Transcript
00:00:00.000
Oh hi everybody Ezra Levant here I am the boss at Rebel News and it's my pleasure to be in the
00:00:19.340
chair for the live stream we do the live stream quite often with my colleagues Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:00:25.060
David Menzies they're the regular hosts we have other talent joining from time to time
00:00:28.520
the live stream was a tradition we started early during the pandemic because there was so much to
00:00:35.060
talk about and I myself was stranded because I was on that no-fly list for not being jabbed
00:00:40.140
and I enjoyed it I enjoyed the banter the back and forth I enjoyed the interaction with our viewers
00:00:47.080
back then before we were demonetized by YouTube it was actually a meaningful source of revenue for us
00:00:52.900
the super chats YouTube quickly saw to that but we do it still because we have things to say
00:00:58.780
and because we like the feedback because not everything can fit into our daily lineup of
00:01:06.320
my show Sheila's show our produced videos so it's a good way to deal with short little mini things
00:01:13.040
that I think deserve a comment or two before we move on and one of the things I'm most excited about
00:01:20.160
in these dark days is the fact that we provide the other side of the story when so much of the media
00:01:28.780
is so clearly in spin mode for Hamas it's hard to believe I mean all this talk about fact-checking
00:01:41.080
misinformation and misinformation and misinformation and yet the state broadcaster in Canada the CBC
00:01:49.220
the state broadcaster in the UK the BBC the state broadcaster in Australia the ABC and I mention
00:01:57.060
them because they're part of this trust alliance or whatever they call it we're the trustworthy people
00:02:01.940
don't talk to our competitors don't listen to them we're the trustworthy ones what you hear from
00:02:06.820
the other guys from the independents is misinformation these first rate these premium these legacy these
00:02:15.100
trustworthy media are the ones who refuse to say the word terrorist when talking about terrorists
00:02:23.020
terrorists by any measure what they do is terrifying and terrorizing they attack civilians to get a
00:02:29.240
political outcome that really they use violence and the threat of violence to get a political outcome
00:02:34.880
that is a dictionary definition of terrorism you can see in with your eyes and feel in your gut
00:02:41.280
that the torture rape humiliation the the burning the burning of human beings is terrifying and terrorizing
00:02:49.380
and if you still are not quite convinced that that's terrorism if you're so smart that you think that
00:02:55.380
there must be some way to finesse this um well actually in Canada and in many other countries in the world
00:03:02.360
Hamas is legally defined as a proscribed terrorist entity so imagine being the CBC I'm talking about the CBC story
00:03:14.260
where they where they use this phrase Efron Olivia I'm not sure if you can find it I tweeted a bit
00:03:20.100
about it yesterday the CBC kept saying that a Canadian woman died uh what was the phrase they used can you call
00:03:30.420
my tweets on that they were saying something she was kidnapped yeah um okay now here they've changed
00:03:39.300
the headline you see that family of Israeli Canadian woman killed by Hamas heartbroken outrage so they
00:03:45.820
changed this headline scroll to the bottom let's see if they even have the the decency to have an editor's
00:03:52.520
note scroll down all the way to the bottom did they have an editor's note because this was a story
00:03:58.340
they don't have an editor's note scroll down a little bit more oh my god um see if you can find my
00:04:07.000
tweets on the subject that's the corrected headline but for the first full day they kept using this
00:04:14.440
strange wording it was something like uh she died like go to search um from colon Ezra Levant and then put in
00:04:25.520
um the word um the word French because I I tweeted about yeah there you go can you pump that up
00:04:32.800
thanks for sorry to I'm throwing this at you in real time I salute Efron and Olivia who have to follow
00:04:43.580
my meandering stream of consciousness but the CBC kept saying this weird phrase um has died at look at
00:04:55.160
that the Jewish fed this is their first headline so they we just checked their live website and you
00:05:01.200
can see after a full day they finally caved in but here's what they were saying this is the trusted
00:05:06.180
network this is the government network this is Trudeau's network this is the legacy media this is the
00:05:10.920
biggest budgeted news source in Canada part of that international group of fact checkers
00:05:15.320
the Jewish federation of Ottawa has confirmed Adi Vital Kaplun who has family ties to Ottawa
00:05:22.340
is dead so the passive tense she's dead as a result of the conflict in Israel
00:05:31.820
that's a pretty weird passive anonymous tense so she's dead as a result of the conflict that's like
00:05:42.640
that classic phrase mistakes were made oh um by whom what mistakes
00:05:50.720
and and that wasn't the only network that did that the BBC used the same language they're all using
00:05:59.700
it she's not dead as a result of the conflict she was murdered by someone we don't know the name of the
00:06:07.980
actual terrorist but we know their the name of the group it's called Hamas and the conflict conflict
00:06:14.420
so this is that that could theoretically imply that she was killed by the Israeli army or something
00:06:19.940
what a cowardly misinformation disinformation they knew exactly how and why she was murdered
00:06:31.120
they didn't just find out today oh she was murdered by Hamas and and they actually can you go to CBC News
00:06:38.760
Twitter feed because they tweeted some little editorial correction and they lied about the lie
00:06:45.240
so their first lie is that they didn't know how they she died as a result of the conflict and then here we go
00:06:52.420
look at this our original post for this story was based on information available at the time more
00:07:00.960
precise information has since become available we have removed the original post well first of all we
00:07:06.640
just saw that they don't have an editor's note on that original post they're trying to hide their
00:07:10.440
skullduggery but this is a second lie to cover up the first lie because the first lie was that she was
00:07:17.720
dead as a result of the conflict when they knew it was a Hamas attack but go to their second lie again
00:07:23.120
for a second yeah scroll down a bit are you saying that when they wrote this story yesterday yesterday
00:07:31.560
was Wednesday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday five days after she was kidnapped by Hamas
00:07:39.640
that that we didn't know who was doing it that we didn't know who did it
00:07:45.320
why are you lying the whole world knew we knew within hours they're lying more precise information
00:07:54.420
has since become available really well you didn't give us more precise information what's the name
00:07:58.540
of the terrorist or when and where exactly was she killed that's the only information that could
00:08:03.320
perhaps be new but that's not true they actually don't know that information they always knew it was
00:08:11.600
Hamas it was not an accident that they got it wrong it was a deliberate disinformation you know
00:08:17.760
these are all made up words first time I heard the word disinformation was when I was a young
00:08:25.380
teenager during the cold war and uh you know I was a teenager and I thought fighter jets were cool
00:08:33.500
and so my dad got me a subscription to a magazine that's in the olden days before email
00:08:38.440
so in the 1980s my family my dad subscribed for me to a magazine called aviation week in space
00:08:46.660
technology just because I thought it was really cool to look at fighter jets from around the world
00:08:50.340
and I discovered the word disinformation because they would talk in this magazine
00:08:55.340
about the U.S. military deliberately releasing false information about the capabilities of their own jets
00:09:03.360
to lie on purpose so that the Russians or who mainly the Soviets um would not know what was really going
00:09:13.980
on they would be misled they would leak false things um that's disinformation deliberately misinforming
00:09:23.380
someone so misinformation is you just got something wrong disinformation is you do something wrong on
00:09:31.080
purpose that's the only time in my entire life I had ever heard that word was in the case of the U.S.
00:09:37.800
military deliberately planting false facts about their own capabilities to trick the Soviets
00:09:43.640
30 years go by and the and the word is exhumed from disuse revived and deployed again by the CBC the CBC
00:09:55.200
uses the word disinformation every day they call anyone they disagree with disinformation as if you're
00:10:05.200
deliberately lying but they're the only ones deliberately telling the truth but I have just
00:10:09.860
shown you in that story and that tweet not misinformation they didn't make a mistake they didn't
00:10:17.420
mistakenly not know how she died they knew they deliberately lied just the same way every single day
00:10:26.700
they deliberately lie about Hamas and not use the word terrorist they are the number one source of
00:10:33.820
disinformation in the country dead as a result of the conflict I showed you yesterday the New York Times
00:10:43.200
one of their reporters accidentally used the word terrorist oh my god there was a panic there
00:10:48.420
and and they changed it quickly to gunmen Hamas gunmen some of them had guns some of them had knives
00:10:59.040
some of them raped some of them burnt so they actually the New York Times actually made their publication
00:11:07.480
less accurate because they were Hamas terrorists and by changing it to gunmen well that's not quite
00:11:14.840
accurate some of them did had guns but some of them did not some used other weapons
00:11:19.840
what atrocious people we have you know I if the CBC were around in the 1930s and 40s they wouldn't
00:11:31.880
have used the word Nazi for to describe Hitler oh that's too pejorative that's too judgmental that's taking
00:11:36.700
sides imagine and actually by the way the New York Times was atrocious during the Holocaust the New
00:11:43.780
York Times was owned by a Jewish family and they were worried that they would seem too Jewy if they
00:11:50.120
were too anti-Hitler so they weren't they toned down their criticism of Hitler and by the way before that
00:11:55.540
a decade before that they sent a reporter to the Soviet Union Duranty was his name and he lied and he
00:12:03.480
covered up for the the crimes of the Soviet Union understand under under under Stalin let me just
00:12:09.540
make sure I get the name yeah Walter Duranty Walter Duranty was a journalist who was the Moscow bureau
00:12:20.660
chief for the New York Times and so he had an important job yeah exactly right he won the Pulitzer
00:12:29.440
in 32 out here I'm just going to read from what you found on the screen there Duranty one of the
00:12:33.980
most famous correspondents of the day won the prize the Pulitzer Prize for 13 articles written in 1931
00:12:39.480
analyzing the Soviet Union under Stalin Times correspondents and others have since largely
00:12:44.160
discredited his coverage he was essentially a spy who was basically writing love letters to Stalin
00:12:51.660
he won a Pulitzer for it that's the New York Times and now oh wow geez we didn't know you didn't know
00:12:59.600
you didn't know you didn't know that Hamas was a terrorist group you just didn't know your own eyes
00:13:04.560
didn't tell you that that's why I like Twitter there were so many horrific and horrifying things
00:13:10.640
that I've seen on Twitter in the last few days it truly dented me emotionally I felt depressed
00:13:17.380
by it because I don't think in my entire life I'd seen anything so horrific but it's good to know
00:13:24.740
I think the West would have benefited from knowing about Stalin's crimes especially
00:13:31.900
during the Holodomor the engineered famine in Ukraine where the Soviets deliberately destroyed
00:13:40.180
the farming sector and millions starved instead the New York Times covered it up I think
00:13:45.500
the world should have known the truth about the Holocaust I think the images are shocking but
00:13:51.740
the world ought to have known here we are in 2023 in the world not on the CBC but the world that has
00:13:59.200
access to Twitter now called X has seen the truth about it and we're shocked but even worse some people
00:14:05.860
are not shocked and I find that the scary part I find it scary that when people see absolute acts of
00:14:13.740
barbarism in real time in full color and high def they shrug and say well you have to understand
00:14:20.840
the context they would have said the same thing for the Nazis and or for the Stalinists 80 90 years
00:14:27.360
ago that's what's terrifying to me I think of that book by Francis Fukuyama the end of history
00:14:33.980
oh we're all done now the Cold War is over the Berlin Wall is done we're done we're just going to live
00:14:40.220
happily ever after this utopia this sci-fi utopia we're going to live the Star Trek utopia where really
00:14:47.380
we're just going to be consumers and just watch TV and play video games and do drugs or whatever and
00:14:54.480
just be eternally in a steady state no more war
00:15:00.180
um I think we are coming out of the 75 best years in the history of civilization
00:15:11.600
the greatest generation as it was called defeated Hitler and defeated the Japanese in the Pacific theater
00:15:38.800
hundreds of thousands sometimes millions of people
00:15:56.300
just the sheer measurement of the quantity of life
00:16:03.800
in the three quarters of a century that followed the Second World War
00:16:19.340
I think the history of the world is as Thomas Hobbes described it
00:17:44.060
I forget if it was J.P. Morgan's or Rockefeller's
01:06:35.240
way bigger India is now the biggest country in the
01:06:38.660
world and we're barely ahead of Saudi Arabia so
01:08:31.360
it away in the basement because you you only use
01:10:03.040
things and Trudeau kept the childish things well
01:10:08.440
into adulthood and those socks maybe oh he's so
01:10:12.600
playful he's so childlike what a breath of fresh
01:10:16.620
air does he have anything to say um gendered language and
01:10:21.920
indigenous reflections is that working anybody where are you
01:10:26.600
president Xi Jinping prime minister Modi prime minister
01:10:30.960
Rishi Sunak nobody Emmanuel Macron you're all doing some serious things
01:10:35.560
where is everybody you know those do we have any of those viz of Trudeau just
01:10:39.420
wandering around G7s and no one will even stop to talk to him
01:10:44.540
it's because he became a man but he did not put away childish things he's still
01:10:55.340
showing the bloody socks and the rest of the world he's he's what they call the
01:11:00.080
dean of the G7 as in he's the old he's the longest serving leader at the G7 which
01:11:07.460
is sort of terrifying when you think about it that he's been around that long but he is
01:11:13.060
like the 40 year old man who still goes to college parties and everyone says who's that
01:11:22.620
old stir and he's got all his saying all his old sayings like um hey that's whippersnapper
01:11:31.000
oh you that hey daddy oh like he's so uncool and he doesn't get it yeah look at this here
01:11:37.380
so here he is and and no one will talk to him no one cares about him he's wandering around yeah
01:11:45.080
that's one version I don't know where that one's from but uh there's other ones he just wanders
01:11:49.300
around and no one even talks to him because he is not a serious person he's just trying that's
01:11:54.960
Bolsonaro on his right and Xi Jinping on his left and neither give a damn what he has to say he's
01:11:59.940
a child all right it's 2 13 p.m uh let me close by inviting you to regularly get updates for yourself
01:12:09.060
at the truthaboutthewar.com we sent Avi Amini and a cameraman Benji to Israel on short notice
01:12:16.780
and uh at some expense and um we don't know how long they're going to be there for
01:12:22.920
um obviously both have obligations back home but right now they're doing great work
01:12:28.200
and if you want to catch up with what they're doing go the truthaboutthewar.com
01:12:36.740
all right everybody I've got my show tonight at 8 p.m eastern time you can always sign up
01:12:42.540
at rebelnewsplus.com that's the video version it's we call it premium content it's it's uh rebel
01:12:50.660
news plus is what we call it and it's eight bucks a month um which is not a lot of dough
01:12:55.900
to you I'm sure but it adds up to a lot for us because we don't get any money from Trudeau
01:13:00.400
and um you know the audio podcast is free but the video stuff it's eight bucks a month but that's how
01:13:06.760
we survive hey I want to close with just one thing because uh I just saw a story by Joe Warmington
01:13:12.700
involving the Toronto police yesterday I tweeted some pictures of a couple of Toronto cops can you grab
01:13:20.580
my tweet from yesterday so um I believe in a multiracial diverse police force I believe that
01:13:30.180
your police force should have basic standards of of competence and physical fitness and intelligence
01:13:35.500
and the right temperament obviously so I don't believe in lowering standards for everyone but I
01:13:40.800
think it's important that you have a police force that can interact with different parts of your
01:13:47.980
community um if there's a large Chinese community Indo-Canadian community Jewish community Muslim
01:13:53.380
community I think it makes a lot of sense to have someone that has sort of a connection at the end
01:13:59.080
of the day they have to be loyal to to the non-partisan ethnically neutral state but I I really like the
01:14:07.060
idea that uh you can have a multiracial multicultural police force I think you need to and I've seen
01:14:13.040
what happens in cities that don't really have that there's distrust and miscommunication conform now
01:14:19.360
following the the neutral law and applying the you know your policing powers neutrally is critically
01:14:35.140
I don't think that I don't think there's a place for them in the police how could there be
01:14:42.080
that would be like a a police officer let me take it out of the realm of ethnicity
01:14:46.260
if they kept hanging out at a Hell's Angels bar and not as an undercover cop if they were hanging out
01:14:53.500
the Hell's Angels bar if they were you know if they kept going to mafia hangouts or whatever that's
01:15:01.000
maybe not a great example but like if if you were a cop who is expressing your affiliation with a
01:15:08.980
criminal organization like if you were really into um the drug cartels not and not as like a historical
01:15:16.160
study but as like uh an affiliation maybe you shouldn't be a cop so here's what I tweeted yesterday
01:15:23.960
I said hey Toronto police sorry to interrupt but could you please deploy some different police to protect
01:15:30.220
my synagogue this weekend thanks that would be great now can you click on the individual images
01:15:34.380
so there's a cop and you can see his name on his Instagram page and he's looking like a cop
01:15:41.880
special constable and then click the next image oh yeah okay may Allah SWT I don't know what that
01:15:48.700
stands for destroy destroy the oppressors may Allah destroy the oppressors and there's a comparison of
01:15:55.240
Hitler and Netanyahu and then the next image here's another cop um with the Toronto police and the next
01:16:05.500
image and then he's got some Palestine violent stuff that I'm not even going to try and decode
01:16:13.880
so yeah back to my tweet I'm you know what I I like I say I believe there should be police officers of
01:16:19.960
different races and religions but that does not include cops tweeting may Allah destroy them them
01:16:27.960
being the Jews uh so today the police chief of Toronto said we're going to protect different places
01:16:34.600
and our friend Joe Warmington put some questions to give Joe's article handy there yeah right there
01:16:39.900
Toronto police prepared for potential terror called for Friday the 13th
01:16:45.220
and um I think Joe's actually got a newer story where he asks about those two cops I tweeted about
01:16:55.000
um I don't know if you can find it quickly but uh they basically I'll just tell you right now the
01:17:02.960
police standards um say they're going to uh look into it and hopefully they will so yeah the next story
01:17:10.060
yeah yeah that's it right there you can see one of the cops I tweeted Warmington Toronto yeah there
01:17:16.980
we go Toronto police investigating two of their own for alleged hate social media postings and then
01:17:22.420
Joe Warmington's the author and there's one of the images Toronto police have all eyes on any hate
01:17:28.520
directed towards the Jewish community right now but did not expect that would include people from within
01:17:33.400
their own ranks the police service has been forced to investigate two of its own officers for
01:17:38.180
potential hate material spread on social media scroll down just a little bit more um we are aware
01:17:45.380
of the posts and professional standards are investigating spokesperson Stephanie Sayers said
01:17:49.560
Thursday the alleged posts from two Toronto police service members are disturbing and another example
01:17:54.620
of the vitriol stemming from the October 7th terror genocide see the sun will call the terror
01:17:59.680
genocide good for them they left more than a thousand dead many wounded and more than 150 kidnapped
01:18:04.600
one is a Toronto police constable 23 division and one is a special constable in the community safety
01:18:08.980
unit who's employed by Toronto community housing Toronto police have the task and authority to
01:18:13.700
investigate both these two officers allegedly posted commentary blah blah blah across the line at any
01:18:19.220
time let alone following the murderous slaughter at the hands of Hamas good for Joe for calling it like
01:18:24.020
it is and I'm not saying that those Twitter posts should be a crime I believe in freedom of speech
01:18:31.220
even for intolerance speech now by the way in Canada there are terrorism laws that if you support
01:18:36.780
certain terrorist entities under certain definitions of support that's a crime in itself but as I said
01:18:43.640
before although I love the idea of of ethnic cops I really do because it's like seeing different
01:18:49.800
ethnicities in the armed forces they're joined in common cause for a patriotic purpose I find it
01:18:55.200
actually heartwarming to see people of different races and religions in the army I really do I don't know
01:19:00.440
how you feel about it it makes me feel like it's a successful institution that is binding people
01:19:05.940
together on a joint purpose and and giving them a greater thing to believe in that we can all get
01:19:11.080
behind which is the country so I love seeing different minorities in the army I love seeing different
01:19:17.640
minorities in police as long as they're not lowering standards you know you don't want someone who's you
01:19:23.400
know short or weak or super fat or whatever there's a lot of fat cops out there let's be honest
01:19:28.480
like you don't want to reduce the standards you want them to be temperamentally suitable I mean
01:19:33.460
you're giving these people guns but if their hobbies are tweeting in support of a prohibited
01:19:42.700
terrorist group Hamas if their hobbies are saying may Allah destroy the Jews or whatever that guy said
01:19:49.340
yeah then Houston we have a problem holy moly all right well I'm sorry I went on sort of a ramble
01:19:58.700
there with that Howard Jacobson piece I hadn't read it in years and I suppose that's something you read
01:20:03.940
slowly and carefully and think about it's not something you rattle through on a live stream but
01:20:08.620
I think the takeaway from that is look there is pure evil out there it's so evil you will not be able
01:20:15.460
to understand it or process it or accept it and so your mind will try and excuse it by saying well
01:20:20.220
maybe the Jews deserved it and I had a flicker of that feeling when I interviewed that rape slave
01:20:26.780
who had been raped 240 times it was too enormous for me to I couldn't absorb it I had to say no I cannot
01:20:35.380
bear the thought of living in a world where such cruelty and evil happens obviously I didn't say
01:20:41.780
anything you saw I just was very carefully asking questions but I didn't want to believe that such
01:20:48.380
evil was possible because I didn't want to think that I lived in a precarious world where all the
01:20:55.440
luxury and comfort and happiness and safety and prosperity and freedom that I have come to take
01:21:00.960
for granted was paper thin and then on this same marble called earth the same planet there are people
01:21:12.280
who would take rape slaves and rape them and buy them and sell them you heard that Yazidi slave saying
01:21:17.980
women and girls were sold for as little as 10 euros in these slave markets open-air slave markets
01:21:25.220
that's the world we're in and it it stunned me I it was like I was winded when I heard that
01:21:35.300
unfortunately there were thousands maybe tens of thousands god forbid maybe hundreds of thousands
01:21:41.180
of people who support that barbarity within our own country and we have to I think deport the foreigners
01:21:48.940
who believe in violence and for those who are Canadian citizens I don't think it's likely to
01:21:54.760
denaturalize them and deport them but I think we have to integrate them assimilate them into our
01:22:01.000
Canadian norms Japan doesn't have to do that because Japan doesn't have mass immigration Hungary
01:22:06.960
doesn't have to do that Poland doesn't have to do that because they don't have mass immigration
01:22:10.540
we chose mass immigration one million people last year alone most of the immigrant applications
01:22:17.260
don't even meet with an immigration officer it's all done electronically
01:22:20.700
we're bringing into people into Canada people who come from countries that hate us and of course
01:22:28.380
they come here it's the land of prosperity and they enjoy their personal freedom but when push comes
01:22:33.980
to shove and they will side with their ancient legacies and when people are shouting gas the Jews and
01:22:43.480
from the river to the sea Palestine will be free they're cheering for their old tribe in their old place
01:22:48.520
but they're here now and I don't think we can turn a blind eye to that I could not and should not have
01:22:54.920
turned a blind eye to that Yazidi rape slave and I didn't I didn't I just had some inner turmoil
01:22:59.680
and as a country we cannot shy away from these problems within our borders
