Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:05.180 We have a great episode for you folks.
00:00:07.400 We're going to talk about the latest from the Middle East.
00:00:09.720 We'll do a bit of a deep dive with a subject matter expert on what is happening with Israel
00:00:15.120 and Iran, and we're going to talk about some of the unfortunate Canadian elements.
00:00:21.640 You know, we always try to pull out the Canadian elements and talk about, you know, how is
00:00:26.080 it relevant to Canada?
00:00:26.940 For me personally, I'm not a fan of war.
00:00:30.600 I don't want to see Canadians or Americans, for that matter, put into a foreign situation
00:00:36.280 in a foreign war unless it's absolutely necessary.
00:00:39.140 So I'm more cautious about that.
00:00:41.320 But there are some people that take this anti-war rhetoric and mentality way too far, and they
00:00:46.880 end up supporting the most evil, awful people on planet Earth.
00:00:50.360 So we're going to talk a little bit about that.
00:00:52.900 But first, I want to just do a quick run through of the G7 and have some final thoughts there.
00:00:58.620 I'm very pleased to introduce our guest today, one of our favorite guests here at The Candice
00:01:02.360 Malcolm Show.
00:01:02.780 I'm talking about David Knight-Legg.
00:01:04.820 David is a former principal advisor to the premier of Alberta.
00:01:08.540 He now advises firms on energy and finance all over the world.
00:01:12.100 So, David, thank you for joining the show.
00:01:13.540 It's great to have you.
00:01:14.620 Great to be here.
00:01:15.200 Let's talk about the G7 because it's sort of, you know, there's a lot of excitement heading
00:01:20.900 into it.
00:01:21.460 I think that Prime Minister Mark Carney has been looking forward to this for a very long
00:01:25.120 time.
00:01:26.000 And President Trump sort of came, made a spectacle of it, and left very quickly to go deal with
00:01:31.040 the more pressing matters going on in the world, which we'll get to in a minute.
00:01:35.140 And I just want to throw to some of the journalists' reactions because they reacted just exactly
00:01:40.340 as you would expect.
00:01:41.620 So, here is Andrew Coyne writing in the Globe and Mail saying, the G7 is dead.
00:01:46.260 It's time to move on to the G6.
00:01:47.800 So, you can assume where that one's going, basically saying that it's time to kick the
00:01:52.160 Americans and Donald Trump out of our club.
00:01:54.840 Next, we have John Iveson over at the National Post.
00:01:57.100 He's usually kind of reasonable and sensible.
00:01:59.700 But he likewise said Trump came to Alberta to bury the G7, not to praise it.
00:02:04.100 He says that the G7 was founded to promote free trade, multilateralism, cooperation, and
00:02:09.500 its predominant member, doesn't advocate for any of those things anymore, and kind of
00:02:13.320 gets to the same conclusion.
00:02:14.660 I would disagree.
00:02:15.700 You know, Donald Trump is quite the character, and he's quite unusual compared to other world
00:02:19.680 leaders.
00:02:20.240 But I think he still has those same principles in mind, right?
00:02:23.480 He actually does want free trade.
00:02:25.300 He just wants fair trade, right?
00:02:27.040 And you're seeing right now how he is interested in promoting an order that doesn't have America
00:02:34.580 at the center, which implies that, yes, you need multilateralism.
00:02:38.620 So, I disagree with these takes.
00:02:41.500 But I'm wondering what you made of the G7, David, and what you think of some of these
00:02:46.300 responses from the legacy media.
00:02:48.520 I think Canada has a problem right now, to be honest.
00:02:53.640 And it is that our cultural insecurity as a nation is so transparent at the moment.
00:03:00.700 We're deeply connected to the Chinese Communist Party in that they have candidates running for
00:03:07.520 the Liberal Party that are actually, you know, known to be connected.
00:03:11.860 And yet, we developed an anti-American instinct with this elbows-up approach to how we'd run
00:03:16.500 the election.
00:03:16.980 And now it's embarrassing to see the prime minister so obviously cravenly kissing up to
00:03:24.060 the U.S. president in ways that were overt.
00:03:26.660 I just put a post on it on Twitter last night.
00:03:29.180 It's already got 65,000, 70,000 views, which is unusual for me for posts.
00:03:33.920 I think it speaks to how people feel.
00:03:36.120 Where the Canadian instinct, I think it's particularly true in the Liberal Party, to try and define
00:03:42.420 itself by not being American, falls over the cliff when it gets to points that Andrew Cohen,
00:03:48.580 who I like as a person, Josh, I like as a person.
00:03:51.500 But it falls over a cliff when that insecurity, that cultural insecurity plays out every time
00:03:56.140 the American president ignores us or pokes fun at the fact that we're appearing to be the 51st state.
00:04:02.480 The reason he's poking fun at the idea of Canada being the 51st state is because the Americans read
00:04:07.720 the papers too.
00:04:08.700 They saw this complete fakery of an elbows-up approach by a guy running for office that had
00:04:14.600 no intention of being elbows-up, had no option of being elbows-up because his own party has
00:04:19.320 undermined the economic and security capabilities of Canada for 10 years.
00:04:23.960 They know that he has no cards to play, and they found it funny and embarrassing that
00:04:29.200 he kept acting like he'd be a tough guy when he dealt with the U.S. president.
00:04:32.860 And of course, during the G7, he was anything but.
00:04:35.920 And previous to the G7, he's been anything but.
00:04:38.080 So I think Canada's got to get some economic and security realism, and that realism is now
00:04:43.520 starting to come from the premiers.
00:04:45.140 Premier Ford yesterday made a point of saying this soft, on-crime bail policy is enough.
00:04:52.000 You know, he's going to personally do a fundraiser for the guy who shot his gun in the air to
00:04:55.740 scare away mass robbers that were trying to steal his car and potentially break into his
00:04:59.120 house with his wife and kids there.
00:05:00.940 And of course, the criminals get off.
00:05:03.160 They get bail instantly.
00:05:04.720 And the guy who shot the gun into the air is now being charged, criminally charged by
00:05:08.360 the Toronto police.
00:05:09.520 It's outrageous, right?
00:05:10.860 So you've got premiers stepping up and saying the cultural decline of Canada is so overt now
00:05:15.880 that they're taking a stand against it, even though it's not in their remit.
00:05:20.800 But you've got Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, standing up and saying, you've got to get
00:05:25.960 on with removing the reckless regulations that have prevented Canada from being a nation
00:05:31.320 to be able to stand up for itself.
00:05:33.420 She was doing great work on the diplomacy side in a way that was dignified, unlike the
00:05:38.980 sort of unctuous, craven desperation that seemed to come from the prime minister of the
00:05:44.060 G7.
00:05:44.500 And she was being mocked for it and called a traitor by some, by some quarters, including
00:05:48.620 guys like Andrew Coyne.
00:05:50.380 And I think Canadians increasingly are finding it tiresome.
00:05:52.720 This is a, this is a country that hasn't been able to build anything significant.
00:05:55.380 It's killed off about $600 billion in, in economic projects and infrastructure that
00:06:00.960 would take in our vast resources to global markets, given us a strong hand to play with
00:06:05.680 the Americans and allowed us to have a real seat at the G7 that we earned, not being there
00:06:10.640 simply because we're an economic ally of the USA.
00:06:13.620 So if Andrew Coyne is going to say it should be the G6, the hard thing for Andrew Coyne
00:06:17.740 is going to be to explain to the rest of G7 why Canada should stay at the table, because
00:06:22.380 we're no longer relevant.
00:06:23.860 We are the worst performer in the G7.
00:06:25.580 We're far and away, except for Liechtenstein, the worst performer in the OECD in terms of
00:06:30.020 having a real economy.
00:06:31.520 And that economy is being flattened now that the Americans are saying, look, we want to rebase
00:06:36.880 our, uh, our steel industry, our aluminum industry and our car industry back to the
00:06:41.420 United States.
00:06:42.040 And we're doing that globally, but Canada is so weak that it's one of the countries that
00:06:45.760 even though they're doing that to countries like the UK and Germany, not elsewhere, those
00:06:50.100 countries have enough, uh, depth in their economy to handle it.
00:06:54.680 The only depth in the economy right now is Alberta's energy sector.
00:06:57.860 That's it.
00:06:58.540 That's all that's left for Canada to go global with and some of our ag products.
00:07:02.220 But these guys that pretend to be Canada first are, and, you know, Canada's strong, whatever
00:07:08.100 the liberal thing was, where is Andrew Coyne's column on China decimating our canola industry
00:07:13.980 at $45 billion industry?
00:07:15.660 Where is it?
00:07:16.620 Where are the columns on us being tough on Iran and actually addressing Iran and closing
00:07:21.580 down the IRGC?
00:07:23.300 It took us years to name the Iranians as terrorists.
00:07:26.300 Where are the columns saying, where are these IRGC operatives?
00:07:29.860 We know there are 600 of them before, and we haven't actually deposed them yet, right?
00:07:34.580 So, so we've, as a nation, we've got to stop with the cultural insecurity over the United
00:07:39.260 States, the latent anti-Americanism, the sad, desperate cultural inferiority complex that
00:07:45.180 keeps coming up every time we have to deal with these incidents where the dominance of
00:07:50.680 the American president, given the power of their economy and the subservience of the
00:07:54.680 Canadian prime minister become transparent.
00:07:57.220 We had a decade of it with Justin Trudeau.
00:07:59.980 People want Stephen Harper, somebody like him, back in the seat.
00:08:03.780 Wow.
00:08:04.340 I couldn't have put it better myself, David.
00:08:06.320 You just really weaved everything together so well there.
00:08:09.040 But yeah, it's like Canadian liberals in the elbow up crowd, they sort of are high on their
00:08:14.200 own supply when it comes to just being snobby and pretending that we're culturally superior
00:08:18.760 to the Americans somehow, when the cold hard truth is that almost everything about our way
00:08:24.380 of life is just solely dependent on the Americans.
00:08:26.820 And someone like Trump comes around and says, you know, enough is enough.
00:08:30.040 We're not going to sit here and allow you to bash us and, you know, win elections off of
00:08:34.680 the back of just like taking shots at your American allies and friends.
00:08:40.140 We're going to give you a little taste of your medicine.
00:08:41.900 And it's interesting.
00:08:43.300 I will just say, like, I'm almost happy, right?
00:08:45.840 Like, I know that a lot of conservatives are upset that Mark Carney campaigned on this
00:08:49.680 sort of anti-American elbows up theme we read from Anthony Cox piece in The National
00:08:53.980 Post yesterday.
00:08:55.000 And it was, you know, the idea of seeing Carney at the G7 proves that it was all just a lie.
00:09:00.120 It was a total fabrication.
00:09:01.620 Now, I'll just say I'm happy it was a fabrication.
00:09:03.380 I would much rather a leader, at least, you know, when push comes to shove, show up and
00:09:08.860 say, of course, our American relationship is important and we're going to continue it and
00:09:12.620 we're going to push through projects we've seen with the proposed Bill C-5.
00:09:15.800 Again, I know that there's many things to be critical of that.
00:09:18.400 But to me, it shows at least a seriousness now towards the economic picture and nation
00:09:23.660 building.
00:09:24.080 But, of course, if someone's willing to lie to you during an election to pull the wool
00:09:27.280 over your eyes and pretend to be something that he totally isn't, apparently, what else
00:09:31.200 is he willing to lie about?
00:09:32.880 And so I try not to be too optimistic because, you know, it might be a sheep in wolf's clothing
00:09:38.420 situation.
00:09:39.820 But I'm just wondering, what is your take on Bill C-5 and this sort of new idea behind
00:09:47.200 Mark Carney that maybe the Liberals do want to do some nation building and push aside some
00:09:51.460 of the very overarching environmental rules that really prohibited building in this country
00:09:59.080 over the last decade?
00:09:59.800 Well, look, you know, I think we've got CMP coming up in Calgary and there's going to
00:10:06.020 be some great meetings here.
00:10:07.160 I think the prime minister is likely to come.
00:10:08.940 I think that the energy minister is likely to come.
00:10:14.020 And I think that there is a way to get things done for all Canadians.
00:10:17.640 When Alberta prospers, the whole country prospers.
00:10:20.760 Right.
00:10:20.900 I think the other just scientific reality is nothing that the Liberal Party of Canada
00:10:26.800 has done the past decade in the name of climate has had any impact on global emissions.
00:10:32.860 And part of the reason for that is because we're only 1.4% of global emissions.
00:10:37.180 Another reason for that is that their strategy is entirely domestic.
00:10:41.720 They have no strategy for the way that Canada's gas could remove more global emissions, their
00:10:47.240 entire carbon footprint as a nation, and yet their strategy has been to tax, constrain,
00:10:52.920 and regulate against the domestic emissions that are produced by the global production of
00:10:57.480 the same resources that reduce global emissions by a factor of 10x, the domestic emissions on
00:11:03.100 the production side.
00:11:04.340 So they have a bankrupt philosophy of the environment.
00:11:07.180 They have a bankrupt philosophy of energy, and they have bankrupted the country with a series
00:11:12.640 of bizarre things.
00:11:14.180 They call it investments when they put $50 billion the nation does not have.
00:11:18.580 They borrow it.
00:11:19.840 They put that into EV battery plants, and the whole amount is burned within two years.
00:11:26.120 It's gone.
00:11:27.580 Right.
00:11:27.860 And our kids and our grandkids have to pay back the $50 billion plus the interest.
00:11:32.780 Plus, we're supporting one of the fastest growing bureaucracies in the history of the modern
00:11:37.640 West.
00:11:38.300 Right.
00:11:38.480 They've basically gone now to close to 22% of all employment in Canada is a bureaucrat.
00:11:45.340 This is insanity.
00:11:46.700 It's totally unsustainable.
00:11:48.580 Right.
00:11:49.080 Their plan right now is to print another quarter trillion dollars in debt, another quarter trillion
00:11:54.120 dollars.
00:11:54.680 And they're making promises that they know that we can't bank.
00:11:58.020 We can't keep that when you are, it's not just they're printing that much debt and spending
00:12:03.640 all of it instantly.
00:12:05.280 It's that our GDP is the lowest of the 40 nations in the OECD, and it's on a trend line
00:12:10.020 that will take us to last place until 2030 and beyond.
00:12:13.980 So the only way you pay back that is to have a viable real economy.
00:12:18.340 And here's the punchline in Canada today, Alberta had more private sector employment all of last
00:12:25.980 year than the rest of the country combined.
00:12:28.020 No one's even close.
00:12:29.860 Right.
00:12:30.740 One province with 14 and a half percent of the population of the nation had more private
00:12:36.240 sector employment than everyone else in the country combined.
00:12:39.240 Right.
00:12:40.080 Highest net income, youngest demographics, highest population growth, smartest working age population.
00:12:47.380 Now, by a fact, it didn't used to be this way.
00:12:49.160 Right.
00:12:49.700 This is happening very fast.
00:12:51.240 Alberta, under conservative policies and conservative approaches, not perfect, but under conservative
00:12:57.000 policies and approaches, is drawing in global investment capital.
00:13:01.240 It's drawing in like we're establishing data centers.
00:13:04.160 We've got billion dollar deals going on.
00:13:07.100 The Invest Alberta Corporation, which I founded under the premier's office and has now been running
00:13:13.320 for four years under a great leader.
00:13:15.280 Rick Kershantz is now clocked twenty seven billion dollars in incoming investment and over
00:13:20.740 thirty thousand jobs in the province.
00:13:22.740 Right.
00:13:23.580 Alberta is taking off and it's being constrained only and primarily by a subset of green alarmists
00:13:30.380 in Ottawa that don't actually have a plan.
00:13:32.740 And the Americans see all of this.
00:13:34.960 Like the Americans weren't blind to what we did, what took place in our election.
00:13:39.020 They watched it all.
00:13:39.720 They thought it was funny.
00:13:40.940 Elbows up is a joke in the United States.
00:13:43.120 It's a joke in D.C.
00:13:44.680 They think it's funny.
00:13:45.620 They think it's culturally insecure and kind of sad.
00:13:48.080 They don't see it as a serious nation speaking about serious things in a serious way.
00:13:53.700 And because it isn't right.
00:13:54.880 It's it's just totally reactionary and it's hollow.
00:13:57.940 It doesn't mean anything, as we've learned.
00:13:59.840 Well, this is the problem, I think, with with when you get too domestic politically.
00:14:03.620 And this is the problem, I think, Andrew has in some of the things he's been writing.
00:14:06.840 He he he thinks that Trump is a is a cartoonish figure who should be treated with contempt.
00:14:14.000 OK, it's perspective.
00:14:15.800 The problem is he doesn't level that same degree of sort of sharp edged analytics on our own
00:14:22.320 political system and on the people that have driven our country into the ground.
00:14:26.180 Right. And I don't understand why our press doesn't take a much stronger line on people
00:14:31.700 that are openly clownishly inept and incompetent at doing fundamental things.
00:14:37.760 Right. Where was the analysis on Chrystia Freeland when she was blowing up our public
00:14:41.560 fisk, when she mispriced four hundred and twenty billion dollars in covid era debt in
00:14:46.660 spite of multiple warnings to do that?
00:14:48.520 That is now costing us fifty five billion dollars a year in interest payments on a huge
00:14:53.800 chunk of our debt that we knew needed to be priced on long term debt structures.
00:14:58.220 Right. Totally blew it up.
00:14:59.840 Where is the analysis of that stuff?
00:15:01.860 The more that Canada's press stays in the tank for people that they want to have access to
00:15:06.940 and doesn't do their job, the more obvious it becomes to the easier it gets for the current
00:15:13.040 ruling government's community doing what it's doing, which is terrible for the economy and
00:15:16.660 bad for the country.
00:15:17.780 And the easier it gets for our opponents and adversaries to use us openly.
00:15:21.860 And so I think the Americans, you know, I don't think there's any idea.
00:15:26.660 I think they're trying to be cutesy saying it'll be a G6.
00:15:29.120 I think if there was a G6, Canada would be the first one to lose out because we're the
00:15:32.440 worst economy of the bunch.
00:15:34.120 And I think that we have to start getting more serious about being the nation we should
00:15:38.020 be standing up for ourselves from a position of strength.
00:15:41.580 The reason that Mark Carney has to cave and do the right thing now is because the cupboard
00:15:46.260 is bare.
00:15:47.140 There is no security strategy for Canada.
00:15:49.580 Our borders are totally open.
00:15:52.340 What everybody used to clutch their pearls at saying, how dare they accuse us of being
00:15:56.980 fentanyl dealers.
00:15:57.880 Now everybody knows we didn't even know how bad the fentanyl problem was until the Americans
00:16:02.320 put their finger on it and called us out on it.
00:16:04.480 Right.
00:16:05.120 Chinese triads run the port of Vancouver with fentanyl precursors and with full on laundering
00:16:12.040 operations for Mexican cartels.
00:16:13.660 It happens in Canada and Canada has rules that federal government are responsible for that
00:16:18.320 mean that we can't wiretap these clowns.
00:16:20.540 We can't get rid of them.
00:16:22.260 Right.
00:16:23.240 Canada has rules.
00:16:24.300 It means the IRGC has been completely lost all over this country.
00:16:27.800 So we've got them.
00:16:28.600 And we know they're funding Samadun, which is why these terrible Hamas-supporting marches
00:16:34.540 are so well-organized and scripted.
00:16:38.060 And yet we've lost control of them.
00:16:39.100 We just had a, I mean, it was stunning to me.
00:16:42.740 In the middle of this extraordinary moment with Israel decimating this sick terrorist
00:16:46.880 genocidal cabal that runs the great Iranian people and holds them hostage.
00:16:52.720 Right.
00:16:53.160 In the middle of all that, what's the news?
00:16:55.800 That the IRGC thugs are looking for a safe haven.
00:16:58.600 And where do they want to go?
00:17:00.320 Canada.
00:17:01.320 Because people like Chrystia Freeland and others wouldn't name the IRGC a terror operation.
00:17:05.520 Even when we have, we're not deporting them.
00:17:07.920 And we know that, I mean, you mentioned some 600 of them are already in Canada.
00:17:12.240 Like we've seen reports and exposés that there are senior Iranian leaders, like murderous
00:17:19.020 thugs hiding out in suburban homes in Toronto, living the good life.
00:17:23.160 Of course they are.
00:17:23.720 And this all happened under Justin Trudeau and his lax immigration policy.
00:17:27.900 Like I do want to move on, David, and talk a little bit about this conflict because it
00:17:32.280 really is something.
00:17:33.320 It's amazing.
00:17:33.960 To see the precision that Israel has acted with.
00:17:37.840 So this all started on Friday morning.
00:17:40.480 Israel announced that around 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft had dropped 330 munitions,
00:17:46.420 around 100 targets in total overnight, hitting six cities, including Iran, as well as a nuclear
00:17:51.720 facility in Natanz.
00:17:54.120 Reports said at least 20 senior commanders were killed.
00:17:57.180 We're talking about like pinpoint precision here, like someone killed on the 17th floor of
00:18:01.980 the building and everyone else in the building not even really noticing, like the building
00:18:05.860 remaining intact.
00:18:06.740 We heard stories, reports that the chief of staff of Iran's armed forces was killed, senior
00:18:14.520 leaders in the Revolutionary Guards.
00:18:17.180 This was an incredible act of military offensive and precision.
00:18:23.980 I want to just, I guess, first, David, hear your thoughts on what went down, what was carried
00:18:30.160 out, how it was planned, and then I guess we'll move to like what happens next.
00:18:35.440 I know that President Trump has called for Iran's unconditional surrender.
00:18:39.900 Yeah.
00:18:40.180 There's a lot of questions about what that means, the surrender of their nuclear program,
00:18:43.780 or are we talking regime change here?
00:18:45.600 So why don't you give us your thoughts on the whole situation?
00:18:49.040 Well, I'm having an argument with a friend of mine who's a former American intelligence officer
00:18:54.160 about whether it means regime change.
00:18:56.380 He's saying no, and I'm saying it's the same thing.
00:18:58.880 Like you can't destroy the nuclear facilities and the chain of command for the IRGC and remove
00:19:05.840 the Ayatollah and not mean that it's regime change.
00:19:08.820 I'm concerned that the Americans do have a strategy beyond simply destroying the nuclear
00:19:14.960 program because you don't need a power vacuum in one of the most powerful nations in that
00:19:19.640 region because it'll be filled by the wrong people if it's not filled by the right
00:19:23.260 people.
00:19:23.860 But I think the Iranian thugs that currently hold the Iranian people hostage through the
00:19:29.900 IRGC and through the genocidal terror cabal that the Ayatollah runs made a fatal mistake
00:19:36.880 two weeks ago.
00:19:39.040 They decided to, they basically started to be belligerent about not being told by the Americans
00:19:45.760 what to do and what they could build and what the military sort of limits would be.
00:19:51.460 And then they tested their new missile system and they announced that that test was successful.
00:19:57.480 And that new missile system delivered 2000 kilogram payload.
00:20:02.240 And so what that showed the Americans and the Israelis was that what the Israelis had said
00:20:07.160 all along was if it's not just the nuclear fissile material and their ability to weaponize
00:20:13.020 it, it's their ability to deliver that weapon into the downtown Tel Aviv.
00:20:19.060 And that's what we won't tolerate.
00:20:21.640 And so the second that we know that's happening, we're going to attack.
00:20:24.940 And the Americans had put a couple lines in the sand for the Israelis.
00:20:29.700 One was that they gave the Iranians 60 days to negotiate.
00:20:33.500 And two, they tried to ensure that the Iranians had a chance to, you know, walk back a series
00:20:39.700 of things and open up the nuclear program again.
00:20:43.040 Two things happened.
00:20:43.940 One, it became evident that they had another secret program they were hiding throughout the
00:20:47.660 entire negotiation period.
00:20:49.320 And that's now been uncovered two days ago.
00:20:52.240 Second thing is they tested this missile and its ability to deliver a 2000K payload, which
00:20:57.700 meant that, and the third thing they did was the guy, rest in peace, that made this point
00:21:02.740 four days ago and is now dead, was the commanding officer of the military.
00:21:08.440 He's basically the minister of defense for the IRGC.
00:21:11.360 And he made a point of saying, no US base is safe now that we've got these missiles and
00:21:15.760 death to America, death to Israel, death to the UK.
00:21:19.220 Uh, so the day after that, the Americans scrambled B-2s that have these Moab bunker busting bombs,
00:21:26.380 which can, you know, are, are extraordinary technology.
00:21:30.420 Uh, the Israelis got the green light and began the, what they'd clearly been preparing for
00:21:35.120 for the last five years.
00:21:36.320 Similar to the pager attack, which took five years just to set up the Swiss accounts and
00:21:40.720 the other accounts that were all part of the supply chain that took the Taiwanese gold
00:21:44.920 star pagers.
00:21:45.600 And then, you know, reconfigured them with the plastic explosives, put them through a
00:21:50.520 holding company, sold them by contract into Hezbollah, made Hezbollah pay for their, their
00:21:55.840 own pagers, right?
00:21:57.520 The, uh, the Israelis have been working on taking apart and dissecting the Iranian nuclear
00:22:03.720 program and destroying the Iranian chain of command.
00:22:07.280 Um, Canada should be celebrating, you know, the extraordinary thing is that the, the sadistic
00:22:13.060 thug that shot down that plane with 55 Canadians on it was assassinated in the first couple
00:22:19.060 hours.
00:22:20.020 Where was the, where was Anita Anand on that, right?
00:22:23.520 All, all I heard from our federal politicians was they worried about escalation.
00:22:28.660 This is not escalation.
00:22:30.480 This is the total destruction of the Iranian IRGC thuggery.
00:22:34.320 They killed 55 Canadians, but at least somehow in one, in one attack, they killed one Canadians.
00:22:41.440 I mean, the, the, the true horror that happens in Iran and I'm someone who's, you know, been
00:22:46.820 following the Iranian situation my entire career, basically.
00:22:50.820 I mean, just the absolute sadistic way that this government is run the, the, the way that,
00:22:57.780 you know, they put, they put children on death row in Iran, right?
00:23:01.600 Like we're talking about next level, uh, types of, of tyranny here.
00:23:07.180 And like every person who cares about human rights in the world should be celebrating right
00:23:11.480 now.
00:23:11.760 And, and, and, and it's, it's amazing what Israel has, has managed to do.
00:23:15.640 I mean, we're reading about, uh, the, the technology, like they had drones being launched
00:23:20.160 from inside Iran.
00:23:21.240 So, you know, you're talking about the pager attack that took five years of making, who
00:23:24.760 knows how long they've been laying the groundwork, um, to, to launch this sorts of attack.
00:23:29.000 But you're, you're right, David, and sorry to cut you off, but I mean, from a Canadian
00:23:34.260 perspective, right, that just, just a sheer number of, of Iranians who have fled and live
00:23:39.160 in Canada, right?
00:23:39.860 The diaspora community here and, and looking and talking to people from that community who
00:23:44.300 are actually celebrating and happy right now and hopeful that maybe it means that they'll
00:23:47.820 have a future where, where they can possibly go back and visit their country, or at least,
00:23:52.640 you know, that their relatives may be safe.
00:23:54.020 Obviously we're concerned right now about escalation and what this will turn into.
00:23:57.720 And I'm wondering your thoughts on, on, on Trump's comments about, um, you know, unconditional
00:24:03.040 surrender, whether, whether you do think that regime change is, is going to happen.
00:24:07.200 I mean, maybe it's already happening.
00:24:08.520 I, you know, you wipe out an entire leadership class of the military.
00:24:12.280 It's like, well, who's, who's running things at this point?
00:24:14.680 Um, it is quite interesting.
00:24:16.120 And then I, I want to bring it back as well, because what we have seen of Canada so far is
00:24:21.440 just truly embarrassing, right?
00:24:23.060 I'm talking about CUPE Ontario sponsoring a quote, hands off Iran, Raleigh, um, outside
00:24:29.000 the U S consulate this Sunday.
00:24:30.580 So the Ontario chapter of the Canadian union of public employees is sponsoring a demonstration
00:24:34.340 outside the American consulate to protest support of Israel amid the ongoing effort
00:24:39.400 to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities.
00:24:41.100 The poster Sundays to Sunday's event reads hands off Iran in all caps and lists nearly
00:24:45.700 a dozen sponsoring organizations, including some organizations that were supportive of
00:24:50.580 the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel.
00:24:53.480 The poster was published on Instagram by the Palestinian youth movement.
00:24:57.300 And then they sort of later had to like kind of clarify that, yes, they're going to this
00:25:02.840 war, uh, route.
00:25:04.160 This rally is really an anti-war rally.
00:25:06.000 Um, and the earlier poster circulated was unapproved or whatever, but I mean, still the idea that
00:25:11.560 you'd have Canadian unions saying hands off Iran as if like somehow Iran is our ally and
00:25:16.820 that, uh, you know, we care about the lives of the ruthless dictators who murder their own
00:25:22.660 people and have murdered countless Canadians over the years.
00:25:24.760 Like, I think these people may have lost the plot here.
00:25:27.980 What do you think?
00:25:29.080 Yeah, a hundred percent.
00:25:29.920 I mean, look, to your point, there are 9 million Iranians living outside Iran right now
00:25:34.460 and almost all of them are part of the most successful diaspora there is, you know, they're
00:25:39.880 extraordinarily successful people.
00:25:42.040 Um, they're desperate to see their country back to a point of freedom.
00:25:46.060 The Iranian revolution happened in 79 after hard left Marxists, communists got together
00:25:52.920 with hard stone age Islamist Wahhabists.
00:25:57.060 You can't make it up.
00:25:58.620 And they did that on the university campuses, which is why the oddness of when you hear about
00:26:03.420 what took place was like university students stormed the U S embassy, those were not university
00:26:08.660 students, right?
00:26:09.360 Those were hard left activists motivated by a deep and unusual, uh, Islamic socialism that
00:26:17.200 ended up taking hold in Libya as well.
00:26:19.400 And that's part of what we're up against.
00:26:20.960 So oddly, when you see these other hard left groups, uh, overseas take the side of a blood
00:26:29.200 soaked terrorist, genocidal stone age Islamist cabal.
00:26:34.400 And you say, what, what does a weirdo like Fred Hahn, who's all about trans rights doing
00:26:39.900 in bed with and supporting and, and taking hostage a Canadian public union employees budget
00:26:47.240 to fund something as sickening as support for one of the world's worst genocidal regimes.
00:26:52.660 What's going on?
00:26:53.760 Well, it's got deep roots.
00:26:54.840 And the deep roots very oddly are a connection between the very hard left socialist communists
00:27:01.360 in Iran back in the day when it was free and you could have those viewpoints, right?
00:27:06.160 And the stone age will hobbyist Islamist terrorists.
00:27:09.680 And they got together because they realized that the Shah had complete control and they
00:27:14.520 were able to basically make it all about egalitarianism and which the Islamists were happy to sort of
00:27:21.080 like get along and go along with guys like Fred Hahn until they weren't useful anymore.
00:27:25.200 And now guys like Fred Hahn would be the first one shot dead in Tehran.
00:27:29.500 So the irony of, uh, of all that doesn't dispel the obvious sick and grotesque abuse of the funds
00:27:40.460 of union employees by this clown car act, Fred Hahn, who can't seem to find anything disgusting enough
00:27:48.340 to support openly with other people's money that he's actually supporting Iran right now.
00:27:53.780 And we have a federal government that allows clowns like this to get away with it.
00:27:56.880 He should be called out and forced to account for this abusive, uh, use of, you know, the
00:28:03.680 money of his union members.
00:28:04.760 My grandfather was a union steward back in the day in England and was a very tough guy.
00:28:09.220 And he was part of the Morris cars in Oxford and back in the day unions used to stand for
00:28:15.080 something, but primarily what they stood for was taking care of the families of their members,
00:28:20.360 taking care of their members, making sure there were fair contracts, making sure what was fair
00:28:24.460 was understood.
00:28:25.560 This public sector union situation in Canada has, has become filled with arrogant people
00:28:30.620 that want to work from home that aren't funded by actual tax dollars.
00:28:34.840 They're funded by debt and it's got to be cut back and it's got to start with, they have
00:28:39.660 so much money and time on their hands that they're able to allow themselves to use other
00:28:44.120 people's money for projects like this sick, disgusting, supportive tourism.
00:28:49.080 I've got, I've got one more for you because I think, uh, Fred might've been outdone here.
00:28:53.620 We had a pro-Palestine event in Victoria, British Columbia over the weekend, and there was footage
00:28:58.160 that circulated of a Palestinian woman named Fadi Elred gleefully telling people who were,
00:29:04.340 I guess, counter-protesters, um, that Iran will kill you.
00:29:08.340 Uh, let's play this clip.
00:29:09.540 Free Palestine!
00:29:10.780 Iran will kill you all!
00:29:12.300 Yeah, from Hamas.
00:29:14.760 If you care about the Palestinians from Hamas.
00:29:19.400 Did you just say Iran will kill us?
00:29:23.480 What do you want?
00:29:24.500 You want to, huh?
00:29:26.060 You see the sort of delirious response there, but I, I, I do think a lot of the pro-Palestinian
00:29:32.520 types, I mean, they, they just have a disdain, you know, just say it for, for, for Jewish people.
00:29:37.100 And so they see Iran and to make a comment like that and say, like, don't worry, Iran
00:29:41.960 will kill you.
00:29:42.520 Like, like that's, that's what she wants to happen.
00:29:45.080 She, she, it seems to me that she would be happy, um, in a world where America was not
00:29:49.520 the global superpower, but Iran was as sickening as that is.
00:29:53.240 And the way that she sort of says it ghoulishly, um, it's quite sick, uh, David, I'm going to
00:29:57.720 hold your response because we have a couple more of these examples, right?
00:30:00.740 You, you said if Fred Hahn were to go to Palestine, he'd be the first one that they
00:30:03.900 would, uh, shoot dead or maybe Iran.
00:30:05.880 Uh, we also have Greta Thunberg, um, who, who decided to go on a freedom flotilla, flotilla
00:30:11.720 down to Gaza, um, only to be intercepted by Israel.
00:30:16.020 Like, I can't imagine, you know, she, she's literally seen in a boat, um, they were intercepted.
00:30:20.680 She's wearing a tank top.
00:30:21.500 I wonder like, how would they treat a, uh, you know, a blonde Swedish girl who shows
00:30:26.560 up in Gaza wearing a tank top, right?
00:30:28.600 Like this is, uh, this is the Israeli foreign ministry.
00:30:31.700 They, they put out a funny tweet and we'll get to this.
00:30:34.040 And I want to talk about a Canadian group, a group of 100 Canadians who have been detained
00:30:39.520 in Egypt.
00:30:40.540 They went there to protest Israel.
00:30:42.840 I don't know why they would show up in Cairo, in Egypt, thinking that it's a Western liberal
00:30:47.980 democracy, that they have the right to just like protest and condemn the Egyptian government
00:30:52.720 as if they were in Canada.
00:30:54.060 Um, pretty amusing, uh, headline here from Tristan Hopper over at the National Post, anti-Israeli
00:30:59.680 activists beg their genocidal government for rescue.
00:31:02.040 Yeah, because what happens when you get detained in a foreign country, you have to turn around
00:31:06.240 and beg Canada to help you.
00:31:07.640 So we're going to get to those stories and a few more folks, but I'm going to encourage
00:31:10.780 you to head on over to JunoNews.com.
