Ron DeSantis is my favorite governor in the country, and he's a role model for Canadian conservatives. He's smart, hard-working, and knows how to use every tool at his disposal to get things done. And he's not even close to being a liberal.
00:00:00.000Hello, my friends. I want to tell you more about my favorite U.S. governor and what he's done now. And if that's a role model for Canadian conservatives, of course it is. I wonder if anyone will follow it. That's next. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com.

00:00:28.220It's how we pay our salaries around here. Because, you know, we've got a whole staff of people, and we don't take any money from Justin Trudeau, so we rely on you. Thanks for your help. All right, here's today's show.
00:00:43.520Tonight, let me tell you a story about my favorite U.S. governor and what we can learn from him. It's October 27th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:52.260We're fighting for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:01:07.420All the polls show that Donald Trump is going to win the Republican presidential primary.
00:01:12.760And that Harvard-Harris poll I showed you the other day suggests that if an election were held today, Trump would win and handily, beating Joe Biden by 6%, if I recall.
00:01:26.060By the way, that's a bigger margin of victory than any president has received since Obama clobbered John McCain 15 years ago.
00:01:34.700Now, it's just a poll, but it shows that no matter what the deep state has thrown at Trump so far,
00:01:39.840a lot of people still want him back. It really is incredible when you stop to think of how desperate things have become in America and around the world in just three years since the last election.
00:01:50.360The economy, American prestige in the world, wars and rumors of wars.
00:01:56.400I think Trump could win the next election, even if he were in prison, he could win.
00:02:02.020I'm actually worried that he might be assassinated.
00:02:04.220So they tried to do to Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro just weeks before his historic election a few years back.
00:02:13.460I mean, why wouldn't they try and kill Trump?
00:02:17.300So maybe Trump will be the next president.
00:02:19.860But as long as Trump is running, I think Ron DeSantis will not be able to break through.
00:21:15.160All the civilians armed in the settlement, the head of the settlement, like a really leader, go first.
00:21:29.940After this, the army and the police arrived here and together with the civilians stopped this horrible attack.
00:21:42.580After they came and killed all the family or shoot on everyone, woman, little children, old men, the family gets inside the safety room and lock himself inside.
00:21:59.760The terrorists from Hamas burned the house.
00:22:04.460If you can see, you see that the safe house, the safe room is normal.
00:22:14.160The civilians, the civilians and the army and the police came after this, can arrive to the window and get outside.
00:22:24.920And each family very, very slowly because in this street that you see here, guns fights, missile, grenades.
00:22:36.720And it's not one hour, it's a really war, 48 hours in this street, you have a big mess.
00:22:51.380But with the bravery, it was very brave, the civilian, the police, the army to stop this.
00:22:59.700Eerie walking around those streets and hearing the stories and hearing it from the people that were on the front line from the beginning.
00:23:04.420The colonel that spoke to me, he was, he gave me so much of his time and he told me off camera the reason why I'm doing this.
00:23:12.000I never told you, he actually said to me, I've, my whole military career, which has been in the army for about 30 years, he's always avoided the cameras.
00:23:22.340But he said that it's come to a point now, something that he's never witnessed in his life, that he realized that part of his job,
00:23:29.500so his first job initially, in the initial hours, he tells us that within two and a half, two and a half to three hours of the attack,
00:23:38.040so at about 8, I think 8.30 or 9 a.m., he was already on the ground fighting the terrorists, the 3,000 terrorists that had entered Israel.
00:23:48.540In one house, I found the father out from the room, and the family was inside, waiting to us.
00:23:59.760The father was out with a gun, all the magazine is over, and his other hand has a knife.
00:24:09.500And he said, he, after they, they reclaimed the land and killed or captured the terrorists and closed the border off,
00:24:28.860then, of course, securing the border was important, but then he realized a part of his job was to ensure that the world knows what happened there,
00:24:37.420because, he said, a bit like the Holocaust, people try to deny these things and minimize it or whatever,
00:24:44.180and it's important for the world to know what he saw.
00:24:47.380He says, no video, no images, no nothing can actually illustrate the horrors that he personally witnessed.
00:24:59.400So, you know, he's, he's obviously on the front line fighting the battle, but also part of his fight, he says,
00:25:06.480is to take media and media with reach around, you know, it doesn't matter which network,
00:25:14.560anyone that's willing to come out there that, that, that seems like they're actually in good faith,
00:27:57.820Uh, on 6.30 in the morning, we got a message that we need to go quick as much as, as we can to Sderot
00:28:04.760because we got, uh, information about the invasion of many terrorists over there.
00:28:10.180And actually when we started to drive to Sderot, uh, next to Yad Mordechai, uh, we got, uh, shot two times by RPG and, uh, thanks God they missed us.
00:28:23.300Uh, after, uh, some fire that we were, uh, conducting over there, we started to move to Sderot because we got, uh, information by the radio
00:28:34.220that, uh, the, uh, the, uh, different policemen are asking for help because they tried to invade inside the police station.
00:30:16.520Look, the audience needs to go back to the truth, the truthaboutthewar.com because there's so many videos coming out of the work that we've been doing on the ground and everyone was speaking to.
00:30:38.580We spoke to a few soldiers on base yesterday, a couple of soldiers on base who were prepared to go in.
00:30:42.940And they were so, um, well articulated in the way, in the way they, they're the kind of faces that the media refuses to show that it dispels a whole myth of what the IDF soldier is that the mainstream media paints them as.
00:30:58.400They were the most, um, genuine people.
00:31:03.120And you can hear, they don't really want to go to war, but they say, we have to go to war.
00:31:06.380I don't want to kill anyone, but we have to defend our people.
00:31:09.480I wish this wasn't happening, but this is our reality.
00:31:11.720So as somebody who did three years, made Aliyah, from a different country, somebody who's married, I have a whole lot of stuff going on in my life, a lot of different priorities.
00:31:20.200The guys who are in Miluim, guys who have families, guys who have been here, been there, want to go to war, don't want to go to war.
00:31:25.300There are civilians who were called up. People have a lot of stuff to live for, a lot of things on their mind.
00:31:29.680This is a war. This is an initiative that has just united everybody in a way that I've never seen.
00:31:34.060Never seen, not in the Jewish people, not land of Israel, not in the military, nowhere.
00:31:37.680So you want to ask about morale, there's nothing people want more than to just go in there and not kill, not avenge, not bloodthirsty.
00:31:46.380To just get some justice done, to really just erase this threat, bring peace to southern Israel, which has been for so, so, so long.
00:31:53.320It's about time. People can live in peace and they can play basketball on their front lawn and they can play with their kids on a Saturday afternoon
00:31:59.720and not worry about people coming in and slaughtering, you know, 50% of their community.
00:32:03.360That's something that really unites everybody and even though there's been three weeks and we've been pushed off,
00:32:07.860we've had plans that have been, you know, cancelled and rescheduled again and again and again and I'm sure there still will be.
00:32:13.640People are, with a smile, even if it's an internal smile sometimes, ready to go in and just completely charged and ready to go.
00:32:20.480No, you know, me personally, I try to lift up the Avira, like the vibes, you know, because it is hard times, but it doesn't mean, you know, we have to always be strong and keep going.
00:32:31.760We spoke to a couple of soldiers that, we kind of saw it from the side where they walked up to the minister that he'd done on and they were, you know,
00:32:40.940we overheard them telling the minister, don't be afraid, make sure we go in, we're ready, we understand the cost, but this needs to be done.
00:32:48.800And so I kind of ran after them and said, you know, can you tell me what this is about?
00:32:54.320And he basically told it to us, yes, we get it, there's changes or whatever, but we want to make sure that our government's not getting cold feet
00:33:03.620because this has to be done because we don't want the next generations having this same fight.
00:33:07.860That's it, that was a red line that was crossed and we have to make sure to fight it.
00:33:13.040So, and Danny also responded to it by saying that he agreed with the soldiers.
00:33:20.460Finally, today, today was a hard one because we spent some, a fair bit of time with the families of kidnapped hostages in Gaza right now.
00:33:33.740And I think that, that one's being produced as we speak and it was, it was so difficult.
00:33:38.720And one that stands out to me is the cousin of, what was her name?
00:33:44.840Mia, Mia something, Mia, she's well known because Hamas,
00:33:50.120she's the one that Hamas released the video of her and just hearing her cousin talk.
00:33:55.280It's like, it's heartbreaking, but it's so important for the world to be reminded about what this all started with
00:34:02.100and what's still happening today, even though the mainstream media by large is trying to, to stop people from remembering,
00:34:11.820hoping people forget so that they can demonize Israel.
00:34:14.860As usual, Ezra, we'll continue to follow the story and, and see if this ground invasion happens over the weekend.
00:34:22.420Right now, our sources are confused and we're getting confused messaging.
00:34:26.980The only thing that is clear is 100% sometime in the near future, the ground invasion will begin.
00:34:34.520There has been small inversion, invasion, uh, um, incursions in the last 24 hours.
00:34:41.460The military says that they'll continue to do those, which is clearing, uh, the entry into Gaza.
00:34:47.260We'll keep watching it here from the frontline.
00:34:49.700Well, it's been a couple of weeks of really busy news, hasn't it?
00:35:55.920And I'm going to participate in the conference, but we'll also do news from the conference.
00:35:59.660So I'm going to try and do some shows from the UK about what this ARC forum, this antidote to the W-E-F, is like.
00:36:09.500Now, I won't be doing shows every single day because it's, because of the timing and, and, you know, it's just not as easy as when I'm here at the studio.
00:36:17.420So Sheila and David Menzies may take the odd show for me next week.
00:36:21.780But it is my hope to do several shows from London.
00:36:25.280And there's going to be so many interesting people at this ARC forum conference.
00:36:29.180I'm sure we're going to buttonhole, like I understand Bjorn Lomborg, the skeptical environmentalist, is speaking.
00:36:35.780Of course, I mentioned that Jordan Peterson himself is speaking.
00:36:38.560I haven't actually gone through the whole speakers list yet.
