Hello, my friends. I just want to talk about disinformation. That's normally the accusation
00:00:05.580
that the government makes of independent journalists they don't like, but holy smokes
00:00:09.840
has there been disinformation over the last two days by official sources about the murderer at
00:00:16.140
Tumblr Ridge. Just incredible. I'll take you through some of the craziest moments.
00:00:20.640

Tonight, what's the real problem in Tumblr Ridge, B.C.? It's February 12th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:11.540
Hey, we're talking about something really dark, but permit me to show you two quick jokes from the late
00:01:18.600
comedian Norm MacDonald. It's a very dry sense of humor. Not everyone gets it, but I think he was
00:01:25.220
sort of a subversive conservative in his own way. Here are two jokes, and they're actually in a way
00:01:31.040
structured the identical way. In a way, they're the same joke, and they're making the same point.
00:01:36.780
Here's the first one. Norm delivered it so deadpan that neither of his guests even realized
00:01:46.380
Well, I can't say my friend's name, but he said his biggest fear
00:02:03.520
and explode it over a major city within the United States
00:02:08.540
and kill tens of millions of people, because then
00:02:15.860
the blowback against innocent Muslims would be absolutely terrible.
00:02:23.500
Now, here's the same sort of joke, but on a smaller scale, talking about the terrible revelations
00:02:30.420
that fellow comedian Bill Cosby had drugged and raped women. Again, not the sort of thing most
00:02:38.220
comedians would joke about, but he's making the same point, isn't he?
00:02:46.080
You do, huh? I mean, there was a comedian, Patton Oswalt, he told me,
00:02:49.400
I think the worst part of the Cosby thing was the hypocrisy, and I disagreed.
00:03:01.100
That's my feeling, most rapists are hypocrites.
00:03:04.260
You don't meet many and go, I like raping, and I know it's not politically correct, but by God,
00:03:10.420
people go, well, he's not being a hypocrite, and that's the worst part.
00:03:13.900
If you missed it, the real problem with ISIS dropping a dirty bomb over New York
00:03:18.300
isn't the political blowback on Muslims, it's that ISIS dropped a dirty bomb over New York.
00:03:24.860
And the real problem with Bill Cosby raping women isn't the hypocrisy, it's the raping.
00:03:31.640
Now, maybe you see a theme here, so let me ask you, and by you, I mean the bulk of the
00:03:35.600
regime media, I don't actually mean you, what do you think is the most important part of the story
00:03:42.300
Is it the mass murder committed by a drugged-up psychopath, or is it some people call that
00:03:48.820
drugged-up psychopath he, instead of his chosen pronoun she?
00:03:59.620
It's a couple minutes long, but you've just got to watch it.
00:04:01.880
I just kept watching, and watching, and watching.
00:04:10.780
A deadly shooting at a secondary school in a remote part of Canada.
00:04:17.160
The attacker was described as a female in a dress with brown hair.
00:04:21.660
So here's what we know about a tragic day in a place called Tumblr Ridge.
00:04:26.500
It took police two minutes to respond to calls from the local high school, but they weren't
00:04:34.000
Students were barricading themselves in the classrooms, using desks and chairs to block
00:04:39.920
Parents were waiting at the town hall to hear about the fate of their children.
00:04:44.940
There was another shooting in a nearby home with two fatalities there, and the police believe
00:04:50.580
this shooting was connected to the school attack.
00:04:53.460
Tumblr Ridge is a small, isolated community in the province of British Columbia, a 13-hour
00:05:01.720
It's close-knit, with a population of just over 2,000 people.
00:05:12.200
Car doors and front doors, they all remain unlocked, and your business tends to be the
00:05:19.140
And that's why I think this will come as such a shock to Canadians.
00:05:23.460
You can see the premier of British Columbia struggling to find the right words here in
00:05:29.560
It's hard to know what to say on a night like tonight.
00:05:31.660
This is the kind of thing that feels like it happens in other places and not close to
00:05:36.480
home in a way that this feels for so many British Columbians and Canadians.
00:05:41.940
School shootings are something that happen south of the border.
00:05:44.720
In the United States, not in Canada, the last time something like this happened, it was in
00:05:53.240
You have to do a training course to get a license.
00:05:56.460
And if you own a gun, you have to register it with the police.
00:05:59.520
You can't just walk into Walmart and buy yourself an assault rifle.
00:06:05.760
The police say the attacker was dead when they found her.
00:06:08.180
She had a self-inflicted wound and she matched the description given in an earlier police
00:06:22.820
I think we will struggle to determine the why, but we're going to try and do our best to
00:06:27.640
determine what transpired that day and what led up to this tragic event.
00:06:32.380
That is a candid assessment from a member of a deeply shocked community.
00:06:37.080
He literally said it's super rare for women to do a mass shooting.
00:06:41.620
I thought that's exactly where he was going to say, well, this was a man.
00:06:51.220
It is super rare for a woman to engage in a mass shooting and it did not happen in Tumblr
00:07:04.020
Is that the media, the Latin word for the middle, as in they'll connect you to the information?
00:07:10.540
Are they really giving you the information or are they doing the complete opposite of reporting
00:07:15.700
Are they trying, in fact, deliberately to obscure information, to hide the truth from you, trying
00:07:21.320
That's what it's called when you spread a falsehood on purpose.
00:07:27.540
A lot of the people who tell you about disinformation and fake news and that you can only trust them,
00:07:34.860
When it's something they are trying to sell you.
00:07:36.880
We saw this endlessly during COVID, didn't they?
00:07:50.380
You know it's bad, like COVID times, when the regime media spends more time trying to criticize
00:07:56.380
and fact-check independent journalists who dare to dissent rather than doing their own journalism.
00:08:04.120
They're spending more effort on anti-journalism than on journalism, trying to undermine alternative
00:08:13.800
I mean, these people are raging that they don't control all information.
00:08:17.860
They're for censorship because they hate when a dissenting point of view is allowed.
00:08:25.740
Inflammatory claims about Tumblr-ridged shooter identity surge as elected official claims trans
00:08:36.820
The far-right U.S. commentators have argued that transgender people commit a disproportionate
00:08:45.900
Well, I tell you, those inflammatory claims, you don't say.
00:08:50.000
As Norm Macdonald might joke if he were around, I thought the mass murdering part was the
00:08:57.540
So this is by Alex Boyd, a staff reporter for the Toronto Star.
00:09:01.280
The initial alert sent from police to local Tumblr Ridge, B.C. residents described the suspect
00:09:06.380
as a, quote, female in a dress with brown hair.
00:09:10.020
According to media reports, the unusual wording seemed to trigger speculation about the shooter's
00:09:17.500
I think some people chose to interpret that as a trans person, says Blaine Badiuk, a trans
00:09:24.580
woman and conservative political commentator who grew up in Grand Prairie, just across
00:09:31.900
Okay, why did they call Blaine Badiuk a trans woman, but they didn't use that same descriptor
00:09:40.000
I mean, why did they pretty much disclose that Blaine isn't a real woman, but why did
00:09:44.940
they hide it or abide the hiding of it for the murderer?
00:09:50.900
Police would later say that the shooter was known to them and had previously been apprehended
00:09:55.680
under the Provincial Mental Health Act and hospitalized, quote, in some circumstances.
00:10:02.740
In fact, I saw a report today that police interacted with him and his family, either in person or
00:10:13.280
And like I say, police are so afraid of even misgendering him.
00:10:16.400
Were they also afraid politically to arrest him?
00:10:19.980
Given all his bizarre outbursts and danger, if you're afraid to call a guy he instead of
00:10:30.420
That should be the focus, said Badiuk, who remembers well the scarcity of mental health
00:10:34.280
resources in remote northern resource towns, that we have a mental health crisis on our
00:10:41.340
Okay, are you saying that transgenderism is a mental health crisis or being pumped with
00:10:50.820
But online, the shooter's suspected transgender identity was frequently emphasized, even before
00:10:58.620
What does that mean, something's officially confirmed?
00:11:04.520
What independent journalist learned something by researching?
00:11:11.620
Juno News, our friends over there, they didn't wait until some government office told them they
00:11:22.820
Do we have to wait for someone official to tell us now it's okay to publish the truth?
00:11:29.800
Does any other murderer get that kind of treatment from the media?
00:11:34.960
They're literally using the killer's first name, like he's a friend or something.
00:11:39.880
Maybe they're doing that to avoid saying he or she.
00:11:44.560
The RCMP say that there had been several mental health related calls to Jesse's home in recent
00:11:55.260
Police say Jesse had been apprehended for assessment and follow-up related to mental health.
00:12:02.740
The Globe and Mail is reporting Jesse had recently returned from receiving psychiatric care in Prince
00:12:09.220
George and had previously set a fire in the family home.
00:12:13.700
We know Jesse dropped out of school about four years ago.
00:12:17.840
Police also told us Jesse began transitioning from male to female about two years before that.
00:12:26.820
It would be like saying Adolf instead of Hitler.
00:12:30.000
Or on a smaller scale, it would be like talking about Paul Bernardo and saying,
00:12:34.620
Paul, and Paul said this, and Paul said that, or Clifford Olson, and Cliff said this.
00:12:44.560
Right wing outlet Juno News ran an interview with the alleged shooter's family member who
00:12:52.580
The name Juno used was different than the one eventually given by police.
00:12:59.540
Now, I think it's probably fair to call Juno News right wing, but I think they're pretty
00:13:05.180
Like, I think they're sort of peer poly of right wing, like 40% of the population right
00:13:20.360
There's certainly no further out there on the right than the star is on the left.
00:13:24.160
So, Juno News confirmed the facts with the murderer's family.
00:13:30.980
But the star said they were supposed to wait until officials gave the green light to reporters
00:13:44.300
The murderer, who is legally called Jesse Van Rutzler, actually went by the family name.
00:13:57.260
So, why would the police say, no, no, no, it's Jesse Rutzler, when he went by Jesse String?
00:14:01.680
I think it's obvious because Jesse String is the name the murderer used with his endless
00:14:10.840
I think the police didn't want people to Google the name he used online, and the star agrees
00:14:17.080
They're really mad that Juno News is using the killer's name that he used online.
00:14:23.920
That same evening, Tara Armstrong, the MLA for a central British Columbia rioting, who
00:14:28.820
was elected as a conservative but is now independent, tweeted to almost 15,000 followers that there
00:14:33.920
is, quote, an epidemic of transgender violence spreading across the West, citing Tumblr Ridge
00:14:43.520
As Norm MacDonald would say, maybe the murderer is the worst part here.
00:14:49.240
This epidemic of violence will continue until we change our society's response to transgender
00:14:56.080
Armstrong did not respond to requests for an interview, as transgender rights in general
00:15:03.960
Far-right commentators there have argued in recent years that transgender people commit
00:15:08.600
a disproportionate share of crimes, a claim not borne out by statistics.
00:15:14.400
GLAAD, a non-profit U.S.-based organization that advocates for the LGBTQ community, says there's
00:15:21.340
no evidence of escalating violence committed by LGBTQ people, but points to a trend of social
00:15:26.220
media accounts blaming transgender people before facts are known.
00:15:41.200
As of last fall, factcheck.org calculated that less than 0.1% of shootings in the U.S.
00:15:53.440
But by going back to 2013 and just all shootings, I think, I mean, and transgenderism was really
00:16:01.180
I think you're cherry picking early data when transgenderism was, before transgenderism was
00:16:06.560
weaponized both politically and enabled medically by pumping confused teams full of drugs and
00:16:14.140
Now, of course, fewer than 1% of Americans are transgender.
00:16:17.700
So, of course, the absolute number of shootings will be small.
00:16:21.020
But even if these stats are right, even if the lobby groups, they quote, are convincing that
00:16:27.280
it's not a disproportionate number of murders, so what?
00:16:34.520
Like Norm MacDonald said, is that really the terrible thing here?
00:16:37.620
That a politician said there's too much of this kind of violence and a transgender lobby
00:16:44.960
There's just the normal amount of violence here.
00:16:52.160
Nevertheless, other posts spread a different message.
00:16:54.220
In a post to Twitter Thursday night, the pleb reporter, an influencer who recently attended
00:16:58.180
the Federal Conservative Convention on a content creator pass, what a weird attempt at guilt
00:17:04.000
by association, apologized to his 172,000 followers for posting pictures of a person he claimed was
00:17:18.120
It's identifying the wrong person isn't great, but it's not a malicious political decision.
00:17:22.140
It's not a commentary on transgenderism, but boy, they're working hard to discredit
00:17:26.360
independent voices and to link it to the conservatives.
00:17:29.100
He said he took down the tweet within minutes and had asked that other accounts do the same, adding that speed is never an excuse for inaccuracy.
00:17:37.740
However, a screenshot at least appears to live on, having been shared by actor James Woods, who sent it out to his 5 million followers.
00:17:44.280
In it, the pleb referred to the person in the photos as a trans lunatic and said the RCMP was hiding the truth.
00:17:50.920
The pleb declined an interview, but in a statement said that it was now known that the shooter was transgender.
00:17:57.260
In fact, he argued both police and media had obscured.
00:18:00.180
I do not assert that all transgender people are inherently violent, and I have never said so, he wrote.
00:18:05.060
Yet from my observation, media reporting has persistently and selectively downplayed cases involving trans-identified individuals in mass shootings, as they have in this case.
00:18:14.360
But doesn't he know he's not allowed to have that opinion?
00:18:19.080
The only political opinion you're allowed to graft onto a horrific tragedy like this is the need to ban more guns.
00:18:29.320
I'll bet you a dollar he talks about gun control, because that's the good kind of politicizing a murder, isn't it?
00:18:35.220
On Wednesday afternoon, police said that the person behind one of Canada's worst mass shootings was transgender.
00:18:39.780
Speaking to media, RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne MacDonald identified the shooter who killed family members at home before turning a gun on random students at a local school in northern BC,
00:18:49.880
as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rutzler, saying she was born male but had transitioned six years ago.
00:18:58.300
We're not hiding it, he said when pressed about the online speculation that had bubbled up in the day between the shooting and Wednesday's press conference.
00:19:16.640
That's what they said in their emergency cell phone message, too.
00:19:28.440
I will say this, we identify the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media.
00:19:34.000
He added, before stressing that it was too early to say whether Van Rutzler's gender identity had any correlation to the investigation.
00:19:42.320
So you're respecting the political wishes of a mass murderer.
00:19:49.280
I'm not going to keep reading it, it's just more of the same.
00:19:51.340
Running defense, not only for the murderer, but for transgenderism and the right kind of politicization.
00:20:02.360
They're the problem here because they embarrass transgenderism, including the young children who were shot.
00:20:10.220
You see, the real issue here is about the misgendering and about being anti-trans.
00:20:28.720
Cosmin Georgia, one of their contributors, was the first to confirm that the murderer in northern B.C. was a transgender extremist.
00:20:39.600
The rest of the media were following the RCMP line of using weird language like gun person or a female in a dress.
00:20:50.520
But Juno News actually made phone calls late at night into the town and connected with neighbors and friends and family members.
00:21:02.340
Juno News also is the publication in which our friend Melanie Bennett writes.
00:21:07.460
We're delighted to join her now to talk about some disturbing news in the province of Ontario.
00:21:15.320
Congratulations to Juno News on such a big week.
00:21:18.380
I want to talk about two things that you've brought to our attention.
00:21:24.660
Ontario Students to Learn About Anti-Semitism from Anti-Israel Group.
00:21:38.360
Tell me who will be teaching Ontario students about Jews.
00:21:41.900
Yeah, so Independent Jewish Voices is an organization that says it represents Jews, but they're anti-Zionists, essentially.
00:21:55.900
And the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario have hired Independent Jewish Voices to write training materials,
00:22:05.140
which will down the line end up training teachers, I imagine, through the union.
00:22:11.180
And ETFO has been an interesting union when it comes to anti-Zionism and some of the downstream effects of that in the province.
00:22:21.240
So that was called out by CJA, who were, you know, upset that they were maybe some larger organizations that represent Jewish people in Canada were not consulted.
00:22:35.160
I also spoke to B'nai B'rith, who also made a statement along the lines of they would have been happy to provide some training for them, but they were not contacted.
00:22:42.740
So it's interesting that the ETFO, I believe the largest teachers union,
00:22:46.180
I think it's the largest teachers union in the province, chose a fringe group of radicals to provide resources.
00:22:55.660
Yeah, I've encountered these Independent Jewish Voices, and the only thing Jewish about them is the name.
00:23:04.460
If you see these Jews denouncing Israel, denouncing Zionism, it's immediately confusing.
00:23:11.420
You sometimes see some ultra-Orthodox Jews who wear the traditional garb, and they're marching with Hamas also.
00:23:28.160
It would be as if there was a movement called Blacks for the KKK.
00:23:32.720
I mean, it would be so confusing and startling.
00:23:37.800
So to choose this self-loathing group to teach Ontario children about anti-Semitism is pure malice.
00:23:49.160
It would be better not to teach them anything at all than to allow these saboteurs in.
00:23:56.780
Well, listen, I'm not Jewish, but if I wanted someone representing my views,
00:24:02.500
I'd want groups that represent at least the majority view of that particular community.
00:24:07.240
And as far as I understand, Independent and Jewish Voices certainly does not do that.
00:24:12.540
I don't think it's a surprise that EDFO would go do that,
00:24:14.980
because the unions just seem to be increasingly radicalized on so many different topics,
00:24:19.700
not even just, you know, this anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, but across the board.
00:24:27.880
So a very disappointed decision that they would do that.
00:24:30.140
You know, I think the better analogy, I just tried an analogy of a black Klansman.
00:24:36.200
I think a better one would be all these women's groups, women's magazines, women's awards,
00:24:43.180
who in recent years have been, you know, woman of the year is actually a man,
00:24:50.920
I think that's the better analogy, is who would you send into school to teach about women's rights
00:25:06.180
I mean, it's so audacious, it's hard to fathom.
00:25:10.040
But that's exactly what this Independent Jewish Voices is.
00:25:13.440
It's like the transgenders of the Jewish faith.
00:25:19.780
I don't want to spend too much more time on it, because just a moment ago,
00:25:22.760
you told me what you're doing in the city of Ottawa.
00:25:26.840
And I'd like to invite you to tell our viewers, what are you doing there?
00:25:46.460
And they noticed some of the coverage that I was putting out about some of the incidences
00:25:54.180
They put together an event to advocate to designate the Muslim Brotherhood in Canada.
00:26:00.940
And I was invited to speak about the things that I found in schools,
00:26:04.420
some of the reporting that I'd published about schools.
00:26:12.440
We had a whole day of delegations from different experts, researchers.
00:26:26.160
Now, one of the focuses, I think, is on the Muslim Brotherhood, which is not a formal organization.
00:26:34.860
I mean, it does manifest itself in corporations and groups and mosques.
00:26:43.760
It's more an idea or a loose affiliation or an identity.
00:26:47.440
It would be like someone saying, I'm a hipster.
00:26:56.500
Some countries have banned the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:27:00.760
For example, the United Arab Emirates in particular.
00:27:03.280
Tell me about the Muslim Brotherhood in Canada.
00:27:08.140
Because, first of all, maybe give a moment to our viewers.
00:27:16.360
And what does the Muslim Brotherhood do around the world?
00:27:27.020
It's who ascribe to the teachings of a person called Hassan al-Banna, who in the late 1920s
00:27:35.100
wanted to create a global caliphate, if you will.
00:27:43.600
He wanted, yeah, and so it's a sort of supremacist Islamic ideology that has spread across many
00:27:54.440
You're correct that the, I don't know how you designate an ideology, but it has been
00:28:00.820
treated as extremist and banned in several Middle Eastern countries, including the UAE.
00:28:07.580
I believe Saudi Arabia and Egypt, its original home.
00:28:11.500
So in the Middle East, they understand that it is a dangerous ideology and that it does
00:28:16.260
interfere with the regular functioning of society.
00:28:20.420
But in the West, we haven't been as forthcoming with that.
00:28:25.020
The UK did put out a report, I believe in 2015, warning about the dangers of this particular
00:28:32.260
ideology and the presence of its followers within the UK.
00:28:39.040
Just as a side note, if people didn't know, Hamas is the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:28:45.260
And many of the terrorist organizations that are famous are linked in one way or another
00:28:56.480
And to see organizations affiliated by and named by other organizations as in Canada, being
00:29:03.520
affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, to find presence of that within the K-12 education
00:29:09.200
I'll say in Canada, there's an organization called the National Council of Canadian Muslims
00:29:15.080
Before that, they were called CARE-CAN, Council of American Islamic Relations.
00:29:22.340
It was the Canadian branch of a U.S. group that was an unindicted co-conspirator in terrorism
00:29:32.820
That NCCM is the leading Islamic advocacy group in Canada.
00:29:38.200
That's where, for example, a lot of the, you know, that's where the former anti-Islamophobia
00:29:47.440
activist position that Justin Trudeau appointed came from.
00:29:54.420
Tell me a little bit about the activities, if you can, of the NCCM or some of their officials
00:30:11.560
It's almost, I don't know, I'm trying to think of it, an Anglo equivalent.
00:30:17.420
It might, I suppose it might be like being a mason.
00:30:20.380
I think the Antifa is a pretty good, I think it's a pretty good comparison, this set of
00:30:24.380
So a lot of extremists aren't going to say, I'm Antifa.
00:30:28.440
So some of the activities here in Ottawa currently?
00:30:31.680
Well, I mean, tell me a little bit more what's going on with the Muslim Brotherhood in
00:30:40.200
Tell me some of the Islamic advocacy that's going on.
00:30:43.860
Well, I found it curious that I was invited to a delegation yesterday to designate the
00:30:49.480
And it's interesting you bring up NCCM because they put out a post denouncing this meeting,
00:30:55.600
And isn't it terrible that these people are having a meeting to designate the thing that
00:30:59.380
doesn't exist, but we're very upset that the meeting's happening.
00:31:02.280
And then today, I just, right before talking with you, I noticed on Twitter that one of
00:31:09.120
our MPs, Salma Zaid, posted about a meeting between herself and the Prime Minister and other
00:31:16.420
MPs with some, the CEO of NCCM, also some people associated with other groups, including the
00:31:25.820
Muslim Association of Canada and CMPAC, and also the Canadian Muslim Vote.
00:31:32.260
But certainly leaders that I found curious, given some of the things that we've discovered,
00:31:39.600
So in the CRA, the Canada Revenue Agency, put out an audit, or did an audit over a period of
00:31:46.680
several years about the financial dealings of the Muslim Association of Canada.
00:31:51.480
And it identified in this rather large audit, I read over 300 pages of different documents.
00:31:59.840
And they very plainly said that there was connections and affiliations.
00:32:04.780
And this is the CRA, that there were connections and affiliations with the Muslim Brotherhood
00:32:11.860
Now, they were trying to have, they were trying to remove the charitable status, but MAC had
00:32:22.140
appealed, and they've retained their charitable status.
00:32:25.620
And there are some financial penalties for that, but they've retained it.
00:32:29.600
And so a lot of these groups are being linked and identified and then continue to advocate
00:32:38.820
Like I said, today meeting with the Prime Minister, a day after we had a meeting to designate them.
00:32:46.380
You know, it's funny because it was, you know, the name that was on the tip of my tongue
00:32:53.500
She was Trudeau's anti-Islamophobia captain or ambassador.
00:32:58.000
She's still very much being deployed, as is the NCCM.
00:33:03.000
It sounds like the meeting that you documented, where all these activists were meeting with
00:33:07.900
the Prime Minister, it sounds like Mark Carney is saying, all right, we're going to remove
00:33:11.860
that one official position, but I am at the disposal of any advocates or activists in
00:33:20.000
It sounds like it was sort of an apology tour by Mark Carney for shutting down this anti-Islamophobia
00:33:27.120
Well, it's funny you mention that because, sorry, I don't have, I'd have to double check
00:33:31.920
this, but I believe that the meeting today happening that was posted is in fact to talk
00:33:36.660
about this new equity department after the elimination of both the Islamophobia and the
00:33:44.120
So it looks like it has to do with, with this, um, I can't remember the exact title of the
00:33:49.540
office, but the new equity office, the anti-hate office.
00:33:55.620
I, uh, I don't deny that there are some anti-Semitic Jews, uh, going back to our earlier
00:34:02.920
Because I look at who is generally considered the front runner in the NDP's leadership race.
00:34:09.100
And it's a guy about my age named Avi Lewis, son of Stephen Lewis, um, longtime political
00:34:16.960
And he and his wife, Naomi Klein, are being basically communists.
00:34:20.460
I don't think they would deny that for the whole lives.
00:34:23.260
And he is running his chief campaign platform is an anti-Israel platform.
00:34:31.920
He and his wife are about as Jewish as a ham sandwich, but they are Jewish and they are the
00:34:38.560
kind of Jews who would be in this independent voices, Jewish voices group.
00:34:43.840
What's interesting to me is Jagmeet Singh was, you know, created in a laboratory to be the worst
00:34:53.340
So all the left-wing votes would coalesce behind Justin Trudeau.
00:34:58.920
In fact, in the last election, I think the NDP got what?
00:35:05.680
I think Avi Lewis, as strange as it sounds, a nominally Jewish politician, if he wins, could
00:35:18.060
You see that in the UK where the Green Party, the deputy leader of the Green Party is an
00:35:25.700
Like it's a very strange combination of self-loathing Jews, environmental extremists and Islamic
00:35:33.940
I think the Green Party in the UK is really on the move.
00:35:39.660
And perhaps this move with Mark Carney meeting with all the Islamist activists is his way
00:35:47.100
Because if Avi Lewis actually becomes the leader of the NDP and attracts the anti-Semites and
00:35:52.320
the anti-Israel activists, the Liberal Party of Canada is going to have some competition
00:35:57.160
Yeah, at the end of the day, it seems to me that this so-called Islamo-leftist alliance
00:36:06.140
has less to do with Israel or being Jewish and more to do with hating the West and having
00:36:18.380
It seems to me like that's been the case in places like Iran during the Iranian Revolution.
00:36:25.900
We're seeing it in the UK right now, as you say, whether it's the Green Party or the
00:36:34.360
Who then they extracted themselves from the Labour, which was not far left enough, created
00:36:41.160
And you see, obviously, the Islamist MPs joining the Green Party as well.
00:36:55.160
They wish to eliminate Western liberal democracy, whether you call it anti-capitalism or whatever
00:37:04.680
Because again, in Iran, once the revolution is over, this alliance cannot stand.
00:37:17.960
And it's unfortunate that we haven't learned our lessons.
00:37:20.800
And I would like to avoid seeing that in Canada.
00:37:28.740
Sometimes I fear we've gone past the point of no return.
00:37:32.260
I'm encouraged by Nigel Farage becoming bolder every day.
00:37:39.920
I mean, his latest comments refer to one million Brits who don't even speak English.
00:37:45.740
I mean, here's a little videotape of Nigel Farage addressing this.
00:37:50.160
It was actually a football club owner who first said, we are being colonized by foreigners.
00:37:56.380
That got a shocking tut-tut, including from the prime minister.
00:37:59.920
But Nigel Farage, I think, is slowly finding his courage.
00:38:03.420
So Jim Ratcliffe, one of the richest Britons in the world, of course, the boss of INEOS
00:38:07.100
and now a major shareholder in Manchester United Football Club, has caused outrage by his comments.
00:38:15.300
Well, he said that our population has gone up from 58 million to 70 million.
00:38:20.980
And that with 9 million people of working age on benefits, we don't need mass migration.
00:38:27.100
He said much of the country had been colonized by immigrants.
00:38:32.960
And he said, OK, if you don't like the word, we'll tone it down.
00:38:37.920
You ask yourself why public services have diminished.
00:38:41.460
You ask yourself why rents have gone through the roof.
00:38:46.720
And then you look at parts of London, for example, where the road names, the underground signs,
00:38:56.300
One million people living in this country don't speak any English at all.
00:38:59.660
Four million people, four million people living in this country, barely speak passable English.
00:39:05.220
And that's the point that he was making, that big areas of our towns and cities have been changed
00:39:10.760
into something completely different to what they were, and that it's all making us poorer.
00:39:17.120
And I don't really care if number 10 is in uproar, or if much of mainstream media find his comments too difficult.
00:39:31.100
I just, I fear that, you know, demographics is destiny and we've just gone too far.
00:39:36.860
Are you hopeful or do you think we're past the tipping point?
00:39:47.740
Just because something isn't necessarily in the headlines right now doesn't mean that people will not realize.
00:39:52.100
If we, listen, you were talking about Cosmin Georgia, my boss, who cracked open the story about the trans shooter.
00:39:59.360
Now, trans was not so much in, or the issues around that were not as prevalent in the media several years ago, right?
00:40:09.260
And certainly True North and Juneau News and yourselves helped bring some of these issues into the forefront.
00:40:13.680
And now many, many people are aware of a lot of the issues associated with that.
00:40:16.980
And so sometimes it just takes a little bit of persistence and repeating the message over and over for people to start hearing about it.
00:40:24.040
But you talked about the UK and one of the differences I find with the media environment in the UK compared to Canada is that we don't have a lot of so-called conservative or right-wing media in a more mainstream way in Canada.
00:40:40.900
Whereas the UK does have that, they might be panned by people because obviously, you know, on the right equals evil still in the UK, but it exists.
00:40:50.540
And we struggle to bring that, we struggle to bring alternative opinions in Canada because of this media environment.
00:40:57.200
But certainly we do our best and I think that we've done a really great job.
00:41:03.740
I think it just takes a little bit of time and effort.
00:41:05.400
Yeah, I think you may be referring to GB News, which is just a great conservative Islamic skeptic broadcaster.
00:41:17.920
We had that in Canada for about 10 minutes called the Sun News Network until Prime Minister Stephen Harper allowed the CRTC to destroy it,
00:41:27.500
which is, I think, one of his gravest long-term errors he made as a prime minister.
00:41:34.780
Melanie Bennett, it is so great to see you again.
00:41:37.640
You're always doing such interesting stuff and you're always so well informed about your subjects.
00:41:45.900
Thank you for taking the time with us today and congratulations on your work.
00:42:10.060
Jamie Heather says, just like poisoning is known as a woman's crime, a mass shooting, especially at a school with the inclusion of the perp committing suicide, is a man's crime.
00:42:20.260
Well, for whatever reason, crime is disproportionately male.
00:42:23.860
I've never heard poisoning called a women's crime, but I suppose I could see why it is.
00:42:28.860
It is, I can't even think of a mass murder committed by a woman other than some recent cases in the States of a transgender female to male who is so pumped full of rage-inducing testosterone that I really think it was a psychoactive moment.
00:42:44.640
That you can only pump so many hormones into someone without having them go nuts.
00:42:52.640
Sun 84888 says, RCMP mobilizes dozens of officers to murder innocent ostriches, but gives guns back to a deranged, mentally unstable creep.
00:43:13.380
And I just learned today, I mentioned this in my monologue, that the police interacted with this guy 60 times, but obviously they were too afraid to do anything for political reasons.
00:43:24.420
Code Jam Man says, the only reason the mainstream media reported on it was because of the body count.
00:43:29.420
I'm sure the transgender part they would have loved to bury, but they couldn't because of independent news organization like yours brought it to the public.
00:43:36.360
The liberal government will use this and twist it to follow their own agenda, whatever it is.
00:43:40.080
We'll see, because remember, Mark Carney's own daughter has transed to be a man, and she's an activist about it.
00:43:49.680
You know, it's so crazy that I think that the police are so afraid of doing or saying anything that could be taken as anti-trans in some way.
00:44:11.660
I think that's why they let this guy stay in the community, despite his crazy outbursts, keep his guns, 60 interactions with police.
00:44:27.960
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
