Summary
Transgenderism is no longer a mental disorder in the DSM, and it s time to ask the question: What's next after that? Is there a new, normalized mental disorder on the horizon? And if so, what will it be?

Hello, my friends. I know you're still getting used to the idea of transgenderism,
00:00:04.760
but I got to tell you, there's a new thing out there. Oh, my God. Like, what's next, right?
00:00:10.180
What could possibly be next? Well, there's a new surgery out there. There's a new mental
00:00:15.400
disorder that's being normalized. It'll have all the details for you. And it is so nuts,
00:00:20.560
but really, you can see how inevitable it is. I won't give it away now. I want you to watch the

00:00:59.500
Tonight, what's the next thing after transgenderism? I've got the mind-boggling answer. It's April 5th,
00:01:26.860
Feels like we never heard about transgenderism until like five minutes ago. It was so rare.
00:01:33.540
I remember growing up, there were a couple of Hollywood movies about transvestites,
00:01:39.160
but they were just plot devices. The movie Tootsie. Dustin Hoffman couldn't get ahead
00:01:45.840
in showbiz as a man, so he became a sassy woman and had great success.
00:01:53.100
Mrs. Doubtfire, same thing. That was a Robin Williams role. A man wanted to spend time with his
00:01:59.180
kids after a bitter divorce. Again, a plot device and a comedy. The character wasn't actually trans.
00:02:05.660
I think the only glimpse of transgenderism that most people saw until about a decade ago was a
00:02:09.980
glimpse into some gay nightclubs. That's where Madonna got her inspiration for her music video,
00:02:16.400
Vogue, if you remember that song. The style of dancing was called Voguing, but it was an activity.
00:02:23.200
It was a fetish. It was a very adult, very separate scene, a million miles away from children and schools,
00:02:31.600
to state the obvious. And then suddenly it was here, and then suddenly it was everywhere.
00:02:37.600
It was a political decision, by the way. Here's a headline from 2012 when it happens.
00:02:43.040
Here's the NBC story. Being transgender no longer a mental disorder.
00:02:46.680
A-P-A. Transgender people will now be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, which means emotional stress
00:03:04.760
related to gender identity. The American Psychiatric Association has revised its
00:03:10.980
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and it no longer lists being transgender as a mental
00:03:18.020
disorder, among other changes announced this past weekend. Transgender people will now be diagnosed
00:03:24.020
with gender dysphoria, which means emotional stress related to gender identity. Gender identity disorder
00:03:30.260
had been listed as a mental disorder since the third edition of the DSM more than 20 years ago.
00:03:36.160
So it was a decision that was announced. There was no new research. It was a political decision.
00:03:43.520
A decision by whom? Well, it was a vote of a small group of trustees of that lobby group,
00:03:49.340
the American Psychiatric Association. Here's another report of it from a gay newspaper. They said,
00:03:56.940
the American Psychiatric Association has voted to eliminate the term gender identity disorder and
00:04:03.080
replace it with gender dysphoria when diagnosing people who are transgender. The board of trustees
00:04:08.460
of the APA meeting in Arlington, Virginia on Saturday approved the change as part of the soon-to-be
00:04:14.240
published fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM,
00:04:19.940
the definitive guide to psychiatry used by mental health professionals in the U.S. and worldwide.
00:04:25.440
So it was a vote. I didn't know you could just vote for something to become an illness or vote for
00:04:32.660
something to make it not an illness and who gets to vote and in what country and how many and like,
00:04:39.960
it's just, did you know that that's how it works? Who paid them and who lobbied them or anything?
00:04:46.220
It just was done and then it was just announced and now you're living in that world.
00:04:50.360
Hey, I saw this video for real this morning. This is a criminal lawyer named Stephanie Mueller
00:04:57.920
in Seattle. This is 100% real. I know the reporter who filmed it.
00:05:04.420
My comment about my client, I just met her. She's really nice. She's really smart. She sounds like
00:05:26.240
she's got the right idea about things. I really support what she's up to and I think it's fabulous.
00:05:31.160
How about that? God, do you, she's accused of, what is it, criminal trespass?
00:05:35.720
In the first degree, yes. Is she innocent or guilty?
00:05:39.580
She's innocent, of course. She's innocent, okay. Well, she's caught on video being arrested and
00:05:44.640
protesting and allegedly protesting. So I'm trying to get all sides. So I want to-
00:05:48.460
My client has pled not guilty. My name is Stephanie Mueller. I'm in the directory for
00:05:53.560
the Washington State Bar Association. You can look me up. Okay, Stephanie, thank you for your time.
00:05:57.960
At this point, your client is being arraigned though. It's all just happened. Her hearing is
00:06:03.980
over. Got it. It's done. All right. Do you know when her next court date is? I do. Do you,
00:06:09.660
I'd like to maybe just keep tabs if they're, uh-huh. I think that's a great idea. Could you tell me
00:06:15.340
when that is? No. Take care. Thank you, Stephanie. Yeah, can I say something obvious? That's not
00:06:21.800
actually a woman. That's a man. But here's something that I think is also obvious. That's
00:06:30.100
not a man even dressed up as a woman. That's not Tootsie or Mrs. Doubtfire. That's someone dressing
00:06:38.540
up as a bizarre caricature of a woman, an objectified, sexualized mockery of what a woman is.
00:06:48.120
No woman looks like that or would present like that even if they did have the underlying geometry
00:06:55.340
like that. It's like that teacher that David Menzies has reported on named Busty Lemieux.
00:07:02.440
That's the nickname with the extreme prosthetic breasts. That's not a woman. That's not someone
00:07:08.880
trying to look like a woman. That's not psychologically normal to do that. That's an extreme deranged
00:07:14.360
fetish of a man pretending to be a woman. That is a mental illness. I don't care what a vote in
00:07:19.760
Arlington, Virginia 12 years ago said. It's absurd. It's a dare. It's a challenge to all norms. It would
00:07:26.960
be like if a female to male transgender person dressed up with a crazy two-foot-long fake penis
00:07:33.580
under their pants or something and just trotted around a courthouse or a school and demanded that
00:07:38.080
you call her a man and that you pretend that's what men look like or what men do. Tootsie and
00:07:43.780
Mrs. Doubtfire didn't force you to call them women. They tried to be so much like women that you
00:07:48.580
couldn't tell the difference, that you actually thought they were women and treated them as such.
00:07:52.400
But this Stephanie Mueller and Busty Lemieux aren't trying to convince you. They're doing the opposite,
00:07:58.480
actually. They're trying to force you against your will and against your judgment, against your
00:08:03.080
instincts, to say, yes ma'am, you really are a woman. I accept that. I'll call you by your pronouns
00:08:10.560
she, her, and I'll pretend this is all really normal. I'll participate in your sexual fantasy by
00:08:16.980
affirming it. And then that's not enough, of course. They demand access to women's only places like
00:08:23.760
bathrooms and swimming pool changing rooms. We see a lot of that. Even men getting into women's
00:08:31.460
prisons by saying they're trans, even sex criminals saying they're women so they can get put into
00:08:36.960
prison with women. This is a million miles away from the obscure gay dance club scene of 30 years
00:08:43.480
ago that Madonna emulated in her music video Vogue. Just 12 years ago, a vote by some clinical doctors
00:08:51.460
at some meeting in Virginia suddenly waved a magic wand and all of this became normalized.
00:08:56.360
And now Justin Trudeau has ordered our army bases to put tampon dispensers in men's bathrooms at
00:09:04.880
Canadian Forces bases. And, and God forbid you say anything about any of this, you'll be prosecuted
00:09:11.100
by a human rights commission. So what's next? I mean, really, I've told you nothing new in the last
00:09:16.980
five minutes, but what's next? Cause something's next. Well, here's what's next. It's a story in
00:09:24.120
the national post. The headline is Quebec man has two healthy fingers amputated to relieve body
00:09:32.720
integrity dysphoria. Um, it's not the first time amputation has been used as a treatment for the
00:09:42.160
rare condition. Yeah. I don't think it's going to be rare for very long. Do you? Do you see though,
00:09:48.520
they called, they called that a treatment. They said cutting off perfectly healthy fingers is a
00:09:53.880
treatment. Well, why wouldn't it be cutting off? I I'm so, so gross. I don't even like to say cutting
00:09:59.140
off the breasts of women to, to transition to become trans men or cutting off a man's penis to
00:10:06.040
transition and be a trans woman. That's insane also. And now it's called a treatment, a gender
00:10:13.820
affirming medical care is what they call it. This guy just had his two fingers cut off as a
00:10:19.360
affirming care as a treatment. I read the whole article. I don't want to read that much of it to
00:10:24.420
you. I will gag if I, if I do, I'm sorry. I don't have the stomach for this. The story talks about a man
00:10:30.760
who had this mental illness and the story reports, quote, a surgeon at his local hospital agreed to
00:10:39.580
an elective amputation. Those are two words that should never go together. An elective amputation
00:10:46.440
in what is being called the first described case of digits amputation for body integrity dysphoria or
00:10:54.440
BID, a rare and complex condition characterized by an intense desire to amputate a perfectly healthy
00:11:00.260
body part, such as an arm or leg. You know that, that medical proverb, the motto of the profession
00:11:06.960
is do no harm, right? Do no harm. But once you, once you have agreed to cut off body parts
00:11:14.960
for sexual dysphoria, why wouldn't you cut off fingers?
00:11:20.440
Is body integrity dysphoria still a mental illness or did, or did an obscure committee of the
00:11:26.780
American Psychiatric Association have a vote one weekend and vote to make it a lifestyle
00:11:32.040
or an identity protected by the Human Rights Commission, no doubt? And maybe your schools
00:11:39.040
will start showing your kids books about choosing their bodies and not feeling like they're in the
00:11:46.540
right bodies because they're not meant to have 10 fingers. Are your fingers bothering you?
00:11:53.660
Well, we can do something about that. Just don't tell your parents. I know that sounds nuts.
00:12:01.660
But isn't that what we're doing right now about gender dysphoria? Stay with us for more.
00:12:08.720
One of the things that always bothered me about both the way Justin Trudeau talked about the
00:12:24.540
trucker convoy and the way the regime media did is they called it an illegal occupation or an illegal
00:12:31.140
protest. They used the word illegal to describe the entire manifestation of people, but that's
00:12:37.580
actually not true. There's no such thing as deeming a protest illegal. I suppose you could read the
00:12:43.860
riot act and say anyone in this area is guilty if they don't immediately disperse of a crime. I mean,
00:12:51.760
I suppose that's one way to deem a protest illegal, but that didn't happen. The emergencies act,
00:12:58.160
when it was invoked, specifically excluded peaceful protests. In fact, that was an essential part of both
00:13:06.480
the emergencies act and its invocation. So whenever people said the truckers were illegal, that was a
00:13:13.780
lie. In the case of the media, they might just simply not have known and they went along with the
00:13:19.220
flow. But when the government did it, they absolutely knew what they were saying was false.
00:13:24.280
And the reason I say that is that police, especially the interim police chief in the city of Ottawa,
00:13:31.060
he tried to terrify ordinary Canadians into not donating towards the truckers. You may recall,
00:13:38.700
there was a large Give, Send, Go donation crowdfund. $10 million was raised. Under political pressure,
00:13:46.240
they froze those funds. They briefly threatened to donate it to causes of their own choosing
00:13:52.040
before they finally refunded them. Then Give, Send, Go, a U.S.-based, Christian-based fundraising
00:14:00.420
engine raised $12 million. And that was hit with an order as well by Ontario courts.
00:14:08.760
And the trouble is the list of names on the Give, Send, Go donation was hacked and leaked a criminal act.
00:14:17.120
In fact, there was a hacker who boasted about it online with some proof. Take a look at this.
00:14:29.760
Yes, I doxed the truckers. I did it. It was me. I hacked Give, Send, Go, baby. And I'd do it again.
00:14:37.180
I'm doing it a hundred times. I did it. I did it. Come at me. What are you going to do?
00:14:52.900
I hacked Epic Hosting. I hacked Parler. I hacked Gab. I hacked Truth Social. I hacked Go, Give, Send, Go.
00:15:12.360
I'm, you can literally put my name into the news tab on Google and you can find everything I've done.
00:15:26.740
I am literally in every mainstream media publication for the things that I do.
00:15:32.300
I'm not an unknown actor. I'm literally a famous fucking cyber terrorist.
00:15:44.900
Well, there's no way that hacker would be able to boast about a hack and claim he had the approval of police and simply not be arrested if it weren't true.
00:15:55.740
And it dovetails with the threats by Ottawa's police chief at the time to hunt down anyone who dared to give money to the truckers.
00:16:04.840
Here's that odious, odious clip of a disgraceful cop. Take a look at this.
00:16:10.180
As I indicated earlier, we will have the opportunity to review all of those files.
00:16:14.080
There are complaint mechanisms for people to enter into if they feel that there is excessive use of force by members of our police service.
00:16:22.880
What I will also say is we have been here for three weeks.
00:16:27.920
I have been at this podium for the last five days imploring people to leave, asking them to get out of our streets.
00:16:35.460
This occupation is over. We have advised them that if they peacefully leave, they may go home. That still exists.
00:16:43.420
We also indicated that we would escalate and forcefully remove people from the streets if they did not comply.
00:16:52.180
So I will stand here today again and say this demonstration is over. Go home.
00:16:57.640
If you don't go home, we will remove you from the streets.
00:17:00.260
Well, wouldn't you know it, in the hacked list of thousands of donors was one police officer himself, Constable Michael Briscoe of Windsor.
00:17:12.700
He donated 50 bucks to the peaceful protest, a legal protest.
00:17:27.240
And we're here to talk to his lawyer who's fighting for him.
00:17:31.020
James Manson of the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms joins us now via Skype.
00:17:35.640
James, great to see you. Thanks for joining us.
00:17:38.040
Did I accurately tell the story of Constable Briscoe?
00:17:42.780
He's just an ordinary guy, donated 50 bucks on one of these completely legal crowd funds to a completely legal protest.
00:17:51.100
And yet for two years now, he's been prosecuted by his own police force.
00:17:59.040
Thanks again for having me on the show here today.
00:18:02.640
Michael Briscoe is one of several police officers who were, I guess, targeted because they gave money to the, you know, the Freedom Convoy protests.
00:18:15.940
And so what we have, what basically happened was, as you said a few minutes ago, Ezra, somebody hacked into the Give, Send, Go database illegally, of course, and they found this donor information and they put it on the Internet somewhere.
00:18:33.260
What happened apparently was the OPP, the Ontario Provincial Police, somehow got themselves this information.
00:18:43.960
And what happened apparently was they began to contact police forces around the province, among them the Windsor Police Service.
00:18:51.680
That's where Michael Briscoe was a police officer, still is a police officer.
00:18:55.500
And they said to, you know, police organizations like Windsor Police, they said, hey, we have this name here and it looks like there's a Michael Briscoe that's on your police force, so maybe you might want to investigate this.
00:19:09.740
And so what happens, just so that the viewers understand here, is that, number one, Ezra, it is, as you say, totally legal and proper for a police officer to donate to a political cause.
00:19:25.360
Now, Constable Briscoe, in this case, was on leave.
00:19:32.420
He didn't want to take the COVID vaccine, and so they put him on unpaid leave.
00:19:35.940
And while he was on unpaid leave, of course, the convoy came to Ottawa, and he was very interested.
00:19:48.540
And so he gave that through the online web portal, whatever you do.
00:19:55.840
Sorry, this is the regulations under the Police Services Act.
00:19:59.640
This is the law that governs what police do in Ontario.
00:20:03.620
So anyways, the regulations say that you can donate as a police officer, as long as you don't donate it as the officer.
00:20:12.860
So it can be Michael Briscoe, but not Officer Michael Briscoe.
00:20:30.620
He didn't claim this was a police activity on his part.
00:20:35.420
So they charged him, I understand, with discreditable conduct.
00:20:40.900
So what happened then was the OPP got this information.
00:20:45.200
They funneled it somehow to the Windsor Police Service.
00:20:47.960
Then it gets transferred to an investigating officer.
00:20:51.760
In this case, her name was Sergeant Leah McFadden.
00:20:53.860
Sergeant McFadden, Sergeant McFadden, then goes into an investigation phase.
00:20:58.420
And what she does is she downloads and she looks at 20 or so newspaper articles.
00:21:05.780
And these newspaper articles are the ones that we all remember from back in the day when Chief of Police slowly in Ottawa and, you know, Premier Ford, Prime Minister Trudeau, all these official people were calling the protests illegal.
00:21:25.500
Other people referred to it as lawless behavior, things like that.
00:21:30.600
So, Ezra, I totally agree with you on what you said a few minutes ago.
00:21:36.720
You can't just deem something to be illegal in this province if you're a public official.
00:21:45.600
Maybe a judge could do it by making an order if somebody actually asks the judge to do so.
00:21:51.860
Perhaps Parliament itself could declare something illegal by law.
00:21:56.120
Otherwise, you're talking about maybe the Riot Act, as you said, as well.
00:22:02.760
So, there was no declaration of illegal activity.
00:22:06.220
There still hasn't been at all in this province.
00:22:09.720
So, anyway, she, Sergeant McFadden, she reads these articles and she says, well, good enough for me.
00:22:17.260
Everybody is claiming that this is an illegal protest.
00:22:21.360
Therefore, Michael Briscoe arguably donated money to an illegal activity, period.
00:22:30.080
And so then, what she was allowed to do, Ezra, is she was allowed to drag Constable Briscoe into an interview on the record.
00:22:40.620
And he did not have the ability to refuse questions.
00:22:43.740
You have to answer the questions when you're in an interview for disciplinary purposes.
00:22:48.100
The reason that you don't have the right to remain silent, as you do in a criminal context, is because this wasn't a criminal issue.
00:22:57.720
He was being charged with, you know, discreditable conduct under the Code of Conduct for police officers.
00:23:04.400
That's just a disciplinary hearing that could maybe, you know, cost you your job or something, but it's not going to land you in jail.
00:23:11.120
So, there is no right to remain silent, if you will.
00:23:16.580
The only reason she knew about all this is because she downloaded, because the OPP, pardon me, downloaded the illegally hacked information.
00:23:29.920
I think whoever downloaded it in the OPP should face discredible conduct.
00:23:33.940
And maybe Officer McFadden, her conduct was discredible for using stolen private information.
00:23:39.880
I'd like to file a complaint against Officer McFadden.
00:23:42.080
Well, one of the things that we tried to do, and we're still trying to do, in the course of our legal representation of Constable Briscoe,
00:23:56.000
And so, it's a complicated subject, and there's a lot of details, but basically, there is a way in the law to get these types of things thrown out.
00:24:07.240
If you can show that the justice system is thrown into disrepute, if it's allowed to go forward.
00:24:14.880
And one of the arguments I'm trying to make, and now we're actually taking this case into the court system.
00:24:20.860
So, just so that the viewers understand, we haven't been in court about this yet.
00:24:25.860
This entire investigation culminated in a hearing before a retired superintendent of the police board himself, or the police force himself.
00:24:36.020
And he, that person doesn't have to be a trained lawyer.
00:24:39.580
So, you know, they're used to the process, but they're not necessarily trained in the vagaries of evidence and all these things.
00:24:47.380
And just so that the viewers understand, relying on newspaper articles is not admissible normally in court.
00:24:59.240
And usually, you can't base a conclusion on hearsay evidence.
00:25:07.900
The rules are a bit relaxed, and that's why we are where we are.
00:25:11.520
But anyways, ultimately, we were arguing all of these things as appeal counsel.
00:25:20.440
So, what happened was, Sergeant, sorry, the Constable Briscoe's hearing was before this hearing officer.
00:25:30.080
Did he have lawyers at the time, or did he go on his own?
00:25:35.460
For reasons I'm not sure, the lawyer did not raise any of this stuff.
00:25:40.080
He didn't really raise the abusive process argument.
00:25:42.880
He didn't complain about the way that this evidence came into the hands of the police.
00:25:49.260
Maybe had we been involved, it might have been different.
00:25:51.680
But anyways, just so the viewers understand, when you're taking a case to the appeal,
00:25:56.440
so what happened next was we got involved, and there's an appeal process from the hearing officer's ruling.
00:26:02.920
What happened was the hearing officer found him to have committed discreditable conduct.
00:26:07.980
He basically went hook, line, and sinker with respect to the illegal activity.
00:26:13.260
Didn't really care about the hearsay nature of the newspaper articles.
00:26:18.220
Didn't care about the fact that nobody in those articles has the authority to declare anything illegal anyway.
00:26:26.900
According to the CBC, it was illegal, and that's good enough for the Windsor police, I guess.
00:26:31.480
Right. So ultimately, he just basically convicted Constable Briscoe of discreditable conduct
00:26:40.340
and ordered him to pay basically 80 hours of salary.
00:26:44.780
He had to forfeit two weeks' pay, essentially, for making a $50 donation, which he had every right to do.
00:26:51.940
So we took it to an appeal, and one of the appeal arguments was, hey, this entire thing smells.
00:27:01.640
It should never have come to light at all because nobody investigated, you know, where the illegally hacked information came from.
00:27:11.480
Why are we relying on nothing but hearsay evidence?
00:27:16.700
The appeal committee, it's a body called the Ontario Civilian Police Commission.
00:27:24.940
They were not very interested in the arguments either.
00:27:27.960
We had some other arguments as well, including whether or not people were considering Constable Briscoe's charter rights appropriately,
00:27:38.760
because in a case like this, you have to do that.
00:27:40.760
Essentially, none of my points were really accepted by the commission at the final analysis.
00:27:49.960
And so what we've done, Ezra, is we've now launched into the court process.
00:27:54.440
And so there is a way to take the appeal decision from this commission into court.
00:27:59.940
There is a court called the Divisional Court in Ontario.
00:28:05.300
They, you know, different judges sit as panels of three judges.
00:28:10.440
And we're going to be putting it before the Divisional Court.
00:28:14.120
We're going to be saying again that this was an outrageous abusive process,
00:28:19.380
that Constable Briscoe should never have even been called into that interview,
00:28:23.420
because that evidence that was setting it all up was wrong.
00:28:35.680
There's the hearsay and there's the general BS that this was illegal because the CBC said so.
00:28:45.780
He sounds like my kind of guy if he was a conscientious objector on the forced vax
00:28:51.220
and then chipping in 50 bucks to the truckers seems like a good egg,
00:28:57.260
But, I mean, I'd like him to be saved from the 80 hours fine.
00:29:05.020
But this is really about the reputation of the police.
00:29:08.040
I think that in the last five years, the police have murdered their own reputations.
00:29:17.080
We're seeing now in the foreign influence investigations that police and other security services like CSIS
00:29:28.200
I think if the police want the trust of Canadians across the spectrum,
00:29:34.140
left wing, right wing, liberal, conservative, whatever, they have to be nonpartisan.
00:29:38.260
And this is clearly a political vendetta against someone who embarrassed the government.
00:29:45.380
You know, yes, I want Constable Briscoe to be made whole here and to be redeemed and vindicated.
00:29:50.420
But much more than that, I want the Windsor Police and the OPP, the Ontario Provincial Police,
00:29:55.240
to remove the stain of partisanship and abuse from them.
00:30:01.240
And let's just have a thought for a moment about the rank-and-file members of these police forces
00:30:08.280
You can't tell me that they agree with what's going on.
00:30:11.420
You can't tell me that even a small percentage of them do.
00:30:16.840
But I would bet you the vast majority just want to do their jobs, protect their communities,
00:30:21.060
protect the citizens, do the jobs that they were, you know, signed up to do.
00:30:26.520
I mean, maybe some of them want to run these investigations against people for these political
00:30:31.540
purposes, as you're alleging, which may in fact be true.
00:30:34.340
But I bet you the vast majority just want to do their jobs without any of this nonsense.
00:30:39.800
And I certainly, as a citizen, want to have a police force that is nonpartisan, that is
00:30:44.940
going to be there to have my back when I need something to happen, and otherwise butt out.
00:30:52.140
You know, I think that's pretty reasonable to expect a police force.
00:30:57.360
You know, so many institutions drove their best people out.
00:31:01.260
I mean, again, I've never met this cop, but he's 15 years on the force, so he's got some
00:31:12.860
That's why he was an objector to the force vaccine.
00:31:17.500
You're punishing guys like this, and you're promoting the woke political police.
00:31:21.820
That's a reason why institutions, first of all, have trouble recruiting new members, and
00:31:27.900
second of all, have trouble maintaining the support of the public.
00:31:31.380
The common sense rules of modern policing that Sir Robert Peel rolled out over a century
00:31:43.340
Only in a totalitarian regime can you police against the will of the people.
00:31:49.340
In democracies like Canada, the police must do the will of the people for them to succeed,
00:31:59.600
When do we expect the next hearing to be here, either of the appeal for your conviction or
00:32:06.100
for your proactive lawsuit on abusive process, have either of those, the wheels of justice,
00:32:16.060
So the appeal process before that commission is over, it's finished.
00:32:20.060
Now, the actual mechanism is called a judicial review.
00:32:34.840
And what now needs to happen is the people on the other side, so the police force and
00:32:42.440
the actual commission itself is actually a party in the case.
00:32:46.780
So they need to get their wheels turning, and they have to put together the record of
00:32:52.100
all the evidence that was put before the commission and the hearing officer.
00:33:00.680
It looks like we're aiming for a hearing somewhere probably closer to the end of this year.
00:33:08.840
Well, keep us posted on that, because if it's an open proceeding, if it's like in a courtroom,
00:33:14.120
I think we'll definitely want to send a reporter there.
00:33:16.820
This is of interest to our people, not just because we covered the trucker convoy so carefully
00:33:22.460
when it happened, but because of the issues we've been talking about.
00:33:25.520
Well, listen, I wish you well, and I salute the JCCF.
00:33:29.960
That's the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom.
00:33:32.360
By the way, I don't think I've mentioned it to our viewers yet.
00:33:35.900
I've actually been nominated for the—they have an annual award, so I'm delighted I should
00:33:43.260
disclose that, because, I mean, I've always been a fan of the JCCF, and we've done journalism
00:33:47.540
about them for 10 years, but it's a special honour that they gave me a shout-out this year,
00:33:56.160
Ezra, just to interject, we are very proud to honour you this year.
00:34:00.200
I'll be seeing you at the George Jonas dinner in June here in Toronto, and we're also extremely
00:34:07.240
grateful for all the contributions you make to freedom and to, you know, shining lights
00:34:13.340
Well, you're very nice to say it in so many ways.
00:34:19.260
You guys were the first, you're the biggest, and you make the most difference, so thank
00:34:26.500
Thank you for the update, and please do keep us in touch, because if this moves forward through
00:34:31.140
the court system, we want to do some journalism on it.
00:34:37.260
There you have it, James Manson from the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom.
00:34:54.080
Your letters to me about my chat with Sheila Gunn-Reed yesterday.
00:34:58.020
Chris Proudlove says, how about we not let anyone not born in Canada serve in public office?
00:35:04.440
I think that's too extreme, but the United States has a rule, as you may know, that you
00:35:14.060
I think, you know, in Canada, Sir John A. Macdonald, for example, our first prime minister,
00:35:20.260
was born in Scotland, and in fact, several other of our prime ministers were born in the
00:35:26.120
I think that the problem here is Justin Trudeau sold out his loyalty to Canada, literally for
00:35:37.560
That astonishing story of a busload of high school kids who weren't Canadians coming in
00:35:43.220
from another district to vote for him in a liberal nomination is so astonishing.
00:35:47.220
You know, the fact that Handong, an ethnically Chinese Canadian, was the beneficiary of that,
00:35:57.460
I mean, Justin Trudeau was born in Canada, but he was, in fact, the largest beneficiary
00:36:04.380
So yeah, they got this conservative candidate knocked out, and they got that liberal candidate
00:36:09.840
put in, but the net effect was to benefit a born-in-Canada white man named Justin Trudeau,
00:36:16.280
which is why he turned a blind eye to it, which is why he turns a blind eye to Iran's
00:36:21.500
mucking about on the Hamas stuff, because he wants the Muslim vote, and he thinks that
00:36:27.040
there are enough Muslim radicals in Canada to offset the Jewish vote he's losing.
00:36:35.820
Why wasn't this dealt with in 2020 when it was common knowledge?
00:36:39.420
Driving through the rearview mirror is pointless.
00:36:44.700
We're learning a lot about warnings that were given, and the warnings were given to the liberals,
00:36:50.460
and the liberals refused to publish or do anything about it until after the election.
00:36:54.660
We're actually learning about the kind of corruption that is only alleged, but now it's being proved.
00:37:02.260
Yes, we should have acted earlier, but I don't think we had the kind of evidence now of the absolute trickery
00:37:10.200
that CSIS and the RCMP and the rest of the alphabet soup agencies engaged in at the direction of Trudeau,
00:37:19.400
When Jody Wilson-Raybould was the Justice Minister, you can disagree with her ideology on a number of things,
00:37:24.100
and I do, for example, but I think she was ethical enough that she would have made better decisions,
00:37:34.540
I don't think she would have gone ahead with that.
00:37:36.800
I use her as an example because Justin Trudeau replaced her with David Lamedi,
00:37:41.580
who would do anything for Trudeau, including break the law.
00:37:44.620
Justin Trudeau has installed within the government, in the RCMP, in CSIS, in Cabinet,
00:37:50.420
throughout the government, installed people who were loyal to him, not loyal to their office or to the people.
00:37:59.100
That's, I think, one of the reasons why Trudeau himself has never been charged with various offenses
00:38:05.020
I think the RCMP, in particular, has disgraced themselves.
00:38:11.960
Remember, a lot of this stuff we're only reading about because it was leaked by some spy
00:38:18.380
who said, we've got to tell the world about this because Trudeau's covering it up.
00:38:23.020
I think it's incredible, and I'm glad Sheila's covering it closely,
00:38:25.680
and you should follow her reports on our website.
00:38:30.380
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
