Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Tommy Robinson's fight for free speech lands him in solitary confinement — inside a prison for terrorists

00:00:00.000 Tonight, Tommy Robinson's Last Days of Freedom.

00:00:03.560 It's October 28th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:07.160 You're fighting for freedom!

00:00:09.980 Shame on you, you censorious whoobug! 1.00

00:00:21.520 Hi there, I am in downtown London.

00:00:24.080 I've been in this city for about three days

00:00:26.180 for some very interesting events touching on freedom of speech

00:00:30.140 and two-tiered justice.

00:00:32.140 As I always say when I come to the United Kingdom,

00:00:34.620 it's like getting into a dystopian time machine.

00:00:37.780 What happens in the UK today often happens in Canada tomorrow,

00:00:41.900 not even five years into the future.

00:00:44.040 Let me tell you what I'm about to show you.

00:00:45.960 I'm coming to you on Monday night,

00:00:47.640 but I first arrived here on Saturday morning.

00:00:50.920 Tommy Robinson was having a huge rally in the centre of the city

00:00:54.900 against two-tiered justice. 0.76

00:00:57.180 Except for Tommy himself was not there.

00:00:58.900 He had been arrested by police.

00:01:01.440 Let me show you the course of my day in central London

00:01:04.220 at Tommy Robinson's protest without Tommy Robinson.

00:01:07.840 Oh, Tommy!

00:01:11.300 Oh, Tommy Robinson!

00:01:16.860 What's in the backpack?

00:01:19.420 It's a computer.

00:01:20.100 It's a computer that allows us to live stream.

00:01:25.240 So the big pieces.

00:01:26.980 So are you doing some facial recognition?

00:01:29.040 No, we don't have any of that.

00:01:30.280 Really?

00:01:30.660 Well, then what are you live streaming?

00:01:32.340 Just what's going on?

00:01:33.540 We have to have one standard of justice,

00:01:53.560 not two standards of justice.

00:01:55.640 And what I've seen in the United Kingdom

00:01:57.560 is not the UK I learned about in law school in Canada.

00:02:01.720 Canada, when we studied the law,

00:02:04.000 when we looked to the roots of it,

00:02:06.180 the rule of law,

00:02:07.080 we looked to the British cases,

00:02:09.260 and it meant that no one was above the law.

00:02:16.120 Ezra Levant here.

00:02:17.140 I just touched down at Heathrow Airport in London.

00:02:19.860 I'm going to make my way downtown to Parliament Square,

00:02:23.100 where later today,

00:02:24.460 Tommy Robinson's team

00:02:26.120 will have a mass, peaceful political rally

00:02:29.980 in support of one-tier justice,

00:02:33.240 as opposed to the two-tier justice

00:02:35.400 that now rules in the United Kingdom.

00:02:38.240 Now, the major detail of this story

00:02:40.480 is that Tommy Robinson himself will not be there.

00:02:43.280 He was arrested yesterday by police

00:02:45.980 on a trumped-up charge.

00:02:47.400 In fact, I would call it an abuse of process.

00:02:50.160 Under the Terrorism Act here in the UK,

00:02:52.620 there's sort of a ticking time bomb provision

00:02:55.300 where if you catch a terrorist mastermind

00:02:58.480 and there's only a matter of minutes

00:02:59.920 before some bomb is going to explode,

00:03:02.980 you can interrogate that terrorist

00:03:05.020 without him having the right to remain silent.

00:03:08.180 You can search his stuff,

00:03:09.560 including his cell phone,

00:03:11.000 without a warrant.

00:03:12.360 Now, that only applies to terrorists, of course,

00:03:14.360 but they used that law against Tommy Robinson.

00:03:16.960 They said, show us all your phone details.

00:03:19.480 He said no, so they arrested him

00:03:22.180 because he wouldn't give them the password to his phone,

00:03:26.520 his phone where he has journalistic stories, legal matters.

00:03:30.560 The fact that this is just uneventful

00:03:34.680 in the United Kingdom,

00:03:36.160 that the entire media isn't shocked by this.

00:03:39.520 I mean, Tommy Robinson is a citizen journalist.

00:03:42.280 Imagine if a journalist at the BBC

00:03:43.860 or at the Daily Mail

00:03:45.520 had their cell phone seized by police

00:03:48.000 and was told, give us your password

00:03:49.660 or we'll arrest you.

00:03:51.020 The country would be up in arms.

00:03:52.440 But like I say, two-tier justice.

00:03:54.840 Tommy is arrested.

00:03:56.640 Actual terrorists rule the streets in the UK.

00:03:59.400 I've been to marches in this city,

00:04:01.380 close to 100,000 pro-Hamas activists.

00:04:04.000 I think the fact that he has a hearing on Monday

00:04:07.340 where he could be sent to prison

00:04:09.680 for up to two years

00:04:10.780 or even possibly more

00:04:12.360 because he published a film about censorship,

00:04:15.440 that's what it is.

00:04:16.220 He's not being charged with a crime.

00:04:17.500 He's being charged with contempt of court

00:04:19.420 because a judge said,

00:04:20.420 don't you publish that film?

00:04:22.060 And Tommy did anyways.

00:04:23.420 So he'll likely be going to jail.

00:04:26.140 The silence of the establishment is damning.

00:04:29.740 I mean, you can judge what Tommy's doing

00:04:31.360 as wise or unwise,

00:04:32.880 but what it's actually doing

00:04:35.360 is unmasking the true nature

00:04:37.520 of justice in the United Kingdom.

00:04:39.660 To arrest a peaceful political activist

00:04:42.220 on the eve of his rally,

00:04:44.560 silence from the establishment,

00:04:46.040 to have a hearing about sending him to prison

00:04:48.900 for up to two years

00:04:50.420 or frankly more

00:04:51.600 because he made a film about censorship.

00:04:54.260 Welcome to the UK.

00:04:55.880 I would blame Labour's government

00:04:58.100 and Keir Starmer,

00:04:59.240 the new authoritarian prime minister,

00:05:00.780 but let's be candid.

00:05:01.880 This was going on under the Tories before them.

00:05:04.560 I'll be here all day.

00:05:06.040 And in fact,

00:05:06.460 I'm going to stay on a few days.

00:05:07.960 I'm going to be here on Monday

00:05:09.320 for Tommy's court hearing.

00:05:10.960 I'll be live tweeting from the courtroom

00:05:13.440 because I don't trust the regime media

00:05:15.900 in the UK.

00:05:16.740 Do you?

00:05:17.660 Tommy asked me to give a quick speech

00:05:18.980 at the rally today.

00:05:19.660 I'll do that as well.

00:05:20.660 If you want to support my journalism,

00:05:22.720 go to TommyTrial.com.

00:05:25.220 I just flew in on an economy class air ticket.

00:05:27.980 I'm staying at an economy hotel,

00:05:29.600 but odds are the cost will come up

00:05:31.600 to about $1,500.

00:05:32.860 If you can help out,

00:05:33.980 go to TommyTrial.com.

00:05:35.140 Thanks.

00:05:48.680 I'm making my way towards Parliament Square

00:05:51.600 in London,

00:05:52.800 where Tommy Robinson's rally

00:05:54.680 is taking place without Tommy Robinson.

00:05:57.200 He himself has been arrested.

00:05:59.300 Police decided to take him off the streets

00:06:01.360 to interfere with his peaceful protest tonight.

00:06:04.560 The reason I'm stopping here

00:06:05.980 is to show you

00:06:06.840 the riot police on riot horses.

00:06:10.480 There's no need for those police.

00:06:12.220 As you can see,

00:06:13.480 I'm several blocks away

00:06:15.620 from Parliament Hill.

00:06:17.220 It's actually none of Tommy's people are here.

00:06:19.980 It looks like just a regular crowd,

00:06:22.020 but there's police cars

00:06:23.500 and police riot horses.

00:06:25.120 Behind me,

00:06:25.480 I don't know if you can see it,

00:06:26.440 is the Millennium Eye,

00:06:28.040 as it's called.

00:06:28.820 Huge Ferris wheel,

00:06:30.100 real major tourist attraction.

00:06:31.520 Let me just spin around.

00:06:32.420 And behind me now

00:06:34.260 is the New Scotland Yard.

00:06:37.340 These are the folks,

00:06:38.400 sort of the FBI

00:06:39.120 of the UK.

00:06:42.500 Press reports going back years

00:06:44.140 say there are 43,000

00:06:46.540 suspected jihadists

00:06:49.740 walking the streets

00:06:51.420 of the UK.

00:06:53.260 43,000.

00:06:55.000 It's impossible to track

00:06:56.320 43,000 people around the clock.

00:06:58.620 I suppose it would be easier

00:06:59.820 to boot them out of the country, 0.82

00:07:01.620 but that's not how

00:07:03.060 the UK rolls these days.

00:07:04.760 I wonder what,

00:07:05.900 I mean,

00:07:06.600 you can see these cops

00:07:07.600 are just sort of guarding

00:07:08.740 Scotland Yard.

00:07:09.720 I don't think they're actual

00:07:10.660 Scotland Yard detectives,

00:07:12.960 but I wonder what they think

00:07:14.440 about all this,

00:07:15.740 about jailing

00:07:16.780 Indigenous working-class Brits

00:07:19.540 while emptying the prisons

00:07:21.980 of actual violent criminals

00:07:23.520 to make room

00:07:24.180 in the prisons

00:07:24.800 and of course

00:07:26.060 not laying a hand

00:07:27.480 on the pro-Hamas 1.00

00:07:28.940 Islamist extremists

00:07:31.000 that have flooded

00:07:32.100 this country

00:07:32.740 over the last decade.

00:07:33.780 I just discovered

00:07:42.540 the most astonishing thing.

00:07:44.360 As you can see,

00:07:45.180 I'm making my way

00:07:46.360 to Parliament Square.

00:07:49.540 Hidden is

00:07:51.560 Big Ben right there.

00:07:55.340 And so I saw a big screen

00:07:57.380 and I heard some sounds

00:07:58.340 and I thought,

00:07:58.880 oh, that's Tommy Robinson's group.

00:08:00.420 No, it's the counter-protest

00:08:02.720 by the Socialist Workers' Party

00:08:05.520 and their sign,

00:08:06.840 as you can see,

00:08:08.100 says,

00:08:08.980 smash fascism

00:08:11.320 and racism

00:08:12.020 by any means necessary.

00:08:14.740 Well, that includes,

00:08:16.400 that obviously includes violence.

00:08:18.400 I mean,

00:08:18.600 their symbol is a fist.

00:08:20.420 So you can call

00:08:21.720 for the smashing

00:08:22.800 of people

00:08:24.320 if you're talking

00:08:25.660 about Tommy Robinson

00:08:26.760 and his friends

00:08:28.280 and their families.

00:08:29.720 You can call

00:08:30.260 for the smashing

00:08:31.140 of people in the streets.

00:08:32.140 We know that

00:08:32.860 because 100,000

00:08:34.300 pro-Hamas extremists

00:08:35.520 marched this same street.

00:08:37.260 No one's allowed 0.98

00:08:37.840 through this way.

00:08:38.680 We're going to have to go across 0.67

00:08:40.020 along South Bank

00:08:41.320 and back across the area.

00:08:42.640 Let me be fair.

00:08:43.480 I just spoke

00:08:44.040 to those cops there.

00:08:45.620 They have absolutely

00:08:46.620 sealed off the road.

00:08:48.540 There will be

00:08:49.100 no Socialist Workers' Party

00:08:50.520 types

00:08:50.980 who make contact

00:08:52.540 with Tommy's teams.

00:08:54.120 I want to show you

00:08:59.520 one sign.

00:09:00.720 It's right behind me here.

00:09:02.520 RIP Peter Lynch.

00:09:04.900 And Peter Lynch

00:09:05.640 was a senior citizen

00:09:08.340 who was thrown in prison

00:09:10.380 for, I think,

00:09:10.920 it was two years

00:09:11.760 for, I don't know,

00:09:13.400 gesturing

00:09:13.900 or some social media posts.

00:09:15.540 Nothing violent.

00:09:16.900 Let me just show that there.

00:09:19.480 See,

00:09:19.780 the other side of the sign.

00:09:20.660 He was thrown in prison

00:09:22.060 and really to his death,

00:09:25.300 because you put

00:09:25.780 a 60-something-year-old

00:09:27.240 pro-Tommy Robinson guy

00:09:29.640 in prison

00:09:30.440 that's dominated

00:09:31.740 by Islamic gangs,

00:09:34.220 he's going to die

00:09:34.920 one way or another.

00:09:36.640 And a lot of people here

00:09:37.740 and a lot of people

00:09:38.420 in this movement

00:09:39.340 believe that

00:09:40.760 to be sentenced

00:09:42.200 to prison

00:09:43.360 for an anti-immigration

00:09:46.180 or pro-Britain

00:09:47.760 point of view

00:09:48.780 is tantamount

00:09:49.520 to a death sentence.

00:09:50.920 That's what that was about.

00:09:53.520 I made my way

00:09:54.520 closer to the front,

00:09:55.820 just absolutely surrounded

00:09:57.380 by patriotic flags.

00:09:59.620 I see Scottish flags,

00:10:01.240 British flags,

00:10:02.740 the English

00:10:03.120 cross of St. George,

00:10:05.040 flags saying

00:10:05.780 Jesus is King.

00:10:07.820 I think that's

00:10:08.280 the Welsh flag there.

00:10:09.520 I see another star.

00:10:13.480 I can tell you

00:10:14.700 from frequenting

00:10:16.300 London City Centre,

00:10:18.400 where you don't

00:10:19.020 usually see

00:10:20.240 patriotic flags.

00:10:23.040 What's happening

00:10:23.760 up front now

00:10:24.580 is the streaming

00:10:27.820 of Tommy's

00:10:28.860 new movie

00:10:29.980 called Lawfare.

00:10:32.660 I'm going to join the crowd

00:10:34.000 and watching it.

00:10:35.140 They are punishing

00:10:36.340 the people

00:10:37.060 who speak out

00:10:38.340 in the things

00:10:39.320 of the children

00:10:40.280 of the poor.

00:10:41.560 There is fucking nothing

00:10:43.020 that compares to rape. 1.00

00:10:44.380 The only thing

00:10:44.880 that compares to rape 0.91

00:10:46.140 is torture.

00:10:47.640 You're not going to have

00:10:48.140 the BBC News doing this.

00:10:49.480 You're not going to have

00:10:49.880 ITV, GB, anyone.

00:10:51.740 This is real

00:10:52.560 citizen journalism.

00:10:56.960 We're bringing you content

00:10:57.980 no one else will.

00:10:59.280 Ladies and gents,

00:11:00.840 Ezra Levan.

00:11:01.500 It's great to see

00:11:07.680 everybody.

00:11:09.920 If I had to sum up

00:11:15.220 British law

00:11:16.120 in two words,

00:11:17.420 it would be the

00:11:18.020 Latin phrase

00:11:18.700 stare decisis,

00:11:20.220 which means

00:11:20.900 let the precedent

00:11:21.880 stand.

00:11:23.320 Another way of saying

00:11:24.140 that is

00:11:24.700 what's good for the goose

00:11:26.260 is good for the gander.

00:11:27.260 Another way of saying

00:11:27.860 that is

00:11:28.300 you have to have

00:11:29.100 one standard

00:11:30.560 of justice,

00:11:31.320 not two standards

00:11:32.200 of justice.

00:11:33.300 And what I've seen

00:11:34.280 in the United Kingdom

00:11:35.300 is not the UK

00:11:37.160 I learned about

00:11:38.040 in law school

00:11:38.760 in Canada.

00:11:40.020 When we studied

00:11:41.120 the law,

00:11:41.740 when we looked

00:11:42.440 to the roots of it,

00:11:43.920 the rule of law,

00:11:44.820 we looked to the

00:11:45.380 British cases

00:11:46.320 and it meant

00:11:48.320 that no one

00:11:48.940 was above the law.

00:11:51.000 No one was too

00:11:51.660 powerful or too

00:11:52.640 fancy

00:11:53.260 to be held

00:11:54.560 to account,

00:11:55.120 but it also meant

00:11:55.920 no one was beneath

00:11:57.100 the law.

00:11:58.640 And I believe

00:11:59.760 that that second part

00:12:01.180 is a problem

00:12:01.800 in the United Kingdom

00:12:02.680 today.

00:12:04.020 Look at the treatment

00:12:05.180 of thousands

00:12:06.500 of young girls

00:12:07.520 in this country,

00:12:09.040 like in Rotherham.

00:12:10.040 They were beneath

00:12:10.760 the law.

00:12:11.340 The law didn't give

00:12:12.120 a damn about them

00:12:13.160 because they were

00:12:14.440 indigenous,

00:12:15.600 white British women 0.84

00:12:16.680 and that's just

00:12:17.480 too politically incorrect.

00:12:19.020 Look at how this event

00:12:20.220 is being policed

00:12:21.160 today.

00:12:22.600 Riot police

00:12:23.580 with their riot gear.

00:12:25.400 I saw one cop

00:12:26.480 filming everyone's face.

00:12:28.280 He told me

00:12:28.780 it wasn't

00:12:29.280 for facial recognition.

00:12:31.200 I was in London

00:12:32.240 for the 100,000 person

00:12:34.600 pro-Hamas march

00:12:36.440 where they chanted

00:12:37.720 for Intifada.

00:12:39.480 That's a violent

00:12:40.340 riot against the Jews

00:12:42.000 where they called

00:12:42.920 for genocide.

00:12:44.160 No riot police

00:12:45.180 nearby there.

00:12:46.240 No one filming

00:12:47.220 the faces there.

00:12:49.020 I'm worried

00:12:50.040 that the United Kingdom's

00:12:51.820 core character

00:12:53.740 of the rule of law

00:12:55.540 is falling apart

00:12:56.820 and the fact

00:12:58.180 that they are trying

00:12:58.900 to intimidate you

00:13:00.100 and not have you gather

00:13:01.840 is part of that.

00:13:03.440 Tommy Robinson

00:13:04.240 was arrested last night

00:13:05.840 under the Terrorism Act,

00:13:08.040 a version of the

00:13:08.760 American Patriot Act

00:13:10.640 because he wouldn't

00:13:11.880 give them

00:13:12.300 the cell phone password

00:13:14.040 to get into his phone.

00:13:16.060 That's a law

00:13:16.760 for terrorists,

00:13:17.780 not for journalists.

00:13:19.460 Do you think

00:13:19.760 they applied that law

00:13:21.600 to the organizers

00:13:22.940 of the pro-Hamas rallies

00:13:25.140 in this city

00:13:26.160 week after week?

00:13:27.440 They did not.

00:13:28.760 The police were not

00:13:29.760 even visible

00:13:30.440 in those rallies.

00:13:31.560 They were hidden away

00:13:32.540 lest they give offense.

00:13:34.300 I think it's incredibly

00:13:35.340 important

00:13:35.880 that you stand up here

00:13:37.140 not just for Tommy Robinson

00:13:38.980 and not just for yourselves

00:13:40.800 but for the great legacy

00:13:43.540 that you have inherited

00:13:44.740 from generations

00:13:45.740 that came before you.

00:13:47.740 So many lives

00:13:49.440 were lost

00:13:50.020 over so many centuries

00:13:51.380 to give Britain

00:13:52.840 a legal system

00:13:53.820 that everyone

00:13:54.840 could trust and love.

00:13:56.940 And let me close

00:13:57.660 with one last point

00:13:58.540 before I give the microphone back.

00:14:00.980 There are some people

00:14:02.320 who would drive

00:14:03.060 Tommy Robinson

00:14:03.940 out of the establishment,

00:14:05.440 out of the mainstream,

00:14:06.600 who would ban him

00:14:07.720 from having rallies.

00:14:09.480 But Tommy Robinson

00:14:10.580 in my view

00:14:11.280 is necessary

00:14:12.240 to keep hundreds

00:14:13.680 of thousands,

00:14:14.720 maybe millions

00:14:15.460 of people

00:14:16.240 involved

00:14:17.580 in the system.

00:14:18.760 if he is kept out,

00:14:21.460 people will give up

00:14:22.380 on the system.

00:14:23.220 They'll give up

00:14:23.880 on the freedom.

00:14:26.680 Keep standing for freedom.

00:14:28.360 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:14:29.560 Thank you, everybody.

00:14:30.300 I know I mentioned it,

00:14:33.920 but I just got to mention it

00:14:34.920 one more time.

00:14:36.260 Today,

00:14:36.740 Tommy debuted

00:14:37.460 his new documentary

00:14:38.540 and you can see

00:14:40.460 sort of a movie-style poster

00:14:42.160 behind me.

00:14:43.220 Tommy Robinson presents

00:14:44.420 Lawfare,

00:14:46.080 a totalitarian state

00:14:47.800 in association

00:14:49.080 with UrbanScoop.News.

00:14:51.040 That's his new organization.

00:14:52.060 So he rolled out

00:14:55.120 his new documentary

00:14:56.020 on that huge screen

00:14:58.140 behind me there.

00:15:00.460 And let me just say

00:15:01.100 the name again

00:15:01.720 with a subtitle,

00:15:02.820 A Totalitarian State.

00:15:04.380 And literally

00:15:05.260 20 feet away

00:15:06.740 is that

00:15:08.700 totalitarian state.

00:15:11.120 Why are they

00:15:12.300 in a line

00:15:13.820 with their riot gear?

00:15:14.960 Why are they

00:15:15.520 having their combat

00:15:16.620 helmets in their hands?

00:15:18.640 There was a helicopter.

00:15:19.900 I don't see it now.

00:15:20.900 Why?

00:15:22.340 Now, granted,

00:15:23.540 they can't be seen

00:15:24.600 by that crowd,

00:15:25.380 but these were

00:15:25.880 riot cops elsewhere.

00:15:27.840 There's moms and dads

00:15:29.040 and grandmas and grandpas

00:15:30.280 and kids in pens

00:15:31.340 and wheelchairs.

00:15:32.480 It's the most

00:15:33.040 peaceful civilian group

00:15:34.980 you'll ever meet.

00:15:36.200 I showed you the flags.

00:15:38.000 They're flags

00:15:38.780 of national patriotism.

00:15:41.080 The Union Jack

00:15:42.020 or Union Flag

00:15:42.800 as it's called.

00:15:43.980 And the different flags

00:15:45.200 of the different countries

00:15:46.100 in the UK.

00:15:47.160 England,

00:15:47.900 Wales,

00:15:48.520 Scotland.

00:15:49.740 I don't know

00:15:50.360 what the Northern Irish

00:15:51.340 flag looks like,

00:15:52.480 but it may be near too.

00:15:53.780 I saw some stars

00:15:54.580 of David.

00:15:57.260 Homemade signs.

00:15:58.760 Very, very peaceful.

00:15:59.940 So you look

00:16:00.520 at this authoritarian response

00:16:02.240 that was not there

00:16:03.600 for the Socialist Workers Party

00:16:05.120 where they said,

00:16:06.400 smash fascists.

00:16:08.560 They don't get

00:16:09.380 this sort of scare tactic.

00:16:12.000 But of course,

00:16:12.580 the main abuse

00:16:13.800 was invoking

00:16:15.220 the Terrorism Act

00:16:16.700 to sweep

00:16:17.780 Tommy Robinson

00:16:19.020 off the streets

00:16:19.980 today.

00:16:21.160 And the more

00:16:22.060 I think about it,

00:16:22.740 what irks me

00:16:23.580 is that unless

00:16:25.740 I missed it,

00:16:26.480 and I may have

00:16:27.300 because I'm based

00:16:28.300 in Canada,

00:16:29.380 but unless I missed it,

00:16:31.100 there was no question

00:16:32.420 in question period

00:16:33.380 about it.

00:16:34.620 There's been no statement

00:16:35.780 by any political

00:16:37.060 activist that I know of.

00:16:39.100 There's been no statement

00:16:40.380 by a media

00:16:41.380 or a journalism group

00:16:42.620 or a civil liberties group

00:16:45.020 about Tommy Robinson,

00:16:47.860 a citizen journalist,

00:16:49.740 being arrested

00:16:51.340 because he won't

00:16:52.500 give his cell phone

00:16:53.460 to him

00:16:53.920 to police.

00:16:57.200 Tommy Robinson's

00:16:58.000 not a terrorist.

00:16:59.520 The law was

00:17:00.180 inappropriately applied

00:17:01.340 to him.

00:17:02.820 He didn't give

00:17:03.480 the password

00:17:04.000 because he has

00:17:04.800 confidential material

00:17:06.180 on his phone,

00:17:07.340 including confidential

00:17:08.360 journalistic material,

00:17:10.020 confidential legal

00:17:11.080 material,

00:17:12.060 and for the police

00:17:13.220 to simply demand

00:17:14.240 his phone

00:17:14.780 and the password.

00:17:15.620 They took his phone

00:17:16.320 by force.

00:17:17.360 He wouldn't give

00:17:17.960 the password,

00:17:19.120 so they arrested him

00:17:20.460 for that,

00:17:21.560 and everyone here

00:17:22.440 is just cool with that.

00:17:24.360 Would they be cool

00:17:25.120 with it if it happened

00:17:25.860 to a regime journalist

00:17:27.180 at the BBC

00:17:28.280 or the Times of London?

00:17:30.300 Of course not.

00:17:31.840 And that's the problem

00:17:32.860 because the rule of law

00:17:33.960 means no one's above the law

00:17:35.320 and no one's below the law.

00:17:37.100 And just like

00:17:38.660 fancy-pants

00:17:39.620 high-ranking politicians

00:17:43.860 must answer

00:17:45.340 to justice,

00:17:47.360 no one's above the law,

00:17:49.020 no one should be

00:17:49.740 beneath the law.

00:17:50.860 And Tommy Robinson

00:17:51.720 has been treated

00:17:52.420 beneath the law

00:17:53.300 and his thousands

00:17:54.600 of supporters

00:17:55.400 have been too.

00:17:56.640 That's the main story

00:17:58.320 today,

00:17:59.440 is that civil liberties

00:18:00.800 were violated

00:18:01.920 and the establishment

00:18:04.220 doesn't care,

00:18:05.860 the media doesn't care,

00:18:07.740 only the people

00:18:08.860 on the street here care,

00:18:10.720 and I don't know

00:18:11.260 if that's enough.

00:18:15.060 If you want to support

00:18:16.140 my journalism,

00:18:17.200 go to TommyTrial.com.

00:18:19.900 I just flew in

00:18:20.640 on an Economy Class

00:18:21.740 air ticket.

00:18:22.640 I'm staying at

00:18:23.200 an Economy Hotel,

00:18:24.260 but odds are

00:18:25.260 the cost will come up

00:18:26.280 to about $1,500.

00:18:27.480 If you can help out,

00:18:28.680 go to TommyTrial.com.

00:18:29.940 Thanks.

00:18:30.500 Well, that was my day

00:18:31.740 in London

00:18:32.380 on Saturday,

00:18:33.700 October 26th,

00:18:34.600 with Tommy Robinson's rally,

00:18:36.960 a peaceful rally,

00:18:38.540 lots of patriotic flags.

00:18:40.680 I don't think

00:18:41.360 we have rallies

00:18:42.280 like that in Canada,

00:18:43.420 at least I can't

00:18:44.080 really think of any.

00:18:45.360 We have rallies

00:18:46.020 around political candidates,

00:18:47.560 but do we have rallies

00:18:48.980 for abstract ideas

00:18:50.240 like freedom?

00:18:51.140 I mean,

00:18:51.660 obviously they're not

00:18:52.400 very abstract,

00:18:53.240 they affect us every day,

00:18:54.840 but would people

00:18:55.920 come out to a

00:18:56.760 non-partisan march

00:18:58.100 or rally

00:18:59.000 or protest

00:18:59.820 for freedom?

00:19:00.900 I don't quite know.

00:19:02.160 I was touched

00:19:02.800 when I was in

00:19:03.400 Sao Paulo, Brazil,

00:19:04.660 and 200,000 people

00:19:06.400 showed up

00:19:06.980 for freedom of speech.

00:19:08.700 Pretty incredible.

00:19:09.960 Anyways,

00:19:10.340 that was Saturday.

00:19:12.040 Then there was Sunday,

00:19:13.180 and today, Monday,

00:19:14.240 what a day,

00:19:14.880 Tommy Robinson

00:19:15.660 was on trial.

00:19:17.760 He was arrested

00:19:18.420 and presented a court

00:19:19.800 in Woolwich Crown Court.

00:19:22.580 Here's how that went today.

00:19:24.460 Ezra Levant here

00:19:25.100 for Rebel News.

00:19:25.680 I'm in East London

00:19:26.720 in front of

00:19:27.280 Woolwich Crown Court.

00:19:29.500 This is the court

00:19:30.700 in which Tommy Robinson

00:19:31.960 will find his fate

00:19:34.040 for the accusation

00:19:36.920 of contempt of court.

00:19:38.780 And if he is found

00:19:40.460 in contempt,

00:19:41.740 well,

00:19:42.120 just a few hundred feet

00:19:43.480 that way

00:19:44.200 is the most serious prison

00:19:46.760 in all of the United Kingdom.

00:19:47.940 It's called

00:19:48.340 HMP Belmarsh.

00:19:50.140 It's really the Guantanamo Bay

00:19:51.720 of the United Kingdom.

00:19:52.600 The fact that they chose

00:19:54.600 this court to try him,

00:19:56.680 which has,

00:19:57.340 I understand,

00:19:57.840 an underground tunnel

00:19:58.900 connecting it

00:19:59.540 to the prison,

00:20:00.460 tells me that could be his fate.

00:20:02.560 Contempt of court

00:20:03.220 is a funny animal.

00:20:05.340 It's not a criminal prosecution

00:20:07.180 in this case.

00:20:08.080 What it is

00:20:08.540 is the judge

00:20:09.400 wants Tommy Robinson

00:20:11.160 to submit

00:20:12.020 to the judge's authority.

00:20:13.940 And the subject matter

00:20:15.300 over which they're quarreling

00:20:16.320 is that

00:20:16.840 a Syrian migrant

00:20:18.780 sued Tommy

00:20:19.940 for defamation

00:20:21.100 and he won.

00:20:23.060 Tommy made a film

00:20:24.220 about facts

00:20:24.960 that he thought

00:20:25.440 the judge didn't consider

00:20:26.700 and published that film

00:20:28.180 on Twitter.

00:20:29.160 55 million views.

00:20:31.560 He also showed it

00:20:32.260 to tens of thousands

00:20:32.960 of people

00:20:33.440 in central London

00:20:34.560 at a rally.

00:20:35.880 So you have a showdown here

00:20:37.300 between a judge

00:20:38.600 and a community activist,

00:20:41.860 both of whom

00:20:42.860 are, I suppose,

00:20:44.720 stubborn in their own way.

00:20:46.720 At the end of the day,

00:20:47.900 though,

00:20:48.080 the judge is the one

00:20:49.040 with the power.

00:20:49.920 And it'll be interesting

00:20:51.040 to see how this ends.

00:20:53.460 It is not standard

00:20:54.900 for people to be jailed

00:20:56.200 for contempt.

00:20:57.960 In fact,

00:20:58.280 I read dozens of cases

00:20:59.800 the last time

00:21:01.400 Tommy was brought up

00:21:02.560 on contempt charges.

00:21:04.220 And in every case,

00:21:05.820 the judge is happy

00:21:07.000 for the accused person

00:21:09.180 to sort of express regret

00:21:11.880 and to come back

00:21:13.560 to the law.

00:21:14.400 But Tommy,

00:21:16.140 one of the reasons

00:21:16.920 he's popular

00:21:18.140 and successful

00:21:18.860 and one of the reasons

00:21:19.540 he's inspirational

00:21:20.340 to his followers

00:21:21.180 is precisely

00:21:22.480 that he does not

00:21:23.260 bend the knee.

00:21:24.720 So I'm afraid

00:21:25.600 what we have here

00:21:26.400 is a rock

00:21:27.100 and a hard place

00:21:27.760 or an irresistible force

00:21:29.680 and an immovable object.

00:21:32.160 And other than

00:21:34.200 Tommy Robinson himself,

00:21:35.900 I don't think

00:21:36.840 a journalist

00:21:37.580 has been imprisoned

00:21:38.840 in the UK

00:21:39.420 for contempt

00:21:40.260 since I think

00:21:41.420 the 1940s.

00:21:42.640 It's really

00:21:43.360 an astonishing thing.

00:21:45.220 That same prison

00:21:46.080 is where Julian Assange

00:21:48.000 was kept in jail,

00:21:49.540 not on contempt charges

00:21:50.940 on other matters.

00:21:52.540 And I think

00:21:53.760 the United Kingdom

00:21:54.480 is losing

00:21:55.060 some of its reputation

00:21:56.200 as a place

00:21:57.200 for freedom of the press.

00:21:58.100 The UK is really

00:21:58.760 the place that invented

00:21:59.740 freedom of the press.

00:22:01.280 John Milton

00:22:01.720 in his classic book

00:22:03.360 Areopagitica

00:22:04.260 about the reasons

00:22:05.240 for free speech

00:22:06.340 was really an inspiration

00:22:07.680 for freedom

00:22:08.240 around the world,

00:22:08.800 including in the United States

00:22:10.460 of America

00:22:10.900 and obviously in Canada

00:22:12.120 and other Commonwealth countries.

00:22:13.740 I'm worried

00:22:14.620 that there's more

00:22:15.600 and more censorship

00:22:16.480 and under the Labour government

00:22:18.640 of Keir Starmer,

00:22:19.740 people have been jailed

00:22:21.260 just for making

00:22:22.480 insulting tweets.

00:22:24.380 We don't want

00:22:24.980 to be insulting in life.

00:22:26.020 It's not the best way to be.

00:22:27.040 But the punishment

00:22:27.700 of jailing people

00:22:28.840 for politically incorrect tweets

00:22:30.420 seems astonishing to me.

00:22:32.200 And they're just getting started.

00:22:34.100 I can't put this all

00:22:35.200 on the head

00:22:35.580 of the Labour government,

00:22:36.260 of course.

00:22:36.920 This was going on

00:22:38.200 for the 14 years previous

00:22:39.260 when the Tories were in power.

00:22:41.020 Anyways,

00:22:41.360 that's a very long scene setter.

00:22:42.860 I wanted to tell you

00:22:44.080 what I was doing here

00:22:44.800 and I wanted to show you

00:22:45.820 the gathered press pack here.

00:22:49.720 One, two, three, four, five,

00:22:51.260 six, seven, eight.

00:22:51.940 Now, over a dozen journalists.

00:22:54.840 I don't recognize many of them.

00:22:56.180 And this is just

00:22:56.800 the camera crew side.

00:22:58.900 Obviously, we won't be able

00:22:59.780 to take cameras into the court.

00:23:01.120 That's not the British tradition.

00:23:02.700 So this is obviously

00:23:03.760 a very major media event.

00:23:06.440 The reason I came in

00:23:07.600 from Canada to the UK

00:23:08.720 was first of all,

00:23:09.400 Tommy asked me to say

00:23:10.720 a few words at his rally

00:23:11.680 on Saturday, which I did.

00:23:13.380 But what I'm worried about

00:23:14.880 is what I'm always worried

00:23:15.880 about here in the UK

00:23:16.780 is that the mainstream media

00:23:19.160 or as I sometimes call them,

00:23:20.280 the regime media

00:23:21.580 are so driven

00:23:23.220 by their hatred

00:23:24.420 of Tommy Robinson,

00:23:25.440 either for ideological reasons

00:23:27.120 or class reasons

00:23:28.540 or simply because their bosses

00:23:29.900 tell them

00:23:30.480 we're against Tommy Robinson.

00:23:32.100 I'm worried

00:23:32.560 that despite this

00:23:33.680 massive attendance

00:23:34.520 by the press,

00:23:35.600 they're not going to be

00:23:36.460 accurate reporters of it.

00:23:37.740 So I'm going to be

00:23:39.040 live tweeting

00:23:39.840 the proceedings

00:23:40.900 on Twitter

00:23:41.860 or X as it's now called.

00:23:43.400 And you can follow

00:23:44.180 all my tweets there.

00:23:44.940 I'm also going to compile them

00:23:46.280 and do little video updates

00:23:47.820 like this

00:23:48.340 on a special website

00:23:49.580 we've set up

00:23:50.140 called

00:23:50.480 TommyTrial.com.

00:23:53.680 I should tell you

00:23:56.580 one more thing

00:23:57.160 about a week

00:23:58.940 before

00:23:59.860 today,

00:24:01.720 the hearing today,

00:24:03.220 Tommy had not yet

00:24:04.480 instructed legal counsel

00:24:05.920 and I was astonished

00:24:07.440 to hear that

00:24:08.140 and he explained

00:24:09.120 that his bank,

00:24:10.900 which is called

00:24:11.720 TIDE,

00:24:12.520 T-I-D-E 1.00

00:24:13.500 bank in the UK,

00:24:15.060 seized his bank account

00:24:16.500 and froze

00:24:17.560 the funds

00:24:18.560 that had been raised

00:24:19.860 specifically the purpose

00:24:20.900 of hiring a lawyer.

00:24:21.600 Can you imagine

00:24:22.380 that outrageous

00:24:23.720 interference

00:24:24.580 in a judicial process

00:24:26.000 to deny a man

00:24:27.400 a lawyer?

00:24:27.900 Even terrorists

00:24:28.780 in that prison

00:24:29.440 is full of them.

00:24:30.380 Even terrorists

00:24:31.080 in the UK

00:24:31.560 get a lawyer

00:24:32.280 often paid for

00:24:33.460 by the taxpayer.

00:24:34.900 So we crowdfunded,

00:24:36.800 we set up an emergency

00:24:37.900 crowdfunding campaign

00:24:39.100 for Tommy

00:24:39.560 and I'm pleased to say

00:24:40.380 we were able

00:24:40.840 to put together

00:24:41.420 enough money

00:24:41.940 to hire

00:24:43.080 a really senior

00:24:44.520 barrister

00:24:45.700 as they're called

00:24:46.400 here in the UK.

00:24:47.040 Her name is

00:24:47.880 Sasha Wasse KC,

00:24:50.060 King's Counsel.

00:24:51.660 She's very senior.

00:24:52.560 She's actually

00:24:52.980 a part-time judge

00:24:54.000 as well as a lawyer.

00:24:55.180 I'm not quite sure

00:24:55.780 how that works

00:24:56.300 but they do that

00:24:56.980 here in the UK.

00:24:58.380 She's very famous

00:24:59.200 for defending

00:24:59.880 the Sun tabloid newspaper

00:25:01.500 against Johnny Depp

00:25:02.520 when he sued them

00:25:04.020 in defamation

00:25:05.160 and she won.

00:25:06.280 So she's no stranger

00:25:07.280 to high profile

00:25:08.280 and even controversial cases

00:25:09.660 and from what I can tell

00:25:12.200 about her,

00:25:12.640 she's a winner. 0.82

00:25:13.820 But I say again

00:25:14.920 the central fact

00:25:16.320 of today's hearing

00:25:17.040 will be

00:25:17.500 does Tommy Robinson

00:25:18.900 submit to the authority

00:25:20.980 of the judge?

00:25:22.480 And I've known Tommy

00:25:23.620 for a long enough time

00:25:24.620 to think that

00:25:25.280 the man will not

00:25:26.640 bend the knee

00:25:27.200 so I'm afraid

00:25:28.200 that if things go

00:25:29.820 as I think they will

00:25:30.620 Tommy Robinson

00:25:31.360 will be found

00:25:32.100 in contempt of court

00:25:32.960 and I think

00:25:34.620 the location

00:25:35.500 of this courthouse

00:25:36.760 is a premonition

00:25:37.940 of what will happen

00:25:39.200 to him.

00:25:40.120 He has asked me

00:25:41.220 if he is jailed

00:25:42.420 to check up on him

00:25:43.440 from time to time

00:25:44.280 to ensure his prison

00:25:45.620 treatment is acceptable

00:25:47.240 as you know

00:25:47.840 that in previous

00:25:48.460 incarcerations

00:25:49.320 Tommy was put in prisons

00:25:50.960 with a very high

00:25:52.080 Muslim population

00:25:53.100 where Muslim gangs 0.64

00:25:54.300 sort of ruled the place

00:25:55.900 and of course

00:25:56.760 Tommy Robinson

00:25:57.540 is considered an enemy

00:25:58.920 by radical Islam

00:26:00.560 and he would be

00:26:01.720 in physical jeopardy

00:26:02.820 in other prisons

00:26:03.460 he was made to go

00:26:04.780 into solitary confinement

00:26:05.840 into the hole

00:26:06.500 for his own safety.

00:26:08.860 At Belmarsh Prison

00:26:09.820 there is sort of

00:26:10.580 a special handling unit

00:26:11.640 where he'll be able

00:26:12.680 to be safe

00:26:13.780 where he will come

00:26:14.800 into contact

00:26:15.420 with no other prisoners

00:26:16.800 he'll get a daily visit

00:26:17.880 from the prison warden

00:26:19.440 or governor

00:26:19.900 as they're called here

00:26:20.660 a daily visit

00:26:21.640 from the prison doctor

00:26:22.560 or nurse

00:26:22.960 but it will actually

00:26:24.400 be a very solitary existence

00:26:25.660 if you have a brief meeting

00:26:27.740 with two prison staff

00:26:28.900 once a day

00:26:29.720 and have some exercise time

00:26:31.000 but you're literally

00:26:31.980 in contact

00:26:32.620 with no one else

00:26:33.420 I think you could go mad

00:26:34.880 a little bit

00:26:35.320 I think solitary confinement

00:26:36.420 is a kind of torture

00:26:37.740 and you could see

00:26:38.320 what that did

00:26:38.860 to the mental health

00:26:39.680 of Julian Assange

00:26:40.940 so this is a very interesting case

00:26:43.160 and a very troubling one

00:26:44.100 and I regret to say

00:26:45.480 I'm not optimistic

00:26:46.360 that the press pack

00:26:48.040 that's gathered here

00:26:48.860 will be fair

00:26:49.560 in their coverage

00:26:50.200 in fact I think

00:26:51.300 some of them

00:26:51.640 will be diabolical

00:26:52.600 in their hatred

00:26:53.240 you've heard of

00:26:53.760 Trump derangement syndrome

00:26:55.860 a lot of journalists have it

00:26:58.140 they just loathe Trump

00:26:59.220 with every essence

00:27:00.820 of their being

00:27:01.380 I think there's a

00:27:02.020 Tommy derangement syndrome

00:27:03.960 TDS

00:27:04.600 and I think a lot

00:27:05.620 of journalists have it

00:27:06.480 but anyways

00:27:06.980 we're here a little bit early

00:27:08.380 as a lot of people are

00:27:09.500 I'm going to be

00:27:10.000 live tweeting

00:27:10.580 from inside the court

00:27:11.500 to stay in touch

00:27:13.120 with all of my stories

00:27:14.240 on this

00:27:14.580 follow me on Twitter

00:27:15.300 at Ezra Levant

00:27:16.040 or go to

00:27:17.160 TommyTrial.com

00:27:19.180 now I flew into the UK

00:27:20.520 on an economy class

00:27:22.040 ticket from Canada

00:27:22.740 and I'm staying

00:27:23.300 in a teeny tiny hotel

00:27:25.380 in London

00:27:25.980 but it's still expensive

00:27:26.920 if you can chip in

00:27:28.160 to help me crowdfund

00:27:29.180 the cost of my journey

00:27:30.680 I'd be grateful

00:27:31.260 you can do that

00:27:31.880 at TommyTrial.com

00:27:33.020 as well

00:27:33.840 alright I'll keep you posted

00:27:34.980 Ezra Levant here

00:27:36.360 it's just after noon

00:27:37.660 in London

00:27:38.820 we're in the east side

00:27:40.580 of London

00:27:41.000 at the Woolwich Crown Court

00:27:44.840 which abuts Belmarsh

00:27:46.980 the highest security prison

00:27:48.540 in the land

00:27:49.080 Tommy Robinson

00:27:50.400 was found

00:27:51.780 to be in contempt

00:27:53.380 of court

00:27:53.920 he was given

00:27:54.940 a sentence

00:27:55.520 of 18 months

00:27:57.000 less 3 days

00:27:58.360 of which half

00:27:59.560 will be served

00:28:00.380 let me do the math

00:28:01.900 for you

00:28:02.320 just under 9 months

00:28:04.560 Tommy will serve

00:28:05.860 in the Guantanamo Bay

00:28:07.580 of the UK

00:28:08.320 the harshest prison

00:28:09.500 the prison

00:28:10.360 with the terrorists

00:28:11.220 the prison

00:28:11.720 with the murderers

00:28:12.580 Tommy Robinson

00:28:13.720 will spend

00:28:14.840 9 months there

00:28:16.540 because he published

00:28:18.240 the film

00:28:19.240 silenced

00:28:20.200 taking on the judiciary

00:28:21.940 and censorship

00:28:22.820 it's so ironic

00:28:24.140 it is not a criminal conviction

00:28:25.380 let me be crystal clear

00:28:26.480 Tommy Robinson

00:28:27.620 was accused

00:28:28.260 of no crime

00:28:29.180 he did not profit

00:28:30.680 in any way

00:28:31.280 there was no subterfuge

00:28:32.660 he simply was motivated

00:28:34.420 to tell his side

00:28:35.680 of the story

00:28:36.420 about an atrocious

00:28:38.420 case of injustice

00:28:40.620 and because he did so

00:28:42.860 counter to a judge's order

00:28:45.180 he will now spend

00:28:46.700 9 months in prison

00:28:48.280 with murderers

00:28:50.500 and terrorists

00:28:51.540 in isolation

00:28:53.280 to be kept safe

00:28:54.980 from the Islamic gangs 0.55

00:28:56.640 that run the prisons

00:28:58.000 in the UK

00:28:58.620 Tommy will be sent

00:29:00.060 to Belmarsh

00:29:00.720 in the special

00:29:01.380 handling unit

00:29:02.780 right there

00:29:03.880 is an atrocious

00:29:06.520 condemnation

00:29:07.480 of the state

00:29:08.300 of affairs

00:29:08.700 in the UK

00:29:09.200 they have lost

00:29:10.340 control of their own prisons

00:29:11.560 so they have to put

00:29:12.740 a journalist

00:29:13.220 in solitary confinement

00:29:14.580 to protect him

00:29:15.660 and just turn the camera

00:29:16.460 over there

00:29:17.000 look at all those

00:29:17.960 cops who are here

00:29:18.900 look at all the cops

00:29:20.020 here and look at

00:29:20.660 all the cops there

00:29:21.600 this is the two-tier

00:29:23.400 justice

00:29:23.900 that Tommy Robinson

00:29:24.920 has been railing

00:29:25.920 against

00:29:26.700 a journalist

00:29:27.980 sent to prison

00:29:29.260 9 months

00:29:30.780 hard time

00:29:31.700 in Belmarsh

00:29:32.640 you probably have

00:29:33.680 50 cops here

00:29:34.780 for what?

00:29:36.660 did they think

00:29:37.380 that there was

00:29:37.880 going to be a riot

00:29:38.700 of indigenous

00:29:39.320 British people?

00:29:40.680 what exactly?

00:29:41.840 they arrested Tommy

00:29:43.140 under the terrorism act

00:29:44.420 did they think

00:29:44.880 he's a terrorist?

00:29:46.060 I think the United Kingdom

00:29:47.520 has an embarrassment

00:29:48.880 on its hand

00:29:49.620 but it doesn't know

00:29:50.520 to be embarrassed

00:29:51.300 I put it to you

00:29:52.540 there won't be a single

00:29:53.560 mainstream media journalist

00:29:55.040 who finds any of this

00:29:56.300 upsetting

00:29:57.120 and I know that

00:29:58.100 because not a single

00:29:59.060 one of them were upset

00:29:59.800 when Tommy was arrested

00:30:00.780 had his phone taken

00:30:02.060 by police

00:30:02.680 and was jailed

00:30:03.640 because he didn't

00:30:04.160 give them the password

00:30:04.920 I believe that England

00:30:06.780 which used to be the

00:30:08.120 crucible of freedom

00:30:10.000 of speech

00:30:10.520 it was the role model

00:30:11.760 for commonwealth countries

00:30:13.840 around the world

00:30:14.540 it is now losing

00:30:15.980 its freedom of speech

00:30:17.100 you know the other day

00:30:18.800 Elon Musk remarked

00:30:20.180 that he didn't want to

00:30:21.560 come to the United Kingdom

00:30:22.600 because he was worried

00:30:23.480 he might be arrested

00:30:24.280 for his tweets

00:30:25.040 today's nine month

00:30:27.460 prison term

00:30:28.200 for Tommy Robinson

00:30:29.120 suggests that

00:30:30.340 Elon Musk

00:30:30.940 is right about that

00:30:31.980 to see all my reports

00:30:33.780 on this outrageous subject

00:30:35.400 go to TommyTrial.com

00:30:38.040 and let me say

00:30:39.000 one last thing

00:30:39.680 I made a promise

00:30:40.420 to Tommy

00:30:40.980 that I would visit him

00:30:42.360 in Belmarsh Prison

00:30:43.540 on a regular basis

00:30:44.540 to ensure

00:30:45.500 that his treatment

00:30:46.460 is satisfactory

00:30:47.720 now you cannot have

00:30:48.740 any satisfactory treatment

00:30:50.320 in solitary confinement

00:30:51.640 but I did promise him

00:30:53.120 that I would fly over

00:30:54.440 and visit him

00:30:55.160 and I intend

00:30:55.720 to keep that promise

00:30:56.660 we also as you know

00:30:58.000 crowdfunded his lawyers

00:30:59.320 and any surplus

00:31:00.400 I don't know

00:31:00.860 if there will be one

00:31:01.640 any surplus

00:31:02.500 will go to his kids

00:31:03.900 I'm outraged

00:31:04.900 by what's going on

00:31:05.660 but I intend

00:31:06.140 to continue to cover it

00:31:07.060 as long as I'm allowed to

00:31:08.020 I should tell you

00:31:08.820 that when the judge

00:31:10.000 I was live tweeting

00:31:11.100 from the court all day

00:31:12.280 that when the judge

00:31:13.200 finally uttered his remarks

00:31:15.220 a security guard

00:31:17.920 came in

00:31:18.380 and told me

00:31:18.920 to close my computer

00:31:20.000 and that I would be in trouble

00:31:21.640 if I continued

00:31:22.300 to live tweet

00:31:22.960 what the hell was that

00:31:24.280 at the apex of the day

00:31:26.360 I had been tweeting

00:31:27.260 in there for two hours

00:31:28.320 at the apex of the day

00:31:29.400 some little security guard

00:31:30.800 orders me to close my laptop

00:31:32.680 or I'll be in trouble

00:31:33.800 welcome to the United Kingdom

00:31:35.200 in 2024

00:31:35.940 oh I meant to say 1984

00:31:38.280 go to TommyTrial.com

00:31:40.220 for all my coverage

00:31:41.120 Ezra Levant here

00:31:43.740 with Rebel News

00:31:44.480 a gentleman

00:31:45.180 who I've been following online

00:31:46.680 and I finally met today

00:31:47.900 Niak Ghorbani

00:31:49.320 who's been a very courageous

00:31:50.620 person on the streets

00:31:52.360 and on Twitter

00:31:53.100 he defies the pro-Hamas 0.91

00:31:55.360 terrorist

00:31:56.120 with his sign

00:31:57.460 Niak what a pleasure

00:31:58.460 to meet you in person

00:31:59.200 thank you so much

00:32:00.320 you hold up a sign

00:32:01.780 that says Hamas is terrorist

00:32:03.160 and every time

00:32:04.340 the cops go after you

00:32:05.700 instead of the Hamas people 0.98

00:32:07.040 yeah

00:32:08.100 actually

00:32:08.820 I'm not feeling

00:32:10.640 really safe

00:32:12.040 after this court

00:32:12.920 you know

00:32:13.340 you're living in this country

00:32:16.280 you feel

00:32:17.180 you are

00:32:18.280 in

00:32:19.380 free country

00:32:20.740 but you are not

00:32:21.700 you know

00:32:22.760 I'm

00:32:23.260 just

00:32:24.400 just telling to myself

00:32:26.340 in court

00:32:27.000 it's just

00:32:28.300 just

00:32:28.840 just because

00:32:30.020 showing the truth

00:32:31.140 I'm

00:32:32.180 I'm doing that same

00:32:33.620 you know

00:32:34.020 you're clearly shocked

00:32:35.360 by this

00:32:35.700 I was delighted to meet you

00:32:36.780 and so I was upbeat

00:32:37.600 for a moment

00:32:38.160 but you're obviously

00:32:39.260 still digesting

00:32:40.440 what we just heard in there

00:32:41.420 Tommy Robinson

00:32:42.340 sentenced to 18 years

00:32:43.860 last three days

00:32:44.680 it'll be cut in half

00:32:46.060 he'll serve nine months

00:32:47.520 that's an astonishing sentence

00:32:49.240 for

00:32:49.880 for the non-crime

00:32:51.880 it wasn't a criminal offense

00:32:52.940 of journalism

00:32:53.800 you seem a little bit

00:32:55.140 rocked by this

00:32:56.260 exactly

00:32:56.720 I'm a journalist

00:32:57.680 I'm an activist

00:32:58.540 same as

00:32:59.340 you know

00:32:59.840 Tommy

00:33:00.240 you know

00:33:01.060 it's really

00:33:02.060 really

00:33:02.580 I don't understand

00:33:04.420 how

00:33:05.680 it's

00:33:06.600 possible

00:33:07.420 in this country

00:33:09.280 in the United Kingdom

00:33:11.700 how

00:33:13.000 it's possible

00:33:14.020 they

00:33:14.840 made

00:33:15.820 made

00:33:16.620 someone

00:33:17.380 guilty

00:33:18.040 just

00:33:19.180 because

00:33:19.940 they want

00:33:20.620 now

00:33:21.540 you

00:33:21.920 you're from

00:33:22.700 Iran

00:33:23.240 originally

00:33:23.940 compare

00:33:24.880 the treatment

00:33:25.800 of journalists

00:33:26.740 in Iran

00:33:27.280 with the treatment

00:33:28.280 of journalists

00:33:29.020 in the United Kingdom

00:33:30.440 same as here

00:33:31.200 exactly

00:33:32.300 I'm feeling

00:33:33.200 live in

00:33:34.420 Islamic Republic

00:33:35.540 sad

00:33:37.520 is it

00:33:38.420 totally sad

00:33:39.660 I can see

00:33:41.220 your sorrow

00:33:41.640 I can see it

00:33:42.120 in your face 0.50

00:33:42.640 I suppose

00:33:43.240 I have

00:33:43.680 pre-digested

00:33:44.760 this outcome

00:33:45.720 because I've been

00:33:46.340 talking to Tommy

00:33:47.180 frequently over the

00:33:48.220 last week or two

00:33:48.960 so I think I've already

00:33:50.080 gone through the process

00:33:51.100 you are

00:33:51.500 it's actually quite

00:33:52.560 moving to see you

00:33:53.880 I was looking down

00:33:55.240 from the public gallery

00:33:56.500 you were in the

00:33:57.160 courtroom

00:33:57.600 the judge

00:33:59.240 seemed to me

00:34:00.180 like he had

00:34:00.720 pre-written this ruling

00:34:01.780 like we

00:34:02.160 we just went through

00:34:03.300 this very lengthy

00:34:04.140 and detailed presentation

00:34:04.980 and he starts reading

00:34:06.220 from his computer

00:34:06.960 a verdict

00:34:07.440 without

00:34:08.600 there wasn't even

00:34:09.340 a one minute break

00:34:10.160 he had pre-written

00:34:11.720 certain things

00:34:12.680 at least that's how

00:34:13.360 it looked to me

00:34:14.120 absolutely

00:34:15.780 everyone who was

00:34:17.640 in court

00:34:18.360 and seen the judge

00:34:19.760 that was

00:34:21.900 pre-assessment

00:34:23.460 he just

00:34:24.820 read

00:34:25.460 he just read

00:34:26.580 read the order

00:34:27.480 he read the order

00:34:29.400 that was on his computer

00:34:30.960 and I could see

00:34:32.140 his fingers

00:34:32.680 that he was scrolling

00:34:33.440 down as he was reading it

00:34:34.520 immediately after hearing

00:34:37.080 an enormous amount

00:34:38.140 of detailed

00:34:38.620 argument

00:34:39.180 from the lawyers

00:34:41.120 that's very fishy

00:34:42.740 yeah

00:34:43.480 absolutely

00:34:44.700 it's

00:34:45.520 as I'm saying

00:34:46.480 here

00:34:47.280 judge

00:34:48.560 come and

00:34:49.200 read the order

00:34:50.160 that's it

00:34:51.000 nothing else

00:34:52.040 thank you so much

00:34:52.800 Niaq

00:34:53.140 keep fighting for freedom

00:34:53.960 on the streets

00:34:54.520 I salute your courage

00:34:55.740 and I feel your sorrow

00:34:57.180 today

00:34:57.520 and if I'm to a beat

00:34:58.800 well it's just

00:35:00.160 because I'm meeting you

00:35:00.920 actually

00:35:01.400 and I've had

00:35:03.480 I've been weighing

00:35:05.200 these weighty matters

00:35:06.540 for some time now

00:35:07.380 thank you for standing

00:35:08.180 by Tommy here today

00:35:09.120 my pleasure

00:35:10.160 we are not stopped

00:35:11.680 we are fighting

00:35:12.900 fight

00:35:13.860 fight

00:35:14.360 fight

00:35:14.740 as Tommy said

00:35:15.800 Donald Trump said

00:35:17.360 we are

00:35:18.060 we are fighting

00:35:19.220 for our freedom

00:35:20.000 we should be

00:35:21.120 you know

00:35:21.720 thank you so much

00:35:22.560 thank you

00:35:22.860 Niaq Ghorbani

00:35:23.660 a man who loves

00:35:25.320 the freedom

00:35:25.740 of the United Kingdom

00:35:26.440 and you can see

00:35:27.180 the sorrow in his face

00:35:28.400 with Tommy Robinson's

00:35:30.040 sentence today

00:35:30.820 Ezra LeMann

00:35:31.720 I'm standing outside

00:35:32.720 Woolwich Crown Court

00:35:33.960 which is adjacent

00:35:34.720 to the Guantanamo Bay

00:35:36.540 of UK prisons

00:35:37.460 it's called

00:35:37.920 His Majesty's Prison

00:35:39.440 Bellmarsh

00:35:40.100 it's where all the

00:35:40.660 terrorists and murderers go

00:35:41.820 and now a journalist

00:35:43.300 Tommy Robinson

00:35:44.420 will serve

00:35:45.040 a nine month sentence

00:35:47.040 here

00:35:47.220 the judge said

00:35:48.000 he wanted to give Tommy

00:35:49.220 the maximum sentence possible

00:35:51.240 they started at two years

00:35:52.800 but there's various

00:35:53.520 mathematical reasons

00:35:54.660 why it'll be cut down

00:35:55.900 to nine months

00:35:56.380 but think about it

00:35:57.000 nine months of hard time

00:35:59.040 served in the worst

00:36:00.400 prison in the UK

00:36:01.360 in solitary confinement

00:36:03.260 nine months

00:36:04.720 of solitary confinement

00:36:06.820 that's a form of torture

00:36:07.980 solitary confinement

00:36:09.020 is not meant to be used

00:36:10.560 other than a very

00:36:11.300 episodic basis

00:36:12.480 to punish

00:36:13.120 some prison fight

00:36:14.900 or something

00:36:15.520 Tommy Robinson

00:36:16.460 will be put to prison

00:36:17.740 nine months in solitary

00:36:19.140 for what?

00:36:20.500 he was convicted

00:36:21.140 of no crime today

00:36:22.080 he is

00:36:22.460 what happened today

00:36:23.440 was not a crime

00:36:24.300 Tommy Robinson

00:36:25.360 simply produced

00:36:26.880 and published a movie

00:36:27.960 that a judge

00:36:28.820 told him not to

00:36:29.920 it was a quarrel

00:36:30.820 about what a Syrian

00:36:32.280 teenage refugee

00:36:34.100 did or didn't do

00:36:35.140 at a school

00:36:35.820 the refugee says

00:36:37.180 he was bullied

00:36:37.980 other people at the school

00:36:40.000 said that he was

00:36:41.000 the bully

00:36:41.400 there was a dispute

00:36:42.660 Tommy says

00:36:44.220 the truth

00:36:45.060 is that the Syrian

00:36:46.100 kid was roughing up

00:36:47.340 other kids

00:36:47.760 and he interviewed

00:36:48.520 other people at the school

00:36:49.800 and he showed documents

00:36:50.760 from the school

00:36:51.300 to prove it

00:36:52.300 but a judge said

00:36:53.440 that is not true

00:36:54.440 that's disinformation

00:36:56.020 I'm not sure

00:36:56.680 if that's the exact word

00:36:57.600 the judge used

00:36:58.260 but he said to Tommy

00:36:59.420 you may not repeat

00:37:00.580 those facts

00:37:01.240 well Tommy did

00:37:02.140 because he was

00:37:03.120 motivated by journalism

00:37:04.260 he was motivated

00:37:04.980 by the public interest

00:37:05.980 as his lawyer

00:37:06.940 Sasha Wasse said today

00:37:08.180 the judge wasn't

00:37:09.000 having any of it

00:37:09.880 the judge said

00:37:10.680 it was one of the

00:37:11.100 most serious cases

00:37:12.060 deserving of the

00:37:12.920 worst punishment

00:37:13.520 he could meet out

00:37:14.360 nine months in prison

00:37:16.140 for journalism

00:37:16.940 even the courtroom

00:37:18.400 itself was bizarre

00:37:19.440 how they kept out

00:37:20.320 Tommy's supporters

00:37:21.240 even though there were

00:37:22.100 empty seats

00:37:22.760 and bizarrely

00:37:24.040 I was allowed to live tweet

00:37:25.460 the proceedings

00:37:26.120 until the judge

00:37:27.140 started to speak

00:37:27.800 at which point

00:37:28.520 a security guard

00:37:29.300 was dispatched

00:37:30.340 to tell me to stop

00:37:31.600 just absolutely bizarre

00:37:33.680 just the bureaucracy

00:37:35.380 and the red tape

00:37:36.540 of this place

00:37:37.280 is numbing

00:37:39.000 and frustrating

00:37:39.740 it's the banality

00:37:42.420 of authoritarianism

00:37:44.440 you know George Orwell

00:37:46.080 wrote the book

00:37:46.640 1984 more than 70 years ago

00:37:48.920 and the idea

00:37:50.620 that someone

00:37:51.180 would be put in prison

00:37:52.480 for nine months

00:37:54.380 for journalism

00:37:55.960 I don't think

00:37:56.580 would have occurred

00:37:57.140 to him

00:37:57.480 I don't think it did

00:37:58.460 the crazy thing

00:38:00.360 that here in the

00:38:00.960 United Kingdom

00:38:01.540 the new Labour

00:38:02.280 Prime Minister

00:38:02.800 Keir Starmer

00:38:03.440 has released hundreds

00:38:04.880 of violent criminals

00:38:07.020 to make way for

00:38:08.300 political criminals

00:38:09.740 you may have seen

00:38:10.500 the news reports

00:38:11.220 that in recent months

00:38:12.620 dozens of

00:38:14.820 indigenous white

00:38:16.260 working class Brits

00:38:17.360 have been jailed

00:38:18.360 not for violence

00:38:19.400 but for tweeting

00:38:20.640 insults

00:38:21.880 or tweeting

00:38:22.380 mean tweets

00:38:23.340 about racial issues

00:38:25.940 racial crime 0.93

00:38:26.720 race riots

00:38:27.440 so Keir Starmer

00:38:28.700 the Labour Prime Minister

00:38:29.560 in the UK

00:38:29.940 has emptied the prisons

00:38:31.520 of actual violent men

00:38:33.740 to make way

00:38:35.160 for these political prisoners

00:38:36.580 and in fact

00:38:37.280 that's exactly

00:38:37.820 what's happened

00:38:38.280 to Tommy

00:38:38.740 he will be

00:38:40.120 in the highest

00:38:40.900 security prison

00:38:41.780 in the entire country

00:38:42.800 a place where

00:38:43.960 murderers and terrorists

00:38:45.940 are

00:38:46.740 that's who's there

00:38:48.340 but they've had to

00:38:49.580 make room for him

00:38:50.640 haven't they

00:38:51.320 have they released

00:38:52.260 a murderer

00:38:52.820 or a terrorist

00:38:53.580 to make room

00:38:54.180 for Tommy Robinson

00:38:55.040 another outrageous act

00:38:57.800 was Tommy was not

00:38:58.940 allowed to attend

00:39:00.900 his rally

00:39:01.920 in London

00:39:03.620 a couple of days ago

00:39:04.480 because he was

00:39:04.940 arrested by police

00:39:05.820 for the sin

00:39:06.680 of not giving

00:39:07.360 the password

00:39:07.940 to his cell phone

00:39:09.140 police seized

00:39:09.880 his cell phone

00:39:10.600 demanded the password

00:39:11.860 to it

00:39:12.260 when Tommy said

00:39:13.400 get a warrant

00:39:14.100 they jailed him

00:39:15.940 and the only reason

00:39:17.820 that they could do

00:39:18.500 that to him

00:39:19.040 is they approached him

00:39:20.320 under the terrorism act

00:39:21.620 there's a ticking

00:39:22.440 time bomb provision

00:39:23.420 where you can

00:39:23.900 do warrantless

00:39:25.540 searches and seizures

00:39:26.580 but only to terrorists

00:39:28.360 so we're in the UK

00:39:29.540 where journalists

00:39:30.660 are treated like terrorists

00:39:31.880 where journalists

00:39:32.840 are jailed like murderers

00:39:34.440 and actual violent

00:39:35.640 criminals are set free

00:39:37.180 I'm very sad

00:39:38.720 about what's happening

00:39:39.620 to the United Kingdom

00:39:40.680 let me say one last thing

00:39:42.460 I mean Tommy Robinson

00:39:43.280 is a divisive figure

00:39:44.540 we know that

00:39:45.160 but in democracy

00:39:47.420 that's how you resolve

00:39:48.320 questions

00:39:48.800 you call the question

00:39:50.240 yay or nay

00:39:51.000 it's called taking

00:39:52.180 a division of the house

00:39:53.360 and there are very

00:39:55.160 challenging issues afoot

00:39:56.380 in the United Kingdom

00:39:57.060 and Canada

00:39:57.560 and around the world

00:39:58.220 about immigration

00:39:59.300 about Islamification

00:40:01.000 of the public square

00:40:01.980 about crime

00:40:03.240 about taxes

00:40:03.880 about freedom

00:40:04.460 about censorship

00:40:05.160 there are difficult questions

00:40:06.660 that we need to call

00:40:07.700 for a division

00:40:08.680 not everything can be glossed over

00:40:10.880 you can't split the difference

00:40:12.100 on a number of things

00:40:13.040 and it's my belief

00:40:15.700 that Tommy Robinson

00:40:16.440 keeps hundreds of thousands

00:40:18.100 or even millions of people

00:40:19.320 integrated into the political system

00:40:21.800 he keeps them believing enough

00:40:23.980 in the courts

00:40:24.800 that they respect the outcomes

00:40:27.060 he keeps them believing enough

00:40:28.480 in democracy

00:40:29.420 that they go to vote

00:40:30.400 and if Tommy is imprisoned

00:40:32.900 and bankrupted

00:40:34.440 and his reputation destroyed

00:40:36.400 and his friends marginalized

00:40:38.220 what will that do

00:40:40.020 other than make people

00:40:41.120 remove themselves

00:40:42.240 from the system

00:40:43.160 and that's what I'm afraid of

00:40:45.220 if people are so

00:40:46.500 feel so rejected

00:40:47.980 and cut off

00:40:48.600 from the UK establishment

00:40:50.380 that they cannot solve

00:40:52.240 their grievances

00:40:52.900 in a democratic

00:40:53.920 peaceful way

00:40:54.720 and they result

00:40:55.560 to other ways

00:40:56.440 I saw in the recent race riots

00:40:58.520 in the north of England

00:40:59.440 there was some polling

00:41:01.440 that a number of people

00:41:03.240 believed that the riots

00:41:04.520 were a legitimate expression

00:41:05.880 of opinion

00:41:06.380 and why would they say that?

00:41:08.380 I think it's because

00:41:09.240 go ahead

00:41:10.260 pass through

00:41:10.700 I think it's because

00:41:12.600 people believe

00:41:13.280 that parliament

00:41:13.820 no longer works

00:41:14.680 and the media

00:41:15.480 no longer works

00:41:16.240 and the judiciary

00:41:16.920 no longer works

00:41:17.840 so if all of the systems

00:41:19.400 that have been created

00:41:20.160 to handle

00:41:21.160 and arbitrate grievances

00:41:22.580 are foreclosed

00:41:24.080 to people like Tommy

00:41:25.000 there will be people

00:41:26.900 who resort to violent ways

00:41:29.080 and I don't support that

00:41:30.340 I don't want that to happen

00:41:31.320 but that's what happens

00:41:32.280 when you cast people out

00:41:34.360 when you exile them

00:41:35.660 to Belmarsh prison

00:41:36.720 because they have

00:41:37.680 a different point of view

00:41:38.480 than you

00:41:38.780 or because they have

00:41:39.380 a different understanding

00:41:40.500 of the facts

00:41:41.100 than a judge

00:41:42.060 I'm worried

00:41:42.700 about the marginalization

00:41:44.380 of Tommy Robinson

00:41:45.500 not just for him

00:41:46.680 because I'm affectionate

00:41:47.640 towards him as a friend

00:41:48.480 but I'm worried

00:41:49.520 about the millions of Brits

00:41:50.560 who look up to him

00:41:51.420 and what this will mean to them

00:41:52.820 I'll give you some more

00:41:54.340 thoughts later

00:41:54.900 but you can see all my videos

00:41:56.340 at TommyTrial.com

00:41:58.580 is this a Halloween costume

00:42:20.840 you're wearing

00:42:21.280 they don't support Canada

00:42:23.460 and as far as I'm concerned

00:42:24.480 if you don't support Canada

00:42:25.320 you're not proud to be Canadian

00:42:26.140 get out

00:42:26.820 leave

00:42:27.420 go back to where you came from

00:42:29.060 I'm a member of the media

00:42:30.240 so I can be on a public

00:42:32.000 you're here trying to provoke us

00:42:34.300 why don't you just walk away

00:42:35.840 oh sir

00:42:36.640 can you tell me

00:42:37.340 what's going on here

00:42:38.500 stay back

00:42:38.980 please don't touch me

00:42:40.740 stay back

00:42:41.320 when Justin Trudeau

00:42:42.560 leaves this office

00:42:43.920 things are going to change

00:42:45.520 and we need to see change today

00:42:48.080 don't touch the mic

00:42:49.540 put that mic out of my face

00:42:51.040 don't touch it

00:42:51.940 you put that mic in my face

00:42:53.180 get that mic out of my face

00:42:54.700 stop putting that mic in my face

00:42:57.940 why

00:42:58.760 because I want to keep the peace here

00:43:00.580 why don't you uphold your oath officer

00:43:02.820 I'm practicing journalism

00:43:04.220 on a public street

00:43:05.360 cooler minds can sit down

00:43:07.160 and work this thing out

00:43:09.300 that's been around for so long

00:43:11.060 I hope to God

00:43:12.540 God help us

00:43:13.400 that everyone sit down

00:43:16.120 and work this out

00:43:17.180 it'll take a couple of generations

00:43:18.800 because hate doesn't disappear overnight

00:43:21.560 David Menzies for Rebel News

00:43:26.340 here in North Toronto

00:43:27.680 and folks I'm standing at the corner

00:43:29.760 of Bathurst and Shepherd

00:43:31.920 and there's a couple of things

00:43:33.880 you should know about this intersection

00:43:35.600 for more than a year now

00:43:38.020 there has been a pro-Israel

00:43:40.800 pro-Jewish demonstration

00:43:43.080 at the metro plaza

00:43:45.600 and another thing you should know

00:43:47.740 there is a sizable Jewish minority

00:43:50.880 in this neck of the woods in Toronto

00:43:53.180 and that brings me to the crux of the matter

00:43:56.020 in the department of

00:43:57.880 how low can you go

00:44:00.060 well

00:44:00.980 when it comes to the pro-Hamas crowd

00:44:03.760 they have invaded this area

00:44:06.300 they came here

00:44:07.320 last weekend

00:44:08.700 and they're back again

00:44:10.520 this weekend

00:44:11.560 now

00:44:11.820 there are thousands of intersections

00:44:14.200 where the Hamasholes

00:44:16.640 can assemble

00:44:17.940 but no

00:44:19.660 they want to come here

00:44:21.380 and it reminds me of that

00:44:22.980 Bruce Springsteen lyric

00:44:24.440 wearing trouble on their shirts

00:44:27.160 and I think really

00:44:29.400 that's what they want

00:44:31.080 they want a confrontation

00:44:32.540 they want violence

00:44:34.660 and really

00:44:35.740 can you blame them

00:44:37.060 the police

00:44:38.700 for more than a year now

00:44:40.300 have turned a blind eye

00:44:41.940 and a deaf ear

00:44:42.860 to chants for genocide

00:44:44.760 to violence

00:44:46.460 to vandalism

00:44:48.340 firebombing

00:44:49.480 and it's inexplicable

00:44:51.720 in fact

00:44:52.260 they've gone one step further

00:44:54.280 haven't they

00:44:54.920 on cold days

00:44:56.280 the Toronto Police Service

00:44:58.040 rank and file

00:44:59.360 reimagined themselves

00:45:00.660 as Uber Eats drivers

00:45:03.100 delivering coffee

00:45:05.080 and Timbits

00:45:06.040 to the thugs here

00:45:07.660 in terms of a response

00:45:09.460 to what occurred here

00:45:11.460 last Sunday

00:45:12.840 the Jewish community

00:45:14.620 has come out

00:45:15.660 on mass

00:45:16.600 they're on the other side

00:45:17.660 of the street

00:45:18.220 I would say

00:45:19.800 the demonstrators

00:45:20.800 the pro-Hamas 1.00

00:45:22.280 Hitler youth types 0.81

00:45:23.560 they're probably outnumbered

00:45:25.400 at least a hundred to one

00:45:27.100 but they're here anyways

00:45:28.900 and they're doing

00:45:29.780 their due rigueur tactics

00:45:31.660 of trying to cause trouble

00:45:34.460 I see a sign here

00:45:36.080 where the word

00:45:37.540 Nazis

00:45:38.040 is being used

00:45:39.420 to equate

00:45:40.900 Jews

00:45:41.880 which is absolutely

00:45:43.780 shocking

00:45:44.720 given recent

00:45:46.020 world history

00:45:46.880 and again folks

00:45:48.960 it's all about

00:45:49.900 pushing the envelope

00:45:51.100 they know

00:45:52.420 that the police

00:45:53.360 are super hesitant

00:45:55.020 to charge them

00:45:57.180 the police like to go

00:45:58.660 after peaceful

00:45:59.400 counter demonstrators

00:46:00.560 the police like to go

00:46:02.200 after members of the

00:46:03.580 independent media

00:46:04.580 on if you want

00:46:05.720 video evidence

00:46:06.540 do you remember

00:46:07.400 when my cameraman

00:46:08.360 Efren Monsanto

00:46:09.420 and I

00:46:09.940 were at

00:46:11.280 the King Eddie Hotel

00:46:12.580 in March

00:46:13.420 and then

00:46:14.420 Nathan Phillips Square

00:46:15.660 in April

00:46:16.620 and

00:46:17.680 what happened?

00:46:19.060 well

00:46:19.220 yours truly

00:46:20.240 got arrested for

00:46:21.640 well God knows what

00:46:23.200 check it out

00:46:23.820 put your phone down

00:46:24.480 put your hand behind

00:46:25.660 your back

00:46:26.000 put your hand behind

00:46:26.980 your back

00:46:27.360 by the way

00:46:28.240 we defeated those

00:46:29.380 two bogus charges

00:46:30.520 in court

00:46:31.100 the first one was

00:46:32.540 obstruct police

00:46:33.700 and the second one

00:46:35.100 was trespass

00:46:36.720 that's right

00:46:37.260 the police trespassed

00:46:38.940 a journalist

00:46:39.920 in the public square

00:46:41.760 doing journalism

00:46:43.300 incredible

00:46:44.380 in any event

00:46:45.840 we're going to see

00:46:47.040 how this day plays out

00:46:48.440 we're going to see

00:46:49.400 what kind of

00:46:49.980 shenanigans ensue

00:46:51.280 there is a considerable

00:46:52.880 police presence

00:46:54.000 anyways we're going to see

00:46:55.260 how this plays out

00:46:56.360 today

00:46:56.760 and

00:46:57.820 I can tell you

00:46:59.020 as per usual

00:47:01.000 there are some things

00:47:02.680 you notice

00:47:03.320 about the two

00:47:04.100 dueling demonstrations

00:47:05.200 the pro-israel camp

00:47:07.800 they do not chant

00:47:09.080 for genocide

00:47:09.960 or death

00:47:10.640 the pro-israel camp

00:47:12.820 has Canadian flags

00:47:14.780 on their sign

00:47:15.460 you won't see

00:47:16.100 one single

00:47:16.980 Canadian flag here

00:47:18.360 for who knows why

00:47:20.080 and also

00:47:21.600 you will see

00:47:22.420 so many people

00:47:23.420 like this gentleman

00:47:24.360 in front of me

00:47:25.080 who has completely

00:47:27.100 concealed

00:47:27.980 his identity

00:47:29.060 now

00:47:29.440 why would that be

00:47:30.680 in any event

00:47:31.580 let's wade into the mob

00:47:33.140 and try to make sense

00:47:34.240 of it all

00:47:34.680 your hands

00:47:36.380 and the aircraft

00:47:39.540 he cannot

00:47:40.200 pour you

00:47:42.200 in any event

00:47:43.400 you have

00:47:43.820 the北

00:47:44.580 your clark

00:47:45.500 and the

00:47:46.660 guerre

00:47:47.740 for me

00:47:47.780 through the

00:47:48.820 welcome

00:47:48.960 near you

00:47:49.820 in any event

00:47:52.360 here

00:47:53.200 Well, folks, I'm with Esser, and she is wearing this signage, Tal Shoham. 0.77

00:48:08.540 He's a kidnap victim from October 7th of last year.

00:48:12.220 And Esser, you have a personal connection with this kidnap victim, don't you?

00:48:18.060 Yes, I do.

00:48:19.260 This is a very, very sad story.

00:48:23.200 Tal was on vacation in Béry when the attack occurred.

00:48:27.760 All his family from Béry were kidnapped, and him and his family who were visiting there.

00:48:33.480 A number of them were killed, including his father.

00:48:37.320 There were about three or four from the family that were killed.

00:48:42.900 The rest of them were kidnapped.

00:48:44.880 They've all been returned, including Tal's wife and children.

00:48:48.740 They were part of the exchange last time.

00:48:51.260 Tal is the only family member that's still in Gaza.

00:48:54.860 We don't know how he's doing because we just don't know.

00:48:59.160 So I'm a Lebanese person, and I stand with Israel.

00:49:02.140 I want the world to know that not all Lebanese people are with Palestine, and I want people

00:49:10.060 to know that the Palestinians and the Syrians have massacred Lebanese people in Lebanon.

00:49:14.420 Cowards that don't show their faces, that aren't Canadian, they want to destroy all of our values. 1.00

00:49:23.400 Well, folks, I'm with Carol, and Carol told me off camera her father is a Holocaust survivor.

00:49:31.780 He's going to turn 95 on Thursday.

00:49:35.740 You know, Carol, what does your father say about this?

00:49:39.300 I mean, we're not even a century removed from the Holocaust, and I would imagine people living 1.00

00:49:48.160 in a country like Canada, they would never have dreamed to see chants for the genocide

00:49:54.040 of the Jewish people.

00:49:55.500 But here we are.

00:49:56.980 What does your father say about this?

00:49:58.560 It's unbelievable.

00:50:00.880 It's totally unbelievable for his kids and grandchild as well, because we've heard all

00:50:07.020 the horrible stories.

00:50:08.580 He was in four concentration camps, was started out in Birkenau, and actually he was in, he

00:50:17.180 was actually chosen to go into the gas chamber by Mengele, and he, by some miracle, he was in

00:50:24.520 the gas chamber, undressed, and it was on Yom Kippur, the door opened, and the Germans needed 13 men to

00:50:32.000 work, and my father was one of them.

00:50:34.000 Wow.

00:50:34.220 Yeah, he spoke Yiddish, so he understood the German.

00:50:37.420 It was a miracle.

00:50:38.720 So he survived four death camps and the death march.

00:50:43.180 Well, folks, I'm with Renat, and she is the person who has rented this jumbotron-equipped truck,

00:50:50.420 similar to ours.

00:50:51.480 And so, Renat, what, I guess, motivated you to bring this truck to this demonstration today?

00:50:58.260 Okay.

00:50:58.740 Thank you so much for having us on with you guys, and my girlfriends are here with me.

00:51:03.260 I've got a lot of crew with me.

00:51:05.220 We're in the fashion business, and we felt after October the 7th that people were not speaking

00:51:12.120 out in the industry.

00:51:14.520 I, myself, am a stylist.

00:51:16.020 I took it into my professional hands to do a photo shoot.

00:51:21.500 I had my family come in from Israel.

00:51:24.760 They stood with us.

00:51:26.260 The photos are with them.

00:51:27.880 They're with a diverse group of people.

00:51:30.220 So what I'm trying to explain to the public and what I'm trying to explain to our community

00:51:35.640 is it's not just about the Jewish people.

00:51:38.940 I'm with Aaron Adeda, and Aaron, try to make sense of this for me.

00:51:43.640 Once again, we see about, I don't know, a dozen police officers interrogating somebody who was

00:51:49.300 on the pro-Israel side across the street.

00:51:52.540 That crowd is chanting genocide, but nothing to see here, folks.

00:51:57.060 Move on.

00:51:57.500 And what do you make of it?

00:51:59.100 Well, we've been coming here for over 55 weeks peacefully, without incident, without issues.

00:52:05.260 They decided that they were going to come and disrupt that to do exactly this, to look

00:52:10.320 for any opportunity to have somebody arrested or detained or questioned or whatever.

00:52:17.040 This is what they came to do.

00:52:19.380 And we're not having it because nobody on this side has done anything in over 55 weeks.

00:52:26.000 Why would they start today?

00:52:28.920 Sir, can you tell me why they've arrested you?

00:52:31.940 How come the other guy never gets arrested?

00:52:35.160 Back up.

00:52:35.860 I'm not.

00:52:36.100 Why is he?

00:52:37.560 Well, see, I'm not in the way of the police car, officer.

00:52:41.980 Then move back.

00:52:43.240 Well, I am back.

00:52:44.480 It's a, it's a, can you tell me why he's being arrested?

00:52:48.620 Are you the man under arrest?

00:52:49.720 No, I can't.

00:52:50.820 Okay.

00:52:51.420 Lawyer?

00:52:51.960 No.

00:52:52.360 Okay.

00:52:52.740 No, I can't.

00:52:53.560 Okay.

00:52:54.280 Well, that's very helpful.

00:52:56.000 Why, let me ask you this then.

00:52:59.720 Why are you turning a blind eye to people chanting genocide across the street, officer?

00:53:04.600 You have to speak to Corp.com about that.

00:53:06.300 Have a nice day.

00:53:07.400 Speak to who?

00:53:08.240 Corp.com.

00:53:09.140 Corp.com.

00:53:10.780 It'd be nice if they returned my emails.

00:53:12.920 But they don't.

00:53:13.600 Why are they allowed to wear masks?

00:53:14.860 Why are they allowed to wear masks?

00:53:16.500 Period.

00:53:16.820 All committing crimes.

00:53:17.440 What's your answer to that question, officer?

00:53:19.760 All committing indictable offenses.

00:53:21.360 It's illegal for them to wear a mask.

00:53:22.420 That's the whole point here.

00:53:24.340 They're anti-Jews.

00:53:25.760 All of them are anti-Jews.

00:53:27.480 All of them.

00:53:28.600 Well, folks, I'm with the man's wife, Michelle Goldkind.

00:53:32.380 Michelle, why is your husband cuffed in the back of this police SUV?

00:53:36.280 Well, we really don't know much.

00:53:37.660 All we know is that he has been arrested for threatening, I don't know, violence or something.

00:53:45.100 But they haven't told us what exactly.

00:53:46.720 They haven't shown us any videos.

00:53:48.280 The other side has been chanting death to Israel, death to Canada, death to Jews.

00:53:53.140 All kinds of threatening, violent slogans.

00:53:56.600 And my husband is being taken away in cuffs by six policemen.

00:54:01.080 But they won't tell me exactly why, what the allegations are.

00:54:03.560 Well, Michelle, this sounds to me the very definition of two-tier policing.

00:54:07.180 Oh, it's totally, totally two-tiered.

00:54:09.460 It's total double standards, complete double standard.

00:54:11.680 Why is that, sir?

00:54:20.660 Why do you want me on the other side?

00:54:21.900 Because they're keeping separated, okay?

00:54:25.440 But I don't have a dog in the hunt.

00:54:28.160 I'm just covering the news.

00:54:29.520 That's what the police is doing.

00:54:30.200 That's what the police is doing.

00:54:31.580 So do you advise the police, sir?

00:54:34.620 What?

00:54:35.300 Do you advise the police?

00:54:36.460 I don't want to talk to you right now.

00:54:37.740 I don't want to have this interview.

00:54:39.040 But you're telling the police to remove me to the other side.

00:54:44.060 Yeah, well, I think we're under Canadian law, not Sharia law.

00:54:47.360 I do not want to talk to you.

00:54:49.440 Do you like a pin, sir?

00:54:50.440 Do you like a pin?

00:54:51.700 No, thank you.

00:54:52.420 Yeah, grab a pin.

00:54:53.300 Show your support for Palestine.

00:54:54.600 What's that?

00:54:55.060 Show your support for Palestine, sir.

00:54:57.060 Do you have a Remembrance Day poppy?

00:54:58.840 Show your support for Palestine, sir.

00:55:00.120 Why would I do that?

00:55:00.900 Because you're a human being and you have humanity inside you.

00:55:04.080 You don't condone killing and murder.

00:55:06.000 Do you have any poppies there?

00:55:07.200 I'd like to buy a poppy.

00:55:08.200 Here, this is a good one for you.

00:55:09.880 Jews against genocide.

00:55:11.240 No, first of all, I'm not Jewish.

00:55:13.760 Poppy Day is November 11th, sir.

00:55:15.800 You're too soon.

00:55:16.880 Okay, then.

00:55:17.600 You don't even know when it is.

00:55:19.040 Oh, I see.

00:55:20.280 Will you be wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day?

00:55:23.780 I always go to City Hall.

00:55:25.620 Yeah, I go to City Hall.

00:55:26.900 Yeah, okay, then.

00:55:28.400 I'm here to protect you.

00:55:29.400 Oh, that's okay.

00:55:32.400 They're trying to afford it.

00:55:33.280 Look at that.

00:55:34.000 Hey, she'll just hit you with that stick. 1.00

00:55:36.740 Oh, I'm used to it.

00:55:39.020 So.

00:55:39.960 Careful, okay?

00:55:40.840 Fear me.

00:55:41.620 Hi, sir.

00:55:42.080 Why have you disguised yourself?

00:55:43.400 I don't know.

00:55:43.680 I don't know.

00:55:45.840 You don't know?

00:55:46.500 I said be careful.

00:55:47.740 I said be careful.

00:55:49.800 Free, free, Palestine.

00:55:51.680 Is this a Halloween costume you're wearing?

00:55:53.400 Free, Palestine.

00:55:54.560 I think you're four days early.

00:55:55.980 Free, free, Palestine.

00:55:57.480 Can you say anything other than that?

00:55:58.980 Free, free, Palestine.

00:56:00.220 Stop and go on the other side.

00:56:01.500 Pardon?

00:56:02.100 Stop and go on the other side.

00:56:03.540 Free, Palestine.

00:56:04.220 Leave us alone.

00:56:05.180 I'm on a public street, sir.

00:56:07.560 Ask the police, ask everybody to be on different sides.

00:56:10.880 I'm a member of the media, so I can be on a public...

00:56:13.860 You're here trying to provoke us.

00:56:16.280 Why don't you just walk away?

00:56:17.640 Just don't, okay, just don't talk to us.

00:56:19.620 Don't talk to us.

00:56:20.400 You walk away.

00:56:21.480 You speak, you speak for everybody here?

00:56:23.460 No one here wants to talk to you.

00:56:25.380 No one here wants to talk to you.

00:56:27.340 I thought we were under Canadian law, not Sharia law.

00:56:31.820 That's the Canadian law.

00:56:32.540 That's the Canadian law.

00:56:33.820 The police officers are asking everybody to be separated.

00:56:38.120 They haven't asked me, sir.

00:56:40.000 Well, not yet.

00:56:41.100 Not yet.

00:56:42.460 Not yet.

00:56:43.220 But get that mic out of my face. 1.00

00:56:44.860 Just walk away.

00:56:45.900 No, I'm standing on my ground.

00:56:47.680 Get that mic out of my face. 0.99

00:56:48.840 Don't touch the mic.

00:56:49.780 Put that mic out of my face.

00:56:51.280 Don't touch it.

00:56:52.100 You put that mic in my face.

00:56:53.560 Get that mic out of my face. 0.99

00:56:55.120 Hey.

00:56:56.700 Get that mic out of my face. 0.99

00:56:58.360 That's assault.

00:56:59.560 Did you get that?

00:57:00.180 Get that mic out of my face. 0.99

00:57:01.440 Get that mic out of my face. 0.99

00:57:03.940 Officer, why don't you...

00:57:05.620 Why don't we...

00:57:06.420 Huh?

00:57:07.000 Officer, are we under Canadian law or Sharia law right now?

00:57:11.040 You saw...

00:57:11.560 Hey, that's the second assault today.

00:57:14.040 That's the second assault.

00:57:16.680 Huh?

00:57:17.100 No.

00:57:18.200 Going now.

00:57:19.360 Why?

00:57:20.580 Am I not allowed to practice journalism?

00:57:23.440 So, because they don't want me here?

00:57:25.760 You bend the knee to them?

00:57:27.260 I need my mic flash.

00:57:29.120 Do you have it?

00:57:30.560 He damaged my microphone.

00:57:33.580 Hey, hey, where the fuck is your sergeant at?

00:57:35.980 He's not supposed to be here.

00:57:37.220 Why are you taking orders from these thugs, officer?

00:57:39.580 When I was there, I got pushed by the sergeant.

00:57:41.780 So now this guy has to be over there.

00:57:43.460 So if you...

00:57:44.100 I'm not a member of the demonstration.

00:57:46.500 Stop putting that mic on my face.

00:57:48.140 Stop putting that mic on my face.

00:57:49.560 Stop putting that mic on my face.

00:57:51.960 Why?

00:57:52.820 Because I want to keep the peace here.

00:57:54.640 So you need to come back across.

00:57:55.520 I need my mic flash.

00:57:56.520 That's fine.

00:57:57.760 Why don't you uphold your oath, officer?

00:58:00.120 I'm practicing journalism on a public street.

00:58:02.540 I'm not giving an interview.

00:58:03.480 I just want to keep the peace.

00:58:04.760 I want to keep you safe.

00:58:06.140 Right?

00:58:06.360 Keep me safe?

00:58:07.200 Yeah.

00:58:07.540 Well, obviously it was...

00:58:08.420 You're armed.

00:58:09.360 You can, you know...

00:58:10.280 You just head back over here.

00:58:11.300 I appreciate it.

00:58:12.100 Thank you.

00:58:12.360 Unbelievable.

00:58:13.420 Again, folks, they are bending the knee to the mob.

00:58:19.060 You can see my mic was damaged when he reached out to it.

00:58:23.660 I'm still waiting for my mic flash.

00:58:25.960 Do you know where it is?

00:58:26.660 Do you know who has it?

00:58:27.320 It's on video.

00:58:35.900 So, folks, to prove the point of two-tier policing, we were once again assaulted.

00:58:42.580 My microphone was damaged.

00:58:44.440 And to compound things, one of the members of the Hitler Youth Movement stole my mic flash.

00:58:52.980 So, we have assault.

00:58:54.180 We have property damage.

00:58:55.360 We have theft.

00:58:56.380 And the response by the police is for me to get across the street.

00:59:02.060 Why are you taking orders from these thugs, officer?

00:59:04.400 When I was there, I got pushed by the sergeant.

00:59:06.600 So, now this guy has to be over there.

00:59:08.820 I'm not a member of the demonstration.

00:59:11.340 Stop putting that mic on my face.

00:59:12.980 Stop putting that mic in my face.

00:59:14.720 Stop putting that mic in my face.

00:59:17.000 Why?

00:59:17.280 Because I'm in a public place right there.

00:59:22.820 I'm practicing public journalism in the public interest.

00:59:26.580 But clearly, the city of my birth and the Dominion of Canada, we are under Sharia law, not Canadian law anymore.

00:59:35.080 We've got the members of the Toronto Police Service acting like the Gestapo in some Islamic republic.

00:59:43.160 The rally that's going on is in solidarity.

00:59:46.820 But the protest behind us on the other side is about hate.

00:59:51.680 And we need to stop hate.

00:59:54.540 We need to stop anti-Semitism in the city of Toronto.

00:59:58.280 The mayor has to do something.

00:59:59.840 The government has to do something.

01:00:01.640 And our people have to stand up for our rights.

01:00:06.220 Media and the leftist universities have been hijacked by the leftists.

01:00:13.500 And we need to take back civil society.

01:00:17.120 And the ability to think clearly and critically and know what is evil and what is good and justice.

01:00:27.180 Rebel News is on the forefront of doing that.

01:00:31.280 And many other media that are similar to Rebel.

01:00:34.820 I support you 100%.

01:00:37.800 I really think that the people across the street are made up of all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds.

01:00:46.020 And there are those amongst those demonstrators who know what we're going through.

01:00:51.660 But they've been so brainwashed that they don't understand and they don't get it.

01:00:57.120 But I thoroughly believe that there are people on, quote, quote, the other side that want peace with us.

01:01:07.460 That would die.

01:01:08.500 They would love it.

01:01:10.500 You know, it's a matter of talking.

01:01:12.800 It's a matter of sitting down and talking.

01:01:14.580 Because they're being led by some, I don't know, people who we call, they're worse than animals, you know.

01:01:24.500 And that's what they see all the time.

01:01:27.580 They can't help but puppet it.

01:01:29.660 But cooler minds can sit down and work this thing out that's been around for so long.

01:01:36.260 I hope to God, God help us, Am Yisrael Chai, that everyone sit down and work this out.

01:01:42.040 It'll take a couple of generations because hate doesn't disappear overnight.

01:01:46.840 It'll take generations.

01:01:48.280 But we have to start somewhere.

01:01:50.360 They came for a confrontation.

01:01:52.200 They come for violence.

01:01:54.000 The pro-Hamas crowd are chanting genocide from the river to the sea.

01:01:59.120 All their rhetoric, all their BS.

01:02:01.780 And at the end of the day, we know who they are.

01:02:04.160 We know exactly why they're here.

01:02:06.240 And unfortunately, you know, the police, I guess, are trying to do the best they can.

01:02:10.480 But they should not have allowed them to come at all.

01:02:14.220 They should not be here whatsoever.

01:02:16.600 What do you have to say?

01:02:17.620 If you had the ear of Mayor Olivia Chow, of Police Chief Myron Demke, what would you tell them?

01:02:24.000 Where were you on October 7th to memorialize the 1,200 Jews, including Canadians, that were killed?

01:02:30.820 Why is it you're able to show up for a Halloween costume party for kids,

01:02:34.040 but you can't show up to support the Jewish people of Canada?

01:02:36.620 Canada has lost its senses.

01:02:39.500 We had COVID, and now we have a mental disease called anti-Semitism.

01:02:44.100 And the bottom line is it's not fashionable to be anti-Semitic.

01:02:48.800 I just want to thank Rebel News and all that you do for us.

01:02:52.180 We really need a voice against all of these disgusting monsters

01:02:57.000 who have nothing better to do than to make a country better.

01:03:00.800 We're only 2% of the world population. It's unbelievable.

01:03:05.300 Thank you for all the work that you do for us.

01:03:08.180 This is not the Canada that we grew up in, nor is it the Canada that we want to stay in.

01:03:13.140 And there's no future in a Canada with two-tier policing and unfairness.

01:03:18.280 And it's just, it's ridiculous.

01:03:19.980 They want death not just to Jews, Jews to Canadians, Jews to Americans. 0.90

01:03:24.900 Anybody that's not part of their antifada and part of Islam, they want dead. 1.00

01:03:28.940 They're going to destroy our country and the world if we don't take action together.

01:03:32.680 What did you make, a man, of Mayor Chow snubbing the one-year vigil for the...

01:03:37.200 Disgusting. Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

01:03:40.960 How does this play out? How long is this going to go on for?

01:03:43.760 And how long are our politicians and our police force going to tolerate this?

01:03:49.980 When Justin Trudeau leaves this office, things are going to change.

01:03:56.280 And we need to see change today. And change is coming soon.

01:04:00.860 They don't support Canada. And as far as I'm concerned, if you don't support Canada,

01:04:03.700 you're not proud to be Canadian, get out. Leave. Go back to where you came from. 1.00

01:04:07.640 They're stepping on Israeli flags. They're burning Canadian flags.

01:04:10.760 They're burning American flags. Like, how disrespectful is that?

01:04:13.560 If you live in this country, be proud to be Canadian.

01:04:16.020 We have lots of flags, Canadian flags, not just Israeli flags,

01:04:19.660 and American flags as well, because we are peace-loving people.

01:04:22.260 And really, the reality is, they've covered their faces.

01:04:25.500 We don't know who they are. And we have our faces exposed.

01:04:30.080 We are exposed. We're saying to you, we are living here in Toronto.

01:04:35.800 Aside from what's going on in Israel right now,

01:04:38.400 we must stand here and fight anti-Semitism in Toronto,

01:04:42.680 in New York, in Chicago, in Montreal, global.

01:04:46.980 And that's what has to happen.

01:04:51.400 And folks, I should add, we're not here just to report the news.

01:04:55.400 We brought along our beautiful Rebel News truck.

01:04:59.780 Behind me, it is showing the message, bring them home.

01:05:03.440 That would be the kidnap victims of October 7th, 2023.

01:05:08.880 And if I can make an appeal to you,

01:05:11.720 can you go to StandWithIsrael.com?

01:05:15.480 That's StandWithIsrael.com.

01:05:17.940 And if you're able to, kindly make a donation

01:05:20.840 so that we can keep our beautiful truck on the road.

01:05:25.120 Well, it's Monday night, and Tommy Robinson is in Belmarsh Prison,

01:05:38.240 the toughest prison in all the United Kingdom.

01:05:40.880 And he'll be there for nine months.

01:05:43.140 They're trying to break him and trying to break his movement.

01:05:46.460 Nine months in that prison, solitary confinement,

01:05:49.360 would be enough to break many men.

01:05:51.480 Tommy's done it before, not quite nine months in solitary.

01:05:54.280 That's too much.

01:05:55.540 That's practically torture.

01:05:57.560 But I'm sure with the support of people

01:05:59.400 and many visitors and friends, we'll get through it.

01:06:03.620 From downtown London, for Rebel News,

01:06:06.340 this is Ezra Levant saying,

01:06:08.520 keep fighting for freedom while you still have it.

01:06:24.280 everybody you are.

01:06:25.840 Let's pray to them.

01:06:27.580 Yep.

01:06:27.800 Thank you, God.

01:06:28.720 If that's Schweyn to the right that you're feeling or not,

01:06:29.180 any longer not,

01:06:29.800 let's bring up the欠 Chan.

01:06:30.620 In the key of that,

01:06:31.580 that matter,

01:06:32.360 it's 않아.
