Rebel News Podcast - Censorship for a freer society： From Canada to Germany, governments want silence and control

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Thanks for joining us today. I take you through a video from Angela Merkel,

00:00:06.340 which I found a little bit scary. Probably made a little bit scarier by the fact that

00:00:10.280 she was saying it in German while pounding a desk with her hand. She was talking about removing our,

00:00:16.880 not our civil liberties, but German civil liberties, saying that freedom requires you

00:00:21.580 to be less free. I didn't quite understand it, so instead of trying to describe it,

00:00:25.120 I'll show it to you. I'll play the video for you now. The thing is, you're listening on a

00:00:29.980 podcast, and that's fine. Actually, it won't work now that I realize it, because we have an

00:00:36.340 on-screen translation. We translate her German into English. I think you'll get the gist of it,

00:00:42.600 so please listen to the show. You'll get it, because I explain it. But this is one of those

00:00:46.380 instances where I really think having a video version of the podcast is better. And you can

00:00:52.980 get that for eight bucks a month by going to premium.rebelnews.com. So please listen to the

00:00:58.840 podcast. You will understand it, because I explain it. But I think you've got to see her

00:01:03.540 pounding the desk, and you've got to see the translation simultaneously. And you can get

00:01:08.680 that at premium.rebelnews.com. Okay, here's the podcast.

00:01:26.460 Tonight, Angela Merkel says that for society to remain free, it must oppose freedom? What does

00:01:33.320 that mean? It's November 29th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:38.900 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:42.600 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:46.680 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's

00:01:51.080 my bloody right to do so.

00:01:52.540 I saw this video clip of a speech by Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany. It's almost two minutes

00:02:04.140 long, but I want to show it to you. Can I give you a few thoughts before you watch it, though?

00:02:08.760 It involves some rhetorical trickery, deliberately muddy wording. Listen to what she says, and as she

00:02:18.100 says it, imagine what you would think if this were said by, say, I don't know, Vladimir Putin of

00:02:22.480 Russia or Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela or maybe some Chinese foreign affairs spokesman. The word

00:02:29.820 tricks to hide what she's really doing. Second, and I'm sorry, I just couldn't help thinking of

00:02:35.400 this myself. Look at the arm pounding a bit. I mean, this is Adolf Hitler, and I'm obviously not

00:02:43.640 comparing Merkel to Hitler. That's not fair. She's not a Nazi, obviously. I'm not saying that,

00:02:47.740 but shouting and banging a podium, arms like this, like that. Watch her do that. I'm sorry.

00:02:55.540 There was something in how she delivered these remarks that made me think of that. Maybe that's

00:03:00.080 mean, but that's what my mind did. Someone pounding a podium, shouting in German while saying that for 0.61

00:03:07.100 the good of society, we have to restrict freedom. I'm sorry, that's where my mind went. Okay,

00:03:12.880 without further preliminaries, here's her remarks.

00:03:16.380 I'm sorry, ah sorry, car

00:03:41.120 But the belief freedom knows the limits.

00:03:43.920 And they begin there, where hatred is spread,

00:03:47.520 they begin there, where the hatred of other people is lost.

00:03:50.920 And we have to be against them and we have to be in this house.

00:03:54.720 And we will get that, my ladies and gentlemen.

00:03:57.320 Because otherwise, this society is not what they believe.

00:04:02.720 Now, she starts by saying that people who express an opinion

00:04:06.320 must live with being contradicted.

00:04:08.920 Yeah, that's called a debate, a free society.

00:04:12.720 That's what a conversation is.

00:04:15.320 Except that she seems to believe her opinions,

00:04:17.720 at least about controversial subjects,

00:04:19.720 like her open borders mass migration policy,

00:04:22.320 should not be contradicted.

00:04:24.520 She says that free speech will end in Germany if feelings are involved.

00:04:31.320 If she feels that you have the wrong feelings,

00:04:34.120 if she feels that you are spreading an emotion of hate,

00:04:38.720 and if she feels that someone else has their feelings or dignity heard.

00:04:41.520 So it's all about feelings.

00:04:42.520 You might not speak your speech with those feelings of hate,

00:04:47.520 but if someone else feels them when they hear you, you're in trouble.

00:04:50.520 That's how feelings laws work.

00:04:52.320 And of course, how someone feels isn't within your control.

00:04:55.120 Different things offend each of us,

00:04:56.520 but part of being a grown-up is to control our emotional reaction to things,

00:05:00.120 not to lash out at people who make a political point we disagree with,

00:05:03.120 and then insist on silencing them.

00:05:04.920 I mean, didn't Merkel just say we have to live with our ideas being contradicted

00:05:11.920 unless someone's feelings are hurt,

00:05:13.920 and she's going to decide whose feelings are hurt legally

00:05:16.920 and whose feelings will be protected legally?

00:05:19.920 There's no such thing as a human right not to be offended.

00:05:23.920 There's actually a human right to offend.

00:05:26.920 It's called freedom of speech.

00:05:28.720 It's a counterfeit human right not to be offended.

00:05:31.720 What that really is, is the power to silence someone else.

00:05:34.720 But her last line in that speech,

00:05:36.720 she will oppose free speech in order to protect a free society.

00:05:43.720 What?

00:05:44.720 Those words are jumbled together.

00:05:46.720 They don't make sense.

00:05:47.720 In order to protect freedom, we have to destroy freedom.

00:05:51.720 Watch the whole thing again.

00:05:52.720 Watch it again.

00:05:53.720 Applaus

00:05:55.520 Meinungsfreiheit in unserem Land ist gegeben.

00:05:58.520 Und all die, die dauernd behaupten,

00:06:00.520 sie durften nicht mehr ihre Meinung sagen,

00:06:02.520 denen muss sie einfach sagen, wer seine Meinung sagt.

00:06:04.520 Und wenn sie pronunciert ist, der muss damit leben,

00:06:07.520 dass es Widerspruch gibt.

00:06:08.520 Applaus

00:06:09.520 Es gibt keine Meinungsfreiheit zum Nulltarif,

00:06:12.520 das alle zustimmen.

00:06:13.520 Applaus

00:06:14.520 Aber die Meinungsfreiheit kennt Grenzen.

00:06:20.520 Und die beginnen da, wo gehetzt wird, da wo Hass verbreitet wird.

00:06:24.320 Die beginnen da, wo die Bürger anderer Menschen verletzt wird. 0.55

00:06:27.320 Und dagegen werden und müssen wir uns stellen in diesem Hause.

00:06:31.320 Und das werden wir auch hinbekommen, meine Damen und Herren.

00:06:34.320 Denn sonst ist diese Gesellschaft nicht mehr das, was sie entscheidet.

00:06:38.120 Applaus

00:06:39.120 Look, Merkel's policies are not just undermining Germany.

00:06:41.920 They're undermining all of Europe, 0.92

00:06:43.920 because Europe has no internal borders.

00:06:46.920 So by bringing in millions of Muslim migrants to Germany, 0.98

00:06:49.920 she's also doing so to every other European country

00:06:52.920 in what's called the Schengen Zone.

00:06:54.920 That's a European Zone of more than a dozen countries.

00:06:58.720 I note that Merkel has no children of her own.

00:07:01.720 And I mention that.

00:07:03.720 I think it's relevant.

00:07:04.720 She's in the twilight of her life.

00:07:06.520 She looks tired.

00:07:07.520 She looks like a candle that's sputtering out. 0.99

00:07:09.920 She's done.

00:07:11.120 Her line is done.

00:07:12.920 Her nickname is Mutter Merkel, Mother Merkel,

00:07:16.720 because this is so obviously a psychological projection on her part.

00:07:20.320 She will be the mother to millions,

00:07:22.320 even if she is actually the mother to none.

00:07:25.120 It's so strange.

00:07:26.120 She hates Germany in a way.

00:07:27.520 She wants to undo it in a way.

00:07:30.120 In that way, she's definitely the opposite of Hitler. 0.63

00:07:32.520 And my comparison earlier,

00:07:34.120 my comparison was about the speaking style,

00:07:35.720 the rhetorical trickery.

00:07:36.720 But listen to this again.

00:07:38.420 This is a clip from four years ago.

00:07:42.120 I did a video about Merkel back then,

00:07:44.120 where she says Germany is in no position to criticize ISIS.

00:07:49.920 She said this because Germany itself has done bad things in the past,

00:07:54.520 as in her opening borders to anyone,

00:07:57.320 including to ISIS terrorists, opening the borders,

00:08:00.520 even to those who hate Germany and the Western freedom.

00:08:03.520 It's it's actually her own self hatred,

00:08:06.120 her personal way of making Germany pay a price for past deeds.

00:08:09.920 Look at this.

00:08:11.320 I think I think this debate is very defensive.

00:08:13.920 You have to fight against terrorist threats.

00:08:16.920 And otherwise, the European history is so rich

00:08:19.920 at so dramatic and gruselous Auseinandersetzings,

00:08:23.920 that we should be very careful,

00:08:25.720 and we should be very careful when something bad happens.

00:08:29.120 We have to fight against it.

00:08:30.520 We have to try to fight against it.

00:08:32.520 But we have to fight against it.

00:08:35.120 We have to fight against it.

00:08:36.120 I have to say that as a German Chancellor.

00:08:39.120 Germany has no leg to stand on its haughty arrogance to criticize ISIS.

00:08:45.120 I think, I think she might hate Germany.

00:08:48.720 And of course, Merkel has already brought in

00:08:50.920 the most punitive restrictions on free speech and the Internet

00:08:54.320 in all of Europe other than Belarus and Putin's Russia.

00:08:58.320 She's already a heavy censor. 1.00

00:08:59.720 But let us not think that such government censorship exists only in faraway lands.

00:09:06.320 I see in the news today that Quebec's Court of Appeal has ordered a comedian

00:09:10.320 to pay a huge fine for telling mean jokes about someone.

00:09:13.720 Now, it's true.

00:09:15.720 The jokes were absolutely mean.

00:09:18.520 They were making someone who was making fun of someone who was handicapped.

00:09:21.920 That is very mean.

00:09:23.320 He's a disabled boy who became a bit of a celebrity.

00:09:27.420 I'd say he became a public figure.

00:09:29.120 And I mention that because if you're a private person, you're a private person.

00:09:33.420 And maybe you have some right not to be picked on by some public person, maybe.

00:09:38.920 But if you enter the public arena as a bit of a celebrity,

00:09:41.620 I think you do open yourself up to public commentary, including unfair commentary,

00:09:46.320 including from comedians.

00:09:48.020 Let me read.

00:09:49.720 A judge on Thursday rejected part of the appeal of a comedian

00:09:52.920 who joked about drowning a disabled boy.

00:09:55.520 Comedian Mike Ward must pay $35,000 to Jeremy Gabriel because of a joke, he told, that shows

00:10:01.120 between 2010 and 2013, the court confirmed.

00:10:05.020 A panel of appellate court judges upheld part of a ruling against Ward handed down in January 2019.

00:10:11.020 Ward has been ordered to pay $42,000.

00:10:13.720 $35,000 to Gabriel, $7,000 to his mother.

00:10:17.820 So this has been going on for nine, almost 10 years.

00:10:21.920 He told a joke 10 years ago and he's still in court over it.

00:10:28.320 I can assure you the $42,000 in fines he's paying is a sliver of his legal fees.

00:10:33.920 Was he mean to this boy who's now a man?

00:10:36.520 Yeah.

00:10:37.520 And it would be understandable if people didn't want to patronize Mike Ward,

00:10:41.520 if comedy clubs didn't want to let him perform anymore because 10 years ago he told a mean joke.

00:10:48.120 Can you imagine running a comedy club if that was how you vetted your talent?

00:10:51.720 I get it if a radio or TV station didn't want to invite him on anymore.

00:10:55.920 But can you imagine if that was the test?

00:10:58.320 You made a joke back in 2010.

00:11:01.920 Okay, whatever.

00:11:02.920 But the government adjudicating jokes?

00:11:07.720 As we said yesterday about Sacha Baron Cohen, is a racist joke still allowed if it's funny?

00:11:14.920 Or is the rule only a person of that race gets to make a joke even if it's not funny? 0.98

00:11:21.320 Because there are disabled comedians who make fun of their own disabilities all the time.

00:11:27.520 Is that okay?

00:11:29.520 Or is the rule that no disability jokes are allowed at all?

00:11:32.320 How about we each get to make up our own minds about that?

00:11:36.320 Of course, here in Canada, we here at The Rebel are often in the crosshairs of censors ourselves.

00:11:41.520 As you know, we spent six months fighting against an illegal investigation of Sheila Gunn-Reed

00:11:45.720 and her book Stop Notley by this guy, Lauren Gibson, Rachel Notley's hand-picked elections commissioner.

00:11:51.920 There are so many media party stories about how outrageous it is that Jason Kenney just fired Gibson.

00:11:58.920 What an assault on the rule of law that was.

00:12:01.920 I haven't seen a single such story refer to him hiring private investigators

00:12:05.920 to hunt Sheila Gunn-Reed for six months over her book.

00:12:12.120 Just a reminder on that, they demanded to see Sheila's editorial notes for her book.

00:12:18.120 Here, here's proof.

00:12:19.120 The area that I can't stick off yet is just the part about the planning of when it was to be made available.

00:12:25.320 And I'm going to see that through things like, you know, either a contract or some type of briefing note

00:12:31.320 or, you know, a schedule or, you know, emails or something like that saying,

00:12:37.320 yeah, this is, you know, this is when I'm starting before even a statement from you.

00:12:42.520 This is when I, this is when I started writing the book.

00:12:45.520 You know, this is when, you know, it was fine to be, you know, the Susan or whatever

00:12:50.920 when we were thinking of releasing the book, whatever.

00:12:54.520 That's an audio recording of one of the ex-cops hired as a private investigator to go after Sheila.

00:13:00.520 And this same ex-cop, Branders' name, warned Sheila that if she did not give up her emails and editorial notes,

00:13:08.720 she would face, quote, severe consequences.

00:13:12.720 Yeah, I mean, we have that, Sheila, where people don't cooperate

00:13:16.720 and then they get, you know, they get obstruction, you know, the offense for obstruction can be pretty severe.

00:13:23.720 You know, there's, you know, I hope rather it not come to that.

00:13:31.320 I think it's something that we can be cleared up pretty, pretty easily.

00:13:36.120 As you may know, we spend tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers fighting these thugs.

00:13:41.260 And when they finally dropped their case last month, Gibson had the temerity to say that Sheila was lucky.

00:13:48.800 Fortunately for Sheila Gunn-Reed, my office is only able to enforce the legislation as it could. 0.99

00:13:53.720 It's currently written.

00:13:55.520 He wanted the power to abuse her even further.

00:13:58.380 Now, yesterday, Notley had the chutzpah to ask Jason Kenney about Gibson being fired.

00:14:04.700 And here's the question and the answer in question period.

00:14:07.300 Mr. Speaker, the Premier doesn't appear to understand what it is I am talking about.

00:14:11.700 Yesterday, justice lawyers told the court that the government is going to rewrite these laws

00:14:16.220 likely to the satisfaction of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

00:14:20.140 as well as other corporate foreign-funded third parties supporting them.

00:14:25.480 You know, this government claims to be fighting against foreign-funded interests,

00:14:29.520 just apparently not the ones who support this Premier.

00:14:32.900 Premier, why do you support foreign-funded interests that support only you?

00:14:38.460 Mr. Speaker, not only have they not read the platform, they refuse to listen to the answer,

00:14:47.580 which is that we will act for the first time in Alberta political history

00:14:51.340 to make it illegal for foreign interests to interfere in our politics

00:14:56.640 by contributing to the so-called political action committees that the NDP created in their legislation.

00:15:02.700 There are other issues before the court dealing with the constitutionally protected freedom of expression.

00:15:09.200 For example, we don't believe people should be prosecuted for publishing books, Mr. Speaker,

00:15:15.520 and we'll stand with Charter Rights for Freedom of Expression.

00:15:19.620 So yeah, that's a reference to Sheila's book.

00:15:22.560 And I'm glad Lauren Gibson is gone.

00:15:24.740 And I'm glad Jason Kenney knows about that book investigation.

00:15:27.500 And I'm glad that Jason Kenney implied, at least,

00:15:31.660 that the law under which Sheila was investigated was unconstitutional.

00:15:35.780 Okay, good.

00:15:36.480 But hang on.

00:15:39.220 Jason Kenney's own justice minister, a red Tory named Doug Schweitzer,

00:15:43.400 he's actually still fighting us in court,

00:15:46.360 insisting that that law is, in fact, constitutional.

00:15:51.160 Lauren Gibson is gone.

00:15:52.180 But Doug Schweitzer is still fighting Gibson's old battles for him,

00:15:58.560 including fighting against us on this law.

00:16:01.840 We say it's unconstitutional.

00:16:03.600 Doug Schweitzer is taking us to court saying,

00:16:05.380 no, it is constitutional.

00:16:06.560 Yeah.

00:16:07.120 So that Angela Merkel, eh?

00:16:08.980 What a threat she is, eh? 0.99

00:16:11.020 Hmm.

00:16:11.460 It's true.

00:16:12.600 But maybe we can strengthen our own freedom of speech here in Canada, too?

00:16:17.220 Stay with us for more.

00:16:18.180 We vote for the standards!

00:16:36.040 We vote for the standards!

00:16:39.540 Viva viva into Florida!

00:16:41.240 Viva viva into Florida!

00:16:43.540 Viva viva into Florida!

00:16:45.260 That was footage from Toronto's York University.

00:16:50.100 A Jewish students group had brought speakers from Israel.

00:16:53.740 They were part of the Israel Defense Forces, but it's mandatory conscription there.

00:16:59.080 And some people do their service by traveling around the world, making a good impression for Israel.

00:17:04.300 They were visiting the Jewish students, but that was deemed unacceptable by radical groups at York, which are very numerous.

00:17:11.840 And so what started as a protest turned into almost a mini-riot.

00:17:18.200 Fisticuffs broke out, but perhaps more shockingly than just a tussle, chants of back-to-the-ovens and other clearly anti-Semitic, 0.77

00:17:27.740 I don't know if I would say the phrase, threats of violence, but certainly calls for hatred and even death to Jews in general. 1.00

00:17:35.740 Joining us now in studio to talk about this is our friend Tarek Fata, who has written about this mini-riot in the Toronto Sun.

00:17:43.420 Tarek, it's great to see you here. Thanks for being here.

00:17:44.800 Good to see you.

00:17:45.740 It's been a while since we've seen you. You're always fighting the good fight.

00:17:49.320 I enjoyed your article in the Toronto Sun.

00:17:51.120 What do you think we should make of this tussle?

00:17:54.880 Like student politics, I like rambunctious politics, but did this go too far?

00:18:00.100 I think what the West is missing in its approach to anti-Semitism is the language.

00:18:09.720 Anti-Semitism has its roots in Europe.

00:18:13.120 The centuries of Christian teaching about Jews, which does not apply in the case of anti-Semitism,

00:18:24.380 if you use the word, that gets generated by, say, people with backgrounds in Pakistan, Iran, or Turkey.

00:18:31.880 Yeah, obviously there's not a Christian.

00:18:34.400 It is religious.

00:18:36.440 I would say that Christianity, at least that I know in the 21st century, is overwhelmingly pro-Semitic, pro-Jewish. 0.96

00:18:45.220 Well, that's a result of the Second World War.

00:18:47.180 That's the outcome, the positive outcome of a sacrifice made by close to 50, 60 million people.

00:18:55.060 Now, in Pakistan, obviously, that's a country that's more than 90% Muslim.

00:18:58.960 So, obviously, they're not being guided by any Christian interpretation.

00:19:03.820 Is that a Muslim hatred?

00:19:05.360 Is it a political hatred?

00:19:06.700 What's the source of it in Pakistan?

00:19:08.140 Its source is a term called Yehud-Wu-Hanud, the Jew and the Hindu.

00:19:13.980 And the essence of Pakistan's formation was its destiny, as guided by Sharia law, to wipe out Hinduism from the face of this earth. 1.00

00:19:25.280 And, of course, we can't do that without eliminating the Jews. 1.00

00:19:29.840 And so, the whole theory about the resurrection of Jesus Christ coming to Jerusalem, 0.97

00:19:34.900 sending an army to destroy all the Christians of Europe, and sending one detachment to India. 0.88

00:19:41.680 So, this is not a joke. 0.98

00:19:43.020 Really? So, how long or how old is the Islamic war against India?

00:19:50.780 Does that go back centuries?

00:19:52.580 Of course. Seventh century.

00:19:54.300 It's that old?

00:19:55.000 We've been invading India since the year 711, when the Berbers entered Spain at the same time, 1.00

00:20:04.220 of which Gibraltar is the name, Jabal al-Tariq, Tariq bin Ziyad, the Berber general who entered Spain and then didn't,

00:20:14.180 in fact, the final liberation, if I would say, of Spain took place in the 14…

00:20:21.900 1492.

00:20:22.900 Yeah, 1492.

00:20:24.100 But India's first attack on India was by an Arab general, a 17-year-old guy, who came… 0.99

00:20:34.220 to get hold of the descendants of the Prophet's family, who found refuge in India.

00:20:39.900 Wow.

00:20:40.900 So, India as itself also tries to hide this fact, because that is now Pakistan. 0.53

00:20:49.580 So, let's bring that back to Toronto in 2019. You know, I learned so much about Islam from you, but also, you're big in India.

00:20:56.260 We've shown our folks before that you have television shows in India that have many, many millions of viewers.

00:21:02.260 We can't even imagine… I mean, India's a country with more than a billion people, and you speak bluntly about these things.

00:21:08.260 I simply state that there are two Islams. One is Allah's Islam, and the other is Mullah's Islam. We, as Muslims, have to make a choice. 0.64

00:21:17.260 And Allah, of course, is the Muslim God, and Mullah's are like the… 1.00

00:21:20.260 Mullah is the people who generated Sharia law. For example, the Quran doesn't state anywhere that Muhammad slaughtered 700 Jews. There is no Jewish source to that story. But 150 years after that, 0.95

00:21:37.260 Muhammad's death, to generate attack and hatred against Jews, a story was developed that Muhammad himself killed Jews. Therefore, it is a duty to kill Jews. 0.99

00:21:49.260 I, you know, I'm not a master of the Quran. I assume that that story was in the original work. 0.97

00:21:55.260 No, no, no. It's not there. For example, 17 times a day, Muslims go to pray, and a prayer includes Surah Fatiha.

00:22:04.260 This is the first page of the Quran as it is collated today. It wasn't as such in the early days.

00:22:11.260 And it says that God show me the straight path, not the path of those who have rejected or cursed, nor those who have been led astray.

00:22:23.260 This could be pedophiles. This could be murderers. This could be smugglers or wife beaters. You could attach anything to it. 0.92

00:22:33.260 Right. But a hundred years after the Quran was revealed, some guy said, aha, so who are these guys that God has cursed?

00:22:42.260 And of course, you had a mullah who said, oh, who else but the Jews? So every Quran today, every sermon in Canada, 17 times a day addresses and says, show me the right path, not the path on which God you have cursed or you have showered your wrath on them who are the Jews. 0.95

00:23:06.260 Now, if you cannot combat that, you can't combat Jew hatred as against anti-Semitism.

00:23:15.260 Well, here's the thing. I mean, it was quite shocking to see this scuffle and to have it overlaid with these anti-Semitic phrases.

00:23:23.260 But I looked at political leaders who, if the shoe were on the other foot, if, I mean, I don't even think it's ever happened that there's been an anti-Muslim riot in Canada.

00:23:34.260 And I don't think that's ever happened. But if, God forbid, it were to happen, Justin Trudeau, John Tory, Doug Ford, every media would, that's all they would talk about.

00:23:43.260 Here they quickly, I mean, they said, oh, we don't like this, but they wouldn't name the problem. They wouldn't name it, would they?

00:23:49.260 Of the three, two of them explicitly condemned anti-Semitism, the mayor. However, between Trudeau and Tory is hypocrisy. 0.91

00:24:00.260 Because Mr. Trudeau, Prime Minister Trudeau himself has participated in the prayers in which the Imam has said, oh, God, show us the right path, not the path in which Jews have been cursed.

00:24:14.260 And Mayor Tory is guided by the same mullahs who do this. So, he has visited mosques, has associated with radical Imams. 1.00

00:24:25.260 I mean, you know, I hosted a show with him and he would never believe me when I would say, this is disaster.

00:24:32.260 Because a religious scholar who's saying that, no, no, no, no, he has nothing to do anything wrong with Jews, he's lying, because here's the text.

00:24:43.260 And the call to prayer in City Hall, in the prayers in which Jews are cursed, was done in City Hall, under the mayorship of his worship, John Tory. 0.98

00:25:01.260 So, that's why I say both of them are being hypocritical. You cannot be against anti-Semitism while tolerating it if it came from a non-traditional source. 0.90

00:25:13.260 They always focus on anti-Semitism as if it comes from white supremacists or KKK or white nationalists or whatever is the current term for that.

00:25:23.260 They will never, ever, for even dare to say for a minute that called the Imams and said, well, obviously it's not the Koran.

00:25:33.260 Why don't you say explicitly that this doesn't refer to Jews?

00:25:37.260 You know what? I grew up west of Calgary in the 70s and 80s, and I went to a country school.

00:25:46.260 I remember there were 400 kids in the school. My sister and I were the only two Jews.

00:25:50.260 There were two black kids who were adopted and two Chinese kids.

00:25:54.260 And that's it, in a school of 400 country folks.

00:25:59.260 And you would think, oh, my God, that must have been terrible. The opposite, Derek.

00:26:03.260 It was friendly all the time. At most, it was, can you explain your holiday?

00:26:09.260 In fact, it maybe had to be on my toes because everyone was always saying, well, what's the Jewish version of this or that?

00:26:14.260 Like, I had to know my answers because I was the only Jew they met.

00:26:18.260 My point is, I never experienced anti-Semitism growing up outside of Calgary, southern Alberta, rednecks. 1.00

00:26:28.260 I never saw that. I went to university in the 80s and early 90s, and it really wasn't that way.

00:26:37.260 This harsh, physical, brutal anti-Semitism at York.

00:26:41.260 This is new.

00:26:42.260 It is new, and it's not old stock Canadians.

00:26:45.260 No, no, no. Let me tell you one thing.

00:26:47.260 Even the Jewish community is not equipped to understand what's happening.

00:26:50.260 Well, or they refuse to.

00:26:52.260 I think I would give them benefit of doubt because there are no courses in Islamic theology in Israel or any Jewish school or at any Jewish university.

00:27:02.260 So, what's happening is that Western society evolved after the Second World War as understanding that human civilization can never, ever, ever use race to eliminate a people.

00:27:21.260 Never again.

00:27:22.260 Never again.

00:27:23.260 However, a large segment of the population that was under colonial rule, whether they were Egypt or whether, well, to a certain degree, Turkey at that time was not that bad.

00:27:33.260 Turkey, in fact, during the Caliphate opened its doors to Jews that were expelled from Spain.

00:27:38.260 This is primarily, and I wouldn't even say Arab, it is coming from the Indian subcontinent which is the only Muslims who refuse to acknowledge their own heritage. 0.97

00:27:53.260 In Iran, everybody celebrates Nauros, which is a Zoroastrian festival of the New Year.

00:28:00.260 In Turkey, you have Turkish names.

00:28:02.260 You know, as much as I hate Erdogan, he's at least using a Turkish word for his name.

00:28:07.260 In Indonesia, the grandson of the President is called Narendra, which is Indian Prime Minister's name.

00:28:16.260 Everybody is comfortable except Muslims of the Indian Pakistani subcontinent who refuse to ever name their children after Indian names. 1.00

00:28:27.260 They take Tamurlan's name, the worst killer of all time. 0.85

00:28:33.260 Of all history.

00:28:34.260 Of all history.

00:28:35.260 The world population dropped by 3% as a result of that.

00:28:38.260 Yeah.

00:28:39.260 You have Tamur as a name.

00:28:40.260 Yeah, he was one of the Tsarnia brothers, was named Tamerlane Tsarnia.

00:28:43.260 Yeah.

00:28:44.260 Number two, why did my father name me Tarek?

00:28:47.260 And my brother is Mahmud.

00:28:49.260 Tarek is actually a Sanskrit word, Tarek, which is root word to star, sitara.

00:28:56.260 All these words are Sanskrit words.

00:28:58.260 However, in his mind, Tarek was the man who invaded Spain.

00:29:02.260 So, I am Tarek.

00:29:03.260 My brother's name is Mahmud.

00:29:06.260 That's the guy who butchered India. 1.00

00:29:08.260 Wow.

00:29:09.260 So, we have a situation where we created a country of now about 200 million people who have no identity of their own.

00:29:16.260 They have outlet their own mother tongue and adopted in a hierarchy of languages Urdu considered Islamic, butchered their own people in Bengal and Balochistan and now are the main suppliers of international terror. 0.99

00:29:33.260 And the West can only see Iran in it. 0.92

00:29:36.260 Yeah.

00:29:37.260 The Iranian people will overthrow the Imams. 1.00

00:29:39.260 I hope you're right.

00:29:40.260 In Pakistan, it's going to be the other way around. 0.99

00:29:42.260 Because the people are indoctrinated into believing that it is a religious duty to eliminate Hindus and obliterate Jews. 0.99

00:29:51.260 Wow. 0.96

00:29:52.260 That's very depressing because I know Pakistan remains a large source of migrants to Canada.

00:29:56.260 And especially to universities.

00:29:58.260 And I, I mean, I think it's...

00:30:00.260 Most of the Islamic groups, the NCCM, Pakistani, ICNA, Pakistani, MSA, Pakistani.

00:30:06.260 These are all the different Muslim lobby groups here in Canada.

00:30:09.260 In Canada, you think, have you ever run into a Turk or a Kurdish fellow or an Iranian against any... 0.84

00:30:16.260 Not many.

00:30:17.260 No.

00:30:18.260 They, they...

00:30:19.260 I was with the Iranian demonstration outside the anti-mullah rallies that took place at North York at the Mel Lastman Center.

00:30:26.260 100% of them are sick and tired of the Ayatollahs. 1.00

00:30:30.260 Yeah.

00:30:31.260 And there was no Muslim organization to support them.

00:30:34.260 Well, I tell you, you've made me a little bit more depressed.

00:30:37.260 Don't be depressed.

00:30:38.260 I am depressed.

00:30:39.260 A little bit.

00:30:40.260 No, you cannot be because the future is ours.

00:30:43.260 That's, that's being a Marxist in me.

00:30:46.260 Well, demographically speaking, they're growing.

00:30:49.260 Politically speaking, they're growing.

00:30:51.260 How can the future be ours when it looks like it's theirs? 0.99

00:30:54.260 It's critical mass.

00:30:55.260 Reaching critical mass.

00:30:56.260 I've been working on trying to open eyes for the last 50 years.

00:31:03.260 I don't look for results.

00:31:06.260 I believe in the Hindu book, Gita, that says never have expectations.

00:31:13.260 I guess, I guess you won't be disappointed.

00:31:15.260 No, no.

00:31:16.260 I don't, I don't have the right to be, to expect any result of what I do.

00:31:20.260 And there are countless people like me doing it.

00:31:22.260 These people in Iran, 400 shot dead.

00:31:26.260 Today in South Iraq, 40 killed in one day.

00:31:29.260 They're all, they're giving their lives for this.

00:31:33.260 Yeah.

00:31:34.260 What are we doing?

00:31:35.260 We are taking our mayors and prime ministers into mosques and positioning them as holy men.

00:31:42.260 Why would holy men wear long frocks?

00:31:45.260 Why do you have to wear something to look holy?

00:31:48.260 If you're holy, you're holy.

00:31:50.260 You do nice things.

00:31:51.260 Yeah.

00:31:52.260 You clear the neighbors snow.

00:31:54.260 I'd like the mayor's mullahs to clear my snow, then I'd believe that he's a Muslim. 1.00

00:31:59.260 Because my definition of Muslim is someone who clears the neighbor's snow. 0.99

00:32:02.260 It's very simple.

00:32:03.260 The rest is all, you know, too medieval for me to follow.

00:32:08.260 Because I know that horses don't fly, fires don't speak and monkeys don't have heads cut off from somebody else.

00:32:16.260 Let people be religious.

00:32:18.260 If they want to, they rely to.

00:32:19.260 But we can't bring religion into politics.

00:32:23.260 Well, you're one of my favorite people and I love how you fight.

00:32:26.260 I love you're fighting hard.

00:32:28.260 You told me as you came in you just had a big milestone birthday.

00:32:31.260 I couldn't believe when you said you were 70 because you got the energy of a 50-year-old.

00:32:35.260 That's for sure.

00:32:36.260 You got a fighting spirit and you got a great, you're a happy warrior.

00:32:40.260 I am.

00:32:41.260 No regret.

00:32:42.260 Which is one of the reasons why we love you.

00:32:43.260 Thank you, my friend.

00:32:44.260 Good to see you.

00:32:45.260 Thanks a lot.

00:32:46.260 You're a great people.

00:32:47.260 Tarek Fata whose column runs in the Toronto Sun and we're very glad that it does.

00:32:51.260 He's also pretty big in India.

00:32:53.260 His TV show Fata Kafatwa, if I'm saying that right, has absolutely millions of views.

00:32:59.260 In some ways he's probably the most popular Canadian outside of our own shores.

00:33:05.260 Stay with us.

00:33:06.260 More Hat on the Rebel.

00:33:16.260 Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about Sacha Baron Cohen.

00:33:19.260 Sam writes, so Borat is telling us how to think now.

00:33:23.260 Well, listen, it's like what I said about that Quebec comedian, Mike Ward I think is

00:33:28.260 his name.

00:33:29.260 I happen to think Sacha Baron Cohen is pretty funny most of the time.

00:33:33.260 And I laugh at some of his jokes that are the most cringy, including the anti-Semitic

00:33:38.260 jokes.

00:33:39.260 And maybe I can laugh about it because I know he's Jewish and I think they're actually 1.00

00:33:42.260 really rip-snortingly funny.

00:33:44.260 It's just a bit of chutzpah for him to now be the joke police when he broke more joke

00:33:50.260 laws than anyone else I know.

00:33:52.260 Brendan writes, this guy literally made millions defaming people including the entire country

00:33:57.260 of Kazakhstan.

00:33:58.260 He played a character who sang a song about throwing Jews down the well which encouraged 1.00

00:34:01.260 the only two people around the world to joke about anti-Semitism. 0.95

00:34:04.260 Why is the left always this hypocritical? 0.85

00:34:06.260 Yeah, and it's not just him, Sarah Silverman. 0.90

00:34:10.260 It's very rare a comedian who gets big and rich who stays edgy.

00:34:18.260 Mostly, it's all about the Benjamins.

00:34:21.260 It's all about the money.

00:34:22.260 It's all about the endorsements.

00:34:23.260 And they would never be that way.

00:34:25.260 I will give credit to Bill Maher on that HBO show because he actually is a free speech

00:34:32.260 absolutist even though he's very wealthy and successful.

00:34:35.260 But you can seriously count people like that on one hand's fingers.

00:34:39.260 On my interview with Andrew Lawton about increasing the carbon tax, Dave writes, what climate crisis?

00:34:46.260 Yeah, exactly.

00:34:48.260 As I said the other day, even if you accept the UN's numbers, which I don't.

00:34:53.260 And even if you accept that a warming Earth is bad, and I don't.

00:34:58.260 The UN says even if we do all the things that the countries have promised to do under the Paris Accords,

00:35:03.260 and even if we do more, it won't stop global warming from happening.

00:35:08.260 Over the course of the next 80 years, instead of raising by 3.2 degrees Celsius,

00:35:13.260 it'll raise by 3.0 degrees Celsius.

00:35:16.260 That's really no difference at all.

00:35:18.260 It's not even measurable on a thermometer, but it'll cost several trillion dollars a year.

00:35:25.260 That's a lie.

00:35:26.260 On the topic of Alberta separation, Steve writes,

00:35:30.260 no one in Ontario takes Alberta separation seriously, even my own relatives.

00:35:34.260 What if we could get Donald Trump to publicly state a province of Canada was asking if they could join America?

00:35:39.260 It surely would spark immediate action rather than the slow, painful path we are on.

00:35:43.260 What do you think?

00:35:45.260 I absolutely think that.

00:35:47.260 And we had two Wexit town hall meetings in Alberta a week or two ago.

00:35:52.260 And in both places, I said, look, Quebec had Charles de Gaulle.

00:35:56.260 Remember, he came to Quebec and said, vive Quebec, vive Quebec Libre.

00:36:00.260 And that sort of lit a flame in Quebec because there was endorsement of Quebec as a French place

00:36:06.260 and a foreign leader who was well regarded.

00:36:08.260 If Trump were even just to tweet about it, just in the manner that he tweeted about Greenland.

00:36:13.260 Remember?

00:36:14.260 Oh, that would get things moving in Canada, too.

00:36:16.260 That's for sure.

00:36:17.260 Well, folks, that's the show for today.

00:36:19.260 I'm actually headed to Calgary for the UCP convention.

00:36:23.260 That's the United Conservative Party.

00:36:25.260 Jason Kenney no longer has a fatwa against rebel reporters.

00:36:30.260 We are now allowed in.

00:36:31.260 So we're going to have a bunch of us there.

00:36:34.260 Sheila Gunn-Reed will be there tomorrow.

00:36:36.260 Kim Bextie will be there today.

00:36:38.260 And so is our new reporter, Abigail Hammond, who's doing just such a great job.

00:36:44.260 And normally I would sign off here.

00:36:46.260 But let me end with a little video that Abigail did on the streets of Toronto.

00:36:52.260 It's about, I don't know, it's more than five minutes long, so you can say goodbye to me now.

00:36:57.260 But I encourage you to stick around.

00:36:58.260 If you haven't seen Abigail's work yet, can I show you?

00:37:01.260 She went downtown Toronto with a map of Canada without the names of the provinces on it,

00:37:06.260 a blank map, and said to random Torontonians,

00:37:10.260 can you point to where Alberta is?

00:37:14.260 And it's just too good not to share.

00:37:16.260 Here, let me say goodbye to you now, but enjoy Abigail Hammond's video from Toronto.

00:37:21.260 I went to downtown Toronto, to Yonge and Dundas Square,

00:37:24.260 to ask Torontonians what they know about Alberta in light of Western Separatism gaining ground.

00:37:29.260 After all, is it any wonder that some Albertans want to leave Canada

00:37:32.260 when their own countrymen can't even find them on the map?

00:37:34.260 Can you point out where Alberta is on this map? 0.98

00:37:37.260 S**t. Um, that's Saskatchewan. This one. 0.97

00:37:41.260 No.

00:37:42.260 I'm not sure, but somewhere right here.

00:37:44.260 Can you point out to me where Alberta is on this map?

00:37:47.260 You know, you're asking somebody who's not really from here, but I believe it's that one.

00:37:50.260 But yeah, I should know, I was in Edmonton during the week.

00:37:53.260 And can you locate Alberta for me?

00:37:57.260 It's one of these.

00:37:58.260 I know that's St. John's though.

00:38:00.260 Okay.

00:38:02.260 Yes, you're correct.

00:38:03.260 Yeah.

00:38:05.260 Alberta. 1.00

00:38:07.260 S**t. 1.00

00:38:08.260 Somewhere around here. 0.99

00:38:09.260 Oh my gosh.

00:38:10.260 Around here.

00:38:11.260 Okay.

00:38:12.260 Oh, right there.

00:38:18.260 Alberta.

00:38:19.260 Right there.

00:38:20.260 Right there.

00:38:23.260 I think it's towards the middle.

00:38:25.260 Okay.

00:38:26.260 Or it's that one.

00:38:27.260 I'm going to guess here.

00:38:28.260 I'm fairly new here.

00:38:29.260 Okay.

00:38:30.260 I'm trying to learn.

00:38:31.260 Can you show me where Alberta is on this map?

00:38:34.260 Yeah, where?

00:38:35.260 It's there.

00:38:36.260 That is Alberta right here. 1.00

00:38:37.260 Do you know what the capital of Alberta is?

00:38:38.260 No.

00:38:39.260 No clue.

00:38:40.260 Okay.

00:38:41.260 Calgary?

00:38:42.260 Is that wrong?

00:38:43.260 Can you tell me what the capital of Alberta is?

00:38:45.260 It's Vancouver.

00:38:46.260 Isn't Alberta the capital of Edmonton?

00:38:48.260 Am I wrong?

00:38:49.260 No, I can't.

00:38:50.260 Can you give me choices?

00:38:51.260 Whitehorse.

00:38:52.260 Winnipeg.

00:38:53.260 Edmonton.

00:38:54.260 Calgary.

00:38:55.260 Um.

00:38:56.260 Winnipeg.

00:38:57.260 Can you tell me what the capital of Alberta is?

00:38:58.260 No clue.

00:38:59.260 Okay.

00:39:00.260 Calgary?

00:39:01.260 Is that wrong?

00:39:02.260 Can you tell me what the capital of Alberta is?

00:39:03.260 Uh, it's Vancouver.

00:39:04.260 Isn't Alberta the capital of Edmonton?

00:39:06.260 Am I wrong?

00:39:07.260 No, I can't.

00:39:08.260 Um.

00:39:09.260 Can you give me choices?

00:39:10.260 Whitehorse.

00:39:11.260 Winnipeg.

00:39:12.260 Edmonton.

00:39:13.260 Calgary.

00:39:14.260 Um.

00:39:15.260 Winnipeg.

00:39:16.260 Can you tell me what the capital is of Alberta?

00:39:18.260 Edmonton.

00:39:19.260 Edmonton.

00:39:20.260 Yeah.

00:39:21.260 Awesome.

00:39:22.260 Saskatchewan.

00:39:23.260 Oh.

00:39:24.260 I couldn't tell you, no.

00:39:27.260 Oh, shoot.

00:39:28.260 That's a trick question.

00:39:29.260 Is it Edmonton or...

00:39:31.260 Edmonton?

00:39:32.260 No.

00:39:33.260 Calgary.

00:39:34.260 It would be Calgary.

00:39:35.260 Oh, my goodness.

00:39:36.260 Uh.

00:39:37.260 Calgary.

00:39:38.260 Or Edmonton.

00:39:39.260 I'm not sure which one.

00:39:41.260 Um.

00:39:42.260 Edmonton.

00:39:43.260 Cal...

00:39:45.260 Calgary?

00:39:46.260 I don't mean to sound ignorant about Alberta.

00:39:49.260 I was in Edmonton once.

00:39:50.260 Very nice.

00:39:51.260 People are awesome.

00:39:52.260 Do you know anything about the Albertan people?

00:39:54.260 No.

00:39:55.260 Not much.

00:39:56.260 It's your first visit to Canada?

00:39:57.260 Yeah.

00:39:58.260 Everybody speaks very positively about Alberta.

00:40:01.260 Yeah.

00:40:02.260 Nothing.

00:40:03.260 Nothing.

00:40:04.260 I'm sorry.

00:40:05.260 They were angry this past election with Trudeau.

00:40:07.260 The problem right now is there's a lot of lost jobs because of the Kill Pipeline projects

00:40:11.260 and because of the carbon tax.

00:40:13.260 So, a lot of Albertans are feeling hurt by this and, you know, they want solutions.

00:40:18.260 Do you think they can come to solutions with the Canadian government?

00:40:22.260 If Trudeau's willing to work with them, I know after seeing the results of the past election,

00:40:26.260 he said that he was willing to invest in the people of Alberta.

00:40:30.260 So, hopefully he follows through.

00:40:31.260 I've heard a lot of, um, stories like that.

00:40:34.260 Like, my father, his co-workers moving to Alberta, believing, like, there is a future there.

00:40:40.260 And once they get there, they, they find themselves, like, unemployed, um, you know, high expenses.

00:40:47.260 Do you know anything about the Albertan people?

00:40:53.260 Not too much.

00:40:54.260 No.

00:40:55.260 Okay.

00:40:56.260 Exit's booming.

00:40:57.260 What do you think they should do in light of the current problems, the loss of jobs due

00:41:00.260 to things like the carbon tax and killed pipeline projects?

00:41:03.260 We should have got sheer.

00:41:05.260 If Albertans wanted to secede from Canada, would you support them?

00:41:08.260 Uh, probably not a great idea, to be honest.

00:41:11.260 A unified country is probably the best way to go.

00:41:13.260 I know they have quite a lot in terms of natural resources, but, yeah, probably not a great idea.

00:41:18.260 You know, judging by how Quebec tried and couldn't, Alberta would not be able to.

00:41:22.260 I don't think so.

00:41:23.260 Okay.

00:41:24.260 Why would they want to secede from Canada?

00:41:26.260 Right now, I don't think Trudeau is really willing to work with them.

00:41:29.260 I'm not the biggest fan of Trudeau, though, so I don't know.

00:41:32.260 The government should come, compromise with them.

00:41:35.260 I don't think the threat of seceding is going to move the Canadian government to do anything.

00:41:43.260 Would I support them?

00:41:44.260 It's up to them to make their own decisions, I guess, since I'm a Torontonian.

00:41:48.260 That being said, I wouldn't advise it, because why would you isolate yourself right like that in the middle of a country?

00:41:54.260 I would not support that, no.

00:41:55.260 It will leave them economically more vulnerable than they might be right now.

00:42:00.260 No.

00:42:01.260 Quebec wasn't able to do it, so I...

00:42:03.260 I don't see it.

00:42:04.260 Like, I...

00:42:05.260 Would it be possible?

00:42:07.260 You know, I mean, we've had that question with Quebec, and I almost think that Quebec has a more valid reason.

00:42:15.260 No, thanks.

00:42:16.260 No.

00:42:17.260 That would never happen.

00:42:18.260 No.

00:42:19.260 No.

00:42:20.260 Do you think they could become the 51st state of the US?

00:42:23.260 I think that would be awful if that was the case.

00:42:28.260 That would be virtually impossible, considering who is in power in the US right now.

00:42:33.260 Like Whoopi Goldberg, I don't say his name.

00:42:36.260 Probably not.

00:42:37.260 You don't think it could become, like, the 51st state or something like that?

00:42:40.260 No, but we should take Alaska.

00:42:42.260 You should take Alaska?

00:42:43.260 We should.

00:42:44.260 Really?

00:42:45.260 Yeah.

00:42:46.260 I guess anything's possible.

00:42:50.260 Hillary Clinton.

00:42:52.260 Go for it He Hop! 0.51
