Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Canada has learned nothing from 9⧸11 about Islamic extremism, open borders immigration

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Today is the anniversary of 9-11. It's almost a quarter of a century. Can

00:00:05.240 you believe it? And I hate to say it, but I don't think we've learned a single lesson. We're making

00:00:09.140 all of the same mistakes again and worse. And one of the mistakes I want to talk to you about today

00:00:14.580 is mass immigration from countries that hate us. And I'll take you through the latest poll on that.

00:00:21.320 But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber of Rebel News Plus. That's the

00:00:24.680 video version of this podcast. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe. It's eight

00:00:29.360 a month. And you not only get the video version, but you support Rebel News because we don't get

00:00:34.040 any money from Trudeau. We've been demonetized by big tech companies like YouTube. So it's really

00:00:39.660 just you. But, you know, enough people chip in eight bucks here, eight bucks there, and we can

00:00:44.880 pay the whole company. That's how we pay our bills. All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:59.360 Tonight, immigration reform goes mainstream. It's September 11th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:14.040 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:17.560 It's September 11th, the terrible anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in modern history. 0.94

00:01:31.920 The day when Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners

00:01:38.780 packed with civilians, killed the pilots, and then careened the jets kamikaze style into civilian

00:01:45.100 targets. The first two were the enormous World Trade Center towers in New York City. The next one

00:01:50.620 was aimed at the Pentagon, and the last hijacked plane managed to learn, the passengers learn what

00:01:56.120 was going on, and they had a rebellion against the hijackers, and then in the end, the plane crashed

00:02:00.780 into a field. It's assumed that plane was targeting the U.S. Congress. It's hard to believe that ominous

00:02:09.600 day in 2001 is almost a quarter century ago now, and in many ways, we've learned nothing from it.

00:02:17.720 Everything that went wrong that day, all of the trends that combined into a terrible, perfect storm

00:02:23.440 are actually all worse now. The acceptance of Islamic extremism in our society, open borders, immigration, 1.00

00:02:32.040 politically correct prohibitions about talking about different cultures.

00:02:36.240 You know, I was in New York last year, and I went to the 9-11 Museum and Memorial, and I highly

00:02:42.200 recommend it. Even though I feel like I knew the story, I was so glad to go. It was very somber. It

00:02:48.280 was very sad, very infuriating, and you need to feel those things again. The highlight for me was the

00:02:54.440 tour guides, real New Yorkers who speak from the heart, and I loved deeply that they answered every single

00:03:01.860 question put to them, including questions that you might think would be, quote, offensive,

00:03:06.820 questions from 9-11 truthers. I was very impressed that they calmly and with facts and arguments

00:03:13.700 persuasively answered questions that 9-11 skeptics often ask, such as, can steel beams really melt in

00:03:21.260 the fire, and what about this building or that building? Not only did I learn a lot about 9-11 and

00:03:26.140 remember a lot that I had known, but I learned about the power of answering controversial questions

00:03:31.900 honestly, without anger, even hostile questions about things you're not supposed to question.

00:03:37.560 There's a free speech lesson there. The people who asked those conspiracy questions got a great answer,

00:03:44.660 and I think it probably turned them around more than just brushing them off. Here's what I said about

00:03:48.900 that to John Stossel when I did an interview with him about free speech a couple months ago.

00:03:53.480 If someone doesn't know about the Holocaust and wants to ask questions about it and is smashed down

00:04:01.080 and called you're a hater, you're an anti-Semite, that's probably not going to convince them that the

00:04:06.520 Holocaust was real. Whereas if you air the question out and have a debate and answer the questions. 0.95

00:04:11.720 I did a tour of the 9-11 Museum and Memorial in Manhattan, and in the Q&A with the tour guide,

00:04:20.580 everyone asked their conspiracy theories. I was actually shocked with the questions that were put

00:04:25.800 to the tour guide. And he didn't say shut up.

00:04:28.180 Can the CIA do this? Yeah. And how can metal burn? Like, how does steel, how does fire melt steel?

00:04:35.100 Like, every theory I'd ever heard in the corners of the internet, people put it to the tour guide.

00:04:40.780 And instead of saying, how dare you? That's disinformation. He calmly, and in a loving way,

00:04:47.520 actually, explained the answer. And I think it turned some minds around. And that's the analogy I would

00:04:54.820 use on the Holocaust. There are many conspiracy theories. It didn't happen. It was less than 6 0.74

00:04:59.640 million. It's a hoax. Okay, that's out there. Whether you ban the conversation or not, it's out

00:05:06.540 there. How about being like that wonderful tour guide at the 9-11 Museum and calmly proving and

00:05:12.380 answering and disabusing people of falsehoods? You're not going to convince everybody. But I left

00:05:18.200 thinking that guy knows his stuff. I trust him. And the tone in which he answered was compelling.

00:05:24.140 By the way, I don't think I've shared that full interview with you yet. I was a few months ago in

00:05:28.580 New York. I think it was a whole hour that interview about free speech. I think I did okay in it. We'll

00:05:34.120 have to play the whole thing for you one day. But back to my main point. I don't think we've learned

00:05:39.540 the lessons of 9-11, have we? Look at the appeasement of Islamic extremists today in 2024. It's much worse 0.66

00:05:47.360 than it was back in 2001. Because of mass immigration since then, it's like we deliberately 0.80

00:05:52.580 oversampled from the parts of the world where Islamic extremism is a problem. We've loaded up 0.99

00:05:58.780 on Islamic extremist immigrants. Not a week goes by in Canada where there's not another arrest of a

00:06:04.500 terrorist in the late planning stages. One of these days, we won't catch them in time. As Norm

00:06:11.360 McDonald joked, the late Norm McDonald, he said, what terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear 0.98

00:06:18.000 device and kill 50 million Americans, imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims. He's so 1.00

00:06:24.000 funny, the late, great Norm McDonald. Not only did we not fix the old problems, we created new

00:06:32.360 problems. Instead, we brought in a massive surveillance state spying on us, not just our

00:06:36.980 foreign enemies. Violations of our civil liberties, so we just learned to accept. Like the security theater 1.00

00:06:42.320 at airports, it's never actually caught a terrorist. But we normalized violations of our privacy and even

00:06:48.360 having the government grope our personal bodies. Don't tell me that 20 years of airport groping

00:06:53.560 didn't desensitize the mass population to the government commandeering our bodies with their

00:06:59.600 COVID mandates. I mean, we gave up our body autonomy to be groped, didn't we? We're less free now. And we

00:07:07.400 didn't solve the actual problems of mass immigration and Islamic extremism. And we created new problems,

00:07:12.260 like trying to set up colonies in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which have failed. I mean,

00:07:17.940 you really have to admit the terrorists have won. Which brings me to the subject of the day.

00:07:24.520 Mass immigration in 2024. At a level never before seen in Canada. Two million people a year Trudeau is

00:07:32.520 bringing in. Just astonishing. A million are foreign students. Obviously, most of those are fraudulent or 1.00

00:07:39.140 fake students. They're just paying tuition to come into the country. In addition to that, there's

00:07:44.400 three quarters of a million temporary foreign workers who aren't so temporary. And why are we

00:07:49.800 bringing them in? So that foreign multinationals like McDonald's or Tim Hortons, which is now owned

00:07:54.940 by a Brazil megafund, by the way, so they can save a buck an hour in salaries instead of hiring Canadian

00:08:01.340 workers. And then we take fake refugees. Sorry, there are no actual refugees from India or Mexico,

00:08:08.840 yet those are two of the biggest sources of refugees to this country. So you're not a refugee

00:08:14.540 from Mexico. I wouldn't want to live there. Parts of it I wouldn't mind, but you're not a refugee. It's 1.00

00:08:20.040 all a scam and we know it. Hey, did you see this insanity from Mark Miller, whose sole qualification

00:08:26.740 for being immigration minister is that he was in Trudeau's wedding party? Take a look at this.

00:08:31.760 I've been getting questions about an individual that entered Canada and has been arrested in charges

00:08:37.980 related to an attempt to cross the border for a terrorist plot. I can confirm that Mohammed Khan 0.99

00:08:46.440 is a Pakistani national who entered Canada on May or was issued a visa in May of 2023

00:08:54.300 and was given and entered Canada on the 24th of June of the same year, so 2023.

00:09:00.940 So yeah, he's in charge of not getting us killed. Good luck to us all. But people are getting fed up

00:09:07.000 by it. We're still scared, I suppose, a little bit of being called racist, but not so much. So we laugh

00:09:15.140 about things sometimes. Did you see the debate last night between Trump and Harris? Trump talking about

00:09:19.500 how Haitian migrants are allegedly raiding pets in the town of Springfield, Ohio?

00:09:24.980 They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is what's

00:09:33.020 happening in our country. And it's a shame. As far as rallies are concerned, as far as the reason

00:09:39.940 they go is they like what I say. They want to bring our country back. They want to make America great

00:09:45.640 again. It's a very simple phrase. Make America great again. She's destroying this country. And

00:09:50.940 if she becomes president, this country doesn't have a chance of success. Not only success, 1.00

00:09:56.520 we'll end up being Venezuela on steroids. 0.57

00:09:59.780 Sort of funny, sort of crazy. It's a way of talking about immigration. By the way, 0.98

00:10:03.620 our David Menzies is on his way down to Springfield, Ohio, to see what's up. You can follow him

00:10:08.000 at a website we set up. I don't know if it's up now, but it'll be up by tomorrow,

00:10:12.140 called thetruthaboutspringfield.com. And in Canada, we all had a laugh, sort of,

00:10:19.200 about some of these millions of migrants just pooping on the beach because that's what they 1.00

00:10:25.340 do back home.

00:10:26.260 And I told my kids, if we're going to go on the beach, watch out so you don't step in any

00:10:31.980 human poop.

00:10:32.840 I've heard people are using tents and they're just like doing it in the sand so no one can

00:10:36.100 see. I think it's really gross.

00:10:37.980 They're digging holes and they're pooping and putting tents up because they don't want to go to

00:10:41.000 the washrooms. And I'm here to fact check that because that's not a lie, so.

00:10:45.420 It makes me not want to swim and not want to be on the beach.

00:10:48.720 To be a responsible parent, you should be showing your kids that you can actually throw out their

00:10:52.620 diaper in the washroom, not bury it at a beach.

00:10:55.220 Something that's just common sense, like, why would you do that? And they dig a hole

00:10:58.800 and they use it for their bathroom. 0.85

00:11:02.300 Can you imagine the police going to someone's home because you're talking about pooping on 0.99

00:11:07.720 the beach? Not you're doing pooping on the beach, but you're complaining about it.

00:11:11.300 So the police come to give you a lecture and a threat because you're racist or something.

00:11:16.000 Well, people have had enough.

00:11:17.960 Even the Conservative Party, which is usually terrified to talk about immigration, is finally

00:11:22.420 talking about immigration at least a tiny bit.

00:11:25.300 We will also secure our borders to make sure that never again do accused ISIS terrorists

00:11:32.940 get into our country and become citizens of Canada, even after the existence of a video

00:11:41.260 apparently showing that same terrorist mutilating a human body on a crucifix during the ISIS war

00:11:51.300 of over a decade ago. These are the kinds of disastrous mistakes, radical approaches of

00:12:00.080 the Liberal government that must end so that we can replace their costly incompetence with

00:12:06.160 our common sense.

00:12:07.260 But let me show you a poll by Leger, which has very interesting stats in it. Here's the poll

00:12:12.160 itself, as you can see, was commissioned by the National Post. It actually came out two weeks ago,

00:12:16.900 but I think it's still very current, the numbers. The sample size was about 1,600

00:12:20.940 people. Look at page five, some of these summary points. Two-thirds of Canadians, 65%, believe

00:12:27.360 the government of Canada will admit too many immigrants. Only 20% think it will admit the

00:12:33.180 right amount, while 3% believe it will not admit enough. Not enough? Who's saying that?

00:12:41.060 I guess those are the immigration lawyers. And look at the next point. Pretty obvious math,

00:12:45.520 though. Trudeau and Christiana Freeland and Mark Miller don't know it. A majority of Canadians

00:12:49.820 believe that the current immigration rates are contributing to the housing crisis, 78%. To

00:12:56.120 stresses on health care services, 76% think that. And Canada's immigration policy is too

00:13:02.800 generous, 72%. Sort of a mixed bag on Gaza refugees, which I think is insane, which shows we've forgotten 1.00

00:13:10.840 9-11, haven't we? But 64% of people are not confident that the government of Canada is thoroughly

00:13:17.820 screening immigrants from the Middle East. So that implies 36% are fine with it. They must be 1.00

00:13:25.320 diluted. Look at page 19 of the poll. Just 26% of Canadians think the government does a good job

00:13:32.440 checking the background of new immigrants. Of course they don't. In fact, there really are 1.00

00:13:37.700 no checks at all. There's no background checks, no meetings. You used to have an interview to become

00:13:43.920 a Canadian. Not anymore. You just fill out a form online. I mean, you can't do 2 million interviews

00:13:49.780 a year, so they do zero interviews a year. I should point out that these poll numbers worried about

00:13:56.320 immigration are vastly higher than the support for any single party. 60, 70% are opposed. And this is

00:14:04.920 uniform across the country. Men and women, Quebec, English Canada, Atlantic, whatever. Everyone

00:14:10.680 is united on this. And by the way, I don't even think people know how bad the problem is. One of

00:14:15.720 the things this poll shows is that most people don't even know about the temporary foreign workers

00:14:19.600 program. If you were to tell people that we're bringing in foreign workers to undercut people

00:14:25.000 on the first rung of the ladder, of the career ladder, they'd be appalled. And if you talk about,

00:14:30.500 and by the way, this poll is only about legal immigration. It doesn't even talk about illegal

00:14:36.280 immigration, the people who walked across the border at Roxham Road, and the frauds and tricksters

00:14:41.780 who claim they're refugees from places like India and Mexico. Yeah. As I said a moment ago,

00:14:48.780 I think we've learned nothing from 9-11. Stay with us for more. 0.71

00:15:06.280 Well, the Justin Trudeau liberals can be so unoriginal. I remember when they tried to frame

00:15:12.740 the 2022 trucker convoy to Ottawa as a January 6th insurrection. Oh, they wanted that to happen

00:15:20.560 because they had watched the playbook south of the border that the Democrats and their friends

00:15:25.120 in the media had used quite successfully. Alas, that didn't work because the truckers didn't break

00:15:31.000 into anything. They were outside in the cold. It was the most peaceful, large protest in Canadian

00:15:37.660 history. I think one of the reasons why Trudeau's framing didn't work, frankly, was because of

00:15:42.740 independent media like Rebel News. The rest of the media were in on it. They wanted that to be terrified

00:15:49.760 of the truckers. But when you saw the bouncy castles and the hot tubs, it was just hard to be scared.

00:15:54.900 Had that festival feeling, as I say. Well, one of the other plays from the Democratic

00:16:00.900 Party playbook in the States is to talk about Russia, Russia, Russia, and to accuse anyone who

00:16:07.560 disagrees with Justin Trudeau of anything of being in collusion with Vladimir Putin. And it's sort of

00:16:14.400 tough to defend against the accusation that you're in league with a foreign enemy. And I know this from 0.99

00:16:20.680 personal experience. You might remember that a couple of years ago, one of Justin Trudeau's

00:16:24.980 disinformation czars, he's a professor at the University of Calgary named Jean-Christophe Boucher,

00:16:30.200 published a bogus study where he claimed to look at which Twitter accounts were pro-Putin. But the

00:16:38.860 measurements he used were absurd. Like, if you oppose Justin Trudeau, you are pro-Putin. Yeah,

00:16:45.680 no, about 80% of Canadians oppose Trudeau. And we're not all looking for Russia. But it's that 0.53

00:16:51.600 DNC, Democratic Party playbook they're trying to use. Again, it doesn't really work. Remember when

00:16:59.220 the CBC actually claimed that the truckers were in league with Putin. Remember that?

00:17:04.260 I do ask that because, you know, given Canada's support of Ukraine in this current crisis with

00:17:11.020 Russia, I don't know if it's far-fetched to ask. But there is concern that Russian actors could be

00:17:18.800 continuing to fuel things as this protest grows, but perhaps even instigating it from the outset.

00:17:26.920 Well, again, I'm going to defer to our partners in the public safety, the trained officials and

00:17:33.160 experts in that area. Well, I don't think people take that seriously anymore. But I guess word hasn't

00:17:39.300 gone through the dumber regions of the Liberal caucus. Because the other day, a Liberal MP of 0.74

00:17:45.780 no great repute, named Mark Gerritsen, tweeted an accusation at an independent conservative-leaning

00:17:54.560 journalist who happens to be Russian in ethnicity, accusing her of being a paid Russian asset. Not

00:18:03.880 expressing it as an opinion, but saying as a fact that Cat for Canada, who works for the counter-signal,

00:18:13.580 is, well, let me read the tweet to you directly. He said, I finally blocked someone on here.

00:18:19.960 I draw the line at a foreign government paying you to engage with me. Parliament needs to study this,

00:18:28.080 and this person needs to be brought before committee to answer questions. So it's not phrased as a matter

00:18:35.580 of opinion or speculation. It's phrased as a matter of fact, that Cat for Canada is not just a legitimate

00:18:44.740 opposition conservative journalist and activist in Canada, but rather a Russian asset. And joining

00:18:52.400 me now via Skype from Nanaima is Cat for Canada, also known as Cat Panova. Great to see you, Cat.

00:18:58.380 And I'm sorry that this idiot liberal MP is accusing you of being disloyal to Canada and in league with a 1.00

00:19:06.900 foreign dictator. But what I like about you, and you work for Counter-Signal, which is of course a 0.99

00:19:12.420 product of alumnus Kian Bexty, is that you guys aren't taking this lying down. You're not rolling over,

00:19:19.220 are you? No. Thanks for having me, Ezra. Yeah, we have sent Mark Gerritsen a demand letter

00:19:26.320 with certain demands of ours. People can see that on Kian's page, on my page, on the Counter-Signals

00:19:33.280 page. And we do not want to back down because what he's done is egregious. He has used his public

00:19:42.340 office to attack a citizen who is essentially his opponent in terms of politics. And we don't want to

00:19:52.200 let him get away with it. We want to hold him accountable. So that's what we're doing. That's

00:19:57.060 our plan. And I hope people support us in that regard. You know, about a week and a half ago,

00:20:03.500 there was a news item out of the United States. Their Department of Justice is trying to prosecute

00:20:10.020 two Russian nationals who are setting up a covert media company in the United States. It's very

00:20:16.500 interesting, very curious. And there were two Canadians involved with it. One was named Lauren

00:20:22.880 Southern, an alumna of ours, and one is named Lauren Chen. You're obviously not part of that

00:20:30.080 organization. And I think what happened here is Mark Gerritsen saw what was happening in the States

00:20:35.900 and said, uh-huh, I'm just going to extrapolate. I'm just going to, it's cool again to accuse people

00:20:42.240 of being Russian spies. I don't like this cat for Canada, Cat Panova. I'm just going to say it.

00:20:49.740 And really, who's going to fact check me? The CBC? The CBC never fact checks liberals. So he,

00:20:55.260 it's not that he said, oh, Cat Panova is sympathetic to Russia. And I don't really think you are

00:21:00.920 sympathetic to Putin. It's not that he said, I think, or I believe, or it looks like. He said

00:21:07.320 categorically that you are paid by Putin to basically engage and harass liberals. Like he

00:21:14.660 just, he just made up a fact and, and, and then said, because of that false fact, you ought to be

00:21:20.400 subpoenaed before the committee. Like that's, that's just such an astonishingly reckless thing

00:21:25.200 for a grownup to say, let alone a member of parliament. I can't believe he did it. What was he,

00:21:30.740 did he think that no one would push back? Or do you think he, you would just roll over? What do you

00:21:35.120 think was going through his mind? Right. Yeah. So I think, um, the biggest issue on top of him

00:21:41.940 defaming me is, as I said, his abuse of public office, um, in terms of what was going through

00:21:48.360 his mind, obviously I can only speculate. Um, I don't view Mark Gerritsen as a particularly,

00:21:54.020 uh, sophisticated intellectually. I think he landed in his role, um, with some fortune by being close

00:22:00.880 to Trudeau most likely. And, um, you know, uh, as I said, I can only speculate what his motivations

00:22:08.020 were. All I can say is that it's absolutely not true. And it's kind of disappointing to see a member

00:22:15.860 of parliament to espouse such lies without doing any due diligence in terms of checking his facts.

00:22:23.260 He didn't message me. He didn't bother doing any fact checking whatsoever. He just stated a lie as a

00:22:28.640 fact. And that's egregious. This kind of thing, you know, is, was pretty common for the country

00:22:35.560 that I came from a communist country of USSR, where, you know, people were free to smear anyone

00:22:42.420 they liked without any accountability and any repercussions, but we're not going to let him

00:22:47.560 get away with that. We are going to hold his feet to the fire and hopefully get some justice out of this

00:22:54.420 because this is just unacceptable for a country that's supposed to be free, democratic, Western,

00:23:00.300 like Canada, a country that I love, a country that took me in after my own country would, you know,

00:23:06.720 persecute me for saying things that they didn't agree with. You know, I think that there's an ethnic

00:23:12.140 angle here too, because you're ethnically Russian. I think you're from Moldova originally, if I'm not

00:23:16.340 mistaken, to be accused of being secretly in league, secretly paid by Putin. It, it's in a way, it's an

00:23:26.520 ethnic attack. Oh, you're not actually a true Canadian. You're loyal to a foreign power. You're, 0.95

00:23:31.900 you're secretly taking money under the table. It would be like if someone said, Ezra, you're not

00:23:36.500 actually pro Hamas. You're just getting paid by Benjamin Netanyahu to say propaganda. It would sort

00:23:43.400 of undermine, I mean, obviously that's not true, but if someone were to make that accusation

00:23:47.620 and say, I know for a fact you are being paid by Netanyahu to undermine, like the accusation of dual

00:23:54.540 loyalty, you're a Jew, so you're not really loyal to Canada. That's what they're doing to you. And 0.99

00:24:00.280 again, it's not that they're saying, oh, it looks like it, or maybe, or he's saying it as an

00:24:06.040 incontrovertible fact. You know what? Members of parliament and senators have pure immunity. They

00:24:15.020 have absolute privilege for what they say in parliament. You can get up in parliament and

00:24:20.840 accuse someone of murder falsely. You'll be disciplined by the speaker, but you can't be

00:24:25.580 sued in defamation law. So maybe he's used to saying stupid things because no one can touch you when you're 0.99

00:24:32.460 in parliament. But on Twitter, you say stupid things. Most of the time, people just laugh at you. 1.00

00:24:37.300 But he's defamed you. And I hope you go after him, by the way, the way that we're suing that Jean-Christophe

00:24:45.860 Boucher for accusing us of being Russian assets. Yeah, so that's the plan. As I've said, we've sent

00:24:53.140 her a demand letter, and I hope we can pursue it further. If he doesn't fold, we will pursue it further

00:24:59.640 because, you know, being defamed obviously doesn't feel good. And it's not a huge issue when it's some

00:25:07.780 random anonymous troll on X who's just tweeting at you with not much of an audience or anything like

00:25:15.120 that. But it's a whole other story when it's a member of parliament coming after a citizen without

00:25:23.620 any evidence and making such egregious accusations. And, you know, I'm just a girl on Twitter. I'm a

00:25:32.280 single mom. And, you know, there has been some extremely unpleasant backlash after Gerritsen has

00:25:39.500 posted that tweet. And to say the least, it doesn't feel good. You know, and at worst, I feel a little

00:25:47.160 bit unsafe sometimes because of my political views because it's, you know, the people on the left feel

00:25:54.460 very emboldened to attack people and say egregious things about you if they don't agree with you

00:25:59.380 politically. So it's quite concerning. Yeah. Well, after you and Kim Beckstein, I actually wrote a tweet

00:26:07.900 about this subject myself. I have too much familiarity with defamation law. I think Garrison sort of either he

00:26:15.280 got spooked or someone said, yeah, buddy, you've, you've gone too far. And so he deleted the original

00:26:20.240 tweet, but he didn't apologize and he didn't retract and he didn't correct. He wrote some, well, let me

00:26:26.560 just show you what he wrote. He said, okay, my language may not have been that clear. I find Kat

00:26:33.740 Canada's, and he put the wrong name there, content to be divisive, alarmist, and deeply offensive.

00:26:40.520 The Press Progress report of the video of Katrina with Lauren Southern and Press Progress's report

00:26:46.360 of the video's alleged connection to a Russian influence campaign is deeply alarming. And then

00:26:53.200 he says, I'm not interested in interacting with or amplifying that kind of division. So I'm going to

00:27:00.720 be blocking Katrina because of her connection to that mess. I am not alleging that Katrina herself 0.96

00:27:07.560 was paid by the Russians. Well, actually that's exactly what he did allege. And he's saying,

00:27:14.100 you're connected to the mess. Like he, he sort of restates it. He pretends that he wasn't clear.

00:27:22.300 I don't think he's taken legal advice. What he did there did not undo the damage of over 150,000

00:27:30.140 people saying the original, I think you got to sue. You know, I mean, maybe people occasionally say,

00:27:35.840 Ezra, you're too litigious. Well, when politicians do bad things, like when Stephen Gilboa and others

00:27:40.980 block citizens from Twitter, when David Lamedi trying to destroy public records, sometimes you

00:27:47.220 have to go to court to get these people's attention because they just ignore you when all you do is use

00:27:53.280 your voice. I don't know. I hope you go through with it. I hope you take this guy to task. Just not just to

00:27:59.580 cure him of his slanders, but as a message to other liberal MPs and other politicians of all stripe, that

00:28:07.180 they should treat citizens with respect.

00:28:10.440 Absolutely. Yeah. So I hope that we can pursue this matter to the full extent, because I do want to hold

00:28:17.600 people like that to account, because I don't want to let them get away with smearing the average

00:28:22.140 citizen over and over without any repercussion. Because, you know, if we let them get away with 1.00

00:28:27.460 it once, we let them get away with it twice, three times, then they can just, you know, say whatever

00:28:33.020 they want to say. And if we don't fight back, they can just say, well, they didn't fight back. It must be

00:28:37.900 true. So I don't want to give him any inches to smear Canadian citizens and to push lies about

00:28:46.840 a person without even doing any basic fact checking. And so our plan is to push it as much

00:28:55.080 as we can to hold Gerritsen to account. And hopefully that will be a warning for anyone else who would be

00:29:01.960 so carelessly willing to smear the average Canadian just because they oppose them politically, Ezra.

00:29:07.320 Yeah. You know, I see this a lot from Trudeau, from Christopher Freeland. They really like to

00:29:13.280 accuse their critics, like they accuse Pierre Polyev all the time of being a Putin asset. And I think

00:29:19.080 it's just sort of the go-to slur in the Liberal Party. And if you sue Gerritsen for yourself, I think

00:29:26.700 that'll chill out all the liberals that say, oh, so you get sued if you say that falsely. We should be

00:29:34.260 more careful in what we accuse people. I hope you sue, because I think it'll cure the whole liberal

00:29:40.220 government of this slander. And it'll probably save many other people from being... And the thing is,

00:29:47.100 it causes damage. Because you're denounced. As a professional, people don't take you seriously

00:29:53.300 anymore. As a person, maybe some people doubt your ethnic loyalty to the country. I think it was a

00:30:00.120 really nasty thing. Last word to you, you got your crowdfunding the litigation at suegerritsen.com.

00:30:07.100 Am I right? What's next? Are you waiting for him to respond? What happens if he doesn't

00:30:13.220 give in to your demands by the deadline? Yes. So, yes. If he doesn't fold after our initial demands

00:30:22.760 that we sent in, we plan to pursue this. If people want to chip in to help us out, because we don't

00:30:31.580 have endless piles of taxpayer money to burn through like the Trudeau liberals do, people can support us

00:30:38.800 at suegerritsen.com if they want to help us win this fight and if they want to help us hold Gerritsen to

00:30:46.520 account. And yeah, we're just hoping that people are supporting us. We're hoping people can donate

00:30:54.620 because, as I said, it's very expensive. And we want to pursue this to the fullest extent possible.

00:31:01.140 Well, I believe in using lawyers in battles. It's probably because I'm a former lawyer myself.

00:31:08.380 And also, I see that other means the liberals are impervious to. They don't care what grassroots

00:31:15.280 people say. They don't even care what independent journalists say. But a lawsuit seems to clarify

00:31:21.420 their mind sometimes. Kat, great to see you again. Thanks for taking the time. And it's nice to chat

00:31:26.880 with you. I like the fact that you guys stand up to the liberals. We do too, which is why we're always

00:31:32.500 battling them in the court of opinion as well as the court of law. We'll keep following you on Twitter also.

00:31:38.040 See you later. Thanks, Edra. Right on. Great to see you. There you have it. And I don't know,

00:31:43.620 that Mark Gerritsen, he looks a little, I think he looks afraid, if I can say so. And it's a good

00:31:48.480 look on him. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:31:50.800 Hey, welcome back. Your letters to me. You seem to like our reports from Brazil. Seth Latchford said,

00:32:09.620 love the Brazilians. I like them too. I had never been to South America before. And I didn't know

00:32:16.420 what to expect. And Sao Paulo is such a massive city. Imagine 20 million people in the greater

00:32:21.460 Sao Paulo area. It's, we went up on our last day, we just went up to a tall building and looked out

00:32:28.240 to the observation deck. And it was just skyscrapers and towers and apartments. As far

00:32:34.180 as the eye could see, it's just astonishing how big it is. And I was sort of surprised how few people

00:32:39.380 spoke English there. It's their own world, though. You got almost a quarter of a billion Brazilians

00:32:44.020 speak in Portuguese. I mean, I suppose some of them listen to Taylor Swift and get English through

00:32:49.060 movies, but they have their own music. They have their own movies. And I like how interesting the

00:32:55.120 people look, different races and backgrounds, and they all seem to mix very freely together. It felt,

00:33:02.000 I don't know, I was excited. Of course, I only based that on two days there. What I really liked

00:33:07.100 was how 200,000 people came to fight for freedom. I hope one day we have 200,000 people fighting for

00:33:12.960 freedom in Canada. But I hope we never let it get as bad as they did in Brazil. Next letter from

00:33:18.180 someone named GGFD. Letter says, Justin Trudeau suggests that freezing innocent people's accounts

00:33:24.760 is the best way forward. Just ask Klaus, his boss. You know, it's very interesting because down there

00:33:30.140 in Brazil, there's this authoritarian president named Lula. He's got a longer name, but they all call

00:33:38.140 him Lula. He was president once before. Then he was jailed. He's president again. But the real

00:33:46.860 activist extremist, everyone seems to tell us, is this judge, this hunter-killer judge named

00:33:56.140 Alexander de Moraes. And he has these secret trials where he would mete out punishments to the

00:34:04.080 political enemies of Lula. And since Twitter wasn't going along with his rulings, this judge

00:34:10.820 just banned Twitter. And you might say, well, who cares? Twitter's a waste of time. And it's just like,

00:34:15.860 it's just candy. It's just a social media that's BS. Well, that's where the opposition would organize.

00:34:22.180 And they went to Twitter because unlike, for example, WhatsApp or Instagram or Facebook,

00:34:28.720 which are controlled by Mark Zuckerberg, who's happy to censor, Elon Musk refused to censor. So it was

00:34:35.460 very interesting how many people there were talking about Elon Musk. So yeah, Klaus Schwab maybe, but

00:34:41.500 really the battles between the Alexander de Moraes, this out of control judge activist, and the freedom

00:34:51.860 of the people. It was very interesting. I had never used a VPN before. I don't know if you saw my note on

00:34:57.660 that. A VPN stands for a virtual private network. It's a way for your phone to sort of trick the

00:35:03.820 system to think you're actually logging in from a different country. Like if you turn on your phone

00:35:08.460 and your internet, the whole world that's following your phone knows you're in Canada. But you can use

00:35:14.360 a VPN to make it look, to route the internet traffic through any country. You can literally choose

00:35:21.740 any country in the world. So when I went down there, I set my phone to look like I was in

00:35:27.280 Argentina. So I could get on Twitter that way. Now, a lot of Brazilians started to do that. And so they made a

00:35:34.480 $9,000 fine if you use the VPN. But can I give you a shout out? You know, I never do this. I never do a brand

00:35:42.220 advertisement on my show. But I want to tell you about this VPN because I actually had to use it. And it worked.

00:35:50.140 First of all, it's called PIA VPN. That's what it's called. PIAvpn.com. And I downloaded it with

00:35:58.800 two clicks of a button. And then like I said, I just pushed the button for Argentina. And it was on.

00:36:05.980 I didn't have to do anything. I didn't have to mess with any settings. I'm not that great technology

00:36:12.780 wise. And I figured this out on my own really quick. We have a deal with PIAvpn.com. And this

00:36:20.760 is the ad part I was warning you about. If you go to PIAvpn.com slash rebel news, not only do you get a

00:36:28.500 big discount, but we actually get a commission if you sign up for the PIA VPN. And I think I don't

00:36:34.280 think I would be doing this little pitch if I hadn't used the system myself. And it worked.

00:36:41.220 It got around that judge. I was using Twitter in Brazil, despite this tyrannical judge saying it's

00:36:49.260 banned because I was using the PIA VPN. So this is a real testimonial. It worked. And God forbid

00:36:58.720 they try and do that to us in Canada. We'll use the VPNs also. They sort of are doing that to us

00:37:04.980 right now. Try and get Canadian news on Facebook and Instagram. You'll see it's blocked. So that's

00:37:10.560 what you use the VPN for. Anyways, I'm talking too much about VPNs, but I really had never used one

00:37:15.220 before in my life. And you had to use it in Brazil. And I felt slightly naughty. You know, I felt sort of

00:37:22.080 safe where I was, but I could theoretically see a situation where I would be charged or even,

00:37:27.700 God forbid, arrested for using a VPN. That's the show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of

00:37:33.760 us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home. Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
