Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ From UK cell to U.S. Capitol： Tommy Robinson hits Congress

00:00:00.260 Hello, my friends. I saw Tommy Robinson yesterday. He's arrived in America. Let me give you my

00:00:05.020 thoughts on the very interesting turn of events in his life, plus an interview with the lad.

00:00:09.880 We'll also talk to Tracy Wilson of the Firearms Coalition about the crazy, it's just so silly,

00:00:18.900 how the government is trying to ban scary-looking guns. That's pretty much how they define them.

00:00:24.680 I'll take you through that. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News

00:00:44.720 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:00:47.160 Tonight, Tommy Robinson is out of a UK prison and into the US Congress. It's February 24th,

00:01:04.140 and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:08.740 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:20.480 You know, we fought alongside Tommy Robinson for many years, about a decade now, if you

00:01:25.900 can believe it. And a year ago, he was in solitary confinement. It was terrible. I visited

00:01:32.140 him in prison the one time before the prison warden stopped allowing me and various other

00:01:38.320 visitors in to see him. And I could see it was starting to wreak havoc on his mental state.

00:01:43.280 You know, it's a form of torture. It's a psychological torture. He wasn't physically being tortured,

00:01:48.600 but being separated from other people for 23 and a half hours a day. And then sometimes when he had

00:01:54.960 family visits, having them canceled at the last minute by the prison warden, absolutely abusive

00:02:00.580 behavior. And outrageous claims against Tommy being made by the media. They didn't feel any

00:02:07.300 solidarity with him for freedom of speech or for standing up to the government. They are regime

00:02:12.340 journalists even worse than in Canada. I know that from 10 years of traveling there. There were,

00:02:17.840 while he was in prison, by the way, there were other legal cases proceeding against him. You might

00:02:23.100 remember he was arrested and charged under the Terrorism Act, not for doing any terrorism,

00:02:28.820 but for refusing to give the police the pin code, the password to his cell phone, because he said he

00:02:35.020 had some very confidential and sensitive material on there when he interviewed various victims of

00:02:41.600 British rape gangs. So he said, there's no way he was going to give that information to police

00:02:45.980 because in the past, the police had given that info to the rapists. And you know, sorry to go down

00:02:51.440 that rabbit hole a bit, but that was Tommy's reasoning. This was all pending against him. And we had to

00:02:56.260 pay his legal bills for crowdfunding, which is tough to do. But what a difference a year makes. Now he's

00:03:02.620 not in solitary confinement. He's out of prison. And if I'm not mistaken, the prison governor who was so

00:03:07.540 abusive, she's moved on. The Terrorism Act, it went to trial. And Tommy wasn't just acquitted. He was

00:03:15.760 acquitted smashingly. And the judge went on a tear against how the police were abusive and political and how they

00:03:23.860 only arrested Tommy because they didn't like, or they knew his politics. Very interesting. And an

00:03:29.540 enormous, uh, um, innovation is that Elon Musk took over the financing of Tommy Robinson's legal

00:03:37.140 cases. It was a pleasure for us to do to crowdfund, but it's hard to do it. And our donors only have so

00:03:43.520 much capacity. So for Elon Musk to defend Tommy, to pay the legal bills, what an incredible relief

00:03:49.020 to Tommy and his family. And frankly, it relieves us here at Rebel News from that duty. It was a happy

00:03:54.900 duty for us, but if the world's richest man wants to help Tommy, I think I'll back up.

00:04:00.860 So Tommy got out of prison. Uh, and you may recall on September 13th of last year, he actually put

00:04:09.260 together the largest rally in UK history. And you might remember we built sort of free speech trip

00:04:16.140 around that. If you were one of the lucky people on that trip and a surprise guest at the rally

00:04:21.460 was Elon Musk. Here's a quick clip of that. Imagine that Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson, united at the rally.

00:04:28.540 Musk wasn't there in person, but he appeared on video screen. Take a look.

00:04:41.820 Hello.

00:04:42.300 Okay, congratulations. Uh, congratulations, Tommy, on, uh, putting together an amazing event

00:04:57.360 and, uh, really rallying the people of Britain.

00:05:00.100 Elon, none of this could have happened without you giving the British public access to the truth

00:05:07.160 and giving us free speech and fighting for our free speech. So on behalf of Great Britain and the

00:05:11.440 British public, we're incredibly grateful, Elon.

00:05:14.840 You're most, you're most, you're most welcome. Um, you're most welcome. And, um, you may notice

00:05:20.480 this t-shirt that I'm wearing, uh, is great British author, George Orwell. What would Orwell think?

00:05:25.380 I think that's generally a good way to look at these things. Uh, he would want freedom of speech.

00:05:30.820 He would want the people to know what's real. Uh, he'd want the people to fight against government

00:05:36.460 oppression, um, and, and fight for the truth and fight for the future of Britain.

00:05:41.480 Well, it was only better things from there. Every day, a new, uh, success. His U.S. visa,

00:05:49.580 which he got just last week, is a miraculous thing because, of course, Tommy Robinson has been

00:05:55.580 convicted of various offenses, uh, going, some of them going back years. And those would normally

00:06:01.380 make him, um, not considered to travel to the United States. He would be barred from entry

00:06:07.300 into America. Tommy had to go to the U.S. consulate and go through, or the U.S. embassy and go through

00:06:13.820 point by point explaining the background of why they were politicized, cases of lawfare against

00:06:20.780 him. And he convinced them. And, uh, to me, it's an enormous rebuke by the United States government

00:06:29.520 of the UK. If Tommy's been convicted, let's say five times, and if he's been sent to prison

00:06:35.620 five times, that sounds like a pretty bad dude. But when the U.S. government looked at all the

00:06:41.980 actual charges and convictions and saw the results and listened to Tommy, they said, no, he's actually

00:06:47.700 not a terrible person as he's been deemed by the UK. And in fact, it sure looks like there's a lot

00:06:53.740 of lawfare there, especially that last ruling by the, by the British judge confirmed it. Um,

00:07:00.940 we're learning more and more about the UA, UK legal system all the time, by the way, about how

00:07:05.300 Keir Starmer is using lawyers to affect awful changes. You know, Keir Starmer used to be a civil

00:07:10.400 liberties lawyer himself, by the way, it's just so astonishing to believe that now. Um,

00:07:17.440 I, uh, you know, they're so lawyerly in the UK. I hear that the UK lawyers are refusing to let the

00:07:26.120 United States operate from U.S. army bases in the UK. The U.S. has a, uh, a joint air base in the United

00:07:34.780 Kingdom where they fly their refueling jets and their fighters and their bombers and things.

00:07:39.680 I understand that the British government has refused to allow the U.S. to operate from there

00:07:45.620 in any attacks on Iran for legal reasons. It would be a war crime to do so. This is how the UK is being

00:07:52.240 run. So I think that the offering of a visa to Tommy was not just a rebuke in terms of the censorship

00:07:59.000 of Tommy and the bullying of Tommy. I think it's the United States slapping back at Keir Starmer and

00:08:03.680 saying your whole legal system is junk. Anyways, he was in the United States and I went down there

00:08:09.940 yesterday to see him and he looks great and he looks in fine health and he's fit and he's happy

00:08:15.560 and he's busy. Uh, he feels like he's the toast of the town. So many people in America know him

00:08:21.620 and there's reasons for that. I mean, Jordan Peterson really mainstreamed him and he's done other

00:08:26.940 shows, but for 10 years, we were just sort of pounding away on Tommy Robinson. And I think

00:08:31.820 we really helped introduce him to a lot of people on this side of the ocean. Um, I did an interview

00:08:37.600 with them, which we posted last, uh, last night or this morning. I can't remember. I'll show that

00:08:42.580 to you in a minute in case you missed it. But one of the things I asked Tommy is look, now that you

00:08:46.640 can come to America, you know, we've done events with Tommy in the UK, obviously. We did some events

00:08:53.520 with Tommy in Canada. I don't know if you participated, but we had a speaking engagement in Calgary,

00:08:58.980 one in Toronto. And unfortunately the one in, I think it was in Edmonton got blocked because

00:09:03.780 Tommy was arrested in Canada. But the United States, of course, is such an important and huge

00:09:08.680 country. Now that Tommy has a visa to go to America, we talked about, um, putting on some

00:09:14.560 events with him. And I spent some time today trying to organize that. I'll keep you posted,

00:09:19.300 but in the meantime, here's my interview with Tommy Robinson.

00:09:22.020 We have a very special guest today. Last time I saw him, it was in front of the Union

00:09:27.520 Jack. Today it's in front of the Stars and Stripes. I'm talking about my old friend, Tommy

00:09:31.500 Robinson. Great to see you in America. It's great to be here as well. We're physically

00:09:35.680 in the office of General Flynn, which is sort of incredible. But I think even more incredible

00:09:40.280 is that you're here in America at all. I mean, how did you get in a year ago? My God,

00:09:46.480 you were in prison in solitary confinement. The world said you were done. Today you're on top

00:09:51.440 of the world in America. How?

00:09:55.180 Do you know, I had stopped smiling since I got here. I feel relaxed. I feel comfortable.

00:09:59.460 Do you know, I thought about exactly what you just said last week. I thought about the last

00:10:02.740 12 months. I thought, what's happened in the last 12 months? Jeez, I spent seven months

00:10:05.780 in solitary confinement. Then we'd done September 13th, the biggest event in British history.

00:10:10.080 Now I'm standing in the United States of America. Do you know, I got to, I got an, I got

00:10:12.640 a day's notice of this. I got a phone call. I was in Spain. No, I was, I was in Portugal,

00:10:16.300 but I had a rental car from Spain. So I was in Portugal and I'd left after I got an, the ISIS threat.

00:10:21.440 So I got a, like a fatwa from ISIS. I was named in their publication. So I left the country

00:10:26.200 and then I'm sitting there and I've got a phone call saying, yeah, you need to get back to

00:10:28.960 the UK. I was like, why? I said, get to the American embassy. You're getting a waiver.

00:10:32.740 Yeah.

00:10:33.560 And let's just stop there for a second because strict interpretation of the law. You have

00:10:38.340 been convicted of various offenses that would normally bar you from America. And Donald Trump

00:10:43.380 is very hard on immigrants for you to get a special permission from the state department

00:10:49.020 to come in. There's a lot of meaning there.

00:10:51.780 I had to write out and they went through each of my convictions. Yeah. So I had to sit in

00:10:56.380 the American embassy. This was a few months ago. And I went through my convictions and what

00:11:00.400 happened in my convictions and explained each of them because they're convicted that it's

00:11:03.380 lawfare. It's been a campaign of lawfare.

00:11:05.360 By the government.

00:11:06.460 In fact, the last, the last two cases that they've prosecuted me on, both judges have ruled

00:11:10.900 I've been persecuted, targeted, and it's been unlawful. Now, why did I win those cases?

00:11:15.500 Because Elon Musk stepped in. Yeah. So Elon Musk stepped in. So those last two cases,

00:11:20.000 I said, it's just like the last seven cases. Yeah. I would have been cleared. I should have

00:11:23.880 been cleared. I've never been tried by a jury. So I think America are aware and Donald Trump

00:11:27.820 certainly aware. They have him down as convicted criminal. If Donald Trump didn't win the election,

00:11:31.540 he had to spend the rest of his life in prison. Many Americans know this. Yeah. Well, they

00:11:34.900 know about the politicization of the judiciary. They've all witnessed it themselves. They know

00:11:38.600 about my story. I've had Americans stop me here. Police officers stop me here. You're the guy

00:11:42.640 they sent to jail for speech. So that's the American view on it. Remember, America has

00:11:46.180 a very different view to free speech than Europe does and Britain does.

00:11:48.980 But it shouldn't be because Britain was where we got our free speech from. Britain was where,

00:11:53.040 you know, the Magna Carta limited the crown and, you know, John Milton. You guys, the Brits,

00:12:00.740 were where it started. That's where parliament came from. How come the mothership is losing 0.69

00:12:06.660 its freedom, whereas America seems to be getting it back?

00:12:10.260 They have a constitution and fear is paralyzing and fear of being branded racist, fear of

00:12:15.600 cancel culture, fear of losing your job. And they're legitimate fears. Remember, people

00:12:19.040 do lose their jobs. People have been cancelled and people do want to attack you. Violence

00:12:22.600 within Britain and the government wants to imprison you. So innocent people have been

00:12:26.060 in prison. We've seen it. The weaponization of the courts and the judiciary. So I think it's

00:12:29.380 legitimate that people have been scared. But I'm blessed to be in the United States of

00:12:32.420 America. As I said, fight like a Flynn. We're in General Flynn's office, a gentleman who I've

00:12:35.980 watched for years, had the utmost respect for. You know, in the last 72 hours, I have met

00:12:40.100 some incredible characters. My feet haven't touched the ground. And I'm sitting with such

00:12:44.260 influential people who each one of them are recognizing, are thanking me. And for me, it's

00:12:49.500 like I'm hated in British Parliament. There's 650 MPs. They look down their nose upon us.

00:12:54.260 I go to, I went to Denmark and got a standing ovation in Parliament. I went to Poland and was

00:12:57.820 invited by members of government. I've got a state, I've got a state visit. I've got a state

00:13:02.040 visit by Israel. Now I'm in the United States. I've just come out of a meeting with Congress.

00:13:05.600 So for me, I feel vindicated. I feel like we've kept in the fight the whole time. And although

00:13:12.960 the British government have always attacked us, the rest of the world is looking at things very

00:13:17.800 differently.

00:13:19.220 Let's just spend one more minute on Elon Musk, because he took over the payment of your fees.

00:13:24.220 We used to crowdfund your legal fees. And he said, no, we're going to make it. It was a stand he took,

00:13:30.040 which was very bold. And he appeared at your September 13th rally on that giant screen.

00:13:37.080 I think he's really, he makes a difference in so many ways, not just as an industrialist,

00:13:42.800 but as a free speecher.

00:13:44.560 Do you see the, there's a massive, I'd call it a political revolution and a cultural revolution

00:13:48.940 currently happening in Great Britain. None of that would be happening if it wasn't for Elon Musk

00:13:52.880 purchased next. None of it. The country would still be asleep. People would still be scared.

00:13:57.000 People wouldn't be speaking out. The million people you saw on the streets, none of them

00:13:59.960 would have been there. He literally, and I was down, Ezra. I've been down lots of times.

00:14:03.640 I've been up and I've been down and sometimes I felt defeated and literally I was defeated

00:14:06.980 and he literally picked me up. And that was just by, when I say pick me up, he picked us

00:14:10.500 all up. He gave us a platform and a voice where people can listen to what we're saying

00:14:14.900 and that can change public opinion and not just change public opinion. It can give courage

00:14:19.260 to the public to speak up and start addressing and talking about these issues. And that gives

00:14:23.460 courage to politicians and that gives courage to journalists. And then all before you

00:14:26.980 know it, there's a big open, free discussion being had. And that's what, and that's what

00:14:30.620 witness happiness are. I'm forever grateful to Elon. I'm forever grateful to, I believe

00:14:34.500 that Jordan Peterson played a key part before Elon stepped in when I was in prison. Jordan

00:14:38.800 Peterson brought me in from the dark. Jordan Peterson sat down as such a worldwide recognised

00:14:42.820 academic. Thank you, Jordan. And thank you, Tammy. They sat me down and I feel they brought

00:14:46.860 me in from the dark. They gave me an opportunity to sit down in there and tell my story. And

00:14:50.680 that had 4 million views yesterday. When I met you in Canada, that had 4 million views.

00:14:54.020 So I was blessed by that. That's then got people in there. Do you know how many emails

00:14:58.380 I got when I was in prison from people who said, I wrote you off as a racist till I saw

00:15:01.840 you on Jordan Peterson. So that, I know the change that that interview had. And then what

00:15:06.040 Elon Musk has done, not just for me, but for Britain, for all of us, is give us a voice.

00:15:10.060 And now I'm stood here. And to be honest, I'd probably be in jail right now, again, if he

00:15:15.500 hadn't defended my court cases. And I've got another court case, Ezra. When I've returned from

00:15:19.880 here, I faced 10 years in prison in October. Was that the one when the paparazzi stalked

00:15:24.240 you? Come after me. I turned the camera on them. And the paparazzi want you prosecuted 0.92

00:15:29.920 for taking photos of them. But they're paparazzi. I faced 10 years. For telling them, I'm going

00:15:35.780 to come with a camera and ask you questions. Now, again, Elon, I've sent his lawyer the case

00:15:42.260 files on that. And he's agreed to support the defence of that. I believe now, I'm not sitting

00:15:48.200 near that concerned, because I'll win.

00:15:50.240 Well, I was there in court when the last judge gave his ruling on this crazy arrest

00:15:55.700 of you under the Terrorism Act. And the judge actually was disgusted.

00:15:59.740 He was outraged. In both the last cases, outraged. He couldn't believe it. He literally...

00:16:04.300 And when they give... I thought when he gives his verdict, it's going to be difficult for

00:16:07.080 him to side with me. But he didn't just side with me in both of them. He went against the

00:16:11.680 police. It's basically saying it's outrageous what you've done. You've targeted me.

00:16:14.700 I remember a few months before that, you were at a big march against anti-Semitism. And the

00:16:21.800 Jews there were so grateful to have your friendship. But the police sent over a dozen cops to grab

00:16:27.860 you, pepper spray you, and pull you out. And I thought, that many police to arrest Tommy?

00:16:33.440 And I thought to myself, there must be a hundred bureaucrats, lawyers, police who do nothing

00:16:39.860 all day, but track Tommy Robinson and try and get him one way or the other. It really is

00:16:45.960 a vendetta. And I'm hoping your trip to America snaps them out of that. That judge wasn't happy

00:16:50.860 with it.

00:16:51.860 I don't think you all snap them out of it. This is the problem. I don't think they see

00:16:54.620 that. Because even the last prison sentence, when they gave me 18 months, they knew the

00:16:57.960 world was watching. They knew everyone's seen my film.

00:16:59.960 They just didn't care?

00:17:00.960 They don't care.

00:17:01.960 They don't care. Do you know why they don't care? Because seven months of solitary confinement

00:17:04.960 damaged me.

00:17:05.960 I can testify to that. You were wobbled by that. It's a kind of mental torture.

00:17:09.960 I was still wobbled recently from it. I'm still wobbled from it. So I've still struggled

00:17:14.260 from it. But they know that. So they know that. And what is their purpose? The last thing

00:17:18.500 they want, which they failed at, the last thing they want is the world hearing about their

00:17:22.860 failures, about their policy failures, government failures, about the abuse on free speech,

00:17:26.960 about the oppression of the British public. They don't want the world knowing this. And I'm here

00:17:30.360 to tell the world.

00:17:31.360 Let's get back to your trip here. First of all, I just can't get over how amazing

00:17:34.360 it is. Like that must have been approved at a very senior level. I mean, maybe even Secretary

00:17:39.360 of State Rubio. I don't know. But to approve someone who's been convicted time and again

00:17:43.240 by the British state.

00:17:44.240 Do you know what I think it is? I think it's the American government. They're fully aware

00:17:47.960 of what Keir Starmer done after the riots. They're fully aware of what happened to Lucy

00:17:51.520 Connolly. She was invited here.

00:17:53.120 And they wouldn't let her go, I think, if I recall.

00:17:54.920 Yeah, she was invited. She's done 31 months in prison. So they've been watching. And if you

00:17:58.720 listen to Rubio's speeches, if you listen to J.D. Vance's speeches, if you listen to

00:18:02.040 Donald Trump speaking to Keir Starmer, they're fully aware of there's no free speech. They're

00:18:05.160 fully aware of what they're doing to the British public. They're fully aware of the European

00:18:08.280 Union's abuse of power.

00:18:09.720 And those Europeans want to go after Elon Musk. They want to prosecute him, fine him. They

00:18:16.160 are fighting back, aren't they, the Europeans?

00:18:18.160 Yeah, they're trying to. Yeah, they're trying to. But they're fighting back against the most

00:18:21.200 powerful nation in the world, with the most powerful government in the world, with the

00:18:24.440 most powerful president in the world. And a president that believes deeply in freedom

00:18:28.040 of speeches. So to Americans that are watching this, I keep saying it, I don't think when

00:18:32.880 they voted for Donald Trump and they called it a vote to save America, it was far bigger

00:18:37.640 than that. It's to save Western civilization. We, all of us, have been given light at the

00:18:43.000 end of the tunnel. We now don't feel like we're alone. We now know that the most powerful

00:18:48.080 nation in the world is warning our government. They're telling them, we're watching what you're

00:18:52.600 doing with your citizens. We're watching. And if we don't like it, maybe sanctions, whatever,

00:18:56.560 they're putting pressure on the British government. So it's great for us. It's a great feeling

00:19:00.780 to know that we have friends who, whether it be friends, I'm not saying they're our

00:19:04.500 friends, but people who agree with free speech. And the speech from J.D. Vance in Munich and

00:19:09.960 from Rubio. To sit there, from my point of view, we've been silenced. We live in a post

00:19:14.520 free speech era. Many don't realise that. And to sit and watch those speeches, it just

00:19:18.700 lit me up just thinking, right, then now they're getting told. They're not going to be able

00:19:22.220 to just continue what they've been doing. So yeah, I'm blessed to be in, man. I'm

00:19:26.340 blessed to be here. The love I've been shown, Ezra. My phone from Americans, random Americans,

00:19:31.880 just families, please come to us for dinner. We'll cook for you. Just everywhere. I've

00:19:36.120 got invites to pretty much every state in this country. So it's a beautiful feeling for me

00:19:39.740 to know how attached people have been, how many people have followed my story. And the

00:19:43.980 love that they're showing me is great, man. From where I was 12 months ago, it was even

00:19:48.540 nine months ago.

00:19:49.200 Well, you've suffered for everyone. They saw your suffering, which you chose. I was there

00:19:53.100 in court when you were sentenced to solitary. And the judge said, he said to you, if you

00:19:57.580 take down that offending tweet now, I will lop months off your sentence. And you did not

00:20:03.980 bend the knee. I honestly don't know anyone else in the world who would choose to suffer

00:20:09.320 for extra months on a point of principle. That is extremely rare. I think people see that

00:20:15.840 in you. And I'm not an expert in Christian theology, but I think there's something Christ-like

00:20:20.380 about suffering to aid your fellow man, Tommy. I think that's the reason people love you.

00:20:25.860 Yeah, well, I think that it was successful. I don't want to say it was successful, but

00:20:31.000 it was successful. 167 million people watched that film. They know the judiciary is corrupt.

00:20:35.840 They know they lied.

00:20:36.780 What was the name of the film again?

00:20:38.020 Silenced.

00:20:38.820 It was about free speech.

00:20:39.920 It wasn't silenced, was it, guys? How did that work, Justice Nicklin?

00:20:44.200 Let me ask you about the last day or two you've had here. And don't tell me any private

00:20:48.080 meetings that you have to keep under your hat. But tell me the kind of folks you've

00:20:51.620 been meeting. You just came from Congress. What do you have planned? I mean, I'm sure

00:20:56.400 a lot of people want a piece of you.

00:20:57.900 We have lots planned. We've got a website, TommyinUSA.com. People can follow our journey,

00:21:01.940 follow our story. Lots of important meetings with important individuals. I'm meeting some

00:21:06.780 of the most fascinating people in the world. People I've watched and wanted to shake their

00:21:10.580 hand and thought I'd never get the opportunity to. I'm in the United States. I'm here.

00:21:14.440 I'm enjoying every second of it. Yeah. Look, the UK population, Islamic population is at 1.00

00:21:21.140 6%. And since Churchill and Gladstone, not one member of our parliament, in all those

00:21:26.540 years, we've had terrorist attacks, children blown up, 26 of them. We've had beheadings.

00:21:31.160 We've had women stabbed in the throat. We've had all these mass killings in the name of

00:21:34.080 Islam. Not one MP has ever mentioned it. The United States population is at 1%. They've 1.00

00:21:38.300 already created a fight back through members of Congress. I just come out of a meeting in

00:21:42.840 Congress. They want to, they're at the point. Minnesota helped. Nick Shirley. This is the

00:21:47.280 importance of citizen journalism, Ezra. I'd say, Ezra, you were the, how do I say, you

00:21:51.120 were the birth of independent media, in my eyes. You were the first. And look what's

00:21:55.380 come from that. I come from working for you, yeah? And look at now what come out of Nick

00:21:58.980 Shirley, which is the best time for America to realize that they will turn a blind eye

00:22:03.440 for the block vote of the Somali community.

00:22:05.580 So you're connecting with Nick Shirley?

00:22:06.940 Nick, I'm meeting Nick tonight. I'm meeting Nick tonight. I'm in Congress interviewing another

00:22:11.440 congressman tomorrow. I've met with, I met with Carrie Lake the other day and I've watched

00:22:15.880 her. I watched what they did to her during the election. I'm meeting with some fascinating

00:22:19.920 individuals and the best individuals. And I'm traveling around America. I'm really, as

00:22:24.160 I said, I'm blessed to be here.

00:22:25.160 I hope you can.

00:22:25.980 And my kids arrive.

00:22:27.400 Well, that's going to be amazing. And you can let your hair down a little bit without the

00:22:31.280 stress. I know that being in the UK is physically stressful because you're always looking out of

00:22:36.260 the corner of your eye. My hope is that you'll have access to some big platforms here. And the

00:22:43.120 biggest of all is Joe Rogan. He's got an attention span. He talks to guests for two, three or more

00:22:48.800 hours. Your story takes a few hours to tell to a newcomer that doesn't know what's going on in the UK.

00:22:55.460 It's my hope that you'll get on some of these big shows. Do you have anything you can tell us

00:22:59.400 about yet or is it still in the planning stages?

00:23:01.900 I have non-stop sit-downs, interviews,

00:23:05.340 Lara Logan, just so many

00:23:07.540 people. I've got a long list.

00:23:09.220 Don't have Joe Rogan at the minute.

00:23:11.100 We've got to get him. Glenn Beck?

00:23:12.640 Glenn Beck, yes. I've spoke to Glenn Beck.

00:23:14.780 He's great.

00:23:15.680 Yeah, he's brilliant. But I'd like, as you said,

00:23:18.560 to tell my story. Do you know the last thing

00:23:20.660 they wanted? When I first told my story

00:23:22.720 after five years of leading the English Fence League,

00:23:24.700 the first opportunity I got to tell my story

00:23:26.280 was at the Oxford Union.

00:23:27.580 That was amazing.

00:23:28.120 And after that, they banned me from every university

00:23:30.000 because they don't want me telling my story.

00:23:31.960 That video was your first million view video,

00:23:34.640 if I'm not mistaken.

00:23:35.280 It's the most watched discussion at Oxford University.

00:23:38.000 So it was an ability for me to sit down

00:23:40.800 in a calm environment and tell my story

00:23:42.580 with evidence and warn people.

00:23:44.940 And the reason why I think,

00:23:46.280 I come to America 10 years ago with a

00:23:48.000 warning to America, which is what I'm here to do. 0.57

00:23:51.220 Warn America.

00:23:52.020 I wish someone come to the UK 34 years ago 0.70

00:23:54.260 and said, listen, this is what's going to happen.

00:23:55.960 This is how it's going to happen.

00:23:56.860 I'm not talking about what I've read in the book.

00:23:58.380 I'm talking about life experience.

00:23:59.380 I can tell you mass immigration, 1.00

00:24:00.680 what it's going to do.

00:24:01.220 You're going to become a minority. 0.94

00:24:02.480 This is what's going to happen to freedom.

00:24:03.660 This is what happens with Islam. 1.00

00:24:04.640 This is what happens with the police.

00:24:05.840 This is two-tier policing.

00:24:06.880 I can talk about every single aspect of it

00:24:08.680 in a long-form discussion.

00:24:09.940 So I'd love the opportunity to tell that story.

00:24:11.780 And it's important for me.

00:24:13.640 It's important for Britain.

00:24:14.740 It's important for America.

00:24:15.800 Because the same problems over the last eight years

00:24:17.720 by Joe Biden, they're flooding in here.

00:24:20.020 I think Joe Rogan would have the patience to listen.

00:24:24.280 He'd have smart questions.

00:24:27.100 He's very respectful of controversy.

00:24:29.840 I think that would be a wonderful interview.

00:24:31.260 Last question, Tommy,

00:24:32.100 and thanks for letting me catch up with you.

00:24:34.520 Ordinary people who support you

00:24:36.620 probably want to come and hear you speak.

00:24:39.300 And I know you did a couple of events in Canada.

00:24:41.520 You just did a big event in Israel.

00:24:43.880 Of course, you're massive events in London.

00:24:45.960 Do you think you're going to have any occasions

00:24:47.720 where you might give a speech in Washington or LA

00:24:49.800 or something that ordinary people can sign up for

00:24:52.160 and get a ticket to?

00:24:54.920 Will you sort that out?

00:24:55.940 Because I can't...

00:24:56.700 I'll help.

00:24:57.280 Oh, yeah.

00:24:57.720 Love to.

00:24:58.720 I'm just literally...

00:24:59.760 I said my feet have not touched the ground

00:25:01.340 every minute of every day.

00:25:02.360 I'm not good at that.

00:25:02.840 I'd love to help.

00:25:03.600 Yeah.

00:25:04.120 Help if you can.

00:25:04.860 Because Joe won't want more than anything,

00:25:05.960 which is why we were going to go travel

00:25:07.200 to some American families.

00:25:08.460 So American families will reach out to me.

00:25:10.120 I've always said we're by the people for the people.

00:25:11.620 I want to meet the normal people.

00:25:12.760 I want to meet the people.

00:25:13.540 I think people would fill an auditorium

00:25:15.800 to hear you give a talk.

00:25:17.480 Like a presentation.

00:25:19.240 I'd love to.

00:25:20.860 I'm here for a little while.

00:25:23.160 Let's put it that way.

00:25:23.940 Obviously, I've got my event on May 16th in the UK.

00:25:26.080 It's going to be the biggest event.

00:25:27.540 Are you coming?

00:25:28.300 I'll be there.

00:25:28.860 Yeah, yeah.

00:25:29.260 It's going to be the biggest event.

00:25:30.240 So I've got a lot of work to do around that

00:25:32.020 and to build up to it.

00:25:33.280 But at the minute, as I said,

00:25:35.600 I'm waiting for my family to arrive.

00:25:37.160 I'm going to enjoy a real relaxed time.

00:25:39.300 I'm going to work like crazy.

00:25:40.520 Anyone who's been watching our content we're producing,

00:25:42.140 we're going to non-stop.

00:25:43.280 We're non-stop whilst Aiden, the main man, is here.

00:25:46.900 He goes home in probably 10 days.

00:25:48.920 Then I'm having some time with my children.

00:25:50.380 I can't wait.

00:25:51.000 I'm really happy to hear that.

00:25:52.340 Your kids, obviously, have paid the price their whole life.

00:25:55.340 They're proud of their dad.

00:25:56.300 I've met your kids.

00:25:57.580 They love you.

00:25:58.920 And they believe in what you're doing.

00:26:00.340 But just to have some normal time with dad,

00:26:02.840 doing fun stuff in America,

00:26:04.240 which is great for road trips.

00:26:06.220 It's bigger than the UK.

00:26:07.580 You can stretch your legs.

00:26:08.540 I said, my son arrives tomorrow.

00:26:10.360 He can't wait, man.

00:26:11.280 Well, that's wonderful.

00:26:12.240 Listen, I can't tell you how happy I am to see you.

00:26:14.500 I remember when I visited you in solitary confinement in that prison.

00:26:18.140 And I could see what they were trying to break you.

00:26:21.260 And they didn't.

00:26:22.480 And here you are.

00:26:23.640 I think you're on top of the world.

00:26:25.360 And I can hardly wait to see what you do next.

00:26:27.440 Congratulations to you.

00:26:28.600 And on behalf of everyone around the world who loves freedom,

00:26:32.120 who loves the UK,

00:26:33.240 and who is worried about the things you have exposed,

00:26:35.980 thank you for keeping up the fight, my friend.

00:26:38.920 And all the best.

00:26:39.940 Thanks for always being there.

00:26:41.120 There he is, Tommy Robinson in America.

00:26:43.600 Who would have thunk it?

00:26:44.480 Come on.

00:26:46.760 Well, I'm excited.

00:26:48.020 And I'm happy for him.

00:26:49.980 And it gives me a little bit of hope.

00:26:51.700 You know, the kids use the phrase black pill,

00:26:53.760 which means everything's doomed.

00:26:55.280 Or blue pill means you're woke.

00:26:58.340 And red pill means you're sort of alive to the way the world is.

00:27:01.360 Well, white pill, and I'm just using the kids' lingo here,

00:27:04.700 is when you're really hopeful again.

00:27:06.740 And the success of Tommy just in the last year,

00:27:09.300 from solitary confinement to toast to the town in America,

00:27:13.000 it gives you a little bit of hope, doesn't it?

00:27:15.260 Hey, stay with us.

00:27:16.500 Here's an interview I did with Tracy Wilson on Canadian firearms.

00:27:25.280 Hey, welcome back.

00:27:29.820 Gun crime is, it's a new highs every week.

00:27:32.880 I mean, do I need to tell you that?

00:27:33.920 There's a crime wave across Canada.

00:27:35.660 And, of course, the Toronto police response to that

00:27:38.720 is to tell people to have their key fobs for their cars

00:27:42.300 near the front door so that when their homes are invaded,

00:27:45.840 it's easy for the criminals to get the key fobs.

00:27:48.240 They don't have to go marauding through the house.

00:27:50.460 If you think I'm kidding, let me refresh your memory

00:27:52.300 with this embarrassing clip.

00:27:54.480 There's also updated advice for all vehicle owners.

00:27:57.980 A message echoed by Toronto police

00:27:59.540 speaking at an Etobicoke safety meeting last month.

00:28:02.540 Constable Marco Ricciardi had a new message for vehicle owners

00:28:05.740 who keep their fobs in Faraday pouches.

00:28:08.900 To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home,

00:28:13.000 leave your fobs at your front door.

00:28:14.420 Because they're breaking into your home to steal your car.

00:28:17.120 They don't want anything else.

00:28:18.080 A lot of them that they're arresting have guns on them.

00:28:21.080 And they're not toy guns, they're real guns.

00:28:23.040 They're loaded.

00:28:23.600 Yeah, so it's a lot easier to scapegoat law-abiding gun owners

00:28:29.200 than to try and take on the crime wave,

00:28:31.820 some of which comes from overseas.

00:28:33.400 I mean, you saw this the other day from the Surrey police.

00:28:37.160 This was broadcast in both English and foreign languages,

00:28:41.400 trying to convince, pleading with people, in fact,

00:28:45.240 not to engage in extortion in the new country.

00:28:49.560 Take a look at this official police statement in multi-languages.

00:28:53.440 Take a look.

00:28:54.160 Have you been asked to help others extort people for money?

00:28:57.940 Have you been offered money to shoot at a house or business

00:29:01.400 or send threatening messages to people?

00:29:04.200 Don't take the bait.

00:29:05.660 You are being offered a small sum of money to take enormous risk

00:29:09.760 that can harm you, your family, and everyday hardworking people.

00:29:14.360 This is not why you came to Canada.

00:29:16.960 You came to go to school, to find a better life,

00:29:20.660 to be one of the first in your family to start something new.

00:29:24.240 You did not come here to become a criminal.

00:29:27.120 For many of you, your family or temple sponsored you to be here.

00:29:31.580 Committing these crimes isn't worth the dishonour,

00:29:34.540 the shame and disappointment you would bring to those

00:29:38.140 who have given so much for you to be here.

00:29:41.540 Don't risk being arrested, jailed, and removed from Canada.

00:29:46.060 If you need help or you have confidential information,

00:29:50.220 call our Surrey extortion tip line at 236-485-5149.

00:29:56.820 There is a reward fund of $250,000 available

00:30:00.340 for information that helps us stop extortions in Surrey.

00:30:04.200 Yeah, if someone is willing to extort another person

00:30:10.800 and threaten to murder them, 0.61

00:30:13.080 my guess is that simply scolding them

00:30:15.380 and telling them to be a good Canadian isn't going to work,

00:30:18.420 but what do I know?

00:30:19.920 And as part of these placebos, 1.00

00:30:22.100 as part of these misdirections,

00:30:25.660 the government is targeting what they call

00:30:27.940 assault-style firearms.

00:30:31.020 And they call it assault-style firearms

00:30:32.800 because they really don't have any other way

00:30:34.840 to categorize the guns they don't like

00:30:37.160 other than they look scary.

00:30:39.400 I mean, what is an assault rifle after all?

00:30:43.780 By the way, very few of these weapons

00:30:45.300 would actually be used in a military assault.

00:30:48.320 I remember not long ago,

00:30:49.340 the government of Canada said

00:30:50.420 it was going to have a gun buyback,

00:30:52.700 and then it would give those guns 0.56

00:30:54.420 to the Ukrainian military

00:30:56.060 to defend themselves against the Russian invasion.

00:30:59.780 The Ukrainians didn't want the little plinkers, 1.00

00:31:02.000 the little pow, pow, pow guns.

00:31:03.960 They want modern weapons.

00:31:05.540 And the whole thing, again, was just a PR exercise.

00:31:08.740 Joining us now to talk about the looming deadline

00:31:11.520 for handing in your assault-style firearms

00:31:16.060 is our friend Tracy Wilson

00:31:17.760 for the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights.

00:31:21.300 Hey, Tracy, nice to see you again.

00:31:22.880 It's great to see you too, Ezra.

00:31:24.180 Thanks for having me on.

00:31:25.320 You're welcome.

00:31:26.080 You know, I think it's always,

00:31:28.460 I mean, funny is the wrong word for it,

00:31:30.360 but whenever there's a new cabinet minister

00:31:33.180 in charge of firearms,

00:31:35.120 if they go to a committee

00:31:36.220 and someone like, say, Andrew Lawton,

00:31:38.080 who knows a little bit of firearms,

00:31:39.600 asks them,

00:31:40.360 what is an assault weapon

00:31:42.460 or an assault-style weapon?

00:31:45.260 And to see them,

00:31:46.120 bada, badee, bada, stammering,

00:31:48.720 they don't know.

00:31:50.300 They just know it's scary for them

00:31:52.900 and scary for the public.

00:31:54.840 Most of the ministers in Canadian history

00:31:58.020 who have sought to ban guns

00:31:59.880 have probably not even held one

00:32:01.580 or maybe even seen one in real life.

00:32:04.360 Well, that's probably why

00:32:05.660 we've been through six public safety ministers

00:32:07.700 in the last decade,

00:32:09.360 is it's one of those files

00:32:10.740 that it's almost a punishment to get it.

00:32:13.260 And you're right.

00:32:14.320 There's no such thing as assault-style firearm.

00:32:17.220 An actual assault weapon

00:32:18.740 was prohibited in Canada back in 1978,

00:32:22.520 and those have full-auto capability.

00:32:24.660 There is no military in the world

00:32:26.400 that uses the firearms

00:32:27.980 that they are talking about

00:32:29.100 under this confiscation program.

00:32:31.520 Yeah, I mean,

00:32:32.520 they're not muskets.

00:32:34.400 That's sort of old-timey,

00:32:35.960 like the three musketeers.

00:32:37.460 But, I mean,

00:32:38.140 I'm not an expert in firearms either,

00:32:39.700 and I feel slightly inadequate

00:32:41.440 whenever I talk about the subject

00:32:42.660 as compared to my dear friend,

00:32:44.840 Shilligan-Reed,

00:32:45.480 who's a firearms aficionado.

00:32:47.180 Right.

00:32:47.600 But I am savvy enough

00:32:49.000 to know that

00:32:49.740 the low rate of fire weapons

00:32:52.400 that are at home

00:32:54.740 in ranches and farms

00:32:55.980 across rural parts

00:32:57.300 and some urban parts of Canada,

00:32:59.200 they are not used

00:33:00.440 to storm the beaches of Normandy.

00:33:02.180 Even in 1944,

00:33:04.140 the beaches of Normandy

00:33:05.260 were not stormed

00:33:06.240 with little

00:33:06.880 plink, plink, plink firearms.

00:33:09.520 They just weren't.

00:33:10.400 But I think

00:33:11.060 the same sort of

00:33:12.340 low-information voter

00:33:13.740 who would vote

00:33:14.320 for the elbows-up

00:33:15.360 propaganda of Mark Carney

00:33:17.040 would probably vote

00:33:17.700 for the seizing of,

00:33:19.140 I think they should just call them

00:33:20.100 scary guns

00:33:21.640 or mean-looking guns

00:33:23.640 because that actually

00:33:25.000 is what they're trying

00:33:25.820 to encompass.

00:33:26.420 Anything that looks scary,

00:33:27.500 why don't you say it?

00:33:29.180 Yeah, well,

00:33:29.720 that would be refreshing.

00:33:31.380 In fact,

00:33:32.040 you know,

00:33:32.340 we've had a bunch

00:33:33.180 of refreshing information lately.

00:33:34.860 You'll remember

00:33:35.460 the minister was honest

00:33:36.860 with Canadians

00:33:37.540 when he thought

00:33:38.660 nobody was listening

00:33:39.460 in that leaked audio

00:33:40.480 that we had put out

00:33:41.540 where he admitted

00:33:42.280 this program

00:33:42.820 is not going to do anything

00:33:44.200 for public safety.

00:33:45.660 Let me just play a clip of that.

00:33:46.560 Let me stop you there, Tracy.

00:33:47.520 I hate to stop you

00:33:48.340 before we get going.

00:33:49.020 I just want to refresh

00:33:50.060 the memory

00:33:50.820 of our viewers.

00:33:52.640 This is Gary Anandasangri

00:33:53.860 who is very busy

00:33:54.940 being an urban landlord.

00:33:56.560 I guess he doesn't have

00:33:57.160 a lot to do

00:33:58.040 on his real job.

00:33:59.880 And he was talking

00:34:00.560 to a tenant

00:34:01.100 and the tenant recorded it.

00:34:02.920 And here is Gary Anandasangri,

00:34:04.940 the public safety minister,

00:34:05.940 saying,

00:34:06.380 don't worry about it.

00:34:07.540 It's all BS.

00:34:08.800 And if his tenant

00:34:09.700 has a problem,

00:34:10.320 he can go talk to him

00:34:11.140 for special favors.

00:34:12.200 Here's just a quick recap

00:34:13.320 of that audio.

00:34:15.020 I'll tell you,

00:34:15.720 if I were to redo this

00:34:17.000 from the beginning,

00:34:17.640 like I'm picking up

00:34:18.840 where it was left off,

00:34:20.720 right?

00:34:21.260 But you have the power.

00:34:22.800 That's a rollback.

00:34:23.640 But this is the mandate

00:34:24.720 that was given

00:34:25.340 by Carney

00:34:26.180 to complete this.

00:34:29.380 Yeah,

00:34:29.580 because you guys

00:34:30.260 look like fools.

00:34:31.100 Roll in.

00:34:31.480 Like stepping back.

00:34:32.100 And not revisit this.

00:34:34.660 Sure.

00:34:35.180 That's my objective,

00:34:37.120 right?

00:34:37.380 Just to put an end

00:34:38.440 to this

00:34:38.820 and move on

00:34:40.580 with other

00:34:41.280 additional

00:34:42.560 criminal justice

00:34:44.160 tools,

00:34:45.660 including on bail,

00:34:47.260 including on

00:34:47.880 increasing penalties

00:34:49.800 for people

00:34:50.540 who have

00:34:51.400 illegal

00:34:52.940 and unlicensed firearms.

00:34:55.420 sort of read

00:34:56.660 the things

00:34:57.060 that we're already

00:34:58.440 going to be doing.

00:35:00.400 But this is not new.

00:35:02.480 This has been happening

00:35:03.420 over at any time.

00:35:04.820 I'll tell you,

00:35:05.780 going forward

00:35:07.860 will be a different approach.

00:35:09.400 This is completing

00:35:10.880 something that was started

00:35:12.480 five years ago

00:35:13.400 that,

00:35:14.100 you know,

00:35:14.860 but as the minister,

00:35:16.380 you can sit down

00:35:17.340 with Mark

00:35:18.540 and say,

00:35:19.480 listen,

00:35:20.900 there's something

00:35:21.280 we need to address

00:35:23.300 these four issues.

00:35:24.180 We've had

00:35:24.800 all these conversations.

00:35:26.420 Like I've had

00:35:26.880 for the last four months,

00:35:28.180 it's been like

00:35:29.180 constant,

00:35:30.100 constant discussions

00:35:31.780 on this

00:35:32.440 to see what's next,

00:35:33.660 right?

00:35:34.080 And the conclusion

00:35:34.900 is let's finish this

00:35:36.040 because we committed

00:35:37.200 to another campaign.

00:35:38.240 I mean,

00:35:38.480 the whole thing

00:35:39.020 is a trick.

00:35:39.620 I didn't mean

00:35:40.080 to interrupt you.

00:35:40.640 I just wanted

00:35:41.100 to refresh

00:35:41.620 the memory

00:35:42.020 of our viewers.

00:35:42.820 You were saying.

00:35:44.440 Yeah,

00:35:44.700 well,

00:35:45.080 and the minister

00:35:45.960 usually tells the truth

00:35:46.920 where he thinks

00:35:47.340 nobody's listening.

00:35:48.080 So it's interesting.

00:35:50.400 But yes,

00:35:51.460 just recently

00:35:52.280 the government

00:35:53.040 has come out,

00:35:54.020 updated this program.

00:35:55.100 So you'll remember

00:35:55.760 this program

00:35:57.160 opened up

00:35:57.860 for gun owners

00:35:58.600 to,

00:35:59.280 of course,

00:35:59.620 self-report themselves

00:36:00.680 to the government

00:36:02.340 because,

00:36:03.100 of course,

00:36:03.300 the government

00:36:03.620 has no idea

00:36:04.420 who's got what

00:36:05.100 or where it is.

00:36:06.540 So the government

00:36:07.300 has opened up

00:36:08.220 the confiscation program,

00:36:10.720 which to this point

00:36:11.620 amounts nothing more

00:36:13.640 than a website.

00:36:14.600 It's just a portal

00:36:15.580 to go and register

00:36:16.740 your firearms.

00:36:18.120 So in the first week,

00:36:19.860 they had about

00:36:20.500 22,000 or 23,000

00:36:22.720 firearms reported

00:36:24.020 to them.

00:36:24.800 And that may sound

00:36:25.400 like a big number.

00:36:26.280 I mean,

00:36:26.540 here we are a month later

00:36:27.600 and they're only

00:36:28.420 at 33,000.

00:36:29.720 But you have to keep

00:36:30.700 in mind that there

00:36:31.320 are over 2 million

00:36:32.280 affected firearms

00:36:33.420 in this program.

00:36:35.100 So uptake

00:36:35.680 is ridiculously low.

00:36:37.600 Canadians are not 0.97

00:36:38.320 going for this program.

00:36:40.020 And so in response,

00:36:41.920 the RCMP

00:36:42.520 has sent out

00:36:43.180 a reminder,

00:36:44.300 you know,

00:36:44.820 just in case

00:36:45.380 you forgot

00:36:45.840 or maybe you

00:36:46.960 didn't schedule

00:36:47.540 it in to your agenda.

00:36:50.280 But they sent out

00:36:51.280 a reminder email

00:36:52.220 kind of threatening

00:36:52.900 you that if you

00:36:53.620 don't get this done,

00:36:54.920 there will be

00:36:55.400 repercussions,

00:36:56.240 including possibly

00:36:57.680 losing your firearms

00:36:58.520 license.

00:36:59.040 Yeah.

00:36:59.640 You know,

00:37:00.180 it's sort of weird

00:37:01.100 for a paperwork crime,

00:37:03.300 which I think

00:37:03.740 this is sort of,

00:37:05.060 to turn

00:37:05.920 thousands,

00:37:08.300 hundreds of thousands,

00:37:09.080 maybe even millions

00:37:09.740 of law-abiding Canadians

00:37:10.860 into criminals

00:37:12.040 by virtue of them.

00:37:13.920 Like,

00:37:14.000 they're the same people

00:37:15.520 they ever were,

00:37:16.800 but they are actually

00:37:17.960 being criminalized.

00:37:18.860 And one of the things,

00:37:20.000 and I was just looking

00:37:21.060 through some notes

00:37:21.860 provided to me

00:37:22.760 by our producer,

00:37:24.200 like it's a deadline,

00:37:26.440 the end of March.

00:37:27.120 So March 30th,

00:37:29.160 you're fine.

00:37:30.260 April Fool's Day,

00:37:31.200 you're not.

00:37:32.420 Now some,

00:37:33.120 I was reading in,

00:37:34.320 I think it was a note

00:37:35.140 that you sent over,

00:37:36.280 a member of the

00:37:36.840 Canadian Armed Forces

00:37:37.700 who happens to own

00:37:38.620 firearms privately as well

00:37:40.180 is overseas,

00:37:42.160 if I'm not mistaken.

00:37:43.480 He's deployed

00:37:44.300 out of the country.

00:37:45.120 My guess is

00:37:46.020 he's probably over there

00:37:46.980 in Latvia,

00:37:48.060 you know,

00:37:48.700 pretty much on the front lines

00:37:49.720 with Russia.

00:37:51.060 But his firearms back home,

00:37:53.760 he hasn't,

00:37:54.580 he's not able

00:37:55.040 to deal with them.

00:37:56.080 So literally,

00:37:57.120 a guy who is trained

00:37:59.560 to fight and defend

00:38:00.680 the West

00:38:01.260 could be criminalized

00:38:03.480 by this showboating

00:38:06.020 Gary Ananda Sangery trick.

00:38:08.460 What do you know

00:38:08.920 about that case?

00:38:09.580 I think it was you

00:38:10.280 who received that tip.

00:38:12.140 Yeah, that's right.

00:38:12.680 So it was a member

00:38:13.260 who reached out to us.

00:38:14.200 He is a current serving

00:38:15.160 member of the military.

00:38:16.280 And actually,

00:38:17.120 since I posted that,

00:38:18.100 I've been bombarded

00:38:18.820 by a bunch of other

00:38:19.820 serving military members

00:38:21.320 who are on deployment.

00:38:22.660 And of course,

00:38:23.360 deployments are long.

00:38:24.360 They're six to eight months

00:38:25.400 in length.

00:38:26.400 And he said,

00:38:27.400 you know,

00:38:27.840 I recognize that

00:38:29.000 even if I fill out

00:38:30.420 the declaration,

00:38:31.040 I'm not likely to get paid

00:38:32.400 because most gun owners

00:38:34.120 will be ripped off.

00:38:35.140 95% of them will be.

00:38:37.460 But he said,

00:38:38.360 when I went to go

00:38:39.340 and access the portal,

00:38:40.760 you have to provide

00:38:41.460 a bunch of information

00:38:42.320 about the firearms,

00:38:43.360 like their serial numbers.

00:38:44.600 And of course,

00:38:45.880 he's sitting across the pond,

00:38:48.140 you know,

00:38:49.020 and his gun safe

00:38:49.640 is back here in Canada

00:38:50.720 and he can't access it.

00:38:52.480 So he called the Canadian,

00:38:54.160 called the assault style

00:38:55.260 firearms compensation program

00:38:56.700 and said,

00:38:57.480 hey, what do I do?

00:38:58.120 I don't have this information

00:38:59.420 with me.

00:39:00.260 I didn't write it down

00:39:01.580 and pack it in my kit

00:39:03.700 to go overseas

00:39:04.940 and train the Ukrainians.

00:39:07.740 So they said,

00:39:09.260 well,

00:39:09.480 can your wife 1.00

00:39:10.400 look at the firearms

00:39:11.500 and look up the serial numbers?

00:39:13.000 And he said,

00:39:13.340 well, of course not.

00:39:13.920 She doesn't have

00:39:14.460 a firearms license.

00:39:15.520 It would be illegal

00:39:16.520 to give her access

00:39:17.480 to those firearms.

00:39:18.100 Good one.

00:39:18.540 Good one.

00:39:19.180 Yes.

00:39:19.720 And they're trying

00:39:20.440 to catch him there, right?

00:39:22.140 The problem is,

00:39:23.260 is his deployment

00:39:24.100 goes out,

00:39:25.540 not just past the deadline

00:39:27.080 for filling out

00:39:28.060 the declaration

00:39:28.700 if you're going to try

00:39:29.660 and, you know,

00:39:30.460 maybe get paid.

00:39:31.800 It goes out past

00:39:33.080 the deadline

00:39:33.680 that protects you

00:39:34.840 until the end of October

00:39:35.960 for the amnesty.

00:39:37.540 So upon his re-entry

00:39:39.020 back into Canada

00:39:40.120 at the end

00:39:40.940 of his deployment,

00:39:41.900 he will then be

00:39:43.020 in illegal possession

00:39:44.140 of a prohibited firearm

00:39:45.460 that carries

00:39:46.500 a very lengthy

00:39:47.400 jail sentence

00:39:48.100 and he will be

00:39:49.420 subject to charges.

00:39:50.860 Wow.

00:39:51.280 And he's like,

00:39:52.000 there's literally

00:39:52.660 nothing I can do.

00:39:53.560 I'm sitting over here

00:39:54.620 deployed.

00:39:56.040 What do I do

00:39:56.660 about this?

00:39:57.200 And so I've written

00:39:58.760 to the minister,

00:40:00.000 I've written

00:40:00.420 to the Canadian

00:40:01.080 Firearms Program,

00:40:02.320 I've written

00:40:02.740 to Public Safety.

00:40:04.320 I don't know

00:40:04.780 if they're aware

00:40:05.220 of this problem.

00:40:06.000 Like I said,

00:40:06.520 I'm now being flooded

00:40:07.320 by other serving members

00:40:08.880 who have the same problem

00:40:10.580 and there is no solution

00:40:13.180 at this time.

00:40:13.960 So, you know,

00:40:15.060 we'll have to keep you

00:40:15.740 updated on this,

00:40:16.680 but this is actually

00:40:17.500 a very serious oversight

00:40:19.260 on their part

00:40:20.580 and it criminalizes

00:40:22.040 our serving members

00:40:23.300 who are out there

00:40:24.200 serving their country.

00:40:25.220 You know,

00:40:26.040 I'm old enough

00:40:26.460 to remember

00:40:26.860 the first gun registry

00:40:28.020 under Alan Rock,

00:40:29.060 just billions of dollars.

00:40:30.820 They didn't know

00:40:31.240 what they were doing.

00:40:31.900 They had no clue

00:40:32.740 about firearms themselves,

00:40:34.260 let alone,

00:40:35.000 these are the people

00:40:35.660 who spent billions

00:40:37.300 and overruns

00:40:38.120 on a payroll system

00:40:39.240 in Ottawa.

00:40:40.140 You know,

00:40:40.940 there used to be a joke

00:40:42.160 the liberals talked about,

00:40:43.200 deliberology.

00:40:44.400 They made up

00:40:44.940 the word deliberology,

00:40:46.120 which just basically meant

00:40:47.100 doing what you say

00:40:48.260 you would do

00:40:48.860 or doing what you're

00:40:49.520 supposed to do.

00:40:50.780 They don't do anything.

00:40:52.220 The liberal government

00:40:52.940 is very, very good

00:40:54.460 at putting out

00:40:55.020 statements and proposals

00:40:56.220 and plans.

00:40:57.780 Not so good

00:40:58.560 at actually following

00:40:59.360 through with them

00:40:59.900 and Gary Anandasangri

00:41:01.220 is the biggest joke

00:41:01.960 of all

00:41:02.400 when he's not being

00:41:03.600 a,

00:41:04.100 like he's got

00:41:05.700 this side hustle

00:41:07.000 because apparently

00:41:07.900 being a public safety

00:41:09.700 minister isn't enough

00:41:10.600 for him.

00:41:11.520 Let me say this.

00:41:13.880 I'm sure you have

00:41:15.040 access to outstanding

00:41:16.120 lawyers,

00:41:16.940 but if the gentleman

00:41:18.320 in question

00:41:19.060 returns to Canada

00:41:20.540 and faces charges

00:41:21.700 or if others

00:41:22.840 in his position

00:41:23.560 do so,

00:41:24.300 unless there's

00:41:25.180 a lawyer

00:41:25.600 who is an expert

00:41:26.540 in these matters

00:41:27.160 who is otherwise

00:41:28.660 provided for,

00:41:29.960 will you do me

00:41:30.740 a favor

00:41:31.140 and contact me

00:41:32.800 because I would

00:41:33.680 be so outraged

00:41:35.800 if a Canadian

00:41:37.060 Armed Forces

00:41:37.900 serving member

00:41:39.580 who is literally

00:41:41.320 risking his life,

00:41:42.140 like that is not

00:41:42.760 a risk-free

00:41:43.440 project he's on,

00:41:45.280 and if he comes

00:41:46.160 back to be criminalized,

00:41:47.340 we would,

00:41:47.940 I know our viewers,

00:41:48.860 would crowdfund

00:41:49.660 a lawyer.

00:41:50.240 If you don't need

00:41:50.880 our help,

00:41:51.360 don't worry about it

00:41:52.080 because I know

00:41:52.420 you guys have

00:41:52.820 access to lawyers too,

00:41:54.120 but the idea

00:41:55.020 that these good guys

00:41:56.200 could be treated

00:41:57.120 worse than the criminals

00:41:58.240 is intolerable to me.

00:42:00.640 Yeah, me too.

00:42:01.620 I mean, you know

00:42:02.200 I'm a military family.

00:42:03.860 My daughter was

00:42:04.440 on a deployment.

00:42:05.180 She's actually getting

00:42:05.820 set to go on another one,

00:42:07.460 and just the idea

00:42:08.480 that you're stuck

00:42:09.820 in this situation

00:42:10.660 because, I mean,

00:42:11.500 the government's only

00:42:12.140 put so much runway

00:42:12.940 for this program.

00:42:13.800 It's very short

00:42:14.460 in an effort

00:42:15.900 to hurry up

00:42:16.500 and get it done

00:42:17.180 that they haven't

00:42:18.280 considered these issues,

00:42:19.820 and yeah,

00:42:20.320 this is going to

00:42:20.900 negatively impact

00:42:22.260 a lot of people.

00:42:23.600 It's terrible.

00:42:24.800 I'll absolutely

00:42:25.680 connect you

00:42:26.700 if he has a problem

00:42:27.480 when he gets back.

00:42:28.380 Yeah, I mean,

00:42:28.940 obviously,

00:42:29.500 if he's got things

00:42:30.400 in hand,

00:42:30.840 that's good to know.

00:42:31.900 You know,

00:42:32.480 they really don't know

00:42:35.120 what they're doing,

00:42:35.780 the government,

00:42:36.540 and I don't think

00:42:37.680 that they're open

00:42:38.460 to consulting

00:42:39.360 because they regard

00:42:40.380 lawful firearms owners

00:42:41.980 as the bad guys.

00:42:43.060 Like, they would

00:42:43.960 detest you

00:42:45.080 more than an actual

00:42:46.920 criminal.

00:42:47.580 They just would.

00:42:48.280 Because they regard

00:42:49.180 you as an ideological

00:42:50.260 enemy.

00:42:51.320 So they would never

00:42:52.300 take advice from you

00:42:53.500 because it's got

00:42:56.380 to be fake.

00:42:57.000 It's got to be malicious.

00:42:57.760 Like, they have

00:42:58.620 such an enemy's mindset,

00:43:00.200 and their friends

00:43:01.500 are as clueless

00:43:02.300 as they are.

00:43:03.000 Anyhow,

00:43:03.320 it's just a crazy story.

00:43:05.600 And hopefully,

00:43:06.660 the government

00:43:07.040 won't do anything stupid,

00:43:08.400 but that's like,

00:43:09.220 that's a vain hope.

00:43:11.820 You know?

00:43:12.240 Yeah.

00:43:12.460 Well, I don't have

00:43:14.580 a lot of faith

00:43:15.140 in this minister

00:43:15.820 or this government.

00:43:17.460 And, you know,

00:43:18.580 their track record

00:43:19.320 on not just how

00:43:20.340 they treat gun owners,

00:43:21.180 but how they treat

00:43:21.780 military members

00:43:22.820 speaks for itself.

00:43:24.440 You know,

00:43:25.280 there's a U.S.

00:43:26.180 senator from Louisiana.

00:43:27.520 His name is

00:43:28.040 John Kennedy,

00:43:29.040 no relation

00:43:29.580 to the late president.

00:43:30.980 And he's got

00:43:31.460 all these one-liners.

00:43:32.500 And I just,

00:43:33.100 when I think

00:43:33.500 of Gary Hernandez-Angry,

00:43:34.860 I think of this one line

00:43:35.880 from Senator Kennedy

00:43:37.440 who said,

00:43:38.780 you're not

00:43:39.640 the dumbest person

00:43:40.620 in the world,

00:43:41.380 but you better hope

00:43:42.280 the dumbest person

00:43:43.040 in the world

00:43:43.380 doesn't die.

00:43:44.600 Yeah.

00:43:45.320 I don't know

00:43:46.060 if you heard that one.

00:43:47.240 And when I think

00:43:47.900 of Gary Hernandez-Angry,

00:43:49.620 I mean,

00:43:50.000 he may not be the dumbest,

00:43:51.380 but Lord Thunder,

00:43:52.280 and he is close.

00:43:53.420 Oh, brother.

00:43:54.480 I shouldn't be laughing.

00:43:55.600 There's nothing funny

00:43:56.640 about it,

00:43:57.500 even the fact

00:43:58.200 that he's our

00:43:58.760 public safety minister,

00:43:59.640 given that he was

00:44:00.260 a lawyer for a

00:44:02.160 proscribed terrorist group.

00:44:03.540 It's just shocking.

00:44:04.400 Great to catch up

00:44:04.980 with you, Tracy.

00:44:05.460 Thanks for your help.

00:44:06.740 Thanks.

00:44:07.060 Thanks a lot, Ezra.

00:44:08.040 All right.

00:44:08.420 We'll see you soon.

00:44:09.220 Tracy Wilson

00:44:09.760 and the Canadian Coalition

00:44:10.720 for Firearms Rights.

00:44:12.720 Stay with us.

00:44:13.380 Your letters to me next.

00:44:22.940 Hey, welcome back.

00:44:23.940 Here's your letters to me.

00:44:25.660 On my interview

00:44:27.120 with Michelle Rempel-Garner,

00:44:28.860 Gums55 says,

00:44:30.160 Michelle Rempel

00:44:30.620 is definitely

00:44:31.060 on the right track,

00:44:32.020 but like so many issues,

00:44:33.040 nothing ever gets done.

00:44:34.660 At least Daniel Smith

00:44:35.460 gets things done.

00:44:36.360 Shows our federal

00:44:37.680 political system

00:44:38.500 is useless,

00:44:39.100 open for liberal corruption.

00:44:40.920 Yeah, now in fairness,

00:44:42.300 Rempel-Garner

00:44:42.760 is in the opposition

00:44:44.840 and the liberals

00:44:46.960 have an almost

00:44:48.000 majority government

00:44:48.920 and if they

00:44:49.440 were missing it anyways,

00:44:50.960 they have the NDP

00:44:52.140 and the block

00:44:52.660 to give them a majority

00:44:53.500 on things like immigration.

00:44:55.020 So,

00:44:55.580 that's why someone

00:44:57.140 like Daniel Smith

00:44:57.760 can do things

00:44:58.560 because she is the premier

00:44:59.800 with the majority government.

00:45:01.060 But remember,

00:45:01.620 immigration is a federal matter.

00:45:03.080 So,

00:45:03.800 Danielle Smith herself

00:45:04.880 cannot stop

00:45:06.240 the numbers of migrants,

00:45:07.640 but she can do

00:45:08.480 some of the things

00:45:09.060 she's looking to serve 1.00

00:45:10.320 with the population

00:45:11.020 on through referendums,

00:45:11.920 such as stripping

00:45:13.440 newcomers of

00:45:15.100 free healthcare,

00:45:16.200 free social services,

00:45:17.380 free schooling

00:45:17.980 until they meet

00:45:19.300 certain conditions.

00:45:20.020 So,

00:45:20.700 she is taking

00:45:21.400 action steps,

00:45:22.420 but don't be too hard

00:45:23.800 on Rempel-Garner

00:45:24.480 for not being able to act

00:45:25.880 because she's in the opposition.

00:45:28.460 Christian Robert DeMassi

00:45:29.960 says,

00:45:30.720 total immigration moratorium,

00:45:32.460 negative migration.

00:45:33.540 We need to protect

00:45:34.180 our nation,

00:45:34.780 culture,

00:45:35.040 and identity.

00:45:35.620 Be like Japan. 1.00

00:45:37.120 You know,

00:45:37.520 I'm so excited

00:45:38.420 to see Japan.

00:45:39.600 I had the opportunity

00:45:41.320 to visit that country

00:45:42.240 a couple years ago.

00:45:43.240 It is so wonderful.

00:45:44.380 I have to say,

00:45:45.320 I mean,

00:45:45.580 it's an alien culture.

00:45:47.060 It's not like comfy

00:45:48.280 like going to America

00:45:49.200 or even the UK.

00:45:50.220 It's very different.

00:45:51.360 Obviously,

00:45:51.740 the language is very different,

00:45:53.140 but I really felt like

00:45:54.020 I was in the presence

00:45:54.720 of a superior civilization.

00:45:56.680 It was so civilized.

00:45:57.980 It was so happy

00:45:59.300 and safe

00:46:00.160 and peaceful

00:46:01.360 and polite

00:46:02.400 and self-controlled.

00:46:05.100 And I could tell you

00:46:06.280 a hundred things

00:46:06.880 I loved about it,

00:46:07.800 but I could see

00:46:09.460 even the early signs

00:46:11.860 of immigration

00:46:12.620 corroding that.

00:46:13.600 And one of the great things

00:46:14.220 about Japan

00:46:14.740 is their high-trust society,

00:46:16.720 and that comes

00:46:17.440 from their homogeneity.

00:46:20.540 They don't have riots

00:46:21.920 in Japan.

00:46:23.240 They don't have,

00:46:24.720 I mean,

00:46:25.000 I'm not saying

00:46:25.460 it's a zero-theft country,

00:46:26.800 but it's pretty close to it.

00:46:28.380 And I see that recently

00:46:30.140 Japan has taken 0.99

00:46:31.260 a hard line

00:46:32.120 against immigration,

00:46:33.100 and that's one

00:46:33.800 of the policies

00:46:34.420 that caused 0.77

00:46:35.720 their new leader

00:46:36.420 to get a super-majority

00:46:37.880 government.

00:46:38.360 So I am very excited

00:46:39.760 about what Japan's doing.

00:46:41.980 Glenn Parr says,

00:46:42.840 all part of the insane

00:46:43.940 Mark Wiseman

00:46:45.040 sensory initiative.

00:46:46.600 You're so right,

00:46:47.280 that crazy sensory initiative

00:46:48.860 to bring a hundred million

00:46:50.260 people to Canada.

00:46:51.440 Of course,

00:46:51.900 they're coming

00:46:52.200 from the third world.

00:46:53.060 I mean,

00:46:53.220 you could fill Canada up

00:46:54.440 ten times over

00:46:55.740 with people

00:46:56.480 from Pakistan

00:46:57.240 and Indonesia

00:46:58.120 and Bangladesh.

00:46:59.740 It's not Canada anymore.

00:47:01.280 And by the way,

00:47:02.200 they're not going to live

00:47:02.860 in the vast expanse

00:47:03.860 of Canada,

00:47:04.480 which is Tundra.

00:47:05.760 They're all going

00:47:06.460 to Vancouver,

00:47:07.120 Montreal,

00:47:07.860 Calgary,

00:47:08.560 and Toronto.

00:47:10.060 I mean,

00:47:10.300 it would be

00:47:11.020 an unlivable city,

00:47:12.260 except for certain,

00:47:13.280 you know,

00:47:14.080 gated community enclaves.

00:47:15.480 And now the head

00:47:16.180 of the sensory initiative,

00:47:18.200 if I'm not mistaken,

00:47:18.940 he's our new ambassador

00:47:19.860 to the United States.

00:47:20.780 It's just madness.

00:47:21.440 Last letter from

00:47:23.040 Andrew McPherson,

00:47:24.580 CICE,

00:47:25.660 the Canadian ICE

00:47:26.740 is needed.

00:47:28.720 You're so right.

00:47:30.000 I mean,

00:47:30.360 I have put it to

00:47:31.220 Michelle Remble-Garner

00:47:32.860 a few times now,

00:47:34.280 would you be into

00:47:35.780 mass deporting

00:47:36.920 these overstayers?

00:47:38.180 And she says,

00:47:39.100 yes.

00:47:39.980 Okay,

00:47:40.360 well,

00:47:40.580 who's going to

00:47:41.040 physically do that?

00:47:41.980 You can cut people off

00:47:43.580 or try to

00:47:44.420 from their benefits

00:47:45.700 and that might cause

00:47:46.840 some to self-deport.

00:47:48.200 But let's get real.

00:47:49.120 You're going to have to

00:47:49.920 take a firm hand

00:47:51.740 and get people

00:47:52.740 out of this country.

00:47:53.580 I mean,

00:47:53.760 you're going to need

00:47:54.400 10 flights a day

00:47:56.440 for a year.

00:47:58.740 Does the Conservative Party,

00:48:00.000 do Canadians 0.98

00:48:00.540 have the stomach for that?

00:48:02.080 Maybe one day

00:48:02.600 we'll find out.

00:48:04.120 That's our show

00:48:04.740 for the day.

00:48:05.720 Until tomorrow,

00:48:06.640 on behalf of all of us

00:48:07.480 here at Rebel World

00:48:08.200 Headquarters

00:48:08.680 to you at home,

00:48:09.780 good night
