Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜＂Global Boiling＂ The Newest Fear Campaign

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. You know, there's a new fear campaign dropping, very exciting.

00:00:04.660 COVID worked pretty well for a few years, but now there's a new one. They call it,

00:00:08.180 get this, global boiling. And they say it with a straight face. Oh my God, I'll take you through

00:00:14.860 it. I'll show you the video of the United Nations Secretary General talking about it. He only flies

00:00:21.000 on private jets that are air conditioned, so don't worry about him. I want you to see some

00:00:26.780 of the visual things we're going to show you. So do me a favor and go to rebelnewsplus.com.

00:00:31.560 That's the video version of this podcast. It's eight bucks a month. And I know that's not a ton

00:00:46.540 never will. So please go to rebelnewsplus.com and click subscribe. All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:51.560 Tonight, COVID was terrifying, but it's done. So a new fear campaign just dropped. I'll give you

00:00:58.820 the latest about the new ad slogan you're going to be hearing every day, global boiling. It's July

00:01:05.380 28th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show. Shame on you, you sensorism bug.

00:01:21.560 They say love is the most powerful force in the world, and I believe it. Love for your family,

00:01:28.980 love for your children, love for your country. Think of how dangerous it is to come between a 0.85

00:01:33.360 mama grizzly bear and her cubs. That's love. But fear is a relative of love. The mama grizzly's love

00:01:41.640 transforms to fear for her cub's safety. That's why she gets so utterly dangerous if you come between 0.79

00:01:47.920 them. Love and fear are cousins in that way. Humans are hardwired for fear also. It's the

00:01:54.240 fight-or-flight response, the adrenaline, the explosive power to run away from a wild animal

00:02:00.280 or to fight in the moment. Fear of things isn't a weakness. It's actually a strength. It's what saved

00:02:07.760 us for hundreds of generations. Fear of the dark, fear of wild animals, fear of strangers. It's an

00:02:15.080 evolutionary strategy. You can be too afraid in life, or you can be not afraid enough. Which of

00:02:22.580 those two errors is more likely to result in you being eaten by wild animals or robbed by highwaymen?

00:02:30.280 Fear, and its relief, the safety of the herd, explains a lot of human nature and explains a lot

00:02:36.480 of political nature, and it explains how we were so easily manipulated and controlled during the COVID-19

00:02:43.900 pandemic. It was fear. Fear of the virus that was revved up. The images on TV. I saw this video

00:02:52.620 from China very early on. It looked scary to me. It worked on me, and I think I'm cynical and savvy. 1.00

00:03:00.220 Lots of videos from China looked scary in those early days. I think that was a kind of psy-op, 0.63

00:03:05.500 a psychological operation against the world, really. Fear, fear of the virus, and then

00:03:11.180 fear of those who were not afraid of the virus. Remember this?

00:03:16.700 If you don't want to get vaccinated, that's your choice. But don't think you can get on a plane

00:03:22.140 or a train beside vaccinated people.

00:03:24.680 And now is the time for people who are still resistant to getting vaccinated to realize

00:03:34.100 that that choice, which has consequences on putting our kids at risk, which has consequences

00:03:42.180 at having us risk more lockdowns because they haven't chosen to get vaccinated yet,

00:03:50.420 that there will be consequences for those people in not being able to go to a gym or a restaurant,

00:03:57.940 not being able to go to a movie theater, not being able to get on a train or a plane.

00:04:02.260 I want to stand up for the choice of those who are there for their neighbors,

00:04:08.980 not those who are risking us all going into further lockdowns of slowing our economic recovery.

00:04:15.780 Trying to bring people together

00:04:20.740 is not always compatible with science, with respect for human rights, with the best way to move things

00:04:30.020 forward. I mean, when Aaron O'Toole talks about, oh, yes, we need to unite people, we need to bring people together.

00:04:36.180 He's talking about defending the rights of people who are anti-vax.

00:04:42.260 That's why we've been unequivocal. If you want to get on a plane or a train in the coming months,

00:04:48.740 you're going to have to be fully vaccinated. So families with their kids don't have to worry

00:04:54.020 that someone is going to put them in danger in the seat next to them or across the aisle.

00:04:59.620 Unfortunate that people who chose not to get vaccinated are now the ones clogging up our ICU

00:05:07.940 systems and our hospital beds that should be available for people who did their work and did

00:05:15.380 get vaccinated, making sure that businesses that choose to move forward with vaccination requirements

00:05:23.220 aren't subject to unnecessary or unjustified lawsuits. If you make a choice, a personal choice,

00:05:30.420 to not get vaccinated, then I will have no sympathy for you when you come to me and said,

00:05:37.140 oh, but I can't go out to a restaurant with my friends, or I'm not being allowed to go to the gym,

00:05:42.180 or my employer is telling me I have to continue to work from home.

00:05:47.940 You don't have a right to endanger others. Those people are putting us all at risk.

00:05:56.020 Fear is what manipulated us. Fear is what made us put on masks, which is unnatural. Fear is what

00:06:02.340 made us agree to close our businesses and schools and churches, even lock out our own families,

00:06:07.060 even shut down weddings and funerals. It was fear, first fear of the disease,

00:06:11.140 and then fear of what the government would do to us if we didn't comply. They manipulated us. That's not

00:06:17.140 a controversial thing to say now, now that so much of the truth has come out. I'll just give you one

00:06:23.220 small example. Here's the British health minister at the time, Matt Hancock. His WhatsApp messages

00:06:31.540 were leaked to the press. Matt Hancock wanted to frighten everyone into following COVID rules.

00:06:36.980 Now, this is an article from the Guardian newspaper. Latest batch of WhatsApp messages revealed

00:06:44.020 discussions over when to deploy details of a new strain. Let me read a little bit. This is a crazy

00:06:49.780 story. Matt Hancock told aides he wanted to frighten the pants off everyone to ensure compliance with

00:06:56.660 COVID-19 restrictions, according to the latest batch of leaked messages which revealed discussions over

00:07:01.780 when to deploy details of a new strain. The WhatsApp exchanges suggest the then health secretary and

00:07:09.380 others discussed how to use an announcement about the Kent variant of the virus to scare the public

00:07:15.300 into changing their behavior. The messages published in the Sunday Telegraph show that cabinet secretary

00:07:20.260 Simon Case suggested in January 2021 that the fear factor would be vital in stopping the spread of the

00:07:26.820 virus. It goes on. And it worked. But it's not working anymore, obviously. I mean, it worked for nearly

00:07:33.700 three years. Give it credit. It worked. I saw this tweet from Mark Garneau, the former liberal,

00:07:40.660 just two days ago. And it seemed like it was from an earlier era. He literally got a booster shot this week.

00:07:47.940 Who does that? How out of fashion he is. That's so 2022. Doesn't he know the new scare isn't COVID?

00:07:57.060 People don't get scared of that anymore. There's a new fear campaign that's dropping.

00:08:02.660 Here, let me show you how scary it is. And of course, it's from the United Nations. You know,

00:08:06.740 the World Health Organization is an agency of the UN. It did a great job. Now it's the climate agency of

00:08:13.700 the United Nations. Here, take a listen to the secretary general. The era of global warming has

00:08:18.820 ended. The era of global boiling has arrived. The air is unbreathable. The heat is unbearable.

00:08:29.060 And the level of fossil fuel profits and climate in action is unacceptable. According to the data

00:08:35.060 released today, July has already seen the hottest three week period ever recorded,

00:08:40.660 the three hottest days on record and the highest ever ocean temperatures for this time of year.

00:08:47.460 The consequences are clear and they are tragic. Children swept away by monsoon rains,

00:08:54.500 families running from the flames, workers collapsing in scorching heat. Leaders must lead. No more hesitancy,

00:09:05.060 no more excuses, no more waiting for the others to move first. There is simply no more time for that.

00:09:13.300 The earth is unbreathable. Really? Fossil fuel profits are unacceptable. Really? Families are running

00:09:20.500 from flames because of global warming. Oh, excuse me, global boiling. There's no hesitancy, no waiting for

00:09:29.140 others. We've got to act, eh? You know that China is by far the largest demand of greenhouse gases in

00:09:34.900 the world, right? I mean, by far. Is he talking about China? You know that guy, Antonio Guterres. He, he,

00:09:42.660 he's the secretary general of the UN. He only flies in private jets. He doesn't fly commercial.

00:09:47.540 Is he going to stop or is he hesitating? How about the United Nations? You know, they love to meet in New

00:09:52.340 York and Geneva and Berlin and the world's most amazing cities. Are they going to stop traveling

00:09:59.060 and switch to Zoom like you and I would? I'm kidding. Of course not. But the big boss laid out

00:10:05.060 the fear agenda. And so it's being repeated now like a new script. For a while there, the script was

00:10:10.980 build back better. Remember that? That all of a sudden, Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden and

00:10:15.860 every leader around the world was using that same phrase. Remember that campaign?

00:10:19.620 It's a very pertinent question to ask how do we build back better?

00:10:24.980 To build back better or whatever. We have a chance to reset the clock

00:10:29.060 and build back better than before. To build back better than before.

00:10:33.780 Remember the terrible damage of COVID as we try to build back from this global pandemic.

00:10:40.340 Joe Biden calls it build back better. Build back better. Building back better.

00:10:46.900 To do things differently. To build back better.

00:10:51.460 We're going to build it back better. And build it back better.

00:10:56.660 My plan to build back better. Start taking all the problems that have been created in education and

00:11:04.180 mental health and start to build back in a positive way.

00:11:08.340 I have launched a book called Build Back Better. Britain after coronavirus.

00:11:16.420 It's about building this country back better.

00:11:19.940 A growing conspiracy following it. It is called The Great Reset.

00:11:24.740 An unprecedented opportunity to rethink and reset the ways in which we live.

00:11:31.220 The great opportunity for reset. The theory even calls Mr. Biden's campaign slogan Build Back Better,

00:11:39.700 a front for the conspiracy. Build back better. Building back better our economy. Build back better.

00:11:50.420 All elements of the Great Reset are fundamental to building the future we need.

00:11:55.700 This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset.

00:12:01.780 It's a big effort to, some would say, to build back better. We would say to really have a great reset.

00:12:10.820 Conspiracy. Conspiracy. Conspiracy.

00:12:14.820 Yeah, well, you've got to keep up. The new campaign is called Global Boiling.

00:12:20.260 Here's the front page of Canada's largest newspaper, the Toronto Star. Seriously, that is not news.

00:12:26.100 That's an ad. But for whom? The United Nations, I guess, or some other lobby group.

00:12:33.300 Hey, look at this. I don't know if you remember the Tides Foundation. They renamed themselves Makeway.

00:12:38.820 But they actually struck a deal with the Toronto Star. Here's, let me read it for you.

00:12:44.260 Tides Canada partners with the Toronto Star for climate and economy series.

00:12:49.540 They literally pay. They pay the Toronto Star to place climate propaganda in the newspaper.

00:12:57.060 But why shouldn't they? I mean, Trudeau does. In recent weeks, we've seen all sorts of

00:13:02.020 propaganda about how hot it is. Here was one incredible story about 42 degrees Celsius.

00:13:07.300 That's super hot. But an actual thermometer in that same image shows it was 32 degrees. 32 is hot.

00:13:14.660 But that summertime wasn't 42. That's a lie. The fires in Greece were global boiling.

00:13:21.620 No, actually, they were caused by arson. In fact, they caught one of the arsonists on a drone

00:13:28.500 in Canada started by arson or by human mistakes, not putting out campfires.

00:13:32.980 There are parts of the world that are really hot and other parts that are really cold. A new cold

00:13:38.900 record in Antarctica. I don't know if that's global boiling, but you know, it all fits in the universal

00:13:45.620 theory. Have you ever noticed that the largest cities in the world, and I don't just mean million

00:13:51.300 person cities, I mean like all the cities that are 5 million, 10 million, the 20 million person cities,

00:13:58.980 they're all in the tropics. There are a few people who live in the far north and the deep,

00:14:04.740 deep, deep south, but not in the million. The massive cities like Cairo and Mumbai and Dhaka and Tokyo,

00:14:15.940 they're in the tropics. Warmth is good for life, human life and plant life and animal life. The

00:14:22.980 diversity of species in the tropics is stunning. Very few things live in the far north. Warmth is

00:14:29.540 actually good for things. No, it's not boiling. It's just summertime. So why? What's the point?

00:14:36.100 Besides keeping you scared and compliant, maybe there'll be a climate lockdown. Well, there's a war

00:14:42.420 on energy and a war on food. They need to keep you scared to make sure that you don't do those things,

00:14:48.660 don't use those things. You know what the World Economic Forum says? You'll own nothing and you'll

00:14:55.780 be happy. They actually said that, but it's pretty hard to find it online. If you Google,

00:15:01.780 you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. The first dozen items that come up are fact checks claiming

00:15:08.980 they never really meant that. Here's the Reuters fact check. No, no, they didn't actually mean it.

00:15:15.380 Here's the Globe and Mail with a fact check. No, no. That's misinformation. It's very hard to find it.

00:15:23.380 Here's Dr. Eli David on Twitter. He says that you'll own nothing and you'll be happy, but that's

00:15:31.140 actually changed now. You'll own nothing and you still won't be happy. You'll own nothing and you'll

00:15:38.500 be happy. That was the last message. The new message is psychologists say a good life doesn't

00:15:46.180 have to be happy or even meaningful. Here's another version. Again, this is the World Economic Forum.

00:15:52.260 Why true happiness isn't about being happy all the time. That's very hard to find online too. They say

00:16:01.220 these things and when they go viral, they delete them and fact check them, but you can find them on

00:16:06.260 the internet archive. You know, I'll believe that there's a crisis. I'll believe the world is boiling

00:16:14.660 when the world's elites start acting like it is. When Antonio Guterres has his meetings by Zoom,

00:16:21.780 stops flying private. When the climate gurus stop flying on their private jets. I'll believe it then

00:16:29.220 and not one minute earlier. And no, it's hot out, but that's called summer. It ain't boiling.

00:16:36.020 Stay with us for more with Lone Gunter.

00:16:47.300 Hi there and welcome back. You know, earlier this week, I was in Lethbridge, Alberta, where I was

00:16:51.380 attending pre-trial hearings. The matter of four men who were arrested at the Coutts border blockade,

00:16:59.220 during the lockdowns. This was the western leg of the trucker convoy. These four men were charged

00:17:06.020 with very serious offenses though, not the mischief and other civil disobedience offenses that the

00:17:11.860 likes of Arthur Pavlovsky or Tamara Leach were charged. These four men were charged with conspiracy

00:17:17.460 to commit murder. And because it's such a serious crime that they have been accused of, the judge in

00:17:23.620 that case, refused to give them bail. And so they have been in the Calgary Remand Center, a high

00:17:29.460 security facility, for more than 500 days. And the trial is almost a year away. They will be in jail for

00:17:38.100 nearly three years. So yeah, almost three years by the time the matter goes to trial. There are two main

00:17:48.740 tests for whether or not someone gets bail. The first is, are they a flight risk? Will they run away?

00:17:53.700 Or will they indeed come back to court? And the second is, are they a danger in the community? And

00:17:58.820 it's on that ground that the four Coutts men have been detained in prison. I'm not quite sure

00:18:03.940 how dangerous they were. But I contrast that treatment and the lengthy detention without bail of

00:18:11.460 both Arthur Pavlovsky and Tamara Leach with the revolving door approach to bail given to

00:18:17.780 violent criminals in Canada. Criminals about which there is no whiff of conservative politics. I

00:18:23.060 referred the other day to the case of a convicted terrorist in Canada who was convicted, served her

00:18:28.580 time, got out again, was charged again with terrorism offenses, out on bail. How can these things be under

00:18:35.540 the same law? Well, a new article by Lauren Gunter makes it even starker. The headline is,

00:18:41.540 liberal bail reforms directly tied to soaring violent crime rates under the Trudeau government

00:18:48.340 and it's all the poor dears approach to crime. The overall severity of crime has also risen

00:18:54.980 by nearly 40%. That's his article in the Emerson Sun. And Lauren Gunter joins us now. Lauren,

00:18:59.700 great to see you again. I'm not trying to compare the Coutts four with these violent people, but I

00:19:06.660 suppose bail is bail and the tests ought to be the same or similar. Maybe I'm making too much of the

00:19:13.380 political difference here, but the violent criminals who are all stabby, they're being let out on the

00:19:18.660 streets, aren't they? Yeah. And we had a, we had a case here in early July where a father of seven,

00:19:25.140 uh, uh, Rukanesha Nakinda Botwer, uh, was stabbed to death by a random individual at an LRT station.

00:19:33.780 So at a subway station basically, and, uh, unprovoked, no apparent reason for it. But the, the gentleman

00:19:41.860 who's been charged with the murder was out on bail at the time. He has a long history of violent

00:19:48.820 convictions, not, not violent, not arrests or suspicion of violent behavior, but a long history,

00:19:56.340 a long conviction history of, of violence and, uh, was released because since 2018, when the

00:20:03.940 liberals passed their bail reform, it's become very, very difficult for judges to find a reason

00:20:09.860 to keep someone in jail awaiting trial. This is a combination of the liberal law and a thing called

00:20:15.780 the Jordan, uh, decision in, in the Supreme Court, which said it really is unheard of. It really is

00:20:24.340 unfair to keep someone in jail for more than two years awaiting trial, because then you've basically

00:20:30.420 given them the sentence without having had a hearing. Um, and so those two things conspired to,

00:20:36.500 to make it virtually impossible now for judges to keep anyone in jail awaiting their trial. And so we have,

00:20:45.860 lots and lots and lots of people on the street who have violent criminal histories who are awaiting

00:20:52.740 trial and who have proven by their, by their pre their previous actions that they are a threat to

00:20:59.060 the community, but the liberal law doesn't make it that big a deal to be a threat to the community.

00:21:05.380 Like give you two, just quick stats here, uh, very related in Calgary and Edmonton in the last three

00:21:13.060 years, between 40 and 50% of people charged with murder were either out on bail at the time they

00:21:22.260 were charged or on early release from their prison sentences. Cause that's the other half of what the

00:21:28.420 liberals did in 2018 was they made it much harder to keep someone in jail for beyond one sixth of

00:21:36.180 their sentence. Uh, so, you know, if you're, if you're charged and you're, you're, you're sentenced

00:21:42.020 to a couple of years in jail, it's very hard for the, the prison system to keep you in jail longer than

00:21:48.100 three months. Uh, and so you have a lot of people not reformed. They, they haven't, I mean, you and

00:21:54.900 I probably have some doubt about the validity, the, the usefulness of prison psychological, uh,

00:22:01.700 training or psychological therapy, but there's no chance that they've even gone through any of that.

00:22:06.900 And now all of a sudden they're out on the street again. So is it any wonder that the murder rate is

00:22:12.500 up in Canada since the liberals took over by about 40%? Uh, is it any wonder that the rape, uh, rate

00:22:20.180 in Canada has doubled since the, since the liberals took over? People are not sent to jail very often.

00:22:26.580 And when they are, they're not kept there very long. That's, that's the simple just of it.

00:22:30.420 Hmm. You know, really until Trudeau took office, the rate of crime and the rate of violent

00:22:36.580 crime was on a slow, steady decline. There's a lot of reasons for that. One was demographics.

00:22:41.380 The population as a whole was getting slightly older. And of course, crime is a young man's game, 1.00

00:22:47.060 both in terms of perpetrators and victims. But to see that come undone is, is shocking. I mean,

00:22:52.980 it's really the same thing in New York city, that city almost single-handedly was responsible for

00:22:58.580 lowering the American crime rate. It was so criminal in 1970s, but then Rudy Giuliani really

00:23:05.780 made it the safest big city in America. And just that statistically changed the whole country. But

00:23:11.620 then you had these woke mayors coming in and saying, well, we're not going to prosecute. I mean,

00:23:16.980 in San Francisco, they're not going to prosecute theft under $950. You know, you have corporations

00:23:25.460 firing staff who dare to try and stop shoplifters. The staff want to stop it. They feel a moral

00:23:30.580 repugnance. The companies fire them and call them racist or whatnot. Shops are closing in San

00:23:37.380 Francisco. And I don't think it'll be long before they start closing in some neighborhoods in Canada.

00:23:42.340 Let me ask you this, Lauren.

00:23:43.540 Several major hoteliers have moved out of downtown San Francisco, three that I can think of,

00:23:49.220 because it's simply become too dangerous for their guests to walk around in the downtown area. And so

00:23:58.820 guests are staying away. And so the hoteliers have pulled out. I mean, that's what happens when you

00:24:04.660 follow these ridiculous, progressive notions about what will stop crime. And you have to recall that, 0.68

00:24:11.620 you know, you and I have talked before about how often experts turn out to be wrong. They were wrong

00:24:17.860 about a lot of the pandemic countermeasures, for instance. They are terribly wrong in this case,

00:24:24.020 and we're seeing the evidence of it. So all of these liberal reforms were based on what experts told

00:24:30.420 them. The best way to stop crime is to reintegrate the potential criminals into society as quickly as

00:24:38.180 possible. No, you're releasing them. You're releasing the people who have shown themselves to be

00:24:43.060 the most likely to commit crime. You're releasing those people into the general population. What in

00:24:48.740 heaven's name do you think is going to happen? Yeah. And by the way, I know you've studied this

00:24:53.540 too, but for years, people have been concerned about what they phrase missing and murdered indigenous

00:25:00.260 women. Where, who killed these women? What happened to them? Well, the RCMP actually has a very high

00:25:06.260 rate of solving those crimes. So it's actually not a mystery about 85% solving, but the same as for

00:25:12.420 white victims. And the answer is, and it's a terrible answer, which is why you don't hear the

00:25:17.780 answer, but the RCMP themselves published it. Most of the women who are violently assaulted or killed

00:25:25.220 are victims of people they knew who had done it to them before. In many cases, a family member or a

00:25:33.300 boyfriend and the bail, you talked about how bail is so easy. It's even easier. And, and sentences are

00:25:41.460 even more lenient. If there's an indigenous element to it, you get almost a racial discount. And this is

00:25:47.380 done in the name of being progressive and healing. But if the primary victims of these indigenous men on 0.58

00:25:54.980 reserves are indigenous women on reserves, you are sending the violent man right back into the 1.00

00:26:02.740 household where he already attacked the woman. That's a shocking fact to hear, but it's the fact.

00:26:08.580 And so the white judge feels very noble, but he just sentenced another indigenous woman to be killed.

00:26:15.380 Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I think there's, I think there's a lot of merit in what you say there. 0.96

00:26:19.300 I mean, the James Lake, uh, uh, Cree Nation, multiple killings, the stabbings last year

00:26:26.260 were, were perpetrated by someone who had been under mandatory early release from prison in part

00:26:33.300 because of what they called the glad you principle, which is where you judges have to discount the

00:26:39.140 sentence, uh, of, of indigenous, uh, criminals, uh, because they're indigenous. It's, it's presumed that 0.87

00:26:46.180 they had a harder upbringing than, than non-indigenous criminals. And so therefore they get 1.00

00:26:51.140 a partial pass. You couldn't say they always get a free pass, but they get a partial pass.

00:26:56.180 And that's exactly what's happening. I mean, we've seen that also in the United States where

00:27:01.140 there have been efforts made to release, uh, African American criminals earlier or integrate

00:27:07.380 them more or be more lenient. Uh, and, and the recidivism rate, the repeat offense rate is,

00:27:14.500 is higher. One of the things that I came across, uh, well, two things, I think it would be of

00:27:19.060 interest to your viewers that I came across yesterday when I was doing my research on the

00:27:23.300 bail and parole, uh, fiasco. One was since the liberals have come to power, the percentage of,

00:27:34.260 uh, gun crimes has doubled. And that's not people who are being convicted for unsafe storage or failing

00:27:41.540 to renew their licenses or some of those administrative laws that the liberals created.

00:27:46.340 Those that's not the crimes we're talking about. This is people who've pointed at the guns in the

00:27:50.020 commission of a crime, fired a gun in the commission of a crime in some way or other,

00:27:54.340 used a gun to commit a crime that has doubled despite the assault weapons ban, the handgun ban,

00:28:00.340 and all of the other restrictions that the liberals have put on law abiding gun owners.

00:28:05.620 They were never the problem anyway. You know, so what, what you've basically done is you've

00:28:10.500 increased the likelihood people with violent records will be out on the street and you've

00:28:15.940 taken away guns from ordinary people. So what's going to happen? People who are out on the street

00:28:21.860 on bail or early release know that they can use a gun and nobody's going to have

00:28:26.500 any ability to defend themselves. So that's why those instances have increased. But the other thing

00:28:31.860 that was, that was, I think, very telling, and it gets back to what you were talking about,

00:28:35.780 Indigenous offenders, the murder rate among Indigenous Canadians is seven times what the

00:28:45.060 murder rate is among non-Indigenous Canadians. And that's significant, I think, because the murder rate 1.00

00:28:52.500 among other minority Canadians, other visible minority Canadians, is only a fraction higher than it is

00:29:01.780 among non-Indigenous, non-racialized Canadians. So if you have the murder rate, for instance, among

00:29:09.700 Black Canadians is not that much. It is higher than, than among white Canadians, but it's not that much

00:29:16.740 higher. But the, the murder rate among Indigenous Canadians is almost seven times what it is among,

00:29:22.980 among non-Indigenous Canadians. And so there's a problem there. And, and you, and as you pointed out,

00:29:32.100 most of those murders and crimes against Indigenous people are committed by Indigenous people. And, 0.93

00:29:38.900 and that's where one of the, I mean, the Liberals, if they were interested in solving crime,

00:29:44.020 should be focusing their efforts there. How come that happens? Why is, what, what is the reason for

00:29:49.140 that? And let's try and help and stop that. But they don't. They don't. They go after law-abiding gun owners. 0.99

00:29:55.060 And, and they release all sorts of violent people into the street. And yesterday, Prime Minister Trudeau

00:30:01.300 was asked, well, is your new cabinet going to take on bail reform? And he said, well, yes, of course,

00:30:08.820 we'll, we will do bail reform. We said we would. Now their bail reforms, I think, will be largely

00:30:13.540 useless. They were, they're not going to lock up a lot more violent people awaiting trial than,

00:30:20.420 than they are doing now. It's mostly for show. But he said, yes, yes, of course, we'll do bail reform.

00:30:26.180 But this is about mental health support and dealing with social issues. So they've not,

00:30:34.580 they have not absorbed any of the lessons from what these crime statistics show, because in their

00:30:40.900 minds, being progressives in their minds, they're always right. None of their theories are ever wrong.

00:30:47.620 They may be just not implemented properly. So let's work harder to implement the ridiculous ideas 0.75

00:30:52.820 that our experts have given us. I think that's where we're headed with this new cabinet.

00:30:57.140 Here's a clip of Trudeau saying exactly what you just described. Take a look.

00:31:01.300 The latest data from Statistics Canada shows an increase in violent crime in Canada.

00:31:06.660 How are you going to ask your new minister to tackle this? And do you have any possible solutions?

00:31:10.980 We've been working with provinces across the country on bail reform. We've been working on

00:31:17.220 strengthening the ways of supporting Canadians because it is not right that in far too many of

00:31:22.900 our cities we're seeing an uptick in violent crime. And there's all sorts of different factors that go

00:31:28.340 into that. The need for bail reform is one of them. The challenges on mental health that have come out of

00:31:35.060 the pandemic in these difficult years. These are all things we have to respond to. But it's not just about

00:31:40.260 stepping up on the security side, although that is important and we're doing that. It's also about

00:31:44.900 creating greater opportunities for youth to be part of community organizations and have the kind of

00:31:51.140 mentorship and guidance that keeps them out of a life of gangs and crime. It's about making sure

00:31:58.260 that we're investing in safer communities in all sorts of different ways with better mental health

00:32:04.100 supports, better community and frontline workers. It's more work on harm reduction in terms of the

00:32:11.540 opioids epidemic that's devastating far too many communities across the country. We're going to

00:32:16.420 continue to take an evidence-based approach that is there, is present, working with municipalities

00:32:22.020 and provinces to keep our communities safe, to keep Canadians safe, because that's one of the fundamental

00:32:27.380 jobs any government has. You know there's one more thing and our friend Aaron Gunn has done a series of

00:32:33.300 videos that shows this. I remember way back when when I was a baby lawyer and I was going to court and

00:32:40.580 when you're just a student at law you have to wait. There's a pecking order. The senior lawyers go first

00:32:44.740 and the junior lawyers and then at the very end the student lawyers go. But that was actually wonderful

00:32:49.940 because you got to sit in court and watch the smart guys go. You learned a ton just by sitting there. I

00:32:55.300 actually enjoyed going last because I got to see how the smart guys did it. And one thing I saw in

00:33:00.660 docket court, and this was in Edmonton in your city where I went to law school, Lauren, I have to say

00:33:07.460 that the majority of criminal cases that were in docket court, so this is just everything fresh off

00:33:13.220 the street, just from bar fights to domestic assaults. In almost, I don't know, at least half the cases,

00:33:22.180 maybe three quarters, there was alcohol or drugs. And I'm not here calling for prohibition or anything,

00:33:30.260 but I'm making the opposite point. Justin Trudeau and other progressives, far from being prohibitionists,

00:33:37.220 believe in safe injections and free drugs and more drugs and, oh, don't have them go cold turkey,

00:33:45.380 don't have an intervention, take them out of the streets, make it easier for them to get

00:33:49.060 safe drugs. So the thing that I saw, and this is 30 years, 25 years ago I was in docket court,

00:33:54.420 and it was alcohol, but we didn't yet have the same kind of opioid epidemic or some of the

00:33:59.140 the drugs we have now. And I don't remember the stats offhand for the number of indigenous

00:34:05.060 perpetrators and victims where there was alcohol and drugs afoot, but I've got to think it's a

00:34:10.420 majority. It's the reason why some Indian bands are dry, no alcohol allowed, and these are uncomfortable

00:34:15.860 things to talk about. But if we're not going to talk about them, well, Trudeau's making all these

00:34:21.220 things worse. There's this whole industry about pushing drugs on people, not taking it away. You're

00:34:27.540 never going to stop the crime if these people aren't even themselves. What do you think of that?

00:34:32.660 Yeah, I think that's true. I mean, the National Post had an exceptionally good series on safe injection

00:34:40.020 and the whole idea of the state providing free drugs to people and what a complete

00:34:46.180 foul-up that has been. It's very much like the bail and parole reform. That has led to much higher

00:34:56.180 violent crime rates in our cities. And just as giving away free drugs has led to much higher use of

00:35:05.060 opioids. How is this even a question? I know the experts all like to show how much more enlightened

00:35:14.820 they are than we who have these old-fashioned ideas. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You need to

00:35:21.860 release criminals in order to reduce crime, and you need to give away free drugs in order to reduce

00:35:27.460 addiction. In whose universe does that make any sense? It's positively ridiculous. It's one of those

00:35:36.020 things that's so self-evident that it leads to people honking horns in downtown Ottawa because they

00:35:41.540 just get fed up with experts telling them things that are demonstrably untrue.

00:35:46.740 Yeah. You know, there is one jurisdiction in the world that has gone from being one of the most

00:35:52.580 violent countries in the world to one of the least violent, at least when it comes to murder.

00:35:58.580 And I'm talking about the Latin American country called El Salvador. And I'm not sure if you've been

00:36:02.740 paying attention. I have. They have an unusual leader. They do. I would not want to follow their

00:36:09.540 lead. They have suspended most democratic rights. And I don't...

00:36:15.220 Oh, and I'm not downplaying that. But Nayib Bukele, he's a big Bitcoin guy,

00:36:21.220 which shows he's an individual. He's a little bit of a contrarian. But he has arrested

00:36:27.220 on mass people. And you're right. He's, you know, there have been accusations that he's reduced

00:36:33.460 civil liberties. And when it comes to arrest, he has arrested hundreds and hundreds and hundreds

00:36:39.220 of gang members. He had 7% of the male population of El Salvador between the ages of 18 and 29.

00:36:47.860 He has 7% of them in jail at the moment. And he's reduced crime so dramatically. Last I saw,

00:36:55.300 he's at 90% in the polls. Now, I'm not recommending that we incarcerate 7% of young men. That sounds

00:37:02.980 enormous. Although I wonder what the stat is in the United States. It wouldn't surprise me the

00:37:06.820 statistic in the United States is around two or 3%.

00:37:08.740 Well, three strikes did bring down the crime rate in the United States, because you were

00:37:13.620 saying a lot of people who are criminal.

00:37:15.860 And I'm not... I don't know the details of the El Salvador approach, but I know the results.

00:37:22.260 Well, murder and other violent crimes have plunged, and the president's support has skyrocketed. And I

00:37:30.500 say that not saying we should copy that, necessarily. I want to study it more.

00:37:34.100 Right.

00:37:34.740 But where is the political demand for this kind of weak bail, early release? Like, there's only so

00:37:42.260 many criminal lawyers out there who would be cheering this. Who's in favor of it?

00:37:45.780 Yeah. Take a look at what happened when the liberals came in. They also started getting rid

00:37:51.460 of mandatory minimum sentencing. And while crime had been trending down long before Stephen Harper

00:37:58.260 became prime minister, it trended down faster under his government than it had in the previous 20 years.

00:38:05.060 As soon as the liberals started messing with bail and mandatory minimums and early release,

00:38:12.980 it spiked right back up again. Because despite the fact that criminals may not be PhD geniuses,

00:38:20.820 they also aren't stupid. They realize that if there are very few consequences to the crimes that

00:38:26.100 they are committing, they might as well go out and commit them. Like, what's six months over the winter

00:38:31.540 in a nice Canadian prison versus, you know, 12 years, if that was the alternative? They're not

00:38:40.740 dumb. They do these calculations, maybe subconsciously, maybe consciously, but they know that. But the 0.89

00:38:47.620 El Salvador example reminds me of a story from my Italian immigrant father-in-law who came to Canada

00:38:54.980 after the Second World War and said to us quite out of the blue about 10 years ago, you know,

00:39:00.820 under Mussolini, there was no crime in the streets. Yes, well, that's lovely, but I don't want a fascist

00:39:08.180 dictatorship. Thank you very much.

00:39:10.020 Well, there's got to be a happy medium is what I'm saying. And I would like to study El Salvador's case.

00:39:15.540 You are encouraging me to look at the fine print, but it is quite dramatic. I mean,

00:39:22.580 that really was one of the most violent, dangerous places and gangs run. And by the way, Mexico is 0.98

00:39:28.180 lawless. Mexico, half of Mexico is run by the cartels. And if the choice is between an authoritarian

00:39:33.860 drug kingpin or a heavy-handed president, you know, if those are the, now maybe there's a third

00:39:40.020 option there too, but I would like to learn more. The article is called Liberal Bail Reforms Directly

00:39:46.180 Tied to Soaring Violent Crime Rights. The author is our friend Lauren Gunter. The newspaper in which it

00:39:50.340 was published was the Edmonton Sun. It's great to see you again. And I really, and you've told me the

00:39:54.980 Edmonton story and I know the Vancouver story here in Toronto, the stabbings and shootings,

00:39:59.540 especially on the subway, because the subway here is probably the most developed subway in Canada.

00:40:05.700 And it is dangerous. People are afraid to go on there. And you see videos of passengers running,

00:40:13.140 screaming in terror from a stabbing. It is real. It's not 1970s New York yet, but it's on that path.

00:40:22.420 Last word to you, my friend. No, I think you're right. I think you have to, within the container

00:40:30.020 of the rule of law and democratic rights, you have to be as firm, as tough on criminals as you can be,

00:40:39.460 because they take the signal that you're not being tough as licensed to go out and do whatever they

00:40:45.460 feel like. Yeah. Right. Well, we'll wrap it up there, Lauren Gunter. Great to see you again. Thanks very much.

00:40:50.580 This is you. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:41:02.820 Hey, that's the show for today. I want to tell you, I was actually planning on going on another

00:41:07.940 journey tonight. We've been defending a fight the fines case in the United Kingdom. We had a handful of

00:41:16.020 them and most of them resolved, but there was one case left. It was the case of a cranky, rather

00:41:22.580 eccentric municipal counselor near Glasgow in Scotland. His name was Paddy Hogg. He was a real

00:41:28.740 character. Here's a quick flashback to Paddy Hogg and how he got in trouble.

00:41:35.940 Well, they wouldn't let Paddy Hogg go. He had a peaceful protest outdoors at his own city hall,

00:41:42.020 where he was a city councilor. Not only did they charge him with some anti-gathering offense,

00:41:46.420 but they charged him with a criminal offense. They said he was endangering the lives of people

00:41:51.940 because they could get COVID at his outdoor protest. Well, there's actually no cases of

00:41:56.740 COVID spreading in the outdoors. We crowdfunded the legal defense for Paddy Hogg, and we actually hired

00:42:04.500 a world-class expert on infectious diseases. We were going to slam dunk this case in court in Scotland.

00:42:11.300 Not only would we win for Paddy Hogg, but I was absolutely certain, as was our lawyer, 0.95

00:42:16.260 that our infectious diseases expert would say, this is ridiculous. It just didn't spread outdoors.

00:42:22.020 And on the eve of trial, the prosecutor there just dropped the case after hounding Paddy Hogg for two

00:42:30.900 years. I'm glad I don't have to make the long journey to Glasgow, but frankly, I was looking

00:42:36.260 forward to watching our Top Gun lawyers smash the prosecutor there, and not just win for Paddy,

00:42:42.420 but to win for scientific truth. Alas, Paddy's free to go, and we'll just have to tell you the story.

00:42:48.500 I'm glad I won't be traveling. I've been traveling so much. I look forward to spending a lot more time

00:42:52.820 here in the studio and with our great Canadian team. I tell you, one last thing before I go. If you

00:42:58.260 haven't seen David Menzies' video about the Fergus girls rugby team, you've got to watch it. It's got

00:43:07.380 half a million views on YouTube alone in the last few days. Here's just a little taste of that.

00:43:12.100 Here's the cold open of that video. Just take a quick look.

00:43:19.300 Mr. Davis, Ash, why are you doing this? I'm David Menzies Rebel News.

00:43:23.460 Hi. No, you're not really a part of this. Human rights. What about the human rights of biological

00:43:28.580 women being injured by this man? As a mother, why would you expose your kids to a massage? 1.00

00:43:33.620 Because that is my partner. That is my wife that you are being an asshole. 1.00

00:43:38.900 Sorry, he's a lesbian? It's not a sport. It's not an issue. I'm a registered social worker, 1.00

00:43:45.220 sir, and I demand human rights for everybody. Oh, okay. What's a biological female? 1.00

00:43:51.220 Yeah, what's a biological female? How do you feel about a biological male playing in rugby man?

00:43:56.100 Thank you. I don't really give a f*** everybody. Okay. I don't know what is a crime anymore. 0.96

00:44:02.420 Well, sometimes we all ask ourselves that, right? I tell you, it's vintage rebel in the field,

00:44:08.980 politically incorrect, not being afraid. Police are called on us. David Menzies doesn't lose his

00:44:15.140 cool. That's some of the best TV I've seen this year, and I hope you agree. It's one of the things

00:44:19.700 that, you know, we tell the other side of the story. Most media are afraid to challenge the insanity

00:44:25.940 of transgenderism in women's sports, but our friend David did a great job. That's vintage rebel in it. 0.99

00:44:32.340 Well, have a great weekend. We'll see you on Monday. Keep checking in on our channel over the

00:44:36.660 weekend. Of course, we still post news as it breaks. Until next time, on behalf of all of us

00:44:42.420 at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
