00:00:00.000 Hi everybody, Ezra Levant here. What a pleasure to be here. I'm glad to be here for this live
00:00:18.280 stream. Often my colleagues, Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies sit here, but how can I stay
00:00:25.500 away because of the crazy things that have been happening over the weekend? I will talk a bit
00:00:30.960 about Justin Trudeau meeting with Ukraine's most senior Nazi advocate and Holocaust denier,
00:00:43.880 Andrei Melnick. Now you might be saying, Ezra, are you throwing that term around lightly? Calling
00:00:51.660 someone a Nazi, that's odious. That's defamatory. Don't do that. I know that Justin Trudeau calls
00:00:59.540 people Nazi very casually. He called the truckers Nazis. He calls basically anyone who opposes him
00:01:07.200 a Nazi. He's implied that anyone who met with Christine Anderson, the member of the European
00:01:12.420 Union, who visited a few months ago was a Nazi. I don't do that. I'm a Jew myself and I don't often
00:01:21.980 reach for the anti-Semitism word because I don't want to dull it by overusing it. There are some
00:01:29.780 anti-Semites in the world. I don't want to throw the word around all the time. It's like the boy who
00:01:34.780 cries wolf. You want to keep that word sharp like a rarely used knife. You don't want to dull it with
00:01:40.880 overuse because when you finally do encounter a Nazi, you need that word to have meaning. Justin
00:01:48.820 Trudeau profanes that word every time he calls a trucker a Nazi or a conservative a Nazi. So
00:01:56.580 I think he does that on purpose, by the way. I want to take just a couple minutes on the Nazi 0.85
00:02:05.260 because I'm going to do my whole show about it tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern. Justin Trudeau
00:02:11.020 went to Kiev on a surprise trip. It's not surprising in a way because Trudeau's not having a lot of fun
00:02:19.100 back in Canada these days. His special rapporteur resigned in disgrace. A new poll by Abacus shows only
00:02:26.960 20 percent of Canadians think he deserves to be reelected. And Abacus is a Liberal Party pollster.
00:02:33.460 Only 20 percent of Canadians, they say this is Abacus, only 20 percent think he deserves to be
00:02:39.840 reelected. If you're Justin Trudeau, of course you're going to fly on your private jet, a luxury
00:02:44.820 jet, to Europe and then show up in Kiev and give away half a billion dollars in cash
00:02:51.580 and be treated like a rock star. I mean, if you're going to give half a billion tax dollars
00:02:58.700 without a debate or vote in Parliament, whoever you're giving it to is going to make you feel
00:03:03.420 pretty good as opposed to in Canada where Trudeau is mocked and despised. Here's that poll by David
00:03:09.880 Coleto's Abacus. You can see the red bar there is, I think Justin Trudeau and the Liberals deserve to
00:03:15.820 be reelected. Only 20 percent of Canadians say that. 50 percent say it's time for a change. 31 percent
00:03:23.440 it's time for a change, but I'm not sure if there's a good alternative. But only 20 percent say no, no,
00:03:28.360 no. Trudeau deserves to be reelected. Let me just play quickly. Do you have that clip? It's in my posted,
00:03:34.360 my pinned tweet. I want to play for you a little bit of this Andrei Melnyk. I want you to know that
00:03:42.200 when I say he's Ukraine's leading Nazi, I'm not saying that as an insult, although it should be 1.00
00:03:47.800 insulting. I'm not saying that as hyperbole. He is the deputy foreign minister. And in this
00:03:55.240 extensive interview, he explains why the Nazis did not, in fact, do atrocious things to the Jews.
00:04:02.980 Ukraine's leading Nazi, Stepan Bandera, was not a bad dude. The Jews are lying about it. 1.00
00:04:10.840 The Jews and Poland and Germany and Russia are all lying about it. No, no, no. There was no 0.98
00:04:16.700 killing of the Jews. And the Jews are lying. And Stepan Bandera, the leading Nazi, was a good egg. 0.67
00:04:23.720 And he was saying this at the time as Ukraine's ambassador to Germany. So this is not a nobody.
00:04:30.700 When I say this is the leading Nazi in Ukraine, I mean, you can't get any higher on the pyramid than
00:04:39.060 this guy. But the thing about Germany is they're so sensitive to their Nazi past. They're actually
00:04:46.820 a liberal democracy in all ways except for one. When it comes to freedom of speech, they do not allow
00:04:53.640 Nazis. It's against the law to express support for national socialism. You cannot fly a swastika.
00:04:59.740 You cannot say Sieg Heil or Heil Hitler. You cannot promote Nazism. You can in Canada.
00:05:05.680 You can fly a Nazi flag and it'll be odious and people will shame you and scorn you as it should 0.99
00:05:12.300 be. But that's not actually a crime. In Germany, it is a crime. And here you have the Ukrainian 1.00
00:05:19.620 ambassador to Germany giving the most bold defense of Nazism that I think has been said since 1945.
00:05:30.720 Here, I'm just going to play two minutes. This is an excerpt from an extended pro-Nazi rant
00:05:38.920 that got Andrei Melnyk fired, created an international diplomatic incident. He was denounced by the Polish
00:05:47.820 foreign ministry, by the Israeli foreign ministry. And Germany said to Ukraine, either you take this guy
00:05:55.100 voluntarily have him resign or we are going to fire him and declare him persona non grata. We are going
00:06:04.260 to deport your Nazi. Come get your Nazi. Come take your Nazi back. And in fact, they did. This interview
00:06:11.500 was so shocking that Germany essentially fired him. They let Ukraine withdraw him as opposed to,
00:06:19.840 imagine, deporting a Ukrainian ambassador. They did Zelensky a favor by letting Zelensky take 0.54
00:06:26.840 the sky back. This is less than a year ago. Take a look.
00:06:29.000 It was, what you said. It was a massacre in Poland in the West Ukraine, which was
00:06:34.000 carried out by the Banderas. Yeah. And it was on the same way the same
00:06:38.160 massacre of Poland gegenüber Ukraine. That was not better.
00:06:42.160 It was a war. That was a war. That was a war. That was a war. That was a war. That was a war
00:06:46.160 a war. And so that was the Poles, also this Geschichte politisieren. Wir sind dagegen.
00:06:52.160 Aber hat Israel Unrecht? Israel, der Staat Israel, dass 800.000 Juden auch von Banderas Truppen 0.69
00:06:57.160 und Bandera umgehen? Also Israel, was heißt? Denken die sich das aus? Ich weiß nicht, was 0.58
00:07:01.520 sie sich ausdenken, aber wir reden über Bandera. Und wir reden über Bandera. Und die ganze
00:07:06.160 Welt erkennt an, dass Bandera an der Ermordung von hunderttausenden Juden beteiligt ist. 0.73
00:07:10.400 Nein, das stimmt nicht. Außer die Ukraine. Es gibt keine Belege, dass Bandera Truppen 0.83
00:07:16.220 hunderttausende Juden ermordet haben. Es gibt keine Belege. Das ist diese Narrative, dass die Russen
00:07:22.140 bis heute durchsetzen und das in Deutschland und auch in Polen und Israel auch unterstützen
00:07:28.560 können. Denken sich die jüdischen Gemeinden das alle aus?
00:07:30.760 Ich weiß nicht, woher sie diese Daten nehmen, aber ich bin bereit, auch mit den jüdischen
00:07:36.500 Gemeinden darüber sachlich zu reden, wenn sie wirklich nicht nur das wiederholen, was
00:07:42.760 wir seit Jahrzehnten hören. Es gab Flugblätter, als die Deutschen reingekommen sind nach
00:07:47.420 Reviv. Da hieß es, Volk, das musst du wissen. Moskowiten, Polen, Ungaren und Juden, sie
00:07:53.200 sind deine Feinde. Vernichte sie. Das musst du wissen. Deine Führung. Dein Führer, Stepan
00:07:58.520 Bandera. Was für Flugblätter?
00:08:01.840 Als die Deutschen gerade einmarschiert sind, da haben sie quasi an die Bevölkerung das verteilt,
00:08:06.460 die ja noch unter anderer Herrschaft dann da waren. Die haben sich ja mit den Deutschen
00:08:10.780 verbrüdert. Das ist doch ganz klar. Und ich frage mich halt, ich meine, ich verstehe...
00:08:18.000 Also ich werde dir heute nicht sagen, dass ich mich davon distanziere. Und das war's.
00:08:24.260 Ja, und das war's. Das ist ja deine Entscheidung.
00:08:26.600 Ja, das ist meine Entscheidung und das kannst du nicht verstehen, aber weil...
00:08:31.120 Ich verstehe nicht, wie man jemanden als Helden bezeichnen kann, der gleichzeitig Massenmörder
00:08:36.580 von Juden und Polen war.
00:08:39.580 Bandera war kein Massenmörder. Von Juden und Polen. Er war kein Massenmörder.
00:08:47.880 But he was.
00:08:51.340 That is the dictionary definition of Holocaust denial. 0.70
00:08:56.280 Stepan Bandera was the Nazi boss of Ukraine.
00:09:00.480 That interviewer was literally reading Bandera's leaflets as one of, what, 10,000 examples you
00:09:11.920 can give. It is a historical fact. In fact, I've actually never seen it denied this way.
00:09:20.200 Could you imagine that was the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany defending Nazis, saying the Jews,
00:09:29.600 I don't believe, I don't believe the Jews or the Poles or the Germans or the Russians.
00:09:34.740 It didn't happen.
00:09:37.120 The Holocaust didn't happen in Ukraine. 0.51
00:09:39.960 He didn't kill the Jews.
00:09:43.160 What the actual fuck?
00:09:47.940 That was Ukraine's ambassador to Germany.
00:09:51.580 You know that Germany, it's against the law to propagate Nazi narratives.
00:10:00.960 I frankly think that their laws are too strict.
00:10:04.480 I'm not a Nazi. In fact, I'm a Jew.
00:10:07.020 But I believe in freedom of speech.
00:10:09.780 I believe that bad ideas should be chased out by good ideas.
00:10:12.820 I believe that that interviewer just made Melnick look like what he is.
00:10:18.220 That's how you take on a Nazi, by being prepared, by having your arguments, by having your facts. 0.90
00:10:23.360 I think that Melnick was completely exposed there.
00:10:27.360 In Germany, what that ambassador said was actually a crime.
00:10:33.660 And I say again, I don't believe in criminalizing hate.
00:10:36.540 I think you debate it.
00:10:39.080 But Germany has its own laws.
00:10:41.980 So they basically said to Vladimir Zelensky, because this wasn't even a year ago.
00:10:46.980 They said to Zelensky, come get your Nazi or we're going to kick him out.
00:10:52.540 And Zelensky said, no, man.
00:10:55.380 And they said, come get him or we're going to kick him out.
00:10:58.860 And so Zelensky brought him back.
00:11:01.680 After diplomatic protest by Poland, Israel.
00:11:08.120 But he wasn't thrown away.
00:11:12.320 He was made deputy foreign minister.
00:11:16.060 And look at Andrei Melnick's tweet on Saturday.
00:11:22.020 How did I learn that Trudeau was meeting with Andrei Melnick?
00:11:26.480 He literally met Trudeau when Trudeau stepped off the train.
00:11:32.620 He literally toured Trudeau around the town.
00:11:37.140 But strangely, that wasn't mentioned by Trudeau or any of the regime media who were accompanying it.
00:11:44.960 It was mentioned by Andrei Melnick.
00:11:47.540 Welcome to Ukraine, Mr. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:11:51.240 You can see Trudeau at the train station.
00:11:54.860 You can see officials there.
00:11:57.400 And the guy shaking his hand is Andrei Melnick.
00:11:59.740 You recognize him from the podcast we just saw.
00:12:03.760 Scroll down a little bit.
00:12:07.080 So half a million views, thousands of interactions there.
00:12:15.880 Scroll up again, please.
00:12:17.720 Yeah.
00:12:18.300 So why wouldn't he tweet it?
00:12:20.020 He is being validated.
00:12:22.320 The Nazi Holocaust denier who was kicked out of Germany gets to meet with Trudeau.
00:12:30.780 And of course he's going to tweet that because it's validation.
00:12:35.220 It's exoneration.
00:12:38.200 Look, here's a liberal prime minister, very woke, very progressive, very human rights sensitive.
00:12:44.480 And he's shaking my hand and smiling with me.
00:12:47.400 And I'm going to tour him around town and he's going to treat me with respect.
00:12:50.880 I don't care what you Jews say. 1.00
00:12:52.860 I don't care what Germany or Poland or Russia says.
00:12:55.360 This guy is willing to whitewash me.
00:12:57.900 Of course I'm going to tweet it.
00:13:00.420 Strangely, Trudeau himself didn't.
00:13:02.100 Click on Trudeau's name handle there for a second.
00:13:05.800 And then just scroll down a few days.
00:13:11.060 Scroll down to June 10th because that's when he rolled into town.
00:13:16.680 And then, yeah, so there's Zelensky having a hug.
00:13:21.640 And they don't show him.
00:13:27.000 Scroll down a little bit more.
00:13:30.680 Yeah, they're talking about the plane they seized.
00:13:32.800 Okay, so go up.
00:13:33.620 So you'll see, if I'm not mistaken.
00:13:37.320 Okay, open on those pictures there.
00:13:40.780 That's, okay, I don't know who that is.
00:13:45.240 I don't see Melnick there.
00:13:46.840 Now that's not Trudeau.
00:13:47.860 That's Anita Anand, Canada's defense minister.
00:13:51.640 Who's obviously with a different group.
00:13:53.860 Yeah, my point that I'm making somewhat slowly
00:13:56.620 is that Justin Trudeau did not share a photo.
00:14:02.180 You tell me if you find one.
00:14:06.500 But he did not share a photo of him meeting with Andre Melnick.
00:14:13.760 Why not?
00:14:16.540 Did he think he could keep it a secret?
00:14:18.500 Andre Melnick wanted to tell the world
00:14:22.480 because Andre Melnick was having his reputation cleaned by Trudeau.
00:14:27.720 A Nazi sympathizer, Holocaust denier.
00:14:32.280 Is that from a Trudeau page?
00:14:36.260 Okay, so this picture was taken by Canadian press.
00:14:40.960 And this was in the Globe and Mail as well.
00:14:42.940 So there's Trudeau in front of some, I think it's a burnt out tank.
00:14:46.900 To his right, I believe that's Chrystia Freeland in the sunglasses.
00:14:52.160 And you can see Andre Melnick on the left there.
00:14:55.560 Like I say, Melnick was taking him around town.
00:14:57.600 Give me the caption of CP.
00:15:03.180 Can you show me the caption on the photo, if possible?
00:15:07.800 Because this photo was used in the Globe and Mail as well.
00:15:12.620 And they didn't, I read the entire accompanying story.
00:15:15.700 And I did not see him named.
00:15:17.740 So Trudeau, like, were they not curious who this man is,
00:15:23.700 who's greeting Trudeau, who's shepherding him around Kiev?
00:15:28.000 Like, it wasn't Zelensky who met Trudeau at the train.
00:15:31.780 It was this guy.
00:15:33.500 Did no one say, who's that?
00:15:35.540 Did no one say, what's his name?
00:15:37.300 Did no one say, did no one Google him?
00:15:41.620 Is there a caption on that?
00:15:43.220 Don't worry about it.
00:15:43.980 I have seen that photo.
00:15:45.580 So it was the photo tweeted by Mark McKinnon in the Globe and Mail.
00:15:51.760 My point is that the world, sorry, all the journalists knew.
00:15:59.860 Okay, so there it is.
00:16:00.900 So that's the caption.
00:16:03.700 Ukraine, Canada.
00:16:04.580 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
00:16:06.880 accompanied by Canada's Minister of Finance,
00:16:09.020 Christopher Freeland, write,
00:16:10.780 visits an exhibition of destroyed vehicles in Kiev, Ukraine,
00:16:13.600 Saturday, June 10th, from Valentin Ogienko of Post via AP.
00:16:20.260 So you'll notice that they name Trudeau and Freeland,
00:16:24.420 but they don't name Melnick.
00:16:26.880 And every photo I saw was silent on who that guy is,
00:16:32.500 because they know he's a Nazi Holocaust denier.
00:16:36.540 And Trudeau is pretty brazen about it, but they just, I don't know,
00:16:43.320 maybe they're afraid of being jailed by Vladimir Zelensky,
00:16:46.000 who's jailing journalists.
00:16:47.280 How about here?
00:16:48.460 Yeah, put that one up.
00:16:52.220 Exact same caption.
00:16:54.520 It's just another shot.
00:16:56.680 Yeah.
00:16:56.920 So they will not name him.
00:17:01.680 They're, maybe they're stunned that Trudeau would be hanging out with us.
00:17:06.640 Like, let me just tell you, this is not my judgment that he's unacceptable.
00:17:12.060 Imagine a diplomat being kicked out of a country.
00:17:15.520 When was the last time Canada kicked out a Chinese diplomat?
00:17:19.120 Or, you know, how often does it happen that you're kicked out?
00:17:27.560 Germany kicked this guy out because he was so odious,
00:17:31.200 and like I say, possibly criminal.
00:17:35.700 And total media blackout in Canada on him.
00:17:42.920 And I mentioned before that I'm Jewish.
00:17:44.940 I'm not just Jewish.
00:17:45.640 I'm sort of active as a Jew.
00:17:47.160 Maybe not so much these days, but about a decade ago,
00:17:50.720 maybe a little more,
00:17:51.440 I was on the board of the Canada-Israel Committee,
00:17:54.540 which is like a Jewish advocacy group, a lobby group.
00:17:57.840 It was later merged into a large thing called the CJA,
00:18:03.540 C-I-J-A, the Canadian Institute for Jewish Fairs,
00:18:08.840 or I forget it, Center for Israel and Jewish Fairs.
00:18:11.260 Like the big Jewish lobby. 0.85
00:18:13.620 Yeah, that's it right there.
00:18:14.580 So I was on the board of that when it was called the Canada-Israel Committee,
00:18:20.220 a bunch of little groups merged together.
00:18:22.360 So for a couple of years I was on the board of that.
00:18:26.000 And they tried to be bipartisan.
00:18:28.660 Like they tried to have some liberals and some conservatives,
00:18:31.060 so they weren't just shilling for one party or the other.
00:18:33.520 But why is CJA, which is all about fighting anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial,
00:18:41.440 why are they silent here?
00:18:42.540 Can you, you know how to do a search on Twitter from colon CJA?
00:18:51.160 No, I was thinking about the one where they condemned Christine Anderson.
00:18:55.400 I've taken up far too much time on this.
00:19:00.120 I'm going to go in depth on my show tonight.
00:19:02.180 That's exactly right.
00:19:03.180 That's exactly right.
00:19:04.920 Yeah, so click on, you know, that's the Simon Wiesenthal one,
00:19:08.900 but there's also a CJA one.
00:19:10.980 Yeah, yeah, that one right there.
00:19:12.720 If you can expand on that one.
00:19:14.800 Yeah, open there.
00:19:15.640 Perfect.
00:19:16.100 Thank you.
00:19:16.440 So I just showed you that CJA is this Jewish lobby group.
00:19:21.080 It used to be on the board of its predecessor about 10, 15 years ago.
00:19:26.140 We are deeply concerned by Canadian Conservative Party of Canada MPs,
00:19:31.000 Leslyn Lewis, Dean Allison, Colin Carey,
00:19:35.080 meeting with Christine Anderson,
00:19:37.220 a member of the far right German AFD party
00:19:40.800 known for Islamophobic and anti-immigrant views.
00:19:44.160 We raised the issue directly with Conservative Party headquarters.
00:19:50.140 I know Christine Anderson a little bit.
00:19:52.460 I don't think I've met her in person,
00:19:53.800 but I've interviewed her a few times.
00:19:55.440 She's actually a philo-Semite. 0.92
00:19:56.900 She likes the Jews. 0.99
00:19:58.600 She's conservative.
00:19:59.680 Her party is fairly mainstream.
00:20:01.860 It has 10% of the seats in the German federal parliament,
00:20:06.860 which is bigger than the NDP or the bloc.
00:20:10.060 They have 10% of the seats in the European parliament for Germany.
00:20:13.460 So they're not huge,
00:20:14.720 but there are over 300 elected officials in Germany
00:20:19.220 who are members of that party.
00:20:20.960 And you can agree or disagree with them,
00:20:22.560 but you cannot call them Nazis.
00:20:24.380 Like I say, it's illegal to be a Nazi in Germany.
00:20:28.500 The one thing you know about Christine Anderson
00:20:31.200 is she can't be a Nazi. 0.92
00:20:32.560 She can't be, because if she were, she'd be in jail. 0.97
00:20:39.880 So CJ was on the warpath that some Conservative MPs
00:20:43.560 met with a Conservative MEP, member of the European parliament.
00:20:46.980 They were furious about that,
00:20:48.740 but I checked CJ's Twitter stream 15 minutes ago,
00:20:53.400 half an hour ago.
00:20:54.420 They don't have a word about this.
00:20:56.260 So an actual bona fide Nazi, Holocaust denier, crazy man
00:21:02.140 who was kicked out of Germany because he was so odious.
00:21:06.260 CJ doesn't have a word to say.
00:21:08.100 This was on Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
00:21:12.760 It's been 48 hours.
00:21:13.860 By the way, I wrote an email to all three groups I mentioned,
00:21:17.020 the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the B'nai B'rith and the CJ,
00:21:19.200 saying, hey, you guys got anything to say about this?
00:21:22.900 I haven't heard back from any of them.
00:21:26.020 What do you think of that?
00:21:30.020 The human rights establishment in this country
00:21:32.520 calls anyone they don't like a Nazi.
00:21:34.320 They call truckers Nazis.
00:21:35.960 They call conservatives Nazis.
00:21:37.700 They actually even call Rebel News a Nazi.
00:21:40.220 Gerald Botts, Trudeau's disgraced aide,
00:21:43.440 once actually called us Nazis.
00:21:45.000 I'm Jewish.
00:21:47.140 In fact, I'm leading another tour to Israel this September.
00:21:51.520 If you want tickets, go to rebelvacations.com.
00:21:54.240 We're leading a tour to Israel.
00:21:58.640 I've taken 100 people to the Holocaust Museum in Israel, Yad Vashem.
00:22:03.740 Imagine calling me a Nazi.
00:22:05.440 That's how the Liberal Party uses Nazi.
00:22:07.720 It uses it as an attack, as an insult.
00:22:10.220 They call everyone Nazis except the actual Nazis.
00:22:18.300 That's Trudeau.
00:22:19.260 Now, we know that Trudeau admires authoritarianism.
00:22:23.520 We know he admires communist China.
00:22:25.780 We know he admires thugs like Castro, Xi Jinping.
00:22:33.040 So maybe we shouldn't be surprised that he loves Andrei Milnik.
00:22:39.600 But what's the excuse of the reporters,
00:22:41.660 and what's the excuse of the Jewish lobby?
00:22:44.280 I don't know the answer to that.
00:22:48.040 All right.
00:22:48.620 I said I was only going to talk about that briefly.
00:22:50.760 27 minutes have gone by.
00:22:53.740 Let's have a palate cleanser with a little ad for our...
00:22:58.300 Let's run a rebel ad.
00:22:59.540 And when we come back, I want to talk about the Jussie Smollett of Ottawa,
00:23:05.380 a corrupt little liar named Joel Harden. 0.59
00:23:08.040 This is an incredible story.
00:23:09.780 Come right back after these messages.
00:23:11.260 Canadiens for Truth proudly presents An Evening with Sarah Palin,
00:23:33.520 former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin's remarkable journey
00:23:38.640 and steadfast dedication to speaking up when it's easier to stay silent
00:23:42.880 are just a few of the many reasons you'll want to hear from her.
00:23:46.400 This event will be hosted by Olympians Theo Fleury and Jamie Soleil
00:23:50.120 and promises to provide valuable insights, inspiration, and entertainment.
00:23:55.200 Get ready for an incredible evening, Sunday, June 18, 2023.
00:23:59.540 The show starts at 7 p.m. at the Gray Eagle Event Center in Calgary, Alberta.
00:24:05.120 But act now because tickets for this will not last.
00:24:08.740 Hi, everybody. Nice to see you again.
00:24:15.200 I'm going to move off that Andre Melnick thing, but I am just absolutely staggered by it.
00:24:21.960 Maybe I'm naive, but I thought...
00:24:24.920 You know what? Let me just throw one more detail out to you.
00:24:26.640 The president of the Simon Weaves and the Hall Center, which is a Holocaust memorial group,
00:24:32.020 he used to be a liberal MP under Justin Trudeau named Michael Leavitt.
00:24:35.340 He left Trudeau's caucus and he now runs his Holocaust memorial group.
00:24:43.620 He has to make a decision.
00:24:45.640 Is he still loyal to his old boss, Justin Trudeau?
00:24:50.460 Or is he loyal to the essential mission of the Simon Weaves and Hall Center,
00:24:54.500 which is the memory of the Holocaust?
00:24:56.380 Here you have a full-tilt Holocaust denier.
00:25:01.120 Trudeau is hanging out with him in Kiev.
00:25:02.540 And Michael Leavitt doesn't have a word to say about it.
00:25:06.200 In fact, he was tweeting about golf over the weekend.
00:25:09.440 And that's great.
00:25:11.540 Fill your boots with golf.
00:25:12.800 But you're the head of the Holocaust. 0.97
00:25:15.360 There it is.
00:25:16.960 So this is Simon Weaves and Hall Center disturbing that conservative MPs,
00:25:22.920 Lesley Lewis, Dean Allison, and Colin Carey,
00:25:25.200 would meet with a far-right member of Islamophobic.
00:25:27.920 And hang on, that's almost exactly word for word what she just said.
00:25:34.880 Our elected leaders shouldn't be courting an individual with such odious and hateful views
00:25:39.380 that have no place in Canada.
00:25:41.440 Like I say, Christine Anderson is actually a Jew lover. 1.00
00:25:46.000 She's not a Nazi.
00:25:47.060 And the head of the Holocaust memorial feels the need to attack her.
00:25:52.600 Okay.
00:25:53.720 But he's silent.
00:25:57.120 He's silent when his buddy, Justin Trudeau, hangs out with...
00:26:01.620 You saw him.
00:26:03.360 He was going again and again.
00:26:04.760 The Jews are lying. 1.00
00:26:06.080 The Jews are lying. 1.00
00:26:08.100 Nazi Bandera didn't kill the Jews.
00:26:10.040 It's not true.
00:26:11.760 Didn't happen.
00:26:13.300 Holocaust didn't happen in Ukraine. 0.67
00:26:15.300 I'll talk to the Jews. 0.99
00:26:16.460 I'll set them straight.
00:26:17.320 You heard that crazy, insane...
00:26:19.860 Like...
00:26:21.880 You know, I sometimes think about Kanye West because he's one of my favorite artists.
00:26:26.400 And he said some crazy stuff.
00:26:28.200 And he had this sort of PR implosion.
00:26:30.800 But I think some of that was performance art.
00:26:33.200 And I think that was just for the shock effect.
00:26:35.740 I don't think it was his core identity.
00:26:38.040 I think he was sort of frustrated by some things.
00:26:40.580 It was...
00:26:41.380 Whatever it is.
00:26:41.880 I don't think that Kanye West is a scholar on European history.
00:26:49.060 He's a musician and an artist and a creative thinker.
00:26:51.980 And he's got some troubles too.
00:26:54.640 He was unpersoned in about 24 hours for that.
00:27:00.400 But here is a guy whose entire life is European history and politics and morality and ethics and diplomacy and strategy.
00:27:07.620 Like, this is...
00:27:08.880 So, it's not a musician popping off some comments.
00:27:13.980 Andrei Milnik has spent his life thinking and advocating for Ukraine and its history.
00:27:24.780 And he did an...
00:27:26.160 That was just a short clip.
00:27:28.120 He is a Nazi in his very bones. 0.89
00:27:31.760 This wasn't a gaffe by him.
00:27:34.420 In fact, he's gone on rants since then.
00:27:36.500 How can the Simon Wiesenthal Center abide that?
00:27:41.600 Well, when you realize that they're run by Trudeau's former aide, an MP named Michael Leavitt, then it all makes sense.
00:27:49.760 Super gross.
00:27:50.720 Super gross.
00:27:51.740 All right.
00:27:52.260 Let's move on.
00:27:52.980 I want to introduce you to a clown because we all need a good laugh.
00:27:57.560 His name is Joel Harden.
00:28:01.820 And look at that guy.
00:28:03.140 I mean, listen, if you look like me, you should never make fun of anyone else's appearance.
00:28:08.760 Okay?
00:28:10.040 Even if you're handsome and pretty, you shouldn't make fun of someone's appearance.
00:28:13.880 Because, I mean, he was born that way.
00:28:18.260 And we all have our strengths and weaknesses.
00:28:20.600 And obviously, he's got some qualities if he was elected MPP.
00:28:25.600 It looks a little goofy because he's wearing that full pride suit and his hair is a little funny.
00:28:29.880 He's making a face.
00:28:30.920 But let me read what he says.
00:28:34.220 So he's responding to a tweet.
00:28:36.700 Yeah, go ahead.
00:28:37.040 He's responding to this tweet by an NDP activist named Luke LeBrun, who says, this is absolute madness.
00:28:45.860 The far-right mob.
00:28:47.460 This is happening, I think it was on Friday in Ottawa.
00:28:51.240 We had a cameraman there too, by the way.
00:28:53.380 This is absolute madness.
00:28:54.520 The far-right mob is not even at a school anymore.
00:28:57.100 They're just standing in the middle of a residential street in Westboro, chanting nonsense in the direction of random homeowners to leave our kids alone.
00:29:06.740 So this is a clash between Antifa on the left, some NDPers on the center-left, Antifa on the far-left, NDPers on the left, and some various families opposed to trans ideology in the school.
00:29:21.380 So Luke LeBrun says, this is madness.
00:29:24.220 Yes.
00:29:25.300 And just play that clip.
00:29:26.820 Sound up.
00:29:27.320 Play that clip.
00:29:29.400 All right.
00:29:39.100 All right.
00:29:40.960 Okay.
00:29:41.680 So it's an 11-second clip.
00:29:43.300 And you know what you see in that clip?
00:29:45.200 Some people chanting and basically standing still.
00:29:48.800 Do you see any violence?
00:29:49.900 Do you see a mob?
00:29:51.520 You don't.
00:29:52.060 But then Joel Harden replies and says, so Luke LeBrun says they're hollering.
00:29:59.320 They were chanting.
00:30:00.780 And then this guy, Joel Harden, who's a New Democrat member of the provincial parliament, says, and punching people in the face.
00:30:10.160 But I'll take a punch for queer and trans youth any day. 1.00
00:30:14.660 And scroll down a little bit just to, so he's got what looks like a cut under his eye.
00:30:22.380 Do you see that there?
00:30:23.800 He's making sort of a funny face.
00:30:25.360 He says he took a punch for queer and trans youth.
00:30:31.020 And he's sort of proud of it.
00:30:32.540 And I'm not going to refer to his appearance anymore because that's just mean.
00:30:36.460 Although he looks quite odd here.
00:30:39.260 And maybe it's the juxtaposition of his funny face and that suit he's wearing.
00:30:45.360 But I'm not going to refer to it.
00:30:46.700 The appearance I'm referring to is that cut.
00:30:49.620 So his message is clear.
00:30:52.860 He was punched in the face by some pro-family anti-trans activist.
00:31:00.800 It's absolutely clear what his meaning is.
00:31:04.400 And there's another New Democrat.
00:31:08.740 What's her name?
00:31:09.480 Troster or something?
00:31:12.620 Who said, yeah, I saw it.
00:31:16.720 I saw the whole thing.
00:31:20.360 He was assaulted.
00:31:21.520 I want to show that before I, yeah, pump that up a bit.
00:31:27.580 This is Ariel Troster.
00:31:30.380 And it's going to shock you to know she's got she and her as her pronouns.
00:31:34.900 Didn't see that coming.
00:31:36.760 I saw my dear friend and MPP, Member of Provincial Parliament, get punched in the face.
00:31:43.200 I saw it.
00:31:43.900 Let me testify.
00:31:47.520 I saw my dear friend and MPP get punched in the face by haters, plural, by haters today.
00:31:56.400 When I say the bigots, plural, are getting emboldened.
00:31:59.380 This is what I mean.
00:32:00.440 So she's saying, I am an eyewitness to this.
00:32:03.040 I saw him get punched in the face by haters, not a hater, but haters today.
00:32:12.560 They're emboldened.
00:32:13.500 This is what I mean.
00:32:14.060 It's happening, people.
00:32:14.960 Click on her.
00:32:15.500 Who is she again? 0.93
00:32:16.320 Click on her name.
00:32:18.920 She is a counselor in Ottawa City Council.
00:32:22.640 And just in case you thought, well, they're partisan activists.
00:32:30.960 Did it really happen that way?
00:32:32.560 Corne van Hoppen, who is a journalist with Yahoo News.
00:32:39.880 He was there.
00:32:41.400 Click on his first one, on the embedded one there on June 10th.
00:32:44.800 He said, this is a journalist for Yahoo News, news, I'll take a punch for queer and trans 1.00
00:32:54.900 youth any day.
00:32:56.540 Ottawa Center MPP Joel Harden assaulted by anti-trans protester while attending a rally supporting
00:33:04.760 queer and trans rights in Ottawa Friday morning.
00:33:07.120 My latest for Yahoo News Canada.
00:33:09.460 So it happened.
00:33:11.460 Now it's only one protester, not multiple.
00:33:15.960 Do we have the original story?
00:33:18.260 Can we click on the, or scroll down a little bit?
00:33:23.300 Then two days later, two days later, a little bit of a change.
00:33:28.400 As further developments have emerged, we are closely dissecting new information brought
00:33:34.200 to light and would like to reassure you that fact-driven journalism remains my top priority.
00:33:41.380 I'm currently working with Yahoo Canada News team to provide updates as quickly as possible.
00:33:45.800 So he said that two days later.
00:33:47.460 So what happened?
00:33:49.280 He said it happened as a fact.
00:33:57.940 And then this is the revised version.
00:34:00.220 I'll take a punch for queer and trans youth any day, Ottawa MPP, under scrutiny in wake 1.00
00:34:05.160 of alleged assault at trans rally.
00:34:07.820 Hang on.
00:34:08.540 His first report, and I don't know if we have a saved version, Ottawa MPP says he was allegedly
00:34:13.580 rabbit punched, I don't know what that is, while attending rally to keep trans and queer 1.00
00:34:17.580 individuals safe.
00:34:19.340 So this is the fixed version.
00:34:21.360 I wish we had that.
00:34:22.560 Don't worry, we don't have it.
00:34:23.640 But it would have been fun to get the original one where it was reported as an absolute fact.
00:34:28.040 And there were plenty of adjectives to go along with it.
00:34:34.400 So it took the mainstream media two days.
00:34:39.840 Two days.
00:34:42.100 But there were so many citizen journalists on the scene that it didn't even take two hours
00:34:49.380 for the truth to be fair.
00:34:51.540 Now, you remember that little cut on his face?
00:34:54.080 Didn't even look like a punch.
00:34:55.420 Thank God I've never really been in a fight.
00:34:59.720 But, you know, when you get a punch, it doesn't have a little cut like that.
00:35:05.680 You get a punch, you get a swelling, you get a bruise.
00:35:08.800 Maybe you get an abrasion or a laceration, but you don't get like a little surgical nick
00:35:13.700 in a punch.
00:35:14.880 I don't know what a rabbit punch is.
00:35:17.120 So maybe I'm not an expert in these things.
00:35:19.180 But here's a citizen journalist who I would say is on the left, but she's actually a fairly 0.97
00:35:24.280 common sense gal.
00:35:25.700 I like her work.
00:35:26.480 Maybe I shouldn't admit that.
00:35:28.180 But her name is Karima Saad.
00:35:30.480 And do we have the tweet in which this tweet, this video is embedded?
00:35:35.060 She says, NDP MPP.
00:35:37.180 Oh, this is a retweet of her.
00:35:47.780 Yeah, scroll down a little bit if we can find it, because she was one of the first debunkers. 0.94
00:35:53.260 Okay, yeah, so let's read the tweet here.
00:36:03.060 MPP, Joel Harden leads crowd chants with megaphone.
00:36:10.100 Beside him, a counter protester wields an electronic whistle, 100 to 120 decibels.
00:36:17.160 Not sure if the noisemaker is following Harden, my cameraman, or both.
00:36:21.960 Okay, so play that video.
00:36:26.440 Yeah, pump that video up. 0.65
00:36:27.720 And he's got something on his face there.
00:36:29.640 Let's take a look at it.
00:36:30.940 Play from the beginning.
00:36:32.040 Thank you.
00:36:33.860 We will protect trans kids.
00:36:37.660 Because we love trans kids.
00:36:40.040 Protect trans kids.
00:36:41.660 We will protect trans kids.
00:36:44.940 Because we love trans kids.
00:36:48.660 We will protect trans kids.
00:36:51.960 We will protect trans kids.
00:36:55.780 Because we love trans kids.
00:36:57.440 Okay.
00:36:58.440 It's a little bit mind-numbing.
00:37:00.880 I don't think this was the one that I'm referring to, but it was interesting.
00:37:04.320 And that weird guy with that 100 decibel noisemaker.
00:37:08.760 But you see he has a little bandage on his face there.
00:37:11.340 Go back to it.
00:37:12.120 There's another Kareem Asad one.
00:37:13.600 I'm certain of it.
00:37:14.360 Where she said this video of him.
00:37:17.280 Yeah.
00:37:18.400 I think she had one that debunks it.
00:37:25.540 Oh, yeah.
00:37:26.060 Show me that one there.
00:37:29.980 Okay.
00:37:30.880 Do we have an earlier one?
00:37:32.140 Yeah.
00:37:32.280 Scroll down from Kareem Asad's feet a little bit.
00:37:34.340 Yeah, that's the one.
00:37:41.840 Oh, you have the one?
00:37:42.680 Okay.
00:37:42.880 Put up the one you have.
00:37:43.640 So my point is, it's a little odd.
00:37:45.760 He says he was punched.
00:37:46.840 I don't know what a rabbit punch is.
00:37:47.840 I should Google that instead of just keeping saying that.
00:37:53.000 Rabbit punch.
00:37:55.320 A rabbit punch is a blow to the back of the head.
00:37:58.940 Or to the base of the skull.
00:38:00.300 It is considered especially dangerous because it can damage the cervical vertebrae and subsequently
00:38:05.340 the spinal cord, which may lead to serious and irreparable spinal cord injury.
00:38:11.260 A rabbit punch can also detach the victim's brain from the brain stem, which can kill instantly.
00:38:16.220 Yeah, that's not a rabbit punch.
00:38:20.780 That's a little cut on your cheek.
00:38:25.700 But there were so many cameras right there.
00:38:27.980 Our alumnus, Kian Bextie, has a company called Counter Signal.
00:38:32.800 They had a reporter there.
00:38:34.620 We had a reporter and a cameraman there.
00:38:36.280 Kareem Asad had a cameraman there.
00:38:38.960 And he cut his face on his megaphone.
00:38:44.520 He cut his face on his megaphone.
00:38:46.900 I'm sorry I don't have that in my fingertips.
00:38:49.780 But there is literally no footage of him being punched by anyone.
00:39:05.060 He cut his face on, yeah, he cut his face on his camera.
00:39:08.740 I mean on his megaphone.
00:39:09.780 What's going on there?
00:39:23.700 And all sorts of different camera angles were put online very quickly.
00:39:33.580 And there was no footage that anyone had that he was punched.
00:39:38.080 So Joel Harden realizes he's being caught in a Jussie Smollett moment.
00:39:43.240 He realizes that his hoax and Ariel Troster saying,
00:39:47.800 I saw it, I saw it, that the hoax was found out.
00:39:53.260 So Joel Harden, oh, and by the way, Jagmeet Singh,
00:39:58.100 the federal NDP leader and the provincial NDP leader,
00:40:00.780 whose name I haven't bothered to remember
00:40:02.920 because I don't think I'll ever need to use it.
00:40:06.840 They immediately jumped on this and assumed it was true
00:40:11.000 and absolutely condemned.
00:40:14.200 In fact, I'm surprised they didn't use the word Nazi.
00:40:16.240 There's a real Nazi over in Kiev meeting with Trudeau right now, 1.00
00:40:19.360 but I'm sure they would call the people who,
00:40:22.180 yeah, there's Jagmeet Singh's right there.
00:40:26.480 I'm proud of you, Joel Harden.
00:40:29.720 Queer and trans people and kids are being targeted
00:40:31.600 by angry and hateful extremists.
00:40:34.320 Surprised he didn't say the word Nazi.
00:40:36.340 Governments must step up and protect the queer and trans community
00:40:38.920 and NDP MPs who lie about it.
00:40:42.300 So Jagmeet Singh and the provincial leader,
00:40:44.620 I'm not even going to call for her tweet
00:40:46.420 because she's literally a footnote in history.
00:40:51.500 But despite Jagmeet Singh and the liar who said,
00:40:56.560 I saw it happen, no one saw it happen,
00:40:59.180 and Joel Harden could feel that he was sort of losing the argument here.
00:41:04.820 And he was trending on Twitter, excuse me.
00:41:09.520 So then he put this up, a kind of alibi number two.
00:41:15.240 The first alibi didn't work, so here's the second one.
00:41:18.820 He said,
00:41:19.700 I do not want this woman charged. 0.95
00:41:24.540 What woman? 0.99
00:41:25.680 No woman touched you.
00:41:30.080 I would rather talk to her about why she needed to be violent 1.00
00:41:33.160 and why she needed to protest outside public schools. 1.00
00:41:36.380 If she's reading the statement, that offer still holds.
00:41:39.200 Please get in touch with me.
00:41:41.540 That would be like Jussie Smollett saying,
00:41:43.800 I'd like to meet those folks who said,
00:41:46.560 in Chicago,
00:41:47.900 you're in MAGA country, 0.58
00:41:50.180 who were carrying a noose.
00:41:54.200 And remember,
00:41:55.200 if you remember Jussie Smollett's story,
00:41:57.760 they attacked him when he was going out for a subway sandwich,
00:42:00.200 and he never let go of the sandwich.
00:42:02.760 He never dropped the sandwich.
00:42:04.160 And they put a noose around his head,
00:42:05.880 and he didn't take it off.
00:42:06.960 He waited until the police came,
00:42:08.360 so they saw the noose around his neck.
00:42:10.980 It was such a lie.
00:42:14.020 So his first statement about the rabbit punch,
00:42:17.480 I didn't know what rabbit punch was.
00:42:18.600 I just looked it up.
00:42:19.280 Rabbit punch is in the back of the neck,
00:42:20.940 and it can kill you.
00:42:22.560 This was a little prick on his face.
00:42:25.420 It wasn't a punch at all.
00:42:28.340 And so now he's saying,
00:42:29.220 I do not want this woman charged. 0.95
00:42:32.460 What woman? 0.99
00:42:33.360 Charged for what?
00:42:35.020 Nothing happened to you.
00:42:36.260 You cut your face on your megaphone.
00:42:41.820 I mean,
00:42:43.660 Corne Van Hopen from Yahoo News
00:42:45.840 was stupid enough to believe him.
00:42:49.280 Chanel Fall had a tweet.
00:42:56.180 Let's just show hers. 0.95
00:42:57.220 So Ariel Troster said,
00:43:03.720 so now that Joel Harnden is changing his story,
00:43:08.700 his witness has to change his story.
00:43:13.640 Oh, first of all, there's Paul Champ,
00:43:15.020 who's the ambulance chaser,
00:43:16.220 who's behind the...
00:43:18.220 Oh, you know what?
00:43:21.440 Sorry, there's so many...
00:43:22.280 Let's play Chantal Fall's one,
00:43:24.400 and then we'll work up from there.
00:43:25.440 Yeah, that one right there.
00:43:28.140 Yeah.
00:43:30.940 Oops, Ariel Troster,
00:43:32.320 the code of conduct for Ottawa City Councilors,
00:43:34.100 states that members must be committed
00:43:35.700 to performing their functions
00:43:36.820 with integrity, accountability, and transparency.
00:43:38.460 So this is Chantal Fall saying
00:43:41.380 that the alleged witness lied.
00:43:43.720 And then go backwards on the thread.
00:43:45.720 So go back one.
00:43:49.380 Yeah, so Paul Champ says,
00:43:52.180 video from another angle
00:43:53.580 shows a protester strike the megaphone
00:43:56.660 into his face.
00:43:59.300 Too bad video by Karima
00:44:01.080 doesn't show the full view.
00:44:02.500 Oh, so you don't have that video.
00:44:07.040 You're just saying it exists.
00:44:08.740 And then here's Ariel Troster
00:44:09.920 changing her testimony.
00:44:13.040 For the record, this is what I saw,
00:44:14.460 a smack punch that smashed the megaphone 1.00
00:44:17.880 into Joel Harden NDP's face
00:44:19.880 and many other instigators of violence
00:44:21.980 amongst the anti-trans crowd.
00:44:23.480 So now it's not a rabbit punch.
00:44:25.460 Now it's not a punch at all.
00:44:28.360 Here's Chantal Fall, 0.99
00:44:29.700 who sums up their backpedaling
00:44:31.640 from I saw my friend
00:44:33.540 get punched in the face
00:44:34.500 to I saw a smack punch 1.00
00:44:36.260 that smashed the megaphone
00:44:37.560 into his face.
00:44:38.480 Nice try walking it back,
00:44:39.640 Ariel Troster.
00:44:40.280 You lied, end of story.
00:44:42.140 They're all down there.
00:44:43.380 Paul Champ, he's the ambulance tracer
00:44:44.980 behind this class action
00:44:46.740 against the truckers.
00:44:48.020 You got this bizarre liar,
00:44:50.160 Joel Harden.
00:44:50.840 You've got Ariel Troster.
00:44:51.920 And look who makes an appearance
00:44:53.220 but Nilly Kaplan-Mirth,
00:44:55.880 the absolute kook.
00:44:59.120 She's the one in the mask, of course.
00:45:01.120 She's the one
00:45:02.000 who won't stop wearing masks.
00:45:04.560 She wore a mask
00:45:05.400 on a Skype interview with TBO
00:45:08.060 and Steve Pakin,
00:45:10.740 the interviewer,
00:45:11.300 just said,
00:45:11.640 I've got to ask,
00:45:12.960 why are you wearing the mask
00:45:14.620 on a Skype interview?
00:45:16.080 And it was just a classic moment.
00:45:18.080 She's absolutely kooky. 1.00
00:45:19.220 We have a petition about her.
00:45:21.520 And Rowan,
00:45:22.540 I forget his last name,
00:45:23.460 says,
00:45:23.660 Breaking.
00:45:25.300 Nilly Kaplan-Mirth,
00:45:26.420 trusty and frequent
00:45:27.180 alleged anti-Semitic hate victim,
00:45:29.660 defies the odds
00:45:30.860 and is out protesting
00:45:31.780 with anti-Semitic NDP MPP,
00:45:34.060 Joel Harden and other misfits.
00:45:35.860 I don't know what Joel Harden's
00:45:37.460 backstory of anti-Semitism is,
00:45:39.600 but every weirdo,
00:45:42.400 political kook,
00:45:43.640 liar,
00:45:44.580 and ambulance chaser
00:45:45.600 in the city
00:45:47.080 was there.
00:45:48.600 And they just were all caught lying
00:45:50.440 and it was sort of beautiful.
00:45:51.400 That's the power
00:45:53.460 of citizen journalism.
00:45:54.460 I say again,
00:45:55.820 the regime journalist,
00:45:57.400 Cornel Van Hoppen,
00:45:59.260 lied.
00:46:00.820 Lied in his original story.
00:46:02.260 I'm sorry we don't have
00:46:02.840 the original version,
00:46:06.180 which was edited.
00:46:08.440 He let his lie be out there
00:46:10.620 for two full days
00:46:11.940 before he changed it.
00:46:13.520 Everyone had already read his story.
00:46:14.660 No one's going to read his story
00:46:15.640 two days later.
00:46:17.020 It's not news anymore.
00:46:18.040 It's old.
00:46:18.660 Is there an editor's note
00:46:20.780 at the bottom of his story,
00:46:21.920 by the way?
00:46:22.240 Can you scroll?
00:46:23.220 Yeah, just the bottom of the story.
00:46:24.780 Yeah, what does that say?
00:46:29.260 Okay, click the,
00:46:30.200 click the story continues part.
00:46:33.760 Yeah, scroll down.
00:46:34.740 Is there an editor's note
00:46:35.800 acknowledging that there were errors?
00:46:39.100 Yeah.
00:46:39.980 Can you,
00:46:40.620 can you show that on the screen?
00:46:46.360 Editor's note.
00:46:47.000 Yahoo Canada has updated the story
00:46:49.460 to reflect the claims
00:46:50.440 Ottawa MPP Joel Hornet
00:46:51.620 made about an attack
00:46:53.240 was an alleged incident,
00:46:54.760 which is still under investigation.
00:46:57.700 That's a very careful way
00:47:00.120 of saying,
00:47:01.300 we didn't do our job.
00:47:05.620 We have no proof of any of this.
00:47:08.540 We ran it as true. 0.73
00:47:11.020 Now we know this guy's full of shit.
00:47:13.060 I'm swearing a lot today.
00:47:14.160 I hope you'll forgive me.
00:47:15.120 But to pretend that it's not our fault,
00:47:18.200 that it's Joel Hornet's fault,
00:47:19.340 we're going to say that
00:47:20.220 he is just claiming it.
00:47:23.480 And we're going to,
00:47:23.900 like that weird excuse there,
00:47:25.720 they're sloughing it off on him
00:47:27.260 instead of taking responsibility
00:47:30.640 for their own lack of journalism.
00:47:33.840 Their original version reported it as true.
00:47:37.880 Joel Hornet is still sort of
00:47:39.080 hanging on to the claim.
00:47:40.320 And their,
00:47:41.640 let me read their apology one more time
00:47:43.380 because it's just sort of,
00:47:45.240 it's a non-apology apology.
00:47:48.640 Let me just read that one more time.
00:47:50.460 Editor's note.
00:47:53.680 Yahoo Canada
00:47:54.600 has updated this story
00:47:56.620 to reflect the claims
00:47:59.820 Ottawa MPP Joel Hornet made
00:48:01.320 about an attack
00:48:01.980 was an alleged incident.
00:48:04.600 Okay, but it was always
00:48:06.980 an alleged incident.
00:48:09.820 That, that was,
00:48:11.380 that's the whole story.
00:48:13.020 This MP makes an allegation.
00:48:14.780 It was an insane allegation.
00:48:17.060 It was debunked within minutes.
00:48:21.100 A more honest editor's note
00:48:23.060 would have been,
00:48:23.540 Yahoo Canada has updated this story
00:48:25.540 to reflect the fact that
00:48:27.520 what Joel Harnden claimed
00:48:30.820 is contradicted by video evidence
00:48:33.940 and there was no,
00:48:35.240 there was never any proof for it.
00:48:38.180 They're making it seem like
00:48:39.500 maybe Joel Harnden
00:48:40.380 has changed his story.
00:48:41.360 I mean, he has changed his story,
00:48:42.540 but he's still claiming
00:48:43.260 he was attacked.
00:48:45.600 Yahoo News will not take responsibility
00:48:47.300 for the fact that
00:48:47.980 they ran his lie as the truth,
00:48:49.680 are embarrassed by him,
00:48:50.880 and now they're trying to blame him.
00:48:52.300 They should blame themselves
00:48:53.380 for, for running his allegation
00:48:55.660 as the truth.
00:48:57.520 Never trust the media party.
00:48:59.700 Never, ever, ever
00:49:01.420 trust the media party.
00:49:10.060 Andy Lee, let's,
00:49:11.100 Andy Lee has a tweet on this.
00:49:13.280 Let's, let's show it too.
00:49:14.840 I think it's in the,
00:49:15.800 in the live stream feed.
00:49:17.700 Yeah, Andy Lee.
00:49:19.580 About Ariel Troster.
00:49:21.220 And now she's claiming 0.91
00:49:22.060 something different.
00:49:22.720 Call me a skeptic,
00:49:23.420 but it's almost like
00:49:24.100 the original accounting
00:49:25.180 of the anti-trans activist assault
00:49:26.760 committed against Joel Harnden,
00:49:28.220 which detailed a punch to the face,
00:49:29.980 wasn't entirely accurate.
00:49:32.600 Andy Lee's been on a tear lately,
00:49:34.160 just doing great stuff
00:49:35.240 on the China files
00:49:36.760 for Rebel News,
00:49:37.560 so it's great to be
00:49:38.400 associated with her.
00:49:40.380 Well, it's 154,
00:49:41.940 and I think we've covered
00:49:43.880 two big issues.
00:49:44.880 I'm going to talk more
00:49:45.680 about this Andre Melnick thing
00:49:47.080 tonight,
00:49:47.720 because I think it's actually
00:49:48.380 very important.
00:49:49.020 there's so many different
00:49:51.640 details about the story
00:49:53.200 that are gross.
00:49:54.860 You know,
00:49:55.240 another half billion dollars
00:49:56.420 being sent to a war
00:49:57.800 without debate or vote.
00:50:00.120 Trudeau running away
00:50:01.200 from accountability issues
00:50:02.460 in Canada.
00:50:05.340 But meeting with that
00:50:06.660 Holocaust denier
00:50:07.720 and proudly being toured
00:50:09.000 around Kiev by him
00:50:10.000 is super gross.
00:50:12.760 The media party
00:50:14.020 covering for it
00:50:15.440 is super double
00:50:16.940 extra gross.
00:50:19.060 And then the official Jews 1.00
00:50:20.740 who freak out
00:50:21.580 over anything and nothing,
00:50:24.100 staying absolutely silent,
00:50:27.060 is so perplexing to me.
00:50:31.200 I don't think it can stand.
00:50:34.640 It's 155.
00:50:36.020 Time for maybe
00:50:36.980 one more little tweet
00:50:38.200 or something,
00:50:39.800 because I don't want
00:50:41.180 to get into a big new thing
00:50:42.520 just before we go.
00:50:45.440 But you know what?
00:50:45.980 Danielle Smith
00:50:46.500 had a fun tweet,
00:50:47.800 and let's end on that one.
00:50:50.120 I used to know Danielle
00:50:51.380 pretty well back in the day,
00:50:52.520 and then we didn't talk
00:50:53.760 for a while,
00:50:54.140 but I've been chatting
00:50:54.600 with her a bit lately.
00:50:56.220 Here's a tweet
00:50:56.800 that she had up
00:50:57.720 over the weekend.
00:50:59.580 Fun fact,
00:51:00.520 my husband and I
00:51:01.400 still own a restaurant.
00:51:03.120 This weekend,
00:51:03.740 the dishwasher broke down,
00:51:04.820 so I went in for a shift.
00:51:06.660 And there she is,
00:51:08.640 washing dishes.
00:51:10.740 And I like that tweet
00:51:13.520 for a few reasons.
00:51:15.440 There's a sense
00:51:17.320 of humor to it.
00:51:18.500 There's a little bit
00:51:19.360 of humility to it.
00:51:21.500 And it's true. 0.56
00:51:23.080 How many politicians,
00:51:24.820 let alone a premier
00:51:25.560 or prime minister,
00:51:26.900 have a business,
00:51:28.640 and a business that's
00:51:29.420 as hard to run
00:51:30.840 as a restaurant?
00:51:32.200 You're on your feet
00:51:32.840 all day.
00:51:33.760 You have to worry
00:51:34.680 about staffing,
00:51:35.680 about a hundred things.
00:51:39.020 restaurants are one
00:51:43.340 of the toughest businesses
00:51:44.300 out there.
00:51:45.980 And, you know,
00:51:48.280 you have to get customers.
00:51:49.400 You have to manage your costs.
00:51:50.520 You have to manage staff.
00:51:52.300 You have to manage,
00:51:53.480 quote, shrinkage.
00:51:54.480 You have to,
00:51:54.860 there's so many things
00:51:55.600 to worry about
00:51:56.400 that 99% of politicians
00:51:59.500 don't know
00:52:00.320 and only pretend to know.
00:52:01.600 And I think the fact
00:52:03.660 that she and her husband
00:52:04.480 own this restaurant,
00:52:07.120 besides looking good,
00:52:08.920 is actually an advantage
00:52:10.080 for understanding
00:52:10.840 what real people
00:52:11.520 go through.
00:52:12.940 How can you know
00:52:14.360 what a small businessman
00:52:15.360 goes through
00:52:15.880 if you've never
00:52:16.360 been one yourself?
00:52:17.760 If you've never had
00:52:18.540 to worry about
00:52:19.060 making payroll?
00:52:21.220 If you've never had
00:52:22.120 to worry about
00:52:22.660 the cost of your heating
00:52:23.740 and everything,
00:52:24.940 all your food going up
00:52:25.840 because of inflation,
00:52:26.800 including the carbon tax?
00:52:27.980 99% of politicians
00:52:30.480 don't have real jobs
00:52:31.600 like that.
00:52:32.480 Some of them
00:52:32.880 have professions,
00:52:33.840 but those professions
00:52:34.720 are often immune
00:52:36.080 from the troubles
00:52:37.740 of running a restaurant,
00:52:38.680 one of the toughest
00:52:39.140 jobs around.
00:52:41.860 Well, I think we have
00:52:42.880 one super chat,
00:52:43.820 so I'm going to,
00:52:44.600 I'm going to go on that
00:52:47.180 for my final moments.
00:52:52.460 Fraser McBurney,
00:52:53.560 five bucks at our rallies
00:52:54.640 have a sign
00:52:55.560 that has a photo
00:52:56.740 of Trudeau saying,
00:52:57.980 thinks this is a Nazi flag
00:52:59.980 than a photo
00:53:00.520 of the Canadian flag.
00:53:05.820 Well, you've got
00:53:06.460 to be careful
00:53:06.900 if you have a flag
00:53:07.620 with a swastika on it
00:53:08.580 at all because
00:53:09.160 that will be interpreted
00:53:10.380 as if you yourself
00:53:11.600 were carrying that.
00:53:12.940 There may have been
00:53:14.280 a protester
00:53:17.560 during the convoy
00:53:18.440 who was carrying
00:53:18.980 a swastika 0.52
00:53:19.620 as a kind of commentary
00:53:20.980 on Canada's
00:53:22.420 authoritarian streak.
00:53:24.820 I heard some argument
00:53:26.660 to that effect.
00:53:27.360 If so,
00:53:28.140 it's a terrible idea
00:53:30.120 because even if that
00:53:30.960 was the thinking,
00:53:33.620 it cannot be conveyed
00:53:35.100 in a photograph.
00:53:36.760 And,
00:53:37.000 of course,
00:53:38.580 the media party,
00:53:39.360 aha,
00:53:39.760 we told you
00:53:40.280 they're real Nazis.
00:53:41.360 They look for Nazis 1.00
00:53:42.260 where there are none.
00:53:44.980 They hunt for Nazis.
00:53:46.240 They're brave
00:53:46.620 against Nazis
00:53:47.320 that don't exist.
00:53:48.180 but the biggest Nazi
00:53:50.180 in Europe,
00:53:51.860 an extremist Holocaust 0.82
00:53:52.940 denier by the name
00:53:53.780 of Andrei Melnick.
00:53:55.580 And they'll spend
00:53:56.160 the day with him
00:53:56.820 and the media approves.
00:53:58.020 Just shocking.
00:54:00.600 That's our live stream
00:54:02.200 for the day.
00:54:02.860 I'll be back
00:54:03.260 at 8 p.m. Eastern,
00:54:04.300 6 p.m. Mountain Time
00:54:05.300 for my show.
