But you can also see what the dissidents are like. Tommy Robinson being one dissident. They had things there, people who call themselves blade runners.
Who go out with metal cutting saws, who take down those surveillance cameras in less than a minute. We don't approve of the blade runners. No, no, we absolutely don't. That's right.
It's amazing to see. I mean, remember what Orwell said. if there's any hope, it's with the proles.
Tommy used to work for Rebel News back in the day. I mentioned we had some colorful characters. You name it, they passed the doors of Rebel News. You and Menzies, too. Oh, he's still with us. He's the best.
How many times have you been arrested? Just once. Just once. You have to work on that. But I was arrested. I was on the street near my neighborhood. I live in a fairly Jewish— This is in Toronto?
Let me tell you what went down there, because it bothers me to this day. Every week, some Jews would wave Israeli and Canadian flags for the hostages who were being held by Hamas. in a Jewish neighborhood, on a Jewish street corner. It was an attempt to be positive. And they've been doing that for more than a year.
A few months ago, Hamas supporters were driving all the way in from far away every Sunday on the opposite side of the street to have a counter demonstration with anti-Semitic signs, loudspeakers shouting insane, you know, from the river to the sea, swastikas. And then one day, They had someone reenact Yahya Sinwar's final moments. He was the head of Hamas, who was found in a chair.
So they brought this bloody chair and this guy with a... How was he killed? He was killed by... I don't know what finally did him in, but there was a drone video of his final moments. I see. So they were reenacting. It would be like reenacting a Hitler's bunker or something. And I just thought, this is crazy. And there were so many cops there. And I'm not particularly a fan of hate speech laws.
Yeah, right. But they're on the books. Yeah, they're appalling. And I don't know what more you need. So I went there just to take a pic. I didn't go there to counter protests. This is in my neighborhood. I saw it on social media. Had you been at those sorts of protests before? I had been to record because it's just astonishing. But that day, I was at home.
I had no plans to go because it's every single weekend. But I thought— are they really reenacting this Hamas moment? So I went there, and I said to the cops, I've got to take a picture of that. And the first cops sort of escorted me in, and when the Hamas types objected, they sort of pushed me out, which I didn't like.
Why do they protest if you can't take a picture of it? Protest at home. I was escorted away. I'm on the public sidewalk in my neighborhood. There's a wall of 30 cops between me and the Hamas types. And I'm sort of fussed because the cops pushed me away. But I'll never push a cop. I'm not that dumb. And then the top cop says, those protesters object to you being here. I said, I don't care.
He said, your presence could incite them to breach the peace. Oh, yeah. He said, well, that's on them. That's for sure. Public sidewalk, my neighborhood. The cops said, if you don't leave now, I'm arresting you. I said— On what grounds? On your presence here is inciting them to breach the peace. Yeah, that's a crime. It is not a crime.
In fact, I was not charged, but I was handcuffed, frog-marched to a police car, searched, put in the back of the police car, driven to jail, searched again, put in a cell. What was that like? Well, I knew it was BS. And my friend, my colleague, David Menzies— Were you mad at the cops? I was very mad at the cops who arrested me.
The ones who obeyed and handcuffed me, I'm not going to be mad at them. They were doing their job. When I was at the jail, you know, the guys in the jail had nothing to do with my arrest, so I was lighthearted. You know, I mean— And that's another thing about being in jail I've learned from Tommy Robinson, is you are at the mercy of these guards. You are at the physical mercy of them.
To me, that's the most terrifying thing about prison, is that they can do whatever they want to you. And what are you going to say about it? What are you going to do about it? Especially if nobody can visit you. That's right. Who can communicate. Exactly right. So... I knew I would be out in a matter of hours because they didn't actually charge me with anything. Right, right.
So you weren't worried particularly? No, because I had been through this five times with David Menzies. Right, right, right. Menzies walked up to— Tell us, tell everybody who Menzies is. Rebel News has some colorful characters. One of my favorites is a guy named David Menzies. He's in his early 60s. He wears a fedora. He's got an old-fashioned style.
He loves old pop culture references from the 70s. The guy's a character. Mm-hmm.
David, and how many journalists would dare cover that? Yeah, well, him. Yeah. David went up to... Our deputy prime minister at the time, Christia Freeland, on a public sidewalk at a public event. And it was about Iran. And the liberals hadn't banned a certain Iranian terror group. And so David, with his lanyard and mic, like there's no—everyone knew who he was.
He went up to her and said, will you ban this group? And the RCMP swarmed him, pushed him against the wall and said, stop assaulting. Yeah, right. And they arrested him. If the cameras hadn't been there, we all saw that the police assaulted David. They said David assaulted the police. And they charged him with assault. When they saw that we caught it on tape, they let him go.
David's been arrested so many times. During the pandemic, David went outside. a Christmas party where Justin Trudeau was going to fundraise with the Liberal Party. But this was when we weren't supposed to have Christmas parties. It was during the lockdown. No, you weren't supposed to have Christmas parties. And that was David's one question.
