Rebel News Podcast - US election： I’ve heard of sore losers. But sore winners？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Today, I go through some of the media reaction and political reaction to

00:00:05.180 Biden taking the lead in the vote count. He's not the president-elect yet,

00:00:09.520 and I want to make that clear, and I do so in the video. But I go through how some of the

00:00:13.280 Democrats and some of the media are handling their joy and their rage and their coping and

00:00:17.960 their excitement. Let me invite you to listen to that, but before I do, let me invite you to

00:00:22.060 become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast. Just go to

00:00:32.420 got some good clips for you today. All right, here's today's show.

00:00:49.820 Tonight, I've heard of sore losers, but sore winners? It's November 9th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:56.700 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:02.500 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:06.560 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:11.160 bloody right to do so.

00:01:16.420 In the days before the election, we saw lots of reports of storekeepers around America boarding up

00:01:22.640 their stores, protecting their plate glass windows in anticipation of riots.

00:01:28.440 Can it be a little bit more accurate, though? There were storekeepers in Democrat-run cities like

00:01:33.700 New York and Washington, D.C. Those were the places that were boarding up their stores. Places

00:01:37.780 where riots are politically acceptable. Places where Democrats throw riot tantrums if they don't get 0.96

00:01:45.000 their way, and Democrat politicians allow it. But I get it. The Democrats had a summer of street

00:01:50.740 riots. What if the election result were so close, and their guy just barely lost, and thought it was

00:01:57.180 unfair? What if the final conclusive results weren't clear, and the country was in the state of limbo?

00:02:02.140 Of course, that's exactly what happened, except that it's 70 million Republicans who feel cheated.

00:02:08.320 70 million. But everyone knows they don't riot. They just don't. There just hasn't been any riots.

00:02:15.340 So the shopkeepers know it's safe to take down the boards. And the media knows it's safe, too.

00:02:20.340 They were hoping for riots if the Republican won. I mean, these were the folks who talked about mostly

00:02:25.780 peaceful riots this summer.

00:02:27.340 Christine, Laura, what you're seeing behind me is one of multiple locations that have been burning in

00:02:32.240 Kenosha, Wisconsin, over the course of the night. A second night since Jacob Blake was seen shot in the

00:02:39.220 back seven times by a police officer. And what you are seeing now, these images came and come in stark contrast

00:02:47.060 to what we saw over the course of the daytime hours in Kenosha and into the early evening, which were

00:02:52.960 largely peaceful demonstrations in the face of law enforcement.

00:02:56.060 I saw Gerald Butz's new boss, Ian Bremmer, the guy who gave him a soft landing in New York

00:03:01.500 after Butz was kicked out of Trudeau's office in disgrace. He wrote,

00:03:06.720 Now is the time for every Biden supporter to reach out to one person who voted for Trump.

00:03:13.080 Empathize with them. Tell them you know how they feel. You do from 2016.

00:03:18.300 Come up with one issue you can agree on. Thanks, Dad.

00:03:23.180 Now, I actually don't think Ian Bremmer knows anyone who voted for Trump.

00:03:28.660 He doesn't know them well, at least. I mean, he probably has a name or two in his Rolodex. But

00:03:34.880 I don't think he has any conservative friends. It's like that book I told you about the other day,

00:03:38.580 Coming Apart, by Charles Murray, that talks about the great divide in America. Do you know anyone who

00:03:43.340 is an evangelical Christian? Are you friends with someone with whom you vigorously disagree about

00:03:48.360 substantive things? Have you ever been on a factory floor? Have you ever lived in a small town for a

00:03:52.780 year or more that wasn't a college town, etc.? You're not evil if the answer to all that is no. You're just

00:03:57.980 disconnected from the other half, from the 70 million people who voted for Trump and do not

00:04:02.440 feel like Hillary Clinton supporters. Hillary Clinton supporters were upset because their

00:04:08.920 candidate and their party lost in 2016. It's true. That is upsetting. But that happens to half the

00:04:14.320 country every election. That is normal. That's the feeling of losing. Trump voters are feeling

00:04:20.140 something more than losing. They're feeling something being stolen. If you lose your wallet,

00:04:25.500 if you drop it, if you left it somewhere, if you misplace it, you're frustrated and you're upset.

00:04:30.160 But if you didn't lose it, if it was actually stolen from you, that is a completely different

00:04:34.260 feeling. A stolen wallet is a grievous offense against you. It's morally unacceptable to you. You

00:04:39.560 need justice. Losing a wallet is your own foolishness. Maybe you blame yourself, but having it stolen, 0.96

00:04:45.780 that is unjust. And look, that's just a wallet. A few dollars, some ID cards. More hassle than

00:04:52.440 anything but losing an election. A momentous election. Not losing, having it stolen. Hillary

00:04:59.140 Clinton could never claim it was stolen from her. I mean, she lost Wisconsin. She did misplace it. She

00:05:03.840 never campaigned there in the general election. I mean, sure, she claimed Russia stole it from her,

00:05:08.120 but there was never any evidence of that. It was obvious she never really meant it and neither did

00:05:11.860 her party and neither did the media. It was just a way of her avoiding responsibility. It was a way

00:05:16.140 of her attacking Donald Trump with her own sins. She sold the Secretary of State's job to the 1.00

00:05:21.080 pie's bidder. The Clinton Foundation is taking tens of millions of dollars from foreign countries.

00:05:26.060 Donald Trump didn't raise foreign money for his campaign. He wasn't submissive to foreign powers.

00:05:31.320 The Democrats are clever enough to accuse their opponents of their own sins.

00:05:36.080 And if you're trying to convince 70 million Americans that the election was not, in fact,

00:05:40.040 rigged, I can think of nothing more counterproductive than to censor any legitimate questions about the

00:05:45.300 election and its fairness. Yet look online. Look at how Twitter, for example, censors Trump's tweets

00:05:50.840 about the election and its anomalies and its legal recounts. They're censoring more than half his

00:05:56.120 comments. Are you trying to convince people it wasn't rigged by interfering with legitimate

00:06:01.040 questions about the rigging? By telling the president what he can or can't say about his own campaign?

00:06:07.340 It's insane. It's madness. Yeah, sorry, Ian, but your very question shows you have no clue.

00:06:12.800 But it wasn't about reaching out. It was about showing his own tribe how magnanimous he is. Do you think

00:06:17.340 he knows a single MAGA hat wearing American? I know he mocks those in flyover country.

00:06:23.920 Here's a Twitter exchange between him and Gerald Butts making fun of Republicans as, you know,

00:06:28.740 really terrorists, American ISIS or whatever. So, you know, he's just lying. But they weren't lying

00:06:34.120 about how excited they were. The neutral people, the reporters, you can count on these reporters

00:06:41.420 not to lie about the facts. But, you know, they just let it slip here, right? Here's Don Lemon.

00:06:47.100 No longer do we have to live under people who pretending that up is not up and down is not down,

00:06:54.320 that one plus one doesn't equal two. And so I can't help but be emotional at this moment. I'm not

00:07:01.000 quite sure what I'm going to say. So forgive me. I may not say all the right things tonight.

00:07:04.800 I am very emotional. And guess what? I am speaking for everyone. But I got to tell you,

00:07:09.780 when I watched that black woman come out on stage tonight and I saw all of those people from of all

00:07:16.180 ages and all different backgrounds and the whole entire theme was everyone is welcome under this

00:07:22.680 tent. We don't care who you are. We don't care if you voted for us or not. You're all part of this

00:07:28.800 American experiment. It was I was so overwhelmed to hear that. I don't care what people think. If they

00:07:34.600 think I'm biased or not, I don't care because I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. I'm not a

00:07:39.800 conservative. I'm not I'm not a liberal. I am an American. And we all deserve to be able to live

00:07:46.060 in this country and have respect. And what this administration and what this president doesn't

00:07:52.460 do, they do not respect people or anyone who doesn't believe what they believe. And so I'm very

00:08:00.060 emotional. So when you ask me how I'm feeling right now, I'm sorry. That's all I can tell you.

00:08:05.420 This is how I feel right now. I am so happy to have this platform to be able to do this. I may not

00:08:09.720 have it after this, but I really don't care. I am so happy to live in a country that has an

00:08:17.920 administration that is going to go in regardless. I'm going to challenge them on their policies.

00:08:22.440 I'm going to hold them to account. But when you say we're all welcome and we're all equal in this

00:08:27.200 country, amen, I'm in on that. Yeah, Don, it's been really hard, really tough, earning millions

00:08:33.600 of dollars a year to sneer at people. I know you were the victim. It was really hard. Look at him

00:08:38.420 here with the Lincoln Project, folks. University. Right. Also, he doesn't really say that she

00:08:44.260 couldn't identify Ukraine on a map. He insinuates it's just a petty attempt to put her down, right?

00:08:50.700 Is that what this is? Of course. Of course. He's just trying to demean her. And obviously,

00:08:58.620 it's false. And look, he also knows deep in his heart that Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on

00:09:03.240 a map if you had the letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it. He knows that

00:09:08.720 this is an administration defined by ignorance of the world. And so that's partly him playing to

00:09:15.800 their base and playing to their audience. You know, the credulous boomer rube demo that backs

00:09:21.500 Donald Trump that wants to think that Donald Trump's a smart one in there. Oh, y'all elitist

00:09:28.140 or dumb. You elitist with your geography and your maps and your spelling, even though my math and 1.00

00:09:35.840 you're reading. Yeah, you're reading, you know, your geography, knowing other countries, sipping

00:09:42.080 your latte. All those lines on the map. Only them elitists know where Ukraine is.

00:09:52.080 Sorry, I apologize. But it was Rick's fault. I blame Rick.

00:10:00.620 But in all honesty, you know what NPR should do? Sorry, hold on. Wait, wait. Can I tell you a second?

00:10:07.220 Hold on, hold on, hold on. Sorry. That was good. Sorry. Rick, that was a good one. I needed that.

00:10:13.860 Okay, so listen. Yeah, thank God you don't have to worry about Trump making fun of you anymore.

00:10:18.140 Phew, you dodged the bullet. Here's a mashup of neutral reporters and honest dealers.

00:10:23.020 Character matters. Character matters. It matters. Telling the truth matters. Being a good person

00:10:29.440 matters. I don't know why I'm crying so much, but what got me choked up was the picture of

00:10:37.180 the cab driver. And so I'm very emotional. So when you ask me how I'm feeling right now,

00:10:43.160 I'm sorry. That's all I can tell you. This is how I feel right now. Nobody knows what it feels like

00:10:48.740 as a black man to be able to speak in this moment.

00:11:01.160 If you're an immigrant, you don't have to worry if the president's going to be happier to have 0.67

00:11:05.060 babies snatched away or send dreamers back for no reason.

00:11:11.780 Me too. I started crying again when I heard the bell from Paris. I keep crying. I'm going to cry

00:11:18.040 now. Go away from me. You're going to make me cry.

00:11:22.700 We don't care who you are. We don't care if you voted for us or not.

00:11:27.000 Look, they tell you how much they love Biden, how much they hate Trump. How can you be sure that

00:11:31.860 they're reporting 100% accurately on the vote recounts? Here's the CBC. They spent all day crying

00:11:37.940 how wonderful it is to have Harris and Biden. They're tears of joy, I mean. She'll go back to

00:11:43.380 being a neutral reporter right away. You bet she will. It's not even conceivable that a CBC reporter

00:11:48.340 would ever say those sorts of things about Stephen Harper or Jason Kennedy, that they were crying tears

00:11:52.540 of joy. It's just impossible, like other left-wing world leaders. Justin Trudeau was quick to

00:11:57.080 congratulate Biden on his win. Trudeau won't even say the word Trump in press conferences now. He always

00:12:01.580 hated Trump. Fair enough. I think Harper hated Obama and vice versa, but they were both growing up

00:12:06.020 enough to have worked together. Imagine all the opportunities that were wasted because Trudeau

00:12:10.080 couldn't get over himself. But we shouldn't go too fast. There was no President Dewey, despite what

00:12:17.160 the newspaper said. There was no President Gore, even though he fought for a recount for more than a

00:12:22.140 month. It hasn't even been a week for Trump, but the media has already moved on. I think the odds are

00:12:27.740 with Biden. It's harder to unrig an election than it is to rig it. And judges are naturally loath to

00:12:33.520 overturn an election, let alone a whole national presidential election. But who knows? I mean,

00:12:37.340 Joe Biden has been around for 50 years. And you know what they say? Friends come and go, but enemies

00:12:42.080 accumulate. Here's some of his.

00:12:44.780 Anybody who runs for the Supreme Court or is appointed to the Supreme Court to be more precise

00:12:48.620 should understand. I have not made my judgment based upon this proceeding because we have not heard

00:12:58.260 all the evidence. As a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity 0.89

00:13:06.180 blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves. That's Clarence Thomas. He's on the Supreme Court 1.00

00:13:12.280 now. Here's a couple more you might remember. So I'm going to ask you one last time. Are you willing

00:13:17.780 to ask the White House to authorize the FBI to investigate the claims that have been made against

00:13:24.400 you? Well, I'll do whatever the committee wants, of course. And I've heard you say that, but I've

00:13:28.560 not heard you answer a very specific question that's been asked, which is, are you willing

00:13:34.720 to ask the White House to conduct an investigation by the FBI to get to whatever you believe is the

00:13:43.540 bottom of the allegations that have been levied against you? The FBI would gather witness statements.

00:13:50.480 You have the witness statements. I don't want to debate with you how they do their business. I'm

00:13:55.800 just asking, are you willing to ask the White House to conduct such an investigation? Because

00:14:01.520 as you are aware, the FBI did conduct a background investigation into you before we were aware of

00:14:09.680 these most recent allegations. So are you willing to ask the White House to do that? And say yes or

00:14:13.700 no, and then we can move on. We've had six background investigations over 26 years.

00:14:18.000 As it relates to the recent allegations, are you willing to have them do it?

00:14:21.580 The witness testimony is before you, no witness who was there supports that I was there.

00:14:28.960 Okay, I'm going to take that as a no and we can move on. To both be friends with some women 0.99

00:14:34.740 and treat other women badly. Did you watch Dr. Ford's testimony?

00:14:40.900 I did not. I planned to. I planned to. I planned to, but I did not. I was preparing mine.

00:14:49.320 That's Brett Kavanaugh. He's on the Supreme Court now. And then there's Amy Coney Barrett.

00:14:53.080 To ensure the fitness of nominees for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench or to any of the

00:14:58.480 other positions for any of the committees on which they appear. I ask each nominee these two

00:15:05.120 questions and I will ask them of you. Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted

00:15:11.180 requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?

00:15:17.920 No, Senator Hirono.

00:15:19.480 Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to this kind of conduct?

00:15:25.120 No, Senator.

00:15:26.280 She's on the Supreme Court. Now, I'm not saying these three judges will take their vengeance

00:15:29.540 on the Democrats. I think they're above that. I think they're better people.

00:15:33.760 I'm just saying Biden is not yet the president-elect. Despite what the CBC says, the Electoral College

00:15:39.960 chooses the president. They haven't chosen yet. There are various states with serious lawsuits afoot.

00:15:45.540 It's not up to Trudeau or Ian Bremmer or Michelle Obama or Stephen King or the CBC to decide.

00:15:50.440 It's up to Americans through their constitution. As our friend Joel Pollack put it,

00:15:54.380 Donald Trump got more people to the polls than anyone in history.

00:15:59.540 Joe Biden got more envelopes to the polls than anyone in history. Trouble is,

00:16:03.940 envelopes are what was counted. If I were Joe Biden, I'd sure be hoping that none of those

00:16:09.000 envelopes would be rejected by Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett. Trudeau would

00:16:15.140 hope, well, he'd probably have the same hope, I think, if he even knew what I was talking about.

00:16:20.760 Stay with us for more as we talk to Gordon Chang about China's reaction.

00:16:29.540 Welcome back. Well, even though the Electoral College has yet to formally select the next

00:16:42.140 president, the world sees that Joe Biden has the lead in terms of the vote count, and he's

00:16:48.200 certainly acting like he won. Now, some countries like Mexico and Russia have refrained from congratulating

00:16:55.820 Biden, pointing out that it is not yet final. Other countries couldn't be more delighted. We've

00:17:01.480 seen Iran make statements of delight, not so much that Biden is back, but that Trump is gone. We've

00:17:07.800 also seen that from Venezuela. And what about China, the most important geopolitical military rival

00:17:16.140 to the United States? What have they said? Are they waiting? Not at all. They are cheering and

00:17:23.040 celebrating. Joining us now to go through some of their public statements is our friend Gordon G.

00:17:29.660 Chang, the author of The Coming Collapse of China. You can find a link to that on Amazon below this

00:17:36.540 video. Gordon, it's great to see you. China has this wolf, this lone wolf, this aggressive, 0.96

00:17:46.600 combative style of diplomacy. They have not been very diplomatic in the last few days, have they?

00:17:53.640 They're dunking on Trump, aren't they? Yes. The Global Times, which is controlled by the Communist

00:18:00.320 Party's People's Daily, has actually gone after Trump. The most interesting thing that they've said

00:18:06.900 in the last 48 hours is that they're concerned about what they call the final madness of the Trump

00:18:13.320 administration. In other words, last minute actions meant to make sure that President Biden is not able

00:18:19.680 to reverse Trump's China policies. So there has actually been quite a lot of commentary in the

00:18:26.360 Global Times and other media. Interestingly, Ezra, the foreign ministry, which is official, has yet to say

00:18:34.240 anything. So they've sidestepped questions about congratulating Biden on his victory. And that is,

00:18:42.740 to me, a mystery. That is very interesting because, of course, there is no free and independent press

00:18:48.520 in China. The Global Times, which you mentioned, is an English language media that is really the

00:18:54.380 unofficial voice of the Communist Party. We have a tweet from Global Times. I'd like to put that on the

00:18:58.660 screen just for a second. In his last 70 days in the White House, Donald Trump has no resources to

00:19:06.460 allow him to stir up trouble. As Chinese experts suggest, he won't be able to provoke military

00:19:12.380 conflicts with China. But surprises could rear up, such as a ban on WeChat and TikTok. It's interesting

00:19:20.160 that that's what they're worried about. I wonder what other things they could do. They could

00:19:24.340 declare certain diplomats' persona non grata. They could do agreements with Taiwan. What are some

00:19:31.920 of the things that Trump could do in the next two months to cement his China policy that would be

00:19:38.500 tough for Biden to undo? Well, I think that a couple things. So, for instance, the Justice

00:19:46.640 Department could declare China's Communist Party to be a transnational criminal organization

00:19:51.580 and maybe even prosecuted under the RICO statute. Racketeer influence corrupt organizations.

00:19:58.660 That would be difficult because, essentially, for Biden, he'd then have to come into office and say,

00:20:03.460 no, I'm not prosecuting them for money laundering or selling fentanyl or whatever.

00:20:10.120 With WeChat and with TikTok, I think those would also be difficult to undo, largely because,

00:20:17.440 you know, once you unplug an app, it's going to be difficult for them to come back.

00:20:24.760 Of course, though, there is the possibility of a deal with Oracle and Walmart. I don't think that

00:20:30.380 deal will go through, Ezra, because the Communist Party doesn't want to give up control of the

00:20:34.800 algorithm, which TikTok has been using to try to inflame American political opinion.

00:20:39.820 And there are a number of chip bans that could be imposed on Huawei Technologies, the Chinese

00:20:46.780 telecom equipment manufacturer. So there's a whole range of things that the Trump administration could

00:20:52.860 do. And that would really put Biden in a predicament, should he try to undo those actions.

00:20:59.240 You know, the comment by Global Times implies that Trump is a warmonger. In fact, I think the opposite is

00:21:04.600 probably closer to the truth. In the last four years, he has started no new wars. He's built up

00:21:11.120 America's military in terms of equipment, and he's got NATO to spend more. But I don't think he's been

00:21:16.760 a provocateur. I don't think he's been looking for fights. He's brought some troops back. I think that

00:21:21.000 might be Chinese paranoia or Chinese excuseology for their belligerence. I just don't see Trump doing

00:21:29.940 anything dramatic on the military side. That's just not anything he's done. But could he do something

00:21:35.380 on the intelligence side? I've seen calls in recent days for Trump to declassify anything ranging from

00:21:43.380 the Russia collusion investigations to even declassifying things about Julian Assange. Do you

00:21:49.300 think there's any information Trump could declassify that would shock Americans as to the degree to which

00:21:56.840 the Chinese Communist Party is infiltrating academia, politics, fundraising? Because, you know,

00:22:02.860 that's a bell that couldn't be unrung. If those secrets that I bet you the FBI and the CIA has,

00:22:09.680 if Trump were just to make those public for the world to see, maybe that's something Trump could do.

00:22:15.440 Yes. I mean, there's always been the suggestions, and we've heard these for the last couple months,

00:22:19.500 about declassifying some of that information. And I think Trump could very well do that. And as you

00:22:27.820 say, once it's out in the public domain, you can't reclassify it. So, yes, definitely, that's a

00:22:35.000 possibility. And on your earlier point, yeah, Trump has not been warlike. He's been doing his best to

00:22:41.060 avoid conflict with other nations. And so, you know, when China talks about Trump invading Taiwan,

00:22:47.360 invading China or whatever, that's just ridiculous. That's just a projection of what the Chinese would 1.00

00:22:53.620 do if the situations were reversed. Yeah, that's a very good observation.

00:23:00.180 There are some countries, I told you some of the countries that are cheering for Joe Biden, but I think

00:23:05.160 that there are countries that are a little bit scared right now. I think the three Arab countries

00:23:09.360 that recently made peace with Israel might be worried that America is going to side with Iran again.

00:23:15.380 And I think Taiwan has got to be near the top of the list because China has been so bellicose about

00:23:21.720 Taiwan. And I don't know how strong the remaining Hong Kong democracy movement is. They've been

00:23:28.500 crushed in a number of ways. Is there anything Trump could do or say or agreements or declarations

00:23:36.020 it could make to give support to Taiwan and Hong Kong that might last longer than his next two months,

00:23:42.440 assuming he is replaced by Joe Biden? I'm putting aside for a moment that there are lawsuits challenging

00:23:49.460 the results. But is there anything Trump could do for Hong Kong and Taiwan that would persist beyond 70

00:23:54.820 days? Yeah. With Hong Kong, he could actually start sanctioning banks that have commercial relations

00:24:01.460 with individuals who have previously been sanctioned under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.

00:24:06.800 And that, of course, would have lasting effect. On Taiwan, there's not much more that Trump can do. He's

00:24:15.020 already approved some important arms sale packages. The Biden administration could always undo those,

00:24:22.720 but it would take a big political costs for those types of actions. So, you know, I think that Taiwan

00:24:30.600 is in a pretty good position right now, especially because across the aisle in the U.S., there is support

00:24:36.820 for Taiwan. The one big question for Taiwan, though, is Biden has always viewed the island republic as a

00:24:45.180 subset of China relations and so is willing to sort of bargain it away because he wants, for instance,

00:24:50.780 you know, something else like climate change. So that is a risk. But it's a risk which I think that,

00:24:57.060 you know, Taiwan's friends could be able to mitigate.

00:25:03.280 Now, I have one last question. You're very generous with your time, Gordon. And by the way,

00:25:06.620 if you're not following Gordon yet, please do. I learned so much about China from Gordon. He's at

00:25:11.260 Gordon G. Chang on Twitter, and he's one of my handful of must follows. One of the things that I know

00:25:18.420 has been of interest to a lot of people is Huawei. It really is a Chinese equivalent to Google in

00:25:24.540 terms of its sophistication. In some ways, I think it's even ahead of Google in artificial intelligence

00:25:31.060 and things like that. There are real and genuine concerns based on science and security worries about

00:25:41.200 Huawei building the 5G systems of the West, the telecom, internet, phone, the deep infrastructure.

00:25:48.820 Some of the countries in the world have said no Huawei. Canada is still on the fence.

00:25:53.340 Are you at all worried that if Biden becomes president, that Huawei will be able to inject itself

00:26:02.200 into Western infrastructure? Or has Biden, I don't know where he stands on Huawei. I know

00:26:08.220 that Susan Rice, Obama's national security spokesman, was often against Huawei. So I'll give

00:26:14.180 them credit for that. Do you know where Biden is on that question?

00:26:17.380 He didn't talk about it at all. You know, there's a couple of issues with regard to Huawei. I mean,

00:26:22.680 there's the clean network initiative of the State Department to make sure that countries don't buy

00:26:28.100 equipment from Huawei and ZTE, which is another Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer.

00:26:34.060 Also, you know, there's the issue of chip sales. And President Trump has actually progressively

00:26:41.980 tightened down on chip sales to Huawei. I'm sure that's going to be at the top of Beijing's wish

00:26:47.680 list when they talk to the new administration. I hope that this is one area where Biden will stand

00:26:54.820 firm. And I think that he probably will, because he'd pay a big political price for giving in on chip

00:27:01.380 sales. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see because, of course, in the last few weeks,

00:27:05.360 as Hunter Biden's laptop became a story, at least for conservative media. Now, the mainstream media

00:27:11.100 really didn't pick up that story. It'll be interesting if Biden feels gun shy about China

00:27:17.040 issues because of that, or if he's brazen and saying, you know what, you didn't stop me before.

00:27:22.200 I'm not going to hesitate now. I notice that Hunter Biden has made public appearances again.

00:27:26.380 I guess we'll find out in the weeks ahead. Gordon, it's great to see you again. I know you're

00:27:29.680 so busy. There's so much to cover, so we'll let you go. But thank you so much for bringing your

00:27:33.580 wisdom to us, as you do so often. Well, thank you so much, Ezra. I really appreciate it.

00:27:38.280 Right on. Well, it's our pleasure. There you have it. Gordon G. Chang on Twitter. You can buy his book,

00:27:42.540 The Coming Collapse of China, at the Amazon link below this video. Stay with us. More ahead. 0.90

00:27:47.440 Hey, welcome back to my monologue Friday on what happens if Trump loses. Bruce writes,

00:28:04.820 if Trump loses, it's the end of civilization as we know it. America is the last frontier of freedom

00:28:09.220 on planet Earth. George Soros will get his wish to turn the world into hell for the

00:28:14.540 proles and heaven for the elites. You know, I think that Biden will probably manage to hold on

00:28:22.620 to what he stole. You could see that the Republicans picked up a bunch of seats in the House,

00:28:28.320 which shows that people aren't thrilled with Biden. What it turns on in so many ways, I think,

00:28:33.880 is Georgia, where they have a runoff for the Senate. I think it's so important that the Senate be in the

00:28:39.280 hands of the opposition to slow down and stop some of the more insane things of Joe Biden.

00:28:44.200 If the Democrats grab Georgia, then I think it could be as bad as you say.

00:28:50.460 David writes, if Trump is banned from Twitter, he and the new resistance will regroup on

00:28:54.680 Parler, and Twitter will take the biggest hit in its history. Well, you know, we're on Parler. It's

00:29:00.540 another social media. It's a little unwieldy if you like Twitter, but it'll come along.

00:29:05.080 Trouble is, everything sits on a deeper structure, a deeper foundation on the internet. You've got a

00:29:10.840 website, and it sits on a DNS server, and you need a PayPal or a bank. There's so many things,

00:29:18.580 and it's all resting on, I don't know, some Amazon system underneath it. Unless you own your structure

00:29:25.120 all the way down, and unless you've got a financial structure that can't be taken away by the credit

00:29:31.480 card companies or PayPal or Stripe, you are vulnerable. Parler, just like Gab, just like

00:29:38.620 any of the other media, are vulnerable to someone upon whom they rely for internet infrastructure.

00:29:45.060 I don't even know the terminology. I just know that every website, every host is built on something

00:29:49.940 else. You frankly need your own bank. You probably need your own country to truly be immune from

00:29:57.800 censorship. Sean writes, he's already lost. Long live democracy, the PRC, and death to Alberta's

00:30:04.880 oil and gas. Yeah, you know, that's certainly Joe Biden's view, and Rachel Notley's and Justin

00:30:11.980 Trudeau's, they're all cheering for Joe Biden. Me, I think that, I think things are going to be tough

00:30:18.700 for the next four years if Biden gets it. And if Trump can pull it under the fire, well, better board up

00:30:24.900 those shops again. That's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at

00:30:29.880 Rebel World Headquarters, you know, good night. Keep fighting for freedom.
