Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hi everybody, Ezra Levant here. How are you doing? Great to be back in the chair here
00:00:18.380
as I do every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, although I think I missed on Friday. My friends Sheila
00:00:24.580
Gunn-Reed and David Mentes typically do the days I'm not here. It's one hour of live stream,
00:00:30.200
chatting, and we used to do something called Super Chats, which is where our viewers were
00:00:34.800
chipping some money, but then YouTube went and demonetized us. They never gave us an explanation
00:00:39.960
for why. They never pointed to a single video we did or anything of that sort. They just said,
00:00:45.840
we're going to cut you off, and that hurt us to the tune of about $400,000 a year, which of course,
00:00:51.400
if we didn't make it up through crowdfunding, would cause us to have to restrict something.
00:00:56.260
You know, you just can't take a whole lot of our budget like that. That would require us to
00:01:01.500
lay off staff or stop traveling to cover journalism, and I simply refused to do either of those things.
00:01:07.600
So thank God for you, our viewers, who helped us come through.
00:01:10.580
What that also did is that forced us to discover other alternatives. We still have not been banned
00:01:18.360
outright from YouTube, but we realized that that day is coming. I don't want to say goodbye to YouTube
00:01:23.520
just yet because we have 1.46 million subscribers there, and I don't want YouTube to come between us.
00:01:29.420
So we still do post things on YouTube, and right now we have 500 people watching on YouTube. It's great
00:01:35.700
to see you, but we're exploring other forums. For example, right now, this very second, we have over
00:01:43.080
1,000 people watching on Rumble.com, and I always find that puzzling because we have only like 50 or 60,000
00:01:51.780
subscribers to our Rumble channel. That tells me that YouTube is throttling us. I mean, if we have
00:01:59.060
not even 5% the number of subscribers on Rumble as we do on YouTube, and yet we have double the
00:02:07.380
number of live stream viewers, that tells me that YouTube's throttling us. So it's great to be on
00:02:11.740
Rumble too, and thanks everybody for joining there. We're also on a cool site called Odyssey. I like
00:02:19.240
Odyssey. It's very high tech. It's got a really nice user interface. They also are crypto-based. They have
00:02:25.840
a cryptocurrency called Library that is, it strengthens their site in a number of ways,
00:02:34.160
including making it harder to delete. And finally, we are with the newest online platform,
00:02:41.800
a Canadian platform called SuperU.net. And what I like about SuperU is that they are a free speech
00:02:49.520
platform. And we have 34 people there, and I understand that they're introducing tips. They
00:02:59.020
have a chat section, obviously, but I understand, I haven't seen one yet, but I understand that folks
00:03:06.160
can make a tip, can actually chip in to sort of like those YouTube super chats were.
00:03:16.160
All right. So hello to people watching on all four of our platforms. It's a pleasure as always.
00:03:21.240
There is so much news that's gone on. It's unbelievable. So much happened over the weekend.
00:03:27.000
I've got a show tonight I'm really looking forward to. It's called Canada's Worst Cop.
00:03:34.540
And boy, that's a tough competition. I start off by reminding people that there are some great cops
00:03:40.000
out there, and there are cops who have actually given their lives to save the rest of us. So
00:03:43.780
I want people to know there is such a thing as Canada's best cop. Unfortunately, for the last 15
00:03:49.920
months, we've seen the worst. And tonight, I give out the award for the person that I believe is
00:03:56.680
Canada's worst cop. So that'll be on the show at 8 p.m. Eastern time. I think we'll probably excerpt
00:04:03.380
at least some of that on YouTube and our other channels. I think we're now posting all of our
00:04:10.920
videos on all these platforms. Is that right? I think we are. Yeah. But there's a lot of things I
00:04:18.420
was following over the weekend. And one of them actually is the most hopeful thing that I've seen
00:04:25.020
in a fair while. It's the creation of a new TV station in the United Kingdom. And I don't just mean a
00:04:35.020
YouTube channel. I mean an actual TV station on the television. Traditional style TV. Now, it's also
00:04:43.240
online. It's also on an app. I've downloaded the app and it's great. And it's called GB News.
00:04:53.800
The GB standing for Great Britain. And they really emphasize that because the BBC and the B there is
00:05:00.680
British. The BBC hates Britain. It just does. They call the flag racist. They support the take a knee
00:05:09.480
thing, even though that's an American shtick imported to the UK. The BBC is completely offside
00:05:19.440
with the people on issues like Brexit, for example. It's probably 90% of people on the BBC were
00:05:26.760
for remaining in the European Union, whereas the majority of Brits wanted out. So this GB News was
00:05:33.300
launched last night. And they have some interesting talent. I know one or two of them. But the boss of
00:05:41.760
the thing, his name is Andrew Neil. And I don't know, maybe you've heard me say this. I think he is the
00:05:47.860
best journalist in the English language. I've seen him in action. The first time I ever saw him was
00:05:54.860
when he did a video about the Bataclan terrorist attack. Did we ever show that? I just came across this
00:06:01.460
guy. Do you think you can find that maybe on YouTube or something? Andrew Neil Bataclan, B-A-T-A-C-L-A-N.
00:06:10.740
That was the horrific terrorist attack in Paris, where they went to a sort of a music club, a nightclub,
00:06:19.780
and just slaughtered people. And it was shocking. I actually went over there.
00:06:26.820
And I came across this guy in a gorgeous Scottish accent, just sending it. And I thought, who is this
00:06:39.140
guy? I mean, you've got it there? Let's play just a minute of it. This is the first time I ever
00:06:46.100
And all welcome to this week, the week in which a bunch of loser jihadists slaughtered 132
00:06:52.180
innocents in Paris to prove the future belongs to them, rather than a civilisation like France.
00:07:00.180
Well, I can't say I fancy their chances. France, the country of Descartes, Boulay,
00:07:05.300
Monet, Sartre, Rousseau, Camus, Renoir, Berlioz, Cézanne, Gauguin, Hugo, Voltaire, Matisse, Debussy,
00:07:13.300
Ravel, Sansong, Bizet, Satie, Pasteur, Molière, Frank, Zola, Balzac, Polonk, Cutting Edge Science,
00:07:22.740
World Class Medicine, Fearsome Security Forces, Nuclear Power, Coco Chanel, Chateau Lafitte,
00:07:29.780
Coco Van, Daft Punk, Zizou Zidane, Juliette Binoche, Liberty, Egality Fraternity, and Creme Brulee.
00:07:39.300
Versus what? Beheadings, crucifixions, amputations, slavery, mass murder, medieval squalor,
00:07:48.740
a death cult barbarity that would shame the Middle Ages. Well, IS, or Daesh, or ISIS, or ISIL,
00:07:56.180
or whatever name you're going by, I'm sticking with IS, as in Islamist scumbags. I think the outcome
00:08:02.580
is pretty clear to everybody but you. Whatever atrocities you're currently capable of committing,
00:08:09.060
you will lose. In a thousand years' time, Paris, that glorious city of lights,
00:08:15.940
will still be shining bright, as will every other city like it, while you will be as dust,
00:08:23.060
along with a ragbag of fascists, Nazis, and Stalinists that have previously dared to challenge democracy,
00:08:32.740
Huh! I saw that, and I thought, who is this guy? And he's got such a style to him.
00:08:40.740
That guy's name is Andrew Neal. And I was hooked immediately. I thought, he knows a lot, so he's got
00:08:48.660
the intelligence and the sophistication and the intellectual horsepower of anyone, but he's got
00:08:54.900
a plain spokenness of few people. And I think that he was always not quite in place on channels like
00:09:06.740
the BBC. And so he retired recently, and I thought, come on, are you retiring? You got so many more rounds
00:09:13.780
left in you. And he's affiliated with the Spectator magazine. And I saw him on Twitter,
00:09:20.980
because he would punch a bit on Twitter, but I thought, my God, you were being underutilized.
00:09:25.300
Like, I really think, and I mean, that was just, I just wanted to show you the first time I encountered
00:09:29.860
him. Because so many in the West were, oh, mew, mew, mew, and there's Andrew Neal just sending it.
00:09:35.140
And anyway, I followed a lot of his interviews. Oh my God, his interview on Jeremy Corbyn,
00:09:42.580
on the anti-Semitism in that party, was like watching a lawyer in a cross-examination.
00:09:48.340
You know what? Can you dig up one more thing? Andrew Neal, Boris Johnson. Holy moly. That's
00:09:56.180
the thing about Andrew Neal. I'd call him centrist, maybe one percent to the right. But the main thing
00:10:02.980
to know about him is that he's a great interviewer. And he does his research, again, so well,
00:10:08.500
like a lawyer in a cross-examination. So he just absolutely shredded Jeremy Corbyn. In fact,
00:10:13.860
once he got the Boris Johnson thing, I'd love to show a bit of that Corbyn thing.
00:10:18.340
The best interviewer, the toughest, the smartest. I became jealous that only Brits could follow this
00:10:25.140
guy. But of course, on the internet, anyone could follow him. Yeah, it's an interview with Boris Johnson.
00:10:31.700
And Boris Johnson tries to baffle gab his way through things. But Andrew Neal was better prepared.
00:10:38.420
They're talking about like some section in some statute. And Boris Johnson didn't know what it was.
00:10:45.140
But Andrew Neal did. I don't know if you can find that one. Yeah, just play. Just literally put it
00:10:51.380
halfway through and just click play. Because it's just so good. Any part of it's good.
00:10:55.220
Because as Prime Minister, doing that could cost lives. Well, as I say, I reject entirely the
00:11:03.780
assertion that anything I said made things worse. And indeed, I think that any attempt by others to
00:11:10.580
point the finger of blame at the UK government. Nobody is doing that.
00:11:13.940
Well, you are. I'm not doing that. I'm trying to work out if you made it worse. There's a volatile
00:11:22.500
It is a dangerous place. Our ships are under attack. The Royal Navy has had to be mobilized.
00:11:28.580
That's absolutely right. All the more reason to be firm with Iran.
00:11:32.420
And not to inculpate ourselves. And as it were, to assume blame for situations where the Iranians
00:11:40.020
are themselves... No one's doing it. You go off again at a tangent to avoid answering the question.
00:11:44.340
The issue is this. Loose lips cost ships. And you have loose lips, Mr. Johnson.
00:11:52.180
When it comes to what's happening, if you're asking a serious question about what's happening in the
00:11:59.140
person, go. All right. It's a long interview. There was just one moment where Boris Johnson
00:12:03.140
says, what about section 6.8.2 or something? And Andrew Neil says, yeah, but what about 6.8.3?
00:12:09.940
I'm making up a number there. And Boris Johnson didn't actually... It was just gorgeous, gorgeous.
00:12:14.100
But you can see he's tough with Boris Johnson, the nominal conservative. Do you have the clip of him
00:12:20.260
with Jeremy Corbyn? Because that was like going to a butcher shop. And I just want to show you that
00:12:30.660
he's tough on politicians on any side. And he's so engaged and so prepared. He must spend days
00:12:38.100
of briefing himself in advance. Do we have just a clip of that, Jeremy Corbyn?
00:12:41.700
Corbyn? Okay. Yeah, just put it anywhere in there.
00:12:49.060
Temples and protect mosques. We will protect the cemeteries also. We will not allow anti-Semitism
00:12:55.940
in any form in our society, because it is poisonous and divisive just as much as Islamophobia
00:13:03.300
or far-right racism is. And I think we can agree on that.
00:13:07.060
Except that they don't trust you. They don't think your heart's in them.
00:13:11.940
They've seen you share platforms with some of the world's
00:13:16.500
violent anti-Semites. Andrew, when you say they, when you say they,
00:13:18.500
who do you mean? Many Jews. 80% of Jews think that you're anti-Semitic.
00:13:23.460
That's quite a lot of British Jews. I mean, wouldn't you like to take this opportunity tonight
00:13:29.220
to apologise to the British Jewish community for what's happened?
00:13:34.100
What I'll say is this. I am determined that our society will be safe for people of all faiths.
00:13:41.060
I don't want anyone to be feeling insecure in our society. And our government will protect
00:13:46.980
every community against the abuse they receive on the streets, on the trains, or in any other...
00:13:58.740
No, hang on a minute. Andrew, can I explain what we're trying to do?
00:14:02.660
You have, and you've been given plenty of time to do it. I asked you if you wanted to apologise.
00:14:06.820
Andrew, I don't want anyone to go through what anyone has gone through.
00:14:11.540
Anyways, the guy is a tiger, and you can understand why...
00:14:20.260
And credit to both Corbyn and Johnson to sitting down with him,
00:14:23.540
but other cabinet ministers are so terrified. Anyways, so this absolute bulldozer of a journalist,
00:14:30.180
who is scrupulously non-partisan. He's super smart, but he's got a plain touch. I mean,
00:14:37.140
I think he's the best journalist in the English language. I'm a bit of a fan. So he retired,
00:14:42.260
and I thought, what are you doing? You've got 10 years left, and you're maybe 20.
00:14:47.700
Like, why are you... As soon as he was on Twitter, I thought, gee, that's a waste. And he would do a few
00:14:52.340
YouTube things. And I thought, my God. And then I heard that he was being tasked with leading an
00:15:00.820
entirely new news network. And I'm talking big. Not just a small thing. Like an around-the-clock
00:15:09.540
shows every day, like even bigger than what Sun News Network was in Canada. And they put together a
00:15:17.700
great group of people, many backgrounds, a real focus on the regions in the UK, not just the
00:15:23.620
metropolitan fancies in the city. And last night, they debuted. And I have no stake in this other
00:15:29.060
than I'm a super fan. And I downloaded the app for free. You can watch it for free. And
00:15:34.260
there's this opening introduction by Andrew Neal that is so great. And yes, it's for British
00:15:43.300
audiences, and it's called GB News, Great Britain News. So you're probably saying, okay, Ezra, enough.
00:15:49.060
You're an Anglophile, whatever. Shut up. We heard you. No, no, no. I want you to hear this from Andrew
00:15:54.260
Neal and realize how applicable this is to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United States, any media,
00:16:03.220
anywhere. I'm jealous that they have this in the UK. In many ways, this is even more vigorous than
00:16:11.060
Fox News in America. Take a look. It's 8pm on Sunday, June the 13th, 2021. Welcome to the launch
00:16:18.180
of GB News, Britain's news channel dedicated to covering the news that matters to you and to
00:16:24.260
giving a voice to those who felt sidelined or even silenced in our great national debates.
00:16:30.020
Because if it matters to you, it matters to us. GB News will not slavishly follow the existing news
00:16:36.180
agenda. We're not a rolling news channel, nor will we be providing conventional news bulletins. But on
00:16:43.060
all of our programs and platforms, you'll always know what's going on and what the country is talking
00:16:48.820
about. We will broadcast news programs throughout the day that are appointments to view, built around
00:16:55.300
passionate presenters with character, flair, attitude, opinion, and yes, a sense of humor.
00:17:02.420
They will concentrate on the stories that matter to you and that others are neglecting. And even when
00:17:07.140
we're covering the same stories as others, we'll come at them in a very different way. We put together
00:17:13.220
a lineup of youth and experience of familiar faces and fresh ones. They come from all backgrounds and
00:17:19.460
all parts of our country too. Our team of national and regional reporters covering the whole of the UK
00:17:26.260
is the backbone of GB News, embedded in communities they know because that's where they hail from,
00:17:32.580
delivering the huge range of stories and voices that reflect the views and values of our United Kingdom.
00:17:39.460
What unites us is the firm belief that now is the time to do news differently. We are committed to covering
00:17:47.540
the people's agenda, not the media's agenda. We will not lecture you or talk down and nobody will be allowed
00:17:54.660
to Hector. Indeed, Hector has been banished from the studio. GB News will not be yet another echo chamber
00:18:01.860
for the metropolitan mindset that already dominates so much of our media. It is our explicit aim to empower
00:18:09.140
those who feel their stories, their opinions, their concerns have been ignored or diminished. We are
00:18:16.740
proud to be British. The clue is in the name. And while we will never hold back from covering our
00:18:23.220
country's many flaws and problems, we will not come at every story with the conviction that Britain is
00:18:29.380
always at fault, usually to blame when things go wrong, generally useless. We won't forget what the B stands for
00:18:37.860
in our title. We will cover the good news as well as the bad, because even in grim times there is much
00:18:44.180
that is great and uplifting to report and celebrate about our country. We will encourage debate and
00:18:51.300
conversation to include voices you don't often hear on other news broadcasts. We'll sometimes quote
00:18:57.540
controversy, but we want civilized discourse, not shouting matches, no matter how heated our discussions
00:19:04.100
become. And we like heated discussions, but we will always demand respect for opposing points of view.
00:19:10.740
We won't dwell much on the latest gossip of the Westminster bubble, which is too often obsessed
00:19:16.180
about matters of no importance to anybody else. We will puncture the pomposity of our elites in politics,
00:19:23.540
business, media and academia, and expose their growing promotion of cancel culture for the threat to free
00:19:30.820
speech and democracy. We will be more concerned with what will raise prosperity and create jobs in our
00:19:39.060
left-behind towns than what some overprivileged and ahistoric students decide to hang on their walls in
00:19:46.340
Oxford. Social mobility and a fair chance in life for all will matter more to us than the wasteland to
00:19:53.380
nowhere that is identity politics. And if you want fake news, lies, disinformation, distortion of the facts,
00:20:02.420
conspiracy theories, then GB News is not for you. Because in everything we do, we will be guided by the
00:20:10.260
highest journalistic standards, written into the contracts of everybody who works here at GB News. Robust,
00:20:17.780
even disputatious debate, of course. A much wider variety of voices than you currently hear in
00:20:23.380
broadcasting, certainly. But never the promotion of matters we know to be untrue or the pushing of
00:20:30.420
facts that are convenient to a viewpoint that may be convenient but not properly checked. And when we do
00:20:38.820
make mistakes, as we will, we will correct them quickly and without quibble. Along the way, we hope to have
00:20:45.460
fun. We hope you will too. GB News will aim to inform, inspire and entertain. We start the journey
00:20:54.100
tonight. We hope you'll join us. Because if it matters to you, it matters to us. I'm Andrew Neal,
00:21:01.220
and this is GB News. I don't know. I mean, obviously, he's talking about the UK, but could not everything he
00:21:09.780
said there apply to us here in Canada and to the United States and to Australia and to New Zealand
00:21:16.900
and to the West in general? I think he could. And maybe, I mean, listen, you can tell I'm a super fan
00:21:24.020
of his. But mainly it's just I saw this talent and then I don't know where the dough came from. I don't
00:21:30.820
know who the investors are. It was published somewhere, but I'm actually not even that interested.
00:21:35.620
Because they created this amazing thing and they just launched last night. Oh, and there's one more
00:21:40.500
detail. In its first night, it was the top rated news channel in the United Kingdom.
00:21:49.300
Now, maybe it's just the excitement, but still, in your debut night, you beat the BBC News channel
00:21:55.700
and Sky News on your first time out. Pretty impressive to me. Last point, I watched about an hour of it
00:22:03.780
yesterday on my app. The most, perhaps the most stunning thing were the ads. They had premium
00:22:12.340
blue chip ads and a lot of them, maybe it was just on the app, but so what? I mean, from even woke
00:22:21.140
companies like Amazon, for example, had an ad on them. I mean, that's a pretty woke left wing company.
00:22:29.780
So they're attracting mainstream ads. And it's funny because on Twitter, all the lefties in the UK
00:22:35.060
were saying, I'm going to boycott whatever advertisers are on there. They were saying that
00:22:38.660
before the channel even launched, by the way, which shows how close minded they were. But my point is,
00:22:44.020
good luck with that. They have some of the leading blue chip, you know, top 50 companies in the UK
00:22:52.340
advertising there. I didn't know all the brands because it was British brands I'm unfamiliar with.
00:22:58.180
But anyways, I just am thrilled with that. And I think it's proof that if there's a channel that has
00:23:07.620
regulatory fairness, it'll succeed on the populist right. I don't know if they have that full regulatory
00:23:16.100
fairness in the UK. I know they have something called Ofcom, which is like a version of our CRTC
00:23:23.380
or the American FCC, but it's more onerous than the FCC.
00:23:28.980
I know in Canada, Sun News Network was killed because of the regulator, the CRTC,
00:23:36.180
and the cable monopolies. So I hope that same fate does not befall GB News. And I'm glad that they're
00:23:43.380
so digital friendly. Like I say, you can watch the whole thing on your app. They're active on Twitter.
00:23:48.100
They're active on Instagram. I think they've got a real shot at it. Anyways, I know I sound like a
00:23:54.900
fanboy. I have no connection with them other than I am a fan. And obviously not everything they talk
00:24:01.380
about it will be of interest to people around the world. But I think a great number of the issues they
00:24:05.620
do talk about are of interest. In fact, I mean, not only are some British personalities interesting
00:24:10.660
to the whole world, like Nigel Farage was on last night. But for example, the taking a knee thing,
00:24:15.540
that's a real big deal with British footballers. That's what we call soccer. Like soccer is a huge,
00:24:21.460
it's a huge sport in the UK. And a lot of the woke clubs are taking a knee, even though that's an
00:24:29.780
Americanism. And so the fans who are very, very diehard are booing the taking a knee,
00:24:36.580
but they're not booing black players or anything like that. They just hate the Black Lives Matter
00:24:42.020
political party. And so the league is threatening to ban people and to dox people. And it's this real
00:24:50.580
battle. So that's something that's like, that's a common theme. A lot of the things that are
00:24:56.260
happening to us in Canada and the United States happening in the UK too. And it's exciting to see
00:25:00.980
this channel about them. Anyways, thank you for letting me tell you that. That's really just
00:25:05.860
something I found very interesting. So that was a good, the good news in my mind from the weekend.
00:25:13.220
Um, there was some terrible news on, I think it happened on Friday evening. Maxime Bernier had
00:25:21.460
landed in Manitoba as part of his anti-lockdown tour. Maxime Bernier, as you know, is the former
00:25:28.660
cabinet minister under Stephen Harper, the former independent MP. He broke away from the party under
00:25:36.980
Andrew Scheer. I always thought he should have just bit his tongue and stayed with Andrew Scheer,
00:25:41.540
who was doomed to fail. And then Bernier would be the obvious successor, but he didn't.
00:25:46.980
Anyways, he ran in the last election, um, under his own banner, the People's Party. And unfortunately,
00:25:53.380
in my view, he lost, he didn't win any seats and he lost his own seat. So now he is still the leader
00:25:59.700
of the party, but alas, he has no seats in parliament, which not only deprives him of a forum
00:26:04.500
and some standing and also deprives him of a budget, uh, and media coverage. The rest of the media has
00:26:10.740
basically decided that they're going to try and memory hole him and erase him and de-platform him,
00:26:18.020
which is surely made easier by the fact that, um, he's not in parliament anymore. Um,
00:26:24.660
anyway, so he was landing in Manitoba and both the premier and some local mayor said,
00:26:29.860
you're not welcome here, which is their opinion. And they can say that, but, um,
00:26:36.100
we're Canadian citizens and part of being a Canadian province is you're part of Canada.
00:26:40.500
And so you are open to other citizens. If you, uh, are looking for a legal authority for that,
00:26:46.900
I direct you to, I think it's section six of our, um, constitution, which gives us mobility rights.
00:26:56.020
Um, now, by the way, just, I'm seeing some tips. Is that from super chat? I mean, is that from super you?
00:27:03.460
Oh, that's great. So, um, okay. Got it. So anyways, I, uh, just folks, just FYI, Justin, uh, is working
00:27:12.980
hard there on, and I think Margaret's there too, on, um, the chat from the various four platforms we're on.
00:27:21.140
So let me just read a few. Uh, Binga sends one library. Happy chat. Shout out to Justin. So thank you for that, Justin.
00:27:31.380
Guitar. Arubal Ricciadio, truth is the new hate speech. Yeah, it's not the truth. On super you,
00:27:38.820
we got a tip from Vito Anthony D. Two bucks. Well, thank you for that. Another super you tip,
00:27:45.060
Annalisa, 10 bucks. It's working. The tip function's working, isn't it? That's great.
00:27:51.140
Uh, Belly Belly, two bucks. Despins V, 10 bucks. Vito Anthony D, another two bucks. KV1,
00:27:58.340
KV01, three bucks. P123 Galactic, $246. And another $1234. And Andre Z, two bucks. Well,
00:28:07.140
that's pretty cool. It's working. Super you tips are working. Well, hopefully that'll help replace the
00:28:13.540
$400,000 a year that, uh, YouTube took from us when they demonetized us. So a big thanks to our friends
00:28:19.860
at super you and congratulations to them for adding the tipping function. I don't think they
00:28:24.580
have the tipping function on rumble.com. They have removed it from us on YouTube. Odyssey has the
00:28:33.860
function, but it's in that, uh, crypto called library, which is interesting. I got to wrap my
00:28:40.100
head around it a bit. Anyways. Um, so thanks to all those supporters there. So, um, Bernier,
00:28:46.100
uh, was arrested. He was just arrested. Do we have a video of him being put in a car? Let's take a look.
00:28:50.740
Good afternoon, sir. Yes. With the RCMP. Yeah. I can get you to step out of the vehicle. I'm gonna
00:28:57.860
place you under arrest right now. Yeah. Right now you're under arrest under the, uh, provincial health
00:29:07.860
orders. Okay. So if you can just put your hands behind your back, face towards the vehicle. Okay.
00:29:12.740
Okay. Give me one hand here. Okay. The other hand. Do you have any weapons or anything on you, sir?
00:29:21.380
Weapon? No, no weapon. Only my words. Anything on you that's gonna hurt me or anything like that?
00:29:25.300
Sorry? Anything on you that's gonna hurt me or anything like that? No, no. Anything we hurt you.
00:29:29.060
Only my words. Only my philosophy. Only what I believe in. Okay. All right. Come on over this way.
00:29:34.340
I'll explain a few things to you here right away.
00:29:47.940
Hey, that's cool. Arresting the, an opposition party leader, handcuffing him,
00:30:11.460
putting him in a police car, taking him to jail. That's cool. That's really cool. When Russia does
00:30:16.740
that, it's international news, Amnesty International puts out a statement. When Venezuela does that,
00:30:22.340
same thing in Canada. So Brian Pallister, the premier and some nobody mayor said, you're not
00:30:30.100
welcome here. And then surprise when he shows up the police and it wasn't the police or was it a brand
00:30:35.700
called Under Armour? Because I noticed that RCMP officer was wearing a sponsored ball cap. So was this
00:30:43.300
an RCMP arrest or was it an Under Armour arrest? And are RCMP uniforms optional? Maybe this was just
00:30:52.100
some private errand he was running for the premier. So he didn't feel it would be appropriate. You put
00:30:57.060
that back up to show people what I'm talking about. Just hold the frame at the cop's hat.
00:31:02.580
The RCMP regulations describe what uniforms are permitted. And yeah, just move a little forward
00:31:12.100
till we see the hat. If you can just, yeah, do you see that? Like that's, that's an, that's,
00:31:18.660
that's Under Armour, right? That's a brand. So what I'm curious about is if this cop,
00:31:25.220
yeah. So is this an arrest on behalf of the RCMP? Is this an arrest on behalf of the premier?
00:31:35.860
Is this an arrest on behalf of Under Armour? Who's actually doing this arrest and why?
00:31:42.740
Who thinks it's appropriate to pull over a car and handcuff someone for, for no crime? Just to,
00:31:48.980
just so you're clear, Bernier was, has not been charged with any crime. You know what a crime is,
00:31:54.580
right? If you don't know what a crime is from the plain language of that word,
00:31:59.060
you can look it up in a book called The Criminal Code, where they list all the crimes. And
00:32:05.860
going to a gathering or giving a speech or whatever he was doing is not a crime.
00:32:13.060
So we've arrested a political party leader, handcuffed him and jailed him.
00:32:18.500
And was this front page news across the country? Did you see it anywhere? I'll be honest with you,
00:32:26.340
I don't really pick up traditional newspapers, so I don't know what's on the front page, but I don't
00:32:31.060
think it was. Because it's fine by the media party. They don't like Maxime Bernier either.
00:32:37.060
I wonder what it would be like if it was Stephen Harper's RCMP that arrested and handcuffed,
00:32:46.820
let's say, the Green Party leader. How would that go down?
00:32:50.820
On Rumble, Nick Monk says, the Bernier arrest was widely covered by Canadian media and not,
00:32:56.180
imagine if it was Jagmeet Singh getting arrested, the wailing would be endless. Yeah, and with,
00:33:00.180
with good reason, because we don't really arrest politicians in our country. That's more of a
00:33:03.540
a Putin thing or a Nicholas Maduro thing. It's a disgrace. But Trudeau was miles away. He was
00:33:12.100
partying. Here, here he is in the UK at a G7 conference looking, yeah, just if we have any
00:33:22.660
b-roll of him. Do we have him meeting the others on the beach or him? Yeah, I think we do.
00:33:29.060
Do we have sound on this or is it just b-roll? All right, so they all came,
00:33:45.300
I think one of them's wearing a mask. I don't know why Merkel's wearing a mask,
00:33:50.740
because she wasn't wearing a mask at the meeting they were just in.
00:33:53.380
So they all had just come from a meeting where there were no masks and they were standing right
00:34:02.100
next to each other. And now they're going to have this performance art where they stand
00:34:12.420
four feet apart, not six feet and not three feet, four feet, because the science is a little bit
00:34:17.060
different. Did Merkel take off her mask? Yeah, she took it off because science, you know.
00:34:26.100
So this was their space, their socially distanced photo op.
00:34:29.780
And Merkel took her mask off, but she walked with it on. And now she's putting it back on now.
00:34:43.140
Normally it's Trudeau that's so weird. Like what, what are you, now all of these people you see here
00:34:49.540
have been vaccinated. They just all have. So why is she wearing that? Who is she wearing it to be
00:34:56.900
protected from? Or is she to protect them from her? Because they're not just since there, they were
00:35:05.860
just spaced up, but now they're hugging arm around arm, walking up the ladder, the stairs together.
00:35:18.020
And they're stopping that reporter. I always approve of that.
00:35:22.660
I'm kidding. We're the ones who are usually stopped.
00:35:26.340
Um, but that were, yeah, so they're, they're close. Like there's no masks there. There's no real
00:35:35.140
rule for masks now. It's whatever you think the virtue signaling demands in the moment.
00:35:40.260
Uh, uh, Trudeau was, you know, his usual self, nothing intelligent to say. Um, there was this
00:35:46.580
moment where he was asked the media about the media and he compared newspapers to that ancient,
00:35:53.460
uh, you know, insult to newspapers is today's newspapers tomorrow will be used to wrap fish.
00:36:01.540
Uh, maybe that's how fish is still, uh, I have, I, um, maybe they still wrap fish in old newspapers.
00:36:07.940
Um, but that's, that's probably something he heard in a long time ago and thought was funny.
00:36:14.180
So he mentioned that, but just think about this in the context of, I mean, I love the fact that he,
00:36:20.180
uh, well, just, just see for yourself. Take a look.
00:36:22.740
During a time of dueling crises of the pandemic and climate change, the impacts of this G7 will be
00:36:33.780
felt long after the newspapers you write for will have been used to wrap fish.
00:36:39.300
Maybe I won't do the newspapers and fish thing. I might get in trouble for that because we respect
00:36:48.660
the freedom of the press and the independence and the work that you all do in a very important way.
00:36:54.420
What an idiot. Um, but the thing is, I have to acknowledge his contempt for journalists
00:37:01.540
is probably well-founded because he knows how cheaply they sold themselves for $595 million.
00:37:08.500
Let's call it $600 million. He was able to buy or rent to be more precise every newspaper in Canada.
00:37:16.180
They're little, literally stenographers. He is their number one source of revenue for each
00:37:23.300
media company in this country. And of course he has contempt for them. And of course, I mean,
00:37:28.740
the fact that he paid $600 million for fish wrap, that's not really the point. He paid $600
00:37:35.780
million for those journalists in the room to be obedient stenographers. And he can't help.
00:37:43.460
Like there's, occasionally I, I sympathize with the lad. There he is. He, he sees people who will do
00:37:50.020
anything for a few pieces of silver. How can you not have contempt for such people?
00:37:55.300
Um, but he shows that the only people he's a little nervous about are Quebecers. So he won't
00:38:00.900
repeat the insult in French. There's a lot to think about there. Um, Trudeau, it's very funny. There's,
00:38:08.100
um, there were stories about the fact that, uh, with Merkel's departure, uh, Trudeau will be the,
00:38:19.700
the dean of the G7, as in he's, um, been around longer than, than many other world leaders. Joe Biden
00:38:26.980
obviously is brand new. Uh, Japan is a new leader, et cetera. But typically the, the elder statesman is
00:38:36.420
someone with some gravitas. And I don't think anyone feels that towards Trudeau. It's sort of
00:38:41.540
funny. There's been some, there's some, a fun Bloomberg report on that. Just, just pitiful,
00:38:46.420
just cringeworthy. But obviously what people were most interested in is Joe Biden, the new US
00:38:53.220
president. What's he like, um, off a teleprompter when he's maybe got a little jet lag and he's not
00:39:00.420
closely handled, uh, what's he like? The answer is absolutely terrible. I'm going to show three
00:39:07.140
videos, four videos in a particular order. I want to start with when they were all sitting down
00:39:12.100
and Boris Johnson was introducing people around the table and, uh, Boris Johnson had introduced
00:39:17.700
the leader of South Africa and Joe Biden forgot about that a minute later and said, hey, you didn't
00:39:23.380
introduce the leader of South Africa. And Boris Johnson said, yeah, actually I, I did grandpa. You just
00:39:28.420
forgot who's sitting around the Thanksgiving table, the Christmas dinner table. Um, and,
00:39:34.260
and someone on Twitter pointed out, look at Johnson's arm gestures. He never would have tried
00:39:41.220
that with Donald Trump. Just take a look at Joe Biden's forgetfulness, Boris's frustration with
00:39:48.180
forgetfulness and Boris's natural sort of spatial, um, personal space disrespect towards Biden. Take a look.
00:39:55.380
I want to say, uh, briefly, uh, to welcome, uh, those who have just joined
00:40:01.460
us, it's a pretty spectacular weather, uh, with them, uh, President Robert Fosio, President
00:40:07.940
Lune, in just a minute. And, and, and the President. Uh, and, and the President. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
00:41:11.240
Well, Joe Biden thinks, so listen to this idiot.
00:41:16.760
but a lot of people may not know what COVID is.
00:41:18.900
That is a system whereby they're going to provide funding for states
00:41:29.240
You know, can you pull up a map of the Middle East?
00:41:39.260
I've had the opportunity to go to a few countries in the Middle East.
00:41:44.420
And I should also say that if you're Jewish or Christian,
00:41:47.740
there's some places that are a little bit less safe also.
00:41:58.640
but I don't think it would ever have been particularly safe for a guy like me.
00:42:04.300
and I blame Angela Merkel for that, and Barack Obama too.
00:42:12.340
I suppose the Middle East is small by the standards of the world,
00:42:22.120
Yeah, if you close the box on the left, if you can.
00:42:37.460
There's a lot of cross-Mediterranean people smuggling.
00:42:46.020
and then he was displaced, and now it's basically gangs.
00:43:24.500
Iran is one of the largest countries in this region.
00:43:35.800
There's so much of the world's oil comes out of there,
00:43:45.840
like your Bahrain and United Arab Emirates and whatnot.
