Hey, today's podcast really great. We go up north of the border to Canada to talk to Ezra Levant,
00:00:05.840
who has a disturbing story about the U.S. Navy having some research group at the University of
00:00:14.840
Arkansas look for Canadian extremists. Why? I mean, shouldn't you concentrate on China?
00:00:23.700
And they found rebelnews.com and the lies that were said in this report. Who's paying for this? Us.
00:00:34.520
Why are they looking into media in Canada? We'd like some answers. That's on today's program. Also,

00:01:40.060
We have Senator Ted Cruz on with us now. He's we have several topics we want to hit. But I have
00:01:47.100
to start with this reporter asked him yesterday. Could you please wear a mask? And here's what
00:01:52.320
he said. Yeah, when I'm talking to the TV camera, I'm not going to wear a mask. And all of us
00:01:59.100
have been immunized. So you're welcome to step away if you like. The whole point of a vaccine
00:02:08.400
CDC guidance is what we're following. Yeah. Good for you. Ted Cruz. Welcome to the program.
00:02:14.200
How are you, Ted? Glenn. Good morning. Good to be with you. Thank you. I want to talk to you about
00:02:18.360
the border. We now have confirmation that it's not only the Dallas Convention Center, but they are now
00:02:27.520
storing people in Pecos, Texas, Midland, Carrizo Springs, two Texas military bases, plus 1400 are going
00:02:39.720
to be housed now at the San Diego Convention Center. What's happening, Ted? It is an absolute crisis at
00:02:48.680
the border, and it's getting worse and worse every day. They have. Go ahead. The direct result of
00:02:54.260
political decisions made by Joe Biden and his administration. They cause this crisis and their
00:03:00.940
political decisions continue to make it worse. Do you think I mean, honestly, I was talking to a
00:03:07.140
farmer the other day and when he saw what the president and his administration did with the
00:03:12.800
farm relief bill and said, hey, we're going to give it to black farmers and minority farmers and not
00:03:18.720
necessarily white. He said, Glenn, I just there's no other way for me to view that other than intentional
00:03:26.440
divisiveness. He said there's nothing more divisive than that, especially for a community of farmers
00:03:32.760
farmers, where everybody is helping each other. Everybody's on the same side. It doesn't matter
00:03:38.580
what color you are. The same thing here. Is there is this just sheer incompetence or is was did they
00:03:47.080
know this was going to happen and they did it anyway? It's something worse than that, which is its
00:03:52.620
rabid partisanship that blinds them to everything else. This administration is driven by the hard
00:03:59.580
left. The agenda is set by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and AOC, and their view on the
00:04:05.540
border is they support open borders. They view ICE. Kamala Harris said ICE law enforcement are the
00:04:12.520
equivalent of KKK or stormtroopers. That's their view. And so Joe Biden got elected president. As soon
00:04:19.380
as he gets sworn in, in his first week, he halted construction of the border wall. He reinstituted
00:04:26.320
the failed policy of catch and release. So now when we catch an illegal immigrant, we let them go. We
00:04:31.920
give them a court date sometime in the future, and we know a whole lot of them are never coming back
00:04:35.560
back to be seen again. And most indefensibly, he ended the remain in Mexico policy. Now, what is the
00:04:43.800
remain in Mexico policy? It was a big foreign policy victory of the Trump administration, where
00:04:49.880
President Trump negotiated with Mexico and Mexico agreed that illegal immigrants from Central America
00:04:56.180
who had applied for asylum in the United States would remain in Mexico while the cases proceeded.
00:05:01.620
And it was working, and it was lowering the numbers dramatically. And the Biden administration is so
00:05:07.040
ideological, they didn't care. And they've produced, we are already seeing right now, the highest number
00:05:13.480
of illegal immigrants in 20 years on the southern border. And HHS has in their custody 11,551 children.
00:05:24.140
And that's just HHS. They said, you know, Ted, you and I were down at the border years ago under Obama.
00:05:32.720
And you and I both know, and I called Chuck Todd myself and said, hey, you've got to look into this.
00:05:40.380
They were not interested in the, quote, cages that were holding children. Now, they're not interested
00:05:47.820
again. In fact, they're making the argument that this is humanitarian. This is the right thing to do
00:05:55.580
to keep them in cages. That is exactly right. For four years of the Trump presidency, Democrats in the
00:06:02.440
media talked every day about kids in cages. What they ignored is that Barack Obama built the cages.
00:06:09.120
You and I both went to those cages during the Obama administration. They utterly ignored that.
00:06:15.540
But and now Joe Biden is making the cages bigger and they're more full. And I'll tell you, it is truly a
00:06:23.820
catastrophe. You take a facility like the Donna facility in South Texas. The Donna facility has a capacity of
00:06:30.500
250 people. It was built to house 250 detainees. It currently has nearly 4,000. Oh, my gosh. That is over 1,500 percent
00:06:43.100
in excess of its capacity. And so there's a reason why the Biden administration is trying to hide it.
00:06:49.340
You know, I'm flying down to the border tonight and I'm bringing 18 senators down to the border to see firsthand what's
00:06:55.740
happening. The Biden administration is refusing to allow press to join us. Fox News wanted to embed with
00:07:03.360
us. ABC News wanted to embed with us. And the Biden administration has a total press blackout. They
00:07:09.600
won't allow reporters in. And Glenn, their justification is laughable on its face. They say the reason they
00:07:15.860
want to allow reporters in is because reporters might have covid. And so one cameraman, a pool
00:07:23.480
cameraman, they say, nope, too big a covid risk. We can't let the guy with the camera in. And it's
00:07:28.380
because they want to hide the absolute disaster they've created. Ted, bring your phone. Can you
00:07:34.400
bring your phone in there? I'm going to bring my phone and we'll see what they do. I expect some
00:07:39.660
fireworks because the Biden administration is desperately trying to cover this up. By the way,
00:07:45.320
we went and looked. So I've been down to the border in the Trump administration. They allowed
00:07:49.240
media in and cameras in. I've been down to the border in the Obama administration. They allowed
00:07:53.160
media in and cameras in. By the way, George W. Bush, they allowed media and cameras in to the
00:07:58.240
facilities. Then Bill Clinton, they allowed media in. It is only Joe Biden that engages in this cover up.
00:08:06.200
And right now, I think too many of the press are still being docile and defenders of him
00:08:11.620
while while they're and they're making arguments that are facially absurd. You want to talk about
00:08:18.540
covid-19? Glenn, I'm going to give you a stunning statistic of the illegal immigrants that are being
00:08:25.860
released in Harlingen, Texas. They are testing positive for covid-19 at a rate seven times higher
00:08:33.580
than the U.S. population. And they're just releasing these people.
00:08:36.980
They're letting them go. Many of them are not even testing. I mean, I mean, it is the reports and I'm
00:08:43.900
going to go see it tonight and tomorrow. But the reports are that the kids are packed in so tight that
00:08:50.060
they're sleeping on their sides because they can't even lay down, lay down flat. And that in the midst of
00:08:56.880
a pandemic, that is the direct result of the decisions Joe Biden has made. And these kids, little boys,
00:09:04.820
little girls who are being handed over to human traffickers, these guys are violent criminals.
00:09:10.620
They're physically assaulting these children. They're sexually assaulting these children. And
00:09:14.840
it is not humane. It is not compassionate to adopt policies that result in tens of thousands or
00:09:23.340
hundreds of thousands of little boys and little girls being abused by human traffic.
00:09:28.640
Ted, I'd love to have you on tomorrow. I don't know what your plan is, but after you see the camp,
00:09:32.720
we'd love to have you back on. We'll definitely do it. Okay. Real quick, I have to ask you two more
00:09:38.180
questions. First of all, you said H.R. 1, this is a quote, the most dangerous bill this committee
00:09:44.260
has ever considered. Yes. So this bill, which many of us are calling the Corrupt Politicians Act,
00:09:54.440
is designed to entrench and keep corrupt politicians in office forever. It's designed to keep
00:10:01.300
democratic control of the federal government for the next hundred years. How do they do that? It's a
00:10:08.160
total federal takeover of all of our elections. Absolutely unconstitutional. It's completely
00:10:12.880
unconstitutional, but it's also deliberately dangerous. It invites and creates massive voter
00:10:20.440
fraud. How does it do it? It repeals virtually every state voter integrity law. So for example,
00:10:26.500
29 states require voter ID. The Corrupt Politicians Act repeals all of those laws,
00:10:33.620
says it's illegal to require ID to vote. That's an invitation to fraud, and it's intended to be that.
00:10:39.320
It requires universal mail-in voting, which is another wide opportunity for fraud, and it requires
00:10:45.960
ballot harvesting. 31 states prohibit ballot harvesting, which is where you have paid political
00:10:51.920
operatives going, say, to a nursing home and collecting hundreds of ballots, many from people
00:10:57.600
who may no longer be competent to make those decisions. And it invites fraud. If you have
00:11:02.840
someone from the DNC, and gosh, you know, grandpa votes the wrong way and votes Republican, they can
00:11:07.880
just throw that ballot in the trash and only mail in the Democratic ones. Not only that, it mandates
00:11:15.380
immediate registration of essentially everyone, anyone who interacts with the government. So if you get a
00:11:21.300
welfare check, if you get an unemployment check, if you get a driver's license, if you attend a public
00:11:25.780
college or university, you're automatically registered to vote. They know that will result
00:11:31.100
in registering millions of illegal aliens. Not just a couple, but millions. And that is because the
00:11:38.860
Democrats want millions of illegal aliens to vote. And on top of that, it mandates, it strikes down all the
00:11:46.060
state laws restricting criminals from voting, restricting felons from voting. It says the
00:11:51.620
instant anyone gets out of prison, they're entitled to vote no matter what the state law is. And I guess
00:11:56.720
the Democrats have made the decision that if millions of illegal immigrants and millions of
00:12:01.440
criminals are able to vote, they're going to vote for Democrats and that's going to keep them in
00:12:05.960
power. So it is a dangerous bill. They've already said that they're spinning it as the Republicans are
00:12:12.700
just trying to take away your right to vote. That's how they're spinning it. And they're starting to
00:12:17.540
talk about the filibuster. Now we have, I view it as a threat from the president to the Senate to pass
00:12:27.460
these common sense gun reforms. Are they, I mean, is there, is it unreasonable to think that they'll
00:12:36.660
take away the filibuster and that they are coming for all of the guns? I think there is a very serious
00:12:44.220
risk on both of those. The filibuster right now, as you know, we have a 50-50 Senate.
00:12:50.200
If all of the Democrats stand together, they can end the filibuster. Right now it takes 60 votes to
00:12:55.500
pass legislation. But if all the Democrats stand together, they can do it. 48 of them have already
00:13:00.620
said they will. There are only two Democrats who even claim they will oppose it. It is Joe Manchin
00:13:05.340
from West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema from Arizona. I'll tell you, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats
00:13:11.160
are raining down a world of hurt. I can tell you, I've served in the Senate nine years with Joe Manchin.
00:13:18.300
He's a very nice man. He's very affable and likable. In nine years, he has never once
00:13:24.680
stood up to Chuck Schumer on any issue that mattered when he was the deciding vote. And so
00:13:30.380
the pattern we've seen from him is he finds some cute way to say he didn't give in, but let Schumer
00:13:36.500
do exactly what he wants. And I think there's a real risk of that on the filibuster. And if they do
00:13:42.020
that, their number one priority is the Corrupt Politicians Act, because that keeps them in power
00:13:47.260
forever. Yeah. But but you better believe packing the U.S. Supreme Court is right behind that.
00:13:53.280
Making D.C. a state is right behind that and coming after our guns. As you know, Glenn,
00:13:59.080
when Joe Biden was asked, if you win, does that mean you're coming after the guns? And his answer was
00:14:07.540
Thank you, Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz from the great state of Texas. We'll talk to you tomorrow
00:14:12.940
after you visited the cages and can tell us what really what's going on down at the border. Thank
00:14:19.100
you so much, Ted. Thank you. God bless. You bet. Senator Ted Cruz.
00:14:37.540
I've been telling you about rec tech now for, gosh, it's been a year. And I have to tell you,
00:14:44.640
I am as happy with my rec tech as I was the day it arrived. I still I had somebody come onto my
00:14:50.060
back porch and said, what kind of grill is that? I said, hey, a grill. That's a rec tech. It is
00:14:57.120
amazing. Now, Dallas, it's warm. If even if it's a little cold out where you are, you don't have to
00:15:04.000
stand outside to grill. You're going to be mighty uncomfortable in Minnesota, but not with a rec tech
00:15:09.900
sleek and sturdy built from stainless steel. It's got smart grill technology, which means it
00:15:16.120
automatically adjusts to make sure you get the perfect temperature at all times. You can monitor
00:15:21.060
and control it from an app. So you're inside while it's grilling and smoking or even baking outside
00:15:27.180
rec tech wins the day. Follow rec tech on all social media. Sign up for their newsletter at rec tech
00:15:33.260
with a Q at the end. Rec tech dot com. That's R-E-C-T-E-Q dot com. The accused Boulder
00:15:40.220
supermarket gunman, Ahmed Al-Ali. Anyway, Alyssa. What is this? It's Ahmed Al-Ali. Alyssa.
00:15:54.200
I love that. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? The press wants you to know he's a loner.
00:16:00.320
He's a lone wolf. He just lived in his family's basement. Never had a girlfriend.
00:16:08.000
Usami Al-Moussa, Alyssa's brother-in-law, said that the shooter lived in the basement of his
00:16:16.220
family's home there in Colorado. Never had a lot of friends. He said every time I visited
00:16:21.360
with my wife's family, he would always sit away from everyone else, not saying anything
00:16:25.720
to anyone. It was really strange. He was a loner, just sitting to the side, not with
00:16:30.900
us. He works with his family and his brothers, but there were never any girlfriends and not
00:16:36.920
many friends. Oh, man. Even his mother said this when he was arrested for the massacre.
00:16:44.100
This is what his mother said. He has a reputation of being stupid, not smart.
00:16:50.440
Can you imagine your mom saying that about you? Yeah, my son. What a dummy. He's not like
00:17:00.520
a proper Muslim. I don't even know what kind of Muslim he was. He didn't go to the mosque
00:17:04.820
I go to. Just odd coming from a mom. That's your first statement? Really? Well, I think,
00:17:12.960
though, when your son has murdered 10 people, probably the best thing you can do is make him
00:17:18.660
not responsible for it because he's dumb or he's got an illness or whatever the case may be. I mean,
00:17:24.720
that's your sort of backup reasoning. And certainly you don't want to blame it on your faith. So
00:17:29.860
you're going to say he wasn't a good Muslim. Your first thing is, I mean, think about the parents.
00:17:35.740
So they're always like, we didn't see this coming. We have no idea. Not. Yep. He's been known to be a
00:17:43.020
dummy for a long time. People might think maybe the parenting was an issue here in this particular
00:17:51.640
situation. Hey, dummy, get back into the basement. Uh, now, uh, we know that he is a Muslim. However,
00:18:00.060
Twitter has said that calling him a white Christian terrorist,
00:18:04.920
have you read this quote, doesn't violate its misinformation policies?
00:18:15.320
Twitter told Newsweek that characterizing accused mass murder, uh, Ahmed Alawi, uh, is, uh, as a white
00:18:24.960
Christian terrorist does not violate its misinformation policies, even though he is from Syria and has been
00:18:32.760
identified as a Muslim. Uh, prior to the suspect's identity being made public, the magazine said
00:18:41.360
numerous Twitter users assumed the suspect was white and characterized the massacre as another
00:18:47.680
example of racial injustice and white supremacy in the United States. Uh, and lo and behold, that
00:18:54.000
white supremacy narrative blew up in all of the Twitter users faces. Some users have deleted their
00:19:00.940
tweets calling him white. Others have defended their claims saying they were based on his skin color
00:19:05.680
rather than his ethnicity. Uh, Newsweek put the misleading posts to Twitter. Social network has
00:19:14.280
been accused of left-wing bias and anti-Christian prejudice. Uh, but, uh, they said, no, we're not
00:19:21.760
taking any action on these. Uh, they're not in violation of the Twitter rules. We will not take action on
00:19:28.800
every instance of misinformation. Currently our misinformation rules cover COVID-19 misinformation,
00:19:35.540
synthetic and manipulated, uh, media and civic integrity. So you call a guy, uh, you know,
00:19:44.720
a white mass murderer, a white Christian, even though he's a Syrian Muslim, that's not important.
00:19:53.380
No, that's not important misinformation. So the cops went and they visited his home. He was living in
00:19:59.700
an $800,000 home in the basement. Uh, and, uh, we're starting to get a real look at this guy.
00:20:08.680
Clearly he was mentally ill. Um, he surrendered, you know, when he surrendered, he's like, I surrender,
00:20:14.460
I surrender. And I'm naked. Cause he really was in his underpants. The police have no other, no idea
00:20:22.820
why he stripped down, but apparently he just, he was standing there and he started taking off his clothes
00:20:29.600
to his underwear. And, uh, then he was like, I'm naked. I surrender. Maybe because he thought that I want
00:20:37.520
them to see that, you know, I'm not carrying a gun, carrying a weapon, which it's odd to do after a
00:20:44.420
shooting, but maybe he didn't want to necessarily be just shot. Correct. He wanted to be able to
00:20:49.000
surrender for some reason. Now, according to police, um, Alyssa, when he was 17, blacked out
00:20:55.980
and violently assaulted a classmate who had called him a terrorist. The report says Alyssa attacked
00:21:02.580
another student, uh, who had said, uh, he said was bullying him. Uh, he beat him to and left him
00:21:10.340
with a red and swollen face and his eye partially closed. The report claims that, uh, Kim Rose,
00:21:15.980
the other guy was crying and throwing up when his father arrived and threatened to, uh, press
00:21:22.840
charges. Alyssa said he couldn't take being bullied anymore. So he blacked out and rushed him.
00:21:29.340
I blacked out and rushed him. Really? Hmm. He claimed that Kim Rose had called him racist name,
00:21:39.100
called him a terrorist, even took a video of him and put it on Snapchat. Uh, he was charged
00:21:43.360
with a misdemeanor, um, uh, for the, uh, for the attack. Um, apparently he got bullied a lot
00:21:51.280
in high school. So that, you know, there you go. There's the white culture for you. Um, one
00:21:59.200
of the, uh, he was on a wrestling team. One of the wrestlers said he was violent and scary
00:22:04.420
to be around. He, um, uh, apparently in his senior year, they had wrestle offs to see who
00:22:12.160
would make varsity and he lost his match, but he quit the team and yelled out in the wrestling
00:22:17.120
room, uh, that he was going to kill everybody and nobody did anything, um, about it.
00:22:24.340
You know, I don't know how that happens. How is that? How is that happening? The guy
00:22:28.940
is violent. He threatens his classmates. I'm going to kill everyone. Your kid that eats
00:22:35.160
their peanut butter sandwich into the shape of a gun. They go to jail, but this guy, how
00:22:43.020
is this happening? It happened again. That was the story in Florida. Now he was 17 years
00:22:49.700
old at the time. Uh, he's, uh, not 17 now. Uh, but, uh, nothing to see here. Nothing
00:22:59.440
to see here. Lindsey Graham said the majority of the Senate will reject Biden's assault weapons
00:23:05.820
ban, but I'm not sure. Uh, and I don't think that this is the majority of the Senate.
00:23:12.900
Mm hmm. That's interesting. I guess what all 50 Republicans and Joe Manchin is a majority.
00:23:18.340
Yeah. And of course, Joe Manchin, not exactly reliable as Ted Cruz just pointed out on this
00:23:22.760
program. No. Uh, and, and, uh, I think this is coming out of order though. Let me tell you
00:23:28.960
the story that I think, you know, if you don't see this, you are truly blind and, and I, you
00:23:39.800
know, I'm a religious nut job. So what do I know? But I can only describe what is happening
00:23:46.200
in our country and our world as evil. There, the forces of evil have been unleashed and, uh,
00:23:56.280
everything is under attack. This isn't just about America. This is about the Western Judeo
00:24:02.380
Christian way of life. This is about everything on the line that the West has done. And it is
00:24:12.160
a really well thought out plan, uh, that has been in operation for a very long time.
00:24:21.400
And I think that, you know, it's like, look at how fast everything has happened
00:24:27.580
in, in the last 67 days, look how fast things have happened. You already are questioning your
00:24:35.100
military now, aren't you? You're questioning your military, whatever side you're on, you're
00:24:40.720
questioning the brass. If you're, uh, if you're a conservative and you're questioning the average
00:24:46.420
soldier, if you're a liberal, the military was the last thing that we had that we counted
00:24:51.240
on that we believed was not political and they've politicized it so much so that in about 10 minutes,
00:24:57.960
you're going to hear from a guy who testified in front of Congress, what they are doing in
00:25:02.560
our military. It is terrifying how they're accusing our military of being complete nut jobs.
00:25:11.500
They needed to make sure that the military, they could wash people out of the military
00:25:16.860
that are from red States. This is my theory. I don't have anything to know evidence of this other
00:25:24.040
than, you know, I just don't believe in this series of coincidence. You know, it's, it's much easier
00:25:29.980
to explain if somebody was sitting back and watching, uh, and, uh, and planning all of this,
00:25:36.480
they've done too much too fast for this just to be happenstance. So they come in, we have the
00:25:44.120
January 6th, uh, deal and what do they do? The FBI comes out with a report saying, this is the biggest
00:25:51.600
concern we have really not Antifa, but that collection of people. Really? The military is now is suspect.
00:26:03.040
Uh, and it's pretty much everyone who voted Republican is an extremist. You're a white supremacist,
00:26:10.960
Christian extremist. Well, that's demonizing half the country. What, how, why would you do that?
00:26:21.600
Well, then you have a shooting. You have a crazy guy who shoots up the salon and what do they say?
00:26:28.400
It's a right wing extremist. When he wasn't a, he was nuts. Second of all, he even said, no,
00:26:37.840
this had to do with, with sex addiction. Okay. But it didn't matter.
00:26:43.240
Why the narrative that was important to them at this time was that you were convinced and not you
00:26:53.280
because you're the target that half the country is convinced that those people who live in the crazy
00:26:59.840
red States are just that they're racist and they're crazy and they're afraid they're going to lose their
00:27:06.780
power and they are all gun nuts and they're going to shoot us all up. When this guy comes out and he's
00:27:14.660
Syrian and a Muslim, what do they do? They immediately pivot to don't pay attention to the guy,
00:27:23.580
pay attention to the gun, which they didn't do last week because they haven't cemented in the left's
00:27:31.220
mind entirely. That everybody who votes differently is a terrorist.
00:27:38.700
So they have to paint everyone who is against HR one against open borders. They have to paint these
00:27:48.100
people as crazy and dangerous. That was going to take some time. They've been thrown off their game.
00:27:57.740
I don't think they were planning on hitting guns this soon. First year. Absolutely.
00:28:04.580
When the time came, you bet, but I don't think they were done, uh, focusing America on how bad
00:28:13.820
things are. These right-wing extremists, that's how they needed to paint us to silence us and also paint
00:28:20.860
us to get us to give up guns or go to war or be rounded up by, you know, uh, sheriffs all around
00:28:30.180
those people who won't give up guns. They need us to respond in, in violent ways. And when we don't,
00:28:40.260
they just make it up anyway. So you mentioned something, I think it was yesterday or the day
00:28:45.420
before that this wasn't necessarily the event that puts this over the line. They still need
00:28:53.320
a crystal clear cut. Correct. Like event. Correct. Can you explain that? Yeah. They need a, uh,
00:29:00.240
Las Vegas, but they need a Las Vegas where the motive is clear. And it's, it's, you know,
00:29:06.340
they need a January 6th and, and, and everything they do fosters that kind of feeling in a lot of
00:29:15.680
people. They are taking away, they're operating as if they have a mandate when they don't have
00:29:22.120
a mandate. This is a clear election where you like moderate, you know what I mean? You come
00:29:27.700
together, you work together. That's the way it would be. They're operating as if this is a mandate
00:29:32.320
and then they're calling everyone who disagrees with them racist, but they've gone an extra step,
00:29:39.740
a dangerous extremist. That's Patriot, uh, act talk. Because I was reminded today that after Sandy
00:29:50.600
Hook, you remember the push for gun control after Sandy Hook, the Democrats had 58 senators when they
00:29:57.320
tried that and couldn't get it through. Yes. 58. But it doesn't, it doesn't matter. It's thrown them
00:30:02.120
off the game, but it doesn't matter. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:30:12.500
Rebelnews.com. Very controversial up in Canada because Canada is a socialist country and they
00:30:21.480
don't really have, they don't have the rights that we have here. Uh, and, uh, and Rebel News is kind of
00:30:29.280
like the blaze, uh, the Canadian version of the blaze. I, I consider us sister organizations. Um,
00:30:37.240
and, uh, it's run by Ezra Levant and he is a brilliant, Ezra, you were a lawyer, right? By trade.
00:30:45.080
Yeah, I was, but, uh, I, I did a dabble in politics, but I think journalism, as they say,
00:30:52.160
is upstream from politics, culture is upstream from politics and politicians can only do what
00:30:59.420
they can do in the environment. And it, you know, we have to help shape that environment,
00:31:05.080
help people think things through. I don't think we're that radical. I mean, in the United States,
00:31:09.800
no, you're not called moderate conservative. Correct. I mean, we're, we're sympathetic to
00:31:14.760
Trump. We're skeptical of the Democrats, but look, we're Canadian. We've got that sensibility.
00:31:19.040
I was shocked. Glenn went out of the blue. I get this tip from Arkansas. That's pretty far away from
00:31:25.720
Canada. And it was the strangest thing. I almost didn't believe it. Uh, we, we follow the tip and
00:31:34.360
we discovered through freedom of information documents, the, the U S Navy, the United States
00:31:41.780
Navy had hired a defense contractor in little rock, Arkansas to work up what they call the
00:31:48.880
cyber forensic analysis of my little news company. Now I happen to love the U S Navy. I think it's a
00:31:56.500
great force for freedom. And I mean, I'm no expert, but I think it's the big threat is the Chinese
00:32:03.000
TLA Navy people's liberation. They got their fourth aircraft carrier. Now that, I mean, sure. The,
00:32:10.400
the U S Navy, you know, might have some problems with China, but we're talking rebel news.com.
00:32:17.340
I don't even have a canoe. My friend, like I am the least, I'm the least nautical person. I'm from a
00:32:23.280
landlocked place called Alberta. It's like, I'm from Nebraska. There's no boats where I'm right. I saw,
00:32:29.560
uh, uh, I saw the evidence. I saw the report for the U S Navy on you. And the paperwork is astonishing
00:32:39.400
because they don't have anything right. And they, they, they are truly painting you as a danger.
00:32:49.300
Yeah. And I didn't understand. Look, I've had no interactions in my life with the U S Navy. I've had,
00:32:55.940
I've never been to Arkansas, although I'd like to, it looks very pretty. So what are they doing
00:33:01.120
going after me? And it made me think, well, remember how the British intelligence sort of
00:33:05.560
did some of the heavy, heavy lifting against the Trump campaign. They, they did some spying in
00:33:11.460
those early days. And I thought, so I thought, well, maybe there's a Canadian angle. And sure enough,
00:33:17.320
this same defense contractor at the university of Arkansas in Little Rock sold the same dossier,
00:33:25.260
if I could use that word to the Canadian armed forces, special operations command. So again,
00:33:31.980
Canada has some challenges. I don't think we're a military challenge. I'm a Canadian citizen. We
00:33:37.520
follow the law. I mean, we're, we're, you know, we're conservative, but I think you're right. We
00:33:42.280
are sort of in the same part of the spectrum as a blaze. I don't even know if this is legal.
00:33:48.020
It's probably legal for the U S Navy to spy on me. Cause I'm not an American. Although it seems weird to
00:33:54.520
me that I'm their big enemy. I don't know if it's legal for Justin Trudeau to have his army
00:34:00.100
spy on me. That probably isn't right. But it makes me think, okay, I discovered this almost by
00:34:06.400
accident. I did some access to information requests and freedom of information requests.
00:34:11.620
I got some more. The university of Arkansas is defense contractor. They're stonewalling.
00:34:16.080
They don't want to, they don't want to show us how this whole thing started. They gave us a few
00:34:21.320
scraps, but I want to know who ordered this, what was their mission or their mandate? What was the
00:34:28.260
back of like, how did this even happen? That a Canadian news site became a target of the U S Navy. I,
00:34:35.160
like, I'm really, really curious how that was set in motion.
00:34:38.460
It doesn't make any sense at all. Uh, the two things I could, uh, I could think of is,
00:34:45.080
is, is the Canadian, uh, somebody in the Canadian military or Justin Trudeau's office or whatever,
00:34:53.440
are they getting favors done, uh, for them by our military and in exchange, are they investigating
00:35:03.640
people like us in Canada and, and can share the information here in the United States, but it's
00:35:12.600
not, it's disturbing because it is not even accurate information. Explain some of the inaccuracies
00:35:20.380
here. Cause it's pretty significant. Sure. And I mean, we all have heard the joke that's,
00:35:26.580
you know, what's an oxymoron jumbo shrimp, right, right, right. Military intelligence. I never liked
00:35:32.920
that joke about military intelligence. Cause I thought, no, military intelligence. Those are
00:35:37.640
the, those are the smart guys who, you know, crack the codes and counter terrorism. If this is the
00:35:44.500
state of U S military intelligence, you guys are in trouble because I mean, first of all, they say
00:35:50.760
we're a U S operation. No, we're not. We love America. We talk about America, but we're based up
00:35:56.280
here in Canada. They say that, you know, sometimes we have, uh, what, what are called a micro
00:36:02.580
sites or vanity sites. So for example, we have a civil liberties campaign. We talked about this
00:36:07.500
the other day called fight the fines.com. So if anyone gets a lockdown ticket, we crowdfund a
00:36:13.900
civil liberties lawyer. So we just, instead of me saying, Hey, go to rebel news.com slash fight
00:36:19.340
underscore the, like, instead of remembering, I just remember fight the fines.com. So we have a bunch
00:36:24.680
of these, I call them vanity sites, but they, they're just forwarding to different pages on our
00:36:29.840
website. So I don't have to remember a hundred different URLs. That's all they are. And it's
00:36:34.200
on every one. And you do, it's like when you come out with a news story, uh, and like this,
00:36:40.500
it's, you know, Canadians, uh, um, uh, U S Navy spies or whatever it would be. So it's easy for
00:36:48.540
people to find it. And it is, it would all be directing back to rebel, rebel news.com. It would
00:36:55.740
be part of that. Yeah. It's totally normal. Governments do it too, by the way. So for
00:37:01.040
example, in the story we're talking about, I took all the spy, uh, stuff we got and I
00:37:06.720
put it on a page and I gave it a nickname, really stop spying on us.com just so I can
00:37:12.760
remember it for radio interviews. So if you were to go to stop spying on us.com, it'll
00:37:18.300
actually forward you to a rebel news story about this case. And you can see all these
00:37:23.000
documents for yourself and you can make your own judgments. So what, and the reason I tell
00:37:27.540
you that is because this defense contractor said, no, no, no, by using a vanity URLs, uh,
00:37:36.700
these are deep fakes designed to deceive people. And, and the craziest thing is they said, one
00:37:45.160
of our goals is to get people to vote for Canada's socialist party. Uh, there's a guy named
00:37:51.380
Jagmeet Singh who runs our socialist party up here. We, we disagree with him strenuously.
00:37:57.140
I mean, he's a nice guy personally, but he's like, he is far left. He's like, um, Bernie
00:38:02.160
Sanders. Yeah, exactly. He's like the Bernie Sanders of Canada. The theory that the U S
00:38:07.700
Navy's defense contractor cooked up was at rebel news. And I've been conservative my whole
00:38:12.860
life since I was a boy, I've been right wing that my secret mission is to meddle in the
00:38:18.840
Canadian election to get people to vote socialist. And I'm just thinking, dude, have they ever
00:38:24.040
watched a single one of my, that would be like saying Glenn Beck's secret agenda is to
00:38:28.720
get Bernie Sanders into the white house. They've just, have you ever turned on the show? But
00:38:34.000
I was thinking, why would they write such kooky stuff? Why would they say we're American,
00:38:38.700
not Canadian? Why would they say that our vanity URLs, which is really a big nothing are
00:38:43.740
a deep fake. They use that word deep, but we don't want deep fakes. So those are those
00:38:48.360
forgery videos that look like Tom Cruise. I mean, they're spooky. We don't do that. I
00:38:53.000
don't know how to do that. We, that's not what we do. And why would they say we're trying
00:38:56.360
to meddle in, in the election to get the socialists elected? And I have a theory that they're trying
00:39:02.760
to say rebel news is like one of those Russian troll farms or something. So they can use some
00:39:08.280
national security rationale to sweep us off the internet, or even just to go to YouTube,
00:39:14.260
Google, Facebook, Twitter, and say, guys, you've got a Russian troll farm. They're meddling in the
00:39:19.580
election. They're deep fakes, American based. They're trying to interfere. You've got to shut
00:39:25.500
them down. So I think it wasn't actually real spying because it takes five minutes to know we're in
00:39:31.900
Canada. It takes five minutes to know we don't like the socialist candidate. I think they were trying
00:39:36.360
to cook up some dossier that they could use to get us knocked off the internet.
00:39:42.140
I don't find that a stretch of imagination. I don't know why this has happened. But I think
00:39:50.600
it's interesting that it happened in the United States and apparently commissioned by the US Navy.
00:39:55.760
That doesn't make any sense at all. You know, one of the things that one of our presidents
00:40:01.340
that I know, you know, Eisenhower spoke about in his farewell address was everybody, everybody
00:40:10.420
remembers in America that he was warning about the vast military industrial complex.
00:40:19.660
But what the warning was, it was not just about how these people are going to be now in bed with
00:40:25.400
government and huge dollars are going to be there. He also talked about research and science and
00:40:33.340
educational units, you know, our colleges. And he warned that when you have this kind of money at
00:40:40.860
stake, that people will come up with things not because they're curious, but because the government
00:40:48.260
wants it. And I'm wondering if this isn't a clear right way, I mean, military industrial complex kind of
00:41:00.660
action coming true is somebody wanting this information in Canada. And they're doing favors and we're doing
00:41:11.800
favors and they, they've hired a company that they know will give them the answer that they're looking for.
00:41:20.980
Yeah. And you make a good point that, you know, I found it odd that the University of Arkansas and
00:41:25.800
Little Rock was involved. I mean, aren't you supposed to be teaching kids? You know, what are you doing?
00:41:34.860
Yeah. And part of me thought, like I mentioned before, how they got so many facts so wrong and
00:41:42.040
they were so crazy in their language. These are deep fakes. And I thought to myself, maybe
00:41:49.040
they're just trying to create a demand for more studies that they get paid for. I have no idea
00:41:56.000
how much they were paid. If it was 10 grand or a hundred grand or who knows, I don't know.
00:42:00.200
Our tax dollars went to pay for it. Well, the U S Navy is a huge budget. I think it's
00:42:06.080
$161 billion. So there's a lot of, you know, a lot of money to be had building. Yeah. And so
00:42:13.680
this little defense contractor in, in Little Rock, and I've left them a message, by the way,
00:42:18.200
I've asked them some questions. I called up the spy master of the U S Navy because her phone number
00:42:23.360
is on one of these documents. I just left her a message and I sent her an email. And I mean,
00:42:28.160
listen, I just want to talk. And frankly, they can ask me questions. They can ask me
00:42:32.720
if I'm a Canadian, they can ask me if I'm trying to create a revolution or something. I like you
00:42:37.860
would think talk, if you're spying on a guy and he wants to talk to you, talk to him. No, they they're
00:42:42.660
hiding from me. I think that there's a chance that this is just a money-making, uh, self-perpetuating,
00:42:49.340
you know, empire building thing. And, and maybe the admirals don't quite know what deep fakes are
00:42:57.860
and what vanity URLs are. And so if you use lots of scary words, admirals who may be, you know,
00:43:04.760
the most they do on the internet is look at photos of their grandkids on Facebook. Maybe they're
00:43:09.920
bamboozling. I'm just guessing here and, and scaring them so that the money keeps flowing. It's just a
00:43:16.900
theory because I mean, I see three theories. One is we're conservative. So smash us. That's a
00:43:22.540
theory. One is it's a favor for the Canadian government because maybe if the U S government
00:43:27.800
spies on us, it's not illegal. Whereas if the Canadian government spied on their own citizens,
00:43:32.400
it is, but there's also that military industrial complex, just self-perpetuating, you know, busy work,
00:43:39.040
um, build up a budget. None. If I was the Chinese Navy, I would be laughing so hard at this.
00:43:46.340
They're building their fourth aircraft carrier. They're going deeper and deeper into the blue
00:43:51.280
sea. I am scared of the Chinese Navy. That's not me being dramatic. That is the rising military
00:43:57.760
power. And I would just wish the U S Navy, which I admire would stop focusing on my little website.
00:44:04.480
I would focus on the bad guy. I will, um, I'll, I'll have our producers look into this as well.
00:44:10.360
Have you called the university of Arkansas little rock? Yeah. Well, I mean, I, I actually hired a lawyer
00:44:16.120
because you need some standing in Arkansas to do a freedom of information request. And I'm not an art,
00:44:22.260
I'm not from Arkansas. So we, we hired a local law firm and they've gone back and forth about 10 times
00:44:28.940
and the university of Arkansas is stonewalling. And I think they don't want to hand over the defense
00:44:35.240
contract. They don't want to show who commissioned this. We have some of the, the, uh, emails back and
00:44:43.280
forth from, uh, the university of, uh, Arkansas, little rock, uh, somebody neat. Is it Nitton?
00:44:52.260
Nitton? Yeah. Nitton Agrawal. He's, he's the boss of this little defense contractor with their,
00:44:58.000
their staff of the university. And they take defense contracts, which is exactly what Eisenhower talked
00:45:04.040
about. And, and basically he took a contract from the U S Navy on us. And then he seems to have sold
00:45:10.920
the same work a second time to the Canadian government. I've put in access to information
00:45:16.240
requests in about six different places. I think we're going to have to go to court in Arkansas
00:45:20.880
because they don't want to give it up. Well, I, I wonder if we can, if we can help you because this
00:45:26.320
