No other journalist in Canada is even being arrested once this year. We ll talk about it and what it means. Ezra LeVant's full interview with David Menzies on The Ezra Levin Show with Alex Blumberg.
00:02:43.140You can tell he's been thinking about these things for four years, including excellent appointments in his White House staff, which is the most important thing at all.
00:02:51.820And he invited enemies into his bosom last time that undermined him.
00:02:57.060I don't know his chief of staff, but I see one of his deputy chiefs of staff is the outstanding Stephen Miller, who was so sharp on immigration.
00:03:08.320Here's just a taste of Stephen Miller, just a reminder of who he is.
00:03:11.880I loved watching him just nuke pundits on TV.
00:03:15.520But, of course, his value was much higher than that of a pundit.
00:03:18.300His value was in the White House making decisions.
00:03:22.880I want you to think for a minute about the decades of abuse that has been heaped upon the good people of this nation, their jobs looted and stolen from them and shipped to Mexico, Asia and foreign countries, the lives of their loved ones ripped away from them by illegal aliens, criminal gangs and thugs who don't belong in this country.
00:05:04.340Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, what are you going to say to Trump on Wednesday?
00:05:25.800Mr. President, what are you going to talk with Trump on Wednesday?
00:05:28.720Yeah, I mean, I wonder what interactions Kamala Harris has with Joe Biden or Joe Biden, what do you call it, a regent, Jill Biden, who I think makes most of the decisions.
00:05:40.640I wouldn't be surprised if they're not even talking at all.
00:05:44.240I mean, what an atrocious thing happened there.
00:05:46.260She stabbed him in the back, had a goo, and she blew it.
00:06:02.720And in Canada, too, I have a sense of optimism.
00:06:05.920I think people are just ready for that next election.
00:06:09.160Justin Trudeau is going to try and do some atrocious things in the meantime.
00:06:13.280He'll get some of them through, but I think there's a growing opposition and inertia, even within his own party, although I think most of them realize that they're done.
00:06:22.200I like to see some of the premiers standing up to Justin Trudeau.
00:06:26.540And by that, I primarily mean Danielle Smith.
00:06:29.160But it was encouraging to see John Rustad play so closely in British Columbia.
00:08:18.180They've had mass immigration for a long time.
00:08:19.980And I don't know if that egg can be unscrambled.
00:08:23.340And the reason I emphasize that before giving my thoughts on the state of the world is because what happened in Amsterdam last week and again today happened by people who didn't really have any weapons on them.
00:09:41.400And every single week since October 7th, there was a group of local Jews who would gather on the sidewalk.
00:09:46.680And for one hour, they would wave Israeli and Canadian flags standing on the sidewalk being positive and patriotic.
00:09:52.460They would have signs saying, give the hostages back.
00:09:55.440And people would drive by and typically go Hong Kong because it's a Jewish neighborhood.
00:09:59.520And that was going on every week for a year.
00:10:02.020And then suddenly, foreign nationals, not Canadians, professional anti-Semites started showing up and heckling and engaging and bringing terrorist flags and shouting and bringing swastikas and threatening.
00:10:18.320And now every single Saturday, dozens of pro-Hamas thugs, I'm going to call them gang members, are brought into the heart of this Jewish neighborhood to antagonize the Jews.
00:10:32.080Could you imagine if a group of, let's say, Proud Boys, if there even is such a thing, went into the heart of a Muslim neighborhood and had an obscene, profanity-laden protest outside a Muslim community center every single week?
00:10:49.760What do you think the police would do?
00:10:51.680Well, in this case, they escort the pro-Hamas protesters.
00:10:56.680It reminds me of what they did in another Jewish neighborhood called Armor Heights.
00:11:00.820When these same thugs, literally the same people, blocked a street into a residential area, it was sort of a bridge.
00:11:08.020There was only two ways into this community.
00:11:10.900And these Muslim pro-Hamas thugs blocked it.
00:11:15.460There was no embassy there, no offices.
00:19:44.180When you went to the police station, we'll talk in just a hot minute about your arrest, the bizarre handcuffs, the threatened charge, the charge didn't materialize, our lawyer getting right on this case.
00:19:57.180I'm very proud of how we handled it legally.
00:19:59.180I was out of town, so I couldn't attend immediately, but I'm glad things worked out.
00:20:03.180But when you were at the police station, just give me a second on that.
00:20:06.180I think you might have caught it on tape.
00:20:08.180One of the Hamas thugs went to the police station.
00:23:39.180And it turns out that the police had human intelligence on the inside.
00:23:42.180I forget the name of the particular turncoat, but there was a Muslim activist who for hundreds of thousands of dollars, he was paid literally hundreds of thousands of dollars by the RCMP to give names of his fellow Muslim activists to the cops.
00:24:00.180And he was an informant, is what I'm saying.
00:24:07.180And we know for a fact that CSIS has all sorts of elements and agents and human intelligence.
00:26:10.180In this case, you have the actual Nazi leaders in Canada, my theory is, working for the government.
00:26:19.180And in return for keeping an eye peeled for catastrophic terrorists, the police turn a blind eye to, you know, about 10 different species of lower level crimes.
00:26:31.180And so we have normalized those lower level crimes.
00:26:45.180Section 176, I believe it is, besetting a religious place.
00:26:50.180So the police, I think, have cut a deal where they allow these Hamas operatives, many of whom are paid by Iran, where they let them do their thing without being molested by the law.
00:27:03.180And my theory is he was going to the cop shop afterwards for a debrief.
00:27:25.180Why is he happily going to the cop shop afterwards?
00:27:28.180Why are the cops doing his bidding and arresting you?
00:27:31.180Why are the cops not arresting him and his thugs?
00:27:33.180Tell me another theory that makes sense.
00:27:35.180The only thing I can think of, well, not as this case, you know, in specific, Ezra, but, you know, earlier this year, Prime Minister Trudeau had a, well, confidential meeting with Toronto Police Chief Myron Demke.
00:27:55.180And so what was said, Ezra, and here's my theory, and I have no proof.
00:27:59.180I'm going to say that right out there, so it's just a theory.
00:28:02.180I'm thinking, Trudeau said, listen, in about a year, we've got an election coming up.
00:28:06.180There's five times as many Muslims as there are Jews in Canada.
00:28:11.180And by the way, by that, I'm not saying that all Muslims go along with the rubbish we see at Bathurst and Shepherd every Sunday now.
00:28:18.180So, can you go easy on the pro-Hamas folk?
00:28:22.180And by the way, if there are peaceful counter-demonstrators, Salman Sima of the Persian community, he's been arrested before for the odious crime of waving a Canadian flag.
00:28:32.180If there are any members of the independent media asking impolite questions, i.e. rebel news, throw the book at them.
00:28:40.180I, in my heart of hearts, I think that might have been the nature of that conversation because why the hell is Trudeau talking or lecturing Demke in the first place?
00:28:50.180Yeah. There's a lot of dark things going on here.
00:28:53.180And I started our show today by talking about what I saw in Amsterdam.
00:28:58.180And, you know, I always say I go to the United Kingdom and I go to Europe because it's a dystopian time machine where I can see five years into our future if we don't change things.
00:29:08.180And what's happened, these gangs, I call them gangs, these pro-Hamas gangs, have normalized anti-Semitism, have normalized fear on the streets, have normalized low-level crime.
00:29:45.180They're falsely claiming to be refugees.
00:29:47.180They're falsely claiming to be students.
00:29:49.180They're falsely claiming to be temporary foreign workers.
00:29:51.180As we know, 700 of them are on Iran's payroll.
00:29:55.180And we have allowed these people to sow seeds of hate.
00:29:58.180And those seeds are starting to bloom.
00:30:00.180And I blame Trudeau, of course, but I also blame the premier of Ontario and other premiers, the premier of Quebec, the mayor of many of these cities.
00:30:10.180And it's for the same reason you said before.
00:33:33.180If there's racism, there's no justice.
00:33:35.180There is no justice, we need to have equality between people, we need to respect the religions and especially the Muslims, because Muslims are not respected here.
00:33:47.180They are like terrorists, we are not terrorists.
00:33:51.180Do you want to condemn the young Muslims who revolt against violence?
00:34:01.180I condemn people, everyone is responsible for their actions.
00:34:09.180Have you seen a message for President Macron?
00:34:14.180I have no message for Macron, I have only one message.
00:35:08.180And what's happening at Bathurst and Shepherd is of larger interest than just people who live in Bathurst and Shepherd or Toronto or Ontario.
00:35:18.180It is a template for what will happen.
00:35:21.180The rule of law will not be given to Jews or journalists.
00:35:26.180The law will be bent for political reasons or reasons of intrigue that we don't know about.
00:35:54.180One is, I think you're off on the timeline that we're maybe five years away, which is to say, if a national Israeli soccer team flew from Tel Aviv to Toronto and they had a friendly with Team Canada BMO field here in Toronto.
00:36:07.180Are you telling me that the pro Hamas hooligans are not going down to BMO and looking for the members of the team, their supporters?
00:36:20.180Secondly, with mass immigration and the type of immigrants we're getting, I think what we've seen in the past year in the streets of our once great dominion is how official multiculturalism has been a failure.
00:36:34.180And I even see people on the left saying that.
00:36:37.180It used to be you can come anywhere in the world to Canada.
00:36:57.180And it's not just with the Hamas situation in Brampton, you know, sneaky Patrick Brown City.
00:37:04.180You're having showdowns of Sikhs versus Hindus on a continual basis.
00:37:10.180Now, I think the unspoken quid pro quo of come here and pursue our dream, but behave and don't import age old feuds.
00:37:22.180I think it's been a failure and the proof is in the pudding in the streets every weekend as well.
00:37:27.180Charles de Gaulle, the French leader, French chauvinist, I would say, the personification of so many French things, he was asked, can a foreigner ever become a Frenchman?
00:37:41.180And he said, yes, in small numbers over time, because you have to be completely soaked in Frenchness.
00:39:20.180There were two Jews, me and my sister, two black kids, and two Chinese kids, and two Sikh kids.
00:39:26.180And so you had to, as a Jew, as a black, as a Sikh, as a Chinese, you had to fit in.
00:39:34.180You had to become, you couldn't say, I'm not going to learn the language.
00:39:38.180I mean, my family came over in 1903, so I knew the language.
00:39:41.180I don't know any other language, actually.
00:39:43.180But if you are being absorbed into the system, there's no two ways about it.
00:39:49.180Like Irving Berlin, you better learn English quick, or you're not going to survive.
00:39:52.180You better make friends with the indigenous people, or the local people, or the people who predate you pretty quick, or you're not going to have any friends.
00:40:00.180But when you bring in, Trudeau's been bringing in two million people a year.
00:40:05.180You bring in a country of 40 million people, you bring in two million people a year, you can't assimilate, integrate.
00:41:27.180Oh, I think they get this from U.S. crime drama, you know, on TV.
00:41:31.180So they literally, like, there was, that's not even, there's, like, I can understand why someone might say, well, handcuff them to be sure.
00:42:00.180Not that I let it get under my skin, but they had no choice but to bring me to the station because they literally, no matter which key they use, could not open the cuff.
00:42:35.180That kind of mortified me because I wouldn't like to, you know, think that I'm the result of, you know, there being a lack of bodies to put out an actual fire.
00:44:17.180Which is why, for example, prison rape and prison violence is illegal and it's to the discredit of the state.
00:44:25.180And that's why when the state puts male to female transgender criminals in with female convicts, it's so outrageous because those women can't protect themselves in prison and the state refuses to.
00:44:38.180So when you're handcuffed, even if it was an accident and a mistake, and I'm skeptical of that, what they did to you with their stupid buffoonery and these handcuffs and the clown show, that's on them.
00:46:58.180Because they're afraid and they're cowards and they're thinking maybe if we suck up to him, he'll listen to us.
00:47:03.180No, see this police chief, just like the politicians, responds to what's the path of least resistance.
00:47:11.180If he allows an anti-Semitic crime wave for a year and the Jews give him an honorary dinner, whereas if he were to crack down on these pro-Hamas thugs, he's worried he might have an Amsterdam on his hands.
00:47:25.180He's going to arrest the Jews and critical journalists every time.
00:47:30.180And those damn fool official Jews honoring the police chief who's presiding over this slow motion Kristallnacht is a disgrace.
00:47:38.180And Ezra, I want to say something, too, because a lot of apologists will say, well, if there's hundreds, if there's thousands of these Hamas people, it's more important to keep the peace, which really means don't enforce the law.
00:47:50.180But at that intersection of Shepherd Avenue West and Bathurst Street, on the four weeks the pro-Hamas people have come there, clearly trying to start trouble up.
00:48:02.180There's thousands of intersections they can go to to chant the genocide, but they go there to bait the Jewish people and the Israel fans, and they don't take it.
00:48:12.180The thing is, is that there are more people at one of the protests, I estimated it was a 40 to one ratio in terms of the pro-Israel versus the pro-Hamas thing.
00:48:53.180In fact, what we saw a couple of weeks ago is the cops going into the pro-Israel section on behalf of the Hamas demonstrators, Ezra, because allegedly one of the demonstrators did the slash mark.
00:49:07.180And what do you know, eight officers took to arrest this guy, again, handcuffed behind the back, in a cruiser, down to 32 Division, while they're chanting genocide and displaying swastikas.
00:49:22.180I'm disgusted with the Toronto police.
00:49:24.180I know the decisions are likely being made at a higher level than the beat cops, but after a point, you know, it's just like during COVID times.
00:49:34.180There were brutal cops who that was their time to shine, you know, mask enforcement, six foot of separation BS.
00:49:41.180Well, David, we're going to continue to defend you.
00:49:44.180If folks want to help, go to standwithdavid.com.
00:49:47.180We have beaten every single charge against you so far for obvious reasons.
00:50:01.180In the meantime, they've inflicted this on you.
00:50:04.180They see you every time, and they want to arrest you every time.
00:50:07.180They see the pro-Hamas thugs every time, and they do favors for them every time.
00:50:11.180And the fact that you saw this pro-Hamas leader go to the police station by chance a couple hours after tells me that my theory that they're working together.
00:50:20.180The police and the pro-Hamas thugs are working together just like they had because it's an informant situation, and the police have made the decision that they will use the Jewish community as a sacrifice zone.
00:50:31.180They will allow Nazi-style, Kristallach-style rallies in this city in the hopes that these ringleaders will hand over deadly terrorist bombers before they pull the trigger, instead of just deporting every goddamn one of them, which is the right answer.
00:50:47.180A hundred percent, Ezra, and our audience can go to DeportHamas.com for that petition.
00:50:52.180And I just want to say I'm very fortunate to have someone of your caliber as my boss.
00:50:58.180I'm very fortunate to have the Rebel News viewers who contribute to these causes, such as Stand With David.
00:51:05.180Because here's one other sidebar element before we wrap, Ezra.
00:51:10.180Unless you and our audience stand with me, when I look out to who the allies should be for a freedom of speech, freedom of the press issue, I'm talking about the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Penn Canada, the mainstream media, with the exceptions of Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun, and I wouldn't call AM 960 in Mississauga.
00:51:41.180Those are the only three journalists on record that have said something that this is outrageous.
00:51:46.180So just as we need our viewers to make us function, because we don't take Trudeau's media welfare money, we need their support on this behalf, because nobody in the establishment, in the mainstream, is coming to our defense.
00:52:03.180When you think even if they hate us, Ezra, they should.
00:52:43.180We sent a few more reporters and they were harassed.
00:52:45.180And then later we sent 17 reporters and we had a bit of a showdown.
00:52:49.180Maybe we need a mass deployment of rebel reporters at the intersection of Bathurst and Shepherd because I am not willing to concede one inch of the public sidewalk to Hamas thugs or their allies in the Toronto Police Force.
00:53:01.180I got to put my thinking cap on that a bit.
00:53:03.180But my instinct is not to bend the knee.
