Brian Lilley Podcast

Brian share his personal memories of Jean Lapierre and how the man could speak to anyone. We need more of that.

Also, Anthony Furey on the new effort to counter radicalization. The retired Senator Marjory Lebreton on the fake new system appoint to the Red Chamber joins Brian for a frank talk. Warren Kinsella on Ontario's new fundraising rules and Brian's head explodes that's to Stephane Dion's revisionist history and lies.

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.
