Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Mark Carney rolls out the red carpet for Trump at G7

00:00:00.000 Tonight, Rebel News is in the heart of the G7 meeting in Alberta.

00:00:03.960 It's June 16th, and this is The Ezra LeVance Show.

00:00:06.840 You're ready for freedom! 0.55

00:00:09.760 Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.96

00:00:21.100 Hi, everybody. What a great weekend we had in Red Deer, Alberta.

00:00:24.920 If you were one of the 600-plus people who were there, nice to see you.

00:00:28.980 And if you weren't, well, hopefully you'll have a chance to attend one of our events elsewhere in the country.

00:00:34.000 It was a conference, day-long conference we had, about Alberta independence.

00:00:40.260 And Rebel News was sort of the big tent.

00:00:42.980 We hosted a range of voices, different political parties, different activists.

00:00:47.300 And to me, the highlight of the debate, of the event, was a debate between David Legge,

00:00:52.980 who was making the case for Alberta within Canada,

00:00:57.940 versus Keith Wilson, who was saying, no, we gotta go it alone.

00:01:03.000 And I really love the fact that Rebel News was hosting this whole large conversation.

00:01:08.040 You know Armato telling the other side of the story.

00:01:09.820 I think the regime media is extremely hostile to Alberta independence.

00:01:13.840 They have some real reasons, and mainly fake reasons.

00:01:17.200 They just don't like the West, and they don't like Western ideas,

00:01:20.200 and they're a little bit scared that Alberta actually goes,

00:01:23.020 and then who's gonna pay for all their welfare states. 1.00

00:01:25.480 So anyway, it was a really great get-together.

00:01:28.520 I think the referendum in Alberta is going to be the news story of 2026.

00:01:34.780 How could it not be?

00:01:35.560 I mean, if Quebec had a separation referendum,

00:01:39.400 that would dominate the news for a year, surely.

00:01:41.940 But Alberta is going to have one. 0.83

00:01:44.720 And actually, support for independence in Alberta is higher today

00:01:49.520 than support for independence in Quebec.

00:01:52.260 And I think Mark Carney is probably gonna make that even worse.

00:01:55.600 Here's a quick clip of some of the goings-on that we had in Red Deer on Saturday.

00:02:01.420 Thank you very much.

00:02:16.580 She's so small, though.

00:02:17.920 You can lose her in a bit of a hour.

00:02:21.020 Now, one of the news I just mentioned deserves, of course, more airtime,

00:02:25.600 a lot more airtime.

00:02:27.340 Well, as soon as we were done in Red Deer,

00:02:29.560 a part of our team, Sidney Fouzard, Angelica Toy, and Sheila Gunn-Reed,

00:02:34.040 were making their way down to Kananaskis country.

00:02:37.060 That's just west of Calgary.

00:02:39.360 That is where Canada is hosting this year's G7 Summit.

00:02:44.620 G7, as you know, used to be called the G8 when Russia was in it,

00:02:48.380 but Trudeau and others kicked him out.

00:02:51.940 These are sort of the seven.

00:02:53.720 They're not the largest economies in the world.

00:02:55.560 If they were, then India would be in there, and Canada probably wouldn't be. 0.99

00:03:00.220 But I call them sort of like the super friends.

00:03:02.460 It's Canada, the United States, UK.

00:03:06.360 It's not the whole allies like Australia and New Zealand are in there, Japan, Italy, Germany.

00:03:11.960 So it's sort of like they're super friends, and there's seven of them.

00:03:17.400 So every year they rotate to another one of those countries.

00:03:20.760 So the last time the G8, sorry, G7 was in Canada was in 2018.

00:03:25.140 So it's our turn again, so they're back.

00:03:27.420 So it's sort of a prestige event, and the countries sort of show off to the world.

00:03:34.240 And, of course, the government hates Rebel News, the Canadian government.

00:03:38.540 Those other governments don't mind us.

00:03:40.420 I mean, we've been accredited in the United States.

00:03:42.380 We've been accredited in the United Kingdom, in France.

00:03:45.720 It's only Canada that hates free speech.

00:03:49.320 So they tried to keep us out.

00:03:50.500 As you know, we had to rush to court in an emergency basis.

00:03:53.860 Right before trial, the government lawyer said, no, no, no, you guys can come in.

00:03:58.080 It was all a misunderstanding.

00:03:59.580 Our email wasn't working.

00:04:01.080 They literally said that.

00:04:02.840 But I think that they – I think they deceived the court when they said we could come in.

00:04:07.540 I think they're trying some shenanigans about keeping us out of the actual scrums.

00:04:13.160 So we're in, like, some big media holding area.

00:04:15.560 But I think they tricked the court.

00:04:17.100 I'm going to learn a little bit more about what they did.

00:04:19.380 If they did, I think we're going to go back to court and show the court that the government lied to them.

00:04:23.900 I don't have all my facts yet, so we'll figure it out.

00:04:26.320 But, of course, the content is more important than our battle to be there, although our battle to be there is important, too.

00:04:31.640 I want to show you a couple clips from today's proceedings.

00:04:35.620 I think Mark Carney is quite something.

00:04:38.400 Let me show you the slobbering welcome he gave to Donald Trump.

00:04:45.340 And you know me.

00:04:46.200 I'm Trump all the way.

00:04:47.760 I mean, we were for Trump in 2016, 2020, 2024.

00:04:52.180 We literally trademarked make Canada great again.

00:04:54.720 I mean, there is no one Trumpier in Canada than us.

00:04:58.260 But even to me, I mean, cool it, Mark Carney.

00:05:02.640 Get a room, you two.

00:05:04.200 Take a look at this.

00:05:05.180 Nostalgia isn't a strategy.

00:05:08.260 We have to change with the times and to build a better world.

00:05:12.240 And some of you, such as you, Mr. President, have anticipated these massive changes and are taking bold measures to address them.

00:05:20.340 All of us around this table are reinforcing our militaries and security services for the new world.

00:05:26.940 But we all know that there can be no security without economic prosperity and no prosperity without resilience.

00:05:35.840 And in a world where shocks flow across the borders, that resilience comes from cooperation.

00:05:41.200 Cooperation around that starts around this table.

00:05:44.000 Cooperation that can lead to a new era of prosperity, energy security and critical minerals, artificial intelligence, quantum, combating human smuggling and transnational repression.

00:05:58.220 Holy cow. 0.89

00:05:59.440 I mean, if a conservative had slobberingly embraced Trump that hard, it would be a scandal.

00:06:06.380 But I guess liberal voters just don't care.

00:06:08.840 I'm trying to understand, would the real Mark Carney please stand up?

00:06:11.360 I mean, he campaigned as hating Trump, divorcing Canada from Trump, reoriented Canada away from Trump, saying the relationship with America is over to.

00:06:20.720 I don't know who Mark Carney really is.

00:06:23.600 And maybe there is no real Mark Carney.

00:06:25.960 It's whoever he's told to be in that moment.

00:06:29.700 Here's a little bit more from the press conferences so far at the G7.

00:06:34.740 What is holding up a deal with Canada from your perspective?

00:06:38.140 It's not so much holding up.

00:06:39.700 I think we have different concepts.

00:06:40.960 I have a tariff concept.

00:06:42.920 Mark has a different concept, which is something that some people like.

00:06:47.480 But we're going to see if we can get to the bottom of it today.

00:06:50.740 I'm a tariff person.

00:06:52.640 I've always been a tariff. 0.65

00:06:53.820 It's simple.

00:06:54.660 It's easy.

00:06:55.800 It's precise.

00:06:57.540 And it just goes very quickly.

00:07:00.180 And I think Mark has a more complex idea, but also very good.

00:07:05.660 So we're going to look at both and we're going to see what we're going to come out with something.

00:07:09.980 Anyways, I'm glad our reporters are there.

00:07:11.800 And I'm delighted that our reporters care so much about freedom of the press that they're willing to go to court.

00:07:16.520 And we'll do it again if we need to.

00:07:18.660 I want to talk a little bit more about a couple other subjects, though, including this clip of Kash Patel, who's the FBI director on Donald Trump, who had some startling news on a podcast the other day that I actually didn't see until today.

00:07:33.880 I sort of missed it.

00:07:34.820 Did you know that the United States has the lowest murder rate right now that they've had in decades or at least possibly in memory?

00:07:46.300 I don't want to say ever because it was probably lower before statistics were kept.

00:07:50.940 But here, take a look at his comments just a few days ago.

00:07:55.380 We are on track to have the lowest homicide rate ever.

00:08:03.180 Murder rate, excuse me, murder rate ever.

00:08:05.960 In the country?

00:08:07.000 Yeah.

00:08:07.660 Really?

00:08:08.360 We're already, and look, we got six more months to go, so we're not done yet for the year.

00:08:12.720 But we're already down 20% from last year.

00:08:15.240 And we broke it this week that right now the murder rate, if we, the FBI and our government partners achieve the mission,

00:08:21.380 will give the American people the lowest murder rate in decades.

00:08:25.960 That's incredible.

00:08:26.980 And that's what I'm focused on.

00:08:28.420 So what steps have been made to do that?

00:08:32.060 Like, how did that become real?

00:08:36.100 So I think, and I've worked with cops and law enforcement a lot in the past, and you have too.

00:08:43.120 They're awesome.

00:08:44.820 All they wanted to do was do the work.

00:08:46.660 Once President Trump got elected and before I even got the nomination, right?

00:08:49.240 And, excuse me, when I was traveling country with them before that, they were like, take the handcuffs off of us.

00:08:57.200 Let us go do our jobs.

00:08:58.960 And that's where I came up with, let good cops be cops.

00:09:01.860 I said, if I'm going to get this job, that's what I'm going to do.

00:09:04.660 I'm going to let you, the agents, the police officers, the sheriffs, go out there and do the work you so badly want to do.

00:09:11.600 And I'm going to give you the resources you need to do it.

00:09:14.080 And I'm going to take away the politicization and weaponization saying, oh, we can't target this group or this thing or this area.

00:09:20.740 And that's it.

00:09:22.400 That's what we've done.

00:09:23.420 So how is it that Kash Patel and Donald Trump have reduced the murder rate just so immediately?

00:09:30.860 Like just, they haven't even been in power.

00:09:33.400 Is it even six months?

00:09:35.220 And how do you get the murder rate the lowest in history?

00:09:38.840 Well, part of the reason is getting the FBI out into the field.

00:09:42.000 Stop, you know, persecuting Christians or going against the January Sixers.

00:09:47.140 How about go after some real crime?

00:09:48.820 Move them out of Washington, back police in general, back the blue, stop the funding cuts, stop the political correctness.

00:09:57.840 But I think it's indubitable that the number one reason murders has fallen in America is because thousands of illegals, including violent illegals, including gang members, have been deported.

00:10:14.540 You've seen those images of the most radical MS-13 in Trenda, Aragua.

00:10:20.500 I'm not sure if I'm saying those gang names right.

00:10:23.460 Being deported to a specially built gang supermax prison in El Salvador, which is an incredible thing in itself.

00:10:32.880 If you take hundreds or even thousands of illegals, and if you're starting with the baddest hombres there are, you're starting with the murderers and the rapists. 0.95

00:10:43.740 Of course, you're going to have a reduction in crime, not just from the ones who are no longer in a position to murder or rape, but from others who are now spending a little bit more time hiding and running than committing crimes.

00:10:56.920 By the way, Rebel News was in New York City this weekend, while Sheila and Sid and Angelica and I were in Red Deer, Efraín Monsanto and Alexa Lavoie were in New York watching the anti-police riots.

00:11:15.100 Some of them were riots.

00:11:15.940 It wasn't quite the riot we thought we would get.

00:11:18.440 It wasn't quite the L.A. levels.

00:11:20.660 But we were there.

00:11:21.360 We wanted to see how Antifa and others would react to mass deportations.

00:11:26.080 Once you take a look, here's some of Alexa's reports.

00:11:28.480 You can find them all at riotreports.com.

00:11:41.760 It's that there's too many freeloaders here, man.

00:11:45.700 Too many of them.

00:11:47.020 And we need all the stuff that they were giving out to the other countries like Palestine and Israel, all that stuff.

00:11:54.600 We need them here, too.

00:11:56.080 Because home first before everybody else.

00:12:02.080 Can I ask you quickly, what do your flags mean, huh?

00:12:08.220 What do your flags mean?

00:12:09.360 It means resistance.

00:12:10.560 Resistance.

00:12:11.240 But you're proud to be American.

00:12:12.920 Yeah.

00:12:13.780 So, all come...

00:12:14.880 I'm real American.

00:12:15.700 I'm not a European American.

00:12:17.300 So, all come you are dragging and...

00:12:19.320 Because this flag don't represent us.

00:12:21.800 This flag represent you.

00:12:23.100 I think that Donald Trump is dead set on mass deportations.

00:12:31.740 He's got to be.

00:12:32.580 Biden has let in literally millions of people.

00:12:36.720 So, even if Trump deported 1,000 people a day, there's no way that's going to come even close.

00:12:42.720 1,000 a day would be 365,000 a year.

00:12:45.560 Over a four-year term, that's barely a million people.

00:12:48.880 That's not even 10% of the job.

00:12:50.740 So, speed and mass numbers is key.

00:12:54.560 I think it's the most popular thing he's doing.

00:12:57.140 I want to show you another tweet in the same vein.

00:13:00.140 This is from the Twitter feed of NBC Latino.

00:13:03.720 The president of a meatpacking plant says, quote,

00:13:09.160 There's no playbook on how to move forward after 76 workers at Glen Valley Foods in Omaha were arrested.

00:13:17.120 Really?

00:13:17.760 So, it's a meatpacking plant.

00:13:20.080 And they were hiring illegals. 0.67

00:13:22.080 And Trump raided them.

00:13:23.020 And 76 of his staff were sent home.

00:13:26.660 And he doesn't know what to do.

00:13:28.260 Now, I don't know anything about meatpacking, so I could be dead wrong here.

00:13:34.040 But maybe hire Americans. 0.99

00:13:37.740 Oh, and if that means you've got to pay a couple bucks more an hour, then do it.

00:13:41.840 I mean, most meatpacking plants are owned by national or multinational companies.

00:13:45.940 They can pay a few extra bucks.

00:13:48.240 And if that means, frankly, a stake is an extra dollar, but you have the lowest murder rate in history,

00:13:54.560 it's probably a good compromise, don't you think?

00:13:58.260 You know, if you ban and deport illegals, crime falling is pretty much common sense. 1.00

00:14:06.280 And I want to go north of the border now.

00:14:08.840 Every week, there's another shocking mass announcement by a police force in the greater Vancouver or Toronto areas.

00:14:17.300 Here's one from the Peel region, which is outside Toronto.

00:14:20.280 It's about a towing, where there's these rival tow truck gangs, and there's extortion and staged collisions, and there's shootings.

00:14:33.520 Um, yeah, uh, take a look at that announcement.

00:14:40.100 And there was an announcement, um, you know, there's an extortion announcement.

00:14:43.880 There's, take a look at this crazy shootout the other day.

00:14:47.880 Did you see this shootout?

00:14:49.020 Newly released by Toronto police, people duck and take cover as three masked men burst in and open fire at a busy pub on its opening night in March.

00:14:59.120 One of the worst mass shootings this city has ever seen, injuring 12 people.

00:15:04.260 Some were shot multiple times.

00:15:06.780 One person was shot six times and survived.

00:15:10.160 Police now say they've linked that attack to a rash of violence targeting the local tow truck industry, including this drive-by shooting three days earlier outside a tow yard.

00:15:22.700 Watch as the victim hides behind that car.

00:15:25.720 The suspects then turn around and start shooting again.

00:15:29.600 The victim, struck by a bullet, falls to the ground but survives.

00:15:34.040 I don't know if you can tell, but I'll help you.

00:15:36.600 They're all migrants. 1.00

00:15:38.720 And when I mean all, every single one of the people charged is a migrant.

00:15:45.260 Uh, they're overwhelmingly for it.

00:15:47.020 Imagine if we stopped mass immigration, like stopped digging, and then started deporting like they are in America. 1.00

00:15:54.740 We would find crime plummeting too.

00:15:57.440 Who do you think is doing the crimes of stealing vehicles from Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, putting them on a ship and sending them overseas? 0.98

00:16:03.980 Those are foreigners coming from a low-trust society who come to our paradise, and instead of working hard to get ahead, they said, these are suckers. 0.94

00:16:12.640 They have pretend cops with pretend laws, and it's like a pile of butter, and I'm a hot knife. 0.98

00:16:18.840 That's, that's what they're doing to our country.

00:16:21.380 If you were to stop mass immigration and deport the criminals, we would have crime at an all-time low as well. 0.97

00:16:27.700 I should tell you that in the United Kingdom, they finally announced they're going to have an inquiry into mass rape by Pakistani Muslim men. 0.99

00:16:37.200 Again, you see a theme here. 0.76

00:16:40.380 Very interesting times.

00:16:41.820 I've got to tell you, tomorrow I'm going to have a feature interview with Dr. Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum, because I think things in Iran are going so interestingly.

00:16:49.360 Now, there is a faction on the right, I'm going to call them the Qatar right, that says, no American war, no fighting with Muslim or Arabs, don't shed a, don't have a single American boy go to war for Israel.

00:17:03.320 To which I say, I completely agree.

00:17:07.540 So, it's a good thing that there isn't any American participation in the war.

00:17:13.060 I'm sure there's some information sharing, intelligence sharing.

00:17:16.580 That's what allies do with each other.

00:17:17.980 I mean, you have to remember that Iran's motto is, death to America. 1.00

00:17:22.220 And they don't just say it, they do it.

00:17:23.720 One of the largest terrorist attacks against America, I think after 9-11, it might even be the largest, was the blowing up of the U.S. Marines in Lebanon.

00:17:36.300 The Ayatollahs, Hezbollah, their proxies, are really one of the most murderous enemies of America. 0.94

00:17:42.880 And Israel is fighting them.

00:17:45.240 They're using American weapons. 0.87

00:17:46.940 But everyone has American weapons, including the Taliban these days.

00:17:50.700 There aren't any U.S. soldiers on the ground.

00:17:54.300 There isn't even a U.S. base in Israel.

00:17:57.440 And speaking of the G7, you can't actually say that about the other G7 countries.

00:18:01.860 There's about a half a dozen U.S. Air Force bases in the United Kingdom to this day.

00:18:07.220 Did you know that?

00:18:08.180 There's about 10,000 American troops stationed in the U.K.

00:18:11.380 I've told you before that in Germany, there's about 50,000 troops on about 40 U.S. bases.

00:18:20.240 Have you heard of Rammstein?

00:18:21.540 That's the name of my favorite band.

00:18:23.740 That's one of the many U.S. bases.

00:18:25.460 There are so many U.S. bases still in Germany, in Japan, in Italy.

00:18:30.820 You've probably heard of Aviano.

00:18:34.160 Now, there's no U.S. bases in Canada, but I think there are in every other G7 country.

00:18:39.480 There's none in France.

00:18:40.900 I'll give them that.

00:18:42.980 So, yeah, I agree with the Qatar right. 0.99

00:18:46.280 By that, I mean conservatives who are paid to protect Qatar's interests.

00:18:51.160 I don't think Americans need to go to war for Israel, and I don't think they ever have.

00:18:56.860 So that's a good thing to feel good about.

00:18:59.620 But if you are part of the Qatar right and you really are principled,

00:19:02.920 then I think you should work at getting America out of Japan, Italy, Germany, the U.K., 0.93

00:19:10.140 just for consistency's sake.

00:19:12.520 Israel has completed the degradation of the Iranian military.

00:19:19.260 Devastated.

00:19:19.960 I wouldn't be surprised if it has 10% of its capacity that it had a year ago.

00:19:25.520 The nuke program has largely done.

00:19:30.700 There have been about 30 or 40 Israelis killed, which, of course, is terrible.

00:19:35.580 About 600 injured.

00:19:36.780 But compared to other Israeli wars, it's minuscule.

00:19:41.080 And Iran is effectively neutered, as are its proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.

00:19:45.740 And the Houthis seem to be keeping their heads down.

00:19:48.460 I think the real risk from Iran is now overseas, as in not in Iran and Israel,

00:19:56.480 but in Canada and the United States and the U.K. and France and Argentina and places like that.

00:20:04.340 There's a real risk of lone wolf-style attacks, and actually much worse than lone wolf attacks.

00:20:09.920 I mentioned Argentina because that's one of the places where Hezbollah blew up a Jewish center, 0.74

00:20:15.360 killing scores of people.

00:20:16.940 I think that Canada is at risk.

00:20:20.100 Canada has a large and active Iranian agent problem.

00:20:23.800 We know from Global TV, Global News' report,

00:20:26.740 there's about 600 or 700 Iranian agents running around in Canada.

00:20:31.260 That's the risk.

00:20:33.920 By the way, Donald Trump was asked about the war today.

00:20:38.040 Here's what he said.

00:20:38.880 ...lessages from intermediaries that Iran wishes to de-escalate the conflict.

00:20:44.000 Yeah.

00:20:44.740 What have you heard?

00:20:45.960 What have you heard from the Iranians?

00:20:47.700 They'd like to talk, but they should have done that before.

00:20:51.920 I had 60 days, and they had 60 days.

00:20:54.480 And on the 61st day, I said, we don't have a deal.

00:20:57.900 They have to make a deal.

00:20:59.420 And it's painful for both parties, but I'd say Iran is not winning this war. 0.96

00:21:04.940 And they should talk, and they should talk immediately before it's too late.

00:21:09.620 And what intelligent support are you providing Israel?

00:21:14.220 We've always supported Israel.

00:21:15.220 We have for a long period of time strongly, and Israel is doing very well right now.

00:21:20.820 Trump's happy with how the war is going.

00:21:22.920 He said it's going very well.

00:21:24.400 And I think he's happy that America is not participating in the war.

00:21:27.280 He's keeping his promise about non-interventionism. 0.90

00:21:30.840 I mean, remember, Iran are the original death, the great Satan. 1.00

00:21:34.760 The little Satan was Israel. 0.97

00:21:36.380 The great Satan was always America. 0.85

00:21:38.520 Remember, they took U.S. hostages.

00:21:39.880 Do you remember that, that they very early on, they seized hostages from the U.S. embassy,

00:21:48.380 and Jimmy Carter hummed and hawed, and Reagan helped get them back.

00:21:53.000 They have undermined the West and bombed many countries. 0.98

00:21:55.380 I find it really weird that we're not more grateful to Israel for taking out this menace,

00:22:01.940 like Israel did with the Iraqi nuclear reactor in the 1980s,

00:22:06.140 and with Syria's nuclear reactor in 2007.

00:22:09.340 Imagine if Israel had not eliminated the Iraqi reactor 45 years ago. 0.96

00:22:15.780 They would have had a nuke, and Syria might likely have one too. 0.85

00:22:21.820 Well, it would have been very interesting days.

00:22:23.500 It's about 10 different stories I merged into one.

00:22:25.700 Stay with us.

00:22:26.800 Up next, my friend Richard Inman from Northern Ireland.

00:22:34.940 Well, we love to cover Ireland because we love to cover the story of mass immigration.

00:22:39.340 And we love the fighting spirit of the Irish.

00:22:41.920 There is a rebellious streak in that people, and they're not taking it lightly.

00:22:46.360 As you know, we were at a march in Dublin a few weeks ago with more than 50,000 people,

00:22:51.360 which is an enormous march, a completely peaceful march.

00:22:54.960 And the flag they flew was that of Ireland.

00:22:57.540 It was interesting to point that out because the flag of the counter-protesters was the Palestinian flag.

00:23:02.940 It's so unusual what's happening.

00:23:05.800 Even more unusual is that the entire political establishment is against the people.

00:23:10.900 The entire political establishment, all the major parties, are for mass immigration.

00:23:15.900 All the media is too, at least the regime media.

00:23:18.520 Very interesting to me.

00:23:19.740 But I want to talk to you about Northern Ireland.

00:23:22.740 Remember that the island of Ireland, there are six counties that are part of the United Kingdom in the north,

00:23:30.100 and they are largely Protestant.

00:23:32.420 The Republic of Ireland is the southern counties, and it is largely Catholic.

00:23:38.940 So there are some important divides, religious divides, ethnic divides, if you will.

00:23:44.860 But imagine being part of the U.K. government and choosing to put into Northern Ireland a place where they've had sectarian differences before,

00:23:54.860 a place where a generation ago there were the troubles, that is, the IRA and counter paramilitaries

00:24:02.280 and the actual low-grade terrorism for years.

00:24:06.600 Imagine being one of the tall foreheads in London and saying,

00:24:11.300 let's put military-age migrant men from foreign nationalities right in the heart of Northern Ireland.

00:24:19.580 Maybe we could even find a way to stick them between Catholics and Protestants. 1.00

00:24:23.980 I mean, if you're talking about a cultural fit, I can't think of a worse place to put them.

00:24:30.220 And indeed, many of the fears came true.

00:24:32.880 As you know, a few weeks ago, several migrants were accused of raping an Irish child.

00:24:39.120 And what was so interesting is that the resulting protests that turned into riots included both Protestants and Catholics,

00:24:45.680 who found a common threat, that of mass immigration, larger than their religious and sectarian differences.

00:24:53.300 That's how it looked like to me, at least.

00:24:56.220 I've never been to Northern Ireland, never been to Ballymena where the riots were, or even Belfast.

00:25:00.980 But I'm lucky enough to have a friend who lives there, and he joined us on the scene when these riots happened.

00:25:07.160 He's back there with an update.

00:25:08.620 His name is Richard Inman, and we're delighted to talk to him via Zoom.

00:25:12.080 Richard, did I more or less—I mean, you can't sum up Northern Ireland in a paragraph.

00:25:16.860 It's a very complex and rich history, and I'm certainly not partisan one way or the other.

00:25:21.320 I guess my point is, this is a place where ethnicity and nationality and even language are very personal.

00:25:28.860 And things came to blows in that part of the world.

00:25:32.380 So sticking in foreign people who have different culture, religion, language, history, seems like a terribly bad idea to me. 1.00

00:25:39.440 What do you think, Richard?

00:25:40.160 Well, absolutely, Ezra, and you summed it up very well.

00:25:43.800 That's exactly the situation.

00:25:45.700 And we've been warning about this for many, many years.

00:25:49.300 And basically what happened here in Ballymena was there was a very small element of Roma gypsies came into the town

00:25:56.360 and basically set up shop a mafia that was involved in drug dealing, prostitution, people trafficking, money laundering, a mini-criminal empire.

00:26:07.360 And they then started sort of flexing their muscles.

00:26:10.660 And even worse than flexing their muscles, they decided that it starts, allegedly—and we've got to say that because of the British legal situation—

00:26:19.500 And allegedly, two girls were indecently assaulted by these Roma gypsies within the last two weeks. 1.00

00:26:27.720 Now, since then, there's been a lot happening.

00:26:29.900 Since we last spoke, Ezra, there's been a lot happening.

00:26:33.060 For sure.

00:26:33.820 You're standing in front of one of the apartments or homes that was considered the home base of some of these migrants.

00:26:44.460 And I understand that things were smashed.

00:26:46.900 Vehicles were smashed.

00:26:47.820 It looks like that place was torched.

00:26:50.280 It looks like it's boarded up.

00:26:51.640 Can you describe where you are standing right now and if indeed anyone is still living in there?

00:26:58.560 No, there's no one living in there.

00:27:00.020 As far as I know, all the Roma gypsies have now left Ballymena. 0.94

00:27:04.460 And again, I'm led to believe that that house and some of the other houses that were attacked were occupied by some of this criminal element in the town

00:27:12.420 and obviously these people that had these allegations hanging over them.

00:27:15.080 And again, I said it last time, but it's worth saying again that in Ireland, there is still community both north and south.

00:27:22.840 Northern Ireland, there's a very, very strong loyalist and Republican community.

00:27:26.760 And in the south, obviously, there's a very, very strong, nationalistic, patriotic Irish community.

00:27:31.460 And what happened in Ballymena two weeks ago has actually brought the two communities together.

00:27:40.100 We, you know, I've got the footage.

00:27:42.020 I'll send it over to you, Ezra.

00:27:43.020 But we had walking past us five minutes before we came live, we had two or three hundred women and children walking through this area

00:27:52.580 to show that they're not going to put up with women and children being targeted by anyone, whether they be migrants, whether they be indigenous people.

00:28:00.300 It's not going to happen.

00:28:01.520 And that is, talking to the people of Ballymena, I want to say two things to the law, because you're the only platform, Ezra,

00:28:09.360 that is giving the people of Ballymena a fair crack of the whip, as we say over here.

00:28:15.160 You're the only person that's been truly representing the facts on the ground.

00:28:18.780 And the facts are that what happened in Ballymena was a criminal element, allegedly attacked two little girls in the most vile manner.

00:28:26.980 And the community said, enough's enough, we're not having it, you're going.

00:28:31.540 And all I'm going to say is the rural community, as far as I know, from this area of town that are involved in that criminality, are not here anymore.

00:28:39.180 But what happened then, the BBC, the mainstream media, the Belfast Telegraph, the British press,

00:28:47.100 all of them demonised the people of Ballymena as racist bigots.

00:28:50.860 And I've just done an interview with a lady who was, she's from the Czech Republic, so she's a migrant,

00:28:57.620 and she's standing with her friends from Ballymena, because she says all they have shown her as a migrant to this country is love and warmth.

00:29:08.420 They've helped her with everything that she's needed since she came over here.

00:29:11.740 She's part of the community, the community loves her, and she loves the community.

00:29:15.360 And that's the sort of migration, if we have to have migration, that's the sort of migration we want,

00:29:19.480 where people go and settle and integrate with the community.

00:29:22.460 But when you have things like this Roma Gypsy criminal gang, 1.00

00:29:26.740 and you have things like happened in Telford and Robben with the Pakistani rape mafia, 0.96

00:29:32.520 well, that's when the people rise up and say, enough's enough, we're not going to put up with this.

00:29:36.460 And that's really what's happened here.

00:29:37.560 So to pass it off as racist hatred and bigotry is a complete lie and a complete inversion of the truth.

00:29:47.140 I'd like to say, Ezra, what's happened is it's brought the two communities together, which is an amazing thing.

00:29:51.880 Wow.

00:29:52.800 You know, I'm trying to process in my mind why there are so many rallies in Ireland.

00:30:02.160 You were telling me before we turned the cameras on, there's going to be one in Belfast this weekend.

00:30:06.700 There was one in Limerick this past weekend.

00:30:09.580 That's in the Republic of Ireland.

00:30:10.960 I was at Cork a few weeks ago.

00:30:13.560 Like every little town and city is having rallies.

00:30:16.640 They're often ignored by the mainstream media.

00:30:19.500 We love to cover them and we try and give them big exposure.

00:30:22.220 But if we're not there, they're really downplayed.

00:30:25.100 And I'm trying to think, why are those rallies happening in Ireland?

00:30:28.100 But not so much in the United Kingdom, other than Northern Ireland.

00:30:32.780 Not at all in Canada.

00:30:34.700 I haven't seen anti-immigration rallies in these other places.

00:30:39.300 And my theory is this, Richard, and you tell me what you think.

00:30:42.960 Ireland is still pretty Irish.

00:30:45.760 And Northern Ireland is still, it has a very low migration level.

00:30:53.300 I mean, London, the capital of the UK, is majority-minority already.

00:30:58.540 But the Republic of Ireland outside of Dublin and Northern Ireland is still very Irish. 0.75

00:31:06.540 And in places like Ballymena that are smaller towns, people know each other.

00:31:10.340 So there's a sense of community.

00:31:12.440 And so if you hear a girl got raped, you probably know them or you want to find out who they are.

00:31:19.920 And you think, oh, that's so-and-so's cousin or I know their friend.

00:31:23.100 Like there's a real family feeling.

00:31:25.940 And so it's shocking.

00:31:26.980 And people have, like, blood is thicker than water.

00:31:29.960 And so people come because they can see the changes.

00:31:33.160 Whereas in London, where everything is already atomized and it's a city of strangers, people say, oh, well, that's too bad.

00:31:40.820 But they don't, they're not taking a stake in the community.

00:31:44.700 What I observed in, like, I, let me, I've told this anecdote many times, but it left a big impression on me.

00:31:50.580 I was in the little village of Dundrum, Ireland, population 200.

00:31:55.220 I just showed up with my cameraman.

00:31:56.920 We were taking some background footage.

00:31:59.580 And someone came up and said, who are you guys?

00:32:01.620 Like they were sort of worried for the community.

00:32:03.980 And they weren't angry.

00:32:04.800 They just wanted to know who are these strangers.

00:32:07.120 And I guess living in a small town, you, you lose some privacy, but what you gain in return is a family and a protection.

00:32:14.660 And I sort of loved it.

00:32:16.280 I, I mean, I'm a big city guy, but I can imagine how wonderful it is to grow up in a place like Dundrum where no one has to lock their doors and everyone knows each other.

00:32:24.180 And so when you're invaded by hundreds of migrants in Dundrum, they brought in 240 migrant men in a town of 200, you're a place like Ballymena, which is a smaller town.

00:32:34.860 When there's a rape, you know about it.

00:32:36.760 And if you don't, and you want to, you have a connection to it.

00:32:39.620 You care, you still care.

00:32:41.540 And maybe you don't in Dublin, although 50,000 care.

00:32:44.480 Anyway, I'm going on at length, but I think the Irish, because they're the indigenous ethnicity, because they've been there for centuries, because they have such a common bond, they care more.

00:32:57.420 And it wounds them when foreign migrants, who are sometimes called invaders because they're pressed into these places.

00:33:05.380 No one invited them in.

00:33:06.640 No one in Ballymena asked for migrants.

00:33:09.320 No one in Dundrum asked for migrants.

00:33:11.520 So that's my thesis, Richard.

00:33:13.900 I'm trying to figure it out.

00:33:15.260 Maybe you can correct me or expand or alter my thesis.

00:33:20.100 You're absolutely right.

00:33:21.160 The difference between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland still has community.

00:33:26.180 And, you know, that's why anyone that comes here and gets involved in the community and joins the community loves the place.

00:33:31.720 And that is the big difference.

00:33:33.420 The UK, sadly, does not have that community.

00:33:35.820 Now, we're trying to build the United Kingdom rallies and what we're doing with Tommy Rolls.

00:33:39.800 Obviously, that's a big part of trying to redress that.

00:33:43.900 But what a lot of us here in Northern Ireland believe is that there's a deliberate policy to try and delegitimize, demonize and destroy that community.

00:33:55.340 And, of course, the only way that the mainstream media, the politicians and even the police force have of doing that is by branding everybody that takes the streets when children are abused by a criminal mafia that's moved into the town, by classing everybody that's done that as racist.

00:34:16.380 But community is massive in this country.

00:34:19.320 Everybody's families live close to each other.

00:34:22.580 Everybody's together.

00:34:23.220 And what I've seen of last week in Ballymena, nobody stayed here as long as I have since this story.

00:34:28.000 We go around the corner and we go out, so they don't know what's going on.

00:34:30.380 I've taken time to speak to the people.

00:34:32.600 I've taken time to sit and break bread with the people.

00:34:34.980 And what I found is that this has actually brought the community closer together.

00:34:38.740 Now, there are issues I do want to talk about, Ezra, because one of the problems that we've got is a lot of young lads that have got caught up in this rioting are now going to be looking at very, very serious custodian sentences.

00:34:47.820 And the reason they're going to get serious custodian sentences is because what the state and the prosecutors and the police force are going to do is going to tag racism onto the charge of riotous assembly, which will mean they'll get a substantially longer prison sentence.

00:35:05.160 And that's why the media, the politicians and the police are pushing the lie, and it is a lie, that this is a racist mob ransacking migrants' homes, which couldn't be further from the truth.

00:35:18.340 Like I said, there's loads of migrants in this town that have never had any bother from anyone.

00:35:22.460 They integrate, they go to the pubs with people, they go to the churches with people, they go to the coffee shops with people.

00:35:28.680 That's not the issue.

00:35:29.560 It is one very small criminal element that literally totally destabilised this town.

00:35:34.740 And I want to say something else as well, Ezra, I think I sent you the video, I'm not sure if you've seen it, but I got set footage last week of unmarked white vans driving through the estates of this town and literally dragging children off the street.

00:35:52.080 And I'm not talking about gently saying get into the van, physically dragging them off the street, goodness knows what happens to them when they went into the vans.

00:35:59.680 And, you know, if that's not an abuse of the legal process, I don't know what is.

00:36:03.700 Because if you take a child into a van and you're not the child's parents, in my eyes, that's called kidnapping, Ezra.

00:36:09.880 So these were police vans, you're saying?

00:36:12.880 They had these sort of snatch raids, I think they were called, where they go out and then they sort of pounce on someone and bundle them out.

00:36:19.920 I guess that's a tactic to avoid, just to pick them off one at a time.

00:36:24.320 Yeah, but the problem with it is, Ezra, who are they actually picking up?

00:36:29.620 Is it, you know, anyone that's dressed in black?

00:36:31.200 My goodness, I'm dressed in black tonight.

00:36:32.500 Does that mean I'm going to get my collar felt when I try to walk back to my car?

00:36:35.280 You know, it didn't seem to be targeted.

00:36:37.460 It seems to be that they were just grabbing kids, trailing them off the street, trailing them to the back of these vans.

00:36:42.600 And goodness knows what's happened to those children.

00:36:44.420 Have they been charged?

00:36:45.300 Are they remanded?

00:36:45.940 We don't know.

00:36:46.440 Well, Richard, that makes me think because, and again, I'm trying to keep my jurisdiction straight, but in the United Kingdom proper, not Northern Ireland, but in the UK, in the city of Southport, where there was a terrorist attack by a convert to Islam, whose parents were migrants, and he stabbed a bunch of little girls at a Taylor Swift-themed party.

00:37:14.000 That also led to riots, and Keir Starmer called the rioters racist, and he set up 24-hour-a-day courts, which I've never heard of in my life, like, and he boasted about this.

00:37:29.440 Keir Starmer used to be the chief prosecutor in the UK, so he would, like, round the clock, and he would just bam, bam, bam, bam.

00:37:36.860 It was like drumhead justice, and all these people, who was he prosecuting? 0.61

00:37:41.800 There were some people who were physical, but I'm referring to people who tweeted about it, people who made a Facebook post about it, people who gestured inappropriately.

00:37:54.200 I saw someone was in prison for shouting at a dog, shouting at a police dog.

00:37:59.520 I don't believe you should shout at a dog, I suppose, unless you're saying bad dog or something, but that's not a prison term.

00:38:06.420 Like, people were getting two and a half years in prison for a tweet.

00:38:10.260 I'm worried that that is what Keir Starmer, because he's the prime minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

00:38:16.640 I'm worried he's going to try and do the same thing up there, and anyone who even comments on these rapes or comments on the migrant issue is going to be prosecuted.

00:38:27.200 I think he would rather silence people than solve the problem.

00:38:31.580 Have you heard of any of that?

00:38:33.100 Is anyone being charged with a social media crime, Richard?

00:38:38.260 Now, I'm not sure about social media crime.

00:38:39.960 What I do know is that people have been arrested that were just at the riots, and I heard of a 13-year-old child that was arrested.

00:38:48.380 He wasn't involved in the rioting.

00:38:49.740 He was basically spectating.

00:38:51.560 He's been arrested and charged with riotous assembly, and what I've been told, and again, this is anecdotal, but it's from a reliable source, the mother has been charged with child neglect.

00:39:01.080 So the mother and the child from that family have both been arrested in connection with this riot.

00:39:08.900 Kids that have been pulled into these vans, apparently they go straight before the judge.

00:39:12.860 They're getting remanded straight away, locked up straight away.

00:39:15.840 So it's very, very alarming, and I've also been told that the police are starting to look at people's social media, and they're going to be making arrests for people that have just posted on social media, which for the game we're in, Ezra, is very alarming, to say the least.

00:39:31.740 Well, we know from a report in the Times of London a month ago that every single day in the UK, 30 people have police visit them, 30 a day for their social media posts.

00:39:45.480 So if that is the baseline, I can only imagine how it's ramped up during a crisis like this in Ballymena.

00:39:52.320 Well, Richard, I'm very grateful to you for being on the spot.

00:39:55.200 I've never had the opportunity to go to Northern Ireland.

00:39:57.660 It's not as easy to get to as, say, Dublin or London for us Canadians, but maybe we'll visit one day, and hopefully you'll be in a position to show us around.

00:40:09.120 I get the feeling that if you're a foreign journalist, you're probably going to be looked at with some skepticism, because I think the regime media generally is an enemy of the people.

00:40:20.520 And I wouldn't want myself or any other rebel journalist to be misidentified, say, as with the BBC or something, because, you know, we might get a punch in the nose.

00:40:30.980 But if you were there to keep us on the right path, I'm sure we'd be grateful to you.

00:40:36.760 Well, Ezra, you'd be surprised how many people know you in Northern Ireland already, and you'd also be surprised how many people know and love Tommy.

00:40:43.460 So if you have anything to do with Tommy, a lot of people will know you anyway.

00:40:46.660 We can make sure that if you come up here, Ezra, you'll be absolutely right.

00:40:49.520 But one last point on coming across the border.

00:40:52.240 One of the good things about the disastrous fallout from the way the Brexit negotiations went, there is no border in Ireland.

00:41:00.820 So you get to Dublin, you can get to Belfast.

00:41:03.360 It's a 50-mile ride.

00:41:06.060 Right on.

00:41:06.880 Okay, good.

00:41:07.480 Well, listen, I'm slowly discovering all these interesting places.

00:41:11.220 They're interesting.

00:41:12.080 The people are wonderful.

00:41:13.020 And I keep saying to my Canadian friends, we can learn from other jurisdictions.

00:41:17.380 We can learn what to do right, what to do wrong.

00:41:20.740 We can learn what works and what doesn't work.

00:41:23.980 And I think watching Ireland stand up, there's a fighting spirit there.

00:41:28.500 I don't know if we have it as Canadians, to be honest, Richard.

00:41:31.480 We're a little more passive than the – I was in Cork the other day, and their motto is the rebel county.

00:41:39.480 I don't know if Canadians are built that way, but there's a lot of lessons we could learn from Ireland.

00:41:45.780 And I'm still digesting it in my mind.

00:41:50.380 So I'm grateful to you for helping be our Sherpa, guiding us on this quest for knowledge.

00:41:55.820 Thank you for taking the time, my friend.

00:41:57.480 It's a pleasure always, Ezra, pleasure always.

00:42:02.200 Okay, there he is, Richard Inman, friend of mine.

00:42:04.540 I met him through Tommy Robinson in the UK, so you know he's on the good guy's side.

00:42:10.780 Stay with us.

00:42:11.840 More ahead.

00:42:12.340 Hey, welcome back.

00:42:28.940 Your letters to me.

00:42:31.000 Blood Cancer to Boston says, I love the Persian people. 1.00

00:42:34.640 This is incredible news.

00:42:36.300 Praying for Iran. 1.00

00:42:37.420 They've been under a cloud since 1979.

00:42:39.300 Yeah, you know, I find the Persian people have a great sense of humor.

00:42:44.220 They're very well educated.

00:42:45.500 They love the West.

00:42:46.700 They have a sorrow for the Iran they lost.

00:42:49.300 There's a great expat community in Toronto and Vancouver and a huge one in L.A.

00:42:54.560 And I want to tell you something.

00:42:57.220 Rebel News, I believe, is responsible for tipping two ridings away from the liberals.

00:43:02.580 One of them is Ya'ara Sachs in York Center.

00:43:05.020 And you know all the things we did to get her rooted out the other is Maji Johari, who was a little bit further north. 1.00

00:43:12.120 Funny thing is Ya'ara Sachs was in my district and Maji Johari was in David Manzi's district.

00:43:17.060 And we had the billboard truck there.

00:43:18.520 We did stories there.

00:43:19.960 Both of them lost.

00:43:21.040 I think the Persian Canadian community maybe was tricked into voting for him because he had a Persian name.

00:43:29.380 But he was actually a regime supporter.

00:43:32.360 So Maji Johari, the MPP for the Richmond Hill area there, he was a pro-Ayatollah MP.

00:43:39.620 So for that district to throw him out was a great moment, I think, for the community and for us.

00:43:45.980 We had some involvement.

00:43:46.620 Kat Canada says, Candy Owens would have sided with the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

00:43:53.060 Yeah, you know, I remember Candace Owens when she was sort of normal and before she went a little bit nuts. 1.00

00:43:58.980 And when I mean nuts, I sort of mean nuts.

00:44:01.320 Here's an interview she did with my friend Steve Edgington of GB News where he asked her,

00:44:05.860 should America have joined the Second World War?

00:44:09.400 And she says, I don't think so.

00:44:11.880 And he says, even though Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and she said, um, scientists should study that.

00:44:20.280 Here, look at this clip.

00:44:21.320 Good.

00:44:21.760 I want to be concerned with just America's problems.

00:44:25.040 As soon as those get resolved, I'm happy to pick up our head and say, oh, well, you know what?

00:44:29.900 There are our friends over there in the UK.

00:44:32.040 Let's see how they're doing it.

00:44:33.260 We can help them.

00:44:34.200 But America first.

00:44:35.440 But if Japan did attack Pearl Harbor, so presumably you would have reacted to that.

00:44:39.260 Yeah, I mean, yes, look at it.

00:44:40.720 I think, of course, if you're ever talking about a threat in terms of your nation being attacked,

00:44:46.080 you should always have an equal response.

00:44:48.800 But at the moment, we're being afoot.

00:44:50.420 So that rule was just.

00:44:51.000 But, well, a response was just, right?

00:44:53.760 Does the response necessarily dictate a world war?

00:44:56.740 These are questions that should be relegated, I think, to an academic discussion.

00:44:59.580 These would be interesting academic discussions.

00:45:01.060 I'd love to get up with a bunch of people and to play out those scenarios.

00:45:03.820 What if we had just responded to Japan?

00:45:06.200 You know, I haven't had the time to sit down and think about it, and I definitely don't

00:45:09.560 want to do that on the fly and get that wrong.

00:45:11.200 But it would be a very interesting discussion to think about other options in terms of responding

00:45:14.900 to things.

00:45:15.460 You know, Tucker Carlson, a couple of weeks ago, said that he wouldn't have dropped a

00:45:18.520 nuke in the world, but what are you talking about?

00:45:20.540 And I said, no, he's absolutely correct.

00:45:22.840 The war was essentially over.

00:45:24.260 Japan was already negotiating their surrender.

00:45:26.380 They had been literally on the defense for two years.

00:45:29.320 There was no reason that we needed to drop that bomb on a Catholic church, no less, in 1.00

00:45:34.020 Abbasaki, in order to end the war. 0.99

00:45:36.260 That's garbage that you're being taught in your school system, and it's making it so that 0.97

00:45:39.540 you don't think critically and that you don't question the government initiatives when they 0.99

00:45:42.420 say, rah, rah, rah, let's go to war. 1.00

00:45:44.260 Let's have the courage to talk about what the military-industrial complex is and whether

00:45:47.440 or not it's serving us.

00:45:48.280 Because let me tell you something.

00:45:49.440 If we're sending trillions of dollars and trillions of dollars overseas, and they're taking

00:45:54.780 money from us every second of the day to fight wars, and you're telling me that we don't

00:45:57.520 even have a secure border, that's fraud.

00:46:00.120 I don't care which way they try to spin it.

00:46:01.480 I don't care how many sad stories they try to tell us.

00:46:03.460 That is absolute fraud being enacted upon the American people.

00:46:06.340 A letter on the G7 summit, Gobaba Wonen says, we don't have a truly free press that the government

00:46:13.680 can so easily restrict who can ask them questions.

00:46:17.120 Well, that's a battle we've been fighting for many years, isn't it?

00:46:19.960 Since they first tried to keep us out of the election debates in 2019, it's been six years

00:46:24.120 now, and we're still fighting them in court all the time.

00:46:27.260 Well, that's our show for today.

00:46:30.140 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,

00:46:33.800 good night, and keep fighting for freedom.

00:46:36.020 Good night.

00:46:36.540 Good night.

00:46:38.880 Good night.

00:46:40.780 Good night.
