The New York Times hires a racist, but the right kind of racist, so she can stay. I'll show you details in a moment, but first let me say something difficult: I don't think it should be against the law to hire racist people or sexist people, or to hire people with odious views even those who say that police should be murdered.

00:00:00.000 Tonight, the New York Times hires a racist, but the right kind of racist so she can stay. 1.00
00:00:05.380 It's August 6th, and you're watching The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:14.020 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:17.780 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:21.520 You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.
00:00:24.500 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so. 0.89
00:00:35.120 The New York Times just hired the most prolific racist imaginable. 0.54
00:00:39.620 I'm serious. It's like they just hired the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. 0.84
00:00:44.840 Dozens, probably hundreds of hateful, racist, sexist comments published.
00:00:49.480 Just amazing, and they're standing by their decision.
00:00:52.120 I'll show you details in a moment, but first let me say something difficult.
00:00:56.240 I don't think it should be against the law to hire racist people or sexist people or to hire people with odious views,
00:01:03.320 even those who say that police should be murdered.
00:01:06.660 Obviously, there's a line. If someone is literally uttering a real death threat, that's a crime,
00:01:11.640 but we don't want to live in a country where you are not allowed to earn a living just because you're odious.
00:01:16.240 It's part of freedom, and it also goes to the definition of what is odious.
00:01:21.380 It's a matter of political opinion. Best let ordinary people decide in their own lives.
00:01:25.900 More than that, let people fly their real colors, not to hide who they really are.
00:01:29.280 Hopefully, the general standards of the community are healthy enough to marginalize a bad person.
00:01:34.200 No need to call in the law.
00:01:37.000 But look at this.
00:01:37.660 This woman's name is Sarah Jong.
00:01:41.040 She is a young Korean-American.
00:01:42.860 She actually was born in Korea and moved to America.
00:01:46.720 And she was just hired to join the New York Times editorial board.
00:01:49.860 That is the political cockpit flying the whole plane.
00:01:53.220 That sets the tone, sets the agenda for the newspaper,
00:01:56.160 what editorial direction the newspaper will be on any given issue.
00:01:59.300 It's a very influential newspaper, of course, the New York Times.
00:02:02.420 Many other junior journalists in the country and around the world
00:02:07.340 patter themselves out for the New York Times.
00:02:09.840 So this isn't just some cog in the machine.
00:02:12.220 This is a boss, editorially speaking.
00:02:16.260 So who is Sarah Jong?
00:02:18.060 Well, like I say, she's Korean from South Korea, of course. 0.55
00:02:21.280 North Korea is still a prison from which no one may escape. 0.98
00:02:24.600 Donald Trump is trying to fix that, but it's an ongoing process.
00:02:27.280 Now, Koreans are wonderful people.
00:02:29.100 The northern half of the peninsula is simply a giant prison.
00:02:33.640 The South kept free of the cost of tens of thousands of deaths and lives
00:02:39.380 of American and Canadian soldiers and other allies, too.
00:02:44.060 It's a miracle.
00:02:44.840 I mean, it's Seoul, Korea.
00:02:45.940 It's an amazing city to behold out of the ashes.
00:02:50.060 A spectacular economic and political and scientific success.
00:02:54.680 World-class company.
00:02:55.820 Samsung, just name one.
00:02:57.020 You've heard of Samsung.
00:02:57.700 Hyundai, LG, the TV maker, just to name a few.
00:03:02.700 But I say again, they are only free because the West, especially the United States, Canada,
00:03:07.260 too, Australia, New Zealand, too, but mainly America, paid in blood and treasure to keep 0.56
00:03:13.080 the South free.
00:03:14.620 37,000 Americans died in the Korean War.
00:03:18.960 And in fact, it was just in the last week or so that the remains of some fallen U.S. soldiers
00:03:25.860 that had been kept by the dictatorship of the North for more than 60 years were finally
00:03:30.440 coming home.
00:03:31.740 I'll come back to that sacrifice a bit later.
00:03:35.000 Koreans, industrious, smart, outstanding.
00:03:37.800 I love Koreans.
00:03:39.420 They're so successful in South Korea itself and in Canada and America, as most Asian immigrants
00:03:45.460 are, I mean, let's just speak candidly.
00:03:47.540 I know this is stereotyping, but it's positive stereotyping.
00:03:50.060 Asians are great.
00:03:51.600 Here's an official chart by the U.S. census.
00:03:54.760 It's from the last census in the U.S. a couple of years ago.
00:03:57.060 It shows income by race.
00:03:58.460 It's sort of politically incorrect to do this.
00:04:00.120 But look at this.
00:04:01.060 See that line at the top there, that red line?
00:04:02.800 That's Asians. 1.00
00:04:03.560 This is a U.S. government chart.
00:04:05.460 Asians by far are the most successful, prosperous people in America.
00:04:10.680 Look at that average income there.
00:04:13.420 And remember, that's in U.S. dollars, so tack on 25% or whatever for the exchange rate.
00:04:18.340 The average Asian American makes 100 grand a year.
00:04:22.020 That is 25% more than the average white American.
00:04:27.840 The average Asian American, I'm just quoting from the chart here, folks, makes literally
00:04:32.800 more than double what the average U.S. black makes.
00:04:38.660 Just quoting stats here, folks.
00:04:41.540 Now, for now, I'm not interested in exploring why these differences are by race.
00:04:45.000 I'm just saying it just is.
00:04:46.940 And Sarah Jiang herself is living the dream.
00:04:50.560 She's free.
00:04:51.360 She's happy.
00:04:52.580 She's not under threat in North Korea.
00:04:54.260 She's not starving like North Koreans are. 0.76
00:04:56.820 She's welcome to reach any height in America. 0.97
00:04:59.300 If she's hired by the New York Times, that's really a 1%er job.
00:05:02.840 I have no idea how much she's being paid, but it's got to be industry leading. 0.65
00:05:06.040 But wow, is she angry at America and Americans, and to be more precise, at white people and
00:05:16.980 at men and at white American men in uniform, the very kind of people who kept South Korea 0.99
00:05:24.980 free by giving up their own lives.
00:05:26.580 Look at some of her comments she's made over the years.
00:05:29.800 Just vomiting up such deep hatred.
00:05:32.680 I think it's fair to call it diabolical.
00:05:35.240 Let's start with her hatred for police.
00:05:39.400 Here's one.
00:05:39.760 When homeless people can beat cops senseless and suffer nary a repercussion, let's then 1.00
00:05:47.200 talk about accountability going both ways.
00:05:50.100 That's from August 2015.
00:05:52.700 Really?
00:05:53.300 That's a little weird.
00:05:54.060 How about this one?
00:05:56.140 The problem is not the complexity of the internet or computers. 1.00
00:05:59.320 The problem is that cops are assholes. 1.00
00:06:02.160 November 2015. 1.00
00:06:03.460 Or this one.
00:06:03.920 Cops will get you for anything, unless it's rape. 1.00
00:06:09.560 August 2014.
00:06:11.520 Or this one here.
00:06:13.160 This is from August also, 2014. 0.99
00:06:15.880 Cops were shit, even before broken windows policing. 0.99
00:06:19.760 Sorry to swear. 1.00
00:06:20.520 Now, is that too nuanced?
00:06:21.780 Here.
00:06:22.440 How about this one?
00:06:23.700 I'm sorry I'm going to swear. 1.00
00:06:25.940 Fuck the police! 1.00
00:06:27.480 That's what we blurred there. 1.00
00:06:28.580 I'm sorry I said the word.
00:06:29.660 It's the F word we blurred.
00:06:31.200 We don't need to blur it.
00:06:32.340 I'll just tell you the word. 0.59
00:06:33.100 It's F-U-C-K, the police.
00:06:35.240 Again and again.
00:06:36.180 You'll notice it's a year later.
00:06:37.280 Like, she's still giving her.
00:06:38.500 I could go on.
00:06:39.340 You get the picture here.
00:06:40.200 I don't need to swear more.
00:06:41.360 I'm just swearing because I want to show you what she says about the police.
00:06:44.720 Again and again.
00:06:45.680 Not once.
00:06:46.320 Not once.
00:06:47.100 But again and again.
00:06:48.520 But it's not just the police.
00:06:49.860 It's men in general.
00:06:52.920 Here's a weird one. 0.99
00:06:54.900 How can you kill all the men without a good vampy lipstick? 1.00
00:06:59.880 What? 0.99
00:07:00.420 Is that a joke?
00:07:01.240 Look, that January 2014.
00:07:03.100 Here, let me read another one. 1.00
00:07:05.140 Kill more men. 0.99
00:07:07.840 That's from March 2014. 0.99
00:07:09.360 Okay.
00:07:09.880 Yeah.
00:07:10.180 All right.
00:07:10.680 There you go.
00:07:11.440 But let's get right to the racism.
00:07:13.140 Okay?
00:07:13.940 There's going to be more swears here. 1.00
00:07:15.340 But hey, if it's good enough for the New York Times, it should be good enough for all of us.
00:07:19.300 Right?
00:07:19.560 Here, let me read the next one.
00:07:21.100 I'm sorry.
00:07:21.420 I'm going to swear here. 1.00
00:07:22.180 Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants. 1.00
00:07:29.940 Oh, okay. 1.00
00:07:33.660 Here's another one. 0.97
00:07:34.280 Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins? 1.00
00:07:43.600 Huh? 0.96
00:07:43.880 That's just weird.
00:07:45.360 That's just weird.
00:07:46.140 Here's one.
00:07:46.940 It's pretty simple. 0.99
00:07:48.560 Cancel white people. 0.99
00:07:51.520 Oh, okay. 1.00
00:07:53.740 Here's another one.
00:07:55.580 Oh, man. 0.99
00:07:56.340 It's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men. 0.96
00:08:01.940 You'll notice the dates here. 0.95
00:08:03.120 Like, this is over years. 0.95
00:08:06.180 Yeah, cruel to old white men, like the white man who died to keep Korea free. 0.94
00:08:12.820 Here's another one. 0.98
00:08:13.620 I dare you to get on Wikipedia and play things white people can definitely take credit for.
00:08:20.960 It's really weird.
00:08:23.440 Hmm.
00:08:24.620 Seriously, just swap in any other group. 0.99
00:08:26.340 Koreans, blacks, gays, whatever, for that sentence. 0.98
00:08:28.740 Okay, one more. 0.99
00:08:30.000 There's a hundred of these. 1.00
00:08:31.380 I don't want to grow shit. 0.99
00:08:32.200 I know I've been swearing a lot. 0.99
00:08:33.420 I'm just reading what you said.
00:08:34.480 Here's just one last one. 1.00
00:08:36.520 Number one, white men are bullshit. 1.00
00:08:38.060 Number two, no one cares about women. 1.00
00:08:39.640 Number three, you can threaten anyone on the internet except cops.
00:08:43.620 So there we get it right there.
00:08:45.120 We get the whites, we get the women, the cops. 1.00
00:08:47.200 What a weirdo. 1.00
00:08:48.900 What a weirdo. 1.00
00:08:49.760 What a freak. 0.99
00:08:50.900 And I read a lot of the dates so you saw this wasn't just like one bad night.
00:08:54.760 This was over the course of years. 1.00
00:08:57.740 What a fool. 1.00
00:08:59.300 What a bigot. 1.00
00:09:00.160 What a racist. 1.00
00:09:00.920 What a sexist. 1.00
00:09:02.040 What a cop hater. 0.73
00:09:02.840 What do you got against cops?
00:09:04.160 What an inarticulate hater, though.
00:09:06.040 I mean, it's bad enough to be this bigoted, but surely even a bigot has to be able to communicate
00:09:10.560 effectively and persuasively and smartly to work for the New York Times.
00:09:14.540 Surely they vetted her just a bit, read her work just a bit before hiring her.
00:09:20.140 Again, not for some obscure position in the paper, but for their flagship, the editorial
00:09:24.400 board.
00:09:24.940 Yeah.
00:09:25.580 And they're fine with it.
00:09:26.800 You see, it was just rhetoric.
00:09:28.940 She was doing it ironically.
00:09:31.760 Seriously, here's the statement the New York Times put out when a few people, a few hundred
00:09:35.200 people complained.
00:09:35.920 Take a look.
00:09:36.780 I'll skip to the best part in the middle there.
00:09:39.340 Her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject
00:09:43.840 of frequent online harassment.
00:09:46.500 For a period of time, she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her
00:09:51.220 harassers.
00:09:52.900 She regretted.
00:09:54.180 Sure.
00:09:54.720 Yeah.
00:09:54.980 Yeah.
00:09:55.140 That's the ticket there.
00:09:56.240 Um, guys, she didn't mean it.
00:09:58.160 She was just imitating that style because that's what you do.
00:10:03.100 You attack cops because someone was mean to you as a young Asian woman.
00:10:08.760 And you do that as an ironic joke for three years, hundreds of these over a vast period
00:10:18.540 of time.
00:10:18.880 But hey, guys, it was all just a joke.
00:10:21.020 Like, you know, people do impressions sometimes.
00:10:23.500 This wasn't the real her.
00:10:25.640 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:27.920 Earlier, I mentioned the 37,000 Americans who died keeping South Korea free.
00:10:32.900 Without whom Korea would not be a country and Sarah Jong would be in a prison camp, not in 0.95
00:10:40.320 America.
00:10:40.880 Try insulting the cops if you live in North Korea. 1.00
00:10:44.100 Now, the U.S. government publishes the names of every single person who died in the Korean
00:10:51.260 War.
00:10:51.440 They broke it down by state, by name.
00:10:54.240 You can see we're going through it here.
00:10:55.820 This is the list of soldiers just from New York State who died keeping Sarah Jong's family
00:11:04.300 free.
00:11:04.720 There are 2,373 names on the list.
00:11:10.020 Clyde Anderson, Milton Anderson, Richard Anderson, Charles Andrews, George Andrews, Robert Andrews,
00:11:15.460 Victorio Angelini, George Engels, Vito Angana.
00:11:21.760 There's 2,373 of these New York families who lost a brother or a father or a son.
00:11:29.700 2,373 lives.
00:11:32.700 Family lines, in fact, that were snuffed out to let her family have a life.
00:11:38.960 Look at the names.
00:11:40.520 Most of them sound white names.
00:11:42.420 Ralph, Baker, Roland, Baker, Sidney, Baker, Walter, Baker.
00:11:47.060 All of them are male.
00:11:49.460 All of them wore uniforms.
00:11:53.000 All of them died for Sarah Jong. 0.99
00:11:57.660 She's a disgrace. 1.00
00:11:58.760 The New York Times is a disgrace for hiring her and a bigger disgrace for keeping her. 0.98
00:12:03.000 I tell you this, and I ask you to remember this.
00:12:05.020 Whenever the New York Times or CNN or their Canadian wannabes lecture you about racism
00:12:10.700 or sexism or mean tweets or anything else, when they scold you and name-call you and tell
00:12:16.360 you to shut up, when they call you angry, remember who they are.
00:12:22.520 Remember who they are.
00:12:25.060 Stay with us for more on this with Joel Pollack.
00:12:27.160 And joining us now to talk about Sarah Jong, what it means for the racism industry and
00:12:50.880 the credibility of the media party itself is our friend Joel Pollack, senior editor-at-large
00:12:55.140 at Breitbart.com.
00:12:56.180 Joel, great to see you again.
00:12:58.040 Good to be with you.
00:12:58.700 You know, Joel, there's some funny things about this.
00:13:01.660 I mean, Sarah Jong, she, your colleague Alan Bokhari at Breitbart.com dug up a ton of funny
00:13:09.200 tweets where Sarah Jong attacks by name so many of her New York Times colleagues.
00:13:17.780 I mean, Nick Christophe, David Brooks, Tom Friedman.
00:13:22.320 And she says, you know, I hate the New York Times. 0.71
00:13:25.240 I want to burn it down. 0.72
00:13:26.500 That's funny. 0.83
00:13:28.040 But it's not serious.
00:13:32.180 What's serious is her off-the-hook anti-police extremism, anti-white racism, and anti-male 0.98
00:13:39.660 just kookiness.
00:13:41.040 Why would the New York Times stand firm with her?
00:13:44.580 Why wouldn't they say, oh, we didn't know about this.
00:13:48.260 She's not just to our taste?
00:13:49.820 Well, I think there are two explanations.
00:13:53.980 To be charitable to her, she is a very good writer, as far as I know.
00:13:59.620 I'm not an expert on the tech world.
00:14:01.860 But I did follow her before this.
00:14:04.220 I did not notice her offensive tweets, mostly because I wasn't paying that close attention.
00:14:09.300 But when somebody says something interesting, you follow them.
00:14:13.080 And so I found some of what she was writing interesting and sometimes amusing.
00:14:17.420 She posted some funny videos.
00:14:19.260 So I was following her because I found her interesting and intelligent.
00:14:23.800 And that seems to be the consensus of most people who know her work outside of the context
00:14:28.720 of Twitter.
00:14:29.420 So the New York Times may simply want someone with her knowledge on their editorial board. 0.62
00:14:35.180 That could be one explanation.
00:14:36.600 She's just that good.
00:14:37.740 However, they don't really extend the same courtesy to other people.
00:14:42.780 And I think what we're seeing is a pattern, not just at New York Times, but at other media
00:14:47.740 outlets like NBC.
00:14:49.680 If you are a racist or a homophobic person, you have a certain degree of immunity.
00:14:57.420 First of all, if you have the right politics, and Sarah John was certainly on the left, anti-Trunk,
00:15:02.980 anti-conservative, and all of that.
00:15:04.300 And you also enjoy immunity if you are part of a protected class yourself, particularly
00:15:11.020 women, and particularly women of color. 0.91
00:15:13.920 So she is less likely to be booted.
00:15:17.160 They do not want to see to be victimizing her for her views, never mind that she victimized 0.96
00:15:23.500 other people for their race.
00:15:24.840 They're just not as prepared to punish people by the same standard.
00:15:29.580 That's why Joy Reid, for example, is still at NBC, even though people have unearthed her 0.57
00:15:35.440 homophobic blogs and statements going back years and years and years.
00:15:40.360 Normally, they would not tolerate that.
00:15:42.300 In fact, I think there have been major journalistic figures booted from major news networks.
00:15:49.000 I think CNN kicked out Howard Kurtz because of something he was perceived to have said that
00:15:53.040 was homophobic, although I don't think it was in the end.
00:15:55.480 But, you know, this is not the kind of protection that other people enjoy.
00:15:59.400 So that's why she's at the Times.
00:16:01.840 And I have to say, I'm glad she's at the Times, because I think she brings out into the
00:16:07.480 open the kind of double standard that the Times would prefer to conceal.
00:16:11.080 And the next time you read a New York Times editorial, you now know that it was co-produced
00:16:17.200 by a known racist, an open racist, whom the Times defended and whose racism the Times justified
00:16:24.000 by saying she had been victimized on Twitter.
00:16:26.500 You know, boo-hoo. 0.99
00:16:27.300 Who has not been victimized on Twitter?
00:16:30.460 You know, so I think it actually helps those of us who would like the Times to be taken less
00:16:35.540 seriously to have someone like that on the editorial board.
00:16:38.220 Hmm. That's a good point. But I put it to you that while this has been a spectacle for
00:16:43.800 the insider political class, you and I, I would put in that category, people who follow the
00:16:48.680 stories of media personalities, I put it to you that 95 percent, maybe 99 percent of people
00:16:56.740 in Canada and the United States, when they read a news story, they don't look at the byline.
00:17:01.000 They don't know who wrote it.
00:17:02.860 They just read it. And I think that knowing this once secret flaw of Sarah Jean, people
00:17:11.880 like you and me will say, ah, ha ha.
00:17:13.700 Well, we know the New York Times doesn't mean it.
00:17:15.420 But I think most people, they will not be aware of this and they will just be, instead
00:17:21.260 of her vomiting out these slurs, she will write this exquisitely well-written,
00:17:27.260 publishable version of her slurs. So she was anti-male, anti-white, anti-police. She's not
00:17:34.340 going to swear anymore. She'll write beautiful, beautiful pieces attacking men and police and 0.65
00:17:40.280 whites. And the readers won't know this backstory that you and I and the insiders know.
00:17:44.720 Well, that's why we have alternative outlets like yours and mine to remind them.
00:17:50.280 And I should also say that there are some people who work in the editorial department of the New
00:17:54.940 York Times, either on the editorial board or on the op-ed page, who have been absolutely
00:18:00.960 disgraceful in their conduct towards those of us who support Donald Trump or who were at least
00:18:07.700 willing to tolerate Donald Trump. Let's just be more inclusive in our description of their targets.
00:18:14.020 I mean, they attacked me, some of them, for working with individuals whom they perceived
00:18:20.560 to be bigoted in one way or another. I mean, they came after me because Milo once worked for
00:18:28.720 Breitbart. They can never do that again because now that they have accepted Sarah Jung, whose explicit
00:18:35.520 overt racism is not a matter of debate. It's out there for everyone to see. Now that they have done
00:18:40.800 that and they haven't resigned, these individuals, they can never do that again. The New York Times
00:18:46.240 can never launch that kind of offensive attack where they accuse others of racism, where they
00:18:51.920 accuse others of tolerating bigotry. They can never do that again. And if they try, they're going to get
00:18:58.440 hit with this every single time. It really blunts their offensive capability in the battle of ideas.
00:19:05.440 I think that they are going to have to get off their high horse and the people who are going to
00:19:10.820 knock them off if they don't are you and me. Well, you're right that the alternative media will hold
00:19:16.820 them to account. But, you know, and Breitbart especially, you guys are very big and strong and
00:19:22.960 we were, you know, we're growing in our own way. We're about to hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube
00:19:27.420 probably in the next two weeks. It's pretty exciting. But that is a tiny sliver of a fraction
00:19:32.480 of their reach. I'm not being pessimistic or self-effacing. I'm just saying they absolutely
00:19:40.240 will continue to use identity politics smears in the future and they will just steam ahead and
00:19:47.960 little toy boats like ours. They've got the mighty battleship. I'm not being condescending to
00:19:54.440 Breitbart. You guys are one of the mightiest, but it's still extremely frustrating, the hypocrisy. 0.95
00:19:59.280 What I say to people is, for yourself, know that you can never trust the mainstream media
00:20:04.800 again. Last point to you, Joel. Is there something about, I mean, I just did my monologue a moment
00:20:11.200 ago on this. I said of all the groups in America, you know, black Americans, at least their ancestors,
00:20:17.540 lived through slavery. That's a real thing. Jim Crow laws. That was a real thing. 0.65
00:20:24.440 It is a real fact that African Americans, to this day, have an economic disadvantage in America
00:20:31.100 for whatever reasons. But Korean Americans are at the top echelons of success, educationally,
00:20:40.000 economically. They are more successful than white Americans. I know I'm just tacking on a little 0.95
00:20:48.460 coda here. But to me, there's something especially gross about someone playing the race card who is
00:20:54.840 from a privileged background, economically, demographically successful, a country saved
00:21:01.820 with the blood of 37,000 Americans in the Korean War. To me, that's the chutzpah here. She's not hard
00:21:08.600 done by. If you have a hard-bitten black power activist who talks about, you know, what was Malcolm X's
00:21:15.020 slogan? X stands for X, X smoker, X drinker, X Christian, X slave. He's got a story to tell 0.93
00:21:21.320 that can justify his grievance. What the hell grievance does a, you know, does a one-percenter
00:21:26.720 young Korean woman have in America? I know I'm tacking this question on, but is there something
00:21:32.220 about the fact that she is not a victim in any measure that makes this even grosser?
00:21:36.860 Well, not only is she not a victim, but she's a naturalized U.S. citizen. And she seems to regard
00:21:46.200 a large chunk of her countrymen with disrespect. I mean, why would you want to join a country where
00:21:55.280 the majority of the population were these horrible people? Yeah. She actually did tweet something about
00:22:01.060 that, which I thought was not funny and just snarky and rude about the pros and cons of being
00:22:05.860 in the United States, being a United States citizen. You know, on the con side, there was
00:22:13.660 something bad about America. And on the pro side, there was, it's not next to North Korea.
00:22:17.420 I mean, I think she is what Ruth Weiss called the inverse of a hypocrite. She refuses to preach what 0.94
00:22:26.840 she practices in the sense that she actually probably likes the United States. She's probably in her
00:22:32.420 personal relations with other people, tolerant and enlightened and engaging. She certainly
00:22:37.400 can come across that way in some of her writing. But there's this mode of relating to
00:22:43.180 the idea of America or the idea of white people, whatever that is, that is encouraged on our campuses,
00:22:54.060 in our media, and in the liberal monoculture that is Silicon Valley. And I think she's playing to that
00:22:59.500 audience. I think she's trying to show her peers how smart she is. And this is the way they do it. 0.94
00:23:05.100 And I've heard other people do the same thing. People who are otherwise tolerant and intelligent
00:23:08.760 say absolutely racist, stereotyping things. And I think that this is a wake-up call for her. I'm not
00:23:18.280 sure she deserved to get this appointment, especially after she trashed the New York Times. 1.00
00:23:23.840 I think that it seems unjust and unfair for her to have these kinds of opportunities where other
00:23:29.500 people who don't slam their fellow Americans in the same way don't have these kinds of
00:23:34.440 opportunities. But again, it's the New York Times. I think it helps conservative critics of the Times.
00:23:39.700 And so I say good luck to her, good luck to the Times, and good luck to her.
00:23:43.340 Yeah. You know what? I learn something from you every time, Joel. She doesn't preach what
00:23:48.040 she practices in her life. She clearly loves America, came to America, is benefiting from
00:23:54.100 America, is a model citizen in many ways I would imagine in America. But to be in with the cool kids,
00:24:01.240 she's got to trash America and the very people who saved her country. It's so perverse. It's great to
00:24:07.900 talk to you, Joel. Thanks for spending so much time and letting me throw a few extra questions at you today.
00:24:11.900 Nice to see you. Yeah. All right. There you have it. Joel Pollack, one of the smartest guys around.
00:24:16.880 He's the senior editor-at-large at Breitbart.com. Stay with us. More ahead of The Rebel.
00:24:35.060 Welcome back. Well, last week, my own attention was on the United Kingdom, where our little company,
00:24:40.920 the rebel, although it's based here in Canada, was taking a leadership role in helping to free
00:24:46.400 Tommy Robinson, a political prisoner from the United Kingdom. And I don't say political prisoner
00:24:50.880 lightly. The Court of Appeal of the United Kingdom itself, throughout every single procedural flaw
00:24:58.240 that sent Tommy Robinson to prison. So that's where my attention was overseas.
00:25:02.760 But back here in Canada, the rebel was doing incredibly important ground-breaking work on one
00:25:11.240 of the top stories in this country that has been deliberately ignored, or worse, spun by the state
00:25:18.760 broadcaster. I'm talking about our own handling of mass Muslim migration, especially Trudeau's Syrian
00:25:27.760 refugees who came here in a flood in late 2015, 2016. Sheila Gunn-Reed has led the charge on,
00:25:36.680 we've set up a special website for it called refugeeinvestigation.com. Sheila joins us now via
00:25:43.940 Skype. Sheila, great to see you again. Hey, boss. Thanks for having me.
00:25:47.640 Well, congratulations on your story. I was rather distracted. I was overseas.
00:25:50.640 But you were just setting things on fire. Hundreds of thousands of views amongst all your videos
00:25:56.700 truly captured the attention of Canadians. I think it's because you're the first journalist
00:26:02.700 to report on this stuff. Why don't you tell us some of the facts of what you found about the hotels
00:26:07.640 in which Trudeau jammed these culturally misfit, linguistically misfit, hygienically misfit Syrian 0.98
00:26:17.940 migrants of his? Well, I tried to, because it was just so much information and there were so many
00:26:25.880 themes that were revealing itself as I went through all those documents. Initially, I started off just
00:26:32.420 detailing the physical damage that these migrants were doing to these hotels. And it wasn't accidental 1.00
00:26:41.300 stuff. It wasn't even stuff like holes in walls, although there was some of that. It was stuff like
00:26:46.840 starting fires in the rooms because they're drying their clothes. It was stuff like kids riding the
00:26:55.180 luggage racks around the hotel. It was urinating in the lobby, taking naps in the lobby. I mean,
00:27:06.260 it was just so much information that I had to break it down into a series of investigative reports
00:27:12.060 just so that I could communicate all of it to people. And by documents, you're referring to
00:27:18.220 confidential documents that we obtained from the government through access to information reports.
00:27:23.460 You know, some of the things like kids running around on a luggage rack, that's a ha ha. Kids
00:27:27.000 will be kids. But when you have mayhem in a hotel for weeks and months, the place is destroyed. I mean,
00:27:34.820 a kid running around on a luggage rack, I mean, that would be irritating. But, you know,
00:27:40.080 it's a little bit different when Bibles are destroyed. Now, is that just vandalism or is
00:27:47.460 that an ideological thing? Let me read some excerpts from some of the documents you've
00:27:52.420 been showing. Let me just start here. It's an email from one hotel manager.
00:27:57.720 Good morning. This is a challenging electronic message to write. However, it is essential to
00:28:02.000 inform you of the incidences that transpired here with this group. And he goes on.
00:28:07.060 Refugees are urinating in the lobby area, said one manager. Another manager, you know,
00:28:15.200 children are here. I mean, lots of peeing, lots of hygiene issues. 0.79
00:28:19.180 Lots of peeing. Lots of hygiene.
00:28:21.100 Yeah. Or just women. There's a lot of women who work in hotel housekeepers, front staff. 1.00
00:28:27.920 And you take in people from a misogynist rape culture. And that's not going to work. I mean,
00:28:33.280 here's just one line. I'm just, this is from an email on February, 2016. Parents are asked to stop
00:28:39.120 smoking only to blow smoke directly at the employees in disrespect. The men in particular do not like
00:28:44.920 to be asked by staff to stop and get very upset. And let me tell you one that was a little more
00:28:49.600 ominous. And I'm quoting here from one of your documents. And then I'd love for you to expand on
00:28:55.960 this. There was an issue with a housekeeper feeling intimidated by a male client. That's what 0.95
00:29:01.480 these Syrian migrants are called. She was washing the bathroom on her hands and knees. 0.93
00:29:06.040 And he was standing over her staring at her. The next day, a male housekeeper was sent to clean
00:29:11.480 that room. But he was denied entry as the client's wife was in the room. I don't know if there were
00:29:18.560 any sexual assaults or rapes in these hotels. It sounds like it weren't in your document. But I
00:29:24.520 can only imagine what it was like having uncovered Western style women doing service work in these 0.99
00:29:31.840 hotels. And these misogynist Sharia extremist migrants, either looking at them like a predator
00:29:40.060 would look at a lamb, or when a male was sent in, oh, you can't come in the room because my unveiled 0.99
00:29:45.180 wife is in here. It sounds really gross. 1.00
00:29:47.460 Well, and we would never really know about the things that go unreported with the migrants 0.83
00:29:56.300 and the rest of the hotel guests. Because you have to remember, these hotels were also open
00:30:02.920 to regular paying customers who had no idea when they were walking in that they were walking into
00:30:09.140 a filthy, sexually charged migrant camp courtesy of the Canadian government. 0.82
00:30:14.780 Yeah. Well, that's what this is. This is a refugee camp, but they weren't real refugees. 0.98
00:30:19.340 These were people who had already been relocated to Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon. So they were no
00:30:23.840 longer refugees. It's a lie to call them that. And they weren't from Syria either. They were 0.99
00:30:28.620 originally from Syria, perhaps, but they had already been relocated. So to call them Syrian refugees,
00:30:32.880 both of those words are a lie. But you're right. This was some filthy refugee camp. But instead of 1.00
00:30:38.620 being in the region, which it probably should have been, it was jammed into hotels in cities like
00:30:43.500 Toronto. Well, yeah. And there is behaviors happening in the hotel that I don't care where
00:30:49.720 you're from. I don't care if somebody wants to say that things are different amongst cultures.
00:30:54.880 I uncovered serious child neglect happening in those hotels. Babies left in the rooms alone.
00:31:01.860 Children left in the rooms alone for hours. The housekeeping staff were just coming across
00:31:06.560 children being left in the rooms, kids out playing in traffic. And the hotel managers
00:31:12.780 were reporting this information to their contacts at the government and nothing ever seemed to come
00:31:18.560 of it. And I was really struck with the double standard because if Canadians were neglecting their
00:31:24.140 children that way, surely social services would become involved. And it appears the federal government
00:31:30.220 wasn't really doing anything about this. And a lot of it seemed like the bigotry of low expectations.
00:31:37.140 Yeah. You know, one hotel manager said the hotel is, quote, completely destroyed. Here's another quote.
00:31:44.440 The, you know, children are running through the hotel causing damage to pools and they've had to
00:31:48.440 shut down the pool twice for repair or cleaning. And that manager, this is a paraphrase, estimates the
00:31:53.740 damage to the hotel is over $5,000 again and again, 250 bucks, 500 bucks. And when they're told they have
00:32:00.600 to pay for it, they said, oh, no, no, no, the government will take care of that. There was, they were, they,
00:32:05.880 they were, they knew that their bad behavior would just be picked up by Justin Trudeau, aka Canadian
00:32:12.540 taxpayers. Right. And in other documents that I found in that pile, you can really see how they
00:32:19.600 appreciated or didn't appreciate at all Canadians' generosity. They were at one point stuffing the
00:32:27.620 donated clothes from Canadians who sort of rallied around these so-called Syrian migrants as they came
00:32:34.320 into the country and donated clothes and, and toiletries and things that they needed. And the
00:32:39.520 hotels were finding these things discarded in the laundry room for the hotels to throw out.
00:32:44.840 It's unbelievable. Part of me thinks if you take a family with children and just jam them in some
00:32:53.680 urban hotel, that's dumb to begin with. Kids need a yard to run around. They need something to do. 0.96
00:33:01.580 They need school maybe, but how do you send them to school if they don't speak a word of English?
00:33:06.580 Men need to work or they get crazy, I suppose. But how do you do that when they have no marketable
00:33:12.940 skills, no language skills? The idea that you scoop up migrants from the Middle East and put them in an 1.00
00:33:20.420 urban hotel in Toronto to stew. Now that does not excuse the rape culture. That does not excuse the 0.76
00:33:26.520 vandalism, the ripping up of Bibles, the peeing on the walls. It doesn't excuse any of it. But by the
00:33:32.840 same token, what the hell are you thinking when you take a hotel and you turn it into an urban refugee camp 0.94
00:33:40.400 with no cultural or linguistic support? It is awful. And we're going to do it. We're doing it again 0.63
00:33:47.060 right now. We're doing it again, aren't we? Trudeau's announced he's going to give free hotels to all these
00:33:53.860 American migrants coming up. Right. I call them Americans. They're foreigners in America who've been kicked out 1.00
00:33:59.680 by Trump and we're taking his rejects. Yeah. They're self-deporting into Canada. And the government over the
00:34:08.540 course of the last week or so, since Bill Blair became the minister of gangs and borders and
00:34:15.060 whatever else that he does, they've sat down and they've decided that the solution to the migrant 1.00
00:34:22.380 problem is to house them in hotels. Even after seeing what happened in 2015 and 2016, this is now the
00:34:32.920 permanent solution to the migrant problem as opposed to changing the law or fixing the loopholes.
00:34:38.520 This is what will be done going forward. Unbelievable. Well, I was so glad. I was overseas
00:34:44.360 and I was paying a little bit of attention to back home. I was so glad that you were leading the
00:34:47.980 charge, as you so often do. You've really done well with these access information requests over the
00:34:52.580 years. I remember you're the one who broke the story that Rachel Notley canceled all the water bomber
00:34:56.460 contracts just days before the Fort McMurray fire. Folks, if you want to see Sheila's reports,
00:35:03.040 we put them all together at refugeeinvestigation.com. Do I have that address right, Sheila?
00:35:09.580 Yes. It's refugeeinvestigation.com. And you'll see the entire series of the investigations that I've
00:35:16.540 done into this story. Well, that is so important. And thank you for that work. And folks, as you know,
00:35:21.360 access to information requests cost money, filing fees. We have a staffer who does nothing but file
00:35:26.940 those things. So there's a staff cost too, working in close contact with Sheila and our other
00:35:32.700 reporters. So if you want to help chip in for our independent journalism, I guarantee you that you
00:35:39.380 will see nothing about this on the CBC. Sheila, great to see you. Keep up the great work.
00:35:44.500 I will. Thank you, boss. All right. There you have it. Sheila Gunn-Reed telling the stories the other
00:35:48.780 media refused to tell. She was the only one who covered the mass sexual assault trial from the
00:35:54.640 West Edmonton Mall swimming pool. She covered it clearly and sympathetically towards the victims.
00:35:59.900 The rest of the media either ignored it or covered it sympathetically to the accused, who, by the way,
00:36:05.280 in a shocking turn, was acquitted by the judge. I won't get into that now. Sheila, of course,
00:36:11.040 doing yeoman's work here at refugeeinvestigation.com. Stay with us. More ahead on The Rebel. 0.93
00:36:18.780 The Rebel. 0.90
00:36:48.760 I mean, I'm a bit of a sucker for Korean people, I guess. I just, I worked with the Ontario Korean 0.76
00:36:55.120 Businessmen's Association for a year. Maybe that's why. I mean, in Toronto here especially,
00:37:01.520 the hardest working people, the corner store, there's a whole Korean corner store association,
00:37:05.360 thousands of them, on their feet all day, law-abiding, tax-paying. How can you not love Koreans?
00:37:12.360 Okay. I just showed you, I'm a fan. But the gratitude also for our country and for the fact
00:37:20.600 that, I mean, Canada was in the Korean War too, you know, wasn't just America. And for this daughter
00:37:25.980 of freedom, saved by 37,000 American lives, to come to America. She was an immigrant here,
00:37:32.900 she wasn't even born here. And then to despise it and disparage it like that. What is going on? But
00:37:38.880 that's the cool kids. I think Joel Pollack was spot on where he said, she actually doesn't live
00:37:43.500 that way. She actually looks like she's living a great American life. But she feels the need,
00:37:48.980 obviously, to badmouth the country that saved her family and adopted her just to be one of the cool 0.86
00:37:54.600 kids of the New York Times. In fact, I would say that the fact that she hates America so volubly, 1.00
00:38:01.180 or at least white men in uniforms, probably helped her get the job of the New York Times, don't you 0.62
00:38:07.980 think? That's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:38:12.880 good night and keep fighting for freedom.
00:38:24.600 good night and keep fighting for freedom.
