Trump gets a hero s welcome in India, and to think, he didn t even have to put on a costume. What was stunning and inscrutable and incredible to this day was Trudeau s decision to invite a convicted terrorist to India as an official part of his retinue.
00:07:17.060Namaste. Namaste. And hello to India. This is such a great honour. Let me begin by expressing my profound
00:07:31.460gratitude to an exceptional leader, a great champion of India, a man who works night and day for his country,
00:07:40.500and a man I am proud to call my true friend, Prime Minister Modi.
00:07:52.500The First Lady and I have just travelled 8,000 miles around the globe to deliver a message
00:07:58.500to every citizen across this nation. America loves India. America respects India.
00:08:06.500India and America will always be faithful and loyal friends to the Indian people.
00:08:15.500Now, Trump goes on in a flattering vein like this for quite some time. But the crowd ate it up, I think.
00:08:21.500Let me play a bit more, and there's a reason for this. I'll come back to it. I'm going to play a few minutes of it straight. Here, take a look.
00:08:28.500Five months ago, the United States welcomed your great Prime Minister at a giant football stadium in Texas.
00:08:37.500And today, India welcomes us at the world's largest cricket stadium right here in Abbott.
00:08:45.500It is a profound honour to be the beautiful new stadium to be here with you.
00:10:46.500Today, Prime Minister Modi is the tremendously successful leader of this vast Indian Republic.
00:10:55.500Last year, more than 600 million people went to the polls and gave him a landslide victory like no other in the largest democratic election ever held anywhere on the face of the earth.
00:11:14.500Prime Minister Modi, you are not just the pride of Gujarat.
00:11:23.500You are living proof that with hard work and devotion, Indians can accomplish anything, anything at all, anything they want.
00:11:33.500The Prime Minister has a moving story of an incredible rise and so does this entire nation.
00:12:00.500The story of the Indian nation is a tale of astounding progress, a miracle of democracy, extraordinary diversity, and above all, a strong and noble people.
00:12:19.500In just 70 years, India has become an economic giant, the largest democracy ever to exist, and one of the most amazing nations anywhere in the world.
00:12:33.500Since the turn of the century, India's economy has grown more than six times in size.
00:12:43.500In a single decade, India has lifted over 270 million people out of poverty.
00:12:50.500All right, I showed you a lot there, but I wanted you to see how it felt.
00:16:01.500I chuckled a bit listening to Trump try to pronounce them.
00:16:05.500The media party in the West jumped on that.
00:16:08.500Ha ha, Trump mispronounced an obscure word that we've never heard of either, but what a buffoon he is.
00:16:14.500Yeah, no, I think the Indians loved him for trying.
00:16:18.500This is the country that produces nearly 2,000 movies a year from the hub of genius and creativity known as Bollywood.
00:16:33.500All over the planet, people take great joy in scenes of Bhangra, music, dance, romance, and drama, and classic Indian films like DDLJ and ShowJ.
00:16:50.500This is the country where your people cheer on some of the world's greatest cricket players, from Suchin Tendul Kerr to Virat Kohli.
00:17:08.500This is the country that built the tallest statue on the face of the earth to honor the namesake of this stadium, the great Indian patriot and native of this state, Sardar Patel.
00:17:24.500Now, Trump being Trump and him being an America firster, he spent a fair bit of time talking to the folks back home about America's booming economy, America's revitalized military, things like that.
00:17:43.500Just months ago, this critical partnership took a major step forward when the U.S. military and your brave Indian armed forces conducted the first ever air, land, and sea military exercises between our two countries.
00:18:04.500As we continue to build our defense cooperation, the United States looks forward to providing India with some of the best and most feared military equipment on the planet.
00:18:19.500We make the greatest weapons ever made.
00:18:28.500We make the best, and we're dealing now with India.
00:18:32.500But this includes advanced air defense systems and armed and unarmed aerial vehicles.
00:18:43.500And I am pleased to announce that tomorrow our representatives will sign deals to sell over $3 billion in the absolute finest state-of-the-art military helicopters and other equipment to the Indian Armed Forces.
00:19:01.500I believe that the United States should be India's premier defense partner, and that's the way it's working out.
00:19:08.500Together we will defend our sovereignty, security, and protect a free and open Indo-Pacific region for our children and for many, many generations to come.
00:19:39.500But the emphasis on military unity here was quite striking.
00:19:42.500That's a message to America's traditional allies in NATO, isn't it, in a way?
00:19:46.500And to China and to Pakistan, get a load of this line and the instant applause for it.
00:19:52.500The United States and India are also firmly united in our ironclad resolve to defend our citizens from the threat of radical Islamic terrorism.
00:20:10.500Both of our countries have been hurt by the pain and turmoil of terrorism and that terrorism brings.
00:20:18.500Under my administration, we unleashed the full power of the American military on bloodthirsty killers of ISIS in Iraq and in Syria.
00:20:29.500Today, the ISIS territorial caliphate has been 100 percent destroyed.
00:20:37.500And the monster known as al-Baghdadi, the founder and leader of ISIS, is dead.
00:20:44.500In the United States, we have also made clear that while our country will always welcome newcomers who share our values and love our people,
00:20:57.500our borders will always be closed to terrorists and terrorism and to any form of extremism.
00:21:04.500Trump went on a bit more, but then, and I'd have to check the clock, but he had been praising India nonstop and full tilt.
00:25:41.500When lawless far left-wing radicals tried to bring their nationwide railway blocking protest to Alberta
00:25:48.500as part of their ongoing plan to shut down Canada,
00:25:52.500they were the ones being shut down by severely normal Alberta men.
00:25:57.500The protesters say they are in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en people against the coastal gas link natural gas pipeline in northern British Columbia.
00:26:06.500However, the Wet'suwet'en elected band council and eight of 13 hereditary chiefs all support the prosperity and jobs the pipeline offers to their community.
00:26:16.500These blockaders are just radical environmentalist interlopers inserting themselves into other people's lives.
00:26:23.500Now, just eight hours into the protest west of Edmonton, normal Alberta men had had enough and showed up to politely and peacefully pull the blockade down.
00:26:33.500And since then, it has been my mission over the past few days to track down each and every one of them and thank them personally,
00:26:41.500offer them a tiny token of our gratitude for standing up for the rule of law when no one else will,
00:26:47.500in the form of a case of beer of their choosing.
00:26:51.500We met and thanked Chase Chomi yesterday.
00:26:55.500Today, you're going to meet another one of the men we identified.
00:26:59.500I'd like to introduce all of you at home to, I guess, an everyday hero.
00:27:04.500This is Zachary Solomon Lamoureux and he was one of the rail line blockade busters, right?
00:31:56.500Global News captured it in their footage.
00:31:59.500They even aired it on the news that night.
00:32:01.500And yet Global News and the mainstream media still contend that these rail line blockaders are just perfectly peaceful hippies with a cause.
00:32:12.500Even with the assault caught on camera, the police refused to help or even tried to identify the person who assaulted Zach just meters from where they were sitting in their cars.
00:32:56.500And if the police arrest you for upholding the law when they refuse to, we've got your back.
00:33:02.500And we'll deliver or ship a case of beer to all the heroes we can identify.
00:33:07.500I'll hand deliver it in every instance where that's possible because I want to be the one to personally thank every single person involved in doing the right thing by the entire country.
00:33:18.500And in this case, we're going to step up and help Zach because the cops were apparently too busy to do so.
00:33:25.500We're going to pursue a civil lawsuit to get justice for Zach just like we did against Dion Buse when he hit me and the courts let me down and didn't include me in the process.
00:33:37.500So here's where we need your help to do all of this.
00:33:41.500First, help us find the masked thug that shoved a plywood sign into Zach's neck and assaulted him on camera.
00:33:50.500If you have information that leads to the positive identification of the thug who assaulted Zach, we will give you $1,000.
00:33:59.500So if you've got information on the identity of that violent masked coward, please send it to tips at rebelnews.com and we will keep it confidential.
00:34:11.500And if you'd like to help us draw a line in the sand and set a marker down for the rest of these rail line blockaders, these violent hooligans,
00:34:20.500that if you put your hands on people who show up peacefully and politely to uphold the rule of law in this country and clear trash off the tracks,
00:34:29.500you're going to be in for a rough ride even if the police don't want to charge you.
00:34:35.500If you can chip in to cover the legal costs to help us help Zach, please go to cleartheblockades.com.
00:34:44.500Lawsuits are expensive, but we think it's so important to send a message not just to the handsy unruly ragamuffins blocking train tracks across the country,
00:34:53.500but also to officials who refuse to do something about it when the tracks are blocked or when someone like Zach is assaulted.
00:35:02.500And of course, we'll pay for the beer ourselves.
00:35:05.500Now, I learned a lesson too from guys like Zach, Guy Simpson and Chase.
