Full Episode
There's a battle between Tommy Robinson and the government of the United Kingdom over what is true.
They've got Tommy in isolation.
That's their strategy. Do you know how he's doing? He's deteriorating. That's another thing about being in jail I've learned from Tommy Robinson is you are at the mercy of these guards.
How would you describe the World Economic Forum?
When I go to the UK, I see what our future will be five years down the road if we don't change course. Let me tell you what's terrifying about that.
Hello, everybody. I'm sitting here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada today, and my guest is Ezra Levant, and Ezra Levant is the perpetrator of Rebel News, which was an early adopter of social media technology on the news front, one of Canada's earliest adopters, and really one of the earliest adopters in the world, and he's been rabble-rousing for decades.
like a good depends on how you count it but 10 to 15 years and we first came to each other's attention when i was participating in a free speech debacle at the university of toronto just after my comments about canada's infamous bill c-16 my well-reasoned comments i might add uh came to wide public attention and caused a furor that never ended and uh
Rebel News backed me in that enterprise and helped publicize what was happening and supported my research financially for a year or so at the University of Toronto when the federal government decided that I wasn't worth supporting anymore despite my stellar research background and unbroken history of previous funding.
Anyways, I got a chance to talk to Ezra and so we did a bit of walking down memory lane talking about, well, the strange situation that obtains in Canada, not least with regard to the new likely liberal leader, Mark Carney. We talked about the WEF and their machinations. We talked a fair bit about Tommy Robinson, a political prisoner in the UK. I did two interviews with him, and Ezra worked.
