On the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack on a Jewish synagogue in Canada, why is there still no indicting anyone in Canada for the attack? And why is it that no one has been charged in connection with it?
00:00:36.940It's the news event of the year. Canada's most controversial premier sits down with Canada's
00:00:42.480most controversial journalist, and everything is on the table. Come watch Ezra Levant one-on-one
00:00:48.580with Alberta premier Danielle Smith in front of a live studio audience in Calgary. Nothing's
00:00:54.380off-limits. Nothing's held back. Questions that would make Justin Trudeau invoke martial
00:00:59.720law. Answers that will make Stephen Gilbeau pee his pants. You're not going to want to miss
00:01:05.480this one, but you have to be there in person at the Rebel News Live megaconference in Calgary
00:01:12.060on October the 5th. Tickets are limited, so drop everything, and go to rebelnewslive.com
00:01:17.880right now. Special discounted prices for Patriots and special extra high prices if you're with
00:01:24.020the CBC. Go to rebelnewslive.com now. Tonight, the war in the Middle East, including
00:01:30.880its front lines here in Canada. It's October 2nd, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:35.260You know, we're coming up on the one-year anniversary of October 7th. Israel's 9-11
00:01:55.920times 20, proportionately. It was an absolute massacre, the worst killing of Jews since the
00:02:03.340Holocaust. It was a starter pistol for a global jihadist movement, and a lot of that is happening
00:02:12.500here in Canada and in the United States and Europe as well. Listen to the chants. These would have been
00:02:18.460shocking a year ago, but now they're commonplace. Things like, from the river to the sea, or globalize
00:02:25.540the Intifada. Maybe those don't mean as much to you as Sieg Heil or some Hitler Nazi chants, but they
00:02:32.240really mean the same thing. Globalize the Intifada means have violent terrorism everywhere. It's what
00:02:38.260it means. From the river to the sea is shorthand for kill all the Jews in Israel.
00:02:42.680But they don't just mean Israel, because they're here in Canada too. There's violence here. There's arson. There's terrifying
00:02:58.680things. And actual terrorism charges seem to be laid almost every month. I mean, we're almost used to the new normal of vandalism and other crimes, constant threats and menaces, masked thugs that police are
00:03:28.680deferred to or even bring coffee to. The law is not being enforced. I asked Ontario's solicitor general, the cabinet minister in charge of the police for this province, why he was not laying charges for obvious crimes, including when Hamas masked protesters surrounded a Jewish synagogue and beset it for half a day.
00:03:51.740There's actually a specific criminal code prohibition on that. I asked him. He didn't have a good answer other than to tell me he was a proud Jew, which is sort of beside the point. And I don't think it's an excuse. Take a listen.
00:04:03.660How come there were no charges under Section 176 of the criminal code besetting a house of worship when all those protesters were outside the Bayat synagogue in Thornhill?
00:04:14.400Well, it's a question that you're going to have to ask the York Regional Police or the Attorney General. I'm here because I'm not going to see my community intimidated. I speak out all the time in support of our Jewish community. I'm not afraid to wear my kippah. I'm not afraid to go to synagogue every Sabbath, every Shabbat. And I'm going to do everything that I can to stand up for our inherent right to live safely in our own homes and communities. And I'm not going to stop.
00:04:42.180Everything short of prosecuting them, though, right? I mean, the U of T remains encamped with an illegal encampment. You're very good on Twitter, but have you actually done any prosecutions?
00:04:52.860Well, again, this is something that you have to speak to the Attorney General.
00:04:56.080He's your colleague. You're in the government. Why should you're on the inside?
00:04:59.500No, what I can tell you is I'm working every day to tweeting every day that our legislation, that our regulations are adhered to. I'm standing up with my community.
00:05:09.680I've been 34 weeks almost every single week to the rally of Bathurst and Shepard in support of remembering the hostages who have been held against their will in captivity in Gaza.
00:05:21.900And it's not acceptable. And that's exactly and that's exactly why it obviously is acceptable since you're not prosecuting it.
00:05:28.460You have condoned it. You've created a new normal where people can engage in low level, permanent anti-Semitic crimes, assault, threats, mischief.
00:05:38.760Because you guys don't prosecute. But there you are on Twitter, though. So congrats for that.
00:05:43.780It's important that the Jewish community sees a person from their own community in the Ontario legislature standing up against hate every single day who has the support of a premier who has called it out.
00:05:56.120Where are the other levels of government today who exercise the same voice that Premier Ford does that we will not accept anti-Semitism?
00:06:06.200You have accepted it. Where's the prosecution?
00:06:10.060Again, this is something you could ask Minister Verrani. You can ask the Prime Minister.
00:06:15.320The province. The province prosecutes. The province prosecutes. Better save your boss.
00:06:20.380I think he's afraid and he's afraid of his boss, the premier, because his boss can count votes.
00:06:27.360And there's about 350,000, 400,000 Jews in Canada and about five times as many Muslims.
00:06:34.740Now, thankfully, not all Muslims are anti-Semitic, but many of them are.
00:06:38.540And many of them come from places where anti-Semitism is taught in schools, where it is official government policy.
00:06:45.200And no one told them before they came to Canada that that's not how we rule.
00:08:15.120Now, the fact that you are in, the fact that you are at this counter-demonstration, does that mean you agree with sexual, no, you're getting my way, sir.
00:08:24.360Do you agree with radicalized sex education for children?
00:10:30.120Same thing happened in Lebanon, both of which have succumbed.
00:10:34.000Israel can largely take care of itself, I'm glad to say.
00:10:38.360It was hamstrung in its reaction to the Gaza-Hamas terrorist attacks by Joe Biden, by Anthony Blinken.
00:10:46.240All of the Western allies of Israel told it not to extirpate Hamas, but to have ceasefires and to go easy.
00:10:54.680But when Israel didn't listen to that in Lebanon, look at how effective it was.
00:11:00.200First, with the incredible move of blowing up Hamas, sorry, Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies.
00:11:05.880The entire Hezbollah organizational trial was gone, especially with the huge bombing of the headquarters.
00:11:13.460Remember that extraordinary explosion?
00:11:24.680Now, when the head of Hezbollah, named Hassan Nasrallah, basically an Iranian puppet in Lebanon, who had killed thousands of Lebanese too, by the way,
00:11:42.460when he was assassinated, the Western leftists were in mourning.
00:11:47.660But in the region, there were celebrations.
00:12:19.760Hundreds of ballistic missiles fell on Israel.
00:12:24.040They're much faster and harder to hit than the small rockets fired from southern Lebanon or Gaza.
00:12:30.300There were about 200 of these ballistic missiles that were fired.
00:12:34.180Incredibly, not one Israeli death, even though several of them did hit and created huge craters.
00:12:41.800Compare Iran's attack on Israel with these inaccurate, hugely explosive ballistic missiles with the ultra-precision attacks Israel used in Hezbollah, the pagers, the precision-guided missiles.
00:12:58.260Iran's approach is deliberately to kill as randomly as possible.
00:13:27.660I don't know if it's just they're a paper tiger or if this was some sort of just-for-show attack so they could look tough and keep some self-respect after having their proxy in Hezbollah smashed.
00:13:41.480Speaking of tough talk, there's been some very tough talk from a variety of Israeli cabinet ministers saying they were going to retaliate against Iran in a brutal way.
00:13:52.220Maybe, or maybe they're just huffing and puffing, too.
00:13:57.600I'm actually suspect that the United States has told them not to fight back at all, told Israel just to accept hundreds of missiles landing in their country without fighting back.
00:14:08.600In some ways, I'm actually more worried, though, about what's happening here at home.
00:14:14.060I see in the news two new command posts in the York region.
00:14:35.080It seems like it would be deterring the least motivated of terrorists.
00:14:41.920But it wouldn't stop someone who actually wants to follow through on the Hamas or the Hezbollah promise of killing the Jews.
00:14:48.400And there are those people amongst us.
00:14:50.560Like I said before, there are terrorism charges across this country on a regular basis now.
00:14:56.060It barely makes the headlines anymore.
00:14:57.580And those millions of immigrants we're bringing in, including the thousands from Gaza, well, you heard Mark Miller, the affirmative action immigration minister, chosen simply because he was in Justin Trudeau's wedding party.
00:16:09.100Did you get your reaction to the fact that India's foreign minister responded to these arrests by saying they just show that Canada has been laxed about
00:16:32.040Is there anything the government's going to do to respond to this?
00:16:34.520I know you say you can't comment because it's RCMP, but like anything, is there anything at all that the government's going to do like this?
00:16:39.760We take any report like this very seriously.
00:16:42.420Are you involved in, is your office involved in the investigation at all, providing information to RCMP?
00:16:56.360Now, I'm not calling for censorship of Canadian citizens, but I don't believe foreign citizens have the right to be racist, hateful, genocidal agitators in our country.
00:17:11.180I think if the roles were reversed, if we were tourists or on a temporary student or working visa in, say, Pakistan or Iran, and we whipped up protests against the regime, we would be deported immediately.
00:17:23.880But I'm not even focused on the free speech aspect.
00:17:27.040I'm focused on the real crimes, the trespass, the mischief, the vandalism, the uttering threats, and even the traffic violations.
00:17:35.620This dominant move, the psychology move of suddenly blocking the main intersection and praying on the street, as opposed to one of the dozens of mosques in the city.
00:17:46.720Compare how those traffic violations are met with the support of the police.
00:17:53.780Compare that to how the trekkers, who simply honked their horns and parked in a no parking zone, how that was the cause of martial law.
00:18:03.340No violence there, no death threats, just some honking.
00:18:07.180And Justin Trudeau put the country under martial law.
00:18:09.620I've noticed something in the past couple of days.
00:18:16.780Not just the Palestinian flag, which someone could say is a kind of a proxy for terrorism, but the outright flags of the Hezbollah terrorist group.
00:18:25.140Those are the yellow flags with the green machine guns on them, a bit of a giveaway.
00:21:08.320Is Canada a position that Israel should not respond to Iran?
00:21:11.900I mean, you called for a ceasefire vis-Ã -vis Hezbollah, but this attack from Iran, is Canada asking Israel not to respond in kind?
00:21:19.780We need to make sure that there's no escalation.
00:21:22.040Of course, Israel needs to be able to protect itself, and that's why we'll continue to support its security.
00:21:29.220And we'll support, of course, through the Iron Dome.
00:21:33.200At the same time, we need to make sure that parties sit down and the war stops.
00:21:38.800Because we can see that what will happen, there will be even more further escalation, more innocent civilians, including women and children, die.
00:21:49.760And that's what I said at the UN yesterday.
00:22:03.460And we need to make sure that the conflict doesn't extend to the region.
00:22:08.240So that is why I've been clear to my counterpart in Israel, please take the win and make sure that we can work together to bring back peace in the region.
00:22:18.980Oh, is it a win to have a foreign country fire hundreds of missiles at you?
00:22:59.860And we are clearly pushing for a de-escalation.
00:23:03.480Yeah, I don't think anyone listens to Canada anymore.
00:23:07.260I mean, it's pretty clear that she's out of the loop.
00:23:10.520When I went to bed on Wednesday night, I was convinced that there was a ceasefire.
00:23:14.940But I say again, I'm more worried about what's happening here in Canada than I am in Israel.
00:23:18.460I think Israel is aware of the existential crisis it faces.
00:23:22.460And I think Israel has the means to protect itself.
00:23:25.320Frankly, I think it's been hamstrung in Gaza.
00:23:27.920But I'm worried about here at home because I don't think we have the awareness and the enlightenment to realize the pickle we're in.
00:23:35.160We're still bringing in a record number of migrants, two million a year, many from endemically anti-Semitic countries, countries where violence is the norm.
00:23:43.400We are becoming a terrorism and violence front line in a way we never have before.
00:23:51.940Of course, I hope Israel defeats its enemies because they're enemies of freedom and enemies of the West.
00:23:57.400And Israel goes today and the West falls tomorrow.
00:24:02.900I'm Jewish, so I have an ethnic affinity.
00:24:05.000But I am deeply concerned about here, Canada, and what we're allowing this country to transform itself into, mainly through mass immigration, but also through a woke approach to everything from self-defense to fighting crime.
00:24:20.600I'm deeply worried about Toronto and Vancouver and Montreal and Calgary and Edmonton more than I am about Israel.
00:24:59.180You're not going to want to miss this one, but you have to be there, in person, at the Rebel News Live mega conference in Calgary on October the 5th.
00:25:09.120Tickets are limited, so drop everything and go to rebelnewslive.com right now.
00:25:14.620Special discounted prices for Patriots and special extra high prices if you're with the CBC.
00:25:30.540Well, last night was a debate between the two vice presidential candidates, and Rebel News live-streamed the debate and had active live color commentary by our rebel stars.
00:25:42.740It reminded me of how things have changed and how others have not.
00:25:48.040What has not changed are the mainstream media reporters who claim to be neutral moderators but only interrupt the Republican candidate, only purport to fact-check the Republican candidate.
00:26:37.160They claim that they are interfering in the U.S. elections and that Trump was colluding with them.
00:26:42.600But there are real questions about China now.
00:26:45.900I think they should have been asked much earlier.
00:26:48.460And one of the things that I thought was weird was that the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz, did you know that he's been to China 30 times?
00:27:48.620Yeah, well, and to the folks out there who didn't get at the top of this, look, I grew up in small rural Nebraska, a town of 400, town that you rode your bike with your buddies till the streetlights come on.
00:28:00.480I joined the National Guard at 17, worked on family farms, and then I used the GI Bill to become a teacher, passionate about it, a young teacher.
00:28:09.560My first year out, I got the opportunity in the summer of 89 to travel to China, 35 years ago, be able to do that.
00:28:16.480I came back home and then started a program to take young people there.
00:29:19.300I would make the case that Donald Trump should have come on one of those trips with us.
00:29:23.060I guarantee you he wouldn't be praising Xi Jinping about COVID.
00:29:27.660And I guarantee you he wouldn't start a trade war that he ends up losing.
00:29:31.340So this is about trying to understand the world.
00:29:34.060It's about trying to do the best you can for your community.
00:29:37.460And then it's putting yourself out there and letting your folks understand what it is.
00:29:40.900My commitment, whether it be through teaching, which I was good at, or whether it was being a good soldier or was being a good member of Congress, those are the things that I think are the values that people care about.
00:29:51.120Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was, can you explain the discrepancy?
00:29:56.900All I said on this was, is I got there that summer and misspoke on this.
00:30:00.740So I will just, that's what I've said.
00:30:04.500So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went in.
00:30:10.600And from that, I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance.
00:30:49.120As you know, in Canada, we've had a massive inquiry into Chinese influence, 11 members of parliament, over 160 memos to our own prime minister about Chinese influence, most of which he ignored.
00:31:03.860Joining us now to talk about this is Xi Van Fleet, who herself grew up under Communist China before coming to America and being an advocate for freedom.
00:31:37.160I think that when dictatorships of exchanges like that, it's either for propaganda reasons or to recruit spies, either witting or unwitting.
00:34:31.640You know, one of the interesting things about Kamala Harris, independent observers noted that she was the most left-wing senator in the entire U.S. Senate, even to the left of Bernie Sanders.
00:35:12.080But I think like Kamala Harris, he sort of is a communist.
00:35:16.300Do you have any more details about either his statements or his policies?
00:35:21.840I mean, I know he's an extremist on transgenderism.
00:35:25.940He is a big believer in the Democrat version of replacement migration where you bring in an enormous number of migrants who then vote Democrat to replace sort of American voters.
00:35:38.700In Minnesota, that's often Somalis and others like that.
00:35:42.880Those are a few of the things I know about him.
00:35:45.020Are there other things about him that you can tell our viewers?
00:35:50.500But also his connection with CCP is really, really alarming.
00:35:56.400And they did not ask his question, why would you pick your wedding day as June 4th, the Tiananmen Square massacre, when tens of thousands of students were murdered by the CCP?
00:36:26.200And who would pick a day like that for their wedding day, except you really want to celebrate it?
00:36:34.040So his connection with CCP is really, really troublesome.
00:36:39.340And I think that the American people deserve to know we not only have two communists running as nominee for the Communist Democratic Party, but we have something who really, really pro-CCP.
00:36:54.380And so, and I think, I think there was an investigation going on about Team Watts and we should expose it as much as we can to the American people.
00:37:09.040I mean, and it was his wife who said that he chose the wedding day to be on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square because it was so memorable.
00:37:17.760That's so shocking and bizarre that, I mean, that would be like saying, I want to get married on 9-11.
00:39:37.620There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.
00:39:43.220I want to talk to you about the use of the word communist, because I remember for a long time, I didn't use the word communist to describe people on the other side of the aisle, because I thought it sounded over the top.
00:39:56.040Maybe it sounded a little bit McCarthyist, that I was exaggerating.
00:40:02.340It felt almost like a cartoonish insult, but now I see it, and I see it partly because I spent time with Dr. James Lindsay, and he explains what the deep communist ideas are.
00:40:16.540And just because we hear them in an American accent instead of a Russian accent or a Chinese accent doesn't mean it's any less communist.
00:40:23.640Like, one of the things that Kamala Harris says over and over again is to act unburdened by the past, as in to start again from squares, to forget the past, to throw out the four olds, the old customs, the old beliefs, all the old...
00:40:42.460You know, Mao wanted to recreate man in a new image.
00:41:06.480When I started to speak up, that was in 2021, after my comment in a school board meeting went viral, and I started to tell people this is communism.
00:45:16.020I mean, he lost that defamation case for over a billion dollars, which doesn't make a lot of sense.
00:45:21.320I mean, like I mentioned, when Libya blew up that plane over Lockerbie and paid a multi-billion dollar settlement, it worked out to $10 million a family for murdering them.
00:45:35.040I don't know how mocking parents or criticizing parents or challenging parents, however unfortunate or bad that may be, I don't know how that's worth $50 million a person.
