Summary

Justin Trudeau calls an election on 9/11, and obstructs an RCMP investigation. It's a day to celebrate him, not to remember the people who died on that day. He doesn't want to hurt the feelings of terrorists by remembering the people they've murdered. He wants to bask in the glory of his own selflessness.

00:00:00.000 Hey Rebels, I hope you enjoyed today's show.
00:00:02.120 I enjoyed recording it.
00:00:03.560 It's basically our election kickoff show.
00:00:06.640 I'll give you my thoughts on the day,
00:00:08.800 on how Trudeau doesn't really give a damn about 9-11.
00:00:11.920 I mean, come on, that day's about him, him, him.
00:00:14.580 And I talk about the front page of the Globe and Mail today
00:00:16.580 and how Trudeau's got that all wrapped up.
00:00:18.500 I wish you could see it though,
00:00:19.960 because I show a clip about four times
00:00:21.660 of Justin Trudeau hugging and kissing
00:00:23.860 his hand-picked commissioner of the RCMP.
00:00:27.560 And I wish you could see that,
00:00:28.700 because it shows that this thing's all stitched up.

00:00:40.500 I really want you to see that picture
00:00:42.140 of Trudeau hugging and kissing Brenda Luckey,
00:00:45.240 the fortunately named commissioner of the RCMP.
00:00:48.420 She'll never charge him.
00:00:49.620 I think she thinks maybe she can be his girlfriend.
00:00:52.420 I don't know, it looks, I mean,
00:00:53.720 when was the last time you hugged or kissed your boss?

00:01:05.280 All right, here's today's podcast.
00:01:09.140 You're listening to a Rebel Media podcast.
00:01:12.400 Tonight, instead of remembering the day,
00:01:14.580 Justin Trudeau calls an election on 9-11.
00:01:17.380 Oh, and he's obstructing an RCMP investigation.
00:01:20.820 It's September 11th,
00:01:21.720 and you're watching the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:23.340 Why should others go to jail
00:01:26.960 when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:29.160 There's 8,500 customers here,
00:01:31.460 and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:33.220 The only thing I have to say to the government
00:01:35.160 about why I publish it
00:01:36.760 is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:39.100 It's the anniversary of 9-11,
00:01:46.880 the worst catastrophe of my generation.
00:01:50.120 Thousands murdered in the name of Islam.
00:01:52.900 18 years later,
00:01:53.720 America is still fighting a war in Afghanistan
00:01:55.720 where thousands more have died.
00:01:57.980 Of course, the New York Times perfectly summed up
00:02:01.100 the liberal whitewash of that event.
00:02:02.720 They said 9-11 was when airplanes took aim
00:02:07.200 at the World Trade Center.
00:02:09.040 You know, those pesky airplanes.
00:02:10.520 They'll take aim.
00:02:12.200 Nothing new with Islam, you see.
00:02:14.280 The 2,000 people didn't just die.
00:02:16.420 They were killed.
00:02:17.000 And actually, to be precise,
00:02:19.120 it was 2,977 people killed that day,
00:02:23.060 including those on the planes.
00:02:24.780 If you're rounding, you'd say 3,000, not 2,000.
00:02:28.880 But at least the New York Times mentioned it at all.
00:02:32.300 Trudeau thought so little of 9-11
00:02:33.820 that he selected it as the date to call his election
00:02:37.660 to make the day about him, him, him,
00:02:40.400 a day to celebrate him,
00:02:42.160 a day to buy billboards and posters and TV ads
00:02:44.700 with his face on it, smirking at you.
00:02:46.760 It's a celebration day for him.
00:02:49.900 No surprise.
00:02:50.720 You know that when there was that brief overlap
00:02:52.860 when Justin Trudeau won the 2015 election,
00:02:55.780 but before he was sworn in,
00:02:57.620 so he was the prime minister-designate,
00:03:00.200 but Stephen Harper was the actual prime minister.
00:03:03.940 Well, it was the anniversary
00:03:04.780 of Corporal Nathan Cirillo's murder.
00:03:06.800 He was the Canadian soldier
00:03:07.860 who was standing guard at the National War Memorial
00:03:10.280 when an ISIS terrorist walked up to him
00:03:13.500 and murdered him,
00:03:14.260 shooting him at point-blank range
00:03:15.500 before bursting into Parliament
00:03:17.160 in the hail of gunfire.
00:03:18.000 So it was October,
00:03:18.980 and it was the anniversary of Cirillo's murder.
00:03:21.140 So Harper was laying a wreath,
00:03:22.300 and Trudeau thought,
00:03:22.980 well, I guess I better attend too,
00:03:24.600 since I don't want Harper to get all the photo ops.
00:03:27.440 So you can be sure that was the last time
00:03:30.160 Trudeau laid a wreath for Cirillo.
00:03:32.080 It's not that he doesn't care.
00:03:34.720 He actually cares in reverse.
00:03:36.240 He doesn't want to hurt the feelings
00:03:37.760 of ISIS terrorists anywhere
00:03:38.980 by remembering the people they've murdered.
00:03:41.260 That's what he cares about.
00:03:43.080 It's the same reason he gave $10.5 million to Omar Carter.
00:03:45.740 Oh, Trudeau will bask in the credit
00:03:47.340 of other people's selflessness on 9-11.
00:03:50.300 You know that many passenger planes were diverted
00:03:52.200 from the U.S. to Newfoundland on 9-11
00:03:54.220 for security reasons.
00:03:55.480 And so many Newfoundlanders
00:03:56.620 took those passengers into their homes
00:03:58.200 out of friendship and loyalty.
00:04:00.280 It was a beautiful story, a Canadian story,
00:04:02.300 really a Newfoundland story, to be accurate.
00:04:04.520 And there's a Broadway musical about it,
00:04:06.060 which is good.
00:04:07.020 But Trudeau can't get enough of that.
00:04:09.860 The play, he co-opted the play.
00:04:11.520 You saw him there standing in front of the play.
00:04:13.400 He made it about him, him, him.
00:04:15.100 He actually bought tickets
00:04:16.640 for every U.N. ambassador in New York,
00:04:18.920 all the dictatorships,
00:04:20.300 and invited them to the play as his guest,
00:04:22.420 as if he were the big shot,
00:04:24.180 as opposed to the taxpayers who footed the bill.
00:04:27.020 Most of those ambassadors didn't show up, by the way.
00:04:31.140 I mean, they didn't care.
00:04:32.280 They probably supported the terrorists.
00:04:34.520 They were busy people
00:04:35.520 with many invitations each evening.
00:04:37.760 Not just the childish prime minister
00:04:39.440 of a small country
00:04:40.160 who's obviously just looking for photo ops.
00:04:42.320 No one actually came that night.
00:04:45.540 But Memoianus Trudeau spent more time
00:04:47.400 talking about himself at Come From Away,
00:04:50.680 a musical about 9-11,
00:04:52.920 than he actually does at any 9-11 commemoration.
00:04:56.000 He just put out a tweet today.
00:04:58.300 He made this tweet,
00:04:59.500 or his staff did.
00:05:00.460 Whatevs.
00:05:01.300 And that's it.
00:05:01.940 Let's get that boring stuff out of the way.
00:05:04.360 Today's about me.
00:05:05.540 So on to the election he goes.
00:05:08.000 And look at the Globe and Mail today.
00:05:10.100 Ottawa blocks RCMP on SNC Inquiry.
00:05:13.460 Huge front page story.
00:05:15.940 And you see those three little blurbs at the top there?
00:05:18.280 Mounties investigating possible obstruction of justice,
00:05:21.040 Source says.
00:05:22.580 Government cites cabinet confidentiality,
00:05:24.400 denies access to witnesses and documents.
00:05:27.060 Probe to be frozen during election campaign
00:05:29.120 under RCMP internal guidelines.
00:05:32.020 And then right at the bottom there's a caption,
00:05:33.680 I don't know if you can see it,
00:05:34.440 it says the Prime Minister's office says
00:05:37.880 it had no role in the decision by the Privy Council Clerk
00:05:40.680 to prevent individuals from talking with the RCMP
00:05:43.000 about the SNC-Lavalin affair.
00:05:46.980 Now, I just really showed you the headlines there,
00:05:49.560 and those are all the facts you need right there.
00:05:51.360 I don't even need to read the story to you.
00:05:53.020 You've got it now.
00:05:53.780 The RCMP says,
00:05:55.020 well, shucks,
00:05:56.300 we can't investigate the obstruction of justice
00:05:58.900 by Justin Trudeau because,
00:06:01.460 well, he's obstructing our investigation
00:06:03.680 into obstruction,
00:06:04.760 so what can you do?
00:06:07.120 Oh, well, better throw in the towel
00:06:09.660 because the election is here
00:06:12.300 and we sure wouldn't want to embarrass a liberal.
00:06:15.180 Is that a rule?
00:06:17.540 The RCMP made a huge prosecution
00:06:20.100 out of Conservative Senator Mike Duffy
00:06:22.400 over his expense account,
00:06:24.340 which was paid back
00:06:25.740 by the Conservative Chief of Staff,
00:06:27.240 Nigel Wright, by the way.
00:06:28.120 And by the way,
00:06:30.240 it was all permitted
00:06:30.820 under the Senate's vague expensing rules,
00:06:32.840 and in the end,
00:06:34.240 Duffy was acquitted.
00:06:35.060 He was acquitted.
00:06:36.000 So the RCMP didn't seem to have a problem
00:06:37.920 with a year-long fishing expedition
00:06:39.800 when nothing was at stake.
00:06:40.980 Nigel Wright paid the money back
00:06:42.620 that was in question,
00:06:43.340 even though in the end,
00:06:44.020 the law was broken,
00:06:45.380 and it was over 90 grand in travel expenses,
00:06:47.560 but firing the Attorney General
00:06:49.780 as Justin Trudeau did
00:06:50.640 because she wouldn't cave in
00:06:51.700 to a massive campaign
00:06:53.460 of illegal pressure
00:06:54.300 from Trudeau and his cronies
00:06:55.620 to call off a criminal prosecution
00:06:57.640 of a corrupt company
00:06:58.560 known for bribing politicians
00:07:00.360 in Canada and around the world
00:07:01.540 and then obstructing
00:07:02.800 the investigation in that scandal.
00:07:05.080 Yeah, welcome to the Libranos.
00:07:07.360 Even more corrupt
00:07:08.500 than Christian and Paul Martin liberals
00:07:10.200 if you can even think that's possible.
00:07:13.100 You know my new book comes out today?
00:07:15.260 It's called The Libranos,
00:07:16.880 What the Media Won't Tell You
00:07:17.880 About Justin Trudeau's Corruption.
00:07:20.120 I'll be honest,
00:07:20.700 months ago when we were deciding
00:07:21.840 what focus to take,
00:07:22.900 I thought,
00:07:23.460 is corruption really the main thing
00:07:25.540 or is it more his incompetence
00:07:27.420 or is it how Trudeau's so fake?
00:07:29.680 He's an imposter.
00:07:30.560 He's a fake feminist, for example.
00:07:32.480 We chose corruption,
00:07:33.440 the Libranos theme,
00:07:34.800 and holy cow,
00:07:36.060 were we ever right.
00:07:37.300 But back to that front page
00:07:39.280 of the Globe for a moment.
00:07:40.420 Ottawa blocks RCMP.
00:07:42.940 That was the big headline.
00:07:43.960 Well, not really.
00:07:45.100 I mean, I've lived in Ottawa.
00:07:46.360 It's a pleasant city
00:07:47.200 of about a million people
00:07:48.220 on the Ottawa River
00:07:49.540 just across from Quebec.
00:07:50.700 Nice place,
00:07:51.260 lots of museums,
00:07:52.600 lots of bureaucrats,
00:07:53.800 easy living,
00:07:54.580 easy living.
00:07:56.540 Ottawa didn't block anything.
00:07:58.260 Why are you blaming the city?
00:08:00.080 The city didn't blame anything.
00:08:01.580 Why are you blaming them?
00:08:04.240 Justin Trudeau
00:08:05.200 blocked the RCMP,
00:08:07.420 not Ottawa.
00:08:08.820 Now, sure,
00:08:09.340 they quoted the Prime Minister's office
00:08:10.720 as saying
00:08:11.400 that the Clerk of the Privy Council
00:08:13.040 blocked the RCMP.
00:08:14.200 Well, he's just a staffer
00:08:16.220 who reports to Trudeau.
00:08:18.680 He's an assistant.
00:08:20.900 Handpicked by Trudeau himself.
00:08:22.260 I wouldn't even say his name.
00:08:23.220 He's so inconsequential.
00:08:24.280 It would be like saying,
00:08:25.580 Justin Trudeau's office receptionist
00:08:27.540 blocked the RCMP
00:08:28.660 and wouldn't let them in.
00:08:30.320 The lady who answers the phone.
00:08:33.300 Trudeau's two nannies
00:08:34.840 blocked the RCMP,
00:08:36.140 so they bravely gave up.
00:08:37.700 Hey, guys,
00:08:39.860 we really did want to exercise this,
00:08:42.520 execute this search warrant
00:08:43.540 against Trudeau,
00:08:44.120 but the nannies won't let us in,
00:08:45.800 so what can you do?
00:08:47.880 Yeah, the nannies are blocking us.
00:08:49.400 No, no, no,
00:08:50.460 Trudeau is blocking the RCMP.
00:08:52.220 Remember the last Clerk
00:08:53.000 of the Privy Council,
00:08:54.220 the disgraced Michael Wernick?
00:08:56.620 He was up to his eyeballs
00:08:57.660 in this SNC-Lavalin scandal himself.
00:08:59.880 He actually took a phone call
00:09:01.080 from SNC-Lavalin
00:09:02.760 who hired his predecessor Clerk
00:09:06.100 of the Privy Council
00:09:06.840 to lobby him.
00:09:08.700 And Michael Wernick
00:09:09.840 didn't report that lobbying
00:09:11.280 to the lobbying commissioner.
00:09:12.620 He kept it a secret
00:09:13.580 even though it was illegal.
00:09:15.800 Let me say that again.
00:09:16.760 SNC-Lavalin hired
00:09:17.940 the former Clerk
00:09:19.500 of the Privy Council
00:09:20.340 to lobby Trudeau's current Clerk
00:09:23.140 of the Privy Council,
00:09:24.240 and he did.
00:09:26.480 And Trudeau's Clerk
00:09:27.480 kept that a secret
00:09:28.480 instead of disclosing it
00:09:29.640 or reporting that
00:09:30.840 to the lobbying commissioner.
00:09:31.980 You remember that kook?
00:09:32.920 Remember him?
00:09:34.120 I worry about the rising tide
00:09:36.040 of incitements to violence.
00:09:37.700 When people use terms
00:09:39.340 like treason and traitor
00:09:40.800 in open discourse,
00:09:42.080 those are the words
00:09:43.020 that lead to assassination.
00:09:44.700 I'm worried that somebody
00:09:45.520 is going to be shot
00:09:46.200 in this country this year
00:09:47.160 during the political campaign.
00:09:49.820 What a disgraceful,
00:09:51.300 disgraceful man.
00:09:52.580 He really was a kook.
00:09:54.340 Well, the new guy
00:09:54.960 is just as much
00:09:55.760 in Trudeau's pocket,
00:09:56.700 but a little bit less
00:09:57.900 unhinged in public.
00:09:59.260 He's got some
00:09:59.860 emotional self-control.
00:10:02.320 Ottawa didn't block
00:10:04.180 the RCMP.
00:10:05.240 Trudeau's hand-picked servant
00:10:06.960 blocked it
00:10:07.820 at Trudeau's request.
00:10:09.100 We know that Trudeau
00:10:09.900 has been obstructing
00:10:10.960 this for months
00:10:11.420 because he's guilty as hell.
00:10:13.600 That is not my opinion.
00:10:14.800 That is the opinion
00:10:15.520 and conclusion
00:10:16.740 and conviction
00:10:17.460 of Mario Dion,
00:10:19.240 the ethics commissioner
00:10:20.200 and conflict of interest
00:10:21.020 commissioner.
00:10:21.520 Trudeau calls him a judge
00:10:22.500 who convicted Trudeau
00:10:24.540 of his fifth violation
00:10:26.180 of the Conflict of Interest Act
00:10:27.800 last month.
00:10:28.520 No other Canadian
00:10:29.860 prime minister
00:10:30.340 has been convicted
00:10:31.080 of breaking the law
00:10:31.700 even once in history.
00:10:33.620 Trudeau, five times now.
00:10:35.640 And yet, even Mario Dion
00:10:36.740 says he didn't know
00:10:37.720 the half of it.
00:10:39.140 In his report,
00:10:39.980 Dion said he wasn't allowed
00:10:41.700 to get to the bottom of it
00:10:42.580 because there were
00:10:43.080 nine witnesses
00:10:45.100 informed our office
00:10:46.520 that they had information
00:10:47.400 they believed to be relevant,
00:10:48.540 but that could not be disclosed
00:10:49.560 because according to them,
00:10:50.360 the information would reveal
00:10:51.180 confidence.
00:10:52.940 So Trudeau banned them
00:10:55.160 from talking to him,
00:10:56.780 ordered them not to talk
00:10:58.060 to him.
00:10:58.600 Now, Dion is a toothless tiger.
00:11:00.120 All he could do
00:11:00.800 was write about it,
00:11:01.920 which he did well,
00:11:03.060 but the RCMP,
00:11:05.020 what's their excuse?
00:11:07.000 They have the power
00:11:07.600 to get a search warrant
00:11:08.340 for any document,
00:11:09.900 to get a subpoena
00:11:10.660 for any witness.
00:11:12.400 Just because Trudeau
00:11:13.160 claims something
00:11:13.920 is subject to
00:11:14.500 cabinet confidentiality
00:11:15.560 doesn't mean that it's immune
00:11:16.920 to criminal prosecution.
00:11:18.700 To use an extreme example,
00:11:20.240 if there,
00:11:21.420 God forbid,
00:11:22.380 were a cabinet meeting
00:11:23.660 to order the murder
00:11:24.980 of someone,
00:11:26.240 I know that's extreme,
00:11:27.180 but I'm trying
00:11:27.580 to make a point.
00:11:28.780 And if that person
00:11:29.500 was then murdered,
00:11:31.280 the prime minister
00:11:32.020 couldn't block the RCMP
00:11:33.360 by saying,
00:11:34.360 gee, sorry,
00:11:35.060 it's all confidential.
00:11:36.020 You can't talk to anyone
00:11:37.160 or get any documents
00:11:38.040 because what can I say?
00:11:39.560 Cabinet privilege.
00:11:40.820 That's an absurd example,
00:11:41.980 but the essence
00:11:42.500 is the same.
00:11:43.600 Police have the right
00:11:44.500 to investigate any crime
00:11:46.140 and they have the duty
00:11:47.440 to do so also.
00:11:49.400 And if there are
00:11:50.280 genuinely confidential matters
00:11:51.560 that cannot be shown
00:11:52.680 to the public at large,
00:11:53.500 that's fine.
00:11:55.140 Those documents
00:11:55.740 can be handled
00:11:56.360 confidentially,
00:11:58.540 kept from the public.
00:11:59.760 They can be withheld
00:12:00.420 from the media.
00:12:01.580 There can be publication
00:12:02.460 bans on certain facts.
00:12:03.860 Documents can be blacked out.
00:12:05.920 But there is no reason
00:12:07.000 why police officers
00:12:07.940 with top secret clearance
00:12:09.380 cannot see any material.
00:12:11.160 They have an oath
00:12:11.720 to conduct themselves lawfully.
00:12:12.920 They're not going to
00:12:13.280 leak to the media.
00:12:14.060 That's what Trudeau does,
00:12:15.460 not the cops.
00:12:16.440 So why haven't the RCMP
00:12:19.460 moved on Trudeau
00:12:20.200 or even just moved
00:12:20.900 to interview the nine witnesses
00:12:21.920 that Mario Dion says
00:12:23.360 wanted to talk
00:12:24.220 but have been banned
00:12:25.100 from talking?
00:12:25.960 Why has the RCMP
00:12:26.900 taken this all in stride?
00:12:28.740 Even as the corrupt
00:12:30.060 Lebrano,
00:12:31.400 Gerald Butts,
00:12:32.020 has come back
00:12:32.780 to run the show.
00:12:33.740 Butts resigned
00:12:34.300 from the PMO
00:12:35.080 in disgrace this spring,
00:12:36.780 trying to be
00:12:37.380 the scapegoat of it.
00:12:38.860 That is an implicit
00:12:39.700 admission of wrongdoing.
00:12:41.420 And then he just decided,
00:12:42.780 nah, who cares?
00:12:45.200 I mean, obviously,
00:12:45.840 he's pretty, pretty confident
00:12:47.300 the cops are on a leash.
00:12:48.600 He wouldn't come back
00:12:49.460 from New York
00:12:50.360 where he was working.
00:12:51.700 Otherwise,
00:12:52.200 the whole thing
00:12:52.600 is very strange.
00:12:54.320 This isn't even
00:12:54.960 a partisan thing anymore.
00:12:56.100 Here's a letter
00:12:56.560 from five former
00:12:57.740 Canadian attorneys general
00:12:58.920 asking the RCMP
00:13:00.200 to investigate.
00:13:00.920 There are others too,
00:13:01.600 including the former
00:13:02.360 Liberal Attorney General
00:13:03.620 of Ontario.
00:13:04.280 They've all said
00:13:04.880 the RCMP
00:13:05.520 needs to investigate,
00:13:07.120 but the RCMP won't.
00:13:09.020 Why not?
00:13:09.700 Why not?
00:13:11.180 They went for a year or two
00:13:12.580 on Mike Duffy's rent expenses,
00:13:13.940 but not on this massive
00:13:15.080 deep corruption scandal
00:13:17.020 that the justice,
00:13:18.640 former Justice Minister
00:13:19.400 Jody Wilson-Raybould
00:13:20.120 herself says is a scandal.
00:13:21.520 Why not?
00:13:23.400 Well, you know why.
00:13:26.700 Or maybe you don't know.
00:13:27.600 Here's some images
00:13:28.300 that we'll explain.
00:13:30.680 That smitten lady
00:13:31.840 who's hugging
00:13:32.540 and kissing Trudeau,
00:13:34.480 that embracer,
00:13:35.660 that's Brenda Luckey,
00:13:38.020 Trudeau's hand-picked
00:13:39.120 RCMP commissioner.
00:13:40.500 Here's how the CBC
00:13:42.600 described her last year.
00:13:44.220 She's a diversity hire.
00:13:46.120 Luckey,
00:13:47.080 a 32-year veteran of the force,
00:13:48.640 has been serving
00:13:49.220 as the commanding officer
00:13:50.380 of the RCMP's
00:13:51.140 training academy
00:13:52.040 in Saskatchewan,
00:13:52.820 where she was focused
00:13:53.720 on bolstering diversity
00:13:55.320 in the ranks.
00:13:56.580 She has served
00:13:57.140 at divisions in Quebec,
00:13:58.380 Ontario, Manitoba,
00:13:59.260 Alberta, Saskatchewan,
00:14:00.540 worked with the United Nations.
00:14:02.620 Hmm.
00:14:03.080 Perfect.
00:14:04.280 Perfect.
00:14:05.000 Chef's kiss.
00:14:06.020 That's a perfect
00:14:06.900 Trudeau cop,
00:14:07.760 ain't she?
00:14:08.180 So she was appointed
00:14:09.420 to the RCMP
00:14:10.180 by Trudeau
00:14:12.120 at the same time
00:14:13.160 that the battle
00:14:13.700 between Trudeau
00:14:14.600 and Jody Wilson-Raybould
00:14:15.620 was heating up.
00:14:17.460 Trudeau appointed Luckey
00:14:19.400 to be his good luck charm.
00:14:22.660 She's the insurance policy
00:14:25.500 for him.
00:14:25.940 That's why he picked her.
00:14:27.700 That was in 2018.
00:14:31.140 But by the time
00:14:32.120 Canada Day 2019
00:14:34.140 came around,
00:14:35.380 just a few months ago,
00:14:36.880 when that hugging
00:14:37.440 and kissing happened,
00:14:39.400 everything had already
00:14:40.100 exploded in the story.
00:14:42.120 Luckey had already
00:14:42.800 received the letter
00:14:43.400 from the Attorney's General.
00:14:44.680 Trudeau was being
00:14:45.200 investigated by
00:14:45.840 the ethics commissioner.
00:14:48.000 And it was there
00:14:49.100 and then that Luckey
00:14:50.020 met Trudeau
00:14:50.700 and embraced her.
00:14:52.060 And she embraced him
00:14:53.180 right back.
00:14:54.000 And they were both
00:14:54.520 in public.
00:14:54.960 You know,
00:14:55.120 that's Trudeau's move.
00:14:56.680 Embrace a woman
00:14:57.400 in public
00:14:57.880 in a place where
00:14:58.620 if she were to recoil,
00:15:00.240 it would make a scene.
00:15:02.060 So it sort of locks her in.
00:15:03.620 He's counting on her,
00:15:04.460 not resisting.
00:15:05.220 Or maybe she was happy to.
00:15:06.360 I think Luckey loved
00:15:07.980 the embrace too.
00:15:08.820 Maybe like Rosemary Barton
00:15:10.660 of the CBC,
00:15:11.720 she loves Trudeau
00:15:13.540 and enjoys her time
00:15:15.560 with him very much
00:15:17.300 and, I don't know,
00:15:18.380 thinks of it as some sort
00:15:19.340 of platonic date
00:15:20.280 or something.
00:15:22.320 Luckey's not going to
00:15:23.340 investigate her
00:15:24.060 platonic boyfriend.
00:15:25.040 Are you kidding?
00:15:26.420 Look at that.
00:15:27.140 Just one last time.
00:15:28.880 That's the head
00:15:29.460 of the RCMP,
00:15:30.840 handpicked by Trudeau
00:15:31.940 in July.
00:15:32.640 The camera
00:15:34.940 that shot's in July,
00:15:36.020 well after the SNC-Lavalin
00:15:37.380 scandal broke.
00:15:39.400 You know,
00:15:39.740 Donald Trump
00:15:40.220 did not collude
00:15:41.000 with the Russians.
00:15:42.800 That's the former,
00:15:43.920 that's a formal result
00:15:45.140 of an inquiry
00:15:46.640 of, I don't know,
00:15:47.540 two years,
00:15:48.240 hundreds of subpoenas
00:15:49.140 issued,
00:15:50.160 hundreds of interrogations
00:15:51.440 under oath.
00:15:52.500 They found nothing
00:15:53.220 and oh,
00:15:53.580 were they hunting
00:15:54.180 a team of,
00:15:54.760 what,
00:15:55.220 two dozen lawyers,
00:15:56.100 all of them Democrats?
00:15:57.580 That's how the most
00:15:58.240 powerful man in the world
00:15:59.340 was held to account.
00:16:00.480 In Canada,
00:16:02.440 our head of the RCMP
00:16:03.700 gives our prime minister
00:16:04.740 a hug and a kiss
00:16:05.700 and his assistant,
00:16:08.160 his clerk,
00:16:08.780 his nanny
00:16:10.060 tells the RCMP,
00:16:11.360 I'm so sorry,
00:16:12.760 Trudeau can't come
00:16:13.560 to the phone right now.
00:16:14.880 He's busy.
00:16:15.680 Can we talk
00:16:16.220 after the election?
00:16:18.560 And in Canada,
00:16:19.280 the RCMP accepts it.
00:16:20.960 Obviously,
00:16:21.960 Trudeau's CBC State
00:16:23.060 broadcaster
00:16:23.640 will accept it too.
00:16:26.260 The question
00:16:27.220 we'll all find out
00:16:28.440 is,
00:16:28.920 will voters
00:16:30.620 accept this?
00:16:33.160 Stay with us
00:16:34.040 for more
00:16:34.480 on the election.
00:16:49.080 And welcome back.
00:16:50.780 Well,
00:16:51.220 joining us now
00:16:52.440 live
00:16:53.300 from Rideau Hall
00:16:54.420 where the election
00:16:55.400 writ was just
00:16:56.740 dropped
00:16:57.080 is our friend
00:16:58.120 David Menzies.
00:16:59.140 David,
00:16:59.400 nice to see you.
00:17:00.640 Is that where you are?
00:17:01.760 Are you outside
00:17:02.380 of Rideau Hall
00:17:02.960 right now?
00:17:04.420 I am indeed,
00:17:05.360 Ezra,
00:17:05.660 and I'm considerably
00:17:06.580 closer to Rideau Hall
00:17:08.380 than I was
00:17:09.580 a half hour ago
00:17:11.000 when Prime Minister Trudeau
00:17:12.500 was making his announcement
00:17:13.580 because,
00:17:14.380 as you may or may not know,
00:17:16.740 of the more than
00:17:17.900 100 media types here,
00:17:19.740 I was the only one
00:17:21.200 pinpointed
00:17:22.460 by security
00:17:23.680 and the Parliamentary
00:17:24.900 Press Gallery
00:17:25.860 person
00:17:26.340 and the
00:17:27.040 Rideau Hall
00:17:27.720 public affairs
00:17:28.920 person
00:17:29.400 and told
00:17:30.460 that I had
00:17:31.500 to go
00:17:31.960 to the
00:17:32.840 public
00:17:33.560 viewing area
00:17:34.420 which had
00:17:35.500 no video,
00:17:36.500 no audio,
00:17:37.740 and I had to
00:17:39.100 stand with
00:17:39.440 members of the public.
00:17:40.620 Not that I mind
00:17:41.200 doing that,
00:17:41.860 but it just
00:17:42.620 completely impeded
00:17:44.200 my role
00:17:45.120 in doing my job
00:17:46.340 in covering
00:17:46.820 this announcement,
00:17:48.420 which of course
00:17:49.100 I think was
00:17:50.000 the ostensible
00:17:50.560 policy reason,
00:17:52.160 i.e.
00:17:53.180 to enact
00:17:53.720 a little bit
00:17:54.160 of petty revenge
00:17:55.040 on the rebel media
00:17:56.300 for our
00:17:57.040 critical coverage
00:17:58.400 of this regime
00:17:59.500 in the last four years.
00:18:00.860 Yeah, you know,
00:18:01.740 I note that
00:18:02.780 Xinhua,
00:18:04.020 which is,
00:18:04.820 as you can tell
00:18:05.540 by the name,
00:18:06.140 a Chinese
00:18:06.840 state broadcaster,
00:18:08.800 they are fully
00:18:09.820 accredited
00:18:10.600 by the Parliamentary
00:18:11.980 Press Gallery
00:18:12.640 and Justin Trudeau.
00:18:13.880 So,
00:18:14.380 literally a
00:18:15.580 Communist Party
00:18:16.620 propaganda outlet
00:18:17.780 that is in no way
00:18:18.960 a journalist
00:18:19.900 stick outfit
00:18:20.460 at all.
00:18:21.140 In fact,
00:18:21.900 they've been
00:18:22.300 credibly accused
00:18:23.540 of being
00:18:23.940 Chinese spies.
00:18:25.980 They're good enough
00:18:26.980 for the Parliamentary
00:18:27.720 Press Gallery
00:18:28.240 and Justin Trudeau,
00:18:29.420 but not the rebel.
00:18:30.760 And you're so
00:18:31.440 accurate for pointing
00:18:32.740 out why.
00:18:33.620 It's because we
00:18:34.380 criticize Trudeau
00:18:35.480 in a way that
00:18:35.920 the other media
00:18:36.420 don't.
00:18:39.380 I think that
00:18:40.420 shows how small
00:18:42.040 Trudeau is
00:18:42.660 and how thin-skinned
00:18:43.560 he is,
00:18:44.000 but it also shows
00:18:45.120 how compliant
00:18:46.220 Canada's media
00:18:48.320 are.
00:18:48.960 And I think
00:18:49.720 it proves
00:18:50.700 my thesis
00:18:51.520 that we need
00:18:52.820 to tell the
00:18:53.340 other side
00:18:53.760 of the story
00:18:54.220 because you're
00:18:55.160 certainly not
00:18:55.640 going to find
00:18:56.180 it amongst
00:18:57.060 the bailout
00:18:57.760 media,
00:18:58.260 the Justin
00:18:58.820 Journos,
00:18:59.660 as I sometimes
00:19:00.400 call them,
00:19:01.280 who are on his
00:19:01.880 payroll.
00:19:02.420 I mean,
00:19:02.740 I suppose you
00:19:03.520 can't blame a
00:19:04.240 guy for not
00:19:05.460 wanting to attack
00:19:06.240 his boss.
00:19:07.020 And about 95%
00:19:08.940 of the journalists
00:19:09.600 in Canada are
00:19:10.700 now directly or
00:19:11.760 indirectly on
00:19:12.660 Justin Trudeau's
00:19:13.360 payroll.
00:19:13.640 I guess it's
00:19:14.600 tough to criticize
00:19:15.360 the guy who puts
00:19:16.100 bread on your
00:19:16.640 family's table.
00:19:17.980 But they
00:19:18.480 shouldn't call
00:19:18.960 themselves reporters
00:19:19.860 then.
00:19:20.160 They should call
00:19:20.540 themselves government
00:19:21.820 reporters or,
00:19:23.140 you know,
00:19:24.260 sponsored reporters
00:19:26.060 or liberal
00:19:26.760 reporters.
00:19:27.600 But if you're
00:19:28.360 taking money
00:19:28.780 from Trudeau
00:19:29.500 and helping to
00:19:30.560 blackball the
00:19:31.260 one company
00:19:31.840 that isn't,
00:19:32.880 I don't think
00:19:33.340 you can call
00:19:33.780 yourself a
00:19:34.240 reporter without
00:19:34.800 a qualifying
00:19:36.240 adjective in
00:19:37.180 front of that.
00:19:38.680 Yeah,
00:19:39.260 and I agree
00:19:39.840 with that
00:19:40.180 entirely,
00:19:40.840 and to give
00:19:42.120 credit where
00:19:42.520 credit is due,
00:19:43.320 there are some
00:19:43.920 journalists with
00:19:44.700 some of these
00:19:45.100 media organizations
00:19:46.000 that are dead
00:19:48.120 set against
00:19:49.280 taking this
00:19:50.260 money as part
00:19:51.840 of a bailout
00:19:52.480 based on those
00:19:53.520 ethical concerns
00:19:54.420 that you just
00:19:55.460 adroitly mentioned.
00:19:57.300 But clearly,
00:19:58.400 this is where
00:19:59.280 the media is
00:20:00.140 with the
00:20:00.840 Trudeau liberals
00:20:01.840 in 2019.
00:20:03.480 I call it,
00:20:04.560 Ezra,
00:20:05.140 it's the carrot
00:20:05.840 or the stick.
00:20:07.060 It's be compliant,
00:20:09.040 be good,
00:20:09.760 don't be too
00:20:10.420 critical,
00:20:11.180 and the check
00:20:12.000 is in the mail,
00:20:12.660 or be like
00:20:14.840 Rebel Media
00:20:15.480 and you're
00:20:16.500 sent to the
00:20:17.460 little kids
00:20:18.020 table.
00:20:18.680 You are cut
00:20:19.400 off from
00:20:20.060 access,
00:20:21.420 and so
00:20:21.760 what's it
00:20:22.020 going to be?
00:20:22.540 The hard
00:20:23.100 way or
00:20:24.040 the easy
00:20:24.540 way?
00:20:25.280 And listen,
00:20:25.980 media jobs
00:20:26.920 are few and
00:20:27.540 far between
00:20:28.020 these days.
00:20:28.880 It's basically
00:20:30.020 a sunset
00:20:30.560 industry,
00:20:31.280 if you will.
00:20:32.120 So I don't
00:20:33.160 think there
00:20:34.220 is a,
00:20:34.920 you know,
00:20:36.480 there is a
00:20:37.240 compulsion
00:20:38.520 amongst many
00:20:39.380 journalists to
00:20:40.080 rock the boat
00:20:41.000 too much
00:20:41.900 because if it
00:20:42.940 means,
00:20:43.480 you know,
00:20:44.820 economic
00:20:45.280 penalization
00:20:46.120 by way of
00:20:47.000 you losing
00:20:48.040 your job,
00:20:48.960 there's not
00:20:49.580 a lot of
00:20:49.980 opportunities
00:20:50.660 out there.
00:20:51.600 The second
00:20:51.880 thing I want
00:20:52.300 to say,
00:20:52.980 Ezra,
00:20:53.360 when you
00:20:54.020 mentioned
00:20:54.480 the pettiness,
00:20:56.580 is that
00:20:57.520 how self-defeating
00:20:59.000 this is.
00:21:00.200 I think
00:21:01.200 Trudeau is
00:21:03.020 a bit of
00:21:03.380 an egomaniac,
00:21:04.780 and I have
00:21:05.480 no doubt
00:21:05.960 this is being
00:21:06.840 directed by
00:21:07.920 him,
00:21:08.460 much as
00:21:09.180 how our
00:21:10.420 own Sheila
00:21:10.920 Gunn-Reed
00:21:11.520 was banned
00:21:12.960 from going
00:21:13.360 to a
00:21:13.640 UN conference
00:21:14.280 in Poland.
00:21:15.780 Myself and
00:21:16.380 my cameraman
00:21:16.900 were banned
00:21:17.840 from going
00:21:18.760 to one
00:21:19.240 in Morocco.
00:21:20.760 Our own
00:21:21.160 Canadian
00:21:21.460 government
00:21:21.820 told the
00:21:22.420 UN not
00:21:23.120 to let us
00:21:23.660 in.
00:21:24.140 And here's
00:21:24.520 the thing,
00:21:25.160 much like
00:21:25.700 those stories,
00:21:27.120 if they had
00:21:27.820 just let me
00:21:29.100 join the
00:21:30.340 scrum of
00:21:31.480 more than
00:21:32.460 100 journalists
00:21:33.240 here today,
00:21:33.880 earlier today,
00:21:34.440 I should say,
00:21:35.640 I'm just a
00:21:37.240 face in the
00:21:37.820 crowd,
00:21:38.160 I'm harmless,
00:21:38.700 I wasn't going
00:21:39.080 to do any
00:21:39.440 kind of stunt,
00:21:40.180 I wasn't going
00:21:40.800 to do anything
00:21:41.260 embarrassing,
00:21:42.100 but instead,
00:21:43.420 I get frog
00:21:44.480 marched out
00:21:45.500 to the
00:21:46.320 public area
00:21:47.640 and sequestered
00:21:48.760 and kept
00:21:49.800 a very keen
00:21:50.700 eye on
00:21:51.180 by security,
00:21:52.400 and that
00:21:53.120 becomes the
00:21:54.420 story,
00:21:54.960 and the story
00:21:55.520 isn't good,
00:21:56.520 Ezra.
00:21:57.000 The optics
00:21:57.660 are brutal
00:21:58.580 for a government
00:21:59.560 that came to
00:22:00.220 power in
00:22:00.700 2015,
00:22:01.940 remember,
00:22:02.720 transparency,
00:22:04.000 that was,
00:22:04.420 he was always
00:22:04.900 saying transparency,
00:22:05.920 and sunny ways,
00:22:07.140 sunny ways,
00:22:07.580 well,
00:22:08.160 my friend,
00:22:08.880 these are
00:22:09.240 slimy ways.
00:22:10.200 Yeah,
00:22:10.460 well,
00:22:11.000 listen,
00:22:11.420 if they're
00:22:12.180 willing to
00:22:12.860 tell the
00:22:13.580 RCMP
00:22:14.200 to buzz
00:22:15.800 off
00:22:16.240 over their
00:22:18.160 criminal
00:22:18.540 investigation
00:22:19.280 for obstruction,
00:22:20.520 obviously,
00:22:21.140 they don't have
00:22:21.640 any compunction
00:22:22.320 about telling
00:22:23.000 a journalist
00:22:23.720 to buzz
00:22:24.540 off.
00:22:25.040 You say
00:22:25.560 it looks
00:22:26.060 awful,
00:22:26.480 I think
00:22:26.720 it does
00:22:27.080 look awful
00:22:27.620 to severely
00:22:28.180 normal
00:22:28.540 Canadians,
00:22:29.520 but it
00:22:30.580 has a
00:22:31.140 salutary
00:22:31.720 effect,
00:22:32.540 because it's
00:22:33.040 a warning
00:22:33.520 to other
00:22:34.040 journalists,
00:22:34.520 don't you
00:22:35.940 dare
00:22:36.240 criticize
00:22:36.840 Trudeau,
00:22:37.360 or you
00:22:37.860 too will
00:22:38.640 be escorted
00:22:39.260 out by
00:22:39.720 security.
00:22:40.980 So yeah,
00:22:41.680 it's deeply
00:22:42.500 embarrassing to
00:22:43.180 Trudeau,
00:22:43.800 to Canadians
00:22:44.300 who say,
00:22:44.740 hang on,
00:22:45.020 I thought we
00:22:45.400 had freedom
00:22:45.820 of the press,
00:22:46.360 but for
00:22:47.360 anyone who
00:22:48.040 works at
00:22:48.300 the CBC
00:22:48.840 or the rest
00:22:49.700 of the
00:22:49.960 bailout
00:22:50.340 media,
00:22:51.040 it's,
00:22:51.440 oh,
00:22:52.140 right,
00:22:53.280 those are
00:22:54.000 the rebel
00:22:54.560 media guys,
00:22:55.560 those guys
00:22:56.080 didn't take
00:22:56.580 the bailout,
00:22:57.620 those guys
00:22:58.100 criticized
00:22:58.660 Trudeau,
00:22:59.240 I don't
00:22:59.600 want that
00:22:59.940 to happen
00:23:00.300 to me,
00:23:00.880 I'll just
00:23:01.380 write another
00:23:02.000 story about
00:23:02.620 his awesome
00:23:03.340 socks and
00:23:04.160 how,
00:23:04.520 cool he
00:23:05.400 is.
00:23:06.700 And you
00:23:07.380 know,
00:23:07.560 the funny
00:23:08.020 thing is,
00:23:08.700 there was
00:23:09.240 a Bell
00:23:10.480 Media fellow
00:23:11.960 who was
00:23:12.280 briefly filming
00:23:13.800 my interaction
00:23:14.600 with the
00:23:15.180 Parliamentary
00:23:15.900 Press Gallery
00:23:17.000 fellow,
00:23:17.560 Pierre,
00:23:18.460 and I
00:23:19.340 reached out
00:23:19.740 to him,
00:23:20.100 and I
00:23:20.300 reached out
00:23:20.720 later to
00:23:21.260 a CTV
00:23:21.840 camera crew,
00:23:23.220 and basically
00:23:24.560 I was hoping
00:23:25.180 for some
00:23:26.040 of the love
00:23:26.520 you got
00:23:27.180 in the
00:23:27.620 UK a
00:23:29.220 couple of
00:23:29.560 months ago
00:23:30.080 when,
00:23:31.760 remember,
00:23:32.480 you were
00:23:32.980 going to be
00:23:33.380 excluded
00:23:33.920 from a
00:23:37.480 Chrysia
00:23:37.820 Freeland
00:23:38.380 powwow,
00:23:40.040 and shockingly
00:23:41.380 and surprisingly,
00:23:42.820 members of the
00:23:43.820 media basically
00:23:44.660 stood up and
00:23:45.560 said,
00:23:46.320 no,
00:23:46.980 no,
00:23:47.080 no,
00:23:47.340 it's all
00:23:47.820 of us
00:23:48.180 or none
00:23:48.880 of us.
00:23:49.300 I don't
00:23:49.640 know if
00:23:49.900 that was
00:23:50.380 a statistical
00:23:51.740 anomaly,
00:23:52.560 Ezra,
00:23:53.260 or if really
00:23:55.020 the new
00:23:56.240 normal or
00:23:56.840 the new
00:23:57.180 abnormal is
00:23:58.180 don't get
00:23:59.400 involved,
00:23:59.940 we don't want
00:24:00.320 to get
00:24:00.560 on Trudeau's
00:24:01.660 media
00:24:02.120 blacklist.
00:24:03.100 Yeah,
00:24:03.280 well,
00:24:03.700 you know,
00:24:04.000 it's funny
00:24:04.340 because when
00:24:04.700 I was in
00:24:05.580 Ottawa myself
00:24:06.300 a few weeks
00:24:06.840 ago for
00:24:07.720 the meeting
00:24:08.140 between
00:24:08.480 Chrysia Freeland
00:24:09.280 and Secretary
00:24:10.420 of State Mike
00:24:10.940 Pompeo,
00:24:11.920 I was smuggled
00:24:13.540 into that press
00:24:14.280 conference by
00:24:15.220 Secretary Pompeo,
00:24:16.480 which is quite
00:24:17.600 something.
00:24:18.660 I met with the
00:24:19.660 president of the
00:24:20.600 press gallery who
00:24:21.240 was there,
00:24:21.780 and he was quite
00:24:22.360 upset to see me
00:24:23.060 there,
00:24:23.280 and we had a
00:24:23.700 good pleasant
00:24:24.200 talk,
00:24:24.920 and he said,
00:24:25.420 send me an
00:24:25.780 email,
00:24:26.220 let's continue
00:24:27.000 the conversation.
00:24:27.940 I did send
00:24:28.500 an email,
00:24:28.840 I don't think
00:24:29.460 I've heard back,
00:24:30.040 I'll check again,
00:24:31.060 make sure I didn't
00:24:31.720 miss the email.
00:24:32.680 I blame them.
00:24:34.780 There is no
00:24:35.620 longer a dividing
00:24:36.540 line.
00:24:36.920 I mean,
00:24:37.300 obviously Trudeau
00:24:38.460 is the one
00:24:39.100 who has most
00:24:40.900 of the blame,
00:24:41.620 but the media
00:24:42.300 went along with
00:24:43.140 it,
00:24:43.320 and they're
00:24:43.580 continuing to
00:24:44.180 go along with
00:24:44.900 it,
00:24:45.480 and you mentioned
00:24:46.900 an incident in
00:24:47.680 London,
00:24:48.580 an anomaly where
00:24:49.780 they stood with
00:24:50.360 us.
00:24:50.780 I think that's
00:24:51.200 probably because
00:24:51.760 those reporters
00:24:52.640 were overseas
00:24:53.820 reporters who
00:24:54.480 aren't part of
00:24:55.100 the rebel
00:24:55.960 derangement
00:24:56.600 syndrome here in
00:24:57.540 Canada.
00:24:57.820 I think that
00:24:59.280 it's a great
00:25:00.140 discredit to
00:25:01.500 Canada's
00:25:02.060 parliamentary press
00:25:02.780 gallery where
00:25:03.220 there is no
00:25:03.900 dividing line
00:25:05.020 between them
00:25:05.720 and the
00:25:06.880 government anymore,
00:25:08.360 and Xinhua,
00:25:10.020 the Chinese
00:25:10.460 propaganda firm,
00:25:11.880 is welcome,
00:25:13.360 but independent
00:25:14.020 journalists are
00:25:14.640 not.
00:25:15.400 I suppose I
00:25:16.200 shouldn't be too
00:25:16.840 mad though,
00:25:17.380 David,
00:25:17.640 because that is
00:25:18.360 exactly why the
00:25:19.180 rebel has
00:25:19.620 succeeded over
00:25:20.900 the last four
00:25:21.520 and a half
00:25:21.880 years,
00:25:22.200 because no one
00:25:22.840 can trust the
00:25:23.680 media party.
00:25:24.340 You just can't
00:25:25.540 trust someone who
00:25:26.760 is being paid
00:25:27.700 by the person
00:25:28.840 they're supposed
00:25:29.240 to be holding
00:25:29.700 to account.
00:25:30.380 If Justin
00:25:31.020 Trudeau is
00:25:31.420 paying you,
00:25:32.600 you can never
00:25:33.240 ask him a
00:25:33.660 tough question.
00:25:35.540 So people can
00:25:36.900 see that and
00:25:37.440 detect that.
00:25:37.960 That's why the
00:25:38.440 rebel is growing
00:25:39.640 in the CBC,
00:25:40.540 the national.
00:25:41.500 Their viewership
00:25:42.180 is at its
00:25:42.660 lowest in
00:25:43.460 decades.
00:25:44.160 On any given
00:25:44.940 day, we have
00:25:45.500 more viewers of
00:25:46.080 the rebel than
00:25:46.560 the CBC,
00:25:47.140 the national has.
00:25:47.820 That's a fact.
00:25:49.360 And I think
00:25:50.280 that's part of
00:25:50.960 the resentment
00:25:51.520 and maybe part
00:25:53.600 of the competitiveness,
00:25:55.260 Ezra, because
00:25:55.640 let's figure,
00:25:56.680 let's face it,
00:25:57.340 when you're
00:25:57.780 talking those
00:25:58.260 kind of numbers,
00:25:59.320 we are a
00:26:00.640 bona fide
00:26:01.220 competitor to
00:26:02.260 these media
00:26:02.760 organizations.
00:26:04.140 And so why
00:26:05.160 would you help
00:26:05.640 your competitor,
00:26:06.500 I guess?
00:26:07.020 But I want to
00:26:07.400 go back to
00:26:07.800 what you
00:26:08.060 mentioned,
00:26:08.880 the Parliamentary
00:26:10.040 Press Gallery.
00:26:11.220 Just by its
00:26:12.020 name alone,
00:26:13.320 Ezra,
00:26:14.040 Parliamentary
00:26:14.800 and Press Gallery,
00:26:16.020 you think this
00:26:16.980 is an organization
00:26:17.960 that would be
00:26:19.200 committed to
00:26:20.480 the ideals of
00:26:21.260 democracy and
00:26:22.180 the ideals of
00:26:23.020 freedom of the
00:26:23.520 press and freedom
00:26:24.200 of speech and
00:26:24.860 freedom of expression
00:26:25.760 by going to
00:26:26.780 back for a
00:26:27.600 journalist.
00:26:28.320 But they're
00:26:28.820 the ones
00:26:29.360 complicit in
00:26:31.420 banning us.
00:26:32.440 I only found
00:26:33.100 out that you
00:26:34.020 had to have
00:26:35.200 accreditations
00:26:36.180 from the
00:26:36.840 Parliamentary
00:26:37.400 Press Gallery
00:26:38.460 literally a few
00:26:40.420 hours.
00:26:41.240 I was literally
00:26:41.740 in transit from
00:26:42.640 Toronto coming to
00:26:43.460 Ottawa to cover
00:26:45.060 this.
00:26:46.120 But it's a moot
00:26:47.380 point because if
00:26:48.140 you remember,
00:26:49.100 Ezra, when I
00:26:49.740 went to Ottawa
00:26:51.200 to cover the
00:26:52.220 Justice Committee
00:26:52.940 hearings on
00:26:53.900 the Canadian
00:26:54.400 Human Rights
00:26:55.020 Act, you
00:26:55.840 know, this
00:26:56.120 whole idea of
00:26:56.800 resurrecting the
00:26:58.100 anti-free speech
00:26:59.360 pro-censorship
00:27:00.300 section, Section
00:27:01.380 13, that Stephen
00:27:02.900 Harper got rid of
00:27:03.780 in 2013, well, I
00:27:06.500 was denied those
00:27:07.760 parliamentary press
00:27:08.760 credentials that we
00:27:09.620 had applied for
00:27:10.240 the day before,
00:27:11.580 literally 10
00:27:13.100 minutes before the
00:27:14.880 committee hearing
00:27:15.580 was to begin.
00:27:17.200 So again, it's
00:27:18.360 this pettiness,
00:27:20.160 it's this level of
00:27:21.900 spite, and quite
00:27:23.220 frankly, it's
00:27:24.400 unprofessional.
00:27:25.380 Yeah.
00:27:25.740 And the obvious
00:27:26.720 point is, as you
00:27:27.360 mentioned earlier,
00:27:27.960 look, there's 100
00:27:28.580 journalists there.
00:27:29.920 It's not like there
00:27:31.200 was any meaningful
00:27:32.140 question and answer
00:27:33.200 session.
00:27:34.100 The most you would
00:27:34.980 do is have your
00:27:35.840 own camera pointing
00:27:36.940 at Trudeau.
00:27:38.460 We'll get that
00:27:39.320 footage anyways.
00:27:40.060 We subscribe to a
00:27:41.380 media pool, so
00:27:42.380 it in no way,
00:27:46.460 like, just nothing
00:27:47.620 turns on it, other
00:27:49.340 than they want to
00:27:51.120 show what happens
00:27:52.520 if you disagree.
00:27:53.480 And, you know, the
00:27:54.520 journalists who were
00:27:55.460 actually the errand
00:27:57.040 boys here, the
00:27:58.080 journalists running
00:27:58.740 the parliamentary
00:27:59.180 press gallery, they
00:28:00.920 may be saving their
00:28:02.020 own jobs, but they're
00:28:03.280 burying the industry.
00:28:05.320 And you know what?
00:28:05.780 I, for one, don't
00:28:06.740 mourn the loss of
00:28:08.900 the media party
00:28:09.700 because, and
00:28:11.800 although I have no
00:28:13.100 animus towards any
00:28:14.200 individual reporter,
00:28:15.560 and I believe everyone
00:28:16.300 should be able to
00:28:17.060 work hard and earn
00:28:18.320 a living, if you
00:28:19.800 have become a
00:28:20.540 censor just to keep
00:28:22.460 your job as a
00:28:23.300 government journalist,
00:28:24.960 you know what?
00:28:25.900 I don't mind if your
00:28:27.400 choices have made
00:28:28.780 your company so
00:28:29.760 untenable that no
00:28:30.780 one wants to read
00:28:31.500 your pro-Trudeau
00:28:32.260 crap that you lose
00:28:34.020 your job.
00:28:34.460 I'm sorry, I have
00:28:35.620 only a limited number
00:28:37.120 of tears to cry, and
00:28:38.340 I won't cry them for
00:28:39.860 a reporter censor
00:28:41.260 who buried his own
00:28:42.700 industry because he
00:28:43.640 thought sucking up to
00:28:44.520 Trudeau was the way
00:28:45.780 to buy himself another
00:28:47.120 six or twelve months
00:28:47.920 before a layoff.
00:28:48.840 Last word to you,
00:28:49.740 David.
00:28:50.580 Yes, no, 100%,
00:28:51.800 Ezra, as I've
00:28:52.540 long said, there's
00:28:53.580 only one thing worse
00:28:54.540 than censorship, and
00:28:55.600 that is self-censorship.
00:28:56.840 And we are seeing
00:28:57.660 that every day in the
00:28:59.560 media coverage that
00:29:00.900 we get.
00:29:01.600 And secondly, to your
00:29:02.540 point about the kind
00:29:03.600 of questions Trudeau
00:29:05.400 was going to receive
00:29:06.800 after dropping the
00:29:08.040 writ, well, one of
00:29:09.000 them, how's this for
00:29:09.880 a hardball question,
00:29:11.160 why are you jetting off
00:29:12.400 to BC to do your
00:29:14.080 campaigning?
00:29:14.980 And Trudeau's answer
00:29:16.160 is, well, I consider
00:29:17.540 BC to be my second
00:29:19.220 home, to which I
00:29:21.200 would add, maybe we
00:29:22.640 better send out an
00:29:23.440 Amber Alert to Rose
00:29:24.580 Knight, just in case.
00:29:26.480 Yeah, I mean, why are
00:29:27.960 you going to BC?
00:29:28.820 Could you imagine, so
00:29:29.380 the front page of the
00:29:30.500 Globe and Mail today is
00:29:31.380 about his crooked
00:29:32.120 obstruction of the RCMP,
00:29:33.940 and some journalist, I'm
00:29:35.020 curious who was, hi,
00:29:36.800 Prime Minister, you're so
00:29:38.420 dreamy.
00:29:39.820 I've got a question.
00:29:40.960 Okay, I can't ask about
00:29:42.460 feminist stuff, I can't
00:29:43.620 ask about SNC-Lavalin, I
00:29:45.320 can't ask about the
00:29:46.560 economy, I can't ask
00:29:47.520 about budget or the
00:29:48.260 carbon tax, can't ask
00:29:49.780 about the fact that the
00:29:50.620 conservatives won the
00:29:51.440 election yesterday in
00:29:52.180 Manitoba.
00:29:53.060 Um, hey, why are you
00:29:56.100 going to BC?
00:29:58.680 Yeah, boy, I can see why
00:30:01.720 Trudeau loves him, his
00:30:03.460 parliamentary press
00:30:04.340 gallery.
00:30:04.840 I've seen high school
00:30:06.140 newspapers with tougher
00:30:08.060 questions than that.
00:30:09.220 I want to know who that
00:30:10.360 loser was, and I want to
00:30:12.460 know how much their
00:30:13.320 bailout is.
00:30:13.960 I am, I don't know who
00:30:14.900 that was, but I'm deeply
00:30:16.520 embarrassed for them.
00:30:17.880 I'm glad I don't know who
00:30:18.920 they are, because I would,
00:30:20.420 go ahead.
00:30:22.080 Oh, sorry, Ezra, I wish I
00:30:23.520 knew who it was, too, but
00:30:24.560 remember, I was, uh,
00:30:25.960 yeah, consigned to the
00:30:27.840 public area, literally
00:30:29.480 roped off, and-
00:30:30.720 Hi, I'm Prime Minister, or
00:30:32.420 can I call you Justin?
00:30:33.460 Um, can I get a selfie?
00:30:37.440 And, of course, that's not
00:30:38.280 even a joke, that's Rosemary
00:30:39.340 Barton.
00:30:39.980 All right, David, well, uh,
00:30:41.740 uh, in the campaign trail
00:30:43.840 ahead, the parliamentary
00:30:45.200 press gallery no longer has
00:30:46.700 its authority, because they
00:30:47.820 actually are an arm of the
00:30:49.580 government, and I'm not
00:30:50.500 speaking in a metaphor, they
00:30:51.960 are an arm of the
00:30:52.580 government, which is how they
00:30:53.940 get their authority, but on
00:30:55.000 the campaign trail, that no
00:30:56.480 longer exists.
00:30:57.700 So, um, today was the last
00:30:59.420 day they'll be able to stop
00:31:00.660 us from covering politics
00:31:02.220 till October 21st, and, uh,
00:31:04.640 we'll make up for lost
00:31:05.540 time, I promise you that.
00:31:07.220 Yeah, that's great, uh, you
00:31:08.700 know, we have, uh, we're,
00:31:09.940 we're gonna hit the ground
00:31:10.860 running for sure, Ezra, and,
00:31:12.520 uh, regardless of the
00:31:13.640 interference, uh, we're not
00:31:15.660 gonna put up with it, and
00:31:16.740 nor can we be bought.
00:31:17.940 Yeah, all right, well, keep
00:31:18.860 up the fight, David, thanks.
00:31:20.660 Thank you so much, Ezra.
00:31:21.720 All right, there you have it,
00:31:22.540 David Menzies on the scene
00:31:24.440 at Rideau Hall.
00:31:25.100 Can you imagine how petty
00:31:26.200 the liberals are?
00:31:27.960 Of course you can imagine
00:31:28.700 how petty they are.
00:31:29.680 Um, they're crooks.
00:31:32.300 That's not my opinion.
00:31:33.460 They've broken the law time
00:31:34.460 and again.
00:31:34.860 That's the ethics
00:31:35.520 councillor's verdict and
00:31:37.280 conviction.
00:31:38.540 Stay with us.
00:31:39.960 Your letter's next.
00:31:52.280 On my monologue on Monday
00:31:54.060 about our plan to cover the
00:31:55.160 Canadian federal election,
00:31:56.460 Grieg writes,
00:31:57.280 subscribe to premium content,
00:31:59.520 check,
00:32:00.160 donated to campaign2019.com,
00:32:02.260 check,
00:32:02.860 ordered my copy of the
00:32:03.680 Libranos,
00:32:04.200 what the media won't tell
00:32:05.040 you about Trudeau's
00:32:05.700 corruption,
00:32:06.120 check,
00:32:06.620 stocking up on popcorn and
00:32:07.680 beer,
00:32:07.960 and I'm looking forward to
00:32:08.660 continuing coverage of the
00:32:09.820 other side of the story,
00:32:10.580 check,
00:32:10.880 go get them,
00:32:11.460 Rebels.
00:32:11.960 Well,
00:32:12.260 thanks very much.
00:32:13.460 You got me excited just
00:32:14.480 reading that.
00:32:15.500 You know,
00:32:15.960 I, um,
00:32:16.800 I'm recording this in the
00:32:18.140 afternoon.
00:32:18.620 We'll put it up online in a
00:32:19.640 couple hours.
00:32:20.080 And the last I checked that
00:32:21.760 book,
00:32:22.100 the Libranos was number 11 on
00:32:25.320 the Amazon.ca national
00:32:26.560 bestsellers list.
00:32:27.600 And we hadn't even really
00:32:29.120 announced it or, I mean,
00:32:30.140 I mentioned it in passing in
00:32:31.420 the, in my monologue, it's
00:32:32.740 true, but that's it.
00:32:33.540 I didn't tweet about it until
00:32:35.860 late last night.
00:32:36.600 I didn't email anybody about
00:32:38.060 it, but it was already number
00:32:39.420 11 on the national bestseller
00:32:40.880 list with no promotion at all.
00:32:42.680 And I think it's, there's such
00:32:43.500 an appetite for that side of
00:32:44.600 the story.
00:32:45.420 People really want to hear the
00:32:46.960 other point of view.
00:32:47.560 That's what I think's going
00:32:48.480 on.
00:32:49.980 Jan writes, Ezra, I like your
00:32:51.980 plan, especially the trucks
00:32:53.140 and interviewing locals on
00:32:54.180 the street.
00:32:54.720 I also like the lawn signs.
00:32:56.120 Well, thanks Jan.
00:32:57.460 Um, if you go to the
00:32:59.460 Libranos.com, we'll show you,
00:33:02.540 it should be up by the time
00:33:03.840 you're watching this.
00:33:05.080 We've got a map where we're
00:33:06.480 going to deliver these lawn
00:33:08.120 signs and I hope you get one.
00:33:11.000 Sheldon writes, just remember
00:33:12.720 the Dems were so sure Hillary
00:33:13.920 had it locked up and look what
00:33:14.980 happened.
00:33:16.160 That's true.
00:33:16.880 And that's a reason to hope.
00:33:18.980 And, um, the entire media
00:33:22.900 party up here is like the
00:33:24.380 entire media party in the
00:33:25.680 States.
00:33:26.620 It's overwhelming and it's
00:33:27.880 overwhelmingly pro Trudeau.
00:33:29.600 We'll have to see how it goes.
00:33:30.800 I think we have an important
00:33:31.760 journalistic role to play,
00:33:33.200 don't you think?
00:33:34.120 All right.
00:33:34.400 That's our show for today.
00:33:35.380 Until next time, on behalf of
00:33:36.520 all of us here at Rebel World
00:33:37.800 Headquarters, good night and
00:33:39.160 keep fighting for freedom.
00:33:39.880 Yeah.

00:33:43.000 Bye.
00:33:50.160 Bye.
00:33:51.920 Bye.
00:33:52.300 Bye.
00:33:56.060 Bye.
00:33:57.780 Bye.
