Summary
Joe Biden meets with Vladimir Putin at NATO, and it's a good thing he didn't wear those mittens with the string on them, or he might have lost them. Also, a new feature on Super Chat is coming to Rumble, and we talk about how much money you should be donating to the Red Cross.

Hi, everybody. I don't think I heard anything. Maybe I'm disconnected. Oh, I got you now.
00:00:19.860
Great to be here. Ezra Levan here on Wednesday. I almost missed the moment there. I don't think
00:00:24.780
my headset was bored. Can you say a quick hello to me to make sure? Yeah, I've got you now.
00:00:28.960
Perfect. Hi, everybody. And by that, I mean the folks watching on SuperU.net, the folks watching
00:00:35.800
on Rumble.com, the folks on YouTube.com, and the folks on Odyssey.com. It's nice to stream
00:00:44.060
in four different platforms. An innovation we did unwillingly at first because YouTube
00:00:51.000
deplatformed us or demonetized us and then suspended us for a week. But it's forced us
00:00:57.200
into this whole new world of competition where there are other services, better services,
00:01:04.600
freer services. And it's great to take those steps now before we're totally killed by YouTube.
00:01:12.200
So when that day comes where they finally give us the guillotine, our people know that we will
00:01:17.440
live on other platforms. So thank you for being a part of that. I'm also delighted to say that one
00:01:24.540
of these four platforms now allows people to give us tips, little donations, which is what we used to
00:01:33.420
rely on from YouTube. YouTube has something called the Super Chat. And Super Chats were the main source
00:01:40.360
of revenue we had from YouTube. They had basically demonetized us from everything else. We were on
00:01:45.640
track to make about 400 grand a year from YouTube. That was cut off. So folks who liked doing that,
00:01:51.980
and I thank you for it, SuperU.net now has that function. And I've also heard that that function
00:02:00.960
will be coming to Rumble.com. And I suppose I should mention that Odyssey already has that function in the
00:02:08.420
form of their cryptocurrency called library. Anyways, let's get to the news of the day. There's so many
00:02:14.860
interesting little things out there. I have on my little page here that's put together by Justin
00:02:22.820
every day. I got some really good ones. Holy cow. Joe Biden met with Vladimir Putin today. How did that
00:02:31.560
go? That's like a lion and a little doddering old mutton. Is mutton just the meat? I think an old
00:02:42.420
sheep. I sort of, I feel bad for Biden that he was put into that situation. We didn't have cameras in
00:02:53.040
the room, obviously, for the bulk of that conversation. But let me show you what it might have been like
00:02:59.180
in the room between Biden and Putin. Putin, he's 10 years younger than Biden, but he's clearly
00:03:06.200
got all his functions, his mentality, his cognitive ability. Biden is the kind of guy that his staff
00:03:15.680
make him wear those mittens with the string on them so you don't lose them. And here's Biden at the
00:03:24.680
NATO meeting. Just mumbling. And would you want this guy going toe to toe with Vladimir Putin on your
00:03:35.280
behalf? Take a listen to him at the NATO meeting.
00:03:36.920
And I've said before, and I apologize for you. Oh, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't tell you, you were
00:03:44.640
taking my next security advisor. I mean, there's not a lot of people here. I apologize. I'm going to
00:03:49.420
get in trouble. But anyway, we'll get back to that. But we, you know, there's a lot that is, it's
00:04:03.900
happening. Oh, my God. And we, you know, just, you know, the get back to the holy mackerel.
00:04:18.200
You know, it's amazing that he got through those debates in the US presidential election.
00:04:22.100
I think they had him like in a cryo chamber pumping with oxygen, giving him all sorts of
00:04:28.260
meds, just to give him like a few, a burst of, of lucidity. But I guess you can't do that on an
00:04:36.020
extended trip. G7, NATO, Putin. He's, he's not up for it. Donald Trump had a phrase he would use high
00:04:44.340
energy. He would call his opponents low energy, low energy. Jeb. It's true. Jeb Bush was low energy,
00:04:53.800
but Jeb Bush at least was still had his mental faculties. What you saw there, Joe Biden is
00:05:01.520
proof to the world that Joe Biden is not actually the leader of the United States. Now, I know he
00:05:12.920
holds the office and, and technically de jure. He is the president, but does anyone really think he's
00:05:21.040
the one making the decisions? He's got cue cards with him a lot where word for word, things are
00:05:32.680
written out for him. Do you have the cue cards? He was going into a meeting with Putin and he had his
00:05:40.120
lines written out. You know, when I was a kid, we called those, you know, mittens with the, with the
00:05:46.520
string on them that you put inside your snowsuit. So you don't lose your mittens. They were called
00:05:50.720
idiot strings. That's, I know that's, that wouldn't be used today because that's too mean, but that's
00:05:55.340
what they were called. I don't know. I'm sure that's a nicer name for them now, like forgetful
00:06:01.480
strings or don't lose. So you see, he's got their little pieces of paper with typed up messages that
00:06:10.280
someone wrote for him and he studies those. And we know that because he was using them
00:06:16.220
at the G7. Can you just Google G7 Biden notes? Because you can see, I mean, they're really lame
00:06:26.680
talking points too, by the way, but they're very basic, like just almost sort of, you are Joe Biden,
00:06:34.460
you are the president. You are in this city. You are at this meeting there. It's the kind of thing
00:06:43.300
that, that an Alzheimer's patient would put on sticky notes around the house. You have three
00:06:48.780
children. Their names are these. You have six grandchildren. Their names are these. It's, you
00:06:58.840
know, it's a sign of mental decline. It's not funny. When the president of the United States has
00:07:04.340
those little Alzheimer's post-it notes, it's worrying. I don't think I'm making fun of people
00:07:11.280
for having a declining mental state. I mean, I think because the life expectancy, especially in
00:07:18.180
the, in the free world is so long now. I mean, it's just incredible. It's in the eighties in many
00:07:26.680
places. You live so long because many diseases have been cured and lifestyle is better and food is
00:07:35.760
better. That you're going to see more dementia. I think, I think when the average life expectancy
00:07:42.720
was in the thirties, you probably didn't see a lot of dementia or senility, right? People would be dead
00:07:49.540
before then. So I'm not laughing at Joe Biden. I'm, I guess if I'm laughing at anyone, it would be
00:07:55.620
the American media who did their best to hide this, but you can't really hide it. And Putin can see
00:08:02.120
through it. Don't you think a former KGB agent can pretty quickly cut through things? Um, so that's
00:08:11.840
embarrassing. Um, yeah, you know what, if, if you can find it on Twitter, there's, yeah, that's exactly
00:08:24.940
it. So those are typed up cards for him to speak. Um, on Twitter, I don't know how you, so don't search
00:08:34.860
for a video, but there's some folks who have managed to get like a closeup of those. And it really is
00:08:41.820
those post-it notes that Alzheimer's patients stick on the fridge just to remind them their name and
00:08:47.020
what city they're in and the name of their family and things like that. Um, I don't think Donald
00:08:54.060
Trump had, had notes written by other people telling him what to say when he was at NATO or
00:09:00.260
meeting with Putin. In fact, um, I saw some old Trump staffer today, uh, was tweeting pictures that it
00:09:08.380
was Putin who had the notes when he was meeting with Trump, not the other way around. And it's
00:09:13.140
not, um, that important that you find those notes, but it was sort of pitiful. Um, you'd think that
00:09:18.960
a president would know what to say about Russia or China because they're on his mind all the time.
00:09:25.620
He's been thinking about them for months or years. He's had countless briefings and yeah. So look at
00:09:30.680
that. Biden fiddles with flashcard featuring anti-Trump talking points during press conference in England.
00:09:36.240
The president, the president, DOJ talking points, Trump abused power, Trump department of justice
00:09:44.940
out of control. Now we have to clean it up. I've made it clear this DOJ will reflect my values and
00:09:52.540
principles and priorities, not Donald Trump's. They include respect. So like these are, these aren't
00:10:00.480
even like, I can imagine maybe you write down facts and figures that you might forget, like a percentage
00:10:05.800
of this, or if there's a name of someone that you like, you don't know, well, you write the name
00:10:11.840
down. If there's some technical thing, but you really need someone to write down for you.
00:10:17.900
We don't like Trump. We have to clean it up. We're like, you have to, you really have to write this
00:10:24.160
down. I have three children. Their names are this like, listen, I'll be honest with you.
00:10:30.980
If you asked me to tell you the name, if you asked me to tell me the name of all my kids,
00:10:37.560
I could do it. If you asked me to tell me their birthdays, I would do it, but I would have to think
00:10:41.500
it through. Now I don't have grandkids, but if I had 10 grandkids, I admit I'd probably have a tough
00:10:48.080
time remembering 10 birthdays. That's the kind of thing you put on a card. 10 birthdays, the name of
00:10:56.080
this general, you know, you go to a NATO meeting, there's a bunch of countries there.
00:11:00.880
You can't remember the defense minister of every country or the general. So that's the kind of
00:11:05.280
thing you put on a flashcard, right? Like the stuff, like just a bullet point. You don't say,
00:11:11.320
my name is Joe Biden. Pause. And you're at the G7 in the UK.
00:11:19.540
Okay. And it's June. And the U.S. presidential election was November. So December, October,
00:11:29.800
December, January, February, March, April, May, June, seven months ago. It's been seven months
00:11:38.780
and 13 days or whatever it was. And your talking point in the UK is bashing Trump.
00:11:46.660
That's what's on your mind. You're at the G7. That's the meaning of the seven Western democracies.
00:11:56.720
It should, I think it should include India. I think India should be invited into that.
00:12:02.420
And you're, and you're kvetching about Trump. That's pitiful from a number of points of view.
00:12:07.500
But the fact that someone had to write that down on a card for you, that's super pitiful.
00:12:12.420
Um, hyper chat from rocks for any, I found one good thing about Biden. He makes Trudeau sound
00:12:21.480
coherent. Yeah. Well, you know what? I was thinking about this. Who is dumber?
00:12:25.700
So, you know, you got Joe Biden, who's losing his cognitive edge. And you got Trudeau, who's not
00:12:34.320
anywhere close to, um, dementia. Um, he is in full control of his faculties, but he's just so dumb.
00:12:45.200
That's not the same as Alzheimer's. Who is dumber, Joe Biden or Justin Trudeau? Now that
00:12:51.560
is a puzzle that you can turn over in your mind for a long time, uh, keeping on the foreign affairs
00:12:58.740
theme, I want to show you a quite an interview on the CBC. Now I don't really watch the CBC a lot,
00:13:05.000
but unfortunately I'm compelled to pay for it anyways. And, um, Rosemary Barton, who,
00:13:11.460
if you look at what she's called on the screen, she's called a CBC reporter, but never forget
00:13:16.740
that Rosemary Barton, um, was the plaintiff when the CBC sued the Conservative Party of Canada
00:13:25.600
right in the middle of the 2019 election. Rosemary Barton was the plaintiff. Even as she was reporting
00:13:32.520
on the Conservatives, she was suing the Conservatives. Never forget how unethical she is. So she'll sue the
00:13:41.340
Conservative Party of Canada. That's how much she hates them. But look at how she talks to the dictator
00:13:46.300
the Islamist extremist who runs Pakistan. Take a look at this. It appears it was, uh, one person,
00:13:53.780
uh, radicalized in some way on his own who did this. What is it that government should be doing,
00:13:59.060
for instance, to shut down online hate toward Muslims? I think there should be a very strict
00:14:05.460
action against it, this, because you see these, uh, hate, uh, websites, which, which again, as I said,
00:14:14.560
would divide, divide humanity by creating hatred, ignorant about the other human community. And you,
00:14:20.840
you target them and, and, uh, this hate material, and especially with the growing social media,
00:14:28.480
uh, and social media is, is it completely, you know, the world is just coming to grips with it
00:14:34.680
because it's a new phenomenon. Uh, and, and unfortunately, I mean, while there's so many
00:14:41.360
benefits of social media, it's changing the whole world, but this one particular bit, when there are
00:14:46.860
these hate websites, which, uh, which create hatred amongst human beings, there should be an
00:14:53.260
international action against them. And, and what would that look like to you,
00:14:57.460
Prime Minister? What would be the mechanism for doing that, if you will?
00:15:00.680
Prime Minister. Whenever the international community, and by that, I mean the world community,
00:15:06.140
the world leaders, whenever they decide upon taking action, this will be dealt with. The problem is,
00:15:13.700
at the moment, there is not enough motivation. The, the, some international leaders or leaders in the
00:15:21.120
Western countries actually don't, don't understand this phenomena. They do think that the Muslims are
00:15:27.240
these weird people who have these weird customs and they need to be, uh, uh, put in place. So it
00:15:34.020
just needs to be brought together and there has to be understanding and this can be promoted by world
00:15:39.620
leaders. Do you plan to reach out to Justin Trudeau to have a conversation about this?
00:15:45.860
Yes, I will. Uh, I've, I've had previous conversations with Justin Trudeau as well.
00:15:51.860
And I have to say, we mostly agree with, uh, with most things.
00:15:57.140
You know, um, there's a lot of incredible things there. I think one of the incredible things was
00:16:03.280
who brought up the subject of censorship? You can see that clip starts, they were talking about,
00:16:08.360
uh, the, the killing in London of a family on a road and Trudeau says it was terrorism.
00:16:16.240
We've since learned that the killer had severe mental issues, was in counseling, was an emancipated
00:16:23.600
teen, was violent before. We don't know the facts yet. We just don't know them. Was he motivated by
00:16:29.380
anti-Muslim malice? Was he just crazy? Was he acting alone? I don't know. Um, we won't find out until it
00:16:36.000
goes to court. But Rosemary Barton of the CBC is, is certain it's Islamophobia. And she,
00:16:46.240
she, she's interviewing the prime minister of Pakistan, um, an Islamist regime, a belligerent
00:16:53.080
terrorist supporting regime, a censorious regime. They're talking about Islam. I'm not sure if I
00:16:59.780
would go to an Islamic dictator, uh, who was, um, you know, Pakistan was, that's where they captured
00:17:06.500
Osama bin Laden. He was hiding in that country. Um, I'm not sure if I'd go to, uh, a brutal dictator
00:17:15.200
like that, uh, for, and I know he's, I'd call him an authoritarian rather than a dictator. Let me say
00:17:21.460
it that way. Um, is he really your best go-to for what Canada should do? Is that really? Well,
00:17:29.880
in the mind of, of Rosemary Barton it was. But who brought up censorship? Not the authoritarian
00:17:37.360
ruler of Pakistan. The CBC journalist did, which isn't surprising because she's the one that sued
00:17:46.080
the conservative party of Canada, shut them down. It's in her blood. She's a censor. She hates other
00:17:52.100
points of view. She hates them enough that she'll use taxpayers' dollars to sue the conservative
00:17:57.620
party right in the middle of the election. She's covering as a reporter. She brought up censorship.
00:18:03.800
She said, Hey, authoritarian thug. Do you think we should censor people? Do you think we should
00:18:09.620
crack down on the media? And he said, yeah. And she didn't press him. She didn't reflect any Canadian
00:18:16.760
values of free speech because she knows that Justin Trudeau and Stephen Gilbeau, her bosses,
00:18:24.520
they're planning on censoring Twitter. So she's just trying to find allies for Trudeau. That was so,
00:18:30.320
so, so, so gross. Now, Justin, while we were playing that,
00:18:35.440
I sent you a couple of emails. Did you get them?
00:18:41.640
And I receive emails like this from time to time. Just put any one of them up if you can.
00:18:49.040
Yeah, I don't think my email is a secret. I think a gazillion people have it. I have a bunch of emails.
00:18:55.500
If you want to email me, Ezra at rebelnews.com is the best. So can you pump that up a bit and show
00:19:03.240
me the date on that? So I get a bunch of these. This is one fairly recently, right? September 2019.
00:19:11.780
From Twitter Legal. Subject, Twitter receipt of correspondence, September 9th, 1919.
00:19:18.620
Hello, Ezra Levant. In the interest of transparency, we are writing to inform you
00:19:25.640
that Twitter has received a request from Pakistan regarding your Twitter account, Ezra Levant,
00:19:32.460
that claims the following content violates the law of the country.
00:19:38.760
And then if you click on it, you'll see it there. I think this is the cartoon, Danish cartoon.
00:19:43.460
Anyways, it goes on. And I get these all the time. The government of Pakistan is complaining
00:19:49.480
to Twitter all the time about me. And yeah, that's what it was. I put that up, I think,
00:19:58.040
in solidarity with the attack on the Bataclan or something, or sorry, not the Bataclan, Charlie Hebdo.
00:20:07.560
Anyways, so that's illegal in Pakistan. So the government of Pakistan, I'm in Canada.
00:20:13.460
Twitter's in California. But Pakistan wants Twitter in California to censor me in Canada.
00:20:24.260
They're in Pakistan shouting it at the wind. And that's who Rosemary Barton gives a tongue
00:20:34.960
bath to. Can you call up my, when I went to the Media Freedom Conference two years ago with
00:20:40.540
Sheila. Remember that? And I think I know I've shown this before, but indulge me for a moment.
00:20:50.220
So I was at this huge Media Freedom Conference in the UK, co-sponsored by Canada, which is such a lab.
00:20:55.960
And they had the agenda. It was written on paper. They also had an app. A lot of conferences these
00:21:05.560
days have an app, right? It's just in your phone and you can sort of schedule things and find things.
00:21:10.860
It's just a handy way. So I was so interested in this conference. I was there with Sheila and we had a
00:21:15.240
cameraman there and our friend Andrew Lawton was there from True North.
00:21:18.760
So I read everything in the entire conference agenda. Like I read it cover to cover because I
00:21:26.960
wanted to choose what to go to. And it was in this very big building. There was lots of great snacks,
00:21:33.000
very important to me. And Sheila was there and our cameraman Ed was there. What a great guy.
00:21:39.360
And, you know, it was like a two or three day thing. So you get a little tired. You sit down and
00:21:47.800
I walked into this huge room. Like it was in this huge complex. I walked into this huge, huge, huge,
00:21:55.760
huge room that was almost empty. And I thought, I really don't know what's going on here, but it's
00:22:01.700
empty. I just need to rest my weary bones and take out my laptop, check emails, whatever. You know,
00:22:06.420
I thought I walked into an empty room because it was 99% empty.
00:22:13.140
And there was nothing on the conference agenda about anything in this room at this time. I'm
00:22:18.800
telling you that because I checked. I thought I was just sitting down, like not in a lounge, but I had
00:22:25.120
found an empty room. And there was maybe 20 people in there. And I walk in and I realize, oh, I can't just
00:22:34.260
sit here for a quiet minute. There's actually something going on in here
00:22:37.260
that was off the menu. You know, there's some restaurants that they have like a secret menu,
00:22:46.140
you know, or if you know the chef, you can say, hey, chef, it's not on the menu, but can I order up
00:22:52.140
something special? And if he knows you, he'll do it. So I stumbled into a secret part of this media
00:22:59.480
freedom conference that was off the menu. That was not in the app. That was not in the printed
00:23:05.860
schedule. I literally stumbled in there by accident because I just wanted to sit down.
00:23:12.780
I came in midway through. I didn't know where it started.
00:23:16.780
So I go near the front and I, they didn't properly identify who was there. So I could tell that the guy
00:23:24.120
speaking, took me a minute. I could tell he was from Pakistan and he was saying how Pakistan is so
00:23:30.760
free. And I'm thinking, this is a media freedom conference. Pakistan is not free. It's extremely
00:23:37.120
unfree. Well, that's another point. Let me just interrupt my own story. Rosemary Barton did not
00:23:44.220
ask, not only did Rosemary Barton suggest to the Pakistani PM censorship, she didn't ask him about
00:23:52.240
the punishment of Ahmadiyya Muslims, which are a persecution of a Muslim minority in Pakistan.
00:23:59.620
Didn't ask him about the persecution of Christians. Certainly didn't ask him about the censorship in
00:24:05.480
social media. So I'm in this room in London and I don't know who's on the stage because I, again,
00:24:14.040
I can't find it in my book. I can't find it in my app. It's not on the wall. I stumbled into this
00:24:19.700
secret little get together and no one kept me out. So I sit down and I can hear the accent and
00:24:27.100
they're talking about Pakistan, but I don't know who this guy is. Other than he's like Rosemary
00:24:31.720
Barton. He's a liar. He's lying about Pakistan and pretending that Pakistan, one of the most
00:24:37.040
authoritarian countries in the world, is free. And I just can't believe it. And I just showed you
00:24:44.040
one of the emails I get from Pakistan Twitter. I don't know. Maybe it happens once a year. But I
00:24:51.920
received a bunch of them. Take my word for it. I think I sent you a second one, right? Like if I
00:24:56.060
just looked through my old emails, I could probably find five of them. So I'm always getting these
00:25:00.020
notes from Pakistan. Actually, the complaint goes from Pakistan to Twitter. And then Twitter
00:25:04.600
complains to me. Sometimes they take it down. Sometimes they require me to take it down, actually.
00:25:09.740
So I'm sitting there at a media freedom conference. And some guy on the stage, and I don't know who he
00:25:22.520
is, is saying, we are very free. And I'm thinking, no, you're not. Not only are you brutal at home,
00:25:34.040
not only do you support terrorists, not only did you give refuge to Osama bin Laden, not only do you
00:25:40.500
persecute Muslim minorities like the Ahmadiyya Muslims, not only do you murder and otherwise
00:25:48.180
persecute Christians, but you're a wicked liar. You're trying to censor me in Canada. So again,
00:25:56.380
I stumbled into this secret get-together. And there was someone else on the stage from another
00:26:01.960
country, and I didn't find it that interesting. And then the moderator says, all right, are there
00:26:06.060
any questions? Well, I got a question. But the moderator says, you can't ask the guy from Pakistan.
00:26:14.280
And I'm thinking, I'm in a media party, media freedom conference. I'm going to ask whatever I
00:26:20.460
damn well please. So I say, oh, yeah, yeah. And then I take the mic from the guy. And do you think
00:26:26.760
I'm going to obey him? Some little bureaucrat who says, don't ask the Pakistani gentleman any
00:26:32.540
prickly questions. Be like Rosemary Barton. Yeah, no thanks. No thanks. I mean, there's a certain
00:26:38.100
physical resemblance between me and Rosemary Barton. But that's where it ends. We disagree on
00:26:43.760
everything. I'm not going to be like her. I'm not going to be a pro-Pakistan, pro-sensitive journalist.
00:26:48.500
So I get the mic. And I don't know who I'm talking to at the time, other than he's with the
00:26:55.240
Pakistan government. I did not realize that this was the foreign minister of Pakistan.
00:27:03.480
Anyways, here's how that went. Really sorry, but we're kind of running out of time. We've got a
00:27:08.180
lot of panel session. I wonder if there are any questions very briefly for Minister Popovsky.
00:27:14.080
No, I got a shorty. I see there are not. There is one. Yes. Very quick one. Thanks. Actually,
00:27:19.620
I'm not going to be directed by you. I'm going to ask a question to the Pakistani gentleman.
00:27:23.360
Yes, I am. Because it's the Media Freedom Conference and you're not going to shut down
00:27:27.700
questions about a censor. You censored me, sir. I have a Twitter account in Canada. And because
00:27:34.080
I wrote something that introduced some Pakistani blasphemy law, you complained to Twitter, which
00:27:40.800
took down my tweet in Canada. So can you explain why your Islamic supremacy in Pakistan is silencing
00:27:49.520
my personal and journalistic freedom in Canada? And I know what happens in the United States
00:27:54.600
too. And frankly, you sure should be embarrassed to invite a censor like this. But back to the
00:27:58.800
thought, who the hell are you to censor me in Canada? Answer.
00:28:02.340
Now, I don't like free speech. I know you don't because you don't like free speech. You don't
00:28:08.080
like free speech. Okay. Would you like to respond to you, sir? First of all, you want your
00:28:15.920
sentiments to respect you. Now, just look at the door and the talent of the doctor. Is that
00:28:23.000
the correct way? You have a right last question. Well, then why did you censor me? You shut down
00:28:28.940
my Twitter tweet. Don't lie. Don't lie. Because the government of Pakistan did. The government
00:28:37.180
of Pakistan. No, you were not. You censored me. Don't lie. Because that's what you do.
00:28:45.020
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Shame on you. And shame on you. Shame on you. And shame on you for inviting
00:28:53.000
you. Shame on you. You censorious thug. You censorious thug. And what you call freedom at
00:29:01.640
time, you are projecting certain sectores. What do you think of that? You know, whenever
00:29:09.720
I use the word thug, it's a generic placeholder for a swear. Because I knew I shouldn't swear.
00:29:17.560
And I didn't. I got through that whole thing without swearing, right? But I had swears in
00:29:23.300
my mind. But I was very, I'm famously polite. He was lying. I've shown you right there one
00:29:31.500
of several emails that I've received from Twitter saying that the Pakistan government itself
00:29:36.640
demanded I be censored. So when he said I wasn't being censored, and when he said I wasn't being
00:29:42.060
censored by Pakistan, he's a liar. And you can see some security guard came over to me. And I didn't
00:29:50.680
want to be kicked out of the conference. I had flown all the way from Canada to London to be part of
00:29:55.640
it. My friend Sheila Gunn-Reed was with me right there, which was pretty fun. She's the one who was
00:30:00.980
filming it. I don't think the foreign minister of Pakistan, and I did not know who he was, Justin.
00:30:10.400
Like, that's a pretty big, big shot. I don't think he ever has been spoken to that way in his life,
00:30:17.240
other than maybe by people just before he kills them or something in one of his secret prisons.
00:30:23.420
What I learned after that, like, I was stunned to learn who he was. I thought he was just some liar.
00:30:29.540
Yeah, he's a liar who happens to be a foreign minister. And I don't want to ask you to find it
00:30:36.320
now, because it's probably pretty hard to find. But Chrystia Freeland was the co-host of this
00:30:47.960
conference back then, which is such a laugh. She had secret meetings with him. She had
00:30:59.100
secret meetings with the foreign minister of Pakistan, one of the world's worst censors,
00:31:04.180
at a world press freedom conference. I know I tweeted about it,
00:31:09.100
and I'm having trouble finding it now. So how did I learn they had secret meetings
00:31:17.760
if they were secret? Like, it can't really be secret, right? Because he tweeted about it. He published
00:31:28.220
it. When you meet with a grubby little dictator like Shah Mahmoud Qureshi, when you're a Western
00:31:35.480
Democrat, you're giving him an amazing proof that you're normalized, you're not a bad person.
00:31:43.600
You know, he put it on his Facebook. Let me see if I can find it. He deleted it after I tweeted it.
00:32:03.020
Anyways, I won't spend more time on it. He tweeted that to show off to the prime minister of Pakistan,
00:32:11.780
to show off to the people of Pakistan, that he was polite company, according to Chrystia Freeland.
00:32:16.620
Chrystia Freeland did not tweet it, did not publish anywhere that she had met with that thug.
00:32:23.560
I stumbled upon it by accident. And what, so anyway, so I, that was the whole interaction.
00:32:30.360
You saw that one blonde cop come up to me and say, sit down. And I did, because I had made my
00:32:36.520
point. I wasn't going to, there was not much more to say. There were some other people there who were
00:32:43.080
actually democracy activists who cared about Pakistan. And as I walked out of the room, I was
00:32:48.200
sort of surrounded. And I was, and all these folks are from Pakistan. And I'll be honest with you,
00:32:55.360
my first thought was, uh-oh, these are secret police who are trying to rough me up or threaten
00:33:01.380
me because of what I just said to their boss. No. One of them was a Pakistani democracy activist.
00:33:09.220
Can you find that, that video? I wonder how we would, because it was from, that would have been
00:33:16.500
2009, I think. So I was surrounded by all these guys from Pakistan. And I thought, shoot, this is
00:33:27.420
the, his private entourage or something. No. It was folks who were amazed that anyone had spoken
00:33:37.680
back like that. And I just found it. I'm going to send you the link. And can you play a moment of
00:33:49.080
this? Um, so here's one of the guys who came up to me immediately after. He couldn't believe it. I was
00:33:58.500
worried this guy was like a cop. But no, he, so I said, well, let's talk for a minute. And I was still,
00:34:04.140
well, who are you? Who are you? And, uh, did you get that link I sent you there?
00:34:11.380
You know, just, uh, just put, put it up. It's only four minutes long. Let's take a look.
00:34:21.300
Yes, I am. Because it's a media freedom conference and you're not going to shut down questions about a censor.
00:34:27.760
I have a Twitter account in Canada. And because I wrote something that
00:34:32.220
produced some Pakistani blasphemy law, you complained to Twitter, which took down my tweet
00:34:39.160
in Canada. So can you explain why your Islamic supremacy in Pakistan is silencing my personal
00:34:47.500
and journalistic freedom in Canada? And I know it happens in the United States too. And frankly,
00:34:52.580
you sure should be embarrassed to invite a censor like this. But back to the thought,
00:34:56.220
who the hell are you to censor me in Canada? Answer.
00:35:02.800
Irfan, after I asked the foreign minister a tough question, you came up to me. At first,
00:35:06.820
I thought you were maybe an enforcer of his, but the opposite. The Pakistani government has, uh,
00:35:14.180
Uh, thank you very much for your time. You know, the first question which I asked the minister,
00:35:17.820
I'm really shocked when coming to this, uh, world organization, like the conference where the
00:35:21.800
whole world is watching you and, and putting a show to the world that in Pakistan, the media is
00:35:27.220
free, which is not. The three channels have been taken off the air, right? And this is something
00:35:32.040
really, um, like, uh, disturbing for all the journalists because we don't know where we stand
00:35:37.120
as a free journalist and what we have to do. Because the reason was, uh, during the time when
00:35:41.160
the PTI government in Pakistan, right? They were campaigning for the election. The 20,
00:35:46.320
the channels in Pakistan were actually showing the street power of PTI, uh, without any discrimination
00:35:52.240
because this is, everybody has a right to come in the street and talk about, but this is what
00:35:55.820
happens in democracies. But recently, uh, since this government came into power, right? Uh, most of
00:36:03.460
the media houses in Pakistan are actually controlled in, in their own way that you cannot show this,
00:36:08.560
you cannot show this, there's a lot of censorship going on, right? The question was during the press
00:36:12.860
conference of, um, uh, the political rival of the foreign ministers, uh, Shah Mehmet Qureshi,
00:36:18.380
Maryam Namaz, who is the daughter of, uh, the ex-prime minister in Pakistan, right? And, uh, during
00:36:23.700
her press conference, these channels have been taken off the air because what she was actually
00:36:27.740
coming up with the evidence, what exactly happened with that particular judge who, uh, who actually
00:36:34.200
admitted the fact that, uh, the whole decision, uh, in the case of, uh, the prime minister of
00:36:39.860
Pakistan was influenced by some power corridors, right? And tell me, uh, you mentioned just before
00:36:45.240
we turn the camera on that you yourself, the, your media outlet has been censored. Tell me a little
00:36:49.620
bit more about that. You said you were taken off the air? Yeah. In the most part of the country,
00:36:52.740
24 news is not, um, uh, live. And, uh, there's a message came on the screen. There's a technical
00:36:57.780
error. Uh, but it wasn't a technical error, was it? Technical error. Everybody knows where the error was.
00:37:01.580
And, you know, it's just more like a censorship, which the Pakistan media is actually facing
00:37:05.060
right now. Let me ask you one last question. I know you're very busy. Thanks for talking
00:37:08.180
with me. How did you feel as a journalist who's been censored by the government of Pakistan
00:37:13.060
to see the foreign minister of Pakistan on stage being given the red carpet treatment?
00:37:19.400
But you know what? That's, that's, that's the thing. When you come to a world platform like
00:37:22.960
this, and, uh, if you have to put the ball in somebody else's court, right? Oh, this is not
00:37:26.880
my job. I'm the foreign minister. This is a Pemras who is doing in Pakistan, the regulatory
00:37:30.760
body in Pakistan. Then why are you here? Send somebody who's the representative of the Pemras
00:37:34.360
so we can actually address to the people, the right people, the right question, if you believe
00:37:38.000
that. I think, uh, this is absolutely defying the values of, uh, the journalism in Pakistan.
00:37:42.640
If someone of that level coming to, uh, media conferences like this, I think this, they're just
00:37:47.220
filling the, uh, filling the blanks and it's not nothing more than that.
00:37:51.100
Irfan, thanks very much for talking with us and good luck. You are on the front lines of free
00:37:54.940
speech and I hope you stay strong. Thank you very much. I thank you very much. Nice to meet you.
00:37:58.540
Thank you. Well, what do you think of that? I enjoyed meeting that guy. Uh, and I was really
00:38:04.300
glad that he was there and he was shocked like me that, uh, Shah Mahmoud Qureshi, the foreign
00:38:11.780
minister of Pakistan was invited to be there. He obviously knew about it. I don't know how he
00:38:15.820
knew about it. I literally was looking just for a place to sit down. You know, half of journalism
00:38:22.840
and half of politics is just being there, you know? So, uh, there you go. Um, I, you know
00:38:33.320
what, that, that was a fun interaction. I, you know, things like that, your, your heart beat
00:38:37.920
goes up. You're, you're, you're worried you got to stumble over your own tongue. You have
00:38:43.320
to get it right the first time. Those are in journalism. A lot of things are waiting or pondering,
00:38:49.740
but then there's those moments where you got to be on. And for me, I want to make sure
00:38:55.920
I don't swear. And, uh, I want to make sure I can succinctly say the facts in a way that
00:39:03.540
viewers understand, even if the answerer doesn't answer. But I thought that, you know, I should
00:39:09.320
tell you, I don't know, Justin, if you remember that through, uh, a cat amongst the pigeons,
00:39:14.800
holy moly, because everyone like Irfan there, the, the, the, the democracy journalist, they
00:39:23.120
said, well, this is shocking. And my phone was ringing pretty much. I mean, there's a
00:39:28.900
lot of Pakistani folks in London. That's where this conference was. I got so many people
00:39:33.960
from different, uh, expat Pakistan newspapers and TV and radio stations were all shocked.
00:39:42.480
Like this became, this went viral in the Pakistani media because no one had ever spoken to this
00:39:51.360
censorious thug that way. And no one certainly used those words. Anyways, that was pretty exciting.
00:39:57.680
I remember that. And, uh, so that's how I deal with censorious thugs from Pakistan. A little bit
00:40:04.840
different than how my doppelganger Rosemary Barton deals with them. She's more like, hi,
00:40:12.200
can I, can I, can I get you, can I be your concierge today? Hi, is there anything else I can get you as
00:40:18.200
your waiter today? That's Rosemary Barton's approach to Pakistan, um, censorship. Mine was a little bit
00:40:24.920
more vigorous. I don't know. To each their own. Um, that was fun. I want to, um, show you a little
00:40:39.080
video from Israel. We're doing some foreign affairs now and Israel, I'm uncomfortable with
00:40:45.320
some of the things they've done in the pandemic. They locked down very hard. They've really pushed
00:40:53.560
the vaccines. And I think these vaccines are dangerous. And I say that because I see reports of
00:41:01.080
side effects. But mainly I say that because we just don't have all the facts yet. And I say that
00:41:08.840
because they're not done being tested yet. Most medicines, especially vaccines, are tested for
00:41:15.800
literally years on different groups and different doses with different questions, different variables,
00:41:21.320
that is. How will this affect pregnant mothers? How it affects
00:41:29.640
breastfeeding mothers? How will it affect fertility? How will it affect,
00:41:35.160
you know, so many questions that you just can't figure out if you rush something to market in six
00:41:39.640
months? And, but even in the year and a half since we got into this mess, we've learned so much more
00:41:47.320
about the disease and who it doesn't affect. It doesn't affect children in a deadly way.
00:41:57.320
There are some children who die from it, but the rate is so low
00:42:03.160
that it doesn't justify the risks of a vaccine that is not yet approved that's authorized only for
00:42:10.440
emergency use. They were crazy with the masks, crazy with everything. But I see that they've
00:42:19.960
lifted their masks mandate. We got a little video of that. Take a look.
00:42:23.240
I want to remind you that in the decision of the administration, we have decided that today
00:43:19.780
Of course, places like Florida have been mask-free for much longer.
00:43:25.000
But Israel had such a harsh lockdown, it's good to see they're out of it.
00:43:29.040
And that video seems like it was sort of hyped up by the teacher.
00:43:34.140
Like, I wouldn't call that a completely authentic video.
00:43:37.500
It felt like, I'm not going to say staged, but the teacher clearly wanted to make a demonstration.
00:43:43.940
I'm glad she did, and by the way, I believe those kids are being honest.
00:43:47.220
They hate masks, and they hate the pressure of it, they hate the alienation of it.
00:43:52.760
And I think that was genuine joy on their part.
00:44:03.180
Maybe it's not the case everywhere in Canada, certainly not everywhere in the West,
00:44:07.760
not everywhere in America, but in some parts, in some of the cities,
00:44:14.300
Mask fetishization has taken on such a deep psychological hold on people.
00:44:22.820
I would call it like a superstition, like a cult.
00:44:25.900
I won't say like a religion, because it's not that thought through.
00:44:38.340
I wear a mask, so I'm better than you, and so I can condemn you if you're not wearing a mask,
00:44:43.860
and to protect me from you condemning me, the mask has taken on a life of its own.
00:44:49.980
So it's good to see that in Israel, at least that class and that teacher are throwing it out.
00:45:05.380
Blue Jetty on Odyssey, one library, your cute and cuddly doppelganger.
00:45:15.200
Thank you, Ezra and Rebel Reporters, for standing up for the truth and freedom.
00:45:20.180
On Rumble, Chrissy's Kingdom, oh, oh yeah, the video may have been planned, but the joy
00:45:31.420
Um, you know, I'm going to show you a video, and it's taken from YouTube, and we're not going
00:45:41.960
So this is on YouTube, and the channel it was on, I can't remember off the top of my head,
00:45:56.860
So it couldn't be more official, more Hollywood liberal, more fancy pants.
00:46:02.300
If this video were, say, on Rebel News three months ago, it would have been used to demonetize
00:46:14.400
And that's one of the weird things here, is the absolute liberal icon, Jon Stewart, who
00:46:19.940
for a decade was the biggest Democrat shill in Hollywood, um, anti-George W. Bush, uh, and
00:46:27.260
Obama, you know, it was almost erotic, the love he had for Obama and the despise he had
00:46:34.140
for Trump, I mean, this guy really is a liberal first, a comedian second, but he was on the
00:46:40.140
show two nights ago, and holy cow, this is what the kids say, red-pilled.
00:46:48.360
This is someone who has had the scales fall from his eyes.
00:46:54.380
Uh, do we, do we have that compilation you put together for my monologue?
00:47:01.640
You're, you're, okay, okay, let's play, so this is straight from, from the show's own
00:47:10.400
I was really hoping that, like, in 1918, they'd be like, drink a tincture of mercury
00:47:14.900
and butterfly juice, like, you, I was hoping it'd be like some bizarre thing, and I'm like,
00:47:23.800
I, I, and I honestly mean this, I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science.
00:47:34.680
Science has, in many ways, helped ease, uh, the suffering of this pandemic, uh, which was
00:47:57.360
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:47:59.920
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:48:02.200
It's coffee. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that to you.
00:48:04.580
What do you mean by that? Do you mean like there's a chance that this was created in a lab?
00:48:12.400
Well, if there's evidence, I'd love to hear it.
00:48:15.320
There's a novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China.
00:48:32.200
That's just that's just a little too weird, don't you think?
00:48:36.140
And then they ask those scientists, they're like, how did this?
00:48:38.520
So wait a minute. You work at the Wuhan respiratory coronavirus lab.
00:48:42.760
How did this happen? And they're like, a pangolin kissed a turtle.
00:48:48.040
And you're like, no, you get the name of your lab.
00:48:54.960
Can I let me see your business card? Show me your business card.
00:49:05.180
Oh, because there's a coronavirus loose in Wuhan.
00:49:30.020
There's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania.
00:49:38.940
Maybe a steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean.
00:49:59.300
And Stephen Colbert becomes increasingly uncomfortable with it and pushes back a bit.
00:50:06.660
The boss of that world, the boss of late night snark liberal comedy is Jon Stewart.
00:50:16.860
But when he's puncturing the foolish pomposity of the trust the science left, the science is evolving left, it is fun to watch.
00:50:32.920
But, yeah, what's so incredible about that is if that had been said by Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast,
00:50:43.000
that would have caused him to be deplatformed in many places.
00:50:49.820
If that was on our show, we would be cut off from YouTube.
00:50:53.180
But now it's sort of cool because a cool guy said it.
00:50:56.380
I think the reason that works is because they achieved their goal with the pandemic,
00:51:01.720
which was China destroyed the economy of the West.
00:51:05.460
China did the worst blow to civil liberties in the West in almost a century.
00:51:13.000
And Trump was removed from office, both by having the economy dashed,
00:51:20.540
but also the pandemic provided the pretext for mail-in voting.
00:51:25.760
So, yeah, let the, you know, late night entertainers put on their clown nose and make some jokes now,
00:51:35.040
I'm going to read some more Super Chats coming in.
00:51:37.380
Rocks for any truth bomb thrown at the Lemmings.
00:51:48.840
it is rather ridiculous to think the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
00:51:53.740
Nah, it's probably got nothing to do with them.
00:51:57.800
Now Democrats decided it doesn't hurt Trump somehow,
00:52:06.560
and now he has to kowtow to the Democrats for it's the only audience he's left is left.
00:52:17.820
a lot of these late night talk shows had a big studio audience
00:52:28.740
So many of these produced late night talk shows in the studio audience in New York or LA
00:52:42.660
were really little more than corporate PR for the latest Hollywood movie
00:53:00.640
and as part of the contract they had to promote the movie
00:53:05.120
and then Jimmy Fallon or John Stewart or whoever could ask a few pretend personal questions
00:53:11.400
to make it seem like it was actually a real interview,
00:53:20.200
because as we've gotten woker and woker as a culture,
00:53:24.220
you can make fewer and fewer jokes about things.
00:53:27.540
I think that's one of the reasons why Saturday Night Live is so unfunny,
00:53:31.100
partly because they had Trump's arrangement for four years,
00:53:33.500
but partly because you're not allowed to be funny.
00:53:38.580
When these shows, Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert,
00:53:50.320
They would set up like a little home studio in their living room.
00:54:02.880
because now you don't have the big orchestra there,
00:54:06.840
you don't have the, I guess you still have some graphics,
00:54:32.240
and it's actually becoming commercially viable.
00:54:34.060
Well, there's a comedian out there who is so dirty.
00:54:38.640
And I'm sort of afraid to play some of his clips
00:54:42.220
and he just throws in little bombs from now and then.
00:55:20.680
Um, and there's probably a few gross out things
00:55:25.000
because just when he, I think he's got this need
00:56:26.100
And then you have this really elite sanctum of Hollywood,
00:56:50.320
You know, I was in Italy when you were in Italy.
