Hello, my friends. You know, there's a new fear campaign dropping, very exciting.
00:00:04.660
COVID worked pretty well for a few years, but now there's a new one. They call it,
00:00:08.180
get this, global boiling. And they say it with a straight face. Oh my God, I'll take you through
00:00:14.860
it. I'll show you the video of the United Nations Secretary General talking about it. He only flies
00:00:21.000
on private jets that are air conditioned, so don't worry about him. I want you to see some
00:00:26.780
of the visual things we're going to show you. So do me a favor and go to rebelnewsplus.com.

00:00:51.560
Tonight, COVID was terrifying, but it's done. So a new fear campaign just dropped. I'll give you
00:00:58.820
the latest about the new ad slogan you're going to be hearing every day, global boiling. It's July
00:01:05.380
28th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show. Shame on you, you sensorism bug.
00:01:21.560
They say love is the most powerful force in the world, and I believe it. Love for your family,
00:01:28.980
love for your children, love for your country. Think of how dangerous it is to come between a
00:01:33.360
mama grizzly bear and her cubs. That's love. But fear is a relative of love. The mama grizzly's love
00:01:41.640
transforms to fear for her cub's safety. That's why she gets so utterly dangerous if you come between
00:01:47.920
them. Love and fear are cousins in that way. Humans are hardwired for fear also. It's the
00:01:54.240
fight-or-flight response, the adrenaline, the explosive power to run away from a wild animal
00:02:00.280
or to fight in the moment. Fear of things isn't a weakness. It's actually a strength. It's what saved
00:02:07.760
us for hundreds of generations. Fear of the dark, fear of wild animals, fear of strangers. It's an
00:02:15.080
evolutionary strategy. You can be too afraid in life, or you can be not afraid enough. Which of
00:02:22.580
those two errors is more likely to result in you being eaten by wild animals or robbed by highwaymen?
00:02:30.280
Fear, and its relief, the safety of the herd, explains a lot of human nature and explains a lot
00:02:36.480
of political nature, and it explains how we were so easily manipulated and controlled during the COVID-19
00:02:43.900
pandemic. It was fear. Fear of the virus that was revved up. The images on TV. I saw this video
00:02:52.620
from China very early on. It looked scary to me. It worked on me, and I think I'm cynical and savvy.
00:03:00.220
Lots of videos from China looked scary in those early days. I think that was a kind of psy-op,
00:03:05.500
a psychological operation against the world, really. Fear, fear of the virus, and then
00:03:11.180
fear of those who were not afraid of the virus. Remember this?
00:03:16.700
If you don't want to get vaccinated, that's your choice. But don't think you can get on a plane
00:03:24.680
And now is the time for people who are still resistant to getting vaccinated to realize
00:03:34.100
that that choice, which has consequences on putting our kids at risk, which has consequences
00:03:42.180
at having us risk more lockdowns because they haven't chosen to get vaccinated yet,
00:03:50.420
that there will be consequences for those people in not being able to go to a gym or a restaurant,
00:03:57.940
not being able to go to a movie theater, not being able to get on a train or a plane.
00:04:02.260
I want to stand up for the choice of those who are there for their neighbors,
00:04:08.980
not those who are risking us all going into further lockdowns of slowing our economic recovery.
00:04:20.740
is not always compatible with science, with respect for human rights, with the best way to move things
00:04:30.020
forward. I mean, when Aaron O'Toole talks about, oh, yes, we need to unite people, we need to bring people together.
00:04:36.180
He's talking about defending the rights of people who are anti-vax.
00:04:42.260
That's why we've been unequivocal. If you want to get on a plane or a train in the coming months,
00:04:48.740
you're going to have to be fully vaccinated. So families with their kids don't have to worry
00:04:54.020
that someone is going to put them in danger in the seat next to them or across the aisle.
00:04:59.620
Unfortunate that people who chose not to get vaccinated are now the ones clogging up our ICU
00:05:07.940
systems and our hospital beds that should be available for people who did their work and did
00:05:15.380
get vaccinated, making sure that businesses that choose to move forward with vaccination requirements
00:05:23.220
aren't subject to unnecessary or unjustified lawsuits. If you make a choice, a personal choice,
00:05:30.420
to not get vaccinated, then I will have no sympathy for you when you come to me and said,
00:05:37.140
oh, but I can't go out to a restaurant with my friends, or I'm not being allowed to go to the gym,
00:05:42.180
or my employer is telling me I have to continue to work from home.
00:05:47.940
You don't have a right to endanger others. Those people are putting us all at risk.
00:05:56.020
Fear is what manipulated us. Fear is what made us put on masks, which is unnatural. Fear is what
00:06:02.340
made us agree to close our businesses and schools and churches, even lock out our own families,
00:06:07.060
even shut down weddings and funerals. It was fear, first fear of the disease,
00:06:11.140
and then fear of what the government would do to us if we didn't comply. They manipulated us. That's not
00:06:17.140
a controversial thing to say now, now that so much of the truth has come out. I'll just give you one
00:06:23.220
small example. Here's the British health minister at the time, Matt Hancock. His WhatsApp messages
00:06:31.540
were leaked to the press. Matt Hancock wanted to frighten everyone into following COVID rules.
00:06:36.980
Now, this is an article from the Guardian newspaper. Latest batch of WhatsApp messages revealed
00:06:44.020
discussions over when to deploy details of a new strain. Let me read a little bit. This is a crazy
00:06:49.780
story. Matt Hancock told aides he wanted to frighten the pants off everyone to ensure compliance with
00:06:56.660
COVID-19 restrictions, according to the latest batch of leaked messages which revealed discussions over
00:07:01.780
when to deploy details of a new strain. The WhatsApp exchanges suggest the then health secretary and
00:07:09.380
others discussed how to use an announcement about the Kent variant of the virus to scare the public
00:07:15.300
into changing their behavior. The messages published in the Sunday Telegraph show that cabinet secretary
00:07:20.260
Simon Case suggested in January 2021 that the fear factor would be vital in stopping the spread of the
00:07:26.820
virus. It goes on. And it worked. But it's not working anymore, obviously. I mean, it worked for nearly
00:07:33.700
three years. Give it credit. It worked. I saw this tweet from Mark Garneau, the former liberal,
00:07:40.660
just two days ago. And it seemed like it was from an earlier era. He literally got a booster shot this week.
00:07:47.940
Who does that? How out of fashion he is. That's so 2022. Doesn't he know the new scare isn't COVID?
00:07:57.060
People don't get scared of that anymore. There's a new fear campaign that's dropping.
00:08:02.660
Here, let me show you how scary it is. And of course, it's from the United Nations. You know,
00:08:06.740
the World Health Organization is an agency of the UN. It did a great job. Now it's the climate agency of
00:08:13.700
the United Nations. Here, take a listen to the secretary general. The era of global warming has
00:08:18.820
ended. The era of global boiling has arrived. The air is unbreathable. The heat is unbearable.
00:08:29.060
And the level of fossil fuel profits and climate in action is unacceptable. According to the data
00:08:35.060
released today, July has already seen the hottest three week period ever recorded,
00:08:40.660
the three hottest days on record and the highest ever ocean temperatures for this time of year.
00:08:47.460
The consequences are clear and they are tragic. Children swept away by monsoon rains,
00:08:54.500
families running from the flames, workers collapsing in scorching heat. Leaders must lead. No more hesitancy,
00:09:05.060
no more excuses, no more waiting for the others to move first. There is simply no more time for that.
00:09:13.300
The earth is unbreathable. Really? Fossil fuel profits are unacceptable. Really? Families are running
00:09:20.500
from flames because of global warming. Oh, excuse me, global boiling. There's no hesitancy, no waiting for
00:09:29.140
others. We've got to act, eh? You know that China is by far the largest demand of greenhouse gases in
00:09:34.900
the world, right? I mean, by far. Is he talking about China? You know that guy, Antonio Guterres. He, he,
00:09:42.660
he's the secretary general of the UN. He only flies in private jets. He doesn't fly commercial.
00:09:47.540
Is he going to stop or is he hesitating? How about the United Nations? You know, they love to meet in New
00:09:52.340
York and Geneva and Berlin and the world's most amazing cities. Are they going to stop traveling
00:09:59.060
and switch to Zoom like you and I would? I'm kidding. Of course not. But the big boss laid out
00:10:05.060
the fear agenda. And so it's being repeated now like a new script. For a while there, the script was
00:10:10.980
build back better. Remember that? That all of a sudden, Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden and
00:10:15.860
every leader around the world was using that same phrase. Remember that campaign?
00:10:19.620
It's a very pertinent question to ask how do we build back better?
00:10:24.980
To build back better or whatever. We have a chance to reset the clock
00:10:29.060
and build back better than before. To build back better than before.
00:10:33.780
Remember the terrible damage of COVID as we try to build back from this global pandemic.
00:10:40.340
Joe Biden calls it build back better. Build back better. Building back better.
00:10:46.900
To do things differently. To build back better.
00:10:51.460
We're going to build it back better. And build it back better.
00:10:56.660
My plan to build back better. Start taking all the problems that have been created in education and
00:11:04.180
mental health and start to build back in a positive way.
00:11:08.340
I have launched a book called Build Back Better. Britain after coronavirus.
00:11:19.940
A growing conspiracy following it. It is called The Great Reset.
00:11:24.740
An unprecedented opportunity to rethink and reset the ways in which we live.
00:11:31.220
The great opportunity for reset. The theory even calls Mr. Biden's campaign slogan Build Back Better,
00:11:39.700
a front for the conspiracy. Build back better. Building back better our economy. Build back better.
00:11:50.420
All elements of the Great Reset are fundamental to building the future we need.
00:11:55.700
This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset.
00:12:01.780
It's a big effort to, some would say, to build back better. We would say to really have a great reset.
00:12:14.820
Yeah, well, you've got to keep up. The new campaign is called Global Boiling.
00:12:20.260
Here's the front page of Canada's largest newspaper, the Toronto Star. Seriously, that is not news.
00:12:26.100
That's an ad. But for whom? The United Nations, I guess, or some other lobby group.
00:12:33.300
Hey, look at this. I don't know if you remember the Tides Foundation. They renamed themselves Makeway.
00:12:38.820
But they actually struck a deal with the Toronto Star. Here's, let me read it for you.
00:12:44.260
Tides Canada partners with the Toronto Star for climate and economy series.
00:12:49.540
They literally pay. They pay the Toronto Star to place climate propaganda in the newspaper.
00:12:57.060
But why shouldn't they? I mean, Trudeau does. In recent weeks, we've seen all sorts of
00:13:02.020
propaganda about how hot it is. Here was one incredible story about 42 degrees Celsius.
00:13:07.300
That's super hot. But an actual thermometer in that same image shows it was 32 degrees. 32 is hot.
00:13:14.660
But that summertime wasn't 42. That's a lie. The fires in Greece were global boiling.
00:13:21.620
No, actually, they were caused by arson. In fact, they caught one of the arsonists on a drone
00:13:28.500
in Canada started by arson or by human mistakes, not putting out campfires.
00:13:32.980
There are parts of the world that are really hot and other parts that are really cold. A new cold
00:13:38.900
record in Antarctica. I don't know if that's global boiling, but you know, it all fits in the universal
00:13:45.620
theory. Have you ever noticed that the largest cities in the world, and I don't just mean million
00:13:51.300
person cities, I mean like all the cities that are 5 million, 10 million, the 20 million person cities,
00:13:58.980
they're all in the tropics. There are a few people who live in the far north and the deep,
00:14:04.740
deep, deep south, but not in the million. The massive cities like Cairo and Mumbai and Dhaka and Tokyo,
00:14:15.940
they're in the tropics. Warmth is good for life, human life and plant life and animal life. The
00:14:22.980
diversity of species in the tropics is stunning. Very few things live in the far north. Warmth is
00:14:29.540
actually good for things. No, it's not boiling. It's just summertime. So why? What's the point?
00:14:36.100
Besides keeping you scared and compliant, maybe there'll be a climate lockdown. Well, there's a war
00:14:42.420
on energy and a war on food. They need to keep you scared to make sure that you don't do those things,
00:14:48.660
don't use those things. You know what the World Economic Forum says? You'll own nothing and you'll
00:14:55.780
be happy. They actually said that, but it's pretty hard to find it online. If you Google,
00:15:01.780
you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. The first dozen items that come up are fact checks claiming
00:15:08.980
they never really meant that. Here's the Reuters fact check. No, no, they didn't actually mean it.
00:15:15.380
Here's the Globe and Mail with a fact check. No, no. That's misinformation. It's very hard to find it.
00:15:23.380
Here's Dr. Eli David on Twitter. He says that you'll own nothing and you'll be happy, but that's
00:15:31.140
actually changed now. You'll own nothing and you still won't be happy. You'll own nothing and you'll
00:15:38.500
be happy. That was the last message. The new message is psychologists say a good life doesn't
00:15:46.180
have to be happy or even meaningful. Here's another version. Again, this is the World Economic Forum.
00:15:52.260
Why true happiness isn't about being happy all the time. That's very hard to find online too. They say
00:16:01.220
these things and when they go viral, they delete them and fact check them, but you can find them on
00:16:06.260
the internet archive. You know, I'll believe that there's a crisis. I'll believe the world is boiling
00:16:14.660
when the world's elites start acting like it is. When Antonio Guterres has his meetings by Zoom,
00:16:21.780
stops flying private. When the climate gurus stop flying on their private jets. I'll believe it then
00:16:29.220
and not one minute earlier. And no, it's hot out, but that's called summer. It ain't boiling.
00:16:47.300
Hi there and welcome back. You know, earlier this week, I was in Lethbridge, Alberta, where I was
00:16:51.380
attending pre-trial hearings. The matter of four men who were arrested at the Coutts border blockade,
00:16:59.220
during the lockdowns. This was the western leg of the trucker convoy. These four men were charged
00:17:06.020
with very serious offenses though, not the mischief and other civil disobedience offenses that the
00:17:11.860
likes of Arthur Pavlovsky or Tamara Leach were charged. These four men were charged with conspiracy
00:17:17.460
to commit murder. And because it's such a serious crime that they have been accused of, the judge in
00:17:23.620
that case, refused to give them bail. And so they have been in the Calgary Remand Center, a high
00:17:29.460
security facility, for more than 500 days. And the trial is almost a year away. They will be in jail for
00:17:38.100
nearly three years. So yeah, almost three years by the time the matter goes to trial. There are two main
00:17:48.740
tests for whether or not someone gets bail. The first is, are they a flight risk? Will they run away?
00:17:53.700
Or will they indeed come back to court? And the second is, are they a danger in the community? And
00:17:58.820
it's on that ground that the four Coutts men have been detained in prison. I'm not quite sure
00:18:03.940
how dangerous they were. But I contrast that treatment and the lengthy detention without bail of
00:18:11.460
both Arthur Pavlovsky and Tamara Leach with the revolving door approach to bail given to
00:18:17.780
violent criminals in Canada. Criminals about which there is no whiff of conservative politics. I
00:18:23.060
referred the other day to the case of a convicted terrorist in Canada who was convicted, served her
00:18:28.580
time, got out again, was charged again with terrorism offenses, out on bail. How can these things be under
00:18:35.540
the same law? Well, a new article by Lauren Gunter makes it even starker. The headline is,
00:18:41.540
liberal bail reforms directly tied to soaring violent crime rates under the Trudeau government
00:18:48.340
and it's all the poor dears approach to crime. The overall severity of crime has also risen
00:18:54.980
by nearly 40%. That's his article in the Emerson Sun. And Lauren Gunter joins us now. Lauren,
00:18:59.700
great to see you again. I'm not trying to compare the Coutts four with these violent people, but I
00:19:06.660
suppose bail is bail and the tests ought to be the same or similar. Maybe I'm making too much of the
00:19:13.380
political difference here, but the violent criminals who are all stabby, they're being let out on the
00:19:18.660
streets, aren't they? Yeah. And we had a, we had a case here in early July where a father of seven,
00:19:25.140
uh, uh, Rukanesha Nakinda Botwer, uh, was stabbed to death by a random individual at an LRT station.
00:19:33.780
So at a subway station basically, and, uh, unprovoked, no apparent reason for it. But the, the gentleman
00:19:41.860
who's been charged with the murder was out on bail at the time. He has a long history of violent
00:19:48.820
convictions, not, not violent, not arrests or suspicion of violent behavior, but a long history,
00:19:56.340
a long conviction history of, of violence and, uh, was released because since 2018, when the
00:20:03.940
liberals passed their bail reform, it's become very, very difficult for judges to find a reason
00:20:09.860
to keep someone in jail awaiting trial. This is a combination of the liberal law and a thing called
00:20:15.780
the Jordan, uh, decision in, in the Supreme Court, which said it really is unheard of. It really is
00:20:24.340
unfair to keep someone in jail for more than two years awaiting trial, because then you've basically
00:20:30.420
given them the sentence without having had a hearing. Um, and so those two things conspired to,
00:20:36.500
to make it virtually impossible now for judges to keep anyone in jail awaiting their trial. And so we have,
00:20:45.860
lots and lots and lots of people on the street who have violent criminal histories who are awaiting
00:20:52.740
trial and who have proven by their, by their pre their previous actions that they are a threat to
00:20:59.060
the community, but the liberal law doesn't make it that big a deal to be a threat to the community.
00:21:05.380
Like give you two, just quick stats here, uh, very related in Calgary and Edmonton in the last three
00:21:13.060
years, between 40 and 50% of people charged with murder were either out on bail at the time they
00:21:22.260
were charged or on early release from their prison sentences. Cause that's the other half of what the
00:21:28.420
liberals did in 2018 was they made it much harder to keep someone in jail for beyond one sixth of
00:21:36.180
their sentence. Uh, so, you know, if you're, if you're charged and you're, you're, you're sentenced
00:21:42.020
to a couple of years in jail, it's very hard for the, the prison system to keep you in jail longer than
00:21:48.100
three months. Uh, and so you have a lot of people not reformed. They, they haven't, I mean, you and
00:21:54.900
I probably have some doubt about the validity, the, the usefulness of prison psychological, uh,
00:22:01.700
training or psychological therapy, but there's no chance that they've even gone through any of that.
00:22:06.900
And now all of a sudden they're out on the street again. So is it any wonder that the murder rate is
00:22:12.500
up in Canada since the liberals took over by about 40%? Uh, is it any wonder that the rape, uh, rate
00:22:20.180
in Canada has doubled since the, since the liberals took over? People are not sent to jail very often.
00:22:26.580
And when they are, they're not kept there very long. That's, that's the simple just of it.
00:22:30.420
Hmm. You know, really until Trudeau took office, the rate of crime and the rate of violent
00:22:36.580
crime was on a slow, steady decline. There's a lot of reasons for that. One was demographics.
00:22:41.380
The population as a whole was getting slightly older. And of course, crime is a young man's game,
00:22:47.060
both in terms of perpetrators and victims. But to see that come undone is, is shocking. I mean,
00:22:52.980
it's really the same thing in New York city, that city almost single-handedly was responsible for
00:22:58.580
lowering the American crime rate. It was so criminal in 1970s, but then Rudy Giuliani really
00:23:05.780
made it the safest big city in America. And just that statistically changed the whole country. But
00:23:11.620
then you had these woke mayors coming in and saying, well, we're not going to prosecute. I mean,
00:23:16.980
in San Francisco, they're not going to prosecute theft under $950. You know, you have corporations
00:23:25.460
firing staff who dare to try and stop shoplifters. The staff want to stop it. They feel a moral
00:23:30.580
repugnance. The companies fire them and call them racist or whatnot. Shops are closing in San
00:23:37.380
Francisco. And I don't think it'll be long before they start closing in some neighborhoods in Canada.
00:23:43.540
Several major hoteliers have moved out of downtown San Francisco, three that I can think of,
00:23:49.220
because it's simply become too dangerous for their guests to walk around in the downtown area. And so
00:23:58.820
guests are staying away. And so the hoteliers have pulled out. I mean, that's what happens when you
00:24:04.660
follow these ridiculous, progressive notions about what will stop crime. And you have to recall that,
00:24:11.620
you know, you and I have talked before about how often experts turn out to be wrong. They were wrong
00:24:17.860
about a lot of the pandemic countermeasures, for instance. They are terribly wrong in this case,
00:24:24.020
and we're seeing the evidence of it. So all of these liberal reforms were based on what experts told
00:24:30.420
them. The best way to stop crime is to reintegrate the potential criminals into society as quickly as
00:24:38.180
possible. No, you're releasing them. You're releasing the people who have shown themselves to be
00:24:43.060
the most likely to commit crime. You're releasing those people into the general population. What in
00:24:48.740
heaven's name do you think is going to happen? Yeah. And by the way, I know you've studied this
00:24:53.540
too, but for years, people have been concerned about what they phrase missing and murdered indigenous
00:25:00.260
women. Where, who killed these women? What happened to them? Well, the RCMP actually has a very high
00:25:06.260
rate of solving those crimes. So it's actually not a mystery about 85% solving, but the same as for
00:25:12.420
white victims. And the answer is, and it's a terrible answer, which is why you don't hear the
00:25:17.780
answer, but the RCMP themselves published it. Most of the women who are violently assaulted or killed
00:25:25.220
are victims of people they knew who had done it to them before. In many cases, a family member or a
00:25:33.300
boyfriend and the bail, you talked about how bail is so easy. It's even easier. And, and sentences are
00:25:41.460
even more lenient. If there's an indigenous element to it, you get almost a racial discount. And this is
00:25:47.380
done in the name of being progressive and healing. But if the primary victims of these indigenous men on
00:25:54.980
reserves are indigenous women on reserves, you are sending the violent man right back into the
00:26:02.740
household where he already attacked the woman. That's a shocking fact to hear, but it's the fact.
00:26:08.580
And so the white judge feels very noble, but he just sentenced another indigenous woman to be killed.
00:26:15.380
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I think there's, I think there's a lot of merit in what you say there.
00:26:19.300
I mean, the James Lake, uh, uh, Cree Nation, multiple killings, the stabbings last year
00:26:26.260
were, were perpetrated by someone who had been under mandatory early release from prison in part
00:26:33.300
because of what they called the glad you principle, which is where you judges have to discount the
00:26:39.140
sentence, uh, of, of indigenous, uh, criminals, uh, because they're indigenous. It's, it's presumed that
00:26:46.180
they had a harder upbringing than, than non-indigenous criminals. And so therefore they get
00:26:51.140
a partial pass. You couldn't say they always get a free pass, but they get a partial pass.
00:26:56.180
And that's exactly what's happening. I mean, we've seen that also in the United States where
00:27:01.140
there have been efforts made to release, uh, African American criminals earlier or integrate
00:27:07.380
them more or be more lenient. Uh, and, and the recidivism rate, the repeat offense rate is,
00:27:14.500
is higher. One of the things that I came across, uh, well, two things, I think it would be of
00:27:19.060
interest to your viewers that I came across yesterday when I was doing my research on the
00:27:23.300
bail and parole, uh, fiasco. One was since the liberals have come to power, the percentage of,
00:27:34.260
uh, gun crimes has doubled. And that's not people who are being convicted for unsafe storage or failing
00:27:41.540
to renew their licenses or some of those administrative laws that the liberals created.
00:27:46.340
Those that's not the crimes we're talking about. This is people who've pointed at the guns in the
00:27:50.020
commission of a crime, fired a gun in the commission of a crime in some way or other,
00:27:54.340
used a gun to commit a crime that has doubled despite the assault weapons ban, the handgun ban,
00:28:00.340
and all of the other restrictions that the liberals have put on law abiding gun owners.
00:28:05.620
They were never the problem anyway. You know, so what, what you've basically done is you've
00:28:10.500
increased the likelihood people with violent records will be out on the street and you've
00:28:15.940
taken away guns from ordinary people. So what's going to happen? People who are out on the street
00:28:21.860
on bail or early release know that they can use a gun and nobody's going to have
00:28:26.500
any ability to defend themselves. So that's why those instances have increased. But the other thing
00:28:31.860
that was, that was, I think, very telling, and it gets back to what you were talking about,
00:28:35.780
Indigenous offenders, the murder rate among Indigenous Canadians is seven times what the
00:28:45.060
murder rate is among non-Indigenous Canadians. And that's significant, I think, because the murder rate
00:28:52.500
among other minority Canadians, other visible minority Canadians, is only a fraction higher than it is
00:29:01.780
among non-Indigenous, non-racialized Canadians. So if you have the murder rate, for instance, among
00:29:09.700
Black Canadians is not that much. It is higher than, than among white Canadians, but it's not that much
00:29:16.740
higher. But the, the murder rate among Indigenous Canadians is almost seven times what it is among,
00:29:22.980
among non-Indigenous Canadians. And so there's a problem there. And, and you, and as you pointed out,
00:29:32.100
most of those murders and crimes against Indigenous people are committed by Indigenous people. And,
00:29:38.900
and that's where one of the, I mean, the Liberals, if they were interested in solving crime,
00:29:44.020
should be focusing their efforts there. How come that happens? Why is, what, what is the reason for
00:29:49.140
that? And let's try and help and stop that. But they don't. They don't. They go after law-abiding gun owners.
00:29:55.060
And, and they release all sorts of violent people into the street. And yesterday, Prime Minister Trudeau
00:30:01.300
was asked, well, is your new cabinet going to take on bail reform? And he said, well, yes, of course,
00:30:08.820
we'll, we will do bail reform. We said we would. Now their bail reforms, I think, will be largely
00:30:13.540
useless. They were, they're not going to lock up a lot more violent people awaiting trial than,
00:30:20.420
than they are doing now. It's mostly for show. But he said, yes, yes, of course, we'll do bail reform.
00:30:26.180
But this is about mental health support and dealing with social issues. So they've not,
00:30:34.580
they have not absorbed any of the lessons from what these crime statistics show, because in their
00:30:40.900
minds, being progressives in their minds, they're always right. None of their theories are ever wrong.
00:30:47.620
They may be just not implemented properly. So let's work harder to implement the ridiculous ideas
00:30:52.820
that our experts have given us. I think that's where we're headed with this new cabinet.
00:30:57.140
Here's a clip of Trudeau saying exactly what you just described. Take a look.
00:31:01.300
The latest data from Statistics Canada shows an increase in violent crime in Canada.
00:31:06.660
How are you going to ask your new minister to tackle this? And do you have any possible solutions?
00:31:10.980
We've been working with provinces across the country on bail reform. We've been working on
00:31:17.220
strengthening the ways of supporting Canadians because it is not right that in far too many of
00:31:22.900
our cities we're seeing an uptick in violent crime. And there's all sorts of different factors that go
00:31:28.340
into that. The need for bail reform is one of them. The challenges on mental health that have come out of
00:31:35.060
the pandemic in these difficult years. These are all things we have to respond to. But it's not just about
00:31:40.260
stepping up on the security side, although that is important and we're doing that. It's also about
00:31:44.900
creating greater opportunities for youth to be part of community organizations and have the kind of
00:31:51.140
mentorship and guidance that keeps them out of a life of gangs and crime. It's about making sure
00:31:58.260
that we're investing in safer communities in all sorts of different ways with better mental health
00:32:04.100
supports, better community and frontline workers. It's more work on harm reduction in terms of the
00:32:11.540
opioids epidemic that's devastating far too many communities across the country. We're going to
00:32:16.420
continue to take an evidence-based approach that is there, is present, working with municipalities
00:32:22.020
and provinces to keep our communities safe, to keep Canadians safe, because that's one of the fundamental
00:32:27.380
jobs any government has. You know there's one more thing and our friend Aaron Gunn has done a series of
00:32:33.300
videos that shows this. I remember way back when when I was a baby lawyer and I was going to court and
00:32:40.580
when you're just a student at law you have to wait. There's a pecking order. The senior lawyers go first
00:32:44.740
and the junior lawyers and then at the very end the student lawyers go. But that was actually wonderful
00:32:49.940
because you got to sit in court and watch the smart guys go. You learned a ton just by sitting there. I
00:32:55.300
actually enjoyed going last because I got to see how the smart guys did it. And one thing I saw in
00:33:00.660
docket court, and this was in Edmonton in your city where I went to law school, Lauren, I have to say
00:33:07.460
that the majority of criminal cases that were in docket court, so this is just everything fresh off
00:33:13.220
the street, just from bar fights to domestic assaults. In almost, I don't know, at least half the cases,
00:33:22.180
maybe three quarters, there was alcohol or drugs. And I'm not here calling for prohibition or anything,
00:33:30.260
but I'm making the opposite point. Justin Trudeau and other progressives, far from being prohibitionists,
00:33:37.220
believe in safe injections and free drugs and more drugs and, oh, don't have them go cold turkey,
00:33:45.380
don't have an intervention, take them out of the streets, make it easier for them to get
00:33:49.060
safe drugs. So the thing that I saw, and this is 30 years, 25 years ago I was in docket court,
00:33:54.420
and it was alcohol, but we didn't yet have the same kind of opioid epidemic or some of the
00:33:59.140
the drugs we have now. And I don't remember the stats offhand for the number of indigenous
00:34:05.060
perpetrators and victims where there was alcohol and drugs afoot, but I've got to think it's a
00:34:10.420
majority. It's the reason why some Indian bands are dry, no alcohol allowed, and these are uncomfortable
00:34:15.860
things to talk about. But if we're not going to talk about them, well, Trudeau's making all these
00:34:21.220
things worse. There's this whole industry about pushing drugs on people, not taking it away. You're
00:34:27.540
never going to stop the crime if these people aren't even themselves. What do you think of that?
00:34:32.660
Yeah, I think that's true. I mean, the National Post had an exceptionally good series on safe injection
00:34:40.020
and the whole idea of the state providing free drugs to people and what a complete
00:34:46.180
foul-up that has been. It's very much like the bail and parole reform. That has led to much higher
00:34:56.180
violent crime rates in our cities. And just as giving away free drugs has led to much higher use of
00:35:05.060
opioids. How is this even a question? I know the experts all like to show how much more enlightened
00:35:14.820
they are than we who have these old-fashioned ideas. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You need to
00:35:21.860
release criminals in order to reduce crime, and you need to give away free drugs in order to reduce
00:35:27.460
addiction. In whose universe does that make any sense? It's positively ridiculous. It's one of those
00:35:36.020
things that's so self-evident that it leads to people honking horns in downtown Ottawa because they
00:35:41.540
just get fed up with experts telling them things that are demonstrably untrue.
00:35:46.740
Yeah. You know, there is one jurisdiction in the world that has gone from being one of the most
00:35:52.580
violent countries in the world to one of the least violent, at least when it comes to murder.
00:35:58.580
And I'm talking about the Latin American country called El Salvador. And I'm not sure if you've been
00:36:02.740
paying attention. I have. They have an unusual leader. They do. I would not want to follow their
00:36:09.540
lead. They have suspended most democratic rights. And I don't...
00:36:15.220
Oh, and I'm not downplaying that. But Nayib Bukele, he's a big Bitcoin guy,
00:36:21.220
which shows he's an individual. He's a little bit of a contrarian. But he has arrested
00:36:27.220
on mass people. And you're right. He's, you know, there have been accusations that he's reduced
00:36:33.460
civil liberties. And when it comes to arrest, he has arrested hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
00:36:39.220
of gang members. He had 7% of the male population of El Salvador between the ages of 18 and 29.
00:36:47.860
He has 7% of them in jail at the moment. And he's reduced crime so dramatically. Last I saw,
00:36:55.300
he's at 90% in the polls. Now, I'm not recommending that we incarcerate 7% of young men. That sounds
00:37:02.980
enormous. Although I wonder what the stat is in the United States. It wouldn't surprise me the
00:37:06.820
statistic in the United States is around two or 3%.
00:37:08.740
Well, three strikes did bring down the crime rate in the United States, because you were
00:37:15.860
And I'm not... I don't know the details of the El Salvador approach, but I know the results.
00:37:22.260
Well, murder and other violent crimes have plunged, and the president's support has skyrocketed. And I
00:37:30.500
say that not saying we should copy that, necessarily. I want to study it more.
00:37:34.740
But where is the political demand for this kind of weak bail, early release? Like, there's only so
00:37:42.260
many criminal lawyers out there who would be cheering this. Who's in favor of it?
00:37:45.780
Yeah. Take a look at what happened when the liberals came in. They also started getting rid
00:37:51.460
of mandatory minimum sentencing. And while crime had been trending down long before Stephen Harper
00:37:58.260
became prime minister, it trended down faster under his government than it had in the previous 20 years.
00:38:05.060
As soon as the liberals started messing with bail and mandatory minimums and early release,
00:38:12.980
it spiked right back up again. Because despite the fact that criminals may not be PhD geniuses,
00:38:20.820
they also aren't stupid. They realize that if there are very few consequences to the crimes that
00:38:26.100
they are committing, they might as well go out and commit them. Like, what's six months over the winter
00:38:31.540
in a nice Canadian prison versus, you know, 12 years, if that was the alternative? They're not
00:38:40.740
dumb. They do these calculations, maybe subconsciously, maybe consciously, but they know that. But the
00:38:47.620
El Salvador example reminds me of a story from my Italian immigrant father-in-law who came to Canada
00:38:54.980
after the Second World War and said to us quite out of the blue about 10 years ago, you know,
00:39:00.820
under Mussolini, there was no crime in the streets. Yes, well, that's lovely, but I don't want a fascist
00:39:10.020
Well, there's got to be a happy medium is what I'm saying. And I would like to study El Salvador's case.
00:39:15.540
You are encouraging me to look at the fine print, but it is quite dramatic. I mean,
00:39:22.580
that really was one of the most violent, dangerous places and gangs run. And by the way, Mexico is
00:39:28.180
lawless. Mexico, half of Mexico is run by the cartels. And if the choice is between an authoritarian
00:39:33.860
drug kingpin or a heavy-handed president, you know, if those are the, now maybe there's a third
00:39:40.020
option there too, but I would like to learn more. The article is called Liberal Bail Reforms Directly
00:39:46.180
Tied to Soaring Violent Crime Rights. The author is our friend Lauren Gunter. The newspaper in which it
00:39:50.340
was published was the Edmonton Sun. It's great to see you again. And I really, and you've told me the
00:39:54.980
Edmonton story and I know the Vancouver story here in Toronto, the stabbings and shootings,
00:39:59.540
especially on the subway, because the subway here is probably the most developed subway in Canada.
00:40:05.700
And it is dangerous. People are afraid to go on there. And you see videos of passengers running,
00:40:13.140
screaming in terror from a stabbing. It is real. It's not 1970s New York yet, but it's on that path.
00:40:22.420
Last word to you, my friend. No, I think you're right. I think you have to, within the container
00:40:30.020
of the rule of law and democratic rights, you have to be as firm, as tough on criminals as you can be,
00:40:39.460
because they take the signal that you're not being tough as licensed to go out and do whatever they
00:40:45.460
feel like. Yeah. Right. Well, we'll wrap it up there, Lauren Gunter. Great to see you again. Thanks very much.
00:41:02.820
Hey, that's the show for today. I want to tell you, I was actually planning on going on another
00:41:07.940
journey tonight. We've been defending a fight the fines case in the United Kingdom. We had a handful of
00:41:16.020
them and most of them resolved, but there was one case left. It was the case of a cranky, rather
00:41:22.580
eccentric municipal counselor near Glasgow in Scotland. His name was Paddy Hogg. He was a real
00:41:28.740
character. Here's a quick flashback to Paddy Hogg and how he got in trouble.
00:41:35.940
Well, they wouldn't let Paddy Hogg go. He had a peaceful protest outdoors at his own city hall,
00:41:42.020
where he was a city councilor. Not only did they charge him with some anti-gathering offense,
00:41:46.420
but they charged him with a criminal offense. They said he was endangering the lives of people
00:41:51.940
because they could get COVID at his outdoor protest. Well, there's actually no cases of
00:41:56.740
COVID spreading in the outdoors. We crowdfunded the legal defense for Paddy Hogg, and we actually hired
00:42:04.500
a world-class expert on infectious diseases. We were going to slam dunk this case in court in Scotland.
00:42:11.300
Not only would we win for Paddy Hogg, but I was absolutely certain, as was our lawyer,
00:42:16.260
that our infectious diseases expert would say, this is ridiculous. It just didn't spread outdoors.
00:42:22.020
And on the eve of trial, the prosecutor there just dropped the case after hounding Paddy Hogg for two
00:42:30.900
years. I'm glad I don't have to make the long journey to Glasgow, but frankly, I was looking
00:42:36.260
forward to watching our Top Gun lawyers smash the prosecutor there, and not just win for Paddy,
00:42:42.420
but to win for scientific truth. Alas, Paddy's free to go, and we'll just have to tell you the story.
00:42:48.500
I'm glad I won't be traveling. I've been traveling so much. I look forward to spending a lot more time
00:42:52.820
here in the studio and with our great Canadian team. I tell you, one last thing before I go. If you
00:42:58.260
haven't seen David Menzies' video about the Fergus girls rugby team, you've got to watch it. It's got
00:43:07.380
half a million views on YouTube alone in the last few days. Here's just a little taste of that.
00:43:12.100
Here's the cold open of that video. Just take a quick look.
00:43:19.300
Mr. Davis, Ash, why are you doing this? I'm David Menzies Rebel News.
00:43:23.460
Hi. No, you're not really a part of this. Human rights. What about the human rights of biological
00:43:28.580
women being injured by this man? As a mother, why would you expose your kids to a massage?
00:43:33.620
Because that is my partner. That is my wife that you are being an asshole.
00:43:38.900
Sorry, he's a lesbian? It's not a sport. It's not an issue. I'm a registered social worker,
00:43:45.220
sir, and I demand human rights for everybody. Oh, okay. What's a biological female?
00:43:51.220
Yeah, what's a biological female? How do you feel about a biological male playing in rugby man?
00:43:56.100
Thank you. I don't really give a f*** everybody. Okay. I don't know what is a crime anymore.
00:44:02.420
Well, sometimes we all ask ourselves that, right? I tell you, it's vintage rebel in the field,
00:44:08.980
politically incorrect, not being afraid. Police are called on us. David Menzies doesn't lose his
00:44:15.140
cool. That's some of the best TV I've seen this year, and I hope you agree. It's one of the things
00:44:19.700
that, you know, we tell the other side of the story. Most media are afraid to challenge the insanity
00:44:25.940
of transgenderism in women's sports, but our friend David did a great job. That's vintage rebel in it.
00:44:32.340
Well, have a great weekend. We'll see you on Monday. Keep checking in on our channel over the
00:44:36.660
weekend. Of course, we still post news as it breaks. Until next time, on behalf of all of us
00:44:42.420
at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
