Transcript
00:00:00.000
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Rebel News live stream on this
00:00:20.840
a Tuesday, February the 8th, 2022. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, well, let me tell
00:00:27.660
you about my co-host. She's the reason why I'm not watching the Beijing Winter Olympics because,
00:00:33.520
hey, she is a platinum medalist when it comes to getting the truth out there. She is the she-devil
00:00:39.620
with a sword. She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is Sheila Gunn-Reed. How you doing
00:00:47.040
there, Sheila? Sheila, I'm so sorry, but we have a technical difficulty. I don't know if you can hear
00:00:51.400
me, but I cannot hear you for some reason. Ah, that's because I had my microphone muted. That's
00:00:58.280
fine, because when you called me, I went upstairs. Like, when the office called me, I went upstairs
00:01:03.100
to get a coffee, and I thought, they don't need to hear me rummaging around my house, so I put my
00:01:07.000
microphone on mute and then forgot to bring it back on. But what I was saying was, David, I have
00:01:12.620
missed your introduction. You know, while you were gone, everybody, every woman needs someone
00:01:21.260
cheering for them the way you cheer for me. Well, it's so wonderful to know that there are some
00:01:29.020
women that welcome my presence as opposed to running the other way from me. But what's wrong
00:01:34.720
with Adam Seuss? Why can't he do the, you know, the five-star introduction for you? You are certainly
00:01:40.840
worthy of it, Sheila Gunn-Reed. Nobody does it like you do, David. Now, wasn't that the name of a song
00:01:47.520
in the 70s? You know what, I'm sure that's the first time in your life anybody's ever said that to
00:01:52.240
you. You are correct. I know that I am a lot smaller than David in real life, but I feel like we are not
00:02:02.000
to scale currently. David looks like the Hulk. No, don't make me bigger. Make David smaller.
00:02:07.600
Yeah, I look like the Hulk when in reality, I'm more like Ant-Man. So, you know, if we can
00:02:18.800
Enough chicanery, Sheila. It is so busy. We have a topic sheet here. Holy mackerel. I don't know if
00:02:25.440
we'll get around to even half of these, but also a heads up, I believe Premier Scott Moell will be
00:02:31.360
having a presser. I think it was the start a few minutes ago, but, you know, these fellows are
00:02:37.660
always late, especially Justin Trudeau. I mean, he has an arduous commute. One flight of stairs
00:02:44.440
down that cottage of his, you know. Three steps.
00:02:49.360
I know. Always at least 20 minutes late in his own house, right? But in any event, why don't we very
00:02:56.920
quickly get to the housekeeping rules that you're so good at stating, Sheila, in terms of what we're
00:03:03.120
trying to do here and why we might have to port away from YouTube at some point?
00:03:09.520
Sure. And the day, today, the news, there's so much. So we've got an announcement from Scott Moe.
00:03:16.000
Jason Kenney just tweeted a few minutes ago that the return to normal in Alberta will be announced
00:03:21.920
at five, but he put if in, in like his tweet, like if pressure continues to decline on hospitals,
00:03:29.560
we might have the best spring ever. Sure. And, and we have the guys, if we've got a news about a
00:03:40.740
liberal, finally, finally, the first one breaking ranks with the party over lockdown restrictions.
00:03:44.900
And the first one to say that, hey, maybe we actually should listen to the hundred thousand
00:03:50.120
people that showed up on our doorstep to tell us what they think of us. Maybe we should maybe just
00:03:54.380
go out there and listen to them. And we've got just breaking just moments ago, news about Pastor
00:04:00.500
Art Poloski. So, yes. So we want to get to that. We're just sorting out the details now. We've already
00:04:06.460
got lawyers engaged as we tend to do with Pastor Art. So we'll get to that right away, but I'll get the
00:04:11.800
housekeeping stuff out of the way right away. And I'll do it as quickly as possible for our regular
00:04:16.020
viewers who get annoyed that I do this every time. But I have to assume that some of you are new.
00:04:21.440
Thank you for being with us from the very beginning, but we're getting new friends all the time.
00:04:27.120
Okay. So this is the Rebel News daily live stream. It used to just be on YouTube, just on Fridays,
00:04:33.920
just hosted by Ezra. But then the pandemic struck, there's more news than ever. So we expended it to
00:04:40.180
five days a week. The problem though, with YouTube is that they are now a censorship platform. They
00:04:45.740
demonetized us and they put this whole host of crazy rules about things we can't talk about. Things
00:04:51.260
that you could talk about on NBC or CNN, but if Rebel News says them, ah, gone from the internet
00:04:56.580
forever, just pretend like we don't even exist. So we don't want to abandon YouTube. We are broadcasting
00:05:02.340
on actually now four other platforms simultaneously. So when we get to a point on YouTube, when we are
00:05:10.400
going to say things that will get us canceled, we just cut the feed altogether. And we encourage
00:05:14.060
the people watching us on YouTube to maybe come over to another platform that doesn't care about
00:05:18.140
your politics, like Odyssey, Rumble, and Super U. And all three of those give you a way to support
00:05:24.420
the work that we do completely willingly, instead of like what Justin Trudeau does with the mainstream
00:05:28.620
media. He just reaches into your pocket and he's like, here, you guys are making stuff nobody wants.
00:05:33.120
Here's some money for that. And we're also live streaming simultaneously on Getter,
00:05:39.680
which is new for us. But Getter is the free speech alternative to the censorship platform
00:05:45.680
of Twitter. And I've made a commitment to spend a little bit more time on Getter than I do on
00:05:52.120
Twitter, because why am I giving Twitter my gold for free? So I'm going to start spending a little
00:05:57.660
bit more time over on Getter. And that those are the nuts and bolts. Now, Mr. Producer AD tells me
00:06:03.340
that Scott Moe, he's live now. Do we want to go to that? Oh, and there's Kelly.
00:06:14.180
We're having some audio problems with Premier Scott Moe, but I see our friend Kelly,
00:06:30.660
our Saskatchewan-based journalist and Saskatchewan analyst, let's say. She's joining us
00:06:37.940
to give us some expert analysis on what Scott Moe has to say. So maybe cut back out. I hear his audio.
00:06:45.120
Hello. How is everyone today? I look giant here.
00:06:49.460
...transmission of Omicron like it via your previous variants. And I will continue to encourage
00:06:54.560
everyone and anyone that is eligible to go out and get vaccinated. Your first, your second,
00:06:59.980
and ultimately your booster dose. As vaccines most certainly do provide significant protection
00:07:05.100
against serious illness from Omicron or any other variant. However, if someone makes a different
00:07:10.680
choice about whether or not they are vaccinated, that's their right. And this government is going
00:07:16.340
to respect that right. Today, with Omicron, the benefits of the proof of vaccination policy
00:07:22.560
no longer outweigh the costs. This policy most certainly has run its course. So it's time for
00:07:28.440
us to take a step back in living with COVID and to get, to make every effort to get our lives back
00:07:34.160
to normal. It's time for us also to heal the divisions in our communities over vaccination.
00:07:40.380
Those divisions are in our families. They're, yes, they're in our communities, but they are
00:07:44.380
across our province and they're across this nation. It's time for us to come together as families,
00:07:49.460
as friends, as, as communities and as a province and as a nation. And it's time for us to reach out
00:07:55.200
and support one another. Let's not judge our neighbor because they may be vaccinated or because
00:08:00.980
they may not be vaccinated. Let's not judge our neighbor if they should choose to wear a mask or
00:08:06.440
not to choose to wear a mask in the weeks ahead. Whenever someone is doing their own personal risk
00:08:12.320
assessment, which we have asked them to do in this province for a period of time now,
00:08:15.680
they're doing that assessment for themselves, possibly for their family, and they may come
00:08:21.320
back with a, a different decision than what you might arrive at. And that different conclusion,
00:08:27.460
albeit maybe different from where you have landed, should not be judged. It should be respected
00:08:33.480
and it should be accepted. It's time for each of us as individuals now to make a conscious effort
00:08:40.100
to treat everyone in our daily lives that we encounter equally. It's also time for the
00:08:45.520
proof of vaccination mandate to end. So effective at midnight this Sunday, February the 13th,
00:08:50.820
all provincial proof of vaccination requirements will end. In Saskatchewan businesses, in venues and
00:08:56.900
provincially regulated workplaces, this means that the proof of vaccination or the negative test option
00:09:02.100
that we provided will no longer be a provincial requirement. Starting on Valentine's Day, February the
00:09:08.540
14th, this will be the case. This will leave one remaining COVID measure in place and that is
00:09:14.540
indoor masking. That measure remains in effect until the end of February. I want to thank all of the
00:09:21.160
businesses and the venues and the workplaces who have shifted course throughout this pandemic to
00:09:25.400
keep their employees and to keep their customers safe. And all of those who implemented and administered
00:09:30.420
the proof of vaccination or proof of negative test policy over the course of the past few months.
00:09:35.620
Thank you for doing your part in our fight against COVID. And again, I want to thank everyone who made
00:09:43.420
this choice. It is a wise choice to ultimately go out and get vaccinated. You are keeping yourself safe.
00:09:51.900
As we move into this next phase, the phase of now living with COVID, I would ask you to continue
00:09:58.720
to make wise choices. This is paramount to our success. Go get your booster dose if you haven't already.
00:10:05.620
Stay home if you're not feeling well. Do a rapid test from time to time. If you do test positive,
00:10:11.400
we want you to stay at home for five days. But let's all in the meantime also get back to living our
00:10:17.300
lives normally and doing the things that we all love to do. And let's all make that extra effort
00:10:23.800
to be just a little more understanding of others when we may disagree.
00:10:28.740
In fact, this may well be our largest challenge in getting our lives back to normal in our in our
00:10:34.640
families, in our communities, in our friendship groups and in our province. We must realize that
00:10:40.000
it's okay for us to disagree. We do hold strong opinions in this province and those are on full
00:10:44.980
display often. But we can disagree without being disagreeable. Don't lose a friend to COVID.
00:10:52.200
You might have to take some time apart, but keep that door open. Time and time again, Saskatchewan
00:10:59.440
people have proven that we achieve great things when we come together and when we work together.
00:11:04.820
And when we accept those who may have a different opinion than we do. And when we respect others'
00:11:13.700
individual decisions. We are poised to lead this nation through COVID and we are poised to lead the
00:11:21.140
world in an economic recovery in this province. So let's work together. Let's work together to heal
00:11:28.260
some of the divisions. Let's understand that we can forgive our friends, our family members, maybe even
00:11:34.020
ourselves, if that is necessary. Let's work to heal those divisions. Let's come together and let's
00:11:39.380
once again be ourselves in our communities. This is a great province. This is a united province.
00:11:44.900
But most importantly, this is a tolerant province and we are going to need all of that tolerance in
00:11:48.900
the days ahead. It's time for us to move. Thank you. Dr. Shahab, do you have some comments?
00:11:55.700
Thank you, Premier. I'll just clarify a few things. I think that's good.
00:11:59.300
That obviously vaccines remain available 5 to 11 per second door.
00:12:03.300
Yeah, I don't need to listen to the public health necromancer tell us about vaccines for kids. I'm good.
00:12:10.180
Yeah, look at this ridiculous man. You could tell. I could tell his politics by his mask.
00:12:16.420
Um, but that was phenomenal. That was great. And that is a politician acknowledging that this has not
00:12:24.420
just separated people because of the biomedical police state, but this is politically separated
00:12:31.940
people that families are divided now over the issue of vaccine passports, social distancing.
00:12:39.220
This is cracked families and societies apart. And he's right to call for tolerance. I don't want to
00:12:46.900
see somebody like I just gave that guy a hard time because he's just sitting there wearing a mask in
00:12:51.460
a press conference eight feet away from the next person. So I'm not the best person to be talking
00:12:56.500
about this. But at the same time, yeah, if you see somebody who wants to live in fear and drive
00:13:01.380
around in their car with a mask, I might just have a little chuckle to myself, but I'm not going to yell at
00:13:06.820
him. And, uh, I, I hope that the same goes the other way. And I think that Scott Moe feels the same
00:13:12.900
way. Well, Sheila, I'll take, um, you know, the end of proof of vaccination mandates over a dozen
00:13:21.700
roses on Valentine's day, any day. Um, and, and a month of course, as a premier Moe said, uh, no more,
00:13:29.060
uh, indoor masking. It looks like the, what do you call them? The necromancer. I wonder if
00:13:34.740
his mask comes off anytime soon, but you know, uh, I see we are joined, uh, by our Saskatchewan
00:13:44.020
correspondent, Kelly Lamb. How you doing there, Kelly? And since you live in that province,
00:13:48.420
what's your take on the premier's announcement? Well, I'm all smiles right now. Um, even though
00:13:54.900
I didn't get such an incredible introduction as Sheila did, I'm a little insulted, but otherwise
00:13:58.580
I'm in a great mood. Uh, this is fantastic news. I was live when he made the announcement that he was
00:14:04.340
going to eventually make this announcement. And I was excited then, but a bit shepherded issues
00:14:08.020
because you don't know what's going to happen. He's lied a couple of times. It was very vague.
00:14:12.100
And then he kept announcing that he was going to announce it and he would announce it again. And
00:14:16.100
here we are finally with a resolution of some kind. So I'm pleased. And like Sheila said, I'm very
00:14:20.820
pleased to see that not only is he addressing the logistical elements, but he is addressing the
00:14:26.020
societal elements and how this has affected people and telling people to be kind to each other.
00:14:30.580
Now I will say to hold him to account, he was not so kind, uh, in the beginning. I've called
00:14:35.540
him out on that a couple of times as I'm sure other rebels have. Uh, I think it was December 7th.
00:14:39.940
He spoke about D taking away the stigmatization of the Vax. And that was the first time we saw him
00:14:45.460
sort of turn a corner in his language before that. It was very much, we're sick of this. You know,
00:14:49.860
we don't have the patience. It's not, we're not asking you to go to Normandy. We're just asking you
00:14:52.820
to get a needle. It was very degrading. So it's nice to see that he has shifted,
00:14:56.980
turned a corner. And now that has led to action, which is extremely good for this province. And
00:15:01.620
oh, he is going to take flack for this from the media. So he better be prepared in the weeks to
00:15:05.700
come. And ladies, let me throw this out to you. I want to get your point of view. I might be wrong,
00:15:10.660
but you know, the detractors of the freedom convoy say, aside from these truckers and their
00:15:16.740
supporters having a big temper tantrum and honking horns, what have they tangibly accomplished in the
00:15:23.620
almost two weeks to be in here? Exactly, Sheila. I think you see provinces moving to end the
00:15:28.980
mandates. I think this was the catalyst for Erno Toole getting kicked out of caucus. I think it was
00:15:35.060
the catalyst for Pierre Poliev finally throwing his ring back in for the leadership of the Conservative
00:15:41.940
Party of Canada. Am I wrong here or are we seeing tangible benefits? No, it's one of those rare times
00:15:49.300
that you're right. I'm kidding. We watched Jason Kenney go from we're rolling restrictions back
00:15:58.500
at the end of March to, oh, maybe we're going to do it at the end of February to we're going to do it
00:16:03.380
in a couple weeks from now, which would have been like Valentine's Day to he's making announcements
00:16:07.780
today about rolling restrictions back immediately. And that timeline didn't just jump back 60 days
00:16:15.620
because the science suddenly changed or things suddenly changed in hospitals. The political
00:16:22.580
climate changed. And I don't even think the political climate changed. I think there was a
00:16:28.740
tangible manifestation of how people are really feeling taking place in a convoy. It's easy to say,
00:16:34.460
well, I think people are feeling that way or the polls are showing this. But when you have entire
00:16:38.620
Canadian communities dumping out onto the highway to show support for a convoy that has no intention on
00:16:44.580
ending and a growing blockade in Coutts that has turned Milk River into the biggest town in Southern
00:16:51.220
Alberta, where farmers are engaged in civil disobedience once again here in Alberta, that can spook a lot of
00:16:59.860
politicians. Like the second the convoy landed in Ottawa, Scott Moe was like, you know what, we're opening
00:17:07.620
up science, science, follow the science, we're following the science and science. Science says
00:17:14.260
we got to open up when it was clearly, clearly, clearly the convoy the very day it landed in Ottawa.
00:17:19.540
That's the day he made an announcement. And I know because Kelly was on air with me when it happened.
00:17:24.420
I do think it's kind of weird, though, his timeline, because Valentine's Day, you will be kissing
00:17:29.940
through a mask because indoor masks are until the end of the month. So that's weird. But whatever,
00:17:36.020
there's a lot of people who will do that. We've seen it.
00:17:38.740
And I want to ask Kelly, you know Saskatchewan better than Sheila and I, of course, being there.
00:17:44.180
If you were to commission a poll, for example, on what Premier Moe just announced,
00:17:50.580
does this get majority thumbs up or thumbs down?
00:17:55.300
Well, like with other places in the country, it very much depends on where you are. So if you're in
00:17:59.780
rural Saskatchewan, even though, generally speaking, a lot of people are vaccinated, most people,
00:18:04.500
the rural folks don't want to throw their neighbors under the bus for not being vaccinated. They still
00:18:09.060
want to be normal. It's your decision. It's a much more common sense thing, generally speaking.
00:18:13.300
That said, the fear has gotten to people as well in Saskatchewan. And it was surprising to me how much,
00:18:18.100
but it depends on, of course, I guess the demographics and whatnot. But I find in general,
00:18:22.500
people here have been less toxic, less caustic to each other over this. And so for me, I think this is
00:18:28.660
going to be big because a lot of people just said we're doing it because Scott Moe said so.
00:18:32.980
And when you ask people their reasoning, whether it's employers in the sort of industry
00:18:37.460
sort of side of it, or whether it's more governmental agencies, most of them have done
00:18:41.220
it because the higher up said to, and the higher up does it because the next higher up says to,
00:18:44.660
and so on. It's only being done because he sanctioned it. And so a lot of these people
00:18:49.380
are going to be relaxing just because he said they can. And I've already seen this happen at my
00:18:54.100
mother's condo, people that were very staunch and very afraid. And they put down the strict mandate,
00:18:59.060
and they were very cocky about it. And as soon as he said he was going to lift it,
00:19:02.340
it just took one person in that senior's condo to say, hey, maybe it's time. And they thought,
00:19:06.100
well, Scott Moe did it. We'll do it. And so I think that's really what's going to,
00:19:08.900
it's going to come down to you. People in Saskatchewan are caring for each other. We're
00:19:12.740
the type of people that raise more for, you know, tell a miracle every year than other places. We're
00:19:16.500
the kind of place that started universal health care. We are not cold to other people's needs.
00:19:21.940
And I think what happened was just a massive propaganda campaign of telling people that
00:19:26.740
there's only one way to care about your neighbor, and that is to get the vaccine and then shun
00:19:30.740
other people if they don't have it. Thankfully, most people didn't fully get on board, but it is
00:19:34.820
going to be a shift. And we do have a lot of people that will be mad. The NDP are going to be
00:19:39.940
really upset about this. But I think for the most part, from what we're seeing at protests and stuff,
00:19:43.940
the counter protesters to the convoy and whatnot are pretty small. It's pretty minimal. So if you read the
00:19:49.380
MSM, you'll see a different view. But generally speaking, people are done. And I think they're
00:19:53.540
ready to move on. And they don't care whether their neighbor is vaccinated or not. So that's
00:19:57.780
what I'm hearing in general. Well, you know, I got to tell you, I think you're right, Kelly. And
00:20:02.100
of course, what is the NDP not upset about? And I got to tell you, after spending the weekend
00:20:08.420
in Ottawa, just got back last night, I felt like I was on a time machine. I went back in time to 2019.
00:20:14.340
Nobody was wearing masks, even into restaurants, the few in the downtown core that were open.
00:20:20.180
People were so friendly. There were hugs all around. Haven't heard anything of downtown
00:20:24.660
Ottawa becoming a super spreader for any of the various variants of the coronavirus.
00:20:32.500
So, you know, Sheila, let's get back to normal. I got to tell you, the last few weekends,
00:20:38.980
I've been watching the NFL games. Again, it's like a different universe. A stadia that seat almost
00:20:45.220
80,000 people, no masks. They're sitting cheek to jowl, no social distancing. And when you look at
00:20:52.100
whether it's Kansas City or Tennessee or Los Angeles, there's no spikes in the coronavirus.
00:20:58.740
What is holding up all the other provinces from getting online as of right now to get back to
00:21:08.020
normalcy? Politics. We are run by a bunch of people who have never done anything genuinely
00:21:16.980
good for another person in the world. And so this is my non-scientific, just my own observation of the
00:21:24.660
world. The desire to hang on to masks and restrictions and distancing and vaccine passports
00:21:32.340
is driven by and large by the most selfish people in the world who have never done anything for
00:21:39.860
anybody else. And so they have this thing that shows that I'm just like a hero. I'm a hero because
00:21:47.700
I wear this mask and I'm saving lives. And so when you take this away from them, this thing that says that
00:21:53.940
you're a hero, you're just like a police officer, um, when you take that away from them, they go back
00:21:58.820
to their life of mediocrity and they don't like that. They're going to hang on to it with both hands.
00:22:04.740
And, uh, you can, that's what the, I think there are going to be a lot of people who are wearing that
00:22:11.860
mask and hanging onto restrictions and stomping their feet as a symbol of their own virtue that they
00:22:18.820
don't normally have in other times. They're not the kind of people who shovel anybody's walks for
00:22:24.020
funsies. You know what I mean? Well, I think you're right, uh, Sheila, but here's the thing,
00:22:28.260
when it comes to the COVID Karen community, um, we're not forcing you to go and sit unmasked in a
00:22:35.780
restaurant or an arena or a movie theater. If you want to stay at home and get Uber Eats to bring your
00:22:41.780
food in, uh, you know, morning, noon, and night and leave it on the porch and never have any kind
00:22:47.380
of physical human contact, you can do that in the technical, technical, in the technical world that
00:22:53.620
we live in these days. And I, so in other words, if you want to remain, uh, isolated, that's your
00:23:00.820
choice to do so. We're not forcing people, uh, to get back to normal if they kind of dig that. What's
00:23:05.940
your take on that Kelly? That's where I'm at as well. Uh, I think Sheila had it bang on. Um,
00:23:12.660
there's definitely a virtuous element of look at how much I care about everybody else. And I have
00:23:18.980
to say it perfectly echoes the voice of Justin Trudeau last night when he was just basically
00:23:24.260
telling people 10 different ways of how to care for each other, but not really telling anybody how
00:23:28.980
to care for each other. It's just such fluffy language and people are stuck into the fluff of all
00:23:33.540
this. And unfortunately wearing a mask is an easy way to just, if you, like you said, Sheila,
00:23:37.060
if you don't want to do any hard labor, um, or charitable action or sacrifice of the self
00:23:42.340
for the world, uh, or your community or others, this is a great way to just throw something on and
00:23:46.900
you can take a picture of yourself and you can hashtag it and tell everybody how wonderful you are.
00:23:51.300
And I do think there's going to be people that have found way too much power with this,
00:23:54.740
as well as the bully hall monitor types that will not want to let go because they've been given
00:23:59.140
this sort of social license now to act the way that they've always wanted to, but have had to
00:24:04.100
sort of keep it at bay to sort of fit into society. So I think that it's going to be an interesting
00:24:08.740
shift in the coming days, um, weeks and months, and maybe years. This is so far reaching when it
00:24:13.860
comes to masks. We're dealing with kids and we're dealing with speech stuff. We're dealing with
00:24:17.620
relational stuff. We're dealing with economic stuff. The fallout of this medically, financially,
00:24:22.020
socially is unprecedented. And it's going to be really amazing to watch what the next few months have to
00:24:28.340
bring, I guess, but it's, um, this is a great place to start. And I'm happy to see that Saskatchewan is
00:24:33.140
returning to some fashion of common sense, which I thought we were. And then we weren't for quite
00:24:37.140
a while. And he was diving into all the rest of the rhetoric. And now it feels a little more like
00:24:41.060
you said, David, I get this sense of, ah, right. That's why I used to be so proud to be Canadian.
00:24:46.340
When I watched stuff in Ottawa, or when I watched people here doing their, their protests,
00:24:50.500
it's, um, it brought back a little something that had kind of died in me, to be honest. So this is,
00:24:54.820
this is a good start. It's a good start. And you know, Kelly, it was very rich indeed to see,
00:24:59.780
uh, the prime minister talk about how we should be caring for each other while in the same sentence,
00:25:05.060
vilifying and demonizing, uh, the truckers and their supporters, uh, of the freedom convoy.
00:25:10.980
And like I said, I spent four days in Ottawa and you know what, uh, didn't see any toppled statues,
00:25:16.260
didn't see any broken windows, wasn't ducking from Molotov cocktails, uh, being tossed, didn't see any
00:25:23.460
hate. Uh, these people, even when encountered with counter-protesters were so friendly, so nice,
00:25:30.740
salt of the earth, real Canadians, um, having a peaceful protest. If you believed what the
00:25:37.060
government was saying and the mainstream media, uh, my goodness, you would think this was really
00:25:42.980
a hate fest going on in Ottawa. The precise opposite is true. And I see the Ottawa police are now
00:25:49.380
amping up their demonization of the protesters too. Um, it's really, like I said, really rich to see
00:25:56.980
the prime minister, uh, talk about all you need is love when he's the biggest vilifier in Ottawa right
00:26:04.900
now. Yeah. You know, uh, I, I think we're going to jettison from YouTube just to be on the safe side.
00:26:11.220
So if you are watching us, uh, on YouTube, might I suggest you move over to getter,
00:26:15.860
rumble odyssey and super you and rumble odyssey and super you. Why don't you send us a chat, um,
00:26:21.780
uh, support the work that we do. And we will read that on air. Mr. Producer will send it to me in a
00:26:26.660
message and we will read it on air and do our best to address your query question, concern, comment,
00:26:31.700
or story idea. Yeah. You know, speaking of Justin Trudeau, he talks a lot about caring. And as you know,
00:26:38.180
the best way to care about your neighbor is to use the full force of the police state to encourage them
00:26:44.420
to freeze to death by confiscating their fuel and arresting people, bringing you food and water.
00:26:50.260
That's the best way to care about your neighbor. It's like every time that he claims to be an
00:26:55.780
anti-racist activist, another picture of him shows up wearing blackface, or he claims to be a feminist
00:27:01.860
and he fires another prickly woman for standing up to him. These liberals, they talk a good game,
00:27:08.580
but all you have to do is look at their actions about, uh, 90 minutes later and they're doing
00:27:15.620
something completely different. Justin Trudeau literally campaigned on division and hate. Um,
00:27:25.140
Scott Moe, he's making a lot of comments about unity right now. And I think he's having a little bit
00:27:31.140
of a mea culpa because he said, we've got to find a way to forgive our friends, our families,
00:27:38.580
and even ourselves. And I think he's talking about himself there. Um, and, and speaking about
00:27:48.260
politicians who are having a bit of a come to Jesus moment, uh, Adam and I were talking yesterday
00:27:53.860
about, um, how there's literally nobody in the liberal caucus whatsoever who's breaking ranks
00:28:01.460
with Justin Trudeau and saying, we don't necessarily have to agree with the protesters,
00:28:07.380
but since they, you know, drove all the way across the country and they don't seem to be leaving,
00:28:12.740
maybe we should figure out what they want. Maybe we should go out and talk to them. There's one
00:28:19.140
liberal MP who's saying these people have concerns and they deserve to be heard. Uh,
00:28:27.220
we wrote it up for the website. I don't know if it's been published yet, but maybe Mr. Producer,
00:28:31.540
if you can find the, uh, yes. So we've got some clips here. This is MP. He's a Quebec liberal MP,
00:28:40.340
uh, Joel Lightbound, I think is his name. And, uh, he's saying, you know, we, we,
00:28:48.260
there are cracks in our communities. Uh, the way we've dealt with the pandemic has,
00:28:53.380
and he acknowledges it caused mental health issues due to job loss, family division,
00:28:59.060
and people out there deserve to be heard. So why don't we roll this clip?
00:29:04.980
I've heard from people worried to see those they care about fighting each other on this issue,
00:29:11.380
tearing some families and some friends apart. I've heard from a lot of people wondering why just a
00:29:17.940
year ago, we were all united, all in this together. And now that we have one of the most vaccinated
00:29:25.060
population in the world, we've never been so divided. Now, these people are increasingly confused
00:29:32.500
when on the other hand, they hear experts like Dr. Carl Weiss, a renowned Quebec epidemiologist,
00:29:38.660
state last week, and I quote, that COVID-19 is here to stay, that those at risk will have to be
00:29:44.660
monitored closely when symptoms appear, that we will have to protect our healthcare systems,
00:29:50.580
but that we will also have to live with the virus like we do with influenza, that we can't go back
00:29:55.780
to lockdowns and restrictions not supported by science. They're confused when they hear Dr. Tam
00:30:02.180
state last week that all existing public health policies, including vaccine passports, need to be
00:30:08.740
re-examined, and that we need to have longer term sustained approaches and capacity building,
00:30:14.900
so we're not in crisis mode all the time as we fight this virus.
00:30:18.180
Wow, that's my kind of liberal. You know, ladies, what are the-
00:30:30.420
What are the conversations happening right now with this Quebec-based Liberal MP, with Justin Trudeau,
00:30:40.100
and the rest of caucus? I imagine this is, to say the least, a career-limiting move for him.
00:30:51.300
I don't know who's going, but I would say so. I would say so. I don't envy him, but I applaud him.
00:30:57.060
Like you said, that's actually a kind of a classical liberal sort of response. Imagine that. Imagine
00:31:02.580
that. Imagine if there was that much sanity in the overall Liberal Party, just what a different world
00:31:06.900
this would be, or a different candidate it would be. But yeah, I can't imagine this is going to be
00:31:12.020
something that's going to just projectile him into the next level of fame within the Liberal Party.
00:31:17.620
I think we could see him on his own soon enough. We see enough with the Conservative Party. I can't
00:31:22.580
see how the Liberal Party is not going to do this as well. So good for him, though. I applaud anybody,
00:31:27.700
even if it's a little late, and they're a little late coming to the party. I think we've all said this.
00:31:31.700
Welcome. We'll give you a hug anyway. We wish you were here sooner. But it's nice to see,
00:31:36.020
and it's really nice to see, because this is not a partisan issue. And I've said it.
00:31:39.940
Ezra's pointed that out. This basically could be a political party. They have more
00:31:43.460
actual support, really, from the Canadian public than any one party. So this is not a partisan thing.
00:31:48.740
This is about human beings. This is about people that want some bodily autonomy. And I have met all
00:31:53.300
kinds of hippies who love natural health stuff. I've met people that are very conservative. I've met
00:31:58.260
NDPers, Greens, all kinds of people that think this is nonsense. This is not a partisan thing,
00:32:02.580
and there's no need for our politicians to make it as such. And I appreciate and applaud
00:32:06.740
this gentleman. So yeah, I think he's going to get kicked out of the party before the day's over.
00:32:12.420
If I were Candace Bergen, I would be reaching out to him and saying, you know what, there's no room
00:32:16.900
for you in the Liberal Party. Why don't you cross the floor? The Conservatives could use some good,
00:32:23.940
reasonable, freedom-minded people. And who knows even if he's freedom-minded, but he seems to think
00:32:31.620
that his party has handled this grossly. So maybe if I were Candace Bergen, I would be reaching out to
00:32:38.900
this guy, because I don't think he's going to survive the day. I think he's going to be out on
00:32:43.620
his ear with the truckers outside, being ignored by the Liberal Party, just like they are for the day's
00:32:49.700
over. And just to put it into context, this guy is not a nobody. He was first elected in 2015.
00:32:58.340
And he's served, I think, in at least two different parliamentary secretary roles during that time.
00:33:05.940
And currently, he's the chair of the House of Commons Industry and Technology Committee. So he does
00:33:10.740
see how this lockdown has hurt the Canadian economy. So maybe that's what drove him.
00:33:19.460
Maybe it's his moral conscience. But what I do know is that it was obviously immensely hard for
00:33:25.620
him to break ranks with the party today, because everybody around Justin Trudeau is keeping their
00:33:30.100
mouth shut and supporting him while he ignores this huge chunk of Canadians. Because Justin Trudeau
00:33:35.860
seems to think that he's the prime minister of only the people who voted for him instead of all
00:33:40.340
Canadians. You know, and Sheila, you raise a really good point. Do you think this individual
00:33:45.060
has already had discussions with the Conservative Party? Could be.
00:33:49.220
I mean, the last time there was a floor crossing, I think it was, what, 2018? It was Leona Alislav,
00:33:56.740
my MP. Well, at least until September of last year. And, you know, these things,
00:34:03.860
you know, I don't think when you make that statement or make any kind of condemning speech,
00:34:09.220
you haven't already, you know, packed a parachute, so to speak, that, you know, so maybe this is,
00:34:16.260
you know, a fait accompli, as they say, or he's going to sit as an independent, who knows. But it is so
00:34:24.420
refreshing to see someone in government speak in a non-thought-controlled manner by, as ordered by
00:34:34.820
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. So, yeah, you're right. Let's see how the day goes in terms of him
00:34:41.060
being disciplined or even ousted. And I guess, you know, we, speaking about getting disciplined,
00:34:47.380
we must turn our attention to our friend, Pastor Arthur Pawlowski. You've got to be kidding. He's
00:34:55.380
being arrested already? Again? Yeah. Well, we were having the morning staff meeting. A few of us got
00:35:05.940
a message saying that Pastor Art had been arrested. Sounds like he was arrested, someone will correct
00:35:11.860
me if I'm wrong, on mischief over $5,000. I think that's what it was. We don't know what that was,
00:35:18.580
but Ezra did get a phone call from Nathaniel, Art's son, and we do have Ezra's video on that,
00:35:28.100
so why don't we roll to that, please? Maybe we're not ready. Okay, just one second. So anyways,
00:35:39.700
if people want to see all the details, Ezra's tweets and his video, they can go to savearcher.com
00:35:45.940
for all your Art Pawlowski needs and news, and you can support his legal defense there,
00:35:51.540
because Sarah Miller has pretty well made Art Pawlowski her full-time job. Sarah Miller from
00:35:57.300
JSS Barristers. Between the crackdown on Pastor Art for the crime of feeding the homeless, which the
00:36:04.100
city of Calgary called an illegal public gathering, to Alberta Health Services, trying to bust into his
00:36:10.900
church during services to do an inspection, to get in court injunctions prohibiting him from speaking,
00:36:18.100
to him being found in contempt and then issued compelled speech orders that required him to give
00:36:23.700
the government's line, the Pfizer salesman line on vaccines and restrictions. By the way,
00:36:32.420
sounds like Scott Moe would be in violation of that court order if that court order had applied to him,
00:36:38.340
because the science has somehow changed from when Pastor Art was slapped with a compelled speech order
00:36:44.020
to today when restrictions are being lifted. And that's the problem with all of this stuff is
00:36:48.340
what could get you canceled six months ago is government policy today. And that's been
00:36:54.980
the story of Pastor Art. He is continually arrested in these high-profile El Chapo-style takedowns,
00:37:03.220
be it at the airport or on city streets or on the highway leaving a protest as he was last week when he
00:37:10.180
was leaving a anti-lockdown protest in Leduc, Alberta. And today, the police converged on his
00:37:18.100
house to prevent him from going to Coutts, Alberta, to speak to the blockade protesters there. So maybe now
00:37:25.860
we have that video. Okay. Ezra Levant here from Rebel News. I just got a phone call from Nathaniel
00:37:31.220
Pavlovsky. That's the son of Pastor Arthur Pavlovsky. He told me that his dad was just arrested at home in
00:37:39.060
Calgary. He said there was an undercover police van staked out, surveilling the family home,
00:37:46.260
and that they grabbed his dad, Arthur Pavlovsky, arrested him and took him off to jail. There were
00:37:52.340
some other police cars there apparently too, stopping him from going to speak to the trucker blockade
00:38:00.820
down in Coutts, Alberta. The Calgary police literally arresting a Christian pastor who was planning
00:38:08.260
on speaking to a peaceful protest. This is not the Canada that you thought you were in. This is an
00:38:14.420
authoritarian Canada that's verging on a police state. I spoke with Sarah Miller, the lawyer for
00:38:20.980
Arthur Pavlovsky. She has dispatched her criminal law colleague, Chad Haggerty, to see how quickly we can
00:38:27.780
get him out of jail. If you want to help crowdfund those excellent lawyers, I know them both, they're
00:38:32.260
outstanding. Go to savearthur.com. That's save-a-r-t-u-r.com. Hopefully we can get him out of jail right away.
00:38:39.780
This was clearly an attempt to stop him from expressing himself politically to these truckers.
00:38:46.500
Go to savearthur.com. You know ladies, this is astonishing and what this reminds me of is the 2002
00:38:55.700
Tom Cruise film Minority Report. It depicted a future society in which the police had something
00:39:03.460
called the pre-crime unit. With the help of psychics, they would get a pretty good idea,
00:39:10.660
but not 100% accurate, of a citizen that might be, could be, wants to commit a crime and they would
00:39:20.580
arrest him before the crime is committed. Therefore, the name of the unit, pre-crimes unit. That's this!
00:39:28.020
They've got cops going to the pastor, arresting him for the pre-crime of his intention to go down to
00:39:38.020
Cootes, Alberta. This is fictional, or I should say science fiction becoming today's reality 20 years
00:39:46.660
later here in Canada. I am astounded. Go ahead, Kelly.
00:39:54.100
This is one that I just, I mean, we continually hear his name coming up and some people like to
00:39:58.340
think of him as a nuisance, or well, he's asking for it and they don't like his provocateur nature,
00:40:02.980
and people have all their reasons for hating on Pastor Archer, and none of them matter.
00:40:07.060
His personality and whether you think that you could go out for coffee and enjoy time with this man are
00:40:11.060
irrelevant. There's also a lot of Christians who like to argue that he's going against God,
00:40:15.060
and if you really cared for your fellow man, and if you really love Jesus, you would get vaccinated,
00:40:19.140
and you would say the script, and you would do what all the politicians are doing. And it's quite
00:40:22.900
alarming to see the mentality, because what I see is a man who's just trying to warn this country on
00:40:28.340
every front, whether it's standing and trying to feed the homeless, or whether it's, I mean,
00:40:31.860
how many times now have we seen him? It's like they're just waiting for him to mess up,
00:40:36.260
and when they don't have anything legit, they'll get him anyway. And I have seen many cases of really
00:40:41.380
despicable things happening, and people doing horrible things, sex crimes, etc, that do not
00:40:46.100
get politicized this much, that do not get this much hate. For a man of God who really is feeding
00:40:51.700
the people of Calgary and taking care of those who nobody cares about, like the people you were
00:40:56.180
talking about, Sheila, that just want to wear a mask and say they're saving the world, but would
00:40:59.620
never do anything. They're not out there doing what Archer's doing. They're not feeding the homeless.
00:41:03.220
They're not feeding those addicted to meth. They're not feeding those without anybody and any support
00:41:08.340
system. This is not an easy thing to do, and he should have been left alone from the get-go,
00:41:13.140
but instead we've had multiple charges and incidents, and he gets shamed and embarrassed,
00:41:18.020
and it's really quite despicable legally, but also socially, and the media complex, as always,
00:41:23.780
has disappointed and been pretty gross on this. So I'm always curious to see where this will go.
00:41:29.140
He's an extremely resilient man, I'll say that, and his spirit never dies, and he's so desperate to
00:41:34.580
get Canadians to see the truth, and people really need to start listening to people that come from
00:41:39.460
other places that are maybe a little less free than here. We're becoming everything that these
00:41:44.420
people fled, and he's been trying to tell us that for how long now?
00:41:49.460
Yeah, Sheila, what are your thoughts? I mean, I don't think there's any there there. I mean,
00:41:55.460
the idea of the police pre-arresting him for something he might do or said he did,
00:42:01.300
or said he was going to do, but hasn't actually done. How does that make any sense? I mean,
00:42:07.300
that can't be a, you know, something worthy of a prosecution in my mind.
00:42:15.220
You know, the police use these loose mischief laws, or rather I should say abuse these loose
00:42:22.580
mischief laws and the loose definition of mischief all the time. It sounds like they're doing this in
00:42:28.420
Ottawa, where they are arresting the people who are bringing gasoline, a diesel, sorry,
00:42:34.820
their big rig, so the diesel, to the truckers under this accessory to mischief charge because
00:42:44.100
they think the truckers are committing mischief by honking their horns. So by extension, like,
00:42:49.460
it's just, if you see somebody charged with mischief, realize that it's a catch-all. And it sounds like
00:42:54.900
the police are really pushing their luck here. We don't have all the details yet, but you know,
00:42:59.700
it's funny because you'll see, you'll see people justify the state targeting Pastor Art over and over
00:43:08.100
again, because they disagree with something he said, or they disagree with his theology,
00:43:14.260
or they disagree with the way he practices his faith, as though that's any justification to send
00:43:20.420
the police to your house and arrest you like this for a pre-crime. Pastor Art and I have probably
00:43:28.020
theological disagreements, but I will fight for his right to hold those beliefs and express them
00:43:35.700
in a way that he sees fit without being hauled off to jail like this. This is ridiculous. So, you know,
00:43:43.380
it's funny how people will say, I believe in free speech, but then Pastor Art said this, this,
00:43:49.060
and this, and this. And so I don't care if you got arrested. Well, then you don't believe in free
00:43:54.100
speech at all because you don't believe in it for your enemies. It's just like, for example,
00:43:58.340
a lot of people don't know this, but we actually, um, allow, we at Rebel News, we gave a lot of our, um,
00:44:06.820
arguments to a small left wing union linked publication to help them get access to the
00:44:15.540
Alberta legislature, because we had made those legal arguments and we heard that they had been
00:44:21.860
blocked by the Alberta government. And we thought, no, if we believe in free speech and free press for
00:44:27.700
us, then we have to believe it for our political enemies too. And probably our social enemies, you
00:44:33.700
know, like I, I, I think that those people would cross the street to avoid me. Um, but we gave them
00:44:39.460
our legal research. Now, did we get a thank you? No, actually they went on social media and said some
00:44:45.220
unkind things about us, but that's not the point because we're better than them and we know it.
00:44:49.220
And that's, that's what it means when you believe in something, you just don't believe in it for
00:44:54.660
yourself. If it's a, if it's a moral and ethical viewpoint that you hold, it can't be situational.
00:45:01.540
It has to be for everybody. Sheila, you raise a really good point in terms of the political,
00:45:06.020
uh, question here. I'm just wondering who do you think is really behind this? What I would say is
00:45:12.580
vindictive and petty harassment of pastor art. It, I don't buy that it's the Calgary police service
00:45:20.660
acting organically and independently. So who is behind this, uh, jihad against pastor art, Sheila?
00:45:29.700
He's embarrassing the Alberta government all over the world. So if he goes to this place where the
00:45:38.020
world is watching the truckers and the farmers fight for freedom, he is going to continue to
00:45:43.620
embarrass them on an international scale because all eyes are on pastor art. Um, and so obviously this is
00:45:52.180
Alberta health services one more time, um, under the new health minister, Jason Copping. And of course,
00:45:58.660
a healthy helping of, uh, Calgary tyranny. Um, I think this new mayor is even worse than the old
00:46:07.300
mayor. Jodi Gondik is obviously, she's even more progressive than Nahid Nenshi. And Nahid Nenshi,
00:46:14.580
his dislike for pastor art was more than political. It was personal. And I think that is carried on now
00:46:21.860
going forward. And I think it's only going to get worse for art, not better.
00:46:24.980
And you know what, what is perversely amusing is the more they harass him, the more they arrest him,
00:46:31.620
the more they cart him off to jail, the more international news emerges about their, um,
00:46:38.100
strides and affect people. Yep. It's it. They never learned Sheila. They never learned now with about
00:46:44.420
15 minutes left. Uh, Sheila, I I'm assuming we have some chats to get to.
00:46:49.060
We definitely have a pile of chats to get to. And, uh, we, there's a bunch of stuff we didn't talk
00:46:55.540
about. Um, but, um, I'm sure we'll get to it. Um, if we have time. Okay. Let's go back. Sorry.
00:47:03.140
Oh yeah. There are quite a few here today. Um, okay, here we go. We've got one from Harper will
00:47:14.180
always be my PM because it's five bucks. I was 100% expecting when truckers hit Toronto,
00:47:20.980
that Doug would also claim he was, is this from today? No, that's yesterday. Sorry.
00:47:28.420
That's no, this is yesterday. Sorry. I'm just sorting through. Thank you very much.
00:47:35.540
There we are. No, no, I don't see it. David ad lib something, please. Will I try to sort out
00:47:44.340
what's going on my computer? Um, Kelly Lamb, what are you, what are I, I forgot, uh, I apologize to
00:47:50.420
get it over to you. Your thoughts on what is going on right now with, uh, pastor art.
00:47:56.820
Well, I think I said probably most of it at the beginning, so I'm probably not the best person to
00:47:59.860
say, but I've always got more to say when it comes to the stuff that's going on in this country
00:48:04.100
and the direction that we're heading. I know that a lot of it was AHS and Kenny, but I do put
00:48:08.980
Trudeau at the helm of this. I know that people like to say, oh, you just always want to blame
00:48:12.660
Trudeau, but he has really started the rhetoric and given social license to these politicians across
00:48:18.660
the board and to the various health services to just, like I said, it's whether it's citizens or
00:48:23.300
whether it's, you know, people in authority, the bullies are getting away with whatever they want.
00:48:27.940
They have this thing. It's like, they're excited. They finally, we get, we get a chance to do what we
00:48:31.860
want. And that's what I see with pastor Archer. So I see it from the cops. I see it from the AHS
00:48:36.260
and I see it from just the overall sort of tide, the way the tide is turning in Canada. And I also
00:48:40.820
can't help but comment on something that seems like a million years ago because so much has happened
00:48:45.860
with all of the COVID stuff, but all of the churches that burnt across the country and how so many
00:48:50.580
investigations were just closed and how nobody seems to care. There's just this, this continuous
00:48:56.020
theme now where we're starting to see Christian persecution creeping up in the West. And it's really quite
00:49:01.220
alarming. And I don't think this would happen. I genuinely don't think this would happen with most
00:49:05.460
other faiths and I'm not trying to play the victim, but there's a current trend. It's undeniable against
00:49:11.860
the Christian faith and people that are believing in Christian values, whether it comes to gender
00:49:16.260
bills or anything else, we are demonized. And I think that's a huge part of the undercurrent that
00:49:20.180
needs to be brought up with pastor art as well. And you know, Kelly, the B word bully, I think you're
00:49:24.980
really onto something here. And what makes these types of bullies worse than bully classic is the
00:49:31.300
fact that when you're a bully in the bureaucracy, you are untouchable. You cannot be fired. You cannot
00:49:38.340
be disciplined. In fact, they probably got a raise during the pandemic because that seems to be business
00:49:45.380
as usual in other jurisdictions. They just fail upwards and it's reprehensible. And I'm not sure what the
00:49:52.660
solution is to that issue. Sheila, are we back with the the chats now?
00:49:58.820
Yeah, I figured out where I was and what I was doing there. I just was looking in the wrong chat.
00:50:05.860
I was looking in the one from yesterday with Adam and I. So we've got Annalisa, 1964, who,
00:50:12.180
as I always say, has David Menzies in the bloodstream like an AstraZeneca clot.
00:50:17.380
Uh, she gives us 20 bucks and she says, my two favorite people, this must be before Kelly got
00:50:24.020
on the stream. Um, she says, I just wanted to thank you and all the rebel team for exceptional
00:50:29.540
reporting. Oh, and I must not forget looking mighty fine today, David. Uh, and Sheila, you're gorgeous
00:50:35.940
as always. I love how I'm just always the afterthought, but I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. I see what
00:50:41.620
you see, Annalisa. I really do. Yeah. But you know what? Sheila, always the devil's in the details.
00:50:46.100
When she said, my two favorite people, I think she meant Kelly and you, my friend.
00:50:51.700
Well, well, thank you for including me. That was very kind. Such a nice guy, David. He's such a nice
00:50:56.820
guy. I can see what Annalisa sees as well. Yeah. Thank you, Annalisa.
00:51:00.980
Fraser McBurney, five bucks. Loving his cap locks as always. He says over 50,000 Americans have died from
00:51:07.300
COVID jabs. That means over 5,000 Canadians have died from the COVID jabs and the vaccine mandates.
00:51:12.980
Now, uh, I rude Dick gives us five bucks. Beware of the Saskatchewan premier. He may be doing away
00:51:22.820
with the Vax Pass, but they are still implementing their EID program. Just another way to deny you
00:51:30.100
driver's license, photo ID cards, and passports. Um, I have filed for access to information on the
00:51:36.660
Saskatchewan electronic ID, um, because I just want to see what it entails. There's a lot of people
00:51:42.180
jumping to conclusions. And I am one of those people who genuinely thinks that, um, when government
00:51:48.900
does something, they mostly almost always have sinister motives, but I just want to see what that
00:51:54.100
entails. Is it just like where they are merging, um, some of your government ID with your health card
00:52:00.820
and your, uh, Saskatchewan insurance, because you guys have like Saskatchewan SGI, right?
00:52:08.820
So is that what they're doing? Yeah. So is that what they're doing to just make it like all in one
00:52:13.260
place or is this something else? So before we jump to conclusions, let's just wait and see
00:52:18.020
actually what they say they're going to do. And then I'll file for what they were talking about doing,
00:52:22.640
because those are often two different things also. So, um, let's just, uh, wait and see.
00:52:28.600
Uh, John Entwistle gives us, uh, 10 bucks. Will Trudeau pull out the family's martial law card
00:52:35.300
again? Well, they did in, what was it? 1970, uh, the War Measures Act. And, uh, there's that famous,
00:52:43.640
uh, uh, quote by Trudeau when asked by a journalist, how far, uh, do you plan to go? And I think his
00:52:49.660
answer was just watch me. So, um, yeah, uh, maybe it's a matter of ladies of, uh, like father, like son.
00:52:56.820
Oh, I thought they meant the Castro martial law card. I didn't know what family we were talking
00:53:02.340
about there. Oh, very confusing. Understandable. Mixed. Um, joyful from the heart, a dollar. Is
00:53:12.240
it possible Rebel News could ask Polyev why he supported Trudeau's false condemnation of
00:53:17.160
anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black, et cetera, in the protest? I like him, but this is troubling.
00:53:23.420
I didn't know that he supported that, but I do know that the conservatives, um, after that motion
00:53:29.940
asked the liberals to condemn the use of blackface. Um, I think Arnold Beerson did that, uh, top tier
00:53:38.140
trolling Arnold, by the way, and the liberals did not because how could they, right? Isn't that amazing?
00:53:44.560
And by the way, our, uh, is Pierre on speaking terms with us? I think he could be. Okay. We
00:53:52.340
should reach out. Why don't you reach out, David? Okay. Yeah. But you know what? We don't need his
00:53:58.360
approval or even real contact with him to do our job. We'll hold him to account whether he likes it
00:54:02.940
or not. And you know what, Polyev? I think people will convoy you just as fast as they convoyed
00:54:09.120
Justin Trudeau. So just, you know, Canadians are a different breed these days. Um, Cuba bound
00:54:16.620
gives us a buck. Is this another two weeks scam? Why not drop all mandates and emergency orders now?
00:54:23.080
Yeah. I'm interested to see what just Jason Kenny does today because he's like, if hospitals remain
00:54:29.020
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, ah, you got the, the uncertainty in there. So you can just
00:54:33.600
sort of walk that back instead of cross my heart, hope to die. Swear to God, stack of Bibles. No
00:54:39.660
problem. Best summer ever. Oh, lockdown to fall. Come along. So we'll see. You know, I always scratch
00:54:46.280
my head about this. Like if you are going this direction, just say effective immediately. I mean,
00:54:52.300
is, does the Corona virus have some kind of a day timer where, you know, it will, David,
00:54:58.520
it does because you can't have a beer in Alberta. You can order your beer at 10, but you got to get
00:55:04.600
home. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here by 11 o'clock because the Corona virus
00:55:09.940
is apparently on some kind of timer. It's got a watch and it's got a calendar and that's how it
00:55:15.800
kills you. Apparently. It's so frustrating. Uh, very wise virus. Yeah. Isn't it funny how it'll get you,
00:55:25.340
um, based on the reasons you're protesting? Yeah. For example, BLM, definitely not a super
00:55:31.820
spreader event protesting lockdown straight to jail because it'll get you. You know what,
00:55:38.040
Sheila, that was the turning and Kelly, that was the turning point for me. And I think many people,
00:55:42.420
when we saw those BLM demonstrations, violating all these mandate rules and you had top medical
00:55:50.560
officials and scientists stating on the record that, well, it's for a good reason, uh, and therefore,
00:55:57.720
uh, we'll turn a blind eye, uh, to the lack of social distancing, masking, uh, et cetera.
00:56:03.760
I think that is really the point where they lost the room. Yeah. Yes to BLM. No to Christmas,
00:56:11.820
you know, uh, anonymous gives us a buck. The best platforms for communication are minds. Then
00:56:18.780
Odyssey and element IO, all decentralized and open source email, proton mail, see Templar. People
00:56:26.980
should not use telegram. It's not good. And signal is the same. Delete your Facebook and Twitter and
00:56:31.520
Google and give, uh, because if you do, you give power to big tech. Okay. Um, I'm just reading
00:56:37.960
these, do what you want, be on whatever social media you want or not, uh, drop. Oh cents gives us
00:56:45.240
20 bucks. It looked to me like a time machine back to 1967. I think David is the only one of us who is
00:56:52.020
alive to remember that the 100th anniversary of Confederation. It has been that long since there's
00:56:58.880
been as much unity as brought by the truckers. Uh, was that 67 or 57? I couldn't read the
00:57:07.840
six. I definitely was not around in 1957. Let me tell you that much. I want to correct the record.
00:57:16.480
I wasn't even around for the first time they whipped out the war measures act. So
00:57:20.600
Billy Howard gives us two bucks until Polyev does a real interview with Ezra as Leslyn Lewis has done
00:57:30.460
repeatedly in my mind. He's just another censorious Laurentian elitist who I cannot support. Has
00:57:36.300
Ezra reached out to him? I don't know, but we should, um, and we should find out if he's going
00:57:41.620
to be, um, a fraidy cat or a true blue conservative. He should be, if he is willing to, uh, smack talk
00:57:49.480
CBC right to their faces, which he is, then he should be brave enough to come on with us and
00:57:54.200
answer some tough questions. And it's a great opportunity because look at this bill says he
00:57:59.720
would consider supporting Pierre. If he would answer Ezra's questions, I'm sure there are a lot of
00:58:04.760
people like bill out there. I think it's a great opportunity if you want to get elected.
00:58:07.900
And you know, Sheila and Kelly, I mean, how many times have we been fooled in the last several
00:58:13.900
years, not just with conservative leaders such as Aaron O'Toole and Andrew Scheer, but with
00:58:19.440
provincial leaders aspiring to be premier marketing themselves as a true blue conservative while
00:58:25.780
they're running. And when they get into office, um, whiz bang, suddenly they're a red Tory. I can't,
00:58:33.180
I, for the life of me, I hope Pierre is going to be true to the messages that he's stating out there
00:58:40.020
that he won't do a flip-flop as we saw from, uh, Aaron O'Toole.
00:58:46.160
You know, I think that's why the party maybe shut him down a little bit last time is because he is
00:58:50.620
a little bit too prickly with the media and they didn't want any of that in their last campaign.
00:58:56.020
Um, so they didn't want him running. Uh, that's just me being speculative, but, um,
00:59:02.360
that wouldn't surprise me given the, uh, direction they took with Aaron O'Toole.
00:59:09.800
Uh, Roly Polly Oly gives us a buck. Good morning. Adorable, deplorable rebels. Any word on
00:59:15.420
the pastor art arrest? Well, we just talked about what we do know. We are deploying a journalist,
00:59:20.220
Mocha Bezergin. He is back home from the convoy. He went to Coots for a day and he's back in Calgary.
00:59:26.200
So he's, uh, going to catch up with pastor art, if not his family and the lawyer, Sarah Miller,
00:59:32.380
to bring you, um, the other side of the story, which in this case is the only side of the story.
00:59:38.980
Fraser McBurney, five bucks, scratch a liberal, and you will find a fascist.
00:59:43.220
A Chris Dunn sends us five bucks and I don't see a chat, which is great.
00:59:48.340
Angel for freedom gives us 10 bucks. Excuse me. I'm going to sniff and I don't think anybody wants
00:59:54.320
to hear that. It's important for anyone that can head to Ottawa to do so concerned that something
01:00:00.460
is about to go down. Police less apt to impose violence, a lot calling for governor general to
01:00:06.400
remove JT from office. She's not going to get involved. The only way Justin Trudeau is going to
01:00:12.560
face any sort of challenge to his leadership is from within his own party. The governor general
01:00:18.200
is not going to remove the prime minister. She's just not. She's just not. It's just wishful
01:00:22.260
thinking. It's homemade law again. Uh, Fraser McBurney, five bucks. The 2010 demonstrators were
01:00:29.420
awarded 19.2 million for their actions by Bill Blair. Oh, the G20 or is it the G? Yeah, it was a G20,
01:00:39.080
right? In 2010. When they, yeah. Okay. Uh, for the actions by Bill Blair, how much will it cost us
01:00:45.240
now? You know, who knows? We also gave a $10.5 million to Omar Cotter for, uh, not getting enough
01:00:53.300
sleep and Gitmo. So, but you know what? I remember that G20 meeting in Toronto very well, Sheila, even
01:00:58.860
though it was 12 years ago. And that was one of Bill Blair's most awful moments. I couldn't believe he
01:01:05.580
was still the police chief after it. On day one, on the Saturday, he told all his units, and I spoke
01:01:11.700
to individual Toronto police, stand down, stand down, stand down. And they were overturning police
01:01:17.640
cars and setting them on fire. And there was such a PR black eye to that, that the next day they were,
01:01:25.160
uh, kettling, corralling people, innocent citizens. I remember there was one guy, he was just walking to
01:01:31.700
the pub. He didn't even know about the G20. He was just going to watch a world cup game, a soccer
01:01:37.000
game. And suddenly he finds himself in a mass arrest situation. So he turned a blind eye to the thugs,
01:01:44.980
the Antifa types, the black block types. And then they turned their, uh, ire on law abiding citizens
01:01:52.660
the next day. You call that policing? No, I call that Bill Blair. He, that's just what Bill Blair does.
01:01:59.920
Look what he's doing. Now that he is the guy in charge of the gun grab, he's doing the same thing.
01:02:05.520
Gangsters, gangbangers, drug traffickers, um, gun traffickers, porous border, allowing it to happen.
01:02:12.540
And he's like, you know who the bad guy is that person out there, plinking cans in the backyard in
01:02:19.960
Alberta. That's who he's going after. You know, like that's Bill Blair always going after the wrong guy
01:02:26.300
because you can't deal with the real problem. Uh, let's see. Um, a lone wolf logic gives us 10
01:02:36.440
bucks as Canada needs you rebel. Keep up the great work. I think we all will. Thank you. I hope so.
01:02:41.620
Uh, bill CF seven gives us a box as Doug Ford announced yesterday, the elimination of vehicle
01:02:47.520
license stickers, which is buying boats. I think you're just getting rid of the stickers,
01:02:52.360
not the renewal charge. Does the inconvenience of putting a sticker out there all the time.
01:02:57.320
It actually has been convenient in Saskatchewan. I can't say it's a policy that I've necessarily had
01:03:02.480
any real emotions on, but if I recall when we did it, I'm trying to remember when that was a while
01:03:06.180
ago now. It's, it's generally just easier, but I, maybe there's political reasons. I can't say.
01:03:10.960
Well, obviously. I don't deal with the license stuff because I don't want to have to go in there
01:03:15.300
and pay all the parking tickets when I go downtown and get a parking ticket. So, um, I just, that's
01:03:21.700
my husband's job. So apparently he hasn't complained about it. So things should be going fine enough
01:03:25.840
since we moved, did the same thing here in Alberta. He can pay my, uh, photo radar. It's fine.
01:03:31.440
And ladies, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Doug Ford's company deco labels does
01:03:36.680
not make those stickers. I don't think he'd give them self, a self-inflicted wound.
01:03:42.040
David, with no, with no new sticker on your little electric car, you can probably go a little
01:03:48.640
faster for a little longer because it's not what you get down. Your weak little car.
01:03:54.020
See, this is the real reason folks why Sheila Gunn-Reed hated Minority Report because in that
01:03:59.880
future world, all the cars are electric, uh, Lexuses, I believe. And, uh, that, uh, that lack of
01:04:09.560
Do you know what? You may be outnumbered on this because I'm with her on this one.
01:04:13.700
Let's just stop and appreciate what oversized vehicles are doing for freedom right now. And
01:04:21.760
the next time some liberal from Vancouver or Toronto or Montreal says, Oh, look at all you
01:04:28.680
Albertans and your oversized vehicles. What do you need those for? For freedom, mine and yours.
01:04:34.200
That's why you're welcome. Oh, Sheila, it's even, it's even beyond freedom. As our good friend,
01:04:39.980
Tucker Carlson has stated, if you are alive, thank a trucker. That's how the food got to the
01:04:46.580
supermarket. That's how the medicine got to the pharmacy and so much more. So even if you, uh,
01:04:54.940
you know, don't believe in, in, in having a vehicle or a carbon basis, I, whatever it is,
01:05:01.840
your, your, your, your beliefs that way, if you want food and medicine, it got there to the store
01:05:07.100
by a trucker. You shouldn't vilify them. You should thank them. Yep. Uh, Steven Rodriguez gives
01:05:14.360
us five bucks. I wish rebel news would use some of these donations to expand their presence.
01:05:19.380
How many continents do we need to be on? Maybe some TV commercials or web ads to raise exposure.
01:05:25.880
I tell everyone I know about rebel news and they are thankful. Well, here's the thing. Uh, we are
01:05:31.500
demonetized on YouTube, so we can't buy ads on YouTube to spread the news. Facebook sometimes
01:05:37.160
declines our ads. Um, it makes it, we have to sometimes self-censor on certain platforms. Um,
01:05:46.980
so it's very difficult, but we are growing organically and, um, we've got some great supporters
01:05:54.020
out there. Um, I don't know, uh, AD, maybe you can find, it was on K2's Twitter feed from last night
01:06:01.740
or this morning. Somebody, we don't know who in Tabor, Alberta, home of lots of acres of corn. Um,
01:06:11.400
that's like the corn capital of Alberta. Um, and I think maybe Nickelback too, now that I'm thinking
01:06:17.480
about it, but they better lay. No, they're from Hannah and I'm sorry that I know that. Why do I know
01:06:21.540
that? Yeah, I think it's just, it's just up the road. It's just up the road and I'm sorry in advance
01:06:25.960
to Tabor for even just loosely associating. Come on, Sheila. That's just mean. Sorry, Tabor. I'll send
01:06:31.300
you a bouquet of flowers. Um, but, uh, somebody just went and bought a billboard like, and not a cheap
01:06:39.100
billboard. This is a digital billboard saying, uh, want the real story of coots? Read the truth.
01:06:45.780
And it says to go to rebel news. Somebody just did that. We don't even know who did that. That's
01:06:51.400
not us. You know what, Sheila, that might be the sign of the future with all the issues affecting
01:06:57.760
Canada right now. The Trudeau liberals, what do they have on the front burner? It's bill C11,
01:07:03.680
the replacement for bill C10 censoring the internet. That might be the way so many people in the near
01:07:10.800
future are going to have to get their message out. Old school billboards. Well, and even the
01:07:16.060
billboard companies don't want to do any controversial business. So, um, I'm surprised
01:07:20.920
this one went up. It might be a private billboard owned by somebody, but there's a reason why we
01:07:25.380
don't use certain billboard companies. And it's because they are prone to, uh, the pressure mob.
01:07:31.140
They crack under the pressure mob. So we have the one that we use on, uh, Alberta's highway to the
01:07:36.980
busiest highway in Alberta. Um, and so far so good. They haven't cracked to the pressure mob.
01:07:42.380
And I know that there was a time in which they got some heat, not just from the pressure mob,
01:07:46.440
but from the, uh, elections commissioner out here in Alberta. Um, but it's very difficult,
01:07:52.820
but, um, that's why it's so important that our supporters share our work because that's,
01:07:58.980
that's sort of how we grow organically because we don't always have access to buying web ads and
01:08:05.820
stuff like that or billboards or whatever. Buy our merch, turn yourself into a billboard.
01:08:12.140
How about that? Go to rebel news store.com. Make yourself the walking billboard for rebel news.
01:08:17.300
And when people are like, Oh, what's rebel news? Then you are a brand ambassador for us. Thank you
01:08:22.500
very much. Um, yeah, great. See, and we've got so much great trucker merch in their fringe minority
01:08:29.160
truck off. Truck off Trudeau. What did you say? Great. Truck off Trudeau. Thank you, trucker.
01:08:36.780
Honk, honk. You can hear me just fine. That hard K, you know.
01:08:41.900
Yeah. Trucker hats to show your support for the truckers. Just go to rebelnewsstore.com
01:08:47.940
and turn yourself into a walking advertisement for rebel news.
01:08:52.820
You know, true story. And I think Kelly might appreciate this. I know this from some, uh,
01:08:57.820
standup comedians. If they're ever in the U S and they're kind of losing the room,
01:09:01.800
just say out loud Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. And people laugh. I think it's that hard K word,
01:09:08.380
you know, letter, right? Well, Saskatchewan, people can't pronounce it. So that's always fun.
01:09:14.140
To be honest, people like Regina more because, you know, I won't say nothing, but that's why
01:09:23.540
people laugh at us. I'm just saying, you want the Saskatchewan reality? That's the word people
01:09:27.660
mock. And then we have to say, yeah, yeah. Pronounce it like the French word. So Saskatoon is a great word
01:09:32.560
and it's even brought up in music. So a lot of music. I love listening to Americans try to say
01:09:39.360
Saskatchewan. It's fantastic. Or even sometimes Ontarioians are like Saskatchewan. No, no, Saskatchewan.
01:09:47.520
Ottawa. Somebody said a towel. Was that Tucker Carlson said a towel instead of Ottawa one day?
01:09:53.240
I hope. Yeah. And then like when you listen to them say Saskatchewan and they say Saskat or they
01:10:01.100
struggle with the first part and then they say Saskatchewan. I'm like, yeah, one, like WI. It's like W I N.
01:10:07.640
Yeah. We can always tell. We know. And I know because my hometown is Fort Saskatchewan. So,
01:10:15.600
you know. That's funny. That's another proviso of the standup comedians I know, Sheila. They
01:10:23.540
will not play any city in Canada that has the word fort before its name because they just know
01:10:40.840
Okay. Becca Henderson gives us a buck. Hope your head is feeling better, David. Glad to see you back.
01:10:46.120
Oh, thank you so much. And it kind of is. I don't know if I'm 100%, but functional.
01:10:51.980
I feel like you're operating on all cylinders, David.
01:11:00.900
Pierre Trudeau. Trudeau was overheard by reporters saying how much easier governing would be if things were run
01:11:06.440
the Cuban way. Nuts don't fall far from the trees. Like father, like son. Are we talking about
01:11:17.200
Father. My room, Agony, gives us a buck. Good to see you again, Menzoid.
01:11:25.840
A buck from Aquasquise3636. Agree, re-Poliev. He voted yes to sex-selective abortion. Thank you, Rebel.
01:11:35.220
Steven Rodriguez, five bucks. If you look closely at Pierre's video, he snuck in a copy of 1984
01:11:41.500
in the bottom right corner. Oh, of his video when he made his announcement that he was running for
01:11:48.220
leader. That would not surprise me. He either has read it or it's a great prop. Either way,
01:11:52.620
he made it noticeable. So yeah, there it is on that bottom right there.
01:12:01.960
Richard, Richard Yeomans gives us 50 bucks. Holy heck. That's very generous.
01:12:07.200
Thank you. I like the comment about spending some money to help mainstream media watchers know there
01:12:12.880
is another alternative telling the other side of the story. Here's the thing. Not a lot of people
01:12:19.100
are still watching mainstream media. I mean, our journalists yesterday alone were all over Fox News.
01:12:26.020
uh, we had journalists, you know, on, uh, Benny Johnson yesterday, Buck Sexton, uh, Tucker Carlson,
01:12:34.700
Sean Hannity. So the largest cable shows in the world, our journalists were on what good would us
01:12:43.200
good. Would it do us to spend money to tell state broadcaster viewers that by the way, we're bigger
01:12:52.100
than the state broadcaster. It just feels like we're punching down a little bit.
01:12:56.360
You know, ladies, isn't it astonishing to you that when it comes to the mainstream media,
01:13:01.540
Canadians have to depend on a U S outlet, namely, as you said, Fox News to find out what's really
01:13:08.380
going on with issues like the, uh, freedom convoy. It doesn't that say it all. Yeah. And Laura
01:13:15.620
Ingraham last night, Laura Ingraham last night, even addressed the, like, why did the truckers have
01:13:22.340
to do this when Canada has an opposition party? And she went down the whole Aaron O'Toole rabbit hole.
01:13:28.200
And it's interesting that you have to look to an American who did maybe a couple of days worth of
01:13:33.940
research to get that sort of analysis that you won't see on the CBC that is paid $1.5 billion
01:13:40.140
to give Canadians that kind of analysis. Anyway, let's keep going because we're way past time to
01:13:48.160
go. Uh, D R B one, three, one, three gives us five bucks. He says he likes Pierre, but even if Harper
01:13:55.900
was leader, I will never vote conservative again. All the backroom scum still pollutes that party.
01:14:01.840
They do have to do a house cleaning there. Um, Mick three CA a buck. I said before Trudeau
01:14:09.940
needs to be arrested, unless someone removes the tyrants, the COVID season will never end
01:14:14.320
arrested for what though? Yeah. I'll settle for losing an election. Yeah. I see online. Some
01:14:21.360
people are saying like, you know, we have to do a citizen's arrest. That's how you end up committed
01:14:25.360
to a mental hospital. Don't do that. And I don't mean that you're crazy. I'm going to, I'm saying
01:14:31.360
they're going to treat you like you're crazy. And that's how you end up on a 72 hour hold.
01:14:35.800
Just don't do it. You're at the very best. You'll get tasered, but you'll get thrown in
01:14:41.440
the slammer. You're going to end up on a mental health hold and with all kinds of charges.
01:14:46.080
So just don't do it. Um, don't listen to the low liability people telling you to do those
01:14:51.340
things. If, if it should be done, if those people truly thought it should be done, they
01:14:56.300
would go out and do it themselves, but they're going to tell you to do it. And then what do you
01:14:59.960
go to jail for it? Um, Bob Jermaine gives us a buck and says, our Canada geese is still
01:15:07.220
allowed to honk in Canada, not in Ottawa. They got an injunction. Canada geese are fierce.
01:15:13.420
I got to say these truckers are fierce, but you don't want to go head to head with the
01:15:16.360
Canada goose. I have been there. I've done that. It's not recommended. So they're not
01:15:19.280
a bad national symbol for us right now. I got to say the libertarian flags with the goose,
01:15:24.240
very clever. When I was a kid, they took over our swimming pool and we just had to give it to
01:15:31.120
them. They just took it. We just like went outside one day and the geese were in the pool. We're
01:15:35.140
like, I guess we don't have a pool now. I guess it's the geese's pool. Sheila, you don't want to
01:15:39.500
swim in that water after Canada. No, of course not. Of course not. But we just like, we're like,
01:15:45.260
okay, well, I guess it belongs to the geese now. Uh, uh, Mick three CA a buck. I bet it's the
01:15:52.380
constant. Yeah. Please leave me alone. Mick three CA. I bet if the constant trunk truck honks
01:16:02.360
were replaced by the, we like to party song by the Venga boys, then truckers wouldn't be banned
01:16:08.680
from honking. Now that's in my head. Thanks a lot. I have no idea. If Waylon Jennings or Dolly Parton
01:16:17.240
didn't sing it, I don't know it. Uh, I know I have, I have old trucker taste in music, so I would
01:16:27.000
fit right in. Uh, Steven Rodriguez gives us five bucks. That is a good point about Fox news with
01:16:32.260
the recent CNN scandals. It would give rebel news more exposure if they could do an interview with
01:16:37.740
Tucker. Well, then you weren't listening last night because Ezra was on Tucker and the whole
01:16:42.140
first segment of Tucker was, um, about the truck convoy. And then right after that was Sean Hannity.
01:16:49.800
I think the second most popular show in cable primetime and his first segment, I think was
01:16:55.840
about the truckers. And then we had Lincoln Jay on there. And I think Lincoln Jay's on tonight also.
01:17:00.680
So, um, we, we are on Fox news actually quite a bit. And on the flip side, Sheila, um, our friends at
01:17:08.820
the democracy fund had, uh, Tucker Carlson on, uh, a zoom or Skype link to a packed house at Canada
01:17:15.840
Christian college a couple of months ago. Um, so yeah, we, uh, we have a channel with them, which
01:17:21.940
is, uh, in terms of communications, um, which is great. Yeah. Why don't we show Ezra's clip?
01:17:32.760
Audio please. Thanks so much for coming on. So get, it seems like your, the Trudeau government
01:17:39.980
has so completely overreacted to what appears to be a thoroughly peaceful protest that my read is
01:17:47.320
an outsider, a non-Canadian is that they're very weak. If they're terrified of the truckers,
01:17:51.380
you know, this is not a strong government. Yeah. I mean, Trudeau calls them violent.
01:17:57.780
His MPs say they're terrorists, but today in court, the most a judge would give them is that
01:18:04.260
they're enthusiastic horn honkers. And they've asked the truckers to stop honking at night.
01:18:10.520
That's it. Uh, there was an opinion poll that showed 32% of Canadians see themselves reflected
01:18:17.360
in the truckers in our multi-party system that would make them the leading party. If the truckers
01:18:23.920
formed a political movement, I think Justin Trudeau is more scared than he lets on because
01:18:28.340
these are supposed to be his people. They're young, they're ethnically diverse, they're working
01:18:33.100
class people, but they're not following the script that they normally do for him.
01:18:38.600
Can, can he stop this protest? It, I mean, do you think he can successfully shut it down from
01:18:44.600
wherever he's in hiding right now? Well, I mean, taking away the diesel fuel is a low blow. It's
01:18:50.320
very cold in Ottawa and most of these truckers are living in the little cab in their truck. So they
01:18:55.880
need diesel fuel for heat. So by taking away their diesel fuel, as you showed, he's really freezing
01:19:01.300
them out. And by the way, there's some families, there's even some kids. I don't know what legal
01:19:06.080
justification they have. Uh, the, the diesel fuel is not illegal. Uh, selling it, owning it,
01:19:12.480
having it is not illegal. I think he's just sort of thinking, well, what are they going to do to me?
01:19:16.680
Um, you know, these police go in heavily armed, brandishing their arms, taking the diesel fuel.
01:19:22.800
And so many of Canada's checks and balances have failed. There hasn't been a significant court ruling
01:19:28.340
against the lockdowns and Trudeau started hoping that they'll be able to starve or freeze these
01:19:33.460
truckers out. I don't think it's going to work though. It's not just in Ottawa. There are trucker
01:19:38.220
convoys in many other parts of the country, including hundreds that have blocked the Montana,
01:19:44.300
Alberta border for over a week. Now it's in the middle of the prairie, hundreds of huge trucks
01:19:50.300
and agricultural equipment that can't be towed away. The, the Mounties tried to move that blockade.
01:19:57.420
The burly, uh, truckers stood them down. So I think this problem is bigger than Trudeau knows how to
01:20:03.300
solve unless he goes full Castro on them. Uh, well, he's already going there. Uh, as far as I can tell,
01:20:09.000
it's tyranny and I hope they continue to resist. And Ezra, thank you for covering this fairly and
01:20:14.040
honestly. You, you really almost been unique in the entire country. So we appreciate it as Americans.
01:20:19.060
Thank you. Thanks. Well, you know, the big boss man, uh, knocked it out of the park as per usual.
01:20:24.640
And, you know, isn't it funny ladies, how, you know, a century ago when we were in prohibition,
01:20:28.580
uh, you had to get really creative of hiding your booze. Like you, you, you buy a fish and stuff
01:20:34.380
your, uh, Mickey down the fish so you wouldn't be, uh, arrested and charged. And now it's a hundred
01:20:41.060
years later, it's diesel fuel. That is the new prohibition, uh, contraband in our nation's capital.
01:20:48.760
Do you ever see this coming? No, no. And actually we have a, uh, we have a super chat about it.
01:20:54.560
Maybe we can bring up, um, some stills of this. People are walking around Ottawa now since
01:21:01.480
carrying diesel is illegal. Um, David bird 14 gives us 20 bucks and said, I just started watching.
01:21:09.040
I love the trolling of the police where everyone is carrying a gas can. It's awesome.
01:21:13.300
That's just gas cans. They're the yellow ones. Cause so that the cops think that they're diesel
01:21:18.760
and they're just walking around. And some of them say like full of love and they're empty.
01:21:23.620
And some guy had windshield washer fluid in his, so it's not diesel and carrying a gas
01:21:29.280
can or a diesel can. It's not illegal. Um, but they're getting their cans confiscated,
01:21:34.460
but it's sure keeping the cops busy. You know what, Sheila, you raise a really good
01:21:38.420
point here. Maybe the strategy is to hide in plain sight. I E, uh, don't carry around,
01:21:44.640
uh, uh, a jerry can, but put the fuel in pop bottles, for example. Right. I know that's
01:21:51.640
not the, the most appropriate way to transfer fuel, but desperate times call for desperate
01:21:57.300
measures. Yeah. I saw a Lex's video the other day when they were confiscating diesel. See,
01:22:03.460
yeah, these people are getting their diesel confiscated, but, uh, they confiscated like
01:22:09.860
3000 liters of diesel. It's like 5,000 bucks in one sting. Wow. That's crazy.
01:22:19.080
And what happens to the confiscated material? That's a lot of money. I mean, where is it
01:22:24.940
stored? Who gets to keep it? Yeah. Yeah. People are just wandering around carrying empty cannons.
01:22:34.500
Look at all those haters. Yeah. That's good. Keep the cops busy fighting the real crime in
01:22:43.020
Ottawa. Justin Trudeau, you know, he ethics violations all over the place to the point
01:22:48.440
where they're just numbering the ethics reports, like Trudeau one, Trudeau two, Trudeau three,
01:22:53.140
he gets a slap on the wrist and he has to say, I'm sorry and pay a 200 or $300 fine. That's fine.
01:22:59.820
But carrying a gas can, empty gas can, and the police are going to flatten you on the streets
01:23:04.240
of Ottawa. It's just, we're not a real country anymore. Unbelievable.
01:23:09.700
Uh, okay. Uh, we've Scott's not gives us 20 bucks. Glad to see you back. David Sheila,
01:23:16.340
a pleasure as always. And Kelly has mad skills. I tend to agree. Why thank you.
01:23:23.020
Kind of you. That's very appreciated. And Yana Steckle or Steckley one sends us 20 bucks. I don't
01:23:30.600
see a super chat, but, um, that's very generous. And that I think brings us up to the end of the day
01:23:36.060
and it is 1122 out here in Alberta. So we're well past the top of the hour. So David, why don't you
01:23:42.140
wrap it up for us? All right. Well, I want to thank very much, uh, Kelly Lamb for, uh, joining in.
01:23:47.220
Great to see you, Kelly. And thank you, Sheila. Thank you to all our viewers, especially the ones
01:23:51.180
who gave us some do re mi so that we can keep the lights on. Sheila and I shall be back in this spot
01:23:57.320
at this time on Thursday. In the meantime, stay sane. Hi, my name is Thomas O'Connor. I'm a paramedic
01:24:06.640
with the city of Ottawa. I've been working as a paramedic for the city of Ottawa for 13 years.
01:24:13.520
It saddens me to resign from a profession that I know and love so much. In the 13 years that I have
01:24:20.680
served this city, I've never been this utterly disgusted with the blatant disregard for basic
01:24:27.260
human rights, our constitutionally guaranteed right to free speech and basic Canadian values.
01:24:35.600
I have been on the front lines assisting the young, the elderly, and the injured. I have held the hands
01:24:43.640
of those who are drawing their last breath, and I have also assisted those drawing their first.
01:25:03.960
I have dedicated my life serving the residents of Ottawa.
01:25:17.840
I cannot believe that the man entrusted with Ottawa, Ottawa's well-being, has stooped to the level
01:25:36.820
of servitude of this partisan liberal agenda. When I saw the extent of the damage of the COVID-19
01:25:44.840
vaccine mandates and any other mandates that have come since then and how it's inflicted on my community,
01:25:54.840
my country, and the world, I had to join this grassroots movement. I decided I needed to stand
01:26:03.480
alongside the fellow Canadians fighting for their life and their liberty.
01:26:08.760
I must tell you, Mayor Jim Watson, Manager Steve Kanellakis, and Paramedic Chief Pierre Poirier,
01:26:18.760
I have been here on the grounds, and I have seen
