Rebel News Podcast - Ezra Levant's Battleground： Trump slams NATO & more - July 11, 2018

00:00:00.000 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,

00:00:21.960 why don't you get a Tommy Robinson ringtone?

00:00:26.440 And can I play my new ringtone for you?

00:00:29.160 And you know what? You can get it from our website too.

00:00:33.280 Listen to my Tommy ringtone, are you ready?

00:00:35.560 Tell me if you can hear this, I'm going to make it nice and loud.

00:00:37.740 Here's my new ringtone.

00:00:44.160 Can you hear that?

00:00:47.860 That's my ringtone, it's the Tommy's song.

00:00:50.600 And you can get it for free at TommyRingtone.com.

00:00:54.400 Just get it for free.

00:00:56.020 And we've got some instructions there.

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. 1.00

00:01:29.900 And you can get your free Tommy ringtone at TommyRingtone.com.

00:01:36.980 Where else are you going to get it?

00:01:38.460 Where else would you look for your Tommy Robinson ringtone?

00:01:41.580 Can you put that image up right one more time?

00:01:43.520 One more time there, the website.

00:01:46.340 TommyRingtone.com.

00:01:47.560 Just give us your email address.

00:01:49.000 We'll put you on our Tommy list. 0.57

00:01:50.300 It's free, free, free.

00:01:51.380 We'll keep you posted on Tommy.

00:01:53.020 I've had some conversations in the last few days with Tommy's lawyers and Tommy's family.

00:01:59.200 And things are moving.

00:02:00.960 Things are moving.

00:02:01.560 As you know, the appeal is coming up.

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.

00:02:17.240 And I hope you'll get it too.

00:02:20.320 Why not?

00:02:20.820 It's hilarious.

00:02:21.420 It's, you know, and some people will say, who's that?

00:02:25.580 What's that?

00:02:26.800 And then you can, it's a conversation starter.

00:02:29.820 Yesterday we went on at some length, and by we, I mean me, went on at some length about

00:02:34.680 the grope shirt.

00:02:35.440 Can we put that up again?

00:02:37.440 GropeShirt.com.

00:02:38.920 Yeah, we got about 600 little websites here at The Rebel, in case you didn't know.

00:02:42.180 The Rebel is one of them. 0.60

00:02:43.120 But we got GropeShirt.com.

00:02:48.660 And that's not for free.

00:02:49.900 That's 25 bucks.

00:02:51.420 But you get this quality shirt.

00:02:54.300 Grope instead of hope.

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.

00:03:13.060 You can have your colors.

00:03:15.120 You know, you got the Bloods and Crips.

00:03:16.420 You got all that business.

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.

00:03:30.720 And there you have it.

00:03:32.180 So what are we doing?

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.

00:03:39.920 It's called Super Chat.

00:03:41.280 It's something that YouTube invented.

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.

00:03:59.500 I saw someone put in $50 the other day.

00:04:02.520 So that was up there for like 20 minutes.

00:04:05.220 And the good news is I think we get 70% of that dough.

00:04:08.900 So we help pay the bills.

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.

00:04:23.320 And sometimes that's uncomfortable.

00:04:25.520 A lot of the times that's uncomfortable.

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.

00:04:58.700 I love the comments.

00:04:59.380 I was having lots of fun with the comments.

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.

00:05:24.540 That's sort of clever, isn't it?

00:05:26.140 I think that's exactly what it was for.

00:05:28.840 And so America's 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.

00:05:45.280 This is not America making a demand.

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%.

00:06:08.380 So we're actually moving backwards.

00:06:11.580 So the Secretary General of NATO is a Norwegian.

00:06:16.300 His name is Jans Stoltenberg, if I recall.

00:06:21.860 And what's his job?

00:06:23.960 His job is to make NATO strong.

00:06:26.320 So he actually is bloody grateful that the American president is making a fuss.

00:06:32.780 That helps him.

00:06:34.220 I mean, he's, you know, he's a Labor Party Norwegian, so he's probably pretty liberal.

00:06:39.980 But he's got this job.

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?

00:07:03.180 Is that right, Alex?

00:07:04.180 I want to play for you the whole clip.

00:07:06.740 Now, there's a chance I might stop it if I get too excited.

00:07:09.560 But my goal is to run this whole clip through.

00:07:12.360 And it goes on longer.

00:07:14.000 Like I said, the whole clip's over 8 minutes.

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.

00:07:40.720 So you've got the top dogs here.

00:07:42.380 You've got Trump, you've got Trump's ambassador to NATO.

00:07:46.860 I forget her name off the top of my head.

00:07:48.980 You've got chief of staff, former general.

00:07:52.280 And you've got Pompeo.

00:07:53.740 And Kelly and Pompeo, and Pompeo, he was at West Point.

00:07:59.460 So he's, like, these are military men.

00:08:02.920 And Mattis was there also.

00:08:05.180 He wasn't sitting next to them.

00:08:06.020 They start squirming because Trump is so tough.

00:08:12.320 Trump doesn't just raise it once.

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.

00:08:22.580 And you see Mike Pompeo.

00:08:24.000 And these are not gentle men.

00:08:25.800 I mean, they're gentlemen.

00:08:26.380 But they're not dainty men.

00:08:29.740 These guys, I mean, I don't know how else you sell it. 0.98

00:08:32.320 They kill people. 0.93

00:08:34.300 The General Kelly, I think he's a former Marine.

00:08:38.960 And these are tough guys.

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.

00:09:05.360 So we're protecting Germany. 0.79

00:09:06.880 We're protecting France.

00:09:08.440 We're protecting all of these countries.

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, 0.99

00:09:22.580 but they're paying billions of dollars to Russia.

00:09:25.140 And I think that's very inappropriate.

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.

00:09:41.840 So you tell me, is that appropriate?

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.

00:09:49.880 But Germany is totally controlled by Russia, 0.87

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.

00:10:19.460 So I think that's inappropriate also.

00:10:21.760 You know, we're protecting Germany.

00:10:23.160 We're protecting France.

00:10:24.180 We're protecting everybody.

00:10:25.940 And yet we're paying a lot of money to protect.

00:10:28.320 Now, this has been going on for decades.

00:10:30.900 This has been brought up by other presidents,

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.

00:10:42.700 It's very unfair to our taxpayer.

00:10:45.020 And I think that these countries have to step it up,

00:10:47.440 not over a 10-year period.

00:10:48.640 They have to step it up immediately.

00:10:50.260 Germany is a rich country.

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.

00:11:02.040 I don't think it's fair to the United States.

00:11:03.880 So we're going to have to do something because we're not going to put up with it.

00:11:07.640 We can't put up with it.

00:11:08.680 And it's inappropriate.

00:11:10.220 That felt like it went on for a long time, didn't it?

00:11:15.600 Oh, it went on longer, people.

00:11:17.660 It went on longer.

00:11:19.380 And by the way, that Jan Stoltenberg,

00:11:21.920 he spoke back and he said,

00:11:24.540 thanks to your leadership, things are coming along.

00:11:26.300 Like, he was not the target.

00:11:28.940 He was the medium for this criticism to flow to the other,

00:11:33.460 what is it, 28 NATO members.

00:11:34.920 He was not the intended target.

00:11:37.400 He's actually trying to do what Trump's trying to do.

00:11:40.940 The media freaked out.

00:11:43.760 You've got to watch my 8 p.m. show

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,

00:11:51.440 the head of NATO, Secretary General,

00:11:54.220 he says, President, it's coming along.

00:11:56.340 We're really ramping up more spending than in a generation.

00:11:59.320 And Trump says, and why is that?

00:12:01.080 And Stoltenberg says, well, it's because you're pressing everyone.

00:12:04.420 You're taking the initiative.

00:12:05.220 And then Trump turns to the cameras and you say,

00:12:07.240 I bet the media won't report that.

00:12:09.080 And it's come true.

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,

00:12:17.540 a result of Trump's leadership.

00:12:19.500 Amazing.

00:12:20.880 And look, it's similar to the argument Trump makes to Canada

00:12:25.060 about tariffs.

00:12:27.440 And NAFTA, Trump says,

00:12:29.400 you've got all these unfair quotas on dairy.

00:12:32.340 You've got unfair stuff here and there.

00:12:34.860 You're bringing in cheap Chinese steel.

00:12:38.100 Stop it.

00:12:39.520 And what's Canada going to say?

00:12:40.920 No, we don't have a dairy cartel.

00:12:42.380 We all know we do.

00:12:43.920 No, we're not bringing in Chinese steel and dumping it in the States.

00:12:47.680 We do.

00:12:49.440 So you can like or dislike what Trump is saying,

00:12:53.160 but can you deny it's accurate?

00:12:54.780 Trump goes on at great length about how Germany is paying Russia for natural gas.

00:13:02.540 That is very true.

00:13:03.480 And that's something Ronald Reagan warned against.

00:13:06.000 In the Cold War, Reagan said,

00:13:07.880 don't buy your natural gas from Russia.

00:13:11.260 They'll hold you hostage to it.

00:13:13.240 And Germany loves it.

00:13:15.200 And some of those Baltic countries,

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?

00:13:26.980 I don't know if you recall,

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.

00:13:34.940 Just turn it off in the dead of winter.

00:13:37.100 Just cut it off.

00:13:38.580 That's what happens when you're buying gas from an authoritarian regime

00:13:43.080 dedicated to enforcing its will in the West.

00:13:47.400 Why would you buy your gas from your enemy?

00:13:50.060 As I think it was Solzhenitsyn himself said,

00:13:53.100 capitalists, they'll sell the rope that they will be hanged by. 0.98

00:13:59.580 Crazy. 0.98

00:14:00.840 So I was excited to see that.

00:14:03.440 And my point on the trade is,

00:14:05.200 it is a fact that Canada buys one million,

00:14:07.600 sorry, Canada sells one million more cars to the United States

00:14:11.720 than we buy from them.

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.

00:14:23.200 I mean, you can like that or dislike it,

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?

00:14:32.980 And can you say,

00:14:34.420 you can dislike what Trump is saying about the shirkers in NATO,

00:14:38.820 of which Canada is one of the worst.

00:14:40.120 You can dislike that. 0.91

00:14:42.380 And by the way,

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.

00:14:50.460 It's looking for a relative amount to the GDP.

00:14:54.600 So tiny Luxembourg doesn't have to spend billions,

00:14:58.240 but can they please spend 2%?

00:15:00.200 No, they're one of the worst actually.

00:15:01.620 So yeah, Trump is saying,

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

00:15:13.820 and you are anti-American.

00:15:18.300 Alex, did you get that website I sent you about broomsticks?

00:15:20.940 Can you throw it up there?

00:15:22.120 Look at this story.

00:15:22.960 This story keeps getting repeated.

00:15:24.600 Germany's army is so under-equipped

00:15:30.300 that it used broomsticks instead of machine guns.

00:15:38.640 I think that's from the Washington Post.

00:15:40.380 Is that right, Alex?

00:15:42.220 It's the Washington Post, I think.

00:15:44.760 You can Google it.

00:15:45.580 That story's everywhere.

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.

00:15:57.220 On Tuesday, German broadcaster ARD revealed

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

00:16:05.120 during a NATO exercise last year.

00:16:07.860 After painting the wooden sticks black,

00:16:11.200 the German soldiers swiftly attached them to the top of armored vehicles,

00:16:14.580 according to a confidential army report,

00:16:17.000 which was leaked to ARD.

00:16:18.340 A defense ministry spokesperson,

00:16:21.740 because they're gender sensitive over there, 0.62

00:16:23.800 so they're not spokesmen,

00:16:25.840 said the broomsticks was not a common practice.

00:16:28.660 Hey, man, we don't do it all the time, man.

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.

00:16:39.840 When you got nothing,

00:16:42.020 a black broomstick at least looks like something.

00:16:44.980 Now, just, you know, hey, guys,

00:16:47.320 it's one thing when you use a broomstick

00:16:49.800 in a training exercise to fool,

00:16:54.220 that was actually, I think, from a couple years back,

00:16:55.960 so that was to fool Obama,

00:16:57.700 but can you please not do that

00:17:00.500 if you actually get into a shooting war

00:17:03.040 with, God forbid, Vladimir Putin or anyone else, really?

00:17:06.020 We're no better here in Canada.

00:17:11.920 Alex, can you call up any website

00:17:13.500 about Trudeau demanding soldiers return extra sleeping bags?

00:17:18.500 Just any website will do.

00:17:20.980 So in Germany, they're using broomsticks,

00:17:24.240 painted black, to pretend they have machine guns,

00:17:27.040 and they make pew, pew, pew sounds, probably.

00:17:29.600 They make explosion sounds.

00:17:32.600 I'm adding that part,

00:17:33.620 but I guess if you have a broomstick,

00:17:35.560 you have to add rat-a-tat sounds and explosion sounds.

00:17:38.620 Here, look at this.

00:17:39.380 Look at this.

00:17:39.760 This is from CTV News,

00:17:41.200 Canada's largest private broadcaster.

00:17:42.940 Soldiers ordered to return sleeping bags and rucksacks

00:17:45.100 due to shortfall of equipment.

00:17:48.000 The Canadian Armed Forces has ordered its members

00:17:50.040 to return rucksacks and sleeping bag kits

00:17:52.440 so they can be redistributed

00:17:54.140 because of a shortfall of equipment.

00:17:56.160 CTV News has learned.

00:17:57.640 And by the way,

00:18:00.360 some of these sleeping bags were issued

00:18:02.000 more than a decade ago.

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. 0.99

00:18:09.580 That's my own theory.

00:18:11.140 I don't know the answer.

00:18:13.000 My point is, did you see my point?

00:18:15.960 So America's spending almost 4% of its GDP on the military,

00:18:20.200 and it doesn't generally gripe about it.

00:18:23.640 And I don't even think Trump's griping about the 4%.

00:18:27.080 I don't think he is, is he?

00:18:30.000 And he's not even saying,

00:18:31.300 hey, Germany, Canada, Luxembourg,

00:18:35.280 the chocolate-making countries,

00:18:38.620 Netherlands, you know, Belgium, kind of thing.

00:18:40.660 He's not even saying,

00:18:43.280 spend what we spend.

00:18:48.700 He's not even saying,

00:18:49.640 I want you to spend more than you agreed.

00:18:51.540 He's saying,

00:18:52.300 can you please keep your promise

00:18:54.320 that you've been making to American president

00:18:56.020 after American president,

00:18:58.000 and at least move towards 2%,

00:19:00.300 at least pretend,

00:19:01.400 like that broomstick thing,

00:19:02.800 it's sort of funny and all,

00:19:03.860 but that's not real.

00:19:05.060 Well, so Trump is not being unreasonable

00:19:10.620 if you think NATO is not unreasonable,

00:19:15.700 because this is a NATO agreement, 2%.

00:19:18.720 It's not Trump making something up.

00:19:20.900 It's what these countries promised.

00:19:22.120 I'm not going to go too much longer on this today,

00:19:26.480 but on my show at 8 p.m. tonight,

00:19:28.700 I have Justin Trudeau doing one of his bobblehead speak to cameras

00:19:33.300 where he said,

00:19:34.260 we're going to really increase our operations in Iraq

00:19:38.420 and build capacity.

00:19:41.240 I'll show you the clip tonight.

00:19:42.380 Actually, Trudeau withdrew our six CF-18 fighter jets

00:19:48.080 from the Iraq war

00:19:48.920 just before they finished off ISIS.

00:19:51.460 So the heavy lifting was done by America and the UK

00:19:55.280 and some Kurdish Peshmerga

00:19:57.460 and some Iraqi government forces.

00:19:59.680 Canada wasn't there, 0.54

00:20:00.960 but now Trudeau's ready to capacity build.

00:20:03.920 I don't know what that means either.

00:20:05.580 I'm pretty sure Trudeau doesn't either.

00:20:08.640 It's not shooting, though.

00:20:09.800 So maybe they could borrow some German broomsticks or something.

00:20:18.080 You know, I wrote a book a few years ago

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,

00:20:23.760 The Case for Fracking.

00:20:25.480 And they don't have oil sands in Germany that I know of,

00:20:30.060 but they have natural gas in shale.

00:20:33.460 Shale is a kind of rock.

00:20:35.960 It's really like clay,

00:20:36.780 and you've probably seen it

00:20:38.540 even if you don't know what it's called.

00:20:39.620 It's got tiny little pores in it.

00:20:41.620 You can break shale.

00:20:43.280 It's not very strong.

00:20:44.580 You can actually burn the rock.

00:20:46.220 Like it's sort of oil-soaked or gas-soaked.

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,

00:20:54.740 and there's tiny little pores in it.

00:20:57.440 There's like a micro-drop of oil or gas in it.

00:21:00.520 It's called shale.

00:21:01.880 And the question was,

00:21:04.780 well, how do you get those tiny little droplets of oil or gas out of the shale?

00:21:07.980 You can't.

00:21:08.520 And what are you going to do?

00:21:09.540 Burn the rock? 0.88

00:21:10.940 It's really gross.

00:21:12.100 And then fracking was this technological breakthrough that you cracked.

00:21:17.120 You fractured.

00:21:17.900 That's where fracking comes. 1.00

00:21:18.640 You fracture the tiny little pores.

00:21:21.720 It would be like an apple.

00:21:24.040 You know there's juice in the apple, right?

00:21:27.160 But you can't just stick a straw in the apple.

00:21:29.800 You know there's juice in an apple, but it's in tiny little pores, right?

00:21:33.060 So how do you get that out?

00:21:34.640 Well, fracking, that's what shale is.

00:21:36.760 So fracking breaks those tiny little cells, and then the juice comes out.

00:21:42.800 That's my analogy.

00:21:44.780 So you could frack in Germany. 0.92

00:21:47.520 You could frack in Poland. 1.00

00:21:48.320 You could frack in France. 0.67

00:21:49.960 And why am I talking about fracking?

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.

00:22:14.780 And so they buy their Russian gas instead.

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.

00:22:23.820 Do we have the image of Gerhard Schroeder?

00:22:30.280 This is what's so weird.

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.

00:22:55.640 Do we have that image, Alex?

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. 0.73

00:23:14.580 Why are you doing that?

00:23:16.480 Looks like we don't have the image.

00:23:17.540 That's fine.

00:23:17.980 Let's move on to the next subject.

00:23:21.620 First, I'm going to take some more.

00:23:23.780 I saw a super chat, so I'm going to go to that.

00:23:27.960 I see Moon Man chipped in two bucks.

00:23:30.040 Thank you.

00:23:30.460 My Russian collusion. 0.93

00:23:32.060 Trump is a Russian agent. 0.51

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? 0.80

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.

00:24:30.180 But people say Trump is in collusion.

00:24:33.680 But remember this clip with Barack Obama.

00:24:36.280 This is right before the 2012 re-election.

00:24:39.120 Take a look.

00:24:39.500 I don't know if you caught that.

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.

00:25:06.900 And that was a hot mic incident.

00:25:08.700 And both men were mic'd.

00:25:09.960 And, you know, you wear a microphone on your lapel.

00:25:12.180 You forget you wear it.

00:25:13.260 So Obama leans forward to Medvedev and says, tell Vladimir that I'll have more flexibility after I'm elected.

00:25:23.180 So obviously Putin wants something from Obama.

00:25:25.920 And Obama's saying to Medvedev, look, you'll get it, man.

00:25:29.060 You'll get it.

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.

00:25:39.200 Can we play that clip just one more time?

00:25:40.560 It's so short and it's so much fun to hear that Russian accent.

00:25:46.080 My last flight straight for you.

00:25:47.720 Yeah.

00:25:48.240 After my election, I have more flexibility.

00:25:51.620 Yeah.

00:25:52.100 Yeah.

00:25:52.240 I understand.

00:25:53.140 I transmit this information to Vladimir and Vladimir.

00:25:59.580 I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

00:26:04.380 Who's colluding?

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.

00:26:52.700 I don't think Putin wants it.

00:26:54.980 Tom Young, John, you claim fracking does not pollute water tables.

00:26:58.520 You're exactly right, Tom.

00:27:00.420 I've studied the matter.

00:27:01.340 I've actually been on frack jobs in Pennsylvania.

00:27:03.960 I've studied fracking on a scientific basis.

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.

00:27:31.940 Fracking typically happens a mile deep.

00:27:35.100 That's solid rock.

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.

00:27:58.320 And there's no case of polluted water.

00:28:00.000 That's just propaganda.

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.

00:28:25.440 And he was asked about Russia.

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.

00:28:51.120 I mean, fracking has taken off in America.

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? 0.82

00:29:04.160 If you're Russia, who are you selling to?

00:29:05.580 You're not going to...

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.

00:29:27.460 Or would it be Greenpeace?

00:29:30.140 Well, here's what Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a former Secretary General of NATO, had to say.

00:29:34.480 Do we have a clip?

00:29:36.280 We still don't have a clip? All right.

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.

00:29:49.760 I don't think I have.

00:29:51.840 Oh, I did. Here we go.

00:29:53.420 Red-pilled Borat.

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.

00:30:04.300 Proud of Israel.

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.

00:30:22.440 He actually filed it in a notice in Toronto.

00:30:25.020 So I will follow up on that.

00:30:26.300 Thank you, Red-pilled Borat.

00:30:27.280 I was unaware of that.

00:30:28.520 Anyway, here's Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

00:30:30.080 We have the tape now.

00:30:30.840 Take a look.

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.

00:30:59.260 That's my interpretation.

00:31:01.340 So it just adds a new aspect to this information operation.

00:31:08.240 Oh, there you have it, folks.

00:31:13.400 There you have it.

00:31:14.200 Or close enough.

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.

00:31:33.540 That video was before Trump was president.

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.

00:31:56.600 That doesn't mean that Putin isn't an agent.

00:31:59.820 I mean, he was a former KGB agent.

00:32:01.880 That doesn't mean Putin isn't trying to undermine the West.

00:32:04.300 We know he is.

00:32:04.920 That's part of Russia's MO. 0.99

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

00:32:20.280 to attack Western energy.

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.

00:32:33.720 That's a lot of oil, isn't it?

00:32:35.320 About 100 million.

00:32:37.560 And there are three countries that produce approximately 10 million barrels each.

00:32:44.040 Can you name them?

00:32:46.220 Saudi Arabia is obviously the biggest

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.

00:32:58.400 And they're just giving her.

00:32:59.840 And fracking is a big reason for that. 0.84

00:33:01.740 But Russia is the third.

00:33:03.960 Russia is the third.

00:33:06.040 So why is it that environmental extremist groups,

00:33:10.720 they don't focus on Saudi Arabia ever.

00:33:13.440 They sometimes focus on America.

00:33:16.660 But with only one exception that I can think of,

00:33:19.360 they never focus on Russia.

00:33:20.600 Isn't that odd?

00:33:22.100 That all these environmental extremist groups,

00:33:24.300 when they're anti-oil, they focus on Canada.

00:33:27.100 Shut down the oil sands.

00:33:28.940 Keystone XL pipelines shut down the oil sands from Canada.

00:33:31.980 That they never quarrel with Russia.

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.

00:33:40.560 They went after a Russian underwater drilling,

00:33:44.100 Arctic drilling rig.

00:33:45.880 They were all scooped up and thrown in prison.

00:33:49.980 And they were held in prison for a long time until they were finally released.

00:33:55.000 And Greenpeace never did that again.

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. 0.96

00:34:11.160 Sudan.

00:34:13.300 I think Anders Fograsmussen is right.

00:34:16.600 I think I've caught up on the super chats.

00:34:18.460 Am I right?

00:34:18.780 Am I missing any super chats?

00:34:20.620 No?

00:34:21.140 Okay.

00:34:21.340 I'm going to read some more.

00:34:22.820 Oh, a couple more.

00:34:24.120 Let me check my email.

00:34:25.920 My friends in the production, very, very high tech production area,

00:34:32.440 email me any super chats that I've missed.

00:34:36.680 So I've got to find those super chats right now.

00:34:39.600 Here we go.

00:34:41.160 Tom Youngjohn, make America great again equals economic nationalism and reality TV.

00:34:49.760 Love it.

00:34:50.880 I think you're right.

00:34:53.060 I see today that the Atlanta Federal Reserve estimates the U.S. GDP growth to be around 4%.

00:35:03.660 That is very high.

00:35:07.100 Just for contrast, in Canada, it's about 2%.

00:35:09.600 Jobs, you know, the job market is booming.

00:35:16.240 Unemployment is a record low.

00:35:17.960 Wages are going up.

00:35:19.000 Now, you see stories about companies complaining about a tight labor market,

00:35:23.980 complaining how much they have to pay workers.

00:35:25.720 And if your interests are those of the Facebooks and the Googles and the, I guess, the vegetable picker companies,

00:35:33.840 you, yeah, you want really cheap labor.

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. 1.00

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.

00:36:01.400 And you know what?

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.

00:36:54.860 Job's the best social program there is.

00:36:57.440 And everyone else moves up.

00:36:58.940 And, yeah, so maybe you're spending 10 cents more on your pack of tomatoes.

00:37:06.100 Big deal.

00:37:07.900 Now you have Americans employed, and I wish we did that in Canada. 0.86

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.

00:37:19.000 And you know what?

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. 1.00

00:37:32.220 But how does that help the country?

00:37:34.060 And how does that help Canadian 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.

00:37:49.960 I don't want to work at McDonald's.

00:37:51.120 That's for foreign workers. 0.95

00:37:52.120 No, no, no.

00:37:53.060 That's your first job.

00:37:56.720 I'm just looking at some comments here.

00:37:58.440 Let's see what we got here.

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.

00:38:12.540 I think it's a 3 p.m. in Whitehall in London.

00:38:14.940 That's a Tommy Robinson march.

00:38:17.300 Raheem Kassam is organizing it.

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.

00:38:38.320 And that's the thing.

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.

00:38:45.860 He's got his job.

00:38:46.720 He's got his trust fund.

00:38:47.660 He's got his free everything.

00:38:49.300 But that's going to hurt 160,000 autoworkers. 0.87

00:38:52.520 I see a new super chat.

00:38:53.600 Viking Insane says, what did Viola Desmond achieve to replace Sir John A. Macdonald on our $10 bill? 1.00

00:38:59.320 You know, I've seen a little bit of hubbub about that.

00:39:01.400 I have not done my research.

00:39:02.500 Forgive me.

00:39:02.800 I'll get back to it.

00:39:03.860 But I mean, John A. Macdonald, I mean, who's he, right? 0.91

00:39:06.140 I mean, all he did was found a country, and he's some dead white male. 0.98

00:39:09.140 He's probably racist. 0.97

00:39:10.980 William Wallace says, oh, Tommy, Tommy.

00:39:13.040 Now, I don't know if you saw it, because I don't know if everyone was logged in there.

00:39:15.980 I see there's about 600 people watching now.

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.

00:39:39.380 I don't feel lonely.

00:39:40.660 But let me play for you what it sounds like.

00:39:42.460 I'm going to hold this right next to my microphone.

00:39:46.180 This is my new ringtone.

00:39:47.920 How awesome is this?

00:39:50.100 Let me play it.

00:39:53.240 Can you hear that?

00:39:54.120 That's my phone.

00:39:57.380 That's my ringtone.

00:39:59.060 How awesome is that?

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.

00:40:17.420 Our Tommy ringtone is free.

00:40:19.840 Just go to our site, log in with your email, get it for free.

00:40:22.480 And what do we do with your email?

00:40:24.740 We'll send you Tommy updates.

00:40:28.020 I think I've got a new chat.

00:40:30.400 Oh, I read it already.

00:40:31.240 It was about Viola Desmond.

00:40:33.460 Okay, let's catch up here.

00:40:35.140 It's 1240.

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.

00:40:49.480 He just says things.

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.

00:41:02.860 It's Trump.

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.

00:41:14.280 Very simple rules.

00:41:15.360 Do we have that video from yesterday, fellas?

00:41:20.240 Let's play it.

00:41:20.940 Here we go.

00:41:21.300 Tell people not to come to our country illegally. 0.93

00:41:25.140 That's the solution.

00:41:26.640 Don't come to our country illegally. 1.00

00:41:29.520 Come like other people do.

00:41:31.400 Come legally.

00:41:33.000 Mr. President.

00:41:34.160 Mr. President.

00:41:36.880 I'm saying this very simply.

00:41:39.740 We have laws.

00:41:40.800 We have borders.

00:41:42.260 Don't come to our country illegally. 1.00

00:41:45.740 How are you going to...

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.

00:41:50.980 I obviously like him.

00:41:52.980 But how are you going to disagree with that?

00:41:54.780 Don't come to this country illegally. 1.00

00:41:56.720 How could you even possibly take the other point of view?

00:42:00.020 Come illegally. 0.98

00:42:01.060 If you want to change America's immigration laws, then change the laws. 0.69

00:42:05.160 But the laws are the laws.

00:42:06.860 And the police, in this case, the immigration police, the border patrol,

00:42:11.820 their job is to enforce the laws.

00:42:13.360 And the role of courts is to interpret the laws.

00:42:18.280 If you don't like the laws, change the laws.

00:42:19.980 But those are 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,

00:42:34.140 which means you need some way to enforce law.

00:42:36.780 You will need some police.

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,

00:42:50.660 some rules, some judiciary.

00:42:52.700 Trump is saying something so obvious.

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?

00:43:06.560 You know, I was reminded of something today.

00:43:09.320 I saw David Vance in the UK.

00:43:11.680 He's working hard out there.

00:43:14.920 David Vance tweeted a picture.

00:43:18.020 I don't know if we could find that.

00:43:19.800 Can you find David Vance on Twitter?

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.

00:43:42.080 So that was free, right?

00:43:44.400 I mean, remember after World War II, the Red Army came in from the East.

00:43:47.340 The Allies came in from the West. 0.89

00:43:49.780 And then they sort of split Berlin.

00:43:52.480 They divided up Berlin, but it was like an island. 0.56

00:43:54.900 And look at this from David Vance.

00:43:59.120 Can you see that?

00:43:59.880 Angela Merkel responds to Trump.

00:44:02.020 I've experienced myself a part of Germany controlled by the Soviet Union.

00:44:05.420 Yes, she sure did.

00:44:06.840 Here she is in full communist attire.

00:44:11.220 That is Angela Merkel.

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.

00:44:28.560 It was a Soviet vassal state.

00:44:30.580 It was a colony of the Soviet Union.

00:44:32.920 It was run by the Stasi.

00:44:34.860 It was an awful place.

00:44:36.620 Really reminiscent in some ways of the Nazism that it succeeded. 0.99

00:44:42.640 Why was Angela Merkel in East Germany? 0.50

00:44:46.820 Was she kidnapped?

00:44:47.620 Why did she go to East Germany? 0.95

00:44:50.740 She was born, I think, in Hamburg.

00:44:53.160 She was born in West Germany.

00:44:56.000 Did you know that her dad moved the family from free West Germany

00:45:03.960 into Soviet-dominated East Germany?

00:45:07.940 He did that by choice.

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,

00:45:21.820 I want to go and live under Soviet domination. 0.98

00:45:25.820 Like, it was so weird and so irregular.

00:45:28.860 I mean, I don't know.

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

00:45:34.340 just on both sides of an artificial border.

00:45:36.160 I don't know.

00:45:36.620 I mean, I suppose there would be some South Koreans

00:45:40.360 who said, I want to live in the North.

00:45:42.540 I mean, there's no accounting for craziness.

00:45:45.180 And again, there might be family reasons.

00:45:48.060 But Angela Merkel's dad said,

00:45:50.380 we're going to move to the East. 0.99

00:45:52.780 That is one screwed up gal. 1.00

00:45:54.340 I see a $5 super chat from Rare Groups. 0.89

00:45:57.420 It says, Ezra, please sing Tommy Tommy's song.

00:45:59.420 You have such a big, beautiful voice.

00:46:02.260 You know what? 0.99

00:46:03.020 That's what our British friends would call taking the piss. 0.98

00:46:06.740 I think you're making fun of me. 0.97

00:46:10.900 But I don't care.

00:46:12.440 I sang a song in Russian earlier

00:46:14.540 because we were talking about Russia things.

00:46:19.140 And it's not even a song.

00:46:21.620 It's a chant.

00:46:22.280 And the thing about those soccer chants,

00:46:24.780 or as I say, football chants,

00:46:26.340 is that they're designed to be sung by people like me

00:46:29.040 with no singing skill.

00:46:31.620 Like, they're not beautiful songs.

00:46:33.540 Like, all the different, like,

00:46:34.560 can you call up, Alex, can you get the chant

00:46:37.000 that the British and the Swedish teams,

00:46:40.680 you know, the Brits were saying, 1.00

00:46:42.620 you're shit, but your birds are fit. 1.00

00:46:44.860 And the Swedes were saying, 1.00

00:46:46.880 go home to your ugly wives. 1.00

00:46:48.140 Can you get that? 1.00

00:46:49.680 Sorry for all the swears,

00:46:50.900 but that's football lingo.

00:46:52.940 I want to show you some of the chants.

00:46:54.660 You know what I'm talking about, Alex?

00:46:58.400 Come on, people.

00:47:00.540 You got to stay up,

00:47:01.460 you got to stay on top of the memes.

00:47:06.120 The World Cup,

00:47:07.280 it's a soccer thing.

00:47:09.240 It's a soccer thing,

00:47:10.500 which they call football.

00:47:11.880 Did you hear that?

00:47:30.260 They were saying you're S-H-I-T,

00:47:32.980 but you're birds,

00:47:33.800 that's the way,

00:47:34.560 birds,

00:47:35.520 but they call it, 1.00

00:47:36.600 we would call that a shit. 1.00

00:47:38.300 So they're saying you're terrible at soccer, 1.00

00:47:41.320 but your girlfriends are beautiful. 0.91

00:47:44.640 Which is actually a pretty complimentary thing

00:47:48.180 as soccer chants go.

00:47:50.320 I mean,

00:47:50.680 they can be pretty brutal.

00:47:52.200 So they're saying,

00:47:53.000 you guys are terrible at soccer,

00:47:54.280 but we'll grant you

00:47:55.220 that your women are pretty.

00:47:57.300 But the Swedes,

00:47:58.860 they had a chant in reply.

00:48:00.320 Can you find that one, Alex?

00:48:02.700 I'll just,

00:48:03.440 I'll take you out of suspense.

00:48:04.880 They say, 1.00

00:48:05.740 go home to your ugly wives. 1.00

00:48:09.760 That's the Swedish chant, 1.00

00:48:11.480 but at least they were saying it in English,

00:48:12.980 which I appreciate.

00:48:13.840 I don't know why,

00:48:16.360 oh yeah,

00:48:16.920 let's play the Swedish one,

00:48:18.380 just because it's bad.

00:48:19.060 That's tough stuff.

00:48:44.900 I think that's to the tune of Go West.

00:48:47.300 You know that song,

00:48:48.040 Go West.

00:48:49.060 Sun in wintertime.

00:48:50.280 I think it's a go home 1.00

00:48:51.500 to your ugly wives. 1.00

00:48:53.400 Go home to your ugly wives. 1.00

00:48:56.920 That's tough. 1.00

00:48:58.280 That is tough stuff.

00:49:00.220 That's sort of mean.

00:49:02.360 But that's how soccer chants are,

00:49:05.180 as they say,

00:49:05.640 football chants.

00:49:06.960 But they were singing it in English,

00:49:09.360 which I guess you have to do

00:49:10.980 if you're trying to insult Englishmen.

00:49:13.280 You should probably be speaking English.

00:49:15.020 If they were to say that in Swedish,

00:49:17.100 no one would understand them.

00:49:20.060 The Brits were singing in English too.

00:49:22.740 But again,

00:49:23.440 I say,

00:49:23.780 I mean,

00:49:24.000 to call someone S-H-I-T,

00:49:25.600 I'm sorry I was swearing so much,

00:49:26.660 I got some negative feedback for that the other day. 0.96

00:49:29.280 You're S-H-I-T, 1.00

00:49:30.520 but your birds are fit.

00:49:31.980 That's a compliment.

00:49:33.020 I think that's a compliment.

00:49:35.640 I don't understand football culture,

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.

00:49:48.500 Rare Group says,

00:49:49.260 you're a rather decent bloke,

00:49:50.280 Ezra,

00:49:50.480 get yourself a beer on me.

00:49:51.600 Well,

00:49:51.840 thanks very much,

00:49:52.600 and thank you for the five pounds.

00:49:54.180 Appreciate that.

00:49:55.680 Yeah,

00:49:56.180 you know,

00:49:56.400 even beer culture,

00:49:57.240 it's a little bit different.

00:49:58.000 One of the things that I really enjoyed

00:50:00.060 about my business with Tommy

00:50:02.140 is pub culture in the UK.

00:50:05.900 It's a family place.

00:50:08.720 There's kids there in strollers

00:50:10.820 and like high chairs.

00:50:13.020 They're obviously not drinking.

00:50:14.500 It's just the whole family goes to the pub,

00:50:16.680 and it's no big deal,

00:50:18.140 and no one's freaking out,

00:50:19.180 and no one's IDing or carding the little ones,

00:50:21.640 and everyone's responsible enough,

00:50:23.980 and it's sort of fun.

00:50:25.900 And, you know,

00:50:26.600 the whole concept of the gastropub,

00:50:28.620 like a pub that serves great food,

00:50:30.760 it's a real thing.

00:50:31.780 In the UK,

00:50:33.060 we don't really have a lot of that in Canada,

00:50:34.520 I don't think.

00:50:35.780 There's a lot of fake British pubs,

00:50:39.660 or real British pubs in Canada.

00:50:42.660 You know,

00:50:43.200 the Fox and this,

00:50:44.180 the Elephant and Castle,

00:50:45.380 whatever.

00:50:45.700 They got all their traditional names,

00:50:47.800 and they're good enough,

00:50:48.640 but they're always a little dark and dingy,

00:50:51.080 and yeah,

00:50:51.500 you can get your meat pies and whatnot,

00:50:54.340 but there's no kids in them.

00:50:57.120 Maybe I don't go off enough.

00:50:58.480 Maybe there are some kids-y gastropubs out there,

00:51:01.420 but the fun,

00:51:02.720 I think it makes it more fun in the UK,

00:51:05.440 where you got all the generations.

00:51:07.420 Like,

00:51:07.620 it's really a town meeting spot.

00:51:09.860 Like,

00:51:10.240 I mean,

00:51:10.580 my take on Canadian bars,

00:51:12.900 is this typically where young single people go,

00:51:15.080 right?

00:51:15.280 Or people have to work,

00:51:18.160 or whatever.

00:51:18.900 But it's not like,

00:51:20.480 let's go to the pub for four hours as a family,

00:51:23.400 and grandpa's there,

00:51:24.980 and the boomers are there,

00:51:27.200 and the youngsters are there,

00:51:28.580 and you even have kids there,

00:51:30.160 and it's like a,

00:51:30.980 it's almost like a town square meeting thing.

00:51:34.240 That's a different feeling.

00:51:35.340 Maybe you have to be my age to think that's fun,

00:51:38.080 that all the generations are there,

00:51:39.880 in the same place,

00:51:40.940 and they're hanging out for hours,

00:51:42.780 and maybe you got the game on.

00:51:44.720 But that's,

00:51:45.280 anyhow,

00:51:45.580 Tommy sort of introduced me to that.

00:51:47.140 I'm Tommy-centric,

00:51:48.760 and I think it's because we got that new TommyRingtone.com,

00:51:52.480 which is pretty awesome.

00:51:54.720 And I've been kibitzing a bit with the family,

00:51:56.560 because,

00:51:58.840 you know,

00:51:59.100 I don't want to tell us how to school,

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.

00:52:07.420 And I do, too.

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?

00:52:20.180 All right, let's just check the time.

00:52:21.540 It's 12.52.

00:52:22.640 You can see I avoided singing the Tommy.

00:52:25.840 But why don't I sing it?

00:52:27.260 Will you join me?

00:52:28.600 Let's play one more time.

00:52:29.660 And then I just,

00:52:31.160 for some reason,

00:52:31.920 I'm feeling self-conscious.

00:52:33.460 I didn't feel self-conscious when I sang,

00:52:36.740 you know, 0.94

00:52:38.060 Go Home to Your Ugly Wives, 1.00

00:52:39.120 for some reason. 1.00

00:52:39.880 I didn't feel self-conscious about that.

00:52:44.720 I'm just getting my ringtone here.

00:52:46.680 I just want to play it one more time,

00:52:47.700 just to get it back in my mind.

00:52:51.380 Here we go.

00:52:56.080 Oh,

00:52:57.180 Tommy,

00:52:57.700 Tommy,

00:52:58.340 Tommy,

00:52:59.340 Tommy,

00:52:59.740 Tommy,

00:52:59.780 Tommy,

00:53:00.140 Tommy,

00:53:00.220 Tommy Robinson.

00:53:01.640 I don't think you want to even be too melodic.

00:53:03.980 Like,

00:53:04.140 you don't want to sing that perfectly.

00:53:06.960 You don't want to sing that like you're a pop singer.

00:53:09.960 You don't want to,

00:53:10.400 like,

00:53:10.540 really beller an opera singer.

00:53:11.980 Because it's not meant for that.

00:53:13.760 It's a chant,

00:53:15.160 not a song.

00:53:16.040 It's a chant made for people who don't know how to sing 1.00

00:53:19.800 and maybe are slightly inebriated

00:53:23.340 and maybe,

00:53:24.900 just maybe can't hold a tune or sing on key.

00:53:30.200 Plus,

00:53:30.720 it's really easy to remember the words.

00:53:32.520 Am I right?

00:53:32.920 I want to tackle one more video.

00:53:42.440 Canada has an immigration minister who came to Canada as a refugee.

00:53:46.400 His name is Ahmed Hassan,

00:53:49.640 as you can probably guess from the name.

00:53:51.280 He is a Muslim man himself

00:53:52.460 who came from Somalia,

00:53:55.360 if I'm not mistaken.

00:53:56.280 And he has thrown open the borders.

00:54:00.860 Can you Google Ahmed Hassan and Alex Soros?

00:54:05.180 There's a picture of the two of them meeting.

00:54:09.020 George Soros is in his 80s.

00:54:11.780 He probably,

00:54:12.540 I mean,

00:54:12.780 he's,

00:54:13.300 I don't know how many heart transplants he's had

00:54:15.640 or blood transplants.

00:54:17.180 When you're worth 10,

00:54:18.500 20 billion dollars,

00:54:19.980 you can stay alive,

00:54:22.280 who knows,

00:54:22.740 maybe to 100.

00:54:23.520 One of the Rockefellers did. 0.99

00:54:25.400 When you've got that much money

00:54:26.580 and you say,

00:54:27.100 I'm going to live every second I can,

00:54:29.500 you can stretch your life longer.

00:54:32.280 But let's take a look at his son,

00:54:34.900 Alex Soros,

00:54:35.700 who's clearly going to take over the family politics.

00:54:38.020 There is Alex Soros

00:54:39.720 in New York City with Ahmed Hassan.

00:54:44.840 Let me read it.

00:54:45.840 This is Alex Soros' Instagram page.

00:54:49.760 Honored to introduce the inspirational Ahmed Hassan,

00:54:54.020 Canada's Minister of Immigration,

00:54:55.800 Refugees and Citizenship

00:54:56.980 at this year's Concordia Summit.

00:55:02.400 I'm just going to squint my eyes

00:55:04.300 to read that a little bit.

00:55:06.640 Focusing on migrants and refugees,

00:55:09.700 this incredible man

00:55:10.980 was himself a stateless refugee 1.00

00:55:12.840 who fled from Somalia

00:55:14.540 and immigrated to Canada

00:55:16.040 where he fights tirelessly

00:55:18.680 for migrants,

00:55:19.940 refugees and stateless people 1.00

00:55:21.300 not just in Canada

00:55:22.560 but around the world.

00:55:23.440 Thank you, Minister Hassan,

00:55:24.600 for being such a role model

00:55:26.180 in these troubled times.

00:55:29.060 Yeah, I'll say he fights.

00:55:30.660 Now, who does he fight?

00:55:32.060 Well, he fights against Canadians. 0.67

00:55:35.280 According to the Liberal Party's own...

00:55:37.100 That's Alex Soros here.

00:55:38.240 That's George Soros' son.

00:55:39.840 So when George Soros kicks the bucket,

00:55:42.020 Alex is going to be around

00:55:42.940 for at least 50 more years.

00:55:46.220 So who does Ahmed Hassan fight?

00:55:49.340 Alex Soros says he fights.

00:55:50.900 And indeed he does.

00:55:52.800 According to the Liberal government's own polls,

00:55:54.740 only 8% of Canadians want more immigration.

00:55:57.560 And that poll was before

00:55:58.480 the Open Borders with America thing.

00:56:00.260 That number surely followed.

00:56:01.940 So he's basically fighting against

00:56:03.440 92% of Canadians.

00:56:06.520 Absolutely.

00:56:08.460 Ontario has a new premier named Doug Ford

00:56:10.700 who doesn't like the fact

00:56:12.180 that he's stuck with the tab

00:56:13.500 for all these unemployable,

00:56:16.640 unskilled, culturally unfit migrants 1.00

00:56:19.080 who are bogus to begin with. 0.98

00:56:21.600 And so he called them illegal immigrants,

00:56:23.140 which of course they are.

00:56:24.960 Here's Ahmed Hassan raging against that.

00:56:27.800 Take a look.

00:56:28.680 Now, we have to work together

00:56:30.700 to have an orderly system

00:56:32.920 where asylum seekers are redirected

00:56:36.780 to temporary housing sites

00:56:37.900 while they wait for their hearings.

00:56:39.200 If Ontario chooses not to be part of the process,

00:56:44.080 it means that we will not have

00:56:45.680 an orderly system in place.

00:56:48.080 And so I'm also perplexed

00:56:50.760 by the notion that Ontario is saying,

00:56:52.640 you know, we need you to help us.

00:56:54.500 We need you to help Toronto.

00:56:56.120 We need you to give us money.

00:56:57.300 But we wouldn't be a partner in that effort.

00:57:00.540 That doesn't make sense to me.

00:57:01.780 And I'm very concerned by Premier Ford

00:57:06.720 and Minister McLeod

00:57:08.420 really making statements

00:57:12.700 that are difficult to understand

00:57:18.480 when it comes to

00:57:19.660 how they are describing asylum seekers.

00:57:22.160 These are people who

00:57:23.380 we have a legal obligation

00:57:25.160 to give a fair hearing to.

00:57:26.760 And so we are applying Canadian law.

00:57:30.420 We are applying international law.

00:57:32.000 And that requires all levels

00:57:33.400 of government to work together.

00:57:35.340 You know what?

00:57:36.060 I was just Googling something there.

00:57:37.540 I'm going to email it to our producer,

00:57:40.020 Alex and Hannah,

00:57:41.860 for them to put up on the screen

00:57:43.300 because I don't know if they'll find it

00:57:44.440 quick enough on their own.

00:57:47.400 Ahmed Hassan and Alex Soros

00:57:49.580 are not just Instagram buddies.

00:57:51.600 Like anyone can take a selfie, right?

00:57:53.380 I actually have a picture of myself

00:57:56.740 with Justin Trudeau

00:57:57.540 running my hair through his fingers.

00:57:58.660 I've got to dig it up somewhere.

00:57:59.560 I should post that again.

00:58:00.480 It's hilarious.

00:58:01.740 Anyone can get a photo with anyone.

00:58:05.660 But take a look at this.

00:58:08.420 This is, as you can see,

00:58:11.240 from the Government of Canada.

00:58:12.220 This is from the Government of Canada website.

00:58:14.500 I'm going to read this to you.

00:58:15.980 Canada, United Nations,

00:58:18.140 HCR, High Commission of Refugees,

00:58:21.720 and the Open Society Foundations,

00:58:24.300 that's George Soros' foundation,

00:58:27.300 seek to increase refugee resettlement

00:58:29.260 through private sponsorship.

00:58:31.220 That's the headline,

00:58:32.640 but that's not actually what this is about.

00:58:35.000 This is a contract.

00:58:35.960 Let me read a little bit.

00:58:36.680 New York.

00:58:37.540 The Government of Canada,

00:58:38.500 the UN High Commissioner for Refugees,

00:58:40.280 and the Open Society Foundations,

00:58:43.060 da-da-da-da-da-da,

00:58:44.580 and then you see the three points there.

00:58:46.280 These are the three points.

00:58:47.180 So this is a contract between the Government of Canada

00:58:50.520 and Soros' society.

00:58:52.340 So Canada has a contract outsourcing immigration policy

00:58:57.120 to George Soros to the United States.

00:58:58.440 That's weird.

00:58:59.840 But look at point three.

00:59:02.140 Can you see it?

00:59:04.940 One of the three things the Soros Foundation

00:59:07.280 is being paid to do by Canada is

00:59:09.200 provide a vehicle that mobilizes citizens

00:59:13.420 in direct support of refugees

00:59:15.860 and encourages a broader political debate

00:59:19.100 that is supportive of refugee protection.

00:59:23.060 You can take it down now.

00:59:24.860 And I know we're almost out of time,

00:59:26.280 but my point is

00:59:27.900 that's not immigration policy.

00:59:31.180 Immigration policy is how many immigrants, 0.92

00:59:33.020 how many refugees,

00:59:33.860 how you handle them.

00:59:35.340 Point three there

00:59:36.220 is a propaganda policy.

00:59:38.200 Shape the debate.

00:59:39.620 Encourage.

00:59:41.360 Propagandize.

00:59:43.740 Alex Soros and George Soros

00:59:45.540 have a contract with the Government of Canada.

00:59:47.260 I just showed you the webpage.

00:59:48.740 You can find it yourself.

00:59:50.460 To promote their globalist,

00:59:54.040 open borders,

00:59:55.740 Muslim-centric migration agenda.

01:00:00.220 And the Government of Canada

01:00:01.720 signed it on a dotted line,

01:00:03.660 put out a press release.

01:00:05.060 And have you even heard about that

01:00:06.640 in the mainstream media?

01:00:08.360 It's on the Government of Canada's website.

01:00:11.260 Of course not,

01:00:11.980 because the mainstream media supports it

01:00:13.920 and knows that if they talked about it,

01:00:15.920 well, you wouldn't.

01:00:16.880 My friends, it's one o'clock.

01:00:17.940 We're out of time.

01:00:19.480 That's it for today's show.

01:00:20.500 You should tune in tonight at 8 p.m.

01:00:21.800 because I really go deep on this NATO thing.

01:00:24.240 I play a lot more of that Trump clip,

01:00:26.060 and I show some Canadian clips in response.

01:00:28.500 It'll make you mad.

01:00:29.260 Until next time,

01:00:31.360 on behalf of all of us here

01:00:32.660 at Rebel World Headquarters,

01:00:34.920 goodbye.

01:00:36.080 Keep fighting for freedom.

01:00:37.100 Thank you.

01:00:38.440 Keep fighting for freedom.
