Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Media fact checkers remain silent after Liberal cabinet minister makes egregious claim

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. A crazy statement in parliament by a liberal MP and a crazier tweet

00:00:07.300 by a liberal cabinet minister. I want to show you all about it. I want you to see the statement,

00:00:13.060 so I want you to get the video version of this podcast. Go to rebelnewsplus.com,

00:00:18.040 click subscribe. It's eight bucks a month. Not only do you get that outstanding video content

00:00:22.120 every weeknight, but you support Rebel News, and we need the help because we don't take any money

00:00:28.140 from Trudeau, and it shows. All right, here's today's podcast. Tonight, such a revealing lie

00:00:48.220 from a Trudeau cabinet minister. It's May 9th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:51.900 You're fighting for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:06.980 Hey, take a look at this tweet from Marcy Ian, a former TV news reader, now a Trudeau cabinet

00:01:13.540 minister for Toronto. You can see it there. There's a picture of the House of Commons,

00:01:18.920 and she says, denounce neo-Nazism or leave the room. Conservatives leave the room.

00:01:27.220 Hmm. 690,000 views of that tweet. And look at that. Who can reply? Accounts Marcy Ian mentioned

00:01:35.960 can reply. In other words, she turned off the ability for Canadians to talk back, to answer back,

00:01:42.480 to ask questions. But look at what Elon Musk has on Twitter. It's wonderful. It's something called

00:01:48.020 Community Notes, where ordinary readers can fact-check politicians. It really is one of my favorite

00:01:54.080 functions on Twitter. And look what viewers say. As per official House of Commons question period

00:02:03.240 transcript and video, the speaker ordered Polyev to exit the chamber after Pierre called the prime

00:02:11.380 minister and his policies. And his policies, wacko. Pierre eventually withdrew the word, but replaced it

00:02:17.840 with extreme, at which the speaker ordered him out for the day. So that's a sort of a homemade

00:02:26.600 crowdsourced reply. People voted on it. And the community note, I don't know if you can see that,

00:02:33.520 it links to a video that proves that's the case. There's so much in here. It's an 11-word tweet.

00:02:42.700 I think there's a thousand words to say about it. I mean, the first is the most obvious. It was a lie.

00:02:49.720 I mean, just a lie from a former, I'm not going to call Marcy Ian a former journalist. She was just

00:02:54.620 sort of a newsreader. I don't think she actually did any journalism. But I would call that fake news.

00:02:59.900 It's sort of gross that a newsreader would say something. She tried to trick the public. She 0.99

00:03:06.460 implied that there was a call to challenge neo-Nazism. Pierre Polyev wouldn't, so the speaker

00:03:12.340 kicked him out. That is completely made up. And it's still on the internet to this day.

00:03:19.520 It's literally not true. It lied about Nazis. It used Nazis as, I don't know, a joke, as a political

00:03:28.300 tool to poke Pierre Polyev. This from a cabinet minister, Marcy Ian, who gave a standing ovation

00:03:36.140 to Yaroslav Hanka, the actual Nazi SS officer invited by the prime minister to parliament when

00:03:44.500 Vladimir Zelensky from Ukraine was in town. So Nazism, neo-Nazism, or the original Nazis, is not a joke.

00:03:51.780 But it is to the liberals, even though they themselves brought a Nazi to parliament.

00:03:55.700 And it's even worse because there actually are new Nazis stalking our country right now. You can see

00:04:01.900 them, bizarrely, not in the country with hicks, as is the stereotype of Nazis, but no, in the downtown

00:04:09.820 college campuses across this country, from UBC to U of T to McGill and everywhere. Hey, where are the

00:04:16.240 fact checkers here? We saw the community notes fact check, but where's a CBC fact check? Where's

00:04:24.380 a Reuters fact check? Where's an Associated Press fact check? I know about all those things

00:04:30.020 because they fact check conservatives all the time. I've never seen them fact check a liberal. Have you?

00:04:36.420 And yet you have a pure lie here. Using Nazis as a partisan weapon, completely false.

00:04:44.080 Not only is there no fact check, but that remains online, 690,000 people.

00:04:51.160 Well, look at this from a liberal MP, Tlaib Nur-Mohamed. He's a guy who got famous flipping houses in

00:04:59.060 Vancouver, and now he's got advice for housing. Just watch this statement he made just for a moment. Take a look.

00:05:05.580 Speaker, May 3rd commemorated World Press Freedom Day, a day when we celebrate journalists for the

00:05:10.780 work they do, the risks they take to keep us informed. They pay a high price, Mr. Speaker,

00:05:16.100 from attacks by authoritarian regimes to criminal enterprises, journalists risk life and limb pursuing

00:05:22.060 truth. This year, the price was high. The deadliest year on record, 115 journalists dead in conflict

00:05:28.980 zones. The word press emblazoned on their flak jackets, sharing stories that we need to hear.

00:05:34.380 Hundreds more languishing in jail. While the leader of the opposition and others, as we've just heard,

00:05:39.560 boast about putting for sale signs on the CBC, many around the world are putting up gravestones

00:05:44.840 instead. It's a short trip from rhetorical attacks to the press to actual violence. As journalists

00:05:50.780 perish in jails and newsrooms dim their lights, truth and fiction become harder and harder to

00:05:56.520 distinguish. I am proud to be part of a government that stands with journalists, champions facts over

00:06:01.420 misinformation, and reinforces democratic values, which we hold dear.

00:06:05.280 Yeah, it's quite something when a liberal stands up with a straight face to talk about World Press 0.99

00:06:12.460 Freedom Day. We know all about that. They love to talk about journalists being harassed in other

00:06:18.940 countries. And of course, I don't want journalists harassed anywhere. But they have no comments about

00:06:24.420 journalists being harassed here in Canada, including journalists being jailed here in Canada, including

00:06:32.340 journalists being harassed and beat up and assaulted and falsely arrested by the Liberal Party's bodyguards.

00:06:41.220 For example, this just a few months ago, when Chrystia Freeland's bodyguards arrested David Menzies.

00:06:47.960 Ms. Freeland, how come the IRDC is not a terrorist group? Why is your government supporting Islamo-National? 0.61

00:06:55.820 What are you doing? You're under arrest for assault. Why are you pushing me? You're under arrest for assault.

00:07:04.520 They arrested him, and they humiliated him, and they handcuffed him, and they put him in a police car.

00:07:08.460 But at least they didn't beat him up, like they did a couple years ago when it was Trudeau's bodyguards.

00:07:13.800 This is a horrible video I'm going to show you. But funny how this didn't make it into Tlaib Nur-Mohammed's 1.00

00:07:19.120 little statement about press freedom. Remember this atrocious moment?

00:07:22.660 What are you doing? Get off me! 0.98

00:07:25.440 Hey, I can...

00:07:27.680 Hey, this is assault. I'm on a side...

00:07:31.000 What is this? I'm on a sidewalk.

00:07:33.620 Hey, I'm on a sidewalk. What is this? You cannot touch me. You're not rushing and working.

00:07:43.540 Hey! 0.99

00:07:45.140 Are you kidding? Are you kidding? Let's go of me.

00:07:51.800 What is this?

00:07:54.180 You can't... Am I under arrest? Am I under arrest?

00:07:58.180 As you know, we're suing the government on both of those matters.

00:08:00.760 But that line that Nur-Mohammed said, it's a short trip from rhetorical attacks on the press

00:08:07.420 to actual violence. Well, I guess that's true, because Justin Trudeau has made rhetorical

00:08:14.080 attacks on Rebel News, and then his bodyguards did resort to actual violence. So I suppose

00:08:19.420 there's some truth there. But again, this was not the liberals scrutinizing their own conduct,

00:08:24.460 but rather demonizing and denouncing Pierre Polyev as if he has ever caused or called for violence

00:08:31.640 against journalists. Absolutely outrageous. Stay with us for more.

00:08:37.480 You've heard of the Oscars. You've heard of the Junos. But have you heard of the Teddies? It is an award

00:08:57.120 given out by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, but it's probably not the kind of award you want to win.

00:09:02.920 And here to explain what the Teddies are and who the winners or losers are this year is our friend

00:09:09.420 Franco Teresano, the boss of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. So Franco, great to see you again.

00:09:14.900 Hey, thanks for having me on, Ezra.

00:09:16.460 Well, you know, it's great to see you. I think sometimes there's a prize for a loser. Like in golf, 0.80

00:09:23.380 they always have one prize for the highest score. Just to make the losers feel better about

00:09:30.040 themselves. Tell me about the Teddies. That's not an award you want to win. Am I right? 0.71

00:09:35.740 Yeah, you're absolutely right. So this was our 26th annual Teddy Waste Awards where we give

00:09:41.200 golden pig trophies to, you know, the politician and bureaucrats who go above and beyond in wasting

00:09:47.900 taxpayers money with the funnest or the funniest and worse examples of government waste uncovered

00:09:53.520 over the past year. Now, the Teddies are actually named after a former federal appointee, Ted

00:09:58.380 Wetherall, who back in the 90s had a raft of dubious expenses, including a $700 meal expense to the

00:10:06.020 taxpayer for two. And remember, back in the 90s, 700 bucks nowadays, that'd be like, what, over a grand.

00:10:11.820 So we just had a live event in Calgary handing out these pig-shaped trophies to those politicians

00:10:16.980 and bureaucrats who really deserve it. Wow. Imagine having that named after you. I mean,

00:10:22.400 you know, sometimes in science, they name a comet after someone and they're forever remembered for

00:10:27.580 discovery. But having a waste award named after you, that's got to be a heavy burden. You know,

00:10:33.720 a $700 meal is shocking. It reminds me of that phrase, I think it was in the Canadian Parliament years

00:10:40.320 ago, a million here, a million there. Pretty soon you're talking real money. I mean, these people just

00:10:46.400 throw around taxpayers' money like it's monopoly money. But I guess you got to laugh about it,

00:10:52.620 because what's the alternative? I suppose it's to cry. Tell us who this year's winners are. I guess

00:11:00.280 we're the losers as taxpayers, but who are the winners this year? Well, let's start with the

00:11:05.180 federal government waste winner, CBC president, Catherine Tate, right, handing out $15 million in

00:11:12.200 bonuses at the CBC in 2023. You know, remember in 2023, just before Christmas, Tate announced

00:11:19.680 hundreds of layoffs, all while begging for more taxpayer cash. You know, Tate is claiming the

00:11:25.180 cupboards are bare. The cupboards are bare. We need more taxpayers' money. Well, apparently they're not

00:11:30.200 so bare that the CBC isn't handing out, you know, millions of dollars in bonuses. So Tate is a very

00:11:36.840 worthy recipient of the Federal Waste Award this year for all the bonuses they're paying out at

00:11:42.060 that state broadcaster. You're so right. And she was just in parliament, I think it was yesterday,

00:11:47.020 and she was pressed on it because she claimed no, no, no bonuses, and she wouldn't answer the 0.98

00:11:53.240 question. Let me show you a clip from yesterday. There's a weird, I mean, there's this notion of

00:11:58.940 unparliamentary language. You don't want to be too rude. And the Speaker of the House will say,

00:12:02.860 tut tut, it's weird that MPs can't accuse each other of lying. That's against the rules. But lying

00:12:10.280 itself is not against the rules. I don't know if that applies to committee witnesses. I don't think

00:12:14.280 it does. But I think we got ourselves a bit of a liar here. Take a look at this clip from yesterday.

00:12:20.060 Have you been assigned a bonus for 2023? I realize the board hasn't signed off on it,

00:12:24.620 but have you been assigned a bonus for 2023? No, I have not. You have not been assigned a bonus for

00:12:27.960 2023? I have not. So for 2023, there is no bonus coming your way? I do not know that I have a bonus

00:12:33.740 because the process, as we have described, for governor and council positions is separate from

00:12:40.860 performance pay. My process is that I will be evaluated by the board of directors, a letter of

00:12:47.260 recommendation will go to the government, and the government will reflect upon whether or not

00:12:52.440 I or other appointees would receive any performance pay. Has the board package for that June meeting

00:12:59.300 gone out? No. No. Okay, because you are a member of that board. I am. So you not only have a say with

00:13:05.600 regard to bonuses for the top executives, yourself included, you have a say not only in March when

00:13:11.140 you're a member of the management team, the most senior member of the management team, but then you

00:13:15.000 get a second say at the board level. So with all due respect, you do have a fair bit of power in terms of

00:13:21.220 bonuses. So I'll ask again, will you be up for a bonus in the consideration at the board meeting in

00:13:28.620 June? As I've said previously, this is part of an internal deliberation. It's an HR function,

00:13:38.260 and we have to be respectful of the governance that rules the CBC Radio-Canada. But you do know the

00:13:43.560 answer. I absolutely do not know the answer until I've had those deliberations with the board of

00:13:50.920 directors. I cannot preemptively say what the results of a future conversation will be.

00:13:56.440 Sure. You know what the recommendation is. You know what the recommendation is going forward to

00:14:01.160 the board. I think I've repeated myself enough to say these are matters that concern the organization

00:14:09.900 that operates at arm's length like all crown corporations. And I have to be respectful.

00:14:15.220 You are the senior member of the management team, which makes the decisions. And then those

00:14:19.940 decisions get recommended to the board, which you are a member of the board. Therefore, you have

00:14:24.200 access to information. Point of order, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, this question has been asked,

00:14:28.340 I think, six times now. Well, Franco, I mean, she is in a terrible position because either she admits

00:14:34.100 she gave herself a bonus and she says what it is and she has the wrath of taxpayers for that, 1.00

00:14:40.980 or she just brazens it out. I don't know. I think she is atrocious. I don't know if she's still

00:14:47.260 flying back and forth from her house in Brooklyn to New York. She did that for the longest time. She

00:14:54.280 lived in New York and commuted back and forth to the office for the CBC. And I can only imagine that

00:15:00.900 we paid for those flights. Okay. That's Catherine Tate. I think you're right. I think she's atrocious. 1.00

00:15:05.380 I even think some CBC staff really, really hate her because she's such a bad look for them. 0.99

00:15:14.240 Anyways, let's move on to the next one. Tell me about the provincial teddy winner. So you've got

00:15:20.360 10 provinces and three territories to choose from there. Well, this year's winner went to the

00:15:25.700 Alberta Foundation of the Arts. Okay. They spent $30,000 flying a Lethbridge artist to places like

00:15:33.240 South Korea and New York. Now in New York, you see one of her paintings and I think it could be best

00:15:39.000 described as ants on a Pop-Tart. Okay. Then she went to South Korea and the performance, if we can call

00:15:46.260 it that, essentially just looked like her whopping around on a futon for like eight minutes. And what do 0.91

00:15:52.400 taxpayers get into this? Well, we get a $30,000 bill, uh, courtesy of the Alberta Foundation of

00:15:58.460 the Arts. So honestly, like you got to see this video. We'll be sharing it online at taxpayer.com

00:16:03.880 on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, all that kind of stuff. But once you see it, you will be shocked

00:16:08.480 that taxpayers were forced to pay for this artist to go to fancy places like South Korea and New York.

00:16:14.700 I got two questions for you. The first is it's called the Alberta Foundation for the Arts,

00:16:18.860 which implies it's a charity. Um, but does it get government money? I presume it does since

00:16:24.100 you're the Taxpayers Federation. Yeah, this was, go ahead. This was $30,000 of taxpayers' money to

00:16:30.360 fly this artist. See, that's crazy. I mean, if some rich person wanted to give 30,000 out of their own

00:16:37.400 money to pay for this weird junket, you know what, fill your boots. As the French say, everyone has

00:16:46.420 their taste. But for taxpayers to be pressed to do that. Now, I got to say the obvious. Alberta

00:16:52.540 has, at least in name, a conservative government, Danielle Smith, and before her, Jason Kenney. So

00:16:59.860 this is going on. You can't pawn this off on the liberals or the NDP. This is allegedly in the most

00:17:05.400 conservative government in the country. Well, Ezra, and this is just like the bigger problem when it

00:17:10.160 comes to government waste more broadly, is that a lot of times you have the unelected bureaucrats

00:17:14.840 that are running the show, right? Like you have these politicians, even sometimes, um, the best

00:17:20.400 politicians, if we're being generous here, they may want to cut spending, but then you have so many

00:17:25.520 unelected bureaucrats that are really running the show in government that are making these types of 1.00

00:17:30.260 decisions. So what you got to do is you have to have the unelected politicians really go in there

00:17:35.680 and clean house and totally rearrange who's making the decisions, right? So this is one of the problems

00:17:41.820 we see all the time is that you have these unelected bureaucrats spending buckets of taxpayer

00:17:46.020 cash, essentially just looking for things to spend other people's money on. Yeah. You know what? When

00:17:51.620 I see something called the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, I actually get a good feeling about it

00:17:55.460 because I like all three words. I like Alberta. I like the arts and foundation. In my mind, I think,

00:18:02.100 oh, this is a charity. People are being asked to do something selfless, donate a few bucks. Like I,

00:18:07.780 but it's actually a deceptive name because it's a, the bureaucrats taxpayers fund for, I mean,

00:18:16.000 and art, I guess is in the eye of the beholder. I think that if we wrapped up so many of these

00:18:22.020 government charities and reduced taxes, people would, I think people would give generously. I mean,

00:18:27.760 historically, the arts always had private benefactors, the Renaissance itself. They didn't tax

00:18:34.080 people in Florence. It was the patrons. It was the Medicis, a very wealthy family who said,

00:18:41.100 we want to be known forever. So we're going to make this eternal art. I don't think it was extracted

00:18:47.160 from working people in Florence. I think if we encouraged a spirit of charity and reduced taxes

00:18:55.280 to let people have a few extra bucks in their pocket, we would see charity naturally occurring.

00:19:01.020 And by the way, people would be more insistent that their charity money was spent wisely. Don't

00:19:05.880 you think? Absolutely. I think you're, uh, I think you're absolutely on the money with that one

00:19:10.760 there, Ezra. Now I got to go into one more example, at least. Okay. The lifetime achievement

00:19:15.580 award. Okay. This is the big one. It's our most prestigious award folks. You know,

00:19:20.800 Bev Oda has won the award, uh, Bombardier, governor's general. This year's award is a little known

00:19:26.900 slush fund that you may not have heard of. And that is now axed in large part because of the

00:19:31.900 Canadian taxpayers federation work on this, but it's the mission cultural fund. Okay. Now it's

00:19:39.280 these, it's these names, Franco, because who could be against a mission cultural fund? Tell me what it

00:19:45.060 really does though. What's it really about? Well, listen to this. Okay. Listen to this. It was a federal

00:19:49.640 slush fund in global affairs, Canada. And they, they spent money like a $10,000 birthday party for

00:19:56.620 Margaret Atwood in New York. Oh, come on. She surely has her own friends. She can have her own birthday 0.97

00:20:02.580 party. Yeah. She's got her own money too. Yeah. Uh, and then how about this one? A $52,000 photo

00:20:09.040 exhibit for rock star Brian Adams. So he could show off his totally awesome photos, including one of

00:20:14.640 Trudeau. And folks, that's why he got started. You know, I like Brian Adams. I grew up listening

00:20:20.680 to him. I think he's a good egg from what I can tell. And he is a good photographer. He's also a

00:20:26.240 gazillionaire who has all sorts of corporate support, his music label. He, why taxpayers would

00:20:34.040 have to pay for Brian Adams, a literal rock star to have an exhibit. I think you gave away the answer

00:20:41.600 though, because he took a picture of Justin Trudeau. I think that's why.

00:20:45.920 Well, okay, folks. And here's a warning. If you got children in the room, it's might get a little

00:20:50.860 crazy, but this was from the government. Okay. They spent $8,800 on a sex toy show in Germany,

00:20:59.460 8,800 bucks on a sex toy show in Germany. It gets worse. Uh, we found this description from the

00:21:05.900 government of another musical, a lesbian pirate musical featuring physically disabled performers,

00:21:12.480 uh, who met in love while cross-dressing as male pirates. Your money paid for that performance. 0.69

00:21:20.160 And you know what though, after all of this, uh, the mission cultural fund, they stuck with it

00:21:25.440 until there was one thing that finally put it over the top. And what was the one thing that finally

00:21:30.920 killed the mission cultural fund? I don't want to even guess. I have, I'm too scared to guess,

00:21:34.960 Franco. Sex stories from senior citizens in other countries. Okay. So the federal government 0.95

00:21:41.440 dropped 12 grand paying senior citizens in other countries to talk about their sex lives

00:21:47.100 in front of live audiences. And folks, these weren't even Canadian seniors. Ezra,

00:21:52.940 we were outsourcing old people's sex stories.

00:21:57.260 You know what? I've got a million questions about that that pop into mind,

00:22:02.200 but I'll stick with the safe one, which is why on earth were we paying for that? You know,

00:22:07.680 they just, I suppose every government when, I mean, Trudeau's been in office for nine years now,

00:22:12.960 I suppose every government gets really, really comfortable spending other people's money.

00:22:17.480 I bet a lot of this is the deep state, the, the permanent bureaucrats who never changed with the

00:22:23.460 election. But, um, I think there's a lot of room to cut the fat before we raise taxes on people. 0.99

00:22:29.040 That's for sure. Franco, you guys are doing important work. And as we indicated a moment

00:22:33.440 ago, it's nonpartisan work. What I like about you guys is you're willing to call out the overspending

00:22:39.060 and waste of taxpayers' money, even, and especially by conservative parties. And that's why people trust

00:22:44.740 you, Franco, because they know you're not in anyone's pocket. They know you're a hundred percent,

00:22:49.560 uh, membership supporters, like ordinary people, crowdfunding. And, and so you can call out,

00:22:56.840 quote, our team speaking as a conservative, and that's extremely valuable. So keep up the great

00:23:02.780 work. What's the website people can go to check it out? Taxpayer.com. That's a great website.

00:23:08.560 Taxpayer.com. There is Franco Teresano, one of the good guys. Keep in touch, my friend.

00:23:13.100 Thanks, Ezra. Appreciate it. Okay. See you later. Stay with us. More ahead.

00:23:17.080 Hey, welcome back. Some letters about my trip to Ireland. Aid says, letting an aggressive young

00:23:33.180 man into a country or city or town or village, what can go wrong? It's almost like someone wants

00:23:37.920 trouble. Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, by the way, uh, a lot of the migrants in Ireland are Ukrainian 1.00

00:23:45.440 and putting aside, uh, the issues of the war, shouldn't a young military age Ukrainian be

00:23:53.860 fighting in Ukraine? Certainly Vladimir Zelensky says so. I don't know why, uh, and when you saw me

00:24:01.400 going through that migrant camp along the canal in Ireland, I only saw men. Why are single men 1.00

00:24:08.540 coming in as refugees? I don't get it. Vinstar says, the Irish didn't fight for their land for 0.99

00:24:14.700 centuries to be extinguished from their own country. Leave the EU. Start there. I did meet

00:24:21.100 a couple of candidates for an Irish Brexit when I was there. That was interesting. But I got to say

00:24:26.740 this. Who made the decision to bring so many migrants to Ireland? Well, the influence came from 1.00

00:24:35.280 NGOs and George Soros and the UN and the EU, the World Economic Forum. Sure, the influence did.

00:24:41.060 But the final decision, it seems to me, was made by the Irish government itself. That's what's so

00:24:50.300 astonishing. And Sinn Féin, which is one of the left-wing parties there, uh, I only knew it as the

00:24:57.160 political face of the, um, IRA, you would think that they would be the most adamant about Irish

00:25:04.040 sovereignty. Again, I shouldn't wander around historical issues about which I know very little.

00:25:10.000 But it was astonishing to me to learn that Sinn Féin is for open borders. Brother, I thought you

00:25:16.300 were for Ireland for the Irish. Very unusual, but I'm very glad I went there. I hope to go back again.

00:25:23.820 Well, that's the show for today. Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World

00:25:28.200 Headquarters to you at home. Good night, and keep fighting for freedom.

00:25:34.580 David Menzies for Rebel News here at so-called Little Gaza. That would be the lawns of the 0.76

00:25:40.620 University of Toronto. We have several members of the Jewish community and their allies, uh,

00:25:46.620 marching, doing a counter-demonstration against the, well, the Hitler Youth Movement that has occupied

00:25:52.940 the lawns for a week now. And I am with, uh, a supporter here. Sir, what is your name again?

00:25:59.440 Aaron Hadita. I'm the National Director of He Root Canada.

00:26:02.800 Okay. Sir, who do you have more contempt for? The thugs that are occupying the lawns or the

00:26:10.280 administration that is allowing them and enabling them to do so?

00:26:14.820 That's a great question, David. Absolutely the administration. This should never be allowed.

00:26:20.220 This is Canada. This is not some Middle Eastern country. This isn't a third world country.

00:26:26.680 This is Canada. We're here to uphold Canadian values and show everybody that we are allowed

00:26:32.860 freedom here. We're not afraid to express our freedoms. We're not afraid of these people.

00:26:38.780 We came to show them they can set up a thousand camps and we will walk into every one of them

00:26:43.580 because this is a free country. I would challenge you on that, sir. Can you actually walk onto the

00:26:48.600 lawns? My cameraman, Lincoln Jay, and I were here on Monday and we saw many despicable scenes,

00:26:53.760 but the worst was two elderly Jewish U of T professors who were physically barred from walking

00:27:01.300 onto the lawns. And the special constables, they said nothing and shrugged their shoulders.

00:27:06.680 Well, okay. So, so absolutely not. You can't walk onto them. They've got it fenced off.

00:27:12.240 They've got their little security guys watching the perimeter of the fences and the administration,

00:27:18.500 again, is responsible for that. A Jewish student who goes to school here, whose parents are funding 0.93

00:27:23.580 it, are not allowed to go to class. That is the biggest travesty of it all. And we are here to

00:27:29.900 show people that this is Canada. This isn't a communist country yet, but this is Canada. And at the end

00:27:36.680 of the day, we're here to support Canada, Canadian values, our beloved country of Israel, and all of

00:27:42.760 the Jewish community and the beautiful Jewish students that go here and that need to see that

00:27:48.100 they have massive support. At the end of the day, it's the administration appeasing the crowd and,

00:27:54.140 and, and it's Riot Control 101. Appease the bigger crowd because it's a lot easier than appeasing the

00:28:00.460 smaller crowd. They are calling people in Israel occupiers while occupying universities around

00:28:06.660 the world. This is a game to these students. They think they're reliving Woodstock or the 60s and

00:28:12.200 rebelling at Berkeley. This is not what's happening. They don't know what their cause is. They don't

00:28:18.000 know anything about the cause. If you ask them which river and which sea, they scratch their heads.

00:28:23.380 The bottom line is they're doing this for fun. It's the new TikTok trend to them. That's all it is.

00:28:29.600 It's the two eyes, isn't it? Ignorance and indoctrination on campus.

00:28:33.260 Absolutely. And who better to indoctrinate than the ignorant? I think you're right. I don't think 1.00

00:28:38.620 they can name the river and the sea. I don't think they could pinpoint Gaz on a map if you'd ask them

00:28:43.480 to. No, they're taking up a cause for something they have no historical knowledge about. They have

00:28:49.980 no idea. They don't know where the region is. They don't know who the people are. They don't know who's

00:28:54.580 indigenous to the land. They don't know who isn't. The bottom line is they don't care. All they care about

00:29:00.580 is that they're rebelling against the system. That's all it is. The keffiyeh that they're wearing 0.99

00:29:06.480 is a form of rebellion. They're emulating terrorists and it's being allowed to happen

00:29:12.200 in North America. We do not allow that type of behaviour in a democratic society yet here we are.

00:29:18.660 You can have an encampment over here on private property espousing genocide from the river to the

00:29:34.140 sea, intifada, and that's okay. Can you explain that to me? I have no words. I can't explain it

00:29:40.840 myself. I think we have to ask our government what's going on. I, for the life of me, cannot

00:29:45.920 understand why the university allows this terror encampment to continue. And I worry that the

00:29:53.920 university is actually aiding and abetting because it's university fencing, it's university property.

00:30:00.880 I don't know how porta potties got brought in there and I don't understand why there is a gatekeeping

00:30:07.920 happening to who gets admitted and who doesn't get admitted where Jews are actually excluded from

00:30:13.840 entering the encampment, even university professors who happen to be Jewish. They have no idea the

00:30:20.160 history of Israel or that land when they have and they are calling and chanting from the river

00:30:28.880 to the sea. What you say, they have no idea which river and which sea. They have no idea what's mean

00:30:34.640 that. And it's very concerning. I, I comment, I escaped from a dictatorship who put you in jail

00:30:42.320 for your belief, for you speak in, in public for public demonstration and now see that kind of a

00:30:50.400 behavior here in Canada. They, they hate the speech that they are and it's, it's insane.

00:30:56.240 We are here for Canada. Today we are here for Canada. Why we are here? For Canada!

00:31:05.760 Why we are here? For Canada!
