00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today I go through, I skip ahead a couple months and say, all right, so let's just
00:00:05.480 take a scenario where Donald Trump loses, whether he loses fair or loses rigged. Let's say he loses.
00:00:12.560 What will America be like when he's gone? What will the world be like? What will China think?
00:00:20.100 What will Iran think in Israel? What will oil and gas drillers in Pennsylvania think? What will
00:00:25.240 Cuban and Venezuelans in Miami think? I'll go through the whole thing and we'll talk to Ben
00:00:31.000 Weingarten too. That's all I had. Before I get there, let me invite you to become a Rebel News Plus

00:00:51.960 podcast.
00:00:55.240 Tonight, what will happen if Trump loses? It's November 6th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:15.160 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:18.640 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have
00:01:23.920 to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:28.860 I don't believe Trump lost the election. I think he won the election until the Democrats saw that and
00:01:39.000 panicked and literally stopped the vote counting on election night until they could rig it. Have you
00:01:44.140 ever heard of counting just stopping before it's done and then sending everybody home, leaving the
00:01:50.340 ballots all alone? Oh, and then presto, just finding tens or hundreds of thousands of new ballots.
00:01:55.560 What are the odds to believe that they're all for Joe Biden? I mean 100%, not even 99%. Even Saddam Hussein 0.99
00:02:05.160 only claimed 99%. But 100% to believe that is real is to believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.
00:02:13.400 But let's stop arguing about recounts and lawsuits and challenges. It's hard to keep up. Personally,
00:02:18.260 I think the Democrats are going to steal it. It's what they're best at. They rigged the rules as hard
00:02:23.640 as they could. And then they took those rigged rules and bent them as far as they could and broke them
00:02:28.400 where they could. Here's Attorney General William Barr on this a few months back.
00:02:32.420 This is, you know, reckless. Well, this is a, you know, sort of cheap talk to get around the
00:02:40.020 fundamental problem, which is the bipartisan commission chaired by Jimmy Carter and James
00:02:45.480 Baker said back in 2009 that mail-in voting is fraught with the risk of fraud and coercion.
00:02:54.200 Since then, there have been a lot of investigations that have improved it.
00:02:57.980 Let me talk. Yeah, please.
00:02:59.780 And since this, since that time, there have been in the newspapers, in networks, academic studies
00:03:07.520 saying it is open to fraud and coercion. The only time the narrative changed is after this
00:03:14.240 administration came in. But elections that have been held with mail have found substantial fraud
00:03:20.240 and coercion. For example, we indicted someone in Texas, 1,700 ballots collected from people who
00:03:27.340 could vote. He made them out and voted for the person he wanted to. OK, because that kind of
00:03:33.980 thing happens with mail-in ballots and everyone knows that there are individuals, cases. But as far
00:03:39.220 as widespread fraud, we haven't seen that since. Well, we have we haven't had the kind of widespread
00:03:44.480 use of mail-in ballots as being proposed. We've had absentee ballots from people who request them
00:03:49.680 from a specific address. Now what we're talking about is mailing them to everyone on the voter
00:03:55.260 list when everyone knows those voter lists are inaccurate. People who should get them don't get
00:04:00.020 them, which is what has been one of the major complaints in states that have tried this in
00:04:04.660 municipal elections. And people who get them are not the right people. They're people who have
00:04:11.380 replaced the previous occupant and they can make them out. And sometimes multiple ballots come to the
00:04:16.380 same address with a whole generation several generations of occupants. Do you think that's
00:04:20.920 a way to run a vote? Well, the only thing I'm saying is that so far we haven't seen widespread
00:04:25.860 fraud. But so far we haven't tried it. Well, the point is that a lot of us there are several states
00:04:31.740 that only have mail-in voting, including a Republican. Well, this is playing with fire.
00:04:36.120 This is playing with fire. We're a very closely divided country here. And if people have to have
00:04:41.440 confidence in the results of the election and the legitimacy of the government,
00:04:44.760 and people trying to change the rules to this methodology, which as a matter of logic is very
00:04:51.420 open to fraud and coercion, is reckless and dangerous. And people are playing with fire.
00:04:57.680 Yeah, that happened. I mean, who literally boards up windows while they're counting votes so it can
00:05:04.540 be done in secret? That's nuts. That's life in Democrat-run cities, though. Here's the governor of Texas,
00:05:10.940 the second largest state, pointing out he managed to get it all counted the night of with plenty of
00:05:16.320 scrutineers. Huge state. Why can't a city like Philadelphia get it counted? Well, of course it
00:05:21.940 can, but they weren't counting. They were rigging. And to do that, you have to wait to see how many
00:05:27.020 votes Trump was going to get fairly so you know how many more you have to find. But enough, let's assume
00:05:32.680 the tricksters win, the hucksters, the lawyers, the liars, the corrupt ones. I think they probably will
00:05:37.960 win. It's their expertise. They don't have a sense of fair play. You know that because they were talking
00:05:42.920 about doing whatever it took just a few weeks ago when Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed as a judge,
00:05:48.220 perfectly legal, perfectly constitutional. But the Democrats, even back then, were talking about
00:05:53.040 changing the rules, packing the courts, destroying their non-partisan nature of the courts. I've never
00:05:57.980 heard Republicans do that, say that, not even after they lose. Like in the 2008 and 2012 presidential
00:06:03.680 elections, Democrats do it all the time. And now they might win and have the chance. So what next?
00:06:09.820 On election night, the Chinese currency plunged briefly for the hours that it appeared Donald
00:06:16.140 Trump was going to win. That tells you something, doesn't it? And American stocks rose during that
00:06:20.780 time. That tells you something. But that's over now. Now China is celebrating. They can't help 0.83
00:06:25.680 themselves. Here's Chen Weihua from China Daily.
00:06:29.060 I believe I won't tweet nearly as much as in the past two years, starting January 20th, because I don't
00:06:35.860 have to reply to Trump and Pompeo's daily slander on China. I don't expect Biden and his future
00:06:41.540 Secretary of State, whoever he or she is, to be that type of lowlife. So that's an official Chinese 1.00
00:06:49.260 government newspaper. That's the Chinese government celebrating the win. Same with this guy, Hu Xijin.
00:06:54.800 Various articles introducing Biden's life have become popular on the Internet in China. The tragedy
00:07:01.880 of him losing close family members has aroused sympathy among Chinese people. His failed bids for
00:07:07.260 presidency in the past have also helped create an image of a tenacious man.
00:07:13.160 They're just letting Joe Biden know he's well-loved in China. He and his son are welcome back any time to
00:07:18.320 do business. And the big guy can take as much commission as he wants. And if you don't know what I'm
00:07:23.740 talking about, it's because you're relying on the mainstream media, which did not report the
00:07:27.840 Hunter Biden laptop scandal. By the way, Iran is pretty excited, too. Here's a story from Breitbart.
00:07:35.320 Iran, Western hegemony is over as U.S. no longer controls the world. The U.S. government no longer
00:07:41.020 controls what's happening in the world, the Iranian foreign minister said on Thursday, hours after
00:07:45.520 Iranian President Hassan Rouhani predicted the next administration in Washington would
00:07:49.300 surrender to the Islamic Republic and revert to the nuclear deal. Referring to Donald Trump as
00:07:55.360 the gentleman in the White House, Rouhani said the president ruthlessly increased sanctions on Tehran,
00:08:00.960 essentially declaring economic war while the country battled against the COVID-19 crisis. Yeah,
00:08:05.900 so China and Iran are pretty pumped right now. I'd be scared if I were, say, Taiwan, Israel,
00:08:13.960 the three Muslim countries that just made peace with Israel. I'd be scared if I believed a strong 1.00
00:08:20.020 NATO was necessary because, you know, they're going to backslide immediately with Biden there
00:08:24.540 instead of Trump. If I were ISIS, I'd think about rebuilding. Remember, Obama and Biden let ISIS run 0.82
00:08:30.340 a whole country for years. Trump mopped them up in a matter of weeks. If I were Putin, I'd be thinking
00:08:36.140 about eating some neighborhood countries again. If I were North Korea, I'd start lobbing some missiles
00:08:42.420 again. I mean, why not? Biden didn't do anything as vice president. Why would he do anything now?
00:08:47.200 I'd be worried if I were in the fracking business or anyone in oil and gas or pipelines or drilling.
00:08:52.640 Okay, I have one final question. Would he close down the oil industry? It falls.
00:08:55.900 Would you close down the oil industry? By the way, I would transition from the oil industry, yes.
00:09:00.340 Oh, that's a big statement. I would transition. It is a big statement.
00:09:03.040 That's a big statement. Because I would stop. Why would you do that?
00:09:05.460 Because the oil industry pollutes significantly. I see. Here's the deal.
00:09:10.480 That's a big statement. Well, if you let me finish the statement,
00:09:13.820 because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time, over time. And I'd stop giving
00:09:20.100 to the oil industry. I'd stop giving them federal subsidies. He won't give federal subsidies to the
00:09:25.780 gas, excuse me, to solar and wind. Why are we giving it to the oil industry?
00:09:32.800 We actually do give it to solar and wind. And that's maybe the biggest statement in terms of
00:09:36.820 business. That's the biggest statement. Okay. Because basically what he's saying is he is
00:09:40.580 going to destroy the oil industry. Will you remember that Texas? Will you remember that
00:09:46.240 Pennsylvania, Oklahoma? Vice President Biden.
00:09:48.340 That's no good. I mean, do you really think the Keystone XL pipeline is going to go through now?
00:09:52.900 Do you think Trudeau is going to fight for it? Just kidding. So yeah, more bad news for Alberta.
00:09:58.020 Bad news for the police. The defunding police people are in charge. Good news for Antifa. The
00:10:05.840 defunding police people are in charge. Don't think you can protect yourself, though. Biden
00:10:10.780 has made it clear he's going to do away with the guns as far as he can.
00:10:14.860 Here's what he wrote just last weekend. It's long past time we take action to end the scourge of gun
00:10:19.960 violence in America. As President, I'll ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines,
00:10:24.480 implement universal background checks, and enact other common sense reforms to end our gun violence
00:10:29.640 epidemic. That won't stop gun crimes in, say, Chicago. But those black lives don't matter to 1.00
00:10:36.320 Democrats, it seems. Latinos loved Trump, or more precisely, Latinos from Cuba and Venezuela
00:10:43.920 who didn't want to see socialism again. So, um, I see a lot of punishments coming for them.
00:10:50.900 Watch for lots of love shown to those communist regimes by Biden. Maybe another trip to Cuba like
00:10:56.980 Obama did. Maybe a trip to Caracas, too. But the main thing is domestic politics. They'll move to make
00:11:04.320 the steal permanent. Pack the courts by adding half a dozen Democrat judges to ensure they'll win any 0.94
00:11:10.480 challenges to anything else they do. Use executive orders for anything and everything, from mask
00:11:15.400 mandates to enforcing transgender extremism. That was a big thing for Biden and the Democrats.
00:11:21.160 I'm so sorry. I don't want to take this away from you, but let me tell you something. Black trans 0.99
00:11:26.240 women are being killed in this country. And CNN, you have erased black trans women for the last time.
00:11:32.260 Let me tell you something. Black trans women are dying. Our lives matter. I am an extraordinary
00:11:38.640 black trans woman. And I deserve to be here. My black trans sisters that are here. I am tired. I am so tired. I'm just sitting there. And it's not just my black trans women.
00:11:49.480 It's my black trans brothers, too. And I'm going to say what I'm going to say. I'm going to say what I'm going to say.
00:11:54.480 No, no, no. Come here. No, no. I just want to ask you something. Come here. Tell me. Come here. I want you to talk. What's your name?
00:11:59.320 I'm Blossom C. Brown. Blossom. Let me ask.
00:12:01.360 Google me. Blossom.
00:12:02.660 Please Google me.
00:12:03.520 Blossom, thank you. Let me tell you something. Let me. No, don't come on the stage. Don't come on the stage. May I have the mic?
00:12:09.380 Okay.
00:12:09.820 May I have the mic? Blossom, let me tell you something. The reason that we're here is to validate people like you.
00:12:15.840 That is why we're giving. But that is why we're here. Okay. But I...
00:12:21.460 Not one black trans woman has taken the mic tonight. Not one black trans man has taken the mic tonight.
00:12:27.240 Yeah. Yeah. Hang on. We can't hear you. Blossom, we can't hear you. Here. Blossom, we can't hear you.
00:12:33.260 Baby, your actions have to speak louder than words because guess what? Not one black trans woman has taken the mic tonight.
00:12:39.180 Not one black trans man has taken the mic tonight. Show me.
00:12:43.980 Blossom. Blossom.
00:12:45.100 Okay. Thank you. I appreciate it. Blossom, you're a black trans woman. You have the mic in your hand. 0.80
00:12:49.680 I've given... I've taken and given it back to you. We want to hear from you.
00:12:52.620 We have had trans people of color. We've had all people here. And you're welcome.
00:12:56.020 But we... But we are proud and happy that you're here.
00:12:59.840 We're proud and happy that you're here. Yes. But remember, we are on our time constraint.
00:13:03.800 All right. Thank you, Blossom. And I appreciate it.
00:13:05.280 Yeah. That's how anti-blackness works amongst people of color.
00:13:10.000 That's what anti-blackness looks like. The erasure of black trans people.
00:13:14.100 All right.
00:13:15.160 I'm here. We're here in this room. Please give us that opportunity.
00:13:18.580 Blossom, thank you so much.
00:13:19.480 I don't know why Trump didn't go harder on that issue. If Biden wins, you'll see women's 1.00
00:13:23.740 and girls' sports pretty much snuffed out in five years, I predict, as any boys and men
00:13:28.140 who can't hack it on the boys' team. The second raiders, they go to beat the girls by saying
00:13:34.020 they're trans. You bet they will.
00:13:35.840 It's true the U.S. economy is roaring right now. Huge, V-shaped recovery, as they call
00:13:42.360 it. But you put Kamala Harris in the vice president's chair, and she'll be the de facto president 1.00
00:13:47.660 in a few months. You know she will. And you've got a poison pill to make every capitalist put
00:13:52.320 their plans on the shelf for a while. I mean, seriously, she put this video up on the internet
00:13:56.200 just a few days ago in her closing argument on the election. She'll give not just socialism,
00:14:02.140 but full-out communism. Watch for yourself. This is her whole ad.
00:14:06.560 So there's a big difference between equality and equity. Equality suggests, oh, everyone
00:14:12.120 should get the same amount. The problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the
00:14:16.960 same place. So if we're all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and
00:14:21.280 I started out over here, we can get the same amount, but you're still going to be that far
00:14:24.980 behind me. It's about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can
00:14:33.900 be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end
00:14:41.400 up at the same place. Yeah, you see why the Cubans and Venezuelans didn't vote for her. 0.96
00:14:54.100 Neither did people in Michigan or Pennsylvania or Wisconsin or Arizona or Nevada or Georgia, but
00:14:58.320 there's enough trickery on the ground there to make up for that. Trump had huge rallies, massive,
00:15:05.280 tens of thousands of people at a time, and he had five rallies a day near the end. Biden had just a
00:15:11.940 few weird social distancing circles. He campaigned for maybe half an hour a day, but he didn't need
00:15:17.140 to campaign because it's not who casts the vote. It's who counts the votes. Silly. What a shame for
00:15:26.520 America and for the world. Stay with us for more.
00:15:35.280 Well, if you tuned in to watch our almost nine hour broadcast on Tuesday night, the night of the
00:15:49.980 U.S. presidential election, you will know our next guest, Ben Weingarten, a fellow at the Claremont
00:15:55.280 Institute, a columnist with Newsweek, and he was our in the states expert. I should tell you before we go
00:16:01.580 to Ben today that Justin Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster reported 378,000 viewers on Tuesday
00:16:11.460 night, 378,000. I can tell you that YouTube records that we had 308,000 viewers, a little bit less than
00:16:22.460 the CBC, but then again, we get a little bit less cash from the taxpayer than them too, don't you think?
00:16:28.040 Well, here's Ben joining us now again via Skype. Ben, good to see you. I hope you had a chance to
00:16:32.660 catch up on your sleep or have you been staying up late each night with the shenanigans of the vote
00:16:38.340 counting and miscounting and ballot packing? What do you make of the last few days?
00:16:45.320 I must admit, it's been a few sleepless nights on my end and really for reasons that transcend
00:16:52.140 this particular election and sort of the demoralizing turn of events where it feels as if
00:17:01.400 defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory in some respects. And I think really my main sort of
00:17:10.200 depression stems from the fact that had this been a normal election where most people voted in person
00:17:16.940 as they always do, therefore mitigating the chance of fraud, where there were substantial
00:17:22.640 regulations and rules put in place in terms of authentication and verification of who the person
00:17:29.140 is, like a photo ID, for example. And the president had lost on election night or shortly thereafter.
00:17:36.360 Every conservative in the country would have accepted it, obviously grudgingly and with much
00:17:42.280 consternation, et cetera. But the way this went down, the process by which it has gone down is
00:17:48.320 something where the confidence in the integrity of our electoral system has been shaken in the minds
00:17:54.540 of about half the country, in almost the minds of almost 70 million Americans. And that's something
00:17:59.120 that we're not going to be able to recover from in the near term and maybe ever. And so that is really
00:18:03.980 what I find to be the most painful aspect of this. Obviously, we don't know how the election is going to
00:18:10.520 shake out. But even if the president ultimately prevails and sort of runs the table with respect
00:18:15.260 to the litigation that's currently underway and the recounts and the like, and it's certainly
00:18:19.820 possible, certainly within the realm of probability, the bottom line is that our faith in the system
00:18:25.100 will never be restored, I don't believe, after what transpired. And that's something that will make
00:18:31.040 this if Joe Biden, so Joe Biden, I'd put in air quotes, but the Biden-Harris ticket does enter the
00:18:37.320 office. In some respects, it'll be a Pyrrhic victory for them because half of the country
00:18:41.120 will never feel that this is fully legitimate. Yeah. Well, I only disagree with a single letter
00:18:46.840 you said. You talked about a broken system, but I would say broken systems because it's one thing
00:18:52.820 to have clearly anomalies. 23,000 votes suddenly found and exactly 23,000 out of 23,000 are for Biden,
00:19:02.740 not a single one for Trump. So it looks like the steal is happening so brazenly, but that's because
00:19:10.340 other systems are broken too. Media skepticism, media curiosity, social media where ordinary people
00:19:19.100 can share things. I was scrolling through the president's Twitter feed and about 50% of his
00:19:24.220 comments are being blocked by Twitter. It used to be the politicians censored the media. Now the media
00:19:30.040 is censoring the politician. And so I think that what's so demoralizing for me, and I'm not even
00:19:34.880 an American, I'm just a fan from abroad, is that the voting rules are broken, but the other checks
00:19:42.260 and balances that ought to be there and certainly would be there if, God forbid, it were Republicans
00:19:46.820 trying to steal the vote, the media, the judges, the law professors, every other force in society,
00:19:53.340 they're colluding with the great steal. That's just as depressing to me is to read journalists
00:20:01.260 saying, oh, look at Trump. He just won't go quietly. He's the one with the coup. That's what's,
00:20:07.320 that's what's terrifying to me is the unanimity and the, the collusion amongst the entire establishment.
00:20:13.940 That's what it looks like to me. Yeah. And it sort of makes us a one party state in effect. And I,
00:20:21.140 I incorporate into the state, not just the federal bureaucracy that 99% hates the president or the
00:20:27.800 vast majority of the legislative branch or most of the judges in the country, but then to your point,
00:20:33.440 the corporations, media, big tech, the academy, entertainment, all of it follows the same line,
00:20:42.240 even whether you're Republican or Democrat falling in that establishment, it's the same thing. They all
00:20:47.780 hate him. They hate what the president represents. They hate the millions of people who adore him and
00:20:52.640 the others who vote for him as in effect, a giant middle finger to the establishment that so looks
00:20:58.580 down upon them. And I think I'm working on something on this that I might publish, uh, really
00:21:04.620 president Trump of his many achievements, perhaps the greatest achievement of all has been an exposing
00:21:11.320 the rot and corruption in our system. And he's exposed that rot and corruption because the
00:21:16.700 establishment that so hates him exposed itself in its willingness to destroy all the institutions
00:21:22.660 that they claim to be defending to try to take him down. So this is just one more act in the perpetual
00:21:28.160 coup that's been undertaken against him, but it's really not about him. It's really about the millions
00:21:33.040 of people who support him and what he represents, which is an anti-establishment outsider, blue collar
00:21:39.760 billionaire who is brash, who's essentially pro-American, patriotic, traditional. And his sole ethos is
00:21:46.400 American greatness, making America great again. It's not conservatism or libertarianism or progressivism
00:21:53.080 or anything else. It's let's make the country better. Let's live in the same traditional place
00:21:57.860 where we believe in family and country and, and American workers and putting our troops and their
00:22:05.000 families first. And that's a message that clearly resounded with millions of people. And it's not going
00:22:10.360 away after this, if anything, the millions of people who love and adore the president and who feel
00:22:15.500 scorned by this establishment that looks down upon them, if anything, are going to feel even more
00:22:20.460 scorned and more motivated to want to go out there and express themselves and probably run for office.
00:22:26.220 And so this movement's not going away. And even if the Republican establishment would like to see it
00:22:31.120 go away, it's not in their political interest to, because they all rode as coattails during this
00:22:35.740 election. But more to the point, there are millions of people out there who have been activated in a way
00:22:40.420 that's unique in American history. He's been a unique force. I hope that force will continue for
00:22:45.620 the next four years. But even if it doesn't, it's still going to exist in the American political
00:22:50.500 scene. And that's for the good of the country, in my view. Yeah, it's like the Tea Party squared on so
00:22:55.840 many things. It's like the Tea Party, but for regulation and media and censorship. And I mean,
00:23:03.380 it's so large. You know, I want to come back to your point about the scorn. And you're right. A lot
00:23:09.940 of the Republican establishment that were happy to reap the benefits from Trump have been quite silent
00:23:18.180 these past few days. But I just want to show you a couple of things that caught my eye. Late night
00:23:24.600 TV comedy hosts, now I know I shouldn't pay any attention to them, but they are at the apex of our
00:23:31.180 society enjoying everything. The wealth, the technology, the freedom, and the dripping, abusive
00:23:39.400 condescension. I mean, here's just a quick clip of Jimmy Kimmel showing how deeply Americans have
00:23:47.300 disappointed him and how he overestimated Americans. Here, take a look at this clip.
00:23:53.080 I mean, what more did Donald Trump have to do to show us that he's insane and not fit to lead this
00:24:02.240 country? I feel like I overestimated the American people and I underestimated the village people.
00:24:08.720 I mean, that's just one example of a hundred. And I think the problem is the elites, if they can't
00:24:16.960 convince the people, they'll just get a new people. And that, what I'm worried about is if
00:24:23.160 Biden and Harris take the White House, they may not have the horses in Congress to get major things
00:24:31.300 passed, but they can make certain executive decisions. And one of them may be, I mean, you would
00:24:37.340 know the constitution better than me, the mass naturalization or normalization or amnesty
00:24:42.840 of literally tens of millions of aliens who would obviously vote for the welfare state Democrats.
00:24:49.940 And if you can't beat them, just, you know, if you can't make Texas blue, just normalize and
00:24:58.000 naturalize one, two, three million migrants and you've got it. I mean, there's certain things that 0.83
00:25:02.620 are unchangeable, like a ratchet you can't move back. Am I too pessimistic?
00:25:07.820 No, if anything, it might be too optimistic to even think that a Republican Senate, to the
00:25:12.640 extent that Republicans retain the majority in the Senate, which is still a bit up in the air,
00:25:17.620 that they will even serve as a sufficient check with respect to this. Because to your point on
00:25:21.860 immigration, for example, Senator Lindsey Graham has already come out and said that he'd be looking
00:25:27.200 to work, while he'd be a reliable conservative, he'd be looking to work with a President Biden on
00:25:34.960 debt, infrastructure, and you guessed it, immigration. So that's your Republican establishment
00:25:40.820 right there already indicating acquiescence potentially to that agenda. But all that said,
00:25:47.400 the point is absolutely right, that with executive authority, a lot can happen. First of all, everything
00:25:52.800 that President Trump has done with executive authority can instantly be canceled out. And of course,
00:25:58.080 the courts won't challenge this, even though they challenged the president for trying to revoke
00:26:01.740 President Obama's executive orders. Then, of course, they can do all sorts of other things to
00:26:06.180 affirmatively use executive power and with control over all of these administrative agencies,
00:26:11.520 which serve as a fourth branch of government and which, frankly, the legislative branch has punted
00:26:16.980 all power to. It's essentially all at the administrative agencies and the Supreme Court because Congress
00:26:22.140 doesn't want to actually have to put its neck on the line to do anything and stand up for what it
00:26:27.140 purports to represent. We have major challenges that we're going to face as a consequence of executive
00:26:32.780 power. And you can foresee any of myriad things, whether it's with the woke agenda or immigration
00:26:38.440 or beyond. But certainly, immigration is probably the first point of if you're trying to ensure what
00:26:43.700 you think is going to be a permanent majority, that's right up there. You know, had they been able
00:26:47.440 to take the Senate, then you would be into the realm of court packing and New Green Deal, obviously, 0.79
00:26:54.480 and socialized medicine and mass amnesty through legislative action and D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood.
00:27:01.400 And you can keep going on the list. I mean, but but but the main point is, yes, they'll do anything
00:27:06.320 and everything they possibly can within the law and outside the law to impose their will on all of us,
00:27:11.920 because at the end of the day, they don't want any opposition. They want the opposition dead,
00:27:16.880 gone, figuratively. We've all been, you know, we're all getting thrown in an ideological gulag right now
00:27:22.960 on the big tech that they control. And it just portends terrible things for the country and anyone
00:27:28.000 around the world who believes in freedom, because this really is the last bastion of it. I mean,
00:27:32.580 I hope that there are other places. I don't want another place to be more liberal in the classical
00:27:37.700 sense than America, but we may need it because that's the direction that we're heading.
00:27:42.260 You're talking about things that can be done through executive power. You didn't even mention
00:27:46.060 foreign policy, which you can see China and Iran already celebrating.
00:27:50.560 Licking their chops. Yeah. And then even I was just thinking the EPA, how with a few strokes of a pen,
00:27:57.980 so much of Joe Biden's threat to phase out oil and gas, to to stop fracking.
00:28:06.160 I think that a lot of those things can be done, even if it's not from Biden himself,
00:28:09.880 from his appointees. I can only imagine how radical his appointees would be for certain of these agencies.
00:28:15.060 And remember, he was the vice president when the Iran deal went through. I think that I think we are
00:28:22.480 in tough times. Let me ask you this. And my monologue today, I said, all right, let's skip ahead
00:28:28.360 the next few weeks and let's assume the worst. Let's assume that Biden becomes president through
00:28:34.320 whatever means. And I tried to say, well, what will happen then? And I tried to look at foreign affairs
00:28:40.560 and the economy and things of that sort. What do you think Trump himself would do if he is
00:28:48.680 finally lost? I mean, I, I think that he would fight like hell until the absolute last minute
00:28:55.440 and then he would go. But let's say he's gone and Biden is inaugurated. What would Trump do on the
00:29:01.260 next day? I think Twitter, by the way, would actually disactivate, deactivate his account.
00:29:07.060 I think Twitter would absolutely ban him from the platform, by the way, if they could do it,
00:29:12.540 knowing he was no longer president. But what do you think he would do a day after the inauguration?
00:29:17.740 Well, the first thing is personnel. The there's an executive order that was put forth by the
00:29:24.180 president that in theory would allow him to en masse fire civil servants. So that would be my first
00:29:32.140 point would be fire as many swamp creatures as you possibly can, including senior ones and ones
00:29:38.520 down the ranks as well. And attempt, if you can, to get actual conservative anti-establishmentarian
00:29:44.120 people into these positions as soon as you can before the end. I mean, just ask yourself,
00:29:49.240 what would Democrats do in an equivalent situation? And of course, Democrats, they would have spies and
00:29:53.660 saboteurs everywhere and they'd be issuing FISA warrants probably to spy on an incoming team.
00:29:59.720 And they'd be trying to stymie the transition and laying all sorts of landmines everywhere.
00:30:04.260 So that's one thing. The second thing would be, with respect to national security and foreign policy,
00:30:09.540 lock in as many possible cords as you can that cannot easily be undone when a Biden team comes in.
00:30:17.100 And then the third thing is declassify every last document that you possibly can to shine a light
00:30:22.940 and have open transparency on all of the misdeeds and crimes that those in the Obama-Biden administration,
00:30:30.700 many of whom will be reprising their seats, would be reprising their seats in a Biden-Harris
00:30:35.300 administration, so that the American people know it all. No one should be afraid of what the truth is
00:30:41.020 in those documents. And we need to know everything about Russiagate to start with. And then the Iran
00:30:47.020 nuclear deal and many other massive scandals that transpired under an Obama-Biden administration.
00:30:53.440 The other side, of course, will say, you know, he's a dictator, he's purging everyone,
00:30:58.420 and he's trying to stymie, he doesn't want a peaceful transition of power, which is BS.
00:31:03.220 And the other side, of course, did not allow for a peaceful transition of power
00:31:06.580 for four years. And now we're trying, are close to toppling the president.
00:31:10.580 But I think that sunlight is the best disinfectant. And so the first thing I'd say,
00:31:15.900 on behalf of the American people, you deserve to know what the swamp really looks like. And I'm
00:31:19.860 going to pull back the curtain on it. And here it is. And I would declassify everything as fast as
00:31:24.000 possible. Well, these are going to be very interesting days. I am frustrated by how quickly
00:31:31.240 the Republicans in name only have abandoned the president who gave them such a successful term.
00:31:38.700 But I shouldn't be surprised. There's nothing less durable than political gratitude, is there?
00:31:47.600 Ben, it's great to talk to you again. Keep your eyes on things, and I'm sure we'll check in with
00:31:51.500 you quite frequently in the days and weeks ahead in this momentous time. Thanks for being here today.
00:31:57.580 Thanks for having me, Ezra.
00:31:58.500 All right, there you have it. Ben Weingarten, a fellow at the Claremont Institute, a columnist
00:32:02.560 with Newsweek.com, and of course, the author of American Ingrate,
00:32:06.920 The Authoritative Biography on Ilhan Omar. Stay with us. More ahead.
00:32:23.000 Hey, welcome back. Paul writes,
00:32:24.600 The Democrats cannot form a legitimate government at this point. They have zero credibility. If America
00:32:30.400 accepts this rigged election, they will never have a fair election again. Well, who? I mean,
00:32:36.380 the media has already accepted it. We'll find out if courts accept it. I'm pretty sure the 70 million
00:32:43.160 Americans who voted for Trump do not accept it. Cindy writes,
00:32:47.380 At one time I valued on what you had to say, but now you are just a mouthpiece trying to cause division
00:32:52.380 of people in the U.S. and in Canada. Before the election even started, Trump mentioned about it
00:32:57.400 ending up in the Supreme Court. He has turned the entire country into a state of chaos and the laughing
00:33:02.180 stock of the world. Suck it up, Trump, and take it like a man. Ezra, stay out of it. It's not your
00:33:07.700 country. All right, well, I have to say, I will accept a little bit of blame for causing division
00:33:16.600 in the United States. But I don't think I caused the blame by just talking to the video camera up here
00:33:25.220 in Toronto. I'm pretty sure it's Americans duking it out down there and pugnacious Trump and the
00:33:32.500 Democrats giving it. I mean, I have my opinion, but I don't think I'm going to take the blame for the
00:33:38.840 divisiveness in American politics. You know what, though? When you have a vote, it's often called
00:33:44.020 calling for a division. And there's no greater call for a division than once every four years
00:33:49.320 where every single American citizen gets to participate in the division. So I hate the
00:33:55.120 cheating, but calling for a division, that's another way of saying peacefully and democratically
00:34:01.280 making decisions, which is the best way. All right, my friends, that's the show for today.
00:34:07.560 Until Monday, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World High Borders, to you at home,
00:34:11.280 good night and keep fighting for freedom.
00:34:14.020 Thank you.
