00:00:55.180 Ezra LeVant Show. 0.96

00:00:56.180 Shame on you, you censorious thug! 0.94

00:01:11.860 Well a part of the ideological war against us is to destroy the past, I mean that's what 0.89

00:01:18.820 1984 was about in part, remember what the hero of that novel did.

00:01:23.460 Winston Smith was his name, is he worked in the Ministry of Truth, and his job was to take old

00:01:28.600 newspapers and cut out stories and replace historical stories. This was written in the

00:01:34.980 40s when there was no such thing as the internet, so the way you preserved memory was in newspapers,

00:01:41.400 and Winston Smith's job was to change history by cutting out and destroying old newspapers.

00:01:48.040 The saying was, if you control the past, if you control the present, you control the past. If

00:01:53.300 you control the past, you control the future. We're doing that in Canada. Of course, tearing

00:01:58.540 down statues is a form of destroying the past, controlling the past, because it confuses people

00:02:04.980 as to who we are and where we came from. That's why they're going for the essential symbols

00:02:09.640 of the country, tearing down statues of Sir John A. Macdonald, even of Queen Victoria that was

00:02:14.880 toppled outside the Manitoba legislature. I see there's news out of Quebec. I think they're

00:02:19.400 toppling a Champlain statue. Nothing is allowed to stand. They're tearing down our history.

00:02:25.680 I think one thing that I think of all the time is they took Sir Johnny MacDonald off the $10 bill 0.69

00:02:30.820 and they put on it a woman who was a very nice lady, but she had such a trivial role in Canadian

00:02:37.120 history. Really just one moment and then she left for the United States. I'm talking about a black 0.98

00:02:42.480 civil rights activist who in one instance was asked to pay an extra tax to sit in a different

00:02:49.900 part of the of the theater and obviously she was mistreated but that does not make her a great

00:02:56.440 canadian on par with the founder of the country who was stripped off the bill for her they changed

00:03:03.140 the anthem they changed the images in the passport they changed well you don't even say the lord's

00:03:08.320 prayer anymore i don't think most people even know what it is let alone the national anthem

00:03:12.060 That's my point I talk about sometimes about Alberta independent supporters are actually, in some ways, bigger patriots than the Federalists.

00:03:21.160 Because if you're for Canada and the Canadian establishment and the Canadian status quo, what you're really saying is, yeah, tear down history.

00:03:29.660 Acknowledge that there's been a genocide.

00:03:32.660 Start calling it Turtle Island.

00:03:36.180 Erase our past.

00:03:37.280 If that is the option that Federalist Canadians are presenting to Albertans, it's no wonder that so many good people are for independence.

00:03:48.380 In some ways, I hate the naming, the renaming the most.

00:03:52.740 And that's what I want to talk about today. 1.00

00:03:54.320 I mean, Sankofa Square in Toronto is one of the stupidest. 0.88

00:03:58.260 it was renamed it used to be called young dundas square but because dundas was not fast enough in 0.98

00:04:05.060 his goals for abolition of slavery by the way there really was no slavery in canada other than

00:04:10.200 by some indigenous peoples they've renamed it they've stripped the name dundas even though he

00:04:15.800 was a reformist an abolitionist helped end slavery and replaced it with the name no one had ever heard

00:04:21.520 called Sankofa Square, which the Sankofa tribe in Africa were actually up to their eyeballs in

00:04:28.860 capturing and selling slaves. Perhaps the stupidest name change in the country, but we've seen 0.97

00:04:33.980 in British Columbia that they're renaming streets and places all the time, and it's so obvious that 0.98

00:04:40.500 they're renaming them to make them unpronounceable, unwritable, on purpose. It's designed to be a

00:04:47.840 stone in your shoe. It's designed to be an irritant. It's designed to be the opposite

00:04:52.060 of reconciliation. Here, take a look at this video on how to pronounce new made-up words

00:04:57.600 with made-up letters. You can't even spell these things.

00:05:03.840 The name of the new bridge is Stalo Awesome. Stalo Awesome. Stalo Awesome. Stalo Awesome.

00:05:11.520 The first letter is S, as in the word sit in English, which makes a ssss sound.

00:05:18.520 The next letter is a T. It makes the sound t.

00:05:22.520 An A in Hunt Kaminem is always pronounced like the A in the English word father.

00:05:28.520 It makes the sound aw. 0.63

00:05:31.520 The next letter is a glottalized L.

00:05:34.520 oh the next two letters together are schwa and a glottalized w which make an o sound the next

00:05:43.720 letter is an a it makes the sound ah the s is the same as the first s it makes the sounds

00:05:50.280 the next letter schwa it makes the sound ah the next letter is an m and it makes the sound

00:05:57.080 all of that together makes the name for the new bridge being stallo awesome stallo awesome

00:06:03.720 stallo awesome stallo awesome stallo awesome well there's a name that is going to be changed in the

00:06:11.320 city of kingston ontario indian road and the cbc is pretty excited about him they've been whipping

00:06:19.240 up anti-indian road fever for a while let me read from their story they say indian road in kingston

00:06:25.000 ontario to be named ackee road local city councilors said residents rejected replacements oh

00:06:32.440 Oh, so why was it done if the people who lived on it liked it, admired it, looked up to Indians?

00:06:39.240 That's a bit of a quaint term, but they loved it.

00:06:43.140 And it's been that way for a very long time.

00:06:44.960 Let me read some of the story.

00:06:47.540 Indian Road in Kingston, Ontario will be renamed Aki Road after the Ojibwe word for land or earth.

00:06:54.340 City Council voted 8 to 5 in favor of the new name Tuesday night after voting to explore a change almost exactly one year earlier.

00:07:02.000 The decision also means Indian Road Park will be renamed Odamino Park, the Ojibwe word for play.

00:07:09.380 Some residents in the council representing them argued over the past year that the outgoing name held sentimental value and forcing a change was paternalistic.

00:07:18.420 In other words, the people who live on Indian Road love it and are proud of it, but some activists didn't like it and the CBC knows whose side they're on.

00:07:26.760 Let me quote this next part.

00:07:28.040 other community members spoke in support of Aki Road, roughly pronounced Aki during the meeting,

00:07:33.860 pointing out it's simple to say and spell. Hey, why don't they ever propose changing their own

00:07:39.240 street name? Why is it always someone else who has to pay the price? Quote, changing a road name

00:07:46.360 won't change history, but I think it's a clear signal to Indigenous folks that not only the city

00:07:51.380 cares, but council does too. And isn't that really all it's about? To prove you care. That's what

00:07:57.000 brandon miracle the executive director of the kingston native center and language nest he said

00:08:04.700 it in english though miracle who is kanyen keheheka you just got to look at how they're spelling that

00:08:12.360 you see what i mean about on purpose making it in in this case they're actually using english letters

00:08:17.580 but in other cases they use letters that you won't find on any keyboard he's from tyandanaga

00:08:22.540 Mohawk territory, began his delegation by introducing himself using his Indian registration

00:08:29.140 number. Well, that means he's registered Indian. I think that if you actually cared about changing

00:08:37.440 the status of Indians in this country, you would deal with the Indian Act, which is called the

00:08:42.980 Indian Act. It's not called the Indigenous Act or the Aboriginal Act, and it has different rights

00:08:47.980 or privileges based on your race. So if you actually cared about solving things and equality,

00:08:53.680 you would probably want to reform the Indian Act. But this fella is proud of it because it shows 1.00

00:08:58.660 that he has a certain status. And of course, that's how he earns a living. Canadian taxpayers

00:09:04.080 pay for him to basically be a scold. Let me keep reading. The local alderman has surveyed this

00:09:10.980 issue several times over the past year. And he said, residents feel unheard and are especially

00:09:15.420 frustrated by the process that led up to the change. They're angry, and they're only building

00:09:19.820 resentment. He said, I don't think this is a step in the right direction. So this is Mahoney,

00:09:24.240 who went up and down the street, and people said, well, we love the name. We love being on Indian

00:09:27.740 Street. Mahoney also took aim at a claim that the majority of people on the street wanted a new name,

00:09:32.640 which was suggested during a council meeting last year. He said, that's far from the truth.

00:09:37.760 Let me show you a CTV video that I think was more balanced than the CBC propaganda.

00:09:44.300 And hey, let me play about a minute and a half of this for you.

00:09:47.520 Take a look. 1.00

00:09:48.440 The renaming of Indian Road is something Jennifer Lamb disagrees with.

00:09:53.260 They're taking away my home.

00:09:58.560 Been here so long.

00:10:00.640 She moved here 37 years ago and says at the time the name was meant to honour First Nations peoples.

00:10:07.380 But the name could change this week.

00:10:09.780 City Council will vote on that possibility in the coming days.

00:10:13.200 something many on the street say they do not want to see.

00:10:17.120 I have First Nations people in my family.

00:10:20.620 I have First Nations friends and it's an honorarium to who they are.

00:10:26.800 And they are strong people, eclectic people, people that are talented.

00:10:33.340 It's a waste of time, it's a waste of money.

00:10:35.340 The area councillor says he conducted a survey and found the majority of the residents

00:10:39.380 do not want the name changed, with 85% of respondents rejecting all four alternative

00:10:45.040 Indigenous names.

00:10:46.400 There are ways to change things, and that's what democracy is about. 0.99

00:10:50.580 I've done three surveys of this entire neighborhood, or this entire street, and the numbers don't

00:10:55.880 suggest that we should be changing this.

00:10:57.680 So should they change the name, is the word Indian so odious that it needs to be changed

00:11:03.880 over the wishes of the people who live there?

00:11:06.100 and you saw that lady said she loves the word indian she has indian or indigenous relatives

00:11:12.560 they have fine qualities and she doesn't think anything's embarrassing or negative but imagine

00:11:18.260 that you want to live on indian street you're proud of living on indian street and someone who

00:11:24.240 you don't know who has no connection to the street says you're basically racist for saying so and

00:11:29.560 they're going to change it you know uh it's been a while since i've interviewed my favorite indian

00:11:34.540 chief, Chief Clarence Louie, the Asoyas Indian Band, the most successful band in the country,

00:11:39.320 by far the most entrepreneurial. And I haven't seen him, frankly, it's been years. But

00:11:45.280 whenever I did see him, and it was from time to time, he was always wearing Indian brand

00:11:51.440 motorcycle gear. And I think he had an Indian brand motorcycle. It's a brand like Harley Davidson,

00:11:57.280 but it's super cool. It's a little bit of a collector's item. And the branding and their

00:12:02.400 logos are awesome and he obviously liked that not just because he likes motorcycles but because

00:12:08.920 it's indian and he loved such an amazing piece of technology and art having the word indian and 0.71

00:12:17.300 you know i chief clarence louis isn't like a fake indian whose job is to be angry all the time

00:12:23.300 and get people to change their roads his job is to lift up his people with high employment

00:12:27.720 It reminds me of the debate about a decade ago over the Washington Redskins.

00:12:32.640 They're no longer called the Redskins.

00:12:34.220 They're called the Washington Commanders now.

00:12:37.440 But the Washington Post, which is about as left-wing as you get in terms of mainstream media,

00:12:43.260 they did a massive poll of Native Americans, as they like to say,

00:12:48.040 and nine out of ten were not offended by the word Redskins,

00:12:54.360 Which is, frankly, if you would think it would be an edgier term than the word Indians.

00:12:58.640 Let me read the headline.

00:12:59.820 New poll finds 9 in 10 Native Americans aren't offended by Redskins name.

00:13:05.520 They wanted to keep it.

00:13:07.080 In fact, many sports teams are named after Indians in some way or other Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves.

00:13:15.220 You don't name sports teams after things you don't like.

00:13:19.120 You name them after things that you have qualities that you admire, strength, speed, courage, bravery, solidarity.

00:13:29.360 My high school in Calgary, the Western Canada High School, it was called the Western Redmen.

00:13:35.760 And you looked up to the Redmen.

00:13:38.680 No one names a sport team after something you look down on.

00:13:43.240 They spent an enormous amount of money destroying that tradition.

00:13:46.300 You know, I often wonder how would I feel if a really cool brand or a really cool sports

00:13:53.460 team was called, and bear with me here, the Jews, you know, like the Redskins or the Indians

00:14:01.340 or the Braves.

00:14:02.620 How would I feel about that?

00:14:05.060 What if there was a Jew brand motorcycle that was super cool, like Indian brand?

00:14:10.940 I mean, that is an amazing machine.

00:14:13.060 Well, there actually is. There are a couple of sports teams in Tottenham Hotspurs and the football team in Amsterdam, Ajax, Ajax is how it's spelt in English.

00:14:24.980 They have a nickname, the Jews, and it's for various reasons. They were in a near a Jewish part of town.

00:14:31.880 This was in the 30s before three quarters of the Jews in Amsterdam were murdered by Hitler.

00:14:36.420 um but it was a jewish neighborhood and some of the uh the a lot of the fans were jewish

00:14:44.840 and it was just one of the nicknames the jews and it was the their nickname the jews which

00:14:51.480 continued on well in some ways to this day was the subject of a documentary movie in 2013

00:14:58.740 before the current anti-semitic wave watch the first 30 seconds or so of this and they're chanting

00:15:07.360 the jews the super jews the whole stadium and they are not jewish and they're not expressing

00:15:14.120 a religious or theological view that's the nickname of the team they're proud of it

00:15:19.000 and i don't know if i was in amsterdam and week after week tens of thousands of people were

00:15:27.060 chanting go Jews get them Jews I would think it's sort of cool I've just never seen anything like

00:15:32.800 that take a look 0.97

00:15:33.720 Yoda! Yoda! Yoda! Yoda!

00:15:55.400 Well, because being on a team that's successful is a source of pride and belonging. That's why

00:16:02.160 people wear sports jerseys that aren't their name on the back. I mean, why would you wear another

00:16:08.860 man's uniform? Why would you do that? Well, because you want the connection, you want the 1.00

00:16:14.080 solidarity, you want to show people who you're with. And having the best team in the Netherlands

00:16:21.660 called the Jews, even though that's just their nickname, it's an enormous source of pride and

00:16:26.160 feeling of community, especially in anti-Semitic times. And I think that's one of the reasons why

00:16:31.220 euro leftists want to kick out jews from soccer or as they call it football leagues that's why

00:16:36.900 they tried to ban the israeli team from playing in birmingham a few months ago when i went to

00:16:41.740 cover that that's why uh ireland wants to ban uh israel from playing in different matches

00:16:47.760 they're trying to destroy that sense of community i tell you what

00:16:51.200 if you're worried about indian road or indian street or indian avenue or the clint cleveland

00:16:58.000 indians or the indian band motorcycle i'm gonna say i don't believe you i'm gonna say you're only

00:17:05.920 doing it because you get grants for doing so and you get clicks and you like to stir things up

00:17:11.520 and then posit yourself as part of the solution if you get rid of the indian act that has the 0.99

00:17:19.380 word indian right there if you get rid of all of its race-based laws then i'll believe you

00:17:25.820 that you actually care. Stay with us for more. 1.00

00:17:38.120 Even before Rebel News was born 11 years ago, we were aware of the rape gang scandal,

00:17:44.960 sometimes called the grooming gang scandal, but grooming sounds too polite. It's not what it is.

00:17:50.840 it is the systematic abuse, rape, mass rape of predominantly white working class British girls by 1.00

00:17:58.420 predominantly Pakistani Muslim men in the UK. That sounds so odd. That sounds so impossible, 0.99

00:18:06.620 but it is the statistical truth. But it's so dangerous to say that. Here's Majid Nawaz,

00:18:13.020 a Muslim Pakistani Brit, saying that because people are so terrified of being called racist,

00:18:19.260 they turned a blind eye to rapists here take a look at them say so for too long in this country

00:18:25.200 uh we media the establishment society the chattering classes the liberal elite whatever

00:18:32.860 term you want to use have ignored the issue of grooming gangs of young vulnerable teenage girls

00:18:39.440 who have been victimized drugged and raped and abused whether it's the rotherham case or all

00:18:46.200 the other cases that were replicated across the country. It is both the conclusion of the

00:18:50.940 prosecutor in the Rotherham case, British, Pakistani, Muslim, Nazir Afzal, or indeed the

00:18:56.860 official inquiry into why it took so long for these young, vulnerable, underage girls to get

00:19:02.780 justice. Both of those concluded that fears of racism prevented us from coming to the defence

00:19:09.500 of vulnerable underage girls. Fears of racism meaning that the state was scared that it would

00:19:16.780 be accused of being racist if it rightly arrested and prosecuted British Pakistani largely, British

00:19:23.860 Pakistani Muslim men in their abuse of underage white teenage girls. And so from fear of appearing

00:19:34.220 racist, there was a silence across the country as multiple cases of grooming gangs emerged

00:19:42.000 up and down the country, as evidenced now due to multiple prosecutions, successful prosecutions,

00:19:49.260 but sadly and unfortunately too late.

00:19:51.340 If we hadn't all been silent, if we had all addressed this issue head on when it needed

00:19:57.860 to be addressed, when it was time to address it, then the void would not have emerged for

00:20:04.300 the populist agitators to fill that gap and become popular, actually, as a result of addressing

00:20:11.160 what is a legitimate issue. They ended up hijacking what should have been the concern

00:20:16.540 of every right-minded citizen in this country. And unfortunately, it takes a bit of courage

00:20:24.300 to address something that people will hurl abuse at you for talking about.

00:20:28.940 Well, brave people like Tommy Robinson have been talking about it for more than a decade,

00:20:33.260 and we've been covering the story. But finally, a member of parliament who was

00:20:37.860 fed up with waiting for the establishment to have an official inquiry. His name is Rupert Lowe,

00:20:44.100 and he's part of Restore UK, the political party. Well, he crowdfunded hundreds of thousands of

00:20:50.940 pounds to put on a very formal investigation and inquiry. And yesterday he published the absolutely

00:20:57.820 terrifying and outrageous report of this. Joining us now to talk about this report and the larger

00:21:04.740 phenomenon is our friend Peter McElvenna, who's the host of Hearts of Oak podcast. And he's the

00:21:10.500 chief of staff to the peer, the British member of the House of Lords, Lord Pearson of Rannock,

00:21:18.060 who has been a lonely voice on this issue in the Lord's.

00:21:21.740 Peter, great to see you. Thanks for joining us.

00:21:24.380 Ezra, it's always a pleasure to join you. Thank you so much.

00:21:27.000 Thank you for saying that. It's a very dark subject matter.

00:21:30.120 It is terrifying to read. It's too heavy to read.

00:21:34.580 And one can only imagine the burden to have been a victim of it.

00:21:39.100 And according to Rupert Lowe's inquiry, an approximate 250,000 British girls have been raped in this rape jihad.

00:21:51.280 Tell us about it.

00:21:52.760 Well, and that figure, 250,000, was a figure from Lord Pearson of Rannock, actually, in the House of Lords.

00:21:58.980 And he went through the stats that he was getting and extrapolated the figures from Rotherham and Telford and Rochdale,

00:22:07.020 which are these English cities

00:22:09.160 that have been decimated by this

00:22:11.180 and he said look there are at least

00:22:12.780 250,000 girls that have been affected

00:22:15.240 then you look at Sarah Champion

00:22:17.420 who's a member

00:22:19.260 of parliament for

00:22:20.940 Rochdale

00:22:22.640 a Labour member of parliament

00:22:24.840 so someone on the left

00:22:26.320 and in an interview with the British

00:22:28.820 newspaper the Daily Mirror

00:22:30.820 probably five years ago she said

00:22:32.980 up to one million girls

00:22:34.860 have been affected so these

00:22:36.880 are huge figures that is very difficult for us to comprehend and i saw with football season or

00:22:43.420 soccer season i saw some people on x had posted pictures of the stadiums where the world cup will

00:22:50.720 be held and said well you can put 60 000 in some of these stadiums four times that four stadiums

00:22:57.740 full of girls and you begin to get an idea of what has happened in the uk for well over 50 years so

00:23:05.740 So that's kind of a depressing but visual way of putting what has happened over the UK in 50 years.

00:23:13.880 And actually, Rupert talks about he's had reports of this going back 70 years, back from 1955.

00:23:21.540 I've certainly read reports from 1975 in local newspapers up in the north of England.

00:23:27.400 But with his research, he's looked and found reports and convictions of groups of Pakistani Muslim men raping white English girls from as early as 1955.

00:23:42.180 So this is, I thought it was 55 years, 56 years.

00:23:47.420 Rupert Lue was saying this actually could be 75 plus years.

00:23:52.120 And that is an even darker part on this.

00:23:54.880 you know i want to talk more about the report but i just want to explain for our north american

00:24:00.420 viewers because there's something that took me a while to understand and i don't think it presents

00:24:06.740 itself to the anglo mind which is i'm going to say something outrageous and atrocious right now but 0.92

00:24:13.440 but this is understand this is what a rape gang is i i don't think that anyone amongst us in the west 0.97

00:24:20.560 could say hey let's call up several of our friends and let us together rape a child 0.91

00:24:28.860 like it's unthinkable not only would you no one not in your friend your family would turn you in 0.99

00:24:35.200 you would your friends would turn it's so appalling that's so contrary to our high trust

00:24:40.600 society but that is the essential definition of a rape gang is it's a group of men acting together

00:24:48.920 often family like father son brother cousin and they all are are from a clan i suppose you could 0.99

00:24:59.300 say a pakistani clan and they rape these white girls systematically night after night after night 0.99

00:25:05.920 by compromising them by blackmailing them by getting them hooked on drugs and alcohol 0.98

00:25:10.780 let me tell you one quick anecdote before i throw it back to you this is actually from pakistan

00:25:15.700 itself which i think explains there's a different culture here i read a story it was actually one

00:25:22.000 of the most popular uh stories i ever wrote in the toronto sun there was a bus driving through

00:25:28.640 pakistan this is a horrific story for any of those with a weak constitution and there was a boy in

00:25:33.180 the back and the men in the back of the bus started to rape the boy the bus driver pulled over

00:25:38.880 and joined in and and that was reported fairly widely and i actually

00:25:45.980 reported that story in the toronto sun it was deeply researched that's an insane mindset that

00:25:53.900 does not live in the west but if you have a predatory pack of wolves who are in it together

00:26:01.540 that is perhaps the best analogy what do you make of this and how do you fight this

00:26:07.180 in our system, Peter?

00:26:10.900 Well, you fight it by publicity.

00:26:14.260 That is the only way you fight this.

00:26:17.060 And what you're doing, Ezra, with so much with Rebel News,

00:26:22.360 that is what you do.

00:26:23.740 You educate the public.

00:26:24.840 You highlight the stories that no one else is willing to talk about.

00:26:27.680 And Rupert Lowe, in doing this, actually,

00:26:31.260 So we've had maybe 12 inquiries over the last, I don't know, 20-odd years on child sexual exploitation.

00:26:41.580 They refuse to talk about the specific issue that no one wants to deal with because they want to be called a racist or Islamophobe.

00:26:48.900 And he actually has been a thorn in the side to the UK government in a short time being a member of parliament. 0.87

00:26:56.120 Because of him, he has forced the UK government to have a national grooming gang inquiry or rape gang inquiry, as Rupert Lowe calls him, as rightly so. 0.98

00:27:07.360 Without Rupert Lowe as a single member of parliament, actually, we wouldn't have the government having this inquiry, which shows the impact that he has had. 1.00

00:27:18.040 But he said, if the government won't do one because of the time they wouldn't, I will do one.

00:27:22.060 And he had two weeks where he invited a lot of the girls, the survivors to give testimony, but whistleblowers also to give testimony, those in the police to give testimony, those in local authorities to give testimony, those in child services to give testimony and to get an idea of the impact of this.

00:27:42.940 So he had that for two weeks. He had some courageous members of parliament. He had Carla Lockhart, who's from Northern Ireland, the Democratic Unionist Party. He had Nick Timothy, who's a member of parliament for the Conservatives and has been the most vocal member of parliament on this issue.

00:28:01.560 Lord Pearce has been the most vocal in the House of Lords, the upper house.

00:28:05.960 But Nick Timothy, as a member of Parliament for the Conservative Party, has been the most vocal on this issue as a member of Parliament in the lower house.

00:28:15.560 And Rupert Lowe pulled a lot of these people together.

00:28:18.720 They heard this evidence and basically it's on five issues.

00:28:22.900 It's the crimes themselves.

00:28:25.260 Then it's the testimony of victims and survivors.

00:28:28.160 Then it goes in the institutional failures.

00:28:31.560 across the board. Then we have the demographic and cultural and religious issues that no one

00:28:37.700 wants to discuss. And he talked about between 87% and 95% of the perpetrators had Muslim names.

00:28:46.760 So you see where that is coming from. And then put in recommendations. And he put in a phenomenal

00:28:52.380 list of recommendations. And Ezra, frustratingly, when the government have done these investigations,

00:28:58.340 they've given a list of recommendations about the home office had 22 recommendations i think

00:29:03.240 not a single one was ever implemented and rupert loo is saying these are the recommendations i'm

00:29:10.140 handing them to you i'm saying this is what has to be done so he has done a phenomenal amount of work

00:29:17.020 not holding it back for himself but actually presenting all those findings to the government

00:29:22.460 to say, this is what you have to be, have to do. Sadly, the UK media have ignored this. And that's

00:29:29.300 why I'm honoured to be on with you, Ezra, because you highlight these issues where few do. So thank

00:29:36.940 you so much for what you do. Well, you're very kind. You know, we've worked in the past with

00:29:41.700 Tommy Robinson, of course, who really, this was his core issue for a decade. He was quite lonely

00:29:47.300 in that battle there were very few others so it's it's good to have a this kind of a report by the

00:29:52.880 way uh and sammy woodhouse of course who herself uh was a survivor of this uh and she's shown such

00:30:00.460 strength she was involved with rupert lowe it's so interesting you say that the mainstream media

00:30:05.780 in the uk has not picked it up because on twitter or now x as it's called it's been viewed millions

00:30:11.320 of times it's been shared widely online and i suspect that that is one of the reasons why

00:30:16.540 Keir Starmer the British Prime Minister who used to be in charge of criminal prosecutions he was

00:30:21.900 the head of something called the Crown Prosecution Service basically the top law enforcer of the

00:30:27.920 country and he turned a blind eye to so much of this because the Labour Party has traditionally

00:30:32.720 been allied with Pakistani Muslim voters so I think that an enormous factor here is freedom

00:30:42.960 of speech online which is why elon musk is public enemy number one to the british establishment

00:30:48.720 because he and by the way he has shown some affection towards rupert lowe individually

00:30:53.500 i think that this story has been killed historically because the establishment media

00:31:00.300 wanted it to die but now it's an internet-based story and i think it might have some success what

00:31:05.720 do you think oh i agree and the funny thing you mentioned elon musk and how he's amplified this

00:31:12.620 issue and tommy robinson was just arrested days ago coming back to uk because he met with errol

00:31:19.180 musk elon musk's father over in russia and you kind of get to see the fear that the establishment

00:31:27.580 have on the power of social media and the power of alternative media in amplifying this voice and

00:31:34.420 you're right that rupert lowe is a maverick um in the house of commons lord pearson is a maverick

00:31:41.600 in the house of lords and elon musk is a maverick in terms of the business world and what he has

00:31:47.600 done and the establishment fear these mavericks that don't care as much about themselves as they

00:31:55.120 care about the issue or the business or the idea that they are pushing forward and that is why

00:32:01.740 elon musk is to be feared by the establishment um but and tommy has been vocal on this for a long

00:32:09.420 time. It's intriguing how the British media have categorized this as a far-right issue.

00:32:17.220 In fact, so get this, as an example, I've been going through this report kind of yesterday

00:32:22.560 evening and today, and I've written a lot about it to try and understand the 219 pages,

00:32:29.020 but I simply put it into chat GBT just to kind of get its thoughts. And the initial thoughts was

00:32:36.000 it came up with a red line that I've never seen before and said that actually this was not

00:32:42.000 acceptable or it could not go further on this really so I went in I tried to explain this is

00:32:49.560 the background and then it begun to give me information but you see how this system is up

00:32:55.920 against the Cesar and you see this in everything that you cover and this is a key issue that you

00:33:01.480 You talk about this and you're told you cannot talk about it.

00:33:05.020 So not only on the establishment media, but actually on the developing media, on the IT side with AI, actually it fears talking about this because you bring in these topics of race, of religion, of ethnicity that no one is allowed to talk about. 0.97

00:33:24.760 And they always want to say, you know, they're more white English men that actually rape. 0.96

00:33:30.720 That is true. But when we look at this category of this group grooming, which is the most insidious, the most disgusting, the most horrendous, and with family members involved, as you touched on, actually, this is Muslim groups. 1.00

00:33:48.300 This is specifically Pakistani. 0.99

00:33:51.300 And that's what we've seen in terms of the arrests back from, I think, 95 was possibly the first arrest.

00:33:58.540 That's what we've seen up until now.

00:34:00.960 But yet the establishment want to turn this into anything else. 0.99

00:34:06.620 And, of course, back in the days, it was the Sikhs.

00:34:09.880 It was the Sikh Defense League that actually highlighted this issue.

00:34:13.840 Because Sikh girls were targeted too, which was an interesting cultural dynamic.

00:34:18.780 The targets were white girls and Sikh girls.

00:34:21.480 As far as I know, not a single Muslim girl has ever been targeted by these gangs.

00:34:26.180 Let me, I know you've got to go in just a couple minutes, but the Rotherham case, Rotherham

00:34:30.660 is sort of a community in northern England, about a quarter million people in the larger

00:34:34.240 Rotherham area.

00:34:35.460 So do the math, about 125,000 women, and then do the math on how many are between certain 1.00

00:34:40.720 ages.

00:34:41.220 1,400 girls were raped in Rotherham over a period of time and of a very narrow age.

00:34:50.260 I'm talking about minor girls, I think as young as nine.

00:34:54.860 And there finally was, and this went on for years.

00:34:58.280 And how could it be covered up by everyone from social workers to police to doctors to politicians?

00:35:04.080 And there was actually an inquiry about it.

00:35:06.140 You can find it online.

00:35:06.980 This was an official government inquiry.

00:35:08.600 and if you use the search and find function on your keyboard to search for the word racist

00:35:14.780 you'll see it come up time and again when frontline staff when social workers when nurses

00:35:20.460 were asked why didn't you do anything i was afraid of being called racist and the police

00:35:26.260 there was one insane case of a woman who pulled her daughter out of uh uh being raped took her

00:35:33.860 to the police and the police said she's drunk leave now or we'll charge you with uh you know

00:35:40.060 being a reckless parent i mean it was the entire system sided with the rapists and any i know you've

00:35:49.140 got to go peter so i'll just offer you the last word you mentioned the boycott of this story by

00:35:54.860 the mainstream media i know gb news which is sort of some call it the fox news of the uk

00:36:00.120 they covered it well have you seen any coverage of the same the bbc or in the large dailies and

00:36:06.580 if so what does it look like do you expect to break down that wall and have them cover it or

00:36:10.580 are they just going to pretend it doesn't exist well gb news really been the only one and charlie

00:36:16.000 peters one of the the reporters for gb news has been fantastic on this issue and you mentioned

00:36:22.440 rotherham which is one town and the headlines were that 1400 girls had been affected in that

00:36:29.400 And that is one town. The report that Rupert has done talks about 149 constituencies or local authorities. To put that into context, there are about 380 local authorities, which is how the UK has divided up in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

00:36:49.000 So 40% of those local areas have had this issue happening.

00:36:54.980 That is how prevalent it is not just in one area, it is across the board.

00:37:00.580 And that, I think, is one of the key findings of the inquiry that Rupert has done to say this is not a specific area.

00:37:08.100 You cannot just say this was some dodgy politicians or some dangerous local individuals or a rogue mosque.

00:37:16.460 No, this is across the board and therefore cannot be dismissed as a regional issue.

00:37:23.200 But GB News being the only one to highlight it, the others actually have focused on attacking Rupert Lowe because we have got a by-election coming up just in a day.

00:37:33.620 And that's probably the most consequential by-election in the UK for decades.

00:37:38.360 and Restore Rupert Lowe's party are running in that.

00:37:43.460 And he's been the target of attacks from a lot of the media.

00:37:47.380 So the media have spent their time attacking Rupert Lowe as an individual

00:37:52.540 and therefore attacking this inquiry and not championing it.

00:37:56.360 And why on earth would you not actually put the findings on the front page

00:38:00.600 of every newspaper in the UK today?

00:38:03.560 It should have been, and yet it's not.

00:38:05.960 So sadly, it's not.

00:38:07.580 And that goes back, again, Ezra, to why you and rebel media are so vital in this fight for freedoms worldwide.

00:38:16.060 Well, you're very kind to say that about Rebel News.

00:38:18.360 Of course, the battle, the front line, is in the UK.

00:38:20.720 And I know you have a podcast and we've met lots of citizen journalists over the years.

00:38:25.100 I suppose I'll conclude by saying if you're part of the regime, if you're part of the media, political, industrial complex in the UK, and you ignored the actual rapes, well, of course you're going to ignore a report.

00:38:37.580 on the actual rapes i mean you you ignored the first the actual thing so why wouldn't you ignore

00:38:42.980 people talking about the thing and i'm worried that that is coming to canada too and i think

00:38:48.360 there's early indications of it peter great to see you thank you so much for the time all the

00:38:54.160 best to lord pearson who has been championing this issue for many years as a lonely voice

00:38:59.700 in the house of lords all the best to you and keep up the fight thank you ezra right on there

00:39:05.000 is Peter McIlvenna. You can watch him on his show called Hearts of Oak. Stay with us. Your letters

00:39:10.360 to me next. Hey, welcome back. A couple of letters on the Alberta lawn signs. Al Owen says one more

00:39:26.360 sign needed. Let's vote to get rid of Quebec. Well, you know what? Is there a reason why most 0.92

00:39:33.640 countries are smaller than canada uh most countries are smaller than russia which is

00:39:38.500 actually the biggest country in the world and by the way russia has triple uh more than triple

00:39:43.400 our population um so uh and look how fractious it is you have dagestan you've got chechnya and

00:39:53.000 you've got saint petersburg you've got vladivostok uh it's i mean and it was even larger as the ussr

00:39:59.820 It just doesn't make sense to have such enormous countries.

00:40:03.840 How can you have a country that properly and fairly mediates between Newfoundland, Quebec, and Alberta, between Ontario and the Yukon, between Iqaluit and Barrie, Ontario?

00:40:17.560 I put it to you that the enormity of the country geographically also, I think, speaks to the enormity of the divide culturally.

00:40:27.800 And of course, there's many similarities, but Quebec, by pretty much every measure, would normally be its own country, don't you think?

00:40:37.760 Next letter, Odin Morningstar, no, not Ottawa takes, Alberta makes Ottawa takes, but Ottawa takes the Liberals take.

00:40:47.380 Getting pretty sick of always hearing that reference from channels.

00:40:50.540 We didn't all vote for the Liberals, and when you use Ottawa, you encompass all parties and fellow freedom fighters, so call it thusly the Liberal Party.

00:40:57.320 that's a good point and i've noted that myself when people blame ottawa they're blaming the city

00:41:03.040 but it's not just the city it's a mindset and it's often a political party so i hear what you're

00:41:07.880 saying well that's our show for today until tomorrow on behalf of all of us here at rebel

00:41:12.980 world headquarters to you at home good night and keep fighting for freedom
