Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. What a show today. Besides my own commentary on TikTok, Joe Biden and Justin
00:00:05.040 Trudeau, including a cat video and a bird video, I have a great heart-to-heart talk with our friend
00:00:11.580 Barbara Kay about medical assistance in dying, which is the new code word for doctor-assisted
00:00:18.160 suicide. That's ahead. But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News. Plus,

00:00:57.020 rebelnewsplus.com. All right, here's today's program.
00:01:14.760 Tonight, Joe Biden comes to Canada, perhaps the only world leader who can make Justin Trudeau look
00:01:20.400 smart. It's March 24th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:26.840 Shame on you, you sensorism bug.
00:01:38.520 Hey, I want to give you a monologue about a few things. But before I do, I really want to invite
00:01:43.980 you to stick around for my feature-length interview with Barbara Kay about medical assistance
00:01:50.400 in dying. Very powerful conversation. I just recorded with her. That's going to be in about
00:01:56.640 15 minutes when I'm done my monologue. So please, please stick around for that. But first, I want
00:02:01.080 to talk to you about yesterday. The CEO of TikTok, the social media app, was grilled by U.S.
00:02:07.040 lawmakers on Capitol Hill. I think he should be grilled. TikTok is a Chinese-owned company,
00:02:13.620 and China has laws that clearly state every single tech company in China must give unfettered
00:02:21.180 backdoor access to their entire systems to the Chinese security state. As in, anything TikTok
00:02:27.780 knows, the Chinese secret police and military know. They don't need to ask. They don't need to go to
00:02:33.340 court to get a search warrant. It's China. It's a dictatorship. They just take it. It's not a
00:02:38.220 secret that they do this. You might say, well, what does TikTok know about its users that is so
00:02:44.520 damaging to U.S. or Canadian national security? I mean, half of TikTok is silly video trends. I mean,
00:02:50.780 tell me this isn't funny and a bit gripping and a bit tempting to try doing it yourself.
00:02:57.600 I thought that was fun. That's the bait. That's the fun sing-along videos. That's the
00:03:13.780 fun video filters, like the one that I don't know how to do it, makes you look like you're 30 years
00:03:18.820 younger. That's me trying it out. It sort of looks like me 30 years ago. Not really, but still,
00:03:24.280 it's fun. I mean, come on. How much fun is this doing a duet, singing in harmony with the cat?
00:03:30.900 But the worrying part is that the app is in your phone and it has access to everything. You give
00:03:53.820 it access to everything on your phone, your friends list, your photos, your videos, your GPS location.
00:04:00.080 It asks you. You click yes. Over 100 million Americans have. Here's an excerpt from their
00:04:05.880 privacy policy. I went online to look it up. Who do we share your information with? We share your
00:04:10.500 data with third-party service providers who help us to deliver the platform, such as cloud storage
00:04:15.640 providers. We also share your information with business partners, other companies in the same
00:04:20.340 group as TikTok. Okay, that means everything's Chinese. Content moderation services, measurement
00:04:26.940 providers, advertisers, and analytics providers. Where and when required by law, we will share your
00:04:32.060 information with law enforcement agencies or regulators, China, and with third parties pursuant
00:04:36.840 to a legally binding court order. It's a gentle way of saying they share it with anyone they want to
00:04:41.360 share with, including the Chinese government. Look at this paragraph in their terms.
00:04:46.240 Use your content and behavioral information. We process the content you generate and view on the
00:04:51.060 platform, including preferences you set, such as choice of language, photographs, audios, and videos.
00:04:56.940 Or create comments and live streams you make. Use your content. We collect user content through
00:05:02.960 preloading at the time of creation, import or upload, regardless of whether you choose to save or
00:05:08.120 upload that user content in order to recommend audio options and provide other personalized recommendations.
00:05:14.540 So even if you don't publish it, they get it. We may collect information about the images and audio
00:05:19.940 that are a part of your user content, such as identifying the objects and scenery that appear,
00:05:25.480 the existence and location within an image of face and body features and attributes,
00:05:31.500 the nature of the audio, the text of the words spoken in your user. They're recording everything
00:05:37.400 about you and the room you're in and every word you say. We may access content, including text,
00:05:44.300 images, and video found in your device's clipboard or with your permission. It goes in. So if you
00:05:49.500 copy and paste something in an email app, they got it. You give them everything forever for free for
00:05:56.320 them to do whatever they like. I mean, it's bad. Sure, but is it as bad as having an accused
00:06:02.100 Chinese agent sitting in your parliament as part of the government? Take a look at this.
00:06:08.500 In February of 2021, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor had been detained in a Chinese prison
00:06:14.120 for nearly 800 days. But while they languished away, Ontario Liberal MP Han Dong allegedly advised
00:06:21.400 a top Chinese diplomat to hold off on immediately freeing them. Two independent national security
00:06:27.260 sources have told Global News that Dong spoke with China's Consular General in Toronto, Han Tao,
00:06:33.100 and suggested to him that if Beijing released the two Michaels, then federal Conservatives would
00:06:38.920 benefit. How exactly is not clear. Dong allegedly initiated the discussion with the Consul General,
00:06:45.860 where he also allegedly recommended that Beijing offer some show of progress with the two Michaels
00:06:50.820 cases to help benefit the Liberals, according to the two sources. Dong confirmed to Global News that
00:06:57.300 the conversation took place, but he denied he initiated the discussion and says that he advocated for the
00:07:02.620 two Michaels to be set free. At every opportunity before they returned home, I adamantly demanded
00:07:08.400 their release to Canada without delay, said Dong. Any suggestions otherwise are false and are attempts
00:07:14.220 to mislead you, your readers, and slander me. The two Michaels had been jailed in apparent retribution
00:07:20.280 for Canada's detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou. But at the time of Dong's conversation with the
00:07:26.240 Chinese diplomat, the Prime Minister had publicly been calling for their release.
00:07:30.300 This is an issue that is a top priority. Truro's office says the Prime Minister only learned of
00:07:35.440 the conversation with the Chinese envoy after Dong told PMO. But Dong only informed the Prime Minister's
00:07:41.200 team after Global News reached out for comment. As a Chinese Canadian, I am so proud. A national
00:07:47.240 security official told Global News that by the time the alleged conversation in February 2021 took place,
00:07:53.700 CSIS had already classified Dong as a close friend of the consulate based on his history of calls.
00:07:59.180 But they had also considered if Dong was acting as a back channel interlocutor between the Canadian
00:08:04.420 and Chinese governments. The PMO denied that theory, saying at no time was Mr. Dong ever used as a
00:08:11.160 back channel. Global News has not been able to independently verify what was said in the
00:08:15.340 communication between Dong and the Consul General. That's just a blockbuster. They would have lawyered that
00:08:20.400 article, that video very carefully. Here's Han Dong's response.
00:08:24.980 I rise on the point of order. I have informed the Prime Minister and the leadership of the
00:08:30.220 Liberal Party Caucus that I will be sitting as an independent at the conclusion of these remarks.
00:08:36.660 Mr. Speaker, I am in your hands as to what happens next.
00:08:40.660 To all my colleagues in the Parliament, media reports today quoted unverified and anonymous sources have
00:08:48.640 attacked my reputation and called into question my loyalty to Canada.
00:08:54.280 Let me be clear. What has been reported is false, and I will defend myself against these absolutely
00:09:06.320 untrue claims. But let me assure you, as a Parliamentarian and as a person, I have never and I will never and would never
00:09:20.100 advocate or support the violation of the basic human rights of any Canadian, of anyone, anywhere, period.
00:09:32.320 The accusations are false. My family came to Canada for freedom. I have had the privilege of being elected to this House, and I believe I have served honourably and pledged to continue to serve honourably and fulfill my oath of office.
00:09:51.320 I will continue to serve the residents of Daumali North as an independent member of this House.
00:09:58.320 I am taking this extraordinary step because to sit in the Government Caucus is a privilege, and my presence there may be seen by some as a conflict of duty.
00:10:13.320 And the wrong place to be, and the wrong place to be as an independent investigation pursues the facts in this matter.
00:10:22.320 I will be sitting as an independent so that business of government and indeed the business of Parliament is not interrupted as I work to clear my name and the truth is presented to Parliament and to Canadian people.
00:10:38.320 I am a proud Liberal, and I am proud of the work our government does day in and day out to serve the people of Canada.
00:10:51.320 I also do not want to distract from that important work.
00:10:56.320 Before concluding, I want to assure Mr. Michael Spavart and Mr. Michael Culvert and their families that I did nothing to cause them any harm.
00:11:11.320 Like everyone in this House, I worked hard and advocated for their interests as a Parliamentarian.
00:11:19.320 The allegations made against me are as false as the ones made against you.
00:11:26.320 To my constituents, I will continue to work on your behalf as your Member of Parliament.
00:11:33.320 To my staff, I thank you. I know the days ahead will be difficult, but I will be there to support you as we continue to serve the people of Dalmati North.
00:11:45.320 To my family, and in particular, my parents, who brought us here to Canada.
00:11:52.320 To my wife, Sophie, and my kids, I love you. I thank you for all the support and love you gave me.
00:12:09.320 The truth will protect us. Our owner and our family will get through this together.
00:12:17.320 Sorry about that. Thank you, Speaker.
00:12:24.320 The applause? The clap?
00:12:26.320 He was accused of working with the Chinese dictatorship advising them to keep the two Michaels in prison longer, and they applauded him.
00:12:32.320 They applauded him. That was last night. Here's today's news in the Globe and Mail.
00:12:37.320 Well, Trudeau government decided CSIS transcript of MP Handong provided no actionable evidence.
00:12:43.320 Oh, really? The Trudeau government determined that there was no actionable evidence after it received a CSIS transcript of an early 2021 conversation
00:12:52.320 between liberal MP Handong and China's top diplomat in Toronto, according to a senior government source,
00:12:58.320 saying conclusions could not be drawn that Mr. Dong asked Beijing to keep two Canadians in prison for political reasons.
00:13:05.320 What was he doing reporting to Beijing at all? What was he doing? He's not foreign minister.
00:13:11.320 I mean, TikTok is awful, and don't think Facebook and YouTube are any better.
00:13:15.320 We know from what Twitter has disclosed under Elon Musk that they were the same.
00:13:19.320 Twitter was basically in the service of the CIA and FBI.
00:13:22.320 So, of course, TikTok is in the service of China's People Liberation Army.
00:13:26.320 I mean, I don't mind the idea of banning TikTok, really.
00:13:28.320 It's malware. It's spyware. It feels like a toy, a game, a hobby, whatever.
00:13:32.320 It feels like an entertainment, but it's actually an espionage tool, just like DJI drones.
00:13:36.320 You know all those drones that people fly around?
00:13:38.320 Almost every single drone sold in Canada and America are Chinese-made,
00:13:42.320 and all of their data goes through their servers back in China.
00:13:47.320 I would say that every single square inch of America by now is mapped in high-definition video
00:13:53.320 by Americans using drones for fun, and that's all in China's hands right now.
00:13:57.320 And 100 million humans and all their social connections and everything in their houses and their rooms,
00:14:02.320 they have all that info, all of it.
00:14:05.320 They've been doing this sort of thing for years.
00:14:08.320 Here's a story from back in 2021 in the Globe and Mail.
00:14:11.320 Ottawa partners with Huawei to fund university research despite security concerns.
00:14:16.320 The federal government is partnering with Huawei
00:14:18.320 to sponsor leading-edge computer and electrical engineering research at Canadian universities,
00:14:22.320 a move critics say threatens this country's national security and economic interests.
00:14:27.320 Oh, and by the way, Huawei gets the patents.
00:14:30.320 You pay for it.
00:14:32.320 Huawei, which is China's version of Google, gets the patents.
00:14:34.320 So, yeah, on your app, TikTok, on your Huawei phone, or in your telecom hardware,
00:14:40.320 you can't avoid it, or in your MPs, you can't avoid them, or your prime minister,
00:14:45.320 or your former governor general, or your former prime minister,
00:14:50.320 who went to work for China less than two months after retiring as prime minister.
00:14:54.320 Now, Joe Biden might even be worse.
00:14:56.320 He might even be on the payroll indirectly.
00:14:59.320 His son, Hunter, takes millions from China.
00:15:01.320 Some reporting suggests it's much, much more than millions.
00:15:05.320 For no apparent work or skills, it's one of those no-work jobs.
00:15:09.320 Look at this story.
00:15:10.320 GOP probes China-linked payments to Biden family.
00:15:13.320 Provides no evidence tying directly to the president.
00:15:16.320 Oh, so they can't prove it went to Joe Biden himself.
00:15:19.320 Just the millions went to his son, who just happened to fly to China with Biden on Air Force One 10 years ago when Biden was VP.
00:15:29.320 So you have two of the most compromised leaders in the world when it comes to China, Biden and Trudeau.
00:15:34.320 Two of the most corrupt leaders in the world.
00:15:36.320 And frankly, two of the stupidest leaders in the world.
00:15:39.320 At least Biden has an excuse.
00:15:41.320 He's lived a long life.
00:15:42.320 He's in his twilight years.
00:15:43.320 He turns 81 this year.
00:15:45.320 And I'm sorry, he's losing some of his sharpness.
00:15:48.320 Don't ask me.
00:15:49.320 Ask TikTok.
00:15:50.320 How would you say your mental focus is?
00:15:53.320 Oh, it's focused.
00:15:55.320 I think it's I haven't.
00:15:58.320 Look, I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself my own head the number of years.
00:16:05.320 I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly.
00:16:08.320 I mean, it's just not.
00:16:10.320 I haven't observed anything in terms of there's not things I don't do now that I did before, whether it's physical or mental or anything else.
00:16:20.320 It's a huge problem.
00:16:22.320 But our government was corrupted the old fashioned way.
00:16:25.320 Money and power.
00:16:26.320 Before I stop talking about TikTok, let me tell you that I downloaded the app.
00:16:30.320 Then I deleted it because I was worried about security.
00:16:33.320 But then I downloaded it again because how can you say no to content like this?
00:16:37.320 How would you say your mental focus is?
00:16:40.320 Oh, it's focused.
00:16:42.320 I think it's I haven't.
00:16:45.320 Look, I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself my own head the number of years.
00:16:52.320 I know more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly.
00:16:56.320 I mean, it's just not.
00:16:59.320 I haven't observed anything in terms of there's not things I don't do now that I did before, whether it's physical or mental or anything else.
00:17:07.320 That was my excuse for showing you a bunch of cat videos and bird videos because those mental acuity parodies of Joe Biden are almost worth letting the communist spy on your phone.
00:17:17.320 Whatever conservatives are in power, Donald Trump or Stephen Harper, the media party and the left tells us they're warmongers.
00:17:24.320 They're cowboys.
00:17:25.320 They don't know how to do international diplomacy.
00:17:27.320 It's a lie.
00:17:28.320 Obviously, Harper had stronger relations with almost every country in the world at the end of his term than at the beginning.
00:17:33.320 He improved Canada's standing in the world, maybe with the exception of Russia.
00:17:37.320 Trump brought peace to the Middle East, peace to the Korean Peninsula.
00:17:41.320 Russia, which invaded Ukraine both before and after Trump, didn't dare do it when he was in office.
00:17:47.320 Harper didn't have such military power, but he had some respect from world leaders.
00:17:50.320 Even Barack Obama, who disagreed with Harper on most things, agreed to exempt Canadians from his Buy American trade rules, agreed to a software lumber deal.
00:18:00.320 Obama didn't approve Keystone XL, but at least he didn't kill it until Trudeau took office.
00:18:06.320 It's true that Trudeau opened our borders to take every fake refugee in America, but it's also true that the Democrats are bussing their illegal migrants up here that's easier than them deporting them.
00:18:17.320 Speaking of which, did you see our new trailer for our undercover video from Roxham Road?
00:18:21.320 Take a look at this teaser.
00:18:35.320 Yes, it's Blackburn.
00:18:36.320 So, Roxham?
00:18:37.320 Yeah.
00:18:38.320 Roxham Road?
00:18:39.320 Yes.
00:18:40.320 Well, less than April on the internet.
00:18:42.320 You came to Mexico and did you ask for asylum?
00:18:45.320 Yeah, yeah.
00:18:46.320 Yeah, yeah.
00:18:47.320 A friend of us, who was here in New York, went to the airport and gave him permission to work.
00:18:52.320 Stay in your own country.
00:18:53.320 I'm here with a purpose.
00:18:54.320 Stay in your own country.
00:18:55.320 I'm here with a purpose.
00:18:56.320 Stay in your own country.
00:18:57.320 I'm here with a purpose.
00:19:03.320 There is a process to determine whether someone is a refugee.
00:19:18.320 There are steps to go through.
00:19:19.320 Those who are seeking to go somewhere else, not we're pushing or forcing.
00:19:20.320 If they're seeking to go somewhere else, we are helping in the retiketing process.
00:19:25.320 There's so many homeless here and they're bringing people from other countries where there's people
00:19:32.320 here struggling with mental illness.
00:19:33.320 The issue starts at our southern border where the U.S. has declined to enforce proper immigration.
00:19:40.320 And you allowed them to live in a hotel, but yet the major crisis of homelessness is very,
00:19:47.320 very big.
00:19:48.320 So I'm in Broxham Road and I'm waiting actually for Lincoln G to arrive.
00:19:49.320 He just arrived in Platteville.
00:19:50.320 He arrived in Platteville.
00:19:51.320 So I'm in Broxham Road and I'm waiting actually for Lincoln G to arrive.
00:19:52.320 He just arrived in Platteville.
00:19:53.320 He just arrived in Platteville and he took a cab.
00:19:54.320 Just like that, I'm in the back of a hotel.
00:19:55.320 He just arrived in Platteville.
00:19:56.320 He just arrived in Platteville.
00:19:57.320 He took a cab.
00:19:58.320 Just like that, I'm in the back of a hotel, where the U.S. has declined to enforce proper
00:19:59.320 immigration.
00:20:00.320 And you allowed them to live in a hotel.
00:20:01.320 But yet, the major crisis of homelessness is very, very big.
00:20:06.320 So I'm in Broxham Road and I'm waiting actually for Lincoln G to arrive.
00:20:15.320 He just arrived in Platteville and he took a cab.
00:20:20.320 Just like that, I'm in the back of a taxi cab waiting to go to Roxham Road.
00:20:31.320 Why wouldn't you ask that?
00:20:32.320 You're running across the border.
00:20:33.320 We have to go to police on Lincoln.
00:20:41.320 That's going to be incredible.
00:20:42.320 Anyways, back to Ottawa.
00:20:43.320 The Dumb and Dumber Show.
00:20:45.320 These guys, they have the same speechwriter.
00:20:47.320 Literally, here's Joe Biden talking about Build Back Better.
00:20:50.320 We've seen the Senate advance two key pieces of my economic agenda.
00:20:55.320 The bipartisan infrastructure bill and the budget resolution that is the framework for my Build Back Better plan.
00:21:02.320 And back in the campaign, you know, I said we're going to build back and we're going to build back better.
00:21:07.320 Not just, we can't just build back.
00:21:08.320 We've got to build back better.
00:21:09.320 And today, I want to outline some of the key pieces of this Build Back Better agenda and what's it going to do for the people of Illinois and the people of the United States.
00:21:17.320 To meet the challenges of today, we can't just build back the way things were before.
00:21:22.320 We have to build back better.
00:21:24.320 Yeah, and here's Trudeau talking about Build Back Better.
00:21:27.320 We will continue to offer supports that will help keep their doors open and grow their businesses during this difficult time and beyond.
00:21:35.320 Because we can only build back better if we lean on one another.
00:21:39.320 This week, the government outlined our plan to get Canada through the pandemic and build back a better country for everyone.
00:21:45.320 As we work to finish the fight against COVID-19 and build back better.
00:21:49.320 What does that mean?
00:21:51.320 Look, it's insane that Joe Biden says he's going to run again.
00:21:55.320 And it looks like he means it.
00:21:58.320 It's even crazier that Trudeau will run again, too.
00:22:02.320 Stay with us for more.
00:22:04.320 You know, I was at the formerly known as Manning Center Conference.
00:22:19.320 Now it's called the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference.
00:22:22.320 And I mentioned this in my show the other day.
00:22:25.320 There was a panelist who said he asked, I don't know, a dozen or more conservative party candidates to define what is a woman.
00:22:34.320 So these are conservative candidates.
00:22:36.320 And none of them, not one of them would.
00:22:39.320 We all know what a woman is.
00:22:41.320 A child knows what a woman is.
00:22:44.320 It takes a very educated and sophisticated grown up to pretend not to know.
00:22:50.320 I understand why to get the answer wrong could mean you're political doomed.
00:22:55.320 Do you remember this?
00:22:56.320 I don't know if you saw this.
00:22:57.320 I mean, Scotland is far away geographically from Canada, but it is not very far away politically.
00:23:03.320 Take a look at this.
00:23:05.320 When the first minister of Scotland, I think that would be equivalent to being the premier of Scotland.
00:23:10.320 It's a little bit more than that.
00:23:12.320 was asked a question about a male to female transgender who was, I'll let it speak for itself.
00:23:21.320 Look at this.
00:23:22.320 This pushed the first domino that caused her to be ousted as first minister.
00:23:27.320 Take a look.
00:23:28.320 My question is, are all trans women women?
00:23:31.320 You haven't answered that question.
00:23:32.320 Well, that's not the point that we're dealing with here.
00:23:35.320 That's the question I'm asking.
00:23:36.320 Trans women are women, but in the present context, there is no automatic right for a trans woman.
00:23:41.320 So there are contexts where a trans woman is not a woman?
00:23:43.320 No, there is circumstances in which a trans woman will be housed in the male prison estate.
00:23:51.320 Is there any context in which a woman born as a woman will be housed in the male estate?
00:23:54.320 Look, we're talking here about trans women.
00:23:56.320 And I'm now asking about women born as women?
00:23:58.320 I don't think there are circumstances there.
00:24:00.320 So it's different for trans women?
00:24:02.320 Well, yes.
00:24:03.320 So they're not equal?
00:24:05.320 There is a risk assessment process done for trans women that takes account of the nature of the crime.
00:24:12.320 Clearly, significant concern arises out of sexual crime and whether it's appropriate for them to be in a female prison or a male prison.
00:24:20.320 Well, I think that goes to show that if you are a politician and cannot bring yourself to say that a woman is an adult human female, then you are in trouble.
00:24:29.320 But these dozen or more conservative candidates in Canada felt the opposite.
00:24:34.320 They felt they dare not say that a woman was an adult human female or they would be destroyed by some cancel culture mob.
00:24:43.320 And they are correct.
00:24:45.320 I think the case of the Scottish First Minister being ousted was a rare example of that compared to the ubiquitous examples of transphobia being the cause of so many political demise.
00:24:59.320 But I think the point that the panelist of the Manning Center was trying to make to me and to the crowd rather was to show some courage, people.
00:25:09.320 And understand that real life is not like Twitter and real life is not like Parliament where where I mean Trudeau famously said, we don't say humankind.
00:25:19.320 We say people kind.
00:25:20.320 Remember that video?
00:25:21.320 Here's a flashback of that.
00:25:22.320 Well, I always admire when people, especially people with something to lose, take a stand for common sense because it's not very common these days.
00:25:32.320 I think of J.K. Rowling, the great author behind the Harry Potter series, a billionaire, a self-made woman in so many ways.
00:25:38.320 And if they try and go for her, well, then surely they can go for you.
00:25:41.320 So when I see people standing up, for example, when we interviewed the power lifter, April Hutchinson last week, she has a lot to lose her competitive career, her reputation.
00:25:53.320 And yet she chose to take a stand.
00:25:56.320 One Canadian who takes a stand so often, she's almost the evil Knievel of daredevils in terms of living freely in this unfree age.
00:26:06.320 One of my favorite people, a great writer and someone who, at least for now, thank God, has a platform where she reaches millions of people, not just in the National Post, but also in Epoch Times and other outlets.
00:26:19.320 I'm talking about my friend Barbara Kay, who joins us now via Skype from Montreal.
00:26:23.320 Barbara, it's such a pleasure to have you back.
00:26:25.320 You are, Evel Knievel is the wrong analogy, because that's a daredevil who did deliberately, I would say, reckless things.
00:26:32.320 You are very thoughtful about your decision to speak plainly.
00:26:36.320 And what you do shouldn't be odd or crazy.
00:26:39.320 It's just rare.
00:26:40.320 And so I salute you for it.
00:26:42.320 You talk about the things that other people are just afraid to talk about.
00:26:46.320 Yeah, many people say you're courageous, but I myself do not feel that I am particularly courageous.
00:26:53.320 And I obviously am able to phrase what I want to say in ways that my newspapers, the National Post and the Epoch Times are comfortable with what I have to say.
00:27:06.320 And I think it's because I speak in not only with common sense, but everything that I say, everything that I allege is evidence based and it's rational.
00:27:18.320 So, so far, I've been lucky, but I will continue as long as I'm able to speak common sense.
00:27:26.320 Otherwise, as Solzhenitsyn says, live not by lies.
00:27:31.320 Life doesn't seem to be very much worth living if you can't say, speak what is an obvious truth to others.
00:27:39.320 I quote Solzhenitsyn more often than I ever used to because I remember during the pandemic, during the lockdowns, during the civil liberties bonfire, during the vaccine passports, during the brutality.
00:27:53.320 And there was brutality, people being forced out of their jobs.
00:27:56.320 The prime minister saying, should we even tolerate these people?
00:27:59.320 It was easy for me to fight in a way, Barbara, because who's going to fire me?
00:28:02.320 I work for myself and I'm at my own workplace and I'm not going to impose rules on people.
00:28:08.320 I'm not going to invade the privacy.
00:28:09.320 But if you are a working mom and it was your job or your conscience, well, what about your kids?
00:28:18.320 If you were, not everyone had the luxury.
00:28:21.320 So what Solzhenitsyn said that I always held by was, and I'm paraphrasing, of course, you don't have to fight.
00:28:28.320 You don't have to be a dissident.
00:28:31.320 You don't have to be a refusenik, as they were called in the Soviet Union, but just don't let the evil work through you.
00:28:39.320 Do not participate in it.
00:28:41.320 You don't even have to speak out.
00:28:43.320 Just don't speak for it.
00:28:45.320 And that micro step is actually more than most people did.
00:28:50.320 And I think of that again when I think of April Hutchinson, who just simply went to her competition and refused at the last moment to compete with the male to female transgender.
00:29:01.320 Because what more could she do?
00:29:03.320 If she tried to make a fuss, she would be kicked out.
00:29:05.320 Her career would, and that was her one.
00:29:08.320 And I thought about it, and I thought, that's as much as she can do.
00:29:12.320 Yeah.
00:29:13.320 But I have some news, and this was brought to my attention by you.
00:29:17.320 The International Association in Charge of Amateur Track and Field Events, it's called World Athletics.
00:29:24.320 They have taken a step towards sanity on transgenderism in sport.
00:29:31.320 What do you know about that?
00:29:32.320 And would you say it's a breakthrough, and do you think they're going to hold to it, or do you think they'll be bullied out of it?
00:29:39.320 What do you think about World Athletics, which is actually a pretty big deal?
00:29:42.320 It's almost like a mini Olympics just for track and field.
00:29:45.320 What do you think of that?
00:29:46.320 Yeah, I know it is very big news.
00:29:48.320 People have been waiting for this for some time, and up until very recently, and up until the announcement came, I think a lot of athletes were not expecting them to go that far.
00:29:59.320 They were not expecting them to make a distinction between biological males who identify as female and athletes with DSD, which is differences of sexual development.
00:30:12.320 And that is athletes that present as, or who have been raised as female, but that actually have a condition that they don't have external genitalia.
00:30:23.320 Anyways, long explanation, but the point is that a lot of the time they're lumped together, but it's two different situations.
00:30:32.320 So I'm glad that they separated them out.
00:30:34.320 And what they have said is, biological males who have had the post-puberty advantage, who have gone through puberty, will not be allowed to compete in the female division.
00:30:44.320 This is for all international events.
00:30:46.320 So that means that, say, Athletics Canada can decide, well, we're not going to change our domestic policy.
00:30:55.320 We're going to allow our athletes to self-identify into males, into female category.
00:31:01.320 We're going to maintain that position.
00:31:04.320 But then, of course, that puts them in a bad place, because if those people then want to go on to international competitions, they can't.
00:31:12.320 So they're not going to, if Athletics Canada does not follow through with the same policy here, they're going to have the athletes mad at them, and they're going to have activists mad at them, because they're not going to satisfy anybody.
00:31:26.320 So this is a huge announcement.
00:31:32.320 If athletes are looking for a pathway to the Olympics or to any other international world championship or whatever, they know now, or female athletes know, that they can be sure that at least when they get to those international events, they will be competing only against other women.
00:31:52.320 I think that's huge.
00:31:54.320 It's a real shot in the arm for athletes who have been very discouraged by the, you know, the ongoing, you know, this commitment to self-identification, which has spread like wildfire through the sporting world.
00:32:11.320 So it looks like it looks like it looks like some sanity has returned in a very big way.
00:32:17.320 Same with rugby.
00:32:18.320 Same with swimming.
00:32:19.320 I think I think we've reached a pivotal moment.
00:32:22.320 And I think this could be the beginning of the end of the whole irrational movement that has allowed males to simply self-identify into female sport.
00:32:34.320 You know, I hope you're right.
00:32:36.320 You know this file much better than me.
00:32:38.320 You're the co-author with Linda Blade of Unsporting, which I mean, you really know your stuff on this.
00:32:45.320 You brought this to my attention, obviously, today, so I don't dare disagree with you, but I am more pessimistic than you.
00:32:53.320 I maybe I know maybe I come from the political world way back when.
00:32:58.320 And so I'm used to disappointments.
00:33:00.320 And I don't know if this can hold because the power of censorship and compliance and conformity around transgenderism is greater than anything else I've ever seen on social media.
00:33:13.320 Certainly you misgender someone.
00:33:15.320 You dead name someone.
00:33:17.320 These are these are phrases that didn't exist 10 years ago.
00:33:19.320 Misgender is call a natural born man a man even after he says I'm a gal and dead naming is the name your mama gave you as opposed to your new name as a new gender.
00:33:29.320 Those two things are now they will get you suspended or blocked on many social media platforms more than any other species of I don't know hate speech or whatever was being regulated in the past.
00:33:43.320 It's just there's an extremeness to it.
00:33:46.320 And I yeah, that's why I was stunned by the news because world athletics.
00:33:50.320 I mean, there's nothing more political than the Olympics.
00:33:52.320 There's nothing more politically correct than the Olympics.
00:33:54.320 And this is really a feeder organization for the Olympics.
00:33:58.320 And I I'm really afraid, Barbara, that something big, someone bigger than world athletics is going to come and smash them into into compliance, whether that's woke TV networks announcing we're not going to cover this cutting off their money or someone from the Olympics saying you better conform to our policies or we'll, you know, disconnect from you.
00:34:22.320 I'm just worried that they are not so big that they can't be smashed back into compliance.
00:34:28.320 Maybe that's just the pessimist inside.
00:34:30.320 No, no, you know what?
00:34:31.320 You know what?
00:34:32.320 I I maybe I'm over optimistic here and maybe you're you could be very right because I just on Twitter the other day we got into a conversation about who are the biggest bullies you've ever seen.
00:34:42.320 You know, and I I did tweet the other day, I'm 80 years old and I've seen a lot of bullies come and go in in political life.
00:34:50.320 But I agree with you that the trans cultists, they are cultists, are the most vicious and relentless and determined and also very well organized, well funded.
00:35:05.320 I've never seen a movement like this in my entire life.
00:35:08.320 And so I can't say you're wrong, Ezra.
00:35:10.320 I I'm looking to be optimistic because I want to I want to believe that that reason is coming back to sport.
00:35:19.320 But, you know, I listen to you and I say, well, you know, Ezra is very plugged into the world.
00:35:26.320 I just I'm used to losing, not because I'm necessarily a loser, but but because I I know the odds, the odds against it.
00:35:37.320 Hey, listen, speaking of movements and bullies, I want to refer to an article you wrote about a week ago in the National Post.
00:35:45.320 The headline is thanks to Trudeau, Canada's death care system is top of the line.
00:35:52.320 And it's just absolutely incredible. Just before we turn the cameras on, I floated to you a statistic that I saw on on an American network that in Canada.
00:36:04.320 One in 30 deaths is an assisted suicide.
00:36:10.320 And I and as I ran that by you, I noticed you refer to stats in your article.
00:36:16.320 Let me just quote one paragraph from your article back to you and then I'd love you to expand on it.
00:36:21.320 California, as everybody knows, is the most one of the most progressive and woke jurisdictions in America.
00:36:27.320 It's a laboratory for many bad ideas.
00:36:29.320 It's it is a it's not just blue.
00:36:32.320 It is a deep blue place, politically speaking.
00:36:35.320 Here's from your article.
00:36:39.320 Consider that California, with the same population as Canada and universally regarded as a singularly progressive domain, legalized medically assisted death in 2016, just like Canada.
00:36:54.320 And then here's the incredible part.
00:36:56.320 In 2021, four hundred and eighty six Californians availed themselves of the program.
00:37:03.320 In the same year, ten thousand and sixty four Canadians ended their lives with M.A.I.D., medically assistance in dying.
00:37:15.320 A term for euthanasia used only in Canada and brazenly stolen from palliative care where it rightly belongs.
00:37:22.320 Ten thousand people euthanized.
00:37:27.320 That is the annual death toll of the coronavirus that we were told was the greatest threat to humanity in generations.
00:37:37.320 I believe that American stat now if I'd have to do the numbers.
00:37:41.320 But one in thirty people who dies was killed by a doctor in this country on purpose.
00:37:46.320 I find that shocking and demoralizing.
00:37:48.320 Well, I would have found it shocking a few years ago, even.
00:37:51.320 But it just shows you how quickly this way of dying, this method of dying has become normalized in Canada.
00:38:00.320 It is now one hundred percent normal.
00:38:03.320 Most people consider that it is there's nothing wrong with it at all.
00:38:08.320 That, in fact, it's a blessing that so many people want to, you know, save the taxpayers money by not extending their life by artificial means and all the rest of it.
00:38:23.320 And I I we are very much as it has been in the Netherlands for some time where people dying by euthanasia has been normalized for the last 20 years.
00:38:40.320 We're catching up really fast.
00:38:42.320 And the people that are driving that were the prime movers behind the bills that got us this far are agitating there.
00:38:53.320 They it's a step by step process for them.
00:38:55.320 Even David Lumetti said, well, we're not doing everything all at once.
00:38:58.320 This is step by step.
00:38:59.320 And the next step in the in the wings is advanced requests and euthanization of minors who are in severe, you know, that have severe disabilities.
00:39:11.320 Disabilities or or diseases.
00:39:14.320 So there's I mean, in in the Netherlands, there's a tired of life bill that is, I think, passed or going to pass soon.
00:39:25.320 There's no end to the slope because people that are fascinated with, you know, death by choice and death when you want it, who think it's wonderful.
00:39:36.320 They they won't stop until they get.
00:39:39.320 Well, I'd like to be killed simply.
00:39:41.320 I don't need to give you a reason.
00:39:43.320 Just do it.
00:39:44.320 And that'll be someday down the line, too.
00:39:48.320 So, yeah, it's a normal way to die here in Canada now.
00:39:52.320 It'll continue to be normal.
00:39:53.320 And that'll be the answer for our aging population, which is becoming a serious.
00:39:58.320 We have a broken health health care system and most of the people using it are older people.
00:40:03.320 And this is instead of instead of fixing the health care system.
00:40:07.320 So this is the federal government solution.
00:40:10.320 Encourage people to choose made and to choose it more often and to choose it for less pressing reasons than it was originally designed for.
00:40:19.320 And hey, presto, you're really going to, you know, I find it very troubling.
00:40:25.320 And I think the people who are promoting and advocating it know that they're outside the norms of morality.
00:40:31.320 I saw some guidance in Ontario from I think it was the College of Physicians and Surgeons.
00:40:38.320 It was a proposal that doctors who commit medical assistance in dying, that they list on the death certificate not that they killed the person, but that the underlying condition that was causing the person distress be blamed for the death.
00:40:59.320 So they're clearly alert to the fact that 10,000 killings a year by a profession whose ancient motto is do no harm.
00:41:09.320 Yeah, that actually is in my column as well.
00:41:12.320 The fact that the death certificate reads whatever diabetes or heart disease or whatever instead of they died from the drugs that were administered to them.
00:41:24.320 So, yeah, I think it's evidence of a guilty mind, evidence of a guilty mind for sure when you, if it's something that this government seems very proud of themselves for being so liberal, so progressive, why obfuscate?
00:41:39.320 Why deflect, you know, in the death certificate?
00:41:43.260 Why not just say if there's nothing wrong with it?
00:41:45.980 You know, Pope John Paul II, and I think all of Catholic faith, but that Pope in particular, they talked about the culture of life and fighting for the culture of life.
00:41:57.980 There really is a culture of death.
00:41:59.980 You know, I know that, and I'm not talking about the abortion battle in particular, but, you know, the pro-choice side always says we're pro-choice, we're not pro-abortion.
00:42:12.980 We're not actually advocating for the killing, we're just advocating for the right for the woman to make the decision.
00:42:17.980 That's the language of pro-choice.
00:42:19.980 But I think that creeping into these progressive movements, they actually are pro-death, at least on this MAID side of things.
00:42:29.980 I think they're constantly looking to expand the list of reasons why someone should kick the bucket.
00:42:36.980 Now it's not just terminal illness for which there's no reprieve.
00:42:41.980 Now it's, I'm depressed.
00:42:44.980 Now it's just, I'm poor.
00:42:46.980 Now it's, as our military says, oh, you have PTSD?
00:42:50.980 Well, I don't know if you're going to get any better, but how about just exit?
00:42:54.980 And by the way, you're going to save us all money.
00:42:57.980 The grossest thing was a few months back when that women's fashion store, Simon's, ran a cryptic ad for euthanasia.
00:43:07.980 Never coming out and saying what it was for.
00:43:09.980 Here's just a flashback to that really creepy ad.
00:43:12.980 I think they've taken it down now.
00:43:15.980 But imagine how many people agreed with that, participated in that.
00:43:19.980 That would have gone all the way up to the CEO who, in fact, boasted about it.
00:43:22.980 Here's that creepy euthanasia ad.
00:43:24.980 Buy a clothing fashion retailer.
00:43:27.980 Take a look.
00:43:29.980 Last breaths are sacred.
00:43:33.980 When I imagine my final days, I see bubbles.
00:43:38.980 I see the ocean.
00:43:41.980 I see music.
00:43:44.980 Even now, as I seek help to end my life, there is still so much beauty.
00:43:50.980 You just have to be brave enough to see it.
00:43:54.980 I think there really is a culture of death.
00:44:03.980 You know, people can mock it, but throughout the millennia, they really did throw virgins into the volcano.
00:44:10.980 They really did sacrifice people.
00:44:12.980 I mean, if you know anything about pre-Columbus Central America, they sacrificed people by the thousand, to the gods, to whatever.
00:44:23.980 Like human sacrifice, child sacrifice, these have been diabolical elements of civilization since before history was recorded.
00:44:37.980 And I think there's something in our society that is reconnecting with that, I don't know if pagan is the word, but that death cult.
00:44:47.980 Like that, there is something, and it's not just about money, Barbara.
00:44:50.980 In your article, you mentioned that there were studies that this would save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
00:44:56.980 That's a trifle in the tens of billions we spent.
00:45:00.980 It can't just be about money.
00:45:02.980 There are people who love death.
00:45:05.980 I mean, the Jews have a saying l'chaim.
00:45:07.980 That means to life.
00:45:08.980 A lot of Jews, if they wear a necklace, it says the Hebrew word for life, which is chai, l'chaim.
00:45:14.980 The Pope talks about, I mean, there's the forces of light and life.
00:45:18.980 And then there's people who prefer, I think they actually prefer death or dying.
00:45:24.980 I think so.
00:45:25.980 It can't just be explained by dollars and cents, Barbara.
00:45:28.980 What do you think?
00:45:30.980 I honestly do think that a lot of it is, I think, yeah, I think some of the people, the activists, you know, this death with dignity and all these organizations that that's all they think about is how to make it easier to, yes, I agree that some of the activists are definitely there.
00:45:46.980 For the government, I think a lot of it is about their unwillingness to put more money into palliative care, which is still unavailable to, I would say, the greater proportion of people that cannot access palliative care.
00:46:05.980 I think it's only for cancer patients in bigger centers.
00:46:10.980 That's wrong.
00:46:11.980 Everybody should have access to palliative care and everybody who is disabled should have access to adequate services in their own home if possible.
00:46:20.980 They should not be warehoused.
00:46:23.980 They should not be warehoused in these horrible conditions that you often that you discover when you start to do a little digging behind the scenes.
00:46:32.980 So they don't want to spend more money on that.
00:46:34.980 The more they can encourage people and then and then you've co-opted this word dignity.
00:46:39.980 But in other words, if you're not in full physical capacity, if you don't have full control over your body or if your mind isn't quite that that you no longer have human dignity.
00:46:52.980 And this idea that there's only human dignity when you are physically independent or physically and mentally independent, this is basically telling disabled people or mentally, you know, ill people, it's too bad you don't have human dignity.
00:47:08.980 But there is something you can do about that.
00:47:10.980 That's the subtle message behind this and this constant talking about dignity, dignity, as if dignity weren't inherent in in the in the human estate, no matter how, whether you're able or disabled or blind or not.
00:47:28.980 Not this is this is a very insidious kind of messaging that comes out of this movement.
00:47:35.980 So I agree with you in principle.
00:47:38.980 And by the way, I I'd like to add that I'm not against people, adult people having the right to to kill themselves or to have assisted suicide.
00:47:51.980 I just don't want the government doing it.
00:47:53.980 I don't want Medicare system doing it.
00:47:55.980 I don't want doctors doing it.
00:47:57.980 There's there's ways to this should be a separate a separate activity that is privatized and paid for by insurance.
00:48:07.980 It should have nothing to do with the health care system at all because it's not health care.
00:48:12.980 It's not palliative care.
00:48:14.980 So this feels related in some ways to the to the pandemic and the lockdowns and the mandatory medical procedures where doctors are doing things that we learned in the Nuremberg trials.
00:48:26.980 Doctors should not be doing doctors must be on the side of life, not death.
00:48:30.980 And, you know, I was thinking about in ancient times how they really did sacrifice children, sacrifice virgins like these.
00:48:38.980 These these ideas didn't come from nowhere.
00:48:40.980 They actually were how things were.
00:48:42.980 And when the Ten Commandments was brought down, it was it was limiting things like thou shalt not kill or thou shalt not murder is probably a more accurate translation.
00:48:53.980 That was a novelty.
00:48:55.980 That was an innovation designed to check the wild animal like state of man.
00:49:02.980 What's the fifth commandment?
00:49:04.980 Honor your mother and father.
00:49:06.980 I think that's related.
00:49:07.980 Don't off them when they're inconvenient and are costly.
00:49:11.980 Don't kill them.
00:49:13.980 So these very basic ancient rules that govern people.
00:49:18.980 There's just ten rules.
00:49:19.980 And number, you know, thou shalt not kill.
00:49:22.980 That's not number one.
00:49:23.980 It's a little further down.
00:49:24.980 And number five, honor your mother and father.
00:49:26.980 You we forget those at our peril.
00:49:29.980 And there was a there was another group of laws that the Jews called the Noahide laws, which are laws that don't just apply to the Jews.
00:49:36.980 They apply to all mankind.
00:49:37.980 Let me throw one of them at you.
00:49:39.980 It's a weird one.
00:49:41.980 You're not allowed to eat.
00:49:44.980 An animal that's alive.
00:49:46.980 And that's that's of course not.
00:49:48.980 Well, why?
00:49:49.980 Why?
00:49:50.980 Because it doesn't actually know because there's a deep morality to it.
00:49:54.980 There's a deep morality.
00:49:55.980 I think I think I know.
00:49:56.980 I think I know why.
00:49:57.980 I think I know why.
00:49:58.980 And that's because there was a custom.
00:50:00.980 I don't know if it's still extent, but there was a custom for Bedouins.
00:50:05.980 Who had no refrigeration to cut a limb off living animals in order to eat that limb.
00:50:12.980 And then the animal would still be alive.
00:50:14.980 And eventually it would be killed.
00:50:17.980 But I think that it was this was about kind, you know, not not having cruelty towards animals.
00:50:24.980 Well, that's that's my point.
00:50:25.980 Why would you care about cruelty?
00:50:27.980 Why would you care about a limbless?
00:50:30.980 Well, because because we're better than that because we have a spark of God in us.
00:50:35.980 And we care about even a dumb animal, a dumb ox.
00:50:38.980 We care about that.
00:50:39.980 The fact that they are in pain.
00:50:41.980 That matters to us, to our character.
00:50:44.980 And surely if you treat an animal with some basic respect, maybe you'll treat a human with as much respect.
00:50:51.980 The reason I'm talking about the Ten Commandments and the Noahide laws, and I'm sorry to do it to you, but I'm going to quote part of a poem by Rudyard Kipling called The Gods of the Copybook Headings.
00:51:03.980 Because I'm not particularly religious.
00:51:06.980 And I mean, there's there's different religious customs.
00:51:09.980 There's Judaism.
00:51:10.980 There's Christianity.
00:51:11.980 There's there's Islam.
00:51:12.980 But if we throw out everything, we go.
00:51:16.980 Why did these religions and these customs and these these codes of morality and then that move from religious texts into general secular philosophy?
00:51:26.980 Why?
00:51:27.980 Why did we do that?
00:51:28.980 Why did we do that?
00:51:29.980 Because if we don't do that, terrible things happen.
00:51:32.980 Terrible things happen when we say kill him, kill him.
00:51:36.980 You can live.
00:51:37.980 You can die.
00:51:38.980 Can I read a little bit?
00:51:39.980 This is a poem from Rudyard Kipling called Gods of the Copybook Headings.
00:51:44.980 And if you don't know what a copybook heading was, when kids used to learn how to write, they would practice copying something that was written at the top of the page.
00:51:53.980 It was a copybook and they would write it almost like writing lines.
00:51:56.980 They would write.
00:51:57.980 And what would they write?
00:51:58.980 They would be little little aphorisms, little sayings, little proverbs.
00:52:02.980 So while they were doing the rote learning how to write, they would also have this proverb drummed into their head.
00:52:10.980 Let me just read.
00:52:11.980 Give me a minute.
00:52:12.980 I know I'm so far afield here.
00:52:13.980 But when we're talking about things like, oh, yeah, death is no longer, not just death, but killing people is no longer taboo.
00:52:20.980 Let me just read a little bit.
00:52:22.980 It's from Kipling.
00:52:24.980 Gods of the Copybook Headings.
00:52:26.980 As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the gods of the marketplace.
00:52:34.980 Peering through reverent fingers, I watch them flourish and fall.
00:52:37.980 And the gods of the copybook headings, I notice, outlast them all.
00:52:43.980 We were living in trees when they met us.
00:52:45.980 They showed us each in turn.
00:52:47.980 The water would certainly wet us as fire would certainly burn.
00:52:51.980 But we found them lacking in uplift, vision, and breadth of mind.
00:52:54.980 So we left them to teach the gorillas while we followed the march of mankind.
00:52:58.980 We moved as the spirit listed.
00:53:00.980 They never altered their pace, being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the gods of the marketplace.
00:53:05.980 But they always caught up with our progress.
00:53:08.980 And presently, word would come that a tribe had been wiped off its ice field, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
00:53:14.980 I'm halfway done, Barbara.
00:53:16.980 With the hopes that our world is built on, they were utterly out of touch.
00:53:20.980 They denied that the moon was Stilton.
00:53:22.980 They denied she was even Dutch.
00:53:24.980 They denied that wishes were horses.
00:53:26.980 They denied that a pig had wings.
00:53:28.980 So we worshiped the gods of the market, who promised these beautiful things.
00:53:32.980 When the Cambrian measures were forming, they promised perpetual peace.
00:53:36.980 They swore if we gave them our weapons, that wars of the tribes would cease.
00:53:40.980 But when we disarmed, they sold us and delivered us bound to our foe.
00:53:45.980 And the gods of the copybook headings said,
00:53:48.980 Stick to the devil you know.
00:53:51.980 On the first Feminian sandstones, we were promised the fuller life,
00:53:55.980 Which started by loving our neighbor, and ended by loving his wife.
00:53:59.980 Till our women had no more children, and the men lost reason and faith.
00:54:03.980 And the gods of the copybook headings said,
00:54:05.980 The wages of sin are death.
00:54:07.980 I won't read the whole thing.
00:54:11.980 I recommend it.
00:54:13.980 It's basically Kipling a hundred years ago saying,
00:54:17.980 You can give up the old morality.
00:54:19.980 And that's not even Christianity.
00:54:21.980 He said he's not referring to the Decalogue.
00:54:23.980 He's not referring to the Noah high laws.
00:54:25.980 He's not referring to the Bible or the Jewish Torah or the Muslim Koran.
00:54:29.980 He's calling them the gods of the copybook headings.
00:54:32.980 Basic things that we know are true.
00:54:35.980 And when you are sacrificing children.
00:54:38.980 When you're killing the weak.
00:54:41.980 When you're killing people who are merely unhappy.
00:54:44.980 When you're killing people who are inconvenient.
00:54:46.980 You are toying with, I think, things that we put away 5,000 years ago, 10,000 years ago.
00:54:56.980 And we are inviting an era of evil and despair and darkness that took us thousands of years to put away.
00:55:04.980 That's what I think when I read your article about killing 10,000 people a year.
00:55:09.980 And making like it's normal.
00:55:11.980 Back to you, Barbara.
00:55:12.980 Thanks for letting me read part of that poem.
00:55:14.980 No, no.
00:55:15.980 I get it.
00:55:16.980 And I'm impressed by your passion on the subject.
00:55:20.980 And I really do agree that there is something that is pretty creepy when you allow this death as normal.
00:55:33.980 When you allow euthanasia to become normal in a society, you're making a statement about the sanctity of life.
00:55:43.980 That it really isn't.
00:55:44.980 It's only sacred if it appeals to a certain band of people who identify life worth living as life that gives pleasure and satisfaction and that you are totally in control of.
00:56:04.980 There's something very creepy about that kind of society because it puts a target on the back of the weak, the vulnerable, the very poor, the very old.
00:56:18.980 You know, when you know that your society is basically has become a society that would prefer that you were dead.
00:56:26.980 I think that's a terrible message to send to people like the person at the heart of my article, Roger Foley, who is disabled, but whose mind is sharp as a pack and who has, to me, as much dignity as anybody else just because he needs assistance for his physical needs.
00:56:45.980 Does not make him less dignified and should not make anybody less dignified in the eyes of their fellow citizens.
00:56:52.980 Yeah.
00:56:53.980 Well, Barbara, this is heavy stuff.
00:56:56.980 And as I started, I'll end, which is that you're not allowed to talk about these things in most places.
00:57:01.980 And you talk about it all the time in the Epoch Times and the National Post.
00:57:05.980 We're very grateful to you.
00:57:06.980 We're glad that you come and join us and that you have to suffer through me reading old poems.
00:57:10.980 No, no, not at all.
00:57:12.980 I really think that.
00:57:13.980 I like Kipling.
00:57:14.980 I like Kipling.
00:57:15.980 I love Kipling.
00:57:16.980 Oh, yeah.
00:57:17.980 Well, I mean, if he were alive today, he would be raging at the world.
00:57:21.980 He was raging at the world 100 years ago before most of the terrible things even happened in the last century.
00:57:27.980 Great to see you again, my friend.
00:57:29.980 You take care.
00:57:30.980 Thanks, Ezra.
00:57:31.980 Thanks for having me on.
00:57:32.980 Oh, what a pleasure.
00:57:33.980 There you have it, Barbara Kaye.
00:57:34.980 Stay with us.
00:57:35.980 Your letters to me next.
00:57:36.980 Hey, welcome back.
00:57:48.980 Your letters to me.
00:57:49.980 Johnny Rush says, it's interesting that people make a mistake and regret it and do some research
00:57:55.980 and you will see that what he thinks of Fauci, Big Farmer and the other crooks in the world.
00:58:00.980 Thanks, Ezra and Dr. Malone.
00:58:02.980 Talking about my interview with Dr. Malone.
00:58:04.980 I thought that was a very interesting interview and hopefully you could pick it up despite the fact that there were some problems with his Skylink.
00:58:10.980 Spielman says, imagine the son of a known eugenicist having such global control over everything and believing he's not malevolent.
00:58:18.980 How stupid can you be, people?
00:58:21.980 I'm worried about Bill Gates.
00:58:24.980 He has more power now than ever.
00:58:26.980 He's more wealth now than ever.
00:58:28.980 He has spent hundreds of millions of dollars buying peace in the media.
00:58:33.980 Occasionally, once in a while, a journalist asks him a prickly question, but it's very rare.
00:58:38.980 He is treated as polite company.
00:58:41.980 What he did with Jeffrey Epstein was enough for his own wife to divorce him.
00:58:44.980 And that's just what we know about.
00:58:47.980 And yet that man is the moral leader in the world and everything from vaccines and pandemics and lockdowns and climate.
00:58:54.980 What did we do to deserve that Dr. Evil character?
00:58:58.980 Well, that's our show for today.
00:59:00.980 I hope you don't mind me getting a little emotional reading that poem to Barbara Kaye.
00:59:04.980 Brian Kipling has a poem for so many crises.
00:59:07.980 He lived over 100 years ago.
00:59:09.980 In fact, I had the good fortune to pick up a couple of first edition books.
00:59:14.980 He wrote so many great short stories and poems.
00:59:16.980 I was just telling a colleague here, the Jungle Book, one of the most beloved books for kids, was written by Roger Kipling.
00:59:23.980 Obviously, wonderful poems like If, Gunga Din, incredible poem, short stories, and very politically incorrect poems about empire as well.
00:59:37.980 But I think that poem, I mean, If is one of, I'd say one of his most famous poems.
00:59:42.980 You know, every Remembrance Day I read his poem, Tommy Atkins, about the treatment of British veterans.
00:59:48.980 But today's poem, Gods of the Copybook Headings, is just terrifying.
00:59:51.980 Just terrifying.
00:59:52.980 And I point out that it wasn't explicitly Christian.
00:59:55.980 He was just talking about, you know, the wages of sin is death.
00:59:58.980 And if you, he, I think, was a man of the empire and a man of history and culture and order.
01:00:09.980 And he saw the way the world was going and he was appalled by it.
01:00:13.980 On that ambiguous note, let me say thank you to you for your support.
01:00:19.980 Have a great weekend.
01:00:21.980 We'll see you on Monday.
01:00:23.980 Until then, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
01:00:27.980 Keep fighting for freedom.
01:00:28.980 Keep fighting for freedom.
