Rebel News Podcast - Liberals drop star candidate Imam Hassan Guillet months after party warned of anti-Semitic comments

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. I look at the curious case of Hassan Gyeh today. That's the Muslim imam who was

00:00:06.620 the nominated liberal candidate in Montreal until someone just did a little Google search and saw

00:00:10.980 all his craze, anti-Semitic craziness, like saying Jews, retweeting and Facebooking a guy who says

00:00:18.960 Jews bake matzah with the blood of Gentile children. You know, crazy stuff like that. 1.00

00:00:25.920 So he apparently passed the liberal vetting. I'll get right to that, and I think you'll like

00:00:56.560 because we don't take a dime from the government. That's for darn sure. Okay, here's today's show.

00:01:01.980 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.

00:01:05.200 Tonight, how is the media party covering the election campaign? It's September 3rd,

00:01:09.860 and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:13.720 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:17.160 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:21.480 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my

00:01:26.080 bloody right to do so.

00:01:32.320 Did you see the story about the Muslim extremists that the liberals nominated as their candidate 0.71

00:01:36.660 in Quebec? The facts were brought to light by a Jewish civil rights group called B'nai B'rith.

00:01:41.800 They published this story, B'nai B'rith seeks disqualification of liberal candidate with history

00:01:48.620 of anti-Semitic comment. Can I read a bit of it to you? B'nai B'rith Canada has uncovered a pattern

00:01:55.580 of disturbing anti-Semitic and anti-Israel statements made by a Liberal Party candidate running in the

00:02:00.820 coming federal election on October 21. Hassan Gouyeh, an Islamic religious leader who gained

00:02:08.040 international attention for speaking out in the aftermath of the Quebec City mosque attack

00:02:12.040 of 2017, is currently the Liberal Party nominee for the riding of Saint-Leonard-Saint-Michel

00:02:18.360 in Montreal. B'nai B'rith is shocked by a number of his statements over the past few years

00:02:23.300 and believes they must preclude his candidacy.

00:02:27.480 But you see, there's this problem. This guy isn't just a liberal hero, he's a media hero.

00:02:33.540 He's the friendly face of Canadian Muslims, the symbol of their suffering at that mosque 0.75

00:02:39.460 a couple of years ago. So this is cognitive dissonance for the establishment left. This

00:02:44.440 guy was supposed to be proof that Muslims aren't just like us, they're actually more noble than

00:02:51.960 us in their dignified suffering at the hands of old stock Canadians who are a bunch of Islamophobes 0.83

00:02:56.800 and, in one case, murderers. He's not supposed to be the racist, pro-terrorist one. He's supposed

00:03:03.040 to be the good guy. So this will not do. But look, facts are facts, and here are the facts.

00:03:09.440 In January 2017, Gouyeh celebrated the release of Ra'ed Salah, a Hamas-aligned activist who has

00:03:18.720 accused Jews of staging the 9-11 terror attacks and has claimed that Jews use children's blood for

00:03:24.180 baking holy bread. The candidate went on to hail Salah as a jihad fighter and frontier fighter

00:03:31.180 whom Allah will surely support. Gouyeh offered his congratulations to Salah on being freed from 1.00

00:03:37.140 the prisons of occupied Palestine and prayed that he will someday be successful in the fight

00:03:42.340 to liberate the whole of Palestine. Salah had been serving a nine-month prison term in Israel

00:03:47.200 for incitement to violence and racism. These posts no longer appear on Gouyeh's social

00:03:53.920 media. So the usual. I'm not kidding when I say the usual. It is usual in places like Lebanon where 0.99

00:04:02.160 Gouyeh is from. Jews baking matzah bread from the blood of Gentile kids they kill. That's a standard 1.00

00:04:12.000 Arab anti-Semitic, you know, trope. Praising terrorism. That's the usual over there. And I'm not quite sure

00:04:21.520 why we expect someone who believes those things who comes from an entire culture that believes those

00:04:26.980 things where that's all just accepted as the truth where the government even says those things

00:04:31.480 and his dad surely believed those things and his grandfather and so on back hundreds of years

00:04:37.180 where it's inculcated in weekly sermons where the Quran itself is full of anti-Semitism.

00:04:41.420 I'm just not sure why we expect someone to undo a thousand years of tradition and belief

00:04:47.740 just because they hop on a 10-hour flight from Beirut to Canada. I mean, we don't even actually

00:04:54.400 tell migrants to Canada to lose their own bigotries as if telling them to change their deep-seated

00:05:00.620 beliefs is all it would take. Why is any of this a surprise what this guy said? Let me read just a

00:05:06.840 little bit more from Benny Brith. In a late 2017 interview with Radio Canada Internationale,

00:05:12.600 that's the CBC French, Guy called Israel an apartheid state. Guy also accused Jared Kushner,

00:05:20.040 the Jewish son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, of directing his government to support an

00:05:24.620 Israel-first agenda. He accused Kushner of dual loyalty because of his Jewish background and

00:05:29.520 inaccurately described him as an ultra-Orthodox and fundamentalist Jew.

00:05:33.380 He has also stated on Facebook that the Zionists control American politics, promoting the common 1.00

00:05:39.840 anti-Semitic trope of Jews manipulating world governments. You know, if a white guy were to

00:05:44.340 say Jews control the world, Jews control Trump, Trump's Jew-y son-in-law Jared Kushner is a Jew 0.51

00:05:49.940 who's loyal to America, not loyal to America, but only to the Jews. If a white guy were to say that,

00:05:56.540 he would probably, and properly, be called alt-right, and these days probably even called neo-Nazi.

00:06:01.580 They'd search his social media for any connection, no matter how tenuous to the Republicans or Donald

00:06:07.380 Trump. Of course, in this case, in Quebec, there is a direct connection. He is a proud candidate for

00:06:13.860 Justin Trudeau, who obviously passed their meticulous vetting procedure. They love this guy.

00:06:21.100 Now, shortly after B'nai B'rith released their research into this guy, the liberals realized they had a

00:06:25.040 problem. Normally, they don't yield to problems. The liberals brazen it out, especially Trudeau. They know

00:06:30.960 that the media party only just play fights with them. They know that no one has any stick-to-itivity

00:06:36.460 when it comes to the liberal fiascos, other than maybe Bob Fyfe on the SNC-Lavalin story. So the

00:06:41.800 liberals' normal plan is just hold fast. The storm will pass. Don't lose your cool. But not on this

00:06:48.000 one. They actually caved immediately because the liberals know that Canadians suspect something

00:06:53.080 funny about Trudeau and terrorists. They think that maybe Trudeau is a terrorist sympathizer

00:06:58.000 himself because I guess Trudeau is a terrorist sympathizer. I mean, here he is posing with

00:07:04.000 Joshua Boyle, the Muslim convert who used to be married to Omar Khadr's sister and then got married

00:07:08.780 again and took his bride unwillingly to Afghanistan to meet up with the Taliban. Trudeau gave a public

00:07:16.400 apology and $10.5 million to Omar Khadr. Trudeau boasts that terrorists are Canadians just as much as

00:07:22.800 you and I are. Remember this? Terrorists are against this country. The individual in question, Mr. Trudeau is a

00:07:29.080 Canadian. Yeah. He even says we have a lot to learn from terrorists returning from Syria and Iraq. Even if 0.92

00:07:36.620 they murdered and raped, we should listen to their powerful voice. We know that actually someone who

00:07:43.400 has engaged and turned away from that hateful ideology can be an extraordinarily powerful voice.

00:07:53.500 Yeah. Well, Trudeau actually hates our Canadian troops loyal to our country. He mocks them. He

00:07:58.680 defunds them. I mean, it takes quite an icy heart to speak this way while looking at a veteran who

00:08:05.620 lost his leg in Afghanistan. Imagine how cold-blooded you have to be to look a guy in the eye and say this

00:08:12.660 to him. First of all, why are we still fighting against certain veterans groups in court? Because

00:08:21.000 they're asking for more than we are able to give right now. Trudeau's got $10.5 million for Omar Khadr,

00:08:28.140 but nothing for that guy. My point being, Trudeau and his Rasputin boss, Gerald Butts, they know

00:08:33.660 the Canadians are onto him. So they didn't want to rope-a-dope this one because it'll just confirm

00:08:39.180 suspicions about Trudeau. So they sacked Guy before it became a bigger deal. They didn't do

00:08:43.920 that a lot. But funny enough, the candidate himself, he refuses to leave. And weirdly,

00:08:51.000 he says that he was never actually told he was fired as a candidate by the liberals. He said the

00:08:56.100 CBC told him he was fired, just in case he didn't think the CBC and the liberals are tight enough.

00:09:01.700 Here's a quote from the CBC. CBC Montreal spoke to Hassan Guy and broke the news to him. He says he's a

00:09:09.200 changed man. B'nai B'rith tells us they're pleased with the party's swift action. So the CBC told him,

00:09:17.020 but hey guys, I want you to know he's a changed man and he definitely wouldn't lie about that. And

00:09:23.760 remember, those comments he made about Israel, being an apartheid state, those comments he made

00:09:29.160 about loving terrorists, that was in the way, way, way in the past. I'm talking, whoa, all the way back

00:09:36.680 in, you know, 2017. I mean, he has completely transformed himself since then. Oh, by the way,

00:09:45.940 that was after he was made into a media hero for his mosque sermon for the Quebec City mass shooting.

00:09:51.240 So he was that way then. And that's one of the interesting things here. He's not just a liberal

00:09:56.780 party hero. He's a media party hero. They so wanted him to be the face of Islam in Canada.

00:10:02.860 Here's a loving story in the Globe and Mail. A former imam who gained international prominence

00:10:07.380 with a moving speech at a funeral for some victims of the Quebec City mosque attack has won the federal

00:10:12.360 liberal nomination in a party bastion in the heart of Montreal's Italian community.

00:10:17.080 Hassan Guy, a lawyer and engineer who retired from Bombardier in 2006, won the nomination for the

00:10:22.480 Saint-Laurent-Saint-Michel riding Monday night at a meeting that featured a kilometer-long lineup

00:10:28.540 of enthusiastic supporters outside the hall. Mr. Guy, who lives in a farm country, about 40 kilometers

00:10:33.940 southwest of Montreal, was the part-time imam of a mosque in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec,

00:10:39.280 and a longtime Quebec Muslim leader before he gained wider prominence in the wake of the mosque attack.

00:10:43.520 Just a small thing, but do you really think the nomination was a kilometer-long lineup?

00:10:52.880 Do you believe that? Well, listen, forgive the Globe and Mail, their enthusiasm. They're in love,

00:10:58.780 and they don't care who knows. Look, he was their candidate as much as he was Trudeau's candidate.

00:11:03.440 CTV wanted them even more badly. No, no, he's ours. He's ours. Here's CTV.

00:11:07.780 Hassan Guy, spokesperson for the Council of Quebec Muslims, imams, is most widely recognized for his

00:11:13.320 sermon during the memorial for the victims of the Quebec City mosque shooting. No, no, no, no, no.

00:11:17.580 Global TV claims him. He's their guy. Here's Global. Former imam-turned-federal liberal candidate

00:11:23.820 in Montreal wants to be a bridge builder. That's hard-hitting journalism, guys. Hassan Guy won a

00:11:29.380 contested nomination in the Saint-Laurent-Saint-Michel, becoming the first liberal candidate not to come from

00:11:34.240 the influential Italian community since the 1988 inception of the East End riding. Isn't that just

00:11:39.200 a perfect snapshot of the Liberal Party today? I remember in Jean Chrétien's day when Italian 1.00

00:11:43.740 Canadians were in the front benches of government. I don't think there's a single Italian Canadian

00:11:48.220 in Trudeau's cabinet now that I think about it. I think for some reason Trudeau doesn't like

00:11:51.800 Italians. Maybe they're too Catholic or pro-life for him, but Muslims, you got plenty. And what a laugh 1.00

00:11:58.400 to have an Italian riding represented by a Lebanese Muslim imam who doesn't even live in

00:12:04.140 Montreal. It's like a chef's kiss. Perfect. Of course, no one loves this guy more than Trudeau,

00:12:09.340 state broadcaster. I mean, come on. Put on a condom for this one. It's crazy.

00:12:15.940 In his own words, Imam Hassan Guy's address at Quebec City funeral for three mosque victims.

00:12:24.260 They would have hired him right there on the spot as a reporter. Now, as I mentioned, the liberals didn't

00:12:29.560 actually fire Guy. The CBC told him the bad news. He still doesn't believe it. In fact,

00:12:35.420 he's apparently having a press conference tomorrow where he will, I don't know, fight on. And I hope

00:12:42.040 by fight on, he doesn't, you know, literally fight on in a Hamas kind of way like his heroes do.

00:12:49.200 Look at this. Dumped by liberals over anti-Semitism allegations, Hassan Guy explores options. Montreal

00:12:56.360 candidates, he was shocked by party's decision. Let's go through the wonderful choice of words

00:13:02.140 there slowly. They're just anti-Semitism allegations? So the CBC is not willing to accept it as a fact.

00:13:11.860 Yeah, these statements by Guy are indisputable. You can see them with your own eyes. Well,

00:13:15.740 you could, but they were deleted quickly. Luckily, researchers took screenshots of them and archived

00:13:20.880 them. But funny enough, over the weekend, the entire mosque's website was deleted. You go to

00:13:25.900 there, just the whole website was taken down. Oh my, how bad must it have been? Oh, I'm sure they have

00:13:32.360 nothing to hide, right? I mean, why would you delete a social media post or an entire mosque website if

00:13:38.660 everything was tickety-boo? The mosque deleted their whole website. That's quite something. I can only 1.00

00:13:44.020 imagine what was on there, but the actual social media post that Guy had, they were deleted, get this,

00:13:51.000 before the B'nai B'rith blew the whistle here. So they were deleted weeks ago. By whom? And why? By Guy

00:14:01.180 himself or by the Liberal Party? Did they say, yeah, this Jews eat the blood of children thing. Someone might 1.00

00:14:08.720 misinterpret it. Better just delete that one, Hassan. But once you've deleted it, you're good to go.

00:14:14.780 But that headline again, look at that. Dumped by liberals over anti-Semitism allegations. Hassan

00:14:19.480 Kihei explores options. Montreal candidate says he was shocked by party's decision. That's what's so

00:14:24.300 shocking here. The party's decision. I mean, not him. And did you see that happy picture of him?

00:14:28.760 And the whole thing, he's not denormalized by them. He's not on the defensive. He's not a disgraced,

00:14:33.800 bigot, and terrorist apologist. He's just some guy who's been shocked by the shocking liberals.

00:14:38.780 They're the ones who so rudely dumped him. I think. I mean, I think the media is still on his side.

00:14:46.460 Well, yeah, because they have to be. Because discrediting him means discrediting his mosque 1.00

00:14:51.100 and discrediting their holy reputation as sinless lambs. And of course, he was their symbolic hero,

00:14:57.300 the great moderate Muslim imam, who would be the first Muslim imam in parliament. Yeah,

00:15:02.080 they're on his side, folks. And what about Trudeau and the liberals? Well, B'nai B'rith rang the alarm

00:15:08.580 bell. But look at this Facebook post by another Jewish group called Sijia. We discovered Mr. 0.98

00:15:14.240 Kihei's comments, and in June, registered our concerns directly with the Liberal Party. Party

00:15:19.540 officials indicated that they would look into the matter. So this was actually brought to the

00:15:23.960 liberals' attention in June, three months ago, and nothing? No action. I'm surprised and

00:15:29.860 disappointed that Sijia was fine with this, that they were fine with the liberals running this

00:15:34.500 terrorist supporter who, given the neighborhood, would surely have become an MP next month, given

00:15:39.020 Montreal. Sijia was fine with that, I think. B'nai B'rith was not, obviously. And the liberals 0.87

00:15:43.640 clearly were counting on the fact that they had gotten away with it for three months, just a few

00:15:47.700 more weeks till they were in the clear. Assange is having a press conference tomorrow. That's going to be

00:15:52.420 a doozy. But I'm really not interested in more of what he has to say. Yeah, Jews, bad. Jews did 1.00

00:15:57.820 9-11. Jews, Jews, Jews. Got it. Got it. Unless he dishes dirt on how the liberals told him this was

00:16:03.340 all fine. Just be quiet about it. That would be interesting. If he's just saying, oh, I'm a changed

00:16:07.800 man. I'm not the man I was so long ago, back in 2017. Jews. I'm not interested in that. I am 1.00

00:16:14.420 interested in who in the Liberal Party was fine with this bigot, despite having the alarm rung for

00:16:19.700 them in June. I see a couple of Liberal MPs from highly Jewish writings who are tweeting their

00:16:24.820 indignation. I am shocked. I'm just shocked. I'm really shocked about guys. I never saw this coming.

00:16:32.540 Yeah, shocked to find any summits in the Liberal Party. Your party gave 50 million bucks to Hamas. 0.92

00:16:37.640 Are you shocked? But funny enough, not a word of rebuke from the Muslims in Trudeau's caucus,

00:16:43.900 from Omar al-Jabra, from Ahmed Hassan, from Ikra Khalidr. The rest of them, not a 0.96

00:16:49.680 peep from them. What are you? Are you nuts? This calculated ambiguity, this double messaging,

00:16:55.240 this speaking with a forked tongue, tell the Jews you're deeply upset, only after it hits the media, 0.71

00:17:00.240 though, and wink at the Muslims and say, don't you worry, just stay cool. That whole making matzahs 1.00

00:17:06.700 out of blood story could be, you know. But guys, could you just say that blood matzahs thing in Arabic 0.80

00:17:13.500 next time, okay? And hey, other than if this candidate goes rogue tomorrow, the story's done.

00:17:21.480 Remember a few weeks ago, some mentally ill woman or some hoaxer, we're not quite sure which,

00:17:25.900 screamed and spat at some guy while holding a laughable Vote Andrew Scheer sign? It was so

00:17:31.860 obviously a fake or a hoax or something. But Scheer felt compelled to rebuke it, especially after

00:17:37.680 every single media outlet in the country went wall to wall with it. So where's that now?

00:17:45.080 It's nowhere now. That's what it's like in Canada now, in the Liberal Party, in the Media Party,

00:17:49.740 no big deal. An actual terrorist apologist, as an actual candidate, not just some strange person on

00:17:55.220 the street. And the leader, who personally signed off on his candidacy. Well, look, I mean, Justin

00:18:00.320 Trudeau was too busy hiking on the weekend to answer our questions. He was taking selfies with

00:18:05.520 hikers, guys. I'm serious. That was the news that the Media Party had this weekend. Hey, I'm hiking,

00:18:10.940 guys. Look, we all know that we can't trust the Liberal Party. 63% of Canadians don't trust the

00:18:18.440 Liberal Party. But the Media Party, they are worse. Stay with us for more.

00:18:25.220 When the president laid out his plans about how he's going to handle trade, how he's going to invest

00:18:43.700 in our infrastructure, and how he's going to level a playing field for construction workers and all

00:18:47.560 Americans across this country, and then took the time to take everyone into the Oval Office and show

00:18:53.920 him the seat of power in the world. The respect that the president of the United States just showed

00:18:58.800 us, and when he shows it to us, he shows that the 3 million of our members in the United States

00:19:04.180 was nothing short of incredible. And we will work with him and his administration to help him

00:19:10.100 implement his plans on infrastructure, trade, and energy policy so that we really do put America back

00:19:17.820 to work in the middle-class jobs that our members and all Americans are demanding. Thank you very much.

00:19:23.580 Do you remember that clip? I played it for you in January of 2017, and it has stuck in my mind ever

00:19:31.240 since. Look at those guys. That's middle America. That's blue-collar labor union guys, steelworker

00:19:38.580 guys, teamster guys, guys who work outside, guys who come home and their muscles ache, guys who wear hard

00:19:45.660 hats, guys who dig and drill and mine, the forgotten people who for generations have said,

00:19:52.920 oh, we're Democrat. We're unions, so we're Democrat. And wasn't that amazing? On the first day, I think

00:19:58.280 that was literally the day of the inauguration, perhaps the next day, but I think it was literally

00:20:02.080 day one. Trump took the, and they were all Democrat, at least when they walked in. And did you hear that

00:20:07.860 man? And he said, he showed us tremendous respect. I believe that, by the way, obviously. And he

00:20:15.580 talked about energy and infrastructure and trade. And here we are two and a half years later,

00:20:20.380 and has not Trump kept his word on energy? America is now a net energy exporter. Coal mines are opening

00:20:27.980 again. Steel mills are going full tilt. Chinese cheap, crappy steel that's dumped below world market

00:20:33.300 prices is being kept out. China is on the back foot. It's almost been pushed into a recession

00:20:37.540 by Donald Trump. Donald Trump is literally saying American factories come home. Well, that is music to 0.86

00:20:44.240 the ears of union leaders like that. And I think, as we're now well past the halfway point in Donald

00:20:50.920 Trump's first term, and the 2020 re-election is within sight, and here in Canada, we have an election

00:20:59.800 mere weeks away. My hypothesis, my theory for today is workers, unionized workers, and I'm talking about real

00:21:10.100 workers, not clerks in a government sector bureaucrats union. I'm talking about outdoors

00:21:16.620 guys like you saw there, that they will vote for the parties of the right in particular in reaction

00:21:23.960 and rejection to environmentalism, which has been used to kill their jobs for a decade. Joining me now

00:21:32.460 to help discuss this hypothesis is my friend Mark Morano, the boss of ClimateDepot.com. Good to see

00:21:38.020 you again, Mark.

00:21:39.300 Hey, Ezra. How's it going? Thank you.

00:21:40.440 It's going well. I don't know if you saw that clip from where you are. I know you heard it.

00:21:46.400 I found it very moving. These tough dudes, these tough union bosses who went in there probably almost

00:21:54.280 looking for a fight with the Republican president, coming out completely converted to his cause. And that

00:22:01.220 was just with the promise. Two and a half years later, Trump has kept his promises in terms of

00:22:06.000 industrial revitalization.

00:22:09.280 He has. Now, one interesting thing about Trump. If you go back decades, the 1980s,

00:22:13.880 Trump's economic plans have always mirrored the labor, the labor unions, economic plans,

00:22:20.980 particularly when it comes to tariffs, particularly when it comes to China, when it comes to trade

00:22:26.120 agreements, when it comes to the appeal to the blue-collar worker, this is the reason Donald

00:22:31.560 Trump is president. Not only did he woo the labor bosses in the clip you just showed, but he wooed

00:22:36.900 blue-collar America in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, in West Virginia. And these are states that were shocking

00:22:44.300 margins, particularly places like West Virginia, which were like radical margins, what were Democratic

00:22:49.820 states not that long ago. So what President Trump is doing, and he's not only that, but he's delivered,

00:22:55.180 as you mentioned. We surpassed Saudi Arabia now in oil production, I think it was 2018.

00:23:01.820 But not only that, President Trump has delivered across the spectrum for union members the lowest

00:23:08.160 black unemployment rates of unemployment since they began in the 1960s monitoring it, the lowest Hispanic

00:23:14.900 unemployment since they began in the 1960s monitoring it. And this has been a shock to the Democratic Party,

00:23:23.260 and they still haven't recovered. And they're still reeling. And of course, 2020 brings its own set of

00:23:28.420 challenges with a lot of other issues like the Green New Deal.

00:23:32.120 You know, you're so right, because in the past, socialists and even communists, they have not disparaged

00:23:40.200 hard work or industry or smokestacks and coal-fired this and that. They fetishized them. I mean,

00:23:47.660 if you look at those iconic Soviet propaganda posters, you have hard work and guys, I mean,

00:23:53.760 the hammer and the sickle were their symbols, the symbols of tools for work. They would always have

00:23:58.580 the symbol of great pride would be smoke belching factories. They weren't ashamed of them. All they said

00:24:05.380 is, let those factories be owned, the means of production be owned by the proletariat. They were 0.98

00:24:12.340 not anti-factory. I think today's Democrats in the States and liberals and New Democrats and Greens in

00:24:20.420 Canada are actually anti-factory. And just like people who say, oh, no, no, I'm not anti-soldier.

00:24:26.840 I'm just anti-war. Well, after a while, you say, no, no, you're anti-war. And you can say,

00:24:31.980 I'm anti-factory, but pro-worker. Yeah, no, it doesn't work that way. If you're against the

00:24:37.460 factory, you're against the guy who feeds his family from the factory. I think, Mark,

00:24:41.880 and I'd like your thoughts on this, that the obsession by the Democrats and by our liberals

00:24:46.880 with climate change, global warming, climate emergencies, Greta Thunberg, is causing all these

00:24:53.060 severely normal working class guys to say, you know what? I'm just not a Democrat anymore. I'm just

00:24:58.860 not a liberal anymore. Absolutely. In fact, they're not just anti-factory. They are anti-factory

00:25:04.980 100%. And it's not because of who owns the factory. It's because of the smokestacks. It's because

00:25:10.780 of the emissions. The factory is evil. And it goes beyond that. The auto workers union has to look at

00:25:17.120 it and see that the environment and the modern democratic party is against the automobile, against

00:25:22.040 SUVs. They are against the modern farmer. Farmers unions have to look at this. They're against

00:25:27.080 cattle and beef and sheep and meat eating. And they want to run them out of business. We know

00:25:31.840 this from the new UN report. We know this from Al Gore's own investment in fake meat from a laboratory

00:25:37.960 with 22 ingredients instead of the real thing. So what happened? And this predates Trump. It

00:25:43.800 actually really began in earnest under President Obama, and more specifically, Obama's second term

00:25:50.160 with all his executive orders and with his opposition to the Canadian oil sands. What happened was the

00:25:56.260 Laborers International Union, led by Terry O'Sullivan, had twice endorsed President Obama

00:26:00.860 for president. They'd had enough. They came out and said that President Obama was pandering to the

00:26:06.540 environmentalists, that they were seeking jobs, that he was giving in to extreme environmental

00:26:11.460 agenda. I mean, they went all out, started attacking President Obama. Fast forward, President Trump comes

00:26:18.400 on the scene, or the candidate Trump, and the labor unions and the union members themselves are blown

00:26:23.820 away. I actually document the labor unions and the leaders who turn around and actually started

00:26:29.860 attacking President Obama before President Trump came along. And so this is what's happened. It's not

00:26:35.860 who owns industry. It's the fact that modern industry is allowed. And voters in the blue-collar 0.58

00:26:42.320 states, labor rank and file, rightly recognize that the modern Democratic Party is against industrial

00:26:50.160 civilization with their policies. I mean, not so much someone like Joe Biden, who's trying to skirt

00:26:56.480 this, or even a Nancy Pelosi at the moment, but against the Elizabeth Warren, the better O'Rourke's

00:27:01.860 that, and the other Democrats who, especially someone like Warren or even Camilla Harris or Bernie Sanders,

00:27:09.200 that, unfortunately, in AOC, that is where the legislation, that is where the brain trust, if you will,

00:27:15.720 is coming. And that is what is scaring these workers, and that is what is scaring the Democratic Party

00:27:20.780 for 2020. Yeah. You know, I think that maybe I wasn't articulate enough there, Mark, because that's

00:27:26.240 my point, is the old communists, they loved the factory. They just wanted the people to own it,

00:27:31.320 so to speak. Today's communists actually hate the factory, which is crazy. They hate the means of

00:27:38.860 production. I want to show you a video, Mark, and I played this for our viewers before. This is a 2016

00:27:44.760 United Steelworkers of America ad that I don't think had very wide play. This features Jack

00:27:52.780 Tippold, who is a steelworker from Indiana. And I looked up Jack Tippold on the internet,

00:27:58.080 and I found him, and I've told my viewers just before, I found him on Facebook. We became Facebook

00:28:02.160 friends, and I've chatted with them to sort of talk to him about how he literally cut a TV ad

00:28:07.740 against Trump in 2016 over steel. And you couldn't have a more steel-friendly president,

00:28:17.020 not only in terms of industrial policy, but trade policy. I want to show you this clip,

00:28:20.740 because I find this so amazing. This guy, and he's being a little coy with me on Facebook, fair enough,

00:28:25.940 I'm a journalist, and he's got his work to do. But there is no doubt in my mind that this guy,

00:28:31.980 and 100,000 guys who look physically and who sound the same exact accent, who are sneered at by the,

00:28:39.380 you know, New York's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, sneered at by the elites. They are voting Trump down to 0.98

00:28:48.600 the man. Here, just watch this ad with Jack Tippold again, because this scared me when I saw it in 2016.

00:28:55.200 But although he won't quite come out and say it, I'm telling you one thing,

00:28:57.740 Jack's voting for Trump this time. Take a look.

00:29:00.620 My name's Jack Tippold, and I've been a steel worker for 24 years.

00:29:05.380 This election is a little bit different, and Donald Trump does talk a good game when it comes to China

00:29:11.140 and Mexico. But let me tell you a little something about Donald Trump. The Chinese have been illegally 1.00

00:29:17.380 dumping steel and aluminum into this country. The problem is that Donald Trump is buying this steel

00:29:24.580 aluminum, and he's using it in his projects. Now, Trump says he's going to rebuild the steel industry.

00:29:30.640 That steel could have been made here in Indiana, Pennsylvania, or Ohio. Another thing, Donald Trump

00:29:37.140 says our wages are too high. Let's see him go into one of our plants with his soft hands and work for a

00:29:42.920 day, and then tell us our wages are too high. Donald Trump says he uses bankruptcy as a tool.

00:29:49.780 I've seen what bankruptcy does to our brothers and sisters. I've seen them losing their houses and

00:29:55.340 their cars, unable to provide food to put on their tables, can't pay their bills. We don't have a

00:30:01.220 father that can give us a million dollars and bail us out. Look, Donald Trump is nothing more than a

00:30:06.200 boss. And when you go to pull that lever on November 8th, think if that's who you want as your boss.

00:30:12.120 I tell you, Mark, that guy ain't voting for the people who would bring in a carbon tax, who would

00:30:19.760 ban coal, who would ban fracking, who would blockade pipelines. That guy's voting for the man who is

00:30:27.660 keeping out the cheap, dumped steel. And all he can say is grow, build, dig, mine, you know, frack.

00:30:36.660 I think that that could tip 2020. And in Canada in 2019.

00:30:43.700 Yeah. And I think one of the knocks against President Trump is, oh, well, okay, he didn't

00:30:48.280 always follow the ideology he prescribed. Well, one of the things President Trump done as a

00:30:52.460 businessman, he's trying to tell Americans and he's trying to change America so that businessmen like

00:30:58.640 him can actually use American products without the unfair dumping and competition, the unfair

00:31:05.020 practices that China has done. And that's what he's been focusing on. And I think that's why he's

00:31:10.300 going to win over people like the man in the video you just showed. The other reason that's so

00:31:15.180 important, and Politico had a whole article on this today, showing that, you know, Democrats in places

00:31:20.680 like Michigan and a lot of these, you know, sort of rust belt or blue collar states are terrified of

00:31:27.140 2020. And it's a lot of it is because of President Trump, not only his governance and his good policy,

00:31:32.900 but because of his brilliant political tactics. And what do I mean by that? He's elevated,

00:31:38.960 President Trump has elevated people like AOC and Congresswoman Omar to the level of the face of the

00:31:46.940 Democratic Party. So even the Democrats now are saying they know the Green New Deal and AOC are going

00:31:52.420 to be in every ad against them. And it's not going to play well. And a lot of these Democrats home

00:31:56.780 districts. And that's the political genius of Donald Trump is he's made the party embrace the

00:32:03.040 extreme. The Democratic Party is embracing it because they can't allow themselves to support

00:32:08.700 Trump. And Trump has made it basically the face of AOC, the Green New Deal, or American prosperity.

00:32:15.180 And it's actually a fair choice, an accurate choice. And that is why 2020 presents a huge problem for the

00:32:22.180 Democratic Party. Very interesting. You know, in recent weeks, I've seen some tweets by Donald

00:32:26.460 Trump, where he pokes at the leadership of the big three automakers in Michigan. Now, it's a little

00:32:32.600 cryptic to me. I'll show the tweets on the screen here right now. I think he's alluding to some fuel

00:32:39.240 economy standards. Is that right? He's trying to get the big three to walk away from those. And for some

00:32:44.140 reason, they want them. And he's saying, why are you being ridiculous? Make cheaper car, make better cars

00:32:49.380 cheaper and sell them cheaper in America. And everyone's a winner. And am I getting that right?

00:32:54.540 Is that is that the point he was trying to make? It was odd. But obviously, he's saying something

00:32:59.300 strategically. Help me figure out what he meant. Yeah, well, what's happened here is the Trump

00:33:03.480 administration is trying to reverse President Obama's corporate average fuel economy or CAFE

00:33:08.580 standards on American vehicles. And as it currently stands, I think by 2022 and three years,

00:33:14.360 it's gonna be a 54 and a half mile per gallon in the US standard for the fleet of vehicles. Now,

00:33:20.840 this is statutorily incredibly damaging, possibly the RIP of the American SUV as we know it. And

00:33:27.820 we're already seeing heavier use of aluminum and plastics and lighter SUVs. Everything's making

00:33:33.660 cars less safe. President Trump is trying to change that. The problem is, and I've already said this in

00:33:38.880 the past, it's the best argument for California's secession. The problem is California has its own

00:33:43.940 standards that it's got an exemption. It doesn't have to follow federal. So California and a few

00:33:48.700 other states like Massachusetts are going to keep their standards very strict. So automakers are

00:33:53.700 having to face the rule of they're going to have to do two sets of cars for the states that have

00:33:58.360 really high regulatory requirements versus states that don't. President Trump is trying to get a

00:34:04.360 federal ruling to get rid of California's ability to do that. But given the state of the auto 0.74

00:34:10.220 manufacturers, they're not wanting to fight. They want regulatory certainty. They're just sort of

00:34:15.100 giving in and they're going to accept these regulations. But on the other hand, they can

00:34:19.560 also figure a way to juice it and make money out of this. But President Trump is trying to persuade

00:34:23.920 automakers to go along with overturning Obama's rules because the person that's going to hurt,

00:34:29.360 the automakers will do fine with the new regulations. It's the American consumer, both in terms of cost

00:34:34.980 and in terms of safety, as cars get lighter, smaller and more expensive.

00:34:40.440 That is so very interesting. And you mentioned Michigan. I think, I mean, listen, I don't know

00:34:47.760 auto workers. I just don't know them. But I think that they can tell the difference between someone

00:34:55.140 who's for the boss and for the workers. And it was Michael Moore himself who first flipped the light

00:35:01.540 switch on for me, that Trump was for the worker and Trump wasn't afraid to tough. We know Trump's

00:35:06.220 not afraid to talk tough to the big three CEOs because he tells them, if you think you're making

00:35:11.080 vehicles in Mexico, get ready for a monster tariff. I mean, he's been fighting with the big three

00:35:15.580 automakers forever. Very interesting, Mark. I sure hope you're right. But for every blue collar guy 1.00

00:35:22.520 looking for his political outlet, you've got all the activists and the extremists and the

00:35:29.540 grievance industries and the Greta Thunbergs clouding the debate and saying, no, no, no.

00:35:36.700 Vote for today's Democrats, the extremist campus activist types. I hope the blue collar Americans 1.00

00:35:43.980 and blue collar Canadians can see through that. Last word to you, my friend. 1.00

00:35:48.220 Well, I think you're right. But I think that process is most pronounced during the Democratic

00:35:52.580 primary process. So those activists and those people pushing the new green, and I love the Democrats

00:35:58.700 right now are all trying to outdo each other. Bernie's the king with the 16 and a half trillion

00:36:03.340 dollar Green New Deal. Others have come out with only four or five trillion dollar versions. So

00:36:08.440 they're like the weak Democrats. But if the Democratic base and activists pick someone so extreme like

00:36:13.680 Elizabeth Warren as a nominee, Trump is in heaven. Now, if he picks it, they pick a Joe Biden, which is

00:36:18.540 getting harder and harder to believe they're going to do that. They're going to have a much more

00:36:22.520 pronounced battle because Joe Biden, his nickname is Lunch Pail Joe. He envisions himself as the

00:36:28.240 champion of the blue collar worker. And he's got a great image. And I think that's going to put up

00:36:32.380 the biggest challenge for Trump among this demographic. So it all comes down to who the

00:36:37.660 nominee is and also economics. I mean, you know, right now we're riding high. If there's a blip or

00:36:42.480 some kind of a slide into a slight recession, that's going to have a big impact. There's so many

00:36:46.520 variables. It doesn't just come down to blue collar workers. But this is such a key transformation

00:36:51.640 in the electorate against the Democrats. And it began under President Obama.

00:36:56.120 Yeah, very interesting. Well, always great to talk with you, Mark. And thank you for your time.

00:36:59.780 And we look forward to staying in touch with you, not just about Trump's pro-energy policies,

00:37:05.280 pro-industry policies, but the election, because, of course, you're a real insider on those subjects

00:37:10.420 and always a value to our viewers. Thanks, my friend. We'll talk to you soon.

00:37:13.420 Thank you, guys.

00:37:13.920 All right. There you have it, Mark Morano. I hope you're visiting Mark's site.

00:37:17.000 It's called climatedepot.com. And I promise you, it is the best aggregator of news and information

00:37:24.200 about the theory of man-made global warming and the politics of that theory that's on the

00:37:28.860 internet. Stay with us. More ahead on The Rebel.

00:37:30.500 Hey, welcome back on my special interview with Gavin McInnes. John writes,

00:37:45.900 That was a fun show to watch. It was like two guys sitting around shooting the shoot over pints

00:37:50.080 and trying to straighten out everything. There was some cussing, too. I hope that didn't hurt anyone's

00:37:55.280 ears. But it was fun to see my old buddy again. Dan writes,

00:37:59.580 What I really liked was what Gavin said about conservatives being crappy fighters. People

00:38:03.860 need to stand up and fight back. The battle is in your own backyard first.

00:38:08.900 Yeah, he's a fighter. That's for sure.

00:38:11.040 Paul writes,

00:38:12.980 Always great to hear from Gavin. I watch the show and see our TV. I've been meaning to check

00:38:17.460 out Gavin's new site. I guess I'll finally have to get around to doing so.

00:38:20.980 Yeah, it's called freespeech.tv. I was glad to see the guy. You know, I remember when I first

00:38:26.100 met him back when we were both at Sun News Network. I had a show with Sun, and he was

00:38:30.000 an occasional guest. And what I saw immediately then, and I still know now, is that he's a fountain

00:38:36.220 of creativity. He just is a gusher with ideas and jokes and sketches and concepts. I think the

00:38:42.480 fella needs an editor from time to time, because even a brilliant brainstormer doesn't get it right 0.71

00:38:46.780 all the time. But it's just lots of laughs, and always great to see him again. And in his natural

00:38:52.740 habitat in New York City, that's really his home for sure. Well, I'm glad you liked that, for those

00:38:58.080 of you who did. Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at

00:39:03.140 home. Good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
