Hello, my rebels. Today, I take you through a press release from a very excited little company
00:00:06.520
you might have heard of called Pfizer. They're actually not a little company at all. They're
00:00:11.820
monstrously large, and they have big plans for your children, children as young as six months
00:00:20.080
old. I'll take you through their press release, including their health warnings that I think
00:00:26.480
they're hoping you don't read, but they published them. That's next. Before I get to that, let me
00:00:31.140
invite you to become a Rebel News Plus subscriber. It's the video version of this podcast, so you get
00:00:35.520
all the other production elements, all the photos, all the video clips, all the charts and graphs, and
00:00:41.080
unfortunately, my ugly face. But it is the video version. I think it's very well done, if I may say
00:00:46.580
so. I think it's worth viewing. You also get Sheila Gunn-Reed's show, David Menzies' show, Andrew
00:00:54.980
Chapitro's show. But actually, there's another reason I'd like you to subscribe, and it's because

00:01:06.040
various bailouts. So frankly, even if you have no plans to ever watch a Rebel News video,

00:01:24.980
Tonight, great news for Pfizer. Their gene therapy vaccine is now for kids. It's April
00:01:42.260
1st, and no, this isn't an April Fool's Day joke.
00:01:44.760
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:50.700
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:54.740
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's
00:02:05.360
You know the coronavirus doesn't affect children, right? I mean, it's as close to zero as possible.
00:02:12.160
Here's the latest from Health Canada. 22,655 people in Canada have died from COVID-19 or
00:02:21.680
with COVID-19. That's important to remember. So 15,580 of those people are 80 years old plus.
00:02:31.540
You see that? Another 4,300 are 70 to 79 years old. See that? 1,772 are 60 to 69. So if you add that
00:02:41.160
all up, people 60 years old and older represent 96% of all COVID-19 deaths. And if you look at the
00:02:50.520
other end of the age spectrum, ages 0 to 19, you can see that according to Health Canada, they represent
00:02:56.420
0.0% 0.0% of the COVID deaths. It's actually a tiny bit higher than that. It's 0.03% because
00:03:08.280
they claim that six people out of the 22,655 deaths were under age 20. Now I've seen some reports about
00:03:18.760
those six unfortunate kids. And there's some doubt in my mind as to whether you can accurately
00:03:24.060
ascribe their deaths to the virus. Some of those kids had terrible underlying pre-existing
00:03:30.200
conditions. They were very sick to begin with. I'm very sorry for their passing, but you can see for
00:03:35.440
yourself, it is next to zero death toll for the kids. Almost zero. They say 0.0%. Even though people
00:03:44.680
under 20 years old make up 21% of Canada's population, according to Statistics Canada. So
00:03:50.640
people under 20 are about 1,000 times less likely to get sick than anyone else. I mean, that's why
00:03:59.740
kids just don't care about this anymore. They don't believe the hype anymore. Here's a scene from
00:04:03.780
Montreal. Our reporter Yankee Pollack covered the other day. It's springtime in Montreal now. It's nice
00:04:09.580
out now. Kids have been cooped up for a year now, just sitting at home, getting fat, watching Netflix,
00:04:15.020
staring at their phones. And a hundred or more kids decided to go to the park to say hello to each
00:04:20.740
other politely, listen to some music. There was no fighting. There was nothing bad. Just kids getting
00:04:26.860
outside, getting some fresh air, talking to other normal humans, maybe getting off their phone for a
00:04:34.540
moment, getting a social life back, being normal, healthy people again, stopping the fear. I think
00:04:40.220
it's the healthiest thing those kids have done in a year. My favorite or least favorite part of that
00:04:44.980
was when that one cop car pulled up and the lady cops start shouting at the kids on her loudspeaker,
00:04:51.920
threatening them with fines. And the kids absolutely ignored her. What was she going to do? Get out in the
00:04:58.600
car and chase some of them in some big game of tag and catch them? She actually threatened them with a
00:05:04.200
$1,500 fine. Is that even legal? I love that the kids ignored her. I hate that the police are
00:05:10.180
building a generation of children who disrespect and distrust the police, though. But that's the
00:05:14.400
fault of the police for doing foolish political errands, no common sense, instead of actually
00:05:20.020
protecting people and fighting crime. Those kids are not at risk of anything. To say otherwise is
00:05:26.540
junk science. There are about 8 million kids in Canada, and by that I mean people under 20.
00:05:32.740
8 million kids, 6 of them allegedly died from the virus. That is less than one in a million.
00:05:42.380
Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to scare you, and you'll notice that my only sources for
00:05:47.900
data here are Government of Canada official sources. I acknowledge that 22,655 people have died from
00:05:55.920
this, and I'm sad about anyone's passing, so it's about double or triple the usual death toll from
00:06:02.300
the regular flu, except that it's almost uniquely an old person's disease. I'm not happy about anyone
00:06:09.400
getting it, but a year into it. Why are we shutting down young people and places for young people?
00:06:16.540
In whose possible interest is that? Who benefits? Cui bono, as they say in Latin.
00:06:23.540
Who wins here? Not parents, not the kids. Well, think, think, think. If we terrify and terrorize kids,
00:06:31.840
but then someone says, I have an idea. I can stop the terror for a hundred bucks a kid.
00:06:38.440
Well, maybe now we know who benefits from this. Well, let me read to you almost an entire press
00:06:44.540
release from Pfizer, one of the drug companies selling a vaccine. The other day, I read to you
00:06:51.900
from Pfizer's Investor Relations press conference, where they were super excited about having everybody
00:06:57.640
getting one dose, moving to everyone getting two doses. That's double the money for Pfizer,
00:07:04.440
and they were talking about getting everybody to have three doses. They're pretty excited over there
00:07:09.180
at Pfizer, but really, aren't they ignoring a huge part of the market by not selling to kids?
00:07:16.580
I mean, McDonald's has Happy Meals with a kid's toy in them. McDonald's even has little playgrounds
00:07:24.020
right in some of their restaurants. Maybe Pfizer can do something like that. Get the kids excited
00:07:29.460
about it. You know, Krispy Kreme says you get free donuts if you get the jab. Apparently, that's the
00:07:36.880
public health solution we're all looking for, more donuts. Lock down the gyms. Ban kids' sports,
00:07:43.360
but free donuts for all. But let me read to you in full, or almost in full, I'll skip some boring
00:07:48.900
parts from a Pfizer press release just yesterday. I'm going to read extensively from it. I promise
00:07:57.100
you won't see this anywhere else, certainly not in the media party. Here's the headline.
00:08:02.980
Pfizer BioNTech announced positive top-line results of pivotal COVID-19 vaccine study in
00:08:09.980
adolescents, March 31st, 2021. And then they have these sub-headlines.
00:08:15.620
In participants aged 12 to 15 years old, BNT162b2, that's the name of their vaccine,
00:08:23.940
demonstrated 100% efficacy and robust antibody responses, exceeding those reported in trial
00:08:31.100
of vaccinated 16 to 25-year-old participants in an earlier analysis and was well-tolerated.
00:08:38.400
The companies plan to submit these data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
00:08:42.020
and the European Medicines Agency as soon as possible to request expansion of the emergency
00:08:49.480
use authorization and EU conditional marketing authorization for the vaccine. The companies
00:08:56.920
also provided an update on the phase 1-2-3 study in children aged 6 months to 11 years.
00:09:04.400
Hey guys, our vaccine is 100% effective in kids. Yeah, we know because kids' immune systems are
00:09:14.120
pretty much 100% effective. They may get the coronavirus, but it won't be serious and they
00:09:21.400
won't die from it. At least 99.98% of them will be just fine. But I'm just blown away by the fact that
00:09:30.800
they're testing this emergency medicine for a disease that is an old person's disease,
00:09:37.180
they're testing it on children 12 to 15 years old and they have started testing children of tender
00:09:44.480
years as young as 6 months old. What kind of parent tests a gene therapy drug? That's how it's described
00:09:54.080
in the science. A gene therapy drug on a healthy baby. Six months old baby. That baby's still nursing.
00:10:01.620
That baby can't speak. That baby communicates in part by crying. Okay, so, I mean, is this baby crying
00:10:08.720
because all babies cry or is this baby crying because you're testing a radical new emergency medicine
00:10:13.740
on a baby? Who the hell would let their child be used as a lab rat in such an experiment? In college,
00:10:21.380
I had a buddy who was always really short of money and desperate and he signed up for a medical
00:10:26.200
experiment. And he told me what it was like basically hanging out all day with other people
00:10:31.580
who were desperate for cash, smoking cigarettes and playing pool and board games. And he made that
00:10:37.540
money. But it was just him, an adult, a single guy who needed cash. He made his decision for himself.
00:10:44.300
But how desperate for cash do you need to be to let a pharmaceutical company test their
00:10:51.040
experimental vaccine on your six-month-old baby for a disease that is a worry for people over 80
00:10:59.000
years old? Is that even ethical to do that to a baby? Here, I'll read more. It's a press release.
00:11:05.940
New York and Minds Germany, Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech today announced that in a phase three trial in
00:11:11.940
adolescence 12 to 15 years of age with or without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection,
00:11:18.680
the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162B2, demonstrated 100% efficacy in robust antibody
00:11:26.080
responses exceeding those recorded earlier in vaccinated participants aged 16 to 25 years old
00:11:32.160
and was well-tolerated. These are top-line results from a pivotal phase three trial in 2,260 adolescents.
00:11:41.540
We share the urgency to expand the authorization of our vaccine to use in younger populations
00:11:48.580
and are encouraged by the clinical trial data from adolescents between the ages of 12 and 15,
00:11:54.380
said Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Pfizer.
00:11:58.000
We plan to submit these data to FDA as a proposed amendment to our emergency use authorization in
00:12:03.940
the coming weeks and to other regulators around the world with the hope of starting to vaccinate
00:12:08.480
this age group before the start of the next school year, unquote. There you go. They're in a real rush,
00:12:14.180
aren't they? Wow. They want to vaccinate your children before the next school year. That's just a few
00:12:18.780
months away. They've got a lot of money to make people. Hurry up and approve this FDA. You could almost hear
00:12:24.800
him salivate. You could almost hear the ka-ching in his mind. Here, I'll read more.
00:12:30.320
Across the globe, we are longing for a normal life. This is especially true for our children.
00:12:36.680
The initial results we have seen in the adolescent studies suggest that children are particularly well
00:12:41.840
protected by vaccination, which is very encouraging given the trends we've seen in recent weeks
00:12:46.840
regarding the spread of the B.1.1.7 UK variant. It is very important to enable them to get back to
00:12:52.920
everyday school life and to meet friends and family while protecting them and their loved ones,
00:12:58.220
said Yuger Sahin, CEO and co-founder of Biontech. Really? I actually read their investor presentation
00:13:06.260
the other day. They're pretty eager to not have things go back to normal. They're pretty eager to
00:13:13.180
have a third shot requirement. They're pretty eager to extend this emergency as long as possible.
00:13:18.880
It's true that kids want to get back to normal life, but face mask theater and lockdowns and
00:13:24.820
unnecessary vaccines, that is not normal life. And hey, Pfizer executives, why don't you test this
00:13:32.680
drug on your kids first, not on mine? I'm going to read a paragraph with some jargon in it,
00:13:40.320
but I think it's still understandable. About the phase three data from adolescents 12 to 15 years
00:13:45.780
of age, the trial enrolled 2,260 adolescents 12 to 15 years of age in the United States.
00:13:53.840
In the trial, 18 cases of COVID-19 were observed in the placebo group, 1,129 people, versus none in
00:14:02.680
the vaccinated group, 1,131 people. Vaccination with BNT-162b2, that's the vaccine, elicited coronavirus
00:14:11.420
neutralizing antibody geometric mean titers of 1,239, 1,239.5, demonstrating strong immunogenicity
00:14:22.960
in a subset of adolescents one month after the second dose. Sorry for the jargon, I'm almost through it.
00:14:28.680
This compares well, was non-inferior to GMTs elicited by participants aged 16 to 25 years old
00:14:37.100
in an earlier analysis. Further, the vaccine administration was well tolerated with side
00:14:42.540
effects generally consistent with those observed in participants 16 to 25 years of age. Okay, I'm
00:14:47.300
through it. So if you missed that, they give the shot to 1,131 kids, and they didn't give the shot
00:14:54.420
to 1,129 kids. But that second group, they didn't tell which kids got the vaccine or the placebo.
00:15:02.080
So for some of these kids, they pretended it was a vaccine, but it was nothing. And the 18
00:15:06.780
placebo kids had a case of the virus and none in the vaccine group. But what's a case of COVID-19?
00:15:15.080
I take it no one died in this study. Did anyone even get sick? Or was it just a case? What's a case?
00:15:24.540
Is a case of false positive like this? If you test somebody today, you only know if they're infected
00:15:32.560
today. And in fact, if you're testing in a population that doesn't have very much COVID,
00:15:39.780
you'll get false positives almost half the time. That is, the person actually doesn't have COVID,
00:15:45.940
they have something else, they may have nothing.
00:15:47.640
So we're about to give kids by the millions a vaccine so they don't make a test result positive?
00:15:56.000
Not to protect their health, really. Not to stop them from dying, because they're not dying.
00:16:01.480
But to stop cases? I'll read some more. The company's plan to submit these data to the FDA and EMA
00:16:08.000
for a requested amendment to the Emergency Use Authorization of the virus and the EU Conditional
00:16:13.280
Marketing Authorization to expand use in adolescents 12 to 15 years of age as quickly as possible.
00:16:20.840
All participants in the trial will continue to be monitored for long-term protection and safety
00:16:26.520
for an additional two years after their second dose. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:16:34.840
So you say you want to get this into kids' arms as soon as possible, before the next school year,
00:16:39.720
but you just said you need to keep looking at these kids for at least two more years before you know
00:16:46.620
that they're safe, because you just injected them with it, and it might have a long-term effect.
00:16:52.000
You need two more years before you're sure, but you want to start giving this vaccine to my kids
00:16:57.500
as quickly as possible? And get this, Pfizer and BioNTech plan to submit the data for
00:17:04.720
scientific peer review for potential publication. You haven't done that yet? So you haven't had
00:17:13.000
your work peer reviewed yet? You haven't had other people check your work yet? I mean, other than
00:17:17.560
Pfizer business executives who are pretty excited that they can add a new kids' Happy Meal product line.
00:17:24.480
But look at this. Update on the Phase 1-2-3 study in children six months to 11 years old.
00:17:30.340
Last week, Pfizer and BioNTech dosed the first healthy children in a global Phase 1-2-3
00:17:35.820
seamless study to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Pfizer-BioNTech
00:17:43.520
COVID-19 vaccine in children six months to 11 years of age. The study is evaluating the safety,
00:17:49.200
tolerability, and immunogenicity of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on a two-dose schedule
00:17:54.760
approximately 21 days apart in three age groups, children aged 5 to 11, 2 to 5, and 6 months to
00:18:02.020
two years. The 5 to 11-year-old cohort started dosing last week, and the companies plan to
00:18:09.040
initiate the 2 to 5-year-old cohort next week. This is unreal. They never want this to stop, do they?
00:18:17.340
They want what Bill Gates said he wanted. Every human to be injected. Children, pregnant moms,
00:18:26.500
malnourished people, sick people, whatever, everyone. One big, enormous market. There's
00:18:31.580
billions of dollars out there, folks. You know, there may actually be a legal emergency, as in
00:18:37.620
some official has declared a state of emergency, but I'm not so sure there's an actual pandemic
00:18:43.940
emergency anymore. COVID deaths aren't a significant reason why people die. Take a look at this. This
00:18:50.600
is, again, StatisticsCam. There's a chart from StatsCam counting the number of deaths in every
00:18:56.140
single province every single week. I'm going to choose Ontario just because it's the biggest province,
00:19:00.920
just as an example. It's really the same for every province. I'll pick the most recent week
00:19:07.540
they report for Ontario, which is November 8th, 2020. You'll see in that one week, 2,240 people
00:19:14.840
died in Ontario. And I'm sorry that they died, but people die. They didn't die from COVID, though,
00:19:23.460
at least not most of them. 325 died from cancer, 225 from a heart disease, 60 from a stroke, 45 from
00:19:33.020
lung disease, 40 from accidents. You can see that 90 are listed as COVID deaths, which means they died
00:19:40.700
from or with COVID. And then you see 925 from other causes, and we could drill down into those.
00:19:48.760
Those would include a number of other diseases and suicide. But here's my point. Out of 2,240 deaths
00:19:57.180
in Ontario that one week, 4% of the deaths were deaths from someone that had COVID. 4%. 96% of the
00:20:05.420
people who died in Ontario, nothing to do with COVID. I'd like to know how many suicides and drug
00:20:10.980
overdoses came from the secondary effect of the COVID lockdowns, depression, unemployment. Oh, by the way,
00:20:18.900
just to tell you, no children have died ever from COVID in Ontario. But Pfizer says it's an emergency,
00:20:28.660
at least their shareholders think so. I'll read more. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has not
00:20:35.620
been approved or licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but has been authorized for
00:20:40.140
emergency use by FDA under an emergency use authorization to prevent coronavirus disease
00:20:46.340
for use in individuals 16 years of age and older. The emergency use of this product is only
00:20:51.820
authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist, justifying the authorization
00:20:57.480
of emergency use of the medical product under Section 564B1 of the FD&C Act, unless the declaration
00:21:04.140
is terminated or authorization revoked sooner. Please see the emergency use authorization fact sheet
00:21:09.840
for healthcare providers administering the vaccine, blah, blah, blah. So they're just giving you a
00:21:15.020
little bit of the legal background, but they're saying this has not been approved other than on
00:21:19.320
an emergency basis. Then in the press release, there's some corporate bragging, which I'm not
00:21:25.140
going to read. I'll skip it over. But I want to read to you what they put at the very bottom of their
00:21:30.880
press release. You're almost at the bottom. I think their lawyers told them to put this in there.
00:21:35.440
It's the warnings. It's the side effects. And it is quite a read. Tell me if you've seen this anywhere
00:21:44.340
else in the media, okay? Important safety information from US FDA emergency use authorization
00:21:50.380
prescribing information. Do not administer Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to individuals with
00:21:57.960
known history of a severe allergic reaction, e.g. anaphylaxis, to any component of the Pfizer-COVID-19 vaccine.
00:22:06.420
Appropriate medical treatment used to manage immediate allergic reactions must be immediately
00:22:12.740
available in the event an acute anaphylactic reaction occurs following administration of the
00:22:18.220
vaccine. So don't give this to anyone who has allergic reactions. And if you give it to anyone,
00:22:23.340
have emergency allergy responses nearby, guys, okay? Monitor Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine recipients
00:22:31.400
for the occurrence of immediate adverse reactions according to the Centers for Disease Control
00:22:36.820
Provincial Guidelines. Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressant
00:22:44.220
therapy, may have a diminished immune response to the vaccine. The vaccine may not protect
00:22:51.060
all vaccine recipients. Okay. Hey, but kids, it's really great. Like a Happy Meal, you can even get
00:22:58.240
a toy with it. Now read this. This is the crazy part. In clinical studies, adverse reactions in participants
00:23:09.300
16 years of age and older included pain at the injection site, 84%, fatigue, 63%, headache, 55%,
00:23:23.560
muscle pain, 38%, chills, 32%, joint pain, 24%, fever, 14%, injection site swelling, 10.5%, injection site redness,
00:23:37.620
9.5%, nausea, malaise, and lymphadenopathy. Can you imagine voluntarily giving this to your healthy
00:23:50.000
child? And as I just showed you, they are still monitoring their human guinea pigs for two more
00:23:58.980
years. They don't know what's going to happen to those kids in 6, 12, 18, 24 months in five years. I'll read
00:24:06.400
just a little bit more. Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported following the
00:24:12.640
Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine during mass vaccination outside of clinical trials. Additional adverse reactions,
00:24:18.780
some of which may be serious, may become apparent with more widespread use of the Pfizer vaccine.
00:24:24.600
You don't say. So we're actually part of the experiment, aren't we? Available data on the vaccine
00:24:31.480
administered to pregnant women are insufficient to inform vaccine-associated risks in pregnancy.
00:24:37.660
Imagine being so desperate for cash that you would let them test it on you when you had a baby in your
00:24:44.440
womb. Imagine how desperate a woman must be to take cash from Pfizer to do that to her baby.
00:24:56.120
Data are not available to assess the effects of Pfizer vaccine on the breastfed infant or milk
00:25:01.840
production excretion. Oh, you're part of the experiment, guys. And by the way, there's no research on
00:25:10.080
mixing and matching vaccines. There are no data available on the interchangeability of the
00:25:17.120
Pfizer vaccine with other vaccines to complete the vaccination series. Individuals who have received
00:25:23.940
one dose of Pfizer vaccine should receive a second dose of Pfizer vaccine to complete the vaccination
00:25:29.840
series. But we know they want a third dose. Vaccination providers must report adverse events
00:25:37.100
in accordance with the fact sheet. The report should include the words Pfizer-BioNTech-COVID-19
00:25:45.360
vaccine EUA in the description selection report. As we showed you yesterday, there have been more
00:25:51.380
adverse reactions in the past year to vaccines than the past decade combined. So yeah, great news,
00:25:57.900
guys. The vaccine is now ready for your kids. And if you don't sign up your kids for these vaccines,
00:26:05.080
no school, no sports, no summer camp, no shopping, no restaurants, no travel, no visiting other
00:26:13.420
kids. This is absolutely for your health, you see. Absolutely doesn't have anything to do with
00:26:19.920
enriching and empowering the public health industrial complex. No. Wait, you're worried about your kids?
00:26:26.780
You don't want this vaccine? What are you, some, some sort of monster? Stay with us for now.
00:26:40.380
Hey, hey, what's going on? Are you driving me? Don't fight back! Don't fight back!
00:27:20.840
We've been through this so many times with you guys.
00:27:39.840
Hey, what's going on? I need to hold my camera.
00:27:46.840
What do you mean you f***ing smashing my camera?
00:27:50.840
Why don't you use your guns and go after criminals?
00:28:16.840
The collective forces of this nation is perverted.
00:28:42.840
That is footage from Montreal where our team was on the ground documenting what I think
00:28:51.840
For months I thought that dishonor belonged to Toronto.
00:28:54.840
But not only does Montreal have a regular lockdown, they have a curfew at night treating adults
00:29:01.840
like children, treating innocent people like criminals, treating the healthy people as if
00:29:08.840
And as you can see, the police in Montreal don't like to be scrutinized.
00:29:36.840
Lord knows we fight tickets for any public citizen.
00:29:40.840
We will continue to shine a light of public scrutiny on what I believe is police brutality.
00:29:47.840
I want to salute you and our other young reporters.
00:29:50.840
You have a courage and a spirit of freedom in you that I find quite touching.
00:29:55.840
And I want to thank you for being at some physical risk because they're pushing you around.
00:30:02.840
They're threatening you and yet you endure it and go back for more.
00:30:09.840
I went there initially to put a light on what's going on because three weeks before they deployed tear gas to the crowd.
00:30:21.840
So and I thought, what are we doing in Toronto?
00:30:23.840
We should be there now that Toronto has ended the stay at home order.
00:30:27.840
No longer the police goes around and arrest people randomly.
00:30:36.840
I didn't want what's going on in Montreal to go unnoticed.
00:30:41.840
And the first time we arrived there two weeks ago, I was recording a gentleman's arrest for not wearing a mask.
00:30:50.840
And while I was recording that, the police came up to me very close personally.
00:30:55.840
They don't care about the two meter rule or anything.
00:30:59.840
He grabbed me by my arm and then pulled me over and then gave me a ticket for not wearing a mask.
00:31:04.840
And then tried to compel me to wear a mask that he provided with his hands.
00:31:12.840
And I and told me if I don't wear that, he would give me more tickets.
00:31:23.840
I think he zeroed in on you quite clearly because you were recording him.
00:31:28.840
I don't think police in Quebec are used to scrutiny.
00:31:32.840
Now, the other day when you guys were in Montreal, you guys been going there and the police now know you.
00:31:41.840
You could you could see that in that clip we played.
00:31:45.840
They know our Montreal colleague Yankee Pollock.
00:31:51.840
But I think he's our only person there who's Jewish.
00:32:02.840
But for him to call us Jewish media or are you a Jew that I thought that was weird and I don't understand it.
00:32:10.840
I don't like it if it's some sort of anti-Semitic thing.
00:32:16.840
I think we could be any color, any race, any background.
00:32:20.840
The police would hate us anyways because we're showing what they're doing that.
00:32:26.840
What's your what did you think that was all about?
00:32:28.840
I don't know what's going on internally with the officers there, but they are very unprofessional, very amateur.
00:32:37.840
And the first night when we were going around downtown recording the curfew, we came across a guy who was smoking a cigarette in front of his apartment.
00:32:53.840
And he said, oh, the police officers are here to bust the party.
00:33:01.840
And then the police officer comes out of his vehicle and says, what are you doing here?
00:33:14.840
And then he says, oh, in your paper, your workplace is in Toronto.
00:33:54.840
We're looking for police interactions with the citizens.
00:33:58.840
It says here that under the law, you're allowed only to go from your home to your place of work.
00:34:07.840
In what sense we're here to record how the curfew is?
00:34:15.840
I mean, I'm not saying, yeah, you can choose to go out, but it says here that you're only
00:34:20.840
obligated, you're only allowed to go from your house to your place of work.
00:34:26.840
And you told me that on the phone when we spoke.
00:34:36.840
I know the Orthodox Jewish community has a lot of friction with the police.
00:34:43.840
The media or what I call the media party, the legacy media, the government media, the bailout
00:34:56.840
They either cheerlead or they don't cover it at all.
00:35:01.840
So I actually think the cops are shocked that any media would dare to scrutinize.
00:35:09.840
And would ask skeptical questions and wouldn't be obedient stenographers.
00:35:12.840
I think they're just mad anyone's reporting them.
00:35:15.840
They were also, I think, mad because we kept recording because after questioning us why
00:35:22.840
we're here and why we're recording, he told me, you are under no legal obligation to record.
00:35:28.840
Well, of course, we're not under a legal obligation.
00:35:38.840
There's no such thing as a cop saying, turn off your camera.
00:35:44.840
It's because something's about to happen that they don't want either the public to see
00:35:52.840
They themselves don't have dash cams or body cams.
00:35:55.840
And what I noticed, their name tags are made of some material, like metal, I think.
00:36:00.840
And sometimes when the sun hits, it shines back at the camera and you can't see the name.
00:36:07.840
Our friend Yankee Pollack, and he does a lot of social media, so he's not frequently a reporter,
00:36:12.840
although because he's out there, he goes out and he just walks around and he films things.
00:36:24.840
So he actually engages with these cops and they know him.
00:36:28.840
And I don't think they like him because they've given him, I think, more than $10,000 worth of fines,
00:36:34.840
even though he shows them his exemption every time.
00:36:37.840
But the move they use against him that really bugs me is they have those very bright searchlights.
00:36:44.840
And whenever Yankee comes to ask him a question, they take a searchlight and point it right in his face to defeat the camera
00:36:53.840
and also to cause him discomfort and make him look away and to obscure themselves.
00:36:58.840
I think that that is childish, bullying, aggressive, belligerent.
00:37:09.840
It shows that they're doing something they are not proud of, those cops.
00:37:15.840
Hey, I'm going to block your camera with a light.
00:37:20.840
That's all a poker tell, a giveaway that they know what they're doing is wrong.
00:37:26.840
Yeah, and the second week when we came, we didn't even go into the demonstration yet.
00:37:32.840
We just arrived and there were two officers walking and we were recording them.
00:37:36.840
They noticed us and then they came around and grabbed me for not wearing a mask.
00:37:42.840
Of course, this is not about mask or anything because all the supervisors that I noticed in different locations, different times,
00:37:50.840
the supervisors are not wearing the mask for some reason.
00:37:56.840
And the second time when I was arrested, I already had my mask on.
00:38:03.840
It was a mask that also, it was a mask we bought because they deployed tear gas two weeks ago.
00:38:15.840
It was in case the police tried to tear gas you.
00:38:17.840
So that's actually, you probably had the best mask on the street.
00:38:22.840
And I have been wearing that for half of the demonstration because I knew that the riot police would ambush the protesters and then pick randomly who they want to arrest.
00:38:33.840
And they arrested this guy who was already wearing a mask.
00:38:38.840
And we were trying to record, we were trying to understand what's going on, but they wouldn't let us go through.
00:38:44.840
And Efron, they wouldn't let us go through even after they grabbed the guy and they were going back.
00:39:05.840
And David did an interview with this gentleman in Queen's Park.
00:39:09.840
You can't hear a single word of the guy, what he's saying, because the mask blocks it.
00:39:14.840
So I removed the mask to say, why are you arresting him?
00:39:18.840
They are, why did you arrest two members of the media?
00:39:20.840
And then this big cop riot police comes and says, put back your mask on.
00:39:27.840
And then my brain just, I said, wait, who is he to tell me to do that?
00:39:38.840
Why don't you use your guns and go after criminals?
00:40:04.840
Well, it's unusual to have such principled courage.
00:40:09.840
I watched that footage, especially Efron, our head of video.
00:40:13.840
I felt that was deeply unfair and abusive and harassing the way they treated him.
00:40:19.840
And again, I don't know if there's a bit of anti-Semitism towards Yankee.
00:40:26.840
You and Efron, I think, would be called visible minorities.
00:40:34.840
I don't necessarily think it's any of those things.
00:40:37.840
I think it's that you're shining a light of public scrutiny.
00:40:48.840
It's not that Efron or you have a certain skin color.
00:40:54.840
But it is because you are telling the other side of the story.
00:41:00.840
They are trying to intimidate and deter us from continually coming there every weekend.
00:41:07.840
And I remember when that happened at City Hall in Toronto.
00:41:11.840
And the police were driving you and David Menzies away.
00:41:27.840
But I think if the police continue to defy our Canadian norms of freedom of press.
00:41:47.840
It's about what is Canada like a year into the lockdowns.
00:41:52.840
We can't just passively accept what everyone else has accepted.
00:41:58.840
And I'm afraid that what is going on in Quebec will come to Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia.
00:42:06.840
Because they have been going through these curfews for almost more than a month now.
00:42:11.840
And the police walks around and grabs whoever they like who don't wear a mask.
00:42:19.840
You said one more thing to me when we were talking on the phone.
00:42:25.840
You said, I think you said, it's like Istanbul.
00:42:31.840
In Istanbul, lately, this has become a thing in my, when I was living there.
00:42:39.840
There is like so many police officers everywhere.
00:42:43.840
And these new hires are, they only need a high school diploma to become an officer with gun.
00:42:50.840
And they go around and randomly stop people at major intersections.
00:42:55.840
At the middle of the night in a, in a suburb neighborhood.
00:43:04.840
And if you're lucky, if you go from point A to B in Istanbul without being stopped by police and get your bag searched.
00:43:11.840
And we have, I have seen many videos where in Istanbul outdoors you have to wear the mask.
00:43:17.840
And there was this guy who pulled down his mask and he was smoking a cigarette.
00:43:22.840
Or there was this girl who was talking on the phone without a mask outside.
00:43:25.840
The police will come up to her or him and the media will come there.
00:43:29.840
And they will record the police giving her a ticket.
00:43:32.840
And then the headlines would be, oh, look at this woman giving the police a tough time.
00:43:40.840
So, and it does, Quebec feels, Montreal felt like that because I was in a single day abducted by police.
00:43:56.840
They tried to put me in the back of a police car to give me a ticket.
00:44:01.840
They put Efron in handcuffs just to give him a failure to wear a mask covering.
00:44:10.840
It would be like if you were parking in a no parking zone and arrested and thrown in the back of a police car.
00:44:19.840
But at the same time, I'm very encouraged by our people.
00:44:24.840
And I'm also encouraged by the fact that Quebec, where we're not normally strong, we don't speak French.
00:44:31.840
We don't, I mean, Yankee does some journalism from Montreal, but we haven't had a force on the ground.
00:44:38.840
But even in the last few weeks, thousands, tens of thousands, I don't know, maybe hundreds of thousands of people in Quebec have turned to Rebel News for our side of the story.
00:44:49.840
And you were mentioning to me that people came up to you.
00:44:55.840
We were marching with the protest on the sidewalk, recording, collecting B-roll.
00:44:59.840
And people would come in and like four, five, six people at times, and they would give us fifth bombs and they would say some of them don't even know English.
00:45:08.840
And when I got my first ticket, two ladies came up to us and they took selfies with me with the ticket.
00:45:17.840
And they said, oh, we love Rebel News. And they weren't even speaking proper English. They were Quebecers.
00:45:24.840
So, and when we first went there, we didn't have any, nobody knows us in the march.
00:45:30.840
So nobody came up to us and, hey, Rebel News. But this week, it was different.
00:45:35.840
It's very interesting. It's very encouraging. We're going to keep doing what we do.
00:45:43.840
I think we're going to take a larger action against the police.
00:45:48.840
It's one thing to fight the tickets. That's a defensive move.
00:45:51.840
But I think we have to proactively push back on the police in some legal manner because handcuffing, arresting, harassing,
00:46:02.840
I find it weird the way they call us Jew media or whatever.
00:46:06.840
And again, I don't know if that's, I don't quite understand that. I think it's weird.
00:46:10.840
I want to learn more about that. I think we have to proactively push back to the police.
00:46:14.840
I think we've done that here in Toronto. You, Mocha, Lincoln were also assaulted in Toronto.
00:46:21.840
We're suing 11 police officers in Toronto. And I'm not afraid to do that in Montreal too, because it's the rule of law.
00:46:29.840
As I always say, if these policemen don't understand civil liberties and the rule of law and the limits on their power, maybe they need a judge to tell them.
00:46:40.840
And I will, I don't know what other media do. Sounds like other media are compliant.
00:46:46.840
But as long as we have breath in us, we will push back against this tyranny.
00:46:53.840
And you used some tough language at the beginning of the show. I think you used the word thugs.
00:46:57.840
I understand that because if some, if someone has a gun and a badge, but they abuse those things.
00:47:04.840
If they step outside their boundaries within, if they think they're beyond or above the law, then they are no longer an officer of the law in my eyes.
00:47:15.840
I think, I think that's a very important point. The police, more than anyone else, have to follow the law, especially if they want the public's respect and support.
00:47:24.840
And I say this as a lifelong supporter of police. I didn't grow up in Istanbul where the police were like a quasi police state.
00:47:32.840
I grew up in Alberta. Everyone loved and respected police.
00:47:35.840
My childhood, my childhood dream was to become a police officer, but that took a 180 degree turn now.
00:47:42.840
Isn't that interesting? Well, Mocha, congratulations to you on your journalism.
00:47:46.840
You have a new title, chief videographer. I think it's true. So keep up the great work. We've got your back.
00:47:54.840
There's a lot of team spirit here supporting your work. I think it's very important.
00:48:00.840
And maybe I might join you one of these days out in Montreal. I love that city.
00:48:06.840
A lot of the fun parts of it are closed, the restaurants, the bars. It's a lively city. I'm sure it still has life.
00:48:12.840
Well, maybe I'll go out there and take a look myself.
00:48:16.840
Yeah, it would be wonderful to go there as a team.
00:48:18.840
Right on. There you have it. Mocha Beziergen, our chief videographer, who has been leading the charge with our team,
00:48:24.840
Efron and Lincoln and Sid and David and others. And I promise you, we'll keep it up. Stay with us more ahead.
00:48:30.840
On the show last night, Isabel writes, the people celebrating this are the same ones who bemoaned Trump as a fascist dictator, American or not, for four years.
00:48:53.840
Never have I seen such massive acceptance of a police state. It's incredible.
00:48:58.840
And I, you know, when I grew up in a Jewish school and the teachers, when I was in grade one, two, three kind of thing, the teacher and the principal were actually Holocaust survivors.
00:49:09.840
They met in the concentration camp. They came to Canada. It was the Eichlers. And so we learned about the Holocaust. This is in the 70s.
00:49:17.840
So it was only 30 years before. And I thought, how could that possibly happen? How could people have gone along with it?
00:49:24.840
How could the Jews have not seen it coming? Why didn't they flee? How could other people? Like, I just kept saying, how, how, how?
00:49:30.840
It almost seemed like an impossible freak accident, like a black swan moment.
00:49:36.840
And, but I kept thinking, really, why didn't the Jews leave? Because, you know, 1933, 1935, the Nuremberg laws, 37, 38, you know, Reichstag fire, the Kristallnacht, all these things.
00:49:49.840
And yet the Jews stayed. Some left. But why did most stay?
00:49:56.840
Because they thought, oh, it's fine. Oh, it's fine. It'll get better. No, we can.
00:50:01.840
And I, and I'm not comparing the pandemic to a Holocaust, but I'm comparing how we cope and how we minimize and how we say, no, this is fine. No, it's fine.
00:50:13.840
Sure, it's a diminution of our freedoms, but we can handle it.
00:50:18.840
I mean, I, I never thought I could understand how people could abide it and obey it and submit to it.
00:50:30.840
And I also can understand how some people are drawn to an authoritarian police state who love being snitches and turning in others.
00:50:39.840
I did not understand that as a child learning about the Holocaust.
00:50:48.840
The government is getting a lot closer to total control.
00:50:51.840
You know, I couldn't believe it when I learned that the Blue Jays baseball team in Toronto, they're moving to Florida.
00:51:00.840
The Toronto Blue Jays are now the Florida Blue Jays.
00:51:03.840
I don't know if they're changing. They're just going to play down there.
00:51:11.840
Even states like New York and California are freeing up.
