Hello, my Rebels. You know, we use military language in politics sometimes, like battleground
00:00:06.160
states, and he's on target. But what happens if the left actually means their war language,
00:00:12.160
actually gets violent, which I think they're starting to do. I'll talk a bit about that
00:00:16.540
from transgenderism to environmentalism. That's today's show. But first, I want to
00:00:21.140
invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast.
00:00:25.740
We put a lot of effort into the video stuff because that tells a lot of the story. I want
00:00:31.120
you to see it. Go to rebelnewsplus.com. Click subscribe. Eight bucks a month, a bargain if
00:00:36.100
I may say so. And you know that eight bucks a month, it really adds up for us. If we have
00:00:39.940
enough people paying eight bucks a month, we can float our whole boat. We can pay all our
00:00:44.340
staff because we don't get any money from YouTube. We're demonetized and we'll never take money
00:00:49.740
from Trudeau. So it's really you. Please help us out at rebelnewsplus.com.
00:01:12.120
Tonight, environmentalists have declared war against fossil fuels, but what if they mean
00:01:16.680
war literally? It's April 10th and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.
00:01:21.060
The vocabulary of political campaigns includes many military metaphors and words. Even the word
00:01:43.240
campaign itself is military. Its etymology is old French that meant the operation of the military in a
00:01:50.820
field. That's what champagne meant. Words like battleground, fight, target, etc. And I don't
00:01:59.080
mind. Politics really is war by peaceful means, so it's much better, a better way of resolving
00:02:03.680
problems. Winston Churchill, who fought in five wars, said it's better to jaw-jaw than to war-war.
00:02:11.540
Probably sounded better in his accent. By which he meant it was better to argue and negotiate and talk
00:02:17.240
then to shoot each other. But what happens if the other side in politics starts to take their culture
00:02:23.120
war literally? If they actually start killing people? I think that's clearly happening. It's
00:02:30.480
starting to happen and it's revving up. Look at these images. Trans activists with shirts that say
00:02:35.980
trans rights or else with images of guns on them. I've seen the same shirt with images of knives on them.
00:02:42.540
I think most people who wear those shirts are probably just being a bit butch, a bit tough
00:02:47.500
for Instagram clout. But how many people actually believe it or mean it or act on it? One in a
00:02:54.040
thousand maybe? Well, still, that's a lot, isn't it? And add in some extreme hormone therapy that
00:03:01.420
sometimes accompanies these transitions. Add in some political rage and political whipping up,
00:03:07.040
and you've got some real violence on your hands. We spoke with Billboard Chris the other day who is
00:03:14.580
routinely assaulted just for standing quietly and talking about transgender issues. He's assaulted
00:03:20.680
all the time, almost every time. And if the cops care at all, they care to laugh.
00:03:25.320
Chris, but the thing is, right, um, when we get into people's faces and they get into our faces,
00:03:30.940
it doesn't really matter who does the first push. It's considered a consensual fight. And maybe
00:03:36.580
that's something you should... I didn't, no, no, you, that's, I didn't get into people's faces.
00:03:41.860
I was here for... Chris, I saw you get very close to people. You weren't here. You weren't even here.
00:03:46.420
I was... I came and walked... I came out, I came over to your car... Yes, that first time, but the
00:03:53.760
second time... The second time what? Where you were pushed on the ground. Are you kidding me? I'd
00:03:58.560
walked, we'd, I'd been walking away from them. You're trying to, now you're trying to insinuate
00:04:02.960
that that was a mutual thing. Like, my gosh, mutual thing. I'd walked away from the crowd three times.
00:04:08.060
They kept following me. Then they surrounded me from all sides, started yelling in my ear from
00:04:12.500
inches away while you all did nothing. And then when I can't even get out of that surrounding
00:04:19.120
and I get punched in the face, I get pulled. You're telling me that's a mutual engagement?
00:04:27.060
Yes, it is. Yeah, she's so gross. I hope you signed our petition at fireofficerbachman.com.
00:04:32.500
Did you see this? Trans extremists attacking a female swimmer who dared to give a talk about
00:05:00.660
I'm coming, I'm good, I'm good. Trust me, I'm good.
00:05:56.140
That's in San Francisco, that used to be a very feminist city, not anymore.
00:06:26.140
Here's a woman nicknamed Posey Parker, a feminist from the UK, who was assaulted in New Zealand.
00:06:56.140
And of course, there was the mass murder by a transgender extremist of six people at a Christian school.
00:07:24.980
And police refused to release her transgender manifesto.
00:07:30.640
They use words like fight and attack, literally, don't they?
00:07:36.700
But as Mao said, power comes from the barrel of a gun.
00:07:40.880
Stalin was told about the Pope's view on things.
00:07:43.260
And he asked, well, how many divisions does the Pope have?
00:07:46.740
If the left knows about real power, if they can't win the political game, where we use
00:07:53.160
warlike words as metaphors, they move to real war, politics by other means.
00:07:58.400
The left no longer feels bound by the moral code of society, by the social contract.
00:08:03.320
When they lose an election, they claim it was stolen.
00:08:08.820
When they win, as in 2020, they call it anyone else who challenges the elections election deniers.
00:08:18.380
They only use principles as a rhetorical argument against those who do still have principles.
00:08:27.300
I see news about violence in the environmental movement.
00:08:35.740
Take a look when anarchists attack how police say a peaceful indigenous led protest over
00:08:42.680
a B.C. pipeline was hijacked by violent outsiders.
00:08:48.780
I'm surprised that Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster published this at all.
00:08:53.060
There are some flaws with it, but it's interesting.
00:08:57.200
A security guard was formed in a truck near a work site by a group of people in masks and
00:09:05.740
He was then forced to flee into the dead of night while the assailants escaped.
00:09:10.440
When the RCMP released those details last week about a recent incident along the Coastal
00:09:14.600
Gas Link Pipeline project near Houston, B.C., they could have copied and pasted them from
00:09:19.460
a news release they issued more than a year ago.
00:09:25.160
Because while the incident on March 26 resulted in the alleged theft of a chainsaw and some
00:09:29.700
unrelated arrests, what happened at the work site on February 17, 2022, was far more dangerous and
00:09:36.460
During that attack, assailants swung axes into the side of security trucks.
00:09:40.880
A police officer was injured in a booby trap and tens of millions of dollars in damage was done.
00:09:46.400
But more than a year later, not a single suspect has been taken into custody.
00:09:53.060
Not a word from Justin Trudeau or Marco Mendicino or Chrystia Freeland on any of this.
00:10:01.180
They deployed ride horses because of some horn honking truckers who had parked illegally.
00:10:10.100
I wonder if it's because a Greenpeace criminal named Stephen Gilbeau is in the same federal
00:10:19.360
And much more scary, he committed a home invasion crime, terrifying the wife of then Alberta
00:10:28.060
And imagine these people storming the house, climbing on the roof.
00:10:30.380
I wonder if Stephen Gilbeau was in the cabinet, lobbying behind the scenes to protect these
00:10:39.260
But here's where the CBC reverts to its form and lies.
00:10:43.320
Or maybe it's Trudeau's RCMP that's lying, or maybe both.
00:10:47.580
According to the Mountie in charge of the investigation, a local group of peaceful protesters with environmental
00:10:53.600
and indigenous land rights concerns was infiltrated by outsiders with a different agenda.
00:10:58.900
Quote, we saw a number of people come into the protest camps that had been involved in
00:11:04.140
previous protests elsewhere in the country, elsewhere in North America, that had a propensity
00:11:08.900
to cause violence, Chief Superintendent John Brewer told the CBC News.
00:11:18.300
A small group of people who aren't necessarily tied to each other, but subscribed to an ideology
00:11:28.900
In Brewer's words, targeting government, government facilities, government agencies, infrastructure.
00:11:38.020
What government facilities, agencies, infrastructure?
00:11:44.440
Trucks and security guards, they work for a private company.
00:11:57.340
Why, that just happens to be Trudeau's agenda now, doesn't it?
00:12:00.220
It is a fundamental responsibility of any Canadian prime minister, and it's a historical
00:12:04.660
responsibility, to get our resources to market.
00:12:08.720
We are a country of resources, and we need to get those to market.
00:12:12.800
But in the 21st century, getting our resources to market needs to be done not just by, sort
00:12:19.300
of, by diktat, but by doing it responsibly, sustainably, and including people in the process,
00:12:28.100
both on consultations, including science, including indigenous communities, in the way
00:12:35.040
I've said time and time again, and you're all tired of hearing me say it, you can't
00:12:39.860
make a choice between what's good for the environment and what's good for the economy.
00:12:49.280
We need to manage the transition off of our dependence on fossil fuels.
00:12:53.220
That is going to take time, and in the meantime, we have to manage that transition.
00:12:57.520
So we have a violent group of environmental activists that is engaging in eco-terrorism,
00:13:04.720
Then again, he didn't speak out against the burning and the vandalism, the violent attacks
00:13:09.840
on Canadian churches either, did he, even though about 50 of them were hit.
00:13:17.520
CBC News pulled the court documents to detail every arrest related to the pipeline injunction
00:13:22.220
since 2018, and then cross-referenced those names with other sources.
00:13:26.120
We found roughly 70% of the people taken into custody were not from the area.
00:13:31.340
Some were from other parts of BC, some from other provinces, and two were from the U.S.
00:13:37.740
By the way, this is literally what Trudeau accused the trucker convoy of being, outside
00:13:42.080
influences, even foreign influences, and of course, who is paying for all this?
00:13:48.220
Look, in northern BC, these aren't just ordinary hippies.
00:13:53.100
However, when RCMP arrived at the crime scene, some attackers were still there, and police
00:13:57.880
gave chase on foot, but when an officer was injured after stepping on a board with nails
00:14:03.260
driven through it, what Brewer calls a man trap, the pursuit was called off over safety
00:14:09.580
The attackers then used snowmobiles and the path that had been cleared for the pipeline,
00:14:14.100
which runs parallel to the access road, to make their getaway.
00:14:17.380
While officers were still at the site assessing the threat and securing the scene, the attackers
00:14:21.840
had ditched their snowmobiles at a nearby protest camp to meet up with waiting vehicles.
00:14:27.540
They then drove down the access road until they reached the Yellowhead Highway and disappeared
00:14:33.840
According to Brewer, investigators believed the attack and the escape had been rehearsed.
00:14:40.620
Brewer called the latter one of the most complex situations he's ever dealt with.
00:14:43.740
It was planned, it was practiced, and carried out in a very methodical manner, he said.
00:14:54.240
Natural gas, that's the clean, burning, cheap, plentiful source of energy.
00:14:58.360
I wonder who is paying for and organizing and training these terrorists.
00:15:06.040
They're the people who would benefit from stopping Canadian natural gas.
00:15:10.420
I mean, they're the people who make natural gas now.
00:15:15.840
They don't want Canadian energy in the world market.
00:15:23.940
Anarchists who seem pretty organized, who just happen to have the resources and skills to
00:15:28.640
mount a years-long eco-terrorist attack on a Canadian private sector energy project.
00:15:35.580
But really, how different are they than Trudeau or Guilbeau?
00:15:38.820
Or from this guy, who's running for the NDP in the province of Alberta.
00:15:47.820
Hydrocarbon must go away, said star NDP candidate.
00:15:53.540
It's a story in Post Media referring to this guy, Samir Kayande, the star candidate for
00:16:01.500
the NDP in the Calgary Elbow District that used to be where Ralph Klein ran.
00:16:06.380
Here's what Kayande wrote in the CBC a couple of years ago.
00:16:10.980
What do you do when a dominant export business goes away?
00:16:15.680
I speak, of course, of hydrocarbons and Alberta.
00:16:33.500
Feel free to jump down to the comments to argue this point because you will get nothing out
00:16:40.300
Even in its currently reduced state, oil and gas contributes massively to Canada's economy.
00:16:46.400
Alberta still has the highest wages in Canada, driving in-migration and supporting communities
00:16:51.660
These good jobs come from the geology that put oil and gas here and in a few other places.
00:16:56.720
Now that those good jobs can't be counted on, this is the right time to think about the future.
00:17:03.160
And I don't just mean diversification, which implies spreading our economy across multiple
00:17:08.940
Instead, I am talking about the replacement of a dominating export-oriented industry with
00:17:22.200
Imagine with oil near $100 a barrel with Saudi Arabia and Russia and OPEC agreeing to reduce
00:17:29.680
Germany, by the way, came begging to Trudeau for our natural gas.
00:17:35.720
Trudeau condescendingly said no to them, offering them hydrogen or whatever moon dust he's selling
00:17:44.200
Obviously, we talked a lot about how Canada can be a reliable supplier, not just of energy,
00:17:49.800
but of critical minerals, of commodities and resources, including agricultural resources
00:17:57.660
that the world is going to need as we move towards a net zero economy around the world.
00:18:04.560
We're very excited about the LNG Canada project, which was the largest private investment in
00:18:10.780
Canada, a project led by Shell on the West Coast, in which a Japanese company, Mitsubishi,
00:18:16.940
is a significant partner, because we know that being a reliable supplier of energy is important.
00:18:24.560
And we're going to continue to look for ways to be that reliable supplier of energy.
00:18:29.720
But even as we do talk about things like LNG and other traditional sources of energy, we
00:18:36.560
know the world is moving aggressively and meaningfully towards decarbonizing, towards diversifying,
00:18:46.720
And that's where the agreements that we've already seen develop between Japanese and Canadian
00:18:52.820
companies on hydrogen, on ammonia, on various new technologies are really exciting.
00:18:59.720
Hey, no problem, if Justin Trudeau doesn't want to sell Canadian energy, there's plenty
00:19:06.860
Germany inked a huge deal with Qatar, the Al Jazeera sponsoring, Al Qaeda sponsoring terrorist
00:19:15.180
Japan inked a huge deal with Oman and the United States, which fracks a lot of natural gas.
00:19:20.620
Trudeau absolutely agrees with this NDP candidate, with the eco-terrorist, no more oil or gas,
00:19:28.040
except for the oil and gas that he personally uses, of course, especially in his private
00:19:41.660
Morgan CEO suggests government seize private property to quicken climate initiatives.
00:19:55.800
He has a lot of private property himself, but he's talking about stealing yours.
00:20:00.700
Morgan, a few years ago, take a look at this story.
00:20:04.440
Morgan chased to spend millions on new jets and luxury airport hangar.
00:20:10.900
Morgan Chase, the recipient of $25 billion in TARP funds, that's Troubled Assets Recovery
00:20:17.620
Program, is going ahead with a $138 million plan to buy two new luxury corporate jets and
00:20:22.540
build the premier corporate aircraft hangar on the eastern seaboard to house them.
00:20:27.120
NBC News has learned the financial giant's upgrade includes nearly $120 million for two
00:20:33.100
Gulfstream 650 planes and $18 million for a lavish renovation of a hangar at the Westchester
00:20:40.540
Literally, as he was taking a bank bailout from taxpayers, at that same moment, he was buying
00:20:51.380
Those are in addition to the jets he already has.
00:20:53.940
But you need to have your property expropriated for his solar panel scheme or whatever he's cooking
00:21:02.000
up now, but really, how much different is it to seize your property as opposed to the
00:21:17.540
You said in French, Canada continues to be an open and welcoming country, but that we're
00:21:35.040
favouring or we favour people, people who come in an irregular way.
00:21:42.860
One of the great strengths that Canada has is that we can continue to be a place that
00:21:53.520
People around this country understand that welcoming people to our communities grows our economy,
00:22:02.000
adds depth and richness to our lives, and builds a stronger future for us all.
00:22:07.680
But a big part of that is predicated on people having confidence that we have a strong
00:22:12.620
immigration system, that it's rigorously applied, that it actually is fair and responsible.
00:22:20.060
And that's why we're continuing to move forward.
00:22:22.340
We will continue to do more and more to welcome in people from around the world.
00:22:27.140
But we're going to make sure that it's done in the right ways, appropriately, so people
00:22:31.600
aren't putting themselves at risk by trying to cross borders illegally, where they're not
00:22:37.260
giving money to criminals to help them come to a different country, but we're taking in people
00:22:42.480
in a way that maximizes their chances of success.
00:22:46.040
So he calls the people who smuggle bogus refugees across the Roxham Road border, he calls them
00:22:54.800
Now, of course, they are human trafficking, but those criminals have been aided and abetted
00:23:05.960
He's the one who instructed RCMP not to turn anyone back, to, in fact, help them bring their
00:23:14.000
luggage across the border, process them, and then set them free inside Canada.
00:23:19.900
What is that other than participating, enabling, fomenting, allowing, and enriching the smugglers?
00:23:34.440
And Alexa Lavoie, our star reporter from Montreal, is not too far away from Roxham Road.
00:23:41.700
And in fact, she has been visiting that place quite frequently, including a recent visit after
00:23:58.940
Now, you've been down there on the Canadian side, on the American side.
00:24:03.240
In fact, one of these human smugglers hit you, which was shocking and surprised us.
00:24:10.460
Of course, we often have security accompany our reporters.
00:24:13.660
But I had no idea that in a place crawling with cops, you'd be assaulted.
00:24:21.380
And he knew those RCMP on the Canadian side wouldn't do anything.
00:24:32.320
By the way, the video that we saw from Justin Trudeau this morning, it really smelled elections coming up.
00:24:44.460
And I think it just tried to gain more votes on this side.
00:24:53.080
So I came back to Roxham Road in the Quebec side three days.
00:24:58.080
No, actually two days after they closed the Roxham Road because I wanted to be sure that that road was closed.
00:25:05.620
What I actually noticed is more taxi arriving and bring some people to cross illegally still.
00:25:13.580
But we know that the process behind have changed.
00:25:16.480
So now what happened is like, yes, they can still cross illegally into the country.
00:25:21.360
But the RCMP are driving them back to the legal port of entry that will be Saint-Bernard-de-Lacol where the Border Patrol will decide for them what will happen if they will be received for treatment for their crime or they will be deported in the U.S.
00:25:42.340
So, so far, me and Lincoln Jay, we actually noticed that when we came back on the U.S. side that, yes, indeed, the U.S. immigration and border place is full of people being deported from Canada.
00:26:04.900
I haven't seen the footage yet, but let's see if we can give a sneak preview of some of it to our viewers.
00:26:15.120
Oh, were people suspected of crossing the border illegally?
00:26:44.680
So right now, I don't know if you saw, but we have many, many cars of border patrol from the U.S.A. in Champlain.
00:26:57.040
And what they say to us is now they suspect that some people will cross illegally.
00:27:03.600
So it's why they are actually controlling the pyramid.
00:27:06.400
I heard you tell us at our editorial meeting this morning that there was one person who was encouraging the border crossers, who was telling them to do it, who was giving them instructions on how to do it.
00:27:21.700
And you told me, if I heard you right, that she was the mayor of a town in Quebec.
00:27:28.700
So, actually, the person who I saw many times, and she's been on some of the documentary about Roxham Road years ago.
00:27:39.500
She's there almost every day bringing, like, clothes and gloves to the migrants, some toys as well, telling them everything will be OK when they will cross, no worries, everything will be all right, really to calm them down.
00:28:01.640
So in the U.S. side where Roxham Road is, it's a small town from the New York state.
00:28:18.860
So the New York mayor of a town called Champlain, I heard Champlain, I assumed it was Francais.
00:28:25.440
She is actually helping to traffic these migrants across the border.
00:28:36.020
And I know that the RCMP are aware that she is the mayor, too.
00:28:44.920
And now that nobody's crossing at Roxham Road, Lincoln Jay and me, we saw her at the bus station where the migrant is arriving from New York and jumping on the cab for going to the Lego port of entry.
00:29:01.100
And you've referenced Lincoln Jay, another Rebel News reporter.
00:29:05.000
I just want to show a clip of when he and you went down to New York City, literally to Grand Central Terminal, the big transit hub in New York.
00:29:20.260
Lincoln went undercover as if he was a migrant.
00:29:24.520
And he rode with the migrants in the bus, in the cab.
00:29:27.960
Here's just a clip of that very exciting undercover reporting.
00:29:32.980
And you were sort of driving alongside with the second camera.
00:29:40.540
I'm in the back of a taxi cab waiting to go to Roxham Road.
00:29:47.060
The bus driver said he's going to try and get a few more people to make the trip cheaper.
00:30:27.960
So I'm in Roxham Road, and I'm waiting, actually, for Lincoln Jay to arrive.
00:30:38.840
He just arrived in Plattsburgh, and he took a cab.
00:31:05.980
That you're going to keep my luggage here hostage?
00:31:17.000
We have to go to the police who are looking, though.
00:31:21.760
The police will be looking at you all day long.
00:31:28.820
Well, I'll have to transfer your money there or something, man.
00:32:14.160
I came with everybody in the taxi from the Greyhound.
00:32:17.740
There's people advertising that they're doing a taxi service right to this border.
00:32:24.620
Can I not walk across this border with everybody else?
00:33:01.220
So I get a free stay in a hotel if I cross here?
00:33:16.940
I hope you'll continue to go back there, both on the Canadian side and the U.S. side.
00:33:22.000
Because it is the world's longest undefended border, my worry is that these migrants will
00:33:34.840
And there's every quarter mile, I can imagine there's another little road like that.
00:33:40.260
It'll be interesting if the migrants try and their human traffickers try and smuggle people
00:33:46.960
And I look forward to visible proof that Trudeau has indeed stopped the border crossings because
00:34:00.800
He was the one who instructed the police to allow it.
00:34:11.700
But I would say that, yes, indeed, we went to so many small routes like the Roxham Road
00:34:19.860
And we were talking with Border Patrol from the U.S. side and they say, yes, it's happened
00:34:24.140
every day that some people are crossing not at Roxham Road, but other like small paths
00:34:31.220
But of course, they have camera and sensor that if someone is there, they will be like
00:34:41.640
But in fact, that we heard from other people that work closely with the migrant that some
00:34:50.420
of the taxi are bringing them somewhere else where nobody can see them and they cross illegally.
00:34:56.840
So in fact, now we have a bigger problem because some people are crossing illegally in our country and they disappear
00:35:04.240
afterwards and we don't know where they are, who they are and what will happen with them.
00:35:12.980
The way you're covering it and Lincoln Jay, I love the fact that you speak English and French
00:35:18.680
and Spanish, so you've been talking to the different migrants, finding out where they're from.
00:35:23.420
Folks, if you want to see Alexa's fine work on this and Lincoln Jay, and we've had other
00:35:28.120
reporters in the past too, go to RoxhamRoadExposed.com.
00:35:52.420
The first one is about the secret complaints under Bill C-36.
00:35:57.520
You can complain against someone in secret and have them accused as a hate crime and never
00:36:02.640
Just in case, Rumble says, non-disclosure of the identity of the complainant simply means
00:36:07.900
that there doesn't need to be an actual complainant.
00:36:10.300
It's very convenient because now the government itself can initiate its own complaints.
00:36:14.680
All the while, they can look at us and shrug their shoulders while claiming it wasn't us.
00:36:20.280
Oh, I mean, anyone with an ax to grind, anyone with an interest in the matter.
00:36:23.980
And of course, since you get 20 grand a pop, it's a real growth industry.
00:36:31.340
Tyson says, to your question, why the big push for transgenderism?
00:36:38.180
My next best theory is a direct China war tactic to weaken us.
00:36:41.900
Yeah, I don't think it's a coincidence that so much of TikTok's content, and then there's
00:36:51.380
It's no surprise that TikTok in North America is extremely woke, transgenderism, all sorts
00:36:59.340
That's not what TikTok's like in China, I can assure you.
00:37:02.180
Joe Boudreau says, Ezra, Manny Montenegrino, said he could spend two hours with you.
00:37:09.420
How about a two-part interview with him at another time?
00:37:12.480
He's so perceptive about what our liberals are doing to us.
00:37:15.680
Well, Joe, you know what they say about showbiz?
00:37:20.360
I'm glad that you want more, Manny, as opposed to if we had too much, Manny, and you said I
00:37:25.900
I think having Manny on, I don't know, once a month or so, he's got so many things to talk
00:37:29.620
about, so I'll file that away in my mind, and we'll make sure to have him back, but
00:37:38.600
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home,
