00:00:00.000 I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show. We have a great episode for you
00:00:06.920 folks. We're going to talk about the latest from the Middle East. We'll do a bit of a deep dive
00:00:10.880 with a subject matter expert on what is happening with Israel and Iran. And we're going to talk
00:00:18.580 about some of the unfortunate Canadian elements. We always try to pull out the Canadian elements
00:00:24.460 and talk about how is it relevant to Canada. For me personally, I'm not a fan of war. I don't
00:00:30.860 want to see Canadians or Americans for that matter put into a foreign situation in a foreign
00:00:36.700 war unless it's absolutely necessary. So I'm more cautious about that. But there are some
00:00:41.940 people that take this anti-war rhetoric and mentality way too far and they end up supporting
00:00:47.620 the most evil, awful people on planet Earth. So we're going to talk a little bit about that.
00:00:52.840 But first, I want to just do a quick run through of the G7 and have some final thoughts there.
00:00:58.560 I'm very pleased to introduce our guest today, one of our favorite guests here at The Candice
00:01:02.300 Malcolm Show. I'm talking about David Knight-Lag. David is a former principal advisor to the Premier
00:01:07.460 of Alberta. He now advises firms on energy and finance all over the world. So David, thank
00:01:12.860 you for joining the show. It's great to have you.
00:01:14.560 Great to be here.
00:01:16.200 Let's talk about the G7 because it's sort of, you know, there's a lot of excitement heading
00:01:20.840 into it. I think that Prime Minister Mark Carney has been looking forward to this for a very
00:01:24.780 long time. And President Trump sort of came, made a spectacle of it and left very quickly
00:01:30.200 to go deal with the more pressing matters going on in the world, which we'll get to in a minute.
00:01:35.080 And I just want to throw to some of the journalists' reactions because they reacted just exactly
00:01:40.280 as you would expect. So here is Andrew Coyne writing in the Globe and Mail saying,
00:01:44.600 the G7 is dead. It's time to move on to the G6. So you can assume where that one's going,
00:01:49.820 basically saying that it's time to kick the Americans and Donald Trump out of our club.
00:01:54.660 Next, we have John Iverson over at the National Post, who's usually kind of reasonable and
00:01:58.800 sensible. But he likewise said Trump came to Alberta to bury the G7, not to praise it. He says that the
00:02:04.640 G7 was founded to promote free trade, multilateralism, cooperation, and its predominant
00:02:09.980 member, doesn't advocate for any of those things anymore, and kind of gets to the same conclusion.
00:02:14.660 I would disagree. You know, Donald Trump is quite the character, and he's quite unusual compared to
00:02:19.180 other world leaders. But I think he still has those same principles in mind, right? He actually does
00:02:24.020 want free trade. He just wants fair trade, right? And you're seeing right now how he is interested in
00:02:32.140 promoting an order that doesn't have America at the center, which implies that, yes, you need
00:02:37.360 multilateralism. So I disagree with these, with these takes, but I'm wondering what you made of
00:02:43.300 the G7, David, and what you think of some of these responses from the legacy media.
00:02:49.360 I think, I think Canada has a problem right now, to be honest. And it is that our cultural insecurity
00:02:56.400 as a nation is so transparent at the moment. We're deeply connected to the Chinese Communist Party in that
00:03:05.920 they have candidates running for the Liberal Party that are actually, you know, known to be connected.
00:03:11.860 And yet, we developed an anti-American instinct with this elbows-up approach to how we'd run the
00:03:16.560 election. And that's embarrassing to see the Prime Minister so obviously cravenly kissing up to the US
00:03:24.340 President in ways that were overt. I just put a post on it on Twitter last night. It's already got
00:03:29.580 65,000, 70,000 views, which is unusual for, for me, for posts. I think it speaks to how people feel,
00:03:35.180 where the Canadian, the Canadian instinct that is particularly true in the Liberal Party,
00:03:40.860 to try and define itself by not being American, falls over the cliff when it gets to points that
00:03:47.840 Andrew Cohen, who I like as a person, Josh, who I like as a person. But it falls over a cliff when that
00:03:52.940 insecurity, that cultural insecurity plays out every time the American president ignores us,
00:03:58.140 or pokes fun at the fact that we're appearing to be the 51st state. The reason he's poking fun at the
00:04:04.220 idea of Canada being the 51st state is because the Americans read the papers too. They saw this
00:04:09.260 complete fakery of an elbows-up approach by a guy running for office that had no intention of being
00:04:15.620 elbows-up, had no option of being elbows-up because his own party has undermined the economic
00:04:20.640 and security capabilities of Canada for 10 years. They know that he has no cards to play,
00:04:26.560 and they found it funny and embarrassing that he kept acting like he'd be a tough guy when he dealt
00:04:31.700 with the US president. And of course, during the G7, he was anything but. And previous to the G7,
00:04:37.100 he's been anything but. So I think Canada's got to get some economic and security realism,
00:04:42.200 and that realism is now starting to come from the premiers. Premier Ford yesterday made a point of
00:04:47.760 saying this soft on crime bail policy is enough. You know, he's going to personally do a fundraiser for
00:04:53.840 the guy who shot his gun in the air to scare away mass robbers that were trying to steal his car and
00:04:57.920 potentially break into his house with his wife and kids there. And of course, the criminals get off,
00:05:03.120 they get bail instantly. And the guy who shot the gun into the air is now being charged,
00:05:07.200 criminally charged by the Toronto police. It's outrageous, right? So you've got premiers stepping
00:05:12.460 up and saying the cultural decline of Canada is so overt now that they're taking a stand against it,
00:05:17.720 even though it's not in their remit. You've got Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, standing up
00:05:24.640 and saying, you've got to get on with removing the reckless regulations that have prevented Canada
00:05:30.440 from being a nation being able to stand up for itself. She was doing great work on the diplomacy
00:05:35.380 side in a way that was dignified, unlike the sort of unctuous, craven desperation that seemed to come
00:05:42.500 from the prime minister of the G7. And she was being mocked for it and called a traitor by some,
00:05:47.500 by some quarters, including guys like Andrew Coyne. And I think Canadians increasingly are finding it
00:05:52.100 tiresome. This is a, this is a country that hasn't been able to build anything significant. It's killed
00:05:55.860 off about $600 billion in, in economic projects and infrastructure that would take in our vast
00:06:02.340 resources to global markets, given us a strong hand to play with the Americans and allowed us to have a
00:06:07.820 real seat at the G7 that we earned, not being there simply because we're an economic
00:06:11.840 quality of the USA. So if Andrew Coyne is going to say it should be the G6, the hard thing for Andrew
00:06:17.380 Coyne is going to be to explain to the rest of G7 why Canada should stay at the table, because we're
00:06:22.500 no longer relevant. We are the worst performer in the G7. We're far and away, except for Lichtenstein,
00:06:27.540 the worst performer in the OECD in terms of having a real economy. And that economy is being flattened now
00:06:33.980 that the Americans are saying, look, we want to rebase our, uh, our steel industry, our aluminum
00:06:39.880 industry and our car industry back to the United States. And we're doing that globally. But Canada
00:06:43.900 is so weak that it's one of the countries that even though they're doing that to countries like
00:06:47.480 the UK and Germany, not elsewhere, those countries have enough, uh, depth in their economy to handle
00:06:54.460 it. The only depth in the economy right now is Alberta's energy sector. That's it. That's all
00:06:58.840 that's left for Canada to go global with and some of our ag products. But these guys that pretend to be
00:07:04.700 Canada first are, and you know, Canada's strong, whatever the liberal thing was, where is Andrew
00:07:10.460 Coyne's column on China decimating our canola industry at $45 billion industry? Where is it?
00:07:16.560 Where are the columns on us being tough on Iran and actually addressing Iran and closing down the IRGC?
00:07:23.240 It took us years to name the Iranians as terrorists. Where are the columns saying,
00:07:27.600 where are these IRGC operatives? We know there are 600 of them before,
00:07:31.580 and we haven't actually deposed them yet, right? So, so we've, as a nation, we've got to stop with
00:07:37.620 the cultural insecurity over the United States, the latent anti-Americanism, the sad, desperate
00:07:42.760 cultural inferiority complex that keeps coming up every time we have to deal with these incidents
00:07:49.120 where the dominance of the American president, given the power of their economy and the subservience
00:07:54.340 of the Canadian prime minister become transparent. We had a decade of it with Justin Trudeau.
00:07:59.760 People want Stephen Harper, somebody like him back in the seat.
00:08:03.720 Wow. I couldn't have put it better myself, David. You just really weaved everything together so well
00:08:08.700 there. But yeah, it's like Canadian liberals in the elbow up crowd, they sort of are high on their
00:08:14.140 own supply when it comes to just being snobby and pretending that we're culturally superior to the
00:08:19.340 Americans somehow. When the cold hard truth is that almost everything about our way of life
00:08:24.760 is just solely dependent on the Americans. And someone like Trump comes around and says,
00:08:28.900 you know, enough is enough. We're not going to sit here and allow you to bash us and, you know,
00:08:33.240 win elections off of the back of just like taking shots at your American allies and friends.
00:08:40.060 We're going to give you a little taste of your medicine. And, you know, it's interesting. I will
00:08:43.560 just say, like, I'm almost happy, right? Like, I know that a lot of conservatives are upset
00:08:47.580 that Mark Carney campaigned on this sort of anti-American elbows up theme. We read from Anthony
00:08:52.720 Cox piece in The National Post yesterday. And it was, you know, the idea of seeing Carney at the G7
00:08:58.140 proves that it was all just a lie. It was a total fabrication. Now, I'll just say I'm happy it was
00:09:02.600 a fabrication. I would much rather a leader, at least, you know, when push comes to shove, show up
00:09:08.660 and say, of course, our American relationship is important and we're going to continue it and we're
00:09:12.700 going to push through projects we've seen with the proposed Bill C-5. Again, I know that there's many
00:09:16.700 things to be critical of that. But to me, it shows at least a seriousness now towards the economic
00:09:22.280 picture and nation building. But of course, if someone's willing to lie to you during an election
00:09:26.620 to pull the wool over your eyes and pretend to be something that he totally isn't, apparently,
00:09:30.640 what else is he willing to lie about? And so I try not to be too optimistic because, you know,
00:09:36.380 it might be a sheep in wolf's clothing situation. But I'm just wondering, like, what is your take on
00:09:43.700 Bill C-5 and this sort of new idea behind Mark Carney that maybe the Liberals do want to do some
00:09:49.400 nation building and push aside some of the very, you know, overarching environmental rules that really
00:09:56.740 prohibited building in this country over the last decade?
00:10:00.820 Well, look, you know, I think we've got a stampede coming up in Calgary and there's going to be some
00:10:06.220 great meetings here. I think the Prime Minister is likely to come. I think that the Energy Minister
00:10:11.220 is likely to come. And I think that there's a way to get things done for all Canadians. When Alberta
00:10:18.380 prospers, the whole country prospers, right? I think the other just scientific reality is nothing that
00:10:25.520 the Liberal Party of Canada has done the past decade in the name of climate has had any impact
00:10:30.680 on global emissions. And part of the reason for that is because we're only 1.4% of global emissions.
00:10:37.120 Another reason for that is that their strategy is entirely domestic. They have no strategy for the
00:10:43.500 way that Canada's gas could remove more global emissions, their entire carbon footprint as a nation.
00:10:49.000 And yet their strategy has been to tax, constrain and regulate against the domestic emissions that are
00:10:55.900 produced by the global production of the same resources that reduce global emissions by a
00:11:00.440 factor of 10x, the domestic emissions on the production side. So they have a bankrupt philosophy
00:11:05.940 of the environment. They have a bankrupt philosophy of energy and they have bankrupted the country
00:11:11.020 with a series of bizarre things. They call it investments. When they put $50 billion,
00:11:17.080 the nation does not have, they borrow it. They put that into EV battery plants and the whole
00:11:22.740 amount is burned within two years. It's gone, right? And our kids and our grandkids have to pay back
00:11:30.180 the $50 billion plus the interest. Plus we're supporting one of the fastest growing bureaucracies
00:11:35.680 in the history of the modern West, right? They've basically gone now to close to 22% of all employment
00:11:42.840 in Canada is a bureaucrat. This is insanity. It's totally unsustainable, right? Their plan right now is to
00:11:50.380 print another quarter trillion dollars in debt, another quarter trillion dollars. And they're making
00:11:55.440 promises that they know that we can't bank, we can't keep. It's not just they're printing that much debt
00:12:02.560 and spending all of it instantly. It's that our GDP is the lowest of the 40 nations in the OECD and it's
00:12:09.060 on a trend line that will take us to last place until 2030 and beyond. So the only way you pay back
00:12:16.100 that is to have a viable real economy. And here's the punchline. In Canada today, Alberta had more
00:12:23.840 private sector employment all of last year than the rest of the country combined. No one's even close,
00:12:29.520 right? One province with 14 and a half percent of the population of the nation had more private
00:12:36.180 sector employment than everyone else in the country combined, right? Highest net income, youngest
00:12:41.580 demographics, highest population growth, smartest working age population. Now, by a fact, it didn't
00:12:48.360 used to be this way, right? This is happening very fast. Alberta under conservative policies
00:12:53.080 and conservative approach is not perfect, but under conservative policies and approaches is drawing in
00:12:59.240 global investment capital. It's drawing in like we're establishing data centers. We've got billion
00:13:04.960 dollar deals going on. The Invest Alberta Corporation, which I founded under the premier's office
00:13:11.540 and has now been running for four years under a great leader, Rick Kershantz, has now clocked $27
00:13:18.260 billion in incoming investment and over 30,000 jobs in the province, right? Alberta is taking off
00:13:25.060 and it's being constrained only and primarily by a subset of green alarmists in Ottawa that don't
00:13:31.360 actually have a plan. And the Americans see all of this. Like the Americans weren't blind to what we
00:13:36.900 did, what took place in our election. They watched it all. They thought it was funny. Elbows up is a
00:13:41.700 joke in the United States. It's a joke in DC. They think it's funny. They think it's culturally
00:13:46.340 insecure and kind of sad. They don't see it as a serious nation speaking about serious things in a
00:13:52.180 serious way. Well, because it isn't, right? It's just totally reactionary and it's hollow. It doesn't
00:13:58.120 mean anything as we've learned. Well, this is the problem, I think, with when you get too domestic
00:14:02.920 politically. And this is the problem I think Andrew has in some of the things he's been writing.
00:14:06.480 He thinks that Trump is a cartoonish figure who should be treated with contempt. Okay. It's
00:14:14.680 perspective. The problem is he doesn't level that same degree of sort of sharp-edged analytics on our
00:14:22.000 own political system and on the people that have driven our country into the ground, right? And I
00:14:27.240 don't understand why our press doesn't take a much stronger line on people that are openly,
00:14:32.760 clownishly inept and incompetent at doing fundamental things, right? Where was the analysis
00:14:39.200 on Chrystia Freeland when she was blowing up our public fisk? When she mispriced $420 billion in
00:14:45.140 COVID-era debt in spite of multiple warnings to do that? That is now costing us $55 billion a year in
00:14:51.680 interest payments on a huge chunk of our debt that we knew needed to be priced on long-term debt
00:14:57.500 structures, right? Totally blew it up. Where is the analysis of that stuff? The more that Canada's
00:15:03.060 press stays in the tank for people that they want to have access to and doesn't do their job,
00:15:08.840 the more obvious it becomes to the easier it gets for the current ruling government to continue doing
00:15:14.500 what it's doing, which is terrible for the economy and bad for the country. And the easier it gets for
00:15:19.420 our opponents and adversaries to use us openly. And so I think the Americans, you know, I don't
00:15:25.100 think there's any idea. I think they're trying to be cutesy saying it'll be a G6. I think if there
00:15:29.480 was a G6, Canada would be the first one to lose out because we're the worst economy of the bunch.
00:15:34.280 And I think that we have to start getting more serious about being the nation we should be,
00:15:38.780 standing up for ourselves from a position of strength. The reason that Mark Carney has to cave and do the
00:15:43.840 right thing now is because the cupboard is bare. There is no security strategy for Canada. Our
00:15:50.440 borders are totally open. What everybody used to clutch their pearls at saying, how dare they
00:15:55.220 accuse us of being fentanyl dealers. Now everybody knows we didn't even know how bad the fentanyl
00:16:00.440 problem was until the Americans put their finger on it and called us out on it, right? Chinese triads
00:16:05.960 run the port of Vancouver with fentanyl precursors and with full-on laundering operations for Mexican cartels.
00:16:13.840 It happens in Canada and Canada has rules that federal government are responsible for that
00:16:18.260 mean that we can't wiretap these clowns. We can't get rid of them, right? Canada has rules. It means
00:16:24.480 the IRGC has been completely lost all over this country. So we've got them. We know they're funding
00:16:29.360 Samadun and which is why these terrible Hamas supporting marches are so well organized and scripted.
00:16:37.220 And yet we've lost control. And we just had a, we just had a, I mean, it was stunning to me in the
00:16:42.880 middle of this extraordinary moment with Israel decimating this sick terrorist genocile cabal that
00:16:48.980 runs the great Iranian people and holds them hostage, right? In the middle of all that, what's
00:16:54.420 the news? That the IRGC thugs are looking for a safe haven and where do they want to go?
00:16:59.460 Canada. Because people like Chrystia Freeland and others wouldn't name the IRGC a terror operation.
00:17:05.460 Even when we have, we're not deporting them. And, and we know that, I mean, you mentioned
00:17:10.020 some 600 of them are already in Canada. Like we've seen reports and exposés that there are senior
00:17:15.780 Iranian leaders, like murderous thugs hiding out in suburban homes in Toronto, living the good life.
00:17:22.820 And this all happened under, under Justin Trudeau's lax immigration policy. Like I do want to move on
00:17:29.460 David and talk a little bit about this conflict because it really is something to see the precision
00:17:35.700 that Israel has acted with. So this all started on Friday morning. Israel announced that around 200
00:17:43.060 Israeli air force aircraft had dropped 330 munitions around a hundred targets in total overnight,
00:17:48.420 hitting six cities, including Kiran, as well as a nuclear facility in Natanz. At least reports
00:17:54.660 that at least 20 senior commanders were killed. We're talking about like pinpoint precision here,
00:17:59.220 like, like someone killed on the 17th floor of the building and everyone else in the building,
00:18:04.340 not even really noticing, like the building remaining intact. We, we heard, we heard stories,
00:18:09.540 reports that the chief of staff of Iranians armed forces was killed, senior leaders in the
00:18:15.300 Revolutionary Guards. Um, this was an incredible act of military, uh, offensive and precision. Um,
00:18:23.700 I, I, I want to just, I guess first David, hear your thoughts on, uh, what, what went, went down,
00:18:29.460 what was carried out, uh, how it was planned. And, and, and then I guess we'll move to like,
00:18:34.260 what happens next? I know that, uh, president Trump has called for Iran's unconditional surrender.
00:18:39.700 Yeah. There's a lot of questions about what that means, the surrender of their nuclear program,
00:18:43.860 or are we talking regime change here? So why don't you give us your thoughts on the whole situation?
00:18:49.060 Well, I'm having an argument with a friend of mine, who's a former American intelligence
00:18:53.620 officer about whether it means regime change. He's saying no. And I'm saying it's same thing.
00:18:58.660 Like you can't, you can't destroy the nuclear facilities and the chain of command for the IRGC
00:19:04.820 and remove the Ayatollah and not mean that it's regime, regime change. I'm concerned
00:19:10.180 that the Americans do have a strategy beyond simply destroying the nuclear program, because
00:19:16.180 you don't need a power vacuum in one of the most powerful nations in that region,
00:19:20.180 because it'll be filled by the wrong people. It's not filled by the right people. But I think the,
00:19:24.820 I think the Iranian thugs that currently hold the Iranian people hostage through the IRGC and through the
00:19:30.980 the genocidal terror cabal that the Atola runs made a fatal mistake two weeks ago. They decided to,
00:19:40.660 they basically started to be belligerent about not being told by the Americans what to do and what
00:19:46.500 they could build and what the military sort of limits would be. And then they tested their new missile
00:19:54.580 system and they announced that that test was successful. And that new missile system can
00:19:58.500 deliver 2000 kilogram payload. And so what that showed the Americans and the Israelis was that
00:20:05.700 what the Israelis had said all along was if it's not just the nuclear fissile material and their ability
00:20:12.260 to weaponize it, it's their ability to deliver that weapon, uh, into the downtown Tel Aviv. And that's
00:20:20.100 what we won't tolerate. And so the second that we know that's happening, we're going to attack.
00:20:25.060 And the Americans had put a couple lines in the sand for the Israelis. One was that they gave the
00:20:30.660 Iranians 60 days to negotiate. And two, they tried to ensure that the Iranians had a chance to,
00:20:38.180 you know, walk back a series of things and open up the nuclear program again. Two things happened. One,
00:20:44.100 it became evident that they had another secret program they were hiding throughout the entire
00:20:47.940 negotiation period. And that's now been uncovered two days ago. Second thing is they tested this
00:20:54.260 missile and its ability to deliver a 2000 K payload, which meant that, and the third thing they did was
00:20:59.940 the guy rest in peace that made this point four days ago and is now dead, uh, was the commanding
00:21:06.980 officer of the military is basically the minister of defense for the IRGC. And he made a point of saying,
00:21:12.260 no U S base is safe now that we've got these missiles and death to America, death to Israel,
00:21:18.340 death to the UK. Uh, so the day after that, the American scrambled B2s that have these Moab
00:21:24.820 bunker busting bombs, which can, you know, are, are extraordinary technology. Uh, the Israelis got
00:21:31.620 the green light and began the, what they'd clearly been preparing for, for the last five years,
00:21:36.340 similar to the pager attack, which took five years just to set up the Swiss accounts and the
00:21:40.580 other accounts that were all part of the supply chain that took the Taiwanese gold star pagers,
00:21:45.540 and then, you know, reconfigured them with the plastic explosives, put them through a holding
00:21:50.660 company, sold them by contract into Hezbollah. I mean, Hezbollah pay for their, their own pagers,
00:21:56.420 right? The, uh, the Israelis have been working on taking apart and dissecting the Iranian nuclear
00:22:03.700 program and destroying the Iranian chain of command. Um, Canada should be celebrating, you know,
00:22:09.460 the extraordinary thing is that the, the sadistic thug that shot down that plane with 55 Canadians on
00:22:16.260 it was assassinated in the first couple hours. Where was the, where was Anita Anand on that,
00:22:23.060 right? All I heard from our federal politicians was they worried about escalation. This is not
00:22:29.460 escalation. This is the total destruction of the Iranian IRGC thuggery that killed 55 Canadians.
00:22:36.340 But at least somehow in one attack, they killed one Canadians. I mean, the, the, the true horror that
00:22:43.620 happens in Iran and I'm someone who's, you know, been following the Iranian situation my entire career,
00:22:50.260 basically. I mean, just the absolute sadistic way that this government is run the, the, the way that,
00:22:58.020 you know, they put, they put children on death row in Iran, right? Like we're talking about next level,
00:23:04.180 uh, types of, of tyranny here. And like every person who cares about human rights in the world
00:23:10.180 should be celebrating right now. And, and, and, and it's, it's amazing what Israel has, has managed
00:23:15.220 to do. I mean, we're reading about, uh, the, the technology, like they had drones being launched
00:23:20.100 from inside Iran. So, you know, you're talking about the pager attack that took five years of making,
00:23:24.420 who knows how long they've been laying the groundwork, um, to, to launch this sorts of attack. But
00:23:29.060 you're, you're right, David, and sorry to cut you off, but I mean, from a Canadian perspective,
00:23:34.820 right? That just, just a sheer number of, of Iranians who have fled and live in Canada,
00:23:39.540 right? The diaspora community here and, and looking and talking to people from that community
00:23:43.940 who are actually celebrating and happy right now and hopeful that maybe it means that they'll have
00:23:47.860 a future where, where they can possibly go back and visit their country, or at least, you know,
00:23:52.660 that their relatives may be safe. Obviously we're concerned right now about escalation and what this will
00:23:57.060 turn into. And I'm wondering your thoughts on, on, on Trump's comments about, um, you know,
00:24:02.420 unconditional surrender, whether, whether you do think that regime changes is going to happen.
00:24:07.060 I mean, maybe it's already happening. I, you know, you wipe out an entire leadership class
00:24:11.540 of the military. It's like, well, who's, who's running things at this point? Um, it is quite
00:24:15.620 interesting. And then I want to bring it back as well, because what we have seen of Canada so far
00:24:21.140 is just truly embarrassing, right? I'm talking about CUPE Ontario sponsoring a quote,
00:24:26.660 hands off Iran Raleigh, um, outside the U S consulate this Sunday. So the Ontario chapter
00:24:31.300 of the Canadian union of public employees is sponsoring a demonstration outside the American
00:24:35.140 consulate. It's a protest support of Israel amid the ongoing effort to destroy Iran's nuclear
00:24:40.500 facilities. The poster Sundays to Sunday's event reads hands off Iran in all caps and list nearly a
00:24:45.700 dozen sponsoring organizations, including some organizations that were supportive of the October
00:24:51.380 7th Hamas attack on Israel. The poster was published on Instagram by the Palestinian youth
00:24:56.340 movement. And then they sort of later had to like kind of clarify that, yes, they're going to this
00:25:02.820 war, uh, route, this rally is really an anti-war rally. Um, and the earlier poster circulated was
00:25:08.740 unapproved or whatever, but I mean, still the idea that you'd have Canadian unions saying hands off
00:25:14.020 Iran as if like somehow Iran is our ally and, and that, uh, you know, we care about the lives of the
00:25:20.500 ruthless dictators who murder their own people and have murdered countless Canadians over the years.
00:25:24.660 Like I, I think these people may have lost the plot here. What do you think?
00:25:28.820 Yeah, a hundred percent. I mean, look to your point, there are 9 million Iranians living outside
00:25:33.540 Iran right now, and almost all of them are part of the most successful diaspora there is, you know,
00:25:39.620 they're extraordinarily successful people. Um, they're desperate to see their country back
00:25:44.740 to a point of freedom. The Iranian revolution happened in 79 after hard left Marxist communists
00:25:52.100 got together with hard stone age Islamist Wahhabists. You can't make it up. And they did that on the
00:25:59.540 university campuses, which is why the oddness of when you hear about what took place was like
00:26:04.420 university students stormed the U S embassy. Those were not university students, right? Those
00:26:09.380 were hard left activists motivated by a deep and unusual, uh, Islamic socialism that ended up taking
00:26:17.780 hold in Libya as well. And that's part of what we're up against. So oddly, when you see these other hard
00:26:22.900 left groups, uh, overseas take the side of a blood soaked terrorist, genocidal stone aged Islamist cabal. And you
00:26:34.340 say, what, what does a weirdo like Fred Hahn, who's all about trans rights doing in bed with and
00:26:40.980 supporting and, and taking hostage a Canadian public union employees budget to fund something as
00:26:48.980 sickening as support for one of the world's worst genocidal regimes. What's going on? Well, it's got
00:26:54.020 deep roots. It's in the deep roots. Very oddly are a connection between the very hard left socialist
00:27:00.660 communists in Iran back in the day when it was free and you could have those viewpoints.
00:27:05.300 Right. And the stone age will hobbyist Islamist terrorists. And they got together because they
00:27:10.900 realized that the Shah had complete control and they were able to basically make it all about
00:27:17.300 egalitarianism and which the Islamists were happy to sort of like get along and go along with guys like
00:27:23.300 Fred Hahn until they weren't useful anymore. Now guys like Fred Hahn would be the first one shot dead
00:27:27.460 in Tehran. So the irony of, uh, of all that doesn't dispel the obvious sick and grotesque abuse
00:27:39.540 of the funds of union employees by this clown car act, Fred Hahn, who can't seem to find anything
00:27:47.060 disgusting enough to support openly with other people's money that he's actually supporting Iran
00:27:53.220 right now. And we have a federal government that allows clowns like this to get away with it. He
00:27:56.820 should be called out and forced to account for this abusive, uh, use of, you know, the money of
00:28:03.860 his union members. My grandfather was a union steward back in the day in England and was a very tough guy.
00:28:09.060 And he was part of the Morris cars in Oxford. And back in the day unions used to stand for something,
00:28:15.380 but primarily what they stood for was taking care of the families of their members, taking care of their
00:28:20.900 members, making sure there were fair contracts, making sure what was fair was understood.
00:28:25.700 This public sector union situation in Canada has, has become filled with arrogant people that want
00:28:30.980 to work from home that aren't funded by actual tax dollars. They're funded by debt and it's got to be
00:28:37.380 cut back and it's got to start with it. They have so much money and time on their hands that they're able
00:28:41.620 to allow themselves to use other people's money for projects like this sick, disgusting, supportive person.
00:28:48.660 I've got, I've got one more for you because I think, uh, Fred might have been out done here.
00:28:53.380 We had a pro Palestine event in Victoria, British Columbia over the weekend, and there was footage
00:28:58.020 that circulated of a Palestinian woman named Fatih Elred gleefully telling people who were,
00:29:04.180 I guess, counter protesters, um, that Iran will kill you. Uh, let's play this clip.
00:29:09.220 Free Palestine! Iran will kill you all! Yeah, from Hamas. If you care about the Palestinians from Hamas.
00:29:19.460 Did you just say Iran will kill us?
00:29:21.220 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. What do you want? You want to do, huh?
00:29:26.020 You see the sort of delirious response there, but I, I, I do think a lot of the pro-Palestinian
00:29:32.580 types. I mean, they, they just have a disdain, you know, just say it for, for, for Jewish people.
00:29:36.980 And so they see Iran and, you know, to make a comment like that and say like, don't worry,
00:29:41.540 Iran will kill you. Like, like that's, that's what she wants to happen. She, she, it seems to me
00:29:46.020 that she would be happy, um, in a world where America was not the global superpower, but Iran was,
00:29:51.700 as sickening as that is. And the way that she sort of says it ghoulishly, um, it's quite sick.
00:29:56.820 Uh, David, I'm going to hold your response because we have a couple more of these examples, right? You,
00:30:00.740 you said if Fred Hahn were to go to Palestine, he'd be the first one that they would, uh, shoot
00:30:04.500 dead or maybe Iran. Uh, we also have Greta Thunberg, um, who, who decided to go on a freedom flotilla,
00:30:11.060 flotilla down to Gaza, um, only to be intercepted by Israel. Like, I can't imagine, you know, she,
00:30:17.220 she's literally seen in a boat, um, and they were intercepted. She's wearing a tank top. I wonder like,
00:30:22.180 how would they treat a, uh, you know, a blonde Swedish girl who shows up in Gaza wearing a tank top,
00:30:28.180 right? Like this is, uh, this is the Israeli foreign ministry. They, they put out a funny
00:30:32.500 tweet and we'll get to this. And I want to talk about a Canadian group, a group of 100 Canadians
00:30:38.500 who have been detained in Egypt. They went there to protest Israel. I don't know why they would show
00:30:44.420 up in Cairo, in Egypt, thinking that it's a Western liberal democracy, that they have the right to just
00:30:49.380 like protest and condemn the Egyptian government as if they were in Canada. Um, pretty amusing, uh,
00:30:55.620 headline here from Tristan Hopper over at the national post, anti-Israeli activists beg their
00:31:00.420 genocidal government for rescue. Yeah. Because what happens when you get detained in a foreign country,
00:31:05.300 you have to turn around and beg Canada to help you. So we're going to get to those stories and a few
00:31:09.220 more folks, but I'm going to encourage you to head on over to junonews.com. We're going to cut off the
00:31:14.580 YouTube and the ex live stream here and head on over, support Juno news, become a premium subscriber
00:31:19.780 and catch the rest of the conversation over on that side.
