Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I'm going to spend the whole show talking about the U.S. court case
00:00:04.200 that threw out Joe Biden's illegal mask mandate for airplanes and trains and whatnot.
00:00:13.760 It's shocking that it took so long to get to court, but hey, in Canada, not one of our cases
00:00:19.740 has gotten to the Supreme Court on lockdowns. And those that have been to lower courts,
00:00:24.340 not one lockdown-ist piece of legislation has been struck down. So although it's late,
00:00:34.060 it's better than anything we have up here. I won't give away my thoughts now. I'll take you
00:00:37.940 through it. Before I do, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. Just go
00:00:42.640 to rebelnewsplus.com. It's the video version of the show. Today, we got a great interview with
00:00:46.300 my friend Janine Yunus, who's a civil liberties lawyer in America who fights against these sorts
00:00:52.040 of things. She'll go through the ruling with me. Just go to rebelnewsplus.com. Eight bucks a month,
00:00:57.060 you get my daily video show, plus weekly shows from four other teams here. It's a lot of stuff.
00:01:03.200 And eight bucks a month, it's not a ton of dough, if I may say so, but it adds up for us. And that's
00:01:08.280 how we keep the lights on here, because we don't take any of that Trudeau money, unlike most of our
00:01:12.400 competitors. All right, here's today's show.
00:01:22.040 Tonight, airlines in the United States have abandoned their mask mandates, and a New Zealand
00:01:34.820 airline dropped their vaccine mandates. So, what's Canada's excuse since April 19th? This
00:01:40.920 is the Eyes for the Man Show.
00:01:41.940 It's atrocious that it took so long, but at least it happened. Yesterday, a U.S. judge struck down as
00:02:10.220 illegal the mask rule that applied to airlines in America. And as a sign of just how hated
00:02:16.300 these mask rules were, airplanes that were literally in flight, in the air, immediately
00:02:21.600 announced this court ruling on the PA system, and passengers spontaneously cheered and ripped
00:02:29.280 off their masks. Let me show you a few videos of that. Here's a Delta Airlines flight.
00:02:34.000 And I just checked with the company, and the company position is, the Delta position is,
00:02:39.060 masks will be optional this evening for all crew and passengers as well. So, it is cause to celebrate,
00:02:46.140 but for those who want to wear masks, please feel free to, but it is optional, and that way we can
00:02:52.800 alleviate any stress and discomfort. Thank you very much.
00:02:56.840 Here's another one.
00:02:58.140 April 18th, the Biden administration announced that the Transportation Security Administration
00:03:02.640 will no longer enforce the federal mandate requiring masks in all U.S. airports and onboard aircraft.
00:03:09.060 I can't tell which airline this next one's from, but a flight attendant singing,
00:03:23.560 Throw Away Your Masks.
00:03:24.800 Throw Away Your Masks.
00:03:25.100 Throw Away Your Masks.
00:03:34.980 Everyone hated the masks. Well, that's not quite true, is it? Some people love the masks. I don't
00:03:41.840 think anyone actually enjoys the anti-human discomfort of wearing a mask themselves. There's a reason why
00:03:49.180 no one wore them until two years ago. It's nuts. It's uncomfortable. It doesn't work. It gets in the way
00:03:55.520 of social interactions. You only did it if you were, you know, doing drywall or painting, but
00:04:00.120 people love a new rule, a rule they can follow themselves for some sort of social clout,
00:04:06.900 and a rule they can enforce against others as some sort of social clout. It became a symbol.
00:04:11.600 Us versus them, our team versus their team, and the teams were pretty political. Good people wore masks,
00:04:18.240 so wearing a mask proved you were good. This is a classic tweet from a liberal activist. This is from last year.
00:04:27.040 How can I ensure people don't think I'm a Republican? She wanted to take her mask off,
00:04:31.720 but kept it on because she wanted people to know she was a Democrat. Now, she didn't say,
00:04:35.900 how can I ensure I won't get sick or make others sick? No one believed the mask would stop that. All
00:04:42.280 the mask scolds who approached you to hector you. You don't approach someone you're medically afraid
00:04:48.600 of. You wouldn't go and talk to someone with Ebola, would you? You run from them. But the mask was a
00:04:53.940 team symbol, a belief symbol, a signal to others. I want to remind you how the mask changed us,
00:05:00.620 pitted us against each other. Not the mask itself. No one cares if you wear a mask. The mask mandate,
00:05:07.800 the mask rules, the force masking. That's what changed us. So many people embraced the force
00:05:14.520 part of it. Look at this creep. Get away from me. Put your fucking mask on. I'm sorry,
00:05:19.420 you can walk away from me right now, sir. Put your mask on. Get away from me. Put it on. Does it
00:05:24.100 bother anybody else that she doesn't have to wear a mask that we all do? Just go away. Stay six feet away
00:05:28.780 from me then. No. Get away from me. No. Please get away from me right now. No. You don't need to
00:05:36.140 come near me. She has it on her damn hand. Get away from me. That's from 2020. Here's what I wrote
00:05:43.540 about that at the time. This guy is a creepy, snitchy stalker. The mask gives him the anonymity
00:05:49.720 to behave in a way he normally wouldn't. He isn't truly worried. He walks to her, not away. But
00:05:55.740 there is another undercurrent. He hates that he is submissive and she is not. Of course,
00:06:02.900 he's not wearing the mask over his nose. It's uncomfortable. And he obviously doesn't think
00:06:06.880 it's necessary to stay safe. He just liked the power of it. Here's some transit bureaucrat in
00:06:12.860 Philadelphia. No mask. Telling other people to put on masks or to walk.
00:06:17.940 Public transportation. If you do not have a mask, you cannot ride public transportation,
00:06:24.460 sir. Sir. You have to get off the bus. You have to get off the bus. Sir. Sir.
00:06:33.100 You have to get off. You have to get off. You have to get off. You have to get off. Let's
00:06:52.420 go. I have to get off? Yes, sir. You don't have no mask. Let's go. Let's go. You got to get
00:06:58.780 off. Let's go. At least people were in that video resistant at first for a bit. That was
00:07:04.440 very early. That was April 2020. But now total compliance. And the thing is, a mask scold in a
00:07:10.980 store really had no power other than his sense of righteousness. And having a train conductor or
00:07:17.220 bus conductor become a health inspector, it's quite something. But by far, and to their eternal
00:07:22.720 discredit, police forces around the country and around the world turn wearing a rag on your face
00:07:27.840 as a test of whether or not you were to be treated like a violent criminal.
00:07:33.660 Here's 10 cops on a beach in Australia, arresting someone for not wearing a mask on a beach,
00:07:38.940 arresting him, pummeling him.
00:07:40.660 I can't. I can't because you're on. I can't because you're on.
00:07:44.960 It's a man. It's a man.
00:07:48.680 Man or whatever.
00:07:52.980 Fucking have some respect.
00:07:54.500 Please just give that girl my phone.
00:07:57.840 Put it in my bag, please.
00:07:59.660 No social distancing?
00:08:01.100 Yep.
00:08:02.780 What the hell?
00:08:05.000 I haven't done anything.
00:08:06.360 Oh, we believe you. Don't worry.
00:08:08.620 He's a 14-year-old kid who was wearing a mask. Not just wearing it right, apparently. He was
00:08:13.760 wearing it, but not correctly. Not sure where this was from. Brazil, maybe.
00:08:18.560 Oh, we serve here, papual.
00:08:27.780 Oh, no, apretes tanto.
00:08:29.480 No, apretes, abusado.
00:08:30.840 You guy, you guy.
00:08:32.240 Sello is the אני,
00:08:37.340 L 벗.
00:08:38.140 Here's a 69-year-old woman arrested and handcuffed for not wearing a mask in a park.
00:09:08.140 Here's a group of security guards at a Canadian mall just pounding the daylights out of a man who's actually a Canadian forces vet.
00:09:38.140 Because he wasn't wearing a mask.
00:09:39.420 Now, he was leaving the mall, walking out with his pregnant wife, but the mall security thought they would teach him a lesson in public health.
00:09:49.140 Hey! Hey!
00:09:52.380 What the fuck are you doing, bro?
00:09:55.200 What the fuck are you doing, bro?
00:09:57.380 Get the fuck off me!
00:10:01.240 Get the fuck off me!
00:10:02.300 Are you kidding me?
00:10:03.560 No, I'm not!
00:10:04.520 Get the fuck off me!
00:10:05.160 Don't!
00:10:05.920 Get the fuck off me!
00:10:07.140 Get off me!
00:10:08.540 Get off him!
00:10:09.540 Get the fuck off me!
00:10:10.660 This is a racist fucking bullshit!
00:10:13.420 Get the fuck off me!
00:10:15.200 Get off me, bro!
00:10:17.240 Get off him!
00:10:19.080 Get off me!
00:10:20.320 Put your hand on your back.
00:10:22.340 Get off me!
00:10:23.100 What?
00:10:25.320 Get the fuck off me, bro!
00:10:27.380 Put your hand on your back.
00:10:28.320 He's in the middle here.
00:10:29.720 You guys are so stupid.
00:10:31.000 Here's another one from a Tim Hortons.
00:10:33.960 Pepper stray and a choke hold.
00:10:35.900 Here's another one from a Tim Hortons.
00:10:37.580 Pepper stray and a choke hold.
00:10:40.460 For a mask.
00:10:42.160 There he goes somewhere out there.
00:10:43.960 The Memorial 40x.
00:10:44.540 He's in the middle of those.
00:10:45.720 Have a dog been on Anderson.
00:10:47.920 He's in the corner of those Joanna.
00:10:49.760 Peter never saw me huge the way out there만ically.
00:10:52.340 Hold on.
00:10:52.940 Let's go ahead and see.
00:10:54.040 Take off me.
00:10:55.060 I cannot find that negative?
00:10:56.700 This stuff?
00:10:57.860 Are you serious?
00:10:58.400 It's not abusive?
00:10:59.300 To have a mask?
00:11:00.600 Not an investigative story?
00:11:02.780 Truth.
00:11:05.760 What does that make your mask allow?
00:11:07.500 You want to see something super gross?
00:11:31.560 This is a funeral in the United Kingdom.
00:11:33.860 It's my privilege to have been asked to conduct our service today
00:11:40.580 to celebrate the life of Alan Wright.
00:11:45.600 I therefore offer you all a very warm welcome
00:11:48.000 as we unite in love and friendship.
00:11:50.540 We did that.
00:12:09.180 We agreed to that.
00:12:09.980 We abided that.
00:12:11.280 We accepted that.
00:12:12.120 And some of us were thrilled by that.
00:12:13.900 Some of us got involved with that
00:12:15.240 as volunteer enforcers of that,
00:12:17.580 enablers at the very least.
00:12:21.460 You know, I've shown you this photo before.
00:12:23.220 We all say we would have been different in the 1930s.
00:12:26.140 We'd have been the guy with the circle around him here,
00:12:28.100 August Landmaster, the one guy,
00:12:30.000 not saluting Hitler and a mob of Nazis.
00:12:31.840 Yeah, no, you wouldn't have.
00:12:33.540 At least not 99% of you.
00:12:35.300 So I'm pretty thrilled
00:12:36.320 that the masks on the planes are gone,
00:12:38.920 in America at least.
00:12:39.800 And I'm thrilled to see the true joy from passengers
00:12:42.600 and flight attendants and pilots alike.
00:12:44.720 In a small way, they were liberated,
00:12:46.460 a bit like the day the Berlin Wall came down,
00:12:49.040 except the Soviet bloc never had the audacity
00:12:51.460 to monitor or regulate even what you wore on your face
00:12:54.580 or how you sat at a funeral
00:12:56.280 or who you had at your house.
00:12:58.060 Even the cruel Soviets did not ban children
00:13:00.700 from playing outside.
00:13:02.540 They're putting up the tape here
00:13:05.420 at the playground again in Caterina.
00:13:11.460 And a lot of them came to wait to see
00:13:14.260 that it was going to tape it up again.
00:13:17.020 And they are.
00:13:18.120 Yeah, no outdoors playing, no sports, no exercise.
00:13:25.360 Stay at home and subscribe to Netflix and Disney Plus
00:13:28.920 and order in fast food.
00:13:30.820 That's the public health message.
00:13:32.540 Two years of obedience to that.
00:13:34.280 So yeah, glad to see the cheers,
00:13:36.240 including from the flight attendant enforcers
00:13:37.640 who until one minute prior
00:13:39.200 would have threatened to kick you off the plane
00:13:40.880 for not wearing a mask.
00:13:43.640 Hey, what's that line?
00:13:45.000 We get right.
00:13:45.780 We were just following orders.
00:13:46.860 Well, within hours of that ruling,
00:13:50.020 the court judgment ricocheted across America.
00:13:55.460 Uber lifts its mask mandate requirement,
00:13:58.600 telling customers,
00:14:00.180 if you ever feel uncomfortable,
00:14:01.960 you can always cancel the trip.
00:14:04.800 Yeah, look, no one's going to cancel their trip.
00:14:07.140 They're just going to complain about it,
00:14:08.820 tweet about it,
00:14:10.080 humiliate the working class drivers about it
00:14:12.280 if they're not masking up.
00:14:14.580 Here's the White House Jen Psaki,
00:14:16.040 a spokesman for Biden.
00:14:17.120 But really, I think she's more accurately
00:14:20.100 called a shadow president
00:14:21.260 or even a real vice president.
00:14:22.820 Listen to her.
00:14:23.940 First, the federal judge in Florida
00:14:25.440 says the CDC exceeded its authority
00:14:28.120 with the mask mandate in airports.
00:14:30.720 What's the White House position?
00:14:32.400 The CDC recommended continuing the order
00:14:34.640 for additional time, two weeks,
00:14:36.520 to be able to assess the latest science
00:14:39.180 in keeping with its responsibility
00:14:40.840 to protect the American people.
00:14:42.960 So this is obviously a disappointing decision.
00:14:45.780 The CDC continues recommending
00:14:47.440 wearing a mask in public transit.
00:14:49.620 As you know, this just came out this afternoon.
00:14:51.660 So right now, the Department of Homeland Security,
00:14:53.980 who would be implementing,
00:14:55.260 and the CDC are reviewing the decision.
00:14:57.120 And of course, the Department of Justice
00:14:58.520 would make any determinations about litigation.
00:15:01.600 That's an interesting answer.
00:15:02.940 The CDC said only wanted the mask mandate
00:15:05.940 for two more weeks.
00:15:07.140 Now, that's a laugh.
00:15:08.240 This whole lockdown
00:15:08.840 was supposed to only last two weeks.
00:15:10.600 So the word means nothing.
00:15:12.480 But this court ruling literally came in
00:15:14.240 at the last moment.
00:15:16.800 99% done.
00:15:18.180 Psaki said they're considering litigation,
00:15:20.400 by which she means considering
00:15:21.440 trying to appeal the decision.
00:15:23.460 I'm pretty sure she won't,
00:15:24.480 because although she truly does love masks
00:15:27.020 and lockdowns,
00:15:27.940 for the little people, of course,
00:15:29.200 not for herself,
00:15:30.080 people hate it.
00:15:30.960 And they hate lockdowns.
00:15:32.240 And for Biden to go to court
00:15:33.660 to fight to bring back forced masks now
00:15:36.540 would be a disaster in the fall elections,
00:15:38.880 just half a year away.
00:15:39.960 By the way, the judge did not say
00:15:41.800 that mask laws are illegal.
00:15:44.300 She just said that the CDC,
00:15:45.980 which stands for the Centers for Disease Control,
00:15:47.640 is basically a group of health bureaucrats.
00:15:49.520 The judge just said
00:15:50.400 they don't have the power
00:15:51.180 to write laws like that.
00:15:53.120 So the Democrats,
00:15:54.320 who control both the Houses of Congress
00:15:55.860 and the White House,
00:15:57.240 they could pass the law properly.
00:15:58.760 Of course, I don't think they will.
00:16:00.420 This judge did them a huge favor, actually,
00:16:02.400 removed a deeply unpopular policy for them,
00:16:05.600 helps them save face on the whole thing.
00:16:07.620 Here's an angry journalist, though.
00:16:12.180 Upset that the federal mask mandate
00:16:14.000 for transit and planes has been struck down?
00:16:16.860 Blame federal judge Catherine Kimball-Mazell,
00:16:19.480 the 35-year-old Trump appointee
00:16:21.520 who made the ruling.
00:16:22.780 She was rated not qualified
00:16:24.220 by the American Bar Association.
00:16:26.960 Of course, because the American Bar Association
00:16:28.640 is a left-wing lawyers union,
00:16:30.900 just like the Canadian Bar Association is.
00:16:32.980 It's just Democrats.
00:16:33.800 She seems pretty qualified to me,
00:16:37.080 but it's true, she is young.
00:16:39.000 The Democrats normally don't mind
00:16:40.320 young people in politics.
00:16:41.400 They want 16-year-olds to vote.
00:16:43.380 They're awfully dedicated
00:16:44.980 to teaching radical gender theory
00:16:46.600 to children in kindergarten or grade school.
00:16:49.360 What they hate about Judge Mizell
00:16:51.180 is not that she's young or even a woman.
00:16:54.000 They hate that she's a conservative
00:16:56.020 who upholds the Constitution.
00:16:58.240 That's what they really hate about her.
00:17:00.480 I love this picture here.
00:17:01.820 I don't know if you've seen it.
00:17:02.760 Here she is with Justice Clarence Thomas.
00:17:04.920 She clerked for him.
00:17:06.040 He's the most conservative judge
00:17:07.880 on the Supreme Court.
00:17:08.860 They hate him, too,
00:17:09.980 because he's conservative,
00:17:10.900 not because he's black.
00:17:13.020 That's why they hate her.
00:17:14.000 It's a 59-page ruling,
00:17:16.100 but let me read just two sentences from it
00:17:18.320 right at the end.
00:17:20.600 She says,
00:17:21.220 it is indisputable
00:17:22.500 that the public
00:17:23.180 has a strong interest
00:17:24.360 in combating the spread of COVID-19.
00:17:27.080 In the pursuit of that end,
00:17:28.380 the CDC issued the mask mandate,
00:17:30.840 but the mandate exceeded
00:17:32.040 the CDC's statutory authority,
00:17:34.820 improperly invoked
00:17:35.880 the good cause exception
00:17:37.780 to notice and comment rulemaking,
00:17:40.120 and failed to adequately
00:17:42.260 explain its decisions.
00:17:44.400 Because our system
00:17:45.620 does not permit agencies
00:17:46.740 to act unlawfully,
00:17:48.500 even in pursuit of desirable ends,
00:17:50.960 the court declares unlawful
00:17:52.340 and vacates the mask mandate.
00:17:54.840 So that's some legal jargon there,
00:17:56.240 but in case you're unaware,
00:17:58.260 new regulations in America
00:17:59.540 have to be open
00:18:00.420 to public scrutiny,
00:18:01.680 public comment,
00:18:02.420 people who are effective
00:18:03.640 have the right to raise issues,
00:18:05.120 ask questions,
00:18:06.220 challenge the regulations,
00:18:07.160 but this was done
00:18:08.040 without any of that.
00:18:09.960 It was just King Anthony Fauci
00:18:11.680 just issuing decrees.
00:18:13.840 That's why it was struck down.
00:18:15.060 Same thing happened up here
00:18:16.000 in Canada, of course,
00:18:17.100 but we don't have
00:18:17.880 as strong a democracy
00:18:19.640 as Americans do.
00:18:20.460 We don't have the same
00:18:21.240 checks and balances
00:18:22.300 on regulations and bureaucrats.
00:18:24.820 We don't have courts
00:18:25.480 that uphold the laws,
00:18:26.960 even against do-gooders
00:18:28.040 like the CDC.
00:18:29.160 Don't ever say
00:18:29.900 that our Canadian legal system
00:18:31.920 is better than America's.
00:18:33.840 For all the talk
00:18:34.740 about the Charter of Rights
00:18:35.720 and Freedoms,
00:18:37.140 how much it is
00:18:38.040 at our core as Canadians,
00:18:39.860 yeah,
00:18:40.520 well, that's what I've heard
00:18:41.200 my whole life
00:18:41.820 and certainly when I was
00:18:42.620 in law school,
00:18:43.240 but the Charter of Rights
00:18:44.540 has not stopped
00:18:45.360 a single out-of-control
00:18:47.540 bureaucrat or politician
00:18:48.580 in this country
00:18:49.240 during the pandemic.
00:18:49.960 Don't be proud
00:18:50.820 of our courts.
00:18:52.280 What a laugh they are.
00:18:54.900 They hate this judge
00:18:55.800 because she's a young,
00:18:56.800 strong, smart woman.
00:18:59.060 If she had ruled
00:19:00.020 the other way
00:19:00.620 and was a Democrat,
00:19:01.460 they would already
00:19:02.000 be talking about
00:19:03.020 putting her on
00:19:03.480 the Supreme Court,
00:19:04.400 but she was appointed
00:19:05.660 by Donald Trump,
00:19:06.500 which is important.
00:19:08.540 You know,
00:19:08.720 Trump had some great successes
00:19:09.760 as president
00:19:10.360 and some real failures.
00:19:12.000 I think his most
00:19:12.700 lasting legacy
00:19:13.600 may be the Abraham Accords,
00:19:15.860 the peace deal
00:19:16.600 he brokered
00:19:17.520 between Israel
00:19:18.320 and half a dozen
00:19:19.440 Arab and Muslim countries.
00:19:21.140 We'll see.
00:19:22.880 But other than that,
00:19:23.900 I think the most
00:19:24.480 enduring legacy
00:19:25.400 of Trump
00:19:25.880 will be his judges.
00:19:28.300 On the Supreme Court
00:19:29.540 and in lower courts
00:19:30.380 like this,
00:19:30.960 he delegated judge-picking
00:19:32.540 to the conservative-leaning
00:19:34.040 Federalist Society
00:19:35.120 and they gave him
00:19:36.280 great lists
00:19:37.160 of great names.
00:19:38.240 It's fair to say
00:19:39.040 this mask mandate
00:19:42.380 strike down
00:19:43.440 is a Trump victory,
00:19:45.020 which is just
00:19:46.260 an extra reason
00:19:47.040 that the left
00:19:47.540 is enraged by it.
00:19:48.660 And I think it's a reason
00:19:49.540 why Canada
00:19:50.280 is still clinging
00:19:51.460 onto masks here too.
00:19:53.380 Justin Trudeau
00:19:53.880 considers himself
00:19:54.700 the anti-Trump.
00:19:56.420 So he's going to
00:19:57.340 hold on longer
00:19:58.000 than any other country
00:19:58.940 except for maybe
00:19:59.560 China itself.
00:20:01.900 I saw this.
00:20:03.980 Here's a compendium
00:20:05.540 of seven countries
00:20:06.740 either relaxing
00:20:08.340 or about to relax
00:20:09.320 or abandon
00:20:09.760 their restrictions
00:20:10.880 on travel.
00:20:11.580 New Zealand,
00:20:13.060 Austria,
00:20:13.680 Scotland,
00:20:14.240 Cyprus,
00:20:15.100 Australia,
00:20:15.780 South Korea,
00:20:16.280 New Zealand.
00:20:16.880 New Zealand,
00:20:17.880 they used to be
00:20:18.420 the craziest.
00:20:20.000 Zero COVID,
00:20:20.940 Jacinda Ardern,
00:20:21.620 but look at them now.
00:20:23.740 Towards a sense
00:20:24.800 of normality,
00:20:26.240 Air New Zealand
00:20:26.720 drops proof of vaccination,
00:20:28.460 negative test requirements
00:20:29.360 to fly.
00:20:30.720 Here in Canada,
00:20:31.600 you can't even get
00:20:32.260 on a plane
00:20:32.780 if you're not jabbed.
00:20:34.300 And they're just
00:20:34.820 mask crazy.
00:20:35.940 Let me leave you
00:20:36.440 with a practical joke.
00:20:37.920 I showed you tweets
00:20:38.800 of people on airplanes
00:20:40.060 celebrating.
00:20:41.020 Let me show you this
00:20:41.860 from a concerned citizen
00:20:43.040 named Jared Rabel.
00:20:45.060 He says,
00:20:45.860 I boarded a plane today
00:20:47.900 with my son
00:20:48.720 and mid-flight
00:20:50.040 the pilot announces
00:20:51.020 that the mask mandate
00:20:51.800 is over.
00:20:53.200 Flight attendants
00:20:53.840 pulled off their masks
00:20:55.000 and sneezed
00:20:56.700 directly into their hands
00:20:58.440 while screaming,
00:20:59.820 this is MAGA airspace.
00:21:01.700 My son turned to me
00:21:04.300 in tears.
00:21:04.820 I don't know
00:21:05.140 what to do.
00:21:08.220 Now,
00:21:08.680 you're smart
00:21:09.280 or at least
00:21:10.020 of average intelligence
00:21:11.320 and even if you're
00:21:12.000 a bit slow,
00:21:13.220 you can tell, right?
00:21:14.220 You can tell
00:21:15.100 this is obviously
00:21:15.900 a joke, right?
00:21:16.760 It's absurd.
00:21:18.220 It's just this guy
00:21:18.920 having fun, right?
00:21:20.300 I mean,
00:21:20.560 do you really think
00:21:21.340 that happened?
00:21:23.000 The flight attendant
00:21:24.140 screamed,
00:21:25.040 this is MAGA airspace.
00:21:26.920 Make America great again.
00:21:28.040 That's the Trump slogan.
00:21:29.320 While sneezing
00:21:30.580 into their hands,
00:21:31.540 you know that's a joke,
00:21:32.680 right?
00:21:33.020 Because you're smart enough
00:21:34.260 to know that's a joke.
00:21:35.560 It's not a very funny joke,
00:21:36.560 but it's a joke.
00:21:39.160 Well,
00:21:39.600 you may be too smart
00:21:40.440 to work for the New York Times
00:21:41.560 because look at this,
00:21:42.560 I swear this is real.
00:21:44.700 Just got messaged
00:21:45.540 by a New York Times journalist
00:21:46.760 about my previous tweet.
00:21:48.080 This is what happened.
00:21:49.860 Someone named Victoria Kim
00:21:51.640 who really is
00:21:52.320 a New York Times journalist.
00:21:54.820 Hi, Jared.
00:21:56.000 I'm a New York Times journalist.
00:21:57.700 I'd love to speak to you
00:21:58.760 over the phone
00:21:59.440 about what happened
00:22:00.440 on your flight this evening.
00:22:02.140 Can you please
00:22:02.660 give me a call
00:22:03.280 at phone number
00:22:04.400 or let me know
00:22:05.260 how I can reach you?
00:22:06.360 Hope this isn't coming
00:22:07.180 too late in your day.
00:22:08.140 Thank you.
00:22:09.280 Look forward to hearing from you.
00:22:11.120 And he answers straight.
00:22:12.360 He doesn't play along
00:22:13.420 for laughs,
00:22:14.060 which I regret.
00:22:14.920 He could have
00:22:15.280 stretched it on a bit.
00:22:16.660 You can see he says,
00:22:17.540 hello, Victoria.
00:22:18.200 I would love to discuss
00:22:19.120 the incident
00:22:19.580 at your earliest convenience.
00:22:21.000 I was pretty upset
00:22:21.780 about the whole thing.
00:22:23.080 Unfortunately,
00:22:23.660 it's satire
00:22:24.580 that only someone
00:22:25.820 in the New York Times
00:22:26.660 would believe.
00:22:27.480 Oh, he should have
00:22:28.180 kept up the ruse.
00:22:30.060 So where are we?
00:22:31.440 Well, America is freer
00:22:32.720 than us here in Canada,
00:22:33.880 again,
00:22:35.180 because their system
00:22:35.960 works better than ours.
00:22:37.540 Their judges care more
00:22:38.400 about freedom
00:22:38.960 than ours do.
00:22:40.680 And other countries
00:22:41.600 are slouching back
00:22:42.700 from the more insane
00:22:43.600 restrictions,
00:22:44.280 but not us here
00:22:45.000 in Canada.
00:22:46.600 And just a prediction.
00:22:47.340 Don't expect to see
00:22:50.740 our country's journalists,
00:22:52.820 politicians,
00:22:53.660 judges,
00:22:54.440 airline executives.
00:22:56.880 Don't expect to see
00:22:57.900 any of them
00:22:58.380 face the issue.
00:23:00.660 Stay with us for more.
00:23:13.900 Hey, welcome back, everybody.
00:23:15.080 I really think that the end
00:23:16.420 of the mask mandate
00:23:17.300 in the United States
00:23:18.080 is an important milestone,
00:23:19.880 the return to normalcy.
00:23:21.380 And it's like everyone
00:23:22.220 shaking themselves
00:23:23.280 out of a trance they were in
00:23:25.100 and saying,
00:23:25.560 what were we doing?
00:23:26.960 I want to read to you
00:23:27.900 a rather touching
00:23:29.020 and even personal tweet
00:23:30.920 made by a lawyer
00:23:31.960 who has been battling
00:23:33.560 this in the courts
00:23:34.600 in the United States.
00:23:35.380 We've talked to her
00:23:36.000 a number of times,
00:23:37.020 battling in the courts,
00:23:37.760 but I follow her Twitter account
00:23:38.920 because she also gives
00:23:40.140 slice of life reflections
00:23:41.460 on what it's like
00:23:42.860 to live in blue cities
00:23:44.440 like New York and Washington.
00:23:46.100 Our friend Janine Eunice
00:23:47.160 last night said,
00:23:49.300 I am not a religious person,
00:23:50.700 but tonight I will be saying
00:23:51.700 a prayer of gratitude
00:23:52.900 to Judge Catherine Mizell.
00:23:55.700 As a frequent traveler
00:23:56.640 via plane and public transit,
00:23:58.440 she just made my life
00:23:59.560 a whole lot better.
00:24:00.980 Joining us now
00:24:01.620 is Janine Eunice,
00:24:03.160 lawyer for the new
00:24:03.980 Civil Liberties Alliance.
00:24:04.720 Great to see you, Janine.
00:24:05.480 It really felt like
00:24:06.880 an emotional moment,
00:24:08.480 a liberation,
00:24:09.880 sort of let my people go.
00:24:11.500 That's how it felt to me.
00:24:13.260 Yeah, it felt like that
00:24:14.360 to me too,
00:24:15.020 and it's certainly
00:24:15.600 all over the Twitter sphere.
00:24:16.860 I think that was the spirit.
00:24:19.140 You know,
00:24:19.620 I love those videos
00:24:21.120 that people were taking
00:24:22.140 when they were literally
00:24:22.940 on an airplane.
00:24:24.220 At the moment,
00:24:25.360 those aircraft
00:24:26.280 received the word,
00:24:27.920 however their communications
00:24:29.740 worked,
00:24:30.300 and whether it was
00:24:31.180 a flight attendant
00:24:32.060 or a pilot
00:24:32.960 breaking the news
00:24:33.780 to the passengers,
00:24:36.300 cheering, singing,
00:24:37.920 in some cases dancing,
00:24:39.820 laughter,
00:24:40.340 people ripping the masks
00:24:41.440 off their faces.
00:24:43.540 It really was.
00:24:44.560 I mean,
00:24:44.860 I use that phrase,
00:24:45.620 let my people go,
00:24:46.480 which is a phrase
00:24:48.240 from the exodus
00:24:49.120 of from slavery to freedom.
00:24:51.160 People whipping
00:24:51.880 their masks off.
00:24:53.240 It is a form of liberation.
00:24:55.320 It is an exodus
00:24:56.620 towards freedom
00:24:57.860 a little bit.
00:24:59.000 The crazy thing is
00:25:00.180 that America and Canada
00:25:02.480 were not enslaved
00:25:03.360 by an alien power,
00:25:05.020 but by our own governments.
00:25:06.100 That's what's so
00:25:07.080 infuriating about it
00:25:09.580 is that Americans
00:25:11.200 were subjugated
00:25:12.320 by Americans.
00:25:13.200 It wasn't some
00:25:13.720 foreign invader.
00:25:14.460 Canadians were subjugated
00:25:15.680 by Canadians.
00:25:16.820 It wasn't some
00:25:17.360 foreign invader.
00:25:18.140 That's what makes it
00:25:18.820 so tough to swallow.
00:25:20.500 Yeah,
00:25:21.020 I think that's right.
00:25:21.840 And another thing
00:25:22.500 that makes it so tough
00:25:23.320 to swallow
00:25:23.780 is that,
00:25:24.260 you know,
00:25:24.720 the subjugation
00:25:25.500 was sort of based on
00:25:26.620 what is clearly
00:25:27.620 a manipulation of science.
00:25:29.140 The CDC,
00:25:29.980 you know,
00:25:30.420 has been twisting studies
00:25:31.720 right and left
00:25:32.320 for the past couple
00:25:33.420 of years
00:25:33.840 in order to justify
00:25:34.900 its mask requirements.
00:25:36.660 It couldn't admit,
00:25:37.520 you know,
00:25:37.680 it needed something.
00:25:38.580 It needed something
00:25:39.220 to say we can control
00:25:40.200 this virus.
00:25:40.840 It came up with masks.
00:25:42.220 And then even though
00:25:42.840 the evidence has shown
00:25:43.680 time and again
00:25:44.400 that they're not really
00:25:45.480 doing anything at all,
00:25:46.880 they've been unable
00:25:47.600 to admit that.
00:25:48.400 And so it's infuriating
00:25:49.460 to people like me
00:25:50.180 who have been looking
00:25:50.720 carefully at the studies
00:25:51.780 and see,
00:25:52.760 you know,
00:25:53.000 that they just look,
00:25:53.980 they pick certain time frames,
00:25:55.380 they stop looking
00:25:56.200 at the jurisdiction
00:25:56.980 once the cases
00:25:57.660 start to go up.
00:25:58.540 You know,
00:25:59.980 stuff like that.
00:26:01.200 You know what?
00:26:02.320 There was no scientific basis
00:26:04.120 for mass mask use.
00:26:07.020 There just wasn't.
00:26:08.320 Just like there was
00:26:08.840 no scientific basis
00:26:09.760 for lockdowns.
00:26:11.360 These were tools
00:26:12.340 of control and persuasion.
00:26:14.360 I think masks
00:26:14.880 in particular,
00:26:15.660 it was very early,
00:26:18.060 I felt like it was a flag.
00:26:21.160 Are you submissive or not?
00:26:22.540 It's like,
00:26:23.080 you know,
00:26:23.500 people wear lapel pins.
00:26:24.700 They have the yellow ribbons
00:26:26.620 for 9-11.
00:26:27.340 They have the red AIDS ribbon.
00:26:29.620 It's what team you're on.
00:26:31.740 It's your affiliation.
00:26:33.660 And the mask
00:26:34.920 was a massive flag
00:26:36.900 to show whose side
00:26:38.060 you were on.
00:26:39.000 And I earlier mentioned
00:26:40.480 Jessica Valenia,
00:26:41.760 a liberal activist,
00:26:43.020 who said,
00:26:43.920 well,
00:26:43.960 I don't want to take
00:26:44.520 my mask off
00:26:45.120 because I don't want people
00:26:45.840 to think I'm a Republican.
00:26:47.320 So it had no utility
00:26:50.000 for health.
00:26:50.880 It was all about
00:26:51.980 a symbol of the new movement.
00:26:54.560 And that's why
00:26:56.040 they needed it
00:26:57.560 to keep you afraid
00:26:58.600 to make it.
00:27:00.600 Because if you didn't know
00:27:02.000 that there was a pandemic
00:27:03.120 and if you weren't
00:27:04.360 dealing with people
00:27:05.160 in their 70s and 80s
00:27:06.700 and if you weren't
00:27:08.880 on social media,
00:27:09.680 if you were a normal human,
00:27:11.240 you wouldn't have been
00:27:12.240 panicky throughout
00:27:13.000 this pandemic.
00:27:13.600 People weren't dying
00:27:14.300 in the streets
00:27:14.920 like the Black Death,
00:27:16.820 like plagues of the past.
00:27:18.120 They needed
00:27:18.920 a visual symbol
00:27:20.660 that the pandemic
00:27:22.020 was ubiquitous,
00:27:23.060 dangerous,
00:27:23.620 or else people
00:27:24.840 would just not care anymore.
00:27:25.940 That's my theory.
00:27:27.400 I think that's right.
00:27:28.280 I think that's a lot of it.
00:27:29.160 So I think there are
00:27:29.760 a number of factors.
00:27:30.960 And another thing,
00:27:31.780 you know,
00:27:31.940 which I touched on just now
00:27:33.140 is that I think
00:27:34.080 the government
00:27:34.780 wanted something
00:27:35.600 that was sort of easy
00:27:36.660 and relatively costless,
00:27:38.440 not like lockdowns,
00:27:39.380 to make it look
00:27:39.960 as though they could do
00:27:40.780 something to control
00:27:41.520 the virus.
00:27:42.260 Look at us,
00:27:42.820 you know,
00:27:42.940 the great government,
00:27:43.780 we can control this virus.
00:27:45.700 And then they just
00:27:46.480 couldn't admit error.
00:27:48.020 Yeah.
00:27:48.400 You know,
00:27:48.740 I remember
00:27:49.740 in the very early months
00:27:50.980 seeing news
00:27:52.220 that the Chinese dictatorship
00:27:54.600 basically called
00:27:55.560 to its expats
00:27:56.720 around the world
00:27:58.040 to hoover up
00:27:59.300 all the PPE,
00:28:00.580 the masks
00:28:01.560 and the gloves
00:28:02.360 and the goggles
00:28:03.600 that they could.
00:28:04.380 And so in January,
00:28:06.420 February, March,
00:28:07.240 when the West
00:28:07.760 wasn't really
00:28:08.420 paying close attention,
00:28:10.900 millions of dollars
00:28:12.980 worth of
00:28:13.800 personal protection equipment
00:28:15.500 was hoovered up
00:28:16.560 in the UK,
00:28:17.220 United States,
00:28:17.900 Canada,
00:28:18.140 Australia,
00:28:18.980 and sent to China.
00:28:20.380 This is not a rumor
00:28:21.780 or a theory.
00:28:22.620 It's they just
00:28:23.480 bought them up.
00:28:25.060 And so part of me
00:28:26.140 thought,
00:28:26.420 well,
00:28:26.480 it must be valuable
00:28:27.320 if China's
00:28:28.100 hoovering them up.
00:28:29.100 But I think,
00:28:29.520 no,
00:28:29.700 I think you're right.
00:28:30.240 It's just someone thought,
00:28:31.100 well,
00:28:31.260 we got to do something
00:28:32.500 and this is a something.
00:28:34.760 And I thought,
00:28:35.500 well,
00:28:35.560 if China is doing
00:28:36.340 that something,
00:28:36.960 maybe it's
00:28:37.400 strategically important.
00:28:39.400 There was no science
00:28:40.420 underneath any of this.
00:28:41.220 And I think that was
00:28:41.760 one of the points
00:28:42.280 of the judge
00:28:42.920 is you got to answer
00:28:44.900 questions.
00:28:45.420 You got to be transparent.
00:28:46.740 You have to be open
00:28:47.520 to comment.
00:28:48.080 You can't just issue
00:28:48.880 a regulation
00:28:49.600 that destroys
00:28:50.900 lives and industries
00:28:52.840 and be immune
00:28:54.260 from scrutiny.
00:28:55.080 I think that's why
00:28:55.680 this judge ruled
00:28:56.300 the way she did.
00:28:57.920 Absolutely.
00:28:58.660 The judge's decision,
00:28:59.700 and I'll say
00:29:00.700 with a caveat,
00:29:01.320 it's very long.
00:29:01.960 I haven't had a chance
00:29:02.720 to fully read
00:29:04.000 the whole thing.
00:29:04.640 I've skimmed it
00:29:05.360 a couple of times,
00:29:06.120 but haven't done
00:29:07.420 as careful of a reading
00:29:08.240 as I'd like to.
00:29:08.900 But I think it's
00:29:09.500 very well thought out.
00:29:10.480 And one of the
00:29:11.220 interesting things
00:29:11.820 about this
00:29:12.180 is the judge
00:29:12.700 happens to be,
00:29:13.480 she's a Trump appointee.
00:29:14.560 She's 35,
00:29:15.300 which is, of course,
00:29:15.900 very young for a federal judge.
00:29:17.860 And most of the comments
00:29:19.100 I've seen on social media
00:29:20.600 criticizing her
00:29:22.740 are limited to her age,
00:29:24.320 gender, it seems.
00:29:25.180 You know,
00:29:25.340 she's a 35-year-old
00:29:26.320 female judge,
00:29:27.240 Trump appointee.
00:29:28.460 None of them
00:29:28.860 have actually taken issue
00:29:29.960 with her legal reasoning,
00:29:31.640 which is quite sound.
00:29:32.860 She's basically said
00:29:33.860 that the CDC
00:29:34.580 does not have the authority.
00:29:36.580 It's similar to the vaccine,
00:29:38.280 some of the federal
00:29:39.140 vaccine mandate cases,
00:29:40.340 and it's also similar
00:29:41.140 to the CDC eviction
00:29:42.120 moratorium cases.
00:29:43.580 In fact,
00:29:44.000 this was the same statute
00:29:45.060 that the CDC used
00:29:46.040 to say that it had
00:29:46.800 the authority
00:29:47.320 to halt evictions
00:29:48.160 nationwide in the U.S.
00:29:49.360 and that the Supreme Court
00:29:50.460 struck down that action.
00:29:53.040 So it was very similar
00:29:54.940 reasoning, actually.
00:29:56.400 Yeah, I mean,
00:29:56.960 I skimmed it,
00:29:57.920 and I think she sums it up
00:29:59.980 really in the end
00:30:00.620 where she says,
00:30:01.680 sorry, you can't just,
00:30:02.980 this is not how you make laws
00:30:04.280 in America.
00:30:05.560 You can't just short-circuit
00:30:07.080 the public comment
00:30:08.700 and you just,
00:30:10.040 you're not a legislature.
00:30:12.260 You're an agency.
00:30:13.480 You can't just issue edicts
00:30:14.880 from the high on Mount Olympus.
00:30:17.100 And I think it's obvious
00:30:18.520 that Congress,
00:30:20.220 I mean, you've got
00:30:20.640 the House of Representatives,
00:30:22.040 the Senate,
00:30:22.460 the presidency,
00:30:23.100 they're all in the hands
00:30:23.640 of the Democrats.
00:30:24.160 If they really believed in this,
00:30:25.960 they could enact a law
00:30:27.100 through the legislature.
00:30:29.240 I guess they could appeal
00:30:30.360 it to a higher court.
00:30:31.360 I think that this judge,
00:30:32.820 in a way,
00:30:33.160 has done Joe Biden
00:30:33.860 a huge favor
00:30:34.620 by removing this irritant
00:30:36.840 on the population
00:30:38.220 that the Democrats
00:30:38.880 had been so politically
00:30:39.840 invested in
00:30:40.840 that they were sort of
00:30:41.800 backed into a corner.
00:30:42.760 They couldn't lose face
00:30:44.480 and now they can say,
00:30:46.300 well, a judge threw it out
00:30:47.360 so they can keep the win
00:30:48.860 or we care more than you guys.
00:30:50.720 It was a Trump judge,
00:30:52.580 but the actual pain
00:30:54.640 is being relieved in America
00:30:56.340 seven months before
00:30:57.660 their midterm elections.
00:30:59.460 I think that's exactly right.
00:31:01.180 I think that's exactly
00:31:01.860 the correct interpretation.
00:31:03.020 Now, there have been
00:31:03.460 a couple of,
00:31:04.260 it's unclear whether
00:31:05.020 they'll appeal or not.
00:31:05.940 I heard this morning
00:31:06.740 that they weren't going to
00:31:07.640 and then I heard
00:31:08.180 that they were going to.
00:31:10.620 If they don't appeal,
00:31:11.840 that would be interesting.
00:31:12.860 It would either,
00:31:13.440 it would sort of be
00:31:14.200 a concession that
00:31:15.380 either they were afraid
00:31:16.440 they'd lose in the circuit court
00:31:17.720 and create bad law
00:31:18.780 or that they really
00:31:19.980 didn't want to push
00:31:20.620 this mandate,
00:31:21.220 but for some reason
00:31:21.880 felt they had to
00:31:22.860 and they're kind of relieved
00:31:24.020 that it's out of their hands
00:31:25.240 as you say.
00:31:25.780 Now they can just blame
00:31:26.460 it on the Trump judge.
00:31:27.860 Yeah.
00:31:28.220 You know, it's April 2022.
00:31:30.320 Mask mandates have been
00:31:31.140 in effect for a long time.
00:31:33.040 It feels like ages
00:31:35.280 that it took ages
00:31:36.240 for this to get
00:31:37.020 to this court.
00:31:40.360 You know, the CDC says
00:31:41.700 it would have removed
00:31:42.260 the mandate in a couple of weeks,
00:31:43.360 but we've heard that
00:31:43.940 two-week promise before.
00:31:45.880 But I have to note
00:31:46.440 that here in Canada,
00:31:47.340 I think I told you this before,
00:31:48.400 our Supreme Court
00:31:49.120 has yet to weigh in
00:31:50.440 on any lockdown issue.
00:31:53.000 Just to have it.
00:31:54.240 And our Charter of Rights
00:31:55.200 and Freedoms,
00:31:55.860 which was once
00:31:56.660 considered a defining
00:31:58.120 Canadian document,
00:32:00.040 has not in any case
00:32:01.560 successfully struck down
00:32:03.120 an infringement.
00:32:04.000 And we got some crazy stuff
00:32:05.200 going on up here.
00:32:06.100 Like we had a full-born
00:32:07.060 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew
00:32:09.260 in the large province
00:32:10.500 of Quebec.
00:32:11.320 So I'm starting to think
00:32:13.280 what is the use
00:32:14.060 of our whole vaunted
00:32:15.880 check and balance
00:32:17.020 legal system
00:32:17.760 if it can't stop
00:32:19.320 the biggest civil liberties
00:32:20.340 inferno
00:32:20.940 in world history,
00:32:22.540 perhaps,
00:32:23.400 since slavery,
00:32:24.640 I guess.
00:32:25.700 What use is it?
00:32:27.040 I mean, here we are
00:32:27.820 and a judge
00:32:29.500 finally strikes it down
00:32:31.460 in America.
00:32:32.180 And of course,
00:32:32.700 as you point out,
00:32:33.760 she's attacked
00:32:34.200 for being a young woman
00:32:35.860 Trump appointee.
00:32:37.700 But at least
00:32:38.420 you had something.
00:32:39.880 In Canada,
00:32:40.600 I want to let you know,
00:32:41.380 Janine,
00:32:42.020 that you cannot get
00:32:43.340 on an airplane,
00:32:44.100 even domestically,
00:32:45.040 if you're unvaxxed.
00:32:46.460 You just cannot fly
00:32:47.640 or take the train
00:32:48.400 in the second largest
00:32:49.540 country in the world.
00:32:50.320 You just can't.
00:32:51.620 Yeah, well,
00:32:52.120 I mean, it's interesting.
00:32:53.200 So there are plenty
00:32:53.820 of people here
00:32:54.440 who want that.
00:32:55.120 And in fact,
00:32:55.660 I believe it's one
00:32:56.740 of the guy
00:32:57.860 that Biden
00:32:58.480 appointed to be
00:32:59.080 as COVID SAR,
00:33:00.040 whatever that means,
00:33:00.740 was saying that
00:33:01.220 we should be looking
00:33:01.860 at vaccination requirements
00:33:03.580 for domestic air travel.
00:33:05.240 So what you have
00:33:06.640 in America
00:33:07.040 is sort of an interesting
00:33:07.860 just divide
00:33:08.680 between the Republican
00:33:09.880 and Democratic strongholds.
00:33:11.960 And frankly,
00:33:12.900 in the Democratic strongholds,
00:33:14.300 I mean,
00:33:14.620 it's not really any better
00:33:15.960 than what you're talking about.
00:33:17.380 In New York,
00:33:18.300 they just are,
00:33:18.980 they're continuing
00:33:19.500 the toddler mask mandate.
00:33:21.060 It's two to four-year-olds
00:33:22.000 are the only population
00:33:23.020 required to be masked.
00:33:24.200 A judge struck it down,
00:33:26.280 actually,
00:33:26.780 and then the city
00:33:28.300 immediately appealed
00:33:29.340 for a stay.
00:33:30.400 That's sort of called
00:33:30.960 like an immediate,
00:33:32.320 to immediately halt
00:33:33.320 the effect
00:33:33.840 of the lower court's order.
00:33:35.900 And so that,
00:33:37.200 later that day,
00:33:37.980 the toddler mask mandate
00:33:39.640 was kept in effect.
00:33:41.000 So, you know,
00:33:41.820 the good things
00:33:43.120 are coming out
00:33:43.760 of these Republican strongholds.
00:33:46.800 And we would be
00:33:48.460 in the same situation,
00:33:49.380 I think,
00:33:49.740 if we were
00:33:50.120 in Democratic majority
00:33:51.320 or in Democratic majority
00:33:53.080 jurisdictions.
00:33:54.280 And the lesson really is
00:33:55.440 that it's the populace.
00:33:56.840 It's the populace
00:33:57.600 that drives the politicians
00:33:58.660 and it's the populace
00:33:59.560 that drives the judges
00:34:00.420 in the end.
00:34:03.160 Yeah,
00:34:03.320 I think you're right.
00:34:04.260 I mean,
00:34:04.620 and I don't know
00:34:05.660 if it's a coincidence
00:34:06.320 that this judge,
00:34:07.080 I think,
00:34:07.340 was in Florida,
00:34:08.600 which has become
00:34:09.740 the free state,
00:34:10.880 the freest place
00:34:12.240 in America.
00:34:13.300 Again,
00:34:13.580 you've got 50 states
00:34:14.620 each with a slightly
00:34:15.440 different approach.
00:34:16.540 I mean,
00:34:16.660 of course,
00:34:16.860 you do have the federal issue,
00:34:18.460 which is what was at stake here.
00:34:19.580 But you really do have
00:34:20.720 50 competing laboratories
00:34:22.200 for how to do it.
00:34:23.540 In Canada,
00:34:25.340 you do have
00:34:25.940 10 provinces
00:34:27.380 and three territories,
00:34:28.460 but they were so similar.
00:34:31.280 They were so similar.
00:34:32.640 It's quite depressing
00:34:33.580 for me as a Canadian
00:34:34.320 to say this,
00:34:35.100 but here's one thing
00:34:35.940 I want to ask you about.
00:34:36.800 It's not a legal thing.
00:34:38.220 It's a psychological thing.
00:34:39.640 It's a madness
00:34:41.940 of crowds thing.
00:34:43.340 It's a conformity thing.
00:34:45.340 I showed earlier
00:34:46.340 a videotape
00:34:47.240 of a flight attendant
00:34:48.160 going down the aisle
00:34:50.760 singing a song
00:34:51.860 about throw out your masks
00:34:53.200 with a jubilation.
00:34:54.760 It felt like
00:34:55.700 a liberation song.
00:34:58.800 She was just making up
00:34:59.440 a song about
00:34:59.920 throw out your masks
00:35:00.760 and everyone was,
00:35:02.260 like it was this
00:35:02.900 cheering moment
00:35:03.760 like they had just won
00:35:05.140 the Super Bowl
00:35:05.720 or something.
00:35:07.520 But I can't help
00:35:08.360 but think,
00:35:08.920 Janine,
00:35:09.480 that 10 minutes earlier
00:35:11.240 had someone
00:35:12.920 not been wearing
00:35:13.720 their mask
00:35:14.300 or not been wearing it
00:35:15.680 between sips of water
00:35:17.680 or peanuts
00:35:18.980 or whatever
00:35:19.400 they serve on a plane
00:35:20.360 that that same
00:35:22.120 flight attendant
00:35:22.920 would have
00:35:23.720 most likely
00:35:24.900 been a scold
00:35:27.120 and even threatened.
00:35:29.380 And so yes,
00:35:31.940 that flight attendant
00:35:32.660 was celebrating
00:35:33.200 and all these pilots
00:35:34.060 are celebrating
00:35:34.880 but minutes earlier
00:35:37.460 they were the enforcers
00:35:38.860 of it.
00:35:39.600 I'm not sure
00:35:40.300 if they get to do
00:35:41.280 the jubilation victory lap
00:35:43.140 when they were complicit.
00:35:47.060 Now maybe it was
00:35:47.940 complicit or lose your job
00:35:49.380 or complicit or get,
00:35:51.060 but it's a little hard
00:35:53.680 for me to swallow
00:35:54.640 someone who five minutes
00:35:56.820 earlier was an enforcer
00:35:58.240 now leading a song
00:36:00.400 of liberation.
00:36:01.220 I just find that hard.
00:36:03.100 So I think my opinion
00:36:04.020 on this is,
00:36:04.820 and I've documented it
00:36:05.740 well on Twitter,
00:36:06.560 I don't blame people
00:36:07.960 for employees
00:36:10.580 when they're really
00:36:11.840 sort of afraid
00:36:12.560 to lose their job
00:36:13.320 and they're not
00:36:13.760 very zealously
00:36:14.400 enforcing it.
00:36:15.160 So I actually differentiate.
00:36:17.220 I've had like Amtrak conductors
00:36:18.880 or sorry,
00:36:19.920 trained people
00:36:20.520 or flight attendants
00:36:21.920 say like,
00:36:22.800 oh, can you put your mask on?
00:36:24.380 You know,
00:36:24.480 and you can say
00:36:24.860 they don't really want to ask
00:36:25.820 but they feel like
00:36:26.340 they have to.
00:36:27.680 That I can,
00:36:28.300 and they just ask
00:36:28.940 and if you don't do it,
00:36:29.620 they don't follow up,
00:36:30.820 which I'm okay with
00:36:31.760 because I understand
00:36:32.380 the position they're in.
00:36:33.380 I differentiate them
00:36:34.460 from the ones
00:36:35.080 who are clearly
00:36:35.840 on a power trip
00:36:36.660 who clearly insist on it.
00:36:37.840 You know,
00:36:37.940 I had one guy
00:36:38.440 on the Amtrak
00:36:38.940 tell me I was drinking wine
00:36:40.460 and he said,
00:36:41.140 you have to put your mask on
00:36:42.520 and I said,
00:36:42.820 I'm drinking wine
00:36:43.480 and he was like,
00:36:44.400 well,
00:36:44.540 you have to put it
00:36:45.140 on your chin
00:36:45.760 so that you can
00:36:46.280 pull it up between sips
00:36:47.340 and it's just,
00:36:48.000 you know,
00:36:48.120 these are clearly people
00:36:49.020 who enjoy controlling
00:36:49.980 and micromanaging people.
00:36:52.720 So I do think they're all up.
00:36:54.400 There's no rule.
00:36:55.400 That doesn't even make sense.
00:36:56.760 No, it doesn't make sense.
00:36:57.740 Of course it makes no sense.
00:36:59.140 And it doesn't make sense
00:36:59.980 to have a mask on
00:37:00.960 when you're eating,
00:37:01.600 by the way,
00:37:02.040 just from a health
00:37:02.660 or hygiene point of view.
00:37:04.180 You're right.
00:37:04.640 I take your point.
00:37:05.920 You know,
00:37:06.500 I never understood
00:37:07.640 Solzhenitsyn's instruction
00:37:10.380 which was,
00:37:11.380 just don't participate
00:37:13.700 in the lie.
00:37:15.200 You don't have to fight against it.
00:37:16.360 You don't have to speak out
00:37:17.080 against it.
00:37:18.280 Not everyone can do that.
00:37:19.480 Most people can't do it.
00:37:20.380 Just don't perpetrate it.
00:37:22.080 Just don't be
00:37:23.080 a collaborator.
00:37:25.500 Just don't do that.
00:37:26.280 That was his one admonition.
00:37:28.040 Just don't be a collaborator.
00:37:31.140 And you know what?
00:37:33.160 And I'm using all these analogies
00:37:34.840 of the darkest fascist time
00:37:36.280 in recent history.
00:37:40.100 After France was liberated,
00:37:41.680 everyone was with
00:37:43.300 the French resistance.
00:37:44.540 No, you weren't.
00:37:45.960 No, you weren't.
00:37:47.360 You want that now.
00:37:49.140 And I see that
00:37:49.820 with some pundits
00:37:51.100 and some politicians
00:37:51.960 who want to rebrand themselves
00:37:53.860 as heroes of civil liberties.
00:37:55.900 No, they weren't.
00:37:57.300 And I'm not,
00:37:58.440 this is not about me saying,
00:37:59.680 well, I was earlier.
00:38:01.020 It's about understanding
00:38:03.080 how quickly the world can go mad
00:38:05.460 and then flip back
00:38:07.700 and not even know
00:38:09.100 that they were mad.
00:38:09.940 There was no reckoning.
00:38:10.820 We need a truth
00:38:11.860 and reconciliation commission.
00:38:13.440 What exactly happened?
00:38:15.400 What happened
00:38:16.320 in the police departments?
00:38:17.880 What happened
00:38:18.280 in the colleges
00:38:18.820 of physicians and surgeons
00:38:20.500 that caused them
00:38:22.100 to crack down
00:38:22.720 on people issuing
00:38:23.580 exemption letters?
00:38:25.400 What happened?
00:38:26.820 We still don't know
00:38:27.780 what happened.
00:38:28.320 I don't know
00:38:28.620 if we ever will.
00:38:29.320 I'm depressed
00:38:31.200 that there's no recognition
00:38:34.500 of how dark it was.
00:38:36.300 I agree with that.
00:38:37.440 And I think that
00:38:38.160 without any accountability,
00:38:39.260 it's just going to happen again.
00:38:41.280 There really needs to be,
00:38:42.660 I mean,
00:38:42.820 I don't know
00:38:43.120 if we're talking
00:38:43.480 about criminal trials,
00:38:44.580 although I think
00:38:45.080 that some people,
00:38:45.920 the criminal penalties
00:38:47.580 could possibly be appropriate.
00:38:49.700 But certainly
00:38:50.560 some sort of,
00:38:51.500 you know,
00:38:51.860 commission to figure out
00:38:52.640 what went wrong.
00:38:53.760 And as you know,
00:38:54.740 the CDC,
00:38:55.600 as I've discussed,
00:38:57.180 has continually
00:38:58.040 exceeded its authority
00:39:00.440 and abused its power
00:39:01.740 to implement these mandates.
00:39:03.460 And they know
00:39:04.100 that it's going to take
00:39:05.060 some time
00:39:05.360 to challenge them in court.
00:39:06.860 The Biden administration
00:39:07.960 even acknowledged
00:39:09.220 that the CDC
00:39:09.980 eviction moratorium
00:39:10.940 was unlawful,
00:39:11.840 but said that they knew,
00:39:13.240 well,
00:39:13.320 it was going to take
00:39:13.820 a little while
00:39:14.240 to get challenged.
00:39:15.340 If people aren't,
00:39:16.240 you know,
00:39:16.500 there's no
00:39:17.280 personal accountability.
00:39:20.000 So the government
00:39:21.420 is found to have
00:39:22.300 exceeded its power,
00:39:23.320 but that doesn't mean
00:39:23.900 that any person
00:39:24.680 loses their job
00:39:25.340 or is penalized.
00:39:26.060 As long as that goes on,
00:39:27.360 this will go on.
00:39:28.900 You know,
00:39:29.440 I don't mean to use
00:39:30.520 so many Nazi analogies,
00:39:32.240 and there are
00:39:32.900 obviously differences,
00:39:34.620 but that was a great
00:39:36.300 moment of mass formation
00:39:38.240 psychosis.
00:39:39.140 That was a time,
00:39:40.620 I mean,
00:39:40.880 Germany was the most educated,
00:39:42.180 most cultured country
00:39:43.180 in Europe.
00:39:43.760 It was not,
00:39:44.320 an illiterate,
00:39:45.860 superstitious backwater.
00:39:47.420 It was modern,
00:39:48.260 secular,
00:39:49.160 artistic,
00:39:49.840 scientific.
00:39:50.440 I mean,
00:39:51.160 and it was very Jewish,
00:39:52.780 by the way.
00:39:53.900 And they went mad.
00:39:58.140 And by the way,
00:39:58.840 it was the doctors
00:39:59.480 who led it.
00:40:01.140 And that's where
00:40:01.600 we got the doctor's trials
00:40:02.940 and the Nuremberg Code
00:40:05.360 of Medicine
00:40:06.300 emerged from
00:40:07.160 the atrocities there.
00:40:08.120 I'm not comparing
00:40:09.840 the worst parts
00:40:11.480 of Nazism.
00:40:12.940 Obviously not.
00:40:14.320 But there's similar
00:40:15.440 psychological strains
00:40:16.460 and I want to,
00:40:17.600 and I say that
00:40:18.340 because I'm not over comparing,
00:40:20.500 but there is a comparison
00:40:21.420 to be made
00:40:22.020 to a certain point.
00:40:23.740 And Ron Rosenbaum,
00:40:25.220 who's gone,
00:40:26.260 Trump derangement,
00:40:27.060 he's gone mad,
00:40:27.700 he's mad about COVID.
00:40:29.060 But before 2016,
00:40:30.900 he was actually
00:40:31.820 an incredibly thoughtful
00:40:33.700 scholar,
00:40:34.340 historian,
00:40:34.880 researcher,
00:40:35.380 writer,
00:40:35.640 provocative thinker.
00:40:36.440 and he wrote a book
00:40:37.380 called Explaining Hitler,
00:40:39.160 which I think
00:40:39.980 was amazing.
00:40:42.300 And he said something,
00:40:44.400 he said,
00:40:45.300 and again,
00:40:45.720 forgive me for being
00:40:46.460 so dramatic,
00:40:47.140 I'm not calling
00:40:47.940 what happened
00:40:48.420 a Holocaust.
00:40:49.340 But he said,
00:40:50.140 a second Holocaust
00:40:50.900 is more likely
00:40:51.840 than the first one
00:40:52.900 because the first one
00:40:54.240 was unthinkable.
00:40:56.320 But the second one,
00:40:57.420 now that it's happened,
00:40:58.580 okay,
00:40:58.780 you know it can happen.
00:40:59.640 You no longer have
00:41:00.300 the psychological,
00:41:01.700 social,
00:41:02.140 cultural,
00:41:02.600 historical,
00:41:03.780 it's not an unthinkable idea.
00:41:06.580 It happened,
00:41:07.340 so it could happen again.
00:41:08.280 And now the systems
00:41:09.420 are there,
00:41:09.800 the technology is there.
00:41:10.860 So his theory
00:41:11.580 is that like a black swan,
00:41:14.300 the first time it happens,
00:41:15.400 you couldn't have imagined it.
00:41:18.620 And my comparison here is
00:41:20.560 we couldn't have imagined
00:41:23.460 that they would tell us
00:41:24.540 not to gather in our homes.
00:41:25.900 We couldn't have imagined
00:41:26.760 that they would have said
00:41:28.500 you could only have
00:41:29.020 five people at a funeral.
00:41:30.700 We couldn't have imagined
00:41:31.760 demonizing people
00:41:32.840 by the million
00:41:33.560 who wouldn't get
00:41:34.820 an injection
00:41:35.440 of what is not
00:41:37.360 a fully tested drug.
00:41:39.180 We couldn't imagine
00:41:40.220 every institution at once
00:41:42.460 being undermined.
00:41:44.120 We couldn't,
00:41:44.720 I couldn't imagine it.
00:41:46.460 No, I couldn't either.
00:41:47.540 And it didn't happen
00:41:48.220 all at once,
00:41:48.720 but it happened
00:41:49.180 bloody quickly.
00:41:50.380 And as to Ron Rosenbaum's point,
00:41:53.180 if it happened once,
00:41:54.680 which is unthinkable,
00:41:56.840 why wouldn't it happen again
00:41:58.560 a second time
00:41:59.220 more thinkably?
00:41:59.960 Because we can think it now.
00:42:01.700 And it happened now.
00:42:02.700 And the people who did it,
00:42:04.080 if there's no Nuremberg trials,
00:42:05.600 so to speak,
00:42:06.340 well, why wouldn't
00:42:06.880 they do it again?
00:42:09.080 Yeah, I mean,
00:42:09.740 so I've sort of
00:42:11.520 broached the comparison myself,
00:42:13.220 and I think this is
00:42:13.820 how I look at it.
00:42:15.600 I'm not saying
00:42:16.380 that the events
00:42:17.000 of the COVID hysteria,
00:42:18.520 as I like to call it,
00:42:19.460 are the same,
00:42:20.260 but the mindset,
00:42:21.340 one sort of can see
00:42:22.340 how this mindset
00:42:23.140 came to be.
00:42:24.320 Well, Janine,
00:42:24.720 let me ask you this.
00:42:27.060 In the last,
00:42:28.400 not even 24 hours,
00:42:29.980 we've seen the domino effect.
00:42:31.560 The airlines have,
00:42:32.980 all the big airlines
00:42:33.780 have said they're ending this.
00:42:35.140 I see Uber and Lyft,
00:42:36.380 at least in the United States,
00:42:37.480 are ending this.
00:42:38.000 I'm not sure about Canada yet.
00:42:39.780 Amtrak,
00:42:40.060 like it just really
00:42:41.420 is sweeping it out.
00:42:42.620 You mentioned exceptions
00:42:43.680 like the toddler
00:42:44.500 mask in New York City.
00:42:47.420 Are there large lockdownist laws
00:42:51.080 still in place in America?
00:42:53.000 Because in Canada,
00:42:53.920 there sure are.
00:42:55.120 But are there in America,
00:42:56.520 or is it just in odd spots
00:42:58.940 like New York?
00:43:01.420 Pretty much,
00:43:02.500 I guess I would say
00:43:03.480 they're gone.
00:43:04.100 So there are still
00:43:04.820 vaccine mandates
00:43:05.600 are still around.
00:43:06.820 That's sort of
00:43:07.780 the big lingering effect,
00:43:09.080 I would say.
00:43:09.960 The mask mandates
00:43:11.040 seem to be mostly gone.
00:43:12.540 There really aren't
00:43:13.460 any lockdown policies
00:43:14.540 that I'm aware of.
00:43:15.700 Let's keep in touch on this.
00:43:16.900 You guys at the NCLA
00:43:18.760 National New Civil Liberties Alliance
00:43:21.120 are doing great work on this.
00:43:22.860 Give me 30 seconds
00:43:23.980 on the state of your lawsuits.
00:43:26.740 Are you still pursuing litigation
00:43:28.480 to fight against
00:43:29.740 some of these vaccine mandates
00:43:30.820 or have those defendants
00:43:32.920 all settled or surrendered?
00:43:35.600 We have a couple of active cases.
00:43:37.600 So the federal employee mandate
00:43:38.940 and the federal contractor mandate
00:43:40.660 we're still fighting.
00:43:41.480 So the federal employee mandate
00:43:43.440 was actually sort of brought back.
00:43:45.660 It had been struck down by
00:43:47.300 or at least stayed
00:43:48.420 by a judge in Texas,
00:43:50.400 but a higher court reversed that.
00:43:53.300 So now federal employees
00:43:54.680 are subject to the vaccine mandate.
00:43:57.020 So we have those cases.
00:43:58.640 And then I have another case
00:43:59.740 that is actually going to
00:44:01.520 a hearing next week
00:44:03.060 on the censorship
00:44:04.340 of Twitter users
00:44:06.500 and the government's involvement
00:44:08.040 in that censorship.
00:44:08.820 Well, I'm glad you're fighting.
00:44:11.080 And I have to tell you,
00:44:12.160 I would love to see you
00:44:13.180 on the bench one day
00:44:14.560 issuing rulings of freedom.
00:44:17.420 And I hope that day
00:44:18.660 isn't long into the future.
00:44:20.500 Janine Yunus,
00:44:21.080 great to see you again.
00:44:21.920 Congratulations.
00:44:22.280 Thank you so much.
00:44:23.280 You're a great fighter on this.
00:44:25.560 Thank you so much, Ezra.
00:44:26.800 All right.
00:44:27.340 There you have it.
00:44:27.920 Janine Yunus
00:44:28.480 from the new Civil Liberties Alliance.
00:44:30.260 Stay with us more ahead.
00:44:31.040 I think it was a momentous day.
00:44:44.860 I think the mask mandate
00:44:47.180 in the United States
00:44:47.920 ended more with a whimper
00:44:49.120 than a bang.
00:44:51.860 It's outrageous that it took so long.
00:44:54.640 It's shocking how,
00:44:57.400 you know,
00:44:58.280 the dam broke
00:44:59.180 and suddenly everybody
00:45:00.160 was fine with normal again,
00:45:02.220 including people
00:45:02.920 who were enforcers
00:45:03.820 of the mask mandate.
00:45:05.880 I said to Janine
00:45:06.980 that just like Ron Rosenbaum
00:45:08.940 said a second Holocaust
00:45:09.960 is more likely than the first
00:45:11.300 because the first was unthinkable.
00:45:14.300 A second lockdown pandemic madness
00:45:17.120 is more likely than the first
00:45:19.000 because they've shown
00:45:20.240 they can do it.
00:45:21.560 They made tens of billions
00:45:23.620 of dollars off it.
00:45:24.500 I'm just talking about
00:45:25.080 Pfizer and Moderna alone.
00:45:26.300 Trillions of dollars
00:45:28.300 was at stake.
00:45:29.880 Power grabs,
00:45:30.860 mass surveillance.
00:45:32.800 Why wouldn't they do it again?
00:45:34.920 No one who was in on it
00:45:36.620 has suffered.
00:45:37.280 No one was fired.
00:45:38.140 No one was prosecuted.
00:45:39.940 China loved it.
00:45:41.940 The public health
00:45:42.740 deep state loved it.
00:45:43.760 It'll happen a second time.
00:45:46.320 At least if we don't learn
00:45:47.420 the proper lessons from it.
00:45:49.600 Let me end today's show
00:45:51.680 with a video of the day
00:45:52.500 from Sid Fizard of Calgary
00:45:54.960 who has a question.
00:45:57.080 The CB radio
00:45:57.760 could it play a role
00:45:58.780 in preserving free speech?
00:46:00.220 That's an interesting question.
00:46:01.360 I'll leave you with that video
00:46:02.040 until tomorrow.
00:46:03.440 On behalf of all of us here
00:46:04.480 at Rebel World Headquarters
00:46:05.580 to you at home.
00:46:06.140 Good night.
00:46:07.080 Keep fighting for freedom.
00:46:08.500 Today we're here to talk
00:46:09.320 about CB radio
00:46:10.360 and its potential key role
00:46:12.060 in the preservation
00:46:12.660 of free speech.
00:46:13.780 As well,
00:46:14.300 we're going to touch base
00:46:15.120 with a trucking company owner
00:46:16.760 based out of Saskatchewan
00:46:18.060 to hear what he has to say
00:46:19.440 about how it's used
00:46:20.260 in the industry
00:46:21.000 on a daily basis.
00:46:22.500 You might not be familiar
00:46:23.540 with citizen band radio
00:46:25.280 and its usage
00:46:26.060 has died down a fair bit
00:46:27.340 with the introduction
00:46:28.080 of phones and the internet
00:46:29.360 which provide faster,
00:46:30.680 more broad communication services.
00:46:32.460 But you can think of it
00:46:33.280 as a walkie-talkie system
00:46:34.960 for adults
00:46:35.600 used in emergencies
00:46:36.560 by authorities
00:46:37.440 as well as hobbyist preppers
00:46:38.720 and especially considered
00:46:39.900 where you might not often
00:46:40.860 find cell reception.
00:46:42.200 Most notably,
00:46:43.100 truckers use it
00:46:43.840 as a keen source
00:46:44.620 of information
00:46:45.220 and communication
00:46:46.060 while on the road.
00:46:47.280 It's used frequently,
00:46:48.220 however,
00:46:48.500 mostly remains hidden
00:46:49.680 from public view.
00:46:51.040 Even though this old-school
00:46:51.960 radio technology
00:46:52.780 doesn't have the wide range
00:46:54.320 of uses
00:46:54.780 or the speed
00:46:55.740 and value of the internet,
00:46:57.020 it does have its place
00:46:58.080 and it provides
00:46:58.680 a certain form of independence
00:47:00.000 which things like
00:47:00.820 the internet can't provide,
00:47:02.320 which may make it
00:47:03.020 a noteworthy tool
00:47:03.900 in the battle against the state
00:47:05.100 with regards to free speech.
00:47:06.840 Especially now,
00:47:07.760 during an era
00:47:08.300 of government-sponsored media
00:47:09.780 and mass spying
00:47:10.940 of civilians,
00:47:12.000 what we are allowed to know
00:47:13.180 has made each of us
00:47:14.120 a target of the state.
00:47:16.080 Anyone can purchase
00:47:17.140 a CB radio
00:47:18.020 and say whatever they want
00:47:19.200 without the infringement
00:47:20.200 of social media censorship.
00:47:22.240 And unlike the internet,
00:47:23.680 this radio doesn't face
00:47:24.940 the same physical hurdles
00:47:26.200 when it comes to access.
00:47:27.820 It operates outside
00:47:28.840 the functionality
00:47:29.640 of the internet
00:47:30.540 by way of people
00:47:31.660 dialing into certain
00:47:32.680 frequencies or channels.
00:47:34.520 And as mentioned,
00:47:35.340 CB radio is no stranger
00:47:36.980 to the trucker industry
00:47:38.020 where it does play
00:47:39.060 a significant role
00:47:40.260 in daily operations.
00:47:41.920 Starting our investigation
00:47:43.200 into this hidden means
00:47:44.600 of communication,
00:47:45.220 we're joined by Haru,
00:47:46.840 who owns a trucking company
00:47:47.980 in Saskatchewan,
00:47:49.120 where he details
00:47:49.940 some daily uses
00:47:50.900 of CB radio
00:47:52.000 in the trucker industry.
00:47:53.680 The most basic one
00:47:54.800 is Channel 19 CB radio.
00:47:57.500 It's basically,
00:47:59.800 we talk all the time
00:48:02.600 on CB 19
00:48:03.420 with other truckers
00:48:05.580 if there's an accident,
00:48:06.860 there's this fog,
00:48:08.680 or there's a sharp corner
00:48:11.140 and somebody's just pulled over
00:48:12.740 with their flashers on
00:48:13.940 and just informing
00:48:14.800 road conditions,
00:48:15.880 slippery sections
00:48:16.560 and all that stuff.
00:48:18.680 But there's more
00:48:19.960 that happens on that.
00:48:23.060 People do tend to talk
00:48:24.520 more than just that sometimes
00:48:26.540 and it's just nothing special.
00:48:29.880 But yeah,
00:48:30.260 it's a different world.
00:48:31.160 That's the only way
00:48:31.780 we can kind of communicate
00:48:32.700 with somebody else
00:48:33.540 other than ourselves
00:48:34.620 in the cab.
00:48:35.360 I'm not sure what else
00:48:36.520 happens on there,
00:48:37.460 but we're very strict
00:48:38.500 with what we do
00:48:39.380 with the CB radio,
00:48:40.340 so we use it
00:48:41.040 for what we're supposed
00:48:41.780 to use.
00:48:42.640 They're always on.
00:48:44.100 They're in the trucks.
00:48:45.400 You never shut them off.
00:48:46.960 You'll hear all
00:48:47.680 a bunch of stuff.
00:48:48.960 The usefulness
00:48:49.700 for truckers
00:48:50.280 is self-explanatory,
00:48:51.680 generally revolving
00:48:52.540 around road safety.
00:48:53.800 But as Haru mentions,
00:48:55.140 there's more than that
00:48:55.940 which takes place
00:48:56.700 on this quasi-hidden
00:48:57.880 communications platform.
00:48:59.240 This year alone,
00:49:00.180 we saw unprecedented
00:49:01.400 trucker convoys
00:49:02.460 and blockades
00:49:03.120 across the nation
00:49:04.200 in protest
00:49:04.860 of government mandates.
00:49:06.360 And given the connection
00:49:07.360 between semi-trucks
00:49:08.480 and CB radio,
00:49:09.540 I can't imagine
00:49:10.820 they went unused.
00:49:12.400 In years past,
00:49:13.320 it's alleged that CB radio
00:49:14.640 had been used
00:49:15.440 by one trucker
00:49:16.240 during the 1973
00:49:17.800 OPEC oil embargo
00:49:19.440 to start a nationwide
00:49:20.800 protest in the U.S.
00:49:22.320 against high fuel prices,
00:49:23.920 among other things.
00:49:24.920 And as Haru tells us,
00:49:26.100 the convoy
00:49:26.800 was more than likely
00:49:27.800 using CB radio
00:49:29.060 during its journey
00:49:30.020 to Ottawa.
00:49:31.240 Oh, they definitely are.
00:49:32.920 They definitely are.
00:49:34.240 It's a quickest way
00:49:35.840 of communicating.
00:49:37.220 Everybody is a one-child.
00:49:38.440 And all it takes
00:49:39.600 is one person
00:49:40.180 and you can talk
00:49:41.160 immediately.
00:49:42.360 So it's very quick
00:49:44.280 and everybody
00:49:46.520 can get to you
00:49:47.660 right away.
00:49:48.440 Like, you know,
00:49:49.440 if there's stock
00:49:50.980 or fuel
00:49:51.660 and, you know,
00:49:52.520 it's just,
00:49:53.300 it's a very quick way
00:49:54.880 of method
00:49:55.720 of communicating.
00:49:57.400 Where it's very,
00:49:57.960 so like someone
00:49:58.480 just picks stuff
00:49:59.260 and purchases a radio
00:50:00.220 and that's all
00:50:00.980 that's being aired
00:50:01.980 is other people talking.
00:50:03.780 Yeah, that's it.
00:50:04.540 The convoy drew
00:50:06.280 international attention
00:50:07.460 towards the peaceful fight
00:50:09.060 for civil liberties
00:50:10.020 here in Canada,
00:50:10.900 despite Trudeau's efforts
00:50:12.080 to thwart dissent.
00:50:13.320 This success
00:50:13.900 may partially be
00:50:14.920 thanks to CB radio,
00:50:16.460 both in terms of
00:50:17.200 navigating the convoy
00:50:18.420 as well as
00:50:19.060 the conveyance
00:50:19.780 of messaging
00:50:20.360 without government
00:50:21.220 or big tech consent.
00:50:23.080 Notably,
00:50:23.620 there was an increase
00:50:24.400 in CB radio sales
00:50:25.640 during the pandemic.
00:50:26.840 Meanwhile,
00:50:27.320 the government continues
00:50:28.220 to restrict media
00:50:29.260 on all fronts.
00:50:30.540 But this communications
00:50:31.500 platform provided
00:50:32.460 a separate world
00:50:33.440 for truckers
00:50:34.060 and convoy supporters
00:50:35.180 to communicate
00:50:35.920 with each other
00:50:36.560 without a third-party
00:50:38.020 overlord,
00:50:38.900 as emphasized
00:50:39.540 by the notable
00:50:40.700 entrepreneur Elon Musk
00:50:42.060 when he stated
00:50:42.780 that CB radios
00:50:43.940 are free from
00:50:44.780 government and media control.
00:50:46.900 Well, media control,
00:50:48.100 it kind of goes to,
00:50:49.900 I saw,
00:50:50.560 I don't know,
00:50:51.060 I'm not sure
00:50:51.520 if it was global
00:50:52.100 or CPV.
00:50:53.460 They just picked up
00:50:54.480 somebody random.
00:50:55.280 I advocate civil war.
00:50:57.720 If people don't
00:50:58.520 want to stand up,
00:50:59.800 we've got guns,
00:51:00.620 we'll stand up
00:51:01.480 and we'll bring them out.
00:51:02.960 They like to show
00:51:04.020 the negative side effect.
00:51:05.920 There's always bad apples.
00:51:07.400 It's a wrong message
00:51:08.220 being sent.
00:51:09.120 They always focus
00:51:10.220 on the wrong message
00:51:11.580 is what I believe.
00:51:14.320 And with CB radios
00:51:16.280 having them,
00:51:17.020 it's them
00:51:18.620 renegating why,
00:51:20.300 you know,
00:51:20.920 it's a real person
00:51:21.860 talking to you.
00:51:22.560 It's not a,
00:51:23.040 it's not a,
00:51:23.760 it's not a paid off
00:51:25.020 media talking to you,
00:51:25.940 right?
00:51:26.160 So it's different.
00:51:27.560 Haru highlights
00:51:28.200 a vital issue
00:51:29.120 we now face
00:51:29.800 here in Canada.
00:51:30.620 Major media outlets
00:51:31.780 are quick to spew
00:51:32.740 government positive
00:51:33.620 narratives while ignoring
00:51:35.000 the reality of the world
00:51:36.120 we live in.
00:51:36.880 Although it may have
00:51:37.580 played a unique role
00:51:38.700 in the trucker convoys
00:51:39.800 we've seen so far
00:51:40.720 in 2022,
00:51:41.840 it's not certain
00:51:42.480 to what capacity
00:51:43.500 CB radio
00:51:44.560 affected the protests.
00:51:46.060 Either way,
00:51:46.600 it might be worth
00:51:47.220 having one in the back pocket
00:51:48.740 just in case
00:51:49.520 as we're seeing
00:51:50.200 continued efforts
00:51:51.080 by our government
00:51:51.800 to restrict our free speech
00:51:53.600 on other communications platforms.
