00:00:00.000 hi I'm Candace Malcolm and this is the Candace Malcolm show so on Sunday we saw this explosive
00:00:08.280 interview given by FBI director cash Patel and he talks about Canada he's on Fox News and all
00:00:14.520 of a sudden the conversation goes to Canada and I wanted to save this topic to talk to with this
00:00:21.660 guest today Sam Cooper because Sam he is the creator of the Bureau and Canada's top investigative
00:00:27.120 journalists I think cash Patel may be reading your articles and reading your reports because
00:00:32.520 when I heard him say this and I saw these videos circulating I thought this is what Sam has been
00:00:37.140 ringing the alarm about for months if not longer so I guess we'll play the clip in a second Sam but
00:00:44.040 just tell me what was your reaction when you saw cash Patel the FBI director making these claims
00:00:48.780 well my reaction was I as I've been talking to senior US intelligence experts in the recent months
00:00:56.700 I don't know if it's by their design I don't think so I think that they've reached out to me because
00:01:02.520 they say I'm the North American subject expert on these threats that are endangering the United
00:01:08.640 States and Canada they've been telling me that there was an Iranian state connection a Chinese
00:01:14.880 sanctioned precursor supplier entity and Mexican cartels connected to that Falkland super lab
00:01:22.620 I've also been reporting in the past year as you know about Canada Border Services Agency's
00:01:28.560 whistleblower saying that Canada is being exploited by people that are using the Vancouver ports and
00:01:35.640 this is again Iranian Mexican and Chinese apparently state actors that may have penetrated Canada's
00:01:44.640 systems and that you know this would be a concern to the US government so yes when I saw cash Patel
00:01:50.640 say this is what the US government is concerned about and the US has been working with Mexican
00:01:58.260 authorities to crack down on the southern border and this will not only send an impetus or rather
00:02:04.260 this will cause the Mexican cartels to set up more strongly in Canada and that Canada has not been
00:02:10.620 cooperating look that's what cash Patel said and that's what I've been reporting for the past few
00:02:15.840 months so I don't know if it's him reading my reports or that we are talking to people with
00:02:21.180 the same intelligence I think that probably the latter well it tells me that you are hitting the
00:02:26.700 nail on the head that you have you know you're over the target and here is your report on the bureau
00:02:31.620 breaking explosive FBI warning CCP Iran and Mex cartels partnering in Canada to move fentanyl and
00:02:38.520 the United States and then you write that cash Patel's warning echoes the bureau's exclusive
00:02:43.500 reporting on criminal convergence linking Chinese backed chemical suppliers Iranian proxies and Mexican
00:02:48.960 cartels operating through Vancouver's super labs really it sounds like the plot of a Hollywood film
00:02:55.020 it's just like unbelievable that this is happening under our nose and it's not like we have no idea
00:02:59.820 that it's happening obviously you've been reporting on it and so it's just like I don't know if the
00:03:03.900 authorities are asleep at the switch or somehow they're in on it or if they would just rather
00:03:08.340 ignore it but I do want to play first we'll play this clip of FBI director cash Patel so he's speaking
00:03:14.460 on Fox News's evening report with Maria Bartramo apologies if I pronounced saying correctly and he is
00:03:22.560 specifically talking about how they've sealed the southern border the southern border is secure but that
00:03:27.360 the fentanyl is still flowing from Canada let's play that clip in the first two three months that we've
00:03:32.640 been in the seat under Donald Trump's administration he has sealed the border he has stopped border
00:03:36.600 crossings so where's all the fentanyl coming from still where's the trafficking coming from still
00:03:40.440 where is all where are all the narco traffickers going to keep bringing this stuff into the country
00:03:46.800 the northern border our adversaries have partnered up with the CCP and others Russia Iran on a variety
00:03:54.660 of different criminal enterprises and they're going and they're sailing around to Vancouver and coming in
00:03:59.600 by air now Sam I've had you on my show many times I think that you've said that verbatim on my show
00:04:06.140 maybe two months ago about those Vancouver ports and so I mean walk us through that absolutely uh that
00:04:13.580 that's what I got from uh director Patel's statement I had reported previously again a CBSA whistleblower
00:04:20.540 said that uh there was a massive amount of stolen passports I believe it was connected to Russia's
00:04:28.040 invasion of Ukraine years ago and it looked and and Canada's government knew that many of those
00:04:35.000 stolen passports were used by threat actors to enter Vancouver's port I had also told you that
00:04:41.060 Vancouver's port uh is wide open to fentanyl precursors coming in something like only one
00:04:48.500 percent of the containers that come into Vancouver's port this is the fourth busiest in North America
00:04:54.440 are searched and on top of that I had reported the the documented concern it's been known for years
00:05:01.640 that Chinese organized crime actors with connections to Chinese military entities of the same type that
00:05:09.740 are operative in Panama have significant activity in Vancouver's port along with Iranian threat actors
00:05:17.180 and of course the local Hells Angels are in the mix there too so it's almost a surreal feeling uh or or
00:05:26.120 sense that we now have the director of the top counterintelligence agency coming out overtly and
00:05:32.300 saying the exact same things I'm reporting and Candace I would add another major story I broke was uh you'll
00:05:39.320 remember the Danforth shooting of 2018 there were indications that there could be terror links but the
00:05:46.280 Toronto Police and Ralph Goodale Trudeau's public safety minister said those uh indications were were
00:05:52.580 false not supported hold on a second I reported based on a senior former DEA investigator that told me
00:05:59.720 the American government did not buy that conclusion they found concerning links between the shooter in
00:06:06.980 Toronto and a major car fentanyl seizure in a nearby suburb brother right I remember the story it's a deep
00:06:14.780 story his brother uh went into a coma from handling car fentanyl 40 kilograms were seized in a Toronto
00:06:21.980 suburb largest seizure of car fentanyl ever American authorities wanted just a couple of grams to search
00:06:29.420 it to see you know they were concerned could this be a weapon of mass destruction could there be a terror
00:06:34.940 link they found a linkage to Pakistan that concerned them the RCMP completely shut them down would not
00:06:41.180 share a single gram of that that seizure and so what does that point to it I'm told that the US government
00:06:48.380 said of course there was a Chinese supplier involved and there could be a Pakistani threat network and the
00:06:55.180 Canadian government would not cooperate with the US government so this in my view when I was hearing Kash Patel I
00:07:01.980 almost heard that case resonating without being said well if we could just take a minute to double click on that because I was
00:07:09.180 writing and reporting with the Toronto Sun at that time Sam and I recall I mean it's been several years
00:07:15.100 now since I refreshed my memory on the case but I do remember a police report where they went in and they
00:07:19.820 interviewed the parents and the two parents of this young man who they claim was mentally ill even though
00:07:26.540 he was working a job at a local supermarket so he wasn't like severely mentally ill like the legacy media
00:07:33.180 pretended that he was but basically his parents were both interviewed and they were interviewed
00:07:40.780 separately and their answers contradicted each other they were asked whether he had spent time
00:07:45.820 in Pakistan and I believe his father said yes and his mother said no he's never been to Pakistan
00:07:50.780 and then it turned out that he you know he attended a radical mosque in Toronto he had gone to Pakistan
00:07:56.620 he had there was a lot of very disturbing things that the police just refused to look into the legacy media
00:08:03.660 decided um that they were the victims of the Danforth shooting the family and that we had to rally around
00:08:08.540 the family of the terrorist and that we couldn't call him a terrorist and I remember the point I've never
00:08:13.020 disclosed this before but the Toronto Star the Toronto Sun my employer at the time would not let me report on it anymore
00:08:18.060 because they didn't want me to go down this rabbit hole they were worried about getting sued
00:08:21.100 and basically they just said Joe Warrington's covering the story no one else can write about it
00:08:24.940 and I was banned from writing about the story um even though I think it was a huge public interest
00:08:29.100 I think that the police were misleading the public and the legacy media were absolutely complicit in it all
00:08:34.940 I'm happy to dive into this with you Candace because I didn't cover it at the time but it did strike me that
00:08:42.140 there were some very concerning indications people were not even focused on the fentanyl issue at the time
00:08:47.900 but come on 33 uh restricted weapons 40 kilograms of car fentanyl 100 times more powerful powerful than
00:08:56.220 fentanyl and you're right the media it seemed came up with the idea that the families were the victims
00:09:03.500 there and so this is what struck me when a DEA source we're talking a person that's uh investigated
00:09:10.300 everyone from terrorists to uh El Chapo reached out and said Sam at the bureau you've been hitting the
00:09:17.420 nail on the head in ways that we cannot speak of because this is classified information the dots
00:09:24.060 you're connecting on the chinese communist party and uh international threat works are exactly true
00:09:31.100 and he told me he was very bothered he pushed uh through the pentagon and u.s intelligence agencies
00:09:37.580 to get more cooperation from the rcmp on that case and as he told me multiple times the u.s government was
00:09:45.420 shut down by high level bureaucrats in ottawa other shocking findings they said they found food dye
00:09:52.060 that is the local police at least shared some photos of that seizure and this led the DEA to believe
00:09:58.940 this product could have been you know parceled out for mass trafficking to young people and yet we never
00:10:04.780 read that in the canadian media another major point i pressed my source donald m people can look him up
00:10:11.980 he's an extremely high level investigator with the DEA he's worked u.s military intelligence he said sam
00:10:19.260 we found links in pakistan that are extremely concerning i said link to terror he said i won't
00:10:26.300 tell you any more than it was extremely concerning indirect links to terror i'm not sure if anyone is
00:10:33.900 happy that i've reported this but look uh after i broke that story candace i can share this with you as
00:10:41.020 a little bit of news nugget a canadian intelligence source reached out to me and said you are right
00:10:46.780 there was an isis link to that whole case and it was covered up the prosecutors didn't want to go
00:10:53.420 after it i'm not sure if that's a headline i haven't reported it yet but since you have background
00:10:58.620 on the story i think it's uh fair and the the right time for me to share it with you there's a lot more
00:11:04.620 to this story and i was told that of course we don't know what was brought up in the white house with
00:11:10.220 mark carney melanie joly and dominic leblanc and uh our public's then public safety minister
00:11:17.820 uh mr mcginty and jd vance and president trump but i was told that car fentanyl case
00:11:23.740 may have come up i don't know if it did but i'm told certainly it's of concern well it's very
00:11:29.420 interesting and just in case the audience uh doesn't quite remember this was a horrific shooting
00:11:34.620 that happened back in 2018 on the danforth which is a popular street in basically adjacent to
00:11:39.980 downtown toronto it's known as greek town and a mentally deranged person came and shot and it
00:11:44.940 seemed like he was aiming at girls i think there were two young girls that ended up dying from this
00:11:49.500 and it came out like a day or two later that the shooter uh the a family spokesperson came out first
00:11:56.700 of all this family spokesperson was a known like ndp operative and he came out and said that the shooter
00:12:02.060 was mentally ill he was deceased that he was mentally ill and that it wasn't terrorism it
00:12:07.340 was just mental illness and the legacy media just bought that like hook line and sinker and then
00:12:11.500 after that it was like no one can talk about this or you are a racist bigot who's islamophobic and
00:12:17.100 again at the time i was with toronto sun look joe warmington is one of the best reporters in canada
00:12:21.020 and he did a great job covering this uh but the fact that my newspaper didn't want me to be talking
00:12:25.980 about this issue at all they basically banned me from writing about it and the more that i was digging i
00:12:30.380 was also in communication uh with people in the scene people who uh were even relatives of these
00:12:36.060 poor young girls that lost their lives um and people weren't buying what was being sold but it
00:12:41.740 was you know all working together the police chief um said none of this islamophobic stuff like anyone
00:12:46.140 even asking questions about the ties to radical islam that was you know that we're talking about
00:12:51.100 near the height um of isis in the syrian refugee crisis and all that kind of stuff happening
00:12:57.100 um and we were just told to stop talking about it and move on and it was shocking to see legacy
00:13:01.660 media just go along with that i'm so pleased that you kept digging on it because i i did for a while
00:13:07.020 and then i stopped but i agree that there is a lot more to that story um and i'm glad you brought up
00:13:12.380 the oval office exchange as well because i found this quite interesting right during the election
00:13:17.500 campaign mark carney didn't really talk about fentanyl he didn't really talk about the border he kind
00:13:22.380 of ignored donald trump's prodding on this issue actually we have a clip first i'll show this one this is
00:13:26.220 from february 12th 2025 when mark carney is sort of new to the scene and he says that canada does
00:13:31.820 not have a fentanyl crisis let's play this clip fentanyl is an absolute crisis in the united states
00:13:38.380 it's a challenge here but it's a crisis there so totally different uh tone from mark carney after
00:13:44.460 he wins the election this is him in that oval office meeting that you just mentioned with president
00:13:48.940 trump and jd vance and others on may 6th and here prime minister carney is thanking donald trump for
00:13:55.340 his leadership and saying that canada is also focused on cleaning up our border and cleaning
00:13:59.260 up our fentanyl issue let's play that clip thank you for your hospitality and above all for for your
00:14:04.940 leadership you're a you're a transformational president uh focus on the economy with a relentless
00:14:10.620 focus on the american worker uh securing your borders um providing ending the scourge of fentanyl
00:14:17.180 uh and other opioids and uh and securing the world and i've been elected uh with uh with my colleagues
00:14:24.460 here with the help of my colleagues here i'm going to spread spread the uh the credit uh to transform
00:14:31.100 canada um with a similar focus on the economy securing our borders uh again on fentanyl uh much greater focus
00:14:38.780 on defense and security securing the arctic and developing the arctic um and you know the history of
00:14:44.540 canada and the us is we're stronger when we work together and there's many opportunities to work
00:14:48.700 together and i look forward to you know addressing some of those issues that we have but also uh
00:14:53.660 finding those areas of mutual cooperation so we can so sam what did you make of mark carney's sort
00:14:59.420 of reversal all of a sudden he's praising trump and saying that fentanyl is a big issue after denying it
00:15:03.900 and i i really didn't hear him talk about that much on the campaign trail at all it's really a stunning
00:15:09.020 clip because the pretty much every word that mark carney said would be something that the bureau would
00:15:15.500 have written about and uh in in many podcasts i would have advocated this is the stance canada needs
00:15:22.140 to take or else our sovereignty is in deep danger we need to acknowledge to the united states that canada
00:15:29.660 is a big part of the solution here and you know we we uh we need to step up to the plate so essentially
00:15:37.660 you know uh if that was mark carney's real intention i'd be very happy in fact i would have thought
00:15:45.500 that pierre polyev and the conservatives that was more their campaign message which mark carney just
00:15:51.900 reflected and as i'm you know uh i have a long career in the canadian media i i would call myself a
00:15:58.780 good analyst of their coverage i found that mark carney his prime minister's office operatives and the media
00:16:06.460 that are very friendly with them had the exact opposite of the narrative that he had just
00:16:11.740 said to donald trump in that meeting and that was to deny that canada is a big problem on fentanyl
00:16:17.820 to say that the u.s is unfairly targeting us and essentially you know uh to use the vernacular big
00:16:25.020 orange man bad canada good why why is he picking on us so i just think you know really my thoughts are that
00:16:32.300 that that that raises the theme that what we're hearing from mark carney uh what what comes out
00:16:38.220 about his private phone call to president trump beforehand telling him you're a transformative
00:16:44.300 president i'm going to be hitting you during the campaign but don't worry that's just kind of a
00:16:49.180 that's just for the public look i think that's what's happening and that's what that's what's
00:16:53.260 reflected in that those white house comments okay but i i am curious about the action on this right
00:16:59.340 so you have carney in the white house sort of saying to trump what trump wants to hear
00:17:04.220 and then two weeks later you have president trump's fbi director cash patel that trump
00:17:09.500 individually selected um coming out and saying it's happening it's happening in your country
00:17:14.380 all of our adversaries are working together through this port of vancouver like do you think that mark
00:17:19.580 carney will take action and it's an interesting thing that's happening right like under the trudeau
00:17:24.700 government the last decade the uh bureaucracy has grown significantly right it's not like they
00:17:29.580 have reservations about hiring new government agents right why don't they have more people
00:17:35.180 monitoring these ports of vancouver why is it just one percent i mean even after sort of publicly getting
00:17:41.180 humiliated in some ways like the fbi director calling us out saying we know what's happening it's
00:17:45.740 happening right here guys like get your act together um do you think that mark carney will actually
00:17:49.660 take some action here and start cracking down on this i think it will take tremendous and increased
00:17:56.940 pressure from the united states uh it's a very complex subject but if i am extremely brutally honest
00:18:05.340 i don't think the canadian government will take action unless forced even harder by washington why do
00:18:13.020 i say that i've been told by senior u.s government sources that for years in private meetings with
00:18:19.340 elite canadian officials of the type that you know could include bill blair you know dominic leblanc
00:18:26.780 senior rcmp you know commissioner level uh the u.s government brings up concerns that mexican
00:18:33.500 cartels have been growing in canada since the trudeau government removed visa requirements
00:18:39.340 and uh the u.s government was met with denials and met with sort of polite canadian handshaking
00:18:45.500 we'll get on it and nothing happens and so when you saw the tariff threats and you see something
00:18:51.420 like a billion dollars the figure was raised in terms of beefing up canada's border patrol
00:18:56.780 uh buying some helicopters again i just think this is press releases uh and sort of you know
00:19:04.380 indications of action that doesn't really lead to results why do i say that in order to really crack
00:19:10.860 down on chinese communist party uh operatives which my sources indicate use canada as command and
00:19:18.700 control for the western hemisphere uh in many ways and the mexican cartels and iranian threat networks
00:19:25.980 that i'm saying are strongly set up in canadian cities canada would have to reform its criminal act
00:19:32.780 and get a sort of an anti-racketeering law we need to beef up our foreign interference laws we need to
00:19:39.340 as i've written port police were taken out of the vancouver port jean christian's government was
00:19:44.940 warned 20 years ago by an association of police chiefs saying we've got a major vulnerability
00:19:50.620 chinese organized crime and intelligence is taking over in the vancouver port and nothing was changed
00:19:56.060 so those are i would say three action items that if mark carney was really serious he could come out
00:20:02.460 on uh you know in a big press conference next week and say we're doing this this and this he could do one
00:20:08.380 of his uh sort of fake executive orders finding executive orders and saying we're getting a
00:20:14.780 racketeering law he'd really have to put it through parliament but i would applaud that theater if he
00:20:20.060 did it because it would show he's really gonna act right now i'm sorry to say i just see the the usual
00:20:25.420 liberal sort of nicety pleasant words and kicking the can i don't think that they want to they will
00:20:31.260 crack down on this unless extreme pressure continues to be brought on them well 100 and they have their
00:20:37.900 cheerleaders in the legacy media covering it up i've talked to you about this before but i just want
00:20:42.140 to remind viewers of this one so the globe and mail was out there among many other publications this is
00:20:47.740 just one that we took um after president trump said that he was concerned about fentanyl coming in from
00:20:52.140 canada here's a global mail headline the u.s is the real source of fentanyl the fentanyl crisis not canada
00:20:58.700 and then basically in the article this is written by journalist marcus g he writes that the rcmp sees no
00:21:05.900 evidence of this the claim that the united states is being flooded with fentanyl from canada says the
00:21:10.220 rcmp sees no evidence of it nor do other experts in drug trafficking alberta says if there is a flood
00:21:16.460 it is flowing in the opposite direction and so then this narrative came up this was from march
00:21:21.740 2025 and basically the idea was that no no canada is not a problem at all um and the global mail and
00:21:28.060 others perpetuating this idea to sort of cover for the liberals saying no no they didn't create the
00:21:31.900 problem the americans are lying and the americans are the problem well sam i don't know if you saw
00:21:36.540 our report we did an analysis of every single story during the election and uh sense if there
00:21:41.420 was a bias one way or another and we found that the globe and mail was the worst perpetrator of the pro
00:21:46.860 carny anti-polio bias even worse than the cbc and so um stories like this from the global mail
00:21:52.060 don't really surprise me at this point but what do you make of that yeah i'm glad that you've kind
00:21:56.220 of systematically documented that i i in an anecdotal way of course i read the big stories i follow their
00:22:03.180 big columnists and you know i was in that coverage i was reminded of you know in 2015 when i was breaking
00:22:10.780 the news at at the vancouver province that chinese based buyers were essentially becoming a major force
00:22:19.900 in the city's real estate the global mail came out with a story called the myth of the chinese
00:22:24.620 buyer a big headline and so it just fit into that narrative no not happening here you know uh why
00:22:32.220 do they do it i don't know if it's kind of uh progressive leaning reporters i don't know if they
00:22:37.180 get pressure from editors uh but i do know that you know the people writing these columns that canada
00:22:45.100 doesn't have a big fentanyl problem are not subject matter experts as i am they're not sourced
00:22:51.340 in policing military and intelligence north america they're political reporters so it just makes sense
00:22:58.700 that they buy sort of in my experience and analysis when the prime minister's office wants to get a
00:23:04.860 narrative out you know it'll send someone out to have a coffee or a wine with a big reporter at the cbc
00:23:11.180 and the globe and mail and then that'll lead to i've become cynical now you'll see a front page
00:23:16.380 global mail story you know what what i call pmo talking notes not to say that the global mail
00:23:22.780 won't do some stories critical of prime ministers there's sort of a frenemy relationship there at
00:23:28.860 times but i've become very jaded in terms of believing at this point you know some of our major
00:23:35.100 journalists in ottawa well good we all should be and i think that's why judo news and the bureau exist
00:23:39.980 because we're filling a need i want to play one more clip of cash patel for you here sam this one
00:23:45.420 is talking about terrorists known and suspected terrorists crossing into the united states
00:23:51.020 illegally from canada let's play this clip over 300 known or suspected terrorists crossed into this
00:23:56.140 country last year illegally known or suspected terrorists not illegals not just illegals known
00:24:01.100 or suspected terrorists 85 of them came in through the northern border this year a hundred known or
00:24:09.100 suspected terrorists have crossed into this country illegally 64 or south and north so this is
00:24:15.100 something that i've reported on uh for a long time so just back in november 2024 i was actually still
00:24:20.540 maternity leave but i got these statistics and so i published in true north let me just read what i
00:24:24.860 wrote back in november i write that five times more terrorists are coming from canada canada is
00:24:30.300 legitimately more of a threat to the united states national security than mexico according to data from
00:24:35.100 u.s customs and border protection since 2022 1 155 individuals on terror watch lists were caught
00:24:41.980 trying to enter the united states through its northern border compared to just 199 from the south
00:24:47.180 yes you read that correctly five times as many terrorists entered the united states through canada
00:24:51.340 than through mexico since 2022 and what were those 1 155 terrorists doing in canada in the first place
00:24:58.220 how did they get here and how many more remain and i asked a question of true die so this is one of
00:25:03.180 the uh things that he must answer for with his colossal failure of national security and immigration and then
00:25:09.340 sam just this week we heard another story of an isis man in canada this is a man pleads guilty after
00:25:15.260 raising funds for isis under the guise of gaza donations a toronto man is pleaded guilty to terrorism
00:25:21.580 charges after again just you know pretending to raise money for victims for aid victims in gaza but
00:25:27.660 actually funneling the money to isis like how on earth this is happening in canada still right we were just
00:25:34.060 talking about the danforth shooter and at that time there were a lot of concerns of isis fighters uh
00:25:39.660 fleeing syria likely like people who had gone over to fight over there and then just kind of snuck back
00:25:44.460 into canada and try to pretend that nothing ever happened and the canadian authorities were aware of
00:25:49.180 these individuals uh but many cases just allowed them to like return back to their previous lives without
00:25:56.060 any punishment and it seems like it's still happening it's so unbelievable um what do you make of all this
00:26:01.500 yeah you're exactly right for the bureau i've been reporting uh for two years now partly one of my
00:26:07.820 big files was uh there was a major uh compromise of passports in hong kong in the 1990s what was
00:26:16.460 revealed according to a whistleblower brian mccadam was that chinese organized crime and intelligence
00:26:22.060 had penetrated canada's high commission there were concerns that officials canadian officials corrupted
00:26:29.100 passports stolen files of very serious uh people from organized crime altered to allow them to enter
00:26:37.180 canada and so this has been going on for decades uh mr mccadam's uh warnings were ignored uh it it all
00:26:45.900 leads to circling back to cash patel's comments uh i've reported that this convergence of chinese
00:26:52.780 organized crime which is very close and sponsored by the chinese communist party intelligence arms
00:26:59.180 works together with latin american organized crime on smuggling across borders on uh on getting stolen
00:27:06.860 passports to route people uh let's just say the highest bidders from criminal networks terror networks
00:27:15.420 human smugglers know where to go to get passports to enter canada because we're a weak spot and beyond
00:27:22.940 that as my cbsa whistleblower alleged there have been compromises within canada's border services
00:27:30.620 agency and other agencies of these very same transnational organized crime groups so why is cash
00:27:38.460 patel saying canada's northern border is a bigger threat for terrorists coming across
00:27:43.100 exactly what i've been reporting on these stunning hard to believe believe criminal convergences that
00:27:48.940 have infiltrated canada's systems well it's a long a long-standing problem right like this dates back to
00:27:55.980 pre-9-11 uh there's a woman named yasmin muhammad and she's an incredible story um she's a podcaster and
00:28:02.220 journalist based on british columbia and she was the wife of a mastermind in the 9-11 attacks and
00:28:10.780 she moved to canada in the 90s unbeknownst to her that her husband was this crazy terrorist that was
00:28:15.820 planning this awful attack and basically she found out who he was um by like us cia officials coming
00:28:24.700 to her house um and she got out of a very bad situation she turned her life around now and helps
00:28:30.380 other people that are stuck in sort of like crazy radicalized families and communities um come out but
00:28:37.180 you know even even the story of omar qatar right like his father also came to canada and he was
00:28:42.860 also you know high up in al-qaeda friends with osama bin laden like it's unbelievable that canada has
00:28:49.980 long been this like playing ground for radical islamist terrorists and others and it's still
00:28:56.060 happening and we haven't figured out a way to stop it or crack down on it i mean i i i i'm sorry that it
00:29:01.820 takes the americans coming in and saying you have a major problem but like it's just unbelievable that
00:29:06.940 canada um continues to allow this stuff to happen largely i think a cultural issue and i believe
00:29:14.460 also a political corruption issue at the end of the day interesting well sam cooper thank you so much for
