Joe Biden is like a flashlight with a dying battery and a flashlight in the woods. He can't seem to remember what he's supposed to be saying, and then he can't remember what it is he's talking about. It's like he's lost his mind.
00:00:59.760Tonight, is Russia going to invade Ukraine again? Joe Biden seems to think so. He says
00:01:19.360he's actually fine with that. It's January 20th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:26.640Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:30.320There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:34.380The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my
00:01:39.000bloody right to do so. Yesterday, Joe Biden had an absolutely disastrous press conference.
00:01:48.880I just keep thinking of this comment by Joe Rogan.
00:01:52.460Biden, to me, is like having a flashlight with a dying battery and going for a long hike in the woods.
00:01:59.340It is not going to work out. It's not going to make it.
00:02:05.740That is such a great comparison. Here, watch just one of many clips I could show you from that last night alone.
00:02:13.060Well, that could school reopenings or closures become a potent midterm issue for Republicans to win back the suburbs?
00:02:22.100Oh, I think it could be, but I hope with God that they're, that, look, maybe I'm kidding myself, but as time goes on,
00:02:36.700the voter who is just trying to figure out, as I said, how to take care of their family, put three squares on the table,
00:02:46.680stay safe, be able to pay their mortgage or their rent, et cetera.
00:02:52.100It's becoming much more informed on the motives of some of the political players and some of the political parties.
00:03:16.540And I think that they are not going to be as susceptible to believing some of the outlandish things that have been said and continue to be said.
00:03:28.720You know, every, every president, not necessarily in the first 12 months, but every president, the first couple of years,
00:03:36.400most every president, excuse me, of the last presidents, at least four of them,
00:03:40.140have had polling numbers that are 44% favorable.
00:03:45.900So it's this idea that, but you all, not you all, but now it is, well, Biden's that one poll showed him at 33%.
00:05:30.260You know, Utah, you campaigned and you ran on a return to civility.
00:05:36.280And I know that you dispute the characterization that you called folks who would oppose those voting bills as being Bull Connor or George Wallace.
00:05:46.340But you said that they would be sort of in the same camp.
00:05:52.540Go back and read what I said and tell me if you think I called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by Bull Connor that they were Bull Connor.
00:06:06.060That is an interesting reading of English.
00:06:10.860I assume you got into journals because you like to write.
00:06:14.940So did you expect that that would work with Senators Manchin or Sinema?
00:17:17.100You know, Russian collusion, Russia gay, Trumping a Russian spy, all that hoax, that disinformation for years led by the media.
00:17:25.380Putin didn't dare make a move on Ukraine or anyone, really, with Trump in power.
00:17:30.160A year into Biden and a preemptive letter of surrender to Russia from the Democrats.
00:17:35.760Even the Democrat Party's propaganda machine in CNN couldn't believe it.
00:17:39.360Here's Jake Tapper, the biggest Democrat partisan around, who asked a CNN reporter on the ground in Ukraine what was going on.
00:17:46.860Here's one of the many things that President Biden had to say about Russia and the possibility of an invasion, another invasion of Ukraine.
00:17:55.600Russia will be held accountable if it invades.
00:18:19.540So, let us go now to Matthew Chance, who is in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, where I'm sure officials were watching with interest and maybe even chagrin.
00:18:31.880Matthew, was Biden's, were Biden's remarks interpreted there as a less than wholehearted warning to Putin to not invade?
00:18:46.260Well, I mean, that's, that's an understatement.
00:18:49.140I mean, they, they watch those remarks, I think, I think with horror.
00:18:52.560One Ukrainian official who I've been in close contact with while this marathon press conference is underway said that he was, you know, I'm quoting here,
00:19:01.880shocked that President Biden would give a green light to Vladimir Putin in this way.
00:19:07.700That the U.S. president would distinguish between an incursion and an invasion.
00:19:12.520And it suggests that a minor incursion would, would, would elicit, you know, a lesser response than a more, a more full invasion.
00:19:21.240The big concern, of course, which is what he was alluding to, is that it gives Putin, and this is another quote from me,
00:19:26.820it said it gives the green light to Putin to enter Ukraine at his pleasure.
00:19:31.400And that's not just one Ukrainian official.
00:19:34.260Other Ukrainian officials have responded in a similar way.
00:19:37.280Kiev, in the words of another, is stunned by what President Biden had to say.
00:23:40.520He was given an opportunity to clarify, and he clarified that's exactly what he meant.
00:23:45.400Now, the next day, Press Secretary Jen Psaki ran around the cable news channels and the White House briefing room saying that she believed, that the president believed the elections would be legitimate, even if his legislation did not get passed.
00:23:59.440But that created some consternation, especially because there's this idea that Democrats have put out there that merely questioning the sanctity of our elections, as they did in 2000, 2004, 2016, that amounts to a kind of treason, insurrection should result in you being banned from social media.
00:24:20.200So she had to do some cleaning up there.
00:24:50.200And this, after Democrats made such a huge deal out of Trump supposedly being too friendly to Russia, which was, of course, not the case, and after they claimed that Trump had endangered Ukraine when they went after him in the first impeachment trial, now Biden has essentially conceded the territorial integrity of a supposed American ally, and we're all supposed to look the other way.
00:25:12.840He did this as Secretary of State, Tony Blinken was in Kiev talking to Ukrainian leaders, and they were absolutely astounded.
00:25:22.620They said it was basically a complete surprise to them that it was deeply disappointing, and it was a green light for Putin to invade.
00:25:34.520So those were the two major developments.
00:25:37.440Psaki cleaned that one up, or tried to anyway, shortly after the press conference, but she was still splitting hairs.
00:25:44.160The White House is still trying to say that some kinds of incursions by the Russians wouldn't actually be invasions.
00:25:51.920And Biden, the day after the press conference, said, well, if there are assembled Russian military units, then they would consider that an invasion requiring a more serious response.
00:26:02.860Well, he was vice president when Russia invaded and occupied Crimea, and still does.
00:26:09.280And it's not as if they came across the border in tank battalions.
00:26:12.920They infiltrated quietly, one by one, with soldiers who were wearing unmarked uniforms.
00:26:19.420They did this quietly, secretly, although people could see it was happening.
00:26:24.300They weren't assembled military units.
00:26:26.100So all Biden is doing is promising the same sort of appeasement that saw Crimea carved away from Ukraine through military force when he was last in office.
00:26:35.400And the result of all of this is a complete shattering of any confidence that anyone around the world can have in this president.
00:26:43.420There's no reason to believe anything he says.
00:26:46.520He can't even get his own agenda passed.
00:26:48.880Hours after the press conference, Democrats failed to pass those voting bills in the Senate, and they failed to undo the filibuster rule, which requires a supermajority to close debate and move to a vote.
00:27:03.780He's just sort of in charge, and he might react to things as they happen.
00:27:08.080But there's nothing left for Joe Biden to do.
00:27:11.100And all he's doing right now is failing to do the things that his predecessor, his much maligned, dark, evil, terrible, insurrectionist predecessor, Donald Trump, left for Joe Biden, like a successful vaccination program, like an economic recovery, like strong relationships with our allies.
00:27:29.900Biden is undoing all of that, unraveling all of that.
00:27:32.300And Jen Psaki keeps saying, well, our allies are privately very happy that Biden is back, that democracy is back, and so forth.
00:27:41.020But you can see the reality when you look at what's happening in Ukraine.
00:27:49.820And all Biden can do is say to Russia, well, you know, invasions cost lives.
00:27:54.460You're going to pay a price, and here are some economic sanctions that you're not going to care about because you never care about economic sanctions.
00:27:59.880We might deny you access to the dollar in your banking institutions, not that they care.
00:28:05.040They have commodities, and they can exert leverage now on Europe because of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline that Biden allowed them to build and Trump did not.
00:28:12.580So Biden's presidency in policy terms is over.
00:28:18.860He could get some wins, perhaps, if the United States government responds to whatever's happening in the world in some kind of a competent way.
00:28:26.940But this presidency is now in a state of decline.
00:28:30.380It is in a state of decadence in terms of its ideology.
00:28:35.640Most of what the Democrats are pursuing is for their own ideological benefit, this idea of voting rights.
00:28:42.820No one's voting rights are threatened.
00:28:44.060Democrats have yet to produce a single person who wasn't able to vote.
00:28:47.440It's very easy to vote in this country.
00:28:48.760But they're going to talk to each other about how they're standing up for voting rights and equality and diversity and equity and all that stuff.
00:28:55.340Meanwhile, Biden's approval ratings will continue to plummet.
00:29:06.740And I think a few proof points are popping up.
00:29:09.500The statewide race in Virginia that went plus 10 for Biden a year ago, now a strong DeSantis-style Republican governor.
00:29:19.520I just can't stop thinking of that phrase that Joe Rogan used for Joe Biden, saying he was like a flashlight that the batteries were running out.
00:29:29.620And that's just exactly how it felt to me.
00:29:33.140Although he can't get things through the Congress, and he still has certain rules.
00:29:37.600I'm not going to call them ceremonial.
00:29:38.940But the president has still the power to make appointments, for example.
00:29:42.720Those can be fettered by the Senate, but when he speaks for America on foreign policy, when he sends troops here or there, that really is within the president's power.
00:29:55.140You correct me if I'm wrong constitutionally, but, I mean, no one else speaks on foreign matters in the same manner that a president does.
00:30:04.300And so even though I think he bungled it, you're right, his presidency is over in terms of a positive agenda he wants to do.
00:30:12.640But I think he can still do enormous damage with foolish statements.
00:30:20.360For example, when he said a minor incursion would be fine, he actually said, well, and we would be fighting amongst ourselves what we could or couldn't do.
00:30:30.520So he was sort of blabbing internal politics in public because his mind isn't sharp enough to say, oh, there's certain if we have a weakness internally, if we're divided internally, don't say that publicly, show strength publicly.
00:30:47.720So I think the fact that he still is, at least in name, the president, and at least on the org chart, the guy who gets to talk foreign policy, I think he could cause disasters around the world just because he's losing his wits.
00:31:05.680Well, that's true. He can certainly make more mistakes.
00:31:10.620And you point out the power of appointments.
00:31:13.680The issue of the Supreme Court could become something that unifies his party behind him once again.
00:31:19.580For example, if there's a vacancy and he has the power to appoint someone, all of that is true.
00:31:25.720But he has failed in the basic mission of his presidency.
00:31:28.920He was elected as the alternative to Trump, the one who would restore a sense of normalcy and calm to the country.
00:31:33.660He did that only by default because the Democrats called off the riots once Trump was no longer in office.
00:31:40.300Most of these Black Lives Matter Antifa groups respond in some way to the political prodding and the financing that comes from Democrat activists or Democrat-aligned donors.
00:31:51.120So they called off the shock troops, if you will, of the resistance.
00:31:54.540But Biden failed to unify the country, and he was trying to explain in his press conference that when he said Republicans were like Bull Connor, the legendary, infamous law enforcement official who sicked dogs on civil rights protesters in the South, when he was calling Republicans Bull Connor, he didn't literally mean they were actually Bull Connor.
00:32:16.360He just meant they were siding with Bull Connor.
00:32:19.040Now, there really is no difference, but he was trying to say there is one and that he ought not be held accountable for insulting Republicans, including people who have supported him in the past on issues like infrastructure.
00:33:05.420You know, when they asked Trump what his plans were, what he was going to do, Trump often gave an answer, which was, I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to do.
00:33:12.500I'm just going to do it when it comes to foreign policy and dealing with terrorists.
00:33:45.200So Biden is now trying to guess what Putin is doing with Trump or was the other way around.
00:33:48.540But I think there's a reason Biden is doing things this way.
00:33:52.540It's not just that he is losing mental capacity, although that may be true, but he is trying to find an excuse for inaction by telling the American people that his hands are tied when it comes to Ukraine.
00:34:04.520If other NATO members don't agree to what I want to do, he says, then I can't do it.
00:34:11.440So therefore, it's not my fault that Ukraine might be invaded tomorrow by Russia, because after all, I have to get NATO to agree with me if I want to do something.
00:34:19.340That's not traditionally the role of the United States within NATO, but it is a convenient excuse for a democratic administration that prefers, quote unquote, diplomacy, i.e. inaction, to any other course of action and is looking for excuses.
00:34:32.280So, again, the presidency has no forward momentum.
00:34:35.960He is essentially a caretaker president, and someone else is taking care of him.
00:34:40.200It's not clear he knows what's going on in his administration.
00:34:42.760This idea that the 2022 midterms would be illegitimate was refuted or tried to be refuted by Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who seems to have a lot more power than his typical press secretary.
00:34:53.840Biden's administration may be administered by other people.
00:34:57.020So we're just left adrift as a country, and people are deciding to take matters into their own hands.
00:35:03.040They're not listening to coronavirus restrictions anymore.
00:35:05.600They're not listening to health policy directives anymore.
00:35:08.900They don't trust the government anymore, and they certainly don't trust the media.
00:35:12.000People are basically moving ahead regardless.
00:36:56.120They involved Psaki and a variety of other people.
00:36:58.740I think Psaki was at the Brookings Institution, but they have they involved a small sort of cohort of Obama and Clinton alumni who believe that they represent the cutting edge of policy and so forth.
00:37:11.160During the first Trump impeachment, there was this phrase that appeared for the first time in the public consciousness interagency process.
00:37:18.960When Colonel Alexander Vindman, Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, came out and said that he opposed Trump's policy on Ukraine, his main bone of contention was that Trump ignored the interagency process, that Trump thought that just because the Constitution gave the president the power to conduct foreign policy doesn't mean the president actually should.
00:37:36.260No, the president has to delegate to these bureaucrats in the interagency process, which is sort of a way of saying there are different people who run different parts of the government and they're supposed to agree on everything.
00:37:47.700I think we are being governed by the interagency process and the interagency is dominated by these lifelong democratic establishment apparatchiks and they are engaged in a policy or process of negotiating with each other about what the government should do.
00:38:02.420Hence, the government can't figure out what to do at all.
00:38:05.420So you've got Susan Rice, who has no domestic policy experience, but is now running the Domestic Policy Council at the White House.
00:38:11.420You've got Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, who are Clinton alumni, supposedly running the foreign policy at the State Department.
00:38:19.240Then you've got Jen Psaki, who is a much more powerful press secretary, I think, than any of her predecessors.
00:38:24.200She's not just running communications.
00:38:25.620I think she is running policy to a great extent.
00:38:28.720And you've got various other people in these little positions and they're responding to donors on the outside, like the George Soros of the world and so forth.
00:38:35.120But they're basically conducting the government's affairs by committee.
00:38:39.740And, you know, if you try to do anything by committee, you might get some consensus finally after much deliberation.
00:38:45.800So there might theoretically be more unity going forward.
00:38:48.380But, as you know, almost nothing ever gets done by a committee.
00:38:51.720If you try to write an article, for example, or I was a speech writer, I used to hate when I had to write a speech by committee, when different politicians would have to weigh in on the draft because it would mean that whatever I wrote had to be done from scratch, redone.
00:39:06.440So, hence, the United States government is essentially paralyzed by this interagency, which was held up as the epitome of competence under the Trump administration and how dare Trump go around them.
00:39:16.180Well, it turns out the A-team, the best and the brightest, don't know what they're doing and can't organize, as the phrase goes, you know, a piss up in a beer hall.
00:40:21.220You mentioned Alex Vinderman and I had written him down on my notes here to ask you about him, because, you know, when Trump was president,
00:40:28.900you had all these deep state whistleblowers, defectors, you know, people who were just saying, I don't like what Trump is doing.
00:40:37.960I have no constitutional authority to usurp that of the president.
00:40:57.860Has Vinderman, who I think one time mused about becoming the defense minister of Ukraine, have those anti have the folks who whipped up the conspiracy theory that Donald Trump was a Russian agent,
00:41:11.880a Russian stooge, was subject to Russian blackmail, was soft on Russia, have any of these pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin conspiracy theorists had a word to say in the last 24 hours about Biden essentially?
00:41:42.960The one thing he did say on Twitter about Ukraine was he responded to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who was trying to project an attitude of confidence.
00:41:53.000And he was mocking Zelensky and said, you better, I'm paraphrasing here, but said, you better tell your countrymen to expect the worst rather than telling them anything that's going to give them false confidence.
00:42:04.080So it looks like Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vinderman has basically given up on Ukraine, just like Biden has given up on Ukraine.
00:42:10.220And the word came through today that members of Congress and various committees are being briefed by intelligence officials that they expect a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
00:42:19.360We are now playing on Vladimir Putin's Turk.
00:42:22.760We are now discussing the absurd question of how to limit the extent of his invasion rather than how to prevent an invasion and how to hold Russia in check.
00:42:35.800I don't think the United States needs to be the world's policeman.
00:42:38.300But we have NATO allies like Poland, for example, that fears Russian incursion as well.
00:42:45.560We have a variety of countries in Eastern Europe, whether they're part of NATO or not, who want to be closer to the West, who are telling us that Russian invasion is a constant worry for them.
00:42:54.120And somehow there's this idea that, like Czechoslovakia and the Sudetenland, that if we just allow a little incursion into Ukraine, it doesn't matter.
00:43:03.620The democratic establishment has learned nothing from 2014 and Crimea.
00:43:08.800They've learned nothing of the positive lessons of Donald Trump's presidency, of strong leadership, of being unpredictable on the world stage, of making sure that our military is a feared threat, calling terrorists terrorists, making sure people know there's going to be retaliation if they cross the line.
00:43:27.620And it's to their great disadvantage because they've achieved nothing in a year of foreign policy other than giving Iran time to accelerate its nuclear weapons program, giving the Houthis time to attack Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
00:43:53.280It's a crisis for the Democratic Party.
00:43:54.740And there's no sane human being who could watch that press conference yesterday and feel like we're being led by someone who knows what he wants to do and who's stable about it.
00:44:08.420But after the fall of the Soviet Union, when it sort of splintered into the former Soviet republics, Ukraine had a lot of nuclear warheads because they were stationed beyond just the Russian SSR.
00:44:20.400They were around the former Soviet Union.
00:44:22.500So in 1994, and you correct my history if I'm wrong here, Bill Clinton, along with other leaders, negotiated for Ukraine to give up its nukes, which maybe was the right idea for the world.
00:44:54.800There's no permanent friends or enemies.
00:44:56.520There's only permanent interests in foreign affairs.
00:44:59.940And well, that's especially true with Russia.
00:45:01.780You know, we don't have a reason to be enemies with Russia.
00:45:05.820We don't have a reason to be friends with Russia.
00:45:07.440We have a lot of interests that coincide with Russia, and we have a lot of interests that diverge.
00:45:12.760So the relationship is always going to be complicated.
00:45:16.080But the idea that we would simply roll over and allow Russia to take advantage of Ukraine after giving it security guarantees, as you point out, in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons, is so corrosive to American security generally, because it means there's no advantage for countries in being aligned to us, at least while a Democrat is in the White House.
00:45:35.420So you've got Saudi Arabia being punished by this administration for having worked with Israel and tried to counter Iran.
00:45:43.540You've got the United Arab Emirates being punished.
00:45:45.260They had an arms deal canceled or suspended by the Biden administration.
00:45:49.680And now you've got Ukraine, which is being punished for hoping that the West might come to its aid.
00:45:56.780And Biden is just debating what the definition of an incursion might be.
00:46:02.500You know, when you go to Las Vegas, you always want to play with the House's money.
00:46:06.540You know, you win a few chips and then you can bet with those so that if you lose, you're not losing anything that you brought with you to Las Vegas.
00:46:15.840He's basically decided that he's going to extract concessions from the West by marching all these troops and all of these weapons to the border with Ukraine.
00:46:24.220It looks like he's winning because Biden is already negotiating in public about whether we would station strategic arms in Ukraine and so on and so forth, whether we would allow Ukraine to become a member of NATO.
00:46:35.600Those are all concessions to Putin that Putin has already achieved just by moving troops around within his own country.
00:46:41.140And now we're having a debate about what a Russian military incursion might be that would require us to respond instead of what we did with Trump, where Trump would launch 59 airstrikes against Bashar al-Assad while the Chinese premier was eating chocolate cake at Mar-a-Lago.
00:46:56.860You know, we're lucky here in Canada, as someone once said, we're a fireproof house far away from inflammable materials.
00:47:05.120We're lucky enough to be right by the United States.
00:47:08.420If we were Taiwan, Israel, South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Poland, the Baltics, or, of course, Ukraine, we would be in a pretty tough spot.
00:47:16.140I think it's dark days, and I hope the dominoes don't fall.
00:47:18.960Joel, you've been very generous with your time.
00:47:20.880I look forward to keeping an eye on your essays and columns and news reports at Breitbart.com.
00:51:10.720Here is what the owner of the Keste restaurant in Montreal had to say about this movement.
00:51:17.140Why it's really important for you to join the movement to reopen on the 30th of January without vaccine passport?
00:51:23.960So for us, the main reason we're doing this is because we think it's time that we all notice that there's time for change.
00:51:31.020And we think that if you just ask for one portion of the population that are vaccinated to come in,
00:51:36.900you're not going to get nearly as much support.
00:51:38.400You're not going to make as much of an impact and as much of a message.
00:51:40.820So we think by including everybody, because at the end of the day, we're all in this together.
00:51:45.080It's not like this is just one portion of the population that's faced with this issue.
00:51:48.800So I think it's important that you include everybody.
00:51:51.220And I mean, it is discriminatory to do what is being done right now.
00:51:55.800And I mean, it's important that we all band together and make a difference as a unit rather than just separating society like it's being done right now.
00:52:03.100How did you receive the decision from the government that they decide to close all the restaurants on the 31st of December?
00:52:11.560It was the same kind of decision that it took from last Easter.
00:52:17.240What was the impact on your business that day?
00:52:20.720So as per usual, they announced it last second.
00:52:46.840We've been closed for the past two weeks.
00:52:48.180If it's anything like we've seen in the past, we experienced a minimum of a 60 to 70 percent decrease in income.
00:52:53.880So that's another big thing we all experienced.
00:52:55.600But for us, our food costs and our costs aren't as high as other restaurants.
00:52:58.980But for other restaurants that have much higher costs, meaning rent, food costs, if you have steaks or if you have fish, your cost is obviously a lot higher.
00:53:08.920So for them, they all get ready in anticipation for New Year's and they're only told the day before.
00:53:14.240So for some restaurants, for example, because of also the SAQ has been on strike.
00:53:17.440Everyone had to pre-buy all their alcohol.
00:53:20.480Some restaurants bought over $100,000 worth of alcohol.
00:53:22.540They bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of food that unfortunately had to just be either the alcohol you can always return, but the food has to get thrown away.
00:53:34.440And it was like usual, very last second without any warning and without any consideration to what we've all been through for the past three years.
00:53:41.460The governmental help has definitely helped federally.
00:53:44.180I mean, provincially, we haven't really we haven't gotten anything from Quebec.
00:54:06.980Keep on funneling money into restaurants to keep them open while they're closed and then not give anything to hospitals that are still struggling.
00:54:12.620Like it's just counterintuitive if you're saying the hospitals are in need of help, not us.
00:54:19.020I mean, keep the restaurants open and give that money to the hospitals and actually fix the issue rather than just closing endlessly for the next God knows how many years.
00:54:26.820And since you announced that you will reopen and disobey to the regulation of the government on the 30th of January, how the population did react to your choice, your decision?
00:54:37.060Overall, I'd like to say it's been very, very positive.
00:54:43.040I can't give an exact percentage, obviously.
00:54:44.980Just I'm just basing myself because it's me who's been answering all the all the messages on Instagram and on Facebook and going through them.
00:54:50.540Minimum 70 percent, like minimum 70 percent.
00:55:56.480And then we also saw today that Saint-Houblon will be joining as well.
00:56:01.040They have three locations in Montreal.
00:56:03.140And then besides that, there's also Maison Istanbul in Laval as well, who will be opening.
00:56:07.980Putting your business at risk is something that is definitely scary for everybody.
00:56:10.860I mean, we risk losing licenses. We risk heavy fines.
00:56:14.120We risk I mean, we risk losing the support of our clientele because I mean, you don't you're not guaranteed to have support.
00:56:19.920You can either receive it or have people completely against you.
00:56:23.040So there's definitely that as a fear factor to to make people jump in.
00:56:26.680And another thing we've we'd like to say to other restaurants that are that are leaning or on the fence,
00:56:32.580that there are hundreds and hundreds of people who are ready to fill up any restaurant who are who are ready and willing to join.
00:56:38.720And I'm sure there's a well, not sure that I've seen that there's a ton of people who are ready to support anything that a restaurant may do.
00:56:44.680There's a bunch of lawyers who are ready to back anybody up.
00:56:46.960There's we have a community. Canada is strong. Canada is not divided, as we all think.
00:56:51.040I mean, there is a lot of people ready to jump on this cause and a lot of people ready to make change in this movement.
00:56:55.960So we will still be following all the sanitary measures because, like I said, we want really we really want to like push the fact that we want everybody on board.
00:57:03.200So there are people who are against the mask. Obviously, there are people who are for it.
00:57:06.360There are people for everything. So we're trying to find the middle ground where everyone can meet in the middle and feel safe if they come in one,
00:57:12.480because we obviously don't want to we don't want our clients to come in feeling like they're going to get sick and leave being sick.
00:57:17.400So we're going to follow all the sanitary measures. We're having a crew come in next week to properly clean the place.
00:57:22.440We're looking into getting some HEPA filters to also make the quality of the air in place.
00:57:27.340I mean, it's going to clear out the air and remove 99 percent of bacteria as well.
00:57:30.560So we are going to be following ways to show that, look, there's a way where we can meet in the middle.
00:57:35.780And there's a way where we can do this properly, where you don't have to close us all the time.
00:57:40.140There's a way we can do this properly and efficiently. And there's no need for us to be closed.
00:57:44.160Because, I mean, like we all know, there's no statistic, there's no fact that says it was us.
00:57:48.700Now you're just pointing fingers and taking the blame off of yourselves.
00:57:51.380So far, we can count more and more establishments joining in.
00:57:56.800Some of them want to reopen, but keeping the sanitary measure in place,
00:58:01.640while others simply want to remove the vaccine passport that discriminates against a part of the population.
00:58:09.140We can feel the impatience of the population for the reopening of these businesses.
00:58:15.680While this day go down smoothly, that remains to be seen,
00:58:20.780but Ribbon News will be there to bring you the other side of the story.
