Rebel News Podcast - Three news stories, three new disasters with Justin Trudeau’s mass migration policy

00:00:00.000 Hello, Rebels. You are listening to a free audio-only recording of my show, The Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:05.660 Today, we talk about three news stories in a row.

00:00:10.160 All that came out today, one from the Toronto Star, one from CTV,

00:00:14.320 and I'm trying to remember where the third one came from. I saw it out there.

00:00:19.140 All of them with bad news about migration.

00:00:23.960 I'm surprised to see this because, of course, mainstream media likes to really downplay bad news.

00:00:30.000 They call it racist or homophobic.

00:00:32.400 One of the stories was about Yazidi women getting threats from ISIS terrorists right here in Canada.

00:00:39.560 Another was how we have almost 12,000 people in the security clearance line.

00:00:45.360 They're allowed in the country. Their security clearance is not done.

00:00:48.940 And then there's a third story, and you'll have to listen yourself in the moments ahead.

00:01:42.140 Tonight, three new stories, three new disasters with Justin Trudeau's mass migration policy.

00:01:48.540 It's February 5th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:52.940 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:56.720 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:02:00.780 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:02:12.140 Here is a terrifying story.

00:02:14.420 It's heartbreaking.

00:02:15.360 It's repulsive.

00:02:16.260 It's sad.

00:02:16.740 It's infuriating.

00:02:19.100 Former ISIS sex slaves sheltered in Canada threatened with phone calls, texts.

00:02:26.920 It's on the CTV website.

00:02:28.940 So to be clear, these women are in Canada now. 0.97

00:02:33.340 They're getting those threats now in Canada.

00:02:35.840 They're not back in Syria or Iraq.

00:02:37.860 Let me read a little bit of the story.

00:02:38.800 Former ISIS sex slaves who were given sanctuary in Canada are again living in fear after being bombarded by voicemails and texts threatening rape and murder.

00:02:51.620 Now I'm going to read a little bit more from the CTV story, and I give them credit for reporting it.

00:02:55.900 These days, most mainstream media go out of their way to unreport or anti-report any bad news about Muslim terrorists.

00:03:03.640 Let me read a bit.

00:03:04.280 Five women and one 14-year-old girl have filed reports with York Regional Police.

00:03:11.800 The victims are all Yazidis who survived an ISIS-led genocide in Iraq in 2014.

00:03:17.180 Now just to remind you, Yazidi, that's the name of their religion, it's an ancient religion.

00:03:24.700 It's a very, very small in number.

00:03:26.900 They pretty much all live in Syria and Iraq. 0.83

00:03:30.000 They were amongst the first to be targeted by ISIS terrorists because they're not Muslim.

00:03:35.220 And so ISIS terrorists have their way with them.

00:03:37.600 And in particular, Yazidi women, some of them often have blue eyes. 0.97

00:03:43.240 And so they were prized by ISIS terrorists as rape slaves. 0.98

00:03:47.420 Now I'm sorry to use those words, rape slaves, but that's what it is. 1.00

00:03:50.720 That's what it's called. 0.95

00:03:51.960 That's what it's historically being called.

00:03:53.640 I showed you this video a couple of years ago of ISIS terrorists excited about an auction,

00:04:01.640 a slave auction where Yazidi women were about to be sold to the highest bidder for rape slavery.

00:04:10.480 This was officially approved by the ISIS government and their commanders and their theocratic bosses. 0.98

00:04:18.920 It was one of the ways to reward Muslim terrorists. 1.00

00:04:22.680 Videos like this weren't just to brag and to intimidate infidels. 1.00

00:04:26.960 It was to recruit losers from around the world, basically saying, 0.83

00:04:32.420 if you can't get a girlfriend, if you can't get a date, come to Syria and Iraq, fight with ISIS, 1.00

00:04:37.360 and we will give you a rape slave and you will have our official Islamic blessing. 1.00

00:04:42.860 We'll give you a fatwa to bless you that you're actually serving God by raping these infidels. 1.00

00:04:49.820 I'm sorry to talk like this, but surely we must talk about it. 0.98

00:04:53.120 Here's that slave auction video.

00:04:56.960 We're also going to live, and we're going to live, and who do I have a golden

00:05:21.340 Thanks!

00:05:22.800 Like they're discussing animals or something. 0.59

00:05:46.880 Now, I have met some of these escaped Yazidi rape slaves. 1.00

00:05:53.920 I have met them and spoken with them through an interpreter.

00:05:58.020 Some of these women escaped to Germany and lived at a refugee integration center in Germany. 0.78

00:06:05.440 But then they were attacked again in Germany in the refugee absorption center by other refugees who were actually ISIS members themselves.

00:06:14.900 So they had to escape within Germany and they fled to this safe house that I visited run by that nun there on the left.

00:06:25.900 Sister Hattun is her name.

00:06:27.960 And you can see the Yazidi woman in the middle there and Sister Hattun was doing the translation.

00:06:33.360 I spoke with this group of women.

00:06:35.160 One of the women I met, not this woman, but another woman that I met at this house. 0.97

00:06:39.980 She said she was raped so many times by different Muslim terrorists that she lost track. 0.98

00:06:47.780 She lost count after being raped 240 times. 0.99

00:06:52.820 Now, I'm sorry to tell you these words.

00:06:54.540 I'm sorry to talk this way.

00:06:56.160 You can imagine how shocking it was to hear this testimony from a person.

00:06:59.940 I almost refused to believe it.

00:07:01.920 I didn't want to believe it. 0.92

00:07:03.300 I wanted to call them liars.

00:07:04.900 I had this instinct within me to say, no, stop lying to me, because the mind cannot comprehend such evil.

00:07:11.980 Surely it can't be true.

00:07:13.600 Surely what they described cannot be true.

00:07:16.380 But it is true. 0.90

00:07:18.180 It is true.

00:07:19.160 And if they lived that evil, the least we can do is to document it, to talk about it, to remember it, even if we don't actually do something about it.

00:07:31.300 Surely we shouldn't turn away from the evil that they suffered. 0.81

00:07:34.560 But, by the way, they raped the Yazidi women, but they killed the Yazidi men. 0.98

00:07:41.600 Obviously, they have no use for them. 0.97

00:07:42.880 I think I showed you this clip the other day.

00:07:45.240 When I was in Germany, I bumped into a Yazidi man in the city of Cologne, Germany, just on the street,

00:07:52.320 who told me that if the other Muslim men on that very street knew who he really was,

00:07:59.860 because he looked just like the rest of them, that he would be in danger in Germany.

00:08:06.360 Remember this?

00:08:06.820 I'm going to send an egg.

00:08:08.480 I'm going to give the...

00:08:10.300 We go there.

00:08:11.320 Sure.

00:08:11.500 We can't directly say, we're Yazidi, it's very, very bad. 1.00

00:08:18.980 When we say, we're Yazidi, we're Yazidi.

00:08:20.560 When an Islamist hears, we say, we're Yazidi, they say, we're Kafir, we're very, very, very bad.

00:08:25.940 I understand.

00:08:27.040 There are also many Muslims that we can't directly...

00:08:29.760 Kafir is an infidel. 1.00

00:08:33.540 So they would be attacked in Germany if the Muslims on that street knew they weren't Muslim. 0.91

00:08:38.780 So that's a reminder about Yazidis and who they are.

00:08:43.380 Back to the CTV story.

00:08:44.600 I'll read a little more.

00:08:46.640 They have handed over to police recordings of the phone calls and screen grabs of the texts,

00:08:50.680 which reference the Islamic State and include pictures of beheadings and armed jihadis.

00:08:55.480 W5 has listened to the phone calls.

00:08:58.780 In one, a man laughs as he says in Arabic,

00:09:01.340 I am the man who effed you. 1.00

00:09:03.620 I am your rapist. 1.00

00:09:05.940 A second caller denounces Yazidis as devil worshippers. 1.00

00:09:09.480 And a third caller makes a graphic reference to rape.

00:09:13.540 The callers appear to have Iraqi, North African, and Gulf State accents.

00:09:17.780 York Regional Police have assembled a team to try to track where the calls are originating.

00:09:23.840 I'm curious how these ISIS terrorists would even be able to find these women in Canada

00:09:28.540 and find their contact info, their phone numbers.

00:09:31.240 I don't know where these latest threats came from.

00:09:34.720 But according to this story, last year by our friend Barbara Kaye, writing in the National Post,

00:09:41.180 who met with some of these Yazidi women now in Canada.

00:09:43.940 So just like I met with the Yazidis in Germany, Barbara met last year with the Yazidis in Canada.

00:09:50.500 And they say that ISIS terrorists, their rapists, are here in Canada too.

00:09:55.920 They were brought in to Canada by Justin Trudeau.

00:10:00.600 They're not just right here in Canada somewhere. 0.98

00:10:03.140 They're literally in the same town as the women they raped. 0.77

00:10:05.520 One of them spotted one of them on the street. 0.93

00:10:06.940 Let me quote. I'm going to quote the story from Barbara Kaye.

00:10:09.080 She has been living in London, Ontario for eight months.

00:10:11.220 Recently on a bus, she recognized X, the slave market boss, who had owned her and used her for months. 0.74

00:10:18.420 They got off at the same stop.

00:10:19.920 X saw her, covered his face, and ran off.

00:10:24.460 So we actually knew a year ago, that's when Barbara's story ran,

00:10:28.460 that ISIS terrorists who kept rape slaves, who sold rape slaves, those are war crimes, by the way. 0.51

00:10:33.380 They were walking our streets, harassing and terrifying their former victims, it sounds like.

00:10:40.480 But they're here in Canada in any event.

00:10:42.480 That's like after the Second World War, when Nazi concentration camp guards,

00:10:47.680 I don't know, fled or escaped in disguise or something, from Germany to Argentina.

00:10:52.920 Some even came here to Canada after the war.

00:10:55.000 We're living in a disguise, hiding from justice, hiding their past.

00:10:59.540 Well, except Argentina, that's one thing.

00:11:03.700 Canada, we're not supposed to be a banana republic.

00:11:05.960 We're supposed to be a nation of the rule of law, and our government is supposed to keep us safe. 0.85

00:11:09.800 And those ISIS rape slavers are here in Canada?

00:11:12.300 We knew this a year ago, by the way. 0.96

00:11:15.700 But who's kidding whom?

00:11:16.740 Our prime minister gives public apologies to terrorists like Omar Khadr.

00:11:20.580 And Trudeau has given at least three other Muslim terrorists or accused terrorists or people arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

00:11:28.760 He's given them each $10 million.

00:11:31.200 So that's $40 million to terrorists or accused terrorists or people arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

00:11:37.060 Add in Meher Arar, you're up to $50 million now.

00:11:41.140 But remember, Trudeau says our Canadian military veterans, you know, they're just simply asking for more than he can give.

00:11:46.620 So he'll fight them in court forever.

00:11:48.340 First of all, why are we still fighting against certain veterans groups in court?

00:11:56.380 Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now.

00:12:01.860 So that's story number one.

00:12:03.160 ISIS terrorists still terrifying ISIS victims right here in Canada.

00:12:06.640 You know, I was in Germany visiting those Yazidi refugees.

00:12:09.580 I think that was three years ago now.

00:12:12.100 I thought, well, that's Germany. 0.88

00:12:13.740 It's far away.

00:12:14.240 No, no, now that same dystopian horror story has come here to Canada.

00:12:18.820 Justin Trudeau has brought it here. 0.82

00:12:20.900 Justin Trudeau has brought 50,000 Syrians here, unvetted from the world's worst rape culture. 1.00

00:12:26.980 He brought that here.

00:12:28.060 Are you surprised that one of Trudeau's Syrians is charged with the rape and murder of 13-year-old Marissa Shen in Vancouver?

00:12:34.060 Why was he here in the first place?

00:12:36.260 But look at this next story from the left-wing pro-Islam Toronto Star.

00:12:42.320 Concerns raised over national security amid refugee screening backlog.

00:12:47.140 I'm amazed the Toronto Star even published this, frankly.

00:12:50.020 Let me quote the story.

00:12:52.220 Thousands of refugee claimants are living in Canada without having been fully cleared by national security,

00:12:57.080 according to a report that shows a massive backlog in screenings amid a border crisis that began in 2016.

00:13:04.300 The internal government report shows the number of asylum seekers awaiting clearance had exploded sevenfold between 2016 and 2018.

00:13:13.580 So we're not even talking about Trudeau's Syrians here, necessarily.

00:13:16.420 It sounds like these are people who just walked across the border from the United States.

00:13:21.060 Maybe they were about to be deported by Donald Trump.

00:13:23.660 Maybe they just wanted free stuff in Canada.

00:13:25.780 And as you know, Trudeau gives migrants up to $50,000 a year in their first year.

00:13:30.140 And that's on top of all the other levels of government and their free stuff from hospitals to schools to food banks.

00:13:35.240 Trudeau himself gives each migrant family $50,000.

00:13:40.540 We've shown you the government documents to back that up.

00:13:42.780 You can go to 50,000.ca, that's 5-0-0-0-0.ca, if you want to see those documents.

00:13:50.620 Again, I recommend you do.

00:13:52.340 Let me read a little more.

00:13:54.340 As of last February, Canada Border Services Agency had 11,745 asylum seekers in the queue for a security assessment.

00:14:03.720 Up from just 1,693 two years earlier, refugee claimants accounted for 41% of the overall security backlog,

00:14:10.900 which also included screenings required for those applying for permanent residence, international students, foreign workers, and visitors.

00:14:17.620 Nearly 12,000 in the security queue.

00:14:22.100 So let's be clear.

00:14:23.000 We've let them in already.

00:14:24.260 They're here now.

00:14:25.300 And they're free to go.

00:14:26.940 They're free to wander around.

00:14:27.720 They're not in jail.

00:14:28.520 They're not in a holding facility.

00:14:29.880 They don't have a, you know, a GPS anklet bracelet or anything.

00:14:34.760 They're anywhere.

00:14:35.620 They don't have to report in.

00:14:36.820 They don't have to stay put.

00:14:37.660 But nearly 12,000 people who have not been cleared for security.

00:14:42.580 They're just here.

00:14:44.540 I should remind you that when one of Trudeau's Syrians was arrested on suspicion of terrorism the other day in Kingston,

00:14:50.900 remember the RCMP officer specifically said it took 300 different people from a variety of agencies to catch him.

00:14:58.300 Remember that?

00:14:58.740 I can confirm at this time that the RCMP has required over 300 resources to support this investigation.

00:15:06.860 Investigations of this nature require extensive cooperation and collaboration with our domestic and international partners.

00:15:14.940 He later clarified that he was talking about 300 different people.

00:15:19.400 That's what it took to catch one person arrested on suspicion of terrorism.

00:15:27.800 And we have nearly 12,000 just wandering around.

00:15:32.700 I'm not going to say someone could get killed.

00:15:37.760 Because that already happened to Marissa Shen. 1.00

00:15:41.220 And that's just violence.

00:15:42.560 And that's just terrorism.

00:15:43.640 And that's just rape. 1.00

00:15:44.580 And that's just radical Islam. 0.99

00:15:45.820 And that's just re-victimizing those Yazidi women. 1.00

00:15:48.300 That's just murder.

00:15:49.140 But what about other obvious, less acute problems?

00:15:53.700 I don't know if you saw David Menzies' amazing story the other day about huge airplane hangar-style temporary refugee camps being set up all around Toronto.

00:16:02.880 They're huge.

00:16:04.080 And they're for homeless people.

00:16:05.640 But it's mainly Trudeau's migrants.

00:16:10.180 Canadian homeless people, especially Aboriginal homeless people, they can wait in line behind Trudeau's migrants.

00:16:16.840 Behind the 12,000 security risks, behind the illegal migrants just hopping across the border to collect their 50 grand from Trudeau.

00:16:25.440 David showed you these massive urban refugee camps.

00:16:28.040 But here's some news that's sort of old, as in, we all knew this before.

00:16:32.520 Look at this.

00:16:33.180 City overwhelmed by refugee claimants. 1.00

00:16:35.320 This is a story written by our friend Sue Ann Levy, reporting from Toronto City Hall.

00:16:39.480 Let me quote.

00:16:39.900 A briefing note to Monday's Budget Committee says Toronto can no longer accommodate an ongoing influx of refugees wanting to be housed in the city's shelter system.

00:16:50.280 Toronto's shelter system is in immediate danger of being overwhelmed, says the seven-page update from Paul Raftis, general manager of the city's shelter support and housing department.

00:16:59.720 I'll read just a little more.

00:17:00.640 Raftis notes, as we've heard before, that an average of 18 new refugee claimants are seeking accommodation in city shelters daily.

00:17:10.880 And from the beginning of last September to the end of the year alone, 2,066 irregular migrants have turned up at Toronto shelters.

00:17:18.260 I love that phrase, irregular migrants. 1.00

00:17:21.100 I just love that, irregular.

00:17:22.920 Irregular, that's when you have to eat some bran to make your digestion better.

00:17:28.080 You know, the actual sign at the border crossing, it doesn't say, it is irregular to cross the border.

00:17:34.960 You see that under the word stop.

00:17:37.060 It says, it is illegal.

00:17:40.980 We have 2,000 illegal migrants who have pushed aside Canadian homeless people to get to the front of the line for free stuff, including during this recent cold snap.

00:17:51.660 Three news stories, all on the same day, all saying the same thing.

00:17:56.660 Whether it's the Yazidis, whether it's the security clearances, whether it's the homeless shelter,

00:18:03.620 Justin Trudeau's obsession with disproportionately Muslim immigration, for some reason he's obsessed.

00:18:10.680 It's a security threat.

00:18:12.040 It's importing ISIS terrorists to our street. 0.99

00:18:13.980 That's what those former Yazidi rape slaves say. 1.00

00:18:16.220 It's overwhelming our police and security.

00:18:17.760 And it's pushing loyal, honest Canadian citizens out of the way for social services as thousands of illegals just jump to the front of the line. 1.00

00:18:27.260 Justin Trudeau and his extremist immigration minister, Ahmed Hassan, call anyone who objects to this a bigot or an Islamophobe or even a Nazi.

00:18:34.540 That's what his principal secretary, Gerald Butts, says.

00:18:37.580 And the media, especially the CBC and now the bailout media, they like to repeat that truth.

00:18:42.600 But it's not true.

00:18:44.660 The reckless ones, the dangerous ones, the unfair ones, are not you and me, law-abiding citizens, raising the alarm.

00:18:51.000 It's Justin Trudeau and his wrecking crew.

00:18:55.180 Stay with us for more.

00:19:07.580 Welcome back.

00:19:10.540 Well, did you know that we have a freelance reporter in Caracas, Venezuela, right now, covering the people's uprising against the dictator, Nicolas Maduro.

00:19:20.740 Her name is Annika Rothstein, and she's been doing videos from the heart of the city.

00:19:26.100 Thankfully, she has a bodyguard and even a bulletproof vest with her, although it's a very dangerous place even in that circumstance.

00:19:32.940 I encourage you to go and see all of Annika's videos at rebelvenezuela.com, and we're covering part of her travel and security costs.

00:19:43.940 If you want to chip in for the crowdfunding, you can do that also at rebelvenezuela.com.

00:19:48.360 Well, one of the things that's interesting to me is how the world has broken down on two sides of the Maduro-Chavez question.

00:19:55.100 America, Brazil under Jair Bolsonaro, and most or many of the world's democracies have sided with the interim president, who, it is their view, is the democratic and constitutional president.

00:20:09.660 His name is Juan Guaido.

00:20:11.920 But countries like Russia, China, Cuba are siding with the tyrant Maduro.

00:20:17.780 And joining us now to talk about this is one of the leading experts on Turkey and Iran and other places like that.

00:20:25.580 No surprise, he's with the Middle East Forum, and you know him as Dr. Daniel Pipes.

00:20:29.960 He joins us now via Skype from Washington.

00:20:32.120 Great to see you again, Dr. Pipes.

00:20:33.980 Great to see you, Ezra.

00:20:34.780 I think a lot of people are surprised to think that Venezuela, a country in Latin America, has such close ties to Iran and to Turkey.

00:20:47.000 Can you explain?

00:20:48.560 They seem like opposite countries to me, but they're connected.

00:20:52.380 Tell us about that.

00:20:54.040 Well, if you're anti-American, that's the side to be on.

00:20:57.260 Now, it's not surprising that Tehran is anti-American.

00:21:00.500 It's been anti-American for 40 years, almost to the day, since the Ayatollah landed.

00:21:05.640 But Turkey is, as you say, a more surprising case.

00:21:08.660 Turkey is a formal ally of the United States, Canada, and Western European countries.

00:21:14.320 It is a member of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

00:21:18.140 So we are formal allies.

00:21:19.800 But, in fact, under Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who's been in power a bit over 15 years, they're on the other side.

00:21:27.920 They have asked to join the Russian-Chinese equivalent of NATO, or sort of equivalent of NATO, called the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

00:21:38.140 They have steadfastly in virtually all their policies in recent years, or he, I should say, Erdogan, has steadfastly in all his policies over some years now, close to a decade, been always on the opposite sides from the Western democracies.

00:21:50.160 So this is predictable, on the one hand, but very strange, on the other hand, to be getting into bed with such a losing proposition as Nicolas Madero.

00:22:01.680 Now, I know that some countries have a practical arrangement with Venezuela.

00:22:06.920 Cuba has, in the past sense, effectively mercenaries, soldiers who would have no qualms about putting down Venezuelans. 0.78

00:22:15.140 Whereas a Venezuelan police officer might see a neighbor or a friend and actually flip sides.

00:22:21.860 We've seen a senior Air Force general switch sides from Maduro to the people.

00:22:27.580 So Cuba is like a special operatives force there.

00:22:33.180 Iran has helped in other ways, too.

00:22:35.440 They've had cooperation for a decade.

00:22:37.080 Does Turkey have anything to offer Venezuela, other than moral and political and propaganda support?

00:22:44.460 Is there any way that Turkey can actually boost the tyrant Maduro, or is it just symbolism?

00:22:51.500 You admitted to note that Russia has about $6 billion U.S. dollars indebted to it, and China more like $60 billion.

00:22:59.060 Oh, thank you for those reminders.

00:23:00.480 Large, large numbers, especially for a rather small country like Venezuela.

00:23:04.180 No, there's not much, practically speaking, that's taking place between the Republic of Turkey and Venezuela.

00:23:11.480 What is so interesting, I read an analysis that said that in Turkey, it's not just the government, but its arch foes, the leftist opposition,

00:23:23.000 that has joined together in supporting Maduro against, effectively, the United States.

00:23:28.180 And the reason they're doing this is because Turkey is going through economic travails, and there are elections coming up at the end of the next month.

00:23:36.020 And so what the leadership is doing, both leftist and Islamist, is saying, look, we've got problems with the United States.

00:23:43.080 That's why our economy is floundering.

00:23:46.140 Venezuela has got even greater problems with the United States, and that's why its problems are even worse than ours.

00:23:50.500 So it's a collusion, it's an electoral gambit.

00:23:54.740 It is a very strange and dead-end kind of way of proceeding, but it makes sense logically within the Turkish domestic context.

00:24:01.960 You know, I follow John Bolton, who has had many roles in his life.

00:24:09.080 He was a television pundit for many years.

00:24:11.700 Of course, he's now doing national security with the Trump administration.

00:24:16.520 He's active on Twitter, and he's got some interesting tweets in the last few days, speaking to the world's bankers, speaking to Maduro, saying,

00:24:25.260 don't do business with Venezuela, you'll get in trouble with American sanctions, don't help them. 1.00

00:24:30.240 And he's had some funny tweets, I guess he's taking after his boss, saying to Maduro,

00:24:35.160 you should go away, find a beach somewhere far away from Venezuela, and enjoy the rest of your life. 0.99

00:24:41.440 So he's saying messages that obviously will be read by Maduro's people and passed on to them.

00:24:47.960 I mean, it's a funny way of communicating in the year 2019.

00:24:51.980 But I think there really is a possibility.

00:24:54.660 What do you think of this, Dr. Pipes?

00:24:56.260 That maybe Maduro will scoop up a few billion dollars, and him and his family and his cronies and their families

00:25:04.060 will get on a plane to Istanbul, which looks like a lovely city.

00:25:10.360 I'd rather live in Istanbul than Tehran or probably even in Moscow.

00:25:14.920 Do you think there's a chance that maybe Maduro could flee with his billions to Turkey,

00:25:19.960 and this thing would be ended that way?

00:25:22.220 He doesn't need to scoop them up.

00:25:23.640 He's already got those billions.

00:25:25.920 They're at his disposal.

00:25:28.020 It's conceivable.

00:25:29.160 It has happened in the past.

00:25:30.240 There have been potentates who fled.

00:25:33.880 Right now, there's in Saudi Arabia, the former ruler of Tunisia, for example.

00:25:38.780 Or some decades past, Idi Amin, the ruler of Uganda, fled again to Saudi Arabia.

00:25:44.460 It does happen.

00:25:45.180 Estoril in Portugal is famous as the place where deposed kings and queens would live out their days.

00:25:53.420 So it's possible.

00:25:55.060 I think the key is the military and the police, the security forces, and whether they do flip or not.

00:26:00.840 Well, it looks like there are cracking at this point, but probably the next few weeks are critical.

00:26:08.980 Well, it's very interesting.

00:26:10.880 And like I say, I was surprised to see a familiar face in Caracas.

00:26:14.840 So we had Annika Rothstein agree to do some videos. 1.00

00:26:18.240 And for those who want to see what it looks like, there's a terribly depressing video of ordinary Caracas citizens scrounging in a dumpster for food.

00:26:28.160 They're so starving.

00:26:29.500 They're so impoverished.

00:26:30.600 I remember, Dr. Pipes, we had you on a couple months ago to talk about how Venezuela used to be the fourth richest country in the world, measured by GDP.

00:26:38.780 Even richer than Canada and the United Kingdom.

00:26:42.120 I'll never get over that.

00:26:43.240 Now they're literally eating out of dumpsters.

00:26:45.300 The average Venezuelan has lost nearly 20 pounds because of malnutrition.

00:26:48.660 It is truly shocking.

00:26:50.080 It really is a man-made famine.

00:26:52.720 It's terrific, I think.

00:26:54.120 I don't really have bad ideas.

00:26:56.180 Well, listen, Doctor, I want to switch gears.

00:26:58.820 I appreciate you talking to us about Maduro and Turkey.

00:27:01.300 That'll be interesting if anything comes from it.

00:27:03.160 But I know that you're in Washington because tomorrow the Middle East Forum is hosting a conference on Qatar.

00:27:10.880 Now, Qatar or Qatar, as some people say.

00:27:13.000 It is a tiny little country.

00:27:15.040 It's not, I wouldn't even call it really a country.

00:27:16.900 Most people who live there are not citizens.

00:27:19.100 They're foreign indentured workers. 0.99

00:27:20.900 They're oil rich.

00:27:21.800 They're even more natural gas rich.

00:27:24.640 They're strategically located.

00:27:26.240 I know that Canada had some, in the United States, it's a military operations base there.

00:27:31.200 But really, I know Qatar as two things.

00:27:34.560 I know them as the sponsors of the poisonous propaganda channel called Al Jazeera.

00:27:39.720 And I know them as the funder of ISIS. 0.73

00:27:42.720 Tell me what your conference tomorrow will discuss about a regime I consider odious.

00:27:47.840 Or have I got it all wrong?

00:27:48.940 No, you have it.

00:27:50.760 You have it right.

00:27:51.920 As you usually do.

00:27:56.260 I like to remember that in the mid-90s, after the collapse of the Civil Union, there was a joke going around in Washington, political circles.

00:28:04.580 What are the two great powers now?

00:28:05.980 No longer the Civil Union United States, but now it's Qatar and the United States.

00:28:09.760 So already, some 20-plus years ago, Qatar had these aspirations that symbolize Al Jazeera.

00:28:17.860 It's symbolized by the base, El Odaid, in Qatar, which has hosted some 10,000 Americans, not just a few.

00:28:25.360 It's an enormous base.

00:28:27.040 It's symbolized by its funding of all sorts of Islamist groups and so on.

00:28:32.080 Our conference is focused primarily not on the Middle East and the Muslim world, but the West.

00:28:37.680 What Qatari money has done here in the West, the law firms it's bought up, the donations to schools it's given.

00:28:47.280 Let me take that for an example.

00:28:49.400 They've encouraged the teaching and learning of Arabic, which is a good thing in itself.

00:28:54.480 But they brought with it a lot of baggage about Islam, about Qatar, and it's dubious.

00:29:00.920 It's worrisome.

00:29:02.080 And so we'll be exploring the impact of Qatar, which, as you say, is tiny.

00:29:07.200 300,000 plus, 300-plus thousand Qatari subjects, Qatari nationals.

00:29:13.200 Tiny, tiny, tiny.

00:29:14.260 Could fit into a part of Toronto.

00:29:18.020 You could add it to Toronto, no one would hardly notice.

00:29:21.980 But it's this tiny country with these extraordinary ambitions due in part to the Wahhabi ideology and part to the personalities of the rulers, both the father and now the son.

00:29:34.500 Well, and obviously you can't do that without money, and the money comes from oil and gas.

00:29:40.360 Obviously, it's a charter member of OPEC, and gas OPEC, which is a thing, too, Qatar, is one of the largest LNG, liquefied natural gas.

00:29:51.660 In fact, you know what's interesting, Dr. Pipes, I don't know if you know this, fracking is a debate in Canada, fracking for natural gas.

00:29:58.900 And America is fracking like crazy, but in Canada, it's a debate.

00:30:02.800 And when there was a protest against fracking in a little tiny town called Rexton in New Brunswick.

00:30:12.040 Like, this is a tiny town.

00:30:13.140 I couldn't find it on a map, I'll be honest.

00:30:14.800 I'd never heard of it before.

00:30:16.380 Al Jazeera sent a team to cover this anti-fracking protest in Rexton, New Brunswick.

00:30:23.120 Al Jazeera.

00:30:24.180 Because they want to suppress alternative sources of natural gas to themselves.

00:30:29.200 So they have a hand in our anti-energy propaganda.

00:30:32.800 Here in Canada, I don't know if you've ever heard of that story, but the local rioters specifically mentioned Al Jazeera as their ally against the RCMP and against even Canadian media.

00:30:44.360 Did you know?

00:30:44.980 Have you ever heard of that before?

00:30:46.740 I had not, but let me give you a counter illustration.

00:30:50.140 The New York Times has 40-some, 43, I think, accredited journalists on Capitol Hill in Washington.

00:30:56.080 Al Jazeera has 170-some.

00:30:58.440 Whoa, that's crazy.

00:31:00.360 That's crazy.

00:31:01.260 And it's just 300,000 nationals.

00:31:04.120 Of course, they have a lot of foreign workers from India, from even Palestinians.

00:31:08.340 I don't know if they're still welcome there.

00:31:10.000 They have a lot of, you know, a lot of people who are not even Muslim, who are not Arabian, just basically servants. 1.00

00:31:16.880 It's basically a royal family, some other nationals, and a bunch of servants.

00:31:21.860 That's how it seems to me.

00:31:23.280 But you say they're just motivated by this global ambition.

00:31:26.460 It's almost laughable, but I guess they're doing it, so it's not that laughable.

00:31:31.100 They are doing it, and it's not laughable, right?

00:31:33.660 They have extraordinary sums and ambition and imagination.

00:31:38.080 It's incredible.

00:31:40.460 I mean, it's terrifying, but you've got to admire the sheer ambition of it.

00:31:45.380 I saw recently Republican personalities, like people who I would follow on Twitter for a conservative voice, a Republican voice, that they are all gushing about Qatar, and they were all over there for some conference in Doha, which is really the only city there.

00:32:03.420 And I thought, U2?

00:32:05.880 They bought U2?

00:32:07.400 So maybe you can just give us one example.

00:32:09.220 And by the way, sorry, I don't think I mentioned this.

00:32:11.860 On our website tomorrow, the rebel.media, we will have a live stream of your conference.

00:32:17.040 So you guys are having some TV cameras there.

00:32:19.640 We're going to plug that right into the Rebel website, so whatever you guys broadcast, our viewers can watch it for free.

00:32:25.040 They don't have to go to Washington.

00:32:26.620 So hopefully people who are interested in this subject will tune in, at least for part of the day.

00:32:31.360 I find it incredible that these Republicans are just being colonized or patronized or I don't know what the word.

00:32:40.620 They're being recruited, and they're presenting Doha and Qatar as if it's some great futuristic friend.

00:32:47.700 Let me go a step further.

00:32:49.280 Not only conservatives in the United States, but pro-Israel conservatives and non-conservatives.

00:32:56.400 People like Alan Dershowitz, Morton Klein, Mike Huckabee have gone to Doha and in some cases received funding.

00:33:07.280 For example, the Zionist Organization of America received $100,000 and came back glowing.

00:33:13.700 Some wonderful things about it.

00:33:14.860 And more importantly, their words were used by the Qatari lobbyists to hinder a bill in the House of Representatives that would have fingered Qatar as a supporter of terrorism because it supports Hamas.

00:33:30.960 It's a bit complicated.

00:33:32.200 Yeah, well, I mean, that's right.

00:33:33.560 Hamas' leadership is in Qatar, right? 0.64

00:33:36.660 And I think I heard that the five Taliban that were released to get Bo Bergdahl, the deserter, back, I think they're in Qatar now, too.

00:33:46.840 I'm going from memory, so you correct me, Professor, if I'm wrong.

00:33:50.320 So far as I know it, right.

00:33:51.360 So far as I know it, right.

00:33:52.100 So they're literally the home for the five Taliban terrorists, for the Hamas terrorists. 0.87

00:33:58.320 We were talking earlier about hideouts for Maduro.

00:34:02.560 Qatar is a hideout for Hamas and the Taliban, and they've supported ISIS.

00:34:07.760 They're collecting all the bad guys, and you have even Jewish pro-Israel guys like Alan Dershowitz and Christian pro-Israel guys like Mike Huckabee saying these are the good guys? 0.50

00:34:18.380 They must have a big budget.

00:34:20.180 They've got a big budget.

00:34:21.200 It's estimated they spent a billion and a half dollars to try to get to the Trump administration.

00:34:27.740 You see, there's this confrontation between Qatar on the one hand, Saudis, Emiratis, and others on the other hand.

00:34:33.360 And in order to win the goodwill of the American administration, they spent a billion and a half, which is not exactly chump change, but certainly affordable in the Qatari budget.

00:34:43.080 And that's one of the topics we'll be looking at tomorrow.

00:34:45.160 Well, that's incredible.

00:34:45.860 I won't keep you any longer, Dr. Pipes.

00:34:47.460 I'm fascinated.

00:34:48.680 I'm afraid I can't be there in person at the conference, although I appreciate the invitation that I received from the Middle East Forum.

00:34:54.520 But I would say to all our viewers, if they are interested in going deep on this subject and hearing from trusted sources, that is you guys, to tune in tomorrow.

00:35:03.140 That starts, I understand, at 9 a.m. Eastern time, and we will have the live stream as provided to us by you guys at the Middle East Forum.

00:35:10.740 I just find this fascinating and terrifying.

00:35:15.500 In my book, Groundswell, The Case for Fracking, I show how Iran, Russia, and Qatar are the big three when it comes to natural gas. 0.99

00:35:23.500 And I don't know what God was thinking when he was handing out natural gas, but he gave it to all the world's bastards. 0.99

00:35:27.920 What a shame. 1.00

00:35:28.820 What a shame.

00:35:29.600 And that just reminds me how important it is to be energy independent.

00:35:33.140 I won't go on, Dr. Pipes, but this has been fascinating.

00:35:35.500 I really appreciate your time today.

00:35:37.440 It's there in New Brunswick.

00:35:38.480 You just got to pull it out.

00:35:39.660 Yeah, yeah.

00:35:40.860 All right.

00:35:41.520 Well, thanks very much, and good luck at the conference tomorrow.

00:35:44.120 Thank you.

00:35:44.740 Bye-bye.

00:35:45.120 All right.

00:35:45.440 There you have it, our friend Dr. Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum.

00:35:49.460 He's in Washington for their conference tomorrow.

00:35:51.740 Like I say, at 9 a.m. Eastern, you can follow that conference through a video feed that they will be connecting to our website.

00:35:59.000 Stay with us.

00:35:59.600 More ahead on The Rebel.

00:36:09.660 Hey, welcome back to my monologue yesterday about Donald Trump banning Canadian goods and services from U.S. government contracts.

00:36:16.800 Teresa writes, I am very surprised that I'm just hearing about this.

00:36:20.880 Well, Teresa, I should tell you, I am very surprised, too.

00:36:23.440 In fact, I didn't even want to believe it.

00:36:25.480 When a friend told me this, I said, come on.

00:36:28.340 Come on.

00:36:29.000 What are you talking about?

00:36:29.840 I mean, normally how I work here is I see some news, and it gets me going, and I tell you what I think about the news.

00:36:38.400 But in this case, I had to break the news before I could tell you what I think about it, because no one was breaking the news.

00:36:45.460 How do you not do that?

00:36:48.080 Donald Trump is the most newsy person on our little planet.

00:36:52.960 He has the biggest megaphone in the world.

00:36:56.140 He has more reporters focused on his every word than anyone else in the world.

00:37:01.900 Canadian media are obsessed with him, especially the left, especially the CBC.

00:37:07.800 And when he actually talks about us, and he didn't use Canada by name yesterday, or on Thursday when he brought in this,

00:37:13.400 but who do you think is going to be affected banning Steele?

00:37:17.080 They even, Trump actually talked about pipelines.

00:37:20.380 Whose pipelines is he talking about?

00:37:21.980 I simply do not believe that every single journalist, editor, producer, anyone in every single Canadian media simply missed it.

00:37:31.840 I don't believe that. I'm sorry, I don't believe that.

00:37:35.440 Danette writes,

00:37:36.220 This is the type of action Trump promised with Make America Great Again.

00:37:41.100 It shouldn't come as a surprise that Trump managed to keep a promise.

00:37:44.100 The fact that the Canadian mainstream media is silent indicates they haven't grasped the seriousness,

00:37:48.060 or they purposely don't want to raise the specter that this is somehow Trudeau's fault.

00:37:53.860 Yeah, you know that, I showed you that cover of McLean's magazine with Chrystia Freeland looking like a go girl, you go. 0.95

00:38:01.740 Oh, oh, Chrystia Freeland, slam dunk, you put Trump in his place, smash, girl power. 1.00

00:38:09.740 Yeah, you can't really make that claim if months after NAFTA was renegotiated, it's sort of been undone.

00:38:19.900 I mean, if you just banned Canadian companies from all those things I listed, pretty much anything made in a factory,

00:38:29.720 how can you claim that you were successful in out-negotiating Trump?

00:38:33.580 And look, I'm not saying that this could have been stopped.

00:38:36.480 As I showed you yesterday, Barack Obama did it to Canada when Stephen Harper was prime minister.

00:38:42.180 Fine, you can't control what a president does, but you can respond to it.

00:38:46.860 And Harper was all over it, and he was strategic, and sometimes he was tough, and he was smart,

00:38:52.620 and Harper took the stinger out. 1.00

00:38:55.200 I don't think Justin Trudeau even knows it's happening, or if he does, he's hiding under his desk.

00:39:02.240 Robert writes, the Trump administration called Junior that little punk kid running Canada.

00:39:07.940 Do you think anyone is going to pick up the phone when Trudeau calls?

00:39:10.280 I don't know if they actually called him that, or I don't know if you're paraphrasing or if you're quoting.

00:39:17.600 I actually think that Donald Trump doesn't think that much about Canada.

00:39:23.140 I mean, we obviously think about Canada, and we're like, is he talking about us?

00:39:27.080 It's like we're a kid in high school.

00:39:31.020 Is he watching me now?

00:39:33.020 Does my hair look pretty?

00:39:33.960 Like, we think about us a lot, but, I mean, there's still weather maps in the United States on TV news

00:39:41.420 that make America look like an island, makes it look like there's an ocean on top.

00:39:44.960 Like, I don't think they think about Canada at all.

00:39:47.560 And if you think about the big deals that Donald Trump thinks about,

00:39:52.540 well, I'd put China right at the top.

00:39:54.400 I'd put North Korea in there. 0.99

00:39:55.920 I'd put Mexico in there. 0.80

00:39:57.560 Right now, I'd add Venezuela in there.

00:40:00.060 I'd probably put Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Middle East in there.

00:40:03.360 I'd put Iran in there. 0.99

00:40:04.520 Do you see my point?

00:40:05.480 I've listed almost 10 countries now, and each of those has a more critical crisis than Canada.

00:40:13.280 So I don't think Donald Trump thinks about Justin Trudeau.

00:40:18.540 I don't think he obsesses about Justin Trudeau.

00:40:22.400 So I actually think this was just, A, an oversight.

00:40:26.600 And for those who actually drafted it and know what's going to happen, they don't care.

00:40:31.220 Because they don't really like Chrystia Freeland.

00:40:33.660 That was made clear by the American side.

00:40:36.800 Oh, well, I just wish we had a Canadian version of Trump.

00:40:40.580 And by that, I don't mean someone with the braggadocio and the nicknames and the name calling.

00:40:45.240 I'm not talking about that.

00:40:46.040 I'm talking someone who would put Canada first and who, if they're negotiating with our biggest trading partner,

00:40:52.720 wouldn't focus on male feminism or global warmingism or whatever and would protect our jobs. 0.99

00:40:59.140 I predict that we're going to have the Canadian jobs report for the month of January out this week.

00:41:04.480 That's irrelevant here.

00:41:05.860 I predict that the February jobs numbers, which we'll get in early March, I predict that they will be bad news.

00:41:12.220 I hope I'm wrong, but how could I be with this trade order?

00:41:16.420 Folks, that's the show for today.

00:41:18.460 I want to tell you, I did a little investigative journalism-ing over the past few days.

00:41:24.020 And I recommend you go to our YouTube page or our website.

00:41:29.000 It's just a little story I just mentioned in passing before I say goodbye.

00:41:32.920 Rachel Notley promised $440 million in loan guarantees to an oil sands upgrader.

00:41:39.500 That sounds pretty good.

00:41:40.200 The company's called Value Creation.

00:41:42.240 I hadn't heard of that before, and I like to follow the oil patch, and I wrote that book called Ethical Oil.

00:41:46.540 So I thought Value Creation, I haven't heard of that company.

00:41:49.100 Dr. Columba Young is their president.

00:41:51.380 I hadn't really heard of that guy before.

00:41:53.480 Now, I'm in Toronto now.

00:41:55.340 I'm not in the heart of the oil patch.

00:41:56.860 But I thought, I just haven't heard of this company.

00:41:59.020 And they're going to put in $2 billion, and Rachel Notley's given $440 million, and construction's already underway.

00:42:04.180 I just thought, I'd never heard of this.

00:42:06.420 And I called some friends in Calgary, and they said, they'd never heard of this.

00:42:09.400 So I started poking around, and you know what?

00:42:11.960 You know what?

00:42:12.600 You've got to see my report.

00:42:14.200 It's a 10-minute video.

00:42:16.540 That company has no operations in Alberta.

00:42:19.620 They haven't put a shovel in the ground in 10 years.

00:42:21.740 They're a dormant company.

00:42:22.820 They have no plans for employment at all, despite what Rachel Notley said.

00:42:26.500 And here's the crazy part, the scary part.

00:42:28.920 Rachel Notley just offered them $440 million in loan guarantees.

00:42:32.040 10 years ago, they defaulted on a $507 million bank loan.

00:42:38.480 Okay, I just told you a two-minute summary of the story.

00:42:40.680 I tell you, you've got to go find the video on the rest of our page and watch it.

00:42:44.740 So it's a little investigative sleuthing I did.

00:42:47.560 All right, I'll let you go.

00:42:48.800 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,

00:42:52.020 good night, and keep fighting for freedom.

00:42:53.680 We'll see you next time.
