Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ The one tweet that snapped a dozen government bureaucrats to attention

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. I made a little bit of news with a tweet. Isn't that a funny story?

00:00:04.180 I want to show you how a federal bureaucracy jumped into action when I poked them online.

00:00:10.240 But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.

00:00:13.140 It's the video version of this podcast. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com. It's eight bucks a month.

00:00:18.140 You get the video stuff and the satisfaction of keeping Rebel News strong because we take

00:00:22.840 no government money and it shows.

00:00:30.000 Tonight, I made a tweet and a dozen government bureaucrats snapped to attention.

00:00:46.580 It's March 5th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:51.680 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:00.000 You know, there's a reason why we have uniforms in the world, especially for police and the

00:01:10.720 military and other imposers of force. It's so that you understand that the force, the authority

00:01:17.920 being mustered, is in the name of the government, the public, not some special interest, not some

00:01:23.880 club, not some religion. It's in the name of the people itself. That's why you don't see big

00:01:28.540 crucifixes or stars of David on a necklace of a cop. That would be against regulation. And it's

00:01:35.220 because if you're being arrested by someone, you're not being arrested by a Christian or

00:01:39.660 a Jew or a Muslim. You're being arrested by a policeman or a policewoman. That's why there 1.00

00:01:45.400 was some objection to Sikh turbans being allowed in the RCMP. Although I happen to know that Sikhs

00:01:52.420 were disproportionately served in the British Empire as police and as soldiers for centuries,

00:01:59.860 actually, in India. And turbans were an official part of historic British uniforms in India.

00:02:08.380 So I think I'm a little bit more open to it than some people are because I know that in India,

00:02:13.900 Sikhs with turbans had, that was their uniform and that's how it was for centuries. 0.68

00:02:20.080 And even Queen Victoria's servant had a Sikh turban. So I, that's part of our history too. It might

00:02:26.560 sound unusual, but it is. But look, even that does not violate the reason for a uniform to have one

00:02:32.980 form so that you never wonder while you're being arrested, if it's for what you did or for who you

00:02:38.920 are. That's why we have uniforms, right? Which brings me to this tweet that I wrote a few months back.

00:02:45.440 Just went through Canadian air traffic safety, airport security at Calgary airport. The foreign 0.95

00:02:54.660 migrant who searched my bag had a Palestine sticker on his security badge. Why are foreigners in charge 1.00

00:03:02.400 of our security? Every other worker and manager obviously has seen his flag. Is there a Palestine 0.99

00:03:08.180 cell at the Calgary airport? I mean, it's not like Palestinian activists are known for blowing up

00:03:13.540 planes or anything. Can we please stop pretending that Katza, our version of the TSA, is anything

00:03:18.920 more than security theater that has now been infiltrated by foreign agitators? So gross, 0.77

00:03:25.080 but so on brand for Canada. We're sleepwalking our way to our own Bondi attack. 0.93

00:03:31.760 Now, I think those are fair questions. Don't you? Like, why are you wearing an agitator's Palestine 0.98

00:03:38.920 pin? And you're not even from here. I mean, in some of the documents that I saw, they claim he is a

00:03:45.100 Canadian national. What are you doing agitating for a foreign organization, a foreign, I would call it a

00:03:51.460 terrorist organization. What are you doing? I think those are fair questions. And it reminds me of

00:03:57.920 of this. I mean, pro-Hamas messaging at an airport on their computer systems. I mean,

00:04:05.920 what could go wrong? Do you remember this?

00:04:07.460 Kelowna now, where the city's airport was targeted by hackers tonight. Videos and pictures inside the

00:04:13.260 terminal show the public address system hijacked in terminal screens with pro-Hamas messaging.

00:04:19.300 Kelowna International Airport tells CTV News that a third party gained access to the system shortly

00:04:24.800 after 5 p.m. Reports from Kelowna indicate the incident occurred for about two and a half minutes.

00:04:31.660 The airport says they have regained control of the system and are investigating the cause.

00:04:37.020 Two flights were delayed for 10 minutes during this incident.

00:04:40.960 Now, someone asked me why I didn't stop to make a fuss, why I didn't take a picture.

00:04:45.220 And it's because that these TSA guards can have tremendous power over you. They can be abusive

00:04:50.140 and power hungry. And they can make you late for your flight. They can make you miss your flight.

00:04:55.540 And I didn't want to miss my flight. So I didn't even take a picture of the guy. I just tweeted it.

00:05:01.060 And holy moly did that tweet get a reaction because it was true. Now, here's a news story about it

00:05:08.320 today by one of my favorite news outlets called Black Locks Reporter.

00:05:12.520 I'll read it to you. A social media post by the publisher of Rebel News, that's me,

00:05:18.960 prompted federal managers to launch an immediate search for a security guard wearing a Palestine

00:05:23.620 pin. Access to information records show. The search followed a Twitter comment last December 18th by

00:05:29.480 Ezra Levant at the Calgary International Airport. Can you find out if this is true? A federal manager

00:05:35.860 emailed staff only moments after the post. Wow, that's the fastest I've ever been served by the TSA.

00:05:41.760 This requires your immediate attention, wrote another. It was posted this morning on Twitter.

00:05:48.760 The post was retweeted a thousand times with 150 comments. Revolting and terrifying,

00:05:53.500 wrote one Twitter follower. Insanity, said another post. This is the diversity they were looking for.

00:06:00.000 It's a little crazy. Records show that security authority quickly tracked down the employee,

00:06:07.040 met with him, and removed the sticker. A photograph of the offending badge distributed by managers

00:06:14.760 depicted a heart-shaped Palestinian flag with the slogan,

00:06:17.600 It ain't much, but it's honest work. I think there was actually two slogans that were

00:06:21.420 combined there. Access to information records documented the authorities' panicky search for

00:06:27.180 the flag badge. The incident was disturbing, wrote a Boyd, director of communications, wrote staff in an

00:06:32.760 email with the subject heading, Heads Up. At 8.01 a.m. that day, Boyd wrote, Check on whether we have a

00:06:39.780 policy now about what security officers can wear on their uniform or badges. I thought something was

00:06:45.640 drafted recently, and if it was, we would have to investigate if the security officer in question,

00:06:49.700 looks like this is from the last hour or so, is in contravention of that policy by wearing a flag.

00:06:56.540 At 9.33 a.m., management emailed staff. This needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Security

00:07:01.620 officers need to remain professional as they represent the authority and cannot wear pins that

00:07:05.940 promote political advocacy issues or causes. It happened this morning. I believe the security

00:07:10.920 officer may still be on shift. At 11.08 a.m., management announced they have identified the

00:07:17.060 security officer. The badge was removed. A reminder will be sent to all security officers,

00:07:21.780 said a staff notice. The Transport Security Authority contracts fee private firms, yada, yada,

00:07:28.160 yada, and the guard with the Palestine sticker was not named. So to sum up, they weren't worried about

00:07:35.340 having a foreign migrant who was pro-Palestine in an airport. They weren't worried about that.

00:07:40.500 They were worried about people seeing that. So when they found the security officer, they just said,

00:07:47.640 hey, take that off. Don't advertise your extremism. Your extremism is okay. The fact that you're a

00:07:53.680 foreign national cheering on for Palestine in our airports while you're security, that's fine. Just don't 1.00

00:07:59.700 have a sticker announcing it. They didn't fire him or discipline him. They just said, stop tipping people

00:08:04.680 off. Some people don't like it. I love that they call my tweets terrifying as opposed to hiring a 0.98

00:08:10.540 pro-Palestinian foreign migrant at our airport security. That's not terrifying. But it obviously 1.00

00:08:16.420 wasn't just the one guy. Like I said in my tweet, he was in a team of a half a dozen people right there

00:08:23.200 on that same conveyor belt. And that was part of a larger team. And he most likely would have had a

00:08:29.340 staff meeting at the beginning of his shift. I've seen those before. So everyone there would have seen

00:08:34.320 his sticker. Everyone. And I doubt that was the first day he was wearing it. It's just when I happened

00:08:39.900 to see it. Literally no one out of probably 100 security staff at Calgary Airport had a problem with

00:08:45.780 that. They all accepted it. They all saw that everyone else accepted it too. They all saw that it's normal

00:08:52.320 at the Calgary International Airport for a foreign migrant to wear his Palestine flag and who many, who the

00:09:00.120 others are in league with them. You know, they used to be saying, I'm old enough to remember after

00:09:04.040 9-11. If you see something, say something. You know, I think the British transit system still

00:09:09.560 use that. There are versions of that. But no one really does that anymore. Because first of all,

00:09:14.700 you'd be called racist as Katza more or less does to me here. But more importantly, we see things

00:09:21.740 non-stop all day long that are shocking. Are you going to call in everything? You look like a crazy

00:09:28.680 person. It's being normalized. I remember it wasn't too long ago that if you saw a woman on the street 1.00

00:09:33.780 covered head to toe, including everything other than a little slit for her eyes, their face blocked,

00:09:39.300 looking like a ninja. You would think that is a shocking display of misogyny, the sort that we don't

00:09:44.600 accept in Canada that's from a barbaric land far away. And whatever husband would put his wife in a 1.00

00:09:50.240 body bag like that, that was a disgrace. Well, yeah, welcome to Canada in 2026, where terror mosques 1.00

00:09:56.880 literally have memorials for the killed Ayatollah of Iran. Did you see David Menzies' video on that last night?

00:10:02.520 It was a packed mosque having a memorial for the terrorists. If you see something and say something

00:10:10.060 in 2026, you're most likely to be charged with Islamophobia. So yeah, the entire staff at Katza

00:10:16.900 was mobilized not to stop the migrant with his Palestine agenda, but to stop the embarrassment of

00:10:23.820 having somebody notice how extremist their staff is. That was their mission, not safety or security or

00:10:30.800 the comfort of passengers, but covering up who they've been hiring. We're so cooked, aren't we?

00:10:37.260 Stay with us for more.

00:10:47.040 Hey, you know who's been doing some amazing work on these questions of Muslim extremism is our friend

00:10:53.360 Alexa Lavois because she's based in Montreal, which in many ways is the worst city in Canada. I mean,

00:10:58.800 Toronto's awful, Ottawa's bad, but Montreal, you have this terrible thing of combining pro-Hamas, 1.00

00:11:05.040 pro-Iran activists with Antifa. Here is a report from our dear friend, Alexa Lavois.

00:11:12.640 Alexa Lavois for Rebel News. And I'm here in Ville Saint-Laurent, Montreal, where overnight,

00:11:18.080 around 2 a.m., three Jewish businesses, a pharmacy, a kosher pizza restaurant and a butcher shop were

00:11:27.360 targeted. Swastikas were painted on their windows. This comes after a series of attacks targeting Jewish

00:11:36.800 institutions and businesses following U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran. Pro-Iranians' freedom 0.99

00:11:45.680 business are also facing threats. In Toronto, the gem of an Iranian protest organizer was shot 17 times

00:11:56.880 in Montreal since the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, 2023. There has been a significant rise

00:12:05.280 in anti-Semitic incidents. Jewish schools have been shot at, Molotov cocktails have been thrown at

00:12:12.960 synagogue and community centers. And multiple death threats have been reported. I was able to obtain the

00:12:22.640 pharmacy surveillance footage which shows the suspect caught in the act. I also spoke with the pharmacist,

00:12:31.360 who is also the owner of the business.

00:12:34.080 On s'est réveillés ce matin et puis on a reçu ce vidéo qui filmait l'avant de la pharmacie avec des

00:12:42.480 croix gammées sur chacune des vitrines. Donc c'est un crime haineux et on est en train de faire tout ce

00:12:52.880 qu'il faut pour trouver le responsable et puis l'amener devant la justice. Je pense que les caméras sont assez nettes.

00:13:02.400 C'est possible qu'on ait la chance de pouvoir identifier cet individu et j'espère que ce sera fait d'ailleurs.

00:13:10.080 Nous avons déjà appelé la police, ils nous ont donné un numéro d'événement et puis ils vont

00:13:19.440 poursuivre une enquête. Ça fait 40 ans qu'on est dans ce streetement et puis c'est la première fois qu'on a

00:13:26.880 un crime haineux comme ça contre notre foi.

00:13:32.560 Pourquoi pensez-vous qu'on vous a visé, vous, les trois business?

00:13:36.560 C'est simple parce qu'à l'entrée de notre pharmacie, il y a ce qu'on appelle une mezouza qui nous identifie

00:13:45.440 comme personne de confession juive et puis donc c'est très facile à identifier.

00:13:52.240 Vous avez des préoccupations, surtout avec la dernière frappe en Iran. Est-ce que vous avez

00:13:57.920 des préoccupations que ça pourrait escalader et avoir d'autres crimes comme ça?

00:14:01.920 Oui, je pense que ça pourrait escalader, ça pourrait devenir plus grave et malheureusement, des choses

00:14:12.880 qu'on n'aurait jamais pensé seraient arrivées au Québec, elles arrivent parce que des fois, les gouvernements

00:14:20.480 sont un peu trop doux concernant ce genre de crimes ou concernant certaines politiques et puis voilà, on en paie le prix.

00:14:33.280 La deuxième guerre mondiale, le monde a tourné la tête. Ils sont restés silencieux et il est arrivé ce qu'il est arrivé.

00:14:41.680 Alors aujourd'hui, il faut dénoncer, il faut poursuivre, il faut éradiquer ce genre d'événements.

00:14:50.280 Bien sûr, je suis préoccupée. Il m'est arrivé souvent de conduire derrière des voitures, qu'il y avait un drapeau palestinien

00:14:57.080 ou qu'il y avait une mitraillette avec écrit en arabe à l'arrière près de la plaque du Québec qui dit je me souviens.

00:15:03.080 C'est quelque chose qui est profondément perturbateur. On est au Québec. Pourquoi est-ce que le conflit est transporté ici?

00:15:15.080 Il est transporté ici parce qu'il y a des radicaux ici aussi au Québec, c'est tout. Sinon, ça ne serait pas, ça n'arriverait pas.

00:15:21.880 Si la situation s'empire et puis les actes deviennent plus violents et plus graves, éventuellement, il y aura une exode.

00:15:31.840 One of the business owners agreed to speak with me on the condition of anonymity.

00:15:39.120 Moi, j'arrivais de chez moi et puis, comme d'habitude, j'ouvre la porte et ça ne pouvait pas passer inaperçu.

00:15:50.860 Ça se voyait, c'était bien flagrant, c'était de la peinture, c'était des gros signes.

00:15:57.340 Donc, j'ai juste, je les ai nettoyés, d'ailleurs. Ce n'est pas la première fois que ça arrive déjà.

00:16:04.140 Donc, c'est la troisième ou quatrième fois. Donc, on a un peu l'habitude.

00:16:08.140 C'est pour ça que, c'est franchement, je suis arrivé et j'ai vu ça, ça ne m'a rien fait parce qu'on a l'habitude.

00:16:14.640 Donc, j'ai juste commencé à nettoyer et je me suis dit de toute façon, ça, ça va toujours durer ça.

00:16:21.080 On nous a cassé l'audit la dernière fois. Moi, je pense que c'est juste de l'intimidation, je pense que c'est juste pour embêter, nous embêter et ça ne nous fait rien du tout.

00:16:29.880 Donc, voilà, je sais que ça va encore se répéter, ça ne va jamais s'arrêter. Je ne pense pas que ce sont des gens intelligents.

00:16:36.880 Et voilà, ça va toujours être comme ça, je pense.

00:16:40.880 Je pense, d'après ce que j'ai entendu tout à l'heure, que la police a arrêté ce matin une ou deux personnes.

00:16:47.880 C'est vrai que n'importe quoi peut arriver, mais voilà, on verra bien, on espère que nous.

00:16:54.680 Et a woman who was visiting her uncle, who works at the pizza restaurant, also agreed to speak with me on camera.

00:17:03.680 Well, I just find it very disturbing that, you know, you're going into work, everything's fine,

00:17:10.680 and for some unknown reason, somebody decides to put a swastika on your window.

00:17:17.480 I mean, what have you accomplished from that?

00:17:19.480 Is it for what reason? For intimidation? Are you trying to scare? Business goes on.

00:17:23.480 They wiped it, they took it off, and at the end of the day, it just leaves like a lingering bad taste,

00:17:29.480 knowing that anybody could do that in the middle of the night.

00:17:33.480 It's just a sense of intimidation, and I mean, they're trying to make us afraid that there's going to be escalation.

00:17:42.280 While all of them are targeted under one common denomination, they're all Jewish-owned businesses.

00:17:48.280 That is the main reason. I mean, he's the one who got the swastikas, 0.99

00:17:53.280 the other business they had their windows smashed not too long ago, them as well.

00:17:59.080 It's all because they're Jewish-owned, no other reason why. 0.99

00:18:02.080 Well, we know clearly it's anti-Semitism. Why? I don't know, because as I said, my uncle's business,

00:18:08.080 he's just, you know, here doing what he loves. It's his business, it's his livelihood.

00:18:15.080 His neighbors, exactly the same thing. They're not bothering anybody, so why are they being bothered?

00:18:20.080 The only reason is because they're Jewish-owned businesses, and it's anti-Semitism.

00:18:25.880 But where does the anti-Semitism come from? Ignorance, and perhaps to a certain level, jealousy.

00:18:32.880 Jealousy that these people could stand on their own and, you know, make their own living.

00:18:38.880 More and more that I see people in my community seeing something like this, yeah, we get angry,

00:18:42.280 and we, you know, passed all the information around when there's been one of these businesses

00:18:46.680 that's been vandalized, you know, targeted.

00:18:50.480 There's going to be a statement, obviously, made by the organizations such as B'nai B'rith, Sija.

00:18:57.480 But the day-to-day people from our community, we get angry, but we're also very resilient.

00:19:03.480 We just say, this is not going to install fear in us.

00:19:07.480 We're just going to get stronger, and we're just going to get tighter and more united.

00:19:11.280 As a matter of fact, since October 7th, 2023, we haven't been lurking and hiding.

00:19:17.280 We've actually become actually much more united and stronger as a community.

00:19:22.280 And not just in Montreal. I'm talking about the Jewish diaspora all over the world.

00:19:27.280 With the escalation that we are seeing, we are seeing like now with the Iranian war,

00:19:34.080 I don't know if you can actually say that is a war, but like with what happened in Iran,

00:19:40.080 do you feel that Montreal is safe now for the Jewish people?

00:19:46.080 It's a good question.

00:19:49.080 I believe that despite all these threats and vandalism and, you know, anti-Semitic tropes,

00:19:59.880 for example, my niece who's in McGill, McGill Medicine,

00:20:05.880 she saw a note on the McGill Med that said, Jews go home, free Palestine.

00:20:12.880 Well, good news is she still applied to McGill in family medicine and she still got in.

00:20:20.680 So again, it's not going to scare us. It's not going to fear us.

00:20:23.680 And coming back to the Iranian community, as a matter of fact,

00:20:27.680 whoever's feeling this type of level of anti-Semitism,

00:20:30.680 they've actually shot themselves in the foot because the Iranian community 1.00

00:20:34.680 has gotten a lot stronger with the Jewish community

00:20:39.680 because they are both in favour of the IRGC crumbling.

00:20:46.480 And that's exactly what happened.

00:20:48.480 And if you see the protests that were going on,

00:20:51.480 you would see the Iranian flag, the older Iranian flag with the lion,

00:20:57.480 the Israeli flag and the Canadian flag.

00:20:59.480 So I strongly believe that the group of people that are anti-Semitic

00:21:08.280 and the pro-Pali crowd, as we call them, are becoming now the minority.

00:21:13.280 And we are much more the majority.

00:21:16.280 And, you know, I keep on receiving messages from Iranian friends

00:21:20.280 that keep on saying thank you so much.

00:21:22.280 Thank you for supporting us because when this was going on since January

00:21:27.080 and thousands of people being murdered, especially women,

00:21:30.080 the pro-Pali crowd was not saying,

00:21:33.080 Oh, this is terrible.

00:21:34.080 Women and children are being murdered.

00:21:36.080 Babies are being murdered.

00:21:37.080 No. Silence. Zip.

00:21:39.080 But the Jewish community were reaching out to the Iranian community.

00:21:42.080 And I know because I have friends.

00:21:43.080 And they were saying thank you for supporting us.

00:21:44.880 And now you could see that they're actually together.

00:21:48.880 And no, I'm not afraid that something's going to happen in Montreal.

00:21:52.880 I think that the tables are turning.

00:21:55.880 Do you have maybe a message for the people in charge at the government,

00:22:00.880 especially regarding reports that reveal that there is some individual

00:22:05.880 linked to Hamas and also members of ERGC who live here in Canada?

00:22:12.880 You know what, I think that's probably kept very under the radar.

00:22:19.680 I don't think it's common knowledge,

00:22:21.680 but definitely organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood

00:22:24.680 should be determined as a terrorist organization,

00:22:30.680 just like the IRGC is supposed to be determined as a terrorist organization.

00:22:36.680 I think that there is definitely a lot more that needs to be done.

00:22:39.680 And if they're aware of it, the government, there could be a very good reason

00:22:44.480 why they are trying to suppress that information.

00:22:48.480 And my last question is about,

00:22:52.480 we are seeing politicians saying and denouncing what is happening,

00:22:57.480 but we don't see concrete action to protect the Jewish community in Canada.

00:23:01.480 What would you want to see them doing regarding that?

00:23:06.280 Well, starting with our Prime Minister,

00:23:08.280 it would be nice because he seems to double speak.

00:23:11.280 First, he made a statement that he supported President Trump

00:23:17.280 and the strike against Iran.

00:23:20.280 And then he clapped back just a couple of days ago

00:23:25.080 and said that he condemns Israel and USA's actions,

00:23:30.080 that they did it not in a legal fashion

00:23:33.080 or whatever kind of jargon that he spoke.

00:23:36.080 So, you know, it would be better to have a Prime Minister

00:23:39.880 who just is clear and sticks to one story.

00:23:43.880 And I understand that he needs

00:23:46.880 these people that put him into power,

00:23:50.880 the majority that put him into power.

00:23:52.880 He has to answer them,

00:23:54.880 but he also has to answer to the Jewish community.

00:23:56.880 We happen to be taxpayers

00:23:58.880 and people that were born and were naturalized.

00:24:01.680 We were born here and we contribute a lot to the society.

00:24:06.680 Apart from being taxpayers,

00:24:07.680 we also do a lot of philanthropic work.

00:24:11.680 We give back.

00:24:12.680 So there's, you know,

00:24:15.680 we need a little more support coming from the government,

00:24:17.680 that's for sure,

00:24:18.680 to say that we are going to be protected.

00:24:21.680 Hey, welcome back.

00:24:23.680 Your letters to me.

00:24:25.680 Simon Simon says,

00:24:26.680 the United Nations are not allies anymore.

00:24:29.680 They were infiltrated by the World Economic Forum and Islamists.

00:24:32.680 If Israel and the US were to inform Canada or anyone else

00:24:35.680 from the United Nations about this plan to assassinate Iran's leadership,

00:24:38.680 the operation would 100% be a failure.

00:24:41.680 Yeah, you know what?

00:24:42.680 It's sort of funny when Mark Carney says,

00:24:44.680 Hey, no one told us.

00:24:46.680 I think that's very true.

00:24:47.680 Because why would, you know,

00:24:49.680 it's like General Schwarzkopf said going to war without the French

00:24:52.680 is like going fishing without your accordion.

00:24:55.680 But why would you tell Canada?

00:24:58.680 They haven't exactly been supportive of the United States.

00:25:01.680 But when Mark Carney says he wasn't told,

00:25:04.680 that's his way of saying to his extremist Muslim voter base,

00:25:08.680 Hey guys, don't worry.

00:25:09.680 I'm not against the Islamic Republic.

00:25:11.680 It's very strange.

00:25:13.680 Marie Stapleton says,

00:25:15.680 Let's be clear.

00:25:16.680 Carney is trying to figure out what the Chinese Communist Party,

00:25:18.680 she wants him to say.

00:25:20.680 You know, I've been reading some analyses online

00:25:23.680 about how obviously Iran is going to have regime change

00:25:26.680 and it could change so dramatically.

00:25:28.680 It's going to be amazing.

00:25:29.680 It really is a counter-revolution 47 years late.

00:25:32.680 But how this affects China is staggering.

00:25:35.680 China has been growing throughout the world in a number of ways

00:25:39.680 through their Belt and Road economic initiative,

00:25:41.680 through investments in places like Africa especially.

00:25:44.680 They don't have foreign army bases in the same way

00:25:48.680 that the United States does all around the world,

00:25:50.680 but their influence, their tentacles are certainly growing.

00:25:52.680 I mean, we feel that here in Canada, don't we?

00:25:55.680 Including the 11 ridings that were interfered with by China.

00:25:58.680 But Iran had a very special place for China.

00:26:01.680 Not only was it a source of oil and deeply discounted oil

00:26:04.680 because when America and the West put sanctions on Iranian oil,

00:26:07.680 that means it can't sell at marketplace.

00:26:10.680 It's like contraband.

00:26:12.680 So China had cheap oil.

00:26:14.680 China sold military equipment to Iran.

00:26:17.680 And more than that, by being strong allies with Iran,

00:26:21.680 China was able to frustrate American strategy for that region,

00:26:26.680 push Israel on the back foot, et cetera. 0.73

00:26:30.680 In a way, same thing with Venezuela.

00:26:32.680 Not only was it an ally of China, but it was a source of oil.

00:26:35.680 So if you cut off Venezuelan oil and if you cut off Iranian oil, 0.56

00:26:40.680 I mean, China will get its oil,

00:26:42.680 but by paying billions of dollars more for it.

00:26:45.680 And it's no longer has a toehold in the Americas

00:26:49.680 because Venezuela is back in American hands.

00:26:52.680 And soon it'll be shoved out of the Middle East. 1.00

00:26:54.680 What's so interesting is that Iran in its final flurry 0.99

00:26:58.680 attacked, what, 10 neighboring countries,

00:27:01.680 all of which were Arab or Muslim.

00:27:03.680 Just going out with a bang and weirdly pushing all these other countries 0.99

00:27:10.680 into the American and even Israeli orbit.

00:27:12.680 I think so much is going to be possible when Iran is liberated.

00:27:15.680 And I think it's going to be good for the entire world economically.

00:27:19.680 Good for Israel, of course. 0.88

00:27:20.680 Good for America, of course.

00:27:21.680 Good for the Iranian people.

00:27:23.680 And bad for Russia and China.

00:27:25.680 And, you know, really, I think you've got two choices for the hyper power in the world.

00:27:31.680 You want China or you want America. 0.88

00:27:33.680 And I think this shows America is strong and America is in control.

00:27:37.680 America is not in decline.

00:27:38.680 I find it very hopeful.

00:27:40.680 Last letter of the day from John Alexander, who says,

00:27:43.680 Here in London, Ontario, the mayor and council voted to give themselves a 36% raise.

00:27:48.680 And the homeless and drugs are out of control.

00:27:50.680 I don't know how much a 36% raise is,

00:27:55.680 but I can only imagine that it's an extremely large amount.

00:27:59.680 I mean, are they being paid $1,000 a year?

00:28:01.680 36% raise probably wouldn't be outrageous.

00:28:04.680 But they're probably making six figures.

00:28:06.680 I'm sorry, I haven't researched it.

00:28:08.680 The idea of anyone giving themselves a raise,

00:28:10.680 anyone being their own boss like that.

00:28:13.680 If you want to be your own boss, start your own business.

00:28:15.680 All the money is yours and you can pay yourself whatever you can.

00:28:18.680 But to go into politics and be your own boss in terms of setting your own salary,

00:28:23.680 that's super gross.

00:28:25.680 Huh.

00:28:26.680 That's our show for the day.

00:28:27.680 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,

00:28:30.680 see you at home.

00:28:31.680 Good night and keep fighting for freedom.

00:28:33.680 Thank you for yourBo.

00:28:46.680 Okay.
