The Candice Malcolm Show - Sam Cooper on the explosive FBI warning + NEVER BEFORE reported details of Danforth Shooter’s ISIS connection

00:00:00.000 Hi, I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:05.440 So, on Sunday, we saw this explosive interview given by FBI Director Kash Patel, and he talks

00:00:12.440 about Canada.

00:00:13.260 He's on Fox News, and all of a sudden, the conversation goes to Canada, and I wanted

00:00:18.380 to save this topic to talk to with this guest today, Sam Cooper, because Sam, he is the

00:00:24.900 creator of the Bureau and Canada's top investigative journalist.

00:00:27.460 I think Kash Patel may be reading your articles and reading your reports, because when I

00:00:33.220 heard him say this, and I saw these videos circulating, I thought, this is what Sam has

00:00:37.020 been ringing the alarm about for months, if not longer.

00:00:41.220 So, I guess we'll play the clip in a second, Sam, but just tell me, what was your reaction

00:00:45.980 when you saw Kash Patel, the FBI Director, making these claims?

00:00:49.640 Well, my reaction was, as I've been talking to senior U.S. intelligence experts in the

00:00:56.020 recent months.

00:00:56.860 I don't know if it's by their design.

00:00:59.140 I don't think so.

00:01:00.420 I think that they've reached out to me because they say I'm the North American subject expert

00:01:05.440 on these threats that are endangering the United States and Canada.

00:01:09.920 They've been telling me that there was an Iranian state connection, a Chinese-sanctioned

00:01:16.540 precursor supplier entity, and Mexican cartels connected to that Falkland super lab.

00:01:22.640 I've also been reporting in the past year, as you know, about Canada Border Services Agency's

00:01:28.600 whistleblower saying that Canada is being exploited by people that are using the Vancouver ports.

00:01:35.400 And this is, again, Iranian, Mexican, and Chinese, apparently state actors that may have penetrated

00:01:43.980 Canada's systems, and that this would be a concern to the U.S. government.

00:01:48.140 So, yes, when I saw Kash Patel say, this is what the U.S. government is concerned about,

00:01:54.240 and the U.S. has been working with Mexican authorities to crack down on the southern border,

00:02:00.760 and this will not only send an impetus, or rather, this will cause the Mexican cartels to

00:02:06.980 set up more strongly in Canada, and that Canada has not been cooperating.

00:02:11.200 Look, that's what Kash Patel said, and that's what I've been reporting for the past few months.

00:02:16.020 So, I don't know if it's him reading my reports or that we are talking to people with the same

00:02:21.580 intelligence.

00:02:22.280 I think that's probably the latter.

00:02:24.600 Well, it tells me that you are hitting the nail on the head, that you're over the target.

00:02:29.660 And here is your report on the Bureau breaking explosive FBI warning CCP, Iran, and MEX cartels

00:02:35.820 partnering in Canada to move fentanyl and terrorists into the United States.

00:02:39.600 And then you write that Kash Patel's warning echoes the Bureau's exclusive reporting on criminal

00:02:44.340 convergence linking Chinese-backed chemical suppliers, Iranian proxies, and Mexican cartels

00:02:49.360 operating through Vancouver's super labs.

00:02:52.440 Really, it sounds like the plot of a Hollywood film.

00:02:55.240 It's just, like, unbelievable that this is happening under our nose.

00:02:57.980 And it's not like we have no idea that it's happening.

00:03:00.540 Obviously, you've been reporting on it.

00:03:02.060 And so, it's just, like, I don't know if the authorities are asleep at the switch or

00:03:06.000 if somehow they're in on it or if they would just rather ignore it.

00:03:09.560 But I do want to play, first, we'll play this clip of FBI Director Kash Patel.

00:03:13.920 So, he's speaking on Fox News' evening report with Maria Bartramo.

00:03:20.080 Apologies if I'm pronouncing it correctly.

00:03:21.840 And he is specifically talking about how they've sealed the southern border.

00:03:25.420 The southern border is secure, but that the fentanyl is still flowing from Canada.

00:03:29.940 Let's play that clip.

00:03:30.460 In the first two, three months that we've been in the seat under Donald Trump's administration,

00:03:34.860 he has sealed the border.

00:03:35.860 He has stopped border crossings.

00:03:37.460 So, where's all the fentanyl coming from still?

00:03:39.080 Where's the trafficking coming from still?

00:03:41.000 Where are all the narco-traffickers going to keep bringing this stuff into the country? 1.00

00:03:47.240 The northern border.

00:03:48.820 Our adversaries have partnered up with the CCP and others, Russia, Iran,

00:03:54.020 on a variety of different criminal enterprises.

00:03:56.080 And they're going and they're sailing around to Vancouver and coming in by air.

00:04:00.480 Now, Sam, I've had you on my show many times.

00:04:03.280 I think that you've said that verbatim on my show maybe two months ago about those Vancouver ports.

00:04:08.740 And so, I mean, walk us through that.

00:04:10.840 Absolutely.

00:04:11.840 Absolutely.

00:04:13.240 That's what I got from Director Patel's statement.

00:04:17.100 I had reported previously, again, a CBSA whistleblower said that there was a massive amount of stolen passports.

00:04:25.440 I believe it was connected to Russia's invasion of Ukraine years ago.

00:04:30.240 And Canada's government knew that many of those stolen passports were used by threat actors to enter Vancouver's port.

00:04:39.640 I had also told you that Vancouver's port is wide open to fentanyl precursors coming in.

00:04:47.220 Something like only 1% of the containers that come into Vancouver's port,

00:04:52.160 this is the fourth busiest in North America, are searched.

00:04:55.560 And on top of that, I had reported the documented concern.

00:05:00.540 It's been known for years that Chinese organized crime actors with connections to Chinese military entities of the same type that are operative in Panama

00:05:10.760 have significant activity in Vancouver's port, along with Iranian threat actors.

00:05:17.520 And, of course, the local Hells Angels are in the mix there, too.

00:05:20.920 So, it's almost a surreal feeling or sense that we now have the director of the top counterintelligence agency coming out overtly and saying the exact same things I'm reporting.

00:05:34.700 And, Candice, I would add another major story I broke was, you'll remember the Danforth shooting of 2018.

00:05:41.820 There were indications that there could be terror links, but the Toronto Police and Ralph Goodale, Trudeau's public safety minister, said those indications were false, not supported.

00:05:54.320 Hold on a second.

00:05:55.460 I reported based on a senior former DEA investigator that told me the American government did not buy that conclusion.

00:06:03.200 They found concerning links between the shooter in Toronto and a major carfentanil seizure in a nearby suburb.

00:06:11.760 His brother, right? I remember the story.

00:06:13.940 It's a deep story.

00:06:15.260 His brother went into a coma from handling carfentanil.

00:06:19.540 40 kilograms were seized in a Toronto suburb.

00:06:22.740 Largest seizure of carfentanil ever.

00:06:25.640 American authorities wanted just a couple of grams to search it to see, you know, they were concerned, could this be a weapon of mass destruction?

00:06:33.840 Could there be a terror link?

00:06:35.140 They found a linkage to Pakistan that concerned them.

00:06:38.200 The RCMP completely shut them down, would not share a single gram of that seizure.

00:06:44.320 And so, what does that point to?

00:06:45.820 I'm told that the U.S. government said, of course, there was a Chinese supplier involved and there could be a Pakistani threat network and the Canadian government would not cooperate with the U.S. government.

00:06:58.600 So this, in my view, when I was hearing Kash Patel, I almost heard that case resonating without being said.

00:07:05.200 Well, if we could just take a minute to double click on that, because I was writing and reporting with the Toronto Sun at that time, Sam, and I recall, I mean, it's been several years now since I refreshed my memory on the case.

00:07:17.440 But I do remember a police report where they went in and they interviewed the parents and the two parents of this young man who they claim was mentally ill, even though he was working a job at a local supermarket.

00:07:29.460 So he wasn't like severely mentally ill like the legacy media pretended that he was.

00:07:35.480 But basically, his parents were both interviewed and they were interviewed separately and their answers contradicted each other.

00:07:44.220 They were asked whether he had spent time in Pakistan.

00:07:46.940 And I believe his father said yes and his mother said no, he's never been to Pakistan.

00:07:50.980 And then it turned out that he attended a radical mosque in Toronto.

00:07:55.140 He had gone to Pakistan.

00:07:56.640 There was a lot of very disturbing things that the police just refused to look into.

00:08:02.680 The legacy media decided that they were the victims of the Danforth shooting, the family, and that we had to rally around the family of the terrorist and that we couldn't call him a terrorist.

00:08:12.100 And I remember the point, I've never disclosed this before, but the Toronto Sun, my employer at the time, would not let me report on it anymore because they didn't want me to go down this rabbit hole.

00:08:20.020 They were worried about getting sued.

00:08:20.980 And basically, they just said, Joe Warrington's covering the story.

00:08:24.100 No one else can write about it.

00:08:25.100 And I was banned from writing about the story, even though I think it was a huge public interest.

00:08:29.320 I think that the police were misleading the public and the legacy media were absolutely complicit in it all.

00:08:34.500 I'm happy to dive into this with you, Candice, because I didn't cover it at the time, but it did strike me that there were some very concerning indications.

00:08:44.320 People were not even focused on the fentanyl issue at the time, but come on, 33 restricted weapons, 40 kilograms of carfentanil, 100 times more powerful than fentanyl.

00:08:57.340 And you're right.

00:08:58.660 The media, it seemed, came up with the idea that the families were the victims there.

00:09:03.880 And so this is what struck me when a DEA source, we're talking to a person that's investigated everyone from terrorists to El Chapo, reached out and said, Sam at the Bureau, you've been hitting the nail on the head in ways that we cannot speak of because this is classified information.

00:09:23.640 The dots you're connecting on the Chinese Communist Party and international threat works are exactly true. 1.00

00:09:30.800 And he told me he was very bothered.

00:09:33.800 He pushed through the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies to get more cooperation from the RCMP on that case.

00:09:41.900 And as he told me multiple times, the U.S. government was shut down by high level bureaucrats in Ottawa.

00:09:48.380 Other shocking findings.

00:09:50.140 They said they found food dye.

00:09:52.280 That is, the local police at least shared some photos of that seizure.

00:09:55.920 And this led the DEA to believe this product could have been, you know, parceled out for mass trafficking to young people.

00:10:04.300 And yet we never read that in the Canadian media.

00:10:07.040 Another major point.

00:10:08.560 I pressed my source, Donald M.

00:10:10.720 People can look him up.

00:10:12.200 He's an extremely high level investigator with the DEA.

00:10:15.620 He's worked U.S. military intelligents.

00:10:18.140 He said, Sam, we found links in Pakistan that are extremely concerning.

00:10:22.940 I said, link to terror?

00:10:25.100 He said, I won't tell you any more than it was extremely concerning, indirect links to terror.

00:10:32.240 I'm not sure if anyone is happy that I've reported this.

00:10:35.920 But look, after I broke that story, Candace, I can share this with you as a little bit of news nugget.

00:10:42.880 A Canadian intelligence source reached out to me and said, you are right.

00:10:46.700 There was an ISIS link to that whole case, and it was covered up.

00:10:52.060 The prosecutors didn't want to go after it.

00:10:54.840 I'm not sure if that's a headline.

00:10:56.360 I haven't reported it yet.

00:10:57.680 But since you have background on the story, I think it's fair and the right time for me to share it with you.

00:11:04.060 There's a lot more to this story.

00:11:05.460 And I was told that, of course, we don't know what was brought up in the White House with Mark Carney, Melanie Jolie and Dominic LeBlanc and our then public safety minister, Mr. McGinty and J.D. Vance and President Trump.

00:11:21.200 But I was told that car fentanyl case may have come up.

00:11:24.900 I don't know if it did, but I'm told certainly it's of concern.

00:11:28.500 Well, it's very interesting, and just in case the audience doesn't quite remember, this was a horrific shooting that happened back in 2018 on the Danforth, which is a popular street in basically adjacent to downtown Toronto.

00:11:41.180 It's known as Greek Town.

00:11:42.240 And a mentally deranged person came and shot, and it seemed like he was aiming at girls.

00:11:46.520 I think there were two young girls that ended up dying from this.

00:11:49.740 And it came out like a day or two later that the shooter, a family spokesperson came out, first of all.

00:11:57.100 This family spokesperson was a known, like, NDP operative, and he came out and said that the shooter was mentally ill.

00:12:03.580 He was deceased, that he was mentally ill, and that it wasn't terrorism.

00:12:07.460 It was just mental illness.

00:12:08.640 And the legacy media just bought that, like hook, line, and sinker. 0.98

00:12:11.360 And then after that, it was like, no one can talk about this, or you are a racist bigot who's Islamophobic. 0.59

00:12:17.100 And again, at the time it was with Toronto Sun.

00:12:18.620 Look, Joe Warmington is one of the best reporters in Canada, and he did a great job covering this.

00:12:22.480 But the fact that my newspaper didn't want me to be talking about this issue at all, they basically banned me from writing about it.

00:12:29.440 And the more that I was digging, I was also in communication with people in the scene, people who were even relatives of these poor young girls that lost their lives.

00:12:38.500 And people weren't buying what was being sold.

00:12:41.180 But it was, you know, all working together, the police chief said, none of this Islamophobic stuff, like anyone even asking questions about the ties to radical Islam that was, you know, that we're talking about near the height of ISIS and the Syrian refugee crisis and all that kind of stuff happening.

00:12:57.440 And we were just told to stop talking about it and move on.

00:13:00.740 And it was shocking to see the legacy media just go along with that.

00:13:02.880 I'm so pleased that you kept digging on it because I did for a while and then I stopped.

00:13:07.880 But I agree that there is a lot more to that story.

00:13:11.180 And I'm glad he brought up the Oval Office exchange as well, because I found this quite interesting, right?

00:13:16.680 During the election campaign, Mark Carney didn't really talk about fentanyl.

00:13:20.240 He didn't really talk about the border.

00:13:22.320 He kind of ignored Donald Trump's prodding on this issue.

00:13:24.500 Actually, we have a clip.

00:13:25.460 First, I'll show this one.

00:13:26.240 This is from February 12th, 2025, when Mark Carney is sort of new to the scene.

00:13:30.100 And he says that Canada does not have a fentanyl crisis.

00:13:33.620 Let's play this clip.

00:13:34.200 Fentanyl is an absolute crisis in the United States.

00:13:38.760 It's a challenge here, but it's a crisis there.

00:13:41.180 So totally different tone from Mark Carney after he wins the election.

00:13:45.660 This is him in that Oval Office meeting that you just mentioned with President Trump and J.D. Vance and others on May 6th.

00:13:52.200 And here, Prime Minister Carney is thanking Donald Trump for his leadership and saying that Canada is also focused on cleaning up our border and cleaning up our fentanyl issue.

00:14:00.360 Let's play that clip.

00:14:00.880 Thank you for your hospitality and, above all, for your leadership.

00:14:05.900 You're a transformational president, the focus on the economy with a relentless focus on the American worker, securing your borders, ending the scourge of fentanyl and other opioids, and securing the world.

00:14:20.960 And I've been elected with my colleagues here, with the help of my colleagues here, I'm going to spread the credit, to transform Canada with a similar focus on the economy, securing our borders, again, on fentanyl.

00:14:37.020 I've got a much greater focus on defence and security, securing the Arctic and developing the Arctic.

00:14:42.440 And, you know, the history of Canada and the U.S. is we're stronger when we work together and there's many opportunities to work together.

00:14:49.320 And I look forward to, you know, addressing some of those issues that we have, but also finding those areas of mutual cooperation so we can...

00:14:56.440 So, Sam, what did you make of Mark Carney's sort of reversal?

00:15:00.200 So, all of a sudden, he's praising Trump and saying that fentanyl is a big issue after denying it.

00:15:04.200 And I really didn't hear him talk about that much on the campaign trail at all.

00:15:08.200 It's really a stunning clip because pretty much every word that Mark Carney said would be something that the Bureau would have written about.

00:15:17.180 And in many podcasts, I would have advocated, this is the stance Canada needs to take, or else our sovereignty is in deep danger.

00:15:26.080 We need to acknowledge to the United States that Canada is a big part of the solution here.

00:15:32.380 And, you know, we need to step up to the plate.

00:15:36.960 So, essentially, you know, if that was Mark Carney's real intention, I'd be very happy.

00:15:44.180 In fact, I would have thought that Pierre Polyev and the Conservatives, that was more their campaign message, which Mark Carney just reflected.

00:15:53.480 And as I'm, you know, I have a long career in the Canadian media, I would call myself a good analyst of their coverage.

00:16:01.400 I found that Mark Carney, his prime minister's office operatives, and the media that are very friendly with them

00:16:08.140 had the exact opposite of the narrative that he had just said to Donald Trump in that meeting.

00:16:13.720 And that was to deny that Canada is a big problem on fentanyl, to say that the U.S. is unfairly targeting us,

00:16:21.460 and essentially, you know, to use the vernacular, big orange man bad, Canada good.

00:16:27.740 Why is he picking on us?

00:16:29.600 So I just think, you know, really my thoughts are that that raises the theme that what we're hearing from Mark Carney,

00:16:36.360 what comes out about his private phone call to President Trump beforehand, telling him,

00:16:43.500 you're a transformative president, I'm going to be hitting you during the campaign, but don't worry,

00:16:47.720 that's just kind of a, that's just for the public.

00:16:51.000 Look, I think that's what's happening, and that's what's reflected in those White House comments.

00:16:55.400 Okay, but I am curious about the action on this, right?

00:16:59.640 So you have Carney in the White House sort of saying to Trump what Trump wants to hear,

00:17:04.320 and then two weeks later you have President Trump's FBI director, Kash Patel, that Trump individually selected,

00:17:11.240 coming out and saying, it's happening, it's happening in your country,

00:17:14.640 all of our adversaries are working together through this port of Vancouver.

00:17:18.340 Like, do you think that Mark Carney will take action?

00:17:21.100 And it's an interesting thing that's happening, right?

00:17:23.680 Like, under the Trudeau government of the last decade, the bureaucracy has grown significantly, right?

00:17:29.180 It's not like they have reservations about hiring new government agents, right?

00:17:33.800 Why don't they have more people monitoring these ports of Vancouver?

00:17:37.240 Why is it just 1%?

00:17:38.580 I mean, even after sort of publicly getting humiliated in some ways,

00:17:42.660 like the FBI director calling us out saying, we know what's happening.

00:17:45.880 It's happening right here, guys.

00:17:47.000 Like, get your act together.

00:17:47.880 Do you think that Mark Carney will actually take some action here and start cracking down on this?

00:17:53.460 I think it will take tremendous and increased pressure from the United States.

00:17:59.860 It's a very complex subject, but if I'm extremely brutally honest,

00:18:05.540 I don't think the Canadian government will take action unless forced even harder by Washington.

00:18:12.920 Why do I say that?

00:18:13.860 I've been told by senior U.S. government sources that for years,

00:18:18.160 in private meetings with elite Canadian officials of the type that, you know,

00:18:23.600 could include Bill Blair, you know, Dominic LeBlanc, senior RCMP, you know, commissioner level,

00:18:30.420 the U.S. government brings up concerns that Mexican cartels have been growing in Canada

00:18:35.580 since the Trudeau government removed visa requirements and the U.S. government was met with denials

00:18:42.240 and met with sort of polite Canadian handshaking, we'll get on it and nothing happens.

00:18:48.140 And so when you saw the tariff threats and you see something like a billion dollars,

00:18:53.000 the figure was raised in terms of beefing up Canada's border patrol, buying some helicopters.

00:18:58.540 Again, I just think this is press releases and sort of, you know, indications of action

00:19:06.060 that doesn't really lead to results.

00:19:08.740 Why do I say that?

00:19:09.820 In order to really crack down on Chinese Communist Party operatives,

00:19:14.840 which my sources indicate, use Canada as command and control for the Western Hemisphere in many ways,

00:19:23.000 and the Mexican cartels and Iranian threat networks that I'm saying are strongly set up in Canadian cities,

00:19:29.900 Canada would have to reform its criminal act and get a sort of an anti-racketeering law.

00:19:35.700 We need to beef up our foreign interference laws. 0.98

00:19:38.600 We need to, as I've written, port police were taken out of the Vancouver port.

00:19:43.840 Jean-Crécian's government was warned 20 years ago by an association of police chiefs saying,

00:19:49.100 we've got a major vulnerability, Chinese-organized crime and intelligence is taking over in the Vancouver port, 0.81

00:19:55.080 and nothing was changed.

00:19:56.420 So those are, I would say, three action items that if Mark Carney was really serious,

00:20:01.860 he could come out on, you know, in a big press conference next week and say,

00:20:06.120 we're doing this, this, and this.

00:20:07.900 He could do one of his sort of fake executive orders and saying,

00:20:14.340 we're getting a racketeering law.

00:20:16.480 He'd really have to put it through parliament.

00:20:18.000 But I would applaud that theater if he did it because it would show he's really going to act right now.

00:20:23.480 I'm sorry to say, I just see the usual liberal sort of nicety, pleasant words and kicking the can.

00:20:29.720 I don't think that they want to, they will crack down on this unless extreme pressure continues to be brought on them.

00:20:36.720 Well, 100%.

00:20:37.400 And they have their cheerleaders in the legacy media covering it up.

00:20:40.880 I've talked to you about this before, but I just want to remind viewers of this one.

00:20:44.340 So the Globe and Mail was out there, among many other publications.

00:20:47.600 This is just one that we took.

00:20:49.400 After President Trump said that he was concerned about fentanyl coming in from Canada,

00:20:53.140 here's the Globe and Mail headline.

00:20:54.860 The U.S. is the real source of fentanyl, the fentanyl crisis, not Canada.

00:20:59.060 And then basically in the article, this is written by journalist Marcus Gee,

00:21:03.540 he writes that the RCMP sees no evidence of this.

00:21:07.160 It's the claim that the United States is being flooded with fentanyl from Canada.

00:21:10.300 He says the RCMP sees no evidence of it, nor do other experts in drug trafficking.

00:21:14.940 Alberta says if there is a flood, it is flowing in the opposite direction.

00:21:19.000 And so then this narrative came up.

00:21:20.560 This was from March 2025.

00:21:23.360 And basically the idea was that, no, no, no, Canada is not a problem at all.

00:21:27.120 And the Globe and Mail and others perpetuating this idea to sort of cover for the liberals,

00:21:30.940 saying, no, no, they didn't create the problem.

00:21:32.660 The Americans are lying and the Americans are the problem. 1.00

00:21:35.760 Well, Sam, I don't know if you saw our report.

00:21:37.320 We did an analysis of every single story during the election

00:21:40.200 and sense if there was a bias one way or another.

00:21:42.900 And we found that the Globe and Mail was the worst perpetrator of the pro-carny, anti-polio bias,

00:21:48.800 even worse than the CBC.

00:21:50.160 And so stories like this from the Globe and Mail don't really surprise me at this point.

00:21:53.540 But what do you make of that?

00:21:54.880 Yeah, I'm glad that you've kind of systematically documented that.

00:21:59.060 I, in an anecdotal way, of course, I read the big stories.

00:22:02.820 I follow their big columnists.

00:22:05.320 And, you know, I was in that coverage.

00:22:07.660 I was reminded of, you know, in 2015 when I was breaking the news at the Vancouver province

00:22:14.380 that Chinese-based buyers were essentially becoming a major force in the city's real estate.

00:22:21.500 The Globe and Mail came out with a story called

00:22:23.380 The Myth of the Chinese Buyer, a big headline. 0.98

00:22:26.700 And so it just fit into that narrative.

00:22:28.940 No, not happening here.

00:22:30.840 You know, why do they do it?

00:22:33.520 I don't know if it's kind of progressive-leaning reporters.

00:22:36.700 I don't know if they get pressure from editors.

00:22:40.060 But I do know that, you know, the people writing these columns,

00:22:44.840 that Canada doesn't have a big fentanyl problem,

00:22:47.380 are not subject matter experts as I am.

00:22:50.460 They're not sourced in policing, military, and intelligence, North America.

00:22:55.980 They're political reporters.

00:22:57.840 So it just makes sense that they buy sort of, in my experience and analysis,

00:23:02.420 when the prime minister's office wants to get a narrative out,

00:23:05.860 you know, it'll send someone out to have a coffee or a wine

00:23:09.220 with a big reporter at the CBC and the Globe and Mail.

00:23:12.840 And then that'll lead to, I've become cynical now,

00:23:15.380 you'll see a front-page Globe and Mail story,

00:23:18.280 you know, what I call PMO talking notes.

00:23:21.620 Not to say that the Globe and Mail won't do some stories critical of prime ministers.

00:23:26.000 There's sort of a frenemy relationship there at times.

00:23:29.460 But I've become very jaded in terms of believing at this point, you know,

00:23:34.320 some of our major journalists in Ottawa.

00:23:36.680 Well, good.

00:23:36.940 We all should be.

00:23:37.740 And I think that's why Juno News and the Bureau exist, because we're filling a need.

00:23:41.720 I want to play one more clip of Kash Patel for you here, Sam.

00:23:45.180 This one is talking about terrorists, known and suspected terrorists,

00:23:49.440 crossing into the United States illegally from Canada.

00:23:52.780 Let's play this clip.

00:23:53.160 Over 300 known or suspected terrorists crossed into this country last year illegally.

00:23:58.020 Known or suspected terrorists, not illegals.

00:24:00.420 Not just illegals, known or suspected terrorists.

00:24:03.180 85% of them came in through the northern border.

00:24:06.400 This year, 100 known or suspected terrorists have crossed into this country illegally.

00:24:12.620 64 north and north.

00:24:14.520 So this is something that I've reported on for a long time.

00:24:17.700 So just back in November 2024, I was actually still maternally, but I got these statistics.

00:24:22.580 And so I published in True North.

00:24:24.420 Let me just read what I wrote back in November.

00:24:26.620 I write that five times more terrorists are coming from Canada.

00:24:30.160 Canada is legitimately more of a threat to the United States national security than Mexico.

00:24:34.600 According to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, since 2022,

00:24:38.220 1,155 individuals on terror watch lists were caught trying to enter the United States

00:24:43.420 through its northern border compared to just 199 from the south.

00:24:47.540 Yes, you read that correctly.

00:24:48.420 Five times as many terrorists entered the United States through Canada than through Mexico since

00:24:52.880 2022.

00:24:54.120 And what were those 1,155 terrorists doing in Canada in the first place?

00:24:58.500 How did they get here?

00:24:59.480 And how many more remain?

00:25:01.060 And I asked a question of True Dice.

00:25:02.620 This is one of the things that he must answer for with his colossal failure of national security

00:25:07.860 and immigration.

00:25:09.100 And then, Sam, just this week, we heard another story of an ISIS man in Canada.

00:25:13.380 This is a man pleads guilty after raising funds for ISIS under the guise of Gaza donations.

00:25:19.440 A Toronto man is pleaded guilty to terrorism charges after, again, just, you know, pretending

00:25:24.560 to raise money for victims, for aid victims in Gaza, but actually funneling the money to ISIS.

00:25:30.460 Like, how on earth is this happening in Canada still, right?

00:25:33.880 We were just talking about the Danforth shooter.

00:25:35.620 And at that time, there were a lot of concerns of ISIS fighters fleeing Syria, like people

00:25:41.880 who had gone over to fight over there, and then just kind of snuck back into Canada and

00:25:45.480 try to pretend that nothing ever happened.

00:25:47.560 And the Canadian authorities were aware of these individuals, but many cases just allowed

00:25:52.340 them to, like, return back to their previous lives without any punishment.

00:25:57.140 And it seems like it's still happening.

00:25:58.620 It's so unbelievable.

00:25:59.620 What do you make of all this?

00:26:01.840 Yeah, you're exactly right.

00:26:03.000 For the Bureau, I've been reporting for two years now.

00:26:06.700 Partly, one of my big files was there was a major compromise of passports in Hong Kong

00:26:14.460 in the 1990s.

00:26:16.380 What was revealed, according to a whistleblower, Brian McAdam, was that Chinese organized crime

00:26:21.220 and intelligence had penetrated Canada's High Commission.

00:26:25.240 There were concerns that officials, Canadian officials, corrupted passports, stolen files of

00:26:32.220 very serious people from organized crime, altered to allow them to enter Canada.

00:26:38.440 And so this has been going on for decades.

00:26:40.840 Mr. McAdam's warnings were ignored.

00:26:44.960 It all leads to circling back to Kash Patel's comments.

00:26:49.760 I've reported that this convergence of Chinese organized crime, which is very close and sponsored 0.99

00:26:56.520 by the Chinese Communist Party intelligence arms, works together with Latin American organized

00:27:01.840 crime on smuggling across borders, on getting stolen passports to route people.

00:27:09.460 Let's just say the highest bidders from criminal networks, terror networks, human smugglers know

00:27:17.380 where to go to get passports to enter Canada because we're a weak spot.

00:27:22.720 And beyond that, as my CBSA whistleblower alleged, there have been compromises within Canada's

00:27:30.000 border services agency and other agencies of these very same transnational organized crime

00:27:36.560 groups.

00:27:36.960 So why is Kash Patel saying Canada's northern border is a bigger threat for terrorists coming

00:27:42.340 across?

00:27:43.260 Exactly what I've been reporting on, these stunning, hard to believe criminal convergences that have

00:27:49.440 infiltrated Canada's systems.

00:27:51.880 Well, it's a long-standing problem, right?

00:27:54.520 Like this dates back to pre-9-11.

00:27:57.040 There's a woman named Yasmin Mohamed, and she's an incredible story.

00:28:01.140 She's a podcaster and journalist based out in British Columbia.

00:28:04.960 And she was the wife of a mastermind in the 9-11 attacks. 0.94

00:28:10.480 And she moved to Canada in the 90s, unbeknownst to her that her husband was this crazy terrorist 0.96

00:28:15.860 that was planning this awful attack.

00:28:17.840 And basically, she found out who he was by like US CIA officials coming to her house.

00:28:25.520 And she got out of a very bad situation.

00:28:28.000 She turned her life around now and helps other people that are stuck in sort of like crazy,

00:28:34.020 radicalized families and communities come out.

00:28:37.360 But, you know, even the story of Omar Khadr, right?

00:28:40.160 Like his father also came to Canada.

00:28:42.380 And he was also, you know, high up in Al-Qaeda friends with Osama bin Laden.

00:28:46.240 Like, it's unbelievable that Canada has long been this like playing ground for radical Islamist 0.99

00:28:53.980 terrorists and others.

00:28:55.360 And it's still happening.

00:28:56.720 And we haven't figured out a way to stop it or crack down on it.

00:29:00.100 I mean, I'm sorry that it takes the Americans coming in and saying, you have a major problem.

00:29:04.920 But like, it's just unbelievable that Canada continues to allow this stuff to happen.

00:29:10.240 Largely, I think, a cultural issue and I believe also a political corruption issue at the end of the day.

00:29:18.100 Interesting.
