525. The War on Speech—and Those Who Dare to Fight It | Ezra Levant

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.

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.
