Hello, my rebels. Today, I take you through an outstanding Supreme Court ruling.
00:00:04.900
You know, those American rulings are great. Canadian rulings sometimes are hundreds of
00:00:08.540
pages long. Sometimes they are. And they're so contradictory and so hard to understand.
00:00:13.880
This Supreme Court of the United States ruling I'm going to take you through this week is concise,
00:00:19.020
written beautifully, and I know they have bright clerks helping, but it's great.
00:00:22.960
And it's very exciting to see the three Trump judges weigh in and change the direction of
00:00:31.020
America for the better. I'm going to take you through a very important court ruling
00:00:35.600
that just came out this week. Before I do, let me invite you to become a Rebel News Plus subscriber.

Tonight, do you want to see Donald Trump's greatest legacy? We'll take a look at this
00:01:20.940
ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. It's November 27th. This is the Ezra LeVance Show.
00:01:27.920
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:31.360
There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say to
00:01:37.080
the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:46.420
There's a chance Donald Trump could still win the election. I don't care what CNN says or the CBC
00:01:52.220
says or what Joe Biden says or what Justin Trudeau says. That's not how the president has actually
00:01:57.380
chosen. The United States Constitution describes how the president is chosen. It's something called
00:02:02.880
the Electoral College. And right now, there are lawsuits in various jurisdictions challenging some
00:02:09.560
close votes in different states. That's nothing new, frankly, nothing weird there. Back in 2000,
00:02:16.400
Al Gore fought in court for more than a month until the Supreme Court finally weighed in against him.
00:02:22.320
So I say there's still a chance Donald Trump will win. Here's some proof.
00:02:27.380
All the betting houses, all the gambling companies that allow people to bet on political
00:02:32.720
outcomes, they're not paying out yet. They're waiting until it's official, official, official.
00:02:39.220
I mean, could you imagine if they paid out now for Joe Biden only to have Donald Trump
00:02:43.480
win an election recount? CNN doesn't care if they're wrong. They're in the propaganda business,
00:02:49.440
not the paying out money business. But let's, for the sake of argument, say
00:02:53.780
that Donald Trump will not prevail and that Joe Biden will be inaugurated in January and that he
00:03:00.640
will be a sort of figurehead president, making a brief 10-minute appearance every day,
00:03:06.260
speaking less and less as his cognitive abilities continue to recede, becoming more and more of a
00:03:12.000
recluse as Kamala Harris becomes the face of the Democrat White House and probably someone else who
00:03:18.520
knows who behind the scenes actually makes the decisions. Let's say that's what's going to
00:03:22.980
happen. And then I ask again, what will be Donald Trump's greatest legacy? He changed the Republican
00:03:30.000
Party for the better, I think. He made it more populist. He made it the party of the working
00:03:33.880
class, a nationalist party. He called out China. He called out America's allies who weren't paying
00:03:39.700
their fair share in NATO. He brokered seemingly impossible peace deals in the Middle East,
00:03:44.180
three in a row, but you wouldn't know it from the total lack of media coverage of it. He brought
00:03:49.140
the economy roaring back. And after the pandemic hit, he brought it roaring back again. It's still
00:03:56.180
not where it was before the pandemic, but the unemployment rate is back down to 6.8% and getting
00:04:02.160
stronger every month. Here in Canada, by contrast, it's 8.9%. And look at this headline from Statistics
00:04:08.920
Canada. Employment growth slows as new COVID-19 restrictions are implemented. We're still doing
00:04:17.600
that? Yeah, you bet. So it's not the virus anymore. It's the lockdown now. And in case you think you can
00:04:23.380
just go to work at a company you built with your own hands for decades, Canada's worst politicians will
00:04:29.400
literally send 100 police and riot horses to stop you. I think Trump's greatest failure was his failure
00:04:36.240
to build the wall with Mexico. Sure, he built part of it, but not much. And sure, Congress got in his
00:04:41.760
way, but he had a majority Republican Congress for his first two years. And many decisions can be made
00:04:47.120
unilaterally by the White House. He was undermined by the swamp within his own party, within his own
00:04:54.220
White House, by Republicans in name only. I think most of his work was undermined. I don't think that's a
00:05:00.960
controversial thing to say. I'm worried that some of Trump's achievements will be easily undone. I think
00:05:06.200
foreign affairs is an obvious example. Biden loves China. Biden loves Iran. He'll change both of those
00:05:12.960
policies immediately. And it's terrifying to see John Kerry back in charge of anything again. Remember
00:05:18.700
this guy? There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world. I want to make that very
00:05:26.220
clear to all of you. I've heard several prominent politicians in Israel sometimes saying, well, the
00:05:34.220
Arab world's in a different place now. We just have to reach out to them and we can work some things
00:05:38.600
with the Arab world and we'll deal with the Palestinians. No, no, no, and no. I can tell you
00:05:46.300
that reaffirmed even in the last week as I have talked to leaders of the Arab community. There will be
00:05:51.580
no advance and separate peace with the Arab world without the Palestinian process and Palestinian
00:05:58.480
peace. Everybody needs to understand that. That is a hard reality. Yeah, I don't think there's ever
00:06:05.520
been anything he's been right about. He's been wrong more than possibly anyone else in history. I think
00:06:11.960
he will actually try to wreck Trump's new peace deals between Israel and Bahrain and the United Arab
00:06:18.680
Emirates in Sudan. I actually believe John Kerry would rather wreck those peace deals than let them
00:06:24.160
happen. But the one Trump legacy that cannot be easily undone, at least if the Republicans could
00:06:30.800
hold the Senate to stop court packing, the one thing that Trump exceeded expectations on, that Trump
00:06:37.640
probably did better than any president before him, was appointing excellent judges. He nominated them
00:06:44.900
and Mitch McConnell, the quirky Republican leader in the Senate, agreed to push them through using all
00:06:50.300
means. And he did. I love this whiny headline, how Trump has already transformed America's courts. Let
00:06:58.620
me read this. Today, almost a third of all active federal judges on the U.S. appeals courts were appointed
00:07:04.560
by Mr. Trump. It's amazing. And of course, three on the Supreme Court. And these aren't just good
00:07:10.860
enough judges. They are the best possible. They're outstanding judges. Sometimes they're called strict
00:07:17.680
constructionists, which means it's a fancy way of saying judges who interpret the law as the laws
00:07:22.940
were written. People who follow the Constitution, not people who think that a judge's role is to be an
00:07:28.280
unelected lawmaker. Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and most recently, Amy Coney Barrett, or ACB as some
00:07:37.420
people of color, they were strong from the beginning. And of course, the abusive way that the Democrats
00:07:43.340
in the Senate attacked these three judges surely only hardened them. Remember the literally insane
00:07:49.100
accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, accusing him, seriously, of being like some serial rapist
00:07:55.700
or something? Remember that? All three of the women who have made sworn allegations against you
00:08:01.520
have called for an independent FBI investigation into the claims you've been asked during the course of
00:08:06.380
this hearing by four different members by my count at least eight times today. And also earlier this
00:08:14.260
week on national television, whether you would call for the White House to authorize an FBI investigation
00:08:20.000
each time you have declined to do so. Now, you know, I know you do, that the FBI is an agency of men
00:08:30.300
and women who are sworn and trained law enforcement, who in the course of conducting background
00:08:38.440
investigations on nominees for the Supreme Court of the United States and others, are charged with
00:08:45.220
conducting those background investigations because they are sworn law enforcement and they have the
00:08:50.360
expertise and the ability and the history of doing that. So I'm going to ask you one last time.
00:08:55.160
Are you willing to ask the White House to authorize the FBI to investigate the claims that have been
00:09:03.040
made against you? Well, I'll do whatever the committee wants, of course. And I've heard you say that,
00:09:07.040
but I've not heard you ask, I've not heard you answer a very specific question that's been asked,
00:09:11.620
which is, are you willing to ask the White House to conduct an investigation by the FBI to get to
00:09:21.160
whatever you believe is the bottom of the allegations that have been levied against you?
00:09:26.160
The FBI would gather witness statements. You have the witness statements.
00:09:31.040
I don't want to debate with you how they do their business.
00:09:34.540
They just made that craziness up. Just throw mud. Well, he's on the court now. Do you think he's going to be
00:09:42.480
harder or softer on leftists than he was before? Let's ask Clarence Thomas.
00:09:47.160
The committee will please come to order. Judge, it's a tough day and tough night for you, I know.
00:09:57.760
Let me ask, do you have anything you'd like to say before we begin? I understand that your
00:10:04.600
preference is, which is totally and completely understandable, that we go one hour tonight,
00:10:10.840
30 minutes on each side. Am I correct in that? That's right.
00:10:15.180
Senator, I would like to start by saying unequivocally, uncategorically, that I deny each and every
00:10:26.180
single allegation against me today that suggested in any way that I had conversations of a sexual
00:10:35.740
nature or about pornographic material with Anita Hill, that I ever attempted to date her, that I
00:10:45.340
ever had any personal sexual interest in her, or that I in any way ever harassed her.
00:10:53.740
A second, and I think more important point, I think that this today is a travesty. I think that it is
00:11:05.700
disgusting. I think that this hearing should never occur in America. This is a case in which this sleaze,
00:11:18.060
this dirt was searched for by staffers of members of this committee, was then leaked to the media,
00:11:30.060
and this committee, and this body, validated it, and displayed it at prime time. And from my standpoint,
00:11:44.780
as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks,
00:11:50.860
who in any way deigned to think for themselves.
00:11:54.380
Oh, by the way, it was a racist bigot named Joe Biden who led the smear against Clarence Thomas.
00:12:00.460
Amy Coney Barrett isn't just a great judge. I think she's a great person. But still, this is how they did it to her.
00:12:08.120
To ensure the fitness of nominees for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench or to any of the
00:12:13.580
other positions for any of the committees on which they appear, I ask each nominee these two questions.
00:12:20.860
And I will ask them of you. Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests
00:12:27.260
for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?
00:12:34.540
Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?
00:12:41.820
Yeah. These were good people. They were great judges. They were good people. And the Democrats tried to
00:12:47.100
destroy them. I don't think these judges will forget that. Now, John Roberts, the Republican in name
00:12:54.300
only, who was appointed by George W. Bush, he's undermined conservatives ever since he was appointed.
00:13:00.060
He cast the deciding vote saving Obamacare, the nationalization of American medicine. Trump's
00:13:06.460
three judges are not like him. And all of this is a preamble to the amazing ruling from the Supreme
00:13:13.740
Court of the United States just this week. It's called Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn,
00:13:19.660
New York versus Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of New York. So as the name of the case shows,
00:13:25.020
the Catholic Church in New York sued the governor for shutting them down. A Jewish synagogue made the
00:13:30.380
same arguments. Both were heard at the same time in an emergency hearing of the court.
00:13:36.460
And in a five to four ruling with John Roberts joining the Democrats, the court struck down Cuomo's
00:13:43.660
restrictions. Three out of those five judges were Trump's judges. Imagine if Hillary Clinton had won in
00:13:50.140
2016. Imagine if Trump had made weaker appointments or didn't have the chance to make appointments at all.
00:13:56.780
It's not hard to imagine. Earlier in the pandemic, before ACB was on the court, churches in Nevada and
00:14:04.140
California sued in the same vein. And that was when leftist Ruth Bader Ginsburg was on the court,
00:14:09.740
and the court ruled against the churches. So in Nevada, casinos can stay open, no problem, but not churches.
00:14:19.020
That's the opposite. That's the difference Trump made.
00:14:21.020
Now there's no doubt at all that Andrew Cuomo targeted Jews and Catholics too, but he really
00:14:28.780
seemed to dislike the Jews. I think that's very odd for a New York governor.
00:14:33.260
I have to say to the Orthodox community tomorrow, if you're not willing to live with these rules,
00:14:43.500
It's funny, Trump restricted immigration from some Muslim majority countries,
00:14:47.420
and it was universally called a Muslim ban. Because to the media, Trump equals racist.
00:14:52.700
But I wonder why the media didn't call Cuomo's rules the Jewish ban. That's sort of what it was.
00:14:57.980
Here, let me read a few paragraphs from this week's great ruling. Let me read a few lines from Neil
00:15:02.940
Gorsuch, Trump's first pick. I'm going to read from the judgment.
00:15:07.100
In the Orthodox Jewish community, that limit might operate to exclude all women, considering 10 men are
00:15:28.220
necessary to establish a union or a quorum. In orange zones, it's not much different. Churches and
00:15:34.620
synagogues are limited to a maximum of 25 people. These restrictions apply even to the largest
00:15:40.060
cathedrals and synagogues, which ordinarily hold hundreds. And the restrictions apply no
00:15:45.500
matter the precautions taken, including social distancing, wearing masks, leaving doors and
00:15:50.140
windows open, foregoing singing, and disinfecting spaces between services. And now get this.
00:15:55.580
At the same time, the governor has chosen to impose no capacity restrictions on certain businesses he
00:16:01.180
considers essential. And it turns out the businesses the government considers essential include hardware
00:16:06.940
stores, acupuncturists, and liquor stores, bicycle repair shops, certain signage companies,
00:16:13.260
accountants, lawyers, and insurance agents are all essential too. So, at least according to the
00:16:17.820
governor, it may be unsafe to go to church, but it is always fine to pick up another bottle of wine,
00:16:23.180
shop for a new bike, or spend the afternoon exploring your distal points and meridians.
00:16:28.460
Who knew public health would so perfectly align with secular convenience? Isn't that great? That's
00:16:34.940
that's the Supreme Court today. And that's the point about casinos, right? I mean, in Nevada,
00:16:39.980
casinos are big business and the source of the big taxes. Everyone's pro-casino in Nevada.
00:16:45.740
They wouldn't shut those down. But churches? Ah, who cares? Shut them down.
00:16:49.020
Same in Canada. Churches, synagogues, mosques shut down. But Walmart keeps the doors open. No
00:16:54.940
restrictions there. Let me read some more. Nor is the problem an isolated one. In recent months,
00:17:00.060
certain other governors have issued similar edicts. At the flick of a pen, they have asserted the right
00:17:06.860
to privilege restaurants, marijuana dispensaries, and casinos over churches, mosques, and temples.
00:17:13.100
Exactly. Now let me quote the two hard left-wing Obama judges. I'll just quote one of them,
00:17:19.500
Justice Sotomayor, with whom Justice Kagan joins dissenting. She says,
00:17:25.260
Amidst a pandemic that has already claimed over a quarter million American lives, the court today
00:17:29.380
enjoins one of New York's public health measures aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19 in areas
00:17:34.240
facing the most severe outbreaks. Earlier this year, this is my favorite part, earlier this year,
00:17:39.260
this court twice stayed its hand when asked to issue similar extraordinary relief. See,
00:17:46.400
South Bay United Pentecostal Church versus Newsom, that's a governor of California,
00:17:50.880
and Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley versus Sisolak, that's a governor of Nevada.
00:17:56.400
I see no justification for the court's change of heart, and I fear that granting applications such
00:18:01.520
as the one filed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn will only exacerbate
00:18:09.160
the nation's suffering. So let me translate. She's talking about the Nevada case and the
00:18:15.080
California case. Same arguments, but decided earlier this year with the majority of anti-religious
00:18:23.700
leftists. Ruth Bader Ginsburg cast the deciding vote then, but now it's Amy Coney Barrett.
00:18:32.180
Sotomayor is correct to ask, what changed? The answer is Trump. And Amy Coney Barrett is just
00:18:40.420
48 years old. May she live as long as Ruth Bader Ginsburg did. That is Trump's legacy. Here in
00:18:47.020
Canada, we've got even worse anti-church lockdown laws, like zero churches in Wellington County in
00:18:53.520
Ontario that just completely shut down the churches, 100%. And like Trump, Stephen Harper appointed an
00:18:59.860
enormous number of judges. Harper was around for nine years, not just four. Harper appointed many
00:19:06.860
of the judges on our Supreme Court right now, except for whatever reason, he just didn't really care
00:19:11.100
about their ideology. Maybe one of his Supreme Court appointments could be called a conservative.
00:19:16.380
Maybe it was Harper. Maybe he just didn't care. Maybe he delegated it to his lazy conservative
00:19:24.060
and name-only justice minister for so long, Peter McKay. Whatever it is, we've got a court full of
00:19:28.860
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's appointed by our side, which is why we're less free and will be for
00:19:50.200
Welcome back. Well, I firmly believe that in a debate with such close margins, anything that
00:19:56.220
would filter the news of the election, even by a few percent, well, that made all the difference in
00:20:03.360
the world. And what do I mean by filter? I don't mean the particular biases of a particular newscaster
00:20:10.040
or a channel. I mean, the left has its ABC, NBC, CBS. The right has Fox News. I'm talking about your
00:20:18.200
ability to even find out the news, to see what other people are saying. I'm talking about invisible
00:20:25.040
filters on social media. Your ability to share your own views on Facebook or Twitter or YouTube.
00:20:34.460
How the rankings are when you type in keywords like Donald Trump or Joe Biden. Are there positive
00:20:41.700
stories at the top or negative stories at the top? Well, those things were controlled by the social
00:20:48.220
media tycoons. I believe they made a difference in this election. But the thing is, they haven't
00:20:53.460
stopped after the election. Well, it's just got worse. Joining us now via Skype is our friend Alan
00:20:59.320
Bokhari, senior tech editor for Breitbart.com. Alan, great to see you again. You know, we saw this
00:21:06.600
coming like a mile away. It was an accident in slow motion. The social media companies started
00:21:12.280
censoring a little bit months ago. There was no pushback like a child finding its boundaries.
00:21:18.200
They pushed more and more and more and nothing ever snapped back. Literally nothing has ever
00:21:24.180
happened to them. So, of course, they censor the president all the time. What do they care?
00:21:28.700
Yes, they've been doing this for four years, ever since they realized what internet freedom could do
00:21:33.500
to their control over the narrative. They saw that in 2016. And I think Silicon Valley collectively
00:21:39.620
took a decision to make sure nothing like it could happen again at the next election. I wrote a book
00:21:45.640
about this called, you know, Deleted Big Tech's Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal the
00:21:50.400
Election. And I think they did steal the election, frankly, because as you said, those margins were so
00:21:55.220
close. And given that Silicon Valley has been manipulating people's opinions and suppressing the
00:22:00.460
conservative movement over the past four years, I'm sure that had an impact. And I think you can
00:22:05.360
actually see it in the polls. If you look at the polls, the undecided voters were much lower throughout
00:22:11.840
the course of the election year than they were in 2016. And I think one of the reasons for that is
00:22:19.000
because Silicon Valley has been bombarding undecided voters and everyone else on the internet with
00:22:25.220
propaganda for the past four years by adjusting its algorithms to promote what they call authoritative
00:22:31.860
sources like CNN and the New York Times and suppress what they call partisan sources like the Rebel News
00:22:37.780
and Breitbart News. And we got confirmation of this with this story about Facebook's post-election
00:22:44.260
suppression. Yeah. Well, let's talk about your two latest stories. One of them is called Facebook
00:22:49.880
suppressed Breitbart promoted CNN following the election. So this is the new normal. This is a perpetual
00:22:58.140
state of affairs. Even after the vote, you know, digesting the vote, analyzing the vote, writing history, so to
00:23:05.740
speak, Facebook won't allow conservative voices to explain what happened. That's what I'm picking up from your
00:23:12.520
story. That's absolutely right. What I found interesting about the story is that it actually confirmed something I
00:23:19.480
reported in my book, something a whistleblower told me, which is that every one of these Silicon Valley
00:23:24.540
companies has something called a quality score that they use to rank and downrank content. So the New York
00:23:31.400
Times story that we covered yesterday at Breitbart confirms from other sources inside Facebook that they
00:23:38.300
have something called a news ecosystem quality score, a completely hidden ranking that no one knew about
00:23:44.460
until now. Unless you've read my book, of course, that they can turn up or down like you're turning up or down
00:23:51.520
the volume on a TV. They can do that to news sources. And they have done that to news sources. They've done
00:23:56.980
that to Breitbart in the days following the election. And they've also turned up the volume on the mainstream
00:24:02.300
corporate media. They've boosted, they've artificially boosted CNN and the New York Times. So we're in this
00:24:08.460
situation now where by adjusting these hidden scores, big tech companies can pick winners and losers in the
00:24:16.480
media. They can decide which media companies are going to succeed and which ones are going to fail. And it's
00:24:22.640
incredible to me that nothing has been done to rein in this kind of power. The potential for the, well, we're seeing
00:24:29.900
now the monumental abuse of power this allows for is just completely outrageous.
00:24:35.440
Yeah, you know, we know this directly. We have a representative from YouTube, which is owned by
00:24:41.080
Google. And we ask her questions. I mean, the chief benefit of having a representative is we can put
00:24:46.680
questions to a real human who eventually answers us. It's not like we're just sending an anonymous email
00:24:52.760
to some, you know, unchecked email box. And she tells us quite frankly, like sometimes we type in the exact
00:25:01.520
name of a video, like the exact headline, and a video outranks us, comes up early on the search engine
00:25:09.700
by CBC, Canada's state broadcaster, or global, you know, a private sector media company that's very far
00:25:18.180
left. They rank higher in the search than our own video with the exact title and with many more views.
00:25:26.180
And we said, what's going on? And she said, we boost quality. That was one of the phrases, quality. I think
00:25:34.360
you were saying authoritative. So even if people want our video, even if grassroots people voting with
00:25:42.280
their finger clicking, choose our video, you've got to eat your vegetables, you've got to take your
00:25:48.700
medicine and listen to the CBC or global, even if you deliberately search for us. And we're not
00:25:55.000
running an election. Imagine how bad it was for Trump. You search for something about Trump. Let's
00:25:59.580
say you're searching for the Hunter Biden laptop, eat your vegetables, read the New York Times, nothing
00:26:04.540
to see here. I think that's what they're doing. I'll tell you exactly the same thing happened to
00:26:08.800
Breitbart News and is still happening to Breitbart News. You will search the consensus
00:26:12.260
exact string of characters on a Breitbart News headline. And what will come up often is results
00:26:18.180
from, you know, completely no name, never heard of before websites. Some of these websites even
00:26:24.160
plagiarize our articles and the plagiarized version of the articles appears higher in Google search
00:26:29.820
than the Breitbart News article itself. We even did an exclusive interview with President Trump a few
00:26:35.840
months ago and you couldn't find it on Google, even if you search for the exact headline. So it's
00:26:40.540
complete and total suppression. And I think Google is actually probably the worst. You have to consider
00:26:47.720
how this impacted the election. You know, I don't think stealing the election is a conspiracy theory,
00:26:52.360
because if you're an undecided voter and you were looking for results, looking for information about
00:26:56.740
Joe Biden or Donald Trump in the run-up of the election, and you went on Google, all you would find
00:27:01.900
would be a stream of propaganda from outlets and broadcasters that are hostile to President Trump.
00:27:07.080
So it's absurd to say that that didn't have a massive impact on the election, in my view.
00:27:11.100
Yeah. And the thing is, if you're a grassroots person, a severely no more voter,
00:27:15.780
to take the time to try and look into something deeper, that's unusual to begin with. Most people
00:27:20.840
are too busy. They're not particularly interested in politics as much as you and I are. So to have a
00:27:25.900
truly undecided person, a normal person, do that is a miracle in itself. And for them to be frustrated,
00:27:32.080
oh, I can't find what I was looking for, or find what they're looking for, but it's the rebuttal.
00:27:37.780
Quite often, I find, when people search for a conservative point of view, they'll get that
00:27:42.340
exact issue, but not the conservative point. They'll get the pre-buttal or the rebuttal to it
00:27:47.580
on the left. So you can't get the actual conservative story. You get the debunking of it,
00:27:54.220
which is probably the fake news, junk journalism in the first place.
00:27:59.480
Yeah. And I also want to push back on this idea that they're boosting authoritative sources over
00:28:03.780
non-authoritative sources. Because as I was saying, oftentimes when you search for Breitbart
00:28:09.200
headlines, you're going to find completely junk websites that just plagiarize our articles.
00:28:15.480
These are not authoritative sources at all by no one's definition of the term, yet they're
00:28:20.140
ranking higher than Breitbart News. So this is clearly an effort, I think, to suppress effective
00:28:25.300
conservative media, conservative media that had an impact in 2016 and would have an impact
00:28:31.120
if Silicon Valley wasn't rigging the playing field in favor of the Democrat-aligned media.
00:28:36.300
Yeah. Oh, exactly. When I say authoritative, I'm just using their word. I think you can tell
00:28:42.700
Canadians, so few Canadians watch, on any given day, we have more viewers of our videos than
00:28:49.820
CBC's flagship national newscast. So Canadians do not regard the CBC as authoritative. They regard
00:28:56.980
it as partisan, as a state broadcaster, which it is. I mean, it's incredible to me that it would
00:29:01.820
be called authoritative. That's just from the point of view of the left. I want to ask you about a
00:29:06.520
breaking news story. I think it just happened last night. There's a new network out there. There's
00:29:11.740
Fox News. Everyone's heard of Fox News. But there's a couple of up-and-comer, not quite as established
00:29:17.920
or well-funded, but they're trying. I enjoy them. Newsmax is the name of one of them. And
00:29:23.680
One America News, or OAN, is another. And they're not as many bells and whistles. They don't have the
00:29:29.080
same budget, but they've got a lot of heart, and they're a little bit more to the right, I'd say,
00:29:34.000
of Fox News. And all of a sudden, YouTube gives them what's called a strike, demonetizes their vids,
00:29:42.860
and I think they're suspended for posting new vids for a week. You suspend us for posting new vids
00:29:47.960
for a week. Frankly, we're almost out of business. That's our lifeblood.
00:29:52.960
Absolutely. And this is one of the other big impacts of Silicon Valley censorship,
00:29:56.940
how they can just strip someone of their livelihood. If you build a business on Facebook
00:30:00.940
or YouTube or an Instagram page or anything like that, Silicon Valley has the power to take that all
00:30:06.820
away from me with a snap of their fingers and with no legal due process. I mean, if a landlord tried
00:30:12.520
to evict an owner of a physical business, they'd have to get a court order. But you could have
00:30:18.140
hundreds, thousands of employees dependent on an online business in Silicon Valley could just
00:30:22.940
suddenly decide by executive decision to take that all away. Now, One American News is an interesting
00:30:29.520
story. They're increasingly favored by President Trump. They've come under scrutiny by the mainstream
00:30:34.920
media. And YouTube's excuse for censoring them was the fact that they supposedly violated YouTube's
00:30:42.580
COVID rules, which is interesting because it was a One American News correspondent, Jack Posobiec,
00:30:49.520
who was calling for a ban on travel to China way back in January, long before any Democrat did the
00:30:55.240
same. So this was actually a network that was earlier to recognize the dangers of the pandemic than many
00:31:04.300
in the mainstream media. And now we have YouTube censoring them for allegedly violating their COVID
00:31:10.720
rules. Yeah. And who knows what those COVID rules are to begin with? That was the same reason that Amazon
00:31:16.140
used to take down my book, China Virus. They banned it for two months, then they unbanned it for a week,
00:31:22.100
then they re-banned it, and then they re-unbanned it. I mean, you can't even take it seriously.
00:31:28.020
We're talking with a friend, Alan Bocari. He's the author of the book, Deleted Big Tech's Battle to
00:31:34.220
Erase the Trump Movement and Steal the Election. I remember when we spoke about this book in the
00:31:38.240
run-up to the vote, I hoped and prayed you were just being pessimistic, but I think it looks like
00:31:43.700
they pulled it off. I got one last question for you, my friend. You mentioned One American Network,
00:31:48.860
OAN. Trump refers to it a lot. He likes them. It's his favorite because they're a little bit more
00:31:55.100
partisan towards him, I'd say. It's fair to say. Parler, which is sort of like Twitter. I think
00:32:01.340
it's the closest analogy, and it's getting a lot more traffic. Ivanka Trump joined it the other day.
00:32:06.880
Who knows? Maybe they have to strengthen their systems. If Donald Trump says, I'm going to Parler,
00:32:11.780
you could theoretically have 10 million new people signing up in one day. You really could.
00:32:17.240
So they better be ready for that crush of traffic. But I see already the media party,
00:32:24.120
the tech rivals trying to denormalize and destabilize this rival. I saw Brian Stelter and
00:32:31.460
a guest say that this is dangerous to have a conservative outlet like that. No doubt you'll
00:32:37.420
have deep internet infrastructure questions like, will anyone process their credit card? Will they
00:32:45.060
lose their host? I mean, I don't even know the phraseology, but I mean, something's always built on
00:32:53.860
a deeper foundation. Are you worried that just like One American News is being cut off on the knees,
00:33:02.200
this new social media app called Parler will be destroyed because it's not part of the team?
00:33:09.640
I think they'll certainly try. And this is the whole problem with the build your own argument.
00:33:14.000
You know, you just have to build your own alternatives to the social networks. It's great what Parler is
00:33:18.600
doing. It's great that they're having success. But what they're going to encounter, I think,
00:33:22.340
is the same thing that happened to Gab, which was a similar free speech social network alternative
00:33:28.400
that gained traction a few years ago, which is that the mainstream media is going to relentlessly
00:33:35.640
target this new platform. They're going to relentlessly go after Parler and they're going to pressure
00:33:39.600
Google and Apple, number one, to cut them off from the app stores, thus cutting them off from,
00:33:44.800
you know, a worldwide market of smartphones. They're going to pressure payment processors,
00:33:50.540
as you said, to cut off, you know, payment processing, credit card processing. They're
00:33:54.740
going to pressure their DNS registrar, which gives you your website URL to cut that off as well.
00:34:01.500
They're going to pressure their web hosting companies. They're going to pressure Cloudflare.
00:34:05.420
All of these infrastructure providers that every website or app needs to survive,
00:34:10.260
they're going to pressure them to de-platform Parler. This is the playbook.
00:34:13.440
They did it with Gab. We're seeing them start to do it with Parler, too. But I will say,
00:34:19.300
Parler has enjoyed, you know, extraordinary growth. I have about,
00:34:22.940
oof, maybe a tenth of my followers on Parler that I have on Twitter, but I'm already seeing
00:34:26.960
engagement that's equal in Twitter. So it's no surprise to me that this has got the left and
00:34:32.920
got the mainstream media into a panic, because they really don't like the idea of a free and open
00:34:38.020
platform where people can organize and speak freely. They saw what they did in 2016,
00:34:43.380
and they were determined to kill that idea, that technology before 2020.
00:34:50.240
Yeah. Well, Rebel News has an account on Parler, and I'll be honest, I haven't paid a lot of
00:34:55.080
attention to it, but maybe we ought to put a little bit more effort into it. You mentioned DNS
00:34:59.240
registrar. In 2017, out of the blue, our DNS, I don't even know the terminology, contacted us and said,
00:35:07.360
guys, we're kicking you off, you have 24 hours notice, good luck out there. No explanation, no appeal.
00:35:13.940
We moved as quickly as we could, but it took about three days for our new, I don't even know the
00:35:19.420
terminology, DNS registry to propagate throughout the internet. So our entire company was offline,
00:35:27.200
depending where you were for one, two, even three days. Some anonymous staffer will never know who
00:35:35.100
at a company we didn't even know existed, deep underground that we didn't even know we stood on.
00:35:41.880
That's how vulnerable things are, and that was three years ago. I want to give one more shout out
00:35:47.080
to your book, Alan, because although it was focused on the election, the things you talk
00:35:52.020
about there, as we've just described, are perpetuating. Let's show it one more time on the
00:35:56.780
screen. Deleted Big Text Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal the Election by Alan Bocari. I've
00:36:03.100
said it before, and I meant it. It's not just that I like you, Alan. I truly believe you are the most
00:36:07.780
important journalist in this critical field. You have the sources, you have the understanding,
00:36:13.760
and you see, you saw this clearly. For four years, you've been warning about it. If anyone cares
00:36:20.560
about this issue, and we all should, click the Amazon link under this video to get yourself a
00:36:27.760
copy of Alan's book, Before Amazon Bands It, and I've proved that they'll do that. Great to see you.
00:36:33.600
Keep it up. We'll keep watching Breitbart until you're deleted.
00:36:40.120
Right on. There he is, Alan Bocari, one of our favorite guys.
00:36:55.840
Hey, welcome back on my show last night. Sean writes,
00:36:58.500
people should show up to City Hall with barbecues of their own and have a massive barbecue protest?
00:37:03.720
Now, that's my kind of protest. Alexander writes, American store Costco is essential,
00:37:09.080
American Walmart is essential, American Starbucks or Wendy's is essential, but
00:37:12.460
Canadian small businesses and restaurants are not. Is Ford working for USA or for Canada?
00:37:18.200
Well, that's a good question. As I mentioned in the various live streams I did yesterday,
00:37:22.100
two of Ford's staff, someone named Melissa Lantzman and someone named David Tarrant,
00:37:27.880
were hired by a large Arkansas company. You may have heard of them. They're called Walmart.
00:37:32.580
They were hired to lobby Doug Ford. They got that private meeting between the CEO of Walmart,
00:37:37.860
Canada and Doug Ford. And that's where Walmart twisted and bent and the malleable Doug Ford. So,
00:37:44.300
yeah, I don't know if Ford himself is for sale, but his staff are. And what's super gross is that one
00:37:50.360
of those staff, Melissa Lantzman, I call her Lockdown Lantzman, she's now running to be an MP for the
00:37:55.700
Conservative Party. She's seeking a nomination to be a Conservative candidate in Thornhill, Ontario.
00:38:04.380
Us Albertans would never allow it. Kenny knows that. We appreciate his apology,
00:38:07.760
but I still can't open my small business. The East allowed this socialism.
00:38:13.140
Fair to a degree, but listen, sister, who voted for Rachel Notley? I mean, I'm not saying you did,
00:38:21.080
but Albertans did. And boy, the NDP, they sure think they can come back in. And sometimes I look
00:38:29.260
at the media party out there and I fear they might be right. So yeah, I mean, the worst socialism in
00:38:34.520
Canada has always come from Ontario and Quebec, but don't think there's none of it out West too.
00:38:41.820
That's our show for today. Thanks for watching. What a busy week it's been. So many videos coming out.
00:38:46.420
It's please visit our YouTube channel. There's so much good stuff. And rebelnews.com is better than
00:38:51.620
ever, of course. Until Monday, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:38:56.540
see you at home. Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
