Warning, censorship, warning, censorship, warning.

SuperU.net, a new specifically free speech alternative based in Vancouver.
00:01:07.600
And finally, Odyssey, which is sort of a crypto-oriented free speech platform.
00:01:12.940
So it's a pleasure to talk to you on all four of these systems.
00:01:22.240
Over the last, I guess, 42 or 72 hours, 48 or 72 hours,
00:01:32.720
not for committing any crimes, of course, but for committing free speech.
00:01:43.260
where our chief Australia correspondent, Avi Yamini, operates.
00:01:51.280
And especially when he's out at large public events
00:01:55.000
where Antifa might attend or there might be some jostling,
00:01:59.560
That's standard practice for most TV journalists in Australia, apparently.
00:02:03.440
And Avi is certified and got licenses and passes.
00:02:09.900
And not that I believe those things are necessary to do journalism,
00:02:15.700
And when they want to, we were suing the police there
00:02:29.660
because he's suing them for a few incidents already.
00:02:32.100
But they arrested Avi's bodyguard named Daniel.
00:02:41.900
He's licensed, professional, insured, regulated.
00:02:47.340
In fact, what I have learned in my dealings with bodyguards over the years
00:02:51.060
is the best bodyguards keep you out of trouble in the first place.
00:02:57.060
The best way to win a fight is never to get in it.
00:02:59.480
And, you know, I remember when Ann Coulter came
00:03:05.120
and I was on a three-city speaking tour with her in Canada,
00:03:08.240
she had a bodyguard, former NYPD cop, just a great guy, knew all the moves.
00:03:16.000
What a pleasure to deal with, great personality too.
00:03:18.380
But what I learned from him was avoid the problem, scan the horizon.
00:03:27.280
I sense that Daniel, Avi's bodyguard, is the same way.
00:03:40.900
But the thing is, no matter how big a guy you are,
00:03:43.320
when the cops arrest you, you go along with it.
00:03:47.800
I want to show you, and so that's the first arrest.
00:03:52.420
And the second was here in the greater Toronto area,
00:03:58.920
when our own David Manzies was arrested himself.
00:04:03.740
I'll talk about that because there's a lot to talk about there.
00:04:08.020
But first, let me show you how Avi's bodyguard was picked on.
00:04:37.780
So we're here now, two and a half hours after the event started.
00:04:41.620
The event went peacefully until the organisers started to disperse.
00:04:47.380
When police were outnumbered, probably 100 to 1, they backed down.
00:04:54.260
Suddenly, there is a small group left and police are taking them down violently.
00:05:45.260
They've taken our security and we need to wait for our security.
00:05:54.740
So they've just arrested our security, violently arrested our security on the job.
00:06:01.080
They haven't done that to Channel 9, Channel 7, Channel 10, SBS, ABC, who are all here
00:06:13.220
They've got Daniel on the ground, who is here as our licensed security guard, who came
00:06:22.540
And I told you guys at the time that he was working security, look at what they've got.
00:06:48.860
So you realise they arrested my security guard.
00:06:52.960
I've made it clear and he made it clear he was on the job and you've arrested him while
00:06:58.940
I've made it clear that's the one that was in charge.
00:07:01.940
So if, when this goes to court, it's going to be clear.
00:07:05.680
They've been told numerous times that he's on the job.
00:07:16.420
So they violently have arrested my security, who made it clear he was security.
00:07:45.680
Harvey's starting to become a bit more problematic, so we might need to look at what Harvey's role
00:07:50.300
If you're starting to cause breaches of the police, you'll be in trouble.
00:07:54.480
I'm here because you've taken my security guard.
00:08:01.380
I don't see any need for you to be here if you want to protect him.
00:08:09.060
And you can stay around the other side of the area.
00:08:20.160
Can I go to my security guard that you've arrested unlawfully?
00:08:52.880
Well, that escalated quickly as soon as they suddenly felt empowered to do it.
00:08:59.240
But we're going to fight for our security guard.
00:09:02.880
And right now we have seven cases in front of the Supreme Court for seven different matters.
00:09:08.680
And it looks like we're going to add another one.
00:09:13.880
I'm annoyed because your inspector there is acting like...
00:09:25.340
As you saw there, they didn't target me because I guess how many times can you make the same mistake?
00:09:29.240
The inspector tried to intimidate me after the fact, but again, back down because I think he was unsure of himself.
00:09:37.440
Our security who, by the way, every news cruise here had security.
00:09:40.860
None of them were pinned to the ground and dragged off to the police station.
00:09:44.860
I just had word that he's been taken away to Melbourne West Police Station.
00:09:49.340
We're going to go there and we're going to break him free.
00:09:51.920
We're going to use the lawyer to make sure to ensure that we get him out.
00:10:01.160
So, we're here at Melbourne West Police Station where our security guard is being...
00:10:07.660
The lawyers had been on the case talking to the sergeant.
00:10:11.520
He's come out before I even got to do my piece to camera.
00:10:19.780
I was very clear with the arresting officers that I was at work, who I am, what I'm doing.
00:10:29.540
And, I mean, I think it would be pretty obvious from an outsider's point of view that I'm holding you guys.
00:10:41.040
We're paying the company that employs you to be here.
00:10:48.960
And, like, I mean, I tried telling him that during the melee and he said, no, don't care.
00:11:03.960
I tell you, I mean, it doesn't look as bad now.
00:11:12.640
And to me, it felt very malicious and vindictive.
00:11:16.980
And I don't know if there are any charges, anything that comes of this, we are 100% obviously paying your bill for today, including all the hours you spent in arrest.
00:11:25.140
And people at home can help us fund that bill at supportarvey.com because without you, as we saw, I'm in trouble.
00:11:31.560
I can't be at some of these things or anything.
00:11:39.360
People are actually going to donate to help us cover all the legal costs associated with fighting back and fighting the fine and any charges and potentially even taking them to court on this.
00:11:51.520
Because we have a matter in the Supreme Court where we've added a few things, but I don't think I can add your case on that.
00:11:57.180
So we may have to create a new account for you.
00:12:02.340
I'd be very happy with that because to me, like I said, it felt targeted.
00:12:07.220
It was pretty obvious who I am, who you are, what we're doing.
00:12:11.920
Let me ask you one more important question because your legal fees are covered and whatever we've got to do, we're going to do.
00:12:17.640
And Rebel News is behind you and the viewers are behind you.
00:12:20.200
But for me, most important, are you willing to come back next time?
00:12:27.200
I mean, it's a little sore, but I've got a job to do that.
00:12:36.780
Fightthefines.com.au to help us with the legal fees and support Avi.com to help us cover his fees.
00:12:42.860
Avi Amini in Melbourne, Australia for Rebel News.
00:12:45.280
Never backing down, no matter who they pick on.
00:12:53.220
First of all, you throw an Australian accent on just about anyone and they're a good guy.
00:12:59.140
But I like how he wasn't being a drama queen there.
00:13:01.880
But if he still got that red band around his wrist like five hours later, you know that they were putting it on wicked tight just to make a point.
00:13:09.800
And in the very first moments, well, actually, we caught the actual moment, grab that fella.
00:13:17.180
He was walking away from police, focused on Avi.
00:13:25.660
The cop referred to Avi by name and said, if Avi, watch Avi, if he keeps talking, we'll have to deal with him or something.
00:13:37.500
Well, they clearly were targeting Avi, but they thought, well, maybe we'll target Avi's bodyguard instead.
00:13:54.040
By the way, we are suing the Victoria Police for Avi.
00:13:57.880
So that's just a day in the life of Rebel News.
00:14:01.140
As Avi points out, all the other TV reporters had security there too, but they all love the lockdown.
00:14:10.140
They have the strangest lockdowns in Australia.
00:14:12.720
They have, now the number may be slightly higher now, but last week in the entire continent of Australia, in the entire year of 2021, so we're more than halfway through the year, there have been three deaths attributed to COVID-19.
00:14:34.760
And yet they're locking down entire cities, entire regions.
00:14:37.740
And the premier of the state of Victoria, his name is Dan Andrews.
00:14:43.740
He is a communist, or at least a communist sympathizer.
00:14:55.100
Thanks, Justin interrupts me and says, the number I gave you was for Sydney, which is the largest city in Australia.
00:15:03.120
The number of three deaths was just for Sydney.
00:15:07.740
Um, so Dan Andrews is a communist sympathizer premier of the state of Victoria, and I say he's a communist sympathizer because he actually traveled to China and signed a secret treaty with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:15:24.360
And you're saying, what do you mean secret treaty?
00:15:30.460
What are you doing signing treaties with the Communist Party?
00:15:38.880
There's a funny moment, um, in this video, but listen right to the end.
00:15:46.160
And frankly, I don't even, I don't, I don't, seriously, I'm making a serious point.
00:15:49.480
I don't know what half of them are protesting against.
00:16:10.460
Nah, mate, you've been hanging out with your Chinese Communist Party friends a little too long.
00:16:29.560
In the, in, in France, uh, they brought it, oh, and I'm going to come back to the David
00:16:38.140
Just, since we're talking about foreign affairs, since we've, I showed you my two clips from
00:16:42.940
Australia, I want to show you in France, Emmanuel Macron, who is such a strange person.
00:16:52.140
You know the story of his, he married his, he met his wife when he was a teenager, and
00:17:03.540
Do you know about Emmanuel Macron's, I was going to say his mom.
00:17:14.720
And she got divorced to marry him, like, right out of school.
00:17:21.800
That seems really, really, really triple weird to me.
00:17:31.200
He's a bizarre, almost like made, almost like he's made in a, in a lab or something.
00:17:44.840
And, um, so he's decided we're going to have vaccine passports for basically everything in life.
00:17:52.080
And, um, the French, you know, America and the, and the Brits, who came to France's aid in the Second World War, for a long time they've made fun of France as they surrendered so quickly to Germany.
00:18:09.460
Well, France actually fought hard and suffered a lot of casualties.
00:18:13.620
And so I think that sometimes unfairly the French are called surrenderists.
00:18:23.660
But there is actually a streak in France that takes to the streets pretty quick and even gets a little bit pushy pretty quick.
00:18:35.160
I think they are quicker to anger than Canadians who seem to passively accept just anything.
00:18:40.420
Let me show you the massive protests against the vaccine passports in France.
00:18:47.320
And as I said, you know, I mean, they're famous for their riots.
00:19:28.180
Can you also dig up one of the massive people versus police?
00:19:31.960
Like, that was an interesting shot of a police fire hose device.
00:19:36.720
Those jets of water are so powerful, they would knock anyone over.
00:19:42.600
What's interesting about that clip is that there was no large manifestation, no large protest, certainly not one that I could see.
00:20:00.640
Similar protests in Italy and Greece over the same sort of thing.
00:20:04.700
I'm glad to have seen that fire hose riot truck because it just showed that just anyone out on the streets, they'll knock over with the water can.
00:20:16.200
One of the most disturbing things I've seen in Canada is new signs going up in airports, segregating people between those who are vaccinated and those aren't.
00:20:48.980
And there's these massive signs that say vaccinated and unvaccinated.
00:21:06.420
So this is in Vancouver, you can tell, because there's some Chinese writing there, too.
00:21:13.420
Fully vaccinated passengers on that line and unvaccinated passengers on that line.
00:21:22.420
Now, there's a lot of questions that arise, like, what does fully vaccinated mean?
00:21:41.420
Because I think that's the international arrivals there, if I'm not mistaken.
00:21:52.420
If you have all your other vaccines, is that good enough?
00:21:55.420
Just skipping the one that's an experimental vaccine that's not yet approved by the FDA,
00:22:11.420
It's like you already had the disease and have recovered from it.
00:22:19.420
But I think the biggest problem in those lines, actually, is the same problem when we saw the British Columbia government mailing people envelopes.
00:22:31.420
And right on the outside of the envelope, it's, we've got your shot reserved for you.
00:22:37.420
So everyone at the post office and the mailman know your private medical background now?
00:22:44.420
You thought you would put that on the outside of the envelope, not the inside?
00:22:48.420
That would be like maybe your credit card company putting your credit card balance on the outside of an envelope instead of having the envelope marked personal and confidential.
00:23:01.420
So you're sending a letter to people, and you choose to have on the outside of the envelope their private medical.
00:23:14.420
Is there anything else you want to put on the outside of the envelope for my mailman to look at before he hands it to me and maybe passes around the post office, has a little laugh?
00:23:22.420
So you, and my analogy is, you are asking people to publicly demonstrate their most private health information for everyone to see, for strangers to see, to get in the, and the second class status of it.
00:23:46.420
Are you in this lounge or that lounge or do you wait at the gate?
00:23:50.420
Are you, as Air Canada calls it, are you elite or are you super elite?
00:23:57.420
Are you in first class, business class, or the back?
00:24:00.420
Are you on an economy class airline or a luxury class airline?
00:24:10.420
They even have speedy lines for fancy passengers to go through security faster.
00:24:17.420
So now, we're having the denormalization, the embarrassment, the humiliation, the discreditation by being in the unvaxed.
00:24:33.420
Girl germs, as we used to say in elementary school.
00:24:38.420
So you're forcing people to physically stand in a line based on their private medical information.
00:24:52.420
And you think that's compliant with privacy legislation and anti-discrimination legislation?
00:25:06.420
Now, I understand that Montreal did that and they already took it down.
00:25:18.420
We've got one super chat, a hyper chat from Chuck Silver.
00:25:27.420
I do know that when politicians like John Tory say it's completely safe and completely effective, neither of those statements are true.
00:25:35.420
The FDA doesn't say that and the drug companies don't say that.
00:25:38.420
I don't know if any medicine is completely safe.
00:25:45.420
The United States has a vaccine adverse events registry system.
00:25:55.420
It's where people who get vaccines and get a bad side effect register what the side effect is, including death.
00:26:01.420
And the side effects, the number of side effects for the COVID-19 vaccines are actually greater in number than all other vaccine side effects combined for like a decade.
00:26:15.420
So, I'm not here to say what the medical, how safe it is, and I'm sure it depends on your case.
00:26:22.420
Like if you're a healthy 20-year-old Olympic athlete, for example, the likelihood of you dying from the virus has got to be close to zero.
00:26:31.420
Whereas the likelihood of you having an adverse effect from the vaccine is probably higher.
00:26:38.420
So, I'm not here to say what that balancing fulcrum is.
00:26:44.420
But I am here to say that when mayors like John Tory say it's completely safe, that's scientifically and factually untrue.
00:26:58.420
On Rumble, Mary 20232, Tear Society and it's another form of passports.
00:27:03.420
Yeah, or you could even call it, you know what the word apartheid is?
00:27:06.420
That's an Afrikaans word, a Dutch word for apartness.
00:27:16.420
On Super U, Devil's Advocate says, amazing how much Canadians are willing to take.
00:27:21.420
You know, and it'll be interesting to see how much Australians are ready to take too.
00:27:28.420
I showed you, I started the show by telling you how our friend Avi Amini,
00:27:32.420
who has been repeatedly targeted by everybody in Australia,
00:27:38.420
because he's such a strong truth teller down there, and he's so good at his craft.
00:27:43.420
They've arrested him so many times, all of it false arrests.
00:27:47.420
And so we had enough, and we have sued the Victoria police.
00:27:52.420
That's what the police in Melbourne are called.
00:28:02.420
I'd have to check on the status of that lawsuit because it's been going for a little while.
00:28:07.420
I won't get into that now, but you can see they've moved on to Avi's entourage
00:28:14.420
because maybe they're not brave enough to arrest Avi anymore, I hope.
00:28:21.420
Here in Canada, we had an arrest yesterday, too.
00:28:24.420
And there I am on my Sunday midday just doing whatever I'm doing,
00:28:29.420
and I get a phone call from our chief videographer, Mocha Beziergin,
00:28:33.420
telling me that David was just arrested at a Conservative Party event in Thornhill.
00:28:41.420
It's about half an hour away from my home, so I get up there as soon as I can.
00:28:46.420
Our lawyer, Aaron Rosenberg, was there before me, and indeed it was true.
00:28:51.420
And David was arrested at the behest of Aaron O'Toole's Conservative Party.
00:29:00.420
And what I'm about to tell you is no word of a lie.
00:29:06.420
I was at home, and I was looking at my Twitters. I do it too much.
00:29:11.420
And I had just that very minute seen a tweet from Aaron O'Toole.
00:29:19.420
Aaron O'Toole. It was literally on my phone when I got the call from Mocha.
00:29:24.420
I'm not making that. It's too coincidental. I know. You won't believe me.
00:29:27.420
I was looking at a tweet from Aaron O'Toole on free speech.
00:29:33.420
And I was actually writing back to it in reply.
00:29:36.420
That's what I was doing the second my phone rang from Mocha saying, yeah.
00:29:43.420
Now, I didn't realize that was from the day before because it was only served up to me by the algorithm yesterday.
00:29:50.420
So I saw this yesterday. It says if you don't support free speech, you have four parties to choose from.
00:29:58.420
If you do, you only have one. Canada's conservatives.
00:30:02.420
And I saw that and I thought, BS, you're a cancel culture, fake conservative.
00:30:07.420
And I was writing a reply, which I later completed.
00:30:10.420
But I'm reading this and I'm saying, no, you're not.
00:30:14.420
And that's on my phone. And who calls at that very minute?
00:30:20.420
But our chief videographer, Mocha Bazirgin, you know him by his lovely hair, saying that David was arrested.
00:30:32.420
And true enough, when I when I show up, there are six police cars, six.
00:30:53.420
And maybe they're just bored because the lockdown has been slightly relieved so people can go to restaurants again for the first time.
00:31:03.420
I actually walked up to the first cop I saw and said, I'm here because I understand you've arrested my guy.
00:31:13.420
I should actually I don't think I've shared this with you, Justin.
00:31:19.420
And he said, we had five or six calls, is what he said.
00:31:34.420
And he said, we got five or six calls that he was pushing and shoving and swearing.
00:31:49.420
I think I've heard him swear once, but I can't even really remember it.
00:31:53.420
If you were going to say, what did he say or when?
00:31:55.420
I can't even tell you because it's such a vague memory.
00:32:11.420
Even in situations of extreme stress, he doesn't swear.
00:32:15.420
When I'm in an extreme stress situation, a voice like a little subroutine kicks in my brain.
00:32:29.420
God, you got the foreign minister of Pakistan here.
00:32:44.420
and so i just that's me i swear david i don't think i've heard him swear i'm not saying he's
00:32:51.160
never sworn in his life but i've seen him in stressful situations and and when this cop said
00:32:56.060
david was swearing at people i thought i don't think that's true and that he was like doing
00:33:03.500
like physical art i thought that's that's not true i don't believe that and he said well he
00:33:09.920
got all these phone calls well and they must be true um turns out that the erin o'toole conservative
00:33:17.540
party who had just tweeted about freedom of the press they didn't like david's questions so they
00:33:23.400
had the police come cop told me he got a bunch of calls i talked to the cop i got it on tape i should
00:33:29.940
i should get that tape to our team and then i encountered mocha and mocha i said well what
00:33:35.460
happened and mocha said well actually they shoved david and actually there's a video do we have
00:33:41.260
that video clip of of some of the pushing of david including um okay we'll play that clip of um
00:33:51.300
a woman like for example just one example like they knocked his hat off they pushed him around
00:33:57.500
um and just a woman coming out throwing what i think was water but you never know i mean one of
00:34:04.420
our reporters five years ago i know this sounds super gross someone was carrying i know this
00:34:08.780
sounds super gross a bottle of urine the antifa types do that and they throw that there's nothing
00:34:16.180
grosser in the world actually there are grosser things but that's super gross so this one woman
00:34:21.360
threw what i think was water we don't know at david and it was all on tape here i'm going to
00:34:28.080
play for you um how long is that video that we're talking about
00:34:31.560
okay let's play this it's a very short video let's take a look
00:34:37.440
it's relevant here for rebel news i'm standing next to david menzies who moments ago
00:34:43.340
was released from the back of a police car i don't know if you can see it there's still literally five
00:34:48.400
police cars here including some senior supervisors why are they here because david was asking questions
00:34:54.760
of a politician that were a little too tough so the politician literally called 9-1-1 and they
00:35:00.580
kept sending car after car after car in fact david was the one who was pushed assaulted had his hat
00:35:07.540
knocked off water thrown at him just because he was asking tough questions of an erano to a conservative
00:35:13.640
which is another way of saying someone who isn't very conservative at all i'm going to have a longer
00:35:18.540
interview with david where we go through what happened but i'll tell you one thing we got to fight
00:35:22.780
the charges he's been charged with criminal offenses that we have to fight and we have to go on the
00:35:29.000
hunt the people who pushed him around assaulted him we've got to show them you can't do that to a rebel
00:35:34.020
journalist i'll explain it all in my longer interview with david please go to save menzies.com
00:35:40.380
no one gets to push or shove a rebel journalist and no police gets to censor us for peacefully asking
00:35:49.640
questions go to save menzies.com yeah i didn't like what happened there um you know you can disagree
00:35:57.780
with david you can even say his questions are not good questions but to call the police
00:36:03.460
isn't that what justin trudeau does i want to show you one more thing that i didn't like you saw the
00:36:10.500
lady throw the water you shot the jocelyn you saw the jocelyn something happened when david was
00:36:15.940
arrested i don't like that he was arrested he was charged with three things he was charged with
00:36:20.420
trespass he was charged with i saw the ticket swearing and i don't know if the word was punching
00:36:27.320
or something again that didn't happen i reviewed the tapes of the incident david did not swear it's
00:36:31.460
a lie david did not punch anyone that's a lie it's a lie he just didn't um resisting arrest he didn't
00:36:40.080
resist arrest he just told the cop what are you arresting me for this is crazy i didn't punch
00:36:45.280
anyone and the cop sort of admitted he he was just going based on the accusations of the conservatives
00:36:51.740
but i want to show you what happened because when he was being arrested um david had two things in
00:36:58.600
his hand he had a microphone device and he had a clipboard and obviously when you're arrested the
00:37:06.660
cops often handcuff you and so he handed the microphone to mocha and the the clip 40 either
00:37:14.840
was dropped or it fell or something and you can see in this video an o'tool staffer i'm not sure
00:37:21.580
if she works for o'tool or for melissa lansman um picked up david's notepad and you can see this is
00:37:32.060
incredible didn't just pick it up and hand it back or hand it to mocha picked it up and kept it
00:37:36.660
even though mocha was right there kept david's notebook and you and watch this she would hold
00:37:43.340
it up take a picture flip the page take a picture flip the page take the picture flip the page take the
00:37:49.880
so you just had a journalist arrested and as soon as he's arrested you grab his clipboard which is his
00:38:01.180
property that if i understand the law of arrest correctly it's his property that is now in the
00:38:08.500
custody of the police just like he's in the custody of the police his personal effects his wallet his
00:38:13.360
phone everything it's also the police are responsible for them when you're under arrest
00:38:16.560
you no longer have autonomy um you can't make any decisions you can't for example defend yourself
00:38:22.240
really um you can't do it you are like a child you're like an infant child in terms of your rights
00:38:27.960
you're it's all subordinate to the government and in return the the government has a duty of care
00:38:32.180
not let people take your stuff so they arrest david menzies he drops his clipboard in any event the
00:38:41.860
clipboard is his property it's in the custody of the police if i understand the arrest law correctly
00:38:48.480
it would be like dropping your purse or your wallet let's let's use that as an analogy let's say you drop
00:38:54.180
your wallet okay you can pick up a wallet and hand it back to someone but to pick up the wallet and
00:39:00.480
to go through it and to take pictures of what's in it take a look at this video and watch that
00:39:06.080
this is freedom of speech in canada in 2021 if you dare ask a prickly question
00:39:16.080
this is this is what we get in canada look at this look at this thug manhandling me and what was
00:39:26.020
i accused of just asking questions the assaults were on my body people running in front of me
00:39:32.000
and i'm the one that he wants to handcuff what is this this is you think justin strudel's media
00:39:38.640
party is bad these are the guys that want to form the next government it's unbelievable what kind
00:39:47.280
there's a lot of strange things that happened yesterday
00:40:08.620
i think calling the police is never a good thing on a journalist i think arresting journalists is a
00:40:16.720
bad look for the conservative party i think it's a contradiction to their statements about believing
00:40:22.560
in free speech and opposing censorship i think it's okay to disagree with david menzies and to
00:40:30.060
dislike his questions i think throwing water on them is not a good idea in fact i think that's
00:40:36.160
assault it might even be aggravated assault or assault with a weapon i don't know i assume that
00:40:40.880
was water you know in the uk thank god it hasn't come to canada yet they have acid attacks all the
00:40:46.660
time terrible it's a it's a thing in the uk um but you arrest a guy and you grab his clipboard and
00:40:56.720
you go through it you grab his notes and you go through and you photo it and i just i just can't
00:41:01.480
believe that's anywhere close to right now there's a lot of things that went wrong there i think the
00:41:13.500
lying to the police i'm going to see if i can get from the police the complaints that were made
00:41:20.580
because if they said that david was swearing or punching people or whatever that he was undoing
00:41:26.360
i'm not sure if it's an offense to file a false police report i think it is i don't know if those
00:41:34.200
would rise to that level but look if you want to get rid of david get rid of david but don't lie
00:41:42.380
to the police and have them come with six police cars thinking he's swearing and punching people he
00:41:47.660
didn't do those things second of all don't throw water at him or whatever that liquid was
00:41:54.560
third of all if you do get your journalist arrested congratulations don't steal his notebook
00:42:02.720
from him that's not yours and fourth of all if you do steal the notebook don't rifle through it and
00:42:10.100
take photos of it as was done on camera there uh and then i what am i at sixth sixth of all
00:42:17.380
don't then call up journalists as was done last signing yesterday telling them what's in the notebook
00:42:25.340
not that there's anything embarrassing there but don't like you're doing so many things that are so
00:42:30.820
wrong it's just such a real um glance into the nature of erin otul's conservative party i don't
00:42:39.040
think it's good obviously we're going to defend david against the charges unlisted and i think we have
00:42:44.440
to go on the hunt i think we have to pursue charges where appropriate or a civil court where appropriate
00:42:51.040
so i've set up a little page at save menzies.com to pay for this we don't we don't let rebels out to
00:42:57.280
drive so that happened around lunchtime i'd have to check um my my phone to see what time the call
00:43:04.920
came in and then i zipped up there so um i started to tweet about this and so did others and um these
00:43:15.140
various videos we did started getting hundreds of thousands of views my very first video when i
00:43:22.940
arrived on the scene i hadn't talked to anyone yet and i sort of said here's what i think is going to
00:43:26.580
happen and some people said oh i don't even believe he was arrested so then we showed the video of the
00:43:31.180
arrest people saw that and then i noticed the clipboard thing in the background and people saw
00:43:36.380
that and so this this was trending in on social media yesterday it was the word menzies and actually
00:43:45.540
the word ezra were trending that's you know i don't think that's the the pr ripple effect that they
00:43:53.740
wanted so about 10 hours after they had lied about menzies had the cops come and arrest him
00:44:03.500
stolen his notebook and photographed it assaulted him without what i think is water those are four
00:44:09.500
bad things they were really looking bad so after 10 hours they decided to come up with an alibi
00:44:15.840
and the alibi was the candidate there melissa landsman was afraid for her life so she had to
00:44:24.640
flee here's a statement she put out at about 11 p.m last night today at peter kent's annual summer
00:44:31.280
celebration i should tell you right there there was only about five people there who weren't um staff it
00:44:38.180
was 29 degrees celsius on a baking hot asphalt parking lot surrounded by yellow caution tape i
00:44:45.060
can't like if you want people to come to your event don't have it on a hot asphalt parking lot and bring
00:44:50.820
it with caution tape that when i looked at i thought is this is this police tape this is police tape was
00:44:56.660
there is that why there's six cops here no this is the welcoming event we'll just use yellow caution
00:45:02.100
tape it was a terrible event anyways back to this uh that's an aside at peter kent's annual summer
00:45:09.620
celebration i answered various questions from a number of outlets including from david manzi's
00:45:14.740
when mr manzi's line of questioning became homophobic and related to my sexual orientation
00:45:23.940
i ended the interview afterward i spoke to some constituents but ultimately left the event because
00:45:29.300
i felt unsafe thankfully no one was hurt today i'm very confident that any investigation will
00:45:36.500
demonstrate that i acted appropriately and with the utmost respect i've not engaged with the authorities
00:45:42.020
nor did i call them unless it landsby okay now what investigation they talking about that's that's a
00:45:49.700
little weird didn't engage with authorities okay that cop told me and i'll have to dig up the clip
00:45:55.940
it's it's on my phone i don't think i give it to the team yet the cop said a bunch of phone calls were
00:46:00.500
made was the cop lying to me what what investigation i think maybe i know because when i was there the
00:46:09.300
police asked me to leave which i did but i said hey copper whatever you're doing on menzies there was
00:46:16.500
a water assault there were other assaults etc etc i want you to look into those and none of that
00:46:21.300
that so maybe the police are investigating i don't know what she's talking about there but is david
00:46:29.300
menzies homophobic again i don't know every private thought of anyone other than myself i don't think
00:46:35.940
he's homophobic never heard him say a homophobic thing um and you saw there's a very clear statement
00:46:42.420
there that melissa lansman engaged with david menzies but broke off the interview when he said something
00:46:48.820
homophobic did you see that part she engaged with david menzies put it back up for one second i want
00:46:54.740
to remember the exact words there when mr menzies line of questioning became homophobic and related to
00:47:06.740
my sexual orientation i ended the interview all right um well here's the interview let's take a look
00:47:18.820
so melissa i gotta ask you how can you run to represent the writing of thorn hill when you were
00:47:28.740
somewhat responsible for so many businesses going under and so many people losing their jobs as a paid
00:47:35.060
lobbyist for walmart you made sure your client stayed open at the expense of other businesses and now
00:47:42.180
you're running for the people how do you square that i've actually been quite clear on uh on that uh we uh
00:47:48.020
the mandate for uh for walmart was entirely on vaccines and that's all available information
00:47:52.980
and you can seek that information what do you mean the mandate for walmart was vaccine that was our
00:47:56.980
mandate i didn't speak about it at the time because they were still in active climate but uh we we uh
00:48:01.620
we allowed walmart to get into the vaccine pipeline melissa you were in the war room of doug ford in 2018
00:48:08.740
phrases like ontario open for business and for the people and then you were instrumental in shutting
00:48:14.820
down businesses putting them out of business putting people out of a job so that this multi-billion
00:48:20.740
dollar corporation based in the u.s could remain open not only selling essentials but non-essentials
00:48:26.500
why could walmart sell flowers but jane's flowers couldn't sell flowers i'm sure that's a kind of
00:48:31.780
question for uh for the ontario government on why they made that decision but again i told you our mandate
00:48:36.420
was uh uh was on vaccine procurement thanks very much how much how much did you get paid by walmart by
00:48:42.260
the way melissa is it five six or seven figures um was that homophobic i don't think it was
00:48:56.820
he has four questions about her role at walmart she gave sort of answers she didn't like it so she
00:49:02.340
walked away the interview ended now there was a moment later on when david asked her um when david
00:49:10.500
reconnected with her um where he asked her about a central theme of her nomination campaign which was
00:49:20.660
that she was the lgbt candidate for the conservatives do we have any of those clippings did i send those to
00:49:26.260
so i mean this may sound like a tempest in the teapot but david did ask later on and we'll show you that
00:49:34.900
video um a question um about the about this did you have any yeah young gta raised and unafraid to
00:49:45.940
speak critically about the conservatives melissa landsman is the party's candidate in thorn hill for
00:49:49.940
the next federal election she could also become the second openly gay tory to take a seat in the house
00:49:55.140
of comments so um and click on the link there you don't even need to go to the others so she was um her her
00:50:02.740
campaign was the lgbt campaign obviously there are other gay conservatives have been for decades maybe
00:50:10.260
centuries the conservatives can't be stuck in the past on lgbtq rights and you can see this is her op-ed
00:50:18.180
on the subject do we have any other links there so she was positioning herself
00:50:25.460
as the lgbt candidate coming out as a conservative was much harder than telling
00:50:30.260
anyone that was gay cheers to being yourself that's a funny tweet now i i don't think that's an issue
00:50:36.980
and frankly i don't even know if that's a like that's news anymore it's like uh yeah we showed
00:50:42.980
this one already thank you um you know it's it's tough to say first this first that now because things
00:50:51.780
are so woke i mean um the first openly gay cabinet cabinet secretary was actually in trump's
00:51:00.500
administration uh richard grinnell so you know joe biden so you can see increasingly more fine
00:51:08.340
distinctions joe by the first openly gay first nations wheelchair bound you know um gender non-binary
00:51:16.820
cabinet cabinet secretary i suppose that hasn't been hit but i'm not even sure if it's a big deal
00:51:22.740
anymore um it just feels like that was like the front line in the culture wars maybe a decade ago
00:51:29.700
um there have been gay conservative cabinet ministers there are gay liberal cabinet ministers
00:51:37.620
i just don't feel like it's a big i don't i don't think it's something that's really
00:51:41.140
interesting other than it was the emphasis of melissa lansman's nomination campaign and so i don't
00:51:48.900
know if we have the clip ready we'll show it later tonight but david does ask her a question this is
00:51:53.860
almost verbatim we'll show the clip tonight did you win on merit or based on sexual orientation
00:52:03.620
is that a homophobic question um i don't think so um certainly not when the candidate herself
00:52:11.620
repeatedly says that's her candidacy that's what she means that's how she's gonna
00:52:19.940
take on the world okay well did you did you win your nomination against the local mpp
00:52:25.780
based on merit or or based on being your sexual orientation i just don't think that's homophobic
00:52:31.940
but at 10 hours and by the way neither did lance but i'm sorry i don't have this clip handy
00:52:36.580
i'm just showing you the stuff that's on twitter we'll have a full video out probably in a few hours
00:52:41.140
and the reason i know that's not an offensive question is because melissa lansman answered it
00:52:51.700
she didn't storm off she didn't say that's an outrageous question i'm sorry i don't have it right
00:52:58.340
now i you know i we we're working on a big video and we've just shown you the stuff that we put on
00:53:04.580
twitter already but there was a question from david it was answered by melissa lansman
00:53:11.700
and she didn't object to it it took her 10 hours to to figure out well how do we rebut the four things
00:53:18.260
we did wrong we got police to arrest a journalist we lied to the police about what the journalist did
00:53:27.060
swearing and punching in order to get him arrested we actually physically assaulted him including
00:53:34.340
throwing a bottle of water at him or whatever that was and finally when he was arrested we took his
00:53:41.140
notepad and didn't hand it back to him or mocha the camera we rifled through it and took photos of it
00:53:46.820
how do we change the channel on that oh i know play the gay card play the homophobia card that always
00:53:53.620
works well i think you sort of did prove you're the lgbt candidate who uses the tools of cancel
00:54:00.660
culture and wokeness when you're in a pickle you know there have been strong women candidates uh
00:54:07.220
for decades maybe even centuries i suppose i'm talking about queen elizabeth the first
00:54:11.780
um margaret thatcher indira gandy golden my ear benazir buto um there's no lack of very strong
00:54:20.340
powerful women um who you know um don't always say i'm a woman i'm a woman i'm a woman i'm a woman
00:54:30.340
they just do the job then there's another kind of candidate who all they talk about is i'm a woman i'm
00:54:36.420
a woman we know you're a woman we can see that but they use that as a defense if anyone criticizes
00:54:42.180
them oh it's because i'm a woman no it's because you're a politician and i think what we have in
00:54:47.780
melissa lansman is a candidate who has some questions to answer about her policies including
00:54:54.580
being walmart's lobbyist i think if you were walmart's lobbyist during the lockdown and your
00:54:59.540
job was to help promote walmart keep walmart open while all the mom and pop shops were shut down
00:55:05.540
i think you got some explaining to do um i think there's some real question marks there
00:55:11.780
um so answer them so talk about them come up with an answer or don't but don't don't reach for the
00:55:19.140
your you know your version of a race card and when someone asks you if your sexual orientation was the
00:55:23.780
reason you're the candidate and you have made that your central campaign theme for three years i just
00:55:31.780
don't think you can turn around and say oh when we when we lied to police to get this guy arrested
00:55:37.380
when we splashed him with water whatever that was when we pushed him and shoved him when we stole his
00:55:42.100
notebook that's that's because he was homophobic he's not homophobic anyways i i think it was an ugly day
00:55:49.940
and um i think we are going to fight for david because these charges against him are clearly false and you
00:55:58.100
saw was that resisting arrest him he was talking to the cop but if that's resisting arrest there's
00:56:02.900
no way that charge is going to stick i'd be surprised if prosecutors proceed with it and there
00:56:07.700
simply was no swear i mean i i don't think i i i have a fuzzy recollection of hearing david swear
00:56:14.340
once like years ago but i can't even remember it maybe it didn't happen i thought i heard him swear
00:56:20.100
once maybe he was quoting someone like have you ever seen like it just it's not it's not the way
00:56:29.700
okay he swore at you once about about a personal beef you were having but it was for fun like in
00:56:34.740
good fun he was being fake dramatic you were shocked by it yeah i mean so like that the the idea that he
00:56:41.700
was going around swearing it's just not credible anyways um enough talk about that but censorship is a
00:56:48.420
problem for all parties i'm afraid uh which is too bad
00:56:55.140
well we're almost out of time let me check to see if there's any more comments there are
00:57:01.540
hyper chat enoch the salty pretzel from the 8th of august all unvaxxed here in israel will be barred
00:57:06.740
from almost all public venues shops restaurants bars clubs event halls and all cultural venues and
00:57:11.220
the unvaxx will have to pay for a test to enter any place i you know i've seen some riot style
00:57:17.220
visuals from israel too um it sounds terrible it was bad under benjamin netanyahu but it sounds
00:57:23.780
even worse under the new prime minister hyper chat from history club world you should take all the
00:57:29.700
video you got from this event and submit every criminal act against david and send them to local
00:57:33.060
prosecutor and see how many charges they will have to do follow history club world on instagram well i
00:57:37.460
talked to the police as i left because the police came up to me and they said all right mr levant um
00:57:42.260
security is asking you to leave i said all right i said but before i do officer can i get your card
00:57:47.220
because i want to make sure like i talked to the cops on my way i wasn't rude to the cops honestly
00:57:51.620
i said look if you're charging david i insist that you charge those who assaulted him so the card the
00:57:58.420
cop was knifed he gave me his card and he wrote the case number on it so hopefully that'll happen
00:58:04.020
super you devil's advocate the ones who grabbed david's notes should be called out big time well
00:58:08.580
yeah i mean how many how many views has that tweet had probably quite a few but it doesn't even matter
00:58:13.780
how many there were um you know it could be one view uh the point is when you grab someone's probably
00:58:23.380
like grabbing someone's purse i'm just looking for the tweet right here yeah so when i tweeted this
00:58:28.580
it's got 195 000 views my little tweet video of that lady going through david's um briefcase
00:58:40.500
and it's got thousands of likes and retweets and whatnot i think that's a real problem i think that's a
00:58:48.180
real problem look there were it was a hot awful day yeah 195 but it was a hot awful day on the hot asphalt
00:59:05.060
i don't think that gave license to that one woman to throw a bottle of water or whatever it was at
00:59:10.260
david and i and i know it didn't give license to someone pick up david's private notes rifle through
00:59:17.460
them and photo every page i really think that's like finding someone's purse and opening it and going
00:59:22.740
through if i found a purse i would probably just leave it alone because i don't need any of that
00:59:28.580
but if like i don't need any trouble any hassle i don't need the project of returning a purse or a
00:59:33.220
wallet but i can understand opening wallet to find the id and then calling that purse and say hey i found
00:59:39.140
your wallet in fact once i lost my wallet and someone returned it to me boy was i ever grateful
00:59:55.780
but that campaign staffer knew whose wallet it was who knew like it this wasn't oh let me see whose this
01:00:02.740
is and i'll return it to them this was oh i don't like rebel news i've got their clipboard because
01:00:09.700
he's under arrest i'm now going to photograph every page to weaponize against him politically
01:00:16.020
no no that's not like picking up a wallet to see whose idea it is to phone and say here's your wallet
01:00:20.100
back she knew whose clipboard that was because he was standing right there and mocha the cameraman was
01:00:27.140
still at liberty she could have handed it to him i think that was actually the most grave thing that
01:00:31.940
could be a privacy uh law offense there may be a a theft offense there and there may be an interfering
01:00:38.340
with police uh offense there as well because that is property that ought to or was in the custody and care
01:00:44.820
of police i think the women who splashed something on david should be charged too just an awful day
01:00:51.700
but really a day you'd more expect to be associated with the liberal party of canada not the
01:00:55.620
conservative party i don't like any politician these days do you all right it's 102 pm
01:01:02.260
i think we got a call quits i got so much work to do thanks everybody for watching on all the
01:01:06.900
different platforms and thanks for your support do we have a dog video at the end of the day that'll
01:01:10.660
make us all feel better you know i find these dog videos make me feel between seven and 22 percent
