Well, hello, hello, it's July 11th, I'm Ezra Levant, and you're watching Battleground.
00:00:12.340
I won't lie, I'm excited, I have a new phone ringtone.
00:00:16.880
I know I've got other more serious things to talk about, but one of our viewers said,
00:00:29.160
And you know what? You can get it from our website too.
00:00:35.560
Tell me if you can hear this, I'm going to make it nice and loud.
00:00:50.600
And you can get it for free at TommyRingtone.com.
00:00:57.360
You know what, I think we need better instructions, because it's sort of tricky to put a free ringtone on your phone.
00:01:04.420
It's amazing how iTunes or Apple and Android really try to push you to buy a paid ringtone from their store.
00:01:13.300
So you've got to, it took me about five minutes to do it.
00:01:16.040
I had to put it on my iTunes, and then I had to import it to my phone, so it was, you know, I was a little bit challenged.
00:01:24.100
But if I could do it, and I'm like almost 80, I think the youngins can do it.
00:01:29.900
And you can get your free Tommy ringtone at TommyRingtone.com.
00:01:38.460
Where else would you look for your Tommy Robinson ringtone?
00:01:53.020
I've had some conversations in the last few days with Tommy's lawyers and Tommy's family.
00:02:03.220
We'll have some more news on that perhaps as soon as this week.
00:02:07.960
And I'm starting to feel a tiny bit optimistic about things.
00:02:13.760
And so that ringtone just puts me in good spirits.
00:02:21.420
It's, you know, and some people will say, who's that?
00:02:29.820
Yesterday we went on at some length, and by we, I mean me, went on at some length about
00:02:38.920
Yeah, we got about 600 little websites here at The Rebel, in case you didn't know.
00:02:56.200
And we sold out yesterday, and we sort of rejigged it.
00:02:59.380
And I think we moved the shipping prices down because they were a little bit high.
00:03:03.620
We had miscalculated the weight of the shirt, and that automatically meant shipping was expensive.
00:03:08.840
So I tell you, I tell you, you can represent out there.
00:03:17.500
You got, you know, everyone's into this soccer game, or as the Europeans call it, football.
00:03:22.160
But folks like you and me, we can show our pride and our clan with our Tommy Ringtone, that's free, or our Grope shirt.
00:03:33.020
Well, every day at 12 noon Eastern time, I spend an hour kibitzing, showing some videos, chatting, and taking your comments.
00:03:43.800
You can chip in $5 or $10 or whatever, and your comment is put in a bright color.
00:03:50.900
And so I see it out of the corner of my eye, and I read it.
00:03:53.640
And it's pinned, it's affixed to the top of that little box there, proportionate to how much you chip in.
00:04:05.220
And the good news is I think we get 70% of that dough.
00:04:11.140
I'm going to read a couple of comments, and then I want to show you the news of the day.
00:04:16.440
I tell you, it's that Donald Trump, and he is, he's just so blunt.
00:04:27.320
But a lot of the times it's like the kid who says the emperor has no clothes.
00:04:32.900
And everyone knows it's true, and everyone was dancing around it for years or decades.
00:04:37.800
And here comes Donald Trump, and he does something undiplomatic, and he just sort of says what everyone was thinking.
00:04:43.000
And he did that today at NATO, where he was calling out NATO allies, especially Germany.
00:04:53.600
And in fact, I want to, I'll read the comments later.
00:04:57.280
I'll come back to comments, I promise you that.
00:05:01.100
But I just got to show you Trump meeting with the NATO Secretary General.
00:05:05.980
Let me just give you a little bit of background.
00:05:07.440
So NATO, what's it, I think 29 countries, as Lord Ismay, the first Secretary General, said,
00:05:15.300
the whole purpose of NATO was keep the Germans down, the Russians out, and the Americans in.
00:05:30.040
America's spending almost 4% of its GDP on military.
00:05:33.920
And America doesn't expect the rest of the world to spend that much.
00:05:38.300
But it expects the world to, the other NATO countries, to spend 2% of their GDP, which they've all agreed to.
00:05:47.220
This is NATO having agreed to this for many years now.
00:05:51.080
And I think only one other NATO country meets the 2% threshold, and that's the United Kingdom.
00:05:57.240
And Canada, I should tell you, is actually regressing.
00:06:00.720
Right now we pay about 1.3% of our GDP to the military.
00:06:04.700
And next year, or this year under Trudeau, that's expected to fall to 1.2%.
00:06:11.580
So the Secretary General of NATO is a Norwegian.
00:06:26.320
So he actually is bloody grateful that the American president is making a fuss.
00:06:34.220
I mean, he's, you know, he's a Labor Party Norwegian, so he's probably pretty liberal.
00:06:41.880
And I watched the entire 8-minute clip that the White House posted.
00:06:47.140
And this Jan Stoltenberg, he was thrilled with Trump, by the way.
00:06:53.440
It was only the liberal alt-left media that were shocked, shocked.
00:06:59.460
So without further to do, I think we've got about, what is it, about 2 minutes and 20 seconds?
00:07:06.740
Now, there's a chance I might stop it if I get too excited.
00:07:16.600
And the part where Trump is scolding Germany, I think it's like 3 1⁄2 minutes.
00:07:22.680
And we're not going to show it all because it's too long.
00:07:26.000
But you see, okay, seated next to him is the UN, sorry, the American ambassador to NATO.
00:07:31.920
And then to her right is Trump's chief of staff, General Kelly.
00:07:36.060
And to Trump's left is Secretary Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State.
00:07:42.380
You've got Trump, you've got Trump's ambassador to NATO.
00:07:53.740
And Kelly and Pompeo, and Pompeo, he was at West Point.
00:08:06.020
They start squirming because Trump is so tough.
00:08:14.360
He raises it once, and then again, and then again, and then again.
00:08:19.000
And you can see General Kelly just sort of shifting in his seat a little bit.
00:08:29.740
These guys, I mean, I don't know how else you sell it.
00:08:34.300
The General Kelly, I think he's a former Marine.
00:08:41.400
And they were squirming because Trump was so relentless.
00:08:46.660
So without further to do, here, take a look at Donald Trump at the NATO meeting today.
00:08:50.880
It's very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia,
00:08:57.620
where you're supposed to be guarding against Russia,
00:09:00.460
and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia.
00:09:10.020
And then numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with Russia,
00:09:15.360
where they're paying billions of dollars into the coffers of Russia.
00:09:20.040
So we're supposed to protect you against Russia,
00:09:22.580
but they're paying billions of dollars to Russia.
00:09:26.820
And the former chancellor of Germany is the head of the pipeline company that's supplying the gas.
00:09:32.000
Ultimately, Germany will have almost 70 percent of their country controlled by Russia with natural gas.
00:09:44.060
I mean, I've been complaining about this from the time I got in.
00:09:47.600
It should have never been allowed to have happened.
00:09:52.340
because they will be getting from 60 to 70 percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline.
00:09:58.520
And you tell me if that's appropriate, because I think it's not.
00:10:02.120
And I think it's a very bad thing for NATO, and I don't think it should have happened.
00:10:06.400
And I think we have to talk to Germany about it.
00:10:08.500
On top of that, Germany is just paying a little bit over 1 percent,
00:10:12.840
whereas the United States, in actual numbers, is paying 4.2 percent of a much larger GDP.
00:10:25.940
And yet we're paying a lot of money to protect.
00:10:33.080
but other presidents never did anything about it,
00:10:35.680
because I don't think they understood it or they just didn't want to get involved.
00:10:39.540
But I have to bring it up, because I think it's very unfair to our country.
00:10:45.020
And I think that these countries have to step it up,
00:10:51.980
They talk about they're going to increase it a tiny bit by 2030.
00:10:56.320
Well, they could increase it immediately tomorrow and have no problem.
00:11:03.880
So we're going to have to do something because we're not going to put up with it.
00:11:10.220
That felt like it went on for a long time, didn't it?
00:11:24.540
thanks to your leadership, things are coming along.
00:11:28.940
He was the medium for this criticism to flow to the other,
00:11:37.400
He's actually trying to do what Trump's trying to do.
00:11:45.180
because I take about 20 minutes to go through this.
00:11:49.020
There's this moment where that Jan Stoltenberg,
00:11:56.340
We're really ramping up more spending than in a generation.
00:12:01.080
And Stoltenberg says, well, it's because you're pressing everyone.
00:12:05.220
And then Trump turns to the cameras and you say,
00:12:11.160
The media is not reporting that the growth in spending,
00:12:14.400
whatever there is, is, according to NATO Secretary General,
00:12:20.880
And look, it's similar to the argument Trump makes to Canada
00:12:43.920
No, we're not bringing in Chinese steel and dumping it in the States.
00:12:49.440
So you can like or dislike what Trump is saying,
00:12:54.780
Trump goes on at great length about how Germany is paying Russia for natural gas.
00:13:03.480
And that's something Ronald Reagan warned against.
00:13:17.040
they literally get 100% of their energy from Russia.
00:13:19.400
How are you going to have an independent foreign policy, national policy,
00:13:23.660
any policy if you're 100% dependent on Russia for your energy?
00:13:29.020
but at least on three occasions that I know of,
00:13:31.860
Russia simply turned off the natural gas pipes to Ukraine.
00:13:38.580
That's what happens when you're buying gas from an authoritarian regime
00:13:53.100
capitalists, they'll sell the rope that they will be hanged by.
00:14:07.600
sorry, Canada sells one million more cars to the United States
00:14:12.500
So if Canada does not want to ameliorate the problems Trump is alluding to,
00:14:19.440
Trump will just slap a 20% tariff on Canadian cars and destroy the industry.
00:14:24.680
but can you say that Trump is wrong when he points out our dairy cartel
00:14:28.580
and he points out we sell a million more cars to America than they sell to us?
00:14:34.420
you can dislike what Trump is saying about the shirkers in NATO,
00:14:42.900
this year we won't even be in the top 10 countries ranked by GDP.
00:14:46.480
America's not looking for Canada to spend an absolute amount as big as America.
00:14:54.600
So tiny Luxembourg doesn't have to spend billions,
00:15:05.500
hey Germany, we're actually here to protect you
00:15:08.440
and our military bases in Germany pour billions of dollars a year into your economy
00:15:18.300
Alex, did you get that website I sent you about broomsticks?
00:15:30.300
that it used broomsticks instead of machine guns.
00:15:47.060
The German army has faced a shortage of equipment for years,
00:15:51.200
but the situation has recently become so precarious
00:15:54.160
that some soldiers took matters into their own hands.
00:15:59.640
that German soldiers tried to hide the lack of arms
00:16:02.600
by replacing heavy machine guns with broomsticks
00:16:11.200
the German soldiers swiftly attached them to the top of armored vehicles,
00:16:25.840
said the broomsticks was not a common practice.
00:16:32.040
And the decision of the involved soldiers was hard to comprehend.
00:16:36.480
Yeah, no, it's actually not hard to comprehend.
00:16:42.020
a black broomstick at least looks like something.
00:16:54.220
that was actually, I think, from a couple years back,
00:17:03.040
with, God forbid, Vladimir Putin or anyone else, really?
00:17:13.500
about Trudeau demanding soldiers return extra sleeping bags?
00:17:24.240
painted black, to pretend they have machine guns,
00:17:35.560
you have to add rat-a-tat sounds and explosion sounds.
00:17:42.940
Soldiers ordered to return sleeping bags and rucksacks
00:17:48.000
The Canadian Armed Forces has ordered its members
00:18:04.540
Now, they say that they need them for other soldiers.
00:18:06.880
I actually believe they're being given to migrants.
00:18:15.960
So America's spending almost 4% of its GDP on the military,
00:18:23.640
And I don't even think Trump's griping about the 4%.
00:19:22.120
I'm not going to go too much longer on this today,
00:19:28.700
I have Justin Trudeau doing one of his bobblehead speak to cameras
00:19:34.260
we're going to really increase our operations in Iraq
00:19:42.380
Actually, Trudeau withdrew our six CF-18 fighter jets
00:19:51.460
So the heavy lifting was done by America and the UK
00:20:09.800
So maybe they could borrow some German broomsticks or something.
00:20:19.560
called Ethical Oil, The Case for Canada's Oil Sands,
00:20:21.960
and then I wrote another book called Groundswell,
00:20:25.480
And they don't have oil sands in Germany that I know of,
00:20:48.700
I've seen you can just actually burn the rocks.
00:20:51.980
It's really dirty because it's like an oily rock,
00:21:04.780
well, how do you get those tiny little droplets of oil or gas out of the shale?
00:21:12.100
And then fracking was this technological breakthrough that you cracked.
00:21:29.800
You know there's juice in an apple, but it's in tiny little pores, right?
00:21:36.760
So fracking breaks those tiny little cells, and then the juice comes out.
00:21:51.200
Because Europe has billions of cubic meters of natural gas in Western Europe.
00:21:58.820
But they've all brought in, or France and Germany at least, have brought in bans on fracking their own gas, including Germany, which is banned years into the future.
00:22:17.540
That's one of the things that Trump was mad about.
00:22:19.680
Not only does Germany shirk, but it's buying its natural gas from Russia.
00:22:31.400
I'm going to almost stop talking about this now because I go on at such length tonight at the 8 p.m. show.
00:22:35.960
But Gerhard Schroeder, the former chancellor of Germany, actually works for the Russian state strategic industry.
00:22:49.060
I think it's Reznieft, which, you know, it's an energy company.
00:23:02.360
It would be like the head of, it would be like, I don't know, if Barack Obama or George W. Bush or Bill Clinton went to work for Iran in their retirement.
00:23:23.780
I saw a super chat, so I'm going to go to that.
00:23:34.240
Yeah, you know, that's what's so funny is, and could I get the Obama Medvedev hot mic sound on tape, please, Hannah?
00:23:44.560
Everyone's saying Trump is such a Russian agent.
00:23:48.240
And there was Trump calling out Angela Merkel for not only not spending enough to defend against Russia, but for buying energy from Russia.
00:24:01.180
So if Germany were to do what Trump said, not only would she cut off, not only would Angela Merkel cut off money to Russia, but they would be energy self-sufficient and they would spend a lot more money on the military.
00:24:17.300
So Trump's, in two ways, Trump is, can I, okay, in two ways, Trump is anti-Putin, right?
00:24:26.680
He wants a stronger military and he wants Germany to stop buying energy from them.
00:24:56.060
Some of the words were obscured by a little YouTube ad at the bottom there.
00:24:59.220
But that was Obama and Medvedev, who was the, like the number two to Putin at the time.
00:25:09.960
And, you know, you wear a microphone on your lapel.
00:25:13.260
So Obama leans forward to Medvedev and says, tell Vladimir that I'll have more flexibility after I'm elected.
00:25:25.920
And Obama's saying to Medvedev, look, you'll get it, man.
00:25:30.040
Just wait till I'm re-elected because I don't want to appear to be soft on Russia now.
00:25:35.300
And Medvedev says, I will transmit the information to Vladimir.
00:25:40.560
It's so short and it's so much fun to hear that Russian accent.
00:25:53.140
I transmit this information to Vladimir and Vladimir.
00:26:20.580
Is Angela Merkel and Gerhard Schrader colluding or is Donald Trump colluding?
00:26:24.300
Is Hillary Clinton, who arranged and approved the sale of 20% of American uranium to a Russian entity,
00:26:33.060
was she colluding or is Donald Trump colluding?
00:26:36.480
If you listen to the mainstream media, Donald Trump is colluding.
00:26:39.600
What I saw Donald Trump say in Latvia today to the NATO boss was about the most hostile thing
00:26:47.300
a president has said towards Russia, if that's colluding.
00:26:54.980
Tom Young, John, you claim fracking does not pollute water tables.
00:27:01.340
I've actually been on frack jobs in Pennsylvania.
00:27:09.240
I have read exhaustive literature from the EPA, the world's largest and most aggressive environmental agency.
00:27:19.620
And fracking does not pollute the water table because fracking happens far, far, far, far lower than the water table.
00:27:26.940
The water table that we drink our water from is typically 50 to, let's say, 300 feet deep.
00:27:37.340
And there has never been a recorded case of fracking polluting drinking water.
00:27:43.200
You'd think there would be because there have been literally millions of frack jobs completed.
00:27:48.880
In Canada, about 90% of all oil and gas other than the oil sands is fracked.
00:27:53.800
In my home province of Alberta, a quarter million fracks have happened.
00:28:03.360
In fact, can we call up the Anders Fogh Rasmussen Russia clip that goes to this?
00:28:10.880
Because I talked about Jans Stoltenberg, the current Norwegian boss of NATO.
00:28:18.940
But a few years back, it was a Dane named Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
00:28:28.560
This was before the whole Russia collusion mania.
00:28:30.820
He was asked if he had any evidence that Russia was colonizing Western environmental organizations
00:28:44.360
to get them to suppress energy independence in especially Europe.
00:28:53.600
There's some states that have boycotted it, but Pennsylvania, Texas, there's a ton of fracking.
00:29:00.240
But it's important that Germany, Poland, France not frack, right?
00:29:06.200
If you're Russia, you're not selling natural gas to America.
00:29:08.940
If you're Russia, you're selling natural gas to Europe.
00:29:11.000
And which would be a more effective opponent of fracking in Europe?
00:29:19.440
Would it be Vladimir Putin standing up and saying,
00:29:22.940
Hey, guys, don't frack. I want to sell you my gas from Gazprom.
00:29:30.140
Well, here's what Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a former Secretary General of NATO, had to say.
00:29:41.000
We're finding the clip, and we'll have it for you when we find it.
00:29:45.720
I'm going to see if I've missed any more Super Chats.
00:29:54.420
According to Politico, a private Israeli intelligence service has kicked George Soros' NGOs out of Hungary
00:29:59.340
and helped keep the anti-immigration president, Viktor Orban, in power.
00:30:06.200
I have not seen that story, but I am very interested in that story
00:30:10.180
because I focus on George Soros and his nefarious activities quite a bit.
00:30:16.940
You may recall that about a dozen, about six years ago, I was threatened with a lawsuit by George Soros.
00:30:31.200
As part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations,
00:30:39.300
engage actively with so-called non-governmental organizations,
00:30:44.520
environmental organizations working against shale gas,
00:30:49.780
obviously, to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas.
00:31:01.340
So it just adds a new aspect to this information operation.
00:31:15.060
That's Sanders Fogh Rasmussen saying that in his assessment,
00:31:19.800
the information that he had at his fingertips from the NATO armies
00:31:23.520
is that Vladimir Putin colonized environmental groups in Europe
00:31:28.580
to make them fight against European energy independence.
00:31:36.760
That was before the current anti-Putin collusion mania.
00:31:40.480
These days, when I hear people say, Russia, Russia, Russia,
00:31:43.140
I dismiss it 90% of the time because I think, shut up already.
00:31:48.020
You know, your whole narrative that Trump was a Putin agent,
00:31:51.140
you've been trying that now for almost two years and you have no proof.
00:32:01.880
That doesn't mean Putin isn't trying to undermine the West.
00:32:07.360
And what I'm showing you there in that video from Anders Fogh Rasmussen
00:32:10.940
is that according to the former NATO secretary general,
00:32:15.500
Putin has infiltrated and co-opted Western environmental groups
00:32:22.380
Let me ask you, I mean, there's three countries in the world
00:32:25.520
that are virtually tied for the largest production of oil.
00:32:30.960
There's about 100 million barrels a day of oil produced.
00:32:37.560
And there are three countries that produce approximately 10 million barrels each.
00:32:51.360
and they have the ability to expand and contract.
00:32:54.020
America is now at the 10 million barrel a day range.
00:33:06.040
So why is it that environmental extremist groups,
00:33:16.660
But with only one exception that I can think of,
00:33:28.940
Keystone XL pipelines shut down the oil sands from Canada.
00:33:33.780
Other than the one occasion Greenpeace foolishly,
00:33:36.620
I say foolishly because it was actually the only principled thing they ever did.
00:33:49.980
And they were held in prison for a long time until they were finally released.
00:33:56.940
So other than that one exception, Greenpeace just doesn't go after Russia, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria,
00:34:04.600
Venezuela, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain,
00:34:08.640
any of those really, really crappy oil countries.
00:34:25.920
My friends in the production, very, very high tech production area,
00:34:36.680
So I've got to find those super chats right now.
00:34:41.160
Tom Youngjohn, make America great again equals economic nationalism and reality TV.
00:34:53.060
I see today that the Atlanta Federal Reserve estimates the U.S. GDP growth to be around 4%.
00:35:19.000
Now, you see stories about companies complaining about a tight labor market,
00:35:25.720
And if your interests are those of the Facebooks and the Googles and the, I guess, the vegetable picker companies,
00:35:35.480
That's why you wanted open borders, because you wanted illegal immigrants to pick your, you know, oranges and to pick your, you know, tomatoes for like three bucks an hour.
00:35:46.400
So if you really, if that's where your interests lie, if you believe in driving down wages and driving up rents, then you want open borders.
00:35:56.180
But that's a very small percentage of the population.
00:36:02.020
So let's say you benefit because when you buy, let's say, a pack of tomatoes, you save a dime, if that.
00:36:09.820
But if you crack down on illegal immigration, if you build the wall, if you make America great again, if you stimulate the economy and wages rise for working people,
00:36:20.980
and if you pull people back into the labor market who were unemployed in a long-term way,
00:36:26.300
not only are you solving a lot of social ills, the best social program is a job.
00:36:31.520
So you're pulling people at the low ends of the demographic and economic ladder back into work.
00:36:39.760
So someone who was on welfare or just bumming around or signed off a life, now they got a job,
00:36:45.520
and maybe they're making 10 bucks an hour U.S., and maybe that's not a ton of dough,
00:36:49.200
but now they got a reason to get up in the morning, they got a sense of accomplishment, they're part of society, they're being socialized.
00:36:58.940
And, yeah, so maybe you're spending 10 cents more on your pack of tomatoes.
00:37:07.900
Now you have Americans employed, and I wish we did that in Canada.
00:37:12.520
Instead, we have all these temporary foreign workers programs,
00:37:15.880
and we bring in foreign workers to pay them less than we pay Canadians.
00:37:20.060
There's 7 billion people in the world, and probably about half of them would love to come to Canada and work for pennies.
00:37:25.300
And, yeah, maybe that makes your Tim Hortons coffee 5 cents cheaper because they're hiring foreign workers.
00:37:35.940
And, by the way, I think young people should get a job.
00:37:40.040
And I think we have to make getting a job cool again.
00:37:44.800
And, yeah, start at the bottom rung of the job.
00:37:47.160
There should be no job that you say, oh, that's beneath me.
00:38:00.120
Ann Bam says, huge march on the 13th and 14th of July.
00:38:03.980
July will be in London, Whitehall, and also in Ireland.
00:38:08.040
There will be a march I'm aware of on July 14th.
00:38:19.660
And I won't be there myself, but I will be attending the appeal because I want to do some journalism from there.
00:38:28.200
Happy Infidel Fox says, I hope Trump crushes the groper.
00:38:31.140
You're referring to our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:38:33.100
I might hope that Trump crushes the groper, but I don't want Trump to crush Canada.
00:38:39.040
When Trump fires back at Trudeau through auto tariffs, that's going to hurt Canada.
00:38:43.960
It's not actually going to hurt Trudeau at all.
00:38:53.600
Viking Insane says, what did Viola Desmond achieve to replace Sir John A. Macdonald on our $10 bill?
00:38:59.320
You know, I've seen a little bit of hubbub about that.
00:39:03.860
But I mean, John A. Macdonald, I mean, who's he, right?
00:39:06.140
I mean, all he did was found a country, and he's some dead white male.
00:39:13.040
Now, I don't know if you saw it, because I don't know if everyone was logged in there.
00:39:17.840
Did I tell you that we got our Tommy ringtones?
00:39:21.020
I know I'm repeating this for folks who were on the show 40 minutes ago, but can we put that website up again?
00:39:27.160
If you go to TommyRingtone.com, we got a free Tommy Robinson ringtone, and no one's calling me right now, and that's fine.
00:39:42.460
I'm going to hold this right next to my microphone.
00:40:01.220
I downloaded that from TommyRingtone.com, and I figured out all by myself how to make that my ringtone.
00:40:07.760
I'm joking a little bit, because iPhone, and I think Android's probably the same, make it a little bit tricky for you to upload your own songs,
00:40:15.200
because they really want to force you to buy a ringtone.
00:40:19.840
Just go to our site, log in with your email, get it for free.
00:40:38.320
I want to talk about a Trump video that I meant to show you yesterday, but we didn't.
00:40:44.860
And this goes to the bluntness of Donald Trump.
00:40:51.180
I mean, I showed you a two- or three-minute clip of him in Germany saying about 20 years' worth of negotiated diplomacy in two minutes.
00:41:00.020
I meant to get to this yesterday, but I didn't have time.
00:41:04.120
I think he was standing in front of the helicopters.
00:41:05.860
I think this was right before he was about to fly to Europe.
00:41:08.860
He was talking about simple rules for immigrating to America.
00:41:21.300
Tell people not to come to our country illegally.
00:41:46.820
Sure, I mean, you can like that or you can dislike that.
00:41:49.100
And you can like Trump and you can dislike him.
00:41:56.720
How could you even possibly take the other point of view?
00:42:01.060
If you want to change America's immigration laws, then change the laws.
00:42:06.860
And the police, in this case, the immigration police, the border patrol,
00:42:13.360
And the role of courts is to interpret the laws.
00:42:21.220
And whatever your laws are, unless you literally have no border at all
00:42:25.780
and no cops at all and no laws at all, whatever law you have,
00:42:30.400
even if you have a very liberal law, you are going to have a law,
00:42:37.940
And you will need some court to enforce whatever law you have.
00:42:41.740
So by definition, even if you are a left-wing, bleeding-heart globalist,
00:42:47.100
even a left-wing, bleeding-heart globalist believes in some laws,
00:42:56.720
But when was the last time you heard anyone say that?
00:42:59.060
When was the last time you heard Justin Trudeau say that?
00:43:01.280
When was the last time our friends in the UK or Germany heard Theresa May or Angela Merkel say that?
00:43:21.300
He tweeted a picture of Angela Merkel when she was, I think,
00:43:26.600
with the young communists or something in East Germany as a girl.
00:43:30.520
Angela Merkel was born in West Germany in the 50s.
00:43:44.400
I mean, remember after World War II, the Red Army came in from the East.
00:43:52.480
They divided up Berlin, but it was like an island.
00:44:02.020
I've experienced myself a part of Germany controlled by the Soviet Union.
00:44:14.440
In Eastern Europe, what was she, in Eastern Germany, excuse me,
00:44:19.000
which was the DDR, the Deutscher German Kretzscher Republic.
00:44:25.020
That's, of course, it was not democratic and it was not a republic.
00:44:36.620
Really reminiscent in some ways of the Nazism that it succeeded.
00:44:56.000
Did you know that her dad moved the family from free West Germany
00:45:11.360
You know, during the Cold War, which is of a bloody long time,
00:45:14.360
I think you could probably count on two hands' worth of fingers
00:45:17.940
the number of Americans or Westerners who said,
00:45:29.300
Maybe it happened a little more often in Germany
00:45:31.140
because there was the same families and ethnicities
00:45:36.620
I mean, I suppose there would be some South Koreans
00:46:03.020
That's what our British friends would call taking the piss.
00:46:26.340
is that they're designed to be sung by people like me
00:49:26.660
I got some negative feedback for that the other day.
00:49:39.560
and I don't particularly think I'm ever going to,
00:49:44.020
because it takes like 30 years to understand that.
00:50:58.480
Maybe there are some kids-y gastropubs out there,
00:51:12.900
is this typically where young single people go,
00:51:20.480
let's go to the pub for four hours as a family,
00:51:35.340
Maybe you have to be my age to think that's fun,
00:51:48.760
and I think it's because we got that new TommyRingtone.com,
00:52:00.600
but I don't think they'd mind me saying that they have a little bit of optimism,
00:52:03.160
about how things are going to go with the appeal.
00:52:10.360
And hopefully that will become apparent in the days ahead.
00:52:15.620
And we've got to stay optimistic, too, don't you think?
00:53:06.960
You don't want to sing that like you're a pop singer.
00:53:16.040
It's a chant made for people who don't know how to sing
00:53:42.440
Canada has an immigration minister who came to Canada as a refugee.
00:54:13.300
I don't know how many heart transplants he's had
00:54:35.700
who's clearly going to take over the family politics.
00:54:49.760
Honored to introduce the inspirational Ahmed Hassan,
00:55:52.800
According to the Liberal government's own polls,
00:56:39.200
If Ontario chooses not to be part of the process,
00:58:47.180
So this is a contract between the Government of Canada
00:58:52.340
So Canada has a contract outsourcing immigration policy
