Rebel News Podcast - Proof You Cannot Trust A Word The CBC Ever Says

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. I have proof, incontrovertible proof, that the CBC lies. I'm not talking about

00:00:07.300 having a left-wing opinion. I'm not talking about an opinion. They lie like a rug. I know this will

00:00:13.840 shock you, but I'll provide you with proof. Hey, before I do, let me invite you to become a

00:00:57.440 Tonight, I have incontrovertible proof that you just can't trust a word the CBC ever says.

00:01:05.200 It's December 16th. This is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:09.980 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:13.760 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:17.820 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:22.440 bloody right to do so.

00:01:28.480 I understand bias. We all have it. That's fine. You can be biased but still be fair. There are some

00:01:36.040 reporters I have dealt with who are very left-wing, but they are so fair I actually think it's a real

00:01:43.120 pleasure to be interviewed by them because at worst I'll get a good debate from them, but there's an

00:01:49.620 intellectual honesty and no gotcha journalism. It's been a while but Charlie Smith in Vancouver's

00:01:56.540 Georgia Strait is an example of that and even a few years back my dealings with Edward Keenan of

00:02:03.160 the Toronto Star. Very biased but very fair to me at least. I can live with that. I'm sort of used to

00:02:11.220 being a conservative in a leftist world, the media being even more think-alike than most, but what about

00:02:17.620 when a media company is so biased it literally refuses to even acknowledge reality? It just

00:02:24.540 will not even run a story at all even to criticize it because to acknowledge a story is to concede

00:02:32.340 a partisan point. We saw that recently in the United States when the shocking revelations

00:02:36.800 about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, came to light. He's under all sorts of investigations

00:02:42.020 for his corrupt dealings with China and Russia and Ukraine. He's under FBI investigation for tax evasion

00:02:48.820 and he even had his entire computer hard drive made public emails, photos, videos, including videos

00:02:56.480 and photos purporting to show him smoking crack cocaine with strippers and prostitutes.

00:03:03.580 I know it sounds crazy but it really was his hard drive and he really had those photos and videos on it

00:03:10.780 and they were published. The New York Post, one of America's largest and oldest newspapers,

00:03:16.280 published the news about Hunter Biden and his laptop but then Twitter literally banned them from tweeting

00:03:23.140 about it and banned anyone who retweeted the New York Post for days and days total ban, total election interference.

00:03:31.940 That's insane censorship but Twitter, they don't pretend to be journalists, right? I don't know what they are.

00:03:37.040 They're not really a platform. I think they're censors more than anything. They don't actually generate content

00:03:41.780 but they censor things. But look at this from something called National Public Radio, NPR.

00:03:47.720 We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories and we don't want to waste

00:03:54.720 the listeners and readers time on stories that are just pure distractions. That is what they had to say

00:04:00.980 about the Hunter Biden laptop. They were explaining why they weren't even covering the stories to

00:04:06.120 criticize them. With that, they just said Hunter Biden wasn't news. That was in October when it mattered.

00:04:12.780 Now it's November and then December where we are now, halfway through December.

00:04:16.300 And now after the election we know that it was a huge story. That there are investigations. And they

00:04:23.140 don't just touch on Joe Biden's son but on Joe Biden's brother. And obviously the only reason his

00:04:28.860 ne'er-do-well brother and his ne'er-do-well son are receiving lavish payments from foreigners 0.99

00:04:33.940 is not because they have any skills. But of course because they are related to Joe Biden himself. They're

00:04:39.940 selling their family relationship to him. So of course Joe Biden is newsworthy and these scandals

00:04:45.660 obviously are about Joe Biden at least at one degree of separation. But National Public Radio

00:04:51.880 said it was too boring. It's a distraction from, you know, more important things. Do you see what I

00:04:57.400 mean? You can cover the Hunter Biden story with bias. You're on Biden's side but you still cover it.

00:05:04.060 But if you are so extreme that you don't even cover it, well you're not a journalist anymore are you?

00:05:11.180 You're a what? I don't know. A propagandist? A liar? A partisan? A censor? A political campaigner? I don't

00:05:17.380 know. But you're not a reporter. And let me now bring you to the CBC. They're reporters, sort of.

00:05:24.640 They're government reporters. You have to have that adjective, that qualifier, that modifier.

00:05:29.620 They're government reporters which is a very different thing. In the story of the year in Canada

00:05:35.840 that we broke here at Rebel News about the China files, the CBC are not reporters. They're not even

00:05:43.200 government reporters. They haven't reported on them at all. They haven't shown them. They haven't

00:05:47.040 reported them with bias. They just pretend the documents don't exist. We broke that news story

00:05:52.040 seven days ago. Last Wednesday at 2.15 p.m. to be precise. We put all the documents up on our website

00:05:58.840 in full for the world to look at. We gave them to everyone. Later that day the Globe and Mail

00:06:04.280 reported on them. And then later the National Post. And then the next day the Toronto Sun

00:06:08.000 reported on them. And the Sun moved the story forward proving that Canada in fact did train

00:06:13.180 Chinese soldiers at CFB Petawawa in 2018. And within days huge American and foreign media

00:06:20.920 covered it too. I went on Fox News' largest show, Tucker Carlson. That was pretty fun.

00:06:26.760 But nothing, nothing from the CBC on Wednesday, on Thursday, on Friday. This was the biggest

00:06:33.760 story of the year until the weekend when literally there was a one sentence vague mention of it

00:06:39.960 on the CBC website. Not even a TV or radio story. I mentioned in passing and not showing the

00:06:45.940 documents. One sentence. Nothing on TV or radio news. The biggest scoop of the year. Don't take

00:06:53.120 it from me. It just absolutely was the biggest story of the year. It involved China. It involved 0.89

00:06:57.880 the Canadian Armed Forces. It involved Trudeau in internal battles and training Chinese troops

00:07:03.020 at Canadian bases and our allies objecting to that and secret documents that were released

00:07:08.200 by accident. And the two kidnapped Canadians, Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig. There was

00:07:13.480 literally nothing about this story that was not newsworthy. The CBC didn't try to spin

00:07:19.520 it. They just hid it. They just put a cone of silence over it. Until yesterday, six days

00:07:27.980 after our scoop, the CBC sat down with one of the CBC's masters, a Trudeau cabinet minister

00:07:34.820 named Francois-Philippe Champagne. The foreign minister who thought it was appropriate to have

00:07:40.240 a $1 million mortgage from the Bank of China, a state bank in the communist China, even after

00:07:46.940 he was elected as an MP, even after he was appointed to cabinet, even after he was appointed

00:07:51.080 to foreign minister. He's talking about China in the cabinet room while owing the Chinese

00:07:55.880 Communist Party and their bank more than a million dollars. You can't make that up. So

00:08:00.600 watch this clip. Watch this clip. Take a look.

00:08:05.280 The reason I asked for a framework is, and you're well aware of this, the opposition charges

00:08:09.260 that your policy towards China is incoherent. There was recently an article in the Globe

00:08:13.960 and Mail which seemed to underscore that argument. It showed that the military had a certain posture

00:08:20.360 when it came to joint exercises with the Chinese military in this country, and that there was

00:08:25.040 a lot of pushback from your department about that. They didn't want disengagement when it

00:08:30.880 came to China. And this was a few months after Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were detained.

00:08:34.960 They didn't want to reduce the bilateral interactions or relationships in any capacity.

00:08:42.060 How are Canadians supposed to swear that one arm of the Canadian government says we shouldn't

00:08:47.020 be increasing our engagement or maintaining our engagement with China, while your arm,

00:08:51.260 another arm, says don't do anything to anger China? Are you more worried about China's

00:08:56.060 reactions than you are about Canadians?

00:08:57.860 No, but let's put that in context of time. Now we're referring things to which date backs

00:09:03.200 at least, at best, two years ago, or two years ago.

00:09:06.200 Yeah, to the beginning of 2019.

00:09:07.620 And the point is that what I kept saying at the beginning, and I think people are watching

00:09:11.700 understand, China of 2020, not China of 2018, not China of 2016. And even some of colleagues

00:09:18.360 in Europe would say that the framework they've put at the beginning of this year is not any

00:09:22.180 more accurate because things are evolving so quickly when it comes to China. So my point to

00:09:27.400 that, what you were referring to was discussion between officials, which date back years. Clearly

00:09:34.800 the posture of Canada has changed since then.

00:09:36.920 But Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor had already been detained.

00:09:40.780 And that was at the time. And like I said, our view and our posture has been changing because now

00:09:47.580 you're talking almost...

00:09:48.400 You wouldn't have pushed back today like there was pushback then. Not you, I know it was somebody else.

00:09:52.640 No, no, but I would say we would never consider that today to do what was done. But my point is

00:09:57.660 that we always have to put that in time because you could refer back that the previous government

00:10:02.740 assigned also a joint exercise agreement or some framework. You would never do that today.

00:10:10.420 I think people don't understand that.

00:10:11.840 Now, it doesn't bother me that Vasily Kapilos of the CBC mentions the Globe and Mail instead of us,

00:10:16.860 because it's true, the Globe and Mail did do the story. It's bizarre to me how she describes

00:10:21.920 the documents. She never mentions secret documents, never shows the documents, just mentions the

00:10:28.280 Globe and Mail. So if you didn't read the Globe and Mail, you probably don't even know what she's

00:10:31.240 talking about, really. She lets her boss, that Liberal cabinet minister, get away with pretending this 0.94

00:10:37.140 was done years ago. No, it wasn't. It was 2019. It was last year. It was just last year that this

00:10:44.500 pro-China Trudeau government was screaming at the army for daring to want to cancel a cold-weather

00:10:49.480 warfare exercise. It wasn't ancient history. It was 2019. It was last year. After China took our 0.89

00:10:55.860 two hostages, that's what made it extra outrageous. This little weasel was trying to say, oh, 0.74

00:11:01.360 China is very different now. No, it's not. And the CBC's obedient employee did not push back. 0.97

00:11:09.700 But look at the tweet that included that video. Look at this. I just want to show you what they

00:11:15.360 wrote. Not the video. They wrote, François-Philippe Champagne says Canada would never today consider

00:11:23.900 joint military exercises like the exercises that were reportedly planned and subsequently cancelled

00:11:30.200 in 2019 between the Canadian Armed Forces and China's People's Liberation Army. Story first reported

00:11:37.120 by Globe and Mail. So in the video clip, Vassie Kaplos says the story was in the Globe and Mail,

00:11:44.620 which is true. It obscures the full truth, but the story was reported in the Globe. She didn't

00:11:50.480 describe the story or show the documents, but it was in the Globe. That's fine. I don't really care.

00:11:55.780 But look at the written version. Story first reported by the Globe and Mail. But that's just not true,

00:12:05.460 is it? Who wrote that? And why would they write that? Look at all the replies to that tweet. Scroll

00:12:13.000 down. Keep scrolling. Keep scrolling. Everyone calling her out as a liar again and again. And keep

00:12:23.480 scrolling. Keep going down slowly. The CBC just being butchered by the millions of people who know.

00:12:31.600 It came from us. Even other media, including in the United States, mentioned it too. This is a lie.

00:12:38.080 Story was broke by Rebel Media and Ezra Levant. Huge, huge. I mean, five million people, or however many

00:12:45.280 watched Tucker Carlson on Fox, saw where the documents came from. I really don't think anyone

00:12:51.220 in Canada actually watches CBC Politics. If you look at the CBC's latest viewership statistics,

00:12:56.700 they're plunging. It's really as close to zero as it gets. I think there's just like three percent

00:13:01.700 of Canadians even watch it. It's, I don't know. Maybe there's a relationship there. Maybe the fact

00:13:09.200 that so few people watch the CBC is related to the fact that so few people trust the CBC.

00:13:15.720 We're biased here at Rebel News. We're conservative. Just heads up in case you didn't know. But you've

00:13:20.240 never seen us kill a story to support a Tory. In fact, the conservative party, the fact that we

00:13:27.520 can't be controlled by them, I think they hate that about us as much as Trudeau hates that about us.

00:13:34.060 Same reason as that loser Andrew Scheer who stopped talking to us after we criticized him. We're 0.77

00:13:38.480 independent, which is why I think people trust us even when they disagree with us, even when they're

00:13:44.820 liberal. They know we have an opinion, but we are fair. And we break stories. And we talk about the

00:13:50.980 news even when we don't like the news. Not the CBC. They simply don't talk about stories, huge stories,

00:13:59.100 stories of the year, when those stories embarrass their liberal boss, Justin Trudeau, and his crooked, 0.97

00:14:05.960 crooked cronies. And when they do finally mention it in a tweet seven days later, they lie like a rug.

00:14:14.820 CBC hates you. I think the CBC hates a lot of Canadians. But judging by their ratings,

00:14:21.980 I think the feeling is mutual. Stay with us for more.

00:14:37.820 You know, in this battle for the soul of America, democracy prevailed. We, the people, voted.

00:14:44.360 Faith in our institutions held. In America, politicians don't take power. People grant

00:14:52.280 power to them. The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. And we now know

00:15:00.280 nothing, not even a pandemic or an abuse of power, can extinguish that flame.

00:15:05.960 The court sent a clear signal to President Trump.

00:15:10.480 Well, that is a clip of Joe Biden in the wake of the electoral college vote that gives him formally

00:15:18.060 the title of president-elect. It looks like Donald Trump's last-ditch legal efforts have failed. There

00:15:26.260 still is an obscure path to victory for Trump. But I think we have to acknowledge that it is

00:15:31.600 most unlikely. However, in his moment of victory, Joe Biden was bitter, negative, continuing the attack

00:15:39.980 instead of uniting America, poking at those who didn't support him. It was an incredible speech

00:15:46.400 punctuated by bursts of coughing. Here's a quick glimpse of that.

00:15:53.400 And once again, in America, the rule of law, more Americans voted this year than have ever voted

00:16:01.100 in the history of the United States of votes counted. The Pence received when they won in 2016.

00:16:06.780 Excuse me. Or dispute the results margin four years ago. And yet, I thank them. And I'm convinced

00:16:18.200 we can work together for the good of the nation on many subjects. That's the duty owed to the people,

00:16:25.220 to our Constitution, to our history.

00:16:28.060 Well, what do you make of this speech? And will Joe Biden even make it to inauguration?

00:16:33.120 Joining us now via Skype from the Los Angeles area is our friend Joel Pollack, senior editor

00:16:38.580 at large of Breitbart.com and the author of the new e-book, Neither Fair Nor Free. Is that the title

00:16:47.380 of your new e-book, Joel?

00:16:50.220 Neither Free Nor Fair, the 2020 U.S. presidential election. And yes, it's about how our election

00:16:57.740 was distorted by the Democrats, by the media, by various other institutions to make it very

00:17:05.100 difficult for Donald Trump to win. If you zoom out from the question of voter fraud, which

00:17:09.320 people are still very concerned about, and you look at the election as a whole, this was

00:17:13.440 not an election conducted by what would be standard democratic standards or standard international

00:17:20.920 practice. This was skewed against the president, and it's actually as remarkable that he did as well

00:17:27.900 as he did.

00:17:28.800 Yeah. As you point out, this unfairness and this unfreeness was not done in the main illegally.

00:17:36.920 That's the crazy thing, is it was approved by courts, usually litigated, not legislated.

00:17:43.260 So the big steal didn't happen with, you know, extra ballots being sneaked in, in the dead of

00:17:49.480 night. It happened months earlier with the vote harvesting. But let's talk about, we had a great

00:17:55.060 interview with you about your book before. I'm sorry, I just, the last moment I thought, oh my

00:17:58.600 God, this is your expertise. This is your turf. But last night, Biden gave a speech and, you know,

00:18:05.680 do a victory lap or the opposite. Be magnanimous. I mean, you finally won. I think it's fair to,

00:18:12.220 I mean, 99.9% chance. Let me put it this way. A lot of those British betting houses that let

00:18:18.260 people bet on political outcomes, they refused to pay out until yesterday, where I think one of

00:18:25.260 the big ones paid out over a billion euros. So that's how certain they are. Let me put it that

00:18:29.960 way. Instead of saying, all right, I won. I got everything I ever wanted. Let me actually be

00:18:35.080 magnanimous for an hour. Biden couldn't do it, could he?

00:18:38.240 No. And I think he ought to reach out to Trump and his supporters. He actually has the unique

00:18:48.100 opportunity and ability to do so because he's now the president-elect. So he has what he wanted,

00:18:54.140 and he can bring the country together if he reaches out, if he talks about the things that

00:19:01.960 Trump contributed to the country, if he thanks Trump for Operation Warp Speed. Biden's pretending

00:19:06.500 this vaccination plan is now his own. You know, he's out there promising to vaccinate 100 million

00:19:11.240 people by March. Well, that's what Trump's already doing. So if he acknowledged that Trump had a

00:19:17.440 positive effect on the country, even if his own supporters don't believe it, even if Biden supporters

00:19:22.400 would be upset, if he said to Trump and his supporters, thanks for your service, thanks for

00:19:27.520 what you did, let's move ahead together, I think that would be incredible, actually. And he has the

00:19:33.800 opportunity to do it. President Trump reached out when he won in his victory speech, he reached out

00:19:39.640 to those who didn't vote for him and so forth and was simply met by conspiracy theories and resistance

00:19:45.200 and hostility. I think when you are the winner of the election, it's in your best interest to be

00:19:53.640 magnanimous. But instead, Biden continued arguing the case that he had already won. Biden continued

00:19:59.480 arguing why these challenges by the Trump campaign had fallen short. And he seemed irritated that they

00:20:06.300 had even been brought rather than saying the other side had its rights, the other side had its day in

00:20:11.960 court, the other side challenged these results and we respect their right to do so. No, he basically

00:20:18.000 expressed irritation. This is a guy who couldn't admit that Trump was a legitimate president. I mean,

00:20:24.480 as recently as last May, he was agreeing with Democratic voters who said that Trump was

00:20:30.180 illegitimate and was placed in office by Russia. So Biden and the Democrats refused to accept Trump's

00:20:36.900 election as legitimate for years. And yet Biden is somehow annoyed that Trump is going through the

00:20:42.180 legal system and exhausting every option he has. I mean, that's what Democrats would do in the same

00:20:47.620 position. So the idea that what Trump is doing is somehow illegitimate. The other thing Biden did was

00:20:52.580 he condemned intimidation and threats and so forth against poll workers, election workers, election

00:20:59.720 officials. He was right to do so, but he didn't condemn the physical attacks on Trump supporters

00:21:04.900 that have happened since the election. He didn't condemn the intimidation against Trump's lawyers.

00:21:09.800 With Biden, condemnation of violence is almost always entirely in one direction. And he pretends that

00:21:16.340 the violence is a right wing problem. It is overwhelmingly 99 percent a left wing problem in this country.

00:21:21.620 And by ignoring that, he's effectively condoning it. He's not going to stop the left from doing

00:21:28.240 violent things. He's not going to stop the left from intimidating lawyers and destroying that aspect

00:21:34.280 of our judicial system, that everyone has the right to representation, that everyone has a right to a

00:21:38.240 defense or just to make their case in court. And I think Biden burned bridges with that speech. He could

00:21:44.700 have reached out and instead he is proving himself to be the servant of a party that is bent on vengeance,

00:21:50.260 not on reconciliation. The only Republicans Biden is interested in talking to are those who don't like

00:21:54.880 Trump. That's not who you have to negotiate with. The people you have to reconcile with are the 75 million

00:22:00.780 people who supported Donald Trump and Donald Trump himself. And Biden's never really reached out

00:22:06.340 personally. He continues to treat Trump like some kind of usurper, like some kind of dilettante 0.51

00:22:11.500 interloper who never got elected properly in the first place. That's not going to fly. And if Biden does that,

00:22:17.100 the country is going to remain divided for years into the future. This is an opportunity for him

00:22:21.600 to lead by telling Trump that his service is appreciated, by giving Trump, in a sense, a

00:22:26.820 dignified exit, and also by telling Democrats stop pursuing Trump with these fruitless investigations.

00:22:31.740 You know, they're promising investigations ad infinitum of Trump and his family. For what? We don't know.

00:22:36.640 They're just going to find something. They're going to just investigate. That's corrosive to our

00:22:40.920 democracy. They talk about a peaceful transfer of power. But when you're threatening the other party

00:22:45.160 with continued investigations forever for no reason, that's not a peaceful transfer of power.

00:22:49.840 So Biden has an opportunity and really a responsibility, I would argue, to lead. But

00:22:53.380 he's not doing it. He's choosing the route of division. And I think that's going to have some

00:22:57.580 very serious consequences. You know, Joe, I didn't plan to bring this up. But when you mentioned

00:23:03.960 they're threatening to investigate him and his family ad infinitum, their rationale to come later,

00:23:10.060 they just know what they want to do. I mean, the irony being, of course, that Hunter Biden

00:23:14.200 really was under investigation for some very serious accusations. And the media and the Democrats

00:23:20.060 silenced that. But, you know, this is off topic a little bit. And I didn't plan to bring it up.

00:23:27.860 But not one hour ago, Joel, I received a courier package here at our Rebel News headquarters in Toronto,

00:23:34.660 Canada, from a Democrat deputy attorney general threatening to investigate us for a particular

00:23:44.160 story and activity we did in the United States. Us here in Canada. I'll do a, I won't get into it now,

00:23:52.480 but I mean, I was shocked. And I mean, I'm laughing at it. I mean, come and get me up here in Canada.

00:23:57.660 But if that's how scorched earth these Democrats are going to be, like, who am I? I'm a nobody.

00:24:04.280 I'm up here in Canada. I'm not even an American. We just do, you know, have a website. If I'm getting

00:24:09.880 threat letters from Democrats myself, I can only imagine what it's like to people actually in the

00:24:17.060 Trump campaign and actually in the Republican Party. I mean, forgive me for bringing up the story.

00:24:23.000 It's not really relevant other than it's an anecdotal example of how bitter and vengeful the

00:24:29.180 Democrats are as opposed to magnanimous and healing. As you say in your Breitbart article,

00:24:34.280 he didn't build bridges. He burned them. Yeah, I'd be really interested in the story you published

00:24:42.020 and what they're threatening to do. I mean, that sounds like it's quite newsworthy, but

00:24:47.040 that's what Democrats are aiming to do. They are claiming that questions about voter fraud are

00:24:56.760 foreign disinformation. Now, they spent years on Russia collusion hoaxes and talking about voting

00:25:04.940 machines and so forth. I mean, you can go back and find old video of Joe Biden attacking voting machines,

00:25:09.780 saying that they're subject to interference and hacking and all sorts of things like that. So

00:25:13.580 this has been a bipartisan concern. Neither party's done anything about it. But the idea that you

00:25:18.660 could even raise questions and be accused of essentially acting for foreign interests is so

00:25:23.140 corrosive. Ron Johnson, the senator in charge of the Homeland Security Committee, exploded at his

00:25:28.240 Democratic counterpart, Gary Peters of Michigan, earlier on Wednesday, saying that you guys lied in

00:25:36.320 public, saying that all of these Hunter Biden stories were Russian disinformation, and now they turn out to

00:25:40.200 be true. So the Democrats are in a mood to dismiss anything that is accurate or even just legitimate

00:25:48.260 questions about things that they do, about their political figures. They're prepared to dismiss it

00:25:52.900 as foreign disinformation and to imply that you're committing a crime by reporting it or even bringing

00:25:58.000 it up. You can get censored on social media, kicked off of YouTube and so forth. And that's the climate

00:26:04.060 right now in the United States. I mean, you and I talked about it before the election, and here it is.

00:26:07.880 And we'll see how far it goes. But certainly Joe Biden has done nothing to stop it. And in fact,

00:26:13.520 as Jonathan Turley, a liberal constitutional law professor at George Washington University,

00:26:17.480 he's not a Republican, but he shares many classical liberal views on freedom of speech. He's pointed

00:26:24.140 out that the Biden campaign has insisted for months on restricting freedom of speech on censorship on

00:26:30.620 social media platforms, and that some of the advisors he's appointed to his transition team

00:26:34.980 are some of the most vigorous advocates of censorship in public life in America. They think that if

00:26:41.960 stories are inaccurate or even just inconvenient, they should be drummed out of the public square.

00:26:50.140 The answer to them isn't more speech. The answer to them is less speech, and they want to decide who

00:26:54.160 gets to speak. This is who Joe Biden is bringing into the American administration. So after all of the

00:26:59.200 ridiculous fantasization of Trump as a kind of would-be Hitler, we now have Democrats openly

00:27:07.260 promising to restrict freedom of speech in America and saying that the censorship that's been handed 0.84

00:27:12.620 down already by the social media companies hasn't gone far enough. So you're getting a taste of that

00:27:16.760 with the attorney general or deputy, whoever it was, sending you that kind of threat for a media story.

00:27:23.580 I mean, the right response to a media story that doesn't meet the definition of libel is simply

00:27:27.800 to put out your version of the story. And, you know, you're seeing some of that with the debate

00:27:32.400 over voter fraud in America. You know, there was a story from Michigan about a voting machine turning

00:27:36.500 out a 68 percent error rate, and they had an expert in front of that same Senate Homeland Security

00:27:42.060 Committee who said that's not really accurate. The 68 percent figure represents a message that's

00:27:46.880 generated, but it's not an error. So, you know, you put out the correct information. Of course,

00:27:51.280 the lie goes halfway around the world, and it's harder to catch up with it. But as long as the

00:27:54.800 information gets out there, things that are inaccurate tend to fall away, or at least they

00:27:59.200 discredit the people who repeat them after a certain period of time, you know, when there's

00:28:02.420 sufficient time to inform yourself about what the actual facts are. But Democrats don't even want

00:28:07.900 to let that process happen. And that process is necessary if people are going to believe each other,

00:28:12.380 but Democrats just want to use the heavy hand of government and the immense power of Silicon Valley to

00:28:16.500 control public discourse. Yeah. If you've got 75 million plus Americans who voted for

00:28:21.240 Trump, they're in different degrees of passion and ideological partisanship. I mean, many of those

00:28:28.060 people are just severely normal people who think about politics once every four years.

00:28:33.400 Those, let's say, moderate Trumpists or centrists or independents would be the people most receptive

00:28:40.300 to a message of reconciliation because they would say, oh, okay, so we lost the battle, but we are all

00:28:45.860 still one family, and we all still abide by the rules, and we're coming together again. Like, you'll

00:28:51.680 never convince the hardest line partisans on either side. But I think there's a feeling, and I'm, look,

00:28:58.100 I'm in Canada, I'm not in the States, but there's a feeling that amongst many Republicans that they

00:29:03.080 didn't just lose the election, it was taken from them in unfair ways. That's what your book describes.

00:29:08.440 So a generous word can take the sting out of a feeling that you've been hard done by. Losing a

00:29:16.740 game fair and square, most people are fine with that. That's sports. You lose the battle. Maybe you're

00:29:21.220 even disappointed in yourself more than anything. You're impressed by the winner. But when you feel

00:29:25.300 it was stolen from you, you have a deep dissatisfaction. A kind word of encouragement and soothing,

00:29:32.820 I know those are alien words in politics, would probably take the sting out for half of those 75

00:29:39.940 million, yet not one of them will get that. And as you warn us, harsher things to come. Last word to

00:29:46.580 you, Joel. You know, I think both sides can be better. I mean, I don't think Trump has necessarily

00:29:52.760 helped himself with some of the things he said. And I've often thought back, I don't know what you think

00:29:57.440 about this in Canada, but I've often thought back to Prime Minister Harper's closing speech when he

00:30:04.520 lost to Justin Trudeau, where he said, the people are never wrong. And it struck me as kind of an

00:30:11.140 interesting statement, because sometimes people are wrong. I mean, you know, I mean, half the people

00:30:15.640 don't think the other people, the other half got it right. But it struck me as one of the most profound

00:30:21.060 sentiments about good sportsmanship in an election, that you're just going to accept the result.

00:30:25.980 I think the difficulty that Trump may have with saying that in this election is that

00:30:31.020 it's not entirely clear what the result is. You know, it's not entirely clear that this result

00:30:36.120 was arrived at honestly. But I do think that Trump could help himself by saying something like that,

00:30:41.680 that, you know, he accepts the judgment of the people and the people really have ratified his

00:30:45.460 policies in many ways. I mean, they've given Republicans more seats in the House and so forth.

00:30:49.980 So I think Trump could be doing more as well. But I agree that it's really, it really would be

00:30:55.420 helpful if Biden would appeal to the other side, and not just by appealing to the Republicans that

00:31:00.560 are sort of media approved, but to the ones who actually enjoy some legitimacy among Trump's 75

00:31:05.740 million vote strong base. Yeah. Well, listen, great to talk with you again. We're speaking with Joel

00:31:10.740 Pollack, senior editor at large of Breitbart.com. And his e-book, which is available right now,

00:31:16.000 and we'll put an Amazon link below this video, is Neither Free Nor Fair,

00:31:20.080 the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Great to see you, Joel. Take care, my friend.

00:31:25.860 Thank you. All right. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:31:39.340 Hey, welcome back on my show last night. Paul writes, people may be figuring out that they

00:31:43.420 don't intend to ever end this farce. Yeah. You know what? I'm seeing stories about, well, even if you take

00:31:48.600 the vaccine once, you have to take it again. Oh, and even still, you have to wear face masks.

00:31:52.440 Well, what happened to two weeks to flatten the curve? Andrea writes, the politicians making the

00:31:57.980 rules are total hypocrites. They constantly treat us like children to make us toe the line. I don't 0.97

00:32:02.580 think they believe what they're telling us little people, because if it was as dangerous as they say

00:32:06.700 it is, they wouldn't even want to break the rules. Oh, exactly. It's like when Al Gore is on his

00:32:11.860 private jet or a private yacht talking about global warming. You sort of see they don't mean it.

00:32:16.860 They're not acting like they're terrified. Julie writes, I just purchased the book on Amazon.

00:32:21.540 I can't wait to read it. Ah, you know, I'm so excited that you're buying Raheel's new book

00:32:26.440 called The ABCs of Islamism. I'm so proud that she chose to be published with us. In a way,

00:32:33.780 maybe other publishers would push her out because she's a critic of Islamism. But in a way, I think

00:32:39.840 Raheel could have gone to a lot of places. She's so prestigious. She's so thoughtful. She's got such an

00:32:46.680 excellent voice. What an honor for us to have her publish that book with us. I'm just so proud.

00:32:52.600 And I really want that book to go to number one. If you want to go to the ABCs of Islamism.com,

00:32:57.640 you can find it there or just go to Amazon.ca. Well, my friends, that's our show for today.

00:33:03.160 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,

00:33:06.800 to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.

00:33:09.620 Thank you.
