Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Justin Trudeau calls you a Nazi – but he literally cheered for an actual Nazi SS officer

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. What a bizarre weekend it was. Justin Trudeau and the liberals invite an actual

00:00:07.300 Nazi officer from the SS to attend parliament as some sort of cherished war hero. They called him

00:00:16.360 a war hero. They all applauded him. Now, most people I don't think knew who he was, but Trudeau's

00:00:23.300 team vetted him. The Speaker of the House vetted him. They knew exactly who he was. It took

00:00:28.680 independent journalists like Rebel News to expose the story over the weekend, and that's what we're

00:00:33.420 going to talk about today. I'd like to show you some video clips, though. Can you go to

00:00:58.680 Tonight, Justin Trudeau calls you a Nazi, but he literally cheered for an actual Nazi SS

00:01:19.600 officer. It's September 25th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:01:23.380 You're fighting for freedom! Shame on you, you censorious vubug! 1.00

00:01:29.640 It's Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, the most somber day in the Jewish calendar. 0.99

00:01:43.560 And Justin Trudeau thought he'd show the Jews what he thought of them by inviting an actual 1.00

00:01:48.260 SS Nazi officer to parliament. Here, take a look at how Yaroslav Hanke, now 98 years old,

00:01:54.940 and a proud and unrepentant member of Hitler's 14th Waffen SS Division Galicia. Look at this.

00:02:03.640 We have here in the chamber today Ukrainian-Canadians, Ukrainian-Canadian world veteran

00:02:08.620 from the Second World War who fought the Ukrainian independence against the Russians

00:02:14.320 and continues to support the troops today, even at his age of 98.

00:02:20.660 Thank you very much.

00:02:29.360 His name is Yaroslav Hunkka.

00:02:54.700 And I was going to say he's in the gallery, but I think you beat me to that.

00:03:01.180 But I'm very proud to say that he is from North Bay and from my riding of Nipissing to Miskaming.

00:03:12.840 He's a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service.

00:03:18.440 Thank you.

00:03:25.440 That's quite a careful way to describe someone.

00:03:49.100 Isn't it a Ukrainian Canadian war veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and a Ukrainian hero and a Canadian hero.

00:04:01.100 That sort of leaves out a few details, doesn't it?

00:04:06.100 No one knows even the most basic facts about the Second World War.

00:04:09.100 They might recall that in the final half of that war, we were actually allies with the Soviet Union and that Stalin's Red Army bore the brunt of the casualties and conquered Berlin.

00:04:22.100 I'm not saying that Stalin or the Soviets or the Red Army even were good.

00:04:27.100 They were deeply evil institutions and Stalin murdered as many or more people than Hitler did and had a much longer reign of terror.

00:04:35.100 But if we're talking about the Second World War and veterans fighting against the Russians pretty much meant you were with the Nazis, which is what Yaroslav Hanke did.

00:04:51.100 This is him as a young man.

00:04:54.100 Understand, I'm not saying that he was a regular soldier.

00:04:57.100 He's not just some conscript. There were millions of men who served in the German Wehrmacht as conscripts.

00:05:03.100 They were not war criminals merely by virtue of serving the German army.

00:05:07.100 But what Yaroslav Hanke did was something different.

00:05:10.100 He was a Ukrainian who positively volunteered to join Hitler's SS. 0.58

00:05:17.100 That was the political ideological pointy end of the spear for Hitler's final solution. 0.94

00:05:23.100 Those are the most brutal of Hitler's soldiers.

00:05:26.100 The ones who rounded up the local resistance fighter.

00:05:29.100 The one who hunted for hidden Jews in the attics. 0.64

00:05:32.100 The ones who could be counted on to do the shootings of civilians and the dumping of bodies in mass graves.

00:05:38.100 That's what the 14th Waffen Battalion did.

00:05:42.100 That's who Yaroslav Hanke was.

00:05:45.100 Look at this. Here's a fascinating story about Hanke's Battalion.

00:05:49.100 Written a few years ago by David Pugliese, Canada's leading military journalist and historian.

00:05:55.100 He writes occasionally for the Ottawa Citizen too.

00:05:58.100 This was published in Esprit de Corps magazine, a military magazine.

00:06:02.100 The headline is the RCAF officer who brought Hitler's Waffen SS to Canada.

00:06:10.100 It was written a few years ago.

00:06:13.100 Here's a few passages.

00:06:14.100 Those who served in the 14th Waffen SS Division Galicia had taken an oath to Hitler and had received education and Nazi doctrine.

00:06:23.100 Ukrainian officers had been trained at SS facilities in the Dachau concentration camp.

00:06:29.100 Huh. Seemed like nice guys.

00:06:32.100 So how did he get into Canada?

00:06:34.100 Well, a lot of Nazis sneaked out of Germany at the end of the war.

00:06:38.100 Many went to South America.

00:06:40.100 2,000 came to Canada from this battalion here.

00:06:44.100 In an attempt to hide the SS connection, the unit had changed its name in the last few days of the war to the 1st Division Ukrainian National Army.

00:06:55.100 So this guy, Yaroslav Hanke, has been living in Canada for about 70 years, keeping a very low profile.

00:07:02.100 I don't know, maybe hoping that no Mossad Nazi hunters would find him and kidnap him and take him to Israel for a trial, as they had with other Nazis like Adolf Eichmann found hiding in South America.

00:07:16.100 Hmm. So Yaroslav Hanke lives a free and happy life in Canada, a small town.

00:07:23.100 She's never charged with any war crimes.

00:07:25.100 She never gets into any trouble.

00:07:26.100 And then one day, he's 98 years old now, he gets invited to Parliament as a hero, introduced as a hero.

00:07:35.100 And look at that cheer. Take a look at this.

00:07:38.100 Zelensky's speech received at least a dozen standing ovations.

00:07:43.100 There was also one for this man, a 98-year-old Ukrainian-Canadian who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the Second World War.

00:07:53.100 That is the look of relief and that wiping the brow and that's vindication, that's redemption.

00:08:00.100 They love him. They don't hate him. He's not a war criminal or a pariah. He's a hero.

00:08:05.100 They said it. Everyone cheered him. He was so proud.

00:08:10.100 And his daughter-in-law and son who accompanied him to Ottawa for the big day, they were so proud.

00:08:15.100 Finally, they could be proud of Grandpa and what he did.

00:08:19.100 And look at that. He's waiting for a reception with Trudeau and Zelensky.

00:08:23.100 So all that happened on Friday.

00:08:25.100 But I was honestly more distracted by the protesters shouting things outside the hotel where Zelensky was speaking.

00:08:31.100 There he is. There he is. There he is, Zelensky. Go home.

00:08:50.100 I was also distracted by this shouty speech that Trudeau gave from inside the hotel that actually seemed a bit unhinged to me to be candid.

00:09:11.100 A bit off-brand for Mr. Sunnyways, a little bit off-brand for Canada the honest broker, Canada the peacemaker, the peacekeeper.

00:09:19.100 What do you think of this? It's just an excerpt from Trudeau's speech.

00:09:22.100 To continue to step up as Canada has with close to $9 billion in aid for Ukraine.

00:09:28.100 But we will because the cost on Canadians, on our lives, on our world will be so much greater if Putin wins this war

00:09:37.100 that we will and have to stand every single day until Ukraine wins this war.

00:09:43.100 The stakes are high for Canadians. The stakes are high for Ukrainians. The stakes are high for all of us around the world.

00:09:56.100 This is a moment where we define ourselves for the rest of the 21st century.

00:10:03.100 Did we stand up against authoritarianism? Did we stand up against those who choose to break the rules around the world?

00:10:12.100 Do we stand up for what is right? We are Canadian! Of course we're going to stand up for what's right!

00:10:17.100 That felt a little odd to me. Did it feel a little odd to you?

00:10:20.100 So that's what I was thinking about after the parliament event and after Trudeau's speech.

00:10:25.100 I really didn't even notice this hunker thing, but by Saturday I started looking at it because I saw this photo captioned by the Canadian press.

00:10:36.100 And it says, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recognized Yaroslav Hanka, who was in attendance,

00:10:45.100 and fought with the 1st Ukrainian Division in the Second World War before later immigrating to Canada in the House of Commons on Friday.

00:10:53.100 So that was more information than the Speaker of the House introduced, isn't it?

00:10:58.100 But like David Pugliese, the historian points out, that 1st Ukrainian Battalion, that was the sneaky fake name that the Nazis gave themselves so they could slip into Canada.

00:11:10.100 Those are the Waffen-SS Nazi guys.

00:11:12.100 But I guess no one at the Canadian Press or the Canadian Parliament or the Canadian media or the Canadian establishment at all noticed.

00:11:20.100 Although CP seemed to get their facts right.

00:11:23.100 Look again, the guys right next to Hanka were literally senior military officers.

00:11:28.100 Did none of them know that the Waffen-SS actually slaughtered Allied soldiers, as well as Jews and Poles and anyone else Hitler hated?

00:11:36.100 There's no way that Trudeau didn't vet him.

00:11:39.100 This was an ultra-high security event.

00:11:42.100 Trudeau was there.

00:11:43.100 Every MP was there.

00:11:44.100 Zelensky was there.

00:11:45.100 Everyone was vetted for security.

00:11:47.100 When even a doorman at the hotel reached out to shake Zelensky's hand, his hand was swatted away by security.

00:11:54.100 And fair enough, right?

00:11:55.100 Nothing was left to chance, right?

00:11:57.100 Don't tell me that Yaroslav Hanka just slipped into Parliament like he slipped into Canada with no one watching.

00:12:04.100 They knew who he was.

00:12:06.100 Absolutely they knew.

00:12:07.100 The Speaker of the House did.

00:12:08.100 Trudeau and his staff did.

00:12:10.100 Likely Zelensky's staff did, too.

00:12:13.100 Don't pretend that you can just bring in someone off the street at an event like that.

00:12:18.100 Notice the Speaker himself was reading prepared remarks when he introduced them.

00:12:22.100 It seemed written by someone else.

00:12:24.100 I bet 25 people knew.

00:12:27.100 From protocol officers to communications officers to political officers to security.

00:12:32.100 Don't lie to me and tell me no one knew.

00:12:35.100 But why did Trudeau think he could get away with it?

00:12:38.100 Well, because he has been getting away with it.

00:12:41.100 Back in June, just a few months ago, Trudeau went to Kiev and he met with a real-deal Holocaust denier who proudly tweeted of their visit.

00:12:50.100 That guy, Andrey Milnik, was so odious that even Zelensky himself fired him as the Ukrainian ambassador because he was so toxic.

00:12:58.100 He would go on TV and just deny the Holocaust like this.

00:13:02.100 That's what you said.

00:13:03.100 There were several massacre in the Polish in the West Ukraine, which led by the Banderas-Ford.

00:13:07.100 And it had the same massacre in Poland that happened over the Ukraine.

00:13:12.100 That would make it better.

00:13:14.100 That would make it better.

00:13:15.100 That was a war of a war.

00:13:19.100 And that's why the Poles wanted to politics this story.

00:13:23.100 We are against Israel. 0.97

00:13:25.100 But Israel had a threat? 0.96

00:13:26.100 Israel, the state Israel.

00:13:27.100 Yes.

00:13:28.100 800.000 people were also from Banderas-Trucks.

00:13:30.100 Denken Sie sich das aus?

00:13:33.100 I don't know what they think about Banderas.

00:13:35.100 But we are talking about Banderas.

00:13:37.100 And we are talking about Banderas.

00:13:38.100 The whole world knows that Banderas are at the Demolition of the 100.000 Jews. 0.98

00:13:43.100 No, that's true.

00:13:44.100 Except for the Ukraine.

00:13:45.100 It doesn't exist.

00:13:46.100 It doesn't exist.

00:13:47.100 It doesn't exist that Banderas-Trucks have 100.000 Jews.

00:13:51.100 It doesn't exist.

00:13:52.100 Yes.

00:13:53.100 That is the narrative that the Russians have to do it today.

00:13:56.100 And that they are in Germany and also in Poland and Israel also unterstützen. 0.89

00:14:01.100 Denken Sie sich die jüdischen Gemeinden das alle aus?

00:14:03.100 Ich weiß nicht woher Sie diese Daten nehmen, aber ich bin bereit auch mit den jüdischen

00:14:09.100 Gemeinden darüber sachlich zu reden.

00:14:12.100 Wenn Sie wirklich nicht nur das wiederholen, was wir seit Jahrzehnten hören.

00:14:17.100 Banderas ist…

00:14:18.100 Es gab Flugblätter, als die Deutschen reingekommen sind nach Gviv.

00:14:20.100 Ja.

00:14:21.100 Da hieß es, Volk, das musst du wissen.

00:14:23.100 Moskowiten, Polen, Ungaren und Juden, sie sind deine Feinde.

00:14:27.100 Vernichte sie.

00:14:28.100 Das musst du wissen.

00:14:29.100 Deine Führung.

00:14:30.100 Dein Führer Stepan Bandera.

00:14:32.100 Was für Flugblätter ist das?

00:14:34.100 Als die Deutschen gerade einmarschiert sind, da haben sie quasi an die Bevölkerung das

00:14:39.100 verteilt, die ja noch unter anderer Herrschaft dann da waren.

00:14:42.100 Die haben sich ja mit den Deutschen verbrüdert.

00:14:45.100 Das ist doch ganz klar.

00:14:47.100 Also…

00:14:48.100 Und ich frage mich…

00:14:49.100 Ich frage mich halt…

00:14:50.100 Ich meine, ich verstehe…

00:14:51.100 Also ich werde dir heute nicht sagen, dass ich mich davon distanziere.

00:14:56.100 Und das war's.

00:14:57.100 Ja.

00:14:58.100 Das ist ja deine Entscheidung.

00:14:59.100 Ja, das ist meine Entscheidung und das kannst du nicht verstehen, aber weil…

00:15:03.100 Ich verstehe nicht, wie man jemanden als Helden bezeichnen kann, der gleichzeitig Massenmörder

00:15:09.100 von Juden und Polen war.

00:15:12.100 Bandera war kein Massenmörder von Juden und Polen.

00:15:16.100 Er war kein Massenmörder.

00:15:17.100 Ja, so Trudeau ist mit André Melnick.

00:15:20.100 Und die Medien don't care. 1.00

00:15:22.100 Und die Opposition doesn't care, so that's okay, right? 0.89

00:15:25.100 I mean if a guy can go full blackface and get away with it, why not? 1.00

00:15:30.100 He's learning what he can get away with.

00:15:33.100 I don't know if you remember, Christia Freeland posed with a scarf in the colors of Nazi leader

00:15:38.100 Stepan Bandera.

00:15:39.100 No problem.

00:15:40.100 No mainstream media cared.

00:15:42.100 Keep going, right?

00:15:43.100 David Pagliese, you see the historian that had written about how Trudeau and Freeland were supporting

00:15:49.100 anti-Semitic neo-Nazi groups like the Azov Battalion giving them military training.

00:15:54.100 And their main concern was keeping it a secret from the Canadian media.

00:15:57.100 Here's the Ottawa Citizen article.

00:16:00.100 That's a scandal.

00:16:01.100 It actually was published in the Ottawa Citizen, but no one seemed to care.

00:16:06.100 So why would they care if Trudeau brought a real live Nazi into Parliament?

00:16:10.100 I mean, do you think Christia Freeland herself would care?

00:16:14.100 I mean, her own grandfather was a Nazi.

00:16:16.100 I'm not blaming her for what her grandpa did before she was born.

00:16:19.100 But when she learned about it, she covered it up for years, claiming it was just Russian propaganda.

00:16:24.100 No, it was real.

00:16:25.100 So Trudeau and Freeland routinely call peaceful democratic political critics Nazis and far-right and racist.

00:16:33.100 Their critics are not Nazis, of course.

00:16:35.100 They just disagree with them.

00:16:36.100 It's Trudeau and Freeland who really do have the Nazi problem.

00:16:40.100 And it's coming from inside their house, but they call everyone those names first.

00:16:45.100 It's like Trudeau calling other people misogynists when he's actually the one who sexually assaulted Rose Knight.

00:16:52.100 He calls you a racist.

00:16:53.100 He's the one who wears blackface. 1.00

00:16:55.100 As usual, if it's a report about Trudeau's misconduct, though,

00:17:00.100 you'll read about it in the foreign press before you'll read about it, if ever, in Canada's news media,

00:17:05.100 which has been colonized by Trudeau.

00:17:07.100 So all these things happened on Friday.

00:17:10.100 No coverage.

00:17:12.100 No coverage.

00:17:13.100 No coverage on Saturday.

00:17:15.100 But by Sunday, a left-wing Jewish daily forward, the first mainstream publication to cover this, reported on the Nazi link.

00:17:23.100 Why did a New York-based newspaper beat every Canadian regime journalist?

00:17:28.100 Now, it wasn't until Sunday.

00:17:29.100 Well, you know why, don't you?

00:17:31.100 You know, a masked agent provocateur unfurled a Nazi flag just long enough to be photographed at the trucker convoy.

00:17:39.100 And that was enough for Canada's regime media to denounce 100,000 truckers as racist.

00:17:44.100 Trudeau deliberately invites a Nazi soldier to parliament and crickets.

00:17:48.100 It felt to independent journalists like me, even, to raise the alarm.

00:17:52.100 I started tweeting about this on Saturday night, and my tweets were actually getting millions of views.

00:17:58.100 I mean, this one alone had three million views.

00:18:01.100 I remember I wrote it at like 1.30 a.m. on Saturday night.

00:18:06.100 Now, I read, here's what I said.

00:18:09.100 I said, I hope I'm wrong, but I think Trudeau and Zelensky just did something terrible.

00:18:14.100 Let me explain it in reverse.

00:18:15.100 Now, I was so shocked by what I had thought I had found about this guy.

00:18:19.100 I was worried that I must have got something wrong.

00:18:21.100 It was so crazy a story.

00:18:23.100 No, I didn't get it wrong.

00:18:25.100 It's just that every other mainstream journalist in the country who was covering the event either just missed it or didn't care or was in on it.

00:18:33.100 So Sunday afternoon rolls around.

00:18:36.100 The Jewish Daily Forward in New York had done a story about it.

00:18:39.100 Our friend Joe Warmington and the Sun started poking around.

00:18:42.100 And the Speaker, finally, the Speaker of the House put out a press release claiming that it was him, only him, all him, nobody else.

00:18:53.100 Nobody else, right?

00:18:55.100 You can just grab a stranger and bring him into parliament with the highest security event of the year.

00:19:00.100 Is that how it works?

00:19:02.100 Same with this woman, Karina Gould, a cabinet minister who happens to be a Jew. 0.61

00:19:07.100 Here she is with the Nazi officer.

00:19:09.100 She quickly deleted this image and then claimed she knew nothing about the guy, never met him.

00:19:14.100 Really? You liar.

00:19:15.100 And today she said, shame on everyone for being so political about all this.

00:19:20.100 Can you get a load of this?

00:19:21.100 I want to please ask all colleagues, particularly those in the Conservative Party of Canada,

00:19:29.100 to make sure that we do not politicize this issue.

00:19:32.100 I don't think it helps anybody.

00:19:35.100 I think we need to make sure that we move forward, recognize this mistake and stand in solidarity together to reiterate our commitment to Jewish Canadians,

00:19:50.100 but also to Ukrainian Canadians and the people who are fighting for freedom, for peace and for justice in Ukraine right now.

00:19:59.100 Yeah. Stop being so political, you guys.

00:20:02.100 You're causing the harm here.

00:20:04.100 Stop being so political by calling people Nazis.

00:20:08.100 Don't you know it's just, you know, it's facts when we call truckers Nazis, but it's too political when you call a Nazi a Nazi.

00:20:15.100 Don't you know, and I'm going to use my concern voice.

00:20:19.100 Here's Karina Gould again in question period, when she later admitted that absolutely this Nazi was vetted for security.

00:20:27.100 Of course she was.

00:20:28.100 She knew that he, she admits the government knew everything about him, but it's all the speaker's fault, don't you know?

00:20:36.100 Unfortunately, I think my honorable colleague has misinterpreted what I was saying.

00:20:41.100 What I was saying and what you yourself indeed have said is that you invited this particular individual.

00:20:48.100 You yourself decided to recognize this individual without informing either the government or the Ukrainian delegation that you would be doing this.

00:20:59.100 When it comes to everyone that was invited to parliament, of course that vetting happened.

00:21:05.100 However, the decision, the decision to recognize an individual was that of the speaker.

00:21:13.100 And I would ask that the members opposite would please be respectful.

00:21:20.100 This is a very difficult time for all of us, but I do ask them to stick to the facts and the issue at hand,

00:21:28.100 which was the fact that this individual was invited by the speaker and the decision to recognize by the speaker, not by the government.

00:21:38.100 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

00:21:40.100 You know, these liberals lie and they know they're lying and they know that, you know, they're lying, but they lie anyways.

00:21:46.100 I mean, it's totally normal for a liberal and a Jew to say this. 0.99

00:21:52.100 How much vitriol do we have to see of Hong Kong, which is an acronym for Hail Hitler.

00:21:58.100 Do we need to see by these protesters on social media?

00:22:03.100 That's my MP, believe it or not. That's normal. That's not politicizing things.

00:22:09.100 But it's too political to call out finding an actual Nazi and bringing him to parliament and cheering for him. 0.69

00:22:15.100 Don't be so political.

00:22:17.100 Well, the master of manipulation, the grand poobah of gaslighting, saved his appearance for last look at this absolute masterpiece. 0.99

00:22:27.100 Obviously, it's extremely upsetting that this happened.

00:22:30.100 The speaker has acknowledged his mistake and has apologized.

00:22:35.100 But this is something that is deeply embarrassing to the parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians.

00:22:42.100 I think particularly of Jewish MPs and all members of the Jewish community across the country who are celebrating or commemorating Yom Kippur today.

00:22:52.100 I think it's going to be really important that all of us push back against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation

00:23:00.100 and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine, as we did last week with announcing further measures to stand with Ukraine in Russia's illegal war against it.

00:23:12.100 Oh, he's somber and he's upset. He's upset just like you. He's mad at the speaker just like you should be.

00:23:19.100 Parliament and Canada have been humiliated. Not him, by the way. He wants to get to the bottom of it.

00:23:26.100 Now, he's not particularly upset because he's certainly not to blame, but the speaker is to blame and those Russians are to blame. 1.00

00:23:32.100 Beware of Russian disinformation. I mean, really, did a Nazi even actually go to parliament?

00:23:38.100 Are you sure? Are you sure that's not Russian disinformation?

00:23:42.100 We're all embarrassed and have to get to the bottom of this.

00:23:45.100 And by even talking about what happened, aren't you being a Russian agent?

00:23:49.100 What a disgrace Justin Trudeau is. What an international laughing stock he is.

00:23:55.100 By the way, I note that from Trudeau on down, not a single member of the government has actually apologized for the Nazi. 0.88

00:24:06.100 They blame the speaker of the House who has apologized and accepts responsibility, but he hasn't actually accepted responsibility if that means doing anything like resigning or even firing a scapegoat, which is the usual liberal way.

00:24:19.100 He's just accepted responsibility and and like just I checked the box.

00:24:25.100 Here's Andrew Coyne, the prince of the media party, say, let's that's good enough.

00:24:30.100 Taking responsibility does not equal resigning always and everywhere, even in public life.

00:24:35.100 It can mean that, but does not necessarily automatically.

00:24:38.100 If everyone had to resign every time they screwed up, very few jobs would be full and none at all in the media.

00:24:43.100 Hey, guys, just because we literally invited, vetted, introduced, honored and cheered a Nazi doesn't mean we have to actually do anything because this could happen all the time.

00:24:54.100 Just say sorry and that's enough.

00:24:56.100 Here's his buddy, Bruce Arthur, the Toronto Star.

00:24:59.100 The basic dynamic of Canadian politics right now is the liberals celebrated a Nazi through incredible incompetence.

00:25:06.100 Seven months after some conservatives celebrated a Nazi completely on purpose. 0.62

00:25:11.100 I bet he means Christine Anderson, the German member of the European Parliament who visited Canada a few months ago, except she's not a Nazi.

00:25:19.100 As you know, it's illegal to be a Nazi in Germany.

00:25:21.100 She'd be jailed if she really was a Nazi.

00:25:23.100 It's actually the one place you can be sure she's not a Nazi because she'd be in prison.

00:25:27.100 She's just a conservative. 1.00

00:25:29.100 So what Bruce Arthur has done is trivialize the Holocaust, because if a mere conservative member of the European Parliament who he doesn't like is no better than a Nazi, 0.72

00:25:38.100 then a Nazi is no worse than her. 0.80

00:25:40.100 So the Nazi in the SS brigade must not have been that bad, not any bad, worse than a conservative politician. 0.72

00:25:48.100 That's the Toronto Star for you.

00:25:50.100 What a disgrace.

00:25:52.100 But let me point out again, none of the liberals have actually said this guy, Hunka, is a bad guy.

00:25:58.100 Because they're still trying to get those votes.

00:26:03.100 The entire establishment let this go for two days.

00:26:08.100 They all hoped no one would notice.

00:26:11.100 So gross.

00:26:12.100 Oh, and just so you know how sorry they all are.

00:26:16.100 Today the liberals tried to get permission, unanimous consent, to delete and erase all records of their Nazi moment, Orwellian style.

00:26:26.100 I would like to ask for unanimous consent to adopt the following motion.

00:26:31.100 That notwithstanding any standing order, special order, or usual practice of the House, the recognition made by the Speaker of the House of an individual present in the galleries

00:26:40.100 during the joint address to Parliament by His Excellency Volodymyr Zelensky be struck from the appendix of the House of Commons debates of Thursday, September 21, 2023, and from any House multimedia recording.

00:26:54.100 It needed unanimous permission in Parliament, so it failed.

00:26:59.100 They won't apologize.

00:27:01.100 The only thing they are apologizing for is the embarrassment.

00:27:04.100 They're not apologizing for the guy.

00:27:06.100 They would rather delete the proof of it to make it nothing more than a rumor.

00:27:11.100 What cowardly, manipulating Nazi lovers they are. 0.88

00:27:17.100 Stay with us.

00:27:18.100 Up next, I'm going to show you a compendium of other views.

00:27:21.100 Our own Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies, plus some comments I had for the foreign media, which is very interested in the story.

00:27:28.100 I've always thought Canadians had some common sense, too.

00:27:43.100 I don't think that's still true, because some of the things that are going on.

00:27:50.100 There's good news and bad news coming out of Canada.

00:27:54.100 Ezra Levant is with us now.

00:27:56.100 He's the Rebel News founder.

00:27:57.100 It's kind of like the Blaze up in Canada.

00:27:59.100 He is the host of the Ezra Levant Show.

00:28:02.100 And he's here to tell us the happenings this weekend.

00:28:06.100 Let's start with the big standing ovation that was given to a Canadian Nazi. 0.68

00:28:17.100 Ezra.

00:28:20.100 Glenn, it's absolutely crazy.

00:28:23.100 Yaroslav Hanka is the name of a former Nazi SS officer.

00:28:29.100 So I'm not just talking about some regular GI in the Wehrmacht who was conscripted and just fought in a tank.

00:28:35.100 I'm talking about someone who volunteered to be part of Hitler's elite Nazis in Ukraine.

00:28:42.100 Now, he's 98 years old and he's been living a very low profile life in Canada.

00:28:48.100 So unlike some other Nazis, he hasn't been hunted down by the Mossad. 0.84

00:28:52.100 Imagine how surprised he must have been to receive a phone call that he would be the honored guest in Parliament when Justin Trudeau welcomed Vladimir Zelensky on Friday.

00:29:03.100 And he was just like in your American State of the Union address where they point the camera at someone in the audience and they give him a shout out and everyone gives him applause.

00:29:13.100 They literally did that for Yaroslav Hanka, a 98 year old Nazi SS officer.

00:29:20.100 But they didn't introduce him that way, Glenn.

00:29:22.100 They said he, quote, fought the Russians.

00:29:26.100 Well, the Nazis did that. 0.92

00:29:29.100 Hitler did that. 0.96

00:29:30.100 That's right.

00:29:31.100 Amongst other things, you know, they also fought the Poles.

00:29:34.100 They also fought the Jews.

00:29:36.100 And this guy, Hanka, couldn't believe it.

00:29:39.100 He's been hiding in Canada for 70 years.

00:29:42.100 And then in the twilight of his life, he's cheered and he he raises his fist and he gets a standing O.

00:29:50.100 But later on and and I did a little bit of digging here.

00:29:53.100 I thought, well, who is this guy?

00:29:55.100 And he was one of two thousand Nazis that sort of sneaked into Canada after the war.

00:30:01.100 They went to Argentina and other Latin American countries and two thousand of them came to Canada.

00:30:06.100 And don't tell me they didn't know.

00:30:08.100 Don't tell me you don't have a guest of honor at our version of a State of the Union address where the entire parliament is assembled.

00:30:16.100 Don't tell me when Vladimir Zelensky comes, they have a very high security vetting everybody rule.

00:30:22.100 Don't tell me they didn't know who this guy was.

00:30:25.100 They absolutely knew who he was, Glenn.

00:30:28.100 Here is the interesting thing to me.

00:30:31.100 They cheer in parliament an actual SS Nazi. 0.70

00:30:37.100 And yet they accuse what half of Canada, anybody who stood behind the truckers, they accuse them of Nazis and threatened to put them all in jail.

00:30:49.100 Well, that's a good way to understand Justin Trudeau.

00:30:51.100 He calls himself a male feminist, but he admits that he sexually assaulted a woman named Rose Knight.

00:30:57.100 He just said, oh, she experienced it differently.

00:31:00.100 He calls you a racist, but he's a guy who dressed up in blackface so many times he says he lost count.

00:31:07.100 He calls everyone he doesn't like a Nazi, including Jewish people. 0.52

00:31:11.100 He called a Jewish MP a Nazi.

00:31:14.100 He called a black MP a Nazi.

00:31:17.100 But he's the one leading the standing ovation for an actual Nazi, not Nazi linked or Nazi vibes.

00:31:26.100 This guy was out there with his gun obeying their Fuhrer.

00:31:31.100 And it's just incredible.

00:31:32.100 And the kind of mop up work that the media party is doing, Glenn, is just incredible.

00:31:38.100 Why don't we throw to a video here is an individual.

00:31:49.100 He was described as a war veteran, a Canadian patriot and a Nazi.

00:31:56.100 No, they didn't say that part that leaked out later.

00:31:59.100 And now we have, I guess, can we call it Nazi gate, Sheila? 0.59

00:32:03.100 Can we use that?

00:32:04.100 Is it a suffix or it's a suffix?

00:32:07.100 Nazi gate.

00:32:08.100 This is a story going around the world and it has profound implications.

00:32:14.100 I don't think Russia could be happier than the fiasco that occurred. 0.99

00:32:20.100 So just in case anyone's returning to Earth on a space shuttle and miss the story,

00:32:25.100 why don't we throw to the video?

00:32:27.100 Let's just let's just set it up a little.

00:32:30.100 Okay.

00:32:31.100 So this is the man in question is a 98 year old.

00:32:35.100 They touted him as a veteran whom we should celebrate because he fought the Russians during

00:32:41.100 World War Two.

00:32:43.100 Because if you are historically illiterate, like liberals tend to be, although they haven't

00:32:48.100 completely erased the history of World War Two, there are some people out there who still

00:32:53.100 know what World War Two was about and who's who is on what side.

00:32:58.100 And if you fought against the Russians, you were on the side of the Nazis. 0.54

00:33:05.100 Exactly.

00:33:06.100 And so this guy was an ally and paid a huge price fighting on the Eastern Front, by the

00:33:12.100 way, against the brutality of the Nazis.

00:33:14.100 And incidentally, the Waffen SS of whom this guy was a member.

00:33:19.100 So the Waffen or sorry, the SS was sort of built up into broken down into two divisions.

00:33:26.100 One was Hitler's personal bodyguards and the rest were the kill squads.

00:33:30.100 He was a member of the kill squad.

00:33:32.100 They were known as the most fanatical and brutal of all the soldiers fighting on behalf of Germany.

00:33:40.100 These were the ones that were deployed to kill the resistors, the Poles, the Jews, the Roma, the Catholic conscientious objectors to all to the brutality. 0.83

00:33:51.100 They were the ones that went out.

00:33:52.100 They killed, incidentally, the communists, the capitalists, like they were they were the kill squads.

00:34:00.100 They were almost religious in their loyalty to the Fuhrer. 0.86

00:34:03.100 And this guy was trotted into the House of Commons and given a standing ovation by all parties to the shame of all parties because, quote, he fought the Russians.

00:34:15.100 And so they thought that this guy would be somebody that should be celebrated when Ukrainian Prime Minister Zelensky came to the House of Commons to get, I don't know, his monthly stipend from the Canadian government or whatever we're doing there.

00:34:33.100 All that aside, he gets pushed out as someone who fought against Russians.

00:34:39.100 And so everybody claps like train seals.

00:34:42.100 And now we've got an international absolute disaster on our hands.

00:34:47.100 I can't wait to see what happens with the state of Israel when everybody comes to Yom Kippur later on today.

00:34:53.100 I imagine there'll be lots of horrible things said about Canada, deservedly so. 0.87

00:34:58.100 But I think that is that's where we are on this issue.

00:35:02.100 Everybody should have known better.

00:35:04.100 I think some people probably did know better.

00:35:06.100 Krista Freeland.

00:35:07.100 Fraulein Freeland.

00:35:10.100 Fraulein Freeland, as Ezra calls her.

00:35:13.100 And Karina Gould, by the way.

00:35:15.100 But we'll get to her in a bit.

00:35:17.100 Let's show the international disaster in real time.

00:35:21.100 Wow.

00:35:23.100 We have here in the chamber today Ukrainian Canadians, Ukrainian Canadian world veteran from the Second World War,

00:35:31.100 who fought the Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today, even at his age of 98.

00:35:40.100 Thank you.

00:35:41.100 Thank you.

00:35:42.100 Thank you, everyone.

00:35:43.100 Thank you.

00:35:44.100 Thank you, everyone.

00:35:47.100 His name is Yaroslav Hunka.

00:36:14.760 And I was going to say he's in the gallery, but I think you beat me to that.

00:36:20.860 But I'm very proud to say that he is from North Bay and from my riding of Nipissing to Miskiming.

00:36:32.600 He's a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service.

00:36:38.340 Thank you.

00:36:41.740 You know what, Sheila, I just want to point out.

00:36:44.420 Wait, sorry, they thanked him for his service.

00:36:47.820 His service during World War II was part of an elite, brutal kill squad where the members enjoyed stealing themselves against human suffering.

00:37:02.160 Look at, he's sweeping the, he's like, wow, I thought the Mossad were going to get me 60 years ago.

00:37:07.600 But here I am in the House of Commons being celebrated.

00:37:12.620 Look at this.

00:37:13.740 What an absolute joke of a country we are at this point.

00:37:17.820 Look at it.

00:37:18.800 I can't even believe what I'm seeing.

00:37:20.360 Like, and you can tell, sorry, Speaker of the House, Anthony Roda, as he's reading that speech,

00:37:25.040 about 20 seconds in, he starts to do the math and keeps going anyway.

00:37:30.700 When he's like, oh, he, he fought the Russians.

00:37:33.960 And then he sort of pauses and keeps going.

00:37:36.960 That's exactly the point I wanted to bring up when it comes to Anthony Roda, I mean, Roda,

00:37:42.540 mentioning that he fought the Russians and he said in World War II.

00:37:49.000 So to your original point, Sheila, wait a minute.

00:37:52.320 That means he was fighting against one of our allies.

00:37:55.040 If you said he was fighting against the Russians in the Cold War or when Russia went in to invade

00:38:00.780 Afghanistan in 1980, well, that's a different kettle of fish. 1.00

00:38:06.040 But he's given the chronology.

00:38:09.420 Russia were good guys, at least until the war ended in 1945. 0.97

00:38:14.220 And everyone's clapping.

00:38:16.400 So did everyone in the House of Commons fail history?

00:38:19.600 The other thing, Sheila, I want to get to is that surely, and I'm not sure what the protocol is,

00:38:26.000 but I'm sure it exists, that you have somebody coming into the House of Commons.

00:38:30.640 That person is vetted, especially when you have the prime minister in the House and a foreign head of state

00:38:40.560 who, as we all know, is maybe the number one assassination target in the world right now.

00:38:47.440 And you're telling me this guy wasn't triple and quadruple vetted?

00:38:54.120 And I don't believe, Sheila, that no one else knew about his baggage other than Anthony Rota.

00:39:02.700 An apology is not enough.

00:39:04.800 And by the way, when we hear Blackface apologize, 0.80

00:39:08.080 is it going to be one of these deals that it's been a learning experience for all of us?

00:39:13.440 No, not for us, for you.

00:39:15.640 And also, Sheila, once upon a time, I remember in yesterdecade,

00:39:19.500 it doesn't happen anymore in the last 20 years,

00:39:23.340 somebody in government that was responsible for this fiasco would immediately fall on their sword.

00:39:31.080 They would issue their resignation, and that was just the way it was done.

00:39:35.680 But we know that Blackface cabinet ministers never, ever resign for anything,

00:39:42.140 and they always give a half-hearted apology.

00:39:46.200 As I said earlier, it's a learning experience for all of us.

00:39:51.780 So here's the deal.

00:39:53.540 Well, you're right, internationally, this is, talk about hunker is the word,

00:40:00.900 because we got a hunker, hunker, hunker amount of egg on our faces as Canadians and as for Canada.

00:40:07.080 And as I said earlier, Russia couldn't be happier.

00:40:12.360 Remember, Sheila, one of their objectives in invading Ukraine is what they call de-Nazification of Ukraine.

00:40:22.380 Now, maybe that's an exaggeration.

00:40:24.500 There's Nazis hiding under every Ukrainian rock, you know, or not.

00:40:31.740 However, when Canada brings into the House of Commons a bona fide Nazi to honor him with a standing ovation of every party,

00:40:42.080 Russia is, I'll tell you what I would do if I'm Putin, I would go, 0.98

00:40:45.700 you see, Nazis everywhere, this is what's emboldening us to invade Ukraine.

00:40:52.540 This is an absolute disgrace.

00:40:56.440 This is, I mean, you know, it's crazy, Sheila.

00:40:59.700 The India fiasco, the current India fiasco, that put Chinese electoral interference so far on the back burner,

00:41:08.860 you couldn't even see the steam anymore.

00:41:10.980 Now, India fiasco has been eclipsed by this, I'm going to call it Nazi gate. 0.98

00:41:17.720 And I don't know the way out of this mess for the government, but it begins with resignations.

00:41:25.380 That's how we start to unravel this, Sheila, not just an apology.

00:41:29.460 And by the way, Sheila, why is it the apologies I've seen so far?

00:41:33.700 They don't mention Hanka's name.

00:41:36.460 It's kind of, oh, you know, there was some guy that was in that.

00:41:39.580 Yeah, yeah.

00:41:40.320 Nazi.

00:41:41.520 Right?

00:41:42.240 His name is Hanka.

00:41:43.400 Yeah, why, assuming that's his real name, why don't they even have the transparency to name the individual in question?

00:41:52.640 Because just 48 hours ago, everybody was giving him a standing ovation.

00:41:57.560 You know, the Russians really are taking this as a propaganda win.

00:42:01.440 Oh, yeah.

00:42:01.900 They're saying it's outrageous that a Ukrainian man who served in one of Adolf Hitler's Waffen-SS units was presented to Canada's parliament last week as a hero.

00:42:16.360 They're not wrong, but this is a huge propaganda win for the Russians. 0.98

00:42:22.860 There's not a genocide air that Justin Trudeau won't cozy up to.

00:42:26.680 Have you noticed that?

00:42:27.520 Like, between China and actual Nazis, like, think about how few members of the Waffen-SS are still alive.

00:42:37.320 And like I said during the morning staff call, this guy should have ended up strangled on an Argentinian beach 60 years ago.

00:42:43.820 And it should have been labeled a stroke.

00:42:47.740 But think about how few of them left living there are.

00:42:52.640 And somehow Justin Trudeau and his people managed to find one and trot him out in front of the parliament.

00:43:00.420 But this is the same government that called truckers, crypto-Nazis, honk-honk was a dog whistle for the Nazis, thanks to Yara Sachs saying that.

00:43:13.200 Another international embarrassment, by the way.

00:43:15.080 Yep.

00:43:15.260 That if you are a vaccine skeptic, if you're like, yeah, but I just, I don't believe in vaccine passports, you're a Nazi.

00:43:23.600 If you're a member of the men's drinking club, the Proud Boys, you're a Nazi on a terrorist watch list.

00:43:30.940 But somehow a member of one of Hitler's kill squads ends up in the House of Commons and everyone's like, he's a hero.

00:43:39.100 He fought the Germans.

00:43:41.480 Imagine hating, or he fought the Russians.

00:43:44.680 Imagine hating the Russians so much that you're siding with the Nazis because that's what just happened in the House of Commons.

00:43:50.860 Once again, Justin Trudeau and his Liberals have made Canada the international laughingstock,

00:44:01.900 this time by bringing a member of the Waffen-SS Nazi death squad to Canada to give him a standing ovation in the House of Commons.

00:44:12.240 To call on the man responsible, Anthony Roda, the Speaker of the House of Commons, to resign or be fired,

00:44:19.580 please visit FireRota.com.

00:44:34.220 Hey, welcome back.

00:44:35.420 Your letters to me.

00:44:36.680 The first on the United Nations Foreign Censorship Treaty.

00:44:40.200 Mr. Mr. Jarek says,

00:44:41.700 In a digital economy, who owns and controls your digital identity and the algorithms that define your existence,

00:44:47.880 your access or prevention of access to information?

00:44:50.400 It is essential that we have a digital bill of human rights that allow for free speech and freedom from reach,

00:44:56.120 of influence from corporate or political agendas.

00:45:00.060 Yeah, good luck with that.

00:45:02.020 I mean, it's like the terms of service.

00:45:04.420 They basically take all of your rights.

00:45:06.620 I mean, if you look at the terms of service for TikTok or Instagram or Facebook, you'll be shocked.

00:45:11.280 You give them an unlimited license to use your content for whatever purpose they want.

00:45:16.940 Everything you write, everything you type, every photo you upload, even if you don't make it public,

00:45:21.300 you give them the rights to.

00:45:23.060 That's your rights.

00:45:24.820 Do you ever read the terms of service?

00:45:26.720 My guess is you have given away everything.

00:45:28.960 And I'm not saying this to criticize you.

00:45:30.800 I've obviously done it too.

00:45:32.120 Oh, here's the next letter.

00:45:36.840 Elementary psychology.

00:45:38.500 Trudeau gets asked a question and can't even look in the questioner's eyes while answering.

00:45:42.860 Plus, JT's lips were moving.

00:45:44.460 Ezra, correction.

00:45:45.620 Ukraine doesn't respect us more.

00:45:47.020 They just like the monies donated.

00:45:49.540 You're asking about my question.

00:45:51.900 Can you name any country with whom relations are better today than when Trudeau took over?

00:45:56.960 I had suggested Ukraine and Cuba, but I'm not even sure if that's true.

00:46:00.840 Bill 4570 says, great work, Rebel team.

00:46:05.800 You're looking good, Mr. Levant.

00:46:07.020 Must be all the fighting you're doing for Canada.

00:46:09.040 Thanks and keep it up.

00:46:09.900 We appreciate it.

00:46:11.080 Well, last week was such a busy week.

00:46:13.980 We really were fighting in one court or another almost every day.

00:46:18.120 This week, the news all happened on the weekend.

00:46:20.360 The crazy stuff happened on Friday, but I was so distracted by the noisy protests and then by Trudeau's sort of unhinged speech.

00:46:27.360 I didn't notice that little detail of the Nazi and it took me till like 1 a.m. on Saturday night to notice it.

00:46:34.680 But I think we had a role in forcing that through because my tweets on that seriously got 3 million views on Saturday night, which is incredible because I was tweeting at like 1 a.m.

00:46:45.660 I'm not sure if this story would have broken through in the mainstream media if it weren't for independent media.

00:46:51.940 I think the entire establishment was either in on it or just totally in curious.

00:46:58.240 You can understand why Trudeau thought he would get away with it.

00:47:00.640 I mean, he got away with it when he met Andrei Melnick in Kiev.

00:47:04.280 Chrystia Freeland got away with everything she's gotten away with.

00:47:06.980 They just simply pushed their luck too far, I think.

00:47:10.620 Well, that's our show for today.

00:47:12.380 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
