Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey, thanks for watching this morning, folks.
00:00:03.300 This is another episode of Stand on Guard.
00:00:05.760 I'm your host, David Creighton.
00:00:07.520 Special guest today is Toronto Sun columnist Brad Hunter.
00:00:11.840 We're going to be talking about the border
00:00:13.560 and what some CBSA whistleblowers were relating to Brad.
00:00:19.800 So stay tuned.
00:00:20.920 This is going to be an exciting adventure.
00:00:30.000 We need a political change.
00:00:40.920 So we also need a resolve to resist.
00:00:53.320 Yes, please like the station now if you can
00:00:55.960 because it helps us overcome the YouTube suppression
00:00:59.100 which stations like this are subject to every time we go on the air.
00:01:04.600 Subscribe if you can.
00:01:06.140 And we really appreciate it.
00:01:07.620 It helps us get our numbers up.
00:01:09.460 Resubscribe if you must
00:01:11.100 because YouTube routinely takes people off subscription.
00:01:15.760 Happens to the best of us.
00:01:17.680 So I'm joined this morning.
00:01:19.620 As I said, welcome, Brad Hunter, to the show.
00:01:23.620 Thank you so much for joining me.
00:01:25.040 David, good to be here.
00:01:26.240 And Brad, you recently, what really excited me is today,
00:01:32.180 I read an article you did on the CBSA,
00:01:36.320 the Canadian Border Service Agency,
00:01:38.740 which a lot of Canadians are tending to blame
00:01:42.000 for some of the border problems.
00:01:44.840 And you talked to some whistleblowers in a column last week,
00:01:49.000 which I found fascinating.
00:01:50.100 I'm just going to read a wee bit of that.
00:01:52.620 And I want to promote your work as much as possible.
00:01:54.380 And by the way, I love the hat.
00:01:56.200 If you hadn't been wearing a fedora,
00:01:58.360 I would have put mine on
00:01:59.480 because I'm a huge Frank Sinatra fan
00:02:03.780 and I actually perform once in a while
00:02:06.160 and I love my fedoras too.
00:02:07.580 So you look like a hard-bitten journalist.
00:02:12.260 I need more.
00:02:13.160 That's what I am.
00:02:14.100 So, you know, you're right here.
00:02:18.580 Criminals, grifters, aspiring terrorists, extremists,
00:02:25.340 and other less-than-savory characters
00:02:26.820 have washed onto Canadian shores
00:02:28.460 in a tsunami of stupidity over the last decade,
00:02:32.760 the past decade.
00:02:33.440 And then we can't get rid of them.
00:02:35.820 Earlier this week,
00:02:36.760 I lambasted the Canadian Border Services Agency
00:02:40.040 for the situation that has become nothing short
00:02:43.180 of a full-blown crisis.
00:02:45.600 But CBSA frontline workers were quick to respond.
00:02:49.640 Don't blame us, a number of them, wrote me.
00:02:52.600 And I'll leave it there for now.
00:02:55.400 What were you hearing
00:02:57.080 from some of these frontline workers, Brad?
00:02:59.700 Well, you know, David,
00:03:02.640 what happens is they catch these people
00:03:05.980 coming into the country.
00:03:07.620 They flag them.
00:03:09.420 They say, you know, go directly to jail.
00:03:13.080 We don't believe your story.
00:03:15.580 And then hire up the food chain.
00:03:19.560 It's okay, you know, we'll let them in.
00:03:24.120 They're okay, right?
00:03:25.140 They get asylum.
00:03:25.940 And the minute they get asylum
00:03:27.340 or are considered for asylum,
00:03:33.220 that's three years.
00:03:34.260 It's going to be at least three years
00:03:36.700 to get rid of them.
00:03:38.660 And these guys know all sorts
00:03:41.280 of nefarious characters.
00:03:42.680 And as well, they also,
00:03:46.520 the guys I talked to said
00:03:48.520 that the Immigration and Refugee Board
00:03:52.300 plays a hand in it.
00:03:54.240 Now, the question is,
00:03:56.040 are they hopelessly naive,
00:03:58.620 hopelessly stupid,
00:03:59.780 or is there something more sinister
00:04:02.160 going on here?
00:04:04.680 But, you know, you see it
00:04:06.880 all through the system.
00:04:10.300 There was the judge in Calgary
00:04:11.840 that I wrote about
00:04:12.940 that a guy had gone down
00:04:16.520 on three sexual assault charges,
00:04:19.880 groping women
00:04:21.580 at a local watering hole.
00:04:24.880 And she didn't want to give him
00:04:28.200 two years
00:04:29.020 because it might impact
00:04:30.920 his immigration status.
00:04:33.320 Now, you know,
00:04:34.920 and we're seeing this
00:04:35.860 in the courtrooms as well.
00:04:38.900 You know, the idea that,
00:04:41.800 I mean, look,
00:04:43.020 I worked at the New York Post
00:04:45.940 for six years.
00:04:46.800 And, you know,
00:04:48.000 as a Canadian citizen,
00:04:50.200 you know,
00:04:50.520 hired off the street
00:04:51.780 sort of thing.
00:04:53.060 But, you know,
00:04:55.700 you know,
00:04:56.800 I knew that a piss up
00:04:58.720 in Peoria
00:04:59.420 on a Saturday night
00:05:00.880 could jeopardize
00:05:02.480 my immigration status.
00:05:04.180 I was in another country.
00:05:05.620 I was not an American citizen.
00:05:07.900 And so I had to watch
00:05:10.360 my behaviors.
00:05:11.520 That doesn't seem
00:05:12.840 to be the rules here.
00:05:15.200 It seems, you know,
00:05:17.220 first, second, third,
00:05:18.480 10 chances
00:05:19.340 and the system
00:05:21.500 bending over backwards
00:05:22.920 and keeping a lid
00:05:25.100 on the information
00:05:27.300 so the rest of us
00:05:28.760 can be informed,
00:05:30.360 can be aware
00:05:31.260 of what decisions
00:05:33.820 are being made
00:05:35.820 on our behalf
00:05:37.360 or not on our behalf,
00:05:38.940 as it were.
00:05:39.500 And one
00:05:42.500 CBSA agent
00:05:44.460 told you,
00:05:45.540 I'm quoting
00:05:46.040 from your column,
00:05:47.740 said,
00:05:48.100 blame the fact
00:05:48.780 that all those criminals
00:05:49.760 are in the country
00:05:50.500 on garbage
00:05:51.400 asylum claims.
00:05:52.700 Once they say
00:05:53.460 the magic word
00:05:54.140 refugee,
00:05:55.400 they're released.
00:05:57.900 Now,
00:05:58.540 of course,
00:05:59.020 we all remember
00:05:59.760 Justin Trudeau
00:06:00.800 in 2017,
00:06:02.720 just after
00:06:03.380 Donald Trump
00:06:04.300 was first elected,
00:06:05.760 putting out,
00:06:06.560 and it was still
00:06:07.160 Twitter in those days,
00:06:08.100 he put out a tweet
00:06:09.000 saying,
00:06:09.560 refugees of the world,
00:06:10.780 come on into Canada.
00:06:13.040 And,
00:06:13.540 of course,
00:06:14.620 that was a disaster.
00:06:15.720 We had
00:06:16.140 Bill Blair
00:06:17.460 as the open,
00:06:18.160 I call them
00:06:18.700 the open borders minister
00:06:20.100 because he did
00:06:21.100 absolutely nothing
00:06:22.220 except stand there
00:06:23.140 with his finger
00:06:23.940 up his behind
00:06:24.740 watching refugees
00:06:26.760 come into the country,
00:06:28.580 one refugee
00:06:29.340 after another.
00:06:30.260 These are all
00:06:30.900 largely bogus claims,
00:06:32.780 especially when they're
00:06:33.360 coming from
00:06:33.880 the United States
00:06:34.820 where there are
00:06:36.120 no refugees.
00:06:36.780 That's not a country,
00:06:38.360 that stands out,
00:06:39.080 refugees.
00:06:40.260 So,
00:06:40.560 are we still
00:06:41.580 playing this game?
00:06:42.520 Is that the lesson
00:06:43.140 of this column?
00:06:44.100 We're still asking
00:06:45.100 refugees to come
00:06:45.880 into the country
00:06:46.360 and it doesn't matter
00:06:47.200 why you call yourself
00:06:48.160 a refugee,
00:06:49.040 just put your hand up
00:06:49.860 and say I'm a refugee
00:06:50.580 and come on in.
00:06:52.540 Yeah,
00:06:52.980 essentially,
00:06:54.380 it's like,
00:06:55.100 you know,
00:06:55.500 the liberals
00:06:56.460 are making noises
00:06:57.700 that they're doing
00:06:58.780 something,
00:06:59.460 and in some ways,
00:07:00.620 in fairness,
00:07:01.900 they are,
00:07:02.760 but there's still
00:07:05.360 ideologically
00:07:06.660 driven
00:07:08.460 in,
00:07:10.180 you know,
00:07:10.820 the prime minister
00:07:11.720 is in wanting
00:07:13.100 that sort of
00:07:14.840 teen vogue
00:07:16.600 kind of love
00:07:18.100 of isn't he handsome,
00:07:19.880 isn't he progressive
00:07:20.720 sort of thing.
00:07:21.660 And I don't think
00:07:22.780 that most Canadians
00:07:23.980 are opposed
00:07:25.620 to refugees,
00:07:26.960 legitimate refugees,
00:07:28.840 but what the liberals
00:07:30.240 have managed
00:07:31.040 to do
00:07:31.700 over the last
00:07:32.680 eight years
00:07:33.600 is shatter
00:07:35.020 a 75-year
00:07:38.600 consensus
00:07:39.680 generally
00:07:40.840 on immigration.
00:07:42.800 No one has
00:07:43.520 a problem
00:07:44.060 with immigrants
00:07:46.600 at all,
00:07:48.260 but what they've
00:07:49.980 done
00:07:50.420 is criminal
00:07:51.160 and now
00:07:53.200 they've,
00:07:53.660 you know,
00:07:53.980 they've compromised
00:07:55.020 so many
00:07:56.700 aspects
00:07:58.020 of government
00:07:59.240 in this
00:08:02.960 pursuit
00:08:03.740 of woke
00:08:04.800 nirvana
00:08:05.400 that,
00:08:06.840 you know,
00:08:07.800 it's tough
00:08:08.300 for the people
00:08:08.860 on the,
00:08:09.300 you know,
00:08:09.840 on the front lines.
00:08:10.700 I mean,
00:08:11.140 essentially,
00:08:12.080 the front line
00:08:12.840 CBSA workers,
00:08:14.180 it makes them sick.
00:08:15.860 Like,
00:08:16.240 you know,
00:08:16.800 I came back
00:08:17.600 in May
00:08:18.200 on a flight
00:08:18.820 from Turkey,
00:08:19.620 one of the world's
00:08:21.200 great
00:08:21.620 drug
00:08:23.200 crossroads
00:08:24.600 of the planet,
00:08:26.700 heroin coming
00:08:27.440 out of Afghanistan
00:08:28.480 and whatnot
00:08:29.220 and making
00:08:30.540 its way
00:08:31.120 to the West
00:08:31.880 and whatnot.
00:08:32.920 And,
00:08:33.560 like,
00:08:34.600 I just put
00:08:35.380 my passport
00:08:36.080 against the thing
00:08:37.260 and,
00:08:38.380 you know,
00:08:39.120 I was back
00:08:39.860 in Canada.
00:08:40.800 None of this,
00:08:42.080 what was the purpose
00:08:43.120 of your trip,
00:08:44.200 sir?
00:08:44.860 And,
00:08:45.420 and that,
00:08:47.220 you know,
00:08:47.960 but the airport
00:08:49.620 was packed
00:08:50.320 as well,
00:08:51.180 you know?
00:08:51.720 I mean,
00:08:52.280 they took a flyer
00:08:53.180 on me
00:08:53.560 and thought,
00:08:54.120 oh,
00:08:54.680 you know,
00:08:55.020 maybe he's not,
00:08:55.900 maybe he doesn't
00:08:56.640 look like he's
00:08:57.480 a 61-year-old man,
00:08:59.860 doesn't look like
00:09:00.560 he's up to
00:09:01.240 anything nefarious
00:09:02.720 and gave me,
00:09:04.120 you know,
00:09:04.300 didn't flag me.
00:09:05.420 But still,
00:09:06.380 you know,
00:09:06.900 it's,
00:09:07.520 you know,
00:09:07.900 of great concern.
00:09:11.440 Yeah,
00:09:11.940 and of course,
00:09:12.480 another one
00:09:13.620 of the people
00:09:14.260 you spoke to
00:09:15.300 said,
00:09:15.840 but just say
00:09:16.740 refugee
00:09:17.740 and it's a get-out-of-jail
00:09:18.980 free card.
00:09:20.240 We detain these
00:09:21.300 individuals
00:09:21.780 in the Liberal
00:09:22.380 IRB,
00:09:23.520 Immigration and
00:09:24.360 Refugee Board
00:09:25.120 members,
00:09:25.920 release them all
00:09:26.540 within 48 hours.
00:09:28.140 They then have
00:09:28.940 their first
00:09:29.700 detention review.
00:09:30.900 Of course,
00:09:31.220 they're also getting
00:09:32.040 legal aid,
00:09:33.160 aren't they?
00:09:33.580 This is still in place.
00:09:34.760 So these people
00:09:35.440 are being actively
00:09:37.220 helped by the
00:09:38.500 Canadian government
00:09:39.280 to essentially
00:09:40.460 beat the system
00:09:41.880 in many cases,
00:09:42.840 aren't they?
00:09:43.580 Well,
00:09:43.880 and there,
00:09:44.640 you know,
00:09:45.080 you've got to remember
00:09:46.000 that this has become
00:09:47.860 a multi-billion,
00:09:49.660 dollar industry.
00:09:52.200 It's,
00:09:53.040 you know,
00:09:53.640 I often refer
00:09:55.680 to the great
00:09:56.360 John Steinbeck
00:09:57.740 in Grapes of Wrath.
00:09:58.820 In the middle of the book,
00:09:59.820 he takes off for four pages
00:10:01.400 and says,
00:10:01.980 here's what I think.
00:10:03.100 But one of the things
00:10:03.900 that always stuck me
00:10:04.860 about that
00:10:05.420 was knowing the difference
00:10:07.180 between,
00:10:08.280 he said,
00:10:08.820 you know,
00:10:08.980 you have to know
00:10:09.700 the difference
00:10:10.340 between results
00:10:12.220 and causes.
00:10:14.020 You know,
00:10:14.560 what we're seeing,
00:10:16.320 the mayhem
00:10:16.940 in the streets,
00:10:17.780 I mean,
00:10:18.120 these are results.
00:10:19.660 And it's,
00:10:22.160 you know,
00:10:22.520 the CBSA agents
00:10:24.080 being handcuffed
00:10:25.200 from doing their jobs.
00:10:26.740 Their job
00:10:27.400 is to protect us,
00:10:29.240 not to be
00:10:29.980 the world's social workers.
00:10:31.960 And yet,
00:10:32.680 that's exactly
00:10:33.800 what the liberal government
00:10:36.160 has turned them into.
00:10:37.380 I mean,
00:10:37.640 you know,
00:10:38.060 they're throwing up
00:10:38.760 their hands.
00:10:39.960 And a lot of them
00:10:41.060 are still doing
00:10:41.760 really,
00:10:42.640 really good,
00:10:44.080 crucial work.
00:10:44.940 But,
00:10:45.820 you know,
00:10:46.660 when they get
00:10:47.200 in front of the IRB
00:10:48.400 or whatnot,
00:10:49.560 I mean,
00:10:50.020 every,
00:10:51.120 you know,
00:10:52.420 there are legitimate,
00:10:53.940 as I said,
00:10:54.720 sob stories
00:10:55.520 that should be listened to
00:10:57.440 and these people
00:10:58.140 should be helped.
00:10:59.260 Problem is,
00:11:00.640 is that
00:11:01.620 I think that
00:11:02.820 the number
00:11:03.780 of legitimate
00:11:04.500 refugees
00:11:05.900 has been
00:11:06.900 greatly outnumbered
00:11:09.260 by the town clowns
00:11:11.980 who don't really
00:11:13.000 have any business
00:11:14.240 being here.
00:11:16.220 Yeah,
00:11:16.860 that's it precisely.
00:11:18.940 And of course,
00:11:19.620 we've heard
00:11:20.120 the same kind
00:11:21.000 of stories
00:11:21.600 from Customs
00:11:22.420 and Border Patrol
00:11:23.360 in the United States.
00:11:25.020 And you worked
00:11:26.000 for the New York Post
00:11:26.840 for six years.
00:11:28.220 And I'm sure
00:11:28.760 you're very acquainted
00:11:29.580 with what has happened
00:11:31.280 at the American border,
00:11:32.980 southern border,
00:11:33.980 under Joe Biden.
00:11:35.480 Literally tens of millions
00:11:37.140 of illegals
00:11:38.520 flowing into the country
00:11:39.760 completely
00:11:40.980 because there was
00:11:42.640 absolutely
00:11:43.460 an open border
00:11:44.500 under Joe Biden.
00:11:46.080 And the
00:11:46.500 border agents
00:11:48.520 were saying
00:11:49.080 the same thing.
00:11:49.980 We can't do
00:11:51.060 our jobs.
00:11:52.260 It's a political
00:11:53.220 process.
00:11:54.680 We're being
00:11:55.580 overruled.
00:11:57.240 So what do you think
00:11:57.980 about
00:11:58.340 what Tom Holman
00:12:00.100 is doing
00:12:00.500 as the borders
00:12:01.160 are in the United States?
00:12:02.360 He started off
00:12:03.520 with criminal
00:12:04.640 illegal aliens
00:12:05.720 and security threats.
00:12:07.700 send them home.
00:12:10.520 Thank God
00:12:11.120 somebody finally
00:12:12.220 started.
00:12:13.460 Phase two
00:12:14.340 will be starting soon
00:12:15.600 which will be
00:12:16.800 larger deportations
00:12:18.380 of illegals.
00:12:19.860 Can you ever see
00:12:20.820 this sort of thing
00:12:21.420 happening in Canada?
00:12:23.840 Well,
00:12:24.960 I think
00:12:27.660 that there's going
00:12:28.640 to be a tightening
00:12:29.380 of it.
00:12:29.760 But I mean,
00:12:30.220 you have to look at it.
00:12:31.480 In 2019,
00:12:32.660 the CBSA
00:12:35.340 had a page
00:12:36.820 that ran
00:12:37.560 for about
00:12:38.140 seven years
00:12:39.280 and it was
00:12:39.580 very successful
00:12:40.440 and it was
00:12:41.500 the people
00:12:42.280 that they were
00:12:43.060 looking for.
00:12:44.240 Most wanted
00:12:45.300 illegal immigrants
00:12:46.740 who were barred
00:12:47.640 from Canada
00:12:48.240 because of criminality
00:12:49.560 or extremist views
00:12:51.520 and whatnot.
00:12:52.180 And they had
00:12:52.820 a page up there
00:12:53.680 with about
00:12:54.160 20 different people
00:12:55.720 and it worked.
00:12:57.700 Well,
00:12:58.320 2019,
00:12:59.660 let's get rid
00:13:00.620 of it.
00:13:01.020 Oh,
00:13:01.280 well,
00:13:01.720 you know,
00:13:02.420 privacy,
00:13:03.560 you know,
00:13:03.840 we got to worry
00:13:04.420 about that
00:13:05.280 and that sort
00:13:07.620 of thing.
00:13:08.040 I mean,
00:13:08.520 CBSA's job
00:13:09.680 is to protect
00:13:10.560 Canadians.
00:13:11.160 As I said,
00:13:12.020 the job isn't
00:13:13.420 to be social
00:13:14.100 workers of the
00:13:14.880 world.
00:13:15.300 I mean,
00:13:15.560 I'd hope
00:13:16.640 that they're fair,
00:13:17.920 that they're just,
00:13:19.660 but,
00:13:20.540 you know,
00:13:21.600 they're not
00:13:22.160 supposed to be
00:13:23.280 suckers either.
00:13:25.160 And that's,
00:13:27.060 you know,
00:13:27.780 up the food chain
00:13:29.040 because,
00:13:29.760 you know,
00:13:30.060 that's what
00:13:30.500 these things
00:13:30.920 happen.
00:13:31.420 The protests
00:13:32.840 running wild
00:13:34.200 in the street,
00:13:35.660 you know,
00:13:36.260 that's only
00:13:37.120 happening because
00:13:38.400 the government
00:13:39.460 has implicitly,
00:13:40.920 you know,
00:13:42.080 turned their back
00:13:43.060 on it or they
00:13:44.040 have winked
00:13:45.480 because,
00:13:46.620 you know,
00:13:47.060 a lot of crime
00:13:48.480 has gone unpunished.
00:13:49.880 It's,
00:13:50.100 you know,
00:13:50.400 the idea of me
00:13:52.780 sitting in the
00:13:53.760 middle of the
00:13:54.300 street and praying
00:13:55.640 on a Tuesday
00:13:56.960 at one o'clock
00:13:57.900 in the afternoon,
00:13:58.920 at one o'clock
00:14:01.100 in the afternoon,
00:14:03.060 you know,
00:14:03.320 I'd be arrested.
00:14:04.220 Of course I would,
00:14:05.280 right?
00:14:05.800 And,
00:14:06.380 and,
00:14:06.960 but,
00:14:07.840 you know,
00:14:08.360 as a friend of mine,
00:14:09.320 one of my best
00:14:10.900 buddies
00:14:11.360 at the Post,
00:14:12.840 he was a former
00:14:13.600 New York City
00:14:14.620 police captain
00:14:15.580 and he was
00:14:16.960 one of the
00:14:17.340 architects
00:14:17.760 of broken
00:14:19.300 windows in
00:14:20.060 Comstatt
00:14:20.780 that dropped
00:14:21.400 the homicide rate
00:14:22.680 or number
00:14:23.320 of homicides
00:14:23.940 in New York
00:14:24.880 from 2,300
00:14:25.780 down to
00:14:27.160 about 350,
00:14:28.080 the same rate
00:14:29.000 it was in
00:14:29.600 1937.
00:14:31.120 But he said,
00:14:32.480 and he says,
00:14:33.160 and this,
00:14:33.540 this stands true
00:14:34.480 as well,
00:14:35.260 is that,
00:14:36.360 that,
00:14:38.080 you know,
00:14:38.620 any solution
00:14:39.940 to crime
00:14:40.800 is political.
00:14:41.900 Any solution
00:14:42.940 to this
00:14:44.040 is also political.
00:14:45.640 There has to be
00:14:46.320 a will
00:14:46.820 to say,
00:14:47.860 you know,
00:14:48.880 we're spending
00:14:50.080 a kabillion
00:14:51.840 dollars
00:14:52.440 on these
00:14:54.220 initiatives
00:14:54.900 that bring
00:14:55.920 absolutely
00:14:56.800 nothing
00:14:57.660 to Canada.
00:14:59.240 I mean,
00:14:59.660 you know,
00:15:00.360 and,
00:15:01.080 you know,
00:15:01.920 that's,
00:15:02.700 until somebody
00:15:04.840 says,
00:15:05.900 yeah,
00:15:06.120 this is a big
00:15:06.840 problem,
00:15:07.320 we've got to
00:15:07.720 clean it up
00:15:08.280 and we've got to
00:15:08.760 be intense
00:15:09.320 about it,
00:15:10.080 you know,
00:15:10.540 and,
00:15:11.440 and quite frankly,
00:15:12.620 the only people
00:15:13.360 against it
00:15:14.040 are the CBC,
00:15:14.880 the Toronto Star
00:15:15.880 and about a thousand
00:15:17.360 people in downtown
00:15:18.520 Toronto and,
00:15:19.560 you know,
00:15:20.700 in North Vancouver.
00:15:22.700 Like,
00:15:23.340 you know,
00:15:24.520 but those people
00:15:25.660 have an outsized
00:15:27.940 voice
00:15:28.760 in the policies
00:15:30.400 and direction
00:15:32.060 of the country.
00:15:33.580 And,
00:15:33.800 yeah,
00:15:34.580 so,
00:15:36.760 well,
00:15:37.760 one more
00:15:38.480 fantastic quote
00:15:40.560 from your,
00:15:41.040 one of your sources
00:15:42.460 where he says,
00:15:43.960 the officer said,
00:15:45.080 frontline workers
00:15:45.880 are being forced
00:15:46.860 to consider
00:15:47.380 every single
00:15:48.380 alternative
00:15:49.040 to detention.
00:15:50.760 If Osama bin Laden
00:15:52.300 was detained
00:15:53.180 and has family
00:15:54.700 in Canada,
00:15:55.320 he would be released
00:15:56.280 on a bond
00:15:56.900 to his family.
00:15:58.160 I think that is
00:15:58.860 one of the most
00:15:59.320 telling remarks
00:16:00.700 in your story
00:16:01.660 because
00:16:02.760 what,
00:16:04.500 national security
00:16:05.540 threats don't matter.
00:16:06.720 It's,
00:16:07.180 it's the process.
00:16:08.400 It's the process
00:16:09.420 the liberal government
00:16:10.420 has massaged
00:16:12.280 over the,
00:16:12.820 over the past decade.
00:16:13.760 and so,
00:16:15.240 it doesn't matter
00:16:15.840 if we're admitting
00:16:16.800 terrorists
00:16:17.360 as long as
00:16:18.020 that terrorist
00:16:19.260 has family.
00:16:20.740 I found that
00:16:21.580 incredible.
00:16:22.440 Well,
00:16:22.720 yeah,
00:16:23.040 I mean,
00:16:23.400 the,
00:16:24.040 it's like a lot
00:16:25.400 of things
00:16:25.900 and it's in the
00:16:26.560 courts too,
00:16:27.540 this bending
00:16:28.600 over backwards
00:16:29.660 and twisting
00:16:30.380 ourselves
00:16:31.340 into knots
00:16:33.000 to make
00:16:33.880 this thing
00:16:34.660 happen
00:16:35.540 when,
00:16:36.540 you know,
00:16:37.800 you,
00:16:38.400 you know,
00:16:39.720 dial up
00:16:40.300 the first 10
00:16:41.000 names in the
00:16:41.720 phone book,
00:16:42.600 you know,
00:16:43.080 I'm dating myself
00:16:44.180 of course,
00:16:44.860 but,
00:16:45.500 you know,
00:16:46.080 and,
00:16:46.480 and,
00:16:46.780 and ask,
00:16:48.000 and ask those
00:16:48.820 people what they
00:16:49.720 think and they'd
00:16:50.700 tell you it's
00:16:51.200 ridiculous.
00:16:51.660 It's insane.
00:16:53.000 It's a bad
00:16:53.640 idea.
00:16:54.860 And yet,
00:16:55.380 but the government
00:16:58.060 from top to
00:16:59.040 bottom,
00:16:59.460 from the political
00:17:00.340 operatives
00:17:01.140 to the
00:17:03.260 bureaucracies
00:17:04.860 are so
00:17:06.300 infested
00:17:08.620 with this,
00:17:10.040 with this,
00:17:10.680 you know,
00:17:12.160 lack of a better
00:17:13.000 word,
00:17:13.340 and it's kind
00:17:13.880 of beaten to
00:17:14.380 death,
00:17:14.740 but woke
00:17:15.140 virus that,
00:17:17.220 you know,
00:17:18.220 it's going to
00:17:18.740 take years
00:17:19.660 to untangle.
00:17:21.100 Like,
00:17:21.220 you know,
00:17:21.380 as one of the
00:17:22.260 CBSA officers
00:17:23.380 said,
00:17:23.780 it's going to
00:17:24.080 take years,
00:17:25.320 years to get
00:17:26.860 out of this.
00:17:28.880 Yeah,
00:17:29.380 I think you're
00:17:29.860 right.
00:17:30.060 Talk about
00:17:30.540 the,
00:17:30.820 names in
00:17:31.940 the phone
00:17:32.280 book.
00:17:32.540 I remember
00:17:32.960 William F.
00:17:33.540 Buckley Jr.
00:17:34.900 once saying
00:17:35.320 he'd rather be
00:17:37.120 governed by the
00:17:37.660 first hundred
00:17:38.100 names in the
00:17:38.800 New York City
00:17:39.320 phone book than
00:17:39.980 the first hundred
00:17:40.540 names of the
00:17:41.080 Harvard faculty.
00:17:42.560 And I think
00:17:42.980 that's exactly
00:17:43.780 where we've
00:17:45.060 come to today.
00:17:46.100 There's a lot
00:17:46.720 more common
00:17:47.160 sense.
00:17:47.920 Well,
00:17:48.440 every day,
00:17:48.960 I mean,
00:17:50.140 you know,
00:17:50.560 you see stories
00:17:51.320 that people,
00:17:54.540 you know,
00:17:54.740 who could
00:17:55.640 possibly think
00:17:56.740 this is a
00:17:57.440 good idea?
00:17:58.660 Like,
00:17:58.860 you know,
00:17:59.360 who would
00:18:00.280 think that,
00:18:01.560 you know,
00:18:02.500 letting in a
00:18:03.280 guy who
00:18:03.880 beheaded a
00:18:04.620 guy in
00:18:05.580 Iraq,
00:18:06.780 letting him
00:18:07.160 into Canada
00:18:07.900 was a good
00:18:08.940 idea.
00:18:09.420 Why didn't
00:18:09.780 you do due
00:18:10.380 diligence?
00:18:11.180 Why?
00:18:11.940 I mean,
00:18:12.660 you know,
00:18:14.000 hypothetically,
00:18:14.880 I mean,
00:18:15.360 not hypothetically,
00:18:18.240 but why
00:18:18.920 wouldn't you
00:18:19.580 do due
00:18:21.080 diligence?
00:18:22.520 You know
00:18:23.080 what's going
00:18:24.040 on in that
00:18:24.700 corner of the
00:18:25.400 world,
00:18:26.060 right?
00:18:27.020 And,
00:18:27.540 you know,
00:18:29.640 judging from
00:18:30.300 what I've
00:18:30.860 seen,
00:18:31.320 a cursory
00:18:32.140 search,
00:18:33.380 a bit of a
00:18:33.840 dig,
00:18:34.140 and people
00:18:34.740 who have
00:18:35.120 far more
00:18:36.100 information at
00:18:36.940 their fingertips
00:18:37.540 than you or
00:18:38.160 I do,
00:18:39.260 would turn
00:18:41.100 up a
00:18:41.900 massive red
00:18:43.080 flag that
00:18:44.100 says bad
00:18:45.400 idea.
00:18:48.160 Yeah,
00:18:49.000 very bad
00:18:50.020 idea.
00:18:50.600 He talked
00:18:51.080 about political
00:18:51.940 will being
00:18:53.540 integral to
00:18:54.920 any changes
00:18:55.600 happening with
00:18:56.420 this,
00:18:56.940 with our
00:18:57.340 border security.
00:18:59.700 Supposedly,
00:19:00.380 we have
00:19:00.760 political will
00:19:01.440 right now
00:19:01.900 because Donald
00:19:02.500 Trump insisted
00:19:03.480 upon greater
00:19:05.380 border security
00:19:06.260 or else 25%
00:19:07.900 across the board
00:19:08.540 tariff.
00:19:09.640 Justin Trudeau
00:19:10.180 apparently responded
00:19:11.260 to that,
00:19:12.140 and we got a
00:19:13.760 reprieve,
00:19:14.260 a 30-day
00:19:14.820 reprieve on
00:19:15.680 this tariff.
00:19:16.980 I'm not sure
00:19:17.720 Justin Trudeau
00:19:18.500 really did
00:19:19.140 respond to it.
00:19:19.760 I'll tell you
00:19:20.180 why,
00:19:20.600 and I just
00:19:20.920 want your
00:19:21.320 thoughts on
00:19:22.080 this,
00:19:22.260 because he
00:19:23.120 promised 10,000
00:19:24.840 front-line
00:19:25.640 personnel,
00:19:27.320 and I'm not
00:19:28.080 sure what the
00:19:28.640 hell front-line
00:19:29.540 personnel means
00:19:30.520 because he
00:19:31.600 intentionally did
00:19:32.520 not say
00:19:33.060 soldiers,
00:19:34.080 troops,
00:19:34.900 military
00:19:35.280 personnel.
00:19:36.340 He didn't
00:19:36.880 identify cops,
00:19:38.520 police,
00:19:39.500 CBSA agents,
00:19:40.540 just front-line
00:19:41.640 personnel.
00:19:42.080 These front-line
00:19:43.380 personnel have
00:19:44.000 not appeared
00:19:44.580 anywhere magically
00:19:45.560 at the border
00:19:46.140 since he made
00:19:47.040 that promise,
00:19:47.980 and they don't
00:19:48.700 appear to be
00:19:49.280 coming to the
00:19:49.860 border any
00:19:50.440 time soon.
00:19:53.140 We now have
00:19:54.440 a, I
00:19:55.560 hesitate to
00:19:56.740 use the
00:19:57.540 F word,
00:19:58.760 but it's that
00:19:59.400 drug that
00:20:00.120 YouTube doesn't
00:20:00.780 like us to
00:20:01.540 talk about,
00:20:02.920 czar at the
00:20:04.420 border.
00:20:05.420 But, you know,
00:20:06.340 what really kills
00:20:07.060 me, Brad,
00:20:07.580 is that every
00:20:09.000 time our border
00:20:09.860 security is
00:20:10.680 mentioned,
00:20:11.180 the mainstream
00:20:12.600 media, with
00:20:13.660 exception of
00:20:15.640 your paper and
00:20:17.380 other Sun
00:20:18.160 papers, love
00:20:19.780 to say, hey,
00:20:20.840 we have a
00:20:21.340 $1.3 billion
00:20:23.000 border plan.
00:20:26.060 And I'm
00:20:27.040 saying, have
00:20:27.360 you guys
00:20:27.700 looked at
00:20:28.480 that $1.3
00:20:29.420 billion border
00:20:30.520 plan?
00:20:30.920 Because it's
00:20:31.420 in the fall
00:20:32.380 economic statement.
00:20:33.920 If you read
00:20:34.700 the fine print,
00:20:36.000 all of that
00:20:37.380 $1.3 billion,
00:20:38.320 or virtually
00:20:39.800 all of it,
00:20:40.340 is spent in
00:20:41.020 years three,
00:20:42.180 four, and
00:20:42.640 six.
00:20:43.000 It's a six-year
00:20:43.740 plan.
00:20:44.920 There's virtually
00:20:45.420 no money being
00:20:46.280 spent this
00:20:47.440 year or next
00:20:48.220 year.
00:20:49.120 There's more
00:20:49.840 money on the
00:20:50.600 gun grab being
00:20:51.860 spent by the
00:20:52.400 Trudeau government
00:20:52.980 than border
00:20:53.680 security.
00:20:54.360 This so-called
00:20:55.660 border plan is
00:20:57.140 totally
00:20:58.140 fabricated.
00:21:01.160 Yeah, I
00:21:01.640 mean, that's
00:21:02.500 the thing.
00:21:03.400 I mean, the
00:21:03.700 gun thing to
00:21:04.340 me, you
00:21:04.800 know, has
00:21:05.340 always been
00:21:07.340 a red
00:21:09.600 herring,
00:21:10.720 you know,
00:21:11.460 and that,
00:21:13.380 you know,
00:21:13.660 yeah, we're
00:21:14.200 going to,
00:21:14.580 you know, just
00:21:15.040 to appease
00:21:16.060 the good
00:21:17.740 folks of
00:21:18.420 the annex
00:21:19.080 and academic
00:21:20.260 lounges,
00:21:21.460 you know,
00:21:22.160 but it was
00:21:23.980 always a red
00:21:25.040 herring, you
00:21:26.240 know, but
00:21:27.100 that's sort of
00:21:28.160 what they like
00:21:28.840 to do, is
00:21:29.660 they say,
00:21:30.760 we're going
00:21:31.120 to do this,
00:21:32.240 we're going
00:21:32.820 to, you
00:21:33.880 know, operate
00:21:35.140 in this sort
00:21:35.860 of thing,
00:21:36.240 and then do
00:21:37.220 absolutely
00:21:38.020 nothing,
00:21:39.000 because they're
00:21:41.160 going to do
00:21:41.460 absolutely
00:21:42.020 nothing, and
00:21:42.680 part of that
00:21:43.120 reason is
00:21:44.580 because, as
00:21:46.060 you know,
00:21:47.940 global affairs
00:21:48.840 minister,
00:21:49.400 Melanie Jolie
00:21:50.680 said, you
00:21:51.440 know, have
00:21:51.840 you seen the
00:21:52.400 demographics in
00:21:53.320 my writing?
00:21:54.960 And that's
00:21:56.160 what drives
00:21:57.900 them, keeping
00:21:58.480 power is what
00:21:59.320 drives them, not
00:22:00.120 good governance.
00:22:00.880 governments, and
00:22:04.000 you know, it's
00:22:07.160 that's going to
00:22:09.020 be the way
00:22:10.880 they continue
00:22:11.540 to operate
00:22:12.280 until they're
00:22:13.720 put in the
00:22:14.340 penalty box for
00:22:15.260 a good decade,
00:22:16.980 because everything
00:22:19.160 about these guys
00:22:20.940 is politics,
00:22:22.220 right?
00:22:22.520 It's, you
00:22:23.240 know, just,
00:22:24.320 you know, how
00:22:25.620 about just a
00:22:26.520 little sense on
00:22:28.060 some of these
00:22:29.060 things?
00:22:29.360 I mean, I
00:22:30.840 saw a story
00:22:31.860 that, in the
00:22:33.420 Toronto Star, of
00:22:34.860 course, yesterday
00:22:37.560 about, about
00:22:40.140 Gazan, families
00:22:43.380 of Gazan
00:22:44.140 refugees who
00:22:45.040 haven't been
00:22:45.520 allowed into the
00:22:46.380 country yet,
00:22:47.460 they're suing
00:22:48.040 Canada because
00:22:48.920 they haven't
00:22:49.620 brought them
00:22:50.140 into Canada
00:22:50.780 quick enough.
00:22:52.060 Now, you
00:22:55.680 know, bringing
00:22:56.340 these people in
00:22:57.380 when nobody
00:22:59.620 in the Middle
00:23:00.160 East is going
00:23:00.860 to take
00:23:01.260 them, and
00:23:01.880 suckers we
00:23:03.560 are standing
00:23:04.440 there, bring
00:23:05.360 them in, but
00:23:06.220 this is more
00:23:07.600 virtue signaling
00:23:09.100 and, and,
00:23:10.440 and, and
00:23:11.120 a calculated,
00:23:13.320 a calculated,
00:23:16.400 you know, vote
00:23:18.460 grab as well,
00:23:19.620 and everything,
00:23:21.060 when everything
00:23:21.700 runs like
00:23:22.580 that, you
00:23:23.780 know, you
00:23:25.400 know, sense
00:23:25.960 doesn't come
00:23:27.280 into it, and,
00:23:28.840 you know, it's
00:23:29.240 only to that
00:23:30.280 end.
00:23:30.760 It's, it's,
00:23:33.020 like a friend
00:23:33.960 of mine once
00:23:34.960 took a, a
00:23:36.900 course on rock
00:23:37.820 and roll at
00:23:38.980 Carleton
00:23:39.560 University, and
00:23:40.860 in describing
00:23:42.060 heavy metal, the
00:23:43.180 instructor said,
00:23:44.180 you know, metal
00:23:45.520 has no past, it
00:23:47.280 has no future,
00:23:48.220 it lives only
00:23:49.460 in the present,
00:23:50.800 and that's what
00:23:51.980 the liberals
00:23:52.420 are.
00:23:54.580 Yeah, so, do
00:23:55.960 you think the
00:23:57.120 Trudeau government
00:23:57.720 is making enough
00:23:58.820 effort to secure
00:24:01.180 the border to a
00:24:02.700 degree that's
00:24:03.500 going to satisfy
00:24:04.420 Donald Trump so
00:24:06.020 we can continue to
00:24:06.920 get a reprieve from
00:24:07.740 this cross-the-board
00:24:08.460 terror?
00:24:09.380 God, no.
00:24:10.420 I mean, the
00:24:11.080 thing is, is
00:24:11.800 Trudeau's going to,
00:24:12.820 I mean, he's
00:24:13.640 like, you know,
00:24:14.560 they're like, you
00:24:16.100 know, the bad
00:24:17.800 kid, I mean, you
00:24:19.000 know, I always
00:24:19.700 knew when my
00:24:20.340 kids were, my
00:24:22.120 kids were lying
00:24:23.120 to me, and, you
00:24:24.140 know, I said, you
00:24:24.620 gotta get, you
00:24:25.140 gotta get better
00:24:25.860 at lying, right?
00:24:27.200 And, and, but,
00:24:28.820 you know, they
00:24:29.280 think they're
00:24:29.720 getting away with
00:24:30.580 it, you know, when
00:24:31.360 they're seven, eight
00:24:32.180 years old, and,
00:24:33.740 you know, I see the
00:24:34.780 government as the
00:24:35.920 same way, it's
00:24:37.180 living only in the
00:24:39.100 moment, and it's,
00:24:41.060 you know, I hope
00:24:42.420 mom isn't pissed
00:24:43.680 with me about this,
00:24:45.400 maybe she'll forget
00:24:46.660 about it, maybe,
00:24:48.040 you know, and
00:24:48.760 that's how they're
00:24:49.620 approaching it, and
00:24:50.600 that's a disaster.
00:24:53.980 Yeah, I, I
00:24:54.980 couldn't, I
00:24:55.480 couldn't agree
00:24:55.880 more.
00:24:56.340 I just hope,
00:24:57.460 because I
00:24:58.020 certainly don't
00:24:58.500 want to see the
00:24:59.240 tariff, I don't
00:24:59.820 want the trade
00:25:00.560 war, it's going to
00:25:01.480 be bad for, for
00:25:02.400 both of us, but I,
00:25:03.960 I kind of hope
00:25:04.640 Donald Trump
00:25:05.100 doesn't notice, but
00:25:06.020 I, I, I think I'm
00:25:07.440 deceiving myself when
00:25:08.460 I, when I say that,
00:25:10.000 because I, and I'm
00:25:10.940 not, you know, with
00:25:12.040 our new, uh, F
00:25:14.140 czar, and I'll
00:25:15.120 have to say that,
00:25:15.800 because we're, we're
00:25:16.680 getting dinged all
00:25:17.440 the time for, for
00:25:18.180 using that drug
00:25:18.900 word on the
00:25:20.340 broadcast.
00:25:21.320 It's incredible,
00:25:22.280 yeah, the
00:25:22.880 censorship's
00:25:23.420 incredible, but
00:25:24.160 the, this so-called
00:25:25.960 czar is not even
00:25:27.360 being called a
00:25:28.080 czar, he's being
00:25:28.660 called like a
00:25:29.280 commissioner for, for
00:25:31.100 this, uh, for this
00:25:32.240 problem, and of
00:25:33.380 course he's an, he's
00:25:34.180 a former deputy
00:25:34.860 RCMP commissioner
00:25:36.340 who's worked as a
00:25:37.760 deputy minister with
00:25:39.220 the Trudeau
00:25:39.580 government.
00:25:40.120 He's been an
00:25:40.540 advisor to Justin
00:25:41.420 Trudeau for the
00:25:42.700 past six years.
00:25:44.600 He's been in the
00:25:45.220 liberal government
00:25:45.880 since 2019, since
00:25:47.260 he left the RCMP.
00:25:48.520 I am not at all
00:25:49.740 assured that this
00:25:51.420 guy can do the
00:25:52.840 job with his
00:25:53.600 background and his
00:25:54.540 close connections to
00:25:55.900 the government, and
00:25:56.900 it, personally, I, I
00:25:59.100 don't know if he's
00:25:59.780 going to wash either,
00:26:01.320 but at least they
00:26:02.880 appointed somebody.
00:26:04.100 I was recommending
00:26:05.100 someone outside of
00:26:06.400 the government, like,
00:26:07.380 like former chief of
00:26:08.460 defense staff, Rick
00:26:09.260 Hillier.
00:26:10.080 I thought he would
00:26:10.920 have been an
00:26:11.220 excellent choice, but.
00:26:13.220 Well, yeah, but the
00:26:14.280 thing is, is it's
00:26:15.500 like a lot of
00:26:16.600 these, you know, a
00:26:18.980 lot of the
00:26:19.520 initiatives from this
00:26:20.980 government is the
00:26:23.080 result is
00:26:23.880 predetermined.
00:26:24.980 And, you know, I
00:26:25.640 can't help but think
00:26:27.800 that, you know, they
00:26:29.100 don't want this
00:26:29.840 problem solved, because
00:26:31.360 if this problem gets
00:26:34.020 solved, then you start
00:26:35.620 peeling back some
00:26:36.820 layers and revealing
00:26:38.860 some very ugly
00:26:40.020 truths.
00:26:40.580 So, you know, I
00:26:42.160 mean, you know, years
00:26:43.400 ago, a stupid sort
00:26:45.780 of anecdote, but, you
00:26:48.620 know, I was working
00:26:49.680 at a twice-weekly
00:26:50.720 paper in Thunder
00:26:51.700 Bay.
00:26:52.080 I was the editor
00:26:52.680 there a lifetime
00:26:54.540 ago, but, but so,
00:26:57.740 you know, I had to
00:26:58.500 fill, didn't have
00:26:59.200 wires or anything
00:27:00.000 like that.
00:27:00.380 It was just community
00:27:01.200 paper.
00:27:01.600 I had to fill like
00:27:02.500 three inches on a
00:27:04.440 Friday afternoon of
00:27:05.680 something, and I
00:27:06.460 grabbed, I grabbed,
00:27:08.040 I grabbed an annual
00:27:09.580 report.
00:27:10.580 off of some
00:27:14.840 charity, and, you
00:27:16.060 know, I just, you
00:27:16.620 know, I was anxious
00:27:17.420 to get to the bar,
00:27:18.300 and I just banged
00:27:19.320 it out, you know,
00:27:20.360 and left, didn't
00:27:21.680 think about it,
00:27:22.760 another thought.
00:27:23.620 I didn't even
00:27:24.080 absorb what I was
00:27:26.200 typing in, but
00:27:27.500 Monday, this charity
00:27:29.560 is freaked out, and
00:27:31.420 they're freaked out
00:27:32.320 because I included
00:27:33.960 that, you know, 65%
00:27:38.920 of the money they
00:27:39.740 took in went to
00:27:40.960 administration, and
00:27:43.040 so, you know,
00:27:45.260 Quo Bono has
00:27:47.000 become, you know,
00:27:48.340 part of a
00:27:49.360 cornerstone of my
00:27:50.360 life philosophy, and
00:27:51.860 that's who benefits.
00:27:53.580 So, you know, I
00:27:56.040 mean, everything, I
00:27:58.620 mean, everything the
00:27:59.740 liberals are doing
00:28:00.560 are for this minute,
00:28:02.000 not for 10 minutes
00:28:03.800 down the road or
00:28:05.460 anything.
00:28:05.820 I mean, even the
00:28:07.440 absurd announcement
00:28:08.740 on the high-speed
00:28:09.800 rail, I mean, you
00:28:11.800 know, that's for this
00:28:14.100 minute, even though
00:28:14.920 ostensibly it's
00:28:15.840 supposed to be for
00:28:17.380 the future, but it's
00:28:18.660 for this minute.
00:28:19.940 It's to get them
00:28:20.980 elected, and to keep
00:28:22.760 that apparatus that
00:28:24.820 has sent the country
00:28:25.680 down the tubes in
00:28:27.340 place.
00:28:27.760 not a lot of
00:28:29.680 people traveling from
00:28:30.960 Toronto to Quebec
00:28:31.980 City.
00:28:32.420 I couldn't believe
00:28:33.480 this, but once
00:28:34.420 again, there's no
00:28:35.100 end to Justin
00:28:35.640 Trudeau's largesse to
00:28:37.820 certain parts of the
00:28:38.460 country, and to his
00:28:40.160 incredible ability to
00:28:41.960 waste taxpayer
00:28:42.580 dollars.
00:28:43.840 Why Quebec City?
00:28:46.760 Toronto to Quebec
00:28:47.620 City?
00:28:48.040 Are all of you folks in
00:28:49.360 Toronto traveling to
00:28:50.360 Quebec City?
00:28:51.500 No, no.
00:28:52.540 I mean, you know,
00:28:54.280 some of it is, go back
00:28:55.860 to Montreal, that's a
00:28:56.860 heavy travel route, but
00:28:58.060 you know, and there's
00:29:00.000 another, you know, but
00:29:02.100 you could also make the
00:29:03.500 argument that, you
00:29:05.080 know, there's, you
00:29:06.140 know, a million people
00:29:07.500 west of Toronto and
00:29:09.720 southwestern Ontario and
00:29:11.160 London and Windsor and
00:29:12.300 stuff like that.
00:29:13.100 Well, you know, I mean,
00:29:14.540 shouldn't that service
00:29:15.500 extend there?
00:29:16.340 I mean, you can go on
00:29:17.380 and on.
00:29:18.180 You know, I don't even
00:29:19.340 know where this came
00:29:20.360 from, but I mean, you
00:29:22.260 know, back to the crime
00:29:23.380 thing and whatnot, that
00:29:25.140 you know, cops are, you
00:29:28.420 know, rearresting people
00:29:30.940 like six, seven, eight
00:29:33.400 times.
00:29:34.120 They've already been
00:29:35.000 busted.
00:29:35.980 And of course, because
00:29:37.020 there's no
00:29:38.340 consequences for breaching
00:29:43.560 their bail, you know,
00:29:46.400 they're, you know, they're
00:29:47.460 released again and they go
00:29:48.560 commit more crimes.
00:29:49.700 Cops bust them again and
00:29:50.840 on and on and on and it
00:29:51.920 goes.
00:29:52.220 Right.
00:29:52.660 And and, you know, I
00:29:56.140 mean, there's a reckoning
00:29:57.420 coming.
00:29:57.960 Right.
00:29:58.260 I, you know, does it
00:29:59.200 take, you know, the
00:30:00.140 prime minister's kid
00:30:01.260 getting shot dead in the
00:30:02.440 middle of the street on
00:30:03.360 a Tuesday afternoon by a
00:30:04.760 stray bullet?
00:30:05.620 I don't know.
00:30:06.580 I mean, nothing else seems
00:30:07.760 to move the needle.
00:30:08.760 I mean, you know, child
00:30:10.200 murders, terror plots,
00:30:14.040 nothing seems to move
00:30:15.220 them.
00:30:15.740 So, you know, I, I don't
00:30:17.780 know.
00:30:18.100 I mean, yeah, and, and
00:30:20.300 they, then they'll go to
00:30:21.660 the old chestnut of, you
00:30:23.500 know, privacy concerns and
00:30:25.400 the Supreme Court weigh in
00:30:27.900 but, you know, cruel and
00:30:31.320 inhumane sort of thing.
00:30:33.100 Well, getting, getting down
00:30:36.740 to my second to last
00:30:38.040 question and I really
00:30:40.020 appreciate you being here
00:30:41.540 again, Brad.
00:30:42.740 This is a little bit out of
00:30:44.420 your crime beat, but just, I
00:30:45.900 just wanted your opinion as a
00:30:47.680 damn good journalist and
00:30:49.200 someone who understands what
00:30:50.540 people are saying.
00:30:52.380 Right.
00:30:52.660 Uh, Warren Kinsella, one of
00:30:54.840 your, you know, columnists
00:30:56.240 at the Toronto Sun, and I
00:30:57.440 actually know Warren from
00:30:59.020 university days, but he was
00:31:02.060 one of the only liberals who,
00:31:03.860 who mused about the fact that
00:31:07.160 the liberal government could
00:31:08.400 hang on until October 2026.
00:31:12.400 Everybody else was saying, no,
00:31:13.880 can't happen.
00:31:15.040 There's legislation, but of
00:31:16.640 course the constitution is still
00:31:17.820 there saying that there is,
00:31:19.880 it's possible to stay in power
00:31:21.500 for five years.
00:31:22.200 Now, Karina Gould, who had, I
00:31:24.600 have nothing but contempt for
00:31:26.620 Karina Gould, the liberal
00:31:28.280 house leader, because she's
00:31:30.140 the one that wanted to redact
00:31:31.720 all of the information from
00:31:33.300 Hansard in the house of
00:31:34.480 commons that there was ever a
00:31:36.220 former Waffen SS member
00:31:38.080 invited to sit in the
00:31:40.720 parliamentary gas.
00:31:41.460 She wanted that completely
00:31:42.400 censored.
00:31:43.280 That could never happen.
00:31:44.240 How Orwellian is that?
00:31:46.400 But here's Karina Gould musing
00:31:48.800 about staying in power.
00:31:51.140 until October 2026.
00:31:54.040 If we are in a full-blown
00:31:55.720 tariff war with the U.S.,
00:31:58.080 that might be a reason not to
00:32:00.560 go to the polls.
00:32:02.760 And here's Mark Carney.
00:32:05.160 Yes, and Mark Carney's asked the
00:32:06.920 same question.
00:32:08.140 He originally, when he ran, when
00:32:10.280 he started running for leader,
00:32:11.760 said, I'm going to have an early
00:32:13.660 election.
00:32:14.100 Now, he's not answering.
00:32:16.760 Will you call an election if you
00:32:18.500 win?
00:32:27.060 Will you call an election if you
00:32:28.880 win the leadership?
00:32:31.260 Mark, will you call an election
00:32:33.680 if you win?
00:32:34.320 Let me know.
00:32:36.120 You're giving me your advice.
00:32:38.220 Nope.
00:32:38.580 Not going to tackle that one.
00:32:41.380 But I guess a two-fold question at
00:32:43.760 the end here.
00:32:44.980 Do you really think it's possible
00:32:47.340 that we're going to have to put up
00:32:48.380 with this corrupt, invasive, inept
00:32:51.600 Trudeau government for another, what,
00:32:55.600 16 months or more?
00:32:58.220 Well, I think it's, I believe it's
00:32:59.640 really a real possibility.
00:33:02.120 It's something, it's something I've,
00:33:04.000 you know, I've thought about is
00:33:06.460 that, you know, the Puppet Masters,
00:33:09.020 you know, they're, there's a lot of
00:33:11.820 money at stake as we've seen Green
00:33:14.620 Slush Fund and other things like
00:33:16.480 that.
00:33:16.900 There's a lot of money at stake.
00:33:20.360 They will hang on and do everything
00:33:24.340 possible, except take their record
00:33:28.120 to the Canadian people.
00:33:30.040 I believe that that's a very real
00:33:33.520 threat.
00:33:34.820 What does Jagmeet Singh do?
00:33:36.800 Does he, does he do something to try
00:33:40.300 to rehabilitate his dishonored image?
00:33:45.240 I mean, you know, there's been times
00:33:47.100 I voted for the NDP and I voted for
00:33:49.280 them, not necessarily because I'm
00:33:51.520 ideologically lockstep with them,
00:33:53.780 by any means, but I voted for them
00:33:57.180 because I want them to keep the two
00:33:59.160 other parties honest.
00:34:01.920 Jagmeet Singh has washed that down the
00:34:06.480 drain, you know, now he's just a
00:34:09.000 toady for the government, you know.
00:34:12.060 I couldn't agree more.
00:34:13.660 He has totally destabilized the NDP.
00:34:18.540 And I think if you talk to caucus
00:34:20.760 members quietly anyway, they won't say
00:34:23.160 this publicly, but they have lost
00:34:24.820 confidence in Jagmeet Singh.
00:34:27.240 And it's interesting, every time Jagmeet
00:34:28.820 Singh does a news conference, you see
00:34:30.340 people like Peter Julian, their house
00:34:33.620 leader, standing behind him, almost
00:34:35.360 daring him to say again, we're going to
00:34:37.920 prop up the liberal government for as long
00:34:40.400 as it takes.
00:34:42.100 As you know, the caucus, the NDP caucus
00:34:45.200 knows they are facing potentially extinction
00:34:48.420 in the next election.
00:34:50.300 And they're worried.
00:34:51.620 They're very concerned.
00:34:52.600 And I have to agree with you.
00:34:54.200 It's sometimes it's nice to have a third
00:34:55.760 party to keep them honest because I'm in
00:34:57.980 the bag for no political party.
00:34:59.560 I've worked in Parliament Hill.
00:35:01.140 I know they always disappoint you.
00:35:03.080 I never never trust a politician as far as
00:35:05.460 you can throw them because they they're
00:35:06.960 always about their self-interest in the end.
00:35:09.560 This is why journalists have got to be
00:35:11.960 objective and have got to have got to view
00:35:14.220 politicians as part of the problem, not the
00:35:18.260 solution.
00:35:19.080 We need smaller government, not larger.
00:35:22.020 And I will I will continue to fight for
00:35:24.100 that.
00:35:24.420 And I'll end it with this, Brad.
00:35:26.780 Mark Carney intrigues me.
00:35:28.860 And I'll tell you I'll tell you why, because
00:35:30.380 I don't think he's anything like the
00:35:33.180 mainstream media is presenting him as some
00:35:35.020 sort of political savior.
00:35:36.740 He might be improving the fortunes of the
00:35:39.020 Liberal Party, although I think a lot of
00:35:40.520 those polls are completely skewed.
00:35:42.200 But to me, he comes across like a
00:35:45.980 character.
00:35:46.660 And I've done a little vignette about this
00:35:48.420 on my on my program.
00:35:50.100 A 1979 and you're probably old enough like
00:35:53.080 I am to remember this movie.
00:35:54.580 It was called Being There with Peter
00:35:56.400 Sellers, second to last movie, where he
00:35:58.740 plays a very simple minded man who has
00:36:01.820 learned everything in his life from
00:36:03.100 watching TV.
00:36:04.260 And he simply repeats the talking points
00:36:06.460 or the narrative he's learned from
00:36:08.860 television.
00:36:09.340 And when I see Mark Carney speak, I think
00:36:13.020 it's Chauncey Gardiner.
00:36:14.660 He's got nothing original to say.
00:36:17.180 He just reads off talking points and he
00:36:19.540 comes across to me like Trudeau and
00:36:21.140 Valium, like Justin Trudeau and Valium.
00:36:22.920 He is so boring.
00:36:24.540 He is so like he has no engagement
00:36:26.680 powers.
00:36:27.500 He has no warmth.
00:36:29.240 He has absolutely nothing to offer as a
00:36:31.840 politician except to say that I've never
00:36:33.680 been one.
00:36:34.220 But do you think that Carney is in any way
00:36:39.140 serious about a middle class tax cut?
00:36:41.700 He already has backtracked on his on his
00:36:44.660 promise to balance the budget.
00:36:46.920 I don't know if you noticed that last week
00:36:48.420 he was in Kelowna and I'm from B.C.
00:36:51.400 So I know Kelowna.
00:36:52.540 There's a lot of intelligent people in
00:36:53.920 Kelowna.
00:36:54.680 None of them are out in that 50 50 person
00:36:59.000 crowd that came out to see Mark Carney in
00:37:02.200 Kelowna.
00:37:03.000 But, of course, that was not only the
00:37:04.540 place he announced he's going to use the
00:37:06.260 emergency powers of the federal government
00:37:08.240 to enforce his policies.
00:37:10.100 And huge applause from 50 people for that
00:37:13.720 announcement.
00:37:14.760 But he says, I'm going to balance the
00:37:16.620 budget as well as a middle class tax cut.
00:37:20.240 And days later, he said, no, we're going
00:37:21.920 to have deficit spending.
00:37:23.600 What have we had for the last decade?
00:37:25.320 And, of course, he has been the author of
00:37:28.880 that deficit spending as an insider in the
00:37:31.860 liberal government advising Christia Freeland,
00:37:34.520 advising Justin Trudeau.
00:37:36.240 And now, of course, he's an outsider.
00:37:38.140 And he's talking about a middle class tax
00:37:40.340 cut and balancing the budget one day and
00:37:42.900 spending like a drunken sailor the next.
00:37:44.940 Can we take this guy seriously at all?
00:37:47.340 I don't.
00:37:48.180 I don't.
00:37:48.700 I don't think so.
00:37:49.720 I mean, I think you put him in the, you
00:37:53.680 know, in the Michael Ignatieff file.
00:37:56.020 And I would say that Ignatieff, you know,
00:37:59.280 exhibited substantially more intellect and
00:38:03.280 ideas.
00:38:03.880 I mean, he didn't necessarily present well,
00:38:07.660 but that, you know, you know, he did have
00:38:10.920 Ignatieff did have some substance.
00:38:13.380 You know, I mean, what I'm being telegraphed
00:38:17.140 is get ready for more of the same.
00:38:20.020 Like, you know, maybe later, maybe a tweak
00:38:22.540 here and there.
00:38:23.520 But, you know, absolutely the same nonsense.
00:38:27.380 Yeah, I couldn't I couldn't agree more.
00:38:32.840 I am just hoping Canadians are not stupid
00:38:35.200 enough to buy this.
00:38:36.820 We are.
00:38:37.400 Because it's.
00:38:38.040 We are.
00:38:38.280 Well, I mean, I mean, you see, you see,
00:38:41.440 I mean, the you see the carny crowds and
00:38:44.440 their complete bedrock carny crowds.
00:38:47.620 And they were the people that, you know,
00:38:50.840 have done well under Justin Trudeau.
00:38:53.480 They're more often than not above 65.
00:38:58.400 They're they're retired.
00:39:01.220 Either they're from their civil service jobs
00:39:03.260 or from from teaching or some such thing.
00:39:09.040 You know, they've got the cottage and the
00:39:11.380 and the golden retriever.
00:39:13.640 And, you know, it's and they think that,
00:39:17.440 you know, they believe Trudeau that while
00:39:19.320 they love Trudeau, like, you know, almost
00:39:21.180 like Tiger Beat fangirls.
00:39:24.140 And and, you know, they they.
00:39:28.720 You know, their world, you know, which
00:39:32.920 has always gone well for them, largely,
00:39:36.700 you know, with the structure in place
00:39:41.000 in Canada, they don't want that to stop.
00:39:43.920 And and so, I mean, generationally,
00:39:48.940 they may be strung up at some point.
00:39:51.880 Things continue the same way because,
00:39:54.440 you know, for for young people
00:39:56.980 aren't getting the deal.
00:39:58.480 Right.
00:39:58.820 And that's why they're all they've
00:40:00.980 all moved to conservatives.
00:40:03.580 Right.
00:40:04.120 You know, you know, nobody under 60
00:40:06.700 votes for the liberals.
00:40:07.960 Right.
00:40:08.400 Or at least very few.
00:40:10.200 Well, there's not a lot of 25 year
00:40:11.840 olds who think they'll never be able
00:40:13.520 to own a house at his rallies.
00:40:15.600 Yeah.
00:40:15.880 We've had a decade.
00:40:18.100 And I'll tell you this, you know,
00:40:19.840 famously, Ronald Reagan in 1980,
00:40:22.000 when he was debating Jimmy Carter,
00:40:23.300 asked, are you better off today
00:40:24.660 than you were four years ago?
00:40:25.800 And that might have won the election
00:40:27.460 for him.
00:40:28.420 I can tell you I'm not better off
00:40:30.400 and none of my friends and family
00:40:32.240 are better off than I was 10 years ago
00:40:35.040 after 10 years of Justin Trudeau.
00:40:37.080 And it's been catastrophic.
00:40:39.000 Absolutely catastrophic.
00:40:40.180 And I'm not going to forget.
00:40:40.920 And I hope I hope enough Canadians
00:40:42.740 don't.
00:40:43.200 But Brad, thank you so much
00:40:44.980 for joining me today.
00:40:46.160 Thanks for having me, David.
00:40:48.160 It's been a fabulous discussion.
00:40:49.920 And, you know, we'd love to love
00:40:51.540 to have you back.
00:40:52.400 And once again, this is Brad Hunter,
00:40:55.160 Toronto's Sun crime colonist.
00:40:57.460 Read his work, especially the column
00:40:59.520 I outlined today.
00:41:01.000 But he does some fantastic work.
00:41:02.960 And the Sun does.
00:41:03.800 I worked briefly for the if you were
00:41:05.820 there was a Sun news television
00:41:08.420 station for a while in Toronto.
00:41:09.980 I worked there for about six months
00:41:12.580 and I've actually and I wrote for
00:41:15.060 the Ottawa Sun for for quite a few
00:41:16.700 years.
00:41:17.300 So I have a soft spot for the for the
00:41:19.500 Sun chain.
00:41:20.060 I think you guys are out there fighting
00:41:21.680 much like the New York Post is in
00:41:24.300 New York City.
00:41:25.860 The same kind of work.
00:41:27.220 Gritty, gritty journalism for the
00:41:29.540 average Canadian.
00:41:30.260 And I don't know what we do without the
00:41:32.060 Sun, because so much else that's being
00:41:34.800 produced in Canada today is is just
00:41:37.360 absolute nonsense at times.
00:41:39.760 But thanks again for joining us.
00:41:41.940 Take care of yourself.
00:41:43.560 Thank you.
00:41:44.060 OK, thank you.

00:41:50.580 Bye bye.

00:41:53.740 colonist.
00:41:54.160 Thank you so much for joining me today.
00:41:56.140 I stand on guard.

00:42:20.200 this afternoon to talk about what we
00:42:25.200 talked about with Brad Hunter at the

00:42:59.060 that you need to know and that we
00:43:01.000 resolve to resist tyranny and big
