Starting point is 00:00:22 about the U.S. Navy having some research group at the University of Arkansas, look for Canadian extremists. Why? I mean, shouldn't you concentrate on China?

Starting point is 00:02:00 topics we want to hit. But I have to start with this. A reporter asked him yesterday, could you please wear a mask? And here's what he said. Yeah, when I'm talking to the TV camera, I'm not going to wear a mask, and all of us have been immunized. So you're welcome to step away, if you like. The whole point of a vaccine. CDC guidance is what we're following. Yeah, good for you. Ted Cruz, welcome to the program.
Starting point is 00:02:29 How are you, Ted? Glenn, good morning. Good to be with you. Thank you. I want to talk to you about the border. We now have confirmation that it's not only the Dallas Convention Center, but they are now storing people. in Pecos, Texas, Midland, Carrizo Springs, two Texas military bases, plus 1,400 are going to be housed now at the San Diego Convention Center.
Starting point is 00:02:59 What's happening, Ted? It is an absolute crisis at the border, and it's getting worse and worse every day. They have. Go ahead. It's the direct result of political decisions made by Joe Biden and his administration. They cause this crisis and their political decisions continue to make it worse. Do you think, I mean, honestly, I was talking to a farmer the other day and when he saw what the president and his administration did with the farm relief bill and said, hey, we're going to give it to black farmers and minority farmers and not necessarily white, he said, Glenn, I just, there's no other way for me to view that other than intentional divisiveness. He said there's nothing more divisive than that, especially for a community of farmers, where everybody is helping each other. Everybody's on the same size.
Starting point is 00:03:52 It doesn't matter what color you are. The same thing here. Is this just sheer incompetence? Or did they know this was going to happen and they did it anyway? It's something worse than that, which is it's rabid partisanship that blinds them to everything else. this administration is driven by the hard left. The agenda is set by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and AOC, and their view on the border is they support open borders.
Starting point is 00:04:22 They view ICE. You know, Kamala Harris said ICE law enforcement are the equivalent of KKK or stormtroopers. That's their view. And so Joe Biden got elected president. As soon as he gets sworn in, in his first week, he halted construction of the border wall. he reinstituted the failed policy of catch and release. So now when we catch an illegal immigrant, we let them go, we give them a court date sometime in the future,
Starting point is 00:04:48 and we know a whole lot of them are never coming back to be seen again. And most indefensibly, he ended the remain in Mexico policy. Now, what is the remain in Mexico policy? It was a big foreign policy victory of the Trump administration, where President Trump negotiated with Mexico, and Mexico agreed that illegal, immigrants from Central America who had applied for asylum in the United States would remain in Mexico while the cases proceeded. And it was working and it was lowering the numbers dramatically. And the Biden administration is so ideological they didn't care.
Starting point is 00:05:23 And they've produced, we are already seeing right now, the highest number of illegal immigrants in 20 years on the southern border. And HHS has in their custody 11,551 children. And that's just HHS. They said, you know, Ted, you and I were down to the border years ago under Obama. And you and I both know. And I called Chuck Todd myself and said, hey, you've got to look into this. They were not interested in the, quote, cages that were holding children. Now they're not interested again.
Starting point is 00:06:03 In fact, they're making the argument that this is humanitarian. This is the right thing to do to keep them in cages. That is exactly right. For four years of the Trump presidency, Democrats in the media talked every day about kids in cages. What they ignored is that Barack Obama built the cages. You and I both went to those cages during the Obama administration. They utterly ignored that. And now Joe Biden is making the cages bigger and they're more full.
Starting point is 00:06:35 And I'll tell you, it is truly a. a catastrophe. You take a facility like the Donna facility in South Texas. The Donna facility has a capacity of 250 people. It was built to house 250 detainees. It currently has nearly 4,000. Oh my gosh. That is 500% in excess of its capacity. And so there's a reason why the Biden administration is trying to hide it. You know, I'm flying down to the border tonight and I'm bringing 18 senators down to the border to see firsthand, what's happening. The Biden administration is refusing to allow press to join us. Fox News wanted to embed with us, ABC News wanted to embed with us, and the Biden administration has a total press blackout.
Starting point is 00:07:24 They won't allow reporters in, and Glenn, their justification is laughable on its face. They say the reason they won't allow reporters in is because reporters might have COVID. And so one cameraman, a pool cameraman, they said, nope, too big of COVID-Ribuster. we can't let the guy with a camera in, and it's because they want to hide the absolute disaster they've created. Ted, bring your phone. Can you bring your phone in there? I'm going to bring my phone, and we'll see what they do.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I expect some fireworks because the Biden administration is desperately trying to cover this up. By the way, we went and looked. So I've been down to the border in the Trump administration. They allowed media in and cameras in. I've been down to the border in the Obama administration. They allowed media in and cameras in.
Starting point is 00:08:10 By the way, George W. Bush, they allowed media and cameras in to the facilities, then Bill Clinton, they allowed media in. It is only Joe Biden that engages in this cover-up. I think too many of the press are still being docile and defenders
Starting point is 00:08:26 of him while they're and they're making arguments that are facially absurd. You want to talk about COVID-19? Glenn, I'm going to give you a stunning statistic of the illegal immigrants that are being released in Harlan
Starting point is 00:08:41 in Texas. They are testing positive for COVID-19 at a rate seven times higher than the U.S. population. And they're just releasing these people. They're letting them go. Many of them, they're not even testing. I mean, it is the reports, and I'm going to go see it tonight and tomorrow, but the reports are that the kids are packed in so tight that they're sleeping on their sides because they can't even lay down flat. And that in the midst of the middle of the kids, a pandemic, that is the direct result of the decisions Joe Biden has made. And these kids, little boys, little girls who are being handed over to human traffickers, these guys are violent criminals, they're physically assaulting these children, they're sexually assaulting
Starting point is 00:09:28 these children, and it is not humane, it is not compassionate to adopt policies that result in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of little boys and little girls being a beautiful, used by human traffickers. Ted, I'd love to have you on tomorrow. I don't know where your plan is, but after you see the camp, we'd love to have you back on. We'll definitely do it. Okay. Real quick, I have to ask you two more questions.
Starting point is 00:09:53 First of all, you said, HR1, this is a quote, the most dangerous bill this committee has ever considered. Yes. So this bill, which many of us are calling the Corrupt Politicians Act, is designed to entrench and keep corrupt politicians in office forever. It's designed to keep democratic control of the federal government for the next 100 years. How do they do that? It's a total federal takeover of all of our election.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Absolutely unconstitutional. It's completely unconstitutional, but it's also deliberately dangerous. It invites and creates massive voter fraud. How does it do it? It repeals virtually every state voter integrity law. So, for example, 29 states require voter ID. The Corrupt Politicians Act repeals all of those laws, says it's illegal to require ID to vote. That's an invitation to fraud, and it's intended to be that.
Starting point is 00:10:54 It requires universal mail-in voting, which is another wide opportunity for fraud, and it requires ballot harvesting. 31 states prohibit ballot harvesting, which is where you have paid political operatives going, say, to a nursing home and collecting hundreds. of ballots, many from people who may no longer be competent to make those decisions. And it invites fraud if you have someone from the DNC and gosh, you know, grandpa votes the wrong way and votes Republican, they can just throw that ballot in the trash and only mail in the Democratic ones. Not only that, it mandates immediate registration of essentially everyone, anyone who interacts with the government. So if you get a welfare check, if you get an unemployment check, if you get a driver's license, if you attend a public,
Starting point is 00:11:40 college or university, you're automatically registered to vote. They know that will result in registering millions of illegal aliens, not just a couple, but millions. And that is because the Democrats want millions of illegal aliens to vote. And on top of that, it mandates it strikes down all the state laws restricting criminals from voting, restricting felons from voting. It says the instant anyone gets out of prison, they're entitled to vote, no matter what the state law is. And I guess the Democrats have made the decision that if millions of illegal
Starting point is 00:12:15 immigrants and millions of criminals are able to vote, they're going to vote for Democrats, and that's going to keep them in power. This is a dangerous bill. They've already said that they're spinning it as the Republicans are just trying to take away your right to vote. That's how they're spinning it. And they're starting to talk about the filibuster. Now we have, I view it as a threat from the president to the Senate to pass these common sense gun reforms. Are they, I mean, is there, is it unreasonable to think that they'll take away the filibuster and that they are coming for all of the guns? I think there is a very serious risk on both of those.
Starting point is 00:13:01 The filibuster right now, as you know, we have a 50-50 Senate. if all of the Democrats stand together, they can end the filibuster. Right now, it takes 60 votes to pass legislation, but if all the Democrats stand together, they can do it. 48 of them have already said they will. There are only two Democrats who even claim they will oppose it. It is Joe Manchin from West Virginia and Kirsten Cinema from Arizona. I'll tell you, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are reigning down a world of hurt.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I can tell you, I've served in the Senate nine years with Joe Manchin. he's a very nice man, he's very affable and likable. In nine years, he has never once stood up to Chuck Schumer on any issue that mattered when he was the deciding vote. And so the pattern we've seen from him is he finds some cute way to say he didn't give in, but let Schumer do exactly what he wants. And I think there's a real risk of that on the filibuster. And if they do that, their number one priority is the Corrupt Politicians Act
Starting point is 00:14:00 because that keeps them in power forever. Yeah. But you better believe packing the U.S. Supreme Court is right behind that. Making D.C. a state is right behind that and coming after our guns. As you know, Glenn, when Joe Biden was asked, if you win, does that mean you're coming after the guns? And his answer was bingo. That's what they intend to do. Thank you. Ted Cruz. Senator Ted Cruz for the great state of Texas. We'll talk to you tomorrow after you've visited the cages and can tell us really what's going on. down on the border. Thank you so much, Ted. Thank you. God bless. You bet. Senator Ted Cruz. The best of the Glenn Beck program. I've been telling you about rec tech now for, gosh, it's been a year.
Starting point is 00:14:58 And I have to tell you, I am as happy with my rec tech as I was the day it arrived. I still, I had somebody come under my back porch and said, what kind of grill is that? I said, hey, a grill. That's a wreck tech. It is amazing. Now, Dallas, it's warm. even if it's a little cold out where you are, you don't have to stand outside to grill.
Starting point is 00:15:20 You're going to be mighty uncomfortable in Minnesota, but not with a rec tech. Sleak and sturdy, built from stainless steel, it's got smart grill technology, which means it automatically adjust to make sure you get the perfect temperature at all times. You can monitor and control it from an app, so you're inside while it's grilling and smoking
Starting point is 00:15:40 or even baking outside. RecTech wins the day. Follow rec tech on all social media. Sign up for their newsletter at rec tech with a cue at the end. RecTech.com. That's R-E-C-T-E-Q.com. The accused Boulder supermarket gunman Ahmed al-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-L-A. Anyway, Alyssa.
Starting point is 00:16:04 What is this? It's Ahmed Al-A-Law-A-L-Lissa. I love that. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? the press wants you to know he's a loner he's a lone wolf he just lived in his family's basement never had a girlfriend uh usami al musa elissa elissa's brother-in-law said that the shooter lived in the basement of his family's home there in colorado never had a lot of friends he said every time i visited with my wife's family he would always sit away from everyone else not saying anything to anyone it was really strange. He was a loner just sitting to the side, not with us. He works with his family and his brothers,
Starting point is 00:16:49 but there were never any girlfriends and not many friends. Oh, man. Even his mother said this. When he was arrested for the massacre, this is what his mother said. He has a reputation of being stupid, not smart. Imagine your mom's saying that about you? Yeah, my son.
Starting point is 00:17:11 What a dummy. he's not like a proper Muslim. I don't even know what kind of Muslim he was. He didn't go to the mosque I go to. Just odd coming from a mom. That's your first statement? Really? Well, I think though, when your son has murdered 10 people,
Starting point is 00:17:31 probably the best thing you can do is make him not responsible for it because he's dumb or he's got an illness or whatever the case may be. I mean, that's your sort of backup reasoning. and certainly you don't want to blame it on your faith. So you're going to say he wasn't a good Muslim. Your first thing is, I mean, think about the parents. So they're always like, we didn't see this coming. We have no idea.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Not, yep, he's been known to be a dummy for a long time. People might think maybe the parenting was an issue here in this particular situation. Hey, dummy, get back into the basement. Now, we. know that he is a Muslim. However, Twitter has said that calling him a white Christian terrorist
Starting point is 00:18:20 have you read this? Quote, doesn't violate its misinformation policies. Twitter told Newsweek that characterizing accused mass murder Ahmed Aloui is as a
Starting point is 00:18:39 white Christian terrorist does not violate its misinformation policies, even though he is from Syria and has been identified as a Muslim. Prior to the suspect's identity being made public, the magazine said numerous Twitter users assumed the suspect was white and characterized the massacre as another example of racial injustice and white supremacy in the United States. And lo and behold, that white supremacy narrative blew up. in all of the Twitter users faces.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Some users have deleted their tweets, calling him white. Others have defended their claims, saying they were based on his skin color rather than his ethnicity. Newsweek put the misleading posts to Twitter. Social network has been accused of left-wing bias and anti-Christian prejudice, but they said, no, we're not taking any action on these. they're not in violation of the Twitter rules. We will not take action on every instance of misinformation. Currently our misinformation rules cover COVID-19 misinformation, synthetic and manipulated media, and civic integrity.
Starting point is 00:19:56 So you call a guy, you know, a white mass murderer, a white Christian, even though he's a Syrian Muslim, that's not important. No. That's not important misinformation. So the cops went and they visited his home. He was living in an $800,000 home in the basement. And we're starting to get a real look at this guy.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Clearly he was mentally ill. He surrendered, you know, when he surrendered, he's like, I surrender, I surrender, and I'm naked. Because he really was in his underpants. The police have no idea why he. He stripped down. But apparently he just, he was standing there and he started taking off his clothes to his underwear. And then he was like, I'm naked. I surrender.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Maybe because he thought that I want them to see that, you know, I'm not carrying a gun. Carrying a weapon. Which it's odd to do after a shooting. But, you know, maybe he didn't want to necessarily be just shot. Correct. He wanted to be able to surrender for some reason. Now, according to police, um, elicist. when he was 17 blacked out and violently assaulted a classmate who had called him a terrorist.
Starting point is 00:21:16 The report says Alyssa attacked another student who had said, he said, was bullying him. He beat him and left him with a red and swollen face and his eye partially closed. The report claims that Kim Ros, the other guy, was crying and throwing up when his father arrived and threatened to press charges. Alyssa said he couldn't take being bullied anymore, so he blacked out and rushed him. I blacked out and rushed him. Really? Hmm. He claimed that Kinrose called him racist name, called him a terrorist, even took a video of him and put it on Snapchat.
Starting point is 00:21:57 He was charged with a misdemeanor for the attack. Apparently, he got bullied a lot in high school. So, you know, there you go. There's the white culture for you. One of the, he was on a wrestling team. One of the wrestlers said he was violent and scary to be around. He, apparently, in his senior year, they had wrestle-offs to see who would make varsity, and he lost his match, but he quit the team and yelled out in the wrestling room that he was going to kill everybody.
Starting point is 00:22:35 and nobody did anything about it. I don't know how it happens. How is that happening? The guy is violent. He threatens his classmates. I'm going to kill everyone. Your kid that eats their peanut butter sandwich into the shape of a gun, they go to jail.
Starting point is 00:22:56 But this guy, how is this happening? It happened again. That's the story in Florida. Now he was 17 years old at the time. time. He's not 17 now, but nothing to see here. Nothing to see here.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Lindsay Graham said the majority of the Senate will reject Biden's assault weapons ban, but I'm not sure. And I don't think that this is the majority of the Senate will look. That's interesting. I guess all 50 Republicans and Joe Manchin is a majority.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Yeah, maybe. And of course, Joe Manchin, not exactly. reliable as Ted Cruz just pointed out on this program. No. And I think this is coming out of order, though. Let me tell you the story that I think, you know, if you don't see this, you are truly blind. And I, you know, I'm a religious nut job, so what do I know? But I can only describe what is happening in our country and our world as evil. the forces of evil have been unleashed and everything is under attack. This isn't just about America. This is about the Western Judeo-Christian way of life.
Starting point is 00:24:19 This is about everything on the line that the West has done. And it is a really well-thought-out plan that has been in operation for a very very well-thought-out plan that has been in operation for a very very, very long time. And I think that, you know, it's like, look at how fast everything has happened in the last 67 days. Look how fast things have happened. You already are questioning your military now, aren't you? You're questioning your military.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Whatever side you're on, you're questioning the brass if you're, uh, if you're a conservative and you're questioning the average soldier if you're a liberal. The military was the last thing that we had that we counted on, that we believed was not political, and they've politicized it. So much so that in about 10 minutes, you're going to hear from a guy who testified in front of Congress what they are doing in our military. It is terrifying how they're accusing our military of being complete nut jobs. They needed to make sure that the military, they could wash people out of the military that are from Red State. This is my theory. I don't have any
Starting point is 00:25:37 no evidence of this other than you know, I just don't believe in this series of coincidence, you know, it's much easier to explain if somebody was sitting back and watching and planning all of this. They've done too much too fast for this just to be happenstance.
Starting point is 00:25:57 So they come in, we have the January 6th deal and what do they do? the FBI comes out with a report saying this is the biggest concern we have really not antifa but that collection of people really the military is now is suspect and it's pretty much everyone who voted republican is an extremist you're a white supremacist christian extremist well that's demonizing half the country what how why would you do that well then you have a shooting you have a crazy guy who shoots up the salon and what do they say it's a right-wing extremist when he wasn't a he was nuts second of all he even said no this had to do with with sex addiction
Starting point is 00:26:55 okay but it didn't matter why the narrative that was important to them at this time was that you were convinced and not you because you're the target that half the country is convinced that those people who live in the crazy red states are just that they're racist and they're crazy and they're afraid they're going to lose their power and they are all gun nuts and they're going to shoot us all up when this guy comes out and he's Syrian and a Muslim, what do they do? They immediately pivot to don't pay attention to the guy, pay attention to the gun, which they didn't do last week, because they haven't cemented in the left's mind entirely that everybody who votes differently is a terrorist.
Starting point is 00:27:51 So they have to paint everyone who is against HR1, against open borders. They have to paint these people as crazy and dangerous. That was going to take some time. They've been thrown off their game. I don't think they were planning on hitting guns this soon. First year, absolutely. When the time came, you bet.
Starting point is 00:28:21 but I don't think they were done focusing America on how bad things are these right-wing extremists. That's how they needed to paint us to silence us and also paint us to get us to give up guns or go to war or be rounded up by, you know, sheriffs all around. Those people who won't give up guns. They need us to respond in violence. ways. And when we don't, they just make it up anyway. You mentioned something I think it was yesterday or the day before that this wasn't necessarily the event that puts this over the line.
Starting point is 00:29:07 They still need a crystal clear cut like event. Correct. Can you explain that? Yeah, they need a Las Vegas. But they need a Las Vegas where the motive is clear. And it's, you know, some. They need a January 6th. And everything they do fosters that kind of feeling in a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:29:31 They are taking away. They're operating as if they have a mandate when they don't have a mandate. This is a clear election where you like moderate. You know what I mean? You come together. You work together. That's the way it would be. They're operating as if this is a mandate.
Starting point is 00:29:47 And then they're calling everyone who disagrees with them. racist, but they've gone an extra step. A dangerous extremist. That's Patriot Act talk. Because I was reminded today that after Sandy Hook, you remember the push for gun control after Sandy Hook, the Democrats had 58 senators when they tried that and couldn't get it through. 58. But it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:30:16 It's thrown them off the game, but it doesn't matter. This is the best of the London. back program. Rebel News.com. Very controversial up in Canada because Canada is a socialist country and they don't really have, they don't have the rights that we have here. And Rebel News is kind of like the Blaze, the Canadian version of the Blaze. I consider a sister organization.
Starting point is 00:30:52 And it's run by Ezra Levant. and he is a brilliant. Ezra, you were a lawyer, right, by trade? Yeah, I was, but I did dabble in politics. But I think journalism, as they say, is upstream from politics. Culture is upstream from politics. Yes. And politicians can only do what they could do in the environment.
Starting point is 00:31:15 And, you know, we have to help shape that environment, help people think things through. I don't think we're that radical. I mean, in the United States, it's called moderate conservatives. I mean, we're sympathetic to Trump. We're skeptical of the Democrats, but look, we're Canadian. We've got that sensibility. Right. I was shocked, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:31:36 When out of the blue light, I get this tip from Arkansas. That's pretty far away from Canada. And it was the strangest thing. I almost didn't believe it. We follow the tip, and we discovered through Freedom of Information documents, the U.S. Navy, the United States Navy, had hired a defense contractor in Little Rock, Arkansas, to work up what they call the cyber forensic analysis of my little news company. Now, I happen to love the U.S. Navy. I think it's a great force for freedom.
Starting point is 00:32:13 And, I mean, I'm no expert, but I think it's the big threat is the Chinese TLA Navy, People's Liberation. They got their fourth aircraft carrier now. I mean, sure, the U.S. Navy, you know, might have some problems with China, but we're talking rebel news.com. Who, my friend. Like, I am the least nautical person. I'm from a landlocked place called Alberta. It's like I'm from Nebraska.
Starting point is 00:32:41 There's no boats where I'm talking. Right. I saw the evidence. I saw the report for the U.S. Navy on you. And the paperwork is astonishing because they don't have anything right. And they are truly painting you as a danger. Yeah. And I didn't understand, look, I've had no interactions in my life with the U.S. Navy.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I've never been to Arkansas, although I'd like to. It looks very pretty. So what are they doing going after me? And it made me think, well, remember how the British intelligence sort of did some the heavy heavy lifting against the Trump campaign. They did some spying in those early days. And I thought, so I thought, well, maybe there's a Canadian angle. And sure enough, this same defense contractor at the University of Arkansas and Little Rock
Starting point is 00:33:36 sold the same dossier, if I could use that word, to the Canadian Armed Forces Special Operations Command. So again, Canada has some challenges. I don't think we're a military challenge. I'm a Canadian citizen. We follow the law. I mean, we're, but I think you're right. We are sort of in the same part of the spectrum as the blaze.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I don't even know if this is legal. It's probably legal for the U.S. Navy to spy on me because I'm not an American. Although it seems weird to me that I'm their big enemy. I don't know if it's legal for Justin Trudeau to have his army spy on me. That probably isn't, right? Access to information requests and freedom of information requests. I got some more. University of Arkansas's defense contractor,
Starting point is 00:34:30 they're stonewalling and started. They gave us a few scraps, but I want to know who ordered this, what was their mission or their mandate, what was the back of, like, how did this even happen that I'm going to the U.S. Navy? I'm really, really curious
Starting point is 00:34:51 how that was set in motion. It doesn't make any sense at all. The two things I could think of is is the Canadian somebody in the Canadian military or Justin Trudeau's office or whatever, are they getting favors done for them by our military?
Starting point is 00:35:15 And in exchange, are they investigating people like us in Canada and can share the information here in the United States? But it's not, it's disturbing because it is not even accurate information. Yeah. Explain some of the inaccuracies here because it's pretty significant. I heard the joke that's, you know, what's an oxymoron, jumbo shrimp, right, right, right, military intelligence. I never liked that joke about military intelligence because I thought, no, military intelligence.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Those are the, those are the smart guys who, you know, crack the codes and counterterrorism. If this is the state of U.S. military intelligence, you guys are in trouble because, I mean, First of all, they say we're a U.S. operation. No, we're not. We love America. We talk about America, but we're based up here in Canada. They say that, you know, sometimes we have what are called micro sites or vanity sites. So, for example, we have a civil liberties campaign.
Starting point is 00:36:21 We talked about this the other day called FighttheFines.com. So if anyone gets a lockdown ticket, we crowdfund a civil liberties lawyer. So we just, instead of me saying, hey, go to rebel news.com slash fight the time. Like instead of remembering, I just remember fight the finds.com. So we have a bunch of these, I call them vanity sites, but they're just forwarding to different pages on our website. So I don't have to remember 100 different URL. That's all they are. And it's, it's like when you come out with a news story and like this, it's, you know, Canadian,
Starting point is 00:36:57 U.S. Navy spies or whatever it would be. So it's easy for people to find it, and it would all be directing back to rebel, Rebel News.com. It would be part of that. Yeah, it's totally normal. Governments do it too, by the way. So, for example, in the story we're talking about, I took all the spy stuff we got, and I put it on a page, and I gave it a nickname, really, Stopspying on Us.com, just so I can remember it for radio interviews. So if you were to go to Stop Spying On Us.com, it'll actually forward you to a Rebel News story about this case, and you can see all these documents for yourself, and you can make your own judgments.
Starting point is 00:37:40 So what, and the reason I tell you that is because this defense contractor said, no, no, no, by using vanity URLs, deceive people, Canada's socialist party, there's a guy named Jagdite Singh who runs our socialist party up here. we disagree with him strenuously. I mean, he's a nice guy personally, but he's like he is far left. He's like Bernie Sanders. Yeah, exactly. He's like the Bernie Sanders of Canada. The theory that the U.S. Navy's defense contractor cooked up was at Rebel News, and I've been conservative my whole life since I was a boy, I mean, right wing,
Starting point is 00:38:30 that my secret mission is to meddle in the Canadian election to get people to vote socialist. And I'm just thinking, do, have they ever, watched a single one of my, that would be like saying, Glenn Beck's secret agenda is to get Bernie Sanders into the White House. They're turned on the show. But I was thinking, why would they write such kooky stuff? Why would they say we're American, not Canadian? Why would they say that our vanity URL, which is really a big nothing, are at deep fake? They use that word deep, we don't eat fake. So those are those forgery videos that look like Tom Cruise. I mean, they're spooky. We don't do that. I don't know how to do that. So we do. And why would they say we're trying to meddle in
Starting point is 00:39:12 the election to get the socialist elected? And I have a theory that they're trying to say rebellus is like one of those Russian troll farms or something. So they can use some national security rationale to sweep us off the internet or even just to go to YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and say, guys, you've got a Russian troll farm. They're meddling in the election. They're deep fakes, American-based. They're trying to interfere. You've got to shut them down. So I think it wasn't actually real spying because it takes five minutes to know we're in Canada.
Starting point is 00:39:47 It takes five minutes to know we don't like the Socialist candidate. I think they were trying to cook up some dossier that they could use to get us knocked off the Internet. I don't find that stretch of imagination. I don't know why this has happened, but I think it's interesting that it happened in the United States. and apparently commissioned by the U.S. Navy, that doesn't make any sense at all. You know, one of the things that one of our presidents that I know you know, Eisenhower, spoke about in his farewell address was everybody remembers in America that he was warning about the vast military industrial complex.
Starting point is 00:40:34 But what the warning was, it was not just. about how these people are going to be now in bed with government and huge dollars are going to be there. He also talked about research and science and educational units, you know, or colleges. And he warned that when you have this kind of money at stake, that people will come up with things, not because they're curious, but because the government wants it. and I'm wondering if this isn't a clear right way or I mean military industrial complex kind of action coming true is somebody wanting this information in Canada and they're doing favors and we're doing favors and they've hired a company that they know will give them the answer that they're looking for. Yeah, and you make a good point that, you know, I found it odd that the University of Arkansas
Starting point is 00:41:40 and Little Rock was involved. I mean, aren't you supposed to be teaching kids? You know, what are you doing? But this is exactly what Eisenhower warned of. Yeah. And part of me thought, like I mentioned before, how they got so many facts so wrong, and they were so crazy in their language. These are deep fakes.
Starting point is 00:42:02 And I thought to myself, maybe they're just trying to create a demand for more studies that they get paid for. I have no idea how much they were paid if it was 10 grand or 100 grand or he knows. Our tax dollars went to pay for it. Well, the U.S. Navy is a huge budget. I think it's $161 billion. So there's a lot of, you know, a lot of money to be had. The entire building. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:28 And so this little defense contractor in Little Rock, And I've left them a message, by the way. I've asked them some questions. I called up the spy master of the U.S. Navy because her phone numbers are on one of these documents. I just left her message. And I sent her an email. Listen, I just want to talk. And frankly, they can ask me questions.
Starting point is 00:42:46 They can ask me if I'm a Canadian. They can ask me if I'm trying to create a revolution or something. Like, you would think, if you're spying on a guy and he wants to talk to you, talk to him. No, they're hiding from me. I think that there's a chance that this is just a money-making. self-perpetuating, you know, empire-building thing and what vanity URLs are. And so if you use lots of scary words on the Internet is look at photos of their grandkids on Facebook, maybe they're bamboozling.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I'm just guessing here. And so that the money keeps flowing. It's just a theory because, I mean, I see three theories. One is we're conservative. So smash us. It's a favor for the Canadian government because maybe if the U.S. government spies on us, it's not illegal, whereas if the Canadian government spot on their own citizens, it is. But there's also that military industrial complex just self-perpetuating, you know, busy work,
Starting point is 00:43:56 a budget. Navy, I would be laughing so hard at this. They're building their fourth aircraft carrier. They're going deeper and deeper into the blue sea. I am scared of the Chinese Navy. That's not me being dramatic. That is the rising military power. And I would just wish the U.S. Navy, which I admire, would start.
Starting point is 00:44:17 focusing on my little website. I would focus on the bad guy. I will, I'll have our producers look into this as well. Have you called the University of Arkansas Little Rock? Yeah, well, I mean, I'm ending in Arkansas to do a freedom of information request. And I'm not an art, I'm not from Arkansas, Sokol law firm. And they've gone back and forth about 10 times. And the University of Arkansas is stonewalling.
Starting point is 00:44:46 And I think it's contract, they don't want to show who commission this. We have some of the emails back and forth from the University of Arkansas Little Rock. Somebody neat, is it, Nitten? Nitton. Yeah, Nitton Agrawal. He's contractor with their staff of the university, and they take defense contracts, which is exactly what Eisenhower talked about. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:45:20 And basically, he took a contract from the U.S. Navy on us, and then he seems to have sold the same work a second time to the Canadian government. I've put in access to information requests in about six different places. I think we're going to have to go to court in Arkansas because they don't want to give it up. Well, I wonder if we can help you because this involves our tax dollars, and we should be able to get a Freedom of Information Act because we're American citizens on this one. we're going to look into this one Ezra and anything further that you have on it
Starting point is 00:45:56 let us know because if they're doing it to you who's doing it to us
