Hi, everybody. Ezra Levant here. How are you doing? I am the Rebel Commander here at Rebel
00:00:18.540
News Network Limited. What a pleasure to sit in this chair. You know, we started the
00:00:22.180
live stream idea in 2020 when the pandemic was afoot and there was just so much to cover.
00:00:28.240
We couldn't cover it all in our normal outlets. So every day I sat here and yapped for an extra
00:00:34.400
hour or even 90 minutes. There was so much to cover to go through the stats and to debunk
00:00:38.640
the misinformation. And by misinformation, of course, I mean the government misinformation.
00:00:44.660
I think it took us about two weeks to realize that two weeks to flatten the curve meant two years to
00:00:50.280
flatten the curve. That's how these live streams started. But we've kept it going now. Unfortunately,
00:00:54.800
over the years, I got a little bit busy with red tapey things here at the company, but I am trying
00:00:59.340
to return to this chair several times a week at least because there's so much to talk about. And
00:01:03.420
I can't cover it all at my 8 p.m. show. As you may or may not know, every day at 8 p.m. Eastern,
00:01:10.860
6 p.m. Mountain Time, I do a scripted produced show. For example, tonight I'm going to talk about
00:01:17.980
a new bylaw. The bylaw is not that new, but it's going to be used in a new way.
00:01:25.160
There are protests pro and con in Calgary about the drag queen story hour. They're having all ages
00:01:33.800
drag events, including, I think there's some skating events there. And so there's some protesters
00:01:39.700
for and protesters against, and that's called freedom. And, you know, as long as there's no
00:01:47.300
violence or threats of violence, some people might say that the drag queens are obscene. And that's
00:01:54.740
why, for example, we don't allow children into strip clubs. And maybe that same sort of law should
00:02:00.320
apply. But actually, the law that is being applied is by the mayor. The mayor of Calgary says she is
00:02:08.300
going to fine and ticket anyone who comes there with hate in their hearts. Here's a story by the
00:02:17.580
CBC. They are thrilled about this. Calgary mayor threatens to fine protesters after drag event
00:02:22.760
canceled. City will leverage, I like that word, street harassment bylaw for hate-motivated protests.
00:02:31.060
Now, I wonder, there's so many questions, and I'm not going to give away my monologue right now,
00:02:36.220
but it's just such a crazy story. So you can have a protest, but if you protest one day,
00:02:43.380
and you have, let's say, sorrow in your heart, and you say, there shouldn't be a drag queen story
00:02:50.280
hour with kids. And then the next day, you say, there shouldn't be a drag queen story hour with
00:02:55.780
kids. But your feeling in your heart is hate. So one day it was sorrow, one day it was hate. One of
00:03:01.440
those is against the law, one of them is legal. In other words, it's the government now determining
00:03:06.780
whether or not you're allowed to do something based on your feelings or your thoughts, because
00:03:11.240
that's hate is a feeling. Sorrow is a feeling. It's absurd. It's against the law. It's an attempt
00:03:17.160
by the city hall to impose criminal sanctions against peaceful protesters. It will not surprise
00:03:23.800
you to know that in my monologue tonight, I will offer to legally defend anyone charged with those
00:03:28.700
tickets and to challenge the constitutional constitutionality thereof. I wonder if the
00:03:34.520
CBC state broadcaster, which was absolutely effusive, I wonder if they would feel that way if it was so,
00:03:41.740
I don't know, Stephen Harper, who was ticketing protesters by labor unions, if they had the wrong
00:03:49.600
feelings in their heart. Hey, I see, Olivia, that you're calling up Jody Gondek's tweets. She's the
00:03:55.140
mayor. Again, I don't want to give away my whole monologue right now, but I just want to play for
00:03:59.880
you the video attached to her second tweet. She really is an atrocious, appalling woman. Here she
00:04:06.060
is in city hall basically saying, if she doesn't like you, she's going to have the police arrest you
00:04:13.180
and ticket you and fine you. And she is prejudging anyone who dares. If you are opposed to drag queens
00:04:20.900
and young children together, you are by definition a horrible person, she uses that word,
00:04:27.900
and a hater and you will be targeted. Whereas if you come to the same protest to cheer on the
00:04:32.960
drag queens, you'll be just fine. Don't take it from me. Take it from this out of control woke mayor.
00:04:38.640
Take a look. We had a drag brunch at the rec room in the north of Calgary by our community of drag queens
00:04:48.600
in Calgary who have done amazing work promoting inclusion and really raising awareness of how
00:04:55.040
important it is to be a welcoming community. Unfortunately, some members of our population
00:05:00.760
thought it would be a good idea to protest this event, which is, I'm just going to use my opinion,
00:05:05.880
a horrible thing to do. I was very happy that CPS was there to provide a buffer and to ensure that
00:05:12.140
everyone was safe and that the show could go on. My question is, do we have the ability when a
00:05:18.180
protest is rooted in hatred to ticket people and shut this down? How does it work?
00:05:26.880
Thanks. We don't need the answer there. It's a boring answer by a city manager who says,
00:05:32.420
well, I'll get you that answer because it's really a shocking question. But you heard her.
00:05:36.340
How can we shut down protests? How can we shut down these haters? How can we shut down? There are
00:05:42.960
people who disagree with me. How can I shut them down? And the city manager was very excited about
00:05:48.180
her project. And of course, the Calgary police are going to go along with it. I'm not going to
00:05:52.980
go any further on the subject because I want to save the best for my show tonight at 8 p.m. I hope
00:05:59.520
you join in. Tonight, I'll also be talking with my friend Sue Ann Levy, who for many years covered
00:06:05.380
Toronto City Hall for the Toronto Sun. And she was a skeptic, a critic of Mayor John Tory,
00:06:14.000
especially in the last few years. And hey, I tweeted a goofy TikTok video about someone
00:06:23.460
molesting a mailbox the other day. I don't know if you saw that, Olivia. But when I think of John Tory,
00:06:29.140
I think of a few things. But the main thing I think of as a citizen of Toronto
00:06:32.980
is how crappy the city has become. You know, the nickname of Toronto, many cities have nicknames.
00:06:40.180
Calgary is Cowtown. Chicago is the Windy City, City of Big Shoulders,
00:06:48.860
Busher Shop to the World. These are various nicknames.
00:06:53.740
Toronto was called the Big Smoke. I presume that referred to factories and eras gone by.
00:07:01.320
But I think the best nickname for Toronto, which was sort of a double-edged nickname,
00:07:09.700
was Toronto the Good. Toronto the Good meant it was a good place. It really was a good place.
00:07:17.660
But sometimes it was a little bit too aware that it was a good place. Maybe its morality was a little
00:07:22.580
bit stuffy and maybe it was a little bit too patrician or something. So, you know, it's like the nickname that
00:07:28.480
Australia was given, the lucky country. I love calling Australia the lucky country. I think it
00:07:35.460
sounds wonderful. But it was used as an insult, as in, oh, everything Australia has, it got by luck.
00:07:46.700
Well, Toronto the Good. Yeah, that's it right there. That's the one there. So Toronto the Good,
00:07:50.920
well, who wouldn't want to live in a good place? And if it's, you know, New York, the city that never
00:07:56.900
sleeps. Yeah, I mean, well, Toronto does sleep. I mean, there weren't quite as many bars open at
00:08:03.700
4 a.m. It wasn't quite as wild as New York City. And I think Toronto liked it that way. It was very
00:08:08.820
Canadian that way. And you'd think by looking at him, John Tory would be a Toronto the Good kind of
00:08:15.780
mayor, focus on order and safety and do the subways run and is the garbage cleaned up. But this city
00:08:24.020
is no longer Toronto the Good. It feels more like Skid Row, feels more like the decrepit state of San
00:08:33.780
Francisco, L.A., Portland, Seattle, what's happening to New York. And I saw this video the other day
00:08:41.660
and it goes on and on. And I really think you should watch it because the fact that it feels so
00:08:48.180
long is half the impact of it. It's some homemade song, an homage to mailmen, which is hilarious
00:08:59.240
because it's some street person molesting a mailbox for an interminably long time.
00:09:07.320
And no one cares. Certainly not any authorities. Certainly not any police. Because that's
00:09:12.080
Toronto in 2023. This is the Toronto that John Tory built. Play that TikTok video and weep.
00:09:19.840
Mail delivery person. Always delivering the mail day after day. It's such difficult work.
00:09:30.040
You agree with me. In my choice of the word molest, he is molesting that mailbox.
00:09:42.720
People are driving by. And people are walking by. And people are filming.
00:09:50.560
And that's just Toronto. And the fact that he feels so confident
00:09:57.500
to molest a mailbox. And you'll see very soon, he starts stealing letters, just random letters.
00:10:07.660
birthday cards from grandparents to children with a little check in them maybe? Were they
00:10:16.460
what? Well, we'll never know. Were they bill payments? Imagine if you had to pay a bill
00:10:21.560
and this guy stole your mail right out of the mailbox and the public utility that you paid didn't get the
00:10:37.480
The stores behind them. Would they care if he took that mailbox and threw it through a window?
00:10:42.720
I don't know. When I think of John Tory's Toronto, that's what I think of, except for
00:10:49.400
that was uncharacteristic in one way. The traffic there was actually moving in John Tory's Toronto.
00:10:56.880
The traffic typically doesn't move. So John Tory, I thought, and because he was, we've now learned that
00:11:04.760
he was a deceiver. We've now learned that he's a shyster, a trickster, a liar, an actor.
00:11:15.000
Someone who was not who he said he was. Because this establishment man, this Toronto the good guy,
00:11:23.480
turns out while he was telling you and me not to gather with others, not to
00:11:29.080
mix households. Remember, he was the fool who drew those little circles on the grass in Trinity
00:11:35.880
Bellwoods Park. While he was saying to you, you cannot mingle with others,
00:11:42.840
he had a sexual relationship with a staffer half his age,
00:11:52.360
Here, take a look at the cad, the cheater, the deceiver,
00:11:55.720
the adulterer, the rule breaker, the scold, admitting that everything about him was a lie.
00:12:07.720
I want to update Torontonians on a difficult personal matter. During the pandemic, I developed a
00:12:13.640
relationship with an employee in my office in a way that did not meet the standards to which I hold
00:12:18.520
myself as mayor and as a family man. The relationship ended by mutual consent earlier this year.
00:12:25.480
During the course of our relationship some time ago, the employee decided to pursue employment
00:12:29.320
outside City Hall and secured a job elsewhere. I recognize that permitting this relationship to
00:12:35.400
develop was a serious error in judgment on my part. It came at a time when Barb, my wife of 40 plus
00:12:41.480
years and I were enduring many lengthy periods apart while I carried out my responsibilities during
00:12:45.960
the pandemic. As a result, I've decided that I will step down as mayor so that I can take the time to
00:12:51.480
reflect on my mistakes and to do the work of rebuilding the trust of my family. I think it is
00:12:56.440
important as I always have for the office of the mayor not to be in any way tarnished and not to see
00:13:00.840
the city government itself but through a period of prolonged controversy arising out of this error in
00:13:05.480
judgment on my part, especially in light of some of the challenges that we face as a city.
00:13:10.200
I'm deeply sorry and I apologize unreservedly to the people of Toronto and to all of those hurt by my
00:13:16.200
actions including my staff, my colleagues on City Council and the public service for whom I have
00:13:21.160
such respect. Most of all, I apologize to my wife Barb and to my family who I've let down more than
00:13:27.640
anyone else. I hope the privacy of all of those impacted by my actions can be respected and that
00:13:33.400
includes me. I think as you know that I am naturally not I'm naturally a private person notwithstanding
00:13:39.800
some of the jobs that I've had over the years and I hope you'll respect that and the privacy of everyone
00:13:44.520
else as well, especially my wife and family. I've made the integrity commissioner aware of the
00:13:49.320
relationship and asked him to review it. I want to thank the people of Toronto for trusting me
00:13:54.280
as mayor. It has been the job of a lifetime and while I've let them down and my family down in this
00:13:59.400
instance, I've nonetheless been deeply honoured by the opportunity to serve the people of this
00:14:03.480
wonderful city and I believe that I did some good for the city, that I did make a positive difference
00:14:09.000
for the city that I truly love, particularly during the pandemic. I'm usually known for taking as many
00:14:14.280
questions as you want to ask, but on this occasion I think I'll let my statement speak for itself.
00:14:18.440
Thank you. So there's a few things going on there. I mean you could say, well Ezra, what's the big
00:14:26.520
deal? They're two consenting adults and it's true, but of course when one is the boss of the other,
00:14:33.480
was she hired for that reason? Was she promoted? Did she get benefits for that reason?
00:14:38.120
Were they carrying on their illicit affair on company time with company resources? They were traveling.
00:14:42.600
Were they traveling together? Were the trips arranged in a way that they could have their
00:14:48.280
trysts? You know, so that's the first thing is the possible improper use of city resources and the
00:14:54.760
second thing is when you have a boss screwing an underling, is she really willing or is this some
00:15:02.600
sort of job advancement that he's gifting to her as some sort of sugar daddy, but not using his own
00:15:09.720
resources, but rather promises that she'll get ahead with the city.
00:15:15.480
Of course there's the fact that he's lying to his wife for 40 years and lying to his children and
00:15:20.120
lying to the world and living a lie just to indulge himself. But there's two things that came to my mind
00:15:26.760
and I'm going to ask Sue Ann Levy about these tonight when she's on my show.
00:15:38.920
Was he, did he have some remorse over what he did? Did he acknowledge that it was wrong?
00:15:44.280
No. He didn't come clean. The Toronto Star broke the story and they were calling him and his girlfriend
00:15:54.840
about it and he said, oh well, it's going to get worse. I may as well just announce it now. This,
00:16:00.680
this happened and he sought reelection even with this happening in the background.
00:16:05.880
He only had that press conference. He only admitted what he said there and
00:16:14.680
he only took responsibility after the Toronto Star outed him. He wasn't apologizing for his affair,
00:16:24.360
he was apologizing for getting caught. But where is she now, Emily Hillstrom? Where is she?
00:16:31.640
She is at MLSE, Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment. What's that? Well, they own the Argos and they own
00:16:41.720
the Raptors and they're owned by Rogers. And John Tory and his family, there, there are so,
00:16:51.080
in fact, John Tory gets paid a hundred grand a year by Rogers, if I'm not, by, by, by Rogers,
00:16:57.400
which owns Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment. Did, did he arrange to shut up or to move out
00:17:08.120
his adulterous girlfriend? Did he put her in MLSE as a way of saying, just shut up, we're going to take
00:17:16.440
care of you now. Uh, I'm going to pay you off with a fake job at MLSE just to keep you quiet. Why,
00:17:25.880
why would you move from City Hall over there other than the connection of John Tory himself,
00:17:30.760
who was connected to Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment and Rogers? I think there's a lot more questions to
00:17:37.320
ask. Was that a payoff? Were there other payoffs? Was it really a consensual relationship? Did it really
00:17:44.360
end happily on both sides? I don't believe it. But I do believe that John Tory is a big fat liar who
00:17:53.160
didn't mean a word he ever said, including about not gathering or visiting people outside your bubble.
00:17:58.360
Oh yeah, he had a bubble, didn't he? Anyway, I'm not going to talk more about him other than
00:18:02.840
it's a pleasure to see him gone. Super Chat from Annalisa1964, how you doing? He says,
00:18:09.240
great to see you Ezra. Since I like to torment Sheila, today is your day. Please give my sweet
00:18:14.120
menzie a big huggy-wuggy for me. Well, I just might, you know, it'll probably be a metaphorical
00:18:21.240
huggy-wuggy. Um, I, I, uh, I think it would be uncomfortable for both parties involved if I
00:18:26.360
actually gave him a huggy-wuggy, but thank you for that. Um, you know, we're going to take a short
00:18:31.400
commercial break. I keep forgetting about the short commercial breaks. I'm going to take a short
00:18:34.280
commercial break and I'm going to come right back and, uh, there's so much more to talk about.
00:18:46.440
I'm speaking to you at a moment of grave crisis. When violent and fanatical men are attempting to
00:18:53.800
destroy the unity and the freedom of Canada. After weeks of dangerous and unlawful activities,
00:19:00.600
after weeks of people being harassed in their neighborhoods and small businesses forced to
00:19:06.120
close. Because democracy flourishes in Canada. We don't always agree. And that's okay. Because
00:19:12.440
individual liberty is cherished in Canada. Our government will always defend freedom of expression
00:19:19.640
and freedom of peaceful assembly. It has now been demonstrated to us by a few misguided persons. After
00:19:25.880
evidence of increased ideologically motivated violent extremism activity across the country.
00:19:31.960
Just how fragile a democratic society can be. It became clear that local and provincial
00:19:39.000
authorities needed more tools to restore order and keep people safe. These are matters of the utmost
00:19:47.080
gravity. And I want to tell you what the government is doing to deal with them. The federal government
00:19:53.480
has invoked the emergencies act. The public's legitimate right to know why the government
00:20:05.480
proclaimed an emergency and whether the actions it took were appropriate.
00:20:11.080
It is our view that there was no justification whatsoever to invoke the emergencies act.
00:20:21.560
It's so tough to watch. There's no reason for that. They were literally running
00:20:24.600
the horses through the crowd. The police came straight to me and he targeted me and he took his gun
00:20:31.240
of tear gas and he actually shot me directly in my legs.
00:20:34.920
Was it worth invoking the emergencies act, ma'am, to trample on the rights and freedoms of Canadians?
00:20:41.320
Why do you think excessive honking means means that the government should strip citizens away from their rights?
00:20:49.480
Our next and final witness is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:21:05.400
Very exciting. Trudeau on trial. I love these documentaries that we're coming out with.
00:21:10.040
I think that one's actually having its premiere this week in Calgary. Very exciting about that.
00:21:15.160
Excited about that. Hopefully we'll get it in a few other cities too.
00:21:19.000
I'm really proud of the work our documentary team is doing. It's getting better all the time.
00:21:26.840
You know, I want to show you a few other videos on different subjects. It's 122,
00:21:30.680
so I think we've got some time to go through a few things. I want to go to a U.S. clip of their
00:21:39.160
press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. And it's a tough job being press secretary to the president
00:21:46.680
of the United States because there is no subject in the world about which he might not be asked.
00:21:54.040
He could be asked about literally anything in the world, from the Super Bowl to domestic politics to
00:22:02.520
party politics to, I mean, literally any one of 200 foreign countries. He could be asked something.
00:22:10.680
And the press secretary has to be ready to answer as well as possible and to go on the offensive
00:22:17.240
against his enemies. So I can't imagine a tougher job than being president himself. But you'd think
00:22:24.200
you would know a little bit about NORAD. Do you know what NORAD is? It stands for North American
00:22:28.440
Air Defense. It's the treaty between Canada and the United States that basically defends our
00:22:32.840
northern continent. And we talked about this the other day. After the Cold War, we set up the
00:22:38.680
distant early warning line, which was the dew line of radar in the north to catch glimpses of either
00:22:46.920
Russian bombers or Russian ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles, bringing war to our continent.
00:22:56.360
And it was a team effort between Canada and the United States. And the dew line was replaced with
00:23:01.080
the more modern northern warning line. And if there's, and I don't know how the cooperation
00:23:08.920
goes between Canada and the United States. Obviously, the United States does the heavy lifting
00:23:12.920
in defending the continent. But, you know, Canada has some respect, I imagine, because,
00:23:25.080
Would you know what NORAD is if you're the spokesman to the president? I would hope so.
00:23:29.720
Would you know how to say the country Canada? I would hope so. But that hope would be too much.
00:23:38.520
Listen to Karine Jean-Pierre just butcher both subjects in this super friendly interview by
00:23:44.280
the left wing MSNBC. This is embarrassing. Take a look.
00:23:47.960
Why is why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?
00:23:53.800
Because it's part of a NORAD. There is a, the NORAD is part of like a part of a, it's a, it's a,
00:24:00.120
what you call a coalition, a consortium. A pact, exactly. And so that's why we were able to do
00:24:05.400
that. Again, we didn't do it on our own. We did it in, in, in, clearly in, in, in step with
00:24:12.280
Why is Canada? Hey, let me, I'm coming to you live from Toronto, Canada. And I'm here to say
00:24:21.240
that the pact, the consortium, the coalition, yeah, I guess it's a coalition of two. I guess
00:24:27.720
it is a consortium of two. You know, I'll grant her that here in Toronto, Canada. It's a pleasure.
00:24:33.160
But so part of, so speaking as someone from Canada, it sounds like the jets that took down
00:24:44.840
the, these Chinese hot air balloons were F-22s, I understand, which is an American jet. Canada
00:24:51.880
doesn't have them. The other day, Trudeau tweeted that he's the one that gave the order for the F-22
00:25:02.200
to be taken down. Trudeau said, I ordered. Do you believe that?
00:25:09.880
Do you think Justin Trudeau is the one that made that order? Did he, what, get on the walkie-talkie
00:25:16.520
and say, Breaker 10-4, this is, uh, this is, uh, Justin Trudeau over to you, F-22 captain. Copy.
00:25:27.080
Uh, Breaker Breaker. F-22 over Canada. Waiting for your instructions, sir.
00:25:34.920
Okay, here it comes. I ordered the takedown of an unidentified object that violated Canadian
00:25:41.480
airspace. NORAD command shut, shut down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were
00:25:48.200
scrambled and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object. Now, I am sure there was some courtesy
00:25:58.440
communication between the United States and Canada. I'm sure there was. But do you really believe that
00:26:05.960
the decision here? I can't even say it with a straight face. Do you really think that it was
00:26:14.360
Justin Trudeau who put down the bong pipe, read the briefing notes, got up to speed, and gave the order?
00:26:24.280
Do you really think that's how it's happened? I, uh, I do not think that's how it happened, my friends. I
00:26:30.280
think that the order was given by the United States, not by Joe Biden either. He was probably sleeping.
00:26:37.480
Yeah, I, uh, I'm a bit of a skeptic. I think we have, uh, I think we have a video of that same
00:26:42.040
thing. Do we have a video? Here's Trudeau telling you just how much of a boss he is. Let's take a listen.
00:26:49.080
Yesterday, NORAD confirmed that an unidentified object entered unlawfully Canadian airspace.
00:26:59.800
It represented a reasonable threat to civilian aircraft, so I give the order to take it down.
00:27:09.560
Canadian and American fighter jets were scrambled, and an American F-22 successfully shot down the
00:27:16.360
object. Uh, recovery teams are on the ground, um, looking to, uh, find and analyze the object.
00:27:26.680
Yesterday afternoon, I also spoke with President Biden and confirmed, um, together that we will
00:27:33.640
continue to do everything necessary, uh, to protect the sovereignty of our air, of our shared North
00:27:39.000
American airspace, uh, but also to do everything necessary to keep our citizens safe.
00:27:47.880
I want to thank the members of the Canadian Armed Forces and all those who serve
00:27:52.120
in NORAD, uh, for doing everything necessary to keep us safe. Um, their service is extraordinarily
00:27:59.320
important to all of us. Well, it's a pleasant change to have the Canadian military, um, deployed
00:28:07.080
against a foreign adversary as opposed to the truckers, which is the main use that, uh,
00:28:11.720
the Liberals had for the meet last year, as we saw through their text messages that were released
00:28:17.080
through the Trucker Commission. Um, yeah, I don't know what to make of these balloons because I think
00:28:24.520
part of me says, well, there's so many Chinese satellites. I think China has 300 satellites, uh,
00:28:28.760
in the air, uh, a good portion of which are spy satellites. Now I understand from our friend,
00:28:35.320
uh, Gordon Chang, that, uh, a balloon is at a much lower altitude than a satellite and can spy in, in
00:28:42.920
interesting and novel ways. Okay, I believe that. But I think here in Canada, we're already deeply compromised.
00:28:49.320
You can spy on what our MPs are saying, but what if you actually install a spy in parliament itself?
00:29:01.160
So many news stories today. I don't know if you have, uh, the, the, um, morning note that Jason sends
00:29:07.320
out at 7 30 AM, Olivia, just half the stories in there are about Chinese intervention in our parliament,
00:29:16.200
Chinese intervention in our elections, China compromising MPs, uh, the police on several
00:29:22.200
occasions warning Trudeau about compromised politicians. Like if you literally are a, an MP
00:29:30.040
or a cabinet minister, federally, provincially, who is, yeah, look at this. CSIS warned Trudeau about
00:29:38.680
Toronto area politicians alleged ties to Chinese diplomats. That's in the Globe and Mail. And there's
00:29:44.680
so many stories like that today alone, aren't there? If you got one or two more, let's just show them.
00:29:50.600
So my point is, there's a politician that the CSIS is so worried about, they're telling Trudeau about,
00:29:57.560
here's another one. Oh yeah, we got that one already. Um, here's one from Blacklocks.
00:30:05.560
Uh, were the Chinese, uh, uh, federal election, no cop probe of vote claims. The RCMP yesterday said
00:30:18.520
it did not conduct any criminal investigation of alleged Chinese intelligence in the 2019
00:30:23.560
federal election. Members of the House Affairs Committee said the testimony was not reassuring
00:30:29.240
and repeated claims of illegality. I am very, very frustrated right now with the lack of information.
00:30:34.040
So there were MPs who were critical of communist China, who, according to reports, were targeted by
00:30:43.000
China in the election. And China managed to replace the skeptical pro-freedom MPs with pro-CCP MPs.
00:30:54.360
And the RCMP doesn't have a word to say. And I can understand why, because CSIS warns Trudeau about
00:31:00.360
it and he doesn't care. So my point to you is, all right, which is more dangerous? Having a hot air balloon
00:31:06.360
60,000 feet in the sky? Okay. Or having a bag of hot air literally inside parliament, in the Senate,
00:31:14.280
in the provincial parliament? I, um, I think having actual infiltration in our government is far more
00:31:22.520
dangerous. So that's Canada for you. Uh, you know what, there's an, an interesting moment in a
00:31:30.200
committee, and those are words that aren't often said together. The government, besides having
00:31:35.480
debates and question period and things like that, they have committees that examine matters and
00:31:40.680
sometimes call experts. And, um, most of the time the experts are practiced at what Orwell would call
00:31:47.640
duck speak, just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, saying very little, very long.
00:31:54.440
Uh, but the other day there was, uh, Canada's chief science advisor was called to testify
00:32:03.480
and asked about this crazy idea. You know, Trudeau wants to transition away from fossil fuels.
00:32:12.120
Uh, the world is not ready to transition away from them. Trudeau personally loves his private jet more
00:32:16.840
than just about anybody, but he wants to transition off fossil fuels. Apparently he wants to transition
00:32:22.040
off farming also. So between energy and food, I'm not sure how anybody's supposed to live, but don't
00:32:27.880
worry, Trudeau won't go hungry. But the, the chief science advisor was asked about a proposal that
00:32:36.200
they're following in the Netherlands and that Trudeau has expressed a support for here in Canada,
00:32:41.800
which is to require farmers to reduce the amount of fertilizer by 30%. Well, that's ridiculous.
00:32:49.000
You're going to reduce crops. You're going to reduce yield. You're going to reduce
00:32:53.320
food. You're going to make, you're going to reduce the supply. So, you know, supply and demand.
00:32:57.480
Why are you making food scarcer and more expensive? So look at this exchange between
00:33:05.400
conservative MPs, I believe, and Canada's chief science advisor on the question of,
00:33:15.800
what the consequences would be if this insane ideological rule were passed? Take a look at this.
00:33:21.080
Dr. Neymar, my questions are for you today. Your mandate includes, and I quote, advising on ways to
00:33:29.160
ensure that scientific knowledge is considered in public policy decisions and that the government
00:33:33.880
science is fully available to the public, end quote. Has the government asked you to produce any
00:33:39.000
scientific reports or advice on the impact that reducing fertilizer emissions by 30% would have on
00:33:44.120
Canada's food production? The short answer is no, not on that particular topic.
00:33:54.120
That's a good answer. Couldn't be clearer. And it stuns the MP. He wasn't ready for that.
00:34:00.840
The answer is no on this particular topic. Okay. Thank you. Have you personally seen any
00:34:06.280
scientific reports or studies to suggest that the government's 30% fertilizer emissions target can be
00:34:10.680
met without decreasing food production? Well, I can tell you that if we want to go seriously about
00:34:20.280
our targets, we're going to need to consider actions in many different sectors, including agriculture,
00:34:29.080
including transportation, including housing. But I think that in terms of the agriculture and agri-food,
00:34:36.120
there are huge opportunities for the country. I think that we need to change our behaviors in terms
00:34:44.360
of food waste wastage. But there are great areas of potential innovation in terms of agriculture, of
00:34:54.600
precision agriculture, that we can reap all the benefit of the genomic revolutions, of even traditional
00:35:02.600
knowledge that we talked about a lot. We know how we integrate it with other things and determine
00:35:08.200
how we can decrease a lot of the fertilizers that we're using, enhancing the soils in natural
00:35:17.000
manners. I think that science can support us in incredible ways in this. So you have not personally
00:35:23.880
seen any scientific reports or studies to suggest that the government's 30% fertilizer emissions target
00:35:28.840
can be met without decreasing fertilizer or food production. Correct? You haven't seen any science
00:35:34.120
on that. You have not seen any science on that. Well, I haven't seen any report on this.
00:35:42.120
You know what? That was an incredible exchange. Her first answer was the most honest. She said,
00:35:46.040
no, there's no studies. We haven't studied it. No studies on it. We're going to demand farmers use 30%
00:35:51.800
less fertilizer, but we don't know what that's going to do for the amount of food out there. Well,
00:35:55.960
well, what do you think? And then the MP asks a second time, and she goes on some long tangent about
00:36:02.520
we have to change your behavior. Okay. No, thank you. No one asked you to change my behavior.
00:36:10.600
Waste less food. Yeah. Okay. That's a good idea. I don't think that's a major problem.
00:36:16.360
And then she said, oh, and there may be some traditional knowledge about these things.
00:36:20.920
Okay. I thought you were a chief scientist, not sort of a folklore lady, but fair enough.
00:36:26.680
And then the MP asks the third time and gets the real answer again, which is no,
00:36:30.920
we don't know anything about this. This isn't science. This is politics, which we sort of do.
00:36:36.600
Well, it's 1.37. What a good time to take a short commercial break. We'll see you in just a moment.
00:36:43.880

00:37:36.280
On this website, you have so much different style to wear as this one, my favorite one, Justin Castro.
00:37:44.600
With my code ALEXA10, you will have 10% off on your next purchase. So don't hesitate, go now and look so good like me.
00:37:57.160
Well, I tell you, Alexa looks so chilly in that little video there, but it looked like she had some really fun gear on.
00:38:08.680
That Justin Castro shirt is by far our bestseller. If you don't have one, I really recommend it. People love it.
00:38:14.040
I give it as a gift all the time. It works in all languages. Last gift I sent, I sent it to a friend of mine in Quebec City.
00:38:21.560
He loved it. He immediately took a selfie of it and sent me this selfie.
00:38:26.280
If you can go to rebelnewsstore.com, there's actually two versions of our Castro shirt.
00:38:38.360
And you can see Castro is spelled E-A-U, so it's blending how Trudeau is spelled with Castro.
00:38:45.960
And on the right, Justin Castro. Both of them are equally funny. I'd have to check which one of these is the better seller because they, in a way, you want both of them because they're two versions of the same joke.
00:38:59.240
That is such a great shirt. I think I've given that as a gift to five people. It's such a good one. It's such a good, and you know what? Who was I talking to the other day?
00:39:10.120
I can't remember who was telling me that they were wearing that shirt out in public, and someone started hollering at them thinking they were for Trudeau because that was their first reaction.
00:39:25.160
And only a little bit later did they realize it was a joke mocking Trudeau, prickling at Trudeau.
00:39:34.360
So this person on the street went from outrage to see a Trudeau shirt to right on, where can I get one?
00:39:41.040
That's a fun experience to have on the street. You know what?
00:39:44.980
Yesterday I went for a walk, and I encountered three rebel fans along the way, and it really put a spring in my step.
00:39:51.620
It was fun to chat with people from all different walks of life. It was just really fun.
00:39:57.020
I was with a friend who got a chuckle out of it. If you wear the Justin Castro shirt, you will get that same reaction.
00:40:07.100
Now, you've got to be ready to meet strangers. If you are shy, do not wear the Justin Castro shirt because it is a conversation piece.
00:40:18.340
It is a conversation starter because it's funny, and look at that thing. Glance at it, and people are going to think, oh, you support Trudeau?
00:40:32.240
They're going to be mad for one second while their brain processes what they're looking at, and then they're going to get it.
00:40:43.120
They're going to sort of laugh again. They're going to be slightly embarrassed that they were mad a moment ago, and then, of course, they're going to want to talk to you about it.
00:40:54.300
So if you are an introvert that does not want to talk to people, do not wear this shirt outside the house.
00:40:59.280
You can wear it in the house. You can wear it to sleep in. Some people wear T-shirts to sleep.
00:41:02.180
I wear shirts like this when I work out at a very small gym, tiny gym. There's almost nobody there, and that's where I wear my shirts that have strong opinions on them.
00:41:15.800
Yeah, we've got some VHVs shirts. These are great shirts. We've got some trucker shirts.
00:41:21.360
I have a different shirt that's not a Rebel shirt that's a raccoon-eating garbage because that's sort of what Toronto's like under John Tory.
00:41:28.920
Now, I'm not blaming him for the raccoons. They were here first. Some shirts. You know what I wore this morning?
00:41:37.220
I wore it at the gym this morning. I wore my shirt that I got from the Rebel store that said, please don't eat me.
00:41:42.860
It was the Catherine McKennell shirt. So that's the kind of shirt I don't wear too widely because that one takes a lot of explaining,
00:41:52.640
and I'm just a little tired explaining it, to be honest. The moment on that shirt has passed, but I still have the shirt.
00:41:58.920
But that Justin Castro shirt, if you're up for it, if you want to make friends, if you want to have high fives,
00:42:06.020
if you want to get thumbs up, if you want someone even to honk-honk on their horn, if you're a pedestrian,
00:42:11.560
you get that Justin Castro shirt. That will happen to you, even in a liberal city like Toronto.
00:42:20.260
And if you wear that Justin Castro shirt in a place, like I sent it to my friend in Quebec City,
00:42:29.140
You wear that shirt in Alberta, the BC interior. You wear that shirt, well, a lot of places.
00:42:42.160
You are going to make friends who have something in common with you. And those are great friends.
00:42:51.320
Even if it's just like high five for a moment. All right. Don't mind me.
00:42:57.760
I just was impressed with the shirts that were going on there.
00:43:03.140
A couple of more super chats. Fraser McBurney says,
00:43:06.500
Let's have some fun this week. What is your guess? How many UFOs this week are shot down?
00:43:13.680
But, you know, UFOs makes me think of the word aliens, like from another planet.
00:43:18.020
But they're just, they're not aliens. They're just spy planes or something.
00:43:21.860
Yeah, I'd say there'd be a couple more this week. That's a good question.
00:43:27.200
Time says, Thank you, Ezra Reed, Tory, Vile. How deep does this go?
00:43:30.740
How many other politicians went partying and more during the pandemic, i.e. Boris Johnson?
00:43:37.640
I don't think there was a single politician that didn't cheat.
00:43:44.240
And the politicians on the inside knew they were just, they were making it up.
00:43:48.620
There were some people on the outside who, you know, ordinary people who were so trusting of government
00:43:54.060
and wanted to be part of a team spirit moment that they went along with it.
00:43:57.620
But I really felt early like the whole thing was a bit of a scam.
00:44:04.720
Speaking of scams, you know, have you heard about this 15-minute city business?
00:44:13.180
They have all these checkpoints where you've got to show your data, show your card,
00:44:22.820
Of course, in prison, they call that a cell block.
00:44:32.040
But free people are not supposed to live that way.
00:44:39.640
If we want to hang out in our neighborhood, we will.
00:44:41.740
If we want to go visit our friends in another neighborhood, we will.
00:44:44.400
If we want to, you know, it's a very Canadian-American way of thinking.
00:44:48.000
There are parts of the world that are not car first.
00:44:52.920
But America and Canada was quintessentially automobile.
00:45:00.600
It says, I can go when I want, where I want, how I want, and I don't have to answer to anybody.
00:45:09.840
There are some places that try and force you to do public transit, try and force you to do bicycles.
00:45:19.380
Actually, the one you have there was a good one.
00:45:22.860
They set up these bollards or big planters to block roads.
00:45:28.840
And, you know, how does that work when there's an ambulance that needs to get by?
00:45:32.720
You know, there's all sorts of great video out there you can find of people in the dead of night destroying those.
00:45:39.960
Like, basically, they're blocking off roads in cities.
00:45:44.560
I think, yeah, GB News, it was the fifth vid you had.
00:46:02.620
These deeply illiberal, un-British, 15-minute cities are beyond the pale.
00:46:09.960
They're hurting communities, hurting small businesses, and they've got to go.
00:46:16.020
And it didn't take me 15 minutes to work that out.
00:46:19.800
Mark Dolan on the dystopian plans for so-called 15 minutes.
00:46:23.640
He says, I don't want to play the whole thing, but why don't we play just two minutes of it?
00:46:36.620
Empty the washing machine and hang up your fresh laundry?
00:46:40.620
Read a couple of chapters of your favorite book?
00:46:43.440
Watch half an episode of How I Met Your Mother?
00:46:46.620
Well, creepy local authority bureaucrats would like to see your entire existence boiled down to the duration of a quarter of an hour,
00:46:55.300
with the arrival of so-called 15-minute cities.
00:47:00.020
This dystopian plan will see roads in some of Britain's most iconic towns and cities being blocked off,
00:47:07.480
with cars being restricted to certain areas, all overseen by number plate recognition cameras installed everywhere,
00:47:15.580
with a surveillance culture that would make Pyongyang envious.
00:47:19.700
In some places, your car would have an allowance to drive on certain streets for a fixed number of days in the year.
00:47:37.720
You can go by foot to grab a coffee, do your grocery shopping, have a pint.
00:47:42.980
And if you don't fancy walking, everything you need is just a five-minute bicycle ride away.
00:47:49.700
Fans of this scheme say it will deal with traffic and congestion and make life easier, more convenient and sustainable for locals.
00:47:59.100
Except that, as the MP Nick Fletcher, who's raised a question about this in Parliament, points out,
00:48:05.280
these low-traffic neighbourhoods are having an impact on small businesses,
00:48:10.120
given the lack of passing trade they now receive.
00:48:13.420
To the leader, please set aside some time in this house for a debate on the international socialist concept of so-called 15-minute cities and 20-minute neighbourhoods.
00:48:22.680
Ultra-low-emission zones in their present form do untold economic damage to any city.
00:48:29.140
However, the second step after these zones will take away personal freedoms as well.
00:48:34.200
Sheffield is already on this journey, and I do not want Doncaster, which is also a Labour-run socialist council, to do the same.
00:48:41.620
Low-emission zones cost a taxpayer money, simple as.
00:48:44.980
However, 15-minute cities will cost us our personal freedom, and that cannot be right.
00:48:52.240
Well, the minister who answered his question, Penny Mordaunt, did not disagree.
00:48:56.700
So, projects like ultra-low-emission zones in central London and other British cities is arguably impacting enterprise and is most certainly curtailing our way of life.
00:49:09.760
The Telegraph today report that a low-traffic neighbourhood scheme in Haringey in North London
00:49:15.260
has blocked off certain residential streets with cameras or planters to stop motor traffic using the neighbourhood as a through route.
00:49:24.840
The council defended its actions, saying it aims to make it safer and easier to walk, wheel, scoot, cycle and shop locally.
00:49:36.180
Six months on, however, and the paper reports that three-quarters of traders on one Haringey Street in particular
00:49:43.600
are thinking of leaving in the next 18 months, and three have already shut up shop.
00:49:49.840
One of them is My Little Home Emporium, a once-bustling vintage furniture shop that now stands shuttered and derelict,
00:49:58.940
with low-traffic neighbourhood planters blocking the road.
00:50:05.240
I tell you, I highly recommend GB News if you don't already watch it.
00:50:08.700
You can download the app here in North America.
00:50:11.520
Obviously, it's based in London, but I've been following it literally since its debut.
00:50:16.540
It was started by Andrew Neal, who is a very famous journalist and interviewer.
00:50:21.680
He left pretty soon after he launched it and, frankly, bad-mouthed it out the door.
00:50:36.740
Really, they introduced me to so many amazing Brits who care about freedom
00:50:48.400
It's – and it's done so well, like, in the ratings.
00:50:57.140
So, oh, by the way, my point is download their app,
00:51:00.000
and you can watch it anytime or just follow them on Twitter.
00:51:04.280
We don't have too much more time left, but there's some crazy news out there, isn't it?
00:51:10.720
But, you know, the New York Times had an op-ed the other day by a Yale professor.
00:51:23.520
You know, what is it with the left and suicide?
00:51:27.100
Like, why are they pro – well, the answer is because they're pro-death.
00:51:30.160
You know, on the one hand, you know, there are people who are called pro-life,
00:51:34.600
and they're generally against abortion, against euthanasia,
00:51:37.860
and they often are against the death penalty too, by the way.
00:51:47.260
But the left, the culture of death, pro-death, pro-euthanasia, pro –
00:51:57.780
In some cases, like Bill Gates, they just think there are too many people in the world.
00:52:01.320
Let me read to you the headline from the New York Times.
00:52:05.360
A Yale professor suggested mass suicide for old people in Japan.
00:52:13.440
Yusuke Narita says he is mainly addressing a growing effort
00:52:21.220
Still, he has pushed the country's hottest button.
00:52:25.180
And, of course, they're going to give him a glowing platform in the New York Times.
00:52:37.900
Had an op-ed in there talking about perhaps using the military
00:52:53.540
well, let's just kill our old folks because they're old.
00:53:12.900
I didn't know this, and I don't know if I believe this,
00:53:17.800
but I see that universities claim to be able to cancel –
00:53:25.140
perhaps one of the most prestigious papers in the world –
00:53:28.140
universities can cancel your degree for wrong think,
00:53:33.540
The government's free speech reforms may let students sue,
00:53:37.640
but they will be no use to those who don't have the money to do so.
00:53:41.500
You know, this kind of after-the-fact unpersoning of people is really gross.
00:54:01.300
Here, let me read a few lines from this story in the Telegraph.
00:54:08.600
You've done everything you're meant to – studied, researched, and completed dissertation.
00:54:14.560
but in the final months, a fresh batch of complaints about your conduct services,
00:54:22.640
What, you might wonder, could this student possibly have done to deserve such a crushing punishment?
00:54:31.900
In fact, to read through the investigatory evidence on this real case, as I have done,
00:54:36.180
is to delve into a litany of pettiness that almost defies belief.
00:54:42.620
but the person is reluctant to have their name associated with the penalty they are powerless to overturn,
00:54:49.680
Anyhow, you can imagine the political correctness.
00:54:51.980
Now, that's someone still in school, but what if you're done school?
00:54:56.660
I would imagine that these universities need to be sued.
00:55:01.580
I think that the universities, and Jordan Peterson says this a lot, they really are a scam.
00:55:09.800
When Jordan Peterson spoke at a Democracy Fund event in December,
00:55:13.840
he said that one of the real purposes of a university,
00:55:20.320
and I don't think it's a joke, is to find a spouse.
00:55:24.460
Well, because you're going to be, they're vetting people from the right background,
00:55:28.400
and are they smart enough, and are they wealthy enough,
00:55:30.640
and do they have the same sort of station in life?
00:55:35.960
And if you spend $150,000 in tuition or whatever,
00:55:42.760
but find a wife or a husband, said Jordan Peterson,
00:55:50.020
but if that's what they're delivering, that's not a bad thing to deliver.
00:55:52.400
He said, obviously, the main thing they deliver is a credential.
00:55:59.440
You're not some grubby, unwashed, blue-collar person.
00:56:06.880
You have the same, you listen to the same music.
00:56:17.460
Really, it's that credentialism that the universities are selling.
00:56:23.480
And you could say, in a way, that getting married is the ultimate credential.
00:56:30.540
You're being vetted just like an employer would vet you.
00:56:34.800
So, yeah, I think that the value of university, I mean, this engineering is still a profession and a kind of trade.
00:56:44.420
You know, there are real things to learn and not just to expand your mind.
00:56:48.140
But so much of university these days is just daycare for grownups.
00:56:54.060
Well, it's almost the top of the hour, and I've got to go.
00:56:56.540
I've got to do other things here at Rebel News.
00:56:59.580
Thanks to Olivia in the control room for furnishing the videos and the stories as I read them.
00:57:06.780
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, goodbye.
00:57:16.440
Some would say that there is no greater example of the weakness of our Air Force capacity than watching American jets destroying flying objects over Canadian soil.
00:57:26.580
Why was it American jets that shut down the object?
00:57:29.400
NORAD is a joint command, which means we do things together over North America.
00:57:37.560
And there were Canadian and American fighter jets scrambled to intercept the object and to take it down.
00:57:46.320
It was very much based on the context and the situations of who was there, who had the capacity to do it before we lost the object into darkness or into situations.
00:57:57.020
Our focus was not on which side gets credit for what.
00:58:03.120
Our focus was on running the operation smoothly and successfully.
00:58:08.920
And that's a perfect example of how seamlessly we work together.
