Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ German spy agency conceals truth on COVID lab leak... for five years

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. I'm going to take a bit of a break from talking about tariffs. I mean,

00:00:03.720 that story never stops, but I saw a crazy story out of Germany that says their spy agency knew

00:00:09.240 back in 2020 that the virus came from the lab leak in China. You weren't allowed to say that,

00:00:18.080 but they knew it for five years. I'll go through that, and then we'll talk to

00:00:21.380 Sam Cooper about the latest in Trudeau's awful, awful fundraising, friends. I'll get into it

00:00:29.980 with Sam. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to what we call Rebel News+. That's

00:00:50.680 Tonight, the German spy agency knew the coronavirus came from China as early as 2020. So why did they

00:01:02.840 keep it a secret? It's March 12th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:06.640 You're fighting for freedom!

00:01:09.880 Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.72

00:01:13.040 I'm going to take a bit of a break today from the daily drama over tariffs and taxes and all that.

00:01:27.140 I've been appearing on several U.S. shows every day trying to push a different agenda,

00:01:32.460 the U.S. and Canada getting closer, no tariffs, doing lots of business, being friends, not fighting

00:01:38.520 in a quarrelsome way. Alas, it's apparently not in Mark Carney's interest or the mainstream media's

00:01:43.720 interest. They see the value in fighting against Trump. I honestly don't think Trump realizes that

00:01:49.140 the Canadian government is negotiating in bad faith, that the Canadian government has a moral

00:01:53.800 hazard. The worse they can make things with Trump, the better their election chances are. I'm not sure

00:01:59.560 if Trump knows that. Anyways, I was on Dave Rubin's show today. It's a big show. I taped Ann Coulter's

00:02:05.860 show yesterday. That should be airing pretty soon. I'm, you know, doing as much Trump-adjacent

00:02:13.160 media as I can. I'm actually recording Charlie Kirk's show, if you've heard of him. My goal is

00:02:19.180 to get the ideas into Trump's circle. But let me talk about something else for today. I saw this

00:02:24.900 story today in various German media outlets. I'm going to quote from the Deutsche Welle, which is the

00:02:30.160 German state broadcaster, like their version of the CBC. Here's their story. Just so you know,

00:02:35.600 when I say BND, that's the German spy agency, sort of like Germany's CIA. So here's the story.

00:02:43.740 COVID pandemic likely unleashed by lab mishap, Germany's BND. Germany's spy agency thinks an

00:02:52.780 accident in a Chinese lab likely led to the COVID-19 pandemic, media saying. Evidence it collected 0.51

00:02:59.260 allegedly indicates negligence at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But that sort of hides the

00:03:08.000 news. Or as we say, it buries the lead. Because it's not really news in 2025, five years after the

00:03:16.000 crisis, to tell us this. What's actually the news here is not the facts about Wuhan. We already knew

00:03:21.860 that. The news here is that the BND knew this five years ago and kept it secret. That is the news.

00:03:31.080 Wouldn't you agree? Funny now, that's not in the headline. That's weird. It's very CBC-ish of them

00:03:38.480 to hide that from the headline. I'll read some more. Germany's foreign intelligence service, the BND,

00:03:45.020 concluded that the outbreak of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic in 2020 could well have

00:03:49.320 been triggered by an accident at a Chinese laboratory that does virus research, German media reported on

00:03:55.380 Wednesday. According to reports in the German papers Suddeutsche Zeitung and Zeit, the BND based

00:04:02.480 its conclusion on the analysis of material from the public domain and that it collected in the course

00:04:07.380 of an investigation with the codename Saarema. The material, some of which came from the Wuhan

00:04:13.200 Institute of Virology, located in the Chinese cities where the pandemic is believed to have started,

00:04:18.040 indicated that there had been some risky research methods used there, compounded by breaches of public

00:04:25.360 safety rules. The report said, the paper said there was evidence that Wuhan researchers carried out

00:04:32.100 so-called gain-of-function experiments in which viruses occurring in nature are manipulated. Such

00:04:39.860 research can cause changes in the way a virus causes illness, its transmissibility, and the types of

00:04:45.720 hosts it can infect. There were also indications there had been numerous violations of safety

00:04:51.360 regulations at the lab according to the reports. So there it is. Gain of function. You know what that

00:04:59.480 phrase means, right? It's when scientists on purpose try to mutate and weaponize viruses to make them worse,

00:05:08.000 to make them into weapons, into deadly, deadlier than they are. Let me read some more.

00:05:15.320 The BND reached its conclusions as early as 2020. The paper said, giving them a likelihood rating of 80% to 95%,

00:05:22.900 but the assessment was kept from the public at the time. Yeah, you don't say. Now you don't get any more certain than

00:05:29.780 80% to 95% about anything in life, do you? Especially about something complex like a pandemic.

00:05:34.860 80% to 95% certainty, and yet

00:05:36.980 they kept this a secret for years, not just a secret. The government

00:05:41.640 said the opposite. So they knew the truth.

00:05:45.380 They buried the truth, but that wasn't all they did. They said the lie,

00:05:49.340 knowing it was a lie, and we're only finding out now that they knew it was a lie.

00:05:53.220 We knew the truth years ago, didn't we?

00:05:55.320 Now we're just finding out that the government knew the truth and lied to us and tried to

00:05:59.760 gaslight us, as they say. Here's Deutsche Welle reporting that the FBI knew the truth, too.

00:06:08.300 They stopped keeping quiet about it in 2023, again, once the worst was over. And the CIA

00:06:14.740 admitted the same thing this January. The CIA says lab leak most likely source of COVID outbreak,

00:06:21.920 of course. But for years, not only were you mocked by every establishment journalist and denounced by

00:06:28.260 every public health expert and politician, but you were positively banned from publishing online that

00:06:35.280 COVID was a Chinese bioweapon. If you said that on YouTube, you would violate their community

00:06:41.360 guidelines and you could have your video canceled, your whole account could be struck. Same in Facebook,

00:06:46.240 same in every social media. You weren't even allowed, you know, I remember my book, China

00:06:51.780 Virus, it was suspended because it contradicted officials. What does that mean? If you said that

00:06:57.520 this was a Chinese bioweapon, you would be positively silenced. Now, these German and American spy agencies 0.96

00:07:03.440 are not quite saying that it was a bioweapon. They don't use that word, but they're saying,

00:07:09.160 using other words, they're saying it was a Chinese government lab that specialized in gain of

00:07:13.540 function. That's a bioweapon. So for years, you were not just mocked for speaking the truth, but

00:07:19.220 more than that, you were punished for saying the truth. And yet the government knew the whole time

00:07:24.300 that it was true. That's the meaning of today's German news. Their spy agency knew within weeks.

00:07:32.020 So never let them ever tell you what is true or not. Never let them have the conceit that they are

00:07:39.240 the arbiters of truth or not. That they have moral superiority over you. That they're better at

00:07:44.360 figuring out the world than you and your ability to divine what is true or not. And the worst of all

00:07:49.560 are those so-called fact checkers. Many of them with government contracts to silence dissidents.

00:07:54.840 Never trust them. Never forget what they did. Many of them are still in power. Many of them still

00:08:00.400 want to use that power over you. They're trying to silence you and censor you. Even now, do not forget that.

00:08:06.800 Stay with us more ahead.

00:08:07.920 You know, there's a saying, you might not be interested in politics, but politics is interested

00:08:21.780 in you. And I love that because it suggests that you are going to be involved one way or the other.

00:08:27.780 Do you want to be active or passive? And I think that applies, especially with foreign interference. 0.53

00:08:34.300 You may not want to think about what Iran is doing here in Canada or what the People's Republic of

00:08:39.900 China is doing. Or for that matter, other powers, both friendly and not so friendly. But Canada is a

00:08:46.340 prize to be won economically, politically, in terms of our resources. I mean, it pains us to quarrel with

00:08:54.480 our American cousins, but that shows that something valuable is here. And I mention that because,

00:08:59.600 as you heard me say the other day, I don't know if we were on guard enough for Chinese interest in the 1.00

00:09:06.620 liberal leadership race. There's a lot of news about China. And of course, we certainly don't want to

00:09:12.360 make the mistake of confusing a Chinese Canadian who is a loyal Canadian citizen who's just ethnically

00:09:18.500 Chinese or comes from China with an agent of the People's Republic of China. In fact, sometimes, as we've seen,

00:09:24.740 that the greatest democratic activists, the pro-Canada activists in Canada that are targeted

00:09:31.340 by the People's Republic of China are Chinese Canadians themselves. So we have to be careful, 0.93

00:09:36.600 we have to be thoughtful, but we have to be on guard. And someone who studies foreign interference 0.79

00:09:42.200 in Canada from China, Iran, and others is our special guest today. What a pleasure to have him come

00:09:47.600 back on the show. I'm talking about Sam Cooper, who is the journalist behind the investigative news site,

00:09:53.660 thebureau.news. And it really is a must-visit website. I don't say that about a lot of websites.

00:10:01.600 I say that about Black Locks, the Ottawa-based research journalists. And I say that about our

00:10:08.640 guest today. Sam Cooper, great to see you again. Thanks for joining us.

00:10:12.660 Thanks. Great to be back, Ezra.

00:10:14.400 Sam, I want to ask you one question about the liberal leadership race, and I just alluded to it.

00:10:18.980 What was so interesting in the leadership race is that Mark Carney, who I don't think a lot of

00:10:24.700 Canadians know very well. I mean, he was the head of our Bank of Canada, but that was decades ago.

00:10:29.520 And he's spent a lot of time overseas in London and New York. And we've never seen him in the House

00:10:35.920 of Commons because he's never been elected. And suddenly this guy goes from a private individual

00:10:40.380 who I don't even know how strong his connections are to Canada, to be frank.

00:10:43.940 And he's catapulted to prime minister all in an internal process by the Liberal Party that is done

00:10:52.520 online. It wasn't ballot boxes with paper and pencils and scrutineers. It was just done online.

00:11:00.600 And as we said in our program a few days ago, 400,000 people registered to vote, but only 150,000

00:11:08.960 were qualified to vote. And I just can't stop thinking, Sam, that that process could have been

00:11:15.860 susceptible to Chinese or Iranian or other influence. Imagine choosing a prime minister.

00:11:23.280 Forget about 11 backbench MPs. A prime minister. Sam, what do you think? And I know that we're in

00:11:29.000 the realm of speculation, so we don't want to go too far. But this thing has question marks all over,

00:11:34.600 at least to me. What do you think? Take it away. I would agree with you. Absolutely. I can break

00:11:40.320 down about three points. I mean, first of all, your concern that a prime minister could be chosen

00:11:46.560 effectively through foreign interference or at least significant influence, that came up in the

00:11:53.720 Hogue Commission. That came up in the testimony of MP Michael Chan. And in fact, I have the documents.

00:12:00.520 They didn't all, you know, they didn't all come out at the Hogue Commission, everything I know.

00:12:05.840 But documents did say that leadership campaigns are very susceptible to foreign interference. And

00:12:14.060 that is because the rules around leadership campaigns are not as rigorous. You don't have

00:12:19.240 Elections Canada overseeing it. It's up to the parties. And Ezra, you know, I know you saw,

00:12:25.640 as I did and many others noticed. There were two candidates rejected by the Liberal Party. We don't

00:12:32.160 exactly know why, but there were strong suggestions that potentially India or other nations could have

00:12:39.580 been interested in those candidates. Those candidates certainly didn't seem to agree. But what else mounted

00:12:47.300 was that it was overtly recognized, I suppose, due to my work that put the spotlight on Canada's

00:12:54.720 election threat monitor, they disclosed that Chrystia Freeland was the target of significant 0.99

00:13:00.740 disinformation or cyber attacks, rather reputational attacks on WeChat, which, as you know, was the

00:13:09.280 very same vector used to attack conservative MP Kenny Chu. And I said to you before, as I've said to

00:13:16.300 others, I, you know, why was Chrystia Freeland attacked? She took some very strong regulatory

00:13:22.320 measures against a bank that is connected allegedly to Chinese individuals related to the Chinese

00:13:29.480 state and money laundering. And Mark Carney, he wasn't attacked. And I, in my own open source

00:13:36.660 research, have recognized that he appears to be quite a favorite in Chinese media. So you have Chrystia

00:13:43.260 Freeland attacked in a Chinese media sort of vector. Mark Carney appears to be very supported. So

00:13:50.040 that tells you, where did those 200 or 300,000 extra membership votes go? That's a very live

00:13:57.380 question. I think we need to know more. Yeah. And there may be a perfectly legitimate

00:14:01.700 explanation. It might actually be an excellent explanation. Maybe they encountered some foreign

00:14:07.360 source who was a foreign computer trying to meddle. We should know about that. So maybe it was a success 0.99

00:14:13.480 to keep out 200,000 plus voters. But if we don't know anything about it, I think all we can do is

00:14:21.120 fill in the gaps with our own imagination. And as you say, it's not pure speculation because we know

00:14:26.540 from the past what has happened. And if China would go to the lengths they did to knock out individual

00:14:32.320 MPs or to install individual MPs, well, the prime minister is the greatest prize of all. I want to throw

00:14:38.120 one more thing at you. And again, we're in the realm of speculation because we don't have the

00:14:43.240 inside information. I looked at the results district by district. The Liberal Party was kind

00:14:48.780 enough to put meticulous data on their website, every single vote, all 150,000 of them. And then

00:14:56.320 they did the percentages. And I started going through it and I saw, wow, almost every district has not the

00:15:03.120 exact number of votes, but the percentage was, it didn't deviate much. What I'm saying is Mark Carney

00:15:08.880 got around 86% in every single district, in the north, in the south, in the east, in the west, in

00:15:15.680 French Canada, in English Canada, in the rural parts, in the urban parts. And obviously not the exact same

00:15:22.480 number, but it was astonishing to me. There was no variation. There was one riding, you know, where I think

00:15:29.720 he got a low of 75% and one where he was in the 90s. But everything, the bandwidth was so narrow.

00:15:37.640 And I thought, what are the odds of that? And then I looked at Chrystia Freeland's own district. And you'd

00:15:43.600 think if there would be any place in the country where she would do well, it would be in her own

00:15:47.480 district. Only 188 votes for her in her home riding. Same with Karina Gould. Only 190 votes. I'm not

00:15:56.520 talking percent. I'm talking total votes. And I tell you, Sam, I sound like I'm hollering into the

00:16:03.260 wind like a crazy person. I know it might sound that way. But one of the problems is I think you

00:16:08.500 would probably need Karina Gould or Chrystia Freeland to complain about it for any facts to come out.

00:16:16.200 Because I have no standing. You have no standing. Like you said, this is an internal party vote.

00:16:21.640 So it's not like Elections Canada could take a look. I feel like, and again, there may be perfectly

00:16:27.620 reasonable explanations for why Chrystia Freeland, after 10 years in politics, only got 180 votes in 1.00

00:16:33.460 her hometown. But boy, I mean, I tried to use AI to do some statistical analysis. And I'm not a

00:16:41.460 mathematician or statistician. But the answer I got on AI was that the results in Chrystia Freeland's

00:16:49.460 riding, well, I'll just say it, Grok, which I really put through the paces, that's an AI engine,

00:16:56.860 said it was a 2.7% chance that those numbers were the way they are. And they had the different

00:17:02.600 factors in there. Sam, I won't go on this tangent any longer, because we don't know the facts. I just

00:17:09.340 feel we sure need some reassurance here. I just feel like I've watched a bank robbery,

00:17:16.160 and no one rang the alarm, Sam. Well, I mean, that's some great data parsing. I haven't taken

00:17:22.880 that step myself. But if you see probabilistically, if you see, you know, the same percentages upwards

00:17:29.400 of 80 across the board, as you're saying, and I was struck by the lowness of Ms. Freeland's

00:17:36.720 overall totals. She's the one with years of experience and the name in politics. And on the

00:17:43.580 other hand, I'm just looking, you know, a pattern recognition, putting together Mr. Carney, as you

00:17:49.240 said, coming out of nowhere, with, of course, a great global reputation. But put that together

00:17:54.920 with the facts that it seemed that the Justin Trudeau's top aides just coagulated around Mr. Carney,

00:18:02.580 and it seemed ushered him towards that leadership. So you do, you know, with my investigative mind,

00:18:08.920 there are questions worth raising there. And those data points you raise, that only increases

00:18:14.700 sort of the, you know, the spidey sense is tingling a little bit, I'd say.

00:18:19.520 What I liked about the Grok response to me, that's that AI engine, is that it said, by the way,

00:18:25.040 there may be liberals who were punishing her for sort of detonating Justin Trudeau. And, you know,

00:18:30.980 maybe there was a bandwagon effect. So they, I felt like the AI was actually quite reasonable,

00:18:36.440 more reasonable than me, because I'm, I'm a bit of a critic. Anyways, I won't spend more time on

00:18:40.480 that subject. And I thank you for engaging with it. I think we're both a little bit in the dark,

00:18:45.280 because unless one of the four candidates were to make a fuss about it, I don't think the Liberal

00:18:51.220 Party would look into it. Can I add one more thing? Just you're, you're triggering something

00:18:57.500 in my mind, and others have raised it. There was a lot of, you know, mysteriousness around how it

00:19:03.560 appeared. Mark Carney had taken Chrystia Freeland's job, and it appeared even Mr. Trudeau himself was

00:19:12.780 stunned and shocked when, when that didn't happen. And then another set of events happened. Some have

00:19:19.700 commented, it looked like Mr. Trudeau in his speech, I think, in front of Rio Cottage, had the face of a

00:19:26.380 man that was betrayed. So I, again, I don't want to get into speculation. What I'm suggesting is there's

00:19:31.580 a lot of interesting pieces moving around. I do think it warrants certainly more investigative

00:19:37.320 probing or more commentary that we'd hear, that, than we'd hear out of the usual Ottawa

00:19:42.680 politicos. Yeah, it felt like an inside job. I mean, and remember, and I'm thinking again to the

00:19:49.360 case of Handong, where you had foreign nationals bust in, the Liberal Party rules, they quote,

00:19:54.840 tighten them up a bit, but even under their Titan rules, foreign nationals with permanent 0.94

00:19:59.660 residents were allowed to vote, and people as young as 14 years old. I mean, there's a lot of

00:20:05.820 questions there, but because we only have questions and no answers, I think it's best we, we move on to

00:20:11.240 your huge scoop, which I want to get to. But thanks very much for letting me bounce some ideas off you on

00:20:16.720 that. I just, I just can't get over how, it felt like I was watching someone flip a coin and get

00:20:24.020 heads a hundred times in a row. And I felt like saying that, that's not natural. And, and I don't

00:20:30.260 know, I feel like I'm shouting into the wind, but here, but let me get, let me switch gears. I thank

00:20:35.140 you for talking to me about those. And, and I think we both have to acknowledge we only have

00:20:39.220 a little bit of information. There may be a perfectly good explanation behind it, but I just,

00:20:44.420 I don't feel like giving the liberal party the benefit of the doubt. Let me, let me move on to

00:20:49.080 you, to your big scoop, and I've got it in my hand here, and folks can read this on your website,

00:20:54.040 thebureau.news. Headline, exclusive Chinese narco suspect caught in private meeting with Trudeau,

00:21:03.760 investigated by the DEA, that's the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, linked to Panama, Caribbean,

00:21:09.220 Mexico, says police sources. And I'm just going to read the first sentence, and then I'd love it if

00:21:14.220 you took it away. Shocking new details are emerging about a major Chinese organized crime suspect

00:21:18.720 who met privately with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to a police source who

00:21:23.880 confirmed recent reporting from the Globe and Mail. The individual, Paul King Jin, is allegedly

00:21:29.260 implicated in money laundering operations spanning the Western Hemisphere, and has been a target of

00:21:35.100 multiple failed major investigations in B.C. Sort of incredible that we're only hearing about this

00:21:42.320 now that Trudeau's gone. What do you think, Sam?

00:21:46.820 Well, I mean, it is incredible that we're only hearing that detail after Mr. Trudeau was at the

00:21:53.380 door or out the door. But Ezra, you know, that type of meeting was the subject of my book,

00:21:59.620 Willful Blindness, published in 2021. And so I was, you know, I would say the journalistic subject matter

00:22:08.440 expert on the poster boy of Chinese fentanyl money laundering networks, Mr. Paul King Jin,

00:22:16.860 this alleged narco that I didn't know was captured in RCMP surveillance in a private meeting with Mr.

00:22:25.940 Trudeau. However, that's a great detail. Kudos to the Globe and Mail for picking that up. And so I built

00:22:32.440 upon that story. I went back to a source and said, yes, indeed, they were aware that this surveillance

00:22:38.420 found Mr. Trudeau there. But what I did know, Ezra, was that I have reported for years that

00:22:45.200 another individual in that private meeting is a senior former People's Liberation Army official.

00:22:52.860 I know you know something about PLA officers coming to Canada and the concerns that raises.

00:23:00.740 Well, look, even if you're a former PLA officer, CSIS will track you in Canada, the RCMP will track

00:23:06.620 you. And so I knew that this extremely powerful, wealthy PLA veteran is believed, and I'm not going

00:23:14.280 to name the name the name in this broadcast, but is believed by Canadian police intelligence to be

00:23:21.740 involved in sort of security networks tied to Beijing that are involved in interoperability with Chinese

00:23:30.260 organized crime. And again, let's focus on Mr. Jin. My information, which I added in this story, is that

00:23:38.300 he's a frequent flyer. He's going down to Mexico. He's going down to Panama, which, as you know,

00:23:44.280 Panama is of great concern to the U.S. government for Chinese influence, alleged Chinese illicit

00:23:50.400 financial activity. This man, Paul King Jin, involved in alleged human trafficking, sexual

00:23:57.080 prostitution, you know, activities in a hotel in Richmond, not specifically this hotel. But what I

00:24:06.080 want to say is, again, let's talk about the questions surrounding a proven fact that Mr. Trudeau,

00:24:11.980 for a reason that we don't know, is in a private conference room with what Canadian and U.S. law

00:24:21.380 enforcement believe is an extremely important figure in Western Hemisphere money laundering,

00:24:28.680 drug fentanyl, commodities trading, and that there are other apparently very politically connected

00:24:36.760 individuals in that room. And so what did, why was Mr. Trudeau there? I've never heard, you know,

00:24:43.040 when I, I'll tell you this, I asked previously the Prime Minister's office why this People's Liberation

00:24:49.920 Army veteran who was in that room with Mr. Jin and Mr. Trudeau donated to Justin Trudeau. And all I got

00:24:58.040 back was what I would call boilerplate, the PMO saying, we follow all Elections Canada donation rules.

00:25:03.660 Yeah. Boy, you know, it's, there's so many things that I, it's interesting that this is only coming

00:25:11.440 out now. I wonder what else will come out and what else will never come out. I feel like the RCMP

00:25:19.600 had a lack of curiosity during Trudeau's term. I mean, a few things come to mind, for example,

00:25:25.380 the SNC-Lavalin matter, where they put so much pressure on the Justice Minister of the day,

00:25:31.880 Jody Wilson-Raybould not to prosecute their buddies at SNC-Lavalin that she quit over it or she was

00:25:37.520 fired. And we never heard from the RCMP on that or a half dozen other similar matters where the RCMP

00:25:48.020 just sort of shrugged. And, and again, that may be because there was no fire under that smoke. But I,

00:25:54.540 I just feel like maybe we don't have the same checks and balances that they do in the U.S.,

00:26:00.120 for example. I, I don't know. I'm, and I don't want to just be speaking through my partisanship

00:26:05.140 because I'm obviously a critic of Trudeau. So it's not like I want all my enemies to be

00:26:10.120 investigated and all my friends not to be. But boy, what you talk about here, I suppose there's

00:26:15.800 nothing wrong with a meeting. And if the election donation laws were followed, I suppose that's

00:26:22.440 fine. But my God, it stinks, doesn't it? Holy mackerel.

00:26:27.200 It stinks a lot. And Ezra, I can tell you, because I have the capacity to talk to law enforcement

00:26:32.980 experts in Canada and the United States at a high level. Look, again, I'm, I'm not specifically a

00:26:39.960 critic of Mr. Trudeau, but I can tell you with a hundred percent confidence, my sources, and I've

00:26:45.740 now quoted them, say that the, there are more than one meetings of Mr. Trudeau with known Chinese

00:26:53.220 organized crime suspects. And these come in the context of political donations meetings.

00:26:59.900 Paraphrasing from memory, one of the quotes in my recent stories, a Canadian policing expert said,

00:27:05.940 look, he is not, or they are not accusing Mr. Trudeau of corruption, but we would have to be

00:27:12.440 naive to, to think that people of extreme wealth, so in the billion dollar range and connected to

00:27:19.160 Chinese organized crime would not be seeking influence with a Canadian leader. So why do these

00:27:25.180 meetings continue? And Ezra, I'll tell you one more thing. Look, two data points. Again, one of my

00:27:30.460 sources in a recent story said there was a Fintrack study, you know, Fintrack, the Canadian financial

00:27:37.060 watchdog, 900 million transacted from a Hong Kong currency exchange into Canadian banks. And they,

00:27:46.500 that is my police sources knew a number of suspects involved were seen in meetings with Mr. Trudeau.

00:27:53.460 Again, these are suspects that are related to China. They are related to CSIS investigations,

00:27:59.540 RCMP organized crime investigations. And my last point is, again, in that Hogue commission,

00:28:05.920 where some things much like a whale, maybe they, they touched the surface, but we don't see the

00:28:10.780 whole thing. The RCMP admitted for some reason, they, we heard about a money laundering investigation,

00:28:18.780 which was believed to connect to Chinese state activity. The RCMP said they didn't pursue it because

00:28:25.220 essentially there are so many money laundering networks and, and, and investigations. Their

00:28:31.600 answer was they didn't think they'd make an impact looking into it, which again, if we're talking about,

00:28:37.840 you know, that doesn't prove anything, but it looks a little bit smoky in, in my view.

00:28:42.600 Yeah. You know, I, I just compare the reaction by the Canadian government to China putting a 100%

00:28:49.220 tariff on Canadian canola. I don't hear any squawking, let alone countervailing tariffs. And I,

00:28:54.660 and I think over the years, Canada has been pretty lenient on China, even when they had two Canadian

00:29:01.220 hostages. I don't know. I, and I, I just, I feel like foreign influence in this country, as I started

00:29:09.980 the show, I mean, you may not think about it, but it sure thinks about you. And I'm glad you're out

00:29:14.700 there, Sam. And I want to thank you for spending the time and thanks for letting me throw you the

00:29:18.340 curve ball of those election results. I just, I'm running them through my brain and I just can't

00:29:23.380 make sense of them. And I'm, and I'm glad that you weighed in as far as you could. Sam, thank you for

00:29:28.460 joining us, folks. If you're not reading it, you got to, you got to start going to thebureau.news.

00:29:34.940 You will see some of Sam's work percolate into the mainstream. So I'm glad that he has

00:29:39.480 the ear of, of, of a lot of people, but I think it behooves you to brief yourself on what he's up

00:29:46.240 to in his investigations. And we're so grateful to you, Sam. Thanks for taking the time.

00:29:50.640 Great to be here, Reza.

00:29:51.580 Right on. Thank you. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:29:54.120 Hey, welcome back. Your letters to me on Doug Ford and the tariff war. Jesus Christ 7120,

00:30:12.440 I'm not sure if that's a real name, says,

00:30:14.780 Premiers have no authority to impose any tariffs on a sovereign country. Their jurisdiction is only

00:30:20.260 provincial. What the heck is going on in Canada these days? High taxes, provincial trade,

00:30:24.100 bans, no job opportunities, back and forth with America. Yeah, I don't like it one bit. Obviously,

00:30:29.780 I don't want Canada being roughed up by anyone, including Donald Trump. But boy, oh boy, is the

00:30:36.000 Canadian side so obviously just trying to make a big fight out of this. John Douglas says,

00:30:42.140 No thanks for Ford telling Alberta what to do. As a politician, he's doing a terrible job.

00:30:47.760 Yeah, could you imagine if Alberta said, Hey, Ontario, take one for the team. And to punish America, 0.99

00:30:53.240 don't sell them any cars or some weird thing like that, it would just be so outrageous. But then

00:30:58.200 again, have you seen any media or government or establishment people call out China for their

00:31:04.320 100% tariffs on Canadian canola? John Doe says, The real reason is why is Parliament still prorogued?

00:31:11.100 Do the Liberals need the Conservative premiers to do their job for them? Or is the trade war not

00:31:15.060 important enough for Carney because they're still trying to figure out how to remove the carbon

00:31:18.820 rebate while increasing the carbon price on 10 out of 10 households? Yeah. You know what,

00:31:23.780 we are in a democratic lacuna, if I'm using that word right. It's so funny how the left accuses the

00:31:31.860 right, including Donald Trump, including, you know, any conservative premier or prime minister being

00:31:36.260 fascist and anti-democratic. We are existing in a democratic nullity. Our parliament has been

00:31:44.440 dissolved. It has not been recalled. I do not trust the method by which Mark Carney was selected. I want

00:31:50.320 to know where the quarter million rejected votes are. And I'm sorry, I don't believe the statistical

00:31:55.120 likelihood of Mark Carney getting pretty much the same vote in every single district, French or English,

00:32:01.400 North or South, rural or urban, you know, right wing, left wing, whatever, including in the riding of

00:32:08.520 University of Rose Hill. I'm sorry, I don't like Chrystia Freeland much, but I do not believe that after 10 years in

00:32:13.840 politics, she only got 188 votes in her entire district over over 100,000 people. I don't believe

00:32:20.660 that. And I don't think you do too. But that is the democracy we're in. Mark Carney was just

00:32:25.940 installed. He was just selected, injected. It is a soft coup, certainly not democratic. And the fact

00:32:35.080 that they haven't recalled parliament is even worse. My friends, that's the show for tonight. Until

00:32:40.000 tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night. And keep fighting

00:32:44.740 for freedom.

00:32:46.060 teamwork for you.
