00:00:00.000 Hello my friends, big news around midnight last night, Rebel News got a copy of the Murderer's
00:00:06.300 Manifesto and we published it. I want to explain to you why we made that decision and I want to
00:00:12.620 read to you some excerpts from it that will help explain. I can tell you other media don't like
00:00:18.700 the fact that we put the whole thing out there. They wanted to select tidbits from here and there
00:00:23.760 to carefully craft the story. It's one of the reasons we published it. But first let me invite
00:00:29.420 you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. It's the video version of this podcast. Just go
00:00:33.840 to rebelnewsplus.com. Not only do you get the video, but you support Rebel News and keep us
00:00:39.100 strong. We get no government money, and it shows. Tonight, a communist anti-Semite who thinks
00:00:48.820 dating is hard murders a cop, and the media party tries to cover up his motivations.
00:00:55.800 It's June 23rd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:59.420 for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:01:13.500 An absolutely terrible series of killings in Montreal. A policeman murdered in the line of 0.95
00:01:21.760 duty. A Jewish man caught in the crossfire, killed apparently by a policeman and of course
00:01:28.040 a terrorist who started the whole thing it was in montreal in a jewish neighborhood and my first
00:01:33.640 reflex was perhaps this was a montreal version of the crime wave we've seen in toronto involving
00:01:40.200 shootings of jewish targets a cop was killed and it was on live tv it was absolutely stunning and
00:01:50.200 riveting and so many people followed absolutely horrific all around and we pray for the family
00:01:56.200 of the deceased policeman and the civilian who was killed as well there's visual uh there's
00:02:03.680 recordings of door-to-door searches conducted in the neighborhood so they obviously thought
00:02:09.840 there may be others afoot and again one could think was this arranged by some foreign force
00:02:17.260 as has been done in toronto was it iranian terrorists it appeared that it was a lone gunman
00:02:24.740 and soon word spread of a manifesto that he left behind we heard the manifesto but
00:02:32.520 the same media that reported the manifesto would not release it but obviously they read it or at
00:02:41.080 least parts of it because they referred to certain passages now his name was kept secret as well and
00:02:48.420 during that period of time his social media obviously was scrubbed so it could not be seen
00:02:54.280 by the public. That sort of thing irks me in a way because I feel that I have a right to know
00:03:00.020 what's going on, not just as a journalist, but as a citizen. Why can't I see what a murderer in this
00:03:06.420 case had to write? The media tidbits that were carefully selected from the manifesto, which
00:03:14.140 turned out to be 104 pages long, focused on him being an incel, which is short, it's internet
00:03:21.100 lingo for an involuntary celibate person. It's a fancy way of saying someone who has trouble
00:03:28.260 going on dates with women. And I read that same line from so many different regime media,
00:03:36.780 and I had two feelings. The first was, why are other journalists, handpicked journalists,
00:03:43.180 being given the manifesto by authorities, probably by police, why are they being chosen to focus,
00:03:50.800 like a funnel on what is distributed to the public and what isn't. Why are they making these
00:03:57.320 editorial decisions instead of me or instead of every single Canadian? And immediately I also
00:04:04.420 thought, what are they not telling us? They want us to think that this terrorist is an incel,
00:04:10.700 but they're not showing us the proof. What are they holding back? And so it was with great
00:04:18.020 interest that late last night i received a copy of it all 104 pages and i made the decision
00:04:26.260 to release it online which we did close to midnight not because we want to promote
00:04:34.780 the murderer's message but because the regime was lying about it i just knew it in my bones
00:04:41.880 and i wanted every canadian including myself to have a chance to figure out who this man and what
00:04:47.000 he was really doing. And in my case, I was motivated in part because so many times over
00:04:52.940 the last several years, if there's an anti-Semitic crime, authorities want to cover it up. They want
00:04:57.640 to denude it of the anti-Semitism because they want to pretend that everything is fine in our 0.99
00:05:02.680 mass immigration of third world anti-Semites. And so I just in my bones knew something was funny. 0.99
00:05:09.880 So at about midnight, we got the document and we published it. Sheila Gunn-Reed wrote a story
00:05:14.840 and i wrote an email as well in my opinion the document the manifesto was objectively news
00:05:23.420 are you not interested do you not think it's newsworthy that this terrorist murderer wrote
00:05:29.040 104 pages i had it why shouldn't others have it am i better than anyone else most journalists
00:05:38.620 would say yes i am most journalists who had it say no i'm better than others i can handle the truth
00:05:43.920 but the little people can't. I didn't feel that way. I thought, I can read it now because I had
00:05:49.340 it. Why should I be a gatekeeper? And of course, I wanted to rebut the lies that this was only about
00:05:56.780 misogyny. Our friends at Juneau News were up late last night and they saw us posting. And here's a
00:06:03.760 story they wrote. They said, and I'm just excerpting from their story. They said, the document has
00:06:09.820 at least 860 mentions of marxist terminology and framing such as bourgeois proletarian class marx
00:06:20.320 communism and socialism and at least 24 mentions of israel zionism or the jews do you see what i'm
00:06:28.340 getting at the media was saying no no no no no this was a right-wing manosphere uh misogynist
00:06:37.040 right winger that's what they maybe he was even a trucker he was from alberta after all
00:06:43.640 do you see what i mean we were told he was an incel but our friends at juno news actually did
00:06:48.940 the math they went through and did a word count he was a communist why did all these leaks say he
00:06:55.380 was a incel implying he was right wing it's a right wing ideology online they say why wouldn't
00:07:01.000 they talk about his endless repetition of marxist ideas here's jesse brown he was concerned about
00:07:06.560 the anti-Semitism as well. He wrote this in a series of three tweets. He said,
00:07:11.780 the reporting about Montreal's incel shooter misled the public into thinking this killer was
00:07:17.920 a Manassian style woman hater that was a murderer in Toronto, looking to kill as many women as
00:07:24.800 possible. Not true. His ideology is anti-capitalist and anti-Zionist. He writes hatefully about women 0.97
00:07:32.340 and trans people but his kill them all list of targets is not about gender he wanted to liquidate 0.96
00:07:38.960 the following people and let me read the list because this shows you the difference between
00:07:44.100 the truth that rebel news revealed by publishing the document last night versus what the cbc and
00:07:49.920 others were curating carefully so this is the list from the official manifesto of who he wanted to
00:07:57.320 kill he wanted to kill ceos pornographers influential zionists bankers pickup artists
00:08:04.380 politicians plastic surgeons other elites that he considered part of the judeo-bourgeois class 0.94
00:08:11.940 he was a communist extremist against degeneracy similar in worldview to pflp that's popular front
00:08:19.680 for the liberation of palestine farc that's a south american terrorist group maoist etc
00:08:24.520 by the way even his name was new a news seth hatfield a philosophy grad from the university
00:08:34.420 of lethbridge hey by the way and he was apparently a very good student there did did some professor
00:08:39.700 fill his mind with these woke ideas about communism and zionism being oppressors and
00:08:47.340 like who put these ideas in his head i'm not looking to blame someone else for the murder
00:08:52.380 Only the murderer committed murder.
00:08:54.440 But who radicalized him?
00:08:58.240 I want to read to you a few excerpts from it.
00:09:00.280 It's 104 pages, and it's not deep thinking.
00:09:03.760 It pretends to be.
00:09:05.000 It pretends to be a worldview.
00:09:07.220 It's a man with a certain view, that's for sure.
00:09:10.560 Let me read it to you.
00:09:11.720 I'll read you probably a page worth.
00:09:15.040 You may study the writings and teachings of people such as Robespierre,
00:09:18.760 Saint-Just, Babouf, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Jairzinski, Stalin, and Mao. Those are the world's
00:09:26.060 greatest killers. I'm not telling you to agree entirely with any of them, but rather to learn
00:09:31.080 from them, to see how they were similar to us and absorb their teachings which are relevant to our
00:09:35.580 cause. So Mao, Stalin, he has teachings relevant to our cause? Let me read some more. The essential
00:09:43.880 political conditions of a society in which capitalism liberalism and thereby hypergamy 1.00
00:09:49.020 hypergamy are when women try and be with the most prestigious or wealthy or handsome man around that's
00:09:55.600 what that word means and thereby hypergamy itself are not part of the established order of things
00:10:00.400 have mostly already been laid out by marx angles and others in work such as the communist manifesto
00:10:07.120 in my view the most important of these basic conditions are the full abolition of private
00:10:12.240 property without compensation and the subsequent nationalization of this property do you see what
00:10:18.320 i mean he's motivated by communism they said he was some right-wing incel i'll read some more
00:10:23.600 centralization of credit in the hands of the state with the establishment of a central bank
00:10:28.580 and a planned economy this guy's a communist the establishment of state control over the means of
00:10:34.220 transport and communication by enacting the first of those we deprive the bourgeois class
00:10:39.120 of its ability to enslave us and hoard our women what without their private property they simply 0.77
00:10:45.460 can do none of the things that they presently do that result in our biological deprivation
00:10:50.400 so he's saying we can't let anyone get rich because they'll get the best girls we have to
00:10:55.120 keep everyone leveled down i'll read some more with all credit under state control the filth of
00:11:02.620 greed and speculation will be abolished and all of the chaos and agitation of the old neoliberal
00:11:07.880 economy will vanish. As for transport, the ownership of cars will be abolished, and transport
00:11:13.660 will instead be achieved by advanced trains and only by people with state approval. What a
00:11:20.120 totalitarian, authoritarian environmentalist, you could say, banning cars, not just for the
00:11:26.780 environment, but to stop the individual freedom that comes from cars. This is Greta Thunberg stuff.
00:11:31.860 This is communist stuff. This is the stuff of so many urban mayors who want to ban cars. I'll read 0.99
00:11:36.660 some more here he is exposing himself as an authoritarian censor regarding the means of
00:11:42.780 communication which in our times includes the internet itself it is essential that this is
00:11:47.300 brought entirely under state control for it will allow for us to make sweeping changes to the
00:11:52.360 society that we would be impossible otherwise so this guy could actually fit in in the cabinet of
00:12:00.060 mark carney or whoever the new british prime minister is he wants to censor the internet i'll
00:12:05.940 read more. It will be necessary for the state to heavily alter the internet continually over time
00:12:11.620 until eventually it becomes something that is unrecognizable to its counterpart of our own
00:12:16.920 times. It will be devoid of degeneracy, and the only access that the public will have
00:12:23.660 will be in public locations where random other members of the public can easily see what anyone
00:12:30.240 is looking at. Can you imagine? A total surveillance state, like PRISM. No privacy.
00:12:38.040 The state will be able to easily locate and prosecute unauthorized internet users,
00:12:42.240 and with private property abolished, people won't be able to simply buy services that allow for
00:12:47.800 covert internet usage. Do you see what I mean? This guy is a total communist. He's a communist,
00:12:54.100 and I won't go deep into the parts where he hates Jews. Take my word for it. And yet the CBC and the 0.95
00:13:00.000 other media wanted to, oh, this is some right-wing incel. I'll read more. But all of this thus far
00:13:06.500 mostly pertains to the Western high capitalist world. In regard to the communist world, it is
00:13:11.160 the case that little or none of the rampant degeneration of the West occurred there. And
00:13:15.640 monogamy, along with traditional cultural customs, were maintained rather consistently. So yeah,
00:13:20.780 he does, he is upset by the fact that rich guys get pretty girls. But that's not the essence of
00:13:27.520 his message is it the shock the bourgeois class gained a shocking victory with the collapse of
00:13:33.840 the soviet union along with all of the other european communist nations that once existed
00:13:38.520 at the time that i am writing this there are about five communist countries left on earth
00:13:42.120 much to the chagrin of the western bourgeois class who wish to see all those nations defeated
00:13:46.800 and their populations brought into the domain of western capital regarding the collapse of the
00:13:51.580 soviet union it is the case that nowhere are the evils of capitalism more apparent than in the
00:13:56.160 horrific transformation that russian and eastern european societies underwent in the 1990s
00:14:00.800 shifting from culturally healthy and largely monogamous nations under communist leadership
00:14:07.400 into chaotic miserable crime-ridden hypergamous hellscapes under capitalism a system which allows
00:14:14.860 the most cruel and brutal of drug dealers gangsters pimps and oligarchs to achieve firm and steady
00:14:19.600 power and to reign tyrannically over helpless populations so he thinks that the current system
00:14:25.640 in the former Soviet bloc is terrible. And I wouldn't want to live in Russia either,
00:14:29.840 but he longs for the total brutal authoritarianism. In fact, the totalitarianism. He mentioned
00:14:36.960 Mao and Stalin, the two largest killers in world history, both of whom who killed millions more
00:14:44.960 people than Hitler himself. Do you see my point? This man cooked up these ideas, apparently at the 0.80
00:14:53.300 university of lethbridge he went to montreal and murdered and caused in a way the accidental
00:15:01.340 shooting of another man absolutely horrific and then the media when they found out his motivations
00:15:07.240 lied about it that my friends is why rebel news published the truth not because we agree with
00:15:15.340 this communist we despise him not that we agree with his censorship or his environmental extremism
00:15:21.880 and we hate all those things, but because the regime was trying to lie to you, as they often do.
00:15:29.940 Stay with us. More ahead.
00:15:36.060 Well, Canada is living through its worst crime wave in recent history. It's especially bad in
00:15:42.040 the big cities. Automobile theft is off the charts. Home invasions, and of course, the police response
00:15:47.540 is even worse. As you know, in Toronto, the Toronto Police Service, their advice to homeowners
00:15:54.580 is very practical and very helpful to the home invaders. It's to leave your key fobs
00:16:00.700 near the front doors so that when your house is broken into, the thieves don't have to go
00:16:06.040 looking for the keys. Here's a reminder of that. This is a real video. It's not AI. Take a look.
00:16:12.720 To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door.
00:16:18.500 Because they're breaking into your home to steal your car.
00:16:21.180 They don't want anything else.
00:16:22.420 A lot of them that they're arresting have guns on them.
00:16:25.140 And they're not toy guns, they're real guns.
00:16:27.060 They're loaded.
00:16:28.260 Well, that's the new normal.
00:16:29.840 Canada is in decline. 1.00
00:16:31.560 A lot of the criminals have come here from low-trust societies who can't believe their good luck with our open immigration system. 1.00
00:16:38.280 But whatever the cause is, let's look at the effect. 0.63
00:16:41.720 And I was on Twitter yesterday, or X is now called, and I came across a post by my friend, Dr. John Lott, who's the head of crimeresearch.org.
00:16:51.220 And he's also a published author of books like More Guns, Less Crime.
00:16:55.800 Let me read to you his tweets and then we'll pull in Dr. Lott for a conversation.
00:17:00.820 He says, Canada's crime problem, worse than people realize, Canada's overall violent crime victimization rate was 295% higher than the U.S. rate.
00:17:15.960 Even if sexual assaults are excluded to reduce differences in definitions, Canada's violent crime rate remained 175% higher.
00:17:27.420 I have to say that that's quite shocking.
00:17:29.860 There's one more tweet in the thread by Dr. Lott.
00:17:33.520 Robbery provides an especially useful comparison because the surveys measure it in a similar way.
00:17:39.380 The Canadian robbery rate was 268% higher than the American rate.
00:17:44.580 Canadians are roughly 366 times more likely to be robbed than to become homicide victims,
00:17:53.280 underscoring how misleading it is to focus public discussion almost exclusively on murder rates.
00:17:57.880 property crime shows a similar pattern
00:18:00.900 Canada's burglary rate was
00:18:02.920 259% higher than the US rate
00:18:05.000 and did you catch
00:18:06.800 Dr. Lott's point is that if we only
00:18:08.980 focus on murder sure Canada
00:18:10.980 is safer but that's a very rare
00:18:12.920 crime compared to burglary
00:18:15.120 home invasions etc joining us now
00:18:16.840 via Skype is our friend
00:18:18.920 Dr. Lott great to see you
00:18:20.360 I think those numbers would surprise
00:18:23.260 most Canadians because it
00:18:25.120 is contrary to our identity 0.98
00:18:27.200 as more peaceful and placid people than those rambunctious Americans. 0.96
00:18:32.980 Where are those numbers from, Dr. Locke?
00:18:36.680 Well, they're from the Canadian Statistics Canada.
00:18:42.080 People have to understand there are two different measures that we have of crime.
00:18:46.280 There's crimes to report to police, and that's what most people focus on.
00:18:51.040 That's what the media covers all the time.
00:18:53.380 But the Canadian government and the U.S. government knows that the vast majority of crimes aren't reported to police.
00:19:00.980 So, you know, in the United States in a recent year, about 48 percent of violent crime was reported to police.
00:19:09.060 In Canada, the most recent numbers that you have for that indicate that it was about 21 percent.
00:19:14.340 Well, even if the true underlying rate of crime was exactly the same in the two countries, if you're looking at reported crime and only half as many violent crimes are being reported to police or less in Canada than the United States, then the reported crime is going to make it look like the United States has a much higher rate, even though that's not the case.
00:19:38.860 And when you break it down and compare apples to apples and look at total crimes, the numbers that Statistics Canada puts out indicates that the Canadian violent crime rate is probably around 300 percent higher, about 300 percent higher than it is in the United States.
00:19:58.840 That's incredible.
00:19:59.840 I saw just in passing that there were eight murders, eight homicides in Chicago alone over the weekend.
00:20:06.160 And that's the kind of story that Canadians see.
00:20:10.060 And then we think to ourselves, we're much less violent.
00:20:12.580 I think a lot of the murders in the U.S. are gang-on-gang violence.
00:20:18.100 That doesn't make it any less violent or doesn't make it any better.
00:20:22.320 But it suggests it's not a random occurrence, whereas a burglary or a home invasion is, I would imagine, more crime of profit rather than some sort of grudge or vendetta.
00:20:36.320 What people don't realize is how incredibly concentrated in tiny areas are murders in the United States.
00:20:43.580 The United States is very unique in terms of that.
00:20:47.820 56% of the murders in the United States occur in 2% of the counties.
00:20:53.260 About 73% of the murders occur in 5% of the counties.
00:20:59.100 And if you look at those 2% of the counties that have 56% of the murders, about two-thirds of their murders occur within 10 block areas within those counties.
00:21:10.640 And it's overwhelmingly gang-related type crimes that are there.
00:21:16.520 To look at it differently, you have about 52% of the counties in the United States have zero murders in any given year.
00:21:25.600 Another 17% have one murder.
00:21:30.040 So about 70% of the counties in the United States have either zero or one murder.
00:21:37.280 Together, they account for about 3% of the murders that take place in the United States.
00:21:42.880 So, you know, if you look at the most recent murder data for last year, it looks like the murder rate in the United States is slightly below 4 per 100,000.
00:21:55.540 The most recent data that you have for Canada is about 1.9.
00:21:59.880 So the murder rate in the United States is indeed about twice as high as the murder rate in Canada.
00:22:07.500 But not only is it different in terms of being incredibly concentrated in tiny areas, but you have other things that are very unique about what's going on in the United States in terms of it being overwhelmingly gang related, for example.
00:22:24.140 Now, gang related also is a proxy for different demographic groups, ethnic groups. In Canada, we have high crime pockets that are sort of out of sight, out of mind. They're not typically in our urban core. I'm talking about Indian reserves. And there's an enormous amount of violence on Indian reserves.
00:22:40.980 There was even something called the murdered and missing indigenous women issue, where a lot of indigenous women were murdered or missing.
00:22:52.400 And the RCMP spent an enormous amount of resources answering the question, where are they gone?
00:22:57.780 What happened to them?
00:22:59.140 And I know this is shocking to say, the majority of them were murdered by people they knew, family members, spouses, boyfriends, etc.
00:23:09.120 And I think that Canadians sometimes look down our noses at the U.S. with some sort of condescension about how they have demographic challenges with minorities.
00:23:19.880 I think we have them here in Canada. They're just on Indian reserves, so we don't often see a lot of them.
00:23:25.580 But let's talk about burglaries and home invasions, because at least in the city I am, that's a major issue. 0.99
00:23:31.860 um what do you think is i don't know if you would be able to answer what's driving that but uh
00:23:41.780 why is it so much more than the u.s is that because i i can't imagine that's related to
00:23:48.280 gangs in the same way maybe i'm wrong give any info on that well we have some information on that
00:23:55.400 canada doesn't have quite as much data on these types of things as we have in the united states
00:24:00.320 but you do have some data. And the basic notion with crime generally is if you want to reduce
00:24:06.920 crime, you have to make it riskier for criminals to commit crime. That means higher arrest rates,
00:24:11.620 higher conviction rates, longer prison sentences. But it also means being able to let victims be
00:24:17.000 able to go and defend themselves. So, you know, if you look at burglars, not only is the burglary
00:24:22.760 rate in Canada about 259% higher than the burglary rate in the United States, but data I've seen
00:24:29.380 from the past indicates that your hot burglary rate, these are burglaries that occur while the
00:24:34.280 residents are at home, is much higher. It's something around 40 percent compared to about
00:24:40.100 13 percent in the United States. And, you know, you look at when burglaries occur in the United
00:24:46.240 States, burglaries overwhelmingly occur about two o'clock in the afternoon because burglars want to
00:24:53.260 go and break in when they know people aren't home. In Canada, you have a lot more burglaries that
00:24:58.900 occur in the evening because then they can go and force people to go and tell them where their
00:25:04.820 valuables are that's there. And so you can make it risky by the fact that criminals are worried
00:25:13.260 about getting shot. In the United States, I don't have this data for Canada, but if you compare it
00:25:20.080 to the UK, for example, which has a similar pattern, the UK burglars spend about half as long
00:25:27.600 casing at home compared to burglars in the United States. And they almost always break in in the
00:25:33.220 evening when people are home. And so not only do American burglars break in when people are less
00:25:41.740 likely to be home, but even on top of that, they still spend about twice as long making sure people
00:25:47.600 aren't home because that's the way to make sure that they're not at risk of getting shot.
00:25:51.540 That's incredible. Canada keeps bringing in new media-centric gun laws. I mean, they make no sense. They announced banning 2,000 different models of firearms, and they can't even explain what these are. They ban what they call assault rifles. They don't really know what that means. They can't define it.
00:26:13.400 But they do this perpetually, like it's a constant, constant drumbeat of some announcement.
00:26:19.100 And I think the more crime goes up, the more actual home invasions and burglaries and violent crimes go up, the more they have these placebos with greater ferocity and frequency, as if to distract.
00:26:34.760 I think they're probably doing it because it works. 0.86
00:26:39.300 How is it possible to take a society with gun control like Canada?
00:26:44.400 And I don't know, what would it take to convince a country like Canada to allow homeowners to arm themselves?
00:26:52.420 I don't know. I mean, it is ironic.
00:26:54.900 You have a situation where you pass a law.
00:26:57.640 The law creates the problem.
00:26:59.560 And then rather than going and undoing the law, they kind of double down in terms of the restrictions that are there.
00:27:05.520 you know it's very difficult to use a gun defensively in Canada well and so criminals
00:27:12.480 are not afraid they're not afraid of breaking into people's homes you have your have your guns
00:27:17.540 locked up in Canada to the you know the guns that you're able to go and own makes them so they're
00:27:24.340 not readily accessible even if you did want to try to use them for self-defense and criminals
00:27:30.080 respond to that. I mean, it's not rocket science. I mean, I hope people understand that why higher
00:27:37.020 arrest rates and higher conviction rates reduce crime. And I don't think the burglars in Canada
00:27:43.700 are particularly afraid of being caught and punished, at least not at a very high rate.
00:27:49.000 It'd be nice to have a little bit more data on things like the prosecution rates for those types
00:27:54.720 of crimes but unfortunately uh that data is not available in canada well we've seen recently
00:28:01.860 a couple of cases of people who rely on the castle law doctrine where man's home is his castle there
00:28:09.760 was one case in lindsay ontario where a man was awoken at 3 a.m there were people coming into his
00:28:14.660 house including with a crossbow and he defended himself he was charged with grievous bodily harm
00:28:22.380 or something like that.
00:28:24.240 And it was only much, much later after public outcry,
00:28:27.340 and we got involved, we had a petition
00:28:29.100 and we crowdfunded his legal fees.
00:28:31.800 I think ordinary Canadians are getting a little fed up with it.
00:28:36.300 They're not at the point where they're demanding
00:28:37.660 the right to bear arms, but they're at least telling police
00:28:41.060 to stop prosecuting homeowners who try and defend their homes.
00:28:46.480 So I think the public opinion is shifting,
00:28:49.520 But it'll be quite a while before we allow people, I'm afraid to say this,
00:28:53.780 it'll be quite a while before we allow people to actually defend themselves.
00:28:57.320 And in the meantime, the home invaders keep laughing.
00:28:59.960 Last word to you, Dr. Lott.
00:29:02.280 What made you publish this?
00:29:04.840 Why are you interested in Canada?
00:29:06.340 Or was it just a curious statistical thing you came across?
00:29:10.840 Well, I recently just did a similar report on Australia.
00:29:14.400 And, you know, I knew Canada had this data on total crime, not just reported crime.
00:29:22.560 So I decided to look into it more.
00:29:24.220 I mean, I knew I mean, this isn't a new phenomenon.
00:29:27.240 There used to be something called the International Crime Victimization Survey.
00:29:31.480 And, you know, back in 2000, when they did this, Canada had a higher violent crime rate relative to the United States.
00:29:39.600 And that was the exact same survey done across different countries.
00:29:44.680 Unfortunately, the violent crime rate in Canada relative to the United States has gotten even worse since 2000.
00:29:53.720 Wow. Well, it's a pleasure to have you on the show. Thank you for the information.
00:29:58.220 Folks who want to learn more can go to crimeresearch.org or pick up any of your books on Amazon, including More Guns, Less Crime.
00:30:06.320 Great to see you again, Doctor. Thanks for joining us.
00:30:08.720 Great. Thanks.
00:30:10.100 There he is, Dr. John Lotz. Stay with us. Your letters to me next.
00:30:13.680 hey welcome back your letters to me about keir starmer the outgoing prime minister of the uk
00:30:27.740 ava t42 says burnham andy burnham from manchester is popular in manchester because he
00:30:33.920 kowtows to the muslims to get their vote well it's a huge demographic and thus democratic
00:30:39.440 factor in the uk but what's interesting and we saw this in the last general election is there's
00:30:44.560 certain communities where the muslim vote is so high around 40 that they don't need to run under
00:30:49.900 the labor party they run as independent candidates give gaza your vote is their motto and about five
00:30:56.940 or six mps one running on an islamic platform in the uk it's sort of astonishing paul q says why
00:31:04.840 do we care? His replacement will be worse. That's likely true. It's like I say, it's like replacing
00:31:09.440 Justin Trudeau with Mark Carney. Pablo Picasso says, I hope that Starmer is held accountable
00:31:16.760 for all the crimes he committed and spends 10 times as long in solitary confinement as Tommy
00:31:21.360 Robinson did. Well, that's unlikely, although I don't think he has a lot of people who love him.
00:31:27.240 You know, I don't think anyone's going to say, hmm, what would Keir Starmer do? Or what would
00:31:32.160 Keir Starmer say about this, just like I haven't heard anyone say that about Justin Trudeau. The
00:31:37.600 only news that Justin Trudeau makes these days now that he's gone is because he's hanging out
00:31:41.960 with Katy Perry, the aging rock star. But it'll be interesting to see what happens in part because
00:31:49.040 Keir Starmer has operated at a higher level, a national level for years, for decades. He was,
00:31:54.080 for example, the chief prosecutor in the UK. Andy Burnham is a mayor. He's a big city mayor,
00:31:59.260 but he has no experience in foreign policy and military policy and national questions in farming
00:32:06.960 things like that each of which are windmills or fracking he just hasn't said or done any of that
00:32:14.460 and i suppose it's possible to learn on the go but running the united kingdom and he's prime
00:32:18.920 minister right away like there won't be a general election just like mark carney he'll be installed
00:32:23.160 in the prime minister's office 10 downing street right away he'll be expected to be pm on day one
00:32:29.120 So I actually doubt he'll be making all the decisions.
00:32:32.020 It'll be interesting to see if he has the same handlers of Starmer.
00:32:36.040 Well, that's our show for the day.
00:32:38.040 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:32:41.320 to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
00:32:58.840 Amen.
