The crisis in the Middle East deepens as the death toll in Gaza continues to rise, and the Canadian government continues to do nothing to stop it. Meanwhile, we're back in Toronto with a live commentary from Ian Hennemansin and Chantel Herbert, two people who know nothing about it.
00:00:00.000All right. It's been requested many, many times to bring back the worst of the CBC. And now, why Claypool is in town to help us cover the protest tomorrow and Saturday. But right now, you're going to watch both of us lose our goddamn minds as we live watch last night's The National, CBC The National, and give live commentary on just how bad the CBC is.
00:00:23.240This is, for those who don't know, the CBC is Canada's national broadcaster. So we pay $1.4 billion in taxes to keep this abomination running.
00:00:31.700Hey, hey, hey. They still get $300 million in ad revenue.
00:00:35.280Oh, yes. What a functioning, thriving business this is. And they come in and they, well, you're going to see what they do. So we're going to play it and we'll give you live commentary as we go now to Ian Hennemansin.
00:01:29.440Oh, God. Chantel Herbert and Rosemary Barden.
00:01:39.640Oh, we couldn't, we couldn't, we couldn't talk about a major international issue without having two people who know nothing about it commentating.
00:01:50.800Oh, I think we might get some climate propaganda. That's, this is going to be a good one, guys.
00:01:55.160These, every single time we've done this together, I think we've done three of these, they've just had random climate stories.
00:02:10.400So already they're pushing the Hamas narrative, tiny, densely populated. There's 2 million people in Gaza. That sounds like a lot, but there's 3 million people in Toronto.
00:02:17.780And the thing is, it's not just Gaza City. Everyone pretends like it's just a city. There's still outside areas.
00:02:22.520There's still rural areas here. It'd be like if it's Calgary, plus, you know, 10, 10 kilometers on either side.
00:02:41.820Yeah, I mean, we spent the day about 5 kilometers from the border with Gaza, where you can see and feel, hear that bombardment constantly. And just a warning, some of these visuals are quite graphic.
00:02:57.960I don't know why they say that about buildings being taken.
00:03:04.820Also, wait, wait, wait. Isn't it telling, though, that the reporters in Jerusalem reporting on Gaza, because, not because it's dangerous in Gaza, they can find them safe areas. It's because he'd probably get killed in Gaza.
00:03:19.460And children talk in the quickly, spiraling war. There are now so many bodies in Gaza, they're running out of places to bury them.
00:03:29.460There's no room in semitates, he said. The graves are dug randomly near housing.
00:03:34.740Well, there's a kid smiling beside this guy giving commentary, by the way. There's a lot of smiling kids in this thing, which, that was interesting. Just smiling kids while he's talking about how terrible it is.
00:03:49.960I'm sorry, but also they're talking about, like, these are horrific images.
00:03:52.320So, at least they mentioned the hostages, but they didn't mention Canadian hostages. Interesting. Interesting.
00:03:58.280Today, fresh images of another community, Khalid, where Israel says Hamas militants ramped, destroyed…
00:04:07.740Also, notice they said, it's because Israel said there was a horrific massacre, or did the journalists show up on the ground and there was just bodies there and blood everywhere.
00:04:18.760I'm pretty sure they didn't flipping fake it. Just, oh, good one.
00:04:21.980And again, they're calling them militants, not terrorists. The Canadian government has Hamas listed as a terrorist organization.
00:04:27.360This is the Canadian government channel, who, if you're not following, they put in a directive saying you're not allowed to call them terrorists.
00:04:35.100They said people have different definitions of what a terrorist is, and it's too political to call it a terrorist.
00:04:40.660You know, killing women and children might be actually freedom fighter stuff. I don't know about you. That's freedom fighter crap in my book, is killing random people.
00:04:50.120The Israeli army is now increasingly angry that their country could be caught so off guard.
00:05:00.800Today, an acknowledgement of the military.
00:05:04.220The Israeli army said that chief of staff did not meet its responsibility for security.
00:05:11.820We will learn, he said, and investigators, but now it is time for war.
00:05:18.160On that, the expectation still, a ground assault will soon follow.
00:05:23.400Meanwhile, the Israeli army today took a handful of journalists to one of the places in southern Israel where the Hamas attacks began,
00:05:31.540just a handful of kilometers from Gaza, the site of that music festival.
00:05:36.300CDC News was among those allowed in today to walk among the wreckage left in place and to consider the near unimaginable.
00:05:47.200I'm going to guess, too, if the Israeli military didn't make, not make them, but didn't specifically say,
00:05:52.940hey, come and see the killing fields with us, they wouldn't have done it.
00:05:56.080They would have just reported with, like, B-roll from other people and not actually experienced it.
00:06:00.100Well, they did the smart thing of saying only a select few, so then the journalists wanted to go because there was some limited capability.
00:06:07.060This is a clever way of tricking the CBC into doing their job.
00:06:09.920What is extra slightly when you are here is the scale.
00:06:15.720It just, it goes on and on and on and on.
00:11:45.360It would take you in a day to walk across Gaza.
00:11:47.500This, like, this is again, the propaganda where they're pretending that Gaza City is all of Gaza and they're putting all of Gaza's population into, you know, the landmass of Gaza City when that's not true.
00:11:57.800Like, again, there are rural areas in Gaza.
00:11:59.480It's like saying like, well, Calgary has 1.3 million people living in this area and they only show like the metro area.
00:13:02.080Because they are the ones providing them water and electricity, despite all the terrorist attacks.
00:13:07.720And the whole point is that, like, Hamas, the government in Gaza, not just a group that happens to be in Gaza.
00:13:13.840The government of Gaza used all the water piping given to them by Germany and other aid groups that they could have used to pump their own water and get their own water.
00:13:22.800They could invest all the money they have into desalinization plants and other things.
00:13:26.340The Israelis have offered them desalination tax.
00:13:33.780Because they knew they could because the Israelis would always give them water and energy to avoid being criticized in the international community.
00:13:39.020And then the war started, a war, and you're not getting free.
00:14:03.620You know, the other thing, too, is there's literally an interview of a Hamas official on RT, Russia Today, where they just admit that they don't actually help their own people.
00:14:11.520And they they just and they and that the Israelis are foolish enough to think that they were spending their money on anything but weapons.
00:14:18.520So the U.N. they're taking to the U.N. now, remember, the U.N. in in in Gaza, the U.N. schools have been used as weapons stockpiling sites.
00:15:00.580We only give free money to Hamas through the United Nations and through charities.
00:15:07.180And again, like those under schools, the reason why they're so bad is because they literally allow the Palestinian Authority, Fatah, to do all the teaching.
00:15:15.760It's not like the U.N. teachers are coming in with a U.N. curriculum, which wouldn't be good on its face.
00:15:53.880Many Palestinians are Muslim Brotherhood.
00:15:55.360Sisi had to fight off Mohamed Morsi, who was going to Islamize and be a Muslim Brotherhood country.
00:16:02.560So Sisi's main rival internally is the Muslim Brotherhood, and he does not want to import hundreds of thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters who would be fanatical to his country because it would destabilize Egypt.
00:16:14.540So that's something no one ever talks about as well as, like, why doesn't any Arab country?
00:16:18.800I mean, Qatar, how many refugees are you going to take here?
00:17:01.180There are reporters in Canada who will go up to Pierre Polyev and say, you're dog-whistling to the far right.
00:17:06.780They're not even just saying some people say.
00:17:08.520They will eventually jump to the some people say when he says who's claiming this.
00:17:12.400But, like, as soon as it's, like, literally Hamas coming in and murdering people and live-streaming it, it's like, well, Israel says they killed them.
00:20:43.680To know anything about the conflict, a lot of the areas in the different cities and towns are administered by different militias or tribal families.
00:20:51.240They have a significant amount of power in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank.
00:20:56.420If there is enough infighting caused by an effective siege where you have the militant wings turning on the terrorists,
00:21:08.660then you could see an end to the siege.
00:21:11.020You could see a situation in which some sort of leadership could emerge that could have some sort of tentative peace with Israel,
00:21:18.020and Palestinians could have some sort of self-sufficiency.
00:21:20.340That is the best long-term scenario for everyone.
00:21:24.960So when lefties and media experts and people just want to bemoan how evil it is and show their virtue and do this and undermine the siege effort,
00:21:37.080you're going to get a longer, more brutal war.
00:21:43.300And that's a hard thing to do because it requires some thinking.
00:21:46.900It requires some knowledge of history.
00:21:48.360It requires some, you know, cause and effect thoughts.
00:21:52.440And I get that's difficult if you're on, you know, the alt-right telegram channels or if you have a master's degree in a foreign policy from a Canadian university.
00:22:00.220But these are things you need to think of.
00:22:02.580For those who are on board, it's emotions.
00:22:05.720Police are getting to safety, but concerns are those left behind.
00:22:10.000Ah, now to a story of Canadian incompetence.
00:22:11.900We can't have the CBC without ineffectively covering for the Liberals' ineffectiveness.
00:22:15.780This couple is still absorbing the shock.
00:22:20.180I honestly think of it as like a horror film.
00:22:23.000You know, I don't think of this as real life.
00:22:24.720The first time I heard one of the thirens, I was in shock and didn't really understand what was going on.
00:22:29.500For hundreds of Canadians trying to leave, this is a welcome sight.
00:27:14.960You could have been snappy and been...
00:27:16.800But, like, the thing is that they do these setups where they show the journals looking at their laptop, talking to someone who really only has, like, maybe 10 seconds of, like, content.
00:27:24.360But this is what $1.3 billion a year pays for.
00:41:43.240They don't want to, they don't want the Canadian public to know what the NDP thinks about terrorism.
00:41:48.240Well, you could also say that over the past decade, the NDP has already made its state stances extremely well known and they're extremely pro Hamas at this point.
00:44:47.240They take five minutes to make a point that that if said simply and concisely could be understood by the general public within 30 seconds.
00:44:54.240This is what they they convoluted and put it at five things to confuse the average person so they can maintain this this air of intelligence and expertise.
00:45:01.240People think it's sophisticated. It's just being they razzle dazzle.
00:45:05.240They razzle dazzle stupid lefties into not understanding what they're saying.
00:45:10.240And then they gain their trust because they're saying vaguely what they think.
00:45:14.240So then they're like, oh, these people are smarter than me.
00:45:16.240And therefore, if they're smarter than me, they must be right because they have the same opinions.
