00:00:00.000 By the way, today is June 24th, which is the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, which is Quebec,
00:00:08.800 you know, the Quebec Independence Day, so to speak. And then July 1st is Canada Day.
00:00:16.620 So today, people are off. And so we're just hanging around, trying to deal with all of the
00:00:23.200 issues relating to our upcoming move. As is always the case, whenever one story ends,
00:00:31.040 the other one begins, and so we're off to our next adventure. But of course, it is bittersweet.
00:00:37.060 Montreal has been our home since the 1970s, notwithstanding that we left, certainly I left
00:00:45.740 to the United States to study, and then I held some visiting professorships in the U.S.
00:00:49.940 but much of my time over the past 50 years has been in Canada and so to the extent that
00:00:55.580 this part of our adventure and our history might be coming to an end it's always sad
00:01:01.020 but so anyway today I just wanted to talk about a bunch of things many of you know that I
00:01:05.580 a while ago I started the things that are pissing me off series and there are a lot of things that
00:01:12.160 are pissing me off. All right, let's discuss a few. Let's begin with arguably the most
00:01:20.140 important one, and that's called the Lionel Messi things that are pissing me off. As you
00:01:27.780 know, I'm arguably the biggest Lionel Messi fan for many reasons. If anybody knows soccer,
00:01:36.440 they can use this thing called their eyes to watch what this guy's done for now about 22 years
00:01:44.760 started around well 2005 let's say he began the world cup in 2006 so for 20 years he's played at
00:01:53.520 a level each year that is greater than the level that the second best all-time player has played
00:02:00.180 for any given month the stats are clear the every imaginable thing is clear now why am i pissed
00:02:07.940 well i'm pissed because the leonel story the leonel messi story as relating to his haters
00:02:17.060 says something really quite profound about the human condition many of you remember that i've
00:02:24.180 I've often referred to this anecdote, namely that I was on a show by a British psychiatrist a few
00:02:32.020 years ago, where at the end of the show, he said, Professor Saad, you've been a professor for three
00:02:37.720 decades. You've been a behavioral scientist for all those years. So you've studied many things
00:02:43.340 about the human condition. What is the singular phenomenon that has most surprised you? And I've
00:02:48.200 never been asked this question until then, and I haven't been asked that question since. So I had
00:02:53.520 to pause for a moment to think about it. And then I retorted the inability to people to change their
00:03:00.180 minds once their positions are fully anchored. Now, you can see where I'm going with this with
00:03:06.880 Lionel Messi. Those who say that Lionel Messi is not the greatest soccer player ever, there is no
00:03:15.780 amount of evidence that you could ever show them that would make them say, you know what, yeah,
00:03:21.400 I now get it. So let's kind of go back and demonstrate that phenomenon throughout his
00:03:26.740 career. When he had already, look, most coaches and most great soccer players were already saying
00:03:34.680 that Lionel Messi was the greatest soccer player of all time by the time he was 21 and 22.
00:03:41.900 Just go and look at the Arsene Wenger clip. But I mean, literally, pretty much almost to the last
00:03:48.360 one, any single top player who's ever existed that's considered an all-time great, any coach,
00:03:56.480 it's invariably that they'll say Lionel Messi. But now again, I'm not saying this because I'm
00:04:01.180 just fanboying Lionel Messi, because it's a perfect demonstration of how you can't get people
00:04:06.860 to alter their opinions once it is anchored. So people said, well, sure, he may be a great
00:04:17.960 player, but at club level, if he's never won with the national team. Now, he had already won the
00:04:26.220 Under-20 World Cup. He had already won the Olympics in 2008, but he had lost in four finals.
00:04:36.700 And because of that, you might remember he decided in 2016 to retire from the national team because
00:04:43.980 he just couldn't take all of the abuse that he was getting. And people said he could never be
00:04:48.380 the best of all time when you have other players that are in that discussion who have won a title
00:04:55.780 with their national team. Until he wins with the national team, he cannot be considered the best
00:05:02.920 player of all time. Which, by the way, itself is a completely fallacious argument. Because
00:05:08.340 the best player in the world is the best player in the world, irrespective of what happens to,
00:05:15.200 let's say he was born in Liberia. And he clearly, by looking at him, you could see that he's the
00:05:21.500 most talented player that's ever lived. Well, Liberia is probably not going to win a national
00:05:25.580 title. That wouldn't take away from the fact that he would be the greatest soccer player. But okay,
00:05:29.960 let's play along. So then in 2021, they won the Copa America, which by the way, Diego Maradona
00:05:37.740 had never been able to win, was never able to win.
00:05:41.120 So now he had removed the stench of not having won a title.
00:05:47.840 He was South American champion and he had won.
00:05:51.340 So the people who said he could never be considered
00:05:53.860 the best player of all time
00:05:55.220 until he wins an international tournament
00:05:58.060 with his national team, well, now he did.
00:06:00.900 Then they said, well, but that's not enough
00:06:03.020 because there are other all-time greats.
00:06:06.240 Zidane has won the World Cup.
00:06:07.700 Maradona has won the World Cup.
00:06:09.100 Pele has won the World Cup, although Cruyff hasn't won the World Cup.
00:06:12.860 Well, they've won the World Cup.
00:06:14.120 He can't be great.
00:06:14.880 Then he won the Finilissima, which is the tournament pitting the South American champion to the European champion.
00:06:24.260 And in that case, it was Argentina versus Italy.
00:06:27.240 They won 3-0.
00:06:29.160 He did a master class.
00:06:31.600 So now he had two international titles.
00:06:33.280 They said, yeah, it doesn't matter.
00:06:34.680 he he he's never going to win the world cup when he the next world cup comes around he's 35 forget
00:06:41.540 it well 2022 comes around he wins the world cup he wins the best player of the world cup only player
00:06:51.160 to win the best player in two world cups so now he had won the coppa america he had won the finilissima
00:06:58.220 he had won the World Cup. So now you could no longer use that argument. But then just to kind
00:07:04.820 of put the mark, he won another Copa America, right? He won the latest Copa America that
00:07:13.260 happened in 2024. He won it again. So now he had four international titles, including winning the
00:07:23.320 World Cup. But apparently people said, yeah, okay, so what? But, you know, I'm still not convinced,
00:07:29.640 you know, Maradona, he was more romantic. If you look at the stats, I mean, it literally is like
00:07:35.700 comparing, you know, Charles Darwin to occasional Cortex AOC in terms of who's intelligent,
00:07:42.520 who's more intelligent. It's just astounding. They don't even exist within the same plane of
00:07:48.600 reality. But no, no, no, but there's something unique about Maradona. He was a man of the people.
00:07:55.140 He was a Che Guevara supporter. He slept with prostitutes and snorted cocaine off their asses. 1.00
00:08:03.300 So he's more of a romantic figure. Messi is very, very boring. He's a humble guy. He's so boring 1.00
00:08:10.420 and so on. Well, even greater than Messi's playing career is how he lives his life.
00:08:18.600 the most astoundingly humble. If there is a human being that has every reason on earth to be the
00:08:25.800 most arrogant guy in the world, it would be Lionel Messi, yet you'd think he's your local plumber,
00:08:32.000 the way he walks around, the way he's kind to everybody, and so on. Okay. Family man, been with
00:08:39.340 the same girl, childhood sweetheart, three kids, never a scandal, always says the right thing. It's
00:08:46.120 never about him i mean okay but then still so now then this world cup starts 39 i was and here
00:08:54.420 i'm going to show you how i don't succumb to you can't change my mind because i told my son before
00:09:01.120 the world cup started i don't know why messi is playing in this world cup i don't understand why
00:09:06.540 he's doing it there's only a downside there is no upside he's already won the world cup in the
00:09:11.920 most magical and you know extraordinary way anything that happens now short of him winning
00:09:17.560 it again is going to be a deflationary thing it's going to be a small tint you know a small smudge
00:09:26.040 on his legacy he shouldn't be playing well boy was I wrong he plays the first game against Algeria
00:09:33.060 he scores three goals he's 39 you're like how the hell is this possible so then I said you know
00:09:40.020 what? Had Messi not had the competitive edge that he has, he would have been satisfied. But he said,
00:09:47.780 hey, I'm not done playing. So that night, which was watched by undoubtedly billions of people,
00:09:54.240 that night that goes down in the collective memory of every football fan would not have happened had
00:10:00.680 Messi not said, you know what? I'm not done. And may he go on forever. Okay. So now he gets three
00:10:06.940 goals. Then he plays the next game and you say, he can't do any more. What more can he do? He
00:10:13.060 misses a penalty shot. Now that could deflate anybody, even the greatest of players. He says,
00:10:18.620 oh, don't worry. Hold my beer. Here, I'm going to score a gorgeous goal. Oh, wait a minute. I'm
00:10:23.840 going to score a second goal in extra time, you know, in added time. So now they've scored five
00:10:28.920 goals and all five goals have been scored by Messi. He becomes the all-time leading scorer,
00:10:36.780 but Ronaldo scores two goals against Uzbekistan. 0.98
00:10:41.820 Uzbekistan is a team that I beat
00:10:44.440 with my under 11-year-old team with my son.
00:10:49.240 They beat Uzbekistan.
00:10:51.000 But now Ronaldo is back in the discussion
00:10:55.460 because he scored two goals against Uzbekistan.
00:10:59.100 Now, why am I again saying this?
00:11:01.260 Because imagine at this point that the quote evidence that Ronaldo scored two goals against Uzbekistan
00:11:10.880 re-catapults him into the discussion of GOAT.
00:11:17.580 That's the problem with the architecture of the human mind.
00:11:20.960 Once it is set that I hold position A, regrettably for most people,
00:11:28.680 no amount of evidence is going to convince you otherwise.
00:11:31.340 So if you are a Ronaldo fan, there is nothing.
00:11:36.980 Messi could literally win this next World Cup.
00:11:39.520 It wouldn't matter.
00:11:40.700 Because actually they will argue that the fact that Ronaldo did not bother
00:11:45.720 and care about winning a World Cup proves that he's the GOAT.
00:11:49.660 So anyway, so that's number one.
00:11:50.800 Number two that I want to say about the Messi thing,
00:11:52.740 and then I'll move on to other things that are pissing me off.
00:11:54.540 you know i live my life if i can speak of myself in a very pure way everything that i do stems
00:12:02.360 from the reflex to always do not just the right thing the infinitely right thing i i take all the
00:12:09.500 positions that i take because i care about truth because i care about freedom everything and
00:12:14.840 my entire life is animated by those ideals so for example when i criticize islam it's because 0.98
00:12:21.820 I recognize that there are features of Islam that are so problematic to the West that it wouldn't 0.99
00:12:27.800 end well if Islam were to establish itself firmly in the West. Any intelligent person can recognize 1.00
00:12:36.160 that. And yet I get astounding hate. And sometimes I'll turn to my wife, I say, imagine all of these
00:12:41.720 people. I mean, 99% of people love my stuff, but the 1% of a big number is still a big number.
00:12:47.380 I'm thinking, imagine that some random person just wrote this to me.
00:12:51.940 Like, imagine the visceral, astounding hate that I'm facing when all I'm trying to do is make sure that his children and mine live in a free world that they take for granted.
00:13:05.380 But I'm here to tell them, beware, don't take it for granted.
00:13:08.740 You might lose those freedoms.
00:13:11.360 Now, why am I saying all this is relating to Messi?
00:13:13.640 At least I can understand why someone might hate me, because if I say something that is critical of trans ideology, then someone who is wedded to the trans ideology might say, I hate you, God.
00:13:27.340 If I say, here is why Israel should exist, if you love Hamas, you might say, well, I hate you, God. 0.53
00:13:33.080 if you are a, you know, very much wedded to your, you know, Islamic supremacy, and I come along and 0.95
00:13:40.680 say, well, there are features of Islam that are problematic. I hate you, God. So even though 1.00
00:13:46.440 it's always regrettable to see people spew such hate at me, and if only they met me, they'd see,
00:13:53.720 you know, what a nice guy I am. Imagine that you have visceral hate towards Messi. Messi doesn't
00:14:02.420 comment on politics. Messi doesn't comment on contentious issue, on practice issues, on
00:14:08.680 corrosive and poisonous issues. He just creates art on a soccer field. The true universal religion
00:14:16.380 of the world is not Judaism, it's not Islam, it's not Christianity, it's not any of the 10,000 0.52
00:14:23.160 religion. The true religion that unifies people, hopefully, is the religion of soccer. And
00:14:32.640 Messi is the infallible god of soccer. And you would think that that's one place that everyone
00:14:40.200 could be united. I mean, Brazilians have come to me and said, you know what, even in Brazil,
00:14:46.020 I mean, this is the mortal enemy of Argentina. Even in Brazil, everybody reveres Messi.
00:14:53.160 And yet, he receives astounding hate.
00:14:56.120 So much so, I mean, even from Argentinians,
00:14:59.380 that if you remember, that's what led him. 0.99
00:15:01.520 He was so hurt that he retired in 2016.
00:15:03.500 So if Messi can be the recipient of hate,
00:15:08.180 then none of us are safe.
00:15:10.220 So that's my story of Messi.
00:15:12.660 Let me now move on next to what happened,
00:15:17.140 the Montreal attack.
00:15:18.340 I'm making a big segue here from soccer
00:15:21.360 to terrorism. A few days ago, as you know, there was an individual who came from Alberta. He had
00:15:28.460 a manifesto that he wrote about why he's about to do what he did. He went to a predominantly Jewish
00:15:34.200 area, and then one gentleman ended up getting killed. I think it's now established that it was 0.98
00:15:41.420 a cop who killed him, a female cop, but apparently that's still being investigated.
00:15:46.400 and then the shooter himself was killed and an innocent man was killed.
00:15:52.380 Well, to my abject horror, yesterday I found out that that man who was killed,
00:15:59.200 the innocent, my standard, is actually someone that I know,
00:16:03.000 someone that I've interacted with many times at the local cafe.
00:16:07.040 So it's really, it is almost surreal.
00:16:09.100 Obviously, even if I didn't know the man, it would be tragic that he died.
00:16:12.780 But the fact that I knew him kind of brings it home a lot more.
00:16:16.900 This is a guy that I've talked to.
00:16:18.620 He was a suit maker.
00:16:20.020 He was a fan of my work.
00:16:22.000 He's Lebanese, actually.
00:16:23.260 He's Lebanese Jewish, so we would speak in Arabic.
00:16:26.580 He was telling me, oh, you should drop by my place
00:16:31.360 and we'll set you up with some suits and so on.
00:16:33.820 And I'm thinking, this guy just disappeared. 0.86
00:16:36.860 He disappeared because some Alberta guy thought that the best possible option in his life's trajectory is to go to Montreal and kill some people there.
00:16:49.020 Now, so number one, a tragedy on a personal level, because I knew the gentleman.
00:16:54.300 In Arabic, we say, Allah yirhamo, may God sort of forgive him and redeem him or something.
00:17:00.180 The translation is not exact.
00:17:01.960 But anyway, so Allah yirhamu as a sign of respect for this gentleman.
00:17:09.220 But then I want to talk about how people reacted.
00:17:11.360 We were talking a few minutes ago about hate.
00:17:13.400 There are some Canadians, I mean, like native Canadians,
00:17:17.340 I don't mean indigenous, but like white, progressive, liberal Canadians,
00:17:20.880 who sent me some of the most astounding hate.
00:17:24.480 Like it'd be difficult to imagine. 1.00
00:17:26.300 You piece of shit. 1.00
00:17:28.040 We're so glad you're leaving Canada. 1.00
00:17:29.980 you hateful piece of garbage, right? Wow, that's a nice way to send me off. 1.00
00:17:36.960 And the reason is because they explained to me and to the world that the guy who came to that 0.88
00:17:45.160 Jewish neighborhood to kill, first of all, he wasn't Muslim. Well, I never said that he was 0.94
00:17:50.720 Muslim. Go to my social media and tell me if you see anywhere where I said that the shooter was
00:17:59.280 Muslim, right? I referenced the fact that Montreal has some very ugly realities, and here's yet 1.00
00:18:07.980 another manifestation that happened. It undoubtedly was not a coincidence that it was in a heavily
00:18:15.980 Jewish neighborhood. But so number one, what those super liberal, white, progressive Canadians,
00:18:23.260 where I've spent 30 plus years trying to warn Canada
00:18:27.460 of what's coming down the road for Canada,
00:18:31.520 thought that the real problem in that story 1.00
00:18:34.560 was the piece of shit Jew, meaning me, 1.00
00:18:38.960 who has been harboring such hate in the dialogue of Canada 1.00
00:18:44.520 that they were so happy that I was leaving Canada. 1.00
00:18:49.540 And so number one, the reason why they knew I was a piece of shit 1.00
00:18:53.060 is because, well, the killer wasn't Muslim. 1.00
00:18:57.000 As I said, I never said that he was. 0.99
00:18:59.080 But imagine thinking that that's an own. 1.00
00:19:03.520 Look, Gadsad is a piece of shit. 1.00
00:19:06.800 He criticizes Islam. 1.00
00:19:08.800 And here was a terror attack in Montreal,
00:19:11.340 and it wasn't even a Muslim. 0.99
00:19:14.100 So look what a hateful guy Gadsad is. 0.97
00:19:17.440 Those are human beings that are your teachers, 0.69
00:19:20.820 your dentists, your gardeners,
00:19:22.820 and your surgeons. That's what we have. So that's number one. Number two, the same people who sent
00:19:29.940 me all those hateful messages said, do you know, asshole, that there was a cop that was killed 1.00
00:19:36.920 and he was Muslim? His name is Muhammad. As if the fact that a Muslim man was a cop 1.00
00:19:44.960 negates anything that I've said in the past about how Islamic doctrines might be incongruent 0.94
00:19:52.680 with the West. So let me repeat again. There are nice Muslims. There are mean Muslims. There are 0.98
00:19:59.000 Muslims who want to kill you, and there are Muslims who don't want to kill you. There are 1.00
00:20:02.780 generous Muslims, and there are avarice Muslims, just like there are in any other grouping of 0.84
00:20:09.220 people. It doesn't alter one millimeter of the epistemology of truth of what Islam is as relating 0.91
00:20:19.600 to the West. But again, the reason why I'm saying this is because an astounding tragedy 1.00
00:20:25.240 happens in Montreal, and a bunch of Canadians decide that the best use of their time as
00:20:32.400 that tragedy happened, where a Muslim cop is killed senselessly, where an innocent bystander
00:20:40.240 is killed senselessly, and where the perpetrator is ultimately killed, I'm going to say senselessly
00:20:47.740 because that guy seemed clearly intelligent
00:20:49.980 and he could have had a bright future
00:20:52.060 were he not parasitized by a bunch of really bad ideas.
00:20:57.420 And those progressive liberal Canadians
00:21:00.680 thought that the real culprit in this story was Gadsad.
00:21:06.720 So Gadsad, who could no longer handle
00:21:09.500 being worried about going to his campus
00:21:12.800 because who knows what's going to happen to him 0.92
00:21:15.620 and his campus because of all of the Jew hatred there who decided it's much more beneficial for
00:21:21.600 his family to move to Mississippi in part, not only because, but in part because of the realities
00:21:27.240 that are happening in Montreal. I am the real problem. All right. Sure. Whatever. Number three,
00:21:34.760 let's talk about New York City, what's happening in New York City. Not just New York City,
00:21:40.140 what's happening in Michigan. There is now a growing number of people who are running for
00:21:45.460 high office in various places in the United States who have held very publicly open positions.
00:21:53.320 These are Muslims who have held open positions that would have disqualified any other politician 0.55
00:22:01.420 were he to have said one millionth of what they've said on record. But they are looking like 1.00
00:22:07.660 they're going to win their various political races, I can't tell you the extent to which
00:22:17.940 you're going to regret this. Again, you have to have the courage to extrapolate into the future.
00:22:26.640 Let me repeat the analogy that I've now been saying in many different shows.
00:22:33.940 If your physician diagnoses you with diabetes, the consequences of diabetes are not felt 24 hours after you're diagnosed, nor 48 hours, nor 72 hours, nor three months later.
00:22:53.520 but allow for the unregulated high blood sugar levels to fester in your body. And we could
00:23:02.920 exactly know what diabetes will result in. You could lose your sight. You will have damage to
00:23:10.120 your limb extremities requiring the amputation of those extremities. You have greater likelihood
00:23:17.700 of having cardiovascular incidents,
00:23:20.700 that reality does not occur 15 seconds
00:23:25.920 after you've been diagnosed with diabetes.
00:23:29.720 It's a path-dependent trajectory.
00:23:33.080 So the demographic realities
00:23:35.520 that are taking place in the West
00:23:37.760 are not fully felt until they are fully felt.
00:23:43.300 And at that point, it's too late.
00:23:46.900 Remember my words.
00:23:48.740 Remember that I was the one who told you so.
00:23:51.980 And remember that it was your cowardice and apathy that sold our civilization.
00:23:58.440 So that's number three.
00:24:00.720 And now let me come to the fourth and last one that I'll talk about today.
00:24:04.960 I hesitated at first to share this.
00:24:07.960 I'm not going to mention the names of the people in question.
00:24:11.280 But if they are listening, they will know that it's them.
00:24:14.200 and they should be greatly ashamed of themselves.
00:24:19.920 Yesterday, I went to my daughter's high school pre-prom ceremony.
00:24:28.380 There was a whole bunch of events we had to go to over the past couple of days,
00:24:31.480 which I was happy to do.
00:24:33.180 Any parent should be deeply proud of their children,
00:24:38.740 deeply committed to honoring them when they do good things.
00:24:42.980 regrettably i don't come from a family background where that was the case i'll leave it at that
00:24:49.620 i've always been very private about my own nuclear family's dynamics but let me just say that
00:24:56.820 i certainly tried to create a parental reality for my children that is different than the one
00:25:02.260 that i necessarily experienced but in any case at yesterday's uh graduation ceremony
00:25:09.220 there there were some people there was a woman who knows my wife well her sister and then there was
00:25:17.780 a graduating student who uh who is in the graduating class with my daughter i've known this 1.00
00:25:25.620 this this girl since she was you know four or five years old she they've come to our house 1.00
00:25:30.820 and so on they're jewish but they are wood cricket jews of the worst kind now what do i mean by that 1.00
00:25:38.020 for those of you who don't know, let me repeat why I use that term. A wood cricket is an insect 1.00
00:25:44.800 that abhors water, but when it is parasitized by a hairworm, the hairworm needs the wood cricket to
00:25:51.860 jump into water, merrily and happily committing suicide and suicidal empathy. Please go out and
00:25:59.680 get your copy. I don't say this because I'm going to make $3 off your purchase of my book, but
00:26:05.860 because it is important to arm people with the right knowledge
00:26:10.040 to hopefully implore them to act and fight for our society.
00:26:15.180 But in any case, the hairworm needs the wood cricket to jump into water,
00:26:19.720 merrily committing suicide to suit its reproductive interests. 1.00
00:26:23.580 So when you have queers for Palestine, they are wood crickets. 1.00
00:26:27.080 When you have Jews for Palestine, they are wood crickets. 1.00
00:26:31.480 They're the worst form of wood crickets. 1.00
00:26:33.620 so I being the gracious polite guy that I am I know of their position they're very so the sister
00:26:44.120 was wearing a the lemon thing and these are these are Jews but these are progressive Jews
00:26:50.660 who navigate in the arts world and who you know believe in lesbian dance theory and so on so I
00:26:57.700 went up and very warmly said hello to the sister who just completely blew by me and just looked at 0.99
00:27:05.020 me as if I was the biggest piece of shit that has ever existed because she's a good person because 0.99
00:27:12.940 she's in New York and she knows that Mamdami is doing good things for the Jews whereas I you know 0.99
00:27:19.600 with no real history of understanding Islam you know other than the horrors of my childhood
00:27:26.340 and that which my family went through and escaping execution and the torture of my parents
00:27:32.080 when kidnapped by Fatah, by Palestinian militia.
00:27:36.840 I don't know that.
00:27:37.960 She's from New York.
00:27:39.220 She's progressive. 1.00
00:27:40.500 She knows that I'm a piece of shit. 1.00
00:27:42.020 So she blew by me. 1.00
00:27:43.640 Then I saw the child.
00:27:46.340 I won't mention some of her identifying features, but I went up to the child, 0.99
00:27:52.980 knowing full well that that child has been promulgating free Palestine and the genocide 0.91
00:28:00.180 of the Jews are evil and all this kind of stuff. She's Jewish. She's 17 years old. I went up to her 0.94
00:28:07.980 to hug her. She gave me an incredibly icy stare. I went up to her to hug her to say, 1.00
00:28:14.340 congratulations on your graduation and congratulations on your awards. And I don't
00:28:21.460 think I've ever had a more icy, hateful aura from someone, but I still hugged her. Now, my son
00:28:29.780 happened to be standing next to me. As we left, I didn't say a word. He said, Daddy, you should
00:28:35.840 have seen the faces that she made while you were hugging her. So imagine for a second, if that
00:28:43.660 child had been at the Nova dance festival, music festival, what would have happened to her? 0.95
00:28:51.460 She thinks that the men and women who would come to protect her and Gad Saad, who tries to protect her from those realities, was a disgusting, vile human being. 0.91
00:29:06.900 That she had to muster all of her energy to be able to hug me despite the fact that I was such a diseased person.
00:29:16.400 This is the 17-year-old who was born and raised in Montreal.
00:29:21.460 those are some of the things that are pissing me off people i wish you a great day and again as i
00:29:28.260 said please stand up please get involved please don't think that your voice doesn't matter
00:29:34.820 bit by bit inch by inch we are losing our society cheers everybody
