Trump brings home 17th U.S. hostage — without paying ransoms. How does he do it？


Summary

Trump frees another American held hostage overseas, Andrew Brunson, who has been leading a tiny church in Turkey for 20 years. But it's a dangerous place to be a Christian missionary, especially under the authoritarian Turkish leader Recep Erdogan.

00:00:00.000 Tonight, Donald Trump brings home the 17th American hostage from overseas without paying a penny in ransom.
00:00:07.460 How does he do it? It's October 15th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:17.020 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:20.820 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:24.540 You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.
00:00:27.540 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:00:38.140 I don't know if you saw it, but over the weekend, Donald Trump managed to free another American citizen who was being held hostage in a foreign country.
00:00:45.900 It was a Christian pastor named Andrew Brunson, originally from North Carolina, who has been leading a tiny church in the Turkish city of Izmir for more than 20 years.
00:00:59.080 Of course, Turkey used to be a mighty Christian empire.
00:01:02.660 Constantinople used to be the largest city in the world, the richest city in the world in antiquity.
00:01:08.280 But it was conquered by the Ottomans, the Muslims, in 1453.
00:01:14.340 The city was pillaged.
00:01:16.420 Constantinople was renamed Istanbul.
00:01:18.640 The mighty Hagia Sophia Church was turned into a mosque.
00:01:23.800 And the jihad against Europe itself began in earnest.
00:01:26.780 So yeah, a bit of a dangerous place to be a Christian missionary,
00:01:29.940 especially under the authoritarian Turkish leader Recep Erdogan.
00:01:33.280 Erdogan. Erdogan has been slowly re-Islamizing Turkey, undoing the life's work of Turkey's great 20th century leader,
00:01:42.140 Kemal Ataturk, who secularized Turkey.
00:01:46.440 Ataturk turned his country's focus to the West, and he even said to his whole country,
00:01:51.300 and that's what this picture is here, he said,
00:01:52.900 we're going to write the Turkish language in English letters, Latin script, as it's called.
00:01:57.900 No more Islamic-style script.
00:02:00.400 No more squiggles. We're going to write it like you write English.
00:02:03.720 Ataturk also discouraged hijabs on women and fez hats on men.
00:02:09.220 He really wanted to modernize Turkey, not Erdogan.
00:02:13.280 He wants to be an Ottoman sultan again.
00:02:16.580 And the terrible thing for the whole world, and Turkey especially,
00:02:19.360 is that Erdogan came along right when Obama was president,
00:02:23.340 and Angela Merkel was the de facto boss of Europe.
00:02:26.060 So Erdogan pushed the West around in a dozen ways that he couldn't have if it had been Reagan or Trump at the time,
00:02:32.920 whether it was supporting ISIS terrorists in Syria or pushing millions of Muslim migrants into Europe.
00:02:39.740 Look at this huge rally for Erdogan and his Islamist political party.
00:02:44.880 But here's the thing.
00:02:46.020 As you can see by the church in the background, that rally ain't in Turkey.
00:02:49.980 That is in Cologne, Germany.
00:02:52.500 That's the big dome cathedral in the background.
00:02:56.300 Seriously, Turkish political parties campaign in Germany with rallies in Germany, as you just saw.
00:03:04.200 And that's totally cool with Angela Merkel.
00:03:06.640 Yeah, I don't mind.
00:03:08.980 Erdogan positively agitates Muslim masses in Germany,
00:03:12.880 insisting that they retain their Turkish identity and Turkish loyalty.
00:03:17.660 And they obviously do.
00:03:18.680 So he pushed Obama around.
00:03:21.140 He pushed Merkel around.
00:03:23.600 The one guy Erdogan couldn't push around this past decade was Vladimir Putin.
00:03:27.220 In 2015, I don't know if you remember this,
00:03:28.980 a Turkish F-16 jet shot down a Russian fighter plane that strayed into Turkish airspace for a grand total of 17 seconds.
00:03:37.440 That's a hair trigger, isn't it?
00:03:39.440 It was the first time a NATO jet, remember Turkey's in NATO,
00:03:42.620 first time a NATO jet shot down a Russian jet since the Korean War.
00:03:46.040 It was reckless by Erdogan.
00:03:47.820 Putin slapped Turkey so hard.
00:03:50.160 Putin immediately put business sanctions, economic sanctions, and brutally tough diplomatic language, of course,
00:03:57.200 and trade sanctions.
00:03:59.080 Erdogan issued a groveling apology to the family of the Russian fighter pilot,
00:04:05.380 and later had his own Turkish pilots arrested and investigated.
00:04:12.800 He arrested his own fighter pilots, claiming they did this as some rogue action.
00:04:18.260 This was part of a dissident group led by a shadowy figure named Fethullah Gulen,
00:04:23.720 implying that they shot down this Russian fighter as an act of sabotage against Erdogan.
00:04:28.560 Talk about blaming your staff.
00:04:31.160 Anyway, sorry for the digression, but I wanted to give you a bit of a background on Turkey,
00:04:37.240 on their authoritarian Islamist President Erdogan,
00:04:40.100 how he loved pushing around Obama and Merkel,
00:04:42.980 how he takes advantage of NATO,
00:04:44.660 how he uses modern U.S. jets to pick fights,
00:04:47.320 but how he immediately buckles to a bigger bully like Vladimir Putin.
00:04:52.880 And I mentioned Gulen.
00:04:54.120 That's a funny name.
00:04:55.040 I'll explain who that is again in a moment because it's irrelevant.
00:05:00.140 Anyways, I tell you all this because that is the world,
00:05:03.080 how it has been for the past decade under Obama,
00:05:05.660 and even under George W. Bush in the past as well.
00:05:09.400 Do you remember the shocking footage released by Iran
00:05:11.840 when they literally hijacked and boarded a U.S. Navy vessel in 2016?
00:05:17.280 This is Iran propaganda TV of them boarding a U.S. Navy ship.
00:05:22.140 Actually, I think those are Marines.
00:05:24.500 Barack Obama and John Kerry just accepted this.
00:05:27.220 Just fine with it.
00:05:29.420 Now, that's an act of war.
00:05:31.600 But Iran knew they could get away with anything with Obama,
00:05:34.540 and they used that to show the world quite accurately
00:05:38.440 that they were in control of their relationship with America,
00:05:42.060 not vice versa.
00:05:42.800 They also hijacked British Royal Navy ships at least twice
00:05:47.280 with impunity as well.
00:05:49.660 Now, it wasn't just Obama.
00:05:51.040 Don't just blame him.
00:05:52.640 I don't know if you remember, but in 2001,
00:05:56.020 a Chinese fighter jet was buzzing around a U.S. propeller plane
00:06:00.140 that was moving more slowly,
00:06:01.160 and the Chinese fighter jet actually bumped into the U.S. propeller plane,
00:06:05.640 forcing it down.
00:06:07.900 China held that U.S. plane and its crew for ten full days
00:06:13.620 and only released them when George W. Bush
00:06:15.700 made a sort of apology to China.
00:06:19.900 An apology to China.
00:06:23.140 Outrageous.
00:06:23.740 So it wasn't just Obama.
00:06:25.140 This is America for decades.
00:06:28.660 Well, how is it now with Donald Trump?
00:06:30.120 Does he apologize easily?
00:06:32.440 People say that's his flaw.
00:06:34.880 Well, look, here's some news about harassment of American warships.
00:06:40.500 It ain't happening anymore.
00:06:42.540 Countries don't try those things with Trump, do they?
00:06:45.960 They don't push America around, do they?
00:06:49.360 Even when Bashar Assad of Syria was accused of using chemical weapons,
00:06:53.080 and there was quite a bit of controversy over whether or not he actually did,
00:06:55.760 Well, Trump launched a short, sharp military attack against him.
00:07:00.140 Trump attacked Syria before as well.
00:07:03.940 And remember this, because it was important.
00:07:06.400 His earlier attack against Syria
00:07:08.340 was timed for when Trump was sitting down for dinner
00:07:12.420 with the president of China.
00:07:16.100 I love this headline in The Guardian.
00:07:18.460 Dinner time missile strike leaves China having to reassess Trump.
00:07:24.680 Yes, I think that's accurate.
00:07:27.580 Pass the salt, President Xi.
00:07:29.920 Here you go.
00:07:30.700 Oh, I should tell you what I'm doing right now.
00:07:34.300 Yeah, that's Donald Trump for you.
00:07:36.620 Trump was showing not just Syria, but China,
00:07:39.960 that he ain't no Obama.
00:07:41.240 And he has serious business to do with China,
00:07:43.560 including their bad behavior, their bad influence over North Korea's Kim Jong-un.
00:07:48.600 Launching an attack against Syria over dinner had a point.
00:07:52.540 Maybe another thing that isn't a coincidence
00:07:54.220 is that North Korea has since agreed to release hostages.
00:07:58.720 Do you remember this from a few months ago?
00:08:00.580 These are hostages who are American citizens.
00:08:03.420 There's Trump and Melania Trump.
00:08:05.520 And that was in the dead of night, as you can see.
00:08:09.360 North Korea has released all the American citizens that were hostages there.
00:08:12.640 North Korea also agreed to send home the remains of U.S. soldiers
00:08:19.220 that have not been returned to America since the Korean War in the 50s.
00:08:24.700 Imagine that.
00:08:27.120 And Trump says, and I think we can believe him,
00:08:30.700 that he gave nothing in return.
00:08:33.100 No promises, no money, certainly not the pallets of cash.
00:08:36.600 This is actual footage.
00:08:39.580 You see that picture there?
00:08:40.440 There are U.S. bills that Barack Obama loaded into a plane to release the hostages.
00:08:45.020 At least $400 million.
00:08:47.760 And another $1.3 billion in unmarked bills.
00:08:52.460 Literally paying a ransom as if to a kidnapper.
00:08:55.580 Which it exactly was.
00:08:57.060 Except you don't normally get $1.7 billion in ransom, do you?
00:09:01.820 Yeah, it's a bit different now with Donald Trump, ain't it?
00:09:04.060 So when the Turks...
00:09:05.440 Here's my point.
00:09:06.320 Here's the news, okay?
00:09:07.220 I wanted to give you that background on Turkey,
00:09:10.000 and I wanted to give you that background on Obama and George W. Bush.
00:09:14.900 Because here's the news.
00:09:17.320 When the Turks seized this American pastor just recently,
00:09:23.560 they thought they were living in the pre-Trump era.
00:09:26.360 They weren't after cash.
00:09:29.580 They were after the deportation of that guy I mentioned.
00:09:33.300 I think I'm saying his name right.
00:09:34.700 Fethullah Gulen.
00:09:36.280 I mentioned him before.
00:09:38.500 He's a former ally of Erdogan.
00:09:40.480 He's a Muslim preacher.
00:09:41.560 But they had a falling out.
00:09:42.880 And now Gulen lives in the U.S., has for about 20 years.
00:09:45.880 But that made him actually the perfect enemy for Erdogan.
00:09:49.600 A real, live enemy, but hiding out in a foreign land, undermining Turkey from abroad,
00:09:54.980 obviously in the pocket of evil America, any conspiracy theory you like.
00:09:58.040 He was the perfect scapegoat for everything that went wrong in Turkey.
00:10:01.180 Like I said, Erdogan even blamed those pilots who shot down the Russian fighter jet.
00:10:05.740 They blamed them of acting on the behest of that Gulen fellow in America.
00:10:11.080 In the fake coup of 2016 that Erdogan used just to smoke out all his enemies and kill him, really,
00:10:17.500 Turkey used the menace of Gulen as an excuse to sack hundreds, thousands of people in public life,
00:10:24.160 from the army, from the courts, even journalists.
00:10:25.940 It was the perfect excuse, the Reichstag fire, as you could say.
00:10:29.640 And I think that was pretty clearly what this kidnapping, what Pastor Brunson was about.
00:10:37.560 It was part of the same crazy scheme.
00:10:39.600 Kidnap the pastor, and then pull a China, pull an Iran.
00:10:44.160 A bargain with Trump to swap the pastor for this Turkish leader, Gulen.
00:10:52.020 I mean, hadn't Barack Obama basically done exactly that
00:10:56.680 for a prisoner named Bo Bergdahl.
00:11:00.100 Remember him?
00:11:00.660 He was a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan who just deserted.
00:11:04.860 Just one day he got up, left his base, and walked over to the Taliban.
00:11:10.480 He just walked over to the enemy.
00:11:11.980 Sounds a lot like that Canadian kook, Joshua Boyle,
00:11:15.980 who took his pregnant wife hiking in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan
00:11:20.360 and was captured, and she was raped.
00:11:24.740 Bergdahl was captured almost immediately.
00:11:27.040 And kept as a prisoner.
00:11:29.020 And Obama finally got him back by releasing
00:11:31.080 five very senior Taliban generals.
00:11:36.160 They don't have that rank, but these are senior Taliban.
00:11:39.040 They were all deemed high risk by the Pentagon.
00:11:40.960 They were all in Guantanamo Bay,
00:11:42.380 which is where the worst of the worst terrorists are kept.
00:11:44.200 And Obama set those five senior terrorists free in return
00:11:49.200 for getting Bo Bergdahl, the deserter, back.
00:11:52.940 And who knows how much cash was paid to the Taliban, too.
00:11:55.960 Here, listen to Obama at a ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House.
00:12:01.100 Talk about Bergdahl.
00:12:03.040 Just to be clear, keep this in mind as you listen to Obama,
00:12:05.560 because I'm going to play about two minutes of it.
00:12:08.000 He was a deserter.
00:12:09.820 He was not captured in a battle with the enemy.
00:12:12.900 He was not seized while fighting.
00:12:15.160 He walked off his base to join the Taliban, voluntarily.
00:12:24.320 Six other soldiers died trying to get him free, by the way.
00:12:27.740 Six other soldiers died.
00:12:30.220 And five terrorists were released in return for him.
00:12:33.440 And yet Obama talked about him like a hero
00:12:35.740 and had a proud moment with Bo Bergdahl's parents.
00:12:38.180 And check out Bo Bergdahl's dad.
00:12:41.380 Okay, watch for two minutes.
00:12:42.820 I'll come right back.
00:12:44.040 Good afternoon, everybody.
00:12:46.740 This morning, I called Bob and Jannie Bergdahl
00:12:50.340 and told them that after nearly five years in captivity,
00:12:55.060 their son Bo is coming home.
00:12:58.640 Sergeant Bergdahl has missed birthdays and holidays
00:13:01.680 and the simple moments with family and friends
00:13:04.480 which all of us take for granted.
00:13:06.840 But while Bo was gone, he was never forgotten.
00:13:11.580 His parents thought about him
00:13:14.000 and prayed for him every single day,
00:13:16.680 as did his sister Sky,
00:13:19.100 who prayed for his safe return.
00:13:22.880 He wasn't forgotten by his community in Idaho
00:13:25.200 or the military.
00:13:28.340 He wasn't forgotten by his country
00:13:29.780 because the United States of America
00:13:32.580 does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind.
00:13:38.280 As Commander-in-Chief,
00:13:39.740 I am proud of the service members
00:13:41.180 who recovered Sergeant Bergdahl
00:13:43.320 and brought him safely out of harm's way.
00:13:46.000 As usual, they performed with extraordinary courage
00:13:48.540 and professionalism,
00:13:50.260 and they've made their nation proud.
00:13:53.060 Right now, our top priority is making sure
00:13:55.560 that Bo gets the care and support that he needs
00:13:58.440 and that he can be reunited with his family
00:14:01.040 as soon as possible.
00:14:03.180 I'm also grateful for the tireless work of our diplomats
00:14:06.400 and for the cooperation of the government of Qatar
00:14:10.040 in helping to secure Bo's release.
00:14:13.380 We've worked for several years to achieve this goal,
00:14:15.600 and earlier this week,
00:14:16.500 I was able to personally thank the Emir of Qatar
00:14:19.420 for his leadership in helping us get it done.
00:14:21.340 As part of this effort,
00:14:24.200 the United States is transferring five detainees
00:14:26.240 from the prison in Guantanamo Bay to Qatar.
00:14:29.600 The Qatari government has given us assurances
00:14:32.380 that it will put in place measures
00:14:33.980 to protect our national security.
00:14:36.880 I love that last night.
00:14:38.320 You know, Qatar, of course,
00:14:39.300 is one of the biggest funders of ISIS,
00:14:41.680 and Obama said,
00:14:42.720 they've assured us they're going to protect America.
00:14:44.880 Oh, my God.
00:14:45.700 Anyways, you wouldn't know
00:14:48.320 that Bo Bergdahl was a criminal,
00:14:51.860 was a deserter,
00:14:52.800 violated his oath of loyalty,
00:14:55.200 broke the law,
00:14:56.460 and defected.
00:14:57.540 You wouldn't know that from what he said there.
00:14:59.700 Oh, and he missed birthdays and Christmases and holidays.
00:15:03.640 You wouldn't know that.
00:15:05.260 You wouldn't know that six men died trying to free him,
00:15:07.360 would you?
00:15:08.700 That Bo Bergdahl was later prosecuted
00:15:10.660 and convicted by a U.S. military court.
00:15:13.320 He was a traitor.
00:15:13.880 So, of course, Obama loved him
00:15:16.000 and had a special ceremony for him at the White House.
00:15:19.020 You saw Bo Bergdahl's dad.
00:15:20.800 He looked a bit odd, didn't he?
00:15:22.540 That beard,
00:15:23.580 something not quite regular there.
00:15:26.520 Well, take a listen to his response,
00:15:28.440 because he spoke next after Obama.
00:15:31.640 I'd like to say to Bo right now,
00:15:33.460 who's having trouble speaking English,
00:15:36.240 bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
00:15:38.060 sayabayim.
00:15:39.420 I'm your father, Bo.
00:15:40.320 So, people of Afghanistan, the same.
00:15:47.800 Khalifa al-Thani.
00:15:51.340 The complicated nature of this recovery
00:15:53.980 will never really be comprehended.
00:15:57.460 Yeah, I think he converted to Islam.
00:16:01.920 Pretty obvious.
00:16:03.360 As part of, what,
00:16:04.860 following his son's ideological path?
00:16:08.020 Was it part of the bargain of the release?
00:16:10.040 I don't know.
00:16:11.340 But even after Bergdahl was free,
00:16:14.400 so he's not under compulsion anymore,
00:16:17.060 his dad spoke in Arabic,
00:16:18.780 and he praised Allah.
00:16:21.340 And who did his dad think first?
00:16:24.100 Did you hear it?
00:16:25.920 He thinked Afghanistan first,
00:16:28.640 and the dictatorship of Qatar first,
00:16:31.400 not the six men who died
00:16:32.980 trying to free his traitor son.
00:16:36.480 That's Obama's world.
00:16:37.560 That's Obama's perfect family.
00:16:39.660 Let me play you one more clip now.
00:16:40.920 This is from a different setting.
00:16:42.800 This is Obama admitting that,
00:16:45.940 you know, maybe he's not so good
00:16:47.760 at this hostage thing.
00:16:49.440 Maybe he's not really the art of the deal
00:16:51.460 kind of president.
00:16:52.920 But listen to the elusive
00:16:55.520 bureaucratic language here.
00:16:57.820 I'm going to play about two minutes here,
00:16:59.580 but you really need it.
00:17:01.000 And try to understand what he's saying.
00:17:03.400 I'll sum it up for you afterwards
00:17:04.620 in about five seconds.
00:17:06.060 But try and understand,
00:17:07.360 what is Obama saying here?
00:17:09.000 We're so used to Donald Trump,
00:17:10.600 extreme bluntness,
00:17:11.540 say everything that needs to be said
00:17:13.380 in a short tweet.
00:17:15.100 Too blunt.
00:17:16.260 Right to the point.
00:17:18.240 Remember what Obama was like?
00:17:19.860 That oleaginous peregrination,
00:17:23.140 that Odyssean style of circumlocution.
00:17:28.840 This is what I mean.
00:17:30.080 The terrorist threat is evolving.
00:17:32.520 The world's been appalled
00:17:33.440 by ISIL's barbaric murder
00:17:34.800 of innocent hostages,
00:17:36.040 including Americans.
00:17:37.960 Moreover, the families of hostages
00:17:39.800 have told us,
00:17:40.560 and they've told me directly
00:17:42.620 about their frequent frustrations
00:17:46.400 in dealing with their own government.
00:17:48.980 How different departments
00:17:50.100 and agencies aren't always coordinated.
00:17:53.440 How there's been confusion
00:17:54.580 and conflicting information
00:17:56.760 about what the government
00:17:57.800 is prepared to do to help.
00:17:59.940 How they've often felt lost
00:18:01.380 in the bureaucracy.
00:18:03.020 And how, in some cases,
00:18:04.440 families feel that they've been threatened
00:18:06.740 for exploring certain options
00:18:08.220 to bring their loved ones home.
00:18:12.680 That's totally unacceptable.
00:18:15.260 As I've gotten to know some of these families
00:18:17.600 and heard some of these stories,
00:18:19.800 it has been my solemn commitment
00:18:22.020 to make sure that they feel fully supported
00:18:26.480 in their efforts to get their families home.
00:18:29.380 and that there is a sinking up
00:18:32.680 of what I know to be sincere,
00:18:36.140 relentless efforts within government
00:18:37.600 and the families who obviously have one priority
00:18:42.720 and one priority only,
00:18:43.800 and that's getting their loved ones back.
00:18:47.000 These families have already suffered enough,
00:18:49.420 and they should never feel ignored
00:18:51.100 and were victimized by their own government.
00:18:55.720 Diane Foley,
00:18:56.980 whose son Jim was killed
00:18:58.440 by us the last year,
00:19:00.360 said,
00:19:00.980 as Americans,
00:19:01.660 we can do better.
00:19:03.160 I totally agree.
00:19:04.960 We must do better.
00:19:06.900 And that's why I ordered
00:19:08.100 a comprehensive review
00:19:09.320 of our hostage policy.
00:19:10.820 So he's upset with how things are going.
00:19:17.020 Maybe he should talk to someone in charge.
00:19:20.020 And his solution is to order a review
00:19:23.020 and an investigation.
00:19:25.000 And his priority is that people feel heard
00:19:28.180 and supported.
00:19:29.920 Do you even remember?
00:19:30.860 It was duck speak,
00:19:34.100 as Orwell would say.
00:19:35.120 Just a lot of process words.
00:19:37.560 Felt good for the second.
00:19:38.820 Do you know what he said there
00:19:40.500 other than,
00:19:42.140 well,
00:19:42.380 he would never say he's failing.
00:19:44.040 He's saying America has failed.
00:19:46.060 You can tell he's never been in business.
00:19:48.980 You can tell he's never made a decision.
00:19:50.700 Never taken responsibility.
00:19:52.620 You know Donald Trump
00:19:54.220 would never say those words.
00:19:57.240 He would just do something
00:19:59.460 or say he's not going to do something.
00:20:02.460 But to say,
00:20:03.180 I'm upset by what we've been doing
00:20:05.580 and I want to get to the bottom of this.
00:20:08.120 That was eight years of Obama.
00:20:11.320 Trump,
00:20:12.240 in two years,
00:20:14.160 he's brought home 17 hostages,
00:20:16.560 plus the remains of U.S. soldiers
00:20:18.740 from 65 years ago,
00:20:20.220 bringing them home,
00:20:21.620 without releasing any terrorists
00:20:23.400 in compensation,
00:20:24.780 without paying billions,
00:20:27.160 without humiliating America.
00:20:29.020 And so it was with Pastor Brunson.
00:20:31.240 Under Trump,
00:20:33.120 America doesn't beg.
00:20:35.240 It acts.
00:20:37.940 Trump smacked Turkey so hard
00:20:41.760 with sanctions after their kidnapping.
00:20:44.840 They hit,
00:20:45.620 Trump hit Turkey's industries,
00:20:47.360 the steel industry.
00:20:48.600 Trump put personal sanctions
00:20:50.460 on individual Turkish politicians
00:20:53.100 who had a hand
00:20:55.080 in seizing the pastor.
00:20:58.520 Trump literally pushed Turkey
00:21:00.040 into a recession.
00:21:01.880 The lira,
00:21:02.760 their currency,
00:21:03.500 plunged.
00:21:05.180 Trump made Putin
00:21:06.240 look like a pussycat.
00:21:07.580 And Turkey finally caved in.
00:21:13.400 And when the pastor was finally
00:21:14.980 on his way home,
00:21:15.760 first to Germany,
00:21:17.080 to a U.S. military hospital there,
00:21:19.120 and then back to Washington,
00:21:20.720 look at Trump.
00:21:21.320 He was tweeting about it.
00:21:22.780 Tweeting about it in real time.
00:21:24.500 He was obviously excited about it,
00:21:25.800 and he obviously went
00:21:26.940 on the weekend
00:21:28.280 to greet him.
00:21:32.260 That's the thing about Trump.
00:21:33.400 He actually works weekends
00:21:34.400 unlike our Prime Minister,
00:21:36.760 Justin Trudeau,
00:21:37.960 half Trump's age,
00:21:39.120 who doesn't even work on weekdays.
00:21:41.680 He has so many personal days,
00:21:43.400 so much personal time.
00:21:44.320 And sure,
00:21:45.020 part of that is Trump bragging.
00:21:47.200 Trump met those Korean hostages
00:21:48.680 in the dead of night.
00:21:49.900 That's actually hard work.
00:21:51.280 It's also good domestic politics,
00:21:53.380 but it also shows the world
00:21:55.100 how important Trump views
00:21:57.380 the safety of Americans.
00:21:59.860 Trump wasn't just campaigning
00:22:01.300 domestically in America.
00:22:02.860 Trump was sending a message
00:22:03.860 to everyone,
00:22:06.140 from the Taliban
00:22:07.100 to North Korea
00:22:08.080 to Russia itself.
00:22:09.880 Don't you touch an American.
00:22:12.060 Even an American who
00:22:13.440 looks Korean,
00:22:15.240 is a joint citizen
00:22:16.100 like those guys were coming back.
00:22:18.400 Don't you touch an American,
00:22:20.480 or I'll come for you hard,
00:22:22.180 and I'll trash your whole economy
00:22:23.520 if you're a country,
00:22:24.280 and I'll do what it takes
00:22:25.380 militarily if I need to.
00:22:26.960 Seventeen men,
00:22:27.820 he's freed.
00:22:29.520 Americans,
00:22:30.140 not Taliban men,
00:22:31.340 like Obama freed.
00:22:33.740 So how about us here
00:22:34.660 up in Canada?
00:22:35.840 How about Justin Trudeau?
00:22:38.140 What about the hundreds
00:22:39.280 of Canadians
00:22:39.960 languishing overseas?
00:22:41.300 There's actually over a thousand.
00:22:42.880 I don't know if you know that.
00:22:44.900 Come on,
00:22:45.580 Trudeau doesn't really care.
00:22:48.220 Canadians are hostage
00:22:49.120 around the world.
00:22:49.880 Some Canadians,
00:22:50.560 like Robert Hall,
00:22:52.000 for example,
00:22:52.740 were kidnapped
00:22:53.260 by Muslim terrorists.
00:22:55.680 He was beheaded
00:22:56.820 by a Muslim group
00:22:58.980 in the Philippines
00:22:59.560 called Abu Sayyaf.
00:23:00.880 Others,
00:23:01.460 like Hussain Salil,
00:23:02.260 it's a joint citizen
00:23:03.940 of China.
00:23:05.180 He's a Canadian citizen.
00:23:06.160 He continues to language
00:23:07.040 in a Chinese prison.
00:23:10.280 Trudeau doesn't care,
00:23:11.060 and the media
00:23:11.380 don't care to press him.
00:23:12.640 Trudeau cares more
00:23:13.360 about bringing home
00:23:14.800 Muslim terrorists,
00:23:16.740 the perpetrators,
00:23:18.080 not the Canadian hostages.
00:23:19.820 Right now,
00:23:20.540 as we speak,
00:23:21.220 Trudeau's staff
00:23:21.820 are talking with
00:23:22.860 Jihadi Jack.
00:23:25.400 That's the nickname
00:23:26.460 that Fleet Street
00:23:27.760 gave to a British
00:23:28.480 Muslim convert
00:23:29.260 who butchered his way
00:23:30.620 and raped his way
00:23:32.160 in ISIS
00:23:33.940 through Syria and Iraq,
00:23:34.900 and now he wants
00:23:35.380 to come home
00:23:35.840 to Canada.
00:23:39.420 Trudeau has already
00:23:40.300 brought back
00:23:40.800 dozens of terrorists,
00:23:42.780 just like Jihadi Jack,
00:23:44.020 and he doesn't track them
00:23:46.440 once they're back.
00:23:47.860 He sure doesn't
00:23:48.740 prosecute them.
00:23:49.500 He just brings them back.
00:23:52.580 He even pays some of them,
00:23:53.720 or at least pays
00:23:54.860 alleged terrorists.
00:23:55.820 Ten million bucks
00:23:56.480 a pop is a going rate.
00:23:57.740 He's paid at least
00:23:58.580 four of them,
00:23:59.920 including Omar Khadir.
00:24:01.780 This story here
00:24:02.640 in the state broadcaster
00:24:03.620 says how Trudeau
00:24:04.940 is doing it.
00:24:06.080 Let me quote.
00:24:07.840 What we're doing
00:24:08.640 with the analysis
00:24:09.740 that we've conducted
00:24:10.800 is, in fact,
00:24:12.240 build a series
00:24:13.440 of podcasts
00:24:14.860 and counter-narratives
00:24:17.060 through art-based
00:24:19.000 pedagogy
00:24:20.040 and poetry
00:24:21.180 to empower
00:24:22.940 the broader population
00:24:23.860 in understanding
00:24:24.600 how ISIS
00:24:25.200 is using and abusing
00:24:26.820 religious interpretations.
00:24:30.740 So the Canadian government
00:24:31.940 is spending millions
00:24:32.600 of dollars on poetry
00:24:33.580 and podcasts
00:24:34.960 to tell these terrorists,
00:24:37.440 you guys,
00:24:37.860 you're totally wrong,
00:24:39.040 okay?
00:24:41.720 Can we sum up here?
00:24:42.920 Donald Trump
00:24:43.540 does not pay
00:24:44.900 any kidnappers,
00:24:46.000 any ransom.
00:24:46.920 He kills the bad guys
00:24:48.240 when he has to,
00:24:49.160 he slaps them
00:24:50.000 with massive sanctions
00:24:51.000 if he can,
00:24:52.180 and he gets Americans
00:24:53.420 back in America.
00:24:54.340 That builds respect
00:24:55.600 from friends
00:24:57.340 and from enemies.
00:25:00.540 No one doubts
00:25:01.740 Donald Trump now,
00:25:03.020 even if they hate
00:25:04.480 Donald Trump.
00:25:06.580 That's a pretty big
00:25:07.540 deterrent for capturing
00:25:08.800 an American now,
00:25:09.800 don't you think?
00:25:11.320 You're not going
00:25:11.800 to get rich off it.
00:25:13.180 You'll probably
00:25:13.760 get dead.
00:25:16.540 Justin Trudeau,
00:25:17.280 he doesn't lift a finger
00:25:18.620 for friends,
00:25:20.260 for citizens.
00:25:20.940 In fact,
00:25:21.940 believe it or not,
00:25:22.520 it was Donald Trump
00:25:23.140 who rescued Joshua Boyle
00:25:25.380 in 2017
00:25:27.040 and gave him to Trudeau.
00:25:29.560 Did you remember that?
00:25:32.260 That's Joshua Boyle.
00:25:33.400 He took his family
00:25:34.260 to Afghanistan.
00:25:35.060 It was the Americans
00:25:35.940 who rescued him.
00:25:36.720 Trudeau had a lovely
00:25:38.280 family visit with Boyle
00:25:40.420 who was later charged
00:25:41.780 with violent sexual assaults.
00:25:44.680 So,
00:25:45.200 no punishment
00:25:46.940 for a kidnapping
00:25:48.860 and murdering
00:25:49.700 a Canadian
00:25:51.100 in the Philippines.
00:25:52.780 Rewards
00:25:53.460 for terrorists.
00:25:55.280 Lots of friendly time
00:25:56.640 with a Taliban sympathizer
00:25:58.940 who allegedly raped
00:25:59.860 his wife.
00:26:01.300 And helping to bring
00:26:02.860 these ISIS thugs
00:26:03.740 back home.
00:26:04.200 So,
00:26:04.760 an incentive
00:26:05.460 to kidnap
00:26:07.220 or kill Canadians.
00:26:08.620 An incentive
00:26:09.340 to be a terrorist.
00:26:10.320 Get 10 million bucks.
00:26:11.400 And no disincentive.
00:26:13.160 You can come back
00:26:14.060 and the worst that'll happen
00:26:14.980 is you have to listen
00:26:15.900 to Trudeau's bad poetry.
00:26:18.540 So,
00:26:19.060 we're going to get more.
00:26:20.700 You pay 10 million dollars
00:26:21.820 for something,
00:26:22.280 you're going to get
00:26:22.640 a lot more of it.
00:26:24.900 Let me end
00:26:25.460 with a beautiful scene.
00:26:26.500 Now,
00:26:26.700 this will be mocked
00:26:27.720 by the liberal media.
00:26:28.720 It already is.
00:26:29.580 It's of Trump
00:26:30.240 with the pastor
00:26:31.100 in the White House
00:26:32.560 Oval Office.
00:26:33.240 Same place
00:26:33.880 the same White House
00:26:35.620 where Obama
00:26:36.280 praised that deserter,
00:26:38.980 Bo Bergdahl.
00:26:39.920 Here's the pastor
00:26:41.020 praying for Trump
00:26:42.520 in English
00:26:43.520 to Jesus,
00:26:45.660 not in Arabic
00:26:46.760 to Mohammed
00:26:47.500 as Bergdahl's dad did.
00:26:50.400 Lord God,
00:26:51.260 I ask that you
00:26:52.360 pour out your Holy Spirit
00:26:55.100 on President Trump,
00:26:56.320 that you give him
00:26:56.900 supernatural wisdom
00:26:58.100 to accomplish
00:26:59.740 all the plans
00:27:00.820 you have for this country
00:27:01.880 and for him.
00:27:02.540 I ask that you
00:27:04.980 give him wisdom
00:27:06.420 on how to lead
00:27:07.220 this country
00:27:07.860 into righteousness.
00:27:10.800 I ask that you
00:27:11.680 give him perseverance
00:27:12.680 and endurance
00:27:13.520 and courage
00:27:14.100 to stand for truth.
00:27:16.280 I ask that you
00:27:17.260 protect him
00:27:17.960 from slander
00:27:18.680 from enemies,
00:27:19.660 from those
00:27:20.020 who would undermine.
00:27:20.740 I ask that you
00:27:22.520 make him a great blessing
00:27:24.300 to this country.
00:27:25.840 Fill him with your wisdom
00:27:27.300 and strength
00:27:28.060 and perseverance
00:27:28.840 and we bless him.
00:27:31.560 May he be a great blessing
00:27:32.980 to our country.
00:27:34.520 In Jesus' name,
00:27:36.020 we bless you.
00:27:37.580 Amen.
00:27:37.960 Yeah, you know what,
00:27:41.720 I'm not Christian
00:27:42.580 as you know
00:27:43.040 and I'm not
00:27:43.420 particularly religious
00:27:44.520 but I hope
00:27:45.740 for every captive
00:27:47.140 American
00:27:47.720 and Canadian
00:27:49.120 who will be rescued
00:27:50.140 by the Americans.
00:27:51.900 I hope for every captive
00:27:53.220 around the world
00:27:53.820 that Donald Trump
00:27:54.540 continues to succeed
00:27:56.260 and be blessed.
00:27:58.540 Don't you?
00:28:00.160 Stay with us for more.
00:28:01.120 Hey, welcome back.
00:28:18.380 Well, as you may know
00:28:19.720 on October 23rd
00:28:20.980 next week that is
00:28:21.920 Tommy Robinson
00:28:22.900 will be heading
00:28:23.540 back to court
00:28:24.520 for a retrial
00:28:26.300 for contempt.
00:28:27.600 He's already served
00:28:28.560 ten and a half weeks
00:28:29.860 in solitary confinement.
00:28:31.120 for contempt of court
00:28:33.060 but that was thrown out
00:28:33.840 by the Court of Appeal
00:28:34.500 but instead of letting
00:28:35.140 the man be
00:28:35.920 they're demanding
00:28:36.980 he be tried again
00:28:37.920 and possibly
00:28:38.740 imprisoned again.
00:28:40.420 Now when I was in London
00:28:41.480 on September 27th
00:28:42.700 for his last hearing
00:28:43.980 there were eight
00:28:45.200 mainstream media
00:28:46.640 journalists there
00:28:47.460 from the BBC
00:28:48.180 from the Independent
00:28:49.160 all these
00:28:49.680 first-rate UK newspapers
00:28:52.340 but what I saw
00:28:53.280 come out the other end
00:28:54.120 was not first-rate
00:28:54.920 what I saw was
00:28:55.960 insane bias
00:28:57.960 to the point
00:28:58.480 I'd even say
00:28:59.060 journalistic malpractice
00:29:00.560 and I thought
00:29:01.240 what can I do?
00:29:02.640 I mean I'm going in there
00:29:03.480 and doing my best
00:29:04.060 to report the facts
00:29:04.960 from Tommy's case
00:29:05.740 and people can judge
00:29:06.800 based on those facts
00:29:07.860 but it's eight against one
00:29:09.900 and so we came up
00:29:11.080 with the idea
00:29:11.720 and Tommy approved it
00:29:12.800 why don't we crowdfund
00:29:15.440 some real reporters
00:29:17.860 to come in
00:29:19.820 to London
00:29:20.720 for the day
00:29:21.740 from Canada
00:29:22.940 from the United States
00:29:24.200 from other countries
00:29:25.300 not only to do
00:29:26.480 proper reporting
00:29:27.320 but to spread the reporting
00:29:29.080 around the world
00:29:30.040 well we've already had
00:29:31.500 four journalists
00:29:32.560 accept this crowdfunding offer
00:29:34.660 Candice Malcolm
00:29:36.080 Tarek Fata
00:29:37.560 Andrew Lawton
00:29:39.560 Cassandra Fairbanks
00:29:41.060 of Washington
00:29:41.620 and today I'm delighted
00:29:42.980 to introduce to you
00:29:43.980 the fifth journalist
00:29:45.380 who will be coming
00:29:46.300 all the way from
00:29:48.340 Melbourne, Australia
00:29:50.100 to London
00:29:51.540 for Tommy's trial
00:29:52.540 next week
00:29:53.040 please join me
00:29:54.660 in welcoming
00:29:55.600 Avi Yamini
00:29:56.520 from Down Under
00:29:57.800 Avi what a pleasure
00:29:58.540 to meet you via Skype
00:29:59.840 thanks mate
00:30:01.700 thanks for having me
00:30:02.400 well I love that
00:30:03.880 Australian accent
00:30:04.720 and I've been following
00:30:05.740 you a bit on YouTube
00:30:06.700 and I'd say
00:30:08.440 you're sort of
00:30:09.020 a spiritual cousin of ours
00:30:10.540 you're like a
00:30:11.060 you're a rebel
00:30:11.880 in your own way
00:30:12.640 tell our viewers
00:30:13.840 a little bit about yourself
00:30:15.100 you're a citizen journalist
00:30:16.400 you're a pundit
00:30:17.580 who are you
00:30:18.740 Avi Yamini
00:30:19.320 and how did you
00:30:20.020 become interested
00:30:20.760 in the case
00:30:21.280 of Tommy Robinson
00:30:22.040 well I kind of
00:30:23.960 fell into it all
00:30:24.840 because I served
00:30:26.460 in the Israeli
00:30:27.000 Defence Forces
00:30:27.780 I was a marksman
00:30:30.120 or a sharpshooter
00:30:30.760 in the Gaza Strip
00:30:32.460 for about a couple years
00:30:34.480 when I got back home
00:30:36.000 I actually opened
00:30:36.820 these gyms
00:30:37.320 called IDF Training
00:30:38.580 and I started commenting
00:30:41.140 on political issues
00:30:42.040 especially around Israel
00:30:43.420 at the time
00:30:44.120 there was Gaza
00:30:44.760 and from that
00:30:47.500 I kind of found a voice
00:30:48.700 and I found people
00:30:49.400 like Tommy
00:30:50.120 and I became a really
00:30:51.320 strong supporter
00:30:52.060 of Tommy
00:30:52.540 for the last few years
00:30:54.380 because I saw
00:30:55.980 Tommy was being consistent
00:30:57.800 he wasn't a hater
00:30:58.820 he wasn't a beginner
00:30:59.460 and you know
00:30:59.800 I come from a very strong
00:31:01.020 proud Jewish background
00:31:02.960 that I have no time
00:31:04.520 for real haters
00:31:05.320 I have no time
00:31:06.160 for those real
00:31:06.840 neo-Nazi types
00:31:07.900 and what I saw
00:31:09.360 with Tommy
00:31:09.960 was that he was
00:31:11.060 he was actually genuine
00:31:12.600 and he really cared
00:31:13.940 about the issues
00:31:14.720 and I found straight away
00:31:17.060 that the media
00:31:17.840 kept giving this twist
00:31:19.640 to him
00:31:20.140 to give it
00:31:21.860 some sort of flavour
00:31:22.740 of a bigoted person
00:31:24.680 and when I saw
00:31:26.800 what happened
00:31:27.260 with Tommy
00:31:27.780 and the organisation
00:31:29.220 that I ended up with
00:31:31.060 the organisation
00:31:31.820 that actually supports me
00:31:33.000 which is
00:31:33.440 the Australian Liberty Alliance
00:31:34.660 and their
00:31:35.400 Australian News Network
00:31:36.940 they jumped on board
00:31:40.220 and straight away
00:31:40.840 when we saw
00:31:43.060 what was happening there
00:31:44.040 we decided
00:31:44.560 we had to do something
00:31:45.260 about it here as well
00:31:46.140 well that's amazing
00:31:47.400 you know
00:31:48.120 I'm in the same vein
00:31:49.340 I think
00:31:49.900 I'm Jewish as well
00:31:51.480 and I heard
00:31:52.540 these terrible things
00:31:53.340 said about Tommy
00:31:54.220 and I thought
00:31:54.660 uh oh
00:31:55.080 I don't want to support
00:31:56.440 someone who's racist
00:31:57.320 or an anti-Semite
00:31:58.440 but as I investigated
00:31:59.780 I found out
00:32:00.360 that's the opposite
00:32:01.040 of the truth
00:32:01.640 and I think
00:32:02.560 that that smear
00:32:03.360 has been put on Tommy
00:32:04.380 so the people
00:32:05.300 of good will
00:32:06.380 and good faith
00:32:06.960 won't come to
00:32:07.580 investigate him
00:32:08.420 and let alone
00:32:09.180 support him
00:32:09.680 anyway I want to play
00:32:10.700 for our viewers
00:32:11.160 a short clip
00:32:11.940 of some of your work
00:32:13.400 just so that
00:32:14.080 uh folks here in Canada
00:32:15.920 who haven't been
00:32:16.600 to your YouTube page yet
00:32:17.740 can know some of your reporting
00:32:19.260 here let's take a quick look
00:32:20.620 hey Tommy, Tommy
00:32:22.760 Tommy, Tommy
00:32:24.760 Tommy, Tommy
00:32:25.240 Tommy Robinson
00:32:26.300 hey Tommy, Tommy
00:32:30.560 Tommy, Tommy
00:32:31.360 Tommy Robinson
00:32:32.540 hey Tommy, Tommy
00:32:35.280 Tommy, Tommy
00:32:37.280 Tommy, Tommy
00:32:37.820 Tommy Robinson
00:32:38.900 a journalist
00:32:40.660 Pell probably
00:32:41.860 one of the only
00:32:42.900 real journalists
00:32:44.460 today
00:32:45.160 who are willing
00:32:46.360 to call it
00:32:47.100 as it is
00:32:47.800 no matter what
00:32:48.800 and do not think
00:32:51.180 that he chooses
00:32:52.000 only one group
00:32:53.140 remember
00:32:54.380 he quit the EDL
00:32:56.580 because his own
00:32:57.800 people
00:32:58.580 started to cross a line
00:33:00.440 he did not want
00:33:01.500 to cross
00:33:01.960 so this is a man
00:33:03.460 of principle
00:33:04.220 this is a journalist
00:33:05.200 who stands
00:33:06.260 for what is right
00:33:07.140 and reports
00:33:07.900 what is right
00:33:08.680 and true
00:33:09.260 boy I love that
00:33:11.060 Abby I can see it all
00:33:12.280 you're an organizer
00:33:13.180 you're an activist
00:33:15.380 you're a journalist
00:33:16.660 and you've got some
00:33:17.680 great skills
00:33:18.740 on the YouTubes
00:33:19.620 that was beautifully
00:33:20.320 produced
00:33:20.960 that's pretty exciting
00:33:21.860 so what did we see
00:33:22.560 Sydney, Melbourne
00:33:23.540 Brisbane
00:33:24.880 and Perth
00:33:28.540 yes
00:33:28.820 we travelled
00:33:29.320 the country
00:33:29.940 essentially
00:33:30.580 the entire country
00:33:31.580 within
00:33:31.960 it was 24 hours
00:33:33.940 it was
00:33:34.360 to coincide
00:33:35.180 with the rallies
00:33:35.740 in Britain
00:33:37.140 at the time
00:33:37.740 and it was unbelievable
00:33:39.240 Australians
00:33:39.920 love Tommy
00:33:41.000 you know
00:33:42.460 many didn't know
00:33:43.540 who he was
00:33:44.160 before what had
00:33:44.900 happened now
00:33:45.480 which is
00:33:46.280 I think
00:33:47.680 is the case
00:33:48.720 with many people
00:33:49.580 around the world
00:33:50.320 which is ironic
00:33:51.640 because they tried
00:33:52.260 to shut him down
00:33:53.200 and they've only
00:33:54.220 elevated and given
00:33:55.120 him a bigger stage
00:33:56.360 now
00:33:56.640 which is good
00:33:57.200 because I think
00:33:57.800 we need more
00:33:58.400 Tommy's in this world
00:33:59.320 if everybody
00:34:00.540 was really like
00:34:01.660 Tommy
00:34:01.960 would have a lot
00:34:02.740 less hate
00:34:03.240 in this world
00:34:03.740 that's my true
00:34:05.340 belief
00:34:05.740 yeah
00:34:06.300 I think you're right
00:34:07.300 so let me just
00:34:08.120 remind our viewers
00:34:09.080 what the deal is
00:34:10.340 and you and I
00:34:10.880 have spoken about
00:34:11.580 this privately
00:34:12.180 but obviously
00:34:13.140 transparency is part
00:34:14.280 of what we do here
00:34:15.020 we here at the Rebel
00:34:17.380 are crowdfunding
00:34:18.180 with Tommy's approval
00:34:19.160 to buy flights
00:34:20.600 economy class airfare
00:34:22.140 economy class hotels
00:34:24.200 three star hotels
00:34:25.160 a hundred pounds
00:34:26.180 spending money
00:34:26.800 on the ground
00:34:27.300 and cab fare
00:34:28.200 and that's it
00:34:29.340 so that we're not
00:34:30.000 paying any fees
00:34:30.880 to journalists
00:34:31.500 we have no editorial
00:34:32.960 oversight
00:34:33.720 so I here at the Rebel
00:34:35.080 won't be your editor
00:34:37.080 I won't direct
00:34:37.940 your coverage
00:34:38.460 in any way
00:34:38.940 the only condition is
00:34:40.240 you got to come
00:34:41.180 to the court
00:34:41.700 and you got to do
00:34:42.780 some journalism
00:34:43.600 so we're just
00:34:45.060 helping to remove
00:34:45.880 that travel barrier
00:34:47.200 for you
00:34:48.140 and four other
00:34:48.920 journalists
00:34:49.320 I'm really thrilled
00:34:50.540 that you agreed
00:34:51.220 to do it
00:34:51.840 and thank you
00:34:52.740 for buying such
00:34:53.400 an economy class
00:34:54.260 travel all the way
00:34:55.020 from Australia
00:34:55.640 you really found
00:34:57.060 an affordable fare
00:34:58.260 thank you for doing that
00:34:59.260 I'm excited to meet you
00:35:00.420 in person in London
00:35:01.320 well I want to thank you
00:35:03.760 and I want to thank
00:35:04.180 everyone that's
00:35:04.640 supporting this campaign
00:35:05.620 because at the end
00:35:06.820 of the day
00:35:07.060 what we've seen
00:35:07.700 with Tommy
00:35:08.120 in the last
00:35:08.640 you know
00:35:09.100 the last 10 years
00:35:10.540 has been unfair
00:35:11.780 on Tommy
00:35:12.480 and the organisation
00:35:13.940 that I'm with
00:35:14.460 the Australian Liberty Alliance
00:35:15.180 have launched
00:35:15.780 the Australian News Network
00:35:16.980 which I'm going to come
00:35:18.200 on behalf of them
00:35:19.560 to report for them
00:35:20.640 the Australian News Network
00:35:21.680 and yeah
00:35:23.220 I'm honoured
00:35:24.380 to have been offered
00:35:25.620 this
00:35:26.260 and I know
00:35:27.160 I do have an election
00:35:28.020 next month
00:35:28.660 I'm running
00:35:29.060 an estate election here
00:35:30.200 but everybody
00:35:32.420 was thrilled
00:35:33.640 when I got the offer
00:35:34.880 and said
00:35:35.240 you know what
00:35:35.640 I'll fly in
00:35:36.820 for a few days
00:35:37.580 and fly straight out
00:35:39.220 actually when I arrive
00:35:40.180 after the 25 hour
00:35:41.660 flight home
00:35:42.460 I've got an event
00:35:43.500 that night
00:35:44.120 but that's a little
00:35:46.600 bit of personal sacrifice
00:35:48.660 I'm willing to make
00:35:49.800 for the cause
00:35:51.120 for Tommy especially
00:35:52.500 I look at Tommy
00:35:53.340 as a person
00:35:55.220 who is actually genuine
00:35:56.500 and we need more people
00:35:58.040 like him
00:35:58.400 especially on our side
00:35:59.560 of politics
00:35:59.900 you see too often
00:36:00.660 and I keep drilling this
00:36:01.520 into people
00:36:01.880 you see too often
00:36:02.680 our side
00:36:03.960 the so-called right wing
00:36:05.220 seems to be hijacked
00:36:06.680 too often
00:36:07.180 by real people
00:36:08.200 who are nasty
00:36:09.700 pieces of work
00:36:10.440 and the media
00:36:12.320 try to lump us
00:36:13.160 all together
00:36:13.620 and they try to lump
00:36:14.400 Tommy with them
00:36:15.420 he's not like that
00:36:17.040 and I'll be honoured
00:36:19.260 to be there
00:36:20.080 at the court
00:36:20.480 to show that
00:36:21.220 show the real side
00:36:22.180 of Tommy
00:36:22.600 and I look forward
00:36:23.460 to meeting you
00:36:24.040 and meeting the others
00:36:24.760 there that'll be there
00:36:25.500 as well
00:36:25.820 so I hope everybody
00:36:26.820 gets behind this campaign
00:36:27.960 and especially my followers
00:36:28.940 as well
00:36:29.980 please support
00:36:30.700 and ensure this happens
00:36:31.960 because hopefully
00:36:33.520 it ends up
00:36:34.080 a massive success
00:36:35.800 that we can show
00:36:36.460 the mainstream media
00:36:37.520 that we don't need
00:36:38.520 them anymore
00:36:39.000 and the people
00:36:41.320 the everyday
00:36:43.020 working class
00:36:44.180 or every person
00:36:45.120 in Australia
00:36:45.840 in the UK
00:36:47.000 in Canada
00:36:48.380 will be willing
00:36:49.700 to fund real news
00:36:51.140 and to make
00:36:52.360 the fake news obsolete
00:36:53.760 I think you're right
00:36:55.320 and so you'll
00:36:56.660 you'll be the fifth
00:36:57.440 journalist
00:36:58.080 and I guess me
00:36:58.940 that's six
00:36:59.700 and together
00:37:01.520 our total crowdfunding
00:37:03.120 budget
00:37:03.620 to cover everything
00:37:04.900 is about $12,000
00:37:06.320 and if folks
00:37:07.420 want to chip in
00:37:08.140 they can go to
00:37:08.960 realreporters.uk
00:37:11.260 in addition to
00:37:12.480 the six journalists
00:37:13.320 we'll have three
00:37:14.420 cameramen
00:37:15.280 for the six of us
00:37:16.660 to use on
00:37:17.500 grant
00:37:17.980 now feel free
00:37:18.500 to bring your own
00:37:19.060 camera
00:37:19.420 and your cell phone
00:37:20.460 or whatever you like
00:37:21.240 Abby
00:37:21.500 but we're going to
00:37:22.000 have a bit of a
00:37:22.600 crew between us all
00:37:24.120 there's going to be
00:37:24.940 nine of us
00:37:25.420 so that's
00:37:26.260 actually
00:37:26.920 outnumbering
00:37:28.080 the eight
00:37:28.820 hater
00:37:29.840 journalists
00:37:30.580 on the inside
00:37:31.280 I feel glad
00:37:32.100 that we're coming
00:37:32.560 in good numbers
00:37:33.220 I'm joking around
00:37:33.860 a bit about
00:37:34.300 those
00:37:34.580 mainstream media
00:37:35.420 from the UK
00:37:35.880 but I really think
00:37:36.780 that they're biased
00:37:37.700 against Tommy
00:37:38.300 let me ask you
00:37:39.300 what kind of
00:37:39.840 reports do you
00:37:40.460 think you might
00:37:40.980 do
00:37:41.320 from inside
00:37:42.940 reporting inside
00:37:44.180 the court
00:37:44.600 talking to fans
00:37:45.620 just sitting down
00:37:47.120 with Tommy
00:37:47.540 what journalistic
00:37:48.660 ideas
00:37:49.020 I'm very fluid
00:37:50.820 one thing I
00:37:51.800 definitely do
00:37:52.400 want to do
00:37:52.920 is I do
00:37:53.640 want to confront
00:37:54.380 those mainstream
00:37:55.080 journalists
00:37:55.580 that are there
00:37:56.240 because I think
00:37:57.820 it's disgraceful
00:37:59.140 and you know
00:37:59.800 coming from
00:38:00.740 Australia
00:38:01.100 where we're
00:38:02.140 fed this stuff
00:38:03.020 from Sky News
00:38:03.880 from the BBC
00:38:04.580 and everybody
00:38:05.520 loves to bring
00:38:06.280 up these
00:38:06.920 reports
00:38:08.000 as evidence
00:38:09.180 that Tommy
00:38:09.720 is some sort
00:38:10.560 of criminal
00:38:12.460 so I look
00:38:14.520 forward to
00:38:14.860 confronting them
00:38:15.440 I look forward
00:38:15.900 also to
00:38:16.780 meeting some
00:38:17.960 of his fans
00:38:18.480 and hearing
00:38:18.820 why they're
00:38:19.180 there
00:38:19.320 and hopefully
00:38:19.740 meeting some
00:38:20.360 of the
00:38:20.820 Antifa
00:38:21.480 there
00:38:21.720 chatting to
00:38:22.320 them
00:38:22.560 I was in
00:38:24.700 London
00:38:25.040 for one
00:38:25.960 of his
00:38:26.320 rallies
00:38:26.800 I think
00:38:27.220 the last
00:38:27.740 free Tommy
00:38:28.320 rally
00:38:28.700 and I found
00:38:30.200 it unbelievable
00:38:30.740 because the day
00:38:31.500 before that
00:38:32.020 there was the
00:38:32.720 rally against
00:38:34.340 Donald Trump's
00:38:36.120 visit
00:38:36.300 that was exactly
00:38:36.900 the weekend
00:38:37.380 Donald Trump
00:38:38.200 arrived in
00:38:38.760 London
00:38:38.960 and I
00:38:39.820 actually thought
00:38:40.900 London had
00:38:41.500 no hope
00:38:42.000 when I saw
00:38:42.500 what happened
00:38:42.900 it was about
00:38:43.260 10 of us
00:38:44.180 it started
00:38:44.500 with 2 of us
00:38:45.280 Debbie Robinson
00:38:46.780 who's actually
00:38:47.240 a good friend
00:38:47.740 of Tommy's
00:38:48.320 for a lot
00:38:49.080 longer than
00:38:49.620 I have
00:38:50.480 she put on
00:38:52.900 a make
00:38:53.320 America
00:38:53.720 great again
00:38:54.220 and there
00:38:54.420 was about
00:38:54.720 100,000
00:38:56.200 of them
00:38:56.540 protesting
00:38:57.180 against
00:38:57.760 Donald Trump's
00:38:58.360 visit
00:38:58.560 and I thought
00:38:59.480 there was
00:38:59.700 no hope
00:39:00.040 for London
00:39:01.400 until the
00:39:02.040 next day
00:39:02.580 when the
00:39:03.380 free Tommy
00:39:03.860 rally
00:39:04.160 actually happened
00:39:05.000 and there
00:39:05.220 were thousands
00:39:05.840 there
00:39:06.160 and it
00:39:06.920 gave me
00:39:07.180 a glimmer
00:39:07.560 of hope
00:39:08.040 so I'm
00:39:08.320 looking forward
00:39:08.700 to seeing
00:39:09.040 the vibe
00:39:09.540 the
00:39:09.840 you know
00:39:12.140 the different
00:39:12.880 groups chatting
00:39:13.440 to everybody
00:39:14.000 I hope
00:39:14.800 I hope
00:39:14.820 to get
00:39:15.080 as much
00:39:15.720 as I can
00:39:16.240 and obviously
00:39:16.720 also hearing
00:39:17.500 from Tommy
00:39:18.100 as well
00:39:18.540 in Australia
00:39:19.140 I don't get
00:39:20.120 to hear
00:39:20.560 from Tommy
00:39:21.140 himself
00:39:21.740 besides obviously
00:39:22.720 what he put
00:39:23.080 on his
00:39:23.480 on his
00:39:24.060 Facebook
00:39:24.340 but for those
00:39:25.000 13 weeks
00:39:26.160 or whatever
00:39:26.480 it was

00:39:30.600 accepting
00:39:31.000 this adventure
00:39:32.420 I think
00:39:32.820 that's what
00:39:33.180 it's going
00:39:33.460 to be

00:40:46.000 back your
00:40:46.540 viewer feedback
00:40:47.160 on my
00:40:47.460 monologue on
00:40:47.940 Friday about
00:40:48.320 the liberal
00:40:48.660 media reaction
00:40:49.440 to Kanye West's
00:40:50.840 visit with
00:40:51.340 Donald Trump
00:40:51.740 at the White
00:40:52.040 House
00:40:52.180 Tammy writes
00:40:53.180 Kanye dropped
00:40:54.740 a lot of
00:40:55.160 truth bombs
00:40:55.760 no wonder
00:40:56.200 liberals are
00:40:56.680 losing their
00:40:57.200 minds
00:40:57.700 most mainstream
00:40:58.900 media coverage
00:40:59.380 of Kanye's
00:41:00.420 visit was
00:41:00.820 sickening
00:41:01.680 yeah I've
00:41:03.300 never seen
00:41:04.020 you know
00:41:04.900 Lady Gaga
00:41:05.600 Beyonce
00:41:06.300 Jay Z
00:41:07.020 all these
00:41:07.440 pop stars
00:41:08.440 on the left
00:41:08.860 I've never
00:41:09.220 seen their
00:41:09.740 words parsed
00:41:10.940 and subject
00:41:11.420 to fact
00:41:12.080 checks
00:41:12.440 before
00:41:12.920 have you
00:41:13.400 like I mean
00:41:14.080 Lena Dunham
00:41:15.160 Katy Perry
00:41:17.360 every
00:41:18.760 Taylor Swift
00:41:19.980 most recently
00:41:20.740 who utter
00:41:22.160 banalities
00:41:22.960 in support
00:41:23.440 of the
00:41:23.600 Democrats
00:41:23.880 have you
00:41:24.180 ever seen
00:41:25.180 a leftist
00:41:26.580 celebrity
00:41:27.060 fact
00:41:28.040 checked
00:41:28.720 before
00:41:29.780 no you
00:41:30.820 have not
00:41:31.540 that's not
00:41:32.840 something the
00:41:33.260 media does
00:41:33.860 unless it's
00:41:34.560 someone who
00:41:35.060 dares
00:41:35.860 to support
00:41:36.940 the Republicans
00:41:37.560 and then they
00:41:38.120 must not be
00:41:38.600 just fact
00:41:39.040 checked
00:41:39.280 they must

00:41:44.080 was fantastic
00:41:44.780 as usual
00:41:45.280 people should
00:41:45.860 really listen
00:41:46.360 to his
00:41:46.640 wisdom
00:41:46.960 yeah I've
00:41:47.720 heard Jim
00:41:48.260 Brown talk
00:41:48.980 before
00:41:49.300 I like his
00:41:50.220 style
00:41:50.660 I like his
00:41:51.440 pace
00:41:51.920 I like his
00:41:52.620 thoughtfulness
00:41:53.180 maybe it
00:41:53.760 comes from
00:41:54.180 being I
00:41:54.540 think he's
00:41:54.820 82
00:41:55.180 he's not
00:41:56.420 looking to
00:41:56.760 impress anybody
00:41:57.420 and he's
00:41:58.180 had a tough
00:41:58.640 life but he's
00:41:59.200 made a lot of
00:41:59.600 good choices
00:42:00.060 and he's
00:42:00.640 taken a lot
00:42:01.100 of good
00:42:01.340 lessons from
00:42:02.540 it
00:42:02.800 I just
00:42:03.780 like it
00:42:04.420 you know
00:42:05.060 when you're
00:42:05.340 asked about
00:42:05.760 Black Lives Matter
00:42:06.460 you're asked
00:42:06.900 about kneeling
00:42:07.360 for the flag
00:42:08.020 when a guy's
00:42:09.020 answer is
00:42:09.660 when his
00:42:10.080 first answer
00:42:10.740 his starting
00:42:11.280 point
00:42:11.540 his first
00:42:12.140 principles is
00:42:12.800 well I'm
00:42:13.840 an American
00:42:14.400 wow my god
00:42:15.180 I'm gonna love
00:42:15.700 whatever comes
00:42:16.260 after that
00:42:16.780 I think
00:42:18.060 that's such
00:42:19.000 a refreshing
00:42:19.480 change
00:42:20.020 from the
00:42:20.580 identity
00:42:20.840 politics
00:42:21.360 extremism
00:42:22.060 of the
00:42:22.980 Obama years
00:42:23.620 and what
00:42:24.100 Clinton would
00:42:24.500 have brought
00:42:24.860 Lance writes
00:42:26.920 Kim Kardashian
00:42:28.380 is more serious
00:42:29.140 than people
00:42:29.520 realize
00:42:30.000 and would
00:42:30.540 do a good
00:42:31.320 job as
00:42:32.000 president
00:42:32.440 I haven't
00:42:35.760 satisfied
00:42:37.260 myself
00:42:37.800 as to that
00:42:39.040 question
00:42:39.480 she's obviously
00:42:41.640 a canny
00:42:42.580 businessman
00:42:43.260 who has
00:42:44.580 made a
00:42:45.480 fortune
00:42:45.800 I mean
00:42:46.000 she started
00:42:46.440 off well
00:42:46.940 she started
00:42:47.420 off in a
00:42:47.760 well-to-do
00:42:48.060 family
00:42:48.580 but she
00:42:50.760 hasn't
00:42:51.420 flickered out
00:42:51.980 or burnt
00:42:52.340 out
00:42:52.600 as so many
00:42:53.620 ephemeral
00:42:54.520 pop stars
00:42:55.240 has
00:42:55.760 and you
00:42:57.040 can say
00:42:57.340 she's famous
00:42:57.860 for being
00:42:58.240 famous
00:42:58.600 but she
00:42:58.980 certainly
00:42:59.660 managed to
00:43:00.220 build up
00:43:00.500 a bit
00:43:00.680 of an
00:43:00.880 empire
00:43:01.320 it's
00:43:01.960 turned into
00:43:02.260 a sort
00:43:02.520 of a
00:43:02.740 family
00:43:03.040 business
00:43:03.700 Kanye West
00:43:05.740 is no slouch
00:43:06.340 in the business
00:43:06.780 department
00:43:07.140 too
00:43:07.440 I don't know
00:43:08.280 how thoughtful
00:43:09.140 Kim Kardashian
00:43:09.860 is
00:43:10.060 I honestly
00:43:10.460 haven't spent
00:43:10.880 a lot of
00:43:11.160 time listening
00:43:11.600 to her
00:43:12.200 and in fact
00:43:12.640 I don't think
00:43:13.340 when fellas
00:43:14.220 follow Kim Kardashian
00:43:15.360 it's the ears
00:43:16.640 that do most
00:43:17.280 of the work
00:43:17.700 but I guess
00:43:19.800 my point is
00:43:20.600 I would be
00:43:22.460 open to
00:43:23.760 learning more
00:43:24.320 about her
00:43:24.680 politics
00:43:25.040 because I know
00:43:25.660 she was
00:43:26.000 effective
00:43:26.460 in a very
00:43:27.760 particular
00:43:28.660 lobbying effort
00:43:29.860 to get a
00:43:30.840 commutation of
00:43:31.500 a sentence
00:43:31.980 for a very
00:43:32.860 particular
00:43:33.400 criminal
00:43:34.020 who got
00:43:35.100 an inordinate
00:43:35.600 sentence
00:43:36.800 and in
00:43:37.980 that
00:43:38.260 I put
00:43:38.560 it to
00:43:38.760 you
00:43:38.900 she has
00:43:39.220 achieved
00:43:39.660 more
00:43:40.100 than any
00:43:41.000 of those
00:43:41.280 other
00:43:41.500 celebrities
00:43:42.000 I mentioned
00:43:42.740 from Lady Gaga
00:43:43.520 to Lena Dunham
00:43:44.240 to Katy Perry
00:43:45.260 to Perry
00:43:46.000 to the rest
00:43:46.940 of them
00:43:47.200 can you tell
00:43:48.500 me what
00:43:49.000 Jay-Z
00:43:49.520 actually got
00:43:50.560 can you tell
00:43:51.320 me what
00:43:51.620 Beyonce
00:43:52.060 actually got
00:43:53.200 in return
00:43:54.280 from Barack
00:43:55.300 Obama
00:43:55.780 other than
00:43:56.740 some cool
00:43:57.360 party invites
00:43:58.220 at the
00:43:58.480 White House
00:43:58.820 can you tell
00:43:59.740 me what
00:44:00.480 they actually
00:44:01.100 got from
00:44:01.620 Barack Obama
00:44:02.280 for the
00:44:03.260 black
00:44:03.580 community
00:44:04.160 and I say
00:44:04.700 that
00:44:05.040 because as
00:44:06.040 you now
00:44:06.420 know
00:44:06.640 because
00:44:06.940 Trump
00:44:07.200 never
00:44:07.400 stops
00:44:07.680 talking
00:44:08.060 about
00:44:08.340 it
00:44:08.460 if
00:44:08.860 you
00:44:09.020 ask
00:44:09.340 Barack
00:44:09.880 Obama
00:44:10.240 say
00:44:10.780 something
00:44:11.120 about
00:44:11.420 black
00:44:11.780 issues
00:44:12.160 he'd go
00:44:12.780 straight
00:44:13.060 for
00:44:13.180 identity
00:44:13.460 politics
00:44:13.920 black lives
00:44:14.460 matter
00:44:14.780 he'd talk
00:44:15.480 about police
00:44:15.860 brutality
00:44:16.300 he'd emphasize
00:44:17.000 the negative
00:44:17.520 you'd ask
00:44:18.460 Donald Trump
00:44:19.000 the number
00:44:20.400 one thing
00:44:20.800 he talks
00:44:21.220 about
00:44:21.380 when you
00:44:21.700 say
00:44:21.840 the word
00:44:22.100 black
00:44:22.440 is
00:44:22.760 jobs
00:44:23.320 jobs
00:44:23.580 jobs
00:44:23.860 jobs
00:44:24.160 jobs
00:44:24.500 and it's
00:44:26.120 the fact
00:44:26.340 that black
00:44:26.800 unemployment
00:44:27.160 has never
00:44:27.520 been lower
00:44:27.960 who is
00:44:29.760 truly
00:44:30.160 helping
00:44:30.800 the black
00:44:31.380 community
00:44:31.920 on my
00:44:33.640 interview
00:44:33.860 with Mark

00:44:37.920 yeah it's a
00:44:39.120 great little
00:44:39.520 site
00:44:39.860 it's an
00:44:40.600 aggregator
00:44:41.380 I mean
00:44:41.600 there's not
00:44:41.960 a ton
00:44:42.340 of original
00:44:42.880 content
00:44:43.300 there
00:44:43.600 and the
00:44:44.180 nature
00:44:44.380 of the
00:44:44.580 website
00:44:44.860 it feels
00:44:45.460 sort of
00:44:45.760 low budget
00:44:47.020 low production
00:44:48.200 value
00:44:48.480 but that's
00:44:48.880 fine
00:44:49.100 it's like
00:44:49.800 the drudge
00:44:50.200 report
00:44:50.460 just a

00:44:52.740 is
00:44:53.180 the
00:44:53.560 most
00:44:54.140 informed
00:44:54.620 person
00:44:55.100 I
00:44:55.440 know
00:44:55.760 of
00:44:56.040 about
00:44:56.620 the
00:44:56.820 state
00:44:57.060 of the
00:44:57.340 media
00:44:57.640 political
00:44:58.180 debate
00:44:58.620 over
00:44:59.320 global
00:44:59.740 warming
00:44:59.980 as you
00:45:00.320 may
00:45:00.520 know
00:45:00.740 he used
00:45:01.120 to work
00:45:01.500 on
00:45:01.840 Capitol
00:45:02.140 Hill
00:45:02.380 for a
00:45:03.240 senator
00:45:03.540 I'm sorry
00:45:03.940 I've forgotten
00:45:04.320 which one
00:45:04.720 right now
00:45:05.160 on the
00:45:06.580 global warming
00:45:07.000 file
00:45:07.320 so he's
00:45:09.000 he has
00:45:09.420 some
00:45:09.580 experience
00:45:09.980 actually
00:45:10.620 in
00:45:10.940 government
00:45:11.200 itself
00:45:11.600 but he
00:45:12.660 just
00:45:12.980 follows
00:45:13.600 every
00:45:14.200 single
00:45:14.680 day
00:45:15.040 the
00:45:15.640 people
00:45:15.960 the
00:45:16.140 debates
00:45:16.480 the
00:45:16.680 pundits
00:45:17.160 the
00:45:17.440 scientists
00:45:18.000 the
00:45:18.340 skeptics
00:45:18.720 the
00:45:18.880 lobbyists
00:45:19.260 whatever
00:45:19.580 so I
00:45:20.320 actually
00:45:20.720 think
00:45:20.900 he's
00:45:21.060 the
00:45:21.160 most
00:45:21.360 informed
00:45:21.680 person
00:45:21.940 in the
00:45:22.120 world
00:45:22.320 and I
00:45:22.820 love
00:45:23.020 the
00:45:23.160 fact
00:45:23.380 that he
00:45:23.620 doesn't
00:45:23.920 interview
00:45:24.180 us
00:45:24.500 whenever
00:45:25.180 we
00:45:25.480 ask
00:45:25.780 he's
00:45:26.020 such
00:45:26.160 a
00:45:26.280 friendly
00:45:26.500 fella
00:45:26.800 even
00:45:27.300 though
00:45:27.420 he
00:45:27.540 was
00:45:27.660 doing
00:45:27.860 it
00:45:28.000 from a
00:45:28.480 restaurant
00:45:28.820 there
00:45:29.020 and he
00:45:29.160 told me
00:45:29.400 later
00:45:29.600 on
00:45:29.860 the
00:45:30.180 staff
00:45:30.500 was
00:45:30.640 shooing
00:45:31.200 him
00:45:31.400 away
00:45:32.100 I don't
00:45:32.360 know
00:45:32.460 if you
00:45:32.640 noticed
00:45:32.960 that
00:45:33.200 but it
00:45:33.620 was
00:45:33.720 great
00:45:33.900 to
00:45:34.020 have
00:45:34.200 him
00:45:34.460 anyways
00:45:35.180 that's
00:45:35.600 the
00:45:35.840 show
