00:00:21.060 You're listening to a Rebel News Podcast.

00:00:30.000 Tonight, a very special episode, the best of the Rebel, and our coverage of Antifa.

00:00:37.620 It's July 22nd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:42.860 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:00:46.620 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.

00:00:50.700 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:00.000 Well, we've been watching Antifa for years.

00:01:04.420 They were very active in Europe and in the U.K., but in North America, they weren't really a force.

00:01:10.840 We've all heard of Black Lives Matter and I don't know more.

00:01:13.660 Well, 2020 was the year of Antifa riots, and today's special Best of the Rebel shows our coverage of Antifa.

00:01:22.780 Take a look.

00:01:23.300 Oh, yeah!

00:01:25.660 What are you doing?

00:01:28.620 Hi, everybody.

00:01:33.160 It's Anna Slats.

00:01:33.840 I am live in Washington, D.C. for Rebel News.

00:01:36.280 I am covering the second day of George Floyd protests and Antifa riots.

00:01:40.820 Today, police gave protesters three minutes between warnings, and on the third warning, they advanced extremely fast.

00:01:48.720 They started firing rubber bullets, tear gas, and flash bombs into the crowd at very, very close range,

00:01:55.220 and they have been advancing ever since, rushing the crowd, grabbing whoever they can, arresting them.

00:02:00.060 In quite brutal ways, these were just even standard buys, I think, were caught up in it, even media.

00:02:12.140 Yeah, and as you can see, the protesters are just not relenting.

00:02:15.900 They are continuing to keep their hands raised, and they have been absorbing all of the shocks.

00:02:22.760 gek!

00:02:23.260 We are not a threat!

00:02:24.060 We are not a threat!

00:02:25.920 We are not a threat!

00:02:27.920 We are not a threat!

00:02:28.840 We are not a threat!

00:02:29.980 We are not a threat!

00:02:30.800 We are not a threat!

00:02:31.900 We are not a threat!

00:02:33.680 Hi, guys.

00:02:34.240 It's Anna Slats, and I'm here in Washington, D.C. where I have been covering the George Floyd protests

00:02:39.180 and antifa riots for rebel news i just wanted to go over some of my thoughts because last night was

00:02:44.780 the first night i was here on the ground uh and it was crazy to say the least but when the night

00:02:51.580 started it was very peaceful and i have been trying to focus on why such a peaceful coherent

00:03:01.260 considerate demonstration of anger devolved into violence and destruction and fires and smashed

00:03:12.300 windows and businesses being looted and i want to say that that occurred that transition from peace

00:03:22.220 to chaos occurred when a largely white group of antifa protesters began to call the shots in the

00:03:29.660 demonstration around 6 p.m when the black lives matter protesters were marching on the capitol

00:03:36.860 it was all very peaceful it was very well put together people were being taken care of given

00:03:41.660 food given water given medical treatment if they needed it and the air was positive it was upbeat

00:03:47.900 it was people expressing themselves in the democratic way that they have the ability to express themselves

00:03:55.020 that they have the right to express themselves and that is through a peaceful demonstration a peaceful

00:04:01.260 protest expressing their anger at the treatment of african americans in the united states it was not

00:04:07.020 until 10 pm that things started to devolve into chaos and that is when the antifa protesters showed up

00:04:15.420 and they began setting fires they began burning buildings they began defacing war memorials i'm actually

00:04:22.860 just outside of one right now that's being taken care of by the police there was such a distinct

00:04:27.580 difference between the approaches of black lives matter and antifa that much of it i caught right 0.91

00:04:33.580 on film people being told by the black lives matter protesters stop throwing things at the police stop

00:04:39.900 interacting with the police this is going to lead to more violence this is going to lead to more innocent

00:04:45.020 people people getting hurt and of course that would disproportionately impact the african americans that

00:04:51.020 were in the protest the white antifa protesters continued and persisted to destroy to throw bottles at

00:04:59.900 the police to throw bottles at the police cars to throw rocks and stones and it was an escalation a very steady

00:05:07.820 escalation the police began to respond with more and more violence of their own more flash grenades

00:05:17.660 more pepper spray more batons and even someone got a rubber bullet uh he was standing right next to me

00:05:24.380 and he got hit with a rubber bullet i want you to take a look at the footage and i want you to ask

00:05:30.300 yourself if if you can see the difference between the approaches of black lives matter who were out there

00:05:36.460 protesting the the wrongful death of george floyd and the approach of antifa who were destroying

00:05:43.740 needlessly who were not listening to the black lives matter protesters who were meant to be leading

00:05:48.700 the demonstration and who were just causing chaos for absolutely no reason the general sentiment here

00:05:55.740 in washington dc is that these protests are going to continue you can see to both sides of me behind me

00:06:01.420 that there are uh businesses that are putting plywood up they are covering their windows they're

00:06:06.300 covering their doors because the general sense here is that it's going to escalate the riots are going

00:06:12.700 to escalate in the same way that they did in oakland and atlanta and in minneapolis i'm going to be on

00:06:18.940 the ground tonight just like last night bringing you coverage right from the front lines this has been

00:06:25.500 anna slats reporting live from washington dc for rebel news i'm here in innis vale today where a protest

00:06:32.540 is planned a black lives matter protest backed by antifa as they tend to be across north america the

00:06:38.780 community here in innis vale is anxious they're concerned and they're worried that one violence

00:06:43.900 could break out as it tends to do in edmonton they smashed the window of a cop car left graffiti

00:06:49.260 everywhere some businesses just on the drive in here we've seen that their windows are all shuttered

00:06:54.140 they have no idea how to respond to this because it's bullying at the end of the day these folks are

00:06:59.500 coming in from large cities to tell the people of innisfail that they are racist that's obviously

00:07:04.780 not true i've spoken with the minority groups here in innisfail and they've told me that they love it

00:07:09.260 here the people are the nicest people that they've ever met and they've never once experienced racism

00:07:13.820 but that's not going to stop the radicals with black lives matter to come into this community

00:07:18.620 to intimidate them and try to re-educate them are you from innisfail i'm not i'm from calgary okay drove

00:07:24.300 drove in for the uh party absolutely okay could you give me an example of police brutality in innisfail

00:07:31.260 um i'm actually not going to talk to any media today i'm sorry that's just not something there's

00:07:35.740 lots of media and people talking to media over there um as far as my quote on anything i'm not

00:07:40.380 going to give one you're you're at a protest what's your point here if not to spread your message i'm here

00:07:45.420 to show support that's all to stop police brutality in the town of innisfail with 7 000 people to stop

00:07:51.900 police brutality in general are you here to support the rally yes okay would you be able to give me

00:07:57.420 any examples of uh you racist piece of get the out of here you are you i'm not a nazi

00:08:10.860 do you have an example of of racism or police brutality here in innisfail yeah i don't know

00:08:16.380 i i don't know if anything's happened in innisfail but i do know there were threats against

00:08:19.740 a small little group are you okay with that i really don't care it's just you that has a stick 0.97

00:08:26.300 up with their butt i've lived here for almost 22 years now and i haven't seen any i've seen shitty 0.99

00:08:29.740 people white people i've never seen racism no but so like i've i've lived in innisfail my entire life 0.99

00:08:38.380 or like just west of town and then recently i've lived in town now i've never seen racism i have a

00:08:45.260 lot of i probably know 50 syrian refugees about well they're from syria then they went to lebanon

00:08:49.980 now they're in canada but they've been here for about two years some longer some a bit shorter one

00:08:55.100 guy worked at tim hortons for about a year and a half and i've asked him like have you ever experienced

00:08:58.060 racism he's like no he's like i've never yeah his first name is muhammad and he's never experienced

00:09:02.700 racism he's like i've met shitty people but like every service job you have shitty people he's like 0.99

00:09:06.780 there's shitty white people there's shitty black people what do you think that what do you think the 1.00

00:09:09.500 reason is for these uh these radicals to come into this community to re-educate you why why did they 1.00

00:09:14.700 pick innisfail uh well britney beauvais she made a post on facebook about doing the protest and then

00:09:21.180 they're like i forget exactly what happened like it got denied or something yeah there's a lot of

00:09:25.340 backlash she cancelled yeah and then and then it got trending on twitter now everyone's here and i'm

00:09:31.500 just like wondering like there's quite an old population in in innisfail here like there's an old folks home

00:09:37.340 on the south end of town like why are we exposing everyone to uh covert right now like it is a

00:09:42.140 problem you think it's selfish uh maybe there's an argument for it to be selfish and unselfish i think

00:09:47.580 there's a lot of police brutality there's seen a lot of you're in innisfail though have you seen an

00:09:51.740 example of police brutality honestly i have not not no no i'm not kind of project i'm just here because

00:10:32.540 because we can because you can yeah you came here to re-educate these people specifically canada

00:10:37.980 anywhere i want to how are you educating other people to assert that black lives matter like that's

00:10:43.900 not the message here that's not that's not what people are saying here they're saying that people

00:10:47.820 they're saying that people here in innisfail are specifically racist i haven't heard any

00:10:52.460 you from are you from innisfail i'm not giving you any information i'm sure you're not from

00:15:25.260 are you with these guys no i'm just a journalist covering this actually you're with rebel media

00:15:30.860 yeah we know their history so that means it's you know it's kind of funny my grandfather spent five

00:15:37.500 and a half years fighting the nazis in the second world war mine too both thank you for your service

00:15:43.100 both of my sides of the family escaped the nazis i'm jewish i'm married to a jewish woman so how does

00:15:51.100 that's a joke that's interesting oh yeah i know a black guy too

00:15:55.660 i'm in kingston because as you can see behind me there is a anti-colonialism protest it's kind of

00:16:02.140 funny the motto of kingston ontario is where history and innovation thrive but it seems that

00:16:09.500 the people here are keen on cancelling history such is our cancel culture as a matter of fact you can

00:16:16.700 see a big red poster it says make history topple colonialism and it's showing a statue being toppled

00:16:25.740 now i would say that's a major job here if that's what the plan is today to actually tear down

00:16:32.380 this statue but i have noticed that throughout the crowd they are distributing eggs and um oh excuse

00:16:39.180 me ma'am oh why is that what makes me a racist man okay we know your own words because i just

00:16:48.060 don't touch me do not touch me you do not touch the camera you said we're racist why is that

00:16:53.100 and use a lot of bad language not very lady like language i must say i'm not a way to get out of

00:16:57.900 here okay then what about yourself ma'am you were saying something as well i believe i said that i

00:17:01.980 thought your your speech was offensive and inaccurate oh it was oh what did i get wrong

00:17:06.860 kingston's motto is not where history innovations do you believe that removing a statue removes history

00:17:13.820 what would you call it i would say that we're no longer celebrating a racist creep the history doesn't

00:17:20.540 time to go what what what are you uh pouring water okay excuse me time to go time to go

00:17:29.260 time to go as you can see these people it's a park it's a public park do not push us time to go do

00:17:36.540 not push us we're making our way out okay good get your boy out get your boy out we're gonna get egged

00:17:43.420 get out what you're gonna threaten me by throwing an egg at me sir don't get out of here it's a public

00:17:51.180 park it's come on whoa let's move over oh you're a tough guy behind that mask aren't you get out oh and

00:17:58.140 you too get out huh is this this is your idea let's go get your boy we're gonna lose that camera kid

00:18:06.620 we're gonna lose it go go this is hey don't touch him what are you gonna do what am i gonna do yeah let's go

00:18:14.460 what makes us a racist what makes us a racist you can't even articulate yourself okay so as you saw

00:18:27.100 we had gatorade splashed on our bodies and our equipment we were pushed we were shoved i took a

00:18:34.140 bottle off my forehead and you might be wondering in the aftermath just who was that mass man well you

00:18:41.660 know what folks we've got some good news we know his name now the alaya the alleged assailant is 30

00:18:48.700 year old robert warner just a few days ago police charged uh mr warner and the charges are assault with

00:18:59.100 a weapon and mischief slash obstruct property under five thousand dollars he was later released on

00:19:07.420 conditions and he is scheduled to appear in court at a later date uh i somehow think mr warner without

00:19:15.500 his mask on and without 200 antifa types surrounding him isn't going to demonstrate the kind of bravado he

00:19:24.620 demonstrated in the park that day well it's not bravado it was outright bullying it was a mob reacting

00:19:31.020 to a couple of individuals practicing journalism

00:19:45.020 give me a hug i love you i love you i love you don't run away from love don't run away from love

00:19:52.380 don't run away from love don't run away from love

00:19:58.940 yeah what are you what's your purpose here i'm a cameraman are you are you gonna stop me instead of

00:20:05.100 them trying to block me i'm asking you i don't have to provide you anything okay just like they don't

00:20:11.500 have to provide anything to you i'm not harassing them they're following me can you please stop no just

00:20:18.940 came here to see what's going on you guys are getting violent right away we evolved through love

00:20:22.380 and diversity that's what we do we evolve through love and diversity that's what we do we evolve

00:20:26.460 through love and diversity listen to the chance folks welcome to john toristrano hey get off me

00:20:39.340 i will trespass you for non-compliance i need you to stay back so this isn't probably the best time to be

00:20:45.660 coming here and doing this i understand what you're trying to do so for today yeah city hall

00:20:50.380 security and their staff they're they're trespassing you okay so we're gonna have to

00:20:54.140 escort you off the property

00:20:59.340 our purpose is to do journalism and we're going to make this a fight for civil liberties we shouldn't

00:21:05.500 have to do we shouldn't have to hire all these security and lawyers but we're not going to concede

00:21:10.700 that we can be kicked off city hall we don't live in iran or china we don't we don't clear out from 0.94

00:21:16.860 city hall because some cop tells us to so i don't want to come across as threatening to the police

00:21:22.700 but what happened yesterday when our people were driven out of the public square by the police will

00:21:29.340 never happen again on my watch with this company but we're just going to be so compliant with the law

00:21:34.540 that we're going to force the government to reveal itself are they really just trying to get rid of

00:21:40.300 us because they don't like the cut of our jib if so that's illegal that's unconstitutional so that's

00:21:45.020 what's happening i'm over talking let's go let's go down there and do it

00:21:55.900 well folks we are at literally the scene of the crime this is the illegal encampment

00:22:01.900 it's supposedly a circle it's not quite geometrically correct but this is where we were yesterday

00:22:09.180 and evidently there's um there's a phony baloney rule that i think people and even media are allowed

00:22:16.540 to be outside the circle but we can't venture inside the circle now here come the umbrellas you can tell

00:22:22.780 there's not a raindrop in the air today it's a nice sunny day in toronto so this is going to be to

00:22:29.100 attempt to block our cameras so you know we can't capture their crimes on video it's a typical antifa

00:22:38.060 101 tactic in massaging the narrative uh to their liking also as you can see as i alluded to earlier

00:22:46.300 we got a couple of porta potties established by the city so not only are the police coming in and john

00:22:52.620 tory saying you cannot be here it is illegal they are making these squatters have a comfortable place

00:23:02.140 to be it should also be noted that despite this illegal occupation uh there is 0.0 um police presence

00:23:12.700 and then we have one solitary security guard there notably he is behind a steel wall of sorts a temporary

00:23:23.260 steel fencing uh very funny that isn't it folks the left is is typically against uh building walls so

00:23:31.740 that a country can um maintain its sovereignty in terms of illegal aliens coming to the country but

00:23:38.540 when they are threatened at city hall uh walls are very effective indeed now as you can see off camera

00:23:46.540 too this is where they start shoving umbrellas and whatnot into our faces and they start complaining

00:23:52.700 don't touch me and that this is an assault on them uh here's this guy as you can see i don't know what

00:24:00.620 he's got they don't want free speech they don't want freedom of the press they don't want um freedom

00:24:09.180 of expression they want tyranny they oh oh is that right what's the truth ma'am

00:24:20.700 see again you ask them a question and they can't answer it they respond with vulgarity

00:24:27.100 a conversation when people are against you they don't want anyone to hear the true story well

00:24:30.620 maybe ma'am if you put your umbrella down um by the way why is it that you people don't want your 0.99

00:24:36.540 encampment filmed you people in the encampment ma'am this is an occupation oh it's an occupation

00:24:43.820 okay well we're dealing with semantics right now you're on my land you're on my territories who are

00:24:47.900 you colonizer can i see a deed please pardon me can i see the deed you don't need to see my deed

00:24:53.740 do you know what the history is are you able to respond to a question without profanity are these

00:24:58.300 your lands were you your original person of these lands are these your lands well i believe this is

00:25:04.300 a public square ma'am do you know that these are not your lands does somebody come up into your home

00:25:09.740 and take up your space does somebody come into your home and they can dictate how you run your household

00:25:14.540 so what would you what would you like what would you like us to do off my land that's what i would

00:25:19.180 like what about all these other people on your land why don't they protesting against you

00:25:23.180 this is not public space this is anishinaabe territory i don't want to get into history i want 1.00

00:25:27.500 to get into current events if you want to abolish the police ma'am who do we call when the bad guys

00:25:32.620 harass people out the bad guys can get the out of here it's your people that did this have this

00:25:38.700 mindset in here our people were peaceful people before they came here you know i think you're probably

00:25:43.820 a nice lady if someone were to criminally harass you harm you who would you call if you abolish the police ma'am 1.00

00:25:49.740 well i'm interviewing an umbrella again so like i said folks as you can see that is their main goal

00:25:58.140 they have a big red and white sign that says abolish the police not defund the police well why are you

00:26:06.060 getting in our way sir you know by the way this is this is another tactic folks they they walk an inch

00:26:13.980 away from us and then they play the victim card you know oh oh here's silence don't touch me

00:26:23.820 so anyways it's getting testy as you can see now where where and you'd think now you'd think with an

00:26:32.540 illegal occupation like this there would be a police presence but mayor tory has called off the cops it

00:26:41.260 would seem we are probably a four minute drive from police headquarters you know what's your purpose

00:26:50.380 here my purpose here is to do uh some journalism all right so right now what you're doing is causing a

00:26:56.940 disturbance with everybody here i need to ask you to leave okay what what have i done you're causing

00:27:02.700 disturbance i need you to leave the property and what have i done causing disturbance sir i need you to leave

00:27:08.940 the property you have been cautioned and i've i said it it is loud and clear you have the concaution i

00:27:15.740 need you to leave the property i've been trespassing okay for causing disturbance

00:27:32.780 hey is that that wacky tobacco that's legal now

00:27:35.020 listen to your heart decolonize your mind what does that mean ma'am

00:27:45.420 smells like a dead skunk in the middle of the road actually but uh

00:27:49.660 it's a free country you guys we can do that if we want oh is that right is that your idea of freedom

00:27:55.020 shutting down the media sir i thought i thought we weren't allowed inside your sacred circle sir we're

00:28:02.780 outside of your sacred circle because you're disruptors how are we antagonizers i'm just

00:28:07.260 standing here talking you're the one disrupting no i'm not you're disrupting by coming and going

00:28:12.220 against what we believe which is to abolish the police how does that how does that help anyone how

00:28:19.580 does that help any army so as you can see hey hey hey don't don't touch the equipment you punch the

00:28:26.620 microphone you punch the mic i didn't do nothing wrong no if you my hand in front of your camera

00:28:31.420 sir if you didn't do nothing wrong that means you did something wrong you use the double negative

00:28:35.660 i'm sorry you're not educated

00:28:43.820 so so you can see the it's open season and uh you're the one that punched my microphone sir what

00:28:51.580 that's vandalism so anyways so i'm not sure how much we're capturing folks but this is uh

00:29:01.340 this is uh par for the course with these uh antifa wannabes you know

00:29:09.100 i i think this is the definition of harassment you can't

00:29:12.940 oh oh hi we've we've got another gender touch my elder your elder

00:29:26.620 so again i'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish aside from making themselves look like

00:30:31.700 We won't stoop to your level.

00:30:34.220 You got that now?

00:30:35.600 How dare you?

00:30:36.820 We will not stoop to your violence. 1.00

00:30:38.780 You f***ing demons. 0.99

00:30:42.040 We've been separated from some members of our team. 0.99

00:30:45.960 It is completely lawless here.

00:30:49.820 There's some police right there.

00:30:52.520 Let's see if I flag them over.

00:30:53.700 They do anything.

00:30:56.360 Hey, police.

00:30:57.700 Police.

00:30:58.700 Police.

00:30:59.400 Police.

00:31:00.080 Look at this.

00:31:01.800 Look at this.

00:31:02.600 I guess they have to enforce the Bay Street clear lane or something.

00:31:08.780 Hi, officers.

00:31:10.160 We came here today with seven private, professional, insured security so we could do journalism.

00:31:17.100 We briefed ourselves on various laws and we were compliant throughout.

00:31:23.140 We went through the law.

00:31:24.080 No swearing.

00:31:25.040 No troublemaking.

00:31:26.520 And we simply stood in there to report.

00:31:31.000 And our security did their best but they were overwhelmed and there was a fisticuff.

00:31:36.340 I'd like to go back and calmly stand in the town square and do a five-minute news report.

00:31:43.480 But I was driven out despite spending thousands of dollars on private security.

00:31:50.300 Now that you guys are here, I wonder if I can walk back into the town square of my city peacefully in compliance with all laws and exercise my right as a journalist.

00:32:03.240 All right, you don't have to put that in my face.

00:32:07.340 So, we were talking to the security over there, right?

00:32:11.880 They were saying that some of the words you guys were saying and using were antagonizing the crowd there.

00:32:17.660 It's not true.

00:32:18.620 What words?

00:32:19.080 I didn't even talk to them.

00:32:21.000 I didn't even talk to them.

00:32:21.780 Did you say anything to them?

00:32:23.060 I didn't say, not a word.

00:32:25.060 The security weren't even there.

00:32:26.660 So, the security didn't hear anything.

00:32:28.600 The security never came to help.

00:32:30.240 They were always at least 100 feet away.

00:32:32.720 So, they physically could not have heard things.

00:32:35.220 I proactively went to the security to ask for assistance.

00:32:39.540 I was told I had to leave under the trespass and I said, what have I done?

00:32:44.760 And she couldn't say it.

00:32:45.780 So, what I'm saying here is, and I'm happy to go alone or send David alone.

00:32:50.620 The reason we brought seven people with us is because our journalists were threatened yesterday and I thought, I can't have our journalists being beat up.

00:32:59.100 So, will you either allow me or hopefully walk with me so I stand in front of my city hall as a journalist and do a five-minute news report in front of my city hall, completely compliant with the law and separated by a band of blue steel from the protesters?

00:33:19.820 Right.

00:33:20.560 So, right now, I've got to talk to the city hall security again.

00:33:25.420 They advised me that they had trespassed you guys from the property.

00:33:29.540 Do you guys want to do your journalism?

00:33:31.240 Yeah.

00:33:32.320 We don't take offense to that.

00:33:33.820 Blessed are the peacemakers.

00:33:35.180 I think you could fix this by letting us go out.

00:33:39.000 Those guys don't...

00:33:40.460 I want to stand...

00:33:42.580 Why don't you guys, like, stand...

00:33:45.060 Because this is my city...

00:33:46.120 It's about here.

00:33:46.780 No, no, no.

00:33:47.640 I'm going to go on the other side of the ramp.

00:33:50.640 I'll keep 20 feet away from the bad guys.

00:33:53.840 And I'm going to use my Section 2B charter, right, to report the news in my city.

00:34:00.220 So, you're free to report the news.

00:34:01.500 That's not the problem at all.

00:34:02.580 And I'm also free to stand on the town square.

00:34:05.840 Explain it to me.

00:34:06.560 So, see that stairwell that's going down?

00:34:08.200 Is that where you want to set up?

00:34:09.760 That's not bad.

00:34:10.520 Yeah.

00:34:11.220 Sure.

00:34:11.580 Okay, so, I don't see a problem with that.

00:34:13.620 Great.

00:34:13.760 I'm going to tell you right now.

00:34:14.940 Yeah.

00:34:15.440 If the situation starts to explode, and security wants you to leave, then I'm going to have

00:34:21.500 to ask you, right?

00:34:22.240 Well, I'm sure.

00:34:22.740 I want to tell you, the law says...

00:34:24.520 The law doesn't talk about situations.

00:34:26.120 The law talks about people.

00:34:27.780 I'm not going to explode.

00:34:29.240 David's not going to explode.

00:34:30.540 My cameramen aren't going to explode.

00:34:32.120 And my professional licensed security certainly aren't going to explode.

00:34:34.860 There are some explosive people in here.

00:34:36.920 But the law touches explosive people, not explosive incidents.

00:34:41.180 And I'm not leaving because some guy explodes at me.

00:34:43.800 The law also touches about breaching of the peace.

00:34:48.200 I haven't breached the peace at all.

00:34:50.320 If you want to take the position, officer, and I know you don't, that a peaceful, quiet

00:34:54.680 news report on the town square is breaching the peace, that's a law that needs to be tested.

00:35:00.120 Let's just go and do some journalism, officer.

00:35:02.080 Let me speak to the security.

00:35:03.320 Give me a quick second.

00:35:04.220 Sure.

00:35:04.520 And if you also want to call Colonel Sanders, he has about as much authority as these mall

00:35:09.340 cops, but you do what you've got to do.

00:35:11.080 We've all got to work together.

00:35:11.960 We've all been here together.

00:35:12.840 Blessed are the peacemakers.

00:35:14.060 You're the best.

00:35:14.720 I like that guy.

00:35:16.360 I like him too.

00:35:18.000 I'm going to do a news report on my town square where I pay taxes every day.

00:35:22.940 That's just happening.

00:35:23.980 Whether I do it with the cops, with the security, or by my lonesome, it's happening.

00:35:27.520 All right.

00:35:39.360 We spoke to the security there.

00:35:41.320 They said that at 1234, they trespassed all of you guys.

00:35:47.460 So here's what I'm going to do.

00:35:50.800 I'm going to walk there now.

00:35:52.120 And that'll be, that'll go one of three ways, I think.

00:35:56.520 One is I'll go by myself and I'll probably get attacked.

00:36:00.600 That won't be good.

00:36:02.000 The other is you come with me and I don't think they're going to lay a glove on you, but

00:36:07.020 I know how tough it is to be a cop these days.

00:36:08.780 They're filming everything.

00:36:09.740 They're going to try and get you.

00:36:10.840 It's tough.

00:36:12.020 The third is you arrest me.

00:36:14.560 Oh, I don't want that to happen, but I am ready for that to happen.

00:36:17.580 Because the only reason I'm here with 15 of my friends is because we were shooed away

00:36:24.060 from the town square yesterday and thought the president of the company himself is going

00:36:27.400 to come down and prove that in Toronto, the town square is a place where a journalist

00:36:32.460 can go peacefully.

00:36:33.940 So if that is not true, we need to know it.

00:36:37.400 And if I get personally attacked, we need to know it.

00:36:40.360 If I get arrested, we need to know it.

00:36:42.660 So I'm going to do that now.

00:36:44.580 I'm going to do it whether or not you guys are there.

00:36:46.240 I guess I did mention that to them and they don't launch you on the property right now.

00:36:50.740 You know what?

00:36:51.480 1-800, I don't care.

00:36:53.420 I mean, their opinion matters not at all to me.

00:36:56.020 What I'm saying is why don't you shoot some footage from here and get what you can get

00:36:59.780 here while we're standing here and make sure that you guys are safe right now.

00:37:05.960 Because I'm a free citizen and that's my town hall.

00:37:09.300 That's my town square.

00:37:10.160 That's the answer.

00:37:10.780 Why?

00:37:10.940 There's no other answer to it.

00:37:13.080 I'm explaining to you what security told me.

00:37:15.000 If you're not happy with their...

00:37:16.340 I'm not interested in playing legal games with mall cops, officer.

00:37:19.200 So unless you have any last minute things to say, I am now going to walk with my bravest

00:37:24.600 cameraman and David.

00:37:26.560 I'm going to walk to the stairs.

00:37:28.020 I hope I don't get beat up.

00:37:29.540 I hope I don't get arrested.

00:37:31.160 Those are two possibilities.

00:37:33.000 I hope you guys will just walk with me to the stairs.

00:37:35.360 I'll do five minutes of journalism and then I'll call it a day.

00:37:38.820 Just to be clear, if I get a trust on...

00:37:40.680 So Moak, are you coming? 1.00

00:37:42.600 Just to be clear.

00:37:43.600 I thought that was a magnificent performance of, I guess, outdoor lawyering.

00:37:49.040 We are asserting ourselves.

00:37:51.740 You can already hear the moans from the sacred circle of the autonomous city.

00:37:57.260 And we're being met with the mall cops, for lack of a better term.

00:38:03.440 Ezra Levant here for rebelnews.com.

00:38:06.040 I'm standing in the town square of Toronto.

00:38:10.380 Corporate security, we're trespassing you from the property for causing disturbance.

00:38:14.780 I haven't caused a disturbance.

00:38:15.900 Stop lying, please.

00:38:17.060 Please stop lying.

00:38:18.500 Please don't lie on TV.

00:38:19.560 You're interfering with this peaceful demonstration.

00:38:22.140 Please don't lie on TV.

00:38:23.160 You've got to go.

00:38:23.740 Please don't lie.

00:38:24.500 You've got to go.

00:38:24.840 You have to go.

00:38:25.660 No, I don't.

00:38:26.220 You leave the property.

00:38:27.260 Well, here's my lawyer.

00:38:28.060 You can talk to him, okay?

00:38:30.560 Okay.

00:38:31.340 I'm going to keep doing my work.

00:38:32.980 If you guys want to interfere.

00:38:34.120 What's your name?

00:38:34.660 I'm going to ask you.

00:38:35.460 What's your name?

00:38:36.080 Show me your ID.

00:38:36.680 He has been trust me.

00:38:37.640 I don't believe you.

00:38:38.360 Show me your ID.

00:38:39.800 Well, right here.

00:38:40.560 This is mine.

00:38:41.300 Right here.

00:38:41.700 I can't see your name.

00:38:42.740 Stop hiding your name.

00:38:43.940 Yusuf Kassam.

00:38:44.700 And what grounds are you objecting me?

00:38:47.480 I'm asking you to leave.

00:38:48.040 You've already seen my ID.

00:38:49.480 Asking me to leave is in the grounds.

00:38:50.780 All right.

00:38:51.260 Talk to my lawyer or talk to one of the kids.

00:38:54.080 Okay, sir.

00:38:54.760 They trust you now.

00:38:56.180 I'm not leaving.

00:38:57.020 Let me just do my report and then I'll get out of here.

00:38:58.860 If you want to arrest me, go ahead.

00:39:00.400 Ezra Levant here for rebelnews.com.

00:39:03.780 I'm standing in a very strange place.

00:39:06.140 Normally, it's the town square of my own city.

00:39:09.400 But today, it's an encampment, a rather gross, urine-soaked encampment of protesters, rather incoherent.

00:39:16.420 We sent reporters here yesterday to try and have a conversation with them, but it was not useful.

00:39:21.500 Then mall security, I'm calling them mall security because that's what they are, told our people to leave.

00:39:27.660 Now, that's not what the law says.

00:39:28.920 What disappointed me the most is that a Toronto city policeman said if we didn't leave, we would be charged under the trespass laws.

00:39:39.700 Now, I contacted Aaron Rosenberg, our lawyer, and we went through the trespass laws very carefully.

00:39:45.660 And he confirmed that there are certain grounds you have to violate before being trespassed.

00:39:50.640 And we didn't violate those.

00:39:53.020 So today, this morning, we had a staff meeting going through those laws and we came back.

00:39:57.400 Well, you saw the footage of the mini-riot that happened.

00:40:02.320 And our seven private security guards were actually attacked.

00:40:05.280 And I don't blame them for saying, we've got to get out of here.

00:40:07.160 The cops weren't around.

00:40:08.420 Luckily, four of Toronto's finest did finally come.

00:40:13.060 And after some attempts at negotiation, I told them one of three things is going to happen.

00:40:18.520 I'm going to come back down here myself alone and get beat up.

00:40:22.440 I'm going to come back down here with their protection.

00:40:24.740 Thank God that's what we're doing.

00:40:25.760 Or the third option is they'd arrest me.

00:40:28.100 I'm very glad it's ending without arrest, although the day's not done.

00:40:31.020 That's about it for me.

00:40:32.420 This isn't an interesting story.

00:40:34.220 I mean, these protesters are a rent-a-mob.

00:40:36.040 They're not interesting in any way.

00:40:37.960 What is an interesting story is how John Tory's Toronto has rolled out the red carpet for lawlessness

00:40:44.200 and is cracking down on journalists peacefully doing their profession.

00:40:49.280 What have we learned today, folks?

00:40:51.420 Do we have free speech in Canada?

00:40:52.940 I think we do.

00:40:54.040 But it's kind of like Diet Coke or free speech light, if you will.

00:40:58.620 It's not the full meal deal.

00:41:00.900 It's not the First Amendment like our American cousins have.

00:41:05.020 We got our little five minutes, and then we get the bums rush. 0.97

00:41:11.660 I'm not blaming the individual police officers.

00:41:14.400 This is the bailiwick of John Tory and his spineless leadership in the city of Toronto.

00:41:21.700 I regret that our private security took some punches.

00:41:28.160 I have to say Toronto's police did the right thing in the end.

00:41:32.460 I understand Toronto police wanting to negotiate, wanting to have a diplomatic solution,

00:41:40.720 but that's not how it is between a bank robber and a bank teller.

00:41:45.620 That's not how it is between a fireman and a fire.

00:41:48.660 There's right and wrong, and there's lawful and unlawful.

00:41:52.240 And committing acts of journalism in the public town square, that's lawful.

00:41:58.200 All right.

00:41:59.080 What a great day.

00:42:00.140 Thanks, everybody, for your support.

00:42:01.700 If you want to help cover the costs of our seven private security, it's a big bill.

00:42:05.980 Go to journalistdefensefund.com.

00:42:09.740 Thanks, officers.

00:42:11.680 Have a good day, guys.

00:42:12.660 Thank you very much.

00:42:21.700 You better not.

00:42:23.120 You make contact.

00:42:24.640 You're going to go to jail.
