Hello, my rebels. An incredible thing happened last night. Incredible in a very bad way.
00:00:04.320
Donald Trump's residence was raided by the FBI. What were they looking for? Guns?
00:00:08.520
Bombs? Some secret plans? No, it was a paperwork dispute. Donald Trump was president. So what
00:00:14.540
papers are his and what papers belong at the White House? They're having a paperwork dispute
00:00:18.800
and the deep state said, let's have a shock and awe FBI raid of his house just to show him we can.
00:00:26.040
But yeah, I don't think that's any good. I'll take you through the news of the day. We actually had a
00:00:30.600
reporter down there. Not when it happened, but shortly afterwards. We'll show you what that
00:00:35.040
looks like. But first, let me tell you about Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast.

00:01:06.240
Tonight, an unprecedented FBI raid on Donald Trump's home. Has the deep state gone too far?
00:01:23.140
It's August 9th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:41.240
Last night, the most shocking news in America, and I think it jolted a lot of people around the
00:01:47.680
world who have a certain image of the United States, Donald Trump revealed that his home,
00:01:53.200
the famous Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, was raided by FBI agents. And he put it out in that
00:02:00.440
typical Trump style, salted and peppered with humor and derision. And if it was meant to break his spirit,
00:02:08.900
well, it certainly hasn't. Let me read to you the email put out last night by which the world learned
00:02:16.600
These are dark times for our nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida,
00:02:23.100
is currently under siege, raided and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has
00:02:30.020
ever happened to a president of the United States before. After working and cooperating with the
00:02:35.020
relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.
00:02:40.760
It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the justice system, an attack by radical left
00:02:47.880
Democrats who desperately don't want me to run for president in 2024, especially based on recent
00:02:53.480
polls, and who will likewise do anything to stop Republicans and conservatives in the upcoming
00:02:59.040
midterm elections. Such an assault could only take place in broken third world countries. Sadly,
00:03:05.980
America has now become one of those countries, corrupt at a level not seen before. They even
00:03:11.440
broke into my safe. What is the difference between this and Watergate, where operatives broke into the
00:03:17.680
Democrat National Committee? Here in reverse, Democrats broke into the home of the 45th president of the
00:03:22.880
United States. The political persecution of President Donald J. Trump has been going on for years,
00:03:30.040
with a now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia scam, impeachment hoax number one, impeachment hoax number
00:03:36.160
two, and so much more. It just never ends. It is political targeting at the highest level.
00:03:42.240
Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete an acid watch, wash 33,000 emails after they were subpoenaed by
00:03:48.980
Congress. Absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. She even took antique furniture and
00:03:54.740
other items from the White House. I stood up to America's bureaucratic corruption. I restored power
00:04:00.400
to the people and truly delivered for our country like we have never seen before. The establishment
00:04:05.020
hated it. Now, as they watch my endorsed candidates win big victories and see my dominance in all polls,
00:04:12.360
they're trying to stop me and the Republican Party once more. The lawlessness, political persecution,
00:04:18.680
and witch hunt must be exposed and stopped. I will continue to fight for the great American
00:04:25.600
people. Absolutely pure Trumpism, throwing out darts at his rivals, having that fighting happy warrior
00:04:34.580
spirit. It's sort of funny if it weren't an absolute disaster. Now, they raided Donald Trump's home. What
00:04:42.320
did they think they were going to find? Guns? Dynamites? Some secret plan for fascism? Not
00:04:49.600
really. We've just seen the not-so-secret plan for fascism at the hands of the FBI. I'm sorry to read
00:04:54.760
so much to you, but let me read what Ari Fleischer, who I would call a moderate Republican, he was against
00:05:00.380
Trump in 2016, if memory recalls. He was actually Bush's spokesman during the 9-11 era. Ari Fleischer's
00:05:07.480
considered a pretty thoughtful guy. I wouldn't call him a Trump fan, that's for sure. Here's what he
00:05:12.160
said last night, and forgive me for reading so much, but I just think he's spot on. I'll read
00:05:16.880
something. I'll give you my thoughts, of course. Fleischer said, here's why the FBI raid, absent
00:05:21.260
a finding that puts former President Trump behind bars, is so damaging. In other words, Fleischer's
00:05:28.580
saying, if you have found something that is so egregious, we're actually putting a president
00:05:32.900
behind bars, which has never happened before, not even Richard Nixon, not even, you know, would-be
00:05:38.980
President Clinton. Here's what Fleischer says. He says, number one, most governmental institutions
00:05:44.840
are already not trusted by the American people. This raid contributes to mistrust of the FBI.
00:05:50.360
Two, it leads to mistrust of Department of Justice, the courts. Remember, two of the four court-approved
00:05:55.460
warrants against Carter Page were found to be invalid. That was in the Russia, Russia, Russia
00:06:00.620
conspiracy. They got these secret warrants, and they were found later to be invalid. Do you doubt
00:06:05.100
this one will be two? Three, Trump has been subject to numerous probes, all of which turned
00:06:10.720
out empty. If the FBI didn't find the goods yesterday, add this to the list. Four, did the
00:06:17.080
Department of Justice really need to go to this length to enforce the Presidential Paperwork
00:06:23.060
Act? Government lawyers and Trump lawyers couldn't figure this out. The Department of Justice
00:06:27.700
really had to resort to a raid, and that's the thing. A raid on Trump's house, you would think
00:06:32.880
that there was something atrocious going on. They're just haggling over paperwork. What's
00:06:37.020
Trump's and what's the government's? As Trump points out, Hillary Clinton literally destroyed
00:06:41.580
33,000 emails that were under subpoena. Here, Trump's not running away with anything or destroying
00:06:48.460
anything. He's just saying, no, these documents are mine. The government's saying they're not,
00:06:51.760
and they're haggling over it. An FBI raid, that is clear, Putin-style policing.
00:06:58.420
FBI didn't raid Hillary's home to search for her server. They didn't raid the Democratic National
00:07:05.700
Committee to get the server the Russians hacked. They didn't raid Clinton National Security Council
00:07:10.200
advisor Sandy Berger's home to see if he had additional smuggled classified material. Why
00:07:15.960
is Trump held to a different standard? Now, if you're not my age or older, you won't know who Sandy
00:07:21.320
Berger was. He was a Clinton senior aide who literally went into a secure government facility,
00:07:29.600
ripped out pages of a secret document, stuffed them in his pockets, and walked out. Clearly,
00:07:36.320
criminal intent, just outrageous, caught and given a slap on the wrist. No raid on his home.
00:07:43.040
Here, Donald Trump is not pretending he doesn't have anything. He's just saying it's his. Can you
00:07:46.920
imagine? Here's a good one. The Biden White House knows that many Americans won't believe Biden didn't
00:07:52.880
know about this or approve it, even if he didn't know. I suspect this is a headache the Biden White
00:07:57.800
House didn't want. Well, I don't think Joe Biden knows anything that's going on. These are Democratic
00:08:02.940
Party operatives who just can't get over their hatred for Trump. Seven, a precedent has been set.
00:08:08.460
Former presidents, while not above the law, can now have their homes raided by successor
00:08:12.160
administrations. There's no telling where that will lead. Isn't that the truth? Eight, bottom line,
00:08:18.200
FBI better have found smoking gun evidence of crime, not a paperwork to speak. If not, this raid should
00:08:27.320
not have been approved and will backfire into a boost for Trump and a further erosion of trust in
00:08:33.200
vital governmental organizations. My question to Director Wray and Attorney General Garland, was it
00:08:38.620
worth it? Well, they would say absolutely, because they don't really care about public institutions
00:08:45.300
or the public good. It's about partisan vengeance for them. Unprecedented is a word that's thrown
00:08:51.340
around a fair bit, but it really is unprecedented. Richard M. Nixon's home was not raided after
00:08:57.180
Watergate. You would think that Bill Clinton, with so many of his scandals, perhaps his home
00:09:01.860
would be raided, especially after all those trips he took to Jeffrey Epstein's island. Speaking of
00:09:09.200
which, it turns out, and this story in the New York Post shows it in the Daily Mail, absolutely
00:09:14.180
incredible. The judge who issued the warrant for this raid, it's almost impossible to believe,
00:09:21.260
was one of the judges, when he was a lawyer, had Jeffrey Epstein and Epstein's household staff
00:09:28.660
as a client. Let me say that again. The judge who issued the warrant to raid Donald Trump's home
00:09:36.800
when he was a lawyer was Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer. So we don't know who Jeffrey Epstein's client lists
00:09:47.460
were, well, except for Bill Gates, because Melinda Gates told us, and I guess except for Bill Clinton.
00:09:52.260
So that is not subject to an FBI raid. Hillary Clinton is not subject to an FBI raid. But this
00:10:00.440
is. I think this is very troubling. It's literally what they call the deep state, that permanent part
00:10:08.120
of government that you can't vote out, that sees itself as superior to the elected officials. They were
00:10:14.880
problems for Donald Trump even before he took office. You'll remember how they set up General Flynn and set
00:10:20.900
up Trump during the transition period. General Flynn, who was going to be a senior pick for Donald
00:10:25.820
Trump, was making transition-style phone calls to foreign embassies. He was recorded, and he was set
00:10:32.220
up by the deep state, who didn't want General Flynn in high office. And they have been at war with Trump
00:10:38.420
his entire term. And it's been almost two years now since Trump was unelected in November 2020,
00:10:47.080
if you believe the mainstream media. And I don't know the absolute truth on that election.
00:10:52.960
But it's been two years. And they're still not done with Trump. Politicized police. Politicized
00:10:59.980
prosecutors. It's sort of like what happened in Canada under Trudeau's Emergencies Act.
00:11:05.000
They haven't started seizing Trump's bank accounts yet, but they're raiding his home.
00:11:10.580
Now, some of this partly goes to Trump himself. He's the one who put the FBI boss in place now,
00:11:18.960
the FBI boss who's going after him. He never fully prosecuted the criminal Democrats, whether it was
00:11:26.640
Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, or the others who mucked him up. He didn't push back. He let them go
00:11:32.800
unpunished, and they didn't return the favor. They're coming for him viciously.
00:11:37.380
He was a very rare issuer of pardons. Now, I don't think Donald Trump would ever pardon himself
00:11:43.240
because I don't think he would ever admit he did anything wrong or would need to be pardoned.
00:11:47.440
But compare Donald Trump's light touch on the levers of power with those who are coming for him.
00:11:52.900
That's the irony here, is that all the things they accused Donald Trump of, all the things they said
00:12:00.600
he would be, the censor, the fascist, the bully. He wasn't. All of those things were projections
00:12:09.400
of the left of what they would do and could do as soon as they got power again. It's the left that's
00:12:16.600
the censors in American Canada, not the right. It's the left that conducts police raids on their enemies,
00:12:22.140
Hugo Chavez style, Fidel Castro style, not Trump. The first time a former president has ever been
00:12:29.600
raided in his home was by these out of control Democrats against Trump, not by Trump. Now,
00:12:37.220
why would this happen? Well, they want to get Trump. They're obsessed with him. Trump says it's because
00:12:41.980
he's the number one contender to be the next president of the United States after Biden.
00:12:46.000
There's obviously some truth to it, but I think they're just so obsessed by him and the fact that
00:12:51.980
they want to get him because he spoke truth against their power. Joe Biden likes the fact that it's a
00:12:58.840
circus distraction from his mess, whether it's inflation or the recession or the failures in
00:13:07.140
Afghanistan, Ukraine, Taiwan, etc. I should tell you that on the same day that Donald Trump's personal
00:13:15.080
residence was raided by the FBI, Biden announced he's hiring 87,000 new IRS agents, new tax auditors,
00:13:24.240
tax collectors, 87,000. I saw somewhere I want to check it to be double sure, but I think that's more
00:13:31.920
people to go after ordinary Americans than are with the entire U.S. border force. I think more
00:13:38.460
Americans were just hired to wring tax dollars out of Americans than to protect the border.
00:13:43.760
It's ominous because, of course, the power to tax is the power to destroy. And if they can do it to
00:13:50.140
Trump, they'll do it to you. There was absolutely no public interest to this ambush raid on Donald
00:13:58.160
Trump. It's a literally a paperwork dispute. There's no crime afoot here. I can't imagine why the FBI were
00:14:07.280
involved at all other than every nefarious reason I've just alluded to. What happens when people no
00:14:15.160
longer trust the police? In America, they didn't have the same harsh lockdowns that they had in
00:14:21.140
Canada, the U.K. and Australia. In Canada and the U.K. and Australia, I believe the police lost a lot of
00:14:29.500
their support from grassroots people, especially those who are conservative, who typically are the
00:14:33.760
pro-police side because of how vicious they were in imposing lockdowns that had nothing to do with
00:14:39.800
the criminal law. They were political errands for the left. Seriously, having armed cops enforce
00:14:45.260
mask rules or stay six feet apart rules was so insane. And every cop who agreed to it, well, frankly,
00:14:52.500
they deserve to have their reputation lowered. But in the United States, I don't think the police were
00:14:57.180
ever that bad, but they're making up for lost time. The FBI is no longer trustworthy. I'm not sure if the CIA
00:15:04.960
and the NSA ever were. They've been completely weaponized. They're turning themselves into a
00:15:11.120
partisan issue. I hope that if the Republicans take Congress back this fall, which they look like they
00:15:16.900
will do, they'll start to dismantle the deep state that Eisenhower warned about. He called it the
00:15:23.560
military-industrial complex. Eisenhower was right. In the 60s and 70s, a lot of people on the left
00:15:30.520
talked about the deep state. Well, it's still there. It's deeper than ever. They went further
00:15:37.080
than ever than last night. Before I go, let me show you a few clips. One, Mendoza-Diaz actually was on
00:15:42.940
the scene at Mar-a-Lago shortly after it happened. Look at how many people instinctively came out
00:15:48.720
just to honk their horns and show support for Trump. Take a look, just a minute at this.
00:15:53.360
Juan Mendoza reporting for Rebel News. We just got to Mar-a-Lago on scene shortly after the FBI
00:15:59.020
raided the private residence of Donald Trump. As you can see, there's helicopters throughout the
00:16:04.300
area here in Mar-a-Lago. There's a lot of Trump supporters that have arrived here as well.
00:16:10.220
We're arriving closer to Trump's private residence here in Mar-a-Lago. And as you can see,
00:16:15.060
there's already police presence here. It's increased. There's more people here,
00:16:28.360
So it is past 11.30 p.m. and the crowd is starting to die down a bit. The music's gone now,
00:16:36.020
but there's still crowds here supporting Trump and condemning the actions of the FBI,
00:16:40.900
raiding his residence in Mar-a-Lago. So we will be out with a full story soon in Rebel News.
00:16:47.680
So please stay tuned to Rebel News and Rebel News USA for more coverage of this story.
00:16:55.400
I promise you every person there five years ago would have called themselves the most pro-police,
00:17:02.740
pro-prosecutor, pro-law and order person around.
00:17:05.440
Now, I think they distrust police, as R.A. Fleischer warns. And it's because police are not
00:17:13.240
upholding the public interest. They're a very partisan political interest. I wonder which will
00:17:19.120
break first, their institution or America. Stay with us. Our friend David Menzies interviews Rupa
00:17:39.600
Hey, folks, remember how last August the Justin Trudeau liberals announced that anyone who hadn't been
00:17:46.980
vaccinated for COVID-19 would soon be barred from planes and trains? In many cases, these modern-day
00:17:56.080
typhoid Marys, if you will, could no longer travel between provinces even, or leave the country,
00:18:02.000
of course. So if you lived in Winnipeg, say, and wanted to visit your mother on her deathbed in London
00:18:08.160
or Hong Kong, or perhaps even Quebec, you better get jabbed or resign yourself to never seeing your
00:18:16.240
loved one alive ever again. Yet we were repeatedly told that these harsh decisions were based on science.
00:18:24.480
And we had to follow the science, or the pandemic would surely be the death of us all.
00:18:31.040
But now comes word that the so-called scientific civil servants weren't all that, you know,
00:18:37.600
science-y after all. Case in point, nobody in the government's COVID recovery unit,
00:18:43.520
including Jennifer Little, the unit's director general, had any formal education in epidemiology,
00:18:50.940
medicine, or even public health. What the hell? And joining me now is Rupa Subramania,
00:18:59.340
who recently penned a superb feature in Common Sense News. Its title,
00:19:05.500
Court Documents Reveal Canada's Travel Ban Had No Scientific Basis. What a disgrace.
00:19:13.360
So welcome back to the Ezreal Event Show. Rupa, how you been doing?
00:19:16.180
I'm doing well. Thank you for having me. Well, thank you for joining me. Rupa, your article makes
00:19:21.760
for a scathing indictment, and justifiably so, regarding the government's travel ban. Let's cut
00:19:28.100
to the chase, shall we? Why did the Justin Trudeau Liberals lie to us about their policies being
00:19:35.180
scientifically sound? Well, you know, as I note in my story, the rationale, if you're looking for a
00:19:45.960
scientific rationale, a scientific basis for these mandates, you're going to be hard-pressed to find
00:19:51.600
one in these documents. It was clearly a political wedge issue. As many people have pointed out last
00:19:59.300
fall, if you remember, the prime minister announced the mandates on August 13th, and two days later,
00:20:08.300
he called the election. And it was pretty clear at that point when he called the election that
00:20:13.860
he, the liberals were really, wanted to get a majority in place. And so they, and I think this
00:20:23.040
was a political wedge issue. And, but unfortunately, they didn't get the majority that they were hoping
00:20:28.240
for. But as for the mandates themselves, the travel mandate, the travel vaccine mandate, which is what
00:20:33.800
this story is about, where was the scientific rationale? Where were the scientists, where was
00:20:40.120
Teresa Tam? She was not consulted on this PHAC. You know, where, where was PHAC? Where, where were the
00:20:49.640
scientists, doctors, infectious diseases specialists, epidemiologists on this government panel called
00:20:58.360
COVID recovery, which falls under Transport Canada, the director general of this group as a bachelor's
00:21:06.240
degree in English literature. And, and, and these are people, she's the architect of this mandate. And
00:21:14.140
she, she and her, and her, and the group that she heads. But you're, you'd be hard-pressed to find
00:21:22.340
the science behind it. And Rupa, here's the flip side to that question. If today they dropped these
00:21:30.220
mandates, which by the way, is causing all kinds of hellacious issues at airports in Canada, especially
00:21:37.860
Toronto, ranked the worst airport in the world, by the way, Montreal, Vancouver. In other words,
00:21:45.580
having the unvaccinated get onto flights right now and being treated like a full citizen, like the
00:21:53.220
vaccinated are, would that cause any kind of health issue whatsoever? No. See, at this point, what we
00:22:01.200
know about the vaccines is that they're not very good at preventing infections. And that's pretty
00:22:07.340
established. You know, there's a large scientific consensus that points in that direction. So,
00:22:14.020
so at this point, if you're, if you have mandates, and we, they've been suspended at this point,
00:22:20.080
but if you're still making the case that the vaccine mandates helped prevent transmission,
00:22:27.460
then, you know, you're just lying to yourself, or you're just fooling yourself at this point.
00:22:32.280
We know that Omicron was a game changer as far as the pandemic is concerned,
00:22:38.220
because everybody was getting it. I'm triple vaccinated and I got COVID or Omicron, I believe
00:22:44.680
I got Omicron 10 days later. So, you know, and this, and I have three different vaccines in my body.
00:22:52.420
And so, you know, the notion that somehow those who are vaccinated are not passing on the virus to
00:23:00.340
other people, those who are, and those who are unvaccinated are somehow worse than those who are
00:23:07.100
vaccinated. And that, that notion is just ridiculous at this point, because everybody's
00:23:12.900
getting, almost everyone's getting infected. Indeed. I mean, and to see this street theater play
00:23:20.680
out about getting triple jabbed, quadruple jabbed, maybe quintuple jab, then it'll be better for us
00:23:28.400
all. It's downright perverse. But the other issue too, Rupa, is the double standard in the hypocrisy.
00:23:36.000
A few weeks ago, as you know, Justin Trudeau, after one of his junkets somewhere, got on a plane,
00:23:42.400
knowing that he was COVID positive and still flew on that plane. I mean, for goodness sakes,
00:23:51.120
whatever happened to leading by example. And I'm sure, you know, because this, this is the same
00:23:58.320
prime minister who was behind these travel bans for everyone else. I see that, Rupa, as being
00:24:05.100
grotesquely irresponsible. Um, I think I, I would, I would call it, uh, I definitely would say there's
00:24:13.000
a certain amount of hypocrisy, um, and double standard in, in, in how our elected officials,
00:24:19.440
uh, treat, uh, you know, the, the, you know, how they follow the advice that they're, they're giving
00:24:25.500
us. Uh, so we're told to, uh, mask, um, we're encouraged to mask, uh, but, um, but, you know,
00:24:33.360
the prime minister himself has, uh, on numerous occasions, uh, uh, been unmasked when he's overseas,
00:24:40.180
but he's somehow, but he's masked when he's back in Canada. So it begs the question, does the virus
00:24:45.480
behave differently depending on where you are? We know it doesn't. Um, and, uh, so there's certainly
00:24:51.120
a fair bit of hypocrisy. Um, uh, for example, I, I believe the prime minister is in Costa Rica right
00:24:57.520
now. And, um, and I, I, and I think he flew in a private, uh, D and D plane, if I'm not mistaken.
00:25:04.760
Uh, no matter he was, uh, I, I, I, I suspect, uh, I mean, several people pointed out, uh, that he was
00:25:12.780
actually not masked on this plane. Um, but, but, but we're expected to be masked here. Um, so, you know,
00:25:19.620
there's a fair bit of double standard and hypocrisy for sure. Um, and, um, and, you know, it's,
00:25:25.520
and it's been called out quite frequently. Um, and, um, and I think, um, you know, more people are
00:25:31.900
starting to, uh, see the double standard and, and, and, you know, and, uh, and, and call and calling
00:25:37.360
it out as much as they possibly can. Yeah. And you raise a good point about the masking double standard
00:25:42.580
just, uh, earlier today, uh, Rupa, I was at a press conference at Pearson international, even though the
00:25:48.480
masking mandates in Ontario ended on March 21st, guess what? Uh, this is the airport that time
00:25:55.440
forgot. They still require you to wear a mask. Now there's a few thousand people in the airport,
00:26:01.260
but I could, in the days ahead, go down to the Sky Dome in Toronto and sit amongst 50,000 Blue
00:26:08.780
J fans in one facility. There's no mask mandate. I can't make sense of it all, Rupa. Is it the,
00:26:14.660
the, the, you know, the, the coronavirus, uh, respects Blue Jay fans, but it hates international
00:26:21.060
travelers and it will try to infect them? I mean, this is madness. How do you make sense of this all?
00:26:26.680
Well, you can't because the science, what is the science? I mean, how does science distinguish
00:26:32.800
between a Blue Jays game and, um, and, and, uh, and, and, and an airport? Um, sure. One could say that,
00:26:40.040
uh, a Blue Jays game is happening outdoors, uh, there's better air circulation, uh, and an airport
00:26:46.520
is a largely indoor environment. And so with, uh, maybe not the best circulation, air circulation,
00:26:53.100
uh, one could make that argument, I suppose. But, uh, but then you, you look at how, uh, you know,
00:26:59.520
other countries, um, have pursued the mask masking policy. And it's really here when you're,
00:27:05.700
when you're, uh, when you, when you board a plane to come to Canada and you enter, um, and you're
00:27:12.060
at a Canadian airport is when you have to be masked, or if you're on via rail, you have to be masked.
00:27:16.320
Uh, it's, it, that's not the case in many European countries, for example. So again,
00:27:20.700
the question is, does, um, uh, COVID-19 behave, the virus behave differently in Europe, Western Europe,
00:27:29.140
um, India, for that matter, a country of 1.1 billion people. I was there recently, um, about four
00:27:35.300
months ago and, uh, no one was masked and, uh, and, and there was no, um, COVID apocalypse happening,
00:27:44.540
uh, uh, at all. I mean, I, I didn't see any sense. I didn't see any signs of that.
00:27:49.580
So Rupa, uh, one last question. Since we now know that this policy, this travel policy,
00:27:57.180
penalizing unvaxxed Canadians was based on, um, well, lies and falsehoods. As you said earlier,
00:28:04.580
Jennifer Little, uh, wasn't a doctor, uh, wasn't a public health official. She was a, uh, a literature
00:28:11.420
major. I mean, to be or not to be for her, not to be, I would suggest. But since we now know all
00:28:17.240
this, um, where do we go from here? Is there the potential for lawsuits, maybe even a class action?
00:28:24.600
Uh, I mean, I feel that the government should not be able to walk away from this. What are your
00:28:30.240
thoughts, my friend? Um, well, you know, so I, um, hope that there's, uh, some accountability,
00:28:36.960
um, uh, well, let's first start with this. Uh, I think that the mainstream media should be paying
00:28:43.400
some attention to this story. The fact that, um, uh, not a single person in the mainstream media has
00:28:48.620
even acknowledged the story, um, or, you know, forget sharing it, but I, no one's even reached out
00:28:55.400
to me, uh, asking me, uh, questions about, um, you know, uh, what I, what I wrote. Uh, and that's
00:29:02.540
very bizarre. And I hope, I hope, you know, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and,
00:29:07.880
and say that, uh, that, you know, they're still just getting their hands on these documents and
00:29:12.420
that they're going to, um, eventually write something about them. Um, so it's, it's important
00:29:18.260
that the mainstream media covers it, um, as well. Um, and, um, and eventually I'm hoping that there's
00:29:24.620
some accountability. Um, there are many questions to be asked. Um, if you go through the transcripts,
00:29:31.440
the documents, um, you know, I couldn't get into everything, uh, because, you know, I was going with
00:29:36.660
a certain story here, uh, but, uh, you know, there's lots in there and, uh, it's definitely going to raise
00:29:42.320
a lot of questions in the coming days. Uh, and, and hopefully there'll be some accountability,
00:29:47.180
whether it's, uh, at the, uh, in the, in the courts or at the ballot box.
00:29:51.900
Now, Rupa, I'm thinking, hmm, why wouldn't the mainstream media be interested in such an
00:30:00.340
incredible story as, oh yeah, I forgot they're being paid by the federal government to stay in
00:30:06.340
business. I mean, I'm sure the literature major, Jennifer Little knows the proverb,
00:30:11.520
don't bite the hand that feeds. What a disgrace. These are crazy times we're living in.
00:30:17.180
Uh, Rupa, I want to thank you for your time and I want to urge our viewers, uh, go to Common
00:30:22.680
Sense News, read Rupa's article. It is fantastic. You're not going to see it printed anywhere else.
00:30:28.600
Well, I'm grateful for David Manzies for doing that interview. I, uh, apologize. I was away for that,
00:30:44.900
but it's always wonderful to see Rupa again. I'm going to read some letters. Alana Marnik says,
00:30:50.320
I pray that Alexa wins a huge lawsuit against that police brutality. Well, that lawsuit is proceeding
00:30:55.880
forward to. And as I think I've reported to you before, uh, internal affairs, like there's an
00:30:59.880
internal investigation in the police force against that cop as well. So it's not just us who are
00:31:04.160
outraged. I think even the police know that something is deeply wrong there. Realist01 says,
00:31:11.540
really? The same United Nations that are working with Trudeau, Klaus Schwab, World Economic Reform
00:31:15.820
Health Organization in China? Tell me you're joking now. You're talking about us going to the United
00:31:20.480
Nations Human Rights Council. Sheila said it and I said it. We're both skeptics of the UN, as we should
00:31:28.040
be. The UN Human Rights Council itself is colonized by the bad guys in the world. Places like China, North
00:31:34.800
Korea, Iran. It's shocking. But is there a chance? What's the worst that can happen? Okay, we go there,
00:31:43.160
we serve them the document, and they ignore it. They reject it. They throw it out. Okay, so how are we
00:31:49.460
any further behind? But what if they take it up, even in the most minor way, and ask Justin Trudeau to
00:31:56.740
reply to it? Or, who knows, maybe some country that wants to, has a grudge with Trudeau, says, no, let's
00:32:02.640
really look into it. Whatever the motives are, whatever the drama in the background is, is it not worth a long
00:32:08.480
shot? Sheila and I have always said it's a long shot. But as Gresge says, you miss 100% of the shots you don't
00:32:15.320
take. NoName2662, says Sheila, is amazing. I agree with you completely. It was great to have her and Sarah
00:32:24.080
Miller go all the way there. That's a long way to go for, I think they spent more time getting there, and more
00:32:31.240
time coming home, than they spent on the ground, which is too bad. It would have been nice if they had a day or so to
00:32:36.500
walk around. I hear Geneva's a lovely city. I've never been myself. But we were there for business,
00:32:40.720
not for vacation. And I'll keep you posted on how that goes. Well, that's our show for today. Until
00:32:46.620
tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night,
00:32:52.300
Lincoln J reporting for Rebel News for the first time here in the city of Iqaluit. Now I must say
00:33:14.260
it is absolutely beautiful here. It is by far the most remote community I have been to in my entire
00:33:21.220
life. Now I made the trip from Toronto to Iqaluit to show you guys the other side of the story on
00:33:27.280
some very important topics happening here in the far north of Canada. Now for our international
00:33:33.000
viewers who might not be aware, Iqaluit is a city in the territory of Nunavut. It is the only city
00:33:40.120
located in this entire territory. Just to put it into perspective how remote Nunavut truly is,
00:33:46.340
it is twice the size of Ontario with its one and only city of Iqaluit having a population
00:33:53.080
of just over 7,400 people. Due to harsh climatic conditions, the population here remains low and
00:34:01.440
job opportunities are simply hard to come by. Over the next few days, I'm going to be investigating a
00:34:06.720
few different topics here in Nunavut, including the termination of over 1,100 mine workers. I'm going
00:34:14.180
to be looking into a bylaw that is essentially going to remove churches from tax exemptions.
00:34:20.920
And I'm also curious to see how the city of Iqaluit, which is completely run on fossil fuels,
00:34:26.820
is going to transition into the Trudeau government's 2035 net zero emissions agenda. We're going to try to
00:34:33.860
talk to some locals over the next few days, get some different opinions. If you guys appreciate the true,
00:34:39.780
honest, independent journalism we're providing, you can consider donating to help cover the costs of
00:34:45.700
this trip at rebelfieldreports.com. Thanks so much for your support, guys.
