tonight is a form of apartheid making a comeback no not in south africa but right here in canada
00:00:22.380
it's friday august 19th 2022 i'm david menzies and this is the ezreal event show
00:00:36.420
i experienced a life-changing event on february the 13th 1988 even though i didn't even realize it
00:00:52.540
at the time the venue was the now defunct ballymatrix gym in north toronto after a brutal
00:00:59.340
workout i went downstairs to relax in the gym's hot tub well let me tell you folks more than the
00:01:06.000
water was hot in the tub that day directly across from me and just a mere 24 hours before saint
00:01:12.600
valentine's day no less was the bikini clad woman who would go on to become the future lady menzoid
00:01:19.500
of course me being an unobservant doofus i was completely oblivious to any kind of love connection
00:01:27.340
occurring as for lauren well after that brief encounter lasting all of 15 minutes punctuated
00:01:34.680
with banal small talk she returned back home to inform her mother that she had just met the man
00:01:41.660
she was going to marry and talk about woman's intuition some 34 years later we're still together
00:01:47.940
but here's the thing at the end of the day this meeting would never have occurred if it were not
00:01:55.400
for an odious political system that was in place some half a world away you see lady menzoid originally
00:02:04.300
hails from south africa back in the dark old days when this nation was governed by the appallingly
00:02:10.660
racist system known as apartheid under apartheid rights of citizens were based on skin color
00:02:18.540
caucasians who made up the country's smallest minority well they were at the top of the totem pole
00:02:25.060
and enjoyed all rights and privileges then there were the so-called colored people whose rights were
00:02:31.200
somewhat abridged the most disenfranchised of course were black people who also happened to
00:02:37.740
make up the vast majority of the population and resided in this country long before any white man
00:02:44.080
had set foot upon south africa you know when you look back at apartheid the system is so absurd so
00:02:53.620
preposterous that it's almost hard to believe that it ever actually existed in the first place
00:03:00.200
it's akin to jerry seinfeld's brilliant take on professional wrestling who thought up professional
00:03:06.700
wrestling i mean if there was no professional wrestling do you think you could come up with
00:03:10.440
this idea i go wait i have a tremendous idea why don't we have huge guys in bathing suits pretend to
00:03:15.340
fight in any event lauren's family was extremely well off living in johannesburg they lived in a well
00:03:21.620
appointed home complete with both pool and maid her father operated a highly successful business
00:03:28.060
and south africa itself it's a beautiful country and yet for those with a conscience it was becoming
00:03:36.240
increasingly difficult to live in the south africa of yester decade it was becoming impossible to ignore
00:03:44.200
the apartheid elephant in the room indeed globally south africa was deemed to be a pariah thanks to its
00:03:51.920
racist and unjust political system beginning in the 1960s the nation was rightfully banned
00:03:58.240
from competing and international sporting events ranging from the world cup of soccer
00:04:03.180
to the olympic games south africa was also the original target of the boycott divest and sanction movement
00:04:10.760
which certainly caused the nation enormous economic harm and definitely accelerated the movement for
00:04:19.200
political reform as a side note how perverse is it that when one now speaks of the boycott divest and
00:04:27.800
sanction movement of today the bds adherents target israel you know the most vibrant democracy in the entire
00:04:36.940
middle east welcome to bizarro world folks yet south africa was truly a deserving target of bds and sporting
00:04:45.020
bans and demonstrations the world over and by 1977 my future wife's family had had enough they gave up their
00:04:53.100
comfortable lifestyle and moved to north america to start all over again from scratch incidentally the choice
00:05:00.460
for a future home was narrowed down to either toronto or los angeles they visited toronto first in the month of
00:05:08.300
july and discovered to their shock that hey the weather in hogtown was hotter and more humid than the
00:05:15.260
weather back in joeberg so they dropped anchor without ever bothering to check out la and needless
00:05:22.220
to say my wife's family endured a climatic shock to the system once the gales of november came early
00:05:28.620
so why am i telling you all this background stuff well it's because my spouse said something the other
00:05:36.140
day that really stuck with me she said that it seems that in our not so wondrous woke world of 2022
00:05:45.420
apartheid is making a comeback no not in south africa mind you where it was eradicated in the early 90s
00:05:53.100
no a form of apartheid light if you will is being embraced in so many western democracies
00:06:01.260
due to political correctness and wokeism and yes marxism and the target of this new apartheid
00:06:10.060
is not people of color but rather white people indeed it has become increasingly trendy in some circles
00:06:18.620
to demonize and vilify white folk the due rigueur buzzwords range from white privilege to white
00:06:25.500
supremacy and hardly a day goes by when there isn't some story in the popular press disparaging caucasians
00:06:34.460
why just the other day i came across a fascinating story in post media headlined quote university
00:06:41.100
offering course called angry white male studies end quote the story begins quote the university
00:06:48.460
of kansas wants to look into the rise of the angry white male in the united states and the united
00:06:55.340
kingdom according to reports this course charts the rise of the angry white male in america and britain
00:07:02.380
since the 1950s exploring the deeper sources of this emotional state while evaluate evaluating recent
00:07:11.740
manifestations of male anger the course will be taught by christopher forth who is a professor of
00:07:18.700
history serving in the departments of women gender and sexuality studies and american studies
00:07:26.140
forth will seek to teach where does the angry white male come from what's he angry about is his anger
00:07:33.900
misplaced is he blaming the right people how long has this been going on
00:07:40.220
is he a global phenomenon and how do we move forward end quote oh thank god a gender studies guru has found
00:07:49.740
some new propaganda to peddle but seriously do white males have a monopoly on anger even if one is a
00:07:58.460
hardcore leftist does anyone really believe there are any valid statistics behind the premise
00:08:06.780
that since the 1950s white males are becoming increasingly upset i mean how would you even scientifically
00:08:15.020
track such a phenomenon in the first place or maybe this nutty professor at the u of k is basing his perverse
00:08:24.700
premise on pop culture after all the course description features a photo of brad pitt from fight club
00:08:33.820
maybe professor for source material is oh i don't know the internet movie database if that's the case well
00:08:41.500
yeah i have to admit there is indeed plenty of fodder when it comes to angry white males for starters take it
00:09:25.900
um judges can we have a ruling here namely folks if a white man turns into a green man
00:09:40.380
due to his anger issues is he truly 100 caucasian next up how about that grumpy white music teacher who
00:09:48.780
completely lost it with jerry lewis in the patsy diaphragmatic breathing with greater volume from the
00:10:05.500
yeah folks that's me at the local coffee shop whenever they screw up my order
00:10:15.420
and lest we forget the michael douglas rant in falling down after he deemed he was being ripped
00:10:22.460
off at a convenience store package of six how much dollar 12. oh too much
00:10:47.340
in which angry white maleness is actually monetized here check out rent a retort at rent a retort we
00:10:55.660
provide you with professionals who win your next argument with the speed and control of a highly
00:11:00.380
trained specialist what are you doing in my living room you ugly stab how dare you come down on this
00:11:06.140
man this saint this man who happens to be good with figures but a man who has provided for you and
00:11:10.780
given you life and you just sit around the house you fat ugly cow now call me a racist if you must but
00:11:18.220
i could use a guy like that sometimes especially when covering leftist protests but undeniably
00:11:26.300
there's a growing acceptance that being anti-white is good not bad do you recall our interview last
00:11:33.340
month with mcmaster university student tyler henderson check this out so tell me tyler your professor
00:11:41.100
had an issue with you because you are a white male why would that be
00:11:48.940
so uh at the start of the semester they they did the uh uh preamble regarding safe space
00:11:57.020
and after the class i i stayed back behind uh to talk to the professor about it and that's when she said
00:12:03.580
that um she was she didn't want white men to participate in her class um she went on to
00:12:11.820
describe to me as to why it was because of it being a safe space for other people and um how
00:12:19.260
if someone like me shares that it would no longer be a safe space fascinating so a white male student
00:12:26.380
speaking in a classroom turns the classroom into an unsafe space as if the classroom is now
00:12:34.140
afflicted by a downed electrical wire or the presence of a rabid pitbull really it's incredible
00:12:42.860
how an institution such as mcmaster university states that it is committed to promoting diversity
00:12:49.420
on one hand while on the other hand allows a professor to embrace selective racism and sexism
00:12:58.380
but then again today's woke folk have actually changed the definition of racism which is to say folks
00:13:05.100
did you know that according to the progressive left white people cannot be victims of racism i kid
00:13:15.180
you not check out this delightful demonstrator and what she had to say when we covered the dufferin
00:13:21.660
grove park occupation back in the summer of 2020 and i'm extremely angry at the people who show up like
00:13:29.260
you who like to instigate people and make people literally relive their traumas by asking
00:13:34.860
them hateful questions what trauma are these people reliving intergenerational trauma from white
00:13:40.860
folk like you who walk around that sounds racist really it's not racist you can't be racist a white
00:13:47.820
person a white person cannot experience racism they can't people who can experience racism are those
00:13:54.940
affected by racism oh juliet juliet wherefore art thou but hey apartheid light is even being
00:14:04.540
embraced by the federal government these days check out this tweet from public safety minister marco
00:14:10.620
mendicino just a few days ago quote online hate and harassment particularly targeting female racialized
00:14:20.220
and indigenous journalists is blatantly unacceptable this alarming trend has intensified recently
00:14:29.660
and threatens both the safety of those involved and the overall role and independence of the media
00:14:36.460
end quote so what pinocchio with a portfolio is saying here is that virtual hate and harassment against
00:14:46.300
journalists is bad but it's really really especially bad when it happens to anyone who is not a white
00:14:54.220
male journalist really really marco why and where did this compulsive liar pluck his data from remember
00:15:03.900
this is the same minister who repeatedly said law enforcement asked the government to invoke the
00:15:10.220
emergencies act back in february which is a lie this is the same minister who said recent improvements to
00:15:17.980
the arrive can app has reduced wait times at montreal trudeau airport by as much as one third
00:15:25.180
which is a lie and another thing where was this lying liar when his blackface loving boss
00:15:33.740
sick the royal canadian mounted henchman on yours truly last december for what exactly oh yeah
00:15:42.140
practicing journalism on a public sidewalk hey this is assault i'm on a side what is this i'm on a sidewalk
00:15:56.460
what is this you cannot push me no question are you kidding are you kidding let's call me what is this
00:16:12.380
you can't am i under arrest am i under arrest am i under arrest am i under arrest because otherwise
00:16:19.500
you're no right oh well played mr trudeau i think fidel castro your dearly departed friend and perhaps
00:16:28.380
something more than a friend would have been proud of that banana republic shakedown in hogtown
00:16:35.660
but again where was the condemnation from mr mendicino for that old school physical beatdown
00:16:42.540
jimmy cricket why is pinocchio so silent all of a sudden was it due to my race or my sex or my ideology
00:16:52.700
or just maybe all of the above what an absolute disgrace this man is but i'll tell you who is
00:17:00.380
really rolling over in his grave right now regarding the perversity on display when it comes to so-called
00:17:07.580
acceptable racism and sexism and it's not some bitter old angry white man but rather
00:17:16.140
a brilliant black scholar i speak of martin luther king jr who almost 60 years ago
00:17:22.700
gave his most famous speech in washington dc i have a dream
00:17:31.740
my poor little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of
00:17:39.500
their skin but by the content of their character i have a dream yeah can you imagine that folks judging
00:17:46.780
people by the content of their character bottom line dr king had it right more than a half century ago
00:17:55.660
in dreaming of a colorblind society but today's so-called progressive leftists and marxists
00:18:03.900
well they subscribe to a different mantra that being two wrongs make a right these radicals
00:18:10.700
are playing a despicable and downright dangerous game when it comes to embracing acceptable forms
00:18:19.180
of racism and sexism and they are dividing society as they do so
00:18:29.660
well folks recently a canadian forces veteran was seeking treatment for a post-traumatic stress disorder
00:18:37.260
and a traumatic brain injury and what happened well shockingly an employee with veterans affairs canada
00:18:45.660
nonchalantly asked the veteran if he had considered committing suicide wow it makes you really wonder
00:18:53.660
what the biggest danger zone is for our brave soldiers these days is it some foreign battlefield or is it the
00:19:01.580
local veterans affairs canada office unbelievable and joining me now for more on this truly disturbing
00:19:10.860
story is mark meinke a veteran himself and the host of the podcast operation tango romeo which is also
00:19:19.980
known as the trauma recovery podcast hey there mark welcome to the ezreal event show thanks for having
00:19:27.740
me on today david it is a pleasure so mark this story sounds like a very bad joke albeit one without a punch
00:19:35.580
line a veteran seeks help for various trauma that he has endured and right away the veterans affairs rep
00:19:44.700
points to the nuclear option i.e suggesting that he consider assisted suicide what were your initial
00:19:52.620
thoughts when you heard about this story well the veteran community like all other communities have
00:19:58.700
diverse opinion but they're pretty united on this one shock and dismay although the responses that i
00:20:07.100
because i'm a central point in the veteran community so i i get all the the cross wins they come right here
00:20:14.140
and we have people that uh had trouble believing it at first from people that weren't shocked at all
00:20:20.940
because of their own personal experiences with veterans affairs and i and i have to say no david veterans
00:20:27.100
veterans affairs does help people uh they've helped me they've helped so many others but that doesn't
00:20:32.540
mean there's not uh big gaps and this is certainly to say the least a big gap no and suicide is a serious
00:20:41.020
thing i understand with veterans uh mark i mean uh i understand the figures 12 canadian forces members
00:20:47.580
died by suicide last year between 2015 and 2019 69 others died via suicide so this is you know not some
00:20:59.900
like bizarre anomaly members of the armed forces for whatever reason are taking their own lives why do you
00:21:07.180
think this veterans affairs canada representative suggested suicide to begin with well we got a couple of
00:21:15.580
different possibilities here right either this person was working as a one-off as a dr mangala and is
00:21:23.660
just absolutely out of their mind or this is somewhere part of the brief because march next year you you
00:21:31.980
feeling a little blue will kill you that's how it's going to be it's uh there's going to be very little
00:21:37.580
barrier to entry for the maid program uh right now mental health is not included with the maid program
00:21:43.740
but from what i'm getting from the insider information that i'm receiving especially since the story has
00:21:51.180
broke this does not appear to be an isolated incident veterans affairs canada right now is parading as if it
00:21:57.820
is an isolated incident which of course we all hope for we just hope this is uh some crazy person that
00:22:04.540
was having a strange day that offered this to this veteran but i don't know if that's the truth i i hope
00:22:10.700
it's the truth but i am getting more and more notes from people more direct messages and emails suggesting
00:22:19.020
that that is not the case including just um yesterday somebody came to me and they are the belief
00:22:25.740
that they are approved for the maid program because of mental health wow you know and mark this is indeed a
00:22:32.300
key question um was this veteran of veterans affairs canada representative was it a lone wolf if you will
00:22:39.660
somebody that went off the reservation and suggested uh this terrible option or is this somehow matter of
00:22:47.500
policy i i can tell you uh uh veterans affairs canada did um issue a statement about this and it reads
00:22:55.820
quote veterans affair canada uh deeply regrets what transpired end quote and also quote appropriate
00:23:03.900
administrative action will be taken end quote but they did not discuss the nitty-gritty of what that
00:23:10.700
means what do you think it means based on your previous dealings with veterans affairs canada
00:23:18.460
well there was some other wording there that wasn't included as well some questions that haven't
00:23:22.060
been answered they haven't answered has anybody else done this um what was the reason was this a staff
00:23:27.740
meeting gone wrong so we we don't know the scope of this yet and i'm again i'm hoping and praying that
00:23:34.940
this is a one-off and that veterans affairs would never promote this but what's shocking right now
00:23:41.820
david is that in the social media realm there are lots of people that are actually promoting this that
00:23:48.620
think it's actually a good idea to offer the maid program for people that don't have any other
00:23:54.460
options and one of the super sad things about this is that the current help that is offered by
00:24:01.660
the osi clinics osis and well not osis but the osi clinics and veterans affairs canada has an
00:24:09.580
efficacy rate that ranges between 12 and 16 percent so if you're outside that 12 to 16 percent and you
00:24:17.740
don't know about any other options that are out there it is understandable that somebody out of
00:24:23.100
desperation is going to consider suicide but there are other options out there the issue is barrier
00:24:30.220
to entry to access those options that are have a far higher efficacy rate of 12 to 16 percent i've seen
00:24:37.180
numerous modalities of healing that are past 80 percent but veterans affairs canada won't touch them
00:24:43.580
with a 10 foot pole and that is the problem wow that is fascinating you know mark it's almost i mean
00:24:49.260
i've mentioned this before that you know i look at the 1973 sci-fi film soylent green which is set
00:24:55.980
in 2022 and how eerily prescient it has been on so many points such as food replacement um right now you
00:25:06.380
have people with the world economic forum suggesting we bugs soylent green is the name of a food
00:25:12.220
replacement i won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie it makes bugs look like uh uh t-bone
00:25:17.900
steaks and also suicide is actively encouraged uh you're bribed with uh benefits for your family
00:25:25.740
members if you decide to opt out and uh i i just can't help but think um you know how bang on that
00:25:34.780
sci-fi uh film was for our horrible reality right now but then again when it comes to veterans affairs
00:25:41.420
mark i gotta ask you we've seen with this trudeau administration how they deal with veterans um
00:25:49.420
whereas they give omar qatar our homegrown al-qaeda terrorist and murderer a 10.5 million dollar
00:25:56.380
paycheck uh the following year they told a friend of yours at edmonton that uh military veterans serving
00:26:03.580
canada are asking for too much those were prime minister trudeau's words so i i i guess when i'm
00:26:12.380
connecting the dots here if our veterans are asking for too much well what better way than to you know
00:26:19.340
turn off the whining if you will than to advocate they take an exit i find this disturbing and egregious
00:26:27.340
and outrageous what are your thoughts my friend well david let's just hope that what is happening
00:26:35.420
here is ineptitude that's the best case scenario this is just they don't know what else to offer
00:26:42.220
so they're offering assisted suicide they don't know about all the therapies that i know about that
00:26:48.380
i highlight on my show on a weekly basis um they they just don't know they don't know about it or don't
00:26:54.300
have access to it or there's some other barrier let's hope it's just ineptitude however the general
00:27:01.740
what i'm gleaning from all the response in the veteran population is that we're a little bit more
00:27:08.140
cynical we do believe that it's a budgetary decision i had a little rant on facebook saying the same thing
00:27:14.780
um i never would have said that two or three years ago no chance i would have thought there's got
00:27:20.460
to be another explanation but it could be that cold david it could be that this is in fact a budgetary
00:27:26.940
decision wrapped up as compassion that is just so disturbing for me to hear mark because we are
00:27:34.780
talking literally about life and death to people who in many cases have put their lives on the line
00:27:43.660
defending canada going into foreign battlefields and uh once their usefulness uh is over as deemed by
00:27:53.260
the federal government it's time to suggest that they take the ultimate step in checking out i mean i
00:28:00.700
can't even believe we're talking about this uh mark the soldier um in question he has not been identified
00:28:08.060
there's been some mainstream media coverage of this um have do you think this individual uh will go
00:28:17.420
public uh with his plight so that we do indeed have a name and a face behind this story well i hope so i
00:28:26.140
think that in general the story has been believed by most people which is a good thing because it's true
00:28:33.100
um that i that much i can say i can't say more than that but i can't confirm that the story is
00:28:38.540
completely true um the sources that i have are the same sources that mercedes stevenson had for global
00:28:46.700
and those sources have confirmed through us that it is absolutely true other than that i can't say i'm
00:28:54.060
going to hope that this veteran steps forward but i completely and totally understand uh given our
00:29:00.300
government's reputation and track record of being vindictive and cruel uh i could understand why
00:29:08.620
somebody would not want to have their name put forward so if this person does not put their name
00:29:13.900
forward perfectly perfectly understandable and um but i don't think we need it i think through freedom of
00:29:21.900
information act through proper investigation we can get all the questions answered that we need
00:29:27.260
and i have a sneaking suspicion david that there's going to be more people stepping forward with
00:29:32.860
similar circumstances similar stories i don't think this is a one-off well we're certainly going to
00:29:39.340
continue to follow this uh story mark and you know you're right it is a true story for once i wish this
00:29:46.620
was fake news but it's not i guess my parting question to you mark given the horrible public relations
00:29:54.860
black eye veterans affairs canada has received over this do you think that might be a catalyst in other
00:30:01.660
words reaching out to their staff and saying you know if a veteran comes you know for a consultation
00:30:10.460
maybe you might not want to whip out the suicide option right off the bat even if we do have
00:30:17.260
budgetary issues with the canadian armed forces last word goes to you my friend thanks brother so the
00:30:24.060
problem with veterans affairs canada is that they are working in a trauma-rich environment without
00:30:28.300
the proper resiliency and critical incident training so they are dealing with people like myself when
00:30:36.780
they are at their most acute when they need it the most when they need the help the most and we're not a
00:30:41.580
lot of fun to deal with so if you do not understand our language if you don't understand trauma if you
00:30:47.900
don't understand trauma response and yet you're thrown to the wolves into this job you're going to burn out
00:30:53.900
you know almost all of us uh that have been in the system as i have been are going on three four
00:30:59.820
five different case magic managers in uh in two or three years so it's a high high burnout position
00:31:07.660
now when you have a high burnout position nobody has any experience of veterans affairs canada because
00:31:12.300
they don't last long enough to get the experience so this is a failure of leadership at vac
00:31:18.060
vac veterans affairs canada what needs to happen is proper training so that they can hang on to these
00:31:23.820
employees train them better so that their interactions with the veteran community are more
00:31:29.260
positive because this is although it is the most egregious example that i can think of of an
00:31:34.940
interaction with veterans affairs it is not the only foul one and not just at vac at the osi clinic
00:31:42.460
numerous places all that are good-hearted and want to do the right thing but they don't necessarily have
00:31:50.220
the tools to do the right thing and mark before i let you go can you tell our audience about your
00:31:57.500
podcast because i got to be honest if i knew a veteran that was suffering from any kind of trauma
00:32:03.020
i would point him in your direction before uh having him go to veterans affairs canada especially
00:32:09.020
with staffers like this one uh suggesting right off the hop uh the suicide option is the right one so
00:32:15.580
please what do you do with your podcast operation tango romeo is the trauma recovery podcast for
00:32:23.500
veterans first responders and their families we are an aggregate for healing modality so i go around the
00:32:31.420
world david and i find what works what doesn't and i get the facilitators the people with the lived
00:32:37.820
experience to come on the show and we talk about what works and we also have peer support type of
00:32:45.420
tools and i hate to call them tricks but tools for the toolbox that help people move forward with their
00:32:51.740
life uh episode number six so many ago i still get uh notes from people saying hey that episode on how
00:32:59.820
not to wreck wreck your camping trip has actually changed my life and it's changed my family's life thank you
00:33:04.860
very much and when you hear a voice that you recognize and somebody that you know is walk the
00:33:12.540
walk not some sterile clinician uh talking in uh in baby talk to you then you have a bit more confidence
00:33:20.540
that the information that you're being exposed to just might be helpful somebody that's actually
00:33:25.500
walked the walk themselves i was diagnosed with ptsd in 2017 i got into peer support groups which create
00:33:31.900
a sense of connection and awareness and from those peer support groups this podcast has grown evolved
00:33:39.900
and today we're in 68 different countries 200 and i don't even know 236 episodes i think and thousands
00:33:47.580
and thousands of veterans have messaged me saying thank you this helped well thank goodness for that
00:33:53.340
mark i know you do excellent work with your podcast and i wish the same could be said about how
00:34:00.540
veterans affairs canada operates so thank you again for your time and we'll keep an eye on this file too
00:34:07.660
mark and see if it warrants a follow-up in the days and weeks ahead thank you sir thank you david
00:34:21.740
well folks last night my colleague sheila gun reed was guest hosting for the ezreal event show and she
00:34:30.860
had a wonderful interview with our new york-based correspondent that would be jeremy lafredo who ventured
00:34:38.140
down to pennsylvania to speak to amish farmers who are being harassed by the government lots of response on that
00:34:48.300
keith 007 writes the average american is both over fed and malnourished and the government is attacking
00:34:57.020
the amish so amish steak and cheese that's the problem not taco bell doritos and big gulp slushies
00:35:06.060
insane well 007 don't give the government any ideas they've already talked about taxing and regulating
00:35:13.740
junk food but i get your point leave the amish alone they just want to live their lives they the
00:35:19.980
way they want to they're not harming anyone this is a so-called problem in need of repair when no problem
00:35:30.460
exists and no repair is warranted c130 avi8 trx writes sounds like in australia where they are trying
00:35:40.300
to make it illegal to share any meat you've hunted with even family or friends plus making it illegal
00:35:48.700
to grow your own veggies they really want us all to submit or dry well you know what my friend i didn't
00:35:55.180
know that was the situation us in australia that is outrageous they don't want you to share hunted um
00:36:03.340
meat they don't want you to grow your own vegetables and yet these are probably let me guess the
00:36:09.980
same people that want you to chow down on cricket sandwiches and mealworms no thanks well i can tell
00:36:18.380
you this what the government's going to find out in terms of bullying the amish is that when you mess
00:36:24.380
with the farming community that is a losing fight they are not going to come out of this as the winner you
00:36:31.260
mark my words folks well that wraps up the ezreal event show uh for this friday thank you so much for
00:36:37.740
tuning in i hope you all have a great weekend the big boss man he'll be back here on monday and in
00:36:44.780
the meantime as always stay sane have you many for rebel news at the shrine of remembrance here in melbourne
00:37:01.740
velderly vietnam veterans lined up in the hundreds ready to march at 11am sharp per the schedule but
00:37:09.260
as the air force band prepared to lead the australian heroes a regimental sergeant major approached the band
00:37:15.980
sergeant major ordering the band to stand down as daniel andrews hadn't arrived leaving hundreds of
00:37:22.860
veterans standing waiting in the cold because the premier his highness was running late about five
00:37:30.380
minutes later the sacred event finally kicked off following the grand entrance of victoria's arrogant
00:37:37.180
premier leaving some veterans dumped roughly a three-hour trip i left home about five this morning
00:37:49.180
so you made it on time i made it on time so where does daniel andrews come from five minutes down the
00:37:55.900
road yeah do you think that that's respectful to those who have come out here today oh probably not me
00:38:03.820
that's not good enough we've been here quite a lot earlier this morning to make sure that we were on
00:38:09.740
time okay he's got a job to do uh we've all got a job to do many australians would think would
00:38:15.580
victorians would agree you've sacrificed a lot more than daniel andrews and i would say it's fair to say
00:38:22.460
that a lot of us are still in that situation a lot of what happened a very long time ago stays with us
00:38:31.020
and it it will never go away i think we went there for the right cause for what we believe in and
00:38:36.860
help the young south vietnamese out which are really good people they are really good people
00:38:43.660
and today i saw the march was delayed about five minutes do you know what no daniel andrews was
00:38:50.940
running late how do you feel normal for those who don't know this is actually acknowledging
00:38:56.620
um six rars battle at the bottle of battle of long tan so we pay our respects to them i just remember
00:39:05.420
that there was 500 people killed on in a little battle um 50 years ago i suppose it was politically
00:39:14.300
big at the time but now it's just a bit of history i look upon this way i'm down here to be with my
00:39:21.020
friends guys that i serve with so out of my respect for them and the other guys that serve and the
00:39:27.020
people that turn to put this show on yeah you turn up on time it's never too late to learn a little bit
00:39:33.340
of respect for anybody not just us but for anybody there you go daniel andrews front and center
00:39:40.460
uh the memorial can continue difficult to talk about and uh i just want to get here remember
00:39:50.860
me mates who didn't come back and a few of them how you doing how you going you all right
00:39:57.980

00:40:12.620

00:40:40.860
a mate from 10 years ago no one likes me after i'm sure i'm sure somebody in the israeli army that
00:40:47.900
that has fond memories of my of my banter and i a friend of mine when he was very young his parents
00:40:57.340
sent him to israel on a kibbutz and his his mother actually i could say she was uh possessed the tattoo
00:41:07.340
on the wrist which we all know what that meant and but they were lovely people but they once again
00:41:13.980
having even though they he was born and brought up in australia they felt that it was important for
