Rebel News Podcast - Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster tries to bully a grassroots Alberta news website

00:00:00.000 I got a story for you guys today.

00:00:01.840 The CBC's legal department is threatening

00:00:03.680 a small conservative website.

00:00:05.980 What do you think of that?

00:00:06.900 I'll give you the details next.

00:00:08.340 Hey, before I do, can I invite you to become

00:00:09.940 a Rebel News Plus subscriber?

00:00:12.280 It's eight bucks a month.

00:00:13.100 You get the video version of this show,

00:00:15.120 and that helps us pay our bills.

00:00:17.680 It's actually only $80 if you buy the whole year in advance.

00:00:20.620 Okay, here's today's podcast.

00:00:26.960 You're listening to a Rebel News podcast.

00:00:30.000 Tonight, Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster

00:00:40.160 tries to bully a grassroots Alberta news website.

00:00:44.160 It's October 23rd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:48.400 Why should others go to jail

00:00:50.020 when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:52.220 There's 8,500 customers here,

00:00:54.520 and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:55.860 The only thing I have to say to the government

00:00:58.220 is the wire publisher.

00:01:00.000 It's because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:07.040 You know the Western Standard, right?

00:01:09.700 It's the name of the magazine I founded

00:01:11.340 almost 20 years ago now.

00:01:13.060 We shut down the paper version of the magazine in 2007,

00:01:16.880 and we sold the website and some other remaining assets

00:01:19.720 to one of our founding managers,

00:01:21.920 and it has been reborn as a news website

00:01:24.400 just in the last year or so to take a Wexit,

00:01:27.240 or pro-Western point of view,

00:01:29.220 on news and opinion.

00:01:30.800 Derek Fildebrandt is probably the most prominent name

00:01:33.320 affiliated with it.

00:01:34.620 He's the former taxpayer advocate at Alberta MLA.

00:01:37.740 Anyways, I haven't been affiliated with the brand in over a decade,

00:01:41.240 but I like them, and I read them from time to time,

00:01:43.800 and I broadly support their mission.

00:01:45.380 I mean, look, they're independent media like us.

00:01:48.340 There's not a lot of us who can refuse the Trudeau cash,

00:01:51.240 so I salute them.

00:01:52.080 I automatically know they're one of the good guys,

00:01:54.640 just like the True North and Spencer Fernando

00:01:58.000 and Black Locks in Ottawa.

00:02:00.160 There's only a handful of independent media left.

00:02:02.700 They're a David in a battle against 100 Goliaths. 0.77

00:02:06.580 I like this little tweet they made poking at the CBC.

00:02:10.800 That's my hobby.

00:02:12.580 They said, sick of fake news?

00:02:15.060 Follow us instead.

00:02:17.180 And real news, a truly free press for the West.

00:02:20.480 All right, good for them.

00:02:21.340 I like that.

00:02:21.920 I agree with that.

00:02:23.040 I mean, the CBC hates a lot of things.

00:02:24.840 They hate Donald Trump.

00:02:26.300 They hate free speech.

00:02:27.400 They hate pandemic skeptics.

00:02:29.220 They hate Christians. 0.99

00:02:30.600 They hate oil and gas.

00:02:31.700 They hate the Conservative Party.

00:02:32.700 But what they probably hate more than anything else

00:02:36.240 is simply Western Canada, Alberta,

00:02:39.440 and especially anyone who is full of Western pride.

00:02:42.280 I mean, look, they're Trudeau state broadcasters,

00:02:44.240 so of course they hate the West,

00:02:45.980 and they would hate the Western Standard.

00:02:48.000 So I was shocked but not surprised

00:02:49.800 when I saw this letter that the Western Standard

00:02:53.560 made public, a threat letter from the CBC's lawyers.

00:02:57.400 I'm serious.

00:02:59.420 Let me read some of it to you.

00:03:00.860 Actually, I'll read the whole thing.

00:03:02.400 October 22nd, 2020.

00:03:04.200 Delivered via email.

00:03:05.680 To whom it may concern.

00:03:06.800 Re.

00:03:07.480 Trademark infringement of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

00:03:09.780 GEM logo.

00:03:12.680 We are writing from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,

00:03:15.260 Canada's national public broadcaster.

00:03:17.560 CBC is the owner of a family of CBC GEM marks,

00:03:21.480 including official marks and trademarks,

00:03:23.340 both in Canada and the U.S.

00:03:24.920 CBC is the owner of the following official mark in Canada,

00:03:28.500 and then an image.

00:03:30.780 The CBC GEM is not only an iconic logo,

00:03:33.460 but CBC has been recognized

00:03:34.820 as one of the most influential brands in Canada.

00:03:37.760 In addition to being an iconic trademark in Canada,

00:03:39.820 it is protectable under both the U.S.

00:03:41.560 and Canadian trademark law.

00:03:42.940 Okay, so that's true enough.

00:03:45.340 I mean, if you extract $100 billion from Canadians

00:03:49.100 over the course of 75 years

00:03:50.700 and pump it into a propaganda machine

00:03:53.520 and force yourselves into radio and everyone's TV

00:03:56.540 and now push yourselves online,

00:03:58.060 yeah, sure, you're going to be a recognized brand.

00:04:01.420 That only costs $100 billion.

00:04:03.900 That's different than from being a beloved brand, by the way.

00:04:08.120 Canadians are overwhelmingly bored

00:04:10.100 and uninterested in the CBC.

00:04:12.860 Here's the Globe and Mail on that.

00:04:15.720 The CBC's latest annual report

00:04:17.440 tells a tale of dwindling viewership.

00:04:20.100 English language TV had a primetime audience share

00:04:22.320 in the last fiscal year of just 5%,

00:04:25.360 an all-time low,

00:04:27.700 down from 9.3% in 2010,

00:04:30.340 and deteriorating finances.

00:04:33.320 Revenues outside of its parliamentary grant

00:04:35.040 now cover just 28% of expenses,

00:04:37.780 but the real measure is qualitative.

00:04:39.580 Yeah, it's terrible.

00:04:40.280 So that's the good news for the CBC.

00:04:42.880 One in 20 people watch it.

00:04:44.400 Woo! 0.99

00:04:45.040 The bad news is that so many of the rest of us

00:04:47.160 just hate them because, well,

00:04:49.380 the feeling's mutual.

00:04:50.340 If someone hates you,

00:04:51.080 you're probably going to feel the same about them.

00:04:53.280 The CBC just hates so many things

00:04:55.960 about Canada and Canadians,

00:04:57.940 and they want to change us

00:04:59.040 to remake us into Justin Trudeau's image.

00:05:01.300 No, thanks.

00:05:01.940 That would be pretty weird to like that.

00:05:03.560 But still, I will concede

00:05:05.340 that the CBC gem,

00:05:07.040 as they laughably call that 70s-looking bubble,

00:05:10.440 I will concede that people know

00:05:12.140 that stands for the state broadcaster.

00:05:14.520 Sure it does.

00:05:16.300 Just like everyone knows

00:05:17.740 that the hammer and sickle

00:05:19.000 is the communist trademark.

00:05:21.940 Communists don't believe in trademarks.

00:05:23.160 It's the communist symbol.

00:05:24.200 It doesn't mean people like it.

00:05:26.160 But let me read some more from the letter.

00:05:27.340 It has come to CBC's attention

00:05:30.320 that you are unlawfully using

00:05:32.340 the CBC gem logo

00:05:33.740 on your Twitter account.

00:05:36.100 A screenshot of your Twitter page

00:05:37.800 showing your flagrant use of this trademark

00:05:40.140 is attached here to its exhibit A.

00:05:42.100 Now, exhibit A is simply a screenshot

00:05:43.480 of the tweet I read to you before.

00:05:45.640 Now, let me stop right here.

00:05:46.660 You are allowed

00:05:47.700 to use the CBC logo.

00:05:50.560 I don't know if you know that.

00:05:52.320 You're allowed to use a Coca-Cola logo

00:05:54.360 or a Starbucks logo.

00:05:55.620 You're allowed to.

00:05:56.500 It's a free country.

00:05:57.460 Now, you're not allowed

00:05:58.060 to pass yourself off

00:05:59.640 as Starbucks or Coca-Cola

00:06:02.100 or the CBC.

00:06:03.100 But you want to talk about them.

00:06:04.740 You want to comment on them.

00:06:05.840 You want to refer to them.

00:06:07.180 You want to do a news story on them.

00:06:08.600 Yeah, fill your boots.

00:06:09.880 I mean, just to show you the obvious,

00:06:12.200 I just typed in the first CBC story

00:06:14.560 that shows Starbucks images.

00:06:15.960 You know, here's one

00:06:17.740 showing this Coca-Cola logo.

00:06:21.080 It's sort of obvious.

00:06:22.220 I don't even need to tell you this,

00:06:23.420 but I'm making the point.

00:06:24.920 You don't need anyone's permission

00:06:26.320 to talk about a company

00:06:27.580 or to use a logo or a brand

00:06:30.280 if you're describing the company.

00:06:31.740 It is not, in fact, illegal

00:06:33.580 for the Western standard

00:06:34.960 to flagrantly use the CBC's logo.

00:06:37.740 They are lying to you,

00:06:39.100 as the CBC often does.

00:06:40.260 It is, in fact, illegal

00:06:43.740 to use the CBC logo

00:06:45.460 or anyone else's trademark

00:06:47.140 to pass yourself off as them

00:06:49.860 to try to trick people

00:06:51.680 to try to falsely profit

00:06:53.360 from showing the CBC's trademark.

00:06:55.420 So you can talk about Starbucks

00:06:57.780 all you like.

00:06:59.200 You just can't trick people

00:07:00.820 and pretend that you are Starbucks

00:07:02.480 to make money off of Starbucks.

00:07:04.580 Well, that's the one thing

00:07:05.400 you're not allowed to do.

00:07:06.380 So even Pepsi

00:07:07.640 is allowed to use Coke's logo.

00:07:11.180 In fact, if you're my age

00:07:12.540 or older,

00:07:13.500 you might remember something

00:07:14.580 Pepsi used to do a lot

00:07:15.840 in the 80s

00:07:16.580 called the Pepsi Challenge.

00:07:18.360 I don't know if you remember that,

00:07:20.400 but here's an excerpt

00:07:22.060 from a TV ad.

00:07:22.760 These ads were everywhere.

00:07:24.540 This is the taste.

00:07:26.300 This is the test.

00:07:28.000 Pepsi versus Coke.

00:07:29.420 The Pepsi Challenge.

00:07:30.380 And all across America,

00:07:32.240 more people pick Pepsi

00:07:33.500 time after time after time.

00:07:36.020 Pepsi Cola.

00:07:36.600 Oh, what a time.

00:07:37.820 So is that illegal?

00:07:39.180 Pepsi was showing you Coke bottles,

00:07:42.960 showing you Coke's brand,

00:07:44.520 showing you Coke's trademark,

00:07:46.600 using it to make money,

00:07:47.960 really rubbing it in Coke's face,

00:07:49.780 but it was completely legal

00:07:52.700 because you're allowed

00:07:53.820 to talk about things,

00:07:55.320 you're allowed to talk

00:07:56.100 about your competitors,

00:07:57.420 even to criticize them.

00:07:58.860 You're just not allowed

00:07:59.680 to trick people

00:08:00.560 into thinking you are them.

00:08:01.880 So Pepsi couldn't use Coke's logo

00:08:04.540 to trick people into buying Pepsi

00:08:06.600 by making them think

00:08:07.420 it was really Coke.

00:08:08.520 That would be stealing

00:08:09.660 their goodwill,

00:08:10.700 which is kind of

00:08:11.380 intellectual property.

00:08:12.400 But as you could see,

00:08:13.480 that's the opposite

00:08:14.320 of the use that Pepsi did

00:08:16.300 in the 80s.

00:08:17.340 Pepsi was showing

00:08:18.140 it was not Coke.

00:08:19.660 And that's exactly

00:08:20.660 what the new Western Standard

00:08:21.880 is doing to CBC today.

00:08:23.360 Western Standard

00:08:24.000 isn't trying to trick people

00:08:25.320 into subscribing to it

00:08:26.720 or reading it

00:08:27.480 by fooling them

00:08:28.420 that they're thinking

00:08:29.300 they're getting CBC content.

00:08:31.040 They're doing the opposite.

00:08:32.340 They're promising

00:08:33.180 to be the anti-CBC.

00:08:35.280 They're contrasting themselves

00:08:36.960 with the crap, 0.53

00:08:38.160 the fake news of the CBC.

00:08:39.660 They're pointing out

00:08:40.400 that they are different.

00:08:41.200 It's like the Pepsi challenge,

00:08:42.540 but amongst media.

00:08:44.780 Let me read just a little bit more

00:08:45.880 from the liars

00:08:46.600 at Trudeau's CBC State Broadcaster.

00:08:48.640 The use of the CBC gem logo

00:08:50.780 on your website

00:08:51.880 has not been authorized by CBC

00:08:54.000 and such use constitutes

00:08:55.540 a prohibited form

00:08:56.580 of copyright infringement,

00:08:57.520 trademark infringement

00:08:58.660 and passing off

00:08:59.800 CBC's intellectual property rights.

00:09:01.600 It is also depreciating

00:09:02.800 the goodwill of our trademark.

00:09:04.420 Yeah, no.

00:09:05.860 Do you think the Western Standard

00:09:07.020 is passing themselves off

00:09:08.340 as the CBC, really?

00:09:10.140 I don't think the CBC's lawyers

00:09:11.900 are that stupid. 0.93

00:09:13.980 I think they just think

00:09:15.420 you're that stupid. 0.98

00:09:17.620 And as to depreciating

00:09:18.920 the goodwill of the trademark,

00:09:20.360 well, no.

00:09:21.580 I think the CBC's

00:09:22.840 lying propagandist reporters

00:09:24.480 running errands

00:09:25.200 for the worst prime minister

00:09:26.340 in a generation,

00:09:27.020 I think the CBC's reporters

00:09:28.740 have taken care of reducing

00:09:30.260 their reputation themselves.

00:09:32.460 As the Globe and Mail points out,

00:09:33.980 their viewership

00:09:34.540 has fallen in half.

00:09:35.660 No one believes them anymore.

00:09:38.180 I'll just read

00:09:38.720 the rest of the letter.

00:09:40.160 In the circumstances,

00:09:42.020 we ask that you remove

00:09:43.240 and cease using

00:09:44.400 any and all CBC trademarks

00:09:45.860 and copyright immediately

00:09:47.780 and remove them

00:09:48.640 from the above-known

00:09:49.240 Twitter page

00:09:49.880 and any and all other sources

00:09:53.280 where you may have used

00:09:53.980 the CBC trademark

00:09:54.680 and copyright.

00:09:55.120 We look forward

00:09:56.680 to receiving confirmation

00:09:57.440 that you have complied

00:09:58.440 with our request.

00:09:59.060 Yours truly,

00:10:00.000 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

00:10:01.160 Law Department.

00:10:03.340 I love how the letter

00:10:04.480 isn't even signed

00:10:05.440 by a person.

00:10:07.020 I mean,

00:10:07.460 I don't blame them.

00:10:08.500 Would you sign that letter?

00:10:10.200 I'd be embarrassed

00:10:10.880 to sign it too.

00:10:12.220 Such a false,

00:10:13.160 abusive threat letter.

00:10:14.500 No one wants to sign that.

00:10:17.000 Or is it even

00:10:17.700 a threat letter though?

00:10:19.080 There's not an or else.

00:10:20.400 I mean,

00:10:20.640 typically a threat

00:10:21.300 is do this or else.

00:10:22.140 There was no or else here.

00:10:23.440 I think it was just

00:10:23.940 an attempt to intimidate

00:10:25.060 a small independent

00:10:26.120 grassroots competitor.

00:10:26.980 There was actually

00:10:27.380 no or else in the letter.

00:10:28.940 I think it's because

00:10:29.600 whoever lacked the courage

00:10:30.720 to sign this letter

00:10:31.500 had the wits to know

00:10:32.940 that no court in the country

00:10:33.980 would uphold that letter.

00:10:35.100 It's just BS.

00:10:36.660 Now,

00:10:36.880 who knows?

00:10:37.320 Maybe they plan on

00:10:38.140 lobbying Twitter directly

00:10:40.020 to try to get Twitter

00:10:41.800 to delete and ban

00:10:43.120 the Western standard.

00:10:44.320 That would not shock me.

00:10:46.720 I mean,

00:10:46.900 Twitter has suspended

00:10:47.620 the Twitter account

00:10:48.300 of the New York Post,

00:10:49.480 a 200-year-old newspaper,

00:10:51.000 one of the mightiest

00:10:51.940 newspapers in America.

00:10:54.120 Founded by no one

00:10:54.940 less than Alexander Hamilton.

00:10:56.920 Twitter just nuked them

00:10:57.760 because a week ago

00:10:58.560 they broke the news

00:11:00.060 of Joe Biden's son,

00:11:01.080 Hunter Biden,

00:11:01.920 taking huge payments

00:11:02.720 from China,

00:11:04.800 Russia,

00:11:05.560 Ukraine,

00:11:06.040 and that embarrassed Twitter,

00:11:07.220 which is a woke

00:11:07.840 pro-democrat company.

00:11:09.040 So maybe CBC will just

00:11:11.180 call Twitter's

00:11:12.740 head office next.

00:11:14.360 And if the Western standard

00:11:15.540 doesn't delete it voluntarily,

00:11:16.860 and if those

00:11:17.500 CBC cowards,

00:11:19.140 the cry bullies over there, 0.75

00:11:20.220 they know it's a junk

00:11:21.720 legal case

00:11:22.460 and there's no law

00:11:23.100 to support it.

00:11:23.780 So, I mean,

00:11:24.960 can the Western standard,

00:11:25.700 I say again,

00:11:26.180 is not passing themselves

00:11:27.260 off in the CBC?

00:11:28.520 Why would you do that?

00:11:29.900 Hey,

00:11:30.520 why don't we call ourselves

00:11:31.380 the Ebola virus

00:11:32.380 that's even more popular

00:11:33.420 in Alberta?

00:11:34.120 No one would willingly

00:11:35.000 pretend to be

00:11:35.640 Trudeau's errand boys.

00:11:37.900 But if they can't

00:11:38.940 convince the Western standard

00:11:39.820 to take the tweet down,

00:11:40.920 maybe they can convince

00:11:41.760 Twitter to censor them

00:11:42.720 if they,

00:11:43.620 you know,

00:11:44.120 won't try to convince

00:11:44.900 a judge to do so.

00:11:46.880 Now,

00:11:47.320 here's Derek Philibrand

00:11:48.200 telling the CBC

00:11:49.760 legal department

00:11:50.440 to buzz off

00:11:51.180 and doubling down on it.

00:11:52.620 He says in other tweets

00:11:53.560 that he has retained

00:11:54.260 a lawyer

00:11:54.660 and is ready to fight.

00:11:55.880 I actually don't think

00:11:56.560 the legal fight will come.

00:11:58.220 I think the CBC

00:11:58.800 was just counting on

00:11:59.580 intimidating and bullying

00:12:00.760 them into submission.

00:12:02.320 And given that

00:12:03.060 that didn't work,

00:12:03.600 I think they might

00:12:04.280 quietly slink away.

00:12:07.440 But who else

00:12:08.300 has CBC quietly,

00:12:09.800 secretly threatened

00:12:10.720 who isn't as brave

00:12:12.580 as the Western standard,

00:12:13.600 who doesn't have

00:12:14.260 access to a lawyer

00:12:15.560 who has perhaps

00:12:17.100 quietly succumbed?

00:12:18.240 How many times

00:12:19.100 has the CBC done this?

00:12:21.680 The CBC is just like

00:12:22.680 Justin Trudeau,

00:12:23.440 aren't they?

00:12:24.080 I mean, in fact,

00:12:24.660 they're allies

00:12:25.200 in legal smears,

00:12:26.380 you'll recall.

00:12:27.240 They're right in the middle

00:12:27.740 of the last election.

00:12:28.580 The CBC launched a lawsuit

00:12:29.780 against the Conservative Party

00:12:31.580 on similar grounds.

00:12:32.780 The Conservatives

00:12:33.320 had made a short TV ad

00:12:34.840 and they used a short clip

00:12:35.840 from a CBC interview.

00:12:37.840 And that's perfectly legal.

00:12:39.700 In law,

00:12:40.140 it's called fair use

00:12:41.100 or fair dealing.

00:12:42.360 It's the same way 0.70

00:12:42.820 a movie reviewer

00:12:43.720 can show a very quick clip

00:12:45.000 from a movie

00:12:45.600 or a book reviewer

00:12:47.220 can quote a very short

00:12:48.220 excerpt from a book

00:12:49.220 and that's not considered

00:12:50.360 stealing.

00:12:50.960 It's fair use.

00:12:51.620 It's a small amount.

00:12:52.660 You're commenting

00:12:53.240 and criticizing on it.

00:12:54.340 You're adding

00:12:54.620 your own work to it.

00:12:55.760 Same thing for the CBC

00:12:58.020 itself.

00:12:58.540 Every night, of course,

00:12:59.400 I mean,

00:12:59.560 so much of the CBC's

00:13:00.840 own newscasts every night

00:13:02.180 have quick clips

00:13:03.440 of other content.

00:13:05.740 The CBC knows

00:13:06.380 it's not illegal

00:13:07.140 to have short clips.

00:13:08.520 Their evening newscasts

00:13:09.780 would be half as long

00:13:10.560 if they didn't use

00:13:11.760 such found content.

00:13:12.940 Just put a credit on it

00:13:14.060 and add your own work to it

00:13:15.300 and use a short amount.

00:13:16.120 Again,

00:13:16.980 it's just a political errand

00:13:18.380 they're running

00:13:18.840 against Trudeau's enemies.

00:13:20.000 They'll sue

00:13:20.520 the conservative party.

00:13:21.740 Now they're threatening

00:13:22.760 the Western standard.

00:13:24.280 I guess the only thing

00:13:25.640 I'd add is that

00:13:26.740 I don't know,

00:13:28.740 I'm feeling sort of lonely.

00:13:31.120 Usually when the CBC

00:13:32.440 attacks a Trudeau enemy,

00:13:34.460 it's us.

00:13:35.920 Stay with us for more.

00:13:40.560 My wife has my phone. 0.98

00:13:53.040 We are now

00:13:53.800 in a full-blown

00:13:55.240 national security crisis.

00:13:57.300 Your wife just left me 1.00

00:13:58.340 a voicemail.

00:13:59.380 She thinks we're having

00:14:00.100 an affair.

00:14:03.620 Michael Flynn investigation

00:14:04.960 still open,

00:14:06.300 whoopsie face.

00:14:07.060 President Obama

00:14:10.400 wants to know

00:14:11.360 everything we're doing.

00:14:13.420 What is our goal?

00:14:14.680 Get him to lie

00:14:15.380 so we can prosecute him

00:14:16.540 or get him fired.

00:14:17.820 If your utter incompetence

00:14:19.500 is not enough

00:14:20.060 to run you out of office,

00:14:21.740 then your increasingly

00:14:23.060 obvious political corruption

00:14:25.060 surely will.

00:14:27.480 Tweet!

00:14:28.680 I said we were close friends,

00:14:30.620 nothing more.

00:14:31.300 She knows I sent you flowers.

00:14:33.680 Weasels and liars.

00:14:35.420 God, Trump is a loathsome human.

00:14:38.780 Tweet!

00:14:40.260 106.6 thousand likes.

00:14:45.580 Hillary should win 1.00

00:14:47.100 100 million to zero.

00:14:51.760 Did you get laid yesterday?

00:14:54.340 You know how to get my attention.

00:14:57.820 I truly hate these people.

00:14:59.980 Trump's not ever going

00:15:04.040 to become president, right?

00:15:06.700 Right?

00:15:08.040 No.

00:15:09.920 No, he's not.

00:15:12.500 We'll stop it.

00:15:14.320 Unbelievable.

00:15:15.440 You would think

00:15:16.480 that that script

00:15:17.400 was written

00:15:18.120 by a Hollywood screenwriter

00:15:20.360 for dramatic effect,

00:15:21.560 but if you thought so,

00:15:22.400 you would be thinking wrong

00:15:23.580 because every word said

00:15:25.860 in that trailer

00:15:26.920 and the entire

00:15:28.500 Obamagate movie

00:15:29.920 was said

00:15:31.440 by the actual people

00:15:33.220 in the film.

00:15:35.440 James Comey,

00:15:36.900 Peter Strzok,

00:15:38.020 and the FBI agents,

00:15:39.820 CIA,

00:15:40.640 everyone involved.

00:15:42.160 The entire movie

00:15:43.460 is taken

00:15:44.160 from their texts

00:15:46.160 and emails

00:15:47.220 and other internal documents.

00:15:49.000 It's called

00:15:49.400 Verbatim Theater

00:15:51.120 and it's one of the

00:15:51.980 favorite ways

00:15:52.800 to tell stories

00:15:53.920 by our next guest.

00:15:55.620 You know who I mean.

00:15:56.480 He's our favorite filmmaker,

00:15:58.480 Phelan McAleer,

00:15:59.340 who joins us now

00:16:00.060 via Skype

00:16:00.560 from Los Angeles.

00:16:02.200 Very exciting.

00:16:03.960 Congratulations.

00:16:04.700 We had you on

00:16:05.380 a few weeks ago

00:16:06.080 to talk about

00:16:07.240 your plans

00:16:07.800 to make this movie.

00:16:09.300 Well, wham, bam,

00:16:10.340 you made it

00:16:10.980 and it's already live

00:16:12.120 and people can actually

00:16:13.380 see it for free

00:16:14.280 on YouTube.

00:16:15.400 Congratulations.

00:16:17.020 Thanks, Ezra.

00:16:17.640 Thanks.

00:16:18.080 A lot of your viewers,

00:16:20.000 by the way,

00:16:20.480 were very helpful,

00:16:21.760 helped with the crowdfunding.

00:16:23.600 We saw a huge surge

00:16:25.620 in donations from Canada

00:16:27.040 after you kindly

00:16:28.440 donated yourself.

00:16:30.100 I mean, people,

00:16:30.780 there's a worldwide

00:16:31.820 thirst for the truth

00:16:32.980 and people recognize

00:16:34.300 now the media

00:16:35.500 are not telling the truth

00:16:37.200 and are actively

00:16:38.260 dissembling

00:16:39.440 and telling untruths.

00:16:41.180 So, let's,

00:16:42.260 you know,

00:16:42.880 we conservatives

00:16:43.760 are held

00:16:44.260 at a higher standard.

00:16:46.300 Truth tellers

00:16:46.820 are held

00:16:47.120 at a higher standard.

00:16:47.860 So that's why

00:16:48.320 Verbatim is so useful.

00:16:49.400 Every word you see here

00:16:51.120 in this film

00:16:52.300 in Obama-gate

00:16:53.520 is 100% verbatim.

00:16:56.040 It was uttered

00:16:56.740 or written

00:16:57.260 by one of the people

00:16:58.720 in the film.

00:17:00.960 Now,

00:17:01.820 last time we spoke

00:17:02.940 it was when

00:17:03.740 HBO

00:17:04.780 was rolling out

00:17:06.400 a massive

00:17:07.360 high-budget

00:17:08.720 propaganda film

00:17:09.920 called

00:17:10.320 The Comey Rule.

00:17:11.820 and I've just

00:17:12.480 never seen anything

00:17:13.520 so transparently

00:17:15.200 partisan

00:17:16.480 election

00:17:17.780 meddling

00:17:19.180 documentary.

00:17:20.920 Well, that's the thing.

00:17:21.920 It claims to be

00:17:22.740 a documentary

00:17:23.260 but unlike your work

00:17:24.460 it's not taken

00:17:25.700 from primary sources.

00:17:27.240 That is the work

00:17:28.160 of fiction writers

00:17:29.600 trying to

00:17:30.900 salvage

00:17:32.480 their discredited

00:17:33.980 efforts.

00:17:34.980 So,

00:17:35.300 what a difference.

00:17:36.100 You've got

00:17:36.420 the Verbatim Theater.

00:17:38.080 They had a

00:17:38.820 multi-million dollar

00:17:39.880 propaganda campaign.

00:17:40.880 How did HBO's movie

00:17:42.840 The Comey Rule

00:17:43.920 wind up doing?

00:17:45.700 Well,

00:17:46.120 first night

00:17:46.700 it got 675,000

00:17:48.940 viewers.

00:17:50.120 For the first night

00:17:51.320 that's how much

00:17:52.080 it's got.

00:17:53.240 We are now

00:17:54.960 open

00:17:55.480 24 hours.

00:17:56.400 We have

00:17:56.860 almost 200,000

00:17:58.460 viewers

00:17:58.880 and it's rising

00:17:59.860 every hour

00:18:00.840 every day.

00:18:01.920 So,

00:18:02.400 we need to get

00:18:03.160 I want to beat

00:18:04.620 The Comey Rule.

00:18:05.620 I want to get

00:18:06.140 more than 675,000

00:18:08.320 viewers.

00:18:09.000 It's tough.

00:18:09.600 It's not easy

00:18:10.120 especially with YouTube

00:18:11.000 throttling anything

00:18:12.300 decent.

00:18:13.200 But,

00:18:13.500 you know,

00:18:14.000 we seem to have

00:18:14.820 beat them so far.

00:18:15.800 So,

00:18:16.340 let's keep it going.

00:18:17.400 But one thing

00:18:17.760 I do want to say

00:18:18.980 about the Comey Rule,

00:18:20.120 you know,

00:18:20.720 actually it's not HBO,

00:18:22.520 it's Showtime,

00:18:23.180 but they're all the same.

00:18:24.000 Oh,

00:18:24.240 sorry about that.

00:18:24.800 I got that wrong.

00:18:25.440 So,

00:18:25.680 Showtime,

00:18:26.200 that's right.

00:18:27.320 It's understandable.

00:18:28.420 They're just one mass

00:18:29.600 leftist conglomeration now.

00:18:31.660 It is merging

00:18:32.300 with each other

00:18:32.880 and all that.

00:18:33.520 they knew that quote

00:18:36.680 at the end,

00:18:37.100 Trump's not going to win,

00:18:38.240 is he?

00:18:39.040 And it's,

00:18:39.880 we'll stop it,

00:18:41.060 right?

00:18:41.380 That is a direct quote

00:18:43.020 from their texts.

00:18:44.220 That is the conversation

00:18:45.180 they had

00:18:45.860 whilst he was

00:18:46.860 investigating Trump

00:18:47.860 for Russia collision.

00:18:50.100 So,

00:18:50.260 that's what he was planning.

00:18:51.960 In the HB,

00:18:52.820 sorry,

00:18:53.420 in the Showtime,

00:18:54.240 the Comey Rule,

00:18:55.440 they changed that

00:18:57.280 to a conversation

00:18:58.180 between the two of them.

00:18:59.280 Trump's not ever

00:18:59.880 going to win,

00:19:00.440 is he?

00:19:01.340 And,

00:19:01.640 Strzok turns to Page,

00:19:03.600 says,

00:19:03.820 no,

00:19:04.120 no,

00:19:04.320 he's not,

00:19:04.680 we'll stop it.

00:19:05.420 In the Comey Rule,

00:19:06.280 the then of Lisa Page

00:19:07.120 going,

00:19:07.560 oh,

00:19:07.820 we,

00:19:08.080 that's a bit much.

00:19:09.000 And he goes,

00:19:09.460 oh,

00:19:09.580 no,

00:19:09.720 no,

00:19:09.980 when I say we,

00:19:10.820 I mean the American people.

00:19:13.040 That is a complete fiction.

00:19:14.760 He never said that.

00:19:15.640 That was never part

00:19:16.660 of the conversation.

00:19:17.580 These people are liars.

00:19:19.120 We need to get the truth out there.

00:19:20.440 That's why we put

00:19:21.220 Obamagate on YouTube

00:19:22.840 verbatim.

00:19:24.120 Yeah.

00:19:24.480 Well,

00:19:24.760 that's incredible.

00:19:25.520 And we've embedded

00:19:26.500 a copy of your YouTube video

00:19:29.400 on our website,

00:19:30.340 so you will still get

00:19:31.400 the view count.

00:19:33.140 But people can find it,

00:19:34.720 I mean,

00:19:34.880 you can find it

00:19:35.300 in a lot of places.

00:19:36.300 You can find it elsewhere

00:19:37.360 on rebelnews.com.

00:19:38.780 Just out of curiosity,

00:19:40.000 it's not important,

00:19:41.120 but has YouTube allowed you

00:19:42.940 to put ads on it?

00:19:44.280 Because they often demonetize

00:19:46.640 or otherwise de-boost

00:19:50.200 or even shadow ban

00:19:52.940 conservative information

00:19:55.400 they don't like.

00:19:55.980 it's happened to us before.

00:19:57.520 Have you seen any shenanigans

00:19:59.160 by YouTube,

00:20:00.800 Twitter,

00:20:01.140 or other social media companies?

00:20:02.840 Oh, well,

00:20:03.240 I mean,

00:20:03.800 funny,

00:20:04.160 YouTube,

00:20:04.640 so far so good.

00:20:05.480 No,

00:20:05.920 nothing.

00:20:07.660 Instagram,

00:20:08.440 Instagram took down

00:20:09.560 our Facebook,

00:20:11.000 our Instagram account

00:20:11.980 a week ago

00:20:13.140 and have not put it up again.

00:20:15.320 Just took it down,

00:20:16.100 no reason,

00:20:16.720 no reason.

00:20:16.940 We've written to them,

00:20:17.820 oh yeah,

00:20:18.040 we're looking at it,

00:20:18.680 we should get it up.

00:20:19.560 Nothing.

00:20:20.300 Twitter are criminals.

00:20:23.100 Twitter have hidden

00:20:24.700 the word Obamagate.

00:20:26.740 The reason we call it

00:20:27.620 Obamagate,

00:20:28.160 because Obamagate

00:20:28.920 was trending in May

00:20:30.360 and April,

00:20:31.200 was 3.5 million tweets

00:20:33.000 with the word

00:20:33.560 Obamagate on it.

00:20:34.880 You go into Twitter now

00:20:35.860 and search for those

00:20:36.900 in most recent,

00:20:38.080 you get a couple of tweets

00:20:39.000 about our movie

00:20:39.540 and nothing else.

00:20:40.820 There are millions

00:20:41.560 of Obamagate tweets

00:20:42.620 out there

00:20:43.000 and they're throttling them.

00:20:45.180 The social media

00:20:46.000 behemoths,

00:20:47.940 they're not our friends.

00:20:49.920 They're not a platform.

00:20:51.900 They are fully signed up

00:20:53.420 political opponents

00:20:55.200 and they need to be

00:20:57.140 recognized as such

00:20:58.720 and we all need to

00:20:59.740 recognize that.

00:21:01.020 Yeah.

00:21:01.380 Well, I mean,

00:21:01.800 it's just incredible.

00:21:02.540 We talked earlier this week

00:21:03.480 with Alam Bokhari

00:21:04.900 of Breitbart.com

00:21:06.400 about how Twitter

00:21:07.220 has just completely cut off

00:21:08.860 the New York Post,

00:21:10.780 a 200-year-old newspaper.

00:21:13.900 Alexander Hamilton

00:21:14.820 founded it

00:21:15.720 and because Twitter disagrees

00:21:17.300 with one of its stories,

00:21:18.220 it's just they're not

00:21:19.540 even allowed

00:21:19.900 to publish anything.

00:21:20.900 I've never seen

00:21:21.460 such censorship

00:21:22.160 in America

00:21:23.660 in my lifetime.

00:21:25.860 It's just incredible.

00:21:27.260 I'm worried

00:21:27.840 what the social media

00:21:28.940 companies will do

00:21:29.820 if Biden wins.

00:21:31.500 They'll be,

00:21:31.980 I mean,

00:21:32.260 it's just,

00:21:32.980 they're basically

00:21:33.460 a campaign team

00:21:34.280 of us right now.

00:21:35.080 Let me ask you

00:21:35.500 one more question

00:21:36.180 about Obama

00:21:37.500 because,

00:21:38.980 of course,

00:21:39.740 this was in the dying days

00:21:41.480 of Obama's administration

00:21:42.820 that this scheme

00:21:44.420 to accuse the president

00:21:46.520 and his incoming team

00:21:47.600 of being Russian spies

00:21:49.180 was hatched.

00:21:50.760 Now,

00:21:51.180 Joe Biden

00:21:51.840 was in some of those

00:21:54.380 founding meetings

00:21:55.780 of the collusion scam,

00:21:57.560 wasn't he?

00:21:58.020 He was the vice president

00:21:59.360 back then.

00:22:00.760 No,

00:22:00.920 listen,

00:22:01.180 this could be called

00:22:01.820 Biden-gate 0.59

00:22:02.440 as much as Obama-gate.

00:22:03.820 Biden was in that meeting

00:22:04.860 where they decided

00:22:05.740 to target Michael Flynn

00:22:07.220 to get to Trump.

00:22:09.340 And Biden is there,

00:22:10.920 there's memos saying,

00:22:12.120 Biden said,

00:22:13.460 prosecute him

00:22:14.460 under the Logan Act,

00:22:17.080 which is this obscure act

00:22:18.300 that no one's ever

00:22:19.080 been prosecuted under.

00:22:20.400 So Biden was there

00:22:21.360 directing

00:22:21.920 the state intelligence services

00:22:24.380 to target

00:22:25.380 the national security advisor

00:22:26.940 of an incoming president

00:22:28.460 just because they didn't like

00:22:29.800 the incoming president

00:22:30.620 and just because they didn't like

00:22:32.080 the national security advisor.

00:22:33.640 This is tin-pot dictator stuff.

00:22:36.080 This is madness.

00:22:37.680 This is corrupt.

00:22:40.660 This needs to be exposed.

00:22:41.980 And that's why we did

00:22:42.560 Obama-gate.

00:22:43.020 And I want people to know,

00:22:43.800 you can see it actually

00:22:44.600 in the trailer there.

00:22:46.020 This is funny,

00:22:47.980 but it's serious.

00:22:49.480 It's a Shakespearean tragedy.

00:22:51.460 And even in Shakespearean tragedies,

00:22:53.180 there was humor.

00:22:54.220 And this has it all.

00:22:55.460 This is Jean Le Carrier

00:22:57.880 meets teen romance

00:22:59.260 meets The Hunt for Red October.

00:23:02.460 It's funny,

00:23:03.960 but it's very,

00:23:04.520 very serious.

00:23:05.000 And people,

00:23:05.780 I'd love people to share it,

00:23:07.400 get it out,

00:23:08.140 make sure everyone sees it.

00:23:09.160 And don't forget

00:23:09.580 to leave a comment on YouTube.

00:23:12.120 The left really hit that

00:23:13.500 when they,

00:23:14.060 because they'll try and accuse us

00:23:15.080 of boosting numbers and all.

00:23:16.680 But the comments speak for themselves.

00:23:18.780 Yeah.

00:23:19.240 Well,

00:23:19.500 just once again,

00:23:20.380 to our viewers,

00:23:20.980 you can find the entire movie

00:23:23.360 embedded elsewhere

00:23:25.740 on rebelnews.com.

00:23:26.920 We'll have a link

00:23:27.560 beneath this video

00:23:29.620 to help you find it.

00:23:30.960 Let me ask you one thing.

00:23:32.100 I'm always impressed

00:23:33.460 with the quality of actor

00:23:36.400 you are able to muster

00:23:38.320 because,

00:23:39.200 I mean,

00:23:39.460 I really feel sometimes

00:23:40.740 that you can count the number of,

00:23:42.760 I'm not even going to say conservative,

00:23:44.540 just independent-minded people

00:23:46.620 in Hollywood

00:23:47.080 on one finger's hands.

00:23:48.920 I mean,

00:23:50.400 Clint Eastwood,

00:23:51.680 Mel Gibson,

00:23:52.940 and I'm almost done

00:23:54.220 the entire list.

00:23:57.320 John Vaught,

00:23:58.320 but I don't even know

00:23:58.900 if he's working anymore.

00:24:01.560 Tell me a little bit

00:24:02.380 about Dean Cain.

00:24:04.380 I remember him

00:24:05.340 from the Superman series

00:24:06.760 when I was a kid,

00:24:07.860 and Christy Swanson

00:24:08.920 from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

00:24:10.820 Those are recognizable names

00:24:12.600 and faces.

00:24:13.340 Those are real people

00:24:14.380 with real careers.

00:24:15.600 They're still young.

00:24:16.380 They still have a lot of years

00:24:17.320 of acting ahead of them.

00:24:18.920 Are you aware,

00:24:19.820 have they received

00:24:20.900 any punishment,

00:24:22.160 any blacklisting

00:24:23.440 from Hollywood

00:24:24.660 because they are supportive?

00:24:26.540 I'm not even going to say

00:24:27.280 supportive of the president.

00:24:28.180 They're just reading

00:24:29.060 the texts of these Democrats.

00:24:30.780 How's that anything

00:24:31.440 but just reading the news?

00:24:33.920 But have they been punished

00:24:34.900 or blackballed

00:24:35.780 in any way

00:24:36.260 for participating here?

00:24:38.000 Of course they have.

00:24:39.180 I mean, look,

00:24:39.900 Hollywood,

00:24:40.480 when I first came

00:24:41.520 to Hollywood 10 years ago,

00:24:43.320 there was this idea

00:24:43.940 that we could get

00:24:44.740 our stuff made,

00:24:45.500 that we could be part

00:24:46.440 of the system.

00:24:47.560 That's just gone

00:24:48.260 out the window now.

00:24:48.980 And it's not even

00:24:49.640 the executives

00:24:50.520 that are saying it.

00:24:52.260 The workers

00:24:53.040 on these projects

00:24:54.640 will quite openly say,

00:24:56.060 we will not work

00:24:57.100 with conservatives.

00:24:58.180 I mean,

00:24:59.720 you look at it,

00:25:00.760 Spotify,

00:25:02.020 people are refusing

00:25:03.260 to work with Joe Rogan.

00:25:04.880 You know,

00:25:06.040 papers that hire

00:25:08.180 conservative columnists,

00:25:09.860 they have to fire them.

00:25:11.240 It's the staff,

00:25:12.620 you know,

00:25:12.880 so it's,

00:25:13.660 they're quite open

00:25:14.520 about it now.

00:25:15.000 At least 10 years ago,

00:25:15.880 there was a quiet blacklist.

00:25:17.080 Now there is

00:25:18.240 a public blacklist.

00:25:19.420 So they're very courageous

00:25:21.340 and people need

00:25:22.500 to support them

00:25:23.080 in whatever they do.

00:25:24.420 We were,

00:25:25.080 you know,

00:25:25.940 one of the things

00:25:26.740 about conservative drama

00:25:28.780 and conservative movies

00:25:29.800 is quite often

00:25:31.120 they're low budget,

00:25:32.260 quite often

00:25:32.740 they look low budget,

00:25:34.400 and quite often

00:25:35.040 sometimes there's

00:25:35.680 bad acting in them.

00:25:37.060 We always have tried

00:25:38.340 to make that,

00:25:40.760 and funny,

00:25:41.960 people say,

00:25:42.440 what do you want

00:25:42.840 your movie to look like?

00:25:43.660 I want it to look

00:25:44.820 like all the other movies.

00:25:45.940 Yeah.

00:25:46.840 Yeah.

00:25:47.740 And that sounds

00:25:48.660 very counterintuitive,

00:25:50.400 but I want people

00:25:51.140 to look at our movie

00:25:51.820 and look at it

00:25:52.360 as a movie,

00:25:53.540 not as a,

00:25:54.460 not as a conservative movie.

00:25:55.860 Yeah,

00:25:56.020 not as an

00:25:56.700 eat your spinach,

00:25:57.620 please watch this

00:25:58.440 to help the cause thing,

00:25:59.820 but watch it

00:26:00.400 because it's great.

00:26:01.220 I know exactly

00:26:01.780 what you mean.

00:26:03.200 Now I know

00:26:03.840 when we spoke

00:26:04.380 a little while back

00:26:05.100 you were crowdfunding

00:26:06.140 for this,

00:26:07.280 and I chipped in

00:26:07.940 a modest amount,

00:26:08.620 and I'm glad to hear

00:26:09.100 some other Canadians

00:26:09.800 did too.

00:26:11.000 The movie is up,

00:26:12.060 it's on YouTube.

00:26:12.940 Do you need

00:26:13.800 any more dough for it,

00:26:15.280 or are you already

00:26:16.040 looking at it?

00:26:16.580 You've always got

00:26:17.440 some irons in the fire.

00:26:19.120 If I know you,

00:26:19.940 you've already got

00:26:20.580 another project on the go.

00:26:22.320 Do you need more help

00:26:23.200 with this one

00:26:23.920 to promote it?

00:26:25.440 Do you have

00:26:26.060 a marketing budget,

00:26:26.940 or are you relying

00:26:27.900 on word of mouth?

00:26:29.740 Because if you're

00:26:30.520 doing something,

00:26:31.440 I want to know

00:26:32.180 because I want to

00:26:32.980 be a part of it.

00:26:34.340 You've crowdfunded

00:26:35.600 Frack Nation, 0.99

00:26:37.600 which is how I really

00:26:38.600 learned about fracking.

00:26:40.120 You've crowdfunded

00:26:41.460 the Gosnell movie,

00:26:46.700 which at the time

00:26:47.520 was the largest

00:26:48.760 crowdfunding of any

00:26:49.780 movie online.

00:26:52.160 Can you give us

00:26:53.060 a sneak peek

00:26:53.760 of what's coming

00:26:54.720 next?

00:26:56.600 Well, I mean,

00:26:57.440 yes, we're looking

00:26:58.240 for more funding

00:26:58.840 because,

00:26:59.320 and you can go

00:26:59.700 on ObamagateMovie.com

00:27:01.600 to see that,

00:27:03.420 or Obamagate The Movie

00:27:04.680 on our website

00:27:05.900 because we're,

00:27:08.840 basically,

00:27:09.740 if you give $100,

00:27:11.640 you can get it

00:27:12.540 to 1,000 people.

00:27:13.580 We're using it

00:27:14.060 for advertising.

00:27:15.380 It's all about

00:27:16.100 getting the numbers up.

00:27:16.960 We have to beat

00:27:17.760 Hollywood,

00:27:18.580 and that's a great story.

00:27:20.220 I mean,

00:27:20.640 what am I doing next?

00:27:21.720 Well,

00:27:22.200 you know,

00:27:23.880 there's a certain

00:27:24.820 person whose emails

00:27:25.720 are being made public

00:27:26.580 at the moment

00:27:27.180 who's led a rather

00:27:28.740 colorful life.

00:27:29.580 I think I might

00:27:32.760 have a hunch

00:27:34.200 of who you're

00:27:34.640 talking about,

00:27:35.300 and now I'm

00:27:35.880 extremely curious

00:27:36.860 to know who

00:27:37.440 you'll be casting

00:27:38.340 in the role

00:27:39.660 of Lady Macbeth.

00:27:40.740 I mean,

00:27:41.220 Hillary Clinton.

00:27:42.400 I want,

00:27:42.900 that is,

00:27:43.860 I can think

00:27:44.540 of some people.

00:27:46.660 What's her name?

00:27:47.400 Kathy Bates

00:27:48.020 from that

00:27:49.120 Stephen King movie.

00:27:50.940 No, no,

00:27:51.280 you're getting

00:27:51.500 the wrong person.

00:27:54.060 What about

00:27:54.660 the Hunter Biden?

00:27:55.400 Oh,

00:27:55.800 Ghislaine.

00:27:56.200 Maybe you're

00:27:56.540 talking about

00:27:56.940 Ghislaine Maxwell.

00:27:57.820 I don't know.

00:27:58.180 There's so much,

00:27:58.880 there's a lot

00:27:59.280 of,

00:27:59.500 sorry,

00:28:00.220 I got mixed up.

00:28:01.000 I was thinking

00:28:01.340 Hillary Clinton.

00:28:02.120 I'm,

00:28:03.240 maybe Hunter Biden.

00:28:05.000 It could be

00:28:05.620 so many people.

00:28:06.760 You've got me

00:28:07.240 confused.

00:28:08.140 I just named

00:28:08.840 three people

00:28:09.500 I'd be interested

00:28:10.220 to see their

00:28:11.080 emails about.

00:28:11.940 Wow,

00:28:12.560 Hunter Biden,

00:28:13.260 that'd be something.

00:28:14.380 Yeah,

00:28:14.580 so Hunter,

00:28:15.080 look at Hunter,

00:28:16.020 he's,

00:28:16.320 you know,

00:28:16.620 he's had Ukrainian

00:28:17.440 dealings,

00:28:18.120 he's had Chinese

00:28:19.300 dealings,

00:28:20.160 he's had crack

00:28:21.360 cocaine,

00:28:22.200 meth dealings,

00:28:22.940 thrown out of the

00:28:23.460 Navy,

00:28:23.920 he had an affair

00:28:24.420 with his

00:28:24.840 widowed,

00:28:27.020 his brother's

00:28:27.940 widow,

00:28:28.240 he got a

00:28:29.920 stripper

00:28:30.200 pregnant,

00:28:31.020 he wouldn't

00:28:31.460 play alimony.

00:28:32.900 So you're

00:28:33.180 saying he's a

00:28:33.560 renaissance man.

00:28:34.460 What you're

00:28:34.940 saying is he's

00:28:35.580 a renaissance man.

00:28:36.840 That's what,

00:28:37.340 that's what

00:28:37.740 Showtime would

00:28:38.440 say.

00:28:38.760 A man for all

00:28:39.840 seasons.

00:28:41.100 Hunter Biden

00:28:41.560 can do anything.

00:28:42.480 A complex

00:28:43.620 character.

00:28:45.700 I said,

00:28:46.140 hey,

00:28:46.920 I saw Hunter Biden

00:28:47.700 was,

00:28:47.980 you know,

00:28:48.380 people are now

00:28:48.820 looking up to him

00:28:49.640 for struggles with

00:28:50.460 addiction.

00:28:51.700 Okay,

00:28:52.740 that's one way of

00:28:53.420 looking at it.

00:28:56.060 Well,

00:28:56.500 I can hardly wait

00:28:57.260 for that.

00:28:57.700 Listen,

00:28:58.040 you're doing a

00:28:58.540 great job now.

00:28:59.160 I said

00:28:59.560 Obamagate

00:29:00.180 movie.com.

00:29:00.760 Is it,

00:29:01.020 is it actually

00:29:01.560 Obamagate

00:29:02.600 the movie.com?

00:29:03.560 What's the

00:29:03.860 proper website?

00:29:05.560 The movie.com.

00:29:06.720 Okay.

00:29:07.680 Well,

00:29:07.920 we'll put that

00:29:08.360 on the bottom

00:29:08.820 of the screen

00:29:09.260 to make sure

00:29:09.660 we get that right.

00:29:10.740 Well,

00:29:10.900 listen,

00:29:11.180 congratulations.

00:29:12.260 I say again

00:29:12.800 to anyone

00:29:13.100 who hasn't

00:29:13.520 watched it yet,

00:29:14.300 it's for free.

00:29:15.600 You can watch

00:29:16.180 it for free

00:29:16.940 on YouTube.

00:29:18.140 We've embedded

00:29:18.680 it on our website.

00:29:20.040 If you want

00:29:20.660 to help pitch in,

00:29:21.980 I know

00:29:22.280 Phelan and Ann

00:29:23.220 always work hard

00:29:24.820 and are some

00:29:26.060 of the most

00:29:26.360 productive people

00:29:27.240 in Hollywood.

00:29:28.520 So,

00:29:28.920 if there's any

00:29:30.020 project that they're

00:29:30.880 doing that catches

00:29:31.600 your eye.

00:29:32.780 And Phelan,

00:29:33.700 when you're ready

00:29:34.700 with the next one,

00:29:35.580 I know you're still

00:29:36.200 working on this one,

00:29:36.980 but when you're

00:29:37.440 ready with the next one,

00:29:38.620 make sure to stop

00:29:39.420 by our place

00:29:40.100 and we'll give it

00:29:40.940 a little shout out

00:29:41.660 to our people

00:29:42.240 up here north

00:29:42.860 of the border.

00:29:43.920 Totally.

00:29:44.260 That'd be wonderful,

00:29:45.220 Ezra.

00:29:45.860 You'll be the first

00:29:46.600 to know.

00:29:47.160 All right.

00:29:47.520 All the best to you.

00:29:48.700 Good luck

00:29:49.080 and congratulations.

00:29:50.680 Thanks, Ezra.

00:29:51.380 Bye.

00:29:52.020 Stay with us.

00:29:52.860 More ahead.

00:30:05.000 Hello and welcome

00:30:05.720 back on my show

00:30:06.580 last night.

00:30:07.060 Bruce writes,

00:30:08.340 how I wish

00:30:08.700 Ezra Levan could

00:30:09.300 have 37 minutes

00:30:10.100 with the president.

00:30:11.040 We would really

00:30:11.460 learn a lot

00:30:12.020 in that time,

00:30:12.740 but Leslie didn't 0.99

00:30:13.240 even do a poor job

00:30:14.120 in interviewing

00:30:14.860 such a powerful leader.

00:30:16.300 She should be fired 0.99

00:30:17.160 for asking no decent

00:30:18.200 question of Trump.

00:30:19.300 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:19.780 You know,

00:30:19.980 there are things

00:30:20.680 I'd like to know

00:30:21.480 about Trump,

00:30:22.220 his thoughts

00:30:22.680 on different subjects.

00:30:24.160 I'd like him

00:30:24.520 to talk about things

00:30:25.380 that no one

00:30:26.120 has asked him before.

00:30:27.200 I don't need

00:30:27.580 to ask him again

00:30:28.720 to restate again

00:30:30.360 his coronavirus plan.

00:30:32.200 We've heard it.

00:30:32.780 I mean,

00:30:33.120 if you're really

00:30:33.500 that interested in it,

00:30:34.740 he's done 20 interviews

00:30:35.800 on it.

00:30:36.060 How about,

00:30:36.320 could I have,

00:30:36.740 I'd like to hear him,

00:30:37.780 you know,

00:30:38.000 the news today.

00:30:38.700 Israel just signed

00:30:39.340 a peace deal

00:30:39.740 with the Sudan

00:30:40.440 brokered by America.

00:30:41.900 That's after Bahrain 0.98

00:30:42.940 and the United Arab Emirates.

00:30:44.260 I'm, you know,

00:30:44.800 I'm slightly curious

00:30:45.840 about that.

00:30:46.880 How about,

00:30:47.600 how about Huawei?

00:30:48.700 Can I hear the president

00:30:49.460 on Huawei?

00:30:50.920 I'd like to hear

00:30:51.820 the president's thoughts

00:30:52.660 on some Canadian subjects.

00:30:54.120 A hundred things

00:30:54.860 I'd like to ask

00:30:55.440 the president.

00:30:56.640 I doubt I'll ever

00:30:57.600 have the chance,

00:30:58.660 but that are genuine questions

00:31:00.300 and they wouldn't be

00:31:01.180 attack questions

00:31:02.000 and they wouldn't just

00:31:02.820 be attaboy questions.

00:31:04.120 Can you not think

00:31:05.200 of a question

00:31:05.660 you'd like to hear

00:31:06.220 the answer for?

00:31:07.140 Well, if you can

00:31:08.180 think of a single question,

00:31:09.920 you're further ahead

00:31:10.620 than Leslie Stahl 0.56

00:31:11.360 of the mighty 60 Minutes.

00:31:13.620 Paul writes,

00:31:14.780 she showed she was

00:31:15.460 either deeply uninformed

00:31:16.500 or deeply dishonest.

00:31:18.000 I think you're probably

00:31:18.660 talking about

00:31:19.260 when she disputed

00:31:20.580 both the Hunter Biden

00:31:21.800 laptop story

00:31:22.680 and the Russia collusion story.

00:31:25.000 She is living in 2016.

00:31:27.560 I don't think she's got,

00:31:28.640 I don't think she's

00:31:29.420 at the top of her game anymore.

00:31:31.640 Ron writes,

00:31:32.820 he should have walked out

00:31:33.620 in the face

00:31:33.980 of such disrespect.

00:31:35.400 Well, I don't know.

00:31:36.220 I mean, yes,

00:31:36.700 it was disrespectful,

00:31:37.560 but it was more than that.

00:31:38.880 It was just bad journalism.

00:31:40.500 And he sort of did walk out.

00:31:41.880 It seemed to me

00:31:42.620 like it was supposed

00:31:43.420 to go on a little longer

00:31:44.420 and then Mike Pence

00:31:45.040 was supposed to sit

00:31:45.660 in there next.

00:31:46.500 But 37 minutes,

00:31:47.580 think about how valuable.

00:31:49.100 I mean,

00:31:49.260 if the president's up

00:31:50.160 18 hours a day,

00:31:51.780 you took almost

00:31:53.180 one hour of that

00:31:54.100 and for what?

00:31:55.720 Well, folks,

00:31:56.620 thanks for joining us

00:31:57.380 all week.

00:31:57.840 I hope you enjoyed it.

00:31:59.000 For some of you

00:31:59.820 who were with us

00:32:00.780 on last night's live stream,

00:32:02.940 we had over 4,000 people live

00:32:05.380 watching the debate together

00:32:07.300 and then Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:32:09.160 and I talked about it

00:32:10.100 for an hour afterwards.

00:32:10.860 I thought it was

00:32:11.180 a great night.

00:32:12.120 That's it for now.

00:32:13.140 Until next time,

00:32:13.960 on behalf of all of us

00:32:14.720 here at Rebel World

00:32:15.380 Headquarters,

00:32:15.900 to you at home,

00:32:16.440 good night

00:32:16.740 and keep fighting for freedom.

00:32:18.260 we'll see you next time.
