00:03:26.080Ew. Seeing this helped me get over that World Series loss a lot quicker. Thank you. No longer
00:03:34.280a proud fan. And there was this positive message. Thank you from a Dodgers fan who has mad respect
00:03:42.020for this franchise. Our guest today is Blue Jays fan and independent journalist, Daniel Boardman.
00:03:48.260Welcome, Daniel. Thanks for having me. Good to be back.
00:03:51.380I mean, you saw some of the posts, some of the responses to Rogers and the Blue Jays simply wishing a happy Passover to Jewish fans.
00:04:02.920Did you expect that you'd see this much negative backlash to that?
00:04:08.500Yes, absolutely. Yes. If you don't, you have not been living in Canada.
00:04:13.500You have not gone on the streets of any major city.
00:04:15.480um it the only thing now is like it's just impossible to tell what the political uh
00:04:20.620orientation of these posts are i mean when someone posts a hitler should have finished you all
00:04:25.360um post under a blue jays wishing people a happy passover um you have no idea if this is a
00:04:34.300you know far left um equity based teachers union ndp supporter who believes in human rights and
00:04:42.620equality for all and that's why she sports hitler this could be a far-right neo-nazi like actually
0.80
00:04:48.040is you know i love hitler because he's a fascist or it could just be one of the uh everyday muslims
00:04:54.120um in canadian society and for all three of those groups you like come together so um yes i expected
0.59
00:05:00.920it it should be expected in canada canada is not the same country that it was under stephen harper
00:05:06.720the mass migration directed from specifically Islamic nations, which Johnson Trudeau did
00:05:13.060promise. If you look at some interviews he did with the Arabic press in 2015, he is very clear
00:05:19.140to the Muslim community that he intends to target for mass migration to expend particular Arabic
00:05:26.740and Islamic countries en masse to bring in. And that's what he promised them. And that's what he
1.00
00:05:31.580did. And we are now seeing, again, in these countries, at best, absolutely best case studies
00:05:38.280we have from most Middle Eastern countries over the last 100 years, really, is 90% of them are
0.75
00:05:45.680extremely anti-Semitic to the points of Nazism. 90% is the best number we ever get. Usually it's
1.00
00:05:53.220around 95%, closer to 97% is the average. So again, if you're targeting mass migration from
00:05:59.300populations that were never denazified because again the arabs um were very very uh heavily
00:06:04.660involved uh with the nazis uh because nazi propaganda was very very anti-british um which
00:06:12.420a lot of the british and french again really having mandates in the region so um to sort of
00:06:17.940inspire them and again they they they they really glommed on to the arabic society the anti-semitism
00:06:23.060aspect because they are themselves a highly conspiratorial society um which um anti-semitism
0.81
00:06:29.520is sort of derived from conspiracy or far more conspiratorial than other things like this is
00:06:34.860when they say all racism is is the same and where it's all the same fight you know no actually
00:06:39.300everyone's a little bit different and you actually have to treat these things seriously like
00:06:42.320you know no one that really has anti-black conspiracies right they might say black people
00:06:48.120are this black people are that it's like crime statistics or this and that there's no conspiracy
00:06:52.380It's sort of, but the anti-Semitic conspiracy is sort of the Jews are controlling you from the weather or this or that.
00:06:58.760It's sort of this nebulous, untethered thing.
00:07:01.380So to a conspiratorial mind and to a society that's sort of breaking down and losing its foundations and its culture and its history.
00:07:07.540And the more untethered you get from reality, the more anti-Semitism you're going to get.
00:07:11.080Because, again, it's conspiracy mindset, which is, unfortunately, when you don't trust the institutions, when the institutions say, yeah, there's no.
00:07:21.280yeah it's actually safer to transition a seven-year-old girl into a seven-year-old boy this
00:07:25.360is great this is what the scientists say and then no one trusts the institutions of the science
00:07:29.280anymore so you you have a disconnect from reality and and this is a result but for it to venture
00:07:35.920into the world of sports you know i'm sure that rogers didn't think the owners of the blue jays
00:07:42.560didn't think that it would lead to an attempt that a post like that a seemingly innocent post
00:07:49.840wishing happy passover to fans would lead to something like that you know a blue here's
00:07:56.480here it is baseball now becoming a target for this type of well let's call it what it is
00:08:02.800hatred there was this post by one of the respondents star of david isn't a jewish symbol
00:08:09.760from 3 000 years ago it's a zionist symbol from the early 1900s u cox and that was
00:08:16.320by somebody who was obviously triggered by the star of david you know apart from just the
00:08:22.540congratulatory or the well-wisher from that was listed on the post so do you have any thoughts
00:08:29.420of that yeah i mean i i am gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna disagree with the sincerity of this poster
00:08:37.380i don't think he is as smart or as sincere as he is claiming to be so he's claiming that oh it's
00:08:43.420about passover it's about the the magendavi the star of david which um was not the star of david
00:08:48.780it was actually just invented randomly in 1948. now if you look at the uh the flag of palestine
00:08:54.460from the 1920s so again um there was a mandate period uh after the first world war so the french
00:09:01.500had manned and people think it was mandated people don't understand what a mandate is we'll get it
00:09:05.340but you had british mandates and french mandates sort of callings you could say or protectorates
00:09:09.900whatever um and one of them was the mandate for palestine if you look at the flag for the mandate
00:09:14.540of palestine it has again to be on it too it's a blue white with a yellow mcgendavid on it so
00:09:20.380the thought that it that this just came uh from 1940 from a zionist movement no no it's sort of
00:09:25.340forever been associated with um king david and like the symbol itself again when you have like
00:09:30.540geometry symbols like stars and different things the good ones tend to get were used a lot so if
00:09:36.140you go into um many dharmic societies like india nepal of england and you look at hindu buddhist
00:09:42.380and sort of sikh images one of the like eight sort of symbols in there is that you see them again
00:09:47.820david right so it's like a six-sided star looks nice it's symmetrical people use symmetry they
00:09:53.100have you know babylonians everyone looks up at the stars does some basic math you know geometry is is
00:09:59.500is standard so it makes sense that you know this symbol might have developed for different
00:10:04.300cultures different regions different ways uh and we have absolute archaeological evidence that
00:10:09.440the kingdom of david existed david was the king and they use this star of david but to me so this
00:10:14.760is just no there is this 99.9999999 percent of anti-zionism is anti-semitism and i will give
00:10:23.140the anti-zionist i did meet one person who was legitimately hated israel for non-anti-semitic
00:10:27.020reasons just a random woman who loved going to cuba and loved cuba so much and hated america and
00:10:32.240Israel because they voted against Cuba at the UN. So, okay, fine. That's somewhat reasonable.
00:10:38.700Reality-based means to have your opposition to the state of Israel as purely a, you know,
00:10:43.720vote on UN-Cuban embargoes. Okay, fine. But the majority of this is they don't like the
00:10:48.500holiday Passover. They don't like the Jewish symbols. And they attack this because they
00:10:51.720see Israel as a representative of all Jews. And they know they can't say Jews. So they either
00:10:55.480substitute Jews for Israel or Zionist. And that's sort of the left and, you know, half of the
0.52
00:11:00.600Islamic society. The right, which I like the far right anti-Semite likes a lot more because they
00:11:04.800will say Jews and they'll do the common decency of calling you a Jew. And like, then we can at
00:11:09.480least engage in this honestly. Um, but, uh, the sort of, uh, the, I would assume the guy who's
00:11:15.240getting mad at me star of David because it's a Zionist symbol. I would assume he would be voting
00:11:20.520NDP, um, in the next election or maybe, maybe Carney, but, uh, most likely it's a, it's a left
00:11:26.780wing embrace of neo-nazism i keep hearing that jewish canadians are leaving the country or at
0.86
00:11:35.500least thinking of leaving the country are you finding that yeah everyone's everyone's talking
00:11:41.980about it um yeah it's again listen there's a synagogue in my neighborhood that's been shot up
00:12:14.440Catch this guy. Why would you catch him?
00:12:16.180And if you do catch him, why would you hold him?
00:12:18.060And even if you do hold him, why would a judge ever put him in jail when you could just release him on bail 15 minutes later?
00:12:23.140So everyone kind of knows that these people are around every week in Toronto.
00:12:27.740There's a group of radical anti-Semites who go to Bathurst and Shepherd, which is like a Jewish majority area, just to protest the Jews and stomp around the neighborhood.
00:12:36.060They were stopped one week, but they're back again.
00:12:37.900And a lot of the leaders of this, like, constantly, I mean, there's people who spend all day on Twitter, on Instagram, we have accounts of calories, who just spend all day making threats against various Jews and Jewish organizations throughout Canada.
00:12:50.460And, you know, the police do nothing about it, not really.
00:12:53.960And, you know, Mark Carney claims that there are currently no laws in order to stop all this.
00:13:04.300We need Bill C9 because once we institute Islamic blasphemy laws, then anti-Semitism will go away.
00:13:09.200History shows that quite clearly. Right. You know, that's that's that's that's the pattern.
0.93
00:13:13.860And it's just a shame that shooting up a synagogue just happens to be in this little loophole where it's not illegal and we need speech laws.
00:13:19.900So that's where the liberal government is.
00:13:21.380They I think they're quite content to let this spiral out of control to then claim that Bill C9 is their solution to anti-Semitism.
00:13:27.540And they are doing something which will just be used to arrest people like me for criticizing the people burning down the synagogues and churches.
00:13:33.680But yeah, most Jewish families, we're going to have a Passover Seder tonight with the family.
00:13:39.320I'll see if anyone brings it up about leaving to go somewhere else.
00:13:44.120We do have an Israeli family there who are always looking at the Canadians in our family like we're crazy people who just don't understand the world, which is nice.
0.98
00:13:53.720But yeah, it's a conversation in the mind of every Jewish Canadian family with the means to get out.
00:13:59.680is if things are getting worse there's no sign of them getting better in the government um clearly
00:14:04.240doesn't care about our lives um and again you have this again like high tax and dna and canada
00:14:09.920doesn't even love canada anymore like so if you want to like i mean what what's our purpose as a
0.93
00:14:15.600nation like take the jewish canadians out of it okay fine but what's your pitch to the average
0.74
00:14:20.080canadian to stay in canada right now if you're the liberal government like canada is good because
0.51
00:14:24.000it's not america like you just can you just run the country off a pure hatred of donald trump
00:14:28.400and how long does that last right we this is the post-nation state idea and in a post-nation state
00:14:33.440where there are no core values or whatever whatever well then yeah you're going to get
00:14:36.800people coming in from iraq who are going to say okay this is iraq now and in iraq we believe that
1.00
00:14:43.440we should just kill all the jews because that's what everyone in iraq believes because all arab
0.95
00:14:47.920leaders have just used the jews as a scapegoat for their own incompetence for the last 50 60 years so
0.99
00:14:53.680That's what we have now in Canada. Everyone can see it. 90% of the Jewish community can see it. We still have some insane lefties who still exist. And I always like to say, Jews live closer to reality than the average person, right? Like, where is there? Which gives some Jews a hypersensitivity to reality and a great understanding of what's going on and a willingness to fight it, but also gives a certain segment of the Jewish population this great immunity to reality, right?
00:15:21.440They're very, very good at ignoring reality because they live much closer to it.
0.99
00:15:24.820So their antibodies to reality are very, very well built up.
0.81
00:15:28.400So this is like this explains Avi Lewis, right, who lived in progressive and increasing more progressive and progressive Jewish families to the point where now he's a Hamas supporter.
0.59
00:15:37.680But he's so insulated from his own ideas because he just lives in this echo chamber.
00:15:43.640He's so sort of pot committed to it that he just gets further and further and more deranged and insane.
0.94
00:15:48.480there now appeals to like what two percent of the jewish population at best is this thing so that's
0.99
00:15:52.980so you have most of the jews coming into reality um and realizing okay we might need a plan do we
0.78
00:15:58.340go to panama do we go to costa rica do we go to israel do we go to america to florida like where
0.92
00:16:02.580do we go that's safe and then you have um the lemmings who say okay we just capitulate a little
0.88
00:16:07.380bit further if we sell out um the jews just to the right of us um if we just capitulate and and do
0.90
00:16:13.600whatever and pay the jizya, so to speak, then things will get better.
0.99
00:16:17.540But that, that, that subset is, is, is dwindling and getting smaller and
