LeBron James is a Muslim-American, and he's upset about China's treatment of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang province. And he just won't shut up about it. And Xi Jinping hates it, and I love it.
00:01:51.700If you see an American flag on someone's private home in the United States, or even just someone wearing a U.S. flag lapel pin, I think we can all guess which party they're with, am I right?
00:02:01.940I mean, take it from Barack Obama himself, who officially stopped wearing the American flag pin and made a public statement about it.
00:02:09.380It's one thing to not positively fly the flag, but it's another thing to protest when someone else does fly it.
00:02:16.620The whole idea of taking a knee was a way of defying the national anthem, of disparaging it, protesting it, of a passive-aggressive war against anyone in the stands or anyone watching at home on TV who feels patriotic.
00:02:29.280It was the teams versus their own fans.
00:02:32.080It was stupid, but it was about politics, and it was about dislodging Trump.
00:03:09.740It was clearly a psy-op of some sort, a psychological operation to demoralize people.
00:03:15.400And the leader of it was one of the luckiest, most privileged millionaires in America, a half-white, half-black man raised by a white family named Colin Kaepernick.
00:03:25.940And I tell you his race and his family background to show you how his own life and success was the result of racial harmony, not racial division, of meritocracy and unity, not division and antagonism.
00:03:40.240But what a sullen, spoiled brat he has become, because he wasn't quite as good at football as he thought.
00:03:46.800He wasn't getting the success he thought he deserved.
00:03:49.020So this would more than make up for it.
00:03:52.040Normally, endorsement deals come to the best athletes.
00:04:10.300We had to listen to the millionaires tell us how unjust the system was.
00:04:14.800But it was a bit odd, because while they never ran out of disparaging things to say about America, they sure seemed quiet about the NBA's new home.
00:04:24.660I'm moving from the NFL to the NBA here, the basketball league.
00:06:47.400I'm here to add my voice and speak out about what is happening in Tibet.
00:06:51.520Under the Chinese government's brutal rule, Tibetan people's basic rights and freedoms are non-existent.
00:06:59.780They are not allowed to study and learn their language and culture freely.
00:07:04.400They are not allowed to travel freely.
00:07:06.900They are not allowed to access information freely.
00:07:10.000For more than 70 years, Tibetan monks, nuns, intellectuals, writers, poets, community leaders, activists, and many more have been detained, sent to political re-education classes, subject to torture, lengthy interrogations, and even been executed simply for exercising the freedom that you and I take for granted.
00:07:39.100There have been more than 5,000 political prisoners in Tibet in Tibet in the last 25 years.
00:07:47.160Did you know that simply owning a photo of the Dalai Lama in Tibet is grounds for arrest?
00:07:55.040Even flying the Tibetan national flag could get you arrested.
00:07:59.580I say, shame on the Chinese government.
00:08:02.540The Chinese dictatorship is erasing Tibetan identity and culture.
00:08:07.320The cultural genocide in Tibet is so stifling that more than 150 Tibetan people have burned themselves alive, hoping that such a horrific act of sacrifice will raise awareness and attention towards the ongoing abuses within Tibet.
00:08:27.380After learning all of this, I cannot stay silent.
00:08:31.380I stand with my Tibetan brothers and sisters, and I support their calls for freedom.
00:08:37.880The communist ideology of China has been around for only about 100 years, but Buddhist, civilization, ideology, and philosophy has been around for thousands of years.
00:08:52.260Only the Tibetan people should decide the future of Tibet, 100%.
00:08:57.060Tibet belongs to the Tibetan people, and I hope and believe Tibet will achieve independence.
00:09:04.840Brutal dictator of China, Xi Jinping, I have a message for you and your henchmen.
00:09:11.180I will say it again, again, and again, loud and clear.
00:17:42.920Well, other than living in a communist country, everything else is okay, as whether it is living under tyranny in an authoritarian government
00:17:55.100is not conducive to my understanding and expectations of what a free country is.
00:18:03.500So, but I would, but otherwise everything's good, but I would just also add, it's not just Ontario.
00:18:09.960We saw elected members in the Nova Scotia caucus getting kicked out.
00:18:15.060We saw elected members in the UCP caucus in Alberta also getting kicked out for speaking out against lockdownism.
00:18:24.000This is indicative of our electoral system and the dysfunctional state of our democracy without question everywhere across the country.
00:18:57.480One thing that I note in Ontario, I mentioned some names of your colleagues as MPPs, and there was another deputy speaker, I believe, who was thrown out because, yeah,
00:19:07.620because he didn't say the right things on vaccines.
00:19:09.900It seems to me like there's a critical mass in Ontario, but you guys are not getting together, are you?
00:19:16.340I mean, there's what, four or five MPPs.
00:19:18.400I'm not saying that's big enough to make a party, although I suppose it could be.
00:19:22.560You would immediately have more seats than Maxime Bernier does federally.
00:19:25.820Are you guys ever going to get it together, put aside whatever differences there are, and focus on the commonalities?
00:19:33.300Listen, there's been lots of discussions going on for a long time.
00:19:36.580But as of yet, we haven't found the promised land, and we haven't found that common ground, even though this is far greater than any one individual's political career or political aspirations.
00:19:57.220You know, we ought to recognize that this is the future or lack of future for our children and grandchildren.
00:20:06.240And it's, you know, yes, it's the disaffected members who have been kicked out of caucus.
00:20:15.520But let's also not forget that there's still a great number of members in the caucus who are opposed to this lockdownism, to this authoritarian measures.
00:20:27.620But they continue to support Doug Ford and his government in Ontario.
00:20:33.140So there are more discussions going on.
00:20:36.100Hopefully, we can get our act together soon and offer up to the people of Ontario a viable alternative to lockdownism in Ontario.
00:21:02.280And I think you have been an important voice for liberty, for property rights, for common sense, for well predating the lockdown.
00:21:11.260But here's my observation, as someone who's been following Canadian politics for a few decades, is that independence, running as an independent, is an extremely hard thing to win.
00:21:23.840I mean, unless you have a unique story and you were wronged, like, for example, when John Nunziata was thrown out for opposing the GST.
00:21:33.680Or there was an MLA, I think it was the one you mentioned, in Nova Scotia, who stood on a local issue.
00:21:39.560Andre Arthur, who stood for free speech in Quebec.
00:21:42.180But you can almost count on one hand's fingers the number of people who have won as independence.
00:21:48.840It's just not how Canadians think when they go to vote.
00:21:51.880So I think the four or five of you, Bolina Karajalios, yourself, Roman Baber, Rick Nichols, who, you know, I don't know if others will join.
00:22:04.000I think you're all going to get wiped out as independents, no matter how good you are, if you don't, you know, put some water in your wine and pull it together.
00:23:45.740Well, I would ask you questions, but I know you probably wouldn't answer them publicly.
00:23:51.160I would ask you when the last time is you spoke to Roman Baber?
00:23:53.680When the last time you spoke to Belinda Karahelios?
00:23:56.180I know her husband, Jim, you know, has a vision of a party called the New Blue Party.
00:24:02.020And I think Roman Baber presents himself a leader, too.
00:24:04.900Listen, I've talked to all those within the last few weeks, and some much sooner than that.
00:24:10.000You know, like the conversations are happening, Ezra, you know, and like you and like many people in Ontario, we'd like to see a viable political option.
00:24:25.600Like, we have to understand that this is a political crisis.
00:24:33.280This is a cultural war that is under, that is in play rate at the moment.
00:24:38.760This is a war against individual freedoms, individual responsibilities, a war against our families.
00:24:46.440And we need to wake up and realize that this is not just some other political issue.
00:24:52.220This is an actual war that if we do not stand up, if we do not find a way to fight back effectively, there will be no more freedom in our country.
00:25:04.600Things are going to get much worse if we don't reassert that we're free people in a free country.
00:25:11.960And, you know, that's the way I see it.
00:25:15.420And I worked extensively with the PPC to win some seats in the federal election.
00:25:24.480And you know this to be true, as well.
00:25:27.160You know, I'll work with lots of different people.
00:25:29.780I'll work with anybody on ending these lockdowns, ending this attack on our freedoms, ending this political crisis.
00:25:41.080But, you know, it's lonely on the dance floor when you're only by yourself.
00:25:48.360And we need to get a few more people on the dance floor, recognizing that this is not just a time for political theatrics.
00:26:32.540I want to talk about one more thing before we go.
00:26:34.360I see you were tweeting an image of different young people who died so suddenly.
00:26:40.380And young people generally don't die suddenly unless there's some shocking thing that happens.
00:26:45.900Often, unfortunately, it's suicide or a car accident or some other act of violence.
00:26:51.380But for a health crisis, like not a self-inflicted wound and not an accident, for young people to die, even especially athletes.
00:26:59.000For example, there was a recent case of a University of Ottawa star football player who died.
00:27:04.780You know, he was in the prime of health, probably one of the fittest people in the country.
00:27:08.220And all these young people in a forced vaccine setting, often having to be vaccinated to go to university, all these young people dying so suddenly.
00:27:16.960Now, it could be other things could be a coincidence.
00:27:19.640I know this in terms of counting COVID deaths.
00:27:28.500If you test it positive for COVID within 28 days of your death, they call that a COVID death no matter what you actually inspired from.
00:27:35.300But in terms of vaccine injuries, it seems to have the opposite approach.
00:27:41.060They won't count it unless they can absolutely say for sure it was a vaccine.
00:27:47.160And I tell you, there's never been so much myocarditis or pericarditis amongst young people ever.
00:27:52.300I show this graph here from Public Health Ontario that shows the young men are 50 times more likely to get that vaccine injury than are adults in their 80s who the vaccine is designed to protect.
00:28:08.160I find it an upside down morality where old people are being sacrificed.
00:28:19.460Do you have any thoughts on that, Randy?
00:28:20.860Yeah, so listen, we know that there has been a rash and a surge of these unexplained sudden deaths in young people in our province and in our country.
00:28:33.200We've seen other countries, the Nordic countries and Iceland, have recognized this as well and have suspended or halted altogether some of these pharmaceutical injections in their countries because of this rash of fatalities.
00:28:50.100And permanent, irreparable damage to one's heart with pericarditis and myocarditis.
00:29:00.620We also know that the coroner, under the Coroner's Act of Ontario, the coroner has got a responsibility and an obligation and he or she can investigate any sudden or unexplained death.
00:29:16.800But throughout all this, the coroner has failed to investigate any of these sudden unexplained deaths in our youth, in the youth of Ontario.
00:29:28.260Today, I have issued a letter to OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrick outlining all these concerns and citing this significant rise of death in young people.
00:29:48.240And I've asked the commissioner to look at the commissioner to look at the evidence that I've provided and initiate, it certainly appears to me on its face, Ezra, that there are grounds for criminal investigation into these rash of unexplained deaths in our youth.
00:30:07.520So that I have sent that letter to the vitriol and the animosity that was on display.
00:30:17.160When I first put that post out about 11 people that I collected information off the internet that seemed to be suspicious that they had all been vaccinated recently and either they died.
00:30:31.900One young man was 14, another 17-year-old, a number of university students, some musicians, who have either died or are now suffering permanent paralysis and nonverbal in some cases as well.
00:30:52.020This is an outrage, an absolute outrage that, and I don't know, you know, I can't say for certain, and that's what my post said was, you know, I'm not certain what is causing this.
00:31:07.020But it seems and it appears that there may be a correlation or a contributing factor.
00:31:13.280And it is the duty and the obligation of all of us, especially the coroner and our police services, that if people are dying suddenly and prematurely, and if it may be a result of a public policy, then we better damn well investigate it and protect the youth and not sacrifice them in the fashion that it appears that we're doing.
00:31:41.420Well, I don't know that much about Doug Ford's OPP, but the little I do know suggests that it is just as political as Trudeau's RCMP.
00:31:52.080So I'm not sure if you'll have any luck with them.
00:32:03.380But I understand the political interactions between the OPP and Doug Ford as well.
00:32:11.420And the political interactions between our coroner's office and these things are these institutions must be arm's length.
00:32:18.720But I've also sent that request out to every other chief of police in the province of Ontario who isn't quite as beholden to Doug Ford and the current government.
00:33:29.940Enough with the parasitic establishment sucking the life out of the West.
00:33:34.600Well, you know, as Richard Feynman says, science is the belief in the fallibility of the experts, the belief that the experts can get it wrong.
00:33:42.960Science is a process of always challenging the hypothesis and doing tests and seeing if you can improve and find your way to the truth slowly but surely.
00:33:53.360Science is not superstition and it's not religion.
00:39:11.420And I think not only standing up for teachers, but standing up for those students as well.
00:39:15.060The mask was enough for me as an educator last year.
00:39:18.100And for some reason, this year, and the sanitizing, and the washing of our hands, you know, extra frequently.
00:39:24.420And this year, none of that is good enough.
00:39:26.100Yeah, and you're in an environment with children.
00:39:29.540We know from the statistics that children dying from COVID-19, it's almost unheard of.
00:39:34.920Why would there be this thinking that a school with young people in it is the same as, say, a long-term care facility with elderly people that might have additional medical issues?
00:39:49.600That's where the lion's share of the COVID-19 deaths are occurring in Canada, more than 80%.
00:39:55.500So I'm trying to understand the science behind this decision, Judy.
00:40:01.200I think that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of teachers and other federal employees, you know, across the province having that same question and being left in silence again, where no one's able to answer that.
00:40:12.860You know, again, you know, where are the facts and are we actually looking at the facts?
00:40:17.360Are we looking at the science and understanding how does that impact?
00:40:20.580The biggest one is the students, right?
00:40:22.700How do we, where do we see that, you know, again, progressing forward?
00:40:28.140And if not, we're doing more harm than help for these communities.
00:40:31.040You know, you raise a good point there.
00:40:33.780The students in the last year and a half, have you noticed any changes in behavior since all these masking and social distancing mandates have come to be?
00:40:48.980So number one is the inability to hear, right?
00:40:51.760We're unable to hear because of, you know, students enunciating or pronouncing words, especially at the elementary or, I guess, secondary level as well.
00:41:37.380And I think that that is what is not shared with the public is are these students that are wearing these masks, are they wearing it effectively?
00:41:55.760You know, all last year I worked on a combination of special needs and in classroom.
00:42:01.780And I look at that and I say, for those students that I've worked with in the past, especially nonverbal students, putting a mask on students, especially, you know,
00:42:12.280putting a mask on a student actually hinders that best way of communication, right?
00:42:20.240So we've actually limited their development.
00:42:22.920We've actually put, you know, a stop to their development in so many respects because you've put a mask on them.
00:42:28.880How are they able to learn, be comfortable, be in a safe space?
00:42:34.540Now, the thing is, Judy, you, of course, are represented by a union.
00:42:39.960When you went to your union and you talked about this, call it what you will, coercion, constructive dismissal, being held to an ultimatum that you could not acquiesce to,
00:43:19.160I returned to the union again and I said, you know, can somebody please provide me information on ethylene oxide?
00:43:24.820You know, you're not a medical practitioner.
00:43:26.600You've already shared my privacy information at that point.
00:43:31.060And now you have a non-medical practitioner providing these teachers with kits, but you have no liability and you also have no information on the health risks associated with that.
00:44:17.360And I know, again, there's comfort in knowing that I'm not alone and not just in the education sector, but in so many other sectors.
00:44:23.060If we pay for the union to support us and to at least provide us with information when we are seeking it and to be left with, again, silence or a lack of support.
00:44:34.020In some cases, I know that teachers were told to seek their own lawyer.
00:44:55.300And Judy, when it comes to your colleagues, how many are in a similar boat?
00:45:04.340I know you don't have an exact number, but if you were to guesstimate the percentage in terms of those who care not to reveal their vaccination status and, like yourself, don't want to get tested twice a week, how many are in the same predicament as you?
00:45:21.500Okay. Without speaking directly to my colleagues, to be respectful of them, I want to say I know for a fact there are hundreds, if not thousands, across Ontario that I have connected with just to find support and know that I'm not alone in how do we move forward as a collective unit.
00:45:43.120And at the same time, I know that the fear mongering continues and I don't even know if fear is the right word anymore because it's assault at this point.
00:45:53.860When you take away someone's livelihood because we were told to or because that was the only option, that's no longer fear.
00:46:25.520On November 15th, if he doesn't get the jabs, he's out of a job and he's not getting the jabs.
00:46:30.460I guess, how do you respond, Judy, to those on the other side, the pro-vaccine side that, well, I think there's some demonization going on.
00:46:42.340They're saying, listen, get the jabs, be transparent about your information.
00:47:23.680They want to have that freedom of choice.
00:47:25.940Maybe in a couple of years when there's more studies done.
00:47:29.280So to respond to those individuals is let's not create further division and instead let's find a common path where we can all stand unified together.
00:47:39.580I know many people that have chosen to obtain this injection and yet still stand alongside so many other federal employees saying you still have a right to choice.
00:47:53.180So just because you chose this injection, that's fine and I respect you and I don't treat you any less, but that shouldn't be reciprocated just the same.
00:48:01.480And you know, Judy, you raise a profound point, I think, and that is for decades we've seen the feminist movement, at least when it comes to abortion, say the chestnut, my body, my choice.
00:48:12.740Has that evaporated in this day and age of COVID-19 or does my body, my choice only apply to terminating the life of a baby?
00:48:22.840I think that, you know, when you state that there are conditions that now we have placed on that, right?
00:49:18.780So there's, again, a level, and I say this wholeheartedly, as a Catholic, in a Catholic school board, there's a level of hypocrisy there.
00:49:25.620And I think that's where, again, I've said it before, where do we draw the line?
00:49:30.340Where do we say, you know what, it's not about the paycheck.
00:49:33.560If we are teaching anything to our students about justice, love, respect, essence of Catholic education, we have to continue to preach that.
00:49:45.640And, you know, you raise another great point, too.
00:49:48.040You know, reasonable accommodation, we're supposed to be accommodating to whatever minority concern there is.
00:49:55.420But, again, something that has gone into hibernation during COVID-19.
00:50:00.400But I've got to tell you, Judy, my heart breaks when I read so many of these stories because it's literally get the jabs or lose your jobs.
00:50:08.760And at the end of the day, you can take a principled stance, but especially if you're supporting a family, you've got to put, you know, the bread on the table, so to speak.
00:50:19.500People are being put into a hellacious choice here, I think, you know, you know, maintain their privacy regarding their vaccination status or lose a job and fall on hard times.
00:50:33.200I think, you know, I've mentioned this before, you know, you ask yourself, where do you tap out, so to speak?
00:50:41.960And I think that in these situations and in these circumstances, when things are done unlawfully, we have to ask ourselves, what do we stand for, right?
00:50:52.400And for myself, it's a matter of the house, the home, the apartment, it means nothing, right?
00:50:58.340If I am not alive and well and being able to be with family, what is the reason for life?
00:51:04.540So I think, you know, I encourage every single person getting that ultimatum to really think of where do we place our values?
00:51:11.840It's not in the cars, it's not in the homes, it's not in the materialistic things.
00:51:16.280It's about where we stand in our freedoms, our freedom to continue to live a fruitful life.
00:51:22.020And I say that because everybody, no, not everybody, many, many, many hundreds, thousands of people are being pushed against the wall and not given a choice.
00:51:31.720But I encourage that to step, those ones, to step outside of your comfort zone.
00:51:56.880We will, you know, many living paycheck to paycheck, many probably dipping into savings, many, you know, maybe selling homes, selling cars.
00:52:05.120That's okay when we continue to stand unified.
00:52:09.280That for me is, you know, again, if I'm looking back at my values as a Catholic, that's what we are teaching our students.
00:52:14.720It's not about the materialistic things.
00:52:18.580Our lives have been uncomfortable for the past two years, you know.
00:52:21.720So we've already, we know that we are resilient.
00:52:24.580We know that we are adapting to these pressuring changes.
00:52:28.380Let's continue with that resilience to get back out, to get back up and swimming.
00:52:33.240And, Judy, when it comes to your own personal story moving forward, I don't see the governments changing their minds on these vaccine mandates.
00:52:43.680I don't see the school board doing a 180.
00:52:46.800Your union, as they say in Alabama, this dog don't hunt when it comes to this issue in protecting their members.
00:53:23.160I think it's evil and evil to the core.
00:53:26.700But again, you know, looking back at my own values and in my heart, I think that this is going to be another uncomfortable space and uncomfortable time until our voices are heard.
00:53:38.260And, yeah, so it's a matter of how do we move forward.
00:53:41.980And it's going to be uncomfortable, whether it's finding a new career path.
00:53:44.820I know now there's so many jobs online.
00:53:57.780But it's what do we do with those challenges that are presented?
00:54:00.600You know, how do we lift ourselves and lift those around us in community with others in unison?
00:54:06.920And that, for me, is my drive and will continue to be my drive.
00:54:10.420You know, if I, whatever sacrifices we need to make as a community, I am willing to make for freedom and for our voices and for equality, the same things that we preach to our students.
00:54:23.380And yet, as adults in our communities, we are failing to live up to.
00:54:27.300So, Judy, it might be a matter of you're going to have to reinvent yourself, go into a different career, which I think is a shame.
00:54:33.980You went to teacher's college, obviously.
00:54:55.300And I think that there is comfort in knowing that I'm just not alone.
00:54:58.640When I reach out and I know that there is hundreds, in some sectors, thousands of other teachers, again, in other sectors, police officers, firefighters, nurses, doctors that are on the same page.
00:55:11.280So, I think that there is comfort in knowing that I'm not alone.
00:55:14.200The battle does feel alone in so many respects.
00:55:16.580When it's you up against, you know, whoever gave you the medical kit was, you know, in that situation.
00:55:23.140But again, it's, yes, you're absolutely right, reinventing the wheel.
00:55:26.100But I think that as teachers, this is what we went to university for, right?
00:55:33.960So, any challenge you're given, there's, you know, even your principal, your VP, whoever, there's never going to be, oh, no, we've exhausted.
00:55:46.240So, I feel for me, you know, again, you've got to go back to what did, you know, even when I look back at my teacher's license, the entire college of teachers, what do we represent?
