Summary

A lone bureaucrat at Canadian Heritage is telling the government that allowing biological males to play in women's minor sport is dangerous and unfair. And we're also catching up with Katie Davis-Court, a post-millennials journalist who is working alongside our team in the Dutch farmer uprising against climate change targets in the Netherlands.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Oh, hey, Rebels. I bet you were expecting to hear Ezra Levant's voice right here, but
00:00:04.040 it's not him. It's me, Sheila Gunn-Reed. I'm filling in for the big boss in the
00:00:07.840 big chair tonight. Tonight, we are talking about how there are still good people remaining at one
00:00:14.700 of the craziest, most authoritarian ministries in all of the Canadian government. We're talking
00:00:22.220 about a lone bureaucrat truth teller at Canadian Heritage. That's the censorship ministry. But
00:00:29.420 Canadian Heritage also oversees Sports Canada, and that's the ministry or agency that encourages
00:00:36.680 and develops minor sport in Canada. And one lone unidentified bureaucrat there produced a briefing
00:00:46.800 note telling the government that allowing biological males to play in female minor sports is dangerous
00:00:57.040 and unfair. That person's probably in a re-education camp right now. We're discussing that, and we are
00:01:03.320 also catching up with Katie Davis-Court. She's the post-millennial journalist who is working
00:01:08.020 alongside our Louis Brackpool and Lincoln Jay as they cover the Dutch farmer uprising against
00:01:15.260 climate change targets in Holland. Now, I'm sure you like listening to the show, but one of the best

00:02:07.920 Tonight, the liberals were told that allowing biological males to compete against women in
00:02:13.220 sports would indeed harm women. And the feminist liberals, well, they obviously ignored that
00:02:18.040 advice. Then post-millennials Katie Davis-Court joins us from the Netherlands to update us on her
00:02:23.660 work alongside our team there. It's July 13th, 2022. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching
00:02:30.120 The Ezra Levant Show.
00:02:34.560 Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:02:43.220 You know, I might be cheering for public sector bureaucrats here. I know it's weird. I'll explain
00:02:51.020 it all in a second. But first, will you indulge me just a couple of minutes here? I want to show
00:02:55.740 you maybe 30 seconds of one clip and then 30 seconds of another. It's actually probably even
00:03:00.600 less than 30 seconds of each. But what I'm going to show you will show the stark contrast between male
00:03:05.640 and female athletes playing the exact same sport. And I chose this sport because it's an extreme contact
00:03:11.520 sport with no equipment. And I know a little bit about it. It's rugby. So let me set this up.
00:03:16.820 The Black Ferns are the New Zealand national women's rugby team. The All Blacks, that's the men's rugby
00:03:23.620 team. They are, in my opinion, and just my opinion, the two best teams in the world. Extraordinary in
00:03:29.620 their own right. But that's the point. In their own right. The women are strong. These women are
00:03:35.340 powerful. And boy, are they ever fast. For women. Okay, so here are the Ferns in gameplay. Watch this.
00:03:42.420 Goodness me. What an injection from her. And there she goes. Aisha Lettinger. Herder's won.
00:03:50.760 Heading for the line. Taken down by Corrigan. Great defence.
00:03:54.640 Hey, Lovren.
00:03:56.860 Big shot on Dumont. But she still manages to get the pass. And here's Tui again.
00:04:01.760 Ruby Tui. Down the outside. Stepping back into Goody. Finishes her off.
00:04:06.700 From Arahiana Marima Tauhinu. And they're away again. Here's Amy Dupassi. Down the sideline.
00:04:14.180 Has Ruby Tui. Tui steps inside. Ruby Tui now race for the line. And Tui will win it. And Tui gets a double.
00:04:24.100 They're amazing, right? Now here are their male counterparts. The All Blacks in gameplay. Look at this.
00:04:31.080 Okay. Nice group from Banks. Freed it away to Calloway. Ball knocked on. Here's Trouble. Here's Jordan.
00:04:39.120 Can't find anybody. Pops it up in the end for Havili. Havili. He'll go all the way.
00:04:47.280 Ho-ho.
00:04:48.440 Good start too for the new front row. They skirt it away to Webber. And space out wide. McKenzie.
00:04:55.740 McKenzie. And Jordan goes in. Takes it off the back. Makes some good ground too.
00:05:01.780 Rushing through the tackle. A little nugget getting a nice ball away to Christie.
00:05:06.000 Black at us there in support. Pops a lovely ball away to Jordan Barrett. McKenzie.
00:05:10.980 He's going in for a bunch of fives. Jordan.
00:05:15.940 The difference is astounding. And that's not discrediting or devaluing the accomplishments
00:05:21.780 of those women. They are the best in their sport in the entire world. But they are biologically
00:05:27.140 different than men. It's clear they have not gone through testosterone puberty. Their hearts and
00:05:32.780 their lungs. They're just smaller. Their bones are less dense. They don't have the same ability to
00:05:38.340 gain and maintain lean muscle mass. They aren't as big or strong or as fast. It's reality. And it
00:05:44.740 doesn't take away anything from what they can do when on a level playing field. And that's important
00:05:50.340 here. Imagine if one of those all Blacks was suddenly now playing on a ladies team against
00:05:54.680 the ferns. Dangerous, right? And more importantly, it's gaslighting. We can see we're not blind.
00:06:00.900 And feelings? They don't undo science and biology. And it's astounding to me that some bureaucrat
00:06:06.580 within Canadian Heritage, which takes care of the portfolio of Sports Canada, felt the same way as me.
00:06:14.080 Bureaucrats within the Trudeau government tried to warn about the unfairness of biological males
00:06:20.320 competing against biological females in sports. I know. I'm shocked too. Let me show you. It's from
00:06:27.080 Black Locks today. And it's going to blow your mind. It's a good reminder that sometimes I am highly
00:06:33.120 critical of bureaucrats in government because they're supposed to be nonpartisan. But often
00:06:37.460 they're just an extension of the Liberal Party of Canada that we all pay for. And then some of these
00:06:43.080 people take their jobs very seriously. And when they are to give advice to the government, they give
00:06:47.700 advice. Real advice. Good advice. The advice made perfect sense, which is why you know the liberals
00:06:54.760 absolutely completely disregarded it. Anyway, from the great team at Black Locks just this morning,
00:07:01.260 and I don't want to give away too much of the article because it sits behind a paywall and that's how
00:07:06.860 they pay the bills over at Black Locks. It sounds like they obtained this through access to information
00:07:12.440 because when I went looking for this on the proactive disclosures website of the government
00:07:17.700 of Canada, I can't find the briefing note they mentioned here. So I filed for it myself this
00:07:22.780 afternoon. When we get it, you better believe I'm going to publish it. Anyway, here's what Black Locks
00:07:28.080 reports this morning. Transgender men have an unfair advantage in women's competition, says a briefing
00:07:34.520 note by the federal department that funds amateur sport. The Department of Canadian Heritage
00:07:39.540 has sidestepped public comment on allowing biological men to compete as women. The most current peer
00:07:47.420 reviewed science demonstrates significant male advantage in sport amplified through and after
00:07:53.460 puberty and that testosterone suppression in trans women does not mitigate the legacy effects of male
00:07:59.060 puberty, said the January 19th briefing note, gender equity and transgender inclusion in sport. Public
00:08:05.680 opinion research suggests a majority of Canadians believe sport organizations should find new ways
00:08:11.520 to include transgender identifying athletes that preserve fairness and physical safety for all,
00:08:16.900 it added. There is a growing debate in sport primarily focused on women's elite categories where
00:08:23.420 there are safety and fairness concerns regarding the inclusion of trans women who are physiologically
00:08:29.420 stronger, said the briefing note. However, trans men are both subject to anti-doping regulations in the
00:08:35.320 female category and biological disadvantage in the men's. Wow. Now, none of this is to say that trans
00:08:41.680 people should not participate in sports. I love minor sports. I think a lot of people do regardless of how
00:08:47.500 they choose to live their lives. But there has to be a better, more sportsmanlike way forward and we will
00:08:53.900 never come up with that better way. If we keep suggesting that we must deny biological reality in
00:09:00.180 the name of tolerance, we could, should and must find a way to sort this all out for all parties,
00:09:05.500 right? We put a man on the moon. Surely we can sort this one thing out. And please don't send me
00:09:09.960 emails about the moon landing being a soundstage, folks. I'm just using an expression here. Now,
00:09:14.640 I've got to tell you, this one lone common sense bureaucrat writing this briefing note probably
00:09:19.420 risked his or her career to say the right thing, to speak truth to power. He or she had to have known
00:09:25.080 the mob would come for them from within their own ministry. They're probably getting an HR re-education
00:09:31.160 right now. I mean, just look at what happened when bureaucrats at Sports Canada tried to reach out to
00:09:36.880 the common sense side of this onerous and I think unnecessarily complicated transgenderism in sports
00:09:43.380 debate when preparing a report. Because that's normally what you do, right? You try to look at all the
00:09:49.000 evidence before you make a decision, but that's apparently not allowed on this one issue. Take a
00:09:54.600 look at this. Sports Canada survey has been pulled after drawing a strong rebuke from over 200 athletes
00:10:02.120 and researchers. Canadian high-performance athletes received a survey that asked for their opinion on
00:10:07.480 the inclusion of trans women, biological males, in female categories as part of a research project
00:10:13.360 funded by the Canadian government. According to an outreach email seen by Extra, the survey was
00:10:19.520 commissioned by independent researcher Catherine Devine on behalf of Sport Canada, a part of the
00:10:25.320 Canadian government's Department of Canadian Heritage, which works to develop all levels of sports
00:10:30.580 in the country and to broaden everyone's ability to access sport. The email stated that the data from
00:10:36.440 the survey may one day appear in an academic journal. This survey investigates the views of Canadian
00:10:43.660 high-performance female athletes regarding both the International Olympic Committee framework and the
00:10:49.900 Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport guidance for the inclusion of trans women, biological males in
00:10:56.060 female categories. The email read, female athletes are stakeholders in this area of policy and yet their views
00:11:02.860 are rarely heard. Please be assured that all responses are anonymous. Then the bullies came. Look at this.
00:11:09.040 In response to the survey, LGBTQ2S sports advocacy group Athlete Ally published the open letter from over
00:11:15.960 200 Canadian high-performance athletes and scholars pushing back on the survey for its quote transphobic
00:11:22.540 language. The term biological male features in many anti-trans bills around the world that seek to limit the
00:11:28.400 participation of mostly trans women in sports all the way down to the grassroots level. Opponents of
00:11:34.380 trans participation in sports based on their gender identity usually contend that trans women retain
00:11:40.620 athletic advantages if they medically transitioned after puberty. So here's to the people fighting for
00:11:47.800 the truth, fairness and for our daughters inside of Sport Canada. We see you. We're grateful and thanks for
00:11:53.660 putting it all on the line for our girls. After the break, we're joined by Katie Davis-Kort, the post-millennial
00:11:59.640 journalist working with our Dutch farmer protest team. Stay with us.
00:12:15.220 Right now in the Netherlands, farmers are rising up against climate change targets. Really, these things come
00:12:22.160 from the world economic forum and actually, unfortunately, Canada through a treaty just ratified by the Dutch
00:12:28.100 parliament. It's called CEDA. And what it does is it codifies the liberals in Canada, their gender
00:12:34.880 nonsense and the Paris agreements, climate change targets into our trade agreements with the European
00:12:42.780 Union, meaning that all parties have agreed to this non-binding, however, they'll do it anyways, agreement
00:12:49.180 where they have to put their specific industries and sectors through this lens, this climate change lens,
00:12:57.320 before those exports can head into world markets. And part of that are the nitrogen targets that are
00:13:06.640 potentially being imposed on Dutch farmers that could cause them to quit farming certain parts of
00:13:14.560 their land and even cull up to 30. And I've even seen the number as high as 40% of their livestock.
00:13:20.920 Now, we've got a team of journalists in Holland right now. We've got Louis Brackpool, who is our UK
00:13:26.740 reporter, and Lincoln Jay. Lincoln is an expert on blue collar uprisings and convoys. You know his work
00:13:33.700 from the Convoy for Freedom to Ottawa. And Louis, you know him as the World Economic Forum expert
00:13:38.940 around here. And we had to call in somebody else because I think we needed an American perspective
00:13:43.420 on this. And so we called in Katie Davis-Kort. She works with the Post Millennial, and she joins me
00:13:49.560 now from a field somewhere in Holland. Hey, Katie, how's it going? Good. Thanks for having me on, Sheila. I'm
00:13:57.120 excited to be here. Yeah, you know what? You might be a new face to some of our viewers. So why don't
00:14:02.780 you tell us a little bit about yourself and sort of the topics you focus on in your journalism?
00:14:09.340 Right. So I am from the United States. I live in the state of Washington, specifically the city of
00:14:14.580 Seattle. And I started independent reporting in 2018 when I realized that my city only had one
00:14:22.840 perspective. And our news, our local news was not telling the truth. And it was only telling the
00:14:28.560 Democratic side. They refused to cover stories. So I started going out on the field and I started doing
00:14:33.080 my own independent work. I grew a platform. And then in 2020, the George Floyd riots hit. I started
00:14:40.260 reporting from the field on Black Lives Matter. Antifa is when you guys might remember Antifa
00:14:48.440 sieged a six block radius in Seattle and created something called a Capitol Hill autonomous zone.
00:14:55.700 And so I went in undercover and I reported on that for the month that I was there. And I really grew my
00:15:01.720 platform for there. And then I remained independent. And then after January 6th, they were purging
00:15:08.640 everybody from their platforms, all conservative news reporters. So then I was very lucky that the
00:15:14.200 Post Millennial, it is another conservative news site, picked me up as a reporter. And I've been with
00:15:18.480 them ever since. And I predominantly focus on conservative politics and Antifa and crime.
00:15:25.220 from where I live. You know, I think that's really interesting that you are from Seattle,
00:15:30.700 because as a Canadian, when I think of all the terrible climate change ideas and people who
00:15:34.900 don't understand where their food and their energy comes from, there are two places that I think of
00:15:39.180 San Francisco, because it seems to be an incubator of all these large environmental charities with
00:15:45.080 their tentacles reaching into Canada and Seattle, where a bunch of granola people on bikes have no
00:15:52.060 clue how their iPhones get charged. So I think, right, you, you might be the perfect person for
00:15:58.240 this job in Holland.
00:16:00.420 Yeah, absolutely. So that's really funny that you mentioned that because my governor,
00:16:04.800 his name is Jay Inslee, and he is the lead climate change guy in the United States. And he is actually
00:16:11.580 trying, everything going on right now is by design. He is actively trying to get rid of our dams.
00:16:18.060 And our Grand Coulee Dam actually produces the most electric, it produces all the electricity
00:16:24.220 for the entire West Coast. And he's trying to get rid of our dams to disrupt our electrical grid.
00:16:30.520 And he's running for office. And he just sent a new donation, like campaign sheet to his supporters
00:16:38.820 that said, we are in for a summer of death, destruction and darkness because of the electrical
00:16:44.920 grids will be disrupted. But it's by the by design, he wants to get everybody onto solar energy,
00:16:50.580 he wants to disrupt everything. And yeah, the Washington State and like you said, San Francisco
00:16:57.860 really at ground zero in the United States. But it's funny that you say, say that because
00:17:02.580 speaking with these Dutch farmers, they have been asking me also what it's like in the in
00:17:08.420 the US because this is a global issue. This is on an international scale. And I said, something
00:17:14.200 that is different from the United States is we do have a federal government, but our states
00:17:19.020 are really, but our states are run individually by our elected government for the states. So you
00:17:25.900 get Republicans, they are not for climate change. You live in a democratic state, they're for climate
00:17:30.680 change. So I don't know if we will see exactly what we are experiencing here in Holland right now with
00:17:37.680 the national citizen uprising, rising against climate change, because we do have production
00:17:43.720 protections by states. But it's coming and it's coming to every everywhere, it seems like.
00:17:49.000 Yeah, it's you're you're very lucky in the United States where you do have the Constitution that
00:17:54.900 restrains your federal government from doing these sorts of things. But for Canadians, we can really
00:17:59.720 relate to what the Dutch are going through, because I live in an allegedly conservative province. And yet
00:18:05.900 we have our federal government imposing climate change targets on us through carbon taxes that keep
00:18:11.400 rising and emissions targets. And so as Canadians, we see what's happening in Holland. And we say,
00:18:18.200 you know, how long till it's here, our prime minister is not one to be out virtue signaled
00:18:23.400 by any other leader in the world, especially someone like Mark Ruta, he'll say, Oh, yeah,
00:18:29.340 me too. And then some. And so it's very worrying for Canadian farmers, like myself in particular.
00:18:35.740 Now, I wanted to ask you, you've been talking to a lot of the farmers, what is the one thing,
00:18:41.640 the one big takeaway that you are getting from these farmers? What's the one thing they want the
00:18:47.480 world to know? They want the world to know what's going on. They were so thankful that we are here to
00:18:54.220 share their story. You know, these farmers, they are losing their livelihoods, they are losing
00:18:59.700 their farms that they have had for generations up to hundreds of years. But most importantly,
00:19:05.860 they wanted to spread caution, they wanted the world to know what's happening in the Netherlands,
00:19:11.800 because it's just a matter of time before it happens to everywhere in the world. So through
00:19:18.540 the World Economic Forum, that's really where everything's coming from. Now, you've been working
00:19:24.320 with our team there. And our team has noticed that there are Canadian flags turning up in these
00:19:31.040 protests. And I think it's great because, you know, when you see the freedom protests in Cuba or
00:19:35.560 Venezuela or Hong Kong a couple of years ago, you would see the American flags as the symbol of
00:19:41.180 that sort of uprising and liberty around the world. But we're seeing the Canadian ones turn up in
00:19:47.220 Holland. And I think that's great. Yeah, absolutely. And you know, that just goes to show how well you
00:19:53.180 guys did with that trucker convoy. I think that was a beacon of hope around the world for to give
00:19:59.900 the green light for other people to start standing up to tyranny standing up to areas that are
00:20:06.700 potentially going to be under dictatorships. And I've seen Canadian flags I in your right, I have not
00:20:12.900 seen American flags. And what the Dutch are doing is they are flipping the Dutch flag upside down, and
00:20:19.520 they are tying a red bandana to the top of it, which symbolizes solidarity with the farmers. So
00:20:27.200 you don't just see that in one area, you see that all across the Netherlands, I have yet to go to a
00:20:33.360 place that hasn't had an upside down flag, a bandana. And there's polls that came out that said
00:20:40.320 roughly 85% support the farmers uprising against the government. And we in our team, we went into
00:20:48.240 Amsterdam to try to find a different perspective, because after speaking with the farmers that they
00:20:52.800 said that they think that the city people are out of touch. And yes, usually, bad policy does come
00:20:58.560 from cities. But after speaking to people inside the city, they were for the farmers. So that 85%
00:21:07.280 is seems to be accurate so far. And it just goes to show that the Dutch government is out of touch with
00:21:14.160 the people. And there's a different agenda going on. Yeah, you guys found I think one crazy lady
00:21:19.920 who had zero empathy for her fellow citizens who said, you know, so if they've got to lose their land,
00:21:26.400 so what? Okay, but when her you know, her avocado is a gazillion dollars in the grocery store,
00:21:31.840 she's going to get mugged by reality. And I think it's also interesting that I'm sure Americans think of
00:21:37.920 Canada as this progressive place. And yet the people are not necessarily as progressive as our
00:21:43.520 government. And I've always thought that way about the Dutch, I always thought they were really
00:21:47.760 progressive and cosmopolitan. And their prime minister was like Trudeau 2.0. And but the people
00:21:56.560 are very different than their government. I think this is a good reminder to us that, you know,
00:22:00.080 while the government does things, the people often think a completely different way.
00:22:04.160 Yeah, absolutely. I noticed that too. These Dutch, the Dutch actually love freedom. They were talking
00:22:13.680 to me and that they, and they were so upset that I explained to them that the United States is really
00:22:18.880 not in a good place right now. We are really the symbol of freedom across the world. And we're losing
00:22:24.960 that. So to see the Dutch fight back against the government, when the United States won't,
00:22:30.240 it was very eye opening to me. And it made it made me realize that the people in the United States
00:22:36.640 are really out of touch with the rest of the world. And we actually do have that rap
00:22:42.480 in other countries. So rings true.
00:22:46.560 Yeah, it does. Now, I wanted to ask you a couple more questions, and one of them just escaped my mind.
00:22:53.360 Um, when are you headed back? Tomorrow. You've been on a whirlwind of a trip, like you guys have
00:23:02.240 been, I know, because I call you guys and wake you up very early in the morning, early in the
00:23:07.200 morning for me to just tell us what your day looks like when you're out there, like what? So people
00:23:12.560 can really understand just how hard you're working to tell the other side of the story.
00:23:16.320 Right. So I think I'm on two hours of sleep right now. I think the night before I got three. So we
00:23:22.640 are working constantly. And these protests, they are not in one central location, they're scattered
00:23:29.040 throughout the entire country. So we wake up about 630. We're in the car, we drive to our destination,
00:23:38.320 we are communicating with I'm calling them a handler, but it's a another Dutch journalist who's amazing,
00:23:45.040 who pals around with us and translate is our translator, because a lot of these people don't
00:23:50.960 speak English. So that makes it hard in itself to get interviews with farmers that are actually able
00:23:56.880 to speak to us. So we wake up, we go to a location, we figure out what's going on. If there is going to
00:24:03.920 be a convoy, if there's going to be a demonstration somewhere, if there's going to be a blockade, or if
00:24:10.080 we're going to the Hague for a protest, we do multiple demonstrations a day, because it's not
00:24:16.960 very organized right now. Every group has their own leader. But from what we have heard is that
00:24:24.320 they will be convening together at some point. It's just not set in stone. So it's still kind of
00:24:29.760 a waiting game. But I'll tell you this, the farmers, they are not letting up anytime soon. Everyone I've
00:24:34.400 spoke to has said that they're in this fight until they win. And they have said they have called for
00:24:40.720 war. They have said that I've asked them what kind of other demonstrations that they have done before
00:24:46.080 we made it to the ground. And one guy said, we even do guerrilla warfare in the darkness is what
00:24:52.800 he said, whatever that means. So the they're in it, in it to the end, because these are their livelihoods.
00:25:00.160 And when you mess with farmers, you mess with the entire country. Yeah, you leave a man with nothing
00:25:05.920 left to lose. And don't be surprised when he acts like he has nothing left to lose. Now, I've also
00:25:12.160 noticed this is the one thing I wanted to ask you about. Maybe it's different there. But on the outside,
00:25:17.040 looking in the usual libels against normal people who protest their moral and intellectual superiors in
00:25:25.440 the government, that's not being levied, those things, they aren't being levied at the Dutch.
00:25:30.800 For example, it's pretty tough to call the Dutch neo Nazis, considering what the Nazis actually did
00:25:37.120 to the Dutch, you know, those things that they they call protesters to discredit them. You saw this with
00:25:42.720 the truckers convoy, they were white supremacist radicals, according to Justin Trudeau. But some of
00:25:47.360 those criticisms don't really stick to the Dutch, given their history. What is it like that on the ground?
00:25:54.000 Because I'm not seeing those things that are normally tossed at, you know, like your January 6th
00:25:58.160 protester, your trucker convoy. You're right. I'm not I'm not seeing those things being levied at the
00:26:02.560 Dutch. I'm not seeing that anywhere. And that just goes to show that the farmers have the support from
00:26:08.880 the everyday citizens of the Netherlands. Now, Katie, I should let you go. As I said, off the top of the
00:26:16.560 show, you're standing in a field along the side of the road in Holland. And as you said, you're operating on
00:26:22.080 no sleep. I just want to thank you on behalf of the Rebel News team and our viewers for the
00:26:27.520 incredible work that you've done in Holland to tell the other side of the story. I think the world
00:26:32.880 was really relying on the team there to bring them the news because you just can't trust the mainstream
00:26:39.120 media. Absolutely. And the Dutch have said that, too. So mainstream media here is not on their side.
00:26:45.280 So that's why independent journalism is the most important thing.
00:26:49.600 The Dutch farmer seal of approval. Now, folks at home, if you'd like to see
00:26:53.760 more of Katie's work and the rest of the team, Lewis and Lincoln, you can go to farmerrebellion.com.
00:26:58.800 And if you feel inclined to pitch in to cover the cost of their independent journalism,
00:27:03.680 their boots on the ground journalism in Holland, you can do that at that same website,
00:27:07.920 farmerrebellion.com. Thanks so much, Katie. Get some rest.
00:27:11.520 Yes. Yes. Thank you. Talk to you later. Thanks. Stay with us. Your letters to,
00:27:17.440 well, I guess Ezra, but I'll be reading them up next after the break.
00:27:32.640 Well, this is the portion of the show where Ezra reads your viewer feedback. He used to joke and say
00:27:37.040 that it was the hate mail section of the show. But really, we don't get a lot of that. And
00:27:41.280 unlike the mainstream media, we do welcome your feedback. You know, the mainstream media,
00:27:44.880 they're all happy to take your money in the form of a bailout, but boy, they don't want to
00:27:49.200 hear your opinion of them or the bailout for that matter. But we welcome your feedback and well,
00:27:56.000 also your money too. So if you want to send both to us, that's great. Our first letter comes from
00:28:01.760 Jan H.B. Hugo, who says, Canada should give the turbines back. Why punish Germany? Does not look like
00:28:08.000 Ukraine gives a reason if Germany suffers. Just think out loud. Now, this is in relation to the
00:28:14.080 Canadian government blocking and then returning some natural gas turbines for the production of
00:28:21.280 electricity to Germany. And those were seized as part of the sanctions on Russian energy. Now,
00:28:32.640 this is all very complicated because it is true. German citizens will suffer without these turbines.
00:28:39.440 But at the same time, there's a broader lesson here. And I don't think the powers that be are
00:28:45.440 learning it. And that is that North America must develop a robust natural gas sector through the
00:28:56.880 embrace of fracking. They must liquefy that natural gas and send it to Germany. Because whatever you
00:29:03.520 feel about Russia or the invasion of Ukraine, it was all made possible by the Russian war machine,
00:29:11.520 which is funded through its stranglehold on natural gas in Europe. All of Europe relies on
00:29:20.240 Russia for natural gas and Germany in particular. Okay, let's keep going. We've got one from Spots.
00:29:28.400 It's a fun name. Why is there a shortage of medical health professionals across Canada? I'm retired,
00:29:35.600 but if I were still working, I would consider a career move. Public service should not require one
00:29:42.320 to forfeit personal rights. You know, so many people in medicine were either fired because of
00:29:51.280 their vaccination status. And many of them had already gotten COVID at the beginning of the pandemic
00:29:58.320 and recovered and thus were naturally immune with a better, more robust immunity than anything any
00:30:05.280 vaccine could give you. But they were thrown out of their jobs because they objected to providing
00:30:11.680 their vaccination status affirmatively or otherwise to their employers. And not only do I think this is
00:30:19.600 a problem causing a shortage of qualified medical health professionals in Canada, people who were either
00:30:25.200 fired or just decided that I don't want to work in a system that would do this to me, but I think it's
00:30:34.160 going to cause a problem across all of our public institutions in policing, in government,
00:30:42.080 in the military, in medicine, in academia, even in the bureaucracy. And I'm so often critical of
00:30:49.440 bureaucrats as you know from my monologue, but all the people that would normally be shuffled into a
00:30:57.680 position of management because when their ethics are tested, they did the hard thing because it was right
00:31:07.680 and not the easy thing. Those people, instead of being in positions of management, they're being
00:31:12.720 shown the door. And so what does that mean for the future of our public institutions when the people
00:31:19.360 who were willing to go along to get along are the people in charge? I'm not hopeful. Well, everybody,
00:31:26.960 that's the show for tonight. Thank you so much as always for tuning in. Thanks to everybody in the
00:31:31.680 studio in Toronto who took all these video files and turned them into an actual show. We'll see
00:31:38.080 everybody, well, I guess, I think my friend David Menzies is hosting the show tomorrow. Thanks for
00:31:43.360 bearing with me. And as the big boss man always says, keep fighting for freedom.
00:31:48.960 This is Juan Mendoza reporting for Rebel News. So with the recent iCloud leak that looks at Hunter
00:31:53.840 Biden and all the actions he's been doing there with his family. So on Sunday, a programmer who
00:31:58.960 worked with Max, he posted a live stream video outlining his intention of dropping Biden's,
00:32:04.560 Hunter Biden's entire hard drive online, along with clues for users to break into the iPhone and
00:32:10.160 iPad backups. He put it on 4chan, which is some sort of website that's basically not very
00:32:15.600 moderated. And it's kind of the website of last resort for people who want to get information
00:32:20.560 out there but can't because everything is so completely censored at this point.
00:32:24.400 So even on 4chan, the moderators quickly took these links down. But internet users are already
00:32:28.800 seeding the contents of the backups on torrent sites. Bottom line, this is going to live online
00:32:34.560 forever. It's not going away. We're here in Miami to talk with the people to see what their thoughts
00:32:39.920 are about the Biden family. So there's like an iCloud leak that came out recently through 4chan. And
00:32:45.280 like another laptop leak that came out a few years ago, seeing how Hunter Biden was doing lots of
00:32:51.840 like illegal activity, like looking at, he was like measuring crack cocaine. And like he was engaging
00:32:58.400 in sex with prostitutes. And like he has his dad put on his phone as pedo Peter. So what are your
00:33:05.600 thoughts about the Biden family? Um, well, that doesn't seem good. Like that's not, um, yeah,
00:33:18.000 that's not okay. That is something that shouldn't be happening. People need their like, um, what's it
00:33:25.360 called? Like their stuff hidden, like they need their privacy. And that's not okay to be leaking that
00:33:32.000 information. I think they suck. I'm sorry. I Biden doesn't know what he's talking about. And
00:33:39.600 his son is a crook. I've heard about controversy with Hunter Biden, but not much about that. I don't
00:33:45.680 know. I can't give out any details. Okay. I've never heard that much about him at all. So no, no
00:33:51.840 details about it. Wow. I think they're pretty weird. I mean, I kind of had a little bit of more respect for
00:33:58.480 Biden after what he did with Roe v. Wade, but like now it's just after hearing that it's
00:34:05.680 weird, man. Um, I honestly don't get into politics a lot. I do not care. I mean,
00:34:11.520 you can't really change it even if you want to. So I just try to stay out of it.
00:34:16.960 Wow. I did not know that. That's crazy. I mean, I'm not really much into politics,
00:34:22.240 but that's, that's insane. That's really, that's out of pocket. I don't know what to say to that,
00:34:27.920 honestly. I saw, I looked through the leaks cause it's public now. There's some very concerning
00:34:32.480 things like child pornography on it, on Hunter Biden's leaks, which I mean, it should be looked
00:34:38.160 into, but thoroughly, I believe that the most of the reasons people are looking into the families
00:34:42.960 cause you know, president and it's more political. But in this case, I feel people should be looking into
00:34:47.920 it cause there's like very concerning things along with what they found.
00:34:52.320 The Biden family, I feel like, um, they're lacking a lot of, um, connectivity like between
00:34:59.040 themselves and they're lacking a lot of respect and education as a whole. Um, I just, I don't really,
00:35:05.760 um, believe in like their family. I feel like it's just a fake picture that they put out there.
00:35:11.360 Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Biden. However, he did just release like a press talk about
00:35:17.360 not supporting the whole turnover of road versus wave that kind of made me support him a little
00:35:22.800 bit, but personally, like Biden's not my favorite person. So I'm not a big fan.
00:35:28.320 You think he's like, like personally, like his family's more like, uh, like not really
00:35:32.560 good people, but you support more like his politics rather than like his,
00:35:36.000 I don't really support his politics a lot, but I think he has some good ideas if he can actually act
00:35:41.040 on them, but that hasn't really been shown. Personally wise, like how his family is,
00:35:45.920 I don't know much about him, but I do not really like him in office. Yeah, but that's my opinion.
00:35:51.840 Um, I think that this whole thing is shady and someone needs to like, you know, get in,
00:35:57.600 get into what they're going, um, and like figure out what's happening. I mean, that's pretty much it.
00:36:03.920 I honestly don't get into politics because I don't prefer any other side than the other. I think that Biden is
00:36:12.000 the same thing as Trump, the same thing as any other person. I think that if it's nothing fixed, if it's no
00:36:18.880 evidence that it can be firmly confirmed, I'm not going to use that to say that Biden is this and this.
00:36:25.360 is this. The thing is also that that was found on 4chan. 4chan is recognized for a place where extremists
00:36:32.640 put their things and then they talk about things that are not comparable or true. But at the same time,
00:36:39.520 I'm not saying that it's not possible. I mean, his son of his had a problem with drugs,
00:36:44.160 right? But I don't have any opinion with him.
00:36:47.600 Wait.
00:36:48.480 Is this one real?
00:36:52.480 Is that real?
00:36:53.040 Apparently so.
00:36:55.360 Okay.
00:36:58.320 I'm like trying to, like, what?
00:37:01.760 I don't necessarily have a huge thought on them. Um, I know there's a lot of hate towards them,
00:37:09.120 just from the opposing point of view. But personally, I, I know he's our president and that's basically it.
00:37:15.440 That's all I know.
00:37:17.520 Yeah, I don't follow them, but I have heard some things, but I'll never know if they're true.
00:37:23.280 I just, I don't know.
00:37:24.640 I think the most I know is, um, that like in the, he was, uh, came back from the war and he was like,
00:37:30.400 not in a, unhonorable or not honorable, whatever, something like that. I don't remember,
00:37:34.480 but that's all I know about them.
00:37:35.840 I mean, I didn't know that this was going to happen, but I don't think that's right.
00:37:40.400 That doesn't sound good.
00:37:42.400 But I've never heard of it until now. I didn't know.
00:37:45.760 I don't feel like his family defines him as a person and his decisions that like what he,
00:37:52.880 you know, like the way he controls this country, I don't think it has to do with his son or whatever.
00:37:56.720 Like each person is, each is their own, you know what I mean? But I also like,
00:38:00.960 I don't agree 100% with Biden. I think there's a lot of things that are wrong with the way he's
00:38:05.120 leading this country. You know, I feel like he's a puppet. I feel like he's not making the
00:38:09.440 decisions on his own. Like, you know, someone is, he's not, he's not like the best leader.
00:38:15.920 You know, I don't see him like a very, you know, like a good leader. So even though I'm like,
00:38:22.160 you know, I wouldn't, I'm democratic, you know, I want someone, I'm more, I'm like a leftist,
00:38:27.200 but I don't really like how Biden has been running everything. So, but I, I don't care whatsoever.
00:38:33.200 Like all this gossip about his family and whatever, I don't think that defines who he is or that has to
00:38:38.480 do with anything. Like it's, to me, I feel like it's unnecessary. No, not really. I can't say
00:38:43.760 I've really kept up too much with that. I'm not too aware of the situation, so I can't really speak
00:38:48.160 on it that much, but that sounds pretty crazy. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. I didn't know anything
00:38:52.480 about that. Yeah, same reaction. It's just like insane. Yeah, we didn't know about that. He sounds
00:38:59.280 like my type of guy. Do you feel like the Biden administration, they're like representing the
00:39:03.200 people in the country, uh, pretty well, or? Um, can I put no comment? Um, no thoughts. No opinions,
00:39:12.800 no, nothing. Some maybe, definitely not all. Me personally, there's good and bad. I wouldn't
00:39:20.000 say I'm a supporter, but there's a few things they've done that I liked. Some people didn't
00:39:25.600 like Biden, even if they were Democrats and others had no clue.
