In this episode, Wyatt talks about the Crown Prosecution of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber for their part in the so-called "Mass Mischief" in the courtroom, as well as some recent headlines about judges and how they treat violent offenders.
00:05:35.580This one isn't about exactly a criminal, but it's still ridiculous that this person is on the court.
00:05:42.340Judge halts non-binary persons deportation to the U.S. as Trump dismantles trans rights.
00:05:49.560Advocates say ruling could set an important precedent for 2SLGBTQ plus immigrants and refugees.
00:05:55.280This person, who has violated the law, is here overstaying a visitation visa, is allowed to just stay because apparently they are terrified to go back to their home in Minnesota, run by Democratic Governor Tim Walz, because something might happen.
00:06:15.280I believe this person is a woman who identifies as non-binary and then they take testosterone.
00:06:19.880What are they scared of happening if they go back to their democratic state where they probably live in a very democratic city?
00:06:42.520Man accused of Stanley Park assault was granted bail hours earlier on separate charges.
00:06:51.260A man accused of attacking a woman on the seawall in April has been released on bail just hours earlier for unrelated criminal charges, court records reveal.
00:07:00.500So we have people committing a violent crime, assault on a woman, being charged, being let out of prison, committing another crime, and then being let on bail for that too.
00:07:12.980That seems like somebody who's not going to be reliable in terms of them showing up for their actual criminal trial for the first case, considering they can't stop committing crimes.
00:07:23.320The thing is, the whole idea of bail is that you should be in prison until you get sentenced, until the trial happens.
00:07:31.520In modern day, you can't really lock somebody up and force them to await trial for what could be months.
00:07:38.140And so what people do is they're usually supposed to put up some collateral.
00:07:42.140I will pay you a certain portion of the bail.
00:07:48.720It's always like it's 100,000 bail or it's, you know, 50,000 bail, but you only really have to give them 500 bucks and they will charge you back the rest if you violate your bail by committing another crime and they'll take $50,000 from you.
00:08:00.820But you usually do that to demonstrate you have a stake in the game in coming back in order to actually face the trial because you think you're actually, you know, innocent and you want to prove it.
00:08:11.260Or at least you're going to play by the rules to not get damaged even more.
00:08:16.020Letting a violent offender just out until the trial is insane because they've already proven they are potentially capable of violence.
00:08:24.380Not quite proven until we have the trial, but they are potentially capable of violence.
00:08:30.420And if they commit another offense, well, you know, probably shouldn't be giving them a third chance.
00:08:37.700But for some reason, we do that all the time in this country.
00:08:40.160And in order to actually hold someone in prison because of the bail reform policies passed by Justin Trudeau's liberal government and still enforced by Mark Carney's, prosecutors, who oftentimes can be part of the problem, and unless a good prosecutor wants to bend over backwards, showing all the reasons why someone should not be released, they'll just be released.
00:09:02.380And even if you do all the work to show that someone shouldn't be released, a judge can still disagree and release them anyways.
00:09:07.760So prosecutors don't even bother because so many of these judges are so left-wing that even if you show that this guy has assaulted children, he's a murderer, or he's like he's attempted murder before, he shouldn't be released.
00:09:22.280A judge can just say, I think our prison system is really mean to the incarcerated.
00:09:27.520The incarcerated is a term I see a lot from criminal advocates.
00:09:32.520The prison system is hard on incarcerated people, so we're not going to lock them up.
00:09:37.200So what's the point of even trying if you are one of the good prosecutors?
00:09:41.220Who is it calling for seven-year sentences for people for the great crime of mischief, for having trucks parked on a completely empty street because you weren't even barely allowed to leave your house at this point?
00:10:05.320Indian origin students sentenced to three years in jail in Canada for hit and run could face deportation.
00:10:12.120These two killed somebody in a hit and run, and they are only going to be given three years in prison, three years for murdering somebody, and then the byline, hopefully they weren't like acting concerned about it, they could face deportation.
00:10:30.040These murderers, maybe it's third degree, maybe it's just manslaughter, but these people who killed somebody are going to be potentially deported after serving their three-year sentence, probably out on one for good behavior.
00:10:56.060I think you should do what's right because it's right.
00:10:58.580Obviously, you don't set yourself up for failure for no reason by sounding off on everything all the time to the point where it's hard to actually figure out what your ideological through line is or what your main message is.
00:11:10.040But this is a big one that conservatives should be using a lot of their bandwidth to promote.
00:11:15.220The idea that judges are letting murderers, they're letting rapists, they're letting all these crazy people out onto the streets without actually being criminally convicted or with very light criminal convictions and light sentences.
00:11:29.480We should be trying to actually roll back a lot of this by appointing better judges, by finding ways of removing judges that have proven themselves to be incompetent in upholding the law, people who are not interested in upholding the law.
00:11:42.820We should be locking up criminals and not having our grocery stores, our convenience stores, having to lock up tubes of toothpaste.
00:11:50.540That sounds like a good idea to me, not having to lock up razor blades and other basic items because people are going to steal them because the people who do steal them, if they get caught, are going to be released five seconds later and they're just going to do it again.
00:12:03.320One of the big surges in crime across Canada has been in the area of retail theft.
00:12:08.700It's been violent offenses and retail theft.
00:12:13.060And now I want to cut back to Pierre Polyev because he has been highlighting this recently and it's good for him to be talking about because this is absolutely insane how much crime is up and nobody really talks about it in the mainstream media or at least they don't talk about it properly.
00:12:26.340And so, and even he was talking about another one of these cases recently that I didn't even talk about yet.
00:12:32.780Polyev here says, another violent attack from someone who was out on bail for serious offenses, repeal liberal catch and release laws to bring Sandy back to our justice system and safety to our streets.
00:12:44.580And it's Brampton Man, 20 charge in London, Ontario pot shop shooting was on bail.
00:12:49.380And even then I would say Polyev probably needs to highlight, we need better judges.
00:12:55.040We need judges who actually have the ability to use their own judgment to prevent violent offenders, to prevent repeat offenders from getting it back out and doing it again.
00:13:06.680I think retail thieves after your third or fourth offense should just be locked up for five years or three years.
00:13:12.400Make it debilitating the amount of time they get locked up because then they will stop doing it.
00:13:34.680It's a very weak correlation oftentimes.
00:13:37.160The big thing that causes crime is weak family structures or educational attainment.
00:13:42.560And the biggest one is not enforcing the law.
00:13:44.820If you don't enforce the law, people are going to start gaming the system that allows them to be, like, let out onto the streets right after being caught.
00:14:48.800It is the premier's office or the prime minister's office who is determining who is going to be appointed as a judge.
00:14:55.460Technically, it's the attorney general.
00:14:56.840But the attorney generals serve the leader.
00:15:00.220And so, if we are going to appoint judges this way in this country, we should be appointing people who maybe aren't conservative.
00:15:07.180But when they see a violent criminal who is not remorseful, they are going to absolutely throw the book at them and get as high a sentence as humanly possible placed onto them.
00:15:45.980We weren't really supposed to remember who the leaders were because it was just a bunch of people showing up.
00:15:49.660But it's kind of a quirk of like the JCCF and other groups showing up and they wanted to have figureheads to talk about.
00:15:57.040And it was just the quirk of how everything worked that Tamara Lich and Chris Barber had access to the biggest social media profiles for the Freedom Convoy.
00:16:06.700They had access to them, even if oftentimes they didn't even start them.
00:16:10.520And they end up becoming like the figureheads.
00:16:12.760And now they're being charged as leaders.
