00:03:09.700a crowd of pedestrians injuring four people before it flipped over. Police say the driver
00:03:15.260resisted arrest, so officers tased him. That allowed officers to remove him from the U-Haul
00:03:20.600truck and arrest him. We were all in shock, and we were all scared as hell. Authorities
00:03:25.920believe the driver, a 30-year-old Somali national, acted alone. Canada is investigating this
00:03:31.640as potential acts of terrorism. Now, that trip to Israel, though, to discuss things that are
00:03:38.720pertinent to Edmonton policing was enough to trigger outrage from the NCCM, and more than
00:03:45.140two dozen affiliated organizations, some demanded answers, some demanded apologies for some reason,
00:03:51.820some suggested that if they didn't like the answers, the chief should resign.
00:03:57.660According to these newly released records, Mayor Knack appears to have treated those groups not
00:04:03.340simply as one voice among many to be considered, but as the primary voice that police leadership
00:04:10.120should be listening to exclusively. In one email to the police chief and police commission chair,
00:04:17.660the best starting point for organizations to engage with is the letter sent by NCCM,
00:04:24.420which lists out many organizations. Think about that. Not the police commission, not city hall,
00:04:30.940while not affiliated communities or affected communities, the best starting point was the
00:04:37.560NCCM letter. Then the mayor went further, referring to the demands made in the NCCM-backed letter,
00:04:44.080NAC wrote, I think the three questions that community have raised are reasonable questions
00:04:50.000to be answers. Again, that's not neutral, that's not detached, that's not just passing along
00:04:56.300concerns, the mayor was validating the demands of the activist coalition leading the campaign
00:05:02.940against the chief, demanding answers on behalf of these activist groups. Then came perhaps the
00:05:11.160most remarkable passage in our entire disclosure. NAC told the police leadership, finally, NCCM
00:05:19.040would like to meet with council and both of you all together. Our office is more than willing to
00:05:25.920help coordinate. And then he added, this would be hosted by NCCM and they would be leading the
00:05:34.060meeting. Sounds more like a struggle session. The mayor's office was offering to coordinate a
00:05:40.240meeting hosted and led by the very organization spearheading the pressure campaign against the
00:05:47.320police chief. And again, the police chief's crime going to Israel and with other North American
00:05:55.000police leadership on issues relating to urban terrorism. And it didn't stop there.
00:06:04.440NAC even recommended the NCCM connected individuals as sources for advice for police leadership
00:06:11.640because they had supposedly been taking calls and meetings nonstop since the controversy began.
00:06:17.980So I think we need to ask the obvious question here. Where was this deference when it came to Edmonton's Jewish community? Because those same ATIP records contain a message from the Jewish Federation of Edmonton defending Chief Dreichel.
00:06:34.800the federation warned that a small group of activists was targeting the chief simply because1.00
00:06:40.280he participated in a professional development mission to israel and they were right the federation
00:06:46.320also raised concerns about rising anti-semitism and warned that anti-israel activism is increasingly1.00
00:06:52.320being used as a vehicle for radicalization and hostility towards jewish people they're right
00:06:57.900now again we should remember the timing here none of this is happening in a vacuum
00:07:02.700Across Canada, anti-Semitic incidents have exploded since October 7th.
00:08:24.040Chief Dreichel ultimately refused to apologize.
00:08:27.380good for him I think I'll go back to this has been a long-standing trip this
00:08:32.540delegation has gone on for a number of years I mean I don't think at any time
00:08:36.800you can anticipate the geopolitics of next week or what's going to occur you
00:08:42.620know I think when you reflect on North America you reflect on our communities
00:08:47.900there are populations that are represented by the populations of Israel
00:08:52.260whether they're Jewish or Muslim and you know I think it's important as police
00:08:56.420leaders when we go to these countries we understand what's occurring there and how it's informing
00:09:01.300what's going on in our own cities in our own country. Dreichel defended the trip, stood by his
00:09:05.580decision and rejected the idea that activist groups should dictate where police leaders can
00:09:10.480learn about public safety and security. Good for him. But the AATIP records reveal something else.
00:09:17.500While the chief was standing his ground, Edmonton's mayor appears to have been undermining him,
00:09:22.980bending over backwards to accommodate the organization leading the campaign against
00:09:27.400him. And in a country experiencing record levels of anti-Semitic hate, that's a story
00:09:33.220worth paying attention to. Stay with us. Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum joins us after the1.00
00:09:39.480break. So joining us now is Daniel Pipes. He's the founder of the Middle East Forum.
00:09:52.980And I wanted to have Daniel on today to discuss what happened in the House in the United States yesterday, where four Republicans joined with the Democrats to pass a resolution to end the war in Iran.
00:10:06.740I have great concerns for what this means for the United States and for the United States government.
00:10:12.660And it leaves me wondering what Trump will do next.
00:10:16.300Daniel, tell us what happened yesterday.
00:10:21.800First, Republican members of the House and senators are finding it more and more within their means to oppose President Trump.
00:10:34.840They are less disciplined by him and more independent.
00:10:38.480Now, four members out of over 200 is not 2% less.
00:10:43.460But still, it's very meaningful that in a vote of this sort, an important vote of this sort, they're willing to join the Democrats.
00:10:52.900So President Trump is losing his control, his tight control over the House and Senate.
00:10:59.180Secondly, there is a growing sense among Americans, as reflected, I think, by this vote, that the war is not going well and that there needs to be some external constraints on it.
00:11:11.640This cannot just be the White House making all the decisions on its own.
00:11:15.480And this fits into a very large context, namely, it is supposed to be the Senate that declares war and not the president just deciding whenever he wants to go to war.
00:11:26.540So as a result of many convoluted developments, it has turned out that the president can engage in 60 days of war, but not more.
00:11:34.460And what the House vote indicates is the people's representatives are saying, that's enough.
00:11:48.040I guess my next question is, what comes next and what does this mean for the president?
00:11:52.260I mean, if the Americans pull out of the war on Iran, or at least the war in Iran, what does that mean for the safety and security of not just America, but the rest of the world?0.93
00:12:05.340I think Islamists will see this as a victory.1.00
00:15:40.520And now Trump administration, indeed, all Americans and indeed all Westerners, all civilized people are paying the price for that unplanned, spontaneous, you know, let's go with it.
00:15:52.120You can't start a war on such a basis.0.97
00:15:55.600Now, I guess my next concern is, with this retreat, potentially, of the Americans, I worry that the Islamists will see this, and I think they will, see it as a victory.0.90
00:16:13.440And so therefore, my concern is for the safety and security of the Western world, particularly as we will no doubt see IRGC-linked officials leaving Iran, coming to the Western world.0.88
00:16:28.160This is a problem that we have already in Canada where we have, depending on where your numbers are, low numbers, several hundred, other numbers say several thousand regime-linked individuals just on the streets of Canada.
00:16:42.740We are unable, thanks to our federal government, able to deport them. And so we have this festering, pernicious problem with anti-Semitism in the streets of Canada, so much so that our prime minister has convened an advisory panel, let's call it, which actually includes someone sympathetic to Hezbollah.
00:17:03.900So my concern is, what does this mean for the safety and security of the Western world with an emboldened Islamist regime in Iran?0.87
00:17:13.460On the grandest level, I believe it is a shot in the arm for the Islamist movement.0.88
00:17:19.020I've been arguing since 2013 that worldwide the Islamist movement is on the decline, not specifically in Western countries, but in the traditional Muslim majority countries, Egypt, Pakistan, and so forth.0.84
00:17:33.900and Islamist movements have been on decline.0.88
00:17:38.860And the hope was that this undertaking would lead to the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran,
00:17:46.040and that would be a turning point, such as it was in 1979 when it came to power.
00:17:51.820If it survives, and if it manages to get all sorts of benefits from this deal that's in the offing,
00:17:59.560It would be a boost to the Islamist movement, which would lead to more adherence, more violence, more enthusiasm, broadly speaking.0.89
00:18:11.900And the examples you gave of the IRGC in Canada is one detail of a much, much larger phenomenon.0.95
00:18:19.700Islamism is the most dynamic totalitarian ideology in the world today.0.98
00:18:24.840Not communism, not fascism, but Islamism.1.00
00:18:27.560Islamism. And it's been in decline now for some 14 years, 15 years. And it could be if the deal1.00
00:18:37.160is bad enough that it'll get turned around and be stronger again. That's my greatest glory.
00:18:45.080Now, you say Islamism has been in decline in the countries in the Middle East, but I would argue
00:18:51.280that it's been on the uptick here in the western world particularly in academia and um you know
00:18:58.480we saw this notably after october 7th where we had these islamist adjacent encampments in
00:19:06.000universities all over north america i think we're going to see more of that not less of that um
00:19:12.980and yeah my concern and i think um you know sources in the united states have said that
00:19:20.260many of those encampments were funded, at least in no small part, thanks to regime-linked people.
00:19:27.960Are we going to see more of that? A couple of points in response. First,
00:20:57.420So they and the encampments and many other phenomenon are really more leftist.0.58
00:21:02.960And you find more broadly, when it comes to anti-Zionism, hostility towards Israel, it is less and less a Muslim phenomenon and more and more a leftist phenomenon.
00:21:14.040It has much better relations with a variety of countries in the Middle East than it does with a variety of countries in Europe.0.51
00:21:22.240I mean, much better relations with Saudi Arabia than Spain, much, much better relations with the UAE than Sweden, and so forth.
00:21:28.740So things are changing. And the left is becoming Israel's greatest enemy. Now, the left is not engaged in violence specifically. It doesn't have armies, but it is turning Israel's traditional sympathizers into enemies, into people who see Israel as a genocidal state, terrorist state, and so forth. So I see the left actually is more important than the Islamists.
00:21:56.380Now, if you were able to bend Donald Trump's ear, given this most recent vote, what would your advice be to him?0.98
00:22:06.980I wish I could have done it back in February rather than in June.
00:22:12.220My first piece of advice would be work with your allies.
00:24:01.860Your letters to Ezra, read by me, up after the break.
00:24:13.040Well, as always, the last portion of the show goes to you, our beloved viewers at home,
00:24:16.780because without you there is no rebel news so viewer comments to Ezra first one is on Ezra's
00:24:24.560interview with Jack Hadfield on the horrific story of Henry Novak for those of you who don't
00:24:33.900know Henry Novak was a young man who was brutally murdered using a kirpan that is the ceremonial
00:24:42.800knife of Sikhs. And this happened in the UK after a very brief and nonviolent interaction between
00:24:53.660Henry and the murderer. Then the murderer's family hid the weapon. And when police came upon
00:25:03.860Henry, they treated him as though he were the perpetrator. Why? Because his murderers called
00:25:10.380the police and said that they had been racially attacked. Henry told them that he was bleeding.
00:25:18.200He had visible blood on him. His cuffed hands were white because of the wounds to him. He was
00:25:26.440bleeding. He was dying, mortally wounded. And yet the police didn't render aid to him. They cuffed
00:25:32.660him and they told him that he hadn't been stabbed. His murderers were not ever put in cuffs and the
00:25:43.300police dumped the body cam footage of what happened to Henry in the middle of the night.
00:25:50.320No police to date have been held to account for how Henry was treated in his dying moments and it
00:25:58.420is a prime example of the anti-white racial bias in policing in the UK. I mean, carrying a knife
00:26:11.760is illegal in the UK, unless you are Sikh. They get a special exemption. Now,1.00
00:26:18.300In other countries where carrying knives is illegal, Sikhs sometimes carry something other than a knife to represent their Kirpan, but that's not the case in the UK.
00:26:37.940And politicians are calling this a knife crime.
00:26:42.860I suppose technically it is, but it speaks to the broader issues unfolding in the UK.
00:26:48.300And there have not been politicians kneeling in the streets over what happened to Henry Novak.
00:26:59.980Rosa Orphano writes, it's not just the UK that there is anti-white policing.
00:27:03.980It's happening in Australia, too, especially in Victoria, which has turned into a lawless state.
00:27:07.900It's also a similar situation happened in Vancouver not all that long ago.
00:27:14.980a man was stabbed after complaining to a Sikh man who was vaping outside of, I believe it was a
00:27:25.120Starbucks. He was stabbed with a Kirpan that the man was allowed to carry. And here, like, I'm not
00:27:32.480saying we should make it so that Canadians can't carry knives, but what I want is not race-based
00:27:40.200policing. So either everyone carries knives or no one carries knives. But we had our own very own
00:27:47.440Henry Novak in Vancouver a couple of years ago. And it hardly got any attention for what it was.
00:27:59.120Jerry Purvis writes, our Canadian friends shouldn't be surprised by the American media.
00:28:03.600We've been dealing with this corrupt cabal led by the New York Times for at least
00:28:07.440the past few decades the Henry Novak murder is no different I think finally today the CBC has
00:28:17.940covered it sort of the media is all doing what they can do to make the story go away that's why
00:28:24.820millions of us are finding new sources for unbiased reportage at least our Canadian friends
00:28:30.240or pardon me at least our American friends don't have to pay for the biased reportage
00:28:34.840unless they want to in Canada our government pays our media to ignore these sorts of stories
00:28:43.260well everybody that's the show for tonight thank you so much for tuning in uh I believe Ezra is
00:28:49.420back hosting the show tomorrow thanks to everybody who works behind the scenes at Rebel News to put
00:28:53.560the clips together that I send them to make a legitimate Ezra Levant show and since I'm hosting
00:29:00.200today, I'll say my sign off instead of Ezra's. Remember, everybody,
00:29:07.380don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
