Hello, my Rebels. Great talk today with our friend Manny Montenegro. Always food for thought.
00:00:05.480
Hey, I'm going to show you a couple of videos in this, about three big videos,
00:00:11.080
and Manny and I are going to chat about it. I want you to see those videos, and to do so,
00:00:16.440
you've got to get what we call Rebel News Plus. It's the video version of this podcast. Please
00:00:20.400
go to rebelnewsplus.com, click subscribe. It's eight bucks a month, which is quite modest,
00:00:25.980
I think. You get my show every day. Sheila Gunn-Reed does a weekly show, and that eight bucks a month
00:00:31.580
really adds up for us. It's how we pay our bills, because we don't take any money from the government,
00:00:35.900
unlike most media, and we're demonetized by YouTube, so it's really this. Just go to
00:00:41.380
rebelnewsplus.com. All right, here's today's show.
00:00:55.980
Tonight, why is Trudeau destroying so many Canadian icons, including in our passport? We'll talk about
00:01:05.780
that and other issues with our friend Manny Montenegro in a feature-length interview. It's
00:01:12.940
You're fighting for freedom! Shame on you, you censorious bug!
00:01:25.980
By some measures, Canada is doing worse than ever. I'm genuinely concerned about the state of civil
00:01:33.800
liberties in this country. Our economy, government spending is out of control. I think there are a
00:01:39.920
lot of things that are terrifying, but underneath it all, I think there's hope. I say that because
00:01:45.740
the remedies that we typically reach for in this country are elections, and it looks like Pierre
00:01:52.260
Polyev, despite the hatred for him of the raging media, is taking hold. And as Canadians get to know
00:02:00.780
him more and more, they seem to like him, or at least, if not like him personally, think he would
00:02:07.180
do a better job than Trudeau. It's very interesting to see Pierre Polyev, who I've known actually since
00:02:13.520
he was in his 20s, to see him straddle being a good communicator and sort of folksy, but also a bit
00:02:22.880
of an intellectual. And with your permission, I'd like to start with a video that's a few minutes long,
00:02:28.320
but I want you to bear with me and go through it. It's a video of Pierre Polyev talking about some issues
00:02:35.040
I want to dig into today, talking about replacing Canadian icons and images, replacing historical
00:02:44.960
people in Canada with nothing, with voids. And this is a video that Pierre Polyev did straight to camera.
00:02:54.240
I would call this an intellectual video. We're going to come right back after this video. We're going to
00:03:00.400
tuck into it with our dear friend, Manny Montenegrino, who's with us for the entire show today.
00:03:08.080
We're going to talk about this video, what it means about passports and symbols and Terry Fox.
00:03:13.440
Then we're going to talk about bail reform in this country. We're going to talk about
00:03:19.360
a surprising piece of news, Trudeau ordering 90 million more COVID doses, and other subjects,
00:03:27.920
and we'll deal with them in a way that only Manny Montenegrino does. So watch this video with Pierre
00:03:33.680
Polyev. Stay with us and come back and we'll tuck into it. Here, take a look.
00:03:38.320
Your passport. Why is Trudeau redone it to delete Terry Fox, who ran halfway across the country on one
00:03:46.080
leg to fight cancer? Why did he delete the Vimy Memorial, which honors 3,598 soldiers who died?
00:03:54.080
Why did he delete this beautiful war memorial or even the parliament buildings beyond it? Well,
00:03:59.840
to answer that question, you need to get the country that Trudeau wants us to become.
00:04:05.120
The level of admiration I actually have for China, because their basic dictatorship,
00:04:14.800
admiration I actually have for China, because their basic dictatorship.
00:04:22.720
Or when he said, El Comandante Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for
00:04:29.760
almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator. Like the leaders and regimes that Trudeau
00:04:36.640
so admires, he's censoring what you can see and say, including his online censorship bill,
00:04:43.120
a bill so controversial that even legendary liberal author Margaret Atwood had this warning.
00:04:51.840
So it is creeping totalitarianism if governments are telling creators what to create. But here's the
00:04:58.000
problem for leaders that want to control everything. The only way to justify it is by promising a utopia.
00:05:03.760
Now, utopia is a beautiful word, but in Greek it actually means no place. You cannot promise to take
00:05:11.280
people to no place unless you start in no place. Put more simply, the only way you can redraw an entire
00:05:20.640
country is to wipe away the existing painting so that you can draw on a blank slate. Or as Orwell said,
00:05:28.800
the past was dead. The future was unimaginable. All that was needed was an unending series of victories
00:05:37.120
over your own memory. Reality control. So they knock down statues of our past leaders. They delete words.
00:05:45.200
They delete achievements. They even delete our most wonderful and treasured heroes. Even Nellie McClung,
00:05:52.480
who along with the rest of the famous five, proved women were persons, got erased from Trudeau's passport.
00:05:58.880
This by a so-called feminist prime minister. Our soldiers, our Mounties, our explorers, our champions,
00:06:06.400
all had to disappear. Why? Because they show that Canada is amazing above and beyond its government.
00:06:13.120
If Canada is already amazing, how could you justify having the state bend and twist it into something
00:06:19.280
completely different, as he tries to do every single day? We can have no heroes. And our history must be
00:06:26.240
portrayed as a wretched pile of injustices to justify remaking everything from scratch. Instead, our national
00:06:33.680
story in this passport looks now more like Justin Trudeau's personal colouring book, filled with trivial little
00:06:41.760
things like Canadians raking leaves or a squirrel eating a nut. The country must be made little so
00:06:50.000
that his state can be made big. There can be no heroes from the past that get in the way of the man
00:06:57.040
who appoints himself the hero of the future. The regimes that Trude admires portray the dear leader
00:07:04.240
as the only hero that could ever be. But you and I both know that the real heroes are not on state
00:07:10.560
billboards or state television. They're the common people. The folks who over centuries had to wrestle
00:07:16.720
control over their lives from the crown and put it in the hands of commoners. Our democratic tradition
00:07:22.480
goes back 800 years to the Magna Carta when the common people forced King John to sign the great
00:07:28.000
charter that brought in liberty under the law. And over those 800 years, through fits and starts and many
00:07:34.640
flaws, we've evolved closer and closer to a more democratic place where the people are in charge.
00:07:41.760
That is a precious inheritance. It may be 800 years long, but it's only one generation deep.
00:07:49.840
If this generation, the living generation fails to pass on what we inherited from those who came before
00:07:57.040
to those that come after, then it could be lost forever. That's why it's so important to keep our common
00:08:02.160
stories, our common symbols, and most importantly, our common sense. A passport is known for taking us
00:08:11.040
abroad. But sometimes the most important thing, especially when it comes to our traditions and
00:08:16.800
freedom, is to bring it home. Well, joining us now to talk about that and many other things is our friend
00:08:21.840
Manny Montmagrino. Manny, I was moved by that. I was impressed, I was educated, I was inspired, and I'm a bit of a
00:08:31.600
cynic. Tell me your thoughts on that. First of all, great to see you.
00:08:35.280
Yeah, great. Nice being here, Ezra. I was immensely moved. You know, speaking to the intellect of
00:08:42.000
Canadians is a very rare task for politicians, and Pierre did a wonderful job. He is absolutely correct
00:08:51.120
as to what's happening. And let me add some context to it. And as you know, Ezra, you know,
00:08:56.400
I look for a pattern, I look for a historical pattern, and then I come to a conclusion as to
00:09:01.360
what is really happening. Pierre is correct about the passports. All great Canadian human beings have
00:09:09.520
been removed from the passport. And there were many, and the list was there. And, but this is just one of
00:09:17.360
what's happened. There is a pattern going on. And the pattern is not, not a shock. It's what to be,
00:09:25.280
is what to be expected from Justin Trudeau. He is a one world socialist type of person. And the only way
00:09:33.920
you can get to that is you have to remove the history of Canada. Now, what has happened in a short
00:09:43.120
eight years with Trudeau? Canada is the only country that self-declared itself as genocidal.
00:09:52.080
We're a genocidal country for taking Indigenous kids and bringing them to colonial schools. That is,
00:10:03.600
that is insane to say the word genocide. There's true genocide that's happened in the world,
00:10:08.800
but the label sticks and it's there. We have removed great historical names from
00:10:17.040
statutes, everything else. It's all a pattern. And Ezra, the pattern is quite simple. And that is,
00:10:25.680
if you remove great Canadians that have done great things and diminish Canada's past and scrub Canada's
00:10:33.840
past, then the only thing that remains is the state. And the state is a way forward. We will not
00:10:40.640
be, Trudeau's intention is not to remove Kerry Fox for a new person. And that is the slight
00:10:49.840
distinction I would make from what Pierre Polivar said. It isn't, it is a scrubbing and it's a scrubbing
00:10:57.520
to keep clean. So only the state leads, only the government leads. So there will be no future
00:11:04.240
leaders that we will, you know, build statutes for, whoever they may be. There'll be no further
00:11:10.400
leaders like Kerry Fox that we will come to adore here in Ottawa, his statutes. It's the removal of
00:11:17.120
the individual. And if you remove the individual, the state becomes supreme. Now, that's the goal. The goal
00:11:25.600
is Canada should be relying, or Canadians should never look to themselves. Canadians should never
00:11:32.160
look to its greatness of its people, just the state and the state's direction. And let me, I'm going to
00:11:39.120
quiz you, Ezra. Name me one great Cuban that is not a politician or a Castro. We can't think of one.
00:11:49.680
Yeah. Name me one. Yeah. You know, name me one great Chinese individual that did X. It's not,
00:11:56.880
it's a state. Yeah. Well, in China, Mao had a saying, the four olds. Right. Traditions,
00:12:03.360
old beliefs, old customs. Right. I can't remember the fourth one. And he said they had to eradicate the
00:12:09.200
four olds. Right. Which is a way of saying everything that the generations before us learned at great cost,
00:12:15.920
and over great time and wanted to give to us as the current generation, here's the collective
00:12:23.040
wisdom of all of our troubles. Here's centuries, maybe thousands of years, maybe even more than that,
00:12:30.000
tacit knowledge about what it means to be a person. Right. Mao wanted to year zero. I mean.
00:12:37.040
But not replace it, but not replace it with new. It's replacing the person, the individual. If there
00:12:46.080
is no individual, then the only thing that occupies the vacuum is the state. I mean,
00:12:52.320
the greatest example is North Korea. There are mainly one great North Korean historian. There isn't. You
00:13:00.160
remove all people, all history. I mean, North Korea has a long history. Remove it all. And this
00:13:07.440
focus on not an individual achievement, but the state's achievement, the achievement by one family,
00:13:16.000
the politicians. And that's all you have. And you can't look anywhere else. You can't look to your
00:13:20.960
neighbor, a great Terry Fox that motivated millions of Canadians. You can't look to Anneli McCann. You can't
00:13:27.760
look to these individuals that brought forth this great country. Vimy Ridge, the young man who died
00:13:34.400
to make Canada, you know, propelled Canada into a great nation. You can't look to them. They're not
00:13:41.440
the guys that you should be looking to. Only look to me, Justin Trudeau and the socialist state. We will
00:13:48.560
solve all your problems. We have your backs. It's obvious. It's simple. You know, that's that's
00:13:56.000
if you if you remember the core of the book 1984 by George Orwell, Winston Smith, the hero of the book,
00:14:03.680
his job was to work in the Ministry of Truth, which Trudeau wants to set up with his various
00:14:08.720
censorship regulations. And his job, it's sort of crazy when you think about it, was to take old
00:14:14.480
newspapers, cut out stories that are now inconvenient, and replace them with new versions of the history
00:14:21.200
history. So that what was the history? Well, it's whatever we say today it was. Were we at war with
00:14:27.760
Eurasia or East Asia? Well, we've always been at war with Oceania or whatever. I mean, and it was insane
00:14:34.800
when it was done that way, cutting and pasting. But that really is what Trudeau is doing. He's cutting out
00:14:40.640
Terry Fox and Vimy Ridge from history and replacing it with, you know, and you can't teach those things.
00:14:46.480
Take down the statues of Johnny McDonald. Well, with the yeah, with the internet, it's just it
00:14:50.720
happens immediately. I'll give you my first example. When the pandemic began, and we did not have
00:14:58.880
masks. And you remember, March, masks were not implemented till I think July. So for the first
00:15:06.640
wave of the pandemic, not one of these great experts said, you should have masks of Fauci,
00:15:14.320
TAM. Not one expert said we should be masked. They told us not to. They positively said,
00:15:20.560
do not have masks. Now, here is an interesting fact. I'm a research hound. I went to Canada website,
00:15:28.560
and there was a publication because I'm going to shock people. This isn't the first virus that we
00:15:35.360
have studied. This is actually the second coronavirus. It's COVID-2. And it's one of the
00:15:42.020
one of the dozens of viruses. And so Canadian health experts have studied. There was a study
00:15:48.340
prepared and and published in the Health Canada site saying that we studied H1N1. We studied SARS.
00:15:56.740
Masks do not work. And I had that study on that site and I had access to it. By June, July, when they
00:16:04.500
implemented the masks, that study was scrubbed. I couldn't find it anymore. And I was upset that I
00:16:10.660
couldn't. I said, I, you know, Manny, you're smarter than that. You got to print this stuff out,
00:16:15.700
because these scoundrels are going to change history in real time. And it did happen on that
00:16:21.460
one occasion. And there are many others. You know, it's why history is important.
00:16:26.580
Yeah. You know, I want to show you before we leave the subject of the the void that Trudeau wishes to
00:16:33.060
create. I just saw this yesterday. I want to show it to you. Tucker Carlson, who thinks about Canada a
00:16:40.100
lot and, in fact, was doing a whole documentary on Canada that was set to be released the week he was
00:16:44.660
fired. He he sent his team up to Canada, interviewed myself, David Menzies, Alexa Lavoie. I was really
00:16:51.380
looking forward to this documentary. I don't think it'll ever see the light of day. But he recently
00:16:57.380
did a podcast where he talked at some length about Justin Trudeau. And Tucker Carlson's an American
00:17:03.460
deep in his bones. He's America first. He but but I think he does follow Canada because he he detects
00:17:10.740
something in Trudeau. I'd like to play this excerpt from the full send podcast for you, Manny. And I
00:17:18.500
don't think most Canadians have seen this. And I'm not saying I agree with every word here. But I think
00:17:23.940
Tucker follows Canada more closely than ninety nine percent of Americans. And I and I think that was to
00:17:29.540
our benefit during the trucker issue. Many of Trudeau's foibles are not well covered by Canadian
00:17:35.220
media. Tucker covers them here. Let's watch this excerpt from the full send podcast. And I'd like
00:17:40.660
your most candid thoughts. And maybe you disagree with them here. Take a look. Well, people hate
00:17:45.060
Justin Trudeau there, too. Yeah. If you go to like Alberta or Calgary, like you see hockey jerseys with
00:17:49.140
like fuck Trudeau. Yeah. Like signs on trucks. It's like it's a real hate. What do you think about him?
00:17:56.020
Well, he's grotesque. I mean, he's he's not even like he's like Joe Biden. He's not even I'm not mad
00:18:02.820
at Justin Trudeau or whatever we're calling him. He's not even a real person. He's like a living
00:18:09.700
metaphor, like our president. He is a repository for this weird. It's not even left or right Democrat
00:18:16.660
or Republican. It's so much bigger than that. It's this weird techno based anti-human politics whose main
00:18:24.280
message is you don't matter. Your life doesn't matter at all. And what matters instead is like
00:18:31.240
obeying the people who are actually in charge, which is not heads of state. Right. It's huge
00:18:37.560
companies, honestly. Yeah, it's huge companies. And that's just like, who's the prime minister of
00:18:42.640
England? Do you even know? No, we've had nine in the past. No, Boris is gone. Oh, right. Exactly.
00:18:48.900
That's some woman. It's a hundred years ago. England was the most powerful country in the world,
00:18:52.300
largest empire in human history. And now it's like, who's the prime minister again? It doesn't
00:18:55.260
matter. They'll get another one next month. These things, we're looking at it the wrong way.
00:19:00.860
What matters is the ideas and who's propagating them. And it's an international group of companies
00:19:10.400
and rich people. And Justin Trudeau is just a vessel for their ambitions. He doesn't believe anything.
00:19:17.120
Justin Trudeau, if he thought, you know, it would be advantageous to him to push Nazism or Marxism,
00:19:24.280
it doesn't even matter. Like none of these things are real. It's just about control. Yeah. And the way
00:19:30.020
you control people is by convincing them. This is like your classic kind of alcoholic parent thing,
00:19:35.340
convincing them that they're worthless and they don't deserve better. Like, shut up. Who cares what
00:19:38.740
you think? We don't want to hear what you have to say. Right. Your ambitions to like make enough
00:19:44.120
money to send your kids to summer camp or retire happily. Like that's irrelevant. Like, shut up.
00:19:49.740
You don't deserve it. Go kill yourself. And so they break people's spirits. So I'm telling the truth
00:19:55.640
and I can tell that you know that I am. He's from Canada too. Right. You know. But it's happening
00:19:59.800
in the United States too. I'm not just singling out Canada here at all. It's happening all over the
00:20:04.700
West in every English speaking country, Australia, New Zealand. These were real countries like five years
00:20:09.500
ago. They're not anymore. Yeah. And the people have been broken. Their spirit has been broken.
00:20:14.200
That's powerful stuff. And Tucker has a unique way of putting things. But I think there's some truth
00:20:18.620
to it. And it goes to what you said earlier, Manning, about demonizing Canada as a genocidal country.
00:20:25.240
Everyone's a racist. Everyone's a sexist except Trudeau himself, Mr. Blackface. And I think that
00:20:30.500
there's something to Tucker when he says telling people they are not worthy of him. He's the only
00:20:36.560
worthy one. And your own goals for your life are not as important as his, you know, carbon tax plans.
00:20:42.920
I think Tucker, I might have phrased some of it differently, but I responded. I thought, yes,
00:20:50.360
Tucker sort of caught a glimpse from there. What did you think? And feel free to disagree with me,
00:20:54.400
Manny. Well, you know, as I do disagree, but I agree with what Tucker has said about the goal.
00:21:02.600
I disagree with Tucker saying that Trudeau is an empty vessel. Everyone says that about Trudeau.
00:21:10.620
I have studied him just from the beginning. There was, and again, I regret that I didn't take this
00:21:20.060
screenshot. But when Trudeau was not a politician, and I was active on Twitter, his Twitter account said
00:21:27.760
he described himself as citizen of one world. All right. Now, this man believes that there should
00:21:38.420
be one global government. How he became prime minister of a independent country is beyond me,
00:21:47.780
but I know how. But this is the person who doesn't believe in the existence of Canada.
00:21:52.700
He wants it to be morphed into this global nation. All his efforts with respect to global warming,
00:22:01.120
it's all UN-based. Submit your independence and your sovereignty to these globalists.
00:22:09.480
Trudeau actually believes that. Trudeau is not an empty vessel. He's a vessel that's been filled
00:22:16.040
to what he wanted to. There is a clip, Ezra, and it alarmed me. When he fought Senator Brazzo,
00:22:27.600
that boxing match, and he spoke to his wife, kind of said to him, calm down. It was one of those clips
00:22:35.480
that accidentally leaked. But calm down. You're being a little too pompous or something. And he goes,
00:22:43.400
I've been put on this earth for this goal. He truly believes that he's going to change Canada
00:22:51.080
into this one world government. Every law that he's put forward is to get closer to that. So
00:22:59.280
although I think Tucker is correct in understanding what the one world government types are trying to do,
00:23:06.620
i.e. marginalize individual rights, marginalize people, remove state governments, make them not
00:23:13.640
even important. Let we, the WF or whoever it may be, let us run the world and you people have nothing.
00:23:22.600
Trudeau loves that idea. It's been embedded in him since he was a teen. And his Twitter account
00:23:30.280
showed it. He is only too happy to be in power, to be the vessel to get Canada to drop all its
00:23:40.660
independent sovereignty and be part of the globalist plan. So I agree and disagree. I agree
00:23:47.820
with his context of what's happening. But believe me, Trudeau is not this empty vessel,
00:23:54.140
you know, dementia type Biden guy who's learned after 50 years, do everything so he can live his
00:24:00.760
life of crime. He's actually feels that he's fulfilling. He's one of the young guys fulfilling
00:24:05.940
this purpose of a one globalist. Yeah, I think there's a lot of truth to that. I mean, I think
00:24:11.940
what Tucker isn't fully calculating is that Justin Trudeau has sort of been groomed first by his father
00:24:20.840
and then by his father's, you know, executors of his will and managers of the trust and the Liberal
00:24:26.500
Party senior elite groomed for this position. And he deeply believes that he is not holy, but he's
00:24:36.500
a cut above us all and the destiny. Absolutely. And so I think you're right in a way that say a Jacinda
00:24:43.240
Ardern wouldn't be. She, she succeeded, but I don't think her entire life she thought, I am the
00:24:50.820
chosen one. I think Trudeau truly does. Well, listen, he said that. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I want to
00:24:57.560
talk about a couple other things and I don't want to always come back to Pierre Paul yet, but I want
00:25:02.000
to acknowledge when he's doing a good job. And I think, yeah, I see the latest polling polls out
00:25:07.340
conservative party has about an eight point lead depending on, you know, and, and this isn't just
00:25:13.740
by quote, right wing pollsters. I think the liberals are worried and you have an eight point lead.
00:25:19.460
That's not margin of error time. That's, that's a real victory, possibly even the majority government
00:25:25.140
by the conservatives. And I think one of the reasons is Pierre Paul is not as afraid to take
00:25:32.020
on issues as say Aaron O'Toole, who was afraid of his own shadow in my view. And, and he, he's not
00:25:38.520
afraid to lean into the media. And this clip just a couple of days ago, I think this is a CTV reporter,
00:25:44.320
but really it could be any reporter. And this is about bail. This is about criminals, especially
00:25:51.020
violent criminals, getting easy bail. Tamara Leach, 50 days in jail for mischief for the trucker
00:25:58.500
convoy, but violent criminals, it's a revolving door. Watch this exchange. Um, and I'd love your
00:26:04.840
thoughts on this and let's talk about bail. Take a look.
00:26:06.680
Talk about bail. The crime has already happened or the alleged crime has already happened. So
00:26:12.680
how can you attribute bail to this increase in crime and not, should we, should there not be
00:26:19.340
more supportive measures to prevent the crime in the first place? Well, uh, the, uh, the,
00:26:26.380
You're talking about someone being on bail. They've already allegedly committed the crime. So where,
00:26:30.440
you know, they're committing crimes on bail. That's the problem. The problem is, I'll give you an
00:26:38.220
example. In Vancouver, the same 40 offenders were arrested 6,000 times in a year. That's 150 arrests
00:26:50.240
per offender per year. Why? Because they're arrested in the morning. Then they're released on bail by noon.
00:26:57.200
They re-offend. They're back in jail by two in the afternoon. And then they're released by the
00:27:02.480
evening so that they can commit their final crime before they go to bed.
00:27:05.220
It's a failure of the system to not support people who have committed crimes, gone to jail,
00:27:11.480
serve their, their sentence to let, you know, and then they're committing another crime. So is this
00:27:16.760
not a failure of things like social services and support for people who have committed crimes?
00:27:24.140
No, I mean, are you serious? Come on. You're telling me. No, excuse me. Let me answer your
00:27:28.700
question. Are you honestly saying that it's society's fault if a repeat violent offender
00:27:36.760
commits 60 or 70 offenses? I think that criminal is to blame for his own actions. He is personally
00:27:44.520
responsible. We're not talking about some kid who made one mistake when he was 19. We're talking about
00:27:49.520
people who do 60, 70 violent offenses. And then they're big because they're criminals.
00:27:57.000
But why are they criminals? Because they do crime. And why do they do crime? Because we let them out
00:28:01.660
early on bail. So because they got let out. I think we've solved the riddle here. Because they got let
00:28:06.840
out early on bail. That's right. They then commit the crime. That's right. So that's what, that's what
00:28:12.240
all the experts agree is the cause of the crime. So have they stayed in jail the whole time on bail,
00:28:18.080
in jail, not on bail, as you say, they would then not commit crimes? Because they'd be in jail. So
00:28:24.040
they couldn't commit crimes. And when they get out at the end of their sentence, they're crime free?
00:28:27.700
Well, they, we can't guarantee that. But what we can guarantee is the period when they're behind bars,
00:28:32.480
they will not be able to do crime. Wow. Wow. I thought he had the right tone. Let's hear your
00:28:39.560
thoughts. What do you think, Manny? The pure ignorance of that media, liberal media bias question
00:28:47.220
just makes me irk. Look, it's very simple. But he didn't seem malicious. Like he seemed truly not
00:28:53.420
to understand. I don't know how, I don't know how, I don't know how Pierre can do it in such a
00:29:00.320
positive way. I mean, thank you. I mean, I certainly couldn't, but he did a great job
00:29:04.420
in answering that. I mean, Ezra, I don't know why journalists do not do five minutes worth of
00:29:12.640
research. You know, crime is not a new thing. It's been happening for about, since man has hit the
00:29:20.120
planet. And we've been taking... Been and able. Exactly. So we've been taking statistics. Now,
00:29:26.280
Ezra, I have personal knowledge in this. A, I'm a lawyer. I understand bail. I understand
00:29:32.880
the criminal law system. And B, I was with Mr. Harper in 2005. You might remember, Mr. Harper was
00:29:41.840
elected in 2006. A tragic thing happened on Boxing Day 2005, which helped people galvanize and were very
00:29:52.100
upset. A known criminal who had a record, was up for gun charges, was released on bail and went to
00:30:04.960
settle his crime on Yonge Street and shot at another person and accidentally killed this beautiful young
00:30:14.160
child, Jane Kriba. Now, that, it rocked me because, and it rocked Prime Minister Harper because that young
00:30:22.760
innocent woman died shopping around Christmas on Boxing Day. And that young girl, I mean, she was
00:30:30.360
about the same age and same everything as Prime Minister Harper's daughter. He immediately brought bail
00:30:38.340
reform. Every fool knows that most of the crime are committed by the same people. It's a simple
00:30:48.600
research tool. Look at it. About 90 percent, 80 percent of the crime are committed by the same 10 percent
00:30:54.680
of the people. Bail is extremely important. So what Prime Minister Harper did was tightened up bail.
00:31:02.600
And statistically, during his prime ministership, gun deaths went down 40 percent. 40 percent. You
00:31:14.020
could research it. And then when Trudeau became Prime Minister, well, of course, the Conservatives
00:31:18.920
are mean and they're racist and whatever, he said. And he removed Harper's great laws. And as a
00:31:26.500
practicing lawyer, I'm saying, oh, my God, it's working. This is great. What a great move. People are
00:31:31.580
living. People are being killed. And so he removed the laws. I remember when he did and my liberal
00:31:37.940
friends were happy about it. And I'm saying, guys, this is not a good thing. Well, since Justin Trudeau
00:31:44.260
has been in power, gun deaths or homicides have gone up 60 percent. And he's railing and ranting about
00:31:52.660
guns all the time. Ezra, I have a conclusion. I have a theory. And the theory is,
00:32:01.580
back to what we spoke about a little while ago, is the more. I mean, it's simple. Ezra,
00:32:08.820
if somebody has an illegal gun and we've seen nothing but 24 seven news, if you own an illegal
00:32:14.340
gun, it's terrible. That person shouldn't have any bail rights. So it's that simple. Why is that
00:32:21.220
not the law? It's an illegal gun. We know guns are bad. Illegal guns are bad. But I truly believe
00:32:27.140
that Trudeau, I mean, this is a terrible theory. But if you can continue the illegal gun and let
00:32:35.860
these people out and kill themselves, as actually happened, 60 percent of gun deaths have increased,
00:32:45.220
then you can seize the guns of law abiding farmers and owners. I don't, you know, because Ezra,
00:32:52.060
if you're guided by fact and you're guided by statistics, it was working. Why did they reverse
00:32:58.380
it? And they didn't. And they actually, they reversed it and there's more gun. And then every
00:33:03.740
time somebody shot in downtown Toronto or downtown Ottawa with an illegal gun on a score of criminals
00:33:11.760
doing things to each other, all of a sudden we have new gun laws or confiscating somebody in
00:33:16.780
northern Ontario or northern Quebec, they're the farmer's guns. And I think it's, Ezra, I come to
00:33:23.860
the conclusion it's intentional. It's intentional. I might have been skeptical, but my eyes have been
00:33:30.040
opened to the nature of some of this by Dr. James Lindsay, who studies critical theory. And I think
00:33:36.380
there's a difference between a liberal and a communist. And I never used the word communist
00:33:41.400
for years other than for absolute pure communists. I thought, no, that's, that's too far. That's like
00:33:47.140
calling everyone a Nazi, but the critical Marxist approach to crime, to race, to gender,
00:33:55.800
you know, back to, there's a lot of Marxist ideas, like the worst, the better. I don't know if you
00:34:00.420
ever heard that phrase. It's a, it's a radical communist idea, which is, you know, they would say
00:34:06.880
accentuate the contradiction, the contradictions, I think is another way they say it. Trudeau,
00:34:16.140
I, I, I think I agree with you, likes violent street crime in the cities. It keeps those voters
00:34:24.920
scared and voting for Trudeau who promises gun control. He doesn't control the illegal guns in
00:34:30.940
Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver. He punishes lawful, safe gun owners in the prairies, hunters, farmers,
00:34:40.460
ranchers, whatever, people in the rural parts. So he's winning every way. He keeps urban voters afraid
00:34:46.840
and he offers the solution, which is to pick on conservative lawful gun owners. The chaos,
00:34:53.800
he benefits from it. It goes to the demoralization we talked about earlier. I don't know. I think
00:35:01.380
you're right. You know, can I, go ahead. Well, I mean, as a, as a one small point, we know that
00:35:06.640
illegal guns are the source to about 90% of the gun deaths in Canada. Every Canadian, I don't care if
00:35:15.540
conservative, liberal, whatever, would agree that if an individual Canadian who knows that illegal guns
00:35:22.740
are abhorrent and should never be in anyone's possession, if that person is found with a legal
00:35:28.540
gun, any person, there should be simple law, no bail and minimum 10 year sentence. That would
00:35:36.420
alleviate 90% of the crime. But why is that law not in place? We all agree illegal guns, because that
00:35:44.380
will solve the problem. Yeah. And liberals don't want to solve gun deaths, gun violence. They talk about
00:35:51.200
making the border more strengthened. No, it's very simple. You have an illegal gun in your, not,
00:35:57.540
you have an illegal gun in your possession. After hearing everything we've heard about what illegal
00:36:01.940
guns do, you then get no bail, minimum 10 year sentence, and that will dry up. No young punk would
00:36:11.180
be, you know, gang banger would be having an illegal gun. He would say, Hey, this is too much. Maybe I'll use
00:36:17.940
a stick or something. Oh, I don't know my fists. But but that's the solution. And it worked with what
00:36:24.040
Harper didn't go that far. But it worked with the strong bail and and focus on the problem, not some
00:36:32.140
guy in Saskatchewan that needs guns to defend his property, because the RCMP is 200 miles away.
00:36:39.040
Yeah. You know, you made me think of when I was in New York City in 2002, not too long after 9-11,
00:36:51.060
it was the Republican convention, if I recall correctly. I went to a press conference, sort of
00:36:58.500
a conference where one of the speakers was Rudy Giuliani's right hand man for mopping up crime
00:37:05.580
in the city. You might recall that in the 70s and 80s, New York City was a crime nightmare. It was
00:37:11.520
the stuff of terrible dystopian movies. It was a city in decline. Rudy Giuliani turned that city
00:37:17.880
around. And with dramatic moves, but also small incremental steps. James Q. Wilson's theory of
00:37:24.860
broken windows. You know, you park a car on the street, no one touches it. You break one window.
00:37:31.260
People say, oh, it's it's free for all. Then all the windows are broken. The car is stripped.
00:37:36.700
It's sort of the signals you send. And what I learned that day, 20 years ago, and I remember
00:37:40.880
to this day in New York, according to Giuliani's right hand man, often it was just one criminal
00:37:49.580
who would terrorize an entire city block. Right. Hundreds of people, just one guy who made hundreds
00:37:56.940
of people have bars on their windows, not go outside living here. If you could sweep this one guy off
00:38:03.100
the streets instead of just putting him back and back and back and back on bail, you would free a
00:38:08.300
hundred people, change an entire neighborhood. It was just one guy all the time. And as they picked up
00:38:15.420
those guys by enforcing small laws, jaywalking, whatever, people came out of their houses again.
00:38:22.220
They sat on their steps again. The community emerged again and they were free. And they didn't
00:38:28.140
know at the time that it was just such a small number. As you said, 10 percent of the criminals
00:38:32.700
doing 80 percent of the crime. And I'm reminded of how Giuliani mopped up New York. And we need that
00:38:38.860
in our cities. We need that in Toronto and Vancouver. We also need it in Calgary and Edmonton
00:38:43.660
and other places, too. Listen, Manny, we're almost out of time, but I want to hear from you a quick
00:38:48.700
snapper. I was shocked to learn that Trudeau is still going full tilt, buying tens of millions of
00:38:56.780
doses of vaccines. Tell me the stats. I haven't been following this. This comes as a bit of a surprise
00:39:01.900
to me. Well, it's not only a surprise, but 90 million doses this year have been purchased by Trudeau,
00:39:09.180
90 million next year. And I think 90 million for another tilt. It's, I think, a three-year contract,
00:39:14.700
so 2,000. There is only about half a million people now asking for booster shots. And I think
00:39:23.420
most of them are being forced in old age homes and so on. So clearly something's wrong. But there's a
00:39:28.460
question that I put to people. You know, I raise this issue. I go, well, you know, this is a lot of
00:39:33.260
money for nothing. And of course, the apologists, the liberal apologists say, well, you know,
00:39:40.140
what do you expect, Manny? We were in a crisis and Trudeau made a long-term contract, so we had to do
00:39:45.740
that. And then, Ezra, here's the question. And everyone forgets the truth and the facts because
00:39:53.500
it's a modern thing to do. But during the crisis, when the vaccines came out, Canada was late in
00:39:59.820
purchasing the vaccines. I think we were the 58th country in line on, so we already knew that the
00:40:06.460
vaccines were not going to work when we bought it. But let's assume that Trudeau did the contract at
00:40:12.060
the very first day. The premise of the vaccines were quite simple. They're 100% effective. They'll get
00:40:19.900
you to herd immunity. All we need is 60 to 70% of the population, two dose and we're free. If we get 60
00:40:28.300
to 70%, well, in fact, we got about 80% and everyone got two dose and it didn't do anything.
00:40:36.940
So the question I put to Justin Trudeau or his government is, if you knew that these doses were
00:40:44.300
what you said or advertised and that they work 100% or 95% in efficacy, that's all we heard,
00:40:51.420
and all we need is two shots and we're free and we got herd immunity, then why would you enter
00:40:57.100
into a multi-year contract? Entering into a multi-year contract is an admission that these
00:41:03.260
vaccines didn't work from the beginning because you would need it if they worked. So in my view,
00:41:10.620
again, in my critical thinking, this is a massive fraud committed by a massive fraud company that has
00:41:19.740
been found guilty with the biggest fraud in history and simply they did an arrangement to enrich
00:41:26.940
certain people and probably be politicians. But why would you enter into a multi-year contract
00:41:33.500
of a drug that's supposed to free you in the first year? Yeah. You know, you're referring to
00:41:38.780
Pfizer paying a $2.3 billion fine for practices. You know, we still don't know which company it was,
00:41:45.180
paid $50,000 to bribe the boss of Unifor Union. I think it's shocking that that has not been
00:41:50.780
shot a light on. I wonder if it's because maybe other, is it really true that the head of Unifor
00:41:55.580
was the only person in the country in public office who took a $50,000 cash payoff? I doubt it was,
00:42:01.660
he was the only one. He's the only one who so far has been caught. And the fact that the rest of the
00:42:05.660
establishment has not named the company. Well, I got to give it to, I got to give it to Pfizer
00:42:10.140
because, you know, they are the largest fraudulent criminal fine in history. And that was, I think,
00:42:19.660
a dozen years ago. But I think they learned something and they learned how do we do it better?
00:42:26.540
And how they did is they co-opted the media. Every ad I watch on TV. So once you've got the media on
00:42:34.140
side and you do your boat, you know, I'll call it legal bribery by buying tons of ads.
00:42:39.580
I mean, this is why Fox News probably got rid of Tucker Carlson. He looked at it and said,
00:42:44.140
hey, why are we on the side of Pfizer when we should be on side of citizens? So I got to give
00:42:50.940
it to the big farmer. They had the doctors, they had the politicians, but you know what? If you get
00:42:58.060
the media on your side, you're never going to see a bad report. Brilliant.
00:43:02.140
Yeah. Yeah. I hate to say it. You're right. Manny Montenegrino, always a pleasure. Thanks
00:43:07.180
for spending so much time with us. Have a great weekend and look forward to getting with you again
00:43:11.180
soon. Thank you very much, Ezra. All the best. Right on. There you have it. Manny Montenegrino,
00:43:16.380
CEO of ThinkSharp. That's our show for today. Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel
00:43:22.620
World Headquarters, see you at home. Good night and keep fighting for freedom.
