Tonight, a mass shooting in Toronto kills two and wounds 13.
00:00:04.240
Why are the mainstream media trying to hide the shooter's links to Muslim terrorism, though?
00:00:09.080
It's July 24th, and you're watching The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:17.560
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:21.360
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:25.080
You come here once a year with a sign, and you feel morally superior.
00:00:28.080
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my
00:00:38.840
On Sunday night in the lovely Toronto neighborhood of the Danforth, lots of shops and restaurants
00:00:44.820
and bars, lazy summer evening, a terrorist calmly walked down the street shooting everyone he
00:00:51.820
He murdered a 10-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman.
00:00:55.120
That's a lot of shooting and a lot of hitting his targets.
00:01:02.360
He walked almost a quarter of a mile at a leisurely pace before he was finally stopped
00:01:07.720
Here's a quick video of the terrorist captured on someone's cell phone.
00:01:13.600
Calm, cool, collected, not the style of a madman, the style of a trained killer and assassin.
00:01:26.060
I've read reports from firearms experts commenting on the style in which the terrorist held and
00:01:31.480
fired his weapon, not in the manner of street gangs, but in the manner of law enforcement
00:01:36.880
I've read reports from eyewitnesses who say he was completely cool throughout.
00:01:41.940
Were it not for the fact that he was shooting people, he'd be unremarkable in his demeanor.
00:01:46.220
We don't yet have the minute-by-minute TikTok-style report, but clearly he obviously reloaded his weapon.
00:01:56.340
As I mentioned, he was stopped and killed by police, but it took a while.
00:01:59.680
But then they fairly quickly identified the killer.
00:02:04.120
Police said he was known to police, and his age, 29, was immediately published.
00:02:10.840
But authorities declined to publish his name, too.
00:02:21.020
But for some reason, authorities did not name him for a full day.
00:02:25.980
And so for the next 24 hours, the discussion was somewhat unmoored.
00:02:29.900
Toronto's feckless mayor, John Tory, really didn't have much to say.
00:02:36.440
The murder rate in Toronto is now higher than the murder rate in New York City.
00:02:41.380
But he's like Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, who brushes off all the murders and stabbings,
00:02:45.940
and they've got acid attacks over there, too, and, of course, terrorism there, too.
00:02:50.340
Sadiq Khan says it's just part and parcel of life in a big city, you know?
00:03:01.580
But then yesterday, in a move that can only be described as choreography,
00:03:05.760
the police released the name of the terrorist, Faisal Hussain, a Muslim man, obviously.
00:03:12.500
And immediately, simultaneously, a Muslim reporter at the CBC,
00:03:17.520
Shanifa Nasser, with an Islamic studies degree,
00:03:19.860
she published an unsigned letter purportedly from the terrorist family.
00:03:25.440
But, of course, it wasn't written by them, older Muslim migrants.
00:03:29.360
This was written by some professional PR person,
00:03:32.040
maybe a journalist, maybe a political staffer, who knows?
00:03:38.280
But it was remarkable how perfect the timing was.
00:03:44.800
So the moment the terrorist was named, with his Muslim name,
00:03:49.000
instantly the counter-narrative was grafted onto it.
00:03:53.000
The message from the family being, no, no, no, nothing to do with Islam.
00:03:56.960
It's just mental illness that he had struggled with his entire life.
00:04:00.240
As if people with mental illness go out and just naturally shoot people.
00:04:06.260
Now, it could be that this was some psychotic episode.
00:04:10.220
But we don't have that from the family directly.
00:04:12.540
We have it from some unsigned document served up by the state broadcaster,
00:04:17.580
and they won't discuss the provenance of that document.
00:04:22.580
Why did they wait to release it with such perfect timing?
00:04:27.900
And it was Faisal Hussain, in fact, struggling with mental issues.
00:04:32.940
And even if he was struggling about mental issues,
00:04:34.740
what about the reports that he was known to police?
00:04:40.640
CISIS doesn't get involved if you're just depressed.
00:04:44.500
Joe Warmington, the reporter for the Toronto Sun,
00:04:47.480
says law enforcement sources say Hussain had made trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan,
00:05:03.020
Actually, the CBC didn't even leave it at that.
00:05:04.820
They went from being 100% championing the murder victims, Toronto Strong,
00:05:14.220
It was like they just flipped, just switched sides.
00:05:17.260
This is another report from Shanifa Nasser of the CBC.
00:05:25.140
Well, she's talking about the terrorist here, not his victims.
00:05:30.220
The CBC is talking about how wonderful a person the terrorist was.
00:05:53.940
Now, the Toronto Star put their investigative reporter on the case.
00:05:57.120
They've got some good investigative reporters over there, the Toronto Star,
00:06:02.500
What drove Toronto shooting suspect to unleash violence on the Danforth?
00:06:16.180
It's not like getting a hunting rifle or shotgun.
00:06:20.580
That's a restricted possession and acquisition license.
00:06:23.500
To get one of those, you need to do a deep background check.
00:06:27.000
I mean, someone who has a lifetime of mental illness,
00:06:31.020
That anonymous memo about lifetime psychotic depression,
00:06:42.840
Hussein regularly met up near his house with up to 20 friends.
00:06:50.240
Or are they a group of people planning and plotting things together?
00:06:53.520
Was this a lone wolf or part of a team, a pack?
00:06:56.220
So what did the investigative reporter for the Toronto Star say?
00:07:03.620
Hussein also shared a characteristic in common with many mass murderers,
00:07:07.200
one that has received particular attention in the wake of a string of explicitly misogynistic attacks.
00:07:19.300
Yeah, it's got nothing to do with Islam, people.
00:07:24.620
So, for example, if a man is passed over for a job, say,
00:07:33.300
but it was never actually even his to begin with.
00:07:45.960
That was just some hypothetical situation that the Toronto Star published,
00:07:52.200
because they actually don't want to talk about what did happen.
00:07:55.840
They want to talk about something else that didn't happen,
00:08:01.940
without criticizing Islam or open border immigration
00:08:08.420
They literally had their investigative reporter call up some professors
00:08:12.860
to get them to do some feminist rant about some hypothetical killer
00:08:30.300
they need to be in control to be the hero and never back down.
00:08:40.840
That's the biggest newspaper in the country in terms of readership.
00:08:43.560
But I've been asking some questions on Twitter.
00:08:53.460
Jennifer Pagliaro, told me to delete my questions.
00:08:59.160
Ezra, this kind of fear-mongering is unacceptable.
00:09:05.520
You should delete it immediately and apologize.
00:09:09.980
Now, I was asking about the CBC's curious timing
00:09:18.880
At the precise moment, the murderer's name was revealed.
00:09:26.140
Just basic factual questions for which there are basic answers.
00:09:29.660
I mean, there might be perfectly innocuous answers
00:09:33.140
but all of that is wrong think, according to the star.
00:09:45.100
Disgusting, unacceptable, intolerable, fear-mongering.
00:09:52.060
But what's odd is the mainstream media is full of rage.
00:10:00.580
They were calling the terrorists a humble, polite man
00:10:08.900
for asking questions and telling me to censor myself.
00:10:26.040
I want to know where he got his executioner-style training.
00:10:29.040
I want to know what his relationship with the police and CSIS was.
00:10:32.880
I want to know if he did indeed go to Afghanistan and Pakistan
00:10:40.960
I want to know what professional spin doctor grafted themselves onto the family
00:10:48.360
whether it was the CBC or a politician or even the police.
00:10:51.220
I want to know what other threats we have around the country.
00:10:54.440
I want to know if, in fact, Faisal Hussain was a terrorist somewhere else
00:11:01.140
What are those ISIS terrorists, maybe, that Justin Trudeau says
00:11:08.220
So, no, sorry, I'm not going to be shushed by the Toronto Star
00:11:13.600
or the dozens of CBC government journalists who chimed in
00:11:27.680
Welcome back, and joining me now is our friend David Menzies,
00:11:47.060
who immediately, upon the identity of the terrorist being revealed,
00:11:51.200
went down to his home, and he joins us now here in studio.
00:11:58.040
Tell me about the neighborhood where the terrorist Faisal Hussain lives.
00:12:02.280
Tell me what the demographics are like, what the people are like,
00:12:19.520
That's where they turn the cafeteria into a mosque every Friday.
00:12:22.420
It's a public school, like a government school.
00:12:24.000
The gender apartheid mosque, as it's being called.
00:12:26.860
And a further walk along, you'll come to a community center,
00:12:30.680
publicly funded by the taxpayer, which is home of what I call the Sharia swim.
00:12:34.580
That's where I did the caper when I went in as a trans woman to see if I could swim with the regular Muslim woman.
00:12:48.280
you will not see more burkas in the cabs in a, like, five-kilometer square radius than Thorncliffe Park.
00:12:57.220
You, like, when you watch the video that Efron shot, you'll see in the periphery just people walking by in the full face covering.
00:13:05.900
So it's definitely going back, say, 50, 60 years ago.
00:13:11.980
And it was also, interesting enough, Ezra, part of Kathleen Wynne's writing, the ex-premier of Ontario, right?
00:13:22.340
And I bring Kathleen Wynne into this because I think the way the narrative has gone here is that there seems to be aching political correctness,
00:13:31.640
you know, going into who the shooter was, what his motive was.
00:13:36.560
It really got my spidey senses, tingling, Ezra, that for 20 hours the police knew this man's name and they withheld it.
00:13:45.040
And one of the explanations is that we're consulting with the family.
00:13:47.840
Well, hang on, double homicide, injuring 13 others, when do you consult with the gunman's family?
00:14:02.320
The idea, stop everything, the real person we have to…
00:14:05.820
I mean, why didn't they consult with the victim's families?
00:14:10.000
That's so bizarre and so political and so not standard police practice.
00:14:19.060
Either if I, and Ezra, I can only think of one reason, one valid reason.
00:14:35.160
But then they kept it secret for a full day after.
00:14:38.180
So we know that it didn't take them a day to do that.
00:14:48.760
Given the timeline, Ezra, the chronology, when we finally got a name, within about an hour,
00:14:54.400
I'm estimating, we got that polished PR, like almost from Hill and Knowlton's statement
00:14:59.800
from an elderly Muslim family, you know, saying about the history of mental illness and schizophrenia
00:15:08.420
And the way it was written, it was so polished that I'm not buying this.
00:15:19.880
If a piece of paper comes from the family, but we don't know who the family is, did the
00:15:27.680
family send it to the reporters or did some middleman send it to the reporters or did a
00:15:32.320
politician send it to the reporters or did the police or did the CBC itself cook it up?
00:15:40.700
And it seems like you're not allowed to ask any questions because, as you suggested, when
00:15:46.240
police are consulting with the murderer's family, all your priorities are upside down
00:15:53.320
It's not flesh out all the facts about the murderer.
00:15:55.840
It's obscure all the facts about the murderer because he is Muslim.
00:16:01.060
I think, Ezra, I'm only speculating here, but if he was a guy that looked like me and
00:16:05.480
had named Duncan McDonald, they'd be running to a mic saying white male gunman.
00:16:12.520
And I bring in Kathleen Wynne because, as you remember, that horrible, tragic Pulse nightclub
00:16:17.640
shooting in 2016, Ezra, and she had a press conference.
00:16:21.500
And this is where 49 mostly gay men were killed.
00:16:25.720
And her statement, which to me was the jump the sharknado moment in terms of political
00:16:32.180
correctness, Islamophobia cannot, sorry, homophobia cannot be fought with Islamophobia.
00:16:47.740
And when she said that in public to all these white liberals, the usual suspects, it was
00:16:55.540
You know, what's so weird is the CBC, I mean, the whole world was Danforth strong, Toronto
00:17:03.220
It was, you know, it was victimology and it was worthless other than a sentimentality, but
00:17:09.140
at least it was sentimentality in support of the victims.
00:17:11.800
The minute the attacker was identified as Muslim, forget the victims.
00:17:18.520
The CBC called him polite, humble, respectful, million dollar smile.
00:17:25.540
What about the family of Reese Fallon, the 18-year-old who just graduated Malvern Collegiate,
00:17:32.480
Ezra, and was going to go to McMaster to become a nurse to save lives ostensibly.
00:17:42.720
Can you imagine her poor father who is in hospital recovering from life-saving surgery?
00:17:49.140
And when he comes out of that, someone's got to say, by the way, your 10-year-old, you
00:17:55.380
And all of a sudden we have to think, oh, think of the family of the gunman.
00:18:03.640
Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun has been doing great reporting on this.
00:18:10.540
We're asking the questions we can, but all the official media, the media party, as I
00:18:15.420
call it, the CBC with their unlimited resources, the Globe and Mail, CTV, Global News, Post Media,
00:18:21.040
with the exception of the Sun, they're all in cover-up mode.
00:18:25.120
And it's so bizarre because I just saw a story on CBS News, and I'm learning more from an American
00:18:30.480
network than I am from the CBC because I think the news is out there, the facts are out there.
00:18:35.740
But the Canadian media is positively unreporting, anti-reporting, dis-reporting this story.
00:18:42.120
Well, Ezra, it's what I've said for a long time.
00:18:44.240
If there's anything worse than state censorship, it's self-censorship.
00:18:49.400
And look, if I'm with one of these media outlets, right?
00:18:52.200
We just saw a guy last week for making a morning show host in Winnipeg, you know, Dan Wheeler,
00:18:58.920
Dave Wheeler, rather, who lost his job making a joke about a transgendered person.
00:19:04.980
If you, if the politically correct Kool-Aid means this is all about the religion of peace
00:19:10.340
and don't go, don't play the Islam card, you know, you think I'm going to put my neck
00:19:14.940
out on the line in a sunset industry where jobs are few and far between?
00:19:20.960
I mean, I showed it earlier with some Toronto Star reporter who said, delete my questions
00:19:26.100
immediately. And I thought, I don't know if you saw this. Yeah. The city reporter for
00:19:30.920
the Toronto Star, I was asking questions about the timing of, of the alleged letter from the
00:19:36.860
family. And I just had some questions and this Toronto Star reporter just says, delete that
00:19:42.220
tweet. It's very offensive. It's outrageous. And I, and I thought normally they're not that
00:19:48.440
bold. Normally they just censor themselves, but they can't stand anyone breaking formation.
00:19:56.100
They, it's truly scary to me because Gerald Butts and Justin Trudeau and, and, um, Katrina
00:20:03.080
Gould, a liberal MP and others have basically said, uh, no, no dissident voices, dissident voices,
00:20:09.560
no dissenters. They've shut down parody accounts.
00:20:12.320
I mean, they truly want to stop unapproved political commentary, including on pressing and urgent
00:20:20.080
matters of public policy, such as a terrorist crime. And David, as long as the rebel lives,
00:20:24.780
we will ask the questions that the people want answered and we'll accept the answers
00:20:28.820
if, if they're acceptable. There may be a very acceptable answer to some of the questions you
00:20:33.900
and I have posed here today, but so far we've been stonewalled. And I think, uh, as my friend
00:20:39.320
Tommy Robinson would say, it's a stitch up and we're not going to, we're not going to bend
00:20:43.820
the knee to Gerald Butts or the politically, politically correct mayor or police chief.
00:20:48.180
Yeah. And, and I mean, look, before they released the name as well, there was a closed door, uh,
00:20:52.220
meeting for hours between Mayor John Tory, uh, Chief Saunders, the police officer, Bill Blair,
00:20:57.300
then the, you know, the, the new cabinet minister, uh, responsible for crime and, uh, border security.
00:21:03.020
And, um, it was almost the vibe I got as run, and I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I don't buy into
00:21:09.220
that, but the vibe I got was, it's like three guys, um, sort of saying, how do we spin this?
00:21:15.560
Yeah. They're all, and they're all liberals or liberal appointees. Was the provincial
00:21:18.600
PCs there, were Doug Ford's people in that meeting? Uh, good question. I think at one
00:21:23.060
point, Doug Ford was in a closed door meeting. Okay. I'd like to know because, because it sounds,
00:21:27.440
I mean, if, if this is just all folks who are all politically correct together, and I'm not saying
00:21:31.140
Doug Ford might not be politically correct too. We're independent here. So we ask questions
00:21:35.740
on behalf of our viewers and we follow the facts wherever they lead. Right. Now it, it might be
00:21:40.420
that this just was someone mentally ill who managed to get a firearm, uh, who managed to get training
00:21:47.180
and calmly and coolly executioner style go down, uh, the street. It might be just a bunch of
00:21:54.440
coincidences and someone mentally ill. It might be, uh, but there's other, uh, hypotheses that we need
00:22:00.540
to vet too. And we're going to keep doing that. Last word to you, David. Last word is Ezra. Is this
00:22:05.160
going to be the so-called new normal when there is a Muslim gunman that the default position is
00:22:11.020
either going to be mental illness or lone wolf? That's what it seems to be. Uh, you know, sort of
00:22:16.960
disassociating the idea that this person is part of our radical Islamic group, such as ISIS. If that
00:22:23.440
is the truth, then why can't we have the truth? What? And, and also, I know that they're saying a
00:22:28.880
history of mental illness. Can we get some proof of that? Can we get a doctor on? Cause I know the
00:22:32.980
how, Oh, his privacy, you can't violate his privacy like that. He's dead man and he's a murderer. He
00:22:38.060
doesn't have any privacy rights. Well, I tell you, David, this is frustrating, but it's moments like
00:22:42.680
these where the value of the rebel is proved because the entire mass of the media, except our
00:22:48.740
friend Joe Warmington of the sun is on the other side. And it's moments like these at the rebel
00:22:52.800
council. And thanks for going down there last night. My pleasure, sir. There you have it. So our
00:22:56.320
friend, David Menzies, who went down there on a moment's notice and went to the home of the
00:23:02.680
terrorist killer and saw it's a little enclave of niqabs and hijabs. I can just bet what the
00:23:10.280
politics is there too. Maybe we'll find out. Stay with us. More ahead on the rebel.
00:23:25.640
Welcome back. Well, I see in the newspaper today, the Calgary Herald, that the Manning Center
00:23:30.240
is closing its doors. They've laid off most of their staff. They're putting at least part of
00:23:36.000
their building up for lease, basically shutting down everything except their conferences. And it
00:23:41.000
wouldn't surprise me if that happens too. And I can't help but think that it comes from Preston
00:23:46.760
Manning's unconservative decision to support a carbon tax or a carbon levy, as he told liberals
00:23:55.040
to call it, to sneak its way through conservatives. Well, it never did sneak its way through conservatives.
00:24:00.020
It was tough enough selling a carbon tax when Alberta was booming. But now that it's economically
00:24:05.180
hurting from a carbon tax, well, that's just poison. It's strange to me why any conservative
00:24:11.260
thought that would be a saleable position. But until quite recently, it was the fashionable
00:24:16.960
thing to say. Green conservatism was supposedly a thing. Well, then this man was elected the leader
00:24:24.480
of Ontario's Conservatives and became Premier. Take a look at Doug Ford just letting a rip on
00:24:31.060
a carbon tax. Today, I want to confirm that in Ontario, the carbon taxes days are numbered.
00:24:36.900
In fact, upon the swearing in of my new cabinet, at the top of our agenda, the very first item
00:24:43.480
will be to pass an order to cancel the Liberal cap and trade carbon tax. As of June the 29th,
00:24:50.480
the cap and trade, the carbon tax, they're gone. They're done.
00:24:57.360
Well, I used to like Doug Ford, but now I got to say, folks, it's love. Joining us now via Skype
00:25:03.420
is our friend Brad Trost, a federal conservative MP for the riding of Saskatoon University. He joins us
00:25:11.160
now via Skype. Brad, great to see you again. You've been a longtime opponent of the carbon tax for a
00:25:16.980
variety of reasons, political, economic. You're a scientist by background. Tell me what you think
00:25:23.220
of this pendulum swinging back so boldly. I mean, I think six months ago, the carbon tax felt like a
00:25:30.200
done deal. Now I wouldn't bet on it at all. Well, I think it's a good thing. I think that one of the
00:25:36.040
best things is when you listen to Ontario, as they've repealed that, more and more news stories are coming
00:25:41.740
out about how the real purpose of the cap and trade carbon tax they had in Ontario was just to spend
00:25:47.480
and buy money and buy votes. And we're hearing one story after another of various groups that got money
00:25:53.060
from this tax grab, this tax grab on consumers' wallets, and they're complaining now that the
00:25:58.260
taps are being turned off. So I'm quite optimistic. A lot of voters suspected it was just a cash grab
00:26:04.680
moralistically sold to them to make them feel good about turning over their money. But with Ontario
00:26:09.460
offside, I'm pretty optimistic that Manitoba and a couple other provinces may rethink their
00:26:15.180
positions. Yeah, it's interesting to me to watch Catherine McKenna, the global warming minister,
00:26:19.680
squawk about it. Her chief complaints about Ontario stopping the carbon tax and the cap and trade
00:26:25.140
are all her crony capitalist insider friends who now won't be getting subsidies for wind and solar and
00:26:33.680
other schemes that have no economic value in them other than they are rent-seeking, a term
00:26:39.440
an economist would use for basically asking for a hand. It's very bizarre to me that her counterpunch
00:26:44.660
to Doug Ford is on these elite business people not getting their, you know, six or seven figure
00:26:50.460
dollar subsidy. It really reveals it just to be a slush fund for insiders. That's how it looks to me.
00:26:56.160
Well, the carbon tax often ends up being a tax on the poor to subsidize the rich. It's interesting to
00:27:02.160
listen to the progressives always talk about how they're in favor of the poor. Well, they make the
00:27:07.380
poor poor. And that's why they talk about then spending the money because they've taken it away
00:27:13.040
in the first place. So it's fascinating to watch. It's one of the reasons I think you're increasingly
00:27:17.580
seeing places not just like North America, but overseas as well. Working class voters are really
00:27:23.940
fed up with the left and are voting for someone who's actually going to defend their jobs and
00:27:28.600
defend their pocketbooks. You know, if you want to work for a living, you have to spend energy
00:27:33.320
and to produce goods, you need fuel. Yeah. You know, it was, I thought it would be impossible
00:27:40.420
to stop a carbon tax once it gets momentum, but Australia proved it was true. Saskatchewan,
00:27:47.420
where you're an MP from, has always been against the carbon tax, both under Pradwell and under the
00:27:52.880
new premier. But I'm looking around the country and Alberta obviously will be anti-carbon tax when
00:27:58.400
Jason Kenney's the premier next year. We see Doug Ford, just all systems go. We see now that New
00:28:04.780
Brunswick is trying to tell Trudeau, well, we've already got a carbon tax. It's called a gasoline tax.
00:28:11.100
So we're done. Thanks very much. We don't need another one. I just see news that Prince Edward
00:28:17.880
Island, they're saying they're only going to tax industrial emitters. And that being a tiny province,
00:28:25.040
it's really no bigger than the university I went to. They only have one industrial emitters called
00:28:29.460
Cavendish Farms. I'll probably get a grant. So everyone is slowly backing away from the disaster
00:28:35.260
that is the Trudeau carbon tax. I really think if I had to bet, I think the thing's going to be
00:28:42.380
stopped. I mean, when you've got liberals like New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island that are like
00:28:46.500
liberal forever saying no thanks, they're obviously not scared anymore. I mean, when Trudeau was new and
00:28:53.460
fresh and high in the polls, he was scary to those liberal premiers. I don't think they're scared
00:28:58.840
anymore. Am I wrong? Well, I think you're absolutely right. I'm out here in Newfoundland
00:29:04.400
this week talking to voters, not just about this issue, but other issues. And I don't hear anyone
00:29:10.900
going around saying the price of gasoline is too low. Make it two bucks a liter. That just doesn't
00:29:16.800
that isn't something that you hear. I drove out to a community two and a half hours outside of the
00:29:23.740
city here last night to talk to some people. And it costs money. If you're a fisherman in Newfoundland,
00:29:30.240
it is expensive to fuel your boats to drive to and from where you need to go to live.
00:29:35.400
People just can't afford this. And energy is one of the inputs to life. It's not like an income tax,
00:29:40.780
it's money after that you've produced. Income tax is bad enough. But the carbon tax takes your money
00:29:46.400
before you even earn income. And that's what makes it even harder for people to deal with than just
00:29:52.100
about anything else. Yeah. Well, I sure am optimistic about it. And when it was just Saskatchewan,
00:29:59.360
I thought, geez, I love Saskatchewan, but they're a smallish province, just over a million folks.
00:30:04.900
And it's a forgotten country for the mainstream media, which is based in Toronto. But I feel like
00:30:10.820
the battle has been joined. And let me credit you as one of the Saskatchewanites who's been fighting
00:30:16.380
against us since the first day. Thank you for holding the line until reinforcements have
00:30:21.900
arrived. I think we're going to win this one. Brad, it's great to talk to you again.
00:30:25.460
Good to see you, Ezra, and keep up the good work.
00:30:27.280
Thanks very much. Well, there you have it. Brad Trost is the Conservative Party MP
00:30:31.440
for the Saskatchewan riding of Saskatoon University. He joined us today from Newfoundland. Stay with us.
00:30:39.080
Hey, welcome back. I'm in monologue yesterday about Tommy Robinson's appeal and the lies about him from
00:30:56.520
the UK media. Eliza writes, good job, Ezra. Welcome back. I bet Tommy and his family were darn glad you were
00:31:02.100
there reporting the truth. I know we were. Well, thanks very much. I saw his folks at court, and
00:31:10.260
they're so cute. Yeah, it was nice. I mean, they're pretty private people, as you can imagine.
00:31:17.840
But yeah, it was great to see them. Lloyd writes, good show, Ezra. You are going to be super busy
00:31:24.320
this week, what with the impending release of Tommy and the Islamic attack in Toronto.
00:31:28.460
Well, I gave you some of my thoughts earlier in the show and the reaction to it by the media party
00:31:33.840
telling me to delete my tweets and shut up, and I'm despicable for asking fairly basic questions.
00:31:38.800
No, no, I don't think I'm going to comply with them. But yeah, I am going to hop back over to
00:31:42.020
London when we know when that appeal will be released. Now, the judges said it would be by the
00:31:46.580
end of July, which is coming up pretty soon. So, I mean, obviously, I'm not going to leave until we
00:31:53.040
know what day the results are in. Now, it's a seven-hour flight from Toronto, and I got to book the
00:31:57.800
ticket and get to the airport and whatever, so I hope that I'll have enough notice to get there
00:32:01.640
on time. But I just can't go there and wait over there. I got to work here. On my interview with
00:32:07.060
Sheila Gunn-Reed, Jonathan writes, after seeing those sorry excuses of Canadian flags at Camp Cloud,
00:32:12.460
I just want to cry. They need to be taken down and simply burned. Not even worth repairing at that
00:32:19.180
point. What a disgusting sight. I'm not sure the proper protocol of what to do with an old flag.
00:32:24.920
Do you burn them or do you bury them? Now, that's being very, you know, etiquette-oriented. I don't
00:32:31.240
know what the right thing is, but they're just generally gross. And I hope you've been tuning
00:32:34.420
into the rest of Sheila's reports from there. You can find them at rebelburnaby.com. Paul writes,
00:32:41.680
these idiot protesters will not comply with any orders as long as they face no real consequences
00:32:45.400
for their actions. Absolutely. And they know they will not face consequences from the mayor of Burnaby,
00:32:51.840
who has effectively said he's one of them, and he sued against the pipeline. From the premier of BC,
00:32:58.200
who is against the pipeline. From Justin Trudeau, who is against the pipeline in reality,
00:33:05.400
and who in fact ordered his former energy minister, Jim Carr, to retract when he said he would have the
00:33:10.920
army enforce the law if necessary. The police have been ordered to, if not stand down, be as lenient as
00:33:18.920
possible and only applied the most minor charges. And the courts have two. Remember, two members of
00:33:24.080
parliament were convicted of breach of a restraining order. Elizabeth May was one of them. What was her
00:33:30.940
sentence? A lawmaker, an MP, breaking a court order, illegally protesting on Kinder Morgan property.
00:33:38.760
$500 fine. There's speeding tickets. There's probably parking tickets close to that. When a member of
00:33:45.920
parliament gets away with a tiny slap on the wrist like that, and probably fundraisers off of that,
00:33:52.860
yeah, these protesters know they're safe. I knew they would be. That's why we had Sheila go out
00:33:57.400
there, because I knew that that eviction would not be followed. It won't be. Well, that's our show for
00:34:03.160
today. I hope you enjoyed it. It's not enjoyable watching this Toronto terror attack. What's interesting
00:34:08.780
to me is Justin Trudeau has had another personal day. He was, this terrorist attack happened Sunday night.
00:34:14.660
Monday, he took a personal day. Today, he took a personal day. And I mean, if this was George W.
00:34:21.780
Bush or Donald Trump hiding in the face of a horrific crime like that, there'd be calls for
00:34:26.800
their impeachment. But Justin Trudeau, don't bother him. Maybe the media know he would just put his foot
00:34:31.560
in his mouth and they're just doing it to protect him. Yeah, Justin, you stay away from the cameras.
00:34:37.020
Well, until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
