00:00:00.000
Hi everybody, Ezra Levant here. I am the Rebel Commander. That's sort of a jokey title I gave
00:00:19.720
myself at Rebel News. Obviously, I'm nothing near as brave as actual commanders in militaries
00:00:26.500
around the world who are fighting against terrorists. I don't even think I'm going to use
00:00:30.960
that title anymore just because it was a joke, but I suppose we are in the battle of ideas and
00:00:36.520
there is definitely a battle on for your mind in the information space. And I think that one of the
00:00:43.560
things when you're looking at this info war is not to lose control of your mind, not to let the other
00:00:51.500
side colonize your mind and incept ideas into your mind. I think one of the definitions of winning
00:00:58.200
a conflict is to conquer the other side's mind. You don't necessarily have to destroy every tank,
00:01:05.460
shoot down every plane, or kill or injure every soldier. You just have to make the other side
00:01:10.640
want to give up or want to stop fighting. And I think that is the technical definition
00:01:17.460
of how a war ends. And it's important not to become demoralized. And you can oversample
00:01:25.020
bad news. And I think in this era of social media and Twitter and 24-7 news and fake news too,
00:01:33.340
you can start to lose hope. You can start to think, surely the whole world has not gone mad. Surely the
00:01:39.040
whole world is not on the precipice of another war. I think it is the worst time in the world since.
00:01:46.160
the Second World War. I mean, perhaps the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world closer to an
00:01:54.540
actual world war than we're seeing now. But other than the Cuban Missile Crisis,
00:01:59.960
I'm not sure if we've seen so many terrifying things in motion. And I just finished saying,
00:02:06.220
don't get down on things. Don't oversample social media. Especially the barbaric clips emerging out of
00:02:13.620
Gaza from the torture and rape and mutilation and burning of women and children and killing infants.
00:02:21.040
Absolutely insane. I won't show you the video, but I saw there's a young woman who,
00:02:28.000
a hostage that Hamas is putting on TV as a hostage. Like it's, it's like a kidnapper hostage proof of
00:02:34.840
life video. They've done hundreds of snuff videos. They're doing a proof of life video with a pregnant
00:02:41.380
woman. I think she's pregnant. Imagine what they would do to her. There were reports that a pregnant
00:02:48.640
woman in Israel, they cut out the baby from her mother's tummy and killed the baby and tummy from
00:02:57.560
her womb. And like just horrific things. Don't oversample that. I think what's so insane.
00:03:05.060
Um, yeah, go ahead and show the video. The video of her being held hostage is not
00:03:10.020
actually brutal itself unless, you know, the context. The context is what makes it brutal.
00:03:19.740
You can find the video on Twitter pretty quickly too. If you type in her last name, I think it's,
00:03:24.700
if you type in her name, I think it's Shem is her last name. S-H-E-M. Um, but besides the barbarity
00:03:31.460
of Hamas, which truly is Nazi-like, I'm worried about other forces. Vladimir Putin is in Beijing
00:03:39.080
today. Uh, there, he certainly is a close and growing closer ally to, um, China, the two
00:03:49.320
regimes that I think are very authoritarian. It was a strategic choice by Henry Kissinger and Richard
00:03:58.400
Nixon to pit China and Russia against each other. There was a tremendous move shocking where the
00:04:10.340
entire West suddenly said, we're done with Taiwan. Yes, Taiwan is a liberal democracy. It wasn't a full
00:04:16.320
democracy back then, but we want to break China away from the Soviets. We want a rift between China
00:04:22.000
and Stalin. Hey, China, come, come and have a Western focus. And, um, that probably made sense at the time
00:04:29.800
because imagine communist China and the Soviet Union together. Well, look at this, look at this warm
00:04:36.240
relations. And Putin said, both Putin and Xi Jinping basically said, we're not going to let any other
00:04:42.680
powers come between us. And there, there are some synergies there. Russia has an enormous amount of oil
00:04:54.500
and natural gas and other minerals. And China is a voracious consumer of those. And there are Western
00:05:03.500
sanctions against Russia. China doesn't abide those. There are Western sanctions on Iran also. China buys all
00:05:10.940
the Iranian oil can get its hands on. India did too, by the way. So we see Russia, which is a bit
00:05:19.940
ambivalent. China, which is giving out pro-Hamas messages. Iran, which is the patron of Hamas. The U.S.
00:05:28.880
has sailed, is sailing two aircraft carrier groups to Israel. Joe Biden is visiting the Moral.
00:05:34.780
I think you have all the world powers in a frenzy. And I don't even know what America's intentions are,
00:05:43.860
to be honest. Uh, we had heard that the Israeli invasion of Gaza would have begun by now, but that's
00:05:52.200
obviously being delayed. Joe Biden is arriving tomorrow. I think he's going to say, hey, Israel,
00:05:57.880
don't fight back. I tweeted earlier today, Olivia, maybe you can find it, uh, a tweet of, um,
00:06:07.000
a White House spokesman named Kirby. If you, if you search on Twitter for Kirby and ceasefire,
00:06:13.020
those two words, yeah, that's it right there. Here's, here's, um, a White House spokesman talking
00:06:19.240
about the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine, where there have been 400,000 deaths. Is it 8
00:06:28.520
million refugees? And here's the White House saying never a ceasefire, never, no, no, no, no. Take a
00:06:36.120
listen. Hey, uh, that if coming out of this meeting, there's some sort of call for a ceasefire. Well,
00:06:42.560
that's just going to be unacceptable because all that's going to do, Mike, is ratify Russia's conquest
00:06:47.460
to date. All that's going to do is give Mr. Putin more time to refit, retrain, remand, uh, and try to,
00:06:53.860
uh, to, to plan for, for renewed offensives at a time of his choosing. Uh, we hope, and we've said
00:06:59.540
this before, that Mr. President Xi will call and talk to President Zelensky because we believe the
00:07:04.820
Chinese need to get the Ukrainian perspective here. Hey. So as you can tell, that was, there was a few
00:07:11.780
months ago, but it's been the, the standard message of the White House is never have a ceasefire,
00:07:17.040
always fight back. And if you listen to Zelensky, who is just as hardline, he says, no ceasefire
00:07:23.600
until we reconquer the land that Russia took. And sometimes the Ukrainian position is actually take
00:07:30.080
back Crimea, which was annexed into Russia years ago. And I should say hundreds of thousands of men
00:07:38.640
have died and probably a hundred thousand civilians. I don't know the civilian death toll, but the military
00:07:44.080
death toll itself is around 400,000. Um, and, um, Israel is being told, no, have a ceasefire
00:07:55.360
immediately, no invasion. These Nazi style attacks that butchered brutally women and children, emphasizing
00:08:05.440
women and children. That, um, you gotta, you gotta have a ceasefire before you even put one foot
00:08:12.960
into the Gaza Strip. I find that very curious, don't you? Um, by the way, here, I think we have the video
00:08:22.560
of that, uh, proof of life video of the young woman. I'm not sure if she's pregnant, but you can see her
00:08:28.800
there, uh, on a, uh, Hamas video, uh, it's a, it's a hostage video. And my understanding is there are
00:08:46.640
199 hostages. Whether or not they, uh, are still alive or have been tortured,
00:08:55.440
in what ways they've been abused, we don't quite know. But imagine that that is the official public
00:09:03.120
face of Hamas. And yet governments and countless citizens around the world are cheering for them.
00:09:12.560
That's a terrorist, criminal, Nazi, barbaric, brutal, Stone Age
00:09:19.280
approach. And that, they're not hiding that. As we said the other day, the Nazis did not tell the
00:09:27.760
world what they were doing in the death camps. They kept it confidential, even from their own German
00:09:35.280
population. And I think I mentioned the other day, I was reading about, um, how when the allies
00:09:43.920
liberated the concentration camps, they would take the local townspeople and make them walk through it
00:09:48.640
to see what had been there. And I actually understand that some of those, I was reading
00:09:53.040
the other day that some of those people who were forced to witness what was done by the Nazi regime
00:09:58.000
committed suicide. They were so appalled and felt so guilty for what had been done right under their
00:10:05.600
noses. But Hitler was not putting out movies and videos and radio, and they didn't have videos back
00:10:12.240
then. He was not putting out photographs or movies of the death camps. In fact, the opposite.
00:10:17.760
He was putting out propaganda saying they were just work camps.
00:10:22.400
Hamas is going further than the Nazis did. The chancellor of Germany, the new chancellor's name is
00:10:29.840
Schultz, apparently was in Israel and he had a joint press conference. I think we have a clip of that.
00:10:35.920
Let's take a look at Netanyahu and Schultz in the joint press conference.
00:10:40.000
Sorry, I've caught Olivia off guard there. She was looking for other videos that I asked her to.
00:10:49.440
It is accurate to say Hamas are the new Nazis. They call for the eradication of Jews and they are
00:10:55.920
brutal and use torture and it's for the annihilation of the Jewish people. Other than one speaks Arabic
00:11:02.960
and the other spoke German, what is the difference? Here's Netanyahu.
00:11:05.440
I see crimes against the Jewish people on the soil of Germany and Europe. I must tell you,
00:11:12.160
my friend, that the savagery that we witnessed perpetrated by the Hamas murderers coming out of
00:11:21.760
Gaza were the worst crimes committed against Jews since the Holocaust.
00:11:27.920
The decapitation of people, the shooting of little children with bound hands,
00:11:34.960
the murder of children in front of their parents, the murder of parents in front of their children,
00:11:40.320
the hiding of babies in the attic and the murderers who came to the attic to murder the babies,
00:11:46.240
the rape and murder of women, the abduction of families, the tearing of grandmothers and Holocaust
00:11:55.280
survivors into captivity. The death pits that remind us of Babiar, where jeeps surround a depression in
00:12:06.640
the ground, where they crowd young people in and they shoot them with machine guns. This is the savagery
00:12:15.520
that we only remember from the Nazi crimes at the Holocaust. Hamas are the new Nazis. Hamas is ISIS,
00:12:24.800
in some instances, in some instances worse than ISIS. And just as the world united to defeat the Nazis,
00:12:33.040
just as the world united to defeat ISIS, the world has to stand united behind Israel to defeat Hamas.
00:12:45.680
And I will find out what Joe Biden says tomorrow. Joe Biden is like Trudeau in some ways. He has
00:12:53.760
Jewish donors. He wants to be polite company. He's a liberal. So he says he's definitely against
00:13:00.640
terrorism. But Joe Biden was the vice president of Barack Obama when the two of them normalized
00:13:08.240
relations with Iran, transferred billions of dollars to Iran, including six billion dollars just a few
00:13:13.360
weeks ago. In fact, I think tomorrow is a day that the US, some certain sanctions against Iran for
00:13:21.040
ballistic missiles is set to expire. The latest I've seen is that the Biden administration refuses to
00:13:29.520
acknowledge that Iran has any paternity over the terrorist attack in Israel. So I think Biden is
00:13:36.960
going to Israel to tell Israel to stand down. And as insane as it sounds, I think those two aircraft
00:13:44.480
carriers are being deployed not to fight against a foreign air force. What air force would they be
00:13:50.640
deployed against? Syria doesn't really have an air force. Iran doesn't really have an air force. Hamas
00:13:57.600
only has those paragliders. What are all those F-35s or whatever the jets are on the aircraft? Who would they
00:14:04.800
fight against? They're obviously not going to attack Hamas. They might attack Hezbollah in Lebanon,
00:14:11.600
but I think they're actually there to say to Israel, don't get any big ideas about taking
00:14:16.480
out the Hamas leadership in Qatar. Don't get any big ideas about taking out the Iran nuclear facility.
00:14:25.680
I actually think as insane as it would be for the US military to say to Israel, don't do something,
00:14:33.920
and we're here to make sure you don't. That is what you would expect them to do given the US
00:14:41.040
administration's ongoing support for Iran. Their ongoing decision to pay money to Iran,
00:14:47.440
to lift sanctions from Iran, to legitimize Iran. I believe that Joe Biden's primary goal in visiting
00:14:55.840
Israel is to get them not to attack Iran. You tell me what the other goal would be. Why are you sending
00:15:01.600
two aircraft carriers? Why hasn't Israel attacked yet? I'm quite worried about an attack on Gaza.
00:15:09.520
I think it's too reminiscent of Stalingrad. I think it's a trap in many ways. I think the proper
00:15:16.160
response is a decapitation attack against the Hamas leadership. That's what Trump did to Soleimani,
00:15:22.240
a senior Iranian commander, when Iran killed some Americans. Trump didn't declare war on Iran and
00:15:31.200
kill a lot of ordinary Iranian soldiers. He took out the top guy.
00:15:38.640
I don't think Biden wants Netanyahu to do that. I think that's why he sent those carrier groups.
00:15:44.960
Some people have said, including Nikki Haley, I think it's absolutely insane. Nikki Haley said,
00:15:51.760
oh, well, we can take a million people from Gaza. Really? And she's a Republican. I've never heard
00:15:58.560
anything so insane in my life. This from a security point of view. But why would Nikki Haley volunteer to
00:16:08.880
take a million Gazans if the King of Jordan and the President of Egypt won't take one? Here,
00:16:15.600
take a look at the King of Jordan, making it crystal clear he and no other Arab countries want any of
00:16:21.680
that. Take a listen. Just a part of the question on the issues of refugees coming to Jordan. And I think
00:16:27.120
I can quite strongly speak on behalf not only of Jordan as a nation, but of our friends in Egypt.
00:16:34.240
That is a red line. Because I think that is the plan by certain of the usual suspects
00:16:39.120
to try and create de facto issues on the ground. No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt.
00:16:47.120
And let me give you a little bit of history. The PLO, the People's Palestinian Liberation Army,
00:16:53.120
the essential Palestinian terrorist group from the 70s and 80s, they were in Jordan. And they basically
00:17:00.000
had a bit of an uprising and Jordan kicked them out. They went to Lebanon and almost destroyed that
00:17:06.560
country. Israel went in to kick them out. Then they went to Tunis. They don't want...
00:17:14.720
And by the way, about 60% of the population of Jordan, ethnically speaking, is Palestinian.
00:17:19.760
Could you imagine if you brought Hamas operatives, Hamas supporters to Jordan?
00:17:28.800
They would topple the king. And you heard the king. He speaks flawless English.
00:17:32.080
Jordan is one of the more moderate Arab regimes. It's had peace with Israel, not a particularly warm
00:17:36.960
peace, but it's had peace with Israel for decades. And it has a fairly close working relationship with
00:17:43.040
Israel in terms of security. You think they're going to take 50,000, 100,000, quarter million
00:17:48.480
Palestinian refugees from Gaza, many of whom are trained to support Gaza ideologically and in
00:17:55.840
terms of violence? He's not crazy. But those are things in the Middle East. And we live here in Canada
00:18:05.120
and in North America. And there's plenty of things for us to be worried about here. Some people say,
00:18:09.360
Ezra, what are you doing talking? What are you talking about those foreign entanglements for?
00:18:14.960
And I believe that North America, one of the best things about it is it's far away from entanglements,
00:18:20.720
isn't it? As Senator Dandran said about Canada 100 years ago, we're a fireproof house far away from
00:18:28.960
inflammable material. And he was right. It's not right anymore. We have brought into our heartland
00:18:37.680
thousands, tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people who support violence
00:18:43.280
as a way of solving a political or religious grievance. And we had our reporters out across
00:18:50.640
the country over the last few days. And we saw some astonishing things. Let me just ask you a
00:18:57.360
question. If I said to you, how would you get your hands on a swastika flag, a Nazi flag?
00:19:04.640
You would probably scratch your head a bit and say, well, if I'm not in the theater business where
00:19:10.080
you'd have a prop, maybe, there'd be no store you could buy one from. Maybe you'd order it online.
00:19:17.280
And I don't know. I mean, I'm sure you could find a place to order online. And I bet you 99% of those
00:19:22.720
are FBI front groups wanting to know who's buying swastika flags. But that's sort of
00:19:29.600
how I think one would get it. But how do you get a Taliban flag? I'm pretty sure Amazon's not selling
00:19:37.600
that. How do you get a Islamic State flag? How do you get like the actual real bona fide terrorist
00:19:45.920
flag, the real deal flag of banned terrorist groups and some of them fairly obscure?
00:19:52.240
And how do you have it? And you can see what I'm talking about right here in Mississauga.
00:20:00.080
And that's a big old, is that a Yukon Excel or something or a Suburban?
00:20:04.640
It's a big old $100,000 Suburban. I'm guessing that thing drives for Uber.
00:20:10.560
I may have been in that vehicle. Big old, big old, what do they call that? King cab.
00:20:25.280
He's got a Taliban flag. Yeah, put that back on the screen, please.
00:20:29.200
Where would you get a Taliban flag? How do you get it?
00:20:31.520
And you just have that kicking around your living room or in your closet and you're just ready to
00:20:41.920
bring it on out? I'm not talking about the one that's in the car there that they're rolling out,
00:20:46.480
but the big one is flying. I guess either one of them. Where do you get those? There are people in
00:20:53.360
Canada who have Taliban flags at home. And we saw another one. What was the other one we saw?
00:21:05.520
Islamic Jihad. Yeah, thank you. Now this one here, like maybe that Taliban one could have been homemade
00:21:11.360
or something, but this one here is like, who has the Islamic Jihad, the black flag of Islamic Jihad?
00:21:20.400
That's not homemade. Where do you get that from? And he's not hiding his face. Put it back. Yeah,
00:21:26.400
play it one more time. He's not hiding his face. He's not an agent provocateur. That's him.
00:21:32.960
He's proud of it. Where do you get that? Just got that kicking around?
00:21:42.160
How many people in Canada have those, like my point about how do you get a swastika flag? It's not easy.
00:21:49.120
I don't think it would be easy. There's a lot of people who have terrorist flags. Flags have
00:21:55.920
actually banned terrorist groups. Going to marches for those groups. Now it is not a crime. By the way,
00:22:02.800
it is not a crime to own a swastika flag. It's not even a crime in Canada to be a Nazi. It's not a crime.
00:22:11.040
It is not a crime in itself to have a Taliban flag or to have an Islamic Jihad flag. It is a crime,
00:22:21.360
however, since both Islamic Jihad and the Taliban are banned terrorist organizations. It is a crime in
00:22:27.600
in the criminal code, punishable after 10 years in prison, to support those groups. And there's the
00:22:34.560
four words, participate, instruct, harbor, and I forget what the fourth one is, assist or something.
00:22:42.160
So it is, or travel or something, I can't remember. But there's four things that you cannot do with
00:22:48.400
an illegal terrorist group. And I'm guessing if you've got a Taliban flag at home,
00:22:57.120
you're probably affiliated with them. Participating, facilitating, instructing,
00:23:01.040
and harboring. Throw that on the screen just for one second. Here's the criminal code. You can search
00:23:06.080
for yourself. Just Google criminal code terrorist provisions. Every person who knowingly participates
00:23:12.480
in or contributes to directly, indirectly. So participating, facilitating, instructing,
00:23:17.360
and harboring, those are the four things you cannot do. Now, if you've got a terrorist flag at home
00:23:22.960
when you go to a pro-terrorist march, are you participating? Are you participating? Are you
00:23:28.640
facilitating? You may be. You may be. No charges in Cannes, of course. That would be too embarrassing.
00:23:40.240
Speaking of which, Arif Varani, who, if I'm not mistaken, I got to keep track. There's so many
00:23:44.640
cabinet shuffles. I think he's the justice minister now, right? So he was speaking at a
00:23:50.080
anti-Semitism conference in Ottawa. And I should say it was a conference against anti-Semitism,
00:23:55.680
because given how many rallies there are for anti-Semitism these days, you've got to be careful.
00:24:00.720
So Arif Varani, who's a Liberal cabinet minister, was speaking at this anti-Semitism conference,
00:24:06.720
and he didn't announce any criminal charges against Hamas supporters for
00:24:12.480
spreading hatred. He didn't announce any criminal charges against Hamas supporters for participating,
00:24:21.360
harboring, instructing, or facilitating terrorism. Didn't announce any criminal charges against the
00:24:27.920
Taliban flag guy, against the Islamic Jihad flag guy. Didn't do that. But he did take the opportunity,
00:24:36.320
in fact, there's a CBC story. If you want to just show that CBC story, let me read this.
00:24:46.000
At conference confronting anti-Semitism, justice minister promises online harms legislation.
00:24:55.440
Bill was first introduced prior to last election, promising it within 100 days of vote.
00:25:00.960
At a conference on confronting anti-Semitism on Monday, justice minister Arif Varani repeated a
00:25:07.520
standing promise of the federal government to combat online harms with new legislation,
00:25:12.400
but offered no timeline. Quote, we need a safe and secure digital environment as much as we need
00:25:16.640
safe streets in our communities, Varani said before an audience gathered by the Center for Israel and
00:25:20.880
Jewish Affairs in Ottawa. Okay, so the justice minister doesn't have a word to say against the Hamas rallies,
00:25:29.360
because they're part of his election base, they're part of his voter base, doesn't have a word to say
00:25:33.360
about what's actually going on in the streets. In Toronto, a Jewish school, there were three
00:25:41.040
young men who threatened the kids and then threw a rock through a window.
00:25:47.200
Arif Varani, the liberal justice minister, doesn't have a word to say about that.
00:25:51.360
Three suspected Hamas supporters arrested after alleged threats to Toronto Jewish school,
00:25:57.840
police deployed inside classroom. So Arif Varani, he's not got really anything to say about this,
00:26:04.720
but he's going to use the pretext to go after online comments.
00:26:10.640
I've read that online harms proposal. The actual final version of the bill has not been submitted,
00:26:19.680
but the government, it was sort of odd. They published sort of all their backgrounders,
00:26:23.200
all their goals, all their, like they, they dumped hundreds of pages of their plans for this bill online.
00:26:28.160
And I don't know if we can find it easily. Stephen Gilbeau was the heritage minister.
00:26:35.120
Do we have that clip where he talks about the nuclear option? You know what I'm talking about?
00:26:38.720
He says that under the, pardon me? Sure. Yeah. Take a shot. So Stephen Gilbeau,
00:26:47.440
when he first talked about the online harms act, said two things about it. There's actually two clips,
00:26:52.480
Efron, and don't knock yourself out finding them, but they are quite something. It's so astonishing.
00:26:56.800
People might not believe me without seeing it with their own eyes. He said, first of all,
00:27:01.440
one of the things that this bill should do is protect politicians from criticism. I swear to God,
00:27:08.160
he said that, I swear to God. And then the second thing he said is this bill is so powerful. It even
00:27:16.240
has what he called the nuclear option. Those are his words, where he says they can actually delete a
00:27:23.920
website, just order it off the internet, North Korea style. I, I, I'm taking my first breath,
00:27:34.160
half an hour has gone by. Let's do this. Let's have a quick commercial break. Cause there's some
00:27:39.440
important things I want you to see. I want you to see some of the things that rebel news is up to.
00:27:44.480
We've got some events coming up. We've got things I want you to see. So please do me a favor and
00:27:49.040
watch these ads, but then come back on the other side and I'm going to show you if we can muster them.
00:27:55.680
Stephen Gilbeau saying the online harms act, one of its goals is to stop politicians from being
00:28:01.280
criticized. And number two, they reserve the power to have the nuclear option, which is literally to
00:28:09.600
ban, delete, vaporize. Well, he used the word nuclear
00:28:16.320
websites. He doesn't like here's the commercials. We'll be right back on the other side.
00:28:20.720

00:30:34.640
Welcome back. Nice to see you. Before the break, I was telling you that Arif Arani, the new justice
00:30:40.000
minister who replaced David Lamedi, I think David Lamedi was probably the most crooked justice
00:30:45.920
minister we've had in a generation. Remember, he was the one that Justin Trudeau put in to replace
00:30:50.560
Jody Wilson-Rabel because Jody Wilson-Rabel was too honest. That's why she was fired. Because Justin
00:30:56.080
Trudeau wanted Jody Wilson-Rabel to drop a criminal prosecution of his friends at SNC-Lavalin for
00:31:02.000
corruption. They had already admitted to the corruption, huge corruption. SNC-Lavalin, such a
00:31:07.280
corrupt company they just finally chose to change their name. It would be like if Pfizer changed their
00:31:12.080
name just to get rid of all the bad press. That's what SNC-Lavalin did. And so Trudeau wanted his
00:31:19.360
justice department to lay off, but they had a very honest cabinet minister named Jody Wilson-Raybould.
00:31:23.840
So they fired her and they put in David Lamedi. Imagine being that guy. What does that say about you?
00:31:30.160
Anyway, they rotated him out because he was just so awful. And Arif Arani is the new justice minister.
00:31:35.280
And so he tells an anti-Semitism conference, and I have to clarify, it was a conference against
00:31:40.960
anti-Semitism that's, you got to check these days, that he's going to introduce this online
00:31:47.520
harms act as if it was online harms that killed 1400 people in Israel, as if it was online harms that
00:31:56.480
these pro-Hamas protesters on our street, the Taliban flag, the Islamic jihad flag.
00:32:05.520
And I mentioned that Stephen Gilboa, one of the worst cabinet ministers out there,
00:32:12.000
when he was talking about this, he said two insane things that were never retracted or repudiated
00:32:18.080
because he meant them. I don't know if you can call them dumb. I call them dumb sometimes.
00:32:26.480
But I don't think he's dumb. I think he's just malicious. I think he doesn't have a
00:32:32.160
democratic or liberal bone in his body. I think he's a bit of a fascist in his own way.
00:32:38.080
So I don't think I should call them dumb. Anyway, here he is telling a reporter named Anna Caradilia
00:32:46.000
a couple of things. So do we have two of the clips? One of them, which one is this? Which clip is this?
00:32:50.480
This is the this is what he says that they reserve the right to nuke websites they don't like. Take a look at this.
00:32:59.040
Envision having blocking orders. I mean, that's that
00:33:10.480
it would likely be a last resolve, last resolved
00:33:14.480
nuclear bomb in a in a toolbox of mechanism for a regulator.
00:33:23.840
that's your go to metaphor. If you don't like something on the Internet,
00:33:30.240
you're in your toolbox boxes, a nuclear bomb to destroy a website, to delete it, to block it.
00:33:36.000
I don't even know what he really means to do, but a nuclear bomb suggests that it'll be pretty bad.
00:33:41.360
And do we have that other quote where he talks about
00:33:46.480
one of the uses for the online harms act is to stop people criticizing politicians?
00:34:00.560
it's got nothing to do with protecting against anti-Semitism.
00:34:05.280
It's got everything to do with protecting against anti-liberal party activists.
00:34:11.200
In fact, I I'm not kidding when I say I've heard other journalists
00:34:14.960
refer to these censorship bills as the kill rebel bills.
00:34:18.480
I've heard that from two different journalists, that that's what these bills are really about.
00:34:29.280
Oh, as you're exaggerating. Really? Take a listen to this.
00:34:32.720
We've seen too many examples of public officials
00:34:36.080
retreating from public service due to the hateful online content
00:34:39.520
targeted towards themselves or even their families.
00:34:47.920
That's what this is about. I think there was a question that precipitated that answer.
00:34:52.320
This is about stopping people from hating politicians.
00:34:58.960
And imagine, you know, imagine, but yeah, he's gonna he's gonna stop anti-Semitism by censoring the internet.
00:35:05.840
I first of all, censoring the internet is like bailing out the ocean with a thimble there.
00:35:13.520
But I don't think the problem in Canada is the internet.
00:35:20.640
I think the problem in Canada are tens, maybe hundreds of thousands, God forbid, more of people
00:35:26.880
who just plain old support terrorism and they say so.
00:35:33.120
All right. Well, I don't want to just talk about
00:35:35.760
the war. I think I think we are in a I think we are closer to World War three than at any time
00:35:43.680
since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I just think we are.
00:35:47.680
I think that I find what Joe Biden is doing very confusing and I can't help but have those dark
00:35:55.360
thoughts that Joe Biden is the pro Iran president who actually wants Iran to be a global, a regional
00:36:01.600
superpower. They've said as much. They've said as much. We'll see what he says tomorrow, but more
00:36:09.760
importantly, we'll see what he does when he's in Israel. I want to show one more clip, but I want to
00:36:16.400
sort of transition from war clips to other things. The CBC, as you know, has an explicit policy not to
00:36:23.440
use the word terrorist when talking about Hamas, which is sort of quirky because as we showed you
00:36:29.280
every day and we can even show you again right now, if you Google terrorist list Canada, you know,
00:36:35.760
there is a terrorist list and it's published by our Department of Public Security. And it's very
00:36:41.520
easy to find. It's called, they call them listed entities. And as you can see, this is on the public
00:36:47.600
safety website. You see all these ones here? Al-Shabaab, Al-Aska Mosque. You know, there's a lot of,
00:36:55.200
there's a few obscure ones from other countries, but they're, they're pretty much Islamic. We
00:37:02.160
mentioned the Islamic jihad flag. I think if you scroll down a tiny bit more, you'll see,
00:37:10.080
you know, there's just, there's just so many ones. I mean, Hamas is on there. Hamas
00:37:14.240
is actually an acronym. Yeah. So Taliban is on here. Hamas is on here.
00:37:19.360
Um, my point of mentioning that is because it's not a matter of opinion
00:37:25.840
in Canada. If Hamas is a terrorist group, it is, it's right there on the list. Um,
00:37:33.200
you can say you don't like it to be that way. You can say you disagree, but Hamas is
00:37:39.920
a terrorist group in Canada. If it makes you feel better, you can say, which has been designated a
00:37:46.560
terrorist group by the Canadian government. You can say that if it makes you feel better,
00:37:51.280
but it's the truth. So how can Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster have a written policy? This isn't
00:38:00.400
just rumors. This is a written policy that they do not deny. How do you do that?
00:38:06.480
When, how do you say, how do you decline to call them terrorists when they are terrorists?
00:38:17.760
And of course, by any possible real life measurement, they're terrorists.
00:38:24.000
And so, um, Rachel Harder, or who goes by Rachel Thomas, sorry, I, she was married and I think her
00:38:30.800
name is, is your last name Thomas now? Uh, so I remember when she was elected as Rachel Harder,
00:38:36.320
she's an MP from Lethbridge and she wants to ask the government media company about this policy.
00:38:45.040
And normally I would say, where does any politician get off asking a journalist anything?
00:38:52.560
But these aren't journalists understand their government journalists, which is completely
00:38:58.640
different. If you are a government journalist, you are actually a PR rep. You are a spin doctor.
00:39:05.040
You are an errand boy. You're a communications director, whatever you are, but you are not a
00:39:09.680
journalist. If you work for, are paid by answer to, uh, the government of Canada, you are not a
00:39:16.800
journalist. And as long as you're taking $1.5 billion a year from taxpayers, and as long as
00:39:22.640
you're doing things in the name of the government, I think you should answer questions about that.
00:39:27.760
And the fact that they're so uncomfortable about it tells us something. And the fact that the liberals
00:39:31.840
and then the NDP are protecting them tells you something about them too. Here's Rachel Thomas
00:39:37.920
The CBC just keeps getting worse and worse. According to a leaked memo, their director of
00:39:45.040
journalistic standards instructed those who work there to refrain from referring to Hamas as a
00:39:49.280
terrorist organization. Now remember, this is a group of militant men who went in and killed 1400
00:39:55.520
people in a night. This is a group of militant men who kidnapped, raped and murdered women and then
00:40:02.640
took their naked bodies and flaunted them in the streets. This is a group of militant men who went in and
00:40:07.120
beheaded 40 innocent babies. This is no doubt a terrorist organization. Canada has had them
00:40:14.720
officially listed as such for more than 20 years. Now to justify itself, the CBC said, well, to call
00:40:21.360
Hamas terrorists is to take a side. No doubt it's to take a side. It's to take the side of the innocent.
00:40:28.160
If you're not there, where are you? These acts that I just described are pure evil. And for our public
00:40:34.640
broadcaster to somehow try to get away with describing them as something less is terrifying.
00:40:40.800
We're talking about a public broadcaster that receives $1.2 billion in taxpayer money each and
00:40:46.720
every year. It's our job to hold them to account. So my conservative colleagues and I are bringing
00:40:51.840
them to committee, or at least moving a motion to do so. We're doing that this morning. We'll keep you posted.
00:40:57.280
Okay. Well, I'll tell you how it ended. The other parties refused to have that. But I'm glad that
00:41:04.240
I'm glad that the conservative party are so vigorous on calling to Hamas a terrorist group. And I'm glad
00:41:10.800
they're beating up the CBC because you cannot accept that the CBC are journalists. You cannot grant them
00:41:18.320
that. I have yet to see the conservative party of Canada do anything more substantive though.
00:41:28.160
I haven't seen them call for the deportation of non-citizens who support Hamas. That should be
00:41:34.000
pretty easy. I'm not saying denaturalize someone who is now a citizen, but if you're a foreign student
00:41:40.560
here on a student visa and you're a guest of the country and you think that instead of studying,
00:41:45.360
you should be on the streets chanting death to the Jews, I think you should go home.
00:41:50.320
And I think that would cool off a lot of the worst actors on campus. I remember it was 30 years ago
00:41:56.400
now, but I was on university campus and there were kids from Syria, from extreme anti-Semitic countries
00:42:03.120
like that who were at the University of Calgary. They would take one course a year to be registered
00:42:08.480
students and they would spend 90% of their time just organizing against Canada and against the Jews.
00:42:13.360
And how about go home and do that somewhere else? How about don't take up a slot that a Canadian
00:42:19.760
student could be at? How about if you're not here to learn, if you're here to spread your
00:42:25.040
terrorist propaganda, how about go home? I don't know if the conservatives will show courage to do
00:42:30.320
that and I don't even think it takes a lot of courage. Will they prosecute anyone for participating,
00:42:35.520
instructing, harboring, or I can't remember the four things that you can't do for a terrorist group?
00:42:41.280
Will we see that? Will they talk about the sheer numbers of immigrants to Canada who are not vetted?
00:42:50.720
We're bringing a million people a year now and they're not vetted. There's no meetings. You don't
00:42:56.240
have an interview anymore. It's all a paper application form or online. So I'm still waiting
00:43:01.120
to see if the conservatives are real. But I have a little bit of hope. I want to show you a video
00:43:07.200
that is so entertaining. But I think it also shows a refusal to play the media's game.
00:43:14.640
And it's by Pierre Polyev. And I think he was out in BC. I think that's an apple orchard in BC. There
00:43:21.680
are apple orchards in other provinces too, including Ontario. But I'm pretty sure this is in BC. And I'm
00:43:27.040
pretty sure the name of this journalist is Derek Urquhart from Castanet. And that's not particularly
00:43:33.760
important. This is a two minute excerpt from a larger interview. And this is just, it's so good.
00:43:41.920
Without further commentary, take a quick look at Pierre Polyev.
00:43:46.080
On the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking the
00:43:52.560
populist pathway. What does that mean? Well, appealing to people's more emotional levels,
00:44:01.680
I would guess. I mean, certainly you tap very strong ideological language quite frequently. Like what?
00:44:10.000
Left wing, you know, this and that, right wing. I mean, it's that type of ideological thing.
00:44:17.600
I never really talk about left or right. I don't really believe in that.
00:44:20.640
Okay. A lot of people would say that you're simply taking a page out of the Donald Trump book.
00:44:29.040
Well, I'm sure a great many Canadians, but. Like who?
00:44:34.240
I don't know who, but. Well, you're the one who asked the question, so you must know somebody.
00:44:38.400
Okay. I'm sure there's some out there, but anyways, the point of this, the point of this question is,
00:44:44.720
I mean, why should, why should Canadians trust you with their vote given, you know,
00:44:51.920
not, not just the sort of ideological inclination in terms of taking the page out of Donald Trump's
00:44:56.800
book, but also. What are you talking about? What page? What page? Can you give me a page?
00:45:00.080
Give me the page. You keep saying that. In terms of turning things quite dramatically in terms of,
00:45:05.360
of Trudeau and, and the left wing and all of this. I mean, you, you, you make quite a, you know,
00:45:09.920
it's, it's quite a play that you make on it. So I'm, I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't know what
00:45:15.200
your question is. Okay. Then forget that. Why should Canadians trust you with their vote?
00:45:20.480
Common sense, common sense for, for a change. We're going to make common sense common in this country.
00:45:28.560
We don't have any common sense in the current government. You know, the guy print 600 billion
00:45:35.200
grows, our money supply by 32% in three years. That's growing the money eight times faster than
00:45:42.640
the economy. No wonder we have the worst of inflation in four decades. I'm going to cap spending,
00:45:49.040
cut waste so that we can balance the budget and bring down inflation and interest rates. You'll want
00:45:53.200
to be able to pay your mortgage again. You want to be able to afford rent. Then you have to vote for
00:45:57.040
Pierre Polyev because I'm the only one with a common sense plan that will bring back the buying
00:46:03.520
power of your paycheck. You know, I'm just going to send a little bit. I'm going to send you a story.
00:46:09.280
I just put it in the, in the Slack channel there. I think I, that reporter was not identified,
00:46:16.560
but if you click on the story that I just sent you, I think that's where it was taken. You can see,
00:46:22.960
this is from a few days ago in, um, in British Columbia and you can see that's what he was wearing,
00:46:31.360
right? Pierre Polyev that I think he was wearing that outfit and he's standing in front of an apple
00:46:36.800
orchard. So I think it's pretty clearly that's where it was. And if you scroll down, sorry. And if you,
00:46:42.080
if you look at who wrote the story, you see, it says Don Urquhart there and then click on his name.
00:46:47.920
You see where it says photo Don Urquhart. Yeah. Click on that. And then you should get,
00:46:54.880
and yeah, just click on that there and just show that that's him, right? He was wearing a hat. So I
00:47:02.080
think we've found out that that's Don Urquhart from the times Chronicle, which is, uh, a Kelowna,
00:47:07.680
uh, uh, Castanet is sort of the chain times Chronicle in Kelowna, Don Urquhart. So I think
00:47:14.720
we found the mystery of, uh, who that is. So let's go back and read the story.
00:47:21.920
Um, cause he both took the photo. And as you can see right under the headline, he wrote,
00:47:28.720
he, he's the byline for the story. Pierre Polyev was in town Wednesday,
00:47:32.320
capping the visit off with a rally in Oliver. Let's read a little bit. I have actually not read this
00:47:36.960
before. I just want to see, are you, Olivia, are you curious how that reporter, uh, reported things
00:47:43.520
given how Pierre Polyev so calmly ate an apple and ate his lunch? Take a look.
00:47:50.320
Official opposition and conservative party leader, Pierre Polyev vowed to take on colleges of physicians
00:47:54.240
and surgeons, along with any other hurdles to getting immigrant doctors rapidly licensed and
00:47:58.320
practicing in Canada. Polyev made the comments to the times Chronicle in Oliver after meeting this
00:48:02.880
week with fruit growers from the area. I'm going to skip ahead because they're talking about a
00:48:07.760
particular proposal. Okay. And then he gets to when, when asked why Canadians should trust him with their
00:48:14.640
votes, given his demonstrable track record of flip-flopping on key issues. Oh, and what some
00:48:23.200
consider his use of polarizing ideologically infused rhetoric, suggesting he simply takes pages out of
00:48:29.680
the Donald Trump populist playbook. Polyev became acerbic.
00:48:37.760
Ultimately the answer was common sense. We're going to make common sense common in this country.
00:48:43.600
We don't have any common sense anymore. Um, is that an accurate reflection of the conversation we just saw?
00:48:53.040
Again and again and again, this guy, Don Urquhart put to Polyev, oh, you're just taking a page out of
00:49:01.520
Donald Trump. I don't even think he accused him of flip-flopping. I think that was just injected later
00:49:05.920
here. So you, you saw that gorgeous back and forth and acerbic sort of means like, uh, a little bit
00:49:13.280
sharp and a little bit, you know, um, I'd have to, what exactly is the definition of acerbic, uh,
00:49:30.000
maybe, but I think Pierre Polyev was pretty calm. And I think eating the apple was just the perfect
00:49:36.240
touch. I don't think Polyev came across as aggressive or hostile. He asked very basic questions to a very
00:49:42.960
dopey reporter who said, a lot of people are saying, a lot of people say, people say,
00:49:52.080
Whenever a reporter says, a lot of people say, some pundits wonder, some critics say, they're just saying,
00:49:58.240
I think, but they don't have the courage or they know it sounds awful to say, I think you're like Donald Trump.
00:50:05.600
And was it three times there, Polyev? So give me an example. Who says that? What did I do?
00:50:10.960
And, and the reason why, uh, Don Erkehart came across so stupid is because he knew that he was
00:50:20.240
the guy writing the story. So he would hide his stupidity, but it's a bit of a miracle. We had that
00:50:25.680
video. I don't know who was recording that video. Maybe it was Polyev's own staff, which was great if it
00:50:30.800
was because now we know the difference between what really happened and what, um, Don Erkehart said
00:50:38.400
happened. Yeah. I mean, let me just read that part again. It's just so gorgeous here.
00:50:44.560
Let me just find it there. I just got to find the part where, where, uh,
00:50:53.520
sorry, I'm jumping around a bit when asked why Canadians should trust him, um, with their votes,
00:51:06.960
given his demonstrable track record of flip-flopping on key issues. Was he actually asked that Olivia?
00:51:12.160
I don't think he was. I don't think so. I think he was just talking about Donald Trump populist
00:51:19.520
right wing, left wing. I've watched that clip three times. I can tell you there's nothing in there
00:51:23.600
about flip-flopping. The reporter is the one who put Donald Trump in again and again,
00:51:31.120
right wing, left wing, ideological, polarizing. So the reporter was the guy putting all those bait
00:51:37.520
words there. And Polyev said, well, can you give me an example of that? Or says who, or name me one,
00:51:46.000
or give me an example, or you're the guy who said it. And Erkehart just absolutely fell apart and
00:51:50.560
couldn't do it. And so he moved on because he knew that he was the guy who was going to write
00:51:55.360
the story. So he would just have a revised history. Don Erkehart lied about what happened
00:52:02.160
and we wouldn't know about it if we weren't there to see it. He said, when asked why Canadians should
00:52:09.440
trust him with their votes, given his demonstrable track record of flip-flopping on key issues and what
00:52:14.080
some consider his use of polarizing ideologically infused rhetoric, suggesting he simply takes pages
00:52:19.520
of the Donald Trump populist playbook, Pierre Polia became acerbic. Ultimately, the answer was common
00:52:27.520
sense. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Ultimately, why are you leaving out the two minutes where he
00:52:33.680
asked you to prove that premise? Let me read that one more time and then can you play that clip again?
00:52:41.200
Because I want to show you what a wicked liar this Don Erkehart is, what a dishonest and unethical
00:52:45.680
reporter he is. When asked why Canadians should trust him with their votes, okay, that's always
00:52:53.120
a good question, given his demonstrable, so it's not just an allegation, it's demonstrated that he's
00:53:00.480
a flip-flopper. What some consider his use of polarizing ideologically infused rhetoric, suggesting
00:53:09.520
he simply takes pages of the Donald Trump populist playbook. Holy crap, who even says that other than
00:53:14.400
some kook? But why don't you put what the guy said in response three, four times? He said, what are you
00:53:21.440
talking about? Give me an example. Says who? Name one. Polia became acerbic. Ultimately, the answer was
00:53:29.440
common sense. Hang on, hang on, hang on. You left out everything he said. Here, play that again. Play that.
00:53:36.000
I just read for you twice what this wicked liar said happened. Now take a look at what really happened.
00:53:44.240
On the topic, I mean, in terms of your sort of strategy currently, you're obviously taking
00:53:49.360
the populist pathway. What does that mean? Well, appealing to people's more emotional levels,
00:53:58.640
I would guess. What do you mean by that? I mean, certainly you tap very strong ideological language
00:54:05.760
quite frequently. Like what? Left wing, you know, this and that, right wing, you know,
00:54:12.080
I mean, it's that type of ideological thing. I never really talk about left or right. I don't
00:54:16.720
really believe in that. Okay. A lot of people would say that you're simply taking a page out of the
00:54:22.480
Donald Trump book. Probably like which people would say that. Well, I'm sure a great many Canadians, but...
00:54:29.520
Like who? I don't know who, but... Well, you're the one who asked the question, so you must know somebody.
00:54:36.160
Okay. I'm sure there's some out there, but anyways, the point of this question is,
00:54:41.680
I mean, why should Canadians trust you with their vote, given, you know, not just the sort of
00:54:50.000
ideological inclination in terms of taking the page out of Donald Trump's book, but also...
00:54:54.480
What are you talking about? What page? What page? Can you give me a page? Give me the page.
00:54:58.560
You keep saying that. In terms of turning things quite dramatically in terms of Trudeau and
00:55:03.520
and the left wing and all of this, I mean, you make quite a, you know, it's quite a play that you
00:55:08.480
make on it. So I'm just wondering... I'm not sure. I don't know what your question is. Okay. Then forget that.
00:55:13.680
Why should Canadians trust you with their vote? Common sense. Common sense for a change.
00:55:22.240
But you see, you see the dishonesty of the news article that he ran in the end.
00:55:28.720
He did not justify his accusation of Donald Trump, this populist, that. He didn't show that
00:55:35.920
Polyev challenged that, but he put his weird ideological attack question in full,
00:55:43.680
skipped Polyev's answers and said, Polyev became a Serbic. Okay. Well, you know, maybe,
00:55:49.280
maybe you could call, I, in fact, I would call that a Serbic, but how about let us see
00:55:54.960
what was a Serbic instead of just telling us it was a Serbic. You can't because it would expose that
00:56:00.160
you're such a hack, such a wicked liar. That is so weird. And I can tell you that that happens all
00:56:06.240
the time. And only, I'm very pleased that Pierre Polyev pushed back on that. And I'm hopeful that
00:56:12.880
that's a sign of things to come. Because knowing that the media are not your friend is half the
00:56:18.880
battle. And, and I know this from past conservative leaders. Stephen Harper was generally firm with the
00:56:25.440
media. He wasn't that mean to them. And he wasn't that friendly. I think he took the right approach.
00:56:31.680
Andrew Scheer was absolutely terrified by the media. He would do anything they said.
00:56:38.640
And, and Aaron O'Toole didn't need, didn't even have a difference of opinion with the media. He was
00:56:44.560
going to do what they said anyways, because that's what he believed. And in the case of Andrew Scheer,
00:56:49.280
which I think was actually the worst of the two, I think Andrew Scheer actually believed that if
00:56:55.200
he was nice to the media, they would be nice to him. Because remember, Andrew Scheer came from being
00:57:00.480
the Speaker of the House for years. He had never fought a hard battle. He had never had a tough
00:57:05.120
campaign. He had never, like really, when you are the Speaker of the House, you're not engaged in any
00:57:11.920
debates. You're not doing any difficult scrums. You don't even vote other than to break a tie.
00:57:17.120
You're not even going to caucus meetings, because that's too partisan. You are really a ceremonial and
00:57:21.920
luxurious position in the House. So Andrew Scheer, his entire political training was
00:57:29.200
being friendly and diplomatic and everyone would bow and curtsy to him. And he had the huge budget of
00:57:35.360
what they called the Board of Internal Economy, which is basically back, it used to be a quarter
00:57:40.960
billion. I bet it's a half a billion dollars now just to run parliament. So Andrew Scheer truly believed
00:57:46.960
that if he was nice to someone, they would be nice to him. He didn't understand. These are government
00:57:50.720
journalists in the CBC mainly, but all the journalists are hostile. He didn't understand
00:57:54.560
it. Pierre Polyev understood him. And you could see he understood it because he didn't grant the
00:57:59.840
premise of the question to some dopey guy. And I presume that that was Polyev's own camera. I just
00:58:07.040
presume it was. Because holy mackerel, did that make Don Urkohart look like the idiot that he is.
00:58:13.440
Well, listen, it is the top of the hour. It is 2 p.m. Eastern time. What a pleasure to be with you

All right. Until tonight. What's that? Oh, boy, I almost forgot. What about the Super Chats?
00:59:01.580
Let me get to them right now. Jude Habersi, Five Smackers says, this reporter is totally outsmarted
00:59:07.560
by Pierre. Absolutely. And not just in the answers, in the fact that Pierre Polyev recorded it.
00:59:15.160
Fraser McBurney, Five bucks in the past, the government broke up Standard Oil,
00:59:17.960
Ma Bell, because they were too big. It's now time to break up Blacklock Financial. That company's too
00:59:22.920
large. It's buying up homes around the world. I've read about these corporate industrial investor
00:59:29.080
buying up single family homes, and I find it an unusual story. And it probably has something to do
00:59:35.240
with the increase in housing prices. But I do know this. Housing prices in America are about half of
00:59:42.700
what they are proportionately in Canada. And that boggles my mind. I think it has to do in part
00:59:48.200
with mass immigration. You cannot bring in 3% more people every year, a million people every year. You
00:59:57.480
just can't do it and expect housing to be affordable. This doesn't work that way. It's supply and demand.
01:00:03.400
So I need to study the issue more, Fraser, but I think you're right.
01:00:07.720
All right. I think those are our super chats for the day. I'll say goodbye now until tonight on behalf
01:00:11.640
of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at home. Goodbye, and keep fighting for freedom.
