Tonight, I bumped into Liberal MP Masjid Johari and asked him why he has such admiration for
00:01:36.460
the Iranian regime. It's June 19, 2019. I'm David Menzies, and this is The Ezra Levent Show.
00:01:47.100
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:50.700
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:54.760
The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher, is because it's my bloody
00:02:05.920
Well, I had an enlightening run-in on the weekend with Liberal MP Masjid Johari.
00:02:11.800
Johari was not on Parliament Hill, but in his hometown riding of Richmond Hill, apparently
00:02:18.320
getting a head start on his re-election campaign.
00:02:22.200
So it was that I made a detour from my original destination, that being the oh-so-retro-cool
00:02:27.880
Three Coins restaurant, and tried to engage in some political discourse with this whiz-bang
00:02:34.440
member of parliament, who seems to have an admiration for totalitarianism.
00:02:42.100
Then again, that makes him a kindred spirit with Justin Trudeau, doesn't it?
00:02:47.040
I mean, Trudeau has publicly stated his admiration for China's basic dictatorship, because it allows
00:02:54.460
Beijing to, well, you know, get things done efficiently.
00:02:59.780
Well, let's not get into the nitty-gritty details here, because doing some of those things might
00:03:06.020
have consequences, like, you know, depriving people of their basic human rights, all of
00:03:12.140
which kind of seems downright un-liberal to me.
00:03:16.480
Anyway, speaking of dictatorships and curtailing human rights and whatnot, that brings us back
00:03:23.040
Now, if you need a brief refresher course on this individual, who the locals on the hill
00:03:29.040
refer to by his nickname, the Persian Pinocchio, thanks to his fast-and-loose approach with
00:03:35.420
the facts, such as his engineering status, our rebel commander Ezra Levent weighed in
00:03:41.660
on this honourable member of parliament in January.
00:03:44.920
Ezra's commentary focused on why Trudeau and some of his Iranian MPs seem to have this
00:04:03.020
To this day, Justin Trudeau has not said a word about it.
00:04:09.860
Is it because Justin Trudeau's brother, Alexandre Trudeau, is an official paid propagandist for
00:04:17.160
the Iranian regime, including producing this propaganda film.
00:04:22.180
He produced it in cooperation with Iran's state broadcaster, Press TV.
00:04:27.600
Justin Trudeau's brother does Iranian government propaganda.
00:04:33.200
And just plain old likes Iran and likes his basic dictatorship.
00:04:37.120
That's the phrase Trudeau used to commend China.
00:04:40.140
And we know how Trudeau loved the Castros and their dictatorship.
00:04:43.060
Maybe Trudeau just sides with the empire instead of the rebels.
00:04:51.920
You know, they have a $100 million sale of their airplanes to Iran.
00:04:56.800
The headline here, Ottawa to finance Iran's Bombardier order.
00:05:03.080
Is that why Trudeau is siding with the regime he wants his Bombardier deal to go through?
00:05:09.540
And from our foreign minister, Chrystia Freeland, just a three-line statement.
00:05:15.360
Canada is encouraged by the Iranian people who are exercising their basic right to protest peacefully.
00:05:20.300
We call on the Iranian authorities to uphold and respect democratic and human rights.
00:05:24.740
Canada will continue to support the fundamental rights of Iranians, including the right to freedom of expression.
00:05:31.600
Now, of course, Iran has not upheld or respected democratic rights.
00:05:46.380
What does it exactly mean when Chrystia Freeland says that Canada will support Iranians?
00:05:58.620
One liberal named Majid Johari, he continuously presses Canada to become friendlier with the Iranian dictatorship.
00:06:11.180
And he added a few extra words to it, which was so bizarre.
00:06:20.060
With the support of their elected government in a secure environment and without the fear of persecution.
00:06:24.840
He's saying that Iranians have the support of their elected government.
00:06:36.480
But not to that guy, a liberal MP from Iran, whose statement has gone uncontradicted by the Liberal Party.
00:06:44.840
The liberals are literally choosing to side with the Iranian regime over the Democratic protesters.
00:06:49.460
By the way, regarding Johari's resume, he has this penchant to describe himself as an engineer,
00:06:55.720
even though he currently isn't a practicing engineer,
00:06:59.080
and he certainly wasn't an active engineer during the 2015 election campaign either.
00:07:09.340
and it was only when he was called out regarding this fibbing did he issue an apology.
00:07:14.920
So, he's careless with the truth, making him even more of a kindred spirit with Justin Trudeau yet again.
00:07:24.220
So, anyway, as I mentioned, I caught up with this learned liberal on Saturday.
00:07:28.600
I just wanted to know why he likes to tweet support to one of the most despicable regimes in the world,
00:07:34.980
an odious administration that happens to be one of the biggest state sponsors of terrorism on the planet.
00:07:41.060
By the way, I should add, Johari's support of the mullahs in Iran has infuriated the vast majority of those in the Canadian Persian community,
00:07:50.900
given that the reason they immigrated to Canada in the first place was due to the fact that living in Iran has become increasingly intolerable.
00:08:09.740
I am indeed. I want to ask you, why did you support the Iranian regime in a recent tweet?
00:08:14.480
I did not support the Iranian regime. These are fake news.
00:08:17.300
Do you have any proof? Do you have any proof, sir?
00:08:29.640
So, you know it's one of the largest state sponsors of terrorism in the world. Would you agree with that, sir?
00:08:41.920
Oh, then why did you tweet congratulations to it?
00:08:43.960
Because I'm not tweeting congratulations and you're faking your news.
00:08:48.080
Yes, you are. You are. You don't have any fact. You haven't had any facts.
00:08:54.360
And you're harassing me and I don't appreciate it.
00:08:58.600
You are in a public place and I told you I do not support the regime.
00:09:02.860
I do not support the advocate for them and you're accusing me of that.
00:09:05.800
And if you put that in formal writing, then we can have a discussion later on.
00:09:10.280
Why is the local Richmond Hill Persian community so upset?
00:09:19.580
So, yet again, when it comes to the federal liberals, denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
00:09:25.200
They sure don't like going on the record about the sordid stuff they support.
00:09:30.800
And when cornered, they engage in plenty of talking without, well, actually saying anything.
00:09:37.260
Kind of like that other Trudeau cabinet minister, Maryam Monsef.
00:09:41.940
Remember her remarks to us during an event marking World Press Freedom Day in Toronto?
00:09:47.260
Before we were frog-marched out of the building because, hey, apparently embracing World Press Freedom Day, according to Ms. Monsef,
00:09:56.540
is all about stifling freedom of the press that the journalist isn't one of Trudeau's state-sponsored stenographers.
00:10:05.760
Say, Minister Monsef, David Benzies with Rebel Media.
00:10:10.320
The United Nations told our reporters they were banned from covering their conferences due to a directive from the Canadian government.
00:10:23.320
I hope you support what we're doing here today, which is ensuring freedom of expression and an independent free press for your colleagues around the world.
00:10:31.040
But that's precisely the point. We traveled to Morocco, we traveled to Poland, and we were shut out of UN conferences because of an edict from your government.
00:10:41.160
Does that sound like world press freedom to you, Minister?
00:10:44.260
What we're doing today is supporting an independent and free press in some of the most troubled regions of the world.
00:10:51.280
And I have no doubt that you rejoice in this investment and this initiative.
00:10:55.220
Well, you know, but how do you square the fact that you won't even let Canadian journalists that might have a dissenting opinion about things like immigration and climate change?
00:11:06.340
And again, I ask, whatever happened to Sunny Ways, my friends? Sunny Ways?
00:11:12.660
What happened to that often stated promise of open transparency?
00:11:16.840
I think I know what you're thinking, folks, and I wholeheartedly agree.
00:11:23.440
Namely, October 21st can't possibly come soon enough.
00:11:31.220
Well, it's like a cliche from a cheesy horror movie, isn't it?
00:11:49.220
You know, just when you think the monster has been slain and the exhausted protagonists begin to walk away.
00:11:55.640
Well, that's how Mark Stein looks upon the possibility of the anti-free speech provision, Section 13, being restored to the Canadian Human Rights Act.
00:12:15.320
This incredibly flawed provision was rightfully tossed by the Stephen Harper Conservative government in 2013.
00:12:23.380
But now a liberal-dominated justice committee wants to restore it.
00:12:28.420
What's more, it will be supercharged this time around with an additional focus pertaining to social media.
00:12:35.880
So, in essence, folks, Section 13 is the polar opposite of the First Amendment.
00:12:49.920
Joining me now with the latest on Section 13's potential comeback is Andrew Lawton with TNC.news.
00:12:59.940
Good to be with you, David. Thanks for having me.
00:13:03.320
So, in addition to, oh, I don't know, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers,
00:13:08.000
it would appear that Section 13, it just refuses to stay dead, doesn't it?
00:13:14.260
Yeah, and, you know, usually horror sequels are bad.
00:13:17.920
I mean, in this case, the horror sequel is going to be more terrifying than the original.
00:13:22.460
I mean, this is one of the rare cases where the remake is going to have much more of an impact than the first one did,
00:13:28.140
because now they're out for blood, and one of the biggest problems with this is that, as you noted in your preamble there,
00:13:35.400
the proposal from the Justice Committee empowers or I'll say coerces social media companies
00:13:42.200
into being what I characterize in my writing on this as state enforcers,
00:13:47.040
because you see it in, I believe it's recommendation number nine,
00:13:51.180
this idea on the committee's report that social media companies must have requirements imposed by the government
00:13:58.380
on how they're going to get rid of what the government says is hate speech.
00:14:03.740
Now, the reason this is so relevant is because when Section 13, Part 1 was around,
00:14:11.720
and the tribunal would determine if what you posted was hateful, and that was bad enough.
00:14:18.760
The government is forcing social media companies to censor their users.
00:14:23.500
And, you know, Andrew, let's talk about the way in which Section 13 worked back in the battle days pre-2013
00:14:31.840
and why the Stephen Harper Conservatives got rid of it.
00:14:37.040
We know, well, at least those who follow this story know,
00:14:40.680
that essentially Section 13, it was gamed by one individual, if you will,
00:14:45.560
Richard Warman, sometimes he was an employee of the human rights racket,
00:14:49.980
sometimes he was a complainant, and he brought forth well over a dozen cases in which he always won,
00:14:57.360
in which he went trolling for hate speech on the internet, posing as somebody else,
00:15:02.960
and himself using hateful language in order to do his phishing, if you will.
00:15:12.420
We know how inherently flawed this is, so why bring it back in the first place?
00:15:18.020
What is the agenda of those who want to reinstate it?
00:15:24.600
You're talking about a movement of people that fundamentally believe speech should not be free.
00:15:30.560
And when you look at the witnesses that were testifying as part of this online hate study,
00:15:35.740
there were 59 of them, so nearly five dozen witnesses,
00:15:40.460
and all but about five were taking an anti-free speech stance,
00:15:45.300
or at the very least a stance that was a lot more focused on where the limit to free speech should be,
00:15:51.700
rather than fundamentally putting the protection and preservation of free speech front and center.
00:15:57.940
And trust me, you've got a lot of people that have very legitimate grievances,
00:16:01.020
whether you're talking about Muslims or gays or transgender people.
00:16:05.480
I don't doubt them when they say that they see mean, nasty things on the Internet,
00:16:10.300
and they are on the receiving end of perhaps mean and nasty and maybe emotionally hateful bars.
00:16:16.120
But something being emotionally hateful or something that you feel is hateful does not mean it should be illegal.
00:16:23.680
And that's the fundamental divide here, is that we are criminalizing hurting feelings
00:16:28.580
when we already have a mechanism in Canada called the Criminal Code
00:16:32.340
that deals with speech that is sufficiently hateful to cause real harm.
00:16:38.300
And you know, Andrew, I think you nail it there on two fronts.
00:16:41.560
One, you do not have a right to not be offended.
00:16:47.680
And secondly, as you said, there are provisions on the books,
00:16:54.600
in which real courts, not kangaroo courts, i.e. human rights tribunals,
00:17:00.040
can be used to implement justice when you really are, you know, criminally maligned.
00:17:10.360
Why can't we let the real courts and the existing laws take care of the really odious stuff?
00:17:16.920
Yes, and that Section 13, in its 32 or 34 years, had a 100% conviction rate.
00:17:25.680
And I know Mark Stein mentioned this in his testimony.
00:17:28.740
Even North Korea would be jealous of the 100% conviction rate
00:17:35.400
I mean, Saddam Hussein would say, no, no, no, that's too much.
00:17:44.100
So if government's convicting people 100% of the time,
00:17:48.660
But beyond that, I want to direct your viewers to two relevant people here.
00:17:56.120
Now, he is the chief commissioner of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission,
00:17:59.840
and he testified before the Justice Committee and said,
00:18:05.540
that Canada has no unbridled right to freedom of expression.
00:18:09.720
And Dean Stacey, who was with the Canadian Human Rights Commission
00:18:13.700
back when Section 13 was around the first time, said in a deposition,
00:18:18.380
I think back in 2010 or 2011, I might be wrong about the year,
00:18:22.260
but said in a deposition, when he was asked by a lawyer,
00:18:26.400
how much of an emphasis do you put on freedom of speech?
00:18:29.780
And he said, freedom of speech is an American concept,
00:18:33.160
so I don't pay any mind to it, or something like that.
00:18:35.760
But it was freedom of speech is an American concept.
00:18:38.700
So you have people that are in this human rights bureaucracy
00:18:41.960
that fundamentally believe freedom of speech is not something
00:18:45.760
that Canadians have as a right or should have as a right.
00:18:51.920
we have to be very mindful of what's going to come
00:18:55.000
from what was supposed to be the ashes of Section 13.
00:19:02.560
when the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights was sitting,
00:19:08.660
You described that session as farcical, and I think that's an excellent word.
00:19:15.880
It began with us at the Rebel being denied press credentials to cover it,
00:19:23.740
Secondly, when you looked at the witnesses testifying,
00:19:31.620
I think the way they were treated was appalling.
00:19:35.200
And even in the preamble before they got to say what they wanted to
00:19:39.100
and the questioning, Mr. Cooper's remarks were completely expunged from the record.
00:19:46.740
It was like that season of Dallas, you know, where what's-his-name Patrick Duffy didn't die.
00:19:56.860
You know, those words were never uttered in this chamber.
00:19:59.900
I mean, Andrew, I've never seen the likes of this in my life.
00:20:06.300
I hadn't gotten around to watching that season yet.
00:20:09.400
But what actually I think is relevant here is that we're beyond parody.
00:20:15.960
I mean, if I were to write a parallel universe in which I said,
00:20:19.520
OK, and the committee studying free speech is going to pass a motion to censor someone,
00:20:25.480
someone would look at me and say, oh, no, Andrew, that's not yet—no one would do that.
00:20:30.380
A discussion on free speech and the MPs unanimously, because the Conservatives abstained,
00:20:35.940
unanimously voted to censor someone's words from the record.
00:20:39.480
And I've got to tell you, David, it wasn't just that motion,
00:20:46.120
but it was when I went back and listened to the audio and found that even the audio,
00:20:51.560
which was supposed to be a live, raw feed of the meeting, had been retroactively edited,
00:20:57.060
silence in the place of where Michael Cooper was speaking.
00:21:00.340
And you go back and you listen, and he says, you know, I'm going to read from the manifesto of—
00:21:08.420
I mean, this is not something that is supposed to happen in a free and freedom-loving country.
00:21:15.300
When you're going back and removing something from the record,
00:21:18.260
it's not conjecture or hyperbole or exaggeration.
00:21:24.820
It is appalling, Andrew, and it's unbelievable it's happening in Canada.
00:21:28.800
And what's more, another angle I wanted to pursue with you,
00:21:31.720
it's how the Conservatives—and let's not forget,
00:21:34.240
there are dozens of Conservative MPs that were part of the Stephen Harper regime
00:21:40.940
back when this odious section was lifted from the Canadian Human Rights Act.
00:21:46.840
And I don't know, Andrew, I don't see any strength on this issue.
00:21:52.380
It's either they're sitting on their hands or they're voting for something that was going to be carried anyways,
00:21:57.340
because, as you mentioned, it was a Liberal-dominated committee.
00:22:02.180
I really wonder, where does Andrew Scheer stand on this?
00:22:10.720
I try to give criticism where it's due and credit where it's due.
00:22:14.560
And there was a lot of criticism due, in my view anyway,
00:22:18.200
towards Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives over how they handled the Michael Cooper situation,
00:22:23.300
how they handled, really just a week later, the Salim Mansoor nomination.
00:22:27.840
And I know you did an interview on that in London.
00:22:30.720
So I think that there was a string of really bad decisions there by the Conservatives.
00:22:35.620
But I have to say, in the Justice Committee report,
00:22:38.420
the Conservatives issued a dissent that was very positive, I'd say, in free speech.
00:22:44.180
They said, look, the Liberal recommendations are despicable.
00:22:47.720
They don't strike a balance between dealing with online hate and preserving free speech.
00:22:52.120
And bringing back Section 13 in no uncertain terms is a, like, that's just an absolute terrible idea.
00:22:59.060
So I do think that the Conservative response to the report was what I would have hoped it would have been.
00:23:05.060
Again, that doesn't take away my misgivings about the Conservatives in the procedural aspects of this.
00:23:10.980
I do think that Andrew Scheer is, as a person, on side.
00:23:14.520
I mean, this is a guy who, in the leadership race,
00:23:16.920
said he wanted to cut federal funding of universities that don't protect free speech.
00:23:21.400
So I don't know if this has just been a political miscalculation
00:23:25.320
or if this is about different advisers talking on different sides.
00:23:29.700
But I do think that if the Conservatives can do more of what's in this response to the report
00:23:35.660
and less of what they were doing in the mechanics of the committee,
00:23:41.560
But I want to see more of that before I can say,
00:23:44.340
yes, they're allies in this fight definitively.
00:23:46.520
Yeah, well, at the very least, Andrew, I think they've really miscommunicated their position.
00:23:52.980
And I'm saying this, too, in order to give you the benefit of the doubt.
00:23:55.740
When we spoke to Maxime Bernier that day after the committee hearing,
00:23:59.560
he was very clear, crystal clear where he stood on it.
00:24:03.220
He compared this to something out of the pages of 1984.
00:24:08.500
But, you know, we're running out of racetrack here.
00:24:14.540
Look into your crystal ball for me right now, if you could.
00:24:20.720
Is this going to be, is it an accomplished fate that this is going to be re-implemented
00:24:25.980
while this government is still sitting before the election day of October 21st?
00:24:33.260
Well, listen, we have very little runway left between now and the election
00:24:37.880
when you talk about sitting periods in the House of Commons.
00:24:41.820
And even if the Liberals were to throw together a law and implement it,
00:24:46.340
there's no way that gets through the House and the Senate
00:24:55.920
But I don't think we have to worry about something before the election.
00:24:59.840
But I do think we need to worry about what a re-elected Liberal government will do with this.
00:25:04.800
Because now that this report is on the record, Michael Cooper's words aren't,
00:25:08.600
this report is, the Liberals have the opportunity to use this as a jumping-off point
00:25:13.220
immediately into a new term to say, yeah, it's time to start tackling this.
00:25:17.760
And, you know, if they win, I mean, nightmare scenario for Canadians,
00:25:21.260
if the Liberals win a majority, that means there's no one to push back against this.
00:25:26.040
So I don't think there's an imminent fear here.
00:25:29.140
But I do think there is a genuine fear, if the Liberals are re-elected,
00:25:36.300
And it's not speculation or exaggeration to say that free speech suffers a blow.
00:25:42.280
Well, you just mentioned something, another Liberal majority.
00:25:45.560
I think that's the kind of thing that would give Count Floyd white hair.
00:25:50.940
If you need, we can go and remove it from the record, David.
00:25:55.800
If it bothered you, I can say I never mentioned it.
00:25:58.200
Maybe I'll review this interview before it's posted.
00:26:01.120
And if I don't like anything you said, I'll take inspiration from this Justice Committee
00:26:12.580
And let's hope there's not another horror movie-like cheesy cliché in October,
00:26:17.980
i.e. the return of another majority Liberal government.
00:26:23.100
Andrew, thank you so much for weighing in on this very important subject.
00:26:29.800
More of the Ezra Levent Show to come right after this.
00:26:32.160
Well, you know, folks, it's estimated that more than a million people clogged the streets
00:26:47.360
of downtown Toronto today to pay homage to their basketball heroes, winners of the 2019 NBA championship.
00:26:55.380
And Toronto was going to show the world, much like Toronto did in 1992 and 1993 with the Blue Jays winning the World Series,
00:27:03.060
how it's done to have a huge street party without any serious crime.
00:27:08.680
Well, my cameraman, Efren, and I were here at the atrium on Bay, and this broke out.
00:27:15.400
Well, that was the aftermath, and I didn't catch it from the beginning,
00:27:36.140
I thought it was people just engaged in tomfoolery, but no, those weren't screams of joy.
00:27:43.900
And, of course, the reason for those screams of terror was due to a few savages who thought it was perfectly okay
00:27:50.640
to bring handguns to a massive victory parade that saw as many as 2 million people clogging the streets of Toronto's downtown core.
00:28:00.060
As to motivation, was this all about settling a score?
00:28:05.320
Or were these just pathetic individuals who decided they would attempt to hijack a victory celebration for their own self-affirmation?
00:28:16.980
In the meantime, here's what some of you had to say.
00:28:22.580
I grew up in Newfoundland and Labrador, plenty of gun ownership, very little amount of gun crime.
00:28:30.520
It appears some folks in the inner city have bad upbringing and culture,
00:28:36.080
and these folk are the reason libs and lefties want to pick on Canadian law-abiding gun owners,
00:28:43.120
start jailing longer, and in some cases, deport them.
00:28:47.300
Well, Long Drives at Night, you touch upon a couple of good points here.
00:28:52.120
The knee-jerk reaction whenever there is any kind of crime involving guns is, of course,
00:28:56.940
to go after legal gun owners who are not the problem.
00:29:01.080
As for upbringing and cultural issues, well, these are no fly zones for the left.
00:29:06.980
It's just way too culturally sensitive for them.
00:29:10.460
And finally, when are we going to have some real penalties?
00:29:16.760
If you're found with an illegal handgun in your possession, bang, that's an automatic 10-year sentence.
00:29:23.040
But in this day and age of restorative justice, it is far easier to go after the legal gun owners
00:29:29.760
because that's an easy way to make it seem like the government is doing something to fix the problem,
00:29:36.560
whereas in reality, they are doing absolutely nothing.
00:29:53.760
The rebel is not and never will be a Trudeau-approved state stenographer.
00:29:58.760
We embrace the truth and we never shy away from telling it.
00:30:02.320
The reasons why the culprits weren't identified was due to the fact that when we filed our report,
00:30:09.500
But thanks to some excellent police work by Toronto's finest,
00:30:25.980
This threesome faces multiple firearms charges as well as several other charges.
00:30:33.780
In the meantime, let's hope that if found guilty,
00:30:36.900
the judge sends a firm message by throwing the book at these guys.
00:30:41.800
We don't know yet if the shootings were targeted,
00:30:46.960
a bullet missing its intended target would have surely have hit an innocent bystander.
00:30:53.720
And there were thousands of kids at this parade.
00:30:56.380
Like I said, let's hope the judge likes the idea of hard time in prison,
00:31:01.500
as opposed to sending human trash to some healing lodge in Saskatchewan.
00:31:08.740
Nobody cares about the Raptors or whatever they are called.
00:31:12.640
Nobody even knew about it merely two months ago.
00:31:15.580
The dumb millennials are biting into anything with a slight hype.
00:31:20.000
After a month, nobody will remember the news or care.
00:31:31.460
The numbers indicate that people do indeed care, Toby T,
00:31:35.940
when you get about two million people out on the street
00:31:38.660
waiting to catch a glimpse of a procession that was more than three hours late.
00:31:46.400
Granted, there were plenty of bandwagon hoppers, myself included,
00:31:57.800
Hey, if you're going to buy all that pricey official merchandise,
00:32:03.720
As for your statement that basketball is non-existent in Canada,
00:32:11.600
and I would suggest that this nation is now producing
00:32:15.120
world-class basketball talent that is second only to the USA.
00:32:20.380
They say everyone loves a parade, but if you don't,
00:32:25.500
I just don't get the idea of dumping on something
00:32:28.600
that was truly a golden moment for Toronto and even Canada.
00:32:35.820
who tried to hijack this celebration with their gunplay,
00:32:43.480
Unlike so many other victory parades in Europe and North America,
00:32:48.660
Hogtown lived up to its nickname of Toronto the Good.
00:32:56.020
Police cruisers were not overturned and set ablaze.
00:32:59.380
All of this mindless crap has become a due rigueur occurrence
00:33:10.620
All of this mindless ن voyage to all different areas.
00:33:17.460
We've been thinking about the different ways we've been able to
