hong Kong.
00:12:08.260 Despite a free and easily accessible program open to all adults since April, only just over 10% of the population of 7.5 million has had both injections, with low rates even among the oldest.
00:12:22.840 The most hesitancy is so high that only half of residents say they intend to get vaccinated.
00:12:29.420 Yeah.
00:12:30.640 Why is that?
00:12:32.200 I wonder.
00:12:33.940 Here's a headline from Pennsylvania.
00:12:36.080 That state went for Trump in 2016, went for Biden in 2020.
00:12:39.900 Democrat governor, big liberal cities like Philadelphia.
00:12:43.200 Look at this.
00:12:43.780 A referendum in a Democrat state.
00:12:48.080 And that referendum reigned in the governor's powers to call an emergency and to use an emergency to do things.
00:12:57.000 It limits the government's power in emergencies.
00:13:01.660 Limits the duration of that power, too.
00:13:05.060 That's voters' way of saying, you know what?
00:13:08.060 You misbehaved.
00:13:09.460 You're not the boss of us.
00:13:10.780 It's saying, what you've done this last year and a half, we don't buy it.
00:13:16.980 And saying that it's an emergency for 14 months straight doesn't make it a true emergency.
00:13:22.860 It means that they don't believe the establishment anymore.
00:13:25.720 This is a Democrat state.
00:13:27.200 Isn't that interesting?
00:13:28.920 The people, where they could, in a referendum, are speaking out, taking back, and talking back.
00:13:35.560 Wish we could do some of that up here.
00:13:37.260 Maybe they're sick of being shut down, locked down.
00:13:39.840 Maybe they're sick of being ruled by people they never voted for, they never met before, who clearly have other agendas.
00:13:46.000 Maybe they just want their lives back, their democracy back.
00:13:49.240 Maybe they'd prefer to live like Texans and Floridians, but they just don't want to move there.
00:13:54.960 But look at Oregon, another very Democrat state.
00:13:58.240 According to this, businesses that allow mask-free customers in now have to demand to see those customers' private vaccine papers.
00:14:08.700 So, the most invasive law in the country, being delegated to shopkeepers to demand private health information from private citizens.
00:14:17.480 I'm sorry, that's not liberal, that's fascist.
00:14:20.840 Here's the state's new rules.
00:14:22.120 I read that, I went online, I couldn't believe them, I wanted to see them for myself.
00:14:26.240 I just got to read this insane part here.
00:14:27.900 You can find this quickly on the internet, it's from Oregon.
00:14:29.680 Imagine they're still writing this in 2021.
00:14:39.960 All businesses, employers and faith institutions are required to continue to apply and enforce the mask, face covering and face shield guidance and physical distancing requirements in state COVID-19 guidance to all individuals unless a business, employer or faith institution
00:15:02.140 has a policy for checking for proof of vaccination status of individuals and requests proof of vaccination status from each individual and reviews each individual's proof of vaccination prior to entry or admission.
00:15:16.460 Got it.
00:15:18.020 Could you imagine any business or church demanding to know the private personal health information of someone walking into church?
00:15:28.860 That's not science, that's not medicine, that is authoritarianism, that is police state rule.
00:15:37.860 Oh, one more little vote to tell you about.
00:15:40.080 I told you there was one in Pennsylvania.
00:15:42.020 Here's a vote from Oregon.
00:15:45.340 Five counties in the state of Oregon, rural counties, Republican-leaning, freedom-leaning counties, they voted to leave Oregon.
00:15:54.540 They want to join Idaho.
00:15:56.000 Now, I don't know the constitutionality that I seem to recall in the United States having a bit of a civil war about secession, but these Oregonians, they don't want to leave America.
00:16:06.160 They just want to redraw the border to put them with Idaho, away from the Caraze people in the big city of Portland, and they just want to join the normal people in Idaho.
00:16:16.620 So, yeah, if they manage to do that, maybe we can have a vote up here in Canada too.
00:16:26.280 I'd like to join some sane place, because we're not it right now.
00:16:33.600 Stay with us for more.
00:16:34.660 Not even appointed an ambassador to Israel.
00:16:41.840 It's clear that Israel is not a priority for him.
00:16:44.720 He didn't speak to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the first four weeks he was in office, whereas even Obama, I think, did so in the first week, and Donald Trump did so on his first full day in office.
00:16:53.440 So it's clear that Biden had taken a step back from Israel, and he had also promised the Palestinians hundreds of millions of dollars in resumed aid funding that Trump had withheld.
00:17:04.680 Trump withheld it because the Palestinian Authority has been openly supporting terrorism.
00:17:09.280 But Biden restored some of that funding against American law, I believe, which prevents any taxpayer dollars from going to the Palestinian Authority while they are still supporting terrorists.
00:17:21.440 But Biden restored that without any preconditions, any concessions from the Palestinians, any guarantees.
00:17:27.200 He just said, I'm going to give you this funding.
00:17:29.100 I think that sent a signal that Palestinians could use violence and incitement with total impunity.
00:17:34.380 And I think it invited Hamas and other terrorist groups to try their luck.
00:17:38.040 That was the first mistake.
00:17:39.280 The second mistake was Biden's attempts to court the Iranian regime and entice them back to the table on a resumption of the nuclear deal.
00:17:48.640 The nuclear deal is part of the reason Hamas has all these rockets.
00:17:51.440 Iran received billions and billions of dollars from the United States, from assets it had held in the United States, sometimes pure cash on cargo planes in the middle of the night.
00:18:01.700 And they used it to fund their terrorist operations throughout the region.
00:18:05.260 Hamas is one of the recipients of Iran's largesse.
00:18:09.100 And one of the reasons Hamas has an arsenal is because of that support.
00:18:13.400 Going back to the nuclear deal would simply allow Hamas to rearm.
00:18:17.260 It also signaled that Biden was not going to be supportive of Israel.
00:18:21.720 And there are a number of other things.
00:18:25.260 This is really a third thing Biden did wrong that are that are related to that Iranian problem.
00:18:28.780 And that's this Biden downgraded relations with many Arab allies in the Middle East that had made peace with Israel.
00:18:36.460 He pulled out funding from Saudi Arabia, for example, in their war against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
00:18:43.420 He canceled a deal with the UAE to lower aluminum tariffs as a reward for doing a peace deal with Israel.
00:18:52.560 So Biden made it clear in many ways he was not going to be as supportive of the emerging Arab-Israeli alliance in the Middle East.
00:19:00.380 And so all of that was a provocation for Iran and its terrorist proxy, Hamas, to attempt to start something and see how far they could push it.
00:19:09.540 They really wanted to gain a strategic upper hand.
00:19:12.180 They wanted Israelis to have to live in the shadow of rocket fire.
00:19:15.760 And had it not been for the Iron Dome, had it not been for Netanyahu and the Israeli people's willingness to fight, that might have happened.
00:19:23.040 At the war's close, at the ceasefire, 72 percent of Israelis said they wanted the war to keep going because they wanted to get rid of Hamas, not because they have animus toward the Palestinians.
00:19:32.220 Hamas is terrible for Palestinian civilians.
00:19:34.460 But Israelis are tired of this.
00:19:35.900 They want Hamas to be gone.
00:19:36.980 Israel had to weigh the cost to its international relations, as well as the threat that perhaps Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon would start firing rockets if they did get close to getting rid of Hamas.
00:19:48.600 So Israel had to weigh several different factors and ultimately decided against a ground invasion.
00:19:53.020 That may come in the future.
00:19:55.180 For now, though, those three mistakes that Biden made, the Iran deal, the snubbing of Arab allies, and the pressure on Israel and rewarding of Palestinians, those are reversible.
00:20:05.840 He can reverse those.
00:20:07.040 But they are the reason this conflict happened in the first place.
00:20:09.960 He has to learn from that.
00:20:10.920 He has to go forward on a new path.
00:20:12.940 But if those things hadn't happened, I don't think we'd be looking at a war at all.
00:20:16.620 We had four years of quiet under Donald Trump because he was absolutely clear about his support for Israel.
00:20:23.300 And it was clear to anybody that if they started something with Israel, Trump was going to give Israel a free hand to defend itself.
00:20:28.280 That was not clear with Biden.
00:20:29.600 And that's why we ended up in a conflict.
00:20:31.300 Yeah, it's so true.
00:20:32.940 I mean, Israel is the first battle that, you know, Trump had cooled off.
00:20:39.680 I think others might be looming, whether it's Taiwan or other Iranian ambitions, frankly, even Russia.
00:20:49.100 I mean, things were—it's like Donald Trump put all these global conflicts in the freezer.
00:20:54.560 And they just sort of stopped.
00:20:57.680 And I think everyone now sees—is going to test how far they can go under Biden.
00:21:02.320 Let me note something from your story that I think is very important.
00:21:06.800 Not one Arab nation that recently made peace with Israel withdrew its support.
00:21:12.760 Now, sure, they gave rhetorical support for Palestinian people.
00:21:16.560 And you can understand that just—you can understand the rhetorical support.
00:21:22.620 But the deal between the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain and Sudan and Morocco, they maintained.
00:21:31.700 Those countries obviously have decided that a strong working relationship with Israel is more important than a momentary PR burst of siding with Hamas.
00:21:45.900 I find that incredibly encouraging.
00:21:50.300 Yes, that's a real victory for Israel here, that it didn't see any downgrading of relations among the Arab nations that had signed peace and normalization agreements with it.
00:21:59.820 There wasn't even a word of criticism from those nations.
00:22:03.040 There were a few protests in Bahrain.
00:22:05.820 I think a few dozen people showed up on the streets to protest.
00:22:08.360 But that was it.
00:22:09.060 So less than in Toronto.
00:22:11.800 Right.
00:22:11.980 The Western anti-Israel movement is much more vociferous than in Arab countries that understand fully what's at stake here.
00:22:20.320 They understand that Iran is backing Hamas and that Iran is a threat to them as well as to Israel.
00:22:25.460 And that's why these Arab states stayed on Israel's side.
00:22:29.500 More than that, the United Arab Emirates actually leaked that they had told Hamas that future infrastructure projects in Gaza were in jeopardy unless Hamas could stop inciting and starting these confrontations.
00:22:42.780 So not only were they not backing away from Israel, but the Arab states that signed the Abraham Accords actually tacitly sided with Israel.
00:22:53.120 So that's another victory that came out of this.
00:22:55.580 The new relationships Israel has forged with the Arab states of the region withstood this test of fire.
00:23:01.600 And Israel had to be careful.
00:23:02.900 They didn't want to put those states into a very difficult position by making the war much bigger or more damaging than it was.
00:23:09.260 And that's another victory. Israel avoided any massive civilian casualty events, any embarrassing mistakes, anything that would have drawn international condemnation.
00:23:17.460 I mean, the only possible exception was the bombing of the Jala Tower, where a number of international news organizations had their offices and there were no one there was no one hurt there.
00:23:29.600 Plus, they were sharing those offices apparently with Hamas.
00:23:32.360 So no one had any real sympathy for the Associated Press or Al Jazeera or any of these other groups.
00:23:37.780 So that was the only controversial attack.
00:23:40.240 But Israel felt no qualms about that and said, look, you know, Hamas cannot use journalists as human shields and journalists can't cover up for Hamas.
00:23:46.420 So those Arab alliances held.
00:23:50.560 And that's a very, very important and optimistic sign going forward.
00:23:53.520 Yeah. I got one last question for you.
00:23:55.420 I read a report. Now, it might just be gossip or a rumor that the success of the Iron Dome anti-missile, anti-rocket system, which was so spectacular to see.
00:24:05.400 I read that some of these new Arab allies of Israel, that there's talk that they might be provided with these weapon systems by Israel because they're of a defensive nature only.
00:24:20.060 So it's not like Israel is at risk of these being shot at Israel.
00:24:23.440 They're a purely it's like a bulletproof vest.
00:24:26.120 They're not an offensive weapon. It's just a defensive weapon.
00:24:29.160 Is there any truth to those reports that Israel might actually be helping to provide defense to its new Arab friends?
00:24:36.400 Yes. And that's a big positive for those Arab countries.
00:24:41.760 It is likely that Israel will sell the Iron Dome to Dubai, to other places that want to protect civilian population centers from rocket attacks.
00:24:51.440 And that's a very real risk. Think about the fact that the Houthi rebels have fired rockets at Saudi Arabia and that they've damaged oil fields in Saudi Arabia.
00:24:59.560 That caused a major problem for world energy markets.
00:25:04.880 And of course, it's a problem for Saudi Arabia. Now, Saudi Arabia hasn't signed a peace deal.
00:25:08.180 They might eventually. But one of the things that sweetens those deals is the opportunity to gain access to Israeli defense technology.
00:25:14.720 The Iron Dome is a great weapon to sell because it's purely defensive.
00:25:18.520 And in the off chance that Israel did get into a war with these Arab countries, the Iron Dome is not going to stop the Israeli Air Force.
00:25:24.400 But it will stop these rocket attacks from Iranian backed militias that don't have fighter jets, but do have drones, short range rockets, longer range missiles.
00:25:35.860 Israel has a variety of missile defenses that can shield these Arab countries.
00:25:40.320 And so now having demonstrated the efficacy of Iron Dome, that can take apart a rocket barrage of dozens of rockets at a time.
00:25:47.400 Maybe not more than that. We'll see. But they've showed that it can work against at least multiple rockets at the same time.
00:25:53.620 And that's a great thing for Israel's defense industry.
00:25:57.320 And it's a great thing for cementing ties between Israel and its Arab neighbors against Iran.
00:26:02.280 You know, I can't even believe it. I mean, who would have thought that we would be talking about Israel selling weapons to Arab countries to defend themselves against Islamic terror?
00:26:14.420 And all of this with this with this with the pouting of a U.S. president, how things have been rearranged.
00:26:21.740 And I think Donald Trump has not received enough credit for how he helped peace in the region.
00:26:28.280 If it were a Democrat who had done those, he'd have four Nobel Peace Prizes by now.
00:26:32.760 Joel, we got to let you go. But thank you for this wisdom.
00:26:34.680 I just want to give a shout out to your new e-book that's available on Amazon.
00:26:40.840 And it's got a clever title. It's The Zionist Conspiracy and How to Join It.
00:26:46.580 And it's a provocative title, but it's about the lessons from Jews and from Israel that anyone around the world can learn about building a successful society.
00:26:55.360 I think that's something that the, frankly, even Arab and Muslim jurisdictions can learn from Gaza itself.
00:27:02.020 Give us 30 seconds of a refresher on your book, The Zionist Conspiracy.
00:27:06.640 Well, the great success of Zionism is that to achieve their goal, which was self-determination in the land of Israel,
00:27:12.400 they were willing to change the Jewish people themselves or ourselves.
00:27:16.680 They prepared their constituents for statehood, developing a language, developing self-governing institutions,
00:27:24.680 developing new traditions of the military and so forth.
00:27:28.780 And they prepared for independence and for success.
00:27:32.220 And the message of the book is that's something anyone can learn from.
00:27:35.380 That's something other national movements can learn from.
00:27:37.280 That's something civil rights movements can learn from.
00:27:39.040 And that's something individuals can learn from.
00:27:40.680 But sometimes to achieve a goal, you have to be willing to transform yourself as well.
00:27:44.300 And Israel is an example, perhaps the best example, of success in doing that.
00:27:50.840 So, Paul, great to see you.
00:27:52.140 As always, folks, if you want that book, we'll have the Amazon link under this video.
00:27:57.940 Joel, we'll talk to you again soon.
00:27:59.120 Thanks for your time.
00:28:00.520 Thank you.
00:28:01.140 All right.
00:28:01.600 There you have it.
00:28:02.140 Stay with me.
00:28:02.560 Go ahead.
00:28:14.300 Hey, welcome back on my show last night.
00:28:16.520 Paul writes, people want to be saved, even if it's from themselves.
00:28:21.260 Yeah.
00:28:22.180 You know, I want to tell you a personal story.
00:28:26.720 You know, I take my dog for a walk.
00:28:29.680 I know I'm talking about that too much.
00:28:30.860 But I live in a liberal city on a pretty liberal street.
00:28:34.160 I don't talk politics to my neighbors.
00:28:36.800 Some of them know who I am and what I do.
00:28:38.380 But I just don't want to bring it up because I don't need the fights, right?
00:28:41.560 I'm in a liberal city.
00:28:42.260 What do I do?
00:28:42.680 I'm behind enemy lines politically.
00:28:45.800 And I've met people on the street and they're talking about masks and they're wearing masks.
00:28:51.820 And I don't get into it.
00:28:53.580 I'm not looking to pick a fight.
00:28:56.800 Across my street, and I'm not going to describe the family, but let me just call them Torontonian.
00:29:02.280 I see a no more lockdown sign from Randy Hillier on my liberal street in my liberal neighborhood
00:29:11.300 from a family that's pretty liberal and very apolitical.
00:29:17.080 I think people are getting a little bit sick of being saved by the Teresa Tams and the Doug
00:29:22.980 Fords and the Jason Kennys in this world.
00:29:25.080 I couldn't believe it.
00:29:26.060 In fact, I just saw, oh, this is one of those signs for, you know, college pro painters or,
00:29:30.420 you know, tradesmen sometimes put their sign up while they're temporarily working.
00:29:34.440 I didn't even look at it because I assumed that's what it was.
00:29:38.420 That was an end the lockdown sign on my street.
00:29:42.060 People are getting tired of this.
00:29:45.240 Corey writes, Lincoln is doing very well.
00:29:47.660 Lad's got a bright future.
00:29:48.840 I like Lincoln.
00:29:49.760 He's done great.
00:29:50.740 I sort of think he just wants to stay over there for good because, I mean, listen,
00:29:55.100 if you had the choice between living in London, one of the great cities of all time,
00:29:59.760 that's getting great again now that it's out of its lockdown, you know, it's a little
00:30:03.580 bit exotic, but still familiar enough.
00:30:06.440 A young guy in a wonderful city, pubs are open, gyms are open, and he gets to talk about
00:30:12.000 interesting things or coming back to dreary, scoldy Toronto, which would you rather do if
00:30:18.760 you were a young lad?
00:30:19.900 Well, alas, his working trip must come to an end.
00:30:22.940 So he's coming back to Canada.
00:30:24.040 He's going to have to quarantine for a bit too.
00:30:25.320 But I'm sure he had the trip of a lifetime, and we'll be sure to interview him when he's
00:30:29.220 out of quarantine and back here.
00:30:30.520 Anyway, so listen, thank you for your kind words for Lincoln.
00:30:35.480 We have so many young reporters and behind-the-scenes staff, too.
00:30:40.140 Rebel News, I think we've got 30 or 31 people now, which is twice as many as work for McLean's
00:30:46.140 magazine.
00:30:46.600 We have to stop thinking about ourselves as tiny because I don't think we're tiny anymore.
00:30:51.340 And especially on the stories these days that matter, the lockdown, the pandemic, the vaccination,
00:30:59.520 pseudoscience, I think we're probably the most important voice in Canada, certainly covering
00:31:04.640 lockdowns.
00:31:05.600 I don't know.
00:31:05.840 That's my opinion.
00:31:06.460 What's yours?
00:31:07.420 That's it for today.
00:31:09.040 Until Monday, when we have a special show.
00:31:11.640 On behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night, and
00:31:15.380 keep fighting for freedom.
00:31:16.180 We'll see you next time.
