Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Canadians despise Trudeau as a person, says poll

00:00:00.320 Hello, my friends. I got some good news for you for once. I mean, of course, there's bad

00:00:03.820 news in the world, but hey, just for today, let's focus on something that I think will

00:00:07.120 make you feel better, make me feel better. I want to show you a new opinion poll by a

00:00:11.880 liberal-leaning pollster called Abacus that is so heartwarming, and it'll restore your

00:00:17.220 faith in your fellow Canadian of every province and both sexes and all ages. This is a feel-good

00:00:22.960 show, and I know you're going to love it. Can you do me a favor, though? Can you get

00:00:26.260 the video version of it because I'm going to show you some charts. I want you to look

00:00:30.120 at these bar graphs, and I know that sounds complicated. It's not. I just want you to

00:00:34.680 see the beauty of these poll numbers in chart form. To get the video version, you've got

00:00:40.240 to go to rebelnewsplus.com. That's our website where you can subscribe to what we call, well,

00:00:45.740 Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast. Sheila Gunn-Reed does a podcast

00:00:55.620 supporting Rebel News because, you know, we don't take any money from Trudeau, and it

00:00:59.380 shows. All right, here's today's podcast.

00:01:06.640 Tonight, if you're feeling down, let me give you some good news for a change. It'll make

00:01:10.960 you feel better about your fellow Canadians. It's July 29th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:15.420 You're fighting for freedom! Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:01:25.620 Oh, there's trouble in the world. Assassination attempts, soft coups. I don't know if you saw, 0.99

00:01:36.400 but of course, the communist Nicolas Maduro is stealing the election in Venezuela. Hezbollah

00:01:41.860 terrorists in Lebanon killed a dozen kids in Israel, and then there's the absolute disgrace

00:01:48.200 of the Paris Olympics and their bizarre anti-Christian trans-extremism opening ceremony. So

00:01:54.240 weird. So let's take a break for some good news. At least, I think it's good news. It made me feel

00:02:01.100 better about things. It's a new opinion poll by my favorite pollster, Abacus. Now, you know why I like

00:02:08.580 them so much? Because they tilt liberal. So if they're giving me good news, it's against their

00:02:16.280 nature to do so, so you can trust it. You know what I mean? As in, they're not looking to do Pierre

00:02:21.000 Polly have any favors. And this latest poll was published in the Toronto Star, no less. So again,

00:02:27.180 you know they publish this only grudgingly. Do you agree with my way of thinking about Abacus,

00:02:32.540 the pollster? I like them, by the way. Anyway, I want to show it to you. Let's get into it. Here's

00:02:36.820 the Toronto Star article. It's by Susan Delacorte, and it's written,

00:02:42.960 Don't like Justin Trudeau? You're not alone. Here's why Canadians say the Prime Minister is so

00:02:49.540 unpopular. In its latest round of polling for the star, Abacus Dada tried to find out whether it's

00:02:56.400 something Trudeau has or hasn't done, or whether it's just simply who he is. Huh. Isn't that wonderful

00:03:04.660 to read in the star? And by Susan Delacorte, a lifelong liberal hack of the star. You'll love

00:03:11.860 to see it. Anyway, I'm going to enjoy these words. I'm going to read them very slowly, but then I'm

00:03:17.620 going to get to the numbers. All right, let me just read the story. By now, Justin Trudeau's

00:03:21.340 unpopularity is not a bug in Canadian politics, but a feature. It is the starting point for every

00:03:27.340 conversation revolving around the Liberals' future prospects against the Conservatives in the next

00:03:31.560 election. It figures large when trying to guess the lifespan of the Liberal NDP deal. How long will

00:03:37.920 Jagmeet Singh and his New Democrats want to remain allied with an unpopular PM? What's less examined is

00:03:45.120 the cause of that unpopularity. When voters are registering all those negative impressions with

00:03:50.320 the pollsters, what exactly is it that is turning them off Trudeau? You know, the Toronto Star doesn't

00:03:56.560 know because they only write propaganda about Trudeau. So Abacus Data, in its latest round of

00:04:02.840 polling for the star, took on that question. It's not the first time Abacus has probed on this issue

00:04:08.400 for the star. Back in the spring of 2023, we wanted to know whether Trudeau's unpopularity

00:04:14.640 was more rampant among male voters. Yes, was the answer back then. Today, that gender disparity has

00:04:22.120 mostly disappeared. Quote, men and women now feel pretty much the same about Trudeau,

00:04:27.460 Abacus CEO David Colletto says, and he doesn't mean this in a good way. That's just delicious.

00:04:35.060 I'm having fun already. I'm feeling better. I normally don't feel good reading the star,

00:04:38.980 but you put me in a good mood. All right, enough with Susan Delacorte's words. Let's get to the math.

00:04:45.280 Look at this chart. It's a very colorful chart. It's sort of interactive if you look at it

00:04:48.700 on the website. It shows impressions about Trudeau by different demographics or geographics.

00:04:55.560 So no surprise, he's most hated in Western Canada. Now, do you see that dark green color?

00:05:02.460 That's for people who are very positive towards Trudeau. That's the phrase, very positive.

00:05:09.100 They love him, is short form. Nationwide, that's just 7% of people, single digits.

00:05:16.600 But it goes down even lower. Incredibly, just 5% of Atlantic Canadians love Trudeau. That's a bit

00:05:24.600 of a surprise. And in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, it's 3%. That is such a small number that's probably

00:05:32.440 within the margin of error. As in, there's a statistical chance the real number is approaching

00:05:38.580 zero. Now, the light green color, as opposed to the dark green, is for merely favorable impressions

00:05:46.580 not very favorable. If very favorable means you love Trudeau, favorable means you like him.

00:05:54.340 It's not at zero, but again, it's getting very close. Alberta and the prairies, the smartest places,

00:06:01.140 give him 11% and 12% likability. Think about that. That means if you took nine random people

00:06:07.580 in Alberta, you just chose nine random people, and said, do you like Trudeau even a little?

00:06:13.300 Eight out of nine would say no. One would say, yeah, I do. One out of nine. The orange bars are

00:06:21.740 somewhat negative in the pollster's language, and the red, the dark red is very negative. I think we

00:06:27.880 can just short form that as, I hate Trudeau, right? And look at that. I find this so interesting.

00:06:34.300 A very small number of people love Trudeau, but a slightly larger number of people like him. Okay,

00:06:43.700 so this many love him, this many like him. That seems sort of natural, right? But look at it on

00:06:49.420 the negative side. If you've made up your mind to not like Trudeau, you're not messing around with,

00:06:57.420 but I don't like him. You go straight to, I hate him. Do you see what I mean? Look at that line at

00:07:03.500 the top. 20% of Canadians dislike him, but double that number, 39% hate him. I think that's got to

00:07:13.620 be unusual. Normally, if you don't like someone, it's just dislike. I mean, how many people in the

00:07:20.500 world do you truly hate, as opposed to just dislike them? I mean, it's got to be a smaller number,

00:07:27.060 right? It's got to be reserved for people who have done you a terrible wrong, who have betrayed you,

00:07:34.500 cheated on you, burnt you in some way, and you've got to have thought about it a lot, right?

00:07:40.480 I'm just thinking, I mean, how many people do you actually walk around hating? It takes energy

00:07:44.780 to hate someone. If you ask me about a politician I don't really know well,

00:07:48.560 I wouldn't muster the words love or hate. I'd say, yeah, I like him or I don't like him.

00:07:53.360 Love and hate are reserved for people that we know or follow closely, right? People have been

00:07:59.840 following Trudeau closely for nine years, and 39% hate him. Hate with a capital H. Again, not really

00:08:09.860 a surprise. Think about it. The prairies hate Trudeau more than anyone else, but BC is bad too. I used to

00:08:17.580 think of BC as sort of a liberal place. I think that was the betrayal, remember, of Jody Wilson-Raybould,

00:08:22.780 the former justice minister. That was shocking. Trudeau fired Jody Wilson-Raybould for being too

00:08:29.040 honest and too ethical, trying to stop him from getting his friends out of a criminal prosecution,

00:08:34.080 and then Trudeau lied about it. You don't forget something like that quickly. It's amazing to me to

00:08:40.340 see men and women despising Trudeau in almost identical numbers. Even Susan Delacorte mentioned

00:08:46.220 that, really. Just a few percentage points differences here and there. That is so new.

00:08:51.800 I've been following politics for decades, and the liberals always had an advantage with women. 1.00

00:08:58.180 Trudeau especially had an advantage with women. He positioned himself as a male feminist. He was so

00:09:04.460 dreamy. He would try on his, you know, substitute drama teacher voice, but there again, that's the

00:09:10.580 betrayal. Women see that he was a faker. He was a liar the whole time. He was a fake feminist. I think 0.99

00:09:18.880 same thing with visible minorities. I put it to you that, and it's not broken out in this chart here,

00:09:23.840 but I think that blackface scandal made a lot of minorities realize that Trudeau's two-faced,

00:09:29.900 that he's just using them for photo ops and costume dress-up parties, and I can imagine when

00:09:36.420 you realize that he actually doesn't give a damn about you, that feeling of betrayal that turns

00:09:42.020 love. I love Trudeau, too. I hate. It doesn't turn love to dislike, you know what I mean?

00:09:48.900 Age is also amazing to me. Again, I grew up in a world where old people were conservatives and young

00:09:53.780 people were progressive, and there's still a little bit of that, but young people who can't

00:09:59.520 afford to buy a home, who are pushed out of universities by Trudeau's foreign students, 0.78

00:10:05.140 who are victims of his crime wave, who can't afford his taxes, who feel like he's lying about

00:10:10.200 his carbon tax. If you're a young person, you hate him. Look at that 18 to 29-year-old demographic bar.

00:10:18.580 Very, very few like or love Trudeau. Just 21% combined like him or love him. Out of all young

00:10:27.520 people, like four out of five don't like him or love him. Look how many hate him. 57% hate him or

00:10:34.340 dislike him combined. I thought he was supposed to be the cool dude with his fancy socks and his

00:10:40.900 weird party tricks. Look at the very bottom in the chart. They broke down the numbers by how people

00:10:47.920 voted in the last federal election in 2021. Obviously, if you voted conservative in 2021,

00:10:54.840 you're quite likely to think very poorly of Trudeau. Again, that's not a surprising thing. But look at

00:11:00.480 people who say they voted liberal in the last election in 2021. 15% dislike Trudeau now, and another

00:11:10.200 11% hate him now. More than a quarter of liberal voters in the last election now dislike or hate him.

00:11:23.500 Every region in the country, every province, every age group, both sexes. I suppose Trudeau should get

00:11:33.200 some credit for uniting the country. We all seem to hate him together. Oh, but don't you bother him

00:11:41.620 about that. As he told Key and Bextie on the beach the other day, he doesn't care what polls have to

00:11:46.460 say. He's not going anywhere. Are you looking for him right now? No, I am absolutely not. I am running in the

00:11:54.960 next election. Are you concerned at all about your poll numbers? No, I am. No. What causes you to not be

00:12:00.900 concerned? Because I spend a lot of time talking with Canadians. Stay with us for more.

00:12:06.000 Well, if you've been watching Rebel News for a while, you know about our friend Tommy Robinson. I

00:12:19.160 think we've probably done more journalism about him than certainly anyone on this side of the

00:12:24.420 Atlantic. Although someone pointed out to me that Tommy Robinson is the citizen's name that has been

00:12:32.060 most mentioned in parliamentary debates in the UK, I think like on 46 occasions or something. So

00:12:40.220 he certainly is grist for the mill over there. Of course, most of the newspapers in the UK despise

00:12:46.720 him. I'm not sure why that is. He's such a colorful character. And even when he does things are naughty,

00:12:52.380 well, surely a newspaper, well, would sell copies or something. And of course, in the UK, they have a class

00:12:59.100 system. They have highbrow and lowbrow and working class and tabloid. Tommy Robinson is the

00:13:06.000 personification of working class Brits who love their football, as they call soccer. Why wouldn't

00:13:13.440 papers catering to that demographic at least show them some respect? I found it very confusing over

00:13:19.020 the years. As you know, Tommy worked for us for about a year or so. I don't know. I guess that would

00:13:24.100 be six or seven years ago. But I also attended the UK to cover some of his many trials once he no

00:13:30.300 longer worked with us. Now, Tommy Robinson really had a lot of air let out of the balloon, so to speak,

00:13:36.900 when he had his wings clipped by social media. And I remember when that happened to Alex Jones of

00:13:42.300 Infowars as well. I mean, these are powerful personalities with large followings. But the thing

00:13:47.680 about followers is they have to be able to see you to follow. I remember in a 24-hour period, 14

00:13:54.620 different social media companies canceled Alex Jones on the same day. Don't tell me that was a

00:14:01.740 coincidence. That was a cartel. That was censorship collusion. Well, the same sort of thing happened to

00:14:08.280 Tommy Robinson. You can still see his face on YouTube, but not very well. They downrank those videos.

00:14:15.360 And Twitter banned him completely. Facebook, the only way you're allowed to mention Tommy Robinson

00:14:23.940 is to criticize him. I know that sounds like an astonishing thing to say, but it was revealed in

00:14:29.540 a Scandinavian interview where a left-wing TV show wanted to talk about Tommy Robinson, and they got a

00:14:37.020 strike on their account. They couldn't understand it. This was a hostile to Tommy network, and they

00:14:43.060 interviewed the regional boss for Facebook, who said, yeah, you can talk about Tommy only if you

00:14:48.200 attack him. Remember this?

00:14:49.640 I can hear the Danish journalist asking him some questions about these applications.

00:14:54.180 If you think of the Guardian, there's something else that Tommy Robinson has asked on Facebook

00:15:00.820 to half-fugge muslimers. He says that he doesn't have done anything. How can I, as a journalist, 1.00

00:15:06.820 check that you have documentation for your account, Tommy Robinson?

00:15:10.760 Yeah. There isn't one post, really. Let's have a look at what they said in their press statement

00:15:23.680 that went around the entire world. This went on the world's media, okay? A post urging people

00:15:30.320 to terrorize and behead those who follow the Koran. Total lies. Now, this interview with the head 1.00

00:15:39.480 communication has actually revealed a lot. It revealed that I'm a designated hate figure, and people

00:15:46.480 can go on Facebook, and they can write what they want about me. In fact, using their guidelines,

00:15:50.600 they can encourage murder about me, and it will not get deleted. If anyone says one positive

00:15:55.460 word about me, they can be deleted. Now, this would seem unbelievable. Only negative stuff

00:16:01.600 can be said about me online. Let's see.

00:16:03.840 Yeah.

00:16:04.840 Yeah. It's a post-reaction against him.

00:16:05.840 It's a post-reaction against him. It's a post-reaction against him. But what

00:16:07.840 is happening now, is that people who are talking about Tommy Robinson from the

00:16:11.840 fjernet of their policy, are being blocked, or are being thought about it, and are being

00:16:15.840 blocked by Facebook. How does that work?

00:16:18.840 Well, our rules are not to talk about Tommy Robinson. You should have to write,

00:16:23.840 that you don't like him, or that you don't like him, or you don't like him.

00:16:28.840 So that seemed to be the end of Tommy Robinson until Elon Musk bought Twitter and revived

00:16:39.840 from the dead so many accounts that had merely committed the sin of being politically incorrect,

00:16:44.840 not actually breaking any law. And in the several months that Tommy has been reborn on Twitter,

00:16:49.840 he's used that to magnify his message to millions of people, actually to hundreds of millions of

00:16:55.840 people, or at least hundreds of millions of impressions, if you believe Twitter's statistics.

00:17:00.840 Tommy had a rally in the UK on June 1st, where our friend Alexa Lavois attended. Over 900,000 people

00:17:10.840 watched that live stream concurrently. Tommy had another event this weekend, and over half a million

00:17:17.840 watched that too. The reason I tell you these things is to emphasize how important Elon Musk's

00:17:23.840 purchase of Twitter really is. Not only has it given the voice back to people like Tommy Robinson and

00:17:30.840 Alex Jones, and you may not like their voices, but at least he is having a public square where freedom

00:17:35.840 of speech reigns. Not only has he given their voices back, but he's allowed the rest of us to have our

00:17:41.840 ears back. It's not just Tommy Robinson's right to say what he wants to say. It's our right to hear him.

00:17:47.840 And what comes from saying things and hearing things? Well, doing things. And Tommy Robinson had a march

00:17:53.840 in the UK. Part of that march was music. You'll recognize some Canadians from the stage.

00:17:59.840 Take a look at Tamara Leach and our former rebel reporter, Kelly Lamb. Take a look.

00:18:05.840 It's not okay that this is how they rule you. How they rule you. How they rule you. How they rule you. How they rule you.

00:18:19.840 Well I won't back down. No I won't back down. You could stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won't back down. No I won't back down.

00:18:43.840 There were some interesting speeches and Tommy Robinson, of course, played one of his documentary

00:19:03.540 films. Our own Alexa Lavoie was on the scene and she joins us now to talk about it. Alexa,

00:19:10.320 great to see you. Thanks very much for going over to the UK. What did you see when you went there?

00:19:17.620 Oh, a massive, massive crowd, a lot of English flag, something that we don't see in some other

00:19:25.540 demonstration as the anti-Israel one. We saw a lot of patriotism. There were a massive,

00:19:34.900 massive amount of people and all of them were therefore expressing frustration on the current

00:19:43.480 governance. And also with the mass immigration they are seeing, they are really worried for not only

00:19:51.300 their own culture, but their identity as well. There were a lot of different speakers. Tamara

00:20:00.020 Lich, our freedom warrior, was there. She delivered a speech. She played guitar. I saw multicultural

00:20:09.240 people, all from all backgrounds. There were people that was from immigrant background who had enough 1.00

00:20:16.940 of the newcomer taking everything that they can, but not respecting the values and the culture of the 0.96

00:20:24.740 country. I saw also people from all walks of life. It was really amazing to see. And it remembered me a

00:20:31.740 little bit of what we saw during the Freedom Convoy. Right. Well, how many people were there? I saw

00:20:39.360 numbers ranging from 35,000 on the small side to a number that's a little bit hard to believe,

00:20:46.460 but it was, I think, the Metro newspaper, which is a mainstream newspaper, that said there was up to

00:20:52.060 100,000. Frankly, I find that a little bit hard to believe. Although when a anti-Tommy Robinson

00:20:59.300 newspaper says it, perhaps we should credit it. It looked huge and it was well behaved, wasn't it?

00:21:07.280 I mean, there was no riots. There was no, you know, attacks on police as you have seen in the past with

00:21:13.460 some of these pro-Hamas rallies. No, actually, the police were there. The sheikhs and the, the, I saw them 0.91

00:21:21.780 like talking with the organizers. It seemed like there were no problem at all. I would kind of believe of the

00:21:30.220 highest number or close by or nearby because the Trafalgar Square were full, full, completely full. And people

00:21:38.860 were on the street. So, so we can see on the drone shot how proudly it is, but the, the, the number of

00:21:49.100 people on the street is not seeing on the drone shot. So I, I believe that is near by maybe a hundred

00:21:56.540 thousand people. Wow. And that drone shot you took on your drone camera was one of the best images I

00:22:03.400 saw of the entire event. Thank you for that. Now, here's the thing. I, I've gone to some of those

00:22:08.380 events. I'm really glad you went this time and you went last month as well. And you say that some

00:22:12.760 of the emphasis was on patriotism, reducing mass immigration, and just clapping back because every

00:22:18.840 week there's this pro-Hamas protest in the UK. It's a little tiresome. This, I think, showed the real 1.00

00:22:24.600 side of the UK. And take a look at this. Here's a Muslim man on a mainstream radio station called LBC.

00:22:31.400 And, um, he was there. And I think to his own surprise, not only did he sort of like it, but it

00:22:40.860 wasn't anything he had been expecting. Take a look at this mainstream media journalist saying it wasn't

00:22:46.300 that bad at all. And these people are good citizens. Take a look. The place was absolutely rammed. And I

00:22:53.440 mean, rammed. The place was packed. It was a very sunny day, as you know, yesterday. Atmosphere that I

00:22:59.220 saw, I didn't see any, um, bad behavior at all. What I saw was a, an almost family-like atmosphere,

00:23:06.880 very welcoming, very warm, flags everywhere. Not only, uh, flags of St. George and, um, uh,

00:23:14.020 the Union Jack, but also Israeli flags, Ukrainian flags as well. And the thing that struck me about

00:23:20.720 this was this was not a gathering, as far as I could see, of football hooligans. There were lots of

00:23:28.380 women. There were lots of families. There were peoples of different colors there. And everyone

00:23:33.680 was watching a video, um, that apparently, uh, Tommy Robinson should have not been broadcasting,

00:23:38.500 but there were various other bands playing and, uh, conversations going on and, uh, and speeches

00:23:43.580 being given. But the overall atmosphere was one of people feeling that they wanted to come together

00:23:49.880 to actually try and, in their views, save their country. And to quote Tommy Robinson, he called on his

00:23:58.740 supporters to come to London yesterday because, and I quote, we want our country back. Now that

00:24:06.740 sentiment, that sentiment that Tommy Robinson or, uh, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, which is his, um, his real name,

00:24:13.620 uh, that sentiment, which he promulgates and espouses is not one that he does so alone. We've had Lee

00:24:23.600 Anderson. We've had many other people talking about and alluding to similar things. Now I'm going to get

00:24:30.800 condemned for this conversation, but frankly, it's too important not to have, because we need to have

00:24:36.320 this conversation in a very measured, sensible, calm manner, in my view, to understand why there is a

00:24:44.360 sentiment where people on a family almost day out will go to Trafalgar Square to go and feel that

00:24:50.180 their country is being taken away from them and wanting to unite the kingdom. And to simply dismiss

00:24:54.920 them all as far-right, lunatic, racist, uh, football hooligans is actually not helpful and it's 0.96

00:25:00.900 completely inaccurate. So I think Tommy Robinson is a symptom, not the cause of something much, 0.76

00:25:07.500 much deeper. Again, that's the normalization that comes from Elon Musk platforming people again.

00:25:14.440 I think the fact that Tommy was banned from social media was sort of like a social cue to the rest of

00:25:21.220 society. He's a bad man. He deserves to be exiled and ignored. Don't talk to him. He's a bad dude.

00:25:27.820 And now that Tommy is back on Twitter and is attracting followers, it's almost like higher

00:25:33.800 echelons of society are saying, oh, well, I guess we can't ignore him anymore because he's got a

00:25:39.060 platform. I don't know. I just think it's very interesting how that is affecting his social

00:25:43.780 status, the fact that he's back on Twitter. And obviously it's an amazing political tool. I just

00:25:49.540 can't overstate it enough. But let me tell you something that's very strange. And I know you were

00:25:54.040 heading back. You stayed in the UK on Saturday and then you headed back on Sunday morning.

00:26:02.640 Sunday afternoon, we learned that Tommy Robinson was arrested under the Terrorism Act of 2000,

00:26:12.900 which is such an astonishing and bizarre thing. That would be like arresting him

00:26:16.860 under the Patriot Act in Washington, D.C. I don't know if we have a standalone act in Canada that's the

00:26:23.220 same thing. And here's what I know about the Terrorism Act. It allows police to arrest someone

00:26:29.660 without a warrant, without laying charges against them. And they can ask questions of the person

00:26:37.720 they've arrested. And the person must answer. There's not that traditional ancient right to be

00:26:46.900 silent and to not be compelled to speak. You know, we've always heard you have the right to remain

00:26:53.120 silent. Anything you say can or will be used against you in a court of law. We've all heard

00:26:57.560 that from watching police shows on TV. The Terrorism Act is the opposite. If you're arrested under the

00:27:04.680 Terrorism Act, Schedule 7 of that law says police can ask you questions and you are compelled to answer.

00:27:11.440 You are forced to answer. They can also force you to give any documents. For example, they demand that

00:27:19.200 Tommy give his phone and his passcode. Now, I understand he refused to do that. You can have a

00:27:26.760 lawyer there, although they can delay your lawyer from attending for six hours, which is weird also.

00:27:33.220 And really, what's the point of your lawyer anyways, if you have to answer the question? So here's a

00:27:38.000 little bit of an excerpt from Tommy Robinson, who was still in custody. He called home to his ex-wife,

00:27:43.960 Jenna, to tell her about what had happened. Listen to the crazy things that they asked Tommy Robinson when

00:27:50.820 they had him under arrest under the Terrorism Act. Take a listen. Yeah, what's going on?

00:27:55.860 So, I've been arrested under the Terrorism Act.

00:28:01.160 This is so that an examiner officer can exercise his or her powers under the schedule for the purpose of

00:28:06.560 determining whether you appear to be a person who is or who has been concerned in the commission,

00:28:12.320 preparation, or instigation of accident terrorism. So, that's what they leave me under so that they

00:28:18.820 can leave me. What are you meant to have done? Nothing, Jenna. They, they, they, they don't. So,

00:28:25.780 after bringing me out of that, he said, we know you haven't done it here. So, I said, so why am I here?

00:28:31.220 They interviewed me for six fucking hours. Six hours about yesterday, about the event, about whether I 0.98

00:28:38.900 think I can stop the grape replacement, about Israel. Well, what about a Palestinian state?

00:28:46.160 It's fucking, and I said, like, because you don't have a right to remain silent, yeah? You do not have 0.99

00:28:51.560 a right to remain silent. So, have you had a solicitor? What's that? Have you got a solicitor there?

00:28:57.380 Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter with the solicitor, because under this terrorism legislation, you

00:29:02.320 don't have a right to remain silent. So, if you don't answer their questions, you break the law,

00:29:06.900 yeah? So, it got to then the point of what this has been about. They said, you need to give us the

00:29:12.140 PIN code to your phone now. So, I obviously said, and reading their, I read all their stuff when they,

00:29:18.320 when they grabbed me. They asked me so many questions about our event yesterday. What are we trying to

00:29:24.380 achieve? When are you next doing it? What's your next plans? What do you think of the government?

00:29:29.680 I was like, this is, what, what is this? He said, what do you think of the United Kingdom,

00:29:35.040 Great Britain? I said, a tyrannical fucking state. Look at you. I've done nothing. Why am I nicked 1.00

00:29:40.440 under the terrorism act? This is a total abuse of power. But, but they're charging me. They are

00:29:46.500 charging me. I'm waiting to be charged now. I'm sort of transferring me from the port to, I'm in the

00:29:51.220 police. I'm in the police station. Who, what city is it that has represented you? Is it someone

00:29:54.780 called Francis? Yeah, it is. Uh, what was his name? He's from Carson K. Yeah, did he ring you?

00:30:02.140 Yeah. Yeah, he said, not him, because he, it's another solicitor now. But, uh, I just, I got,

00:30:11.280 I'm away with the kids in two days.

00:30:13.180 So they were asking him about his hopes for his rallies. They were asking him about his views

00:30:19.220 about Israel. None of those things are crimes. None of those things are terrorism. These are just

00:30:24.380 bizarre questions that they were asking only because they had arrested him under the terrorism

00:30:30.340 act. And by the way, Alexa, I can understand why you could have this law if there was like a ticking

00:30:36.000 time bomb about to go off or a suicide bomber on his way to do something terrible. And you captured,

00:30:41.500 uh, uh, an arch terrorist to compel them to say, where is he going? What's happening?

00:30:47.420 Where's the bomb going to go off? Sort of like waterboarding without the water.

00:30:51.360 I can understand why you would use this law for the most extreme terrorists, but Tommy

00:30:55.280 is not a terrorist. They didn't accuse him of that. They just wanted to ask him a bunch of questions

00:30:59.800 about his politics. I think that's absolutely insane. They held him for hours. They held him for

00:31:05.080 almost half a day, but it's not the first time that either politician or people in the law enforcement

00:31:12.120 try to paint him as a terrorist. It's easy afterwards. If you paint someone as a terrorist

00:31:17.000 that all the supporter would just maybe reflect on, do I'm still like following someone who has been

00:31:23.460 labeled as a terrorist? I don't have to have that, uh, on my shoulder afterwards. Uh, it's easy also

00:31:29.720 to remove his own rights to defend himself and to have the freedom of, uh, speech and, uh, the,

00:31:37.560 the freedom to have like a fair defense. Um, I think they know that if they just invoke the regular

00:31:44.920 law, it will not work. So I think if they just use the terrorist act, because it's a stronger law

00:31:53.000 that will permit them to go a little bit further and try to find something when they know they will

00:31:58.280 not find anything. So this will kind of stay behind his, like behind his shoulder, like the fact that

00:32:06.040 he had been arrested and detained under the terrorist act that will all be on internets.

00:32:11.320 And so it will stay forever that, that this man have been arrested and it's what they try to do.

00:32:17.880 They try to paint a narrative behind him. So the people, when they would do research on him,

00:32:23.800 they will see all kinds of bad things that he supposedly have done, but he did it.

00:32:30.840 Right. You know, that's such a good point. I was just talking about how

00:32:33.720 Elon Musk has re-normalized Tommy Robinson by putting him back on Twitter. And, and I showed you

00:32:40.400 even some mainstream media was saying, Oh, that guy's not that bad. Well, you arrest someone under the

00:32:45.560 terrorism act. Everyone gets scared again. And then suddenly he's not a normal citizen anymore.

00:32:50.900 They let him go. By the way, he was released yesterday and I think he actually left for Spain

00:32:56.340 where he lives these days. So it was just clearly a way to grab him, ask him a bunch of personal

00:33:02.580 questions, political questions that they could never get him to answer. Take his phone without a search

00:33:09.220 warrant or search and seizure. Like it was such an abuse of the law, but I wonder if anyone cares

00:33:15.220 because he's been abused by the law before thrown in solitary confinement by the law before. And by

00:33:20.340 the time he finally gets an appeal, by the time justice finally does up its shoelaces, six months

00:33:26.500 or a year and a hundred thousand pounds of legal fees has gone by. I really found it depressing what

00:33:31.460 they did to him last night and how most of the British establishment is completely fine with it.

00:33:36.260 Anyways, Alexa, I'm really glad you went over there. Thanks for covering it. I like to go over

00:33:40.100 there from time to time myself. And I always try and bring it back to life here in Canada.

00:33:46.020 And what are the lessons to learn about censorship, about police abusing terrorism laws to go after

00:33:52.180 political enemies of the state and about how Brits are waking up to defend patriotism and to stop their

00:33:58.980 country from being overrun in mass immigration. And maybe we have a lesson to learn from them too. 1.00

00:34:03.220 Last word to you, Alexa, if you had one thing, if you learned one thing in the UK, or if you saw one

00:34:09.780 thing you wanted to tell Canadians, what would the one thing be?

00:34:14.260 I would just say, the people were just saying, keep hope. Anytime there is still people standing, there is hope.

00:34:22.900 And I would say, if you believe on what we are doing is right, and we're bringing you the facts straight,

00:34:31.460 and you want to contribute to my journey, because I did all the way there, please just go over and chip

00:34:38.740 in at Battle for London. I think it would be really appreciated, because it's because all of you that

00:34:45.060 this trip was possible.

00:34:46.100 Right on. That's battleforlondon.com. That's where all of Alexa's videos will be. Great to see

00:34:50.820 you, my friend. Thanks for taking the time. Thank you.

00:34:54.020 All right, folks. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:35:04.900 Hey, early this morning, I heard on the radio that a bus, a school bus, caught fire. And firemen put it

00:35:13.300 out. And that this happened at 5am. And I thought, that's an odd news story. But then they mentioned

00:35:18.820 the neighborhood, and it was in Toronto, and actually not far from where I live.

00:35:23.700 And I thought, I know that neighborhood. I think there's something that these reporters aren't

00:35:29.860 telling us. So I went down there with myself. And sorry, I was dressed in sort of a funny orange

00:35:35.300 t-shirt. Here's my report from early this morning, when I went to go check out this school bus that

00:35:41.060 caught fire. Here, take a look. I'll say goodbye to you now, but watch this video.

00:35:45.300 Ezra Levant here for Rebel News. Look at this burnt out school bus. I heard about it on social media.

00:35:52.100 They said there's a school bus on fire. It, quote, caught fire at 5am this morning. Police don't know

00:35:59.620 why. Really? So actually, it's not too far away from the home of Ya'ara Sachs. This is in York Center.

00:36:06.900 Ya'ara Sachs is the local member of parliament in this heavily Jewish district. You can see another shot 0.99

00:36:13.620 of the vehicle just torched. There's a bunch of other vehicles here. More school buses,

00:36:21.300 more school buses. What are these school buses? And why would one catch fire at 5am? Well,

00:36:29.300 these school buses are for Jewish schools. In fact, you can see the markings on them. That says

00:36:35.860 Bobov. That's the name of a Jewish school around here. And in fact, let me just show you. I'm walking

00:36:42.580 around a little bit more. That's a large Jewish synagogue right back there. But these aren't just

00:36:49.780 any old school buses. These are Jewish school buses. And every single one of them has markings that says

00:36:56.500 Banos Bez Chaya in Toronto. That's another Jewish school nearby. So why do you think this school bus

00:37:05.300 caught fire at 5am? Why do you think the media are so incurious as not to ask? Hi there. Hi, how are you?

00:37:16.180 What do you think is going on? Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that they're

00:37:19.300 Jewish school buses? I can't comment on that. I don't know. We're still going under investigation.

00:37:24.660 Who would be able to comment?

00:37:28.260 Do you know who would be able to comment? You can call 32 Division. 32 Division? All right.

00:37:35.860 Any witnesses? I don't know that yet. Okay. Well, as I was on the scene of the crime,

00:37:41.940 the owner of the school bus, Alex, pulled up and he agreed to chat with me for a minute. Alex,

00:37:46.740 tell me a little bit about this bus. This was a bus used for Jewish schools. Is that right? Yeah,

00:37:51.140 this is for private Jewish schools. And it was their stickers that who did this new. This is a Jew 1.00

00:37:58.180 working for the Jewish school. So like mostly it's a hate crime. So that's what I can say. 0.97

00:38:06.340 Have the police talked to you about it at all? Yes, yes. Like I was here. We explained. We were

00:38:11.380 helpful. Okay. We tried to understand what the situation. We said we increased the patrol on this

00:38:22.820 area. So that's it. That's all. Do you think that response is enough? I see the media say,

00:38:29.380 we don't know what caused that. I saw CTV and City News. I don't want to go up front. I don't know who

00:38:36.580 did this. Right. But I just give you the information about this bus. This was a Jewish 0.98

00:38:42.820 school. Who did this? I don't know. Not 100%. So I don't want to go up. But police agree it was arson.

00:38:50.820 They think it was arson for sure. And what else could it be at 5 a.m.? School buses just don't

00:38:55.540 spontaneously combust. I don't know. I don't know. You're not an expert. Yeah. So they have the

00:39:01.940 experts in the police. So it's a late job to do this. All right. So I guess you got the nasty job

00:39:07.860 of cleaning it up a bit. Yes. That's awful. What's going to happen? They're going to just

00:39:12.180 tow it away and junk it, I guess. Yeah. It's going to scrap it. Yeah. All right. Thanks for talking

00:39:17.060 with me. Good luck. I'm sorry this happened. It's okay. Thanks. Do you think it's a coincidence

00:39:21.460 that these are Jewish school buses just parked here and that one of them caught fire at 5 a.m.?

00:39:28.420 Or do you think it's another anti-Semitic hate crime that neither the media nor the politicians,

00:39:34.820 including the local MP RSX, they just don't give a damn? For Rebel News, I'm Ezra LeVant.
