Summary

Why should others go to jail when you're the biggest carbon consumer? Why do you lock down the whole world, healthy people and sick people? How can you lock anyone down who's not a criminal? And why do people who are not criminals just go along with it?

00:00:00.000 tonight i think we've all been lonely during the lockdowns and the truckers have made us feel
00:00:19.680 together again it's february 10th and this is the ezra levant show
00:00:23.320 why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer i know
00:00:29.220 there's 8 500 customers here and you won't give them an answer the only thing i have to say to
00:00:34.880 the government about why i publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so
00:00:39.400 there is no scientific basis for the lockdowns there never was i don't even think they pretended
00:00:54.220 it had never been done before prior to 2020 lockdowns is a word usually used to describe
00:01:00.300 collective punishment in prisons there was a rowdiness or a riot or a fight everyone would
00:01:06.460 be punished by being locked down in their cells how do you lock down the whole world healthy people
00:01:12.660 and sick people how do you just do that how do you lock anyone down who's not a criminal
00:01:17.500 and how do people who who are not prisoners just go along with it it had never been done before
00:01:25.080 en masse it had never been studied before the consequences of it the side effects of it i mean
00:01:30.680 physical mental commercial social any of it it was just ordered not after a parliamentary debate but
00:01:37.580 by people in lab coats and we all obeyed people in lab coats they always did their skype in their lab
00:01:46.640 coats or their doctor's scrubs maybe with a stethoscope even if they were at home they would
00:01:53.060 put on their scrubs because they were really being actors they had their stethoscope while visible on tv
00:01:59.300 were they going to listen to someone's heart live on tv no it was a prop you see they're actors
00:02:05.300 there's power in a white lab coat i should wear one when i do my show it says expert it says official
00:02:12.760 we learned in the milgram experiments in the 1960s that people will do terrible things if
00:02:18.900 someone in a lab coat tells them to they say it's okay say they'll take responsibility for just do it
00:02:25.220 in the milgram experiments people would literally electrocute innocent people while they screamed
00:02:33.560 if a lab coat man told them to
00:02:36.820 i want the 180 volts please continue
00:02:42.120 neely you're gonna get a shot 180 volts
00:02:47.060 i can't stand it i'm not gonna kill that man
00:02:56.120 do you hear them hollering they said before the shocks may be painful but they're not dangerous
00:03:00.620 they're hollering he can't stand it what if something happens to him
00:03:03.380 the experiment requires that you continue teaching
00:03:06.660 yeah but uh... i'm not going to get that man sick of that
00:03:11.420 he's hollering that
00:03:13.960 you know what i mean i mean
00:03:15.720 whether learner likes it or not we must go on until he's learned all the words
00:03:19.060 i'd refuse to take the responsibility of getting heard in there
00:03:23.400 i'm not i mean he's under hollering
00:03:26.420 it's absolutely essential that you continue teacher
00:03:29.420 there's too many left here and i mean jeez he gets wrong here there's too many of them left
00:03:35.360 i mean who's going to take the responsibility if anything happens to that gentleman
00:03:38.120 i'm responsible for anything that happens here
00:03:40.520 continue please
00:03:42.260 all right next one slow
00:03:44.120 wrong
00:03:45.720 answer his neck
00:03:47.520 300 volts
00:03:52.200 of course the screamer was an actor
00:03:54.520 but the subject of the experiment didn't know that
00:03:57.560 so yeah
00:03:58.460 we just all went along
00:04:00.400 with the milgram experiment and we all failed it didn't we
00:04:05.320 uh...
00:04:06.880 here's a major study published by johns hopkins university very prestigious university
00:04:12.560 lockdowns in europe and the united states only reduced mortality by
00:04:17.160 0.2 percent on average
00:04:20.360 so you destroyed the world you destroyed everyone's own personal world you ruin
00:04:24.080 families you ruin businesses you ruin schools you ruin churches you treated us all like prisoners you destroyed two years of our lives for a 0.2 point 0.2 percent difference but i dispute even that because of course
00:04:34.320 how many people did your lockdowns kill how many lives were ruined by the lockdown just in
00:04:40.560 in canceled surgeries and medical exams just in depression and drug use and in despair
00:04:46.160 in high schoolers never having a prom and in people having a year of their life deleted
00:04:52.400 they didn't ask us by the way they told us they they threatened us actually they jailed those of us who dared to defy the milgram experiment they didn't even vote on it there were no parliamentary debates on it a friend of mine objected to my support for the truckers demands saying that's not how governments are supposed to work and you know what he is so right but governments aren't really working are they who died and made anthony
00:05:14.400 anthony fauci or theresa tam the pope why a lockdown it had never been done before
00:05:21.200 why it devastated our economy so who does that help qui bono in latin who benefits well
00:05:28.480 online companies like bell they've made billions as all online companies have oh i forgot to say bell
00:05:36.480 that's all owned ctv news i wonder if that influences ctv's coverage of the lockdown
00:05:41.600 amazon loved the destruction of its bricks and mortar competitors the mom and pop shops i wonder if that's why the washington post which is owned by amazon's jeff bezos i wonder if that's why they love the lockdown so much
00:05:55.280 i know why china loves them they have surpassed the west now economically militarily now haven't they
00:06:03.440 but let me talk about the truckers again because they have done something emotional spiritual even
00:06:09.360 i don't mean any of the official organizers i think the truckers are actually
00:06:13.040 very disorganized leaderless even there's a nice lady who set up a gofundme account that did great until
00:06:19.120 big tech stole the money from her she's nice
00:06:21.280 but i doubt that one in a hundred truckers even know her name when i was in ottawa i found the whole
00:06:27.680 thing rather leaderless and unscripted a trucker asked me to give a quick speech so i did but there
00:06:33.600 was no actual mc no official anything there was no program no problem i as i said in my speech the convoy
00:06:41.520 itself was the point and here's what i mean i was thinking about this bit lockdowns that's what they
00:06:50.160 do to prisoners but many prisoners have have a cellmate you know because without that a man could go crazy
00:06:56.800 locked in a cage without someone to talk to to see to interact with someone else's presence you'd go mad
00:07:04.400 from loneliness from isolation from a lack of mental stimulation it would be like being in a white
00:07:09.840 out snowstorm like hearing white noise all the time you would go mad that's why so many people call
00:07:18.560 solitary confinement a kind of torture i saw it with my own eyes in the case of tommy robinson who
00:07:23.600 was put in a hole for 42 days he came out you could tell immediately just by looking at him
00:07:30.720 that he was damaged that he had shell shock well they did that to all of us to all of us literally we
00:07:37.760 were locked down and if we were with our families that was one thing but many people especially
00:07:44.480 in the big city young people live on their own seniors live on the road young people starting
00:07:48.880 their careers locked into their home now with only bell and amazon and netflix as their friends but
00:07:55.280 just as long as you keep paying them but a tv screaming is not a friend no matter what mark
00:08:00.480 zuckerberg and his anti-human metaverse promise you know i i think of toronto it's the same in vancouver
00:08:08.800 in all big cities imagine being in solitary confinement for the better part of two years
00:08:13.680 and and if you lived in a small apartment there's a lot of those in places like toronto new york if
00:08:18.800 you live by yourself well where could you even go maybe you had a balcony but frankly most most don't
00:08:24.800 same montreal vancouver wherever we'll go to the park right well yeah no remember they they closed those
00:08:32.720 and then the psychopaths made little circles on the park trinity bellwards big park in downtown
00:08:38.400 toronto where you had to sit if you're outside those lines you get a ticket like a prisoner
00:08:43.520 gyms were closed at least the prisoners of gyms so you got fatter no problem order in food
00:08:49.840 the zoom class had a backyard maybe a swimming pool maybe they had a country cottage maybe they could go
00:08:55.840 just go down to florida to work from their laptops oh don't worry the fancy people do just fine
00:09:00.080 but what do they do to the regular people the working people
00:09:06.160 but it's the aloneness i want to talk about just for a moment like a prisoner but a prisoner in
00:09:10.560 solitary there were rules never followed by the politicians themselves against gathering even with
00:09:18.160 your families they told you not to gather over christmas or easter or thanksgiving they didn't follow
00:09:22.720 the rules here's alberta premier jason kenney having a party when it was illegal for you to go to a church
00:09:28.560 for illegal for you to have a family over he made you lonely he made you alone and you probably
00:09:37.280 followed his rules because you're a citizen and you're trusting or maybe you were really scared
00:09:42.240 maybe you were scared of the virus just as likely maybe you were scared of the government punishing you
00:09:48.560 or scared of being demonized by the mob who were also scared of something and if you did go out you put
00:09:55.520 on a mask a symbol of fear and apartness and obedience and isolation prisoners wear a uniform
00:10:01.840 too a sign of identification a sign that you're the property of something you know when you join a cult
00:10:09.440 so untold they isolate you from your friends and your family cut you off you can't gather for easter
00:10:15.840 or christmas or anytime you can't socialize with anyone other than the cult and its leader the leader who
00:10:21.360 keeps you in a state of fear and obedience rewards and punishment but mainly isolation from your normal
00:10:27.600 social course of life to break your spirit to make you scared and tired to make you susceptible to
00:10:34.000 persuasion and compliance to make you anxious we are social animals we need to see friends and family
00:10:41.680 but we also need to see strangers people on the street we need to say hello we need to say good morning
00:10:46.880 and how are you and see you later and nice to see you we need that not just for other sakes but for our
00:10:52.560 own they turned us into prisoners but i say again prisoners are only in lockdowns if they do something
00:10:59.600 wrong but what did we do wrong and why did every politician ever get to avoid lockdowns look at trudeau
00:11:07.360 partying like a rock star with other world leaders no masks while locking you down
00:11:12.720 and that is what the convoy and the truckers were proof that you were not alone proof that you were
00:11:20.960 not mad to question all this this new world that none of us were asked if we wanted to join a world
00:11:27.680 that was imposed upon us simultaneously in every country and city how did that happen how did these
00:11:32.480 untried methods get enacted everywhere at the same time and all with the same viciousness how did it happen
00:11:39.360 to make us lonely and alone and the cowards who were supposed to defend us did not and so came
00:11:48.240 the truckers unorganized disorganized but a visual symbol of togetherness driving together like a
00:11:55.040 mother duck and her ducklings down the road chattering to each other on their cb radios and on apps now too
00:12:01.680 a feeling of community honking horns waving smiling no masks everyone was together they would stop and have
00:12:08.720 meals together they would fill up for gas together and soon other people would come out to meet them
00:12:14.240 just for the togetherness on overpasses get outside meet your strangers meet your neighbors say hello
00:12:20.320 find some common ground talk a bit smile maybe a common purpose confirm i'm okay you're okay we're okay
00:12:28.320 it's the system that's crazy not us a million people did this a million people stopped being afraid
00:12:34.640 stopped being lonely went out to join the convoy look at this party genuine love and brotherly friendship
00:12:42.640 happiness they wanted us scared not happy but we're gonna be happy the truckers ended our loneliness by
00:12:50.640 telling us that it was okay to go out and gather they're having fun they're they're gathering they're
00:12:57.680 making a community of sorts and trudeau just snarls and growls and calls them nazis it's the images
00:13:06.080 that gave me hope it reminds me of when i met anatoly sharansky the soviet dissident he's now in israel
00:13:13.280 when he was in prison in the gulag in siberia when ronald reagan called the soviet union the evil empire
00:13:22.240 shiransky told me that the kgb guard threw into his prison cell a copy of pravda
00:13:30.480 the soviet propaganda newspaper page after page denouncing reagan for being wild and dangerous and
00:13:37.600 evil and yet buried under 10 000 words of insults reagan's words were still reported
00:13:45.680 he had called out evil by its name he had called the soviet union the evil empire those two words
00:13:52.880 he had seen the truth and whereas the kgb had expected sharansky to be sad and dejected by reading
00:13:59.600 pravda it was the opposite he told me he was elated and the prisoners who were all isolated but they
00:14:06.640 tapped the message to each other by tapping on their plumbing pipes in morse code he told me
00:14:13.600 they tapped to each other that the president of the united states had spoken the truth
00:14:21.280 and that help would come and indeed it did come despite ten thousand words of denunciation
00:14:29.200 the truth was still seen i don't care who hates the truckers justin trudeau jason kenney the media
00:14:37.840 whatever my point is we all can see the truth of the truckers under ten thousand lies the same way
00:14:45.760 anatoly sharansky could read the hate propaganda in pravda and still know the truth that ronald reagan
00:14:52.080 said those two words evil empire the truckers have set us free free from the prison of our houses
00:15:00.480 but also from the prison of our minds you don't have to be lonely anymore you can you can live
00:15:10.480 stay with us for more
00:15:11.280 well unless something breaks between the time we're recording this and the time it airs
00:15:28.960 the trucker blockades have grown in this one way although ottawa is sort of in a stalemate and jason
00:15:37.680 kenny's thumping his chest about the one at the montana alberta border i think the one to watch
00:15:43.120 is the ambassador bridge that links detroit and windsor because it's hard to believe it but a
00:15:48.560 quarter of all canada u.s trade goes on that bridge it's really an essential part of the auto industry
00:15:55.920 and other manufacturing and for trucks to block them well all of a sudden this is more than a spectacle
00:16:02.080 to our american friends it's an economic factor and i don't know if joe biden needs any more of
00:16:08.320 those joining us now via skype is our friend joel pollack senior editor at large brightbar.com
00:16:14.000 who covers the democrats as his beach well great to see you again um before we talk about the
00:16:18.800 ambassador bridge tell me how the trucker rebellion the trucker spring has been covered in america because
00:16:26.000 normally canada is that boring place that american media ignore except for where the cold fronts come
00:16:32.400 from and the weather maps you guys have been talking about canada haven't you yes canada has become a
00:16:40.160 big part of the political discourse here and i actually think that the canadian truckers had a
00:16:46.800 profound effect on american policy here and let me explain how that happened so thanks to your
00:16:53.680 coverage at rebel news and to independent citizen journalists in canada we picked up the story and
00:17:00.080 we have quite a significant number of canadian staff actually at breitbart so our own robert kraychik
00:17:06.240 went down to the protest site in ottawa and interviewed many of the participants and those videos did very
00:17:13.280 well on our website we got a lot of traffic from those interviews so conservative media started picking
00:17:19.360 up the story from us and by the early part of this week fox news was talking about the canadian truckers
00:17:26.480 you had panel discussions about the canadian truckers debates about the canadian truckers
00:17:31.200 so the story was suddenly live and fox has a very very loud megaphone and once fox news is reaching
00:17:39.840 half the country with a leading story about canadian truckers in ottawa and justin trudeau running away
00:17:47.600 and blockades at the border suddenly americans were paying attention and what was very interesting to
00:17:53.600 me was in the following day's press coverage or press conference excuse me at the white house on tuesday
00:18:00.160 press secretary jen pisaki led the briefing with a statement about how much joe biden had done for
00:18:05.920 truckers and i don't think it was a coincidence she had some other groups of people in there like
00:18:10.400 veterans and so forth but i think the biden administration is deeply deeply worried not just
00:18:17.040 about cross-border trade as you mentioned but also about further disruptions to the supply chain
00:18:23.120 in the united states one of the reasons that we have so many supply chain problems is that there are
00:18:28.800 not enough truckers there weren't enough truckers before the pandemic truckers started getting six
00:18:33.520 figure salaries big signing bonuses the trucking companies were desperate to hire people because
00:18:38.160 there was a labor shortage the pandemic made everything worse because truckers were in higher demand
00:18:42.880 but laborers workers were in short supply so there is a lingering labor shortage in the trucking industry
00:18:49.760 and that has slowed down the traffic at our ports that has slowed down the delivery of goods to market
00:18:55.840 it's responsible for empty shelves it's responsible for higher prices and the truckers who've been a
00:19:01.040 lifeline throughout the pandemic are doing their very best but now that there's some hint that truckers might
00:19:05.920 organize as we've seen in canada the biden administration does not want to go there they do not want
00:19:11.680 any trucking convoys snarling traffic blocking trade stopping supply routes they are terrified
00:19:19.520 of more supply chain disruptions they're very worried about prices continuing to go higher the consumer
00:19:25.680 price index data is very poor right now and it's weighing heavily on the opinion polls of the biden
00:19:31.520 administration so they defended the truckers freedom of speech in canada and they have avoided saying
00:19:37.280 anything more definitive about it they have not backed up justin trudeau in his claims that they
00:19:41.920 are racists and xenophobes and islamophobes and waving swastikas and you know i saw a complaint in one
00:19:49.520 of the canadian news sources that there are inuit students in ottawa who are afraid to walk down the street
00:19:55.360 because of the truckers i guess the truckers from saskatchewan are now inuit phobes or indigifobes or whatever
00:20:02.880 you whatever you call it but you know whatever phobia you want to make up they're not going there
00:20:07.440 in the biden administration unusually so because they are very quick to impute racism and racial
00:20:12.480 motives to their own opponents so they're actually defending the truckers although they're trying to
00:20:16.800 say it's not really about vaccine mandates and so forth but i don't think it's a coincidence that
00:20:21.200 many blue states just this week many democratic run states in this country dropped their mask mandates
00:20:27.760 like california new york illinois and many other democrats have suddenly done a complete 180 degree
00:20:34.560 in about face turn on questions like natural immunity and so forth so we are seeing i think
00:20:41.760 a profound effect in the united states of the canadian truckers and what they've done to shift the debate
00:20:48.400 and really to demonstrate in a very visual way the strength of public opposition to these mandates
00:20:54.240 well i think the visuals are part of it i mean we're all used to seeing sort of the greta tunberg
00:20:59.520 obvious you know child actors types professional protesters block a road for a bit and people just
00:21:05.520 sort of irritated by it because they're so used to it and it's so obviously confected but aesthetically
00:21:12.000 demographically psychologically you have these big beautiful trucks everyone sort of likes to look at
00:21:17.360 big trucks and and there's a sort of a respect for people who drive them and and we all think that's
00:21:22.720 it's like there's sort of an endemic respect for farmers that's a good man that's an honest living
00:21:28.320 you know so i think people are predisposed and they don't think of them as whiners they don't think
00:21:32.880 of them as spoiled brats which is what you might think of a greta tunberg or a greenpeace nick so you
00:21:38.320 have these people who maybe never in history have protest they protest in france but never in north
00:21:43.280 america they have these gorgeous vehicles that are huge and maybe it doesn't even take that many of
00:21:48.560 them to look like a huge group and they're independent and i don't know it's just so
00:21:54.560 different it feels so real and so it's a very powerful thing but you're so right trudeau took
00:22:01.360 it personally because all those things i just said you know middle-aged guys hard-working blue collar
00:22:07.040 burning fossil fuels that's not trudeau's people so he responded personally thin skin name calling
00:22:13.760 so now he's painting himself in the corner because this is personal for him joe biden if you think
00:22:18.640 about it he sort of pretends to be a macho blue collar guy he likes cars he's got his own mustang
00:22:24.960 like he's sort of it i think it's just a shtick but he pretends to be a a working collar guy a blue
00:22:30.720 collar guy so i think the fact that he didn't go for the personal insult he can i think he can save face
00:22:37.440 and achieve something good for america by dropping the vaccine mandate trudeau would immediately have
00:22:43.360 to do the same thing because it doesn't make sense to have truckers to be able to go one way but not
00:22:47.760 the other joe biden can save america and canada and it's all because these truckers joel
00:22:54.640 you're right that joe biden's working class persona is an act he once actually claimed to have been a
00:23:00.080 trucker he claimed that he drove an 18 wheeler and it was one of the more outrageous things he has claimed
00:23:05.520 about his past but i think it's more than that i really think that the biden administration knows
00:23:11.440 that the root of opposition to their economic policy and skepticism about biden's leadership
00:23:17.200 is inflation and biden has exacerbated that problem by pushing for these massive spending bills
00:23:23.360 americans are seeing gas prices go up at the pump they're seeing prices for basic commodities go up
00:23:29.280 everything costs more people have suffered a decline in real wages even though nominal wages have been
00:23:34.960 been going up so people are very distressed about this and they know that biden has just been
00:23:40.000 pressing congress to spend more and more money the white house put itself in a bind by backing all these
00:23:45.600 spending programs the last thing they want is more inflationary pressure and so they're trying
00:23:50.960 everything they can pulling every other lever other than the obvious which is to reopen the keystone
00:23:56.080 pipeline for example which is an ideological commitment they made to the environmentalists
00:24:00.800 or to drop the spending proposals so they're trying to do everything else they can to keep the prices
00:24:06.240 down and to keep the supply chain going pete buttigieg our secretary of transportation is nowhere to be
00:24:11.840 found on this by the way he is absent he is mr silent when it comes to any kind of problem whether it's the
00:24:17.440 cargo crisis at the ports whether it's people stealing boxes of goods from freight trains in los angeles we've
00:24:25.040 seen massive looting here in la whether it's this crisis at the border he is a wall which is
00:24:30.640 interesting he wants to be president one day it's very clear he intends to try to succeed joe biden or
00:24:36.080 to run again at some point in the future he is completely missing in action but i think the biden
00:24:41.920 administration is just worried about the backlash and you're right truckers are compelling because they
00:24:46.480 work hard but also in this country i'm sure in canada as well trucking is an entry-level occupation they're
00:24:52.720 always looking for truckers you can get into the trucking profession as long as you complete your
00:24:56.960 commercial driver's license and it's a very very hard job you are away from home for long hours and
00:25:03.680 driving is very difficult the regulations are very difficult you may get yourself into some difficult
00:25:07.920 financial situations there are all kinds of debts and fees and all kinds of things like that that
00:25:12.000 truckers have to risk so it is a very tough way to make a living but it is an entry-level occupation
00:25:17.840 it's one that americans can do when they don't have other options and if they have good habits
00:25:23.200 and they are responsible people who show up to work on time so it rewards the basic values and virtues
00:25:28.400 of good old hard work and that's what makes truckers compelling also this is the working class
00:25:36.960 uniting across boundaries to oppose the socialist dictates and the socialists are rather shocked by the
00:25:43.600 fact that when workers of the world unite they unite against them but that's what's happened
00:25:47.280 yeah well i mean in canada we have explicitly socialist parties one of them is called the ndp just
00:25:52.720 denouncing these just i've never seen such rage the rate and and the the leader of canada's socialist
00:25:59.680 party he happens to be a sikh man who wears a turban well it just so happens that an enormous
00:26:04.240 proportion of truckers in canada are sikh indo-canadians and so it's so bizarre to see a sikh
00:26:11.280 socialist denouncing blue-collar sikh men who are truck drivers and obviously they're not going
00:26:17.760 to take it to heart that they're racist they're sikhs they have the turbans and glorious beards
00:26:21.840 yeah it's just been it's it's and that's enough you know socialism go ahead socialism is great until
00:26:27.280 you can't get the california tomatoes anymore in an ottawa organic food market you know that's when
00:26:34.240 justin trudeau is really going to be upset socialism is basically a luxury good you have to be rich enough to
00:26:39.280 be a socialist well i mean our friend sheila gun reed who's a farmer uh part-time farmer uh you
00:26:45.360 know she's got a little bit country a little bit rock and roll like to say about sheila um she says
00:26:50.640 once the avocados are shut off so there's no more avocado toast in ottawa that will bring the
00:26:57.920 government to its knees and she's only half joking well joe very interesting and it's not often that
00:27:03.520 canada is talked about in america and i and i think the canadians don't mind it that way it's been a
00:27:08.720 great source of pride for me that our little rebel army of reporters we were in nine different cities
00:27:14.400 uh last weekend covering the the convoys i i'm delighted that we're part of that media wave you
00:27:20.880 talk about i was on tucker we had a young guy on hannity i've done megan kelly's show twice like it's
00:27:27.120 just people are thirsty for the news and i think they're coming to rebel news not that many of them
00:27:33.120 even know us it's just that we're the only people actually showing the images we're not just sitting
00:27:38.080 in our offices punditing on it we're showing here's what we're seeing with our cameras you can't really
00:27:43.360 lie about what we show it's been a very exciting moment for us and i i'm glad you told me how that
00:27:48.480 sort of worked i believe it breitbart.com the rest of the conservative movement fox megaphone and now
00:27:54.480 it's everywhere that's a very interesting history of how this thing went last word to you joel
00:27:58.880 well i would just say you're not just part of this media wave you really have led it
00:28:03.760 and i think your speech at the protest in ottawa is one you'll remember i think your kids your
00:28:10.200 grandkids will remember and they'll say grandpa was there look what he did because it really is a
00:28:16.020 very unique moment in canadian history as you mentioned on social media earlier this week it's
00:28:21.460 a rare moment when canadians are teaching americans how to be free so i think it's really a watershed
00:28:27.640 and to have been part of it to have covered it i think is really not just a valuable service to
00:28:33.480 the rest of us but it's to be part of an important moment in history well i feel that way too i mean
00:28:38.340 and thanks for having me on your uh serious exam show the other day i said i really think it's the
00:28:42.960 most dramatic and important most momentous political event in i was thinking about it and maybe since the
00:28:51.420 1995 quebec separation referendum that came within half a percent of voting to for quebec to leave
00:28:58.320 that perhaps that was a greater crisis but but certainly since then this is the biggest thing
00:29:04.360 and it's certainly realigning the country and i'm i really think that rebel news was built for this
00:29:10.120 moment and thanks to you for you i know you've reported on our work including my speech there that
00:29:16.700 was nice of you and some of our other stuff so thanks for for giving us some support and and isn't
00:29:21.260 it funny that canada is helping to make america more free i never would have thought that would
00:29:25.140 happen in my whole life i gotta tell you well joe great to see you thanks for all your time and
00:29:30.120 we'll look forward to talking again thank you and keep it up right on we'll do well there you have
00:29:34.940 joe pollack senior editor at large at breitbart.com stay with us more ahead
00:29:38.640 hey welcome back your feedback someone with the nickname cypress loser
00:29:50.640 says kenny is keeping the qr code so he can reactivate it after things have calmed down
00:29:55.620 don't fall for his lies oh you're exactly right i mean it's it's the database it's the surveillance
00:30:00.420 system it's the infrastructure for the biomedical security state i wonder how many people he
00:30:06.600 convinced i think i can't believe that he was once considered a leading force for freedom in canada
00:30:12.520 here's one from someone named 1984 today referring to christine uh the member of the european parliament
00:30:19.680 who talked to us from brussels she said she's trying to talk to the convoy from across the ocean but
00:30:25.840 canadian politicians can't talk to the truckers from across the street what a shame yeah isn't
00:30:30.400 that true i gotta tell you even in the last few hours i've seen movement jab meet singh who was
00:30:36.140 just brutal and vicious and smearing of the convoys now saying we need an exit plan we need to
00:30:41.920 these truckers are moving mountains someone with a nickname twin monk says nope qr is the linchpin qr
00:30:52.280 codes have to go that's the path of slavery the social credit score like communist china
00:30:56.260 oh exactly right it's and and to for kenny to so happily say yes i will furnish that data that
00:31:03.940 surveillance system to any private business it's up to them it's a private business really so it's okay
00:31:09.500 if a private business says no blacks allowed no no gays allowed is that is that okay by jason kenny
00:31:15.560 that's not what the law says and it's not what jason kenny believed two years ago uh let me leave you
00:31:21.200 with our video of the day as we like to do these days our friend sheila gun reid interviewed a cop
00:31:26.300 who just couldn't couldn't abide it anymore i'll let you watch that but before i do i'll say goodbye
00:31:31.140 and on behalf of all of us here at rebel world headquarters to you at home good night and keep
00:31:35.900 fighting for freedom are you going to be in trouble for this
00:31:38.980 i i believe i will be for sure um and so just for some context i the reason why i even made that
00:31:52.240 video last night was to to that message was directed to other police officers who um feel the same way
00:32:00.100 that i do or questioning what's going on and so i posted it in a in in a chat um and it got shared
00:32:08.700 outside of that so i um i don't know what the repercussions are going to be or what my future
00:32:15.700 looks like but honestly this there's no other issue that's as important as this
00:32:22.520 over the past two years of the pandemic we've seen some really horrible examples
00:32:29.700 of policing arrests of peaceful protesters police breaking up outdoor birthday parties
00:32:35.040 parents arrested in front of their children for the crime of being in the public park
00:32:38.980 but in amongst the stories of all the atrocious examples of bad policing there are some really
00:32:44.500 good police officers making strong moral stands standing up for their own profession but in those
00:32:51.160 acts of integrity those are often the things that might ultimately end a good cop's career either
00:32:57.880 through disciplinary action or just plain old demoralization so joining me right now is the
00:33:04.560 calgary police officer who made that video nick matichka nick first i want to thank you for being
00:33:10.740 one of those cops who got into policing for exactly the right reason and for being guided by your moral
00:33:16.140 compass and i can tell that you are not a very public person you can see it in your demeanor in your
00:33:21.440 video so i want to ask you why was this so important to you what you saw happening in ottawa that you just
00:33:29.740 had to go public yeah so i mean like everyone else i've i've been watching what's been happening over
00:33:38.680 over the entire basically the last two years and for me yesterday was a was the straw that broke the
00:33:47.820 camel's back um i just i saw um the ottawa police service members and i'm sure other members of
00:33:55.200 the rcmp and other police services out there um going out and exerting what is a hundred percent
00:34:05.600 political politically influenced they are going out and exerting that that political will on
00:34:13.420 peaceful protesters um that are doing what we're allowed to do under the charter uh that is guaranteed
00:34:21.720 to every citizen in this country um in our in the canadian charter of rights and freedoms and for me
00:34:28.280 that that scene yesterday it it was like i said it was just the the straw that broke the camel's back
00:34:36.280 for me and i just i've been following along and watching um various um news feeds um you guys mostly
00:34:46.520 um and it just i couldn't stay on the sidelines any longer um and honestly it took me i don't know i
00:34:56.860 probably wrote that in about 15 minutes last night after my kids went to bed um and then i just had this
00:35:02.380 calling just to put it on video and then i posted it in um a private uh police member group um that uh
00:35:13.900 basically then it got shared from there and it became what it is and i'm i knew when i made it that
00:35:22.020 it was not going to stay within that group and and i've come to basically accept that um because i feel
00:35:31.040 like this message is so important to get out there to not only other police officers but to members of
00:35:37.340 the public just so they know that there are there are guys and girls like myself who are um are appalled
00:35:45.240 by what we're seeing from our governments and are just just not not going to sit on the sidelines any
00:35:53.580 longer um and and we're going to speak up and we're going to do what we need to do to to get that
00:36:00.180 message out now uh without you know i don't need names or anything but what are you hearing from
00:36:06.400 your i guess colleagues in policing are they supportive of the stand that you're taking
00:36:12.620 um and so sheila just to i guess put it all in context so i i am a member of the calgary police
00:36:21.700 service um i am on leave right now um i have been diagnosed with ptsd um so i'm currently off work
00:36:31.620 um but am still i guess employed by the calgary police service so i in no way speak for the calgary
00:36:38.620 police service or on behalf of the calgary police service this is my own personal how i feel about
00:36:46.080 what's going on in the world and has nothing to do with with the police service um from and so i
00:36:53.500 being that i'm off work i'm pretty disconnected from my fellow police officers in calgary um but
00:36:59.820 this morning it's been pretty overwhelming uh the number of messages of support that i've received from
00:37:08.140 um from people all over the world it feels like now oh i want to ask you what do you think the
00:37:17.280 pandemic has done to the community's relationship with police i feel like for me that's one of the
00:37:25.340 things that will be the hardest to repair we used to trust our police officers to defend our rights
00:37:32.460 and we're not seeing that we're seeing police officers violate the rights of citizens when
00:37:37.820 citizens are peacefully resisting their own government so i guess what's the state of that
00:37:43.540 relationship and is there any way that we can repair it yeah that's that's a great question um there's
00:37:53.360 there's no doubt in my mind that the the vast majority of police officers out there are
00:37:58.440 so they signed up to do this job for the right reasons um and for for myself personally it was
00:38:09.000 it was a struggle to try and to try and remember that those good intentions because you do you get
00:38:15.780 jaded over the years um and for me in my own journey uh when when george floyd was murdered last year
00:38:25.660 um that was a real turning point for me where the public did really turn on my profession um through
00:38:36.440 something that happened a country away and it was don't get me wrong i'm i'm it was a terrible
00:38:43.040 terrible thing and um i 100 agree with everything that's happened in court since then to to convict
00:38:51.660 that police officer um but what i saw was the the public was so quick to turn on policing in general
00:38:59.460 um after that and that was it was really disheartening for for me personally because i i mean i signed up
00:39:08.220 to do this job to to help people and that just seemed to really get get lost in that um and then
00:39:16.400 just the the darkness of how people treated police members after that incident and then through the
00:39:24.560 whole defund the police movement and and all of that it was it was really difficult um and so but i
00:39:31.580 understand where the public is coming from and with some of their views here um and specifically against
00:39:38.520 what the police have been involved in with enforcing these mandates i i do believe that the majority of
00:39:45.820 police officers are doing it doing the job for the right reasons um but that can be taken too far
00:39:54.220 um in terms of just following orders and that's that's kind of where i see where things are at right now
00:40:00.740 is up until now i can see how you would just move through certain things you're being asked to do
00:40:08.620 things and you can you can kind of you can justify it uh but now with all of the information coming out
00:40:16.280 about the the science of um what's happening with with the virus it's it's at a point for me where i
00:40:24.460 just i can't i just can't see how you can justify what the enforcement measures that are being taking
00:40:31.080 taken sorry and now taking that those enforcement measures against peaceful protesters who are
00:40:37.440 in our nation's capital doing nothing more than making their voices heard and they're just being
00:40:44.060 ignored by the federal government um so sorry to answer your question i i don't know i don't know how
00:40:53.220 that relationship can be repaired other than just the guys and girls that are doing the job for the
00:41:00.380 right reasons just to to stand up and um and just move forward and and hope that the the public
00:41:08.340 will see that and understand and um just move forward now i guess that's your message for police
00:41:19.320 officers still in uniform um do you have like a further message for them what if there are police
00:41:28.060 officers out there who are feeling the same way that you do what's your message for them
00:41:33.560 i mean i'm not going to encourage anyone to um do anything that's against uh what they feel in
00:41:42.980 their heart i just i feel like if if you're questioning the order that that you're being given
00:41:50.520 and it doesn't it doesn't resonate with you and your own morals and your own integrity then you need
00:41:58.660 to question that and you need to take action to not be part of that um and i just i think the excuse
00:42:08.460 that i was just following orders at this point is just it's not good enough now nick what's next for
00:42:16.600 you are you going to be in trouble for this i i believe i will be for sure um and so just for some
00:42:27.940 context i the reason why i even made that video last night was to to that message was directed to other
00:42:35.740 police officers who um feel the same way that i do or questioning uh what's going on and so i posted
00:42:44.420 it in a in in a chat um and it got shared outside of that so i um i don't know what the repercussions
00:42:52.460 are going to be or what my future looks like but honestly this there's no other issue that's as
00:43:00.700 important as this um this is it so whatever happens to me because of this i'm completely at peace
00:43:08.920 with um and i i just want to to be a voice that stood up and said enough is enough and whatever
00:43:18.580 happens to me is is kind of inconsequential at this point uh this is way more important than
00:43:25.120 than the kind of trivial things that may or may not happen to me because of it and um and at the end
00:43:33.280 of the day all i'm doing is just speaking my truth my my own personal views on this situation
00:43:40.460 and whatever happens to me is what happens to me well nick i want to thank you for taking that stand
00:43:48.400 um and reminding those officers that are still in uniform that they aren't alone if they feel as
00:43:55.100 though they are doing the wrong thing by enforcing some of these more draconian and political measures
00:44:00.440 um nick can you let us know um if you need some help because we'd love to help a good cop
00:44:08.100 um who stood up and did the right thing thank you
