Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. I go through not only the interesting revelations about weed charity,
00:00:07.180 but how we thought they would handle the crisis by preemptively leaking the worst details to the
00:00:13.460 CBC so they could break the news rather than more aggressive independent reporters. I think that
00:00:19.020 tells you a lot about the CBC and the whole collusion of the political class, doesn't it?
00:00:24.060 I'll get into that. Plus an interview with our friend Spencer Fernando. That's ahead.
00:00:28.360 Let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. It's only eight bucks a month or 80
00:00:32.980 bucks for the whole year. You get the video version of the podcast, plus Sheila Gunn-Reed's show and
00:00:37.940 David Menzies' show too. Okay, here's today's podcast.
00:00:45.260 You're listening to a Rebel News podcast.
00:00:47.660 Tonight, Trudeau breaks the law again, steering millions of tax dollars to a charity that secretly
00:01:01.880 pays his family. It's July 10th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:07.560 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:11.020 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:15.340 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my
00:01:19.940 bloody right to do so.
00:01:25.980 Let me start with some disclaimers.
00:01:28.220 Canadaland is a left-wing gossip website run by an unethical man named Jesse Brown.
00:01:33.860 His journalism is often shoddy to the point of being dishonest.
00:01:36.720 He had a brief moment of fame when he helped break the news about Gian Gomeschi,
00:01:43.200 the CBC journalist who routinely assaulted women with the CBC's knowledge and protection.
00:01:48.420 It was a great scoop and Brown actually co-wrote the big breaking story on the subject for the
00:01:54.200 Toronto Star as a guest writer, but he didn't tell the whole story. He just couldn't help himself
00:01:59.120 and he tweaked it a little bit beyond what the facts could support.
00:02:02.680 The Toronto Star continued to follow the story, but they never let Jesse Brown write on that again
00:02:07.860 for them. My point is, he and his website,
00:02:11.260 Canadaland, they do gutter journalism. Most of the time
00:02:14.780 it's just boring gossip or left-wing whining.
00:02:18.580 But you know, as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson
00:02:21.220 once wrote in a wonderful article about tabloid journalism,
00:02:24.740 he said,
00:02:25.120 Not everyone can be a high-minded fancy pants like vultures or other carrion-eating scavenger
00:02:38.840 birds. They serve a purpose. Someone's got to do cleanup. Might as well be Jesse Brown.
00:02:44.460 And so I say, unironically,
00:02:48.180 kudos to Jesse Brown and his
00:02:49.980 left-wing gossip blog for
00:02:51.860 cleaning up Canada's gutters.
00:02:54.160 Just a little bit this week, he did it.
00:02:56.640 It was them.
00:02:58.020 Not the CBC that broke the news
00:03:00.200 that the giant corporation called
00:03:01.660 We Charity has been secretly
00:03:04.320 paying hundreds of thousands of dollars
00:03:06.120 to Justin Trudeau's family,
00:03:08.060 all while Trudeau himself was trying
00:03:10.280 to steer hundreds of millions of tax
00:03:12.280 dollars to We Charity in a
00:03:14.400 bizarre and corrupt scheme.
00:03:16.680 The news had been out there a week
00:03:18.380 before about this weird scheme
00:03:20.600 by Trudeau. There were obvious
00:03:22.640 little lies. Did Trudeau call
00:03:24.500 We or did he not?
00:03:26.320 Who told them they had the deal?
00:03:27.820 Their alibis weren't all straight. It was strange.
00:03:30.880 Why would you ask a private company
00:03:32.300 to run a government program off the books
00:03:34.420 beyond the reach of scrutiny
00:03:36.060 instead of the professional civil service
00:03:38.120 with its audits and checks and balances
00:03:40.100 and systems?
00:03:40.680 That's what was going on.
00:03:42.900 They wanted to parcel out nearly a billion
00:03:44.660 dollars to volunteers,
00:03:46.180 which is weird in itself.
00:03:47.460 You don't pay volunteers.
00:03:49.440 So it's all very strange.
00:03:50.820 And someone at We panicked,
00:03:52.440 or maybe it was someone at the PMO
00:03:53.920 who panicked.
00:03:54.760 Really, the organizations are merged,
00:03:56.760 we've since learned.
00:03:58.080 So it was starting to look back
00:03:59.380 and they just stopped it.
00:04:01.540 Now, Canada Land has been investigating
00:04:03.180 We for more than a year.
00:04:04.480 It was good work, I admit.
00:04:05.660 And you know it was good work
00:04:06.800 because We threatened to sue them over it.
00:04:08.840 But they never did sue.
00:04:10.620 In fact, we, again, very weird,
00:04:13.080 they hired, I think it was a retired judge
00:04:15.580 to write some, almost like a ruling
00:04:18.040 as if a lawsuit had happened.
00:04:19.960 They just rented out a former judge
00:04:22.380 and they paid him to denounce Canada Land.
00:04:25.540 But they didn't actually sue
00:04:26.740 and take Canada Land to a real court.
00:04:28.320 They bought off someone powerful
00:04:29.460 but retired to say,
00:04:30.660 Canada Land is mean.
00:04:32.200 Again, it's so weird
00:04:33.120 and so cult-like in a way, isn't it?
00:04:34.740 You can't insult the Kielbergers.
00:04:36.980 They'll sue.
00:04:37.660 But in the end, they didn't sue.
00:04:39.000 They just hired a big shot and pretended.
00:04:40.540 So Canada Land was on the case.
00:04:42.940 And then there was this $900 million scheme
00:04:44.720 that just crumbled.
00:04:46.340 And then just last week,
00:04:48.300 there was this bizarre, extreme confessions
00:04:51.440 by a former We staffer
00:04:53.420 who was working in Kenya
00:04:54.440 talking about crimes
00:04:55.880 and financial skullduggery
00:04:57.200 and the Kielbergers expecting
00:04:59.180 total personal loyalty and silence.
00:05:01.700 Again, cult-like.
00:05:03.180 And amongst the admissions
00:05:04.600 that we had hired a private investigator
00:05:07.560 in Toronto
00:05:08.420 to write a sneaky report
00:05:10.380 about Jesse Brown,
00:05:12.360 including about his wife
00:05:13.960 and his children.
00:05:16.840 Oh my God.
00:05:18.120 Like I say, creepy, bizarre, cult-like.
00:05:21.260 I'm no fan of Jesse Brown,
00:05:22.420 but what are you doing
00:05:23.680 going after his kids?
00:05:25.280 That's We.
00:05:27.960 So pressure was building on We, the charity,
00:05:30.560 between their schemes and scams
00:05:31.760 and confessions
00:05:32.420 and then the $900 million thing
00:05:34.200 and this private investigator weirdness.
00:05:36.240 Things were vibrating almost.
00:05:37.740 And then, bam, look at this pay dirt.
00:05:41.220 Trudeau family paid hundreds of thousands
00:05:43.220 by We organization charity.
00:05:45.360 Says it directly paid
00:05:46.280 for some of Margaret Trudeau's speeches in error.
00:05:48.900 Sure you did, guys.
00:05:50.540 We says it paid $312,000
00:05:52.520 for 28 speaking events by Margaret Trudeau.
00:05:54.640 The mother of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
00:05:56.760 And $40,000 for eight speeches,
00:05:59.300 eight events with Alexandre Sacha Trudeau,
00:06:02.080 the PM's brother.
00:06:03.560 Ah, you know,
00:06:04.460 they just kept making those payments in error
00:06:07.280 28 times.
00:06:09.080 Could happen to anyone.
00:06:10.320 I mean, paying $312,000
00:06:11.600 to the Prime Minister's mom,
00:06:13.080 completely not a bride, people.
00:06:15.780 And sending Trudeau's wife and whole family
00:06:18.000 on luxury trips to London
00:06:19.820 just this spring.
00:06:20.860 Didn't they learn anything
00:06:22.980 about taking free trips
00:06:24.400 from the Aga Khan
00:06:25.460 and Billionaire Island in the Bahamas?
00:06:27.580 But here's the strangest part.
00:06:29.160 Canada Land was on the hunt,
00:06:31.020 putting questions to We in advance,
00:06:32.640 which is good,
00:06:33.160 practiced journalistically and legally.
00:06:34.680 So We charity thought,
00:06:36.240 how do we do an insider move here?
00:06:39.080 Just like we hired a former judge
00:06:40.400 to write a whitewash of them.
00:06:42.160 How do they play their strengths,
00:06:44.280 their corrupt inside connections?
00:06:46.540 Well, they leaked the story
00:06:48.280 with the bad news about themselves.
00:06:50.000 They leaked it preemptively
00:06:51.400 to the CBC,
00:06:52.740 knowing that the CBC
00:06:54.000 would spin it
00:06:55.120 in the most positive way possible.
00:06:58.100 And so they did.
00:06:58.980 Look at this.
00:06:59.980 See what they did here?
00:07:01.080 They knew the news was coming out,
00:07:02.560 so they just gave it
00:07:03.300 to their PR firm
00:07:04.360 that happens to be called the CBC.
00:07:06.960 Oh, and the CBC did not disappoint.
00:07:09.320 Here's Aaron Wary,
00:07:10.500 the reporter at the CBC
00:07:11.540 who used to actually write stories
00:07:13.960 about Trudeau's socks.
00:07:15.480 Remember him?
00:07:16.060 So he said,
00:07:16.920 one other odd thing
00:07:18.220 about two of those episodes,
00:07:20.600 the Aga Khan and We,
00:07:22.180 is how you can trace them back
00:07:23.620 to Trudeau's own unique life and status.
00:07:27.100 Stephen Harper didn't have to worry
00:07:28.480 about getting invited
00:07:29.320 to the Aga Khan's island
00:07:30.600 and his mother and brother
00:07:31.900 weren't celebrities.
00:07:33.440 Yeah, stop lying, please, Aaron.
00:07:36.100 Trudeau was actually not invited
00:07:37.600 to those islands.
00:07:39.680 Sophie Trudeau kept calling up
00:07:40.960 and saying,
00:07:41.260 can I come, can I come, can I come?
00:07:42.480 Don't put this on the Aga Khan.
00:07:44.220 But even if you take it at face value,
00:07:46.220 Aaron Wary is arguing
00:07:47.380 that it's not Trudeau's fault
00:07:48.940 that he's just a moocher
00:07:50.560 and a looter and a grifter
00:07:51.520 and perhaps a thief.
00:07:53.300 You see, he's the victim here
00:07:54.780 because ordinary people
00:07:56.240 don't have the problems
00:07:57.220 to the demigods amongst us too.
00:07:59.440 You can't blame him.
00:08:00.420 We can all learn from this.
00:08:01.460 This is a teachable moment
00:08:02.340 for all of us.
00:08:04.120 Here's CBC's government comedians
00:08:05.780 at their show,
00:08:06.980 This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
00:08:09.020 Breaking!
00:08:09.800 Conservative Party calls
00:08:10.800 for a criminal investigation
00:08:11.840 into why the Liberal Party's
00:08:13.640 ratings are so high.
00:08:15.220 Oh, that's comedy for you.
00:08:18.320 That's government comedy for you.
00:08:20.660 Is that what's really the news here?
00:08:23.060 That conservatives are jealous?
00:08:24.660 That Trudeau is amazing?
00:08:26.820 Aren't comedians supposed to make jokes
00:08:29.240 about the powerful?
00:08:30.760 Isn't that what the king's jester
00:08:32.480 used to do?
00:08:34.260 Oh, and moments later,
00:08:35.220 this news broke.
00:08:37.460 Bill Morneau, the finance minister,
00:08:38.900 his daughter works with We.
00:08:41.060 Oh, and again,
00:08:42.320 the CBC was leaked the bad stuff
00:08:43.740 to spin much friendlier
00:08:44.740 than Candleland.
00:08:45.960 Bill Morneau has family ties
00:08:47.440 to We Charity,
00:08:48.180 did not steer clear of cabinet
00:08:49.380 discussion of contracts.
00:08:50.280 So two members
00:08:51.620 of different ministers' families
00:08:54.100 have ties to the charity.
00:08:56.700 And in Morneau's case,
00:08:58.120 two members of his family,
00:08:59.140 one is a paid contract employee,
00:09:01.860 so they're corrupt.
00:09:04.880 I think they're all corrupt.
00:09:07.900 The Liberals fired the two
00:09:09.400 non-corrupt souls
00:09:10.420 in the whole cabinet,
00:09:11.400 Jody Wilson-Raybould,
00:09:12.140 and Jane Philpott
00:09:13.660 quit in solidarity with her.
00:09:15.020 And, you know,
00:09:16.480 nothing happened.
00:09:18.180 Trudeau won re-election.
00:09:20.240 He took it as a vindication.
00:09:21.860 But here's the question
00:09:22.460 I'm really scared about.
00:09:23.780 If Justin Trudeau's family
00:09:25.040 has secretly been taking
00:09:26.520 huge sums of cash
00:09:28.120 from We
00:09:29.100 without telling us,
00:09:30.640 and the cabinet's
00:09:31.480 all involved in it too,
00:09:34.180 who else is paying
00:09:35.240 the Trudeau family?
00:09:36.960 What other companies?
00:09:38.320 What other lobby groups?
00:09:39.400 What other foreign embassies?
00:09:43.560 Don't forget Trudeau's brother,
00:09:45.060 Alexandre Trudeau,
00:09:46.000 who took a payoff from We.
00:09:47.400 He published a book
00:09:48.300 with the Chinese government.
00:09:49.560 Remember that?
00:09:50.360 The book now,
00:09:52.060 Being a Barbarian in China,
00:09:54.540 in the New China.
00:09:55.780 So why the book
00:09:56.780 and why that title?
00:09:57.960 Well, the book itself,
00:10:00.800 it is sort of
00:10:02.000 an organic phenomenon.
00:10:04.260 The Chinese wanted
00:10:05.360 to write a book
00:10:06.080 on my father's visit to China
00:10:08.220 and they asked me to write,
00:10:09.700 this was in 60,
00:10:10.580 and they asked me
00:10:11.600 to write the preface
00:10:12.180 and the Canadian edition
00:10:13.260 was published in Vancouver.
00:10:14.780 They published it
00:10:15.840 so they asked me
00:10:16.520 to write a longer preface
00:10:18.460 and I said, fine,
00:10:19.900 but I would like
00:10:20.800 to go back to China
00:10:21.780 and get into things,
00:10:23.780 rediscover the country.
00:10:25.260 And when I went there,
00:10:26.160 I found I had
00:10:26.840 so many things to say
00:10:27.800 that they said,
00:10:28.500 well, we can't put that
00:10:29.200 in a preface.
00:10:30.760 So we'll put it
00:10:31.780 in a section
00:10:32.280 and actually,
00:10:33.720 we'd like you to write
00:10:34.360 a full book on it.
00:10:35.220 So Alexander Trudeau
00:10:36.660 was hired to write
00:10:37.360 a propaganda book
00:10:38.020 for China.
00:10:38.620 How much did China
00:10:39.480 pay him for that?
00:10:41.720 And what, if anything,
00:10:42.480 are they paying Trudeau's mom
00:10:43.900 or his wife?
00:10:47.040 Stay with us for more.
00:10:48.280 Well, one of my favorite
00:11:01.640 independent journalists,
00:11:03.180 one who's not on the take
00:11:04.760 from Trudeau's media bailout,
00:11:06.720 is an independent journalist
00:11:08.160 based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
00:11:09.880 You probably know him.
00:11:10.800 His name is Spencer Fernando
00:11:12.580 and I'm delighted
00:11:13.340 to talk with him again today.
00:11:15.060 Spencer, great to see you again.
00:11:16.360 This is a scandal
00:11:17.580 about Justin Trudeau,
00:11:18.640 but in a way,
00:11:19.940 it's also a sign
00:11:21.520 of what happens
00:11:22.200 when you put the media
00:11:23.680 on the Trudeau payroll too,
00:11:25.520 isn't it?
00:11:27.160 Yeah, I mean,
00:11:27.820 if you look at, you know,
00:11:29.300 just the way it's been covered,
00:11:30.860 they really didn't want it covered
00:11:31.880 until Canada Land
00:11:33.120 really brought it to attention.
00:11:34.720 Then Rebel did a lot
00:11:35.740 of reporting on it.
00:11:36.500 I've been reporting on it.
00:11:37.980 And really,
00:11:38.540 I think the establishment media
00:11:39.720 has been shamed
00:11:40.520 into giving the story
00:11:41.440 any coverage at all.
00:11:42.960 Yeah, one thing that I think
00:11:44.740 this is the timing,
00:11:46.360 I think Canada Land
00:11:47.640 was really going at it hard.
00:11:50.580 And it was about to break
00:11:52.120 so we knew that
00:11:54.080 if they gave the scoop
00:11:55.380 to the CBC,
00:11:56.700 they would be treated friendlier
00:11:58.700 than if Canada Land
00:12:00.520 had brought it out.
00:12:01.320 So I think that's a move
00:12:02.600 that companies
00:12:03.680 or governments do sometimes
00:12:04.900 is they say,
00:12:05.780 do we have a pet
00:12:06.660 in the media
00:12:07.360 who will be gentle with us?
00:12:09.200 We know the news
00:12:09.940 is coming out.
00:12:10.480 Who's going to be
00:12:10.880 the gentlest?
00:12:11.400 I think it speaks volumes
00:12:12.820 that they knew
00:12:13.820 the CBC would go easy on them.
00:12:17.780 Yeah, I mean,
00:12:18.460 it's kind of
00:12:18.960 crisis communication 101.
00:12:21.080 If you know a scandal
00:12:22.020 is going to come out,
00:12:22.740 then you release it first.
00:12:23.900 You try to beat the story
00:12:24.840 and you try to get it
00:12:25.540 to someone you think
00:12:26.200 is going to be supportive
00:12:27.540 or friendly.
00:12:28.460 And the real issue is,
00:12:29.620 you know,
00:12:29.880 the CBC,
00:12:30.620 we all pay for it.
00:12:31.620 So it's not supposed
00:12:32.760 to be friendly
00:12:33.540 to friends of the Liberal Party.
00:12:35.400 So the fact that
00:12:36.520 they even felt like
00:12:37.380 the CBC would be friendly
00:12:38.420 in and of itself,
00:12:39.300 that's a pretty serious problem.
00:12:41.680 I want to read
00:12:42.380 from your website,
00:12:43.440 spencerfernando.com.
00:12:44.780 You make some great points.
00:12:46.200 I didn't see this.
00:12:47.340 I mean,
00:12:47.520 this is a subtle point,
00:12:48.760 but it's actually
00:12:49.160 really important.
00:12:50.240 The headline is
00:12:50.860 Amid We Scandal,
00:12:52.840 CBC writer portrays Trudeau
00:12:54.320 as victim of his own status.
00:12:56.480 So I can't even read that,
00:12:57.860 Spencer,
00:12:58.100 without laughing.
00:12:59.360 Manages to shoehorn Harper
00:13:01.220 into the conversation.
00:13:03.240 I mean,
00:13:03.900 tell me a little bit
00:13:05.520 about that.
00:13:06.060 That's Aaron Wary.
00:13:07.480 Am I right?
00:13:07.960 That's the CBC,
00:13:09.380 I call him their house liberal.
00:13:11.400 He just knows the game plan.
00:13:13.460 Try and deflect,
00:13:14.520 try and,
00:13:15.300 you know,
00:13:15.900 try and blame Harper
00:13:16.980 if you can.
00:13:17.600 Harper hasn't even been
00:13:18.600 in the public,
00:13:19.280 he hasn't said a word
00:13:20.060 about this,
00:13:20.800 but that's the CBC's
00:13:21.920 playbook,
00:13:22.360 isn't it?
00:13:23.640 Yeah,
00:13:24.020 so he put out
00:13:24.540 a series of tweets
00:13:25.480 and he said,
00:13:26.380 basically,
00:13:27.480 oh,
00:13:27.700 this never really
00:13:28.220 would have happened
00:13:28.740 if Justin Trudeau
00:13:29.420 wasn't so famous
00:13:30.340 and didn't have
00:13:31.000 such high status.
00:13:32.580 And just like
00:13:33.360 the Aga Khan scandal,
00:13:34.620 you know,
00:13:34.820 it's not really his fault
00:13:35.820 he has all these
00:13:36.460 high profile friends.
00:13:38.420 So that itself
00:13:39.140 is bad enough,
00:13:39.820 you know,
00:13:39.980 making excuses for it.
00:13:41.580 But then at the end
00:13:42.460 he says,
00:13:42.920 oh,
00:13:43.120 you know,
00:13:43.440 just like the liberals,
00:13:44.720 I guess,
00:13:44.980 have a problem
00:13:45.500 with Trudeau's status,
00:13:46.660 the conservatives
00:13:47.140 had a problem
00:13:47.840 with Harper
00:13:48.640 being too controlling.
00:13:50.260 And so again,
00:13:50.940 what does Stephen Harper
00:13:51.640 have to do with this at all?
00:13:52.680 It's like,
00:13:52.980 it's such an obvious tactic
00:13:54.380 to deflect blame,
00:13:56.240 to bring up something else.
00:13:57.840 And again,
00:13:58.380 you know,
00:13:58.620 when the conservatives
00:13:59.140 have scandals,
00:13:59.920 you never see coverage
00:14:00.840 like that.
00:14:01.240 It's never like,
00:14:01.800 oh,
00:14:01.860 here's some context
00:14:02.720 to what some
00:14:03.900 are calling
00:14:04.420 an Andrew Scheer scandal.
00:14:06.060 It's just no huge scandal
00:14:07.160 he has to answer for it,
00:14:08.080 he has to go down.
00:14:09.300 But when it's
00:14:09.680 a liberal scandal,
00:14:10.600 oh,
00:14:10.960 no,
00:14:11.420 here's,
00:14:11.760 you know,
00:14:11.960 the context
00:14:12.760 is really important here.
00:14:14.040 And,
00:14:14.140 you know,
00:14:14.260 maybe Stephen Harper
00:14:15.040 was even worse,
00:14:15.760 maybe we should
00:14:16.140 talk about that.
00:14:16.920 So again,
00:14:17.800 you know,
00:14:18.060 we're paying for this crap.
00:14:19.400 Yeah.
00:14:19.860 You know,
00:14:20.980 I'm glad Aga Khan
00:14:22.380 was brought up.
00:14:23.120 That's the billionaire
00:14:24.400 philanthropist.
00:14:25.100 I actually like the Aga Khan.
00:14:26.380 I think he's a very
00:14:27.200 moderate and progressive
00:14:28.500 force in Islam.
00:14:29.720 I like the guy.
00:14:31.780 Whether or not
00:14:32.280 we should be giving
00:14:33.040 tens of millions of dollars
00:14:34.120 to his programs
00:14:35.380 is another question.
00:14:36.700 But the reason Trudeau
00:14:38.460 was convicted of breaking
00:14:40.060 the Conflict of Interest Act
00:14:41.620 by going to the Aga Khan's
00:14:43.720 private island in the Bahamas
00:14:45.440 was precisely because
00:14:46.940 it looked like a quid pro quo.
00:14:48.960 The Aga Khan wanted money
00:14:50.140 from Canada for his works.
00:14:51.940 All right.
00:14:52.700 But Trudeau was taking
00:14:54.040 a private gift from the Aga Khan.
00:14:56.180 It looked like it was
00:14:57.180 an,
00:14:57.520 I'll scratch your back,
00:14:58.220 you'll scratch mine
00:14:58.880 in return for a $100,000
00:15:00.720 luxury vacation.
00:15:02.520 I'll get a lot of dough for me.
00:15:03.980 That's how it looked
00:15:04.740 and he was convicted of that.
00:15:06.480 Well, here we are again
00:15:07.460 and here you have
00:15:09.540 Trudeau's family,
00:15:11.140 his wife,
00:15:12.220 his mom,
00:15:13.120 his brother,
00:15:14.400 taking free trips
00:15:16.080 including the recent
00:15:16.920 free trip to London
00:15:17.760 for his wife Sophie
00:15:18.980 but also more than $300
00:15:20.780 in plain old cash.
00:15:22.800 And look,
00:15:23.320 in return,
00:15:24.080 there's the quid pro quo
00:15:25.260 handling a $900 million
00:15:27.980 benefits program
00:15:30.200 taking a huge cut
00:15:32.020 of things
00:15:32.600 sole source contract.
00:15:35.040 I'm glad Aaron Wery
00:15:36.520 brought up Aga Khan
00:15:37.660 because it shows
00:15:38.400 that Trudeau hasn't learned
00:15:39.440 a thing
00:15:40.000 other than
00:15:40.900 to add a few zeros
00:15:42.380 to the size of the scam.
00:15:45.080 Yeah, I mean,
00:15:45.880 it's the same attitude.
00:15:46.700 I wrote something
00:15:47.220 for the National Citizens Coalition
00:15:48.960 that went out today
00:15:50.360 and basically said,
00:15:51.300 you know,
00:15:51.500 the big problem here
00:15:52.320 is Justin Trudeau
00:15:53.160 thinks he's better
00:15:53.800 than the rest of us.
00:15:54.680 He thinks the rules
00:15:55.280 don't apply to him.
00:15:56.660 He thinks he should get
00:15:57.580 to live kind of
00:15:58.600 the lifestyle of a celebrity
00:15:59.600 while also being
00:16:00.820 the prime minister.
00:16:01.580 I mean,
00:16:01.700 you can pick one
00:16:02.280 or the other,
00:16:02.700 you know,
00:16:02.900 live the life
00:16:03.360 of a prime minister,
00:16:04.160 be modest
00:16:04.720 when you serve the country
00:16:05.780 and then when you're done,
00:16:06.880 yeah,
00:16:07.000 if you want to go
00:16:07.400 be a celebrity,
00:16:08.060 do whatever you want
00:16:08.620 but he tries to combine
00:16:09.480 both of them.
00:16:10.500 He thinks the rules
00:16:11.060 don't apply to him
00:16:11.860 and think of what
00:16:12.840 would happen to any of us
00:16:13.800 if we did anything
00:16:14.540 even one-tenth
00:16:15.220 of what he did,
00:16:15.880 right?
00:16:16.020 The full power
00:16:16.740 of the government
00:16:17.300 will be brought down
00:16:18.600 upon us.
00:16:19.460 So Trudeau,
00:16:20.060 he thinks he's better
00:16:21.020 than the rest of us.
00:16:21.840 He thinks the rules
00:16:22.460 don't apply
00:16:23.040 and he thinks
00:16:23.780 he should keep
00:16:24.260 getting away with it.
00:16:25.780 Yeah.
00:16:26.180 You know,
00:16:26.780 I don't want to bring in
00:16:27.780 spouses of politicians
00:16:29.000 or families of politicians
00:16:30.140 because 99% of the time
00:16:32.240 it's irrelevant
00:16:32.940 and it's a bit mean
00:16:33.920 to bring them in
00:16:34.660 but in this case
00:16:36.020 it is relevant
00:16:36.920 because the family
00:16:38.000 took the money
00:16:39.480 over 300 grand
00:16:41.040 and in particular
00:16:42.800 Sophie Trudeau,
00:16:44.940 it looks like
00:16:46.520 she didn't take
00:16:47.340 that much cash
00:16:48.840 but she took
00:16:49.760 a luxury trip
00:16:50.760 with the whole family
00:16:51.980 to London, England
00:16:53.360 where they met
00:16:54.340 the celebrity actor
00:16:55.940 Idris Elba.
00:16:57.500 London's a very
00:16:58.120 expensive city
00:16:58.840 and to travel
00:16:59.520 in that high style
00:17:00.700 that the Trudeaus
00:17:01.360 have become accustomed
00:17:02.000 with that whole entourage
00:17:03.260 there's no way
00:17:04.520 that was less than
00:17:05.480 20, 30, 40 grand
00:17:06.920 and I read
00:17:09.180 the Aga Khan
00:17:10.040 conflict of interest report
00:17:11.360 and believe it or not
00:17:12.540 Spencer,
00:17:13.400 it was Sophie
00:17:14.340 that was calling
00:17:15.640 the Aga Khan's daughter
00:17:16.940 Princess Zara
00:17:17.800 and saying
00:17:18.220 can I bring
00:17:19.160 my girlfriends over
00:17:20.200 can we come over
00:17:21.020 she was the one
00:17:21.900 who was really
00:17:22.780 driving
00:17:23.500 going back
00:17:25.040 to that island
00:17:25.660 again and again
00:17:26.460 and I
00:17:27.680 you know
00:17:28.700 again I don't think
00:17:29.640 it's normally fair
00:17:30.620 to criticize
00:17:31.380 a spouse
00:17:32.680 but I have to say
00:17:33.760 I knew
00:17:34.100 Laureen Harper
00:17:34.840 pretty well
00:17:35.580 she was the most
00:17:36.640 down to earth
00:17:37.900 gal you ever
00:17:38.760 imagined
00:17:39.300 her idea
00:17:41.220 of a vacation
00:17:41.860 was hiking
00:17:42.560 in some mountain
00:17:43.820 somewhere
00:17:44.280 in Canada
00:17:45.340 there was no
00:17:46.240 private jets
00:17:47.100 there was no
00:17:47.660 calling up
00:17:48.240 a princess
00:17:48.860 I have to
00:17:50.760 let me give
00:17:51.780 a drop of sympathy
00:17:53.220 to Justin Trudeau
00:17:54.240 maybe some of this
00:17:56.260 is Sophie
00:17:56.940 demanding that
00:17:58.360 Kardashian lifestyle
00:17:59.780 it sure was
00:18:00.480 with the island
00:18:01.120 in the Bahamas
00:18:01.900 yeah well in some ways
00:18:03.860 I'd say that's almost
00:18:04.540 insulting to the
00:18:05.300 Kardashians
00:18:05.840 because at least
00:18:06.340 they're doing
00:18:06.700 their own money
00:18:07.720 right there
00:18:08.200 in the private sector
00:18:09.680 here you've got
00:18:10.800 people who
00:18:11.520 I mean you know
00:18:12.420 I think you know
00:18:13.500 the big issue is
00:18:14.780 whether it's just
00:18:15.420 the whole Trudeau
00:18:16.040 family or just
00:18:16.760 the attitude
00:18:17.160 is they want
00:18:17.760 to keep living
00:18:18.280 a certain lifestyle
00:18:19.000 when they're
00:18:19.660 serving the country
00:18:20.340 and it's really
00:18:20.800 not compatible
00:18:21.440 at all
00:18:21.860 and you know
00:18:23.200 you have a situation
00:18:25.180 where Trudeau
00:18:25.880 thinks that the rules
00:18:27.540 don't apply to him
00:18:28.380 and in some ways
00:18:29.680 I can see why
00:18:30.260 he thinks that
00:18:30.740 because what's
00:18:31.640 the worst that
00:18:32.060 happens to him
00:18:32.620 oh he's found guilty
00:18:33.600 oh he gets fined
00:18:34.380 a little bit
00:18:34.820 gets a little bit
00:18:35.380 of criticism
00:18:35.840 you know the way
00:18:37.260 to really punish
00:18:38.080 politicians in the
00:18:38.900 system doesn't
00:18:39.400 really exist
00:18:39.920 because the punishments
00:18:40.920 for ethic violations
00:18:41.940 are tiny
00:18:42.920 so I think you know
00:18:44.520 it has to be done
00:18:45.120 at the ballot box
00:18:45.840 or the conservatives
00:18:46.600 are talking about
00:18:47.200 criminal investigation
00:18:48.440 I think that needs
00:18:49.180 to happen too
00:18:49.760 you know there needs
00:18:50.300 to be some fear
00:18:51.900 in the minds
00:18:52.880 of some of these
00:18:53.360 politicians
00:18:53.820 that they're going
00:18:54.680 to actually pay
00:18:55.240 a criminal price
00:18:56.120 if they start
00:18:56.660 breaking the law
00:18:57.380 and treating our
00:18:58.480 tax dollars like
00:18:59.300 it's their own
00:18:59.700 personal play thing
00:19:00.500 yeah
00:19:01.160 and now we see
00:19:02.240 news that Bill
00:19:02.820 Morneau the finance
00:19:03.660 minister his family
00:19:04.800 is involved with
00:19:06.140 WE Charity as well
00:19:07.660 including as a
00:19:09.320 paid staffer
00:19:10.500 I want to ask you
00:19:11.920 this I mean I
00:19:12.600 thought that the
00:19:13.240 SNC Lavalance
00:19:14.440 scandal was huge
00:19:16.420 I mean to have
00:19:17.420 a sitting justice
00:19:18.440 minister quit
00:19:19.880 and then another
00:19:20.740 cabinet minister
00:19:21.800 Jane Philpott quit
00:19:22.700 in solidarity
00:19:23.460 and basically
00:19:24.520 called Trudeau a liar
00:19:25.700 record a conversation
00:19:28.120 where they were
00:19:29.240 clearly pressured
00:19:29.920 if he could survive
00:19:31.420 that politically
00:19:32.220 I'm worried that
00:19:34.240 there's no check
00:19:35.220 and balance in
00:19:35.980 Canada especially
00:19:36.660 with parliament
00:19:37.320 really not in
00:19:39.920 full tilt anyways
00:19:40.920 with his hand
00:19:42.860 picked RCMP
00:19:43.660 commissioner
00:19:44.180 if she wouldn't
00:19:45.160 touch SNC
00:19:45.900 Lavalance
00:19:46.440 how likely is she
00:19:48.420 to do anything
00:19:48.880 here
00:19:49.140 I'm worried it's
00:19:49.940 going to get away
00:19:50.460 with it Spencer
00:19:51.040 yeah we also have
00:19:53.520 to consider too
00:19:54.260 the media
00:19:54.700 I mean much of
00:19:55.220 the establishment
00:19:55.720 media
00:19:56.180 really they cover
00:19:58.140 up for them
00:19:58.620 or they minimize
00:19:59.120 it I think we're
00:19:59.820 starting to see
00:20:00.420 the rise of
00:20:01.180 independent media
00:20:02.280 becoming a lot
00:20:02.940 stronger in this
00:20:03.560 country
00:20:03.800 it's not quite
00:20:04.920 at the point
00:20:05.300 where it rivals
00:20:05.900 the strength of
00:20:06.520 the establishment
00:20:07.020 media just
00:20:07.560 because of the
00:20:07.960 money that in
00:20:08.540 many ways
00:20:09.020 Trudeau is throwing
00:20:09.720 into that old
00:20:10.400 system
00:20:10.820 but you're
00:20:11.640 starting to see
00:20:12.220 it at least
00:20:12.620 force the media
00:20:13.640 to cover more
00:20:14.400 stories even
00:20:15.420 when they don't
00:20:15.720 really want to
00:20:16.320 force the government
00:20:17.000 to respond to
00:20:17.700 things they don't
00:20:18.120 want to
00:20:18.440 so I think it is
00:20:19.560 starting to change
00:20:20.440 but it's not
00:20:21.000 changing right away
00:20:22.280 and you know
00:20:23.360 the establishment
00:20:23.880 media still has
00:20:24.520 a lot of power
00:20:25.060 a lot of people
00:20:25.600 only get their
00:20:26.200 news from there
00:20:26.820 and so it takes
00:20:28.180 a lot to wake
00:20:28.740 people up sometimes
00:20:29.680 and yeah I mean
00:20:31.540 the conservatives
00:20:32.380 they're also in the
00:20:33.020 midst of a leadership
00:20:33.660 race
00:20:34.040 they're not really
00:20:34.520 in a position
00:20:35.040 to do much
00:20:35.640 at this point
00:20:36.080 yeah that's a good
00:20:37.180 point
00:20:37.480 hey you mentioned
00:20:38.760 the rise of the
00:20:39.480 independent media
00:20:40.100 and I was talking
00:20:40.680 to Candice Malcolm
00:20:41.540 of True North
00:20:42.660 the other day
00:20:43.100 she started the
00:20:43.980 independent press
00:20:44.940 gallery
00:20:45.260 we have applied
00:20:47.540 for our journalists
00:20:48.560 here and I know
00:20:49.460 some others have
00:20:50.100 do you mind if I
00:20:50.980 ask you have you
00:20:51.720 followed that at all
00:20:53.020 have you looked at
00:20:53.840 what she's doing
00:20:54.540 and would you
00:20:55.140 consider joining
00:20:56.340 the independent
00:20:56.820 press gallery too
00:20:57.660 yeah I think it's
00:20:59.160 a great idea
00:20:59.760 I mean I've been
00:21:00.400 pretty critical
00:21:01.000 of the press
00:21:01.980 gallery
00:21:02.440 the current press
00:21:04.120 gallery in Ottawa
00:21:04.860 for some time
00:21:06.100 I think it's a
00:21:06.600 great initiative
00:21:07.100 by Candice
00:21:07.740 and I definitely
00:21:08.500 will be applying
00:21:09.200 I think it's
00:21:09.920 good to see
00:21:10.660 you know hopefully
00:21:11.540 what you talked
00:21:12.240 about the growth
00:21:13.400 and strength
00:21:14.000 of independent
00:21:15.020 voices we sure
00:21:15.920 need them now
00:21:16.440 more than ever
00:21:16.940 well listen my
00:21:17.620 friend it's great
00:21:18.060 to talk with you

00:21:22.660 viewers and I
00:21:23.160 said this before
00:21:23.780 when Candice was
00:21:24.520 on the show
00:21:25.040 it behooves all
00:21:27.800 of us to
00:21:29.040 support any
00:21:30.440 independent voices

00:21:32.180 journalism
00:21:32.660 and I know
00:21:33.400 Spencer Fernando
00:21:34.240 like us
00:21:35.040 doesn't take
00:21:35.640 a dime

00:21:42.880 he's an important
00:21:44.060 voice in Manitoba
00:21:45.320 and I believe
00:21:46.040 he's an important
00:21:46.540 voice nationally

00:21:48.200 you on the show

00:21:52.740 of them already
00:21:53.140 are but it's
00:21:53.720 great to
00:21:54.140 cross pollinate

00:21:55.540 good luck
00:21:55.900 my friend
00:21:56.320 thank you

00:22:01.020 more ahead
00:22:01.540 hey welcome
00:22:13.620 back my monologue
00:22:14.260 last night
00:22:14.820 LB writes
00:22:15.720 as David always
00:22:16.740 says rules for
00:22:17.400 thee but not
00:22:17.940 for me
00:22:18.460 excellent reporting
00:22:19.780 rebel news
00:22:20.220 keep up the good
00:22:20.700 work
00:22:21.020 thanks very much
00:22:22.560 you know
00:22:22.980 sometimes I feel
00:22:24.420 like we are alone
00:22:25.300 but there's good
00:22:26.220 guys out there
00:22:26.760 like Candace
00:22:27.300 Malcolm
00:22:27.660 and Spencer
00:22:28.360 Fernando
00:22:28.840 maybe Spencer
00:22:29.880 was right
00:22:30.300 when he says
00:22:30.820 there's an
00:22:31.120 alternative group
00:22:32.160 of independent
00:22:32.740 journalists rising
00:22:33.620 Grace writes
00:22:35.220 everyone is an
00:22:36.640 essential worker
00:22:37.360 well it's true
00:22:39.520 in their own lives
00:22:40.640 in their family
00:22:41.120 lives to put bread
00:22:41.840 on the table
00:22:42.240 of course they are
00:22:42.980 and why not let
00:22:43.940 people choose
00:22:44.600 for themselves
00:22:45.440 on my interview
00:22:46.820 with Lauren Gunter
00:22:47.420 on Trudeau's
00:22:47.960 We Day scandal
00:22:48.580 Paul writes
00:22:49.260 rampant corruption
00:22:50.560 is business as usual
00:22:51.500 for the liberals
00:22:51.980 I'm betting we're
00:22:52.800 only seeing the tip
00:22:53.540 of the liberal
00:22:54.120 corruption
00:22:54.680 I think you're so
00:22:55.400 right
00:22:55.680 and I was thinking
00:22:56.780 back to the glory
00:22:57.380 days when Stephen
00:22:58.540 Harper's government
00:22:59.300 buying a $16
00:23:00.780 orange juice
00:23:01.660 from the hotel
00:23:02.420 bar fridge
00:23:03.000 that was a
00:23:04.000 fireable offense
00:23:05.060 now you've got
00:23:05.580 the PM himself
00:23:06.600 hoovering up
00:23:07.680 hundreds of thousands
00:23:08.540 of dollars
00:23:09.020 via his family
00:23:09.920 I bet
00:23:11.160 it's like the
00:23:12.120 Clintons ran
00:23:12.880 that whole scheme
00:23:13.820 when Bill Clinton
00:23:15.960 was in private life
00:23:17.600 and Hillary Clinton
00:23:18.200 was Secretary of State
00:23:19.040 and they just had
00:23:20.300 hundreds of millions
00:23:21.520 of dollars
00:23:22.020 pouring into
00:23:22.880 the Clinton
00:23:23.360 Global Foundation
00:23:24.500 I bet the Trudeaus
00:23:26.120 are millionaires
00:23:27.860 many times over
00:23:28.800 during the same
00:23:29.980 period of time
00:23:30.500 and frankly
00:23:31.020 how would we
00:23:31.640 ever know
00:23:32.620 that's the show
00:23:33.780 for today
00:23:34.200 until Monday
00:23:35.700 on behalf of all
00:23:36.960 of us here
00:23:37.280 at Rebel World
00:23:37.660 Headquarters
00:23:38.240 to you at home
00:23:39.080 good night
00:23:39.460 keep fighting for freedom
00:23:41.120 all right
00:23:42.160 we are
00:23:57.060 you
