The Roy Green Show Podcast
1 - The Canadian government is reportedly involved in negotiating ways for former ISIS terrorists to repatriate from a Kurdish prison camp. Lt. Colonel Steve Day talks about the mindset of ISIS terrorists, and the challenges of bringing ISIS fighters back to Canada for trial. Scott Newark worked out options for the Canadian Government, if they wish to keep Canadian ISIS members in Kurdish prisons, or have them return to face charges.
2 - In an exclusive interview, Roy talks with John Letts. John is the father of a Brittish-Canadian dual citizen who has been accused of joining ISIS. His son Jack has been dubbed “Jihadi Jack” by the British media, and is held by Kurdish authorities. John continues to defend his son’s innocence and says that his son must be allowed into Canada.
3 - Dr. Bjorn Lomborg says we should not panic over the U.N. Climate Change Report. He believes in climate change and believes there are things we should be doing, but says that the U.N. is not on the right track.
4 - And two separate emails alarmed Roy over the last week, for their similarities. Both described incidents in which teachers behaved reprehensibly when challenged by their students. In one case, a mother related to Roy how her son was called a “Nazi” by his teacher. How common is this sort of incident?
