As Margaret Thatcher said, folks, the problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money.
00:00:20.000
Now, in looking at this, though, I was like, what the hell is 2S?
00:00:27.000
Because I actually talk crap about this stuff almost for a living at this point.
00:00:42.000
I mean, no, for people who don't believe in God,
00:00:46.000
it seems like a stretch, but they have no religion.
00:00:55.000
It's insanity. It's the Marxism that they're pushing.
00:00:58.000
And so, it aims at advancing the rights and equality of 2-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex,
00:01:06.000
and additional sexually and gender diverse 2SLBG guy people in Canada.
00:01:12.000
Hey guys, probably not the best use of our funds.
00:01:15.000
In America, we're graduating children where literally there are entire districts where no one can read or do English.
00:01:32.000
We'll put them on a government program and they'll be reliable liberal voters for life.
00:01:41.000
You're going to have an election coming up soon.
00:01:46.000
So they can ride with Trump and try to use him as the cruddle?
00:01:49.000
Or do you think that's actually helpful at this point?
00:01:51.000
Because people are finally awake to the insanity that is going on right now.
00:02:00.000
Because I think right now it may actually help us.
00:02:03.000
Because the amount of people that would never have voted Republican or would have never been Trump that are coming up to me be like,
00:02:15.000
And I don't mean, you know, I don't mean crowds like this.
00:02:20.000
Like when they run up to me, I'm like, oh boy, am I going to get my ass kicked right now.
00:02:26.000
You know, I see the disparity of treatment even there.
00:02:31.000
I was talking with Chris Pawlowski as we were talking about this event.
00:02:35.000
And he was like, you know, they called us the other day, a day or two ago.
00:02:39.000
They were going to basically extort you for $50,000 because we had to bring in toilets for the protestors.
00:02:48.000
Now I saw no protestors, which actually kind of disappoints me because I feel like I'm losing my touch.
00:02:53.000
I'm like, you know, in America, I get people that really hate me to show up and it's kind of fun.
00:03:03.000
By the way, you guys aren't doing your best either because I saw them write free Palestine,
00:03:08.000
but they misspelled it at one of the universities right here.
00:03:14.000
Hey, you know, notice they spelt free correctly though.
00:03:18.000
Because they're really, they, you know, if it's free, it's for me, for these people.
00:03:23.000
I mean, they, they, you know, free they got right.
00:03:26.000
If you cared that much about Palestine, you're like, I don't know.
00:03:31.000
Doesn't seem like it's too much to ask you to spell it correctly.
00:03:44.000
The idea obviously was not to promote free speech or alternate viewpoints.
00:03:49.000
The idea was to make it too costly and penal to actually put on the event.
00:03:53.000
Because I noticed that the truckers who were also peacefully protesting,
00:03:57.000
who were incredible patriots both here and in the United States.
00:04:28.000
I noticed, I noticed that the truckers were not afforded the same luxury of having the
00:04:45.000
I know they were threatened with their livelihoods and their jobs.
00:04:49.000
And yet, if you're protesting a peaceful event under the guise of, you know, Marxism,
00:04:57.000
Lestism, Trudeauism, which may be further left than all of that, they're going to make
00:05:19.000
And let everyone else know I said it, because the media will never do it.
00:05:23.000
But no, whether it was there, whether it was the trucker convoy in America down by the border,
00:05:27.000
I mean, it feels like the truckers are actually leading the charge of patriotism and freedom in our countries.
00:05:34.000
And then, as of last week, apparently it's also, like, frat boys in, like, pastel shorts,
00:05:38.000
which I did not have on my bingo card, to be clear.
00:05:42.000
But, like, I'll take it, because they're the ones saving the American flag from being taken down by radicals.
00:05:50.000
Not people who support, perhaps, the peaceful existence of the Palestinian people,
00:05:55.000
but people who are actively encouraging and egging on Hamas, a terror organization.
00:06:08.000
Guess what, if I get thrown in jail for calling Hamas a terror organization in Canada,
00:06:12.000
guess what, I promise, please make me a martyr.
00:06:19.000
And in all fairness, I have a feeling whatever jail I end up in Canada,
00:06:26.000
the people will be so much nicer than they would be in America.
00:06:28.000
Oh, it's about time you're here, Don. It's a — I'm just kidding.
00:06:36.000
But with that, folks, I think I want to bring up the entire panel.
00:06:44.000
I also think we all understand how far we have fallen.
00:06:46.000
But it's time that we all start having these conversations.
00:06:51.000
I try to do it with humor. Everyone's going to have a different way.
00:06:56.000
But I think people have to understand just how fragile it is.
00:06:59.000
When you look at what's going on in the world, when you look at what they've done,
00:07:02.000
when you look at the places, again, as I opened up with, that we looked at —
00:07:08.000
When you look at what's happening, understand that it does not get better from here.
00:07:14.000
You know, just because, like, if they can do it to a Trump, right,
00:07:19.000
someone who has a following, who has the means to fight back,
00:07:27.000
and if they can do it to someone like that, who won't they do it to?
00:07:33.000
doesn't it send the message that they're going after anyone who will stand in their way?
00:07:37.000
So we need to collectively make sure that people are awake to exactly what's going on,
00:07:41.000
that we can combat this insanity before the incredible things that our countries were founded on,
00:07:46.000
the freedoms that we've enjoyed for so long, that we fought for,
00:07:50.000
blood, sweat, and tears through generations, before that disappears,
00:07:56.000
And they're not even pretending about it anymore.
00:07:58.000
So, thank you so much, Toronto. It's great to be here.
00:08:24.000
Well, we have less than an hour left, but we've got the whole panel on the stage.
00:08:30.000
You've already met everyone except for the keystone of today's event,
00:08:37.000
We would not be here today because, as Don Jr. said,
00:08:40.000
there was a $50,000 extortion by the government landlord,
00:08:45.000
the Crown Corporation called Canada Lands Company,
00:08:50.000
And were it not for the resources of rumble.com,
00:08:53.000
we would have been cancelled by the government.
00:08:57.000
That's an example of a dedication to freedom of speech that you rarely see.
00:09:03.000
Without further ado, let me turn the mic over to our host in so many ways,
00:09:07.000
including the host of so many freedom-oriented live streams,
00:09:18.000
First off, this wouldn't have been possible without Rebel helping us out
00:09:45.000
And to the Rumble staff, I don't know if you guys know,
00:09:49.420
but we put this event together in about two and a half weeks.
00:09:56.040
These bills that are coming out of Canada are of, like,
00:10:01.840
And me being a Canadian born and raised in Toronto
00:10:05.260
and watching how things have changed since I was in the...
00:10:09.840
I remember being in the playground in elementary school
00:10:16.320
we can say whatever we want to where we are right now
00:10:21.640
And I thought it was, like, incredibly important
00:10:27.200
to talk about how important and how much of a human right
00:10:34.640
And I want to thank the guests that have come from Brazil,
00:10:41.780
And then also Don and Kim from Florida as well.
00:11:02.900
I got a call from Kim, like, a couple days ago,
00:11:06.440
and she was like, Chris, Don's in surgery right now.
00:11:27.380
That's some real toughness, like, to be coming all the way over here
00:11:37.360
and, you know, raise our voices about how important
00:11:51.560
and understanding kind of the genesis of what has happened in Canada
00:11:55.780
and how we've gotten from a society that we all agreed unanimously
00:12:11.260
You don't have anything without freedom of expression.
00:12:13.740
It is, like, the cornerstone to a democratic and free society.
00:12:28.060
I never thought in my lifetime it would be something
00:12:30.240
I'd be fighting for the way I'm fighting for it right now.
00:12:39.320
and watched this happen from a legal standpoint.
00:12:47.560
Like, Canadians, we've always prided ourselves off being polite
00:12:50.560
and, to some extent, subservient, but not in an insulting way.
00:12:54.760
And what I've realized is being polite and subservient,
00:12:56.840
it's good for neighbours, but it's not good for government.
00:13:03.940
I said I've got to write that down and get it out.
00:13:07.720
We like being loving and we like being tolerant.
00:13:17.940
that many of us didn't have to fight and die for.
00:13:55.520
let them think that they're providing security for us.
