Alexa and I talk about the truck convoy, Russia, and why we won't be broadcasting on YouTube for the rest of the show, and how you can support the work that we do on other platforms. We also talk about why we don't want to be on YouTube any longer.
00:22:35.080But this is what Justin Trudeau has mandated for them.
00:22:37.900And it's also the same going the other way.
00:22:39.900So a lot of these Canadian truckers who are protesting in Canada are showing support for their American trucking friends who are in the same boat.
00:23:14.560A couple of years ago, we had a convoy of trucks roll out of Alberta all the way to Ottawa in support of Canadian pipelines.
00:23:22.560And then there were sort of smaller convoys happening all across the prairies.
00:23:28.460And so that like honking is music to my ears.
00:23:31.900But last night I was in Edmonton and there were probably 2000 people there to greet the truckers and to give the ones that were leaving from the Edmonton area a send off.
00:23:44.860And I will tell you, the mainstream media did show up.
00:23:48.080They sent two camera crews that you can tell they're from the mainstream media because of their overly expensive cameras that don't do anything more than my cell phone.
00:23:56.380And then they stand way back on the road wearing masks outside by themselves because they're the mainstream media.
00:24:05.780And so they stand out on the road by themselves and they did not set foot inside the rally to actually talk to a single person about why they were there.
00:24:17.560They didn't bother to knock on a cab of a truck and talk to a trucker.
00:24:58.220So they probably should join and ask questions to them.
00:25:01.980But I think the mainstream media doesn't want to show what they have to say because that can change a narrative for some viewer that they have.
00:25:12.540So they prefer to stay away, take some shots, and afterwards they can create their own story because they don't have any telling health or material to show.
00:25:25.280Yeah, that's exactly what happened with BC.
00:25:27.760They had to change their story after the fact.
00:25:30.780But initially they wrote, oh, they're protesting road conditions.
00:25:36.560People are like, yeah, no, they're not.
00:25:38.760So then they're like, oh, no, there was two separate groups of truckers, and these guys were protesting road conditions, and these guys were protesting vaccine mandates.
00:25:47.300And I thought that's really interesting that you thought even if that second or if that first convoy even existed, it's interesting that that was the one that you chose to cover, by the way.
00:25:57.840And on this article about the maintenance of the truck, you know, the lack of maintenance, I took the picture, I looked at the picture, and the third truck was wearing in the front of the truck.
00:26:36.080AD, I don't know if you can go to my Twitter feed.
00:26:38.240And we had just a video of maybe one-third of the people that converged on the truck stop west of Edmonton last night.
00:26:48.220I had to climb a snowbank just so I can get footage of everything.
00:26:53.400And it was, like, three times as much by the time the truckers finally got there because they were delayed DOT, so Department of Transportation, opened some scales and slowed them down.
00:27:07.600So they had to go in through the weigh scales and have all their log books checked before they could go on.
00:27:12.180But this is – you can see all the cars.
00:27:13.880Those are people who've driven in to show support, all the truckers in the background.
00:27:48.640People showed up with food for the truckers, soup.
00:27:52.840A mom and her kids were bringing – they had cookies that they had brought for the truckers with a little note thanking them for taking the time to go all the way to Ottawa to defend the future of our country.
00:28:07.160It was just – it was really heartwarming to see.
00:28:10.200And nobody there really was, like – I mean, I'm sure there are.
00:28:13.960There's always people like that in every crowd.
00:28:15.760But there were not, like, rabid anti-vaxxers.
00:28:19.160These were just people who were saying, no, we just don't believe in the coercion.
00:28:23.340Whatever side of the argument you fall down on, it doesn't matter.
00:28:27.260This is between you and your doctor, your family, whoever, not you and your government and a border guard.
00:30:38.440These little kids had brought their little Power Wheels truck and they had put their like Go Truckers sign on the back and they were driving around their little electric truck.
00:32:53.820Yeah, some of the truckers are saying some of them are saying they're staying until the mandates are lifted.
00:33:00.020Some of them are going to have to come home and some of them are carrying on.
00:33:03.820So it'd be interesting to see how that shakes out.
00:33:06.820But I think to your point, this is the first real national movement against the mandates.
00:33:13.500There have been, you know, restaurants that opened up in Alberta and there are have been churches that opened up in Alberta and gyms that opened up in BC and and freedom protests and curfew breakers in Quebec.
00:33:26.740But this is the first time that it has been from all provinces, people joining together to fight the vaccine mandates for truckers.
00:33:38.340But I mean, this is really as we were talking in the live stream meeting this morning, this is about the middle class getting squeezed out.
00:33:48.640And so the power is concentrating at the elite level and the middle class were just supposed to shut up and do what they tell us.
00:33:56.320And I know a little thing or two about truckers and they're not inclined to go.
00:34:03.280You don't get into long haul trucking because you want somebody over your shoulder telling you what to do all the time, by the way.
00:34:09.680But the middle class, if they are not rising and standing up right now, they would transfer on the lower class.
00:34:20.920It's you talk, you stand up or you close your mouth and you comply.
00:34:27.200But if you do it, you will live with the consequences that will like be will be there for years and years and years and years and years, probably for the rest of our life.
00:34:39.380So, yeah, you took the decision to stand up, to change the thing and to decide that your future need to be better of what is going on right now.
00:35:22.120And so, we had our team out there late, late, late last night, like midnight and later or earlier, depending on what side of the day you're on.
00:35:33.900Our team in Calgary were in the air this morning in a helicopter flying around the skies of Calgary early, early morning to catch the trucks where they were staged and to watch them pull out.
00:35:51.100Mocha Bisergen, he's embedded on the convoy to tell you the other side of the story because you're definitely not going to get the truth of the convoy in the mainstream media.
00:36:43.140So, if you want to help out, go ahead and pitch in.
00:36:46.800It's at convoyreports.com because otherwise, all you're going to hear is the mainstream media on this instead of actually from the truckers on the ground.
00:36:58.140And they will probably try to discredit them and say that.
00:37:14.740And I can't wait till an avocado goes up to $10 a piece because maybe the like pro five booster people, they'll get mugged by the reality of what a trucker means in the supply chain and what they mean to the cost of your favorite exotic food from the United States and Mexico.
00:37:38.520When your favorite trendy millennial food goes sky high, maybe they'll realize what these mandates are doing.
00:38:04.680He was out last night to meet and greet the truckers to offer them some food because they had left very, very early the very same day from BC.
00:38:45.980But it's the first time I actually have seen the history that all Canada, all Canada, all together, like, you know, like, sometimes it's all the French, all the English.
00:39:03.320And now it's like, oh, everybody is in the same problem and we are all together and we love each other and we support each other.
00:39:11.800I think it's been a while that I didn't see that.
00:39:49.920He said, this is my first load back in Canada in I don't know how long because I normally haul back and forth.
00:39:56.660But he said, I'm too unclean to cross the border.
00:40:01.260So now I'm hauling medical supplies to hospitals.
00:40:05.100I'm like, oh, OK, so you're too unclean to cross the border, but you're just perfectly fine to handle medical supplies, going hospital to hospital.
00:40:31.260That's how we'd get Justin Trudeau to close the road.
00:40:34.420Now, we should sign off of YouTube because I feel like I'm getting dangerously close to jeopardizing the company's YouTube channel.
00:40:42.840And like I always say, I always thought it would be David Menzies that gets the YouTube channel nuked instead of me.
00:40:49.540So let's sign off of YouTube and invite our YouTube viewers to join us on the other platforms so that we can continue these dangerous conversations over there.
00:40:58.320And Mr. Producer will let me know when we're clear.
00:41:07.260Now, on other news over the weekend, Rebel News teams were, well, really, we were covering worldwide freedom protests literally around the world.
00:41:16.840We have a footprint in Australia and in the UK and then all across Canada.
00:41:23.440And in Toronto, the Toronto police operations, they described the worldwide freedom protests as anti-vax and anti-mask.
00:41:39.620And that leads me to believe that this is political policing and not actual policing because these people are really not, by and large, anti-vaccine or anti-mask.
00:41:53.500They're anti-government making you do either one of those things.
00:41:56.920And so they sent out this tweet saying, Queens Park legislature building, 2 p.m.
00:42:04.340People gathered to protest anti-vax, anti-mask.
00:42:09.540And as Ezra points out, they're political activists running errands for politicians spreading political propaganda.
00:42:16.320They've put their politics ahead of the Police Services Act.
00:42:19.220And, yeah, this guy points out you're spreading misinformation, claiming it is anti-vax, anti-mask.
00:42:25.180It's for freedom of choice and against mandates, coercion and lockdown.
00:42:28.500But I guess we don't have to guess where the Toronto police come down on this issue because how many times do we have to sue them for assaulting our guys as they're covering these protests?
00:42:42.180They've been political enforcers from the very beginning.
00:42:44.800They do the bidding of their political masters and that's it.
00:44:08.860He went out and he thought this was the tradeoff that if he did this, the lockdowns would end and the government would leave you alone.
00:44:16.940Now, normally, Jordan Peterson is a very smart man, but I don't think he was very smart on this issue because now he's come and seen the light of day.
00:44:26.300But his first mistake was trusting the government to uphold their end of the bargain.
00:44:29.480And so now he is so against mandates and coercion.
00:44:34.740And he's actually even come out and said, you know, like, I feel stupid for trusting the government on this issue.
00:44:40.720And that's a lot of the same sentiment of the people at these protests where they say, I did my part.
00:44:47.600Why isn't the government doing theirs now?
00:44:52.500Drop the masks and the idiot rules and get on with life today.
00:44:55.060I don't know if you maybe, can you bring it up?
00:45:01.140This is not exactly on the worldwide freedom protest thing, but can you bring up Jason Kenney's tweet about the trucker mandates?
00:45:09.260Because I want to talk about that for a second.
00:45:11.460So over the weekend, Jason Kenney, Premier Jason Kenney, and he said this a couple of times, that he's against the vaccine mandates for truckers.
00:45:43.860So it would be really nice if Jason Kenney would also go to bat for some of the other major players in the trucking industry out here in Alberta.
00:46:01.580But for the same reason, for the same reason, you should drop it for everybody.
00:46:06.380I would like the guys in trucking after a long day of hauling stuff to be able to go and have a beer in a bar with their friends.
00:46:16.980But because they are unvaccinated or unwilling to participate in the biomedical police state that is the vaccine passport system, they don't get to go.
00:46:25.340So even if you drop the VAX mandate for truckers federally, Jason Kenney's own government is enforcing a VAX mandate for our truckers to go and unwind or for anybody to go and unwind.
00:46:38.980And nobody gets the hypocrisy in all of this?
00:47:13.660What we can see so far, it's our supply, it's coming low and low.
00:47:21.200We can see like you have some hole in all the place in the shop.
00:47:25.160So I think it would be getting worse and worse and worse if they don't drop this mandate because I'm not sure that the trucker will actually comply.
00:47:51.060And I'm sure the produce problem is directly related to truckers who are not able to cross the border doing those heavy haul, long haul trips from California and Mexico with our produce.
00:48:27.000Now, one thing we were talking about in the Skype planning meeting was what's happening in Quebec because your vaccine mandate is set to roll out to hit big box stores.
00:48:52.060So you cannot go to, like, Canadian Tire, I think, Staple, all the big, big stores that is 1,500 square meters.
00:49:04.340You cannot enter if you are not vaccinated.
00:49:06.800So right now, I know that Costco have a hard issue because of their membership card.
00:49:13.960Everybody is calling to cancel it and get a refund.
00:49:17.500And so I have someone who sent me over a discussion that I had in the phone with an employee who say that now, since they have the vaccine passport and they have some issue with the customer, you have the power to hand up the phone any time that it wants to.
00:49:35.420So what the employees say that you need to write a letter to Costco to ask for their refund for their member card.
00:49:46.700And as well, if you go and show up at the Costco, I think you will be escorted to the place by some people who work there to ask for your refund.
00:49:59.080So you cannot ask, you cannot enter freely inside.
00:50:03.240And for all you call it for the tool and the construction tool, hardware shop, hardware.
00:50:13.420So some of them say, no, we are, we don't want to comply to this.
00:50:20.520They wanted to, the businessman, the constructor people to be examined because it's a part of their job.
00:50:29.040If they are not getting their tool to do some constriction, they cannot still work.
00:50:35.180So I think they have been exempt for now, but, and especially because they were saying, but that is essential.
00:50:42.380If something broke inside of your house, you need to repair it.
00:50:45.680If you have like, I don't know, like, um, your, um, uh, toilet is broken and the water is getting floating, you need to, to go and, um, buy what you need to repair it.
00:50:58.800So as a lot of people were saying, but that is an essential shop.
00:51:02.460You cannot stop people to go, but they were saying that you have a smaller shop, but what's the point that everybody rushed to a smaller place where everybody would be like stuck together inside of a shop and the condemnation would be higher.
00:51:18.280Everybody would touch the thing and it's smaller.
00:51:20.720So everything doesn't make sense for, by the science, you know, if it's smarter, you get more people and the contagion is, is, is, is more close.
00:51:31.580So, so right now, um, not only you cannot smoke cannabis, you cannot buy cannabis, but you cannot buy alcohol.
00:51:40.520Um, and you cannot go to big store as Walmart where the grocery is cheaper.
00:51:58.140We need to go to small one that everything costs more because they are smaller shop.
00:52:04.020So it's not, everybody will be able to afford that.
00:52:08.160It's just, I, the, the, the middle class or the lower class would be more and more and more poor because they cannot afford.
00:52:17.020And fun fact, if you want to deliver some alcohol, you need to pay $12 for delivery every time that you want some.
00:52:27.040You can't even drown your sorrows about living in a biomedical police state.
00:52:31.220Um, that was my first response when I heard that the big box stores like Walmart and Costco were moving towards the vax passport system was that this becomes a punishment once again on the unvaccinated poor or the, the poor who do not want to participate in the biomedical police state.
00:52:53.180And it's because groceries are cheaper in Walmart than they are in your local boutique health food store.
00:53:00.500So the poor are the ones who are going to suffer from this.
00:53:04.160Not to mention, given the supply chain issues, you're cutting the people off from the grocery stores with the strongest supply chains.
00:53:15.720Walmart has a very strong supply chain.
00:53:17.900Costco has a very strong supply chain.
00:53:20.260I was saying in the meeting, our planning meeting, when hurricanes hit the United States, sometimes Walmart can get there quicker with water and supplies than FEMA can, than the American government, because their supply chains are stronger.
00:53:36.260They have warehouses that are more able to deploy things.
00:53:39.860So now you've got the poor who are being chased into boutique grocery stores where they can't afford the groceries.
00:53:48.760If the groceries are even there, what could possibly go wrong?
00:54:09.860It's going to be a boom for business in Ottawa as people just go across the river and get groceries where, you know, at least it's still legal to buy groceries as an unvaccinated person in a big box store.
00:55:27.300This is those, those pesky poor people and the people in the middle class.
00:55:31.460They're still not doing what we want them to do.
00:55:34.200So now we're going to cut them off from their favorite stores because we cut them off from sports, going out, alcohol, cannabis, going to the gym, eating inside with their friends.
00:55:46.260We cut them off from all those things and they still didn't listen to us.
00:55:51.120So now we have to cut them off from their favorite stores.
00:55:53.860And breaking at one, we know the strategy of the government to persuade the unvaccinated to get their first dose.
00:56:05.860What they can do more than what they have already done.
00:56:11.180They were actually talking to call and to reach every unvaccinated people in Quebec to know why they are, they have not taken the vaccine yet.
