Transcript

00:00:00.000 I just got home from a nine-day cross-country tour, screening our latest documentary.
00:00:04.780 My filmmaking partner, Kian Simone, joins me tonight to talk about it.
00:00:07.940 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:00:30.000 In a vast land of untamed beauty, hidden within its borders lie stories of unwavering faith and resilience.
00:00:38.680 When the world was engulfed in fear,
00:00:41.520 COVID-19, which is causing all of the concern right now,
00:00:44.700 pastors faced an unimaginable trial.
00:00:47.740 They were wrongfully persecuted during the COVID-19 pandemic,
00:00:51.640 their voices silenced by oppressive measures.
00:00:54.460 And we realized something doesn't match up.
00:00:58.060 There's an agenda under the surface here.
00:01:00.460 I cannot abide under their wishes.
00:01:04.960 I cannot just abide this new norm, if you will.
00:01:08.740 In the face of adversity, they held on to their beliefs,
00:01:12.000 defending the sacred right to worship.
00:01:13.980 Out of this property, you Nazis! Out!
00:01:17.400 Join us on an extraordinary voyage across Canada
00:01:20.200 as we shine a light on the untold stories of these pastors
00:01:23.960 who were wrongfully persecuted during COVID-19.
00:01:27.100 Witness their courage, their unwavering faith,
00:01:30.580 and their determination to reclaim their voices in the face of adversity.
00:01:34.420 I'm not going to let those who are in Ottawa determine my peace, my joy.
00:01:39.600 You're disobedient to the government or disobedient to God, and take your pick.
00:01:43.240 This summer, embark on an unforgettable exploration through Church Under Fire,
00:01:51.000 Canada's War on Christianity,
00:01:53.220 a documentary that will inspire and challenge your perceptions.
00:01:57.080 Experience their remarkable stories,
00:01:59.620 a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of faith.
00:02:03.220 I just got home Monday morning so that I could finish the cross-country tour
00:02:31.660 of our latest documentary here in Edmonton with a very successful sold-out screening
00:02:37.660 at Church in the Vine in Edmonton.
00:02:41.300 You see, we've been touring our documentary,
00:02:43.900 Church Under Fire, Canada's War on Christianity,
00:02:46.760 and we've been taking it to the congregations that survived this very dark time.
00:02:53.920 And I say survived, but as it turns out, they thrived.
00:02:57.540 Our documentary details the persecution of Christian churches
00:03:03.800 in the name of public health.
00:03:06.920 And we set it up so that you can understand that the persecution of churches
00:03:13.020 and the pastors who went to jail for not turning away their congregations,
00:03:16.700 it didn't happen in a bubble.
00:03:18.060 There was a lead up wherein Justin Trudeau picked away at religious freedom
00:03:24.700 and stigmatized Christians until it became socially acceptable
00:03:29.600 to haul pastors away in handcuffs because they were singing or giving communion
00:03:35.500 or not turning away congregants to meet an arbitrary government gathering restriction.
00:03:42.780 And we've been warmly received.
00:03:45.120 We've had sold-out showings all across the country.
00:03:48.240 Regina, Winnipeg, Calgary, Calgary, Edmonton, St. John, Ottawa, Toronto,
00:03:54.700 Aylmer, Ontario.
00:03:56.840 So it's just been incredible.
00:03:58.920 It's been heartwarming, but it is still hard to watch this documentary over and over again.
00:04:05.280 And I've seen it dozens of times.
00:04:06.800 Heck, I'm in it.
00:04:08.260 But it's an important story that needs to be told.
00:04:11.520 And we're not done touring the documentary.
00:04:14.620 But I thought I would bring Kian on with me today
00:04:19.160 to discuss the reception of the documentary,
00:04:22.780 what it's like touring this thing,
00:04:24.580 how you can get your own copy going forward,
00:04:29.620 how you can get some of the exclusive merch,
00:04:33.900 and how perhaps you might want to bring this documentary
00:04:39.280 to your own community and host your own screening.
00:04:42.560 So joining me now in an interview we recorded just moments ago
00:04:46.360 is my friend, colleague, and filmmaking partner, Kian Simone.
00:04:50.420 Take a listen.
00:04:50.860 So joining me now is my friend and colleague,
00:05:00.280 Rebel News Head of Documentaries,
00:05:01.980 and my documentary filmmaking partner, Kian Simone.
00:05:05.100 We both just came back from an incredibly grueling,
00:05:09.340 I would even call it oppressive,
00:05:10.960 documentary tour schedule
00:05:13.440 where we brought our documentary,
00:05:15.480 Church Under Fire, Canada's War on Christianity,
00:05:17.580 to venues all across the country,
00:05:19.080 including to the congregations,
00:05:22.100 many of them who are featured in the documentary
00:05:25.300 and who lived through it.
00:05:26.840 So I thought I would have Kian come back on the show
00:05:29.320 so we can talk about the reception of the documentary
00:05:31.920 and the most asked question at our screenings,
00:05:36.420 how do we get our hands on this documentary
00:05:38.840 to show our friends.
00:05:40.360 So, Kian, thanks for coming on the show.
00:05:42.900 I am still not recovered.
00:05:44.620 I still feel car sick.
00:05:46.680 I feel car sick.
00:05:48.080 I don't know if I'm jet-lagged or hungry.
00:05:51.820 I'm having difficulty sleeping
00:05:53.520 because we were never in a time zone long enough to adjust
00:05:56.420 and we were taking really early morning flights
00:05:58.880 to make sure that we got to the venues on time
00:06:00.720 and to also save money, to be quite honest.
00:06:05.180 But it was exciting, right?
00:06:06.540 Like, it was long.
00:06:08.140 It was like nine days on the road
00:06:09.940 and it started even before that
00:06:12.660 because we did two showings in Calgary where you are,
00:06:15.160 but I had to travel for those
00:06:16.320 before we started our cross, cross, cross, cross,
00:06:19.720 cross-country tour.
00:06:21.760 What did you think?
00:06:23.420 You know, that was probably one of the coolest things
00:06:26.320 I've ever done in my life.
00:06:28.440 There was times, I think, every single day
00:06:31.900 where in the morning we'd get up at 5 a.m. Eastern time,
00:06:35.060 so 3 a.m. our time,
00:06:36.500 after like a wild night before.
00:06:40.220 And I was just like, it really hurt
00:06:42.380 and it really sucked.
00:06:43.460 And then the instant gratification, I guess I would say,
00:06:48.180 of that night seeing 300, 400 people's faces
00:06:51.540 and seeing all of our supporters,
00:06:54.360 it really made it all worth it.
00:06:56.120 It was, again, I think that was one of the best
00:06:59.120 and the coolest things I've ever done in my life.
00:07:01.940 Me too.
00:07:02.800 It was hard, but I was kind of sad to see it over.
00:07:05.500 Yeah.
00:07:06.780 You know, just weird feeling.
00:07:08.940 We wrapped up the first leg of the documentary showings
00:07:12.080 in Edmonton on Monday night
00:07:14.360 to just an absolutely phenomenal reception
00:07:17.220 from Church in the Vine.
00:07:18.320 The biggest Rebel News history in documentary showings.
00:07:22.480 Was it?
00:07:22.960 Yeah.
00:07:23.440 Yes, yes, it was.
00:07:24.380 I think they had over 500 people in their venue.
00:07:28.780 Pastor Tracy and Rodney Fortin,
00:07:30.760 they're featured in the documentary
00:07:31.960 because Pastor Tracy and Church in the Vine
00:07:35.500 received an $80,000 regulatory offense penalty
00:07:39.720 for not allowing occupational health
00:07:43.260 and safety inspectors into the church
00:07:46.060 because Alberta Health Services couldn't weasel their way in.
00:07:49.600 So they started wanting to inspect the church
00:07:51.920 as though it were a work site.
00:07:53.120 But, I mean, that was, I was sad, tired for sure
00:07:58.040 because we had just flown back from Winnipeg in the morning
00:08:00.200 but kind of sad to see it end
00:08:02.340 but it really ended on a high note
00:08:03.860 because the reception was so warm
00:08:05.760 and the people were so,
00:08:08.000 I think they were touched
00:08:09.600 by the care that you took in telling their story.
00:08:14.080 Yeah, I think that definitely really clicked in.
00:08:17.080 You know, in Manitoba, I think it clicked in too
00:08:19.500 but it was really Edmonton seeing, you know,
00:08:22.600 it wasn't just a few people from the congregation.
00:08:25.200 There was probably literally all 350
00:08:28.240 or however many people that they have
00:08:29.940 at the church who were all there.
00:08:32.640 And we kind of, it's funny when we were on tour,
00:08:34.760 we kind of judged reception by
00:08:36.760 if people clapped between the chapters
00:08:39.200 or if they clapped at certain things
00:08:40.700 or if they laughed at certain things.
00:08:42.020 and we've both now watched this documentary many times
00:08:44.860 so we know what's coming
00:08:45.760 and I just kind of see like which city
00:08:48.380 kind of liked which part
00:08:49.500 and Edmonton liked everything.
00:08:52.100 Like they, it was like,
00:08:53.300 it really was just universal
00:08:56.180 of all the shows into one of just everybody
00:09:00.280 and not enjoying but enjoying?
00:09:04.000 Does that make sense?
00:09:05.140 Maybe it doesn't make sense to people watching
00:09:06.660 but it might make sense to you.
00:09:08.300 You always say you're not going to enjoy this documentary
00:09:10.620 at the start of every show.
00:09:12.840 So just watch it.
00:09:13.980 But I think everybody there watched it.
00:09:17.660 Yeah.
00:09:18.240 Yeah, I agree.
00:09:19.120 And that's it.
00:09:19.980 That is true.
00:09:20.540 I do say,
00:09:21.760 normally I say please enjoy our documentary
00:09:24.140 before we start rolling
00:09:26.040 but frankly people don't enjoy this documentary
00:09:29.360 because it is so dark
00:09:30.700 and it is so painful to watch.
00:09:33.900 I had a lifelong friend who was at the show.
00:09:36.480 Hi Tara, if you're watching.
00:09:38.480 And she was crying
00:09:40.320 before we got through the introduction
00:09:41.700 of the documentary.
00:09:45.540 And, you know,
00:09:47.240 there are times that where I sort of feel
00:09:48.820 a little bit tight in my chest
00:09:50.280 as you see these pastors
00:09:52.360 ripped away from their families.
00:09:54.440 And so people,
00:09:55.440 they don't enjoy the documentary
00:09:57.060 but it's important that people see it.
00:10:01.120 And Ezra always says
00:10:02.620 that he is left viscerally angry
00:10:05.280 every time he sees it.
00:10:07.400 And, you know,
00:10:09.480 I think that anger is not a bad thing.
00:10:11.800 It's a useful thing
00:10:12.620 if you use it
00:10:13.560 to make sure this never happens again.
00:10:16.980 Yeah, I don't know if you noticed
00:10:17.780 but I never stayed inside the venue
00:10:20.700 when Pastor Phil was up.
00:10:22.800 Yeah.
00:10:23.400 I always either.
00:10:24.360 And if I was,
00:10:25.100 I had my back turned.
00:10:26.360 I can't watch that one.
00:10:28.380 I made the damn thing
00:10:29.400 and I can't watch it.
00:10:31.120 Yeah.
00:10:32.280 It's Phil's kids at the door.
00:10:36.360 And, you know,
00:10:37.360 I was talking to Phil's family.
00:10:38.440 I don't think I'm talking at a turn
00:10:39.460 but his youngest was pretty little
00:10:41.680 when he was arrested
00:10:45.460 and held in solitary confinement
00:10:47.300 for seven days
00:10:48.200 for the crime of
00:10:49.020 not turning away his congregants.
00:10:51.840 And because she was so little,
00:10:54.880 she didn't remember all of it.
00:10:57.160 And it was,
00:10:58.380 she was really seeing it
00:10:59.880 with her family
00:11:00.940 for the first time
00:11:02.800 and sort of understanding
00:11:04.100 what had happened
00:11:05.000 to her dad
00:11:06.020 during that week.
00:11:07.960 I guess it was almost
00:11:08.740 two years ago now
00:11:09.740 where he was,
00:11:11.120 you know,
00:11:11.600 held like a prisoner
00:11:12.820 in St. John Prison.
00:11:17.680 That's
00:11:18.160 moving on.
00:11:19.760 I can't do it.
00:11:21.320 I know.
00:11:21.760 I know.
00:11:22.540 It's tough.
00:11:23.640 And yeah,
00:11:23.960 like you say,
00:11:24.480 we've seen it
00:11:25.080 dozens and dozens of times.
00:11:27.500 Now,
00:11:28.260 I want to talk to you
00:11:30.040 about one of the things
00:11:31.220 that people
00:11:31.860 constantly ask us about.
00:11:34.060 They even ask us
00:11:34.760 before they've even seen the movie,
00:11:36.120 which is kind of weird
00:11:37.400 because I'm like,
00:11:38.100 I don't know
00:11:39.140 if you're going to want to share it,
00:11:40.780 but thank you
00:11:41.680 for your confidence in us.
00:11:43.020 But people want to know
00:11:44.720 how they can see
00:11:45.640 this documentary
00:11:46.300 in the future
00:11:47.960 because they sort of leave
00:11:49.760 wanting to evangelize
00:11:52.580 this documentary
00:11:53.580 to their friends
00:11:54.280 and family
00:11:54.740 who may be on
00:11:56.540 just a little bit
00:11:57.160 too much CBC
00:11:57.960 or maybe heard about
00:12:01.000 Pastor Art
00:12:01.800 because how he was,
00:12:03.760 you know,
00:12:04.260 frequently featured
00:12:05.120 on Fox News
00:12:05.820 but didn't really know
00:12:06.860 the story of Pastor Phil
00:12:08.860 and the heartbreak
00:12:09.680 that befell his family
00:12:10.880 or Pastor Tobias
00:12:11.760 or some of the other congregations
00:12:13.700 and they're kind of shocked
00:12:15.520 and they want to tell other people.
00:12:17.400 So what are the ways
00:12:18.260 that people can do that?
00:12:19.520 Yeah.
00:12:19.800 Well, I mean,
00:12:20.360 we definitely made it,
00:12:21.620 as you say,
00:12:22.160 for a space alien.
00:12:23.780 You don't have to know
00:12:24.960 anything about anything
00:12:26.100 to be able to watch this.
00:12:27.840 So that's good for the viewers
00:12:30.520 now to listen about
00:12:31.560 sharing it to their friends
00:12:32.680 and family.
00:12:33.800 You don't need to have
00:12:34.900 that precursor
00:12:35.700 or that sit down with them
00:12:36.660 and kind of explain things.
00:12:37.800 You can really just put it
00:12:38.800 in their hands
00:12:39.260 and let them watch.
00:12:41.080 I think it's,
00:12:42.340 at the end of next week,
00:12:43.260 we'll have DVDs ready to go
00:12:44.520 so we can buy those
00:12:45.760 on Rebel News Store.
00:12:47.620 I'd say those are probably
00:12:48.580 more of a gift
00:12:49.320 than something to give
00:12:51.180 your grandson
00:12:51.820 or something to watch
00:12:52.680 because you won't know
00:12:53.320 how to watch it.
00:12:54.620 But we're also at the,
00:12:56.640 hopefully at the end
00:12:57.220 of this week,
00:12:57.920 if not the start of next week,
00:12:59.360 we'll have it up
00:13:00.700 on Rebel News
00:13:02.860 so that it can be purchased
00:13:04.060 individually
00:13:04.580 and as well
00:13:06.080 on Rebel News Plus.
00:13:07.820 I think the purchase
00:13:09.140 individually
00:13:09.660 is really important
00:13:10.500 because that
00:13:11.360 can be shared
00:13:12.500 or that can be bought
00:13:13.720 for other people
00:13:14.500 and so that they can
00:13:16.420 really just press play
00:13:17.320 and watch it.
00:13:20.120 Am I missing anything?
00:13:21.640 We'll be licensing it
00:13:22.760 to churches
00:13:23.240 and stuff like that,
00:13:25.240 like giving it
00:13:26.340 to mega churches
00:13:27.100 and letting them
00:13:28.320 kind of play it
00:13:29.940 for their congregations
00:13:30.980 and stuff like that,
00:13:31.720 which I think
00:13:32.120 is really important.
00:13:36.460 Oh,
00:13:37.080 in distribution,
00:13:39.020 I'll tell the story
00:13:39.760 that I tell everybody
00:13:40.420 in the crowd is,
00:13:41.200 I knew that this was,
00:13:44.160 I don't want to say good,
00:13:45.540 but it's good.
00:13:46.980 It's great.
00:13:47.660 It's a good documentary.
00:13:48.360 It's great.
00:13:49.080 I'm really proud of it.
00:13:50.300 It's a bad,
00:13:51.040 it's bad,
00:13:51.600 but it's good.
00:13:52.640 Bad in the sense
00:13:53.520 of the context
00:13:54.380 of what's in it.
00:13:56.080 So I knew that America,
00:13:56.980 we knew,
00:13:58.100 the whole Rebel News
00:13:59.220 knew that this was something
00:14:00.300 that America needed to see.
00:14:03.780 So I started calling
00:14:04.940 or Googling
00:14:06.000 how to play your movie
00:14:07.320 in America.
00:14:08.520 Nothing really came up.
00:14:09.720 But after that,
00:14:11.360 I found a way
00:14:12.140 to basically get it up
00:14:14.480 on things like Amazon Prime
00:14:15.820 and Hulu and HBO.
00:14:17.100 Like I was wondering
00:14:17.680 how you kind of do that
00:14:18.740 and you need a,
00:14:20.420 what's called an aggravator.
00:14:21.840 So it's a distributor,
00:14:23.000 it's a distributor in America.
00:14:25.600 So I called for
00:14:26.820 and I got answers
00:14:28.760 from all of them.
00:14:29.800 And before they even let me
00:14:31.600 give the context
00:14:32.460 of the documentary,
00:14:33.620 they said no,
00:14:34.980 just because I'm Canadian.
00:14:37.000 But, you know,
00:14:37.860 I want to be mad,
00:14:38.900 but I kind of understand.
00:14:40.580 It's America, right?
00:14:41.840 That's where all the movies
00:14:42.780 come from.
00:14:44.560 And then I called the fifth
00:14:45.480 and you have 15 seconds
00:14:47.340 to pitch your movie.
00:14:48.740 And I've never done that before.
00:14:49.920 So maybe the first four
00:14:50.760 were just,
00:14:51.240 maybe it was bad.
00:14:52.560 But on the fifth one,
00:14:53.600 I kind of got
00:14:54.180 just really frustrated.
00:14:55.340 So I didn't even pitch
00:14:56.360 the documentary.
00:14:57.020 I said,
00:14:57.420 I know you're American
00:14:58.580 and I know America
00:14:59.680 likes to hear about
00:15:00.460 other people's problems
00:15:01.300 more than they like
00:15:01.980 to hear about their own.
00:15:02.920 And he laughed.
00:15:03.720 And then he said,
00:15:05.460 okay,
00:15:05.740 tell me about your movie.
00:15:08.040 So I told him
00:15:08.800 about the Canadian Pastors
00:15:10.120 and I just kind of went
00:15:11.020 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
00:15:12.220 probably 20 seconds
00:15:13.820 of just spewing it out.
00:15:16.500 And he stopped me
00:15:17.500 and he said,
00:15:18.060 you're Kean, right?
00:15:19.020 And I said,
00:15:19.780 yes.
00:15:20.360 I never gave him my name.
00:15:22.220 And he said,
00:15:22.720 you made an amazing documentary.
00:15:24.220 I've already seen your trailer.
00:15:25.900 And he said,
00:15:26.820 yes,
00:15:27.080 I would like to
00:15:28.040 take this on.
00:15:29.700 And so that was great
00:15:30.860 because he saw Rebel News
00:15:32.340 on Fox News.
00:15:34.540 And he said,
00:15:35.240 I would have never known
00:15:36.020 if it was for you guys.
00:15:36.900 So he's already a fan.
00:15:38.180 He's already been on our website
00:15:39.460 looking at our trailer
00:15:41.140 and stuff like that.
00:15:42.020 So it was just so cool.
00:15:43.880 It was so cool.
00:15:44.600 I'd like to take credit,
00:15:45.900 but really all I did
00:15:46.640 was call him
00:15:47.280 and he answered.
00:15:50.100 So it was really awesome.
00:15:51.440 So I think with that,
00:15:53.920 hopefully that,
00:15:55.360 maybe it doesn't mean
00:15:56.220 theaters in the States
00:15:57.140 because we are competing
00:15:58.920 with some really big,
00:16:01.100 like at that point,
00:16:02.280 we literally are competing
00:16:03.760 with Oppenheimer and Barbie.
00:16:06.420 Right.
00:16:07.060 And Mission Impossible.
00:16:08.240 Like that,
00:16:09.080 that's big.
00:16:11.360 And I wouldn't expect
00:16:12.660 the theaters who,
00:16:14.160 as the distributor says,
00:16:15.360 the theaters are
00:16:16.360 in the business
00:16:16.980 of business in America.
00:16:18.660 They're not going to take down
00:16:19.760 an Oppenheimer screen
00:16:20.540 to put this up.
00:16:21.480 But that does not
00:16:23.000 leave us with no hope
00:16:24.380 because my mission
00:16:26.660 or job with this
00:16:27.440 is to make sure
00:16:28.040 it gets into the house
00:16:28.900 of every American.
00:16:30.800 I'm not too worried
00:16:32.460 about bringing people
00:16:33.420 out of their house
00:16:34.020 to the theater for this.
00:16:36.760 So we'll get it.
00:16:40.060 Now,
00:16:41.040 one of the other questions
00:16:42.500 we get is
00:16:43.380 perk fulfillment
00:16:44.240 because we
00:16:45.100 found,
00:16:46.440 we funded this movie
00:16:47.480 in a different way
00:16:48.560 than we funded
00:16:49.240 our other documentary projects.
00:16:50.880 Usually we just say,
00:16:51.900 hey,
00:16:52.140 we're making this documentary.
00:16:53.780 Wouldn't you mind
00:16:54.520 helping us
00:16:55.220 because this is a story
00:16:57.060 that nobody else
00:16:57.800 is going to tell?
00:16:58.940 And we made that same ask,
00:17:01.660 but we did it
00:17:02.480 a little differently
00:17:03.120 because we wanted people
00:17:04.140 to feel invested in this
00:17:06.360 because a lot of people
00:17:07.320 did also live through this
00:17:09.160 simultaneously
00:17:10.620 with their pastors.
00:17:12.700 And so we wanted
00:17:14.020 to give Canadians
00:17:16.140 kind of ownership
00:17:17.320 over the documentary
00:17:18.520 the same way we did.
00:17:19.500 So when we asked
00:17:21.520 for money
00:17:21.960 or when people
00:17:22.500 made donations,
00:17:23.280 we offered them perks
00:17:24.500 at different levels
00:17:25.700 depending on how much
00:17:26.600 they donated.
00:17:27.860 So one of the questions
00:17:29.660 we get is
00:17:30.220 when am I getting my stuff?
00:17:32.740 So give us an update
00:17:34.320 on that.
00:17:34.960 So the most universal
00:17:36.240 no matter how much
00:17:37.120 you gave
00:17:38.220 is you get a copy
00:17:39.040 of the movie.
00:17:40.140 So when we start,
00:17:41.260 when we put it up
00:17:41.980 for people to buy,
00:17:43.200 you'll get your free version
00:17:44.120 or the version
00:17:44.880 that you already paid for.
00:17:46.740 T-shirts,
00:17:47.420 we,
00:17:47.560 most people probably know
00:17:49.560 that we already have
00:17:50.660 T-shirts up on the site
00:17:51.700 for the official
00:17:52.840 documentary T-shirt
00:17:53.920 and sweaters
00:17:55.620 and stuff like that.
00:17:56.340 But we're making
00:17:57.160 a special one
00:17:57.800 for the people
00:17:58.540 who donated.
00:17:59.580 So that should
00:18:00.660 actually be done
00:18:01.380 tomorrow.
00:18:03.640 I'll make sure
00:18:04.420 that we get one,
00:18:05.180 Sheila,
00:18:05.440 because they're
00:18:05.760 pretty darn cool.
00:18:07.760 So we'll get that
00:18:09.780 bundled with the DVD
00:18:11.540 for the people
00:18:12.140 who got the DVD package.
00:18:14.080 If not,
00:18:14.660 then the T-shirt
00:18:15.180 will go out
00:18:15.740 probably next week
00:18:16.760 when everything
00:18:17.300 starts getting shipped out
00:18:18.420 because we need
00:18:18.680 to wait for the DVDs.
00:18:20.300 The idea was
00:18:21.300 to not
00:18:22.020 just send
00:18:23.480 certain people
00:18:24.300 certain things
00:18:25.060 when we get it.
00:18:26.040 I think I just
00:18:27.300 made the call
00:18:27.780 to when we get
00:18:28.500 everything,
00:18:29.160 let's just ship it
00:18:29.900 out to everybody
00:18:30.520 at that time.
00:18:31.260 Great.
00:18:31.940 So just so people
00:18:32.760 aren't upset
00:18:34.120 that the T-shirt's
00:18:35.080 not ready
00:18:35.420 but they got the DVD.
00:18:36.700 I think
00:18:37.440 if I donated
00:18:38.920 money to a documentary,
00:18:40.160 I would want to
00:18:40.640 open up a big box
00:18:41.500 with all my goodies.
00:18:42.580 Yeah.
00:18:42.860 So I figured
00:18:43.680 that people would
00:18:44.720 appreciate that more.
00:18:45.500 So hopefully
00:18:46.660 by the end of July
00:18:47.600 it would be shipped
00:18:48.480 to you.
00:18:49.520 I don't want to
00:18:50.160 make any promises
00:18:51.180 for Canada Post
00:18:52.860 but it's coming.
00:18:56.380 We're almost finished.
00:18:58.520 That's great.
00:18:59.420 And you know,
00:19:00.060 you touched on the merch
00:19:00.880 there and I'm wearing
00:19:02.200 one of the shirts,
00:19:04.440 hoodies,
00:19:05.640 and it has
00:19:06.440 John 832
00:19:08.140 on the sleeve.
00:19:09.220 This is some
00:19:10.820 of the best merch
00:19:11.540 that I think
00:19:12.080 we've ever created
00:19:12.880 here at Rebel News.
00:19:14.620 I think it is on par
00:19:16.160 with the ungovernable merch
00:19:17.820 which you appear
00:19:20.100 to live in.
00:19:22.640 It's my favorite.
00:19:24.460 Yeah, me too.
00:19:25.660 It's universal,
00:19:26.880 the ungovernable merch.
00:19:28.100 But this is some
00:19:28.940 great stuff.
00:19:29.940 It looks a little
00:19:31.000 bit different
00:19:31.780 aesthetically
00:19:32.680 than some of the
00:19:34.320 other merch
00:19:34.800 that you'll find
00:19:35.300 in rebelnewsstore.com.
00:19:38.480 It's beautiful.
00:19:40.100 And you know,
00:19:41.140 if you are
00:19:41.740 able to see us,
00:19:43.180 friends at home,
00:19:44.660 at one of the screenings,
00:19:46.540 we do generally
00:19:47.440 try to have merch
00:19:48.240 with us
00:19:48.880 and once you see it,
00:19:49.920 I mean,
00:19:50.240 it's just flying
00:19:51.060 off the tables
00:19:51.800 because it's
00:19:52.740 beautiful.
00:19:54.100 Why,
00:19:54.740 I'll ask you
00:19:55.620 because your hands
00:19:56.400 are sort of
00:19:56.940 intrinsically involved
00:19:58.100 in everything,
00:19:58.880 why is this merch
00:19:59.500 just a little bit
00:20:00.020 different than the
00:20:00.540 other stuff
00:20:00.900 that we've done?
00:20:01.680 Yeah, you know,
00:20:02.720 we have
00:20:03.360 one of our
00:20:04.920 executive producers
00:20:05.840 of the movie
00:20:06.580 donated a lot
00:20:08.280 of money.
00:20:08.760 He's a great,
00:20:09.280 they're a great couple.
00:20:11.080 Yeah.
00:20:11.540 A great couple
00:20:12.200 and I had a Zoom
00:20:13.280 call with them
00:20:13.900 and they both
00:20:15.300 had their,
00:20:16.900 it really,
00:20:17.840 you have your T-shirt
00:20:18.840 and then you have
00:20:19.340 like a square
00:20:19.860 just like this
00:20:20.560 and it's just
00:20:20.960 something super
00:20:21.500 controversial
00:20:22.040 and funny
00:20:22.640 and kind of get
00:20:23.380 like double looks
00:20:24.180 from people
00:20:24.820 or maybe it's
00:20:25.920 just a rebel
00:20:26.380 but they had
00:20:26.840 theirs on
00:20:27.300 and it just clicked
00:20:30.300 and I was like,
00:20:31.640 you know,
00:20:32.080 they would wear
00:20:32.600 that shirt
00:20:33.080 because they're,
00:20:33.760 you know,
00:20:33.920 super mega fans
00:20:34.860 they want to be
00:20:35.660 a part of this
00:20:36.320 and they just,
00:20:36.880 they definitely
00:20:37.460 put the shirt on
00:20:38.080 just to show support
00:20:39.140 because they were
00:20:39.580 getting on a Zoom
00:20:40.120 call with me
00:20:40.700 and I just thought,
00:20:42.960 I was like,
00:20:44.240 what about the people
00:20:44.940 who do support rebel
00:20:46.060 and don't want to
00:20:46.780 wear controversial shirts
00:20:47.820 or don't want to
00:20:49.760 wear something
00:20:50.220 that just,
00:20:50.940 that says rebel
00:20:51.780 just because they
00:20:53.360 don't want that,
00:20:54.200 you know,
00:20:55.060 altercation in the Costco
00:20:56.240 and I was thinking
00:20:58.080 and I spoke to our
00:20:59.220 person who kind of
00:21:00.620 does the,
00:21:01.820 like,
00:21:02.180 I kind of give the ideas
00:21:03.160 and then Danny
00:21:03.760 who is our graphic
00:21:04.460 designer kind of
00:21:05.160 does the designs
00:21:05.900 and I told her,
00:21:06.940 I was like,
00:21:07.280 let's do something
00:21:08.140 really different.
00:21:09.720 Like,
00:21:09.860 let's do something
00:21:10.440 that my aunt
00:21:11.960 who's not a rebel
00:21:13.160 supporter would wear,
00:21:14.140 who would buy,
00:21:14.820 who I could give her
00:21:15.820 a t-shirt and she
00:21:16.440 would wear it
00:21:17.000 and so we just
00:21:19.420 kind of came up
00:21:20.040 with this,
00:21:20.620 you know,
00:21:20.780 let's at least
00:21:21.160 keep it a little
00:21:21.700 bit freedom oriented
00:21:22.560 so that there is
00:21:23.740 a little bit
00:21:24.160 of a hint
00:21:24.560 so I think
00:21:25.120 John 8.32,
00:21:27.040 I think that's the,
00:21:28.240 is that truth?
00:21:29.440 You shall know
00:21:29.840 the truth and truth
00:21:30.400 shall set you free?
00:21:31.020 Yes.
00:21:31.940 See,
00:21:32.240 I'm learning.
00:21:33.900 So,
00:21:34.440 so it does have
00:21:35.540 that freedom
00:21:37.700 oriented symbol
00:21:39.760 to it
00:21:40.220 and at the same time
00:21:41.500 anybody can wear it
00:21:42.560 and it's cool,
00:21:43.380 it's really cool,
00:21:44.240 it's hip
00:21:44.900 but at the same time
00:21:46.140 it's so simple
00:21:47.000 so it's
00:21:48.520 old people,
00:21:49.820 young people
00:21:50.420 and I'm not even
00:21:51.480 Christian and I wear it,
00:21:52.580 it's like,
00:21:53.200 it's cool.
00:21:54.940 Yeah,
00:21:55.540 yeah,
00:21:55.820 I love it.
00:21:56.980 Now you touched on,
00:21:58.640 you used the word
00:21:59.400 executive producer
00:22:00.760 and that's one of the things
00:22:03.160 I'm really proud of
00:22:03.960 about this documentary
00:22:04.820 is at the end
00:22:05.600 of the documentary
00:22:06.580 there's just
00:22:08.920 hundreds of names
00:22:11.260 of people
00:22:12.280 who are listed
00:22:13.600 at the end
00:22:14.660 of the documentary
00:22:15.440 and you know,
00:22:16.440 you might think
00:22:16.900 maybe those are congregants
00:22:17.960 or maybe those people
00:22:18.740 those are people
00:22:19.380 who did physical work
00:22:21.700 on the documentary
00:22:22.520 but that's not
00:22:23.680 who those people are.
00:22:24.640 Why don't you tell us
00:22:25.160 about them?
00:22:25.980 Yeah,
00:22:26.200 so those hundreds
00:22:27.220 and hundreds
00:22:27.700 and hundreds
00:22:28.280 I'd say almost a thousand
00:22:29.560 I don't have the number
00:22:30.560 but I kind of want
00:22:31.200 to know the number now.
00:22:31.960 It's a lot.
00:22:33.220 Are all the people
00:22:34.020 who donated
00:22:34.780 for perks
00:22:35.960 whether it was
00:22:36.680 $5,
00:22:37.800 $25
00:22:38.200 or executive producers
00:22:39.780 $10,000.
00:22:40.480 You know,
00:22:43.720 it's an amazing feeling
00:22:44.820 when you watch
00:22:46.040 the credits roll
00:22:46.840 at the end.
00:22:47.960 I still look up
00:22:48.860 I have my phone
00:22:49.780 filming the people
00:22:50.840 like they're clapping
00:22:52.520 I have my phone
00:22:53.180 in one hand
00:22:53.640 and then I'm looking up
00:22:54.480 at the screen
00:22:55.220 with the
00:22:55.980 like just watching
00:22:57.320 the list
00:22:58.040 and it's
00:22:58.480 it's such a great
00:22:59.920 feeling
00:23:00.740 that there's
00:23:02.020 that many people
00:23:02.580 who donated
00:23:03.480 before the movie
00:23:04.360 before we even
00:23:05.920 really started filming
00:23:06.920 they had that much
00:23:07.820 faith in us
00:23:08.420 to know that
00:23:09.900 we would tell
00:23:10.400 the story properly
00:23:11.300 and I don't know
00:23:13.380 how many people
00:23:13.880 on that list
00:23:14.300 have seen it yet
00:23:15.000 but I do think
00:23:19.040 that we
00:23:19.620 would make them proud
00:23:21.420 I do think
00:23:21.960 that they
00:23:22.400 I do know
00:23:24.020 that one person
00:23:24.840 who came
00:23:25.240 said that
00:23:25.800 who donated
00:23:27.080 a large amount
00:23:27.620 of money
00:23:27.920 who said that
00:23:28.440 it was more
00:23:29.120 than worth it
00:23:29.780 so I think
00:23:32.380 I think it's
00:23:33.340 I think they'll be happy
00:23:35.040 and I'm happy
00:23:36.260 yeah
00:23:36.620 yeah I'm happy too
00:23:38.360 I
00:23:38.840 it's
00:23:40.740 when you walk
00:23:41.480 out on stage
00:23:42.080 because you know
00:23:42.620 after the documentary
00:23:43.560 shows I do my
00:23:44.640 little blah blah
00:23:45.200 you do all the hard
00:23:46.220 work and I do
00:23:46.740 all the talking
00:23:47.260 and I just sort of
00:23:49.040 turn and stand
00:23:50.040 there and it's
00:23:50.640 just names
00:23:51.840 just rolling by
00:23:53.140 and it's one of
00:23:54.780 those things that
00:23:55.500 you know like
00:23:56.820 if you were up
00:23:57.940 at 3 a.m.
00:23:58.620 to catch a 5 a.m.
00:23:59.620 flight and you're
00:24:00.380 tired
00:24:00.780 you see that
00:24:02.060 and it just
00:24:02.580 fills up
00:24:03.620 your
00:24:04.520 tank
00:24:05.900 to fight on
00:24:06.760 the next
00:24:07.160 day
00:24:07.320 to fight
00:24:07.700 through
00:24:07.860 the next
00:24:08.260 day
00:24:08.580 because
00:24:09.420 like what a
00:24:11.620 what a gift
00:24:12.440 of of those
00:24:14.080 people to have
00:24:14.700 that kind of
00:24:15.380 faith and
00:24:15.840 confidence in
00:24:16.560 us to tell
00:24:17.620 these stories
00:24:18.240 accurately and
00:24:19.140 those are just
00:24:19.980 hundreds if not
00:24:21.120 over a thousand
00:24:21.800 names of people
00:24:22.520 who are just
00:24:23.020 cheering for us
00:24:23.820 to continue on
00:24:25.100 and tell these
00:24:25.980 stories because
00:24:26.640 nobody else will
00:24:27.360 and I'm just
00:24:28.460 so grateful for
00:24:29.180 every last one
00:24:29.800 of them
00:24:30.040 and you know
00:24:31.580 as we always say
00:24:32.200 at the end of
00:24:32.600 the documentary
00:24:33.200 what you won't
00:24:34.340 see here is
00:24:35.620 made in partnership
00:24:36.720 with the government
00:24:37.560 of Canada or
00:24:38.680 with funds from
00:24:39.960 Telefilm Canada or
00:24:41.180 the National Film
00:24:41.900 Board or anything
00:24:42.520 like that and
00:24:43.700 I think you're
00:24:45.040 hard-pressed to
00:24:45.620 find a documentary
00:24:46.200 in this country
00:24:47.060 with the exception
00:24:48.020 of a few that
00:24:49.320 don't have that
00:24:50.300 government stamp
00:24:51.340 of approval at
00:24:52.260 the bottom and
00:24:52.740 we don't and I'm
00:24:53.700 very proud of it
00:24:54.780 it's because
00:24:55.280 independent movies
00:24:56.800 get significant
00:24:58.000 tax credits and
00:24:59.540 that's one of the
00:25:00.260 things that they
00:25:00.740 need to put at the
00:25:01.440 end of the movie
00:25:02.080 isn't that
00:25:06.240 interesting
00:25:06.740 government just
00:25:08.880 made sure that
00:25:09.760 they want that
00:25:10.400 they'll give you
00:25:10.940 the three to
00:25:12.220 two thousand
00:25:12.860 three thousand
00:25:13.340 dollars and
00:25:14.860 just they pretty
00:25:15.580 much it's almost
00:25:16.380 like the government
00:25:16.960 pays them to make
00:25:18.120 sure that that's
00:25:18.700 on there
00:25:19.060 it's like a
00:25:21.320 stick in their
00:25:22.340 advertisement on it
00:25:23.840 like a NASCAR
00:25:24.560 right stick their
00:25:26.060 sticker on the
00:25:26.800 side
00:25:27.140 we still are not
00:25:30.000 done our
00:25:30.780 documentary screening
00:25:31.940 um we've got a
00:25:34.300 few more scheduled
00:25:35.000 out uh if you
00:25:36.680 want to talk about
00:25:37.240 those that's great
00:25:38.020 and also if people
00:25:40.000 want a screening
00:25:41.400 because I think
00:25:42.740 we're still you
00:25:44.500 know like we'll
00:25:44.980 still take a few
00:25:45.720 more um let us

00:26:43.260 more people
00:26:43.980 emailing me angry
00:26:45.400 that we didn't go
00:26:46.660 to BC um but
00:26:48.860 uh really quick
00:26:50.340 BC is like the
00:26:51.400 the home of film
00:26:53.020 in Canada so
00:26:54.380 everybody's super
00:26:55.520 woke there when it
00:26:56.240 comes to movies
00:26:56.920 and like normally
00:26:58.900 when you have a
00:26:59.660 venue where you
00:27:00.200 could play a movie
00:27:00.900 there is no way
00:27:02.020 that they would
00:27:02.400 take a Rebel
00:27:02.840 News documentary
00:27:03.720 like no way
00:27:05.500 um trust me

00:28:08.780 been universally
00:28:10.060 the feedback
00:28:11.020 is good

00:29:05.460 we've come to

00:29:06.360 the show where
00:29:06.980 I invite your
00:29:08.160 viewer feedback
00:29:08.780 unlike the
00:29:09.340 mainstream media
00:29:09.900 I actually care
00:29:10.620 about what you
00:29:11.120 think about the
00:29:11.620 work that we're
00:29:12.000 doing here at
00:29:12.540 rebel news and
00:29:13.040 that's why I
00:29:13.460 give up my
00:29:13.860 email address
00:29:14.520 right now
00:29:15.480 it's Sheila
00:29:16.260 at rebel news
00:29:17.080 dot com put
00:29:17.720 gun show letters
00:29:18.840 in the subject
00:29:19.480 line two ends
00:29:20.260 please so that
00:29:21.420 it's easy for me
00:29:22.220 to find your
00:29:22.980 letter and I
00:29:23.560 know exactly
00:29:24.340 what you're
00:29:24.740 talking about
00:29:25.360 when you
00:29:26.240 email me
00:29:26.760 because I
00:29:27.160 do get
00:29:27.460 dozens if
00:29:27.940 not hundreds
00:29:28.400 sometimes depending
00:29:29.540 on what I've
00:29:30.060 done that day
00:29:30.760 and what sort
00:29:31.620 of controversial
00:29:32.680 nonsense I've
00:29:33.480 been up to
00:29:34.000 um so
00:29:35.660 gun show
00:29:36.740 letters in the
00:29:37.380 subject line just
00:29:37.980 so it's easier
00:29:38.720 for me to find
00:29:39.420 uh today's
00:29:40.600 letter comes to
00:29:41.360 us from a
00:29:41.960 regular viewer I
00:29:42.740 read his emails
00:29:43.660 frequently on the
00:29:44.420 show and that
00:29:44.860 could be you
00:29:45.400 too if you
00:29:46.400 email me a
00:29:47.080 lot uh
00:29:48.400 it's Bruce
00:29:49.060 Atchison he
00:29:49.900 lives in
00:29:50.260 Radway Alberta
00:29:50.880 and he often
00:29:51.640 signs off um
00:29:52.840 with a tagline
00:29:55.260 from his cat
00:29:56.400 and he emails
00:29:57.200 me on last
00:29:58.340 week's show
00:29:58.940 that I filmed
00:29:59.760 in the brand
00:30:00.380 new studio in
00:30:01.180 Toronto with my
00:30:01.820 friend David
00:30:02.240 Menzies as I
00:30:04.380 was in Toronto
00:30:04.920 on the documentary
00:30:06.520 tour I still
00:30:07.720 have other work
00:30:08.360 to do so I
00:30:08.900 thought why not
00:30:09.380 use the new
00:30:09.860 studio to film
00:30:10.560 the gun show
00:30:11.080 I brought in
00:30:11.940 David and we
00:30:12.540 talked about the
00:30:14.240 election of
00:30:15.240 Olivia Chow to
00:30:16.120 be the mayor of
00:30:16.880 Toronto and what
00:30:18.040 that means for the
00:30:18.740 rest of Canada
00:30:19.360 because so many
00:30:20.360 of these bad
00:30:21.360 ideas are
00:30:23.160 percolated in
00:30:23.920 the petri dish
00:30:24.720 of Toronto
00:30:25.840 for example
00:30:26.680 Toronto has
00:30:27.860 out of control
00:30:28.660 gang violence
00:30:29.480 and the liberals
00:30:30.120 say oh you
00:30:31.400 know what we
00:30:31.760 got to do
00:30:32.320 go to grab the
00:30:33.340 guns of the
00:30:33.960 Albertans and
00:30:34.760 the Westerners
00:30:35.800 because the
00:30:37.680 government has
00:30:38.900 left the
00:30:40.160 borders completely
00:30:41.420 wide open
00:30:42.000 and they are
00:30:45.300 soft on crime
00:30:46.160 and the bail
00:30:47.340 laws need
00:30:47.900 reform but
00:30:48.660 instead of
00:30:49.040 doing those
00:30:49.760 things the
00:30:51.680 liberals have
00:30:52.360 decided to
00:30:53.140 take the path
00:30:53.700 of least
00:30:54.000 resistance and
00:30:54.600 go after the
00:30:55.020 most law
00:30:55.400 abiding people
00:30:55.960 in the country
00:30:56.520 because for
00:30:58.380 the liberals
00:30:58.940 all guns are
00:31:00.040 bad whereas
00:31:01.520 for normal
00:31:02.140 people we
00:31:02.680 realize that
00:31:03.380 guns in the
00:31:04.380 hands of bad
00:31:05.100 people are bad
00:31:05.940 and guns in
00:31:06.520 the hands of
00:31:06.940 me mean fewer
00:31:08.660 coyotes bothering
00:31:10.040 livestock anyway
00:31:11.220 Bruce writes
00:31:12.760 hi Sheila I
00:31:14.160 love it when you
00:31:14.760 and David host
00:31:15.600 any show well
00:31:16.240 David and I
00:31:16.960 frequently host
00:31:18.100 the rebel
00:31:19.080 news daily
00:31:19.880 live stream
00:31:20.500 together so
00:31:21.180 we have what
00:31:22.580 some might call
00:31:23.240 chemistry
00:31:24.040 you and him
00:31:25.660 are well matched
00:31:26.260 and keep the
00:31:26.640 show interesting
00:31:27.140 there are some
00:31:27.680 hosts who are
00:31:28.700 as exciting
00:31:30.340 as watching
00:31:31.380 laundry dry on
00:31:32.820 the line
00:31:33.140 have you been
00:31:33.540 watching CBC
00:31:34.180 Bruce I don't
00:31:34.880 feel like you're
00:31:35.320 a CBC watcher
00:31:36.120 but it is true
00:31:37.440 David is
00:31:38.800 he's funny
00:31:40.100 and sometimes
00:31:41.400 I'm the break
00:31:42.220 to his gas
00:31:42.780 pedal but that's
00:31:43.460 why I think
00:31:44.020 we're well
00:31:44.780 matched
00:31:45.160 I understand
00:31:45.920 how you feel
00:31:46.460 about Olivia
00:31:46.960 Chow she's a
00:31:47.740 tool for the
00:31:48.240 Chinese Communist
00:31:48.860 Party
00:31:49.160 yeah isn't that
00:31:49.800 interesting
00:31:50.180 there have been
00:31:52.100 reports about
00:31:52.720 that it's time
00:31:53.900 all politicians
00:31:54.700 and all levels
00:31:55.340 of government
00:31:55.800 were examined
00:31:56.420 for influence
00:31:57.380 by Beijing
00:31:58.160 I think
00:31:58.780 influenced by
00:31:59.400 anybody
00:31:59.760 I would also
00:32:01.160 be concerned
00:32:02.100 about foreign
00:32:02.660 influence with
00:32:03.520 regard to
00:32:04.740 environmentalist
00:32:06.240 mega charities
00:32:06.840 out of San
00:32:07.420 Francisco
00:32:07.780 like Tides
00:32:09.840 or whatever
00:32:10.240 they call
00:32:10.620 themselves now
00:32:11.140 Make Way
00:32:11.820 their name
00:32:13.400 was so
00:32:13.760 stigmatized
00:32:14.540 by anti-oil
00:32:15.860 sands garbage
00:32:16.620 that they had
00:32:17.240 to change
00:32:17.620 their name
00:32:17.940 to Make Way
00:32:18.580 here in
00:32:19.400 Canada
00:32:19.740 so you
00:32:23.160 know I
00:32:24.760 think there
00:32:25.400 are we
00:32:26.880 shouldn't just
00:32:27.280 be concerned
00:32:27.840 about Beijing
00:32:28.640 ruling Canadian
00:32:30.080 politics I'm
00:32:31.600 concerned about
00:32:32.600 all kinds of
00:32:33.500 foreign meddling
00:32:34.580 and interloping
00:32:35.540 did you know
00:32:37.340 that Thorhill
00:32:37.920 County blew
00:32:38.500 56,000 on
00:32:40.180 airplane photos
00:32:40.960 that seems
00:32:41.760 about right
00:32:42.220 although I
00:32:42.640 bet drone
00:32:43.200 photography would
00:32:44.040 be a heck
00:32:44.500 of a lot
00:32:44.840 cheaper but
00:32:45.420 leave it to
00:32:46.120 government to
00:32:46.640 do the most
00:32:47.080 expensive thing
00:32:47.820 a plane was
00:32:49.060 buzzing around
00:32:49.540 Radway last
00:32:50.220 Thursday July 6
00:32:51.080 for a few
00:32:51.600 hours after
00:32:52.140 supper
00:32:52.460 why didn't
00:32:53.320 they use
00:32:53.680 Google Earth
00:32:54.200 great question
00:32:55.300 because government
00:32:56.740 doesn't think
00:32:58.240 about saving
00:32:58.940 money generally
00:33:00.280 speaking they
00:33:01.940 could have
00:33:02.180 learned all
00:33:02.660 they needed
00:33:02.980 to know for
00:33:03.540 free meanwhile
00:33:04.160 they sold
00:33:04.680 the second
00:33:05.100 seniors excursion
00:33:06.200 bus to various
00:33:06.840 clubs have to
00:33:07.460 fight over who
00:33:08.140 gets to ride
00:33:08.820 the bus on which
00:33:09.500 days I bet
00:33:10.400 that $56,000
00:33:11.380 could have
00:33:11.820 went a long
00:33:12.340 way to
00:33:12.740 maintaining
00:33:13.300 the seniors
00:33:14.320 bus but
00:33:15.140 again government
00:33:16.260 doesn't think
00:33:16.800 that way
00:33:17.240 this makes me
00:33:18.360 wish Radway
00:33:19.200 was back with
00:33:19.800 Sturgeon County
00:33:20.460 we split with
00:33:21.340 them in 1977
00:33:22.060 because they
00:33:22.660 couldn't fix up
00:33:23.340 Highway 2A
00:33:24.180 and besides
00:33:24.740 that residents
00:33:25.720 like shopping
00:33:26.340 in Redwater
00:33:27.040 then pokey
00:33:29.140 little Thorhild
00:33:29.820 your loyal
00:33:30.640 viewer Bruce
00:33:32.760 with Delta
00:33:33.620 the cat
00:33:34.380 sleeping on the
00:33:35.440 couch Bruce
00:33:36.040 you know
00:33:37.080 people might not
00:33:38.120 know anything
00:33:38.580 think about
00:33:38.880 Thorhild or
00:33:39.640 Radway or
00:33:40.300 Sturgeon County
00:33:40.900 or the
00:33:41.340 problems with
00:33:41.880 Highway 28A
00:33:43.440 however I think
00:33:45.740 it is universal
00:33:46.620 across this
00:33:47.260 country that
00:33:48.000 government
00:33:48.480 wastes your
00:33:50.020 money and
00:33:50.620 they don't
00:33:50.980 stop and
00:33:51.540 think about
00:33:52.100 the most
00:33:53.020 responsible ways
00:33:53.940 to spend
00:33:54.660 your money
00:33:55.180 and the most
00:33:56.020 common sense
00:33:56.740 practical solutions
00:33:58.420 and that is
00:34:00.760 a problem that
00:34:01.520 happens in big
00:34:02.480 cities and
00:34:03.640 small towns
00:34:04.360 like sleepy
00:34:05.000 little Radway
00:34:05.620 it's universal
00:34:08.040 rule of all
00:34:10.260 government from
00:34:11.040 international levels
00:34:12.980 of government
00:34:13.440 all the way down
00:34:14.360 to the tiniest
00:34:15.380 municipality like
00:34:17.220 your county which
00:34:18.500 I think has
00:34:19.380 about 3,000
00:34:20.900 people spread
00:34:22.960 across a place
00:34:24.360 the size of a
00:34:25.220 small European
00:34:25.820 country so it
00:34:27.880 doesn't matter
00:34:28.300 where you live
00:34:28.780 it's all the
00:34:29.200 same well
00:34:30.060 everybody that's
00:34:30.660 the show for
00:34:31.040 tonight thank you
00:34:31.500 so much for
00:34:31.980 tuning in I'll
00:34:32.680 see everybody
00:34:33.060 back here in
00:34:33.800 the same time
00:34:34.420 in the same
00:34:34.840 place next week
00:34:35.480 and as always
00:34:36.540 don't let the
00:34:37.460 government tell
00:34:37.960 you that you've
00:34:38.400 had too much
00:34:38.940 to think
00:35:05.480 you know
00:35:07.540 you
