Transcript

00:00:00.000 Oh, hi, my rebels. I've got a story for you today about Trudeau's plan. It's not quite a plan.
00:00:07.180 They're putting together a plan to bring home 30 ISIS terrorists. And when I say bring home,
00:00:13.500 they're Canadians who renounced Canada, went to Syria and Iraq to be terrorists, murdered,
00:00:18.580 raped, war crimes. And now that they lost, they want to come back to Canada. And not only do I
00:00:24.480 tell you the news, which you may have seen Stuart Bell report, but I do something I don't think
00:00:28.860 has been done a lot in the media, if ever. I take you through about four of the sections in our
00:00:35.260 criminal code that allow Canada to prosecute terrorists without having to have proof of,
00:00:42.960 well, he raped this woman and he murdered that baby. I show you the actual wording in our criminal
00:00:48.920 code. And I think I make a persuasive case. You tell me that we can prosecute all of these ISIS
00:00:55.340 returnees immediately on their return, if, God forbid, they come back here. Anyways, that's
00:01:00.940 ahead. But before I get out of the way, can you please consider going to the rebel.media slash
00:01:05.360 shows and becoming a premium content subscriber? It's eight bucks a month. You get the video version
00:01:12.500 of the show. And I got some vids for you today. And you get access to Sheila Gunn-Reed's show and
00:01:17.040 David Menzies' show. And of course, it's an important source of financial support for us because we
00:01:21.580 ain't taking that government cash. You know that. All right. Here's today's episode.
00:01:26.780 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.
00:01:30.040 Tonight, Trudeau's RCMP are getting ready to bring ISIS terrorists from Syria to Canada.
00:01:37.060 It's May 22nd, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:41.980 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:45.480 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:49.800 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:54.700 right to do so.
00:02:00.640 How many ISIS terrorists have gone from Canada to Syria and Iraq, murdered and raped and committed
00:02:08.080 other war crimes there, engaged in ethnic cleansing against Christians and other infidels, laid waste
00:02:16.300 to vast swaths of the Middle East, displaced countless refugees, and then have been allowed
00:02:21.520 to quietly return to Canada without any legal consequences at all? What's the number? Is it 80?
00:02:27.580 Is it 100? Is it 200? Don't expect Justin Trudeau to tell us, and don't expect Ralph Goodale to let
00:02:34.600 the police tell us either. You'll recall he scolded Canada's security services for daring to name
00:02:41.360 terrorist threats to Canada, including Muslim terrorist groups and Sikh extremist groups.
00:02:47.920 Goodale literally instructed police and security agencies to revise their warning, to edit it,
00:02:54.760 to make it politically correct. But why not? I mean, we know Trudeau orders police and prosecutors
00:03:00.200 around all the time. We know that Trudeau personally demanded that Vice Admiral Mark Norman be
00:03:05.380 investigated by police, even though he was innocent, just because he embarrassed the liberals. And we
00:03:11.060 know that Trudeau personally pressured the attorney general herself to drop charges against his friends,
00:03:16.940 SNC-Lavalin, who actually admitted to criminal corruption. So of course the liberals are going to
00:03:21.800 tell the police to cover up the nature of terrorism in Canada. And I tell you this because now comes news
00:03:26.720 that the RCMP is getting ready to escort home to Canada even more ISIS terrorists.
00:03:33.760 Turkey willing to help Canada repatriate ISIS members held in Syria, officials says. Now this is a story
00:03:40.920 from Global News, who are notoriously unreliable, but it's written by Stuart Bell, who actually knows his stuff.
00:03:47.220 He's probably the best journalist on the terrorism beat in Canada. Let me read a little bit from the story.
00:03:52.520 Turkey is open to allowing captured Canadian ISIS members to transit through the country so they
00:04:00.560 can return to Canada for prosecution, a Turkish official said in an interview. The official told
00:04:08.000 Global News that Turkey was willing to cooperate with the RCMP to repatriate the dozens of Canadians
00:04:13.320 caught by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces during the collapse of ISIS. I think we would be positive to that,
00:04:19.240 said the official. Due to the sensitivity of the issue, the official and a colleague spoke on the
00:04:25.080 condition they would not be identified. Now who cares what the Turks say? They're becoming more and
00:04:30.820 more Islamist themselves all the time. There was a lot of evidence that they were actually allied with
00:04:35.380 ISIS. They, for example, bought black market oil shipments from ISIS for years, which financed so
00:04:42.160 much of the terrorism. Like ISIS, they hate the Kurds, and the Turks actually bombed the Kurds in Iraq.
00:04:48.400 So maybe the Turks are just looking to cause trouble, which they do more and more. They
00:04:52.500 interfere in the West, certainly in Europe. They're hardly worthy of the name NATO ally, frankly. So
00:04:57.300 maybe this is all disinformation, but read this. The RCMP has been exploring options for bringing
00:05:03.400 the roughly 30 Canadians held by the Syrian Democratic Forces back to Canada. Turkey is
00:05:09.180 considered the preferred route. The Liberal government has said it would be difficult to get the Canadians out
00:05:14.720 of Syria because they could be arrested and charged by authorities in neighboring Turkey and Iraq.
00:05:20.820 So that's the news today. The Turks have told Stuart Bell, who I trust, that they would be happy to assist
00:05:26.860 getting those terrorists into Canada, just as long as they didn't have to deal with the Kurds.
00:05:30.780 So the Kurds, who are pro-Western allies that the Turks hate, so the plan suggested by Turkey is that
00:05:36.080 the Kurds would give the ISIS terrorists to the RCMP themselves, or to Canadian soldiers themselves
00:05:40.720 in Syria, who would then escort them to Turkey, and then the terrorists would apparently be flown
00:05:45.420 from Turkey to Canada. That's what Turkey's proposing. And of course, you know what's going
00:05:51.300 to happen. Trudeau and the Liberals love ISIS terrorists. ISIS, as you may recall, is an offshoot
00:05:56.580 of Al-Qaeda. That's Omar Khadr's terrorist group. Justin Trudeau so loves Omar Khadr that he gave him
00:06:02.740 $10.5 million and a public apology. And worse, he connived with Khadr's lawyers in secret to secretly
00:06:11.040 transfer the money to Khadr in a way that allowed Khadr to hide the money from the family of the man
00:06:15.860 that Omar Khadr murdered. Tabitha Speer, the widow of Christopher Speer, is suing Omar Khadr.
00:06:21.440 So is Lane Morris, the man Khadr blinded in one eye. Trudeau worked secretly with Khadr to hide the
00:06:27.760 money from Khadr's victims. So yeah, do you doubt Trudeau wants to bring more ISIS terrorists back?
00:06:34.720 It's not just Omar Khadr. Three other terrorists or alleged terrorists have each been paid approximately
00:06:40.720 $10 million by Trudeau in other absurd settlements too. They're not real settlements. These terrorists
00:06:49.300 or accused terrorists don't have real claims against Canada. Khadr had no real claim against Canada.
00:06:53.420 This is just Trudeau's way of laundering money to the terrorists or accused terrorists. He says,
00:06:57.240 Oh, we'd better pay them because they could in the future sue us in court and win. So we better
00:07:03.440 give them $10 million. Yeah, no, this is just you, Justin Trudeau, just giving coming up on 50 million
00:07:08.420 bucks to terrorists. But Canadian veterans, well, yeah, Trudeau doesn't have a lot of time or money
00:07:15.280 for them. Again, my question is, what veterans were you talking about? Was it the ones that fought
00:07:22.260 against? For the freedoms and values that you so proudly boast about? Or was it the ones who fought
00:07:27.380 against? Because honestly, Mr. Prime Minister, I was prepared to be injured in the line of duty when I
00:07:34.620 went to, when I joined the military. Nobody forced me to join the military. I was prepared to be killed in
00:07:41.460 action. What I wasn't prepared for, Mr. Prime Minister, is Canada turning its back on me.
00:07:53.700 So which veteran was it that you were talking about?
00:07:57.780 Thank you for having the courage to stand here. And thank you for listening to my answer
00:08:01.780 on a couple of elements you brought up. First of all, why are we still fighting against certain
00:08:10.140 veterans groups in court? Because they're asking for more than we are able to give right now.
00:08:18.140 Now, why should these terrorists from ISIS be allowed back at all? Look at how Trudeau is so
00:08:24.740 dismissive of that Canadian hero. But why, why is he working to bring terrorists here?
00:08:30.940 I know there's a technical legal argument. If someone has a Canadian passport, if they're a
00:08:36.500 Canadian citizen, they have the, that's what a passport means, to pass back to Canada. Now,
00:08:42.360 we can argue about that. But why should Canada lift a finger to assist in bringing them back?
00:08:48.940 It's one thing for them to have the legal right to return. Let's put that aside for now. But why
00:08:52.480 should Canada work towards it, negotiate towards it, spend money, make arrangements? Why should that
00:08:57.820 be done? Why is that not asking more than Trudeau is willing to give? Let me read some more from
00:09:02.620 Stuart Bell's story. The RCMP sees Turkey as a better option than Iraq, where foreign ISIS members
00:09:09.100 could face death sentences. An RCMP delegation visited Turkey in March. And officials from the
00:09:15.060 two NATO allies held recent security consultations. So I'm still trying to figure out what the problem
00:09:20.520 there is with Iraq. So these are terrorists. They committed terrorism in Iraq. They murdered Iraqis
00:09:27.480 and raped Iraqis. Why should they not stand trial in Iraq? They are terrorists. In our Canadian, British,
00:09:34.340 American legal tradition, terrorists are outside the law. They're not soldiers who are entitled to the
00:09:40.740 Geneva Conventions of War. They're legally the same species as pirates, actually, who can be killed
00:09:46.420 practically on site. Why wouldn't we let the Iraqis try them? Why would we go to any lengths to return
00:09:54.120 them to Canada, where they will surely be set free if not paid $10 million each? What a contrast to this
00:10:00.900 enormous effort to bring home dozens of murderers and rapists. What a contrast with the RCMP and the
00:10:05.220 military in our foreign affairs department, all working around the clock with various foreign governments
00:10:09.340 to save their terrorists. What a contrast with how Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland ignore our two Canadians
00:10:15.380 held hostage by China, Trudeau's favorite country. Someone sent me the following pitiful clip of
00:10:21.980 Chrystia Freeland, our foreign minister, on the CBC last night. Obviously, I don't watch the National,
00:10:26.440 but he sent me this. Just take a look at this. It's just amazing. I have sought repeatedly a meeting
00:10:33.140 with Wang Yi, the foreign minister, my counterpart. Thus far, that meeting hasn't happened. But if Chinese
00:10:40.480 officials are listening to us today, let me repeat that I would be very keen to meet with Minister Wang Yi,
00:10:53.120 or to speak with him over the phone at the earliest opportunity.
00:10:56.080 Um, China, if you're watching this, um, can you totally return my calls, okay, or text me?
00:11:07.040 That is how far we have fallen. But what will happen if these terrorists do return to Canada? And
00:11:14.160 imagine the price of it. Well, Trudeau says we have so much to learn from these terrorists. They're
00:11:22.000 such an important voice, these terrorists and rapists and war criminals. You know,
00:11:26.080 Justin Trudeau is a feminist. He keeps telling us that. But you know, we all have a lot to learn
00:11:34.560 from rapists.
00:11:36.560 I think it's now that in Syria and Iraq, they've been declared defeated. There is a question of them
00:11:42.080 coming back to this country. And you can't possibly monitor all of them. Can you?
00:11:48.560 Yes, we have security agencies that are engaged on this file very much. But there's also a lot of
00:11:54.720 community outreach going on. We know that actually, someone who has engaged and turned away from that
00:12:04.080 hateful ideology can be an extraordinarily powerful voice.
00:12:09.840 Yeah. Well, that's, I can see what's happening. I can see what's going to happen. Can't you? Of
00:12:14.960 course you can. But what should happen? Well, first of all, we shouldn't lift a finger to repatriate
00:12:21.520 these terrorists to Canada. They disavowed Canada. They're morally opposed to the concept of Canada
00:12:26.160 as a sovereign country because, of course, it is a nation of man with secular laws. Queen Elizabeth
00:12:32.080 is our head of state. It's not a nation of Allah. It's not a theocracy.
00:12:37.040 Many of these terrorists actually make the point when they go to Syria and Iraq of burning
00:12:40.640 their national passports as a symbol that they don't believe in Western nation states. They're
00:12:44.720 only part of the Muslim ummah. So why help them come back to Canada? But if they do come back,
00:12:52.800 if they do manage to make their way back, why do we not prosecute them? The first sentence of
00:12:57.040 Stuart Bell's story implied there would be a prosecution. But there has not been a prosecution
00:13:00.720 to date of any returning ISIS terrorists. Why do we let them roam around Canada in one case
00:13:07.520 to re-terrorize one of the rape victims? Let me explain the story that Barbara Kay wrote in the
00:13:14.080 National Post and I've seen it elsewhere. There was a rape victim of an ISIS terrorist. The rape victim
00:13:18.480 came to Canada. But her ISIS rapist was allowed back into Canada too. And they're both living freely in
00:13:26.880 the same city. And imagine that the rape victim encountered her rapist in Canada walking free.
00:13:33.280 How is that even possible? Well, Justin Trudeau, that's how it's possible. Though in fairness,
00:13:39.040 Stephen Harper didn't prosecute any of them either. Why not? You might think, how can you put a terrorist on
00:13:43.920 trial though? For what he did in a war zone far away, perhaps years ago. When all the witnesses
00:13:51.360 might be killed, perhaps killed by the terrorist himself, when there is no evidence in hand.
00:13:57.040 When you couldn't bring people to a trial, when you couldn't have a chain of custody over the
00:14:02.240 evidence. We've all watched police procedurals where it's impossible to convict someone beyond
00:14:06.880 a reasonable doubt when the crime scene was obliterated, perhaps by a bomb, when a hundred practical
00:14:12.240 problems would make such a prosecution impossible. Just think of all the translations. How could you
00:14:16.400 possibly have a prosecution like that in the Canadian court? Well, obviously you can't. And
00:14:21.760 obviously you can't fight a war with lawyers. You can't fight terrorists in a far away land with a
00:14:28.560 beyond a reasonable doubt obsession with details and evidence and testimony that we use in our domestic
00:14:33.120 criminal law. It doesn't work for foreign terrorists. And it doesn't have to work though,
00:14:36.800 that's the point. Because after 9-11, the liberal government of Canada, Jean Chrétien, actually
00:14:44.000 revamped our terrorism laws in Canada within months of 9-11 actually. And they have been updated
00:14:50.960 occasionally as well to deal with specific cases like ISIS. In fact, there are plenty of laws in
00:14:55.840 Canada that apply other than our traditional criminal code crimes like murder, say. There are
00:15:01.360 financial laws if someone sends money to a terrorist group. You're a terrorist. There's organizing laws.
00:15:06.400 There's doing things here in Canada. Here's an example from our criminal code. There is so much
00:15:10.480 in our criminal code now. I'm not going to read too much of it. But this part, section 83.18.1,
00:15:15.520 participation in activity of terrorist group. Everyone who knowingly participates in or contributes to,
00:15:22.560 directly or indirectly, any activity of a terrorist group for the purpose of enhancing the ability of
00:15:28.880 any terrorist group to facilitate or carry out a terrorist activity is guilty of an indictable
00:15:33.440 offense and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years. So you don't have to prove who
00:15:39.440 killed whom, who raped whom. Just that someone did something, even indirectly, to help terrorism.
00:15:47.120 I'm going to read some more. I want to show you how expansive this is.
00:15:50.000 And an offense may be committed under subsection one, whether or not, look at all this, look at all
00:15:57.840 these, whether or not a terrorist group actually facilitates or carry out a terrorist activity.
00:16:04.160 The participation or contribution of the accused actually enhances the ability of a terrorist group
00:16:09.280 to facilitate or carry out a terrorist activity. Or whether or not the accused knows the specific
00:16:14.720 nature of any terrorist activity that may be facilitated or carried out by a terrorist group.
00:16:20.800 So you don't even have to know what's going on. You don't even have to be competent.
00:16:25.280 You just have to try to help. And you're guilty 10 years in jail.
00:16:30.960 There are so many sections in our criminal code like this, I promise I won't read them all to you.
00:16:35.520 I'm just trying to show you how easy it is to convict someone who supports terrorism or a terrorist
00:16:41.520 group without proving they detonated a bomb or raped someone here. Just for example,
00:16:46.800 this video of Omar Khadr. This is an al-Qaeda propaganda video. This is a video of Omar Khadr
00:16:53.040 building IEDs, improvised explosive devices, for al-Qaeda. This is enough proof to convict him
00:16:59.840 on multiple charges. Let me just read a little bit more to prove to you my point. You don't need
00:17:05.120 to have Matlock or an Arab Colombo to prosecute these guys. Even Inspector Clouseau could do it.
00:17:11.680 Let me read some more. This is the criminal code definition of participating or contributing.
00:17:18.640 Participating in or contributing to an activity of a terrorist group includes providing, receiving,
00:17:26.560 or recruiting a person to receive training. Providing or offering to provide a skill or an expertise for
00:17:34.000 the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group. Recruiting
00:17:39.360 a person in order to facilitate or commit a terrorist offense or an act or omission outside Canada that if
00:17:46.240 committed in Canada would be a terrorism offense. Entering or remaining in any country for the benefit
00:17:52.960 of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group. That's a crime. And in making oneself
00:17:59.920 in response to instructions from any of the persons who constitute a terrorist group,
00:18:05.280 available to facilitate or commit a terrorism offense or an act or omission outside Canada that
00:18:10.080 have committed in Canada would be a terrorism offense. So just saying, yeah, I'm available for
00:18:15.280 your instruction. That's a terrorist offense. Ten years. Trying to go there. Ten years.
00:18:21.680 Ten years. Even if you're just associated with you. That is everyone in that Syrian prison.
00:18:28.240 There are plenty more sections that apply. Even just traveling abroad. Financial. Just the goal.
00:18:33.040 I'm going to Turkey. Even if you don't even get there. That's a defense. The fact that they're all
00:18:38.320 there over right now is pretty much all the proof you need to convict them. Ten years in prison. So
00:18:42.320 why no prosecutions? And if there have been no prosecutions so far, why would you think there would
00:18:49.920 be prosecutions to come? Justin Trudeau will not prosecute these terrorists. He'll praise them
00:18:54.880 and pay them and listen to their very important voice. What a disgrace. What a disgrace.
00:19:01.120 But I think he already knew that. Stay with us more on this subject.
00:19:09.200 Welcome back. Well, last year when I was in London on one of my many trips to Tommy Robinson's court cases,
00:19:25.680 I took a moment to visit the spot on the street where a British soldier named Lee Rigby
00:19:33.360 was murdered. He was literally decapitated in broad daylight by a Muslim terrorist.
00:19:41.600 I wondered how that spot was marked. And I was utterly disappointed when I saw how. Here,
00:19:48.080 take a look at this quick clip. And where's the memorial? Where's the statue? Where's the plaque?
00:19:53.440 Where's the story? Where's some sort of consecration of this ground? You have nothing. You have this.
00:19:58.320 What's this? What's this? Some sort of power transformer? What on earth is this all there is?
00:20:05.200 Like an unmarked tombstone. All there is is some flowers and a tiny brass plaque on the ground,
00:20:13.760 covered in dirt, and more to the point, without any meaning in loving memory and a tribute to a true
00:20:20.800 hero, Lee Rigby, his date of birth and the day he was murdered in our hearts forever, but with no
00:20:25.200 explanation, who was he? There's no mention even that he was a soldier. His military title is not
00:20:32.160 there. No mention of how he died. Was it just a car accident? Sometimes along the side of a highway,
00:20:37.760 you see flowers and a little cross in remembrance. Remembrance of what? You say you want to remember,
00:20:44.320 but what are you remembering? No one knows. If someone were to walk by here, they would not understand
00:20:50.000 what's going on. If they came to inspect the notes, they might have a clue by reading this
00:20:55.440 absolutely heart-rending one. I'm going to try and read it without choking up. It says,
00:21:00.560 to dad, I miss you a lot. I love you, from Jack.
00:21:10.080 Imagine that, not saying how he died, why he died. A little brass plaque covered by dirt and dust. And
00:21:17.040 all the politicians say, oh, we can't have a memorial here. It would distress social cohesion.
00:21:23.040 Well, at least you can go to the spot where Lee Rigby's brass plaque is and look for it yourself.
00:21:31.200 But even that is not allowed in Canada for the nearly 160 Canadians who died fighting in Afghanistan.
00:21:40.960 I always say that the UK is a time machine where we can see our future five years down the road. And
00:21:46.720 it has come to pass. Joining us now to tell us the disgraceful manner in which the Canadian forces
00:21:53.040 brass have commemorated the, I think it's 159 dead and many more wounded from Afghanistan is our friend
00:22:00.400 Lee Humphrey, a combat veteran himself. Lee, nice to see you again.
00:22:04.400 Good to see you, Ezra. The story is written, there's a version of the story in the National Post by
00:22:10.960 Christy Blatchford, who is a real supporter of the troops. Can you give us the basic facts of
00:22:16.720 how this memorial was announced, where it is, the restrictive access to it, and some of the
00:22:23.760 excuses put up by the Canadian forces? Yeah, it blew my mind when I saw this
00:22:31.920 several days back and commented on it. And I was absolutely stunned that they had held
00:22:39.760 a memorial service in secret that only included serving members of our military and allied militaries,
00:22:48.880 that they delayed the notification of this service to the public with the excuse that they were sending
00:22:57.520 letters to the family of the fallen to let them know that the ceremony had taken place,
00:23:03.280 even though they weren't invited in any way, shape or form. Then they began to make excuses when it did
00:23:10.560 become public that, you know, they wanted a dignified service as if having veterans of the Afghan war,
00:23:18.560 wounded veterans of the Afghan war, or families of the fallen in attendance wouldn't have in fact brought
00:23:26.400 a sense of dignity to that ceremony. It should have been held in public, it should have been publicized,
00:23:34.160 because I think all Canadians want to not celebrate, but remember the ultimate sacrifice that these men and
00:23:44.960 and women paid for their fellow Canadians during this conflict. Then to go on and put it into a annex of
00:23:58.160 the National Defense Headquarters, which ensures that no veteran, no Canadian will ever get to visit this
00:24:07.040 memorial. Only people that are still serving can get in or families of the fallen. If they send in a request
00:24:17.600 for a specific viewing time, it's absolutely disgusting that they would do this. It's absolutely disheartening
00:24:27.840 that our government would treat veterans in this way. You know, there's so many things about
00:24:32.800 this that I, I mean, this cannot be accidental. Surely someone must have mentioned it. It's almost
00:24:38.240 as if, it's not almost as if, I'm not going to pretend that there's any doubt here. They are ashamed
00:24:43.440 of this. They want to have this in some little tucked away place. There's this one quirk that
00:24:48.320 Christy Blatchford talks about where couriered letters were sent to the families of the fallen
00:24:54.480 on May 10th saying the first letter. The first line of the letter is the Afghanistan Memorial was, uh,
00:25:03.040 was officially opened on May 13th. So they sent these letters out before it happened saying,
00:25:10.640 oh, it's already happened. It's all like every single thing here is weird. They didn't even tweet
00:25:16.400 about it. They didn't have a press release about it. They didn't tell anyone about it until after the
00:25:20.320 fact, and I'm sorry, I had my stats wrong. There were 40,000 Canadians who served in Afghanistan
00:25:25.840 over the course of years, and there were 1800 who were wounded. The number of people who had to be
00:25:32.400 in on this bizarre secret keeping surely measures dozens or hundreds. This was a planned
00:25:40.640 demotion, diminution of the valor of the 159 fallen and the 1800 wounded. This is almost as big a scandal
00:25:48.560 as the Mark Norman scandal in my mind, Lee. You know, it is baffling because you're right.
00:25:56.400 Hundreds would have been involved in the planning of this from public affairs,
00:26:01.120 senior officials in the Department of National Defense on the Chief of Defense side of the equation,
00:26:10.160 as well as senior members in the Minister of National Defense's office. PMO would have been involved.
00:26:17.680 PCO would have been involved. Everybody at the senior level of government would have been involved in
00:26:25.760 this as well as veterans affairs. And something like this doesn't happen by accident. This was planned.
00:26:33.200 They purposefully decided to keep this from the public, to keep it from the family,
00:26:39.360 families of the fallen, to keep it from wounded Afghan vets, to keep it from Canadians.
00:26:44.560 It's absolutely disgusting what they've done here. And on top of the Mark Norman fiasco,
00:26:51.760 it just says that this government, this minister, this Chief of Defense staff have absolutely
00:27:02.160 fallen from grace. I mean, I'm lost for words to describe what they've done here. I really am.
00:27:08.320 Well, I think we had an early signal. You might recall that the anniversary of
00:27:16.240 the murder of Corporal Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial, it was in the interregnum.
00:27:23.040 I'm trying to remember my dates here. When Stephen Harper was not yet succeeded by Justin Trudeau as
00:27:29.600 prime minister, but there was an overlap period. He was the prime minister-designate. Harper was still
00:27:34.480 the prime minister. I'm going from memory here, but I seem to recall them jointly laying a wreath
00:27:41.120 together. But the next year, Trudeau did not mark that ceremony. He sort of was pressed into it
00:27:49.200 because Harper was still the PM. So many things like this. It's not an accident. It's a pattern.
00:27:55.680 And there's just one line, and I think you referred to it. A military spokesman told
00:28:03.440 Christy Bladsford, the decision to hold a humble internal event was made by senior leadership
00:28:09.600 to ensure proper reverence. You referred to that earlier. The implication being that if we let
00:28:16.880 families... The implication there, the lie, the cover-up is as abusive in its own way as the
00:28:25.200 original decision. What can be done here? Surely this is boiling the blood of thousands and thousands
00:28:32.960 of people inside the military. The military is an institution that depends on discipline. How can
00:28:38.960 loyal soldiers express their upset without being insubordinate?
00:28:45.440 Yeah, the way serving members do that is they contact those of us that are veterans,
00:28:51.360 that are advocates. So, you know, a couple of things have jumped up and really
00:28:58.560 become dominant issues on the Facebook page that I found at Veterans for the Conservative Party of
00:29:06.240 Canada. One of the moments that stunned us was when Trudeau authorized the payment of $10.5 million
00:29:16.720 to a terrorist named Omar Khadr. And the visceral reaction on our page was overwhelming and long-lasting.
00:29:26.400 The Mark Norman case was another time when veterans and their supporters really rose up
00:29:32.720 and expressed themselves frequently on the page. This, when we first began posting about it earlier
00:29:42.560 during the long weekend, and then again last night as the excuses began to roll,
00:29:50.320 is again blowing up in the veterans community and with serving members contacting me directly saying,
00:29:57.200 you've got to speak about this, we're livid about this, especially about the CBS.
00:30:03.600 Especially coming on the news that he just got a massive raise, which is, you know, in our lingo,
00:30:11.120 that's like a reward. And so the serving members are livid. So they're reaching out to us to speak on their behalf.
00:30:19.920 Now, Harjit Sajjan, the defense minister, I mean, on paper, he looked like an incredible
00:30:25.440 candidate. Not only was he a former cop, but he was a former soldier who served in theater. And he
00:30:31.440 looked like a happy warrior. He looked like a real soldier's soldier. We've since learned a few things
00:30:36.800 about him. But putting aside his flaws, he did serve. He did serve in jeopardy. And he
00:30:45.360 surely did have moments of braveness and courage and leadership. And he absolutely surely had friends
00:30:52.480 who died or were wounded. I mean, put aside any other flaws in the man. How can someone who served
00:31:00.000 in the theater? So, I mean, that's, that's these days, that's unusual for a defense minister.
00:31:06.640 Um, how can he abide this? Is there no germ of loyalty within him still? Has it all been drummed
00:31:14.880 out? Is his love for the, the luxury lifestyle of a cabinet minister so strong that he, that there's
00:31:23.440 no vestige of loyalty to the grunts, to the, to the guys he was in a trench with? How does that work?
00:31:29.440 Well, you allude to, you know, his embellishment of his service. Within the military, there's only
00:31:39.040 really a few things that officers can do that will end their, any form of respect that soldiers have
00:31:46.640 for them. And one of them is embellishing your own service record, especially in combat. And he did it
00:31:53.440 in purposeful ways on multiple occasions. It wasn't an accidental exaggeration or a report
00:32:00.880 that was exaggerated that he was unable to correct. So soldiers already had a problem with that.
00:32:07.920 He got to keep his job. So his loyalty to Trudeau for allowing him to remain as the defense minister,
00:32:16.480 despite something that should have been a fireable offense, he should have been demanded. It should
00:32:22.560 have been absolutely demanded that he fall on his sword and resign from cabinet for what he had done
00:32:28.560 to disgrace those that served and actually did plan op Medusa. And so I can only surmise that his loyalty
00:32:39.600 to Trudeau now for allowing him to keep that, that great job, and I can't imagine what a great job it would
00:32:46.480 be to be to be the minister of national defense has surpassed his loyalty to the men and women of the
00:32:55.600 Canadian Armed Forces. And he allowed this to go forward because that's what the PMO wanted.
00:33:00.560 That is so frustrating. You know, we have our tiny story and it is in no way comparable to the stories
00:33:09.120 we've just discussed. But I remember a couple of Christmases ago, we saw a little story in the CFB
00:33:16.880 Borden base newspaper about how they needed a food drive for the food bank for Christmas hampers,
00:33:24.720 not for the surrounding community, but for but for serving soldiers. So we crowdfunded 15 grand and
00:33:31.600 sent it over and they refused the check. And we went to two other veterans charities.
00:33:36.480 They accepted the check, but then they got a call from Sajan's office saying, don't cash the check
00:33:45.280 from the rebel. And, and look, we were just trying to give money to, in the end, Lee, you helped us
00:33:50.720 find a veterans charity in Calgary that we gave it to. But what kind of defense minister and his staff
00:33:57.440 goes out of his way to stop a charity check from going to a soldier's food bank because you hate
00:34:04.880 the rebel so much that to me was so troubling. And we did an access to information request on that.
00:34:10.720 And we saw all the dozens of defense staff who were panicked about the fact that this was the rebel.
00:34:16.480 We can't let them help soldiers. And they literally put Trudeau's ego ahead of, and it wasn't a huge
00:34:22.880 donation. It was just 15 grand. I was so upset by that. And it's trivial compared to the other things
00:34:28.720 we're talking about. But it's another proof point that this is a pattern, Lee. This isn't an accident
00:34:34.560 or, or getting a foot wrong. This is a pattern. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the word has come on down
00:34:43.200 from on high that, you know, the military cannot cooperate with any form of group or media organization
00:34:54.480 like yourselves, if it goes against the Trudeau brand in any way, shape or form. And the CDS and
00:35:01.920 the minister have signed on to this for whatever their reasons are. And they've been pursuing this
00:35:08.880 ideology for years now. I can't express how disappointed I am in the CDS. He was a well-respected combat leader
00:35:20.560 until he became CDS. And I can tell you the respect loss is insurmountable for him.
00:35:27.120 Yeah. Well, I tell you, it's, I mean, listen, I never served in the military.
00:35:32.400 So I just speak as an outsider, but I can only imagine having gone through the fire of Afghanistan
00:35:41.520 to, to, to, to sell out the respect of the troops in the, in the way he has done. And this memorial
00:35:51.120 is, it's, it's heartbreaking and hopefully it'll be undone. And hopefully this public pressure will
00:35:56.480 cause a change in course. And if it doesn't, hopefully, I think Trudeau may well lose the
00:36:02.080 next election. And hopefully a conservative defense minister will correct this error. I certainly hope
00:36:07.680 so I, I can't imagine that Canadians would abide this slap in the face for long. Last word to you,
00:36:12.960 Lee. Yeah, sure. So just before the last election, uh, Aaron O'Toole and the then defense minister,
00:36:20.880 Jason Kenney put out, uh, uh, a plan for a series of memorials and, uh, uh, renovations to existing
00:36:30.720 monuments to add the Afghan war. And I recently spoke to a member of the conservative party to
00:36:39.200 be assured that that plan would be put immediately back on the table to correct this wrong. We must
00:36:45.280 be proud of our efforts in Afghanistan to liberate the people of Afghanistan from tyrannical terrorist
00:36:53.120 rule. And the men and women that sacrificed everything for that deserve nothing less from us.
00:37:00.640 Well said, Lee Humphries, thank you so much for joining us today. And I hope that what you've
00:37:06.000 just described, the remedy that you've just said exists in a plan form. I hope that plan is indeed
00:37:13.040 executed this fall. Thanks for your time, my friend. Thank you, Reiser. All right. Great to see.
00:37:18.080 That's our friend T. Lee Humphrey. Of course, he's a conservative activist and a former
00:37:23.040 member of our military. Stay with us. More ahead on the rubble.
00:37:29.840 Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about the United Kingdom leftists embracing
00:37:41.680 political violence. James writes,
00:37:43.120 The violence and hate generated by the intolerant left progressives has infected the Western world,
00:37:49.200 encouraged by our globalist-controlled fake news, MSM, political elitist establishment. They hate
00:37:53.760 anyone with a contrary opinion to the close-minded PC dogma. Well, that's interesting. You know,
00:37:58.240 our Jessica S. Svetinovsky, I'm trying to pronounce the last name, I don't want to do it wrong.
00:38:04.560 She's doing great over there in the UK. You should go to TommyReports.com. She's doing like three
00:38:08.960 videos a day. It's great. And she talks to so many people who I'm going to call low information
00:38:15.200 voters. And I'm not even saying that as an insult. They just don't have a lot of information. They're
00:38:19.360 not really following politics closely. But they've heard of Tommy Robinson and they have sort of a
00:38:23.360 message track. Oh, Tommy Robinson. I'll just repeat the last thing I heard from my friend or from the
00:38:28.480 media. So she asked him, what do you think of Tommy? Oh, he's a fascist. Do you have an example?
00:38:34.080 No, you should look it up. Like she's probably talked to 20 Tommy haters. And she asked all of them,
00:38:41.040 well, can you give me an example? It's a fair question. I mean, if you said to me, Ezra,
00:38:44.720 why do you think Louis Farrakhan's an anti-Semite? I could give you like five specific examples
00:38:52.160 immediately because I know why I think he's anti-Semite if we're talking about that.
00:38:58.880 20 people, she's asked, why do you think Tommy's a fascist? Um, just because, or you look it up,
00:39:05.040 or you tell me, or I don't know. And what's that? That's the media demonization of him.
00:39:11.200 So if you lay down this message track endlessly, this endless drumbeat, Tommy's a fascist, Tommy's a
00:39:16.800 fascist, Tommy's a fascist, low information voters who don't really do any research on their own and just
00:39:21.440 have barely listened to politics. And fair enough, right? I mean, I think most of us listen to politics
00:39:26.400 too much. It would be nice if we didn't have to, but a low information voter here. Oh,
00:39:29.920 Tommy's a racist. Obviously racist. So yes, your point is the media is absolutely behind this.
00:39:34.080 So if you actually, if someone actually believes that Tommy is a Nazi,
00:39:37.680 and if you tell 60 plus million Brits that he's a Nazi, maybe one of them's actually going to say,
00:39:43.440 oh my God, he's, he's a Nazi. Oh my God, he's the next Adolf Hitler. And we all know the, you know,
00:39:49.280 thought experiment, if we had a time machine and could go back and kill Hitler, of course we would,
00:39:53.680 that would save history. So you tell 60 million plus Brits that Tommy's the next Hitler, one of them
00:39:59.200 might actually believe you. And if he's truly seized with the belief that there's a new Hitler
00:40:03.120 about to kill millions of people, he probably thinks he's saving the world by killing Tommy.
00:40:09.660 Yeah. So yeah, you're right. The media drumbeat. Robert writes, first they start with milkshakes,
00:40:16.280 then they break up the baseball bats. Yeah. Well, I showed you the brick and the stones that were
00:40:22.240 thrown. And I saw that some local Tory in the UK had his office torched with arson.
00:40:27.440 On my interview with Lauren Cunter, Liza writes, I agree with Lauren. As the left moves further
00:40:33.680 left and old yeller persists with her screeching, it will only turn more Canadians off.
00:40:40.520 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, um,
00:40:44.680 simply saying the same message louder and shriller probably won't convince someone who wasn't convinced
00:40:53.000 when you said the same message softly and more respectfully. In fact, I think it will harden
00:40:59.000 them like a boiled egg gets harder with cooking. And, uh, I just think that shouting and laying on
00:41:07.280 the, you're a bigot and laying on your neo-Nazi, all right. I don't think that's going to be
00:41:12.660 persuasive. I don't think that's going to be persuasive. We'll find out in six months, won't we?
00:41:16.040 All right, folks, that's the show. Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rubble
00:41:20.680 Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
