The Liberals quietly extended their so-called gun buyback program at the last minute.
00:00:06.440
Are the wheels falling off the Liberals' gun control agenda?
00:00:11.320
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gun Show.
00:00:30.000
Two weeks ago, at really what appears to be the very last minute, the Liberals decided to extend their so-called amnesty period for gun owners who had not yet turned over their lawfully acquired firearms to the state for destruction after their firearms were just reclassified out of the ether through an order in council by the Liberal government.
00:00:56.060
And in May 2020, Justin Trudeau, apropos of a tragedy not involving lawful Canadian gun owners, decided to reclassify 1,500 models of Canadian shotguns and rifles, calling them assault-style weapons, which is really a word that means nothing.
00:01:17.340
It's completely undefined, and the Liberals like it that way, because that way you can continue to, as the Liberals did, shoehorn other models into the ban until, you know, now the ban approaches 2,000 models.
00:01:34.540
Well, the owners were supposed to, by the end of this month in 2023, turn over our firearms to the state, wherein the state would allegedly compensate us for the loss of our lawfully acquired property.
00:01:52.580
You can't buy back something you didn't own in the first place.
00:01:55.120
It was compensation for confiscation, as lawful Canadian gun owners were scapegoated for the crimes of other people, including the rising crime rates in Canada's urban municipalities.
00:02:08.560
And as you'll note, those urban municipalities are progressively run.
00:02:14.880
You know, name a major city in this country that isn't run by a progressive mayor.
00:02:20.240
Anyway, at the last minute, the Liberals decided to extend their buyback program, buyback program, to October 2025.
00:02:32.760
If these guns are so deadly, and people like me who may or may not own them are so dangerous, wouldn't you want to get them off the street right away?
00:02:41.080
Well, thanks to liberal ineptitude, they can't manage to figure it out.
00:02:45.100
So maybe we really aren't all that dangerous after all.
00:02:48.740
But this is just one way that the Liberals' gun control agenda is just coming apart at the seams.
00:02:57.420
So joining me today is good friend of Rebel News, good friend of the show, and good friend of the firearms community, Rick Igersich from Canada's National Firearms Association,
00:03:08.960
talking about, well, just the complete and total mess that the Liberals are making of gun control in this country.
00:03:17.200
And I think, frankly, we should be glad that they are so bad at it.
00:03:30.060
So joining me now is Rick Igersich with the National Firearms Association.
00:03:34.260
There's so much happening in gun news as the Liberals are letting things just ride right down to the wire.
00:03:39.800
And they're proposing new gun bans and they're banning guns just completely off the cuff.
00:03:47.880
And thanks for being such a good friend to Rebel News and to gun owners like myself.
00:03:51.860
I wanted to talk to you about this thing that sort of happened in the middle of last week regarding the Tavor.
00:04:06.140
At the end of the day, we got blindsided by the RCMP once again.
00:04:11.600
On October 25th, actually, on October 5th, the RCMP decided that they were going to ban another firearm.
00:04:23.060
And that firearm being Micro Tavor X95 MSW Carabine.
00:04:29.020
Okay, these guns were imported in Canada over the last 10 years.
00:04:38.380
We don't know the exact numbers because of privacy issues.
00:04:41.760
We have a rough idea, but there's several hundred of them out there.
00:04:46.260
But on October 5th, the owners of these firearms began receiving registration revocation letters prohibiting the firearm from the RCMP.
00:04:56.480
The RCMP, actually, on further review, and I just got this intelligence a few days ago, they're calling the firearm a machine gun now.
00:05:10.900
Which is a classic RCMP, in my opinion, a make-work project with the Liberals.
00:05:20.240
As I mentioned earlier, what we can tell, there were several hundred of these firearms sold.
00:05:30.140
With this registration revocation letter, the RCMP gave the owners of these firearms some options.
00:05:40.440
They didn't give them all the options, but they gave them a few.
00:05:42.940
The NFA actually gave them another option, which I'll get into a little later.
00:05:46.620
The first option was to turn the firearm into your local RCMP detachment for destruction with no compensation.
00:05:59.140
The second was to get the firearm deactivated and verified so you could possess it.
00:06:06.360
So that process involved sending the firearm to a person who could deactivate it,
00:06:12.400
and then it had to go to the firearm center in Ottawa to be verified that it was deactivated.
00:06:19.160
And in our opinion, in most cases, the firearm never would have been returned back to the owner
00:06:24.140
because how can you absolutely 100% deactivate a firearm?
00:06:33.900
The third option was to take it back to the store where you purchased it.
00:06:41.700
The firearm would be sent back to the wholesaler.
00:06:45.640
The wholesaler would give a store credit to the wholesale price of the firearm.
00:06:52.840
Not the retail price, but the wholesale price of the firearm.
00:06:56.260
Not cash back, but a store credit to the initial point of purchase.
00:07:00.000
The problem with that is some of these firearms changed hands two or three times.
00:07:05.240
So therefore, this was only available to the original purchaser.
00:07:11.180
The fourth option brings us at Canada's National Firearms into play.
00:07:18.400
We launched this out over all our social media platforms that if you contact us,
00:07:24.680
we can provide you with a package on how to file a Section 74 reference review.
00:07:30.920
This, in turn, extends the time that the firearms owner has to comply with the ultimatum from the RCMP.
00:07:41.500
And it also gives us time to delve deeper into this and possibly challenge this registration and revocation.
00:07:48.180
So anybody out there that has one of these firearms, please contact us.
00:07:58.240
And we will provide you with a package on how to go about filing a Section 74 reference review.
00:08:06.760
That will put your firearm basically in limbo for the time being until we can figure this out
00:08:16.420
In my opinion, this whole thing was another collaboration between the RCMP and the Liberal government
00:08:25.840
just to add another wedge issue to firearms owners.
00:08:30.960
So please, anybody that has one of these firearms out there, please contact us at blair at nfa.ca.
00:08:36.760
And we will provide you with a package on how to move forward with a Section 94 reference review.
00:08:43.700
And that will definitely prolong the time period from which you have to use one of the other three options.
00:08:52.520
So, Rick, explain this for non-gun owners, because this is something that gun owners have been dealing with for a long time.
00:09:00.440
This sort of stuff puts gun owners at odds with their friends in the RCMP because the RCMP brass and busybodies
00:09:08.200
in the RCMP bureaucracy have decided to just, outside of Parliament, reclassify a gun.
00:09:23.220
They're completely on the right side of the law.
00:09:25.160
They wake up in the morning and they're a criminal in possession of a prohibited weapon.
00:09:29.260
Explain to people how this can happen to a gun owner.
00:09:32.480
Because if this happened to any other piece of private property, there would be uproar.
00:09:37.460
But because this happens to guns and gun owners, nobody's, well, I won't say nobody seems to care.
00:09:42.720
But it seems to be a bit of a niche issue for a lot of the Canadian population.
00:09:52.240
One day you're out shooting gophers with your Ruger 10-22, with your 25-shot magazine,
00:10:00.260
The RCMP has been given more powers than I believe they need to have.
00:10:08.220
It's almost like they're, when the RCMP starts making laws, they're no longer a law enforcement body.
00:10:15.920
They're an agent for the government to create laws.
00:10:21.860
And in Canada, a police body doesn't make laws.
00:10:28.660
So how they do this, it's, again, it's the Liberal government giving them powers that should be going through Parliament
00:10:41.860
When a police force starts to make laws, the state becomes a police state,
00:10:57.580
And right now, in my opinion, the RCMP are acting like we are in a police state making these laws out of the blue.
00:11:04.360
Now, they do have powers as far as working with the government to make changes to the Firearms Act
00:11:16.100
But I believe stuff like this should be going through Parliament, not through the RCMP, not through a police force.
00:11:22.040
Yeah, I mean, this should be put to the people and it should be done by people that we can hold accountable during elections.
00:11:31.900
And some anti-gun bureaucrat somewhere in the RCMP is making laws affecting Canadian gun owners
00:11:40.680
and rendering our private property completely useless or of little to no value.
00:11:48.680
When you decommission a gun, where's its value?
00:11:53.560
You know, just like their order in council with a handgun freeze,
00:11:57.840
they basically made millions and millions of dollars worth of property worthless overnight.
00:12:02.540
It's just it's an extension of powers that I don't believe should be there.
00:12:09.760
We need at the end of the day, we need a government change.
00:12:13.780
And someone who will strip the bureaucrats and the RCMP of this power.
00:12:17.720
I know members of the RCMP who don't want the RCMP to have this power.
00:12:22.360
These are the guys tasked with enforcing bad laws and they don't want to do it.
00:12:28.680
And they end up being the face of bad decisions made by somebody in a cubicle somewhere who never
00:12:38.400
I want to talk to you about other bad liberal decisions.
00:12:45.340
The reclassification of 1500, although that quickly grew.
00:12:50.420
I think it's near 2000 models of Canadian shotguns and rifles.
00:13:00.040
They did it undemocratically through an order in council.
00:13:13.440
But the liberals, thankfully, their own ineptitude has resulted in this thing being pushed down
00:13:27.760
The first one, there was nothing in place, you know, no logistics.
00:13:33.840
There was nothing in place to start this alleged confiscation.
00:13:40.820
It's definitely to start this confiscation of firearms.
00:13:43.980
Number two, there was no money really allotted to do this because they really don't know how
00:13:48.860
much money they need because a lot of these firearms aren't registered.
00:13:53.240
And they really don't know how much money they really need.
00:13:57.480
The third issue was after SECU and Bill C-21 and the order in council in 71, it was actually
00:14:13.760
With that said, I know with our order in council case that the NFA is funding, we were advised
00:14:21.120
quite some time before that, that there will be an extension.
00:14:25.100
I know other groups filed an injunction, but our lawyer advised us not to because the injection,
00:14:31.760
Justice Cain and the federal crown had told them that there was an amnesty extension in place.
00:14:42.080
So at the NFA, we didn't want to waste any members' resources as far as filing an injunction
00:14:51.240
We sooner, you know, use the money where it can actually help reverse some of this stuff.
00:14:57.060
So that's why I just wanted to clarify, that's why the NFA didn't file an injunction.
00:15:00.880
It was on our lawyer's advice and on Justice Cain and the federal crown that there definitely
00:15:07.640
was going to be, there was going to be an extension put into place and all parties involved in
00:15:17.140
The big reason is, and again, I go back to the big reason is, the liberals have nothing
00:15:26.780
I know they're running into a few snags with a couple of the provinces, actually, Terry
00:15:33.220
Bryant and Rob Freeberg yesterday in SECD actually stated that, again, that they're not
00:15:40.980
going to use provincial resources to help them do this.
00:15:46.520
Those are two CFOs that are really pushing for on the right side of things and are really
00:15:52.680
And I, you know, I thank them both for doing what they're doing.
00:15:56.780
But at the end of the day, like I say, there's nothing in place to keep this going.
00:16:01.440
And the irony of this whole thing is also, if this amnesty, the current amnesty would have
00:16:12.400
expired, that would have left the liberals in a really awkward place because at the end
00:16:19.700
of the day, they probably would have had to withdrew the whole thing.
00:16:24.640
If it would have expired, I believe, you know, that the thing would have been null and void
00:16:32.300
So that was the other reason that it probably got extended.
00:16:37.660
You know, and they left it right down to the wire.
00:16:39.940
Like people were very concerned that they would have been criminals because they didn't turn
00:16:47.340
But there was no program in place for them to turn in their guns.
00:16:51.380
And it seemed like the liberals didn't care because we're just these people that would
00:16:57.740
You almost think they did that on purpose just to, you know, wind people up.
00:17:04.720
They knew what they were doing long before they extended the amnesty.
00:17:08.400
But I think it's part of their MO is to, you know, get people excited and thinking and,
00:17:19.400
But I think that's the way, and you know it just as well as I know it should, that's the
00:17:26.600
They bring anxiety up in people and then at the 11th hour, they change things.
00:17:46.680
That's how they justified the OIC, the Order and Council in the first place.
00:17:51.540
They pitted urban Canadians and Canadians who don't know anything about guns against people
00:17:56.660
who enjoy part of their hunting heritage and enjoy the lawful use and ownership of their
00:18:06.040
They made us the bad guys because they didn't want to deal with the real bad guys.
00:18:12.100
Well, you know, and at SECD, LeBlanc, he was talking in circles again yesterday too.
00:18:18.660
He just, you know, they put him in as the cleanup guy and he was talking in circles.
00:18:24.600
You know, he was bringing, he was bringing in the people of the North to, you know, that
00:18:33.020
there's, there's going to be a different rule for them and, you know, and then, you know,
00:18:37.080
maybe pass it on to the provinces and let the provinces decide how they're going to handle
00:18:41.180
this, this, these, this bill, this, this changes in the law.
00:18:47.900
He didn't, he didn't really know what he was talking about.
00:18:50.800
And, uh, in my opinion, anything he said wasn't credible.
00:18:55.220
You know, I, it's almost like he knows what's going on, but he doesn't.
00:18:58.600
That's the feeling I was getting with that said on a Thursday, November 2nd, I will be
00:19:06.900
Uh, I'm going to approach it a little different than everybody else does.
00:19:10.400
I'm going to approach it as a, as a, as a layman.
00:19:16.520
I'm going to, I'm going to speak to the Senate as somebody that this affects somebody on
00:19:21.300
the ground, somebody that, uh, that, you know, has heirlooms that are third generation
00:19:27.640
I'm going to put it, I'm going to put it to him as a layman because, uh, you know, we
00:19:32.660
get a bunch of, uh, academics and lawyers and stuff giving testimony.
00:19:37.000
And it just, I think in my opinion, it confuses the Senate.
00:19:43.440
And I'm willing to field any good questions they have for me because, you know, the, the,
00:19:48.560
the facts don't change and the facts don't lie.
00:19:52.100
You know, I'm, I'm so glad that you're going to approach it that way because, you know,
00:19:55.640
you can get caught up in, you know, the science of ballistics and, and crime studies, but none
00:20:02.720
of that has anything to do with me or you as a lawful user.
00:20:07.440
Uh, really, uh, we're not the ones committing the crimes.
00:20:10.780
It doesn't matter the ballistics of my heirloom firearm that my ancestors used to clear the
00:20:16.740
land and protect their livestock where I live today.
00:20:19.460
And I will not be able to give those to my children.
00:20:24.000
And there's, you know, to have somebody who's willing to communicate that on behalf of,
00:20:28.500
you know, just people like me, just normal people who just want to be able to hang on
00:20:38.220
I want to just circle back to Dominic LeBlanc's testimony here because, you know, you said
00:20:42.920
he was just sort of making things up as he went now, Dominic LeBlanc, the public safety
00:20:49.280
One thing he said was very, very true though, and it should frighten gun owners.
00:20:53.200
And it is the potential for not the potential, the promise of a future decree of more guns
00:21:04.620
So whatever happens with Bill C-21, whatever happens with the Ordering Council, the fight
00:21:09.980
is nowhere near done because no matter how many times the Liberals lose in court, how many
00:21:15.580
times they have to kick the can down the road of the compensation program, they're still
00:21:19.820
coming at us because this is part of who they are.
00:21:24.440
And there comes their Firearms Advisory Committee into play.
00:21:28.400
Now, this is supposedly supposed to be comprised of people from all parts of the government
00:21:43.520
I doubt very much they want to hear our opinion on this stuff.
00:21:47.400
Everybody knows at the end of the day, this is going to be comprised of bureaucrats, politicians,
00:21:51.800
and lawyers, and they're going to follow the Liberal wave without any input from people
00:22:03.520
But not women's groups that involve women like me, but women's groups who advocate for
00:22:11.580
You know, Rick, now that we're talking about this, I'm going to flip you some documents.
00:22:15.860
The show will go out on Wednesday, but I have a story going live today.
00:22:19.760
I got my hands on the communications strategy for Bill C-21 and their targeted social media
00:22:27.580
And guess who the first, like they had the groups divided into like primary, secondary,
00:22:33.860
and tertiary that the Liberals planned to communicate with.
00:22:41.260
Yeah, Polytechnic, LGBTQ organizations like EGAL, and women's groups.
00:22:56.160
They were trying to get the chiefs of police on side with them.
00:23:00.760
And it's funny how the people tasked with enforcing the bad law were the people that,
00:23:04.980
the second people they wanted to talk to, not the first.
00:23:08.180
And then the tertiary groups were the people they described as least affected by the messaging,
00:23:20.360
We were the third on their list of considerations.
00:23:24.000
We were just like a sort of like the pencil in.
00:23:33.620
You know, I've been at this for a little while now, and I've been finding that gun owners
00:23:42.140
from across Canada, law-abiding Canadians, are the Liberals' play toys.
00:23:51.480
When there's an election coming up, the big bad gun stuff comes out.
00:23:55.580
When they're down in the polls, the big bad gun stuff comes up.
00:23:59.900
On the other hand, sometimes they mess up like SECU, where they were put on the spot
00:24:07.500
and they were caught in a bunch of lies, and it works against them.
00:24:13.060
I don't know if you noticed or not, but the gun issue seems to go way down in the list,
00:24:16.800
which it has in the last few weeks after the changes were made,
00:24:22.640
after Mendocino got moved, after Pam Damoff was taken off public safety.
00:24:28.740
You know, and it's groups like ours that catch them in these lies, and we put it out there.
00:24:35.540
And that makes a big difference because we have a pretty extensive reach,
00:24:40.020
which now seems like we're being shadow banned.
00:24:44.120
Yeah, and, you know, lately we've been shadow banned, and, you know, with C-11 and C-18 coming into force,
00:24:52.420
it's hurting organizations that are actually getting the truth out there.
00:24:58.220
It's another containment ploy by the Liberals to control mainstream media.
00:25:06.460
You know, give mainstream media lots of money, and you've got a really good hold of them.
00:25:12.120
So I'm sure you guys at Rebel are seeing the same thing, Sheila.
00:25:16.720
And, you know, it's just, you know, it's hard these days to get the truth out.
00:25:25.540
I know, and I just want to mention this, and I know you guys are doing the same thing.
00:25:30.300
We're going to be offering a VPN so people can actually receive Canadian news through a different country.
00:25:38.120
It seems in today's world, it's the only way that we can get the word out because, like I say,
00:25:45.440
on our platforms, we're definitely being shadow banned.
00:25:49.380
And any news that we want to share, we can't share in Canada because of Bill C-11 and C-18.
00:25:57.140
So I don't know if you wanted to touch more on that, Sheila, but, you know, that's the crazy part of today's world.
00:26:02.280
Yeah, where can people find out more about your VPN? On the NFA website?
00:26:10.000
Yeah, we haven't put it out yet. This is kind of an early release.
00:26:14.700
We're just working on it, and we're just finalizing it right now.
00:26:17.140
It will be on the NFA website. It will be offered at a discounted price so people can hear the news.
00:26:24.060
Because I think, you know, it's just the way, this is, the world is a crazy place right now,
00:26:30.260
and Canada is a more crazy place, in my opinion.
00:26:32.780
And this is the only way we can reach people that can make a difference.
00:26:38.560
You know, every time we have one, every time I have one of these shows with you,
00:26:41.320
and, you know, I always say, you know, get out and vote and change the government.
00:26:47.480
We need to, you know, get the word out as far as law-abiding Canadians go.
00:26:58.480
Tell them what the government is doing to you, what the government is doing to, you know,
00:27:06.060
People need to sit down and start working on this.
00:27:08.420
And I know lately at the NFA, we've been getting a crazy number of calls from gun owners
00:27:15.040
and non-gun owners alike and saying, you know, what's going on with our personal property?
00:27:20.540
You know, we're on your platforms, and all of a sudden we're getting all these blanks
00:27:28.840
And, you know, we're inundated with calls about that stuff.
00:27:32.860
It's people like Rebel News that are getting the same thing, I'm sure, Sheila.
00:27:41.740
For example, I can't share a clip of my own work to my own Instagram page,
00:27:46.580
thanks to Justin Trudeau's attempted shakedown of Meta.
00:27:50.360
So, you know, and with all this stuff going on in the firearms world,
00:27:53.660
this information and, you know, this Tavor thing, it needs to get out.
00:27:57.040
But how do you get it out when you're getting blocked on every platform that you have?
00:28:02.980
You know, it's so hopefully this show gets out,
00:28:06.020
and hopefully people, you know, do put a VPN on their...
00:28:09.540
It's a sad state of affairs when you have to go through U.S. or Czechoslovakia to hear Canadian news.
00:28:18.580
And hopefully people will see that on our website,
00:28:21.760
and hopefully they'll get a VPN so they can actually hear what we're doing at the NFA
00:28:26.820
and hear what you people at Rebel News are doing.
00:28:30.040
You know, that's a good spot to wrap up the interview because, like you,
00:28:40.920
and that helps us get around Justin Trudeau's censorship.
00:28:44.100
But the only way for the NFA to be able to email you directly
00:28:47.360
is if you give them your email address and you sign up with them.
00:28:50.560
So tell people how they can support the work that you are doing at the NFA
00:28:56.380
on behalf of law-abiding Canadians all across this country.
00:29:06.940
Everything that you need to know about joining and helping and getting news,
00:29:14.940
When you join, you'll be getting that once a week.
00:29:26.260
We have a few paid employees, but most of the people are volunteers.
00:29:39.740
Like I say, your money is going towards the good fight.
00:29:42.800
You know, it's not, you know, our membership is growing at a crazy rate right now.
00:29:51.440
A lot of our members aren't even firearms owners, but they are joining us
00:29:56.700
because of the fight for the rights and freedoms of Canadians.
00:30:01.820
Another thing, like I said before, write a letter to your MP.
00:30:08.340
And number three, when this election finally does come about, get out and vote
00:30:19.200
Right now, if there were an election today, it'd be a conservative super majority.
00:30:23.940
So, you know, the Liberals are losing ground every day.
00:30:28.040
Please help them lose more ground and get into the fight.
00:30:35.240
I don't care who you vote for, just as long as you don't vote for a Liberal.
00:30:41.880
Well, Rick, thanks so much for coming on the show.
00:30:43.960
Thanks for the activism and hard work that you put in for families just like mine.
00:30:50.820
Seems like there's always something new to fight with Ottawa about.
00:30:59.080
Well, friends, we've come to the portion of the show wherein I invite your viewer feedback.
00:31:11.080
I say it every week, so I know if you're a regular viewer, it might get a little redundant.
00:31:14.560
But I actually care about what you think about the work that we do here at Rebel News.
00:31:19.740
And I appreciate your viewer feedback, even the bad stuff, because it gives me an opportunity
00:31:27.620
Sometimes the criticisms are valid and, you know, we can make things better.
00:31:32.940
And it also gives me an opportunity to tell you why I think the way that I do.
00:31:38.100
You know, if you have an opinion and you can't defend it, then it's maybe not an opinion at all,
00:31:45.100
but rather just an act of faith that you believe that way.
00:31:48.620
Um, and it's the reason I give out my email address right now.
00:31:54.780
Put gun show letters in the subject line so that I can find it easily.
00:31:58.500
Uh, because sometimes I do get upwards of like a hundred emails a day, depending on what sort
00:32:03.400
of controversial or sometimes nonsensical off the cuff thing that I said.
00:32:07.860
So anyways, gun show letters in the subject line, Sheila at RebelNews.com.
00:32:12.520
But also, if you are watching us on one of the free versions of the show on Rumble or
00:32:19.500
YouTube, first, let me thank you for sitting through the ads that helps us pay the bills
00:32:24.900
Um, but also, uh, leave a comment in the comment section.
00:32:30.780
Sometimes I get brave and go looking through the comment section over there for your viewer
00:32:37.120
Now, today's viewer feedback, it, it came to me as a gun show letter, but it really had
00:32:43.620
nothing to do with the show that I did last week.
00:32:49.500
Um, because it gives me an opportunity to answer a viewer question, which I have been seeing
00:32:58.920
So it comes to me from Steve and Steve says, well, Steve starts off with the, um, the HR
00:33:07.100
practice of putting the criticism in the middle of a compliment sandwich.
00:33:14.180
So anyway, let's, let's read Steve's letter to me.
00:33:25.080
I donated when you went overseas to drop off petition to help our country in trouble.
00:33:30.960
So that was when I went with Sarah Miller, our lawyer helping, uh, Pastor Art Poloski,
00:33:38.280
and we drafted a human rights complaint and we delivered it to Geneva, to the United Nations
00:33:44.340
human rights people, uh, to raise awareness about the plight of, uh, pastors and religious
00:33:52.700
So we did that, but it's all we could do, right?
00:33:56.080
Anyway, thank you for donating to help us do that.
00:34:04.900
It was just like, try to get from Edmonton all the way to Geneva, have a shower, wash the
00:34:12.120
airport grime off, uh, go to the United Nations, uh, film Sarah dropping it off, do a quick little
00:34:20.000
interview with Sarah, then go, uh, try to sleep a few hours, but that didn't work because I was
00:34:29.780
And then I called some people who were interested in my work while I was there.
00:34:34.460
And then I went and ran around the old part of Geneva, quite literally ran around.
00:34:40.500
But I went for a run to help me with the jet lag.
00:34:48.460
Um, but Steve asks a question that I have been seeing a lot of.
00:34:57.080
Now I keep getting calls from strange phone numbers saying,
00:35:01.000
Ezra Levant and Rebel News asked me to call you for money.
00:35:09.720
I get, I get a lot of emails about this, but have got no response.
00:35:17.100
See, there's the bottom part of the compliment sandwich with the criticism in the middle.
00:35:24.900
Anyway, uh, love your work and Rebel News, truthful news.
00:35:29.220
So if you are getting, uh, phone calls, uh, yes, those are, um, people who are reaching
00:35:36.220
out to you on behalf of us here at Rebel News, um, because they're, I mean, in the time of
00:35:43.980
Justin Trudeau's immense censorship, um, we want to make sure that we stay connected with
00:35:49.220
And if you like the work that we do, you know, we don't take any money from Justin Trudeau.
00:35:54.060
We rely on the support of our viewers at home to keep the lights on, to keep the gun show
00:35:58.820
going and to, um, help us in what I think is a bit of a ministry, like the real ministry of truth,
00:36:06.960
where the truth is actually the truth and not the lies, um, in, you know, in the story of Orwell.
00:36:13.000
So, um, yes, the, that those are legitimate people calling on behalf of Rebel News to say,
00:36:20.560
hey, if you like us, would you mind helping us to keep going?
00:36:23.840
And so, um, I'm glad that you reached out to me.
00:36:27.680
I'm glad I was able to, um, provide some clarity.
00:36:31.500
I know a lot of people are concerned because that's not something that we normally do.
00:36:35.180
Um, but you know, maybe you don't read all the emails, uh, that we send you.
00:36:42.300
And I understand I don't read all the emails we send me either.
00:36:49.960
Sometimes our emails end up in your spam folder.
00:36:53.200
And we just thought maybe we'll try a different way to talk to our, our friends and supporters.
00:37:00.380
I'm glad I could answer that question for you, Steve.
00:37:03.040
And thank you for your, uh, kind words about the work that we do here at Rebel News.
00:37:10.860
And I'm, I'm so also so glad that so many people are so protective of us, uh, that you would
00:37:16.000
reach out and say like, oh my gosh, there are people out there calling me and using your
00:37:22.580
And, uh, I, uh, that makes me happy that you are so protective of, of what we are and
00:37:34.160
I'll see everybody back here in the same time, in the same place next week.
00:37:37.280
And as always, don't let the government tell you that you've had too much to think.
