Summary
Why should others go to jail when you don't go out in public without masks? Ezra Levenant asks the question, and the answer is pretty simple: because it's Justin Trudeau's right to be a rule breaker.

Hello, my Rebels. I have a question for you. Do the rule makers for all this social distancing
00:00:05.620
and house arrest and lockdown, do the rule makers get to be rule breakers? Do they get
00:00:10.400
to go out and party and travel around? Well, in Canada, they do. I'll show you the story
00:00:16.120
of Justin Trudeau breaking his own rules mere minutes after he says them in the media's
00:00:21.100
response. By the way, I'd like to invite you to become a Rebel News Plus subscriber. It's
00:00:25.220
eight bucks a month to get the video version of this podcast, which I think is pretty helpful,
00:00:28.920
especially when I show you images of Trudeau partying. Just go to rebelnews.com and sign
00:00:36.280
up there. Okay, here's the podcast. Tonight, why don't the social distancing rules apply
00:00:56.360
to Justin Trudeau. It's April 14th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:02.440
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:06.180
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:10.220
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:16.100
I understand social distancing, standing six feet away from the next person in public. It's what you
00:01:27.100
have to do when you don't have masks, and Canada doesn't have masks because Trudeau shipped our masks
00:01:32.400
to China in February in some weird, submissive attempt to get those bullies to like him. Spoiler
00:01:39.280
alert. It didn't work. You can find some masks out there if you look long enough. I finally
00:01:44.600
found a handful of masks at a convenience store yesterday. Two bucks each for the flimsiest
00:01:50.280
made-in-China kind. I prefer the made-in-Taiwan kind, but I can't get any. As we've shown you in
00:01:57.520
other shows, Taiwan is a liberal democracy. They're worried about China, and they don't trust the World
00:02:02.400
Health Organization, so they have to rely on themselves, particularly when it comes to protecting
00:02:06.820
themselves from China viruses. So they built up a huge domestic mask-making infrastructure
00:02:12.700
in January and February. I think they're up to 15 million masks a day, and they don't export any.
00:02:20.260
They keep it for the Taiwanese people. It's amazing. Seriously, they're making half a billion masks a
00:02:26.140
month now. That's why they're safe. That's why they're not on a lockdown. And in a relatively small,
00:02:32.140
relatively crowded country with a very crowded capital city, Taipei, you can't social distance
00:02:38.000
six feet in every direction. But you don't need to if everyone's wearing masks. That's the whole
00:02:42.560
point of a mask. It stops what Pee Wee Herman used to talk about. Say it! Don't spray it, Captain Carol!
00:02:50.540
You don't really spit more than six feet when you talk. A mask lets you get closer.
00:02:56.120
This is what we're being advised to do in Canada instead. Six feet in every direction because we
00:03:02.800
have no masks. God, they must be laughing at us. Maybe if Trudeau wasn't such a suck-up to the
00:03:08.560
communist Chinese, Taiwan would be sending us gifts of a million masks at a time. And I mean high-quality,
00:03:16.340
sterile, Taiwan-made quality masks that you can rely on, not made in China junk. Alas, China,
00:03:22.440
Canada doesn't have much time for Taiwan because China is Trudeau's favorite country, you see.
00:03:27.440
There's a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship.
00:03:37.300
So we have no masks, which led to the bizarre spectacle of Teresa Tam, who, by the way,
00:03:42.740
actually sits on the World Health Organization's senior committee. Did you know that?
00:03:46.260
She literally works for the World Health Organization right now. So that leads her to say
00:03:50.880
bizarre things like don't wear masks, masks don't work, masks are dangerous.
00:03:55.880
Masks have to be utilized appropriately too. Most people haven't learned how to use masks. So there's
00:04:01.980
many practical aspects of this. So our advice right now is there is no need to use a mask for well people.
00:04:09.520
Yeah, no thanks. Hey, did you see Albertus Jason Kenney yesterday tell the CBC that, yeah,
00:04:14.480
Theresa Tam is a very nice lady, but we're sort of not going to listen to her anymore.
00:04:20.940
You know, this is the same Dr. Tam who is telling us that we shouldn't close our borders
00:04:25.280
to countries with high levels of infection and who in January was repeating talking points out of the
00:04:33.300
PRC about no evidence of human to human transmission. So we'll look at all of the body of evidence that's out there
00:04:41.760
Right on. Imagine waiting for Justin Trudeau and his World Health Organization
00:04:45.360
bureaucrats before using tests that the FDA and the European Union are using right now.
00:04:53.240
Did you see Jason, look at this, did you see Jason Kenney use the word China or Chinese or Hong Kong or Beijing
00:04:59.340
or race in his answer there on CBC? No, of course not. But this McLean's magazine editor, Scott Gilmore,
00:05:05.800
sure did. He's a writer for McLean's. He also happens to be Catherine McKenna's house husband.
00:05:12.040
He called Jason Kenney racist for not wanting to wait a few more weeks or months for a proper virus test
00:05:18.320
that Trudeau approves. Yeah, I'm not sure if that slur calling everyone racist works anymore.
00:05:23.440
I mean, once you've called borders racist and masks racist, I think most people sort of tune you out.
00:05:29.340
But back to the fool on the hill, Justin Trudeau, still in vacation mode.
00:05:33.580
He hid it out in his house for a month, even though he didn't have the virus, a month.
00:05:39.740
And our submissive media simply didn't call him out for it. In fact, there was a moment a week or two
00:05:44.680
ago when a reporter actually asked Justin Trudeau how he was coping, how he was holding up,
00:05:50.180
how he could maintain such a pace. I kid you not.
00:05:53.340
Yeah. Secondly, you're speaking to us every day. The deputy prime minister is either having meetings
00:05:59.180
or speaking to us. Dr. Tam is speaking to us virtually every day. What are you guys doing
00:06:02.980
to prevent burnout? I mean, there's no way you can continue at this pace. Are you drawing up some
00:06:07.940
sort of rotor? Seriously, the laziest man in Ottawa works 30 minutes a day, watches Netflix
00:06:12.660
and hits the bong for the rest. And the media are asking him if he's doing all right. Can they bring
00:06:17.580
him anything? Anyways, last week he gave a lecture to Canadians who were basically under house arrest.
00:06:22.700
You go to a walk for your dog, get a ticket. A dad out rollerblading with his kids, get a ticket.
00:06:27.500
And I'm talking about eight, $900 fines or more. So we're all under house arrest. And most of us
00:06:32.700
aren't living in a 22-room mansion like Trudeau is and his wife and kids living in the government's
00:06:38.480
official country cottage called Harrington Lake. So Trudeau goes on TV and tells us, don't go outside,
00:06:44.780
don't go to the park, don't travel, don't visit other households, just stay put.
00:06:48.460
Go home and stay home. This is what we all need to be doing. And we're going to make sure this
00:06:57.400
happens, whether by educating people more on the risks or by enforcing the rules, if that's needed.
00:07:04.900
So he told us that. And then he immediately, I mean, literally minutes later,
00:07:09.400
broke all those rules himself. He just did. He left his property in Ottawa. He crossed into Quebec
00:07:15.700
and went into Gatineau Park, where that Harrington Lake country home is, which is a violation of a
00:07:22.060
Quebec provincial order against going there because it's in a park. He mixed his household with his
00:07:27.220
wife's household. And just to make sure you saw, Sophie Trudeau posted four pictures of it to
00:07:33.080
Instagram, just making sure you could see her and her glamorous lifestyle. One, two, three government
00:07:39.660
homes they have traveling whenever she pleases. I mean, remember, she flew to London, England.
00:07:44.340
She got the virus there. She gave it to Idris Elba, the British sex symbol. She flew back to Canada.
00:07:50.520
Her husband just broke rules to go see her again. And she wants to let you know you can't hold her
00:07:56.680
down. Even Trudeau himself had the sense not to tweet those photos. But Sophie Trudeau in every way more
00:08:04.660
vain and selfish than her husband. If you can even believe that, how's that even possible?
00:08:10.240
She just had to make you know that the rules apply to the little people, not her, dear.
00:08:18.040
Now, I happen to think the rules are being overdone. I sympathize with people who are chafing under
00:08:22.660
house arrest. I am too. But we're not the people making the rules. Trudeau is a rule maker, and yet
00:08:29.260
he and his family boast about being rule breakers. That's happening a lot, actually. The public health
00:08:35.080
officer in Scotland did the same. She told people to stay at home, don't go to parties, don't travel. But then
00:08:39.460
she went out to party. But unlike Trudeau and his ilk, at least she apologized and resigned.
00:08:45.240
I've already issued a statement this morning apologizing unreservedly for traveling away
00:08:50.280
from my home while restrictions were in place. As well as this weekend, it's important to be clear
00:08:55.760
that I also was there last weekend with my husband. I did not follow the advice I'm giving to others.
00:09:02.200
I'm truly sorry for that. I've seen a lot of the comments from members of the public on Twitter
00:09:07.380
today. People calling me a hypocrite. People telling me about the hardships they've endured
00:09:12.900
while following my guidance. My office has also received emails from members of the public
00:09:18.700
who are making clear to me their disappointment and unhappiness at what I've done. People have told
00:09:24.720
me that I'm irresponsible, that I've behaved as if my advice does not apply to me. I want people to know
00:09:31.480
that I have seen all of that. And I've heard the comment, what I did was wrong. I'm very sorry.
00:09:40.260
Same thing with a senior politician in New Zealand, but not Trudeau. In fact, when a handful of
00:09:45.900
journalists criticized Trudeau for partying in Quebec and then going back to Ottawa, well, the media
00:09:51.800
jumped to his defense. Here's a comment that our friend Candace Malcolm made about Trudeau's hypocrisy.
00:09:57.920
And oh my God, would you look at this? Government journalist after government journalist. And by
00:10:03.140
that, I mean those taking Trudeau's bailout money, jumping to Trudeau's defense like white knights
00:10:08.020
aiding a damsel in distress. They love being Trudeau's errand boy. They know the rules don't
00:10:13.680
apply to Trudeau. They never do. And they're fine with that as long as they can be in his royal court,
00:10:19.880
even as jesters. Yeah, no, not Candace Malcolm and not us and not a handful of independent journalists
00:10:25.840
who were left, but there really is only a handful of us left, isn't there? Stay with us for a moment.
00:10:42.980
Well, the whole world has been distracted, that's an understatement, by the pandemic pandemonium
00:10:49.540
and panic. A lot of other things have been pushed aside or delayed, including the Conservative Party
00:10:55.440
of Canada's leadership race to find a successor for Andrew Scheer, who, by the way, continues to stay
00:11:02.480
on at Stornoway and continues to take the leader of the opposition's salary. I suppose someone has to,
00:11:09.340
if it weren't him, it would fall to someone else. But in this strange interregnum, we don't know
00:11:15.940
exactly when the Conservative Party will choose its new leader. The party elders have decided to
00:11:22.260
put on a sideshow. And we've talked about this before. As you know, we've interviewed a number
00:11:27.380
of the leadership candidates. I have myself, so is Kian Bextie. Oddly enough, Aaron O'Toole and Peter
00:11:33.580
McKay have not kept their promise to meet with us. I'm sure that'll change. But one fellow we've talked
00:11:38.560
to a couple of times is Jim Karahalios. He's known as a carbon tax crusader. That's how I first came to
00:11:45.900
know him. And the Ontario provincial scene. His wife, in fact, is an MPP under Ontario Premier Doug
00:11:53.360
Ford. And Jim, he's always been a bit of a conservative gadfly, but in a good way. I mean,
00:11:59.340
maybe it's because it takes one to know one. And we're troublemakers here, too. So when Karahalios
00:12:04.420
threw his hat into the ring, I was happy to interview him. And I did. To my, I'm not going to say my
00:12:13.340
shock, but to my disappointment. Despite the fact that Karahalios received the thousands of signatures
00:12:22.420
from party members necessary and raised the $300,000 necessary to pay the entry fee, he was kicked
00:12:30.380
out of the race for being mean to another candidate, Aaron O'Toole. And whether or not it was true that
00:12:38.980
he was, he was mean, how on earth is that cause to kick him out? Isn't that cause for Aaron O'Toole to
00:12:47.220
fight back? Isn't that cause for party members to choose whether or not to vote for Karahalios? Well,
00:12:54.300
the party kicked him out and he sued. The party went to court to have his lawsuit thrown out
00:13:01.200
and Jim Karahalios won. And Jim joins us now via Skype. Jim, I have to tell you, we're talking so
00:13:09.600
much. We're not talking about policy issues. We're not talking about beating Justin Trudeau. We're
00:13:15.440
talking about this bizarre internal warfare that the lame duck rump of the conservative party bureaucracy
00:13:25.420
has declared on you. I have to tell you, I'm not interested in this subject by choice. I'm
00:13:31.580
interested in it only because these fools have decided to make this their news story of the
00:13:36.380
summer, their vendetta against you. I have not endorsed you. I like the cut of your jib, to be
00:13:42.500
honest. But whether or not you should be the Tory leader, to me, falls to party members, not to some
00:13:47.540
cabal who wanted to disqualify you. I'm angry. Well, a lot of people are angry, Ezra. And
00:13:54.620
you know, it does impact policy because it's pretty clear that if you're a conservative and
00:14:00.100
you want to run in the conservative party, you can do so unless you want to win. And that's not
00:14:06.400
allowed if you're a conservative and you're trying to win. And when I campaign, you know,
00:14:12.240
I campaign kind of like a Brahma bull. I try to win. And when they come up with arguments and they
00:14:20.860
want to be hard on other candidates, the establishment red Tories, that's supposed to
00:14:25.920
be acceptable. But when they get it back, they don't seem to like it. And they call it mean,
00:14:31.960
they call it nasty. The communication that this entire fiasco is centered around
00:14:38.240
was actually quite benign. I just quoted Aaron O'Toole's campaign chair from an article in the
00:14:44.900
Globe and Mail. I took his words. I didn't make up the words. And they kind of blew a gasket over it.
00:14:51.740
And it was very disappointing, I think, to see, you know, it's one thing if you disqualify someone
00:14:59.720
at the start of a race. And that's, you know, I think you'd agree that's inappropriate.
00:15:06.080
But to do it after I raised the $300,000 and have thousands of people across Canada supporting me,
00:15:14.920
I was surprised. Even during this entire two-week investigation that was going on, I was muzzled.
00:15:21.800
I wasn't able to talk about the investigation after O'Toole's campaign filed the complaint,
00:15:27.780
so they muzzled me. I never thought that they would go to the step of removing me from the race
00:15:34.460
after I had raised the $300,000, $3,000 signatures. And I was the third candidate
00:15:39.740
out of the seven or eight that were in the race back then to get the $300,000.
00:15:47.060
So it's surprising, but the message is clear. Like, you know, you can run as a conservative
00:15:51.420
candidate. You can talk about policies. As long as you don't try to win, it's allowed. You know,
00:15:56.940
if you want to try to finish last, maybe we'll put up with you, but don't try to win.
00:16:00.640
You know, we can't handle that in the Conservative Party of Canada these days. At least the
00:16:05.040
establishment red Tories really don't like that.
00:16:08.840
You know, I mean, I first really heard of you. I mean, I'm an Alberta boy originally,
00:16:13.480
so I'm fairly new to the Ontario PC party. And I know that you had similar battles with them
00:16:21.280
and their palace guard around their former leader, Patrick Brown. And by the way,
00:16:26.760
his Svengali, Waleed Solomon, is now the campaign chairman of Aaron O'Toole. And he is the person
00:16:34.400
that was the subject of your criticism in that email. I saw that email. And you criticized Waleed
00:16:40.640
Solomon for supporting Sharia finance. I think that's a perfectly legit criticism. It's in the
00:16:46.780
public domain. You cited other points of view. I mean, whether or not that's important for
00:16:52.880
Conservative Party voters is up to them. It just seems there were so many layers here. The fact
00:16:57.760
that there's certain things you're not allowed to talk about or certain people you're not allowed
00:17:01.880
to criticize, even inappropriately. I mean, if you're being inappropriate, that's for voters to
00:17:06.780
judge. It just is so odd. But the thing that strikes me, and I was just saying this to our producer
00:17:11.320
before I came in the room here, is I've seen this movie before. You fought this same fight with the
00:17:17.300
Ontario PCs. They took you to court and they lost. It looks like the federal Conservatives won
00:17:26.140
another piece of that action. And I don't understand why.
00:17:32.040
That's a good question. I mean, Patrick Brown is supporting Peter McKay. He's on his team.
00:17:36.380
Waleed Solomon's on Aaron's team. And, you know, Ezra, you were one of the first to
00:17:44.460
have me for an interview in 2017 when Waleed and Patrick Brown thought it was a good idea
00:17:50.980
to sue me to shut down the Axe, the carbon tax campaign and another campaign on vote rigging.
00:17:56.700
They thought that was a really good political move for the party and for conservatism in Ontario.
00:18:04.160
And they thought I'd roll over in court and walk away from the party forever.
00:18:10.520
We fought back and we won when a judge threw it out as an anti-slap.
00:18:15.920
Slap being it was strategic litigation against public participation. It was designed to shut me up.
00:18:22.280
And so when I'm running for leader and I see Patrick Brown on Peter McKay's team and Waleed Solomon,
00:18:27.460
campaign chair for Aaron O'Toole, who was the campaign chair for Patrick Brown,
00:18:31.680
I point out the fact that this is the way these guys think that conservative parties should be run.
00:18:38.880
So if a member speaks out or campaigns against a certain idea, they think that they're entitled
00:18:45.940
to bring hellfire and brimstone on them and the wrath of the party apparatus.
00:18:52.300
And I talk about that. And I also talk about when you're in a leadership race, you talk about the views
00:18:58.280
of the candidates and their high profile people running their campaigns.
00:19:05.980
Here's the thing. You're talking about Aaron O'Toole and his chairman, Waleed Solomon.
00:19:10.780
And Waleed Solomon's a bit litigious. I know he's been slapping people with lawsuits.
00:19:16.860
Well, I mean, he is. And that's, you know, you can criticize.
00:19:19.080
Well, I get called that by the mainstream media and they don't like to talk about the fact that
00:19:22.900
Waleed loves to threaten lawsuits on whoever says anything.
00:19:27.800
He's a lawyer. It's his stock in trade. I mean, we have lawsuits here, too. It's sometimes something
00:19:32.260
that's necessary. But if you're in a political campaign, I mean, here's what gets me.
00:19:37.340
If Waleed really has a defamation case against you, he should see you in defamation.
00:19:41.120
But since he's part of a campaign team, maybe he should grow a thicker skin, because if you're
00:19:46.400
going to sue everyone who attacks you in politics, that's all you'll be doing.
00:19:51.300
And and when Justin Trudeau or the CBC or or anyone else or the Globe and Mail editorial
00:19:57.280
board says something really, really mean and unfair about you in a campaign, you've got
00:20:01.940
to push on and you've got to come up with a witty comeback or you've got to ignore it
00:20:05.960
or you've got to come up with a campaign ad that makes people sympathetic to you.
00:20:09.900
The idea that you can shut down criticism when you've entered the big arena, when you said,
00:20:16.220
I want to be the gladiator that will defeat them all. I want to beat Justin Trudeau.
00:20:20.040
I got the stuff. And then someone writes an email about you and you go crying to money.
00:20:27.400
You write that off as a character flaw or a or a miscalculation by Solomon or Aaron O'Toole.
00:20:33.580
And that's fine. I don't care. But for the party itself to say, we agree, we must disqualify a candidate
00:20:43.060
over this quarrel and then fight him in court. That's what's great. Like if Aaron O'Toole and
00:20:51.300
Waleed Solomon want to sue and complain and whine their way through this, maybe it'll work. I don't
00:20:56.600
know. It seems a little thin skinned and it seems like they're hunting rabbit tracks instead of going
00:21:01.240
after a big game. Frankly, they should be attacking Justin Trudeau. They've made their choice,
00:21:07.000
but the party has chosen to quarrel, to take their side in the quarrel and to take it to public court
00:21:13.860
and make a public spectacle and burn up party money on this. Who the heck is running that place?
00:21:21.900
Is this Andrew Scheer's doing or is this someone else?
00:21:24.240
Well, I have no idea what the current leader's involvement is in the race. I'm sure he'll probably
00:21:30.380
tell you he's not involved at all. But by my count, it's about 11 individuals on the LEOC and the CRO
00:21:36.760
who are somewhat... What's that leadership... Yeah, sorry. So National Council is the elected
00:21:45.020
board of our party and it appointed 20 people, I believe, on a leadership election organizing
00:21:51.720
committee to run this race. And it was chaired by Lisa Raitt and Dan Nolan. Lisa Raitt, obviously,
00:21:59.240
people know her. She was an MP. She was front and center with Peter McKay for Andrew's entire campaign.
00:22:05.340
She was put in charge of this as a co-chair of the campaign. And then they named a chief returning
00:22:12.060
officer to run the election. Individual who's been a government staffer before when the Conservative
00:22:18.460
Party was in power, Derek Vanstone. And they're in charge of running the rules. But I guess they've
00:22:24.660
decided in their grand wisdom that enforcing the rules is telling candidates what they are allowed
00:22:31.900
to talk about, even if the statement I made... So here's the key point, Ezra. They try to make me sound
00:22:39.260
like the maverick or the renegade. But every position I take is 100% on side with party policy.
00:22:48.620
Well, that's actually not the key point, Jim, because you have the right to be wacky. You have
00:22:57.420
the right to be wrong. I mean, Michael Chong, who ran in the last leadership, loved the carbon tax,
00:23:04.140
was really weird on a lot of issues, including electoral reform. Frankly, he's a liberal. But
00:23:12.180
okay, you want to run in the Conservative Party? That's sort of neat, I guess. Proves it's a big
00:23:17.900
tent, brings some more people, brings some excitement. I mean, Michael Chong is not a conservative
00:23:23.200
in my books, but who am I to tell him he can't run? Let the people choose. I sort of like the fact
00:23:29.700
that he run, even though I'm glad he didn't win. And the key point, Jim, is not that you were on party
00:23:36.980
policy. The key point is, even if you weren't, why on earth would you disqualify someone for
00:23:44.500
coloring outside the lines? It's such a small pool of candidates to begin with. I mean, there's only,
00:23:49.940
is there only three other candidates who have qualified, if I'm not mistaken? Leslyn Lewis,
00:23:54.660
and Aaron O'Toole and Peter McKay, is that it? And Derek Sloan. And Derek Sloan, thank you.
00:24:00.820
So it's a very small pool. Why on earth would you winnow it down? And if you're so bloody sure
00:24:08.660
that Jim Carahelios is unacceptable, then why are you not sure enough to let the party members make
00:24:16.460
that choice? I don't get this. I think I'm repeating myself when I'm talking more than you,
00:24:21.260
too, which shows how mad I am about this. Let me get to some facts. I see that
00:24:27.180
because the attempt of the party to throw your lawsuit out failed, this matter will actually be
00:24:33.660
proceeding to trial on May 15th. Is that accurate? That's right. So they brought in a motion to
00:24:42.540
do a couple of things. One of them was just to strike it right out of court and it failed. So
00:24:46.860
the judge came back and set a date, May 15th. And it's an expedited process with full powers for the
00:24:54.300
judge to go through all of the fact-finding things that he will deem necessary to figure out if I broke
00:25:05.500
the rules, did they follow their own rules, and was my disqualification valid? And then the second
00:25:11.820
point I think we talked about before, Ezra, is not only did they disqualify me, they wanted to hold
00:25:18.780
on to over $300,000 in donations. So I raised $330,000 in donations in a few weeks. $200,000 of
00:25:27.900
that was a buy-in. $100,000 was supposed to be a deposit. And then everything over $300,000 was
00:25:33.980
supposed to come back to my campaign to pay expenses. Party staff specifically told me,
00:25:38.620
you know, you can use that deposit, that $100,000 later on when we send it back to you,
00:25:43.900
to pay for outstanding expenses. So they cut me off from raising money a few days before the 25th,
00:25:50.300
and they've held on to the $330,000. And according to the law, I have no ability to pay for those debts
00:25:58.060
because I can't pay for it out of my own pocket or get one donor or a few donors to pay for it because
00:26:04.540
we have caps on contributions. Every dollar you spend in the campaign has to come from individual
00:26:09.820
contributions. So they really leveled like the full weight of their authority here. I'm losing the
00:26:18.860
word here, Ezra, but you know, you could fill it in for me. They disqualify me that they're trying to
00:26:22.860
this judge. That's the crazy thing. I mean, the courts, because of the virus, have basically shut
00:26:28.140
down. So many trials have been canceled or delayed. It's only emergency matters, serious crimes. In fact,
00:26:37.740
some prisoners are even being let out of prison. That's how skeleton crew our courts are. So the
00:26:44.780
fact that a judge thinks this is so important and urgent that he is scheduling your trial date
00:26:50.940
a month from now, that's quite remarkable to me. It shows the gravity that the court is putting on
00:26:56.700
this and the urgency. The fact that the party lost round one against you tells me I wouldn't be betting
00:27:04.780
on their side right now. I mean, the first glance, I know it was only should your case be thrown out.
00:27:10.380
I wouldn't bet on the party right now. But here's what I know for an ironclad fact.
00:27:15.900
In fact, your trial will be covered breathlessly by every conservative hater, by the CBC, by the Toronto
00:27:27.660
Star. And they'll be cheering for the party. They'll be cheering for you. They'll be cheering for this
00:27:33.140
internal civil war. This is the greatest delight that the CBC will have. Tories in chaos, civil war in
00:27:41.740
the Conservative Party. Party blood spills out into the courts. What political party would voluntarily
00:27:48.860
sign up for that humiliation? And by the way, I think they're going to lose. But imagine saying, hey, let's take
00:27:56.320
a quarter million bucks, spend it on lawyers, and fight a guy who has a history of winning, just because we
00:28:01.800
didn't like some email, he said, about one of our political buddies. This is madness. And May 15th is going to be a
00:28:08.640
terrible day for, because even, I mean, I'm, I'm, I like you. I'm sympathetic to you. I think you're
00:28:13.660
going to win. And I want you to win. But imagine the damage this is doing to the conservative. If you
00:28:18.320
can't govern yourself, if you can't govern your own party, you can't govern your own house, no one's
00:28:23.060
going to trust you to govern the whole country. Well, we've had, we've had this, you know, for a few
00:28:28.280
years now in conservative politics in Ontario, specifically, we've had this kind of discourse or this chatter
00:28:37.480
amongst the establishment. Oh, it's all inside baseball. It's okay, if a nomination gets rigged, it's inside
00:28:44.760
baseball. It's okay, if we come down heavy handed on the policy process at convention, it's okay, if there's
00:28:53.140
questions on policy or democratic votes, or if we silence people. And this is what happens after a
00:28:59.900
few years of dismissing all of the process things and clamping down on free speech as inside baseball.
00:29:07.520
This is what happens. And I was put in a position because Aaron O'Toole claims to be a tough guy.
00:29:12.800
Aaron O'Toole claims to be, you know, he's going to hold Justin Trudeau to account. And these are some
00:29:19.080
kind of grandmasters on the McKay and the O'Toole campaign that know how to beat Justin Trudeau.
00:29:24.840
And I send one email and they take it and they broadcast it all over Twitter. They tell the media
00:29:31.400
all about it. They file a complaint to the party. A handful of people on the party side decide, oh,
00:29:37.600
yeah, we're going to make a big stink out of this. And we're going to force Carl Holios to go to court
00:29:42.460
to get on the ballot and get the money that he needs. This is, it's no wonder why we lose to the
00:29:50.540
liberals. It's no wonder. Like why, you know what? You're not the first. Of course, the party kicked
00:29:55.160
out that Quebec MP. I wasn't very familiar with him to carry. Not an MP, but yeah, candidate.
00:30:00.720
Sorry. Thank you. He was a candidate. He expressed some views on, I think it was on gay marriage
00:30:06.180
that are considered too old fashioned and too conservative now. And maybe that's right. And
00:30:11.300
maybe, uh, that's not what the party wants, but for them to say, oh, we're going to disqualify
00:30:16.280
you, uh, because we, some internal group of, uh, 11 people on some alphabet soup committee.
00:30:23.300
I mean, I, I, I tell you, uh, if I wasn't so desperate to get rid of Justin Trudeau, I would
00:30:30.560
say the conservative party deserves to lose the next election. They're certainly auditioning
00:30:35.880
to be the opposition, not the governing party. Jim, keep us posted. Let us know how it goes on
00:30:40.440
May 15th. Um, I don't know what the courts will be like then, but we'll probably send
00:30:44.320
someone if it's an open courtroom, if it's televised in some way on Skype or something,
00:30:52.840
Okay. Well, thanks for having me, Ezra. And, uh, we'll see how it all unfolds. Unfortunately.
00:30:57.920
Yeah. This is just so crazy. If I was the conservative party, I would just say, let's get out of this
00:31:03.540
May 15th event. Let's reinstate Jim. And let's, if he's so, if he's so bad, if he's so odious,
00:31:12.060
let the members trounce him in the vote and prove not only that he's wrong, but the party
00:31:17.900
doesn't like, I mean, why wouldn't you do that? Instead, they're going to shovel a hole.
00:31:22.960
I'd rather be campaigning and I'd rather be talking about the issues facing Canadians today
00:31:27.960
with, uh, COVID and the way we're handling it and the economy on the decline. That's what I'd
00:31:32.700
rather be focusing on. Uh, but they want our party to be focusing on, um, you know, rules and who's
00:31:39.720
allowed to disqualify someone in the heavy hand of whatever individuals think that they are in
00:31:45.480
charge to pick the next leader and the course of the party. And Lisa Ray, she got 3% in the last
00:31:51.080
leadership. Aaron O'Toole got about 10 and they think that the 13% get to govern, uh, the other
00:31:57.740
80 plus percent of the party, 87% of the party. So, uh, it's upside down. And, uh, for the sake of
00:32:04.840
democracy, uh, and for conservatism in this country, uh, I hope it goes, uh, the right way. And I, I owe it
00:32:13.440
to the thousands of people. And I want to say, Ezra, cause a lot of your viewers support me. Uh, I want to
00:32:19.380
say thank you to everyone that supported me to raise that $330,000 in a few short weeks.
00:32:26.020
They counted me out. They said, there was no way we'll let this guy run. There's no way he's going
00:32:29.920
to raise the money. O'Toole's team went crazy on Twitter. He's not going to raise it. And thanks
00:32:34.860
to a lot of your viewers. We did it. And they were shocked. Um, but, but thank you. And thanks
00:32:40.380
Ezra for covering this because the mainstream media will cover it, uh, you know, upside down and,
00:32:45.160
and not get the facts straight. So thanks, Ezra. Yeah. Well, you're welcome. I think you're
00:32:49.220
going to cover your May 15th event just cause they like a car crash. And that's, what's
00:32:53.720
going to happen that day. All right, Jim, we'll keep us posted. We'll see on the 15th
00:32:56.820
of May. Uh, hopefully the party will splash some cold water in his face and get out of
00:33:02.940
this suicide run. If they win or you win, it's bad news for the party. This is really, really
00:33:10.500
dumb. It reminds me of the labor party in the UK and how they've been feasting on themselves
00:33:15.420
to the delight of the conservatives for two years. Incredible. Take care, Jim. We'll talk
00:33:18.660
to you later. Thanks, Ezra. All right. There you have it, Jim Carajalios. I find this so
00:33:24.040
irritating and so perplexing and forgive me for talking more than I listened, but, uh,
00:33:29.020
this is the wrong path, the wrong path. Stay with us more ahead.
00:33:40.980
Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about China blaming black people for the coronavirus.
00:33:45.540
Chris writes, how long until PM Justin Blackface Trudeau speaks out against the undeniable
00:33:50.880
racism against Africans taking place in China? Well, that's a good point. Where's all the
00:33:55.660
woke Black Lives Matter left? Where's the UN? Where's the squad? Yeah, they don't criticize
00:34:02.060
China, do they? Steve writes, China is responsible for the whole thing, period. They need to compensate
00:34:07.820
us for their ignorance and lies. Well, you're not wrong there. I mean, I, I don't know the
00:34:12.760
actual source of the virus. I think there's a lot of evidence pointing to the Wuhan virology
00:34:17.080
labs. Uh, even if it was an accident, um, it came from there, but I'm not even blaming
00:34:22.580
China for that right now. I don't have enough evidence for that. I'm blaming them for covering
00:34:26.640
up the virus, for lying about the virus and for hoovering up medical supplies from around
00:34:31.640
the world while they continued to suppress the truth about the virus so they could corner
00:34:35.940
the market. That's what I think they did wrong. I think sanctions or reparations or some sort
00:34:43.380
of legal remedy or political remedy is in order. I can think of no other place that's done as
00:34:48.380
much damage to the world, uh, other than perhaps the 9-11 attacks since Pearl Harbor.
00:34:55.460
Jill writes, Trudeau loves China. He was asked, what country do you mire the most? And he said,
00:34:59.960
China? Yeah, you know, I was thinking about it. Um, Trump and Trudeau are both obsessed with China
00:35:06.940
in their own ways. Trump has been talking about China for a decade. Um, he was for getting tough
00:35:15.080
with China on trade, for bullying, pulling factories back to America. He was for challenging
00:35:20.680
China's geographical dominance, trying to pull North Korea away. Trump has been at political war with
00:35:29.080
China for four years. You could say he's obsessed with China, but from a America first point of view,
00:35:35.060
Trudeau is obsessed with China too. But from a pro-China point of view, his whole family has been
00:35:42.660
obsessed with China since his old man, Pierre, went and visited Mao Zedong, the world's largest killer
00:35:50.660
in history. Never in the entire history of our planet has anyone killed more people than Mao Zedong,
00:35:58.240
not even Adolf Hitler, not even Genghis Khan, not even Tamerlane. Mao Zedong killed more people than
00:36:05.880
anyone in history. And that is the ideology and the party that Justin Trudeau, his brother Sasha,
00:36:13.000
and his father Pierre all admire. All right, that's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us
00:36:20.540
here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, stay safe and keep fighting for freedom.
