Hello, my Rebels. Today, I tell you a second crime committed by Stephen Gilboa, the Environment
00:00:06.700
Minister, and I'm quite embarrassed to say this. I did not know about this second crime until today.
00:00:12.480
I was today years old when I learned that Stephen Gilboa participated in a kind of home invasion,
00:00:20.360
terrifying a woman in the house. I didn't know this, even though I lived not far away from the
00:00:24.980
house in that city where Gilboa committed this horrific offense. I'll tell you what I know,
00:00:30.740
and then you'll know it. Hey, by the way, I'd like you to subscribe to Rebel News Plus. What is that?
00:00:35.980
That's the video version of this podcast. I'd love you to see the images. I want you to see the picture
00:00:40.720
of this home invasion. We have a photo of it. And I want to let you know that the eight bucks a month
00:00:46.140
that it costs for the video version of this podcast, we really rely on that to pay the bills around here
00:00:50.900
because, you know, we're demonetized by YouTube. We get no money from the government. We would never
00:00:55.960
take it. So we really do rely on you. It's eight bucks a month. It might not sound like a lot to
00:01:00.860
you, but it really adds up for us. Please consider going to rebelnewsplus.com and clicking subscribe.

Tonight, that time Trudeau's environment minister did a home invasion terrorizing a woman home alone.
00:01:30.000
It's April 3rd, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:32.500
You're fighting for freedom. Shame on you, you censorious bug.
00:01:38.800
I often mention that Stephen Gilboa, Trudeau's environment minister,
00:01:52.100
is a convicted criminal. And I describe the events for one of his most famous crimes. He went
00:01:59.220
into the CN Tower in Toronto. Actually, he climbed up it. He trespassed. He dangled himself from the CN
00:02:06.220
Tower. He put many people in danger, and he did so for money, to make money for his company, Greenpeace,
00:02:13.900
a multinational corporation that makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year by breaking the law
00:02:19.160
for profit. I'm not sure why they get away with it, but other criminal gangs like Hell's Angels don't.
00:02:27.400
Here's a story I often refer to when I mention this. This is the version from the Globe and Mail. I'll
00:02:32.120
read it. CN Tower climbers ordered to pay costs. Now, the story is from 2002. Two Greenpeace activists
00:02:40.600
who scaled the CN Tower last summer and unfurled a massive banner in a stunt that drew international
00:02:46.260
media coverage pleaded guilty yesterday to public mischief. Britain, Christopher Holden, 24, and
00:02:52.300
Montrealer Stephen Gilbeau, 32, received conditional discharges and agreed to pay $3,000 to the tower's
00:03:00.200
corporate owner as compensation for the security and staff costs it incurred. Although a prosecutor
00:03:06.220
told an Ontario court judge the two men were remorseful, both expressed jubilation outside court
00:03:14.400
about having drawn public attention to global climate change and the need to cut greenhouse gas
00:03:19.080
emissions. This was the climax of my efforts so far, said Mr. Holden, who has worked as an
00:03:25.200
industrial climber in England and who has used his skills to hoist a 15-meter-square banner proclaiming
00:03:30.900
Canada and Bush climate killers 350 meters into the air. Mr. Gilbeau told reporters that the climb
00:03:38.260
helped raise public awareness about climate change, and he believes it influenced Prime Minister
00:03:42.280
Jean Chrétien's decision to commit Canada to ratifying the Kyoto Accord on global warming.
00:03:46.740
The Canadian National Tower Corporation suffered $50,000 in losses from the stunt,
00:03:53.760
Crown Prosecutor Calvin Berry told the court. That estimate included $35,000 lost when it cut ticket
00:04:00.640
prices in half for six hours on July 16th because one side of the observation deck was sealed off by
00:04:06.680
security to allow police and firefighters to monitor the safety of the protesters. Mr. Gilbeau was placed
00:04:13.660
on one year's probation in order to perform 100 hours of community service in Montreal where he works
00:04:19.180
for Greenpeace and pay $1,000 of the $3,000 restitution. Mr. Holden will pay $2,000 was ordered
00:04:26.580
to report once to a probation officer before returning to Egypt where he now lives. So Gilbeau was 52 years
00:04:33.200
old now. You can see in the story that he committed this crime when he was 32. My point is he wasn't a child.
00:04:39.480
He wasn't a teenager. He wasn't a college kid. He was a professional fundraiser for the multinational
00:04:46.200
corporation called Greenpeace. He inflicted $50,000 damage on the CN Tower business. They've got nothing
00:04:53.520
to do with climate change or global warming. He doesn't care. And what a laugh that he only had to
00:04:58.020
pay $1,000 to them and spent no time in jail and was laughing outside the court even though the foolish
00:05:05.360
prosecutor said, oh, he's very remorseful. What's interesting is that normally Greenpeace uses
00:05:12.260
cannon fodder. By that, I mean college kids, dumb pawns on the chessboard. But Gilbeau was a boss.
00:05:21.200
He was 32 and he was an executive with Greenpeace. It's very unusual that he would commit a crime,
00:05:27.900
but why wouldn't he? He got off with a slap on the wrist. I tell that story a lot and I show the
00:05:34.940
picture of him in his orange guard because it looks like a prison outfit. He wore that for his
00:05:40.640
climb, but he really is a criminal in spirit. But here's a story for you and I'm embarrassed to say
00:05:48.140
I did not know about this and shame on me because I follow these subjects. I'm from Calgary originally.
00:05:54.680
I knew the late Premier Ralph Klein. In fact, I was a pole captain for him when I was very young,
00:06:01.040
knocking on doors and whatnot. I wouldn't say I was a close friend of his or anything,
00:06:05.900
but I was a friendly acquaintance. And I had met Mrs. Klein and I knew where their house was. It
00:06:12.500
wasn't far away from where I lived and it was just a sleepy bungalow. And, you know, especially back then,
00:06:22.320
Alberta was a safe place. I think there was a security guard who accompanied Premier Klein around,
00:06:28.560
but it was very easy peasy. But look at this story. And my embarrassment is that I didn't know
00:06:33.820
about this story until today, actually. This story was published in 2021 when Gilbo was made
00:06:46.440
environment minister. Now, it wasn't just about his CN tower crime. Let me read to you a story by Don
00:06:53.600
Braid in the Calgary Herald a couple of years ago when Gilbo was appointed by Trudeau to be the
00:06:59.060
environment minister. I'm going to read a chunk of the story. Okay. On April 11th, 2002, Greenpeace
00:07:06.640
pranksters climbed onto the roof of then Premier Ralph Klein's bungalow in Lakeview. From inside,
00:07:19.240
Klein's wife, Klein's wife, Colleen, saw vans arrive and people in orange uniforms take a ladder to the
00:07:28.240
house. I was terrified, she told an interviewer years later. She thought it was some kind of home
00:07:38.120
invasion. Well, it was. Greenpeace campaigner Gilbo said, we're offering Mr. and Mrs. Klein a gift
00:07:48.860
of solar panels, a gift of the future. That's what the energy of the future should be about. It will be
00:07:55.140
about solar and wind energy. Ralph Klein admitted some furious wind power of his own. Colleen was shook
00:08:04.500
up, he said. It was an invasion of privacy. Nobody's home ought to be public property.
00:08:11.800
Environmental activists thought it was hilarious. Hmm. Here's a picture, a close-up of the home
00:08:23.740
invasion. Imagine you're a woman at home by yourself. There's no security at your house.
00:08:30.140
Your husband's the premier. He's up at the legislature. You're home alone. Your husband is
00:08:34.240
out of town. And a group of thugs show up, start coming onto your property, climbing onto your house,
00:08:40.360
and you don't know what's going on. That is a private house.
00:08:46.520
Stephen Gilbo is a lawless clown. He is a serial criminal. He is abusive. He abused Colleen
00:09:00.280
Klein. He terrified her. Justin Trudeau knew this. He knows this. And yet he chose Stephen Gilbo
00:09:09.880
over what must have been an objection by the RCMP. See, cabinet ministers know national secrets,
00:09:17.240
high security secrets, foreign intelligence secrets, policing secrets. And you have a serial
00:09:24.480
criminal in your cabinet? There's no way the RCMP gave that a rubber stamp. Trudeau doesn't care
00:09:34.180
because Trudeau himself is a serial lawbreaker. How many times has he broken the Conflict of Interest
00:09:40.200
Act? Stephen Gilbo is a sociopath. He claims to be, oh, I'm just here to offer him a gift.
00:09:46.740
That's not a gift. That is a fundraising stunt. Stephen Gilbo broke the law to make millions of
00:09:54.580
dollars for a multinational corporation. Hell's Angels is a multinational corporation that breaks
00:10:00.760
the law for money too, but they're not treated with kid gloves. You would never have a Hell's
00:10:06.460
Angels criminal appointed to cabinet, but Stephen Gilbo was appointed to cabinet. He's a psychopath,
00:10:13.120
really, in a way, Stephen Gilbo. Imagine terrifying a woman who has nothing to do with anything,
00:10:19.920
terrorizing her and going onto her property so you can take some pictures and publish them and get rich.
00:10:26.800
That's a psychopath who doesn't think about others but only himself. You know, Jordan Peterson,
00:10:34.140
the great psychologist, talks about the appeal of psychopaths. He often talks about it in terms of
00:10:40.920
young women, naive young women, having trouble differentiating between confident, strong guys
00:10:48.040
and absolute sociopathic liars. They exude the same confidence and sometimes young women cannot
00:10:57.200
distinguish. It's an interesting observation he makes. Peterson talks about the trickery, how men can
00:11:04.580
trick themselves to win the hearts of women, or if not the hearts, at least their bodies for one night.
00:11:11.160
Male feminists, narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths. I think that that is Justin Trudeau and Stephen
00:11:21.680
Gilbo and the other charlatans that surround them. I think a lot of people, when they first encounter
00:11:29.000
Justin Trudeau, like his suave. They like that he's, well, if not handsome, the least ugly politician.
00:11:35.520
It's not a tough competition to be the least ugly. They like that his name is the same as his father's.
00:11:44.060
They like that he has all the smooth buzzwords. And I think they're tricked, like naive young girls are,
00:11:50.760
to a narcissistic predator. If you look at the demographics of who supports Trudeau,
00:11:57.400
it's disproportionately women and very often young women. The same women who psychologically cannot
00:12:04.480
detect the difference between a narcissistic psychopath predator and a strong, confident,
00:12:10.200
ambitious young man. Justin Trudeau has a liar's eyes, and so does Stephen Gilbo. Look at the eyes of
00:12:17.640
him in that picture in the CN Tower arrest. These two men will literally do or say anything to profit
00:12:26.620
in the moment. Both of them completely remorseless. You heard the story in the Globe and Mail.
00:12:32.020
They were laughing outside the court, even as they tricked the prosecutor. Oh, they're remorseful.
00:12:38.880
It's harder to trick a prosecutor than to trick a teenage girl, although I guess maybe not in that
00:12:44.280
case. Do you really think, for example, that they meant to deliver solar panels to Ralph Klein's house,
00:12:51.400
or that that was just a fundraising stunt? This is a test of your own naivete. Do you really think
00:12:56.920
that Stephen Gilbo and Justin Trudeau plan to transition off of fossil fuels? Do you really
00:13:02.680
think so? Trudeau, who has flown more on government jets than any other prime minister in history? Do you
00:13:08.740
really think that they want to transition off oil and gas, or just for you to transition off it? Will
00:13:15.820
they transition off of meat? Off of cars? They will not. They'll transition off of oil jobs. Of course,
00:13:26.120
they'll do that, but not their own jobs. Don't trust them. Never trust them. Stay with us more ahead.
00:13:45.820
Well, the Emergencies Act was a diabolical bonfire of Canadian civil liberties, utterly unjustified. I
00:13:53.340
tell you, I'm watching the mass protests in the streets of France. Literally millions of people,
00:13:59.660
by the way, they are truly rioting, burning things. There's massive strikes, garbage piling up
00:14:05.080
everywhere. The infrastructure of the country is grinding to a halt, and yet they have not put the
00:14:10.260
country under martial law. I see Israel, where hundreds of thousands of people are having a kind
00:14:16.040
of peaceful color revolution against Benjamin Netanyahu, and they have not put the country under
00:14:21.980
martial law. Only Canada, or more to the point, Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, something
00:14:27.680
not even done during 9-11, because there were some people honking their horns at him, and that was
00:14:34.760
causing him great embarrassment. Well, Justin Trudeau handpicked the judge to review him. That's a neat
00:14:41.120
trick, and surprise, surprise, the judge who oversaw the public inquiry said, well, maybe coulda,
00:14:48.960
shoulda, if you hold it just the right way and in the right light, maybe it was justified. It was a
00:14:54.100
disgraceful lack of independence by a judge, but that was a handpicked judge that Trudeau himself chose,
00:15:01.660
reviewing a mandate that Trudeau himself wrote. How about a regular judge, and instead of that judge
00:15:09.360
being given a limited mandate, what if someone went to court, to the federal court, in fact, and said
00:15:15.800
there was a legal error here, and we want a judicial review. We want the court to find that it was
00:15:24.080
illegal, not a touchy-feely commission. Well, what I've just described is happening today. And our friend
00:15:31.020
Ava Cipiuk, a lawyer who has worked with the Trucker Convoy, has been watching the trial all day.
00:15:37.580
She joins us now via Skype. Ava, great to see you again. Thanks for making the time. First of all,
00:15:43.000
correct any errors I have made. This is in federal court in Ottawa, and it is citizens who are applying
00:15:50.040
for, would you call it a judicial review? They're challenging the Emergencies Act
00:15:54.320
on its own basis. Tell me exactly, set the scene for us. Who are these people, and what are they
00:16:00.860
arguing? Yeah, so you've got that right, and it looks like there's four cases that have been
00:16:06.340
combined. Two are on behalf of actual citizens in Canada, and two are on Civil Liberties Association.
00:16:15.180
So two of those Civil Liberties Associations were involved in the Public Order Emergencies
00:16:20.260
Commission. And then you have regular Canadians that have applied to ask the court to determine
00:16:29.080
whether or not the Emergencies Act was justified. Got it. Now, I was reading your live tweeting of
00:16:35.820
the hearing, and it sounds like the government's lawyers are trying to head this off at the pass.
00:16:42.160
They're trying to make it so that this matter doesn't even proceed to trial. I understand they're
00:16:45.920
arguing two things. First of all, that it's moot, which is a lawyer's way of saying it's over.
00:16:52.220
There's no reason the court should consider it because it's done. Well, it would have been a
00:16:57.700
pretty fast judge who would have been able to meet, you know, in the nine days or so that martial law
00:17:03.200
was afoot. I don't know if that mootness argument will win. And then the second, and I'm just going by
00:17:08.080
your live tweets here, which I recommend that people check out for this real-time coverage,
00:17:12.280
which is that, which is standing, which is, if you go to court, you've got to have some connection
00:17:18.280
to the matters at issue. You can't just be a busybody. And it sounds like the government is
00:17:24.500
arguing that the people who are seeking a legal review of this are just busybodies that the court
00:17:29.960
shouldn't give any time to. Does that sum up what was happening today? The government was basically
00:17:35.340
saying, hey, judge, this is all over. This is old news. And these people don't have a right to be here.
00:17:41.000
Let's just all go home and have a beer. Was that what the government was saying?
00:17:44.560
Yeah, to some extent, exactly that. And, you know, I'm not involved in this
00:17:48.380
legal challenge. I'm just observing. And it was really hard to watch the crown, the federal lawyers
00:17:55.260
arguing that, especially on mootness. And it was good to see the judge challenge the lawyer there,
00:18:01.320
especially like you said, the court or the crown kind of suggested that this should have been
00:18:08.140
brought forward earlier. And while the emergencies act was invoked, and the judge was like, really,
00:18:14.800
you think they should have brought it within the nine days? Tell me what kind of evidence they would
00:18:19.280
have had in the nine days. And you're like, come on, crown, you have to be reasonable to a certain
00:18:24.480
extent. You can't expect regular Canadians to get all this in order in order to bring a sophisticated
00:18:32.880
challenge to court. And then if you don't bring a sophisticated challenge, then you're being booted
00:18:38.100
on that. So you can't have it both ways. And that's seems to be what the crown continues to argue in
00:18:44.440
these cases. And it's really disheartening to see Canadians should have their day in court. And why
00:18:50.100
is the crown so opposed to Canadians having their day in court? It's disturbing to see.
00:18:55.760
Yeah. Now, tell me about the lawyers arguing the case. You mentioned that you're not a lawyer in
00:19:02.220
the case you're observing it like the rest of us are. Can you tell us who the lawyers are? Can you
00:19:07.780
tell us a little bit more about the plaintiffs? I ask because sometimes it makes a real difference if
00:19:13.080
the lawyers are experienced, if they're making all the right arguments. You could have weak lawyers
00:19:20.320
that fumble it. I mean, it doesn't all turn on the lawyers, but the lawyers, the clients, the facts,
00:19:26.540
the arguments, these things obviously matter. And then in a minute, I'll ask you to tell us what
00:19:30.600
you can about the judge. So start off, who are the plaintiffs and who are their lawyer?
00:19:35.460
Yeah. So really good question. And I actually wish I had more on that, but I do know who the
00:19:40.320
applicants are. So it seems to be one nurse that has been very active, started an organization in
00:19:45.860
Ontario. And I don't have the name of the organization down packed, but it was like United
00:19:51.600
Nurses of Canada, something like that. I didn't mean to put you on the spot. I was just curious if
00:19:56.420
there was anyone famous, like a civil liberties advocate, although you and I could probably count
00:20:01.560
on one hand, the number of civil liberties lawyers in this country. Unfortunately, most of them went on
00:20:07.120
a holiday for the last year. And how about on the government side? How many lawyers are there on the
00:20:12.960
government side? Well, probably a whole team full, but we, I think you could see five or so on the
00:20:19.220
screen. And I'm assuming there's at least double or triple behind the scenes helping. That's how it
00:20:23.880
generally is. So a huge team on that end. And there are some, like I said, some of the civil liberties
00:20:30.240
associations that were involved in the public order emergencies inquiry, like just, just before
00:20:34.880
today's break, Eva Krajewska from the Canadian Constitutional Liberties Foundation was up.
00:20:42.240
And giving her arguments and doing a great job. Like, you know, some of these people have been
00:20:47.340
on this for a year, including her, when she was actively involved in the public order emergencies
00:20:52.400
inquiry. So you got, you have some good lawyers, definitely. Some really interesting arguments were
00:20:58.860
made today. And on the side of the Crown, it was, like I said earlier, a bit disappointing to see
00:21:05.520
that those were the arguments the Crown was making. And to be perfectly honest, I don't think they were
00:21:10.900
incredibly strong. And I don't think the advocacy was that incredible on the Crown side.
00:21:17.160
What can you tell me about the judge? I understand the judge's name is Judge Mosley.
00:21:21.860
You mentioned that the judge was pushing back on the mootness question, basically mocking the,
00:21:26.960
or challenging the prosecution and says, well, your honor, they should have brought it
00:21:31.260
when the martial law was afoot. Is there anything else you can tell us? I mean, judges are pretty good
00:21:35.940
keeping a poker face. And just because they're asking a question doesn't mean they necessarily
00:21:40.460
have that point of view. They like to poke and prod and get some responses, sometimes just out of sheer
00:21:46.080
curiosity, I think. Did the judge show any interest in an issue or an argument? Or was there anything
00:21:56.340
you can read from how the judge conducted themselves? Yeah, well, I was really positive and hopeful at the
00:22:04.060
start, again, probably because the Crown was being challenged quite a bit. And then we got into the
00:22:08.960
arguments of the various applicants. And the one thing of particular concern that the judge said,
00:22:15.680
and I do want to make a note of, is that he said that he was challenging an applicant talking about
00:22:26.140
the reasonableness of the invocation. And he said, well, you, on coercion, that was it. So
00:22:31.760
the argument was made by the Crown that, you know, people in Ottawa were basically coerced to join and
00:22:39.080
be part or get involved or let go of the protests because he said they occupied the streets and didn't
00:22:46.820
allow them to leave. And what's particularly concerning from what I heard is the judge said,
00:22:53.240
you saw the news articles that the Crown submitted as evidence. That's concerning. I know you would
00:23:02.500
understand because that's not evidence news articles. If the whole federal government couldn't find a
00:23:08.920
couple people in Ottawa to give actual evidence that they were blockaded in their house, that's very
00:23:17.080
telling, in my opinion. If they're relying on news articles to suggest that people couldn't leave their
00:23:24.260
house and the judge seems to have... You know, it's terrifying to me the amount of news media equals the
00:23:32.180
facts. I mean, I watched the public order inquiry and they were just, you know, politician after
00:23:38.880
politician or even police claimed certain things happened. And when they were pressed for a source,
00:23:43.920
they said, oh, I didn't actually witness it. I just read about it. It showed the power of gossip and
00:23:48.880
rumors. And it was said more than once that the number one source of misinformation and disinformation
00:23:55.240
was the federal government itself. Hey, let me ask you this question. I know you were not in the
00:24:01.140
physical courtroom itself, but do you get the sense that this hearing is being covered by other media?
00:24:08.360
I know you can't really see that, but did you notice even online were other reporters from other
00:24:14.800
agencies tweeting about it, for example? I suppose we'll see in the papers tomorrow and the TV tonight.
00:24:21.860
Do you think they're watching this or have they sort of written this off as too boring because they
00:24:27.360
already have their answer from the commission a month ago? Yeah, my guess has to be no, because
00:24:33.980
my feed just went crazy and I'm not even that incredibly popular on it, but it's been really
00:24:41.100
well received and people are sharing it. I got to the point that I can't even post any more tweets,
00:24:47.140
which is a bit frustrating. So I had the whole afternoon that hasn't even been made public,
00:24:52.020
but it looks to me that nobody else is really reporting on this. And I am concerned that it is
00:24:59.560
what you suggested, that people are relying on the Public Order Emergency Commission results.
00:25:04.840
And there was a lot of vagueness about what exactly is evidence. So in that case, you know,
00:25:11.920
fine, put up a news article, but that's not what evidence is in a court case. And I was very hopeful
00:25:17.760
that in federal court, that would not be sufficient to be evidence. So I really hope that at least
00:25:24.980
we get a real judge listening to real evidence and coming up with a real decision about whether or not
00:25:32.100
the Emergencies Act was invoked. And we'll see, like you said, tomorrow if anyone else is talking about
00:25:38.960
it. Yeah. Well, you know, I allowed my hopes to get too high with Justice Rolo and his commission.
00:25:44.920
And, um, you know, the old saying, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. You
00:25:50.020
probably know that saying. And, and it means you can be forgiven once for being naive and gullible,
00:25:54.720
but if it happens a second time, you should have known better. And I'm not going to get my hopes
00:25:58.300
too high, Ava, because I, uh, they were high. I, I, I falsely hoped that the commission of inquiry
00:26:05.080
would say what was so painfully evident to me, but no, he found a way to exonerate Trudeau. Well,
00:26:09.780
listen, thank you for your coverage. I want to encourage people to follow you on Twitter.
00:26:13.820
Uh, Ava's, uh, Twitter account will have the link on the page, but it is forever Ava 79 F O R E V A E V A
00:26:22.980
79. And I really appreciate you live for you. And I see you got a lot of interactions, which tells me
00:26:28.660
that people are very curious about this. Thanks very much. Keep up the great work. Nice to see you
00:26:32.820
again. Likewise. Thanks for having me. Right on. There you have it. Ava Chipia covering the federal
00:26:37.500
court challenge, uh, the review of the emergencies act in court, uh, stay with us. Your letters to me
00:26:43.440
next. Hey, welcome back. Your letters to me. Wayne says, hi, Ezra. The last two to three years have
00:26:59.360
seen an exodus of the conscientious cops, such that the remainder are not much more than glorified
00:27:04.400
security for Antifa and black lives matter goons. When cops stand with folded arms while real social
00:27:10.460
crime goes unpunished, perhaps they should be defunded better to deal with only thugs than a
00:27:16.300
cabal of thugs and cops. You know what? We just put up a petition fire officer Bachman. Um, it's a crazy
00:27:25.000
case, uh, involving, uh, a man named billboard. Chris, that's obviously not his, uh, the name his mama
00:27:31.180
gave him, but that's how he's known online. And he goes and he stands quietly and peacefully at
00:27:36.140
transgender protests with simple signs. Um, you can see an image of it and he's always physically
00:27:43.740
attacked always. Um, but what makes me think of that in your letters case is that there was this
00:27:50.560
Vancouver cop, Frederick Rieke Bachman, who was standing there watching the assault, laughing at it
00:27:58.500
and saying, well, here, I'll, I'll let you watch the video yourself. Take a look.
00:28:02.880
Why, why do you think that they're getting that kind of representation? I mean, it's, uh, clearly was, uh,
00:28:08.560
aggressive violence. You suck. You suck. Fuck you. Fuck you. You're not wanted. Fuck you. You're,
00:28:14.740
you're a fucking idiot. You're a fucking idiot. I don't know what to say. I guess these police officers
00:28:18.820
are mostly indoctrinated as well. Everyone here, they're afraid of the mob.
00:28:23.200
Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Hey, get your fucking ass off.
00:28:30.540
Get your fucking ass off. Get your fucking ass off. Get your fucking ass off.
00:28:34.760
You son of a bitch. You son of a bitch. You're a bitch. You're a bitch. You're a bitch.
00:28:38.120
Oh my God. Listen, I, I love the police. My brother's a police officer.
00:28:43.560
I respect law and order. I respect our chart of rights and freedoms. And I'm not trying
00:28:50.040
to be a jerk to you earlier today. I don't think a lot of you understand what I'm actually
00:28:55.300
representing and the seriousness of this situation. But it is what it is, I guess. I just, this
00:29:04.980
is Canada and people shouldn't be allowed to assault people without consequence, you know?
00:29:09.300
I mean, Chris, but the thing is, right, um, when we get into people's faces and they
00:29:14.040
get into our faces, it doesn't really matter who does the first push. It's considered a
00:29:19.320
consensual fight. And maybe that's something you should...
00:29:22.040
I didn't, no, no, you, that's, I didn't get into people's faces. I was here for...
00:29:28.700
You weren't here. You weren't even here. I was...
00:29:41.440
Are you kidding me? I'd walked, we'd, I'd been walking away from them.
00:29:45.440
To do an interview with him. They came close. I walked away again to do the interview with him.
00:29:50.560
What I'm saying is, at this point, maybe you should ask your brother what a consensual fight it is, right?
00:29:54.700
Oh my gosh, this is unbelievable. I've walked away from them three times, they were surrounding me,
00:30:01.340
you all were doing nothing, a man yelled at my, a man yelled in my ear from inches away,
00:30:07.260
and I tried to get out of this situation where they're surrounding me while you guys do nothing,
00:30:12.060
and I immediately get punched in the face. And you're blaming me?
00:30:20.060
Oh my gosh, this is totally surreal. I cannot believe what I'm hearing.
00:30:38.540
Do you even know what, like, why are you behaving like this?
00:30:42.220
Do you think I'm evil or something for having this position? Like, what's your problem?
00:30:45.260
Yeah, you are female, and this should be an issue for you.
00:30:50.460
Excuse me, this has nothing to do with you, okay?
00:30:53.020
I'm a female, it has nothing to do with me, this trans thing. No, no, nothing to do with women.
00:30:59.100
I'm talking to somebody else about something, okay?
00:31:02.060
It doesn't, these conversations are pointless right now. You're trying to, now you're trying to insinuate that that was a mutual thing.
00:31:07.820
Like, my gosh, mutual thing. I'd walked away from the crowd three times, they kept following me, then they surrounded me from all sides, started yelling in my ear from inches away, while you all did nothing.
00:31:19.900
And then when I can't even get out of that surrounding, and I get punched in the face, I get pulled.
00:31:35.660
You have the right not to be here either, right?
00:31:41.820
Have you read this thing called the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
00:31:48.220
What an absolute disgrace to the force. Since then, the deputy police chief has come out in favor of the cop, not the victim of crime.
00:31:55.980
What an absolute disgrace. We have a petition at FireOfficerBachman.com.
00:32:03.020
Yes, I think you should think about the cops. Your show tonight talks about the cops and what they did in Ottawa to Alexa and others.
00:32:08.860
If they did that in Ottawa than they did in Coots, probably fits the same bill, and framing the four guys would be possible.
00:32:15.980
Remember, they were the ones that vandalized those three track hoes.
00:32:19.540
By the way, I never heard of any of them being charged for that. I still think you should give more attention to those four guys and the cops and the legal system that still has them in jail. Thanks for the great job you do.
00:32:29.940
Well, thanks for that friendly letter. We just did, the Democracy Fund, I believe, just finished paying for the legal representation of a man in the Lethbridge-Coutts area who was facing certain charges.
00:32:47.060
I don't have all the details in front of me. We are, between Rebel News and the Democracy Fund, defending over 30 truckers.
00:32:53.280
And I remain open to support for the four men who were accused of conspiracy to commit murder.
00:32:59.840
But I, you've heard me say this before, you can understand why I'm reluctant to take money that was crowdfunded by donors to support peaceful protesters to defend people who were charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
00:33:11.860
I do accept the premise of your point, which is there's a chance this whole thing is a fake, a frame-up, a stitch-up, a put-up, that this is just a PR stunt to demonize the truckers as violent.
00:33:24.540
I accept that that's a possibility. But until we know that that is what happened here, I cannot in good conscience take donations that came in in $50 and $100 increments from viewers for peaceful protesters and spend it on legal defense for those who may have been part of a conspiracy to commit murder.
00:33:42.840
I understand that they're innocent until proven guilty. I'm open to learning more about their case and I'm open to possibly defending them in the future.
00:33:53.520
But not until I have some more confidence that the accusation against them is false.
00:33:59.820
That's my point of view. If you disagree with it, I respect that.
00:34:03.080
But please try and see it from my point of view as a decider and as the recipient of the crowdfunding funds.
00:34:17.740
James O'Keefe is investigating Act Blue. Seems that there may be a scandal about to break.
00:34:22.960
Yeah, I'm enjoying following James O'Keefe's new OMG, O'Keefe Media Group.
00:34:31.720
I was very sad when he broke paths, imparted ways with Project Veritas, which he founded and ran for, what, 13 years or something.
00:34:42.540
I really wish that that would have been more harmonious and he would have stayed there.
00:34:47.540
I think he was in so many ways the leader of that, not just journalistically, but fundraising wise and in the media.
00:34:58.920
But hopefully his new project will be a success.
00:35:02.540
I don't know if the remains of Project Veritas will continue.
00:35:08.340
I don't know who could possibly fill those shoes.
00:35:10.560
But yeah, I am watching James O'Keefe with great interest.
00:35:15.380
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you and home, good night.
