Hello, my rebels. I got great news for you. Finally, the pandemic is over. I'll show you
00:00:04.500
the proof from public health officials. The curve is so flat, you need a magnifying glass to see it.
00:00:09.800
But then how come, how come all the mask laws are ramping up only now, not three months ago when
00:00:17.240
maybe we could have used them? I have two theories. I'll share them with you next. But first, can I
00:00:22.360
invite you to become a Rebel News Plus subscriber? It's eight bucks a month, which is normally 96
00:00:31.420
bucks a year by my math. But if you actually subscribe for a whole year, it's only 80 bucks.
00:00:35.800
We'll give you a discount. So 80 bucks for a whole year of the video version of this podcast,
00:00:41.660
plus weekly shows from Sheila Gunn-Reed and David Menzies, and the satisfaction of knowing that
00:00:48.980
you're keeping us independent. We don't take any money from Justin Trudeau, and it shows.
00:00:53.480
All right, go to rebelnews.com to subscribe for that. It'd be a big favor to me. Here's today's podcast.
00:01:06.060
Tonight, Manitoba politicians have a special health exemption for themselves. It's July 9th,
00:01:21.840
Let's start with the good news. The pandemic is over. Look at that curve. That's the number of cases
00:01:49.660
every day in Canada peaked in mid-April. It's now down to numbers so low you almost can't see them
00:01:54.520
on the chart. You can find entire cities in Canada without a single case, like Regina. Not one person
00:02:01.640
has the virus in Regina. Not one. Only three people in hospital in that entire province.
00:02:07.900
In Toronto, Canada's biggest city, it's almost down to single digits for new cases. There are about 40
00:02:13.760
hospitals of different kinds in the greater Toronto area, population 6.5 million people,
00:02:18.480
and there are exactly 35 patients in intensive care across the entire mighty city. So about one person
00:02:26.640
per hospital total. Just a reminder, last year, the regular flu killed 8,511 Canadians. Total number of
00:02:36.160
people killed by coronavirus, almost exactly the same, 8,737. Now, I'm not happy about any deaths,
00:02:43.560
but this really was no worse than the annual flu season. If you were a senior citizen in some poorly
00:02:49.740
run senior's home, you should definitely be worried about this virus. But if you're under 50,
00:02:55.560
you had a greater chance of dying by driving into an animal on a highway. If you're under 20,
00:03:02.360
you had a greater chance of being struck by lightning. Every year, about 10 Canadians are killed
00:03:07.640
by lightning annually. So far, the virus has killed one person under age 20 in the entire country,
00:03:17.300
and they had a terminal disease to begin with. It is less risky than being struck by lightning. And
00:03:22.940
one of the safest places to be in Canada is friendly Manitoba. Look at this headline,
00:03:27.220
no new cases for six days in a row. I haven't been able to find conclusive stats, but I think you might
00:03:33.120
have a higher risk of being eaten by a polar bear in Manitoba than dying of the virus. Look at this.
00:03:40.440
Man and woman attacked. Two bears attack a pedestrian. Those two were Manitoba cases. Here's a Nunavut case.
00:03:49.380
If you're under 50, I think the risk per million population is higher of being eaten by a polar bear
00:03:54.980
than by dying from the virus. Politicians know this. Here's Manitoba's Premier, Brian Pallister,
00:04:01.680
chatting with Andrew Scheer, neither with their masks on, obviously. No normal people wear masks
00:04:06.520
when they talk, least of all politicians. But this picture embarrassed Brian Pallister. He knows he
00:04:11.660
doesn't have the virus. He knows Manitoba is done, the pandemic. He's not nuts. But he was shamed by
00:04:18.900
the media party, so he said, sorry, he'll never let it happen again. So Manitoba, which is cured,
00:04:24.520
it is safe now. The pandemic is done now. Well, it's now forcing everyone to wear masks.
00:04:30.200
Now? Now that it's done. No new cases six days in a row. Just none. It's over. Maybe we should have
00:04:38.360
had masks three months ago. I don't know. Taiwan uses masks. And they've had a grand total of seven
00:04:44.360
deaths total in a country of 23, 24 million people right next to China. So I accept that masks can help,
00:04:51.840
but masks in Manitoba now after it's all over? Why, yes. Yes, actually. Look at this. It's a story
00:05:02.780
about masks and Manitobans and politicians. I think the newspaper was trying to be mad at Pallister,
00:05:07.660
but look at this buried in the bottom of the story. Manitoba public health orders exempt elected
00:05:12.860
officials and several other types of individuals who provide vital services from self-isolation orders
00:05:19.700
when traveling outside Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. A spokeswoman for Manitoba health said
00:05:24.500
elected officials and their staff can travel for business or vacation or a combination of both.
00:05:32.340
And they do not have to self-isolate when they return to Manitoba if they're not displaying any
00:05:36.440
symptoms of COVID-19 as they are engaged in providing a vital service. Oh, got it. So politicians
00:05:43.180
are exempt even on their vacation because that's a vital service, people. Isn't that interesting? Oh,
00:05:50.440
and all their hangers-on too because no one is more essential than some junior assistant, you know,
00:05:57.420
suitcase handler for an elected MLA. I mean, they're the most important people in the world.
00:06:02.200
They have to be exempt from these laws on their vacations. They're certainly more important than you.
00:06:06.300
But what does that have to do with them not having to follow the same laws as everyone else? Does the
00:06:12.400
virus check with someone to see if they're a politician or a mere mortal first? This isn't
00:06:16.740
medical science, people. It's politics. Just like not a single politician or public health authority
00:06:21.180
condemned the Black Lives Matter rallies. Apparently, the virus doesn't go to those.
00:06:27.780
Why the current obsession with masks and quarantines for the little people only? Now that it's all over,
00:06:33.660
like if this was in March or April, I get it. But now? I have one theory. Trudeau spent $2 billion
00:06:42.160
on masks. Masks that cost, what, a dime to make? He spent $2 billion on them. He got ripped off so badly.
00:06:52.880
But I think it finally arrived. Now that the pandemic's over, and to save face, he's got to make
00:07:00.740
everybody wear them. I mean, he just spent $2 billion on a bunch of masks. He probably paid, no kidding,
00:07:06.020
100 times more than they're worth. So he can't just throw them out. He'd look as stupid and ineffectual
00:07:13.180
as he really is. Look at this. I love this headline. Trudeau says Canada will not pay full price for
00:07:20.880
8 million substandard masks. So they're substandard. They don't actually work. And instead of rejecting
00:07:28.200
them, well, he'll take them. He just said, can I get a bit of a discount? They don't work. I won't pay full
00:07:33.340
price. Why would you wear a mask that doesn't work? Why would you wear it at all? He really is that dumb.
00:07:40.740
Here's John Tory, the mayor of Toronto, not quite sure how to wear a mask. Where does it go? Well, going to a
00:07:47.320
crowded park, telling people to wear their masks and not going to a crowded park. So you know he means
00:07:52.580
everything he says. Now that was a month ago that the pandemic was over then already, but it's really
00:07:58.040
over now. And yet this week is the week that John Tory brought in mandatory masks for the whole city of
00:08:03.760
Toronto. Why now? I don't think John Tory spent $2 billion on masks that he has to save face about.
00:08:10.980
Never say never. I think he just wants to make permanent the sense of fear and alienation and
00:08:16.480
crisis that we've all been living through for four months. We're all getting back to normal and
00:08:21.320
politicians don't like that because mayors, especially left-wing big city mayors like John
00:08:25.600
Tory are failures in normal times. They have to deal with things like taxes and crime and garbage pickup
00:08:30.760
and things like that. But in a pandemic, they can pretend they're dramatic generals fighting a war.
00:08:35.800
They love the sense of crisis. Their businesses aren't failing. They don't have businesses. They
00:08:40.140
work on the public time. They're not going bankrupt. They love being bossy. That's why they became
00:08:44.760
politicians to begin with. There is no medical reason. There is no scientific reason. There is no fact-based
00:08:50.260
policy reason to wear masks when the pandemic is over, which it is, but there is a political reason.
00:09:03.460
You're going to wear masks just to be compliant, just to show how you're a good Canadian and how
00:09:09.320
you obey authority, even when it's really dumb? Well, you do the same when they come with their
00:09:16.540
untested, made-in-China vaccine, too. Stay with us for more.
00:09:35.260
Welcome back. Well, Justin Trudeau is self-hiding without a doctor's note. He's been staying at home
00:09:43.200
for about four months, but that hasn't kept him out of trouble. In fact, I think he's gotten used to
00:09:48.480
the lack of scrutiny and accountability, not having parliament sit as usual, not having press that
00:09:55.360
aren't hand-picked by him ask him questions. And so his behavior has gotten even worse with the risks
00:10:02.320
that are innate to his character. He's a rich man. He inherited money. He's the third generation of
00:10:09.980
Trudeau's that hasn't worked. Well, actually, his grandpa was the last Trudeau that ever worked for
00:10:15.260
a living. So he's used to things coming easily. He has an entitlement mentality, but I think it just
00:10:20.800
got out of control. As you've seen recently, he personally was part of the cabinet decision to steer
00:10:28.000
$900 million to a questionable charity called WE Charity, W-E, run by the Kielberger brothers.
00:10:38.280
But it turned out that that $900 million was hand-picked, sole source, not open to competition,
00:10:44.180
and that WE would get millions of dollars for handling that, and that the money was for volunteers.
00:10:50.240
You don't pay volunteers. So many strange questions that begged more questions. And finally,
00:10:56.460
we panicked and said, uh, we don't want the deal after all. But questions continued, continued,
00:11:04.220
investigations continued. We hired lawyers to growl at reporters. In an unusual turn of events,
00:11:12.220
reporters growled back. And now we see this shocking headline today, broken almost simultaneously
00:11:19.840
by a number of different media. The WE Charity that Trudeau intervened to send $900 million
00:11:27.860
through. Well, they have been secretly paying Trudeau's mother, Margaret Trudeau, and his brother,
00:11:35.220
Alexandra Sasha Trudeau, $250,000 to his mom, more than $30,000 to his brother, all secret. None of it
00:11:46.060
disclosed a massive scandal. Surely just the tip of the iceberg. Joining us now to talk about this,
00:11:52.640
and we will talk about other things too, is our friend Lauren Gunter, senior columnist with the
00:11:57.460
Edmonton Sun. Lauren, the WE Day, it's a big deal here in Toronto, but it's in other cities. It's
00:12:03.680
basically emptying out the junior highs and high schools to come and cheer for liberal
00:12:07.960
celebrities. Trudeau, his wife, his mom. It always felt like a liberal rally. Little did we know
00:12:14.140
that it was actually a way to funnel cash into the Trudeau family pockets.
00:12:20.480
Yeah. Does it surprise me that the revelation that the WE Charity has been paying speaking fees to
00:12:30.280
Margaret Trudeau and Sasha Trudeau? No. Does it surprise me that it was done on the QT so that
00:12:38.840
nobody knew about it? No. It doesn't surprise me. Nothing in this scandal surprises me.
00:12:47.080
The biggest problem, though, of course, is, you know, the WE Charity is welcome to pay
00:12:52.000
whatever private citizens it wants to speak at its function. But the problem is, undoubtedly,
00:12:59.800
the prime minister knew when this proposal to give WE control over 900 million tax dollars,
00:13:08.560
nearly a billion tax dollars, and pay it nearly $20 million in administration fees. When this decision
00:13:16.980
came to the cabinet, he now admits he did not recuse himself. He did not. He took part in the
00:13:24.020
discussions. He did vote. So that's where the real problem is. You know, we can find out they've
00:13:32.040
been paying all sorts of people who have close affection with their charity. That's OK. But it's
00:13:40.180
when it's the prime minister's mother and brother and the prime minister surely knew about it, and then
00:13:44.700
the prime minister goes and makes a decision about giving a sole source contract. No competitive
00:13:49.440
bidding. No one else asked. The sole source contract to the WE Charity, which he has also
00:13:56.580
been closely connected to. Between 2012 and 2017, he was the keynote speaker slash host at a number of
00:14:05.020
WE Day rallies. In fact, the morning after he was elected in 2015, one of his first events was a
00:14:12.660
WE Day rally. So he's very, very close. His wife is even closer. She's an official ambassador of the
00:14:20.020
WE Charity and hosts a podcast that the charity has. I mean, their connections go back almost a decade,
00:14:27.800
perhaps longer than a decade. And they are very, very close. They're very simpatico, too.
00:14:33.680
Ideologically, as you said, you know, their WE Day rallies look like liberal evangelical tent shows.
00:14:41.140
You know, it's like it's preaching to young people that they need to go and change the world
00:14:46.760
and go on on WE sponsored education trips to third world countries so they can learn to be humble.
00:14:55.640
So it's really it does have sort of a almost a cultish kind of feel to it when you when you look
00:15:05.540
at the online, you look at the at these rallies and all of that together means the prime minister
00:15:13.560
surely should have known that he was in a conflict of interest when he when he spoke in favor of this
00:15:21.120
contract at the cabinet and voted on. Now, we can go even further back in a couple of weeks before
00:15:26.720
that. You know, his office still claims he still claims that it was the bureaucracy that came
00:15:33.240
forward and said, you know, cabinet, we think the best people to handle this contract is the WE Charity.
00:15:41.040
Well, even the CBC last week had an extensive piece talking to people in the philanthropic
00:15:50.340
community in in Canada, in the different charitable organizations, saying we don't think we has enough
00:15:56.500
contacts locally around the country to actually perform this task of distributing nine hundred
00:16:05.240
million dollars to students who work for charities during the summer. There's the YMCA.
00:16:10.860
There's the United Way. There are any number of other organizations that have the infrastructure
00:16:17.180
available and have the ability that is also that also puts a lie to one of the liberal story points,
00:16:24.380
talking points on this. And that is that we was deemed by the bureaucracy to be the only charity that
00:16:31.180
could do this. I mean, there's so much about this that just smells. Yeah. That's very, very hard to believe
00:16:37.900
Trudeau did not know what was going on early on and and should have done something about it.
00:16:44.220
I Mario Dion, who is the ethics commissioner who found Trudeau in violation of the ethics act under the
00:16:50.620
S for the SNC Lavalin affair is now investigating this. But I can't say that he for sure that he will find
00:16:58.220
another ethics breach. But if there is an ethics breach by Trudeau on this, that means the Aga Khan
00:17:04.940
private island trip, SNC Lavalin, and if this one happens, also the We Cherry, he would have been
00:17:11.020
guilty three times of violating the ethics act. Surely a man with any shame at all would have to resign.
00:17:18.540
Yeah. But you watch. He will not have any shame. The party will build their wagons around them. And
00:17:24.620
and liberal voters from one end of the country to the other will excuse it. Yeah. Oh, he'll give a
00:17:29.420
speech about how it's a teachable moment for the rest of us and how we can all learn to do better.
00:17:34.540
And, you know, he was blinded by his privilege. Yeah, he didn't use that excuse. You know,
00:17:40.540
there's so many other connections. Bizarrely, Trudeau appointed one of the Kielberger brothers to the
00:17:45.660
Federal Debates Commission. What? The group that banned us from attending the debates. I wonder if
00:17:52.780
that's a coincidence. And remember, it was we that said we just talked about speaking fees. We sent
00:18:00.620
when I say we, I mean the we charity sent Sophie Trudeau and the kids and the mom on a luxury trip to
00:18:08.700
London. That's where she infected superstar Idris Elba with the virus. So there's all sorts
00:18:15.580
of payments that haven't even been disclosed yet. I think it was a real. I mean, there's
00:18:23.740
a saying a fish rots from the head down. Another way of saying it is people look to the leader.
00:18:28.700
For example, when Stephen Harper was the prime minister, a scandal as small as a $16 cup of
00:18:34.540
orange juice could result in a minister being fired. Name me a single financial scandal in all of
00:18:40.540
Harper's career. The only thing that got him in trouble was when Nigel Wright tried to pay back
00:18:47.340
questionable expenses for Mike Duffy. If that's your scandal, someone giving money to the government,
00:18:52.700
that's as clean as a whistle. That was the moral leadership of Harper. Look at, as you just mentioned,
00:18:57.500
this would be the third brutally blatant case. And I read the Aga Khan, that's that billionaire
00:19:04.620
island in the Bahamas where they went down and they knew it was wrong because they kept it secret.
00:19:08.780
They lied to the public. And they, when you read the full report, it actually was Sophie Trudeau
00:19:14.940
who was repeatedly calling up the family and saying, Hey, can I come back with my girlfriends?
00:19:21.900
That's right. The princess, the daughter of the Aga Khan said, well, we're not going to be there.
00:19:25.820
And she said, Oh yeah, no, no problem. We just wanted to use the place. So that sense of entitlement,
00:19:30.700
she wants that billionaire Kardashian lifestyle. Um, so he, I have two points to make on this,
00:19:37.820
Lauren. One is the entire liberal firmament sees how their star operates. So they surely
00:19:45.180
operate the same way. Oh, it's okay. If I pad my expenses, it's okay. If I take this gift
00:19:49.980
because the boss is doing it and he never gets in trouble for it. And you know what it goes beyond
00:19:56.060
that though, it goes into the whole mentality of the liberal establishment in Canada, uh, in that,
00:20:03.900
well, we are the most moral, sensitive, intelligent, caring people we've ever met. So of course, what
00:20:13.180
we would do is, is appropriate because we are so moral and caring and sensitive and intelligent. Yeah.
00:20:19.900
Uh, and it, it speaks to such a level of arrogance, but they don't, I mean, they must surely at some
00:20:26.940
point think, Oh, should I be doing this? Shouldn't I? Ah, yeah, sure. It's okay. Because I have the
00:20:32.060
best interests of the country at heart and we are the final arbiters of what the country's best interests
00:20:37.420
are. Ergo, it's okay. Well, he's a fake feminist. I mean, he gropes, uh, reporters. He's a fake
00:20:45.740
minority rights activist. He wears blackface and, and disparages Aboriginal folks. And he's fake
00:20:51.500
charity. He, he, he takes from charity. He doesn't give to it. Yeah. You know, and, and I, I don't want
00:20:58.540
to get us off of this, but I think there's a point to be made here too, that the $343 billion they're
00:21:06.540
going to go into debt this year is also connected to this. Because if you watch the fiscal snapshot,
00:21:12.940
he read the fiscal report that, that finance minister Bill Morneau put out on Wednesday,
00:21:19.020
um, there's no plan in there to stop spending. There's no remorse for the fact that they are,
00:21:26.140
they have gone deeper in debt on a per capita basis than any other G7 country in response to
00:21:31.340
the pandemic. And, and there's no plan. Like you can say, okay, I don't like the amount that they
00:21:37.820
spent. I think they overspent, but you know, this pandemic hit it with full force in an instant
00:21:46.300
overnight. Things were in free fall and you sometimes do you overcompensate because things are
00:21:53.580
so bad. You know, I don't know where the bottom is and you're flailing around. I get that. I mean,
00:21:58.380
to some extent I'm prepared to forgive them some of the money that they spent,
00:22:03.100
but because they believe that everything they do is perfect and that whatever is in the interest of
00:22:10.140
the liberal party is also the national interest, they have no plan to stop doing this. Like they
00:22:15.340
don't care. They don't care if this sends up inflation. It doesn't matter if it raises interest
00:22:19.740
rates. It doesn't matter if it lowers the standard of living of people who are working from, I mean,
00:22:25.100
for instance, in, in their CERB payment, the Canada emergency response benefit, $2,000 a month that
00:22:31.660
people who lost their jobs are getting. There's two things in this that really irk me. First of all,
00:22:38.380
the amount that they're spending on CERB alone, and this, there's all sorts of others. There's the
00:22:42.940
wage subsidy, there's business subsidies, there's the loan program for small businesses, a whole bunch
00:22:47.740
of other benefits from the pandemic. CERB alone is larger than the British economic recovery plan.
00:22:58.140
Just one benefit. And we are a country that is not quite, well, a little more than half as large
00:23:05.740
as Britain. Oh, it's so large, people don't want to go back to work. And it's also paid to non-Canadians.
00:23:12.300
It's paid to foreign students in our country who don't work. 5.5 million Canadians lost their jobs
00:23:18.860
or lost part of their work hours. They lost hours during the pandemic. 5.5 million. The CERB has been
00:23:27.660
paid to 8.1 million. Yeah. There's got to be a reconciliation. There has to be, they don't
00:23:35.100
explain that stuff. They don't think that there's a problem. And CERB up to the end of the lockdowns.
00:23:42.300
So that's what it was supposed to be to cover lockdown. Yeah. CERB, to the end of lockdowns,
00:23:47.740
paid $53 billion. But it will pay an extra $27 billion on top of that for two added months of
00:23:57.100
payment. And that was the liberals paying off the NDP to allow them to shut down parliament so that
00:24:04.220
there's no scrutiny until the end of September. Right. That's not a pandemic requirement. That's
00:24:09.340
a liberal party requirement. It wouldn't shock me if there was a snap election, especially
00:24:13.340
like five minutes after the conservatives get their leave. Or why even wait? They'd probably
00:24:19.660
like to go with Andrew Scheer again. Hey, I got one more thing that came to my mind when I saw
00:24:24.620
Alexandra Trudeau, Sasha Trudeau, was also taking payments here. I just wrote a book called China Virus,
00:24:32.780
Lauren. And in it, I talked about how Alexandra Sasha published his book about China, which is
00:24:39.660
legit. I mean, I think he's a crazy pro-communist weirdo who loved Castro and loved the Soviets. Now
00:24:45.900
he loves Iran and now he loves China. Okay, fine. But he had it published by the government of China.
00:24:52.300
Like the government of China published Sasha Trudeau's book. We don't know how much he was paid for that,
00:24:58.060
but obviously he was paid. And I thought, if they're accepting secret payments from we,
00:25:05.900
are they also accepting secret payments from others? And I don't mean Justin Trudeau himself,
00:25:09.740
I mean, Alexandra Trudeau, who we know has done business with China. Who else is paying family
00:25:16.860
members and letting it be known to Justin that, hey there, we're on your side. And by the way,
00:25:22.220
since we've been doing it for four years, now we have some dirt on you because you've been keeping
00:25:27.500
the secret. So it's a trap actually. Trudeau might have, it's like Hunter Biden in the States.
00:25:33.580
Joe Biden can say, oh, I haven't taken a dime from China. Yeah. But your son has taken a billion.
00:25:38.700
And I think that we need an investigation on what other, like we, charity, WE charity,
00:25:46.700
is about the least worst because we know what they are. They're liberalists, globalists,
00:25:51.020
teeny poppers, just like Trudeau. But what about people who are more malign?
00:25:55.580
What about foreign interests who operate through bribes in Africa and Asia and now are delighted to
00:26:01.580
find a Canadian who not only isn't afraid to take bribes, but he actively tries to hide it like the
00:26:06.300
billionaire island vacation. I'm worried that Trudeau is actually the victim of compromat, which is the
00:26:13.660
Soviet term for compromising material. I'm not saying it's sexual. I'm saying it could well be
00:26:20.460
financial. And I'm not saying it's happening. But you have now a prime minister who is twice
00:26:26.380
officially in violation of the Ethics Act. And a third time looks pretty convincing that he's in
00:26:32.620
violation of the Ethics Act. I mean, did he, the one section that a lot of people in the press have
00:26:38.860
focused on is Section 6 of the Ethics Act, which says you can't take a direct personal benefit from
00:26:46.620
anyone you're doing business with in your government position. But there's Mario Dion, the
00:26:53.660
Ethics Commissioner, is looking at two other sections. And those say you cannot get involved in
00:26:59.100
decision making on issues that you have a personal interest in. And I think that it's easy to establish
00:27:07.020
Trudeau has sufficient personal interest, either directly or through his family members,
00:27:11.500
with the WE charities, that he should have absented himself from any discussion of this WE contract
00:27:18.300
and any vote. But he had admitted a day ago that he didn't do either of those things, that he did
00:27:24.620
participate in the debate at the cabinet, and he did vote. So I can't see how he avoids a third
00:27:32.300
conviction of violating the Ethics Act. And so does he open himself to speculation about the sorts of
00:27:39.020
things you've just mentioned? Yes, he does. Even if it's not true, a lot of people are going to wonder
00:27:44.620
about it, because he has shown himself to be so cavalier about those sorts of things on the three
00:27:49.820
instances he's been caught at. Yeah. Well, I find this very depressing. Last night, here at Rebel, we
00:27:57.020
watched the second English-language Conservative Party debate amongst Erin O'Toole, Derek Sloan,
00:28:03.420
and Leslyn Lewis. Peter McKay was not part of it. And although I have my affection for all three of
00:28:09.100
the candidates who were there, I got to be honest with you, Lauren, I didn't see in them someone who
00:28:14.060
would stop a second Trudeau or a third Trudeau win. And it leads me to be slightly depressed.
00:28:22.460
And you can bet that in the Liberal Party backrooms, they saw the same thing you did. And so they're
00:28:28.860
just licking their chops. Let's wait till this person is sworn in. Let's give them three or four
00:28:34.220
months. We'll manufacture some sort of confidence crisis in the House of Commons. We'll force the
00:28:40.860
NDP to vote against us by not giving in to the next ridiculous NDP demand. And we'll go to the country
00:28:49.500
and say, oh, you see why we need a majority? We have the conservatives and their nastiness
00:28:55.500
on the right. And we have the NDP and their lunacy on the left. You need us to be the steady hand on
00:29:02.700
the tiller. And they will probably win because people don't, people give a Trudeau a pass on
00:29:09.820
these ethics things. And they don't understand the economics any better than the Liberal Party does.
00:29:15.020
So they don't see the harm that will come from a $1.2 trillion national debt.
00:29:20.860
Yeah. It's hard to imagine anyone could be worse for Canada than than Pierre Trudeau. But I think in
00:29:29.580
his son, we have found that person. At least Pierre was smart. And, you know,
00:29:34.940
Pierre wanted to steal the money that the West was making off of oil, but he wanted the West to make
00:29:40.300
the money. Yeah. Yeah. Justin doesn't want us to make the money and he doesn't want to steal. I mean,
00:29:45.180
he doesn't want to pay the debt off. That's not a goal of his. He doesn't care to tax us. He wants us
00:29:51.980
to all become fair trade baristas and organic beekeepers rather than working oil and gas. I mean,
00:29:59.260
he's positively a lightweight. Yeah. Well, that's 2020. The year's just half done. And it is what
00:30:08.620
Queen Elizabeth would call an Annis Horribilis, who knows what's ahead in August. Great to see you,
00:30:14.460
Lauren. Thanks for joining us. All right. There you have it. Our good friend, Lauren Gunter,
00:30:18.620
senior columnist with the Edmonton Sun. I must say, I'm getting depressed. Stay with us more ahead.
00:30:29.260
Hey, welcome back on my monologue last night. Sherry writes,
00:30:39.660
Trudeau has a tough decision to make. Does he risk angering his China masters by calling out
00:30:43.740
their bullying or does he stand up for Canada? Yeah. I mean, I don't know where he's going to go
00:30:48.100
on that. He's so wedded to China. If you look at my book, China Virus, being pro-China is in the blood
00:30:54.320
of the entire Liberal Party. Every senior appointment is pro-China. Some of them worked
00:30:59.440
for China lobby groups. They can't un-China-fy the Liberal Party of Canada. And I don't even mean
00:31:06.640
by bringing in pro-democracy China hands. They just can't do that. I mean, there are a lot of great
00:31:13.600
pro-democracy, pro-liberty China activists, China experts, and even Chinese Canadians who,
00:31:19.760
the Taiwanese, Falun Gong, democracy activists, they just, you can't bring them into the Liberal
00:31:24.880
Party without purging the Beijing loyalists. It's really a big problem. Paul writes,
00:31:30.720
What will Trudeau do about China's recent threats? My bet is that he'll self-hide in his mansion again.
00:31:37.040
Yeah, yeah, he's trying that. On my interview with Mark Morano, Bruce writes,
00:31:41.680
As for NASA, it's a sad commentary that they've gone after political opportunities. Is there no field
00:31:46.560
of endeavor that isn't politicized? Soon, even the power companies will administer orthodoxy tests
00:31:51.360
before providing service to customers. You are so right. It is terrifying that these terms of service
00:31:57.760
for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, whatever, they're now bringing political tests. They're now bringing
00:32:04.480
political tests for what you do in real life, not even for what you do on their websites.
00:32:11.440
How long before banks do that? They're already doing it. How long before public utilities and
00:32:18.400
landlords do that? Well, we're about five minutes away from that, I think. Folks, that's our show for
00:32:23.440
today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
