Hello, my rebels. Today is a Brexit day. Oh boy, the deep state tried to stop that and they delayed
00:00:06.460
it for three years, but it finally happened. I'm going to show you some funny vids, some classic
00:00:13.780
Nigel Farage and also what I think is the funniest Boris Johnson video. I just I've watched it 10
00:00:19.780
times and I still laugh. It's crazy. I'll show you that or you'll hear the audio of it because
00:00:25.520
it's a podcast. But oh boy, you got to see, you know, Boris Johnson is a visual person, that
00:00:30.380
shocking mop of platinum hair, that disheveled suit and that funny grin that he looks at you
00:00:36.940
while he's doing something ridiculous. You got to see it. Please get the video version of this podcast.
00:00:42.860

00:00:47.800

00:00:52.580
the video version of this podcast and Sheila Gunn-Reid's show and David Menti's show. All right,
00:01:13.640
Tonight, Britain is free. By the time you hear this, Brexit will have happened.
00:01:18.940
It's January 31 and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:22.580
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:27.780
There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:31.840
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:01:37.720
I'm a Canadian with few ties to the United Kingdom. I had only been there once in my whole life when I
00:01:49.140
was a teenager until much later when I met Tommy Robinson and went there a lot.
00:01:53.720
Since meeting Tommy, I've learned more about that country than perhaps I wish I had, especially about
00:01:58.540
its problems. But it's important to all Canadians to know what happened in the UK today and how it
00:02:05.640
happened, whether or not your ties to that sceptered isle, as Shakespeare called it.
00:02:11.600
Oh, let me indulge myself. Here's what Shakespeare wrote in a time when intellectuals actually loved
00:02:17.320
their own countries instead of specializing and hating it. This is so wonderful.
00:02:22.040
This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, this earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, this other
00:02:29.540
Eden, demi-paradise, this fortress built by nature for herself against infection and the hand of war,
00:02:37.720
this happy breed of men, this little world, this precious stone set in a silver sea which serves it
00:02:46.120
in the office of a wall or as a moat defensive to a house against the envy of less happier lands,
00:02:53.780
this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England. Oh my God, isn't that amazing? It's true.
00:03:04.240
I love that one part. A stone set in the silver sea and that that sea serves as a wall, as a moat
00:03:11.440
against less happier lands. Exactly. I think the English Channel is the best thing that ever
00:03:18.100
happened to the United Kingdom. Certainly, you know, the Second World War proved that and the European
00:03:23.260
Union as a project, in a way it undid the geography of the English Channel a bit and it removed those
00:03:30.440
special happinesses of the UK and replaced them with a continental sensibility. French, German, and you
00:03:37.160
know, being French and German, that's fine for France and Germany, but why should that be the
00:03:41.340
way in the United Kingdom? And that's the thing about the European Union. It was more than a United
00:03:46.380
Nations. It was more than just a talk shop or a meeting place. It was a parliament. It was a
00:03:51.520
legislature. It has a parliament, a court. It has joint policies. They're even planning a European
00:03:57.500
Union army, all of which are superior to those of its constituent countries. That's not the British way.
00:04:04.340
I understand the early ideas of it. Unite the continent in commerce for prosperity and to avoid a
00:04:10.900
third world war. I get it. But that's not what it turned into these days. I didn't understand this
00:04:16.580
years ago. I didn't know who it was when I first stumbled across a viral video of a great Brit,
00:04:23.980
classic, as if he's from an earlier era named Nigel Farage. What a great name that is. When I saw this
00:04:32.460
years ago, and I didn't understand it. I knew I liked it, but I didn't understand it. I didn't know what
00:04:37.000
UKIP meant. I didn't know why the pound symbol was the party's symbol. But I knew I liked this guy and
00:04:44.500
he was trouble in a good way. Maybe even a British version of Donald Trump, you might say. Remember
00:04:50.240
this? You have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk. And the
00:04:56.460
question that I want to ask, the question that I want to ask, that we're all going to ask, is who are
00:05:02.560
you? I'd never heard of you. Nobody in Europe had ever heard of you. It goes on like that. You should
00:05:10.740
Google that clip. He makes fun of him as some mid-rank bank clerk and why should any Brit care
00:05:16.140
about him? You got to Google that. How can you not like that guy? Well, I learned UKIP stood for UK
00:05:22.860
Independence Party and the pound was a symbol of independence, not submitting to a bland
00:05:28.240
homogenization, not using the euro. Thank God they never signed up for that globalist currency. UKIP
00:05:34.640
kept gaining as the European Union went wrong and wronger, as the traditional British parties went
00:05:41.220
wrong. UKIP was a specific antidote to the problems of the EU, open borders, mass immigration, loss of
00:05:47.620
sovereignty. But they were also a general antidote to the establishment, the media, big corporations,
00:05:53.860
transnational banks, whatever. They were an all-purpose group of dissidents. And Nigel Farage kept them
00:05:59.400
respectable enough that they kept edging up in their votes every time. So a few years back, the Conservative
00:06:07.860
Party thought, oh, this is a threat. Let's call their bluff. Let's have a referendum on leaving on Brexit, as they
00:06:14.820
called it. And when the UKIP loses, people will forget about that flight of fancy and they'll come
00:06:19.480
back to the Conservatives. But wouldn't you know it? The deplorables won. That's what it would be called
00:06:25.960
in America. In the UK, it was a combination of the working class and whatever remnant of nationalism
00:06:31.860
there was and some Conservatives and people who just detested the establishment. It was a protest vote,
00:06:37.160
sure. But it was a positive vote, too. And they won. Brexit won. Everyone was against them, but the
00:06:45.540
people. They won. The media, all the political parties, including the Conservatives, who claimed
00:06:50.480
they supported Brexit. The campaign for the remain side, as it was called, was bad and got worse and
00:06:58.000
more desperate. By the day, they literally called their campaign Project Fear. That's not a name that
00:07:04.160
was given to it by critics. They called it that themselves. They threatened unemployment, epidemics
00:07:10.460
even, inflation. And my favorite prediction of doom, the claim from the British Sandwich Association
00:07:19.840
that if Brexit happened, you wouldn't be able to get a good sandwich anymore. This was hitting close
00:07:25.940
to home. Remember this clip? But certainly there would be serious problems in terms of some of the
00:07:30.380
fresh ingredients we bring in from the European Union and also from overseas, particularly if
00:07:36.560
we have problems at ports and we can't get ingredients through, because they're all fresh
00:07:42.040
and don't have a very long shelf life. And we've got no chance to stop piling fresh ingredients.
00:07:46.860
So I think the answer from the sandwich industry is going to be that it's going to limit the amount
00:07:52.260
of choice that consumers have if we suddenly crash out of Brexit in the way that it's being talked about.
00:07:57.440
You know, I tore up my lifetime membership in the British Sandwich Association after I saw that.
00:08:03.000
I don't get it. I mean, you spend your life climbing the sandwich ladder, the top of the greasy pole.
00:08:08.880
You're the boss now. You're the president of the British Sandwich Association. You're the highest heights.
00:08:13.360
Heavy sits the crown. You're up there. It's what you always, you know, you're, this is your moment.
00:08:20.260
And you sell it out for a cheap Remainer line. It will take years for the British Sandwich Association
00:08:29.600
to get its credibility back after that. I, um, where's he now? All right, enough of that.
00:08:39.140
The Brexit, here's one. The Leave campaign won. David Cameron, he resigned. Theresa May took over
00:08:46.760
the conservatives and she proceeded to spend three years delaying and avoiding. It's as if in the 2016
00:08:54.520
American election, Donald Trump won, but had been kept out of office by tricks and shenanigans
00:09:00.580
for three years. That's what happened in the UK. For three years, the largest British voter turnout in
00:09:07.040
history, 17 million people voted to Brexit, more than any other vote in history. They were told
00:09:14.920
their vote did not count. Told by the courts, told by that obnoxious Speaker of the House, told by MPs of
00:09:22.220
all parties who started asking for a do-over. They were trying to undo the express will of the people
00:09:28.800
on a clear question. They were refusing to accept the outcome of the Democratic referendum. After Brexit,
00:09:35.200
after Brexit passed, Nigel Farage did a bit of a victory lap. It was amazing. Look at this.
00:09:42.140
Isn't it funny? You know, when I came here 17 years ago and I said that I wanted to lead a campaign
00:09:49.100
to get Britain to leave the European Union, you all laughed at me. Well, I have to say,
00:09:56.680
you're not laughing now, are you? After Brexit passed, Farage sort of retired, took it easy a bit.
00:10:06.740
But after three years of the establishment dodging, Farage doubled down in a way. He
00:10:14.060
had left the UKIP party, so he came back and created a new party called the Brexit Party, good name.
00:10:20.540
And they absolutely crushed it in the European Union parliamentary elections last spring. In fact,
00:10:29.880
they were the largest party in the entire European continent in terms of seat count. And they said
00:10:35.840
they were going to contest the British general election just a few months ago. Now, this genuinely
00:10:42.760
panicked the Conservatives. Would, could Nigel Farage actually become the Prime Minister? Well, sure,
00:10:52.140
why not? If all the other parties were anti-democratic, if they were all in collusion against the people's
00:10:59.060
will, why not? Just to clean them out. Well, quirky Boris Johnson realized maybe Nigel Farage,
00:11:07.800
this is Boris here. That's him. That's him when he was mayor of London. Oh, look at that guy. How
00:11:14.640
on earth did he make it as far as he did? He got stuck. Oh, look at him there. He loved him, his
00:11:21.600
bicycles. Farage realized, Boris Johnson realized that maybe Nigel Farage couldn't actually win and
00:11:30.200
become Prime Minister, but he could certainly make Boris Johnson lose. Look at that. Look at that. Oh,
00:11:34.860
down he goes. Down he goes. Oh, look at that. Look at that. What's he doing? Oh, whoops. Whoops. And he
00:11:42.780
had that great shock of hair, that, that white hair. Funny guy he, oh, but the funniness was part of it.
00:11:50.620
He was never, he was never so, he could roll with it because he wasn't that, I mean, every politician is
00:11:59.540
vain, but he sort of rolled with his goofiness. Anyways, so Boris Johnson realized that Nigel
00:12:07.240
Farage maybe couldn't win, but he could certainly make Johnson lose. So Boris Johnson promised a full
00:12:14.540
Brexit, not a fake halfway version. And in return, Nigel Farage said that his Brexit party in the last
00:12:21.980
national election would not contest safe conservative seats. It was like an electoral
00:12:28.080
pact. And wouldn't you know it, Boris Johnson now has a very strong majority. And tonight at 11pm UK
00:12:37.740
time, Brexit happened. The UK did leave the European Union. Now, before I stop talking about Johnson,
00:12:46.500
can I show you my favorite Boris Johnson video of all time? Look at this. And then rewind
00:12:55.240
it and watch it again. What do you do to relax? What do you do to switch off?
00:12:58.960
Uh, I, I, well, I like to paint. Um, oh, I make things. I like to.
00:13:08.860
I make, I have a thing where I make models of, I mean, when I was in like, well, mayor of
00:13:20.600
You make models of buses. I make models of buses. So, so what I do, no, what I do make
00:13:26.080
models of buses, what I make is I get, I get old, um, I don't know, wooden crates.
00:13:33.560
Yeah. Right. And then I paint them and they, and they have two, two, suppose it's a white,
00:13:40.500
it's a box that's been used to contain two, two wine bottles. Right. Right. And it will
00:13:44.980
have a, a, a, a dividing thing. Yeah. And I turn it into a bus and I, so I put, I put
00:13:52.440
passengers. You really want to know this? You're making, you're making buses. You're
00:13:56.520
making cardboard buses. Okay. That's what you do to enjoy yourself. I paint, no, I paint.
00:13:59.380
No, I paint the passengers enjoying themselves. Okay. Great. On the wonderful bus. Great.
00:14:06.060
Do you know what any of that meant? That is the prime minister of the United Kingdom, who
00:14:12.460
was working harder to keep a straight face there? That interviewer who was just, like
00:14:18.360
he was, he was like that the whole time or Johnson himself. That is so wonderful. That
00:14:24.520
moment was so wonderful. Anyways, um, Boris Johnson, the prime minister who made Brexit
00:14:31.400
reality, but the spiritual prime minister of this moment, at least is Nigel Farage. Here
00:14:37.480
are some of his comments from the European parliament in his last speech there.
00:14:45.380
Indeed, there's an historic battle going on now across the West in Europe, America and
00:14:51.200
elsewhere. It is globalism against populism. And you may loathe populism, but I'll tell you
00:14:59.100
a funny thing. It's becoming very popular. And it has great benefits. No more financial
00:15:07.000
contributions. No more European Court of Justice. No more common fisheries policy. No more being
00:15:13.880
talked down to. No more being bullied. No more Guy Verhofstadt. I mean, I mean, what's not to
00:15:22.360
like? I know you're going to miss us. I know you want to ban our national flags, but we're
00:15:27.800
going to wave you goodbye. And we'll look forward in the future to working with you as sovereign.
00:15:40.680
That's so great. And remember, this is the European Union. So a lot of the other MEPs, as
00:15:46.580
they're called, members of the European parliament, were either leftists from the UK or from other
00:15:51.580
countries. They just loathed Farage. It's sort of a weird thing because they hated them and were
00:15:57.500
basically, get out, get out, get out. But they also wanted to trap them in. It was very strange.
00:16:02.760
In fact, it was just perfect. Some pouty European Union politician who was chairing
00:16:08.880
the session then told him to take his flags and go, which, of course, was meant as an insult. But if
00:16:16.000
you're Nigel Farage, it's not an insult. That's your life's mission. Look at this.
00:16:19.760
Please sit down. Resume your seats. Put your flags away. You're leaving. And take them with you
00:16:32.020
Oh, I thought you didn't want them to take their flag and go. That's a bit of a pickle there.
00:16:38.700
They're having fun in the UK. I sort of wish I was there tonight. They have this special Brexit coin
00:16:44.720
now. That's an image of it online. But they really have this. And isn't that wonderful? Peace,
00:16:49.740
prosperity, and friendship with all nations. It's very positive. The Remainers said, oh, it's going to be
00:16:55.720
terrible. It's going to be like the Lord of the Flies, zombie apocalypse, the purge, if you leave.
00:17:02.680
And no, I mean, you can, I mean, they're geographically not moving further away from
00:17:08.740
Europe. They're just politically becoming distinct. I predict they'll be better friends,
00:17:12.520
you know. If I was in the UK, I'd get those little, I think they're half pound coins,
00:17:19.780
and I would spend them in merchants who were Remainers. How much fun would that be?
00:17:24.760
Leavers wanted Big Ben to bong for Brexit. You say that fast, eh? Big Ben to bong for Brexit.
00:17:32.780
But bureaucrats said no to the Big Ben bonging. And they said it was too expensive.
00:17:38.120
What? That's made up, of course. That's an excuse. That's a lie. But it shows you the kind of
00:17:44.020
deep state, even in the bell ringing bureaucracy, that did everything they could to stop Brexit
00:17:50.380
from happening for three years. It's a miracle it actually happened in the end. That's got to be a
00:17:56.460
sign of hope, right? In its own way, the success of Brexit and Farage in the face of such universal
00:18:02.180
condemnation from the elites mirrors the success of Trump and his deplorables. Brexit's
00:18:08.020
democratic will was frustrated for three years by the globalist left. The same forces in America
00:18:15.040
who tried to smear Trump as a Russian spy for years. And when that didn't work, they tried to
00:18:20.000
impeach him. All it did was make politics more sour and divided and show all of us that the
00:18:27.040
establishment sort of hates us and hates our democratic voices. So when will that Brexit and
00:18:33.420
Trump spirit come to Canada? That's what I want to know. Well, for now, that spirit, it's us,
00:18:42.980
my friends. It's you and me. Stay with us for more.
00:18:47.640
The very first day of your protest, did Rheinshawg accidentally run into you? Was it an accident or was
00:19:05.980
it orchestrated by your parents well beforehand? I can understand why people are concerned that the
00:19:11.980
premise of your school strike was never actually the innocent thing that it was. You never were
00:19:18.200
actually leaving a classroom, were you? When the public relations specialist just chanced upon you,
00:19:36.540
when they took a photo of you sitting on the ground, how scripted was that? Was it pre-planned?
00:19:44.180
Did you know that there was going to be the blowback from the German train authority pointing
00:19:53.760
Hey, what are you doing? Don't touch me. Who do you think you are?
00:19:57.940
I'm asking questions. Yes. I want to ask Greta some questions. Yes. Well, as you may know,
00:20:08.380
that is an excerpt from our documentary video called Greta Inc. Of course, Greta being Greta
00:20:16.100
Thunberg, the Swedish child actor who has been deployed as the saint of global warming. And by
00:20:23.500
Greta Inc., we mean, well, who was really behind her? Who's pulling the strings? Who's financing the
00:20:30.220
whole thing? We sent our Kian Bexley to Stockholm to find out Kian is not only the best journalist
00:20:36.900
covering Greta Thunberg, but he's also the only journalist covering Greta Thunberg as a journalist
00:20:42.980
as opposed to a stenographer. We called that documentary Greta Inc. to emphasize that she's part
00:20:48.980
of a larger corporation that somehow manages to stay hidden from any other journalist because
00:20:54.680
they're not curious about it. We called it that tongue-in-cheek, really, but alas, it's actually
00:21:01.120
come true. She's incorporating and trademarking her own name like some running dog capitalist in here
00:21:09.320
to tell us all about it. It is the only reporter in the world who seems to be a skeptic. Kian
00:21:14.260
Bexley, Kian, how are you doing? Good. How are you? Good. Are you burning fossil fuels to stay warm
00:21:19.300
out there? I am, and I'm filling up at the co-op as well. Now, when you were in Sweden earlier this
00:21:26.360
month, it looked chilly, and I was in Denmark, which wasn't further away. It was cold. I mean,
00:21:32.220
in the wintertime, it's so far north there, the sun sets around 4 p.m., you know, so it's cold all day,
00:21:39.400
and then it's a long, cold night. There is no one in the north that does not use fossil fuels,
00:21:46.160
including Greta Thunberg. That's just one of a hundred ways she's a fraud, isn't she?
00:21:52.500
Yeah. I mean, Sweden's electrical grid isn't run on 100% renewables. Every time Greta Thunberg
00:21:59.460
charges her phone to start tweeting, she's using fossil fuels, whether she likes it or not.
00:22:04.360
Everyone up there needs it. Everyone in Canada needs it. Everyone across the world needs cheap,
00:22:10.240
reliable access to fuel and energy, and Greta is a hypocrite in more ways than one,
00:22:17.040
especially when it comes to her energy usage. Now, her whole thing, her whole power is her
00:22:22.340
authenticity, and I think that she's sort of in on the trick, but I think she also is genuinely
00:22:30.120
has raw and perhaps, well, emotions that border on mental illness. I mean, we've shown this clip
00:22:41.300
a dozen times, and it was in your documentary, but I want to show it again briefly. Greta Thunberg,
00:22:46.000
in her own words, talking about her extreme depression, losing an enormous amount of weight,
00:22:54.180
autism, Asperger's, selective mutism. Here's a quick clip in her own words.
00:22:58.300
So when I was 11, I became ill. I fell into depression. I stopped talking, and I stopped
00:23:05.880
eating. In two months, I lost about 10 kilos of weight. Later on, I was diagnosed with Asperger's
00:23:15.740
syndrome, OCD, and selective mutism. So my theory, Kian, is that she's effective because she genuinely
00:23:25.060
is in a state of panic of the world all the time. She really is depressed, and she doesn't know how
00:23:30.500
to handle it. So she lives her depression as a form of therapy by merging it with politics. I think
00:23:37.520
she's a little bit aware of the game, but she's also a victim of it. I think they're abusing her
00:23:44.180
psychologically. But that's why she's so powerful, because it comes across as honest, which it sort of
00:23:51.000
is. Yeah, you're right. And her father's actually admitted that on BBC, saying that it's like a
00:23:57.620
Xanax of sorts for Greta Thunberg. She wouldn't eat, she wouldn't sleep, she wouldn't talk to people
00:24:04.400
until she started this protest outside of the Swedish parliament, which really was not a school
00:24:10.820
strike like we were led to believe. It was allowed to time off from school. She doesn't want you to know
00:24:16.300
that. But her father says on BBC that when she started protesting, in the third day of her
00:24:22.720
protest, someone brought her vegan pad thai. Now, I don't know what kind of father lets their daughter
00:24:29.160
eat street food handed to them from a random person. But he says that this was a huge step for
00:24:34.320
her, that the protesting was working as a sort of therapy for her, which is a little bit unfortunate
00:24:39.420
that she doesn't have, or at least the parents are denying her typical therapy, typical means of
00:24:46.120
therapy. Because what she's doing, the side effects of what she's doing, is hurting children
00:24:52.240
across the world. Mental illness is skyrocketing among children. I think it was a report out of
00:24:57.320
Australia. Kids think that the world is ending as they watch it. And it's not fair to them that
00:25:05.480
Greta Thunberg's therapy is being used as, Greta Thunberg's mental illness is being treated at the
00:25:12.040
expense of other kids. Yeah. You know, when you say mental illness is contagious, someone might say,
00:25:18.320
well, that's not true. It's not like a virus. But if you see other people acting out in a certain way,
00:25:23.740
I mean, there is a madness of crowds. And if you see a young person who is glorified, and you see that
00:25:31.480
her way of coping with this junk science panic is to say the world is ending, there's no point in
00:25:39.540
going to school, we're all going to die in, is it 12 years or 10 years or eight years or eight months
00:25:44.580
or whatever. That, I mean, it's not contagious like a virus, but to see that in a mimetic way,
00:25:51.020
just like laughing is contagious, yawning is contagious, depression is contagious,
00:25:58.340
especially when teachers teach their children, be terrified. I think it's a form of child abuse.
00:26:04.020
But the reason we're talking about all this is because Greta Inc., that was the name of our documentary,
00:26:08.660
she actually is incorporating and trademarking, isn't she?
00:26:13.800
Yeah. She announced on this huge information dump on Instagram that, among other things,
00:26:20.080
she's trademarking her name. She's trademarking the term school strike for climate. She's
00:26:24.980
trademarking Fridays for Future. She's really just catching it all so that she can start profiting
00:26:30.500
off of this. Now, she says it's going to be a nonprofit, but we know how the Clinton Foundation
00:26:35.180
works. You expense the lavish meals and the trips across the world, and it's all run under this guise
00:26:42.640
of nonprofit. The term nonprofit is really misleading to a lot of people, and people think
00:26:46.780
that it's this innocent thing. But Greta Thunberg, in this post on Instagram where she says she's
00:26:50.700
trademarking her name and et cetera, she says that this nonprofit will be dispersing the money that
00:26:56.740
they raise through donations, which she said just previously she wasn't accepting at all,
00:27:00.660
and now apparently she is and she has been for some time. That money is going to be dispersed to
00:27:05.820
third parties, which is, you know, another scheme that these people use to make the money untraceful.
00:27:11.540
So it says, oh, we gave it to the, you know, green lobby for the European Union or something like
00:27:18.740
that. And who are the people running that? It just makes it harder and harder to trace the paper trail
00:27:24.220
when they do it like this. And it's all part of the scheme of Greta incorporating. And it's,
00:27:29.080
I find it really funny that not even six days after we released our documentary entitled Greta Inc.,
00:27:36.380
Yeah. And I'm sure this will be all taken in stride. I mean, it's like Michael Moore,
00:27:41.560
the socialist activist with his three houses, or Bernie Sanders, the socialist, the millionaire.
00:27:47.480
You know, where normal journalists would have some scrutiny and curiosity and skepticism,
00:27:52.120
journalists turn into stenographers for these. Listen, I want to ask you one last thing before
00:27:57.320
we let you go. I saw your videos. I'd like to share with our viewers. I didn't understand this
00:28:04.480
at first. There was a fence put up around a gas station to stop people going to it. And I thought,
00:28:09.880
well, of course, that's the gas station. No, no, no. This was someone else putting a fence around
00:28:15.340
a gas station, not the gas station. These were Unifor extremists coming to Southern Alberta,
00:28:22.120
and literally putting a metal fence around a company they hated to stop its customers from
00:28:28.000
getting in here. Let's play a little bit of that.
00:28:29.440
Hey guys, how are you? How are you? Oh, I'm staying warm. I'm staying warm, sir.
00:28:35.320
What are you with? I don't know what I'm talking to you. Why? Why is that? Because you're not
00:28:38.180
a journalist. Are you guys from... Big fucking assholes. Get out of here. Are you guys from
00:28:44.720
Alberta? Here, you fucking right-wing assholes. Are you from Alberta? Beat it. Beat it. Is
00:28:49.820
anyone here from Alberta? You're right-wing assholes. Are you from Alberta? Are you from
00:28:54.700
Alberta? Are you from Alberta? One day longer. One day stronger. One day longer. One day stronger.
00:29:02.000
So these union thugs have come to Alberta from out of province to protest the co-op, which is kind
00:29:08.820
of funny because normally unionists like to stick it to corporate elites. But in fact, they're actually
00:29:14.120
just sticking it to the owners of this co-op. The co-op operates as a cooperative. So everyone
00:29:19.520
sort of pitches in to the business and the ownership is distributed amongst the customers.
00:29:24.520
It's really weird that they're protesting it. And it is even more weird that they're coming
00:29:28.160
from out of province to hurt businesses, local businesses here in Alberta.
00:29:34.000
Well, Kian, it took me a while to understand. I remember you were telling me this on the phone.
00:29:40.360
What you were saying, is it okay for me to go over a fence into the property? I was saying,
00:29:43.560
well, if it's a fence, you can't go into the property. I thought the fence was put up by
00:29:47.160
the property owner. And you were asking, can I trespass? I'm saying, no, no, no. But it was the
00:29:51.840
opposite. You wanted to get lawful entry into the gas station, but it was illegal, uniform extremists
00:29:59.100
that put up this fence. And the cops just were fine with it. That's what boggled my mind. The cops
00:30:04.500
really let a bunch of foreign strangers put a fence up around an Alberta business.
00:30:10.220
Yeah, I couldn't believe it myself. And I wasn't really sure what the situation was, because
00:30:15.820
there's no reporters there. And any reporter that was there beforehand, because there was a few the
00:30:23.660
day before I went, but they weren't really showing what was going on there. And I was kind of confused
00:30:27.900
as to why we weren't getting the full story. And then I remembered that most journalists are
00:30:32.300
represented by Unifor, the exact same union that is protesting there. So I show up with a bale truck
00:30:40.720
for feeding cattle and a ladder in case I had to climb over one of these eight foot fences.
00:30:45.540
Luckily, these unionists don't know how to put up fences. So I just kind of walked through a ditch
00:30:49.160
with my jerry can of fuel to make the point that those union thug tactics aren't going to work on the
00:30:56.260
customers from Cars Land and the greater southern Alberta area. Because this specific fuel hub that
00:31:03.520
Unifor is protesting at is a fuel hub where fuel comes from the Regina refinery, which is sort of
00:31:09.820
the nexus point of their protests. It has nothing to do with anything in Alberta. What happens in
00:31:14.580
Alberta doesn't affect the wages or working regime of these union workers. But for some reason,
00:31:21.460
they've come to take out their anger on local Albertans who have nothing to do with their
00:31:27.220
plight. So they've put up this eight foot fence around the property, inhibiting trucks and vehicles
00:31:31.800
from getting in. There's one co-op truck that is used to, it goes to the hub, fills up with fuel,
00:31:39.180
and then it takes it to a local gas station somewhere in southern Alberta. There's a truck in the lineup.
00:31:43.840
There's about half a dozen of them. One of them has been there waiting since Monday to fill up.
00:31:48.240
And slowly, but surely, gas stations in southern Alberta are going to run out of fuel. And it's
00:31:55.240
going to materially hurt the businesses, be it farmers, be it small time truckers, who just need
00:32:02.340
to fill up with fuel to, you know, we're on the cusp of calving season here. They'll need to fill up
00:32:06.800
with fuel to feed their cattle and to drive to Lethbridge and whatever it is to take their kids
00:32:11.740
to soccer, to hockey practice. But these union thugs, for some reason, are stopping them from
00:32:18.200
doing it and taking their anger out on Albertans and it's just not fair. You know, the cops you
00:32:21.860
talked to there, the cops who said they're going to do nothing, they're paid by taxpayers to enforce
00:32:29.000
the law. They're called law enforcement officers. And if they won't enforce the law,
00:32:33.200
in this case, against trespass, you could even call it false imprisonment, perhaps.
00:32:42.200
One day, someone who's in a bad situation will take the law in their own hands in a vigilante way.
00:32:48.400
Now, that might just be driving over this poorly erected fence to get their gas, but it could be
00:32:54.080
something more. And in that case, I think that, in fact, right now, the scrutiny should turn to the
00:32:59.980
RCMP, why are they standing down? It reminds me completely of when they stood by as that farm
00:33:09.300
invasion robbery of 50 or 60 environmental extremists attacked a turkey farm. Well, they're
00:33:16.680
doing the same, you know, a dozen union extremists are doing the same in southern Alberta to a gas
00:33:25.180
station, and the RCMP is just sitting around. It's bringing the police into disrepute. And
00:33:31.080
I thought we were done with this after the Turkey invasion. I think there's a problem here. Last
00:33:36.080
word to you, Kian. I think you're absolutely right about that. And it actually has led to a bit of
00:33:42.040
pushing and shoving between a co-op customer and a union thug. They were trying to stop his car from
00:33:46.920
truck from getting in, they moved the fence. We actually have that video, if you'd like to play it,
00:34:19.680
I mean, I'm not for physical assault, but I tell you, if a guy's blocking a truck and if he's a
00:34:35.100
trespasser himself and he's got an illegal fence, you know, I don't prescribe violence. I certainly
00:34:40.420
don't. Not that that guy was hurt, but you can understand why a guy who needs to fill up with gas,
00:34:45.640
because maybe his car's going to run out of gas or he needs to, whatever reason, you can understand
00:34:50.420
the frustration there. And I blame the cops who are right there allowing that to happen. I'm not
00:34:56.140
for violence, but I can understand it when some union boss who has no connection to the location
00:35:05.180
is stopping a local community from living. Very, very frustrating. Well, listen, Kian, stay safe.
00:35:11.060
And I look forward to your next journalistic adventures and have a great weekend and we'll
00:35:15.940
talk to you soon. Sounds good, Ezra. All right. There you have it. Kian Beck, Steve, whether it's
00:35:20.900
Stockholm, Sweden or Cars Land, Alberta, he's on the scene. Stay with us. More Ahead on the Rebel.
00:35:25.520
Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about Trudeau's plan to regulate media on the internet.
00:35:39.400
Leon writes, holy cow, they're following China's totalitarian ideas. Soon enough, we won't be able
00:35:45.200
to criticize government officials. Yeah, I mean, and the funny thing is I report on these things,
00:35:52.240
but occasionally I become the subject of reports, right? I mean, I really was summoned to a high
00:35:59.000
security office to be interrogated for an hour. So I'm not just writing about these things. I'm
00:36:04.200
like getting my leg caught in these leg hole traps. But so far, I've been able to pry them open.
00:36:10.720
But, you know, we really do need more allies here. It's been, what, 48 hours or so since we released
00:36:18.320
my hidden camera footage of my interrogation. And I cannot name one elected MP who has even said
00:36:28.240
something as meek as, well, I don't really agree with everything Ezra Levant and the rebels say,
00:36:35.060
mandatory disclaimer. But I'm a little uncomfortable with them being grilled over a book. Like, not even
00:36:41.640
something that lukewarm and tepid. I think that's what's pitiful. Like, of course, the leftist civil
00:36:48.860
libertarians don't care. But where are the concerns? If you can't even marshal yourself to speak out
00:36:54.960
against an hour-long interrogation by federal investigators, we're doomed. Well, that sounds a
00:37:03.260
little negative. Keep hope alive, right? Chris writes, regulate equals control. Absolutely.
00:37:10.460
Absolutely. I mean, I never took Latin, but I'm sort of an amateur dabbler. And regulate, I think,
00:37:17.480
comes from, you know, R-E-G, Rex, King, you know, to be a dominant royalty over us, to regulate us.
00:37:28.860
I think that's where regulate comes from. On the conservative leadership race and having a bilingual
00:37:33.480
leader, Grant writes, I would rather have a prime minister who speaks economics than French or English.
00:37:39.260
I can always get a translation if I need one. But a PM who is not fluent in economics is a danger to
00:37:44.020
the country. My advice to the media, focus on the meat, not the wrapping paper. Well, look, of course,
00:37:49.980
it's better if someone can speak to the whole country. And I'm not saying, I mean, I'm not a
00:37:54.900
supporter of official state bilingualism. I'm just saying as a practical matter, to be able to speak
00:38:01.240
to a quarter of the country in their native tongue. Obviously, it's a plus. It's a plus during a
00:38:07.000
campaign. And it's a plus when you're governing. And, you know, I consume a lot of media in a day.
00:38:12.460
I read a lot of newspapers. I'm not reading the French language stuff because I don't really speak
00:38:16.880
it. So yeah, it's better. But that should not be a litmus test. Otherwise, you're locking out huge
00:38:25.260
swaths of the population. And they're trying to move that litmus test to other things, too,
00:38:29.920
like the Supreme Court. No, I mean, there was a time when you had an Anglo prime minister with sort
00:38:38.660
of a Quebec deputy. And frankly, let's be honest, Stephen Harper never really had a lot of support
00:38:47.340
in Quebec. And yet he managed to get a majority government. Maybe that's the way to go. Well,
00:38:53.380
my friends, thank you for being with us all week. What a busy week it was. And I can assure you we
00:38:58.320
will have more for you next week. Until then, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:39:04.100
to you at home, good night and keep fighting for freedom.
