Hello, my rebels. Today, I do a bit of a recap on last night's election. Not a lot has changed.
00:00:05.420
There were a few wonderful moments, like when Merriam Monson was sacked by the good people
00:00:10.240
of Peterborough. There's a very tight race, a nail-biter in Vancouver-Granville. Depends
00:00:15.380
who will pick up, what turns on it is who will succeed. Joey Wilson-Raybould as the MP for that
00:00:22.580
writing. I'll also tell you what it means for civil liberties when Justin Trudeau basically
00:00:28.760
declares war on his remaining media opponent, namely us, Rebel News. And we'll show you
00:00:34.520
all about that. During the course of the election, we made our paywall show free to the public
00:00:41.880

00:01:25.200
Tonight, it's the day after Canada's unnecessary election. What's changed for the world and for
00:01:32.360
us? It's September 21st, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.
00:01:38.180
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:41.440
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:45.500
The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher, is because it's my bloody
00:01:51.360
Hey, welcome back. I hope you tuned in last night, at least for part of our election night
00:02:01.680
live stream. We were live for almost five hours. I was out here in Toronto. Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:02:06.740
was based in the West, and we talked to our correspondents across the country, Drea Humphrey
00:02:11.840
in Vancouver, Adam Sose in Calgary and the rural parts. We talked to Alexa Lavoie, who flew
00:02:18.320
to Saskatchewan, where Maxime Bernier's People's Party had their headquarters. And David Menzies
00:02:24.080
was in the greater Toronto area, Richmond Hill to be precise, following an interesting race
00:02:29.560
there. Andrew Chapados joined us from his home in the Toronto area. We had lots of people
00:02:34.080
chiming in throughout the day, showcasing some of the amazing talent that Rebel News has put
00:02:39.800
together over the last year. You know, I counted up all the people who work for Rebel, who are
00:02:45.560
either on TV, on camera, full-time or part-time. In Canada alone, I'm not even talking about
00:02:51.360
our friends in Australia or our new friend in the UK. In Canada alone, we have 17 people
00:02:57.140
who at least occasionally appear on camera. By that, I mean, maybe their main job is editing,
00:03:04.580
but they're on camera from time to time. So we deployed the largest force ever. And I really
00:03:10.500
had fun last night taking questions. Our primary forum last night was rumble.com. We also live
00:03:18.820
streamed on odyssey.com and a Canadian channel called superu.net. That was in addition to our
00:03:24.960
traditional YouTube channel, because as you know, YouTube is slowly, slowly starving us,
00:03:30.300
throttling us. They're going to eventually kill us. So we're trying to migrate most of our viewers
00:03:34.160
onto other platforms. And last night, we had more than double the number of people watching us on
00:03:39.880
Rumble then on YouTube. At the end of the night, I added it up, and we had 189,000 people who tuned
00:03:48.220
into Rebel News to get their information. That's amazing. And I saw this still image from, I think
00:03:55.800
it was Global TV, reporting from the scene on Maxine Bernier's headquarters. Look in the background.
00:04:03.720
That's us. That's our Rebel News live stream was what they were piping in to PPC headquarters.
00:04:08.460
I don't blame them. You know, the number one question that the journalist at Maxine Bernier's
00:04:14.100
headquarters had to ask wasn't about his incredible surge from, you know, pre-campaign of about one
00:04:20.060
and a half percent to over five percent, like tripling his party's support, having mass rallies and
00:04:25.920
inspiring what I think is the grassroots movement. They had nothing to ask him about that. They were
00:04:30.540
asking why he wasn't wearing masks. I kid you not. Listen to these reporters on the election night
00:04:36.960
whining about masks, which you know they don't wear except for when it's for performance art. Take a look at this.
00:04:42.420
Here in Saskatchewan, we're about a week away from starting to triage patients. Do you feel that this is
00:04:48.060
an irresponsible event because there's no masks? Or what are your thoughts on holding a gathering
00:04:53.280
like this during the time where we are about a week, a week and a half away from starting to triage
00:04:58.820
people in Saskatchewan? First of all, we must admit that unvaccinated people are not dangerous.
00:05:03.540
You know, everybody is in the same boat, vaccinated people and unvaccinated people. Everybody can
00:05:09.900
spread the virus. That's based on science. That's based on common sense. So that being said, there's
00:05:15.340
no way to do more discrimination and segregation in this country. We will fight always for our freedoms
00:05:20.660
and we want people to be able to decide if they want to wear a mask or not and if they want to have
00:05:27.240
the vaccine or not. And we don't want to live in a more socialist country and we don't want to live in a
00:05:34.500
country where everybody will have to show their papers like in communist China. That's not our country. That's a
00:05:40.640
fight that we always do. And that's why we are doing politics differently. We want to be sure that Canadians
00:05:46.040
understand that this election is an important one. It's about our rights and our freedoms. And the next one will be there
00:05:53.920
and we'll be always be there to fight for what we believe openly with passion and conviction.
00:05:59.060
Given Saskatchewan's high numbers, why did you decide to come here tonight?
00:06:02.360
We decided to come here tonight because we have a lot of support in Western Canada.
00:06:06.620
And, you know, look at the numbers, but look at the deaths. You know, numbers can be high everywhere,
00:06:12.040
but we're not in an emergency state right now. After more than one year, there's no emergency.
00:06:18.200
We must be able to go back to our lives. And that's not the case right now in a lot of provinces like here.
00:06:23.620
And I'm the only real opposition in this country that will fight for freedom. Everything that is
00:06:29.580
happening right now here, it's unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, and unjust. We are putting
00:06:36.380
people in different two classes of citizens, vaccinated ones that are supposed to be the
00:06:42.580
good ones and unvaccinated ones that are supposed to be the bad ones. We want to unite Canadians under
00:06:48.100
the freedom umbrella. Everybody must be free to do what they want to do with their life.
00:06:52.600
And there's no emergency anymore. Look at the death in this country.
00:06:56.320
And on command, the Saskatoon police actually tweeted that they were on the file.
00:07:02.420
Serious crime being committed. Apparently there's no crimes being committed in all of Saskatchewan,
00:07:06.920
but they wanted to, well, they didn't dare arrest Maxime Bernier, or would they?
00:07:10.740
He was arrested at the behest of Manitoba's premier a few weeks ago, and that was fine by the media.
00:07:16.360
We had a great night in terms of what Rebel had done. We had covered the news. We had the best
00:07:24.660
questions in the leaders' debate during the campaign. We had to fight our way in there.
00:07:30.740
But at the end of the night, although we yo-yoed a bit throughout the evening, as you know today,
00:07:36.020
the results of the election were almost exactly, in terms of seat count, what they were before the
00:07:44.440
election was called. Almost nothing changed other than the taxpayers out close to a billion dollars.
00:07:51.420
I want to show you a couple of clips from that, and we'll talk to Spencer Fernando later.
00:07:58.280
Here's Justin Trudeau claiming that he has some sort of mandate to proceed. Take a look at this.
00:08:06.120
Thank you all. You are sending us back to work with a clear mandate to get Canada through this
00:08:14.900
pandemic and to the brighter days ahead. And my friends, that's exactly what we are ready to do.
00:08:22.620
A mandate? He won the election with 32%, the lowest percentage that any Canadian government,
00:08:32.320
federal government in history, has won. And yet, because of our quirky past the post system of how
00:08:38.820
it's all added up, that 32% was enough to put him in charge. Never before has it happened with such a
00:08:45.440
low count. And by the way, voter turnout was down, I guess partly because of people afraid to go out
00:08:51.160
from the COVID, I think. Also partly because it was cold during the summer. I don't know. I think people
00:08:56.880
were just frustrated by the lack of choice, is what I would say. But the voter turnout was down
00:09:03.280
significantly. And so even though Justin Trudeau got about 30% of the vote, he did so in a much
00:09:09.960
voter smaller, a much smaller voter pool. In fact, he received about 1.5 million votes less than he had
00:09:19.720
last time. And yet he's claiming a mandate. In fact, here's his senior global warming strategist
00:09:25.960
hired from the Tides Foundation is where she came from. Here she is crowing on Twitter that this is a
00:09:31.220
mandate to proceed even more dramatically on the global warming file. I'm not sure if it's that,
00:09:38.100
but I think Trudeau will do what he always wants to do. I mean, he didn't, if you listen to when he
00:09:44.380
said he believed in China's basic dictatorship, remember how he finished that sentence. It was
00:09:49.040
so they could do environmental action twice as fast as a democracy with checks and balances could. So
00:09:55.620
here's that full quote where he talks about using the basic dictatorship to ram through
00:10:01.000
environmental ideas. Look at this. The level of admiration I actually have for China
00:10:07.660
because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and
00:10:17.540
say, we need to go green as fast as we need to start investing in solar. Yeah. So I don't think
00:10:22.440
Trudeau has a mandate, but really if the NDP and the bloc and even Erin O'Toole are all agreements,
00:10:29.100
agreement on the basic principles, the carbon tax is good. We got a transition off the oil sands.
00:10:34.360
We somehow think that the Paris global warming meeting that the UN had is binding on us. There
00:10:40.460
really is no difference of opinion amongst the old school parties on any of this. So maybe Trudeau
00:10:46.100
actually does have a mandate in that Tweedledee, Tweedledum and all the other think-alikes in the party
00:10:52.620
leadership. They're all on board with that. I was desperate for some good news last night, and I found
00:10:58.740
it in the little city of Peterborough, Ontario, which is quite a lovely city. And if you ever have the
00:11:04.800
chance, just go there. You'll be surprised what a lovely town it is. And I have to say my esteem for
00:11:11.640
Peterborough, which was always there. It reached new heights yesterday when they threw out Miriam
00:11:17.380
Monsef, the woman who just weeks ago, in a prepared script, this was not a gaffe. This was not her
00:11:23.980
extemporaneously riffing. She said the Taliban were her brothers. Remember this?
00:11:31.640
I want to take this opportunity to speak to our brothers, the Taliban.
00:11:38.160
We call on you to ensure the safe and secure passage of any individual in Afghanistan out of
00:11:47.960
the country. Yeah, that's just so gross. Remember, she, of course, was a liar who lied on her refugee
00:11:53.920
application, claiming she was from Afghanistan as opposed to Iran, which is the truth. Here's Bob
00:11:58.620
Fyfe asking her about that. And look at her lie. She's such a bad liar.
00:12:05.700
Well, Trudeau didn't throw her out right then and there, which he should have done. But the good
00:12:09.500
people of Peterborough took care of that business last night, and I congratulate them. That's the
00:12:14.820
one shining light for me. On the other side of the country, in a lovely riding, again, I'm just,
00:12:20.860
if you've ever been to Vancouver, you've simply got to go to Granville Island, especially if you like
00:12:24.920
to snack, which rumor has it I do. The outgoing MP there, of course, was Jody Wilson-Raybould,
00:12:31.100
perhaps the most ethical MP of our age, someone who was the justice minister and gave it all up
00:12:36.660
because she wouldn't go along with Justin Trudeau's corrupt plans. Well, that riding,
00:12:43.020
given that Jody Wilson-Raybould was no longer running again, it was an open seat. And the
00:12:48.160
liberals ran a star candidate called Talib Nur-Muhammad. And it was revealed that he is a
00:12:54.940
schemer and a scammer who made his living speculating, buying properties and flipping them,
00:13:01.500
never taking possession of them, flipping them to families who desperately needed them. But he would
00:13:06.900
buy them up, flip them, and resell them at a higher price. He did this over 40 times. This,
00:13:14.260
even though that city was the center of Trudeau's plan to reduce housing costs, it scammers like this.
00:13:19.960
And I don't know if there was any criminality. I don't know if there was mortgage fraud involved.
00:13:23.260
Believe me, I think there should be an investigation because it's so irregular. Who
00:13:26.500
buys and sells 42 houses over the course of a couple of decades? But listen to this crooked
00:13:32.080
little liberal evading and fibbing and dodging and weaving when he was asked basic questions about
00:13:38.620
it. Look at this. How much have you profited on those 25 in the past decade? I mean, I'm not,
00:13:46.820
you know, I think it's important to talk about, I'm going to answer that question again,
00:13:51.700
how much have you profited personally or business-wise on the sales of those 25 properties in the last
00:14:14.520
decade? While I can't give you an exact number, what I can tell you is that it is by no means the
00:14:21.360
number that has been bid forward. But what I can also tell you is that I am absolutely committed to
00:14:25.320
any and all measures that we have put forward that would, that would apply.
00:14:30.800
Well, I sure wish Jody Wilson-Raybould had been running as an independent. I think she would have won.
00:14:35.740
Because Talib Nur-Muhammad, that crooked guy you saw there, is within 1% of the win all night. It was
00:14:44.120
between him and actually the local NDP candidate. And as of this morning, when I last checked the
00:14:49.860
count, I think there was one poll outstanding, Talib Nur-Muhammad, that crooked liberal, was ahead
00:14:54.760
by like 1%. I think it's close enough that there may be an automatic recount. But it's just quite
00:15:00.980
something if Talib Nur-Muhammad wins again for that riding Vancouver-Granville, wonderful place
00:15:05.200
to go from the most ethical MP in Canada, Jody Wilson-Raybould, to a confessed crook who
00:15:15.680
is brazen about it. Imagine switching such a polarity. I've got whiplash just thinking about it.
00:15:24.100
Now, as the polls were about to close, who were still open and voting in Western Canada was still open,
00:15:29.400
uh, Aaron O'Toole, his campaign bosses started spinning their defeat. As in, they had allowed
00:15:38.860
themselves to hope and to whisper to anyone who would listen that they had a real chance
00:15:43.760
of winning the election. They said that just a couple of weeks ago. And indeed, pollsters
00:15:47.780
seem to show that, had the election been called two weeks ago, O'Toole would have likely won
00:15:53.620
a minority government. Well, last night, you could see the campaign chairman, Waleed Solomon,
00:15:59.640
who is famous for working with that corrupt other Ontario politician, Patrick Brown, uh,
00:16:05.540
the short-lived leader of the provincial Conservative Party. Waleed Solomon told the Toronto Star,
00:16:10.900
before polls had closed, that no, no, no, uh, it's not going to be a blowout. And it's simply a win
00:16:17.280
to stop Trudeau from getting a majority. I mean, he basically was trying to spin his own disastrous
00:16:22.920
campaign. You can see the headline right here. About two weeks ago is when, uh, Aaron O'Toole
00:16:30.140
panicked. The liberals were coming at him with the old reliable accusations. You're going to ban
00:16:35.800
abortion. You're going to give every child a gun or whatever insane things they cooked up.
00:16:40.860
And the answer, of course, is to not to play that game, to choose your own controversies on purpose.
00:16:47.340
And O'Toole actually had one or two of those when he said he would raise Canada's flags again.
00:16:52.220
He would oppose tearing down statues. You know, that's a mild controversy, but it is controversial
00:16:57.840
in these days to say you'll stand by Canadian icons. But instead of choosing his controversy,
00:17:02.660
like saying, oh, I'm really against the concept of lockdowns. I think we have to move away from a
00:17:07.640
punishment approach. I think we have to respect civil liberties. Like you don't even have to go
00:17:12.320
full Ron DeSantis. Instead of choosing those controversies, he allowed himself to get bogged
00:17:18.180
down, especially on the firearms question. And he managed to confirm all of the suspicions in the
00:17:25.140
media by changing his platform on the fly in response to liberal and media demands that he
00:17:31.220
agree with the liberals on everything they have to say about guns, about firearms. And he did.
00:17:36.680
So he blinked. He showed weakness. He confirmed the accusations by basically agreeing to them.
00:17:42.960
And he demoralized his own party. I think that's the moment where O'Toole fell back. And of course,
00:17:48.660
it was just like his decision to fall back on carbon taxes, which he calls carbon levies.
00:17:53.880
I mean, the question is, if you are indistinguishable from the liberals, why wouldn't people just vote for
00:18:01.400
the liberals? They're better at being liberals? Now, one of the things that the polls generally
00:18:07.980
got right, but that I got wrong, was the PPC, the People's Party, led by Maxime Bernier.
00:18:14.100
There are a few outlier polls, a few rogue polls, especially ones done by Frank Graves of ECOS. And
00:18:20.120
I should have remembered that Frank Graves is a extremist partisan, really strange for a pollster,
00:18:26.460
or the Twitter wars he gets into. He's a bought and paid for liberal. In fact, he gives private
00:18:31.620
advice to the liberal party, which is so odd for a pollster to do. So when he said in his polls that
00:18:38.440
Maxime Bernier's party was at 10, 11, 12 percent, I allowed myself to think, well, maybe that's true.
00:18:43.740
I didn't discount it, realizing that ECOS is the least reliable pollster.
00:18:47.820
So when the Maxime Bernier vote came in, it was not 10 percent. It was more like 5 percent,
00:18:55.120
a little bit higher than that. And no doubt, that was a huge success to triple the party's support,
00:19:00.640
more than double the Green Party's support, and smashing any attempt by the Future Debates
00:19:06.840
Commission to keep out Maxime Bernier and the People's Party, though they'll rig the rules again.
00:19:11.020
So I was disappointed in the People's Party outcomes. There were some writings where they had
00:19:15.720
double digits, and there were definitely some writings when the People's Party clearly stopped
00:19:21.100
the Conservative Party from winning. Now, Aaron O'Toole, in the final weeks of the campaign,
00:19:25.540
condemned Maxime Bernier and the People's Party and said a vote for Bernier is actually a vote for
00:19:30.460
Trudeau. But that's not really true, because voters aren't owned by any party. They, especially
00:19:37.460
Maxime Bernier's supporters, tend to be policy-driven. They tend to be ideas-driven. They don't owe their
00:19:42.940
allegiance to some stranger named Aaron O'Toole, who they only just heard of, and who seems to sell
00:19:47.320
out on every issue. I think that if Aaron O'Toole had been warmer towards those disaffected people,
00:19:54.820
and talked more about the language of freedom, and even gently opposed lockdowns and vaccine
00:20:00.080
passports, I think he would have picked up one, two, three percent of those five percent that went
00:20:05.560
for Bernier. And I think he would have had a few more seats. More than that, he would have chosen his
00:20:10.360
own controversies, rather than letting the media party choose a controversy for him. But I have to
00:20:15.080
say, I think that Maxime Bernier has built a movement. Now, the locus, the place of that movement,
00:20:21.820
it's actually not in his own riding of Quebec. If you look in his riding of Beauce, Quebec,
00:20:26.640
he fell back. He wasn't even in contention. Maxime Bernier was the strongest in the prairies,
00:20:33.420
in Alberta, in Saskatchewan, and some Ontario ridings. I think that's interesting. I think he's built a
00:20:37.800
movement. We have a friend named Viva Frye. He's a YouTuber. His real name is David Frye. He's a
00:20:42.480
thoughtful law blogger. And he ran as a People's Party candidate. And of course, hundreds did.
00:20:48.180
And I think it transformed them into perpetual activists. I think Maxime Bernier really is
00:20:53.000
creating a movement. Whether or not he can turn that movement into a party is yet to be seen.
00:20:58.920
So what now? Well, I showed you that Justin Trudeau claims he has a mandate based on his 32 percent.
00:21:05.780
But I think he will act that way. I mean, he always has acted that way. Nothing stops him.
00:21:12.760
You heard him of what he likes about China's basic dictatorship. I think the greenhouse gases war on
00:21:19.100
fossil fuels absolutely will continue. There's a lot of lobbyist money behind that. And Trudeau is
00:21:24.480
nothing if not a globalist. But I think you're going to see the vaccine passports proceed with a
00:21:29.580
vengeance. And finally, I think you're going to see Trudeau's censorship come forward. And I want to
00:21:34.960
play for you a clip. And I've shown this to you several times, but it's worth watching many times.
00:21:40.340
You know the one I'm talking about. It's Alexa Lavoie asking Justin Trudeau a question,
00:21:45.840
and a legitimate question about immunity. If you get COVID and recover from it, your natural
00:21:52.980
immunity in various studies is many times stronger, according to Israeli studies, than vaccine
00:21:58.420
immunity. It was a legit question, great question, about the vaccine passport. But Trudeau,
00:22:02.700
his answer, which cheered the left. I'll talk about his answer in a second. Here, remember
00:22:11.300
For Rebel News. So, Mr. Trudeau, I'm going to go back to what happened here. You have
00:22:17.080
diabolised l'un des rares médias qui ne reçoit pas d'argent du gouvernement. Vous
00:22:22.700
avez exprimé votre opinion en disant que nous propageons la désinformation. Si c'était
00:22:28.780
vrai et si c'était le cas, la Cour fédérale ne nous aurait pas permis d'être ici aujourd'hui.
00:22:33.960
Je suis moi-même scientifique et je me base sur les faits. Ma question est la suivante.
00:22:40.900
L'Israël est l'un des pays les plus vaccinés au monde. Ils sont rendus maintenant à leur
00:22:46.400
quatrième rappel de vaccin. Ils ne considèrent plus que ceux qui ont reçu deux doses de vaccin
00:22:51.380
sont pleinement vaccinés. Ma question est, plusieurs Canadiens ne désirent pas avoir un
00:23:02.400
rappel de vaccin. Allez-vous enlever leurs privilèges reliés au passeport vaccinal? Et
00:23:12.240
aurez-vous l'obligence de répondre à ma question en tant que premier ministre ou allez-vous
00:23:20.980
J'ai partagé ma perspective sur ton organisation hier soir. Je n'ai plus rien à dire.
00:23:28.680
So besides Trudeau not being able to handle strong women, and we know that, he sacked
00:23:35.200
Jodie Wilson-Raybould, he sacked Jane Philpott, he sacked Selina Chavannes. He's just not good
00:23:41.220
with women who have strong opinions. It's something he picked up from his father, who unfortunately
00:23:46.260
used to beat his mother. But Justin Trudeau, he showed not only that he wouldn't or couldn't
00:23:52.240
answer the substantive question, and he couldn't handle Alexa's question. But there was something
00:23:57.440
more important because we had just been allowed into that debate by order of the federal court.
00:24:05.660
Remember that Trudeau's handpicked debates commission had spent two years scheming and
00:24:09.840
strategizing legal ways to keep us out, but only us. And how do you possibly make a rule
00:24:15.800
that only keeps Rebel News out, but not all their liberal friends? There was really no way to do it
00:24:21.000
other than what I call a bill of attainder. That's an old-fashioned way of saying a law that applies
00:24:25.900
to one guy. They basically said, everyone's allowed in, including foreign press, including
00:24:31.500
state-owned foreign press, everyone's allowed in except Rebel News. Well, the federal court struck
00:24:37.560
that down quickly, and it was wonderful to have a judge from Newfoundland strike down that Ottawa
00:24:42.960
Old Boys Club. Seven lawyers on the government side, and we beat them. So there we are, Alexis
00:24:48.040
asking the question, and the context is, we were just ordered in there against Trudeau's wishes
00:24:54.460
by the federal court, and yet he says that he will not answer Alexa. And here's a little bit of his
00:25:01.300
answer earlier, when Tamara Ugolini asked him the same thing. And listen to how he says,
00:25:07.540
you are not journalists. So you saw the question from Alexa, and his answer is saying,
00:25:13.200
I've already said what I have to say to you. Here's Tamara's question and the answer to her.
00:25:18.360
I have a question from Tamara Ugolini from Rebel News.
00:25:24.380
Mr. Trudeau, the only reason that I'm allowed to ask you this question is because today the federal
00:25:30.500
court ruled that the government doesn't have the right to determine who is or is not a journalist.
00:25:36.140
This is the second election in a row that the court had to overturn your government.
00:25:40.620
Do you still insist on being able to make that decision, and why?
00:25:46.720
First of all, questions around accreditation were handled by the Press Gallery and the Consortium
00:25:53.160
of Networks, who have strong perspectives on quality journalism and the important information
00:26:00.320
that is shared with Canadians. The reality is, organizations like yours,
00:26:09.560
that continue to spread misinformation and disinformation on the science around vaccines,
00:26:17.900
around how we're going to actually get through this pandemic and be there for each other and keep
00:26:23.720
our kids safe, is part of why we're seeing such unfortunate anger and lack of understanding of
00:26:33.760
basic science. And quite frankly, your, I won't call it a media organization, your group of individuals
00:26:41.940
need to take accountability for some of the polarization that we're seeing in this country.
00:26:49.580
And I think Canadians are cluing into the fact that there is a really important decision we take
00:26:56.620
about the kind of country we want to see. And I salute all extraordinary, hardworking journalists
00:27:02.440
that put science and facts at the heart of what they do and ask me tough questions every day,
00:27:09.060
but make sure that they are educating and informing Canadians from a broad range of perspectives,
00:27:19.060
So did you catch that? The federal court just said we were journalists. The federal court just said
00:27:27.200
we are as good as anyone else. And by the way, Trudeau was lying when he says we engage in
00:27:32.060
misinformation. We've never been tagged with misinformation by any fact checker, by any social
00:27:37.140
media company on the issues of vaccines and the pandemic. That's just a lie. In fact, Trudeau was
00:27:42.040
tagged during this campaign for media manipulation by Twitter. But it's not whether or not he's right and
00:27:46.480
wrong or wrong. We think he's wrong. He thinks he's right. That's fine. But his answer showed
00:27:52.060
that he doesn't care what the courts say. The ruling from the court was still hot off the presses.
00:28:00.600
The ink wasn't dry on it. We were journalists and we're to be accredited. And in the face of that,
00:28:05.560
he said, you are not even journalists. Well, the court just said we were. And you just showed you don't
00:28:11.900
care what the court says. Do you doubt such a man will bring in his censorship law against us?
00:28:19.060
And do you think that Erin O'Toole will stop him? If you do, let me remind you what Erin O'Toole's
00:28:26.220
handpicked critic for Heritage has to say. Here's Alain Reyes saying we need more censorship. Take a look at this.
00:28:32.180
But we don't see it in the bill. There's nothing in this bill that allows for the regulation of social
00:28:40.700
media or platforms like YouTube. And it's clear we would have liked to have seen this in the bill.
00:28:46.880
The minister even says we have to find a way of preventing hate speech, conspiracy theories and
00:28:55.400
fake news that's shared. But right now in the bill, unfortunately, we won't even be able to amend
00:29:03.060
it in that aspect. And because it's simply absent from the bill. So where does that leave us now,
00:29:08.420
the day after the election? Well, in many ways, it leaves us no different than we were before the
00:29:13.420
election. Although Trudeau's claiming a mandate, well, he would have claimed that anyways. But I think
00:29:18.400
he's going to move with great fury to bring in a national vaccine passport and a lockdown on those
00:29:25.880
who don't comply with his big pharma plan. I think he's going to spend the money that his advisors tell
00:29:33.480
him to on a green scheme and phasing out the oil signs. I think he absolutely will. And I think he's
00:29:40.340
going to come for the media he hates the most. That's us here at Rebel News. And we're going to find
00:29:45.720
them every step of the way. But we're not going to be distracted from our other mission, fighting
00:29:50.680
vaccine passports, which is now the largest civil liberties legal project that we've ever engaged. As
00:29:56.180
you know, our Fight the Fines project had over 2,000 clients that we helped. And we're still fighting
00:30:01.360
those. But fighting vaccine passports, although we won't have 2,000 individual cases, each battle we fight
00:30:08.740
could affect dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people. I spent about half my day here at Rebel
00:30:15.080
News working on that fight vaccine passports question, assembling law firms or lawyers across
00:30:21.760
the country along with our other teammates. And I believe that that is the important work we must do
00:30:28.220
in the months ahead. Because if we don't, who's going to? Stay with us for more.
00:30:36.100
Welcome back. Well, a pundit who I follow religiously, I follow him on Twitter. I am a
00:30:54.180
subscriber to his SpencerFernando.com website is Spencer Fernando. And he joins us now via Skype
00:31:00.440
from Winnipeg. Great to see you. What do you make of last night? It's incredible to me that the
00:31:06.880
results were so similar to what they were in the last election, almost down to the exact number.
00:31:13.020
Yeah, obviously a huge waste of time and money, as I said on Twitter. And, you know, I mean, I guess,
00:31:18.960
you know, people can say, you know, it's good that Trudeau didn't get a majority. That's really the only
00:31:23.380
good thing we can say about the election. I mean, otherwise, it's he's still going to be the prime
00:31:27.420
minister, unfortunately. O'Toole certainly failed. Jagmeet Singh failed. You know, we saw what
00:31:32.900
happened to Annamie Paul. So I don't think anyone really has any, you know, reason to be too happy
00:31:37.600
about what happened. It's kind of a loss for everybody. Yeah, I thought the strangest comment
00:31:43.320
last night was from Justin Trudeau, who got about 32%, the lowest number of any winning party in
00:31:50.540
Canadian history. He had about a million and a half votes fewer this time than last time,
00:31:56.400
because voter turnout was was down. And he said, we have a clear mandate. And I just chuckled because
00:32:02.720
I thought, if this is a clear mandate, what, you know, I mean, what would it take for him to realize
00:32:09.340
he doesn't have a clear mandate? I think that he's going to do whatever he wants. He thought he could
00:32:14.480
grab a majority. He didn't. But I don't think this is going to change his plans. One iota. What do you
00:32:21.260
think? Well, yeah, I mean, you look at the liberals and NDP together, they have a majority of seats,
00:32:26.580
right? And the NDP, you know, I'm sure they're not not going to want an election for a while.
00:32:31.220
And Trudeau is going to give them everything they want. I mean, their agendas are pretty lined up,
00:32:34.800
especially given how far he's moved to the left and how Jagmeet Singh has really been willing to
00:32:39.440
support most of what Trudeau does. So yeah, sure, he doesn't technically have a majority,
00:32:43.740
but he's going to be able to pass whatever, you know, left-wing legislation he wants.
00:32:47.420
Yeah, I'm worried he's going to bring in that censorship legislation. I want to play for you
00:32:53.200
a clip from his victory speech last night, if you can call it that, because maybe this is just
00:32:59.520
generic outreach. When you win an election, you try and seem magnanimous in victory to those who
00:33:06.000
didn't vote for you. And in this case, the 68% of Canadians who did not vote for him. I wonder if
00:33:12.440
there's anything more in it, because of course, Trudeau has been demonizing people who are not
00:33:16.820
vaccinated. He implies that they're unclean and have to be punished. Take a listen to this clip
00:33:21.340
from Trudeau. And Spencer, my question for you is, is this just generic, hey, I'm the prime minister
00:33:27.360
for everyone? You know, is that just a generic statement, like a hallmark greeting card? Don't
00:33:34.660
read too much into it. Or does this imply that maybe he's going to be a little bit less antagonistic
00:33:40.980
to those who don't want the vax? Take a listen. And if you did not vote for us, I want you to know
00:33:47.160
that we will stand up for you and work for you every single day.
00:33:58.460
Because no matter how you voted, just like no matter where you come from, what language you speak,
00:34:05.320
the color of your skin, the way you pray, I hear you. I hear you when you say that we can only move
00:34:13.560
forward if no one is left behind. Our shared future is built vote by vote, door by door, and above all,
00:34:27.920
Spencer, so he's talking about not leaving anyone behind, not discriminating based on the way you pray,
00:34:33.720
etc. I noticed he didn't, I mean, he listed some of the things that are protected in our chart of
00:34:38.260
rights, religion, race, gender, etc. I noticed he did not talk about medical status, about vaccination
00:34:44.640
status. So he's trying to be the healer, come together, leave no one else behind. He didn't
00:34:50.360
mention unvaxed people. What do you think? Do you think there's a deeper meaning there? Or are these
00:34:54.180
just cliches and I shouldn't read too much into it? Yeah, I mean, I think it's all really bullshit for
00:34:59.460
him at this point. We saw the kind of campaign he ran. I mean, look, the second he started to think
00:35:04.400
he was losing in the election, he ran the most us versus them demonizing, using a lot of rhetoric
00:35:09.340
we've actually seen that's quite dangerous throughout history, you know, to pit, you know,
00:35:13.260
part of the population against another. So of course, when he wins, it's easy to play the nice
00:35:17.460
guy when you're the winner, right? Everyone's happy. Oh, I already won. I'm still in power. So I'll be
00:35:21.120
nice today. But no, it doesn't mean anything to me. He's, he showed, you know, who he really was.
00:35:26.360
And that's a divisive person who will pick Canadians against each other for his own political
00:35:30.500
gain. And I don't think we should, you know, expect anything other than that.
00:35:34.780
Yeah. You know, I just recently rewatched the film American Psycho and the, the crazy talk
00:35:43.800
of the star of that movie, sociopathic, say anything to get through the moment really reminded
00:35:52.440
me of Justin Trudeau. And I'm not implying that he's a psychopath. I don't think he is,
00:35:56.460
but I think he is someone who is a manipulator and who will literally say anything in the moment
00:36:02.360
for temporary advantage. And I think last night he wanted to look prime ministerial,
00:36:07.800
but I think he's going to be as brutal as ever. And, and I think he's going to proceed on his
00:36:11.980
vaccine passports. I think he's going to proceed on the censorship. Let me switch gears. So Spencer,
00:36:15.860
I want to ask you about the conservative leader, Aaron O'Toole. There was a moment there in the
00:36:21.000
campaign where he looked like he might actually pick up seats. There was a moment where pretty
00:36:24.700
much all the polling suggested he would win a minority at, and there was a little bit of hope
00:36:31.580
there. I'm not sure why it didn't happen. I have my own theories, but here's what Aaron O'Toole said
00:36:36.640
in his, I'm not going to call it a victory speech, his, I don't know if you call it a concession speech,
00:36:42.700
but here's what he said. And, and I, I show you this language because this is the language he used
00:36:49.220
when he, uh, dedicated the party to a carbon tax over the wishes of the party membership that who
00:36:57.240
had just voted against it. You might recall there was a policy convention a few months ago,
00:37:01.460
uh, O'Toole wanted to have his, uh, liberal light carbon levy in there. The membership were against
00:37:09.400
it. And O'Toole said, I don't, I'm not going to listen to you and you guys have to change.
00:37:14.380
Listen to that language here again. We have shown ourselves to have the courage to be bold and to
00:37:21.380
have the courage to change. We must hold fast to that courage. We must show Canadians that we will
00:37:29.360
not waver in our commitment to growth. The courage to change. Now he talked a little bit earlier about
00:37:36.340
different racial and religious groups. Listen, the conservative party is as diverse as any party.
00:37:41.140
I don't think any serious critic, uh, doubts that. I mean, that's some bad faith CBC types who might
00:37:46.160
call the party racist. So I know he's not talking about having more diversity in the party. It's
00:37:52.100
very diverse. I think when he says the courage to change and, um, to keep growing, I think he means
00:38:01.060
to keep changing the party policy. So it's not quite as conservative. I think that's what that means.
00:38:07.200
I noticed he didn't throw a bone to PPC voters, many of whom had, you know, are refugees from the
00:38:13.260
conservative party. That's my take. What do you make of that comment by O'Toole?
00:38:18.460
Yeah, well, I mean, it's a good point you make about how diverse the party was. I mean, they had a
00:38:22.460
very diverse caucus under Harper, right? So the idea that diversity is a problem for them doesn't really
00:38:27.600
make sense. And, you know, the thing with O'Toole is he, he completely buys into the liberal worldview
00:38:33.540
and then wants to make a few tweaks. And I think that's, that's the big problem he has, right?
00:38:37.840
So he's constantly apologizing for the conservative party. He's constantly saying it needs to
00:38:41.740
change. He, he moves all the policy towards the liberals and towards the left. And he's obviously
00:38:47.600
going to keep doing that, right? So with the carbon tax, I mean, it's not courageous to betray a
00:38:52.120
promise, you know, and pledges you made to multiple people, multiple organizations, things you said in
00:38:57.060
the leadership race, betray your membership, you know, lie to people. There's nothing courageous
00:39:01.120
about that. It's just, it's opportunism and it's, you know, it's kind of politics at its worst.
00:39:06.300
So he's going to keep giving in to the liberals on every issue. And then, and then think that
00:39:11.400
works. It's funny though. He talks about the party needs to grow. I mean, they didn't grow at all
00:39:15.580
last night. They got exactly what they did under Andrew Scheer. Scheer was attacked for being
00:39:19.660
supposedly too conservative on some things, but I mean, did they do any better under O'Toole?
00:39:25.240
Did they win in Ontario where he said he could win? Did they win the votes of the people he,
00:39:29.160
I mean, his strategy was obviously to switch the votes, you know, to lose some right-wing votes
00:39:34.240
and then gain some centrist votes. That didn't work. They didn't do better in the GTA and they
00:39:38.540
didn't really improve anywhere. And in many ways, he may have made things worse because he's not only,
00:39:43.200
you know, lost the election, but he also has really validated the left-wing liberal worldview.
00:39:49.520
He's basically said, yeah, they're right about everything, but I don't like how they manage
00:39:53.220
their, you know, the government. So I'm going to manage it a little differently,
00:39:56.780
but I'm going to give in to them on basically every issue and play into their framing on every
00:40:01.120
issue. So that's not really a win by any means for them. And to say, oh, I held them to a minority.
00:40:06.220
I mean, a lot of organizations helped, you know, hold the liberals to a minority by pushing back
00:40:10.360
on their lies, but I don't think you can give the Conservative Party any credit for that.
00:40:15.300
Yeah. I think that one of the mistakes of Aaron O'Toole and the Conservatives is they not only
00:40:22.980
were going to try and swap some of their, quote, excess votes in the West where they were winning
00:40:28.100
super majorities. I think the theory was we don't need to win by 75% in Alberta. Let's just get 45%.
00:40:35.460
We'll win it. Even if we lose one or two seats, which they did yesterday, they lost another one
00:40:40.260
in Edmonton, another one in Calgary. Well, they'll make up for it by getting 10 in Ontario and who
00:40:46.580
wouldn't want that math. But that didn't really happen. And in fact, they sacked a few candidates
00:40:53.800
along the way for real cancel culture type moves. Like in Yukon, their candidate in Yukon came within
00:40:59.920
153 votes last time of winning. But because he expressed concern for civil liberties during the
00:41:05.640
lockdown, he was sacked. He ran as an independent. He didn't win. But the liberal won by default.
00:41:11.260
There were a number of ridings where either O'Toole sacked the candidate and that happened or the PPC
00:41:17.780
candidate probably shaved enough votes off. I remember when Stephen Harper took over the Conservative
00:41:23.180
Party almost 20 years ago and his first order of business was reunify it. Unify the dissident Reform
00:41:31.340
Party MPs. Unify with Peter McKay. I sense that Aaron O'Toole not only doesn't want to reunify with the
00:41:38.540
PPC voters, but he actually wouldn't mind throwing out a few more troublesome MPs like Cheryl Gallant,
00:41:45.500
who he got to cork it. Dave Yertega from Fort McMurray, he threw out. I just, I think he's got
00:41:51.720
that cancel culture vibe that is not inherently Conservative. What do you think?
00:41:56.840
Yeah, I mean, I'm seeing some people tweeting that, oh, we need to keep, you know, getting rid of,
00:42:00.980
it's not my language, their language, or the yahoos in the Conservative Party. That's what people,
00:42:05.720
some people have been saying. But then it's so hypocritical because I see some of those same
00:42:10.300
people saying, oh, the PPC costs us the election. Well, you don't get to insult people, you know,
00:42:14.800
call them extremists, push them out of your party, distance your party from them. And then when they
00:42:19.100
do the logical thing, which is vote for somebody else, since they're obviously not wanted in one
00:42:23.340
party, then you complain that they costed the election, right? It's the attitude of entitlement.
00:42:27.240
Oh, we're entitled to whatever vote we think is somewhat right or center right, but we also get to
00:42:31.920
insult you. And by the way, we're not actually going to give you any real policy changes or
00:42:35.740
anything you want, but you have to vote for us anyway, right? Because we're the only alternative.
00:42:39.900
So, I mean, I guess they're surprised that people voted for an alternative, but that's what is
00:42:46.460
I just wish the Conservatives had been 5% more pro-freedom and anti-lockdown. Not even going
00:42:52.740
full Ron DeSantis, but at least telegraph to voters out there. If you're concerned about civil
00:42:57.600
liberties, if you think the lockdown's gone too far, come to us, we'll moderately oppose it. You
00:43:02.480
don't have to be a full-blown, you know, freedom fighter, but just silence there. I think if O'Toole
00:43:07.820
had shown a little bit of magnanimity, and I'm not even saying towards Maxime Bernier personally,
00:43:12.460
but if he had just shown some magnanimity to the concerns of millions of Canadians, I think he would
00:43:17.700
have grown his vote, probably held the PPC at bay, and probably picked up at least a handful more
00:43:22.740
seats anyways. We'll have to see. It seems clear to me, though, even in the, not even 12 hours since
00:43:28.120
the results were finalized, pretty much. I don't know if there's an appetite within either the
00:43:33.620
Liberals or the Conservatives to change the leader. I know Chrystia Freeland and, of course, Mark Carney
00:43:38.620
and the Liberals want to be leader one day, but I don't think either are going to make a move,
00:43:42.840
and I don't see the same thing in the Conservatives. I don't see an appetite for throwing the leader
00:43:47.720
Well, there's a lot of people on Twitter, certainly, who want O'Toole gone, and whether
00:43:53.160
that translates to actual party membership remains to be seen. You can never be certain
00:43:57.320
about what social media means, but I mean, it's going to be, I think there's going to be a real
00:44:01.260
fight. I'm sure there's a lot of NPs within the Conservative Party who have kind of chafed under
00:44:06.100
the very centralized rule that O'Toole's imposed, have been pretty angry at the fact that they're
00:44:11.440
being told to go out and sell a platform that they probably don't believe in. Probably watched
00:44:15.900
his speech last night and said, well, you didn't do any better than Andrew Scheer, but you keep
00:44:19.620
saying how your approach is a winning approach, and it looks like you're going to go even more
00:44:23.340
to the left, which, of course, will push more people to the PPC. So I expect there's going
00:44:27.760
to be a civil war within the Conservative Party and a real fight. You know, O'Toole's going
00:44:32.320
to fight to keep his job. I'm sure there's some people who are going to fight to try to,
00:44:35.680
you know, subtly, you know, get him out of there, and we'll see what happens.
00:44:38.540
Yeah, it'll be interesting, I tell you. These are very challenging days politically,
00:44:43.580
and I think our political system has failed us. We'll try and do our best journalistically,
00:44:48.620
and of course, we have our Civil Liberties Project, and I really appreciate your website,
00:44:51.860
SpencerFernando.com. Thanks for your time, Spencer. Look forward to talking again soon.
00:44:57.420
Right on. There you have it. Spencer Fernando of the self-titled SpencerFernando.com.
00:45:08.540
Hello, my friends. Thanks for watching. We've been talking so much about Canada's election,
00:45:19.940
which is appropriate. But as you know, we have a very active team down under, led by Avi Yamini,
00:45:26.400
and we have a new reporter in Sydney, Mario Malik, and we have another reporter based in Brisbane. So
00:45:31.700
we're growing down there. We have a writer down under named Alexandra, not to be confused with
00:45:36.440
Alexander Lavois up here in Canada. So we have a team down under, and they're just doing amazing
00:45:42.380
work. So instead of reading letters today, I want to leave you with Avi Yamini's latest report.
00:45:47.900
It's an incredible report, and I showed you a teaser of it the other day, filmed by Rakhshan down there.
00:45:53.720
Here's the trade unionists of Melbourne, construction workers, saying, we will not comply.
00:46:01.940
One of them says, I'm sorry I'm a year late. I apologize for not standing by others, but I am
00:46:08.740
now. It's a touching video. It's incredible. Let me leave you with this. Here's Avi Yamini down under.
00:46:14.520
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel News Network, good night, and keep fighting for
00:46:19.940
Now, one thing I've got to say is to the nation of Australia, as a union member, I'm so sorry that we
00:46:32.660
didn't stand up for all those shopkeepers and all those other people that have been trampled upon.
00:46:38.040
And I feel disgusted that we were allowed to work during that time. So I do apologize.
00:46:43.740
But let's stand up as a nation. This is bullshit what's going on, and don't be tricked by the
00:46:52.380
So John Sector promised he'll be out within an hour. They gave him an hour and a half,
00:46:57.280
and then the crowd, the members said that time is up, and tried to storm the building.
00:47:04.560
Time is up, man. We've waited long enough. We want to hear what the go is. We're sick and
00:47:17.320
I'm doing dealing with something else at the moment.
00:47:19.860
Okay, that's a bit weird. There's a protest there. A couple days ago, you guys smashed everyone
00:47:24.040
for it. But a few days ago, they didn't stand down like that. Why do you think that's the
00:47:27.920
case? Because they were happy to knock down 70-year-old women to the ground and spray them
00:47:33.860
That's exactly right. And that poor woman, I don't know how she is now, but these guys won't
00:47:37.860
take shit. We're construction workers. We're not protesters, construction workers. We ain't
00:47:42.400
taking that. We won't put up with that. That could
00:47:44.480
be our mother, our grandmother. All right? Simple. People are losing everything they own,
00:47:50.040
mate. Police taking a very different tactic than we've seen over the weekend. Different
00:47:54.800
enforcement. G'day. Is there a reason for that? That day, I saw them chase a dad with a little
00:48:01.980
girl on his shoulders down the street for Richmond. Today, they look like they're wearing a Western
00:48:06.660
democracy or something. By now, at any other protest, I would have been pepper sprayed. And today,
00:48:11.140
I don't reckon even if the cops come and pepper spray, I am a midget amongst men. So then
00:48:16.420
the pepper spray ain't getting passed. Have you got your authorized CFMU media pass?
00:48:24.280
You know that there's no 70-year-old grandmas, yeah? There's no 70-year-old. So you reckon
00:48:28.460
you're right? I think we're right, yeah. 99% angry young men. Isn't that what they wanted?
00:48:32.460
Angry young men? No ladies to push around here. Even old fellas.
00:48:35.780
We're going to have to blow your face. We need angry young men, that's all. I'm an angry
00:48:40.460
young man, all right. What made you guys today say enough is enough? We're going to hold them
00:48:45.520
to account. They're stopping us from getting the car into our job unless we've got the jab.
00:48:49.300
People who, unless you're from regional, you know, they can't travel to metro, they can't go,
00:48:55.300
you know, vice versa. Regardless of jab status. We need to be mandatory 100% vaccinated to work
00:49:00.980
as of next week. Do politicians need to be vaccinated to be in parliament?
00:49:05.840
For our first COVID scare, right, we kept the building sites going, right? There was like four
00:49:10.560
sites that shut down for three days. They cleaned their joint and they got everyone back to work.
00:49:16.260
Why can't they do that now? No vaccine then either.
00:49:19.420
We should have hit these streets well over a year ago, mate. We should have locked the
00:49:22.160
fucking city down and we should have been marching. This second cunt is a fucking rat.
00:49:26.040
He sold every one of us out. All the rights that all our older union members work for,
00:49:29.860
they've all been taken away. We're just fighting for the right thing. At the end of the day,
00:49:33.260
they're obviously in the wrong, hence why they won't show their face.
00:49:36.440
Look at that. The boys in blue are here to take care of business.
00:49:42.080
What do you reckon? They're going to take you on?
00:49:43.440
No, right. That's what it is. Let us work. We just want to work and feed our families.
00:49:50.280
We've worked our arses off to get where we are, built our careers up and all of a sudden
00:49:54.760
we're going to lose fucking everything. We're all feeling very disappointed because we feel
00:49:58.480
like we're being sold out by our union. We've fought for these rights for that many years
00:50:03.520
and what? Within a couple of weeks, it's just been stripped of us.
00:50:07.380
Can the state of Victoria, normal Victorians, not those in the unions, can they rely on
00:50:16.520
We still have hope if we all stand up together.
00:50:19.520
All right, ladies and gentlemen, I think he's made your point. Either we stay here or we
00:50:26.360
walk to parliament where the problem is. How about that?
00:50:28.540
The cops are blocked off the street. They're letting us alone. They're letting us talk to
00:50:39.600
our union. If we march the parliament, the cops will get involved. A hundred percent.
00:50:43.540
Lead the way! Lead the way! Lead the way! Lead the way! Lead the way! Lead the way!
00:50:51.540
What for? You've been there? All the protests? I've been there. They don't work. He's got
00:50:56.660
If this has been about the virus, why are all the government jobs being at a hundred percent
00:51:00.620
capacity every lockdown and every other job in Melbourne is 25 percent?
00:51:07.140
This is bullshit. This shouldn't be happening. This is wrong.
00:51:10.220
Something is happening in Victoria that we haven't seen from the beginning of this pandemic.
00:51:14.720
It's all about those getting paid off and done a backdoor deal with Dan Andrews.
00:51:19.160
How much do you achieve, right, when we strive to get better wages, better conditions?
00:51:23.160
We've been with that fucking amenity. What do you think about it?
00:51:25.160
We've got shit, shit, shit. We've been raising us now.
00:51:28.160
If we shut the industry down, I guarantee you more than half will be like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:51:32.160
and then come paid week, they're going to say, fuck, what have we done?
00:51:38.160
If you come here and you show we're separate, that's no good, bro.
00:51:45.160
Tell him to get on Facebook now and tell all the boys to get here and let's band together.
00:51:52.160
When you're getting paid well, it keeps you in check.
00:51:54.160
So whilst you're getting the bacon, you just sit and eat, sit fat and you're happy, happy days.
00:52:00.160
But now they're saying that it's coming to an end.
00:52:02.160
So now people are starting to wake up and see what's happening.
00:52:04.160
So what's just happened is one of the protesters' union members has made a deal with the union bosses that he can go in and speak and represent the crowd.
00:52:15.160
Tell him to walk with us to follow me now, shit.
00:52:25.160
When you get answers off the boys, he'll come and talk to us.
00:52:38.160
I'm trying to work out, but can you give me a minute?
00:52:41.160
I'll give you a minute, but I want to hear what the socialists, how the socialists feel about the people.
00:52:45.160
You want to talk to a socialist spokesperson or to me.
00:52:47.160
I want to hear what the socialist journalist thinks.
00:52:50.160
The working class in Victoria has officially turned on the Labor government.
00:54:28.160
They have now barricaded themselves in to protect themselves from the crowd.
00:54:33.160
The members that have said time is up while they've been standing outside.
00:54:38.160
That so-called leader has been on the radio calling them extremists,
00:54:42.160
which I believe is what was the catalyst for the violence just now.
00:55:17.160
They walked out swinging, waited for the police to rock up, and then that was it.
00:55:29.160
There's a full brawl going out here now between the union members and the union bosses.
00:55:37.160
When we started moving away, all the Vikings jumped out and started having a one-on-one.
00:55:51.160
Many of the members here say this is not how they wanted the day to end.
00:56:05.160
They were promised that the leader would come out and see them at, what was it, 3.30.
00:56:10.160
But at 4 o'clock, they said time is up and tried to storm it.
00:56:19.160
And through this whole day, police didn't engage the crowd, allowed them to do what they were doing.
00:56:23.160
It was obvious. It's still obvious. They don't want to engage them like they have with lockdown protesters that you've seen, where they tackle 70-year-old women.
00:56:35.160
These cops here, they should stay with the people. I've been in a line here. I've been. And I'm here. I've got a vaccination. I'm here for my kids. I'm not here for myself.
00:56:50.160
So, now, this is the working class. These are Labor voters. Now, not voting Daniel Andrews, are you?
00:56:59.160
Traditionally, you're all Labor voters. You voted for Daniel Andrews.
00:57:08.160
What are you telling me? The working class now has officially turned against the Labor Party?
00:57:13.160
Mate, I'm telling you right now, we've turned. You know why? Because they've turned their back on us.
00:57:17.160
You can see from all the people around here, not on the job. Give us five minutes, yeah, I'll be there.
00:57:23.160
We all pay thousands of dollars for him to stand up for our fucking rights. What's he done? Done a fucking bucklip on us. He's a fucking dog.
00:57:29.160
He's up there calling to 3AW while we're down there chanting. We're fucking calling him to come out and talk to us for hours.
00:57:33.160
And he's up there fucking talking to 3AW, calling us fucking extremists, rioters, not even part of the union.
00:57:40.160
The CFMU ticket, they're fucking burning it. Yeah, they send out, they want their thousand dollars again for the fucking 12 months, they can shove it up their ass.
00:57:46.160
I was asking the man two months, when they bring in the mandatory vaccinations, are you going to stand with the people?
00:57:52.160
He was like, I don't think that'll happen. Don't think that'll happen.
00:57:55.160
I said, I'm not asking you what you think. I'm asking when they bring in the mandatory vaccinations, what are you going to do about it?
00:58:00.160
I don't think that'll happen in my opinion. Here we are today. Enough said.
00:58:05.160
You guys should be ashamed of yourself. I love you.
00:58:10.160
I've got one serious question though. Which tradie are they going to get to fix their windows now?
00:58:16.160
Settle down. I'm just here on behalf of John Sector. They're looking for a tradie that's willing to fix the windows.
00:58:25.160
Rebel news for the working class. You can get one of these at rebelstore.com.
00:58:32.160
Have a look in the laneway, they're all lining up for attention.
00:58:40.160
So behind us you have the union reps. I've seen some of them arming themselves.
00:58:45.160
And you have the remainder of the union members that have come here. You can see them armed.
00:58:52.160
I think police are coming in to separate the crowds before this escalates.
00:59:11.160
See Avi, what happened, they were still on the other line.
00:59:34.160
You're fucking need to shoot in the wrong wife!
00:59:40.160
The force law they coming exclusively to rebelnews.com
01:00:17.860
What started off as a very peaceful protest between union members to their bosses ended
01:00:24.160
up in absolute mayhem with the bosses arming themselves and both sides being hit with pepper
01:00:35.800
The community is divided and the unions are no different.
01:00:40.280
What is happening in our community is dividing everyone, but I think this is a turning point
01:00:45.080
because until now police have not let any protests happen, but today police, they had to let
01:00:50.880
And that was the first day they promised to be back.
01:00:53.380
