EZRA LEVANT | The global Intifada against Israel heats up in Middle East, Canada

Ezra Levant warns that the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre—dubbed "Israel’s 9/11 times 20"—has fueled a global anti-Semitic surge, with chants like "from the river to the sea" and "globalize the Intifada" spreading across Canada, Europe, and the U.S., often tied to Iranian-backed protesters exploiting weak immigration vetting. He highlights Canada’s 2M annual migrant intake from hostile regimes, criticizing policies that prioritize symbolic gestures over security, while questioning Tim Walz’s Maoist ties—his June 4th wedding date, CCP visits, and anti-free speech stances—as evidence of communist infiltration in Western politics. The episode frames unchecked immigration and ideological extremism as existential threats, far deadlier than Israel’s direct conflicts. [Automatically generated summary]

War In The Middle East 00:02:05
Hello, my friends.

Tonight, the war in the Middle East, including its front lines here in Canada.
It's October 2nd, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
Shame on you, you censorious bug.
You know, we're coming up on the one-year anniversary of October 7th.
Israel's 9-11 times 20, proportionately.
It was an absolute massacre, the worst killing of Jews since the Holocaust.
Mr. Hahn Stands Up 00:07:43
It was the starter pistol for a global jihadist movement.
And a lot of that is happening here in Canada and in the United States and Europe as well.
Listen to the chants.
These would have been shocking a year ago, but now they're commonplace.
Things like from the river to the sea or globalize the intifada.
Maybe those don't mean as much to you as Sieg Heil or some Hitler Nazi chants, but they really mean the same thing.
Globalize the Intifada means have violent terrorism everywhere.
It's what it means.
from the river to the sea is shorthand for kill all the Jews in Israel.
But they don't just mean Israel because they're here in Canada, too.
There's.
There's violence here.
There's arson.
There's terrifying things.
And actual terrorism charges seem to be laid almost every month.
I mean, we're almost used to the new normal of vandalism and other crimes, constant threats and menaces, masked thugs that police defer to or even bring coffee to.
The law is not being enforced.
I asked Ontario's Solicitor General, the cabinet minister in charge of the police for this province, why he was not laying charges for obvious crimes, including when Hamas masked protesters surrounded a Jewish synagogue and beset it for half a day.
There's actually a specific criminal code prohibition on that.
I asked him, he didn't have a good answer other than to tell me he was a proud Jew, which is sort of beside the point, and I don't think it's an excuse.
Take a listen.
How come there were no charges under Section 176.2 of the Criminal Code besetting a house of worship when all those protesters were outside the Bayat Synagogue in Thornhill?
Well, that's a question that you're going to have to ask the York Regional Police or the Attorney General.
I'm here because I'm not going to see my community intimidated.
I speak out all the time in support of our Jewish community.
I'm not afraid to wear my kippah.
I'm not afraid to go to synagogue every Sabbath, every Shabbat.
And I'm going to do everything that I can to stand up for our inherent right to live safely in our own homes and communities.
And I'm not going to stop.
Everything short of prosecuting them, though, right?
I mean, the U of T remains encamped with an illegal encampment.
You're very good on Twitter, but have you actually done any prosecutions?
Well, again, this is something that you have to speak to the Attorney General.
He's your colleague.
You're in the government.
Why shouldn't you inside?
No, what I can tell you is I'm working every day to that our legislation, that our regulations are adhered to.
I'm standing up with my community.
I've been 34 weeks almost every single week to the rally of Batherston Shepard in support of remembering the hostages who have been held against their will in captivity in Gaza.
And it's not acceptable.
Well, and that's exactly, and that's exactly what I'm saying.
It obviously is acceptable since you're not prosecuting it.
You have condoned it.
You've created a new normal where people can engage in low-level, permanent, anti-Semitic crimes, assault, threats, mischief, because you guys don't prosecute.
But there you are on Twitter, though, so congrats for that.
It's important that the Jewish community sees a person from their own community in the Ontario legislature standing up against hate every single day, who has the support of a Premier, who has called it out.
Where are the other levels of government today who exercise the same voice that Premier Ford does, that we will not accept anti-Semitism and have accepted it?
Where's the prosecution?
Again, this is something you could ask Minister Varani.
You can ask the Prime Minister.
The province, the province prosecutes.
The province prosecutes.
Better save your boss.
I think he's afraid, and he's afraid of his boss, the Premier, because his boss can count votes.
And there's about 350,000, 400,000 Jews in Canada, and about five times as many Muslims.
Now, thankfully, not all Muslims are anti-Semitic, but many of them are, and many of them come from places where anti-Semitism is taught in schools, where it is official government policy.
And no one told them before they came to Canada that that's not how we roll.
So that is now how we rule.
And you can tell by watching, just by looking who the bad guys are.
Who are the people standing in our streets, blocking roads, wearing masks, chanting threats?
They're overwhelmingly foreigners, either new Canadians or people not yet even Canadians.
They're guests here.
They're visitors on a student visa or some other temporary visa.
Maybe they're a fake refugee applicant.
Many of them are paid and organized by foreign entities.
We learn from Global News that there are 700 agents in Canada from Iran working to organize these things.
Many of the others who are not foreigners, they're hardcore left-wing Canadians.
They're still paid and organized by, say, big labor.
There's Fred Hahn, the outrageous and ridiculous clown, head of the public sector workers of Ontario, full-blown anti-Semite.
He gets paid for this stuff.
My friend David Menzies scrummed him on the street the other day.
Take a look how that went.
Hey, Mr. Hahn, how are you doing today?
Are you worried about using your cell phone or pager or walkie-talkie by any chance?
Could you get out of my way, please?
Oh, I'm not talking to you, sir.
You're in my way.
No, I'm not.
Mr. Han, no?
Mr. Hahn, given your sexual orientation, how well would you do in Gaza?
Or would you stay in the closet in Gaza?
Now the fact that you are in, the fact that you are at this counter demonstration, does that mean you agree with a sexual, no you're getting my way sir.
Do you agree with radicalized sex education for children?
Have a good day, sir.
No, don't think so.
Have a good day.
Stop bumping into me, actually.
I'm walking perfectly.
Okay, then.
Mr. Han, can you answer any of these questions?
Mr. Hand.
Whoa, that was very aggressive.
Mr. Hand, why do you think it's proper for you with a public sector from Russia?
Sir, I can't hear you with your face diaper on.
By the way, Mr. Hahn, why are so many of your allies wearing face diapers?
I thought COVID was over.
Sorry, you're bumping right now.
Okay, then.
We've been beset by this.
It's now normal where once the media would have a tizzy over a fleeting glimpse of a swastika flag.
I'm talking about the false flag stitch-up at the trucker convoy in Ottawa two and a half years ago.
Well, now they abide the same and worse all the time.
They don't talk about it because it's not a trucker they're trying to smear.
They're trying to protect new immigrants from the smear of anti-Semitism, but it's not a smear.
They actually are.
But as Sherlock Holmes would say, what about the dogs that didn't bark?
Remember that story?
There are no street protests like this in the Arab world.
None.
Not in the great Arab cities of Dubai.
Not in the key Arab country, Saudi Arabia.
Folly Of Gazan Refugees 00:04:29
There are no Arab or Muslim countries in the world taking refugees from Gaza.
The Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, says he actually doesn't care about the Palestinian issue.
He has other things he cares about.
Here's a story about that.
The folly of bringing in Gazans as refugees is just on Canada and Australia.
Other countries know better.
Jordan, which is about 50% Palestinian demographically, they took Palestinians when Yasser Arafat was around.
He started a civil war there that almost toppled the current king's father.
Same thing happened in Syria.
Same thing happened in Lebanon, both of which have succumbed.
Israel can largely take care of itself, I'm glad to say.
It was hamstrung in its reaction to the Gaza-Hamas terrorist attacks by Joe Biden, by Anthony Blinken.
All of the Western allies of Israel told it not to extirpate Hamas, but to have ceasefires and to go easy.
But when Israel didn't listen to that in Lebanon, look at how effective it was.
First, with the incredible move of blowing up Hamas, sorry, Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies, the entire Hezbollah organizational charge was gone, especially with the huge bombing of the headquarters.
Remember that?
Extraordinary explosion?
Now, when the head of Hezbollah, named Hassan Nasrallah, basically an Iranian puppet in Lebanon, who had killed thousands of Lebanese too, by the way, when he was assassinated, the Western leftists were in mourning.
But in the region, there were celebrations.
I'm not talking about Jews.
I'm talking about Christians and Muslims in Lebanon, in Syria, even in Iran.
They were cheering what Israel did because Hezbollah doesn't just kill Jews.
They kill anyone that gets in their way, including thousands of Syrians and Lebanese.
Oh, and by the way, hundreds of U.S. Marines and nearly 100 French soldiers too.
But something interesting happened yesterday.
I don't know if you saw it.
It was actually sort of terrifying.
Hundreds of ballistic missiles fell on Israel.
They're much faster and harder to hit than the small rockets fired from southern Lebanon or Gaza.
There were about 200 of these ballistic missiles that were fired.
Incredibly, not one Israeli death, even though several of them did hit and created huge craters.
Compare Iran's attack on Israel with these inaccurate, hugely explosive ballistic missiles with the ultra-precision attacks Israel used in Hezbollah, the Pagers, the precision-guided missiles.
Iran's approach is deliberately to kill as randomly as possible.
That's where the terror comes from.
Israel's approach is to avoid the civilians and get the terrorists.
Obviously, Israel has never attacked Iran, the country.
It just hasn't.
But this was Iran's second unprovoked attack on Israel.
The first was back in April, where again, luckily they didn't kill anyone either.
Now, how can Iran be so ineffective?
I don't know if it's just they're a paper tiger or if this was some sort of just-for-show attack so they could look tough and keep some self-respect after having their proxy in Hezbollah smashed.
Speaking of tough talk, there's been some very tough talk from a variety of Israeli cabinet ministers saying they were going to retaliate against Iran in a brutal way.
Maybe, or maybe they're just huffing and puffing too.
I don't quite know.
I don't know if they'll do anything.
I'm actually suspect that the United States has told them not to fight back at all, told Israel just to accept hundreds of missiles landing in their country without fighting back.
In some ways, I'm actually more worried, though, about what's happening here at home.
I see in the news two new command posts in the York region.
Rcmppreparedness? 00:12:17
That's the area outside Toronto.
They're setting up command posts to protect the Jews.
There's still command posts after October 7th at various Jewish schools in Toronto proper, but I don't think they actually stop anything.
Everyone can see.
They're just a truck parked there.
There's no one in them.
It seems like it would be deterring the least motivated of terrorists, but it wouldn't stop someone who actually wants to follow through on the Hamas or the Hezbollah promise of killing the Jews.
And there are those people amongst us.
Like I said before, there are terrorism charges across this country on a regular basis now.
It barely makes the headlines anymore.
And those millions of immigrants we're bringing in, including the thousands from Gaza.
Well, you heard Mark Miller, the affirmative action immigration minister, chosen simply because he was in Justin Trudeau's wedding party.
He says he doesn't vet.
That's the job for our police to catch the bad guys afterwards.
Remember that?
Accused in the Najar killing were on student visas here in Canada?
I can't.
You cannot?
I can't.
There's information I just can't share with you at this time.
This is an ongoing police investigation, and those questions reside properly with the RCMP or Minister LeBlanc.
Generally speaking, if someone were on a student visa, would there be criminal record checks?
Yes.
There would be?
Yeah.
And then how does that process work?
You check them, and if they have a criminal record, they don't come in.
Okay.
And then, okay.
Do those reports concern you though?
I can't.
Obviously, they do, yes.
But again, I can't speak the specifics, Sylvia.
So you can't confirm or deny if they're on student visas?
No.
And you can't confirm or deny if they were still active or?
That's correct.
Okay.
Anything else you want to add?
No.
Thanks.
Did you take your reaction to the fact that India's foreign minister responded to these arrests by saying they just show that Canada has been lax about who it lets into the country?
What do you think of that response?
How do you respond?
We're not lax, and the Indian foreign minister is entitled to his opinion.
What do you plan to do about this?
About what the Indian Foreign Minister said.
I'm going to let him speak his mind.
It's just not accurate.
And what about these reports?
Is there anything the government's going to do to respond to this?
I know you say you can't comment because it's person, but like anything, is there anything at all that the government's going to do?
We take any report like this very seriously.
Are you involved in, is your office involved in the investigation at all, providing information to RCMP?
We always cooperate with the RCMP.
How are you even asked to cooperate in this case?
We're always asked to cooperate, can't speak the specifics.
Now, I'm not calling for censorship of Canadian citizens, but I don't believe foreign citizens have the right to be racist, hateful, genocidal agitators in our country.
I think if the rules were reversed, if we were tourists or on a temporary student or working visa in, say, Pakistan or Iran, and we whipped up protests against the regime, we would be deported immediately.
But I'm not even focused on the free speech aspect.
I'm focused on the real crimes, the trespass, the mischief, the vandalism, the uttering threats, and even the traffic violations.
This dominant move, the psychology move of suddenly blocking the main intersection and preying on the street, as opposed to one of the dozens of mosques in the city.
Compare how those traffic violations are met with the support of the police.
Compare that to how the truckers, who simply honked their horns and parked in a no-parking zone, how that was the cause of martial law.
No violence there, no death threats, just some honking.
And Justin Trudeau put the country under martial law.
I've noticed something in the past couple of days.
They're actually flying terrorist flags now.
Not just the Palestinian flag, which someone could say is a kind of a proxy for terrorism, but the outright flags of the Hezbollah terrorist group.
Those are the yellow flags with the green machine guns on them, a bit of a giveaway.
The media ignores those, though.
They prefer the swastikas carried by white men, even if they're just set up to embarrass the truckers.
They deliberately ignore these Hezbollah flags.
I'm not even sure if it's legal to carry a Hezbollah flag in Canada.
Here's what the criminal code says is illegal in regards to terrorism.
They say participating, facilitating, instructing, and harboring terrorism.
Those are all crimes.
I don't know if that would expand to marching in a march with a terrorist flag that might not be covered by it, but surely we should sweep in and check the citizen status of those people.
And if they're not Canadians, we should give them the boot.
Melanie Jolie, who is laughably out of her league as our foreign minister, just a deep embarrassment.
She signed a statement the day before Israel eliminated Hassan Nasrallah, calling for Israel not to shoot any more terrorists, completely out to lunch.
Listen to this clip of her saying she thought there was a ceasefire going on.
Remember this?
When I went to bed on Wednesday night, I was convinced that there was a ceasefire.
Just completely out of the loop, completely out of touch.
No one important talks to her.
Why would you imagine you're a very busy person, the prime minister of Israel, the president or whoever is running the United States?
Let's say you're the prime minister of Lebanon.
You have so many people to talk to, so many things to deal with.
Would you ever think, I've got to call the foreign minister of Canada to learn what she has to say?
She reminds me of Kamala Harris in that way.
Remember when Harris and Biden were asked what their message to Iran was, and they just looked at the camera and said, don't.
Remember that?
What's the message to Iran?
Don't.
As President Biden said, just don't.
Exactly.
One word.
Pretty straightforward.
Yeah, I don't think that was quite as terrifying as when Donald Trump says, if you do that, we'll blast you back to the Stone Age.
Melanie Jolie was asked what she thought about this Iranian missile attack on Israel.
And I say again, Israel has never attacked Iran.
This was the second attack by Iran on Israel since April.
Hundreds of ballistic missiles.
Luckily, no one was killed.
Actually, let me take that back.
A poor Palestinian was killed by a piece of rocket that fell on him.
She was asked about it, and Jolie said Israel should not respond.
Take a look.
In this position that Israel should not respond to Iran, I mean, you called for a ceasefire vis-a-vis Hezbollah, but this attack from Iran, is Canada asking Israel not to respond in kind?
We need to make sure that there's no escalation.
Of course, Israel needs to be able to protect itself, and that's why we'll continue to support its security.
And we'll support, of course, through the Arendt.
At the same time, we need to make sure that parties sit down and the war stops.
Because we can see that what will happen, there will be even more further escalation.
More innocent civilians, including women and children, die.
And that's what I said at the UN yesterday.
We need this war to stop.
She said the exact same thing back in April when most of the missiles then were shot down.
She told Israel to take the win.
And we need to make sure that the conflict doesn't extend to the region.
So that is why I've been clear to my counterpart in Israel.
Please take the win and make sure that we can work together to bring back peace in the region.
Is it a win to have a foreign country fire hundreds of missiles at you?
Is that take the win?
Would Canada take it as a win if hundreds of missiles were shot at us?
This is a woman who freaked out and called the riot police along with Justin Trudeau on truckers beeping their horns.
And she's telling Israel to shrug off missile attacks.
She said it would be an escalation for Israel to retaliate.
Is Canada taking the position that Israel should not respond to this attack by Iran?
We think that it is important that Israel be able to protect itself.
It has done so over the weekend, and we are clearly pushing for a de-escalation.
Yeah, I don't think anyone listens to Canada anymore.
I mean, it's pretty clear that she's out of the loop.
When I went to bed on Wednesday night, I was convinced that there was a ceasefire.
But I say again, I'm more worried about what's happening here in Canada than I am in Israel.
I think Israel is aware of the existential crisis it faces, and I think Israel has the means to protect itself.
Frankly, I think it's been hamstrung in Gaza.
But I'm worried about here at home because I don't think we have the awareness and the enlightenment to realize the pickle we're in.
We're still bringing in a record number of migrants, 2 million a year, many from endemically anti-Semitic countries, countries where violence is the norm.
We are becoming a terrorism and violence front line in a way we never have before.
Of course, I hope Israel defeats its enemies because they're enemies of freedom and enemies of the West.
And Israel goes today and the West falls tomorrow.
Of course, I care about that.
I've been to Israel.
I'm Jewish, so I have an ethnic affinity, but I am deeply concerned about here, Canada, and what we're allowing this country to transform itself into, mainly through mass immigration, but also through a woke approach to everything from self-defense to fighting crime.
I'm deeply worried about Toronto and Vancouver and Montreal and Calgary and Edmonton more than I am about Israel.
Stay with us for more.
It's the news event of the year.
Canada's most controversial premier sits down with Canada's most controversial journalist, and everything is on the table.
Come watch Ezra Levant one-on-one with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in front of a live studio audience in Calgary.
Nothing's off-limits.
Nothing's held back.
Questions that would make Justin Trudeau invoke martial law.
Answers that will make Stephen Gilbo pee his pans.
You're not going to want to miss this one, but you have to be there in person at the Rebel News Live mega conference in Calgary on October the 5th.
Tickets are limited, so drop everything and go to RebelNewsLive.com right now.
Special discounted prices for Patriots and special extra high prices if you're with the CBC.
Go to rebelnewslive.com now.
Hey, welcome back.
Well, last night was a debate between the two vice presidential candidates.
And Rebel News live streamed the debate and had active live color commentary by our rebel stars.
It reminded me of how things have changed and how others have not.
What has not changed are the mainstream media reporters who claim to be neutral moderators, but only interrupt the Republican candidate, only purport to fact-check the Republican candidate.
That's been going on forever.
But one thing that changed was the foreign policy questions.
I remember when Barack Obama criticized Mitt Romney for being worried about Russia.
And remember when he said, hey, the 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back?
Here's a clip of that.
Asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America?
You said Russia.
Not al-Qaeda.
You said Russia.
And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.
Well, oddly enough, it's the Democrats who have anathematized Russia.
Cold War Resurgence 00:14:25
He is the bogeyman for everything.
They claim that they are interfering in the U.S. elections and that Trump was colluding with them.
But there are real questions about China now.
I think they should have been asked much earlier.
And one of the things that I thought was weird was that the Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, did you know that he's been to China 30 times?
30 times?
I don't even know if I've visited my in-laws 30 times over the course of my marriage.
Maybe I shouldn't give away personal details like that, but think about 30 times.
That's very odd.
And of course, he's a bit of a communist in his own way.
We'll talk a little bit about that.
Here's a clip from the debate where he was asked about, I don't know, some fibbing he did.
He was asked about a statement he made about communist China.
Take a look at this.
Governor Walls, you said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly Tiananmen Square protests in the spring of 1989.
But Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of that year.
Can you explain that discrepancy?
Yeah, well, and to the folks out there who didn't get at the top of this, look, I grew up in small rural Nebraska, a town of 400, town that you rode your bike with your buddies till the streetlights come on, and I'm proud of that service.
I joined the National Guard at 17, worked on family farms, and then I used the GI Bill.
to become a teacher, passionate about it, a young teacher.
My first year out, I got the opportunity in the summer of 89 to travel to China, 35 years ago, be able to do that.
I came back home and then started a program to take young people there.
We would take basketball teams, we would take baseball teams, we would take dancers, and we would go back and forth to China.
The issue for that was to try and learn.
Now, look, my community knows who I am.
They saw where I was at.
They, look, I will be the first to tell you, I have poured my heart into my community.
I've tried to do the best I can, but I've not been perfect.
And I'm a knucklehead at times, but it's always been about that.
Those same people elected me to Congress for 12 years.
And in Congress, I was one of the most bipartisan people working on things like farm bills that we got done, working on veterans benefits.
And then the people of Minnesota were able to elect me to governor twice.
So look, my commitment has been from the beginning to make sure that I'm there for the people, to make sure that I get this right.
I will say more than anything.
Many times I will talk a lot.
I will get caught up in the rhetoric.
But being there, the impact it made, the difference it made in my life, I learned a lot about China.
I hear the critiques of this.
I would make the case that Donald Trump should have come on one of those trips with us.
I guarantee you he wouldn't be praising Xi Jinping about COVID.
And I guarantee you, he wouldn't start a trade war that he ends up losing.
So this is about trying to understand the world.
It's about trying to do the best you can for your community.
And then it's putting yourself out there and letting your folks understand what it is.
My commitment, whether it be through teaching, which I was good at, or whether it was being a good soldier or was being a good member of Congress, those are the things that I think are the values that people care about.
Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was, can you explain the dispency?
All I said on this was, is I got there that summer and misspoke on this.
So I will just, that's what I've said.
So I was in Hong Kong and China during the democracy protests went in.
And from that, I learned a lot of what needed to be in governance.
Well, there he is.
Tim Walz.
He didn't really answer the question.
He was called on it a little bit.
He used the opportunity to basically give a biographical speech.
But what is it with Tim Walz?
Was it just a cultural exchange?
When he said he went there to learn, who was he learning from?
Because of course, especially back in the 80s and 90s, when you visited China, you were handled.
You weren't free to go and do your own things.
Is Tim Walz too pro-CCP, Chinese Communist Party?
He had a shot at Xi Jinping there.
Is that just for show?
As you know, in Canada, we've had a massive inquiry into Chinese influence, 11 members of parliament, over 160 memos to our own prime minister about Chinese influence, most of which he ignored.
Joining us how to talk about this is Xi Van Fleet, who herself grew up under communist China before coming to America and being an advocate for freedom.
Xi, it's great to see you again.
Well, thank you for having me back.
Well, it's a pleasure.
And I need your help to crack the code here.
I don't know that much about Tim Walz.
I don't think most people do.
He's from Minnesota, which isn't really in the headlines a lot.
I was startled to hear he went back and forth to China 30 times.
He claims it was just student exchanges and cultural exchanges.
I don't know.
I think that when dictatorships have exchanges like that, it's either for propaganda reasons or to recruit spies, either witting or unwitting.
What do you think of all that?
Well, that is a softball question.
You know it.
And by the way, they just found out that he did not go to China for 30 times.
He went China for about 15 times.
Why would he lie about it?
It's just, it's kind of weird.
Yeah.
The only thing we can say is that he's just a habitual liar.
So it is important to know the background.
So he went to China in 1989.
I came out of China in 1986.
China was still kind of starting to open.
And we started to have Americans or Westerners come to college most of the time in university to teach.
And very few would be allowed to teach in high school.
That's where he went.
And that's the whole teaching trip was organized by Harvard, knowing as really the university that's most pro-CTP since the 30s, 30s.
So he was organized.
He was part of that organization that was sent to Beijing, sent to China.
And I have to tell you, the Chinese government back then, especially back then, they have to make sure who they are getting.
And there must be a visiting going on.
And he must pass their examination and say that, okay, this guy looks like he's going to be a useful idiot.
It turned out he's not just a useful idiot.
He's a true believer.
He absolutely loved what he saw.
And he described China as the communism is the system that's so fair that everyone had the same thing.
He must be blind because not everyone had the same thing.
The ruling class have everything.
The average people have nothing.
And back then, in 1989, it was obvious that there was absolutely two classes and he did not see that.
No, he saw it.
He loved it.
And so back in China, back to the United States, he organized student trips.
And he told his students, stop being very American.
Go there and learn about China.
He's not talking about China.
He's talking about the system.
He loved it.
So I will categorize him as a true believer.
He really found that himself so lined up with not just communism, but Maoism.
So he is a communist, a Maoist through and through.
Wow.
You know, one of the interesting things about Kamala Harris, independent observers noted that she was the most left-wing senator in the entire U.S. Senate, even to the left of Bernie Sanders.
That wasn't a partisan ranking.
You can actually sort of measure these things based on what they support, what bills they support.
So Harris herself is more communist than Bernie Sanders.
And it seems like Tim Waltz, I mean, he calls himself, oh, I'm just a knucklehead.
I think he's going for that goofy, lovable thing.
I think he actually is a bit of a knucklehead.
You use the word useful idiot.
But I think like Kamala Harris, he sort of is a communist.
Do you have any more details about either his statements or his policies?
I mean, I know he's an extremist on transgenderism.
He is a big believer in the Democrat version of replacement migration, where you bring in an enormous number of migrants who then vote Democrat to replace sort of American voters.
In Minnesota, that's often Somalis and others like that.
Those are a few of the things I know about him.
Are there other things about him that you can tell our viewers?
Yeah, you said a lot already, but also his connection with CCP is really, really alarming.
And they did not ask his question, why would you pick your wedding day as June 4th, the Tian Square massacre, when tens of thousands of students were murdered by the CCP, broadcast to the whole world to see?
He chose that as his wedding day and brought his wife to Tian Square, where the massacre took place at the wedding anniversary.
And that is something that people need to know.
This is alarming.
And who would pick a day like that for their wedding day, except you really want to celebrate it?
So his connection with CCP is really, really troublesome.
And I think that American people deserve to know.
We not only have two communists running as nominee for the Communist Democratic Party, but we have something who really, really pro-CCP.
And so, and I think, I think there's an investigation going on about Tim Watts, and we should expose it as much as we can to the American people.
This is a dangerous person.
You know, it's incredible you mentioned about, I mean, and it was his wife who said that he chose the wedding day to be on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square because it was so memorable.
That's so shocking and bizarre that, I mean, that would be like saying, I want to get married on 9-11.
Exactly.
And go to the Ground Zero for your wedding anniversary.
Yeah, to go there for a wedding trip, like an anniversary trip is crazy.
And again, that's like Bernie Sanders.
Bernie Sanders, for his honeymoon, went to the Soviet Union at Moscow.
Yeah, we have so many communists.
I think at this time, we should not be shy, calling them out.
They are communists.
They absolutely, just like, and we can see not just their narrative, but also their policies.
He hates, he absolutely hates First Amendment.
And he said that.
We can watch it on the clips that now is going around that he wants to really handle, take care of misinformation.
And for that, we can't have free speech.
And he is not for the Second Amendment.
He absolutely wants to disarm the population.
That's exactly what the CCP did.
And transgender, okay, there's no transgenderism back in China when I grew up, but Mao also wanted to wipe out the gender difference.
And for him, it is to get rid of toxic femininity.
So because it's not revolutionary, it's bourgeois.
So we, as a young girl, and we were taught that there's no difference between men and women.
What men can do, we can do better.
So we were taught to dress like men, think like men, talk like men.
Back then, look at the picture.
Men and women dress so much alike, there's no difference.
And so the transgender is just an improvement of the same thing.
It's absolutely Maoism.
That's such a good point.
Hey, you mentioned that Tim Walz.
I mean, that's a whole thing right now in the Democratic Party.
John Kerry also said he thinks we need to rip up the First Amendment.
Here's that clip of Tim Walz saying he wants to censor misinformation.
Of course, he gets to decide what's misinformation or not.
Here's the clip of Tim Walz saying that.
I think we need to push back on this.
There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.
I want to talk to you about the use of the word communist because I remember for a long time, I didn't use the word communist to describe people on the other side of the aisle because I thought it sounded over the top.
Maybe it sounded a little bit McCarthyist, that I was being, it was exaggerating, and maybe they weren't that bad.
Like it, it felt almost like a cartoonish insult.
But now I see it.
And I see it partly because I've spent time with Dr. James Lindsay, and he explains how what the deep communist ideas are.
And just because we hear them in an American accent instead of a Russian accent or a Chinese accent, doesn't mean it's any less communist.
Like one of the things that Kamala Harris says over and over again is to build a, is to act unburdened by the past as in to start again from squares to to forget the past, to throw out the four olds, the old customs, the old beliefs, all the old, you know, Mao wanted to recreate man in a new image, Stalin the same thing, destroy churches, destroy old ideas.
That's what Kamala Harris is unburdened by the past clip.
It's not even a clip.
She says it all the time.
Alex Jones' Omniskepticism 00:08:09
I think that it's communism.
It is.
It is.
Okay, I have to tell you the story.
When I started to speak up, that was 2021, after my comment in a school board meeting went viral.
And I started to tell people this is communism.
CRT is communism.
We are having a Chinese style cultural revolution.
Even my husband said, don't use the word communism or communist.
And I think people will think, and you're kind of crazy.
And people will think that communism associated with the Cold War.
And a lot of people think we defeated communism.
It's no more.
But I said, this is communism because this is exactly what I experienced in China.
And that's communism.
So I stick to it.
And I use this word, look at today.
Look at today.
People understand it is communism.
And so since the day before, I started this tweet.
So I'm going to tweet it every day until election day.
It is memes about now the memes.
There are so many memes they created and depicting Kamala Harris as a communist.
I've got some of those.
I'm so glad.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, and Trump called Harris Comrade Kamala.
It's great.
It's wonderful.
It is what it is.
Communism.
Here's the first one.
I'll read it out to our viewers.
You said, from today till the election day, I will post a commi meme daily.
Please keep me supplied with new memes.
Thank you.
And there's a picture, and it actually makes you look quite beautiful, but it is in that Soviet style with the sun rising.
And like that is such a classic communist propaganda photo.
Put it back on the screen just for one more second, Olivia.
And the caption is: vote joyful, Kamala.
Now, joyful, that's a phrase that sometimes is used in communism too.
Be happy, people.
Be joyful in your labors.
Tell me why that is such an iconic meme there.
Oh, you have to be joyful.
It's a requirement.
If you somehow, there is a person.
This is absolutely true.
There is a person who was condemned as counter-revolutionary because he seldom smiles.
And his co-worker said, he seldom smiles because he hates communism.
He hates our system.
And he gets imprisoned.
You've got to be joyful.
You have to be joyful.
It's not an option.
Wow.
I mean, that reminds me of the World Economic Forum saying you'll have nothing and you'll be happy.
No, change it.
Change it.
You will have nothing and you must be happy.
You must be happy.
You must be.
That's incredible.
Well, She, I want to remind our viewers of your book, which came out a few months ago, called Mao's America, a survivor's warning.
And you can get that on Amazon, am I right?
Yes, or Barnes and Noble or any of your major booksellers.
Right on.
Well, I recommend it because, again, as you were saying, and as your husband mentioned to you, and as I said myself, calling people a communist is not something our side does.
The other side calls everyone they don't like a Nazi or whatever.
Oh, Nazi and Hitler.
Yeah.
And now voices mouth.
And it's almost never true, but they really are communists by their own words and their deeds.
So I'm glad you're calling them out.
Great to see you again, She.
Keep up the fight.
Definitely.
Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
There you have it.
She Van Fleet.
And again, her book is called Mao's America, a survivor's warning.
Stay with us.
more ahead.
Hey, welcome back.
Your letters to me about my trip to Austin to visit Alex Jones.
Tiny Go Home says, we need to make sure Infowars sticks around.
Yeah, I mean, he lost that defamation case for over a billion dollars, which doesn't make a lot of sense.
I mean, like I mentioned, when Libya blew up that plane over Lockerbie and paid a multi-billion dollar settlement, it worked out to $10 million a family for murdering them.
I don't know how mocking parents or criticizing parents or challenging parents, however unfortunate or bad that may be, I don't know how that's worth 50 million a person.
I just don't get it.
I think it was a political form of law fire.
I'm not even quite sure how it's defamation, but those are the courts these days in the States.
Howie X says, I lost my respect for rebel news now.
Going to a conspiracy theorist that got sued for lies is not a good look for rebel news.
Listen, I don't agree with everything that Alex Jones says.
I also point out that he has admitted he got it wrong and apologized to the families.
I saw that with my own eyes.
It was on TV.
I don't agree with everything he says.
I don't agree with everything my own family says.
They don't agree with every word I say.
Within our company, we have disagreements.
The reason I think that Alex Jones is important is because he's a leader in citizen journalism, and he's what I call an omniskeptic.
I don't know if you watched that part of my interview with him when I said this, you know, we always want to get things right.
But if you're going to make a mistake, you could be too gullible and believe too many authorities, or you can be too skeptical and doubt too many authorities.
Which do you think is the greater problem?
In Canada, you had absolute obedience to authority, to colleges of physicians and surgeons, to the media, to politicians, to celebrities.
Everyone was so obedient, we were overly gullible.
Alex Jones is on the other side of the spectrum.
He is an omniskeptic.
He'll look at everything with a skeptical eye.
And sometimes those positions are good, each of those positions.
If we had to choose, I mean, obviously we want to get it right every time.
But if you had, if you said to me, Ezra, do we need more journalists who believe everything?
Or do we need more journalists who doubt everything?
I'd say we need a lot more doubters.
That's my view on Alex Jones.
Plus, I like the guy.
I find him well-read, entertaining, provocative.
It's not my style.
I have my own style, which you see me express every day.
Bruce Acheson said, hi, Ezra.
What a great story you had tonight.
Both InfoWars interviews are must-watch programming, especially for Americans.
The hard left are getting dangerous and desperate.
They also don't have qualms about using dirty tricks and even physical violence to accomplish their ends.
As a donor to Rebel News, may I suggest that you put this episode outside the paywall?
What you said on the show is what all patriots and undecided voters must hear.
I hope you do that.
Yours in a Radway.
Thanks for that.
You know, I'm glad they were interested in my brief trip to Sao Paulo.
I had never been to a giant free speech rally before.
I mean, I hate to say it, but if we tried to get a free speech rally going in Ottawa or Toronto or Calgary or Vancouver, I think we'd be lucky to get a few hundred people out.
If there was a real crisis, maybe we get a few thousand people out, and that would be a huge success.
A rally for free speech, it's fairly, you know, idealistic and it's not very concrete.
It's a theoretical idea.
And even if it was manifested concretely, like if Twitter was banned, would you really get thousands of people out?
I don't know.
In Sao Paulo, 200,000 people marched.
That blew me away.
And I knew Infowars would be interested in that.
Well, that's the show for today.
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.
Good night.
