Jewish reporter SLAMS Canadian cops who arrested him at Hamas rally

‪@RebelNewsOnline‬ founder Ezra Levant was recently arrested in his Jewish neighborhood in Toronto, Canada. His crime? “inciting a breach of the peace” by standing next to a group of anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protesters. Ezra joins Glenn to describe what happened and how the police decided to “take out the quiet Jew and let the noisy Hamas ones continue.” But this dystopian story also has a good ending. Just a few days later, the protesters returned. But they were met by Ezra and a crowd of 100 counter-protesters: “We took back the streets.” Ezra explains why it’s vital that America hold onto its rights and also comments on Donald Trump’s threat to put massive tariffs on Canada.

GLENN: All right. I want to talk to you a little bit here about justice.

Right now, we are -- we are living in a world. And hopefully, Donald Trump is going to be correcting some of these real errors of -- of our ways.

We are a world that has gone truly insane. And our neighbors up in Canada are just as insane.

If not more so. They're farther down the road.

A good friend of the program. A good friend of mine is Ezra Levant.

He is Rebel News, which is kind of like TheBlaze up in Canada. He is Jewish, and he has just been arrested. He was arrested.

In fact, I want to play the video of him being arrested. He is only standing, as a journalist, filming in his own Jewish neighborhood, a Palestinian, you know, protest.

If I can call it that.

I want you to listen to what happens. The exchange between him and the police.

Listen.

VOICE: I want you to take this.

VOICE: So you're refuse to go leave?

VOICE: I'm refusing to leave.

VOICE: Why?

VOICE: Because I'm a Jew. I'm a citizen. And I'm your boss. And I don't leave --

VOICE: Well, you know what, in the interest of keeping peace here and public safety. You're under arrest for breaching the peace.

VOICE: Good!
(applauding)

GLENN: This is his neighborhood. He's not an outsider. This is his Jewish neighborhood!

VOICE: I'm being arrested because I'm standing on the sidewalk in my city. I'm a Jew, who lives in this neighborhood. And I'm being arrested because the police say that's the path of least resistance.

VOICE: Zionist!

GLENN: Amazing. Ezra is with us now.

Ezra.

This is crazy!

This is absolutely crazy, what's going on.

EZRA: Glenn, I've never been arrested before. They handcuffed me, and they took me to jail for a few hours. And they said that I had incited a breach of the peace.

Now, I wasn't doing anything unlawful.

I was actually just debating with those cops.

Because I wanted to film.

You called it a pro-Palestinian rally. I think it was more than that.

It was pro-Hamas.

They had set up this really macabre display, of they were reenacting the final moments of Yahya Sinwar, the now deceased head of Hamas, where he was sitting in a chair covered with blood or whatever.

So these Palestinian activists came into the heart of a Jewish residential community. They weren't protesting outside an embassy or a political target. They were just in the middle of a bunch of apartments, in a very Jewish neighborhood.

So they were targeting Jews as Jews. Canadian Jews.

Nothing to do with the war overseas. They were putting on this sort of reenactment of their hero, the head of Hamas.

And I thought this was so astonishing. I just wanted to anymore it.

I wasn't even interact winning them. I mean, wanted to film it.

You sort of heard the jeering. Jew, Zionist, or whatever.

The top cop said to me, that by being there, I was inciting a breach of the peace. I myself was not obviously breaching the peace.

But these pro-Hamas thugs were. And they essentially vetoed being on my own sidewalk. This is public property.

I wasn't in some, you know, private place to be trespassed or something.

And the cops arrested me, the path of least resistance, which you mentioned when it happened, because there was about 20 of them.

And one of me. And instead of upholding the law.

They said, just take Ezra out. Because we know he's not going to riot. We know he's not going to get violent.

Take out the quiet Jew. And let the noisy Hamas ones continue.

That's just crazy. And, you know what, I don't regret being arrested.

There's no way that I was going to leave. Because they were saying, you're committing the sin of being Jewish on the sidewalk.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to leave just because you say Jews can't be there.

And you heard them say that, as I was arrested.

GLENN: Ezra, is there a chance, you go to jail for this, that this is upheld in Canadian court now?

EZRA: Well, I did go to jail for a few hours. Then they released me without charge. Now I was so upset with this precedent, that -- that was about nine days ago, that that happened. So two days ago. The same Hamas protesters, came back to that same Jewish neighborhood. And I said, this can't stand. So I sent an email out to our viewers, and I said, come stand with me. We will be peaceful.

We won't engage with the Hamas ones.

We'll just stand on the public sidewalk.

And, you know, just assert our rights. We'll take back our streets.

And I said, be aware, that we may be arrested.

But if that's where we are.

We need to know.

So 100 people came out two days ago.

100 people. And the police saw my email.

So they put out a tweet. The night before.

Saying that they reserved the right to arrest people.

So they were trying to scare my people off.

But I showed up.

On Sunday morning, and 100 people were there.

And I led them across the street. And we stood there, and I think the police sized us up.

And thought, there's 100 of them. We really can't arrest the one of them.

It was no longer in the path of the least resistance.

So we took back the streets.

And it was a victory. And I think we undid that terrible precedent that was set.

You can't arrest a peaceful person.

Because someone else is threatening them.

GLENN: They're doing it in England too, though. Doing the same thing in Glenn England.

EZRA: Oh, yeah. Well, you know what, I'm interested in the UK. One of our former employees, Tommy Robinson, is in prison right now for publishing a documentary on X.

And I always say, I go to the UK, because it's a dystopian time machine to see what Canada would be like in five years.

Maybe further down the road than that. Glenn, I would say to you and your American viewers.

Hold on to your rights. And if you want a picture of what America would look like, if you had lose your rights.

Look at us.

And that's why I was so relieved.

When Donald Trump won.

Because I think he will turn back the excesses.

GLENN: Oh, I think so too.

Let me ask you, Trudeau said that if Benjamin Netanyahu steps foot in Canada, he'll have him arrested.

EZRA: Justin Trudeau has sided, not just with Palestinians, because I can understand making the case for innocent civilians and being harmed as collateral damage in a war.

And you can be compassionate for Palestinians. I -- you can do that. But -- but Trudeau has gone much further.

He -- he has been so supportive of Hamas.

I don't know if you know this, Glenn. They literally made an English language video, thanking Canada. He was -- he has absolutely turned against Israel at the United Nations.

He -- he routinely condemns. He -- he republishes misinformation.

And hoaxes about Israel.

That Hamas circulates.

And when it's disproven. He doesn't correct.

He's whipped up, what I call an anti-Semitic crime wave.

For the last year. Not just hate crimes.

Because, you know, sometimes while it's a hate crime. Or a thought crime.

Or a word crime.

I'm talking about crimes.

Mazel tov cocktails being thrown at synagogues. A Jewish girl's school in my town, shot up with guns, twice. Constant vandalism. Constant uttering death threats.

Trespass. Mischief. Vandalism.

And I'm pretty much a Libertarian on free speech.

I don't like it when people say anti-Semitic things. But I understand that that's part of freedom. But first of all, not for foreign nationals.

If you're a guest in our country, if you don't have tenure in our country, get out. Instead of deporting these thugs, he's bringing in thousands of, quote, refugees from Gaza.

And I would say to Americans, be careful.

Because Trudeau is bringing in hundreds of thousands of people in Canada, who share these outrageous beliefs.

And we have a porous border with you.

So don't think that they're -- some of them are trying to get into the US.

That's why Trump is trying to strengthen the border with Canada.

And I hope it takes effect.

I hope that Canada gets more serious.

GLENN: Well, I will tell you this.

There are a lot of Canadians that are saying, this tariff that Donald Trump is talked about with Canada will kill us.

And hurt America, as well.

If Trudeau does not abide with the border restrictions, if he doesn't fall in line with our laws.

Donald Trump is not bluffing.

He does not mind tariffs.

And he is going to -- I mean, he will crush any country, that is -- is doing damage to the United States. He means it.

EZRA: I believe Trump means it. But I also believe he doesn't want to put the tariffs on. He is just trying to get --

GLENN: Yes, it's the way he negotiates.

The one thing you have to understand. Unlike most politicians, Donald Trump never threatens, he makes promises. You do this, and I'll do that.

You do this, and I'll do that. And he means it.

EZRA: It's worth rereading The Art of the Deal, where he explains how he negotiates and how he reframes things and takes dramatic positions.

It really is a decoder for a lot of his political talk. But what is he demanding from Canada? Nothing that we ourselves shouldn't demand from our own government.

He's demanding two things from Canada. Stop the drugs coming over the border.

Especially China-made fentanyl that is trafficked throughout the states. And number two, stop the illegal immigration.

We should want both of those things on our own basis. And the fact that it takes big brother, and America to smarten up is embarrassing.

We should have done those things on our own. I think Trudeau suddenly has a decision to make.

Does he want to just play to the cameras, and have woke press statements?

Or is he going to be a grownup now, and get serious?

And be productive, and have a working relationship with our best friends and allies.

And I don't know.

I mean, Trudeau. He's so low in the polls.

He may try to, Glenn. Turn this into an election issue.

I'm going to stand up to Trump. And the conservative candidate is a Trump puppet.

He may actually try to run in the next Canadian election.

Not in the Canadian conservative party. But like a shadow boxing campaign against Trump.

I wouldn't put it past him.

He hates Trump. The feeling is mutual.

Both men have disparaged each other in the past. I look forward to the day when we get past the Trudeau era, because he's made our country a darker place.

GLENN: He really has.

Ezra, I'm glad things are working out. Stay safe, my friend.

You are a huge target, and a force for good up in Canada.

Thank you. Buh-bye.

Dennis Prager's Prophetic Take on Covid Lockdowns from 2020 | FLASHBACK CLIP

This flashback conversation between Glenn Beck and Dennis Prager from 2020 captures the exact cultural turning point that America now recognizes in hindsight... the moment when social media reshaped identity, Hollywood crossed moral lines, lockdowns fueled fear and confusion, and honest voices were punished instead of heard. Looking back with clarity in 2025, the question becomes: How much of today’s chaos began in 2020, and why didn’t we listen at the time?

"This is NOT HUMAN!" - Why We NEED Protection from AI... And Fast!

Artificial intelligence is accelerating faster than anyone imagined, and Glenn Beck warns we’re entering a 12-18 month window that will permanently reshape civilization. From AI agents capable of blackmail, lying, and manipulating data, to emerging AGI systems that hide their intentions to stay “alive,” the danger is no longer theoretical. Glenn and Stu Burguiere break down why Big Tech will fight against limits on "AI-Personhood," how self-driving cars, Neuralink, and autonomous agents will soon control every part of daily life, and why America urgently needs a constitutional amendment to prevent AI from gaining civil rights. The question now isn’t whether AI will reshape society... it’s whether humans can stop it from becoming our replacement.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

The Profit-Driven Machine: How Big Ag, Food, and Pharma Engineer Addiction

America’s food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, and insurance systems have fused into a single profit-driven machine that engineers addiction, manipulates policy, and prioritizes corporate gain over public health. Jillian Michaels exposes how Big Agriculture, Big Food, and Big Pharma have captured once-well-intentioned laws, weaponized food science, and engineered ultra-processed products designed to hook consumers and keep them sick. From “bliss point” chemistry to chemicals hidden behind innocent labels, this eye-opening conversation uncovers how the health of an entire nation was sacrificed for profit and why the system is now too coordinated to ignore.

AI bots are experiencing BRAIN ROT... and it’s happening to all of us

Are we destroying our minds with endless scrolling? Glenn reveals some shocking new evidence that Large Language Models (AI) trained on the same viral, low-quality internet junk we consume every day are experiencing rapid cognitive collapse — reasoning plummets, long-term memory vanishes, and even dark, narcissistic traits emerge. Worst of all? Even when scientists try to “detox” the AI with high-quality data, the damage is permanent. If we don’t choose to feed our minds better content — real books, deep conversation, silence, and reflection — we risk becoming a society that can’t think deeply, care deeply, or live freely… and we might be too far gone to even notice.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: The average person spends two hours and 21 minutes a day, on social media.

That's the average person! Two hours 21 minutes a day on social media.

Approximately 141 minutes every single day, scrolling.

The average American!

Our on screen time, overall, the average American spends six hours 38 minutes, every day, on screens, connected to the internet!

Oh, my gosh. Wow! Time just gone! Just vanished into -- into, what? Updates? Scrolls? What is it that we're reading?

Seriously, are we -- we exercising our soul with deep thought? Do you know that leash reading in the US has fallen?

Only 16 percent of Americans age 15-plus read for their own enjoyment on an average day? Fifteen [sic]. That number was almost 30 percent in 2003. Fewer books: US adults in 2021 said they read on average 12.6 books a year, down from 15 in 2002 to 2016.

So we're losing reading skills. We're losing deeper thought. We're losing hours of conversation. We're losing how many hours of reflection? At least minutes, maybe 100 minutes.

Our attention spans. How long can you focus on something?

You know, the second screen was different. When we first started TheBlaze, I talked about doing a second screen. Technology, and it wasn't because you couldn't watch something. They're now talking about taking your TV show or your -- your Netflix show, and dumbing it down so much because people are watching or they're scrolling while they're watching the TV. And so they can't follow a complex story line. Oh, my gosh!

We are just going to be stupid slugs. Everything that we're doing online is fracturing attention, memory, and sustained reasoning. And so at what point does this become an epidemic? At what point our are our minds starving for any kind of nutrition as we feed them calories of noise? Now let me tell you the real story. AI is holding a mirror up for us.

There's a new study that came out. LLMs can get brain rot. Okay? That caught my eye. Large language models, LLMs. They are trained on junk web content. So viral, shallow, high engagement stuff.

And all it does is it's just cataloging all this stuff and just consuming all of this stuff that we're scrolling through every day, okay? Do you know what's happening to the LLM?

It's experiencing cognitive decline. It can't -- its reasoning ability is dropping. Falling through the floor. Long context memory, gone!

And dark personality traits, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism has increased. This is within AI. Okay? And when the junk content ratio rose from zero to 100 percent, if you're just scrolling for junk, the reasoning benchmark falls from 75 percent to almost 55 percent.

Its ability to understand long -- you know, long form context, falls from 85 percent, to about 50 percent.

Now, here's the scariest part, they caught this and they're like, holy cow.

Look at what's happening to the large language model. It's completely decaying.

You know, we're just doing it for a year now, and look what's happened. It's not reasoning anymore. It's turning dark. It can't understand long form content anymore.

Let's get it off that!

Let's start putting good, clean stuff into it.

Even after retraining on clean high-quality data, the models never recover the baseline capacity.

Okay?

The rot remains!

As a man or now as a machine thinketh, so he becomes.

I just -- I've been blown away by this study, for the last few weeks. It came out a couple of weeks ago. I had it on my desk, and I wanted to tell you about it. And I just haven't had time.

And I just keep thinking. This is a machine. This is not our brain. This is -- this is a machine that is -- is using the same kind of crap.

I mean, what happens if you don't monitor what you think?

Or worse what?

When we stop thinking?

AI is teaching us a lesson. And I guarantee. This study has been out for weeks!

Never heard it, did you? Nobody is talking about it. It's screaming at us, "Hey, learn a lesson!"

When you feed nothing but lone nutrient attention-hooking, high engagement junk, the capacity to reason, to remember, and to care degrades.

Aren't we seeing this now? Do people care as much as they used to?

Nope! Can they reason?

Nope!

Can they remember what happened yesterday?

Nope. My gosh, don't worry about AI taking over, controlling us. Programming our lives. Look at ourselves. We've already -- we've already signed over our lives to an algorithm.

We're studying AI brain rot!

But is anybody studying, you know, brain, brain rot?

Maybe -- maybe we do recognize it. Maybe we do recognize it. But, you know, we're too apathetic to wean ourselves off the digital era.

It's hard. It is hard. But when the nature of what we ingest for body and mind becomes shallow, the body suffers. But mind sinks deeper.

And we live in an age where we might be less full of nourishment, but full of distraction.

We talk less. We actually listen less. We read fewer books.

You know, where our minds just flit instead of dive. Our attention span, it's almost gone. And make no mistake, this is not just a matter of convenience or lifestyle. This is creeping into the structure of who we are, individually, and collectively.

What is this going to do to -- to our children?

I mean, even if we stopped right now, and we wanted to change, we -- according to the brain rot study.

We won't get that baseline back. Do we pass this stuff on?

Is it getting to a point, to where we're just pumping out morons.

I mean, we're already doing that. I mean, really pumping out morons.

At what point is this an epidemic, where anybody even recognizes it?

When -- when is it where our ability to think critically is so diminished, we cannot be a free people?

Are we there yet?

I told you earlier, I went to the bookstore yesterday. My son and I went to the bookstore.

And I was like, we're getting books!

Because I haven't read. I've been reading online.

It's not the same. It's just not the same.

You've got -- you can't remember. Because you remember sometimes with your fingers. You remember where it is in the book. You know, I can never find anything digitally. I can never find where it is in the pook. I'm -- I'm looking for it.

I can't find it. But I know right where those facts are, if I'm reading a physical copy of a book. And, you know, deep reading. Quiet reflection. Sustained dialogue. Pretty rare! Pretty rare! Our mental health, our social health!

You know, kind of going down. You know, civic health. I wrote it. A little bit. I think we all agree with that.

Even when artificial intelligence trained on junk content degrade in reason, we still feed ourselves the same thing.

Are we going to keep doing that? Or are we going to choose to do something different?

Well, first thing, we have to get people to understand it.

Can we really?

Can we get people to actually listen to this?

And then engage again, in thoughtful reading and conversation. And meaningful silence.

It starts with awareness.

And then choice. What do you permit -- what are you going to put into your body?

What do you permit into your mind?

Otherwise, one day, we'll all look around. And we will realize.

We didn't just lose time. We lost the capacity to deeply think. Deeply connect.

Deeply live.

And then maybe again, maybe we're so stupid and shallow, we won't know.

I'm happy. Are you happy?

What was the question?

What are you saying?

Maybe that's -- maybe that's -- maybe that's a better life!

I love my family!

I don't know who my family is, but I love them! Politics. I don't vote. I haven't voted for a long time. Look at -- (laughter) TikTok! TikTok! TikTok! Okay?

It's up to us, America.
