Megan and Harry, they twist the knife that is hanging out of Harry's grandma's back.
00:00:38.720
It's March 8th. I'm Kian Bextie, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:44.440
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:48.180
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:52.240
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:05.480
You might have had better things to do, like cleaning your gutters.
00:01:10.560
What went down wasn't anything outside of what was predicted by anyone who has seen how Meghan Markle has been operating over the past couple of years.
00:01:19.500
To summarize, Meghan announced that the troubles all began when it was made clear that her soon-to-be-born son wasn't going to be the center of attention.
00:01:29.780
The center of the monarchy and wasn't going to be granted the title of prince.
00:01:34.900
Of course, the queen is the only one with that final say on titles, and the implication that Meghan Markle made was clear.
00:01:42.540
She was trying to imply that the queen was somehow a racist.
00:01:47.120
In the few short minutes, Meghan Markle managed to imply that Queen Elizabeth was a black baby-hating racist.
00:01:53.780
In reality, the son of a low-ranking member of the royal family doesn't get to be a prince.
00:02:01.200
Meghan didn't get what she wanted, though, so she decided to try and blow it all up.
00:02:06.060
I gotta say, did he call it, or did he call it?
00:02:09.540
I'm not a fan of hers, and I would say this, and she probably has heard that, but I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because he's going to need it.
00:02:28.320
Before she tried to blow up the royal family, she did the same thing to her own family.
00:02:35.340
It's part of her character, and you know what they say about leopards and their spots.
00:02:40.360
Listen to what Meghan Markle's sister had to say about her.
00:02:43.640
In an interview with The Sun, Samantha revealed,
00:02:52.360
The royal family would be appalled by what she's done to her own family.
00:02:56.000
But the interview that Markle arranged with her friend Oprah wasn't just a few hours of her dunking on the queen and the royal family and basically all of Britain.
00:03:09.760
No, I mean, no, but even down, sorry, but even down to, like, the national anthem.
00:03:17.020
That's me late at night Googling, what's the national, I've got to learn this.
00:03:27.320
We were doing the training behind the scenes because I just wanted to make them proud.
00:03:31.080
Did you see that part where Harry remembered his place?
00:03:41.700
She actually admitted on primetime TV that she had trouble Googling the national anthem of the country that she voluntarily joined.
00:03:50.660
Like, that was somehow a chore or a task for her.
00:03:54.040
Meghan, of course, was never really in this project or in the royal family to be part of the family.
00:04:00.320
It was all a ladder for her, ladder climbing, at the expense of the people who have dedicated their lives to public service.
00:04:08.980
Her Majesty the Queen and pretty much everyone else in the royal family.
00:04:12.560
Seriously, imagine being a part of the royal family.
00:04:19.820
You spend nearly a century fighting for your people, holding your country together, and the Commonwealth, I might add, together during World War II.
00:04:31.620
Nothing but steadfast duty from real members of the firm, as they call the royal family.
00:04:38.200
That's just something that Meghan can't do, and perhaps that's why record numbers of her staff quit some of the most prestigious jobs in the world to get away from this seditious newcomer.
00:04:50.300
It's not often that people with top positions in the royal household give up their posts, so when three walk out in quick succession, rumors are inevitable.
00:04:58.540
In May 2019, it was revealed that Meghan Markle's right-hand woman, Amy Pickerel, was leaving, making her the third member of the Duchess's staff to quit within a matter of months.
00:05:11.440
It's very sad for her colleagues, as she is a really popular member of staff.
00:05:16.020
Pickerel was expected to stay on and succeed Markle's private secretary, Samantha Cohen, who, after 17 years with the royal family, also left her post.
00:05:24.780
Markle's personal assistant also quit her job, and caused a stir when she bolted less than six months after Meghan and Harry's wedding.
00:05:32.300
Apparently, Meghan's personal assistant couldn't handle the stress of the job, as a source told The Mirror,
00:05:37.780
she put up with quite a lot. Meghan put a lot of demands on her, and it ended up with her in tears.
00:05:45.880
It's important to remember that the reason Meg and Harry quit the royal family was because they wanted privacy, and they just couldn't get that in London.
00:05:54.500
They blamed the media. They blamed everyone but themselves, so they fled to North America.
00:05:59.020
Of course, they didn't start out living in the United States or in California.
00:06:03.040
They made a pit stop in Canada, and that's where they siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars off the taxpayer to cover their massive security bill.
00:06:12.440
I actually went to their home in Victoria, British Columbia, to see exactly what might be causing the couple to not be able to afford their own security.
00:06:20.160
And, well, wouldn't you know, the property was absolutely gorgeous, despite them having no income.
00:06:25.340
And it was located on the coast of one of the most exclusive parts of Vancouver Island, one of the most exclusive parts of Canada.
00:06:32.640
But it turned out they weren't even there when I showed up. They were already scoping out their new digs in California.
00:06:40.120
Check out the place that they're actually living, by the way.
00:06:42.460
Yes, that is a playground on the left, and yes, this place does have a tennis court.
00:06:45.980
How did they celebrate this newfound privacy across the pond, by the way?
00:06:50.060
Well, of course, Meghan, she invited Oprah to come to their home so that she could air her dirty laundry.
00:06:55.780
I don't recommend you actually watch this train wreck, because watching any amount of paint dry is more worth your while.
00:07:02.100
The interview kicks off with Meghan front and center.
00:07:07.280
You see, Harry joins in a little bit afterwards, but only after Markle lets the world know that this is really her show.
00:07:15.020
Harry, of course, has never been able to say no to Meghan.
00:07:19.680
If anyone needs help in that family, it's Harry.
00:07:23.660
Someone close to him should really refer him to a specialist in supporting people married to toxic narcissists like Meghan Markle is.
00:07:36.480
You see, hard work, duty, service, humility, sacrifice.
00:07:47.120
Remember that time that Harry actually asked the CEO of Disney
00:08:22.260
and it's time to move on to another, probably actually worse version of cringe.
00:08:27.180
The Trudeau government's denial of a genocide, despite the world finally waking up to China
00:08:33.480
and the menace that they are and the genocide that they are conducting.
00:08:36.940
Just a few days ago, Justin Trudeau's government abstained from a vote that was held in Canada's parliament
00:08:42.620
that ended up decisively declaring a genocide in China.
00:08:46.140
Why did Justin Trudeau not partake in that vote?
00:08:50.780
Parliaments in Europe actually followed suit after Canada,
00:08:53.740
but for some reason, Trudeau and all of his cabinet ministers decided to ignore the vote.
00:09:00.680
while parliament acknowledged systematic ethnic cleansing across the Pacific.
00:09:06.580
We're going to have one of my favorite independent journalists,
00:09:09.400
Spencer Fernando, on the show to talk about that train wreck.
00:09:14.080
And now we have Spencer Fernando joining us from his publication, SpencerFernando.com.
00:09:31.580
Thanks so much for joining us, Spencer. How are you doing?
00:09:36.300
We're talking today about Justin Trudeau's cowardly abstention from the Uyghur genocide vote
00:09:45.000
that happened in parliament just a few days ago.
00:09:47.400
Now, what was really interesting about this is that his caucus actually almost turned on him,
00:09:52.860
I might say, and I want to know what you think about that.
00:09:55.460
His caucus actually voted in favor of this motion,
00:10:00.640
including Mark Garneau, who abstained on behalf of the government of Canada,
00:10:05.760
which isn't something that actually happens in Westminster parliaments.
00:10:09.720
What do you think about Justin Trudeau's caucus actually voting in favor of this motion?
00:10:14.740
Yeah, well, I think, you know, for some time it's been kind of disturbing
00:10:21.720
and I think it got to the point where it was even too much for his own party.
00:10:25.100
I mean, you know, many people, you can criticize Trudeau, you know, all you want,
00:10:28.560
but many people in the Liberal Party, I think they see themselves as supporters of human rights
00:10:32.380
and as, you know, people who, you know, have good morals when it comes to, you know,
00:10:39.080
And I think it just got too much for even them to, you know,
00:10:41.400
constantly be either defending China or kind of being soft on China.
00:10:47.180
You know, I would imagine behind the scenes that he and the cabinet were trying to convince them
00:10:51.260
to vote, to just all abstain or vote against it.
00:10:55.260
But I think, you know, they probably sent the message, said,
00:10:57.220
look, you know, we can't go back to our constituents and say that we're not
00:11:03.780
Yeah, they got to a point where even they couldn't defend Trudeau's position on China.
00:11:09.300
And in your article, you actually mentioned a survey that said 59% of Canadians
00:11:15.420
And that translates to a vast majority of Canadians that are really opposed to Justin Trudeau's
00:11:24.220
I think across the board, I think Canadians are starting to get tired of this government
00:11:28.560
apologizing for China time and time again, acting like, you know, they have the Michael's
00:11:33.300
best interests at heart when, you know, more facts come out every day that Justin Trudeau's
00:11:40.820
They don't really have any leverage at all from, you know, his former minister of foreign affairs
00:11:45.060
having a massive mortgage taken out with the Bank of China.
00:11:49.220
Now, you mentioned that the MPs wouldn't be able to go back to their constituents.
00:11:53.700
Do you think that this is going to have, this is going to translate into a loss of seats for
00:11:58.700
Trudeau should an election be called here pretty shortly, as many people predict?
00:12:03.480
Yeah, well, I mean, the polls don't show that happening.
00:12:08.120
The problem the Conservatives have is, as unpopular as Trudeau may be right now, it looks like
00:12:12.900
they're less popular, and Aaron O'Toole is not resonating.
00:12:15.920
And, you know, I think I've seen, you know, a lot of people, including myself, talking about it.
00:12:20.120
You know, they did just hire someone who had worked for Huawei, and that's the kind of stuff
00:12:24.760
that undermines your anti-China, anti-Huawei messaging.
00:12:28.800
Yeah, what could Aaron O'Toole do to shift this?
00:12:34.840
He seems like he's almost dug himself into a bit of a hole.
00:12:38.060
Yeah, it's such an odd move, because that's one area where they had, I would say, the
00:12:44.580
total moral and political high ground over the liberals was on China.
00:12:48.640
I mean, you just get liberal MPs to basically vote against Trudeau, against what Trudeau
00:12:54.500
wanted, kind of embarrassing him and the liberal party.
00:12:57.960
And then after, you know, months of anti-Huawei, anti-China rhetoric, then you go and hire someone
00:13:04.560
I'm sure he's not a bad guy, you know, it's fine, but just messing up your own messaging
00:13:10.140
that way, and then expecting your own party supporters to go and be like, oh, well, it's
00:13:15.340
totally different when the conservatives hire someone from there than if the liberals did.
00:13:19.000
And I mean, it's just embarrassing to make that argument.
00:13:21.600
So, yeah, I'm very surprised that they would do that to themselves.
00:13:24.800
It seems frustrating to me, watching from the outside, how the Canadian government operates.
00:13:29.240
It seems almost like every lobby and interest group and even foreign government seems to
00:13:33.420
be able to, you know, run roughshod over the government and the opposition for whatever
00:13:39.200
issue it is, whether it's the dairy lobby or China.
00:13:42.540
Organizations that just don't have, I think, the interests of Canadians at heart are able
00:13:47.600
to so easily manipulate and sort of have the pseudo control over members of our government
00:13:53.920
and members of the opposition, whether it was Andrew Scheer, Justin Trudeau, or Aaron
00:13:58.660
My point being that this individual that he actually just hired, Aaron O'Toole, was a
00:14:03.120
former employee of not just Huawei, but also Andrew Scheer.
00:14:07.520
Why do you think this runs so thoroughly through not just the Conservative Party, but the Canadian
00:14:15.440
Sometimes I wonder if it's just there's not enough people who really want to go into government.
00:14:18.980
So you kind of, you see just a recycling of the same people, you know, they go work for
00:14:23.560
the government and then their government experience gets them hired by corporations who want to
00:14:28.360
And then they do a cent there and then they go back and they work for the government again,
00:14:35.140
But I think the problem is just the messaging on this one, right?
00:14:38.120
It's just, you know, you make being against China and against Huawei your whole image.
00:14:44.500
I mean, Aaron O'Toole said that China's committing industrial espionage.
00:14:51.320
And then you go and hire somebody who worked for them.
00:14:54.520
And what, you expect people to just ignore that or pretend that didn't happen.
00:14:59.920
And this is the kind of thing that demoralizes people.
00:15:02.860
And that's the last thing that Conservatives can afford if you look at their poll numbers.
00:15:07.440
I've seen many people who are tired of, I don't know if I'd call this a scandal, but they're
00:15:15.200
just tired of being demoralized time and time again.
00:15:21.600
I really just have no idea what Aaron O'Toole is going to be able to do to sort of regain
00:15:25.940
this credibility because I think that China would have been the issue to fight the next
00:15:32.860
I think that if Aaron O'Toole kept his powder dry and his hands clean, he would have had
00:15:38.280
that credibility to fight on a ballot issue of international significance.
00:15:43.720
Do you think that he's going to be able to turn this around?
00:15:49.000
I think the problem for them is this was an issue where they had a clear advantage and
00:15:55.560
So the Liberals, they can't really win on China because I think public perception is pretty
00:16:02.140
But they can certainly muddy the waters a bit and say, hey, we may not be great on China,
00:16:08.420
And they did sign that Foreign Investor Protection Agreement that locked us in for, what, 25 years
00:16:12.660
with a deal with China that's not so good for Canada.
00:16:14.800
So they can muddy the waters a bit and then shift the conversation in another direction.
00:16:19.700
So the Conservatives may have taken a clear win on this issue and made it a little bit
00:16:26.000
I want to ask you from the international perspective how this looks, how Canada looks to the international
00:16:35.040
You know, just days after the Canadian Parliament approved this motion to call it a genocide,
00:16:40.720
to call it what it is because that is what it is.
00:16:42.600
The Dutch Parliament, actually, in Europe did the same thing.
00:16:46.300
And it seems like this is sort of a tipping point, I think, for global politics.
00:16:50.820
Do you think that people are looking at Justin Trudeau's government as sort of a cowardly
00:16:55.060
institution that isn't able to even admit to the most basic facts of what's going on in
00:17:02.420
Yeah, I think what their allies would be seeing is unreliable, right?
00:17:05.520
I mean, you look at the Five Eyes, for example, there's intelligence sharing on threats.
00:17:10.440
You know, China's building up their navy massively.
00:17:14.200
Other countries in the region, democratic countries, are trying to build up their militaries
00:17:20.340
I mean, I'm not even going to get into the issues with our military and procurement and
00:17:24.420
But I think our allies would just look at Canada and say, you know, we seem naive and
00:17:28.680
unserious and not really a trusted partner right now.
00:17:32.940
Well, thank you so much, Mr. Fernando, for coming on the Ezra Levant Show today.
00:17:42.700
You can see all of his work at spencerfernando.com.
00:18:05.140
He's the Christian pastor who was jailed for quite literally preaching to the choir.
00:18:09.920
Pastor James Coates is in a maximum security prison because the government of Alberta refuses
00:18:15.120
to bend the knee to basic decency, to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, to the rights of
00:18:22.400
And this is Jason Kenney's government, someone who's historically supported, or at least said
00:18:27.820
Pastor James Coates is in maximum security prison for hosting a service at his church
00:18:34.980
He's sitting alongside predators, rapists, murderers, all because he's a Christian pastor
00:18:41.440
during a pandemic who refused to close down his church.
00:18:46.260
Our colleague Sheila Gunn-Reed was on location at the Grace Life Church near Edmonton this
00:18:51.100
weekend reporting on this story, and she has an update for you.
00:18:55.120
Sheila Gunn-Reed for Rebel News, and I'm just wrapping up my fourth week here attending Sunday
00:18:58.680
services at Grace Life Church west of Edmonton.
00:19:01.900
Now, for those of you who have been following along, you already know Grace Life Pastor James
00:19:05.720
Coates has been held as a prisoner of conscience in provincial custody since February 16th
00:19:12.260
when he turned himself in for breaking a provincial health order.
00:19:14.920
Now, that order was to limit his church to 15% of fire code capacity and force the congregation
00:19:23.100
As it sits right now, Pastor Coates will remain in the maximum security Edmonton Remand Centre
00:19:32.060
You see, Pastor Coates technically does qualify for bail, but he cannot comply in good conscience
00:19:39.220
with the bail conditions that would limit his church service to 15% of fire code capacity
00:19:47.880
Pastor Coates cannot agree to those bail conditions, so he languishes behind bars.
00:19:53.300
Agreeing to those conditions would violate his faith and the faith of his entire congregation.
00:19:58.360
Now, last Friday, an appeal of those bail conditions was held and then denied.
00:20:04.660
At that bail hearing, Crown Prosecutor Karen Thorsgood remained anonymous, saying that she
00:20:10.340
was simply the public health prosecutor and that she feared for her own safety.
00:20:17.500
Now, once again, I showed up at the church at 5 in the morning on the suspicion that the
00:20:22.860
I suspected this because one of the reasons Crown Prosecutor Karen Thorsgood is insisting
00:20:29.140
on those onerous anti-Christian bail conditions is that she said, James Coates, once he is
00:20:34.680
released, will return to preach to a capacity crowd here.
00:20:40.620
Well, the church is at capacity and has been consistently at capacity since the middle of
00:20:48.660
So the only way to stop this church from being at capacity would be to prevent people from
00:20:56.140
But I'm happy to say my early morning stakeout was fruitless once again.
00:21:01.340
Associate Pastor Jake Spenst was again on the pulpit.
00:21:08.920
Their bloodlust for seeing Christians taken away in handcuffs has not been satiated.
00:21:14.740
The media showed up once again filming from the ditch.
00:21:20.560
And I did not see a lot of social distancing, if you care about that sort of thing, and I
00:21:26.620
Also, in a slight return to normalcy, instead of seven police cruisers, there were only two
00:21:33.120
And those police cruisers left shortly after 10 a.m.
00:21:36.740
as opposed to doing what they normally do and that staying for the duration of the day.
00:21:44.160
And this continues to be not a spectacle, but absolutely normal worship services in the
00:21:53.220
I'm no longer filming inside the church because this is their church.
00:21:58.240
And they have a right to worship without intrusion by journalists like me or the government for
00:22:04.660
For Rebel News here at Grace Life Church west of Edmonton, where on Tuesday, Pastor Coates
00:22:11.140
will tick over three weeks in provincial custody for the crime of saying Christian worship service.
00:22:19.560
Every day, every hour, every second that Pastor James Coates is in jail is a disgrace.
00:22:25.320
It's an affront to our Constitution, to our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and to people
00:22:29.400
all around the world who worship God or practice religion in any capacity.
00:22:37.340
And that wraps it up for us here on the Ezra Levant Show from our studio in Calgary.
00:22:43.520
And rather than ending it off as Ezra does by saying, keep fighting for freedom, I'll simply
