Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ From transanity to trans-species： The tail is wagging the dog

00:00:00.000 Tonight, folks, you don't want to miss this monologue. It's been six years in the making.

00:00:05.720 That's right, six years in the making. And the end result indicates the planet is a whole lot

00:00:12.700 more insane when it comes to transgenderism in 2023 than it was in 2017. I'm David Menzies,

00:00:21.040 and this is the Ezra Levent Show.

00:00:23.740 Well, folks, today's monologue is very special indeed because it's been some six years in the

00:00:44.320 making. Yes, six long years. Well, sort of. Here's the backstory. We shot a video way back in the

00:00:52.820 summer of 2017, but it never aired, and I'll explain why in the moments ahead. But alas and alack,

00:00:59.700 a rejected and forgotten video from some six years ago is suddenly very much relevant in 2023.

00:01:07.400 I guess that's what happens in terms of significance with the passage of time.

00:01:12.660 There is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires,

00:01:19.020 what we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time.

00:01:25.760 Wow. And to think that cat is next in line to become the commander in chief should anything

00:01:31.600 happen to the godfather of the Biden crime syndicate. Yikes. Speaking of cats, felines are

00:01:40.020 indeed the crux of the matter for this monologue. You see, back in 2017, super producer Efren Monsanto

00:01:47.140 and yours truly, well, we ventured out to the Canadian Pet Expo that was taking place at the

00:01:53.000 International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. The Pet Expo was hosting a cat show in which various

00:02:00.860 kitties were vying for a championship trophy. Oh, to be clear, we had no intention of putting an actual

00:02:08.100 feline on display, such as a Persian cat or an American shorthair. Rather, I purchased a birth

00:02:15.340 at the cat show to, well, showcase myself in the guise of my alter ego, trans cat. You see, back in 2017,

00:02:26.760 trans sanity was in its infancy. Drag queen story time was just emerging at the local public library. 0.85

00:02:35.440 And biological men, under the caveat of so-called human rights, were only beginning to invade female 0.89

00:02:43.180 safe spaces such as change rooms and women's sports teams and women's prisons, all with the approval of 0.90

00:02:50.860 Prime Minister Blackface. You know, diversity is our strength, even when it isn't. Anyway, the goal of 0.88

00:02:58.880 our cat show safari was to gauge the acceptance level, not for transgender folk, but rather for

00:03:06.380 trans species folk. So without further ado, let's run our five minute report that has lurked in the 0.98

00:03:15.880 Rebel News vault until now. And on the other side of the video, I'll explain why it never did make it to

00:03:23.420 air back in 2017 and why it is that we are finally airing it today. And please, parental guidance

00:03:31.540 strongly suggested. In this day and age of inclusiveness and diversity, really, how accepting

00:03:38.860 are we of the trans community? Oh no, folks, I don't mean transgender. That's so 2016. I mean 0.54

00:03:47.000 trans species. Yes, there is a subset of people out there who do not identify as humans, but as a

00:03:55.680 different animal altogether. Take the menzoid, for example. Sure, I might look like a member of 1.00

00:04:01.320 Homo sapiens now. But on the weekend, I transform werewolf-like into my other persona of

00:04:09.440 a fantastic feline. Yes, I'm now a cat. That's how I identify. And to celebrate my diversity as a

00:04:22.160 newfound cat, I've entered into the National Cat Show here at the Pet Expo, just to see how

00:04:28.820 accepting people are of those who identify as trans-species.

00:04:35.820 No!

00:04:37.820 For the record, this is an example of the lack of accommodation of trans-species. We could

00:04:53.820 not get my cage into the front door, so we're walking all the way around. It's like a kilometer

00:04:57.820 and a half to the loading dock. You know, like I'm, you know, a bunch of rubbish to be disposed

00:05:04.820 of or something. We're going in through the tradesman's engines. Anyways, we will comply,

00:05:09.820 because I want that blue ribbon.

00:05:12.820 Well, we've been locked out of two or was it three entrances, but you know what they say,

00:05:28.820 there's more than one way to skin a cat. We found another way.

00:05:35.820 guy senses family members room room room room room room room room room room room room room room room room room room room table room room room.

00:05:43.820 Which table do we have?

00:05:58.820 Hi, how are you?

00:05:59.820 Alright, here we go.

00:06:00.820 I'm a trans cat. 0.63

00:06:03.820 Yes.

00:06:04.820 Our name's on the table.

00:06:06.820 The reservation name is written on the table over there.

00:06:09.820 And this is a cat?

00:06:10.820 This is a cat.

00:06:11.820 Yes.

00:06:13.820 I'm a trans cat. 0.63

00:06:15.820 Trans cat, right? 1.00

00:06:16.820 Well, I'm a trans cat. 0.66

00:06:18.820 Oh, hey, why are you saying that?

00:06:20.820 Because you speak in English.

00:06:22.820 That's right.

00:06:24.820 I'm transitioning into a cat.

00:06:26.820 You have to be removed off-site right now.

00:06:28.820 What about trans cat rights? 0.99

00:06:30.820 There's no such thing.

00:06:32.820 How dare we? I'll take you to the Human Rights Commission.

00:06:34.820 Oh, please do.

00:06:35.820 Human rights, not cat rights.

00:06:37.820 That's right.

00:06:38.820 I'm here for the blue ribbon.

00:06:40.820 This is an outrage.

00:06:42.820 Okay, maybe you got a chuckle out of that report.

00:06:44.820 Maybe you were revolted.

00:06:46.820 Maybe both.

00:06:47.820 But you see, the video never aired back in 2017 because it was determined by the team that,

00:06:53.820 well, it was just too weird.

00:06:55.820 It was just too outrageous.

00:06:57.820 Sure, the whole thing was a goof.

00:06:59.820 But it seemed that this report belonged in an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus,

00:07:05.820 not on the Rebel News platform.

00:07:08.820 So, you may ask, what happened in the meantime and why is this video finally premiering?

00:07:16.820 Well, simple, folks.

00:07:18.820 In just a little over half a decade, the world has become exponentially crazier.

00:07:25.820 In the hindsight of 2020, that video is not a prank.

00:07:29.820 Rather, it turns out that we were simply way, way, way ahead of the curve.

00:07:35.820 That's because the trans community is no longer all about men pretending to be women and vice versa.

00:07:41.820 Rather, being trans these days is all about identifying as another species, from cats and dogs to horses and bears. 1.00

00:07:52.820 Evidence abounds with some people actually spending tens of thousands of dollars on a costume in order to look like a different critter.

00:08:03.820 Golly, what would Sir Charles Darwin say if he were alive today?

00:08:09.820 Case in point, earlier this month, we aired our report on the curious case of Cody Dentremont, a.k.a. Desiree Anderson.

00:08:19.820 This reprobate is a biological man who then decided to identify as a female in order to get into a woman's shelter in Windsor, Ontario.

00:08:32.820 By the way, check out this photo of Cody.

00:08:35.820 I mean, come on.

00:08:37.820 He's not even trying to look like a female.

00:08:40.820 Who does he think he is, Ash, a.k.a. Tommy Davis?

00:08:44.820 That's that male rugby player who plays for the Fergus Highlanders women's rugby team?

00:08:50.820 I mean, say what you will about Kerry Look Lemieux, the Oakville Trafalgar High School shop school teacher who is likely suffering from autogenophilia.

00:09:01.820 But at least Busty Lemieux makes an effort to look female, albeit a grotesque caricature of a female. 1.00

00:09:10.820 I mean, Busty Lemieux straps on a set of Zed Cup fake boobs and dons a blonde wig and applies copious quantities of makeup to his face so that at least he will appear to be female.

00:09:22.820 Well, from a certain distance.

00:09:24.820 But dudes like Cody and Ash, they're just mailing it in.

00:09:29.820 I just hate laziness, folks.

00:09:31.820 But here's the deal with Mr. Detremont.

00:09:34.820 In April, Cuddly Cody was charged with sexual assault by Windsor police after he allegedly preyed upon a real female at the woman's shelter.

00:09:45.820 Oh, I know, what a shock.

00:09:47.820 Nobody saw that coming, right?

00:09:49.820 But to show you the level of trans sanity out there, even after his arrest, the young female staff at the shelter still are on Team Trans Cody.

00:10:01.820 And insensitive queries about trans people, well, those are strictly verboten.

00:10:08.820 Here, check it out.

00:10:09.820 How does a biological male get into a female shelter, ma'am? 0.99

00:10:13.820 It was a transgender woman.

00:10:15.820 So that's my only comment that I'm going to say about that.

00:10:18.820 Okay.

00:10:19.820 But at the end of the day, that's a man, right?

00:10:21.820 Transgender woman.

00:10:22.820 Okay.

00:10:23.820 But don't you see that there is an inherent danger?

00:10:26.820 That's my only comment.

00:10:27.820 That's my only comment.

00:10:28.820 She's a transgender woman.

00:10:29.820 So we take trans women here because they are women. 1.00

00:10:32.820 Please don't film me.

00:10:33.820 Thank you.

00:10:34.820 Well, you're in a public place.

00:10:35.820 No, I'm actually at my workplace.

00:10:37.820 But please don't film me.

00:10:39.820 Thank you.

00:10:40.820 There's no expectation of privacy in an open place like this, ma'am.

00:10:43.820 So we are going to have to call the police.

00:10:44.820 Okay.

00:10:45.820 For standing on a sidewalk?

00:10:46.820 Please don't film me.

00:10:47.820 Thank you.

00:10:48.820 Okay.

00:10:49.820 But you approached us.

00:10:50.820 You interrupted us.

00:10:51.820 I'm approaching you because you're filming my clients and our property.

00:10:53.820 No, we're not filming your clients.

00:10:55.820 You're quite wrong about that.

00:10:57.820 What's your opinion of a biological man staying with biological people?

00:11:01.820 I'm just going to call the police.

00:11:03.820 Wow.

00:11:04.820 Woke indoctrination.

00:11:05.820 Such a sad thing, isn't it?

00:11:08.820 Indeed, I never dreamed I would run into biological women who are essentially misogynists, 1.00

00:11:14.820 all in the name of accommodating so-called transgendered people.

00:11:19.820 And yet, here we are, folks.

00:11:21.820 And what's the deal with this knee-jerk response when it comes to calling upon law enforcement

00:11:28.820 if you don't like the questions of a journalist?

00:11:31.820 It's bizarre.

00:11:32.820 But here's the deal.

00:11:34.820 Since being charged, Cody has reinvented himself yet again, going from male to female to feline.

00:11:43.820 Oh, it's true!

00:11:45.820 It's bad truth!

00:11:48.820 Yes, Catwoman Cody, who is apparently currently out on bail, is walking the mean streets of Windsor these days 1.00

00:11:55.820 wearing Halloween cat props such as pointy ears and a tiger tail.

00:12:00.820 You know, we tried to track him-her-it down earlier this month in his habitat,

00:12:05.820 but this cat is as elusive as the Arctic lynx, a.k.a. the ghost of the north.

00:12:12.820 However, while at the shelter, we met a resident there who told us that, yes, indeed, Cody the female

00:12:19.820 is currently identifying as Cody the feline.

00:12:23.820 And ma'am, we reached out to someone who's, you know, knows about this shelter and has friends here.

00:12:30.820 And she told us, and I'm not making this up, I wish I were, that right now this Cody Dentremont

00:12:37.820 is identifying as a cat.

00:12:40.820 Yes, he is. Yes.

00:12:43.820 How does one identify as a cat? He dresses up as a cat.

00:12:46.820 Yeah, I believe he does. I've never seen him dress up.

00:12:50.820 But he does identify as a cat now. Man, woman, and cat.

00:12:54.820 So, he was a man, he became a woman, now he's a cat.

00:12:57.820 It sounds to me, and I'm not trying to be mean here, I'm not making a joke, but, well, shouldn't he be getting psychiatric treatment?

00:13:04.820 There's a lot of people that need psychiatric treatment, and there's a lot of people that need help.

00:13:08.820 But they're not getting it, they're dying.

00:13:10.820 You know, kudos to this lady for taking ownership of a dog. 1.00

00:13:13.820 Man's best friend is a true ally indeed when it comes to dealing with creeps or cats.

00:13:20.820 And these days, Cody Dentremont fits both descriptors.

00:13:25.820 But let's move from pseudo-pussycats to counterfeit canines.

00:13:31.820 As my beloved colleague Alexa Lavois discovered at the Montreal Gay Pride Parade earlier this month,

00:13:37.820 Apparently the T in LGBT now stands for trans species in the form of dogmen, 0.98

00:13:46.820 some of whom actually brought along a doghouse on wheels. Check out this snippet.

00:13:52.820 For the most part, yes. Maybe a dance club at 3 o'clock in the morning, no.

00:13:57.820 But this sort of thing, middle of the afternoon, the parade, I think it's a great educational experience for kids and bring it on.

00:14:04.820 Doggone it. Where the hell is animal control when you really need them, eh?

00:14:09.820 And you know something? I spotted something completely different at the 5'11 mark of Alexa's video.

00:14:17.820 Here, please check it out.

00:14:18.820 What the hell? That was neither man nor beast, but I've seen this thing before.

00:14:24.820 Oh yes, that's right. It's from the Star Trek episode, Arena. That was obviously a Gorn. 0.99

00:14:34.820 Okay, would you believe the Montrealer was a Gorn in blackface? 0.86

00:14:49.820 But good golly, is this where we're now headed with transgenderism? 1.00

00:14:55.820 Even being a different species is now passé?

00:15:00.820 Now the final frontier is mimicking a different life form?

00:15:05.820 A fictional critter that is entirely alien to planet Earth?

00:15:09.820 Wow! Talk about where no man has gone before.

00:15:13.820 And that's the thing. You saw how I was treated as a trans cat back in 2017 when I was briefly on display at the cat show.

00:15:24.820 There was a collective freak out. No acceptance. No reasonable accommodation.

00:15:30.820 It wasn't even a matter of trans cats go to the back of the bus.

00:15:34.820 It was trans cats get off the damn bus. 1.00

00:15:37.820 But here's the thing folks.

00:15:39.820 I have a feeling that if I replicated this stunt at next month's pet expo cat show,

00:15:45.820 things would be a whole lot different.

00:15:49.820 I don't think I'd be treated like a patient who just escaped from Arkham Asylum, but rather I'd be looked upon as a sensitive individual who is merely conveying his inner cat.

00:16:03.820 And I think if security were to frog march me out the building like they did back in 2017,

00:16:09.820 well, I would have reasonable grounds for an Ontario Human Rights Commission complaint.

00:16:15.820 And me thinks after the tribunal heard my case, this cat would be walking out of that fake courtroom with a real six-figure check. 0.99

00:16:26.820 Alas, what was once considered to be mental illness is now looked upon as diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:16:35.820 And if you, Mr. and Mrs. Law-abiding Normal Canadian, have a problem with that,

00:16:42.820 well, it is you that shall be dispatched to a mental health institution.

00:16:48.820 You know, for some reprogramming, it's for your own good, you understand.

00:16:55.820 Yeah, I know. Talk about the tail wagging the dog.

00:17:07.820 Well, folks, perhaps all of us, when we were younger and dumber, as the saying goes,

00:17:13.820 well, we've done some really boneheaded things, perhaps even doing things that resulted in a criminal charge.

00:17:20.820 But these days, law enforcement and the justice system, they've become increasingly politicized.

00:17:28.820 Case in point, my guest is the father of a 15-year-old boy.

00:17:32.820 In June, this boy, along with his friend, were horsing around in East End Toronto.

00:17:40.820 They ended up stealing an item and they vandalized it.

00:17:44.820 It was regretful. It was dumb.

00:17:47.820 But the end result is hate crime charges for damaging an inanimate object.

00:17:55.820 What gives?

00:17:57.820 And joining me now is John.

00:17:59.820 That's not his real name, folks.

00:18:01.820 John has requested anonymity for this interview, which we have granted.

00:18:05.820 First of all, welcome to the Ezreal Event Show.

00:18:08.820 John, right off the bat, do tell us what happened on that June night.

00:18:17.820 There was a bunch of young boys.

00:18:19.820 My son was one of them.

00:18:21.820 And what they were doing is going around the neighborhood and ringing in people's doorbells and running away.

00:18:26.820 Juvenile behavior, you know, not the greatest thing to do, but something I remember doing myself when I was young.

00:18:33.820 There were probably eight to a dozen boys that were participating in this.

00:18:41.820 Again, all young, all, you know, pushing each other to be tougher, smarter, braver, manlier, etc.

00:18:50.820 Typical, typical teenage adolescent behavior.

00:18:54.820 Now, one of these boys, not my son, grabbed a pride flag in addition to ringing the doorbell and ran with it.

00:19:06.820 And later on, apparently, that pride flag was burned, damaged.

00:19:13.820 Now, the owner of that home had a security camera and he captured the image of the boy who took the flag.

00:19:24.820 The police were called and they started to interview all the boys whose images were captured.

00:19:29.820 My son was one of the boys who the police interviewed.

00:19:33.820 They said to him, look, we know you didn't do it.

00:19:36.820 And we want to just struggle with you and read you the riot act.

00:19:42.820 You need to be careful what you and who you associate with and don't associate with people who get you to do dumb things.

00:19:48.820 All things I agree with.

00:19:50.820 The one thing that I didn't agree with was a police officer who spoke with me and said that the young boy who took the flag had been charged with a hate crime.

00:19:59.820 I was absolutely shocked.

00:20:02.820 Now, I don't agree that this boy stole someone's property off their porch.

00:20:07.820 That's wrong.

00:20:08.820 And I think that them being caught for that is appropriate.

00:20:11.820 I think them having some level of punishment for taking someone's property, burning it, is absolutely appropriate. 0.94

00:20:19.820 But to me, a hate crime, I myself have a background of coming from a country steeped in tyranny.

00:20:26.820 And in my home country, I experienced real so-called hate crimes.

00:20:32.820 People would physically accost us, assault us.

00:20:36.820 They defaced our property and would say things about our ethnic background in their defacement of our property.

00:20:47.820 Nasty things, vile things.

00:20:49.820 I'm not a fan of any of that stuff.

00:20:52.820 But boys being boys, stealing a flag, even burning a flag, isn't the same thing.

00:21:00.820 These are just boys that want to tweak their noses at what they see to be authority.

00:21:06.820 And in this case, the authority are the folks that are pushing pride.

00:21:10.820 And I want you to know, even though I am from a country steeped in tyranny, growing up my best friend was a gay man.

00:21:18.820 He was very nervous about letting me know that he was gay.

00:21:21.820 Because I came from a country where that was historically not tolerated very well.

00:21:26.820 When he finally told me, he said, I thought you were going to hate me.

00:21:29.820 He said, no, man, you're a brother to me. I love you. It's, you know, you're gay. I'm straight. It's all good.

00:21:36.820 Live and let live used to be the order of the day.

00:21:40.820 I was in my 20s attending pride parades back in the days when it was just, you know, one day on the weekend and all sorts of things.

00:21:50.820 You know, I have been somebody who has had gay people around him in his life and has treated them no different than I treat anybody else.

00:21:59.820 Someone's sexual orientation, in my opinion, is none of my business. 1.00

00:22:02.820 It's their business, just like my sexual orientation is none of your business. It's my business.

00:22:06.820 As long as we're doing this with consenting adults, no one's getting hurt. There's not a problem.

00:22:11.820 And I can tell you that my friend, who's unfortunately passed away right now, he would be appalled at what's being done to these young boys. Appalled.

00:22:21.820 You know, John, that is interesting. You've said a lot that, you know, we need to unpack here.

00:22:28.820 First of all, I agree, you know, the crimes, as far as I can tell, it was theft. It was destruction of property.

00:22:35.820 And yes, there should be consequences. And we know because these boys are young offenders, you know, the consequences will not be all that severe.

00:22:45.820 But when you introduce this element of a hate crime, you see, I thought basically the scope of a hate crime is if you went after somebody for their ethnicity,

00:22:57.820 their religion, their sexual orientation, you know, if you advocated harm to them or actually carried out harm to them for those reasons.

00:23:07.820 Yeah, I get it. It's hateful. It's a hate crime. But as I said in the intro, John, this was an inanimate object.

00:23:16.820 It's easily replaceable. There can be compensation paid. Why is it that this meets the benchmark of a hate crime to begin with?

00:23:30.820 I can only speculate as to why that is. But based on what the police officer said, that there was a lot of pressure from up on high in the police department for them to make an arrest.

00:23:42.820 We didn't come out and say, you know, who the up on high pressure was. And it would be speculation on my part, but that would be at the highest levels of the police department.

00:23:53.820 And he also stated that that pressure came from the highest levels of the police department because they in turn were pressured by the highest levels of government politicians telling them to come down hard on these types of quote unquote hate crimes.

00:24:14.000 You know, John, I find this absolutely astonishing because if you look at what we are dealing with in so many major cities in this country, it's a direct result of the Justin Trudeau laissez-faire attitude to crime and punishment.

00:24:33.040 You have people who have been charged with attempted murder out on parole, violating routinely their bail conditions.

00:24:42.380 These are bad dudes causing real harm. And you're telling me the political class and I guess the brass at the Toronto Police Service, they were hot to trot on this because this was a pride flag. 0.82

00:24:57.800 Again, an inanimate object. And yes, it shouldn't have been stolen. It shouldn't have been destroyed, but it looks like they are using a bazooka to kill a fly.

00:25:08.180 Yes, 1,000%. And I want to say something this way. And again, this is pure speculation on my part. But the boys in question are not what you would call Canadian born white children.

00:25:26.560 They are the children of immigrants, all right? And they're boys. And for the political leadership of the city of Toronto, who's in charge of the police department, to say that they're going to get the police to come down hard on these boys, smacks of racial bias on the part of the political leadership.

00:25:51.160 And in particular, the mayor, Olivia Chow. It is my opinion that Olivia Chow is a holier than thou person who points one finger out screaming racist, bad, evil. 1.00

00:26:03.780 She's doing this with the attempting to rename Dundas Street, which was named after Henry Dundas, a noted abolitionist.

00:26:12.160 And she is claiming he's a racist. And three fingers are pointing back at her. And she is the one, in my opinion, by calling a man who was an abolitionist or racist to showing her own racial bias for a man who defended black people in a time where there was real cost to that shows that she has some racial bias toward people that aren't of the same background as her to me.

00:26:37.780 And progressives have always been the true racists. I believe progressivism itself is a racist ideology.

00:26:45.040 And right now, all they're doing is they're hiding it. The way that they're hiding it is they're using Saul Alinsky's methodology, which is to scream and yell and say, no, it's you, when it truly is them.

00:26:54.740 There is racism in their heart. There's racism in the heart of progressives all over the place.

00:27:00.600 And I personally, even though I'm doing it on the shield of anonymity here, and I appreciate that, call out Mayor Olivia Chow for her racism and going after boys of color and attributing motives to them that they don't have.

00:27:13.320 They're just trying to be boys proving their own manhood, which boys have done along the way.

00:27:20.280 And I'm not saying it was the right thing to do or a good thing to do.

00:27:23.540 But to equate this with somebody going and finding a gay man and beating them half to death because they're gay is appalling.

00:27:32.220 It's absolutely appalling. This woman ought to be ashamed and embarrassed of herself. 1.00

00:27:36.300 And who put this on boys, young boys of color from Middle Eastern cultures, where the attitudes, let's be honest, there are not the same as the attitudes of people who've lived here for generations and leaving no time for assimilation, no time for understanding, shows to me that Olivia Chow is part of the problem and not part of the solution.

00:27:58.220 Her late husband, Jack Layton, is a man who I never necessarily agreed with.

00:28:02.640 But I'll tell you this, before he died, he touched my heart because he obviously cared about this country very deeply.

00:28:09.700 And he obviously, even though I believe he was mistaken in many of his policy prescriptions, had a message of unity for people.

00:28:15.960 She does not.

00:28:17.540 And to go after boys is wrong.

00:28:21.200 To go after boys of color is wrong.

00:28:23.440 And to pretend that you are some champion of anti-racism while doing it is the worst of all.

00:28:29.320 And I would hope that this video goes viral enough that enough people see the true color is going to be a challenge.

00:28:36.260 He never comes near elected office again.

00:28:38.620 You know, John, you've touched upon something profound there.

00:28:43.700 And I'm going to speak about an analogy my boss, Ezra Levent, makes when it comes to the human rights racket.

00:28:52.040 It's like a poker game.

00:28:53.640 And by that I mean, if you are, say, a white, able-bodied, Christian male, that's maybe a seven of clubs, right?

00:29:04.020 But if you are a minority, if you are a person of color, if you are disabled, and on and on it goes, suddenly you become a pair, a full house, a royal flush. 0.96

00:29:20.680 And I think what we see here right now when it comes to the pinnacle of the human rights pyramid, basically the beloved group of the day right now is the LGBT community.

00:29:38.640 This is the ultimate sacred cow.

00:29:40.740 This is the royal flush. 0.72

00:29:43.000 And therefore, because that was a rainbow flag that was stolen and burned, as opposed to, say, a Canadian flag, that's why the powers that be want to make an example out of these kids.

00:29:58.200 What say you, my friend?

00:29:59.200 Bang on, 100%.

00:30:02.880 And it's despicable.

00:30:04.780 It's virtue signaling that it's the very worst.

00:30:07.120 It has nothing to do with teaching these young boys how to become better boys, better men, which is what our political leaders should be trying to do.

00:30:16.240 And, John, tell me, where does this stand right now?

00:30:19.400 I guess eventually it'll go to some kind of trial.

00:30:22.380 I guess the lucky thing for these kids is that they are under 18.

00:30:26.900 Therefore, they are young offenders.

00:30:28.140 It's not the same kind of a penalty that would apply to those that are the age of majority.

00:30:33.860 But what is the potential penalty if, for example, this boy is committed or, sorry, convicted of committing a hate crime, which, as far as I can tell, is really just theft and property damage?

00:30:51.720 I can't answer that question because I'm not an expert on the niceties of the law.

00:30:55.960 But if you bring on an attorney, I'm sure they'll be able to give you a deeper, fuller answer.

00:31:01.880 And I encourage you to do that.

00:31:02.940 But I can tell you that just based on a cursory understanding of hate crime law, there are deeper penalties associated with a crime if it's considered a hate crime than if it were not considered a hate crime.

00:31:18.820 So, for example, if you just beat somebody up and broke their jaw, you might go to prison for six months.

00:31:25.040 But if you broke their jaw because you didn't like them because of their ethnicity or their sexual orientation, that could add one, two, three, five years to the prison sentence.

00:31:33.140 So, it definitely is an accelerator of the punishment.

00:31:37.260 That I can say with confidence.

00:31:38.940 But how much it is, I can't speak to that.

00:31:41.340 And, John, can you tell me a little bit about the mindset of this boy that burned the flag and of your own son in light of the police getting involved the way they did?

00:31:52.860 How are they feeling right now?

00:31:54.700 Has this shook them up or is it just water off a duck's back?

00:31:59.240 Well, I can't speak for that young boy because I have not been in touch with him.

00:32:04.720 And I am not in touch with him.

00:32:07.720 For my son, at the time, it was very salutary.

00:32:11.220 I had a chat with him and said, A, burning property and damaging property is always wrong.

00:32:17.040 And I also sat down with him and said to him, listen, you're living in a time where if you take action against somebody and it's perceived that it's done for, you know,

00:32:28.000 bias reasons, whether you meant it or not, the consequences to you can be potentially horrific.

00:32:34.620 So, you need to be like Caesar's wife, above suspicion.

00:32:38.760 That message took hold.

00:32:40.240 But he's a 15-year-old boy.

00:32:41.900 He's moving on with life as he should be, as all 15-year-olds should be.

00:32:46.760 And this other boy, I don't know what he's dealing with.

00:32:50.480 I frankly can't even tell you I'm sure the charges have stuck.

00:32:52.920 It's possible they may have not stuck.

00:32:54.920 But that's something perhaps your investigative team can look into.

00:32:58.300 But what I can tell you with a lot of confidence is this.

00:33:02.420 We should have never come to this.

00:33:04.380 The police should have just had a chat with this boy, made him go apologize to the individual whose property he damaged,

00:33:10.340 forced him to give restitution and have the boy's parents go and do the same.

00:33:15.460 In addition to restitution, maybe provide the individual with some gesture, a gift, something to show remorse.

00:33:24.180 And that shouldn't have been the end of it.

00:33:25.680 There should have been no jail time.

00:33:26.960 There should have been nothing.

00:33:28.160 And then the police should have said, you've been warned.

00:33:30.800 If this happens again, you are going to get deeper consequences.

00:33:35.080 I'm with you.

00:33:37.200 You know, John, we've got just a few moments left.

00:33:40.800 But I'm with you, John.

00:33:42.620 I think this is an overreaction to the crime that was committed.

00:33:47.880 Don't get me wrong.

00:33:48.700 I have empathy for this homeowner.

00:33:50.640 Nobody likes to see property being stolen and then vandalized or set on fire.

00:33:57.280 I get that.

00:33:58.260 He should be compensated for his loss 100%.

00:34:01.220 There should be some kind, yeah.

00:34:05.120 And it's more than just compensation.

00:34:06.800 I agree.

00:34:08.100 There should be more than just, here's your flag back.

00:34:11.400 There should be something more than that.

00:34:12.760 But it shouldn't ruin this young man's life.

00:34:15.500 That's the main point.

00:34:16.720 And let's hope it doesn't.

00:34:19.000 I mean, of course, there's a publication ban on crimes that young offenders commit.

00:34:25.380 I mean, you cannot name that person unless they're dangerous and at large.

00:34:29.840 And then that's only a temporary thing.

00:34:32.100 So we will try to find out when this trial is going to happen, find out what does indeed happen at the end of the day.

00:34:41.820 John, I'm sorry this happened.

00:34:43.700 Sorry for everybody, really.

00:34:44.900 But, again, I think an overreaction.

00:34:47.900 It's just like you see in some municipalities.

00:34:49.820 There are pride crosswalks being painted, typically at $12,000 a crack.

00:34:57.540 And if somebody leaves a skid mark, that is considered to be a hate crime.

00:35:01.860 I don't know why we're painting rainbows on roads in the first place, but that's a story for another day.

00:35:07.220 But I think, yeah, you know, but at the end of the day, this is really no harm done to an individual or a group of individuals.

00:35:23.480 I don't think it's a bona fide hate crime.

00:35:27.280 Last word goes to you, John.

00:35:29.100 We live in Canada, the greatest nation on the face of the planet.

00:35:38.680 This is a country where the people truly have love in their hearts for one another.

00:35:44.320 I do not experience racism on a day-to-day basis, and I'm obviously not a man born here.

00:35:50.320 And most people just want to have a sense that their lives are working, that they can create enough income and a future for themselves and those that they love.

00:36:03.240 And they want to have something to feel proud of, and they've always felt proud of being Canadian, of our tolerant nature, of the fact that we're really amazing at hockey, and things like that.

00:36:14.940 That's what I see day-to-day around me.

00:36:16.960 So I have hope because the Canadian people are good and just.

00:36:21.980 But I'm telling you, our politicians are rotten to the core, to the core.

00:36:26.840 And we all need to wake up, and when some of them behave in a fashion that's designed to divide us, that's designed to cause harm to people,

00:36:38.500 and then they get up and they scream at everybody else and call them racist,

00:36:41.700 we need to stand up against that in the strongest possible terms.

00:36:47.340 And those who yell racist the loudest are themselves the deepest, most committed bigots on the face of the planet,

00:36:53.900 and those are the ones that we must never allow on your power ever again.

00:36:58.220 John, thank you so much for your time.

00:37:00.920 And please reach out to us if you find out about any further developments regarding the court cases that are about to emerge.

00:37:09.700 Thank you once again, my friend.

00:37:12.640 My pleasure.

00:37:21.980 Well, folks, lots of feedback to the last time I hosted the Ezra Levin show regarding my monologue on continued transanity on the rugby field,

00:37:32.460 and my interview with Franco Teresano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation pertaining to those tax on taxes that we pay every time we gas up the car.

00:37:47.000 Canuck in Kyoto writes,

00:37:48.900 We knew decades ago that recycling, paper replaced by plastic slash paper being recycled until it is grey in colour, would lead to sick forests.

00:38:00.900 Trees must be cut in order to rejuvenate forests.

00:38:04.840 By disallowing trees to be cut, lumbering, and allowing paper companies to manage healthy forests,

00:38:11.920 we've created a perfect fuel source for forest fires.

00:38:16.160 You know, I agree with you.

00:38:17.440 A lot of these fires, I feel, could have been prevented by proper forest management.

00:38:23.660 But then again, you get those aged hippies out there blocking the roads, preventing forestry from occurring, 1.00

00:38:30.660 and the end result?

00:38:32.660 Well, look at the infernos we've seen across our great dominion this summer.

00:38:36.980 Unbelievable.

00:38:37.480 Free West Guy writes,

00:38:40.120 The whole point of the fake climate change narrative is to make you feel guilty,

00:38:46.960 and that you are destroying the environment, heating your home, using your electricity, and driving your car.

00:38:53.480 Then the government can make you pay stupid carbon taxes,

00:38:57.480 which do nothing to assuage the fake problem that they made up.

00:39:02.600 You know, I totally agree.

00:39:04.240 And wouldn't it be kind of nice if the climate crusaders in government, you know,

00:39:09.240 at least pretended to practice what they preach?

00:39:11.900 Case in point, whenever Prime Minister Blackface shows up at an event, 0.96

00:39:15.620 there's an eight-vehicle entourage.

00:39:17.760 They're not electric vehicles.

00:39:19.540 They're not even plug-in hybrids.

00:39:21.300 They are giant SUVs that are fuelled with fossil fuels.

00:39:26.640 They have V, they have eight-cylinder engines, and, oh, by the way,

00:39:31.180 they continue to idle to keep them warm in the winter and nicely air-conditioned in the summer.

00:39:36.980 Yeah, so when Blackface sets an example, I think the rest of us should follow suit.

00:39:43.640 But don't hold your breath.

00:39:45.940 My Two Cents writes,

00:39:48.900 How high would Josh Windsor bounce, I wonder?

00:39:52.960 Well, Josh Windsor, he is the president of the Waterloo County Rugby Club.

00:39:59.120 And if you didn't see the monologue, folks, this guy, and I'll call him a misogynist,

00:40:04.840 this guy actually issued a directive to all the female Waterloo players

00:40:11.640 that if they were nasty to Ash Davis, they could be fired from the team.

00:40:18.120 And if he deemed that their nastiness was hateful, he was going to call the Waterloo Regional Police.

00:40:26.400 What an absolute despicable disgrace to the concept of chivalry.

00:40:32.560 Well, folks, that wraps up tonight's edition of the Ezra Event Show.

00:40:35.920 I believe the big boss man is back in the studio tomorrow.

00:40:39.740 In the meantime, as always, stay safe and stay sane.

00:40:48.120 Thank you.

00:41:02.400 We'll be right back.

00:41:03.760 We'll see you soon.
