Well, I asked, where's the beef? Let's call this for what this is. Oh my God. They are so
00:00:07.800
hopelessly woke. How dare you? That is the intellectual capital of the left today. Give
00:00:15.240
me a break. You are now watching the Daily Roundup.
00:00:21.640
Oh, hi everybody. Ezra Levant here in our world headquarters. What a pleasure to be back in the
00:00:26.260
see. Most of the time it's my friend David Benzies and Sheila Gunn-Reed co-hosting
00:00:30.040
live stream, but every once in a while I like to do it. I am a little bit ahead of
00:00:34.240
my work, so it's a pleasure to be here. I should tell you that tonight on the Ezra
00:00:38.840
Levant show, which is my evening show behind our paywall, we will be having a
00:00:44.040
feature interview with Brian Peckford, the former premier of Newfoundland. And
00:00:49.680
what's interesting about him, he's a very interesting guy. He's got a lot to say
00:00:53.000
about a lot of things, but from a historical point of view, he is the last
00:00:56.860
living premier to have negotiated and signed the Charter of Rights and
00:01:02.600
Freedoms. You know, he's tantamount to a father of confederation. Obviously, there
00:01:10.100
was a group of people who built Canada in 1867, but I'm talking about the people
00:01:15.720
who 40-odd years ago enshrined our civil liberties in our supreme law, our
00:01:22.260
constitution. And so I find it very interesting to talk to him because, of
00:01:28.260
course, over the years and the decades and the centuries, is the law being
00:01:34.700
applied in the manner intended by the signers, the framers, the founders? And when
00:01:40.720
we talk to Brian Peckford, we can see he's not even passed away yet, thank God, may he
00:01:47.360
live to be 120, but they're already moving away from the purpose and the intention of
00:01:54.460
the framers of the Charter. I won't go on any more about it. I invite you to tune in
00:01:58.420
at 8 p.m. If you don't know how to watch Rebel News Plus, my show is on Rebel News Plus.

00:02:10.560
every weeknight. And I try and be here all the time. Once in a while, I do have to travel
00:02:14.500
so we have guest hosts, but we never miss a show. So anyways, I'm looking forward to that
00:02:20.300
tonight. Brian Peckford, 8 p.m. Eastern time. One of the things I see on the corner of my
00:02:26.200
eye are videos from the PSAC protests. PSAC is the Public Service Alliance of Canada, I
00:02:33.760
think. It's a big government union. And they're on strike. And did we show that video the other
00:02:43.400
day, the one that felt like, you know, I don't know if you remember, there were all these videos
00:02:48.140
before Elon Musk bought Twitter of a day in the life of an HR worker at Twitter, a day in the life
00:02:58.200
of a sensor at Twitter. Like I think the majority of staff at Twitter were in these bizarre soft jobs
00:03:06.940
with no real deliverables and certainly nothing to do with the engineering of the product or the user
00:03:13.280
experience. They were just sort of like barnacles on a ship. And when Twitter was young and it was
00:03:18.880
like a canoe, there weren't many barnacles, but later as it became as large as an aircraft carrier,
00:03:24.180
there were a gazillion barnacles on the ship. And there were, and I know that Elon Musk saw some
00:03:31.000
of these. I mean, they were, it was just incredible what it was like at Twitter according to these
00:03:36.260
videos. You know, all free breakfast, free lunch, free supper, gyms, yoga, you know, nap rooms, games
00:03:45.260
rooms. I don't know if they actually did any work. And I think the answer to that is I don't think
00:03:51.000
they were doing work even when they weren't getting those free drinks. They were, you know,
00:03:56.820
they were just living off the avails of the platform. And when Elon Musk sacked thousands of
00:04:06.800
them, they squawked and squawked. But speaking as a Twitter user, I really don't see any difference in
00:04:14.300
the user experience. I think you've got it on the screen there. Yeah, I just want to, and I want to
00:04:20.080
compare that to, uh, to some of these PSAC videos. Yeah. But the one you've got the screen
00:04:26.340
that, that looks like the kind of thing day in the life of a Twitter, uh, worker. Yeah. Let's show
00:04:31.760
this just to give people what I'm talking about. Okay. So this past week went to SF for the first
00:04:36.580
time at a Twitter office, badged in, honestly took a moment to just soak everything in. What a blessing.
00:04:44.160
Also started my morning off with an iced matcha from the perch. Then I had a meeting. So
00:04:49.500
quickly scheduled one of these little pod rooms, which were so cool. They're literally noise
00:04:54.720
canceling. Took my meeting, got ready for a bunch. Look how delicious this food looks. Oh my goodness.
00:05:01.060
I was so overwhelmed. Then made my way down to this log cabin area. I don't know what this is,
00:05:07.420
but it was really cool. I played some food with all of my friends to kind of unwind a bit. Um,
00:05:13.480
also found this really cool meditation room that I thought was super neat. Um, I didn't do any yoga,
00:05:21.500
but they have this yoga room if you are a yogi. So also thought that was really cool. Um, had a
00:05:27.920
couple more meetings in the afternoon, had a ton of projects that we needed to knock out. So I went to
00:05:32.280
my teammates, um, went to the, went to the library to kind of get some more work done, obviously had to
00:05:39.720
have our afternoon coffee. So made some espresso. And then before leaving for the day, had some red
00:05:45.720
wine, um, that's on tap, went up to the rooftop and just honestly enjoyed the beautiful weather.
00:05:53.660
So awesome trip. My favorite, absolute favorite part of that was when she said, I need to unwind a bit
00:06:01.620
because she had such a, such a busy day. You've got unwind after that wine on tap. I mean, you know,
00:06:10.760
we, we've got snacks here. We used to have a ton of snacks, but the idea of wine on tap, and she said,
00:06:17.840
and then it was nice nighttime. So I headed, uh, to the rooftop, uh, and she went there and it did
00:06:25.060
not look like nighttime to me. It looked like it was still, uh, in the middle of the business day,
00:06:31.300
but, um, yeah, absolutely. Now, did you find that tweet I did from that one gal who had, I think it
00:06:39.200
was, yeah. Uh, yeah, that's it. That's exactly right. That's the one there. Tell me if this isn't
00:06:45.740
the exact same vibe as those lazy, do nothing overpaid, over pampered, over privilege, Twitter
00:06:52.440
workers. Now there were only, I think 8,000 of them at Twitter. There's 155,000 of them in the
00:06:59.340
federal government list. And I think it's also that up talking tone of voice. Take a listen.
00:07:07.080
Today is day two of our strike as a federal employee. Gurley, there was a really big turnout
00:07:13.700
at Parliament Hill today. Uh, we started off by signing in and we grabbed a little coffee.
00:07:18.660
Okay. If you're from Ottawa, please don't judge me, but I've actually never been to Little
00:07:22.180
Victories. It was my first time, but it had the cutest vibe and really, really good coffee. So
00:07:27.920
we picked up some coffee and hit the road again. My friends started explaining how to install a
00:07:34.480
diva cup. And honestly, I think after this explanation, I'm a fan and I'm going to probably
00:07:39.640
try it. You know what your thoughts are on the diva cup because everyone I talked to loves it. We
00:07:44.680
finished the day off at Parliament and it was really nice and sunny, but honestly, I was just happy to
00:07:50.520
leave and get food. But today is day two of our... Yeah. Uh, I mean, like I totally went to this
00:07:56.480
amazing coffee place and it had a great vibe. And, um, you know, I want to let you know something
00:08:02.400
because the federal bureaucrat payment system, which is called the Phoenix or something doesn't
00:08:08.760
work because it doesn't work and it hasn't worked for years and they spent billions of dollars on it.
00:08:12.900
Um, these strikers are still getting paid. I want to let you know that there's a global mail story
00:08:18.980
to that effect. I think yesterday, these strikers are actually still getting paid, but I put it to you.
00:08:23.500
They are doing no less work now than they did last week. How do you know they're on strike? Are you
00:08:29.400
sure? Are you sure about that? Uh, I mean, last year I tried to get my passport renewed. It took
00:08:38.220
what, six months when they were not on strike. Uh, is it any different now? Um, I don't really know.
00:08:45.940
I bet it's quicker. I bet it's quicker now. How about the airport man? Yeah, look at that.
00:08:50.480
PSAC workers strike. Federal public servants will continue getting regular salaries until at least
00:08:55.320
May 10th. That's just so amazing. And again, who's even tracking it? Who even cares? It's just
00:09:04.340
government money. And on the one hand, you've got the government negotiating with the government union
00:09:10.420
and they're using play money. They're using other people's dough. It's other people's money. And, um,
00:09:16.480
what do they care? Justin Trudeau had a statement about it today. I haven't seen this yet. Let's
00:09:23.620
watch it together. Justin Trudeau talking about the strike. Does he even notice? I don't know. Let's
00:09:30.920
It just got a handle on things like the passport backlog and trying to make headway on immigration
00:09:35.320
backlog. And now there's the risk that it starts all over again. What is your response to that?
00:09:39.000
Is it frustrating for you that you're back to ground zero here?
00:09:41.480
Well, I think first of all, understanding the importance of defending, uh, the rights to
00:09:47.520
collective bargaining, the rights people have to, to a job action. This is something that's
00:09:52.580
really important for our government. So yes, it's frustrating to know that, uh, Canadians may,
00:09:58.480
as the days come, uh, have more difficulty accessing services, uh, but that's a motivator for everyone
00:10:04.160
to try and resolve this. The union is certainly very aware of Canadians, uh, impatience and they
00:10:10.660
have to calibrate that carefully. Uh, as a government, we are there to respect, uh, collective
00:10:15.800
bargaining. We're there to make progress at the table. And right now progress is being
00:10:20.020
made. There's an ebb and flow in these negotiations always, but, uh, we're going to continue to
00:10:27.220
First of all, what does that mean? It's a motivator for everyone to settle.
00:10:32.580
Well, why would peace act be motivated? What do they care? Like literally, what do they
00:10:37.040
care? They're, they're negotiating against perhaps the worst negotiator in the world right
00:10:40.980
now. Justin Trudeau negotiated a payment to Volkswagen, one of the largest companies in
00:10:48.820
the world, a $13 billion payment to have them build a $7 billion factory in Ontario. He is
00:10:56.920
literally the world's worst negotiator. And, uh, the only thing worse than this answer was
00:11:03.520
the stupidity of the question. Is it frustrating for you? Hey, Justin Trudeau, you're not the
00:11:09.920
decider here. You're not the prime minister. You're not the decision maker. You're not the,
00:11:15.000
the one who has any response of responsibility here. So I'm not going to ask you, why did you
00:11:20.720
let this happen? Or how much money are you going to blow making this go away? I'm going
00:11:25.400
to ask you a feelings question that implies you're the victim. Is it frustrating for you?
00:11:31.380
In fact, the preamble was implying that he, that he had fixed things. He had fixed the
00:11:38.580
passport mask. He had fixed the immigration backlog. He had fixed the air. Are you, is
00:11:45.060
it frustrating for you, prime minister? You fixed everything. You did personally. And these
00:11:51.240
people are being so frustrating. Aren't you frustrated? That's your question. I wonder who
00:11:57.840
the reporter was, but really doesn't matter. They're all non-player characters. They're all
00:12:03.060
clones. They're all, you know, they're all on the same team. There is no difference between a global
00:12:08.640
news reporter and a CBC reporter and trial store reporter and global mail reporter on one or two
00:12:13.620
issues. Uh, you know, on the China issue, I think global and global mail have stepped up
00:12:19.040
for the first time in eight years. But, um, yeah, prime minister, you've done such a great job.
00:12:26.560
Aren't you frustrated with these strikers? Yeah. Um, I sent you a few more vids in the,
00:12:33.920
in the Slack channel there. I just saw a few vids and I just, I want to show you, um, who these
00:12:40.960
strikers are. And these just made me chuckle. Do you want to play some of those vids I sent you?
00:12:44.560
Yeah. Like just, like just, yeah, I don't know exactly what that is. And listen, my dancing's not
00:13:07.480
much better. That reminds me a little bit of Elaine Bennis for those who are over 40 and, you know,
00:13:11.920
the dancing moves she had that were sort of epileptic. Um, a little bit cringe. They reminded
00:13:19.480
me of those dance videos that the board nurses did. Yeah. Here's another one. What's the sound
00:13:41.260
Okay. Uh, what's the next one? I think I sent over three or four. I don't even remember what they were.
00:13:45.700
I just sort of clipped them. Let's take a look at this next one.
00:13:49.340
You know, it reminds me of, uh, the demographics of the public sector union, which was, uh,
00:14:19.320
which is overwhelmingly middle-aged women. And there's nothing wrong with that. There's some
00:14:23.460
jobs that are overwhelmingly male construction, working, deep sea fishing, uh, military prison
00:14:29.800
guards. These are overwhelmingly male jobs. And being a government sector bureaucrat is overwhelmingly
00:14:35.500
a middle-aged woman's job, which may also explain why Trudeau is so sympathetic to them. Because if you
00:14:40.460
look at demographics, every single poll, uh, Trudeau has a very strong wage gap, men simply do not vote
00:14:48.520
for Justin Trudeau. And young men, the last poll I saw that broke it down by demographics,
00:14:53.840
young men, I'm talking about men between 18 and 29 who vote liberal, who say they will vote liberal.
00:15:00.960
It's less than 20%. And in the prairies to try and find a man under 30 who votes liberal, it's,
00:15:14.760
it's getting down there close to 10%. And that's the funny thing about a way at gender gap like that
00:15:22.940
is let's say the liberals are at, I don't know, I'm just going to pick a number of 30% in the polls
00:15:28.600
and they have a gender gap. So I'm just going to make up a number. So that implies that they're
00:15:34.240
at 20% with men and 40% with women, right? If it's averaging out of 30. And I'm just making up
00:15:40.040
numbers here, although they are around 30. So there's two ways you can express that. You could
00:15:44.420
say, oh my God, the conservatives have a gender problem with women. Or you could say, oh my God,
00:15:51.240
the liberals have a problem with men. No men support Justin Trudeau. How, how has it been phrased
00:15:58.580
these last eight years? Because a disproportionate number of men vote conservative. That's not a
00:16:06.080
positive thing though. It's positive that Justin Trudeau has a disproportionate number of women.
00:16:11.320
I expect he will give these middle-aged liberal voting bureaucrat women an enormous payout because
00:16:18.120
they're on his team. They're his base. There's not a lot of anger in those protests. There's not a lot
00:16:24.240
of conviction at all because they're not really striking over anything. They haven't been hard
00:16:29.200
done by. They've been getting, you know, the government is spending more now on the public
00:16:33.540
sector than they literally ever have in history. There's nothing to be complained about. It's just
00:16:38.540
an opportunistic cash grab. I presume there'll be an election perhaps later this year. So they just
00:16:43.520
want to get the money now thinking that they can put pressure on Trudeau so he doesn't have a strike
00:16:48.080
before the election. Now it's, it's interesting because the last time I was at a public protest
00:16:55.880
in Ottawa was just over a year ago, a year and a couple months ago, I guess, when I went to Ottawa
00:17:03.560
for what I knew would be special. I didn't realize how history making it would be. I'm talking about
00:17:09.920
the trucker protest, a peaceful protest, um, that did two things wrong, uh, from a legal point of
00:17:19.060
view. There were people who parked where they shouldn't have parked for longer than they
00:17:24.060
parked. So they, it was a parking tickets and they honked their horns, uh, at night. And I would,
00:17:31.820
I would agree with the characterization that they caused a disturbance. Um, I think that's,
00:17:37.180
that was their point. And when local residents went to a judge and said, could you make them
00:17:42.460
stop honking their horns, please? The judge issued an order to that effect and the trucker stopped.
00:17:48.760
So there was no violence. There were no threats. The government was so desperate to trump up that
00:17:53.600
narrative that there was violence, that they ascribed violence to the convoy that was not
00:17:57.900
the convoys. They claimed some arson was the convoy's fault. Obviously that's laughable,
00:18:03.320
but the media and the liberals, but I repeat myself, were so horny for that story. They ran it.
00:18:08.840
But let me contrast that with these PSAC workers. Let me start with a modest thing. Um, there was
00:18:14.720
some therapist clinic for disabled kids and the shouting and the swearing and the banging of the
00:18:23.640
PSAC workers outside was terrifying the special needs kids. Uh, and they, they put out a little
00:18:30.280
message to this effect here. Take a look at this little video. Although we were spent your right
00:18:39.580
to strike, we were asking strikers to find another public space since the constant honking and yelling
00:18:47.140
are scaring our special needs children who come to therapy at our clinic. Very peaceful,
00:18:55.180
very respectful, very pleasant letter. Um, how's that different from the truckers? Well,
00:19:03.320
yeah, but that's not it. See, that's just being noisy. By the way, I think you have the right to be
00:19:14.480
noisy. And listen, you don't want to upset kids. Uh, we have worked very hard to create
00:19:20.400
welcoming. Anyhow, listen, so, so they're, they're worried about the noise for these special
00:19:29.700
needs kids and I'm not going to be too dainty about it. You know, peaceful protests, you're allowed
00:19:34.820
to make a little bit of noise. Even if you don't really know why you're striking, uh, and you just
00:19:40.220
want extra money cause you're a liberal and you think you deserve it. That's fine. But I saw a video,
00:19:46.640
Efron, do you know, the one where they, they kicked a car and attacked a car and threatened
00:19:50.620
and there was some violence? Yeah. Let's take a look at this one. This is city news, striking
00:19:55.420
federal workers escalate. Take a look. And now on day six with no deal in sight, things are ramping up.
00:20:04.800
Our cameras captured a clash between striking workers and a driver leaving the service center
00:20:10.140
this morning. We are asking people to sort of stand with us in solidarity for a moment for 10 minutes.
00:20:16.640
Uh, previously we were holding people for five minutes. Um, but now we're doing 10 minutes.
00:20:20.620
Uh, people have been pretty receptive actually. Um, so that's great. Uh, we haven't had too many
00:20:26.460
issues. Another tactic now coming into play, disrupt the economy. A media rep for the public service
00:20:32.880
Alliance of Canada tells me as of today, striking workers are hampering access to some Canadian ports,
00:20:39.380
including the port of Montreal. And now on day. Oh, just that, eh? Well, funny. Cause, um,
00:20:47.940
when the truckers briefly blocked the ambassador bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit,
00:20:54.940
Michigan, the police moved in pretty heavy. And that was one of the last straws before Trudeau said,
00:21:01.380
this is an economic crisis. We must deploy the military or, uh, riot police. Um,
00:21:09.380
so you've got blocking cars. I think they were kicking the car also.
00:21:16.700
They're saying we are detaining people for five or 10 minutes. Oh, is, can you do that? Can I do that
00:21:22.500
to you? Can I hold you prisoner? Can I falsely imprison you for five or 10 minutes and brag about
00:21:27.840
it to the media and have silence from the police and from the government? The truckers honked their
00:21:33.560
horns and had a little hot tub party and they did some dancing too. Wasn't quite as cringe as the
00:21:38.740
dancing I've shown you the last 20 minutes. And they had their bank account seized and, um, they
00:21:45.420
were stomped on by ride horses. And our own reporter, Alexa Lavoie was shot by an RCMP officer. The only
00:21:52.720
person in the entire trucker convoy time period, January and February, there was many days, tens of
00:22:01.920
thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people. The only person who was shot just happened by
00:22:09.240
coincidence to be a rebel news reporter. Do you think that was coincidence? Do you really think it
00:22:14.160
was coincidence? I should tell you we're suing the RCMP. We've, uh, found the name of the disgraceful
00:22:23.480
thug who shot her. The RCMP has disclosed the name and nature of the weapon. And in fact has provided
00:22:32.120
us with the training manual to look at the weapon, to learn about it. And I can tell you right now that
00:22:40.320
the weapon was improperly used and it was used contrary to its purpose. You don't take a riot gun
00:22:50.160
like that and shoot it at someone like that. That is an insane thing to do, especially when it's not a
00:22:56.520
protester, when it is a journalist simply holding her phone like that, that is explicitly against the
00:23:05.500
training manual. And this thug just did it. I should tell you the RCMP, uh, investigation, they're
00:23:11.980
investigating their own cop. Uh, it's clearly a whitewash. I can tell you right now they're going to
00:23:16.460
whitewash it. They waited more than a year before you even interviewed them than the cop involved.
00:23:20.800
You don't do that if you, if you care about, uh, fixing a problem. It's a disgrace. Brenda
00:23:26.220
Lucky, what she has done to the RCMP is an absolute disgrace. But my point today is
00:23:30.560
here you have PSAC deliberately and threatening to shut down a port, attacking a vehicle, holding
00:23:40.460
people falsely imprisoned for five or 10 minutes, and not even a word, let alone a cop. Uh, the whole
00:23:49.420
point about the legal system is everyone has to know that the rules apply the same to everyone.
00:23:56.040
And the reason for that is so you believe in the system, even when it deals you a hand you don't
00:24:00.540
like, we have to all believe it's fair enough so that when we lose, we still respect the rules of
00:24:07.100
the game. But if the rules are only applied against one team and not the other, then the administration
00:24:13.060
of justice is brought into disrepute. And I'm afraid that is happening here, at least from what I'm
00:24:18.500
seeing. Um, I want to take a break since we're on the subject of the trucker convoy. Did you know
00:24:25.560
the rebel news has proudly published Tamara Leach's book? The book is called hold the line. You can get
00:24:33.720
it at the website, the convoy book. I have bought my copy. It arrived two days ago. It is great. It's a
00:24:42.800
hardcover. We, it's our first hardcover book we've published. Normally we publish paperbacks.
00:24:49.280
Here, we've got a little ad. Take a look at this little video by Tamara herself.
00:24:55.360
The Tamara Leach has been released from jail. Western separatist Tamara Leach.
00:25:01.360
Leach will remain in custody. We have breaking news out of Ottawa to tell you about it. Judge has made a
00:25:06.460
decision on whether to grant bail for Tamara Leach, one of the leaders of that recent demonstration in
00:25:11.880
Ottawa. You may have seen me on the news, but there's more to my story.
00:25:26.600
In my new book, hold the line. I share the story of the freedom convoy from the heart of the freedom
00:25:32.200
convoy. It's a story of hope, courage, and coming together as a community in the Canadian way. You
00:25:38.860
can buy my new book at theconvoybook.com, and in that book, you're going to hear stories from the
00:25:43.560
heart of the convoy, as well as my arrest and my time in jail, like you've never heard them before.
00:25:49.500
Until very recently, I've been quite silent because of my bail conditions, but now I'm ready to tell my
00:25:55.240
story, my side of the story. I know the mainstream media isn't going to be fair to me, as they've
00:26:00.420
already called me and my friends from the convoy terrorists.
00:26:03.940
There is increasing concern about violent online rhetoric supporting the convoy, and that those
00:26:09.260
with extreme views are planning on attending. The mayor who made, in my estimation, just a horrendous
00:26:15.920
decision to negotiate with terrorists. So I'm launching a book tour across Canada. We'll be doing
00:26:21.280
interviews, signing books, and saying thank you to all Canadians for your support. I've partnered with
00:26:27.660
Rebel News to crowdfund for the cost of my book, as well as our advertising campaign. With your help,
00:26:35.300
we'll be purchasing ads and billboards to spread the word about my book. We'll also be upgrading my
00:26:40.800
home studio, which will enable me to do interviews all around the world. If you're a shop owner or a
00:26:46.080
business owner, and you'd like to have a book signing, please fill out the form on our website,
00:26:50.580
which you can find here. And if you'd like to make a donation for the tour, we'll greatly appreciate
00:26:55.100
it. The first 500 people to send in a donation of $200 or more will receive a free signed copy of my
00:27:02.080
book, Hold the Line, My Story from the Heart of the Freedom Convoy. The last time I drove across Canada,
00:27:08.660
something very special happened. Let's make that happen again. Go to theconvoybook.com. Thank you.
00:27:15.140
You know, I'm very excited about that. While we were showing you that little commercial,
00:27:22.440
I went to amazon.ca. Can you please do that, Olivia? And I just typed in Tamera Leach. That's just all
00:27:31.900
I typed in. Yeah, and put it on the screen. Show people as you do it.
00:27:36.740
And then click on the book. And you see right under those five stars there, it's got a 4.9 star
00:27:49.940
review out of five, 180 ratings. Yeah, you see it says Amazon charts in blue, that little blue tag
00:27:56.820
there. And it says number one this week. Yeah, click on that. Click on that. So this is the big
00:28:03.360
chart. This isn't the moment by moment rankings. This is the big deal. End of the week. What's
00:28:09.740
cooking? Would you look at that? Hold the Line by Tamera Leach is the number one bestselling book
00:28:16.060
for the entire week. For the entire week. Isn't that exciting? And scroll down a bit because I want
00:28:23.180
to show you that there's very wide competition. Like her book obviously is a history book. It's a
00:28:28.320
political book. You've got a weight loss book. You've got a self-help book by a doctor. Scroll
00:28:34.000
down a little bit. Okay, Atomic Habits. That's sort of like a pop advice book. It's a good book,
00:28:38.180
I'm sure. Matthew McConaughey's. So this isn't just Canadian. This is all books of all genres. There's
00:28:47.280
that odious prince, what's his name, on the World Privacy Tour. Did you see that South Park
00:28:56.640
episode? Oh my God, the World Privacy. You're down with the monarchy. We want our privacy. I can never
00:29:04.060
think of Meghan and Harry now without thinking down with the monarchy. We deserve our privacy. It's the
00:29:11.600
World Privacy Tour. Oh my gosh. I think that left a mark. I mean, I don't know if South Park is popular
00:29:18.960
in the UK, but boy did it do a number. You just play a little bit of it. Just give people a taste
00:29:26.340
because they'll probably say, what are you talking about, Ezra? But yeah, I think the one you had
00:29:34.900
right there. Yeah, the one with the prince there. Yeah, right there. Yeah, just give it a click.
00:29:46.100
What the hell? What did he just say? He victimized me. It's because I'm an ethnic woman. He can't do that.
00:29:51.880
I'll say, wait, you're ethnic? This is an outrage. We'll just see how he deals with my blue penis.
00:30:00.120
That blue penis thing really is from his autobiography. He talks about his blue penis.
00:30:14.760
Okay. You know what? That was a great little sample. It goes on for quite a bit. And it's
00:30:27.520
Anyhow, sorry, you know me. I love going down the tangents on the live streams. Will you forgive
00:30:36.360
me for that? But I'm very, aren't you glad that Tamara Leach's book has massively outsold
00:30:42.880
Prince Harry's book? Yeah. Yeah. So that, is that, is that it there? Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Play a
00:30:48.280
little bit of that. Just give people another minute. It's too funny. You got to see this. I'm talking
00:30:52.600
serious stuff with Tamara Leach's book. But if you haven't seen this, let me steal two
00:30:57.760
minutes of your time. You got to see this World Privacy Tour business. Take a look.
00:31:03.440
It has been several months now since our beloved Queen has died. All Canadians are finding
00:31:10.440
it hard to go on. All Canadians, that is, except for our first guest, the Prince and his wife.
00:31:20.440
Anne, thanks for having us on the show. It's so awesome to be here. It's great.
00:31:26.440
So, let me start with you, sir. You've lived a life with the royal family, you've had everything
00:31:29.980
handed to you, but you say your life has been hard, and now you've written all about it
00:31:35.440
Yes, that's right, friend. You say my wife and I are totally like you should write a book
00:31:39.180
because your family's like stupid and then so are like journalists.
00:31:45.220
And now you wrote a book that reports on the lives of the royal family.
00:31:50.680
We just want to be normal people. All this attention is so hard.
00:31:53.560
Isn't it true, sir, that your questionable wife has her own TV show and hangs out with
00:32:01.080
Well, I just think some people might say that your Instagram-loving bitch wife actually doesn't
00:32:06.220
How dare you, sir! My Instagram-loving bitch wife has always wanted her privacy!
00:32:11.040
And you know what else? To hell with Canada! We are leaving!
00:32:14.860
We'll go find some quiet place where we can be normal people! Come on, wife!
00:32:19.340
We want privacy! We want privacy! We want privacy!
00:32:23.560
The world privacy tour. You know what? It goes on in that vein and it's too good. It is
00:32:31.540
too good. And I really think they did a number on them. I don't know if any Brits watched that
00:32:38.880
show, but yeah, they nailed it. My book called When? I have to admit, the title Spare is a great
00:32:49.680
title for Prince Harry. It's self-deprecating. I think he is actually a little bit self-deprecating,
00:32:57.660
which is perfect because his wife is sadistic and he's masochistic. And so it's just a perfect fit.
00:33:06.360
Yeah, so I go back to that Tamera Leach Amazon page again. I'm just so proud of that. You know,
00:33:12.880
we publish a fair number of books here, Rebel News. I don't know, maybe we're up to 10 now.
00:33:18.260
And I think this has been or will be our most successful book because it's our most interesting
00:33:27.520
author with the most compelling story. And she has been limited. Like I just find that,
00:33:36.240
scroll a little bit. So the reason I'm showing you this, normally bestseller lists, I don't know if you
00:33:40.280
know this, normally bestseller lists are categorized, right? It makes sense. You've got fiction versus
00:33:46.180
nonfiction and that makes sense. You're never going to have a political story or a history book
00:33:52.460
compete with, you know, Harry Potter, right? And a self-help book or a cookbook, does it really make
00:33:59.040
sense to compare a cookbook with a history book? So what's interesting about this list is it's the
00:34:05.260
everything list. You know, I will teach you to be rich, obviously a self-help, 12 rules for life.
00:34:12.100
There's our friend Jordan Peterson, still in the top 15, which is just incredible. The number of
00:34:18.200
weeks that's been, how many weeks does it say that's been on the list there? I can't quite make
00:34:22.780
that out. 224 weeks on the list. Just amazing. Perhaps the most successful Canadian book in a
00:34:31.720
decade. In fact, I can't even think of one. So the reason, thank you for scrolling through these,
00:34:37.120
the reason I'm showing you that is that there's American books, there's British books, there's
00:34:42.460
fiction, there's nonfiction, there's self-help. And to be the top of all of those is quite something.
00:34:50.920
If you go to the very top, I don't know, I don't have it in front of me, but there's sometimes links
00:34:55.480
to like the Globe and Mail bestseller list. Is that up there? Don't worry if it's not. But if you,
00:35:03.800
if you'll see, for example, um, Amazon charge category, yeah. Category bestsellers. Yeah.
00:35:11.960
Scroll down a little bit more. Okay. It's not right there and I won't waste your time on it, but
00:35:16.700
for example, the Globe and Mail will have Canadian fiction, Canadian nonfiction,
00:35:22.800
uh, foreign fiction, foreign nonfiction. So they typically have at least four categories
00:35:30.720
categories because they all be candid because they want to give the Canadian stuff a chance.
00:35:35.620
Like how many Canadian books are going to be a biography by, uh, you know, Michelle Obama
00:35:41.180
or going to be a Harry Potter book or, or there's a while there when all those vampire books were the
00:35:45.740
hottest thing. So thank you for letting me show you that. But I tell you, if you want your book,
00:35:49.720
you can go to theconvoybook.com. And as you heard in Tamara's video, she is going to promote that book,
00:35:57.620
uh, not just in the media tour, but in a physical tour. I'm very excited about that.
00:36:03.060
Um, all right. So we talked about the strike and I think we did some good coverage there.
00:36:14.980
You know what? We've got a couple of super chats and let me read them now. The first
00:36:18.420
is from our friend, Fraser McBurney, who says today I unsubscribed from Fox news. I suggest you do the
00:36:25.060
same. Obviously a reference to the departure, the sudden, and I would say shocking departure
00:36:31.700
of Tucker Carlson. Um, and there's a bit of a personal, uh, connection there too. I think you may
00:36:38.440
know, or maybe you don't, that, um, but a month ago, myself, David Menzies, Alexa Lavoie,
00:36:45.700
and maybe others of our team, I can't remember offhand, did extended interviews with Tucker's team.
00:36:53.380
And he was going to release a documentary about Canada featuring a number of our people.
00:37:01.940
And that was going to come out next week. I think May 1st, I think it was going to come out.
00:37:08.340
And I feel so bad that it will likely never see the light of day. In fact, in his little, um,
00:37:15.540
preview tease, you can see Alexa and David. Yeah. Can you show? Yeah. And there's our footage.
00:37:20.740
That was our footage of, uh, yeah, there's, I hate that footage, but there's Alexa being attacked,
00:37:27.220
but there's her talking about being attacked by Trudeau's cops. There's David talking about being
00:37:32.580
attacked. This is Maxime Bernier being arrested, uh, by his political rival. This is the riot horses
00:37:39.700
stomping on people. Just incredible. And, um, I have not seen that documentary and I fear that no one
00:37:49.380
will ever see it because I'm guessing the rights were owned by Fox. Um, I think the documentary is
00:37:57.060
probably finished. I mean, it was a week before it was going to air. It was probably done or at least
00:38:03.300
in its, uh, you know, second last version. Um, it would be a shame if we never saw that. I'd,
00:38:10.340
I'd really like to see it. And I wonder if that'll ever happen. Uh, we have one more super chat from
00:38:16.100
yesterday. Or is it from today? From today, JCMN 84. JCMN 84 gave a hundred smackers. Well,
00:38:30.740
thank you very much for that, by the way. I appreciate that. Unvaxxed healthcare workers
00:38:34.980
remain terminated in BC while staffing shortages put people at risk. Unvaxxed visitors now allowed in
00:38:42.820
hospitals. Such illogical policies. C-S-S-E-M dot org freedom to choose dot C-A. Uh, why don't we
00:38:52.580
click on freedom to choose dot C-A? I'm wondering what that is about. Uh, speaking of which, by the
00:38:56.660
way, our Sheila Gunn-Reed today is live tweeting the, uh, citizen's inquiry into things. And I, I've
00:39:03.940
seen some of her tweets and I've retweeted some of them. It's very heartbreaking what's going on. Oh,
00:39:08.100
it makes no sense to policy. I see this morning that China itself is lifting some COVID rules for
00:39:16.420
travel there. Not that I'm looking to travel to China. Uh, but the United States is not. In fact,
00:39:22.180
I thought they were done. Efron, I don't know if you heard this. I thought they were done enforcing
00:39:26.740
it on the ground, but I saw, uh, three days ago, someone made a little video that they were turned
00:39:34.420
back at a land entry for not being vaxxed. I guess it comes down to the border agent or who knows if
00:39:43.060
someone made a fuss and got on some watch list or something. Um, I traveled down, I think, you know,
00:39:50.500
I went down about two weeks ago and I had to spend about an hour, uh, haggling with different people
00:39:58.980
about my, about my non-vax status before they let me in. I was very scared they were not going to let me
00:40:04.100
in and I was going to drive to Buffalo, but as I learned that may not be allowed. Uh, it's 1 40.
00:40:14.100
I want to, um, talk a little bit more about Tucker when he was sacked. I didn't know what it,
00:40:23.540
I don't know if anyone knows what it really was. Did you see Bill O'Reilly's comments on it?
00:40:29.460
Uh, I wonder if you can find those quickly. Bill O'Reilly, who used to be with Fox and was sacked,
00:40:35.780
if I recall, over a Me Too moment. Uh, and he was a huge star there, really big.
00:40:41.940
Um, so he's got his own show now and he, or maybe he was talking about, maybe he was on another show.
00:40:50.980
Yeah. Maybe he was here. Let's just watch this. Here's Bill O'Reilly. Uh, and the funny thing is,
00:40:56.820
I think that is, uh, Chris Cuomo, the former CNN host. There's a lot of former hosts, uh,
00:41:03.460
around some of them for Me Too reasons. Let's hear what Chris has to say.
00:41:08.180
Joining me now, Bill O'Reilly, the biggest star in the history of Fox News, had the number one show
00:41:14.340
there. Carlson, uh, was riding that wake until today. What do you make of the announcement,
00:41:20.500
Brother Bill? Well, uh, you didn't refer to me as a dog, did you? Um, with the Hunter Thompson quote,
00:41:27.860
I actually did some, uh, reporting today. It was refreshing because usually I'm analyzing,
00:41:33.060
but I had a report, find out what happened to, uh, tell the News Nation audience not to believe
00:41:38.980
90% of what they're hearing, as you pointed out. So today, um, as every day in the TV news business,
00:41:46.500
the producers of the Tucker Carlson program and all other news shows were having their morning meeting,
00:41:52.500
laying out what was going to be on this evening. All right. In the middle of that
00:41:57.700
meeting, they got word that their host was not coming to work ever again. All right. So all of this
00:42:08.340
BS about, well, the decision was made last week, or it was made during the Dominion. That's all not
00:42:15.460
true. The decision was made Sunday evening. Okay. And there were two reasons why, but I'll get to that
00:42:23.300
in a moment. So Fox news did not want to remove Tucker Carlson because as you pointed out, he was the
00:42:32.580
second highest rated program on the network next to the five. And he was the most well-known individual
00:42:40.900
host. So they didn't want to move him out, but there are lawsuits coming on the wake of Dominion.
00:42:49.940
They lost 800 million plus on Dominion. And now you have Smartmatic coming up and you have two
00:42:57.300
individual lawsuits, actually one file and one that may be filed. And that was the key.
00:43:05.140
So one of, uh, Tucker Carlson's producers apparently taped a whole bunch of stuff. Her lawyer went into the
00:43:12.260
Fox attorneys and said, unless you pay so-and-so some money, um, we're going to sue you. And Fox said,
00:43:21.540
we're not paying. So they filed suit in New York city and they had the tapes and those tapes may be
00:43:27.300
released to the public. All right. And they're not good tapes for the Carlson program. The second thing
00:43:34.020
was last night on 60 minutes, Ray Epps, you may remember that name said to the audience,
00:43:41.300
Tucker Carlson ruined my life and my family's life by accusing me of having some kind of provocative
00:43:48.740
role in the January 6th riots at the Capitol. That was setting Epps up for a massive lawsuit against
00:43:59.220
Fox news and, uh, Tucker Carlson. So that's three lawsuits we know about. And there'll be more by
00:44:06.900
shareholders who are angry about the $800 million settlement. And they're going to go after the
00:44:12.660
Murdochs and the board of directors faced with that. The board of directors said, we got to start cleaning
00:44:22.100
this up. So Dan Bongino was the first domino to fall, even though he wasn't involved with the
00:44:29.940
Dominion thing, they couldn't get to a contract settlement with him. He's gone. And then Carlson,
00:44:36.420
because of the impending litigation was harpooned this morning. Carson didn't know. I mean, it wasn't
00:44:45.620
like it was a discussion. Same thing with Lemon at CNN. He didn't know that just happened. And that's,
00:44:51.140
uh, the nature of television news, the most wicked industry in the United States of America.
00:44:59.860
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Thanks for showing that. And listen,
00:45:04.180
Bill O'Reilly obviously has connections and sources at Fox, but I don't believe, uh, those explanations.
00:45:11.300
For one thing, uh, that Ray Epps obviously was a provocateur. He's on tape saying,
00:45:17.060
we storm, we go in that he completely was the question is what is he, or is he not an FBI agent?
00:45:25.300
The FBI won't really answer. They're very mystical about the whole thing. They won't
00:45:29.220
explain why they didn't arrest him. I think that everything Fox and every other commentator said
00:45:38.500
the point about other looming lawsuits, first of all, I don't think Tucker was the main promoter of
00:45:46.500
some of these theories about dominion voting, but even if he was firing someone today, isn't going to
00:45:55.220
get the company off the hook for a legal problem that happened two years ago. In fact, if anything,
00:46:02.260
it'll make it harder to defend because is Tucker going to be as cooperative with Fox news as he
00:46:08.020
would have been if he were still there. I don't buy the explanation by Bill O'Reilly. I mean, if someone
00:46:14.820
does something wrong legally and I don't think Tucker has, I don't know about this recording,
00:46:20.020
this tape that they're referring to, um, that doesn't stop being a problem. If you fire someone,
00:46:27.300
what they did is what they did. I mean, how you, uh, I don't know. I just, I just,
00:46:34.980
I don't believe it. I think that's an attempt to make it look like Tucker was screwing up. I think
00:46:40.740
that's someone leaking rumors against Tucker, leaking it to Bill O'Reilly. I mean,
00:46:50.500
I don't know if Bill O'Reilly and Tucker were friends. They were certainly competitors. So I,
00:46:54.340
I do not believe that. Now the Vanity Fair has a story today saying it was a Christian commentary
00:47:04.660
that Tucker Carlson gave at a prayer talk. Let me read a little bit of it. Tucker Carlson's prayer
00:47:10.820
talk may have led to Fox news ouster. That stuff freaks Rupert out, Rupert Murdoch. Fox Corp chair Rupert
00:47:17.540
Murdoch is said to have balked at Carlson's remarks in a Friday night speech, driving another theory
00:47:24.100
about the primetime star's abrupt exit. He doesn't like all the spiritual talk said a source. Now,
00:47:31.140
does Vanity Fair have a good source in Fox news? I don't know. Could be. Um, they say that the Murdoch
00:47:38.660
family was the template for the dysfunctional billionaire media family in the, um, HBO show
00:47:46.100
called succession. Uh, Olivia Efron, do you guys watch succession at all? I've started watching it and
00:47:54.980
my reaction to the first episode was every single person in it was awful. The dad was awful. The mom
00:48:04.020
was awful. The brothers were awful. The sister was awful. The other brother, the cousin, they were all
00:48:09.300
the worst people in the world fighting over who gets to inherit the company when dad kicks the bucket.
00:48:18.260
And in this case, and there he is, dad, in this case, uh, played a Scottish media mogul, Rupert Murdoch,
00:48:25.700
of course, the Australian media mogul. And they, they changed a few things, but they didn't change that
00:48:31.300
much. All the different wives that the dad had all the political scandals they had instead of Fox news,
00:48:38.660
they had ATN and, uh, just absolutely atrocious people. And I, I mean, normally you watch a show,
00:48:47.380
you like to root for somebody, but don't you think like you, you want to see a hero and a villain?
00:48:53.220
I know we're not hardwired that way. We want someone to cheer for in a team. You typically don't
00:48:58.340
watch a ball game if you hate both teams, right? I mean, I guess you could if you like the sport so
00:49:04.820
much, but, um, I've, I've watched the whole, uh, uh, series and, um, you just learn to hate them all.
00:49:15.060
And you just love to see them wound each other. They're so, and I, this is just a credit to the
00:49:19.460
writing. Like there's some amazing episodes, like when the, uh, Kendall Roy, uh, is alone and hurt and
00:49:28.340
upset, but he's a billionaire. So he throws himself the most over the top spendy birthday
00:49:35.700
party that anyone has ever seen. And it was so self-indulgent and so wasteful. And it's, if you
00:49:43.940
gave a child a hundred million dollars for a birthday, what would that birthday party look like?
00:49:49.540
And I, it was just so incredibly done. Uh, it's, it's a hell of a show if I may say so.
00:49:55.620
And I, it's, it's actually the only show I watch. I wait every week for a new edition to come out
00:50:01.060
and they're almost done. New episode to come out. Um, you love to hate them. And I, I think
00:50:09.300
that, well, I, I know it was modeled after the paradox and Fox news. Um, let me read a little bit
00:50:16.580
more from this vanity fair story. 24 hours after Fox news ousted its highest rated host, the network
00:50:24.100
has yet to explain one of the most shocking defenestrations in cable news history. I'm not
00:50:29.140
going beyond the release of Fox news spokeswoman texted yesterday when I asked her for comment
00:50:35.700
and this information void multiple theories about why Fox fired Carlson circulated in the media.
00:50:41.540
It was followed from the $787 million Dominion settlement punishment for vulgar text messages
00:50:48.900
published in Dominion court filings or a consequence of former Fox producer, Abby Grossberg's lawsuit,
00:50:54.260
which alleged Carlson oversaw a hostile work environment. Fox news has vowed to vigorously
00:50:59.620
defend the company against for Grossberg's unmeritorious legal claims. By the way, I learned
00:51:04.500
yesterday that Abby Grossberg never actually met Tucker Carlson and didn't work in the office. So I'm not
00:51:10.100
quite sure, uh, how he fostered that environment, but we'll see in the court. And that comes back to
00:51:15.540
my point. Let's say all those things about Tucker were correct. All the allegations were true. Firing
00:51:22.180
him. I mean, I, I guess it's a way of saying we don't want this problem anymore, but it's not, uh,
00:51:27.780
a time machine that can undo, uh, problems that have already occurred. Anyways, let me say this about
00:51:34.180
Tucker. I was, I was talking to a Quebec, uh, radio show about it this morning. I learned, uh,
00:51:40.500
I think it was the wall street journal that published that, uh, you know how much Tucker was
00:51:44.340
making a year? Olivia, I heard it was 20 million, which is a lot of dough. Uh, I mean, that's a lot
00:51:54.660
of money. And I, um, and I understand he was renegotiating and he, it was probably being negotiated up,
00:52:00.020
right? Um, and then there's perks. I mean, they would be paying, they would be paying his security.
00:52:06.340
They would be paying other things. 20 million bucks. Do you think that he could get a million
00:52:16.740
subscribers if he set up a channel of his own somewhere, whether it was on rumble or with Glenn
00:52:27.380
Beck's organization or with daily wire, he would never go on YouTube because YouTube is,
00:52:34.900
is beholden to a big pharma and Tucker's at odds with them. But, um, do you doubt that Tucker could get
00:52:44.900
one million people to sign up for 10 bucks a month? And if you do the math on that,
00:52:53.700
that's a hundred million, $120 million a year, even if you only got half a million people to sign up.
00:53:00.340
And I think he could. Now he would need someone who was taking care of the business infrastructure,
00:53:07.220
but there's a lot of people who could do that. Like I say, you could join an existing operation,
00:53:11.700
daily wire, Glenn Beck, the teeth that come to mind. You could go straight to rumble. They would
00:53:15.620
do a deal for you. Like Steven Crowder has done with them. I think that Tucker from a money point
00:53:23.860
of view could wake, make well more than 20 million. Um, and I think that if he were to join and create
00:53:34.980
his own organization, it would be very large and he would have complete freedom. The only thing he
00:53:41.940
would lose would be access to the cable subscribers who get Fox. But how many people are watching Fox
00:53:50.500
on their cable TV, as opposed to clips on the internet? Remember Fox was moving towards a
00:53:56.020
subscription service called Fox nation. That's where they, their Canada documentary was going to run.
00:54:00.420
I think that Tucker's actually going to be bigger than he was because I think that
00:54:14.340
Fox is beholden to the cable news model. They were trying to get offered by digital subscription.
00:54:19.460
I think if Tucker went digital only and really pushed to sell, pushed his customers to subscribe,
00:54:29.140
I think, I mean, I don't even, I don't even think he's really motivated by money. I suppose
00:54:34.100
everyone's motivated by money. If you have children, you want to leave them as much money as you can,
00:54:38.900
I suppose. So I'm not saying he's not motivated by money. Um, but I don't think that's his primary
00:54:44.420
mission in life. And even if it was, I think he's, he's achieved it. I mean, the guy who's making 20
00:54:49.060
million bucks a year, that, that adds up pretty quickly. There's only so much you can spend.
00:54:53.780
I saw it at the corner of my eye. Uh, the daily mail had a video of him just puttering around.
00:54:59.460
I think he lives, I think he's got two homes, one, uh, I think in Maine and one in Florida.
00:55:04.740
Uh, someone posted, uh, Tyler Carden, in fact, of, of GB news posted a clip from the daily mail.
00:55:14.820
Um, I guess that's him on his little golf cart tootling by
00:55:24.180
in, uh, in Florida. So it looks like he's doing okay, taking some downtime, staying
00:55:30.580
normal and healthy. And why not? Uh, I hear that he's going to have his contract paid out.
00:55:35.620
So, I mean, of course, I mean, you're not going to fire Tucker Carlson for cause. You're just going to
00:55:43.860
fire him. So he, he can make a move whenever he wants. He's probably waiting, thinking. I see some
00:55:54.660
people saying he should run for president. I don't think that's a good idea. I think that
00:56:00.740
his talents are as a broadcaster, analyst, reporter, commentator,
00:56:06.820
running for public office is a completely different skill set and temperament and lifestyle.
00:56:14.100
You're on the road every day. Um, you have to like, it's, it's a very much a grassroots
00:56:23.140
one-on-one project. I mean, how many hands do you have to shake? How many people do you have to talk to?
00:56:27.540
How many small towns do you have to crisscross? It's a different
00:56:32.420
activity, different lifestyle, different, uh, routine. And, um, it's not for everyone. I think
00:56:38.340
Tucker is made for TV and he would, it would be madness for him to leave. And by the way,
00:56:42.500
you run for president, you're not making 20 million bucks a year. I'll tell you that.
00:56:48.260
It'll be very exciting to see where he ends up next. I think the Daily Wire, which apparently made
00:56:53.700
a $50 million offer to Steven Crowder, it would not surprise me if they made a $150 million offer
00:57:02.900
to Tucker Carlson. Um, because Tucker Carlson could earn that. Absolutely. And I think Glenn Beck
00:57:10.500
could make a similar offer. And what they could say to him is, look, we already have the infrastructure.
00:57:15.140
We already have the staff. We already have the streaming, this and that. We already, you don't
00:57:20.260
have to hire a team. You could bring your core editorial team, but we're going to give you all
00:57:25.220
the other stuff. And you know, both, both of those companies, Daily Wire and Glenn Beck, you know,
00:57:33.140
they believe in free speech. They live it. It'd be very interesting. Um,
00:57:41.620
are there any more super chats? I thought I would check.
00:57:45.860
Nope. All right. Well, listen, it's almost two o'clock Eastern 12 noon mountain time. I hope you're
00:57:50.980
following Sheila Gunn-Reed on her live tweets today. Let's end. Is that an ad? Is that a Sheila ad?
00:57:56.660
Yeah, let's just take a look at this, uh, preview for one of. Okay. We'll go out on this. I'll say
00:58:05.620
goodbye to you now. Thanks very much for joining today. Thanks for the super chats. I appreciate it.
00:58:10.260
And, um, tune in tonight for my interview with the premier Peckford. I think you'll like it.
00:58:14.740
He's such a colorful character as many Newfoundlanders are. Uh, he's got a gift of the gab and a great sense
00:58:19.940
of humor and he's smart as a tech. And you know what? You would think he's a lawyer. His command of the
00:58:24.660
law is so sharp. He's, I don't even think he's a lawyer. I think he's just a layman
00:58:28.340
who loves the law and helped draft it until tonight on behalf of all of us here at rebel
00:58:34.580
world headquarters to you at home. Goodbye and keep fighting for freedom. Now the public order
00:58:41.060
emergency commission, however, ultimately found that the government's use of the law was justified,
00:58:46.340
but the more we actually see the evidence, the less that finding seems to be compatible with known
00:58:51.380
reality. Like these text messages I'm about to show you here between Tyler Meredith,
00:58:56.900
a policy advisor in the prime minister's office, Alex Lawrence, the director of communications
00:59:01.220
for the deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland and the minister of finance and Faris Nathu,
00:59:06.580
an issues manager in the prime minister's office. It's a panicked text exchange about something
00:59:13.140
bizarre. The prime minister said, look at this, send you an email. We need to counter propose
00:59:17.700
something quickly because there be a pretty out there comment from the prime minister.
00:59:22.100
I suppose this could probably be an evergreen text exchange because Chirdo says some pretty
00:59:27.380
out there stuff every single day, doesn't he? Let's keep going. Need feedback ASAP to which
00:59:33.220
someone replies, I would cut that first line. We don't know that as in the first line was completely
00:59:37.940
made up, but there's more. This text message exchange involves those first three political staffers,
00:59:45.060
but they brought in someone else, Shannon Zimmerman, the director of operations for the
00:59:48.660
prime minister's office. These four now are busy fact checking the prime minister on his wild claims
