Ezra Levant visits Tommy Robinson at HMP Woodhill prison (2:30 p.m. UK time), where he faces solitary confinement amid concerns from 37% Muslim inmates, then flies to Amsterdam to cover November 8th riots—Islamist gangs assaulted perceived Jews/Israelis, leaving six missing—while supporting Geert Wilders’ calls for mass deportations of Islamist immigrants. Levant and Mark Morano (climatepot.com) critique COP29’s "net zero" ideology, noting global backlash from Dutch farmers to corporate resistance, and suggest Trump’s 2024 return could hasten its collapse, with allies like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard reinforcing skepticism. Both warn of risks at UN conferences in unfree nations, like recent arrests in Egypt, as Levant prepares to document Amsterdam’s unrest with Efron Monsanto via AmsterdamReports.com.

Even though he's not sworn in as president yet, the rest of the world is realizing there's a new sheriff in town.
We're going to talk with Mark Murano about what that means for energy and the United Nations Global Warming Conference.
I also want to give you an update on my plans for this weekend.
I'm going to the United Kingdom where I'm meeting Tommy Robinson in prison.
I'll let you know how that goes.
Then I'm hopping on a plane immediately after to go to Amsterdam where there were anti-Semitic street riots.
I'll tell you what I find on the ground.
Anyhow, it's going to be part of the podcast tonight.
And then that's what I'm doing this weekend.

All right, here's today's podcast.
Tonight, Gaza-style intifada riots come to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
It's November 8th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the footage coming out of Amsterdam last night.
A Jew hunt.
There's actually a special Dutch word for that.
There was a Jew hunt in the streets as Islamist gangs stormed through the city streets, finding anyone who was or looked Jewish or Israeli.
This was after a football match, a soccer game, between the local sports team, the local Amsterdam team and an Israeli team.
So there was a lot of Jewish people attending the match, including Israelis who had flown to Amsterdam for the match.
There was a warning that there could be security concerns.
The government was warned.
Apparently they did nothing.
And so these rioters stampeded through the streets, attacking Jews with their fists, but also with weapons, leaving many unconscious.
And apparently, according to some reports I saw, up to half a dozen people are missing.
I hope that report is incorrect because it implies they may have a very grave situation, including, God forbid, a Hamas-style hostage taking.
I hope that report is debunked.
The last time we saw this kind of Jew hunt was just after the October 7th terrorist attack in southern Israel.
We saw it in Dagestan, a remote Central Asian republic, part of Russia, where a plane landed from Israel.
Word of this spread, and soon Muslims stormed the airport, going through the terminal, going onto the runways, looking for the plane.
It was absolutely terrifying.
I suppose we all said to ourselves, that's Dagestan, couldn't find it on a map.
One of the places Donald Trump would call a SHIT whole country.
Well, Amsterdam is the opposite of that.
Amsterdam is the first city of the Netherlands.
It's refined.
It's historical.
It's educated.
It's liberal.
In fact, for years, it was synonymous with easy laws on everything from marijuana to prostitution.
It was as modern and feminist and Western, as tolerant as can be.
Well, last night it felt more like Dagestan than Amsterdam.
Everyone in the country who's in the establishment expressed their surprise, including the king himself.
The prime minister said he was outraged.
What happened last night in Amsterdam and the images and the messages that we hear there are downright scandalous and reprehensible.
And I think that everything should be done to track down and prosecute the perpetrators.
This is simply anti-Semitic violence against Israelis.
And what can we do in 2024 that actually defies description and is beyond all limits and out of all proportion?
And here's a tweet from the justice minister saying he wants to bring the rioters to justice.
But is that all?
Our friend Geirt Wilders said that is not enough.
We need mass deportations and denaturalizations of the terrorists.
Israel, seeing the news, sent two aircraft from Israel to Amsterdam to help bring back any Israelis, including those that may need some help.
A series of Israeli politicians flew to Amsterdam, and Girt Wilders met many of them expressing his solidarity.
I have decided to go to Amsterdam myself.
Now, I have tomorrow a meeting scheduled at HMP Woodhill, the prison in England where Tommy Robinson is being held.
It was very difficult to secure this meeting, so I'm going to keep my appointment to meet Tommy Robinson.
In fact, there's some overlap in the storylines here, aren't there?
Tommy has been warning against the Islamification of the West.
One of the things he's most concerned about is the violence and the street gangs, the failure to assimilate, the anti-Semitism.
Tommy is in prison for saying these things and other things and similar things.
And I'm not sure what he's heard about the riots.
I might ask him about that when I see him tomorrow.
My main purpose for meeting Tommy Robinson is to make sure that he's safe and not being mistreated in prison while we actively try to get him in a better prison situation than being kept in solitary confinement at a prison that, by the way, 37% of the inmates are Muslim and Muslim gangs dominate the prison.
That's the reason they put him in solitary confinement.
He would be killed if he were in general population.
I'm meeting with Tommy Robinson at 2.30 p.m. in local UK time.
As soon as that's over, I go directly to the airport and I'll fly to the Netherlands, where I'll land later that evening.
I'll get to work immediately.
Our head of video, Efron Monsanto, is going tonight directly from Toronto to Amsterdam.
We'll see if there's any reverberations of these riots on Saturday night in Amsterdam, and we'll spend Sunday interviewing everyone we can.
I've actually reached out to Kirt Bilders.
You might recall that I've interviewed him several times.
And obviously one of the main issues that he has campaigned for for decades is turning off immigration and deporting immigrants, especially Islamist immigrants who do not assimilate into the Dutch ways.
Here's an excerpt from my interview with Kirt Wilders last year.
But there's also another fear.
People who criticize immigration or Islam, they don't just have fear of assassination.
They have fear of being called racist.
What advice would you have for people in other countries who want to take the same position as you on immigration, but are afraid of either violence or more likely, they're afraid that they'll just be called racist?
Well, the one thing that really helps is to find a political party, to start a political party, to support an existing political party that makes it something that is more common.
You know, this is what you saw in Holland, where we started.
When I started my political party, exactly the same happened.
I'm in the problems now with my personal security because I got five fatwas from Pakistan, from many Arab countries, where Imams and mullahs said that I had to be killed.
Today you see in Holland that not only when it comes to immigration, but also when it comes to other issues, that people are not afraid to say it anymore.
That's one of the differences of last week.
People were whispering to one another in the last few years that, okay, I vote for this PVV and this will this guy, but they said it while we're having a coffee at their work instead of publicly.
And now people are, for the first time in Holland, they are proud to do so.
They say it at work.
They say it when they go to the gym.
They say it on a party, a birthday party with their neighbors.
So at the end of the day, we make this criticism normal because we know that the elite who is ignoring it and was calling us racist, well, we are everything but racist in Holland and in so many other countries.
The indigenous people are the people that are discriminated against.
It's not the people who are entering our country.
It's interesting to me that Hirt Wilders is now the leader of the largest party in the Netherlands government coalition.
He's not the prime minister, as perhaps he should be, but he is a key player there.
And it'll be interesting to see what levers he can pull from within government as a reaction to this.
I think this was a truly shocking moment for the Netherlands, which regarded itself as a friend to liberalism and frankly a friend to the Jews.
I mentioned before that the football team from Israel came to play the football team from the Netherlands.
That local team called Ajax, one of its nicknames is the Jews, believe it or not, because there are so many Jews in Amsterdam and they would fly the Israeli flags and sing the Jewish song Havanagila.
They're not Jewish, but that was sort of the nickname for the team.
Of course, that's something that's despised by anti-Semitic immigrants, and they targeted it.
And there's a lot of questions to answer.
Some of the questions put by Kirt Wilders to his own party, his own justice minister in the coalition, was, how did we not see this coming?
And what will you do about deportations?
This is all my way of saying I'm getting on a plane, frankly, in about three hours.
I'm flying overnight.
I'll see Tommy Robinson in prison and I'll give you a full report after that.
Once I'm out of prison, I'll go directly to Amsterdam, where I will work Saturday night and Sunday.
And I'll be back here in Canada on Monday about 2 p.m.
So I'll give you a report throughout the weekend.
If you want to participate in these projects, I could use your help.
On the Tommy Robinson side, I have been working every day with Tommy's lawyers, trying to instruct them and direct them to fight on two fronts.
First of all, Tommy has a bizarre hearing under the Terrorism Act because he refused to give police the passcode to his iPhone without a search warrant.
So that's a hearing that's coming up very shortly.
If you want to help us with that or his other problem, being in a maximum security prison when he's a civil prisoner, you can go to savetommy.com.
That's where I'll have my reports.
And if you want to chip in to help us cover the lawyers, please do.
We're also setting up AmsterdamRiots.com.
That's obviously we're going to have all our reports on these Amsterdam riots.
And hopefully we'll get another one-on-one with Kirt Builders.
Anyways, I'm slightly distracted, as you can see, because I've got to get to the airport to get on the plane.
A couple of sleepless nights.
I'll be on the plane sleeping tonight.
And then I don't even stay in the UK long enough to get a hotel.
I go straight to Amsterdam tomorrow night.
I'll let you know how that goes.
I'll try and keep safe.
And hopefully I'll be back in Canada in this very chair on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
No rest for the wicked on this side.
Here's my interview with Mark Morano before I go.
World Changing With Trump's Return00:15:56
The world, of course, is the election, the re-election, the vindication, the restoration of Donald J. Trump as the president of the United States.
He hasn't taken office yet.
That doesn't happen until the inauguration in January.
But already the world is changing.
Vladimir Putin is expressing interest in talking to Donald Trump about a peace deal in Ukraine.
The Houthi terrorists in Yemen have unilaterally declared they're going to stop attacking ships in the Red Sea.
Hamas is now talking about laying down arms.
And all around the world, things are getting back to normal because the grown-up is in charge.
And one of the things that is more important than foreign policy, of course, is domestic policy.
I think that's the number one reason he was elected, to restore prosperity and hope to Americans, building a border wall, enforcing immigration law.
And one of the things that Trump was always strong on in his first term is energy.
The United States used to be the largest net importer of energy in the world.
Under Trump, it became a net exporter, oil, gas.
They brought in enough to take care of their own industry and started selling it abroad.
Well, of course, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden stopped that.
One of the very first things Joe Biden did, you might remember after becoming president, it was a disgrace.
He canceled the Keystone XL pipeline that was more than 90% built.
In fact, they had already laid the pipe across the Canada-U.S. border.
It put thousands of American unionized steel workers out of a job.
It also led to energy insecurity.
I'm excited about all those projects that will be revived.
I really like RFK Jr., who became a sort of Trump surrogate or proxy.
I think he's very wise on issues ranging from the deep state to censorship to his skepticism of big pharma.
But I love how whenever Donald Trump touted RFK Jr., and he was very loving in his endorsement of the man, he quickly said, but he can't touch energy because, of course, remember, RFK Jr. came up through an environmentalist group, the River Keepers.
Here's just a clip of Donald Trump expressing his affection for Kennedy, but the limits of that affection.
Take a look.
They're hardworking people.
These are fantastic people.
And we can add a few names like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And he's going to help make America healthy again.
And now he's a great guy, and he really means it.
He wants to do some things, and we're going to let him go to it.
I just said, but Bobby, leave the oil to me.
We have more liquid gold, oil and gas.
We have more liquid gold than any country in the world, more than Saudi Arabia.
We have more than Russia.
Bobby, stay away from the liquid gold.
Other than that, go have a good time, Bobby.
You got to love his sense of humor.
And by the way, good for RFK Jr. for partnering with someone who I think five years ago, no one would have thought would happen.
Well, we mentioned how the whole world is reverberating because of Trump's win.
And one of the places where I think that will dominate discussion, of course, the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, which we always attend, they'll be feasting on this.
They'll be appalled by it.
They'll be gagging on it.
Donald Trump is a threat to everything they have to say and do.
Yuval Noah Harari said that.
We played that clip a couple of times.
But right now, in the country of Azerbaijan in Central Asia, in the city of Baku, very exotic, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, their annual conference of the parties, is coming together.
In other words, the UN's global warming conference that attracts thousands of delegates from around the world to hatch schemes on how to carbon tax this and net zero that.
Well, they are meeting and it's got to be under a dark cloud.
That meeting starts in just a couple of days.
And joining us is a man who goes to all of those meetings with a skeptical eye.
He is en route to Baku right now.
We caught him as he passes through Istanbul, Turkey.
I suppose that's how you get to Azerbaijan.
You know who I'm talking about, our friend Mark Morano, the boss of climatepot.com.
Mark, it's great to see you.
We've got you between flights.
You're passing through Istanbul, very exotic.
You're dressed like you're going on safari, and you've got a big smile on your face.
I think I know why.
You had the same smile in 2016 when Donald Trump was first elected.
Tell me what you expect to see at the Global Warming Conference that you're visiting in a couple days.
Well, this is, you know, I can't suppress the smile.
This is Donald Trump's election in 2024 is one of the most consequential elections ever when it comes to the UN sustainable development and climate change agenda.
And it's not just because of Donald Trump.
And it's, I guess the best way to explain this of why I'm so excited to head to Azerbaijan and I leave in 36 hours from Istanbul to go to Baku is if you think back in the United States, we had for decades the left, everyone from AOC talking about defunding the police.
What a great idea.
George Soros funded all these prosecutors in American cities.
Finally, George Floyd happens in 2020 in June.
And every major U.S. city went full bore on defunding the police.
It was a complete, utter disaster.
They had virtue signaled for decades.
Nothing happened because they didn't officially do it.
They finally went all in.
Every city was in chaos, collapse.
Within a year, Joe Biden's at the State of the Union announcing it's time to refund the police.
It was a political disaster for American progressives.
The same thing is happening in real time, independent of Donald Trump with the net zero UN climate agenda.
From energy rationing through Europe fighting back the EU elections, the Netherlands farmers, the Polish parliament fighting back, the UK showing signs of life fighting the net zero agenda, every major corporation pushing back on the EVs, from BMW to Mercedes, Chrysler, all across the board.
CEOs can't even hold this together, even though they're in corporate government collusion.
And of course, you have uh the rest of the climate agenda from the food rationing to the climate to the entire 15-minute cities.
Everyone seems to be in revolt across the world.
Enter Donald Trump.
His election might just be the gentle shove.
Not that I think Donald Trump's going to be gentle.
I think it's going to be a heave-ho, but it's at a time that only God could have created in this period of history.
The agenda is in shambles, not because they failed in some weird way, but because they actually started implementing the wacky virtue signaling thing that they've talked about for decades.
And people in real time, just like Def on the Police, are seeing the disaster.
Donald Trump is now in, and the U.S. is going to accelerate this collapse of net zero.
It is a wonderful thing to behold.
I'm calling COP29 in Azerbaijan the funeral for the demented net zero ideology.
I agree with you that it's a funeral, but the thing about the UN is they're like the undead.
They'll continue because they get paid to go to these annual reunions.
There's been more than 20 of them so far.
It's like an annual get-together with all your buddies in another setting.
And Baku is a little more exotic sometimes.
They were in Paris a few years ago.
They were in Bali and Kyoto.
What a way to see the world.
So even though the ideas are dead, these zombies will continue pushing it.
But you've made me think, Mark, I think you're exactly right.
I mean, what was one of the lessons of Ukraine is that if we don't develop our own oil and gas, we're at the mercy of Russia and OPEC.
I mean, that's where Qatar got its money to fund Hamas.
I think the UK right now, they're talking about defunding seniors who needed a bit of a top-up to pay for their heat in the winter.
Your point about the farmers revolt in the Netherlands.
So even before Trump, you're so right.
Even before Trump, I think the world was tiring of the imposed planned energy poverty of the net zero movement.
But really, Donald Trump is going to, he's going to collapse the whole thing.
It's like this hot air balloon that's just going to pop.
I mean, you're not there yet.
You're en route there.
But what do you expect the local hosts to say?
What do you expect the agenda to be?
It's almost like, well, I think the analogy would be Kamala Harris's election night party.
I mean, people are gathering, but they're going to be somber.
In that case, Kamala Harris didn't even give a speech.
Like, do you think people will actually maybe even cancel their trip to Baku?
Like, what is even the point of the gathering?
First of all, I'm in Istanbul.
We just had our waiter tell us tonight, Donald Trump is good.
We've met many cab drivers, many citizens here.
Turkey seems to love Donald Trump.
They have a nationalist street care, and maybe they recognize that in Donald Trump.
I don't know.
But what's fascinating is when you go back to 2016.
Now, remember, in 2016, I showed up in Marrakech, Morocco.
And you know well, because Rebel News covered this at the time.
You were one of the few reporters.
I gave you guys the inside scoop, and then it later ended up on CNN every half hour in a loop, Associated Press.
I started shredding the UN-Paris agreement with a red MAGA hat on and a Donald Trump cutout.
Now, the media was kind of like, oh, this is silly because all the momentum was for net zero at the time and the UN climate process.
It really was.
But they know now, fast forward eight years, that agenda is in collapse, whether it's Canada, well, somewhat in Canada, or whether it's all through Europe.
Again, the EU elections in June were a major pushback.
And you see what's happening in New Zealand and Australia, hopefully coming together to fight this.
So now Donald Trump re-emerges here to push this.
We already have Senator Bernie Sanders, the night before the election, perhaps sensing a Trump win, announced that the quote, the global struggle against climate change is over if Donald Trump's elected.
Gore sent out an email saying basically he was depressed.
Al Gore saying, oh, well, this is like a major setback in civil rights, comparing himself to Martin Luther King, like the fight must go on.
They're delusional.
This is not a fight that can go on because it's demented.
It's anti-human.
It's not working.
None of the promises that they made about solar and wind being cheaper and taking over and fossil fuels being the, none of it's true.
EVs can't take over.
In the U.S., we are barely at 7% of electric vehicle sales, despite mandates, subsidies, corporate government collusion.
There's no there.
Na-na-na-na.
Hey, hey, hey.
Goodbye.
And they know that.
Their worst nightmare is to have the leader of the free world, Donald Trump, and a different Donald Trump from eight years ago.
This is the Donald Trump who has completely dropped all the stupid rhetoric about, well, Paris isn't the best deal.
We'll renegotiate.
He's gone.
That Donald Trump of 2016 is gone.
The establishment appointees aren't coming back.
This is their worst nightmare because the United States of America is going to be pushing further to the demise of net zero.
Now, to your point, I'm being a little bit exuberant here and probably unrealistic about the extent because you're right.
This is an entrenched bureaucracy that's existed in the Sustainable Development Climate Treaty since at least in formal settings since 1992 Rio Earth Summit.
But this is the greatest thing we could ever ask for as skeptics and as pro-human development against this agenda is Donald Trump's election.
You know, when you say electric vehicles, the mind turns to Elon Musk.
And he himself has had a bit of a progression as he's come to be more of a skeptic of the global warming catastrophism.
I mean, he still loves his company, Tesla, but it feels like it's as much a tech company as an electric battery company.
But in, and of course, Starlink, his major space project, I think that the launch of those super heavy rockets are the single largest use of energy by mankind, like to send a skyscraper into space.
The amount of combustion.
I mean, I think Elon Musk is through with any dallions he may have had with environmentalism.
In fact, he's now obsessed with deregulation.
He's been tapped by Trump to head up something called the Department of Government Efficiency.
I don't know if it'll actually be a department.
I can't imagine Elon Musk actually becoming a cabinet minister, but there's this whole team of high-performance capitalist entrepreneurs around him that really are excited about making the economy great again.
And environmental regulations is really the number one thing that has slowed that down.
So I think you're going to see, like, if you are going to take on environmental regulations in America, you are going to take on environmental regulations.
There's such a large source of them.
Who do you think will be the key people in the cabinet?
We mentioned RFK on the health side of things.
Who do you think might be the energy secretary?
Who do you think is going to be the guy who says we're going to fire up the drills, drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?
We're going to build that Keystone Excel pipeline.
We're going to get the LNG terminals.
Who's going to be the champion for oil and gas and pipelines?
I don't have names yet, but I can tell you this.
I don't think he's going to pick from the GOP establishment again.
I wasn't excited about Rick Perry.
I wasn't excited about Rex Tillerson, the Secretary of State.
I wasn't excited by a lot of his establishment picks.
The good news is RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, are on his transition team, and they are as outsiders as you can get.
They have no political home.
So they will be advising him, have a piece of his ear.
When it comes, you mentioned Elon Musk.
Elon Musk literally risked everything.
There were open calls just a few days before the election that if Kamala Harris won, that they were going to literally defund Elon Musk and cancel any government contracts on the star, on the rockets, on anything with electric cars.
Risking Everything00:02:59
They were going to try to financially ruin him in any way and break all of their commitments, business deals, whatever it is.
He took great personal risk in endorsing Donald Trump.
The key to any future Donald Trump appointee, and I could be critical of past EPA directors on this, they have to challenge the narrative.
We can't have a North Dakota governor like Doug Bergham who says, yes, net zero is important, but we don't have to restrict fossil fuels.
We're going to pursue funding for carbon capture and storage.
No, we need someone who says, this is a fraud.
This is a scam.
Man-made, you can't regulate the climate with taxes and restricting our energy, especially looking at China and India.
We are going to have unleashed American energy.
We're going to go after this fraud of Soviet-style central planning of net zero.
That's the kind of narrative we need.
So my hope is that Donald Trump will pick cabinet members who will challenge the premise and not be mealy mouthed like so many of his first term appointees.
Mark, it's great to catch up with you.
I know we've caught you in an internet cafe in Turkey en route to Azerbaijan.
The sound quality was excellent.
The video was slightly choppy, but we're so grateful that you made time for us at all.
I hope the infrastructure in Baku, Azerbaijan, can support great videos because we'd love to catch up with you to hear what it's like on the ground.
I suspect there's going to be a lot of long faces.
Keep your spirits high, my friend.
We're on the winning side, and you were fighting the good fight during the dark years of Harris Biden.
Thank you for that.
Thank you, Ezra.
I appreciate it.
We'll see you in Baku.
All right.
And by the way, folks, if you're wondering why we're not going to Baku, it's because in these partially free or unfree countries that now host these environmentalist gatherings, our lawyers advise us that our style of journalism that is not being officially credentialed by the UN could have our reporters arrested.
For example, it was recently in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
We were planning to go to Egypt with Sheila Gunreid and other journalists, but the lawyer in Cairo that we hired said, if you're not officially accredited by the UN, you will be arrested for doing your citizen journalism.
So we simply cannot risk sending our journalists to these unfree countries where they're hatching their unfree plans.
Stay with us.
ahead.
Well, there's Mark Morano.
What a good guy.
And I wish we could be sending someone to Azerbaijan, but it's just not a free country.
And most of the time these days, the UN has their conventions in unfree countries.
I think that's sad.
All right, I got to run.
Visiting Tommy Robinson00:00:51
I literally have to go directly from here to the airport, sleep on the plane, wake up, and I'm going to go and visit Tommy Robinson.
I'm really glad to have that appointment with him.
And I will give you a personal first-hand report of how he's doing, what he looks like, how he's being treated, what food is he getting.
Is he getting exercise time?
Is he getting time to meet with his family, time to meet with his lawyers?
I'll keep you posted on all that stuff at savetommy.com.
And then without skipping a beat, I'll be off to Netherlands to AmsterdamReports.com, which is where we're going to have our reports there.
It's a lot to do.
I'm going with our videographer, Efron Monsanto.
Between the two of us, the total airfare will probably be just over $2,000.
And we're going to have two nights hotel in Amsterdam.
If you want to chip in to help us with those costs, you can go to AmsterdamReports.com.
