Rebel News Podcast - The Left pretends to care about “The Handmaid’s Tale” coming true — but it’s already here, and they’re silent

00:00:00.000 Tonight, why does the left pretend to care about the handmaid's tale coming true

00:00:04.180 when it's already here and they're silent?

00:00:06.940 It's October 25th, and this is The Ezra LeVance Show.

00:00:15.740 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:19.540 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:23.260 You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.

00:00:26.240 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it

00:00:30.200 is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:00:37.000 Why does the left, especially in the United States,

00:00:40.740 but I think it's percolating up here in Canada and over in the UK too,

00:00:43.960 why does the left keep dressing up like characters from that dystopian feminist novel

00:00:49.500 by Margaret Atwood called The Handmaid's Tale?

00:00:53.320 Again and again and again.

00:00:54.880 I'm sure those costumes have been bought en masse

00:00:58.380 by some George Soros leftist activist group

00:01:01.400 and kept in a closet at some political action center,

00:01:05.280 and they're literally used every week,

00:01:07.280 handed out to someone to protest something against President Donald Trump,

00:01:11.260 Vice President Mike Pence, against anyone.

00:01:14.040 It's just become a symbolic way of saying,

00:01:15.660 you're a sexist who, you're someone who would want to make all women live as sexual slaves

00:01:23.040 in a Christian theocracy. 0.93

00:01:25.520 That's what the story of The Handmaid's Tale is about.

00:01:28.440 By the way, there is no such thing.

00:01:30.900 Sexual slavery is not a Christian concept.

00:01:33.600 Actually, the opposite.

00:01:35.060 Protecting women and children, protecting the weak,

00:01:37.580 is very much a Christian concept.

00:01:39.440 I'm not a Christian myself, and I don't pretend to be a scholar about the New Testament

00:01:44.040 as I have an amateur's knowledge of it,

00:01:48.020 but my recollection is that Jesus actually had mercy for women,

00:01:52.760 even women who had sinned sexually.

00:01:54.940 In the Bible, look it up. 0.90

00:01:57.460 Chapter 8 of the book of John says,

00:01:59.380 Jesus met a group of people who were about to stone an adulteress to death.

00:02:04.780 Maybe that means a prostitute. 0.98

00:02:07.060 And he told them, quote,

00:02:09.080 He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 0.96

00:02:13.460 That's the King James Version.

00:02:15.760 So pretty much the moral opposite of the Koran's direction 0.94

00:02:20.740 to take rape slaves from a conquered people. 0.63

00:02:24.820 My point is, Christianity's moral arc has been towards the protection of women.

00:02:29.920 There is no Islamic equivalent to Mary in the Koran.

00:02:34.100 There are no dominant or important female figures in the Koran.

00:02:36.860 The closest might be Mohammed's favorite wife, Aisha, 0.97

00:02:41.320 whom he married when she was six,

00:02:43.420 and consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.

00:02:47.360 Not really comparable in terms of treatment of women,

00:02:50.540 the place of women in society, is it? 1.00

00:02:52.700 And in fact, Margaret Atwood, the Canadian socialist feminist

00:02:55.840 who wrote The Handmaid's Tale,

00:02:57.220 she wrote it in the wake of the Iranian Revolution,

00:03:00.980 when women were forced to wear much worse face-obscuring veils than in that novel.

00:03:09.800 Thousands of women in Iran protested against their freedoms being taken away.

00:03:14.680 Here is a picture of them.

00:03:16.920 They did not want the veil to be brought in.

00:03:19.120 They were protesting against being unpersoned.

00:03:22.480 Iran, as you can see, was quite secular under the Shah.

00:03:25.540 Oh, look at those women. 1.00

00:03:27.880 It was now moving back in time by a thousand years.

00:03:34.080 That was the political news that was in the background,

00:03:37.740 as Atwood wrote her feminist book.

00:03:40.100 But she lacked the courage to take on Islam, 1.00

00:03:43.500 or maybe she, like many other leftists who hate the West,

00:03:46.600 always side with the West's enemies, 0.80

00:03:48.740 whether during the Cold War it was siding with the Soviets,

00:03:51.220 or now the Islamists.

00:03:54.640 But that's my point.

00:03:55.580 The submission and subjugation of women is not a Christian specialty.

00:03:58.860 There are occasional aberrations,

00:04:00.780 but nothing as central, as doctrinal as the Koran and Sharia,

00:04:05.480 with its rules on everything from, for example,

00:04:07.260 that women need four witnesses to accuse a man of rape,

00:04:10.280 or even that a woman's testimony is worth half of a man's,

00:04:13.600 or a woman should get a half of an inheritance as a man. 1.00

00:04:16.940 But the Handmaid's Tale demonizes only Christians,

00:04:20.100 and it has been weaponized against Donald Trump,

00:04:24.560 to imply we're just moments away from that dystopian, sexist future,

00:04:28.460 this misogynistic, rape-slave future here in North America.

00:04:31.500 Watch out.

00:04:32.120 If Trump gets his way, we're going to be right there.

00:04:34.060 And I'm not sure why.

00:04:35.360 I mean, Trump himself has been married three times

00:04:39.080 to models every time.

00:04:41.620 And he sure doesn't seem to insist on hijabs or niqabs in his real life.

00:04:50.060 Unlike, for comparison, say, the leaders of Turkey and Pakistan,

00:04:54.000 that's Imran Khan.

00:04:55.360 He's the new leader of Pakistan.

00:04:56.940 And that's his beautiful bride.

00:05:00.120 At least I think that's who that is.

00:05:03.180 I don't know.

00:05:05.160 And here's a picture of the NATO wives.

00:05:07.360 You see, second from the left there,

00:05:08.540 that's Turkey's president's wife, Erdogan, 1.00

00:05:13.460 on the second from the left there,

00:05:15.640 wearing a hijab, another Handmaid's Tale-type gear. 0.89

00:05:20.760 Frankly, she looks a little bit like Hillary Clinton in that spacesuit there. 1.00

00:05:24.480 And next to her is the lovely Melania Trump.

00:05:28.080 We just don't treat women like that in the Christian West. 0.99

00:05:32.500 It's just not a thing.

00:05:34.740 Now, sometimes the Handmaid's Tale protests get it a bit wrong.

00:05:37.580 Here's a picture of Alyssa Milano, who's an aging Hollywood actress.

00:05:42.800 She was against Brett Kavanaugh and the Supreme Court nomination.

00:05:48.140 She's posing like a character from The Handmaid's Tale,

00:05:52.080 but she gets it wrong.

00:05:54.180 She's got at least an hour's worth of makeup going on there. 0.99

00:05:59.360 She looks beautiful.

00:06:01.160 I mean, you can't deny it.

00:06:02.380 She's a beautiful woman by nature,

00:06:04.720 but she's on the wrong side of 45,

00:06:07.540 and there's no way in hell she's going to post a picture of herself for the world

00:06:11.700 without a lot of makeup and maybe some airbrushing.

00:06:15.340 It would damage her career prospects to be au naturel,

00:06:18.980 like all the women are on Handmaid's Tale.

00:06:21.200 So she's not quite doing the ultra-feminist thing right, is she? 1.00

00:06:26.900 Take a look at these.

00:06:27.660 Any Halloween store these days, you find a lot of sexy Handmaid's Tale costumes. 0.97

00:06:32.720 Now, these ones here don't look particularly sexy,

00:06:35.180 but there's other ones that are sexy because it's a joke, right?

00:06:41.660 No one thinks that having to dress like a Handmaid's Tale woman is really a threat here,

00:06:49.920 so we can laugh about it, we can joke about it.

00:06:51.700 You don't see a lot of Halloween costumes with Muslim burqas or with hijabs, 1.00

00:06:57.260 mainly because it's not funny, and it's not escapist.

00:07:02.460 It's not a fantasy.

00:07:03.560 On Halloween, we dress up as a cowboy or an astronaut or a witch or a, you know, Frankenstein

00:07:12.000 because those are fantasies that will, never, can never happen in real life, right?

00:07:16.940 It's escapist.

00:07:18.500 Same with a Handmaid's Tale sexy Halloween outfit.

00:07:21.080 It's a fantasy where you make believe for a night, and it's fun.

00:07:26.000 No one thinks that wearing a hijab or a niqab or a burqa is a fantasy

00:07:30.960 because we see them every day on the streets,

00:07:32.660 and it's very real, and it's not fun or friendly at all

00:07:36.160 precisely because it's not a fantasy.

00:07:38.620 It is here.

00:07:40.660 It's not escapist.

00:07:41.980 They're the ones who want to escape.

00:07:43.620 Isn't that odd?

00:07:45.420 Do you remember this picture taken in Quebec five years ago?

00:07:49.180 Remember this?

00:07:50.160 Look at that.

00:07:51.140 It's hard to tell who the kids are.

00:07:54.040 Are they Muslim themselves?

00:07:55.420 I don't think so, but it's hard to tell.

00:07:57.120 Are they old stock Quebecois?

00:07:59.120 Quebecois de souche?

00:08:00.740 Who knows?

00:08:02.120 But in Quebec, daycares are subsidized by the government,

00:08:04.560 but here they seem to be following the customs of Islam,

00:08:07.660 not the customs of Quebec,

00:08:08.780 a place with an emphasis on the separation of church and state and mosque and state.

00:08:13.520 And so it has come to pass some five years after that photo

00:08:15.720 that Quebec has elected a government in no small part

00:08:18.260 on the strength of their call to ban ostentatious Islamic symbols

00:08:22.120 like the hijab and the niqab and the chador from government employees,

00:08:27.980 not banning them on the streets.

00:08:29.780 I don't know if they'd even be banning daycares, frankly,

00:08:33.540 but at least from the civil service.

00:08:34.940 I honestly don't know how many government staff in Quebec

00:08:37.620 go with the full ninja look like that anyways.

00:08:40.220 I'd be surprised if it were more than a dozen.

00:08:42.860 I mean, women who dress like that generally are not let out of the house 1.00

00:08:46.080 by their husband slash guardian slash owner.

00:08:49.180 They're not career gals working nine to five. 0.98

00:08:52.920 No, they're sort of at home.

00:08:55.000 There might be a few of them.

00:08:57.180 So now the new Quebec government,

00:08:58.460 the Coalition Avonir Quebec, or CAC, as it's known,

00:09:01.580 they say they will ban those niqabs and hijabs, 1.00

00:09:06.120 not hijabs, the niqabs and the burkas, 1.00

00:09:08.480 or excuse me, they're not going to just ban the little veil.

00:09:11.980 They're going to ban them from the public sector. 0.96

00:09:14.740 So now Quebecers will have the right to deal with the state in a neutral way.

00:09:18.560 I mean, that makes obvious sense to me.

00:09:19.980 It's the same reason why we have a uniform for police.

00:09:22.580 They're not allowed to wear this team or that team or this religion or that religion.

00:09:26.720 Here's today's Globe and Mail headline about it.

00:09:29.740 Quebec to prohibit government employees from wearing chador, niqab, and burka.

00:09:34.380 To be clear, I misspoke earlier when I said they're banning hijab.

00:09:36.860 They're not banning the hijab, which is just a light scarf.

00:09:40.080 Seriously, how many people will this law actually affect?

00:09:42.820 I doubt it's 12.

00:09:45.080 Let me read the first three paragraphs from the Globe and Mail story.

00:09:47.640 Quebec's new Coalition Avonir Quebec government

00:09:50.320 says it will go a step further in restricting religious symbols,

00:09:53.580 prohibiting all public servants from wearing the chador, niqab, or burka.

00:09:58.240 The ban on the garments is expected to be part of legislation

00:10:00.620 that will also forbid state employees in positions of authority,

00:10:04.080 including teachers, from wearing visible religious symbols.

00:10:07.900 The chador, there's a picture of it there, that lady on the story.

00:10:12.080 The chador, which is worn primarily by Muslim women from Iran,

00:10:15.520 that's not true, by the way,

00:10:16.500 is a cloak that covers the head and upper body,

00:10:19.280 but leaves the face visible.

00:10:20.800 The burka covers the entire face with mesh over the eyes, 0.99

00:10:23.640 while the niqab leaves a slit for the eyes. 0.98

00:10:25.640 This is important to learn for girls in the 21st century.

00:10:29.240 This is important stuff you'll have to get to learn,

00:10:31.220 because it ain't a fantasy, ladies.

00:10:34.260 The Handmaid's Tale is a fantasy, 0.88

00:10:35.940 but you need to know your burkas, hijabs, chadors, niqabs,

00:10:39.260 if you want to live in Canada or Europe.

00:10:45.040 By the way, a lot of Muslim countries ban these places,

00:10:47.340 but we don't have that cultural courage.

00:10:50.540 But the thing is, look, we don't wear masks in our culture,

00:10:53.600 because masks dehumanize a person,

00:10:55.800 because the face is really the essential part of a person.

00:11:01.240 Wearing a mask impedes honest, open, clear communication.

00:11:04.540 For one thing, when you talk to someone,

00:11:06.400 you look at each other's eyes and look at their face

00:11:08.860 to understand what people mean.

00:11:10.180 Are they smiling? Are they scowling?

00:11:12.700 To understand tone and context and honesty,

00:11:16.440 body language, eye contact.

00:11:17.880 In poker, we call it a poker tell.

00:11:20.320 If someone has a tic or mannerism,

00:11:22.000 if they look away when they're saying,

00:11:23.560 I raise you or I call you,

00:11:25.000 if they give something away.

00:11:26.080 Now, in real life, we don't even notice what we notice,

00:11:28.660 but we're noticing it.

00:11:29.680 It's why we look at someone's eyes.

00:11:31.700 It's hard to look someone in the eye

00:11:33.340 when you're lying, isn't it?

00:11:35.100 These are little cultural traditions,

00:11:37.440 but they're rooted in our biology.

00:11:40.340 We don't believe in masks or hoods in civil society.

00:11:44.640 We properly associate masks with trickery

00:11:47.900 or even criminality, at least with deception.

00:11:50.960 A mask hides.

00:11:52.360 We don't hide from each other

00:11:53.420 in a high-trust society like Canada.

00:11:56.520 So yeah, no masks, please.

00:11:58.600 At least not at work by teachers

00:12:02.060 and daycare workers

00:12:03.500 and government officials,

00:12:05.020 but what a tiny law.

00:12:06.400 I say again, it only applies

00:12:07.460 to a handful of people at most.

00:12:09.220 Oh, by the way, the Globe and Mail hates this law.

00:12:11.120 I didn't need to tell you that.

00:12:12.180 Of course, they hate the law.

00:12:13.640 They also hate Christianity in the public square,

00:12:16.240 but they love to get Islam in the public square.

00:12:18.540 They hate Christianity in the public square, 0.99

00:12:20.400 whether it's on a flag or a coat of arms

00:12:22.640 or in our Constitution

00:12:23.860 or the Lord's Prayer,

00:12:25.120 which has been drummed out of many legislatures.

00:12:26.900 Look at this.

00:12:27.600 This is an article here in the Globe

00:12:28.840 just a few days ago.

00:12:30.180 It's a Globe editorial.

00:12:31.540 By defending a crucifix,

00:12:32.880 Quebec crosses the line into hypocrisy.

00:12:35.740 Let me quote a sentence from the editorial.

00:12:39.060 The crucifix, a spokesman argued,

00:12:41.460 is nothing but a heritage object

00:12:42.960 that is part of our history,

00:12:44.320 and as such, it should not be included

00:12:46.080 in the larger argument about religious symbols

00:12:47.720 in the public sphere.

00:12:51.020 So the Globe is very angry

00:12:52.840 about the hypocrisy here.

00:12:54.460 Well, I'd agree with you, mate,

00:12:55.800 if we were living in Saudi Arabia or Iran,

00:12:57.780 but this is Canada,

00:12:59.000 and indeed, the history of our country,

00:13:01.860 especially the history of Quebec,

00:13:05.480 is a Christian story.

00:13:07.180 Now, you can say a Judeo-Christian story

00:13:08.980 if it makes you more comfy,

00:13:10.800 but Quebec is pretty Catholic.

00:13:12.960 It's hardwired into our Constitution, by the way.

00:13:15.460 I checked today.

00:13:16.340 I opened up our Constitution Act 1867,

00:13:18.680 and I did a word search.

00:13:20.160 The word Catholic is in there four times.

00:13:23.100 I'm sorry, it's part of who we are.

00:13:24.180 If you don't like it,

00:13:25.040 go to Saudi Arabia.

00:13:26.060 Now, others are welcome

00:13:28.140 to join us here in Canada,

00:13:29.380 but that does not undo who we are

00:13:31.540 or what our history was,

00:13:33.760 what our culture is,

00:13:35.240 what our past was.

00:13:36.560 The Globe and Mail

00:13:37.320 and the Trudeau liberals

00:13:38.640 want that past undone.

00:13:40.780 That's why they think

00:13:41.640 that crucifix is an outrage

00:13:43.100 and a hypocrisy,

00:13:44.380 that we keep it,

00:13:45.320 but the burqa must be allowed.

00:13:47.620 But thankfully,

00:13:48.560 the people seem to disagree.

00:13:49.680 Let me close with a poll

00:13:50.540 to show you that the crazy people here

00:13:52.600 aren't you and me

00:13:54.360 and the CAC government,

00:13:55.420 but rather Trudeau

00:13:56.120 and the Globe and Mail

00:13:56.700 and the rest of the media party.

00:13:58.660 Here's the poll I'm referring to.

00:14:00.960 It asks if the niqab 0.99

00:14:02.800 should be prohibited.

00:14:05.160 The niqab is the ninja one. 1.00

00:14:07.100 It should,

00:14:07.460 should it be,

00:14:08.440 there's three choices.

00:14:09.900 Prohibited,

00:14:10.400 that's the red line.

00:14:12.800 Discouraged but tolerated,

00:14:13.980 that's the gray line.

00:14:14.840 Or welcome,

00:14:16.020 that's the blue line.

00:14:16.880 I like those three choices,

00:14:18.260 by the way.

00:14:18.980 Now look at the answers.

00:14:20.760 Nationwide,

00:14:21.260 48% say ban it.

00:14:23.020 Just ban it. 0.91

00:14:23.860 Get rid of it.

00:14:24.360 Ban it.

00:14:25.860 Another 29% nationwide say

00:14:27.680 discourage it.

00:14:30.240 Only 23% say welcome.

00:14:32.000 And look at Quebec.

00:14:33.160 That's the second from the right there.

00:14:34.240 Look at that super tall bar there.

00:14:36.080 70% of Quebecers want it banned.

00:14:38.520 And another 23% want it discouraged.

00:14:41.440 That is 93% of Quebecers,

00:14:44.760 by the way,

00:14:45.240 which surely means that a goodly number of Muslims

00:14:48.240 want it banned too.

00:14:49.800 Probably Muslim women 1.00

00:14:50.980 who would really like to be able to say

00:14:53.460 to their husbands or imams,

00:14:55.460 sorry,

00:14:56.260 I'd really like to wear a hot body bag

00:14:58.440 all the time in public.

00:15:00.400 I'd really like to wear an irritating mask

00:15:04.320 on my face all the time.

00:15:05.340 Really would, dear.

00:15:06.560 But it's against the law in our new country,

00:15:08.460 so sorry,

00:15:09.280 I can't abide by your law.

00:15:11.520 I think Muslim women desperately want this law. 1.00

00:15:16.240 I say again,

00:15:17.040 the new Quebec law would only apply

00:15:18.260 to government workers,

00:15:18.940 so even it doesn't

00:15:20.200 comply with the wishes of the people

00:15:22.660 as shown in this poll.

00:15:23.700 But that's the news.

00:15:24.700 A Quebec politician did what the media party

00:15:26.420 told him not to do.

00:15:28.840 The CAC stood up,

00:15:29.700 however timidly,

00:15:30.440 for Canada's cultural and historical identity,

00:15:32.980 at least in a tiny way,

00:15:33.900 a symbolic way.

00:15:34.640 And that party won a majority.

00:15:37.920 And polls say,

00:15:39.660 I just showed them to you,

00:15:40.680 he would do even better

00:15:41.540 by showing even more backbone,

00:15:42.680 72% of Ontarians

00:15:44.860 think it should be prohibited

00:15:47.140 or discouraged too,

00:15:48.340 by the way.

00:15:49.760 78% of Albertans.

00:15:53.180 I wonder who will be

00:15:54.320 the next politician in Canada

00:15:55.500 who realizes the obvious fact

00:15:57.420 simply respecting Canada's traditions

00:16:00.500 of the separation of mosque and state

00:16:02.340 and the equality of men and women,

00:16:04.900 while that is hateful to the media party,

00:16:07.180 will give you huge support

00:16:09.080 on election today.

00:16:09.920 I mean, on that day,

00:16:13.400 on election day,

00:16:15.520 the editorial writers

00:16:16.820 at the Globe and Mail

00:16:17.620 have just one vote,

00:16:19.280 don't they?

00:16:20.760 No way.

00:16:21.500 You can bet it's a he. 1.00

00:16:23.520 You can bet it's a he writing that.

00:16:25.280 It's always male feminists 1.00

00:16:26.460 who are happy to see Muslim women

00:16:28.160 kept in bags.

00:16:30.360 Stay with us, Moorhead.

00:16:31.320 There is a lot of false equivalence

00:16:50.020 that goes on in these discussions

00:16:51.540 when we say,

00:16:52.640 well, you know,

00:16:53.040 both sides need to tone down

00:16:54.560 their rhetoric.

00:16:55.180 This is not a both sides issue.

00:16:57.200 This is a Donald Trump issue.

00:16:58.960 Donald Trump has weaponized politics

00:17:02.500 with names attached.

00:17:05.260 And every one of those people,

00:17:07.740 individuals,

00:17:09.060 who this person tried,

00:17:12.340 or people tried to attack,

00:17:14.580 those people have been named

00:17:16.280 by Donald Trump over and over.

00:17:18.560 To ignore his rhetoric,

00:17:20.840 I mean, you can match up line for line

00:17:23.640 his rally speeches

00:17:24.880 with every single one of those names

00:17:27.280 that you just listed.

00:17:28.500 This is his rhetoric

00:17:29.580 that has created this moment in time.

00:17:31.820 And to ignore that

00:17:32.920 is to ignore a huge component

00:17:34.840 of what's going on here.

00:17:36.120 He calls reporters

00:17:37.660 the enemy of the American people.

00:17:40.260 And yet he said

00:17:41.220 it's the media's fault

00:17:42.700 for their kind of reporting

00:17:44.720 that media organizations

00:17:47.000 have been doing.

00:17:48.200 Well, there you have it.

00:17:49.820 Before any evidence is in,

00:17:52.280 the media party has decided

00:17:53.920 that some alleged bomb threats

00:17:56.240 made to CNN,

00:17:57.580 the Obamas,

00:17:58.300 and the Clintons, 0.99

00:17:59.080 and also George Soros,

00:18:00.040 I might add,

00:18:00.760 are the fault of Donald Trump.

00:18:02.520 It's amazing

00:18:03.240 when there's an attacker

00:18:05.340 who shouts,

00:18:06.200 Allah Akbar,

00:18:07.120 the media says,

00:18:07.880 do not rush to judgment.

00:18:09.380 But there,

00:18:10.220 the judgment was clear.

00:18:12.420 Donald Trump

00:18:13.120 had this to say

00:18:15.260 about these purported threats.

00:18:17.380 In these times,

00:18:19.120 we have to unify.

00:18:21.100 We have to come together

00:18:22.040 and send one very clear,

00:18:25.400 strong, unmistakable message

00:18:27.120 that acts or threats

00:18:29.740 of political violence

00:18:30.920 of any kind

00:18:32.100 have no place

00:18:32.860 in the United States of America.

00:18:35.440 Pretty clear

00:18:36.260 and categorical statement there.

00:18:37.760 Well, joining us now via Skype

00:18:39.080 is our friend Joel Pollack,

00:18:41.200 the senior editor-at-large

00:18:42.920 at Breitbart.com.

00:18:44.660 Joel, great to see you again.

00:18:45.600 And what's the latest?

00:18:46.480 I see now

00:18:47.560 that the New York Times

00:18:48.400 is reporting

00:18:48.980 that these are not actual bombs,

00:18:52.360 but they're fake bombs

00:18:54.380 designed to look like bombs

00:18:55.980 to get, I don't know,

00:18:57.640 people scared,

00:18:58.280 get media attention,

00:18:59.300 but they're not actually bombs.

00:19:00.940 Is that the latest?

00:19:03.240 We don't know.

00:19:04.220 That's speculation

00:19:04.860 from the New York Times.

00:19:06.500 It's possible

00:19:07.200 that some of the devices are fake.

00:19:09.780 It's possible

00:19:10.360 that others are real.

00:19:11.760 We had Bernie Carrick,

00:19:13.340 the former New York City

00:19:14.540 police commissioner,

00:19:15.200 on our radio show last night

00:19:16.680 who said he thought

00:19:17.380 the first device

00:19:18.960 that was sent

00:19:19.960 to the home of George Soros

00:19:21.640 may have been real

00:19:23.000 because they blew it up.

00:19:25.280 But we don't know.

00:19:26.860 Some of them appear

00:19:27.840 not to have been designed

00:19:28.600 to go off at all,

00:19:29.480 so it just remains to be seen.

00:19:30.960 We don't have all the facts yet.

00:19:33.200 Now, look,

00:19:33.980 I think it's quite telling

00:19:37.060 that all of these

00:19:38.960 happened at the same time.

00:19:40.460 Perhaps it's the same person.

00:19:41.980 I mean,

00:19:42.640 we know that Unabomber,

00:19:43.900 who was a leftist as well,

00:19:45.280 environmental extremist,

00:19:46.600 sent out his

00:19:47.460 at the same time.

00:19:49.300 I don't want to be

00:19:50.380 a conspiracy theorist

00:19:51.560 and I don't want

00:19:52.400 to downplay this

00:19:53.780 just because

00:19:54.840 the media coverage

00:19:57.700 of it

00:19:58.020 is embarrassing

00:19:59.340 or could be embarrassing

00:20:00.400 to Republicans,

00:20:01.060 so I don't want to

00:20:02.080 indulge in paranoia

00:20:03.600 or conspiracies.

00:20:05.060 But is it a possibility

00:20:06.960 or should we at least

00:20:07.940 be skeptical

00:20:08.740 as to whether or not

00:20:10.860 this is a,

00:20:12.000 as they say,

00:20:12.560 a false flag operation

00:20:13.820 designed to

00:20:14.600 take the wind

00:20:15.680 out of the sails

00:20:16.320 of the Republicans

00:20:17.080 who have recently

00:20:17.860 been campaigning

00:20:18.700 against the mob

00:20:19.840 and violence of the left

00:20:21.180 by saying,

00:20:21.680 look,

00:20:22.400 there's violence

00:20:23.040 by the right

00:20:24.700 against the left.

00:20:25.760 What do you think

00:20:26.180 of that scenario?

00:20:29.780 I think it's unlikely.

00:20:30.900 I think it's probably

00:20:32.080 somebody who

00:20:33.840 is unhinged,

00:20:36.000 but it's more likely

00:20:37.220 than not somebody

00:20:38.200 who empathizes

00:20:39.600 with the right.

00:20:40.260 Although,

00:20:41.040 when you look at people

00:20:42.780 who have these

00:20:43.560 extreme views,

00:20:44.900 it doesn't really matter

00:20:45.920 whether they're on the right

00:20:46.580 or the left.

00:20:47.020 They often go back and forth

00:20:48.600 between the right

00:20:49.160 and the left.

00:20:49.800 They often share views

00:20:52.420 or flip views

00:20:53.380 depending on who's in power.

00:20:54.940 People are attracted

00:20:55.680 to extreme rhetoric

00:20:57.780 for psychological reasons

00:20:59.400 and not necessarily

00:21:01.160 for political reasons.

00:21:02.100 I don't think that

00:21:02.700 Republicans have anything

00:21:03.660 in common

00:21:04.260 with somebody

00:21:05.280 who behaves this way,

00:21:06.760 nor do I think

00:21:07.640 Democrats have anything

00:21:08.940 in common

00:21:09.360 with someone

00:21:09.840 who shows up

00:21:10.340 at a baseball field

00:21:11.200 and shoots a bunch

00:21:12.380 of Republican legislators.

00:21:14.040 The vast majority,

00:21:15.160 in fact,

00:21:15.780 I could say almost

00:21:16.260 the entire population

00:21:18.260 of the United States

00:21:19.200 is prepared to have

00:21:21.160 vociferous political debates

00:21:22.940 without resorting

00:21:23.780 to violence.

00:21:24.860 And the vast majority

00:21:26.200 are prepared

00:21:27.220 to have vociferous

00:21:28.420 political debates

00:21:29.180 without even being nasty

00:21:30.420 to each other.

00:21:31.040 I mean,

00:21:31.540 the phenomenon

00:21:32.140 of people being divisive

00:21:33.860 is really a minority phenomenon

00:21:35.480 and the tiny,

00:21:37.580 tiny proportion of people

00:21:38.820 who engage in violence

00:21:40.040 is just really,

00:21:41.940 really small.

00:21:42.820 They get disproportionate

00:21:43.960 media coverage.

00:21:45.000 That's partly because

00:21:46.080 violence is sensational

00:21:47.360 and graphic,

00:21:48.540 but it's also because

00:21:49.480 the media tend to justify

00:21:53.040 one kind of violence

00:21:54.000 and attack another.

00:21:55.620 The media are on the left

00:21:56.900 and we have seen

00:21:58.080 in recent weeks

00:21:58.720 they've tried to defend

00:22:00.020 left-wing mobs

00:22:01.280 that have attacked

00:22:02.020 the Supreme Court,

00:22:03.140 that have attacked

00:22:03.540 Republican legislators.

00:22:05.000 They're inclined 0.54

00:22:05.540 to defend those people

00:22:06.360 because they think

00:22:06.960 their cause is just.

00:22:08.300 But the media do not

00:22:09.340 represent everybody

00:22:10.580 in the United States.

00:22:11.540 The media are also

00:22:12.860 a small minority view,

00:22:15.140 largely on the left,

00:22:16.180 almost entirely on the left.

00:22:17.720 And I don't think

00:22:19.300 that you can draw

00:22:20.680 a direct line

00:22:21.540 between any politician,

00:22:23.080 any political rhetoric even,

00:22:26.140 and what this person did.

00:22:27.460 They may have been

00:22:27.940 inspired by politics,

00:22:29.180 but that doesn't make

00:22:29.740 anybody in the political

00:22:30.680 world responsible

00:22:31.500 for what this person did.

00:22:33.100 Yeah.

00:22:33.500 I'm going to show you

00:22:34.160 two columns published

00:22:36.240 by the same New York Times

00:22:38.180 columnist,

00:22:39.260 three days apart.

00:22:40.380 It's by Charles Blow,

00:22:41.320 who is a down-the-line Democrat.

00:22:43.120 So here's a column

00:22:44.060 he wrote on October 21st.

00:22:45.840 Count me among the mob

00:22:48.160 if it means people

00:22:49.220 who stand in opposition

00:22:50.040 to Trump's degradation

00:22:50.960 of the country.

00:22:52.240 So this is a reaction

00:22:53.340 to the Republicans

00:22:54.520 really emphasizing

00:22:55.700 the increasing radicalism,

00:22:58.800 extremism,

00:22:59.400 and even stepping

00:23:01.600 into violence.

00:23:02.360 So that's on October 21st.

00:23:04.780 Charles Blow,

00:23:05.460 the New York Times,

00:23:06.060 count me among the mob.

00:23:06.900 And then look at Charles Blow

00:23:08.300 three days later.

00:23:10.280 Rhetoric, mobs, and terror.

00:23:12.760 The explosive devices

00:23:14.000 were released

00:23:14.620 into a toxic atmosphere

00:23:16.240 created by Trump.

00:23:18.140 So I guess the official

00:23:19.580 Democratic talking points

00:23:20.860 changed in the course

00:23:21.960 of those 72 hours.

00:23:22.780 But Joel,

00:23:23.380 would you agree with me

00:23:24.300 that Donald Trump

00:23:25.340 did not create

00:23:26.420 the climate of division

00:23:28.840 and partisanship,

00:23:30.120 but probably more likely

00:23:31.560 he was a reaction

00:23:32.600 to it.

00:23:33.880 If John McCain

00:23:34.660 and Mitt Romney

00:23:35.480 couldn't win

00:23:36.800 in the battlefield

00:23:38.140 of modern American politics,

00:23:39.940 it took a Trump

00:23:40.880 to play the game

00:23:42.200 and win it.

00:23:42.640 That's my thesis.

00:23:43.460 What would you say to that?

00:23:46.260 Right.

00:23:46.780 The idea that you could

00:23:48.360 be civil

00:23:49.200 and still push back

00:23:51.740 against the media's onslaught

00:23:55.240 without being nasty,

00:23:58.040 without throwing some elbows,

00:24:01.020 is a nice idea.

00:24:02.480 It just lacks

00:24:03.240 any actual examples.

00:24:05.660 And the problem we have

00:24:07.380 is that only Trump

00:24:08.480 has succeeded

00:24:09.200 in defeating the media,

00:24:10.760 and he has done it

00:24:11.740 by giving them

00:24:12.480 their own medicine.

00:24:13.520 The idea that Republicans

00:24:15.340 can triumph

00:24:16.540 by taking the moral high ground

00:24:18.000 has so much evidence

00:24:19.820 against it.

00:24:20.540 I'm not saying

00:24:20.940 it's impossible.

00:24:21.740 I would like it to be true.

00:24:23.240 But we saw what happened

00:24:24.940 when Mitt Romney

00:24:25.720 decided to play it cool

00:24:27.900 with Barack Obama

00:24:28.880 when Obama went after him

00:24:30.100 in that second

00:24:30.960 presidential debate

00:24:31.800 and claimed he had called

00:24:33.500 the Benghazi terror attack

00:24:34.660 a terror attack,

00:24:35.440 and he hadn't.

00:24:36.540 And the moderator

00:24:37.320 intervened on Obama's behalf,

00:24:38.780 and the crowd cheered

00:24:39.740 for Obama,

00:24:40.320 even though they weren't

00:24:40.860 supposed to cheer

00:24:41.480 at a presidential debate

00:24:42.420 because they were stacked

00:24:43.820 with his supporters,

00:24:45.360 everything is stacked

00:24:46.220 against Republicans

00:24:46.940 having a fair share.

00:24:47.760 In fact,

00:24:48.380 as long as I've been voting,

00:24:50.120 every time Republicans

00:24:51.160 have won a major election,

00:24:52.920 they've gone into the election

00:24:54.420 being declared underdogs

00:24:57.040 by the media,

00:24:57.780 being declared unlikely

00:24:59.140 to win by the media.

00:25:01.080 So when you're a Republican,

00:25:02.800 you have no confidence

00:25:04.400 that you're ever going to win

00:25:05.740 when you're about to win.

00:25:06.800 You have no confidence

00:25:07.480 you're going to be treated

00:25:08.140 fairly at all.

00:25:09.160 There's no one

00:25:12.200 who has shown Republicans

00:25:13.520 how to win

00:25:14.220 in any other way.

00:25:16.080 So I'm prepared to say

00:25:17.720 that Donald Trump's method

00:25:18.840 is not the best.

00:25:19.960 However,

00:25:20.220 it's the only one

00:25:21.220 that seems to have worked.

00:25:22.260 It puts America 0.92

00:25:24.120 in a difficult position,

00:25:25.540 puts Trump supporters

00:25:26.280 in a difficult position

00:25:27.040 because some of us

00:25:27.920 would like him

00:25:28.400 to use more measured tones,

00:25:30.480 but it's impossible

00:25:32.900 to say whether

00:25:33.420 that would work or not

00:25:34.160 because it never has

00:25:34.860 in the past.

00:25:35.360 I want to ask you

00:25:37.120 one last thing

00:25:37.680 and I don't want to engage

00:25:39.580 in conspiracy theories

00:25:40.880 and calling things

00:25:42.120 a false flag operation.

00:25:43.820 It's a rather intricate theory.

00:25:47.540 I mean,

00:25:47.740 Occam's razor says

00:25:48.800 the simplest answer

00:25:49.900 is often the best.

00:25:51.700 This was some kook

00:25:53.740 trying to scare

00:25:54.460 the Clintons or whatever.

00:25:55.980 But the reason I say that,

00:25:57.440 I'm sorry to go back on this,

00:25:58.640 but let me just tell you

00:25:59.480 something that's on my mind,

00:26:01.260 Joel,

00:26:01.460 and we'll end on this

00:26:02.720 because I know

00:26:03.080 your time today

00:26:03.600 is very pressed.

00:26:04.180 There have been dozens

00:26:06.820 of allegations of violence

00:26:10.020 and physical attacks

00:26:11.220 and threats made

00:26:12.160 against Trump supporters

00:26:14.280 regarding, you know,

00:26:17.040 someone who says

00:26:18.100 I was attacked

00:26:19.120 in a hate crime

00:26:20.440 by a Trump supporter.

00:26:21.800 I had this swastika 0.72

00:26:23.460 drawn on my car.

00:26:24.900 I had this noose.

00:26:26.640 I'm a black person.

00:26:27.680 I had this noose

00:26:28.620 left on my dorm

00:26:30.020 by some Trump supporter.

00:26:31.660 If you Google hoaxes

00:26:33.860 for hate crimes,

00:26:35.020 you will find dozens

00:26:36.500 of examples in America

00:26:37.660 and many up here

00:26:38.840 in Canada too,

00:26:39.700 including the notorious

00:26:40.940 hijab hoax 0.99

00:26:42.220 where an 11-year-old girl

00:26:43.660 claimed she was attacked

00:26:45.080 by an Asian man

00:26:46.240 cutting her hijab 0.93

00:26:47.340 with scissors.

00:26:48.460 And my point is,

00:26:49.580 those hoaxes

00:26:50.560 have grown tiresome,

00:26:52.360 but the same people,

00:26:53.360 the same motivation

00:26:54.300 for those hoaxes,

00:26:55.760 it's just even more hyperbole

00:26:58.000 if they're a bomb threat.

00:26:59.720 That's the reason

00:27:00.840 I would give any credence

00:27:02.480 to the notion

00:27:03.380 that this is

00:27:04.020 a political gambit.

00:27:05.960 Now, I don't want

00:27:06.580 to go down the road

00:27:07.220 of speculation

00:27:08.000 or conspiracy theory,

00:27:10.780 but I guess

00:27:11.100 I wanted to tell you

00:27:12.360 my rationale

00:27:13.000 for being at least skeptical

00:27:14.920 and wanting to wait

00:27:16.040 for the facts to come in

00:27:17.380 before laying this

00:27:19.200 at the feet

00:27:19.820 of any Republican

00:27:21.180 because we've seen

00:27:21.960 so many other

00:27:22.740 false accusations

00:27:24.220 against other Republicans,

00:27:25.560 false accusations

00:27:26.240 against Brett Kavanaugh,

00:27:27.680 that he was a gang rapist,

00:27:29.200 which would be

00:27:29.680 a capital offense.

00:27:31.600 So I think that is

00:27:33.060 one of the weapons

00:27:34.200 of the Democrats

00:27:34.840 these days.

00:27:35.540 Last word to you, Joel.

00:27:40.180 There are hoaxes.

00:27:41.820 This may or may not

00:27:43.400 fall into that category.

00:27:44.440 We don't know.

00:27:45.000 I will say this.

00:27:46.220 Early last year,

00:27:47.580 there were dozens,

00:27:49.240 maybe even hundreds,

00:27:50.140 of hoax bomb threats

00:27:51.860 phoned into Jewish

00:27:53.180 community centers

00:27:53.960 around the country,

00:27:54.640 and the left

00:27:55.340 made a meal of it

00:27:56.600 and blamed Trump's election

00:27:58.060 for prompting

00:27:59.000 this wave

00:28:00.020 of anti-Semitism,

00:28:01.140 this violence,

00:28:01.860 this terrorism.

00:28:02.900 It turned out to be

00:28:03.740 a Jewish American

00:28:04.640 Israeli teenager

00:28:06.740 hoaxing Jewish 1.00

00:28:08.880 community centers

00:28:09.640 from Israel.

00:28:11.420 And that doesn't mean

00:28:12.520 there aren't

00:28:13.100 anti-Semitic threats,

00:28:14.340 but this was a hoax

00:28:15.460 done by a disturbed

00:28:16.840 teenager in his basement

00:28:18.320 or his parents' basement.

00:28:20.640 And,

00:28:21.080 or I don't know

00:28:22.160 if he was in a

00:28:22.660 physical basement,

00:28:23.400 but whatever.

00:28:23.840 He was in his parents' home.

00:28:25.520 And the organizations

00:28:28.020 that had ginned up

00:28:29.140 all of this fear

00:28:30.240 and loathing

00:28:30.880 for the Republicans

00:28:31.660 and for Trump

00:28:32.380 did not back away.

00:28:34.380 They still

00:28:35.200 continued to press

00:28:37.320 the case that there

00:28:38.100 was this wave

00:28:38.820 of anti-Semitic violence

00:28:39.900 and it was all

00:28:40.380 Trump's fault,

00:28:41.740 which basically

00:28:42.360 gives people permission

00:28:44.180 to hate Trump supporters,

00:28:45.300 to demonize Trump supporters,

00:28:46.480 maybe even to attack

00:28:47.280 Trump supporters.

00:28:48.140 Yeah.

00:28:49.300 There's never been

00:28:50.120 an apology for that.

00:28:51.960 Right.

00:28:52.220 And I think that

00:28:53.760 what the media

00:28:54.800 and the activists

00:28:55.600 and the Democrats

00:28:56.240 have done together

00:28:57.300 is create a scenario

00:28:59.460 where if you're

00:29:01.720 a Trump supporter,

00:29:02.360 you're presumed guilty.

00:29:03.620 And that has led

00:29:04.580 some people

00:29:04.980 to do crazy things.

00:29:06.340 So I think everybody

00:29:07.400 needs to take a step back,

00:29:08.460 but the media

00:29:08.860 definitely need to own this

00:29:10.380 and need to own their role

00:29:11.620 in creating this environment

00:29:13.320 as much as anybody else.

00:29:15.260 Yeah.

00:29:15.880 Well, that's a very wise reminder

00:29:17.640 and thank you for that.

00:29:18.620 I was embarrassed, frankly.

00:29:20.680 I mean, I shouldn't be embarrassed

00:29:22.560 by reason of ethnicity

00:29:23.640 that it was a fellow Jew

00:29:25.380 calling in false flag threats

00:29:27.840 to Jewish community centers,

00:29:29.020 but I did find it

00:29:29.860 somewhat embarrassing

00:29:30.820 because anti-Semitism

00:29:32.320 is real in the world

00:29:33.580 and to have it cheapened

00:29:34.440 by a hoax irritated me.

00:29:37.040 And that's something

00:29:38.200 to keep in mind

00:29:38.880 when we see these bomb threats today

00:29:40.520 because we know

00:29:42.100 that false flag operations,

00:29:43.500 however insane they sound,

00:29:46.680 they do exist

00:29:47.500 and they have been used

00:29:48.340 against Trump.

00:29:48.940 Joel, it's great to see you again.

00:29:49.760 Thanks for your wise

00:29:50.940 and sober words as always.

00:29:53.100 Thank you.

00:29:53.620 All right, there you have it.

00:29:54.300 Joel Pollack,

00:29:54.960 the senior editor-at-large

00:29:56.140 at Breitbart.com.

00:29:57.480 Stay with us.

00:29:57.960 More ahead on the road.

00:30:09.840 Hey, welcome back.

00:30:10.720 I was in the United Kingdom,

00:30:12.340 as you know.

00:30:12.920 I did my show on Monday

00:30:13.860 explaining why I was going

00:30:14.860 and I'm grateful to my friends

00:30:16.140 for covering for me

00:30:16.900 when I was away.

00:30:17.400 I'm back now.

00:30:19.040 And just to give you

00:30:20.060 a minute on that

00:30:20.600 because I know a lot

00:30:21.180 of Canadians care about

00:30:22.240 the Tommy Robinson case,

00:30:24.420 not because they have

00:30:25.380 a particular connection

00:30:26.540 to Tommy,

00:30:27.160 although he worked for us

00:30:28.040 for a year,

00:30:28.980 but because they see it

00:30:30.100 as a canary in the coal mine

00:30:31.300 on so many issues,

00:30:32.740 freedom of speech,

00:30:33.420 Islamification,

00:30:34.300 things of that sort,

00:30:35.540 the politicization

00:30:36.480 of the police

00:30:37.460 and the courts.

00:30:39.140 So Tommy Robinson

00:30:39.880 was set to have his hearing

00:30:42.320 for contempt of court.

00:30:43.200 The judge punted it

00:30:45.000 over to the attorney general.

00:30:46.020 I won't get into

00:30:46.440 the technicalities of it.

00:30:48.040 The court hearing

00:30:48.980 was very brief,

00:30:50.180 but on the street outside

00:30:51.020 were at least 2,000 people

00:30:54.340 rallying in Tommy's support.

00:30:55.900 It was unbelievable.

00:30:58.060 As you may know,

00:30:59.120 I brought along with me

00:31:00.300 four or five journalists

00:31:03.060 that, I say four or five

00:31:05.500 because there were four

00:31:06.240 we brought,

00:31:06.980 and I encouraged another one

00:31:08.200 to come on his own

00:31:09.280 because I'm sick

00:31:12.540 of the media party

00:31:13.260 in the UK.

00:31:13.800 They're actually far worse

00:31:14.660 than our media party

00:31:15.660 here in Canada,

00:31:16.240 if you can believe it.

00:31:17.660 And I want to show you,

00:31:20.120 can I leave today

00:31:21.380 by showing you

00:31:22.780 two excerpts

00:31:27.960 from the little rally

00:31:29.700 that was outside

00:31:30.920 the courthouse.

00:31:31.560 There was a little stage

00:31:32.580 and there were some speeches

00:31:33.720 and Tommy came out

00:31:34.600 and he read his witness statement.

00:31:37.400 And you can find that

00:31:38.020 on a YouTube page.

00:31:39.040 But I want to start

00:31:40.180 by showing you

00:31:41.300 my short speech.

00:31:43.260 It's only about four minutes.

00:31:44.140 Can you watch it?

00:31:44.960 Because I want to show you

00:31:45.860 something afterwards

00:31:46.540 by Andrew Lawton

00:31:47.200 that's even better.

00:31:48.100 Here's my four and a half minutes

00:31:49.960 or so of comments

00:31:50.900 from the stage

00:31:52.520 in front of 2,000

00:31:54.400 Tommy supporters

00:31:55.760 outside the court.

00:31:56.480 Take a look.

00:31:57.080 You know,

00:31:57.500 I've been calling Tommy

00:31:58.840 the last lion of Britain.

00:32:04.260 As I look around

00:32:05.540 your beautiful city of London,

00:32:07.200 I see many lions.

00:32:10.980 At first,

00:32:12.040 I thought it was just

00:32:12.980 the statues

00:32:13.700 at Trafalgar Square

00:32:15.460 or outside Buckingham Palace

00:32:17.540 at Queen Victoria's Memorial.

00:32:19.800 And I thought

00:32:20.360 maybe Tommy is the last.

00:32:22.500 But as I look across

00:32:24.120 the thousands of faces here,

00:32:26.900 that the media party

00:32:28.080 will count only

00:32:28.980 in the hundreds.

00:32:29.680 As I look at the thousands

00:32:33.040 of faces here,

00:32:34.360 I know that there are

00:32:36.720 lion cubs being born.

00:32:40.220 And I would encourage you

00:32:42.000 to speak up

00:32:42.940 with courage and strength.

00:32:45.460 As my old British friend

00:32:46.820 John O'Sullivan said,

00:32:48.320 it's easier to fight

00:32:49.980 in the first ditch

00:32:51.200 than in the last ditch.

00:32:53.240 And what I would say to you

00:32:56.800 is if you don't stand

00:32:58.860 with Tommy Robinson today,

00:33:01.360 however hard it is,

00:33:03.820 however much slander

00:33:06.080 and calumny

00:33:06.960 is directed at you

00:33:07.940 by your own media

00:33:08.940 and even your government

00:33:10.260 and even some police brass,

00:33:12.580 if you don't stand up now

00:33:14.580 when it's hard,

00:33:15.680 I guarantee

00:33:16.660 it will be harder later.

00:33:18.200 I must say

00:33:20.900 that back in Canada

00:33:22.500 where I'm from

00:33:23.440 and in America

00:33:24.680 where some of my fellow

00:33:26.100 real reporters

00:33:27.220 have come from today,

00:33:28.420 if we were to hear

00:33:30.720 of a man

00:33:31.360 who would have

00:33:32.500 his fifth hearing,

00:33:34.000 your first one in Leeds

00:33:34.980 on May 25th,

00:33:36.140 then the Court of Appeal hearing,

00:33:37.280 then the Court of Appeal ruling,

00:33:39.060 and then your hearing

00:33:39.720 here last month and today,

00:33:40.880 that's five.

00:33:42.200 And we know

00:33:42.820 there will be a sixth

00:33:43.740 and likely a seventh.

00:33:45.940 If anyone back

00:33:47.440 where I come from

00:33:48.360 in the daughters

00:33:49.280 of the empire,

00:33:50.560 in the commonwealth,

00:33:51.840 would hear

00:33:52.300 that in the mother country

00:33:54.360 where the Magna Carta

00:33:56.040 came from,

00:33:56.900 where the rule of law

00:33:57.900 was hammered out,

00:33:59.080 if we in America

00:34:00.820 and Canada

00:34:01.520 and Australia,

00:34:02.620 Avi,

00:34:02.800 thank you for making the journey,

00:34:04.220 if we were to know

00:34:05.520 that a man would be

00:34:07.280 on five court hearings

00:34:10.200 and had served

00:34:11.460 ten weeks

00:34:13.160 in solitary confinement

00:34:14.520 when it's against the law

00:34:15.720 in Britain

00:34:16.320 to serve 14 days or more

00:34:18.020 because of the psychological damage.

00:34:20.460 And if we would learn

00:34:21.360 that this was all

00:34:22.060 because of a Facebook video

00:34:24.400 that didn't disrupt a case,

00:34:26.620 if this were in any country

00:34:28.900 other than the United Kingdom

00:34:30.520 that we heard this,

00:34:31.820 if we heard

00:34:32.520 that a citizen journalist

00:34:34.000 was swept off the street

00:34:36.080 into a police station,

00:34:37.580 into a court,

00:34:38.180 into a prison

00:34:38.740 in five hours

00:34:39.680 and that he wasn't even invited

00:34:41.420 to say one word,

00:34:43.340 he wasn't even asked,

00:34:44.580 guilty or not,

00:34:45.380 he didn't say one word,

00:34:47.040 if we were to hear that

00:34:48.080 coming from Iran

00:34:49.280 or North Korea

00:34:50.420 or Venezuela,

00:34:51.860 would we not say

00:34:52.960 that is a political prisoner

00:34:54.600 in an authoritarian state?

00:34:58.720 And so,

00:34:59.300 how is it

00:35:00.140 that the United Kingdom

00:35:01.940 with such a history

00:35:03.400 of liberty and law

00:35:04.840 can treat its own son

00:35:06.880 this way

00:35:07.520 and maybe sometimes

00:35:09.620 you need voices

00:35:11.120 from outside the country

00:35:12.380 to say,

00:35:12.800 what are you doing?

00:35:14.000 What are you doing?

00:35:16.640 And so,

00:35:17.500 let me close by inviting

00:35:18.740 each one of you

00:35:20.140 to try to be

00:35:21.840 a lion in your own way,

00:35:24.000 not to bend the knee

00:35:25.540 when the media party

00:35:27.160 calls you names.

00:35:28.560 They will call you names

00:35:29.820 no matter what.

00:35:30.760 Try to show

00:35:33.160 some courage

00:35:34.740 as inspired by Tommy.

00:35:36.420 If he can do

00:35:37.380 10 months

00:35:38.520 in a dungeon

00:35:39.680 for his free speech,

00:35:42.180 surely you can do something,

00:35:44.340 a fraction of that

00:35:45.460 for your own.

00:35:46.700 Well,

00:35:47.240 you've heard me say that

00:35:47.920 before,

00:35:48.300 I regard Tommy

00:35:48.940 as the last lion,

00:35:50.300 but there were

00:35:51.080 2,000 people there

00:35:52.160 ready to be lion cubs.

00:35:53.540 Give them credit.

00:35:54.620 Now,

00:35:54.940 I mentioned

00:35:55.520 the real reporters

00:35:56.360 we crowdfunded.

00:35:57.660 We just crowdfunded

00:35:58.840 their flight

00:35:59.420 and hotels.

00:36:00.200 We didn't pay them a fee.

00:36:01.700 They're under no editorial

00:36:02.880 governance or guidance

00:36:04.140 whatsoever.

00:36:04.940 I just knew

00:36:05.780 that if they were

00:36:06.340 honest reporters,

00:36:07.220 they'd see what was going on

00:36:08.420 unlike the vendetta

00:36:09.840 reporters of the UK

00:36:10.820 media party.

00:36:11.700 And one of those

00:36:12.520 is, you know,

00:36:12.940 we had Candace Malcolm,

00:36:14.260 we had Avi Amini

00:36:15.420 from Australia,

00:36:16.400 we had Cassandra Fairbanks

00:36:18.040 from Washington, D.C.

00:36:19.540 One of them

00:36:20.060 was our friend

00:36:20.440 Andrew Lawton.

00:36:21.280 And he came into the court

00:36:22.500 and he sat

00:36:25.140 with the rest of the media,

00:36:26.200 but they didn't know

00:36:26.700 who he was, right?

00:36:27.580 I mean, I'm me

00:36:28.420 and they don't like me

00:36:29.360 the British media.

00:36:30.820 He had no clue

00:36:31.340 who Andrew was,

00:36:32.180 so he was sitting

00:36:32.840 right with them.

00:36:33.620 And he wasn't

00:36:34.200 eavesdropping on them

00:36:35.080 or anything.

00:36:35.640 They were just talking

00:36:36.360 out loud

00:36:36.840 inches behind him.

00:36:38.800 Take a listen

00:36:39.700 to what Andrew

00:36:40.720 personally witnessed

00:36:42.180 them saying.

00:36:43.280 This is just a couple

00:36:43.860 minutes,

00:36:44.180 but take a look.

00:36:46.140 My name is Andrew Lawton.

00:36:48.100 I am from London,

00:36:49.100 Ontario.

00:36:50.140 He's in Canada.

00:36:53.880 So I was in the courtroom

00:36:55.500 in the front row

00:36:56.560 waiting to cover

00:36:57.420 for Tommy Robinson.

00:36:58.940 The mainstream media

00:37:00.520 did not know

00:37:01.420 who I was

00:37:02.200 being the undocumented

00:37:03.300 foreigner in this land.

00:37:06.020 And they were speaking

00:37:07.300 a little candidly.

00:37:08.480 Would you like to hear

00:37:09.320 what they said?

00:37:13.520 So where's Ezra?

00:37:14.800 My personal favorite,

00:37:15.940 and by the way,

00:37:16.640 this will be quoted

00:37:17.600 on my website later today

00:37:19.560 with their publication name.

00:37:21.880 My personal favorite was

00:37:28.100 about our friend

00:37:29.860 Ezra Levant.

00:37:30.920 Quote,

00:37:31.520 he needs to be arrested.

00:37:33.100 He needs to be arrested.

00:37:36.400 Shame on him!

00:37:37.980 Shame on him!

00:37:39.480 Shame on him!

00:37:40.820 Shame on him!

00:37:42.160 Shame on him!

00:37:43.400 Shame on him!

00:37:44.720 Shame on him!

00:37:45.400 He's whipped off hate

00:37:47.200 was what they said

00:37:48.440 before the proceeding

00:37:50.200 even started.

00:37:51.220 This is what they said

00:37:52.120 about Tommy.

00:37:53.020 Quote,

00:37:53.660 he is in contempt of court.

00:37:56.100 There's not really any doubt.

00:37:58.420 And there was one more.

00:38:04.360 You see,

00:38:04.720 one of the great members

00:38:06.380 of the law enforcement

00:38:07.580 who have done a lot

00:38:08.280 of great work today

00:38:09.080 said to them

00:38:09.840 at the time

00:38:10.920 there were about

00:38:11.660 1,500 people.

00:38:13.660 They said,

00:38:14.760 let's just say

00:38:15.720 a few hundred

00:38:16.880 quote,

00:38:18.060 because we don't

00:38:19.240 want to give it credit.

00:38:28.340 This is why

00:38:29.580 I got on a plane

00:38:30.840 to come here

00:38:31.740 to cover the facts.

00:38:33.760 That's why I'm here.

00:38:34.820 Thank you.

00:38:35.480 Look,

00:38:35.980 that does not surprise me.

00:38:37.500 The only thing

00:38:37.960 that surprises me

00:38:38.860 is how brazen they were

00:38:40.700 that they would talk

00:38:41.320 about it openly,

00:38:42.320 all the other journalists

00:38:43.340 in on it,

00:38:44.440 except for this time

00:38:45.260 we had a real reporter

00:38:46.160 from Canada

00:38:46.880 to witness it.

00:38:48.060 Do you doubt

00:38:48.540 that our Canadian media party

00:38:50.080 is the same way,

00:38:51.240 colluding together

00:38:52.080 to marginalize conservatives

00:38:53.620 they don't like?

00:38:54.480 I'm certain

00:38:55.160 it's the same way.

00:38:56.240 Anyways,

00:38:56.580 I showed you two clips.

00:38:57.840 There's a ton of clips.

00:38:59.040 If you want to watch more,

00:39:00.100 go to TommyTrial.com.

00:39:01.960 That's where we've got

00:39:02.660 all our clips

00:39:03.260 on this subject.

00:39:03.860 That's it for today.

00:39:05.020 On behalf of all of us

00:39:05.820 here at Rebel World Headquarters

00:39:06.800 to you at home,

00:39:07.320 good night.

00:39:08.080 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:39:15.260 All right.

00:39:24.180 I'm out.
