Rebel News Podcast - More Islamic terrorism in France — and more mealy-mouthed submission from Canada

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Today I talk about two terrible terrorist attacks in France.

00:00:05.740 And that's predictable enough, I suppose, but the reaction from the media is worse,

00:00:11.940 and the reaction from Canada's government is the worst of all. I'll let you know.

00:00:17.120 In the meantime, let me invite you to become a subscriber to the video version of this podcast.

00:00:37.320 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:00:47.660 Tonight, more Islamic terrorism in France, and more mealy-mouthed submission from Canada. 0.98

00:00:53.260 This is October 29th, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:56.200 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:01.840 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:05.900 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody

00:01:10.780 right to do so. 0.94

00:01:16.460 Two weeks ago, Muslim terrorists murdered a teacher in France. Samuel Patti was his name. 0.81

00:01:22.880 He was teaching students about freedom of expression. As part of the lesson, he showed

00:01:27.420 his students images from Charlie Hebdo, the satirical French magazine that makes fun of

00:01:32.720 everything and everyone, every religion. The reason that was interesting, and not just inflammatory

00:01:38.460 or gross, is that almost six years ago, Muslim terrorists attacked Charlie Hebdo's office and 0.60

00:01:45.580 murdered 12 people and wounded 11 more. It was clear a message of censorship, of infidels, 1.00

00:01:52.480 of blasphemy, and killing those who defy Islam. And the response by the world's media back then 0.98

00:01:57.900 was less than stellar, even worse in some ways than the cowardice shown a dozen years ago in reaction

00:02:04.560 to the Danish cartoons of Mohammed. Back then, the first time, most journalists were just cowards. 0.92

00:02:10.380 They were quiet. They didn't publish them. But after Charlie Hebdo, the mainstream opinion was that 0.87

00:02:15.500 Charlie Hebdo sort of deserved it. They provoked it. Didn't they know better? And in the six years

00:02:22.160 since then, things have moved even further. I'm sure that today most journalists would say that the

00:02:26.140 terrorists were victims of Islamophobia, and Charlie Hebdo should have been charged with hate crimes.

00:02:31.580 So there's a lot to talk about, a lot of history, very relevant to France and a school teacher,

00:02:37.420 which is, you know, France is a very secular republic. It's the land of the Enlightenment. So

00:02:42.860 it's interesting and important to teach, and Samuel Paty invited his students, well, to leave the

00:02:47.440 classroom if they were skittish about seeing cartoons or easily defended. Well, they did not leave the

00:02:52.580 class, and they went nuts. I'm talking about the Muslim students. The father of one girl in the class 1.00

00:02:58.160 reported Paty to police for pornography because one of the cartoons of Mohammed had him nude.

00:03:06.680 That same father of a student made YouTube videos identifying the teacher, Samuel Paty,

00:03:11.820 including his address, and led protests at the school calling for him to be banned, calling him a

00:03:16.960 thug. A major mosque followed suit, denouncing the teacher, calling him a thug. A teacher for teaching 0.91

00:03:23.260 was a thug. Well, surprise, surprise, another Muslim refugee in France followed the pretty clear 1.00

00:03:28.940 instructions he was getting, and he murdered Paty. He paid some school kids 300 euros for them to point 0.54

00:03:34.660 out Paty to him. Then he took out a foot-long knife and cut off his head, the preferred method of killing 0.98

00:03:40.340 in the Koran when it comes to infidels. Oh, and in case you need more information, that Chechen refugee 0.97

00:03:46.620 shouted, Allah Akbar, while he did it. As the CBC would say, motive was unknown. There were words

00:03:53.620 of opprobrium. Emmanuel Macron, the president, who believes in open borders and mass Muslim

00:03:58.080 immigration, he condemned the killing as terrorism. You would hope so. Macron said it was, quote, 0.87

00:04:02.840 a typical Islamist terrorist attack, which seems pretty accurate to me. And he said that Islam is, 1.00

00:04:08.940 quote, in crisis, which I think is true also. Well, Turkey's authoritarian president, Recep Erdogan,

00:04:17.580 made that his big moment. And he's actually launched a massive anti-France, anti-Macron campaign.

00:04:24.620 He's just going nuts against France right now, much like the Muslim world did towards Denmark 1.00

00:04:29.200 a dozen years ago after they published the cartoons too. World leaders are choosing sides. Radicals in the 1.00

00:04:34.520 Muslim world condemned France and Macron. Some Democrats and liberals sided with Macron.

00:04:41.940 Trudeau, well, he stayed silent for 10 days, only saying something grudgingly when he was asked about

00:04:49.280 it by the Bloc Québécois. And look at this atrocious tweet by the foreign minister, also from Quebec.

00:04:56.160 We stand in solidarity with our French friends. Turkey's recent comments about France are totally

00:05:01.300 unacceptable. We must return to respectful diplomatic exchanges. But look at this, look at this,

00:05:06.080 look at this. We will always stand together to defend freedom of expression with respect?

00:05:12.440 Hang on, hang on. Canada will only defend freedom of expression if it's done respectfully, as in,

00:05:18.300 if you show respect for, in this case, Mohammed, you're fine. But if you don't, like Charlie Hebdo didn't,

00:05:23.700 and presumably as Emmanuel Macron is accused of not doing, then you won't stand in solidarity with him?

00:05:29.220 When did that last part get added in? Freedom of expression with respect? What? Respect for whom?

00:05:35.240 For what? Where is that in any law book or history book or charter of rights? Sure, you have freedom

00:05:40.560 of expression, but only if you bow down to me and don't insult me or offend me or bother me.

00:05:46.360 If you respect me, that is, if you do nothing that I don't want you to do, you can say whatever you like,

00:05:51.000 as long as it is what I like. So you can have all the freedom of speech in the world subject to

00:05:56.000 whatever I say. It's like Henry Ford saying you can have a car, a Model T in any color as long as

00:06:01.240 it's black. Freedom of expression with respect. I'm not surprised that came from Francois Philippe

00:06:08.280 Champagne, our foreign minister. He's so deep with communist China that he actually had a mortgage from

00:06:13.760 the Chinese government bank. I'm serious. So yeah, that's how they talk in China about free speech

00:06:18.780 too. If you respect the Communist Party, you can have free speech with respect. In fact, the father

00:06:25.080 of the Muslim girl, the father who led the mob, the mosque that led the mob, the mob itself, the

00:06:30.800 Chechen murder, they all believe in freedom of speech if you show respect. Of course they do. That's all 0.94

00:06:35.960 they want for you to respect them, their beliefs, their religions, their prophets, their sensitivities,

00:06:41.660 more than you respect your own freedoms, your own beliefs in freedom, secularism, France.

00:06:45.780 So Francois Philippe Champagne was actually, to be very technical and deliberate about it, he was

00:06:52.000 actually siding with the murderer because the murderer was really hung up on that with respect

00:06:58.600 part, wasn't he? Look at this nice man just today. This is from Mahir Mohamed, former president of

00:07:05.100 Malaysia, Muslim man obviously. Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people 1.00

00:07:10.640 for the massacres of the past. Oh yeah, okay. And I should tell you that although Twitter eventually 1.00

00:07:16.040 deleted that one tweet, they kept up the rest of his tweets in the series of attacks on France

00:07:20.840 and they didn't suspend his account. Twitter suspended the Twitter account of the New York Post

00:07:26.040 a couple weeks ago for publishing a true story about Hunter Biden's China connection. They're still

00:07:31.300 suspended. Not allowed to tweet, that is, but this thug is. And would you look at that?

00:07:37.520 Man shouting Allahu Akbar kills three at French church. Terrorism investigation opened.

00:07:44.540 Paris. Three people were killed in a knife attack at a church in the southern French city of Nice on

00:07:49.700 Thursday, an act President Emmanuel Macron referred to as an Islamist terror attack, which prompted the

00:07:55.920 country to raise its security alert to the highest level. Well, some people aren't quite sure if it's a

00:08:01.320 terrorist attack. Take a look at this. And let me clarify, I apologize. We don't know the exact nature of

00:08:10.740 this attack. I actually was reflecting on a series of other Islamic radical attacks where people were stabbed

00:08:19.440 and killed in churches. We don't have that information yet. There has been a wave of such terrorism. We'll wait

00:08:26.600 actually for authorities to tell us what happened inside this church. What of unknown. Now, it wasn't

00:08:32.900 just a knife attack, as the Washington Post said. It was a beheading. It's a bit different, isn't it?

00:08:38.940 Here's the CBC. Three dead as woman beheaded in France. Gunmen killed in second incident.

00:08:46.500 At least they wrote that there was a beheading. I read the entire CBC article quite carefully,

00:08:50.540 actually. And nowhere do they describe the murderer as a terrorist. They quote Macron and other officials.

00:08:57.600 And in some of those quotes, those other officials use the word terrorist. So they're not actually censoring

00:09:02.780 Macron saying it. But the CBC never says the word terrorist. It's actually their official policy. I'm not

00:09:07.560 kidding. They never call Muslim terrorists, Muslim terrorists. Look for yourself. Read the story yourself. 0.98

00:09:13.500 They don't use the word Muslim either, except if they're quoting someone else who does.

00:09:16.520 The only two places the CBC used the word Muslim is to paint Muslims as the victims here.

00:09:23.880 Quote, it was not immediately clear if Thursday's attack was connected to the cartoons,

00:09:28.000 which Muslims considered to be blasphemous. Well, not all Muslims do, by the way. 0.99

00:09:33.600 But hey, thanks for sticking up for the terrorists and explaining their rationale.

00:09:37.720 Here's the other mention in the article by the CBC. That has prompted an outpouring of anger

00:09:42.680 in parts of the Muslim world, with some governments accusing Macron of pursuing an anti-Islam agenda.

00:09:48.660 So the CBC won't ever call anyone a terrorist. They just won't. And the only time they use the

00:09:53.940 word Muslim or Islam in a story about Muslim or Islamic terrorism, it's to make the terrorist side 0.94

00:09:59.380 of the story. You see, Macron is so anti-Islam. What could you expect? She was wearing such a short 0.75

00:10:05.540 skirt skirt. What did you expect would happen? Yeah, Justin Trudeau and the CBC, they're not neutral

00:10:12.040 anymore, are they? I think they're actually on the side of the terrorists. Stay with us for more.

00:10:20.420 Would he close down the oil industry? It's false. Would you close down the oil industry?

00:10:35.920 By the way, I would transition from the oil industry, yes.

00:10:38.820 Oh, that's a big statement. I would transition. It is a big statement.

00:10:41.540 That's a big statement. Because I would stop.

00:10:43.160 Why would you do that? Because the oil industry pollutes significantly.

00:10:47.580 I see. Here's the deal. But you can't do that. Well, if you let me finish the statement,

00:10:52.320 because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time, over time. And I'd stop giving

00:10:58.600 to the oil industry, I'd stop giving them federal subsidies. He won't give federal subsidies to the

00:11:04.280 gas, excuse me, to the, to solar and wind. Yeah. Why are we giving it to oil industry?

00:11:11.300 We actually do give it to solar and wind. And that's maybe the biggest statement in terms of

00:11:15.320 business. That's the biggest statement. Okay. Because basically what he's saying is he is going

00:11:19.220 to destroy the oil industry. Will you remember that Texas? Will you remember that Pennsylvania,

00:11:25.580 Oklahoma? Vice President Biden, let me get...

00:11:27.120 Well, that was the most exciting part of the final Trump-Biden debate, where Biden, I mean,

00:11:34.560 I don't know if he regards it as an error, but Trump certainly thought Biden made a disastrous error

00:11:40.440 by saying, yes, he would shut down the oil and gas industry, a message that Trump has relentlessly

00:11:47.820 rebroadcast in Pennsylvania and other oil and gas producing and fracking states. I think it helped

00:11:56.520 clarify the choice on the ballot next week in the United States. With Trump, it's drill, baby, drill,

00:12:03.120 dig coal, be offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

00:12:08.720 Go get him. And with Biden, it's Green New Deal, stop fracking in public land, phase out oil and gas,

00:12:16.160 and basically move to a UN-style solar and wind economy. Joining me now via Skype from the Washington,

00:12:24.920 D.C. area is our friend Mark Morano, the boss of ClimateDepot.com. Mark, it's very interesting that

00:12:31.180 energy is the last big substantive topic in this campaign, isn't it?

00:12:36.780 Yeah, it finally came around. I mean, it was all, you know, COVID and all the various attacks on

00:12:43.700 Trump's personality. But the last debate, I thought, was very good. It really focused everything.

00:12:48.620 And you can see from the debate that this is a very clear choice. And I'm not quite sure. Biden's

00:12:54.280 campaign is terrified at the moment because you have Ohio, Pennsylvania, all these energy producing

00:13:00.440 states, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, all these states that rely so much on the energy economy.

00:13:07.360 They can't paint Biden. The campaign's terrified he'll be painted as an AOC squad member, Bernie Sanders.

00:13:15.000 And they have been going overtime, basically peddling a stream of not quite truths about Obama's record,

00:13:23.380 starting with Biden's record, starting with Biden himself saying he never said that, when not only

00:13:29.100 did he say that he would stop fracking and all fossil fuels, but he said he would jail the executives

00:13:34.100 of fossil fuel companies. So this is a man who, during the primaries, was pandering to that AOC base

00:13:40.380 of the Democratic Party.

00:13:41.580 Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, he claims that he never endorsed the Green New Deal. I think that

00:13:46.020 was in his first debate with Trump. But it was right there in his online platform. I think they later

00:13:51.960 revised the wording. It's interesting. Every party has their base that likes to hear the real

00:13:58.240 red meat. And then when they go to meet the general public, they become a little more moderate.

00:14:02.700 I mean, you can say that even about some issues for Republicans, building the wall. I always wish

00:14:07.680 Trump would mean what he said when he talked to the base. But the Green New Deal and solar and banning

00:14:14.500 fracking, that's crazy talk to most people outside of the, you know, the outside of LA and New York.

00:14:24.060 That's crazy talk to people who actually think about how much oil and gas they use and to the millions

00:14:29.320 of Americans in that industry. I don't know. I remember it was only about 10 years ago that America

00:14:34.740 was importing billions of dollars a year in oil and gas. Like it was a, it was the world's largest net importer

00:14:42.460 fairly recently. Only in the last year or so has America become a net energy exporter,

00:14:49.300 largely because of fracking and Trump's opening up the drilling. I have to think Americans don't

00:14:55.340 want to go back to being at the mercy of OPEC and paying for imports, let alone all the jobs. I just

00:15:01.240 have to think that there are more Americans who know about oil and gas than the know-nothing

00:15:06.740 millennial AOCs in the world. Well, that's the question. And, you know, that's the whole

00:15:12.720 challenge of this debate. What the Democrats have done is tried to make this on Trump's personality.

00:15:17.700 He sends mean tweets, you know, or he's outrageous or whatever, but on the substance. And I have the

00:15:23.740 stat here. This is a shock. I just, I can't believe this stat. And I can't believe Trump has not touted

00:15:28.880 this enough, but in 2019, just last year, Ezra, U.S. energy production exceeded energy consumption

00:15:36.660 for the first time since U.S. energy exports. And for the first time, U.S. energy exports exceeded

00:15:42.320 imports for the first time since 1952. Wow. Harry Truman was president of the United States,

00:15:49.600 not Dwight Eisenhower. Harry Truman was the last time we've ever done this. And this wasn't an accident.

00:15:54.940 This wasn't on pace to happen with President Obama. This is what has happened. But pre-COVID,

00:16:01.400 this was the most astonishing economy in 60-plus years of the United States. Lowest Black unemployment, 1.00

00:16:07.440 lowest Hispanic unemployment. You have Indigenous peoples who were actually supporting a lot of

00:16:13.640 these energy projects. You had the labor unions, the International Laborers International Union

00:16:19.560 coming out, opposing the Green New Deal. They see where this is headed.

00:16:24.520 And now Biden's literally going to come in, turn everything on its head. And not only just on

00:16:30.960 the energy production side, but I mean, on everything from the car industry to our thermostats to

00:16:36.400 agriculture. I mean, we are going to be under the gun and we are headed rapidly to Europe and the

00:16:43.460 stagnation and the growth and the higher electricity rates. And that's what they want. They're not going

00:16:48.040 to deny that. They think we should be paying a lot more for energy.

00:16:52.080 You know, I remember very clearly, it was almost four years ago, the inauguration of President Trump

00:16:59.060 in January 2017. And those very interesting first few days where he had symbolic statements,

00:17:06.560 symbolic meetings that, I mean, that were special. What does he want to do on his very first hour,

00:17:12.040 his very first day, his very first week? And one of the things he did very, very early was to say,

00:17:18.320 go to pipelines, to the Keystone XL pipeline that would bring Canadian ethical oil down from the oil

00:17:26.180 stands and the Bakken geological area, Saskatchewan, North Dakota. Also the Dakota Access Pipeline,

00:17:34.160 which had massive protests that Obama turned a blind eye to. Trump got those deals done

00:17:41.100 immediately. There's been a huge boost in pipeline construction in America. I wonder if people

00:17:48.340 remember how bad it was, how locked down it was, how Greenpeace really had more authority over the

00:17:56.480 land than the U.S. Congress. I wonder if people remember the bad old days because it's been such a

00:18:03.060 transformation in four years. It really has. And the transformation that would happen if President

00:18:08.880 Biden's elected, I mean, we already know AOC and Bernie Sanders wrote his plan. And by the way,

00:18:13.280 when Biden says, I don't support the Green New Deal, that's not my plan, he means it's Biden's

00:18:18.640 Green Deal. That's his exact quote, Biden's Green Deal. So he's getting a semantic issue there.

00:18:23.720 And obviously, Biden's Green Deal doesn't go as far as Bernie Sanders and AOC. But Bernie Sanders

00:18:29.560 actually came out three weeks ago and just told all his fellow progressives, socialists,

00:18:34.060 just stay calm. Let's let the election go. And then we'll be kind of like, don't come in and start

00:18:38.980 criticizing Biden for walking away. And it's a very smart strategic move because they don't want the

00:18:47.400 progressives to tip their hand and scare off any of these so-called undecided voters, although it's

00:18:52.240 hard to believe anyone can be undecided in America right now.

00:18:54.680 Yeah. Let me ask you, I've been, I mean, you and I said to each other just before we turned the camera

00:19:00.540 on how on a knife's edge the election is. It really feels like it did four years ago. 50-50

00:19:07.320 could go either way. So many states up for grabs. I want to believe that Texas is impenetrable to the

00:19:16.580 Democrats. But Beto O'Rourke came mighty close when he was running there. And, you know, because the

00:19:23.900 demographic changes and there's been tens of millions of dollars spent by Soros-type financiers,

00:19:30.960 if they took Texas, the Republicans would never win again. I think they thought they could turn

00:19:38.640 Texas blue. I'm hoping that this oil talk keeps Texas red. Do you think there's any chance Texas

00:19:46.020 would tilt Democrat? I mean, ask me five years ago, I would have laughed. That would be like saying

00:19:50.800 Alberta, Canada would vote liberal, Texas voting Democrat. But Beto O'Rourke came within a couple

00:19:56.780 of points of it, didn't he? I can't remember the exact number. I think it was maybe 53-47. I can't

00:20:03.000 remember. Yes. First of all, if Texas goes, there's no way Trump's going to win. I mean, because that

00:20:07.880 would indicate a groundswell for Biden against Trump. And, you know, the media is doing all the same

00:20:13.740 stuff they did last time. Georgia's in play. I don't think it's in play now. However, as you mentioned,

00:20:19.380 demographic changes, people are leaving California. A lot of people are heading to Texas. Immigration,

00:20:24.720 illegal immigration, legal immigration. So the whole state is changing. It's targeted because it

00:20:29.840 doesn't help the progressives to have, you know, huge majorities in New York or California. They need

00:20:35.860 to spread out. And so believe me, any politicians and even the federal government, they're going to try

00:20:41.380 to spread those voters out to try to neuter places like that. And of course, Florida is great. Florida's

00:20:47.900 very much has been on the edge. I mean, the governor's race, it was, you know, these are close

00:20:52.340 enough all within call, although it looks like Trump has Florida, even if he doesn't win the

00:20:57.100 presidency. But everything's in play because it's very simple, Ezra, especially in the era of the

00:21:03.260 COVID lockdowns. The more people that are harmed economically, the more the government is going to

00:21:10.020 bail out and come up. Guaranteed income now is very likely. It's probably going to be a bipartisan

00:21:15.100 bill within five years because of, you know, this is what the progressives achieved. This is what

00:21:20.520 they were able to do with COVID. So the more people that they can get on government, the more

00:21:24.620 people they can control and either control through the lockdowns, control through environmental or

00:21:29.760 energy regulation, the more people that it's going to be harder and harder to ever defeat that.

00:21:36.580 My hope is that this election, I don't think it's going to be decided on fracking. I think this

00:21:40.960 election is very simple. Are people in America sick, and America is the last bastion, I consider

00:21:47.480 it a last bastion. This is the country where it would turn back. Are they sick of having unelected

00:21:52.980 bureaucrats tell them they can't go to weddings, funerals, have barbecues, have Thanksgiving dinner,

00:21:57.380 Christmas dinner? Are they sick of telling them they had to put on a mask in between bites with your

00:22:02.340 family? I think, and Trump is focusing on this in the last few weeks of this campaign, I think that

00:22:09.040 could be the ultimate. If Trump wins and wins decisively, I think it's going to be a electoral

00:22:14.100 shock against COVID lockdowns, and not on energy policy, not on foreign policy, not on even economics.

00:22:21.400 I think that's it. And I think if it goes the other way, then I think Americans are ready to be ruled

00:22:26.420 to large. Many Americans are ready to be ruled, and they got the majority this time.

00:22:32.000 You know, I think you're right. I think that part of the debate, and we love talking with you about

00:22:37.340 energy and environmentalism. That's your area of expertise, but you're also used to work on Capitol

00:22:43.140 Hill, so I know you know politics very well. And this is turning into a bit of a review on the debate,

00:22:48.040 but I remember Trump was, I think, at his most persuasive when he said, look, I got the illness, but I

00:22:53.420 came back. My wife and son got it, barely even noticed it with Barron, and we got to live. We got to,

00:23:01.380 you know, I mean, and he sounded so reasonable there, actually, if I recall. And I think a lot

00:23:07.140 of Americans just want to be allowed to be normal and not locked down and not stressed out, and not

00:23:14.460 in this, what was supposed to be a two weeks till we flatten the curve moment. I actually think

00:23:19.220 that the media class loves masks, loves lockdown. I read some tweet from the UK that said there's not

00:23:25.960 a lockdown. There's just middle-class people who have, working-class people deliver them food.

00:23:32.840 Middle-class people working from home while working-class people deliver them food. And it's

00:23:37.460 right, for the ruling classes, the media class, the political class, they've loved the pandemic.

00:23:42.540 No one's lost any money. They've had a lot of free time at home, and, you know, a lot of them have,

00:23:48.980 government furloughs have been getting full pay for zero work. The actual, the real working class 1.00

00:23:54.180 is sick of it. Moms are sick of it. People who are sick of being told to wear masks that 1.00

00:24:00.020 do work, don't work, do they work? I think that that issue is a sleeper. And I think Trump

00:24:07.220 definitely has the edge there. Boy, give me a prediction. I hate to ask you for it.

00:24:14.020 Because I'm the same as you. It's 50-50 to me. Do you think he's going to pull it off on Tuesday?

00:24:19.000 Well, the background is this. Had COVID lockdowns not happened, not if COVID could have come,

00:24:23.380 we could have handled it like we handled the 1968 flus, 1957, the Hong Kong Asian flus.

00:24:28.340 No reason to have ever locked down. No reason for Trump to have put Fauci up. But had that never

00:24:32.320 happened, Trump was cruising to a, I would say, an easy re-election. I mean, with the lowest,

00:24:36.660 best economy, lowest unemployment. However, I'd say it's 50-50 now because of this mail-in balloting,

00:24:43.180 the potential for fraud, the whole idea of the election coming on a lot on Trump's personality.

00:24:50.620 The Democrats were successfully able to make that an issue. So you got your soccer moms not voting 1.00

00:24:55.260 on whether kids are going to school or COVID lockdowns or fracking or energy or economy.

00:25:00.120 They're voting on, oh, you know, I'm so sick of Trump and hearing about him in the media.

00:25:03.980 That's part of the strategy. I'd say it's 50-50. On some days, my gut says Biden. Other days,

00:25:10.060 I see more hope for Trump. But I think ultimately, my meter tilts to Biden somehow pulling this out.

00:25:16.000 And I don't know why, but I do think the possibility of electoral anti-lockdown COVID shock

00:25:22.180 that could be heard around the world. And I'm talking about places like North Carolina,

00:25:26.800 where the Democratic governor has gyms closed and movie theaters closed. I don't think North

00:25:32.200 Carolinians in the South and America can put up with that. But I could be wrong. He's up for 0.99

00:25:36.700 re-election this year. That's a bellwether for me. I don't care what the polls show.

00:25:39.860 So this is where we are. But I predicted Trump would lose in 2016. So I always like to give you

00:25:47.220 my track record in terms of that. So in terms of Trump predictions. So take it for what it's worth.

00:25:54.200 I think it's 50-50 edge to Biden. Yeah. Well, it's better to be pessimistic. That means your

00:25:59.960 feelings aren't hurt if it turns out poorly. And you get a boost if you're wrong.

00:26:05.440 And it's so hard to tell. I agree with you. Fraud's a big issue. The tech companies are

00:26:11.060 suppressing stories and suppressing and sharing of social media posts that was really key to Trump

00:26:16.820 last time. And I have to say, even though it's five days till the election, in these days,

00:26:23.680 five days is an eternity. There may still be a November surprise that we get. I mean,

00:26:32.260 I know that sounds crazy. But I mean, just think about what happens in any given week,

00:26:36.820 whether it's peace with Bahrain, or the president going in and then coming out of hospital for the

00:26:41.860 virus, or the Hunter Biden lab. I mean, almost every day, we have a month's worth of news. So

00:26:47.600 you never know what will happen between now and then. Great to see you, Mark. Let's hope for the

00:26:51.860 best. This is important, not just to America, but to Canada and the world, too. Thanks for joining us.

00:26:56.480 Thank you, Ezra. I appreciate it.

00:26:57.540 All right. What a pleasure to have you. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:26:59.520 I'll never forget it.

00:27:11.920 Hey, welcome back on my monologue last night. A.B. writes,

00:27:15.920 Politicians organize rallies of thousands of people. No one bats an eye. And one little family

00:27:20.100 organizes Christmas dinner, and everyone loses their minds. Yeah, you're talking about the cops

00:27:24.400 in the UK saying they're going to go break up Christmas dinners. You know what? You can do that

00:27:29.180 in a country that you have disarmed, in a country without firearms. So yeah, maybe they're going

00:27:33.080 to do it. And really, half the Brits seem to be going along with things anyway, so they'll comply.

00:27:39.100 Mike writes, don't kid yourselves, this is coming to Canada. It might. It might. We're halfway between

00:27:44.600 the UK and the United States in many ways. We haven't seen the kind of abuses here yet, thank God.

00:27:50.660 Knock on wood, that we have in the UK and Australia. I hope we don't.

00:27:53.580 On my interview with Sheila Gunn-Reed, McGuire writes, hold their feet to the fire, rebels show

00:27:59.500 the public how these crooked elitists operate. You know what I learned after, I spoke to the lawyer

00:28:04.080 after the trial yesterday, after the hearing, and he said there were six lawyers on the government

00:28:09.080 side. Six government lawyers in the court all day. We had one lawyer. Six lawyers. I thought Alberta

00:28:19.020 was in a recession. I thought they were short of funding. I thought they were running a huge deficit.

00:28:22.940 I thought there were problems with health care and unemployment. I didn't know the government of

00:28:26.980 Alberta had so much money they could put six government lawyers on our case of this billboard.

00:28:33.140 And what's even stranger is I don't know why it's happening under Jason Kenney's premiership.

00:28:36.900 I don't know, but we'll keep fighting. If you want to learn more, go to rebeltrial.com.

00:28:41.360 All right, that's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel

00:28:45.020 Edwards, to you at all, good night. Keep fighting for freedom.
