Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ RCMP considers crack down on Trudeau's critics amid crime wave

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. This crazy comments by Mike DuM, the new leader of the RCMP, handpicked

00:00:06.440 by Justin Trudeau, just frankly makes Brenda Luckey look non-partisan. Really, really bad

00:00:14.900 stuff. I want to take you through it. I want you to see the video version of what we're doing today.

00:00:40.320 adds up for us. That's how we pay our bills. That's rebelnewsplus.com. All right, here's today's show.

00:00:54.640 Tonight, the RCMP looks at the crime wave in Canada and thinks,

00:01:04.800 we need to crack down on Trudeau's political critics. It's May 16th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:10.100 You fighting for freedom! Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:01:24.640 There's a massive crime wave in Canada of all sorts, especially dramatic, violent crime. I mean,

00:01:32.360 in Toronto and other big cities, car robberies aren't just car robberies anymore. They're home

00:01:38.840 invasions to get the key fobs to rob the cars. And you remember that clip about a month or two ago

00:01:46.060 of a Toronto cop saying, leave your keys near the front door so these home invaders get what they

00:01:51.960 want easily. That was his crime fighting advice. Remember that insane clip?

00:01:56.940 To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door.

00:02:02.380 Because they're breaking into your home to steal your car. They don't want anything else.

00:02:06.060 A lot of them that they're arresting have guns on them. And they're not toy guns. They're real guns.

00:02:10.860 They're loaded.

00:02:11.720 And that's just now considered regular, normal background crime. You have shocking crimes like

00:02:17.660 the $20 million gold heist. And just every species of crime is higher. It's almost like

00:02:24.440 riding the subway in Toronto is like riding the subway in New York City now. Very dangerous.

00:02:31.380 It's terrible in big cities. But everywhere, I mean, what even is crime in the mind of the liberals?

00:02:38.540 And I say this because something that we regarded as a low-rung crime that would get you climbing up

00:02:44.700 the ladder of criminality, namely using hard drugs, the government now has normalized and legalized

00:02:52.920 that. In fact, the disgraceful cabinet minister, Yara Sachs, is basically Trudeau's drug pusher trying 0.78

00:02:59.420 to get hard drugs out on the streets to the addicts. They want to continue that. So they don't even

00:03:06.260 regard that as crime. Trudeau was very blunt when he ended Stephen Harper's mandatory minimum

00:03:13.860 sentences. And that goes to my point of, I don't think Trudeau thinks crimes are crimes. He's like

00:03:18.980 those George Soros DAs in the United States that don't hold people on bail, don't pursue charges against

00:03:26.520 left-wing criminals. And when I say left-wing criminals, there is a political crime wave too,

00:03:32.740 of course. You recently saw that the Arrive Can app, really an $80,000 app, that the government was

00:03:39.520 billed more than $60 million for. Turns out the schemers behind that actually have fleeced the

00:03:46.920 taxpayers for a billion dollars. There is so much corruption. And you can't put it all around Trudeau,

00:03:55.060 but he certainly sets the moral standard. I saw a news story the other day about 80, 8-0, 80 fake

00:04:03.640 colleges in the city of Brampton. Brampton is like a suburb of Toronto. The idea that there are 80

00:04:12.240 colleges in Brampton is obviously a lie. They're fake. They're diploma mills. You pay them 10 grand or

00:04:20.980 whatever. And they give you a fake diploma. Why would they do that? Who would buy that? Well,

00:04:25.860 foreign students on a student visa pay money to these fake diploma mills to get over to Canada. 0.69

00:04:34.160 That's a crime wave that both the provincial and federal governments are clearly party to.

00:04:40.300 And then there's the foreign meddling in Canada. China, including its police stations, which is just

00:04:46.120 so bizarre. Iran fomenting these Hamas protests. And I list these things for you. Because my question

00:04:54.820 is, what's the priority for police, especially for a national police force like the RCMP?

00:05:02.100 What's the top priority? What would you say is the top priority for fighting crime in Canada? I have my

00:05:08.080 opinions. What's yours? Well, let me tell you what the RCMP's priority is. It's a story in Canadian

00:05:14.980 press published by the CBC. Here's the headline. Politicians keep getting more threats. The head

00:05:23.200 of the RCMP says new tools might be needed to protect them. Intelligence report says threats are

00:05:30.540 becoming increasingly normalized. Now stop right there for a second. What kind of threats do you think

00:05:36.140 they mean? Police, intelligence, threats, those are the words they're using. You probably think they mean

00:05:43.880 death threats or threats of violence, right? Police, intelligence, threats. No, no, no, no. Because

00:05:52.140 these aren't real cops you're hearing from now. This is Trudeau's hyper-partisan RCMP. Here's the story.

00:05:58.940 Let me show you how deceptive the headline is. RCMP Commissioner Mike Duem says he wants the

00:06:04.800 government to look at drafting a new law that would make it easier for police to pursue charges against

00:06:11.520 people who threaten elected officials. Okay. Threatening elected public officials. Sounds bad.

00:06:18.580 So far, we're all in agreement. Fortunately, we have several laws, including the following. I'm just

00:06:25.220 going to read to you from the criminal code. Don't click away. I want you to read this because it's

00:06:29.780 important. It's relevant to what comes later. This is in our criminal code right now. Section 264. It's

00:06:36.120 called uttering threats. Did you know this is in our criminal code? I bet you did, even if you didn't

00:06:40.980 know the section. Of course, uttering threats is a crime. Let me read it to you. Everyone who commits

00:06:45.660 an offense who, in any manner, knowingly utters, conveys, or causes any person to receive a threat

00:06:52.560 to cause death or bodily harm to any person, to burn, destroy, or damage real or personal property,

00:06:59.500 or to kill, poison, or injure an animal or bird that is the property of any person. Isn't that

00:07:05.660 interesting? So that's a crime right now, uttering threats. It's a crime, and it's pretty broad. It even

00:07:12.860 covers threats against property and critters. Let me read the next section for you. This is section 51

00:07:18.880 of the criminal code. I'm almost done. Don't click away. Everyone who does an act of violence in order

00:07:25.760 to intimidate parliament, or the legislature of a province is guilty of an indictable offense and

00:07:31.420 liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 14 years. So don't take on parliament. They have a

00:07:37.580 special protection. And then here's the law that I think is probably the most applicable.

00:07:43.220 It's the law against harassment, which covers things like stalking. I'll read it to you also. You're

00:07:49.360 getting smart on the criminal code today. Criminal harassment, section 264. No person shall,

00:07:54.800 without lawful authority, and knowing that another person is harassed or recklessly as to whether the

00:08:01.500 other person is harassed, engaged in conduct referred to in subsection 2 that causes that

00:08:08.420 other person reasonably, in all the circumstances, to fear for their safety or the safety of anyone

00:08:15.080 known to them. And here's the list of prohibited conduct. The conduct mentioned in subsection 1

00:08:20.960 consists of repeatedly following from place to place the other person or anyone known to them,

00:08:28.360 repeatedly communicating with, either directly or indirectly, the other person or anyone known to

00:08:33.740 them, besetting or watching the dwelling house or place where the other person or anyone known to them

00:08:40.160 resides, works, carries on business or happens to be, or engaging in threatening conduct directed at the

00:08:47.860 other person or any member of their family. That's the law against harassment. That's pretty big,

00:08:56.020 isn't it? I'd say it's much more expansive than uttering threats or besetting a parliament.

00:09:01.420 Now, I'm going to keep reading this news story, but I wanted to show you those laws that are on the books

00:09:06.600 right now. Let me keep reading, because if you were to read that CBC story, you'd be sort of worried,

00:09:11.880 right? Here, let me read. The Mounties are seeing an increase in invective directed at politicians,

00:09:21.640 including comments from the same individuals on multiple occasions, Duem said in an interview.

00:09:30.800 Comments? Invective? I know what comments are. They're any chatter. Invective is sort of negative

00:09:36.580 comments. But weren't we talking about real threats? Weren't we talking about police stuff?

00:09:41.740 instead of just mean comments? So I thought this was about violence and protecting the lives of

00:09:48.760 MPs. It's just about invective? Let me keep reading. However, often the behavior does not meet

00:09:57.280 the criminal code threshold for laying a charge of uttering threats. Quote, so that's sometimes a

00:10:03.720 challenge, Duem said. But are there other tools that we can use? Is there anything else that we could

00:10:09.520 add to the criminal code that can address the situation? Hang on. So they're not threats?

00:10:17.040 Not under the criminal code. They're not crimes. I read to you three sections, including harassment,

00:10:21.880 which is pretty broad. I mean, there's a lot of power in the laws I just read to you, but Trudeau's

00:10:27.040 hand-picked top cop, he's not interested in that. He wants something more. And weirdly,

00:10:34.460 he's lobbying parliament for that? Is that his job to have non-crimes added to his to-do list?

00:10:46.820 I'll keep reading. Duem said that RCMP hopes to work with Public Safety Canada and the Department

00:10:52.420 of Justice on the possibility of a new provision to address the phenomenon. Quote,

00:10:58.040 it'd be nice to see if we could look at that, he said. Quote, people feel more free to express what

00:11:05.040 they really think, which is a good thing, but it has to be done in a civil way. Every elected official

00:11:12.580 has a right to feel secure in doing their job, unquote. But hang on, is that actually true?

00:11:20.300 Remember what Salman Rushdie said about the butt brigade? Oh, I believe in free speech,

00:11:25.940 but you have to be civil, but politicians can't feel bad. Here's what Salman Rushdie said about

00:11:32.340 people who said, I believe in freedom, but. Take a look. The moment somebody says, yes,

00:11:37.340 I believe in free speech, but I stop listening.

00:11:44.940 You know, I believe in free speech, but people should behave themselves.

00:11:52.900 I believe in free speech, but we shouldn't upset anybody. I believe in free speech, but let's not

00:11:58.620 go too far. The point about it is the moment you limit free speech is not free speech. The point

00:12:06.400 about it is that it's free. So Canada's head of the RCMP, handbaked by Drudeau, is saying free speech,

00:12:13.800 but. But you have to criticize your politicians in a civil way. It has to be done in a nonviolent way.

00:12:21.920 I agree with that. But a civil way, as in, we have to be polite. We have to have the right tone.

00:12:29.280 Is that the new rule that a cop with a gun is going to enforce? Really? Do Trudeau and his MPs,

00:12:38.420 do they have to be civil back to us? Because that's actually what's of a greater concern to me.

00:12:43.180 Or can they baselessly call us racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic, or whatever

00:12:52.000 else they say all the time? You're a fringe minority. Do you even have rights? All the things

00:12:57.540 he says. And that's just the words from Trudeau and his cronies. What about when Trudeau actually

00:13:03.680 does outrageous things to us? Like, for example, when he set up his bigoted, unscientific no-fly list

00:13:11.060 for people who weren't jabbed, it just takes away our civil liberties. Or just even raises our taxes

00:13:16.320 in a way that destroys businesses and jobs, the crime waves unchecked, so he can actually do terrible

00:13:22.400 things to us, make housing unaffordable to young people, make the country's quality of life tank.

00:13:28.120 But we have to be civil. Is that what the top cop is saying? Let me keep reading.

00:13:36.660 Do M's comments come amid growing concerns about the safety of politicians? Oh, really?

00:13:44.160 We were talking about mean words and being civil. What's that got to do with safety?

00:13:48.580 I'll read some more. MPs have been followed on the street and subjected to death threats.

00:13:53.540 The escalation has prompted efforts to bolster protection and security measures. Okay. Followed

00:14:00.060 on the street. That could be the stalking thing we read. And death threats. Well, we just read the

00:14:04.980 uttering threats part. So those are covered by the laws that I read in detail a moment ago.

00:14:10.700 Why would we need new laws? Those are already covered in the criminal code.

00:14:16.520 Harassment threats. Were the so-called cases referred to there? First of all, did they actually

00:14:24.160 happen? And second of all, were the people who did them, were they charged with crimes?

00:14:29.980 If not, why not? Is this story just an urban legend told by a cop designed to whip up new

00:14:38.580 censorship laws? Hey, you be civil in the way you disagree with Trudeau. You know, there's a lot of

00:14:43.540 F-U-C-K Trudeau flags out there. I see them everywhere. That's how people feel.

00:14:48.520 You don't think those are going to be now people arrested for them or questioned for them? Let me

00:14:53.560 read a little bit more. Ontario Liberal MP Pam Damoff recently announced she would not run in the

00:15:00.400 next election, saying the threats and misogyny she has experienced made her fearful of going out in

00:15:06.760 public. Okay, well, which is it? A threat or misogyny? Or is it just the fact that everyone

00:15:15.360 hates the liberals, according to polls? A threat sounds like, I'm going to kill you. That's what

00:15:19.940 a threat sounds like. Now, obviously, we don't want that. I don't want that. I support our laws

00:15:24.840 against that. I assume that such a person was charged. Misogyny means people who don't like women.

00:15:33.020 Now, that is very rude, but that's not a crime yet. Duem said the RCMP regularly communicates

00:15:42.660 with other police forces about threats to politicians. Okay, I think that's a good idea.

00:15:47.600 In addition, the Mounties have a liaison team that keeps in touch with federal ministerial offices

00:15:52.000 about daily security needs, and the force works closely with the House of Commons sergeant-at-arms

00:15:56.960 concerning protection of MPs. This is all a good idea. The force will sometimes turn to, quote,

00:16:02.520 disruption measures with officers knocking on the door of someone who has made a concerning comment

00:16:08.700 to have a chat with them, Duem said. Okay, well, concerning comment in what way? If they're making

00:16:15.600 a threat, then absolutely go visit them. But if they're being a political critic, even rude,

00:16:22.160 are the police going door-to-door watching what you say on Facebook or Twitter? RCMP behavioral science

00:16:29.040 specialists. Oh, brother. Also look at incoming cases, and the force has noticed that disturbing

00:16:35.100 comments sometimes come from people known to the force from earlier incidents, he said. Okay, but again,

00:16:40.900 is it a threat? Or is it, what did they just say? Made a concerning comment and a disturbing comment.

00:16:49.680 I'm sure half of what I say here is considered concerning or disturbing to the liberals.

00:16:54.800 So is it a threat? Is it criminal harassment? Because I know what those are because I just read

00:17:01.800 the law to you. I know what those mean. But what's this cop talking about? If we have a cop calling

00:17:08.820 for new laws, it's obvious that he's not talking about the laws we have on the books. What's a disturbing

00:17:14.860 comment? Is he the decider of that? What's a civil comment? Is he the decider of what's civil or

00:17:20.820 uncivil? Could you imagine this handpicked Trudeau cop enforcing that? An intelligence report

00:17:27.200 released in March said threats against politicians had become, quote, increasingly normalized, unquote,

00:17:33.480 due to extremist narratives prompted by personal grievances and fueled by misinformation or deliberate

00:17:40.080 lies. Oh my God, I'm dizzy. What a sentence that is. It's like you jam-packed every woke phrase in there.

00:17:47.780 Is it a threat? Or is it an extremist narrative? What's that? Or is it a personal grievance?

00:17:54.580 Or is it information or a lie? And is any of that criminal? What an incredible sentence that is. I

00:17:59.940 mean, you really go on the whole spectrum there from I will kill you to misinformation. Where was

00:18:06.180 the Wuhan virus from? The cop just wants the right to regulate it all. The cops want to ban it all. Let me

00:18:12.420 read some more. Ensuring that social media platforms are enforcing terms of service that will minimize

00:18:17.640 the sense of violence is important, said Chris Deneuve, assistant director of the Center for the

00:18:23.180 Study of Democratic Institutions at the University of British Columbia. The recently introduced federal

00:18:29.160 online harms bill is one way of helping establish standards around expectations of such platforms for

00:18:36.180 addressing harassment, threats, and hate speech, he said. Okay, now I get it. Now I get it. Now I understand

00:18:41.620 what this is all about. The RCMP is now lobbying for hate speech laws. They're so excited they can taste

00:18:49.400 it. That's what this is all about, isn't it? Almost done. Teneuve added it is important for party leaders

00:18:57.000 and staff to make it clear to supporters that it's inappropriate and undemocratic for them to threaten

00:19:04.260 or harass opposing political parties online. Got it. So a government-funded professor, oh and he's an

00:19:12.400 expert, guys, just ask him, is saying that opposition parties have to tell Canadians, including their own

00:19:18.700 members, to stop being rude to Justin Trudeau. You know, the only thing more gross than this partisan

00:19:26.180 police chief who wants to jail you for being uncivil is the state broadcaster who is lusting for a new

00:19:34.320 era of jailing peaceful opponents. Stay with us for more.

00:19:39.500 Well, we're focused a lot on these Hamas encampments in Canada for a lot of reasons.

00:19:56.820 They're shocking when you think about what they're saying and what they're doing and the police response

00:20:01.560 and the political response, absolutely bizarre. But that's the new normal. I mean, how many times can a

00:20:07.760 politician say that's not who we are when it is, in fact, exactly who we are? I don't know if you saw

00:20:12.700 this out of Fredericton, New Brunswick. A Jewish kid, 14 years old, absolutely beat up by a Muslim kid

00:20:21.180 because. And it's all caught on tape and there's grown-ups there who are just fine with it.

00:20:27.460 Folks, this is who we are. Take a look.

00:20:29.840 Heads up! Heads up!

00:20:37.760 Don't you move, you fucking touch me? You want to be auciones fan, right?

00:20:41.860 You want to be aieni fan, right?

00:20:42.760 So weak.

00:20:44.640 Just look like a section.

00:20:47.260 I'm short.

00:20:48.240 Oh yeah.

00:20:49.120 This can't be within the religion guidelines 0.99

00:21:03.380 Oh that's hurt, I didn't know that was hurt

00:21:11.060 That's the kid getting deep

00:21:14.980 Yeah, I mean, who cares, right? That's just how it is

00:21:36.840 I want to take a break from that story, even though we've been covering it intensely

00:21:41.580 Because there are other things that affect our world

00:21:44.180 And in fact, when I think of is there any light at the end of the tunnel here

00:21:48.400 I come to political answers, both in the case of Canada

00:21:52.560 I hope that if Pierre Polyev wins the election

00:21:55.840 He'll set a moral example and a legal example to the contrary

00:22:00.660 And I think there's some reason to expect that

00:22:03.160 He's made a lot of very powerful statements

00:22:04.680 And I think the greatest change, not just for America and the world

00:22:09.980 But for Canada too, would be if the United States had a change in government this November

00:22:18.620 When they have their quadrennial presidential vote

00:22:22.320 And so we go to our friend Joel Pollack

00:22:24.960 Who, besides being an expert in the Israel war

00:22:28.540 As you know for years, he's covered the Democratic Party

00:22:32.420 Even though he himself is Republican in his leanings

00:22:36.680 Joel joins us now via Skype from the Los Angeles area

00:22:40.220 Joel, great to see you again

00:22:41.340 Good to be with you again, Ezra

00:22:43.680 Thanks

00:22:44.340 I want to take a break from talking about Israel and Hamas encampments 0.87

00:22:47.720 And college violence

00:22:50.000 Even though it's very important to cover

00:22:51.880 Because I want to talk about Donald Trump

00:22:54.580 I mean, he's embroiled in lawfare litigation in New York City

00:22:59.200 But that doesn't seem to stop his popularity

00:23:01.840 In fact, the latest series of polls

00:23:03.960 Show that he is dominating in the battleground states

00:23:08.660 What can you tell us about that?

00:23:11.320 People are very dissatisfied with the leadership of Joe Biden

00:23:14.680 And inflation, while it has come down

00:23:18.640 Is still high relative to where it is normally

00:23:21.740 And increasingly, the American dream

00:23:25.720 The middle class lifestyle is too expensive for middle class families to afford

00:23:31.280 The cost of housing in particular

00:23:32.880 Is a constant preoccupation with American voters

00:23:37.040 It's nice if you already own a home

00:23:39.160 And you've seen the value of your home go up

00:23:42.320 But the people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s

00:23:45.660 Who are trying to buy their first homes

00:23:47.700 Can't do so

00:23:49.020 Because the price has simply risen

00:23:51.880 And the interest rates are too high

00:23:53.500 To try to bring inflation back down

00:23:55.740 So Biden is seen as unable to lead the United States out of this mess

00:24:01.520 People remember that there was little to no inflation

00:24:04.180 When Donald Trump was president

00:24:05.480 Biden is now going around trying to claim that inflation was 9%

00:24:09.200 When he took office

00:24:10.360 It was, in fact, just over 1%, between 1% and 2%

00:24:13.480 It only took off after Biden spent trillions of dollars

00:24:17.020 In excess of what had already been spent during the pandemic

00:24:20.360 So people have a sense that Biden doesn't know where to lead the country or how

00:24:24.720 You have something in economics called animal spirits

00:24:29.840 And this refers, in John Keynes' explanation

00:24:35.220 To the simple attitude or posture of the economy

00:24:39.480 If people are excited about economic growth

00:24:41.980 If people are willing to take risks and invest in the future

00:24:45.700 The animal spirits are very positive

00:24:47.920 And they move things in a positive direction

00:24:49.960 And Donald Trump is very good at animating that

00:24:52.840 He is prone to hyperbole

00:24:55.320 In many areas of his political and personal life

00:24:58.280 But that hyperbole actually helps Americans think beyond the present

00:25:02.340 And the difficult circumstances we may face

00:25:04.580 And look toward the future

00:25:05.880 Biden is incapable of mustering that kind of courage

00:25:10.300 That kind of confidence among the American people

00:25:13.000 So even though unemployment is fairly low

00:25:15.240 Which is usually an indicator that the economy is doing well

00:25:18.040 The persistently high levels of inflation

00:25:21.180 Plus the lack of leadership from the White House

00:25:24.040 Have convinced many Americans that the economy is very poor

00:25:27.200 And therefore Biden is losing to Donald Trump

00:25:30.580 In almost all of the swing states that are going to be hotly contested

00:25:34.100 Between the two candidates in the November election

00:25:36.380 We're watching that closely

00:25:37.640 And of course we have a new voting system

00:25:39.460 That is now institutionalized in this country

00:25:41.480 Called vote by mail

00:25:42.800 It's considered prone to fraud

00:25:44.640 And that's why nobody else does it in the world really

00:25:47.040 But we're going to see if a surge for Donald Trump

00:25:51.400 And the Republicans in November

00:25:52.620 Can make its way through this new system

00:25:55.380 Or whether Democrats will be able to manipulate the system

00:25:58.940 And take advantage of the system

00:26:00.600 In a way that keeps Trump out of office

00:26:02.660 Yeah, I'm worried about that

00:26:04.100 You mentioned the cost of living

00:26:06.940 And Joel, I'm sympathetic

00:26:08.840 Because we have the same problem in Canada

00:26:10.560 I don't know if you've ever looked at the relative cost of housing

00:26:13.920 In the States versus Canada

00:26:15.440 It's actually twice as expensive in Canada

00:26:18.740 It's twice as bad

00:26:20.380 However bad it is in America

00:26:21.780 Double that

00:26:23.420 It's just shocking

00:26:24.520 In fact, one of the very successful ads

00:26:27.800 That our conservative opposition leader has run

00:26:30.940 Is comparing houses on the Canada and U.S. border

00:26:34.940 Just, you know, a few miles away from each other

00:26:37.360 Comparable houses

00:26:39.220 They really are half price in America

00:26:41.600 So you can imagine how bad it is here

00:26:43.040 The reason I tell you that

00:26:44.700 Is because those 20, 30, and 40-something voters

00:26:48.460 You were talking about

00:26:49.440 The ones who are having trouble buying a house

00:26:51.760 Starting a family, etc

00:26:53.500 They support the conservative party very strongly

00:26:57.260 In fact, millennials are one of the strongest demographics

00:27:01.360 For the conservative opposition

00:27:03.380 I contrast that to the United Kingdom

00:27:06.120 Where the youngest voters

00:27:08.260 I saw a YouGov poll

00:27:09.440 That only 1% of young Brits

00:27:12.680 Intend to vote conservative

00:27:14.200 1%

00:27:14.980 What is it like in America?

00:27:17.500 Are young Americans open to voting Republican?

00:27:21.080 Or is it still cool to vote for the party of AOC and radical Sheik? 0.94

00:27:28.980 I do think that Biden will still win the youth vote, so to speak

00:27:33.000 But he is not doing as well as a typical Democratic candidate would do among younger voters

00:27:38.840 And here, the crisis in the Middle East has really hurt him

00:27:42.440 Because even though Americans support Israel over Hamas, 80% to 20%

00:27:48.080 The percentage is much narrower among younger voters

00:27:51.120 Younger voters don't understand the history of the Middle East 0.92

00:27:55.040 They don't understand the Holocaust 0.95

00:27:56.520 They don't understand anti-Semitism 0.92

00:27:57.960 They are taken up by the movement to start all these encampments

00:28:04.560 And to fight for our free Palestine 0.84

00:28:07.060 Many can't find Palestine on the map

00:28:08.940 There are all sorts of hilarious videos of protesters being interviewed

00:28:13.160 About what from the river to the sea actually means

00:28:15.700 Which river and which sea?

00:28:17.260 And often they don't know

00:28:18.100 But nevertheless, they're caught up in the movement

00:28:20.540 Caught up in the moment

00:28:21.440 Just as in the George Floyd Black Lives Matter protest of 2020

00:28:25.040 It's a moment when the far left and young people are asserting their primacy 0.99

00:28:31.760 Within the Democratic Party

00:28:33.200 And Biden is not responding to that pressure

00:28:37.620 In anything like a constructive way

00:28:39.200 Or in any way that can reach out to those people

00:28:42.040 And satisfy their concerns

00:28:44.160 Maybe that has to do with the concerns they're expressing

00:28:46.880 Which are anti-Semitic and genocidal 0.55

00:28:48.440 And he can't really go there

00:28:49.820 But he is trying to pressure Israel 0.84

00:28:51.180 And it's not working to persuade young voters to come back to him

00:28:55.180 So all of the momentum is against him

00:28:57.640 So he'll probably still win the youth vote

00:28:59.920 But he's losing a lot of them

00:29:01.780 And interestingly, in this election

00:29:03.420 There's no Bernie Sanders-type candidate

00:29:05.780 The past two presidential election cycles on the Democratic side

00:29:09.640 Have seen a left-wing candidate or candidates

00:29:12.340 Who are the alternatives to the mainstream candidate

00:29:15.960 Finally, in 2020, it all coalesced around Joe Biden

00:29:19.340 Because he was the moderate out of a field of 20 left-wing candidates

00:29:23.920 Even though he himself began to adopt more and more left-wing positions

00:29:28.060 But this time, there's no Bernie Sanders running

00:29:30.260 And on this crucial issue of the Middle East

00:29:33.160 The one prominent candidate to the left of Joe Biden

00:29:36.320 Who's Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:29:38.120 Is actually pro-Israel 0.90

00:29:39.320 And he's not just pro-Israel

00:29:42.100 But very articulate about why he's pro-Israel

00:29:44.440 His father, Robert F. Kennedy

00:29:46.620 Was assassinated by a Palestinian 0.99

00:29:48.320 And he believes that Israel has the right to defend itself

00:29:51.840 All of those positions make it more difficult

00:29:54.960 For those voters who are most energized

00:29:58.040 About the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

00:29:59.840 To find Kennedy to be a left-wing alternative to Joe Biden

00:30:03.640 There are left-wing candidates to the left of Kennedy

00:30:06.520 Even like Cornel West and Jill Stein

00:30:08.460 Who have more of the pro-Palestinian 0.99

00:30:11.460 And sometimes even pro-Hamas perspective 0.73

00:30:13.420 But they're not seen as viable

00:30:15.020 So there really is no alternative to the left

00:30:17.620 And when that happens

00:30:18.700 When voters on the left and young voters

00:30:20.740 Feel that they don't have an alternative

00:30:22.100 Within the Democratic Party

00:30:23.620 Or at least within the broad spectrum of left-of-center politics

00:30:26.880 They tend to take to the streets

00:30:28.380 Again, the George Floyd example tells us

00:30:31.120 We're experiencing something very similar

00:30:33.000 With these encampments

00:30:34.260 And so Biden is losing momentum

00:30:36.640 Losing strength among a key voter bloc

00:30:38.900 He's also losing support from Black voters

00:30:42.180 Hispanic voters

00:30:42.980 Again, these aren't voting blocs

00:30:44.600 Trump will win necessarily

00:30:46.080 But Biden can't afford to lose

00:30:48.660 Too many of those voters

00:30:50.060 If he wants to hold on to the White House

00:30:51.560 You know, I remember when the candidate for Senate

00:30:57.400 In Pennsylvania, Fetterman is his name

00:31:00.140 Had a stroke

00:31:01.460 And he participated in a debate

00:31:04.260 With the aid of a computer device

00:31:06.100 And his wife often spoke for him

00:31:10.260 And it was stunning to me

00:31:12.360 That someone who had a cognitive damage like that

00:31:18.660 Could beat a Republican

00:31:20.820 Dr. Oz, if I recall

00:31:23.120 Was the Republican candidate

00:31:24.480 And I was sort of shocked

00:31:27.080 And I thought

00:31:28.040 Imagine how bad the Republicans were to lose to John Fetterman

00:31:31.080 But he apparently is regaining his

00:31:34.660 You know, has recovered from the stroke

00:31:37.620 And astonishingly

00:31:40.140 It seems like his ideological compass

00:31:43.520 Has changed

00:31:45.440 As he gets his cognitive abilities back

00:31:48.060 And he's denouncing woke

00:31:52.740 Sorry, go ahead

00:31:53.380 As he regains brain function

00:31:55.560 He becomes more conservative

00:31:56.660 I'm not even kidding

00:31:57.900 I mean, he's very pro-Israel

00:32:00.240 Anti-Hamas 0.78

00:32:01.040 He denounces wokeism

00:32:03.260 In blunt language

00:32:05.100 That, you know, the late Rush Limbaugh might have used

00:32:07.980 I just find

00:32:09.340 I know this is apropos of nothing

00:32:11.340 Because he's not running on a national ticket

00:32:13.140 But it's one of the most surprising developments

00:32:16.480 I think of the last six months

00:32:17.960 Is seeing Senator John Fetterman

00:32:20.260 The man who I personally mocked

00:32:22.880 Not because I was happy that he was ill

00:32:25.000 But I couldn't believe someone who was so disabled 1.00

00:32:29.280 Could beat in an election

00:32:32.620 The leading Republican

00:32:34.440 I just found the whole thing astonishing

00:32:35.860 And as he has recovered

00:32:37.440 He's become conservative

00:32:39.160 What on earth is going on there?

00:32:40.700 If you want to understand John Fetterman

00:32:43.400 You should look at the governor of Pennsylvania

00:32:45.660 The same state that Fetterman represents

00:32:48.440 Governor Josh Shapiro

00:32:50.260 I was very critical of Josh Shapiro

00:32:52.560 When he was running for governor in 2020

00:32:54.860 But he is also moving to the center

00:32:59.160 Almost to the center right on some issues

00:33:01.680 And that's because Fetterman and Shapiro

00:33:03.960 Have the same read of their state

00:33:06.200 Pennsylvania is a big state

00:33:09.200 It's got two major metropolitan areas

00:33:11.740 On either side of the Appalachians

00:33:13.460 Pittsburgh and Philadelphia

00:33:14.980 And it's diverse and so forth

00:33:17.720 But it really is a swing state

00:33:19.520 And it's a working class state in a big way

00:33:21.800 And what you're seeing

00:33:23.600 With both Fetterman and Shapiro

00:33:25.100 Is that they're reading the voters

00:33:26.620 In their own state

00:33:27.680 And Shapiro is even saying

00:33:29.760 Look, I'm up for re-election

00:33:31.900 I understand if you want to vote for Trump

00:33:34.420 I understand where you're coming from

00:33:36.300 But you should also vote for me

00:33:37.860 He's actually encouraging people

00:33:39.640 To split their tickets

00:33:40.540 So both Fetterman and Shapiro

00:33:43.020 Understand that Biden's policies

00:33:44.440 Are unpopular in Pennsylvania

00:33:45.900 Not just on the Middle East 0.75

00:33:47.680 But also his policies

00:33:49.440 Against the fossil fuel industry

00:33:50.820 Because remember Pennsylvania

00:33:52.100 Has the shale oil boom

00:33:53.660 Has natural gas and fracking

00:33:55.020 Which New York doesn't have

00:33:56.260 Even though they have the same rock formation

00:33:57.920 The same geology

00:33:58.700 But Pennsylvania allowed oil and gas exploration

00:34:01.180 That's a big job creator in Pennsylvania

00:34:03.640 They're mad that Joe Biden

00:34:05.120 Is clamping down on the fossil fuel industry

00:34:06.980 They're upset about the southern border

00:34:09.800 Which is sending migrants 1.00

00:34:10.800 To these big cities in Pennsylvania

00:34:12.640 Before locals have had their key needs addressed

00:34:15.460 So they're reading the room

00:34:17.620 And they're saying

00:34:18.380 You know what?

00:34:19.340 These progressive ideologies and policies

00:34:21.700 They're not what our voters want to hear

00:34:23.460 So Fetterman and Shapiro

00:34:25.480 Are reflecting the electorate

00:34:28.420 In a very skillful way

00:34:30.140 They're both skilled politicians

00:34:30.980 And you know

00:34:33.260 We joke about it

00:34:34.180 Perhaps we shouldn't

00:34:34.800 But it is true that

00:34:35.800 Fetterman has recovered

00:34:37.140 His mental abilities

00:34:39.000 For the most part

00:34:39.660 He still has some difficulty speaking

00:34:41.160 But you can see that he's very sure

00:34:43.180 About what he's saying

00:34:44.180 And he has been adamantly

00:34:46.760 Pro-Israel

00:34:47.560 And pro-border security as well

00:34:49.380 Those are two issues

00:34:50.960 On which the center

00:34:53.040 And the right

00:34:53.860 Have clearly distinguished themselves

00:34:55.560 From the far left

00:34:56.700 Which is running the country

00:34:57.660 It really is astonishing

00:35:00.060 I want to ask you

00:35:00.620 About one more thing

00:35:01.580 And you brought it up

00:35:02.320 I've had the pleasure

00:35:03.560 Of visiting Washington County

00:35:05.120 Pennsylvania

00:35:05.620 Several times

00:35:07.000 And that really is

00:35:07.940 The fracking miracle

00:35:09.920 All these jobs

00:35:11.660 That were going away

00:35:12.900 As the steel

00:35:13.800 And the coal jobs left

00:35:15.260 Fracking shale

00:35:17.040 Gas in particular

00:35:18.720 Some oil too

00:35:19.660 It was a miracle

00:35:21.960 That replaced a quarter million jobs

00:35:23.560 And just in the nick of time

00:35:25.600 And at Washington

00:35:27.160 County

00:35:27.940 Was really what

00:35:28.780 Tipped things for Trump

00:35:29.800 In 2016

00:35:30.620 It had been a deeply

00:35:33.400 Blue county

00:35:35.200 Two elections before

00:35:37.320 And people didn't want

00:35:38.960 To mess with fracking

00:35:39.740 It's where the job

00:35:41.020 Great jobs

00:35:41.740 Came from

00:35:42.360 And

00:35:42.820 What they called

00:35:44.720 Mailbox money

00:35:45.480 Because of course

00:35:46.140 In the United States

00:35:46.860 It's supposed to in Canada

00:35:47.860 Here in Canada

00:35:49.080 The king

00:35:49.600 Owns your subsurface rights 0.87

00:35:51.760 So

00:35:52.040 An oil or gas company

00:35:53.780 Drilling for oil

00:35:54.720 Doesn't have to negotiate

00:35:56.280 With the landowner

00:35:57.580 In Pennsylvania

00:35:58.980 You have to negotiate

00:35:59.780 With them

00:36:00.280 And cut them a check

00:36:01.540 So it was just

00:36:02.680 Such an economic miracle

00:36:04.400 And I can understand

00:36:05.180 Why neither party

00:36:06.000 Wants to

00:36:06.520 Kill the goose

00:36:07.680 That lays the golden egg

00:36:08.640 But here in Canada

00:36:10.780 Trudeau and his

00:36:12.500 Environment minister

00:36:13.280 Are obsessed

00:36:14.400 With the carbon tax

00:36:15.980 Which they keep

00:36:16.800 Raising every year

00:36:17.720 Now they have a

00:36:19.020 Registry on plastics

00:36:20.420 That they're talking

00:36:21.840 About

00:36:22.220 They've gone

00:36:23.240 Absolutely nuts

00:36:24.920 On the eco side

00:36:26.400 Has any of that

00:36:27.720 Global warming

00:36:28.680 Climate change

00:36:29.720 Kyoto protocol

00:36:30.880 Paris agreement

00:36:31.760 Stuff

00:36:32.340 Is that even

00:36:33.680 Talked about

00:36:34.600 In America anymore 0.58

00:36:36.180 I remember

00:36:36.580 There was this

00:36:37.020 Dramatic moment

00:36:37.700 When Biden and

00:36:39.200 Trump were debating

00:36:40.040 In 2020

00:36:40.700 And Biden admitted

00:36:43.260 He was going to

00:36:44.120 Really beat up

00:36:45.160 The oil and gas industry

00:36:46.200 And Trump sort of said

00:36:47.020 Uh-huh

00:36:47.440 There it is

00:36:48.160 I got you

00:36:48.760 Did Biden do that

00:36:50.740 And is he going

00:36:51.960 Into 2024

00:36:52.920 Campaigning against

00:36:54.120 Oil and gas

00:36:54.880 And for global warming

00:36:55.980 Biden has done that

00:36:59.380 To some extent

00:37:00.200 But he needs

00:37:01.960 The energy boom

00:37:02.860 In the United States

00:37:03.680 To keep unemployment low

00:37:04.920 And to keep

00:37:05.400 Economic growth high

00:37:06.440 So they've taken

00:37:07.700 Their foot off

00:37:08.360 The accelerator

00:37:08.940 As far as that goes

00:37:10.000 And what they've done

00:37:11.620 Instead is they've

00:37:12.340 Tried to subsidize

00:37:13.320 The electric vehicle

00:37:14.340 Industry

00:37:14.760 Which is failing

00:37:16.240 In many regards

00:37:17.180 Rental car companies

00:37:18.480 Are dumping

00:37:19.000 The electric vehicle

00:37:20.560 Fleets that they

00:37:21.340 Bought with the

00:37:22.360 Encouragement of

00:37:22.900 The administration

00:37:23.440 Because consumers

00:37:24.300 Don't want to drive them

00:37:25.340 And there's a huge

00:37:26.680 Amount of range anxiety

00:37:27.780 You know when you

00:37:28.260 Get into an electric

00:37:28.940 Vehicle for the first

00:37:30.160 Time you start to

00:37:31.500 Panic about finding

00:37:32.340 Somewhere to charge it

00:37:33.260 And how it works

00:37:33.880 Some of that is

00:37:34.600 Just a learning curve

00:37:35.480 And it would take

00:37:36.480 Some additional

00:37:37.160 Infrastructure to build

00:37:38.060 Out and people

00:37:38.580 Would feel better

00:37:39.100 About it

00:37:39.460 But because

00:37:40.360 Unlike Trump

00:37:41.340 Who's a builder

00:37:42.100 Who cuts through

00:37:42.840 Red tape to get

00:37:43.500 Things done

00:37:43.980 Biden has delegated

00:37:45.620 All of the

00:37:46.500 Planning around

00:37:48.360 This electric vehicle

00:37:49.340 Charging network

00:37:50.120 He's supposed to be

00:37:50.920 Building with the

00:37:51.780 Money from the

00:37:52.320 Misnamed inflation

00:37:53.600 Reduction act

00:37:54.240 He's delegated all

00:37:55.220 Of that to local

00:37:55.920 Governments and

00:37:56.480 They're putting it

00:37:56.920 Through all their

00:37:57.300 Environmental assessments

00:37:58.340 All the red tape

00:37:59.280 Has come back

00:37:59.800 So they've only built

00:38:00.900 A few of these

00:38:01.540 Things in two years

00:38:02.460 After billions of

00:38:03.320 Dollars were allocated

00:38:04.160 And so you just

00:38:05.140 Don't have the system

00:38:05.860 So people don't want

00:38:06.740 These electric vehicles

00:38:07.900 So Biden is now

00:38:10.800 Reduced to

00:38:11.980 Trump's policy

00:38:13.400 Of tariffs on China

00:38:14.620 To keep out

00:38:15.360 The Chinese 0.89

00:38:16.140 Cheap electric vehicles

00:38:17.640 That are about

00:38:18.180 To be produced

00:38:18.880 In China 0.51

00:38:19.820 And possibly in Mexico

00:38:21.120 And simply

00:38:21.960 Driven across the

00:38:23.160 Border on the backs

00:38:24.040 Of trucks

00:38:24.560 Probably not electric

00:38:25.800 Trucks by the way

00:38:26.520 This is where

00:38:28.320 Biden's putting

00:38:28.880 His energy

00:38:29.300 Climate change

00:38:30.260 Is also talked

00:38:31.000 About as an excuse

00:38:32.140 And my favorite

00:38:33.060 Recent example

00:38:33.820 Was a reporter

00:38:34.660 Asked my governor

00:38:35.640 California's own

00:38:36.900 Gavin Newsom

00:38:37.680 How the state

00:38:38.720 Had gone in the

00:38:39.500 Space of two years

00:38:40.340 From a $100 billion

00:38:42.200 Federal surplus

00:38:43.660 Or not federal

00:38:44.640 State surplus

00:38:45.260 With some money

00:38:45.840 From the federal

00:38:46.300 Government

00:38:46.640 But how we had

00:38:47.260 A $100 billion

00:38:48.620 Budget surplus

00:38:49.560 And now we have

00:38:50.880 An almost $30 billion

00:38:51.960 Deficit

00:38:52.700 How did that happen

00:38:53.380 In two years

00:38:54.420 And he blamed

00:38:55.300 Climate change

00:38:56.120 And what he said

00:38:57.640 Was there were

00:38:58.520 Some really bad

00:38:59.160 Winter storms

00:38:59.980 That resulted in

00:39:00.820 People paying

00:39:01.440 Their taxes late

00:39:02.400 And while we were

00:39:03.200 Waiting for the

00:39:03.740 Tax revenue to come in

00:39:04.780 We spent money

00:39:05.720 That we thought

00:39:06.280 We'd have the ability

00:39:07.540 To pay for

00:39:08.160 But it turned out

00:39:08.800 We spent more

00:39:09.340 Than we had

00:39:09.920 And the taxes

00:39:10.740 Only came in late

00:39:11.520 So this is

00:39:12.400 Climate change's fault

00:39:13.480 It's climate change

00:39:14.260 Not the fact

00:39:14.760 That we over

00:39:15.660 Committed ourselves

00:39:16.400 To spending on

00:39:17.120 Just about anything

00:39:17.880 You can name

00:39:18.520 Not that we promised

00:39:19.620 Free health care

00:39:20.480 To illegal migrants 1.00

00:39:21.840 Not that

00:39:22.820 Et cetera

00:39:23.240 Et cetera

00:39:23.560 But so climate

00:39:24.480 Change has basically

00:39:25.240 Become an excuse

00:39:26.220 For politicians

00:39:27.620 Who are failing

00:39:28.120 To do their jobs

00:39:28.940 But you aren't

00:39:29.960 Hearing Biden

00:39:30.560 Talk about it

00:39:31.260 So much anymore

00:39:32.040 Because Americans

00:39:33.160 Are sick of it

00:39:33.860 They know that

00:39:34.940 It means higher

00:39:35.480 Energy costs

00:39:36.300 They know that

00:39:37.140 They're being forced

00:39:37.880 To purchase

00:39:39.620 Electric vehicles

00:39:40.400 That they can't

00:39:41.020 Charge for part

00:39:41.600 Of the day

00:39:41.960 Because the electricity

00:39:42.740 Doesn't come out

00:39:43.740 Of the grid

00:39:44.180 In certain times

00:39:45.400 Of the year

00:39:45.800 At the necessary

00:39:47.340 Rates here in

00:39:48.360 California

00:39:48.800 We're trying to

00:39:49.300 Develop batteries

00:39:50.020 To get us over

00:39:50.740 Some of the times

00:39:52.040 Of peak demand

00:39:52.720 Where we have

00:39:53.520 Typically had

00:39:54.060 Brownouts and

00:39:54.880 Blackouts and so forth

00:39:55.680 But the long

00:39:56.980 And the short of it

00:39:57.560 Is politicians

00:39:58.360 Are realizing that

00:39:59.160 It's a loser

00:39:59.700 They're trying to

00:40:00.800 Use it to some

00:40:01.560 Extent to appeal

00:40:02.220 To young voters

00:40:02.840 I heard Karine Jean-Pierre

00:40:03.940 At the White House

00:40:04.480 Briefing this week

00:40:05.220 Talk about how

00:40:06.360 Voters who are

00:40:08.040 Under a certain age 0.91

00:40:09.200 Are very interested

00:40:10.240 And energized

00:40:10.720 By climate change

00:40:11.640 And that's why

00:40:12.040 They'll choose Joe Biden

00:40:13.020 But it's really not

00:40:14.440 Working for most voters

00:40:15.440 And again it comes

00:40:17.100 Back to do you

00:40:18.720 Trust Joe Biden

00:40:19.620 To solve the

00:40:20.600 Very complicated

00:40:21.500 Problems that are

00:40:22.440 Going to come up

00:40:22.960 With an economy

00:40:23.700 That is built around

00:40:24.960 Reducing emissions

00:40:25.900 Because you're going

00:40:26.900 To have a whole

00:40:27.440 Bunch of trade-offs

00:40:28.360 That require a great

00:40:29.620 Deal of skill

00:40:30.460 To negotiate

00:40:30.980 It's not that

00:40:31.440 It's impossible

00:40:32.140 You could have

00:40:32.920 A carbon tax

00:40:33.700 For example

00:40:34.220 But then you're

00:40:34.700 Going to have

00:40:34.980 To cut other taxes

00:40:35.920 Can you get that done

00:40:37.200 Or is the carbon tax

00:40:38.740 Such as the one

00:40:39.800 You have in Canada

00:40:40.380 Simply going to be

00:40:41.320 Subject to repeated

00:40:43.140 Hikes

00:40:43.660 So it becomes

00:40:44.500 Just one more way

00:40:45.360 Of extracting wealth

00:40:46.200 From the population

00:40:47.000 People don't trust

00:40:48.140 Biden on that

00:40:49.440 And they don't trust

00:40:50.160 His own ability

00:40:52.120 To run anything

00:40:52.840 He's just not seen

00:40:53.620 As a competent manager

00:40:54.860 Anymore

00:40:55.200 Whether that's

00:40:55.640 Because of age

00:40:56.300 Or just the experience

00:40:57.160 I think the

00:40:58.080 Disastrous pull out

00:40:59.200 Of Afghanistan 0.93

00:40:59.820 Had a lot to do

00:41:00.980 With it

00:41:01.280 People believed

00:41:02.020 At least that the

00:41:02.620 Team Biden had

00:41:03.500 Around him

00:41:04.020 Were capable

00:41:05.160 Of managing

00:41:06.040 Something like that

00:41:06.720 And when the

00:41:07.120 Afghanistan pull out 0.59

00:41:07.960 Was a disaster

00:41:08.620 Confidence in the

00:41:09.720 Administration collapsed

00:41:10.680 And has never returned

00:41:11.520 By the way

00:41:13.100 By the way I want to tell

00:41:13.640 You that I myself

00:41:14.620 Believe deeply

00:41:15.460 In climate change

00:41:17.140 And I use it

00:41:17.960 Whenever I can

00:41:19.160 When I'm pulled over

00:41:20.180 For speeding

00:41:20.780 I blame climate change

00:41:22.560 When my wife asks

00:41:24.380 Why I haven't taken

00:41:25.280 Out the garbage yet

00:41:26.180 I blame climate change

00:41:28.180 And so I'm deeply

00:41:30.120 Committed to climate change

00:41:32.280 I don't know what it means

00:41:33.820 But it seems to work

00:41:35.260 For me Joel

00:41:35.860 I'm joking around

00:41:36.740 Listen it's great

00:41:37.260 To catch up with you

00:41:38.080 You have no idea

00:41:39.120 How bad it is

00:41:39.980 However bad it is

00:41:40.900 In America Joel

00:41:41.800 Add a zero to it

00:41:43.580 And that's Canada

00:41:44.440 I'm hoping for the

00:41:46.260 Best in America

00:41:47.020 Because your

00:41:47.920 Presidential election

00:41:49.420 Will likely have

00:41:51.160 Well I think

00:41:53.000 Our election

00:41:55.120 For prime minister

00:41:55.800 Will have an enormous

00:41:56.540 Impact

00:41:57.060 Because I think

00:41:57.880 We'll finally get

00:41:58.460 Rid of Trudeau

00:41:59.100 But the election

00:42:00.100 If it happens

00:42:01.200 Of Donald Trump

00:42:01.940 Will be an enormous

00:42:03.160 Change not just

00:42:03.920 For Canada

00:42:04.380 But for the world

00:42:05.160 And I think

00:42:06.360 It'll change

00:42:06.920 So many things

00:42:07.740 And it'll change

00:42:09.080 You used the phrase

00:42:10.420 Earlier about

00:42:11.060 An animating spirit

00:42:12.240 And getting the world

00:42:13.260 Excited about a certain

00:42:14.360 Path and the moral

00:42:15.720 Charisma of that

00:42:16.860 And I think it'll

00:42:17.940 Make a big change

00:42:18.840 Here so we're

00:42:19.440 Rooting for you

00:42:20.100 Down there

00:42:21.040 And hopefully

00:42:21.500 America will get 0.98

00:42:22.160 Back on track

00:42:23.020 Thanks so much

00:42:24.320 Ezra

00:42:24.560 Great to see you

00:42:25.460 There's Joe Pollack

00:42:26.040 Senior editor at

00:42:26.920 Large at

00:42:27.840 Breitbart.com

00:42:28.860 And by the way

00:42:29.680 I have not actually

00:42:31.220 Tried my climate

00:42:32.000 Change excuse

00:42:32.780 When I'm pulled over

00:42:33.840 For speeding

00:42:34.500 But I intend to

00:42:36.120 Stay with us

00:42:37.240 More ahead

00:42:37.860 Hey welcome back

00:42:50.120 Your letters to me

00:42:50.760 Franz Anton Mesmer

00:42:51.980 Says 0.93

00:42:52.400 This will not

00:42:53.960 Burn itself out

00:42:54.660 This is an ongoing

00:42:55.400 Operation

00:42:55.940 You're talking about

00:42:56.620 These university

00:42:57.240 Encampments

00:42:57.820 You're exactly right

00:42:59.080 All of these

00:42:59.920 Are organized

00:43:00.800 All of these

00:43:01.740 Are funded

00:43:02.440 All of these

00:43:03.360 Have legal advice

00:43:04.360 All of these

00:43:05.000 Are timed

00:43:05.700 They're coordinated

00:43:06.520 We know from

00:43:07.680 Earlier reporting

00:43:08.460 By Global News

00:43:09.140 And others

00:43:09.520 There are 700

00:43:10.780 Agents in Canada

00:43:11.960 Working for Iran 1.00

00:43:13.340 And they were

00:43:15.020 Doing this kind of

00:43:15.860 Stuff before

00:43:16.560 October 7th

00:43:17.780 And they've just

00:43:18.400 Gone full tilt

00:43:19.100 Since then

00:43:19.840 I think we could

00:43:21.600 Have put out

00:43:21.920 These fires

00:43:22.340 Very quickly

00:43:22.900 Like at

00:43:23.440 University of

00:43:24.020 Alberta

00:43:24.280 And University

00:43:24.720 Of Calgary

00:43:25.320 But you simply

00:43:26.640 Have most politicians

00:43:28.240 Who count the

00:43:29.600 Number of Hamas

00:43:30.260 Supporters

00:43:30.700 And say

00:43:31.080 Well

00:43:31.380 That's who

00:43:32.560 We are now

00:43:33.360 So we're not

00:43:34.140 Going to crack

00:43:34.680 Down on these

00:43:36.020 Lawbreakers

00:43:36.740 William Innes

00:43:38.620 Says 0.93

00:43:38.940 The West

00:43:39.580 Is not a thing

00:43:40.960 In modern times

00:43:41.900 Well it is a thing

00:43:43.360 But it's being

00:43:44.140 Steamrolled over

00:43:45.540 Because people

00:43:46.440 Aren't standing up

00:43:47.340 Robert Croteau

00:43:49.240 Says 0.93

00:43:49.500 Don't forget

00:43:50.060 The mayor

00:43:50.580 Of Montreal

00:43:51.380 Called Joe Biden

00:43:53.280 And congratulations

00:43:54.360 To him on the

00:43:55.420 Election

00:43:55.780 Not good

00:43:56.440 Oh absolutely

00:43:58.020 I don't know

00:43:58.840 I didn't know

00:43:59.380 That but

00:43:59.900 It's sort of

00:44:01.120 Weird to take

00:44:01.620 A call from

00:44:02.120 A mayor

00:44:02.440 If he's the

00:44:02.820 President of

00:44:03.220 The United

00:44:03.420 States

00:44:03.800 But I think

00:44:06.500 Across Canada

00:44:07.400 We have really

00:44:08.220 Weak leadership

00:44:08.940 On this

00:44:09.660 Hopefully things

00:44:11.340 Will change

00:44:11.780 If and when

00:44:12.280 Pierre Paglia

00:44:12.820 Becomes prime

00:44:13.440 Minister

00:44:13.700 But that's

00:44:14.360 At least a

00:44:14.840 Year away

00:44:15.340 Isn't it

00:44:15.880 Well that's

00:44:17.440 The show

00:44:17.680 For today

00:44:18.140 Until tomorrow

00:44:19.660 On behalf of

00:44:20.240 All of us

00:44:20.560 Here at

00:44:20.840 Rebel World

00:44:21.280 Headquarters

00:44:21.780 To you at

00:44:22.200 Home

00:44:22.360 Good night

00:44:22.780 And keep
