Oh, hi, everybody. Ezra Levant here. Great to be here with you. I am sitting in a chair
00:00:19.640
at our world headquarters somewhere in a mysterious location in the greater Toronto area. There's
00:00:27.500
so much going on and I'm having so much fun watching it. Justin Trudeau is a bit of a sociopath. He is a
00:00:36.160
master gaslighter. Do you know where that term comes from? It's a strange term. He gaslighted me.
00:00:43.520
Don't gaslight me. What's a gaslight? Well, back in the olden days, before electricity,
00:00:50.260
a lot of gas, a lot of lights were gas, natural gas, and you would light the gas. I don't know
00:00:58.380
if it was natural gas or if it was propane or something, but it was gas. And so you could
00:01:05.620
turn the gas up or down and the light would get brighter or dimmer. It's just how it was. It
00:01:12.100
would be like an electrical light today, which has a dimmer switch, you know, those little
00:01:16.180
curvy things. And so this movie, I think the movie was called Gaslight. Is that what the
00:01:20.580
movie was called? It was sort of a psychological thriller. I think it might have been a murder
00:01:27.500
mission. I haven't watched the movie, but I've watched clips of it. And, you know, some
00:01:32.760
old stars were in it. I think Angela Lansbury was in it. I'm seeing on your screen here Ingrid
00:01:37.540
Bergman. So it was a famous, yeah, go ahead and put that, 1944 movie. So, you know, that's
00:01:44.420
an old movie now. That's almost 80 years old. What did, what did Ingrid Bergman and Angela
00:01:48.860
Lansbury look like when they were young? 1944. I didn't even know they were acting back then.
00:01:55.560
Anyways, so it was a fair sized movie. And the shtick was, if I recall, that the man was trying
00:02:06.860
to get the woman to lose her mind. And so the gas went up and down, the gas lights went up
00:02:13.820
and down. And she said, the lights are getting brighter and darker. And he said, no, what are
00:02:18.200
you talking about? That didn't happen. So the idea would be to get her to deny the physical
00:02:24.420
reality that she saw and plant in her mind that she was mad. A form of psychological abuse.
00:02:35.220
Yeah, here's, here's some, uh, is that Merriam-Webster? Let's read their dictionary
00:02:39.460
definition. Psychological manipulation of a person, usually over an extended period of time,
00:02:45.420
that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception or reality or
00:02:49.660
memories, and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's
00:02:54.420
emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator. Um, and they have some examples
00:03:00.120
there. Can you get the movie poster? I just want to show that the word gaslighting comes from
00:03:05.920
that they, that the guy was playing around with the gas lights. That's all, that's all it is.
00:03:12.060
Um, and I learned a phrase. So maybe you, maybe you used the, you knew that. Yeah. Yeah. Throw that on
00:03:17.160
the screen there. Ingrid Bergman. I don't know the other actors there. Gaslight. So it was sort of a
00:03:24.840
famous, but I think the, the movie is less famous than the term. And there's a related concept. Can you
00:03:32.120
Google Darvo? D-A-R-V-O. And I only learned this word Darvo in the last few weeks. I learned it from
00:03:38.940
James Lindsay, the critic of cultural Marxism. And he points out it's a tactic used by the left
00:03:45.380
all the time. Yeah. Even that, that what you got on the screen there is fine. Darvo is an acronym for
00:03:51.880
deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender. It's a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing,
00:03:58.780
such as sexual offenders may display in response being held accountable, accountable for their
00:04:02.640
behavior. Some researchers indicate that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological
00:04:07.300
abuse, abusers. So if someone accuses you of something, deny, attack, and reverse victim and
00:04:15.700
offender. Is that not Justin Trudeau? Have I not just told you about Justin Trudeau? He's a gaslighter.
00:04:22.820
He does Darvo. He's the one who sexually assaulted Rose Knight in Creston, British Columbia, but he
00:04:30.760
calls you a misogynist. Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. He's the one who dressed up
00:04:37.320
in blackface so many times he can't recall, but he calls you a racist. Deny, attack, reverse victim
00:04:44.780
offender. And he's the one who wants to censor the internet in Canada more than anything has ever
00:04:53.560
been censored in the free world. Censoring the internet so hard it's tantamount to what North Korea,
00:04:58.300
Iran, and China do. And yet the chutzpah today, the chutzpah, when he said, he implied that not him,
00:05:10.140
no, no, not him, who has four bills introduced or pending to censor the internet. Not him. He would
00:05:16.880
never, not in a million years, censor independent journalists. Why that? That is being done, don't you
00:05:23.520
know, by the evil leader of the Conservative Party, Pierre Polyev. Do you have the clip? I think it's
00:05:29.100
clip number two on your list there. Trudeau calling out Polyev for attacking the CBC. Get a load of it. I
00:05:38.760
mean, you want to see gaslighting? You want to see Darvo? Check out this sociopath. Take a listen.
00:05:45.900
I think it says a lot about the Conservative Party of Canada. That they're choosing to constantly attack
00:05:53.540
independent media organizations, journalists who are working hard to keep Canadians informed and
00:06:01.780
support our democracies. CBC Radio-Canada serves right across the country, delivers local news and
00:06:13.800
local content in many regions of the country that, yes, has been challenged over the past years. But the
00:06:22.100
idea of adding to that challenge is, and laying on, by attacking this Canadian institution, attacking
00:06:32.040
the culture and local content that is so important to so many Canadians, really indicates the values
00:06:40.820
and the approach that Mr. Polyev is putting forward. And I think it is telling that in order to attack
00:06:48.960
this institution, this institution that is important for many, many Canadians, he runs to American
00:06:56.240
billionaires, the tech giants that they continue to defend in committee and in their approach on our
00:07:05.580
legislation to make tech giants pay their fair share. Conservatives are always there to defend them.
00:07:10.240
So when they're trying to attack a foundational Canadian institution, the fact that he has to run to
00:07:16.240
American billionaires for support to attack Canadians, says a lot about Mr. Polyev and his values.
00:07:26.800
Gaslight much? Darvo, deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. That's the guy who introduced Bill C-11,
00:07:34.160
which would give the government control over the internet by making, by calling it a broadcaster
00:07:39.440
under the Broadcasting Act. That's the guy who, in Bill C-18, would commandeer Facebook, Google,
00:07:46.480
YouTube, and force them to pay money to journalists, but only his friends, only journalists that get the
00:07:53.520
Trudeau journalism license, called the QCJO license, Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization license.
00:08:00.320
That's the prime minister who, in his Bill C-36, would have tens of thousands of dollars of fines for
00:08:08.000
hurt feelings on the internet. You would be liable for anything you ever wrote on the internet,
00:08:13.360
even going back years or decades. Literally, when you were a teenager, if you still had that account,
00:08:18.720
you would be liable for it. Oh, and complaints and witnesses would both be secret. I'm not kidding.
00:08:24.080
It's called Bill C-36. And a bill that was not introduced yet, but it was published in a
00:08:30.720
background or form by the government called the Online Harms Act. They would set up something
00:08:36.240
called the Digital Safety Commissioner. Oh my God, that's what they, that's what it's called in North
00:08:41.200
Korea. And that person would have the power to literally shut down any website he wants.
00:08:46.960
And that's the guy accusing others of not standing up for independent media. Here's the guy who,
00:08:56.320
who it's come to light, cashed a check for $200,000 from a Chinese billionaire. The money actually came
00:09:03.200
from the government of China. He literally sent his brother Alexander to pick up the check from the
00:09:10.240
Chinese Communist Party billionaire. And he's accusing Pierre Pauliev of being in the pocket of foreign
00:09:15.680
billionaires. Like I say, it's Darbo, deny, attack, reverse victim and offender. He is the master
00:09:22.480
gaslighter. I'm going to have more to say about this on my show tonight at 8 PM Eastern. It's called
00:09:27.920
The Ezra Levant Show. It's behind a paywall. I'm going to show you a bunch of clips and, uh,
00:09:32.160
and take you through. Holy mackerel. But the reason they're all in a kerfuffle, the reason why Trudeau is
00:09:38.240
very upset is because Elon Musk put a little label on twitter.com slash CBC. Um, and, and the whole
00:09:48.240
media is up and on. So yeah, this is a great story. So yeah, show the star Toronto star version here.
00:09:52.800
Twitter labels CBC account as government funded media. Now, how is that news? The move comes just
00:09:59.840
days after conservative leader Pierre Pauliev posted a letter to the social media platform asking for this
00:10:10.160
to be added. Um, but it is, is it not true? Is the CBC not government funded? Of course it is
00:10:21.120
government funded. In fact, if you go, can you do this too? From colon CBC. Do you know how to do that?
00:10:26.240
Go into the search bar there. Um, I don't know if you have to like a go in it. Yeah. And then once
00:10:32.960
you're in Twitter, exactly from colon CBC, and then type in the word space government funded.
00:10:42.320
Exactly. Thank you. That's very quick typing. Yeah, that's a look at that. So what that kind of
00:10:46.880
Boolean search does is it shows anytime the words government funded were used by this account. So you
00:10:52.080
can see the very first one. This is a response by CBC to some guy named Michael. Hi, Michael.
00:10:59.920
We are government funded, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, yeah, of course you are. I mean,
00:11:06.560
you'd have to be pretty stupid not to know that. So why the kerfuffle? Why the fuss? Why the news?
00:11:15.280
Why the apoplexy? Like my only criticism of this, by the way, is that CBC has many Twitter accounts,
00:11:23.200
of course. Uh, that CBC account that was tagged actually isn't their main news channel. Uh, CBC
00:11:30.560
news or CBC news alerts is their big channel that has all the followers. And, um, it's not yet labeled,
00:11:38.960
but this has Justin Trudeau very upset. Um, because he doesn't like Twitter that is not compliant. He
00:11:47.120
likes to be the one bossing around Twitter. He doesn't like Twitter. Twitter's not even doing
00:11:52.480
anything mean. It's just saying your government fund. We're just going to put that on your site.
00:11:56.640
So people know it's transparency, just the same way we do with, um, I haven't been to Al Jazeera's
00:12:03.120
Twitter feed in a long time, but I'm sure if you go to Twitter and Al Jazeera, I know if you go to RT,
00:12:07.520
that's the Russian. Yeah. Yeah. Click on any of those Al Jazeera ones there. Just show,
00:12:12.160
or yeah, just any of these. Um, yeah, that's fine. Yeah. Show that one there.
00:12:19.120
So RT stands for Russia today. It's Putin state broadcaster. And you can see under the word RT
00:12:24.960
America, it says Russia state affiliated media, which it absolutely is. And, uh, I mean, I know that
00:12:32.880
because I know what RT is, but if you didn't know what RT is, it's probably useful to you to
00:12:37.440
know. It's like a product warning label. It's like a product label. Um, you know,
00:12:42.880
I don't think you want to have too much product labeling on the internet.
00:12:47.600
Yeah. Click, click on that Al Jazeera. There it is. Government funded media. I don't know what
00:12:53.280
the difference between government funded and state affiliated is. I, there may be some oblique
00:12:58.080
or, or, or sort of, um, some subtle differences. I mean, um, but it's a good,
00:13:03.280
it's a good heads up. And why should the CBC not have that appellation? Trudeau said that they are
00:13:09.280
independent media, but they are absolutely not independent media. In fact, their broadcasting
00:13:14.160
mandate is set out in a law issued by parliament. They are the least independent media in the country
00:13:22.000
because they absolutely must do what the prime minister says. The prime minister appoints their entire
00:13:26.320
board of directors. Yeah. Click on that tweet by Avi. Avi's showing, um, that this didn't just happen
00:13:32.160
to the CBC. This happened to state affiliated broadcasters around the world. RNZ, which is
00:13:38.480
obviously in New Zealand, ABC news. That's not the American. That's the Australian Broadcasting
00:13:43.360
Corporation. That's the Aussie state broadcaster. So yeah. Can someone please tell me what the problem
00:13:50.480
is here? There is no problem unless you want to somehow hide or obscure the hidden hand behind
00:13:56.000
those TV stations. Um, I tell you the chutzpah of Justin Trudeau saying he stands for independent
00:14:05.280
media when he personally fought to keep Rebel News out of covering the election debates in 2021 and 2019.
00:14:12.960
We fought back in court and we won two times. They'll probably try and ban us again next time,
00:14:16.960
but we'll win again. Um, I think one of the most interesting things to have happened or be revealed
00:14:28.480
recently is that there was an op-ed, you know, our friend Lauren Gunter, he comes on the show at least
00:14:34.800
once a month. Good guy, great guy. You know, he writes, I don't think he does news reporting. He might
00:14:42.720
write the odd news story, but I don't think so. Uh, he's really a columnist, right? And he's published
00:14:47.600
on the comment pages, which speaks for, yeah, that, yeah, show his first one there. Um, so you know,
00:14:55.520
you don't have to, you don't have to agree with what he says. You know, you don't have to agree with
00:14:58.960
what he says. He, uh, like that's the whole point of a comment section is to
00:15:03.520
uh, get your noggin jogging to get you revved up either to agree or disagree.
00:15:14.080
So Lauren Gunter wrote an op-ed a little while back. You don't have to agree with it. It's a
00:15:19.680
pain. It's marked opinion. Like you, you see here on this page, it says columnist, scroll up to the
00:15:26.160
tippy top. Is there anything else? If you go up, up, up, even higher. No. Okay. That's the top of it.
00:15:32.640
Well, that's under opinion. Like click opinion there. You see, it says news, opinion, sports.
00:15:38.080
This would be under opinion, right? I think so.
00:15:45.360
Scroll down a little bit more. Click on more opinion stories.
00:15:54.000
I'm pretty sure it's on this page. Well, I know for a fact that that's what Lauren Gunter does. I'm
00:15:58.160
just trying to show you that on the page, um, you, you couldn't not know.
00:16:04.480
So the government reaches out to the sun to try and get them to kill Lauren Gunter's column because
00:16:09.440
they disagree with it. They disagree with it. So they try and kill it.
00:16:14.160
It doesn't work. The sun stands by Lauren Gunter. So what does Trudeau's government do? They say,
00:16:23.360
okay, well, there's a certain amount of traffic that goes direct to the Edmonton Sun website.
00:16:29.280
But a lot of it comes from social media, from Twitter, from Facebook, especially.
00:16:35.840
So Trudeau's staff reached out to the social media companies and tried to get them to block it.
00:16:41.280
So first they tried to get the Edmonton Sun to take it down. They refused.
00:16:47.200
And then they, then they went to the social media companies and they refused.
00:16:53.120
And that's what they were doing before they had Bill C-11, C-18, C-36, and the Online Harms Act.
00:16:59.120
Imagine what they do if they actually get those powers. And there's a, there's an MP,
00:17:05.120
I think she's from Lethbridge, Rachel Thomas. She used to be called Rachel Harder,
00:17:08.800
but I think Rachel Thomas is her married name. And she has written a letter,
00:17:15.520
I think it's to the Speaker of the House. Let's, can we find that letter from Rachel Thomas?
00:17:21.920
Yeah, pump it up. I'm going to try and read that. And yeah, I've decided to finally get stronger
00:17:29.760
glasses. I don't know why I was avoiding that. I sometimes squint to see things. Yeah,
00:17:34.400
there you go. That's nice and big. Thank you for making it so big. So this was sent just yesterday
00:17:42.000
to the Speaker of the House. Dear Mr. Speaker, I am writing to give you notice
00:17:46.320
that I will rise in the House Monday afternoon, that's today, to request an emergency debate
00:17:56.480
presented social, pressure, excuse me, thank you. Boy, I need stronger glasses. I'm getting stronger
00:18:05.040
glasses. Has pressured social media platforms to edit or remove content if considered embarrassing.
00:18:10.720
These attempts at what can fairly be described as government censorship of the news and more
00:18:15.120
generally, the internet came to public attention through a response to my colleague, Dean Allison's
00:18:19.360
order paper question number 1219, which was tabled just before the Easter egg German.
00:18:23.120
One of the several examples that have come to light was a 2021 Toronto Sun article written by
00:18:27.760
Lauren Gunter about pending Immigration and Refugee Board policy changes. In a column last week,
00:18:31.760
Mr. Gunter noted that IRB officials had first asked his editors to pull his article. And when that failed,
00:18:38.640
we now know they asked social media platforms to take it down and prevent any linking to it. That's insane.
00:18:47.120
The government's requests were denied, thankfully. As Mr. Gunter observed about his own experience,
00:18:51.520
the government, quote, still tried to have it banned as misinformation because it was
00:18:56.000
embarrassing to them. It revealed a policy change they didn't want revealed, which is precisely why
00:19:00.240
it had to be revealed and why the social media platform should have banned it. I couldn't agree
00:19:04.720
more. So this is the MP speaking. However, such outcomes cannot be relied upon for much longer,
00:19:10.560
given the various bills the government has brought before parliament to regulate internet content,
00:19:14.240
such as Bill C-11 and Bill C-18 if adopted, et cetera, et cetera. And then skip to the last page.
00:19:23.360
Yeah, thanks. So I mean, she's calling for an emergency debate. I am quite sure it will fail
00:19:27.600
because not only do the Liberals love censorship, but their junior partner in this government,
00:19:32.000
the NDP, love censorship even more, which is terrifying. And the Bloc Hippacoa loves censorship
00:19:36.480
even more. And the Green Party likes censorship even more. So the only party that's not for censorship
00:19:40.880
is the Conservative Party. So I'll just skip to the last paragraph.
00:19:50.480
I acknowledge that the chair normally affords a wide latitude for contributions during the
00:19:53.840
budget debate and therefore might not normally be inclined to grant an emergency debate at this
00:19:58.160
time. However, I urge you to recognize that these issues touch upon one of our fundamental freedoms,
00:20:02.080
freedom of speech. I appreciate your diligent review. My application will afford to your favorable
00:20:05.920
ruling yours respectfully, Rachel Thomas MP, official opposition shadow minister for Canadian
00:20:11.520
heritage. I believe she's also the MP for Lethbridge. So yeah, I think that's a good letter. I do not
00:20:17.840
think that she will get that emergency debate. I think that the other parties don't want it. And
00:20:25.920
sounds like there's other things on the agenda.
00:20:29.520
But I like the fact she's taking it seriously. And that is an insane story. That's just an insane story.
00:20:36.960
And imagine the chutzpah of a government that just did that censorship, standing up and accusing
00:20:44.320
the conservatives of being censors and being against independent media. That's gaslighting.
00:20:49.600
Darvo. Deny attack, reverse victim and defender. Now, I should tell you, I was a minute late for
00:20:59.680
today's live stream or two minutes late. And the reason was, I was replying to an email from the
00:21:06.000
Toronto Star. And I don't get a lot of emails from the Toronto Star. But and I'm not going to embarrass
00:21:12.960
the guy who wrote it to me. But here's, here's what he said. I mean, he'll probably write a story
00:21:17.440
about it so you don't know who wrote it. He said, Mr. Levant. That's me. Hi, Mr. Levant.
00:21:22.880
I'll just say Alan Woods. Doesn't say anything embarrassing other than he's for this.
00:21:27.120
Alan Woods here from the Toronto Star newspaper. I'm writing up a little thing on Tucker Carlson's
00:21:30.400
new yet to be released documentary on Canada. We'll show that trailer to you in a minute.
00:21:35.200
Trudeau and apparently the COVID-19 restrictions. I've only seen the trailer, of course, but appears
00:21:39.600
that the bulk of the footage he's used comes from Rebel News material. Also noted that Rebel
00:21:43.680
contributors David Menzies and Alexandra Lavoie make appearances. Are there others that I'm
00:21:47.680
perhaps missing? What I wanted to ask is whether it's some sense it's a co-production. If Rebel
00:21:52.720
News has some official involvement in the project, or if you guys simply open the archives to Carlson's
00:22:10.240
Just so you can put it on the show, there's nothing confidential here.
00:22:14.880
I would say this in public. In fact, I am saying it in public. I just click send. Hopefully you'll get
00:22:20.720
that soon. And by the way, I'm glad he wrote to me. You know, the alternative is not to write to
00:22:29.760
me and to write a story without seeking my input. And that's not a good idea. Part of journalism is
00:22:33.440
reaching out to people you're writing about. So feel free to pump that up as big as possible.
00:22:38.640
I'll read from my own screen here. That's why I'm late. You can see the timestamp on this. I sent this
00:22:43.040
actually after the show. So this is why I'm late. So I said, hi, Alan. Thanks for reaching out.
00:22:51.040
And I mean that. Yeah, go ahead and pump that up as big as you can.
00:23:05.280
Thank you very much, Olivia. I'm throwing this at you in real time. We didn't even,
00:23:09.840
I didn't even tell you I was going to do this, but it's on my mind. You know what? We'll
00:23:12.800
we'll show you that. Why don't we, why don't we take a second and show the trailer?
00:23:16.400
Because this trailer was released yesterday, I think. And it's, um, it's just a two minute
00:23:21.920
trailer about Tucker Carlson's upcoming documentary on Canada. I got a real kick out of it. Here,
00:23:26.080
take a look. Welcome back from the Fox studio lot in Los Angeles. We're happy to be here for more than
00:23:35.840
a hundred years. The United States has, as a matter of official policy, opposed dictatorships
00:23:41.280
around the world. But what if tyranny arrived right next door? What would that look like?
00:23:47.200
And what would our government do in response? Would we liberate the people living under authoritarian
00:23:52.560
rule as we have around the world? That is the topic of our upcoming Tucker Carlson originals
00:23:57.440
documentary, Oh Canada. Here's a first look at what we found.
00:24:03.360
The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it.
00:24:08.880
Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries.
00:24:15.360
Fortunately for the oppressed, America's influence is considerable.
00:24:32.880
The police then, then moved in and arrested me.
00:24:58.400
The greatest danger of all would be to do nothing.
00:25:17.680
I don't think that Tucker Carlson would literally support
00:25:29.920
I do not think that anyone in America would do that.
00:25:39.120
we liberated people from other countries in wars of foreign adventure.
00:25:43.600
When they become tyrannies, why wouldn't we do the same around here?
00:25:48.720
It's a talking point. It's a conversation starter.
00:25:57.760
I get a kick out of it because I see the humor and I see the juxtaposition.
00:26:02.640
And by the way, I think that Trudeau's invocation of of martial law
00:26:22.960
It's just I can't believe how many mainstream media journalists are suddenly gone nuts.
00:26:37.360
The point is Canada is becoming more of a tyranny.
00:26:59.200
Several of our journalists were interviewed to tell their stories about police brutality.
00:27:06.880
You know, that's what happened to both Alexa and David.
00:27:09.760
In terms of the footage, we routinely allow other media, including the CBC, to use our footage on
00:27:21.600
I haven't seen this documentary yet, but I presume it falls under fair use, fair dealing.
00:27:24.960
That's a copyright term, which means if you have a short clip and if you label where it's from,
00:27:30.880
I'm glad you're interested in what Tucker Carlson is doing, but I wish you were interested in the
00:27:42.000
Precisely one person was shot during the entire trucker convoy.
00:27:44.800
And it just happened to be our reporter, Alexa Lavoie, shot by Trudeau's riot police.
00:27:54.480
By the way, the RCMP's own internal affairs office has been investigating the officer involved for
00:28:00.240
Would it be different if a left-wing reporter had been shot?
00:28:05.840
Same thing with the assault against David Menzies by Trudeau's personal bodyguards.
00:28:08.960
They beat him up badly, dumped him on the sidewalk, but didn't charge him with anything.
00:28:14.320
Would your answer be different if it had been Stephen Harper's bodyguards or Doug Ford's bodyguards,
00:28:21.360
You seem to care more about showbiz gossip than about two journalists being violently
00:28:29.600
I hereby give the Star permission to use our footage, too, to show Trudeau's police brutality
00:28:42.720
Ezra, I was on a leave of absence from the Star and out of the country during the events in question,
00:28:46.800
so I can't speak to your questions regarding how or why certain things were or were not covered by the Star.
00:28:53.120
I do appreciate your prompt reply to my inquiry.
00:28:58.800
That is a good answer for him himself, but just because someone was shot when you're on vacation
00:29:06.720
doesn't mean you can't write about it when you're back.
00:29:08.560
I don't think any other media, with the exception of our fellow independent online sister organizations,
00:29:17.760
I think True North and Western Standard covered it, I don't think anyone has covered that.
00:29:26.640
You know what really makes, you know what, actually, can you find it?
00:29:31.040
I tweeted it, it's Jackson Proskow or something is his name.
00:29:48.720
If you go to jproskowglobal, here I'll, that's jproskowglobal, it's a Twitter account.
00:29:57.280
I can, I can send you the link if that's faster.
00:30:10.240
So, all of a sudden, the media, here I'll put it in Slack, all of a sudden the media
00:30:18.160
is really excited because Tucker Carlson is hinting that we should be.
00:30:27.280
You know that's a joke, right? You know he's playing with you. It's like when
00:30:30.960
he mispronounced Ottawa. There was a few years ago, he said Otawa, which by the way might actually be the
00:30:38.720
proper Aboriginal way to say the name, I don't know. He said that, you know that was a joke,
00:30:44.080
right? You know he knows how to say Ottawa. Every person who finishes high school in America
00:30:51.040
probably knows that the capital of Canada is Ottawa. Or maybe, actually come to think of it,
00:30:56.720
these days they probably don't know that. But there's no journalist in America who doesn't
00:31:02.000
know that the capital is Ottawa. It's not perhaps Ottawa. But he said it that way because he knew
00:31:08.240
it would get the usual suspects up in arms. So I just read to you the letter to me by Alan Woods in
00:31:13.680
my reply from the Toronto Star. But here's Jackson Proskow from Global. Let's take a look.
00:31:18.800
Tucker Carlson is about to release a new short film called Oh Canada. The trailer implies that the
00:31:25.440
U.S. needs to liberate Canada from tyranny like Iraq or Libya. Well, you know, I'd appreciate that.
00:31:33.200
I would have appreciated the help when the country was under martial law, bank accounts being seized,
00:31:36.960
peaceful protesters being thrown in prison for 50 years. Now scroll down because he had he had
00:31:40.880
another comment or two underneath. Tucker's previous original film took a deep dive into testicle tanning.
00:31:48.640
So take that for what it's worth. And then the usual suspects are just all chiming in Jesus,
00:31:54.000
says Stephen Carter, the Calgary liberal. And, you know, there's some people who are pushing back at him.
00:32:01.280
Um, it's not that, but no, can you click on quotes? You know how to under his original one,
00:32:08.560
click on quote tweet quotes. Yeah. And maybe that's a good way to find mine. Just scroll down a bit.
00:32:20.800
It just might be the faster way to find my reply. Um, yeah, they're right there. I said
00:32:25.600
in this movie trailer, a U S broadcaster interviews our reporters who were assaulted by Trudeau's police.
00:32:35.840
Alexa Lavoie was shot in the leg by the RCMP and David Menzies was beat up by Trudeau's personal
00:32:40.640
bodyguards. You can see it on video. Why didn't global report that news?
00:32:46.880
Jackson Proskow is all a Twitter and a titter about what he must believe is a looming invasion.
00:32:56.320
Because of course, Joe Biden and the U S military does whatever a Fox news, uh, host implies like
00:33:03.360
this, this Jackson Proskow and does Alan Woods actually think that's going to happen.
00:33:08.240
Um, so they're interested in the showbiz gossip because they love and hate Tucker Carlson at the
00:33:15.520
same time. They hate him and they'll only admit that they hate him, but they love him because
00:33:19.680
Tucker Carlson equals eyeballs. Tucker Carlson equals web traffic. And, and really, Alan Woods,
00:33:26.400
I barely recognize the name, Jackson Proskow, they barely recognize the name. They're not household
00:33:31.040
figures. But if you can engage with Tucker Carlson, you're going to get some of that heat
00:33:36.240
because he's the biggest guy and talk shows talk, biggest cable news host in America.
00:33:43.360
And, oh, he's saying they should invade Canada. Ooh. Um, I don't think America could invade Canada
00:33:49.920
right now. All the American military might is over in Ukraine. Then again, so is Canada. So I think it
00:33:57.600
would be like a fist fight. Um, think about that for a second. I don't know how much
00:34:06.160
tens of thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of people were involved in the trucker convoy in
00:34:10.640
total. Do you know? I don't think anyone knows. There were thousands on the highway. There were
00:34:17.440
thousands, probably tens or hundreds of thousands along the way. Only one person was shot. There was
00:34:24.400
a blockade in Coots, Alberta. There was a blockade on the ambassador bridge between Detroit and Windsor.
00:34:28.880
There was a blockade in Ottawa. There were slow rolling mobile blockades in lower mainland of BC.
00:34:35.840
There were echo sympathy convoys in many other places. I remember there was one weekend. I remember
00:34:44.560
we had 17 rebel news journalists in the field, 17 covering different aspects of that. That's how big it
00:34:51.200
was. And yet only one person was shot. And what are the odds that the one person who was shot was our
00:34:59.200
reporter and the one person who did the shooting was not a trucker, but was a Trudeau RCMP? What are
00:35:05.760
the odds? Is that Stan with Alexa you got there? Yeah, let's show people and show people what we're
00:35:10.480
talking about. Take a look at this awful, awful, awful. This, I hate this. Put the audio on.
00:35:28.480
Take care. Bring her out. Bring her out. Bring her out. Come on.
00:35:40.480
Bring her down there. Bring her to the left here.
00:35:50.480
I hate hearing that. You know, we spend more than a hundred thousand dollars a year on security for
00:36:16.480
our people, but you cannot hire security to protect you against the police.
00:36:22.720
The security, if police are by it, lay down their weapons and walk away.
00:36:26.880
Security, do not fight police. Security are good against Antifa or some hobo or some random criminal.
00:36:35.040
You cannot protect yourself against the state. When it's Justin Trudeau's RCMP that shoots you in the
00:36:41.840
leg, there is no protection from it. You know, um, we're suing those dirty cops, those rotten apples.
00:36:50.800
We're suing them. And by the way, the RCMP has an internal investigation. I should tell you
00:36:55.360
how, what a sham that internal investigation is. The RCMP waited more than a year
00:36:59.840
before even talking to the cop. It's a cover up. It's a sham. It's a stitch up. It's a lie.
00:37:04.160
We're suing them. We got disclosure of various documents.
00:37:14.800
You know, the police, they were throughout downtown Ottawa.
00:37:20.960
And police do a lot of things. They don't just arrest people. They help people. I was looking
00:37:26.160
through the notes of the police and they, um, this guy had a heart attack. This guy had a slip and
00:37:32.560
fall. Police are giving first aid. It's one of the things police do. They shot Alexa, but they didn't
00:37:38.080
help her. Isn't that weird? They shot her in the leg at almost point blank range and nothing. They
00:37:47.360
didn't see if she was okay. They didn't offer to take her to the hospital. What? Why? I've also studied
00:37:56.240
the, uh, user's manual for the weapon that shot her. And it specifically warns again, the training
00:38:03.440
manuals. And they specifically say it is not for use to shoot against a person like that.
00:38:11.200
What you saw, there was a crime committed against Alexa. And so far, no one has been suspended, let alone
00:38:19.760
fired. So what I would say to Jackson of global news and Alan of the Toronto star is, Hey, I know
00:38:28.880
you're really interested in showbiz gossip, and I know you've got some Tucker Carlson envy going on.
00:38:34.000
And I know you've got an inferiority complex. And I know you're excited that someone in America noticed
00:38:38.560
you because you're Canadian and only you're, it's like you're invisible. I know all these exciting
00:38:42.960
things are going on in your life right now. But you do realize that one of the reasons this is an
00:38:50.080
interesting story is because you haven't covered it. And so you're part of the problem. You're part of
00:38:58.560
the regime. Tucker Carlson isn't just criticizing Justin Trudeau. Justin Trudeau is a powerful man,
00:39:05.200
but he's just one man. What about the other institutions, the other checks and balances? What about
00:39:10.960
the RCMP that is being co-opted into shooting reporters and beating them up? What about
00:39:17.280
the media that cheerleads and smothers stories they don't like? What about the courts that have yet to
00:39:23.120
stop anything that Trudeau has done? What about other cultural institutions, influencers? Everyone's being
00:39:29.200
bought off. They are interested in gossip. How are we doing for time? It's 143.
00:39:41.280
Are there any super chats? Not yet. All right. Why don't we take a commercial break?
00:39:49.120
And we'll come right back. You got a commercial, Olivia? Perfect.
00:39:52.320

00:40:35.360
Hey, welcome back. Yeah, so I'm excited about that Tucker documentary.
00:40:50.000
Look, that star, I mean, that almost seems nice enough. And his answer to me was polite enough.
00:40:57.040
I think it was almost sheepish. It was, hey, don't ask me why the star didn't cover it. I wasn't here.
00:41:02.160
Well, I am asking you why the star didn't cover it.
00:41:09.120
Did you guys, what were the terms you let them use your footage? Is this a co-production?
00:41:13.120
Were you involved? This is on your mind. You're obsessed, mate. This is gossip. You're interested
00:41:21.040
in the wrong things. That is not news. And it's a bit weird that you jumped to that rather than
00:41:28.880
the story. It wasn't just our two reporters, Alexa Lavoie and David Menzies that were in that trailer.
00:41:34.560
You saw Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People's Party of Canada, who was arrested by police and put in
00:41:41.040
jail. And that's not interesting. The sun is interesting to the Toronto Star or the Global
00:41:48.000
News. I think they both might have covered that story briefly. Hey, do you think it would have been
00:41:55.280
bigger news if, say, Elizabeth May were jailed by a rival political party? I mean,
00:42:06.160
my questions to Alan Wood were, do you only care when it's your side that's being the victim and you
00:42:16.320
don't care when your side is doing the victimizing? And I think the answer is sort of obvious. And I
00:42:21.920
think he sort of knows that. I don't know Alan Woods. If he walked in here right now, I wouldn't
00:42:25.680
recognize him. But that's, I don't know, at least he wrote back, I suppose.
00:42:33.520
You know what, we have about 15 minutes left. I want to touch on something else,
00:42:37.360
although I think we did cover that pretty well.
00:42:44.160
You know, James O'Keefe, he was the founder of Project Veritas,
00:42:48.240
which is just a great undercover-focused U.S. news agency. And really, I think he's broken more
00:42:57.600
stories, broken more scoops than anyone else in American journalism. Now, it's a team effort,
00:43:05.520
of course, but he really is the pointy edge of the spear there. Now, he's had a disagreement with
00:43:09.520
his board, which is too bad. And he left Project Veritas and he started, OMG, I love those initials,
00:43:16.640
O'Keefe Media Group. And he managed to track down Dylan Mulvaney, which is
00:43:28.320
a male-to-female transgender icon who you can't get away from these days. Bud Light, I think, might
00:43:36.720
wish they can get away from him. Hey, before we show the OMG clip, did you see the new Budweiser
00:43:43.280
TV commercial? It's on their Twitter channel. So, so, FYI, I don't think it's possible to have missed it.
00:43:51.680
So, Dylan Mulvaney, who is this cloying, insufferable, trans extremist, who isn't just trans. He
00:44:03.360
dresses up as a girl and skips around like a girl. Like there's a, there's a whiff of pedophilia there.
00:44:08.320
He's, he's a, he is a powder keg, I think. That's my opinion.
00:44:17.120
So, so Dylan Mulvaney is apparently the, yeah, yeah, show, show that one there.
00:44:23.600
So that's who Dylan Mulvaney is. That woman of the year in so many ways. And that's the Bud Light.
00:44:32.000
They have these special Bud Light cans with Dylan Mulvaney's face on them, if you can even believe it.
00:44:40.080
And I think they just might have misunderstood who their customer base is. Yeah. Show that image
00:44:49.040
there. Like they actually put Dylan, I mean, I'm not a beer drinker, but I know a lot of people who are.
00:44:57.040
And it's just a guy's thing. Like it's a gal's thing too, but I'm going to guess that 80% of the
00:45:02.960
people who drink Bud Light, or at least the people who drink 80% of the Bud Light are guys.
00:45:08.960
And, um, they have a new ad. It's actually on the Budweiser Twitter account.
00:45:16.240
So you've shown Dylan Mulvaney. Thank you for that. But, um, yeah, scroll down a bit,
00:45:29.360
A little bit more, I think. It's a horse running around.
00:45:33.280
They, uh, you know, I'll have to find it. I don't know how much damage they did. I saw a report that
00:45:45.680
they did $6 billion in damage to their brand. I believe it. You know, I, uh, I, it's just
00:45:53.920
anecdotes on social media, but I see people filming from all these liquor stores and the
00:46:04.160
fridges are empty except for all the Bud Light that's there.
00:46:09.920
And, um, you know, I'm sorry. It may be an old ad that was just re-released.
00:46:15.120
Let me send it to you from my, uh, my account. Sorry, I put you on that wild goose chase there, Olivia.
00:46:27.040
I think that, I think that they, uh, regret what they did. All right, I'm having trouble finding it.
00:46:33.120
I know I retweeted it in the last few days. They're, they're trying to fix it up. They're
00:46:39.280
trying to dial it back. They're trying to re-masculinize them. I watched this ad that they
00:46:46.240
re-released and I counted the number of men and women in it and what they were doing and what they
00:46:53.920
were saying. And it's so rare to see an ad with, you know, conservative looking white men in the
00:47:03.360
country, rural, like those, those are the people you're supposed to hate and demonize and mock these
00:47:08.240
days. But I think they're just so desperate to reconnect with their base. They, they broke all
00:47:14.160
their rules and showed some white males again. I'm, I'm sorry. I'm having trouble finding it, but, uh,
00:47:31.600
Two days ago. Okay, good. You found it. So this is their way of saying,
00:47:35.840
I think I've made a terrible, I think I've made a terrible mistake. You tell me folks,
00:47:43.120
we're going to show you a gorgeous, that's beautiful. It's heart tugging. I want to ask you,
00:47:49.840
tell me another retail brand that shows this many white males, straight white males, rural country,
00:47:55.280
Trump voting, white males in a row. In fact, I think there's only one woman in this ad and she's
00:47:59.760
raising an American flag. So when was the last time you saw a, uh, a mass consumer brand that allowed
00:48:06.240
white males to look like not to be, they're not in the role of demon. Um, this many men at all,
00:48:15.920
this ad is their way of saying, Holy cow, we just destroyed $6 billion worth of market cap.
00:48:25.200
Uh, cause cause, cause someone in our ad agency thinks Dylan Mulvaney is hot. Take a look at this
00:48:33.520
ad. This ad should be called. We're so, so, so sorry.
00:48:37.280
Let me tell you a story about a beer rooted in the heart of America found in a community
00:48:59.760
where a handshake is a sure contract. Brewed for those who found opportunity in challenge and hope
00:49:10.240
in tomorrow. Raised by generations, willing to sip, share, risk, remember.
00:49:22.320
This is a story bigger than beer. This is the story of the American spirit.
00:49:34.640
That's a great ad. I think, uh, it feels good to a guy like me because I guess I'm a middle-aged
00:49:46.560
white man. I'm not a beer drinker, but that strikes all the tones of patriotism. They say the word
00:49:51.520
freedom or remember, they say the word remember when they show the freedom tower in New York City,
00:49:56.480
they have some rural scenes, small town scenes, fire hall scenes. Um, I just, you know what? I
00:50:05.680
should, I should send you one more. You know what? I, I re-downloaded TikTok on my phone,
00:50:11.040
which is such a bad thing to do, which is, uh, it really is bad, but there's some content
00:50:17.680
that I just can't get elsewhere. Like so many user videos. I'm just going to choose one at random here.
00:50:26.480
And, uh, you know, all these guys are like, like these men's men. Um, let me just find one that's
00:50:37.440
good. Cause you know what? I, uh, okay. I'm going to send you one. This one's had 54,000 views. So,
00:50:48.160
so maybe it's a good one. Okay. I'm going to send this to you by email, Olivia.
00:51:03.920
Give me one second and thank you for your patience here.
00:51:06.800
You know, I, uh, I, I deleted TikTok for security reasons and I deleted it cause it was just a big
00:51:17.200
time suck. And as, as Elon Musk says, it's a lot of people use TikTok, but they regret the time spent,
00:51:23.120
whereas they don't necessarily feel that way about Twitter. I deleted a TikTok for those,
00:51:27.600
for that reason. I was wasting time on it. And, uh, and I was worried about security, but
00:51:32.640
I just, tell me when you get that, if that link came through,
00:51:39.760
there are hundreds, maybe thousands of guys who look like me. So they're not
00:51:47.040
like 15 year old TikTokers. They're like 50 year old guys. And here's just why I just literally picked
00:51:54.080
this up at random. I haven't even watched this all the way through. I just think a guy, he looks like
00:51:59.360
me, he looks like he's my age and he's making a Bud Light joke. And there are hundreds, maybe
00:52:03.680
thousands of these on TikTok. How are you going to delete an app that gives you so much laughter?
00:52:08.560
Here, take a look, crank up the volume. I really don't know what the big deal about Bud Light is.
00:52:15.360
I've been drinking that shit for years and I don't care. Who knows it? I love it.
00:52:23.840
And I'll keep drinking it till I'm dead. Cause it is delicious.
00:52:34.240
Okay. That's not particularly funny. Like I said, I didn't even watch that one.
00:52:37.760
I didn't even watch that one all the way through. Let me find a better one.
00:52:42.720
All right. I'm not going to look. Well, you know, you know who got it started was Kid Rock.
00:52:54.960
You want to find the Kid Rock video? I'm going to leave it alone. I'm not prepared. I don't have
00:53:00.400
all the TikToks in my hand. That one I showed you, I just picked it random. Wasn't particularly funny,
00:53:04.880
but there are some really, really funny ones of, uh, yeah. Yeah. That Kid Rock one is a good one.
00:53:10.960
Like he got it started. I mean, Kid Rock is exactly the opposite of Dylan Mulvaney in every
00:53:16.880
manner. And he just got it rolling and he calls himself grandpa, which I really like here. Take
00:53:21.360
a look at this. This is Kid Rock getting the ball rolling a few days ago. I'm not sure if this was
00:53:25.280
on Twitter or TikTok. Maybe it's both. Take a look. Grandpa is feeling a little frisky today.
00:53:31.920
Let me, uh, say something to all you and be as clear and concise as possible.
00:53:40.000
Fuck Bud Light. Fuck Anheuser-Busch. Have a terrific day.
00:53:55.120
Yeah. Yeah. I don't think showing him, uh, and a 60 second video of, uh, of a Clydesdale
00:54:05.280
horse is going to undo his antipathy towards Bud Washer. Do you think? Um,
00:54:13.280
okay. Well, that was a better one. The other one I chose at random didn't really work out.
00:54:17.040
Let's, let's read the, uh, you say the super chats are in live stream or the direct message to me.
00:54:24.720
Fraser McBurney. How you doing, my friend? Six bucks. He says, I bet if the mainstream
00:54:28.720
media mentioned Alexa shooting once, they will forget it the next day. Yeah. I don't think it's
00:54:32.880
being reported anywhere. Not even once. Don't you think that's odd?
00:54:35.360
Yeah. And then miss the old days. Ten bucks says, if you guys start up rebel brews,
00:54:42.960
you would have a lot of instant customers. Ha ha. You know, isn't that a great idea? I don't think
00:54:46.960
we have the horsepower to do that because obviously we wouldn't be able to set up our own brewery.
00:54:51.280
We'd have to buy beer from an existing brewery and just put our label on it. Maybe that's a good idea.
00:54:56.400
There, there are a lot of breweries that that's called white label. So they make a beer and then
00:55:03.200
they let whoever put a label on it. Maybe that's a good idea. I think rebel brews. I think there would
00:55:09.840
be a cohort of people who would buy it. I just, that's a whole other business line, uh, marketing,
00:55:15.600
distribution, all sorts of, you know, and by the way, that wouldn't just happen overnight.
00:55:22.080
Uh, I admire daily wire for, uh, their razors, Jeremy's razors. Um, and I think rebel brews is
00:55:30.960
good, but again, how are you going to distribute that unless you have it shipped to you? It's
00:55:34.800
expensive to ship beer because it's so heavy. It's like shipping, you know, it's a very heavy thing.
00:55:39.680
It's not, but, um, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. Um, before we go, that was all a preamble to
00:55:46.560
James O'Keefe in the OMG media group. He tracked down Dylan Mulvaney. Let's just take a look at how
00:55:53.520
that goes. Let's play this for a couple of minutes. Take a look. I'm James O'Keefe with OMG news
00:55:57.920
outside the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills. Dylan Mulvaney is inside the women's restroom right
00:56:05.520
now. So I'm going to ask him for comment about our story regarding women being raped in prison by
00:56:11.360
men claiming to be transgender. Here we go. Dylan, this is James O'Keefe OMG. Women are being raped in
00:56:17.040
a prison in Washington state by men claiming to be transgender. There's footage of them talking
00:56:23.120
about the rape. Do you have a comment on the story here, uh, of the women being raped by the men claiming
00:56:31.120
to be transgender? James O'Keefe OMG news. Um, do you, what do you think about the women who are being
00:56:40.080
raped by the men who are transgender? Do you have a comment about that? Please don't come in the
00:56:44.640
elevator with me. Um, what do you think about, what is your comment to the women are being raped by
00:56:54.800
So we're here with Dylan, uh, here, uh, haven't had much Bud Light recently, but we're very interested
00:57:01.040
in the women's prison. Dylan? Okay. She did go into the, he, she went into the women's restroom.
00:57:12.480
What the hell are you doing? This is a women's bathroom. Trying to show them the footage.
00:57:21.120
No comment here at the Four Seasons Hotel in, are we Beverly Hills? All right.
00:57:27.200
All right. I wonder where she's going. He's going.
00:57:34.320
Do you guys have any, like, O'Keefe beer? O'Keefe beer? Do you have any O'Keefe beer?
00:57:45.280
Do you guys have O'Keefe beer? You don't carry O'Keefe beer? No one will get a shipment in.
00:57:50.640
He's funny. Um, you'll notice the one thing that Dylan Mulvaney said to him.
00:58:00.160
I forget the exact words. You don't belong in here. You're not welcome here. Please don't
00:58:03.680
come in here. I think is the exact words. Please don't come in here. Hey, uh, would Dylan Mulvaney
00:58:09.920
listen to that if he walked into a girl's bathroom and a biological woman said, please don't come in
00:58:18.720
here? Would Dylan Mulvaney get out? Please don't come in here. Really? Do you respect when people say
00:58:26.800
that? Or is that just you who's special? Good for him for being a great, uh, for executing so well and
00:58:36.480
so quickly? He really has his finger on the pulse of things, and I hope he does well. Well, my friends,
00:58:42.800
it is the top of the hour, 2.02 Eastern Time, 12.02, uh, just afternoon in Alberta. What a pleasure to be
00:58:49.280
with you. Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at home,
00:58:55.920
the media has an extraordinarily important role to play in our democracy, in any democracy.
00:59:10.640
They're here, yes, to report if I trip over the carpet and fall flat on my face and that'll make
00:59:15.760
the evening news. Whether I do it literally or metaphorically, they're there to capture that.
00:59:20.000
But they're also there to ask really tough questions. And not just so they can expose or
00:59:25.680
challenge, uh, people in power, which is extraordinarily important, but so that citizens
00:59:31.680
can feel reassured that as you go through your daily lives, you've got a professional cadre of
00:59:40.160
journalists there holding us to account on everything they do, alongside what the opposition
00:59:46.880
is doing, alongside what other political parties are doing, in a way that reassures you
00:59:52.720
that the tremendous power a government has is not being abused. That's what is so important in
00:59:58.960
journalism. And when you have political parties or individuals who directly undermine and attack
01:00:08.800
the independent professional work of journalists, and listen, I could write books about all the times I've
01:00:15.920
disagreed with what journalists have said about me and about the conclusions they've jumped to.
01:00:20.160
But questioning their right and their legitimacy to do that weakens our democracy and our values in
