Ezra Levant - Rebel News, Community Tensions, and Political Shifts amidst an Immigration Crisis

Ezra Levant, founder of Rebel News, discusses immigration issues and civic activism in Canada during an interview with Hearts of Oak. He critiques mainstream media and praises independent journalism. Levant highlights the challenges posed by temporary foreign workers and legal immigration, drawing comparisons to Europe. He reflects on community tensions from demographic shifts, law enforcement's role in immigrant interactions, and the grassroots Freedom Convoy movement. Levant shares concerns about the Conservative Party's direction and announces his upcoming participation in a UK rally for free speech, advocating for global support through the Free Speech Mission.

Partial Transcript [0:27] Introduction with Ezra Levant Hearts of Oak   [0:24]And hello, Harts of Oak. Thanks so much for joining us once again. It's great to have our favorite Canadian with us. That is Ezra Levant. Ezra, thanks so much for giving us your time today. Ezra Levant   [0:35]Oh, it's my pleasure. It's great to catch up with you. Hearts of Oak   [0:38]Always good to catch up. So much to discuss and rebel news are everywhere. It seems as though, Ezra, your team are just always expanding. The areas you cover, the places you go, not even mentioning the avi all the way down, down under, but you seem to have always a growing team, new people that are covering what is happening and holding this. Certainly the Canadian government and wider to account. Ezra Levant   [1:09]Well, thanks very much. I mean, we do love to recruit citizen journalists, so we're always keeping our eyes peeled. And by citizen journalists, I mean people who typically don't go to journalism school and don't come from the mainstream media. I use the word regime media now because so many mainstream journalists really are just spokesmen for the political media industrial complex. There are, of course, some exceptional examples to the contrary. I have to tell you, I really admire a lot of the journalism done by GB News. I think they're doing great stuff, especially on migrants. What they've been doing the last week in Calais, I think, is excellent. But on the whole, if you are an establishment news source, I really don't care what they say because I feel like I'm not getting the whole story. [2:02] Citizen Journalists and their Impact Ezra Levant   [1:59]So at Rebel News, our motto is telling the other side of the story. And I love finding young citizen journalists and throwing them into the deep end. Hearts of Oak   [2:09]Tell us about the situation in Canada regarding immigration, because in the UK, we have those, as you mentioned, and it was just on GB News, about those immigrant camps in France, in Calais, to try and get people over that small stretch of water, the English Channel, one of, if not the busiest stretches of water in the world. And we have a huge issue in that and also many other ways. Where does the pressure come in Canada in terms of the illegal immigration? Ezra Levant   [2:40]Yeah, great question. So many folks come to the UK in dinghies. Ezra Levant   [2:45]They just get in a boat and cross over. And by the way, once they're in the UK, they cross over from Northern Ireland into Ireland itself. So it really is a pipeline of refugee fraud. These are not genuine refugees. They're not coming in in a normal rules-based system. Everyone knows they're fake. Same thing in the United States where millions of people walked across the southern border under Joe Biden. In Canada, it's different.

Hearts of Oak: And hello, Harts of Oak. Thanks so much for joining us once again. (00:24):

Hearts of Oak: It's great to have our favorite Canadian with us. That is Ezra Levant. (00:27):

Hearts of Oak: Ezra, thanks so much for giving us your time today. (00:33):

Ezra Levant: Oh, it's my pleasure. It's great to catch up with you. (00:35):

Hearts of Oak: It seems as though, Ezra, your team are just always expanding. (00:46):

Hearts of Oak: The areas you cover, the places you go, (00:50):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: not even mentioning the avi all the way down, down under, but you seem to have (00:54):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: always a growing team, new people that are covering what is happening and holding this. (01:00):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Certainly the Canadian government and wider to account. (01:06):

Ezra Levant: Well, thanks very much. I mean, we do love to recruit citizen journalists, (01:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: so we're always keeping our eyes peeled. (01:13):

Ezra Levant: And by citizen journalists, I mean people who typically don't go to journalism (01:16):

Ezra Levant: school and don't come from the mainstream media. (01:20):

Ezra Levant: I use the word regime media now because so many mainstream journalists really (01:23):

Ezra Levant: What they've been doing the last week in Calais, I think, is excellent. (01:47):

Ezra Levant: But on the whole, if you are an establishment news source, I really don't care (01:52):

Ezra Levant: So at Rebel News, our motto is telling the other side of the story. (01:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And I love finding young citizen journalists and throwing them into the deep end. (02:03):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Tell us about the situation in Canada regarding immigration, because in the UK, (02:09):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: we have those, as you mentioned, and it was just on GB News, (02:13):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: about those immigrant camps in France, in Calais, to try and get people over (02:17):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: that small stretch of water, the English Channel, (02:23):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: one of, if not the busiest stretches of water in the world. (02:26):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: And we have a huge issue in that and also many other ways. (02:29):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Where does the pressure come in Canada in terms of the illegal immigration? (02:34):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Yeah, great question. So many folks come to the UK in dinghies. (02:40):
undefined

Ezra Levant: They just get in a boat and cross over. And by the way, once they're in the (02:45):
undefined

Ezra Levant: UK, they cross over from Northern Ireland into Ireland itself. (02:49):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So it really is a pipeline of refugee fraud. (02:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: These are not genuine refugees. They're not coming in in a normal rules-based (03:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: system. Everyone knows they're fake. (03:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Same thing in the United States where millions of people walked across the southern (03:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: border under Joe Biden. In Canada, it's different. (03:14):
undefined

Ezra Levant: We do have some fraudulent illegals walking right across the U.S.-Canada border. (03:18):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And you might say, why would anyone cross from America into Canada? (03:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That doesn't make sense. (03:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Well, think about what's going on there. Donald Trump is deporting foreigners (03:28):
undefined

Ezra Levant: who don't have a legal basis to be there. (03:34):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So if you are a criminal or someone who's been ordered deported in America, (03:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: you have two choices, three choices. You can hide, you can, I guess, (03:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: comply, or you can scoot across into Canada. (03:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And for example, there's an enormous number of Haitians, people from Haiti in (03:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the United States, they were given a special dispensation because there was (03:57):
undefined

Ezra Levant: an earthquake and another trauma in Haiti. Well, Trump is saying that's over now, go home. (04:01):
undefined

Ezra Levant: If you are, Haiti is one of the worst places in the world. (04:05):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I mean, God bless the people. I wish them nothing but the best, (04:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: but that is a failed state. It is run by rival gangs. It is terrible. (04:11):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Peter, if you were a Haitian person who has spent the last 10 years in the United (04:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: States, wouldn't you want to do anything besides going home? (04:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Well, they're all coming across the border and going to a French speaking city (04:26):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in Canada called Montreal. (04:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So that's an example of how people who were ordered deported from America are (04:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: crossing our undefended border to get here. But other than that, (04:38):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Most of the migrants to Canada are legal. And that's because Justin Trudeau (04:44):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and our new prime minister, Mark Carney, have opened the floodgates. (04:50):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I just saw a statistic this morning. (04:55):
undefined

Ezra Levant: There are more than 3 million temporary residents in Canada who do not have citizenship. (04:57):
undefined

Ezra Levant: These are fake students who sign up to sort of diploma mills, (05:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: like fake colleges. and they have the right to work. (05:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So they say they're students, they pay 10 grand for tuition, (05:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: which is basically a bribe. (05:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: We have official temporary foreign workers, which are basically foreigners taking (05:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: entry-level jobs away from youth. (05:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Like I remember my very first job when I was 14, I worked in a burger stand (05:29):
undefined

Ezra Levant: for minimum wage, exactly $3.80 or whatever it was. (05:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That job now would not go to a young Canadian looking for the first rung on the ladder. (05:40):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That job would go to someone typically from India. We have an enormous influx (05:46):
undefined

Ezra Levant: of people from India and Bangladesh. (05:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And so you have millions of foreigners in Canada. (05:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And the trouble is in the UK, theoretically, you could deport them because they came illegally. (05:58):
undefined

Ezra Levant: In America, they're deporting hundreds of thousands. (06:05):
undefined

Ezra Levant: But in Canada, other than some of those illegal border crossings, (06:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: like the Haitians I just mentioned, everyone else is here actually with the (06:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: approval of the government. It's shocking. (06:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: We have opened the floodgates and (06:18):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I think we have to start using the word re-migration. This country is... (06:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Is like you think canada is a big place look (06:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: at it on the map it's the second largest land mass in (06:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the world but most of that is uninhabitable it's (06:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: tundra it's ice 90 i don't know if you know the stat peter 90 of canadians live (06:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: within an hour's drive of the u.s border canada looks huge but it's actually (06:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: that thin band right across from the u.s and we have dumped in 3 million foreigners (06:46):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in a country of 40 million people. (06:53):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So nearly 10% of Canadians. (06:55):
undefined

Ezra Levant: In fact, I just saw that 18% of the workforce is foreign. (06:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: What are we doing? Especially when unemployment is high, youth unemployment is double digits. (07:04):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Why are we doing this? And just like in the UK, migrants drive down wages and (07:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: they drive up rents. And I get it. (07:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: If I was born in Calcutta, I would do anything to get to London or Toronto. (07:18):
undefined

Ezra Levant: If I was born in Haiti, I would do anything to get to Montreal. (07:23):
undefined

Ezra Levant: But Canada is for Canadians, just like the UK should be for Brits and Ireland should be for the Irish. (07:28):
undefined

Ezra Levant: One last thing, and I know I'm going on, this is a 10-minute answer to your 30-second question. (07:34):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I've spent a little bit of time in Ireland recently. I've (07:40):
undefined

Ezra Levant: never been there until last year it's a very interesting place i have an affection (07:43):
undefined

Ezra Levant: for the irish and the thing about ireland my favorite part about ireland is (07:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: how irish it is it's my favorite part of italy how italian it is my favorite (07:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: part of france is how french it is (07:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It's not diversity when all of these countries bring in millions and millions (08:03):
undefined

Ezra Levant: of migrants from Syria and Somalia and Afghanistan. (08:07):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Then it's not, then Ireland isn't Irish anymore. I want true diversity. (08:13):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I want there to be an Irish Ireland, an Italian Italy, a Polish Poland, (08:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: a Russian Russia. I want every country to be themselves. (08:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And what's so crazy about Ireland is it's such a tiny place. (08:28):
undefined

Ezra Levant: There's only 5 million Irish. By the way, a million of those are foreign. (08:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And why is that little island with that little population, why has it hurtled (08:37):
undefined

Ezra Levant: so quickly towards, I don't want to use the phrase replacement immigration, but it's hard to (08:43):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Resist that conclusion when you see the extreme steps. (08:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Give me 30 more seconds on this. I know I'm at 20 minutes long answer now. (08:56):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I think I might've told you, I went to this little village called Dundrum in (08:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Ireland, population 200. (09:03):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Stop me if I've told you this before. (09:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It's like a picture postcard. It's the prettiest place in the world. (09:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I immediately became nostalgic for Dundrum when I was in Dundrum. (09:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Like it's just such an ineffable place. I thought, oh my God, (09:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: god who would ever want to leave here i (09:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: feel like i'm in a storybook okay so (09:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: population 200 in one fell swoop the irish (09:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: government without consultation or permission rent (09:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: just did a deal with the local golf and country club took it off the market (09:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: as a hotel and golf course and put 240 migrant men in there immediately rendering (09:39):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the irish population of dundrum a minority they were not consulted (09:46):
undefined

Ezra Levant: dundrum is a high trust society everyone knows everyone (09:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and in fact when i was there with my cameraman we stopped at the side of the (09:55):
undefined

Ezra Levant: road to film what we call b-roll just background footage and someone pulls over (09:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and says hey who are you what are you doing in a nice enough way but this is (10:02):
undefined

Ezra Levant: neighbors checking on neighbors who's the out-of-towner and we said oh we're (10:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: here to cover this and we're with friends with Marianne. He's okay, no problem. (10:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: But that's small town Ireland. (10:13):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That's a high trust society. And imagine putting in 240 military aged migrant (10:16):
undefined

Ezra Levant: men, let me say it, sex starved, (10:22):
undefined

Ezra Levant: They have different views about how to treat women, especially uncovered women (10:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: who don't have a male guardian, because that's how it is in a low-trust society. (10:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: If a woman went out by herself in a low-trust society, she would be a victim. (10:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: If a woman went out uncovered, well, only a prostitute would do that. (10:43):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So you have people who have these extreme notions of how to treat women being (10:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: dumped in a town where women would walk through a forest with a dog, (10:52):
undefined

Ezra Levant: you know, and that used to be normal and people would leave. (10:56):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So that's why I have such an interest in Ireland because it's such a small country (10:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: that could be immediately overwhelmed. (11:03):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And I see that happening in Epping in the outskirts of London. (11:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: People are finally standing up to these migrant hotels. So I'm riveted by the (11:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: migration stories around the world. (11:18):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I've seen mass migration in Malmo, Sweden, in Marseille, France, (11:20):
undefined

Ezra Levant: In Cologne, Germany, in Dublin and around Ireland, in London. (11:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I'm trying to study mass immigration to see its characteristics and to see what works and what doesn't, (11:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and to try and understand what motivates native (11:38):
undefined

Ezra Levant: people to push back i use (11:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the word native why don't i use the word indigenous because (11:45):
undefined

Ezra Levant: they're not the irish indigenous to ireland are not the brits (11:49):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and the english indigenous there we we (11:52):
undefined

Ezra Levant: tend to think of the word indigenous to deal (11:56):
undefined

Ezra Levant: with an exotic tribe in africa or (11:58):
undefined

Ezra Levant: south america but are not the celts are (12:02):
undefined

Ezra Levant: not the anglos are they not indigenous in their places being there for centuries (12:04):
undefined

Ezra Levant: or even thousands of years and why is it that that's the only indigenous group (12:10):
undefined

Ezra Levant: that can't have a homeland and and (12:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: i find these things fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time well (12:18):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: The next time you come over to ireland we'll go to dundrum in the north (12:22):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: of ireland which has a lovely old castle and (12:25):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: actually has some history and not dundrum (12:28):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: on the outskirts of Dublin which isn't as (12:31):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: as scenic but look as I live in London or (12:34):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Londonistan as Melanie Phillips would coin the (12:38):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: term and I'm wondering the impact of in cities and you're right well I don't (12:41):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: have to tell you're right but most Canadians live on near the US border and (12:48):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: not in the in the far north of Canada and Toronto has always been billed as (12:53):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: a multicultural cultural city, (12:58):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: a melting pot, just like where I am in London, (13:00):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Montreal kind of has held that French element, that French history. (13:03):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: So maybe something different. (13:07):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: But how is immigration affecting the cities? (13:09):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: And I guess just like Ireland, the further away you move from Dublin, (13:13):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: the more Irish it becomes. (13:16):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: I guess the same for Canada. The further away you move from the metropolitan (13:18):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: areas, the more Canadian it comes. Yeah. (13:22):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Just really quickly, the dundrum I'm referring to is in County Tipperary. (13:25):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I know there's a few different dundrums around the island, but it was in Tipperary, (13:29):
undefined

Ezra Levant: which is a lovely place. Back to your question. (13:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I recently saw a statistic that New York City, which looks poised to elect Zoran (13:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Mamdani as their new mayor, as (13:43):
undefined

Ezra Levant: you can tell by the name, he's actually a Muslim migrant born in Uganda. (13:45):
undefined

Ezra Levant: He's a radical communist. and and (13:50):
undefined

Ezra Levant: he beat um really an (13:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: old-time politician um andrew cuomo (13:57):
undefined

Ezra Levant: whose father was governor before him and now (14:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: he's running for so it's really a demographic story new york city used to be (14:03):
undefined

Ezra Levant: about the three eyes of foreign politics israel ireland and italy those were (14:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the three big demographics as well as black canadian black americans too of course But it was said, (14:16):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I forget who said it, maybe it was Ed Koch, he said, or Fiorello LaGuardia, I don't know, (14:22):
undefined

Ezra Levant: that you need to know your foreign affairs for Italy, Israel, (14:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and Ireland if you want to be the mayor of New York. (14:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It was sort of fun, but that's not the New York City of 2025, is it? (14:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And I saw a statistic that New York City is 37% foreign born, I think. (14:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I'm just going from memory, 37%, it sounds like a lot. That's not a lot. (14:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Toronto is about 50%. There's an outskirts of Toronto where it's called Brampton, (14:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: 59%. 59% of Brampton, Ontario is foreign born. (14:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And I, without looking it up, I wouldn't know the stats for London, but Canada is worse. (15:02):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Everyone's remarking on the shocking statistic of new york city 37 if only and (15:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in addition to the mass in migration of foreign foreigners brampton has seen (15:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: a white flight of a hundred thousand so (15:20):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I mean, on the one hand, I would not blame anyone who said, I want to get to (15:25):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the promised land of Canada or the promised land of London. (15:31):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I mean, I was once in, I mentioned I was in Malmo, Sweden, which is now 50% Islamic. (15:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I was in the neighborhood of Rosengard, which was once completely Swedish. (15:43):
undefined

Ezra Levant: The whole day I saw one Swedish woman and I ran up to her and I said, who are you? (15:48):
undefined

Ezra Levant: What are you doing here? and she was sort of the last swede (15:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in rosengard it was heartbreaking to talk to her and and (15:56):
undefined

Ezra Levant: so i think countries around the world have to decide are you (16:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: just an address are you just a hotel are (16:03):
undefined

Ezra Levant: you just an airport code or are you (16:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: something more is there a connection between the people and the (16:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: land and you know (16:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: uh professor david starkey the late roger scrutin these are people who would (16:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: talk about the importance of connecting to the land and knowing that your parents (16:22):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and your grandparents and your great-grandparents and going back a thousand (16:26):
undefined

Ezra Levant: years in your line interacted with the same river and the same city. (16:29):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And by the way, high-trust societies take centuries to build, (16:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: but unfortunately only a generation to destroy. (16:40):
undefined

Ezra Levant: This is one of my observations because i'm riveted by (16:43):
undefined

Ezra Levant: what's going on in ireland because i see in dublin protests of 40 000 or more (16:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: people with no political party leading them with no media cheering for them (16:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: these are as grassroots and authentic as possible and i think why is that happening in (16:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Dublin but not in london and not in toronto and i think part of it goes to the (17:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: ethnic cohesion of the Irish people who are a language, (17:13):
undefined

Ezra Levant: a history, a culture, an ethnicity. (17:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: There is an Irishness. You could move to Ireland and become a citizen. (17:22):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Irishness, it's an ethnicity. And God bless it. Vive la différence. (17:28):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Like I say, I love French France. (17:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I don't want it to be McDonaldized through mass immigration. (17:38):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So do you have that sense of community and cohesion in a massive megalopolis like London? (17:44):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Or are we just atomized with no (17:53):
undefined

Ezra Levant: sense of connection to our neighbors and really everything we (17:56):
undefined

Ezra Levant: do is through our cell phone and an app you know (17:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and we just live through our phones and there (18:02):
undefined

Ezra Levant: was recently uh an alleged rape in ballymena in north ireland northern ireland (18:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: on the uk side and the community came out it was moms and dads and and because (18:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: everyone knew someone who knew the girl or knew the family. (18:20):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And there was a cohesion and there was an identity that was pricked. (18:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: These were outside migrants foisted on the community who had raped a young girl (18:31):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in the community and everyone knew her. (18:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Do you have that same sense of community in London? Of course you don't. (18:39):
undefined

Ezra Levant: You don't know who your neighbors are. (18:44):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And so because we're so atomized in our big cities, Toronto, (18:46):
undefined

Ezra Levant: London. Frankly, the reason it happened in Dublin is because it's happened so quickly. (18:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Everything in Dublin has happened (18:57):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in the last 20 or even the last 10 or extremely in the last five years. (18:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: You know the old saying, I think it's really gross, but it's very visceral. (19:04):
undefined

Ezra Levant: You throw a frog into boiling water, it jumps right out because it's so hot. (19:10):
undefined

Ezra Levant: You put a frog in water and slowly raise the temperature, it boils alive. (19:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Don't ever do that, by the way. (19:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I think that's such a gross thing, but I, I think of that Dublin was shocked (19:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: with how Ireland has been shocked by how extreme, like that story of Dundrum in Tipperary. (19:26):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That's so shocking in one fell swoop. Like it wasn't over 10 years. (19:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It was over 10 hours that that town became minority Irish. (19:38):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So you're going to have the town rise up. But if it happens over the course of 20 or 30 years, (19:44):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and you're in a big city and oh well that's what a big city (19:50):
undefined

Ezra Levant: is you're not gonna resist and (19:53):
undefined

Ezra Levant: i don't know london and new york have always (19:57):
undefined

Ezra Levant: been metropolises and and they've always been people coming and going i mean (20:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: i i'm not here to say that london isn't an international city i mean it was (20:05):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the seat of a global empire but there was a britishness to it there was a an (20:11):
undefined

Ezra Levant: identity to it I don't know. (20:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: There's some weird self-hatred, I think, amongst Britain's leaders these days, (20:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: giving away Gibraltar, giving away the Chagos Islands, (20:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: giving back priceless artifacts from the British Museum to countries that will (20:29):
undefined

Ezra Levant: lose them or have them stolen. (20:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: This self-abnegation, this self-hatred that is taught in every institution in the UK is, (20:38):
undefined

Ezra Levant: turning some clerical error into an excuse to bring 100,000 Afghans over, (20:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: claiming they're all interpreters, when only 1,000 interpreters ever served. (20:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Well, guess what? You got 100,000 Afghans coming, the rapiest rapists in the world. (20:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Any other half-hour answer to your question? Apologies. (21:05):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: No, exactly. And you mentioned about the demonstrations, the frustration in (21:09):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Ireland, And I've always been curious and wondering why Ireland, (21:15):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: who is a country that has changed beyond all recognition from when I grew up (21:18):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: in the Republic in the 80s, (21:23):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: and one of the biggest social experiments to see how you can invert a society (21:25):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: and go from the most Christian-based country in Europe to now one of the most (21:31):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: liberal and self-hating countries. (21:37):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: But I think the Irish government don't yet know exactly what to do with that (21:39):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: rise because they didn't expect it. (21:44):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Obviously, in Canada, we saw the Freedom Convoys, the Canadian Truckers with (21:46):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Tamara Leach and others, and they were able to shut that down. (21:50):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: How does that work in terms of pushing back against the awful government, (21:55):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: which you're now stuck with? (22:01):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: You go from the frying pan into the fire, I think, from Trudeau to Carney. (22:02):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: But how do you see the ability of citizens to mobilize and come together whenever (22:06):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: they were so punished, whenever it happened previously? (22:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Well, you're right. It was an amazing thing, the trucker convoy. (22:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And it was amazing for a number of reasons. First of all, just like the Irish (22:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: protests where no political party supported them, no regime media supported (22:26):
undefined

Ezra Levant: them, no source of money supported them. (22:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: They tried to crowdfund a budget. it. It was seized twice. (22:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: The first time GoFundMe wouldn't pass it on, the second time the government (22:37):
undefined

Ezra Levant: seized it. So it was so authentic. It was so grassroots. (22:41):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And citizen journalists, by the way, were an important part of that because (22:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the regime media had their script. (22:50):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Oh, these are just January 6 insurrectionists all over again. (22:53):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Well, you can't tell that story and make it stick. (22:58):
undefined

Ezra Levant: If there's ordinary citizens live streaming the thing all day. (23:01):
undefined

Ezra Levant: We had two reporters on the scene 23 days straight. (23:07):
undefined

Ezra Levant: They didn't take a day off. They knew they were in the middle of history. (23:11):
undefined

Ezra Levant: We had 400 million views and impressions in the month of February 2022. (23:13):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I believe that Rebel News and other independent journalists were the reason (23:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Trudeau didn't get away with that, and he panicked and he declared martial law (23:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And actually, that's when things started to fall apart for Trudeau. (23:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Now we have Mark Carney, as you mentioned, who started off as a Canadian, (23:34):
undefined

Ezra Levant: but then he became a British citizen and an Irish citizen. So we're one of only (23:39):
undefined

Ezra Levant: three, we're in his top three favorite countries, I guess. (23:45):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And then he went from being our Bank of Canada governor to the British, (23:49):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the English Bank of Canada governor. (23:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Then he went to the World Economic Forum and the United Nations. (23:55):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So the guy's always looking around. (23:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: He's like those people at a party who are always, they're talking to you, (24:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: but they're looking around for someone better to talk to. (24:04):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And so he decided to come to Canada and be our prime minister, (24:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: even though he hasn't lived here in a decade, hasn't paid taxes here in a decade. (24:11):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And he was the chairman of a, of a mini BlackRock called Brookfield. (24:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It's not very mini. It has a trillion dollars in assets under management. (24:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So this guy who specialized (24:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in hiding assets in offshore trusts i (24:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: went to the isle of man i went to bermuda trying to track down (24:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: where he was stashing things anyway so he becomes (24:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: prime minister and he refuses to sell his (24:39):
undefined

Ezra Levant: stocks so he owns approximately 600 shares in 600 companies we don't know his (24:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: total net worth i it wouldn't surprise me if he's a billionaire There's certainly (24:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: hundreds of millions and he owns stocks in every possible industry, (24:55):
undefined

Ezra Levant: high tech, oil and gas, wind power, um, (25:01):
undefined

Ezra Levant: pharmaceuticals like you, like when you own 600 different companies shares, (25:05):
undefined

Ezra Levant: you are a global behemoth and he won't sell them. (25:10):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And so he's got this bizarre ethics screen where whenever an issue comes up (25:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: that touches on one of his holdings, he's supposed to leave the room. (25:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: How are you going to run a country when you have 600 conflicts of interest? (25:25):
undefined

Ezra Levant: What I don't understand is why he just doesn't sell them unless he's still looking (25:29):
undefined

Ezra Levant: around for another better deal. (25:34):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It's so weird. I call Carney Trudeau 2.0, but he's smarter and harder working and better connected. (25:37):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Trudeau was always a bit of a fool. At most, he was a mascot. (25:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: He had a lot of party tricks, like he would show people his fancy socks and (25:52):
undefined

Ezra Levant: he would make little jokes. (25:57):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Carney's actually quite boring and stiff by contrast, but Carney is dead serious. (26:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And by the way, it also happens to be that, I don't know, Mark Carney, (26:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: his wife's family is in Jeffrey Epstein's Black Book. (26:13):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Mark Carney and his wife were partying in the UK with Ghislaine Maxwell. (26:20):
undefined

Ezra Levant: We never got an explanation for that. How well do they know each other? (26:26):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And prince andrew who settled a (26:31):
undefined

Ezra Levant: lawsuit by one of epstein's victims paid he paid her hundreds of thousands of (26:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: dollars to shut up he threw a party at buckingham palace for mark carney and (26:41):
undefined

Ezra Levant: paid the bill we don't so i mean (26:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: maybe that all has a perfectly innocent explanation it probably does um (26:48):
undefined

Ezra Levant: What are you doing in Jeffrey Epstein's black book? His wife, his wife's family. (26:55):
undefined

Ezra Levant: What are you doing? I think in fact she hid at Carney's wife's family house. (27:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Maybe British fancy pants high society is that small. I don't know. (27:10):
undefined

Ezra Levant: But it reminded me a little bit of that Tom Cruise movie, Eyes Wide Shut. (27:16):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And I just want to know what his connection was. (27:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Just say it. Wow. (27:25):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Is there no chance of you getting Stephen Harper out of retirement? (27:30):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: I mean, the Conservative Party seems to have failed to elect a popular leader. (27:33):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: And in the last election, Pierre managed to snatch a defeat from the jaws of victory. (27:39):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Um yeah no chance of him coming out and actually actually being a conservative (27:46):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: leader which is quite rare now in canada. (27:52):
undefined

Ezra Levant: You know stephen harper is securely retired and i don't see him coming out of (27:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: it pierre paulie of the conservative leader who for two years was on track to win a large majority (28:01):
undefined

Ezra Levant: um i think what happened is and i'm and you know me i'm a big donald trump supporter (28:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Uh, we, even though I'm Canadian, we were big supporters of him in all three elections. (28:16):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Editorially that is um for some (28:22):
undefined

Ezra Levant: reason he started spooking canadians and saying we're going to annex you and (28:25):
undefined

Ezra Levant: we're going to make you part of america and you know obviously that's not going (28:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: to happen it was just a rhetorical yanking trudeau's chain but that spooked about a million voters (28:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and you wouldn't think a million voters is a lot in a country of 40 million (28:43):
undefined

Ezra Levant: people But that was enough for people to say, uh-oh, (28:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Pierre Polyev is sort of a mini MAGA. He's a mini Trump. (28:53):
undefined

Ezra Levant: He's sort of the most like Trump of our different parties. (28:58):
undefined

Ezra Levant: The liberal Mark Carney ran an extremely anti-American campaign, (29:01):
undefined

Ezra Levant: basically running against Trump more than he was running against Pierre Polyev. (29:05):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And Polly was in a bit of a pickle because is he really going to try and outdo (29:10):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the liberals in anti-Americanism? (29:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It wouldn't come across as credible. (29:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And a million Canadians just sort of thought, I have to vote for Mark Carney (29:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: or our country will be swallowed up. (29:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And trump did his best to magnify that and i don't understand it i don't know how it is in (29:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: america's interest to have a left-wing neighbor like wouldn't you want a pro-military pro-capitalism (29:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: smaller government anti-woke prime minister in canada how does it benefit america to have (29:44):
undefined

Ezra Levant: mark carney i don't understand that but i and i hate to say it but i think donald (29:49):
undefined

Ezra Levant: trump his interventions is why we have a liberal PM. (29:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I think that it's possible for Poliev to win. And I think immigration is actually the key. (30:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And in recent weeks, Poliev has come out harder and harder on immigration. (30:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: He now says we have to send a lot more people out than are coming in. (30:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That's a way of saying re-migration. (30:14):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I think that there was no way Poliev could (30:18):
undefined

Ezra Levant: have won the argument if the argument was who (30:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: can stand up to trump but if (30:25):
undefined

Ezra Levant: he would have chosen his own controversy and said freeze (30:28):
undefined

Ezra Levant: immigration deport uh the (30:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: illegals um send home (30:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the temporary foreign workers and the international students remigrate (30:40):
undefined

Ezra Levant: it would have been controversial the media would have gone nuts it (30:44):
undefined

Ezra Levant: would have changed the subject from trump annexing canada (30:48):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and you know what i think enough of (30:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the silent majority would have said that's that's it's such a crisis in this (30:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: country like we i know it's bad in the uk i know it's bad in america i know (30:58):
undefined

Ezra Levant: it's bad in ireland but i think it's actually the worst of all the countries (31:04):
undefined

Ezra Levant: here in canada and i just that stat i gave you about New York City versus Toronto or Brampton. (31:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Like, it is so bad here. (31:13):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And even new immigrants say that. (31:15):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Tell me about the situation with Islam. (31:20):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: I love one of your fellow Canadians, Gad Saad, and always calls it out so well, (31:25):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: the issue of Islam and the failure to integrate in that clash. (31:32):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: And you put up, I think it was maybe 10 days ago, maybe two weeks ago, (31:38):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: about some of your reporters being threatened with arrest for filming, (31:43):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: simply filming the call to prayer and Muslims praying. (31:47):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: They didn't want that to happen. And then another thing you've reposted, (31:52):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: which just happened today, (31:56):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: was a solicitor in the UK, Michael Phillips, talking to Toby Young about Muslims (31:57):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: in the home office in the UK and stopping those who are fleeing Muslim countries who are Christians, (32:03):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: blocking them because we have a Muslim problem in our home office. (32:10):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: So what is the situation in Canada? (32:14):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: I guess you've got one side, you've got the liberal elite, that's probably the (32:16):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: police officers, going in and thinking you can't say anything about Islam. (32:21):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: But the other side, I guess, is possibly an Islam issue, maybe within your government (32:24):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: that could also pose other issues. (32:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Well, let me give you the example of Montreal, which I think you mentioned. (32:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: There is a large, beautiful, historic cathedral called the Basilica in Montreal. (32:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And by the way, in Montreal, there's also about 100 mosques. (32:44):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So if you're Muslim and you want to pray, you have an enormous amount of choice. (32:47):
undefined

Ezra Levant: But a pro-Hamas protest almost every week is right outside the basilica for some reason. (32:52):
undefined

Ezra Levant: What's the Catholic Church got to do with that? And they have, (33:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: as the apex of their protest, (33:04):
undefined

Ezra Levant: they have this mass street prayer right (33:07):
undefined

Ezra Levant: outside the doors of the catholic basilica (33:10):
undefined

Ezra Levant: why what are (33:14):
undefined

Ezra Levant: you doing that's not an act of faith that's an act (33:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: of dominance in the public square showing who the new boss is and why are you (33:20):
undefined

Ezra Levant: aggressing against christians i don't understand it i think this is enormous (33:25):
undefined

Ezra Levant: news so we have a reporter in montreal who simply wanted to point a camera at (33:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: it and ask people what are you doing and not only was she harassed, (33:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: including physically by the pro Hamas protesters, but the police (33:39):
undefined

Ezra Levant: shooed her away. One cop said, do you want to get punched? (33:45):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I mean, just so abusive. (33:48):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Um, because what is the path of least resistance? A hundred angry Hamas protesters (33:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: or one petite female reporter and her cameraman. If you're a cop, (33:57):
undefined

Ezra Levant: which is the path of least resistance. (34:03):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And what's incredible is that we are the only journalists there. (34:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: There's another one or two citizen journalists, but Montreal is the second largest (34:11):
undefined

Ezra Levant: city in Canada. There's an enormous number of reporters, both in French and (34:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: English. They choose not to report on this. Let me say one more word about the police there. (34:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So the police actually were doing some law enforcement a year or so ago. (34:23):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And then a bunch of these Hamas activists sued the city of Montreal. (34:28):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And the mayor ordered the city to pay $25 million to the Hamas protesters. (34:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So number one, huge transfer of public money to the worst people in the city. (34:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Number two you're a cop what message does (34:48):
undefined

Ezra Levant: that send you oh my mayor is telling (34:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: me not to enforce the law against the hamas activists so you have the worst (34:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: of all worlds you have two-tier policing like you have in the uk we see that (35:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in toronto as well um i myself was arrested if you can believe been. (35:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: There was a pro-Hamas protest and they had this recreation of a scene of the (35:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: last moments of Yahya Sinwar. (35:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That was the head of Hamas. (35:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And this was in my neighborhood. I live in a fairly Jewish place. (35:22):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And so I just went to photograph this crazy, like, you know, (35:25):
undefined

Ezra Levant: some people have Christmas decorations on their lawn. (35:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Some people have Halloween decorations on their lawn. these guys had built like (35:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: a Yaya Sinoir reenactment in a Jewish neighborhood and they were shouting and (35:38):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I just went to film it and a cop said to me (35:45):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And I wasn't interviewing anyone. It was on the public sidewalk. (35:49):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I was just taking pictures of this crazy thing. (35:53):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And the cops said, if you don't leave, I'll arrest you. And I said, why? (35:55):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And he said, and I got this all on tape. He said, your mere presence here could (36:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: cause them to make a disturbance. (36:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Like you being here will make them freak out. (36:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So instead of stopping them (36:17):
undefined

Ezra Levant: from freaking out i'm arresting you a local resident because (36:20):
undefined

Ezra Levant: your mere presence here is upsetting them (36:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: that they handcuffed me and took me to jail wow then (36:26):
undefined

Ezra Levant: they released me without charge what were they going to charge me (36:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: with standing on a sidewalk so that's the (36:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: state of policing here and um yeah (36:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: i mean the police here they they have a (36:39):
undefined

Ezra Levant: muslim podcast an explicitly muslim podcast (36:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in the toronto police and a couple of the the (36:46):
undefined

Ezra Levant: cops were talking about how one of the upsides of (36:49):
undefined

Ezra Levant: october 7th was so many people uh now (36:52):
undefined

Ezra Levant: have interest in islam and they want to know more about islam so (36:55):
undefined

Ezra Levant: they're talking about the the pros and cons of october 7th and and they also (36:58):
undefined

Ezra Levant: said it's islamophobia to call people at these uh protests pro hamas that's (37:02):
undefined

Ezra Levant: islamophobia So get ready for censorship of anyone who calls out Hamas. (37:09):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That's why I'm against censorship. It's very hard to be against censorship because (37:16):
undefined

Ezra Levant: we hear things we don't like. (37:20):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And the things we don't like, we want silence. (37:21):
undefined

Ezra Levant: But I promise you, if you set the precedent of censorship, it will absolutely be used against you. (37:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And so the answer is free speech. Free speech. (37:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: That only works in a Western liberal high trust society. (37:37):
undefined

Ezra Levant: If you bring in millions of people to your country who have no tradition of (37:41):
undefined

Ezra Levant: free speech, who are brutal, who maybe use free speech temporarily to get more (37:45):
undefined

Ezra Levant: power when they'll then extinguish free speech for everyone, (37:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: it comes back to immigration. (37:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I can't think of any secondary issue that wouldn't be ameliorated by dealing (37:56):
undefined

Ezra Levant: with the primary issue of mass immigration, (38:02):
undefined

Ezra Levant: whether it's the cost of housing or wages or lineups for the NHS or crime, (38:05):
undefined

Ezra Levant: especially crimes against women, (38:13):
undefined

Ezra Levant: discord in the streets. (38:16):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I cannot think of a single secondary political issue, traffic even. (38:18):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I don't know if you see images, but Los Angeles (38:23):
undefined

Ezra Levant: has about 800,000 illegals and many (38:26):
undefined

Ezra Levant: of them have self-deported i know that sounds like a laugh but they're (38:29):
undefined

Ezra Levant: they're leaving many that come into canada the traffic (38:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in la worst traffic in america the traffic apps show that the traffic is lighter (38:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: i mean it's it's shocking to i mean if you were to say goodbye to every illegal (38:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in canada or in the uk or america tell me one thing that wouldn't be a higher quality of life (38:48):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: The way the way (38:56):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: it fixed quality of life in la would be to put a train (38:58):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: to lax and then you wouldn't have to sit in that traffic which (39:02):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: i've experienced and as i i need (39:05):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: to finish on a really uh important uh rally that's happening in september so (39:08):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: i need and usually fly in the uk sometimes you fly you land the morning and (39:15):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: you leave the evening um and that shows your absolute commitment to reporting (39:19):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: on issues that others will not report on. (39:24):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: And often you're in the UK to report on Tommy Robinson and his trials, which are many. (39:27):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: But he is holding a huge free speech rally after serving, I can't remember, (39:34):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: six, seven months in soldier confinement. I went to visit him at the beginning of the year. (39:41):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: You're going to be there with so many other people. (39:47):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: It's looking like a really exciting uh well (39:51):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: it'll be an exciting day on the 13th but you're going to come a little bit longer (39:55):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: do you want to fill us in on you you'll be one of the obviously one of the keynote (39:59):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: speakers there and but you're bringing a team fill us in and maybe how people (40:03):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: can actually get involved in that and follow what you're up to there sure. (40:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And you're right i've been i mean tommy robinson i've known him for about a (40:13):
undefined

Ezra Levant: decade he worked for rebel news for about a year or so And then he went independent and sometimes (40:17):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Say he went rogue. (40:23):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Yeah. Well, I mean, he is, uh, he, let me just say this. (40:25):
undefined

Ezra Levant: He's not meant to have a boss being Tommy Robinson's boss is not an easy job. Um, (40:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: But he gets arrested sometimes. He really is being treated as an enemy of the state. (40:37):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And I don't think that the justice system treats him equally to others. (40:41):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It's sort of like Lucy Connolly getting 31 months for a tweet and actual rapists (40:46):
undefined

Ezra Levant: getting a lower sentence. (40:51):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It's based on race and culture and politics. (40:53):
undefined

Ezra Levant: I just simply don't think the UK judiciary is blinding. (40:56):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Well, you know, that statue of Lady Justice with the scales and the blindfold. (41:01):
undefined

Ezra Levant: The blindfold is important. (41:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It means I'm not going to take into account irrelevant characteristics like (41:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: who you are. I'm just going to measure the law. (41:11):
undefined

Ezra Levant: The UK has lost that. So when Tommy is imprisoned, I sometimes try and help (41:14):
undefined

Ezra Levant: because he is sort of incapacitated. (41:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: There are limits on his communication. (41:23):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So I try and help Tommy from time to time. (41:26):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And so that's the nature of my relationship with him now. He's asked me to speak (41:29):
undefined

Ezra Levant: on the 13th. I'd be delighted to do so. (41:33):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And I thought, well, why don't I come in a couple of days early because there's, (41:37):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and then I thought, well, why don't I bring some friends? (41:41):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Because this is going to be such a huge free speech rally. (41:45):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And for people who have been following Rebel News and our coverage of Tommy (41:50):
undefined

Ezra Levant: over the last decade, maybe they want to meet them. (41:54):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So I'm putting together something I'm calling the Free Speech Mission. (41:57):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And we have a website for it, freespeechmission.com. (42:01):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And it's for people overseas who want to (42:06):
undefined

Ezra Levant: fly into the uk we'll get there wednesday (42:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: night on thursday and friday we'll have (42:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: sort of a conference where we'll meet with different political and (42:15):
undefined

Ezra Levant: journalists and activists to learn a little bit more about the state of things (42:19):
undefined

Ezra Levant: in the uk i don't want to give away the names yet because there'll be pressure (42:23):
undefined

Ezra Levant: on them like i i have to be careful because there'll be a lot of cancel culture (42:28):
undefined

Ezra Levant: deployed against our little mission, but we're going to have a free speech mission. (42:32):
undefined

Ezra Levant: We're going to be in the UK Thursday and Friday meeting with opinion leaders (42:36):
undefined

Ezra Levant: and other community leaders. (42:40):
undefined

Ezra Levant: On Saturday, we're going to go to the big rally. I'll be speaking. (42:42):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Sunday, we've got a day outside of London. We're going to take everybody in (42:46):
undefined

Ezra Levant: a bus on sort of a tourist mission. (42:49):
undefined

Ezra Levant: And then we finished that night and people check out on Monday. (42:53):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So (42:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: uh trip so it's obviously a big (43:00):
undefined

Ezra Levant: commitment and it's not for everybody but we've (43:03):
undefined

Ezra Levant: got 50 spaces and this is for canadians or americans who want to get to know (43:07):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the uk a little bit we will be having dinner uh with tommy privately uh which (43:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: will i think be the highlight of the trip but we have confirmed some amazing (43:18):
undefined

Ezra Levant: other speakers again i'm not saying their names and i know that sounds curious, (43:23):
undefined

Ezra Levant: but it's because I don't want pressure to be put on them to cancel. (43:27):
undefined

Ezra Levant: So it's not cheap because you got to fly to London and then we're staying in (43:30):
undefined

Ezra Levant: a nice hotel and we're going to have some conference speakers there. (43:35):
undefined

Ezra Levant: But if you are someone who has some means and would like a meaningful trip, (43:40):
undefined

Ezra Levant: like there's a, if you want to go on a great vacation, go to a beach, (43:46):
undefined

Ezra Levant: you know or go to florence italy or something but if you want a meaningful seminar educational (43:50):
undefined

Ezra Levant: Trip to meet some of the best people in the uk the highlight of which will be (43:59):
undefined

Ezra Levant: the rally on the 13th then consider coming with us obviously if you're a brit (44:03):
undefined

Ezra Levant: uh the math is a bit different because you don't have to stay in the hotel or (44:08):
undefined

Ezra Levant: or the airfare but this is really targeted at (44:12):
undefined

Ezra Levant: worldwide supporters of Tommy who want to get to know the man personally, (44:16):
undefined

Ezra Levant: who want to be there on the 13th, freespeechmission.com. (44:20):
undefined

Ezra Levant: It's not for everybody and it's not cheap because it involves hotels and flights, (44:24):
undefined

Ezra Levant: but I'm excited about it. And I love coming over there to see the fight for freedom. (44:27):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: Well, it's going to be an exciting event. All the Tommy rallies have been amazing, (44:32):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: including the ones that have been held on his behalf when he's been in prison. (44:39):
undefined

Hearts of Oak: In prison i remember i think 2018 i think it was uh rahim kind of headed up (44:43):
undefined
