Summary

A man heckles Chrystia Freeland outside of a city hall in Alberta. She calls him a "traitor" and he calls her a "f***ing traitor." Should he be arrested for swearing at her?


Transcript

00:00:00.360 Hello, my friends. I want to show you that video of a noisy blowhard accosting Chrystia Freeland,
00:00:05.980 swearing at her a bit. I don't support him. I don't think he did the right thing.
00:00:10.220 But does he really belong in prison? More to the point, could you really call what he did violence?
00:00:14.680 And should we really do what the CBC says and arrest people who are, quote, bad?
00:00:21.040 I'll show you what the left wing thinks. That's ahead. But first, I want to invite you to become
00:00:24.360 a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast. Just go to

00:00:41.800 Just go to rebelnewsplus.com. All right, here's today's show.
00:00:58.160 Tonight, should police arrest people for swearing, for peacefully protesting outside of Paul
00:01:05.100 's house, for being a bad person? Well, the political class gives a unanimous yes to all
00:01:10.860 that. It's August 31st, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:15.300 Shame on you, you censorious thug.
00:01:20.940 A lot of terrible things are happening in Canada right now, economically, of course.
00:01:34.340 If you want moral scandals, well, the Liberal Party was caught giving hundreds of thousands
00:01:39.800 of dollars to a virulent racist, a bigoted anti-Semite, and you're not even going to believe
00:01:45.560 this for him to give anti-racism lectures. Just shocking. So much so that even Liberal MPs could
00:01:53.880 no longer hold their tongue. The Jews of the Liberal Party, there's not many of them left,
00:01:58.440 felt that they were not being heard, and they actually took to Twitter. Here's a tweet from
00:02:02.000 Anthony Housefather saying he was just shocked by how his party condoned paying money to anti-Semites.
00:02:09.260 Former MPs, here's one named Michael Levitt, saying he's so disappointed in this party,
00:02:15.580 why only the Jews were speaking out and no one else. I thought it was very interesting that these
00:02:21.880 very loyal liberals just were shocked by Trudeau. I'm no longer shocked by him. So there's a lot of
00:02:28.680 stories regarding the government, but when that happens, look for the government to try and
00:02:34.060 switch the subject. If it's inflation or the, you know, cost of housing or taxes or carbon taxes or
00:02:41.560 price of gas or a scandal, that's when the liberals tell us to look at something else to take the air
00:02:48.540 out of the balloon of the story they don't want to hear. They want to change the channel.
00:02:52.460 And here's the channel they changed to. This is a video filmed by someone going out on a stunt on his
00:02:59.740 own. Now, I'm not going to just show you the short cell phone video. I'm going to show you about a
00:03:04.940 two-minute clip from a TV station called CHCH. I want to show you their report. So in this report,
00:03:11.780 you're going to see a lot of things. One of them is a guy recording himself heckling Chrystia Freeland.
00:03:20.020 So this cell phone footage is not from Chrystia Freeland, not from a reporter. It's from the guy and his
00:03:24.720 friend who said, we're going to find Chrystia Freeland and yell at her. And then the CHCH TV
00:03:32.360 station treats it as a news story. Take a look. The incident happened on Friday when Deputy Prime
00:03:38.300 Minister Chrystia Freeland was visiting the city hall in Grand Prairie, Alberta. A man called her name.
00:03:44.920 Chrystia, what the f*** are you doing in Alberta? You f***ing traitor is f***ing b***h.
00:03:50.560 Get the f*** out of this province. You don't belong here. He unloaded a verbal assault of insults,
00:03:58.100 F-bombs and worse. Freeland and her aides got away. The man was escorted out of the city hall,
00:04:04.580 still shouting. On Twitter afterwards, Freeland said nobody anywhere should have to put up with
00:04:11.260 threats and intimidation. Although she said the harassment doesn't reflect the people of Alberta.
00:04:16.320 In Ottawa, the Prime Minister was speaking out for her. Threats, violence, intimidation of any kind
00:04:24.640 are always unacceptable. And this kind of cowardly behaviour threatens and undermines our democracy
00:04:33.640 and our values of openness and respect upon which Canada was built.
00:04:39.680 Trudeau was the victim of a stone-throwing attack during last year's election campaign.
00:04:44.300 He says these behaviours are getting worse, particularly against women and minorities,
00:04:50.620 and Canada's leaders have to take a stand.
00:04:53.740 We have to ask ourselves what kind of country we are, what kind of country we want to be.
00:04:57.920 St. Catherine City Councillor Carrie Porter saw violence firsthand last winter when someone
00:05:03.520 threw a rock through the window of her home.
00:05:06.420 Sometimes these things don't sink in until several days or several weeks later.
00:05:10.940 That's when it sort of starts to sink in.
00:05:13.800 She says she's seen an increase in incivility, particularly against women,
00:05:19.200 following Donald Trump's example in the U.S. and growing in equality.
00:05:23.660 But people manipulate and use people's legitimate anger with the system to their own end.
00:05:29.540 Political commentator Keith Leslie says the Alberta video shows no attempt to establish a dialogue
00:05:35.400 by someone emboldened by online conspiracy theorists.
00:05:40.540 The saddest of all, I thought, was how proud this guy was of himself when he got out to the parking lot.
00:05:45.960 We showed her, you just showed the world what a bully you are, and that you're just really, really angry.
00:05:51.400 We're not even quite sure why, but you're calling the Deputy Prime Minister a traitor in her own city hall in Canada.
00:05:57.400 What did she really do that makes her a traitor?
00:05:58.960 Have you lost her freedoms?
00:05:59.980 You seem to be free to be able to speak your mind to her.
00:06:02.180 There's a lot in there.
00:06:03.500 What the F are you doing in Alberta?
00:06:05.860 You traitor, get out.
00:06:07.700 Those are some very mean words.
00:06:10.320 The journalist says there are F-bombs in there and worse.
00:06:14.720 I don't know if there was much that was actually worse in there.
00:06:17.860 I mean, the word traitor, I suppose, is mean.
00:06:21.080 I think it is accurate to say there was some intimidation if there's a really big guy who's hollering.
00:06:26.480 That can be intimidating for sure.
00:06:28.080 But he didn't get close to the Deputy Prime Minister and go in the elevator with her.
00:06:35.060 And in terms of threats, I don't doubt that it probably felt threatening.
00:06:39.560 I mean, that's a subjective feeling.
00:06:41.040 But he didn't say anything like, I'm going to get you or I'm going to hit you or I'm going to attack you.
00:06:46.860 He just hollered and then he was escorted out and he went.
00:06:50.680 And what's interesting is how that, at the very least, it was rude and belligerent and noisy and startling.
00:07:02.900 But you'll notice how Trudeau added the word violence in there.
00:07:07.520 He said there was violence there.
00:07:09.540 But actually, there was no violence, was there?
00:07:11.960 It was a threat to our democracy, he said.
00:07:15.920 I'm not sure how it was.
00:07:18.520 And our values of openness and respect.
00:07:22.480 This is the same Justin Trudeau that has four censorship bills pending or proposed for the House of Commons.
00:07:29.660 The same Trudeau that invoked martial law after the peaceful trucker protest.
00:07:34.260 Had a few too many bouncy castles and hot tubs.
00:07:37.460 He's the one who seized bank accounts.
00:07:38.960 The same Trudeau who asked, should we even tolerate people who are unvaccinated?
00:07:46.380 Remember that clip that he said on French TV?
00:07:48.520 Yes, we're going to get out of this pandemic for the vaccination.
00:07:52.440 And we know all those people who are trying to hesitate a little bit.
00:07:56.860 We're going to try to convince them.
00:07:58.680 But there are also those people who are far away from the vaccination.
00:08:02.240 Who are extremists.
00:08:03.260 Who are not in science.
00:08:04.600 Who are often misogynes.
00:08:06.360 Who are often racistes.
00:08:07.420 I think my favorite or least favorite part of the CHCH clip was when they immediately pivoted and said that Trudeau, he's not the perpetrator of anger or division in our country.
00:08:29.480 He's the victim of it.
00:08:32.700 And he said, what kind of country do we want to be?
00:08:36.640 They then bring in another example from about a year ago about a local politician named Carrie Porter who claims that someone threw a rock at her house.
00:08:46.520 She says that and she had some camera footage of someone walking quickly by her house.
00:08:51.600 But there was actually no rock throwing on the camera.
00:08:55.960 I guess we have to take her word for it.
00:08:57.900 Sometimes when people are under real threat, they call the police.
00:09:02.380 But in this case, they called the TV station.
00:09:05.520 There was no proof that the rock was thrown by that guy.
00:09:08.980 And I'm not saying that a rock wasn't thrown or by that guy.
00:09:12.140 I'm just saying there wasn't proof of it and it seemed like a bit of a TV stunt by someone who was looking for sympathy.
00:09:18.120 They may also have been the victim of a threat.
00:09:21.880 And I certainly don't want anyone to throw rocks.
00:09:24.760 But you'll see how we quickly went from someone hollering to violence to they threw a rock through my home all in the same breath.
00:09:35.740 Now, they then go to an expert of some sort.
00:09:39.400 I'm not quite sure who he is.
00:09:40.940 Keith Leslie.
00:09:42.140 Keith Leslie said that there was a conspiracy theory behind this.
00:09:47.280 I'm not sure what that is.
00:09:49.220 I mean, not liking the Liberal Party or not liking Chrystia Freeland isn't really a conspiracy theory.
00:09:53.600 It's just a matter of political taste.
00:09:55.700 And it just so happens that about 68% of Canadians do not support the Liberals.
00:10:01.920 But there was one line in there that really hit close to home where this expert said,
00:10:07.740 how could she be a traitor?
00:10:09.360 How could she be a tyrant?
00:10:10.440 Have you lost your freedoms yet?
00:10:14.660 Well, it sounds like we're about to, doesn't it?
00:10:17.040 Let me show you.
00:10:18.440 I mean, this was a total wall-to-wall media coverage, quite different from the case I mentioned earlier about the Liberal government funding an anti-Semite to lead racism conferences.
00:10:30.260 No CBC story has been done on that yet at all.
00:10:34.480 If you go to the CBC.ca website and search for the name Matouf, which is the racist in question, you won't find a single entry.
00:10:42.460 But you'll find wall-to-wall coverage of the hollering and swearing at Chrystia Freeland.
00:10:49.560 And maybe there should be that kind of talking about it.
00:10:52.940 But it was amazing how uniform the messaging was that we need to ban people from hollering.
00:11:03.180 We need to ban people from offending the sensibilities of our political class.
00:11:08.980 I should tell you right now, in case you're wondering, I agree that we should ban people from being violent or making threats of violence.
00:11:15.860 I'm glad, therefore, that that's been in our criminal code for centuries.
00:11:18.940 But here's the CBC and a young chap, I don't know who he is, I've never seen him before, talking to Calgary's mayor about this.
00:11:28.240 And they're pretty much all in agreement, as you would expect when the state broadcaster interviews a sympathetic part of the state.
00:11:37.700 Take a look.
00:11:38.140 Well, one of the things that I struggle with is when it comes to harassment or it comes to certain types of things that happen that are not considered crimes necessarily,
00:11:50.300 you have to demonstrate as a so-called victim that you found it to be intimidation or threatening or frightening,
00:11:57.700 and that you're fearful because of what has happened.
00:12:01.360 And that's definitely rooted in the feelings and the emotion of the thing that's happened.
00:12:06.080 What I prefer to see is things in legislation, things in the criminal code that say you simply cannot take these actions.
00:12:14.020 So make the action identifiable.
00:12:17.220 You cannot protest in front of a public official's home rather than how did that person feel.
00:12:23.400 So I'm a little concerned that we've leaned too heavily on the victim to carry the burden.
00:12:29.200 And it does seem like online is a cesspool right now, right?
00:12:33.700 I mean, I'm sure your Twitter feed is just littered with hate and nonsense.
00:12:38.000 I know that mine is.
00:12:39.680 Do you think that there is something to be said for the federal government's plan to introduce some sort of online hate legislation?
00:12:46.860 Perhaps you've mentioned physical threats, things that can materialize in person.
00:12:51.120 But what about online?
00:12:52.220 Is there something to be done digitally?
00:12:53.800 I think we need to look at the whole environment.
00:12:57.800 I think we need to look digitally.
00:12:59.400 We need to be looking at what's happening in person.
00:13:02.160 I think we need to ensure that we are actually recognizing verbal assault for what it is instead of minimizing it as free speech and the ability to say what you want to.
00:13:12.600 And this concept that, once again, I go back to this idea of how did the victim feel?
00:13:19.520 Well, there's a lot of standers by that heard a lot of these things.
00:13:24.840 How do they feel?
00:13:25.820 What do they think this is?
00:13:27.360 So I think it's a combination of understanding that we've got to do a better job of rooting out organized hate groups and then putting in some sort of process by which to press charges.
00:13:40.260 OK, so we went from someone swearing and hollering, which isn't very nice.
00:13:44.660 And I will grant you that that may have felt intimidating, even though there was no verbal threat.
00:13:49.600 And the man stopped when he was about 10 or 15 feet away from Christopher Freeland and then walked out.
00:13:54.660 But the mayor said that there should be a ban on protests at politicians' houses.
00:14:00.920 Now, by the way, no one is allowed on your property, whether you're a politician or not.
00:14:05.220 But are we saying that there is now a bubble zone, not in front of your house or my house, not in front of any business, but politicians are now a protected class that you can't be on the public sidewalk, you can't be on the street, you are not allowed to talk about a politician near them.
00:14:24.140 I don't recommend going to a politician's house, mainly because their family are there and don't bring their family into it.
00:14:31.380 But if you are on the public sidewalk and you are not doing anything unlawful, this politician is saying you should not be allowed to have your freedom of speech rights near my house.
00:14:44.520 And politicians would be the only people with this right.
00:14:47.620 Seems like the authoritarianism is just looking for an excuse.
00:14:51.300 This heckler, by the way, in Alberta was not in anyone's house.
00:14:56.540 He was in the city hall.
00:14:58.760 The CBC guy said that maybe it's time for censorship.
00:15:03.020 And did you hear that?
00:15:03.760 He said he was sick of the hate and nonsense.
00:15:10.060 So we're going to censor hate, which is a human emotion, a feeling.
00:15:14.880 I mean, the liberals hate us.
00:15:17.620 Trudeau hates unvaccinated people.
00:15:20.060 We know that.
00:15:20.920 I guess that's the good kind of hate.
00:15:23.500 But people who hate them are going to be banned.
00:15:26.560 And anything that's nonsense, the CBC guy wants to ban nonsense.
00:15:31.920 And did you hear that word that the mayor said again?
00:15:35.500 Verbal assault by hate groups.
00:15:39.700 I don't know what verbal assault is.
00:15:41.500 I mean, I know what an assault is.
00:15:43.360 I know what hitting someone is or attacking them.
00:15:46.620 Verbal assault, I suppose, just means lots of mean words.
00:15:49.960 Again, I'm not talking about uttering threats.
00:15:52.480 If someone's actually saying, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to hit you, I'm going to beat you up.
00:15:56.480 That's actually an uttering a threat or even uttering a death threat on the criminal code.
00:16:00.160 And I support that part of the criminal code.
00:16:01.820 But I don't know what a verbal assault is.
00:16:03.720 Calling someone, using the F-bomb or calling someone a traitor.
00:16:08.080 And I don't think we should casually throw around the word traitor because we don't want to criminalize a difference of political opinion.
00:16:14.040 But that's not actually violence.
00:16:15.880 That's not actually assault.
00:16:17.940 But did you hear that hate groups?
00:16:19.880 It's the hate groups.
00:16:21.020 We have to go after the hate groups.
00:16:23.640 What hate group?
00:16:24.560 This was just some guy.
00:16:27.800 You know who they mean when they say they're against hate groups, right?
00:16:32.360 You know they mean anyone they're against.
00:16:34.260 You know they mean anyone who's against them.
00:16:35.800 You know they mean the Conservative Party of Canada, right?
00:16:38.260 The People's Party of Canada.
00:16:40.180 They're willing to call entire swaths of the population hate groups simply because they disagree with them.
00:16:49.440 These ideas are coming from the United States as much as anywhere.
00:16:52.840 Look at this press secretary.
00:16:54.180 This is a press secretary for Joe Biden.
00:16:56.920 Today talking about MAGA Republicans as a danger to democracy.
00:17:02.480 MAGA Republicans, that's anyone who voted for Trump.
00:17:04.800 That was 70, 80 million people, whatever number you believe.
00:17:10.900 They won the election in 2016.
00:17:13.140 They were close, if you believe it, in 2020.
00:17:16.240 There's some dispute over the elections.
00:17:17.800 But even if you take the most pessimistic case, you're calling 70 million plus Americans hateful dangers to the country.
00:17:27.040 Listen to the press secretary, Joe Biden, call half of Americans enemies.
00:17:32.600 The president thinks that there is an extremist threat to our democracy.
00:17:37.120 The president has been clear, as he can be, on that particular piece when we talk about a democracy, when we talk about our freedoms.
00:17:45.320 The way that he sees is the MAGA Republicans are the most energized part of the Republican Party.
00:17:51.080 That extreme, this is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights.
00:17:58.060 They just don't respect the rule of law.
00:18:00.580 You've heard that from the president.
00:18:02.340 And, you know, they are pursuing an agenda that takes away people's rights.
00:18:08.980 So, which is what the president said last week on Thursday.
00:18:11.780 You all heard him.
00:18:12.420 This is what the president said yesterday.
00:18:14.060 And that's what he's going to continue to say.
00:18:16.400 And here's the thing, the president is not going to shy away to call out what he clearly sees is happening in this country.
00:18:24.960 And, you know, again, MAGA Republicans are this extreme part of their party.
00:18:30.380 And that is just facts.
00:18:32.180 And that's what he's going to continue to lay out.
00:18:34.660 Yeah.
00:18:35.460 And did you hear how that mayor of Calgary ended?
00:18:38.200 She says that charges should be pressed.
00:18:42.620 Okay.
00:18:43.220 For what?
00:18:45.440 For being rude?
00:18:46.600 You can be rude in Canada.
00:18:49.580 You know, why are people mad?
00:18:51.400 Why was that one guy mad?
00:18:52.780 I don't know why he was mad.
00:18:54.400 By the way, that same one guy harassed and insulted Pierre Polyev and had to be pulled away from Pierre Polyev.
00:19:02.020 So, he wasn't a conservative operative.
00:19:04.080 I think he's just a generally irascible man.
00:19:06.580 And who knows, maybe he has a screw loose.
00:19:08.840 I can come up with some reasons why people are agitated.
00:19:11.640 They've been treated as criminals in their own country.
00:19:14.120 They've been banned from public squares.
00:19:15.860 They've been told they can't even visit with friends and family.
00:19:18.540 Told they can't have weddings.
00:19:19.580 Told they can't go to funerals.
00:19:20.800 Told they can't go to work.
00:19:22.300 Told they will be fired if they don't take a job.
00:19:24.300 I can think of some reasons why people are agitated.
00:19:26.940 None of which have to do with the virus, by the way.
00:19:30.100 Justin Trudeau takes no blame for this, though.
00:19:32.880 He says that climate change is the reason why people are so mad.
00:19:37.360 Did you see this clip?
00:19:38.720 I'm just wondering, what do you think is behind the rise in threats that politicians are facing?
00:19:44.380 We've been through a lot as a country, as a world over these past years.
00:19:55.520 Obviously, the pandemic, increasing anxiety because of climate change, transformations of our economy,
00:20:02.220 rise in mental health and addiction problems, particularly with the opioid crisis that has been ravaging communities right across the country.
00:20:14.960 It's a lot of pressure on a lot of people.
00:20:17.340 And unfortunately, there are no easy solutions for all these challenges we're facing.
00:20:28.180 It's going to take hard work.
00:20:29.780 It's going to take people listening to each other.
00:20:31.980 It's going to take orders of government stepping up and delivering for people.
00:20:37.000 And it's a time for responsible leadership.
00:20:38.800 It's time for people to look to assuage fears and angers, to respond with a positive vision of the future.
00:20:47.820 But people are hurting.
00:20:49.560 People are hurting because of all these things we're going through.
00:20:52.620 And we need to make sure that the messages that we put forward as a country,
00:20:58.360 and not just political leaders, but community leaders, institutions, are focused on supporting each other.
00:21:05.860 Canada made it through this pandemic better than most places in the world because Canadians do a really good job of being there for each other.
00:21:18.260 And we have to continue doing that work of building strong communities, of listening to each other and supporting each other as we move forward.
00:21:26.940 And that's something that really, really matters.
00:21:30.840 So each of us in positions of authority or power need to make sure that we are not inciting or encouraging anger or frustrations,
00:21:41.680 but actually putting forward concrete, real solutions that are going to bring people along
00:21:47.020 and allow them to see themselves in the future that the world is creating.
00:21:51.180 Yeah, climate change is why people are mad.
00:21:53.140 I want to show you a little bit more from CBC, just 20 seconds or so.
00:21:56.280 It's organized hate, and I think that's what makes it so difficult because it's hard to stamp it out, isn't it?
00:22:02.120 I mean, we talked about legislation.
00:22:04.040 Maybe there's room for more police action.
00:22:06.900 Do you think, though, that we're at this sad point where whatever we do might not really work?
00:22:11.640 Like, are we prepared for that as a country?
00:22:13.660 Like, is there really anything we can do that will stop people from just being bad people?
00:22:18.760 Well, it's organized hate.
00:22:21.160 Actually, it looks like a guy by himself.
00:22:23.980 But did you see how it ended there?
00:22:28.140 We should ban being a bad person.
00:22:32.120 Being a bad person.
00:22:34.200 What does that mean?
00:22:35.800 I know what breaking the criminal code means.
00:22:38.480 But being a bad person is the most subjective opinion in the world.
00:22:41.500 But the CBC and left-wing politicians are in total agreement.
00:22:46.300 Being a bad person should be banned.
00:22:48.540 And luckily, they get to define who the bad people are.
00:22:52.940 All of this because someone dared to swear at a politician.
00:22:56.180 They weren't protesting in the right tone of voice.
00:23:00.000 It's just like truckers were thrown in prison for 50 days because there was a little bit too much horn honking.
00:23:06.360 I'm so embarrassed.
00:23:08.680 My own MP here in Ontario, Ara Sachs, she said that horn honking is actually Nazi code because honk honk starts with the letter H.
00:23:19.960 So does Heil Hitler.
00:23:22.120 Remember when she said that?
00:23:23.820 How many guns need to be seized?
00:23:28.540 How much vitriol do we have to see of honk honk, which is an acronym for Heil Hitler?
00:23:34.680 Do we need to see by these protesters on social media?
00:23:40.560 Yeah, so that, Ara Sachs, she'll find anti-Semitism in honk honk, but not in her own government spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an actual anti-Semite.
00:23:52.700 I suppose another way to describe horn honking is beep beep, but that didn't work out.
00:23:58.120 Hey, I want to show you some real violence against politicians in Canada.
00:24:01.800 Here's Maxime Bernier getting an egg cracked on his head.
00:24:06.340 Did you see this one before?
00:24:19.720 That's real violence.
00:24:20.780 I didn't hear national calls to arrest people over that.
00:24:25.860 Speaking of arrests, Maxime Bernier himself was arrested because he was going to Manitoba to have a peaceful political meeting.
00:24:33.040 Remember that?
00:24:33.540 Yes.
00:24:34.540 Yes.
00:24:35.540 Afternoon, sir.
00:24:36.540 Yes, yes.
00:24:37.540 Bobo Clark with the RCMP.
00:24:38.540 Yes.
00:24:39.540 I can get you to step out of the vehicle.
00:24:40.540 I'm going to place you under arrest right now.
00:24:41.540 Yes.
00:24:42.540 Right now, you're under arrest under the provincial health orders.
00:24:48.540 Okay, so if you could just put your hands behind your back, face towards the vehicle.
00:24:52.540 Okay, give me one hand here.
00:24:53.540 I'll get you to step out of the vehicle, okay?
00:24:54.540 Yep.
00:24:55.540 The other hand.
00:24:56.540 Do you have any weapons or anything on you, sir?
00:24:57.540 Weapon?
00:24:58.540 No, no weapon.
00:24:59.540 Only my words.
00:25:00.540 Anything on you that's going to hurt me or anything like that?
00:25:01.540 Sorry?
00:25:02.540 Anything on you that's going to hurt me or anything like that?
00:25:03.540 No, no.
00:25:04.540 Anything on you that's going to hurt me or anything like that?
00:25:05.540 No, no, anything will hurt you.
00:25:06.540 Only my words.
00:25:07.540 Only my philosophy.
00:25:08.540 Only what I believe in.
00:25:09.540 Okay.
00:25:10.540 All right, come on over this way.
00:25:11.540 I'll explain a few things that you hear right away.
00:25:12.540 Now, there's a lot of swearing in Canada these days.
00:25:25.540 And I'm not sure if it's good, but I think swearing can sometimes let people vent.
00:25:29.540 Have you ever seen those F-U-C-K Trudeau flags?
00:25:33.540 They're actually everywhere.
00:25:34.540 I mean, I don't know who's selling them, but they must have sold 100,000.
00:25:38.540 I don't think I would fly one, but I wouldn't tell someone they couldn't.
00:25:41.540 I mean, venting is an important way to express yourself.
00:25:44.540 If you're not allowed to vent, if you're not allowed to swear, you keep it all bottled
00:25:48.540 up.
00:25:49.540 I happen to note that in places where you're not allowed to express yourself, well, people
00:25:53.540 find violence is the way to express themselves.
00:25:55.540 This isn't new.
00:25:56.540 There was a lot of F-U-C-K Harper talk under Stephen Harper, too.
00:26:01.540 But I'm not just talking about mean words.
00:26:04.540 I'm talking about actual violence.
00:26:07.540 Actual violence.
00:26:09.540 Like, for example, Justin Trudeau's personal bodyguards beating up David Menzies just a few
00:26:16.540 months ago.
00:26:17.540 Remember this?
00:26:18.540 What are you doing?
00:26:19.540 Get off me.
00:26:20.540 Hey, I can.
00:26:22.540 Hey, this is assault.
00:26:24.540 Move.
00:26:25.540 I'm on a side.
00:26:26.540 What is this?
00:26:27.540 I'm on a sidewalk.
00:26:29.540 You cannot touch me.
00:26:30.540 You're not rushing and working.
00:26:31.540 Hey.
00:26:32.540 Are you kidding?
00:26:33.540 Are you kidding?
00:26:34.540 I told you.
00:26:35.540 What is this?
00:26:36.540 You can't.
00:26:37.540 Am I under arrest?
00:26:38.540 Am I under arrest?
00:26:39.540 I'm talking about real violence against women, like Trudeau's riot cops shooting a riot gun
00:26:45.540 at Alexa Lavoie.
00:26:46.540 At Alexa Lavoie.
00:26:47.540 Remember this?
00:26:52.540 Take care.
00:26:53.540 Take care.
00:26:54.540 Bring her out.
00:26:55.540 Bring her out.
00:26:56.540 Come on.
00:26:57.540 Bring her out.
00:26:58.540 No.
00:26:59.540 No.
00:27:00.540 No.
00:27:01.540 No.
00:27:02.540 No.
00:27:03.540 No.
00:27:04.540 No.
00:27:05.540 No.
00:27:06.540 No.
00:27:07.540 No.
00:27:08.540 No.
00:27:09.540 No.
00:27:10.540 No.
00:27:11.540 No.
00:27:12.540 No.
00:27:13.540 No.
00:27:14.540 No.
00:27:15.540 No.
00:27:16.540 No.
00:27:17.540 No.
00:27:18.540 No.
00:27:19.540 No.
00:27:21.540 No!
00:27:23.540 No.
00:27:25.540 No.
00:27:26.540 No.
00:27:27.540 Nooo.
00:27:28.540 I'm talking about an NDP activist literally hitting Sheila Gunn-Reed at a women's march right
00:27:31.540 outside Rachel Notley's office in Alberta.
00:27:33.920 Remember this?
00:27:35.360 As in the back.
00:27:37.180 Okay, so wouldn't you
00:27:39.640 say that it would be seven?
00:27:41.700 No, no, no, I'm just asking you a question.
00:27:43.340 Do I seem unreasonable to you?
00:27:45.380 Because I seem really pleasant.
00:27:47.400 Am I coming across as pleasant or even better?
00:27:49.480 Yeah, absolutely. We're just trying to have a conversation
00:27:51.620 here. I'm trying to have a conversation
00:27:53.620 with you. Go away. Get out of my
00:27:55.300 face. I will break your camera.
00:27:56.820 You don't have the right to.
00:27:58.800 Whoa!
00:27:59.240 You don't have the right to film me before you go.
00:28:03.560 Yes, he does.
00:28:04.540 You just hit me in the face.
00:28:08.240 I'm talking about Trudeau's bodyguards
00:28:10.300 grabbing Draya Humphrey
00:28:11.740 and manhandling her because she was asking
00:28:13.960 questions Trudeau didn't want to hear.
00:28:16.080 Remember this?
00:28:19.480 You talked about Canada's last wrongs,
00:28:22.060 the past things they haven't done right.
00:28:23.520 When will you speak out about the 20 vandalized
00:28:25.880 churches? They're burning
00:28:27.720 churches and vandalizing them
00:28:29.700 and you're not calling it a hate crime.
00:28:33.180 Remember when Trudeau
00:28:34.420 frog marched
00:28:35.680 Key and Bextie, our alumnus,
00:28:37.620 off of the Ottawa grounds of the Prime Minister's
00:28:39.980 home simply because Trudeau
00:28:41.620 disagreed with him. Remember that?
00:28:45.440 I'm going to ask you to review your pictures right now.
00:28:47.240 You want to review my pictures?
00:28:48.440 If you don't show me, I'm going to escort you out.
00:28:50.220 I'm not showing you my pictures, man.
00:28:51.500 This isn't Hong Kong.
00:28:52.500 Okay, let's go.
00:28:55.280 You're not welcome to this site.
00:28:56.800 I'm actually...
00:28:57.280 The cars let me in.
00:28:58.460 No, I'm telling you,
00:28:59.600 being in charge of the site,
00:29:00.400 you're not welcome.
00:29:01.180 Okay, I'm going to ask you to leave
00:29:02.660 or we will be escorting out.
00:29:04.780 Yeah, I don't have an intention to leave.
00:29:06.540 I want to ask the car questions.
00:29:07.480 Do you have a car here?
00:29:07.760 Sorry, what?
00:29:08.360 Do you have a car here or did you walk in?
00:29:10.700 I walked in.
00:29:11.400 Okay, let's go.
00:29:13.180 Are you going to arrest me?
00:29:14.520 I'm going to escort you out.
00:29:15.760 So he's not arresting me.
00:29:16.720 Okay, let's go.
00:29:17.820 Don't touch me.
00:29:18.640 I will.
00:29:18.960 This is Ottawa, Canada, 2020,
00:29:29.060 when Justin Trudeau is having his RCMP
00:29:31.260 throw out a journalist for no reason
00:29:34.140 because I wouldn't show him my phone.
00:29:36.880 Remember when Antifa has attacked our people
00:29:39.220 too many times to mention?
00:29:41.100 Here's an example in Peterborough.
00:29:42.840 Remember this?
00:29:43.480 Where are your f***ing masks?
00:29:45.820 Where are my f***ing masks?
00:29:46.860 Yeah, that's what I said.
00:29:47.940 There is real violence in Canada.
00:29:59.620 I haven't seen any real violence
00:30:01.120 against any liberal politicians
00:30:02.840 or NDP politicians
00:30:04.480 or for that matter
00:30:05.540 against any conservative politicians.
00:30:07.280 Have you?
00:30:08.180 I haven't seen any real violence
00:30:10.020 against any journalists
00:30:11.780 other than Rebel News journalists.
00:30:14.540 Have you?
00:30:14.900 Can you name me a single incident
00:30:17.060 where there was violence
00:30:18.660 against a journalist in Canada?
00:30:20.520 And I'm not talking about people
00:30:22.100 heckling journalists.
00:30:23.580 Journalists certainly heckle us.
00:30:25.580 And I'm not even talking about police violence.
00:30:28.560 Take a look at this
00:30:29.320 when we were simply covering protests,
00:30:32.220 peaceful protests in Toronto, Montreal.
00:30:34.420 Take a look at this.
00:30:35.180 Hey, what's going on?
00:30:38.560 Are you detaining me?
00:30:39.460 Don't fight back!
00:30:40.360 Don't fight back!
00:30:42.940 Mask on!
00:30:44.100 I'm not in a crowd.
00:30:45.900 I'm not in a crowd of 20, though.
00:30:47.740 Okay, what?
00:30:49.400 My colleague is detained.
00:30:52.140 I have to stay.
00:30:53.560 I'm on public property.
00:30:55.200 No, man.
00:30:55.620 Put your mask on.
00:30:56.480 I'm not in a group of 20, though.
00:30:57.720 I'm not in a group of 20, what?
00:31:05.340 Keep walking.
00:31:08.160 You want a ticket or not?
00:31:09.220 That's fine.
00:31:09.840 Okay, but go.
00:31:10.600 Keep walking.
00:31:11.360 Ticket's fine.
00:31:12.480 Stay on the sidewalk.
00:31:13.520 Let's go.
00:31:19.000 I don't revolve you.
00:31:20.600 This is like...
00:31:23.720 We're documenting what's happening here, guys.
00:31:25.680 So why are we getting such a tough time?
00:31:28.900 We've been through this so many times with you guys.
00:31:31.640 Why is he being arrested?
00:31:32.500 You just told us you were in the protest.
00:31:34.260 You're going to come with us.
00:31:36.780 We don't understand now.
00:31:38.540 Why is he being arrested?
00:31:39.700 You don't talk to the president.
00:31:40.960 Go ahead.
00:31:42.020 I'm documenting the protesters.
00:31:44.040 Why did you arrest the two members of the media?
00:31:46.900 They're not violent people.
00:31:48.640 Isn't it funny?
00:31:49.800 Because Chrystia Freeland's virgin ears had to hear the F word, or had to hear being called
00:31:57.780 traitor.
00:31:58.700 We're now calling for a national lockup of anyone who dares offend a politician.
00:32:04.380 But our people are beat up, harassed, even thrown in jail, shot in the leg, and no one
00:32:09.180 cares.
00:32:09.480 It's not about violence.
00:32:10.680 It's about the liberals in the left wing using that as an excuse to lock us up.
00:32:17.540 Here's Marco Mendocino, the same public safety minister who put the country under martial
00:32:23.420 law for Justin Trudeau.
00:32:25.260 Here he is quoted in black locks.
00:32:28.760 He says,
00:32:29.140 I assure you that Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez and others within our government are leaning
00:32:33.900 in on this and will be bringing forward the legislation as quickly as possible.
00:32:40.760 He set no deadline.
00:32:44.020 Cabinet went further in a July 29th, 2021 technical paper and discussion paper that proposed to
00:32:50.580 appoint a chief censor called the Digital Safety Commissioner with powers to take anonymous
00:32:57.040 complaints on hurtful Facebook posts, conduct closed-door hearings, and issue takedown orders
00:33:02.500 to block websites.
00:33:04.640 I know that Minister Rodriguez is very eager to bring forward this legislation.
00:33:10.280 They want you in prison, not because you've attacked them, not because you've threatened
00:33:16.400 to attack them, not because you're violent, but the opposite, because they are, because they're
00:33:23.880 the ones who can't stand you expressing yourself peacefully.
00:33:28.460 That's the reason they shot Alexa and beat up David.
00:33:32.300 And that's the reason they're trying to weaponize this blowhard who I do not support.
00:33:37.480 They're trying to use him as an excuse to put you in jail.
00:33:42.260 Stay with us for more.
00:33:53.880 You have made national headlines after expressing concerns about a trans male in the locker room.
00:34:01.800 Tell us about that.
00:34:04.560 Well, as I said, I'm a regular swimmer.
00:34:07.760 And I finished my swim and went to take a shower.
00:34:12.520 And I heard a man's voice.
00:34:15.820 And I looked to one side where there are two toilet stalls with doors on them.
00:34:20.640 A man was standing there in a woman's bathing suit, and he was watching little girls take
00:34:26.220 their suits down in order to use the toilet.
00:34:30.260 And I said to him, do you have a penis?
00:34:34.240 And he said, that's none of your business.
00:34:37.060 And I said, you need to get out of here right now.
00:34:40.760 A Y staffer came from maybe the staff room around in her red T-shirt.
00:34:46.100 And I said, get that man out of here.
00:34:48.720 And she said, without skipping a beat.
00:34:52.020 That's discrimination.
00:34:53.840 You're out of the pool forever.
00:34:55.580 And I've caught the cops.
00:34:56.720 Yes, I'm a reporter.
00:35:10.280 Hi, great.
00:35:10.960 We have a...
00:35:11.860 How are you guys doing?
00:35:13.140 Is she here?
00:35:16.060 I will direct you to this, and then you can reach out to her with any questions that you
00:35:19.960 have.
00:35:20.160 Thanks.
00:35:20.420 How are you guys doing?
00:35:21.420 We're doing good, but I'm afraid we're not taking interviews in person at this time.
00:35:24.580 You're not?
00:35:25.200 Yes.
00:35:25.420 How do you feel about the issue?
00:35:26.980 I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
00:35:28.420 Yeah.
00:35:28.680 Thank you, and have a great day.
00:35:29.720 You too.
00:35:30.680 Well, that is an excerpt from a powerful video by one of our newest rebels based in Seattle,
00:35:37.400 Washington, Katie Davis Corp.
00:35:39.380 An incredible story.
00:35:40.540 Imagine that.
00:35:42.280 A transgender staffer in the changing room watching little girls take off their bathing
00:35:48.900 suits to go to the bathroom.
00:35:50.620 And the chutzpah of saying that that grandma was the one violating privacy.
00:35:58.700 Outrageous.
00:35:59.660 Joining me now via Skype.
00:36:01.600 From the side of the highway is our friend Katie Davis Cord, who pulled over to do this
00:36:05.340 interview.
00:36:06.480 Katie, I am so mad.
00:36:07.820 I am so grateful to that grandma for standing up for those kids.
00:36:12.860 There was no parent there.
00:36:14.420 Those were, it sounds like they were very young girls too, like children of tender years.
00:36:18.900 I'm not talking.
00:36:19.620 I mean, it wouldn't be good for any age.
00:36:21.580 Teenagers would be even more shy, I think.
00:36:24.460 But imagine having a grown man in there watching young girls undress.
00:36:30.440 That is super gross.
00:36:32.960 Right.
00:36:33.580 It's truly a remarkable story.
00:36:35.160 And what I find even more frustrating and what needs to be brought to issue is instead
00:36:41.180 of them listening to Julie's concerns, they immediately banned her from the YMCA swimming
00:36:47.440 pool for hate and discrimination.
00:36:49.540 Instead of listening to her concerns about a male, a biological male, watching girls, they
00:36:56.980 were under the age of 10, undressed to use the restroom.
00:37:00.380 And it just, where are we at this day and age?
00:37:03.300 It raises a lot of concerns about the future.
00:37:06.880 They have no basis for saying she's full of hate.
00:37:10.340 And discrimination means choosing.
00:37:13.340 There is a difference between boys and girls, men and women.
00:37:16.520 And that's why we have men and women's bathrooms.
00:37:20.120 And the idea that men can be in women's bathrooms and watch young children disrobe is so alien
00:37:27.000 to the privacy of the girls, to the privacy of those young girls.
00:37:32.380 They were the ones discriminated against.
00:37:34.460 They lost their privacy and, frankly, their security of the person, as they say.
00:37:39.100 You know, your petition is called Let Her Swim.
00:37:42.220 Is that what it's called?
00:37:42.920 Let Her Swim?
00:37:43.960 Yes.
00:37:44.300 And I think that's, right, Julie Jermaine should be let in to swim.
00:37:48.500 But that's just the smallest part of this.
00:37:51.460 The biggest part is this insane violation of the privacy of girls and women.
00:37:58.880 I mean, yeah, I want Julie Jermaine in there to swim again.
00:38:01.980 Let her swim.
00:38:03.260 Don't kick her out.
00:38:04.340 But even if she was allowed back in, oh, my God, it sounds like they are standing by this
00:38:11.060 transgender person having full access when there are children of tender years in there.
00:38:17.540 Right.
00:38:18.180 You're absolutely correct.
00:38:19.220 And so after the incident, they ended up holding a women's rights group, ended up showing support
00:38:25.300 for Julie holding a rally in the city of Port Townsend, and they ended up being mobbed by radical left-wing activists, which emerged.
00:38:35.080 A new scandal was revealed.
00:38:38.140 The Port Townsend mayor, his name is David Faber.
00:38:41.700 He took to Twitter and expressed support for the grown men that attacked elderly women at this rally
00:38:50.980 because he was advocating alongside the transgender individuals and deemed this group a hateful group
00:38:59.320 when they just want rights to their own bodies in a very intimate place of changing in the woman's restroom.
00:39:08.260 They don't want men seeing them.
00:39:10.480 And it opens up a bigger, a greater issue into what we see with trans people being let into prisons.
00:39:19.900 There has been many reports that in the prisons, people have the men, biological men, are just saying that they're women
00:39:29.500 to get into the prisons with the women, and then they are raping the women.
00:39:34.880 And it just, it brings a greater issue into when you allow transgender people into a locker room
00:39:43.980 that doesn't have signage on the door.
00:39:47.200 That was Julie's main concern.
00:39:48.300 There's no signage on the door that said gender-neutral, changing room.
00:39:53.340 And anyone this day could say, oh, I identify as a trans male and bring in perverts to the locker room.
00:40:02.320 I'm not saying this trans woman is a pervert from the YMCA.
00:40:05.600 We don't know that fact.
00:40:07.380 But if what Julie says, they were watching young girls change, it's an issue.
00:40:13.940 Yeah.
00:40:14.020 You know, just last weekend, the Democracy Fund had a panel called Protecting Women's Spaces in the Age of Transgenderism.
00:40:20.940 One of the panelists, Heather Mason, was a female prisoner in Canada, and she made an incredible comment.
00:40:27.880 She said that if you're a convicted rapist or a convicted child molester, you're at risk in the male prison.
00:40:37.360 The other prisoners might kill you.
00:40:38.580 Other prisoners sometimes kill or beat up child molesters.
00:40:41.840 There's even a kind of honor amongst the criminals.
00:40:44.140 So if you're a child molester in prison in Canada or anywhere, and you simply identify as a woman, you can be transferred to a women's prison in Canada.
00:40:57.200 You don't have to go through surgery.
00:40:59.060 You don't have to take any hormones.
00:41:00.840 You just have to literally say, man, I feel like a woman.
00:41:04.240 And they'll put you in a women's prison for two reasons.
00:41:07.620 First of all, a woman's prison is nicer compared to a men's prison.
00:41:11.280 Second of all, you're not going to be killed by the other prisoners.
00:41:14.040 And third of all, and Heather Mason says that 50 percent of the trans prisoners in women's prison are these rapists and child molesters.
00:41:22.740 Because they would be hurt in the men's prison.
00:41:25.740 And so now they have access.
00:41:27.340 They're basically put in a cage with vulnerable women.
00:41:31.820 And she says there are rapes, there are pregnancies, there's violence.
00:41:35.520 And if these female prisoners speak out, it goes on their record and it's held against them at parole time because it shows they were ungovernable.
00:41:44.020 So what you just outlined is happening.
00:41:46.420 I know it's happening in Canada.
00:41:47.940 I'm sure it's happening in the U.S. too.
00:41:50.020 So what's the latest?
00:41:51.900 I mean, I saw you go back in to the swimming pool and it looks like it's a very activist swimming pool.
00:41:58.260 It looks like they've got their pride flags and very militant.
00:42:02.060 It's not just a place to swim.
00:42:03.700 It looks like it's an ideological place.
00:42:06.100 What's the latest?
00:42:07.140 I mean, you said there was a protest and a counter protest.
00:42:10.300 How's this story going to end?
00:42:12.520 Right.
00:42:13.080 So Julie is determined to keep fighting for women's rights.
00:42:16.360 And she's a she's been going to the YMCA for 30 years.
00:42:20.120 So everyone that has been banning her from the swimming pool, they she's been going there longer than they have been alive.
00:42:26.960 These workers look like they're under 20 and the trans staffer is, I believe, 18.
00:42:34.280 So they have actually launched a campaign attack against Julie.
00:42:38.840 And after she spoke out, she picketed with a sign that said there's biological men in the women's restroom and the staff, the YMCA, which YMCA stands for Young Men's Christians Association.
00:42:52.640 They flooded the lobby with pride flags and got all the support for this trans staffer, didn't acknowledge any of the issues that Julie expressed.
00:43:06.360 And so when I went in there, I wanted to get their side of the story because that's what you need to be a journalist.
00:43:12.040 Both sides.
00:43:13.040 They wouldn't let me in.
00:43:14.860 And then after I went there with Julie, they had sent Julie an email, an official email banning her from from the YMCA, but also said that if she steps foot on property, they will call the police.
00:43:29.320 But this weekend groups are forming in support of Julie.
00:43:34.600 They're going to be going back down to Port Townsend.
00:43:37.200 And they are self-proclaimed patriots.
00:43:39.920 I'm not sure what to expect out of it.
00:43:42.160 This is not a rally put on by Julie, but they are there to stand up against men invading women's privacy.
00:43:51.420 So this is a story that's going to last.
00:43:53.800 And it's got a national attention, worldwide attention now.
00:43:57.620 So we have done a great job at raising awareness for what's happening here in Port Townsend.
00:44:04.160 Well, the website is letherswim.com, which is part of it.
00:44:06.860 Of course, I'm much more concerned about those kids.
00:44:09.640 And, you know, my view on transgenderism is that I believe that the law and the rule should be a shield, not a sword, to protect people from being picked on.
00:44:19.900 I agree with that.
00:44:20.500 Not a sword to force your way into a change room and stare at children of tender years going to the bathroom.
00:44:27.940 That's the creepy part.
00:44:29.400 And transgenderism, the political ideology, is about using it as a sword to attack others, to change the world rather than to protect yourself and your privacy.
00:44:40.400 I'm all for the privacy and dignity of someone who is confused or feels like they're a different.
00:44:46.940 I mean, that's fine.
00:44:47.960 That's none of my business in a way.
00:44:49.720 But they're forcing other people to be part of their drama.
00:44:54.280 I can only imagine.
00:44:55.500 I mean, without warning and without their parents there, that is terrifying.
00:44:59.320 Do we know anything more about those kids?
00:45:01.320 Do we know who their parents were or who the kids were?
00:45:03.760 Do we hear any more from them?
00:45:04.820 Right.
00:45:06.100 I've tried to investigate some of their Port Townsend, you know, social media activists have written back saying that, oh, no, the parents are in support of the trans staffer.
00:45:17.520 But you can't verify that.
00:45:19.860 So they haven't been publicly speaking out.
00:45:22.500 I don't know if it's because it's minor eight or minor kids or and they don't want that to be exposed.
00:45:27.480 But if I was a parent, I would be all over this issue.
00:45:31.200 I feel like most normal parents would be, especially with the allegations brought forth.
00:45:37.560 But then again, Port Townsend is very left wing.
00:45:41.180 So you don't know what's going on.
00:45:44.080 You don't know who these kids are and you don't know who their parents are.
00:45:47.140 So that's the latest on the kids.
00:45:51.040 Well, I'm glad you're doing this story.
00:45:52.300 It's very hard to cover this story because there really is more censorship on this issue than just about anything out there.
00:45:58.720 It's incredible. This video of us talking here can never go on YouTube.
00:46:02.980 It would be immediately slapped down or Facebook or Instagram.
00:46:06.540 They would delete it as being a violation of their terms of service.
00:46:10.880 These are difficult days where you can't call these things out.
00:46:14.120 I'm glad you're doing the story.
00:46:15.220 I'm glad you interviewed Julie.
00:46:17.160 And for the folks who are interested, go to letherswim.com to see more.
00:46:21.380 Katie, thanks very much for the update.
00:46:23.420 Yep. Thanks for having me.
00:46:24.620 All right. Great to see you.
00:46:25.400 There you have it. Katie Davis scored, our newest rebel outside of Seattle, Washington.
00:46:29.920 Stay with us.
00:46:30.860 Your letters are next.
00:46:44.060 Hey, welcome back.
00:46:45.000 Your letters.
00:46:45.560 Steve Long says she should be a mentor for all young women and men looking for the strength to speak the truth.
00:46:51.380 I have a lot of respect for people like Leslyn Lewis.
00:46:53.420 Yeah, I like Leslyn Lewis. It was good to talk to her again.
00:46:57.140 You know what, though?
00:46:57.740 That Nuremberg Code, I really didn't know much about that until the pandemic started.
00:47:02.340 It's incredible what the Nazis did through doctors.
00:47:06.340 And doctors provided the rationale.
00:47:08.320 You put a white lab coat on someone and call him doctor, people will do just about anything he says.
00:47:14.200 Kelly Abrams said, just watched her interview video with Jordan Peterson.
00:47:19.960 I was blown away by her.
00:47:21.000 Such an intelligent, well-rounded person.
00:47:22.940 She will make an amazing prime minister.
00:47:24.600 I presume you're talking about Leslyn Lewis again.
00:47:26.400 I'm glad she's running.
00:47:27.280 I don't think she's going to win, but I certainly hope that if, as I expect, Pierre Paglia becomes prime minister, that Leslyn Lewis is in cabinet.
00:47:34.640 Randall F. Burgess talks about my story about the crickets and says, eating bugs or crickets or mealworms is not even advice by the National Institutes of Health, which did a study as they are unhealthy for human consumption due to the high levels of parasites that then infect humans from the ingestion of insects.
00:47:52.940 You know, I got to tell you, yesterday recording that monologue, I was literally gagging.
00:47:57.440 I had to stop the recording several times and redo it.
00:48:00.860 I was so embarrassed.
00:48:02.420 I was maybe a little bit nauseous anyways, but just talking about eating bugs, there is a reason why we gag when we see bugs.
00:48:12.080 What's that reason?
00:48:14.340 I think if you believe in God or if you believe in evolution and Darwin, whatever you believe in,
00:48:21.100 you've got to notice that our gag reflex when we see rotting food or maggots or bugs aligns with our health interests, aligns with our natural interests.
00:48:32.720 Why do we find delicious foods smell great and look great?
00:48:37.360 And why do we think unhealthy things like maggot or rotting food, why do we think the smell of crittled milk or rotten eggs is so offensive?
00:48:45.720 There's nothing inherent in the chemistry of those smells that makes them bad other than our bodies think so.
00:48:53.420 I think that is 10,000 generations of don't eat that, don't eat that, natural selection.
00:49:05.020 If you eat the rotting meat, if you eat the bugs, you will be sick and die.
00:49:08.600 So your body, why does your body throw up when you have things, and you have too much alcohol?
00:49:14.760 Why does your body throw it up?
00:49:15.880 Because it's trying to expel the poison.
00:49:18.260 There is a reason we are nauseous and gag when we see bugs.
00:49:23.000 They're not meant to be eaten.
00:49:24.440 Oh, I'm getting sick again just talking about it.
00:49:26.180 That's our show for today.
00:49:27.880 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
00:49:32.340 And don't eat the bugs.
00:49:33.340 David Menzies for Rebel News here in Markham, Ontario.
00:49:37.040 And folks, have you heard the news?
00:49:39.340 First of all, the World Economic Forum, they told us to chow down on bugs.
00:49:45.820 Insects are becoming a trend.
00:49:47.760 The Western diet has to kind of shift and change.
00:49:50.240 And most importantly, it's natural, it's normal, and it's the way that we have to feed the future.
00:49:54.040 And now, they're saying in order to save the planet, or prevent the climate catastrophe, or to appease Greta Thunberg, who knows, they want us to give up our cars.
00:50:10.240 Can you imagine that?
00:50:11.960 I mean, isn't the car the most famous freedom machine out there?
00:50:17.740 I mean, they sing songs about cars.
00:50:21.360 There's movies about cars, books about cars, magazines about cars.
00:50:24.860 It's not just an appliance like a washing machine, or a dryer, or a toaster.
00:50:30.060 It is, as I said, a freedom machine.
00:50:32.060 Put another way, folks, nobody ever wrote songs about solar panels and wind turbines.
00:50:38.020 In any event, the car club, the Thornhill Cruisers, they're gathering behind me.
00:50:44.360 And I just thought, surely they must love their wheels.
00:50:48.380 I wonder what they think about Klaus Schwab telling them to hand their cars over to the repo men.
00:50:56.600 Let's check it out.
00:50:57.820 The World Economic Forum, headed up by Klaus Schwab, they want people to give up their cars.
00:51:03.040 What do you make of that, sir?
00:51:05.260 It's stupid.
00:51:06.220 I mean, why would I give up my car?
00:51:09.720 Indeed.
00:51:10.500 Essentially, they're going to go electric, and we won't have any pollution anymore.
00:51:14.120 Well, yeah, that's assuming the grid can handle hundreds of millions of electric cars at the same time, I guess.
00:51:19.440 It would take 20 years, Toyota said, to build the infrastructure for North America.
00:51:24.420 Okay, then.
00:51:25.120 20 years.
00:51:26.480 So, well, you know, but this is, I mean, this is a design masterpiece.
00:51:30.540 And one thing, sir, I look at the car.
00:51:32.680 I mean, at the end of the day, you could say it's just an appliance, like a washing machine or a dishwasher, but it really isn't.
00:51:38.900 I mean, Prince sang a song about this car.
00:51:42.100 Our little red Corvette, it's part of our culture.
00:51:52.060 The idea that we have to give up these beautiful wheels.
00:51:56.520 Like, why do you think they're asking us to do that, sir?
00:51:59.340 Well, are they asking us to get rid of classic cars or all cars?
00:52:03.560 If it's classic cars, I'm lucky to get this out once or twice a week.
00:52:07.260 It's not the same as all those guys that were asked to give up their guns.
00:52:13.520 Now, are you the owner of this Charger?
00:52:15.360 Yes, sir.
00:52:15.880 Okay, now, to appease Klaus Schwab or Greta Thunberg, would you ever part ways with this beautiful car?
00:52:23.280 No.
00:52:23.960 That's my mistress.
00:52:24.840 I would never give her up.
00:52:27.100 Are you going to give up this beauty anytime soon?
00:52:29.320 No, not for sure.
00:52:32.540 Or my other car, my other two cars either.
00:52:35.460 I got a hot rod and then I got an antique 1940 Chevy Business Coupe antique.
00:52:40.800 Wow.
00:52:41.600 And a 1936 Ford street rod.
00:52:45.660 Wow.
00:52:46.080 So you're not enthused with the idea of walking or taking public transit?
00:52:50.200 Not at all.
00:52:51.280 Not at all.
00:52:52.140 See even a chance to accelerate, let's say, our transition into a green economy
00:53:03.020 because people probably recognize that we have to become more resilient.
00:53:10.060 We have now the experience of one crisis.
00:53:13.400 The environmental crisis, the climate crisis could be a much bigger one.
00:53:16.940 Are you ready to give away this beautiful Fairlane 500 XL anytime soon?
00:53:21.280 Not at my age, no.
00:53:22.980 No.
00:53:23.900 Not a hope.
00:53:25.800 Do you find it hypocritical because the same people who say to us to give up our cars,
00:53:32.340 they're getting around in chauffeur-driven limousines, they're flying in private jets.
00:53:36.520 I've never seen them eat cricket sandwiches.
00:53:39.040 So what's going on here?
00:53:40.160 Why is there two separate rules?
00:53:41.920 I don't know what it is that way.
00:53:44.740 I wouldn't be eating crickets, that's for sure.
00:53:46.760 So, no, again, it's, I think everybody is used to having what their father did for his whole lifetime.
00:53:54.540 You expect to be able to do that for yourself for your whole lifetime.
00:53:57.900 And now things are changing five or six times through your lifetime, and you're supposed to adapt to it all.
00:54:02.480 We're facing big global challenges.
00:54:05.020 People don't believe that they can make a change, that you really, really can, because you making a change is the only change you can really make.
00:54:12.980 When it times is by nine billion people, it makes a fundamental difference to the way that we live on this planet.
00:54:17.340 Why are they telling the rest of us to give up our automobiles?
00:54:23.340 He gets around in a chauffeur-driven limousine.
00:54:25.500 He takes private jets.
00:54:26.620 It's a bunch of hypocrites, most of them folks.
00:54:29.140 I mean, they're all jet-setting around the world, you know, look at that, what was his name that was all talking about global warming a few years back there.
00:54:37.380 David Suzuki, Al Gore.
00:54:38.540 No, yeah, I'll go, I'll go.
00:54:40.160 And he was on a big jet plane all the time, flying all over the place.
00:54:43.340 And every time that thing takes off, it takes way more, puts out way more pollution than any of these cars do.
00:54:49.000 These don't pollute anymore.
00:54:51.960 Not these, but the new cars, they don't pollute anymore.
00:54:54.780 A hundred percent.
00:54:55.840 They don't pollute anything.
00:54:57.180 Well, you never know who you're going to meet at a classic car meet.
00:55:00.240 I just bumped into Roy.
00:55:01.440 He is a Green Party member.
00:55:02.920 He ran in the riding of Markham Stovall a few years back.
00:55:06.360 And, you know, I've got to tell you, I'm pleasantly surprised you like these cars as much as me, it would seem.
00:55:14.240 And yet, you're part of the green movement.
00:55:16.840 What's your take, sir, on the world economic form telling people they should give up their cars to save the planet?
00:55:25.260 When I look at these classic cars, I see people who put their time, their love, their passion into it.
00:55:30.200 And when you look at the carbon footprint of this car, sure, it's a gas-guzzling V8, 440 cubic inches.
00:55:36.560 But the carbon footprint on this car, because it's only taken out on beautiful days, you know, he might put on, I think the average is 400 or 500 miles a year.
00:55:46.100 His carbon footprint is literally less than the outfit I'm wearing right now.
00:55:50.100 So he doesn't, he should not feel guilty.
00:55:53.280 He should feel happy about bringing out his car and showing us.
00:55:56.180 And we spoke briefly off camera.
00:55:58.180 I mean, there is a flip side to the EV revolution going on.
00:56:03.400 The California energy authorities are saying, we are not going to be able to power tens of millions of Californians driving EV cars.
00:56:12.200 There's only one nuke plant there.
00:56:13.600 There's already brownouts and blackouts in California as is.
00:56:17.060 So is this maybe a piece of the puzzle that some haven't figured out, sir, in terms of rushing to the EV way of driving?
00:56:27.160 Yes.
00:56:27.600 Well, we're not going to rush into it.
00:56:29.520 We're not going to, everybody's not going to run out and buy a new EV car this year.
00:56:33.080 It's going to go in stages, just like when we went from horses to cars.
00:56:36.980 At first, people were going, where are we going to get the gas?
00:56:39.520 But right now, people are saying, where are we going to get the electricity?
00:56:41.940 Right now, we've got a nuclear plant that's sitting there.
00:56:44.560 And at night, it's got all this electricity nobody can use.
00:56:48.020 We can charge up our cars at night when we don't need the electricity.
00:56:52.060 And then during the day, drive them while they're heating our homes or heating our air conditionings.
00:56:58.000 Where does it end?
00:56:59.120 You give up your car hobby so you can save the planet.
00:57:02.260 Okay, so how many plastic model kits have you ever had in your life?
00:57:05.400 Oh, yeah.
00:57:06.400 They're made out of petroleum products.
00:57:08.500 Sir, don't give them any ideas.
00:57:10.260 But that's what it leads to.
00:57:11.300 One thing leads to the next thing.
00:57:13.040 And before you know it, nobody has any hobbies, but they allow you to drink like hell.
00:57:17.080 That's true.
00:57:18.120 And you know what?
00:57:18.920 That's a beautiful dog.
00:57:20.100 Is that your dog, sir?
00:57:21.060 Yeah.
00:57:21.640 How soon is it going to be?
00:57:23.160 And I think people have already made this argument that we need to relinquish our pets.
00:57:27.880 That is a toll on the environment, too.
00:57:30.280 They eat meat.
00:57:32.440 Would you be giving up this little guy anytime soon?
00:57:35.740 Oh, probably.
00:57:36.220 Well, there you have it, folks.
00:57:39.220 No members of the Thornhill Cruisers, not surprisingly, of course, are on board with the World Economic Forum saying to get rid of these beautiful cars from yesterday year or from the present year, for that matter.
00:57:56.600 I mean, even we bumped into that Green Party member, and he's not on board with that.
00:58:01.200 So hope abounds.
00:58:02.460 As for Chloe Schwab, you want us to eat insects, you want us to give up our cars, you're probably going to tell us to give up our pets.
00:58:10.340 The right response is to collaborate and to coordinate internationally so we can address the global challenges posed by climate change and COVID-19 and also continue to use trade as a force for good.
00:58:25.200 But don't come here to the Thornhill Cruisers meet clothes, because if you do, you'll be cruising for a bruising.
00:58:36.760 For Rebel News, I'm David the Menzoid Menzies.
