Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ The Crisis of the Young Canadian Male： Anger, Disconnection, and Misguided Solutions

00:00:00.000 hello my friends the ctv has a study that shows that young men are angsty and angry i think

00:00:08.560 they're right i think it's obvious but what do we do about it i'll show you ctv's view

00:00:12.280 and then i'll tell you my own but first let me invite you to become a subscriber to rebel news

00:00:26.780 on that dough because we take no money from the government and it shows

00:00:30.740 tonight why does society make it so hard for young men i'll show you a new survey that tries to answer

00:00:52.400 that and a tv station trying to figure out who to blame it's november 12th and this is the azure

00:00:57.920 levant show

00:00:58.620 shame on you you sensorism bug

00:01:04.860 i saw this tweet on ctv which i am increasingly of the view is just as much a mouthpiece of the

00:01:20.080 liberal government as the cbc is here's a tweet here half of young canadian men are at risk of

00:01:26.200 problem anger survey finds and my antenna are out for what a feminist outlet like ctv would do here if 1.00

00:01:34.980 if men have mental health challenges obviously blame the men there's a little bit of that undercurrent

00:01:40.980 here i think in the wording but let me read the story a bit for you which says half of young

00:01:46.960 canadian men risk letting their anger interfere with their daily life relationships and work

00:01:53.640 new research suggests a survey conducted for intentions consulting and the canadian men's health

00:02:00.100 foundation found that 50 percent of men between the ages of 19 and 29 are at risk of quote

00:02:04.800 problem anger compared to just 22 percent of all canadian men

00:02:09.380 the findings reveal a troubling reality and warn of deeper stress

00:02:14.580 and disconnection from support system for young men the cmhf said in a wednesday press release

00:02:20.960 all right i suppose it's sort of neutral so far let me read some more because the next line actually

00:02:26.520 surprised me a little bit and it surprised me that ctv published it it's startling but not shocking

00:02:33.700 cmhf president and ceo kenton boston told ctv news channel on wednesday boston said young men like

00:02:41.600 many canadians experience economic stressors including affordability concerns job insecurity

00:02:47.460 and a lack of housing options now i think that's true and i'd add in more like the entire entertainment

00:02:53.920 industry demonizing men especially young men as toxic like the entire world denigrating masculinity

00:03:01.560 and promoting i don't know transgenderism instead that health foundation spokesman mentioned affordability

00:03:09.320 jobs and housing i can combine those words all into one immigration that's why wages are low that's why 0.97

00:03:17.280 inflation is up that's why housing is so high it just is let me read some more there's also the switch

00:03:23.440 that's happened in society about masculinity and the negative conversations that are often associated

00:03:28.560 with that now and that all combines to put pressure on young men in particular he said

00:03:33.180 right like ctv a feminist leftist anti-male advocacy group posing as a news station the story then quotes

00:03:42.960 some results from the study the survey found that 39 percent of canadian men between 19 and 29 reported

00:03:50.200 a violent impulse when getting angry within the last month compared to 16 percent of all canadian men

00:03:57.100 boston said it's important for young men to develop ways to deal with their anger before an impulse turns

00:04:02.700 into action incidents of where your fuse is shorter than it normally is those are the real signs about

00:04:09.300 things to be challenged and looked into to make sure there is support to help to alleviate that angst and

00:04:15.500 anger so he's saying that young men are angrier than older men i actually think that's been true for all 1.00

00:04:22.140 history young men are full of vim and vigor and instinct to travel and explore and fight and go on

00:04:30.200 adventures and prove that they're men young men traditionally join the army or they you know found

00:04:36.920 other adventures in business that had similar mindsets like thoughtful risk-taking and endurance

00:04:42.880 i have no doubt that young men are angrier at a system that is jacked up housing beyond their reach

00:04:49.280 which then makes marriage less feasible marriage of course transforms male impulses into productive 0.78

00:04:55.360 ones earning a living protecting the family you can't do that without a family you can't get a

00:05:00.560 family without a house but what's the advice of this expert he wants it to be sure that there is

00:05:06.140 support to help to alleviate that angst and anger you know maybe i'm just a skeptic but i don't know if

00:05:13.460 therapy typically that's with a middle-aged female psychologist i don't know if therapy is an answer for 0.91

00:05:20.120 young men feeling stressed and angsty i just don't think that calling some government helpline

00:05:26.820 is how it works in the real world with young men i don't think sharing your feelings with an expert

00:05:33.000 works in many cases let alone for young men i think men have traditionally hung out

00:05:38.240 with other men role models colleagues peers not whining and crying but just being guys

00:05:45.820 in pubs in a club a men's club there used to be those and i'm not talking about a dance club i mean

00:05:52.300 for generation there were men's clubs and women's clubs i suppose but mainly men's clubs a place where

00:05:58.700 they could get away it's sort of like the man cave in a house rotary club lions club even a bowling

00:06:04.100 league there were male things to do a ton of different clubs some of them were a little bit 1.00

00:06:08.040 quirky to be sure but it was a place for guys to be guys just even for a few hours a week these days

00:06:13.320 those are all called sexist and often a same-sex club has been soothed into oblivion fraternities

00:06:21.440 are practically banned from colleges groups like the proud boys started by our alumnus gavin mckinnis

00:06:28.200 that's basically a masculine club that venerated the west that was actually deemed a terrorist group by

00:06:34.040 justin trudeau with no basis by the way i don't know i think the study is right men are angry

00:06:40.020 especially young men i think the study halfway gets the explanation for why i think it failed in the

00:06:47.140 what are we going to do about it part i think part of the reason that young men are becoming nihilist

00:06:52.500 trolls like that nick fuentes is because the usual outlets for male aggression having a healthy

00:06:58.260 relationship with a wife and building a family and shouldering the heavy burden and making a living 0.95

00:07:03.120 for the whole family that would take all a man's energy and angst you'd be exhausted but all of

00:07:08.420 those things have been removed as they've been removed for women too no wonder the birth rate is 1.00

00:07:14.140 plummeting and the globalist left solution replacement immigration only makes the problem worse 0.96

00:07:21.540 stay with us for more

00:07:23.800 hi everybody remember yesterday when i told you about this big idea for mark carney to expand the

00:07:37.960 size of our military not by actually hiring more soldiers who are ready to fight as warriors but by

00:07:44.720 calling existing civil servants soldiers for the purpose of tricking the united states and say no

00:07:52.700 no donald trump you see we have doubled our defense budget because we're simply calling paper pushers

00:07:58.840 in the department of whatever we're calling them part of the reserve now it's sort of ridiculous

00:08:03.760 um one of you know here's the phrase from david pugliese's report in the ottawa citizen you heard me say

00:08:10.420 this yesterday they'll shoot guns drive trucks and fly drones i have to tell you i have done all three

00:08:16.600 of those things and they're fun it's like the old joke about the american atf alcohol tobacco and firearms

00:08:23.400 bureau that does sound like a party um is it good defense is it good economics is it is does it make any sense

00:08:32.560 joining us to talk about this is someone who thinks a lot about firearms it's our friend tracy

00:08:37.580 wilson with the canadian coalition of for firearms rights tracy great to see you again

00:08:43.740 thanks for uh having me i'm really happy to be here you know it's a very strange story uh my first

00:08:50.260 thought was this is wacky i don't even get it my second thought was ah this is a trick to re

00:08:55.560 reclassify paper pushing bureaucrats as military expenses it's just an accounting trick my third idea

00:09:03.280 my third thought that i thunk was maybe it'll get people who would never in their lives have touched

00:09:11.020 a firearm maybe it'll get them some firearms training maybe it'll normalize gun ownership i

00:09:17.600 thought i mean those are some of my thoughts what did you think of when you heard this sort of

00:09:22.200 cockamamie idea to get paper pushing bureaucrats to become a kind of reserve well i can tell you that

00:09:28.940 although i have never personally served in the military i'm not a veteran there's about 70 years

00:09:33.640 of military experience sitting at my dining room table and you know hearing this it sounds like

00:09:39.320 something out of south park it was you know it all relates back to a directive signed by the chief

00:09:46.260 of defense staff general uh jenny kerrigan where she's looking for ways to increase the reserve force

00:09:52.200 of course it's not only is the army completely understaffed in canada but so are our reserve force

00:09:58.700 and our supplementary supplementary reserves and she's looking to boost that by 300 000 which is insane

00:10:05.320 so this would include one week of training they'd learn how to handle firearms drive trucks fly drones

00:10:12.200 um they would prioritize public servants over regular average citizens by reducing those entry requirements

00:10:20.440 such as age and physical ability and fitness so i personally i think it's a recipe for disaster i think the

00:10:28.180 canadian military has a rich uh solid history in producing some of the world's greatest warriors

00:10:33.800 and i think that this idea sort of diminishes that i took a little run over to the reddit thread

00:10:40.740 um with the public servants on there and they're pretty much saying the same thing so it's hilarious

00:10:46.320 they're making fun of their own co-workers in there and you know at the end of the day i see what carney's

00:10:52.820 trying to do here you are right he is trying to fluff up those numbers to show that he is investing in defense

00:10:58.660 spending but at the same time our existing regular force uh uh members are working with broken or out of date

00:11:08.560 kit you know they're missing things they're eating expired moldy rations you know there's all kinds of places

00:11:15.900 where we can invest money in our military aside from uh crossing over paper pushers to uh to call them uh

00:11:24.440 you know makeshift warriors you know i think it's designed to trick trump although i don't think it'll

00:11:30.060 trick him i think it's designed to trick the public but mainly it's to it's to fool ourselves i mean

00:11:37.160 no one thinks that this will be part of a fighting force i mean and i really don't i have a tough time

00:11:45.480 imagining someone who is you know the average age of the civil servants is 45 and listen i'm not saying

00:11:52.280 45 year olds can't do things but when when i think of the military i think of young men in their 20s 0.96

00:11:58.240 physically top fitness who can run who can march who can do pull-ups who can like i think of

00:12:04.300 the same thing when i think of firemen if you're not able to to carry someone over your shoulder

00:12:10.020 down the stairs don't become a fireman it's not quote discrimination other than in the true meaning

00:12:16.360 of the sense if you can't do it you you're not allowed to do it i don't know i just i think that

00:12:21.200 it's the most unserious thing i've heard in ages yes and it's so contrast so starkly

00:12:29.240 with pete hegeseth's warrior culture that he's bringing back in the states yeah i would agree

00:12:35.460 with you on that and and like look there are a lot of positions within the military that are

00:12:39.980 administrative that are you know people sitting at a desk doing paperwork like that but those people

00:12:45.260 don't need firearms handling or learn how to fly a drone so if you're looking to repurpose

00:12:50.540 as public servants as a measure to reduce spending in the public service and increase your military

00:12:56.560 spending that's you know presented as that but don't try to pretend that you're going to take

00:13:03.480 you know 50 or 60 year old people and like i mean i'm in that category right and and send them out 0.86

00:13:09.480 there to be soldiers um yeah i i think it's dishonest and i think that on the world stage it's sort of

00:13:16.420 it looks like buffoonery and i worry about um you know the degradation of our canadian military

00:13:24.340 history when it's almost become like an internet meme at this point yeah you know i don't want to

00:13:31.940 make light of it even though it's so goofy but it does sound like a low budget movie starring eugene

00:13:40.260 levy as some you know 70 year old civil servant who somehow through a type typographical error gets

00:13:48.940 recruited into the military or something like i could just picture yeah him and his eyebrows just

00:13:53.840 going full tilt and maybe catherine o'hare again you know basically the crew from schitt's creek

00:13:58.000 um like it's so goofy there's so many rich storylines but that's because it's all making the canadian

00:14:05.400 forces the punchline of a joke and i whenever i see something in the military about you know we want

00:14:12.720 to reduce the carbon footprint of our military vehicles we have to be aware of the carbon footprint

00:14:19.880 i think what would xi jinping think what would vladimir putin think what would be and both of

00:14:26.180 those countries by the way are trying to make claims in the arctic like this is not all theoretical

00:14:31.340 both china and russia have ambitions for the far north how does training you know a pink collar or

00:14:37.940 white collar civil servant in ottawa to drive a truck have anything to do with protecting our arctic

00:14:44.140 there's also this other uh theory that i have you know it's almost like a dystopian

00:14:49.440 idea of disarming your trained and tested uh civilians at the same time that you're militarizing

00:15:00.240 your bureaucratic public service wow wow wow wow and i i'd like i'm not you know i'm trying to loosen

00:15:06.980 the tinfoil in my hat here but i can't help but think about this you know over the last six years

00:15:12.360 of this liberal regime we've got gun ban after gun ban on people like me who are already tested we are

00:15:21.420 trained we are vetted we already know how to use those things then they decide to ban those then they

00:15:27.940 decide to talk about maybe taking them away from us confiscating them and sending them to ukraine 0.95

00:15:33.440 and now all of a sudden in the midst of all this instead of dropping that plan and maybe looking

00:15:39.420 at the civilian firearm ownership community for the possibility of reservists now they're looking at

00:15:46.840 a bunch of uh paper pushers and talking about arming them up so i don't know i think when you have a

00:15:53.740 government that is disarming its tested and trained citizens at the same time that it's arming up

00:15:59.560 it's bureaucrats i don't know it just it it makes it even worse than a south park joke you know uh you

00:16:06.840 that's a very uh dystopian scenario you've just outlined i just came back from the ostrich farm in bc

00:16:15.400 where there was an enormous amount of government firepower the protesters the farmers completely

00:16:22.380 peaceful not even a hint of resistance or force but the cfia the canadian food and conspection

00:16:29.220 agency the rcmp had a huge show of force and then there was these anonymous marksmen as they

00:16:36.700 were called that were brought in to shoot hundreds of birds overnight well and it sort of speaks to

00:16:43.360 that property rights issue you know when we started our federal court challenge against the gun ban we

00:16:49.040 looked at it excuse me as more of a a property rights thing like can the government come into your

00:16:55.640 home or into your space right and take away things from you that you've legally owned with no you know

00:17:01.080 you've done nothing to warrant that and unfortunately so far in the uh in the court battle we've seen

00:17:06.760 that the the truth is yes so whether it's your firearms or your ostriches the government can take

00:17:12.080 or destroy anything it wants from you and that's you know that's something that all canadians should

00:17:17.400 have a look at i what what's next down the line i feel like gun owners were just the canary in the

00:17:22.680 coal mine and uh we may we may see more of this type of behavior you're so right and and i think it

00:17:29.020 a lot of political extremism by the government is only possible with a disarmed population like i i'm not 1.00

00:17:39.120 sure if that absurd nonsensical anti-science bullying ostrich massacre would have happened in a place like

00:17:48.920 texas or florida i think it it would more likely happen in a place like canada that is completely

00:17:56.060 disarmed and where the government is getting more and more audacious and and of course let me just

00:18:00.780 clarify if anyone misunderstands me i'm not saying that anyone should have used firearms to stop the

00:18:06.920 government i'm not saying that but there is some reason in the second amendment and the united states

00:18:14.000 that the people have some power reserved to them in case all hell breaks loose like the the u.s

00:18:20.640 revolutionary war has been lawfully you know vindicated in the form of the u.s constitution

00:18:27.340 i don't know i just think a lot of bad things are happening because we are becoming physically

00:18:31.980 weaker and weaker and the government is becoming physically stronger and stronger yeah well that's

00:18:36.860 another reason why canadians should really have a look at this i mean look i i get it there you know

00:18:42.480 with the budget and the state of the economy that 10 years of the trudeau government and now the

00:18:47.700 carny government has put us in yes there needs to be cuts to the bloated uh public service i i

00:18:53.700 understand that and yes we need to uh find better ways to recruit people into the military and to

00:19:01.180 retain the people that are already there who are good soldiers this i don't believe is the way so i you

00:19:07.940 know i i think that um unfortunately it's it makes a fool of us on the world stage and sometimes that

00:19:14.160 matters more than anything so i worry about those things tracy thanks so much for spending some time

00:19:19.920 with us good good luck out there keep up the fight thanks ezra all right there it is tracy wilson

00:19:24.980 from the canadian coalition of firearm rights stay with us more ahead

00:19:29.580 hey welcome back your letters to me about this scheme to turn bureaucrats into soldiers let me read

00:19:46.240 those letters jojo pags 6667 says sounds like a new movie like police academy coming soon that's exactly

00:19:54.260 what i was thinking i thought it would be sillier than that because i mean you could just imagine i

00:19:58.940 mean and i'm not picking on civil servants really but the average age of a civil servant is the average

00:20:05.560 demographic is a late 40s woman who works at a desk uh i got nothing against late 40s women who work at a 1.00

00:20:15.920 desk but that's not a demographic that's going to go to war it just isn't papa bear 187 says how many of

00:20:23.700 those public servants are new canadians that won't pass a security check well that's another

00:20:28.260 thing is we've reduced the standards to be in the canadian military i'm not smart enough to have an

00:20:35.840 opinion on should people who are permanent residents or applying to become citizens join the army but

00:20:41.100 these days i would be nervous if we had foreign nationals who haven't sworn an oath of allegiance to 0.96

00:20:47.360 canada i'd be nervous if they were in the military and i don't know the answer off the top of my head

00:20:51.580 but i bet that they are allowed in and i don't know if that makes sense in this day and age

00:20:56.220 entity 752 says you are missing the big picture the cost of these employees will be woven into

00:21:02.600 canada's two percent contribution to nato this is how they will go from 1.3 percent to two percent

00:21:07.300 now that was my first instinct that's my biggest point is it's all an accounting trick it's just like

00:21:13.780 what mark carney did when he claimed he was going to hire a thousand new border guards to stop

00:21:18.640 migration and drugs across the border no he just renamed all paper pushers in the department as

00:21:25.280 border guards even though none of them had ever been near the border and didn't guard anything

00:21:29.800 exact same thing here the question is will trump be fooled i don't know i don't think trump pays a lot

00:21:36.720 of attention to canada but every once in a while he certainly does i think this is just a trick

00:21:41.140 that's our show for today until tomorrow on behalf of all of us here at rebel world headquarters to

00:21:47.100 you at home good night and keep fighting for freedom

00:21:49.840 absolute horror that is what i captured for you and what i witnessed firsthand on november 6th and 7th

00:22:04.000 in edgewood british columbia at universal ostrich farms the farmers their loved ones their neighbors

00:22:11.360 and supporters screaming through the evening as hundreds of bullets riddled through the night

00:22:19.260 impaling what was their healthy vibrant flock of over 300 ostriches what some of the supporters

00:22:27.500 are seeing and i'm going to make a phone call to katie's cousin who is also

00:22:32.320 breaking it sounds as though gunshots are being heard at the pen my birds are getting shot slowly

00:22:43.360 and dying they're suffering they're not getting shot in the head they're not doing it humanly

00:22:47.580 the cfia canadian food inspection agency under the liberal government hired professional marksmen

00:22:54.220 to corner these ostriches in droves into a pen and hunt them down many of you saw some of the horrific 0.98

00:23:06.520 footage from that night it symboled the end of the save the ostriches battle and the beginning

00:23:14.540 of avenging the ostriches i'm dreya humphrey with rebel news and to start that at our special website

00:23:21.680 called avengetheostriches.com today i interview a whistleblower of sorts who was brought to my

00:23:27.940 attention by sean rickard a canadian businessman who's still challenging the federal government

00:23:33.000 over covet 19 overreach this whistleblower whom i identified is a seasoned person in the industry

00:23:41.360 who will be keeping anonymous who is an expert when it comes to calling he is going to speak to the

00:23:48.620 canadian food inspection agencies claims that what they did on that night was humane here's what he

00:23:56.580 has to say tell us why it was so important for you to come forward with what you're feeling and what

00:24:03.680 you believe when i saw what happened having such experience in the industry i knew that there was

00:24:08.940 no way it was humane it was done at night under floodlight and those animals would have been running

00:24:14.040 around normally when you euthanize an animal you have it in a confined space some animals do get

00:24:20.000 stressed but you normally have it confined where it can't run around or move consistently because if

00:24:25.120 you don't get a direct shot you don't euthanize the animal instantly to put two guys in towers as i

00:24:30.940 believe it and just take random shots at an ostrich is not fair an ostrich runs at i think it's 43 or 45

00:24:37.880 miles an hour i don't believe there's any marksman in the world that would get a direct hit into the brain

00:24:43.160 of an animal that's running 43 to 45 miles an hour with an ostrich head being probably 10 square

00:24:48.680 centimeters and it just outraged me and in your expert opinion could you please describe what you

00:24:55.540 think would have been the most humane way to have gone ahead and done this the most humane way would

00:25:02.760 have been to round all the animals up put them in through a shed and walk them through a crack like

00:25:08.020 you do with most animals when you drench them or you shorn them and then put the bag over the head

00:25:13.080 walk them into a confined area and then put a euthanasia gun directly on the head pull the

00:25:19.320 trigger one shot bang dead you wouldn't take your pet dog or your cow to a place and let someone take 0.96

00:25:29.420 four or five shots and putting it to sleep when you take your dog to the vet they give an injection 0.99

00:25:35.020 that's humane when you put a cow down on a farm you shoot it in the head that's humane when you 0.92

00:25:41.540 slaughter meat for human consumption you shoot it once straight into the brain that's humane you 0.99

00:25:47.280 would not stand a cow out on a farm and say we're going to eat it and just take nine or ten shots at 0.79

00:25:51.960 it and hope you hit a bottle open and kill it what can you say about how fast it was done everything i

00:25:58.120 had researched ahead of time indicated this was going to take a while i would say it probably took 0.99

00:26:04.740 around six hours uh for them to go ahead and slaughter hundreds of ostriches do you make

00:26:13.940 anything of that no that was not the quickest and most humane way to do it i think it was done as a

00:26:19.840 message to serve a lot of people i think there will be more to come when they start looking at

00:26:24.620 poultry and also the other thing is i don't really notice ostriches are not poultry they are red meat

00:26:31.420 there is a difference yes that's what the farmers tried to argue even our canadian government

00:26:37.380 specifies that yet the cfia would not budge when it came to these healthy ostriches this is definitely

00:26:46.060 planned because they said that for starters the appeals court wouldn't even look at it they kicked

00:26:52.240 it out before they got there and why wouldn't the cfia let the people retest it that would be like

00:26:58.520 saying sorry your dad's got cancer and then we can give him made and you say well let's get a

00:27:03.100 second opinion and they say oh no we just can give him made so sad too bad he's dead now you don't do

00:27:09.000 that you just don't do that now you're an expert you've come forward what can you tell us is it just

00:27:15.620 you or do you know that other people in the industry are feeling the exact same way people that own

00:27:22.140 slaughterhouses are outraged as well but they cannot be seen to come forward the cfia can shut

00:27:27.640 them down and as we know if you go against a government in this country you tend to not do

00:27:32.720 very well in the future well again i thank you so much for your bravery for coming forward

00:27:37.720 uh we will of course conceal and protect your identity very important information

00:27:43.220 humane or horrific you tell me in the comments whose side of this story you believe i'm drea humphrey
