Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey Rebels, this is Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're listening to a free audio-only recording of
00:00:04.160 my weekly Wednesday night show, The Gun Show.
00:00:06.880 Tonight my guest is someone I have to have on the show due to popular demand, but I love
00:00:13.580 having him on the show anyway.
00:00:15.320 It's my Rebel colleague, Kian Bexty, and we're talking about everything from Trudeau's gun
00:00:21.220 grab to Kian himself being grabbed by an RCMP officer for just trying to do his job and
00:00:29.100 attend a Trudeau press conference.
00:00:30.940 Now if you like listening to the show, then I promise you're going to love watching it.
00:00:34.320 But in order to watch, you need to be a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.
00:00:38.260 That's what we call our long-form TV-style shows here on Rebel News.
00:00:43.640 Subscribers get access to my show as well as other great long-form TV-style shows too, like
00:00:50.860 Ezra's Nightly, Ezra Levant Show, and David Menzies' fun Friday night show, Rebel Roundup,
00:00:56.760 where you'll sort of see us Rebels talking casually about the stories that we covered
00:01:02.540 over the week.
00:01:03.620 Now to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus, just go to rebelnews.com slash subscribe.
00:01:11.300 It's only eight bucks a month.
00:01:12.460 I think it is a steal of a deal.
00:01:14.780 If you only got Ezra's show for eight bucks a month, it would be a steal.
00:01:18.320 But you also get David's show and my show too.
00:01:21.460 And if you like the show, and I bet you do, why don't you leave a five-star review wherever
00:01:27.500 you find podcasts?
00:01:28.940 Because those reviews are a great way to support the show without ever having to spend a dime,
00:01:33.480 but it also helps other people find us too.
00:01:36.500 Okay, that's enough of the business.
00:01:38.440 Let's get to the show.
00:01:39.440 In Calgary, it's okay to protest with thousands of other people, but it's not okay to feed
00:02:00.540 the homeless in the age of social distancing.
00:02:02.960 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:02:09.440 I know I say it all the time, but it is a really strange time to be alive, don't you think?
00:02:27.900 Apparently, it's far too dangerous for Calgarians to go to their churches to worship or to feed
00:02:34.820 the homeless, but it's perfectly acceptable for Calgarians to join together with thousands
00:02:40.720 of other people to protest, at least according to the protesters, racism happening in another
00:02:46.880 country.
00:02:47.720 To be clear, I think all of these things are probably pretty safe.
00:02:51.660 Mainstream media reporters are also outraged at reporters being arrested in the middle of
00:02:57.180 riots in the United States.
00:02:59.080 They're getting caught up in the confusion, while at the same time, these Canadian reporters
00:03:04.560 are turning a blind eye to Justin Trudeau using the RCMP to throw a rebel journalist
00:03:08.420 out of press conferences here in Canada.
00:03:12.380 Tonight's Gunn Show guest is here by popular demand, and he's here to talk about, well,
00:03:18.060 everything from the comparisons of the rioting happening in the United States to peaceful
00:03:25.140 Hong Kong protests.
00:03:27.160 He's also here to talk about what he saw when he went to Calgary's so-called anti-racism
00:03:32.700 protests the other day, and he's here to talk about the time the RCMP got a little too handsy
00:03:37.240 with him at a Justin Trudeau press conference, and he's also here to talk about Justin Trudeau's
00:03:42.860 gun grab.
00:03:43.380 I know, it's a lot, and I don't want to keep you waiting, so let's get right into this.
00:03:48.560 This is my rebel news colleague, Kian Bexty, in an interview we recorded yesterday afternoon.
00:03:55.140 So joining me now from his home in Calgary is my friend, rebel colleague, Kian Bexty.
00:04:16.080 Kian, thanks for joining me.
00:04:17.180 I'm just giving the people what they want, because when I do these live streams with David,
00:04:21.760 it's always like, when is Kian coming on?
00:04:23.320 All right, can you have Kian on your show?
00:04:24.960 I'm here to give the people what they want.
00:04:26.460 I'm a woman of the people.
00:04:28.300 So Kian, the first thing I wanted to talk to you about is the crazy, I guess it was Black
00:04:36.320 Lives Matter, Antifa, NDP protests that unfolded in Calgary.
00:04:42.780 It seemed actually a little bit more well attended than I would like to see a Calgary left-wing
00:04:50.180 protest be.
00:04:53.180 Yeah, it was a little bit concerning how many Antifa flags were in the crowd.
00:04:58.160 It was supposed to be sort of, and I suppose, who knows what it was really supposed to be
00:05:04.060 at the end of the day, but what a lot of people hoped that it would be, at least the NDPers
00:05:08.080 on Twitter, who at least have some sort of restraint and an idea of how to push political
00:05:13.080 movements.
00:05:13.640 They were hoping that it was going to be this non-violent, really sort of good feeling, support
00:05:19.580 Black Lives kind of thing, stop police brutality, whatever, fine.
00:05:23.380 They can do what they want.
00:05:24.240 But it was infiltrated quite clearly by Antifa.
00:05:27.700 It was infiltrated by radical folks who were calling for violence.
00:05:34.240 It was infiltrated by people who were calling the police force a pandemic and equating the
00:05:39.200 Calgary Police Service to the KKK.
00:05:42.380 Just people that are really, really out of touch with the difference between Canada and
00:05:48.960 the United States.
00:05:50.000 They are on an IV drip of CNN and MSNBC, and they think that what happened to George
00:05:56.140 Floyd in Minneapolis happens frequently in Canada.
00:06:00.680 So I asked them, that was my main question on the streets, is, can you give me an example
00:06:05.920 of police brutality against a Black individual here in Canada?
00:06:09.360 Give me one example, please.
00:06:11.400 And nobody could come up with any.
00:06:13.180 So I'm not sure they even knew what they were there to protest.
00:06:16.240 They just wanted a part of the action, a part of the fun.
00:06:19.120 Thank God it didn't break down into looting like it has across the rest of the continent.
00:06:25.440 Yeah, I saw someone on Twitter say that, you know, don't worry about looting in downtown
00:06:31.160 Calgary.
00:06:31.780 Nenshi already did that and leveled, basically, Calgary's downtown.
00:06:37.540 I did think it was funny, though, because I would suggest that you've actually probably
00:06:41.860 been a victim of police brutality.
00:06:43.980 Um, so I thought it was funny for you to be asking these questions about police brutality
00:06:48.840 to people who would probably, if you put it to them, tell you that you deserved that.
00:06:54.300 I thought that was kind of interesting.
00:06:55.880 And, you know, I thought it was kind of funny, um, you know, to see them encouraging, you know,
00:07:03.280 telling police to take a knee.
00:07:05.180 And then when you sort of push them on that, oh, I don't want to talk about that.
00:07:08.200 I'm an old lady.
00:07:09.080 I think that was probably my favorite clip.
00:07:11.760 The old lady who's doing deep knee lunges.
00:07:14.560 When you stop, ask her about stuff.
00:07:16.800 Oh no, then she's just a frail little old lady.
00:07:19.240 But that's usually the, how things go in these left wing protests is that the second you sort
00:07:25.320 of needle them for information about why they're there, they hide behind, um, whatever demographic
00:07:31.420 they exist as.
00:07:33.000 So whether they're, you know, you can't, you can't talk to me about that.
00:07:36.780 I'm, I'm old or I'm gay or I'm whatever.
00:07:41.160 It's whatever's social justice thing that they identify as that becomes their personal shield
00:07:47.220 from criticism.
00:07:48.960 Yeah.
00:07:49.580 And I was, like you said earlier, I was surprised with how many people were at that protest,
00:07:54.600 uh, rally, demonstration, march, whatever it was.
00:07:57.060 It was at 7 a.m.
00:07:59.420 on a Monday and there were thousands, probably, probably around 1,500 to 2,000 people there,
00:08:05.820 which really illustrates a different problem that Canada and particularly Calgary is facing
00:08:11.540 that they should be protesting about is that the federal government is leaving them unemployed
00:08:16.700 in a position where they can run around downtown Calgary, shouting, screaming, and on the verge
00:08:24.120 of violence.
00:08:24.880 These people were very, many of them were unhinged.
00:08:27.940 Some of them were very restrained and had a message that they wanted to talk about, but
00:08:32.460 a lot of them, especially the ones carrying the Antifa flag, a flag of a terrorist organization,
00:08:37.500 according to Donald Trump, um, they were really unhinged.
00:08:40.720 And it was the middle of a work day on Monday.
00:08:43.540 That's the much bigger problem that they should be concerned about.
00:08:45.980 There's no police brutality against like a racialized police brutality in Canada.
00:08:52.300 It just doesn't exist.
00:08:53.900 Yeah.
00:08:54.160 It just doesn't exist.
00:08:55.200 The, the brutality is the federal government beating the hell out of the Alberta economy.
00:08:59.600 Now, I wanted to ask you, did you see any enforcement of these social distancing regulations happening?
00:09:08.520 Because you did some fight the fines work and people can see that at fightthefines.com where
00:09:15.120 a Christian pastor was fined for, I think it was giving out sandwiches in the exact place
00:09:21.200 as these protests.
00:09:22.760 So it looks like it's okay to be a member of Antifa and protest, but it's not okay to feed
00:09:29.960 the homeless in the city of Calgary.
00:09:31.740 Yeah, which I'm, I'm, I'm happy that I was there to document it because I actually got
00:09:38.180 the police recorded saying, uh, we were told by command not to issue any tickets because
00:09:45.140 the right to protest supersedes that, that, uh, social distancing, which I find very curious
00:09:52.460 because in the charter of rights and freedoms under fundamental freedoms, section A guarantees
00:09:58.880 the rights, uh, freedoms of conscience and religion.
00:10:02.080 And then I think it's section C in that same fundamental freedoms list that guarantees freedom
00:10:08.180 of assembly, uh, and association.
00:10:10.940 Uh, I think those ones are, but point being, they're all the, they're, they're all in the
00:10:15.500 same list of freedoms.
00:10:16.940 It's not a buffet.
00:10:18.240 You don't get to pick which ones you're going to enforce on Monday and which ones you're going
00:10:21.960 to enforce on Sunday.
00:10:23.320 That doesn't, it doesn't work like that.
00:10:25.440 But for some reason, the Calgary police service were specifically targeting Christian pastors,
00:10:30.020 pastors.
00:10:30.900 And we know it was specifically targeting them because it was on two different occasions in
00:10:35.640 two different areas, two different Christian pastors, uh, with two different churches.
00:10:39.740 They went and gave them thousands of dollars in fines.
00:10:43.580 And some of them, in some cases, gave them repeated fines for just coming back, having the audacity
00:10:49.080 to practice their religion the next week.
00:10:51.760 And these folks, they got a pass just because there was what a lot of them, if anything, that
00:10:56.760 should make it worse.
00:10:58.200 That should make it worse that there were so many people in such close quarters.
00:11:01.440 They're putting them alive, or at least they'll be the first people to say that, that, and
00:11:06.460 that Christian pastor was putting the lives of seniors and vulnerable people at risk, people
00:11:11.140 with compromised immune systems and respiratory systems.
00:11:13.460 They were there, they would tell those Christian pastors that they were being selfish for feeding
00:11:17.460 the homeless, might I add.
00:11:18.920 But those people protesting, calling for the dismantlement of police departments, calling
00:11:24.040 them the police pandemics and the KKK and saying, uh, there was one person, uh, actually
00:11:29.900 I probably shouldn't say it on the street, but, um, you know, these, these people, uh, they,
00:11:35.080 why are their rights being protected over the rights of religious people?
00:11:38.460 I think everyone's rights should be protected.
00:11:40.200 Uh, I, I, my problem is that I don't think that they should be picking and choosing.
00:11:45.420 Yeah, I agree.
00:11:46.560 I think, um, like this last week's Karens are this week's Antifa protesters.
00:11:52.600 These are the same people who would call the cops on you for going into Walmart without a
00:11:56.600 mask.
00:11:57.060 And then this week they're protesting police brutality because, um, for these people, it
00:12:02.540 truly seems as though, uh, for them, their church is the state and control.
00:12:07.580 Um, uh, and it is interesting to see how this protest was treated by Calgary police versus
00:12:14.680 what I saw unfolding in Edmonton, um, when like a ragtag bunch of people, and I'll be
00:12:20.820 quite honest here, um, a loosely organized anti-gun grab protest unfolded on the steps
00:12:27.100 of the legislature and in moved the sheriffs and the Edmonton city police and physically
00:12:32.780 moved people off the steps of the legislature, ticketed them, I think it was $1,200.
00:12:38.960 Justice center for constitutional freedoms is helping them with that.
00:12:41.980 Um, and they were social distancing.
00:12:44.720 They weren't anywhere near anybody else.
00:12:47.060 And we did see Jason weigh in and say, okay, uh, we need to have a full examination of what
00:12:55.440 happened here because they were, we have to balance the right to protest with these ridiculous
00:13:00.960 regulations and.
00:13:02.820 And where, where is Doug Schweitzer?
00:13:06.060 He's Doug Schweitzer sitting in the legislature while that, while that, uh, protester was being
00:13:13.020 arrested on the front steps of the legislature, where was he standing up for his rights?
00:13:17.360 And then I'm sure this week, Doug Schweitzer is going to be virtue signaling.
00:13:21.140 He's probably posting a black Instagram photo right now saying that we should be listening
00:13:25.840 to black people and we should be shutting up and letting them talk while he is arresting
00:13:30.280 white people for doing what for protesting and for exercising their own rights.
00:13:36.040 It's insane.
00:13:36.960 The people that are being targeted unfairly here were the people in front of the legislature
00:13:40.900 and Doug Schweitzer gave everyone in that rally, thousands of people, a free pass to now go on
00:13:47.840 and go speak with their grandmothers, speak with their siblings who might have asthma.
00:13:52.900 Uh, and they are going to be putting pressure on the healthcare system, but they're not getting
00:13:56.700 tickets.
00:13:57.220 No, no, no, no, because their rights are more important than anyone else's.
00:14:00.820 Now, moving on to the next thing I wanted to talk to you about, it's, um, something I alluded
00:14:05.040 to earlier, and that is the, uh, police brutality that you experienced at, um,
00:14:10.900 Justin Trudeau's daily morning show where lazy journalists ask a simple man, easy questions.
00:14:18.320 You went there, you tried to, um, attend just like every other journalist seems to be attending
00:14:24.680 these things, except you're not like every other journalist.
00:14:27.500 You have tough questions you want to ask and you were strong armed by the RCMP.
00:14:33.180 And I think everybody's seen that footage.
00:14:35.640 Um, and the reason I want to talk to you about this is because we're seeing a lot of public
00:14:39.780 outcry from Canadian journalists now, all of a sudden that American journalists are being
00:14:48.040 hassled as they report on these race riots, I guess, happening in the United States.
00:14:53.940 They're outraged at these American journalists who are getting confused for rioters.
00:14:59.200 It seems like by the police.
00:15:01.320 And yet mum's the word when it comes to Kian Bexsey getting his arm bent behind his back
00:15:06.680 and, uh, marched off the, uh, Rideau compound.
00:15:10.400 Uh, what do you have to say about this, uh, double standard from the mainstream media?
00:15:16.680 It's always a double standard with the mainstream media.
00:15:19.080 It's a double standard when it comes to, um, you know, the facts that they look about,
00:15:24.360 look at on police brutality, uh, it's a double standard when, uh, they're complaining to the
00:15:31.040 masses about who gets priority questions or who gets led into these areas at all.
00:15:36.580 Uh, as you mentioned, I was strong armed out of the Rideau compound and not even a week
00:15:41.560 later, uh, Travis, some, something from global news, who's a part of the Toronto Bureau for
00:15:50.840 global news covering Queens park and Doug Ford, he's been complaining that he hasn't gotten
00:15:56.120 a question all week.
00:15:58.300 Can you imagine?
00:15:59.740 Cinderella.
00:16:02.380 Because he asked a tough question and granted the question was, uh, pretty tough.
00:16:07.200 It was asking for Doug Ford to hold himself accountable.
00:16:10.320 And does he take responsibility for the state of, uh, long-term care homes?
00:16:15.260 Um, which is a whole nother conversation to have about those being public or privatized.
00:16:21.380 But, uh, the guy said that that question was a little bit too harsh.
00:16:24.980 And now he hasn't gotten a question, uh, given to him by partisan staffers at Doug Ford's office.
00:16:29.560 It's the same problem we're facing right now, except for we've never gotten a question.
00:16:33.760 We've been calling and calling and burned two months of my life trying to call and get into
00:16:38.180 this place.
00:16:39.060 Uh, and it has just never worked out, but he doesn't get a question in a week.
00:16:43.020 And while global news is sounding the alarm bells, it is a total double standard.
00:16:46.640 It's a total joke.
00:16:48.160 They obviously only care about themselves.
00:16:49.880 They don't care about asking tough questions.
00:16:51.980 They just want, um, they just want the attention.
00:16:55.300 Yeah.
00:16:55.900 And it's funny how, I guess, how insular they are.
00:16:59.520 Like we've been having this fight very publicly with the Trudeau government.
00:17:04.640 I guess the fight goes back to the debates commission.
00:17:08.940 We've been fighting for journalistic access and we've been very public about it.
00:17:14.800 Some of the people who like us know about it and even some of the people who hate us know
00:17:19.300 about it.
00:17:19.740 But this gaggle of reporters, uh, you'd think that you would know about these battles for
00:17:25.240 press freedom because you're a journalist and you care about press freedom, but they
00:17:29.840 really have no idea about the work that we are doing and the money that we are spending
00:17:35.960 to not only protect our right to report, but theirs too.
00:17:39.980 Their right to ask Doug Ford a question if they so choose, if they ask a tough question
00:17:46.120 and get booted.
00:17:47.060 They just don't care because they don't like the people who are doing the work they aren't
00:17:51.500 willing to do.
00:17:52.120 Yeah, you're right about that.
00:17:54.440 I, when I first started at the rebel, I thought that the CBC and global news and CTV, they
00:17:59.840 were all out to get us.
00:18:00.980 They were, they were specifically silencing and ignoring stories that we broke or, or,
00:18:06.940 or not even, uh, or accrediting us when we break stories.
00:18:11.160 Like when you broke Omar Cotter, uh, and whereas he was hiding his money, they took that story
00:18:15.960 and then just sort of republished it after the national posts or watched it.
00:18:19.740 Uh, I think that they are not actually doing this maliciously.
00:18:24.560 I think that they're just incompetent.
00:18:26.780 I think that their circles, their journalism school circles are so close knit, uh, that every
00:18:33.500 journalist in Canada knows every journalist.
00:18:35.980 I mean, every mainstream media journalist knows every other mainstream media journalist
00:18:40.060 from Calgary to Toronto, uh, because they all live in Toronto.
00:18:44.160 They all live in Ottawa.
00:18:45.380 You might even notice that the Globe and Mail has a new Calgary based reporter.
00:18:49.720 Uh, that there's going to cover all stories, Calgary, but guess where she's living.
00:18:54.280 She's living in Toronto.
00:18:56.120 These people all know each other.
00:18:57.920 And if it's outside of their bubble, it's foreign to them and they, it just goes right
00:19:00.960 over their head.
00:19:02.040 So when they hear stories that we break, they just assume that this, the person that told
00:19:07.080 them it is giving them some sort of like secret tip.
00:19:10.880 And they've never even watched revenues.
00:19:12.440 I'm sure of it at this point because you couldn't post like that saying, Oh, track, like talking
00:19:17.500 about Travis's week long plight to ask a question.
00:19:21.040 You couldn't post about something like that and not know that we've had several videos go
00:19:26.200 viral across Canada where a significant portion of the Canadian population has seen me get dragged
00:19:31.920 out of Rideau Cottage while I'm trying to ask the prime minister a question and not even
00:19:36.480 allude to that, to that issue for that story.
00:19:39.920 It's just these, these people who joke.
00:19:41.680 Well, yeah.
00:19:42.560 And they actually are getting the story wrong when they do try to tell the story.
00:19:48.160 I noticed Sean O'Shea from, again, global news, he said, you know, we, we are agitators.
00:19:53.920 We thumb our noses at police or stick out their thumbs at police.
00:19:57.280 I think is what he said, which I don't know.
00:19:59.440 I'm not hitchhiking with the police.
00:20:01.920 I don't know what he meant by that, but then he also said, you know, and they violate court
00:20:06.320 injunctions.
00:20:07.280 I'm sorry.
00:20:08.400 We don't violate court injunctions.
00:20:10.240 We get court injunctions.
00:20:11.920 We get court injunctions to enforce our right to report.
00:20:15.840 Like we did with the debates commission.
00:20:17.760 We don't violate court orders, but he's repeating that completely verbatim.
00:20:22.400 He heard it somewhere else.
00:20:23.440 And so it's just like telephone, you know, repeat the lie, repeat the lie, repeat the
00:20:27.120 lie.
00:20:27.360 All of a sudden you believe it and it becomes part of the ethos.
00:20:30.000 And I think that's what's happening.
00:20:31.760 Like they heard somewhere along the line that we are white supremacist.
00:20:37.040 And instead of actually going to the source and saying, are they really white supremacist?
00:20:40.400 Because that sounds a little bit crazy, given that they're a Jewish owned and operated company
00:20:45.200 and they've done all this work for persecuted Christian minorities.
00:20:48.240 And, you know, they, they have like a multi-ethnic office.
00:20:51.840 That seems a bit crazy.
00:20:53.440 Let's go look and see the work they do.
00:20:54.880 They never do that.
00:20:55.920 They just keep repeating it.
00:20:57.360 Someone I trust said it.
00:20:58.720 So I'll just keep going down the line.
00:21:00.480 And, you know, it makes you question the integrity of the work they do.
00:21:05.760 If they can't even do basic research on the people they're being critical of.
00:21:11.120 I've learned not to trust them for any reason whatsoever.
00:21:15.120 Because when it comes, when it's important, you, you, they've been, they've been factually
00:21:20.880 proven to be accurate time and time again.
00:21:23.200 And that's when it's important.
00:21:25.440 When it's, when it's, when it's not a totally non-important story, uh, just like a, a public
00:21:32.880 interest, local story, these people are the same thing.
00:21:36.400 Cheetahs don't change their spots.
00:21:38.400 They're always lying.
00:21:39.920 And you can never tell why they're doing it, what they have to gain from their lies.
00:21:44.000 They just do it.
00:21:44.880 And it's like, it's like an instinct to them to not tell the truth and to spin it however
00:21:49.600 they want and pretend like they're not biased.
00:21:52.800 We here at rebel news, we are biased.
00:21:56.000 You can see from my shirt, I might be a fan of Donald Trump in some way, shape or form.
00:22:01.280 You might not like Hillary Clinton, but you know that we let our viewers know what we think,
00:22:08.640 why we're thinking it so that when they hear news from our mouths, they understand the perspective
00:22:13.680 that it's coming from so that they can make informed decisions about how they vote, about
00:22:18.000 where they're going to put their money, about where they're going to boycott, about what petitions
00:22:21.520 they're going to sign because they know that we're being honest with, with our perspective.
00:22:25.760 Whereas with CBC news, they'll never tell you where they're coming from.
00:22:30.560 They'll tell you they're, they're totally non biased.
00:22:32.560 They're not, they're not left wing, they're not right wing, they're not even centrist.
00:22:35.760 The news they're giving you is totally just bland, plain, plain as day news.
00:22:42.080 But the next, the next, like, and here's what I find really funny is just a few days ago,
00:22:48.320 I think it was two days ago, a CBC reporter jumped ship and got a free ride at the liberal
00:22:55.360 press office in Newfoundland. And David Cochran, Rosemary's second in command in Ottawa,
00:23:01.200 he's the poutine guy. He's the what? He's the poutine guy.
00:23:07.200 Yeah, yeah. He was congratulating him on Twitter. Like, good job. Like, not, without any sort of
00:23:13.360 hint of introspection, or understanding how people are seeing this, that he's applauding a reporter for
00:23:20.960 making his next career move to the Liberal Party. Like, that's just the standard operating procedure of a
00:23:27.760 Liberal, uh, of a CBC reporter's career. Like, they're, they're, they're tone deaf. I, I'm lost,
00:23:35.040 at a loss of, for words, for how stupid some of these people are.
00:23:39.680 Well, we saw the same thing unfold in Alberta. I think it was two dozen journalists, uh, jumped ship
00:23:46.400 to go work for the NDP. They basically just helped the NDP get elected, and then went and colonized the NDP.
00:23:52.800 Um, I mean, it was truly a reward for a job well done, um, for their lack of criticism,
00:24:00.240 and their lack of investigation into who and what the NDP were in 2015. And, uh, you know, it's,
00:24:06.800 it's not a difficult move for these journalists. It's not an ideological struggle. It's just like a,
00:24:12.800 a step across. Like, it's a total lateral move. Now, there's something I wanted to ask you about,
00:24:18.480 because I see a lot of this on social media, and I know this is kind of near and dear to your heart.
00:24:24.000 I see people comparing these violent riots to the fight for freedom in Hong Kong,
00:24:32.400 and not comparing the difference in, uh, protest style, but actually making the, um,
00:24:41.760 um, the, uh, comparison that these are sort of on par with each other. And, uh, I'm willing to bet
00:24:50.960 that you would take a great deal of umbrage with that.
00:24:54.640 Okay, you are right on the mic. And I'm, I'm so interested in the story right now that the Chinese
00:25:03.280 propagandists are pumping out, uh, because they're trying, and you, you know, when,
00:25:08.160 when the Chinese propagandists are saying something, they have something over here that they're trying
00:25:12.640 to, they're, they're trying to distract you with. And then something over here is actually happening.
00:25:16.800 Uh, and they're saying right now that the, that the riots in the United States are somehow linked
00:25:23.840 to the Hong Kong riots. Like the, the civil unrest somehow has something to do. They, they, they are,
00:25:30.640 they're run by similar people. They're run by anarchists. Uh, and, and you're kind of scratching
00:25:36.000 your head. You're like, well, why are they saying that? And then the next day that that article came
00:25:40.080 out from global times, for some reason, outside of the white house, uh, in that square Lafayette
00:25:46.960 square, uh, in front of the riot police, there was someone shouting quick. We need to leave right now
00:25:54.720 in Chinese. Now I thought, well, I was curious. So I got my, uh, I got my friend from Hong Kong to,
00:26:00.720 to listen to that audio and say, is this Cantonese or is this Mandarin? And it was in Mandarin.
00:26:06.880 Now, if you know anything about politics and demographics in China, Mandarin is the language
00:26:13.120 of mainland China. It is the language of Beijing. It is the language of the communist party of China.
00:26:17.920 And Cantonese is the language of, of Hong Kong and a little bit Macau. Uh, and if it was really
00:26:25.760 a Hong Kong rioter that just happened to be in Washington DC, they'd be speaking Cantonese.
00:26:31.360 Of course not. They were speaking Mandarin. It's I, and I don't want to be that person
00:26:35.680 that calls it early and says, yeah, that was Chinese operative there. But I mean,
00:26:40.160 why were they doing that? Yeah. And you see these, um, you know, these Chinese outlets online,
00:26:46.720 um, and either they're cheering for the unrest in the United States or they are looking to,
00:26:58.080 I don't know how to phrase it. They're looking to equate the unrest and the rioting in the United
00:27:04.320 States to the, um, protests for freedom, the peace, incredibly peaceful protests for freedom
00:27:12.560 in Hong Kong. And Trump is going to, and it's already started, crack down on this mob violence,
00:27:22.000 um, very hard, um, with the force of the state. And I think the Chinese are looking to
00:27:31.360 use that opportunity to do the same in Hong Kong. Yeah. In all cases, what they're trying to do
00:27:37.200 is discredit the American government. Um, in everything they publish in all of their operations
00:27:42.800 overseas, they're trying their best to, um, to, to destabilize Donald Trump and stabilize, uh,
00:27:50.320 the American public, uh, civil, uh, the, the, um, just the general public and the government. Uh,
00:27:58.640 and they do that by trying to say that somehow the American government, um, is, is brutal,
00:28:04.480 is brutalizing black people, uh, and, and putting up propaganda in their, in their many different
00:28:09.440 ways that they do. Uh, but the difference between the American government and the government in Hong
00:28:14.320 Kong could not be more stark in the American government. You don't have people storming the
00:28:19.520 speaker's chair and surrounding them with security so that they can hold, uh, the speaker, uh, speaker
00:28:25.920 position of, of committees. Um, people in the United States are duly elected. There's a democratic country
00:28:32.160 and it's clear, uh, how their government operates, but in Hong Kong, even people living in Hong Kong
00:28:38.080 can't understand why their government is collapsing so quickly in the hands of Beijing. They can't
00:28:43.200 explain why there's armed security surrounding the dais, uh, in, in the legislature in Hong Kong.
00:28:50.960 They don't, they don't even get what's going on because Beijing already has an iron fisted grip
00:28:55.840 on that, on that Pacific city there. So, um, comparing the two is, is a complete farce. Uh,
00:29:02.640 and anytime that you see something like that, you, you should be even more critical. You should be about
00:29:07.680 as critical as you are at the mainstream media because it is likely Chinese propaganda if you're
00:29:12.240 seeing something along the lines of that. Yeah. And, um, we are no, um, strangers to seeing
00:29:19.120 the mainstream media repeat Chinese propaganda verbatim. I think the entire coronavirus outbreak has been
00:29:25.280 just a big exercise in that. Um, Keen, I think you have one petition, uh, out there right now.
00:29:32.480 Um, hands off our guns. Um, you and I were talking off camera that, um, well, I had mentioned that I
00:29:39.760 did get the little pamphlet in the mail from the RCMP saying, Hey, some of your guns might be declassified
00:29:45.360 or reclassified, um, to prohibited. We don't know what they are and things are changing. So check the website
00:29:51.440 and things are changing. Um, because, uh, last week, the RCMP reclassified a 410 bird gun.
00:30:00.320 So like a little kid's first shotgun, like the one you get when you turn eight, um,
00:30:04.640 the RCMP have reclassified that one. So while Justin Trudeau says that this is military style
00:30:10.960 assault weapons, no, these are like kids guns and ladies 22s. It's outrageous.
00:30:17.200 Yeah. Uh, there's, there's so many reasons why you should, why, why folks should be signing that
00:30:21.600 petition, uh, hands off our guns from the complete list mismanagement and undemocratic process that
00:30:27.440 they followed to restrict these guns, uh, to the fact that one of these guns you might own,
00:30:32.400 and it might've been given to you from your grandfather. Uh, you inherited from him. I
00:30:37.920 know that that's the case for me. Luckily none of those firearms were on that list, but I, I did get
00:30:44.640 firearms from, from my grandfather and, uh, he's not here anymore. And I remember him best
00:30:50.400 from, from that gun that I have in my safe. It's something that him and I shot gophers with when I was
00:30:54.720 young. Uh, and, and if Justin Trudeau was to take that away from me, it would be heartbreaking.
00:31:00.800 Yeah. Uh, imagine Justin Trudeau walking into your house and saying, no, that blanket that your
00:31:05.040 mother knit for you when you were a child, that teddy bear that you got, uh, no, that has to come
00:31:09.520 with me. That's actually, that's actually the government's property. Now you have to sell it to me
00:31:13.040 for $2. Uh, it's insane. Nobody would, nobody would agree to that, but because there's a bunch of white
00:31:18.960 liberals in Toronto saying that guns are spooky and scary and I'm scared of, uh, I see guns and I hear
00:31:24.960 guns on the news of people getting shot in Toronto, uh, because they're, it's gang violence and those were
00:31:30.000 actually illegal guns. You in rural, rural ass Alberta need to give me your, your, the, your,
00:31:38.320 this prized possession of yours. It's absolutely insane. So go to, if they go to handsofferguns.ca,
00:31:43.520 sign that petition. We're going to be sending that to Bill Blair, the loser that replaced Ralph Goodell.
00:31:50.480 Yeah. The guy who oversaw the explosion of gun violence in Toronto has got all the answers
00:31:56.000 to deal with gun violence in the rest of the country. I like you, I'm in the same boat. Um,
00:32:00.960 uh, guns that I inherited from my dad, my dad passed when I was quite young. Um, one of my fondest
00:32:06.880 memories is shooting gophers with him sitting on the tailgate of his beat up Ford courier. And I want
00:32:12.800 to be able to give that to my daughter, um, who's the marksman of the family. And, um, if Justin Trudeau has
00:32:19.600 his way, that's not going to happen. Um, I'm going to have to sell my family heirloom to Justin Trudeau
00:32:25.120 so that it can be destroyed. And, uh, I'm so proud of you for fighting back because if you and I are in
00:32:30.640 this boat, thousands upon thousands of other Canadians are going to be suffering the same
00:32:36.000 sort of losses and it's not a financial loss. Yeah. It sort of sucks. Um, but it is, um,
00:32:41.840 it's your family history that Justin Trudeau is going to strip from us. So, um, yes, that's at
00:32:46.720 handsoffourguns.ca. Uh, Kian, you've been very generous with your time and I want to thank you
00:32:52.880 for coming on the show. I will make sure you come on the show more frequently rather than allow the
00:32:58.160 viewers to demand it of me and badger me into doing it. But I know you have a lot of work, um,
00:33:03.760 to get out there and do, um, you're busy holding the government to account and, uh, our, our media
00:33:10.000 friends to account also. So thank you very much, Kian. No problem. That's fine. Let's do it again.
00:33:22.560 If anything, the new age of the coronavirus has really demonstrated just how riddled with hypocrisy
00:33:29.600 left-wing ideology tends to be. I mean, if you needed more proof of that and you should not have
00:33:36.640 needed more proof of that. But let me explain. The very same people engaged in large-scale mass
00:33:44.240 protesting or exhibiting support for the large-scale mass protesting this week in Toronto were the very
00:33:52.400 same people expressing outrage because a bunch of normal people wanted to use a city park last week
00:33:58.320 and things then got a little too crowded. Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's public health officer, encouraged
00:34:07.760 prohibitions on people attending their churches and Easter celebrations with their families. Yet now
00:34:15.360 she's giving her endorsement for people to attend large-scale protests. Just don't speak moistly, you see.
00:34:24.080 Either the public health emergency caused by the coronavirus wasn't the emergency that they thought
00:34:29.680 it was and that they told us it was, or they actually think that this is an emergency but their
00:34:35.840 cause of the day makes them immune to the health implications. But these people can't have it both
00:34:42.240 ways. Well everybody, that's the show for tonight. Thank you so much for tuning in. I'll see everybody back
00:34:47.680 here in the same time, in the same place next week. And remember, don't let the government tell you that
00:34:53.440 you've had too much to think.
