Brian Lilley Podcast

The jihadi hordes don't care what you think about them, Israel or any other issue, they only care if you will submit. The terror attacks in Lahore, Pakistain as well as in Iraq, Yemen and Syria illustrate this. Brian talks to Phil Gurski, former CSIS analyst on the issue of what drives the terrorists. He also speaks with Stephen Taylor about the Conservative Party leadership race and the latest poll on who might be leading. Plus Caleb Howe on the US presidential race and the creepy Democrats, Sheldon Clare from the NFA on Quebec's gun registry and your calls.

The mob is angry after Jian Ghomeshi was found not guilty of sexual assault. I'm not a fan of the guy, I find him creepy, likely a bad date, but what did the evidence say or don't we care anymore? Are we giving up on innocent until proven guilty in favour of a mob mentality? Plus Ezra Levant on all things Trudeau, John Robson on Britain's union more than 300 years ago on this day and Christian Elia on what nurses may be forced to do in Ontario.

Why do progressives view your money as tax money to be taken? Why do they have trouble facing up to reality on terrorism? It comes down to worldview. Brian explains the progressive view of taxes. On terror he talks to war correspondent Matthew Fisher about what he is seeing in Brussels and to liberal columnist Warren Kinsella on why he disagrees with Trudeau and Dion on Canada being at war. Defence lawyer Michael Spratt joins in on the topic of carding by police and Brian takes your calls. Oh, and for fun, Connie Bernardi on upcoming concerts, music and how it has changed since we were young.

The terror attacks in Brussels, cancer in Toronto, both took life too soon. On an already busy news day these events make you take stock. Normally the federal budget is the biggest story, event on Tuesday pushed it to third on Brian's list. Listen as Brian talks budget with David Akin, Rob Ford with Joe Warmington and hears from a socialist on how the budget isn't mean enough to well off Canadians. Also Brian juxtaposes Stephen Harper on terrorism to Justin Trudeau.

The US and the EU have declared that ISIS is guilty of genocide, so why won't Justin Trudeau's Liberals? Brian explores what Trudeau and the gang are saying about genocide, religious persecution, religious freedom, refugees and how they all relate. Plus Simon Kent of Breitbart London on Brexit, Ray Heard on The Globe refusing to use the word terrorist and Brian let's loose on the labour minister for being ignorant and incompetent. Oh, and that police board meeting on morale and other problems at the Ottawa Police service.

Brian wishes his twins a happy birthday and explains how St. Patrick's Day stopped being about wild parties 12 years ago for him. He and Evan Solomon chat about helicopter parenting. Davin de Kergommeaux comes in studio to talk Irish whiskey and maybe sample some Writer's Tears and Solomon Friedman on firearms ownership.

Justin Trudeau went to the UN and said that he wants Canada to be back but why is he not pushing for reform of an organization that gives too much time to rogues and dictators? Gun owners are under attack again and not for doing anything wrong. I chat with Ottawa city councilor and CF vet Jody Mitic about the idea that legal guns owners are irresponsible. That and is Olivia Wilde too old and haggard to play Leo DiCaprio's wife in a movie.

The attacker walked in and stabbed two military personnel claiming Allah told him to, so why lecture the public on Islamophobia? You have that little faith in people? Full marks to Toronto's police chief for immediately saying that the knife attack at the army recruiting centre was terrorism and for the Allah reference but c'mon. Also on the show terrorism expert and former CSIS op Phil Gurski on military folks bing targeted, Anthony Furey on Canada's UN relativism, Trump wins, Rubio bows out and why Clinton and is unfit for office. And the one thing Rubio said as he left that resonates with so many people.

I open talking about Donald Trump, attacks on free speech, thugs shutting down his rally and attempts to silence the pro-life movement and I finish talking about a possible terrorism attack at a Canadian Forces recruitment centre. What on earth could these disparate stories have in common? More than you think. That and elections in Germany, shootings in Ottawa and heroin shooting galleries in your neighbourhood. Sit back, relax and listen or download for later.

Trudeau says the middle class is ailing, that climate change needs to be dealt with now, that diversity is our strength - but are any of these claims, especially the way he means them true? Listen as Brian breaks them down. Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace and now an independent scientist and environmentalist challenges the idea we need to be scared of carbon. Brian talks gun culture in Canada and cover the breaking news of Donald Trump's rally being cancelled amid a riot.

I break down the state dinner, the trip to Washington and what it all means. Plus the push to get the AR15 deemed a non-restricted rifle in Canada, I talk to MP Bob Zimmer about why this is a good idea. Also on the show, "What are you wearing?" and why it matters, how a key Trudeau minister is wasting your money and skirting the rules, CBC plays favourites with the Disney Prince Trudeau once again and finally, dealing with increasing violence and shootings in one Ottawa neighbourhood.

A musical legend passed away on Wednesday, Brian opens and closes the show on the theme of music and how it can bring people together, even taking calls about Beatles, concerts and old punk bands from Hamilton. In between he talks to Warren Kinsella and Tony Clement about Trudeau's trip to Washington. Checks in with Caleb Howe and Benny Johnson on the US primaries and the presidential race. Pays tribute to Mauril Belanger and discuss a new animal rights bill that pet owners, farmers and hunters should worry about.

We should celebrate women but not the socialist holiday known as International Women's Day - Brian explains his position on this and the message we should be sending girls. Also, answering the cellphone in the bathroom - don't do it. Mark Tapson joins Brian to explain that many Americans will roll their eyes at his insulting them but will be concerned about his strange attitude to refugee security screening and terrorism. Conservative MP Blaine Calkins calls in to say why the Liberals are wrong to fundraise off of Trudeau's trip to Washington.

After podcasting and filling in on talk radio, Brian finally starts his own show. Listen in as he explains why the Toronto Star is wrong on ISIS, brings you the best audio from CPAC in Washington, interviews Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown on a carbon tax and other issues and chats with the founder of a new right of centre group in Ontario. Oh and there might be something about Justin Trudeau being wrong by insulting Americans.

After giving his opinion of the Fox News GOP debate and discussing a naked man terrorizing beaches in Bahamas with Lowell Green, Brian turns his sights on Justin Trudeau's insults aimed at Americans in an interview with a major US media outlet. It is a big interview, Justin Trudeau will be featured on CBS this weekend in a 60 Minutes profile. What we know so far is that he took the chance to showcase Canada to the Americans and turned it into a chance to insult Americans and one of the possible winners of the American presidential race. While the PM says Americans need to know more about the world, Brian shows that Trudeau know very little of the world himself.

It is not set in stone yet but Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton moved closer to taking the nominations of their respective parties on Super Tuesday. Brian talks to Lowell and takes your calls on the American presidential race. Plus discussions on refugees, Trudeau's brother lobbying to help a man accused of terrorist connections and more.

Justin Trudeau, our illustrious prime minister will host a meeting of premiers this week to push for a national price on carbon to fight climate change. Listen as Brian asks why, especially in light of new evidence that global warming has stopped. Isn't it time to stop the climate spending?

Brian describes how the media and politicians are trying to hide and ignore a new study that shows a pause in global warming. This study has some of the biggest names in the global warming industry signing on to it so why are we not hearing about it. Brian also launches the website and petition climatepause.com

Listen as Brian recites the Oath of Allegiance that new citizens must swear and asks if terrorists like Zakaria Amara should have to swear to it before getting their citizenship back. Brian talks to Lowell Green, Stewart Bell of the National Post and takes your calls on citizenship and Ontario's crazy spending budget.

I opened the show today talking about why Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were the dangerous ones in the presidential race but then lost my mind as I heard what the Liberals were doing. Listen as I react and take calls to the news that Trudeau's Liberals want to give citizenship to terrorists.
