00:00:00.000 We need to talk about Ezra Levant and Rebel News.
00:00:02.800 Ezra is the leader of Rebel News, one of the largest right-wing media platforms here in Canada.
00:00:07.700 Their slogan is to tell the other side of the story.
00:00:10.320 Here's the problem.
00:00:11.260 Ever since the trucker convoy, I don't think they've ever criticized Pierre Polyev
00:00:15.080 and his silence on many important issues to right-wingers.
00:00:18.700 And they've also hardly ever talked about Jeremy McKenzie and Diagelon.
00:00:23.840 The emergency is out.
00:00:25.520 Diagelon?
00:00:26.180 Diagelon.
00:00:27.080 Diagelon.
00:00:28.020 Diagelon.
00:00:28.660 Diagelon.
00:00:29.280 Diagelon.
00:00:29.740 They haven't talked about Jeremy McKenzie's trumped up political charges,
00:00:32.740 but they did talk about his debanking when it went viral.
00:00:36.280 The thing is, yesterday on Monday, when Jeremy McKenzie had one of his charges withdrawn,
00:00:42.340 and in many ways he was vindicated in the eyes of the public,
00:00:45.820 instead of coming to Jeremy's defensers to celebrate this win for Jeremy,
00:00:49.560 Ezra Levant tweeted, he's a Fed.
00:00:52.340 Implying that Jeremy McKenzie is working with the Feds, I guess,
00:00:56.500 he didn't provide any evidence.
00:00:58.240 Aside from this being a terrible display of journalism, not even showing any facts or
00:01:03.760 showing your work, this is a very bad sign for Rebel News and Ezra Levant potentially
00:01:08.260 being subversive in general.
00:01:09.780 There's a lot to talk about on Controlled Opposition tonight, so let's get into it right
00:01:13.840 now.
00:01:14.280 I promise you, I will not let you down.
00:01:17.460 The trucks parked outside illegally should move.
00:01:21.680 Canada's conservatives will meet our Paris climate commitment. 0.88
00:01:25.200 Enough with the woke s**t. 0.69
00:01:27.200 So, Mr. Speaker, I take that back. 0.84
00:01:29.140 To champion our conservative principles.
00:01:31.380 We are the party of law and order.
00:01:33.260 To call in the auditors.
00:01:34.580 We haven't yet decided whether we're going to call for the government to impose a mandatory test or vaccination.
00:01:40.860 And we will win the next election.
00:01:43.160 Canada must not ignore the reality of climate change.
00:02:06.040 Why weren't Canadians vaccinated in January and February like everyone else?
00:02:09.880 welcome everybody to controlled opposition it is episode 24 i'm your host greg wycliffe it is
00:02:29.500 it is fantastic to be here uh you know it was kind of an emergency episode of controlled
00:02:34.400 opposition tonight usually do it on thursday tonight is a tuesday and i thought you know what
00:02:39.200 But something needs to be said about this as soon as soon as possible, as soon as possible.
00:02:45.220 You know, I'm not going to put up with bullies in the right wing.
00:02:49.480 I'm not going to put up with behavior that is just like uncalled for.
00:02:53.400 And it's very congruent with the theme of the show, which is controlled opposition, which is this idea that there are subversive people in Canada who pretend to be our friend who actually might not be fighting for us.
00:03:05.020 Of course, we've covered this a lot on the show when it comes to Pierre Polyev and the Conservative Party.
00:03:10.160 And honestly, it makes my job with this show very easy because there are so many examples of Mr. Pierre Polyev saying that he's going to fight for conservative values and then doing absolutely, absolutely nothing about it.
00:03:22.840 And in the past before, we have had some things to say about Rebel News attacking Jeremy in the past.
00:03:28.680 We're going to talk about those clips tonight.
00:03:30.460 And also along with that, we're going to be covering, of course, the tweet that happened yesterday, where Ezra Levant said he's a Fed, referring to Jeremy McKenzie.
00:03:41.620 So we're going to talk about that tweet that appeared yesterday.
00:03:45.400 Really, really bad sign.
00:03:46.800 Like, honestly, such a bad sign.
00:03:49.980 Some people say, hey, Greg, maybe he's just kidding.
00:03:52.780 And I'll get into that, why that doesn't even matter if he is kidding.
00:03:55.580 It's a bad sign either way.
00:03:57.020 We're going to be talking about, you know, the history of what Ezra has done in the past
00:04:02.660 or what Rebel News has done in the past, and also Jeremy McKenzie has done in the past as a dissonant.
00:04:09.860 I mean, really, the goal of this show tonight is to figure out what the hell's going on here, okay?
00:04:15.920 Like, we have the self-proclaimed Rebel News, all about being a rebel, right?
00:04:19.560 You know, the other side of the story, and yet they are vilifying one of the number one rebels in the country,
00:04:25.260 uh uh jeremy mckenzie you know like what what the heck is going on here anyway so let's get into
00:04:31.620 this you've probably already seen it um it's just it's just crazy guys it's just crazy you know
00:04:38.780 it's crazy so we'll start with karima's tweet here karima tweeted this on monday uh karima is
00:04:45.540 a lawyer for those who don't know she does many other things politics related but she's into law
00:04:53.000 She studies law.
00:04:54.640 And broadly, with the political prosecution of Jeremy McKenzie, I can't speak for Karima
00:05:01.860 here, but from my perspective, Karima took great interest in what was happening to Jeremy
00:05:06.440 McKenzie, even though Karima may not have agreed with everything that Jeremy does or
00:05:11.440 did or says.
00:05:12.680 She thought, huh, let's look into these political charges that Jeremy's receiving.
00:05:17.140 And well, she wrote an article about it, but she's also been breaking some of the news
00:05:20.680 as she's been following it very closely,
00:05:23.320 in some cases, live tweeting in some of the courtrooms.
00:05:26.520 But she tweeted this on Monday,
00:05:28.020 breaking careless use of firearm charges
00:05:30.760 against Jeremy McKenzie have been withdrawn.
00:05:33.580 Jeremy McKenzie entered into a common law peace bound.
00:05:36.640 Now, I'm not Viva Fry,
00:05:38.040 so I'm not super into the legalities of things,
00:05:42.080 but this is a huge win.
00:05:43.720 This is a huge win for Jeremy
00:05:45.820 because this charge was withdrawn.
00:05:48.980 Now, for those who don't remember,
00:05:50.400 because it's been quite a long saga now this was the very first charge that came up against
00:05:56.000 jeremy mckenzie it was related to firearms and this was the the inception of jeremy being a
00:06:01.980 villain in the eyes of the canadian public in the eyes of the canadian right wing in the eyes
00:06:06.480 of everybody that they had this charge of oh firearms reckless um whatever it is with a with 0.97
00:06:13.100 a firearm you know he must be some crazy right winger he must be some crazy right winger and 0.53
00:06:18.240 you know how that we know how the media operates we know how the mainstream media operates we take 0.91
00:06:23.200 this charge and say hey this is this is um this is the entire character of jeremy he's just some
00:06:29.320 guy who who uh who has firearms and he's crazy but it got withdrawn so this whole inception this
00:06:36.240 whole seed that in in the popular news media of jeremy being this villain has been withdrawn
00:06:42.640 This is the beginning of the vindication of Jeremy McKenzie.
00:06:46.760 And this is a huge deal because he is known as, in the mainstream media, as a villain.
00:06:51.760 Like literally, literally as a terrorist.
00:06:54.160 And actually, I'll just jump to it.
00:06:56.280 This is a clip of Sheila Gunn-Reed from Rebel News kind of explaining, kind of describing Jeremy in so many terms.
00:07:05.420 But here we go.
00:07:06.360 Now, to be clear, I don't personally know him whatsoever at all.
00:07:09.980 And what I do know about him, I'm frankly not all that impressed with.
00:07:14.180 I think he's a deeply troubled character who doesn't do himself or the people around him any real favors.
00:07:21.000 And because of that, he is in an absolute world of hurt and trouble.
00:07:25.600 But none of that changes the fact that McKenzie should be able to use a bank in this country the way convicted terrorists and rapists can use them.
00:07:34.540 And he's been ordered to stay away from booze.
00:07:36.920 And I think that's probably a really great idea.
00:07:39.980 domestic assault, rape, child sex offenses, and still use a bank in this country. You can even
00:07:46.460 be an outspoken, vulgar, crass individual with mental health and addiction struggles
00:07:50.400 and still use a bank account in this country. Wow. So she just lays on, lays on all of these 0.99
00:07:58.800 other charges that Jeremy has gotten saying, um, you know, the assault, assuming it's real,
00:08:04.860 implying it's real you know smearing his character like this is the stuff that the the liberal media
00:08:10.720 the left-wing media the mainstream media was doing which is like oh he had this firearms charge he
00:08:15.220 had this firearms charge he must be a villain and that has now been withdrawn yet here's rebel news
00:08:20.400 kind of taking these charges and saying oh no it's that this is what defines his character this is
00:08:25.400 totally what defines his character and this is super relevant um to the coots guys as well i'm 0.76
00:08:31.920 going to play the clip from um from mr ezra levant uh talking about the coots guys because 0.65
00:08:39.720 um there's also an important point here as well because essentially i'll just play the clip
00:08:44.980 um this is actually really funny at the beginning but uh the point i'm getting at here is essentially
00:08:52.500 what ezra is about to say is hey the reason we didn't support the the coots guys is because 0.98
00:08:58.540 well they they had more intense criminal charges that didn't have to do they didn't have to do
00:09:04.780 with uh with just civil liberties violations they didn't have to do with civil liberties
00:09:10.440 liberties violations and that is like very very problematic because it's like well uh ezra what
00:09:17.080 if these are you know politically motivated charges that are completely unjustified and
00:09:22.900 this person is being picked on because of their political beliefs it's like well as long as it's
00:09:27.460 not a civil liberties violation we can't help that person so like the in other words uh the real
00:09:32.640 dissidents like the real people who are really getting picked on uh you know apparently rebel
00:09:37.420 news cannot support but we'll play the clip here so you can see what i'm talking about this uh this
00:09:41.880 was filmed today i think outside of the lethbridge courtroom uh of the coots boys shout out to the 0.98
00:09:46.960 coots four but uh the beginning of this is very funny the trial is almost a year away but i'll
00:09:53.840 Come out and I'll let you know what I see.
00:09:56.100 And then I'll give you my thoughts as best I can
00:09:57.940 without stepping on the publication ban of what I think.
00:10:01.640 I'm so glad Liberalite Media made it.
00:10:04.680 Good job, buddy.
00:10:05.660 You can see that there are some people here who are...
00:10:08.700 The Liberalite Media made it.
00:10:11.140 Looks like a beauty, by the way.
00:10:12.740 That guy looks like an absolute beauty.
00:10:14.200 Shout-outs to that guy.
00:10:15.760 Upset that Rebel News is not championing these four men.
00:10:21.000 I've had a few encounters like that.
00:10:22.980 someone who by whoa whoa whoa what's that symbol he seems to have some sort of symbol on his hat
00:10:29.400 can you guys see that very interesting anyway let's continue like that someone who by the looks
00:10:35.400 of him would probably be a rebel news supporter and probably was until recently they don't
00:10:40.340 understand why we're not crowdfunding for these men and in some ways i can't tell you that because
00:10:45.540 of the publication ban what i can tell you is that the money raised by both rebel news and the
00:10:50.880 Democracy Fund was to defend people for civil liberties offenses, people who committed civil
00:10:57.540 disobedience. As you may know, because you may be a donor yourself, we did not crowdfund to defend
00:11:03.540 people accused of conspiracy to commit murder. Now, there is a crowdfunding page not run by us
00:11:10.640 that if you want to give to these four men, you can certainly do so. And I'm not here to tell you
00:11:15.120 to do so or not to do so. But I can explain that neither Rebel News or the Democracy Fund
00:11:20.300 we'll take our donors money for men who are charged with conspiracy to commit murder so here
00:11:28.780 we have once again the you know the charges that have been levied from uh the state of like okay
00:11:35.960 like these men like it's it's almost like the way in which Ezra is is sharing this is like yes these
00:11:42.300 accusations are super legitimate these these accusations during during the trucker convoy
00:11:46.720 of all times are like super legitimate accusations whereas when we're seeing a political accusation
00:11:52.440 against Jeremy McKenzie for example it's been withdrawn you know and I would love to bring up
00:11:58.400 the example a couple episodes before I had Morgan May on the show and she has she was charged with
00:12:04.520 gas theft she was she was thrown in jail for gas theft and again that's not a civil liberties
00:12:11.060 violation that that is that is theft I don't know what the specific charge was for Morgan but she 1.00
00:12:15.700 was thrown in jail because of that. That's never happened, by the way, turns out. Someone did a
00:12:20.660 freedom of information request, and that has never happened. So, you know, stealing gas
00:12:26.600 is not a civil liberties violation. So Rebel News would not, you know, crowdsource money to support
00:12:33.960 someone like Morgan May, for example, even though it's a very fishy, it's a very smelly, smelly,
00:12:39.240 smelly situation. And back to this initial tweet with Karima covering Jeremy, there is a lot of
00:12:46.820 fishy stuff going on. There's a lot of very fishy stuff going on. She wrote a great article about
00:12:52.900 it in Cryer Media today, the prosecution of Jeremy McKenzie, peace bonds and possible political
00:12:59.300 interference. And really, once again, shout out to Karima for putting an interest in this and
00:13:04.500 actually broadcasting it and telling the story, telling the other side of the story, you might
00:13:08.620 say you know and what's really baffling about this is Ezra Levant if I'm not mistaken is very
00:13:14.960 very you know knowledgeable and wise when it comes to litigation and the law and you know
00:13:21.660 whether it's suing people people suing him I'm sure he's very very privy to this sort of law stuff
00:13:25.540 so why would he not take an interest in Jeremy McKenzie's cases you know why would he why would
00:13:31.680 he take an interest uh why would he not take an interest and instead he's just going to say
00:13:35.640 something like he's a fed right like that's very very uh suspicious but just to get into like you
00:13:40.620 know a quick excerpt from this article from karima uh an independent freedom of information
00:13:46.460 protection of privacy uh search revealed documents that were never shared during the disclosure
00:13:50.680 process even after multiple requests on behalf of the accused in fact their existence was denied by
00:13:56.360 the authorities this is a big deal it shows that the crown did not share important information with
00:14:02.480 mckenzie even though he asked for it this is potentially corrupt this is potentially you
00:14:09.980 know malfeasance this is potentially uh whether it's the judiciary whether it's the law enforcement
00:14:15.740 whether it is the you know uh people in government positions this is uh potentially incompetence
00:14:21.280 potentially corruption this is a story that rebel news would want to cover is it not does rebel news
00:14:29.400 not want to cover uh you know the the corruption going on and and the fishy behavior going on with
00:14:35.140 political distance with difference um you know people being politically prosecuted with political
00:14:41.240 prisoners obviously this is something they would want to cover so it's baffling why why is uh why
00:14:49.140 is not only Ezra Levant and Rebel News not following Jeremy's vindication in this case
00:14:56.300 but um they're they're doing the complete opposites where they're saying he's he's a fed
00:15:01.100 he's a fed and you know some people might say hey greg maybe he's just kidding he's just kidding
00:15:06.580 you guys he's just kidding um he should clarify that okay he should clarify that Ezra Levant has
00:15:15.500 over 400,000 followers on twitter okay that's a that's a big platform and he's actually done
00:15:21.860 this before in terms of accusing people of being feds but it's uh it really is despicable behavior
00:15:28.540 in my in my opinion it's it's really disgusting disgusting behavior um i you know i'm not going 0.58
00:15:34.980 to do do this justice but you know jimmy mckenzie is a canadian veteran okay he is a combat veteran
00:15:42.400 and for those who know know what i mean when i say that he's a combat veteran who fought in
00:15:47.160 Afghanistan he had friends around him die okay he came back home to Canada and he slowly but surely 0.94
00:15:54.380 started to realize you know what things are things there's a lot of enemies here within Canada who
00:15:58.600 are pretending to run our country and are just running it into the ground and specifically he 1.00
00:16:04.640 spoke out and fought for Canada again with his words by calling out the Omar Khadr situation 0.99
00:16:11.080 this was one of Jeremy's first viral clips calling out the Omar Khadr situation this is bullshit 0.98
00:16:16.840 I guess I'm the bad guy now.
00:16:18.560 Very iconic, very powerful speech from Jeremy McKenzie,
00:16:22.540 which I believe was retweeted by either Ezra Levant or Rebel News.
00:16:26.180 So they were happy to kind of use that content to promote their brand,
00:16:30.940 to promote their business, to use Jeremy's passion, anger, frustration,
00:16:36.900 like fighting for his soul, fighting against the intense demoralization
00:16:42.860 that veterans feel in this country
00:16:45.220 for feeling so abandoned by their institutions.
00:16:49.160 Ezra was happy to capture that moment,
00:16:52.080 or Rebel News was happy to capture that moment
00:16:54.020 and retweet it and use it to get their followers excited
00:16:58.160 and to probably push them to a fundraiser.
00:17:02.320 But then down the road, push comes to shove.
00:17:04.240 Oh yeah, he's a fed.
00:17:05.440 And that's not it.
00:17:06.560 That's not it.
00:17:07.020 That was just one of the first speeches
00:17:09.520 from Jeremy McKenzie that went viral.
00:17:11.980 There was also Jeremy McKenzie's speech or viral video after the Porta Peak massacre,
00:17:18.140 after the Nova Scotia shooting, the largest shooting in our history.
00:17:22.400 And to this day, telling the other side of the story, there's a lot of unanswered questions
00:17:27.340 with this story.
00:17:28.800 You want to potentially accuse people of being a Fed.
00:17:32.580 How about the person who carried out this shooting, who made his own RCMP card?
00:17:41.040 that's pretty interesting would like some follow-up questions on that one i don't know i don't know
00:17:45.360 why rebel news didn't you know drop that story and if i'm not mistaken is there not a lot of
00:17:49.540 fishy behavior with uh there being a transaction of money uh with with the shooter in question
00:17:56.520 you know like that is if you want to talk about potential people potentially being feds
00:18:01.060 then that's a great story the nova scotia shooting and guess what jeremy mckenzie talked all about
00:18:07.080 that in this video. He, he ranted, uh, you know, if you remember the video, it was him like on a,
00:18:11.680 on a Saskatchewan, like, like dirt road, basically kind of just venting all of his questions about
00:18:16.620 how fishy the situation was. And I, and I hope this is all right to say, if I'm not mistaken,
00:18:20.960 soon after that video went viral, it got taken down in many places because he was asking a lot
00:18:25.700 of good questions, like a good political dissident does right. Um, asking a lot of good questions.
00:18:31.720 he was jeremy mckenzie if i'm not mistaken was soon put on a person of interest list by the rcmp
00:18:39.440 of like hey this this uh jeremy mckenzie guy this just ginger veteran guy is really making us look
00:18:44.340 bad we better keep our eyes on him and once again the rcmp already starting to track a political
00:18:51.940 dissident because they don't like what he's saying this seems like the other side of the story
00:18:56.560 mr levant this this is the this is an exciting thing this is a political dissident who's already
00:19:01.280 being picked on by the RCMP and being given a tough time. And while, I mean, while we're on
00:19:08.600 the topic, let's go to this Rebel News article. Okay. Cause this is, this is a good one right 0.73
00:19:14.660 here. The people need to, people need to be reminded of this and for the people know, they
00:19:19.460 know this is during the trucker convoy, February 19th, rebelnews.com leaked RCMP messages. Time
00:19:27.040 for the protesters to hear our jackboots on the ground what a scoop what a scoop for those who
00:19:34.500 don't remember rcmp currently in ottawa to assist in the crackdown on peaceful protesters allegedly
00:19:39.080 brag about using brutal force in a leaked group chat this is a great scoop rebel news really got
00:19:43.980 to say and if you scroll down you'll see these screenshots well wow look at these screenshots
00:19:49.240 and there's a nice rebel news watermark on the screenshot what wow what a scoop great job great
00:19:55.860 great job rebel is amazing amazing how did they get these how did they get these text messages
00:20:01.100 that's a whole other story because they got the text messages from jeremy mckenzie none other
00:20:07.180 than jeremy mckenzie the leaker whoever this brave leaker was trusted jeremy mckenzie the canadian
00:20:17.120 veteran the canadian popular podcaster who hosts the rage cast and said hey man to do what you
00:20:25.120 will with these screenshots. And Jeremy McKenzie did the right thing and just posted them on his
00:20:31.100 telegram and said, Hey, this should probably, people should probably know about this. People
00:20:35.500 should probably know about this. Jeremy didn't set up any, uh, any fundraisers, uh, that I'm
00:20:40.100 aware of. He didn't set up any, any websites or URLs that I'm aware of. I'm pretty sure he just
00:20:44.240 did the right thing. Didn't, didn't put, didn't put any watermarks on it. Just, uh, just posted
00:20:48.420 them just posted them and um i don't know what the timing was but soon after sure enough this
00:20:56.420 article comes out from rebel news with rebel news watermarks on the screenshots you know
00:21:02.960 you got to do what you got to do uh for rebel news like they are a business and we're going to
00:21:08.580 talk about that more but it's uh it is pretty shameful that you're going to take a scoop like
00:21:13.740 you're going to take a scoop like this from jeremy mckenzie and then also vilify him uh later on
00:21:21.700 you know and you're going to take you're going to take a speech from jeremy mckenzie where he's
00:21:27.500 passionately speaking about how frustrated he is with the omar cotter situation you're going to 0.99
00:21:32.740 use that to help your brand help your business but then later on you're actually going to shit 1.00
00:21:36.600 on this guy you're going to shit you're going to call him a fed right that's it sucks man that 0.99
00:21:41.100 And, like, this is, like, seriously, like, if we're talking about personal relationships, like, this is really shitty behavior, man. 1.00
00:21:47.860 Like, can you imagine if a friend did this to you in, like, a similar situation? 0.91
00:21:52.440 It's very, very shitty.
00:21:55.580 And back to this, back to this kind of, like, this main tweet here. 0.97
00:22:00.600 Being called, you know, someone like Jeremy McKenzie or even myself, anyone who's right wing, anyone who has chosen to speak up about anything in this country.
00:22:11.100 that opposes the establishment, we are used to being called names.
00:22:15.680 We're used to the establishment media saying, you're racist. 0.90
00:22:19.940 You're homophobic. 0.99
00:22:21.140 You're transphobic. 1.00
00:22:22.380 You're anti-Semitic. 0.97
00:22:23.640 Whatever it is, these labels.
00:22:25.620 What do these labels serve to do?
00:22:27.260 These labels serve to dismiss the person, dehumanize the person.
00:22:32.960 It's a very quick way of saying, I don't care what you've done.
00:22:36.120 I don't care what you've said.
00:22:38.340 I don't care what your intentions are.
00:22:40.160 I don't care anything that that you have to say you're just a bad person get out you're like
00:22:45.440 like everything about this person should be should be dismissed that's what those labels serve
00:22:54.400 and the thing is that's coming from the left wing that's coming from the mainstream media
00:22:58.780 saying he's a fed serves the exact same purpose it serves the exact same purpose
00:23:09.420 he's a fed yo he's a fed dismiss him disregard everything he says he has bad intentions it is
00:23:17.500 it is it is super disappointing because this is supposed to be rebel news right this is supposed
00:23:23.320 to be people on our side who are who are fighting with the dissidents who are who are you know
00:23:29.680 holding each other up and protecting each other and stopping the corruption but for some reason
00:23:35.580 with this scenario with Rebel News or with Ezra Levant and Jeremy, for Jeremy's, you
00:23:44.220 know, charges, political charges that he's dealing with, apparently Ezra does not care
00:23:49.280 about the details whatsoever, and he's just going to say, hey bro, I think you're a fed
00:23:54.120 bro.
00:23:54.920 And the ferryman brought up a great point in the replies, because I guess the logic would
00:23:59.620 be that, oh, okay, so the charges have been withdrawn, therefore, because the charges
00:24:05.540 were withdrawn therefore he's got to be a fed right which which is i'm sorry like very neanderthal
00:24:12.020 thinking that's very that's very like neanderthal thinking if it's that simple but ferryman points
00:24:17.860 out uh the uh the ferryman's toll randy hillier and derrick sloan had charges against them dropped
00:24:24.080 according to rebel news that's all the evidence you need to conclude that they must be informants
00:24:28.120 or feds you're not stupid ezra you're a bad faith actor so he pointed out the fact that ezra reported 0.78
00:24:34.060 or rebel news rather reported on lockdown, um, lockdown charges against Derek Sloan and Randy 0.98
00:24:40.240 Hillier dropped. Lawyer explains the case. So that was, uh, that was just, um, Oh wow. That
00:24:46.980 wasn't even that long ago. That was, that was only like, uh, really only 10 days ago. So, you know,
00:24:52.400 are, are, are they feds? Is that what that means? Ezra? Like, like just by the same logic, right?
00:24:56.960 by the same logic uh that's what that is and um yeah i'll i'll bring up i don't know who this
00:25:05.980 why a claypool person is but in the replies he said i like how as soon as ezra said this
00:25:11.120 half of jeremy's fans just exposed themselves as anti-semites and uh neocon right so this is what
00:25:19.880 neocons do this is this is what um you know right-wing people do to people who they don't
00:25:26.180 like, who are further right than them. This is what something that Pierre Polyev would do. He
00:25:31.540 would say, oh yes, they're all just anti-Semites, right? They're all just feds. They're all just 0.79
00:25:36.180 anti-Semites. This is what the so-called right wing does to people they don't like, to people
00:25:40.980 that they want to cancel. Okay. And if you've been watching the show, you can see how this is,
00:25:45.880 this is kind of a pattern we've seen with Pierre Polyev. He called Christine Anderson, a vile
00:25:51.740 racist christine anderson called justin trudeau a disgrace to democracy but because of something 0.87
00:25:59.440 christ something else christine anderson said we're not about we're not allowed to be tough
00:26:03.400 against uh against justin trudeau we have to um you know we have to cower and say no she's a
00:26:09.400 vile racist this is this is just this is just like you know terrible terrible it's terrible
00:26:17.100 to see that right-wing people don't um realize that they're still kind of liberals like they're 0.84
00:26:24.380 still doing the same thing they're still doing the same thing of canceling people for like calling
00:26:28.720 them names oh that person's a fed that's that person's this but um yeah i am gonna play uh just
00:26:34.760 another clip here i cover this on episode four 20 episodes ago of controlled opposition but um
00:26:41.680 essentially to give you guys a reminder what was happening uh is jeremy got debanked
00:26:49.400 jeremy got debanked and then rebel news decided to cover it they decided to cover it because it
00:26:55.080 was going viral it's actually it was one of my most viewed uh videos on my youtube channel is
00:27:00.220 the phone call of jeremy talking to the person at scotia bank and him having it explained to him
00:27:07.340 that he has been debanked right and when this clip went viral then rebel news jumped on it and said
00:27:12.820 okay like we'll talk about this person um being debanked and uh the way in which uh sheila gun
00:27:22.200 reed covered this story was really once again despicable just as bad i would say or worse uh
00:27:30.920 than the liberal media and i already played one of the clips but we'll play another one here
00:27:36.520 And I'm going to take a pretty even-handed approach here
00:27:40.400 because Mackenzie is a Canadian veteran,
00:27:42.660 and I think he's dealing with some of the psychological fallout
00:27:47.480 and trauma related to serving for 13 or 14 years.
00:27:51.360 And I think that's why Mackenzie does many of the things he does
00:27:54.320 and says many of the things he says.
00:27:56.300 I don't know if Mackenzie's sober now,
00:27:58.900 but I think alcohol played a big role in some of his bad behaviour,
00:28:02.740 frankly, much of his bad behaviour.
00:28:04.480 some people watching that might say oh greg that's that's not that bad that's not that bad
00:28:11.140 that is bad that is that is like the definition of being subversive that's the definition of
00:28:16.320 being passive aggressive that's the exact same thing that the media does to right-wingers do
00:28:21.760 you think the the media goes on and says oh like greg wycliffe right-wingers they're all racist 0.94
00:28:29.340 neo-nazis they're violent terrorists they don't say that they say something like oh well you know 0.65
00:28:35.840 a lot of these right wingers tend to have ties to things that have to do with extremism which 0.84
00:28:42.220 might be a little bit problematic you know right wingers seem to have this tendency uh to to be
00:28:48.060 right it's not directly attacking their character but it's this sort of passive aggressive subversive
00:28:54.500 thing and the viewer takes away oh my god they're nazis oh my god they're terrible and in that case 0.85
00:29:01.140 with uh sheila gun reid from rebel news they take away oh my god jeremy must be like some drunk 0.94
00:29:06.040 crazy veteran that's the message that rebel news sent their viewers about jeremy mckenzie after he
00:29:15.440 got debanked that was a that was a real i mean that's gross and this is exactly you know cue the
00:29:22.400 where's the clip of uh of justin trudeau telling uh brock i forgot his last name telling the
00:29:28.420 veteran though like you know you're asking for more than we're able to give right now it's the
00:29:31.700 same level of disgust where it's like hey we're rebel news we're gonna stand up for for freedom
00:29:36.060 fighters for veterans for for right-wing canadians and oh this super popular dissident yeah this 0.85
00:29:42.040 super popular dissident guy whose content we've used before he's basically this drunk crazy 0.64
00:29:47.640 veteran anyway i really hope he gets help it's gross man it's it's totally gross it's totally 0.94
00:29:53.420 shameful it's totally dishonorable it's it's all of the things that we don't like about liberal
00:29:57.920 media it's all the things we don't like about the liberal establishment keyword establishment
00:30:02.940 and while we're on the topic i gotta point out has ezra levant ever or anyone at rebel news
00:30:10.580 criticized pierre polyev since he's since he's been leading the conservative party since the
00:30:17.340 trucker convoy there's a lot to get to criticize this guy about i mean i could probably look it up
00:30:22.980 right now actually the amount of times that rebel news let's actually this might be fun let's do
00:30:28.580 this let's look up the amount of times um rebel news has talked about mass migration
00:30:36.920 i mean quite a few times quite a few times let's bring it up here mass immigration
00:30:46.120 oh man yeah there's like there's like 38 pages here
00:30:51.720 i wonder how far back it goes
00:30:55.080 and if you're a right winger obviously mass migration is concern of yours
00:31:00.600 obviously mass migration is concern of yours
00:31:03.420 canada needs immigrants who share our values
00:31:08.460 it's all about ideas guys it's all about ideas
00:31:14.880 anyway my of course my point is is that uh you know mass migration is a concern that right-wingers
00:31:21.400 have okay and Pierre Polyev does not even oppose mass migration and there's a there's a whole like
00:31:29.320 very interesting like interplay here between the conservative party of Canada you have the
00:31:36.180 conservative party of Canada up here and then you have the people down here okay you have all the
00:31:40.380 people down here who want to be conservative. They're freedom fighters. They want to get
00:31:45.320 Trudeau out. They want to stop the country from succumbing to globalism. All these people down
00:31:51.320 here want change. They want the corruption out. They want to save their country from all these
00:31:55.420 UN sustainable development goals and all that. And then you have the conservative party up here
00:32:00.460 who's not doing that. They're not doing that. They might say a few things about the World
00:32:07.600 economic forum here and there they might say if some lip service of like we're going to fight for
00:32:11.320 your freedom we're going to stop the woke right but they don't do that and the thing is in between
00:32:16.600 the people and the conservative party you have this little layer this insulation layer you got
00:32:22.000 this nice little layer of insulation and in this insulation you have right-wing influencers you
00:32:28.880 have people like rebel news or true north or even someone like um even someone like billboard chris
00:32:36.220 or uh josh alexander but the thing is they like they are saying these billboard chris and josh
00:32:44.280 alexander are criticizing the conservative party right so that's so that's not good for the
00:32:50.140 conservative party they're not even going to like you know have any relationship but there's a bunch
00:32:53.380 of other people in here in this insulation layer rebel news included where they might talk about
00:32:57.540 billboard chris and they'll say yeah like like we love billboard chris and yeah we're gonna we're
00:33:02.520 going to help josh alexander and and yeah we're going to help uh someone like archer provlowski
00:33:08.040 you know they're saying all these things they're saying we're going to stop the woke they're saying
00:33:12.320 that we are going to uh you know talk about these vaccines we're going to talk about mass migration
00:33:17.920 we're going to talk about all these horrible things that have gone on but and the people and
00:33:24.060 by the way the people at the bottom the bottom layer they love that they eat it up they love it
00:33:28.220 when the insulation layer talks about all this but guess what the people at the top get away with
00:33:33.580 not talking about these things they get away with not fighting for these things in the media in the
00:33:37.900 house of commons they get away with not doing their job so it's interesting how there's like
00:33:42.700 this little insulation layer of platforms like rebel news or other you know so-called right-wing
00:33:47.680 influencers who are not talking about these things or sorry sorry who are talking about these things
00:33:53.400 but don't actually push up the pressure.
00:33:55.660 They don't push up the pressure
00:33:57.020 to the conservative party with these politicians.
00:33:59.420 They almost protect them.
00:34:00.760 They protect them from insulation
00:34:01.960 and they do this sort of sleight of hand
00:34:03.800 where it's like, yes, you support Rebel News
00:34:06.800 because we talk about the transgender issue.
00:34:09.060 We don't criticize Pierre Polyev.
00:34:11.680 Therefore, it's like the same thing, right?
00:34:14.760 Basically, Pierre Polyev opposes the transgender issue
00:34:17.360 even though he doesn't say anything
00:34:18.480 because he's nice with Rebel News.
00:34:20.840 it's kind of a, that was kind of a convoluted way of explaining it. But, you know, there is a very
00:34:26.780 interesting sort of interplay here that's going on. Explaining subversion is not easy on purpose.
00:34:33.880 Okay. You know, there's a reason why it's subversion. It's because it's, it's tricky.
00:34:37.880 It's sneaky. It's unclear. It's, uh, it's all about deceiving people, right? It's all about
00:34:43.060 the sort of the false opposition,
00:34:47.600 the false hero.
00:34:51.020 Actually, this is kind of funny.
00:34:52.580 We were just talking about mass migration.
00:34:54.040 I'll bring this up.
00:34:57.860 This is Rebel News.
00:34:59.860 Dutch Prime Minister resigns
00:35:01.220 as coalition government collapses over mass migration.
00:35:05.000 Right?
00:35:05.740 And just what I think is funny here
00:35:07.280 is that it's like,
00:35:08.400 we're going to talk about the troubles of mass migration.
00:35:10.740 in the netherlands you know what what about uh what about the mass migration in canada you know
00:35:17.540 um come on but um speaking of things going outside of canada uh and because we're talking
00:35:26.200 about ezra levant i just i just need i just need to point out something that that really
00:35:30.500 really really irritated me uh the other day because
00:35:34.500 when it comes to the idea of controlled opposition, I'm trying to find the best way
00:35:42.140 to explain it. I'm trying to find the best way to have people identify it. And I came up with
00:35:49.140 this concept of, you know, what is the outcome? What is the result? To use the biblical analogy,
00:35:56.380 it's what kind of fruit are these people bearing or this group or this platform or this organization?
00:36:03.400 What is the fruit that these people bear?
00:36:06.220 And you can know someone from by the fruit.
00:36:10.900 And to say, you know, things that have bared great fruit for people who oppose globalism,
00:36:19.220 I would argue, are the trucker convoy, of course.
00:36:23.160 This is something that physically applied pressure to the people in Ottawa.
00:36:28.500 And it resulted in the reversal of mandates.
00:36:32.460 It resulted in movements across the world being inspired to oppose globalism in creative ways.
00:36:40.160 It resulted in, as I said, the reversal of certain mandates and provinces almost immediately.
00:36:47.240 It really was like the beginning of the reversal of what was going on there.
00:36:52.580 That is fruit.
00:36:53.880 That is fruit like they that that movement bore bore is a bore bared fruit for right wingers, freedom fighters, just for, you know, people who want to go back to normal in general.
00:37:07.060 Really, another thing would be the PPC.
00:37:12.060 People can say what they want about the PPC, but some of the fruit that they bared is at least they are a party that was on the ballot that represented opposing lockdowns.
00:37:22.480 for example, that represented opposing mass migration, for example.
00:37:26.160 You know, you can talk to PPC in different areas across the country.
00:37:30.340 People have met other people because of the PPC.
00:37:32.840 It has caused some sort of network effect where like-minded Canadians can connect with
00:37:38.000 one another.
00:37:38.680 This is a worthwhile fruit.
00:37:40.140 There's a lot of people who I've met through politics.
00:37:42.060 It started with the PPC.
00:37:43.840 Okay, so that is something that people have put money into, much like the Tucker Convoy,
00:37:47.880 because this is what we do when we try to save the country.
00:37:50.420 We try to, you know, where are we going to put our money, right?
00:37:52.480 trucker convoy received a lot of money bared a lot of fruit ppc received some money bared some
00:37:59.160 fruit in terms of getting people together getting an anti-globalist voice out there and collectivizing
00:38:04.500 people and i'll talk about diagalon and jeremy mckenzie of course what kind of fruit does
00:38:10.660 diagalon and jeremy mckenzie bear quite a lot if you're familiar with diagalon which is just a
00:38:16.180 nickname for his podcast community you would know that they're all about finding your friends this
00:38:21.300 is this is a this is a sort of like trend or idea that jeremy came up with basically in the middle
00:38:25.680 of the pandemic when people are feeling isolated and uh and alone and etc etc and said hey let's
00:38:31.060 find one another let's find like-minded people start doing more events and i'll never forget the
00:38:35.680 the potluck dinner i went to it was like i think it was like summer or sorry it's one summer it
00:38:40.980 was winter 2021 before the convoy like the december before the convoy and i got invited to
00:38:45.980 this like diagonal on meetup and it was this very heartwarming thing no masks on anyone which was a
00:38:50.900 big deal at the time especially if you were unvaccinated and it was this beautiful thing
00:38:54.840 that was the fruit that was bared from this from jeremy mckenzie this this veteran and canadian
00:39:02.500 podcaster and the and there's many many many other fruit that has come from jeremy mckenzie himself
00:39:09.020 like these viral clips that inspire people that push the conversation forward i've actually had
00:39:15.060 conversations with normie friends about some clips from jeremy mckenzie where they're like
00:39:20.200 you know questioning how much they watch sports ball or whatever and uh you know the the converse
00:39:25.920 like the the questions he brought up for the rcmp regarding the nova scotia shooting
00:39:33.000 though that was that was so that was such powerful fruit that the rcmp had to say like hold up we
00:39:39.840 got to put this guy on a person of interest list okay this is this is fruit that is being uh
00:39:45.780 bared that we can that we can sink our teeth into and that that are valuable okay and another more
00:39:52.300 important fruit that we're seeing right now with jeremy actually that uh people should be getting
00:39:57.240 behind if they haven't already are these i lost the link are these um are these this this are these
00:40:07.600 cases that are going on with jeremy because as karema sad is pointing out like in her article
00:40:14.400 you know this is very very sketchy what's going on this is very questionable what's going on
00:40:20.960 in our systems of power this is something that we should be looking at and in many ways the fruit
00:40:25.660 that jeremy is bearing here is hey i'm here to basically test to see how corrupt this system is
00:40:32.960 he's spent over a hundred thousand dollars on a lawyer like he is really testing the system to see
00:40:38.500 if political dissidents have a fighting chance to see how corrupt the judicial system is the
00:40:44.420 law enforcement system is and also you know the the various governments are um this is important
00:40:51.580 like in the fight against globalism or in the fight that we're in this is what needs to happen
00:40:57.620 this is part of the path forward you know a lot of people like to say oh we'll never win elections
00:41:02.460 and that's it we'll never win elections and they're corrupt and that's it and it's it's not
00:41:08.340 just about elections there needs to be the testing of our different institutions and we're seeing
00:41:13.560 that very very much with these political charges against jeremy mckenzie those are those are fruit
00:41:19.680 these are fruit that this political dissident is bearing this is how we know these people are not
00:41:24.980 controlled opposition now i talked about sending money or like you know putting our money behind
00:41:31.960 something like the ppc like the trucker convoy like jeremy mckenzie if you want to you know
00:41:36.820 donate money to his uh to his podcast or to his stream now what about something like rebel noose
00:41:42.080 what fruit are do we receive from rebel noose because as i mentioned you know a rant from
00:41:52.520 jeremy mckenzie where he's talking about something provocative and interesting that started a
00:41:56.240 conversation with my normie friend that's a sign that his uh rhetoric that his his commentary his
00:42:01.460 content was reaching out of the echo chamber to actually you know have a normie start to even
00:42:06.720 think about something to me that is a positive fruit does rebel news content do the same thing
00:42:11.900 can you share a rebel news video with your normie friend what would they think if you shared a rebel
00:42:20.040 news video with with your normie centrist a political friend to be honest like if i were
00:42:28.420 to answer that question they'd probably think i was crazy and it's not to say that i don't like
00:42:33.480 rebel news content necessarily but there is a certain tone there is a certain bias that comes
00:42:39.240 across very strongly in in rebel news videos and i don't know if it moves the needle i don't know
00:42:48.200 if rebel news videos are like reaching outside of the echo chamber and i fear that what rebel news
00:42:53.680 videos might be doing are simply terrifying people and saying oh my god it's justin trudeau
00:43:01.380 we need to stop Justin Trudeau. This is horrible. This is bad. Make sure you subscribe and make
00:43:06.820 sure you send money to this fundraiser. That has nothing to do with building a community.
00:43:12.600 That has nothing to do with starting meaningful conversations to try and sway people to, you know,
00:43:18.860 to change this country. It has a lot to do with sitting alone in your basement,
00:43:24.340 watching Rebel News videos and sending them money. That's what it has a lot to do with
00:43:28.980 that i can see from from where i'm sitting what is that fruit what fruit is that bearing
00:43:35.740 you know like what sort of outcome are we are are we getting here by by you know
00:43:42.080 by by sending rebel news videos to one another all day is that going to save the country
00:43:48.060 i don't know and and i i brought i brought up a uh this is a really funny comic you've maybe
00:43:55.300 seen him before his name is bob i believe you just drag it over here oh let me hide that
00:44:03.380 fear not my lady i'm signing another online petition and you can see the you know the
00:44:11.840 dragon in the background just like terrorizing the land and i would like to like add a um you
00:44:17.780 know augment this if this black dragon here were justin trudeau for example and he would just
00:44:24.200 change this to fear not my lady i am sending money to rebel news you know fear not my lady i am
00:44:32.700 voting for pierre polyev you know fear not my lady i'm gonna finish fear not my lady i just
00:44:39.920 got to finish this this jordan peterson podcast just let me finish this jordan peterson podcast
00:44:45.260 then i can go slay the dragon right this is really what i'm talking about when it comes some
00:44:51.180 to to bearing the fruit are these people fearlessly going out to slay the dragon are they running out
00:45:01.960 there to slay the dragon to to fight the evil to fight the corruption or are they just kind of you
00:45:08.620 know encouraging you to sit on your phone and and send in money and don't get me wrong don't get me
00:45:13.840 wrong like there is a lot of value to creating content creating the right kind of content and
00:45:18.620 i think rebel news has created a lot of great content so that's not what i'm trying to say here
00:45:22.940 but when it when it comes to this like you know on ongoing thing of how how do we determine who
00:45:31.280 is controlled opposition and who is not that's something that we look at what what is the outcome
00:45:36.560 of i mean another great example is comparing jeremy mckenzie's fruit maybe to the fruit of
00:45:43.820 Rebel News. Jeremy McKenzie, because because if you imagine how much money Rebel News receives
00:45:50.900 versus how much money Jeremy McKenzie receives, it's probably not even comparable. Rebel News
00:45:57.820 or sorry, Jeremy McKenzie is just one guy. He sometimes streams a few times a week and he
00:46:03.180 receives donations from people occasionally when they're watching. OK, but what you get out of that
00:46:07.620 if you actually watch and enjoy his content, you get comedy, you get news, you get inspired,
00:46:12.680 you laugh you cry you might actually get a community out of it you might find like-minded
00:46:17.580 people you're getting a lot you're getting a lot of bang for your buck if you're a fan of jeremy
00:46:21.700 mckenzie and you're sending him money right um or i mean well sorry you you receive that value
00:46:27.880 without even sending him money necessarily but by supporting him like you're helping keep that
00:46:32.560 thing alive whereas you know compared to the amount of money that rebel news might get like
00:46:38.960 is it is it the same sort of like apples to apples comparison because i don't know if there's like is
00:46:44.540 does rebel news do community building are they doing things like that um yeah like like what are
00:46:53.600 the size of the fruit in in uh in comparison and you know i hate to do like part of me hates to do
00:47:01.500 this because because i don't want to like because it seems like very gossipy it seems kind of like
00:47:06.220 low-hanging fruit but it is something that needs to be addressed in this vein which is the fact
00:47:12.180 that Ezra Levant is running a business and the business is Rebel News okay so speaking of the
00:47:19.580 fruit that's being bared the like you know like what is the outcome what is the outcome that
00:47:24.000 people are getting um what what is the main goal of Rebel News is is it to get an anti-globalist
00:47:33.680 in power? Because I don't think it is because they are, you know, passively supporting Pierre
00:47:41.520 Polyev by not criticizing him. So I don't know if that is the goal of Rebel News. And maybe the goal
00:47:46.580 of Rebel News is just to make money. Any business wants to make money. So maybe that is their
00:47:49.860 primary goal. So it's not even like a criticism. It's just kind of more of a fact that if you're
00:47:56.800 running a business, your goal is to make money first and foremost. And this is where it kind of
00:48:02.440 like upset me i saw this the other day and i could have like it it really really kind of bothered me
00:48:08.400 um because you know i am somebody who wants to see results i am someone who wants to see
00:48:14.280 an outcome with uh you know in in the canadian right wing in terms of moving moving moving the
00:48:22.300 needle making sure people are spending their money on something that's going to give them a result to
00:48:25.800 try and either reach out of the echo chamber or try to actually stop corruption and uh i saw a
00:48:32.720 tweet from rebel news and it says ezra levant is with our rebel videographer to find out the truth
00:48:38.820 about hungary a country that is routinely demonized in the mainstream media to see all of our reports
00:48:44.020 visit the truth about hungary.com and if you can help us crowdfund the cost of our citizen
00:48:48.860 journalism please consider chipping in a few dollars at the same website too and for those
00:48:55.560 who don't know uh Ezra I believe like a week earlier was in Marseille France to cover some
00:49:02.020 of the riots going on in France and you know fair enough you want to get on the ground there you
00:49:08.180 want to try and capture some of what's going on with the riots in France that's admirable enough
00:49:13.240 and in the back of my head I'm thinking you know maybe Ezra is just kind of on a euro trip
00:49:17.520 like you know Marseille France I'm not I'm sure there's not riots everywhere in Europe I'm sure
00:49:22.500 there's like a lot of nice things to check out and again but like if you're gonna you know give
00:49:26.760 us some content then so be it but this thing in hungary is a little a little more a little more
00:49:33.400 kind of because if you go to the next tweet it says inside the nazi communist house of terror 0.67
00:49:39.020 in budapest ezra levance visits a museum honoring the victims of both hitler's nazis and stalin's
00:49:47.480 communists, sharing his thoughts on the uniqueness of this Hungarian cultural site.
00:49:52.960 So now you're just visiting, you know, now you're just visiting a museum.
00:49:57.320 Now you're just touring sites, tourist sites in Hungary and calling it news.
00:50:05.480 Ezra Levan visits a museum.
00:50:08.160 We got the scoop at seven o'clock.
00:50:10.320 And here I'm going to, I'm going to read like, I'm going to read the,
00:50:13.600 hey, we're going on a tour of a museum.
00:50:15.620 this is breaking independent citizen journalism make sure you send us money really man and that's
00:50:22.460 why i think it's important to talk about this because you know i don't want to like say that
00:50:28.260 ezra is shamelessly you know trying to crowds crowdsource money to extend his euro trip
00:50:35.900 but i you cannot tell me that going to a museum is news you can't tell me that going to a museum
00:50:44.640 in Hungary while you happen to be in Europe is news it's content it's YouTube content like if
00:50:52.260 I was like a YouTuber and I'm like yo hey cool there's like this Holocaust Museum and I'm gonna
00:50:56.500 talk about it sure that's content but to say that like this is like independent citizen journalism
00:51:02.340 that's a stretch that's a stretch and it wouldn't be so bad because Ezra could have done something
00:51:08.280 like that he could have said hey hey I'm just you know because I want to be generous while I'm here
00:51:13.040 I want to share this story.
00:51:14.200 Here you go.
00:51:14.800 You know, I, Hey, I was on a Euro trip and like, I'm just checking out this Holocaust 1.00
00:51:17.960 museum.
00:51:18.460 And like, I thought I would share the story.
00:51:19.960 I thought it was beautiful, but it wasn't that, is it?
00:51:21.900 It's not that, is it?
00:51:24.080 It's Hey guys, this is, this is a news report.
00:51:27.160 You need to, this is a, this is a news report.
00:51:29.400 Just like any other, this is not just me visiting.
00:51:32.380 This is not just me visiting a Holocaust museum and filming it and calling it news.
00:51:37.460 Make sure you donate to the truth about hungry.com.
00:51:43.860 And back to my point, what is the outcome?
00:51:47.600 What is the outcome of something like that?
00:51:51.400 And I hope this is kind of like the worst example they have,
00:51:54.320 because this is a pretty bad example.
00:51:56.720 You're going to Hungary to look at a museum to make some content.
00:52:01.080 Is that saving the country?
00:52:02.460 Is that stopping Trudeau?
00:52:05.220 What is that doing?
00:52:10.260 Chat, what is that doing?
00:52:11.300 Is there anyone in chat who can explain to me what's going on?
00:52:13.680 I would love to know.
00:52:15.060 I would love to know.
00:52:17.700 But, all right, we've almost been going for an hour here.
00:52:23.120 What else did I want to cover?
00:52:24.760 We've got a super chat here from Jane Bray.
00:52:28.400 Nobody loves a hero till the government is dragging you off to jail.
00:52:33.080 Very true.
00:52:34.200 Very true.
00:52:34.820 So, I mean, once again, we've seen a pattern here of Rebel News leeching off content from Jeremy McKenzie and profiting off of it.
00:52:54.020 They have retweeted his viral videos in the past talking about Omar Khadr.
00:52:58.780 They have used his screenshots that he got from an RCMP leaker and reposted it like they
00:53:06.820 owned it, like they got that scoop themselves, okay?
00:53:10.040 They profited off of him being debanked. 0.98
00:53:12.700 They covered the story, and then they went out of their way to call him a drunk, crazy 0.98
00:53:17.420 veteran, by the way.
00:53:19.060 Like, what kind of, I mean, I don't know, like, what kind of right-wing platform are
00:53:27.300 you if you're going to do something like that?
00:53:28.780 you're going to profit off of this guy.
00:53:31.100 You're going to, you know,
00:53:32.080 you're going to associate yourself with him
00:53:33.980 when it's convenient.
00:53:35.140 And then when his name actually comes up,
00:53:37.260 you're going to slander, 0.86
00:53:39.560 basically slander his name.
00:53:41.280 You're basically going to smear his name.
00:53:42.760 Maybe not slander,
00:53:43.500 but you're certainly like muddying the waters
00:53:45.340 of this person's character.
00:53:47.380 And then again, calling him a fed.
00:53:49.660 Oh my God.
00:53:50.380 And I'm just realizing I didn't even,
00:53:51.660 I didn't even get to the spiciest part of the story. 0.99
00:53:53.380 Silly me.
00:53:58.780 during the trucker convoy there was a lot of talks of using the emergencies act we all know 0.84
00:54:11.360 this they were talking about they were hyping up the emergencies act and diagalon got mentioned
00:54:17.940 in the house of commons it got mentioned in the senate and a lot of lies like the anti-hate lies
00:54:26.940 around diagonal on and jeremy's podcast community was used and said by sitting politicians sitting
00:54:34.300 mps in the house of commons and then also canadian senators lies from anti-hate were repeated in the
00:54:41.720 house of commons and in the canadian senate to vilify both jeremy and his podcast community
00:54:48.920 implying that they are essentially right-wing accelerationist terrorists they want to start a
00:54:53.500 race war literally like that literally happened that literally happened that's crazy that's so
00:55:01.380 much just corrupt like it there's there's so many things to say about how humiliating that is
00:55:08.900 for our canadian institutions at the highest level that the members of the members of parliament would
00:55:15.060 be saying this that senators would be saying this they basically didn't do their own research they
00:55:18.800 basically didn't care about the truth they basically just wanted a scapegoat to blame the
00:55:22.020 Emergencies Act on. If you're a journalist, that's a story that you want to cover. That's
00:55:27.920 the other side of the story. Justin Trudeau blames meme country to justify the use of the
00:55:36.080 Emergencies Act. Wow. And guess what? There was someone at Rebel News, I believe his nickname is
00:55:42.420 K2, who was talking to Jeremy McKenzie. Jeremy McKenzie was explaining the story, sending the
00:55:49.520 clips from the house of commons sending the clips from the from the senate this is really happening
00:55:53.480 this is a real story and then they were about to interview jeremy to to share the story with the
00:55:59.600 world on the rebel news platform which is a big platform they have over a million subscribers on
00:56:03.760 youtube and on and on but the last second they said you know what we're gonna have to get back
00:56:11.000 to you sorry like sorry something oh sorry i think it was something something came up
00:56:14.480 something came up we're not going to cover that story why why if you're ezra levant and you own
00:56:23.560 rebel news and part of your whole mo part of your whole business plan is to humiliate trudeau
00:56:28.020 humiliate the trudeau regime humiliate these you know these mps who are making a mockery of canada 0.93
00:56:35.060 like that just gets your blood pumping of how insane the the corruption is and the lies it's 0.92
00:56:41.380 It's an incredibly humiliating story for the Trudeau regime, for the Canadian power structure
00:56:49.120 in general, but they didn't want to cover it.
00:56:52.520 And the question is why?
00:56:54.620 The question is why?
00:56:57.080 And I think it speaks to, I think the answer to that question speaks to, it's almost like
00:57:02.080 it's too corrupt.
00:57:04.520 It's almost like this story shows off that it's too corrupt.
00:57:08.720 it's almost like it shows just how powerful this Canadian veteran podcaster named Jeremy McKenzie
00:57:18.360 is it almost it's almost too insane for people to handle because it'll really be like wow like
00:57:24.380 our institutions really are out of whack and I would be remissed if I didn't mention this
00:57:33.060 because this is super super relevant um and you know because i'm sure people will say hey greg
00:57:41.000 uh you know they're probably working for uh you know rebel news is probably working with uh
00:57:47.440 pierre polyev like you never know uh that might be the case that might be happening
00:57:51.660 and the the thing with that is i i don't i would never make those kind of accusations
00:57:57.260 i like to look at the facts okay i like to look at what we know i like you know speculating is
00:58:02.440 certainly something that we can't do but um like i said it's the results it's the results of what
00:58:08.320 we're getting from these different players from these different uh organizations but and i and i
00:58:14.640 apologize because i haven't fact checked this but it's an interesting screenshot nonetheless
00:58:19.040 which says pierre and ezra go way back like over 20 years they wrote an op-ed together in 2002 as
00:58:27.060 original advocates for merging the canadian alliance with the progressives then it says
00:58:32.220 after kretchen announced he would retire as prime minister of canada in 2002 polyev and ezra levant
00:58:37.020 who practiced law at the time wrote an op-ed advocating for the merger of the canadian
00:58:41.160 alliance and progressive conservative parties looks like it's an excerpt from from uh from
00:58:45.080 wikipedia and of course that does not prove anything other than the fact that ezra levant
00:58:51.140 and Pierre Polyev have known each other for over 20 years.
00:58:56.140 And if you consider that no one at Rebel News
00:58:59.960 has really openly criticized Pierre Polyev,
00:59:03.940 kind of a little fishy, kind of a little fishy.
00:59:07.700 And I'll go back to what I originally tweeted about this
00:59:11.760 because I think this should certainly be a takeaway.
00:59:17.480 Responding to Ezra saying he's a Fed,
00:59:19.420 referring to Jeremy McKenzie,
00:59:20.360 I say, Ezra Levant just accused Jeremy McKenzie of being a Fed with no evidence or explanation.
00:59:26.940 I think he's sending this tweet out as a feeler to see the appetite or the backlash to collect
00:59:33.820 data.
00:59:35.000 Regardless, it's extremely suspicious gatekeeper behavior.
00:59:39.180 Not a good sign if you like Rebel News.
00:59:42.760 And it really is not a good sign.
00:59:44.280 to me this tweet because as i said i do believe that he sent it out as a feeler oh he might say
00:59:54.140 he might come out and say oh i was just kidding about that and then he'll be right on jeremy's
00:59:57.940 side trying to do some sort of op-ed or trying to like you know your profit out of the situation
01:00:01.400 to help rebel news and and their bottom lines but um i think he sent it out as a feeler to feel the
01:00:07.880 appetite to see if there's going to be backlash of uh if i say something like that but
01:00:13.280 you know if it's it's very very awful because that kind of shows that he might be seeing jeremy as a
01:00:23.300 threat he might be seeing jeremy as a potential problem so he wants to say okay let's see if i
01:00:27.340 call this guy a fed let's see what the response is let's see where people are people are at right
01:00:31.260 let's kind of gauge let's see what i can do uh to try and you know get this person out of the way or
01:00:36.860 i don't know what's going through his head but if you are collecting data ezra respectfully 1.00
01:00:42.860 uh fuck yourself that's my feedback on that tweet of he's a fed go fuck yourself okay that's my 1.00
01:00:51.720 feedback you can write that down with all the other responses you might have found in there 1.00
01:00:54.680 um that is my feedback is is go fuck yourself okay you are adding to the problems that jeremy 0.99
01:01:03.940 mckenzie has had to deal with okay you're adding to the many many challenges that are in his way 1.00
01:01:09.260 and you're supposed to be the rebel commander like it is so disgusting jeremy has had to fight 0.83
01:01:15.500 in afghanistan he has he's had to come home and fight for the country he's had to fight
01:01:19.320 the vilification in the media he's had to fight off people literally trying to kill him in jail
01:01:25.900 because the tv in jail says he's a bad man and then a bunch of the inmates wanted to kill him 0.88
01:01:31.620 because he's some evil white supremacist he's had to literally fight for his life in jail he's fighting 0.96
01:01:36.880 for his future in, in, in, in the, in the courtroom. 0.99
01:01:41.720 And now on top of that, he now has to get prepared, I guess, to fight you.
01:01:46.600 He now has to fight people on his own side.
01:01:48.420 He's got to fight Pierre Polyev as well.
01:01:49.940 Who's also vilifying him. 1.00
01:01:52.780 So, you know, fuck you, man. 1.00
01:01:56.360 That's, that's too bad because I don't want to, I don't want to necessarily come out and 1.00
01:02:01.460 say it but to me it's like does this does this confirm that that Ezra Levant is just a gatekeeper
01:02:09.280 for the establishment I don't know I don't know but if I was a gatekeeper for the establishment
01:02:17.200 I think this this would be the type of behavior
01:02:21.280 and it's sad to see because there's a lot of great work that comes out of Rebel News there's a lot of
01:02:27.000 great people who work for rebel news and you know i'm sure me and ezra would agree on a lot of
01:02:33.220 things he's retweeted me multiple times before you know there's a lot of uh there's a lot there's a
01:02:39.420 most there's most things that we have in common but i think unfortunately and this is going to
01:02:44.420 sound nasty but the difference is i want what's best for the country and for canadian people
01:02:50.920 and rebel news might want what's best for their bottom line let's face it folks justin trudeau
01:02:58.860 is probably good for rebel news's bottom line right because the more globalism the more chaos
01:03:05.120 and destruction the more rebel news can profit off of our despair they can profit off of our
01:03:11.380 fear they can profit off of our anger by by showing us the story and saying hey help help
01:03:15.900 support us where does that money go though what is the outcome what do we get
01:03:20.540 and i'll also add this because it's relevant which is remember when rebel news did that whole thing
01:03:26.780 of hey guys we're going to davos we're going to davos for the world economic forum we're going
01:03:32.580 to stop these guys make sure you send us money because we're going to stop these guys in davos 0.96
01:03:37.060 and sure they got some great clips of making these uh international bureaucrats look like scumbags 0.51
01:03:43.960 what is that for the outcome though is that a is that a positive outcome or is that just kind of 0.94
01:03:50.940 more content for us to get mad at and ruminate in our basement like watching on our phone
01:03:57.740 does that move the overton window does that help us fight mass migration does that help us expose
01:04:04.260 vaccine deaths in the canadian public does that help us question help more normies question the
01:04:12.540 Canadian mainstream media and help move the, like I said, move the Overton window? Does that help
01:04:16.860 protect our kids, protect our future? It's a very important question because it's
01:04:23.380 the outcome. What fruit are these people bearing? I think we, I think I encourage everyone to start
01:04:30.340 thinking about that, whether it's an individual, whether it's a politician, whether it's a
01:04:34.240 platform, especially if there's, there are people who ask for money a lot. Like what is the outcome
01:04:39.400 with what these people are doing
01:04:41.540 that's actually going to help save this country.
01:04:44.320 Because as I've said all throughout the show,
01:04:48.100 this Pierre Polyev guy
01:04:49.920 and this Conservative Party of Canada
01:04:51.260 is not bearing fruit, guys.
01:04:54.100 It's rotten.
01:04:55.080 It's rotten on the branch, okay?
01:04:57.540 I'm not gonna go over all the examples.
01:04:59.460 You can watch a previous episode,
01:05:00.600 but it is bad.
01:05:02.640 These guys won't even oppose mass migration.
01:05:04.480 They won't even oppose the gender cult. 0.93
01:05:06.340 They won't even oppose the vaccine deaths.
01:05:08.080 and even worse, they kind of do this sleight of hand
01:05:10.100 where they pretend to
01:05:11.020 and it's just really, really bad news bears.
01:05:14.080 They're not fighting the news media, like I said before
01:05:15.980 and they're basically slaves to the media at this point.
01:05:18.540 So they're slaves to the establishment.
01:05:20.440 If you're a slave to the media,
01:05:21.500 you're a slave to the establishment.
01:05:22.660 So why are you donating to the Conservative Party of Canada?
01:05:25.840 What fruit are we bearing from that?
01:05:28.060 Yay, we're a pro-slavery Conservative Party 1.00
01:05:31.140 that wants us to be slaves
01:05:32.280 to the neoliberal globalist New World Order
01:05:36.280 and the media.
01:05:37.060 don't worry guys we're slaves to the
01:05:38.960 neoliberal media with the
01:05:41.200 conservative party they're going to save us I don't think so
01:05:43.300 anyway guys thanks so

01:06:33.420 for us on the show thank you so much for watching um and guys if you got a glass raise a glass to
01:06:40.200 to raging dissidents to jeremy mckenzie because we need to stand with this guy okay we need to
01:06:45.720 support him no matter what because he is going he's been bearing fruit for us and uh yeah we
01:06:52.140 got to vote for their wallets okay we got to vote with our wallets and figure out who is bearing
01:06:56.760 fruit who is giving us outcomes and who is not and we got to keep testing them and we got to
01:07:02.180 push back actually sorry one last thing here as well you know a reason why i wanted to do this
01:07:07.680 emergency episode episode is because it really really ticked me off that uh ezra did this okay
01:07:16.120 because it's like he knows the size of his platform he knows the size of influence that he has and he's
01:07:25.240 just going to and he he knows the consequences of calling somebody a fit and he and he's still
01:07:30.120 doing this like like he should like i really don't think he should be able to get away with this 0.98
01:07:36.440 he should not be able to get away with playing dumb and because that's a bullshit excuse i think 0.97
01:07:41.960 and then number two he's being a bully okay he's trying to bully and push use the weight he has 0.99
01:07:48.720 with this platform around and bully jeremy mckenzie i'm not going to stand for that we need
01:07:54.340 we need to stand up to one another and the reason i made this episode ezra if you're watching back
01:07:59.380 off. Don't do that. Okay. You're not going to get away with that. I know we're not going to put up
01:08:04.560 with that. Not going to happen. Okay. Um, and I swear to God, if you find some excuse to like
01:08:14.040 sue me for defamation or something like that is totally, that is just like, wow, bro. That would
01:08:21.100 be very, very, it'd be very entertaining and funny for a plethora of reasons. I should also
01:08:27.340 mention this is actually not the time the first time ezra has done this he's called a friend of
01:08:32.600 mine tyler l russell and canada first he called these guys feds at the trucker convoy and tyler
01:08:41.240 russell told me that after ezra levant tweeted out and said that he is a fed that tyler russell
01:08:47.900 is a fed and uh that canada first there are a bunch of feds they had older gentlemen at the
01:08:55.060 trucker convoy like app like apprehend them and get in their face and like start to get physical
01:08:59.080 with them so ezra knows that he has influence and if you in ezra if you didn't know you put
01:09:05.080 people in danger when you do that and you're supposed to be a journalist hello you're supposed
01:09:10.780 to like check the facts you're supposed to look at the legal proceedings are you not and then in
01:09:14.980 this case you're just going to like willy-nilly call somebody a fed it's uh yeah it's it's not
01:09:21.340 good and the other thing that i should mention as well is ezra levant is jewish this guy should
01:09:28.880 know more than anyone the consequences of having people call you names of being marginalized
01:09:34.900 i'm sure he could tell you all about how this happened in the past leading up to the holocaust
01:09:40.640 how it was so unfair to to have someone brush you aside and not care about the facts and just call
01:09:45.100 you these names and dismiss and bully you, right?
01:09:49.800 Ezra should know all about how terrible bullying is being a Jewish man, yet apparently he does 1.00
01:09:55.880 not hesitate to bully somebody else or bully some other group that in this case, I don't
01:10:02.720 know.
01:10:04.360 You hate to see it.
01:10:05.380 You hate to see it, guys.
01:10:06.500 You hate to see it.
01:10:07.840 But we're not going to put up with it.
01:10:09.200 We're not going to put up with it.
01:10:10.460 And, yeah, we got to stand up for one another.
01:10:15.100 We've got to stand up for one another.

01:10:40.100 We need to look at the facts.
01:10:41.400 We need to look at the outcomes of what different people in the movement in Canada are giving
01:10:46.240 us, and we need to reward the people who are bearing fruit, okay?
01:10:50.660 And start to criticize and question the people who might not be bearing as much fruit.
