Rebel News Podcast - Al Qaida terrorist Omar Khadr wants to fly to Saudi Arabia

00:00:00.000 Tonight, Al-Qaeda terrorist Omar Khadr wants to fly to Saudi Arabia.

00:00:05.000 Gee, what could go wrong?

00:00:07.340 It's December 11th and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:15.360 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:19.160 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:22.860 You come here once a year with a sign and you feel morally superior.

00:00:25.840 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it.

00:00:30.000 It's because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:00:36.380 Look at this story. It is a national outrage to normal people, but it barely merits a headline to the media party.

00:00:42.780 It really is one of the greatest divides in this country between the ruling elites and normal people.

00:00:47.540 Even more so than, say, the carbon tax.

00:00:49.860 The politicians and the lawyers and the journalists love Omar Khadr.

00:00:55.320 Canadians hate him. Of course we do.

00:00:57.400 He's a convicted, confessed terrorist.

00:00:59.180 He's a war criminal. He's a murderer. 0.87

00:01:02.500 Here's the headline in the Canadian press story as it ran in the Toronto Star.

00:01:06.460 Omar Khadr to ask for a Canadian passport to travel.

00:01:09.840 Permission to speak to sister.

00:01:11.960 Let's go through that for a bit.

00:01:14.260 The story here, it's just incredible.

00:01:17.400 Former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Omar Khadr wants to be granted a Canadian passport to travel to Saudi Arabia

00:01:24.000 and permission to speak to his controversial sister.

00:01:27.320 Is it really the main thing about Omar Khadr to describe him?

00:01:31.560 That he was a Guantanamo Bay detainee?

00:01:34.320 Is that the most important thing about him?

00:01:37.480 Not that he was an al-Qaeda terrorist, as was his father before him.

00:01:42.420 Not that he was convicted by a jury for murder and other war crimes.

00:01:46.840 Not a mention of that at all.

00:01:49.420 Let alone a mention of his victims, including the U.S. Army medic he murdered, Sergeant Christopher Sphere.

00:01:57.080 Would Paul Bernardo, if he were looking for bail or a relaxation of his punishments,

00:02:01.960 would he be referred to in the newspapers as a former prisoner,

00:02:05.220 but without mentioning what he was imprisoned for doing?

00:02:09.340 Would that just be omitted?

00:02:10.560 And a smiling picture of him being used.

00:02:12.620 Same picture, same headline, in the National Post.

00:02:15.200 Word for word.

00:02:19.060 You know, if you type in Omar Khadr into Google image search,

00:02:22.720 you can't find a bad picture of the guy.

00:02:25.700 He's always smiling.

00:02:28.260 That's not because he's always smiling.

00:02:31.760 It's because the only photos that the media party publishes are of him always smiling.

00:02:37.640 Or of him as a young boy.

00:02:39.100 That's a photo provided by his own mother directly to the media.

00:02:42.080 Seriously, it's all part of his PR rehab.

00:02:44.540 But that's not news, is it?

00:02:45.800 It's PR.

00:02:47.640 Compare that to one of the most beautiful women in the world, a former supermodel. 1.00

00:02:51.780 Probably the most fashionable dresser in the world, who happens to be first lady, Melania Trump. 1.00

00:02:58.360 Can you find some...

00:03:00.780 I guess you can find some happy, smiling ones.

00:03:04.860 But it's hard because the media narrative there is the opposite.

00:03:08.120 They're trying to portray Omar Khadr as harmless and friendly, just the boy next door.

00:03:12.220 But they're trying to portray Melania Trump as either evil and sour, or trapped by Trump as some prisoner. 0.63

00:03:20.280 It's propaganda through photo editors.

00:03:22.880 It really is.

00:03:23.360 I mean, when was the last time you saw Melania Trump on the cover of a high fashion magazine? 0.76

00:03:28.140 She's a former supermodel. 1.00

00:03:30.220 Yet she has not been on one important magazine cover in two years, whereas Michelle Obama was on every week.

00:03:35.600 Michelle Obama caught her on a national magazine cover.

00:03:39.540 He gets on.

00:03:40.480 Not a supermodel.

00:03:41.940 McLean's magazine.

00:03:42.800 Look at him smiling.

00:03:43.940 What a friendly guy.

00:03:46.620 What's so gross about this picture is that the woman he's standing next to, Amanda Lindow,

00:03:50.740 she was kidnapped by Muslim terrorists and raped by them in accordance with the Koran's rules on taking infidel women as rape slaves.

00:04:01.200 McLean's put a Muslim terrorist murderer standing next to a victim of Muslim terrorism, and they're both smiling. 0.89

00:04:09.160 So gross.

00:04:11.040 But that's just PR.

00:04:12.220 That's just the media.

00:04:13.060 That's why no one trusts the media.

00:04:15.040 But what's truly abominable is the facts of it, that Omar Khadr is actually out on the streets,

00:04:20.740 despite that jury sentencing him to 40 years in prison in the States.

00:04:24.680 That was Obama who sprung Khadr free and pushed him on Canada.

00:04:28.700 And Stephen Harper accepted him, and then Trudeau not only freed him but gave him an apology

00:04:34.900 and cut him a $10.5 million check.

00:04:39.760 But back to the story.

00:04:40.880 Let me focus on the story, not go down tangents.

00:04:44.720 But I want to point...

00:04:45.700 By the way, it was Harper who freed Khadr.

00:04:47.840 But I want to point to every single line in this story and how it's propaganda.

00:04:53.840 So be on guard.

00:04:54.520 Cotter, who is now 32, will be back in the court of Queen's Bench in Edmonton Thursday

00:05:00.780 to apply for changes to his bail conditions, which were imposed while he appeals war crimes convictions

00:05:05.860 by a U.S. military commission.

00:05:09.600 I should remind you that Cotter pled guilty.

00:05:14.060 He gave a detailed description of the war crimes he committed,

00:05:17.840 including that he got paid a bounty for killing Americans,

00:05:23.820 that he was trained in things like poisoning people,

00:05:27.760 that he planted IEDs of the type that killed Canadian soldiers.

00:05:32.100 Omer Cotter freely confessed to all of this, and we know it was freely confessed

00:05:35.580 because his very zealous lawyers approved every word of it.

00:05:39.180 You could see their signatures on the page.

00:05:42.180 They would never have approved of him making a false confession.

00:05:45.240 That would be a violation of their legal ethics.

00:05:47.680 It wouldn't do that.

00:05:49.920 So now he's appealing his conviction after having given graphic details of exactly what he did.

00:05:56.380 Gee, it's almost like you can't trust a terrorist these days.

00:05:59.280 I mean, if you can't trust a murderer to keep a written promise,

00:06:02.840 what's the world coming to these days, eh?

00:06:05.480 Now, let me read some more here.

00:06:07.120 An affidavit by Cotter filed with the court says the impact of his bail conditions

00:06:11.300 are mainly psychological, a daily reminder of what he went through.

00:06:16.140 I feel like the indefinite and potentially endless detention

00:06:19.780 that I suffered in Guantanamo Bay is continuing, he wrote.

00:06:23.720 I hope that there will be some end to this process, but there is none in sight.

00:06:27.500 Oh, so poor, isn't he?

00:06:29.040 The poor dear. 1.00

00:06:29.740 He really is the victim here, isn't he?

00:06:33.420 Not Christopher Speer, the man he murdered.

00:06:35.280 Not Tabitha Speer, Christopher's widow.

00:06:37.620 Not their two fatherless kids, Taryn and Tanner.

00:06:40.420 You see, Omar Cotter has a daily reminder of Guantanamo Bay.

00:06:44.880 Yeah, he's not there anymore.

00:06:46.220 He's been out for almost a decade.

00:06:48.640 But he's the real victim.

00:06:50.320 Won't you have pity on him?

00:06:51.820 Just don't mention the family he destroyed.

00:06:55.340 Omar Cotter, I'm going to keep reading here,

00:06:57.460 Cotter spent years in U.S. detention at Guantanamo Bay

00:07:00.940 after he was caught when he was 15

00:07:02.520 and accused of tossing a grenade

00:07:04.880 that killed Special Forces soldier Christopher Speer

00:07:07.460 at a militant compound in Afghanistan in 2002.

00:07:10.780 I love that word, militant.

00:07:11.960 They just can't say terrorist, can they?

00:07:14.540 Yeah, it is true.

00:07:15.240 He was accused of tossing a grenade that killed Speer.

00:07:18.020 Glad they finally mentioned him.

00:07:19.680 And he was also convicted of it.

00:07:22.140 And he also confessed to it.

00:07:24.560 It really wasn't a difficult conviction.

00:07:26.300 When the U.S. sees Cotter,

00:07:28.100 they also sees these home movies

00:07:30.280 of him making IED explosives.

00:07:33.680 There he is.

00:07:35.120 And posing with, that's a machine gun behind him, by the way.

00:07:38.260 Those baskets are IEDs.

00:07:40.160 So yeah, he was accused and he was convicted.

00:07:45.940 Would you ever see the media saying

00:07:48.000 Paul Bernardo was accused of killing people

00:07:50.180 but not mentioning that he was convicted?

00:07:53.080 And they just don't use the word murder, do they?

00:07:57.920 They say killed.

00:08:00.040 Let me read some more.

00:08:01.480 He says in his affidavit that he would be,

00:08:03.680 he would like to be able to speak on the phone

00:08:05.340 or over Skype to his sister, Zainab Qadr.

00:08:08.240 He is also asking to perform the Hajj, 0.97

00:08:10.800 a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia,

00:08:13.200 which is a mandatory religious duty

00:08:14.960 for Muslims once in their lifetime.

00:08:16.420 Oh, Zainab Qadr, his sister.

00:08:20.680 She's a terrorist lover too. 0.95

00:08:22.580 She loves the murder of infidels 1.00

00:08:23.980 and unlike Omar Qadr,

00:08:25.140 she doesn't keep quiet about it.

00:08:26.500 She just, she just lets her rip. 1.00

00:08:29.220 Three of his friends who were with him had been killed.

00:08:31.380 He was the only sole survivor.

00:08:32.880 What did you expect him to do?

00:08:34.160 Why is it, why does nobody say

00:08:35.660 you killed three of his friends?

00:08:37.020 Why does everybody say he killed an American soldier?

00:08:39.120 Big deal.

00:08:41.180 Yeah, what a sweetheart. 0.99

00:08:43.020 It's a small world though.

00:08:44.140 That terrorist lover hooked up

00:08:47.860 with this terrorist lover on the right.

00:08:50.820 He's also accused criminal.

00:08:52.260 His name is Joshua Boyle.

00:08:54.100 He used to be married to Zainab Qadr.

00:08:56.720 Did you know that?

00:08:57.940 And then he took this woman, 0.73

00:08:59.580 his subsequent wife,

00:09:01.540 to Afghanistan where this woman was raped

00:09:04.620 by the Taliban.

00:09:07.280 These are just the best people, aren't they?

00:09:09.060 What's so weird here is that Justin Trudeau

00:09:11.040 had a secret meeting with the Boyles

00:09:15.280 when they got back from Afghanistan.

00:09:17.400 It was a secret.

00:09:18.840 It only came to light when Boyle tweeted this tweet about it.

00:09:22.680 And he said,

00:09:24.180 incidentally, not our first meeting with Justin Trudeau.

00:09:27.560 That was in 06 in Toronto

00:09:28.980 over other common interests.

00:09:30.780 Ha ha.

00:09:32.760 Isn't that odd?

00:09:33.600 But don't you worry.

00:09:36.600 Canada's tenacious media party

00:09:37.860 will get right on that loose end.

00:09:39.880 You can be sure that the CBC will ask Trudeau

00:09:41.880 about what he met with

00:09:44.300 Cotter's brother-in-law about.

00:09:47.740 As soon as they asked Trudeau

00:09:49.060 about his own sexual assault on Rose Knight,

00:09:51.480 that reporter in Crest, NBC a few years back,

00:09:54.040 the New York Times reported on that.

00:09:55.640 The CBC, not so much.

00:09:57.420 Look, the Canadian media knows

00:09:58.560 who butters their bread these days.

00:09:59.940 They're not going to ask Trudeau

00:10:00.980 about what he met Joshua Boyle about back in 06.

00:10:05.240 Another tangent.

00:10:06.140 Just look at this just for a moment.

00:10:07.680 Is this accountability journalism

00:10:09.220 or is this a low-budget Canadian remake

00:10:12.460 of The Bachelor or some other lame dating show?

00:10:16.700 If you could do any other job

00:10:18.660 and you have to answer, what would it be?

00:10:20.380 I'd be a schoolteacher.

00:10:21.400 I knew you were going to say that.

00:10:22.200 No, no.

00:10:22.560 Like aspirational.

00:10:23.400 But it's what I am.

00:10:24.760 Aspirational.

00:10:26.040 Something you haven't done.

00:10:27.140 No, it'd be that.

00:10:31.360 It'd be maybe running a school.

00:10:34.460 Something at the UN.

00:10:35.840 Something at the...

00:10:36.760 Oh, no.

00:10:37.240 Once I'm done politics, I'm done politics.

00:10:41.780 Young love.

00:10:43.620 Walking in the snow.

00:10:44.560 I wonder if they held hands.

00:10:47.680 I'd say, if you ever find yourself someone

00:10:49.420 who looks at you

00:10:51.000 the way that Rosemary Barton

00:10:54.240 looks at Justin Trudeau,

00:10:55.380 never let them go.

00:10:56.340 That is a pure, pure love.

00:10:59.100 Hang on to that.

00:11:01.720 Let me read a little bit more from Omar Khadr.

00:11:03.940 For this reason, I would like to apply

00:11:05.720 for a Canadian passport,

00:11:07.560 he said in the document.

00:11:11.740 And you know what?

00:11:12.440 Omar Khadr will absolutely get his passport.

00:11:15.900 Our courts love Omar Khadr even more

00:11:17.700 than Justin Trudeau does.

00:11:19.980 And really, if we welcome back ISIS terrorists 0.89

00:11:21.960 from Syria and Iraq without any criminal charges,

00:11:24.160 why wouldn't we let an Al-Qaeda terrorist 1.00

00:11:25.800 have a passport, too?

00:11:27.080 I mean, you heard Trudeau.

00:11:29.460 The Liberal Party

00:11:30.580 believes

00:11:33.760 that terrorists

00:11:35.960 should get to keep

00:11:37.740 their Canadian citizenship.

00:11:43.140 Because I do.

00:11:43.880 And I'm willing to take on anyone

00:11:48.600 who disagrees with that.

00:11:50.940 Terrorist, son of Ahmed Khadr, 0.99

00:11:53.260 terrorist,

00:11:54.220 going to meet his pro-terrorist sister

00:11:56.340 in Saudi Arabia,

00:11:57.840 home of terrorists.

00:11:59.040 What could possibly go wrong?

00:12:02.280 But look at this.

00:12:02.840 I think this is the buried lead

00:12:04.320 in this whole story today.

00:12:06.060 Let me read some more here.

00:12:07.160 In his affidavit, Khadr said

00:12:09.200 that he has been volunteering

00:12:10.540 with an organization

00:12:11.800 that helps refugees

00:12:13.600 integrate into the community

00:12:15.420 and has earned his high school diploma.

00:12:18.380 Really?

00:12:18.780 So Justin Trudeau's Syrian migrants 0.98

00:12:20.840 are being shown the ropes

00:12:22.420 about how to integrate into Canada,

00:12:24.200 how to be law-abiding,

00:12:25.160 productive citizens,

00:12:26.220 how to stay out of trouble,

00:12:27.220 and how to put extremism

00:12:28.500 and hate and jihad behind them

00:12:29.980 by a convicted murderer

00:12:32.060 and Al-Qaeda terrorists

00:12:32.900 who has never publicly denounced Al-Qaeda

00:12:34.760 or his own father's key role in Al-Qaeda.

00:12:37.500 How did that happen?

00:12:39.080 Who let that happen?

00:12:40.100 Who are these Syrians 1.00

00:12:41.560 that Omar Khadr is allowed to coach?

00:12:43.780 How is that okay?

00:12:46.160 That's boring.

00:12:47.320 The media has other things to talk about.

00:12:49.980 You know, I spoke a lot

00:12:51.320 a few years back

00:12:52.860 with Dr. Michael Wellner, this guy.

00:12:54.980 He's the forensic psychiatrist

00:12:56.400 who interviewed Omar Khadr

00:12:58.240 at length in Guantanamo Bay,

00:13:00.600 who found him to be psychologically

00:13:03.140 bitter, entitled, resentful,

00:13:05.740 a cunning liar.

00:13:06.900 And one of the things

00:13:07.640 that Dr. Wellner said,

00:13:08.660 referring to European studies

00:13:10.560 about jihadists,

00:13:12.040 was that there are three factors,

00:13:14.480 three predictors,

00:13:15.720 as to whether a jihadist

00:13:17.460 will return to a life of terror.

00:13:20.460 The first is religious piety.

00:13:22.580 Does the terrorist remain

00:13:24.040 a devout Muslim?

00:13:26.400 And we don't know the answer to that,

00:13:28.000 but Aguantanamo Bay,

00:13:29.960 Omar Khadr was so religious, 0.64

00:13:31.180 he actually led

00:13:32.080 the other prisoners at prayer.

00:13:33.740 He memorized the Koran.

00:13:37.120 The next is public statements.

00:13:39.980 Does the terrorist clearly

00:13:41.220 and unequivocally renounce

00:13:43.840 Islamic extremism

00:13:45.700 and his former terror groups

00:13:47.860 and terror as a tactic?

00:13:50.520 Omar Khadr's never done that.

00:13:52.720 I defy you to show me

00:13:54.000 where Omar Khadr has said,

00:13:55.480 I renounce Al-Qaeda

00:13:56.640 and I reject it.

00:13:58.320 He hasn't said that.

00:13:59.900 He has never repudiated Al-Qaeda 1.00

00:14:01.560 or his father's role in it.

00:14:02.940 He just hasn't.

00:14:04.660 He hasn't even repudiated

00:14:06.240 Osama bin Laden,

00:14:07.360 his old family friend.

00:14:08.320 And finally,

00:14:09.020 the third is who he associates with,

00:14:12.400 who he has consorted with

00:14:14.480 in person, on the phone, online.

00:14:16.620 Again, we don't know

00:14:17.360 who he's hanging out with,

00:14:18.520 but we know what he wants to do.

00:14:20.560 He just told us

00:14:21.120 he wants to go to Saudi Arabia

00:14:22.340 to meet his terror-loving sister.

00:14:26.820 This will not end well.

00:14:29.260 My only hope is that

00:14:30.200 if Khadr blows something up,

00:14:31.940 he does so over there

00:14:32.800 in Saudi Arabia,

00:14:33.400 not over here.

00:14:35.960 But if he were to murder

00:14:37.500 a Canadian Jew

00:14:38.920 or a Canadian soldier,

00:14:42.000 as he was offered a bounty

00:14:43.780 to do by Al-Qaeda,

00:14:45.660 you just know

00:14:46.480 that the Toronto Star

00:14:47.920 would say it was mental illness.

00:14:50.220 And Justin Trudeau

00:14:51.040 would call anyone

00:14:51.680 who was upset about it

00:14:52.700 an Islamophobe.

00:14:55.080 By the way,

00:14:55.620 if you want to learn more

00:14:56.440 about Omar Khadr,

00:14:57.280 just the facts,

00:14:58.240 not the loving spin,

00:14:59.280 go to our website

00:15:00.800 on the subject,

00:15:01.760 jailkader.com.

00:15:05.260 Stay with us for more.

00:15:22.620 Welcome back.

00:15:23.560 Well, as you know,

00:15:24.680 while I'm holding the fort

00:15:25.800 here at our world headquarters

00:15:27.180 in Toronto,

00:15:27.940 we have reporters

00:15:29.000 around the globe.

00:15:30.080 The sun never sets

00:15:31.160 on the rebel empire.

00:15:32.940 We have David Menzies 0.50

00:15:33.960 in Marrakech, Morocco,

00:15:35.560 and Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:15:36.760 in Poland.

00:15:37.380 These are not vacations.

00:15:39.360 These are journalistic missions

00:15:41.700 to cover United Nations conferences.

00:15:45.120 David's covering

00:15:45.600 the UN Global Contract

00:15:46.880 for Migration,

00:15:48.220 and Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:15:49.160 is at her third

00:15:50.820 global warming conference,

00:15:52.660 and she joins us now

00:15:53.840 via Skype

00:15:55.060 from Katowice, Poland.

00:15:58.400 Hey, Sheila,

00:15:59.040 great to see you.

00:15:59.680 It looks like you're not

00:16:00.800 at the global warming conference,

00:16:02.820 judging by the amount

00:16:03.740 of electric light

00:16:05.160 and general happiness there.

00:16:07.480 It looks like you're amongst

00:16:08.520 severely normal poles

00:16:10.240 as opposed to the

00:16:11.180 scolding,

00:16:12.340 turn down the,

00:16:13.620 turn off the lights,

00:16:14.880 turn down the heat

00:16:15.740 global warming sneerers.

00:16:18.920 Well, first thing

00:16:19.800 I will correct you on,

00:16:21.100 they love their electricity

00:16:22.860 and their fossil fuels

00:16:24.260 down at the climate

00:16:25.420 change conference,

00:16:26.180 but yes,

00:16:26.680 these people are much happier

00:16:27.840 and far less dour,

00:16:29.360 and I think they have

00:16:30.300 a much better outlook

00:16:31.360 on the world.

00:16:31.980 We're at the Christmas market

00:16:33.080 in downtown Katowice,

00:16:34.940 Poland right now.

00:16:35.860 Yeah.

00:16:36.360 You know,

00:16:36.640 I'm just joking

00:16:38.200 because I saw some

00:16:38.980 of your earlier tweets,

00:16:40.220 and we'll show

00:16:40.720 some of those images.

00:16:42.440 The bus,

00:16:43.660 one of the buses

00:16:44.580 for the global warming delegates

00:16:46.900 is sponsored by Poland's

00:16:49.760 oil and gas

00:16:50.740 and coal company

00:16:51.780 or something.

00:16:52.640 I mean,

00:16:52.980 that is tweaking

00:16:54.760 the nose of the UN.

00:16:56.100 I like that style.

00:16:57.120 Tell me a little bit

00:16:57.680 about that.

00:16:58.160 That was unusual.

00:17:00.320 Yeah,

00:17:00.840 we saw the bus

00:17:02.140 go by earlier,

00:17:03.280 so it's not like

00:17:04.180 we're allowed

00:17:04.620 in the conference,

00:17:05.240 so we just sort of

00:17:06.920 parked ourselves

00:17:07.580 on the street corner

00:17:08.460 and waited for the bus

00:17:09.300 to come by again,

00:17:10.120 and it is sponsored

00:17:10.820 by the Polish oil

00:17:11.860 and gas company,

00:17:13.020 the EcoBus,

00:17:14.180 which is diesel,

00:17:15.160 by the way.

00:17:15.740 But this whole conference

00:17:17.780 really is rubbing

00:17:19.480 the UN's nose

00:17:21.860 in the fact

00:17:23.180 that Poland 0.95

00:17:24.020 refuses to concede

00:17:25.400 its coal country

00:17:26.520 to the UN's goals.

00:17:29.140 This morning,

00:17:30.020 we made plans

00:17:31.920 to go to

00:17:32.840 a museum

00:17:34.460 that celebrates

00:17:35.440 the history of coal

00:17:36.640 in the region.

00:17:37.300 As you pointed out yesterday,

00:17:39.040 this is

00:17:39.480 Eastern Europe's 0.84

00:17:41.060 West Virginia.

00:17:42.220 It is the second largest

00:17:43.480 coal-producing nation

00:17:44.760 in all of Europe,

00:17:46.040 and anywhere between

00:17:47.520 80% and 90%

00:17:48.600 of the region's

00:17:49.820 electricity

00:17:50.500 comes from coal.

00:17:51.540 So we thought,

00:17:52.280 let's go to the

00:17:53.080 Coal Museum.

00:17:54.140 So we go to the

00:17:54.840 Coal Museum.

00:17:55.700 We're wandering

00:17:56.500 around the Coal Museum,

00:17:58.160 which is an outdoor

00:17:58.980 museum,

00:17:59.860 and as it turns out,

00:18:01.600 the UN Climate Change

00:18:02.760 Conference,

00:18:03.280 part of it,

00:18:03.820 is on the grounds

00:18:05.340 of the Coal Museum.

00:18:07.240 So really,

00:18:07.800 I mean,

00:18:09.120 it was,

00:18:09.740 I wish I could

00:18:10.780 achieve that

00:18:11.780 level of trolling

00:18:13.080 that the

00:18:14.360 conservative government

00:18:15.340 in Warsaw did

00:18:16.620 when they

00:18:17.260 strategically placed

00:18:18.340 the UN Climate

00:18:19.060 Change Conference

00:18:19.800 next door to

00:18:21.080 the Coal Museum.

00:18:22.080 You know,

00:18:23.060 that would,

00:18:23.820 the only way

00:18:24.380 to top that

00:18:25.200 would be to have

00:18:26.280 the next

00:18:27.040 global warming

00:18:27.740 UN conference

00:18:28.620 literally in an

00:18:30.240 open pit

00:18:31.120 oil sands

00:18:32.040 mine

00:18:32.580 up in

00:18:33.740 Fort McMurray.

00:18:35.140 That is very

00:18:36.060 funny.

00:18:36.500 I didn't realize

00:18:37.440 that,

00:18:38.600 and you know

00:18:39.780 what,

00:18:39.940 I like that.

00:18:41.380 I suppose

00:18:42.040 Poland,

00:18:42.720 you know,

00:18:42.940 it's still

00:18:43.500 catching up

00:18:44.260 economically

00:18:44.820 because it was

00:18:45.640 under the yoke

00:18:46.280 of the Soviet

00:18:47.360 Union for so long,

00:18:48.740 so I suppose

00:18:49.340 the economic

00:18:50.120 boost of having

00:18:51.540 22,000 VIPs,

00:18:54.060 you know,

00:18:54.460 in five-star hotels

00:18:55.500 and limos

00:18:56.220 and dining

00:18:57.000 and drinking,

00:18:58.080 I suppose

00:18:58.620 from a Polish

00:18:59.700 point of view,

00:19:00.320 having that kind

00:19:01.120 of influx of money,

00:19:02.220 that's probably

00:19:02.740 a 20 million

00:19:04.140 dollar at least,

00:19:05.240 maybe 30,

00:19:06.220 40,

00:19:06.480 50 million

00:19:07.020 dollar injection,

00:19:08.100 so it's worth

00:19:09.340 having,

00:19:09.900 especially if they

00:19:10.500 can thumb their

00:19:11.100 nose at the UN,

00:19:11.980 that's win-win

00:19:12.580 all around

00:19:13.140 from my point

00:19:13.760 of view.

00:19:15.220 Yeah,

00:19:15.800 I mean,

00:19:16.180 I don't condemn

00:19:17.800 Poland for having 1.00

00:19:18.940 this conference,

00:19:19.720 I certainly don't

00:19:20.340 condemn Katowice for

00:19:21.720 having the conference,

00:19:22.720 Katowice is about

00:19:23.500 300,000 people,

00:19:25.020 so not large,

00:19:25.900 but not small

00:19:26.660 either,

00:19:27.360 so to have that

00:19:27.920 sort of economic

00:19:28.660 influx,

00:19:29.280 it's a real boom

00:19:30.240 to the local

00:19:30.920 economy,

00:19:31.980 but in fact,

00:19:33.820 Poland,

00:19:34.220 or at least

00:19:34.800 this part of

00:19:35.360 Poland has 0.99

00:19:35.860 about 4%

00:19:36.720 unemployment,

00:19:37.900 and a lot

00:19:38.380 of that is

00:19:38.840 due in part

00:19:39.460 to the

00:19:40.340 region's vast

00:19:41.780 coal reserve,

00:19:42.600 some 100,000

00:19:44.220 people work

00:19:45.080 in mining

00:19:45.660 here in Poland,

00:19:46.660 in coal mining

00:19:47.440 specifically,

00:19:48.440 and that's not

00:19:49.140 the spin-off,

00:19:50.240 so when you have

00:19:50.880 people like

00:19:51.420 Greenpeace,

00:19:52.140 who we encounter

00:19:53.020 today saying

00:19:53.800 that it's time

00:19:54.600 to end coal

00:19:55.460 and get off

00:19:56.520 coal,

00:19:56.980 I mean,

00:19:58.020 really,

00:19:58.520 that's not going

00:19:58.960 to happen here,

00:19:59.540 that's just

00:20:00.080 outlandish thinking,

00:20:01.080 there's no way

00:20:01.600 that they can

00:20:01.980 replace up to

00:20:03.280 90% of their

00:20:04.260 grid with

00:20:04.740 renewables,

00:20:05.560 especially when

00:20:07.140 it gets dark

00:20:07.800 at 4 o'clock

00:20:08.560 in the afternoon.

00:20:10.240 Well,

00:20:10.720 you know,

00:20:11.340 Catherine McKenna

00:20:12.160 and Justin Trudeau,

00:20:13.440 and they get it

00:20:14.500 from Gerald Butts,

00:20:16.000 who launched

00:20:16.780 the war on

00:20:17.360 coal in Ontario,

00:20:18.840 they were fairly

00:20:19.620 successful in

00:20:20.380 driving coal out

00:20:21.200 of Ontario,

00:20:21.880 and Rachel Notley

00:20:22.560 is now driving

00:20:23.240 coal out of Alberta,

00:20:24.360 but what's so weird

00:20:25.140 is that the port

00:20:25.880 of Vancouver

00:20:26.660 is the largest

00:20:28.240 export terminal

00:20:29.580 for American

00:20:30.820 and some

00:20:31.740 Canadian coal

00:20:32.540 on the West

00:20:34.140 Coast.

00:20:35.020 So,

00:20:35.860 I find that

00:20:36.920 so weird

00:20:37.820 that Catherine

00:20:38.380 McKenna,

00:20:38.800 Justin Trudeau,

00:20:39.400 Gerald Butts

00:20:39.840 are fine

00:20:40.320 with American

00:20:41.540 coal,

00:20:42.380 they want to

00:20:42.840 shut down

00:20:43.300 Canadian coal.

00:20:44.560 It's like

00:20:45.000 they want to

00:20:46.100 shut down

00:20:46.460 the oil sands

00:20:47.240 and Canadian

00:20:47.820 oil pipelines,

00:20:48.680 but they're fine

00:20:49.420 with OPEC oil

00:20:50.200 imports from

00:20:50.780 Saudi Arabia

00:20:51.440 and Algeria,

00:20:52.900 and these days

00:20:53.820 a lot of

00:20:54.180 American oil

00:20:54.780 coming in by train.

00:20:56.020 There's so many

00:20:56.680 contradictions here.

00:20:57.700 Let me ask you

00:20:59.060 though,

00:20:59.320 you mentioned

00:20:59.860 the town

00:21:00.240 of Katowice

00:21:00.800 is a very

00:21:01.380 coal country.

00:21:02.760 Have you had

00:21:03.480 any conversations

00:21:04.460 even casually

00:21:05.400 with the locals?

00:21:07.080 Do a lot of

00:21:08.180 locals speak

00:21:08.680 English there?

00:21:09.300 Do they have

00:21:09.700 any comments

00:21:10.680 about the UN?

00:21:11.800 Are they engaged

00:21:12.620 at all?

00:21:13.360 I remember

00:21:14.040 yesterday you

00:21:14.600 were saying

00:21:15.040 the city

00:21:16.360 is sort of

00:21:16.820 shrugging,

00:21:17.280 they really

00:21:17.520 don't even

00:21:17.860 care that

00:21:18.260 these folks

00:21:18.640 are in town,

00:21:19.420 unlike Marrakesh

00:21:21.540 or Bonn

00:21:22.640 a couple years

00:21:23.060 ago.

00:21:23.440 Do any

00:21:23.840 locals have

00:21:24.380 an opinion

00:21:24.880 on the UN

00:21:26.400 and global

00:21:26.880 warming?

00:21:28.640 A, a lot

00:21:29.660 of locals

00:21:30.100 don't speak

00:21:30.760 English.

00:21:31.260 So there's

00:21:31.680 a lot of

00:21:32.180 communication

00:21:32.940 through sign

00:21:33.960 language for

00:21:34.600 myself and

00:21:35.320 my videographer.

00:21:37.340 But other

00:21:38.080 than that,

00:21:38.440 you can't

00:21:38.940 really tell

00:21:39.520 that there's

00:21:39.920 a UN

00:21:40.180 climate change

00:21:40.740 conference in

00:21:41.320 town.

00:21:41.560 There's not

00:21:42.000 signage

00:21:42.480 throughout

00:21:42.820 town.

00:21:43.720 We happened

00:21:44.880 across the

00:21:45.560 other part

00:21:46.240 of the

00:21:46.680 conference

00:21:47.060 just through

00:21:47.680 happenstance.

00:21:48.780 The only

00:21:49.320 way you

00:21:49.780 really know

00:21:50.680 that there's

00:21:52.360 a climate

00:21:52.680 change conference

00:21:53.340 in town

00:21:53.720 or that there

00:21:54.200 are important

00:21:54.820 people in

00:21:55.400 town, I

00:21:55.700 should say,

00:21:56.140 is that

00:21:56.680 the city

00:21:57.280 is plagued

00:21:58.260 by motorcades,

00:21:59.860 constant

00:22:00.300 motorcades of

00:22:01.540 high-level

00:22:02.460 dignitaries coming

00:22:03.460 through town and

00:22:04.220 shutting down the

00:22:04.860 streets.

00:22:05.200 But outside of

00:22:06.320 that, nobody

00:22:07.140 really seems to

00:22:07.920 care.

00:22:08.160 It is business

00:22:08.720 as usual in

00:22:09.700 Katowice, Poland.

00:22:10.820 Motorcades, are

00:22:11.520 you saying they're

00:22:12.100 not using

00:22:13.220 bicycles in

00:22:14.360 snowy Poland? 0.69

00:22:16.660 They're not on

00:22:17.080 bikes there.

00:22:17.660 No one is

00:22:19.900 touching the

00:22:20.400 bikes, Ezra.

00:22:21.780 We actually

00:22:22.660 found the

00:22:23.500 bikes.

00:22:24.260 There are no

00:22:24.920 bike racks

00:22:25.500 except for

00:22:26.320 the one

00:22:26.740 bike rack

00:22:27.260 that is

00:22:27.720 customarily

00:22:29.000 provided by

00:22:29.860 the United

00:22:30.340 Nations.

00:22:30.860 I've seen

00:22:31.260 those same

00:22:31.800 bikes.

00:22:32.520 This is my

00:22:33.000 third year

00:22:33.500 in a row.

00:22:34.440 Nobody seems

00:22:35.080 to use the

00:22:35.620 bikes, especially

00:22:36.280 since the snow

00:22:37.240 has started

00:22:37.860 again here in

00:22:38.600 Katowice.

00:22:39.460 No one's 0.64

00:22:40.000 using the

00:22:40.380 bikes.

00:22:41.320 Nobody.

00:22:42.080 The normal

00:22:44.100 Polish people

00:22:44.760 are not on

00:22:45.180 the bikes.

00:22:45.580 They're not

00:22:45.880 using them.

00:22:46.240 You'd be

00:22:46.800 crazy to

00:22:47.280 ride a

00:22:47.540 bike in

00:22:48.060 that weather.

00:22:48.780 And again,

00:22:49.360 your Twitter

00:22:49.720 feed is

00:22:50.180 gorgeous.

00:22:50.620 We're going

00:22:50.820 to show

00:22:51.100 some of

00:22:51.540 the images

00:22:52.000 that you're

00:22:52.420 just taking

00:22:52.900 of all

00:22:53.940 this goofiness

00:22:55.300 there.

00:22:56.100 It really

00:22:56.760 is a joke,

00:22:57.480 but hey,

00:22:57.880 I can

00:22:58.140 understand

00:22:58.420 there's

00:22:58.600 20 plus

00:22:59.660 thousand

00:23:00.080 people there

00:23:00.720 all on

00:23:01.740 some

00:23:02.060 taxpayers' 0.54

00:23:02.940 dime.

00:23:03.480 They don't

00:23:03.860 care.

00:23:04.140 It's just

00:23:04.440 an annual

00:23:05.480 party.

00:23:06.000 You go

00:23:06.600 through the

00:23:08.020 good graces

00:23:08.520 of our

00:23:09.100 donors and

00:23:10.220 you stay

00:23:11.020 very cheap.

00:23:11.860 You took

00:23:12.160 a really

00:23:12.480 cheap flight.

00:23:13.180 I appreciate

00:23:13.560 that.

00:23:13.980 Thank you.

00:23:14.740 So you're

00:23:15.120 not going

00:23:15.620 five-star

00:23:16.240 luxury.

00:23:17.300 Any

00:23:17.780 encounters

00:23:18.960 with the

00:23:19.560 126-person

00:23:21.360 entourage

00:23:22.080 that Her

00:23:23.480 Royal Highness

00:23:24.200 Catherine McKenna

00:23:25.180 has brought?

00:23:26.220 By the way,

00:23:26.620 I should say

00:23:27.080 that's down

00:23:27.940 from the

00:23:29.260 333...

00:23:30.660 It's about

00:23:30.740 30 people

00:23:31.360 down.

00:23:32.640 They have

00:23:33.320 383 delegates

00:23:35.320 in Paris

00:23:36.620 because Paris

00:23:37.520 is the city

00:23:38.040 of light,

00:23:38.420 city of love.

00:23:39.360 I guess

00:23:39.660 only 126

00:23:40.960 piggies at

00:23:42.800 the trough

00:23:43.240 wanted to

00:23:43.660 go to

00:23:43.920 Poland.

00:23:44.220 That's still

00:23:44.680 a shockingly

00:23:45.760 large.

00:23:46.160 Have you

00:23:47.100 seen any

00:23:47.560 of them

00:23:47.760 or are

00:23:47.980 they just

00:23:48.300 staying at

00:23:48.620 the five-star

00:23:49.160 hotels behind

00:23:50.420 high security

00:23:51.860 and high

00:23:52.520 gates?

00:23:54.340 I'm

00:23:54.900 standing in

00:23:55.900 the snow

00:23:56.600 on a wet

00:23:57.540 street corner

00:23:58.300 in the middle

00:23:59.480 of Katowice,

00:24:00.320 Poland.

00:24:00.900 I am not

00:24:01.740 going to see

00:24:02.240 one of

00:24:02.760 Catherine

00:24:03.320 McKenna's

00:24:04.080 high-level

00:24:04.720 dignitaries,

00:24:06.280 bureaucrats,

00:24:08.100 cubicle dwellers 0.61

00:24:09.100 that she takes

00:24:09.780 to these sort

00:24:10.280 of things.

00:24:10.980 I'm outside

00:24:11.580 toughing it out.

00:24:12.400 They're

00:24:12.800 somewhere

00:24:13.160 experiencing

00:24:13.860 a hot

00:24:14.260 bath

00:24:14.680 and luxury

00:24:15.400 right now.

00:24:16.140 That's right.

00:24:16.820 Now,

00:24:17.660 to be serious

00:24:18.380 to me,

00:24:18.880 it's fun

00:24:19.700 to have

00:24:20.560 a joke.

00:24:21.140 You are

00:24:21.580 doing serious

00:24:22.360 journalism

00:24:22.680 about this

00:24:23.580 and all

00:24:25.280 your videos

00:24:25.840 are at

00:24:26.500 rebelun.com

00:24:28.540 and that's

00:24:28.980 a page

00:24:29.360 where you

00:24:29.640 can click

00:24:30.080 for your

00:24:30.560 videos from

00:24:31.140 the Global

00:24:31.420 Warming

00:24:31.680 Conference

00:24:32.040 or David's

00:24:33.160 from the

00:24:33.420 Migration

00:24:33.880 Conference.

00:24:35.000 I haven't

00:24:35.660 seen all

00:24:36.340 the videos

00:24:36.800 you've

00:24:37.140 fed to us

00:24:37.740 in the last

00:24:38.460 day or so.

00:24:39.000 I know

00:24:39.100 we're just

00:24:39.440 uploading

00:24:40.180 some of

00:24:40.520 them now.

00:24:41.020 Give me

00:24:41.300 a hint

00:24:41.720 on some

00:24:42.740 of the

00:24:42.960 subjects

00:24:43.480 that you've

00:24:44.220 covered.

00:24:44.620 We're just

00:24:45.040 having some

00:24:45.480 fun banter

00:24:46.200 here,

00:24:46.760 but tell me

00:24:47.120 some of the

00:24:47.520 serious subjects

00:24:48.340 you've covered

00:24:49.160 for our

00:24:49.580 viewers.

00:24:51.320 Okay,

00:24:51.920 so earlier

00:24:52.380 this morning,

00:24:53.000 like I said,

00:24:53.460 we went to

00:24:54.200 the Coal

00:24:55.540 Museum

00:24:56.000 and we

00:24:57.780 did a

00:24:58.360 little

00:24:58.940 video from

00:25:00.720 there

00:25:01.160 pointing out

00:25:02.400 just the

00:25:02.720 close proximity

00:25:03.500 of,

00:25:04.360 and really,

00:25:05.080 you can see

00:25:05.600 in the video,

00:25:06.640 the Climate

00:25:07.340 Change Conference

00:25:07.940 is right on

00:25:08.840 top of the

00:25:09.360 Coal Museum.

00:25:10.380 Then we

00:25:10.740 went and

00:25:11.000 discovered

00:25:11.340 some of

00:25:11.700 the weirdness

00:25:12.540 just off

00:25:14.020 site.

00:25:14.680 We found

00:25:15.120 where Greenpeace

00:25:15.860 was.

00:25:16.340 We claimed

00:25:17.140 climate refugee

00:25:18.480 status because

00:25:19.760 we were pretty

00:25:20.660 cold in the

00:25:22.180 restaurant that

00:25:23.880 Greenpeace

00:25:24.400 took over.

00:25:25.660 We met some

00:25:26.360 strange characters,

00:25:27.400 somebody named

00:25:27.940 Sustainable

00:25:28.560 Claus, who

00:25:30.460 doesn't live

00:25:31.480 all that

00:25:31.960 sustainably.

00:25:32.820 So we've

00:25:33.140 done quite a

00:25:33.740 bit of

00:25:34.120 interesting

00:25:35.180 journalism here

00:25:35.980 today.

00:25:36.420 And, you

00:25:36.800 know, we

00:25:37.060 might do a

00:25:37.820 little video

00:25:38.240 about the

00:25:38.880 Christmas

00:25:40.040 market that

00:25:40.660 we're in.

00:25:41.500 It's not

00:25:42.300 like a

00:25:42.880 Berlin or

00:25:43.640 Cologne

00:25:44.160 Christmas

00:25:44.740 market.

00:25:45.620 There's a

00:25:46.020 lot of

00:25:46.440 overt symbols

00:25:47.260 of Christianity

00:25:48.200 here and

00:25:48.960 very, very

00:25:50.040 low levels

00:25:50.720 of security.

00:25:51.460 There are

00:25:51.800 no barriers

00:25:52.640 to keep

00:25:53.460 anybody safe

00:25:54.180 here in

00:25:54.540 Poland because 1.00

00:25:55.380 they are so

00:25:56.040 tight at their

00:25:56.580 own borders.

00:25:57.400 Yeah, that's

00:25:58.180 a great point.

00:25:58.900 And obviously

00:25:59.820 the main

00:26:00.520 purpose, our

00:26:01.260 viewers crowdfunded

00:26:02.100 you, was to

00:26:02.600 cover the

00:26:03.320 Global Warming

00:26:03.760 Conference.

00:26:04.060 But since

00:26:04.680 you're there

00:26:05.060 in Poland,

00:26:05.680 there are

00:26:06.260 other interesting

00:26:07.080 Polish stories

00:26:07.940 including their

00:26:09.400 resistance to

00:26:10.560 Angela Merkel

00:26:11.940 style mass

00:26:12.760 Muslim

00:26:13.160 migration and

00:26:14.260 the fact that

00:26:14.720 you can go to

00:26:15.240 an overtly

00:26:16.320 Christian Christmas

00:26:17.220 market without

00:26:18.160 all these steel

00:26:19.160 diversity barriers.

00:26:20.620 I mean, as you

00:26:21.420 know, I go to

00:26:21.960 London from time

00:26:22.640 to time.

00:26:23.800 Everywhere you

00:26:24.500 have steel and

00:26:25.180 concrete barriers

00:26:26.100 in the name of

00:26:26.720 diversity.

00:26:27.340 You don't need

00:26:28.000 that in Poland

00:26:28.620 because they don't

00:26:29.460 have those

00:26:29.980 problems.

00:26:30.520 I hope you'll do

00:26:31.320 a few videos

00:26:31.960 about that.

00:26:32.880 Hey, let me

00:26:33.340 ask you, did

00:26:34.240 you bump into

00:26:34.820 our friend

00:26:35.260 Mark Morano?

00:26:36.280 Have you seen

00:26:37.020 him or has he

00:26:38.580 landed there yet?

00:26:39.560 Not yet.

00:26:40.320 Not yet.

00:26:41.160 He's here on

00:26:41.860 the ground.

00:26:42.340 I followed his

00:26:42.940 Twitter feed pretty

00:26:43.740 closely and his

00:26:45.360 friend Craig Rucker's

00:26:47.780 Instagram.

00:26:48.500 I know they're

00:26:49.120 here.

00:26:49.460 I'm trying to

00:26:50.180 track them down,

00:26:50.880 but they're busy

00:26:51.440 guys and they get

00:26:52.240 up to a lot of

00:26:52.920 no good.

00:26:53.320 So I'm going to

00:26:54.480 do my best to

00:26:55.220 track them down.

00:26:56.120 Yeah, they got

00:26:56.860 that rebel style.

00:26:57.820 They're always in

00:26:58.340 the shenanigans.

00:26:59.040 Well, if you can

00:26:59.620 hook up with them,

00:27:00.280 that'd be fun because

00:27:01.260 I bet they have

00:27:01.840 a stunt planned

00:27:03.040 like they do

00:27:04.300 every year.

00:27:04.820 Those guys are

00:27:05.320 good guys and

00:27:06.480 it'll be nice for

00:27:07.180 you to see an

00:27:07.780 ally there.

00:27:09.800 Well, it's great

00:27:10.540 to see you and

00:27:11.600 best regards to

00:27:12.540 our videographer

00:27:13.320 and to all our

00:27:14.380 friends there in

00:27:15.040 Poland.

00:27:15.600 And how many more

00:27:17.000 days are you on

00:27:17.800 the ground there?

00:27:18.480 I know you have a

00:27:19.020 very long journey

00:27:19.740 back afterwards.

00:27:21.040 How many more

00:27:21.740 actual reporting

00:27:22.560 days are you in

00:27:23.480 Poland for? 0.73

00:27:25.120 We're here till

00:27:26.280 Friday.

00:27:27.000 I leave very early

00:27:28.180 Saturday morning and

00:27:29.340 my videographer leaves

00:27:30.440 Friday afternoon.

00:27:31.180 So we are going to

00:27:32.560 jam a lot of

00:27:33.840 journalism into the

00:27:34.780 remaining parts of the

00:27:35.700 week.

00:27:36.240 Great.

00:27:36.820 Well, listen, thanks so

00:27:37.780 much for taking the

00:27:38.720 time and I know it's

00:27:39.520 nighttime over there.

00:27:40.780 So thanks for joining.

00:27:41.540 It's a very pretty

00:27:42.160 background of the

00:27:43.320 Christmas market.

00:27:44.380 Sheila, keep up the 1.00

00:27:45.100 fight there.

00:27:45.640 And I just want to let

00:27:46.460 you know that you

00:27:47.800 really are the only

00:27:49.400 trustworthy window for

00:27:51.600 us into the madness

00:27:53.000 of this global warming

00:27:53.860 conference.

00:27:54.220 I have to tell you, I

00:27:55.460 simply cannot trust a

00:27:57.820 journalist that the

00:27:59.340 UN trusts.

00:28:00.780 And that's the choice

00:28:01.540 here because you were

00:28:02.740 not accredited specifically

00:28:04.060 because of your point of

00:28:05.160 view.

00:28:05.560 That means you are

00:28:07.120 accredited in my books.

00:28:09.020 The fact that the UN

00:28:09.820 doesn't trust you is the

00:28:12.080 reason I do trust you.

00:28:14.220 And it's vice versa as

00:28:16.040 well.

00:28:16.380 If there's a journalist

00:28:17.400 who manages to suck up to

00:28:18.940 get into the UN, I know I

00:28:21.120 can't trust that journalist to

00:28:22.920 tell me the straight goods.

00:28:23.880 You know what I didn't

00:28:26.280 see, I've only seen one

00:28:27.520 other journalist working

00:28:29.020 outside of the United

00:28:30.220 Nations facility this whole

00:28:32.020 time.

00:28:32.760 One.

00:28:33.520 So that means that

00:28:35.780 everybody else is inside

00:28:37.220 being, you know,

00:28:38.580 professional repeaters

00:28:39.820 instead of critical

00:28:41.780 journalists.

00:28:42.520 Yeah, that's a good

00:28:43.100 point.

00:28:43.440 They're repeaters.

00:28:44.580 You're a reporter.

00:28:45.680 We'll end it there, Sheila.

00:28:46.560 Take care.

00:28:47.200 Keep up the great work.

00:28:48.200 And I'll invite our

00:28:49.120 viewers to check out all

00:28:50.080 your vids at rebelun.com.

00:28:52.540 Take care, my friend.

00:28:53.100 I will.

00:28:55.020 Thank you, Ezra.

00:28:55.760 All right.

00:28:56.140 There you have it.

00:28:56.900 Sheila Gunn-Reed, our

00:28:57.840 Alberta Bureau Chief.

00:28:58.700 This is her third United

00:29:00.580 Nations Global Warming

00:29:01.920 Conference.

00:29:02.460 The first one, if you

00:29:04.160 recall, in Marrakesh, they

00:29:05.160 kept her out.

00:29:06.660 We pressed them.

00:29:07.440 They let her in.

00:29:08.940 Then they kicked her out 0.98

00:29:09.900 again because she was too

00:29:11.580 independent.

00:29:13.320 As the Orwellian police

00:29:15.000 would say, you've had too

00:29:16.180 much to think.

00:29:17.640 All right, folks, stay

00:29:18.320 with us.

00:29:18.820 More ahead on The Rebel.

00:29:23.100 Well, that was our friend

00:29:32.040 Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:29:33.120 Of course, she is in

00:29:34.700 Katowice, Poland, which is

00:29:36.560 eight hours ahead of Calgary,

00:29:39.020 six hours ahead of Toronto.

00:29:40.220 In the same time zone, but

00:29:42.020 across the Mediterranean, is

00:29:43.900 our friend David Menzies, who

00:29:45.220 comes to us now from Marrakesh,

00:29:48.060 Morocco.

00:29:48.760 How are you, my desert rose?

00:29:50.740 Well, it's more like guns

00:29:53.980 and roses here, Ezra, with

00:29:55.520 all the security, keeping

00:29:56.660 all the U.N.

00:29:57.780 buckety-mucks safe and 0.98

00:29:58.980 sound, you know what I'm

00:29:59.620 saying?

00:30:00.660 Yeah, there's something

00:30:01.360 ironic about a United

00:30:02.900 Nations conference to erase

00:30:04.640 our borders and remove our 1.00

00:30:07.060 border security and remove

00:30:08.820 applications and ID to come

00:30:11.040 into our country.

00:30:11.940 But boy, when it comes to

00:30:13.080 the United Nations, they have

00:30:14.920 high walls, big guns, and

00:30:16.740 they demand all sorts of

00:30:17.940 accreditation, don't they?

00:30:19.080 Oh, Ezra, you nailed it.

00:30:21.840 I mean, they're very

00:30:22.520 anti-fence, anti-borders,

00:30:24.920 anti-walls.

00:30:26.020 But you go to the U.N.

00:30:27.800 compound here in Marrakesh,

00:30:30.020 and they suddenly love fences

00:30:32.500 and walls and borders, and

00:30:34.380 not to mention bomb-sniffing

00:30:35.740 dogs and security guards with

00:30:38.380 automatic weapons and airport-

00:30:40.960 style security just to get

00:30:42.540 into the place.

00:30:43.560 So it's kind of like one rule

00:30:45.900 for the deplorables, another

00:30:48.020 rule for the elites, telling

00:30:49.840 the deplorables how to live

00:30:51.520 their lives and how to

00:30:52.980 manage migration.

00:30:54.560 Quite a double standard,

00:30:56.180 isn't it, my friend?

00:30:57.000 Yeah, well, now, I got an

00:30:58.660 email from you guys earlier

00:31:00.720 today that made me a little

00:31:01.960 bit nervous because, of

00:31:03.180 course, we applied for

00:31:05.040 official U.N.

00:31:06.280 accreditation, both for

00:31:07.480 Sheila and for you.

00:31:09.000 In both cases, it was

00:31:10.300 denied because we were not

00:31:11.960 politically supportive of the

00:31:13.340 U.N.

00:31:13.680 That's outrageous to begin with,

00:31:15.120 and it's frankly an

00:31:16.280 embarrassment to Ahmed Hassan,

00:31:19.120 the immigration minister, and

00:31:21.080 Catherine McKenna, the

00:31:21.960 environment minister, for not

00:31:23.400 pushing back on behalf of

00:31:25.220 Canadian values and Canadian

00:31:26.440 journalists.

00:31:27.340 Shame on them.

00:31:28.620 But, you know, it's one thing

00:31:30.220 for Sheila to be in Poland

00:31:31.640 without official credentials,

00:31:33.620 but you're in Morocco, which is a 0.90

00:31:35.080 pretty liberal place as Arab

00:31:36.980 countries go, but it's not

00:31:38.700 completely free.

00:31:39.680 Tell me a little bit about what

00:31:40.600 happened to you over the last

00:31:42.180 24 hours in regards to police

00:31:44.120 and your journalism.

00:31:46.600 Yeah, well, yesterday, Ezra,

00:31:48.220 as you know, we went to the

00:31:49.680 U.N.

00:31:49.940 compound, didn't get in.

00:31:51.700 The media registration people

00:31:53.340 refused our credentials based

00:31:55.560 on our behavior.

00:31:56.960 I think they mean Sheila's

00:31:58.060 behavior at previous U.N.

00:32:00.340 conferences.

00:32:01.060 I don't know.

00:32:01.660 Maybe Sheila trashed the hotel 0.99

00:32:03.720 room.

00:32:04.100 Maybe she sniffed some people 1.00

00:32:05.440 for bills.

00:32:06.100 I know you're joking around.

00:32:07.300 All she did was ask some

00:32:09.040 questions that the Canadian

00:32:12.080 delegation didn't like.

00:32:13.120 Sheila, as you know, very

00:32:14.100 well behaved.

00:32:14.640 I know you're just joking, but

00:32:16.020 for our viewers who don't know

00:32:17.360 the real truth, Sheila was

00:32:20.240 kicked out because she asked,

00:32:22.800 in a very polite tone,

00:32:24.520 skeptical questions.

00:32:25.460 So, anyhow, back.

00:32:26.020 I just wanted to let our people

00:32:27.100 know you were joking there a bit.

00:32:29.540 Oh, being complete for Jesus.

00:32:31.580 Sheila Gunn-Reed is a complete 0.99

00:32:33.400 lady, and she had the temerity to

00:32:36.300 ask questions of some U.N.

00:32:38.300 royalty who didn't want to give

00:32:41.400 answers, so I guess we're banned

00:32:43.080 in perpetuity.

00:32:44.740 But, Ezra, so we actually were

00:32:47.080 able to hang around the grounds

00:32:48.660 of the U.N.

00:32:50.000 compound, and we asked a couple

00:32:52.280 of delegates questions.

00:32:53.440 We met somebody from the

00:32:54.480 alternative for Germany party.

00:32:57.960 Today we went down, and not only

00:33:00.420 did we not get onto the grounds,

00:33:01.940 we didn't even get past the front

00:33:03.460 gates, which is a few football

00:33:05.020 fields away from the grounds of the

00:33:06.600 compound.

00:33:06.940 The police there were wondering

00:33:10.520 why we didn't have our proper

00:33:11.880 credentials, and they looked into

00:33:14.400 it, saying, we're going to find out

00:33:15.960 if you're allowed just to be on the

00:33:17.480 outside.

00:33:18.540 But today, even that was too much to

00:33:20.760 ask.

00:33:21.560 And the police were very polite.

00:33:23.680 And this is not on the police here in

00:33:25.500 Morocco.

00:33:26.320 They were very polite.

00:33:27.540 They were doing their job.

00:33:28.740 I'm trying to do my job, and Justin's

00:33:30.540 trying to do his job.

00:33:32.240 And by Justin, you're referring to our

00:33:33.700 videographer.

00:33:35.380 Correct.

00:33:35.780 Doing fantastic work.

00:33:37.780 And what this is on, Ezra, is it's on

00:33:42.480 the U.N., and more specifically, it's

00:33:44.540 on Canada, which gets to bet and

00:33:47.820 approve the media from Canada.

00:33:51.260 And obviously, we're on the DTM dead

00:33:54.860 to me list.

00:33:55.560 As a matter of fact, just 10 minutes

00:33:56.860 ago, I got off the line holding for one

00:33:59.440 hour, Ezra, for a press conference

00:34:02.660 conducted by Minister Hussain.

00:34:05.720 And guess what?

00:34:07.260 He didn't get over to us for our one

00:34:10.020 question.

00:34:10.720 Somehow we got lost in the shuffle.

00:34:12.540 So isn't that typical?

00:34:14.300 We didn't even have the testicular

00:34:16.560 fortitude to take one question from us,

00:34:19.840 even though we're one of the few media

00:34:21.740 from Canada that has flown thousands of

00:34:24.280 miles here to take in the conference.

00:34:27.280 Yeah, you know what?

00:34:27.920 I believe that people from anywhere in

00:34:30.660 the world can become great Canadians,

00:34:33.900 can embrace Canadian values.

00:34:36.380 But one of Canada's values is a free

00:34:38.920 press, an independent press, a press that

00:34:41.760 can criticize the government, and a

00:34:43.620 government that can take it.

00:34:45.180 I believe that Ahmed Hassan is not

00:34:47.600 reflecting Canadian values.

00:34:49.880 In fact, I think he's too much in the

00:34:51.560 United Nations values, or even values of

00:34:53.900 Somalia, where he grew up, to disparage

00:34:55.920 and attack the rebels, ideologically is

00:34:59.660 one thing, to refuse to take questions

00:35:02.440 from us is one thing, but to support

00:35:05.820 passively or actively, I don't know

00:35:08.120 which, our being banned from a UN

00:35:11.540 conference is a disgrace.

00:35:13.900 And I think he's only too pleased to

00:35:17.660 ban us, and I think that's a sign of a 1.00

00:35:19.720 lot more to come, the kind of banning

00:35:21.820 and marginalization as Canada becomes

00:35:24.400 more like the UN, instead of the UN

00:35:26.740 becoming more like Canada.

00:35:28.520 You know, and Ezra, this is not a

00:35:30.760 partisan issue.

00:35:31.860 If the Stephen Harper Conservatives were

00:35:34.320 still in power, and they did this to a

00:35:36.920 left-leaning Canadian media outlet, I

00:35:39.440 would have the same condemnation.

00:35:41.380 I mean, either you believe in a free press

00:35:43.080 or you don't.

00:35:43.900 And funny enough, one of the journalists

00:35:45.420 on the conference call that asked him

00:35:47.380 about, as you know, Ezra, there's some

00:35:49.320 language in there about monitoring how the

00:35:52.480 media portray migrants and how they should

00:35:56.680 be corrected if necessary, or if government

00:35:58.920 funded, have that funding removed.

00:36:01.240 This is right in the UN compact.

00:36:02.880 Yeah, paragraph 33c.

00:36:05.280 I happen to know that.

00:36:06.420 I've read that so many times.

00:36:08.280 I would encourage all our viewers, Google

00:36:10.260 Global Compact for Migration.

00:36:13.020 It comes up really quickly.

00:36:14.880 Look at paragraph 33c.

00:36:17.020 Anyway, sorry, back to you, David.

00:36:18.680 Someone asked about that on the conference

00:36:20.020 call?

00:36:21.160 And Minister Sen went chapter and verse

00:36:24.640 bragging about the kind of free press

00:36:27.800 and press freedom that we have in Canada.

00:36:30.640 Meanwhile, he's banned us, and he won't

00:36:32.520 even, on this very same conference call,

00:36:34.940 where he's taking questions from all kinds

00:36:36.720 of journalists, won't even take one from

00:36:38.720 rebel media.

00:36:39.480 Well, he's a bit of a coward that way,

00:36:41.180 and no surprise.

00:36:42.380 The Trudeau government only likes questions

00:36:46.200 from, you know, the likes of Rosemary

00:36:48.620 Barton of the state broadcaster.

00:36:50.040 I don't know if you saw her interview

00:36:52.240 with Trudeau.

00:36:53.180 It really felt like it was something out

00:36:55.160 of The Bachelor as some reality dating

00:36:57.400 show.

00:36:58.200 Well, David, we're having a bit of a fun

00:37:01.360 meta conversation about the conference,

00:37:04.020 sort of like I had with Sheila a moment

00:37:05.480 ago from Poland.

00:37:06.640 But you have been doing some very

00:37:07.940 substantive reports on this conference,

00:37:10.840 and they're going to be posted at

00:37:12.260 rebelun.com.

00:37:13.560 I know you've got some videos in the

00:37:15.040 pipeline to us.

00:37:16.240 Just tell our viewers some of the subjects

00:37:18.400 that you've covered in your couple of days

00:37:20.960 on the ground.

00:37:22.380 Well, first of all, we went over the hypocrisy

00:37:25.200 of how the UN is very much anti-fence,

00:37:28.820 anti-wall, except when it comes to their own

00:37:31.080 conferences.

00:37:32.200 Secondly, Ezra, I was struck by the perverse

00:37:35.160 irony that, as you mentioned, Sheila's in Poland

00:37:38.040 covering the climate change conference there.

00:37:43.080 And meanwhile, at this UN conference, if you

00:37:46.400 looked at the parking lot, you would swear you

00:37:48.620 were in a Mercedes-Benz dealership.

00:37:51.360 And we're not talking B-class.

00:37:53.200 We're talking S-class, some of which are

00:37:55.640 bulletproof.

00:37:56.580 I mean, these are six-figure rides.

00:37:58.280 These are V8 spewing carbon monster machines.

00:38:01.980 So no bicycles, no hybrids, nothing like that 1.00

00:38:06.120 when it comes to chauffeuring their people around.

00:38:09.580 And also, I think the hypocrisy in terms of

00:38:12.900 the Canadian initiative here, we've talked about

00:38:16.120 how they haven't gone to bat and rebel.

00:38:18.080 In fact, they've done everything they can to

00:38:20.160 keep us out of the conference.

00:38:22.840 But more importantly, why couldn't we at least

00:38:26.000 have a debate in the House of Commons?

00:38:29.660 I mean, Andrew Scheer, just before the conference

00:38:31.560 started, resembling something that looked like

00:38:34.560 a backbone, condemned this.

00:38:37.440 And of course, Gerald Butts, Trudeau's puppet

00:38:40.280 master, played the whole alt-right, far-right

00:38:43.940 card against Andrew Scheer.

00:38:46.840 And yet, little Latvia in Eastern Europe, in their

00:38:49.820 parliament, they can have a debate about this.

00:38:52.620 Because they remember, they have only been a free

00:38:55.600 country for, you know, 20-odd years since the

00:38:59.140 fall of the Soviet Union.

00:39:00.520 So they still value democracy and freedom and

00:39:03.940 sovereignty.

00:39:04.720 You know, it's insane and absurd to call anyone who

00:39:07.780 doesn't want to be part of this open borders

00:39:09.700 migration pact alt-right.

00:39:11.460 Israel has said it doesn't want to be part of it.

00:39:14.740 Chile, the South American country, doesn't want 1.00

00:39:17.140 to be part of it.

00:39:18.200 Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia.

00:39:21.580 I think there's a crisis in the Dutch parliament

00:39:24.300 over this very thing.

00:39:25.560 The only countries in the world that love this

00:39:29.060 migrant pact are the countries that no one ever

00:39:30.800 wants to go to.

00:39:31.480 No one is banging down the doors to get into

00:39:33.980 Pakistan.

00:39:35.040 No one says, I really want to go to Afghanistan and

00:39:37.860 start a new life.

00:39:38.760 So, you know, the fact that those countries sign

00:39:41.040 on, Senegal, Gambia, whatever, no one cares that

00:39:44.660 they sign it because people flee those countries.

00:39:47.820 It's the wonderful West that has to have the walls.

00:39:52.320 And country after country in Europe, at least, is saying

00:39:55.100 no thanks.

00:39:55.860 Last one to you, David.

00:39:57.020 What do you hope to accomplish in the rest of your

00:39:58.840 time there in Morocco?

00:40:01.180 Well, you know, the conference has ended.

00:40:03.440 It was only a short two-day conference.

00:40:05.760 But again, it's to expose the hypocrisy.

00:40:09.660 And again, Ezra, when you read the compact, the 30-odd

00:40:13.560 pages, one thing that stood out was that we're talking

00:40:16.960 about that migration must be a human rights initiative and

00:40:21.620 that it must be a gender initiative, too.

00:40:25.140 And yet, you look at the type of countries that make up the

00:40:29.240 U.N. Human Rights Council.

00:40:31.500 You know, we're talking Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, China.

00:40:37.360 I'm going off the top of my head here.

00:40:39.300 But many others that have the most atrocious records when it

00:40:44.020 comes to human rights and gender rights.

00:40:47.400 And so, you know, and by the way, the Human Rights Council is

00:40:51.180 obsessed with seemingly one thing, and that is resolution after

00:40:54.960 resolution of condemning Israel, the one true democracy in the 0.99

00:40:58.760 Middle East.

00:40:59.620 So when it comes to gender rights, human rights, wow, the U.N.,

00:41:03.320 they know how to talk the talk.

00:41:05.060 But when it comes to walking the walk, forget it.

00:41:07.780 All smoke, Ezra.

00:41:08.900 All right, David.

00:41:10.160 Well, thanks for going over there and reporting.

00:41:13.000 And I look forward to seeing all your substandard videos on

00:41:15.700 rebelun.com.

00:41:17.600 And when you fly back to Canada?

00:41:20.540 We are flying back tomorrow morning.

00:41:23.040 And we will and we'll be back, I guess, sometime in the wee hours of

00:41:28.580 Thursday to Canada.

00:41:30.060 And I have to say, Morocco is a very nice country, very, I would say,

00:41:34.460 amongst the Arab nations of the Middle East, very liberal.

00:41:37.080 And just to go back, one other point about all this uber security you saw

00:41:41.000 at the U.N. building to tie it into something you said, Ezra, I think it's

00:41:45.260 real.

00:41:45.580 They're really overplaying their hand there because the countries that

00:41:49.780 support this kind of open migration, they wouldn't come and attack this.

00:41:56.380 And this is what they want.

00:41:57.680 They don't want borders.

00:41:59.300 They want no one is illegal.

00:42:01.580 They want migration to be an enshrined human right.

00:42:05.520 So I think they spent a ton of money for nothing on the security, given that the

00:42:11.780 bad guys, so to speak, want this to go through.

00:42:14.820 Right.

00:42:15.380 Well, I mean, I think the bad guys would want to sow fear, terror and chaos, even

00:42:19.260 if they were killing some allies.

00:42:22.080 But I take your point on that, that these mass migrations have been a wonderful

00:42:26.700 way for ISIS and other terrorist groups to embed themselves in with these teeming hordes

00:42:32.780 of humanity.

00:42:34.600 Yes.

00:42:35.320 Terrorists in Europe have absolutely, a number of terrorists have absolutely come in the name

00:42:42.300 of being refugees.

00:42:43.040 That's been going on for several years now.

00:42:45.240 David, great to catch up with you.

00:42:46.380 Thanks for taking the time.

00:42:48.140 My pleasure, Ezra.

00:42:49.000 Thank you so much.

00:42:49.760 All right, there you have it, our friend David Menzies coming to us from the middle

00:42:54.020 of the night from Marrakesh, Morocco.

00:42:57.060 Again, an entertaining conversation about the trip itself, but I recommend that you go

00:43:02.580 to rebelun.com to see his actual reports from the conference.

00:43:08.220 Stay with us.

00:43:08.900 More ahead on The Rebel.

00:43:09.560 Hey, welcome back on my show yesterday on the UN Global Warming Conference in Poland

00:43:25.060 and the UN Conference on the Global Compact for Migration.

00:43:28.220 Liza writes, all you have to do is check out the actual agreement to know that they are

00:43:32.380 lying.

00:43:33.760 Yeah, it's so easy to find.

00:43:34.940 And I can't believe all these pundits are repeating the same talking board.

00:43:39.800 It's non-binding.

00:43:40.660 It's non-binding.

00:43:41.020 It absolutely is an agreement for implementation that they are already applying.

00:43:47.460 I'm not worried that, I don't know, Czechoslovakia, well, they're actually not even signing.

00:43:51.580 I'm not worried that Yemen is going to press us to follow the Global Compact for Migration.

00:43:57.660 I don't care about Yemen or about Turkey.

00:43:59.980 Maybe it's individual migrants who now have this document in their hands as they go to

00:44:05.500 our Immigration and Refugee Board.

00:44:07.080 I'm not worried about being bound by some UN debate.

00:44:12.000 I'm talking about someone who walks across the border, lands at an airport, arrives on

00:44:18.420 a boat even, and says, oh yeah, I've got this Global Compact for Migration.

00:44:22.460 My rights are listed here 112 times.

00:44:24.820 I want them.

00:44:25.520 And by the way, as I showed you, our Immigration and Refugee Protection Act specifically says

00:44:32.540 Section 33F, if I'm going from memory, that when we sign an international document like

00:44:38.300 that, it is how we interpret our Canadian laws.

00:44:41.480 So that's what I'm worried about.

00:44:42.680 I'm not worried about some foreign country sparring with us over it.

00:44:47.400 I'm worried about what it really does is create a human right for migration.

00:44:50.900 Betty writes, famous last words on the compact, it's non-binding.

00:44:57.180 It is not non-binding.

00:44:59.160 And if it was non-binding, then it wouldn't matter if we signed it or not, would it?

00:45:05.860 But they're obsessed by it.

00:45:08.040 They're adamant that we sign it.

00:45:09.760 They're outraged that anyone would not.

00:45:12.620 Bruce writes, good answer regarding climate change.

00:45:15.540 Climate change, it always changes, let's all remember, when some naive fool or smart

00:45:19.400 pants person asks that dumb question. 0.98

00:45:22.180 Yeah, look, I mean, of course climate changes.

00:45:25.880 You know, when I was at Lance O'Meadows in Newfoundland, if you ever go to Newfoundland,

00:45:30.080 may I recommend going to Lance O'Meadows?

00:45:32.300 It is where the Vikings set foot in Newfoundland.

00:45:36.340 And the temperature was so much warmer then.

00:45:40.700 It was called the medieval optimal.

00:45:43.860 That's what climatologists call that beautiful period about a thousand years ago.

00:45:48.280 They called it optimal.

00:45:50.480 It was so warm, Greenland was green.

00:45:55.240 They had vineyards in the United Kingdom.

00:45:58.080 And I think they planted vineyards in Newfoundland.

00:46:00.360 Could you imagine that?

00:46:01.720 That's what two degrees warmer means.

00:46:04.180 It means an extra month of growing.

00:46:07.120 It means really warm and moist summers.

00:46:10.640 That's how nice it was when the Vikings came.

00:46:13.880 And I was actually shocked that anything like a museum that's under the oversight of the

00:46:19.740 federal government would still mention that the earth was two degrees warmer then.

00:46:24.460 Because that shows that we're cooler now and the earth oscillates in temperature naturally.

00:46:30.540 And those Viking ships weren't burning fossil fuels.

00:46:34.180 Folks, that's our show for today.

00:46:36.500 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night.

00:46:40.200 And keep fighting for freedom.

00:46:41.200 We'll see you next time.

00:46:41.960 Next time, Administration.

00:46:44.060 We'll see you.

00:46:44.400 We'll be right back.

00:46:45.120 Bye-bye.

00:46:50.440 Bye-bye.

00:46:51.000 Bye-bye.

00:46:51.080 Bye-bye.

00:46:51.320 Bye-bye.

00:46:52.340 Bye-bye.

00:46:53.480 Bye-bye.

00:46:55.500 Bye-bye.

00:46:57.920 Bye-bye.

00:46:59.480 Bye-bye.

00:46:59.960 Bye-bye.

00:47:02.060 Bye-bye.

00:47:05.000 Bye-bye.

00:47:09.480 Bye-bye.

00:47:10.160 Bye-bye.
