Rebel News Podcast - Ezra Levant's Battleground： May 16 2018

00:00:00.200 Well, hello, everybody. There you are. I was waiting for you. S. Levant here. It's May 16th, and you're watching Battleground.

00:00:14.360 Well, hi, guys. Don't mind me. I'm a little over-clemped today. We're getting things organized here.

00:00:19.200 What we do every day between 12 noon and 1 p.m. Eastern time is we have a live chit-chat on YouTube.

00:00:27.060 As you may know, every day at 8 p.m. Eastern time, I have a more formal show where I have a produced monologue and interview two guests usually, and I read a little bit of mail.

00:00:36.760 But from noon till 1, I have this kibitz. YouTube doesn't call it kibitz. They call it super chat because they allow you to make comments along the side of the page.

00:00:46.300 And if you want your comment to be highlighted, you can simply chip in a couple bucks, and it's put in a bright color, and it stays up there proportionate to how many bucks you put in.

00:00:59.320 I'm actually having some trouble loading it right now, so I'll look at the comments in a minute, but I'm going to get started with some news today while we wait for folks to gather.

00:01:09.080 You know, we talked about the Gaza situation and the U.S. moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

00:01:19.120 We hit that pretty hard the other day.

00:01:21.780 I think there is some news that warrants us talking about it again today.

00:01:25.560 And it's the fact that the media counter-narrative, which was so vicious, it wasn't about the historic decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem, the historic capital of biblical Zion, the modern capital of the state of Israel.

00:01:45.820 It was focused on denigrating that, I think because of the general anti-Israel antipathy in the media, but also because it was Trump who did it.

00:01:54.640 I want to start by showing you the New York Times.

00:01:58.900 The New York Times itself, Israelis kill dozens in Gaza.

00:02:10.000 That is, is that the headline?

00:02:13.260 Is that the real headline?

00:02:14.400 I suppose technically it is true, but who were the dozens and who were the Israelis in Gaza and what happened?

00:02:22.860 Well, there was a mass riot, but not just a riot in Gaza.

00:02:27.240 That would be none of Israel's affair. 0.85

00:02:29.180 It was an attempt to infiltrate into Israel.

00:02:32.860 And these were not unarmed protesters.

00:02:35.760 In fact, we see today that Hamas, senior Hamas leaders have said 50 out of the 60 they claim were killed were Hamas terrorist operatives.

00:02:47.200 50 out of 60, 50 out of 60.

00:02:50.320 Can I, can I put up the online version of the New York Times?

00:02:53.900 Because this is quite something.

00:02:57.120 This is the front page of their website yesterday.

00:03:01.560 Or was it this morning?

00:03:04.940 It was yesterday.

00:03:05.860 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight stories.

00:03:13.140 Their entire front page.

00:03:15.080 Hold it up there.

00:03:15.640 Let me read some of them.

00:03:17.040 Killings in Gaza.

00:03:18.640 A new embassy in Jerusalem and no sign of peace.

00:03:22.500 Inside a makeshift hospital where Gaza treats its wounded.

00:03:27.040 Updates an uneasy calm falls over.

00:03:29.340 You would think World War III had begun.

00:03:33.340 By the way, this is more extreme anti-Israel coverage than in the Arab media.

00:03:41.340 I say again, other than Gaza, which is controlled by the Hamas terrorist group, which has now admitted that 50 out of the 60 dead were their own operatives.

00:03:50.120 The Middle East did not care. 0.98

00:03:52.680 Saudi Arabia did not care.

00:03:54.880 Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq.

00:03:58.220 They did not care.

00:03:59.420 Why would they care?

00:04:00.780 This is a pure media stunt by Hamas. 0.89

00:04:03.920 And as you can see by the front page of the New York Times, they absolutely fell for it.

00:04:09.820 Now, you're probably thinking, well, fell for what?

00:04:12.300 Fell for what?

00:04:12.880 People were killed.

00:04:13.940 That headline is true no matter what, even if they were terrorist operatives.

00:04:18.840 Let me show you a video from Pollywood.

00:04:22.720 And I don't think this video was supposed to get out there.

00:04:25.900 This is a, put it up and I'll give some, so this is a morgue.

00:04:30.180 This is a morgue.

00:04:31.180 These are people who you can see in the background.

00:04:34.460 These are martyrs.

00:04:36.000 The media was there.

00:04:37.500 There was a big photo op.

00:04:38.660 They were sending the videos out.

00:04:41.260 These are the dead.

00:04:42.700 These are the people that Israelis murdered. 1.00

00:04:44.620 These are the people that the New York Times dedicated their entire front page to.

00:04:48.600 It's terrible.

00:04:50.140 The horrific horror show that Israel's perpetrated. 1.00

00:04:54.020 Oh, how you doing down there?

00:04:55.980 You need a snack?

00:04:57.040 Your nose is itchy?

00:04:59.100 You need a scratch somewhere?

00:05:01.260 Yeah, okay, we'll just cover you back up. 0.91

00:05:02.680 Keep acting.

00:05:04.240 Keep acting.

00:05:06.040 Did you see that?

00:05:08.300 Well, of course you saw that.

00:05:10.080 Hey, do we have the video we used from yesterday about that youngster with the canes?

00:05:15.400 I mean, this is called Pollywood.

00:05:17.820 And you have to be extremely disciplined as a journalist to ignore these little discontinuities.

00:05:26.780 You know on YouTube you can find these goofy little videos where someone went through a movie frame by frame

00:05:32.920 and does a video of Seven Mistakes in Star Wars that you probably didn't notice or something like that.

00:05:41.040 Here, this one.

00:05:42.640 Here's one of the disabled civilians who forgot that he was being filmed.

00:05:49.060 And so he was healed.

00:05:50.980 It's a miracle.

00:05:52.180 It's a Holy Land miracle.

00:05:54.380 This, and show the morgue one one more time.

00:05:56.620 Okay, so this is the fake disabled guy. 0.76

00:05:58.920 Show the morgue one more time.

00:06:00.240 Yeah, they're moving around under there.

00:06:02.920 You saw that other guy move.

00:06:04.520 Here's the second one move.

00:06:05.460 They're moving.

00:06:07.960 These are the Hamas dead. 0.87

00:06:11.360 And there he's moving a little bit.

00:06:13.620 My point is, you know those guys who go through and find seven flaws, seven discontinuities in Star Wars.

00:06:18.800 You have to really, really hunt.

00:06:20.820 I mean, if you're in a professional Hollywood movie, it's really hard to find the errors.

00:06:24.760 It's the opposite when you're dealing with Pollywood.

00:06:27.740 You have to work extremely hard to make sure you don't show all these discontinuities, irregularities, and hoaxes.

00:06:35.600 But the New York Times, you know their motto, all the news that's fit to print.

00:06:39.800 It's weird that the New York Times is so anti-Israel.

00:06:43.120 I mean, the Salzburger family is Jewish.

00:06:45.960 The newspaper is being owned by Jews, obviously, for more than a century.

00:06:50.220 But it shouldn't be surprising.

00:06:52.160 The New York Times is also dead silent about the perils of the Holocaust towards European Jewry under the Nazis.

00:06:58.860 I don't quite understand their excuses why.

00:07:01.260 But I guess they're keeping up with that longstanding tradition.

00:07:04.100 Anyways, I saw a super chat come by.

00:07:09.540 And let me go and mention it again, what we're doing here with the super chats.

00:07:14.960 I got my screen working again.

00:07:17.020 Sorry for that delay.

00:07:19.200 There's a ton of comments.

00:07:20.440 And I got an email yesterday saying, Ezra, less monologues, more comments.

00:07:23.680 Okay, we'll do.

00:07:24.640 If you want your comment to stand out like the corker, he chipped in five bucks.

00:07:28.860 And so I don't know if you saw it there.

00:07:30.280 His comment was in bright green.

00:07:31.540 I'll read it now.

00:07:32.100 Now, our ethics-violating PM is receiving an honorary law degree today at New York University.

00:07:37.160 That's a great point.

00:07:38.100 The first prime minister in Canadian history to be convicted of not one but four breaches of the federal law,

00:07:44.620 in this case, the Conflict of Interest Act, is receiving an honorary law degree.

00:07:49.000 That's a great point.

00:07:49.980 I wonder if he would be allowed to be a lawyer having been convicted of breaking the law.

00:07:54.880 I think there's two other things to say about his trip to New York.

00:07:57.720 The first is he's, that's his 56th foreign trip since becoming prime minister.

00:08:04.680 He's only been in PM for two and a half years.

00:08:08.840 And he's done 56 foreign trips.

00:08:13.220 56?

00:08:14.040 He loves going to New York.

00:08:15.280 And who doesn't?

00:08:16.460 Great restaurants, taking a show, fine hotels.

00:08:18.840 The missus can do some shopping, visit George Soros and other billionaires.

00:08:25.960 I mean, he absolutely loves going to New York and he does so all the time now.

00:08:30.620 56 times he's traveled outside the country.

00:08:33.760 That's absurd and shocking.

00:08:35.040 And you just realize, well, he's a very short attention span.

00:08:38.680 He's lazy.

00:08:39.840 He often takes personal days when he's even in Ottawa.

00:08:42.660 And he has an extremely demanding wife.

00:08:45.580 And I don't say that as any kind of allegation or aspersion.

00:08:49.000 That's just an observation.

00:08:50.640 She demands not one but two taxpayer-funded nannies. 1.00

00:08:54.780 I'll never forget.

00:08:56.040 Maybe we can even dig it up.

00:08:57.480 I don't know if we can find it.

00:08:58.500 But when she injected herself into a Martin Luther King Day event in Ottawa, which really

00:09:04.040 has nothing to do with Canada to begin with and has really nothing to do with Sophie Gregoire

00:09:09.080 Trudeau, but she had written a little song that had nothing to do with being black.

00:09:13.980 And she insisted on inflicting that song on everybody. 1.00

00:09:17.720 I say that because it goes to her entitlement.

00:09:19.840 I'm not sure if you read the Ethics Commissioner's report into Justin Trudeau, but they didn't just

00:09:25.820 have the one trip to the Billionaires Island in the Bahama.

00:09:28.000 They had more than one.

00:09:29.640 And Sophie Trudeau called up and said, hey, do you mind if I just come with some of my

00:09:35.180 girlfriends?

00:09:36.680 And the Aga Khan's family said, well, we're not going to be here in the island.

00:09:40.420 And Sophie Trudeau said, oh, that's fine.

00:09:42.080 No, no, no.

00:09:42.500 We just want to use your Billionaire Island.

00:09:45.240 So she's an extremely, extremely high-maintenance woman. 1.00

00:09:50.220 And of course, she wants the family trip to the Taj Mahal and the family trip to Tokyo

00:09:55.660 and the family trip to New York.

00:09:58.000 I just simply, we found it now.

00:10:00.220 Thanks, team.

00:10:00.840 I just simply have to show you, just to remind you, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau.

00:10:06.440 I present her song.

00:10:08.040 Some people doubt that angels can fly.

00:10:17.320 And some people fight without knowing why.

00:10:23.740 Some people live without seeing the light.

00:10:32.180 And some people live, oh, no, no, no, no, but not quite.

00:10:39.280 And I know that good will prevail.

00:10:43.560 And I could conquer the world with all the love that I feel.

00:10:49.160 When you smile back at me, when you smile back at me, I see it from the cone of your eye.

00:11:00.280 All right, that's enough.

00:11:01.440 That's enough.

00:11:01.840 The day that we will say.

00:11:02.320 Oh, my God.

00:11:03.360 You know what?

00:11:05.660 You've got to dig up our YouTube video where Gavin McInnes plays that in the background and he sings along.

00:11:12.140 I think that's probably the funniest video we've ever produced.

00:11:16.480 We've made about 8,200 videos at The Rebel.

00:11:20.120 Can you believe it?

00:11:20.940 That's a lot of videos.

00:11:22.660 I think the funniest was Gavin McInnes singing along with Sophie Gregoire.

00:11:25.920 I didn't want to do it.

00:11:26.860 I didn't want to do it because all I was thinking about was how funny Gavin was and I couldn't live up to that.

00:11:32.360 Yeah, I think that's a big reason why Justin Trudeau has gone on 56 foreign trips.

00:11:36.500 He has to keep that woman pleased.

00:11:39.780 Okay, let's take some questions.

00:11:42.440 Real Memphis says, enough already.

00:11:44.620 You're right.

00:11:45.140 You're right.

00:11:46.480 I wasn't mocking it because I couldn't be as funny as Gavin, but what's that got to do with the Martin Luther King Jr. Day?

00:11:54.740 Sophie's sort of the opposite of black. 1.00

00:11:57.320 She's so white. 0.73

00:11:58.660 She's pink.

00:11:59.860 She's so privileged.

00:12:03.400 That was just inflicted on the poor people at the Martin Luther King Day.

00:12:08.080 And why?

00:12:09.100 Well, because she's been practicing that in front of the mirror.

00:12:12.400 And she's the first lady, even though we don't really have that thing in Canada.

00:12:17.840 All right, it's 12.14.

00:12:23.240 So we're quarter done and I haven't even really got started.

00:12:25.720 Sorry we were a minute late there.

00:12:26.840 I was a little distracted.

00:12:28.120 Let me read some more questions because I got an email from folks saying, enough with the chitchat.

00:12:31.640 Take our questions.

00:12:32.740 All right.

00:12:33.040 Let's take some more.

00:12:33.640 See Baz Pig says, my cat makes strange noises at night.

00:12:40.240 I hope you're not comparing your cat's strange noises to our first lady because that's Islamophobic if you are. 1.00

00:12:47.700 So, Miss Little Pig says, I think that was animal abuse. 0.98

00:12:55.800 I don't know.

00:12:56.720 I don't know what you mean, but maybe.

00:12:59.760 Theodore Sigerson, does anyone have the link to the video Ezra mentioned just now with Gavin?

00:13:07.440 Hannah, maybe, can you dig that video up?

00:13:09.400 And I don't know how we could, maybe you can actually type it in as a comment.

00:13:17.720 It was very funny.

00:13:18.440 You can Google it, folks.

00:13:19.420 Just type it in.

00:13:20.080 Just Gavin McInnes, Sophie Gregoire will probably show up.

00:13:25.600 See Baz Picks again.

00:13:26.520 Have you guys seen The Handmaid's Tale?

00:13:28.160 No, I don't want to.

00:13:29.300 I don't want to see it.

00:13:30.200 I mean, I read the book and I think I saw a movie to that effect about 10 or 20 years ago.

00:13:37.240 And I just, every second that I see, and I see the ads for The Handmaid's Tale everywhere,

00:13:44.820 and I see it referenced all over the cultural left, and I can't bear it because every second

00:13:52.520 that you're talking about a fake theocracy that treats women like chattel and property

00:14:00.440 and, you know, harems for the pleasurable purposes of a patriarchal society, 0.88

00:14:07.420 and you're doing it as a Christian theocracy, which does not exist,

00:14:14.180 and you're ignoring Muslim theocracies, which exist, that do the same thing but much more brutally,

00:14:22.200 how can you do that?

00:14:23.620 I don't know if I told you this, but when I went to Germany a couple years ago,

00:14:27.320 I went to a refuge, a private refuge run by a Christian nun named Sister Hatun was her name.

00:14:35.360 And let me describe what this was.

00:14:37.200 This was a refuge in Germany where people fled from the official government refugee centers in Germany.

00:14:45.240 So these people came from Syria and Iraq.

00:14:47.520 They were fleeing the Civil War.

00:14:48.660 They went to Germany, as so many did. 0.97

00:14:51.600 But when they were in Germany, the non-Muslims were still persecuted.

00:14:56.360 They were beat up.

00:14:57.160 They were threatened.

00:14:58.760 They were demanded they convert.

00:15:01.520 So even in Germany, ISIS was running the refugee centers.

00:15:06.720 So some of the Christians and Yezidis had to flee from the official German refugee center,

00:15:14.480 and Sister Hatun was taking some of them in.

00:15:16.920 And I met, for the first time in my life, a Yezidi. 1.00

00:15:21.160 Do you know what that is?

00:15:21.960 It's a very obscure religion.

00:15:24.360 It's not Muslim. 1.00

00:15:25.180 It's not Christian. 1.00

00:15:26.160 It's a religion.

00:15:27.040 It's not an ethnicity.

00:15:28.080 A lot of them are Kurdish.

00:15:30.040 I met a Yezidi.

00:15:31.520 And the Yezidis often have blue eyes. 1.00

00:15:33.540 So they've got olive skin.

00:15:34.860 They've got brown skin because it's from the Middle East.

00:15:36.940 But they have blue eyes, which is quite something when you see that combination.

00:15:40.320 And so they were prized by ISIS terrorists as rape slaves.

00:15:47.280 And so ISIS would come in and murder the men or demand they convert.

00:15:51.520 If they didn't convert, they'd murder them. 1.00

00:15:53.180 And they would take these Yezidi women as rape slaves, and they would pass them around. 1.00

00:15:59.260 And this was not condemned by ISIS.

00:16:02.020 It was, in fact, sacralized.

00:16:04.320 This was a reward.

00:16:06.140 This was an official currency.

00:16:07.640 They had official rape slave auctions. 1.00

00:16:10.840 And I met a woman who was a rape slave of ISIS who said, who told me, we have it on, you 0.53

00:16:17.840 can Google the video on our rebel site, she lost count after she was raped 240 times.

00:16:26.400 So that exists.

00:16:28.380 Rape slavery authorized by the Koran, enforced by a caliphate, a theocracy called the Islamic 1.00

00:16:34.680 State, that exists.

00:16:36.260 And the left is silent on that, but they want me to watch a show about rape slavery and

00:16:43.360 a misogynist theocracy that's Christian. 1.00

00:16:46.660 I'm sorry, I can't do that.

00:16:48.140 That would be like someone making a fictitious movie of the week about a Holocaust where the 0.77

00:16:56.540 Jews were burning Germans.

00:16:59.580 No, it's the opposite.

00:17:01.500 Don't show me a piece of Hollywood fiction where the Christians are the slavers.

00:17:09.380 In fact, speaking of all slavery, it was the Christians, Wilberforce and others, who ended 0.98

00:17:13.700 slavery.

00:17:14.120 It was the Christianity that ended slavery.

00:17:17.800 But don't tell me a fictional work where the Christians are the abusers.

00:17:23.260 In the Middle East, the Christians are the abused by the Muslim rape slavers. 1.00

00:17:28.340 It's in the Koran.

00:17:29.080 And the Corker writes again, Ezra, how much do you think we taxpayers will pay to get Kinder

00:17:34.860 Morgan built?

00:17:35.600 Five billion?

00:17:36.340 Ten billion?

00:17:37.120 That's a reference to the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion.

00:17:41.200 Of course, you don't need to pay to get the pipeline built.

00:17:44.240 A company called Kinder Morgan wants to put in $7.4 billion of their own money.

00:17:47.980 It will not get built just by adding more money with its $5 billion or $10 billion.

00:17:56.260 It just will not get built.

00:17:57.140 That's not the problem.

00:17:57.740 The problem isn't money.

00:17:58.500 In fact, the money was there like it was for Energy East Pipeline, Northern Gateway Pipeline.

00:18:05.360 No amount of money can get it through if there's no rule of law in Canada, either the constitutional

00:18:10.020 law or just plain old enforcing the criminal code.

00:18:12.540 I don't know if you saw my show, my paywall show at 8 p.m. a few weeks ago.

00:18:16.780 I did a story on a rock quarry in Digme Neck, Nova Scotia, tiny little town.

00:18:23.020 A rock quarry, basalt.

00:18:24.400 I don't even know what that is.

00:18:25.180 It's kind of volcanic rock.

00:18:26.320 They wanted to mine this rock and then have a marine terminal ship it to the States and

00:18:33.340 two million tons a year or something.

00:18:35.380 That's a lot of rock.

00:18:36.040 And over the course of the 50-year life of the mine, they thought they'd make half a

00:18:40.420 billion dollars.

00:18:41.740 And they were invited to invest and they did and they spent millions and they went through

00:18:45.880 an environmental review as they knew they would and that was fine.

00:18:49.220 But at the end of this, it was blocked, not for any real environmental reason, not for

00:18:53.560 any real safety reason, for made-up reasons of social license.

00:18:57.440 So they were not given their permits.

00:18:59.600 It was a loosey-goosey, you're against our values ruling.

00:19:02.260 And so they sued under NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, which says you have

00:19:06.920 to treat each other's investors fairly.

00:19:08.500 You can't rip them off.

00:19:09.500 You can't rig the rules.

00:19:10.860 And the NAFTA panel sided with the American investor.

00:19:14.580 It was appealed to the federal court in Canada.

00:19:17.240 Canada's federal court agreed, I've held the ruling.

00:19:19.700 So this loosey-goosey social license, you don't have to buy in from the community.

00:19:25.200 Yeah, that's stunning the rules.

00:19:26.540 It is, you know, are you environmentally safe?

00:19:28.640 Are you physically safe?

00:19:30.840 Check, check, check, check, check.

00:19:31.920 Check, there's not a catch I'll call it, you know, does the local activist approve.

00:19:37.380 Canada's going to be on the hook for half a billion dollars in penalties.

00:19:40.760 That's what this mine says they would have earned over 50 years.

00:19:43.440 And Canada's going to have to pay them half a billion. 0.78

00:19:45.460 That's just for a little rock quarry. 0.87

00:19:48.960 Imagine how much Kinder Morgan will be able to soak taxpayers for, not because they want

00:19:53.540 to, they want to build the pipeline.

00:19:54.620 But if Justin Trudeau and John Horgan and other Canadian entities break the law by faking the

00:20:02.400 reasons that pipeline can't get built, get ready to pay out the whole amount.

00:20:06.800 VM Parliament says, do you think the NDP have a chance to win in Ontario?

00:20:10.020 And my answer is yes.

00:20:12.280 They absolutely do.

00:20:13.740 And here's how it could go down.

00:20:15.100 And it's terrifying to see it.

00:20:17.400 Kathleen Wynne is in third place.

00:20:18.960 She's really doing poorly as the Liberal Party is in.

00:20:23.280 I've seen several polls put them in third place.

00:20:26.480 Kathleen Wynne as a personality is so unlikable.

00:20:28.720 The latest Liberal Party ads have a young actress just as a stand-in, not pretending to be Kathleen

00:20:36.140 Wynne, but just some anonymous actress saying, hey, not everything's gone great.

00:20:39.980 Can we call that ad up, that Ontario Liberal ad?

00:20:42.800 I'd like to show it to our viewers, those of you who are not from Ontario.

00:20:46.640 It's quite something.

00:20:47.760 Have you ever seen the key ad for a party not feature that party's leader?

00:20:53.940 I mean, whether it's Trump or Hillary Clinton or Obama in the States or in Canada.

00:20:58.120 I mean, your leader is your leader.

00:21:01.120 That's what it means to lead.

00:21:02.260 But you're so embarrassed and ashamed of your leader.

00:21:05.140 Let me show this ad.

00:21:06.060 I mean, the ad itself, for what it is, it's a little wobbly.

00:21:10.800 I have some criticisms of it.

00:21:11.980 But the shocking fact is they hired an actor because the leader is so odious.

00:21:18.480 Take a look.

00:21:20.060 Okay, I get it.

00:21:21.580 Everything hasn't been perfect in Kathleen Wynne's Ontario.

00:21:24.040 But four years ago, Wynne said she'd build Ontario up by investing in hospitals and schools and transit to create jobs.

00:21:31.980 I won't show it to you, but I love, okay, fine.

00:21:39.560 So everything hasn't been great.

00:21:41.600 But here, can I be a paid actor and read to you some lines?

00:21:44.860 Okay, fine.

00:21:45.760 Okay, fine.

00:21:46.480 It's not great.

00:21:47.420 It's when you're paying an actor to go out and say that because your leader is so hated, you're in trouble.

00:21:54.840 And my point is, Doug Ford, I think he's going to win.

00:21:57.980 I think he can win.

00:21:58.800 I think he should win.

00:21:59.600 I think it's right for Ontario that he does win.

00:22:01.420 I think Ontario needs him to win.

00:22:02.680 But what if Kathleen Wynne does so poorly in the polls and there's like this stink of death over her campaign? 1.00

00:22:13.480 That's such a desperation move.

00:22:15.140 They're doing so many desperation moves.

00:22:17.240 The tweets are so absurd.

00:22:20.720 In a debate recently, Doug Ford said, Kathleen, when you have a nice smile.

00:22:25.300 Okay, I don't think that's a particularly weird thing to say.

00:22:29.620 Oh, my God, the liberal press release is sexist.

00:22:32.880 He's mansplaining.

00:22:34.060 No, no, he just said you have a nice smile, which I don't even think is true.

00:22:37.940 But they're misfiring.

00:22:41.400 No one's listening to them.

00:22:42.540 No one cares.

00:22:43.200 I saw an article in the Toronto Star yesterday panicking that nothing's sticking to Doug Ford.

00:22:47.540 Here's my point.

00:22:48.640 Let's say Doug Ford's at 40% in the polls.

00:22:51.080 That's pretty healthy, right, in a three-party race.

00:22:53.220 I mean, that's majority territory.

00:22:55.840 But what happens if people look around and say, you know, I don't like Doug Ford and I don't love Kathleen Wynne,

00:23:02.160 but I sure don't like Doug Ford and I'm going to vote for Kathleen Wynne.

00:23:04.820 But if she's in third place consistently, consistently, consistently, and if the campaign starts to look really desperate,

00:23:11.480 which I think it is, the election's on June 7th, if I'm not mistaken.

00:23:15.520 What happens if the anybody but Ford, ABF, ABC, anybody but conservative vote says, shoot.

00:23:23.880 Voting for Kathleen Wynne just, it's a wasted vote.

00:23:27.740 Put your vote behind the NDP.

00:23:29.160 This Andrea Horvath, she seems nice enough.

00:23:32.080 We haven't really done a lot of due diligence on her because we never thought she was serious.

00:23:35.160 That's almost what happened in Alberta with Rachel Notley.

00:23:38.100 That is exactly what happened.

00:23:40.220 People said, I don't like Jim Prentice.

00:23:43.380 I don't like the incumbents.

00:23:48.500 Sorry, I'm trying to remember who it was there, but Rachel Notley came up the middle.

00:23:52.240 Well, that's sort of how Bob Ray was elected, I don't know, 20, 23, 20 odd years ago.

00:23:57.660 I forget the year he was elected.

00:23:59.240 He just came up the middle when people said, a pox on everyone else.

00:24:03.240 If the anti-Doug Ford vote coalesces around the NDP, they have a chance.

00:24:08.960 I'm not saying they'll win.

00:24:10.100 Right now, I'd still bet on Doug Ford.

00:24:12.260 But yeah, the NDP has a chance.

00:24:14.120 Especially if Doug Ford continues to demoralize the conservative base by flip-flopping on key issues.

00:24:21.040 He threw out Tanya Granick-Allen, which I thought was a mistake.

00:24:23.880 Let's read some more comments.

00:24:25.020 And then, look, it's 12.26.

00:24:26.340 I want to show you a few other things today.

00:24:29.780 Time's running.

00:24:30.660 Okay, El Chepacabra is back, saying, hi, Tammy.

00:24:33.500 Tammy Putinsk-Zanbelt says, okay, donkey smile.

00:24:36.340 I don't know what that means.

00:24:38.240 Entry Required says, I thought the discussion about Trudeau's cook being kept in a separate residence

00:24:41.600 was interesting.

00:24:42.780 Yeah, yeah.

00:24:44.220 I had Manny Montano-Grino on to talk about that.

00:24:47.860 He points out that Trudeau's living in Rideau Hall.

00:24:53.120 His cook is living in 24 Sussex Drive.

00:24:56.240 And he's got another residence over the Quebec side called Harrington Lake.

00:25:00.020 And rumors are, and I have no proof of it, that Trudeau's mom is in there, Margaret Trudeau.

00:25:05.140 I suppose we could stake out with a camera there and see who's coming and going.

00:25:12.980 You know, Justin Trudeau always says that the purpose of a carbon tax is to make choices

00:25:17.280 costly, so Canadians make better choices about their carbon footprint.

00:25:21.500 His choice is to have an entire house dedicated to his chef and to drive the meals over from

00:25:27.520 24 Sussex Drive.

00:25:29.180 Drive them half a mile to Rideau Hall because apparently the kitchen in Rideau Hall isn't

00:25:35.520 good enough.

00:25:35.860 Or as Manny suggested, maybe Trudeau doesn't want any strangers in the house.

00:25:41.300 Maybe things are not as idyllic with that karaoke star, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau.

00:25:48.340 And he just doesn't want any personnel in the house.

00:25:50.800 Wouldn't surprise me.

00:25:51.540 Let's take a look, see more comments.

00:25:59.320 If you want your comment to stand out, just throw it in the super chat here.

00:26:02.640 Mike Levine says, have you heard of Abiyamini?

00:26:04.820 He's doing good work in Australia.

00:26:06.300 He seems to be cut from the rebel clock.

00:26:07.980 Yes, I have heard about him.

00:26:09.860 And I've watched some of his videos.

00:26:11.480 And I like what I see.

00:26:13.860 And I've considered, I've thought about it.

00:26:15.840 So he's on my radar.

00:26:16.660 And I, so, so the answer is yes.

00:26:20.820 I like what I see.

00:26:21.920 I probably need to do some more due diligence.

00:26:24.100 And of course, but he has in fact reached out to us.

00:26:26.340 So thank you for that tip.

00:26:28.660 R said, says, how can you own Jerusalem for yourself?

00:26:31.840 I'm not sure what you're referring to, but if you've read the Bible, you know that Jerusalem

00:26:36.400 is the biblical, historical, eternal capital of the Jews.

00:26:40.200 That's where the word Zionism comes from, Mount Zion. 0.61

00:26:42.620 It's in the Bible.

00:26:43.960 And it's the capital of the state of Israel.

00:26:45.780 I think the reality of moving, that reality, I mean, you just move your capital, move your

00:26:51.640 embassy where the capital is.

00:26:52.900 Hey, it's 1228.

00:26:54.040 I'm going to take a break from reading comments.

00:26:56.240 And I want to show you what's, I want to show you a clip of what's coming up tonight.

00:27:06.400 Off the Cuff Declassified with John Cardillo.

00:27:08.940 Take a look.

00:27:10.560 Today on Off the Cuff Declassified, North Korea is threatening to pull out of their summit with

00:27:14.340 the United States, but it doesn't look like we're taking them seriously.

00:27:18.180 Special counsel Robert Mueller is under fire as the one-year anniversary of his probe draws near.

00:27:24.100 The rebels' Tiffany Gabay joins me to discuss the unrest in Gaza.

00:27:27.840 And are China and Russia faking their GDP numbers?

00:27:32.120 Satellite imagery seems to suggest they are.

00:27:35.660 We'll analyze.

00:27:42.440 I like that guy.

00:27:43.460 That's John Cardillo.

00:27:44.300 He's our former NYPD cop.

00:27:45.940 He's based in Florida.

00:27:47.060 He covers a lot of the Trump MAGA stuff.

00:27:49.680 And you can hear what else he's up to today.

00:27:52.120 I don't know if you've ever watched him.

00:27:53.460 May I encourage you to tune in.

00:27:54.580 And while I'm showing and teasing and pitching other talent, can I show you a promo for today's

00:28:02.180 show by my good friend, Sheila Gunn-Reed?

00:28:05.420 Obviously, it's called The Gun Show.

00:28:08.340 Let's show that ad, too, so people can see what that's all about.

00:28:11.460 Hey, everybody.

00:28:12.400 It's Wednesday, and you know what that means.

00:28:14.780 It's another all-new gun show with me, your host, Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:28:19.000 Now, joining me tonight is my good friend, Michelle Sterling from Friends of Science.

00:28:25.060 Today, we're talking about, well, a little bit of everything.

00:28:28.660 David Suzuki, the push to force banks to divest from fossil fuels, and the embedded anti-oil

00:28:35.020 activists in Justin Trudeau's government.

00:28:37.400 It is a packed show tonight.

00:28:39.520 You don't want to miss it.

00:28:40.620 Hey, by the way, if you want to hang out with John, and Sheila, and me, and Katie Hopkins,

00:28:54.400 and speaking of Australia, Dr. Tanvir Ahmed, one of our contributors down there, we are going

00:29:00.300 to Israel for 10 days.

00:29:03.740 That is a long time.

00:29:05.900 And you're invited.

00:29:08.040 I don't know if you know this, but we're going to Israel.

00:29:09.940 Do we have a TV ad that we can play about that?

00:29:12.500 I'm just playing so many ads here.

00:29:13.940 We don't have a TV ad for that now, but I'll play one later this week.

00:29:17.960 Or a little pitch.

00:29:19.120 It's not necessarily an ad.

00:29:20.220 We're going, and we're inviting our most enthusiastic rebels to come with us.

00:29:25.640 It's not just going to be tourism.

00:29:26.980 There will be tourism.

00:29:27.940 If you're Christian, if you're Jewish, if you're Muslim, if you're interested in the 0.99

00:29:30.540 country, we'll tour around.

00:29:32.480 We'll hit the spots.

00:29:34.340 But it'll also be briefings, political briefings, military briefings.

00:29:39.940 We are actually, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but it's a fact.

00:29:44.820 We are going to the graduation ceremony of the Israel Air Force Academy, which has an

00:29:51.100 awesome air show.

00:29:52.320 I think the F-35 jet will be involved in that.

00:29:54.880 I'm not sure.

00:29:55.840 But it's, you know, Israel's Air Force is the most modern in the world with Americans. 0.59

00:30:00.280 I mean, they're one of the early adopters of the, I think it's the F-35 or maybe it's

00:30:04.240 the F-22.

00:30:05.440 That's going to be an awesome trip.

00:30:07.980 And it's going to be about 60 or 70 other rebel viewers.

00:30:12.500 And the five talents I just mentioned, Sheila, John, Tanvir, Katie Hopkins, myself, we'll have

00:30:18.580 a couple of rebel staff.

00:30:20.320 Great food.

00:30:21.220 Oh, my God.

00:30:21.880 You're going to get fat.

00:30:23.160 I'll get fatter.

00:30:25.160 Two in a round, we'll have a couple of buses. 0.91

00:30:26.880 It'll be, I'm looking forward to it.

00:30:29.320 It is 10 days.

00:30:30.260 So it's a serious trip.

00:30:32.000 Serious trip.

00:30:32.880 If you want details, go to rebelisrael.com.

00:30:37.020 It's sort of like a cruise, which was scuppered by an alt-left activist group.

00:30:43.500 But you can't scupper this one because it's going forward.

00:30:47.920 That's rebelisrael.com.

00:30:49.760 All right.

00:30:50.320 How are we doing for time?

00:30:51.040 It's 1232.

00:30:51.860 I'm going to read another Super Chat comment by Ali Clark.

00:30:55.300 Thanks, Ali.

00:30:57.000 Ezra, did you look into notifications issues on YouTube?

00:30:59.920 Had to go to your website to see if you were even on today.

00:31:03.460 I mentioned we did ask our YouTube guru about this.

00:31:08.060 And I saw a note from him that he was looking in.

00:31:10.060 Hannah, maybe we can follow up with our YouTube guru, Adam.

00:31:13.500 And ask what he saw.

00:31:15.680 Because I take your point.

00:31:17.060 And you're not the only one who said it, Ali, that we need more notification issues.

00:31:21.600 I believe that it's probably some sort of gentle censorship against us on the part of YouTube.

00:31:27.120 And I know that sounds like a conspiracy theory.

00:31:28.740 But I've actually had three meetings with YouTube and Google about these things.

00:31:32.440 And they don't care.

00:31:34.180 I don't know if you've ever watched Paul Joseph Watson.

00:31:36.200 He's one of my favorite guys on YouTube.

00:31:37.640 I think he says that his last 37 or something videos in a row have all been demonetized.

00:31:43.980 And his latest one, which is excellent, which is about the new video by Childish Gambino, not only is it demonetized, but they're treating it like hate speech.

00:31:53.040 I've very rarely seen it.

00:31:54.180 You have to click, yes, I agree, to see controversial material.

00:31:58.680 And they've made it unshareable and unlikable.

00:32:01.780 Like they're literally treating it like hate speech.

00:32:04.160 It's just for a political commentary based on a violent video that they've promoted.

00:32:10.780 They've got 120 million views on YouTube in a few days to the music video.

00:32:15.460 There's no age restrictions on there, even though it's graphic violence.

00:32:18.880 But Paul Joseph Watson critiques that graphic violence.

00:32:21.960 And that's controversial and all sorts of age appropriate.

00:32:26.020 And, you know, it's crazy.

00:32:27.980 William Coleman says, wasn't happy that the Rebel Live is the weekend of the election.

00:32:32.200 Election blackout is June 5th.

00:32:33.760 Wish it was scheduled at a more appropriate time.

00:32:37.040 I take your point, William.

00:32:39.800 And part of me thought, well, this will be a very exciting time to have it.

00:32:46.280 It may have been availability of the venue.

00:32:48.680 I'm not sure, but I take your point.

00:32:50.200 I should say that the Rebel Live attendance is really coming along.

00:32:55.220 I think we're more than half sold out.

00:32:57.340 And we still have three weeks of ticket sales.

00:32:59.680 So I think it's going to really go great.

00:33:00.760 In fact, why don't we just, if people are wondering what I'm talking about,

00:33:03.420 I think we do have that Rebel Live at. 0.96

00:33:05.340 Let's just play it right now.

00:33:07.140 We're going to discuss topics that the political elites and the media party don't want us to discuss.

00:33:14.020 Political correctness be damned.

00:33:21.160 Compassion isn't enough of a principle to guide the world by.

00:33:24.020 Perhaps we are in better touch with the pulse of the country.

00:33:33.300 We are in this fight with you, and you're all in this fight together.

00:33:43.300 If you see over the last few years, there's been this populist movement going around the world.

00:33:47.860 That's the status of the left at this point, is I don't know if you're the Onion or the New York Times.

00:33:59.520 Most modernism is a sophisticated philosophy.

00:34:01.980 Now, it's wrong, but it's deeply wrong.

00:34:09.000 We're simply people with another point of view.

00:34:11.100 That's Rebel Live.

00:34:22.620 I'm showing you so many ads.

00:34:24.480 I think we've had four ads today.

00:34:26.100 I'm pretty excited about that.

00:34:27.020 I see another super chat from VM Parliament.

00:34:29.080 Would you ever run for office?

00:34:30.240 I'd vote for you.

00:34:31.220 Well, thank you for that.

00:34:32.340 I appreciate that.

00:34:33.560 I don't know if I would.

00:34:34.700 I mean, I know when I was younger.

00:34:36.020 I actually tried to.

00:34:37.040 When I was, I think, 29 or something, I ran for Parliament.

00:34:41.100 I actually won the nomination for the Canadian Alliance, as it was then known, the precursor

00:34:45.500 of the Conservative Party, in Calgary Southwest, one of the safest ridings in Canada for Conservatives.

00:34:50.980 But five weeks after I got that nomination, Stephen Harper was selected as the new leader

00:34:54.540 of the party, and he needed a safe seat to run in, and so he sort of moved into that by-election.

00:35:00.180 I resisted stepping aside at first.

00:35:02.020 I had worked so hard for it, but of course, paving the way for the new leader of the party

00:35:06.760 who went on to become a very strong prime minister for almost 10 years.

00:35:11.300 That's how that story ended, and it pushed me in a different path.

00:35:13.800 I went on to help start the Western Standard magazine, to write a series of books, including

00:35:18.620 Ethical Oil, to join the Sun News Network, and now with the Rebels.

00:35:22.680 So my life has taken a different path.

00:35:25.400 Occasionally, I wonder what would have happened had I gone into Parliament.

00:35:29.320 I know one thing for sure would have been a lot less financial stress.

00:35:33.080 You get a nice six-figure job, and much more important than that, you get all the staff

00:35:38.100 and the budget and the travel and two offices, one in Ottawa, one in the Rhine.

00:35:43.700 You get so much infrastructure.

00:35:45.820 That's actually what costs so much, more than just the salary itself.

00:35:50.500 And of course, you have the Forum of Parliament and access to the media.

00:35:54.040 So those are all the pluses for being elected as an MP, for example.

00:35:58.140 But the minus is, well, there is the insane travel back and forth, especially if I were

00:36:03.200 to run from Calgary, where I used to be from.

00:36:06.640 But I think the biggest one is, if you're not the...

00:36:10.700 It's like being on a dog sled, you know, when all the huskies are pulling the dog sled.

00:36:17.040 If you're not the one at the front, you don't...

00:36:20.920 You know, you're pretty much just following the party discipline and the message track.

00:36:26.460 And that can be fine.

00:36:27.620 But I don't know if I'd be good, especially as I get older, at biting my tongue on things

00:36:33.380 you're not allowed to say.

00:36:34.600 I suppose if I was focused on something that I really was passionate about and given, you

00:36:41.460 know, the power to talk about, like ethical oil I mentioned, but if I had to shut up about

00:36:46.860 20 other things, it would be tough.

00:36:48.640 That's the bargain you make when you go into elected office.

00:36:51.800 You're part of a team and you have to have a team discipline.

00:36:54.820 And you can't have a caucus of 100 MPs saying 100 things that are not in harmony with each

00:37:00.480 other.

00:37:00.700 And who makes the decision?

00:37:02.400 It's the top dog.

00:37:03.480 I have to tell you, if I were an MP in Andrew Scheer's caucus, I would not be enjoying...

00:37:09.740 I don't think I would be enjoying my life.

00:37:11.920 I don't think Maxime Bernier is.

00:37:13.600 I mean, I'm not trying to cause trouble.

00:37:15.280 I think it's just so evident that Maxime Bernier is biting his tongue every single day.

00:37:19.900 I'm sure there are other compensations.

00:37:21.980 Like I say, free job, free stuff, access.

00:37:25.220 You can work on constituency files.

00:37:27.020 You can work on projects.

00:37:28.000 You can have private members' bills.

00:37:29.580 There are a lot of good things to do.

00:37:32.720 That's a very, very long answer to a very friendly question.

00:37:35.640 But in short, I don't think I would run.

00:37:38.740 I just don't think I would.

00:37:40.160 I just don't think I'm built for party politics.

00:37:42.080 Maybe I'll change.

00:37:43.580 Maybe my temperament will change.

00:37:44.960 Maybe the nature of parties will change.

00:37:46.620 But in some ways, I think we make more of a difference outside politics.

00:37:49.700 I think that's something that Stephen Bannon got right in America, and it's something that

00:37:54.720 Paul Joseph Watson says all the time.

00:37:56.860 Politics is downstream from the culture.

00:38:00.240 Politics is where the power is.

00:38:01.920 But the influence is in the media.

00:38:05.040 It's in pop culture.

00:38:06.780 It's in music.

00:38:07.880 That new video by Childish Gambino will, in many ways, have more influence than any editorial.

00:38:16.500 That's why Kanye West's breaking away from the Democrat pact was so powerful.

00:38:23.140 All right, let's look for some more comments here.

00:38:25.460 It is 1240.

00:38:30.320 Roald Dax says,

00:38:31.000 Well, I saw the Save the Christians documentary yesterday.

00:38:33.140 Canada is a country with Christian values and should be bringing in Christian refugees as

00:38:36.660 a priority.

00:38:37.300 Well, I'm glad you saw it.

00:38:39.820 That's right.

00:38:40.220 Did I tell you?

00:38:41.640 SavetheChristians.com.

00:38:42.500 Our video, our first documentary error, is now available on video on demand or to pre-order

00:38:48.440 the DVDs.

00:38:49.540 Thank you.

00:38:50.080 I'm thrilled you saw it, Roald.

00:38:51.680 Well, thanks for the feedback.

00:38:54.040 That's great.

00:38:56.700 Marcel84, Ezra, no one will vote for you.

00:38:58.440 You own, represent Israel, not us or U.S. 0.91

00:39:02.840 Well, I'm in Canada, so I don't report to represent the U.S.

00:39:07.660 I don't support Israel. 1.00

00:39:09.680 We're going to Israel, as I told you, because we support Israel.

00:39:12.860 I've also been to Taiwan.

00:39:14.140 I support Taiwan.

00:39:15.260 I'm not Chinese.

00:39:16.580 I'm not Taiwanese first. 0.56

00:39:18.080 I just support that little democracy against the authoritarian dictatorship next to it

00:39:23.100 called China.

00:39:23.760 I support Israel for reasons of ethnicity and religious heritage as well.

00:39:27.560 But I'm not a, I'm a Canadian.

00:39:30.240 I'm a Canadian first and only.

00:39:31.520 I only have one passport.

00:39:33.040 Canada's my home.

00:39:33.820 I admire Israel.

00:39:34.920 I have an emotional tie to it.

00:39:37.860 But I believe in a sovereign Canada, and that's where I am.

00:39:43.540 I think being pro-Canada generally means you're sympathetic to democracies around the world.

00:39:51.700 I think it's natural to be pro-Israel if you're a Democrat, especially if you're a conservative.

00:39:56.840 When I mean Democrat, small d.

00:39:58.280 In fact, I think it would be very hard to be pro-Hezbollah, pro-Hamas, if you have Canadian 0.99

00:40:05.420 values.

00:40:05.840 So I disagree with you.

00:40:07.820 Darla McKinnon, it is my preference.

00:40:09.680 Canadians are safe.

00:40:10.480 But do we even control our own countries anymore?

00:40:13.200 Well, that's the thing.

00:40:14.020 With open borders, we clearly don't.

00:40:15.540 And Justin Trudeau has just opened it up.

00:40:17.960 First to 40,000, 50,000 Syrian migrants that were not vetted. 0.79

00:40:21.020 And now to people just walking up from the states that Donald Trump's on the verge of

00:40:26.860 deporting.

00:40:28.340 Here is another super chat.

00:40:30.160 I recognize this name from a couple weeks ago, Urethra Grundle.

00:40:35.300 That's a great name.

00:40:36.400 Hello.

00:40:36.780 Again, just an idea.

00:40:37.820 I'd like to see Rebel bumper stickers heavily distributed to educate the public that Rebel 0.98

00:40:41.900 exists.

00:40:42.760 Many don't know that Rebel exists and continue to digest CBC News.

00:40:46.980 You know, that's a good idea.

00:40:48.340 I haven't been to our Rebel store in a while.

00:40:50.300 We probably need to freshen it up.

00:40:53.540 You know, it's not a bad idea.

00:40:55.260 Almost just to give them out.

00:40:56.820 I don't know if you noticed, but the back of my laptop, I have this little sticker.

00:41:00.500 Can you see it?

00:41:01.000 I love oil sands.

00:41:02.280 And I just put that on there.

00:41:04.160 Frankly, you know why I put that on there?

00:41:05.360 Because I go through airport security.

00:41:08.180 I have to take my computer out and I put it in a little bin.

00:41:11.060 And there's so many computers and they all look the same, right?

00:41:15.020 Or similar.

00:41:15.960 So I just slapped that oil sands sticker on there.

00:41:18.040 First of all, because I believe in the oil sands.

00:41:19.480 And second of all, so I can identify my computer.

00:41:23.140 I don't want someone to take mine or vice versa.

00:41:26.000 I'm pretty sure I got that sticker for free and it's worth it for me, for them.

00:41:30.840 So yeah, I think I like your idea.

00:41:32.480 I like your idea.

00:41:32.960 Maybe we should give them out for free, just the cost of shipping, and have a voluntary contribution.

00:41:37.480 If you want to chip in a few bucks, you can.

00:41:39.660 But you know what, Urethra Grundle, if that is your real name, that sounds like sort of

00:41:46.020 a lovable nickname.

00:41:48.160 You know, I bet your real name is something like Joy Smith, but it's like a pet name.

00:41:52.820 Oh, come here, you little Urethra Grundle. 1.00

00:41:55.560 Well, some more chit-chats. 0.90

00:41:59.540 Miss Little Pig says, I'd buy a Rebel Bumper sticker. 1.00

00:42:02.780 Thank you.

00:42:04.580 Sarah Ann, what are you, 19 stickers on your computer?

00:42:07.240 Well, it's just one sticker.

00:42:09.120 It says, I love the old sands.

00:42:10.140 And I told you why I put it on there.

00:42:12.420 So I don't, because at the airport, everyone takes their computers out as you go through

00:42:17.160 the groping security.

00:42:19.180 And you wouldn't believe how many computers look the same.

00:42:21.400 I just put that on there so no one takes one.

00:42:22.960 It's like when people put a little ribbon or tape on their luggage, because all luggage

00:42:27.200 is sort of black and looks the same.

00:42:32.940 Allie Clark says, hand them out at events as well.

00:42:34.880 Good point.

00:42:36.800 Real Men Fish, I love our U.S. neighbors.

00:42:38.880 Bumper sticker would blow up a few frog heads.

00:42:41.120 That's okay.

00:42:41.820 Frank M. stickers are cool.

00:42:44.080 Oh, Sarah M., what about pink Rebel hats?

00:42:45.820 Perhaps a march.

00:42:46.860 Hey, nice idea.

00:42:51.780 I would Rebel bumper sticker my whole fleet.

00:42:56.360 Were you like an admiral of the Navy or something?

00:43:01.260 Don McKenna, just write it down with a marker on places.

00:43:05.040 All right.

00:43:05.760 Rebel graffiti, Banksy style.

00:43:08.060 Noice.

00:43:08.520 A.O.S. Dorp, thank you, Israel.

00:43:12.520 At least that way, some of our money, that Islamic regime of Iran, steal from us, Iranians 1.00

00:43:16.540 will remain in our land.

00:43:17.620 I support Israel all the way against all Islamists. 1.00

00:43:20.400 Well, that's interesting, because I think Israel is a military and political and diplomatic

00:43:24.700 bulwark against Islamic extremism.

00:43:27.000 And that's why some of the moderate Arab dictatorships are becoming more and more friendly with Israel, 0.80

00:43:32.300 as they see it's the only muscle and political will in the region that might be able to stop

00:43:36.840 some extreme terrorism or nuclear adventurism.

00:43:41.980 Urethra Grundle, just hand and mouth spread the word. 0.95

00:43:47.540 Jonathan Bryant, I'd buy Rebel clothing swag.

00:43:50.600 Don't have a car.

00:43:53.220 I think, you know what?

00:43:54.260 You're convincing me.

00:43:54.840 By the way, this little mug, it says on the one hand there, it says the Rebel.

00:43:58.180 But on the other hand, it says, don't blame me.

00:44:01.400 I vote a conservative.

00:44:02.180 This was one of our best sellers, by the way.

00:44:04.060 But I think you're right.

00:44:04.720 It's been a while since we freshened up our stock in our store.

00:44:07.620 So you're encouraging me to do that.

00:44:13.060 All right.

00:44:13.640 You know what?

00:44:15.060 It's, oh my gosh, it's 1246.

00:44:16.980 I've been kibitzing too much.

00:44:18.020 I've been showing too many ads, and I've been reading too many comments.

00:44:21.420 I want to show you two more things.

00:44:27.160 Celebrities.

00:44:27.760 They're so much smarter than us, aren't they?

00:44:30.520 Or bolder or braver or something.

00:44:33.940 I mean, Chelsea Handler, do you know who I'm talking about?

00:44:36.460 Sort of a left-wing, all-purpose chit-chat.

00:44:40.820 Absolute, basic celebrity.

00:44:43.720 I mean, if there's conventional wisdom, she's got it.

00:44:48.500 Oh, I see fan.

00:44:49.340 How much revenue do you think you'll generate from the super chat feature?

00:44:52.080 Not a ton.

00:44:53.880 Not a ton.

00:44:55.120 I mean, if we got 100 bucks a show, that'd be great.

00:44:58.720 If we got 250 bucks a show, that'd be amazing.

00:45:01.780 That would cover some serious staff expenses around here.

00:45:05.580 You know, we do it because, you know, we are in the editorial content business.

00:45:09.880 But yeah, if the super chat added up, it's, I mean, today, I'm just glancing over, it's

00:45:15.340 not even going to hit 100 bucks.

00:45:17.160 But we're doing it, we're going to grow.

00:45:18.680 We've only been doing this for a couple weeks.

00:45:20.360 Anyways, back to Chelsea Handler.

00:45:21.440 When I think who is a master of world affairs, who grasps the intricacies of the Arab-Israeli 1.00

00:45:32.600 conflict, the centuries-long battle between Islam and Judaism and Christianity, who understands 0.95

00:45:40.380 the sweep of history from the Crusades to the Ottoman Empire to the British Mandate, I think

00:45:46.920 maybe Henry Kissinger, maybe in his own way Bill Clinton did, and Chelsea Handler.

00:45:57.080 Those are the three titans of foreign policy smarts.

00:46:01.720 And as proof for that third selection, which you might doubt, let me show you a tweet from

00:46:07.600 Chelsea Handler.

00:46:09.600 I'm just going to read it.

00:46:11.060 Now, the BB Crazies, BB is a nickname for Benjamin Netanyahu, the BB Crazies, I'm not sure, but

00:46:19.520 I think that's spelled wrong, are running the show unchecked and will effectively turn Gaza 1.00

00:46:27.120 and the Left Bank into starvation camps or mental asylums, if not already, and bomb Iran into 0.99

00:46:37.060 submission.

00:46:37.720 There will be a religious term for this.

00:46:40.980 I think the evangelicals call it the rapture.

00:46:46.060 561 retweets, 2,402 likes, and that's when we took the screenshots, probably more.

00:46:50.280 Can you hold that up there?

00:46:51.440 Because there's just, there's so much, every word here is a goddamn masterpiece.

00:46:57.380 You know, Winston, did you know Winston Churchill?

00:46:59.080 Was it the Nobel Prize for literature that he won for his biography, his autobiography, really,

00:47:08.000 his history?

00:47:09.300 This could win a Pulitzer.

00:47:11.960 Now the BB Crazies are running the show. 0.93

00:47:14.460 Yeah, actually, Benjamin Netanyahu's been the Prime Minister of Israel for a little while.

00:47:17.800 He's unchecked.

00:47:18.680 Well, actually, it's democracy with an opposition and an extremely aggressive media.

00:47:23.940 Well, effectively turn Gaza and the Left Bank into starvation camp. 0.74

00:47:27.780 Well, Gaza is no longer part of Israel.

00:47:29.820 I don't know if Chelsea missed that part, but I think it was 2005 that Israel unilaterally

00:47:35.020 abandoned Gaza to its people, and it was immediately seized by Hamas.

00:47:40.540 So Israel does not have any soldiers or police in Gaza.

00:47:44.020 It has no customs officials.

00:47:45.780 It has no bureaucrats.

00:47:46.900 It has no citizens.

00:47:48.220 It is a Jew-free zone, Judenrein in the original German. 0.98

00:47:52.660 So it is what it is because of its Hamas rulers. 0.93

00:47:58.240 Left Bank is possibly my favoritest part of this tweet.

00:48:02.360 Left Bank is what they call the fancy part of Paris, the left bank of the Seine River.

00:48:09.680 In Israel, I think she means the West Bank, the West Bank.

00:48:15.940 But other than those little facts, I'm sure she is a masterful command of the situation.

00:48:23.040 She thinks the evangelicals call it rapture.

00:48:25.840 Could be, but just like my criticisms of people who really think the Handmaid's Tale is where

00:48:31.640 it's at.

00:48:33.440 I think the religious term that's probably more appropriate to what's going on there is

00:48:36.660 not the rapture, but the jihad.

00:48:39.860 Because neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Hamas are Christian.

00:48:43.360 He's a Jew, and they're Muslims.

00:48:45.220 I saw a great tweet today that said, if Hamas threw all their weapons into the sea, the result 0.67

00:48:51.080 would be peace.

00:48:52.320 If Israel threw all its weapons into the sea, the result would be genocide.

00:48:55.420 I think that's accurate.

00:48:56.080 I see another super chat comment.

00:48:58.060 Let me read it.

00:48:59.520 There we go.

00:49:03.800 V6, $3.99, just because I love you, Ezra.

00:49:06.020 Well, that's very nice of you.

00:49:07.260 That's very nice for you to say.

00:49:09.000 I think I might have missed one.

00:49:10.120 Let me check my notes here.

00:49:14.300 VM Parliament, will you give Wynn the mobile billboard treatment?

00:49:18.280 Hey, I like the way you think.

00:49:21.660 Do you recall that we put a billboard outside her office?

00:49:26.260 Can I ask, Hannah, can you dig up this short video of me revealing the billboard?

00:49:33.540 We put it right up outside of her constituency office.

00:49:38.000 It's about a 90-second clip, and I just want to show it to you.

00:49:42.540 You know, I almost forgot about that, and we did it.

00:49:46.180 You know, if you go to buy billboards, they have a detailed map, and you can choose precisely

00:49:52.180 the location you want.

00:49:54.980 And let me show you.

00:49:56.880 I think it's a 90-second video.

00:49:58.080 Take a look.

00:49:58.480 This is what we did a couple years ago.

00:49:59.560 Take a look.

00:50:00.560 Levan from the Rebel.media.

00:50:01.880 As you can see, I'm standing on the street, 795 Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto, and look

00:50:06.860 behind me.

00:50:07.400 You can see that's the address of the constituency office of Kathleen Wynne, the atrocious Premier

00:50:13.840 of Ontario.

00:50:14.540 Well, the reason I'm here is because, look, just over there, just across the street and

00:50:19.040 up is a billboard that we bought for our FireWynne.ca campaign.

00:50:26.520 It couldn't be clearer.

00:50:28.040 Stop the corruption.

00:50:29.240 Stop the lies.

00:50:30.220 And that was crowdfunded by you, our loyal viewers, staring down at the Premier, staring

00:50:37.640 down at all her little workers and busy beavers who are destroying Ontario, telling them that 0.86

00:50:43.300 we are coming to fire her. 0.61

00:50:46.740 Well, what do you think?

00:50:47.800 If you support our campaign to fire Wynne, help us continue to have this billboard and

00:50:53.880 others like it around the city.

00:50:55.500 You can also get your own mini billboard.

00:50:57.740 What I mean by that is your own long sign that says FireWyn.

00:51:01.700 We also have T-shirts and bumper stickers, too.

00:51:05.220 That's all at FireWyn.ca.

00:51:06.960 I wanted to show you that billboard because I'm so proud of it.

00:51:10.540 But really, it's you who did it.

00:51:13.540 Thank you.

00:51:14.400 From 795 Eglinton Avenue East in Toronto, I'm Ezra Levant for the Rebel.media.

00:51:19.800 Well, thank you for the reminder that, you know, we've done so many shenanigans like

00:51:26.980 that over the years.

00:51:27.980 I actually forgot about that.

00:51:29.320 And we gave out hundreds of those FireWyn lawn signs.

00:51:34.280 And I think we're going to have some to give out at the Rebel Live event in Toronto.

00:51:39.520 Let me just check.

00:51:40.440 Let me check the clock.

00:51:41.280 It's 1253.

00:51:41.840 Speaking of the Ontario election, let me show you a clip.

00:51:47.680 And it's very, very, very quick.

00:51:49.280 It's just a few seconds long.

00:51:51.480 Doug Ford was at a rally.

00:51:53.540 And what do you do when you have Kathleen Wynne as your premier? 0.93

00:51:57.060 And some of her staff are convicted of crimes.

00:52:00.460 And then there's things that are not crimes, but they're just awful scandals, ethical breaches,

00:52:05.380 financial corruption and mismanagement.

00:52:07.220 Well, you chant, lock her up. 1.00

00:52:09.420 And maybe you half mean it, or maybe you're joking.

00:52:11.380 Maybe you're paying an homage to the chants at the Donald Trump rallies.

00:52:14.520 Take a look at this.

00:52:16.060 Okay, so once.

00:52:19.740 Okay, so once.

00:52:24.420 Okay, so once.

00:52:27.760 Okay, so once.

00:52:31.920 I don't know if you heard that, but there was a chant, lock her up. 0.96

00:52:34.960 Lock her up. 0.91

00:52:35.820 You know, that's how people talk when they're unemployed or when they're overtaxed or when

00:52:40.500 they're paying electricity bills that are literally the highest in the continental North America.

00:52:45.360 That's how people talk when they're sick of being scolded by the premier on everything

00:52:51.560 from their carbon footprint to the fact that they resist an extreme sex ed curriculum drafted

00:52:58.540 by a convicted child pornographer in the case of Ben Levin.

00:53:01.920 That's how people talk sometimes.

00:53:03.100 They blow off steam.

00:53:03.760 They have a little bit of fun.

00:53:04.620 And you know what?

00:53:05.620 Even if it goes a little far rhetorically, that's part of freedom.

00:53:09.660 I remember when that same chant was said in Alberta 16 months ago or so at our anti-carbon

00:53:15.740 tax rally.

00:53:16.700 And the mainstream media pounced as if that was some horrific crime.

00:53:20.840 And timid conservatives threw unemployed Alberta oil men under the bus.

00:53:27.280 Oh, you're not protesting the government politely enough.

00:53:30.620 And when I saw that yesterday, I thought, oh, good for Doug.

00:53:33.920 Good for Doug.

00:53:34.940 He won't throw those protesters under the bus.

00:53:37.620 He won't kowtow to the mainstream media.

00:53:39.020 I was very disappointed to learn that Doug Ford did indeed later admonish that person for saying

00:53:45.840 that.

00:53:46.120 Look, the Fords, the late Rob Ford and Doug Ford are all about having some fun and not being

00:53:54.200 word police and not scolding people for being exuberant.

00:53:58.100 And most of all, not bending the knee to the mainstream media, which really just acts as

00:54:05.400 enforcers for the social justice left.

00:54:08.380 Whether it's the ideologies that you can't say that, you can't say that, you can't say

00:54:12.160 that, or you're an Islamophobic transphobe, or actually the parties of the left.

00:54:16.700 And I think that's one of the secrets to understanding Donald Trump's success, is that whatever his

00:54:22.720 negatives are, let's say half of people find him unfavorable, the media's negatives are far

00:54:29.380 higher.

00:54:30.480 Most people despise the media, and with good reason.

00:54:33.760 So when Donald Trump punches back at journalists, not physically, of course, he doesn't punch them

00:54:39.620 or lock them up, but when he rhetorically disrespects them, there's an enormous built-up

00:54:45.980 momentum of Americans saying, you're damn right, it's about time someone took those pompous

00:54:52.240 TV talking heads down a peg.

00:54:54.660 And that's one of the reasons why people loved Rob Ford in his day, and why I think they

00:55:00.660 liked Doug Ford.

00:55:01.760 Hannah, I have one more request of you, if you don't mind.

00:55:03.660 Can you dig up the audio of the late Rob Ford when he was phoned by Carol Off of the CBC

00:55:15.640 Radio?

00:55:16.180 And I want to show you the proper way to treat a left-wing journalist.

00:55:20.520 Carol Off isn't just a left-wing journalist. 1.00

00:55:22.800 She's a Marxist.

00:55:24.460 I don't say that as an insult, I say that as an observation.

00:55:27.840 And she has a show on Canada's state broadcaster, the CBC.

00:55:32.460 And she was phoning up Rob Ford.

00:55:34.400 She despised Rob Ford.

00:55:35.780 Rob knew it, but he's friendly enough, so he took the call.

00:55:37.680 And she had some very important questions to ask on behalf of the state broadcaster.

00:55:41.980 Well, the late Rob Ford had something more important to do.

00:55:44.220 He was coaching football, a volunteer coach in a low-income community, as he always did.

00:55:50.640 And so he answered the phone for this radio interview on his cell phone while he was out

00:55:55.780 in the field coaching.

00:55:56.620 What would you do?

00:55:57.400 Would you say to a bunch of young kids who love football, it's their favorite thing, it's

00:56:02.820 maybe the only positive thing they're doing for recreation, and some socialist from the

00:56:08.200 state broadcaster wants to harp at you on the phone, would you really say, sorry, kids,

00:56:11.960 I have to go talk to some Marxists from the state broadcaster?

00:56:14.600 Or would you say, all right, would you holler out coaching instructions while you're on the

00:56:18.640 phone?

00:56:18.920 Well, I'll tell you what Rob Ford did, and I have to say, it's probably the most beautiful

00:56:24.720 thing I've ever seen.

00:56:27.200 Are you still looking for it over there?

00:56:30.400 We'll see if we can dig it up.

00:56:31.980 If we can't find it today, we'll find it tomorrow, because it's already 1258.

00:56:37.040 You know what, I'm just throwing this on my team, springing it on them.

00:56:42.240 What's the name of that show?

00:56:44.180 As It Happens?

00:56:45.160 If we can't find it today, I promise I'll show it to you tomorrow, because it's, here's

00:56:51.200 my point, I mean, we're almost out of time anyways.

00:56:53.740 My point is, when a snooty, scoldy, sneering, condescending, moralizing, self-righteous

00:57:02.920 media snob, but then again, I repeat myself, comes to condemn you for being a conservative,

00:57:10.960 for telling a joke, lock her up, for using a phrase that's not politically

00:57:15.120 correct enough.

00:57:16.280 Maybe you say mankind instead of people kind.

00:57:19.440 The answer is not to bend the knee and say, oh, I'm sorry, and I disavow.

00:57:23.940 I disavow that ruffian who said, lock her up. 1.00

00:57:27.000 The answer is probably not my instinct, which is to cuss.

00:57:31.800 The answer is to say, well, no thanks, we're a free country, and you have one point of view

00:57:37.040 of the state broadcaster, and the people have a different point of view.

00:57:40.260 And that's what made Rob Ford great, and I think that's one of the things that people

00:57:44.820 hope for in Doug Ford, and I sure hope he doesn't have that drummed out of him.

00:57:51.140 You know what, folks?

00:57:52.240 It's almost one o'clock.

00:57:53.500 We can't find that last clip, and I'm sorry I threw that on our production team last minute.

00:57:57.660 We'll have it for tomorrow, but I will play it for you, because it was gorgeous.

00:58:01.560 Let me wrap up by telling you what we're doing.

00:58:07.100 Every weekday we do this 12 noon to 1 p.m. Eastern.

00:58:11.020 I try and take your comments.

00:58:12.340 I was a little rambly today.

00:58:13.840 I was a little rambly today.

00:58:14.780 I apologize.

00:58:15.740 I didn't even get through.

00:58:16.920 I did just barely get through all the clips I had.

00:58:19.700 You can help us out by chipping in through the Super Chat a few bucks here and there.

00:58:24.360 We're going to expand it to Periscope, Twitter, Facebook simultaneously.

00:58:28.700 We've got over 500 folks watching right now, which ain't bad.

00:58:31.320 It's getting up there.

00:58:32.740 Ali, we are going to look into your question about getting the notifications fixed.

00:58:36.820 And this is just basically what I do with, like, I'm like a cruise ship.

00:58:39.800 I have two sittings for lunch, so I'm going to skip one lunch a day.

00:58:43.300 I'll do this instead.

00:58:44.940 It's a good way to hear what folks are interested in, and I want to build this up a bit.

00:58:48.560 So someone who said, how much money are you going to make on this?

00:58:50.640 Well, that's, you know, I'd like to make some money because we've got to pay the bills around here,

00:58:53.300 and we don't get government money, and it's voluntary.

00:58:55.520 You don't have to pay money to make a comment.

00:58:57.080 Yeah, but I'd like to build it up.

00:58:58.980 You know, we've got 500 people watching right now.

00:59:00.800 It's pretty respectable.

00:59:02.400 Of course, this will be on YouTube for people to watch later.

00:59:06.040 So, yeah, we're getting there.

00:59:07.260 And I appreciate your good advice and your great questions.

00:59:09.740 Lots of good advice today about the store and bumper stickers.

00:59:12.920 Good questions about notifications and subscriptions.

00:59:17.360 We'll look into that.

00:59:18.540 And I should wrap up now because it's already 101.

00:59:20.620 I'll have that Rob Ford video for tomorrow just for viewers who tune in again.

00:59:24.160 It's just a great, great, great video.

00:59:25.820 I love it so much.

00:59:27.500 Until tonight at 8 p.m., where my paywall shows up, and tomorrow again at 12 noon,

00:59:32.640 on behalf of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, goodbye.

00:59:36.640 Bye, and keep fighting for freedom.
