Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Trudeau’s CBC state broadcaster does their best to smear Elon Musk

00:00:00.200 Hello, my friends. I want to take you through the CBC's latest hit job, a smear against

00:00:07.040 Elon Musk. And it's so lame and it's so awful. And it's done by one of the worst journalists 0.60

00:00:11.920 in the entire Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, who was recently chided by their own ombudsman

00:00:16.720 for his lack of ethics. Well, he's at it again. I'll take you through it line by line.

00:00:21.220 But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the

00:00:24.340 video version of this podcast. It's eight bucks a month, which I know that's not a ton of dough,

00:00:29.620 really. That's like half a Starbucks drink, I know. But it means a lot to us because eight

00:00:34.420 bucks here, eight bucks there really adds up. And we pay half our payroll with that. And we need that

00:00:39.400 because, of course, we don't take a dime from Trudeau and we're being demonetized by YouTube.

00:00:44.660 So please go to rebelnewsplus.com if you can. Here's today's podcast.

00:00:49.060 Tonight, Trudeau's CBC State Broadcaster does their best to smear Elon Musk. It's December 12th,

00:01:01.620 and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:05.840 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:09.420 You know, I'm on Twitter and TikTok on my phone and both track me through my phone. I'm the same 0.88

00:01:23.500 person, whatever I type, whatever I search for, whatever I read, whatever I say into my phone,

00:01:30.000 both apps get the same information for me. So it's amazing to see the difference between what those

00:01:34.780 two social media platforms serve up to me based on their algorithms of the information I'm giving

00:01:40.740 them because I'm giving them both the same info. And I should tell you that there's about 100 times

00:01:45.480 more raw anti-Semitism and anti-black racism on TikTok than there is on Twitter. I mean, deep pro-Nazi

00:01:55.760 stuff like old Hitler speeches done up in a cool meme or Holocaust denial stuff or more often

00:02:02.920 Holocaust romanticization stuff. I can't tell you how many times Nazi war songs have been served up

00:02:11.620 to me on TikTok. Obviously, I'm Jewish. I'm not a Nazi. I am not searching for this stuff. It is being

00:02:17.740 pumped at me. And that was before the October 7th Hamas terrorist rape and murder spree in Israel.

00:02:24.480 That added a whole additional layer of more up-to-date anti-Semitism to my TikTok feed, but not my Twitter

00:02:32.460 feed. Sometimes I laugh when people publish ads. They take a screenshot of an ad that shows up on a

00:02:40.360 website they're watching and they complain about that ad. Usually they say, oh, all these dating sites

00:02:46.120 are these sexually suggestive sites. And it's funny because that person obviously doesn't realize,

00:02:52.040 of course, that the ads served up on any given website are personalized. They're tailored to the

00:02:57.960 individual users. So if you're getting ads to meet single women in your area, it may be you. Not the

00:03:04.380 website you're on. You may have been Googling that. But I promise you, as a Jew, I am not searching

00:03:10.760 for Nazi stuff or anti-Black stuff on my phone. And if it were the algorithm responding to me, I would 0.97

00:03:17.240 imagine that Twitter would be serving up the same stuff too. But it is not. My point is TikTok

00:03:21.440 really is a pipeline of cultural propaganda, hate, anti-Semitism, anti-Black racism, pro-Chinese Communist 0.89

00:03:31.260 Party, and pro-Hamas ideas, and actually pro-transgenderism. There's no escaping it on TikTok. And it goes 0.58

00:03:38.140 right into the minds of young people in the West. Young kids aren't really on Twitter talking politics.

00:03:44.040 They are on TikTok, which is controlled by Communist China. Which leads me to our story today. 0.60

00:03:50.320 I don't know if you remember a few months back, but Blacklock's reporter broke the news. CBC's

00:03:57.280 in-house ombudsman, who usually just whitewashes the state broadcaster's ethical lapses, was so grossed

00:04:03.940 out by one CBC story that they actually chided their own reporters for smearing Trudeau's enemies

00:04:09.840 as conspiracy theorists. The reporter's name in question is Jonathan Montpetit, and he's really

00:04:15.740 Trudeau's hatchet man at the CBC. You can look through his stories over the years. Here's his

00:04:21.380 homepage on the CBC website. They call him an investigative journalist, but I don't think that's

00:04:27.060 quite accurate. He just calls himself that to make himself seem classier, I think. He's really just a

00:04:32.620 mud thrower, rehashing left-wing gossip about conservatives, never doing investigations of the

00:04:39.760 government, God forbid, or of the left. He just goes after conservatives, Trudeau's enemies list.

00:04:44.900 Let me just pick one of his examples. This one here. Can you imagine? Inside the fundamentalist

00:04:50.360 Christian movement that wants to remake Canadian politics. Really? I mean, seriously? We've got 1.00

00:04:57.180 thousands, tens of thousands of pro-jihad extremists, most of them Muslim, marching in our city streets, 0.59

00:05:05.700 calling for violence. That's what an intifada revolution is. Calling to exterminate the Jews. 0.95

00:05:12.300 But the CBC's Trudeau hatchet man thinks a sleepy Christian church is the extremism problem in Canada. 0.98

00:05:18.520 Here's another one. I'm just picking these almost at random. How the American anti-LGBTQ hate machine

00:05:25.280 is posing a threat to Canadians. Hate machine. Is there a machine that says hate? Is that even a news 0.83

00:05:30.740 story or a news headline? These are editorial, these are tweets, really. They're extremist gossip

00:05:37.260 rebranded as investigations. Here's another one. It's on climate change. On climate change,

00:05:45.180 Quebec's parties propose leaving the hard work for future generations. Sorry, that's not an

00:05:51.400 investigation. That's an op-ed. And they're often bigoted and extremist. And they're all partisan.

00:05:58.440 The partisan takes pretending to be journalism. The one that was so bad that Montpetit called out on

00:06:04.880 it by his own company was this one that mentions Rebel News and other conservative media. Canada's

00:06:10.640 convoy movement waved the Dutch flag. Then conspiracy theories swirled about fertilizer and bugs.

00:06:19.420 Yeah, except it's not a conspiracy theory that the Canadian government wants us to eat bugs.

00:06:25.080 They say they do. And they're giving government grants of taxpayers' money to, for example,

00:06:31.020 there's a factory that produces insects as food, both for pets and for people. But here's the

00:06:37.620 headline, far-right media. Conservative politicians stoking misinformation about an early plan to cut

00:06:43.600 emissions, except it's not information. It is literally the stuff Trudeau brags about. It took me

00:06:49.380 about 30 seconds of investigation to find this press release on Google. This is literally the

00:06:54.780 statement put out by Trudeau's cabinet about the big insect farm that they are using your tax dollars

00:07:00.300 to support. I say insect farm because they want you to eat them. My point is Jonathan Montpetit isn't

00:07:07.380 actually investigating anyone or anything. Certainly he's not speaking truth to power. He's not

00:07:11.380 investigating the liberal government. He works for the government. He works for power,

00:07:14.880 smearing powers. Critics is a, you know, he calls them kooky or goofy conspiracy theories. He uses

00:07:21.040 the word misinformation, but only for Trudeau's enemies. See, Trudeau himself never says anything

00:07:26.100 false. And he and the CBC call himself an investigative reporter as he does it. I bet he wears a little

00:07:32.160 toy sheriff's badge too, because he's an investigator. He's not a smearer. No siree. It's like those fact

00:07:37.880 checkers who are just really opinion columnists, but they call themselves fact checkers to imply that

00:07:42.180 they're above the rest of the journalists who actually do journalism. Here's what the CBC's

00:07:47.580 own ombudsman said about that article by Montpetit calling everyone who hates, or who everyone he hates,

00:07:54.900 a disinformation. Here's what the ombudsman said. I will take this opportunity to stress to programmers

00:08:00.620 at CBC. They assume a great responsibility when they choose the huge terms such as misinformation

00:08:05.700 and disinformation in their stories. When they do so, they had better be right.

00:08:11.180 Because if it turns out down the road that the information proved to be correct, they can do

00:08:16.120 great damage to their reputation. As I often remind them, precision is key, and labels should be

00:08:23.260 employed with great caution. Sometimes it would be safer to say that there is no evidence for

00:08:29.460 something rather than proclaiming it to be false. I wonder why they didn't name Jonathan Montpetit in the

00:08:37.040 ombudsman report about his story. Anyways, Montpetit, Trudeau's hatchet man, was at it again today,

00:08:44.980 going after Trudeau's latest enemy, Elon Musk and Twitter, now known as X. It was a pretty boring,

00:08:53.380 extremely long, it was 2,000 word long story in the CBC that I think was actually written to please

00:08:59.960 Trudeau and his chief of staff, Katie Telford, more than actually get anyone normal to read it. But let's go

00:09:06.240 through it a bit. I want to show you the anatomy of a smear job, and I just printed it out. It's so long.

00:09:13.480 And by the way, it's huge. It's so American. It doesn't actually cite any Twitter users or any problems

00:09:22.540 in Canada or any experts in Canada. It really feels like they just downloaded the Democrat talking points

00:09:28.540 to take on Twitter. Let's just go through it. The headline, Bell Media, Angus Reid, and other

00:09:37.220 Canadian brands halt ads on X amid extremism concerns. Advertisers increasingly reticent since

00:09:45.700 Elon Musk took over platform a year ago. Okay, I'm excited. We're talking about extremism in Canada

00:09:50.920 in December 2023. So we're talking about jihadists, right? We're talking about people saying death to

00:09:57.060 the Jews, maybe the people behind the Molotov cocktail attacks and the shooting of the schools

00:10:01.600 and synagogues in Montreal. No, no, that's not the extremism concerns. The extremism concerns are

00:10:09.980 Jonathan Montpetit's extremism concerns. Pay no attention to the riots on the streets. Pay no attention

00:10:17.100 to people wearing machine gun earrings and saying Hamas did nothing wrong. That's not of interest

00:10:23.500 to Jonathan Montpetit, who has not done a single investigation into that. No, he knows where the

00:10:28.380 real extremism is. By the way, I've gone through this article, and he does, I mean, he's never

00:10:33.880 criticized radical Islam. He doesn't find them extreme, or if he does, he doesn't dare say it. But he

00:10:38.440 sure goes after the Jews, which again is a Trudeau kind of move. You'll see in the story ahead,

00:10:43.320 he talks about libs of TikTok, which is an account that basically just republishes some of the goofy

00:10:49.660 things that liberals say on TikTok, by the way. It's run by an Orthodox Jewish woman named Chaya

00:10:55.000 Rechik, Jewish. He attacks a Jewish YouTuber from the United Kingdom named Carl Benjamin, 0.80

00:11:03.200 sometimes known as Sargon of the Cat. He goes after Mike Cernovich, all of them foreign, 1.00

00:11:09.580 none of them extremist or racist in any way. They're just conservatives, but that's the extremism.

00:11:16.680 But I think the key lie in this, I've already told you the main lie in the article.

00:11:22.700 This was not an investigation by Jonathan Montpetit. That's not the essence of this story.

00:11:28.020 This was Jonathan Montpetit using his CBC letterhead to contact advertisers and basically,

00:11:33.740 in the guise of interviewing them, actually threaten them. I've seen this email before.

00:11:39.580 We see that you're advertising next to racist accounts. Will you cancel your advertising?

00:11:45.920 I'm doing a story on this. I need your reply in two hours. That's not actually journalism.

00:11:52.200 It pretends to be journalism, and the signature field in the email claims that Montpetit is a

00:11:56.880 journalist, but that's not journalism. That is pressing a company to, boy, that's making the news,

00:12:02.520 that's manufacturing the news, pressing an advertiser with false information ginned up by the CBC,

00:12:08.780 which is a competitor to Twitter. So CBC has two conflicts of interest. They're government-run,

00:12:14.320 so they run errands for Trudeau. And second of all, they're a competitor with Twitter. And so

00:12:18.320 this is not a news story. They have made the news, which is they have a couple of tweets that they

00:12:23.200 think are mean. They call up advertisers, and they basically say, we are going to embarrass you

00:12:29.440 in a story we're going to run tomorrow. You've got two hours to avow or disavow Elon Musk. And most of the

00:12:36.760 advertisers have been conflicted first. They say, okay, fine. Okay, fine. You're right. You're right.

00:12:40.420 We'll quit. Ta-da! You've just created the news story. That's not investigative journalism.

00:12:45.840 That's a shakedown. Look at the caption on the photo there. X, formerly known as Twitter,

00:12:53.860 amid the unchecked rise in hateful content. Is that true? Has there been an unchecked rise in

00:13:02.620 hateful content? Is there any source for that information? In fact, it's the opposite. Elon Musk

00:13:09.480 has shown that the number of hateful or bigoted or anti-Semitic tweets has declined. And it not only

00:13:16.560 has declined since he took over, but is lower than other social media apps. Not only did the

00:13:22.940 investigative journalist at the CBC not provide any facts, he provided disinformation. The fact is

00:13:29.840 that Twitter has far less hateful content than the other platforms, especially TikTok, which for some

00:13:35.660 reason the CBC itself continues to use. And by the way, the CBC is on Twitter. That's where I found this

00:13:40.600 story. I say again that this whole thing is being called an investigation by CBC News, but they really

00:13:47.100 didn't investigate, did they? They just called up advertisers and threatened them. And again and again

00:13:53.460 in this piece, they call Elon Musk an anti-Semite. You can see here Elon Musk's seeming endorsement of

00:14:00.880 anti-Semitic and other far-right conspiracy theories, but they don't actually name one.

00:14:06.780 I don't think Elon Musk is an anti-Semite at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's not. He went to Israel

00:14:12.600 recently and he toured the areas that were attacked by Hamas terrorists, and he actually met with a

00:14:18.140 family member of someone who was held hostage, who gave him a necklace with the names of the victim.

00:14:25.060 And Elon Musk has said he will wear that necklace, sort of like dog tags, until that person is free.

00:14:31.600 Justin Trudeau hasn't gone to Israel. Elon Musk did. Justin Trudeau hasn't stood in solidarity in that

00:14:38.360 manner with the victims of terrorism. He's actually run interference for the terrorists. Justin Trudeau

00:14:44.280 remains the only G7 leader who has not visited Israel out of solidarity, other than the Japanese

00:14:50.160 prime minister. I think this is the CBC projecting its own anti-Semitism. And the funny thing is they

00:14:55.620 never actually name what Elon Musk did that was anti-Semitic. But look at further down, they talk

00:15:03.180 about one of their experts, the Tech Transparency Project, a watchdog group. Okay, so we got investigative

00:15:11.820 reporters, we've got fact checkers, and we've got watchdogs. So that's your signal that you're not

00:15:17.360 supposed to look into who they are because they're better than you. Just like Jonathan Montpetit isn't

00:15:22.280 a mudslinger, you see, this is investigative journalism. So who is the Tech Transparency Project? 0.98

00:15:29.380 A watchdog group. Again, I did my own investigative journalism using a machine called Google,

00:15:35.920 and in less than 30 seconds I found their website and I found their About Us page for who pays for

00:15:42.660 them. And George Soros pays for them. And then Soros' mini-me, Pierre Omidyar, also an internet

00:15:50.940 censor, pays for them. So the CBC state broadcaster wants to gin up hatred for Elon Musk. They want to

00:16:00.160 call him a hater. But what's their source? They don't have, they're not a source themselves,

00:16:04.680 they didn't do any investigating themselves. They contracted out their journalism to George

00:16:09.740 Soros, who has a bit of an adversity with Elon Musk, but they didn't disclose that. Jonathan

00:16:16.060 Montpetit quoted the Tech Transparency Report Project, but it's not very transparent, is it?

00:16:22.080 Don't you think it's relevant that the CBC is quoting George Soros in an attack on Elon Musk,

00:16:28.340 but doesn't tell you it's quoting George Soros? Jonathan Montpetit didn't do his investigative

00:16:32.780 journalism, or rather, of course he did. He just hid that fact from viewers. The next paragraph,

00:16:38.160 in addition, Samsung ads were spotted in the feeds of libs of TikTok, which LGBTQ advocates say

00:16:47.920 stirs up anti-trans hatred. Okay, so you yourself don't have any facts, but someone who you don't name,

00:16:56.120 LGBTQ advocates, you don't say who they are, say that libs of TikTok, which is run by a Jewish woman,

00:17:04.000 stirs up hate. You don't have any proof of it. You don't actually mention anyone you say.

00:17:08.680 Didn't we just read the ombudsman telling Jonathan Montpetit that he has a duty to be precise

00:17:15.720 and not just name call and smear? I think it's pretty obvious that Jonathan Montpetit doesn't

00:17:21.700 listen to any executive at the CBC. He only listens to what the PMO tells him to do.

00:17:30.240 Samsung's Canadian office did not respond to several emails sent by CBC News requesting comment.

00:17:35.880 They weren't requesting comment. They were demanding action. If Samsung didn't immediately

00:17:41.980 cancel their ad campaign, the CBC would smear them, as they just did. I'll scooch down a little bit.

00:17:49.540 Pathways Alliance, which they're going after some oil and gas companies, had ads appear in Carl

00:17:55.660 Benjamin's feet. Benjamin has been kicked off other social media platforms in the past for making

00:18:02.720 racist and misogynist comments. Now, first of all, Carl Benjamin himself is Jewish. And second of all,

00:18:08.520 I think I'm familiar with the instance, and it was a joke he told. But again, the CBC calls him a

00:18:15.740 hater, does not give you, the viewer, the information, does not cite what he was kicked

00:18:21.380 off for. This is in violation of what the ombudsman just told this little liar to do. But 0.92

00:18:27.120 the thing about liars is they don't really respond to calls to tell the truth because otherwise they

00:18:32.400 wouldn't be liars. Jonathan Montpetit is Justin Trudeau's most reliable liar at the CBC. And to hell 0.88

00:18:39.380 with what the ombudsman says and to hell with any journalism ethics. They're going to call him an

00:18:43.300 investigative reporter for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. But there really isn't any Canadian

00:18:48.200 content here at all, is there? They're citing foreign experts and foreign donors and foreign

00:18:53.720 websites about foreign companies like Samsung. But this is what the CBC gets 1.5 billion taxpayers

00:18:59.880 dollars for a year. What's funny, my favorite part of the story is that the B'nai B'rith, which is one of

00:19:07.060 the pro-Israel, pro-Jewish lobby groups, community groups in Canada, it's actually over 100 years old.

00:19:12.820 They call themselves Canada's oldest civil liberties group. They refuse to quit Twitter just because the

00:19:19.580 CBC tries to bully them. I think the B'nai B'rith is a little bit tired of the CBC. And they're probably

00:19:25.180 confused about why the CBC is going after the B'nai B'rith and going after Elon Musk instead of going

00:19:31.220 after the actual hate in this country. But then again, the actual anti-hate network that is funded by Trudeau is

00:19:37.900 being pretty silent in the last two months too. I just want to quote from Michael Mostyn, the CEO of

00:19:44.660 B'nai B'rith, who said, despite his organization's concerns about anti-Semitism on social media, it had

00:19:49.460 no plans to stop advertising on X. That's what they call Twitter now. B'nai B'rith has made a conscious

00:19:55.720 decision to remain on social media, he said in an interview. And the funny thing is, so has the CBC. So has

00:20:04.320 Jonathan Monpetit. Why is the CBC still on such a hateful platform? It's a bit weird, eh? For the CBC and their

00:20:14.020 hate journalist Jonathan Monpetit to be on Twitter telling other companies to get off Twitter. It's almost like they don't

00:20:20.320 mean it. I just want to read one more. They went after Bell Media, of course. They're trying to shake

00:20:25.220 down all the advertisers. Bell Media suspended advertising on X after it was informed that an

00:20:33.280 ad for a subsidiary, the news division of Quebec TV network Nouveau, appeared in the feet of the far

00:20:39.840 right fitness leader. And they're not really clear of which far right fitness leader they're referring

00:20:47.140 to. I don't know who they mean. Is there a far right way of being physically fit? I don't know.

00:20:53.920 The ad appeared over a post that called journalists priests of ruin and featured the slogan, 1.00

00:21:00.900 all journos are bastards. Well, I would stop for a second and say that doesn't make you right-wing 0.99

00:21:06.840 to hate journalists. It makes you Canadian. I think most Canadians don't trust journalists and

00:21:12.520 smear assassination attempts like this are the reason why. But again, look at the devious and

00:21:18.420 deceptive language. Bell Media suspended advertising on X after it was informed. That's the passive voice.

00:21:26.680 It's like saying mistakes were made. By whom? What mistakes? Bell Media canceled their ads after it was

00:21:36.900 informed. By whom? And what did that information say? Wasn't Jonathan Mompentee just emailing them

00:21:44.200 and telling them that if they didn't quit, he'd do a story about him, was it? See, the CBC is not a

00:21:49.620 neutral player of the game here. They are a party to the story. They are a stalking horse for Justin

00:21:55.680 Trudeau. The laugh is they call rebel news activists, and sometimes we are, while they themselves have taken

00:22:01.440 it upon themselves to be part of the ad boycott, to instigate an ad boycott against Elon Musk. But they

00:22:08.160 don't have the courage to admit it's in their, uh, that they themselves did it. Bell Media was informed.

00:22:13.360 Passive Tense was informed. They were informed by you. How unethical can you get? Let me skip ahead where

00:22:20.800 Mompentee says social media users from TikTok to X are being exposed to a deluge of different

00:22:27.440 Islamophobic and anti-Semitic tropes. Is that a fact, the Islamophobia? I know Trudeau says

00:22:33.600 that all the time, but is there really a rise of Islamophobia in Canada? Have you seen any anti-Muslim

00:22:38.480 hate marches? Have you seen people throwing Molotov cocktails at mosques or shooting at mosques or

00:22:44.720 tearing down pictures of kidnapped Muslims? Have you seen any of that? Because I haven't, but Trudeau says

00:22:52.000 it and the CBC says it again without proof. They just assert it. But let me finish the sentence.

00:22:58.400 Social media users are being exposed to a deluge of different Islamophobic and anti-Semitic tropes,

00:23:05.200 some of them perpetuated by people like Elon Musk, the owner of X. And again, they don't have any

00:23:12.000 examples of that. But where is, so they mentioned TikTok in passing. So where's the investigation

00:23:18.960 of TikTok? You'd think it would be a very sexy target. It's the number one app for young people

00:23:24.080 in the world. It's absolutely got young people obsessed. It's controlled by the government of

00:23:31.200 China. And by every measure, it really is a tornado of hate and transgenderism and pro-Hamasism. 0.99

00:23:39.200 So where's the investigation into that? Well, in the same place that Jonathan Montpetit's investigation

00:23:45.440 into extremist mosques is. It doesn't exist. This is not an investigative piece. This is an attack

00:23:52.400 against Elon Musk. And it's almost completely done through foreign sources, foreign experts,

00:24:02.080 foreign people they cite. They make another citation later in the article, the global project against

00:24:09.760 hate and extremism. And how do they describe that expert source? A non-profit that monitors

00:24:16.400 far-right activity and has worked with Twitter in the past. Okay, so do they follow far-left activity?

00:24:23.200 Do they follow extremism on the left like Antifa? No, that's just not interesting and not newsworthy.

00:24:29.200 Again, 30 seconds worth of Googling and you can see that they're funded. And they're alumni of the

00:24:35.600 George Soros funded Southern Poverty Law Center. Again, not a Canadian source, but again, the money

00:24:41.920 going back to Soros. It's so crazy that the people who tell you George Soros is definitely not into any

00:24:48.080 conspiracy, so he's definitely not the boogeyman the right says he is. All of their sources are Soros

00:24:53.680 funded and none of them are disclosed. I'll just read a little bit more because it's getting boring.

00:24:59.040 This whole article is quite boring. On November 15th, Musk endorsed an anti-Semitic conspiracy

00:25:04.640 theory drawing widespread condemnation, including from the White House. Which one? Can I see the

00:25:09.920 conspiracy theory? I can't because I'm not allowed to see it. I have to take the CBC's word for it. Now,

00:25:16.560 maybe it is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, or maybe I just have to believe this serial liar who's 0.96

00:25:22.080 already been called out on it by his bosses. I'll just read one last. I think I think the lawyers 0.91

00:25:28.560 probably added this at the bottom of the article. These companies and organizations were not the only

00:25:34.320 ones whose ads appeared in the feeds of extremist accounts. I guess Chaya Raychik of the Jew behind 0.99

00:25:41.680 Libs of TikTok is an extremist now. CBC News also revealed several hashtags and extremist accounts on X

00:25:48.640 that contain no ads at all. Oh, so just throw that in. But we don't have the information.

00:25:53.360 They don't publish their work. They don't show how many tweets they went through or how many times

00:25:57.440 they had to search and search again to get just the perfect snapshot of all this hate.

00:26:02.160 Look, you just can't trust the CBC. They are a state broadcaster in the worst sense of that word.

00:26:08.960 And you have to pay for it. They hate you. They lie to you. Here's their chief mudslinger, 1.00

00:26:16.240 Jonathan Montpetit, who was actually being called on the carpet before for doing exactly this,

00:26:21.520 for not being precise, for smearing Trudeau's enemies, for not giving viewers the information.

00:26:27.120 He was just called out on this like a month ago, and he's back doing it because he doesn't answer to

00:26:33.120 the readers, and he doesn't answer to journalistic ethics, and he certainly doesn't answer to some

00:26:38.080 toothless ombudsman at the CBC. He knows who signs his paycheck every two weeks.

00:26:44.720 Justin Trudeau. And it shows. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:26:49.360 Hey, welcome back. Well, the UN Framework Commission on Climate Change, if I've got that right,

00:27:04.320 that's a fancy way of saying the UN Global Warming Conference, is wrapping up in Dubai,

00:27:10.320 in the United Arab Emirates. There's a lot of interesting things about that. The first is that

00:27:15.120 the Emirates, of course, is a fossil fuel superpower in a fossil fuel region. It's near Saudi Arabia and

00:27:23.680 Iran and Qatar and all these oil and gas rich regimes. And as you may know, the United Arab Emirates

00:27:31.760 has become famous in recent years for its international airlines. Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai. These are not

00:27:40.400 enormous places population-wise, but each of them have enormous airlines. You've probably heard of

00:27:47.760 Emirates Airlines based in Dubai or Etihad in Abu Dhabi or Qatar Air. These are some of the largest

00:27:54.400 airlines in the world, some of the most successful, and obviously some of the most long-range flights

00:28:00.720 span the whole world connecting through their capital cities. I should tell you, having recently

00:28:06.240 been in the United Arab Emirates, that nothing in that place moves without fossil fuels. For one thing,

00:28:12.640 it's in the middle of the desert. When I was there earlier this summer, it was in the mid-40s Celsius.

00:28:19.360 That's extremely hot, and everything is air-conditioned. In other words, as our friend Alex Epstein says,

00:28:28.320 it's not climate change, it's climate mastery. Through fossil fuels, they have been able to master

00:28:36.080 the desert, use energy to desalinate the sea for drinking water, and cool it so people can live and

00:28:42.800 travel. It's actually a city that would be impossible with fossil fuels. So what an ironic destination

00:28:49.840 for the COP meeting, conference of the parties, which is what they call these UN climate gatherings.

00:28:55.600 Now, early in the summit, the chair of the conference said, look, fossil fuels aren't going

00:29:01.520 away any time in the near future, and that caused a bit of a ruckus. That was his point of view, but

00:29:07.520 inside, tens of thousands of delegates were talking about just that, banning fossil fuels. I understand

00:29:14.480 it was actually one of the largest UN global warming conferences ever in terms of the count of delegates,

00:29:20.720 and why not? Who wouldn't want to go to Dubai? It's like Vegas in Arabia. Well, one of our friends

00:29:27.680 was there, and he was there to critique, not to support. He is, I think, the leading watchdog in

00:29:35.840 the free world when it comes to what's going on at these global warming conferences. I'm pleased to be

00:29:40.560 joined now by our friend Mark Morano of ClimateDepot.com, who just got back from Dubai. Mark, great to see

00:29:46.320 you again. Thank you, Ezra. Appreciate it. And I might add, I am a big believer and fan of Dubai and

00:29:53.360 that city. I mean, it reminded me there's no crime, beautiful architecture, no crumbling infrastructure,

00:30:01.520 safe, no homeless, no needles, kids running around 10 o'clock at night, their parents could be a block

00:30:08.160 away. It's just a model city. It reminds me of what Western cities could actually achieve

00:30:15.680 when they don't let the woke agenda get in the way of, we need the needles for the drug addicts. 1.00

00:30:21.120 We need the homeless park over here. We need the homeless encampments. We're not going to spend the

00:30:27.360 money on infrastructure. It is probably the prettiest city I've ever been to, a marvel of both economics

00:30:34.240 and architecture. I, you know, I long for that in the Western world, whether it's Canada, the US is

00:30:39.920 an amazing city. And would you agree with me? And I think you would, that it is all based on heavy

00:30:46.080 industry, fossil fuels, steel, which can only be made by coal. Like it is a kind of city that Ayn Rand's

00:30:55.280 novels would be written about. That's what I thought of. Yeah. In fact, I went up the longest,

00:30:59.520 the tallest building in the world and that amazing fee. It takes you one minute to go 144 stories to

00:31:05.360 the top. And it's, it reminds me of what say the United States, the 1950s, the idea of just that

00:31:13.520 uninhibited economic growth without all this, you know, there's no agenda like, oh, you know,

00:31:20.480 we got to have massive, endless environmental impact statements and bureaucratic and what's the

00:31:25.360 carbon footprint. No, they're building stuff because it's the right thing. And it's just

00:31:30.560 unbridled. I hate to say unbridled because you think of unbridled capitalism, which apparently is

00:31:34.720 a negative term, but unbridled development that I just wish the West would once again embrace.

00:31:40.080 We're going the opposite way. Everything is going to be about limits, austerity, regulations and cutting

00:31:46.640 back. Whereas I got to tell you, the United Arab Emirates did not get that memo. And as you mentioned,

00:31:51.920 the cop president didn't get it because he, he, he ridiculed the UN. Actually, the cop president

00:31:58.880 was from the United Arab Emirates, Al Jaber, Sultan Al Jaber. And he literally said there was no science

00:32:05.600 to support the net zero, 1.5 degrees Celsius. You can lead by example. And like I said,

00:32:10.480 from the beginning, I accepted to come to this, to this meeting to have a sober and a mature conversation.

00:32:18.560 We do not, I'm not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. I am here factual

00:32:23.120 and I respect the science. And there is no science out there or no scenario out there that says that

00:32:30.640 the phase out of fossil fuel is what's going to achieve 1.5. 1.5 is my North Star. And a phase down

00:32:39.280 and a phase out of fossil fuel, in my view, is inevitable. It is essential, but we need to be

00:32:46.000 real, serious and pragmatic about it.

00:32:49.240 But the real serious and pragmatic doesn't take into account that we are in. I mean, I, I respect

00:32:57.160 that you've done a lot of hard work preparing for this cop and that you've listened to the science.

00:33:01.880 The science is very acute now. We don't have any time. They say six or seven years. We've got to peak

00:33:08.680 by 2025 the latest in fossil fuel. And your company is investing in a lot more new fossil fuel. And that's,

00:33:16.680 that's, that's, that's going to hurt women. 1.00

00:33:19.640 Ma'am, you've, you've just accused me of something that is not correct. I'm sorry, I don't take it.

00:33:25.800 Now, I ask you to prove to me how-

00:33:27.640 I read that your company is, is investing in a lot more fossil fuel in the future.

00:33:31.960 Yes, ma'am, you're reading, you're reading your own media, which is biased and wrong. I am telling you,

00:33:36.920 I am the man in charge and it is wrong, ma'am. You need to listen to me, please.

00:33:40.680 I'm very, I'm very pleased to hear it. I'm very pleased to hear it.

00:33:43.480 It is wrong. You guys write a lie and you believe it.

00:33:47.480 And he's right. You know how we know, right? The UN scientists admitted it. It was in the

00:33:52.120 Climategate emails, Ezra. They said it was pulled from thin air. It's a political goal. The whole

00:33:57.080 idea of the two degree or 1.5 degrees Celsius. So he was way ahead of it. Of course, he was vilified

00:34:02.760 by the media and he ended up, his spokesman started it backtracking. He backtracked,

00:34:07.960 tried to act like it didn't happen. They had to, they had to go with the narrative in the end. So

00:34:11.960 sadly, he backed away, but, but there was a moment of truth that was nice.

00:34:15.960 Isn't that interesting? I want to say one more thing about the United Arab Emirates

00:34:19.160 before we really dig into the conference, which is there are no pro Hamas riots or rallies or hate

00:34:25.640 marches in the streets there. In fact, I saw an image the other day of them lighting a Hanukkah

00:34:30.520 menorah in the United Arab Emirates. And that's a way in which the UAE is superior to even our own 1.00

00:34:38.040 cities in the West where these anti-Semitic hate marches are on the prowl. That's just a personal

00:34:42.680 observation on my part, but let's get back. I'll also add there was a lot of nativity scenes set

00:34:47.720 up. I'm sorry, not nativity scenes, Christmas trees, Christmas scenes, no nativity scenes and no

00:34:52.440 crucifixes, but everywhere you went was Christmas steam. So they're open for that. And one last point,

00:34:58.040 even if you look it up, LGDPQ marriage, you know, people say, oh, it's a repressive Muslim 1.00

00:35:03.320 dictatorship. No, even that, even the worst critics have very little to say. They have a lot of old

00:35:08.280 laws, which apparently aren't enforced. So it's not like they're jailing and imprisoning that I was

00:35:12.920 able to see or even research. It really is an amazing city that the West could learn a lot from.

00:35:20.200 Well, we're both fans of Dubai. And I think, I mean, you tell me, if I'm not mistaken, this was the

00:35:27.640 largest turnout for any of these conference of the parties. And I can understand why. First of all,

00:35:32.200 the city can handle it. Dubai has the infrastructure for it. It's got the air

00:35:37.240 connections. I just mentioned how Emirates, one of the largest airlines in the world, is based in

00:35:40.840 Dubai. But everyone wants to go. Everyone has heard about Dubai, seen the Burj Khalifa,

00:35:46.280 the tallest building in the world, seen the buzz. So who wouldn't want to go? And that's one of the

00:35:52.120 things about these annual UN conventions is that it's like a annual reunion of all the fancy people,

00:35:57.880 the diplomats, the bureaucrats, the lobbyists, the politicians, the press. They, you know,

00:36:02.280 they go from exciting city to exciting city. And Dubai is one of the most exciting cities in the

00:36:06.360 world. Like I say, one of the most carbon intensive cities in the world. But hey, they don't care.

00:36:10.680 They're going for their fancy trips, luxury hotels. So tell me what they were talking about while they

00:36:16.840 were scolding, while they were enjoying the fruits of carbon intensive energy. Tell me what some of

00:36:24.840 their kooky ideas were. And I don't know if you had an eye on Stephen Gilboa, Canada's environment

00:36:30.280 minister. I don't think he's a player anywhere around the world. I don't think really anyone takes

00:36:35.000 him seriously. Only in Canada, he thinks he's sort of a big deal. He recently had to pay us $20,000 for

00:36:41.800 blocking us on Twitter. I don't know if you followed that whole shenanigans. I did say that. Yes, I did.

00:36:46.680 So let me know if Gilboa showed up on anyone's radar. But why don't you tell me some of the

00:36:52.360 highlights and lowlights of the past week? Well, this summit, I call it the Great Reset Summit.

00:36:57.240 It's building on what they were doing last year in Egypt, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

00:37:04.360 This summit began right before with two important things. Number one, 200 medical journals urged

00:37:10.680 the World Health Organization to declare climate part of a public health emergency. Number two,

00:37:17.000 UN delegates signed onto a letter against natural gas for the Western world, particularly the United

00:37:21.720 States. It opened with a call to phase out all new coal production. This was endorsed by Al Gore,

00:37:29.560 by John Kerry. And this was pretty frightening because coal is the most strategic of all the energy

00:37:35.960 sources. A country with coal in the United States, of course, is the Saudi Arabia of coal.

00:37:40.760 You have your own domestic supply that doesn't require any kind of importing and begging

00:37:48.440 hostile regimes or even friendly neighbors for any of your energy. They're going after what would be

00:37:54.200 considered the ultimate national sovereignty energy source. And we're giving it away. It's not like the

00:38:00.360 UN is imposing it on us. We're begging the UN to include this in their treaty. And when I say begging,

00:38:05.960 I mean the entire US delegation. Then you had Kamala Harris, our vice president of the United States,

00:38:11.400 come and pledge from tens of millions that the Biden administration has given to this UN climate

00:38:15.960 slush fund to $3 billion plus. What is the UN climate fund? It is literally the United Nations picking

00:38:23.640 the poor nation's leaders, dictators in many cases in Africa or South America,

00:38:28.120 who are best able to keep their citizens locked in poverty. They're the leaders who are going to get

00:38:33.880 the most of the UN climate fund because they're doing a good job. They're making Mother Earth smile

00:38:38.920 by socialist policies, by authoritarian policies that crush economic growth, crush energy development.

00:38:45.800 And they're the ones that are going to get this money. And so it's the white, wealthy Western world's

00:38:49.880 way funneling money through the UN to keep people of color in the developing world locked in poverty so that

00:38:56.600 we can have, you know, the Earth will smile at us. And in addition, Financial Times critically reported

00:39:04.120 about this conference, because Ezra, one of the other themes of this conference was a radical expansion

00:39:08.360 of the carbon offsetting programs. Well, these offsetting programs, according to the Financial Times,

00:39:14.200 again, not, you know, some obscure publication, were locking up land from wealthy nations through their

00:39:19.960 emissaries, locking up up to 25% per nation in the poorest nations in Africa, locking up 25% of the land,

00:39:28.600 so that they, so that white, wealthy Westerners in Europe and the US can pat themselves on the back and

00:39:33.560 say they're buying offsets. They're not allowing the poor nations to develop their own and have access

00:39:39.400 to their own natural resources. That was just for openers of where this conference began, Ezra.

00:39:44.360 Well, let me ask you a question, because I've been looking at opinion polls very deeply in Canada,

00:39:48.600 but also in the United States too. And I feel like public opinion is shifting on a number of issues,

00:39:55.800 shifting towards taking care of number one, as in, can we afford groceries? Can we afford cost of living?

00:40:01.960 Can we afford, in Canada, housing is in a crisis. Houses in Canada are twice as expensive,

00:40:07.800 proportionately, as in the United States. You can imagine how difficult it is for young people to get

00:40:12.760 into that first house. It really is something. And I see there's fatigue in the United States with,

00:40:19.080 for example, funding the war in Ukraine. And you add all these things together and people,

00:40:25.160 I think that if we're not in a recession officially, we're as good as in a recession.

00:40:30.840 I think inflation is making it hard for people to live. And what I've seen in polls in both countries,

00:40:38.120 especially in Canada, is that climate change as an unprompted priority is extremely low.

00:40:46.520 I don't have a particular poll in mind, but typically the first three items are all costs of

00:40:51.000 living. Housing prices, grocery prices, inflation, which is all describing the same thing, really.

00:40:56.600 And you have to go much, much lower before someone says, oh, I care about climate change, because

00:41:00.920 it was just sort of a luxury item that you would say you cared about that to virtue signal when

00:41:06.760 everything else in your life was going well. But when things in your life are not going well,

00:41:11.160 you don't talk about that. So my question to you is, given what I think is a souring of the mood

00:41:19.480 in North America and a lot of European parts too, Geert Wilders, who won the Dutch elections a couple of

00:41:26.440 weeks ago, his number one issue is stopping mass immigration. His number two issue was stopping

00:41:33.560 you know, taxes, carbon taxes, nitrogen taxes. So I think everywhere I look, people are sort of

00:41:39.240 saying that whole carbon tax, global warming thing, it is not important to us right now.

00:41:45.160 Is that reflected in any way in the conference you just attended?

00:41:49.240 Yes, but you're not going to like the answer. It absolutely is. And this is why, Ezra, the UK

00:41:56.280 Guardian a few days ago had an exclusive article of the United Nations IPCC climate scientists now

00:42:05.640 wanting, instead of being an advisory role like they've been since 1988 when the panel was formed,

00:42:11.000 they want the power to implement policy. They're no fools. They know what happened with COVID. They were 0.55

00:42:18.840 jealous about what happened in COVID, all the stuff they had wanted for years they could never get

00:42:23.080 through democracy. And they realized they got it all, the same policies were imposed upon the public

00:42:29.320 in COVID, during COVID, lockdowns and vaccine mandates, etc. And so what they're now doing,

00:42:35.400 and I think it's a direct recognition of everything you just said, they know even recent polling right

00:42:39.640 before that showed the American public doesn't buy the climate change scare anymore and they're not

00:42:44.280 willing to spend money on it. They know that that's why they want to bypass democracy. And that is why 0.69

00:42:51.800 they want to make this, the 200 journals want to make it a medical issue. And then you have IPCC

00:42:56.440 scientists, I call them now science dictators, literally openly with their names put to quotes,

00:43:03.080 according to the UK Guardian saying, we no longer want to be an advisory role. We want to implement

00:43:08.040 policy. We want to be able to impose these because we're in a climate emergency, direct copy from

00:43:14.760 COVID. So yes, they are aware of it, Ezra, and they are trying to go about it. And we also had the horror

00:43:21.480 of during this conference, CNN Travel posted an article basically saying that travel is coming to an end,

00:43:30.040 we got to stop tourism, and we need, quote, carbon passports. Not making that up carbon passports

00:43:37.080 in order to limit people's travel. And at the same summit, Ezra, they had people, I went to the

00:43:43.320 fashion. Yeah, I'm the official Rebel TV fashion correspondent now. They had red carpets, they had

00:43:48.600 multiple sustainable clothing events. I interviewed exclusive interview with the fashion maven there

00:43:54.520 asking about this C40s report about limiting people by 2030 to three new items of clothing

00:43:59.960 per person per year. This was, of course, funded by Mayor Bloomberg, by Ikea, by Google. And the

00:44:07.080 answer that the UN representatives gave was, well, it depends. If you get basically cockroach or some

00:44:13.400 kind of organic hemp clothing, you can get more than three items a year. But if you're getting any

00:44:18.200 synthetic fabric, you're not going to be allowed. They know that they are coming and they are doubling down

00:44:23.720 on these restrictions. They're calling daily, they were calling for a phase out of all fossil fuel

00:44:29.880 fuels globally. So they know the window's closing and they know there's blowback and they're doubling

00:44:35.400 down using the COVID model. You know, I'm glad you were there doing these interviews and we'll have

00:44:39.560 to keep an eye peeled for when you publish those and we'll perhaps embed them on our website.

00:44:44.920 As you know, Mark, as we've seen you there, we have attended a great number of these global warming

00:44:50.120 conferences over the years. However, the UN, at the request of the Liberal government, has banned

00:44:55.720 Rebel News from being formally accredited. Now, that doesn't stop us. We go and report from the

00:45:02.200 outside. We report from the alternative events. That's our style. We're sort of guerrilla citizen

00:45:07.800 journalists like we did with Albert Bourla at the World Economic Forum. Trouble is, you can do that in

00:45:13.160 Switzerland. That's where we got Albert Bourla, because Switzerland is a free country and the police are

00:45:18.360 very respectful of civil liberties. However, this year in Dubai, last year in Egypt, next year in

00:45:25.240 Azerbaijan, those are partly free countries. Now, you and I just praised United Arab Emirates at

00:45:31.640 great length, but the kind of guerrilla journalism that we do is actually not permitted in the United

00:45:38.200 Arab Emirates. And so this is the second year in a row we could not attend because we would be

00:45:45.720 arrested. And I don't think Azerbaijan, I haven't looked into it closely, I don't think Azerbaijan is

00:45:50.840 is a free country by any stretch. So I just want to explain to our viewers why we're not there,

00:45:56.760 because we would be arrested and we were told in Egypt we would be jailed. And I certainly didn't

00:46:02.040 want to put our journalists in that position. I will have more to say on the credentials issue later

00:46:09.320 this year when we seek legal remedy. Anyway, I just wanted to explain to our viewers why we ourselves

00:46:14.600 were not there. It's because we need the accreditation to exist in those countries,

00:46:19.640 whereas we don't need that accreditation to be in free countries where we've been recently.

00:46:24.600 Hey, last question for you, Mark, and thanks for letting me just explain myself.

00:46:29.720 In the past, there have been good guys or sort of good guys at these conferences. When Donald Trump was

00:46:35.080 president, the United States took a very different approach when Stephen Harper was prime minister.

00:46:40.840 Is there any world leader or any delegation that's speaking truth to power? I don't know what

00:46:48.120 Hungary's delegation says. I can guess based on the, you know, Hungary first orientation of Viktor Orban,

00:46:56.040 is there any country that was standing up for its citizens, for free use of energy,

00:47:02.680 for common sense and science? Are there any good guys here?

00:47:06.920 Well, the closest good guy, and again, kind of ironic, is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is being 0.98

00:47:12.760 vilified, led in a New York Times article, for trying to block a global deal to end fossil fuel.

00:47:19.000 So they're doing it, they're not necessarily doing it out loud and pumping their chest,

00:47:23.320 but they're inside essentially trying to torpedo all of this utter virtue-signaling nonsense with real

00:47:29.320 effects. So I hate to say it, but kudos goes to Saudi Arabia right now, which we're going to end up

00:47:34.360 all being dependent on our oil because they're the only ones who won't be shutting down due to the

00:47:38.760 UN climate deal.

00:47:39.800 Isn't that ironic? Well, listen, Mark, it's great to catch up with you. I'm glad you're back safe and

00:47:43.000 sound. And hopefully next year, we will be there in Azerbaijan with you. We just need that credentialing

00:47:50.040 that Trudeau has been personally blocking. All right, folks, stay with us. More ahead.

00:48:04.680 Boy, the CBC, eh? I mean, they're just acting like this is their final battle. I mean,

00:48:10.360 they have an atrocious CEO who... Did you see this clip the other day? They announced 600 layoffs right

00:48:16.760 before Christmas, which is very nice of them. And the president refuses to say she won't give

00:48:20.760 herself a bonus. And I see in La Presse today that she just flew off on a junket to Australia.

00:48:26.200 She just fired 600 people. And then she went on a junket to Australia. Just look at this clip

00:48:31.400 the other day with Adrian Arsenault. Just curious about something. I'm going to

00:48:34.840 presume no bonuses this year. I mean, the Canadian taxpayer federation said a freedom of information

00:48:39.880 request showed 16 million were paid in bonuses in 2022. Can we establish that that is

00:48:45.560 not happening this year? It's too early to say where we are for this year. We'll be looking at

00:48:51.800 that like we do all our line items in the coming months. So there's a chance bonuses could still

00:48:58.200 happen at a time when jobs are being cut? Again, I'm not going to comment on something that hasn't

00:49:03.640 been discussed at this point, so. Yeah, the CBC, they're so gross. They know they're in deep trouble. 0.99

00:49:09.160 Their own staff hate them, by the way. So they know their only chance is to have Trudeau reelected. So

00:49:14.360 they're going to do anything they can. Their main enemy, of course, is Pierre Polyev. He's on the

00:49:18.120 ballot. But Polyev's main opportunity is social media and especially through Twitter. That's why

00:49:23.240 they're trying to demonize Twitter. Anyways, here's a couple of letters to the editor from my interview

00:49:29.160 with Sheila. SuperluckyTA says, I have great respect for Danielle Smith. She is an honest person

00:49:35.800 who cares about the normal development of Canada, not just Alberta. Well, I think you're right. I think

00:49:41.000 she is pro-Canada, but her job is to be pro-Alberta, even if that puts her at odds with other provinces,

00:49:48.760 which it generally does not, or with the federal government, which it often does. And this is by

00:49:52.920 nature. If you've ever looked at the Constitution Act, which used to be called the British North

00:49:58.680 America Act in 1867, the law that basically set up Canada, Section 91 and Section 92, not to get too

00:50:07.560 technical, outlined the different powers that the feds had and that the provinces had. So for example,

00:50:13.880 under Section 91, those are the federal powers. That would be like the criminal law.

00:50:18.120 So that's why we have one criminal code for the entire country, not a different one province by

00:50:23.000 province. In the United States, that's a little bit different. Obviously, currency, international

00:50:29.400 matters like telecommunications, for example, and pipelines and railways. On the provincial side,

00:50:36.600 you have more local affairs like hospitals and schools. Anyway, I don't mean to get too technical

00:50:42.040 there. My only point is that by design, the powers of the government are split up. So by nature,

00:50:49.240 you're going to see the feds in the province clashing over who has the authority to do certain

00:50:54.840 things, the environment being a great example. Is that a federal jurisdiction? Is it a provincial

00:51:00.120 matter? So it is normal for a premier to fight against the feds. And that doesn't mean they're

00:51:06.920 unpatriotic. In fact, it might mean they're being very patriotic and very loyal to the Constitution.

00:51:11.960 Don't mind me for a little trip down BNA Act lane. It's now called the Constitution Act of 1867.

00:51:19.320 Next letter, on my interview with Sheila regarding Elon Musk, Sean DeLapp 8587 says,

00:51:26.600 Elon Musk reinstating Alex Jones to Twitter is the best thing that he's ever done.

00:51:31.720 I think that might be overstating it. I'm glad of it because, you know, I don't know if I ever told

00:51:36.680 you this story. We were briefly assigned a manager, you know, minder, babysitter by YouTube who allegedly was

00:51:45.640 going to help us. She did not help us at all. But she was like a human liaison with YouTube,

00:51:51.880 so we didn't just have to fill out forms online. And I asked her once if there was ever a path back

00:51:59.160 for someone once they were banned from YouTube. Like, is it a life sentence? Or if someone did something

00:52:06.040 wrong or dumb or neither wrong nor dumb, but just against YouTube's weird rules, could they ever come

00:52:12.360 back? Was there parole or probation or second chance? Was there redemption? And the answer was no. 0.61

00:52:22.520 The answer was no, absolutely not. And I do think that's the only time in history

00:52:28.040 that liberals or leftists believed in a life sentence for anything.

00:52:30.760 Because they know the people they're banning are the people they actually hate,

00:52:35.640 conservatives, skeptics, non-conformists, populists, people like Alex Jones.

00:52:41.080 So it is wonderful to see him reinstated, our old friend and alumnus Tommy Robinson reinstated.

00:52:48.200 And I think it's good. Now, you say it's the smartest thing Elon Musk ever did.

00:52:52.200 I'd have to ask you by what measure, because I bet you that that will end up costing

00:52:56.760 Musk tens of millions of dollars in ads being pulled by Democrat-oriented ad agencies,

00:53:05.400 being pressured by agitating advocates like Jonathan Montpetit of the CBC. So it probably

00:53:12.120 felt pretty good for Elon Musk to do it, but it'll hurt him in the pocket. But good news

00:53:16.680 is he's the world's richest man. And as you heard him say the other day, he just doesn't care

00:53:22.200 if advertisers are trying to blackmail him. Well, that's our show for today. Until tomorrow,

00:53:27.960 on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night,

00:53:31.080 good night. And keep fighting for freedom.
