00:00:00.000 Hey, folks, today's podcast, I think it'll get you revved up.
00:00:02.840 I'm so mad about it.
00:00:04.420 I can't believe it, but Rachel Notley,
00:00:06.280 the disgraced former premier of Alberta,
00:00:08.080 who's now the leader of the opposition,
00:00:10.680 her big campaign this week, I'm not even kidding,
00:00:12.660 I'll prove it to you,
00:00:13.760 is to call for censorship on university campuses.
00:00:16.800 She's literally opposing something called
00:00:19.600 the Chicago Principles, which is a free speech declaration
00:00:21.860 that campuses in Alberta are making.
00:00:23.700 This is her hill to die on.
00:00:25.980 She wants censorship.
00:00:27.240 I think it's amazing.
00:00:29.060 Anyways, before I get out of the way
00:00:31.320 and let you listen to the show,
00:00:32.420 can I invite you to become a subscriber

00:01:01.580 to become a premium subscriber.
00:01:03.460 All right, here's the podcast.
00:01:05.940 You're listening to a Rebel Media podcast.
00:01:09.160 Tonight, it's shocking but not surprising.
00:01:12.120 The NDP officially comes out
00:01:14.100 as an anti-free speech party.
00:01:16.420 It's August 1st, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:18.640 Why should others go to jail
00:01:22.260 when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:24.440 There's 8,500 customers here,
00:01:26.740 and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:28.500 The only thing I have to say to the government
00:01:30.460 about why I publish it
00:01:32.000 is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:39.680 Amazing.
00:01:40.160 Amazing and heartbreaking and enraging.
00:01:43.120 Rachel Notley, the disgraced former premier of Alberta,
00:01:46.140 has made opposing free speech
00:01:48.300 on university campuses her latest crusade.
00:01:52.780 I suppose her weird campaign
00:01:55.040 to make sure gay student sex clubs
00:01:59.140 in high schools remain secret from parents.
00:02:03.160 Jason Kennedy's not banning
00:02:04.100 those gay-straight alliances.
00:02:05.320 He's just stopping them from being secret.
00:02:07.380 I suppose that campaign
00:02:09.820 was getting a bit stale for Notley,
00:02:11.300 so she's moved on.
00:02:14.120 She's chosen to fight for censorship now.
00:02:18.240 She's not even hiding it.
00:02:19.600 As I mentioned earlier this week,
00:02:20.960 the first universities in the province
00:02:22.640 are now rolling out their free speech principles
00:02:24.400 based on a template
00:02:25.940 from the University of Chicago.
00:02:27.840 This is good for everyone.
00:02:30.560 Should I remind you
00:02:31.240 that Alberta's official motto is
00:02:32.680 strong and free.
00:02:34.000 It's taken from our anthem.
00:02:34.880 But here's what Notley wrote yesterday.
00:02:39.060 This is not about free speech on campus.
00:02:40.860 We already have free speech.
00:02:42.700 This is the United Conservative Party
00:02:43.980 dictating that universities and colleges
00:02:45.920 owe everyone, including hate groups,
00:02:48.160 a platform.
00:02:50.380 And she was replying to a comment
00:02:52.200 from her former education minister,
00:02:54.200 David Egan,
00:02:54.840 just a quick reminder of who he is.
00:02:57.520 No new approvals.
00:02:59.140 No new approvals.
00:03:00.860 No new approvals.
00:03:02.240 No new approvals.
00:03:04.200 Yeah, so he seems to be someone
00:03:05.820 who likes to use free speech himself
00:03:07.560 to make a bit of a fool of himself,
00:03:09.460 but that's the fun of free speech sometimes.
00:03:12.520 So he likes his point of view
00:03:13.740 having free speech,
00:03:14.600 but not for others.
00:03:15.520 He said,
00:03:16.440 he was tweeting about letters
00:03:17.720 sent from the new Alberta government
00:03:19.220 to universities
00:03:20.420 asking them to adopt
00:03:21.360 their own free speech policies.
00:03:22.720 Egan found this scandalous.
00:03:24.660 I'll get back to these politicians
00:03:25.780 in a moment.
00:03:26.600 Give me a second just to recap
00:03:27.800 what we're talking about here.
00:03:28.800 Now twice I've told you
00:03:29.500 about the Chicago principles
00:03:30.500 for free speech on campus, right?
00:03:32.080 And it's called that
00:03:33.020 because the University of Chicago
00:03:34.120 really worked out its rules
00:03:35.520 on freedom of speech on campus
00:03:36.720 and their resulting declaration
00:03:39.200 was so good,
00:03:40.940 it's just two and a half pages long
00:03:42.380 and it's written
00:03:42.780 in really plain language.
00:03:44.980 It's not a technical
00:03:45.860 or a legal document.
00:03:47.080 Now that's a miracle in itself
00:03:48.500 if you know professors.
00:03:49.840 I mean that a group of professors
00:03:50.820 can say something
00:03:51.500 in plain English,
00:03:52.820 which is sort of the opposite
00:03:54.420 of the kind of postmodern gobbledygook
00:03:55.980 that you hear so often
00:03:57.100 from professors.
00:03:57.880 And I should say one more thing.
00:03:58.840 Chicago is a city
00:04:00.920 that has a deep communist history to it,
00:04:04.320 like Winnipeg in a way.
00:04:06.380 Chicago has communist activists.
00:04:08.860 It's where Bill Ayers,
00:04:10.460 the terrorist, is from.
00:04:11.700 It's got communist politicians.
00:04:13.060 It's had communist riots.
00:04:15.100 It has a deep left wing.
00:04:16.980 It's where Barack Obama has his base.
00:04:19.020 It's where Saul Alinsky,
00:04:21.640 the communist professor,
00:04:23.380 developed his theory
00:04:24.220 of North American Marxist activism
00:04:26.340 called community organizing.
00:04:29.300 It's where Alinsky wrote his Antifa cookbook
00:04:32.660 called Rules for Radicals.
00:04:34.840 So that's Chicago.
00:04:36.180 In fact, as I showed you the other day,
00:04:37.560 the Chicago principles refer
00:04:39.000 to when the leader of the Communist Party
00:04:41.540 came to speak on campus
00:04:42.840 and there was a protest
00:04:43.780 against the communists.
00:04:46.120 But the university held firm
00:04:47.200 and said free speech for everyone.
00:04:48.800 I read this the other day,
00:04:49.720 but please let me read it again.
00:04:52.660 30 years later,
00:04:53.680 a student organization
00:04:54.640 invited William Z. Foster,
00:04:57.000 the Communist Party's candidate
00:04:58.080 for president,
00:04:58.940 to lecture on campus.
00:05:00.240 This triggered a storm of protests
00:05:01.420 from critics both on and off campus
00:05:03.040 to those who condemn the university
00:05:04.480 for allowing the event.
00:05:06.320 President Robert M. Hutchins
00:05:08.240 responded that
00:05:08.960 our students should have freedom
00:05:10.580 to discuss any problem
00:05:11.520 that presents itself.
00:05:12.680 He insisted that
00:05:13.360 the cure for ideas we oppose
00:05:14.860 lies through open discussion
00:05:16.380 rather than through inhibition.
00:05:18.460 On a later occasion,
00:05:19.540 Hutchins added that
00:05:20.400 free inquiry is indispensable
00:05:22.080 to the good life.
00:05:23.240 The universities exist
00:05:24.080 for the sake of such inquiry
00:05:25.260 and that without it
00:05:26.280 they cease to be universities.
00:05:29.020 And that's the thing
00:05:29.680 about freedom of speech.
00:05:30.540 It's something you have to give
00:05:31.440 to your opponents
00:05:32.000 if you want it for yourself.
00:05:33.100 I'm sorry,
00:05:33.360 that's just how it works.
00:05:34.360 Free speech for both sides,
00:05:35.340 for all sides,
00:05:35.860 that's just the only way it works.
00:05:37.140 I point this out
00:05:37.720 because of course the left
00:05:38.620 has used free speech
00:05:39.820 as a tool historically
00:05:41.320 when they have had
00:05:42.420 no other source of power.
00:05:43.900 Three obvious examples
00:05:44.960 come to my mind
00:05:45.580 in North America.
00:05:46.180 The suffragette movement
00:05:47.100 to give women the right to vote,
00:05:49.040 the black civil rights movement
00:05:50.500 in the 60s,
00:05:51.780 and the gay rights movement
00:05:53.080 of the 70s and 80s.
00:05:54.560 In each of those cases
00:05:55.780 the proposed reforms
00:05:57.360 were opposed by the establishment,
00:05:59.860 by the money,
00:06:00.400 by the power,
00:06:01.000 by inertia.
00:06:01.960 But the power of free speech
00:06:03.460 to promote an idea
00:06:05.060 overcame that all.
00:06:06.980 That's one of the wonderful messages
00:06:08.400 in that great movie
00:06:09.460 about the abolition of slavery
00:06:11.300 in the British Empire.
00:06:13.000 The movie's called
00:06:13.520 Amazing Grace.
00:06:14.560 It was argued
00:06:15.320 that slavery was in the economic interest
00:06:18.460 of the British Empire.
00:06:19.420 I put it to you that it was not,
00:06:20.540 but many people back then
00:06:21.880 obviously thought it was.
00:06:23.560 But the power of ideas
00:06:24.680 and free speech
00:06:25.340 overcame everything.
00:06:27.280 Or back to the Chicago Principles.
00:06:28.840 Let me quote.
00:06:29.960 It is not the proper role
00:06:30.780 of the university
00:06:31.260 to attempt to shield individuals
00:06:32.460 from ideas and opinions
00:06:33.380 they find unwelcome,
00:06:34.620 disagreeable,
00:06:35.280 or even deeply offensive.
00:06:36.640 As in,
00:06:37.360 I'm sure those progressives
00:06:38.680 or leftists or reformers
00:06:39.860 or whatever you want to call them
00:06:40.740 who called for the abolition
00:06:41.900 of slavery
00:06:42.540 or the abolition
00:06:43.880 of male-only voting
00:06:45.140 or the abolition
00:06:45.680 of Jim Crow laws
00:06:46.940 in the South
00:06:47.460 or for the end
00:06:48.660 of the criminalization
00:06:49.620 of homosexuality.
00:06:50.540 I'm sure all of those activists
00:06:52.320 would have been called
00:06:52.960 unwelcome,
00:06:53.940 disagreeable,
00:06:54.760 and deeply offensive
00:06:55.580 to quote the Chicago Principles
00:06:57.300 because being offensive
00:06:59.520 is in the eye of the beholder.
00:07:01.520 And new ideas
00:07:02.240 that call for the change
00:07:03.800 of the old ideas
00:07:04.880 are by definition
00:07:06.680 they're offensive
00:07:07.540 to the order of the day.
00:07:08.840 Surely a radical
00:07:09.720 should know that.
00:07:10.680 Saul Alinsky's rules
00:07:11.900 for radicals
00:07:12.960 depend completely
00:07:14.240 on freedom of speech
00:07:15.020 by the way.
00:07:15.680 That's the American version
00:07:16.780 of his Marxism.
00:07:18.120 The Leninists
00:07:18.740 in the Russian Revolution
00:07:19.980 used guns.
00:07:21.740 Alinsky saw
00:07:22.320 he didn't need guns
00:07:23.520 if he could convince
00:07:24.680 people in America
00:07:25.560 through political action
00:07:26.540 through free speech.
00:07:27.500 He liked free speech
00:07:28.240 at least for himself
00:07:29.280 because he regarded
00:07:30.960 all the power structures
00:07:31.720 of the day
00:07:32.060 as right-wing.
00:07:32.760 The church,
00:07:33.280 the university,
00:07:33.840 the congress,
00:07:34.300 the military,
00:07:34.740 whatever.
00:07:35.020 Now, 50 years later,
00:07:37.060 Alinsky's disciples
00:07:38.020 have taken over
00:07:38.840 many of those institutions
00:07:39.880 which is maybe
00:07:40.600 why leftists today
00:07:41.840 don't like free speech
00:07:42.640 so much anymore
00:07:43.240 because now they're
00:07:44.000 on the inside
00:07:44.580 not the outs.
00:07:45.880 And I tell you all this
00:07:46.620 because the biggest opponent
00:07:47.560 of this new free speech
00:07:48.920 policy in Canada
00:07:49.880 right now
00:07:50.420 is a leftist,
00:07:51.980 Rachel Notley.
00:07:53.180 Her opposition NDP
00:07:54.240 is making it
00:07:54.840 their big focus.
00:07:55.780 I showed you Notley's tweet
00:07:56.720 claiming that free speech
00:07:58.040 is just fine in Alberta
00:07:59.460 and her former
00:08:00.100 education minister
00:08:00.860 saying he's outraged
00:08:01.980 by the government
00:08:02.540 asking schools
00:08:03.680 to develop free speech
00:08:04.720 policies.
00:08:05.480 It's the whole crew.
00:08:07.260 Here's Kathleen Ganley
00:08:08.300 who was Rachel Notley's
00:08:09.800 justice minister
00:08:10.400 until they were all
00:08:11.060 thrown out by voters.
00:08:12.160 She said,
00:08:12.560 My colleague David Egan
00:08:14.900 received these letters
00:08:15.860 from post-secondary leaders
00:08:17.100 concerned about
00:08:18.040 the extreme
00:08:19.160 Chicago principles
00:08:20.740 which will allow
00:08:21.760 hate speech
00:08:22.260 to spread
00:08:22.780 on Alberta campuses.
00:08:24.580 Now if she means
00:08:25.200 by hate speech
00:08:26.180 simply speech
00:08:27.700 that she and the NDP
00:08:28.700 hate
00:08:29.020 then I think
00:08:29.620 she's 100% right
00:08:30.420 because no longer
00:08:31.680 will left-wing
00:08:32.260 activists like her
00:08:33.400 be able to ban
00:08:34.060 their enemies
00:08:34.620 from speaking on campus.
00:08:36.040 They hate their enemies.
00:08:36.860 They hate
00:08:37.140 our own Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:08:39.100 and they sent an armed sheriff
00:08:40.300 to kick her off
00:08:41.060 the legislature.
00:08:41.540 They hate her.
00:08:43.540 That was under
00:08:44.000 Kathleen Ganley's watch
00:08:44.920 by the way.
00:08:45.300 You know Ganley's office
00:08:46.080 actually sent us
00:08:46.800 a bizarre letter
00:08:47.680 saying that no one
00:08:49.140 even connected
00:08:49.900 with the rebel.
00:08:50.760 Does that include
00:08:51.500 my mechanic
00:08:52.560 by the way?
00:08:53.280 He's connected
00:08:53.760 to the rebel.
00:08:54.860 What does it even mean?
00:08:55.580 No one connected
00:08:56.120 to the rebel
00:08:56.500 can attend
00:08:57.180 any government event
00:08:58.060 ever.
00:08:58.960 That's the kind of letter
00:08:59.800 a child would write
00:09:00.680 but it actually came to us
00:09:01.580 on official stationery
00:09:03.220 from Alberta's
00:09:03.820 Justice Department
00:09:04.620 under Kathleen Ghanney.
00:09:05.980 So yeah,
00:09:07.200 she's full of hate
00:09:08.200 for people like Sheila
00:09:09.140 and me and others
00:09:10.120 but I'm sorry
00:09:11.180 that is not enough
00:09:12.080 to ban people
00:09:13.040 or at least not anymore.
00:09:14.460 Sorry NDP.
00:09:16.100 Here's a few more
00:09:16.720 quick comments from her.
00:09:17.800 I think it's important.
00:09:18.960 Someone pointed out to her
00:09:19.880 that hate speech
00:09:21.160 as defined in the criminal code
00:09:22.740 which I don't really like
00:09:24.000 being in the criminal code
00:09:24.680 but it's there.
00:09:25.360 It still would be banned
00:09:26.460 under the Chicago principles
00:09:27.460 and she responded by saying
00:09:28.640 hate speech is prohibited
00:09:30.780 on its face
00:09:31.760 this should be enough
00:09:32.460 but that standard
00:09:33.400 to prove is high
00:09:34.480 and the wait
00:09:34.920 to hearing long.
00:09:36.300 Basically the privileged group
00:09:37.460 gets to spew hate
00:09:38.560 those effective
00:09:39.560 can try to get legal remedy
00:09:40.760 at cost of themselves.
00:09:42.560 Oh, okay.
00:09:43.760 So what the NDP means then
00:09:45.800 is that sure
00:09:46.820 hate speech
00:09:48.200 actual law breaking
00:09:49.480 of the criminal variety
00:09:50.260 it's still banned.
00:09:51.020 Okay, fine.
00:09:52.240 And that's enforced
00:09:53.000 by the government
00:09:53.700 police, prosecutors
00:09:54.700 real courts.
00:09:56.740 But what she wants banned
00:09:58.160 and what she's sad
00:09:59.820 that it won't be banned anymore
00:10:01.120 now that she's not in charge
00:10:02.820 is speech by
00:10:03.500 privileged groups.
00:10:06.340 Now that's quite something
00:10:07.020 to hear
00:10:07.320 coming from a rich
00:10:08.660 white liberal lawyer
00:10:09.920 but again
00:10:10.660 she just really means
00:10:12.180 the people she hates
00:10:13.180 like journalists
00:10:14.700 and public interest lawyers
00:10:15.820 to disagree with her.
00:10:16.720 Here, let me read
00:10:17.260 this is incredible.
00:10:18.240 She said
00:10:18.580 people
00:10:19.900 including lawyers
00:10:21.120 and judges
00:10:21.680 differ on where the balance is.
00:10:23.620 The point of this move
00:10:24.620 is to allow the Ann Coulters
00:10:26.300 and John Carpays
00:10:27.320 of the world
00:10:27.740 to speak from a stage.
00:10:29.400 In my view
00:10:29.840 the existing policies
00:10:30.780 strike the right balance.
00:10:33.000 So she's not even talking
00:10:34.140 about banning
00:10:34.780 actual Nazis
00:10:36.340 if there were any
00:10:37.820 I don't think there
00:10:38.520 are really any Nazis
00:10:40.560 in Canada
00:10:41.080 who are real Nazis
00:10:41.940 there's a few
00:10:42.420 basement dwelling
00:10:43.320 failure to launch
00:10:44.280 losers
00:10:44.780 pretending to be Nazis
00:10:46.720 on the internet
00:10:48.160 there's about a hundred
00:10:49.120 undercover cops
00:10:50.240 and agent provocateurs
00:10:51.680 that's not who
00:10:53.460 Ganley is worried about.
00:10:54.460 If there is a real
00:10:55.160 Nazi in Canada
00:10:56.080 Kathleen Ganley
00:10:57.280 didn't mention him
00:10:58.680 she wants to ban
00:11:00.200 you saw her
00:11:01.040 Ann Coulter
00:11:02.840 she's a conservative
00:11:05.260 journalist
00:11:05.980 and author
00:11:06.680 and John Carpay
00:11:08.580 you know John Carpay
00:11:09.520 he's a free speech lawyer
00:11:10.560 we've had on our show
00:11:12.040 a dozen times
00:11:12.940 we always knew
00:11:14.620 this is who
00:11:15.120 Ganley and the NDP
00:11:16.320 wanted to ban
00:11:16.900 it's just weird
00:11:17.400 to see her admit it
00:11:18.200 it's not about
00:11:18.720 banning Nazis
00:11:19.460 I don't even think
00:11:20.340 there are any
00:11:21.180 she wants to ban
00:11:22.600 her conservative opponents
00:11:23.700 this is not about
00:11:24.740 banning criminals
00:11:25.340 or for those
00:11:26.120 even calling for violence
00:11:27.060 it's about censoring
00:11:28.300 people who disagree
00:11:29.040 with her
00:11:29.320 like they tried
00:11:29.740 to do with Sheila
00:11:30.340 actually they're still
00:11:31.540 doing that to Sheila
00:11:32.320 through the election
00:11:33.460 commissioner
00:11:33.940 that Notley
00:11:34.840 handpicked
00:11:35.500 and that Jason Kenney
00:11:36.700 has allowed to continue
00:11:37.760 investigating Notley's
00:11:39.080 enemies list
00:11:40.200 it's still going on
00:11:40.900 under Jason Kenney
00:11:41.540 anyways
00:11:41.860 another tweet from Ganley
00:11:43.240 just because she's really
00:11:44.280 letting us see
00:11:45.680 the NDP's mind
00:11:47.340 she said
00:11:47.900 I hold this for you
00:11:49.700 because I think
00:11:50.180 that the Chicago
00:11:50.720 principles rely
00:11:51.680 on the assumption
00:11:52.360 that everyone in society
00:11:53.740 has equal power
00:11:54.600 these speakers are
00:11:55.520 allowed to come
00:11:56.180 claim they won't
00:11:56.840 incite hate
00:11:57.600 then the onus
00:11:58.500 is on the listener
00:11:59.200 to prove the hate
00:12:00.560 incited was intentional
00:12:02.040 yeah that's how it
00:12:04.360 works in our society
00:12:05.220 we don't
00:12:05.900 the default is
00:12:07.460 for freedom
00:12:07.960 the default isn't
00:12:08.960 that you have to
00:12:09.400 make your case
00:12:10.140 to be free
00:12:10.980 the default is
00:12:11.840 on the government
00:12:12.440 to ban something
00:12:13.540 the onus
00:12:14.700 excuse me
00:12:15.280 the onus is on
00:12:16.240 the government
00:12:16.560 to ban something
00:12:17.400 we don't have to
00:12:18.120 prove we're innocent
00:12:18.980 you have to
00:12:19.900 prove we're guilty
00:12:20.600 that's how it works
00:12:21.220 in a free country
00:12:22.040 but Kathleen Ganley
00:12:22.760 doesn't understand
00:12:23.640 how free speech
00:12:24.700 works today
00:12:25.400 or historically
00:12:26.120 I gave you
00:12:27.080 some examples earlier
00:12:28.060 Ganley doesn't
00:12:29.740 understand
00:12:30.300 Martin Luther King
00:12:31.080 or Mahatma Gandhi
00:12:32.520 or the suffragettes
00:12:34.000 they didn't have
00:12:35.820 power
00:12:36.340 if by power
00:12:37.760 you mean
00:12:38.280 government power
00:12:39.640 or commercial power
00:12:40.620 or any establishment
00:12:41.880 they did not
00:12:42.940 but instead
00:12:44.760 they had the power
00:12:46.260 of an idea
00:12:46.820 whose time
00:12:47.280 had come
00:12:47.600 and the right
00:12:48.520 to communicate
00:12:50.440 it freely
00:12:51.000 even if the
00:12:52.360 justiceman
00:12:52.840 the Kathleen
00:12:53.320 Ganley
00:12:53.660 of the day
00:12:54.100 was offended
00:12:54.860 by it
00:12:55.580 so those
00:12:57.440 otherwise
00:12:58.400 powerless people
00:12:59.300 use free speech
00:13:00.180 as their power
00:13:00.860 Ganley doesn't
00:13:01.700 know that
00:13:02.080 or she
00:13:02.340 she knows it
00:13:03.260 but she doesn't
00:13:03.640 believe conservatives
00:13:04.280 should have access
00:13:04.840 to that power too
00:13:05.820 everyone in Canada
00:13:07.480 no matter how rich
00:13:08.160 or poor
00:13:08.500 has the right
00:13:09.860 and the power
00:13:10.460 of free speech
00:13:11.100 Ganley doesn't
00:13:12.120 understand
00:13:12.640 that free speech
00:13:13.480 is for the powerless
00:13:14.460 if you're already
00:13:15.340 a senator
00:13:16.020 if you're already
00:13:16.820 rich
00:13:17.420 if you're already
00:13:17.980 you don't need
00:13:18.540 free speech
00:13:18.980 you got it all
00:13:19.780 all right
00:13:20.720 one last tweet
00:13:21.300 from her again
00:13:21.820 this is not least
00:13:23.220 former justice minister
00:13:24.200 until a couple
00:13:24.800 of months ago
00:13:25.260 Kathleen Ganley
00:13:26.020 says
00:13:26.360 John Carpe's
00:13:28.980 legal interpretation
00:13:30.800 is hardly the gold
00:13:31.800 standard on this one
00:13:32.720 there are different
00:13:33.540 opinions on where
00:13:34.140 the delicate balance
00:13:34.820 is but
00:13:35.120 you propose
00:13:36.220 no balance at all
00:13:37.000 it's an intentional
00:13:37.720 move to broaden
00:13:38.500 policies to invite in
00:13:39.740 racists
00:13:41.040 homophobes
00:13:42.180 and misogynists
00:13:43.200 all right
00:13:44.740 well first of all
00:13:45.280 although I don't
00:13:45.920 support people
00:13:46.880 being racist
00:13:47.960 homophobic
00:13:48.540 or misogynistic
00:13:49.320 all of those words
00:13:50.560 imply a hateful
00:13:51.760 bigotry
00:13:53.160 so I mean
00:13:53.580 obviously I'm against that
00:13:54.740 but I also know
00:13:56.360 that those are not
00:13:57.020 those are not crimes
00:13:58.400 those are ideas
00:13:59.140 those are
00:13:59.580 those are philosophies
00:14:00.800 or bigotries
00:14:01.820 I suppose
00:14:02.180 and if you oppose ideas
00:14:03.880 okay well then
00:14:05.700 then debate them
00:14:06.680 and anyways
00:14:08.240 and more to the point
00:14:08.740 Kenley and the left
00:14:09.520 I don't think
00:14:10.420 they actually care
00:14:11.020 that much about
00:14:11.580 those things in reality
00:14:12.300 they just care about
00:14:13.200 using those things
00:14:14.200 as insults
00:14:15.020 to label and de-platform
00:14:16.400 and silence their opponents
00:14:17.340 it's Trudeau's move too
00:14:18.780 label everyone
00:14:19.680 they don't like
00:14:20.220 as Nazis
00:14:21.220 so I don't even think
00:14:22.740 this is a good faith
00:14:23.500 objection by Kenley
00:14:24.380 I'm going to stop there
00:14:25.100 but believe me
00:14:25.800 that is just a sample
00:14:27.660 the Alberta NDP
00:14:29.500 and all their disgraced
00:14:30.380 former ministers
00:14:30.980 and their party staff
00:14:32.000 they are making this
00:14:33.760 their big push
00:14:35.720 this is their big thing
00:14:37.460 right now
00:14:37.900 and they're just coming
00:14:39.660 right out and saying
00:14:40.360 it they're against
00:14:41.620 free speech
00:14:42.360 on campuses
00:14:43.440 of all places
00:14:44.400 they're not even
00:14:45.440 pretending anymore
00:14:46.240 they were pretending
00:14:47.880 until they lost
00:14:48.580 the election
00:14:49.040 now they're showing us
00:14:50.380 who they are
00:14:50.900 who they always have been
00:14:52.020 I've always known
00:14:52.940 maybe you have too
00:14:53.840 I guess it was no joke
00:14:55.220 you know
00:14:56.040 Nali used to wear
00:14:57.280 a watch
00:14:58.320 with Che Guevara
00:14:59.400 the racist
00:15:00.340 communist murderer
00:15:01.340 on he was a murderer
00:15:02.160 20 times his age
00:15:04.120 when she looked
00:15:04.720 at what time it was
00:15:05.540 she would look
00:15:06.000 at Che Guevara
00:15:06.640 who does that
00:15:08.680 now she took
00:15:10.240 that watch off
00:15:10.940 when she became
00:15:11.460 premier
00:15:11.800 and reporters
00:15:12.680 noticed it
00:15:13.380 I bet she's wearing
00:15:14.660 that watch again
00:15:15.320 now that she's not
00:15:16.020 premier anymore
00:15:16.600 I guess the NDP
00:15:18.780 weren't kidding
00:15:19.300 when their MLA
00:15:20.000 celebrated
00:15:22.000 Hugo Chavez
00:15:23.620 the late communist
00:15:25.320 butcher
00:15:25.720 of Venezuela
00:15:26.600 I guess they really
00:15:41.240 always were censors
00:15:42.500 and authoritarian bullies
00:15:43.720 they just tried to
00:15:44.580 hide it for four years
00:15:45.440 I'm shocked by them
00:15:46.660 but I'm not surprised
00:15:47.620 by them
00:15:47.980 and I'm not surprised
00:15:49.180 that the mainstream media
00:15:50.160 doesn't have a word
00:15:50.700 to say about
00:15:51.440 any of this censorship
00:15:52.560 by the NDP
00:15:53.120 in fact judging
00:15:53.800 by the little coverage
00:15:55.780 of it that there is
00:15:56.420 calling free speech
00:15:57.100 controversial
00:15:57.600 it's controversial
00:15:58.740 to be for free speech
00:15:59.840 it's not controversial
00:16:00.900 to be against it
00:16:01.700 it looks like the media
00:16:02.800 party agrees with
00:16:03.620 Notley
00:16:03.920 some voices
00:16:05.080 just shouldn't be
00:16:05.940 heard apparently
00:16:06.740 it makes me think
00:16:07.500 of another Chicagoan
00:16:10.200 or he was born
00:16:10.980 in Kentucky
00:16:11.520 moved to Illinois
00:16:12.500 I mean Abraham Lincoln
00:16:16.420 you know he had
00:16:18.220 this saying about
00:16:18.800 slavery
00:16:19.140 he said
00:16:19.620 whenever I hear
00:16:21.500 anyone arguing
00:16:22.240 for slavery
00:16:23.160 I feel a strong
00:16:24.960 impulse to see
00:16:25.980 it tried on him
00:16:26.900 personally
00:16:27.800 isn't that a great line
00:16:29.040 now Lincoln
00:16:29.780 didn't mean it
00:16:30.420 of course
00:16:30.780 he didn't actually
00:16:31.660 want to clap
00:16:33.080 his opponents
00:16:33.640 and change
00:16:34.300 but he was making
00:16:35.160 the point
00:16:35.640 you seem to like
00:16:37.560 freedom for yourself
00:16:38.500 you just don't want
00:16:39.120 it for others
00:16:39.500 I feel the same way
00:16:40.280 about Rachel Notley
00:16:40.920 Kathleen Ganley
00:16:41.940 and even more so
00:16:43.120 about the mainstream
00:16:43.560 media journalists
00:16:44.260 who agree with
00:16:45.640 those NDPers
00:16:46.420 on the need for censorship
00:16:47.300 let me tweak
00:16:48.220 Lincoln
00:16:48.920 whenever I hear
00:16:49.820 anyone arguing
00:16:50.520 for censorship
00:16:51.220 I feel a strong
00:16:52.300 impulse to see
00:16:53.020 it tried on him
00:16:53.620 personally
00:16:54.120 yeah
00:16:55.820 I gotta say
00:16:56.700 sometimes I do too
00:16:57.820 stay with us
00:16:58.980 for more on this
00:16:59.760 well I for one
00:17:15.260 am not surprised
00:17:16.620 that Rachel Notley
00:17:18.500 is finally letting
00:17:19.700 the mask slip
00:17:20.760 and revealing
00:17:21.440 that she doesn't
00:17:23.300 believe in free speech
00:17:24.960 for her opponents
00:17:26.100 she has some
00:17:27.400 of the craziest kooks
00:17:28.460 in the province
00:17:29.100 in her party
00:17:30.000 and that's all fine
00:17:31.580 but someone
00:17:32.660 she disagrees with
00:17:33.440 new new new
00:17:34.220 she wants them censored
00:17:35.800 well someone
00:17:36.780 that Rachel Notley
00:17:37.760 has tried
00:17:38.540 and failed
00:17:39.600 to shut up
00:17:41.000 is our favorite person
00:17:42.860 Sheila Gunn-Reed
00:17:43.980 our chief reporter
00:17:44.660 and Alberta Bureau
00:17:45.200 chief who joins me
00:17:45.820 now via Skype
00:17:46.340 Sheila great to see you
00:17:47.160 you're free
00:17:47.720 and Rachel Notley
00:17:48.740 is lost
00:17:49.280 the world is as
00:17:50.160 it should be
00:17:50.840 yeah you know
00:17:52.580 she's not handling
00:17:54.700 her loss very well
00:17:55.840 is she
00:17:56.220 she sure seems
00:17:57.240 bitter and
00:17:58.160 authoritarian
00:17:59.260 and she's not used
00:18:00.420 to not having power
00:18:01.420 yeah which is funny
00:18:02.840 because she was
00:18:03.360 powerless for so much
00:18:04.220 of her life
00:18:04.580 I mean she was
00:18:05.080 the leader of
00:18:05.600 a fringe party
00:18:06.420 that accidentally
00:18:07.700 in this perfect storm
00:18:08.760 was given all the power
00:18:10.200 for four years
00:18:11.140 and boy did they
00:18:11.860 brutally use it
00:18:12.680 you know I covered
00:18:13.900 a lot of ground
00:18:14.420 in my monologue
00:18:14.980 but one thing
00:18:15.500 I did not talk about
00:18:16.520 was how for example
00:18:17.940 David Egan
00:18:18.600 brutally suppressed
00:18:20.380 the freedom of speech
00:18:21.620 of Christians
00:18:22.640 by shutting down
00:18:24.020 Christian schools
00:18:24.680 he literally shut down
00:18:25.780 some schools
00:18:26.340 by the way
00:18:27.140 I'm not just talking
00:18:27.800 about his kooky
00:18:28.460 extremist
00:18:29.600 curriculum revisions
00:18:30.620 Christian schools
00:18:32.300 home schools
00:18:32.900 he basically went to war
00:18:33.940 against people
00:18:34.420 with a different opinion
00:18:35.180 they always tried
00:18:36.860 to finesse it though
00:18:37.620 they never really showed
00:18:38.720 their true hatred
00:18:40.120 for opponents
00:18:41.360 that's what's new
00:18:42.660 in the last month
00:18:43.460 the way they're talking
00:18:45.000 now is a lot more honest
00:18:47.320 in that way
00:18:47.980 I suppose it's a
00:18:48.980 it's an improvement
00:18:49.960 they're no longer
00:18:51.020 even pretending
00:18:51.940 these people just hate
00:18:54.140 those who disagree
00:18:55.500 with them
00:18:55.980 yeah you know
00:18:57.600 you raise a really
00:18:58.260 great point
00:18:58.700 when you talk about
00:18:59.400 the former education
00:19:01.080 minister David Egan
00:19:02.400 I would
00:19:04.360 I would call it
00:19:05.380 hatred
00:19:05.740 of Christian education
00:19:07.740 we know that
00:19:09.680 you know
00:19:10.460 I might be a little bit
00:19:12.580 fuzzy on my numbers
00:19:13.720 but I believe it was
00:19:14.600 one third
00:19:15.580 of all the
00:19:16.560 homeschooled children
00:19:17.800 in Alberta
00:19:19.140 were out of school
00:19:20.420 in one afternoon
00:19:22.820 through an act
00:19:23.840 of David Egan
00:19:24.780 and that was a
00:19:25.460 Christian homeschool
00:19:26.940 association called
00:19:27.840 Wisdom Homeschooling
00:19:29.040 he just shut them down
00:19:29.960 just like that
00:19:31.080 they fought
00:19:31.760 back
00:19:32.480 and they
00:19:33.020 you know
00:19:33.440 eventually they did
00:19:34.280 get their schooling
00:19:35.080 back
00:19:35.480 but we've seen
00:19:37.100 attacks on
00:19:38.580 Christian
00:19:39.940 education
00:19:41.620 just outside
00:19:42.700 Edmonton
00:19:44.600 Alberta
00:19:45.480 education
00:19:46.920 was basically
00:19:48.680 silent
00:19:49.260 when the local
00:19:49.860 school board
00:19:50.460 was demanding
00:19:51.120 that a Christian
00:19:51.820 school
00:19:52.280 censor
00:19:53.480 parts of the
00:19:54.380 Christian Bible
00:19:55.400 David Egan
00:19:56.980 especially in
00:19:58.540 education
00:19:59.180 has been trying
00:20:00.240 to create
00:20:00.920 these
00:20:01.400 perfect little
00:20:02.740 NDP soldiers
00:20:03.900 out of our
00:20:04.540 children
00:20:04.880 through this
00:20:05.360 constant censorship
00:20:06.540 and blocking
00:20:08.120 children from
00:20:08.780 being exposed
00:20:09.340 to these other
00:20:10.080 ideas
00:20:10.600 I remember
00:20:11.400 that
00:20:11.600 we actually
00:20:12.080 did some
00:20:12.440 crowdfunding
00:20:12.900 I think
00:20:13.320 for one
00:20:14.420 of those
00:20:14.720 schools
00:20:15.220 I think
00:20:16.380 John Carpe
00:20:16.940 was representing
00:20:17.620 them as he
00:20:18.020 so often
00:20:18.480 does
00:20:18.800 the school
00:20:19.860 board
00:20:20.120 was literally
00:20:20.700 telling the
00:20:21.440 schools
00:20:21.860 which passages
00:20:23.140 of the Bible
00:20:23.880 they had to
00:20:24.460 delete
00:20:24.940 just unbelievable
00:20:26.580 I don't
00:20:27.940 think
00:20:28.220 I don't think
00:20:28.240 that they
00:20:28.480 would try
00:20:28.860 that with
00:20:29.260 a Muslim
00:20:29.740 school
00:20:30.100 telling them
00:20:30.560 which passages
00:20:31.560 of the
00:20:31.880 Koran
00:20:32.260 weren't allowed
00:20:32.760 but to me
00:20:34.120 the most
00:20:34.500 chilling
00:20:34.920 and revealing
00:20:35.980 tweet
00:20:36.640 was not
00:20:37.640 actually by
00:20:38.220 Rachel Notley
00:20:38.900 but by her
00:20:39.540 enforcer
00:20:40.020 Kathleen
00:20:40.460 Ganley
00:20:40.960 the no
00:20:42.200 repute
00:20:43.100 lawyer
00:20:43.580 like she
00:20:43.920 was really
00:20:44.340 the most
00:20:44.900 unaccomplished
00:20:45.700 woman in
00:20:46.480 cabinet
00:20:46.840 except for
00:20:47.880 she had a
00:20:49.200 law degree
00:20:49.680 so well
00:20:50.360 better put her
00:20:51.180 as justice
00:20:52.720 minister
00:20:53.180 Kathleen
00:20:53.500 Ganley
00:20:53.860 she again
00:20:57.000 I mean I'm
00:20:57.340 using that
00:20:57.700 phrase
00:20:57.940 let the
00:20:58.260 mask
00:20:58.560 lip
00:20:58.700 but that's
00:20:59.080 what it
00:20:59.340 was
00:20:59.660 the two
00:21:01.160 examples
00:21:02.260 that she
00:21:03.060 used for
00:21:03.720 people who
00:21:04.340 she's worried
00:21:05.480 will have
00:21:06.020 the right
00:21:06.540 to come
00:21:07.040 and speak
00:21:07.660 are not
00:21:08.820 Nazi groups
00:21:09.880 or violent
00:21:10.620 groups
00:21:11.080 or ISIS
00:21:11.840 recruiters
00:21:12.720 or anything
00:21:13.660 where I think
00:21:14.740 a lot of
00:21:15.000 people would
00:21:15.280 say
00:21:15.400 oh yeah
00:21:15.940 should they
00:21:16.340 be allowed
00:21:16.700 on campus
00:21:17.120 she lists
00:21:19.380 an extremely
00:21:20.480 popular
00:21:21.080 American
00:21:21.640 conservative
00:21:22.360 pundit
00:21:23.400 an author
00:21:24.040 I mean
00:21:24.300 what
00:21:24.500 7, 8, 9, 10
00:21:25.600 best selling
00:21:26.080 books
00:21:26.320 Ann Coulter
00:21:27.460 and I just
00:21:29.200 mentioned
00:21:29.500 John Carpe
00:21:30.060 those are the
00:21:30.900 two people
00:21:31.380 that Ganley
00:21:31.780 mentioned
00:21:32.160 by name
00:21:32.920 that she
00:21:33.820 doesn't want
00:21:34.360 to see
00:21:34.700 have a
00:21:35.080 platform
00:21:35.460 on campus
00:21:36.080 a public
00:21:37.240 popular
00:21:38.260 fairly
00:21:39.420 mainstream
00:21:39.900 conservative
00:21:40.720 columnist
00:21:41.900 and author
00:21:42.360 and then
00:21:43.440 a civil
00:21:44.000 liberties
00:21:44.460 lawyer
00:21:44.860 who
00:21:45.840 runs a
00:21:47.580 charity
00:21:48.100 for free
00:21:49.320 speech
00:21:49.640 and other
00:21:49.920 civil liberties
00:21:50.540 imagine
00:21:51.220 actually
00:21:52.540 saying
00:21:53.280 that's
00:21:54.460 who
00:21:54.600 your
00:21:54.800 censorship
00:21:55.180 law
00:21:55.540 is
00:21:55.660 targeting
00:21:56.000 like
00:21:56.200 they're
00:21:56.440 not
00:21:56.700 even
00:21:56.940 pretending
00:21:57.520 it's
00:21:58.240 about
00:21:58.480 racists
00:21:59.300 and even
00:21:59.760 if it
00:22:00.020 is a
00:22:00.320 racist
00:22:00.540 I'm not
00:22:01.080 sure
00:22:01.220 what the
00:22:01.440 definition
00:22:01.860 of that
00:22:02.800 is
00:22:03.180 but they're
00:22:03.900 not even
00:22:04.200 they're going
00:22:04.860 after Ann Coulter
00:22:05.680 and John Carpe
00:22:06.400 and they don't
00:22:07.420 care who
00:22:07.740 knows now
00:22:08.420 yeah I mean
00:22:10.580 with regard to
00:22:11.760 Kathleen
00:22:12.200 Gainley being
00:22:13.100 a lawyer
00:22:13.820 I mean
00:22:14.180 you're a
00:22:15.180 lawyer
00:22:15.400 you got a
00:22:16.240 law degree
00:22:16.580 they're giving
00:22:16.960 those things
00:22:17.380 out to
00:22:17.680 anybody
00:22:18.140 but you
00:22:22.320 know
00:22:22.500 the point
00:22:24.600 of free
00:22:25.680 speech
00:22:26.100 and I
00:22:26.460 don't think
00:22:26.700 I have to
00:22:27.060 tell this
00:22:27.420 to you
00:22:27.960 is not
00:22:29.880 only to
00:22:30.920 just express
00:22:31.680 yourself
00:22:32.140 but to
00:22:32.820 argue against
00:22:33.580 ideas
00:22:34.100 and it
00:22:35.240 really speaks
00:22:35.840 to the
00:22:36.160 quality of
00:22:36.740 the NDP
00:22:37.360 ideas
00:22:38.140 if they
00:22:39.440 can't have
00:22:40.160 John Carpe
00:22:40.900 show up
00:22:41.440 because they
00:22:42.160 don't have
00:22:43.040 the intellectual
00:22:44.160 depth to
00:22:45.000 challenge him
00:22:45.660 on things
00:22:46.140 it's the
00:22:46.720 same as
00:22:47.120 when in
00:22:47.980 the United
00:22:48.460 States
00:22:48.900 universities
00:22:49.720 freak out
00:22:50.900 and de-platform
00:22:51.820 people like
00:22:52.540 Ben Shapiro
00:22:53.500 he's an
00:22:54.080 accomplished
00:22:54.520 debater
00:22:55.220 you're really
00:22:56.480 taking your
00:22:56.940 life in your
00:22:57.540 hands if you
00:22:58.200 show up
00:22:58.720 to challenge
00:22:59.560 Ben Shapiro
00:23:00.540 so instead
00:23:01.220 of experiencing
00:23:02.600 the constant
00:23:03.300 embarrassment
00:23:03.940 of the left
00:23:04.720 taking a run
00:23:05.460 up on Ben
00:23:06.020 Shapiro
00:23:06.300 they just
00:23:06.680 completely
00:23:07.200 de-platform
00:23:08.640 him
00:23:08.920 there's also
00:23:09.700 something else
00:23:10.780 I think is
00:23:11.360 pretty sinister
00:23:12.040 in all of this
00:23:12.800 Kathleen Gainley
00:23:14.400 David Egan
00:23:16.360 Rachel Notley
00:23:17.580 herself says
00:23:18.400 that this
00:23:18.740 is giving
00:23:19.100 a platform
00:23:19.760 to hate
00:23:20.640 longers
00:23:21.280 they routinely
00:23:22.400 throw around
00:23:23.340 words like
00:23:24.920 Nazi
00:23:25.620 homophobic
00:23:26.820 racist
00:23:27.740 Islamophobic
00:23:28.960 even anti-Semite
00:23:30.540 to people
00:23:31.060 like me
00:23:31.520 that's insane
00:23:32.600 but then
00:23:33.340 they de-platform
00:23:34.500 you
00:23:34.960 and then
00:23:35.800 they take
00:23:36.500 away
00:23:36.880 your free
00:23:37.640 speech
00:23:38.000 as in
00:23:38.460 your ability
00:23:39.220 to rebut
00:23:40.000 these dangerous
00:23:40.780 allegations
00:23:41.360 about you
00:23:41.980 so that's
00:23:42.720 just
00:23:42.980 that's
00:23:43.920 the only
00:23:44.680 narrative
00:23:45.180 that's
00:23:45.600 out there
00:23:45.840 that's
00:23:46.240 what's
00:23:46.520 hanging
00:23:46.780 out there
00:23:47.420 about people
00:23:48.340 like me
00:23:48.940 sometimes
00:23:49.480 and really
00:23:50.180 any mainstream
00:23:51.300 conservative
00:23:52.000 they don't
00:23:52.980 allow you
00:23:53.640 the opportunity
00:23:54.420 to at least
00:23:55.800 try to rebut
00:23:56.680 the damage
00:23:57.520 they've done
00:23:58.180 to your reputation
00:23:59.060 by allowing you
00:23:59.880 free speech
00:24:00.500 that's a great
00:24:01.160 point
00:24:01.440 it's something
00:24:02.000 that Tommy
00:24:02.500 Robinson
00:24:03.320 says to me
00:24:04.000 he used to
00:24:04.680 have more
00:24:05.100 than a million
00:24:05.760 followers
00:24:06.460 on social media
00:24:07.320 actually had a
00:24:07.760 million on
00:24:08.120 Facebook
00:24:08.460 almost a million
00:24:09.440 on Twitter
00:24:09.900 so if someone
00:24:10.740 were to lie
00:24:11.260 about him
00:24:11.780 he could
00:24:12.560 choose to
00:24:13.660 rebut them
00:24:14.060 if he wanted
00:24:14.600 to
00:24:14.920 and at least
00:24:15.700 his side
00:24:16.060 of the story
00:24:16.420 would be heard
00:24:17.000 but he's been
00:24:17.860 banned from
00:24:18.500 everywhere
00:24:18.920 so how does
00:24:20.320 he even
00:24:20.660 fight back
00:24:21.300 and since
00:24:22.160 he has no one
00:24:22.780 willing to
00:24:23.140 champion him
00:24:23.760 and that's
00:24:24.560 absolutely
00:24:25.100 what they would
00:24:25.760 do to you
00:24:26.580 and me
00:24:26.840 in fact
00:24:27.040 they are
00:24:27.560 trying to
00:24:27.960 do it
00:24:28.280 to you
00:24:28.900 obviously
00:24:29.320 we're talking
00:24:30.080 to you
00:24:30.260 because you're
00:24:30.700 Alberta
00:24:31.080 bureau chief
00:24:31.680 but because
00:24:32.160 you yourself
00:24:32.740 have been
00:24:33.680 the most
00:24:34.580 acute
00:24:35.180 victim
00:24:35.800 of their
00:24:36.540 attempts
00:24:37.000 to censor
00:24:37.760 going way
00:24:39.200 back to
00:24:39.600 when they
00:24:40.080 sent the
00:24:40.620 sheriff
00:24:40.980 to kick
00:24:41.420 you out
00:24:41.680 of the
00:24:41.880 legislature
00:24:42.340 I'm
00:24:43.000 embarrassed
00:24:43.300 that the
00:24:43.560 sheriff
00:24:43.760 did it
00:24:44.200 by the
00:24:45.440 way
00:24:45.700 I mean
00:24:46.500 just like
00:24:47.240 I'm
00:24:47.440 embarrassed
00:24:47.840 that that
00:24:48.220 staff
00:24:48.680 lawyer
00:24:49.000 at the
00:24:49.240 Department
00:24:49.520 of Justice
00:24:49.940 actually
00:24:50.480 signed a
00:24:50.980 letter
00:24:51.140 on Alberta
00:24:51.640 stationery
00:24:52.220 saying
00:24:52.580 no one
00:24:54.180 with the
00:24:54.400 rebel
00:24:54.840 or even
00:24:55.240 connected
00:24:55.700 to them
00:24:56.160 is allowed
00:24:57.020 I mean
00:24:57.540 surely
00:24:58.460 you don't
00:24:59.380 just follow
00:25:00.060 orders
00:25:00.580 if you
00:25:01.440 know it's
00:25:01.920 against
00:25:02.400 the law
00:25:03.720 which
00:25:04.220 Alberta
00:25:04.700 Justice
00:25:05.060 should have
00:25:05.420 known
00:25:05.640 or you're
00:25:06.160 an armed
00:25:06.620 sheriff
00:25:07.180 surely
00:25:07.920 you don't
00:25:08.340 let yourself
00:25:09.020 be ordered
00:25:09.620 around as a
00:25:10.420 political
00:25:10.860 paramilitary
00:25:11.760 surely you
00:25:12.760 just say
00:25:13.300 all right
00:25:14.800 premier
00:25:15.120 I'll handle
00:25:15.800 it
00:25:16.020 and maybe
00:25:16.780 he comes
00:25:17.200 over and
00:25:17.500 say hey
00:25:17.820 just behave
00:25:18.580 yourself
00:25:18.920 okay
00:25:19.260 or something
00:25:20.120 like that
00:25:20.740 but imagine
00:25:21.460 being a sheriff
00:25:22.260 and actually
00:25:22.840 kicking you
00:25:23.340 out with a
00:25:23.800 gun
00:25:24.000 imagine being
00:25:25.140 a Department
00:25:25.540 of Justice
00:25:25.920 lawyer
00:25:26.140 and actually
00:25:26.460 going through
00:25:26.840 with it
00:25:27.080 that shows
00:25:28.020 how precarious
00:25:29.040 our freedom
00:25:29.520 is here
00:25:29.920 I don't think
00:25:30.740 we have a
00:25:31.180 culture of
00:25:31.780 freedom
00:25:32.060 that fully
00:25:33.180 marinates
00:25:34.280 through our
00:25:35.340 civil society
00:25:36.200 I think
00:25:36.940 what we have
00:25:37.920 seen is how
00:25:38.500 close we
00:25:39.220 came to
00:25:39.900 tyranny
00:25:40.240 under Rachel
00:25:40.820 Notley
00:25:41.180 and I put
00:25:42.120 it to you
00:25:42.600 that Justin
00:25:43.460 Trudeau has
00:25:44.080 all the same
00:25:44.560 instincts but
00:25:45.200 he's smarter
00:25:45.780 about it
00:25:46.200 or at least
00:25:46.480 his handlers
00:25:47.700 are
00:25:47.900 I think
00:25:48.300 Justin Trudeau
00:25:48.920 is getting
00:25:49.240 far more
00:25:49.880 censorious
00:25:50.760 and far more
00:25:51.340 clever about it
00:25:52.100 than Notley
00:25:52.800 ever was
00:25:53.440 yeah I mean
00:25:55.220 Notley
00:25:55.680 although I do
00:25:58.320 think Justin
00:25:58.920 Trudeau he has
00:25:59.480 a lot more
00:25:59.920 power to do
00:26:01.100 the things that
00:26:01.680 Rachel Notley
00:26:02.260 would probably
00:26:02.860 love to do
00:26:04.060 he has the
00:26:05.580 ability to lean
00:26:06.500 on Facebook
00:26:07.340 and Google
00:26:08.020 and Twitter
00:26:08.840 to censor
00:26:09.560 his political
00:26:10.120 enemies
00:26:10.560 Rachel Notley
00:26:11.400 is just the
00:26:12.060 premier of
00:26:12.560 Alberta
00:26:12.800 she really
00:26:13.200 didn't have
00:26:13.520 the power
00:26:13.920 to do
00:26:14.240 those things
00:26:14.660 but boy
00:26:15.040 I bet
00:26:15.280 she would
00:26:15.660 have loved
00:26:16.140 to
00:26:16.440 and she
00:26:17.060 you know
00:26:17.360 she did
00:26:18.180 her things
00:26:18.720 to censor
00:26:19.540 political speech
00:26:21.560 particularly with
00:26:22.900 me but it
00:26:23.740 started smaller
00:26:25.160 she started
00:26:26.180 trying to crack
00:26:27.200 down on our
00:26:28.080 billboards
00:26:28.940 which is
00:26:30.600 really just
00:26:31.840 an editorial
00:26:32.620 opinion
00:26:33.260 no different
00:26:34.380 than what
00:26:35.120 happens in
00:26:35.780 the editorial
00:26:36.360 pages of
00:26:37.020 the Edmonton
00:26:38.280 Sun or the
00:26:38.800 Calgary Herald
00:26:39.460 we just
00:26:40.160 express it
00:26:40.760 in a
00:26:41.060 cheekier
00:26:41.640 way
00:26:42.080 Rachel Notley
00:26:43.300 create
00:26:44.180 you know
00:26:44.740 it's interesting
00:26:45.180 that you
00:26:45.620 brought up
00:26:46.220 the civil
00:26:46.700 servants
00:26:47.440 that are
00:26:48.320 so apathetic
00:26:51.000 to freedom
00:26:51.800 Rachel Notley
00:26:52.720 created an
00:26:53.500 entire bureaucracy
00:26:54.820 weaponized against
00:26:56.160 conservatives
00:26:56.720 a censorship
00:26:57.860 bureaucracy
00:26:58.780 called the
00:26:59.920 elections
00:27:00.580 commissioner
00:27:01.640 their sole
00:27:02.840 job is to
00:27:03.820 investigate
00:27:04.460 political speech
00:27:05.640 including books
00:27:06.460 and billboards
00:27:07.180 and target
00:27:07.700 people like
00:27:08.320 me
00:27:08.560 and it
00:27:09.320 is staff
00:27:10.280 with what
00:27:11.240 I'm told
00:27:11.780 at least
00:27:12.620 nine
00:27:13.340 investigators
00:27:14.180 much of
00:27:15.280 them
00:27:15.580 former law
00:27:16.760 enforcement
00:27:17.380 RCMP
00:27:18.280 city police
00:27:19.720 so people
00:27:20.220 who are
00:27:20.560 well versed
00:27:21.880 in the
00:27:22.240 charter of
00:27:22.700 rights and
00:27:23.180 freedoms
00:27:23.560 whose job
00:27:24.380 it is to
00:27:24.820 defend the
00:27:25.480 charter of
00:27:25.880 rights and
00:27:26.180 freedoms
00:27:26.440 but they
00:27:26.940 have no
00:27:27.340 job right
00:27:27.840 now taking
00:27:28.280 a paycheck
00:27:28.720 to stomp
00:27:29.260 all over
00:27:29.660 mine
00:27:29.960 yeah
00:27:30.420 well Sheila
00:27:31.340 just this
00:27:31.840 morning I
00:27:32.240 sent you an
00:27:32.660 email I
00:27:32.940 don't know if
00:27:33.200 you got it
00:27:33.580 yet of our
00:27:34.520 latest bill
00:27:35.200 from our
00:27:35.800 law firm
00:27:36.280 and it
00:27:37.060 is $32,000
00:27:39.040 I sent that
00:27:40.060 to you I
00:27:40.320 just I was
00:27:41.560 just trying to
00:27:42.000 show you I
00:27:43.640 mean obviously
00:27:43.940 we're paying
00:27:44.280 it we're
00:27:45.380 crowdfunding the
00:27:46.000 money we need
00:27:47.500 the best legal
00:27:48.160 help we can
00:27:48.620 find and we
00:27:49.020 will win we
00:27:50.060 absolutely will
00:27:50.960 win these
00:27:51.380 these invested
00:27:52.260 in a free
00:27:53.240 country like
00:27:53.760 Canada the
00:27:55.040 the police do
00:27:55.960 not have the
00:27:56.440 right to say
00:27:57.240 to an author
00:27:57.740 give us your
00:27:58.640 editorial notes
00:27:59.400 and your
00:27:59.640 emails I'm
00:28:00.100 sorry that's
00:28:00.540 just that's
00:28:01.380 just not how
00:28:01.880 it works
00:28:02.380 for the for
00:28:04.000 the sin of
00:28:04.820 criticizing Rachel
00:28:05.800 Nolley it's
00:28:06.540 not how it
00:28:06.920 works but we
00:28:08.460 have to fight
00:28:08.900 them tough and
00:28:09.540 smart and so
00:28:10.900 that brings the
00:28:11.720 total amount of
00:28:12.620 money we have
00:28:13.120 spent fighting
00:28:14.420 the election
00:28:14.900 commissioner to
00:28:16.140 almost exactly
00:28:17.280 $64,000 and I
00:28:20.760 think that's the
00:28:21.420 point is they
00:28:22.520 want to make the
00:28:23.140 process the
00:28:24.300 punishment either
00:28:25.240 they think that
00:28:26.240 we'll just collapse
00:28:27.220 bend the knees
00:28:27.800 surrender maybe
00:28:29.460 they think we'll
00:28:29.900 do that I
00:28:30.300 think that's
00:28:30.660 contrary to
00:28:31.360 everything we've
00:28:31.920 ever done
00:28:32.360 in my life
00:28:33.660 in your life
00:28:34.200 but I
00:28:36.240 think they
00:28:37.820 know that we'll
00:28:38.440 fight and they
00:28:38.880 just want to
00:28:39.360 ring $64,000 you
00:28:41.300 could hire you
00:28:42.720 could hire a new
00:28:43.520 staff and
00:28:45.160 expenses for a
00:28:46.120 whole journalist
00:28:46.600 for a whole
00:28:47.020 year but instead
00:28:48.540 we've got to pay
00:28:49.240 lawyers to fight
00:28:50.000 back but we will
00:28:51.280 Sheila I promise
00:28:51.980 you that
00:28:52.420 yeah I mean
00:28:54.840 they're making
00:28:55.920 like you said
00:28:56.620 the process the
00:28:57.520 punishment so that
00:28:58.480 even if we win
00:29:00.000 we'll still be
00:29:01.100 out I bet over
00:29:03.620 $100,000 we'll
00:29:05.840 be levied fines
00:29:07.440 for not producing
00:29:08.400 those documents
00:29:09.120 because I'm not
00:29:09.960 producing a damn
00:29:10.780 thing for these
00:29:11.380 people and and
00:29:13.260 they'll anticipate
00:29:14.040 that we'll pay
00:29:14.940 them the idea is
00:29:16.580 really to just to
00:29:17.820 use a hockey term
00:29:18.580 rag the puck until
00:29:19.860 we run out of money
00:29:20.800 because we're not
00:29:21.560 the CBC we don't
00:29:23.060 have deep pockets
00:29:24.520 we don't have
00:29:25.260 government money
00:29:26.100 but they I
00:29:27.600 think the Alberta
00:29:28.360 government really
00:29:29.260 underestimated our
00:29:31.380 supporters like
00:29:33.040 always they
00:29:34.160 continue to
00:29:34.860 underestimate
00:29:35.580 everyday Albertans
00:29:37.500 and their
00:29:38.040 resentment of the
00:29:39.520 NDP's continued
00:29:40.680 attacks on Alberta
00:29:41.700 freedom yeah
00:29:42.620 you know I've had a
00:29:43.940 few people write to
00:29:44.580 me and saying
00:29:44.920 answer those are
00:29:45.460 very large legal
00:29:46.320 bills what's going
00:29:47.820 on there I should
00:29:49.160 tell you that we
00:29:50.380 have two lawyers
00:29:51.800 and a legal
00:29:52.640 assistant at at a
00:29:54.540 excellent firm
00:29:55.880 called Reynolds
00:29:56.380 Mirth Fred
00:29:57.540 Kozak QC is the
00:29:59.580 premier media lawyer
00:30:00.600 in Alberta and he
00:30:01.940 has another lawyer
00:30:03.840 Michael Swanberg
00:30:04.820 working with them
00:30:05.920 and they have an
00:30:06.860 assistant of course
00:30:07.780 I believe that they
00:30:10.200 are billing us very
00:30:11.120 fairly very reasonably
00:30:12.360 the reason the bills
00:30:14.020 are high and I'm
00:30:14.500 just telling this
00:30:14.960 because we have
00:30:15.460 people saying
00:30:15.820 how come the bills
00:30:16.520 are so high because
00:30:18.200 most of the work
00:30:19.720 we're doing we have
00:30:20.740 not even disclosed
00:30:21.800 publicly there are
00:30:23.540 investigations and
00:30:24.780 prosecutions and
00:30:26.600 things afoot that
00:30:27.940 just for strategic
00:30:29.580 or other reasons
00:30:31.100 I mean as you know
00:30:32.480 Sheila this complaint
00:30:34.880 this demand for your
00:30:36.080 private author's papers
00:30:37.500 came to us in April
00:30:39.000 and we only told the
00:30:40.360 world about it a couple
00:30:41.580 of weeks ago so it
00:30:43.400 will all people will
00:30:44.240 see in due time why
00:30:46.360 our bills are so high
00:30:47.440 so I just want to let
00:30:48.160 people know we're not
00:30:48.940 being taken for a ride
00:30:50.020 that's how much legal
00:30:51.820 work there is we've
00:30:53.040 got a constitutional
00:30:53.940 challenge to the law
00:30:55.640 we're dealing with
00:30:56.820 three or four or five
00:30:58.840 parallel investigations
00:31:00.480 we're dealing with
00:31:01.820 rogue cops who are
00:31:04.380 who are doing with so
00:31:05.780 many things but I
00:31:07.600 promise our viewers we
00:31:08.940 will see it through to
00:31:10.100 the end and I saw you
00:31:12.360 in Alberta a couple
00:31:13.500 days ago and I made
00:31:14.700 you that promise
00:31:15.220 personally that we
00:31:16.260 will do whatever it
00:31:17.080 takes to fight and
00:31:18.240 win and we met up with
00:31:19.320 a farmer for justice
00:31:20.240 that's one of those
00:31:20.940 wheat farmers a couple
00:31:24.300 decades ago who
00:31:25.360 actually went to
00:31:26.340 prison for the fake
00:31:28.100 crime of selling their
00:31:29.220 wheat freely the
00:31:30.540 liberal party of Canada
00:31:31.940 put them in prison for
00:31:33.640 that we met someone who
00:31:35.460 actually went to prison
00:31:36.540 for that and I know he
00:31:38.160 gave you a pep talk I'll
00:31:40.060 do everything I can to
00:31:41.460 make sure it doesn't
00:31:42.100 come to that but we
00:31:43.660 will not allow freedom
00:31:45.060 to go out on our watch
00:31:46.180 that's my promise to you
00:31:47.180 and to our viewers
00:31:48.080 yeah I mean with
00:31:51.380 regard to our legal
00:31:52.420 bills we're we're up
00:31:53.900 against the government's
00:31:56.040 lawyers they have an
00:31:57.080 entire justice department
00:31:58.900 who will eventually have
00:32:01.480 to weigh in against us
00:32:02.960 we're up against an
00:32:04.040 entire bureaucracy and
00:32:05.160 as you pointed out we
00:32:06.280 have two really good
00:32:07.060 lawyers and a legal
00:32:07.920 assistant and yeah
00:32:09.140 fighting against the
00:32:10.500 government adds up it's
00:32:11.920 not a cheap venture but
00:32:14.260 it is also priceless it's
00:32:17.820 priceless to be able to
00:32:20.660 fight for freedom and
00:32:21.820 quite frankly I'm sort of
00:32:23.900 pleased that the Alberta
00:32:25.220 government came for me
00:32:26.320 because I feel like I work
00:32:28.180 for a company and I have
00:32:29.400 the right kind of attitude
00:32:30.360 and the right kind of
00:32:31.240 family and the right kind
00:32:32.220 of support that I think
00:32:33.880 that we are the perfect
00:32:35.720 people for this fight to
00:32:37.720 put an end to these
00:32:38.920 continued attacks on the
00:32:40.500 free press in Alberta
00:32:41.580 you know it's funny you
00:32:42.860 just made me think of
00:32:43.940 something that I haven't
00:32:45.000 thought of for more than
00:32:46.160 a dozen years because I
00:32:48.000 remember when I published
00:32:48.660 the Danish cartoons of
00:32:49.640 Mohammed at the Western
00:32:50.800 Standard in 2006 and I
00:32:54.360 was prosecuted by the
00:32:55.400 Human Rights Commission
00:32:56.020 and I remember saying and
00:32:57.640 that's 13 years ago now
00:32:58.780 Sheila I remember saying
00:32:59.840 and it was so strange for
00:33:01.520 people to hear it I said
00:33:02.500 thank God they came for me
00:33:05.360 now why would any sane
00:33:07.060 person say that and I
00:33:09.100 remember what I said at the
00:33:09.880 time I said because had
00:33:12.160 they gone to another
00:33:12.960 newspaper they would have
00:33:13.820 caved had they gone to
00:33:14.740 another journalist they
00:33:15.600 would have caved and I
00:33:17.300 felt like in that moment
00:33:18.800 at that time I had the
00:33:20.140 combination of personal
00:33:21.760 qualities and support and
00:33:23.960 an attitude and allies that
00:33:26.540 I thought I mean maybe
00:33:29.600 there could have been
00:33:30.060 someone else to fight that
00:33:31.040 fight and Mark Stein fought
00:33:32.240 that fight very well and he
00:33:33.380 was very lucky too but I
00:33:35.180 felt like it was actually I
00:33:37.240 don't want to sound too
00:33:38.040 dramatic but it was almost
00:33:39.060 like it was my moment it
00:33:40.440 was meant for me or it was
00:33:42.060 even my calling that I had
00:33:43.580 to do it once in a while
00:33:44.940 maybe once every 10 years
00:33:46.080 something comes along and I
00:33:47.520 think I absolutely have to
00:33:49.780 do this this is my I felt
00:33:51.020 that way when Tommy
00:33:51.680 Robinson was thrown in
00:33:52.600 prison he wasn't working
00:33:53.860 for us anymore he left our
00:33:55.620 company I had no real ties
00:33:57.420 with him but I saw him get
00:33:58.780 put in the back of that
00:33:59.580 police van and I saw he
00:34:01.460 didn't have support around
00:34:02.340 him and I just felt in my
00:34:03.660 bones I thought oh my god
00:34:04.760 no one is going to help him
00:34:06.820 no one knows how to help him
00:34:07.980 this is absolutely a moment
00:34:09.880 meant for me I have to do
00:34:10.920 it and I'm so glad I did
00:34:11.880 that's how I felt a dozen
00:34:13.220 years ago when they came
00:34:14.100 for me the Danish cartoons
00:34:15.120 I thought I have to do
00:34:16.480 this and in a way I'm the
00:34:17.900 perfect person for it and I
00:34:19.060 don't even mind because of
00:34:20.220 it and I think maybe you're
00:34:22.100 what you just said is
00:34:23.340 exactly I think I know
00:34:24.640 exactly what you feel and
00:34:26.220 so let me say this to all
00:34:27.240 our viewers they're not
00:34:30.260 coming for you because
00:34:31.660 they're going for Sheila
00:34:32.840 Sheila is your flak jacket
00:34:35.280 she's your bulletproof vest
00:34:36.660 she's the first line of
00:34:38.720 defense she's got the
00:34:40.600 fighting spirit she's got
00:34:41.580 the attitude she's got the
00:34:42.540 family on side she's got us
00:34:44.120 on side she's got good
00:34:45.120 lawyers on side and we're
00:34:46.640 going to pay these bills
00:34:47.600 these legal bills so in a
00:34:49.580 way we're all lucky they
00:34:50.640 came for you Sheila and I
00:34:51.560 don't mean that in the wrong
00:34:52.940 way I'm not glad they're
00:34:53.820 coming to you but if they're
00:34:54.600 going to come for anybody
00:34:55.460 frankly going for Sheila
00:34:57.260 Gunn-Reed is the best thing
00:34:59.560 that could happen because
00:35:00.940 Sheila Gunn-Reed will fight
00:35:02.220 unlike 99% of the media
00:35:04.760 party journalists who've
00:35:06.320 been silent as mice don't
00:35:07.640 mind me Sheila you just
00:35:08.420 made me think about how I
00:35:09.940 felt with the cartoon fight
00:35:11.780 this is your version of the
00:35:13.740 cartoon fight and I hope
00:35:15.040 you don't go to prison but
00:35:16.120 actually in a in a in a
00:35:19.700 roundabout way and God
00:35:20.840 knows I don't want it to
00:35:22.460 happen may it never happen
00:35:23.600 but if it came to happen
00:35:25.480 that you were to go to jail
00:35:27.320 over this and may it never
00:35:28.480 happen and we're fighting to
00:35:29.700 make sure it doesn't happen
00:35:30.600 in a way that would be a
00:35:34.260 tremendous moment that I
00:35:37.620 believe would galvanize
00:35:39.000 Canadians for freedom I
00:35:40.480 don't want it to happen let
00:35:41.420 me say that a fourth time but
00:35:43.280 if it happened good things
00:35:45.620 ironically would come from
00:35:46.820 it yeah I think that's sort
00:35:50.520 of part of our Alberta DNA you
00:35:53.200 being an Alberta expat in the
00:35:55.220 center of the universe but you
00:35:57.820 know we did we did speak to
00:36:00.260 that farmer for justice
00:36:01.880 Albertans have a long long
00:36:04.400 history of civil disobedience
00:36:06.680 against bad laws unconstitutional
00:36:08.900 laws and unfair laws it's part
00:36:11.400 of who we are whether Rachel
00:36:14.220 Notley succeeded in undoing
00:36:16.880 that over the last four years
00:36:18.020 that remains to be seen but I
00:36:19.640 think that Albertans truly still
00:36:22.780 believe in freedom and they
00:36:25.340 believe in making sacrifices for
00:36:28.180 that freedom and they believe
00:36:29.140 behind getting people they
00:36:30.460 believe in getting behind
00:36:32.160 people who are willing to make
00:36:33.860 those sacrifices you know I was
00:36:35.860 speaking to some people at that
00:36:38.120 event that you and I were both
00:36:39.300 at the other day and they said
00:36:42.480 to me Sheila we we are with you
00:36:45.080 because when they're done with
00:36:47.300 you and if you lose then we are
00:36:50.220 next so you're the first ditch yeah
00:36:53.400 that's exactly right yeah well very
00:36:58.040 powerful very interesting I just
00:36:59.660 want to say we're talking about
00:37:00.760 Alberta because you're an
00:37:01.580 Albertan I'm an expat Albertan we
00:37:03.720 were in Alberta when we met that
00:37:04.900 farmer for justice but I know that
00:37:07.460 you have supporters from all across
00:37:09.800 Canada and I want and I've
00:37:12.140 discovered that in my several years
00:37:14.360 here in Toronto people there are
00:37:16.200 people here who care about freedom
00:37:17.500 and in some ways they're more on the
00:37:18.860 front lines because in for quite a
00:37:21.320 while they were behind enemy lines in
00:37:23.180 the battle of freedom when Rachel
00:37:24.800 when Kathleen Wynne was the premier
00:37:27.060 for example there was a there was a
00:37:29.560 real I mean to be a conservative to
00:37:32.880 be for freedom in Ontario in some
00:37:34.420 ways was more difficult than in
00:37:36.080 Alberta so I do want to acknowledge we
00:37:37.540 have supporters around Canada and
00:37:38.900 even around the world and even
00:37:40.240 around the world for folks who
00:37:42.680 haven't chipped in yet please do
00:37:44.260 please go to save Sheila dot com
00:37:47.480 we're not ready to tell you all the
00:37:52.220 things we're working on legally
00:37:53.420 because for strategic reasons we
00:37:55.020 want to time some of that but I
00:37:56.880 expect we will have news for you in
00:37:59.840 about a week's time that will not
00:38:02.120 only show you how we're fighting
00:38:03.540 back and why our lawyers are billing
00:38:05.120 us but will also show you the abusive
00:38:07.840 conduct of Rachel Notley's out of
00:38:10.280 control appointees and I know you're
00:38:11.760 thinking why are you talking about
00:38:12.500 Rachel Notley she's gone now well not
00:38:14.380 her not her staff who she appointed in
00:38:17.060 Jason Kenney has kept so I think we'll
00:38:19.920 have news for you about a week on
00:38:21.380 that all right Sheila it's great to
00:38:22.640 talk with you I saw you in person the
00:38:24.360 other day and I gave you my personal
00:38:26.140 pledge that we would stand by you
00:38:27.640 until the end and we will and I do so
00:38:30.340 again and I just know so many of our
00:38:32.320 viewers believe the same thing so thank
00:38:34.260 you for being one in a million thank
00:38:37.440 you for fighting like so few would and we
00:38:40.480 all rely on you and thank you for that

00:39:15.700 Gunn-Reed fighting for freedom every
00:39:17.180 day she lives it she lives it stay with
00:39:19.900 us more ahead on the rebel
00:39:20.940 hey welcome back on my monologue
00:39:33.020 yesterday about Prince Harry promising
00:39:35.240 only to have two kids because of global
00:39:37.020 warming Keith writes the way the UK is
00:39:39.220 going the current Queen could very well
00:39:41.000 be the last one well I hope that's not
00:39:43.860 true I I love the tradition the history
00:39:46.060 I love the fact that they are keepers of
00:39:48.560 the Constitution I know there's something
00:39:52.100 reassuring about it there's something
00:39:54.660 limiting about it there's something that
00:39:56.860 tamps down the madness of elected
00:39:59.400 politics about it I hope not I but what do
00:40:06.220 you know I mean we've been extremely lucky
00:40:07.600 with Queen Elizabeth would you agree John
00:40:10.040 writes it is probably a good thing they
00:40:12.200 only want two children with parents like
00:40:13.680 that you would not want to place too many
00:40:15.600 impressionable young children in that
00:40:16.980 environment yeah I mean it's just sad
00:40:19.280 though I mean I see all these lefty deep
00:40:22.220 think articles in in junk websites about
00:40:25.680 birth strike why I'm not going to have
00:40:27.780 babies because of the globe and and my
00:40:31.160 reflex is good I glad you are taking
00:40:33.700 yourself out of the gene pool but I don't
00:40:35.600 really mean that actually because although
00:40:38.880 you know they're they're only condemning
00:40:42.100 themselves they're actually condemning
00:40:43.500 their own future because of a foolish fad and
00:40:48.140 I am absolutely certain that 5 10 20 years
00:40:51.360 from now when they're alone in their house
00:40:54.120 in Brooklyn eating an avocado toast with
00:40:58.200 their cats that they will be very sad about
00:41:00.960 it I'm absolutely certain of it those
00:41:04.440 things sound more like a child's tantrum
00:41:06.660 than a thoughtful think on my interview
00:41:09.500 with Count Dankula Paul writes humor is
00:41:12.280 dead on the left they want to kill it
00:41:13.400 everywhere when your goal is to destroy
00:41:14.640 freedom I guess humor won't be your thing
00:41:16.740 well who was it who said that every joke
00:41:18.540 is a little revolution I think that was I
00:41:20.380 think that was Orwell or you could look at
00:41:22.020 it on the other side I think it was
00:41:23.680 Ayatollah Khomeini who said there there is
00:41:25.920 no joking in Islam well of course not
00:41:27.920 Solzhenitsyn I think I've told you this
00:41:31.020 before you know he was sent to the gulag
00:41:32.920 because in a private letter he he wrote a
00:41:35.760 little joke it wasn't even that big or
00:41:37.340 that funny he called Stalin the whiskered
00:41:40.400 one like that's not even really a joke
00:41:42.620 that's like a nickname the whiskered one
00:41:44.900 because he had a bushy mustache sent to the
00:41:47.200 gulag for that yeah yeah welcome to
00:41:50.540 authoritarianism you're not allowed to make
00:41:52.200 fun of certain things you know listen I'm
00:41:56.580 sensitive to anti-semitic or holocaust jokes
00:41:58.980 of course I am but I agree first of all I
00:42:02.860 know Count Denkula enough from our various
00:42:04.460 conversations to know he's absolutely not
00:42:06.380 anti-semitic or a Nazi it's absurd I also
00:42:09.820 know even though I've never met his dog
00:42:11.460 that his dog is not a Nazi either because
00:42:13.340 I'm aware of the fact that dogs cannot be
00:42:16.060 Nazis just like they can't be vegans
00:42:18.860 vegans or transgender that's probably a
00:42:21.800 projection of their owners I also know
00:42:24.540 that it's possible to make jokes about dark
00:42:26.180 things anyone who's heard of the show
00:42:28.060 called Hogan's Heroes knows that there was
00:42:30.600 a whole comedy set inside a German POW camp
00:42:35.000 in Nazi Germany you can make jokes about it
00:42:38.140 you can folks all right that's our show for
00:42:41.260 today until next time on behalf of all of us
00:42:43.660 here at Rebel World Headquarters to you at
00:42:45.120 home good night and keep fighting for
00:42:46.760 freedom
