Rebel News Podcast - Scheer endorses Trudeau’s plan to raise immigration to 350K people a year

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. I have a strange report to you. I asked a question of Andrew Scheer about seven

00:00:04.580 times two years ago, and he never answered me. And he went through life never answering it.

00:00:10.020 And then he went on the CBC with Rosemary Barton and was asked the same question,

00:00:14.280 and he didn't answer it. But then she pressed him again, and he answered it.

00:00:20.620 And the question is, how many immigrants do you think Canada should take every year?

00:00:24.640 And he finally answered it. I'll play you the clip where he does. Hey, before I go and let you

00:00:45.280 It's eight bucks a month. What a bargain. All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:54.640 Tonight, Andrew Scheer wilts under CBC pressure and endorses Justin Trudeau's plan to raise Canadian

00:01:10.080 immigration to 350,000 people a year. It's October 4th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:18.380 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:21.920 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:26.260 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's

00:01:30.660 my bloody right to do so.

00:01:37.300 Andrew Scheer has made it official. He now agrees with Justin Trudeau and Ahmed Hassan. Canada

00:01:43.340 should increase our immigration, increase it to an astonishing, unprecedented level of 1.00

00:01:50.460 350,000 people a year, more than a million more people in three years. Not surprisingly,

00:01:57.060 he made that statement to Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster, to Trudeau's number one fangirl,

00:02:02.720 Rosemary Barton, the one who takes selfies with Trudeau, the one who goes on platonic dates with Trudeau

00:02:10.140 and asks him, what are you listening to on your iPod these days? And hey, what books are you

00:02:16.720 reading? And how come you're so dreamy? All right, I made that last one up. So Rosemary Barton asked

00:02:22.860 Andrew Scheer about immigration levels, and as usual, Andrew Scheer evaded the question.

00:02:29.800 Can you tell me immigration levels? I'm not sure that you've said yet what your immigration

00:02:35.880 levels are you're going to set them at, but what number are you looking at? Is it as high as what

00:02:41.440 the Liberals have now, given our aging demographic, or where is your head at for that?

00:02:46.040 This is an excellent question, because I really do believe that this should be a number that is not

00:02:49.660 politicized in nature. This should be a number that is arrived at when Statistics Canada and experts in

00:02:55.760 various fields say, we need this many people to come to fulfill the gaps in the workplace, or to

00:03:02.160 ensure that we have a growing population, combined with a humanitarian component for family reunification

00:03:07.440 and refugees. So there will be some who will have an auction to go higher and higher, and some parties

00:03:12.320 will have an auction to go lower and lower to kind of politicize it. But what I'm saying is, it shouldn't

00:03:16.320 be a subject of politicization. The Canadians have confidence in their immigration system when it's

00:03:21.120 working right, which is why we want to address the issue at the borders, so that people can see

00:03:25.600 and have confidence that our immigration program is based on orderliness, fairness, and compassion.

00:03:33.760 So he didn't answer, did he? He did say other things, though, and they're just not correct.

00:03:39.360 Immigration levels are always a political decision. It's not just an expert decision that's done by some

00:03:45.920 panel of high priests who are unquestionable. It's not something that a computer just spits out and you

00:03:51.360 do it because there are experts who want less immigration and there are experts who want more

00:03:56.560 immigration. It is the political leader's decision to decide amongst those choices. That's his job,

00:04:02.240 actually. Expert reasons for less immigration include lowering housing costs, especially in the big cities,

00:04:09.520 reducing traffic, reducing demands on hospital waiting lists, raising wages for Canadians. Those are

00:04:17.120 factual reasons that an expert might cite. I acknowledge that there are also reasons an expert

00:04:23.280 could cite for more immigration, too. I find them less persuasive. If you're a landlord, you like having 0.73

00:04:31.360 so many more people trying to buy your house or rent your house. If you're an employer, especially at a

00:04:37.360 place like Tim Hortons, you love plentiful, cheap, low-skill workers coming in to lower and drive down your

00:04:45.920 wages. If you're in government, if you're a bureaucrat of some sort, there's more people to manage, more

00:04:51.360 programs to oversee. And of course, the real reason the liberals love immigration is because they tailor

00:04:57.600 immigration for their own partisan purposes. Here's Ahmed Hassan campaigning in Canada. 0.62

00:05:04.720 Somali-Canadiens in a

00:05:25.680 Somali-Canadiens in a

00:05:29.760 I love that. That's amazing. Do you think his choice of a thousand Somali migrants might just be 0.68

00:05:42.800 a little bit political as opposed to bringing in a thousand, oh, I don't know, cowboys from Texas?

00:05:48.800 Yeah, that's an expert reason. Trudeau loves campaigning in mosques. He sews up the Muslim vote 1.00

00:05:56.240 there. There's always a woman in a hijab strategically nearby him, but he makes sure not to have pictures

00:06:02.240 with women in full face obscuring niqabs. That would be too far. He says it himself. There is no mosque 1.00

00:06:08.400 in Canada that he won't campaign in. He'll even boast about campaigning in the Al-Qaeda-linked

00:06:14.640 Asuna Wahhabi Mosque in Montreal.

00:06:17.760 They spend a lot of time running from the Bangladeshi to the Pakistani to the Maghreb to the Asuna Wahhabi Mosque.

00:06:29.120 Yeah, that's where the terrorists came from. So yeah,

00:06:32.880 that's an expert reason to increase immigration to 350,000 people a year, especially if you're

00:06:38.720 choosing them. By the way, the entire United States, they take about one million immigrants

00:06:45.280 a year. Canada is one-tenth their population. We're taking 350,000 a year now. We're literally

00:06:51.760 taking triple the number of migrants they are proportionately. I can assure you it is not 0.99

00:06:57.360 for economic purposes. It's for political purposes. It's not an expert economic decision

00:07:02.560 by Statistics Canada, or if it is, there is no expert in any other country anywhere in the world

00:07:07.760 who has come to the same conclusion. The 350,000-person-a-year plan by Hassan and Trudeau

00:07:15.840 is not an economic plan. Here is their own document. This is their own plan.

00:07:20.960 Fewer than half of them could even be classified as economic or skilled immigrants. The rest 1.00

00:07:26.560 would be refugees or dependent family members. So maybe one skilled worker would come,

00:07:31.440 and then he'd bring his old grandma and grandpa, maybe from Pakistan, didn't have any economic skills, 0.71

00:07:36.800 but boy, they sure look forward to receiving their Canadian pension and Canadian healthcare in their

00:07:42.640 golden years. So Andrew Scheer tried to evade the question, as he always has. He has literally never

00:07:51.200 gone on record before about what his number would be. Can you imagine that? He became leader of the

00:07:57.920 Conservative Party without ever answering the question. He's been the leader for more than a year without

00:08:02.880 ever answering the question. And he tried again on the CBC not to answer the question. Oh, I know

00:08:09.040 what that's like. In fact, me asking him that same question is precisely why he quit talking to the

00:08:15.280 rebel. It was actually the last time he and I spoke. He was running for the Conservative Party leadership, and I

00:08:21.200 had the temerity to ask him what he thought the number of immigrants should be that Canada should take.

00:08:26.880 And he just wouldn't answer me. Remember this? Well, McCallum has said he's going to jack up the numbers

00:08:32.960 probably by a hundred thousand. Do you oppose that? Well, what's that based on, you know? I don't know.

00:08:37.040 Yeah. So if it's not based on something logical or coherent, then I think it's just a political target

00:08:42.080 aimed at, you know, to trying to win over a segment of the electorate. I'm not going to do that.

00:08:47.440 I, one of the constraints... Are you against that? Well, I am against a policy that just

00:08:53.600 throws a number out for shock value to, or for, to try to gain attention. I want our immigration

00:08:58.400 policy to be, be based on what the needs of the economy are, what the needs of our society,

00:09:02.800 and then let's arrive at a number. And then that'll be defensible. I think your, your point is right.

00:09:06.720 There are areas where, you know, people are looking at saying, well, do we need that many in this

00:09:11.120 region? If it's based on common sense or logic, I think Canadians will be comfortable with that. But I

00:09:15.520 don't think that they're comfortable with just a number for the sake of having a really big number.

00:09:21.760 I wasn't asking for shock value or for attention. I was asking what his number is. He had been an

00:09:27.760 MP for more than 10 years now. He hadn't thought about it. He also evaded my question about cultural

00:09:32.960 fit. Would he take just anyone who wanted to come, even if they had anti-Canadian cultural views,

00:09:39.600 such as if they didn't believe in the equality of men and women, or if they didn't believe in the

00:09:44.000 separation of mosque and state? He would not answer me on that either.

00:09:49.440 I'm talking about someone who, let's say, believes in polygamy, or believes in the subjugation of

00:09:54.720 women, or believes in Islamic supremacism. That's not violence. 1.00

00:09:59.280 No, no. But, you know, when you talk about the practical methods of dealing with immigrants, 0.66

00:10:05.440 you know, here's a, what is it, here's a one-page questionnaire, and is that effective?

00:10:09.520 I don't know.

00:10:10.080 Are we going to police what's going on in people's minds? You know, are, is there room

00:10:14.080 in a country of a difference of opinion on some issues that you might define as a Canadian value,

00:10:18.080 Kelly might have something else, or a liberal might think that, you know, certain positions, 0.57

00:10:24.000 you should be kept out. You know, are, are these types of things going to be applied to,

00:10:28.400 you know, Orthodox Jews or devout Christians coming from other places?

00:10:32.560 I don't know. I'm not running for off of the leader.

00:10:34.240 Yeah, but this is the thing. So that's why I'm not focused on those types of things. I don't think,

00:10:37.760 yes, I think Canadians want to see new immigrants come here and integrate and embrace and, you know,

00:10:44.880 celebrate our Canadian history, our, you know, the rule of law, the, our Westminster system,

00:10:50.640 the equality of men and women. Those are all things, absolutely, yes, and we should promote and

00:10:54.000 ensure that new Canadians understand that and, and, and are, and are willing to accept that.

00:10:59.920 You know, I went around seven rounds with him. He never answered me once. It got tenser and tenser,

00:11:08.000 and then he just decided never to talk to us again. But when Rosemary Barton put the follow-up

00:11:14.560 question to him about the number of migrants this week, he actually answered, here, take a look.

00:11:21.280 But you still didn't give a number and you would have to set a target as government. That's part of

00:11:26.320 your job is to set a government. So if a level, so if the target right now is 350,000 immigrants by

00:11:32.000 2021, is that about what you're looking at? I think that's reasonable. Yeah. And again,

00:11:35.920 as long as that's coming from, from facts, from evidence, from a look at the situation and an

00:11:41.840 understanding of where our society has needs, then absolutely. So I think that's reasonable. Yeah,

00:11:48.240 absolutely. You heard him. The largest immigration numbers in Canadian history, more than any other

00:11:55.680 country in the world proportionately, triple the rate of the U.S. proportionately. And

00:12:01.520 this approach that Ahmed Hassan has outlined that he agrees to, most of the new migrants will not be 0.96

00:12:08.320 economic. They will not work. They'll either be outright refugees or old unskilled grandmas and 1.00

00:12:14.720 grandpas, likely with no English or French fluency, couldn't even work the low wage jobs at Tim Hortons.

00:12:20.480 They'll just take the pension in their hospital room. And that's reasonable, says Andrew Scheer. And

00:12:27.200 how could he even say that though? He just said a moment earlier that he wanted to examine

00:12:33.040 the scientific facts from Statistics Canada or other experts. So how could he then just pronounce

00:12:39.200 that Ahmed Hassan and Justin Trudeau have it just right? So he just said to her he would study the

00:12:46.000 science, but then he immediately caved to her. Well, because it's not a scientific fact from Statistics

00:12:52.800 Canada. That's not what political decisions are made from. It's about Andrew Scheer being afraid of the

00:12:59.040 CBC, being afraid of the media party. He didn't want to evade Rosemary Barton a third time because he's

00:13:04.640 afraid of her. It's a hundred percent the same reason why he caved in on global warming. Because

00:13:11.600 in an interview, a reporter named Evan Solomon asked him about it and Andrew Scheer didn't want

00:13:17.360 30 seconds of discomfort on TV. So he just caved and made policy on the fly. He said,

00:13:23.680 Evan, whatever you want. Remember this? I'm just asking because, you know, this is the big issue

00:13:29.280 because it ties in with pipelines, as you said. The former Harper regulations would not come close

00:13:34.960 to meeting the targets that the Harper government set. And you want to keep those. Will you unveil a

00:13:40.160 plan that will actually meet the Paris targets? Of course I will unveil a plan that reaches the

00:13:45.920 targets that we have already voted in favor of. We believe that Canada has to be part of the

00:13:50.480 solution. We want to have, we will, we will have a meaningful plan to reduce emissions.

00:13:54.320 He, he made up his policy right on the fly. He just made it up. You know, back to immigration, 0.81

00:14:01.040 you know that only 6% of Canadians agree with Ahmed Hassan's extreme position, now Andrew Scheer's

00:14:07.760 extreme position. The 350,000 figure that Scheer says is so sensible, we're not even at that yet.

00:14:12.720 That is an increase from where we are now. No one wants that. Well, sorry, 6% of Canadians want that,

00:14:19.040 according to the Angus Reid poll and every other poll I've seen. 6% want more immigration. That's almost

00:14:24.000 less than the margin of error. So basically it's journalists and liberal party executives and

00:14:30.720 immigration lawyers. That's about it. Obviously, even most Canadian immigrants don't want that if it's

00:14:37.680 just 6%. Look, we need to absorb immigrants and integrate them, learn the language, fit in, become part

00:14:44.720 of our Canadian system. Rather than just stacking up migrants in urban refugee camps like the Radisson, 0.61

00:14:52.160 Toronto East, or allowing a free-for-all at the border. Hey, conservatives, if you would have known

00:15:00.480 this fact two years ago, if Andrew Scheer would have told you back then, back then, rather than telling

00:15:08.480 the CBC this now, would you have chosen him as party leader? Do you suddenly support open border mass

00:15:20.080 migration just because the Conservative Party leader doesn't have the personal ability to say no to a

00:15:25.760 a CBC journalist in the heat of the moment? Stay with us for more.

00:15:44.400 Well, listen, I've been traveling around the country a little bit. Yesterday, I actually went to Winnipeg.

00:15:48.400 I was in Calgary and Edmonton before that. I've been scooching around, not as much as our

00:15:52.320 1B swarms. That's what I call Kean and David and Sheila. But I love checking in with Lorne Gunter

00:16:00.720 because he gives me the pulse of the West, especially of Alberta. Now, I think we know

00:16:06.800 Alberta's going to go pretty much 100% conservative, but it's the ideas and the way the campaign is

00:16:12.720 observed out there that I really want to hear about. And joining me now via Skype is our friend,

00:16:17.360 Lorne Gunter. Lorne, great to see you again. Good to see you.

00:16:20.400 I think that the only question is, will the Conservatives get all of the seats in Alberta,

00:16:26.080 or maybe all minus one? So that's not what's interesting. What I want to get from you,

00:16:30.880 if I may, is the point of view that's outside of the Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal triangle,

00:16:36.800 the echo chamber, the MeTooism. When I say MeToo, I don't mean in the sexual misconduct way,

00:16:41.520 in the ditto, ditto, ditto, the repeaters out here. How is this election being viewed outside the

00:16:47.840 golden triangle?

00:16:51.120 I think an awful lot of people having trouble wrapping their minds around the possibility

00:16:56.320 that the Liberals could actually win, because no one that they talk to is going to support the

00:17:03.120 Liberals. I think you're absolutely right. I think we're headed for 34 of 34 conservative seats in

00:17:09.520 Alberta. That would be similar to 1982 after Justin's daddy had brought in the national energy

00:17:16.880 program. Alberta voted, I think at that time we had 21 MPs. We voted 21 of 21 conservatives.

00:17:26.160 Even Edmonton, which is known, nicknamed Redmonton, votes overwhelmingly conservative

00:17:31.840 at the federal level. I think you might see Edmonton Center, you might see Edmonton Strathcona

00:17:39.440 go to other parties, but by and large, the ear to the ground, I think we're going to go 34 of 34.

00:17:49.120 When people out here talk about that or they talk to their friends in BC or they talk to their friends

00:17:54.080 in Manitoba, it's mostly from resource extracting areas. And those people aren't voting for Trudeau

00:18:01.360 either. So I think the number one thing people are going to have trouble with is I still think that

00:18:06.880 we're headed for a liberal minority. I think that possibility has changed dramatically in the last 10

00:18:12.320 days. But I still think instead of liberal sniffing at majority, they're still in minority range.

00:18:18.560 And if Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, plus the proper Vancouver area foists another liberal

00:18:27.840 government on us, I think there's going to be a kind of, you know, that kind of anger that that

00:18:33.040 comes with being surprised. You know, you're not you're not only angry, you're shocked.

00:18:39.040 And I think that there's going to be some of that. You know, when I was out

00:18:42.080 handing out Libranos lawn signs in Calgary and Edmonton, more than a few people came up to me

00:18:49.360 and talked about separatism. They said, as we want to talk to you, you know, we're more,

00:18:53.520 they called it more right wing than me. I don't think it's more right wing. I think what it is,

00:18:59.120 is what the kids would say black pill. You know, I don't know, that language comes from that movie,

00:19:05.280 the matrix, you know, take the blue pill, go back to living in a dream, take the red pill,

00:19:10.240 and you wake up to the reality. It's tough, but it's reality. So that's what the kids say when they

00:19:15.200 red pill is to wake up to the tough reality. But black pill is to be so disillusioned that

00:19:23.280 there's no point to anything like the black, the color of death and hopelessness. And what I'm 0.88

00:19:28.880 seeing from Albertans is they've been red pilled on Trudeau since day one. And if he wins again,

00:19:37.120 despite Alberta allegedly being in, you know, Stephen Harper made a lot of Westerners think,

00:19:44.480 okay, we can be in this country as equals. We're still given a lot more financially, but you know,

00:19:48.880 good enough. The black pill will be, will set in and people will say, what is the point?

00:19:54.560 They will no longer be constructive goodwill because everything's been gutted. And now it's just

00:20:01.920 leave, get the hell out. I don't even want to participate. That's what I sensed.

00:20:06.880 Yeah. You might've noticed yesterday in the national post, Brad Wall, the former

00:20:11.600 premier of Saskatchewan, who, if he were national conservative leader right now, would be looking

00:20:16.880 at 200 plus seats. Brad Wall had a piece where he said, Trudeau will not commit to building Trans

00:20:28.560 Mountain at any cost. And I think the reason for that is that they're looking at the liberal war

00:20:34.560 room at a minority win. They know they're going to be held in power either by the NDP or the Greens or

00:20:41.200 some combination of the two, both of whom want to kill Trans Mountain. And the price of joining

00:20:49.760 in a coalition with the liberals of formal or informal coalition will be the death of Trans

00:20:54.880 Mountain. At which point, I can't predict what's going to happen here. There is an awful lot of anger

00:21:01.200 out there already. And I'm not trying to suggest, you know, yeah, you know, vote out the liberals or

00:21:06.880 we're going to leave. But there is really a strong sense out there that we've been down this road

00:21:12.480 before two or three times. Yeah. Fool me once. Shame on me. Fool me four times. I'm out of here.

00:21:19.120 Well, it's not just that. I mean, I was saying to an Albertan the other day, at least when Pierre

00:21:25.760 Trudeau came, he was he wasn't actually trying to get people to stop drilling for oil. He was just

00:21:31.920 trying to steal it. So, you know, you can't steal something that's not made. So Trudeau,

00:21:37.280 in the end, he did grievously harm the industry. But I don't think that was his goal. I think his

00:21:44.800 goal was to transfer the wealth to Quebec, which the precondition is that there is wealth. But

00:21:50.800 Justin Trudeau and his Rasputin-like figure, Gerald Butts, they're utopian in this strange way,

00:21:58.400 never having lived in any real life. Just this just in think tanks and Ted talks. And

00:22:05.840 yeah, exactly. And so podcast. Yeah, they're podcast. Yeah, that's right. And so when they

00:22:13.200 they're not coming to I remember the name of one of Papa Trudeau's taxes, it was called the PGRT,

00:22:22.080 the petroleum and gas revenue tax. Okay, so it's a huge tax. Even the carbon tax is a huge tax.

00:22:30.560 But you need a pipeline for oil to tax it. They don't even really, they would prefer not to have

00:22:36.400 oil and not to tax it. And my point is, and sorry for taking so long to make it, and I'll throw it

00:22:40.640 back to you, Lauren. If you're an Alberta oil man, it's one thing for someone to say, hey, can I put

00:22:45.840 another load on your shoulders to carry? You're so broad-shouldered, can you carry more? But it's

00:22:51.360 another to say, you know what? There is no way you will even be able to do this. We don't even want

00:22:56.640 you to work. There's no solution here. There's no compromise here. You will be ended. It's actually

00:23:03.760 not them that's being blackpilled. They are, the black pill is being done to them. They're being

00:23:08.880 extinguished, terminated, extincted. And what other country in the world with resources

00:23:16.800 is doing the same thing? Yeah. Well, I mean, no one would say, like, there's problems in the

00:23:23.600 fisheries. There's problems in the auto sector. There's problems in the steel sector. But none of

00:23:28.640 those is the government saying, wow, this is amazing. There's so many cod, but we're banning it

00:23:34.960 because we're against catching fish. Or wow, you, those cars are amazing, got a huge market,

00:23:41.040 but we're against it for whatever. So there are other economic problems in this country,

00:23:46.400 and they're not being solved well, but they are not purely government creations.

00:23:51.920 Right, right. If you let, if the government got out of the way, and we got one obstinate government

00:23:58.880 out of the way in April when Albertans voted out the NDP, if you got government out of the way and

00:24:05.760 let the industry within sensible parameters with, you know, keen regulations on environment and wage

00:24:14.080 equity and all, whatever else you want to do, if you simply said, hey, we really want you to produce

00:24:20.400 oil and bitumen. We just want you to do it with these conditions. We'd be back into another boom

00:24:27.200 because you look at the Americans, you know, the American, American production in oil has gone up

00:24:32.480 over 40% in the last five years. Yeah. Since the big crisis in 2014 and 2015, they have recovered.

00:24:41.920 And then some. Yeah. Ours, ours has not gone up at all. It's marginally gone up. But, but even so,

00:24:50.240 it's, it's got nowhere to go. I noticed the other day, there was a story about this innovative company

00:24:56.400 in Alberta who decided to solidify bitumen. Right. So it can be shipped in rail containers,

00:25:04.080 in the boxes that fit on the backs of flatbed cars on, on trains. Yeah.

00:25:08.640 Uh, there is just so much demand for oil and we are pretending like oil was on the way out. It's

00:25:16.800 something that like buggy whips. Yeah. Everyone used to have to have one, but now nobody needs them

00:25:21.760 anymore. Yeah. And so we can just ignore it. It's, it's, it's absolute economic insanity.

00:25:26.640 Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. Um, I want to, uh, switch gears to, to the campaigning in,

00:25:33.520 but you're so right on that. And I'm worried about Alberta because, you know, Preston Manning,

00:25:39.440 his answer was the West wants in. That was a reaction and a rebuttal to the West wants out,

00:25:45.040 Doug Christie's Western Canada concept. In a way, Stephen Harper, his message was,

00:25:51.840 I'll bring you in. We don't even need to say the message. The West will be in and, and there'll be 0.91

00:25:56.880 peace. And there was, and actually Quebec separatism died under Stephen Harper too.

00:26:02.400 But, um, I'm, I don't even think, I mean, what could Jason Kenney say? What could Brad Wall say

00:26:09.040 if Trudeau was reelected again? Because not only will it factually the pipeline be stopped,

00:26:14.080 but what would Trudeau, why would Trudeau be wrong? If he said, you have vindicated me,

00:26:19.520 you've vindicated me on the substance of blocking pipelines and the car. Every, every barista in

00:26:25.440 downtown Toronto who has no clue where the money comes from to buy the coffee they're pushing. Yeah.

00:26:30.880 Uh, has decided they don't want pipelines because those are messy. It's, we now have the idea about,

00:26:37.040 uh, natural resources that we have had for many generations about the food in the grocery store.

00:26:43.120 Right. Uh, we don't like the idea that cattle are butchered, but we sure love beef. Yeah. And,

00:26:48.320 and we've made this great disconnect between, well, milk involves milking cattle. Yeah.

00:26:53.920 It involves milking cows, but, oh, you know, we don't like to think of that. Milk is just produced

00:26:59.040 in the back behind those swinging doors near the produce section. Yeah. Uh, you know, and, and,

00:27:03.840 and so we'd love to have all of the, uh, the, the, the fancy social programs and the big government

00:27:10.080 spending that is funded in large part by natural resources, not just oil and gas, but also by

00:27:16.400 mining, forestry, all the things that we have, uh, in plentitude in, in, in Canada. Uh, we'd love to

00:27:24.400 have all that, but now there's a whole generation of people. In fact, we're on to the second generation

00:27:28.560 of people who have no clue where that comes from. Yeah. Well, and you talked about the wealth that

00:27:33.200 comes from oil. Let's just talk about the oil itself. I'd like to see the fancy pants who fly 1.00

00:27:37.200 every day out of Toronto Pearson Airport or Vancouver's, uh, airport. Uh, let's go without

00:27:42.480 jet fuel for one month and see how you guys do. Let the liberal campaign go without jet fuel for one

00:27:48.000 of it. Yeah, that's really good. They got two jets. I don't care. They can have the other one.

00:27:51.520 Well, you, you bring me back to the point I was going to make. Um, apparently having two campaign

00:27:57.920 jets, one for all Trudeau's stuff, in addition to one for the people, it was not only a, um, the,

00:28:05.840 the worst kept secret in the press gallery this time, but he did it in 2015 as well, but not a single

00:28:11.920 media outlet covered it. And I saw Althea Raj of the CBC and an American gossip site, Huffington Post,

00:28:18.480 Althea Raj said, oh, well, I thought everyone knew. I mean, come on. It's,

00:28:21.920 everyone's talking about it, but it's not news. Yeah, it is news, sister, because you didn't

00:28:25.600 publish it. But it made me think of this, and I'd like your answer on this, my friend.

00:28:31.200 When Time Magazine published the blackface photo of, uh, Trudeau as Aladdin, Aladdin in blackface. 0.52

00:28:39.680 I've watched the Aladdin movie. He ain't black, but Trudeau blacked him up. So Time Magazine published

00:28:46.080 that it was quite a thing, and it happened in the evening, I remember. It was very exciting.

00:28:50.720 And Trudeau actually was on the plane when it broke, and he had a mid-aircraft press conference.

00:28:56.320 It was quite dramatic. Um, within an hour, Lorne, Global News released a video they obviously had had

00:29:05.360 before. A video! The blackface video! And then I think it was the CBC that released another blackface 1.00

00:29:13.360 photo of Trudeau when he was younger. So, here's my point, and it's the same point I was making

00:29:18.800 about Althea Raj keeping the secret for Trudeau about the two planes. Time Magazine published.

00:29:27.280 Obviously, the CBC and Global had their blackface photo in their pocket that they had not chosen to

00:29:33.120 publish. They only did after Time broke the cartel of silence, the conspiracy of silence. That's outrageous

00:29:40.160 to me. That's a deeply racist thing, blackface. It has a special meaning. It's not just someone 0.99

00:29:47.920 dressing up like a cowboy. It has a meaning rooted in what blacks were as slaves and their place as 0.63

00:29:55.040 slaves. And the fact that the media withheld that tells me how could you trust the damn thing they're 0.99

00:30:01.280 saying. The one that really bothers me is the video of him with a t-shirt that has bananas on the front, 0.98

00:30:07.920 an afro wig and blackface. Right. Because he's clearly implying that black people are apes. Yeah.

00:30:14.960 And maybe no one was sitting on that. Maybe someone had that on their phone. No, no, no. Global had

00:30:20.400 that. That was the low-res version. Global had the low-res version, and the star later released the

00:30:26.400 high-res version. Global had that. Yeah. I mean, you know, the point that I think is salient is not that

00:30:35.600 that they had it and they didn't release it. I think that's wrong. I think that's doctoring the

00:30:42.880 news. I think that approaches fake news because you aren't telling the whole truth. Right.

00:30:48.800 But the point is, this makes sense, I think, if you're sitting in downtown Toronto, where Justin

00:30:57.280 Trudeau is still much beloved. I think it makes sense if you're sitting in Ottawa, where you think

00:31:04.160 your job is on the line and your prominent place in Canadian policy and culture is dependent on the

00:31:11.240 liberals winning again. And it makes sense if you're in Montreal, where, you know, this is your

00:31:16.640 your native son. You know, remember the old U.S. presidential conventions, the nominating

00:31:23.680 conventions? They would say, you know, this great state of Iowa casts all its 172 votes for the native

00:31:30.840 sons. That's the sort of attitude they have towards Trudeau there. But outside that, the rest of the

00:31:36.180 country is very different. And unfortunately, there are just enough seats in Atlantic Canada,

00:31:41.640 Canada, the Golden Triangle, and Vancouver proper to return the liberals. And, you know,

00:31:49.240 then their media buddies are going to be claiming, as they did for years and years and years and years

00:31:53.620 and years, they're a national party. Yeah. They're the only national party. Well, it's not only going to

00:31:58.560 be taken as a vindication of the substance of him, but of his corrupt style. And there was a brief

00:32:05.340 moment, you can measure it in minutes, where there's a bit of shame in the liberal party, where

00:32:10.340 Jody Wilson-Raybould had not yet quit. And if you recall, she made certain demands that Gerald Butts

00:32:16.800 be given the boot. She had a few demands. And there's this brief period where Trudeau thought he could

00:32:23.080 keep her in. And so he was acceding to those demands. And Butts left in disgrace for a New York

00:32:29.120 lobby shop called the Eurasian Group. And it looked quite, it looked like there was some

00:32:35.700 honor being restored, thanks to Jody Wilson-Raybould. Well, Trudeau overplayed it, said,

00:32:40.780 ha ha, obviously, she still likes me, because she's here, and she quit immediately.

00:32:45.000 But look at Gerald Butts just coming right back in.

00:32:48.180 But how long, look, that would be a good unit of measurement. You have what's called the

00:32:54.360 Angstrom unit, which I think is still the smallest unit of measurement available in science. The

00:33:00.400 liberal shame unit would be half that size. It takes them less than an Angstrom unit to get over

00:33:07.120 any shameful thing they do, and realize that the number one objective of every liberal is to retain

00:33:14.160 power. They don't care what they do with the power, it's just to have the power is the number

00:33:19.440 one objective of the liberal party. Power above all else is the motto over their door at their Bank

00:33:25.560 Street headquarters. And it doesn't matter what they do. They are capable of absolving themselves,

00:33:33.940 of giving themselves penance, of washing away all their sins in the blink of an eye, if it comes down

00:33:42.220 to their power. You know, let me close with something that's sort of obvious, but maybe

00:33:49.040 sometimes we have to hear the obvious spoken plainly. And I guess I always knew it, but I actually had to

00:33:55.880 hear Jordan Peterson say it to me. I asked him once, should a college kid lie in an essay and pretend

00:34:04.800 he's liberal to get a good grade? If he tells the truth and he's conservative, he'll get a bad grade.

00:34:11.040 Should he just lie and fake it and get the good grade and get out? That's a real question. And his

00:34:17.180 answer to me was, no, you shouldn't lie. And he had two parts to it. The first part was,

00:34:23.220 because most professors really aren't that vindictive, I think he's wrong. But the second

00:34:27.700 part was what stayed with me. He said, because if you tell a lie, that changes who you are,

00:34:34.920 and you become what you do, and now you're a liar, and you know you're a liar, even if no one 0.85

00:34:40.940 else does, and now in your mind you have lied for your own self-interest, you got ahead through 1.00

00:34:46.400 lying, and now you're a liar, and you know you're a liar, and that's who you are. And he said it much 1.00

00:34:51.740 more elegantly than that, but it hit me. The biggest punishment of lying is that you become

00:34:56.520 a liar. And I'm sorry for this long anecdote, but it comes to this. If you renew the lease on power

00:35:05.800 of a corrupt group of liars who tried to interfere with a criminal court prosecution,

00:35:11.020 if you approve that, if you grant that, if you normalize that, that is now what Canada is.

00:35:18.200 And Trudeau can truly say, you approved it. I was the first prime minister in history to be

00:35:23.420 convicted not once, but five times of violation of the Conflict of Interest Act, and you said it's

00:35:28.460 okay. That's not just who I am now, that's who you are now. You are me now.

00:35:34.260 I think that's valid. And the other thing about lying is that if you do it often enough,

00:35:39.880 it becomes the truth to you. You lose that ability to see where the lie ends and the truth

00:35:45.900 begins or vice versa. And then it all becomes obscured. And keeping yourself in the position

00:35:55.200 you're in, whether it's power in government or wealth or a position of authority in your school

00:36:01.280 district doesn't matter. That becomes the only thing that matters because staying in your position

00:36:08.220 is the only thing you have left to cling to. You don't have the truth to cling to anymore.

00:36:12.300 Yeah. I tell you, these are very momentous days, Lauren. It's great to talk to you. Thank you for

00:36:17.500 joining us from Edmonton and giving us your point of view. It's always nice to see you, my friend.

00:36:21.560 Will do.

00:36:22.120 All right. There you have it. Lauren Gunter, senior columnist of the Edmonton Sun,

00:36:25.480 joining us via Skype from the capital city of the Wild Rose province. Stay with us. More ahead on

00:36:31.020 The Rebel.

00:36:40.480 Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about left-wing media altering photos of Donald Trump.

00:36:45.420 Revelation writes,

00:36:46.200 We all know about the fake photos of fires and the like, but the more subtle stuff is probably

00:36:50.540 even more powerful as it's subliminal. Well, that's the thing. And it took a photographer to

00:36:56.460 convince me of this. I like to think that video is persuasive. Yeah, but it takes a lot of it. You

00:37:01.680 got to pay attention to a video. You got to understand what you're seeing. You got to listen to it. But a

00:37:06.140 photo is instant. You don't even notice you're seeing what you're seeing. It is an instant propaganda

00:37:11.680 device. Video takes time. Print takes time and effort. Jan writes,

00:37:17.660 As they say, a picture paints a thousand words. Commercials use this imprinting technique. It

00:37:22.380 only takes seconds of showing an image or picture to imprint the subliminal or underlying message

00:37:26.840 they want the viewer to react to or remember. That's right. I mean, with Trump, it's just so

00:37:33.440 off the hook. And it's not even Trump. It's Melania, the most beautiful first lady since Jackie O,

00:37:41.420 perhaps of all time. I mean, exquisite international supermodel who suddenly has been scowling for

00:37:49.200 three years straight. Sorry, I don't buy it. I think she's a normal person who, if there are

00:37:54.580 photos of her smiling, those are garbaged and only the sullen or sad ones are used. It's outrageous.

00:38:01.420 It's propaganda. That's the media party for you. You can't even trust the pictures.

00:38:04.380 Edward writes,

00:38:07.460 It's the pictures where the mouth is left agape that are awful or the ones where he is smiling

00:38:12.540 so broadly. I can hear the Grinch theme song playing in my mind. Overall, Trump has done

00:38:17.480 quite well despite the whole damn system being rigged against him. Yeah, I mean, I'd say there's 0.98

00:38:22.620 two things. First of all, people have alternative media sources, YouTube, social media. And the second

00:38:28.140 is they're so desperate for someone to fight back against the media party mob that they would say,

00:38:33.120 well, even if he is that absurd, even if he does look that way, even if his face is that orange,

00:38:39.020 we like him anyway. That, the fact that he's still at 53% approval compared to Trudeau's 33%,

00:38:45.720 despite a wall of media hate, shows how good he must be.

00:38:51.100 Well, folks, that's our shows for today. Can I invite you to do one thing before I say goodbye?

00:38:55.720 We learned today that Justin Trudeau's hand-picked debates commission is blocking

00:39:01.680 rebel journalists from attending, even in the audience, of the one and only English language

00:39:07.620 leaders debate on Monday. And they, in a very cowardly way, only told us today,

00:39:13.580 debates on Monday. But we have retained a law firm to work all weekend, and we will be appearing in

00:39:20.420 federal court on Monday seeking an emergency injunction to allow our reporters into the event.

00:39:28.020 To learn more about this, go to letusreport.com. And I want to tell you, I'm going to tell you exactly

00:39:34.220 how much money I paid the law firm today. I paid them $10,000. I know that sounds like a shocking

00:39:41.700 amount of money, isn't it? We got two lawyers working all weekend and then appearing in court on Monday.

00:39:46.540 Anyway, that's how $10,000 goes. I know that is a shocking amount of money. We're not doing it for

00:39:52.660 the money. We're doing it because this cannot stand. And if you agree with me that Kian Bexty and David

00:39:59.540 Menzies, who properly applied, should be allowed to attend this debate like any other journalist in

00:40:05.400 the country, then please go to letusreport.com and please help me cover this $10,000 fee. I paid

00:40:09.860 the money today in advance because the lawyers are going to be working all weekend and they'll be in

00:40:15.220 court on Monday. So if you can help me out, please do. All right, folks, that's the show for today.

00:40:20.580 Until Monday, when we'll have much more news for you. Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
