Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Trudeau Liberals condemn Tucker Carlson for challenging government narratives

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Interesting show today. It's sort of pitiful at the same time. Four

00:00:03.820 liberal cabinet ministers trotted out to say that Tucker Carlson is just a meanie,

00:00:08.560 and can he stop being so mean? I don't know if this will work. Nothing else seems to stop

00:00:13.920 through those free fall in the polls. Hey, I'd love it if you could see the video of these

00:00:18.800 whiny liberals. And to do that, you need to subscribe to Rebel News Plus. That's the video

00:00:35.680 and it shows. All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:38.860 Tonight, not one, not two, not three, but four Trudeau cabinet ministers complain about

00:01:00.480 Tucker Carlson's visit to Canada. It's January 26, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:05.520 You're fighting for freedom!

00:01:08.680 Shame on you, you sensorious bug! 0.85

00:01:20.520 Hey, you know, Tucker Carlson is funny. I mean, he's got a sense of humor. Like, Donald Trump

00:01:26.300 is funny. And they both use humor to tell a story wonderfully. And Tucker knows the tyrants

00:01:32.520 don't like to laugh. I mean, Tucker loves just to prick the fancy people. He says Ottawa instead

00:01:39.260 of Ottawa. Whenever he does that, a chorus of mainstream journalists says, it's Ottawa,

00:01:44.180 not Ottawa. Yeah, he knows that. Although, as he pointed out in his speech in Alberta,

00:01:49.900 apparently the aboriginal way of saying Ottawa is Ottawa. You know, no tyrants like to be made

00:01:56.480 fun of. I'm reminded that Solzhenitsyn, the great critic of Stalin, was sent to prison because of

00:02:03.800 a joke. In just some private letter, he called Stalin the whiskered one, which apparently was

00:02:09.880 too much mockery for Stalin. He was sent to Siberia for that. Ayatollah Khomeini, the original tyrant 0.93

00:02:16.220 in the Islamic Republic of Iran. He said, there's no joking in Islam. And he meant it. I think it was 0.99

00:02:24.020 Orwell who said, every joke is a little revolution. Now, those are the tyrants themselves who think of

00:02:31.720 themselves as very serious, almost godlike. And so you must not be able to mock. But of course,

00:02:37.920 the tyrants have different layers of courtiers around. And those courtiers who do the bidding of 0.99

00:02:44.500 their tyrants, they know a joke's a joke. But they pretend otherwise because they know that

00:02:51.140 there's no mocking power. So, for example, when Tucker said that his mission was to come to Canada

00:02:56.580 to liberate Canada, no one actually thought that he meant they were going to break chains and kick us

00:03:04.340 out of jail because we're not actually in a physical jail and not actually changed. It's to liberate

00:03:09.380 psychologically, politically, journalistically to expand the scope of public conversation. But

00:03:14.840 I can't believe the number of mainstream media who said, no, no, he was literal. He literally said

00:03:21.380 he was coming to invade us. That's why Tucker did those little videos before he came. Remember this one?

00:03:27.960 Thank you for your call. You have reached the media line. For all urgent requests,

00:03:32.840 please send your request by email.

00:03:34.920 Merci pour votre appel. Vous avez atteint la ligne médiatique. Merci beaucoup.

00:03:40.180 Yes, hi. I couldn't understand the French part, but it's Tucker Carlson calling from the United

00:03:45.040 States. And I'd be grateful if you pass a message on to the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

00:03:49.980 We are coming to liberate Canada. We are coming to liberate Canada. And we'll be there soon. Merci.

00:03:58.840 Well, as I mentioned to you the other day, Premier Daniel Smith of Alberta and Tucker talked about a

00:04:04.100 number of things. And Daniel Smith said her purpose was to take advantage of Tucker Carlson's big audience 0.66

00:04:10.080 to make the case for Alberta. And she certainly did. And one of the things she said is what she's been

00:04:15.580 saying for months now, that Stephen Gilboa, the former convicted criminal who's now Justin Trudeau's

00:04:22.580 Environment Minister, is an extremist kook. Here's Danielle Smith talking candidly about that with Tucker. 0.96

00:04:30.120 I don't know if you know much about Stephen Gilboa. I don't know if I've heard her.

00:04:32.760 I'm wanting to learn less just by your description.

00:04:35.940 Well, the thing I find so offensive, I mean, you talk about the disrespect to our province. This is a guy who

00:04:43.240 is an environmental advocate. He's best known for scaling the CN Tower in opposition of fossil

00:04:50.420 fuels when he was working as an environmental advocate. But he also scaled the house of our

00:04:55.220 premier. So he's a brown climber, not an engineer. Maybe he'd be better at that. But imagine that. 0.99

00:05:01.740 Imagine somebody going and taking a criminal offense, going onto the roof of a premier, that

00:05:06.140 they make that person in charge, trying to dictate to us how to pull our resources out of the ground,

00:05:11.740 how to manage our natural resources, how to manage our electricity. That's what Justin Trudeau has

00:05:17.700 done. So I'm trying to get him fired, and I would love your help on that.

00:05:21.960 That's pretty normal talk, pretty normal banter in politics. But oh my God, did the Trudeau liberals

00:05:29.200 go berserk over it. And again, I think that a lot of this is fake. A lot of this is crying wolf on

00:05:37.140 purpose, but knowing that their submissive, colonized media will run with it as if they were serious. 0.99

00:05:45.500 Four cabinet ministers went out to scrum a press conference about Tucker Carlson and Danielle Smith.

00:05:55.100 I'm not sure what the federal interest is at all, Danielle Smith being a provincial premier.

00:06:00.540 But apparently this was more important than, for example, the United Kingdom abandoning the trade

00:06:07.760 agreement negotiations with Canada, the terrorist attack in the Edmonton City Hall, or any of half

00:06:14.500 a dozen other matters. This was the most important thing for four cabinet ministers, let alone the

00:06:21.440 federal court ruling. So let me show you some of that astonishing four cabinet ministers' scrum

00:06:28.900 over what a journalist said to a provincial premier. It's just bizarre. They were trying to

00:06:34.800 play the hurt feelings card, and they were trying to claim that Tucker Carlson and Danielle Smith

00:06:41.540 made violent threats. Here, you heard what Tucker and Smith said. Now listen to how the liberals

00:06:49.580 described it.

00:06:50.540 So we're here, I'm here with my colleagues, liberal caucus members, ministers all, to talk about what

00:06:55.800 happened last night in Edmonton when the premier of the province of Alberta, Daniel Smith, invites

00:07:00.360 Tucker Carlson right into the heart of my writing. You can tell a lot about a person by the company

00:07:05.400 they keep. And I have knocked those doors in Edmonton Centre. And I know how progressive a writing

00:07:11.320 Edmonton Centre is. I've represented it since 2015. And for Danielle Smith to bring the mouthpiece of the

00:07:18.740 mega conservative far right to Edmonton Centre to spew hate about LGBTQ2 people is beyond the pale,

00:07:27.300 it's deplorable, and we won't stand for it. And I can tell you, it is completely unacceptable for the

00:07:35.620 premier of any province to say that she wants to put a target on the back of any Canadian politician

00:07:42.040 and my friend and colleague Stephen Gilboa simply for doing his job. You can have respectful discourse in this

00:07:48.480 country, you can raise the issue, you can bang your fist on a table at a Fedprov meeting, that's all legit.

00:07:53.600 But you do not summon the dogs of mega conservatism to come and somehow try to scare us and to try to incite

00:08:01.560 violence against politicians of any stripe. It's not acceptable. And if she would take her job seriously, she'd actually be

00:08:08.140 focused on housing, on climate change, on actually solving the issues of Albertans, like forgetting her

00:08:13.560 ridiculous proposal on CPP, instead of trying to summon evil forces from the United States to try to take

00:08:20.700 on one of our colleagues.

00:08:21.320 I mean, this goes beyond me and the fact that I was targeted last night at this event. This increases

00:08:29.780 political violence against everyone who runs for office in this country, whether they're doing at the

00:08:35.200 municipal level, at the provincial level, or at the federal level. As my friend and colleague Randy said,

00:08:40.480 like we can have differences of opinion, we can bang our fist on the table when we meet, we can have

00:08:46.420 strong disagreement. But to incite violence against people who disagree with you, that's not how things

00:08:54.340 should be done in Canada.

00:08:55.340 Can you clarify, what is the violence? What is the violence? I think the minister also said this in French.

00:08:59.620 What is the violence that they are bringing to Canada? What is the political violence that you're talking about? Just to be very clear.

00:09:05.560 Well, to put a target on someone's back, for example.

00:09:09.620 To put someone in the crosshairs.

00:09:12.620 I mean, spewing hate speech about LGBTQ people, trying to bring the kind of division that they have

00:09:18.620 in the United States north of the border. MAGA-style conservatism has no place in Canada, and it's trying

00:09:24.700 to reach through our borders. And as Minister Rodriguez has said, conservative premiers, instead

00:09:30.140 of doing their jobs, are trying to invite this wave of populism. And I can tell you, it's making newcomers 0.62

00:09:36.300 nervous and fearful. People in the LGBTQ community do not feel safe. We have people who want to run for office, 1.00

00:09:42.300 that take a look at what happened last night in Edmonton and say, why bother? And that is not good

00:09:46.300 for the political comments. It's not good for Canadian democracy.

00:09:49.300 You brought up Pierre Polyev's name in your comments. I mean, is this going to be your

00:09:54.300 strategy effectively going forward, as tying Pierre Polyev to Trump?

00:09:57.300 He wants to be Prime Minister of this country. What happened last night is not acceptable.

00:10:02.300 Is he going to condemn that? If he wants to run for Prime Minister, he should have the courage

00:10:08.300 to condemn those. It's not acceptable in our country.

00:10:10.300 I mean, what do you make of the fact that there is an audience for it, and for their

00:10:17.300 perspective?

00:10:18.300 Well, as I said in French, the extreme-right politics, don't ask the question if it's

00:10:24.300 coming to Canada. It's already here. And they're bringing it.

00:10:27.300 Should he not have been let into the country? You're all familiar with his rhetoric.

00:10:31.300 He's been doing this for years. So, what, should he have been stopped at the border?

00:10:35.300 I think his word should be conunded. We cannot accept that in Canada.

00:10:39.300 This is not us. And this will never be. This will never be us.

00:10:43.300 It's just going to be an effective strategy.

00:10:44.300 Are you not contributing to the divide by coming out here and comparing Polyev to this

00:10:47.300 and making this about him? Are you not contributing to the divide by doing that?

00:10:50.300 If your government has been...

00:10:52.300 We're not comparing Polyev to him. I think what...

00:10:54.300 You're not? Have you looked at your own advertising?

00:10:57.300 Mr. Mr. Mr. What Mr. Rodriguez just said is he said, I'm asking Pierre Polyev, the leader

00:11:04.300 of the opposition, to condemn those hateful and violent statements by Tucker Carlson.

00:11:09.300 Yeah, that's just not what happened. I mean, I was there, at least for the Edmonton speech,

00:11:21.300 and I watched the Calgary speech, and I watched Daniel Smith and Tucker Carlson, and they didn't

00:11:25.300 make any violent threats whatsoever. It was a bizarre attempt to try and put that discussion

00:11:31.300 around the neck of Pierre Polyev and convince the media that there was violence.

00:11:36.300 It was just so much, well, to use a liberal word, misinformation.

00:11:41.300 But of course, it worked with Trudeau's base, which these days is really just CBC journalists.

00:11:46.300 The CBC was right there on cue. Take a look at this. I'm just going to read the headline.

00:11:51.300 Liberal ministers blast Alberta Premier Daniel Smith for hosting Tucker Carlson.

00:11:57.300 Do not summon the dogs of MAGA conservatism to try and scare us, the Liberal cabinet minister says.

00:12:08.300 OK, well, first of all, you just call people a dog, so stop your division. Stop your violent language.

00:12:13.300 And here's my question. Does anyone actually think that those cabinet ministers are scared?

00:12:20.300 Do you believe that? Or do you know that they're just being falsely alarmed?

00:12:27.300 Um, yeah. Yeah. Here's the CBC's report.

00:12:32.300 Smith's comment was interpreted by Boston Hope as a call for violence, an attempt to summon evil forces from the United States to try and take on one of our colleagues.

00:12:46.300 But but was it really? I mean, was it really? Or are you just lying and the CBC being good stenographers?

00:12:55.300 I mean, are the CBC real reporters? Like what would they ask? Are you serious? Are you acting? Are you crying wolf?

00:13:04.300 Don't you think this fake reaction undermines any real claims of, you know, violence?

00:13:10.300 No, because they're government journalists on a mission to support their boss and they're terrified that Pierre Polyev, if he becomes prime minister, will defund them.

00:13:20.300 Never, ever, ever, ever trust the CBC. They are liars and they are conjoined with the Liberal Party.

00:13:27.300 Now, it's the same in Alberta. I showed you what happened in Ottawa.

00:13:31.300 But look at this little press conference of some journalists. I'm not sure who this female journalist is trying to tell the premier of Alberta who she can and can't talk to it. 1.00

00:13:42.300 I thought Danielle Smith's answer was pretty good. Here, take a look.

00:13:44.300 I do want to ask about your attendance at both of Tucker Carlson's events yesterday.

00:13:48.300 This is somebody who has been accused of defending white supremacy, spreading misinformation about the war in Ukraine, as well as making disparaging remarks about women.

00:13:55.300 So why did you believe that this is someone that you should be giving time and attention to?

00:13:59.300 Well, I take a wide range of media requests. I've done, I'm told by my staff, 96 individual media events or interviews since I got reelected, 24 press conferences.

00:14:11.300 And I don't require, I don't do a screening test to make sure that every person that interviews me matches 100% of what I believe.

00:14:19.300 And I don't expect that I'm that they're going to that that would be an appropriate thing to do.

00:14:24.300 So I take a wide range of interviews from CBC all the way through to alternative media because my job is to get our message out about Alberta.

00:14:33.300 And I told everyone that I wanted to make sure that somebody who has a very loud voice in America knew that we were a partner in being able to provide energy security and energy affordability.

00:14:45.300 And I got that message out.

00:14:47.300 Well, of course, in Calgary, the CBC reporter, Marcus Soff, had the same thing to say.

00:14:52.300 But imagine the chutzpah. Imagine coming from the CBC, the network of Jeanne Gomesie, you know, the serial abuser of women or the network of Nora Lurito, that disgusting, macabre necrophile.

00:15:07.300 And all the freaks at the CBC. Imagine if Danielle Smith actually put the CBC proposal into effect and did a deep audit on the morality of any journalist who went to interview her. 1.00

00:15:22.300 And if Danielle Smith actually took the CBC up on their suggestion and vetted any journalist in advance before talking to them, she wouldn't talk to anyone from the CBC.

00:15:33.460 It's a gross place. I mean, if you recall the story of Jeanne Gomesie, a serial predator who used the CBC as a way to be a predator on young interns and audience members.

00:15:46.460 Like, he turned the CBC into this grooming industrial factory to convey or belt young women to him for physical abuse.

00:15:57.040 I mean, how could the CBC possibly tell, with a straight face, the Premier of Alberta, oh, what are you doing talking to that journalist?

00:16:06.740 Sure, with the CBC, you are dirty from original sin. You're a government institution.

00:16:13.040 So, the CBC had a power panel, if they do say so themselves, on the subject.

00:16:21.240 And I watched it, and I don't recommend wasting your time.

00:16:24.620 On these power panels, they usually have a token conservative.

00:16:28.660 But in this case, they had James Moore, the former minister under Stephen Harper, who was the minister in charge of the CBC.

00:16:36.620 And he failed in his mission to privatize or defund or shut down the CBC.

00:16:41.940 And I think the CBC are eternally grateful to him, so they give him these gigs, and I'm sure they pay him.

00:16:47.540 I don't think James Moore is a politically relevant force anymore.

00:16:50.440 He's kept relevant by the CBC, because he's the perfect conservative in the minds of the CBC, since he will attack Tucker Carlson.

00:16:59.400 And let me show you a little bit of that.

00:17:00.800 So, this is a panel discussion with a whole range of opinions, from I don't like Tucker Carlson, to I hate Tucker Carlson.

00:17:09.480 Just listen to James Moore, the conservative, for a minute.

00:17:12.160 James, you were kind of dismissing this attack by the Liberals today, in an earlier segment.

00:17:17.580 What do you make of her comment about putting the crosshairs on Stephen Gilbeau?

00:17:22.220 I mean, the Liberals have compared that to inciting violence.

00:17:25.060 How do you view what she said?

00:17:27.500 I mean, dismissing, I think, the political impact.

00:17:29.920 But look, I grew up in the 1990s, and the conservative movement with Tucker Carlson was kind of normal.

00:17:34.160 And he has wandered so far away from that.

00:17:38.000 You know, 80% of what he says is sort of perfectly fine political commentary.

00:17:41.840 It's the other 20%. 0.96

00:17:43.040 You know, he's become a mouthpiece for Vladimir Putin.

00:17:45.740 He's become an extremist advancing things like race replacement theory and some really bizarre views.

00:17:54.160 Even at this event, you know, he sort of made a really ugly shot questioning or challenging the prime minister of Canada's sexual orientation in a pretty crass and dumb way.

00:18:06.880 You know, Tucker Carlson, and the thing about Tucker Carlson is he knows he's doing this.

00:18:10.720 He's not just sort of a random conservative.

00:18:12.420 We know from the January 6th and the lawsuit against Fox News and their support of the conspiracy theories around the voting in the 2020 election campaign,

00:18:25.020 that Tucker Carlson doesn't like Donald Trump, doesn't believe in Donald Trump, but he goes on the air and he's Donald Trump's biggest spokesperson because there's money in it for him.

00:18:31.720 He's a pretty cynical guy who advances some really ugly views in exchange for cash, and he's not a credible person anymore.

00:18:39.820 He used to be years ago, and so he's become this sort of, you know, bizarre caricature of what sort of a right-wing person, you know, would be, and he's making a lot of money doing it.

00:18:50.540 So I'm frankly surprised that the premier of Alberta would share the stage with somebody of, you know, his character and reputation.

00:18:56.400 He was fired by Fox for lying in part of the lawsuit that Fox had to pay over $750 million in compensation to Dominion voting for.

00:19:05.840 And, you know, I just think he's a very dodgy person, and I think the premier of Alberta should know better than to share the stage with him.

00:19:12.100 Yeah, that's sort of pitiful. I'm embarrassed for James Bohr and the CBC.

00:19:16.220 You know, it's been an astonishing week.

00:19:18.620 It started with a surprising ruling from the federal court that found that the federal government had used violence illegally to crack down on Canadians, to deploy riot horses, to jail people, to seize bank accounts, and it was all illegal, all unconstitutional.

00:19:35.740 And in that week, the same government accuses Tucker Carlson and Danielle Smith of violence, and the CBC went along with that.

00:19:47.680 Unbelievable.

00:19:48.540 And to send out in that pack of four cabinet ministers two criminals to do it, Pablo Rodriguez, who's a drunk driver, and Stephen Gilbeau.

00:19:58.620 I just want to remind you, Stephen Gilbeau didn't just break into the CN Tower and stop traffic and endanger people and rappel down in some Greenpeace stuff.

00:20:08.500 Far more terrifying, as Don Braid, the Calgary Herald columnist, has demonstrated.

00:20:15.380 When Ralph Klein was the premier of Alberta, his wife Colleen was at home in Calgary, so Ralph was up there in Emerton.

00:20:22.620 And this was before you had huge security everywhere, so you could walk to the premier's house.

00:20:28.480 And what Stephen Gilbeau did is he went to the house when Ralph, Premier Ralph Klein, was away.

00:20:35.620 So it's just the premier's wife in the house by herself. 0.53

00:20:39.900 And this mania, Stephen Gilbeau gets a ladder and goes and trespasses, doesn't knock on the door, doesn't ring the doorbell, just shows up and goes on the roof of her house for some solar panel stunt or something.

00:20:59.000 Can you imagine how terrifying that is?

00:21:03.200 This bearded, wild-eyed, crazy, serial criminal is on your house. 0.98

00:21:10.200 Is he going to come in and assault you or rape you or rob you?

00:21:13.820 Oh, no, he's just doing a stunt.

00:21:15.360 Oh, okay, good.

00:21:16.100 Well, he's just trespassing and terrifying the living day.

00:21:19.020 That is the thug that's out there talking about violence.

00:21:23.420 You guys are being mean.

00:21:25.600 Just so, so gross.

00:21:26.880 You have the federal court ruling, you have the terrorists in Edmonton, you have the United Kingdom ending the free trade negotiation.

00:21:33.560 You have disasters everywhere.

00:21:35.860 And here the liberal move is to plead for civility.

00:21:38.920 Hey, guys, please be civil like we are.

00:21:42.680 No, they weren't actually pleading for civility.

00:21:45.900 What they were doing is that they were trying to criminalize and declare peaceful criticism from journalists and politicians as violence.

00:21:55.080 They do that again and again.

00:21:56.880 I don't know if you remember, but the censorship bills that are being pushed on journalists in Canada, they were drafted by Guilbeau when he was the head of the Heritage Department.

00:22:06.800 And you'll remember what Guilbeau said.

00:22:08.800 One of the explicit purposes of his censorship bills was to stop people from peaceful criticism of politicians like him.

00:22:19.900 Remember this?

00:22:20.860 We've seen too many examples of public officials retreating from public service due to the hateful online content targeted towards themselves or even their families.

00:22:30.900 That's how gross the liberal government is.

00:22:34.020 The faster we can get to an election, the better.

00:22:37.440 Stay with us for more.

00:22:38.320 Hey, did you know there was a terrorist attack in Canada the other day?

00:22:53.060 Like, for real, an Islamic terrorist attack by an Islamic man named Bezani Sarvar.

00:22:58.100 He hasn't been convicted yet, but he's being charged, and frankly, more to the point, he's confessed.

00:23:03.860 Here's a video he recorded from his car where he talks about a number of issues.

00:23:08.960 It's a bit of a mishmash, but he makes a reference in Arabic, and he talks about how others will follow behind him.

00:23:16.360 And he very specifically talks about the genocide in Gaza.

00:23:22.020 Here's the confession, and then we'll look at the attack.

00:23:46.360 As-salamu alaykum, brothers and sisters.

00:23:59.380 Before I do my mission, I want you all to know that I am not a psychopath.

00:24:04.180 I do not believe in bloodshed.

00:24:05.540 I am not one of these monsters that hurt children, that hurt innocents, and that promote wars over the civilization of our society.

00:24:12.820 I'm just tired of seeing the tyranny and corruption taking over our society and our lives.

00:24:19.500 The leaders, officials, and anybody that has hands into this corruption, into this genocide that's going on in Gaza and throughout the world.

00:24:28.020 Anybody that is destabilizing other countries, hurting their community, what do you call them, should feel ashamed of themselves.

00:24:35.600 And inshallah, we will rise against you guys, and we'll put you on trial.

00:24:38.940 Sisters, inshallah, I'll succeed with my mission.

00:24:41.420 If I don't succeed, I know somebody else will succeed for me.

00:24:45.340 As-salamu alaykum.

00:24:46.500 So that's what he said.

00:24:48.260 And here's footage of him shooting up the place.

00:25:02.100 What's most astonishing is that this just happened.

00:25:06.040 And I put it to you that this has been buried in the news if it's been covered at all.

00:25:12.220 We have an Islamist confession, and then an attempt to murder, an attempt to kill, and crickets. 0.98

00:25:22.440 Joining us now to talk about it is one of the few reporters in this country who has not buried the news.

00:25:26.960 His name is Joe Warmington.

00:25:27.960 He writes for The Sun chain of newspapers.

00:25:30.340 He's based in Toronto.

00:25:32.140 Joe, great to see you.

00:25:33.320 And thank you for being one of the few journalists who's actually covered this story.

00:25:37.400 What do you think is, first of all, let's talk about the attack, and then let's talk about the media coverage.

00:25:43.760 He's a Muslim man who says some Muslim things.

00:25:47.180 He talks briefly in Arabic, and he refers to Gaza.

00:25:51.500 He talks about other things, too, to be sure.

00:25:54.120 I think it's fair to say that this is terrorism, politically motivated violence.

00:25:58.560 And I think it's fair to say it's Islamic terrorism. 1.00

00:26:00.860 The man himself is Muslim, and he refers to a Muslim issue, Gaza.

00:26:04.720 So what do you think?

00:26:05.700 Well, I definitely think all of that, because that's exactly what happened.

00:26:08.780 The story of what happened is not really the issue.

00:26:14.340 It's how the political class and also the media chose to find another way of describing it at best,

00:26:23.440 and in some cases covering it up at worst.

00:26:26.500 And it reminds me, Ezra, of the different attacks that I've covered.

00:26:30.040 And we both have covered what happened on the Danforth here in Toronto, where a guy who had just been to Pakistan had an automatic or a heavy pistol that was able to be semi-automatic.

00:26:48.180 He shot up, killed two girls, and also wounded 15 others.

00:26:52.040 And he was, I guess he killed himself before we could get the full answer of it.

00:26:57.060 But it was this lone wolf.

00:26:58.500 Oh, my God.

00:26:59.680 You know, it had nothing to do with anything.

00:27:00.800 We don't know.

00:27:01.500 We don't know.

00:27:02.100 Same thing.

00:27:04.940 I went to Ottawa with Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Patrice Vincent, the warrant officer, the day before.

00:27:11.720 I went to both of those things.

00:27:12.800 So it reminds me of these things.

00:27:14.660 And we have one in Ottawa this year where a young man was caught with bombs and the like, and they managed to foil that attack.

00:27:23.380 So when they say that these are all lone wolves, I don't think they're telling the truth.

00:27:30.920 They're the same attack, and they're being inspired by somebody.

00:27:34.040 Yet the chief of police at Edmonton, you know, I have no problem with them, Dale McPhee.

00:27:37.700 But I do have a problem when he comes right around and says, you know, act it alone, and we don't think there's any further danger.

00:27:45.980 They have no idea how close there was to being one of the worst things in the history of Canada.

00:27:51.860 He went into City Hall.

00:27:52.660 There was a council meeting on.

00:27:53.940 The mayor was there.

00:27:55.400 There were kindergarten and grade one students in the building.

00:27:57.960 And even if those that say that, you know, he just shot up and shot up and lit a thing of fire, didn't hurt anybody, hasn't covered a stray bullet murder like I have, many of them.

00:28:09.640 And so anyway, I take a long time to explain it to you.

00:28:14.440 This was a terror attack.

00:28:15.880 It wasn't covered like a terror attack.

00:28:17.780 Yeah, you're exactly right.

00:28:19.040 And he did talk about certain other issues.

00:28:22.040 He talked about taxes.

00:28:23.420 It's true.

00:28:24.220 But he's a Muslim man from a Muslim country with a, you can tell he has an Arabic accent or, sorry, I think it might be a Persian accent.

00:28:35.300 To, we need to investigate more.

00:28:37.760 And the police chief basically said, oh, no, we know that there's nothing more to this.

00:28:42.260 A lot of the coverage omitted the Gaza reference.

00:28:44.940 And there's a Muslim Brotherhood front group in Canada called the National Council of Canadian Muslims, NCCM.

00:28:51.060 They actually put up a tweet saying this is the alt-right because he mentioned taxes and he mentioned some other secular issue.

00:29:00.720 So the pro-Gaza lobby group in Canada saying, oh, this is the alt-right.

00:29:05.520 We have to crack down on conservatives.

00:29:08.720 Obviously not even mentioning Gaza.

00:29:10.500 Just astonishing.

00:29:11.400 If the shoe were on the other foot, if this was someone wearing a red Make America Great Again hat, you know, a white Christian conservative, this would be all that people would be talking about in politics, in media, in law enforcement.

00:29:29.780 I don't think Trudeau has mentioned a word about this.

00:29:32.520 He preferred to talk about going to some women's hockey game.

00:29:38.060 And by the way, I don't think other politicians have emphasized it either.

00:29:41.080 No one wants to talk about this.

00:29:42.640 Everyone's afraid of alienating the pro-Hamas vote in Canada.

00:29:46.340 You know who would be talking about it if it was someone with a MAGA hat?

00:29:52.020 It would be you.

00:29:53.360 And it would also be me because we don't look at serious crime against our country and our people in our country in the lens.

00:30:00.800 And yet that's exactly what you're seeing here.

00:30:03.340 You know, if you listen to these politicians, what they try to push is that the biggest problem in Canada and the United States is white supremacy and far-right white movements.

00:30:15.380 But, you know, when those things do happen, obviously people are people.

00:30:19.940 We cover it.

00:30:20.660 The difference is that the mainstream media has taken the narrative, which is, you know, from the funder, which is through the federal government, which sub-runs all these media outlets.

00:30:30.220 And you can see the result of that, Ezra, where they actually leave things out.

00:30:34.940 Very important.

00:30:35.540 I saw some of your coverage of it.

00:30:36.640 I was busy covering the Tucker Carlson stuff when this happened.

00:30:40.620 I kind of missed it.

00:30:42.380 And the reason I missed it is because the mainstream media didn't tell me what it was.

00:30:46.280 It's like, oh, you know, maybe there's a minor gun incident.

00:30:49.440 And, you know, I kind of did clue into it.

00:30:52.660 I thought, well, that's big of them probably saying.

00:30:54.080 But I got busy with my day because the media didn't do its job.

00:30:57.200 You did.

00:30:57.900 I saw some of your tweets about it.

00:31:00.380 And my editor, Jonathan Kingston at The Sun, he emailed me, said, this is a jihadist attack.

00:31:05.840 I dropped everything and went to work on it, as we always would on a big story like this.

00:31:10.540 We're just lucky that nobody was killed here.

00:31:14.700 The cover-up will continue.

00:31:16.100 We may never get to the bottom of this.

00:31:18.200 But we have got enough out that Canadians know just what could have happened here.

00:31:23.260 You know, it's a good point that Trudeau sent out four cabinet ministers to rage against Tucker Carlson.

00:31:32.580 If only they had 1% of that rage against an Islamist terrorist that they do for Tucker Carlson.

00:31:41.120 It's just incredible.

00:31:42.080 I think one of these days, these terrorist attacks will actually do horrendous damage.

00:31:46.400 That absolutely could have turned into a massacre.

00:31:50.120 And especially if it was more professionally organized and planned and had been a group of them.

00:31:54.460 And Trudeau has openly called for the mass immigration of, quote, refugees from Gaza.

00:32:03.700 Gaza, and we know from pollsters that 75% of the residents in Gaza are pro-Hamas.

00:32:08.680 So I think it's just a matter of time before we have a deadly terrorist attack.

00:32:13.160 And I don't think that the people who are supposed to be on guard are.

00:32:17.760 And I don't say that with any happiness.

00:32:21.940 There's nothing worse in the world than the words, I told you so.

00:32:25.320 Because it means...

00:32:26.160 You know...

00:32:26.740 Go ahead.

00:32:28.140 No, I was just going to say, I mean, you're right.

00:32:29.860 We've had them here.

00:32:30.600 I mean, I mentioned the Danforth, and in the Danforth one, somewhere on Axe, you'll find my little interview I did with a guy that was basically spared by that guy, Faisal Hussain.

00:32:44.880 You know, the coverage of that was atrocious just like this.

00:32:49.400 That was really, really a horrible incident.

00:32:51.400 Two young girls lost their lives.

00:32:53.480 But he spared a guy.

00:32:54.860 And he said, no, you go hide under behind there.

00:32:58.420 And he kept on even looking for women.

00:33:00.600 And, you know, you couldn't get anybody, any of the victims to speak out against them.

00:33:04.800 I, you know, the work that you and I did at the time, we found out that this guy had earlier that in Pakistan with his father, we found out that his brother was before the courts on serious drugs and weapons charges.

00:33:16.080 They found a whole cache of weapons and arsenal in the apartment.

00:33:20.460 The parents were never charged.

00:33:22.380 You know, if there was guns in your house, there would be, you know, charges, at least, you know, a little bit of explaining to do.

00:33:28.280 But everything was glossed over.

00:33:30.200 And then, you know, you don't even see that if you mention anything about that.

00:33:34.560 They don't call it a terror attack.

00:33:36.240 And this was a terror attack as well.

00:33:38.420 And I think we have a massive failure here.

00:33:40.680 Failure of police, of prosecutors, of politicians, and the press, let alone our immigration system.

00:33:47.340 We'll cap it there, but I know that you are the one journalist in the mainstream media who talks about the issues that everyone else is too terrified to cover.

00:33:58.000 So keep up the great work, Joe.

00:33:59.040 We'll continue to read your column.

00:34:02.240 Right there you have it, Joe Warmington from the Toronto Sun.

00:34:05.720 And a must-read column.

00:34:06.600 I tell you, especially over the last four months, absolutely indispensable coverage of this war of civilization.

00:34:12.980 Stay with us.

00:34:13.580 More ahead.

00:34:14.020 Hey, welcome back.

00:34:26.680 Your letters to me, Bill J. said.

00:34:29.340 It would have been even worse with protests if it was in Toronto.

00:34:32.700 Every single video from the media said the same thing about Tucker as if taken from a script from the government.

00:34:38.320 Well, you know, I was online with social media and citizen journalists, and it was overwhelmingly excitement that Tucker Carlson was willing to call out Justin Trudeau in blunt language.

00:34:51.360 And sometimes someone who's got some arm's-length distance from the situation has fresh perspectives.

00:34:57.100 And by the way, when you have almost 10,000 people in Edmonton and 4,000 in Calgary, that's a lot of people who saw things firsthand.

00:35:02.860 I found it very energizing to be out there.

00:35:06.260 Vula says, Canadians at this point in time need to come together and put away our politeness in order to save our country.

00:35:13.400 Oh, you know what?

00:35:14.320 What a refuge of scoundrels to say, oh, you guys aren't—the leader of the opposition isn't opposing us in the right tone.

00:35:21.580 We want to tell the official opposition how they can criticize us.

00:35:25.840 And if they don't criticize us in a way that we instruct them to do, we're going to call it violence.

00:35:30.880 Well, of course they are, because then they'll ban it.

00:35:34.600 Angel of a Million Years says, Rebel, please invite Tucker to hold an assembly in each of the provinces.

00:35:40.220 Keep up the good work.

00:35:41.600 Well, I'd love to bring Tucker Carlson to Ontario.

00:35:44.440 Trouble is, he's an extremely busy person, and he's got a big speaking fee.

00:35:48.300 But hopefully one day it'll be possible.

00:35:51.220 Well, that's our show for the day, and that wraps up the week.

00:35:53.940 What an amazing week on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at home.

00:35:58.800 Good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
