Hello, my Rebels. One of the best things about Rebel News is our coverage of the pandemic.
00:00:03.700
We try to tell the other side of the story. I think someone should. You never know. The other
00:00:07.740
side of the story may have truth that the dominant narrative lacks. We have to have a clash of ideas,
00:00:13.880
the marketplace of ideas, not just government-mandated ideas. That's today's podcast.
00:00:21.680

Tonight, a compilation of the best of Rebel News' pandemic reporting. It's December 28th,
00:01:07.460
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:11.060
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:15.140
The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher, is because it's my bloody
00:01:36.880
You're in an assault! You're in vain! This is assault!
00:01:39.960
Move back! Move back! Move back! Move back! Move back!
00:01:52.460
And then their kids are going to grow up and remember them!
00:01:55.840
They threw the Charter of Rights out the window.
00:02:02.640
And we're not vandalizing stuff or burning stuff or anything like that or mom-and-pop plays
00:02:07.120
what these buggers do, and they get away with it.
00:02:17.560
Pro ізBill going torets! Trying to leave the area!
00:02:58.800
Why don't I have the right to speak what's on my heart?
00:03:06.040
Mainstream media has decided to sit this one out.
00:03:15.200
The people who own everything in this world, they tell us we will own nothing and be happy.
00:03:32.200
Officer, why are these protesters not allowed to protest and people like you took the knee for Black Lives Matter in the summer?
00:03:39.200
I'm not going to leave a communist country to my kids or anyone else's kids.
00:03:45.200
I know the mainstream media is not here because they probably support censorious thugs like you.
00:03:51.200
I know people need to see this. People need to see this.
00:03:54.200
If you don't give an ID, that'll be obstructing. You can't be arrested for that.
00:03:59.200
Are you saying the media is not exempt? Can you say that on camera?
00:04:03.200
The media is exempt, but it's like 2.4 and stuff like that, right?
00:04:11.200
Our ancestors fought and died so that we could be free.
00:04:19.200
These men are urinating and defecating on the cenotaphs of every dead soldier across Canada.
00:04:27.200
So would you like to leave or not? Then please leave.
00:06:59.200
In the last year we have seen arbitrary rules that make no sense.
00:07:05.200
Governments doing whatever they want in Quebec, in Ontario, Canada and the States and all over the world.
00:07:23.200
Is that like what you signed up for the police for?
00:07:27.200
They're the top gang in the city and they can do whatever they want.
00:07:30.200
And then they leave because they show their force.
00:07:34.200
And then you know a few days later or weeks later they come back and do it again.
00:07:39.200
Is there a big threat going on in the area or a terrorist attack?
00:07:43.200
And it's always well we have to protect people, it's this, it's that.
00:07:50.200
Tonight is not a busy night in terms of curfew and crackdown.
00:07:56.200
But we're gonna drive around a bit, see what's going on.
00:08:02.200

00:13:24.320

00:13:31.760

00:13:40.720

here are the bugs here are the bugs here come the bugs
00:14:49.360
Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!
00:15:10.360
You're going to be deploying tear gas and other non-lethal weapons.
00:15:14.160
They will taser you. They have already arrested one of our reporters after physically assaulting him.
00:15:22.640
This is the police brutality we have come here to observe.
00:15:44.160
Sorry, speak English. I don't know what you're saying.
00:16:06.140
Watch your fucking bike, watch your fucking bike.
00:16:12.720
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.
00:16:18.680
Because you have no valid reason to be outside after curfew.
00:16:31.460
Officer, can you tell me why you're clamping down on members of the Jewish community in Montreal?
00:16:37.240
Is there no other pressing crime in Montreal right now?
00:17:10.000
You are targeting me because I'm recording, right?
00:17:38.100
You want to record, you can record, there's no problem.
00:18:06.680
So what we'll do is I'm going to make the tickets.
00:18:09.240
You're going to have to sit in the car because I have to verify your identity.
00:18:33.200
So as you guys just saw it, this lady was just caution to not wear the mask upside.
00:18:43.880
You're going to touch that mask with naked hands and give it to us?
00:18:51.960
And you have a mask because you have to wear a mask.
00:18:55.800
Okay, you can't give me hundreds of tickets, that's okay.
00:18:58.860
I'm not going to wear a mask that you touch like that.
00:19:05.900
I'm going to talk to you about the law of the Santé Public, okay?
00:19:24.400
She was ready to go to the end, to take the ticket without any problem, and go to the prison.
00:19:32.220
Right now, it's 5 past 10, 35 minutes after the curfew.
00:19:55.020
So I would like to know if you're going to respect it.
00:19:58.360
All right now, they ask for the people who are filming to show their papers that prove that they are actually essential.
00:20:28.340
They ask you for your identification for both of you.
00:20:55.340
Can I ask you for your identification for both of you?
00:20:58.340
Because you're going to be charged for trespassing right now.
00:21:08.340
We were lied to, saying it was under construction.
00:21:10.340
And we've been told that the people here that are being incarcerated are being lied to,
00:21:19.340
You know, I'd like to say to the police officers here that there is a crime being committed,
00:21:25.340
and it's being committed by this hotel, by the people that are incarcerated in it.
00:21:40.340
You're going to get arrested then for, okay, for failed to identify.
00:21:48.340
Okay, you're going to have to put your date, birth, and address.
00:21:49.340
Remember how four months ago, Justin Trudeau told us that this was a conspiracy theory.
00:21:57.340
Yeah, and I remember clearly a couple months ago, Randy Hillier, when he raised
00:22:11.340
They laughed at him, but wow, it looks like he was prophetic.
00:22:15.340
Here in violation of the reopening of Ontario Act, gathering with a crowd of more than five people.
00:22:20.340
So that's a pre-written ticket again, just for the record.
00:22:32.340
Fail to maintain a distance of at least two meters from another person.
00:22:51.340
I know you guys are just doing your job, but this is unbelievable.
00:23:05.340
What do you have to say to like this government and let's say, you know, Doug Ford's watching
00:23:16.340
So guys watching, I've been trespassed for simply reporting and putting it on my blast.
00:23:19.340
Cause they're, they're afraid to see this in public.
00:23:22.340
They're afraid to see what they're doing in Hamilton, Ontario.
00:23:25.340
And I've been trespassed for simply holding the camera to them.
00:23:31.340
Can you explain for what, for what reason were you guys ticketed?
00:23:46.340
Either all of us have rates or none of us have rates.
00:23:52.340
And if you don't think these people should have rates,
00:24:07.340
I think our pandemic coverage over the last two years, really,
00:24:11.340
has been the highlight of Rebel News in our entire existence, almost seven years now.
00:24:15.340
And I think it comes back to our motto, which is, you know,
00:24:23.340
You know, our very first motto, I don't know if you know this,
00:24:33.340
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:24:40.340
Have a Tamamland Village in trustees with theyear school,
00:24:49.340
Jennifer Croce, the road takes out this challenge,
00:24:57.340
They'll getboard at the right time and do tonight.
