Rebel News Podcast - Trudeau, Scheer tweet support for Antifa thug. What's going on？

00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Today, I take you through two nearly identical tweets

00:00:02.800 by Andrew Scheer and Justin Trudeau. You could seriously swap them out and you wouldn't know

00:00:07.300 the difference. Why is that? Well, I try and get to the bottom of it today.

00:00:12.540 Before I do, can you do me a favor and consider becoming a premium subscriber? It's $8 a month

00:00:17.420 and you get the video version of the podcast, which I like to think is valuable. We put a lot

00:00:22.700 of effort into it and we put a lot of visual images, so you don't just have to look at me

00:00:27.680 in my handsomeness. If you want to be a premium subscriber, it's $8 a month at premium.rebelnews.com.

00:00:36.340 All right, here's today's podcast.

00:00:43.540 You're listening to a Rebel News podcast.

00:00:45.980 Tonight, Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer published nearly identical tweets. That's

00:00:59.000 always a bad sign. I'll show you what they're talking about. It's October 10th and this is

00:01:03.080 the Ezra Levant Show. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer

00:01:09.400 I know? There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I

00:01:14.820 have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right

00:01:19.240 to do so.

00:01:25.220 Did you see this tweet from Andrew Scheer?

00:01:28.160 This is sad news. Threats of violence and intimidation are absolutely unacceptable in

00:01:34.880 Canada. And as you can see, he's retweeted a comment by a CBC reporter named Suresh Doss.

00:01:41.540 I'll read that comment in a moment, but it's pretty much identical. Andrew Scheer's tweet

00:01:45.940 to this tweet from Justin Trudeau, written just about an hour earlier. Trudeau said,

00:01:51.320 Hatred and threats of violence have no place in Canada. We are always stronger together than

00:01:56.460 when we're divided. So let me read what was in the tweet from the CBC that both leaders

00:02:03.060 retweeted. It was an image from the Instagram page of a Syrian restaurant called Sufis. I'll

00:02:10.560 read it in full.

00:02:12.900 Permanently closed. As a result of numerous hate messages and death threats we've received

00:02:17.300 over the past week, we've decided to permanently close our shop. Our decision is made with a

00:02:21.500 heavy heart and effort to maintain our family and staff's safety. We would like to thank our

00:02:26.940 lovely customers and Queen Street neighbors for their wonderful support over the past two years.

00:02:31.480 We'd also like to extend our love and appreciation to our wonderful staff who have invariably embodied

00:02:36.720 the hard work, dedication, passion and graciousness of Syrian newcomers. Since we opened up Sufis in

00:02:42.140 2017, we have been met with nothing but curiosity, respect, acceptance and love from the people of

00:02:47.540 Toronto. And for that, we are eternally grateful. We will cherish the countless memories of us

00:02:51.620 sharing stories, food and music and laughter with love, the al-Sufi family.

00:02:59.100 That sounds pretty bad. What happened to them? Did like some street gang come by and threaten to smash

00:03:04.720 up their shop? Hmm. I wonder what this is really about. I mean, besides Trudeau and Andrew Scheer,

00:03:12.560 two politicians' virtue signaling, this message, I mean, from the restaurant, it sounds bad, but it also

00:03:18.460 sounds like no one was hurt. It actually sounds like no one actually did anything other than maybe

00:03:24.000 say some mean things. They said death threat. Threats are a real thing, but it sounds like there was no

00:03:30.180 incident, no attack, no property damage, no assault, not even a shout or a shove. From what I read to

00:03:36.740 you above, it sounds like maybe a mean comment on Facebook, but they did say death threats, so that

00:03:43.160 sounds very serious. Okay, what do reporters have to say about this? Well, if you Google Sufi's

00:03:50.880 restaurant, you find this video made by a propaganda outlet called Shadling. Now, Shadling used to be a

00:03:57.080 women's magazine, but it's really just a liberal party repeater. Now, I'm going to show you this

00:04:01.020 before I get to the news reports, because I want to show you what a lovely couple the Al-Sufis are.

00:04:08.280 My name is Hassan Al-Sufi. My wife is Shadling. We're here in a Sufi's restaurant. It's the Queen Street West.

00:04:14.940 To know a culture from their food, you just need an appetite, an open mind, and you will understand

00:04:31.680 everything about this culture. When we came to Canada, we said we're going to serve the authentic

00:04:36.960 Syrian food only, and this is what we are doing. I'm a civil engineer, fortunately. We went to Saudi

00:04:44.800 Arabia since 1995. We stayed there for like 20-something years. I study fine arts in Syria.

00:04:52.140 Then I go to Saudi Arabia and work with handicapped and special education kids.

00:05:01.200 Three years ago, we decided it's enough for us that we have to have a new home now because of the

00:05:08.400 unfortunate event that took place in Syria. So we were looking for a new home to hold us,

00:05:14.800 and we couldn't find better than Canada to come. We're starting our new life.

00:05:18.800 So you can see a few things. First of all, they say they're Syrian, and that's true if you mean where 0.99

00:05:24.800 they were born, but they left Syria, I think they said in 1995. That's 24 years ago.

00:05:31.680 And they moved to Saudi Arabia, so they're about as Syrian as I am. They're not Syrian refugees. 1.00

00:05:36.720 They're not fleeing Syria. They left Syria 24 years ago. The civil war there didn't start until

00:05:42.480 five years ago. But I like them, don't you? They're very modern, aren't they? The woman doesn't wear a 1.00

00:05:47.520 hijab, and it looks like she never has. She's educated, modern. I wish more of Arabia was like this. I 0.83

00:05:55.600 guess she had to wear a full niqab in Saudi Arabia, so she probably likes being in Canada a lot more. But I 0.95

00:06:01.040 like them. And I can see why they're popular, not just in real life, which I assume they are,

00:06:05.920 but to the liberal media, because they speak great English. They're very presentable. In other words,

00:06:11.840 they're useful for propaganda, because that's not actually how most Syrian migrants to Canada are.

00:06:18.160 Most Syrian migrants to Canada over the last five years don't speak English or French. They don't have 1.00

00:06:23.360 any job schools. They're not successful. I like these folks, by the way. Who on earth would ever

00:06:28.720 raise a word, let alone a death threat, against them? Well, here's the CBC state broadcaster to explain

00:06:35.120 what happened. Toronto restaurant closes after death threats arise from relatives' involvement in

00:06:41.840 Bernier protest. Heartbroken family behind Sufis says restaurant is shutting down for good.

00:06:46.480 Let me read a bit. A Syrian family says it is shutting down its Toronto restaurant after receiving

00:06:52.400 death threats a week after a relative was involved in a protest at a Maxime Bernier speaking event in

00:06:57.760 Hamilton, where a senior was blocked from entering. And then they quote a little bit of that letter on

00:07:03.280 Instagram that I read to you. And then they say,

00:07:05.440 Well, in case you need me to say it, I absolutely oppose death threats against

00:07:25.280 anyone. I should tell you, I'm not a criminal lawyer, but these comments probably don't rise to

00:07:28.880 the level necessary for a police prosecution. They lack the immediacy and specificity and credibility

00:07:34.320 to meet the test beyond a reasonable doubt of a criminal death threat. But look, I oppose them

00:07:39.440 anyways, even if they're not crimes. I get death threats from time to time too, usually in comments

00:07:46.480 online. Very rarely do I report them to police because most of the time it's obvious just trash

00:07:50.880 talk. It's not imminent or real. But I'm against death threats, even those that don't quite rise to

00:07:57.040 the criminal standard, whether against me or some restauranteurs. But what exactly is the CBC hinting at

00:08:03.360 here? We're actually not hinting at. What are they obscuring? Let me read again to you. We sure saw

00:08:10.400 the words Maxime Bernier loud in the headline. Did Maxime Bernier make the death threat? I don't

00:08:16.400 know. The CBC almost wants you to think so, putting his name in the headline. Is that really

00:08:20.080 the headline here? Let me read one line from the story again to you. A relative was involved in a

00:08:27.120 protest at a Maxime Bernier speaking event in Hamilton, where a senior was blocked from entering.

00:08:33.680 Okay, so a relative. You mean the son of that mom and dad who works there? I guess a son is a

00:08:42.880 relative. They're talking about this guy. You learn who has tempers, who doesn't.

00:08:47.440 Who has a temper. I'm not going to complain about my brother like he complained about me.

00:09:02.480 So that's the relative, the son who works there. I wonder why the CBC is dancing around that relative.

00:09:09.440 Now, what did the CBC mean by that relative was involved in a protest? What was his involvement?

00:09:16.960 Let me read that line again. Some protesters attempted to prevent people from entering the

00:09:22.320 building and one video, which was widely shared among Bernier supporters, shows several protesters

00:09:28.480 blocking the path of 81-year-old Dorothy Martson and her husband. They were in a lineup and treating

00:09:34.000 me like I'm a criminal, she said during an earlier interview. So that's how the CBC describes what

00:09:40.080 happened that fateful day. Someone blocked this little old lady's path. No big deal, right?

00:09:47.600 All right, well, here's the video. Would you describe this as blocking the path?

00:09:53.520 No, that's not blocking the path. That's screaming.

00:10:22.960 At an 81-year-old woman that she's a Nazi, screaming and blocking the path. There's no path. 0.69

00:10:28.320 She was being blocked. Did you see that foot, the screamer there? And some thug wearing a mask,

00:10:33.360 terrorist stuff. By the way, this wasn't just shared amongst Bernier supporters. As you can see,

00:10:37.360 it was seen millions of times, but not on the CBC. I want to read that passage again. Some protesters

00:10:46.240 attempted to prevent people from entering the building and one video, which was widely shared

00:10:50.880 among Bernier supporters, shows several protesters blocking the path of 81-year-old Dorothy Martson.

00:10:56.160 Really? Watch that one more time.

00:11:00.960 Off my streets!

00:11:02.640 Nazi stop! Off my streets!

00:11:12.880 I'm a street!

00:11:13.760 I'm a street!

00:11:14.800 Don't fucking text me!

00:11:16.480 Don't fucking text me!

00:11:17.760 Don't fucking text me!

00:11:18.880 Don't! Off my streets! 1.00

00:11:22.380 Physically blocking an 81-year-old woman, blocking her walker,

00:11:25.900 screaming at her that she's a Nazi, a thug wearing a mask.

00:11:29.220 Did the CBC really tell you the truth there?

00:11:33.160 The son of that Syrian couple, an employee of the restaurant, was wearing a mask.

00:11:39.180 Now, we know that.

00:11:40.760 We know it was him because he's stupider than your average Antifa.

00:11:44.320 They usually dress all in black.

00:11:46.380 It's a tactic called the black block because that means it's harder to ID someone later.

00:11:53.200 But you can see it's the same guy.

00:11:56.220 It's the son.

00:11:56.740 He wears that same orange shirt a lot.

00:11:58.940 You can see his tattoo on his arm.

00:12:00.680 Same guy.

00:12:01.700 It's the son of that lovely couple.

00:12:03.340 His name is Allah.

00:12:05.940 If there's some thuggish riot around Toronto, he's there.

00:12:11.400 He's there.

00:12:12.060 He's on the streets.

00:12:12.940 He's at that fight in a mall.

00:12:15.620 Whatever.

00:12:16.100 Allah al-Sufi is there.

00:12:17.460 He's a rioter.

00:12:18.500 He's with Antifa.

00:12:19.920 He's literally wearing a mask as his colleague screamed Nazi at a little old lady.

00:12:25.240 Now, let me read a bit more from the liars at the CBC State Broadcaster who are obscuring, not revealing.

00:12:32.120 The family also said their son was doxxed, meaning his personal information was released online with malicious intent and physically assaulted.

00:12:40.380 Our family and business do not condone acts of hate, violence, or harassment in any shape or form.

00:12:45.840 The statement said, we want to restate that we are not affiliated with any political group or organization or either side of the political spectrum.

00:12:53.040 We simply believe in kindness, peace, and understanding between all people.

00:12:57.700 Now, I think that's probably true of those two lovely parents.

00:13:02.480 The couple from Saudi Arabia who look normal and productive, members of the Sunni, they don't look radical.

00:13:08.580 They certainly don't look Islamist.

00:13:11.000 The mom is clearly a liberated woman. 0.75

00:13:12.680 They're not Syrian in any real way other than they left that place 24 years ago. 1.00

00:13:17.180 I'm not sure why they keep being described as Syrian refugees when they haven't been there since 1995.

00:13:22.520 We don't recognize people from Saudi Arabia as refugees, and that's where the family came from.

00:13:26.980 They were actually quite rich in Saudi Arabia.

00:13:29.280 But I think maybe this couple does a little bit of fibbing, too.

00:13:33.720 I think they're downplaying the thuggery of their son.

00:13:36.860 I think they're lying about him a little bit.

00:13:39.260 I find it hard to believe that they don't know what he's doing with his spare time because he keeps doing it, doesn't he?

00:13:44.940 And he's not shy about cameras, is he?

00:13:46.500 I mean, maybe he takes a few shifts at the restaurant in between, but protesting against Canada, hating Canada, seems to be his real job.

00:13:55.080 I wonder why he hates Canada so much, why he protests against us, why he wears a mask, why he gets into fights, why he gets into riots, why he participates in the bullying of an 81-year-old woman.

00:14:05.240 You'd think he'd be down on his knees every day thanking Allah for bringing him out of Syria and out of Saudi Arabia, two of the worst countries in the world, where protesting is illegal, by the way, and bringing him here to our great country.

00:14:16.600 Instead, he clearly hates us, going by what he does.

00:14:21.940 I don't know how his parents can be so nice and he be so foul, but the fact that they've hidden his true nature makes me doubt that they really did get the death threats they claim because the other things they're saying don't quite check out.

00:14:33.580 But I notice in another news report that was not written by Trudeau CBC, do you see that here?

00:14:37.840 The police say that the family didn't actually file a police report.

00:14:44.920 That's weird.

00:14:45.660 If I had a death threat, I'd be calling the police immediately, not the press, not Instagram.

00:14:51.280 I have had death threats.

00:14:52.820 I did call police immediately.

00:14:54.780 Wouldn't you, if they were a real death threat, they still haven't called police, but they called the CBC.

00:15:04.060 Look, I don't know.

00:15:04.700 Maybe the restaurant was having a tough time commercially and this was just a good occasion to pull the plug on it.

00:15:08.760 Maybe they did have some threats against their bigoted son.

00:15:12.780 Could be, I don't know, but you know one thing that's for sure.

00:15:17.060 You'd never know the truth about this if you relied on the media, would you?

00:15:19.980 Certainly not the Trudeau media, the CBC.

00:15:22.100 We know Trudeau's game.

00:15:24.100 He still has that hijab hoax tweet on his timeline, the one where he virtue signaled about that 11-year-old girl who claimed that her hijab was cut by a Chinese man on the street.

00:15:35.380 It turned out to be a big lie.

00:15:36.500 It was a worse lie than even the Jussie Smollett hoax.

00:15:39.780 So, Trudeau still has that tweet up after the hoax was revealed.

00:15:44.680 She was a liar, but she served Trudeau's purpose and still does, really.

00:15:49.760 So, we know Trudeau's angle here and we know the CBC's angle here.

00:15:54.000 But what's Andrew Scheer's excuse?

00:15:56.520 Almost an identical tweet to Trudeau's.

00:15:58.420 Why?

00:15:59.220 Why is he supporting an Antifa thug?

00:16:01.940 Why is he supporting what could be a hoax?

00:16:04.020 I don't know.

00:16:04.960 If you haven't reported it to police, I'm a bit skeptical.

00:16:07.500 Well, I know why Andrew Scheer's doing this.

00:16:11.180 Because the CBC says it's cool.

00:16:14.040 That's what being a conservative leader means, I guess.

00:16:17.860 Cheering for the Antifa Syrian migrant and not his 81-year-old lady victim. 0.99

00:16:26.980 Good grief.

00:16:29.020 Stay with us for more.

00:16:29.900 Well, there is nothing that Justin Trudeau won't throw money at in this campaign.

00:16:47.120 One of the most bizarre examples was his $2,000 camping tax credit that he'll pay you two grand to go pitch a tent.

00:16:58.720 I didn't know you needed that kind of dough for that.

00:17:01.800 But the one thing Justin Trudeau is cutting, the one thing, I challenge you to name another, is medical care for our armed forces.

00:17:13.740 I know you think I'm making this up because it is impossible to be true, right?

00:17:19.700 Well, I credit Mercedes Stevenson, who is a reporter with Global, and she's actually pretty well connected to the military and vets and serving military. 0.92

00:17:30.580 And she got this scoop.

00:17:32.020 And look at the story.

00:17:33.480 Federal government cuts reimbursements for military health care.

00:17:37.380 Hospitals on the hook for millions.

00:17:39.180 One last detail.

00:17:40.020 Unlike civilians, the federal government has a special constitutional obligation to cover doctor's visits.

00:17:48.580 So they pay doctors like, oh, I suppose, out-of-province insurers would pay you if you pay for your health care if you were in a different province.

00:17:59.720 Justin Trudeau has decided this is the area he will cut of all areas.

00:18:05.980 I can't even believe it, but it's the truth.

00:18:09.160 And joining us now to talk about the shocking truth is our friend Lee Humphrey, who's the founder of James International Security and veterans for the Conservative Party.

00:18:17.260 Great to see you again, Lee.

00:18:19.180 Good to see you, Ezra.

00:18:20.940 Have I properly summed up this story that basically the feds have one constitutional responsibility, and that is pay for the health care of soldiers?

00:18:30.900 And they said, you know what?

00:18:32.520 That's the one thing we're going to come back on.

00:18:34.420 Is that true?

00:18:35.980 It's absolutely true.

00:18:37.140 And as you alluded to, Mercedes scooped this story, and she does have a solid reputation within the veterans and military community for getting it right. 0.85

00:18:49.580 I want to quote from her story, if I may, because I want to give the exact kind of detail that she has here.

00:18:56.200 So, for example, where military bases are, obviously that's where soldiers and their families are.

00:19:00.560 The Kingston Health Services Center, located near the base at Kingston, as well as the Royal Military College, estimates a shortfall of $2.3 million.

00:19:11.620 As in, that's what the doctors charge, but the federal government has just said, yeah, you know what?

00:19:18.640 We're going to pay you $2.3 million less.

00:19:22.480 Pembroke Regional Hospital, located near the Canadian Forces base at Petawawa, projects a shortfall of $3.4 million.

00:19:29.500 Now, I've got to tell you, $2.3 million plus $3.4 million, my math says that's $5.7 million, so that's about half of what Trudeau gave to Omar Khadr.

00:19:41.300 So he gave Omar Khadr $10.5 million, and he's, I guess, taking it out of the hides of soldiers and their families.

00:19:48.840 Yeah, there's some personal irony here for me.

00:19:53.160 When I broke my back in a parachuting accident, I was actually medevaced initially to the Pembroke Hospital.

00:20:01.580 So I received my initial care on the drop zone from Canadian Forces medics.

00:20:07.240 But, you know, I think your viewers might like to understand where this came from, how this came about, and why the military doesn't treat its own soldiers and families like you see in the United States.

00:20:23.180 I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it.

00:20:26.300 Harjit Sajjan, I mean, I don't want to talk about the issue of stolen valor, him taking more credit than is due.

00:20:33.000 Underneath it, I think he was a good man.

00:20:38.660 I think, I mean, I've never met him.

00:20:40.340 He was a cop.

00:20:41.200 He was a soldier.

00:20:42.240 He seemed to enjoy soldiering.

00:20:45.000 I think Sikhs have a tremendous tradition of soldiering.

00:20:49.360 I sort of liked the look of him when he became defense minister, and I thought, finally, you got a guy who knows what it's about in that job.

00:20:56.240 I feel like he's been an advocate from the Liberal Party against soldiers.

00:21:02.460 Instead of my hope coming true that he would be a true soldier's defense minister, it seems like all he does is give bad news to the troops.

00:21:11.540 And listening to him now, he sounds like Trudeau.

00:21:13.700 Yeah, unfortunately, when he was first elected and named as defense minister, several of my friends who are senior officers that served with him, that trained with him, that in a couple of cases deployed with him, said, you know, this is a good guy.

00:21:32.300 Give him a chance.

00:21:33.820 They don't say that anymore.

00:21:35.300 And I think you can look at several older liberal cabinet ministers that were seen as, yeah, we had differences, but they had principles.

00:21:47.820 They had a standing with the Canadian public.

00:21:51.220 But they've had to defend Justin Trudeau and his decision-making process, whether it's his personal failings or whether it's his policy failings.

00:22:01.740 And they've had to give up their principles or, as a friend told me the other day, they get JWR'd.

00:22:08.780 In other words, they get Jody Wilson-Raybould.

00:22:10.840 She got run out of the place.

00:22:12.500 I mean, she's now a goofy acronym about what happens to you if you stand up against this prime minister.

00:22:20.060 So, you know, Sajin, putting aside, again, his embellishment of his personal service in Afghanistan, he gave up the moral authority and Vance joined him.

00:22:33.040 General Vance, the chief of defense staff joined him, and they have made some of the most ridiculous decisions or supported them in the last couple of years that I've seen coming out, going back to the Khrushan years. 0.53

00:22:46.960 You know what? I went to Ottawa to cover the trial of Vice Admiral Mark Norman, and the day I chose to go to Ottawa, coincidentally, was the day the Crown dropped the charges.

00:23:00.640 And it was a most unusual, and I would put it, legally embarrassing dropping of the charges because the Crown clearly was tricked and misled by the government.

00:23:11.980 She wasn't given all the facts.

00:23:13.740 I think she should have known better.

00:23:15.680 I think she should have pushed back.

00:23:17.560 But Vice Admiral Mark Norman was put through this whole sham trial, and I think the prosecutor was too much in collusion with the PMO.

00:23:27.400 But finally, they did the right thing and let him go.

00:23:29.760 I can only imagine the bunker mentality of the prime minister's office and the defense minister's office to agree to go to war against an honest soldier like that.

00:23:43.220 But you've got to make your heart cold as ice to go to smear a good man and to take on real soldiers.

00:23:53.160 Maybe they actually hate soldiers.

00:23:56.820 Now, I know I'm just trying to psychologically wrap my head around, why would you do this?

00:24:02.120 Like, I mean, give me one more example, Lee.

00:24:05.340 I'm sorry I'm rambling a bit here, but I just, who would cut, like, you cut a perk maybe if you're in cutting mode, but cutting hospitals?

00:24:13.020 Do you remember that tweet that Justin Trudeau did a while back to a U.S. late night talk show comedian named Trevor Noah?

00:24:20.500 Where he said, hey, how does $50 million sound?

00:24:24.920 And he just chucked $50 million to some late night comedian in a tweet for a moment of, I'm cool.

00:24:33.560 $50 million for that crap.

00:24:36.000 And you're clawing back surgery and health care for soldiers?

00:24:42.440 I don't even know what to say, Lee.

00:24:45.600 Yeah, it's bizarre.

00:24:47.200 I mean, in the late 90s, to save money, the forces were reduced massively in size and in budget.

00:24:54.440 And one of the things they did was they farmed out health care and they limited the number of medical personnel in the military to those capable of deploying.

00:25:04.700 They did the same thing in the combat arms.

00:25:07.560 And so we were at bare bones.

00:25:09.140 And one of the reasons they pay a higher fee to the out-of-province level was to ensure that the military had really good access to medical care in the civilian system.

00:25:22.740 Because typically military people were coming in with complex issues.

00:25:27.140 And the military needed those folks back as quickly as possible because literally they cut us down to the bone.

00:25:34.760 And the minute you reduce those rates and we just become another person in the queue, you're not going to meet your deployment numbers.

00:25:46.680 And so suddenly you have a hollowed out military again.

00:25:51.400 But seriously, this is Justin Trudeau.

00:25:54.880 His father was no different.

00:25:56.740 He hollowed out the Canadian military.

00:25:58.560 Jean Chrétien did it again.

00:26:01.480 And just as it was being built up again, we switched back to Trudeau.

00:26:05.780 And we began the promise everything 10 years from now, make it all sound nice on paper and do absolutely nothing.

00:26:14.840 Yeah.

00:26:15.340 Yeah, it's a great point.

00:26:16.320 In the short term, the troops get hurt.

00:26:18.860 Yeah.

00:26:19.360 You know, you made me think because, of course, many military positions are very physical positions and dangerous positions.

00:26:26.240 If someone is injured, you need them treated right away.

00:26:29.420 You can't put them in a 6, 8, 12-month waiting list.

00:26:32.320 I mean, that's absurd.

00:26:34.180 But that's fine for Trudeau.

00:26:35.640 I mean, he himself would never have to wait in line.

00:26:38.240 You know, you made me think.

00:26:39.220 You talk about cutting to the bone and hollowing out.

00:26:41.260 I was shocked to learn that what I think, I mean, I'm not, look, I've never been a part of the military, but it seems to me that our Canadian version of the Top Gun flight training, called Maple Flag, where Allied Air Forces come and it's practicing.

00:27:00.680 This is something that we've been doing in Canada for about 40 years, and it just seems not only so essential to keeping our pilots sharp, but in working alongside our allies.

00:27:12.400 That was, if you're cutting our version of the Top Gun flight training school, where we were, I mean, if you're cutting that deep to the bone, I mean, then I guess it doesn't surprise me you're also cutting health care.

00:27:27.820 Maybe we should have Trevor Noah, that comedian, come up and, you know, enlist in our armed forces.

00:27:33.220 And maybe then Trudeau, maybe have a bunch of cool influencers.

00:27:38.100 Maybe Trudeau would care then.

00:27:39.540 I don't even know what to do.

00:27:40.700 Is this going to resonate in the election?

00:27:43.240 I don't think the media cares.

00:27:44.980 I mean, Mercedes Stevenson, give her credit, but I think the CBC, they sort of hate the military too.

00:27:50.760 Yeah, it certainly hasn't hit the mainstream, if you will, in the two networks that have half-hour updates, CBC and CTV.

00:28:01.580 And I have to admit, this election, whereas the last election, you know, there was a fight over whether veterans were being treated properly.

00:28:12.020 There was a bit of a fight over the military.

00:28:14.060 Other than Andrew Scheer doing one event where he rolled out his military slash veterans platform, it's not been a topic of conversation.

00:28:28.160 Last election, I was doing media almost on a daily basis.

00:28:32.420 This election, I missed a media request from you due to time zones, and I've got this one.

00:28:39.700 Other than that, it's been really slim pickings.

00:28:42.280 So, you know, I'm truly hoping, my tweet today about this was, you know, we're a tiny group, and without the public who claim to support their Canadian forces and veterans, we will not get movement on an issue like this.

00:28:58.120 So, unless the Canadian public turns this into an issue and reaches out to their candidates and says, what about this, it's not going to be an issue.

00:29:09.600 You know, that makes me very sad.

00:29:11.300 I'm thinking of, I've had the good fortune to travel to almost every part of Canada, and I noticed the military presence.

00:29:18.740 I've referred to a few Ontario military bases.

00:29:22.220 Halifax is a very military town.

00:29:24.180 And St. John's, the whole province, certainly has a military history, was a real tradition, especially on the Navy side.

00:29:32.120 So, there are parts of this country, Lee, that are liberal and military, like Halifax, St. John's, Ontario.

00:29:40.300 I'd have to remember where the Esquimalt and other BC bases, what ridings they're on, but I bet there's liberals out there, too.

00:29:48.100 So, you would think that the local MPs, just from dealing with military families, would have a dog in this fight.

00:29:57.100 So, it's not just conservative places like Cold Lake or whatever.

00:30:01.640 Are there any MPs in the Liberal Party, putting aside Harjit Sajjan, are there any MPs or candidates in the Liberals that you know of that have a reputation or a connection to the military?

00:30:12.520 Anyone, anyone from some of these places I've just listed?

00:30:17.800 No.

00:30:18.800 Unfortunately, even the veterans that are still in the Liberal Party, of which there's seven or eight, downplay that and avoid those topics.

00:30:31.980 Because at the end of the day, you know, this is a top-down government.

00:30:35.920 This is a Trudeau-inspired government, and they all go along to get along with Trudeau to maintain their own power.

00:30:43.000 So, the only person I saw willing to stand up for the military was retired General Leslie, who was...

00:30:52.480 He's drummed out now.

00:30:53.920 He's been thrown out.

00:30:54.640 And he's on his way out.

00:30:55.900 The only way he could stand up and stand, you know, on his principles were to announce that he was leaving politics.

00:31:04.220 You know, I remember that, that was the interesting, same time I was at the court for Vice Admiral Norman, that's when Leslie made his move and said, I just can't stand by this anymore.

00:31:17.480 Yeah.

00:31:18.240 But you're not seeing that from any of the others.

00:31:21.000 And I mean, seriously, Sajjan is an Afghan veteran.

00:31:25.680 If anybody was going to stand up and say enough, it would be him.

00:31:31.460 He's a modern veteran that served in an operational theater at least twice.

00:31:39.320 And he has been kowtowed completely.

00:31:42.020 Vance, who was considered an extremely strong commander when he was in Afghanistan, a commander for the troops, if you will.

00:31:52.660 He is completely kowed by Trudeau and by the PMO and those.

00:31:58.460 And you saw that in the secret memorial.

00:32:03.140 Right, that was crazy.

00:32:05.320 That was insane.

00:32:07.240 It was absolutely insane.

00:32:08.520 The first person that called me about that was the father of a fallen soldier, incensed at what he had done.

00:32:19.480 And he was marching down to Kent Hare's riding to give it to him about why this was happening.

00:32:26.480 But again, nothing changes.

00:32:30.840 And, you know, at the end of the day, Trudeau runs that shop with an iron fist.

00:32:39.420 And until he is gone, nothing will change.

00:32:43.080 Yeah.

00:32:43.360 You know, for almost 10 years now, I've had a tradition on Remembrance Day.

00:32:48.140 I read the same poem every year.

00:32:50.260 It's called Tommy Atkins by Rudyard Kipling.

00:32:52.860 Yeah.

00:32:53.060 And the theme of it, for those viewers who don't know it by now because I do it every year, is that everyone loves a soldier when we're in trouble.

00:33:03.880 But the rest of the time, they're forgotten, they're thrown away.

00:33:07.800 And the rest of us are cheapskates.

00:33:11.300 And I say that on Remembrance Day because my point is there's another 364 days a year.

00:33:16.940 Can we, frankly, I would rather have the care of those 364 days than on the one day of Remembrance Day.

00:33:23.500 I don't mean to, I'm not reducing or diminishing Remembrance Day at all.

00:33:27.140 But that's just become a rote custom.

00:33:30.820 I wish that we gave a damn the other 364 days a year.

00:33:34.440 And I know that if Trudeau wins again, he'll lay a wreath on November 11th and he'll probably get those tears in his eyes and whatever.

00:33:41.940 But then he'll go right back to cutting these expenditures and hiding the memorial.

00:33:45.740 It makes me very mad.

00:33:46.680 And I always choke up a little bit, frankly, with tears when I read that poem because that was written over 100 years ago and it's bloody well true today.

00:33:54.120 Last word to you, Lee.

00:33:55.960 Yeah, I fully agree.

00:33:57.780 I've read the poem many a time and most soldiers feel exactly like that young British soldier that's mentioned in the poem.

00:34:09.220 But I have faith.

00:34:10.700 I really do.

00:34:11.420 I have faith in our citizens, that they love their military, that they respect their military.

00:34:16.940 They respect veterans all year long.

00:34:20.100 While they may not be at the top of mind all year long, they do respect what we've done for the country.

00:34:25.700 And I'm truly hoping they'll show us that when they go out and vote.

00:34:31.860 I know there's many issues that are more important to them.

00:34:35.900 But at the end of the day, you know, when someone disrespects an entity that you love and care about and respect, you need to stand up.

00:34:44.420 And we don't like racism.

00:34:46.800 Trudeau pulled a racist move.

00:34:48.260 We don't like sexism.

00:34:49.360 He's pulled sexist moves.

00:34:50.900 We love our military and we support our veterans.

00:34:53.780 He doesn't seem to give a crap about us.

00:34:56.600 So there's lots of reasons to vote for another party, for somebody else to lead this country that will show respect to people of color, will show respect to women, and will show respect to our serving men and women and our veterans.

00:35:14.060 Yeah, well said.

00:35:15.720 Well, great to have you on the show.

00:35:17.060 You're welcome anytime.

00:35:18.620 And I thank you because, of course, you bring a great personal experience in history.

00:35:22.340 And you yourself have been an advocate for vets in a way that I wish there were many more people like you.

00:35:29.840 And I know you do inspire our viewers.

00:35:31.700 So I thank you for that.

00:35:32.720 Lee, it's great to see you again.

00:35:34.620 You as well, Ezra, anytime.

00:35:35.920 Right on.

00:35:36.660 There you have it.

00:35:37.080 Lee Humphrey, who's the founder of James International Security, and he also founded the group Veterans for the Conservative Party, telling it like it is, as he always does.

00:35:45.620 Stay with us.

00:35:46.220 More ahead on The Rebel.

00:35:46.880 Stay with us.

00:36:16.880 Stay with us.

00:36:18.880 Stay with us.

00:36:19.200 Why?

00:36:19.820 Because he was hassling a Bernier event?

00:36:21.760 Is that why Scheer did it?

00:36:22.740 Or why?

00:36:23.560 Because Scheer doesn't want to seem to be anti-Syrian or something?

00:36:28.240 It wasn't a Syrian thing.

00:36:29.600 It was a thug screaming at an 81-year-old lady.

00:36:32.420 He was standing by while his colleagues screamed.

00:36:36.140 What's going on over there in the Conservative Party war room?

00:36:39.160 I just don't understand it.

00:36:40.820 Let me know if you think I'm wrong on this one.

00:36:44.000 All right, that's our show for today.

00:36:45.240 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night.

00:36:49.220 Keep fighting for freedom.

00:36:50.120 Go Now.

00:36:57.800 Bye.

00:37:00.020 Bye.

00:37:00.260 Bye.

00:37:00.600 Bye.

00:37:01.780 Bye.

00:37:02.180 Bye.

00:37:02.680 Bye.

00:37:07.020 Bye.

00:37:07.600 Bye.
