00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. I want to take you through the latest with the attempts to end the Ukraine-Russia
00:00:07.120 war. And I'm going to show you some clips from Donald Trump today when he was meeting
00:00:11.520 with Emmanuel Macron of France. I'm going to show you what Justin Trudeau had to say.
00:00:17.880 I don't know. I'll give you my thoughts on the war and what victory means and what peace means.

00:00:45.580 The last time you sat down with your financial advisor, did you have a real conversation?
00:00:50.560 Did they allow you to express all your concerns or did they dismiss them out of hand and give the
00:00:55.780 head office talking points? When it comes to your family's wealth, you need to work with people you
00:01:00.880 can have a real conversation with. People who share your values and won't leave you, won't view you as

00:01:38.060 Tonight, Justin Trudeau only has a couple more weeks as prime minister, but he's decided he might
00:01:57.200 send Canadian troops to Ukraine. It's February 24th and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:02:02.180 He's fighting for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:02:16.680 It's the third anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Donald Trump is correct to focus on the
00:02:23.780 bloodshed. The deadliest and most destructive conflict that one can imagine. I've seen the
00:02:29.280 pictures. I've seen the satellite photos and lots of other photos and it's a horrible thing that's
00:02:34.580 happening. Thousands of people are dying a week. This very day is the third anniversary of the
00:02:40.940 invasion of Ukraine, which would never have happened if I was president. That was not going to happen.
00:02:47.060 The horrors of this gruesome and bloody war can scarcely be overestimated. Hundreds of thousands of people,
00:02:53.860 Russians and Ukrainians in particular, have needlessly died. An entire generation of Ukrainians and Russian men
00:03:02.900 has been decimated. One thousand year old cities have been turned into rubble. Those beautiful spires
00:03:11.720 that you used to see there, they were most beautiful in the world, they say, are lying in heaps of rubble,
00:03:20.420 blasted to smithereens. And it's time to end this bloodletting and restore peace. And I think we're
00:03:27.880 going to do it. We've had some great conversations, including with Russia. Since my return to the White
00:03:34.080 House, we've made more progress toward that goal in one month than occurred in the past three years.
00:03:40.880 And I've spoken with both President Putin and President Zelensky. And again, a lot of,
00:03:48.360 a lot of good things toward peace are happening, moving it, I think, pretty quickly.
00:03:53.460 Many other NATO country leaders talk about victory, Trudeau included, but they never quite explain
00:04:00.820 what victory means in the case of Ukraine, other than continuing to fight. What would victory look
00:04:08.140 like in Ukraine? Recapturing all of the land Ukraine has lost to Russia in the past three years,
00:04:14.100 or perhaps retaking the Crimea as well. That's land that Russia invaded and annexed in 2014.
00:04:22.060 How would that be done, given that Russia has three times the population and 10 times the artillery?
00:04:29.480 And if things for Russia actually went really wrong, if they were starting to lose,
00:04:34.760 of course, they have nuclear weapons too. How do you have victory if you're a smaller,
00:04:39.700 non-nuclear country against really one of the only nuclear superpowers? I think the key is never
00:04:48.940 actually answering what the word victory means. They just say they're for victory. Now, Trudeau
00:04:56.260 was an expert at that. He had no idea. He has no idea about anything, but he sure was enthusiastic.
00:05:01.900 Yes, it is incredibly hard for Ukraine to continue to stand against a Russian aggression. And let's be
00:05:10.400 honest, it's hard for the democracies around the world who are there to support their citizens,
00:05:16.120 who are investing for the future, who are challenged with a challenging economy around the world,
00:05:21.140 to continue to step up as Canada has with close to $9 billion in aid for Ukraine. But we will,
00:05:28.300 because the cost on Canadians, on our lives, on our world will be so much greater if Putin wins this
00:05:35.860 war, that we will and have to stand every single day until Ukraine wins this war.
00:05:42.740 There's a terrible phrase that some critics of this war have used to describe people in the West
00:05:48.520 with no skin in the game, egging on a conflict that ought to be peacefully resolved. They call it
00:05:54.420 fighting until the last Ukrainian, as in someone else can do the dying. But it's not just critics
00:06:01.580 who say that. Sometimes the advocates of the war, or keeping the war going, I mean, they say it too,
00:06:08.940 more or less. Here's Boris Johnson, the former UK Prime Minister, who said as much, saying it was a
00:06:15.320 proxy war by the West against Russia. He used the word proxy war. Ukraine, they just have to do the
00:06:23.340 fighting. Take a look at this. Nate, let's face it, we're waging a proxy war. We're waging a proxy
00:06:28.460 war, but we're not giving our proxies the ability to do the job. And for years and years now, we've
00:06:37.740 been allowing them to fight with one hand tied behind their backs. And it has been cruel. It has
00:06:46.060 been cruel. And we need now to give them what they need. That's a pretty astonishing thing for Boris
00:06:54.720 Johnson to say. First of all, to call it a proxy war is a kind of confession or admission. A proxy,
00:07:01.760 it means an agent, a delegate, a subordinate, an errand boy. Is that something Vladimir Zelensky
00:07:08.760 would agree with? Is that what Zelensky would say to his own people? That we are proxies for the UK
00:07:15.620 and the US? Our country in this war is for them? I mean, the US was behind it, just like Boris Johnson
00:07:24.920 was when Joe Biden was president. But we saw that on other occasions too. I mean, not just Boris Johnson,
00:07:32.060 here's, I mean, shortly after the invasion in 2022, there was a genuine effort to stop the war.
00:07:37.300 And a peace deal was more or less done. But then Johnson himself was deployed and practically
00:07:43.220 ordered Zelensky to walk away from the deal. And for years, if anyone even mentioned a ceasefire,
00:07:50.460 let alone a permanent peace treaty, the Biden administration would rage against them,
00:07:56.400 essentially vetoing it. Even though it was Ukrainians who were doing the dying,
00:08:01.060 Americans were saying no ceasefire allowed. Here's an example of that. This is from 2023.
00:08:05.440 If, coming out of this meeting, there's some sort of call for a ceasefire, well, that's just going
00:08:10.580 to be unacceptable. Because all that's going to do, Mike, is ratify Russia's conquest to date.
00:08:15.500 All that's going to do is give Mr. Putin more time to refit, retrain, reman, and try to plan for
00:08:22.640 renewed offensives at a time of his choosing. Since then, hundreds of thousands of men have been
00:08:28.400 killed or wounded on both sides. Is Ukraine further ahead than a year ago, than two years ago, than three
00:08:36.060 years ago? More of it is destroyed. Now, they briefly repulsed Russia, but Russia has now moved on
00:08:44.860 inexorably, devouring a few miles here and there every day. The deadliest war in Europe since the
00:08:53.240 Second World War, of course, it's in some ways reminiscent of Stalingrad. Cities just turned to
00:08:58.920 rubble. And did you know there are North Korean troops fighting as mercenaries with Russia? In a way,
00:09:07.400 it has become a third world war. Trump is right when he says about this turning into World War III.
00:09:13.220 This is the right time. It may be the only time. You know, that's a very interesting and horrible
00:09:20.420 situation. And that could evolve into a third world war. We're not going to let that happen.
00:09:25.700 Should have never started, but it did. And what a mess. What a horrible, bloody mess.
00:09:31.140 For three years, there has been no meaningful attempts at peace since that meeting that was
00:09:36.100 scuppered by Boris Johnson. Now Trump wants to end the war. He campaigned on that. He's pretty much said
00:09:42.500 that if it just comes down to it, America will stop funding it and it'll end that way. So can he get a
00:09:47.460 better deal? And that's been sort of a wake-up call for Europe. I've mentioned before a woman
00:09:52.660 named Kaya Kalas. She used to be the Prime Minister of Estonia. Now she's a foreign affairs leader for
00:10:00.340 the European Union. She wasn't really elected by the people, but that's her position. As I mentioned,
00:10:05.380 Estonia has about 1.3 million people in the whole country. It's the size of Calgary, Alberta.
00:10:11.540 Here she is meeting with our own Melanie Jolie. We've got 40 million people, but not much more
00:10:17.620 of an army than Estonia has, I'm afraid. That's the thing. You can play dress up all you like,
00:10:25.380 but without the US to pay the bills and provide the weapons, it's just a costume party. There's something
00:10:33.220 very odd, I think, about tiny European countries with no real armed forces of their own talking so
00:10:40.420 tough about war, especially if it's young women who probably have never held a firearm in their lives.
00:10:47.060 So just the idea of them knowing about war is so disconnected from what war is like. I'll add Trudeau
00:10:54.260 to that list, of course. And Germany too, actually. Remember the German official who was in tears
00:11:00.260 after US Vice President J.D. Vance said America wanted Europe to grow up and to start taking responsibility
00:11:06.740 for themselves and not relying on America so much anymore. And by the way, they should stop censoring.
00:11:12.820 Here's that German leader of the Munich Security Conference in tears.
00:11:18.420 This is why I cannot just ignore what we heard before. I cannot not comment on the speech we heard
00:11:26.340 by the US Vice President. We fight for your right to be against us. That is the motto, one of the
00:11:36.500 mottos of the Bundeswehr, and it stands for our democracy. This democracy that was just called into
00:11:45.060 question by the US Vice President, not just the German democracy, but Europe as a whole. He spoke of
00:11:52.180 the annulment of democracy. And if I understood him correctly, he compares the condition of Europe with
00:11:59.380 the condition that prevails in some authoritarian regimes. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not acceptable.
00:12:06.820 Trump has essentially said to these folks, you can have your press releases and your podcasts
00:12:11.700 and your meetings and you can play dress up, but America's out. Now, they're appalled in claiming
00:12:18.420 that America is pro-Russian. I don't know. I think Trump just doesn't want to inherit someone else's war,
00:12:25.060 especially a war that's only getting worse every day for Ukraine. Yeah, it's getting worse for Russia
00:12:30.660 too, but it's Ukraine that's losing. How can you call yourself a friend of Ukraine if you preside over
00:12:36.660 its destruction at the hands of the Russian army meat grinder? Didn't Boris Johnson just give the
00:12:42.660 game away there? Trump wants peace. Now, peace at any price? Probably not. I hope not. But you do make
00:12:51.940 peace with your enemies, by the way. You generally don't make peace with friends you don't need to.
00:12:56.500 And given that Russia is winning the war, at least in terms of territory, the terms of the peace will
00:13:02.900 likely be distasteful to the West. But what is the alternative? It is a terrible business. Trump
00:13:08.020 never talks about Ukraine without mentioning that the war would not have started on his watch. And I
00:13:13.700 think we all know that to be the truth. In fact, Justin Trudeau acknowledged that in his weekend
00:13:18.900 phone call with Trump. And we know that's true because war didn't start on Trump's watch. It happened
00:13:26.100 before Trump was president, when Obama was president in 2014, and it happened after Trump was president
00:13:32.740 in 2022. Now Trump is coming in and trying to fix the thing. Anyways, Trudeau has what? Two weeks left
00:13:41.620 as prime minister, March 9th, if I'm being precise. But boy, he loves jetting around on his private jet,
00:13:47.860 our jet, acting very important. He has no democratic mandate. He has no democratic legitimacy. He prorogued
00:13:54.500 parliament because he was about to be fired by the MPs and sent to an election. He's hiding from his
00:13:59.460 own MPs. He's hiding from Canadians. He is hated. But there he is swatting around the world, first
00:14:05.540 class, private jets, five star hotels. Oh, and throwing more bales of thousand dollar bills on the fire.
00:14:11.700 Look at this. But I know, we all know, there is more work to do. That is why I am announcing Canada will
00:14:19.540 be providing 25 more LAV-3 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine. We will be delivering two
00:14:27.060 armored combat support vehicles, which Ukrainian forces will be trained on shortly in Germany.
00:14:33.780 Landing systems for F-16s were delivered just two months ago, and four F-16 flight simulators will be
00:14:41.380 provided in the coming months. And that's on top of the millions of additional rounds of ammunition,
00:14:47.460 components for drone cameras, and first aid kits. We're also dispersing the first installment of the
00:14:54.100 five billion dollars in assistance to Ukraine funded through revenues from frozen Russian assets,
00:15:01.220 along with providing a grant to help Ukraine maintain its energy security in the wake of consistent
00:15:09.220 reckless attacks by Russia on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. At least in this case,
00:15:16.020 he claims he's paying for the five billion from seized Russian assets. Normally he just takes our tax
00:15:22.420 dollars. What's so weird though is he's sending state-of-the-art military equipment to Ukraine,
00:15:27.780 equipment that is more advanced than anything we have here in Canada. F-16s? We don't have those in
00:15:35.140 Canada. We have 40-year-old F-18s, many of which don't work. And then this, I don't know if you saw this
00:15:41.700 headline. It was in the Canadian press. Here's the version on CTB. Sending Canadian troops to Ukraine
00:15:47.860 on the table under possible peace deal. Trudeau. So we would send Canadian troops to be a buffer
00:15:55.940 between Russia and Ukraine? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not rule out sending Canadian troops to
00:16:02.420 Ukraine as part of a possible ceasefire deal when asked about the prospect during a peace and security
00:16:07.460 summit Monday in Kyiv. We will work with our neighbors on it, but everything is on the table,
00:16:12.740 Trudeau said at a joint media conference with other leaders. You know, I've learned that when Trudeau or
00:16:17.300 Melanie Jolie or any of his people say everything's on the table, that's actually just code for
00:16:22.180 we have no idea and we're afraid to say yes or no. But still, he's not ruling it out. So no parliamentary
00:16:30.340 debate. No vote. Just send troops to be human shields in the middle of these two brutal warring
00:16:37.380 countries. You know, maybe that's a good idea. I don't know. Maybe that's in our national interest.
00:16:43.060 I can see an argument that it could be. Stay in good with NATO. Make sure Kayakalas likes us and
00:16:49.860 Keir Starmer and the new German Chancellor. I don't know. Maybe Canadians want that. Maybe we can afford that.
00:16:58.020 I'm skeptical. But to do all this on the back of a napkin in the final weeks of his term of office
00:17:03.780 with Parliament dissolved, that's outrageous. That's undemocratic. I've got to just share one
00:17:09.060 more headline with you. Take a look at this one from the Globe and Mail. Trudeau presses Trump for
00:17:15.380 Ukraine's security guarantees. I'll read this from the Globe. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pushed
00:17:20.180 U.S. President Donald Trump in a phone call Saturday to ensure that any peace deal for Ukraine offers
00:17:25.860 security guarantees and prevents Russia from using military force to further expand its territorial
00:17:30.660 reach. Yeah, I think the Brits are in this peace conversation. And I think the French are too.
00:17:40.100 I don't know. Germany's new leader seems to be having a bit of a meltdown. He was just elected
00:17:43.700 yesterday. I don't think anyone takes Germany too seriously as a military force, though. Obviously,
00:17:49.300 the U.S. is going to be at that negotiation, Ukraine and Russia. But Trudeau? Telling Trump how to do it.
00:17:59.460 Telling Trump how to negotiate. Yeah. I'm sure Trump was hanging on Trudeau's every word. Hey,
00:18:05.060 what's your advice for how I should negotiate, Justin? I can't wait until March 9th to be done
00:18:11.140 with that little clown Trudeau. Can you? Stay with us for more.

00:19:21.300 You know, I'm no longer worried about Israel in the Middle East. I think Israel handily dispatched
00:19:27.220 Hezbollah in Lebanon without barely firing a shot. They paged them all and blew them up and then
00:19:34.180 took out the head of Hezbollah with a well-placed missile strike. Hamas has been largely decapitated,
00:19:41.540 and Donald Trump says he wants to bulldoze it and build a Riviera. I don't know exactly what that means,
00:19:47.220 but I don't think he's much interested in giving Hamas control over it. Other countries in the region
00:19:52.980 are reluctant to go along with Trump, but he has his persuasive ways. We saw the King of Jordan
00:19:58.180 visiting the White House the other day, and he seemed to go along with it. More importantly,
00:20:02.100 the Saudis and other Sunni states in the Persian Gulf region seem to want to get back on track
00:20:08.980 for Donald Trump's Abraham Accords. I see even the president of Lebanon, despite having a massive
00:20:16.500 funeral for the Hezbollah leader over the weekend, said Lebanon is tired of fighting and dying in a war
00:20:22.980 for Palestinians. I think the whole region is ready to move on. And because Donald Trump won,
00:20:28.660 I think Israel will be strong. Had Kamala Harris won, I think it is true what Trump predicted,
00:20:34.740 that Israel would have been denormalized. It would have had sanctions put on it. It would have become
00:20:39.780 a pariah at the UN. I think there's a real chance that Israel could have crumbled. But I am now quite
00:20:45.860 optimistic about Israel. I'm not the only one. I noticed that Air Canada has announced that they
00:20:52.260 are going to start their flights directly again from Canada to Israel, which is a sign not only
00:20:58.580 that they think it's safe again, but they think it's commercially viable. They wouldn't do that trip
00:21:04.180 if they didn't think they could fill it. So the world is moving on. But what the October 7th,
00:21:09.540 2023 attacks revealed was not just Israel's weaknesses and strengths, but ours here in Canada.
00:21:17.300 And I think I'm much more concerned, and I always have been much more concerned about
00:21:21.380 what's going on in Canada than in Israel, where I think they can take care of themselves.
00:21:26.580 I'll give you the example of the neighborhood in North Toronto, the intersection of two streets,
00:21:32.820 Bathurst and Shepherd, where innocuously enough for the first year, a group of Jews and allies of the
00:21:41.460 Jews would wave Israeli and Canadian flags at the street corner and honkers would honk their horn in
00:21:47.620 support. And they said they were doing that to remember the hostages. Remember, Hamas took more
00:21:53.060 than 200 hostages, including two young babies. Well, in the last few months, pro-Hamas extremists
00:22:01.220 have driven into Toronto from miles away and have set up a pro-Hamas counter demonstration right
00:22:08.980 across the street where they shout obscenities, call up for genocide from the river to the sea.
00:22:15.940 And most recently, they have bizarre reenactments of Hamas. You might recall I went there when they
00:22:22.980 were reliving the final moments of the Hamas leader, Yaya Sinwar. They had someone wearing a mask
00:22:29.460 in a chair covered with fake blood. It was so astonishing. I went there to see it for myself.
00:22:35.060 And I was arrested, you might recall, because police said my mere presence there was upsetting
00:22:40.500 to the Hamas protesters because I was Jewish. Here's a flashback of that.
00:22:44.420 You're refusing to leave? I'm refusing to leave. Why?
00:22:47.540 Because I'm a Jew, I'm a citizen, and I'm your boss. And I don't leave if you say Jews are the
00:22:53.700 way. Well, you know what? In the interest of keeping peace here and public safety,
00:22:56.980 you're under arrest for breach of the peace. Take a minute.
00:22:59.060 I'm good!
00:23:02.980 Take this.
00:23:11.060 I'm being arrested because I'm standing on the sidewalk in my city. I'm a Jew who lives in this
00:23:19.620 neighborhood and I'm being arrested because the police say that's a path of least resistance.
00:23:25.700 Well, that was my arrest. My friend David Menzies was arrested in the same place,
00:23:29.860 again, for doing journalism. And the reason I mention that is that police, instead of
00:23:36.180 moving these protesters, who are blocking the sidewalk at a minimum, but they do much more.
00:23:41.460 They engage in assault. They utter threats. I'm not a big believer in hate crimes, but
00:23:47.620 they absolutely, if they haven't committed hate crimes, there's no such thing. They've come in
00:23:52.420 to a Jewish residential neighborhood and they're shouting on amplified loudspeakers anti-Semitism
00:24:00.580 at passersby. If that's not a hate crime, I don't think there is one. But what's frustrating me is how
00:24:06.820 the police have gone from keeping the peace to being concierges for the Hamas terrorists. They not
00:24:13.380 only protect them and they're, I would call it part of a crime wave, but they arrest anyone who gets too
00:24:21.700 uppity about it. And again, that happened yesterday. Take a look at this video and see for yourself.
00:24:28.260 I'm going to go. I'm going to go just go say hi to officer Brian. He's fully respectful.
00:24:36.580 Happy birthday to you.
00:24:38.580 Happy birthday to you. Yay, everyone. It's a man. Thank you.
00:24:46.580 Small fortune.
00:24:48.580 What are you doing? Oh, go back to your side. I'm not, I'm not here to do this again. I'll stay with you guys.
00:25:04.580 That's not every time with you. I'm done with you. What are you doing here?
00:25:26.580 What are you doing here? Officer Brian, you know, I just said to say hi to you. I just come to say that hi to you. I am not, I am peaceful. I am violent. I don't do anything wrong.
00:25:38.580 What's wrong with you? What's your, what's problem with your mental health? Please don't block your anger, please. Just over here for me, guys. Please control your anger.
00:25:46.580 They're probably not on our side. What's wrong with you?
00:25:50.580 I just came to say hi to Officer Ibrahim. Please, out of the driveway, right here. That's all I'm asking you. Out of the driveway.
00:25:56.580 I'm here. There you go. Perfect. I just came peacefully to say hi to Officer Ibrahim, okay?
00:26:02.580 You guys are respectful. Okay? And I am respectful to you as well. Come on, guys.
00:26:07.580 Thank you for keeping jihadis safe.
00:26:11.580 That man is our friend Salman Sima, who is a Persian ally of the Jews.
00:26:17.580 He's carrying the traditional Iranian flag, the one of the Shah. And he has a sign, you could say,
00:26:23.580 Sankhamasser Teres. He walked over from the side with the Jewish protesters to the other side.
00:26:28.580 And I think he walked up to an officer, Ibrahim, who is a DEI hire in the Toronto Police Force, who didn't seem to like Salman Sima
00:26:38.580 and immediately pushed him and pushed him again, pushed him back on the road.
00:26:42.580 I'm not sure why he did that, other than he feels comfortable doing that. He feels comfortable protecting the Hamas protesters
00:26:51.580 and shoving Jewish or Persian supporters of Israel because he knows they won't riot and he knows the mayor doesn't have their back.
00:27:01.580 What's so incredible is, and what was not shown in that video, is that yesterday the pro-Hamas protesters were carrying little fake baby dolls with them,
00:27:12.580 symbolizing those Jewish babies that were murdered, strangled by Hamas and whose bodies were finally returned to Israel last week.
00:27:21.580 Imagine that. Imagine reenacting the strangulation of little baby children on the street, having a police escort for that.
00:27:33.580 And when a Persian critic comes forward, the Persian is shut back.
00:27:37.580 Joining me now to talk about that is the man who filmed that footage, as far as I know, Daniel Boardman, citizen journalist,
00:27:44.580 who joins us now via Skype. Daniel, good to see you again.
00:27:48.580 Thanks for having me back. Yes, for the record, yes, I was the one filming that particular video.
00:27:53.580 So I was there that day and that wasn't the first sort of incident we had with Officer Ibrahim.
00:27:59.580 Like, again, he doesn't like Salman and I because Salman went to go counter protest the regime's big terrorist march,
00:28:08.580 like the Ashura march, which is, you know, sponsored and created by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:28:12.580 Salman went there with a sign that said, like, respect human rights in Iran and got attacked by the crowd.
00:28:17.580 And then we went to the officers to report the assault.
00:28:19.580 And then we were assaulted by Officer Ibrahim while trying to report an assault.
00:28:24.580 And then we were screamed at and whatever.
00:28:26.580 So this is like the beginning of Officer Ibrahim and our relationship.
00:28:30.580 I know his badge number by heart now, six, five, six, nine, seven, I believe.
00:28:34.580 We were assaulted. It's on video. They put this in the road and we can't see you.
00:28:38.580 Because you're disturbing the peace. No, no, no.
00:28:40.580 I didn't say anything. Leave. Leave. Leave. Leave. Leave. Go somewhere else.
00:28:46.580 We have the right to be here. It's Canada. It's Canada.
00:28:50.580 What happened before this is Officer Ibrahim himself, and I have it posted on my Twitter.
00:28:55.580 I quote tweeted that video showing him having a friendly conversation with Farah Ansari, who was arrested at Bathurst and Shepherd a few weeks ago for assaulting a police officer.
00:29:05.580 So I have him at the tail end of a friendly conversation.
00:29:09.580 Now, you will have to take my word for this particular incident.
00:29:12.580 But I was looking over across the street and I said, is that Officer Ibrahim?
00:29:16.580 And it was. And he came up with a big smile on his face and he approached Farah Ansari and they approached each other and they gave each other a big hug.
00:29:23.580 They embraced. And then they were having this cordial chat for a while.
00:29:27.580 And Farah Ansari, I noticed her because I didn't. Again, I was in India when that happened.
00:29:31.580 So I just noticed her because I had filmed her. That's also my Twitter.
00:29:34.580 She was dancing with some stuffed animals, mocking the Bebas children.
00:29:37.580 So she was one of the jihadis who was very happy the Bebas children was murdered, mocking the community over the Bebas children quite, you know, you know, publicly, let's say.
00:29:49.580 And then I saw Officer Ibrahim come up, give her a big hug and he's talking with her.
00:29:54.580 So he's willing to have a conversation, a friendly conversation with someone who's been charged with assaulting one of his literal colleagues.
00:30:01.580 Right. This is his police division.
00:30:03.580 But if Salman Sima, a political prisoner, refugee pro-Canada, comes up politely, respectfully, doesn't get in his face, says, hello, Officer Ibrahim, attacked before even the second word gets out.
00:30:17.440 He put his hands on Salman assault him, put his hands on me like I didn't say anything to him.
00:30:22.440 He just started immediately grabbing me and shoving me and throwing me.
00:30:25.440 This is I mean, it's very unstable.
00:30:28.440 Either he's mentally unstable or he has a proclivity to side with the ideology of Hamas is the only two possible explanations for him.
00:30:38.440 So why is he having a friendly conversation, smiling and hugging someone, mocking the dead Bebas children who's been charged with assaulting an officer?
00:30:45.440 And why is he so violent with a citizen journalist and a former refugee?
00:30:49.440 You know, if this were happening 50 years ago, if there were some anti-Semites who were coming down to pick fights in a civilian residential Jewish neighborhood, I think the cops would sort of give them a bum's rush.
00:31:01.440 And if the cops didn't, I think local Jewish men would probably come out with their fists and sort of move.
00:31:08.440 You know, 50, 100 years ago, there actually were sort of gangs.
00:31:12.440 There was riots in Christie pits where there was Jews and others riding against anti-Semites.
00:31:19.440 50 years ago, the idea that you could have foreign nationals come into the heart of a residential area of Toronto and shriek vile anti-Semitism and reenact the murder of babies with little dolls is unthinkable.
00:31:34.440 It would be unthinkable.
00:31:35.440 But what's so astonishing is that the police are there to protect those foreign nationals and their anti-Semitism.
00:31:42.440 And one of the cops, as you pointed out, Officer Ibrahim, seems to be on friendly terms with them.
00:31:50.440 This is happening every single week.
00:31:53.440 And I don't think the Hamas side is trying to persuade anyone.
00:31:57.440 They're so gross.
00:31:58.440 They're so abhorrent.
00:32:00.440 They're celebrating the murder of children.
00:32:04.440 They're diabolical.
00:32:05.440 I don't think they're trying to persuade anyone.
00:32:07.440 I think they're doing something different.
00:32:09.440 I think they're trying to plant the flag and say, we're the bosses here now.
00:32:14.440 We can come right into the heart of a Jewish residential neighborhood week after week and say the most astonishingly gross things.
00:32:22.440 You can't touch us.
00:32:24.440 If you even come close to us, we'll have you arrested.
00:32:27.440 And if you bring a Persian ally of the Jews, he'll be arrested just for saying hello to the police.
00:32:33.440 This is the new rules now.
00:32:35.440 There's a new sheriff in town.
00:32:37.440 Your country does not belong to you now.
00:32:39.440 And be demoralized because it's only going to get worse when every day more refugees from Gaza are shipped in, etc.
00:32:49.440 I think the police presence there is actually the worst part of it.
00:32:54.440 Everything you said is correct.
00:32:56.440 You're one of the very few people in the Jewish community, at least, who understands this.
00:33:00.440 Often in the last year and a half, they would do something horribly obscene, like, you know, march with arm resistance is the only way to, you know, something, something, death to Canada.
00:33:12.440 And a lot of Jews would say, oh, now people see who they are and we'll see them for the hour.
00:33:16.440 Don't don't say anything.
00:33:17.440 Just let people see this.
00:33:18.440 Yeah, people see it.
00:33:19.440 They don't like them, but they're not going to do anything because they're scared.
00:33:23.440 You're 100 percent right.
00:33:24.440 This is not about they're not trying to convince anyone to come to their side.
00:33:28.440 They're trying to assert dominance as a dominance culture.
00:33:31.440 Right.
00:33:32.440 They're they're they're trying to recruit from their own.
00:33:35.440 And, yeah, maybe they're trying to pick up some ragtag communist 20 year olds here and there.
00:33:40.440 But it's a pure dominance thing is showing that your neighborhoods are our neighborhoods and you are powerless to to just to stop us.
00:33:50.440 This is what and this and this is what the police have learned.
00:33:53.440 Right. So it's a combination of a lot of things like, you know, the depolicing and the fact that, you know, even the good cops know that if they see a terrorist supporter beating up a Jew and they tackle the terrorist supporter and he scrapes his elbow and they put handcuffs on him.
00:34:09.440 I'm Olivia Chow will come out and start talking about police brutality.
00:34:12.440 So the thing for the cops on that thing is just, OK, the safest thing is to do nothing.
00:34:17.440 But then they're also taught conflict, the escalation, and they want to just deescalate at all terms.
00:34:23.440 Right. Never enforce the law or do the wrong thing.
00:34:26.440 It's just always deescalating the situation.
00:34:28.440 But what that ends up happening is the groups that are the most violent and radical end up gaining the power here because they have the threat of violence.
00:34:36.440 So in order to avoid the threat of violence, the police to deescalate capitulate to the most violent group on the streets.
00:34:45.440 So if you're the Jewish side or the Hindu side or the Christian side, you're out there.
00:34:52.440 People, the cops know, OK, they're not going to burn down my house if anything goes wrong.
00:34:56.440 But if you're a jihadi, a Calistani or a Marxist, the cops know all these people start smashing and breaking things so they get to get their way because then it would escalate if I possibly enforce the law.
00:35:07.440 I mean, that's what the cops said when they arrested me a little while ago.
00:35:11.440 They said your mere presence here could cause them to breach the peace.
00:35:17.440 They knew I wasn't going to breach the peace and they didn't claim I would.
00:35:22.440 They said just being there was a problem because the other guys are excitable.
00:35:27.440 That's just not the Canadian law.
00:35:29.440 In fact, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that's not how it is.
00:35:32.440 Let me ask you a question.
00:35:33.440 I mean, I saw what happened to Salman Sima.
00:35:36.440 He was pushed and shoved by that officer, Ibrahim, who didn't have to.
00:35:40.440 He could have just ignored him.
00:35:41.440 I mean, cops are taunted all the time.
00:35:43.440 Part of the training of police is can you control your emotions?
00:35:47.440 One of the reasons drill sergeants shout at recruits when they're practicing with their firearms is to add a level of stress to firearms management.
00:35:58.440 I mean, if you are a cop with a gun and people are screaming and swearing and shouting around you, are you going to freak out and just shoot them?
00:36:06.440 Or can you keep your wits when those around you are losing theirs?
00:36:09.440 And it's clear to me that Officer Ibrahim there could have just ignored Salman or laughed at him or said, sorry, not interested.
00:36:17.440 Instead, he was provoked by him, went up to him, pushed him, frog marched him into the street.
00:36:22.440 That's bad policing.
00:36:25.440 That's a guy who can't handle himself.
00:36:27.440 But it's actually assault as well.
00:36:29.440 There's no reason for that.
00:36:30.440 Are you or Salman considering suing the police in civil court for assault?
00:36:37.440 I mean, considering I can I can talk to Salman.
00:36:41.440 I mean, my thoughts on the system is why would I spend all this?
00:36:45.440 Like, I know the system is unfair.
00:36:47.440 They can take a look at me, say I'm white.
00:36:49.440 He's going to look at his name, say Ibrahim.
00:36:51.440 And they rule against me.
00:36:52.440 Like, I know I have the law on my side.
00:36:55.440 I know it was assault.
00:36:56.440 I know I have rights.
00:36:57.440 But I know I also don't really have rights in Canada.
00:37:00.440 Right.
00:37:01.440 According to whatever intersectional matrix of law, I'm wrong.
00:37:04.440 He's right, because my name is Boardman.
00:37:06.440 His name is Ibrahim.
00:37:07.440 So he wins.
00:37:09.440 And it would be like, listen, in in a fair country with we're with laws that actually mattered and were respected by the judicial system.
00:37:18.440 Yeah, I take my shot for what's right.
00:37:21.440 But I mean, the way I see it is, yeah, he's a bad cop.
00:37:25.440 Yeah, he's a danger to society and all that.
00:37:27.440 But if I were to file any official legal complaint against him, like, why waste my time with a judge and a corrupt legal system who's just going to be filled with more Officer Ibrahim's than they would be with.
00:37:42.440 And if they're not Officer Ibrahim's, they're going to be radical leftists who will just read Ibrahim versus Boardman and throw it out.
00:37:48.440 So why waste time?
00:37:51.440 It's very depressing.
00:37:52.440 Well, we'll keep an eye on things.
00:37:53.440 I mean, that showdown happens every single Sunday.
00:37:57.440 And it's really it's astonishing how many resources the city of Toronto puts into defending Hamas protesters and arresting Jews who don't like it.
00:38:08.440 It's quite astonishing to me.
00:38:10.440 Thanks for taking the time with us.
00:38:12.440 Thank you.
00:38:13.440 All right. That's Daniel Boardman, citizen journalist.
00:38:15.440 Stay with us.
00:38:16.440 More ahead.
00:38:23.440 Hey, welcome back to your letters to me.
00:38:30.440 Red Island Photographer says,
00:38:32.440 I love how Mark Carney tries to talk like he's going to deal with Trump properly.
00:38:36.440 But every time I see him speak of it, I generally fall asleep after the third sentence or so.
00:38:40.440 Mark Carney has some skills.
00:38:42.440 Obviously, he does.
00:38:43.440 You can't have a CV like his Bank of Canada, Bank of England, chairman of Brookfield without having some skills.
00:38:50.440 And I think he is skilled at working within large organizations.
00:38:54.440 He was on the board of the World Economic Forum.
00:38:56.440 I think he does well in that kind of schmoozy.
00:38:59.440 Who do you know?
00:39:00.440 Let me make a call kind of work.
00:39:02.440 I don't know if he's ever gone head to head with anyone like Donald Trump.
00:39:06.440 Very few have.
00:39:07.440 And I don't think he's actually run anything like a business.
00:39:10.440 He's just been part of huge NGOs.
00:39:14.440 Brookfield is not an NGO, but like he's not a get his hands dirty businessman.
00:39:19.440 He's he's more, you know, a high priest above everything.
00:39:25.440 I don't know how he's going to do.
00:39:27.440 He will be prime minister.
00:39:28.440 Mark that.
00:39:29.440 He will be prime minister for whether it's days, weeks or months.
00:39:32.440 And we'll see how he does.
00:39:34.440 Completely democratically illegitimate, by the way.
00:39:38.440 Iron Maiden says, I've yet to hear one Mainer back their governor over this issue.
00:39:44.440 By Mainer, you mean someone from Maine.
00:39:46.440 You're talking about the governor of Maine saying to Donald Trump in the White House the other day that she's not going to implement his new rules on kicking men out of women's sports.
00:39:55.440 That is such a terrible hill to die on for the Democrats.
00:39:58.440 I don't know why I'm giving advice to Democrats.
00:40:00.440 Not that they would listen to me and take it.
00:40:02.440 But this is an issue, as Scott Jennings says, it's an 80 20 issue.
00:40:06.440 Maybe at most 20 percent of the people support it, but 80 percent don't.
00:40:11.440 It's much bigger than just Republicans.
00:40:13.440 It's moms mainly.
00:40:15.440 It's nonpolitical people who are scared and look to Trump to fight back against the thing they're scared of.
00:40:22.440 Guys, you know, physically harming girls in sports or in changing rooms.
00:40:27.440 And that's such a weird thing for a Democrat feminist from a liberal state to fight over.
00:40:34.440 And I think Trump is right.
00:40:36.440 It's she's offside with her own people.
00:40:39.440 If she and by the way, Trump has a hammer now.
00:40:42.440 About four billion dollars worth of transfers every year to that state.
00:40:46.440 RF 78 says, is it even possible for the Prime Minister of Canada to do good stuff like Trump is doing for the USA?
00:40:52.440 On the one hand, I think the answer is yes, because Canada's prime minister has more powers than the U.S. president in certain ways.
00:41:02.440 The power to make appointments, the power to is greater.
00:41:06.440 There's less restrictions.
00:41:08.440 As you know, Trump has had to send some of his picks for Senate confirmation.
00:41:11.440 That really doesn't happen in Canada.
00:41:13.440 I think that if Polly have wanted to, he could do a lot of these things.
00:41:20.440 Trouble is, I think our courts are so activist and so left wing, they might stop it.
00:41:26.440 But I think Pierre Polly should try.
00:41:28.440 That's our show for today.
00:41:30.440 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
00:41:36.440 And keep fighting for freedom.
00:41:38.440 Thank you.
00:41:39.440 Thank you.
