Hello, my rebels. Today, I try and make sense of Justin Trudeau precipitously, suddenly,
00:00:08.720
spontaneously announcing an end to the no-fly rule for unvaccinated people like me. And
00:00:16.000
I don't think it was for any thoughtful reason or scientific reason. I think it was just PR
00:00:21.040
reasons and photo op reasons and panic reasons. I'll give you my explanation of things. It'll
00:00:26.280
be interesting to know what you have to say about it. Before I do, I want to invite you to
00:00:31.260
become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast. Obviously,
00:00:35.920
there's a lot to see in these podcasts, not just to hear, but also, it's not just my show you get

with Rebel News Plus. That's the video version. You get Rebel News Plus, you're getting four shows a
00:00:47.120
week from my colleagues, plus my daily show. That's 36 shows a month, just for eight bucks.
00:00:52.980
What a bargain. And it's how we survive, because we don't get any money from Trudeau. We rely
00:00:58.380
on you. So, please go to rebelnewsplus.com. Thanks a million. Here's today's show.
00:01:03.980
Tonight, Justin Trudeau finally announces the end of his airplane vaccine mandates. It's June
00:01:27.860
14th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show. Today, Justin Trudeau's cabinet announced the end of the
00:01:49.880
vaccine mandate required to fly on airplanes in this country. Other than China and North Korea,
00:01:56.460
Canada was the only place in the world that would segregate its citizens this way, punish them.
00:02:02.060
It was clearly a vendetta. Trudeau and his transport minister, Omar Al-Gabra, had repeatedly said that
00:02:09.640
they intend to continue this discrimination, that they were checking the science regularly as if they
00:02:16.860
ever did. So, why did Trudeau end the no-fly list for his unvaccinated enemies so precipitously? I should
00:02:26.940
tell you that yesterday, at the same time this story was leaked to CBC and other networks, our reporters
00:02:35.140
in Ottawa, by chance, bumped into Omar Al-Gabra on the streets. They were there for another reason,
00:02:42.220
and they literally bumped into him. Here, it's a one-minute interaction. You can see Lincoln Jay in there
00:02:48.780
and a very new reporter, literally his first week on the job, William Diaz-Bertium. Take a look at them
00:02:56.600
accosting Omar Al-Gabra and take a look at what Al-Gabra himself says.
00:03:00.920
What do you think of the fact that Canada is the only country with China and North Korea
00:03:07.540
that doesn't allow unvaccinated citizens to travel through planes? How are you? I'm super good,
00:03:12.780
how about you? I'm fantastic. Can you answer my question? When will the travel mandates end
00:03:17.840
for unvaccinated citizens? Does Ontario have a different science than the federal government?
00:03:25.800
Do you have like different scientists? Do you have different scientists? Are you able to answer
00:03:31.160
one question, sir? You've been elected by... Sir, is there any hope for unvaccinated travelers
00:03:36.040
to border plan or... Is there any hope, sir? As I said, science is... But the science changes.
00:03:42.420
Ontario is not the same as the federal. Do you have different scientists?
00:03:45.080
Have a good evening. Different scientists? Sir, is there any hope for unvaccinated
00:03:48.640
travelers? Anytime soon. China and North Korea, sir.
00:03:51.520
When will it end? Is it going to be forever? Forever, sir?
00:04:05.560
I think that's an embarrassment to the government. I think refusing to answer plain questions like
00:04:11.620
that shows a shiftiness and then lack of transparency. I think it shows an arrogance learned from his boss,
00:04:18.080
Justin Trudeau. But it also suggests that maybe Omar Alcabra himself was not involved with the decision
00:04:25.120
to end the mandates today. I'm going to take you through some reasons that I think that the
00:04:31.280
no-fly zone was ended for unvaccinated people. And I'm going to tell you why I think it actually
00:04:38.840
happened, not why it should have happened. And I'm also going to point out how there are certain
00:04:44.460
mandates and restrictions on unvaccinated people that remain. I think it all started at the end of
00:04:52.080
January when the trucker convoy broke the false consciousness that this endless lockdown was
00:05:00.980
accepted by all Canadians. See, everyone agreed, right? All the governments in Canada and all the
00:05:06.500
opposition parties, all the media, all the courts, not a single judge had struck anything down,
00:05:11.760
all the businesses. They all propagated this false consciousness that there was unanimity that
00:05:18.580
everyone in Canada agreed. Point to me, someone who didn't. They were just kooks. Well, then the
00:05:25.080
truckers broke that and proved that millions of Canadians didn't agree. They gave a voice to people.
00:05:31.820
And you'll remember the Ash conformity test that we showed you. As long as there's one other person
00:05:37.080
willing to say the world is mad, and I don't agree, that gives everyone else tremendous confidence to
00:05:42.320
say so too. The conformity was shattered by the truckers. Now, that didn't dissuade Trudeau. In fact,
00:05:49.860
it made him angrier. It made him even more vengeful. But it showed Canadians they were no longer alone if
00:05:57.780
they disagreed with Trudeau's civil liberties bonfire and the junk science. And the truckers did have a
00:06:03.320
success. They removed Aaron O'Toole, Trudeau's conservative lockdown collaborator. And I say that
00:06:09.400
importantly because his job was to oppose and he refused to oppose. If it were not for Aaron O'Toole
00:06:16.380
agreeing to, assenting to everything that Trudeau did, perhaps we wouldn't have gone as deep down this
00:06:22.840
road and perhaps we would have gotten out of it sooner. But still, Trudeau persisted. As every other
00:06:29.740
country in the world abandoned their lockdowns and their limitations on flights, Canada went rogue and
00:06:36.200
got harsher. And why not, really? I mean, Jagmeet Singh gave Trudeau an effective majority by promising
00:06:42.040
to prop him up. And look, 99% of journalists were on the take with his bailout. They weren't going to
00:06:48.320
oppose him. No judge stopped Trudeau. Why would he relent? That's the thing about Trudeau. He can be quite
00:06:54.760
petty. To relent would mean to give the truckers a victory. Now, you remember a few weeks ago,
00:07:00.840
I pointed out that WestJet's new CEO, a foreigner, a newcomer to Canada, only on the job a few months,
00:07:08.040
unfamiliar with the submissive obedience of our corporate class, he called for the end of the
00:07:14.040
mandates. It was very exciting. And I thought it would be the perfect moment for others to join in.
00:07:19.400
But his cowardly counterparts at Air Canada and the other airlines knew better than to
00:07:25.380
challenge Trudeau. Every CEO was silent. And even if they hadn't been, who cares? Not Trudeau.
00:07:33.300
It's funny. I'm talking about CEOs. Let me show you about a tweet just today
00:07:37.060
by Perrin Beattie, the head of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Perrin Beattie, who decades ago was
00:07:42.500
actually a cabinet minister himself. So his job was to be an advocate for business.
00:07:46.680
And yet he literally waited till today to come out against vaccine mandates until the battle was won,
00:07:56.420
until it was over. He was silent as a mouse for two years. Well, I guess he was serving his true
00:08:02.340
masters, not mom and pop shops, not customers, not anything to do with freedom. But I think Amazon
00:08:07.760
loved the last two years and Netflix loved the last two years and Walmart managed to get an exemption
00:08:13.220
for itself. What a gross display of Canadian cowardice. But just like the truckers were an
00:08:21.180
unexpected force, so was an American hockey player, former NHL player turned journalist,
00:08:28.620
Ryan Whitney. I showed you his viral video the other day. He was trapped in Toronto's Pearson Airport
00:08:34.560
for a full day. And he was so exasperated. He made a viral video about it. As you know,
00:08:40.480
it got more than 2 million views. It's a short video. I want to play it for you again,
00:08:44.460
because I want to show you the power of this stranger, not even a Canadian. Remember this?
00:08:50.240
Hey guys, Whit here. I don't even really know what to explain. So for people telling me to drive,
00:08:58.440
I can't drive. They have my bags. They won't give them back. So I had Edmonton to Toronto
00:09:03.820
yesterday. I landed around 3. I then had Toronto to Boston at 8.30. Customs was about three hours,
00:09:10.840
got through, flight canceled from Toronto to Boston. All right. At this point, now I go and I see there
00:09:18.400
is a 400 person line with two Air Canada workers. There's a million canceled flights. Everyone's just
00:09:25.020
panicking. So I waited in that line about six hours. At near the end of the line, by the way,
00:09:32.040
you know how much my feet hurt? But near the end of the line, they closed it. They just said,
00:09:37.880
oh, you have to go somewhere else. We had to re-enter Canada. We had to go through Canadian
00:09:41.520
customs. So by the time I finally see someone from Air Canada, it's 1am. I said, can I just get my
00:09:48.120
bags? I had a ride to Buffalo all set up. And I had a JetBlue flight from Buffalo. I just need to get
00:09:53.380
out of this country, out of this airport. This is the worst airport on earth. I'm telling you,
00:09:58.820
there's no other airport like this. That's why we were freed today. Not because of any political
00:10:05.840
party, not because of any judge, not because of the media party, but because the truckers broke the
00:10:10.240
trance the Canadians were in. They broke the false unanimity where the establishment had convinced
00:10:18.180
millions of us that resistance was futile. And then an American sports journalist with a sense
00:10:23.840
of humor pointed out that the emperor had no clothes and that we were living in a terrible way
00:10:30.600
to live. And the safest bet of all for why we were freed today is that Justin Trudeau's own
00:10:39.860
corruption and lawlessness, he just can't help himself. Here's what I mean. I don't know if you saw
00:10:46.620
the news, but Justin Trudeau, who claims to be what, triple jabbed or whatever, he's got COVID,
00:10:52.560
he says. Sounds like he might've picked it up on his latest vacation in the United States. He was
00:10:58.040
coming back from the United States. He had COVID. He knew it. He crossed into Canada by plane
00:11:05.880
while he was sick, while he had COVID, while he was infectious. Now, of course, he's not going to be
00:11:12.960
quarantined. He's already shown that before. Last time he got it, he didn't want to stay in the
00:11:16.760
quarantine. He flies sick. He flies without a mask. He flied into Canada sick. That's against the law.
00:11:25.760
His own arrogance ensured that his discrimination was untenable because how could he do that the same
00:11:34.120
day telling Canadians they had to follow his absurd laws? The constitutional challenge, by the way,
00:11:40.560
to the no-fly list that the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms is doing, with Brian
00:11:46.140
Peckford as one of the plaintiffs. That is still continuing, and I'm glad it will, because we need
00:11:51.940
to air the facts. Why did this flight ban get imposed in the first place? What junk science were they
00:11:57.740
relying on, or was it all politics? Why was it maintained for so long? And more than just knowing,
00:12:04.360
we need the courts to strike it down and say clearly it was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court
00:12:09.400
has not heard a single case regarding the lockdowns. Why? Why are they, are they busy with
00:12:18.100
other things? Why didn't they choose to fast-track a constitutional challenge? Why didn't they say,
00:12:23.120
this is so important, we're going to deal with it? In two years, they've done nothing.
00:12:28.520
So much for the vaunted Charter of Rights that was promised to protect us all. What a lie
00:12:33.260
it's been. Those are some reasons that Trudeau moves suddenly. But here's another one. Like I
00:12:40.760
said, Aaron O'Toole was defenestrated by the truckers, and I'm so glad because he's given us
00:12:46.540
a chance to have a real opposition. I want to show you an example of that opposition. This is a three
00:12:51.240
minute video. I'm going to play the whole thing. It's Pierre Polyev, who's one of the candidates for
00:12:56.360
the leadership of the Conservative Party. And if my sense is correct, I think he's going to win.
00:13:01.600
He did a video at Pearson Airport, and it's so high energy and lively. It's so well shot.
00:13:08.180
It's one shot. He starts walking in the airport. He comes outside. I love how he whips off his mask.
00:13:13.740
And he describes what's going on at the airport so clearly. This video has half a million views on
00:13:20.240
Twitter, a couple hundred thousand more on YouTube, a true viral video. This is something that Aaron
00:13:26.100
O'Toole never did. And had Aaron O'Toole opposed, like his title opposition leader told him to do,
00:13:34.080
and had he been conservative, as his party level claims he would do, I think Aaron O'Toole would
00:13:39.480
still be the opposition leader today. In fact, he probably would be the prime minister. But look at
00:13:44.020
this from Pierre Polyev just a couple of days ago. And maybe this was a reason why Trudeau decided to
00:13:51.300
rip off the Band-Aid all at once. Take a look. I'd call it hell, but it's more like purgatory.
00:13:57.500
Purgatory is a place where you go to wait. And that's what all these people are doing. They're
00:14:01.460
waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting just to drop off their bags. Then,
00:14:08.880
God forbid, they might have an international flight. They'd have to go through customs where they'll
00:14:14.660
wait and wait and wait. And of course, there's security as well. People have been talking about
00:14:18.700
waiting four hours at this Toronto International Airport, Pearson, mostly because the prime minister
00:14:25.680
continues to impose unjustified vaccine and other COVID-related restrictions that the world left behind
00:14:33.760
long ago. For example, processing times at customs are quadrupled because of the ongoing COVID
00:14:43.800
restrictions. And of course, much of the workforce that normally makes these places operate and run
00:14:49.420
are banned from working because of their vaccine status. Now, this all at a time, thank God I can
00:14:55.840
take this off and breathe again, this at a time when the rest of the world has moved on. Many of the
00:15:01.860
countries have gotten rid of all these restrictions. All 10 provinces have gotten rid of the COVID
00:15:07.620
restrictions. The banks are getting rid of them. And the airlines have requested that the federal
00:15:13.580
government do the same in its jurisdiction. But Trudeau wants to hold on because this pandemic has all
00:15:18.660
been about a power trip for him. Remember, when it first struck, he wanted to use COVID as an excuse
00:15:23.200
to give himself the power to raise any tax to any level for any reason without a parliamentary vote.
00:15:27.580
He then went on to try and pass laws restricting what you see and you say on the internet. He
00:15:33.300
eventually used the Emergency Act to freeze people's bank accounts. Countless other examples
00:15:38.100
of power trips that he thought that he could get away with that he continues to strive to produce. Now,
00:15:44.580
many people thought they weren't affected by this power trip. Well, now they ever try to take a flight
00:15:50.400
from this God forsaken place. They know that even if they're vaccinated, they are suffering
00:15:55.960
the consequences of policies that were designed just to punish the unvaccinated minority. Friends,
00:16:04.340
we have here a prime minister who is dividing our population for his own political gain. And now
00:16:11.220
everyone is paying the price for those divisions. We need to get rid of this guy, unite the country for
00:16:17.080
freedom, not just because freedom is right, but because it is practical. We can get the gatekeepers out
00:16:24.100
of the way in so many areas, whether it's producing energy or allowing our immigrants to work in their
00:16:29.440
professions or allowing our unvaccinated people to safely go back to work as people have been doing
00:16:36.020
all around the world. Everyone will be better off. Freedom makes us all better off. Let's move forward
00:16:42.320
to unite for freedom. And for God's sakes, let's get our airports working again.
00:16:46.560
That's a great video. Pierre Paulyevre has shown he can go around the media with a strong message,
00:16:52.340
connect directly to real people. Now, the liberal pollsters we talked about the other day,
00:16:56.940
Abacus Data, they lament the loss of trust in institutions. They blame conspiracy theories. But
00:17:04.320
the government, the opposition parties, the courts, the media, the NGOs, the medical profession,
00:17:10.800
academics, they were all colluding against our rights. It actually was an open conspiracy.
00:17:21.180
And I think it became too much when Trudeau fluttered the rules. Not one of those institutions
00:17:26.500
fought to free us, not Perambidi of the Chamber of Commerce. The Globe and Mail, which claims to be
00:17:32.380
Canada's national newspaper, which claims to believe in the Charter of Rights, did not write
00:17:36.100
editorial after editorial demanding an end to the junk science ban on air travel. The Toronto Star,
00:17:43.060
which claims to stand for civil liberties. None of them actually gave a damn. They accepted it
00:17:50.640
because it didn't affect them. They could travel. In fact, not only did they accept the segregation and
00:17:59.160
the vaccine mandate, they denounced anyone who complained, even denounced them as Russia sympathizers.
00:18:04.740
I'm not kidding. Never forget those who abandoned you these last two years, who abandoned Canadian
00:18:13.640
values like freedom and privacy. Never forget them as they gaslight you now, as they pretend
00:18:20.480
they were on your side the whole time like Perrin Behe. It was the truckers who did it. It was Ryan
00:18:27.460
Whitney, an American sports journalist who freed us. Maybe it was Pierre Polyev's video.
00:18:32.640
I don't know if Pierre, if Omar Al-Gabra actually even knew the news when our reporters accosted him
00:18:40.080
on the street. He didn't seem like it. I want to tell you, though, that it's not all good news.
00:18:48.700
Here's a clip of Omar Al-Gabra today indicating that there are still restrictions. You cannot get on a
00:18:56.020
cruise ship. If you come back to Canada, you still must be under quarantine. Take a look.
00:19:01.340
And I'm pleased to announce that on June 20th, our government will suspend the requirement to be
00:19:07.700
vaccinated in order to board a plane or train in Canada. Employers in the federally regulated
00:19:14.780
transportation sector will also no longer need to have vaccination requirement for their employees.
00:19:20.360
The suspension of the vaccine mandate was informed by key indicators, including the epidemiological
00:19:27.780
situation and modeling, vaccine science, and high levels of vaccination against COVID-19 in Canada.
00:19:36.100
As for travelers coming to Canada by air, land, and marine, there are no changes. All travelers
00:19:43.780
entering Canada must continue to follow all entry requirements, including vaccination and
00:19:50.160
using Arrive Can. As for cruise ships, vaccination for passengers and crew will remain in place.
00:19:57.260
Notice the language they're using. These mandates are suspended. They might bring them back. The
00:20:04.660
government today also suggested that they might add a third shot as the new definition of fully
00:20:11.140
vaccinated. So all of a sudden, millions more Canadians lose that status. Now, why would they bother
00:20:17.040
to do that if they didn't have plans to use that status? Why do they care that fully vaccinated now means
00:20:23.720
three shots instead of two? What difference would it make if it weren't mandatory, if something didn't turn on
00:20:29.860
him? I think that this was just to get Trudeau out of a pickle, to get him out of the pickle of breaking his own
00:20:36.720
laws by coming into Canada sick with COVID, to break the pressure on him from that American journalist and
00:20:43.220
actually Pierre Polyev making a great opposition video. But you don't call it a suspension if you don't
00:20:51.400
intend to reserve the right to bring it back. And you don't expand the definition of fully vaccinated if you
00:20:57.080
don't plan to use it. My friends, I'm afraid that we are not done this battle yet. And the only reason we have the
00:21:03.940
reprieve we do, I have to say, is not thanks to anyone in the establishment. For us here at Rebel
00:21:10.460
News, it's a flicker of hope. Many of our staff, including myself, have not been able to fly, let
00:21:17.040
alone outside the country. We couldn't even fly within our own country. It made it hard to do journalism,
00:21:21.600
but harder just to live. There are some people in Rebel News I've actually never met yet. They work in
00:21:28.060
other places across the country too far to come here. So in the days and weeks ahead, we'll slowly
00:21:32.980
return to the air as we used to do. We used to fly around, as you know, doing a lot of great
00:21:37.900
journalism. That's why in our recent trip to Davos, Switzerland, we only had teammates from Australia,
00:21:43.980
the UK, and the United States attending. No Canadians were allowed. They were allowed into
00:21:48.980
Switzerland. Switzerland does not discriminate based on VAX status. You can fly there if you're
00:21:53.460
vaccinated or not. Canada had a kind of Berlin Wall to keep people in. That's gone for now, but more
00:22:02.740
restrictions remain. I promise you that Rebel News will continue to fight against those remaining
00:22:07.420
restrictions and will fight like hell if they try and bring them back again, as the word suspension
00:22:12.600
and this new triple dose definition suggests. Stay with us for more. We'll talk to the lawyer
00:22:18.700
behind the Brian Peckford constitutional challenge. Next.
00:22:33.700
Well, there was a lot of good news today for people who've been living as second-class citizens
00:22:39.240
without any wrongdoing, without any trial, just simply because you're on Trudeau's enemies list,
00:22:45.600
because you wouldn't do what he said. You wouldn't get vaccinated, even if you had a perfectly good
00:22:49.580
reason not to be vaccinated, like you chose not to, or a medical reason like you had natural amenity,
00:22:56.520
you got sick and got better. Why would you take a vaccine? Or for whatever reason, like you wanted
00:23:01.180
the vaccine to be fully tested before you used it, or you came to the conclusion that you were not at
00:23:07.160
high risk and that maybe the COVID-19 disease was not as bad as has been said, especially in the early
00:23:15.000
days when we didn't know that much. Whatever the case is, there was good news, but there were hints
00:23:21.580
of more bad news to come. A hint that you must now be triple jabbed to be considered fully jabbed. Well,
00:23:29.300
why is that relevant? Unless there's going to be some new requirement for it. And of course,
00:23:34.160
to say suspend rather than terminate the airline mandates. Of course, there are still mandates you
00:23:40.180
can't get on a cruise ship if you're not vaccinated. So we're not done yet. But there are reasons why
00:23:46.360
this happened. I gave you some theories, but there is also a very important lawsuit working its way
00:23:51.820
through the courts far too slowly for my liking. And I say shame on the courts for not seizing it and
00:23:56.920
fast tracking it to answer so many questions. I think our courts are being positively lazy
00:24:01.540
in dealing with the constitutionality of these lockdowns compared to the United States Supreme Court,
00:24:07.720
which was issuing rulings months into things. I'm referring, of course, to the lawsuit by Brian
00:24:13.240
Peckford, the former premier and signer of the constitution, and other Canadians who have filed
00:24:19.640
an excellent charter challenge of these vaccine mandates on airlines. You'll recall that we went
00:24:25.940
through the lawsuit page by page with Brian Peckford himself. And we also spoke to the chief lawyer
00:24:33.380
behind the case, Keith Wilson, who's taking the matter for the Justice Center for Constitutional
00:24:38.320
Freedoms. Well, I'm delighted to have Keith Wilson, the lawyer behind that case, on the show now,
00:24:44.280
live via Skype from his Alberta office. Keith, great to see you again. Thanks for making the time on what
00:24:53.660
Well, thanks for jamming us in. Now, just before we turn the camera on, you mentioned that you were on a
00:24:58.160
conference call with the government of Canada lawyers. Now, I know there's certain things you're
00:25:04.400
not at liberty to tell us about because you have a, you know, you want a good working relationship with
00:25:09.040
the other lawyers and there's certain things that are confidential. But is it true to say they wanted
00:25:14.020
you to abandon this lawsuit? Can you talk about that?
00:25:18.860
Yeah. I mean, they've taken the position that because the travel mandate forcing millions of Canadians
00:25:26.780
either into vaccination or depriving them of their fundamental rights of mobility and flying
00:25:32.000
that they say we should just drop our charter challenge and drop our court case because the government's
00:25:42.080
now suspended that mandate. And we said, no, our intention is to proceed with the case. This is clearly
00:25:51.260
something the court needs to rule on. The government said numerous times, the various ministers in the
00:25:58.080
press conference today, that they will re-invoke the travel mandates without hesitation. They will
00:26:05.600
re-invoke the federal worker and the airport worker mandates without hesitation. So we're going to take
00:26:11.800
them on their word and we want this to go to court.
00:26:14.600
Yeah. I mean, I think that was a long shot of the government to try and get you just to walk away.
00:26:19.420
It was a, it's an excellent document. I, our viewers will remember we went through a page by page.
00:26:24.340
There's important reasons to have this trial, even if the issue feels moot today, as you said,
00:26:30.240
it could come back at any time. The government said that, but we, we need to learn more. We need to
00:26:34.920
learn on what basis this was made if it was motivated by politics, which I suspect, because we need to
00:26:42.620
know what the government, how it came up with this. It was all done in secret. There was no debate in
00:26:48.180
parliament over this. And, and we need the courts to weigh in on whether or not that's acceptable
00:26:53.040
under the charter, because we just simply have not had our courts speak out on any of these lockdowns.
00:27:01.320
Let me shine some light on something here for the first time. I've been very quiet recently,
00:27:07.140
because we have been in cross-examinations, uh, on the Peckford charter challenge. So the government
00:27:14.740
brought forth a surprising number of, of government officials and external experts, 16 in total.
00:27:22.480
And so these are the people that the ministers keep referring to as we're relying on the experts
00:27:28.440
and the testimony that we got from those experts in cross-examination, even today, it's still going on.
00:27:36.000
It started mid-May and the cross-examinations are scheduled to conclude at the end of June. It's
00:27:40.920
just been a grueling daily schedule here. But for example, the head epidemiologist for the public
00:27:47.340
health agency of Canada admitted while I was cross-examining her that they never recommended
00:27:54.220
vaccination of air travelers. I was stunned and I can provide you the transcript. I can provide you
00:28:01.640
with her affidavit. The written advice that they provided did not identify vaccination as a
00:28:08.640
mitigation strategy. They identified masking, they identified, uh, spacing at arrivals, departures,
00:28:14.800
and on the plane and things like that, a quarantine area if someone was sick. Um, but,
00:28:19.940
and when I put it to her that they hadn't in fact recommended vaccination, this is the head
00:28:25.540
epidemiologist for the government of Canada. She said, she volunteered that the reason is
00:28:30.400
the scientific evidence doesn't support that it would be effective. So we've, through this trial,
00:28:35.780
we've had this incredible disconnect where we've had the politicians saying, oh, the experts are
00:28:40.440
telling us this. We're cross-examining the experts and looking at their filed evidence. It's not saying
00:28:45.600
this. And they're saying, oh no, this is a political decision. Clearly the government,
00:28:51.560
the liberal government has been playing politics with Canadians, fundamental charter rights.
00:28:56.440
You know, it sounds very similar to when the public safety minister and the prime minister were saying,
00:29:02.540
um, the police demanded that we invoke the emergencies act. The police did it. We just relied on their
00:29:08.560
advice and all the police chiefs in question. So we never asked for that. Don't, don't put it on us.
00:29:14.700
Uh, politics, lack of transparency, lack of honesty. Uh, it, it's clear why they had to get Jody Wilson
00:29:22.900
Raybould out of there because I don't, you know, you know, the, the ministers they have in there will
00:29:27.120
literally do or say anything for their political goals. That's stunning. And yes, please do. If you're
00:29:31.880
able to send us the transcripts of this, we would love to, to do journalism about it. The head
00:29:38.080
epidemiologist for public health Canada saying they never recommended this. That's shocking.
00:29:43.740
Not only that the head policy expert for transport Canada testified and included in her affidavit
00:29:51.880
that they made a conscious decision not to grant exemptions, uh, for travel on compassionate
00:29:59.840
grounds. That was a conscious decision to deprive Canadians who are trying to get a parent who is
00:30:07.920
trying to get to their adult child's bedside. Who's been injured in a car accident and dying on the
00:30:12.720
other side of the country. Someone trying to get to their, um, elderly parents' bedside while they're
00:30:19.560
dying of cancer or to their funeral or to a graduation. They made a conscious decision
00:30:25.300
in order to incentivize Canadians to get vaccinated, to, to do that. It's just remarkable the evidence
00:30:31.880
that's come out. But so, yeah, and this is in the, if somebody is really keen, you can search
00:30:38.100
at the courthouse, you'll get their affidavits. They're part of the public record and you'll be
00:30:41.900
very surprised what's in there. That's incredible. So basically they said at people's worst day in
00:30:46.940
their lives, when they're in panic, when they have hours left to visit with a loved one before they
00:30:52.660
die, when there's a crisis, that's the perfect time to get them, to force them to get jabbed.
00:30:58.740
Although actually it wouldn't even work because you need to have one jab, wait, get two jabs. Like it
00:31:03.780
doesn't even make sense other than as a vendetta, other than as a punishment, uh, which is not
00:31:09.900
connected to the goal of public health, just a political punishment for those who dare to object
00:31:14.580
to Justin through those demands. That's an, that's incredible. So that's a head of policy for
00:31:19.540
Transport Canada. Yes. Ezra, speaking of punishment, you, I had to listen carefully today. Did you notice
00:31:27.380
whose mandate continues of all the sectors, travelers, federal government workers and workers
00:31:36.100
at, um, at airports all had the vaccine mandate lifted? Did you notice the group that got left
00:31:44.580
out? Who was that? Truckers. Oh my God. Well, truckers, you know, the only group that's left. Oh,
00:31:54.980
and I don't know, was there something that happened in Ottawa that might have upset our
00:31:59.700
prime minister. So the only group that has not had their mandate lifted today is truckers. And if,
00:32:08.580
if, you know, of all of those groups of soldiers, of RCMP officers, of government workers think who
00:32:16.100
interacts, you know, who is most at risk of spreading to use their phrase. Yeah. Airline passengers,
00:32:22.900
train passengers of all those groups now throw in truckers, which one of those sits in a cab by
00:32:29.620
themselves for 12 hours a day? Yeah. Other than a lighthouse keeper, I can't think of a more solitary
00:32:36.260
job than a long haul trucker, but this is about revenge. This is about him teaching them a lesson.
00:32:41.860
Speaking of which I understand that you are the lawyer for Tamara Litch. I think we spoke about that
00:32:46.340
last time. She was under, go ahead. I'm the lawyer for Tamara Litch, and to be clear, Tamara and the
00:32:55.540
other leaders of the Freedom Convoy are facing, they've been attacked on multiple sides legally. So
00:33:03.300
I'm through the Justice Center defending those. But with respect to the criminal charges, I helped
00:33:08.260
coordinate it, but we've brought in a very skilled criminal team from Ottawa, criminal, of criminal
00:33:13.460
defense lawyers that are working on that. So I'm dealing with other issues that legal issues,
00:33:19.780
that class action lawsuit that was filed against the Freedom Convoy for $306 million by the class
00:33:27.060
action personal injury lawyer from Ottawa and several other criminal code orders by the Attorney General
00:33:34.980
of Ontario trying to seize money and seize bank accounts and things like that. So I'm dealing hands
00:33:39.940
on with those aspects. So they're still trying to seize money. Does this have to do with the
00:33:44.660
bank account seizures or is this with the GoFundMe, the Give, Send, Go, and the cryptocurrency? Are
00:33:50.340
they still going after private bank accounts? No, they're not going after private bank accounts,
00:33:56.420
but two things. One, the bulk of the work that I've had to do legally has been relating to the crypto and
00:34:01.940
the GoFundMe monies and the Give, Send, Go that didn't get refunded back to the donors. But what
00:34:09.540
my clients are reporting to me and not just Tamara, but others who had their bank accounts frozen,
00:34:15.700
they've now come up to things like they're trying to get some financing to, in one instance,
00:34:21.460
buy another transport truck. And they get denied point blank because there's a big red dot on their
00:34:27.940
file. And I've had a number of instances of that. And we figured out no way to get that red dot off.
00:34:33.860
And it's interesting, you may recall, Ezra, that the head of, or it might have been the legal
00:34:39.620
council. It was senior representative of the Canadian Banking Association, testified before the
00:34:43.460
House of Commons Committee back in April and said that the freeze order, even though lifted against
00:34:52.660
these people's personal bank accounts, it would last with them for life. And we're
00:34:57.700
certainly seeing that the persecution that's occurring to people because they stood up to
00:35:02.740
Trudeau and demanded that their rights and the rule of law be respected is very un-Canadian.
00:35:09.940
I absolutely believe it. I mean, I had a very small experience with that in December when Rebel News
00:35:14.660
went to buy a building in Calgary, a small building. I've been a Royal Bank customer for decades,
00:35:20.820
and they told me on the phone, it's because my politics were wrong. And I,
00:35:24.580
you know, this was even before the truckers. It was just because of my journalism. I can imagine
00:35:30.260
if the Emergency Act was invoked and Trudeau said what he said, no bank would want to cross Trudeau.
00:35:36.980
It's not that they actually think Tamera Litch is a risk. It's that if it became known to Justin Trudeau
00:35:44.180
that a bank gave her a loan, Trudeau would wreak his revenge on that bank. And they just don't want to
00:35:51.860
risk a regulation, a punishment from Trudeau to the bank. I noted this in my monologue. The only CEO
00:35:59.860
in Canada that I saw that was willing to stand up to this mandate until today
00:36:05.540
was the WestJet CEO, who was a foreigner, who only joined WestJet a few months ago,
00:36:13.380
who doesn't understand that in Canada you don't criticize Trudeau. Everyone from Canada sort of
00:36:19.860
said, shh, be careful. You're crazy. Don't do it. It's like this newcomer didn't realize he was
00:36:27.460
going to be crushed. Air Canada didn't chime in. All the other little airlines didn't chime in.
00:36:32.500
They said, oh, my God, that guy's going to get massacred. There was not a domino effect of others
00:36:38.340
saying, I'm Spartacus. No, I'm Spartacus. He was alone. And I don't know if WestJet has been punished,
00:36:45.860
but it wouldn't surprise me if he will be an airline, a bank. They're both highly regulated.
00:36:51.220
I'm worried for WestJet that they'll get punished. Well, I mean, look at the pattern. Look what
00:36:56.260
happened today. The most solitary of all of the sectors who were impacted by the mandates
00:37:03.700
is the truckers. And today the government announced it's lifting the mandates for everybody else
00:37:09.460
but the truckers. I've joked in a very dark gallows humor type way is the next image we're going to
00:37:17.620
have of Trudeau and his ministers around him with those little notepads that you see in North Korea,
00:37:25.220
you know, when the dear leader, because everything he says and they all write it down, dear leader.
00:37:30.580
It's clear that these ministers are there because of their loyalty. If you look at the debacle at the
00:37:36.740
airports, any other government Harper other would have let that minister go. Yeah.
00:37:41.460
And just to be clear, because a lot of people don't know this part of the reason for the
00:37:45.620
bottleneck at the airports is the mandates that the government brought in applied to the to the
00:37:52.260
ground crews, the baggage handlers, the security clearance people, almost 2000, 2000
00:37:59.460
and security clearance people, they call them CATSA workers that do the security, lost their jobs
00:38:07.540
because of the VAX mandate. And today the federal minister transport boasts that they're hiring 600
00:38:14.660
back. Come on. So the reason you're having delays when you land to even pull up to a gate because
00:38:21.220
there's no ground crews, that's directly related result of the federal VAX mandate. The reason you're
00:38:26.660
sitting at the gate and the doors close and you're ready to leave, but you can't because the baggages
00:38:31.940
that bags aren't loaded is again, directly the results. So the bottlenecks at the airport aren't
00:38:37.220
just a result of the can app and the testing and the checking passport for vaccination. It's the fact
00:38:45.220
that the infrastructure has been gutted by this ill-conceived, punitive, vindictive measure by the
00:38:51.380
Trudeau government. Yeah. Well, listen, I've learned so much from you today. I'm very interested in these
00:38:56.340
transcripts. If you're at liberty to share them, if they are in the public domain, I'm very glad to
00:39:02.660
hear you intend on taking this trial to term. I think it's necessary. I certainly wouldn't trust
00:39:09.700
this government. I would like you to step out of your role as lawyer for a minute. And I don't know if
00:39:13.540
you feel comfortable doing this and become political prognosticator. Do you think that in the fall
00:39:22.580
they'll come up with a new variant? It's, you know, it's flu season, whatever cases go up in the,
00:39:28.340
you know, they always go up over Christmas. Do you think they're going to try and bring this back?
00:39:34.020
Does a kid, once they discover their favorite ice cream, want more? Yeah. The bureaucrats
00:39:44.260
and their political masters have tasted power with an intensity and flavor that they've never had before.
00:39:53.940
Um, they have tested us. Look at how long Canada went being the only G seven country
00:40:04.180
to have these types of mandates being the only country in the developed world to have these
00:40:10.580
restrictions on its own citizens in the country of the second largest landmass of the world or
00:40:17.140
dependent on air travel and train travel. Yeah. So no, they've tasted power Ezra. They love it.
00:40:23.300
They're going to hate every day between now and someday in September when they say, oh,
00:40:28.900
there's a new variant or, you know, someone's got the flu. I saw someone with a Kleenex box quick.
00:40:35.380
Let's bring the mandates back. And I think they're going to come back with triple jab. You opened with
00:40:40.740
that. The, I believe it was the health minister came right out and said that the evidence from all
00:40:45.380
the experts coming out in the cross examinations in the Peckford case, it's all clear. It's even right
00:40:49.300
in their government. So for David's, we don't even have to get it out and cross.
00:40:53.540
Is that after six months, the effectiveness of double vaccination against Omicron is Omicron is
00:41:01.540
either zero. The best study says 20%. So we've been playing this charade of politics, um,
00:41:11.460
for months now. And, uh, I think it's almost certain unless there's significant pushback from Canadians,
00:41:19.620
and we're successful in some of our court cases that we're going to be right back, uh, where we were
00:41:25.540
yesterday, uh, again in September. Well, I think you're probably right. The government will do those
00:41:31.380
things again, but will the population accept it again? I'm shocked. I go around the streets of
00:41:38.900
the city and I can't believe how many people who are still wearing masks voluntarily outside in
00:41:44.100
their car by themselves. It's, it's like they loved, um, the comfort of the chains on their, uh,
00:41:50.180
the shackles and the change. So there, I think some people who love, uh, it's like sometimes someone
00:41:55.940
who's been in prison for 20 years, uh, they don't want to leave because they've grown accustomed to the
00:42:01.220
structure, uh, and the authority of a prison. There are some people who love their cell. Um,
00:42:07.860
they will love the return of it. The media will love the return. Pfizer will love the return of it,
00:42:12.420
but Canadians who, you know, normal in the middle of the, you know, bell curve kind of regular folks,
00:42:20.500
do you think they will accept vaccine mandates being brought back in any sphere, including airfare,
00:42:29.060
including if they are now called the unvaccinated, because they only have had two shots. I guess my
00:42:33.620
question is, will Canadians accept it? We know Trudeau wants it. Will Canadians accept it? Well, time will
00:42:40.180
tell. I mean, one of the things that I, I have observed is that, uh, more and more unvaccinated or more
00:42:47.300
and more vaccinated Canadians have aligned with the unvaccinated and said, this is ridiculous.
00:42:54.740
You know, you know, initially we're all sold this bill of goods, that it would be like a normal
00:42:58.980
vaccine as opposed to a preventative treatment. And by taking the vaccine, like when you took the
00:43:04.820
polio vaccine, you wouldn't get polio. When you took, you know, the pneumonia vaccine, you wouldn't
00:43:09.780
get pneumonia. If you took the herpes vaccine or shingles vaccine, you wouldn't get shingles.
00:43:13.860
Um, and we all now realize that's not the case at all. And we all are used to this, you know, oh,
00:43:20.980
I've been diagnosed with, uh, with, uh, COVID, uh, I'm recovering at home. I'm sure glad I'm vaccinated.
00:43:28.340
Well, it didn't stop you from getting it or spreading it. So I think I'm hoping enough Canadians have said,
00:43:36.020
wait a minute, this just doesn't seem right. And we'll be more prepared to, to exercise their voice
00:43:45.620
and say, I don't support this. This is not, you know, think of our national anthem. I've thought
00:43:50.180
about this a lot lately, true north, strong and free true north, strong and free. Yeah.
00:43:56.980
I really hope that Canadians reflect on that and we get back to living that motto and calling out
00:44:04.420
governments when they don't. Yeah. Well, I hope you're right. That's a good note to end on.
00:44:09.460
Keith Wilson, thanks very much for your time. And we're lucky to get you on this busy day. You're
00:44:14.660
wrangling with the government lawyers on the other side. Keep up, uh, the great work. Uh, I look forward to
00:44:20.900
the trial and, uh, hopefully it won't be derailed by this. Wouldn't surprise me that the government
00:44:25.860
tries to throw the case out, but this must be heard. And I think you're the man to do it.
00:44:29.540
Thanks very much for this. Thanks, Ezra. All right. There you have a Keith Wilson lawyer
00:44:34.340
for the truckers and, uh, for this very important case, uh, with Brian Peckford as one of the plaintiffs
00:44:40.420
challenging the flight mandate. Stay with us. Your letters to me, you're next.
00:44:50.900
Hey, welcome back. Your viewer feedback to me. Referring to the polling by Abacus Data,
00:45:01.300
Audentes Fortuna Luvat says the fact that these are the questions posed proves their validity.
00:45:10.340
Yeah. You always have to be careful when you look at questions. Now I am interested in this issue,
00:45:15.300
in who trusts what, and do people know about the World Economic Forum? That's a pretty obscure thing.
00:45:20.740
And if 20% of Canadians know about it, that is sort of impressive. Now maybe people were just
00:45:25.380
saying they knew because no one wants to sound dumb if you're asked a question and haven't heard of it.
00:45:30.340
It also, though, tells me what is in the mind of the Liberal Party. This Abacus Data is a good,
00:45:37.460
uh, I don't know, proxy for what the Brain Trust and Trudeau's campaign is about. Yes,
00:45:41.700
I think there were definitely flaws with the questions. I mean, whether or not the World Economic Forum
00:45:47.460
has a strategy to conquer the world is sort of obvious they do. I think the real question is,
00:45:53.460
are they succeeding? Can they do it? Not do they want to? Of course they want to. They say that.
00:45:59.060
So I think the questions were a little bit flawed, but still, it was useful, I think, to go through it.
00:46:03.460
Steve says, Syria and Libya count as wars, Ezra. Unless we're pulling a Putin and saying bombing
00:46:12.100
campaigns are fundamentally different from war. You're right, Stephen Harper committed a warship
00:46:18.180
and hundreds of military personnel to Libya. That was a disaster that replaced Muammar Gaddafi,
00:46:24.580
who had rather repented for his sins. He paid billions in settlements to his terrorism victims.
00:46:30.260
He had renounced weapons of mass destruction. He had come around to the West's point of view and
00:46:35.540
Hillary Clinton demanded that we join that war and replace him with what, ISIS and open-air slave
00:46:41.780
markets? Just atrocious. I'm not sure if Canada was actually involved in Syria. We were involved in
00:46:47.140
Libya in a small way. I don't think we were involved in Syria, but that place has been a disaster too.
00:46:51.540
DV says, impossible to digest Mendocino's lying words causes the dry heaves.
00:47:02.260
You know what I find in Mark Mendocino, who is in some ways the most powerful
00:47:06.900
person in cabinet, other than the prime minister, when your public safety ministry of access to the
00:47:11.140
police, the spy agencies, things like that, the border. So to have a complete liar with no moral
00:47:17.300
fiber like him is terrifying how opposite he is from Jody Wilson-Raybould. Look at Omar Al Gabbard,
00:47:24.020
just literally would do whatever Trudeau told him to. He's a bit of a fool. I don't think he was
00:47:29.380
involved in today's decisions. If you look through the Trudeau cabinet, you find it's full of people
00:47:35.380
like that. People who only know how to talk or schmooze or politic or campaign, but have no idea
00:47:41.780
how to solve an actual problem. What a difference it makes between Donald Trump, who spent his whole
00:47:48.420
life as a doer, a problem solver, a fixer-upper, who had measurable goals, build the building or not,
00:47:57.060
fix that ice skating rink in Central Park or not. What actually has Omar Al Gabbard done in his life?
00:48:03.300
He led a radical anti-Semitic lobby group called the Canadian Arab Federation. That's what he did before he
00:48:08.580
became an MP, not exactly a constructive group. Most of Trudeau's cabinet has never done anything
00:48:15.140
but politic. They were expressly hired for political reasons, and it shows. He doesn't
00:48:21.620
actually know how to do anything. That's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us
00:48:27.540
here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at home, good night. And keep fighting for freedom. And let me
00:48:31.860
leave you with an interesting video of the day from our New York correspondent, Jeremy Lafredo,
00:48:36.180
a very strange story of the New York Police Department honoring Pfizer while thousands of
00:48:44.740
unvaccinated cops are on the verge of being fired. How did that happen? I'll see you later.
00:48:52.100
Jeremy Lafredo for Rebel News outside of New York City Police Department's annual gala. Unlike past
00:48:56.500
galas, the department won't be honoring fallen officers or detectives for keeping the city safe,
00:49:00.820
but instead they'll be honoring serial felon Pfizer, the pharmaceutical behemoth and manufacturer of the
00:49:06.100
COVID-19 vaccine. CEO Albert Borla will be here to accept the award on behalf of Pfizer for Pfizer's
00:49:11.940
quote, commitment to public safety. For a law enforcement agency, it's especially interesting
00:49:17.620
that the New York City Police are dedicating a whole evening and a once a year event to a corporation that
00:49:22.740
has paid over $10 billion in penalties and is the culprit of the largest healthcare fraud in United
00:49:28.180
States history. This NYPD Pfizer gala marks the third high-end invite-only event for Pfizer CEO
00:49:35.140
Albert Borla this month. Last week, he was at the notoriously secretive Bilderberg meeting inside an
00:49:40.660
officially undisclosed location in Washington DC with the director of the CIA, the chief AI scientist
00:49:46.100
from Facebook and other titans of industry, government, as well as military to discuss the policy agendas of
00:49:51.220
the future. Two weeks ago, Borla was in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum explaining
00:49:55.460
the reason Pfizer has a surplus of COVID vaccines is because there aren't enough quote educated people
00:50:00.260
in the world who believe the vaccine is good. We are now throwing those into the garbage. It's
00:50:05.300
it's sad to say I'm in the process of throwing 30 million doses into the garbage because nobody wants
00:50:10.340
them. We have a big demand problem. We right now have governments we try to contact not only Seth
00:50:17.460
was doing great work with his team trying to get demand into the countries, but also we contacted
00:50:21.860
through the Washington's in the embassies in Washington, every country, and nobody wants to
00:50:27.220
take them. And so the change we have now is it's very different situation than we had two years ago.
00:50:32.340
The problem we had two years ago is there was no mRNA capacity in the world. Zero. The situation is
00:50:37.620
very different today. Moderna has three billion dose of annual capacity. Pfizer has four billion doses at
00:50:42.500
seven billion dose and the Chinese don't want the vaccines of mRNA. Now Borla is here being honored
00:50:47.780
by the foundation of the biggest police force in the world. But many thousands of NYPD detectives
00:50:53.140
and officers aren't receiving a reciprocal honor from Pfizer. 5,000 NYPD officers are on the verge of
00:50:59.540
being fired for not submitting to Pfizer's vaccine. Notoriously foundations are an avenue for public
00:51:05.060
organizations like police departments or public health agencies to receive money and therefore influence
00:51:10.100
from the private sector. There are three price points for gala tickets ranging from fifteen thousand
00:51:14.740
to a hundred thousand dollars. Officially, for a hundred thousand dollars, a gala attendee could
00:51:19.540
get a private discussion with NYPD leadership. For the early evening gala, the security presence
00:51:24.740
seemed paranoid and over the top. Militarized security vehicles, city officers draped in paramilitary vests,
00:51:30.580
helmets, and assault rifles, seemingly expecting New Yorkers to be unhappy with their public funds being used
00:51:35.620
to give an award to Pfizer. Hours before the event, a security officer in a suit confronted the first
00:51:41.060
and only protester to arrive and asked him how many protesters the police should expect.
00:51:45.300
How many people are coming? I don't know. I don't know. I hope, I hope like, you know,
00:51:49.780
two, three million. But it's not going to happen right now. So it's just me right now.
00:51:53.380
Okay, good enough. All right. So you guys stay right here? If that's okay. Yeah. Because anything behind you,
00:51:58.900
like, it's your private property? As the event began, more protesters showed up,
00:52:02.980
booing attendees of the gala. Many of them were critical of NYPD leadership, giving Pfizer an award
00:52:07.940
while hardworking officers' jobs were threatened for not taking the jab. Protesters dressed as the
00:52:12.660
Pfizer vaccine and some as the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams. In a theatrical display,
00:52:17.540
the Pfizer vaccine character put loads of fake money into the mayor's pockets.
00:52:21.620
People dressed as sheep and followed around the fake mayor. The mayor explained that the sheep
00:52:25.380
signify his New York supporters who don't dare criticize his COVID policies.
00:52:29.460
We have the mayor here, and the mayor is being followed by sheep. Can you explain what the sheep
00:52:37.060
are? These are my unthinking followers. These are the people who do whatever I say. When I say get
00:52:44.420
vaxxed, they get vaxxed. When I say get boosted, they get boosted. And when I say let the celebrities do
00:52:49.860
whatever they want without the mandates, they say, okay, that's fine with me as long as I can go to the
00:52:54.260
game. So basically, these are my sheep. Yeah. This supporter argued that the city's law enforcement
00:53:00.500
agency giving an award to an organization that has repeatedly broke the wall is, quote, disgusting.
00:53:05.540
It's absolutely disgusting. I don't know why anybody would honor Pfizer pharmaceutical.
00:53:10.980
They are convicted felons. I mean, that's what the records show, right? They've been,
00:53:15.060
they've been penalized for criminal stuff, like lying to the FDA and misleading the public.
00:53:21.620
This is not an organization that we should be honoring, especially the NYPD.
00:53:24.900
It's private. They're not letting any, from what I understand, they're not letting any press in
00:53:29.140
there. That is totally disgusting. Nobody should be honoring these people.
00:53:33.860
At the end of the evening, Tracy Morgan, famous actor and New Yorker,
00:53:37.220
was spotted by protesters leaving the NYPD Pfizer Gala and walking to his illegally parked Ferrari.
00:53:42.820
They yelled at him, accusing him of being a, quote, sellout. With Pfizer being awarded by the NYPD
00:53:47.460
Foundation, it doesn't seem promising that unvaccinated officers will be left alone anytime
00:53:51.540
soon. Recently, it has been reported that the city judge presiding over the city mandate case
00:53:55.860
owns Pfizer stock, which has led some New Yorkers to call for the judge to recuse herself due to
00:54:00.420
conflicts of interest. And days later, she did just that. Judge Valerie Caproni exited the NYC vaccine
00:54:06.180
mandate case. This isn't the first time she has come under fire for less than ethical behavior.
00:54:10.980
As the general counsel to the FBI, she was accused by the House Judiciary Committee
00:54:15.300
of providing legal advice that was inconsistent with federal law, which aided intelligence agencies
00:54:19.860
in the illegal surveillance of innocent Americans. For Rebel News from New York City, Jeremy Lofredo.
