Ezra Levant and Mark Murano critique Canadian Minister Ya'ara Saks for canceling an August 16th press conference, dodging questions about her Gaza-Israel stance and meeting with Mahmoud Abbas—whom Levant calls a "terrorist leader." They debate Elon Musk’s shift from climate alarmism to free speech advocacy, dismissing his 1,000 ppm CO2 claim as baseless while warning of China’s influence on him. Levant contrasts Saks’ avoidance with Musk’s boldness but questions whether Musk’s free speech stance is compromised by business ties. The episode underscores how political and corporate elites evade accountability while weaponizing speech restrictions, exposing a global trend of selective transparency and censorship. [Automatically generated summary]
We got a great chat with our friend Mark Murano about Elon Musk and what does he really think about global warming and carbon dioxide.
But I also want to show you what happened when David Menzies and I tried to track down a liberal cabinet minister named Yaara Sachs.
You got to see it.
I really want you to see the video version of this.
So do yourself a favor and me a favor by signing up to what we call Rebel News Plus.
Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe, it's eight bucks a month, and you'll get the video version of this podcast.
Eight bucks might not sound like a lot of money to you, but it really adds up for us.
So that's RebelNewsPlus.com.
All right, here's the podcast version of the show.
Tonight, we try and catch a liberal cabinet minister, but she runs away.
It's August 16th, and this is the Ezra Levant show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug!
Minister Runs Away00:16:05
Oh, hi everybody.
Yesterday, the funniest thing happened.
We were told that a couple of cabinet ministers were having an announcement in Toronto, not actually too far from our studio, and journalists were invited to RSVP.
And I thought, well, what the heck?
I'm pretty sure they're going to block me, but I just wrote a one-line email, RSVPing, and I was absolutely shocked to receive an email back saying, all right, you're confirmed.
See you tomorrow.
Here's the location.
And that's another interesting thing is that when the notice went out about this press conference by the cabinet ministers, they said you will be told the location when you confirm.
So I thought, wow, this is near my office.
I'm confirmed.
I'm going to go because I have a few questions for Yaara Sachs, an atrocious liberal cabinet minister.
Her official job is to be Trudeau's drug pusher.
And by that, I mean she's the pro-drug legalization cabinet minister.
Absolutely disastrous.
Nobody believes in that policy, not even the drug addicts themselves, the ones who speak candidly say, please help me get out of this mess.
Don't subsidize keeping me here.
But wouldn't you know it, as we were on our way, I was going, my colleague David Menzies, a videographer, Lincoln Jay, as we were headed towards the zone, we all got emails at the same time saying, canceled, canceled.
Well, I didn't feel like being canceled.
That's quite rude, don't you think, to invite someone to a party?
They confirm everything's tickety-boo, and then just moments beforehand, you cancel.
Well, she can't handle Rebel News.
But let me show you how it went.
And I don't know.
I think there's a larger story here.
I'll show it to you in a second because I went down there.
I did the first part and then I had to leave to come back here.
But David did the second part.
And I want to say that David Menzies, and if I can say the same about myself, the questions we generally ask politicians, they're real questions.
Like, do you remember when we asked questions when Abby Yamini and I asked questions of Albert Burla, the CEO of Pfizer?
Here's just a quick snippet of that to refresh your memory.
Mr. Boorla, can I ask you, when did you know that the vaccines didn't stop transmission?
How long did you know that without saying it publicly?
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry.
I answered that question.
I mean, we now know that the vaccines didn't stop transmission, but why did you keep it secret?
You said it was 100% effective, then 90%, then 80%, then 70%.
But we now know that the vaccines do not stop transmission.
Why did you keep that secret?
Have a nice day.
I won't have a nice day until I know the answer.
Why did you keep it a secret that your vaccine did not stop transmission?
Is it time to apologize to the world, sir?
To give refunds back to the countries that poured all their money into your vaccine that doesn't work, your ineffective vaccine.
Yeah, you have a little bit of a ragger.
Are you not ashamed of what you've done in the last couple of years?
Do you have any apologies to the public, sir?
I remember to this day some of the questions I asked Boorla.
I asked him when he knew that the vaccine didn't actually stop the transmission of the virus.
It's a pretty basic question, very factual, wouldn't you say?
I asked him about the fact that Pfizer paid at that point what was the largest fine in American history for deceitful advertising.
Asked him about that.
I don't know.
We asked some real questions.
We had a few snarky questions too, but those are questions that you would think the president of Pfizer could answer.
He could give a technical answer.
I mean, surely they weren't the first time he had heard them, but he just refused to answer them.
And I think that made him look very guilty.
Same thing goes with Yaara Sachs.
You don't have to be a pro-rebel fan.
You don't have to like Rebel to be able to handle questions from Rebel News.
And let me put it to you this way.
If you can't handle questions from Rebel News, maybe you're not fit to be part of a cabinet.
And by the way, if you recall, she was one of the cabinet ministers who went all the way to the Middle East to meet with the terrorist leader, Mahmoud Abbas.
She had no problem meeting with an actual terrorist leader, but she can't answer a couple of fairly straightforward questions from Rebel News.
I think that you should have to, not have, not be forced to, but if you are unable to answer prickly questions, don't go into public life.
And yeah, without further ado, here is our visit to Yaara Sachs and her press conference that was canceled.
Take a look.
As for Levant here for Rebel News, I am in a mall, a nondescript mall, where Yaara Sachs, perhaps the second stupidest cabinet minister in Trudeau's cabinet, had an event.
And can you believe it?
She invited me.
What are the odds?
So I accepted the invitation immediately to come, and so did my colleague David Menzies and others.
And we were on our way here this morning when we got the rudest email saying that the media invitation that we had received and answered and were confirmed, that the whole thing was canceled.
Well, that doesn't sound very friendly.
It's sort of like being invited to someone's Christmas party and then later being disinvited.
That's downright rude.
Not the sort of thing you'd expect from a cabinet minister who met with Mahmoud Abbas, the arch terrorist leader.
I guess what I mean by that is she's more scared of rebel news asking her questions than she is of a terrorist leader.
We were parked outside here for about half an hour, and we had my colleague David Menzies and Lincoln Jay outside, but she pulled up in a little red mini and she's sneaking in a door and the door slammed shut behind her.
Take a look at the footage captured by my colleague Lincoln J. She's a sneaky one that Yara sacks, but in some ways I can't blame her.
When she allowed herself to be scrutinized, not by the media, but by her own citizens, her own voters, a few weeks ago at the Pride of Israel town hall meeting, she was roundly booed and heckled.
It was astonishing.
I think there were about four or five hundred people there, and half of them were shouting her down.
Remember this?
Join me in welcoming Yara Sacks to share with us.
Rise above it, put your sides down, or leave the room.
Ooh, so that's her own voters.
But just a couple of days ago, she went to, I don't know, some picnic.
And the other side, the pro-Hamas types, heard about her, and she got it from both sides.
Did you see this footage just from a couple days ago?
You continue to remain silent.
You have the opportunity to embrace the demon for the organization who are concerned about your silence and the music in this genocide.
You're on your hands!
Blood on your hands!
Blood on the authorities for 10 months, Yara!
10 months!
Even calling, emailing, showing the way you're office!
The news of the Europe's budget community have been calling, emailing, and showing off our own scaling!
Yeah, it's tough being Ya'ara Sachs.
It's tough being a liberal in Canada these days because, especially on foreign affairs, they'll say different things to different audiences.
What I mean by that is Ya'ara Sachs will pretend to the Jewish community that she's in solidarity with them, but then pretend when she's with the liberal Hamas caucus that she's in solidarity with Gaza.
You can't really have it both ways.
Yaara Sachs has some very specific questions, though, that she refused to answer.
Remember a few weeks ago when my buddy David Menzies was granted accreditation to another event she had?
It did not go well for Yaara Sachs.
Take a look.
Good morning, David Menzies with Rebel News.
My question is for Minister Sachs.
Why did you travel to the Middle East to shake hands with Mahmoud Abbas, a terrorist who runs a pay-for-slave scheme?
Okay, so we're just going to be doing questions just strictly related to today's announcement.
I think this is a more important issue given the state of the world than what's happening now.
And the minister has avoided these questions.
Also, Minister, do you think it's a good idea that your government is planning on bringing thousands of Gazans into our country?
These are people even Arab Middle East nations won't take in.
Given what we've seen in the streets of Canada for the last eight months of people chanting for genocide, surely you, as a Canadian Israeli Jew, you should have some skin in the game.
What do you say to this decision?
I'm waiting your answer.
I know, we appreciate you're allowed to state your question, but I think that I don't know if there's going to be a response today, but we really appreciate you coming.
Ms. Sachs, I again ask you, why did you go to the Middle East to shake hands with a terrorist, especially post-October 7th?
Why were you even in the Middle East?
You're not the Prime Minister.
You're not the Foreign Affairs Minister.
Ms. Sachs, your government invoked the Emergencies Act to shut down a peaceful protest in Ottawa.
You froze bank accounts of Canadians.
We have chance of genocide and violence in the streets of Canada.
Why aren't you doing anything about that?
Let me emphasize something about what David did there, is that his questions were put politely.
David's a polite person by nature.
He always says miss or ma'am.
He doesn't swear.
He doesn't get physical in any way.
He just does old school journalism.
It's so rare to see it.
We are sometimes startled by it.
David Menzies asked real questions and Ya'ara Sachs is incapable of answering them.
Did you see her sneak in the back like some sort of fugitive?
It was actually quite undignified and beneath the station of a cabinet minister.
I should tell you, if she was scooting around outside, she must have seen our glorious truck with the firesacks.com billboard action on it.
You know, of course, it's always going to be possible for a sneaky liberal to sneak into a building and sneak out if they're dedicated enough to it.
And I admit that she got by us, although Lincoln spotted her.
But I don't think that's a way to be a political candidate.
I mean, you're basically acknowledging that the public hates you, but I don't think that's the way to be a cabinet minister either.
Some of the folks from the social services agency behind me were a little bit frustrated that our being here caused the minister to delay as she circled around to sneak in.
And I absolutely sympathize with them for this reason.
A grown-up, a responsible adult who is ready for the burdens of being a cabinet minister, should have the mental, physical, and courage abilities to take a question or two, even from critical media.
What I mean by that is you saw David's questions.
They must have an answer.
She must have thought about the answers.
Ministers have legions of staff briefing them every day about what the issues of the day are and giving suggested lines.
She's not a private person.
She's a public person, a powerful person, and part of her job as cabinet minister is to answer legitimate questions from the public.
That's my way of saying that if she were more courageous, if she were more worthy of the position she's been entrusted with, she would have walked right in these doors, heard a question or two from me or David Menzies, answered them without whatever answer she has, and walked right in to continue her event.
But I think she lacks the moral fiber to be able to do that.
She lacks the confidence in her own position.
I think she genuinely is the kind of politician who will read whatever is put in front of her.
I have a tiny bit of sympathy for her because it's so pitiful to watch when she was booed in her own community.
For a second, it sounded like she was going to cry.
But there's no crying when you're in the cabinet.
Your job is to be on par with the other cabinet ministers, to go toe-to-toe with people around the world.
What I think she demonstrated is that she will spend more time with a terrorist like Mahmoud Abbas.
She will show more courtesy to a terrorist like Mahmoud Abbas than she will to her own citizens.
I'm a voter in her riding, by the way.
Or legitimate journalistic questions such as those put by my colleague David.
Now, I actually don't want to bring any discredit to this worthy social services agency behind me.
And they're not the reason we're here.
We're here because Ya'ara Sachs invited us to be here.
And then when she saw our names RSVPing, she canceled in a panic.
I am looking to, looking forward to the voters of York Center indeed firing Ya'ara Sachs.
Well, that's the first half.
Here's the second half that David took over for me.
Well, folks, about an hour and a half ago, my boss, Ezra Levant, he had to hustle back to the office for some important business.
So my cameraman, Lincoln Jay and I, we stayed behind to catch Yara Sachs and ask her some questions.
But wouldn't you know it?
She once again snuck out.
This time, we were not fortunate enough to catch her.
But what does that say?
I mean, this is supposed to be a parliamentarian.
Why don't you just face the music?
Yeah, maybe our questions are impolite.
Maybe they're insensitive.
But you should have a backbone.
You should have the intestinal fortitude to take these kind of questions from the media.
Yeah, I know Yarisak, she's probably used to softballs from the CBC and whatnot, but we want to ask real questions.
And what questions would they be?
Well, as our truck was demonstrating, what was the reason for Yara Sachs going to Ramallah and shaking hands with Mahmoud Abbas?
This is a guy that runs a pay-for-slay operation, i.e., kill an Israeli, you're going to get a check.
If you die trying, no problem.
Your family gets paid out.
And of all people, to get cuddly with this terrorist, a Canadian Israeli Jewish woman?
Are you kidding me?
And especially since she's not the prime minister, she's not the foreign affairs minister.
What in blue hell was she doing there in the first place?
Another question, and it pertains to this disastrous press conference that was quasi-canceled.
I mean, they said it was canceled, but, you know, they snuck Yara Sachs in.
Is this how you're going to play out the remainder of your term?
You're going to be acting like some scared little mouse, just afraid of the independent press, the glare of the camera, the sound of insensitive questions.
That is pathetic.
And another thing I wanted to ask her, remember her most infamous statement, I think, in the House of Commons, that Hong Kong is an acronym for Heil Hitler.
Musk's Chinese Exposure00:16:38
Do you remember that?
Let's throw to a clip of Yara Sachs in action.
How much vitriol do we have to see of Hong Kong, which is an acronym for Hail Hitler?
Do we need to see by these protesters on social media?
Well, first of all, Ms. Sachs, I want to educate you.
A sonic outburst is not an acronym.
An acronym is a combination of individual letters that spell out a word, you know, like NASA.
So you don't even know what an acronym is, but where did you get that information?
I mean, your government seems obsessed with misinformation and disinformation.
And somehow you came up with the crackpot idea that a car honking its horn twice is Heil Hitler.
Please don't go downtown during rush hour.
You will see Nazis galore on the streets of Hogtown, let me tell you.
But in any event, folks, we did give it the good old college try.
We wanted to pose these questions and others to Yara Sachs.
But Yara Sachs, at the end of the day, and I don't care where you sit in the political spectrum, Yara Sachs is a coward.
She is a scaredy cat that will not face the music.
Let me ask you, if you live in York Center, is this who you want to be, your member of parliament?
Well, what do you think?
Here's what I think.
And I said this to the local social services group that said, hey, how come you're here?
And I said, look, we have nothing against you guys.
It's the politician that's coming to talk to you.
She invited us here.
And I said, she makes, I forget exactly how much cabinet ministers make.
I think she makes more than a quarter million dollars a year.
And part of her job description, by the way, is talking to the press.
We know that because she has an enormous staff designed to talk to the press.
So it's actually her duty, her obligation to engage with the public and answer questions.
And the fact that she's a coward about it, well, I think she's not fit for purpose.
All right.
Up next, our friend Mark Murano talking about Elon Musk.
Well, as I keep telling you, because I keep thinking about it, when I was in Davos, Switzerland last January for the World Economic Forum, and when you're just on the streets and you overhear people and you read what people are saying, the number one person they were talking about was a guy who was not there.
Obviously, I'm referring to Donald Trump because his plans would change the international order, politics, economics.
He would smash a lot of the United Nations and EU powers.
He would absolutely be a bull in a China shop.
But the number two word that they kept saying was Elon Musk, because they knew that Elon Musk was a disruptor in his own way, very specifically on the flow of information.
The theme at last year's Davos get together.
There were several themes.
One of them was misinformation and disinformation, which is a way of saying opinions they don't like.
I, as the left, has grown to hate Elon Musk, I have grown to love him.
I believe that he is the single most important force in free speech in the world right now.
I think that's obvious.
Who else is there even in the running?
By making Twitter or X, as it's now called, a free speech zone, he has allowed people to take control of the narrative and not simply regurgitate what is shown to them through the narrow focus of the mainstream.
He has brought back from the dead people who were canceled and banned.
You don't have to like them, but people like my old friend Alex Jones, who never did anything, never said anything illegal.
He was just annoying to the left.
And so he was banned to bring him back and others like Tommy Robinson.
And so I have become quite fond of Elon Musk, and I love to see what he's doing.
And I'm delighted to see how don't give a damn he is when he's fighting with people like Kirstarmer, the new prime minister of the United Kingdom.
And I hold on to the fact that although he is in the electric car business, I don't think he's a radical environmentalist.
In fact, he claims that he himself has never sought government handouts.
It was his rivals at GM and other places that called for them.
And I think just judging by his words, he is a fairly free market-oriented guy.
That said, in a recent enormous conversation that he had on Twitter with Donald Trump, basically inviting Trump back onto the platform, he talked with Trump about carbon dioxide.
And I think he said things that people like myself and our guests today know are scientifically off a bit.
And I hate to ever say that I'm in a position to chide or correct Elon Musk.
The man is a whole quantum, you know, several standard deviations smarter and brighter than I ever will be.
But every once in a while, even a genius can get it wrong.
And joining me now to talk about this is our friend Mark Morano, who probably knows more about global warming than anybody else, really.
And he joins us now via Zoom.
Mark, great to see you.
I'm sure, like me, you've come to admire Elon Musk for the many things he's done to fight back against the censorship regime.
But I think he got something a little bit wrong in his conversation with Donald Trump, didn't he?
Yes, he did.
Oh, just first of all, just on Elon Musk, just to respond to what you were saying.
He's a complicated figure, and I didn't like him until probably 2021, 22, when he started speaking out on COVID.
I never liked him because he did in the past, 2010, 2012, he would say a lot of the standard global warming alarmism comments.
If you go back and look at that, he definitely pushed his business model and he had no problem allowing the climate fear-mongering to help the sales of the EV.
He's also got government contracts with defense contracts.
He's also got Neuralink brain stuff, which is kind of fascinating at the same time, but could also be misused.
But he really came into as an advocate for free speech, as an advocate for free markets, as an advocate against the COVID tyranny.
He won me over.
But I still have, I guess you could say, a natural historical distrust of him.
And I think he's just a man, flesh and bone.
He's not a saint.
He's not an angel.
Like all of us, he has his flaws and he's not perfect.
So I tell you, I hear exactly what you're saying.
Keep going.
I interrupted.
Well, so when he said his comment about the CO2 being causing headaches when they hit 1,000 parts per million, we're currently at about 428 parts per million.
And he's worried that if we get up to 3,000 parts per million, people are going to start having headaches.
It's going to be bad for public health.
And he even at one point when he was, he also advocates currently for a carbon tax, which is kind of bizarre.
But I think what he does here, he's got an increasingly larger foot in team reality.
And I mean team reality when it comes to COVID, free speech, transgenderism, against the great reset.
But he still has a foot.
Maybe it's maybe only a few toes in this climate fear promotion because that's his historic business model when it comes to EVs.
So I don't know where he's getting his source.
When he came out for a carbon tax in July, he had a chart unsourced, and I've asked around scientists and others, no one can find the source of a thousand, some chart claiming a thousand can start headaches when you get to levels of CO2.
I know that's not true.
I mean, I mean, I know, I happen to know that your breath is 40,000 parts per million CO2.
And, you know, you wouldn't necessarily want to rebreathe someone else's breath all day, but the idea that we aren't in situations where the CO2 is a thousand or two thousand parts per million all the time, we don't even notice it.
No, you don't.
And that's what I was just about to say.
So I think he's saying these things because he still, he just can't let go completely.
Now, what he said, you know, in my book, Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, I had a whole section.
Scientists like Will Happer, 200 peer-reviewed studies, considered the foremost expert on greenhouse gases, has said the idea that CO2 is any kind of pollution is scientific nonsense.
Richard Lindzen, who I quote in the book, says you can go up to as high as 5,000 parts per million.
That's considered safe on submarines, space stations.
And our own federal occupational safety health administration says you could have 5,000 CO2 for eight hours with no problem whatsoever.
And what's interesting about this is this is all known and you can go much higher.
As you mentioned, humans inhale oxygen.
We exhale carbon dioxide.
What's fascinating about this, if you go back to COVID, those are people who wore masks during COVID, and I just had to cite this study.
This is from British, I believe, British Medical Journal, but it's about infectious diseases talking about carbon dioxide increases with face masks and the concentrations with a mask, a KN95 mask when you're breathing, CO2 concentrations of up to 26,000 parts per million.
So anyone out there, and they're usually the same people, worried about carbon dioxide and telling you to wear a mask for a virus, you are putting up almost 30,000 parts per million in your breath when you're walking around with that mask on because you're inhaling your exhale, your exhale, to put it mildly.
And it gets even deeper.
There's actually even more deep analysis of this.
And if you go to Climate Depot, I get into it.
I don't want to go into all of it right now, but essentially, this is a sign.
The more CO2 in the air is usually a good sign because it means the air is ventilating and you're moving.
The higher the CO2 in an indoor air quality is an indication that you need better ventilation, but it's not the CO2 that's causing problems.
It's other things in the air that we're breathing in.
And this is, again, acknowledged by the federal government, acknowledged by science journals, acknowledged by climate scientists.
It's not in dispute.
Even the climate alarmists don't make this claim.
So I don't know where Elon Musk got this stat from on headaches and a thousand.
But when it happened, we had a geologist who was at a school conference and he did a meeting.
He actually had a portable meter in his briefcase.
He took a measurement and it was like 1,200 parts per million or 1,500 in this school conference with all these children.
And I asked, are any of the kids reporting headaches?
And he said, yeah, dropping over like flies, he said sarcastically.
But there's just no there there.
And that was a bizarre thing for Elon Musk to say, but I do think it's because not only his business model, but I still think he's surrounded.
Like some of the people who work for Twitter are from the World Economic Forum.
So he's probably aware that he's got to have at least, if not a whole foot in the climate promotion of the climate crisis, he's got to have at least many toes into it.
And I think that's where this thousand parts per million science-free claim from Elon Musk occurred.
You know, the world of science is infinite.
You know, even a narrow field of study, biology, chemistry, physics, like there's no one man, even a genius, who can know everything about everything.
The man's a rocket scientist and an electric car scientist.
And he's like, you mentioned some of his activities.
We can forgive a man for not knowing the details on your own exhalation, et cetera.
I'm not overly worried about it.
In fact, my favorite thing about Elon Musk, I think it's my favorite thing about Twitter at least, is how easy it is now to fact check whomever.
And the people get the right to fact check.
It's called community notes.
And ordinary people get to rebut and vote on rebuttals that are tacked on to anyone's Twitter posts.
In the past, you had to be able to convince the New York Times or the Washington Post or the CBC that they made a mistake, convince them to make a correction, and they were often grudging and mealy mouth and they didn't want to lose face.
Now, you don't need their permission to make a community note stuck right on their post.
And it's wonderful.
And Elon Musk himself has been the target of some of these community notes.
And I, I mean, so the fact that a guy gets things wrong doesn't make me alarmed necessarily, especially if he is so dedicated to proving, to correcting errors.
I maintain my admiration for him, even though on this issue, he got it wrong.
And you give us some reasons why he may have it wrong.
Let me raise one other thing that is a back of mind worry for me about Musk, and that is he has a lot of exposure in China.
And, you know, if you're doing a lot of business in China, billions of dollars of business in China, you're there all the time.
There's a lot of things that could go wrong, ranging from them spying on you, trying to set you up in some way, perhaps, stealing your industrial secrets, but also stopping you from speaking truth to power about various subjects, whether it's their crackdown on religious minorities, their military expansionism.
So actually, if you ask me what my number one worry about Elon Musk is, it's not that he might be a global warmist.
I really don't think he is.
It's that he could be at risk for his exposure to China.
Yes, and his contracts with Tesla.
And the thing about this whole Chinese thing is the whole EV market, he really, to win me over even more, I would like to see Elon Musk vocally speak out bluntly about stopping any gas-powered car bans, which he has, but he's still gentle with it.
And he needs to start talking about owning up about what's happening with him using China for cheap labor.
And the same with all of the big tech firms.
I think we're at a point now where, you know, I don't know how much is myth versus reality with Teddy Roosevelt as the trust buster and breaking up monopolies, but we're at a point now where a candidate should run for office, at least in the United States, saying, I'm going to break up Google.
It's a monopoly.
It's evil.
It's suppressing freedom.
It's suppressing economic competition.
It's the classic definition.
I'm going to break up everything from Facebook, but particularly Google for the search engine, go after even Apple.
And I think this is what we need to start doing.
And I think Elon Musk is coming along.
Now, he still has one foot.
When I say this, he wants people to think, well, we still have to get off fossil fuels, but not anytime soon.
There's no crisis, but let's work.
So he's still, if you listen to the nuances of what he said, now, Trump actually made the argument back that EVs are not even, there's no business model for EVs because Trump is very blunt about ending all the subsidies and mandates and going out, you know, and ending that for the automakers, which again, Elon's okay with.
So that's a good sign.
But I don't know.
I'd like to see more of Elon talk about China.
And I understand as a businessman, you got to go where the cheap labor is.
And obviously that's China.
But at some point, we need to figure out a way that the whole world isn't going to be groveling to China.
And on EVs, we are.
If we go down this path, even voluntarily, China is going to be the global number one automaker and a monopoly on EVs for obvious reasons.
No one can say no because of the cheap labor.
It was interesting just a few days ago, the American-ness of various automobiles was ranked.
How much of a Ford F-150 is made in America?
And by America, they mean America and Canada, because, of course, the auto-pact, the cars move back and forth between Detroit and Windsor.
And I was slightly surprised to learn that Teslas are the most American-made vehicles in the market, more than a Ford F-150, more than anything from Yes or the others.
And so I thought that was encouraging.
And the fact that Elon Musk was proud of that, again, made me feel good.
I think he's more.
It's true.
Yeah.
That's a whole different level of, I guess, definitions because a lot of people are.
It's just like where did you make the mirror?
Where did you make this panel?
Doubling Population Impact00:03:04
Yes.
They're assembled in America at an American plant, but all the components and, of course, all the mining.
So you get into much more nuance and there's all kinds of ways to present that information.
But overall, it's going to be, you know, I mean, we're headed globally to China being the global superpower.
There's economics.
There's no, I mean, yeah, there's no way out of it under our current trajectory.
We need a radical shift.
Yeah.
Well, listen, great to catch up.
And I'm glad that we're having this candid conversation about a man we both admire.
And it's a reminder not to put all your faith in one man.
Even the Bible says that put not your trust in princes.
And we can admire him.
He is a force for good.
I believe he is the most important force for freedom of speech this generation.
He is.
He deserves the medal of freedom.
Yeah.
But he'll never get it.
Well, he might if Trump wins, actually.
Mark, great to catch up with you.
Thanks for everything.
Thank you, Ezra.
Appreciate it.
There you have it.
Mark Morano.
He's the boss of climatepot.com.
Stay with us.
letters to me next hey welcome back Your letters to me.
Kimberly says, I've always backed Danielle Smith and felt she was really well grounded.
I was shocked on her stance on immigration, and it makes me question her now.
This will shake her support.
Yeah, you know what?
I mean, I think you know that I've known Danielle Smith since we were in university together.
And I find she's very curious, very open-minded, but every once in a while a touch too open-minded, if I may.
And if there's a novel or clever argument, she might sort of be wooed by it perhaps too quickly.
And I think that's what happened when someone said, hey, let's double the population.
Well, you're not doubling the population with scientists and doctors and engineers.
We can see what doubling the population in Canada looks like.
It's millions of low-skill, culturally misfit military-age migrant men.
That's what doubling the population looks like.
Sean C. says, apart from the other issues pertaining to this topic, why is it that we are afraid to say that this country is losing its cultural identity due to mass immigration?
Is an opinion illegal now too?
Well, to answer your question, that opinion is illegal in the United Kingdom.
We've been watching as hundreds of people have been arrested, prosecuted, and jailed in the UK, not just for violent physical riots.
And by the way, I think rioters should be jailed, but people who simply tweet opinions, tweet memes, even put things on social media just to tell their own friends.
We've seen these people sent to prison.
So to answer your question, yeah, having an opinion can lead you to jail.
On that somber note, let me call it quits for the day and look forward to seeing you on Monday.
