Rebel News Podcast - DAILY Roundup ｜ Avi Yemini live from Israel, New York Times-Elon Musk feud, Jewish centre targeted in Toronto

00:00:00.000 Hi everybody, Ezra Levant here at Rebel World Headquarters.

00:00:18.520 We also have reporters across the country and even our Australian Bureau Chief, Avi Yamini,

00:00:23.680 is in Israel at the Gaza border where Avi believes the land invasion will come as soon as tonight.

00:00:31.900 Of course, it is already tonight in Israel. I think it's a seven-hour time zone difference.

00:00:37.100 So Avi is watching. He's waiting. In fact, he stands by. We're going to go to him right away.

00:00:44.540 I see there's rockets flying behind him. Go ahead. Switch over to Avi immediately.

00:00:50.200 I just saw him on the other screen. Rockets fly by. Avi, can you hear me?

00:00:56.620 Yes, I can hear you. And I'm not sure if you guys caught that on for the viewers, but we are right here.

00:01:03.960 And it is definitely picking up. Moments ago, we actually had to run for shelter because there's drones, Hamas drones that came here.

00:01:12.300 And as we've experienced, they're actually carrying munitions, which they dropped right next to us at one of the checkpoints in the early days of this conflict.

00:01:21.640 So things are certainly heating up on this border, Ezra, with the expected incursion into Gaza in just a matter of hours.

00:01:30.060 Because all our sources are telling us that it is happening today.

00:01:33.940 And in fact, Hamas just moments ago released two American hostages, which most people believe here.

00:01:40.200 That is, it's a stalling tactic, hoping the IDF doesn't actually go in tonight.

00:01:47.000 All of them believe that that's not going to work, Ezra.

00:01:50.020 So thanks. We went to very quickly. We didn't properly introduce you because literally, as I saw you on the preview screen, I saw four looked like rockets come by.

00:02:00.380 And I wanted to capture that for viewers, but I think we missed it by a second.

00:02:04.100 Just let's back up for one second. Tell us where you are exactly.

00:02:08.840 I see the Israeli flags behind you. I see a tower of some sort.

00:02:12.640 Where are you? How close are you to the border? And what is next to you? What's just outside the frame?

00:02:20.020 Yeah. So we are right now the closest you can get to the Gaza border.

00:02:25.420 It's the edge of Sderot. 600 metres that way, where the rockets are coming from, that direction.

00:02:32.060 That is Gaza. That's the Gaza border.

00:02:34.040 A little further ahead is Gaza City, the capital.

00:02:40.260 This exact spot behind me is where terrorists came through two Saturdays ago, where they marched up this road alongside me.

00:02:50.020 And butchered, hunted and butchered, maimed, you know.

00:02:55.020 Oh, sorry, there's military personnel coming in.

00:02:59.540 Shalom.

00:03:02.140 Shabbat shalom.

00:03:03.300 What is it?

00:03:05.780 Oh, we can't be here now.

00:03:06.940 We're being told that it's too dangerous to be here now.

00:03:12.060 So we might move this, the open space.

00:03:17.260 Hold on, wait a second.

00:03:18.600 The open space.

00:03:19.260 So we'll move closer to the shelter.

00:03:21.000 Is that?

00:03:23.040 Oh, on that side.

00:03:24.440 On that side, this side here.

00:03:25.960 Okay, yeah, yeah.

00:03:27.620 Shalom.

00:03:27.940 So they're just moving us along from this side of it.

00:03:42.420 They're saying we're open to sniper targets.

00:03:48.260 There's snipers obviously on the other side.

00:03:50.100 You can see here.

00:03:53.320 Hold on.

00:03:55.240 We'll come around here.

00:03:57.240 Ezra, you can, I can hear you.

00:03:58.380 Yeah, I can see you and we can see you clearly and the connection is excellent.

00:04:02.040 So he's moving you for your own safety.

00:04:03.800 Sniper fire, I believe it, by the way.

00:04:06.680 Oh, yeah.

00:04:07.000 Oh, we've just, we've just escaped drones here.

00:04:10.400 So I would say, and the thing you've got to understand, Ezra, we'll go, go, go, watch

00:04:16.020 your back.

00:04:16.780 Come here.

00:04:17.780 We'll go here closer to the, close to the bomb shelter.

00:04:21.920 Just before we came on, we had to escape a drone attack.

00:04:26.340 So, Mazer?

00:04:27.900 Yeah, yeah, all good.

00:04:28.980 Thank you.

00:04:30.500 The soldiers are here.

00:04:33.800 They're, you know, they're happy for us to be here.

00:04:35.380 They just don't, they want to make sure this is a military zone.

00:04:39.400 So there's no mainstream media here.

00:04:42.680 They've all fallen right back.

00:04:45.320 And the only people here are a handful of alternative media, which we've basically formed a group.

00:04:52.500 There's an Aussie here and there are more people that cover wars in general from Ukraine or

00:04:58.560 whatever, but we've really created a group to, you know, there's some sort of protection

00:05:02.420 in numbers and really experienced guys.

00:05:04.980 But the mainstream media has moved right away from here because it obviously is, this is

00:05:09.320 the closest you can get to what we're going to see tonight.

00:05:13.500 Wow.

00:05:14.020 Well, you know what?

00:05:15.080 I've told you this personally, but let me say it to you publicly.

00:05:19.040 Your safety is paramount.

00:05:20.620 There's no story that's worth getting shot over.

00:05:24.000 So I know you will take care of yourself and our cameraman, Benji, as much as is possible

00:05:29.780 in a war zone.

00:05:31.240 I mean, you are in a war zone.

00:05:32.920 Tell me what is expected.

00:05:36.300 I have this terrible question, which is Gaza is a very dense urban environment.

00:05:41.980 There are some fields and whatnot, but it's, I fear the door-to-door apartment building to

00:05:50.000 apartment building urban combat is not well suited to tanks.

00:05:55.740 You know, F-35 jets are the most modern fighter jets in the world.

00:05:59.620 Israel has them. 0.74

00:06:00.860 That doesn't help you when you're going door-to-door.

00:06:03.380 Hamas has had 18 years where they have had total control of Gaza.

00:06:07.680 They have tunnels, they have booby traps, they have snipers, as you were just warned about.

00:06:12.680 I'm worried that the invasion of Gaza will be a terrible cost for, I mean, I hope it inflicts 1.00

00:06:24.080 a terrible cost on the Hamas terrorist group, but I'm worried that it'll inflict a terrible 0.94

00:06:27.960 cost on Israeli soldiers and that that cost will be enormous.

00:06:34.720 And I mean, I suppose that's what all wars are like.

00:06:36.780 But given that you're going to have, you know, you've got two enemies there.

00:06:41.780 You've got the Hamas terrorists, and then you have the mainstream media who are going

00:06:45.700 to lie about everything the Israeli army does.

00:06:49.080 I suppose an invasion has to happen, but how does Israel mitigate the damage and the casualties 0.99

00:06:55.880 to its own troops?

00:06:56.960 I'm very worried about that.

00:06:59.580 Yeah, you're right, Ezra.

00:07:00.900 Look, I think nobody's lying to themselves, and that's probably why it's taken so long.

00:07:05.480 I think this is almost two weeks since the attacks.

00:07:08.600 You know, it will be two weeks, because by the time they go in, it'll be, it's eight now.

00:07:13.500 We're not expecting that.

00:07:15.140 That is a red alert.

00:07:16.200 Grab the thing.

00:07:17.460 So there's rockets coming this way.

00:07:20.580 Come, come, come, come.

00:07:21.680 Come, come.

00:07:23.300 Come, come.

00:07:25.120 Coming in.

00:07:25.840 Here we go.

00:07:28.060 Coming our way.

00:07:29.020 Now, this is the bomb shelter.

00:07:35.120 Is it come on me?

00:07:36.400 Yeah.

00:07:36.840 So the bomb shelter is actually the synagogue, the local synagogue, which is empty now.

00:07:42.260 As you can see, the only other people here, besides the military, are other alternative media.

00:07:48.200 The mainstream media, you know, probably in a much safer spot than this.

00:07:54.020 But I think it's important for the world to see what's actually going to happen here tonight.

00:07:58.260 Because the only other media that's going to get a shot on it will be coming from Al Jazeera,

00:08:02.600 from the other side, on well-planted cameras to cut exactly the narrative that they're trying to portray.

00:08:10.140 But, yeah, nobody's lying to themselves.

00:08:12.760 Nobody, everybody understands that this is going to be an extremely dangerous incursion.

00:08:20.560 But every single, and this is the first time I've been talking about it for a few days,

00:08:24.180 this is the first time I've spoken to every Israeli, doesn't matter from the left, from the right,

00:08:28.700 everybody agrees that no matter the cost, they have to go in.

00:08:32.780 Because the cost of not going in, they witness to the outcome of that is, they know what that cost is.

00:08:40.380 So they believe in their army and they believe in the last two weeks of preparation.

00:08:44.360 And everybody's praying for them and hoping that this is the success.

00:08:48.060 And for them, the success is to wipe Hamas out. 0.98

00:08:51.480 Yeah.

00:08:52.600 And I suppose this is a foolish question to put to you, but I'm thinking long-term. 0.95

00:08:58.540 Let's say Israel goes in, destroys a lot of the Hamas leadership, kills a number of Hamas terrorists. 0.56

00:09:06.580 And there are, I've seen estimates of 20,000, you know, full-time terrorists, let alone people who help and aid in the bank.

00:09:15.520 Let's say that the bulk of them are decimated and the bulk of the infrastructure is destroyed.

00:09:20.760 What's the long-term future for Gaza?

00:09:23.660 Because Israel occupied it until 2005 and then gave it back.

00:09:28.380 And unless Israel were to occupy it on a permanent basis, which I don't see that as feasible, 0.93

00:09:33.880 how does it not revert to this if not under Hamas, under a different terrorist group?

00:09:39.140 How is this dealt with in the long term?

00:09:41.560 Or is that a problem for another day?

00:09:44.900 Yeah.

00:09:45.360 Look, I think that's a question a lot of people are asking.

00:09:47.740 But at this moment, people, I think locals are saying, let's push that off to later.

00:09:54.120 Let's get rid of the problem now.

00:09:55.760 And the problem is Hamas. 0.79

00:09:58.360 They feel like, you know, I don't know.

00:10:00.480 You can speculate.

00:10:01.340 Apparently, maybe they want to get the Palestinian Authority to take control of Gaza too.

00:10:06.780 You know, better the evil you can work with than the absolute evil that perpetrated some of these, you know,

00:10:13.740 some of the most horrific crimes this nation has ever seen, especially in numbers and some of the barbaric actions that took place literally in the community we're standing in now.

00:10:24.600 So I think people's focus right now across the country, whether it's civilians or military or even politicians we've spoken to, 0.97

00:10:33.020 is we have a short-term mission, and that is to cut the head off the snake, get rid of Hamas. 0.85

00:10:39.360 I think Hamas is nervous. 0.98

00:10:41.580 Israelis are nervous.

00:10:43.000 Israel's nervous.

00:10:43.700 And obviously, there's this border here.

00:10:46.560 And most people are expecting once this border opens, once the incursion starts, Hezbollah in the north is going to try escalate it so that it draws some troops there as well.

00:10:59.380 So you're going to have, you have at the moment, 300,000 reservists.

00:11:04.500 Currently, we can come out.

00:11:06.700 It's all good.

00:11:07.160 But so this is the biggest operation Israel has ever tried to come. 0.87

00:11:18.800 We'll go back to that spot here.

00:11:21.100 This is the largest operation, especially from the standpoint of the manpower.

00:11:27.020 We've never seen that many.

00:11:28.140 And Ezra, just so you know, they got 150% response in reserve up calls.

00:11:34.800 So meaning, when they called up 100,000 reservists, 150,000 came, and they refused to leave.

00:11:43.440 So while everyone knows that the cost is going to be high,

00:11:50.140 while everyone understands, and nobody's living in a fantasy here, people get,

00:11:58.660 and look, this is a nation that's also been at war several times.

00:12:02.020 They've never, they're shocked to the core about what they witnessed on these streets behind me,

00:12:06.500 but in front of me, sorry, but war they've seen.

00:12:10.220 Now, this is going to have to be a war of proportions that they haven't seen,

00:12:14.620 and they're going to have to win in a way that they've never sort of won in Gaza before.

00:12:19.160 They've gone in a few times since 2005, since the disengagement.

00:12:24.520 But the operation that has to come out now is going to be something no one's ever witnessed before.

00:12:32.640 And I think it's clear that Israel's nervous.

00:12:36.780 People believe it has to happen no matter what.

00:12:39.800 But Hamas is also nervous.

00:12:41.260 It's no, it's no, it's, you know, it's no shock that they've released two hostages hours before it's rumored that Israel's going in.

00:12:50.480 And I believe that they're trying to stall, and most people here, most of the soldiers obviously talking to us off the record,

00:12:55.760 are saying it's a stalling tactic that won't work because there is no way the government cannot go in there,

00:13:03.300 even from a political perspective, because absolutely every single Israeli we speak to,

00:13:09.980 everyone across the board is saying that they need to enter Gaza and clear it out.

00:13:15.280 Yeah. Now, you use the analogy of cutting the head off the snake, and I think that's a good one.

00:13:20.480 I think of the seven-headed hydra, the mythical creature that when you cut off one head, two more sprout back.

00:13:26.920 But to stay with the analogy, the head of the snake is not in Gaza.

00:13:32.480 It's in Qatar, in the city of Doha, where the Hamas leadership lives in the Four Seasons Hotel 0.96

00:13:38.980 with the protection and the blessing of the dictatorship of Qatar.

00:13:42.560 And that's the head of the snake.

00:13:46.320 I mean, sure, they have their lieutenants and their, you know, their middle management of the terrorists on the ground in Gaza.

00:13:54.320 But to truly cut the head off the snake, it would be taking out the leadership in Qatar. 0.73

00:13:59.880 Now, Antony Blinken went to Qatar last week, earlier this week,

00:14:03.900 and he, as far as we know, at least didn't publicly demand that they do anything,

00:14:09.320 didn't demand that they kick out the leadership, didn't demand that they arrest them, didn't do anything.

00:14:15.420 Actually thanked Qatar for, I think the exact word Antony Blinken used was,

00:14:21.780 we appreciate you helping to negotiate for the hostages.

00:14:24.980 So I, part of me thinks if you, you know, you can deal with the snakes, the nest of snakes on the ground in Gaza,

00:14:33.840 but the head of the snake is safely a thousand kilometers away.

00:14:41.160 Look, I agree with you.

00:14:42.500 Although I think if you take out all his foot soldiers, how valuable is he going to become to Qatar?

00:14:48.080 He'll probably become a bargaining chip, which they'll throw under the buses as fast as they need.

00:14:55.340 Look, I see that his power is only as long as he actually rules this place.

00:15:00.080 So I do, I understand what you're saying and I agree,

00:15:04.040 but I think, you know, going into Qatar and taking and doing that is probably more dangerous for regional security and safety

00:15:14.860 than dealing with the problem here in the backyard, which, you know, the IDF can do.

00:15:21.300 And like you said, at most likely a very high price.

00:15:26.240 Now, the U.S. has the largest warship ever built.

00:15:30.860 There are most modern aircraft carriers just off the shore there.

00:15:35.880 And I'm not sure if the second aircraft carrier is yet in position, but if not, it will be shortly.

00:15:41.640 That's an enormous proportion of the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet.

00:15:46.880 And those are the carriers themselves.

00:15:49.140 And they're accompanied by a variety of other support ships, missile launching ships, missile defense ships.

00:15:55.040 One of those U.S. ships was attacked by various drones by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, apparently.

00:16:06.600 What is the purpose of those aircraft carriers, do you think?

00:16:11.240 Do you think it's to dissuade Hezbollah from firing 100,000 missiles into Israel?

00:16:19.460 And how would they dissuade them?

00:16:20.920 I mean, do you think that those aircraft will be deployed?

00:16:23.880 I can't imagine them being deployed over Gaza.

00:16:26.540 What will those aircraft carriers do? 0.84

00:16:30.660 Yeah, look, I can't imagine them being deployed either over Gaza or even potentially Lebanon.

00:16:36.780 If anything, I think they're there to persuade to stop any – as a show of strength to deter, you know, the real backer to all this, the inciter to all this, Iran. 0.97

00:16:51.200 And it's a show of force to say to anyone that wants to step in and use this as an opportunity to grow this into something bigger and beyond the self-defense, Israel's right to self-defense, that the Americans will – are there and ready.

00:17:08.940 And they're not going to do what they did in Ukraine and they're actually going to step up and stand up.

00:17:14.500 And at the end of the day, you've got to give credit where credit is due.

00:17:18.640 You know, I don't think you need boots on the ground here.

00:17:20.720 No one's calling for boots on the ground.

00:17:22.080 But I think if America wants to – rockets behind us – America wants to show that they are actually the all-powerful that Biden claims they are.

00:17:35.880 They're going to actually have to show that by standing by their allies like their allies stand by them or have stood by them forever.

00:17:44.800 Tell me what you're hearing and what you're seeing behind you.

00:17:49.760 I saw a bit of a flicker of light.

00:17:51.340 So you're seeing that there's more rockets from Gaza?

00:17:53.600 Come on.

00:17:54.100 Come on.

00:17:54.440 We've got to go in.

00:17:55.160 Come on.

00:17:55.660 We've got to go.

00:17:58.200 This is what it's like here at the moment.

00:18:01.480 So I think there's rockets in there and artillery being – returning fire.

00:18:06.600 But that's what it's like at the moment.

00:18:09.900 And it's really – you know, we've been here – we've been in this area for a couple of days now, really watching it.

00:18:18.320 And it's certainly escalating.

00:18:20.620 So it is preparing.

00:18:22.000 You know, it's been a guessing game for all of us, including the soldiers on the ground.

00:18:28.140 But I dare say we are hours away from the ground incurred.

00:18:33.620 All right.

00:18:34.220 Well, listen, it's great to catch up with you.

00:18:35.900 Stay safe.

00:18:37.100 Go into that bomb shelter as much as necessary. 0.67

00:18:45.120 I'm glad you're on the ground there.

00:18:47.060 I'm frankly a little bit nervous about your safety.

00:18:50.500 I know you're wearing the bulletproof vest and the helmet that we crowdfunded for you.

00:18:54.180 So that's really the precaution to take if you're there.

00:18:58.100 I mean, I hope you'll stay close to the bomb shelter there. 0.99

00:19:02.500 And I don't think you should go into Gaza.

00:19:04.440 I don't think you were planning on doing that.

00:19:07.500 Sorry, is there anything else you're hearing or you want to say?

00:19:10.780 Oh, no, that's it.

00:19:11.540 I just want to thank all the viewers who have supported us and made this possible.

00:19:14.140 You know, everything from the helmets to the vest to the flights to the accommodation and everything.

00:19:20.600 Yeah.

00:19:20.780 So anybody that wants to watch and follow along from the front line in real time, the URL, probably put it on the screen there, the truthaboutthewar.com.

00:19:30.500 And thank you.

00:19:31.840 You know, I can see the Internet has followed the mainstream media and denouncing Israel, even when it's nobody else would accept the horrific kind of attacks that Israel faced only two weeks ago.

00:19:44.060 I remember, Ezra, when you called me, when we spoke about me doing this mission, you know, I said to you, I give Israel two days because the whole world, roughly everybody was shocked by the images we witnessed of, you know, terrorists marching into civilian populations, going house to house, butchering people.

00:20:03.600 And as, you know, the days came through, we heard worse and worse testimony and footage of the barbaric acts from the, you know, the raping of women, the beheading of children, all these, you know, the burning of families alive.

00:20:17.860 Nobody else would accept it.

00:20:19.300 But I told you at the time that the media will give Israel probably a two-day, three-day window.

00:20:25.940 And that's why we need to get here, because in the world, including everybody on Twitter, everybody on Facebook, and my feed are full of, you know,

00:20:32.960 people that are in the safety of their home, who are, you know, obviously watching too much of the mainstream media, not getting the upside of the story,

00:20:42.380 that are basically denouncing Israel for exercising their right, that you would want your country to exercise if somebody invaded your country and killed your family, raped your daughter, kidnapped them.

00:20:56.620 So I appreciate all the viewers that have helped make this possible at thetruthaboutthewar.com.

00:21:02.920 Obviously, we can't do it without them.

00:21:05.740 Yeah.

00:21:06.100 Well, thank you very much.

00:21:07.480 And thanks to Benji, your courageous cameraman.

00:21:10.280 And I know that he has a vest and helmet as well.

00:21:13.820 And we see him in some of the clips that you send.

00:21:17.140 And he's doing a great job too.

00:21:19.180 So the both of you, please stay safe.

00:21:20.700 And we'll look forward to the updates as you post them, either directly to Twitter or we do have that compilation page,

00:21:27.900 thetruthaboutthewar.com.

00:21:29.660 And if you want to chip in to help cover Avi's costs, including the costs of his protection, you can do that at that website.

00:21:35.640 Stay safe, my friend.

00:21:36.420 And thanks for the update.

00:21:38.480 Thank you, Ezra.

00:21:39.460 All right.

00:21:39.900 There you have it.

00:21:40.400 Avi Yamini, our chief Australian correspondent who has been in Israel this past week or so.

00:21:45.840 And it's his belief based on his sources and the chatter he hears that the ground invasion of Gaza will happen tonight.

00:21:55.240 And it's already almost 8.30 p.m. in Israel, if I have my time zones correct.

00:22:04.680 I don't know if we recorded it, but literally in the moments before we started that segment,

00:22:10.040 I have a screen in front of me of the different images.

00:22:13.460 And we were going to go to that feed, and I saw several rockets being fired.

00:22:17.340 I don't know if we captured that on a recording, but that was quite something.

00:22:23.060 And you could see and hear some of the other noise in the background, skirmishes before what is expected to be the main invasion.

00:22:32.900 And I saw a tweet confirming what Avi said, that Hamas has apparently released two Americans.

00:22:39.820 I understand that there are actually dozens of Americans.

00:22:44.300 I'm not sure why they're called detainees as if they were lawfully arrested.

00:22:49.140 They're probably women or children. 0.99

00:22:51.160 Hostages is probably a more accurate word, but I'll accept it.

00:22:56.420 Hamas says it is releasing two American detainees held hostage since the October 7 terrorist attack is the tweet that I see.

00:23:06.360 All right.

00:23:08.280 Well, that's pretty sobering.

00:23:11.400 And I am not a veteran.

00:23:15.520 I'm not a soldier.

00:23:17.440 I have never been in the armed forces.

00:23:20.720 I don't know Israel's military situation intimately.

00:23:24.640 But I'm quite worried that an invasion of an urban setting that is booby trapped and tunneled and snipers and likely has a lot of professional military advisors from Iran on the ground. 0.94

00:23:40.320 And that although it's sort of a Mad Max style, you know, low tech army in some ways, they also have some very high tech weapons from Iran and likely from China.

00:23:51.760 And I think it was shown that the terrorists who invaded Israel for that horrible day two weeks ago, they actually had some American weapons, which likely came from what America left behind in Afghanistan.

00:24:06.360 Incredibly, you know, tens of thousands of weapons, thousands of vehicles and even over a hundred aircraft, including helicopters.

00:24:18.860 America abandoned.

00:24:20.020 And an enormous amount of weaponry to the Taliban, some of which has surely made its way into the hands of Gaza.

00:24:28.940 And I saw reports.

00:24:30.140 I don't know if they were corroborated that some of the weapons that have been moved to Ukraine have wound up there as well.

00:24:35.160 I haven't seen that corroborated, but I've seen reports of it.

00:24:37.800 So I'm nervous about a trap.

00:24:42.120 I think of the movie Stalingrad, which is based on the story of Stalingrad.

00:24:49.440 Enemy at the Gates is one dramatic retelling of Stalingrad.

00:24:57.340 A million casualties.

00:25:04.320 And I'm worried about that for several reasons.

00:25:06.840 First of all, I'm worried about the casualties.

00:25:08.760 Second of all, we know that Hamas uses Israeli civilians as targets and uses Palestinian civilians as human shields.

00:25:18.400 They actually want or like when Palestinian civilians are killed because it's a PR victory for them. 0.99

00:25:25.560 That's why they lied about the hospital strike.

00:25:28.380 They claimed that it was an Israeli missile that hit the hospital.

00:25:32.000 They claimed 500 dead.

00:25:33.620 In fact, it was no Israeli strike.

00:25:36.860 It was a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist rocket that went astray.

00:25:43.100 Thankfully, it did not have 500 dead.

00:25:45.280 It exploded in the parking lot.

00:25:46.780 But it was an enormous PR coup for Hamas because for 24 hours or 12 hours, they convinced the world's media Israel killed 500 civilians.

00:25:59.680 And by the time the truth got its boots laced up, the lie had run around the world millions of times, including by so-called trusted media who claimed to double check and fact check and vet things.

00:26:17.120 They didn't.

00:26:17.560 They were the worst of it.

00:26:19.400 I saw today, if you go to the New York Times Twitter homepage, just Twitter slash NY Times, you'll see that Elon Musk, in a very cheeky way, has removed the verified symbol from the New York Times Twitter account.

00:26:37.080 I mean, he's such a cheeky troublemaker in his own way, isn't that quite something?

00:26:42.940 You just put that back on the page, if you please.

00:26:46.760 I mean, yeah, you can show this, but we can actually go to the New York Times.

00:26:52.580 Yeah, just NY Times.

00:26:54.080 Yeah, just show that.

00:26:57.800 You'll see it.

00:26:58.540 Oh, they do have their verified check back on.

00:27:01.520 OK.

00:27:02.680 But their blue check.

00:27:04.160 I think they had a yellow check.

00:27:06.200 It's been changing throughout the day.

00:27:08.280 Do you want to show with that doctor?

00:27:10.020 Yeah, show that tweet just for a second.

00:27:13.800 You'll see for a moment there, Elon Musk put a Pinocchio emoji.

00:27:18.140 And then I checked it and there was no, no, nothing there.

00:27:25.760 And then you just checked it and there's a blue.

00:27:27.400 Like all morning, there's been this wrestle over what the icon will be next to the New York Times.

00:27:32.940 I mean, you've got to hand it to Elon Musk.

00:27:35.200 He's very funny.

00:27:37.300 Hey, Olivia, I just tweeted a tweet about open source, how Twitter is an open source news network.

00:27:46.860 Do you want to go there just for a second?

00:27:47.980 And it's just my own Twitter account.

00:27:49.820 And I want to read from it just for a moment.

00:27:53.520 Scroll down a little bit.

00:27:54.520 Yeah, that one right there.

00:27:57.820 Yeah, just open that up for a second.

00:28:00.460 And I'll read a little bit of this.

00:28:01.720 I'm not going to read the whole thing.

00:28:05.940 Elon Musk himself commented on this.

00:28:09.340 And I don't know this guy at all, Stephen Stanofsky.

00:28:11.340 He says, this thread below offers a view on why the media has had so much difficulty with the news yesterday compared to the way online worked.

00:28:19.060 It is an important perspective that I wanted to build on.

00:28:21.300 It should not come as a surprise that the competitor to the media yesterday is also called open source.

00:28:26.600 OS news has all the properties of open source that we are familiar with from software.

00:28:31.380 That means all the benefits.

00:28:32.980 It also means all the negatives as viewed by incumbents.

00:28:35.700 Much like proprietary software, the flagship media outlets view news gathering through the lens of proprietary source.

00:28:41.220 Only in this case, the source generally means access to people, information, and data that is not available to lay people.

00:28:47.080 Since the post-Watergate era, reporting has meant knocking on doors, cold calling, and most of all, having relationships with established sources and experts on topics.

00:28:55.360 Conversely, these established sources and experts rely on these relationships to spoon out information and views in an effort to shape a narrative.

00:29:03.540 This is a routine process game that has only become more institutionalized.

00:29:06.920 So what he's saying is the legacy media has their sources, but the sources run the legacy media as much as the other way around.

00:29:16.140 Let me keep reading just a little bit more.

00:29:20.240 I'll skip down a little bit.

00:29:23.380 In the past, before open source, stories would run.

00:29:26.360 Information would be provided by sources close to whatever was happening in the world, and then that was the established narrative.

00:29:31.680 In today's world, it's not just that everyone anywhere can post their thoughts, personal experiences, videos, photos, or anything that may or may not contribute.

00:29:39.700 It's also that there's a community of people willing to test the veracity of that information, and then there's a community willing to compare the results of those tests and so on.

00:29:47.440 It becomes essentially impossible for the news to be defined by a private conversation between a well-placed source and a reporter.

00:29:53.500 I won't read too much more, but I think this is interesting.

00:29:58.480 It's looking at Twitter as open source versus the New York Times, say, as proprietary, if you know the difference.

00:30:05.720 This reality extends even further to the vast array of sensors from satellite imagery to maps, witness recordings, historical information and records, and an incredible collection of data sources, many provided by the government itself.

00:30:16.820 These sources provide more inputs to a wide range of community testing the validity of stories.

00:30:20.660 Finally, add to this that there's often are true experts on events that are no longer bound by organizations involved who are willing to lend their opinions.

00:30:30.320 So scroll down just a little.

00:30:31.520 I don't want to read all of it.

00:30:32.480 I don't want to go on too long.

00:30:34.460 A little bit more, a little bit more.

00:30:38.200 Some long for the days of the 6 p.m. newscast.

00:30:40.900 This is most certainly a rose-colored view of the past.

00:30:43.560 Those who recall this era remember being soothed by the packaging of the news.

00:30:46.940 In hindsight, what we were watching was not a careful synthesis of fact-checked news, but the opinions and interpretations of a small number of people with very limited expertise and even more limited information.

00:30:57.540 It is only events like weapons of mass destruction and others recently that have shown the limits of this process in the face of modern information data analysis.

00:31:05.880 I kept asking myself yesterday.

00:31:07.460 So he's talking about the story about the hospital.

00:31:09.980 How different the weapons of mass destruction story would have been if it happened 20 years later?

00:31:15.940 How would a generation of events have unfolded?

00:31:18.700 Okay, and then this is perhaps the most important part.

00:31:21.080 I know I'm reading a lot of this, but don't you find it an interesting way to look at Twitter as open-source news?

00:31:27.180 It's easy to cry misinformation, but that is not what's going on.

00:31:30.480 And here's what's so interesting about open-source news.

00:31:34.760 Misinformation is when actors deliberately falsify what is going on.

00:31:38.360 Sharing something and having an opinion as just a random person isn't that.

00:31:44.260 It is misinformation for institutions that trade on trust and truthfulness to put forth information that has not been vetted by a community or has not used all available sources.

00:31:53.580 So he's basically saying that the New York Times, by putting out a story how Israel did it without vetting it, that was misinformation.

00:32:01.180 And then he says, news gathering has come far enough now to know that the news is not simply what one actor said off the record, confirmed by a person down the hall from that actor.

00:32:11.740 The actors themselves have to deal with open-source information.

00:32:14.480 All right.

00:32:15.120 I won't.

00:32:16.080 You know, frankly, the whole thing is interesting, but I don't want to read the whole thing.

00:32:19.640 I think he's right, and he makes the point that incumbents like the New York Times don't like this open-source competitor because if you can do the news faster, better, more interesting than the New York Times, you're a threat to them two ways.

00:32:38.740 First of all, people are going to go to Twitter for the news instead of going to the New York Times.

00:32:46.380 Second of all, they're going to expose the New York Times as a bunch of liars.

00:32:52.460 So those are two reasons why incumbents don't like open-source.

00:32:57.100 And I see, was it today or yesterday, Elon Musk had another tweet about something called NewsGuard, which is a group of industry insiders with government funding whose job is to rate the accuracy of different news sites.

00:33:14.000 And they basically go around, and news sites that are part of the narrative, they give the thumbs up to.

00:33:18.960 And those that are not on the narrative, they give down thumbs to.

00:33:23.380 Yeah, so Elon Musk tweeted this yesterday night, said, disband NewsGuard.

00:33:33.460 Anything with a name that sounds like it came out of an Orwell novel should never be trusted.

00:33:36.700 Scroll up.

00:33:37.220 Look at what he was replying to.

00:33:41.040 A little bit.

00:33:42.640 So it's a bit of a back and forth here.

00:33:45.260 Elon, Jimmy Wales, advises NewsGuard, which is knee-deep in applause to get governments to bankrupt alternatives.

00:33:53.380 NewsGuard worked with the European Union on new disinformation code.

00:33:57.460 Its business model has disinformation compliance services with censorship laws.

00:34:01.440 And I know this because we fought with NewsGuard.

00:34:03.300 Now, scroll up a little bit.

00:34:04.740 So a little bit more up.

00:34:07.500 And then, okay, then click back because he replied to this.

00:34:11.520 He said, scroll up a little more.

00:34:14.020 So he said, what a scam.

00:34:17.200 NewsGuard should be disbanded immediately.

00:34:18.760 And then Wayne Dupree weighed in about how NewsGuard targeted him.

00:34:26.300 He's a black conservative.

00:34:28.300 And then Elon Musk replied, disband NewsGuard.

00:34:31.560 Anything with the name should never be trusted.

00:34:34.120 So it's a whole back and forth.

00:34:35.180 And I think I saw Tim Poole in the conversation as well.

00:34:39.220 Can you click that back?

00:34:40.400 Oh, there it is.

00:34:41.320 NewsGuard gave us a strike because we ran five stories out of nearly 5,000 that quoted Trump.

00:34:46.260 They claimed that reporting on Trump's statements was irresponsible because we should be fact-checking him instead, and Trump was wrong.

00:34:53.500 They now claim we don't correct errors because we didn't respond to their false claims last month.

00:34:57.680 The, quote, nutrition label they wrote contained so many errors they had to repeatedly correct it and have refused to correct additional false statements while claiming we don't correct errors despite doing all the time.

00:35:07.820 Meanwhile, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Moore ran fake stories out of Gaza and get 100%.

00:35:12.480 And that's exactly right.

00:35:14.920 NewsGuard, and it's an atrocious name, isn't it?

00:35:19.680 They basically are opinion moderators.

00:35:24.680 And that's what YouTube did to us.

00:35:26.880 YouTube did it and NewsGuard did it.

00:35:29.020 If we report on someone they don't like, Donald Trump, a vaccine skeptic, they say you didn't rebut them.

00:35:38.780 You didn't fact-check Donald Trump.

00:35:41.880 You didn't fact-check the, well, we're reporting what they said, and we may or may not report this or that or this other source.

00:35:48.220 But reporting on what Donald Trump has to say is not the same as saying it.

00:35:54.020 You're in the news business.

00:35:55.380 Someone says something.

00:35:56.180 You report on it accurately.

00:35:58.240 You can have an opinion as to whether or not it's right.

00:36:00.920 But simply reporting on people that NewsGuard and YouTube don't like is not an error.

00:36:07.900 That is not a factual error.

00:36:09.600 It is not factually incorrect to say, hey, guys, Donald Trump made this statement today.

00:36:15.820 Now, Donald Trump's statement might be factually incorrect, so fact-check him.

00:36:19.820 But to say to journalists you cannot even report anything, they took this approach to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

00:36:27.420 They said the only way you can report on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was to criticize him.

00:36:34.340 That's the NewsGuard approach.

00:36:36.980 So that goes to the open source information.

00:36:43.100 All right.

00:36:43.660 Well, it's 1.36, and we've had a good talk about things.

00:36:46.440 I want to take a short break to show you some clips, some ads of what Rebel News is up to.

00:36:51.380 And then we're going to come back because I've got some more videos to show you.

00:36:53.820 So here, take a look at some of what's cooking at Rebel News.

00:37:02.660 The wellness company's spike support formula is an all-natural supplement to help people do just that.

00:37:09.680 It was created by cardiologist Peter McCullough and his expert team of doctors to help the people experiencing effects from COVID and the you-know-what.

00:37:19.300 Go to twc.health slash rebel today.

00:37:27.420 I'm Dr. Peter McCullough.

00:37:37.540 The FDA wanted to block the Pfizer dossier for 55 years.

00:37:42.120 50% of the lives at that time could have been saved.

00:37:45.320 We were at about 250,000 deaths.

00:39:21.320 We've got Rebel News Live, which is coming up next month in Calgary.

00:39:28.260 Do we have an ad for that?

00:39:29.040 Because we want to show that ad for sure.

00:39:35.400 Got a lot of events.

00:39:37.400 We're promoting Ben Shapiro's visit, but that's not a Rebel event per se.

00:39:42.020 We're promoting the concert with Tamara Leach.

00:39:45.280 That's going to be super fun, but that's not a Rebel event per se.

00:39:48.120 But we do have some actual Rebel events.

00:39:50.240 We've got what we call Rebel News Live, which is a full day in Calgary.

00:39:55.460 All sorts of speakers.

00:39:58.960 For example, Billboard Chris is going to be there.

00:40:02.840 Sheila Gunn-Reed, I'll be there.

00:40:05.280 I don't have the list off the top of my head.

00:40:07.920 Some of our friends from True North will be there.

00:40:10.980 Harrison Faulkner.

00:40:13.220 You know, I just don't have the list off the top of my head.

00:40:15.360 But I think we have an ad on standby for that.

00:40:18.760 And then we have a cruise.

00:40:19.660 Did we play a cruise ad?

00:40:22.140 We have a cruise ad.

00:40:23.480 So we're sailing into the Caribbean in March of 2024.

00:40:28.440 And Tamara Leach will be our special guest on that one. 0.99

00:40:31.160 So here, take a quick look at this ad.

00:40:32.780 I just want to show you some other stuff we've got going on.

00:40:35.560 Take a look.

00:40:36.680 It's summertime now, but the cold Canadian winter will be here soon enough.

00:40:41.060 So I am planning a week-long Caribbean cruise in March with your favorite Rebel News personalities,

00:40:48.320 including myself, Sheila Gunn-Reed, Alexa Lavoie, David Menzies, and many more,

00:40:53.300 plus the woman of the year, Tamara Leach.

00:40:56.380 Want to come with us?

00:40:57.760 We're going to sail out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida on March 23rd.

00:41:01.600 Our first stop will be the beautiful Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas, then on to Otorios, Jamaica.

00:41:08.020 Then the Cayman Islands, and finally Cozumel, Mexico.

00:41:12.380 Talk about a great winter getaway.

00:41:15.620 It's going to be beautiful and relaxing and a little bit luxurious.

00:41:19.260 We're going on Holland America Line, so you know it's going to be good.

00:41:22.200 But the real fun is that we're bringing some of the most interesting thinkers and doers on the cruise with us

00:41:28.100 for a series of special Rebel News-only events on the cruise ship when we're at sea,

00:41:32.960 including panel discussions where you can get intimate and interactive with some of the smartest public policy minds around.

00:41:40.140 It's not just Rebel News staff.

00:41:41.780 It's newsmakers we love to interview on our shows.

00:41:45.000 That's what makes this cruise so special.

00:41:47.020 Over the course of the week, you'll have countless opportunities to talk one-on-one

00:41:50.900 with your favorite Rebel News personalities in a casual setting.

00:41:55.100 We'll have private Rebel News-only receptions

00:41:57.600 and a series of panel discussions with a question-and-answer session where you can really dig into the issues.

00:42:03.100 And this is my favorite part.

00:42:04.300 Every night, we're going to have dinner together, and we're going to rotate tables at dinner each night

00:42:09.160 so you'll be with a different Rebel celebrity every night and your fellow Rebel enthusiasts.

00:42:14.660 So, for example, one night, you'll have dinner with me.

00:42:16.940 The next night, you'll have dinner at Tamara Leach's table and so on. 0.99

00:42:20.540 How much fun is that?

00:42:22.160 I can hardly wait.

00:42:23.180 If you like cruising already, well, this is truly something unique.

00:42:27.640 And if you've never been on a cruise ship before, this is the perfect way to start

00:42:31.580 with a group of like-minded Rebels from coast to coast.

00:42:35.520 You can find out all the details, including the different cabin prices, at rebelnewscruise.com.

00:42:42.480 I know you're going to look back on it as the vacation of a lifetime.

00:42:46.680 We've reserved a limited number of Rebel News cabins,

00:42:49.640 so book yours today at rebelnewscruise.com.

00:42:55.060 We'll see you there.

00:42:57.600 Oh, there you go.

00:42:58.280 Thanks very much for playing that, Olivia.

00:43:00.900 So that's going to be good.

00:43:02.280 And, you know, those cruises are so much fun.

00:43:04.600 It's a real cruise.

00:43:05.660 When you're in a port, you go ashore and you do whatever.

00:43:08.440 Your time is your own.

00:43:10.160 But when the ship's at sea, the boring part, that's when we have those seminars.

00:43:14.220 We take over the ship's theater.

00:43:15.520 We have a Q&A session, and that's going to be great.

00:43:17.580 Oh, and we have dinner together every night, so every night you sit with a new celeb.

00:43:20.800 That's going to be great.

00:43:24.300 So back to the news.

00:43:25.520 It was quite something to see Avi there.

00:43:27.620 And just even in our chat, he had to go several times into the bomb shelter.

00:43:31.460 And by the way, in Sterak, which I've been to, which is right near the Gaza border,

00:43:35.620 they have hundreds of bomb shelters just around town because it's so close to Gaza.

00:43:41.440 They only have seconds before they have to run into this bomb shelter or that bomb shelter.

00:43:45.840 For example, every bus stop is sort of a kind of a bomb shelter.

00:43:50.060 They build it in close so you can duck in there.

00:43:52.780 So I really hope he's okay.

00:43:54.940 There is literally no video that is worth getting hurt over.

00:43:59.320 But you can see he's taking advice and following it, which is good.

00:44:07.640 You know, I want to show you something that I saw earlier today that irritates me.

00:44:14.240 Irritates the wrong word.

00:44:15.320 It makes me afraid for Canada.

00:44:18.620 You know, we talk about this war, and it's interesting because there's a lot of things about it that are interesting.

00:44:26.000 I mean, it was an attack on Israel that was sort of like a 9-11 attack, a sneak attack, barbaric, targeting citizens, had a massive death toll, 1,400 dead, something like that, 200 hostages in Gaza.

00:44:41.600 The hostages, it's just so barbaric.

00:44:43.700 The torture before they kill people.

00:44:46.840 And the fact that they're boasting, it's truly, it's even worse than the Nazis in that way because they downplayed what they were doing, even to this day.

00:44:55.140 The Nazis claim, oh, no, no, they're Holocaust deniers.

00:45:00.060 They're saying, no, no, those were not death camps, et cetera.

00:45:03.100 Here, Hamas literally live-streamed their brutality.

00:45:09.220 Dozens of foreign citizens are hostage.

00:45:14.720 It's, I fear, a domino for a larger domino falling that could make other regional dominoes fall.

00:45:21.480 Iran backs both Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in the north.

00:45:29.360 Iran itself is building a nuclear bomb.

00:45:33.360 There's Turkey, which is saber-rattling. 1.00

00:45:35.720 Russia says it's now having a patrol with a long-range, high-speed missile.

00:45:41.600 A lot of terrible things are happening.

00:45:47.960 I don't think the United States has ever deployed troops to Israel, and I don't think Israel has ever requested it.

00:45:55.840 And so it's not like other ground deployments.

00:46:00.540 Israel's not in NATO.

00:46:01.720 So if Israel is attacked, it doesn't have the same legal imperative that America and Canada respond as if they were attacked.

00:46:10.880 Article, I think it's five, of the NATO treaty says all for one and one for all.

00:46:15.860 If any country's attacked, all the rest have to respond. 0.74

00:46:19.300 Israel's not in NATO.

00:46:20.280 I don't believe Canada gives any aid to Israel, and certainly the idea of Canadian troops is a non-starter.

00:46:31.600 I don't even think, I mean, Canada has a few troops in Latvia or something, but we don't have anything to offer anyways.

00:46:37.980 My point is that it affects us as foreign affairs do.

00:46:45.880 I feel like we're closer to World War III than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

00:46:52.700 But as Avi says, Israel's been to war before, and there will be casualties, but the country's united, and they have to do what they have to do for themselves.

00:46:59.120 And I think he's right.

00:47:00.160 But what scares me as a Canadian is what's happening in our country, in our country of Canada, because you have Nazi-style rallies on the street where people are saying, in various degrees of plain language or coded language, they're saying the same things as Hamas. 0.99

00:47:21.860 They're saying, kill the Jews from the river to the sea, kill the Jews. 0.90

00:47:26.240 Sometimes they're actually saying those words. 1.00

00:47:28.260 Sometimes they're literally flying the flags of banned terrorist groups.

00:47:33.500 The Nazi party is not actually a banned terrorist group in Canada.

00:47:38.720 I don't think the Nazi party exists anywhere, actually.

00:47:42.600 And a Nazi flag is not illegal. 0.96

00:47:45.400 Of course, it's an extreme bad taste.

00:47:47.580 It's the sign that you may be a Nazi. 0.66

00:47:50.260 But even being a Nazi is not a crime in Canada.

00:47:54.120 Even saying Nazi things is not a crime.

00:47:58.260 But there's a list of terrorist entities in Canada that are criminal organizations.

00:48:05.120 And the criminal code says you can't participate, facilitate, instruct, or harbor those terrorist groups.

00:48:12.220 Those are the four big categories.

00:48:15.400 So instruct is pretty clear.

00:48:17.380 Harbor.

00:48:17.700 But when you take a terrorist flag to a terrorist rally to praise the terrorist group and support the terrorists, are you participating?

00:48:27.120 Are you facilitating?

00:48:27.660 Here's a guy with a flag of a terrorist group.

00:48:30.860 And he's not hiding his identity.

00:48:32.280 He's proud of what he's doing.

00:48:33.460 And he just happened to have that flag kicking around.

00:48:36.700 Who has that flag?

00:48:38.200 That flag's not easy to get.

00:48:39.720 And there's another flag in Mississauga, a Taliban flag.

00:48:46.080 Who is in Canada with a Taliban flag?

00:48:48.760 And what else are they doing?

00:48:50.660 Imagine the brazenness of showing up in public with your Taliban flag because you think now is the time. 0.99

00:48:58.440 Yeah, there it is there.

00:48:59.420 That's a big Yukon Excel.

00:49:07.220 That person's trying to block cameras. 0.90

00:49:11.720 Trying to block the filming.

00:49:13.360 That lady was trying to block the filming for a second. 1.00

00:49:18.720 One of the people in the trucks has their face covered.

00:49:21.600 Oh, yeah, they're bringing out the umbrella to try and block people from filming.

00:49:29.420 Yeah, that's an Antifa protester.

00:49:32.980 Antifa has allied with Hamas to stop things from being filmed.

00:49:38.080 That's their tactic.

00:49:42.620 Yeah, so that's what worries me.

00:49:44.820 Because Canada is not used to terrorists.

00:49:48.860 In the phrase of Senator Dandrand 100 years ago,

00:49:53.700 we're a fireproof house far away from flammable materials.

00:49:56.740 We haven't had a tough day in our lives.

00:50:00.560 I mean, I suppose there was the War of 1812.

00:50:03.040 But, okay, in the last two centuries, we have not had a war.

00:50:07.440 Yes, we did send soldiers to World War I and World War II and the Boer War, actually, and Korea.

00:50:13.880 And we did send troops to Afghanistan.

00:50:15.720 It's true.

00:50:16.360 We have peacekeepers.

00:50:17.360 We used to have peacekeepers around the world.

00:50:18.800 We don't have too many these days.

00:50:21.380 But our home and native land has been peaceful.

00:50:24.380 There's never been a war in Calgary or Vancouver or Edmonton or Winnipeg.

00:50:32.160 I mean, there was, I suppose, the Real Rebellion.

00:50:35.980 We were a fireproof house far away from inflammable materials.

00:50:39.860 And now we have brought thousands of people who are terrorist supporters,

00:50:45.420 who are chanting in support of today's Nazis.

00:50:50.940 And they're not just doing so in plazas.

00:50:53.860 They're not just doing so outside the Israeli embassy.

00:50:57.440 Today, in fact, it might still be going on right now, but an hour and a half ago,

00:51:02.580 they were in front of a Jewish community center in Toronto.

00:51:06.940 Here, play that clip for a second.

00:51:08.140 So, this is in downtown Toronto, Spadina and Bloor Street.

00:51:13.920 I can't.

00:51:16.960 Bye.

00:51:19.240 I can't.

00:51:33.100 Bye.

00:51:33.600 Thanks.

00:51:45.320 What are they saying?

00:51:46.260 What do they want now?

00:51:48.880 I couldn't make it out.

00:51:50.820 But those are pro-Hamas supporters. 0.58

00:51:54.840 I didn't hear that chant.

00:51:56.060 And that is right outside the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Center in downtown Toronto,

00:52:05.320 or midtown, I guess it might be called, Spadina and Bloor.

00:52:08.280 It is not an Israeli asset.

00:52:12.600 It is not an embassy.

00:52:15.420 It's a Jewish center, but it's open to every Torontoni.

00:52:18.760 It's like the YMCA.

00:52:20.520 That stands for the Young Men's Christian Association.

00:52:25.300 But you don't have to be Christian to go to the YMCA.

00:52:29.240 There's a gym there.

00:52:31.520 There's swimming pools.

00:52:32.440 There's meeting rooms.

00:52:33.340 There's a restaurant.

00:52:34.880 It's a community center.

00:52:36.780 There's a kindergarten there.

00:52:38.180 I think there's a daycare there.

00:52:39.740 There are some Jewish things there.

00:52:41.180 That's for sure.

00:52:42.580 You don't have to be Jewish to go there.

00:52:46.120 They're protesting there because it's Jewish, not because it's Israeli.

00:52:50.600 It's not Israeli at all. 0.94

00:52:52.820 Miles Nadal is a Canadian.

00:52:54.580 I forget who he is.

00:52:55.900 I think he was some donor.

00:52:58.300 I'm just going to Google his name.

00:53:00.880 A Canadian-born international entrepreneur.

00:53:04.380 You can go to milesnadal.com.

00:53:06.520 He's got his own website, apparently.

00:53:12.980 Go to milesnadal.com.

00:53:14.780 He's an international entrepreneur and philanthropist.

00:53:16.840 He passionately believes in championing people who pursue their dreams, dare to dream.

00:53:24.580 He's got a big philanthropy section, community, children's welfare, health care, education.

00:53:32.360 He just happens to be a Jew.

00:53:34.080 And so he supports Jewish things.

00:53:37.140 Yeah, go ahead and put that up.

00:53:38.120 Look, he's just a guy.

00:53:39.580 He's born in Canada.

00:53:41.140 And he supports Jewish things.

00:53:43.600 And, I mean, there he is.

00:53:46.500 He gives to the Kiwanis Club in Toronto.

00:53:50.500 He gives to the Shulik School of Business in York.

00:53:53.540 He gives to a school in Miami for some reason.

00:53:56.400 He gives to the Cancer Center.

00:53:59.200 He gives to the big Toronto Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, which is, again, named after the Jews, Mount Sinai Hospital.

00:54:08.860 That's because, you know, 100 years ago, hospitals wouldn't hire Jewish doctors.

00:54:12.460 So the Jewish doctors started their own hospitals.

00:54:14.560 Across North America, if you ever see the Mount Sinai Hospital, there's a bunch of them.

00:54:19.560 Those are hospitals that 80, 90, 100 years ago were, yeah, I think she can take a dent out. 1.00

00:54:24.800 Those are hospitals that were set up by Jewish doctors who weren't allowed to practice in the regular hospitals.

00:54:29.820 And they're still often regarded as excellent hospitals.

00:54:35.120 So basically a Jewish philanthropist who gives money to some Jewish causes, but you don't have to be Jewish to go to Mount Sinai.

00:54:44.660 You don't have to be Jewish to go to York University.

00:54:48.200 So he gives a million, probably, I don't know, I don't know, never met him, maybe he gives $100 million away.

00:54:53.820 But because he's a Jew and because he supported this Jewish community center that everyone in the world can go to, Hamas was targeting him and that place.

00:55:05.740 Because they're not against Israel, full stop.

00:55:10.140 They're against Jews. 1.00

00:55:13.880 They want to kill the Jews. 1.00

00:55:17.380 That's in the Hamas charter. 0.98

00:55:19.140 Maybe we should go through the Hamas charter now. 1.00

00:55:21.800 You know, let's do that another day.

00:55:23.400 Let's take a day and really go through the Hamas charter. 0.94

00:55:27.020 The Hamas charter is the constitution of the Hamas terrorist group.

00:55:30.440 Let's go there for one second.

00:55:31.760 Let's go there for, just Google Hamas charter.

00:55:35.780 Just type that in.

00:55:38.520 And check, click on, click on the version from the, like there's different translations of it.

00:55:49.180 I want to use one that people will acknowledge.

00:55:53.400 Is neutral.

00:55:55.360 Like I don't want, like the Israeli government obviously translates it.

00:55:58.080 Let's go for the Federation of American Scientists, which is a left-wing organization.

00:56:04.340 So they're not going to, I mean, I could show you the Israeli government one, but a conspiracy theorist would say, oh, that's not accurate.

00:56:13.320 So just do a word search.

00:56:16.240 You can see the word search for the word Jew.

00:56:21.560 For our struggle against the Jew is extremely wide-ranging and grave, so much so that we will need all the loyal efforts we can wield. 0.99

00:56:32.520 There's 25 examples.

00:56:33.820 Go to the next one. 1.00

00:56:34.500 The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them, until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees. 1.00

00:56:42.920 There is a Jew hiding behind me. 1.00

00:56:46.360 Let's go to the next example. 0.97

00:56:49.380 And the Jews will not be pleased with thee. 1.00

00:56:51.540 You know, they're not saying Israel, are they?

00:56:55.680 In order to face the usurpation of Palestine by the Jews, we have no escape from raising the banner of jihad. 1.00

00:57:02.440 This would require the propagation of Islamic consciousness among the masses and all local Arab and Islamic levels.

00:57:08.780 The next one.

00:57:09.280 The Nazism of the Jews does not skip women and children.

00:57:15.980 The Jews occupied holy Jerusalem in 1967.

00:57:19.980 Israel, by virtue of being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims. 1.00

00:57:28.260 You know, if you want a different translation, go find it yourself.

00:57:31.680 My point is they're not hiding it.

00:57:33.080 And so when Hamas, in fact, let's open that one more time. 0.85

00:57:40.060 So there were 25 instances where the word Jew was there, but only 16 or 14 instances of the word Israel.

00:57:49.660 Or, let's see, is America in there?

00:57:51.380 No, America's not in there.

00:57:52.880 And you don't have to go back to it.

00:57:53.960 Yeah, close that off.

00:57:56.920 So Hamas isn't hiding it. 0.93

00:57:58.400 Remember the other day I read that piece by Harold Jacobson of The Independent, who was saying, who was talking about the terror attack 20 years ago in Bali, when Islamic extremists, terrorists, killed a bunch of Australians at a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia.

00:58:21.820 And all the liberals in the media said, oh, yeah, that's the one, choking in the stink of our own self-hatred.

00:58:28.220 It was such a heavy-duty piece.

00:58:30.060 I remember it 21 years later.

00:58:34.140 And he basically said, how dare you change the rationale for these murders?

00:58:42.360 The murderers themselves said they did it for their own reasons.

00:58:47.140 How dare you supply your own reasons instead?

00:58:51.820 Why not let them explain why they did what they did?

00:58:57.700 And he said the worst form of this liberal reaction is to actually blame the victim, even if the victim is yourself.

00:59:09.340 He said that was the incredible thing when he visited the death camp in Dachau.

00:59:13.400 He said, you're confronted with so much evil against the Jews, to make the world make sense, you have to say, well, we must have done something to deserve this.

00:59:22.060 We must have done something. 0.91

00:59:23.960 And the Nazis had the concept of self-hatred, where they said, look, even the Jews hate themselves, so surely they're evil.

00:59:31.220 Harold Jacobson's point 21 years ago was, do not substitute your own rationale for what your murderers say they're doing. 0.97

00:59:44.720 Hamas says 25 times they're out to kill the Jews.

00:59:48.220 25 times the word Jew appears in their charter, more than the word Israel does. 0.99

00:59:55.720 They believe in killing Jews anywhere and everywhere. 0.98

00:59:58.660 It's in their constitution. 0.51

01:00:00.440 And Joe Biden just announced he's going to give $100 million to Hamas in Gaza.

01:00:11.640 You might think I'm misspeaking there.

01:00:14.320 Can you find that clip?

01:00:16.400 Do you know the one I'm referring to?

01:00:23.180 You know what?

01:00:23.900 I won't make you search for it because I don't know how to properly describe how to find it.

01:00:28.280 What's that?

01:00:28.820 Yeah, sorry.

01:00:31.120 It was a Biden spokesman on TV saying Gaza has made promises.

01:00:39.840 You know, Hamas had made promises not to use the money or something.

01:00:43.760 Biden, Hamas. 0.94

01:00:48.800 I'm trying to find it.

01:00:50.100 You know what?

01:00:50.480 I need to describe it better for you.

01:00:52.080 There was an official of the Biden administration who went on TV and said, well, they've promised not to use this new $100 million for terrorism.

01:01:02.060 They promised.

01:01:02.780 I'm not going to, I need a better description.

01:01:08.080 I'll find it.

01:01:10.520 But it's incredible that even now.

01:01:12.940 I think I found it.

01:01:22.820 The Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

01:01:26.060 The president even acknowledged that it's...

01:01:28.240 All right.

01:01:29.900 I can't find it.

01:01:30.580 I'll have to look for it.

01:01:33.140 Yeah, I can't find it.

01:01:34.380 Sorry to take your time in live TV there.

01:01:37.120 Maybe that's him.

01:01:37.740 Yeah.

01:01:37.980 Is that him there?

01:01:42.100 Let's just take a listen.

01:01:43.080 I'm not sure if that's the one.

01:01:44.060 Let's take a listen.

01:01:48.580 And when I see what's happening to the country I served to defend and protect, and now we're sitting here watching millions of illegals come in, of which thousands of them would want. 0.99

01:02:00.080 I'll look forward and we'll come back to it.

01:02:02.120 But there's an administration official who's been doing the rounds, CNN, et cetera, saying we're going to give $100 million to Gaza.

01:02:12.220 And someone says, how will you ensure that doesn't go into the hands of the terrorists, given that Gaza is run by Hamas?

01:02:18.560 And he says something like they're going to promise.

01:02:21.820 I'll find it again and we'll come back with it.

01:02:23.800 I wasn't...

01:02:24.380 I don't know how to describe it for a search well enough.

01:02:27.440 So, yeah, I'm worried for Israel because I'm sympathetic to Israel, and they were dealt a 9-11 style blow, and it's terrible, and they're dealing with Stone Age barbarians worse even than the Nazis. 0.64

01:02:42.560 And I have an affection and an ethnic kinship to Israel as part of it, of course.

01:02:48.860 They're the only democracy in the region.

01:02:50.240 That's part of it.

01:02:51.620 And any human being of any race or religion or ethnicity should be appalled by the torture, murder, rape, brutality against civilians, deliberate, and cheering that and killing infants. 1.00

01:03:04.360 Killing infants because they are of a certain race or ethnicity or religion is...

01:03:08.720 There's nothing lower. 0.90

01:03:09.420 There's nothing more barbaric.

01:03:10.440 So anyone of conscience should be opposed to that, and I am.

01:03:15.440 But what scares me is in our own cities, in Toronto and Mississauga and Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, you are seeing supporters of this new Nazism on the street chanting their support, not just at Israeli embassies, but at a Jewish kindergarten in downtown Toronto.

01:03:36.760 And I checked, and that is in the district of Christia Freeland.

01:03:41.180 Christia Freeland's district is called University Rosedale.

01:03:45.940 And that Jewish community center is in the heart of her district, and not a word from her about it, not a word.

01:03:54.740 That's what scares me.

01:03:57.740 Because when you have thousands of people coming out to support Hamas, and some of them even have their own terrorist flags just kicking around the house.

01:04:07.080 And when they chant from the river to the sea, which means kill every Jew in Israel, and when they support the Hamas charter, which says kill every Jew, you don't think some of them mean it?

01:04:19.240 And even if they don't mean it, how terrifying to be a Jewish kid in that kindergarten. 0.97

01:04:29.420 That video was taken by some mom, sounds like a Jewish mom, who was exasperated and didn't know what to make of it. 0.84

01:04:35.100 And just last week, all these liberal MPs went to an anti-Semitism conference and said, oh, never again.

01:04:44.160 And the official Jews clapped and said, thank you for coming to our conference and telling us you like us.

01:04:50.240 We'll keep donations coming to the Liberal Party.

01:04:53.200 And then on the streets, you have, what are we looking at there?

01:05:00.740 Is that outside the anti-Semitism conference?

01:05:02.440 Yeah, so here's, even at the anti-Semitism conference in Ottawa, this is, that looks like it was filmed from inside.

01:05:10.440 I don't know, it's filmed outside.

01:05:11.720 So those are anti-Semitic protesters at a conference about anti-Semitism.

01:05:16.620 So it wasn't an Israel conference.

01:05:19.280 No Israelis in there as far as I know.

01:05:21.100 Maybe there was by chance.

01:05:22.980 But there was not an Israel conference.

01:05:25.320 Nothing to do with the state of Israel.

01:05:27.240 It's about anti-Semitism.

01:05:28.380 And a bunch of Hamas supporters go there because they know there's Jews inside.

01:05:33.440 Maybe hiding in the attic.

01:05:38.240 That's the state of Canada.

01:05:40.560 And I'm more worried about that than I am about Israel, because Israel is at least awake to these problems. 0.98

01:05:45.840 It's 205.

01:05:51.400 I see a super chat from Ableist SL.

01:05:53.800 The fact checkers should face legal ramifications for mass defamation, such as nasty prison sentences, fines and asset seizures, and hell execution might be required as prison won't stop most of them.

01:06:03.240 I disagree.

01:06:03.840 I think they should just be exposed in the open source journalism to be liars.

01:06:09.100 I don't think we want to put people in jail, or worse, for having the wrong opinion.

01:06:15.700 That's sort of what they do to us.

01:06:21.660 That's what I'm worried about.

01:06:22.740 I think Avi actually made a tweet that captured some of these rockets being shot behind them.

01:06:34.020 Do you want to show that, and then we'll close on that?

01:06:38.800 So here's a video.

01:06:41.540 I think this might have been what I saw just before we put them on the screen.

01:06:44.560 Take a look.

01:06:44.980 This is from Avi.

01:06:45.600 Yes, I can, and I'm not sure if you guys brought that on for the viewers, but we are right here, and it is definitely picking up.

01:07:09.320 Moments ago, we actually had to run for shelter, because there's drones, Hamas drones that came here, and as we've experienced, they're actually...

01:07:18.380 Yeah, so I can see what happened there.

01:07:20.480 Right next to us.

01:07:21.620 That, you can see the camera on the tripod that was filming Avi as we talked to him, and then our cameraman, Benji, had his cell phone camera going, too,

01:07:32.960 and those were the rockets that I saw just before we put Avi on the screen.

01:07:40.640 What do you think of that?

01:07:42.560 It's 2.07 Eastern time.

01:07:44.040 Thank you for joining me today for the live stream.

01:07:47.640 On my show tonight, I'm going to go through Joe Biden's speech last night, which was incredibly disappointing,

01:07:56.000 unpresidential, and exuded weakness.

01:08:00.000 And you know the old saying, it's a meme.

01:08:04.060 Find the meme if you can, Olivia.

01:08:05.540 Let's see how quick you can find it.

01:08:07.160 You know the one?

01:08:08.520 Strong men make good times.

01:08:12.720 Good times make weak men.

01:08:16.760 Weak men make tough times.

01:08:21.280 Tough times make strong men.

01:08:24.260 It's a circle, isn't it?

01:08:27.080 I was born in 1972.

01:08:28.880 I'm 51 years old.

01:08:30.820 And I grew up with a bit of a knowledge of not the previous generation, the boomers, but the one before that, the greatest generation, as it was dubbed.

01:08:43.080 Ordinary people born 1915, 1910, 1920, who went by the million to save the world from Nazism and from Japanese imperialism, from Italian fascism.

01:09:02.320 They went by the million to save the world from Nazism and from Chinese imperialism, and they went by the million and saved us.

01:09:11.360 And do we have that?

01:09:12.780 Yeah, put that.

01:09:13.400 I mean, you've seen this meme many times in different ways.

01:09:17.020 Hard times make strong men.

01:09:20.940 Strong men create good times.

01:09:22.400 Good times create weak men.

01:09:23.540 Weak men create hard times.

01:09:25.380 We are on the fourth cycle here. 0.94

01:09:28.760 Weak men.

01:09:29.260 Joe Biden. 0.96

01:09:33.080 Justin Trudeau.

01:09:35.340 Rishi Sunak.

01:09:37.880 Emmanuel Macron. 0.99

01:09:38.840 Weak men. 1.00

01:09:39.460 Weak men. 0.98

01:09:44.500 Angela Merkel and now Schultz. 0.87

01:09:46.760 You know, people didn't like Trump because they didn't like his personality, his temperament, his New York brashness, his mean nicknames, his mean tweets.

01:10:05.800 And he offended them aesthetically.

01:10:11.400 But he was a strong man who made good times.

01:10:16.760 The bad guys were in retreat or were hiding.

01:10:22.360 Russia didn't try anything in Ukraine.

01:10:24.640 China didn't try anything in Taiwan.

01:10:27.060 North Korea pulled in its claws.

01:10:30.940 Israel and its Arab neighbors started to make peace.

01:10:34.600 United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, even Saudi Arabia was warming up.

01:10:40.920 He took out ISIS.

01:10:46.520 He took out a top commander of Iran, Soleimani.

01:10:50.520 The world was safer, freer, more prosperous, more peaceful, more secure, more stable, more certain.

01:11:02.880 And under Biden, you can't even say under Biden.

01:11:08.620 Does anyone think that Biden is running America?

01:11:12.960 You cannot think that.

01:11:15.300 You cannot.

01:11:15.960 If you say you believe that, I don't believe you.

01:11:18.720 If you believe that Joe Biden is running the United States of America, you are not a serious person.

01:11:25.620 Now, the only thing that terrifies me more is, God forbid, he were to pass away or resign for reasons of cognitive decline.

01:11:36.500 Or maybe he falls down the stairs again.

01:11:40.480 Under the U.S. Constitution, there's an order of succession.

01:11:43.600 And number two is Kamala Harris. 0.99

01:11:49.920 Maybe the stupidest person ever doing happen at the office of vice president. 0.99

01:11:54.060 I shouldn't say that categorically because I don't know a lot of vice presidents. 0.99

01:11:59.260 You know, people made fun of Dan Quayle because he spelled a word wrong once. 1.00

01:12:03.440 But I don't think he was that stupid. 0.99

01:12:05.260 I think that just sort of stuck to him for the rest of his life. 1.00

01:12:10.700 That was Bush's vice president, George Bush Sr.

01:12:13.600 The third in line is the Speaker of the House of Representatives who they're quarreling over in America right now.

01:12:26.300 Oh, well, thanks for joining me.

01:12:30.180 We're going to try and do our bed.

01:12:32.200 What do you do in a crisis like that, like this?

01:12:37.480 An ordinary person.

01:12:38.680 What can an ordinary person do?

01:12:43.600 Well, the very basic thing is what Solzhenitsyn said.

01:12:48.760 I'm going to see if I can find a quote.

01:12:58.820 I can't find his exact quote, so I'll paraphrase him.

01:13:01.620 He said, it's not up to you to fight, but at least don't let the evil flow through you.

01:13:13.420 At least don't be part of it.

01:13:17.480 I think that's something everyone can do.

01:13:20.400 Don't be part of it.

01:13:21.460 Don't be, don't accept it.

01:13:23.260 Don't tolerate it.

01:13:24.220 Don't spread it.

01:13:24.860 Don't say ditto.

01:13:31.220 Show the Edmonton hate bridge.

01:13:35.160 The city of Edmonton, which is run by a former liberal MP, Trudeau MP named Amarjit Sohi, former Trudeau cabinet minister.

01:13:41.860 He refused to denounce Hamas, even in the hours after the atrocities.

01:13:48.980 And he's ordered that the bridge, the high-level bridge, be lit up in Hamas colors. 0.50

01:13:57.280 I'm sure if it were 1940, he would have a bridge lit up in the same colors for the Nazis. 0.86

01:14:11.020 Imagine being a Jew in Edmonton and your mayor says, we're going to celebrate Hamas.

01:14:21.560 It wasn't lit up for Israel.

01:14:24.320 It didn't light up that bridge in support of the 1,400 who were massacred by the terrorists, as far as I know.

01:14:31.800 If I'm wrong, correct me on that.

01:14:37.840 It's just astonishing.

01:14:40.640 What really worries me about this war is not the war.

01:14:44.740 It's the home front.

01:14:46.980 I think Israel can still handle itself.

01:14:49.580 I sure hope so.

01:14:50.340 But what about our own country and our values and our safety and our tolerance?

01:15:00.980 And I say this as a right-winger.

01:15:03.200 When you have people chanting for death to the Jews outside a Jewish kindergarten,

01:15:09.260 and the MP says nothing and the police do nothing,

01:15:11.820 even though it's a banned terrorist group under the criminal code,

01:15:16.140 we've got a problem in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary.

01:15:20.080 The problem is here.

01:15:21.380 The problem isn't just in Gaza.

01:15:24.240 On that terrifying note, let me thank you for joining us.

01:15:27.580 If you want to join me at 8 p.m. Eastern tonight on my show, The Ezra Levant Show,

01:15:31.000 you can subscribe by going to rebelnewsplus.com and clicking subscribe. 0.72

01:15:38.600 I'll go through Joe Biden's pathetic speech.

01:15:43.580 Until tonight, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, goodbye. 0.90

01:15:50.000 And keep fighting for freedom.

01:15:52.120 What evidence are you waiting for to see in the hospital explosion in Gaza

01:15:55.580 before you assign responsibility for that incident?

01:15:58.660 Obviously, the hospital explosion was a terrible, terrible thing.

01:16:05.620 We deplore the loss of civilian life, of innocence.

01:16:10.980 We are working with our allies internationally

01:16:16.680 to make sure that we can determine exactly what happened.

01:16:22.900 The protection of civilian life,

01:16:25.620 whether it's hostages being held by Hamas

01:16:28.740 or civilians in Gaza or elsewhere,

01:16:32.000 needs to be at the forefront of everything we do,

01:16:36.400 not just in the region, but as an international community.

01:16:39.180 And that is what our diplomatic efforts are focused on,

01:16:42.580 whether we're speaking to the leaders of Israel

01:16:45.660 or the Palestinian Authority,

01:16:47.940 whether it's my conversations with President Sisi

01:16:50.420 or the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

01:16:55.840 or any other leaders in the region,

01:16:58.640 the King of Jordan.

01:16:59.600 We are going to continue calling for peace

01:17:02.520 and calling for the protection of all civilian lives.

01:17:05.540 Thank you.
