Donald Trump is the president of the United States again, and a lot of people did not think that was possible.
00:00:06.580
A lot of people tried to stop it, whether it was prosecuting him or, God forbid, shooting him.
00:00:11.400
Well, he did it, and he had a landslide victory, winning every single swing state in America.
00:00:17.260
We had a wonderful eight-hour live stream last night.
00:00:19.780
I'll try to boil down my thoughts into a fraction of that time today.
00:00:23.180
But first, let me invite you to get the video version of this podcast.
00:00:31.320
There's some really great clips I want you to see, not just here.

You know, nowadays, it feels like censorship is creeping into every corner of our lives, doesn't it?
00:00:46.520
Whether it's the news we access, our posts on social media, or even how we choose to manage our family's wealth.
00:00:52.300
With companies like BlackRock amassing substantial voting power through passive investing,
00:00:57.860
it's up to people like you to take back the power of your investments by working with a firm that shares your values.
00:01:04.800
That's why we partnered with Rocklink investment partners.
00:01:08.960
Rocklink is independent, which means they have the freedom to invest without being influenced by the globalist agenda.
00:01:15.880
They focus on creating portfolios of excellent businesses, not an ESG and DEI or the latest woke trend.
00:01:52.400
It's November 6th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:02:10.320
Well, we had a live stream last night covering the U.S. election.
00:02:16.020
I was in this chair for, I think, about eight hours.
00:02:18.600
Sheila Gunn-Reed was co-hosting with me from her base in Alberta.
00:02:22.280
And our friend David Menzies was down in Washington, D.C.
00:02:29.320
And Abiyamini was at Mar-a-Lago, very exciting place to be.
00:02:33.040
So we were in the field, but we were watching the results.
00:02:39.480
And Trump was leading from pretty much the start, the very beginning.
00:02:49.120
I mean, I kept saying, well, this is good, and that's promising, and he's leading here.
00:02:55.860
But when is the super big delivery of millions of ballots?
00:03:00.280
Let me show you something that's been not quite trending on Twitter, but I've seen a lot of it from Democrats.
00:03:07.260
Here's some stats that I confirmed earlier today.
00:03:09.680
In 2008, when Barack Obama, perhaps the most energizing political candidate since Reagan, perhaps even since JFK, when he ran, he got 69 million votes for the Democrats.
00:03:25.200
Four years later, he still got 66 million votes, which is pretty good, but I guess some people had soured on his campaign, but still, it was enough to win.
00:03:33.640
In 2016, Hillary Clinton got just under 66 million, so she didn't quite get as many votes as Barack Obama did in his second election, but it was enough to beat Trump in terms of the raw vote.
00:03:51.220
Trump won the Electoral College, if you know the difference.
00:03:54.400
Last night, the Democrats got 67 million votes, so one million more than Hillary Clinton got.
00:04:05.140
In 2020, last time, there were 81 million votes for Joe Biden.
00:04:14.140
That old guy who didn't leave his basement, who didn't campaign, he got 81 million votes.
00:04:22.060
Last night, there were about 67 million Democrats and almost 72 million for Trump.
00:04:26.680
So Trump won the popular vote, which, of course, doesn't count for anything other than it's quite symbolic.
00:04:34.060
And so I see on Twitter so many Democrats saying, wait a minute, we left 15 million votes on the table.
00:04:40.520
If Joe Biden got 81 million votes in 2020, how did all the energy behind Kamala Harris get 15 million votes less?
00:04:56.360
And maybe we should all figure out where those votes came from last time and why they weren't there this time.
00:05:08.380
And just like I like to follow David Colletto, the liberal-oriented pollster, he himself is very trustworthy.
00:05:16.420
So when they have bad news for the liberals, I'm more likely to trust it than if it's a conservative.
00:05:23.540
I feel the same way about the New York Times newspaper.
00:05:32.720
Whether you love him or hate him, people are interested in him.
00:05:40.140
And so as the good news came in, moment by moment, I appreciated seeing it from the New York Times.
00:05:48.120
So every single swing state, you know what I mean by a swing state.
00:05:57.500
But what about those that can go one way or another, depending on the mood, depending on the momentum?
00:06:03.300
That's a place like Pennsylvania, a place like Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan.
00:06:10.520
And you add those up, and it makes a big difference.
00:06:25.160
And he even had growth in the blue states, hence winning the popular vote.
00:06:31.740
Here's a chart of demographics broken down by age, gender.
00:06:37.820
Every single demographic group increased their vote for Republicans, except two.
00:06:53.800
The most Latino district in America, near the border, voted Republican, voted for Trump the first time it went Republican in more than 100 years.
00:07:08.520
That's because he said he promised to end open borders immigration.
00:07:12.100
Just because someone is Latino doesn't mean they believe in breaking the law.
00:07:16.340
That's sort of a condescending Democrat thing to think, isn't it?
00:07:19.280
I think that Trump ran a high-energy, interesting, enjoyable campaign.
00:07:27.960
He would give two, three, sometimes more rallies a day where he would speak extemporaneously for an hour at a time.
00:07:34.760
And it was part policy talk, part storytelling, part comedy.
00:07:42.060
If her teleprompter misfired, she would be stuck and wouldn't know what to say.
00:07:47.000
She only did scripted events like a Saturday Night Live appearance as opposed to an unscripted three-hour interview with the podcaster Joe Rogan.
00:07:56.440
Their closing argument, so to speak, in the Democrats was abortion versus the Nazis.
00:08:03.160
As in, they said, if you value abortion, if that's the most important thing to you, you better vote Democrat.
00:08:09.060
And you don't want to be with those Nazis, don't you?
00:08:12.180
Well, of course, Donald Trump had a lot of arguments, including prosperity and just getting America out of its rut and making America successful again and bringing order to a chaotic world.
00:08:23.340
I think that was a much more compelling argument.
00:08:26.900
And there was something sort of sad about these white dudes for Harris who were saying they were voting on one reason only.
00:08:35.560
That was so their daughters could have abortions.
00:08:38.320
If you think I'm kidding, that's really what their ad said.
00:08:43.820
And I'm not sure if it'll work in Canada next time because that's obviously the Trudeau playbook.
00:08:48.560
He calls everyone he doesn't like a Nazi, and he says, if you want abortions, you better vote for the liberals.
00:08:56.420
I don't know if that's the most important issue for Canadians.
00:08:59.740
And by the way, there is no abortion law in Canada.
00:09:01.920
You can get an abortion for any reason or no reason all the way up to the moment of birth.
00:09:07.720
It was incredible to watch, and we stayed up quite late.
00:09:13.300
I didn't get too silly, as I sometimes do at 3 a.m.
00:09:16.120
And, of course, we're in the Eastern time zone, which is where Mar-a-Lago and Florida is.
00:09:22.060
But people around the world went to bed and then woke up to find out that Donald Trump had won.
00:09:26.640
And I think some people were shocked because they wanted Kamala Harris to win,
00:09:31.540
and they began to believe what they wanted would come true.
00:09:35.340
And they closed off their mind to information to the contrary.
00:09:38.540
And one of the most, I don't know if amusing is the right word, interesting reactions was from the U.K. Labor Party.
00:09:47.100
As we've talked about in recent months, the U.K. Labor Party is big into censorship.
00:09:51.620
They're big against social media companies and misinformation.
00:09:57.860
They even mused about arresting or, in other ways, sanctioning Elon Musk's Twitter.
00:10:05.400
Well, Elon Musk was a key part of Donald Trump's campaign.
00:10:08.520
And imagine the shock when the Labor Party discovered Donald Trump is now president.
00:10:16.000
This gentleman I'm about to show you, his name is David Lammy.
00:10:19.240
He's their foreign minister or foreign secretary, as they're called over in the U.K.
00:10:23.320
Listen to him just tell you what he thinks about Donald Trump.
00:10:27.640
This was a few years ago, and now he's being promoted.
00:10:32.680
This was on LBC, one of the larger radio networks in the U.K.
00:10:37.500
Keir Starmer, the British prime minister, knew that David Lammy said this.
00:10:44.200
And now this is the man who has to engage in foreign affairs with Donald Trump.
00:10:50.240
Donald Trump has been tearing up all of the accords that we maintained on climate change.
00:10:57.500
If you care about climate change, you care about the future of this world, then you must stand against Donald Trump.
00:11:06.300
This is a man that is someone who thinks it's okay to describe women in the most horrendous of ways, their body parts,
00:11:16.880
to speak about them in a misogynistic and deeply offensive fashion.
00:11:22.460
This is the Donald Trump that we are rolling out the red carpet for.
00:11:26.520
And, you know, we don't always give a state visit to American presidents.
00:11:49.140
Why is Theresa May putting Donald Trump in this position, this pivotal position, having him alongside the Queen
00:11:57.540
and all the great dignitaries across the country and in the Corporation of London,
00:12:03.020
sitting alongside him and lording him for this shameful behavior on the international stage?
00:12:09.920
We stand with the American people, but we absolutely say that our democratic values are opposed to the misogyny,
00:12:18.120
opposed to the racism, opposed to Steve Bannon and the horrible white supremacy that he seems to stand for.
00:12:26.800
Absolutely want to defend the planet as our great David Attenborough has...
00:12:31.620
Yeah, I'm not sure how that's going to work with Donald Trump.
00:12:34.320
Donald Trump takes things personally for good or for bad.
00:12:37.620
If you, frankly, suck up to him, boy, does he shine that love light on you.
00:12:44.860
But if you insult him and disrespect him, he'll repay it in kind ten times over.
00:12:50.160
There was news halfway through the campaign that the UK Labour Party was putting together dozens,
00:12:55.840
perhaps hundreds of volunteers, including staff, to go over to the United States to campaign against Trump.
00:13:04.300
Oh, the Trumps did not like that, including Donald Trump Jr., I think, responded to that.
00:13:12.180
I think the UK is going to have a bit of a tough time.
00:13:15.900
But I think Donald Trump will be better for the United Kingdom than the Labour Party itself.
00:13:23.680
But there's some islands called the Chagos or Chagos Islands, one of which you may have heard of before.
00:13:32.180
And it's a very tiny and obscure island, but it's incredibly important because it is the forward air force base used by different allies, especially the United States.
00:13:47.100
So that's where they base B-52 bombers, B-2 bombers.
00:13:51.060
It's this island in the middle of the Pacific, Diego Garcia.
00:13:54.620
And the Labour government of the UK just decided to hand it back to, I forget who it originally was owned by, I don't know, Indonesia or something.
00:14:05.220
But the Labour Party was just going to give it up, just like they gave Hong Kong back to China.
00:14:15.220
Well, there's speculation in the British press that Donald Trump will intervene and stop the UK from giving away this strategic island.
00:14:25.060
In a way, Donald Trump is the grown-up to David Lammy's childish student council-style politics.
00:14:32.500
If you think David Lammy is dumb, well, of course, you haven't met our foreign minister, Melanie Jolie,
00:14:38.900
who has been disparaging Trump and saying we have an emergency action plan if he's elected.
00:14:47.840
There are some grown-ups out there, or at least some serious people.
00:14:51.460
Vladimir Putin is taking Donald Trump's arrival extremely seriously.
00:14:56.320
Donald Trump has talked about stopping to subsidize the Ukraine war,
00:15:00.340
which is basically NATO countries pumping in money and weapons and Ukrainian soldiers doing the dying.
00:15:10.800
It has killed probably hundreds of thousands of Russians.
00:15:14.140
We don't know the exact number, but at the cost of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians.
00:15:18.720
And the tearing up of Ukraine and the violation of its borders, Trump says he will end this war almost immediately.
00:15:28.440
In fact, they came to an almost deal in 2022 before Boris Johnson scotched it.
00:15:33.940
Here's a clip of Vladimir Putin, I played this last night, I'll play it again today,
00:15:38.400
saying he was sure that Donald Trump was sincere.
00:15:43.760
But this is a man who looks ready to negotiate the end of a bloody war.
00:15:49.460
And I don't know about you, but if you value peace and an end to the bloodshed,
00:15:57.240
This, by the way, was before the election, a couple of days before.
00:16:02.140
Well, you know, the fact that Mr. Trump, as a presidential candidate,
00:16:07.020
says that he is ready and wants to stop the war in Ukraine,
00:16:16.580
Well, I haven't seen his ideas on how exactly he's going to do that.
00:16:25.180
But I have no doubt that he says that sincerely, and we support that.
00:16:29.760
How can you not think ending a war is a hopeful thing?
00:16:33.820
Obviously, it will end on terms both sides have to agree to.
00:16:37.840
But I think that is better than the constant meat grinder that's going on there.
00:16:48.900
I mean, I don't think that Donald Trump is working the phone.
00:16:51.320
He was up till 3 or 4 a.m. last night, and he was up today working the phones,
00:16:58.360
He had a phone call, apparently, with Narendra Modi of India,
00:17:03.200
the largest country in the world, one of the fastest-growing economies in the world,
00:17:11.320
You might remember a few years ago they had the Howdy Modi big rally in Texas
00:17:18.100
And Trump and Modi were holding hands in the Eastern tradition.
00:17:24.560
He had a call list, and he started going through it right away.
00:17:30.400
I'm guessing that Justin Trudeau was not on his call sheet today.
00:17:35.280
What would Trump possibly want to say to Justin Trudeau?
00:17:40.800
I mean, I suppose he could say, you better get your NATO 2% spending of your GDP for the military up.
00:17:47.500
But I think he would have an underling pass that message on.
00:17:50.920
I saw a report on a Lebanese news channel in Arabic.
00:17:57.100
About a promise that Donald Trump had made to Muslims and Arabs, especially to win over the state of Michigan,
00:18:06.700
because there's a large Muslim population in Michigan, in Detroit, in Dearborn, in Hamtramck.
00:18:14.660
In fact, Hamtramck, it's a majority Muslim town in the United States.
00:18:21.800
I don't know what the breakdown is by ethnicity or race.
00:18:29.460
So how could Donald Trump, who has been such an ally of Israel, of Benjamin Netanyahu, and of the Jews, frankly,
00:18:35.680
how could he at the same time reach out to Muslims and Arabs?
00:18:39.460
And, I mean, I know how Kamala Harris tried to do it.
00:18:42.860
She had different messages for different people.
00:18:46.700
Trudeau says one thing when he's at a Jewish synagogue, and another thing when he's at a Muslim mosque.
00:18:51.160
But Donald Trump, I think, said the same thing in both places, which is, we'll end the violence and bring peace.
00:18:58.940
And actually, I think Donald Trump is credible on that, because didn't he broker the Abraham Accords?
00:19:05.240
And isn't it true that during his tenure there were no new wars in the world, or at least none involving the United States?
00:19:12.060
And we just talked about the war in Ukraine, Donald Trump says he'll end it.
00:19:15.600
Isn't that something that Muslim Americans want?
00:19:19.820
And let me read to you something that Jared Kushner, who is Donald Trump's son-in-law, but he's much more than just a son-in-law.
00:19:27.980
He was a senior advisor on the Abraham Accords.
00:19:31.460
Let me read to you something that Kushner published on Twitter after Israel had a series of miraculous sneak attacks on the terrorist group called Hezbollah.
00:19:42.220
You might recall that Israel managed to infiltrate Hezbollah and sell them sort of old-school walkie-talkies and pagers with a little explosive device in them, incredibly.
00:19:57.140
And all at once, the pagers went beep, beep, beep.
00:19:59.600
And these terrorists would, these were special terrorist pagers.
00:20:02.900
They would all pick them up and push the buttons, like read or whatever, and it would detonate.
00:20:09.500
And it killed or maimed thousands of the terrorist leadership.
00:20:14.860
And then they attacked and killed the head of Hezbollah, wiped out their leadership.
00:20:26.220
And it absolutely debilitated what was the largest terrorist group in the world.
00:20:39.800
They wiped out the entire leadership and just put it in disarray.
00:20:45.320
And let me read to you what Jared Kushner wrote.
00:20:48.360
And it's important because Jared Kushner is the one who brokered the peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Sudan and Bahrain.
00:21:04.480
Iranian leadership is stuck in the old Middle East.
00:21:07.220
While their neighbors in the Gulf Cooperation Council, that's Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates,
00:21:12.280
are sprinting toward the future by investing in their populations and infrastructure.
00:21:17.140
They're becoming dynamic magnets for talent and investment, while Iran falls further behind.
00:21:23.020
As the Iranian proxies and threats dissipate, regional security and prosperity will rise for Christians, Muslims, and Jews alike.
00:21:32.360
Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north.
00:21:42.280
It's unfortunate how we got here, but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end.
00:21:49.460
He starts off by saying, I could never figure out how to deal with Hezbollah.
00:21:52.860
It was the gun to the head of anything in the West.
00:21:56.580
And Israel smacked the gun out of the hand of Iran.
00:22:02.600
Donald Trump said to the Muslims and the Arabs, vote for me, I'll end the war, bring peace.
00:22:08.380
And what is Donald Trump as a businessman and a prosperity generator?
00:22:16.280
And that's what Jared Kushner is talking about.
00:22:18.840
It is possible to continue the Abraham Accords, to have a second round.
00:22:23.480
So if the desire from Arab Americans and Muslim Americans is a genuine peace and prosperity like Dubai, Trump can do it.
00:22:33.320
If it's the hateful encampments and protests we see on the streets, it won't happen.
00:22:37.900
But remember, those are largely Iranian puppets.
00:22:43.160
All right, let's move on from that subject, although it's very interesting, I think.
00:22:49.040
Now, we all stayed up late because we wanted to watch Donald Trump's acceptance speech.
00:22:55.100
He did the thank yous and he came on stage with his family.
00:23:04.320
I think he said he did 900 events this campaign.
00:23:10.820
He was doing three, like, two-hour rallies a day where he would speak at a great length.
00:23:20.700
But you know who didn't have a moment last night?
00:23:25.720
Now, she lost, but she put in, I suppose, a good effort, you could say.
00:23:32.360
And she had thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of volunteers.
00:23:38.840
And she had them gather at Howard University, which is a historically black university,
00:23:47.120
That was where her core people, her superfans were.
00:23:50.360
And then suddenly, out of the blue, a campaign chairman comes in and says,
00:24:04.720
So you won't hear from the vice president tonight.
00:24:13.260
She will be back here tomorrow to address not only the HU family,
00:24:18.380
not only to address her supporters, but to address the nation.
00:24:33.480
Yeah, so much for the girl boss, I'm speaking, don't interrupt me, which is one of her lines.
00:24:46.960
I mean, yes, you call the winner, and you concede, and you say, good luck, and I'll help, and let's bring this country back together.
00:24:57.460
But you've got nothing to say to your own team, to your own family, to your staff, to volunteers, even just to the people in that room.
00:25:07.780
You don't even take a minute to say something like, well, we don't like the way it's going.
00:25:12.780
We're going to wait before we make any final announcement.
00:25:16.340
There's still ballots to come in, but I just want to tell you I'm very grateful.
00:25:30.600
I understand she's scheduled to make some announcement today at 6 p.m. Eastern time, which I'll be recording this before that happens.
00:25:39.080
And really, almost who cares what she has to say?
00:25:42.200
The proof of the pudding is in the taste, and we all see what the result is.
00:25:45.780
We all see that she lost every demographic except for a tiny bit of growth in seniors and a tiny bit of growth in college-educated women.
00:25:58.480
Men especially, I think, were being sick of disparaged Latino men and black men.
00:26:07.100
And, of course, the demographic that was the most against her were Gen X, people my age.
00:26:18.580
It's sort of funny, if you want to use the word funny, that she has to go back to being Joe Biden's second banana now.
00:26:26.840
I mean, Kamala Harris can't just sort of slink away into obscurity.
00:26:32.560
It's actually an important job in the Constitution, vice president.
00:26:35.560
She breaks tie votes in the Senate, and she takes over from the president if he's incapacitated, which has happened before.
00:26:41.560
But she's got to go back and basically look Joe Biden in the eye.
00:26:47.940
Now, I don't know if Joe Biden would have done any better.
00:26:50.860
But it is sort of funny that for the next two months she's got to face the man that she stabbed in the back to have her chance, and she flopped.
00:26:58.720
Now, some observers, and by that I mean media and political observers, understand what happened.
00:27:09.620
Donald Trump addressed issues that people are worried about, prosperity, crime, open borders, mass immigration driving down wages, driving up housing prices.
00:27:26.380
His cultural view about making America great again and a leader amongst world nations.
00:27:34.240
I mean, standing up against transgenderism in school, supporting entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, who had an important role.
00:27:44.860
And we talked to Kamala Harris was for abortion against Nazis.
00:27:50.560
She got a drubbing in the polls last night, but the pundits didn't get a drubbing.
00:27:54.600
No one could vote against the CBC or the Toronto Star.
00:27:58.100
I mean, take a look at this exchange on the CBC last night where they had someone on, again, using the word Nazi.
00:28:08.860
Let's talk about exactly the question that you're asking is one that I've been catching a lot of heat for answering on air,
00:28:15.600
and we've been talking about this in the last week or two.
00:28:18.040
You're talking about the propaganda campaign and the playbook of Trump.
00:28:30.540
This is a way to, I mean, the things that Trump has done masterfully, frankly, is to get the entire, you know,
00:28:39.940
to get a big part of the population to believe that the game is rigged and to sow distrust in public institutions and the free press.
00:28:52.500
That is a tried-and-true playbook that we have seen time and time before that has resulted in really disastrous things for society,
00:29:03.560
When you tell a big enough lie over and over and over, people are going to believe it.
00:29:08.500
Even when folks around him, like Rudy Giuliani and others, have literally been found liable for telling those lies that weren't true,
00:29:18.600
the public still believes it, and the whole goal was to erode trust in our public institutions, and it's working.
00:29:28.280
I mean, Donald Trump has done that really well.
00:29:33.860
And then you have this other idea of, like, let's make America great and go backwards, where America, you know,
00:29:40.460
essentially the power structure in America was, you know, made up mostly of a certain kind of person, right?
00:29:48.000
And you're seeing that play out in these elections, too.
00:29:51.060
And so I do think that we're at a tipping point where it's going to be, like, really, really tight for a while.
00:29:55.280
So all those pundits, all the media who totally bought into the Kamala Harris BS,
00:30:03.580
I don't think that they will have the reckoning that the Democratic Party will surely be going through right now.
00:30:08.680
Right now, the Democratic Party is saying, how did we lose?
00:30:12.960
Maybe they'll think about, well, maybe by bullying Donald Trump, engaging in blatant lawfare,
00:30:18.440
trying to imprison our opponents, making outlandish charges against him.
00:30:22.540
And I don't know, I don't know if that's connected to the assassination attempt on him.
00:30:28.100
But I think a lot of people thought those things that he had to bear were signs of his character.
00:30:36.680
And a lot of people say Donald Trump is poor character.
00:30:41.400
But when it counted, when he was shot, almost killing him, he stood up and said, fight, fight, fight.
00:30:47.340
And when they convicted him of this and fined him for that and charged him for this or that,
00:30:54.080
He showed what it's like to be a man, to defend himself.
00:30:57.100
And everyone knows he defends America in the same way.
00:31:11.740
And people's confidence that you're going to carry them out.
00:31:14.380
I don't even know what Kamala Harris stands for.
00:31:16.580
And I don't think she's actually done anything in her life, unlike Trump.
00:31:27.300
Here's a clip I showed last night of CNN talking to a young woman from Puerto Rico
00:31:31.460
and trying to get her all mad that some comedian at a Trump rally said something mean about Puerto Rico.
00:31:40.280
She says, I don't like insults against Puerto Ricans, but I want to have a better life.
00:31:53.340
So that was like, I was like, wow, I don't really like that, you know.
00:32:02.900
So as a Puerto Rican, you're okay with that, though?
00:32:06.900
I just think, you know, like people, like everyone has opinions.
00:32:11.400
Like, you know, if they don't like Puerto Ricans, it hurts, of course.
00:32:15.380
But at the end of the day, I'm okay with who I am.
00:32:18.280
And at the end of the day, I want to be able to have a better life in the future.
00:32:23.560
Yeah, CNN really, really wanted this young lady to say, I'm so mad at this, what this comedian says,
00:32:30.960
that I'm going to vote for a big government party that believes in high housing prices, inflation, and open books.
00:32:37.320
In fact, Puerto Rico now has a Republican governor.
00:32:49.160
Congress, the popular voters I mentioned, and the Senate in the United States is quite important.
00:32:54.380
It vets all appointees, including for the Supreme Court of the United States.
00:32:59.700
Expect smooth sailing when it's Trump's people vetting Trump's people.
00:33:04.320
I'm really excited about the dream team Trump's bringing with them.
00:33:06.860
Can you name anyone in Kamala Harris's cabinet, either the cabinet that exists now for Joe Biden, or her would-be cabinet?
00:33:17.240
We know him because he was a McKinsey consultant, but what has he ever done?
00:33:25.920
And if he can, is it for anything they've done that's good?
00:33:29.200
Donald Trump is bringing a team of RFK Jr. to make America healthy again.
00:33:44.020
I think one of the big differences between Trump in 2024 and Trump in 2016 is he knows that who he hired last time was often a weakness.
00:33:56.760
He would hire people in key positions who either were bad at the job, didn't share his views, or were disloyal to him.
00:34:05.960
And, you know, Trump doesn't admit mistakes very often.
00:34:16.000
But I want to show you a clip of an odious man.
00:34:20.820
You might recognize him from the World Economic Forum.
00:34:23.460
He's sort of their in-house futurist and deep thinker, a muse, if you like.
00:34:30.180
And here's what he said a few days, a little bit before the election, about what will happen to the global order.
00:34:37.200
Are you concerned that Trump might be elected again shortly?
00:34:41.620
And if it happens, it is likely to be the kind of, like, the death blow to what remains of the global order.
00:34:52.920
Now, again, it should be clear that many of these politicians, they present a false dichotomy,
00:35:02.120
a false binary vision of the world, as if you have to choose between patriotism and globalism, between being loyal to your nation and being loyal to some kind of, I don't know, global government or whatever.
00:35:18.720
Well, he's dead wrong when he says you can be a patriot and an internationalist at the same time.
00:35:24.140
Of course, you can be a patriot and have good relations with other countries.
00:35:27.820
You can have agreements and treaties, that's for sure.
00:35:30.500
But the whole World Economic Forum model is that you have some crypto government done in secret that then injects the policy into the cadaver of once independent countries.
00:35:43.340
I know that because I've been to the World Economic Forum year after year, and I see how they operate.
00:35:47.660
Anyway, so I love the fact that he's absolutely terrified about the future world, according to the WEF.
00:35:58.200
I think of other things that are just going to be screeching to the halt.
00:36:01.680
You know, every year they have the UN Global Warming Conference.
00:36:04.840
They call it the Conference of the Parties or COP.
00:36:06.880
Well, the next one is actually next week in Baku, Azerbaijan.
00:36:11.400
And they always get together to scheme up global carbon taxes and the like.
00:36:16.180
I don't know if Justin Trudeau is going to go or send someone.
00:36:19.780
If it was somewhere cool like Paris or Bali, he'd probably go.
00:36:23.400
He'll send a junior staffer because it's in Azerbaijan.
00:36:28.040
If the United States is going to laugh and scoff at them like it did under the Trump years, it really is just a pantomime, isn't it?
00:36:36.220
Something else that I think is going to be scotched is the globalist censorship plans, especially if they touch U.S.-based companies, which they do.
00:36:46.180
A lot of the social media in the world, at least in the free world, is Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, etc.
00:36:53.240
Those are all America-based companies, Twitter especially, or X as it's now called.
00:36:58.520
So if you're Brazil and you're censoring Twitter or if the European Union or the U.K. wants to censor Twitter, well, now Donald Trump has something to say about that.
00:37:08.220
I would watch out if I was the European Union or Brazil and thought I could simply censor or punish an American company.
00:37:18.320
He doesn't let people get away with things anymore.
00:37:21.240
I think censorship plans are going to be stalled.
00:37:23.680
I know that J.D. Vance, when he was a senator, wrote a scorching letter to Ireland saying that he was watching Ireland's censorship bill.
00:37:30.800
It's interesting, the countries that feel confident and optimistic again.
00:37:36.260
Israel, you can just watch their leaders reaching out to Trump last night and this morning.
00:37:40.600
Israel, Hungary, Viktor Orban, who actually endorsed Trump, which is very unusual for a foreign head state.
00:37:48.140
El Salvador's president who, as you know, Nayib Bukele, built a huge prison, gathered up all the gang members, put them in there, and crime is plummeted.
00:38:00.000
He is a fit for Donald Trump because they both love freedom and they love cryptocurrency.
00:38:05.640
Argentina's Javier Mille, who's got wild hair like Trump and, you know, he talks about freedom and he has a Spanish swear in there.
00:38:19.980
The losers, I would put China and Iran in those categories.
00:38:23.100
The Ukraine war will surely end as it should have ended two years ago before Boris Johnson interfered with it.
00:38:31.180
You know, the pundits clenched their teeth and gnashed their teeth at the result.
00:38:37.040
I already showed you this CBC clip calling everyone they didn't like a Nazi authoritarian.
00:38:42.580
Just for fun, I was looking through various left-wing pundits' tweets.
00:38:49.920
And, boy, he sure loves calling Donald Trump a fascist.
00:38:53.520
And he's terrified that Donald Trump's going to lock everyone up.
00:38:56.680
Well, Trump didn't do any of that during the four years he was president.
00:39:05.060
They're the ones who tried to jail him, prosecuted him in bizarre lawsuits.
00:39:09.320
But let's say that Trump really was those things.
00:39:14.880
Let's take coins, tweets at face value if he is a fascist authoritarian.
00:39:22.440
Because none of the journalists who actually say that are acting today that way.
00:39:28.800
If a fascist, a true, real authoritarian fascist became president, let's just say here in Canada,
00:39:35.020
if a genuinely fascist authoritarian bully became prime minister, you would take steps.
00:39:45.200
You would perhaps sell your business, take gold or diamonds or cash, and get out of town.
00:39:53.300
You wouldn't just go to Sunday brunch and say, he's so fascist.
00:39:57.240
But you would actually, and I know what it's like, because when we had an authoritarian fascist
00:40:02.220
moment in this country in February of 2022, when the government brought in martial law
00:40:06.480
under the Emergencies Act, I know what we did here, and I've told you that before.
00:40:09.820
We prepaid all our staff a month's salary in case our bank account was seized.
00:40:14.660
We took money that we had in the bank and we prepaid lawyers a legal retainer for work.
00:40:29.900
I know what we did in real life when we were worried that there really was a fascist government
00:40:38.020
If you look at all these left-wing punters, oh, Trump's a fascist.
00:40:52.340
How many people would tune into the CBC to know what's going on?
00:40:56.120
Like I said, I watched the New York Times all night, and I don't even like them.
00:40:59.440
I just, if you want to know what's going on in the U.S. election, you should go to the New York Times.
00:41:03.220
Who would say, you know who really gets U.S. politics at the granular level?
00:41:10.960
That Rosemary Barton of the CBC, no one says that.
00:41:13.420
So in a way, who cares what Andrew Coyne and the Toronto Star and the CBC have to say?
00:41:29.500
Voters are not quite as dumb as the left-wing thinks they are.
00:41:38.800
Joy Reid saying, Kamala Harris ran the perfect campaign.
00:41:46.600
She had this pop star, and that pop star, and that pop star endorsed her.
00:41:54.960
Because these pop stars, can you imagine how dumb she thinks voters are?
00:42:00.740
That young Puerto Rican woman, oh, you're having trouble buying a house?
00:42:05.700
Well, did I tell you that Beyonce endorsed her?
00:42:12.520
Imagine thinking people are so stupid that they would respond to that.
00:42:15.960
Well, tens of millions did, but not enough to win.
00:42:19.320
And so what you've seen in the last couple of weeks, if this is an audition for managing a complex organization like the United States,
00:42:26.940
Kamala Harris has passed the audition flawlessly.
00:42:29.340
This has been, in many ways, a perfect campaign.
00:42:31.840
A brief, and she had barely any time to put it together.
00:42:34.580
But just as a managerial matter, it's been brilliantly done.
00:42:38.740
She's reached out to every possible constituent.
00:42:41.500
I really took you through a lot of things more comprehensively than I thought I would.
00:42:46.500
But can I leave you with a few clips from last time?
00:42:49.000
I just want to show you a few videos, just a taste here and there.
00:42:54.080
I don't know if you had a chance to tune in on our live stream, but we talked to all our rebels,
00:42:58.600
and we had other folks from the post-millennial, and we had Father Calvin Robinson join us.
00:43:04.240
We had Dr. James Lindsay and Gordon Chang, and it was actually pretty fun.
00:43:08.540
I'm not going to put it all here, because like I say, it was like an eight-hour live stream.
00:43:15.720
We're going to show you a video that Alexa recorded today.
00:43:18.340
I want to show you a few other things, just a sampling, so I won't put too much here.
00:43:23.740
But watch a little bit of our coverage last night.
00:43:29.480
On behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
00:43:34.360
So I guess my question is, what effect does RFK have on those independent voters,
00:43:51.720
I think it restores a level of trust, for sure, with the people who felt like Trump slighted them
00:43:57.640
through Operation Warp Speed, which did allow for that fast tracking of the COVID vaccines
00:44:08.380
But the more I spoke to people like Paul Elias Alexander, who was part of the team of advisors
00:44:14.640
to Trump during that tumultuous time in the beginnings of 2020 and the early stages of the
00:44:21.500
pandemic, was that he was really misled and misguided into that decision.
00:44:29.020
But I think that bringing in somebody like Robert F. Kennedy, who has typically,
00:44:36.460
Oh, I wouldn't let him near environment, that's for sure.
00:44:42.820
Yeah, and I think I saw rumblings as well that he would be part of the, of ag, of agriculture.
00:44:49.380
And so, you know, the food, the medicines, I think that under a Trump administration,
00:44:54.260
there's going to be a complete revamping of those agencies.
00:44:58.720
And as we see, you know, there was, there, Casey Means, when she joined Tucker Carlson several
00:45:03.680
weeks ago, saying 74% of Americans are now overweight or obese.
00:45:11.200
And children, especially, are not much further behind.
00:45:14.500
And so when you have a former Stanford trained surgeon sounding, leaving mainstream medicine,
00:45:20.020
sounding the alarm on the absolute devastating toll that these policies and the way that our
00:45:25.980
agencies are currently being run are having on our children, our future, it's alarming.
00:45:30.640
And I think that a cleaning of house is much needed.
00:45:33.100
And that's something that I'm very much excited to see moving forward under a Trump administration.
00:45:39.060
You know, I think that not only is it exciting, not only do I like RFK Jr.
00:45:43.660
because he's, he really is what liberals were supposed to be and what they were for a generation,
00:45:49.180
hopeful, loving, friendly, not so bloody divisive.
00:45:54.460
And it's a kind of penance for Donald Trump for believing the Anthony Fauci's and, and going
00:46:01.720
down that road and handing things over to big pharma.
00:46:05.520
Trump made some errors there that I don't actually think, I mean, Trump's not very good at saying
00:46:10.080
sorry, but I think putting RFK Jr. in those positions is more important than a sorry.
00:46:18.020
I was just looking at James's X account and already it seems as though the dirty tricks
00:46:25.280
Looks like there's a gas leak at one polling station and non-citizens on the border rolls.
00:46:34.160
We have to be very careful because we're currently broadcasting on the censorship platform of
00:46:37.860
YouTube while simultaneously streaming to rumble.
00:46:40.560
And there are things that we can say over there that we can't say on the other platform.
00:46:43.040
But what impact do you think these dirty tricks will have or are people more attuned to them now?
00:46:53.640
There are all kinds of weird evacuations taking place across Pennsylvania.
00:46:58.000
One of the counties in Pennsylvania, in fact, had its, its voting extended by two hours because
00:47:03.520
of the machines not working right throughout the day.
00:47:07.560
People have been being turned around, turned out all day saying things aren't working.
00:47:11.260
Things won't print right, whatever, come back later, fill out a provisional ballot.
00:47:16.420
There are similar problems, bomb threats being called in at various places.
00:47:20.760
Georgia is particularly bad for that, but they've also been in other places.
00:47:23.980
The really remarkable thing to point out about this is that they're only happening in swing
00:47:28.260
It's happening in virtually all of the swing states and it's not happening anywhere else,
00:47:36.040
this morning is another kind of remarkable, just a remarkable coincidence.
00:47:40.500
So it will have some impact because there will be people who showed up to vote who didn't
00:47:44.420
have time, who had to go back to work or who gave up and couldn't do what, you know,
00:47:49.320
the true difficult patriotic duty of standing in line longer, making sure that their vote
00:47:54.820
And so some of those people will end up having been turned away.
00:47:57.340
On the other hand, it will not have the kind of impact that I think the people might expect
00:48:02.960
that it might or fear that it might, because it's all being caught.
00:48:07.200
Legal experts, lawyers are intervening, the courts are intervening.
00:48:10.760
That's why this county in Pennsylvania has longer hours tonight.
00:48:15.120
And so a lot of it's being caught as it's happening and adjustments are being made, which
00:48:19.100
is a distinct difference from what was going on in 2020, where we're all kind of biting
00:48:22.940
our nails and sipping our bourbon and hoping things were going to work out.
00:48:27.820
So there's a lot more people on the ground keeping their eyes open and making sure things
00:48:33.220
So I'm hoping that the impact will be not zero, but minimal.
00:48:37.720
Now, I see our friend Alexa Lavoie is outside Trump Tower in New York City.
00:48:49.760
It's a lot, lots of people, a lot of MAGA hats, I would say.
00:48:55.100
You can just say, oh, and a lot of police also.
00:49:04.340
I think they are maybe scared that everything escalates when we know the results.
00:49:12.840
So they are now asking the people to push themselves out of the entrance of the Trump Tower.
00:49:31.820
So apparently I need to go to the other side of the street myself too.
00:49:36.500
But anyway, a lot of people, a lot of Jewish people, a lot of flag, American flag, it's all supporters of Donald Trump.
00:49:52.860
So we'll see what will happen when we will have the results.
00:49:57.340
I think it's imminent, so I need to go to the other side because the police is actually cleaning the place.
00:50:04.820
It's looking like we'll learn the results a lot sooner than last time.
00:50:13.020
I mean, it's regarded as a lefty city for Texas.
00:50:24.460
I understand Twitter is just moving, actually just recently moved to a suburb of Austin.
00:50:33.440
There's a lot of interesting ideas there, many of them fleeing from California.
00:50:39.720
Right, there's a massive tech scene here in Austin.
00:50:43.660
You were just talking about how Silicon Valley sort of flipped for Trump over the course of
00:50:50.020
And you really feel that here in Austin because I think a lot of the people who worked in tech,
00:50:55.460
who experienced that very left-wing culture, who experienced the consequences of some Democrat
00:51:00.860
urban policies in particular, as well as high taxes, a lot of them are people who moved
00:51:07.300
Well, that's the thing is San Francisco is, you know, adjacent to Silicon Valley.
00:51:15.900
San Francisco has one of the worst crime and drug abuse problems.
00:51:20.440
And we were just talking to Kurt Schlichter in L.A. who says, well, I live in a rich neighborhood.
00:51:24.920
These problems don't affect me well until they do.
00:51:27.920
The same thing can be said about Silicon Valley.
00:51:29.920
And we've heard tale after tale of high-powered executives being mugged, being beaten.
00:51:39.540
And, you know, there's a saying that a conservative is a liberal who's being mugged.
00:51:54.860
I think the number one factor is Twitter or X itself.
00:52:11.980
Because without X, Trump wouldn't have this massive platform for which to, you know, campaign.
00:52:18.620
No one would be allowed to campaign on his behalf either, right?
00:52:23.760
And we're seeing a huge shift in the way that the media covers this stuff.
00:52:27.420
Because they are fact-checked in real time anytime, you know, they make something up, right?
00:52:33.460
Like before, they would be able to get away with it.
00:52:36.120
We saw this with the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:52:38.220
We saw it with the Russian disinformation story.
00:52:44.720
But now when they make up a story and, you know, they made up like five, ten different stories in the past few weeks alone.
00:52:50.420
And we have countered that instantly to the point where, you know, you have people like Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper on CNN taking those talking points that we put out there to counter the lies and disinformation that are being, you know, pushed by less journalistic people like Joe Scarborough.
00:53:06.860
I am on 17th Street and this is what I referred to in my first hit, Ezra.
00:53:12.780
A lot of businesses here, starting with Frame Mender, an optical store.
00:53:18.820
And then we have McDonald's and the Potbelly Restaurant and Pete's Coffee.
00:53:24.980
The Potbelly, that's the restaurant where the building manager said, you are looking at $45,000 of plywood covering the windows.
00:53:34.900
So, obviously, these businesses, I guess as an insurance policy, are making sure they're fortified.
00:53:43.600
Now, I can tell you, Ezra, I'm experiencing a sense of deja vu in downtown Washington because it is like the Freedom Convoy days in Ottawa back in February of 2022,
00:53:57.780
which is to say huge police presence and certain streets are blocked off with police cruisers with their light bars flashing, typically those roads that lead to the White House.
00:54:10.880
I spoke to an officer off camera and I said, are you expecting any trouble?
00:54:23.340
But I got to tell you, there's like an ominous feeling in the air in terms of, I think, if Trump does win.
00:54:33.600
Because, like I said earlier, Ezra, I don't see MAGA Nation going on a rampage.
00:54:37.960
I do see Antifa, the pro-Hamas, Black Lives Matters, and all the rest going brick-throwing and Molotov cocktail to do, you know, a mostly peaceful protest.
00:54:49.800
And by the way, that won't be framed, you know, the narrative won't be an insurrection for their demonstration, their riot.
00:55:00.100
First hand, I will govern by a simple motto, promises made, promises kept.
00:55:10.520
Nothing will stop me from keeping my word to you, the people.
00:55:14.060
We will make America safe, strong, prosperous, powerful, and free again.
00:55:19.640
And I'm asking every citizen all across our land to join me in this noble and righteous endeavor.
00:55:25.960
It's time to put the divisions of the past four years behind us.
00:55:42.940
I saw that in the first term when we became more and more successful.
00:55:53.320
And we are going to start by all putting America first.
00:55:58.160
We have to put our country first for at least a period of time.
00:56:02.800
Because together we can truly make America great again for all Americans.
00:56:07.620
So I want to just tell you what a great honor this is.
00:56:13.960
America's future will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than it has ever
00:56:28.420
There you have the 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, giving a speech with
00:56:43.160
He talked about Elon Musk's rocket ship, which is his favorite story to tell on the campaign trail.
00:56:49.260
And we're going to get back to that style of speechifying, Donald Trump famous for giving
00:56:57.260
hour-long press scrums and calling first on his most hostile enemies in the press gallery.
00:57:05.800
Remember when Jim Acosta of CNN always used to just pillory and defame Trump, yet Trump
00:57:13.500
He liked the banter, how different and how much more authentic than Kamala Harris.
00:57:17.660
One thing I learned in the speech that I was not aware of is that as of now, Donald Trump
00:57:26.960
You know, the Democrats usually have that advantage because they rack up huge majorities in big
00:57:37.900
The statistics I just saw said that Trump is millions of votes ahead of Kamala Harris.
00:57:43.980
Now, here's the other thing I can't understand.
00:57:45.560
As of when I just checked a moment ago, Kamala Harris had 63 million votes.
00:58:14.940
And he did all this with the entire establishment against him, the media establishment, the legal
00:58:21.440
establishment, the cultural establishment, Wall Street.
00:58:26.180
He had a fraction of Silicon Valley, but the money isn't what gave him the advantage.
00:58:36.120
I think I just saw some lefty tweet that basically that Trump won all of these measurements.
00:58:47.500
And the growth that Trump had amongst groups who allegedly hate him, Muslims, Arabs, blacks, Latinos, etc., is that if you're still using the language of, you know, you're bigoted, you're anti-gay.
00:59:00.400
If you're still name-calling, if you're on the left and you're still trying those moves, you haven't learned a bloody thing and you're going to lose again.
00:59:10.300
I take some courage from tonight, some encouragement.
00:59:14.020
I think that people in Canada are fed up with a lot of the same things, too.
00:59:18.460
We're not as bold as Americans, but I think our time will come.
00:59:36.660
We know, I can hardly wait to see who his attorney general is going to be.
00:59:39.780
I can hardly wait to see who his secretary of state is going to be.
00:59:42.040
I think he's going to make much better appointments and personnel decisions this time than the last time around because he learned his lesson.
00:59:51.920
I love knowing that Donald Trump feels exactly the same way as I do on RFK.
00:59:58.960
He's the right guy to be in charge of making America healthy again.
01:00:08.840
Do whatever you want with health and big pharma and agriculture.
01:00:13.600
Worry about high fructose corn syrup in all the foods.
01:00:17.780
But don't you dare go anywhere near the energy sector.
01:00:21.920
Because I have been an RFK skeptic because I do disagree with him on all of his viewpoints on the energy sector and the environment.
01:00:35.440
But such is conservatism, where you can be completely in disagreement with somebody on one issue and not throw the baby out with the bathwater and see the value in them on the things that they're passionate about.
01:00:47.840
So that made me feel really happy and I'm glad Trump made a bit of a joke about it.
01:00:52.100
But most of all, I want to thank the millions of hardworking Americans across the nation who have always been the heart and soul of this really great movement.
01:01:04.200
And today you showed up in record numbers to deliver a victory.
01:01:07.680
Like really, like really, I probably, like no other, this was something, this was something special.
01:01:13.500
And we're going to, we're going to pay you back.
01:01:26.040
Well, so many ways, but we're going to do it in every way.
01:01:28.340
This will forever be remembered as the day the American people regained control of their country.
01:01:40.080
So I just want to say that on behalf of this great group of people, these are hardworking people.
01:01:48.700
And a burden has been lifted off of me because I felt the campaign was going well.
01:02:01.840
Rebel News is turning 10 in a couple of months.
01:02:05.520
And I should say that we were, other than Conrad Black, the only journalists in Canada to not only predict Donald Trump's win, but to support it.
01:02:18.180
And we maintained that he was the disruptor, the only person who could take on the deep state and win.
01:02:30.120
And I can hardly wait for tomorrow and thereafter.
01:02:35.040
I'm just relieved that our long campaign watching this is over.
01:02:42.480
It feels like it's just a constant state of campaigning in the United States.
01:02:46.780
I'm really, really pleased to know that the biggest losers besides the Kamala Harris team is, of course, the media, who got everything wrong, continue to get everything wrong.
01:02:57.880
And as you said, will explain to us why we were wrong to support Trump tomorrow morning, to excuse their failures.
01:03:07.060
And as long as they remain bad, I'll always have job security.
