00:00:00.000 Tonight, the liberal stranglehold on Atlantic Canada is broken as conservatives win in New Brunswick.
00:00:06.200 Is it contagious? It's September 25th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:16.060 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:19.880 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:23.580 You come here once a year with a sign and you feel morally superior.
00:00:26.580 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.
00:00:37.320 I think it sort of sneaked up on me.
00:00:39.200 Last night, New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party beat the governing Liberal Party.
00:00:44.560 It was pretty close.
00:00:45.960 The Liberals won 21 seats and the Conservatives won 22 seats.
00:00:50.000 But I think there's 49 seats in the whole legislature, so neither party won a majority.
00:00:55.020 There are two minor parties that won seats.
00:00:57.480 The Green Party moved up from one seat to three.
00:00:59.920 And a party I had never heard of before, to be candid, it's called the People's Alliance Party.
00:01:04.760 Have you ever heard of them?
00:01:06.040 They went from zero seats to three.
00:01:08.120 And despite that somewhat socialist-sounding name, the People's Alliance,
00:01:12.480 they're actually to the right to the Progressive Conservatives if I'm reading their party platform correctly.
00:01:17.420 So even if the Greens back the Liberals, that's 44 seats.
00:01:21.480 If the People's Alliance backs the Tories, that's 45 seats by my math.
00:01:25.920 So that's a slim majority.
00:01:28.300 Now, the Liberals being naturally sore losers.
00:01:30.480 And Brian Gallant, the Liberal Premier who just lost, being a lawyer, as many Liberals are,
00:01:35.680 they're looking to try some trick to hold on to power.
00:01:37.580 It's a move they picked up from another sore loser, Hillary Clinton,
00:01:40.400 another lawyer who keeps petty fogging that she won the popular vote, yada, yada, yada.
00:01:44.760 Now, look, just concede defeat and keep your dignity, okay?
00:01:48.540 I understand that constitutionally, Brian Gallant has the right to stay on as Premier
00:01:54.320 until he loses a vote of non-confidence.
00:01:56.100 But seriously, why are you dragging it out, fella?
00:01:58.780 Brian Gallant wasn't particularly successful when he was Premier, when he had a majority.
00:02:03.480 He stood pretty much quiet as a church mouse,
00:02:05.940 as Justin Trudeau destroyed the best economic hope for his province in a generation.
00:02:10.380 Remember that $15.7 billion construction project?
00:02:16.540 All private money, by the way, no government funds.
00:02:19.720 It's called the Energy East Pipeline.
00:02:21.360 Would have taken oil from Alberta to New Brunswick.
00:02:23.740 Would have created thousands of construction jobs along the way, of course.
00:02:27.520 And it would have brought Canadian ethical oil in from the oil sands
00:02:30.960 to replace New Brunswick imports of OPEC conflict oil that feed that big refinery in St. John.
00:02:37.020 And it would have been an export pipeline, too.
00:02:38.640 Oh, tankers from New Brunswick could have sailed with oil to India.
00:02:43.360 For example, I was surprised to learn this.
00:02:45.460 It's actually closer to sail from the Atlantic to India
00:02:50.280 than to sail all the way across the Pacific, past China to India.
00:02:55.320 Isn't that amazing?
00:02:56.040 It's quicker from New Brunswick.
00:02:57.420 So, a huge opportunity.
00:02:59.900 But Brian Gallant and his Liberals just watched as Justin Trudeau
00:03:02.700 and the more important Liberals, like the mayor of Montreal at the time,
00:03:06.800 Denis Coderre, destroyed the Energy East Pipeline.
00:03:09.320 Gallant didn't say a peep about that.
00:03:11.960 He didn't fight for his province.
00:03:13.420 He put his Liberal boss, Trudeau, and his deputy boss, Denis Coderre, first.
00:03:18.240 Only when the pipeline was canceled did he say,
00:03:21.160 Oh, yeah, I guess this is bad.
00:03:23.960 Hey, guys, please come back.
00:03:26.320 Yeah, they ain't never coming back, Brian,
00:03:27.860 but it would have been nice to have heard from you before they left.
00:03:31.100 So, anyways, good riddance and good luck to the new team.
00:03:33.920 But can I tell you what I think this election means for the rest of us?
00:03:37.340 Now, take it with a grain of salt.
00:03:38.280 As you know, I am not an expert in things New Brunswicky.
00:03:40.540 I've been in the province a couple of times,
00:03:42.480 and as all of our Atlantic provinces are,
00:03:44.020 it is chock full of the nicest people in the world.
00:03:47.380 I highly recommend any Atlantic province for vacation.
00:03:52.580 But when you go to New Brunswick in particular,
00:03:55.320 you can't help but notice that it's a bit economically weak.
00:03:59.820 It feels a little bit run down economically.
00:04:02.340 I mean, other than the monopolist Irving family
00:04:04.680 that owns much of the media there,
00:04:06.040 owns that big OPEC-fueled oil refinery there,
00:04:08.600 there's not a lot of economic action going on.
00:04:10.920 It's not buzzing.
00:04:12.620 People are leaving,
00:04:13.900 especially young people who want to start families.
00:04:15.820 New Brunswick was actually the only province
00:04:18.020 in the last census to shrink
00:04:20.460 because new industry just really isn't welcome there,
00:04:24.080 not just the pipeline.
00:04:25.880 Fracking is banned there, too.
00:04:27.820 I don't know if you remember a few years back
00:04:29.020 when the Sierra Club whipped up rioters.
00:04:31.760 They had a riot.
00:04:33.640 They attacked fracking trucks.
00:04:35.440 They torched five police cars.
00:04:37.720 This is that sort of ride there.
00:04:39.120 Young people got the message,
00:04:40.300 look, if you want to have good work,
00:04:43.020 move to Ontario, move to the West.
00:04:44.760 So New Brunswick's population is shrinking.
00:04:48.260 And those who remain behind it,
00:04:49.720 well, they're the obvious,
00:04:50.680 obviously senior citizens who aren't going to move.
00:04:53.940 So New Brunswick's population is the oldest in the country.
00:04:56.980 And look at this.
00:04:58.960 Nominally, do you see that?
00:05:01.320 New Brunswick has an unemployment rate of 8.3%.
00:05:04.720 That's a jump of almost a point in the last month, by the way.
00:05:08.380 But it doesn't sound that disastrous, right?
00:05:11.620 But look at this other number.
00:05:12.760 It's called the labor participation rate.
00:05:14.820 It's just 61.3%.
00:05:17.100 Now compare that to, say, 64.2% in Ontario
00:05:20.580 or 72.1% abroad,
00:05:23.240 and that's a lot of numbers.
00:05:24.060 But it means that,
00:05:26.140 sure, 8.3% of New Brunswickers
00:05:28.000 who are looking for work can't find work.
00:05:29.580 But there are 10% fewer New Brunswickers
00:05:32.480 even looking for work,
00:05:34.340 even interested in work,
00:05:35.880 than, say, in Alberta.
00:05:37.920 They're just giving up,
00:05:38.960 or they're retired,
00:05:39.840 or they just don't care.
00:05:41.080 So don't be surprised that I'm not
00:05:43.340 with headlines like this.
00:05:45.700 New Brunswick reveals $9.6 billion budget
00:05:48.000 with 11th straight deficit.
00:05:50.560 You, of course, don't look all the young,
00:05:52.200 working-age, tax-paying people
00:05:54.920 who drive an economy.
00:05:55.800 They're leaving.
00:05:56.480 There's no pipelines allowed.
00:05:57.640 There's no fracking allowed.
00:05:58.660 Really, no more coal mines,
00:06:00.840 no more forestry.
00:06:01.900 So you can just hang around
00:06:02.860 and watch everybody leave.
00:06:03.860 It's fine if you're retired, I guess,
00:06:05.520 or work for the government.
00:06:06.640 It's poor there,
00:06:07.620 at least by comparison
00:06:08.600 to the rest of the country.
00:06:09.500 Did you notice the third poorest province
00:06:11.140 in territory,
00:06:12.500 measured by per capita GDP?
00:06:14.400 It's poorer than Newfoundland.
00:06:16.460 So I sort of thought,
00:06:17.540 okay, it's going to be liberal forever there, right?
00:06:20.020 Maybe with a splash of NDP thrown in.
00:06:22.780 I mean, we've seen the province.
00:06:24.120 It's anti-development, anti-construction,
00:06:25.720 anti-jobs, anti-oil, anti-gas,
00:06:27.540 anti-forestry, anti-coal,
00:06:29.040 just a bunch of retirees and bureaucrats.
00:06:31.400 But no!
00:06:32.360 And what's so interesting about the vote last night
00:06:34.180 is not just that the liberal lock
00:06:36.560 on Atlantic Canada has now been broken,
00:06:38.820 but that the old two-party system
00:06:40.740 for so long dominant,
00:06:41.920 in the Atlantic especially,
00:06:42.940 is broken too.
00:06:43.720 And not by the NDP this time.
00:06:45.580 The NDP just got 5% of the vote last night.
00:06:48.700 Not even one seat.
00:06:49.940 So much for Jagmeet Singh
00:06:51.340 having coattails in any province.
00:06:54.200 I know it's a different party provincially,
00:06:56.700 but still,
00:06:57.900 the NDP got crushed in New Brunswick.
00:07:00.140 Their vote shrank
00:07:01.620 from 13% last time down to 5%.
00:07:05.200 A lot of that obviously went to the Greens,
00:07:08.060 who grew in almost the opposite direction.
00:07:11.300 They had 6% last time,
00:07:12.900 and they got 12% this time.
00:07:14.700 But can I point out the most interesting result to me?
00:07:16.880 It's this people's party business.
00:07:18.380 13% of the vote,
00:07:20.440 up from just 2% last time.
00:07:23.120 Here's a party platform.
00:07:24.620 It's a little bit homemade,
00:07:26.120 but I like that.
00:07:27.160 It feels friendly and neighborly,
00:07:28.720 and authentic's not too slick.
00:07:31.400 They do have one video on their website
00:07:33.480 that's sort of slick.
00:07:34.960 Here, take a look at it.
00:07:35.720 It's 30 seconds.
00:07:36.820 Do you ever wonder why your taxes are so high?
00:07:39.720 Successive governments have raised taxes year after year,
00:07:42.440 while also borrowing money
00:07:43.640 and running huge deficits.
00:07:45.280 Your hard-earned tax dollars
00:07:46.400 are used to subsidize big corporate interests,
00:07:48.780 pet political projects,
00:07:50.060 and unnecessary dual services.
00:07:52.040 The People's Alliance will take a different approach
00:07:53.980 by abolishing the double tax
00:07:55.580 and eliminating corporate welfare.
00:07:57.380 We will also end duality,
00:07:58.780 saving millions
00:07:59.420 and bringing our cultures together.
00:08:01.260 To find out how you can help,

00:08:05.740 I like that.
00:08:06.840 And did you get that not-so-subtle point at the end?
00:08:08.820 They're against the bizarre New Brunswick conceit
00:08:11.380 of having double everything
00:08:12.400 as a form of affirmative action
00:08:14.280 for the French-language minority.
00:08:15.700 But it's friendly.
00:08:17.080 It's not mean about it, is it?
00:08:18.560 It talks about unifying the community,
00:08:20.440 not having linguistic segregation.
00:08:23.020 I really like that.
00:08:24.200 That's a cultural message, isn't it?
00:08:25.480 Not just a financial message.
00:08:27.440 These guys came in third with 12.5% of the vote.
00:08:29.560 By the way,
00:08:30.160 if you add up the three smaller parties,
00:08:32.780 the People's Alliance,
00:08:34.100 the Green Party,
00:08:34.840 and the NDP,
00:08:36.560 you're getting about 32% of the vote,
00:08:38.200 which is what the winning conservatives got.
00:08:40.980 As in the old mold is broken,
00:08:42.720 wouldn't you say?
00:08:43.220 And I can't help but thinking,
00:08:46.000 perhaps the name is so similar,
00:08:48.680 maybe that's why,
00:08:49.540 maybe Maxime Bernier's federal People's Party,
00:08:52.660 isn't this a crazy idea after all,
00:08:54.220 if the People's Alliance Party
00:08:55.600 did well in New Brunswick,
00:08:56.860 out of the blue?
00:08:57.380 I mean,
00:08:57.840 in fact,
00:08:58.220 maybe people are getting sick
00:08:59.420 of the Tweedledee and Tweedledum
00:09:00.760 of the old line parties.
00:09:02.620 And yes,
00:09:03.120 I have to tell you
00:09:03.820 that the federal conservative party,
00:09:05.340 Andrew Scheer,
00:09:05.940 is absolutely
00:09:06.620 an establishment party,
00:09:09.080 risk-averse party these days.
00:09:10.340 Absolutely.
00:09:11.980 I was involved with the populist
00:09:13.540 old reform party back in the day.
00:09:15.740 That party is 100% dead.
00:09:18.640 And so is much of the flavorful
00:09:20.120 conservatism of it.
00:09:21.380 I wonder if this New Brunswick result
00:09:23.380 is a bit of a premonition,
00:09:24.840 even though it's a smallish province
00:09:26.360 that traditionally hasn't been conservative.
00:09:28.160 Here are some lessons I think
00:09:29.260 we can learn from New Brunswick.
00:09:30.360 Again,
00:09:30.800 I am not an expert
00:09:31.740 on that lovely province,
00:09:32.820 but maybe there are some simple things
00:09:34.480 we can take away from this
00:09:35.520 just with amateur observations.
00:09:37.760 The first is,
00:09:38.460 obviously,
00:09:39.020 the liberals aren't quite as strong
00:09:41.600 as the media party suggests they are.
00:09:44.080 I mean,
00:09:44.240 first there was the Ontario election
00:09:45.760 where Kathleen Wynne's liberals
00:09:46.760 who had a ton of help
00:09:48.080 from Trudeau's liberals.
00:09:49.100 They flew in their whole campaign team.
00:09:50.920 They still got slaughtered
00:09:52.080 by a very populist conservative
00:09:53.900 who didn't even really run so much
00:09:55.780 on the party's name,
00:09:57.140 progressive conservative.
00:09:58.280 He ran on his own name,
00:09:59.500 Ford Nation,
00:10:00.600 as he calls it.
00:10:01.520 And his motto was
00:10:02.680 for the people.
00:10:03.880 He even had a campaign song,
00:10:05.340 sort of folk song type
00:10:06.400 for the people it was called.
00:10:07.660 Maybe there's something there,
00:10:08.920 this populism,
00:10:09.620 a bit of patriotism,
00:10:10.780 a little bit of smaller government
00:10:11.740 for sure,
00:10:12.180 but that cultural meaning too
00:10:13.420 that we saw
00:10:14.220 in that People's Alliance ad.
00:10:16.120 First,
00:10:16.540 Ontario threw off the liberals
00:10:17.720 and the liberal media.
00:10:19.460 Now,
00:10:19.820 New Brunswick
00:10:20.360 has thrown off the liberals
00:10:21.320 and the liberal media.
00:10:24.040 I think Quebec could be next.
00:10:26.560 The party that is ascendant
00:10:28.160 in Quebec
00:10:28.680 is not the liberals,
00:10:29.720 and it's not the traditional
00:10:30.720 rival to the liberals
00:10:32.200 for the past 40 years,
00:10:33.940 the Parti Quebecois.
00:10:35.100 It's a new party,
00:10:36.160 the Coalition Avenir Quebec,
00:10:38.540 C-A-Q,
00:10:39.200 the CAC,
00:10:40.560 which is to the right
00:10:41.360 of the other parties,
00:10:42.080 not just economically,
00:10:42.940 but on those cultural issues too.
00:10:44.500 They have the toughest position
00:10:45.480 on burqas and Islam
00:10:47.180 in Quebec society,
00:10:48.440 and they don't care
00:10:49.020 who calls them names.
00:10:50.940 Look at this poll.
00:10:51.520 You can see the CAC
00:10:52.440 and the liberals
00:10:53.300 sort of duking it out
00:10:54.260 in first place there.
00:10:55.160 They're both at 30%.
00:10:56.340 This is the latest
00:10:57.140 Ipsos poll.
00:10:59.580 The Parti Quebecois
00:11:00.260 is back at just 20%.
00:11:01.760 Do you see that?
00:11:02.740 There's no chance
00:11:03.440 they're going to be government.
00:11:04.140 And do you see
00:11:04.960 that far left party
00:11:06.080 that's climbing up
00:11:06.760 that orange line there?
00:11:08.360 Quebec Solidaire?
00:11:10.140 That's basically
00:11:10.960 a Marxist Muslim party.
00:11:13.960 Their most famous leaders
00:11:14.800 are Amir Qadir,
00:11:16.840 born in Iran.
00:11:18.340 He's an anti-American
00:11:19.360 and anti-Israel agitator.
00:11:21.640 And this guy,
00:11:22.700 Gabriel Nadeau Dubois,
00:11:24.360 the guy right in the middle there,
00:11:25.680 the radical student protester,
00:11:27.460 and that lady on the left
00:11:28.220 just yesterday
00:11:29.320 declared the party communist.
00:11:30.640 They call themselves
00:11:32.540 communist people
00:11:33.500 and they're at 16%
00:11:35.020 and climbing.
00:11:36.780 My point is,
00:11:37.520 I think the CAC might win,
00:11:40.120 but my bigger point is
00:11:41.040 people are obviously
00:11:41.680 dissatisfied
00:11:42.300 with the status quo parties.
00:11:43.820 They're embracing
00:11:44.340 the more passionate parties
00:11:46.020 on the left and the right.
00:11:48.880 In New Brunswick,
00:11:49.460 32% of the people did.
00:11:51.240 Not just the NDP Greens,
00:11:53.220 but the NDP and the Liberals,
00:11:55.040 but the Greens
00:11:55.940 and the People's Party.
00:11:58.200 Here it's the CAC
00:11:59.240 and the Solidaire
00:12:00.780 and the parties
00:12:01.320 in the Muslim Middle
00:12:01.960 are fratting away.
00:12:02.860 If that new Ipsos poll
00:12:04.140 in Quebec is right,
00:12:05.720 more than 50% of Quebecers
00:12:08.240 are going to a new
00:12:10.300 or newish party.
00:12:13.640 Again, maybe that mad Max Bernier
00:12:15.380 isn't so mad after all, eh?
00:12:17.240 And maybe the legacy media
00:12:18.380 is too enamored
00:12:19.320 with the political legacy parties.
00:12:23.600 Maybe they're just as hated
00:12:24.960 as those old parties.
00:12:25.860 I know they are.
00:12:27.320 It's one of the reasons
00:12:28.080 why more people watch us
00:12:29.220 here at the Rebel,
00:12:29.980 our teeny tiny little company,
00:12:31.840 than watch the BS
00:12:32.700 on CBC's The National.
00:12:34.400 Any given night,
00:12:35.000 we have more trafficking
00:12:35.680 than they do,
00:12:36.360 even though we have
00:12:37.080 less than 1%
00:12:38.220 of the CBC's annual budget
00:12:39.920 because people are done
00:12:41.240 with the tired,
00:12:42.600 old, self-interested elites,
00:12:44.040 be they in media or politics,
00:12:45.580 which these days
00:12:46.440 is pretty much the same thing.
00:12:48.840 Now, I mentioned
00:12:49.600 that a big issue in Quebec
00:12:50.640 is the open border
00:12:52.120 with New York.
00:12:52.780 These folks just walking right up.
00:12:54.960 As you know,
00:12:55.500 Justin Trudeau tweeted
00:12:56.840 that the whole world
00:12:57.740 is welcome
00:12:58.260 to just walk across
00:13:00.160 illegally into Canada
00:13:01.060 and only 1% of those
00:13:02.500 who have walked across
00:13:03.540 illegally have been deported.
00:13:05.100 99% of them are still here.
00:13:07.640 That is so outrageous
00:13:08.620 to so many Quebecers
00:13:10.080 that even Andrew Scheer,
00:13:12.160 Blandrew Scheer,
00:13:13.920 who is too terrified
00:13:14.760 to say anything
00:13:15.480 about the quantity
00:13:16.220 or the quality
00:13:16.940 of immigration in Canada
00:13:17.860 for fear of being called
00:13:19.160 an Islamophobe,
00:13:20.080 transphobe,
00:13:21.480 you know,
00:13:21.740 vegetarian-phobe-phobe.
00:13:24.140 Even he filmed
00:13:25.060 a very carefully worded
00:13:26.040 campaign ad
00:13:26.800 for a recent Quebec
00:13:27.600 by-election
00:13:28.120 by going to the border.
00:13:30.540 And wouldn't you know,
00:13:31.360 the Conservatives won
00:13:32.400 on the strength
00:13:33.240 of that immigration issue.
00:13:34.720 So that's a big deal
00:13:35.520 in Quebec.
00:13:37.400 Was it also part
00:13:38.480 of the subject,
00:13:40.140 part of the debate
00:13:40.840 in New Brunswick too?
00:13:42.080 Now, we will never know
00:13:43.900 because if you have to rely
00:13:46.280 on the New Brunswick media,
00:13:47.420 it's dominated
00:13:48.360 by two companies.
00:13:49.420 The Irving family
00:13:50.300 owns half the media
00:13:51.620 and half the province
00:13:52.720 and the CBC.
00:13:54.180 So they don't cover stories,
00:13:56.640 they cover up stories.
00:13:58.560 That's my view.
00:13:59.240 But you know,
00:13:59.620 I mentioned how
00:14:00.360 New Brunswick's population
00:14:01.900 is shrinking,
00:14:03.220 at least according
00:14:04.500 to 2016 census.
00:14:06.100 That was the headline
00:14:07.700 I showed you.
00:14:08.240 But look at this.
00:14:09.960 Justin Trudeau thought
00:14:10.860 he would solve
00:14:11.800 that shrinking population
00:14:13.060 by putting his Syrian migrants
00:14:17.620 in the province.
00:14:19.480 No language skills,
00:14:21.260 no job skills,
00:14:23.140 no cultural skills.
00:14:25.620 But hell,
00:14:26.100 they'll take anyone, right?
00:14:28.140 Just keep the Syrian migrants
00:14:29.540 away from the fancy people
00:14:30.660 in their fancy neighborhoods
00:14:31.660 in Ottawa and Toronto,
00:14:32.960 Vancouver and Edmonton.
00:14:34.240 Dump them in New Brunswick.
00:14:36.680 Did you see all those?
00:14:37.500 Put that back up
00:14:38.400 just for a second.
00:14:38.960 Look at those smiling faces
00:14:40.360 on that CBC story.
00:14:42.500 Yeah,
00:14:43.160 this is a happy story.
00:14:44.540 What a great victory
00:14:45.500 for everybody.
00:14:47.700 You know,
00:14:47.980 loving media
00:14:48.760 from around the world
00:14:49.860 actually came to New Brunswick
00:14:50.940 to witness this little miracle
00:14:52.840 on the Atlantic.
00:14:53.480 Remember the Australian-based
00:14:54.900 documentary film crew
00:14:56.460 that came to visit
00:14:57.200 this guy
00:14:57.760 and his family,
00:14:59.040 the Rafia family?
00:15:01.140 He sort of sat there
00:15:02.300 smoking and drinking coffee
00:15:03.780 all day.
00:15:04.920 Not working,
00:15:05.980 not learning English,
00:15:07.020 just griping.
00:15:09.360 Now,
00:15:09.560 things started going poorly
00:15:10.500 pretty quickly
00:15:11.240 for Mohammed Rafia.
00:15:13.200 As you know,
00:15:15.640 he was soon convicted
00:15:16.740 of assaulting his poor wife
00:15:18.140 with a hockey stick,
00:15:20.860 beating her bloody
00:15:21.920 for half an hour.
00:15:23.080 And as he told the judge,
00:15:24.280 well,
00:15:24.780 you know,
00:15:25.040 no one told him
00:15:25.720 it wasn't legal in Canada
00:15:27.880 to beat your wife
00:15:28.680 with a stick
00:15:29.080 for half an hour.
00:15:29.760 He actually told the court
00:15:31.380 no one said
00:15:32.780 that was wrong.
00:15:33.900 No one ever told him.
00:15:35.080 According to the Globe and Mail,
00:15:36.620 New Brunswick
00:15:37.200 has received the most
00:15:39.080 of Trudeau's Syrians
00:15:41.080 in the whole country
00:15:42.600 as a proportion
00:15:44.080 of the provincial population.
00:15:46.380 Let me quote
00:15:46.780 from the Globe and Mail.
00:15:48.920 New Brunswick
00:15:49.420 took in refugees
00:15:50.380 at a rate far higher
00:15:52.180 than its share of population,
00:15:53.680 exceeding the numbers
00:15:55.360 seen in more populous provinces
00:15:56.760 such as Nova Scotia,
00:15:58.040 Saskatchewan,
00:15:58.580 and Manitoba.
00:15:59.980 Well,
00:16:00.380 what could possibly
00:16:01.340 go wrong there,
00:16:02.520 right?
00:16:03.820 Well,
00:16:04.740 as you recall,
00:16:05.640 last year we reported
00:16:06.480 to you
00:16:07.340 what that looks like
00:16:08.420 in real life.
00:16:09.000 When you dump
00:16:09.820 Syrian men,
00:16:11.960 and I mean men,
00:16:12.720 with full beards,
00:16:14.540 as old as 21 years old,
00:16:16.760 you dump them
00:16:17.540 in a high school.
00:16:18.360 This is an access
00:16:18.920 to information document
00:16:19.960 we got from the high school.
00:16:21.700 They were just whipping
00:16:22.240 through them here.
00:16:22.920 But basically,
00:16:23.540 it talks about
00:16:23.880 21-year-old men
00:16:24.760 with full beards
00:16:25.860 being placed in high schools
00:16:27.320 with regular
00:16:28.480 Fredericton teenage girls.
00:16:30.300 I mean,
00:16:30.540 what do you think
00:16:31.320 is going to happen there?
00:16:32.420 Well,
00:16:32.960 violence,
00:16:34.360 threats of violence,
00:16:36.200 sexual threats,
00:16:37.900 male Syrian men
00:16:39.380 disrespecting
00:16:40.380 uncovered Canadian
00:16:41.500 women teachers,
00:16:43.200 entire sports
00:16:44.380 being cancelled
00:16:45.080 because the Syrian men
00:16:46.440 would beat up
00:16:47.080 the New Brunswick teens,
00:16:49.140 Syrian students
00:16:50.140 openly rejoicing
00:16:51.340 about foreign terrorist
00:16:52.600 attacks in class.
00:16:54.380 Those are not rumors.
00:16:55.500 That was all documented
00:16:56.600 in hundreds
00:16:57.420 and more than
00:16:58.300 a thousand pages
00:16:59.560 of access to information
00:17:00.660 reports that we obtained
00:17:01.940 from the Fredericton
00:17:02.840 school board itself.
00:17:03.900 You can see all of that
00:17:05.460 elsewhere on our website.
00:17:06.940 You can read the whole
00:17:07.800 access to information
00:17:08.840 bundle with your own eyes.
00:17:10.560 But not a single other
00:17:12.960 New Brunswick media outlet
00:17:14.320 or politician
00:17:15.000 dared to cover the story
00:17:16.020 even though it was
00:17:16.680 government documents.
00:17:17.980 Other than there was a few
00:17:18.660 lame attempts by the CBC
00:17:20.220 and some of the Irving media
00:17:21.700 to spin for the school board,
00:17:23.180 here's an email
00:17:24.100 from one reporter
00:17:25.700 to the school board.
00:17:27.900 I just want to read it.
00:17:28.820 Hold up on the screen there.
00:17:29.960 This is a reporter
00:17:30.780 writing to the school board
00:17:32.200 about the story
00:17:33.520 but not to report on it.
00:17:34.500 I just want to read it.
00:17:35.140 It says,
00:17:35.820 I would like to lead
00:17:36.740 with an off-the-record statement.
00:17:38.460 I am personally offended
00:17:39.860 by the attitude
00:17:40.980 of this rebel media report.
00:17:42.820 It's demonizing,
00:17:43.960 misunderstanding,
00:17:44.680 and disrespectful
00:17:45.220 to say the least
00:17:45.940 and it has xenophobic
00:17:47.160 undertones
00:17:47.800 that feel personally pointed.
00:17:49.600 Now, on the record,
00:17:50.860 the only thing
00:17:51.460 that I find interesting
00:17:52.300 about the report
00:17:52.840 is the actual correspondence
00:17:54.040 that get the hands-on.
00:17:55.100 I want to have the documents
00:17:56.060 so I can accurately report
00:17:57.220 on the issue.
00:17:58.000 Got it.
00:17:58.420 So you have come
00:17:58.980 to your conclusion first
00:18:00.900 and then you want to get
00:18:02.300 a copy of the documents second
00:18:04.320 and that's an off-the-record comment
00:18:06.320 from a journalist
00:18:07.220 to a school board
00:18:08.520 defending their Syrian mess.
00:18:11.120 Yeah.
00:18:12.340 Now, I wonder,
00:18:12.960 I have no information
00:18:13.860 but I have a hunch,
00:18:14.880 do you think the province
00:18:15.940 being turned into a bit
00:18:17.280 of a refugee camp
00:18:19.080 by Justin Trudeau,
00:18:21.740 do you think that
00:18:22.180 it had anything to do
00:18:23.040 with the election result
00:18:24.180 last night in New Brunswick
00:18:25.380 where the liberals lost?
00:18:27.700 I have no clue
00:18:29.000 because you can't get
00:18:30.820 the news out of New Brunswick.
00:18:31.900 It's two companies,
00:18:32.820 basically the government
00:18:33.900 and the permanent government,
00:18:36.300 the Irving family.
00:18:37.220 Look, I don't know,
00:18:37.660 if you're in New Brunswick,
00:18:38.280 let me know what you think.
00:18:39.760 I know I'm not going
00:18:40.360 to learn anything
00:18:40.780 from the legacy media
00:18:41.600 or the legacy politicians.
00:18:43.040 You know,
00:18:43.580 there is an enormous effort
00:18:45.160 after Donald Trump's victory
00:18:47.420 to attack anything populist,
00:18:49.380 anything alternative,
00:18:50.560 anything dissatisfied,
00:18:51.540 alternative opinions
00:18:52.400 are stamped out,
00:18:53.380 alternative spokesmen
00:18:54.140 are slandered.
00:18:55.060 Maxime Bernier
00:18:55.680 had that happen to him
00:18:56.500 on Sunday on the CBC.
00:18:58.220 They implied that he was
00:18:59.200 a foreign-funded stooge
00:19:01.260 for the Koch brothers
00:19:02.680 and they even implied
00:19:03.860 that he was associated
00:19:04.680 with white supremacists.
00:19:05.780 They actually smeared us
00:19:06.840 at the rebel that way.
00:19:08.660 You know,
00:19:08.960 I don't think it's working though.
00:19:10.360 It didn't stop Trump.
00:19:11.560 It didn't stop Doug Ford
00:19:12.980 in Ontario.
00:19:13.620 I don't think it's going
00:19:14.180 to stop Jason Kenney
00:19:15.080 in Alberta.
00:19:15.920 I don't think it's going
00:19:16.820 to work in Quebec.
00:19:17.880 It didn't work
00:19:18.680 in New Brunswick.
00:19:19.500 Maybe one day
00:19:20.180 our establishment politicians
00:19:21.420 will listen to the people.
00:19:23.020 Maybe one day
00:19:23.600 our establishment journalists
00:19:24.760 will report honestly
00:19:26.260 to the people
00:19:26.800 instead of scolding us
00:19:27.960 all the time.
00:19:28.600 Or not.
00:19:29.940 And they'll all find
00:19:31.320 that the people
00:19:31.900 have simply gone elsewhere,
00:19:34.040 whether it's to the
00:19:34.880 People's Alliance Party
00:19:36.260 or to the rebel.
00:19:36.820 That's my working theory
00:19:37.680 coming out of New Brunswick
00:19:38.720 last night.
00:19:40.260 What do you think?
00:19:41.420 Let me know.
00:19:42.620 Stay with us.
00:19:43.500 More ahead on The Rebel.
00:19:44.420 Hey, welcome back.
00:20:01.500 Well, I've got to tell you
00:20:02.140 one thing about rebel
00:20:03.020 contributors.
00:20:03.680 They like to write books,
00:20:06.180 political books.
00:20:07.420 And I am delighted
00:20:08.400 to tell you that
00:20:09.080 Kurt Schlichter,
00:20:09.680 the host of Take That,
00:20:11.780 has a new book out.
00:20:13.080 And let's put it up
00:20:13.660 on the screen
00:20:14.140 and we're going to talk
00:20:14.740 to you in a minute.
00:20:15.180 The book is called
00:20:15.780 Militant Normals,
00:20:19.140 How Regular Americans
00:20:20.220 Are Rebelling Against
00:20:21.140 the Elite
00:20:21.680 to Regain Our Democracy.
00:20:24.320 And joining us now
00:20:24.960 via Skype
00:20:25.460 from the beautiful
00:20:26.400 Los Angeles area
00:20:27.260 is Kurt Schlichter.
00:20:28.760 Kurt, congratulations
00:20:29.480 on the new book.
00:20:31.280 Thanks, Ezra.
00:20:31.940 I really appreciate it.
00:20:33.140 It's gotten a nice reception.
00:20:34.720 People are saying
00:20:35.260 nice things about it.
00:20:36.460 It kind of scares me.
00:20:38.940 Well, it's not your first book.
00:20:40.860 We've talked about
00:20:41.400 some of the others.
00:20:42.160 You did sort of
00:20:42.880 a historical fiction
00:20:45.120 on what happens
00:20:46.000 if the left
00:20:46.640 were to conquer America.
00:20:47.780 This, I mean,
00:20:48.680 let me just ask you
00:20:49.320 about the title,
00:20:49.920 Militant Normals.
00:20:51.200 That sounds sort of
00:20:52.460 like jumbo shrimp
00:20:53.540 or something.
00:20:54.060 It sounds like
00:20:54.520 a contradiction in terms.
00:20:56.040 I mean, if someone's normal,
00:20:57.420 are they militant?
00:20:58.880 So tell me a bit more
00:20:59.720 about your thinking there.
00:21:00.640 I want to wrap
00:21:01.160 my mind around it.
00:21:02.840 Well, you know,
00:21:03.380 normal people
00:21:04.760 usually aren't militant.
00:21:06.200 Normal people
00:21:06.780 are the people
00:21:07.500 who just want
00:21:08.180 to live their lives.
00:21:09.060 They're the people
00:21:09.480 who built this country,
00:21:10.660 who feed this country,
00:21:11.800 fuel this country,
00:21:13.200 defend this country.
00:21:14.820 They're the heart
00:21:15.500 and soul of the country,
00:21:16.700 and they don't want
00:21:17.500 to do what you
00:21:18.120 and I want to do
00:21:18.860 all the time,
00:21:19.400 which is be involved
00:21:20.020 in politics.
00:21:20.940 I mean, I enjoy it.
00:21:22.300 It's something I like,
00:21:23.280 but, you know,
00:21:23.760 most of the people
00:21:24.580 I see in my normal
00:21:25.900 non-political life,
00:21:27.580 they want to be with,
00:21:28.240 you know,
00:21:28.460 they're going out
00:21:29.140 to do soccer
00:21:29.860 with their kids,
00:21:30.840 they're involved
00:21:31.240 in their church,
00:21:32.420 they've got their hobbies,
00:21:33.700 you know,
00:21:33.900 they're going hiking,
00:21:34.800 whatever.
00:21:35.440 Politics just isn't
00:21:36.520 everything to them,
00:21:37.840 and they just want
00:21:39.140 to live their lives
00:21:39.860 trusting the elite,
00:21:42.860 a certain class of people
00:21:44.760 to go and run
00:21:45.780 the institutions effectively
00:21:47.160 and for their benefit
00:21:48.340 to provide them security
00:21:49.480 and prosperity,
00:21:50.560 except our elite
00:21:52.200 has kind of broken
00:21:53.620 its end of the deal.
00:21:55.740 Well, I mean,
00:21:56.580 it's funny you say that
00:21:57.480 because the idea
00:21:59.440 of severely,
00:22:01.680 I like the phrase
00:22:02.760 severely normal,
00:22:04.540 and severely normal people,
00:22:07.120 maybe I'll use your term
00:22:08.580 militant normal,
00:22:09.540 normal people saying,
00:22:10.480 you know what,
00:22:10.780 enough of this.
00:22:11.680 We saw it with Trump,
00:22:12.760 we're seeing in parts of Europe,
00:22:14.660 we saw it last night
00:22:16.560 in a Canadian province
00:22:17.520 called New Brunswick,
00:22:19.540 where a third of the voters
00:22:21.520 voted for new parties
00:22:22.800 that didn't even exist before.
00:22:25.880 You know,
00:22:26.580 I think that it's not just
00:22:28.560 an uprising against
00:22:29.680 political elites,
00:22:31.660 it's an uprising
00:22:32.580 against the media elites too
00:22:34.400 who do the shilling
00:22:35.360 for the political elites.
00:22:37.360 Would you agree with that?
00:22:38.640 Well, yes,
00:22:39.300 the media elites
00:22:39.980 are part of the elite,
00:22:42.160 they're kind of their voice,
00:22:43.100 but, you know,
00:22:44.020 this,
00:22:44.360 I hate to sound like a Marxist,
00:22:45.940 but a lot of this,
00:22:46.740 Ezra,
00:22:46.980 is about class,
00:22:48.320 and we have an elite
00:22:49.220 that has distinguished itself
00:22:50.960 from the normal Americans
00:22:53.320 they're supposed to be,
00:22:54.400 you know,
00:22:54.680 working on behalf of,
00:22:55.920 and you can see it.
00:22:59.800 Look at Hollywood.
00:23:01.140 70 years ago,
00:23:01.960 you had movies like
00:23:02.880 It's a Wonderful Life,
00:23:04.260 which celebrated normal people,
00:23:06.260 normal values,
00:23:07.760 showed them as the repository
00:23:09.440 of the values
00:23:10.940 and the qualities
00:23:12.200 that made our culture great,
00:23:13.980 and now you see
00:23:14.980 exactly the opposite.
00:23:16.200 You mentioned Hollywood,
00:23:17.280 and there was a time
00:23:18.540 when war movies
00:23:19.980 were patriotic,
00:23:21.120 and when Hollywood loved
00:23:22.820 supporting America,
00:23:24.180 I even think of Irving Berlin,
00:23:26.020 and even when he would
00:23:27.260 poke fun at the,
00:23:28.100 like,
00:23:28.300 I hate to get up
00:23:28.960 in the morning,
00:23:29.760 you know,
00:23:30.060 but he was part,
00:23:30.920 I mean,
00:23:31.060 he traveled,
00:23:31.700 he entertained the troops,
00:23:33.000 and, I mean,
00:23:34.800 that would be unthinkable today.
00:23:37.840 I can only think of two
00:23:39.160 pro-military movies
00:23:41.880 in the last decade,
00:23:43.780 one of them,
00:23:44.280 American Sniper,
00:23:45.840 and the other one,
00:23:47.220 which was sort of
00:23:48.080 a crypto-supportive movie
00:23:49.740 called 300,
00:23:51.120 wasn't even about America,
00:23:52.280 it was about the Spartans.
00:23:53.160 Other than that,
00:23:54.580 I mean,
00:23:54.800 for every pro-military,
00:23:56.380 pro-America movie,
00:23:57.860 there's got to be
00:23:58.580 a hundred
00:23:59.200 blame America,
00:24:00.820 America is evil,
00:24:01.840 America is racist movies.
00:24:03.540 Just, I mean,
00:24:04.080 just that one example
00:24:05.080 of anti-war,
00:24:06.260 anti-military movies,
00:24:07.620 it would shock
00:24:08.700 the Hollywood
00:24:09.200 of the 40s and 50s.
00:24:11.360 Well, look,
00:24:12.060 and the Hollywood movies
00:24:13.080 of the 40s and 50s
00:24:14.140 didn't,
00:24:15.220 you know,
00:24:15.500 I guess some of them did,
00:24:16.360 but they didn't all
00:24:17.300 sugarcoat war,
00:24:18.440 they weren't pro-war,
00:24:19.760 but they understood
00:24:20.620 that we were fighting
00:24:21.540 an implacable,
00:24:22.880 ruthless,
00:24:23.480 evil enemy,
00:24:24.780 and we needed
00:24:25.500 to be victorious.
00:24:26.580 I don't think
00:24:27.040 the elite today
00:24:28.160 accepts that.
00:24:28.840 You know,
00:24:29.240 one of the big problems,
00:24:31.120 Ezra,
00:24:31.340 and we see it
00:24:31.880 especially in Europe,
00:24:32.740 but it's coming over here,
00:24:33.920 is that the elite
00:24:35.120 doesn't take its own side
00:24:36.480 in the fight.
00:24:37.960 You know,
00:24:38.340 you look at radical Islam,
00:24:40.140 you look at
00:24:41.440 its manifested intention
00:24:45.100 of imposing
00:24:47.120 a cruel and barbaric
00:24:48.600 caliphate.
00:24:49.480 Now,
00:24:49.680 these aren't my words,
00:24:50.840 these are what they say,
00:24:52.780 and you see that
00:24:54.000 the elite refuses
00:24:55.120 to accept that
00:24:56.220 simply because
00:24:56.760 you understand
00:24:57.980 that some radical Muslims
00:25:00.860 are terrible people
00:25:02.220 who want to harm you,
00:25:03.440 who want to butcher
00:25:04.160 and enslave you,
00:25:06.060 does not make you
00:25:07.040 anti-Islam.
00:25:07.880 Now,
00:25:08.040 I worked with
00:25:08.740 Muslim soldiers
00:25:09.780 in Kozima
00:25:10.320 and Muslim civilians.
00:25:12.600 I was working
00:25:14.360 on their behalf,
00:25:15.100 so I don't feel
00:25:16.140 I have to prove
00:25:16.820 anything to anybody.
00:25:18.800 But the simple fact
00:25:20.920 that you refuse
00:25:21.940 because of your weird
00:25:23.140 cultural taboos
00:25:24.860 to accept that
00:25:26.060 anybody might hate you
00:25:27.760 because of his version
00:25:29.220 of that religion
00:25:30.180 is ridiculous.
00:25:33.340 They're so caught up
00:25:34.380 in their taboos.
00:25:35.140 They're so caught up
00:25:36.020 in their weird
00:25:36.840 cultural memes.
00:25:37.880 You look at it
00:25:38.620 in this Kavanaugh thing.
00:25:39.940 Oh,
00:25:40.260 well,
00:25:40.620 someone who's accused
00:25:41.600 must prove
00:25:42.140 his innocence.
00:25:43.060 Where the hell
00:25:44.560 did that come from?
00:25:45.740 Because it's entirely
00:25:47.060 absent in 800 years
00:25:48.480 of Anglo-American
00:25:49.780 jurisprudence.
00:25:51.400 Yeah.
00:25:51.740 You know,
00:25:52.160 it's funny when you're
00:25:52.700 talking about the elites
00:25:53.860 and how they would,
00:25:55.180 I mean,
00:25:55.420 how feminist activists
00:25:57.000 or gay activists
00:25:58.040 or so many libertarian
00:26:02.040 or libertine activists
00:26:03.140 would fare
00:26:03.800 under radical Islam.
00:26:05.440 It's sort of
00:26:06.080 the reverse of the phrase,
00:26:07.100 he doesn't practice
00:26:08.020 what he preaches.
00:26:08.980 These folks don't preach
00:26:10.300 what they practice.
00:26:10.920 They love the full
00:26:14.260 liberty lifestyle,
00:26:15.840 but they claim
00:26:17.340 to be respectful
00:26:19.020 and they seek
00:26:22.220 to defend
00:26:22.940 a radical Islam
00:26:24.500 that would destroy
00:26:26.080 all the things
00:26:26.700 that they personally enjoy.
00:26:27.960 It's sort of weird
00:26:28.660 that way,
00:26:29.500 but let me ask you,
00:26:30.100 does your book,
00:26:30.900 besides identifying
00:26:31.900 these problems,
00:26:33.000 does it propose
00:26:33.620 any solutions?
00:26:35.340 Look,
00:26:36.080 the solution
00:26:37.200 is the classic solution,
00:26:38.440 that's to get militant.
00:26:39.360 This isn't the first time
00:26:40.580 normal Americans
00:26:41.400 have stood up
00:26:41.940 and said,
00:26:42.280 hey, elite,
00:26:42.600 you're screwing up.
00:26:43.520 It happened in the 60s
00:26:44.860 where you had
00:26:45.600 the election
00:26:47.180 of Richard Nixon
00:26:49.540 by what they called
00:26:51.240 the silent majority.
00:26:52.680 Ten years later,
00:26:53.360 you had the normal people
00:26:54.760 reject Jimmy Carter
00:26:56.420 and elect Ronald Reagan.
00:26:57.700 You kind of had it
00:26:59.240 with Ross Perot.
00:27:00.960 You had it
00:27:01.600 with the Tea Party
00:27:02.440 and the elite,
00:27:03.280 you know,
00:27:03.520 managed to kind of
00:27:05.100 try and hold it back.
00:27:06.540 But then,
00:27:07.080 you know,
00:27:07.340 you had it
00:27:07.820 with Donald Trump.
00:27:09.040 This is a self-correcting
00:27:10.900 dynamic.
00:27:11.600 The elite needs
00:27:12.600 to do its job
00:27:14.780 in return for the power
00:27:15.740 and prestige it receives.
00:27:16.980 It needs to provide
00:27:17.740 security and prosperity.
00:27:19.240 When it doesn't do that,
00:27:20.520 the normals get activated.
00:27:22.000 They get militant.
00:27:23.220 The thing is now,
00:27:24.220 what's interesting now,
00:27:26.140 is the elite
00:27:27.340 is fighting back
00:27:28.740 not just to maintain
00:27:29.640 its power,
00:27:30.320 but because it
00:27:31.140 ideologically hates
00:27:32.720 normal people.
00:27:34.000 It believes they are
00:27:34.720 morally unworthy,
00:27:36.120 intellectually inferior,
00:27:37.900 a bunch of superstitious
00:27:38.980 savages with Jesus
00:27:40.160 and guns
00:27:40.800 who need to be suppressed
00:27:42.520 for the good of mankind.
00:27:44.120 You have the elite
00:27:44.880 actively fighting
00:27:46.020 the normals
00:27:46.880 for being normal
00:27:48.400 rather than just
00:27:49.700 trying to,
00:27:50.220 you know,
00:27:50.620 normally escape
00:27:51.480 accountability
00:27:52.040 for a depression
00:27:53.060 or, you know,
00:27:54.900 a rising crime
00:27:55.860 or something.
00:27:56.460 So that's where
00:27:57.100 we're different.
00:27:57.620 The elite
00:27:58.100 hates the normals.
00:28:00.040 You know,
00:28:00.200 I want to ask you
00:28:00.660 a question about that
00:28:01.340 because you're right.
00:28:02.040 I think it is
00:28:02.560 self-correcting
00:28:03.180 and you point out
00:28:03.760 some fairly recent
00:28:05.100 historical examples
00:28:05.980 of that.
00:28:07.380 But of course,
00:28:08.180 the answer
00:28:08.740 for the elite
00:28:10.120 that does not want
00:28:11.040 to be replaced
00:28:12.360 is to replace
00:28:13.220 the people.
00:28:14.640 And I think
00:28:15.140 that's really
00:28:15.620 what the mass migration
00:28:17.240 open borders
00:28:18.180 is all about.
00:28:19.520 It is.
00:28:20.340 Don't let the people
00:28:21.000 replace us.
00:28:21.680 Let's replace the voters.
00:28:23.300 Yeah,
00:28:23.640 you're right.
00:28:24.240 And that's kind of
00:28:24.840 a new thing
00:28:25.580 and, you know,
00:28:26.340 pioneered in Europe,
00:28:28.380 you know,
00:28:28.900 Tony Blair,
00:28:29.520 that,
00:28:29.960 the Labour Party,
00:28:30.820 that was their intent.
00:28:32.140 We need a different
00:28:33.100 set of voters
00:28:33.820 because the ones
00:28:34.500 we have
00:28:34.980 aren't submissive enough.
00:28:37.000 And of course,
00:28:37.460 they bring in people,
00:28:38.460 you know,
00:28:38.900 who don't buy
00:28:40.240 their ideology either
00:28:41.320 except they,
00:28:42.080 you know,
00:28:42.300 also behead people
00:28:43.520 in some cases
00:28:44.980 as we've seen.
00:28:46.820 Here,
00:28:47.520 they are attempting
00:28:48.840 to bring in,
00:28:49.860 you know,
00:28:51.220 foreigners
00:28:51.620 to replace Americans
00:28:53.260 who have been uppity,
00:28:54.760 who have been,
00:28:55.560 who have demanded
00:28:56.560 their rights
00:28:57.160 as American citizens.
00:28:58.980 And,
00:28:59.680 you know,
00:29:00.160 Americans are getting
00:29:01.220 tired of it.
00:29:01.820 Immigration is,
00:29:02.880 is one of several reasons
00:29:04.740 Donald Trump won.
00:29:06.280 And,
00:29:06.800 you know,
00:29:07.260 when we talk about immigration,
00:29:08.440 I just find the whole thing
00:29:09.440 ridiculous when I get,
00:29:10.540 you know,
00:29:10.700 somebody like me
00:29:11.300 gets called a racist
00:29:12.160 or something.
00:29:12.940 My wife's from Cuba.
00:29:14.240 My wife is an immigrant.
00:29:15.620 Her family came here
00:29:17.220 because it was driven out
00:29:18.120 by communist oppression.
00:29:19.840 They came here,
00:29:20.520 they served in our military.
00:29:21.880 My wife kept my kid
00:29:22.920 for 16 months
00:29:24.080 while I went overseas
00:29:25.260 to serve.
00:29:26.600 Immigrants don't have
00:29:27.520 to prove their patriotism.
00:29:29.000 They do it every day
00:29:30.260 by how they live.
00:29:32.460 But the simple fact is
00:29:34.280 there's two kinds
00:29:35.140 of immigrants,
00:29:36.220 legal and illegal.
00:29:37.380 And of those,
00:29:38.040 there's immigrants
00:29:39.120 who want to be Americans
00:29:40.260 and immigrants
00:29:40.900 who want to be foreigners
00:29:42.060 and sticking around
00:29:43.480 here anyway.
00:29:44.840 Well,
00:29:45.280 let me ask you
00:29:45.640 about one last thing
00:29:46.400 because,
00:29:46.940 you know,
00:29:49.060 I think back
00:29:49.840 about the elites
00:29:50.560 of the past
00:29:51.260 and you get to
00:29:51.920 a certain level
00:29:52.680 of power
00:29:53.160 and I can imagine
00:29:53.820 you start to think
00:29:54.940 of yourself
00:29:55.280 as godlike.
00:29:55.940 I've seen interviews
00:29:56.700 with George Soros
00:29:57.800 where he acknowledges
00:29:59.340 that he has a god complex
00:30:01.320 and sometimes he thinks
00:30:02.460 of himself as a god.
00:30:03.820 He's so rich
00:30:04.360 and so powerful.
00:30:06.060 And the tycoons
00:30:08.700 of eras past,
00:30:09.640 like the J.D. Rockefellers
00:30:10.980 and the Andrew Carnegie's
00:30:12.340 of the world,
00:30:13.120 they were rich
00:30:13.700 and powerful
00:30:14.240 but none of them
00:30:15.620 came close
00:30:16.600 to the Mark Zuckerbergs
00:30:18.440 and the Jeff Bezos
00:30:19.180 of the world
00:30:20.360 in terms of controlling
00:30:21.320 what we know
00:30:22.080 and what we think.
00:30:23.620 The fact that
00:30:24.340 you have a small handful
00:30:26.080 of think-alikes
00:30:27.260 in Silicon Valley
00:30:28.700 which is a fancy way
00:30:29.580 of saying
00:30:29.880 left-wing San Francisco
00:30:31.260 that even if
00:30:33.300 J.D. Rockefeller's
00:30:34.360 wealth proportionately
00:30:35.620 was larger
00:30:36.300 than Zuckerberg's,
00:30:37.820 Zuckerberg
00:30:38.460 and three or four guys
00:30:40.120 at Google,
00:30:40.740 et cetera,
00:30:41.900 actually control
00:30:42.800 our ideas
00:30:43.600 and our perception
00:30:44.360 of the world
00:30:44.700 much more
00:30:45.200 than Rockefeller did.
00:30:46.520 How do militant normals
00:30:48.440 solve a problem
00:30:49.600 in a virtual
00:30:51.380 high-tech world
00:30:52.580 where it's all
00:30:53.100 controlled by five guys?
00:30:55.280 Well, look,
00:30:55.960 what we're talking about
00:30:57.100 is different kinds
00:30:57.800 of power.
00:30:58.460 These guys have
00:30:59.140 a certain kind
00:31:00.020 of power.
00:31:00.920 They use it
00:31:01.500 promiscuously.
00:31:02.540 They don't have
00:31:03.060 the humility
00:31:03.700 that a smart
00:31:05.500 elite person has.
00:31:06.500 A smart elite person
00:31:07.520 doesn't draw attention
00:31:08.580 to himself
00:31:09.120 by exercising power
00:31:11.440 shamelessly,
00:31:14.400 right?
00:31:15.240 Because that draws
00:31:16.520 the other people,
00:31:18.340 the people he's using it on
00:31:19.380 to exercise
00:31:20.140 their own kind
00:31:21.380 of power
00:31:21.900 and their own power.
00:31:23.540 is it the ballot box?
00:31:25.100 You know,
00:31:25.420 Silicon Valley
00:31:26.320 is going to
00:31:27.340 misbehave itself
00:31:29.560 into regulation.
00:31:31.120 It is going to get
00:31:32.340 broken up by antitrust.
00:31:33.960 There can't be
00:31:34.620 any other way.
00:31:35.480 You can't have
00:31:36.180 a situation
00:31:36.840 where a lot of the,
00:31:38.460 you know,
00:31:39.000 Cruz Schilling
00:31:39.720 hack conservatives,
00:31:41.740 you know,
00:31:42.560 the never Trump type,
00:31:43.600 so we can't possibly
00:31:45.380 do anything
00:31:45.920 about Silicon Valley
00:31:46.940 because, you know,
00:31:47.580 Milton Friedman,
00:31:48.780 normal people
00:31:49.540 are like,
00:31:49.900 nah,
00:31:50.480 I'm not going
00:31:51.000 to let these guys
00:31:51.760 dump on me.
00:31:52.820 I'm not.
00:31:53.680 They've got their power,
00:31:54.840 I've got mine,
00:31:56.120 and mine's going
00:31:57.460 to break them up.
00:31:58.520 And inevitably,
00:31:59.840 I think these guys,
00:32:00.900 you know,
00:32:01.060 they've got power
00:32:01.560 too young,
00:32:02.180 they're immature,
00:32:03.500 they don't understand
00:32:04.520 how to use it,
00:32:05.760 they have an elite
00:32:06.660 that doesn't have
00:32:07.480 any kind of self-control
00:32:08.880 or, you know,
00:32:11.680 guidance mechanisms
00:32:13.080 within itself
00:32:14.040 to teach them
00:32:15.020 how to properly
00:32:15.900 be an elite.
00:32:16.880 So they end up
00:32:18.140 being bullies
00:32:18.900 and bullies
00:32:20.000 eventually meet
00:32:20.840 the wrong guy
00:32:21.500 and get laid out
00:32:22.240 on the ground.
00:32:23.720 Yeah,
00:32:24.280 it's interesting
00:32:25.720 that all these
00:32:26.780 powerful Silicon Valley
00:32:27.800 titans are based
00:32:29.240 in San Francisco
00:32:30.100 as opposed to,
00:32:30.840 let's say,
00:32:31.200 I grew up there.
00:32:32.020 Boise, Idaho
00:32:32.840 or something.
00:32:33.660 I wonder if the idea.
00:32:35.220 I grew up halfway
00:32:36.180 between San Francisco
00:32:37.060 and Silicon Valley,
00:32:38.000 so I get it
00:32:38.980 and I get the people.
00:32:40.400 And the problem is
00:32:41.460 there's not enough
00:32:42.100 people around there
00:32:42.900 telling them no.
00:32:43.740 No,
00:32:43.920 you better not
00:32:46.040 interfere in,
00:32:48.360 you know,
00:32:48.740 searches involving
00:32:50.220 Republicans
00:32:50.840 because the Republicans
00:32:52.860 are eventually,
00:32:54.420 you know,
00:32:54.920 self-preservation
00:32:56.220 is a powerful instinct,
00:32:59.420 maybe the most powerful.
00:33:00.840 And if you think
00:33:01.580 you can fight
00:33:02.220 on only your terms
00:33:03.460 and demand your enemy
00:33:04.300 do the same,
00:33:05.420 well,
00:33:05.640 the enemy gets a vote,
00:33:06.880 in this case,
00:33:07.640 literally.
00:33:09.580 Well,
00:33:10.120 it's very interesting.
00:33:10.960 I look forward to it.
00:33:11.480 Now,
00:33:11.600 when's your book coming out?
00:33:12.460 It's just a few days away,
00:33:13.720 am I right?
00:33:14.660 It's coming out
00:33:15.320 on October 2nd.
00:33:16.340 You can pre-order it
00:33:17.100 now at Amazon.
00:33:18.500 But,
00:33:19.000 you know,
00:33:19.240 we've been talking
00:33:19.980 pretty seriously here.
00:33:21.420 The book is funny.
00:33:22.840 Oh,
00:33:23.120 the book has a lot of laughs.
00:33:25.740 I take,
00:33:26.620 I go after the never-Trumpers
00:33:28.020 and the liberals
00:33:28.500 very,
00:33:28.940 very hard
00:33:29.320 in the way I do on
00:33:30.500 Take That
00:33:31.580 here on The Rebel
00:33:32.460 and the way I do
00:33:33.580 at Town Hall.
00:33:34.740 You might think of it
00:33:35.800 as an extended form
00:33:37.820 Take That
00:33:39.080 or an extended form
00:33:40.020 Town Hall column.
00:33:41.440 So if you like those,
00:33:42.280 you're going to like it.
00:33:43.040 If you like my Twitter feed,
00:33:44.060 you're going to like it.
00:33:45.220 I didn't want to write
00:33:46.260 a Bataan Death March
00:33:47.580 political science treatise,
00:33:49.540 though I,
00:33:49.820 you know,
00:33:50.260 I have a BA
00:33:51.360 in political science.
00:33:52.740 I wanted to write something
00:33:54.020 that you could read
00:33:54.940 and you could have fun
00:33:56.040 and go,
00:33:56.660 oh,
00:33:57.140 well,
00:33:57.780 that's an interesting idea.
00:33:59.620 I see how it worked.
00:34:00.680 It gives me a way
00:34:01.320 to talk about this
00:34:02.360 that's,
00:34:03.700 you know,
00:34:04.020 clear and not confusing
00:34:05.760 and,
00:34:06.620 you know,
00:34:07.000 and it's fun.
00:34:08.780 Well,
00:34:09.180 I can hardly wait
00:34:09.660 to see that
00:34:10.220 and that's coming out,
00:34:11.300 I guess,
00:34:11.500 in just a few days.
00:34:12.400 We'll let our Rebel viewers know
00:34:14.000 because they love
00:34:15.680 to read books
00:34:18.060 by our side
00:34:19.460 because that's another industry
00:34:20.620 that's dominated
00:34:21.340 by the left
00:34:21.980 is the book business
00:34:23.060 and frankly,
00:34:24.180 sometimes it's even hard
00:34:25.060 to find a book
00:34:26.480 in a bricks-and-mortar bookstore
00:34:27.980 that's conservative,
00:34:29.360 so it's great
00:34:29.800 that yours is on Amazon.
00:34:31.100 Kurt,
00:34:31.240 it's great to catch up
00:34:31.980 with you
00:34:32.240 and congratulations
00:34:33.000 on the new book.
00:34:34.200 I look forward
00:34:34.580 to tucking into it myself.
00:34:36.380 Thanks so much,
00:34:37.240 Ezra.
00:34:37.460 I really appreciate it.
00:34:38.700 Right on.
00:34:39.140 Well,
00:34:39.260 there you have it,
00:34:39.660 folks.
00:34:39.860 That's Kurt Schlichter.
00:34:40.760 You'll know him
00:34:41.160 from The Rebel
00:34:41.600 and he's the host
00:34:42.980 of Take That.
00:34:44.060 He writes for townhall.com
00:34:45.520 and his new book,
00:34:46.540 we'll put it up
00:34:46.940 on the screen here
00:34:47.720 and you can find
00:34:48.240 a link to Amazon
00:34:49.680 to order it below.
00:34:51.180 It's called
00:34:51.580 Militant Normals,
00:34:53.280 How Regular Americans
00:34:54.340 Are Rebelling Against the Elite
00:34:55.660 to Regain Our Democracy
00:34:56.760 and I'd say
00:34:57.960 that probably applies
00:34:58.980 to Canada
00:34:59.700 and the United Kingdom
00:35:00.800 too,
00:35:01.380 don't you think?
00:35:02.360 Well,
00:35:02.720 there you have it.
00:35:03.300 Stay tuned.
00:35:04.580 More ahead
00:35:05.120 on The Rebel.
00:35:07.460 Hey, welcome back.
00:35:17.440 On my monologue yesterday
00:35:18.480 about the truth
00:35:19.180 behind the Toronto Danforth shooting,
00:35:21.200 someone with the nickname
00:35:22.040 Lone Stubble Jumper
00:35:23.840 writes,
00:35:24.420 I wonder if Hussein
00:35:26.200 didn't get some weapons training
00:35:27.640 when he was in Pakistan.
00:35:29.240 I believe one of the police
00:35:30.120 remarked at how deft
00:35:31.020 he was with his pistol.
00:35:32.200 It's an acquired skill
00:35:33.060 through training and practice.
00:35:34.500 Yes,
00:35:34.960 thank you for reminding
00:35:36.260 me of that.
00:35:38.140 The kind of shooting
00:35:39.500 that was done,
00:35:41.020 it's not shoot-em-up shooting
00:35:42.460 gangster style.
00:35:43.620 It wasn't shoot-em-up shooting
00:35:45.060 video game style.
00:35:47.200 It was cool,
00:35:48.860 calm,
00:35:49.740 trained,
00:35:50.720 professional shooting
00:35:51.660 said various cops
00:35:53.300 and obviously it was deadly
00:35:54.400 and it was accurate.
00:35:55.400 That's an excellent point
00:35:56.540 and I'm sorry,
00:35:57.280 I left that out
00:35:57.720 in my report last night.
00:35:59.960 Ron writes,
00:36:00.560 Ever since this government
00:36:02.200 has taken office,
00:36:02.960 they've hidden crime facts
00:36:04.240 where Muslims were involved.
00:36:05.580 The Quebec mosque case,
00:36:06.680 the Edmonton mall pool
00:36:07.540 molesting of six girls,
00:36:08.920 suspect found innocent,
00:36:10.020 the Edmonton terrorist
00:36:11.300 that ran over the policeman
00:36:12.180 then stabbed him,
00:36:13.020 ran away only to steal a truck
00:36:14.240 and run over four more people.
00:36:15.940 Not a Muslim terrorist incident,
00:36:17.500 the truck that ran over
00:36:18.600 many in Toronto,
00:36:19.520 not Muslim related.
00:36:20.600 The question everyone
00:36:21.640 should be asking is,
00:36:22.840 why is the Liberal Party
00:36:23.520 of Canada office
00:36:24.260 our new Scotland Yard?
00:36:25.420 They have no mandate
00:36:26.180 to be interfering
00:36:27.040 with the Canadian justice system.
00:36:28.800 Boy,
00:36:29.120 you've got a lot of good points there.
00:36:30.400 I recall that Edmonton attack.
00:36:32.540 The guy had an ISIS flag
00:36:34.700 in the car.
00:36:37.420 He had been interviewed
00:36:38.400 by police before
00:36:39.320 about his radicalism
00:36:40.400 and he has not been charged
00:36:42.400 with terrorism.
00:36:43.720 Not been charged with terrorism.
00:36:45.040 You're exactly right.
00:36:46.060 Why are the police interfering
00:36:48.600 and the media and the police?
00:36:50.260 Sorry,
00:36:50.500 why are the politicians
00:36:51.320 interfering,
00:36:52.220 excuse me,
00:36:52.680 in the media
00:36:53.120 and the police?
00:36:54.180 I'm sorry,
00:36:54.480 in the police work.
00:36:56.960 It's what Daniel Pipe says,
00:36:58.260 the 5P professionals.
00:36:59.380 The press,
00:37:00.660 the politicians,
00:37:01.920 the prosecutors,
00:37:02.620 the police,
00:37:03.060 the professors,
00:37:03.680 they're all in on this.
00:37:06.060 This isn't a conspiracy theory,
00:37:07.520 by the way.
00:37:09.440 We have the entire
00:37:10.680 ITO,
00:37:11.840 information to obtain
00:37:12.700 a search warrant.
00:37:13.620 It's on our website.
00:37:14.760 You read it with your own eyes.
00:37:16.760 That's not a conspiracy theory.
00:37:17.880 That is a police document.
00:37:20.460 Check it out for yourself.
00:37:21.320 On my interview
00:37:22.700 with Laura Lynn Thompson,
00:37:23.740 Liza writes,
00:37:25.020 I hope that they can
00:37:26.060 find out something
00:37:26.660 about that person
00:37:27.260 in the hijab
00:37:27.940 who threw coffee
00:37:28.960 on Laura Lynn Thompson.
00:37:30.360 We cannot put up
00:37:31.080 with that kind of aggression
00:37:31.880 in our country.
00:37:33.900 Well, yeah,
00:37:34.380 I've watched that short clip
00:37:36.100 so many times
00:37:36.660 and you can't see the face,
00:37:38.780 can you?
00:37:39.560 I don't even know
00:37:40.480 if it's a woman.
00:37:42.780 I don't know
00:37:43.360 if it's a Muslim woman.
00:37:44.120 I'm curious though,
00:37:47.000 aren't you?
00:37:47.780 It's a Syrian vigil.
00:37:50.820 Laura Lynn Thompson
00:37:51.400 and the Chinese-Canadian community
00:37:52.520 were criticizing
00:37:53.200 Trudeau's Syrian refugees.
00:37:55.200 And someone in the hijab
00:37:56.140 throws hot coffee
00:37:56.900 in Laura Lynn's face.
00:37:58.220 I'm extremely curious
00:38:00.080 who that person is,
00:38:01.100 but no one else
00:38:01.900 seems to be.
00:38:03.020 Not the Vancouver Sun,
00:38:04.020 not the CBC,
00:38:04.760 not the National Post,
00:38:05.720 really.
00:38:06.880 Nobody.
00:38:07.460 The police claim
00:38:08.060 to be investigating.
00:38:08.980 Yeah, maybe, maybe.
00:38:10.040 We'll give them a chance
00:38:10.860 to do their work.
00:38:11.900 But I know
00:38:12.900 if the shoe
00:38:13.320 was on the other foot,
00:38:14.300 it would be
00:38:14.840 leading the news.
00:38:16.640 Do you even trust
00:38:17.780 the news anymore though?
00:38:20.040 After,
00:38:20.680 after their coverage
00:38:21.840 of the Faisal
00:38:22.480 same mass shooting
00:38:23.300 and the other things
00:38:23.960 that our earlier
00:38:24.840 letter writer says.
00:38:26.320 I don't.
00:38:27.880 Well, that's our show
00:38:28.460 for today.
00:38:28.940 Until tomorrow,
00:38:29.940 on behalf of
00:38:30.720 Rebel World Headquarters,
00:38:32.940 that's what we are.
00:38:33.480 I'm actually going back
00:38:34.100 to London this week
00:38:35.540 for Tommy Robinson's
00:38:36.580 new trial.
00:38:37.100 I'll tell you about that
00:38:37.620 a little bit more later.
00:38:39.040 On behalf of us,
00:38:39.640 to you,
00:38:40.000 good night,
00:38:41.020 and keep fighting
00:38:41.600 for freedom.
00:38:43.640 Thank you.
