Transcript
00:00:00.000
Conservative politicians and online commentators like to spend a lot of time owning the libs or
00:00:05.180
making fun of liberals. But maybe we should be spending more of that time actually stopping
00:00:10.240
liberals and stopping their policies, or better yet, holding conservative politicians accountable
00:00:15.960
who aren't doing their job. For example, here in Canada, Pierre Polyev was just owning Trudeau
00:00:22.900
in the House of Commons the other day, and Bill C-11 recently just got passed through the House
00:00:28.160
of Commons, taking away our freedom of speech online. And in the States, Ron DeSantis, who is
00:00:33.740
being championed as being anti-woked, just flew to Israel to pass a bill against anti-Semitism,
00:00:41.220
infringing upon the First Amendment rights of all Americans. This is a problem that we need to talk
00:00:47.520
about. And the conversation starts now. I promise you, I will not let you down.
00:00:52.300
the trucks parked outside illegally should move canada's conservatives will meet our paris climate
00:01:00.360
commitment enough with the wrong so mr speaker i take that back to champion our conservative
00:01:06.280
principles we are the party of law and order to call in the auditors we haven't yet decided
00:01:11.120
whether we're going to call for the government to impose a mandatory test or vaccination
00:01:22.300
Canada must not ignore the reality of climate change.
00:01:41.100
Why weren't Canadians vaccinated in January and February like everyone else?
00:01:52.300
Welcome, everybody, to Controlled Opposition, episode 15.
00:02:03.140
Our wonderful guest host could not make it today because he's something to do with a goat farm and CSIS agents.
00:02:14.140
We're getting into some very, very intense topics, and I'm excited to share them with you.
00:02:19.960
first and foremost owning the libs okay owning the libs we all want to talk about how we get to
00:02:26.760
own the libs but are we actually getting w's in canada are we actually getting w's in the states
00:02:33.280
we're going to be going over of course the fact how bill c11 unfortunately just passed here in
00:02:39.960
canada and at the same time we have all these clips of pierre polyev in the house of commons
00:02:45.460
owning the libs and owning trudeau and if you could would have guessed it talking about money
00:02:51.300
talking about the price of milk or in this case the price of a hotel room and i want to give a
00:02:57.180
great example of something that's just happened in the states that is very very concerning and
00:03:02.040
is related to what we're also seeing in canada which is ron desantis ron desantis he's a champion
00:03:07.980
against against the woke florida florida is the most free right florida is the most free
00:03:14.300
state that you would want to live in, in the United States, correct? Well, he just flew to
00:03:21.040
Israel to pass a bill that applies to Florida that has to do with anti-Semitism. And we have
00:03:28.080
actually the line by line of what's implicated in this bill. And it's really not good for freedom
00:03:33.900
of speech to say the least. And believe it or not, if you didn't know, there is a bill that was
00:03:39.840
tabled by the conservative party of canada that kind of echoes the same sentiment um and before
00:03:46.280
we get started i'll do a quick caveat a quick sort of disclaimer i feel silly uh to even have
00:03:52.380
to do this but i do not endorse violence okay i do not endorse hate of any specific group of people
00:03:58.180
okay that's not in my heart however i do endorse criticizing all different groups i think i i
00:04:05.300
believe in freedom of speech i think everyone should be able to be criticized evenly and open
00:04:09.820
But, of course, hatred and violence is kind of that line where I don't think, you know, let's not cross that line to openly promote that sort of thing.
00:04:28.040
Let's get into the bad news happening here in Canada.
00:04:42.080
And now we have Pablo Rodriguez, this next crook, this next gangster who is shoving Bill C-11 through.
0.92
00:04:53.300
And with C-11, we are supporting our artists and creators so they can continue sharing their stories with the world.
0.99
00:05:01.520
Now, if you're watching Controlled Opposition, you probably know that this is bullshit.
0.97
00:05:05.360
You probably know that this guise of supporting artists is total nonsense.
0.97
00:05:12.500
I have been able to grow an audience on YouTube and Big Tech.
00:05:20.500
I was able to grow an audience, no thanks, to the Canadian government.
00:05:24.800
The Canadian government has not helped me one bit.
00:05:29.120
As much as I don't like Google and can criticize Google in certain ways,
00:05:32.940
they actually did help me reach an audience the Canadian government did not help me with that at
00:05:38.040
all that's pretty obvious however you know this has passed and I was on top of Bill C-11 back
00:05:51.340
when it was C-10 I was talking all about it on TikTok on social media and it seems as though
00:05:57.840
that whenever Pierre Polyef has something to say,
0.81
00:06:04.220
The last thing that Pierre Polyef has done about C11,
0.73
00:06:20.320
Make sure you send me money right down the pipe.
00:06:34.040
And the common thread that we've talked about many times on controlled opposition
00:06:38.020
is how this conservative party does not have a leg to stand on.
00:06:43.920
They don't even have a spear to throw at their enemy.
00:06:47.400
Metaphorically, of course, they don't have a sort of bludgeoning way
00:06:55.860
what are they fighting with the liberals against it's it's literally the price of milk it's
00:06:59.980
literally money money money money all the time money that is really all they have in terms of
00:07:05.120
being able to criticize um uh and criticize the liberal government or justin trudeau for that
00:07:11.300
matter and you might say oh well greg no he uh you know one time one time pierre polyev said
00:07:17.460
defund cbc and one time pierre polyev said um that bill c11 bad that's great but that's that's
00:07:24.660
not that's not nearly enough okay that's not not nearly enough and we'll just show this clip was
00:07:31.040
from the other day from Pierre Polyev I find this stuff hard to watch now just because it's such
00:07:36.500
it seems like such theater this was from just the other day April 26th just yesterday we have the
00:07:44.280
largest federal public sector strike in Canadian history 150,000 people and Trudeau is escaping
00:07:50.700
to new york all he's delivered is a bureaucracy that let's turn it up a bit shall we is that
00:07:58.220
why isn't that louder it should be way is that hopefully you guys can hear that oh this actually
00:08:03.860
this should be turned up here we go all right pierre all right pp let's see what you have to
00:08:10.760
say all he's delivered is a bureaucracy that costs 20 billion dollars more per year that's
00:08:25.920
for veterans who can't get answers to their requests,
00:08:30.020
and now taxpayers who won't be able to get answers to their tax questions
00:08:36.980
Given that Canadian taxpayers are not getting the services they pay for,
00:08:48.420
i i'm i don't want to listen to this guy but yeah i'm not going to listen we'll go to the
00:08:57.120
other part actually you know i want to comment on a couple things he said first of all you know
00:09:00.960
20 million dollars more per year part i'm gonna i'm gonna bring up this analogy here because i
00:09:08.560
think it's a really good one this is really what the conservative party is okay not only do they
00:09:15.300
not have a leg to stand on they do not sorry this is this is the the monty python and the holy grail
00:09:20.680
the black knight you know like this is the conservative party of canada they don't have
00:09:24.500
a leg to stand on they don't even have a sword to swing okay they're literally standing there saying
00:09:29.620
you spent too much money you spent too much money and and the liberal party is there like
00:09:36.600
what are you doing like you're not even opposing me in any sort of reasonable grounds they don't
00:09:42.200
have a leg to stand on here what am i talking about i'm talking about of course they're not
00:09:47.800
opposing the transgender ideology for that matter that they wouldn't oppose anything like abortion
0.66
00:09:52.960
okay so they don't have their feet on the ground they can't even connect with any sort of christian
00:09:57.360
morality to condemn uh things they actually support these things as we've gone over on the
00:10:02.200
show before so they can't attack them on any moral grounds there of attacking children which is a very
00:10:07.900
powerful thing which we really make a lot of movement a lot of conservatives are very
00:10:12.100
very passionate about that there are people coming out of the woodwork do you want to talk
00:10:15.380
about wins what is it here yeah i want to talk about w's breaking tonight the township of norwich
00:10:22.200
voted against allowing pride flags to fly on municipal lands and they voted against
00:10:26.920
proclaiming june as pride month these two and then someone says this homophobic no this is a huge w
00:10:32.400
this is a bunch of regular people in the township of norwich saying hey no we actually don't want
0.97
00:10:38.280
to do that we don't want to have to you know put up all this pride shit we're kind of sick of it
0.94
00:10:42.800
um and i think i think it was a tweet by ben bankus that was like it's not that people are
0.97
00:10:48.180
homophobic it's just we're just kind of sick of it we're just kind of sick of all the rainbow
00:10:51.640
stuff everywhere but this is a huge w no thanks to the conservative party of canada if anything
00:10:57.900
conservatives are our flight they're like let's put up more rainbow flags because we want to be
0.76
00:11:03.060
more progressive pride month is next month uh june so it's going to be a crap show but this is what
00:11:09.800
i'm saying this conservative party is not willing to even take a stand on that so they don't have
0.93
00:11:14.920
that they they don't have legs you know they don't even have legs to stand on when it comes to this
00:11:19.660
and how about the fact that we're in a democratic country okay we're supposed to be in this free
00:11:24.740
democratic country there was this thing called uh covet 19 and the trucker convoy there are
00:11:32.900
arrests frozen bank accounts and i don't have to go over all this you know all of this
00:11:37.380
and this conservative party said oh the emergency exact was invoked and people were crushed with
00:11:44.400
police horses a peaceful protest like an entirely peaceful protest yeah we're not going to say
00:11:49.360
anything about that both of their arms just got cut off to use this black knight analogy okay
00:11:55.320
both both of their arms got completely cut off so you can't even condemn uh justin trudeau or the
00:12:02.700
liberal party when it comes to authoritarian behavior. You can't condemn them when it comes
00:12:06.880
to that. So what are you left with? You're left with the price of milk. You're left with the
00:12:14.220
price of milk or you're left with literally singing and dancing about the price of a hotel room,
00:12:32.700
striking Canadian history. Canadians can't get their services. Meanwhile, their housing costs
00:12:37.660
have doubled and crime is ravaging through our streets. And what is he going to do today?
00:12:42.820
Well, start spreading the news. He's leaving today. He wants to be a part of it. New York,
00:12:52.240
New York. These are small-time blues. They're melting away. I'll make a new start of it
00:13:00.740
in old new york mr speaker i can't sing very well but at least i'm honestly like so sickened that
00:13:07.720
like everyone's just like laughing like ha ha ha ha ha ha yeah ha ha yeah we're totally owning
00:13:12.880
the libs bro we're totally owning trudeau dude ha ha ha ha ha trudeau's going to new york
00:13:21.720
he's a world leader he's going to new york so what this is again like again this is you're a
0.99
00:13:31.960
black knight you're a black knight yelling at trudeau nobody cares they're just walking away
0.97
00:13:37.480
from you like okay bro cool make make fun of me for buying buying an expensive hotel room in new
0.99
00:13:43.920
york nobody cares nobody cares and and let's let's talk about like the hypocrisy of this as well
00:14:14.020
Do you know how small of a drop in the bucket
1.00
00:14:19.060
even if it's a $9,000 hotel room, that is less than peanuts. That is absolutely nothing in terms
00:14:27.620
of the waste of taxpayer money. And you're seriously trying to get your base. You're
00:14:33.600
trying to get the conservatives of this country all up in arms about an expensive hotel room.
00:14:39.820
You know, it's, it's the exact same thing. It's very, very similar to what Trudeau and the liberals
00:14:44.540
do when they're like, Hey, here's a $900 rebate. Here's a $900 rebate. It's a slap in the face.
00:14:51.560
You know, when the liberals do that, Hey, Hey, Oh, $400, $500 rebate for the, for the carbon
00:14:57.060
credit for the carbon tax. Wow. It's a slap in the face. It's, it's very similar to, uh, what's
00:15:03.240
her face? Um, Christy of Freeland saying, you know what? I, I save money by cutting out, by
00:15:10.580
cutting out disney plus that's what i do i take care of the finances in our household yeah that's
0.98
00:15:15.660
all you should take the care of the finances in your household not the fucking country because
0.97
00:15:20.360
you've done a shit job of that quite frankly but this is what i mean it's it's very similar to the
0.98
00:15:26.200
disney plus thing hey we're gonna save you nine dollars why hey canadians we know that inflation
0.98
00:15:32.080
is at a whole time low cost of living is going up and the the quality of life is going down but
00:15:37.460
save nine bucks a month on netflix hey here's a 500 rebate and at the same time you have the
00:15:44.560
opposition saying whoa trudeau spent five thousand dollars he he bought a bunch of booze on an
00:15:50.740
airplane that's five thousand dollars oh my god it's peanuts it's peanuts it's nothing
00:15:56.440
they're getting you excited about nothing it is not something to get excited about especially
00:16:03.760
in the context of where we are right now, especially in the context of where we are
00:16:09.000
right now with this, this transgender ideology, just taking over, like all of society is,
1.00
00:16:16.000
is being held hostage by the alphabet people.
0.90
00:16:19.100
Are we going to talk about the fact that this, you know, that this person who doesn't even
00:16:22.800
know their gender is like basically, um, you know, metaphorically pointing a gun at my
0.92
00:16:27.460
If I don't call them by their pronouns, they're going to, they're going to ruin my life.
1.00
00:16:30.660
If I don't wear the pride jersey, they're going to call me homophobic and transphobic
00:16:34.800
if I don't rep their rainbow colors everywhere.
00:16:39.640
These people are absolute cowards and they're literally, they're looking through liberal
0.99
00:16:50.500
And I really, I want to bring up this image on screen because people need to get that
0.99
00:16:54.400
burn, burn this into your head, guys, burn this into your head.
0.96
00:17:00.660
This is what they're using to come at the opposition with.
00:17:05.840
This is what they come to the House of Commons with.
00:17:16.200
There's nothing opposing this liberal Trudeau regime.
00:17:20.680
And quite frankly, I think they're a part of it.
00:17:28.980
And about that strike, this public service strike, you know, Pierre Polyev could have so much to say during this strike.
00:17:42.860
He could really radically change the conversation.
00:17:47.780
But especially since the convoy, especially since COVID, starting the new leadership of the new Conservative Party,
00:17:54.120
there was such an opportunity for someone like Pierre Polyev
00:17:57.320
to completely change the conversation, to change the moral frame
00:18:01.040
and to establish a new moral authority in Canada
00:18:11.580
I don't like it when Canadians get crushed with police horses.
00:18:15.380
Peaceful protesters get crushed with police horses.
00:18:21.400
it's funny eh how Pierre Paliyev loves to talk about money so much and had nothing to say maybe
00:18:30.060
maybe honestly maybe one small clip of course nothing in a press conference nothing in the
00:18:34.620
house of commons nothing to say about bank accounts being frozen what country have we even
00:18:42.580
been living in with this happening and this conservative party has nothing to say about this
00:19:13.980
hey, using the Emergencies Act on peaceful protesters
00:19:20.040
So Pierre used the trucker convoy to win conservative party leadership.
00:19:29.100
sweat and tears of the trucker convoy and convoy supporters to win
00:19:47.500
wow so this guy's a total scumbag not only is he not going to a champion um you know being
0.99
00:19:53.720
anti-authoritarian but he's actually going to rubber stamp it he's going to this guy is going
0.99
00:19:58.180
to approve uh of the authoritarianism and along with that a couple other things which could be
00:20:03.880
really they really could be low-hanging fruit if you wanted to again radically change the
00:20:10.060
conversation and change the moral authority in this country he could say hey trudeau we've talked
00:20:16.640
about this before on the show jeremy does a much better job of this but he essentially says
00:20:20.780
hey uh hey trudeau remember the time when you said we don't want unvaccinated people on a plane or a
00:20:29.260
train and they're all racist they're all misogynist and they're taking up space
00:20:34.400
that the prime minister of our country othered and essentially dehumanized and dismissed a
00:20:41.840
massive portion of our population you should condemn somebody for doing that you should
00:20:47.560
condemn the leader of a democratic country for doing that and here back coming full circle to
00:20:54.160
this uh this uh public servants strike you know what is he talking about he's talking about wow
00:21:00.740
you just ran away you ran away from the protesters you ran he ran away from the when has that happened
00:21:09.440
before oh yeah during the trucker convoy not only that trudeau basically pretended to be sick or
00:21:15.140
something or he was sick and had nothing to say to uh to the trucker convoy one of the largest
00:21:21.000
protests in canadian history you know this would be a great time to bring that up and talk about
00:21:26.720
how justin trudeau uh abandoned the people and said f you to the people and you know at least
00:21:33.280
the public service um strikers from psac at least they're actually having negotiations
00:21:58.440
these people who are trying to compare the two things
00:22:04.680
they said I don't want to have to take this experimental injection
00:22:08.540
they can't go back to school they lost their livelihood they they're they're out of business
00:22:13.660
their their families have been torn apart because the media propaganda has convinced them that
00:22:19.580
they're an evil person and on and on the absolute devastation of lockdowns that's what these people
00:22:26.760
were processing about something so universally awful for so many people out there who decided
00:22:34.560
not to get vaccinated or even we're just caught in the crossfire crossfire of all the covid
00:22:39.460
restrictions and no politician in the house of commons wants to champion that cause that we're
00:22:46.860
just we're sweeping it under the rug not even the official opposition it's absolutely it's
00:22:53.320
absolutely disgusting it's absolutely disgusting but um let's play this this uh last clip here
00:23:00.780
again their housing costs have doubled and crime is ravaging through our streets and what is he
00:23:06.360
going to do today well start spreading the news he's leaving today he wants to be a part of it
00:23:16.320
new york new york these are small time blues they're melting away i'll make a new start of
00:23:25.900
in old new york mr speaker i can't sing very well but at least i pay for my hotel rooms will he pay
00:23:32.880
for his hotel cost when he goes to new york tonight wow that's the big own that's the big
0.94
00:23:39.740
own a is he is he gonna pay for his hotel room this is absolutely pathetic you guys this is
0.99
00:23:45.460
absolutely pathetic and again keep in mind what what what did he accomplish here
0.97
00:23:51.400
you know because the clip clips like this get people excited hey he sang a song in the house
0.99
00:23:59.820
of commons and he made fun of trudeau for going to new york
00:24:04.520
is that it is that it bill c11 just got passed today you know like like and look and look at
00:24:32.520
What are you doing to actually turn this around?
00:24:36.300
Because it almost seems like you're seeing C11 pass.
00:24:40.360
I'm sure it's going to turn into a, hey, don't you worry.
00:24:43.880
if we get the libs out then we'll turn around bill c11 great and just like i'm saying if they
00:24:53.180
would have changed the moral paradigm in this country and said authoritarianism bad authoritarianism
00:24:58.820
bad and really harped on this over and over and over again because there's a lot of examples
00:25:04.300
political prisoners frozen bank accounts people still out of work because of mandates
00:25:10.620
you know justin trudeau ran on a pro-segregation platform in 2021 this is a democratic free
00:25:19.660
country and said hey i'm going to segregate society that's what i'm going to do and he
00:25:26.460
hasn't even been condemned by it hasn't been condemned for it by the official opposition
00:25:32.200
it's i mean it's it's it's hard to fathom that they're doing anything than just like helping
00:25:41.740
them at this point because trudeau is real he truly is so bad it's true he's awful he's terrible
00:25:48.300
he's he's ruining this country blah blah blah blah but we don't even have an opposition that
00:25:52.700
can criticize him about anything other than the price of a hotel room awful terrible
0.98
00:26:00.740
terrible these guys suck because if they were to have gotten up the whole hey authoritarianism bad
0.92
00:26:07.020
authoritarianism bad they could they could springboard that to talk about c11 get more
0.98
00:26:12.700
people excited about c11 because right now no more people are really coming into the fold of
00:26:18.580
the conservative party it's the same old conservative party just talking about money
00:26:21.920
talking about money the price of milk hey oh um mr trudeau um actually you you spent all this money
00:26:30.020
on, you spent all this money on martinis on your plane. You think this gets voters excited? You
00:26:35.420
think this is bringing new people into the fold? No, they're going to see that and be like, this
00:26:38.540
is the same, the same old conservative party. This is nothing that I care about. Whereas if
00:26:43.600
you change the conversation, that could be completely different. Things could be so much
00:26:47.100
better. Things could be so much better. Thank you for the super chat, Karina Parks. All right,
00:26:54.800
guys, we're going to get into the other, the other spicy, spicy topics today. You know,
00:26:58.820
we don't always cover, um, American politics. We try to focus on Canadian politics. I'm Canadian
00:27:04.680
and you know, we need to like this conservative party in Canada really does suck, but
0.95
00:27:10.160
something happened just today, which is like chef's kiss of a problem, a phenomenon, if you
0.86
00:27:18.740
will, that is also happening here in Canada. But, uh, this is, this is a good example. This is a
00:27:24.860
a good kind of jumping off point to talk about um full disclosure i don't follow american politics
00:27:31.740
as closely so i'm not going to be as well versed in all of this stuff so i do apologize but let's
00:27:38.980
get into it without further ado so ron desantis signs legislation to combat hate crimes while
00:27:46.920
on trip to israel you may know ron desantis is the florida governor and he's done some cool
00:27:54.800
stuff in the past uh you know he's he said a lot of great stuff about fighting woke ism if i'm not
00:28:01.340
mistaken he has been responsible for um you know helping protect children from from the trans or
00:28:07.860
gay ideology if i'm not mistaken so he has some he has done some good stuff absolutely but when
00:28:14.020
it comes to this it's certainly a red flag um or it's like a white and blue flag it's it's some
00:28:21.240
sort of flag to what he's doing here. And that is infringing upon our freedom of speech.
00:28:29.440
If you follow politics closely from any sort of right wing perspective, any sort of conservative
00:28:34.840
perspective, it's becoming quite obvious that they are coming after our freedom of speech.
00:28:40.960
They don't like the fact that people can speak freely. Okay. Bill C-11 is a great example. Bill
00:28:48.420
LLC11 is essentially, hey, we want to control your algorithms.
00:28:53.220
We want to control your algorithms and control what you see on social media.
00:29:01.400
The same government responsible for all of these COVID restrictions and ruining our economy.
1.00
00:29:08.960
Everything they touch turns to liquid shit.
0.98
00:29:12.200
Yeah, let's have them get a hold of our internet.
0.99
00:29:17.840
yeah not going to be good but along with that that is this bill c11 is just just one bill they
00:29:24.320
want to pass others that have to do with online harms i'm pretty sure that this is a separate
00:29:30.280
bill coming but then again bill c11 if i'm not mistaken is is written so broadly that they might
00:29:36.900
be able to wedge in all of their all of their extra hate speech stuff um into this piece of
00:29:42.040
legislation hopefully not but the point is they are clearly coming after our freedom of speech
00:29:46.680
And you would think as a conservative, as a right wing minded person that, oh, my God, we got to get the libs out.
00:29:53.500
We got to stop the left wing. We got to stop the left. We got to stop these progressives.
00:29:57.740
We got to stop these crazy woke people. They're going to try and take our freedoms away. Right.
00:30:04.240
But here we have. Not just a conservative politician in the states, not just like a Republican governor in the states.
00:30:12.220
he's he's the one he's the one who's starting to put a actually we're gonna take some speeches
00:30:20.040
that we're gonna take some speech away there you're actually you're not allowed to say this
00:30:23.540
you're not allowed to say that you're not allowed to do this you're not allowed to do that that is
00:30:27.740
infringing upon the first amendment right that's that's infringing upon freedom of speech it's not
00:30:33.400
coming from the left actually turns out it's coming from the right turns out they're sneak
00:30:38.380
they're sneaking in a fast one um on the right and to bring this back to canada this is this is
00:30:45.480
this is really interesting this is really interesting i actually saw this at the time
00:30:49.880
and was thinking about making a video on it but i thought you know what now it's not the time
00:30:53.480
coincidentally right before the trucker convoy or sorry during i guess the trucker convoy february
00:31:02.420
9th 2022 bill c-250 is given its first reading i'm not going to get into the details but this is
00:31:11.520
this is really all we need to see here summary this enactment amends the criminal code in order
00:31:16.980
to prohibit the communication of statements other than in private conversation that willfully
00:31:22.500
promote anti-semitism by condoning denying or downplaying the holocaust i was going to make
0.88
00:31:29.680
a comedy video about this that essentially would go something like this hey are you worried about
00:31:35.840
the price of living crime going up are you worried about these these lockdowns you know
00:31:42.440
ruining society and your livelihood being taken away well as a conservative politician that's
00:31:47.920
exactly why we need to talk about the holocaust it's like what why are like right at the peak of
00:31:55.860
covid insanity with more and more mandates coming down they wanted to add inter-provincial mandates
00:32:01.720
by the way right before the uh right before the trucker convoy right as all of that's happening
00:32:06.220
this crazy crescendo of authoritarian crunching down on canadians especially unvaccinated canadians
00:32:13.020
the conservative party is like um we need to talk about the holocaust and anti-semitism
00:32:17.580
really is that is that really is that the really is that really the most important thing
00:32:22.920
on the minds of conservative canadians right now we have thousands of nurses out of work
1.00
00:32:28.700
paramedics out of work students who can't go back to school because they're unvaccinated
00:32:32.920
all sorts of despair and depression because of lockdowns because of the ongoing mask mandates
00:32:39.560
we need to talk about the holocaust what the hell is going on here what the heck is going on here
0.61
00:32:45.760
and for folks who might say hey they want to throw the anti-semite label at me hey you know
00:32:50.960
well, hey, I'm some white guy, you know, blonde hair, blue eyes.
00:32:54.980
I don't like this bill for the same reason I don't like the Islamophobia motion,
00:33:05.400
I don't want certain groups to have privileges.
00:33:10.380
I want that equality thing that we've all talked about.
00:33:13.220
Let's have equality where we can all equally criticize one another.
00:33:20.960
good hey maybe don't do that i don't like it when you do that you know i don't want the hey maybe i
00:33:25.120
don't do that to becoming oh well since i'm part of this group you're not allowed to say that i was
00:33:30.460
like i can't even criticize and another thing i explained this to my friend earlier today which is
00:33:36.800
when you write legislation you need to kind of assume the worst in people you need to assume
00:33:43.200
the worst in people and i mean that as in you need to assume that people might use a piece of
00:33:48.120
legislation or law to kind of finesse it and in a malicious way kind of use that law to their
00:33:55.880
advantage. So especially when you have something as broad as stopping getting rid of any communications
00:34:04.700
that willfully promotes antisemitism. What is antisemitism? And we can kind of answer that
00:34:10.800
question by looking at the legislation coming out of the states. And if it's anything about what's
00:34:16.600
in the States, it gets, it gets hairy really quickly. It gets hairy really quickly. And to
00:34:22.140
be fair, I agree with some of the things on this list that is defining antisemitism, but we're
00:34:26.820
going to get into the weeds here because I'm going to, I'm going to show you how problematic it gets
00:34:31.240
really, really, really quickly. So let me just bring this up on screen here. This is a list
00:34:36.500
of what's part of the, um, American, the American stuff that Ron DeSantis, uh, just signed in
00:34:45.400
Israel, right? He just signed this legislation to combat hate crimes. Specifically, it's about
00:34:49.880
antisemitism. And this is kind of an outline of the different things that is in there. I'm just
00:34:55.280
going to highlight the more, because some of these are, you know, they're very, very specific to
00:35:00.660
whether it's Holocaust denial, this one, you know, there's mentions of gas chambers and things like
00:35:05.420
this. But like, you know, let's look at the whole piece of legislation and how it can be really
00:35:09.680
problematic to speech, okay? Because that's what I care about. I care about people's free speech,
00:35:14.080
free to you know criticize others so if you go to the bullet points counting down one two three
00:35:20.300
four five six it is the sixth bullet point accusing jewish citizens of being more loyal to
00:35:28.060
israel or to the alleged priorities of jews worldwide than to the interests of their own
00:35:34.840
nations so it would be anti-semitic for me to suggest that a jewish citizen of america
00:35:44.020
is more loyal to israel than they are to uh americans that's that's that's crazy to me
00:35:52.480
that's crazy to me like like if i if i was born in jamaica and i said you know what i love jamaica
00:35:58.960
more than i love canada that would that would essentially be the equivalent and i'm sure you
00:36:03.760
could go around any country especially can't like any country with mass migration and i'm sure you
00:36:09.620
would get a lot of that i'm sure you get a lot of people who are like you know what canada's all
00:36:13.220
right but i think i prefer my home country of india i think i'm like more loyal i mean can you
00:36:18.920
imagine how many uh immigrants are here working here and they're just sending they're siphoning
1.00
00:36:24.360
all of their money that they're making here back to their home country i mean that's obviously
00:36:28.520
different because that's a like money transaction but it still sort of reflects the same thing
00:36:33.460
And just to kind of exemplify how absurd this point is by simply accusing a Jewish citizen of being more loyal to Israel or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide than to the interest of their own nations.
00:36:47.320
There is organizations that are sort of kind of like reflective of this very thing.
00:36:55.160
There's something called the World Jewish Congress.
00:36:58.200
And this is just on their about mission page to enhance solidarity.
00:37:05.760
and recognizing the centrality of the state of Israel
00:37:28.300
I don't think there's anything wrong with that, by the way.
00:37:39.300
My problem is when a law is being passed that if I were to point that out,
00:37:47.560
I would be getting charged for being anti-Semitic, Ron DeSantis.
00:37:53.280
This is, and of course, there's other things in here
00:37:55.920
that might be more agreeable on this piece of legislation about anti-Semitism.
00:38:00.520
But when something like that is in there, this is where it becomes an issue.
00:38:05.200
This is where it becomes a problem because, like I said, people could use this legislation to try and shut somebody up,
00:38:13.740
to try and simply say, hey, you know, you said something like this pertaining to somebody who's from Israel.
00:38:21.020
And, you know, this is a much, much, much, much, much, much, much deeper topic, as some of you may know.
00:38:26.880
But essentially, and again, I don't want to speak too much deeper on it because I don't know the specific stats and the facts and the blah, blah, blah.
00:38:34.240
But I can, if I'm not mistaken, like to kind of add how this becomes a huge sort of like just ball of string, ball of yarn to have this anti-Semitism bill floating out there where you can get, you know, called charged as being anti-Semitic.
00:38:49.560
if you just say someone, um, who's an Israel American, um, prefers Israel over America,
00:38:56.360
there is a massive, uh, like Israel lobby in America. And if I'm not mistaken, Israel is like
0.84
00:39:03.660
get some of the most, uh, foreign aid, uh, from America than any other country. So again, it's
00:39:10.140
like, it becomes like really kind of fuzzy when that is the case. And as I said before, if, Hey,
00:39:18.480
If you're an Israeli, you prefer Israel over America, that's totally fine.
0.99
00:39:23.960
I just don't think that I should be charged with anti-Semitism for saying that,
00:39:27.580
especially when you have an organization like the World Jewish Congress,
00:39:31.620
which basically that's part of their mission statement.
00:39:41.200
It hasn't been changed in a long time for a reason.
00:39:44.300
and um it's it's it's the president as well like the president the president that this sets um is
00:39:52.080
is is not a good one because who's to say that it might not introduce a another category of people
00:39:57.920
that are going to have privileges and have protections right um not a good president to
00:40:03.160
set and just to kind of bring it back to canada as well there are organizations like this as well
00:40:08.800
in Canada. This might not be the best one. This is CJ PAC. CJ PAC is a national independent
00:40:14.920
multi-partisan organization. Our mandate is to engage Jewish and pro-Israel, pro-Israel
00:40:20.320
Canadians. Is a pro-Israel Canadian more pro-Israel than Canada? I don't know. They're not pro-Canadian
00:40:28.060
Israel Canadians. They're pro-Israel Canadians. You see what I'm saying? I don't know what the
00:40:33.660
specific legislation here is in Canada, but if it's anything like the one that's being passed
00:41:07.980
And I'm sure my detractors, if they're watching, they'll try to say, hey, Greg wants Greg wants to be able to talk about Holocaust denial at the bus stop.
00:41:16.240
No, I do not. I do not care about that sort of thing.
00:41:25.080
And any like serious free nation should just be like, no, we're not going to do that for the same reason.
00:41:30.220
We're not going to prioritize protections for for Muslim Canadians.
00:41:34.220
We're not going to prioritize protections for, I don't have it with me, but I've talked about this before on the show.
00:41:42.020
It's the exact same thing as what Kristen Wong Tam is trying to do.
1.00
00:41:46.920
So Kristen Wong Tam is an NDP MPP, and she tabled a piece of legislation essentially saying,
00:41:53.560
we want to protect drag queens, we want to protect the LGBTQ+.
00:41:57.540
You will get fines $25,000 if you say something that is homophobic or transphobic.
00:42:03.240
this is exactly the same it actually might not be as worse because it's only a monetary fine and
00:42:09.480
it's not an additional charge but this is still bad news bears because this this is the opposite
00:42:15.980
of equality guys this is a hey we're going to start giving privileges to this group and to that
00:42:20.740
group and to this group and to that group it's it's became it creates an an unlevel playing field
00:42:26.900
and it breeds sorry but it breeds resentment it breeds people being like well why does that person
00:42:32.920
get more than this why does that person have protections why is this person have protections
00:42:36.420
and it's it's just not like to think that people won't take advantage of these protections is
00:42:44.940
naive these laws exist if those laws were to exist then people will be like you know what well you
00:42:49.960
can't criticize me you can't criticize me and guess what they'd be right they'd be right and
00:42:56.480
it's really not a step in the right direction i probably i hope i don't have to explain why this
00:43:01.680
isn't a step in the right direction but who else is talking about this who else is talking about
00:43:09.800
this quite frankly the people who talk about this have been banned off of social media big tech
00:43:15.800
social media you know a lot of them who have actually kind of like made a big stink about
00:43:20.440
this not all of them somebody who actually covers this very well in the states is anomaly anomaly
00:43:26.220
spelt with a zero instead of an o i highly suggest you check anomaly out he does fantastic work on
00:43:32.400
this subject um he's probably one of the only he's he's the outlier in terms of someone who
00:43:38.060
has actually been successfully being able to ring the alarm bells on this and not be banned off
00:43:42.560
social media it's anomaly but aside from that there's not many people obviously the official
00:43:48.240
opposition is not talking about this they're tabling a bill they're they're the one tabling
00:44:12.280
a lot of great things that I love about Jordan B.
00:44:37.980
This sets a bad precedent for speech in Canada.
00:44:48.840
that this sets a bad precedent for speech in Canada.
00:44:54.640
I don't think people should get fined if they don't use specific speech.
00:45:01.780
And my question, if Jordan Peterson, because I know you're watching, is why are you not being stubborn about this bill?
00:45:14.900
Because if I'm not mistaken, they speak to specifically Holocaust denial.
00:45:20.760
okay and like i said i'm not someone who likes to try and share a holocaust denial theories at the
00:45:26.900
bus stop okay however i do stand-up comedy and i like to mess around with jokes having to do with
00:45:34.000
history having to do with the future having to do with the present and sometimes that involves
00:45:39.900
hyperbole sometimes that involves absurdity like there is jokes there are comedians out there who
00:45:45.900
make jokes about how the holocaust never happened and guess what it gets laughs because it's funny
1.00
00:45:51.340
it's presented in a funny way and it's absurd blah blah blah but with this new bill it's like
00:45:56.960
hey you might get thrown in jail for joke it sets a horrible precedent because where does it end
00:46:02.320
jordan peterson if you're watching where would something like that end it is it is i know it's
00:46:07.420
very cliche at this point so it's a it's a dead horse to be beaten at this point but it is very
00:46:11.740
cliche to say um this historical event can only be talked about this way this historical event
00:46:20.620
can only be taught so what's going to happen next because i'm pretty sure this has already been this
00:46:25.860
term has been floated um the residential school denialism denying the residential school like
00:46:33.260
like mass grave uh theory and you know i'm not saying residential school blah blah blah didn't
00:46:39.880
happen in some capacity however you know here we are again is it going to be the same thing as the
00:46:45.040
holocaust denial if you say it's anything less than six million you are going to get fined or
00:46:49.860
you're going to get persecuted if you say it's anything less than 300 buried indigenous kids
00:46:54.600
you're going to get fined you're going to if you say it's anything less than you know three million
00:47:00.140
three billion people who died of covet 19 you're going to get this you see how it could easily
00:47:04.820
progressed to that place, there are people out there who want to be able to silence anyone they
00:47:10.480
want whenever they want. To think that this is about stopping hate, this is going to be the
00:47:15.920
rhetoric, hey, we need to stop the hate crimes. We need to stop all of this. It's a load of hooey.
00:47:21.020
It's a load of hooey. It's about controlling speech. It's about controlling people.
00:47:26.500
And we know this. A lot of us know this. If you're watching this, you probably understand that.
00:47:30.220
but once again it comes back to who is opposing this who is speaking up against this we have
00:47:36.780
someone like jordan b peterson who in the past has stubbornly stood up and says that sets a bad
00:47:41.280
precedent for speech in canada where is that energy now jordan where is that energy now mr
00:47:47.820
peterson where they're trying to table and pass a bill and they just passed it in the state of
00:47:53.260
florida where it's like hey if you don't speak specifically about this historical event you're
00:47:58.940
in trouble, that sets a horrible precedent. That sets a horrible precedent. But perhaps
00:48:05.020
Jordan B. Peterson doesn't have anything to say because he now works for Daily Wire. Someone else
00:48:09.720
who works at Daily Wire is Ben Shapiro, who is a massive Zionist, a pro-Israel person. Wait,
0.51
00:48:18.280
am I allowed to say that? Can I go to Florida anymore? Because Ben Shapiro is very pro-Israel?
00:48:25.640
see this see this is confusing already like like to say that oh i i can't say this that that he
00:48:32.400
that he champions israel and he champions his own people that's a good thing but me pointing that out
0.69
00:48:38.040
is is is illegal maybe i don't know it's it's it's very haze it's talking about it is insane
00:48:44.420
because it is insane it sounds like a total mess when it comes to legislating this writing the law
00:48:52.800
that makes sense and it should be thrown out in my personal opinion i had a conversation with my
00:48:58.160
friend today about this already and there is a reason speech laws have not changed in a long time
00:49:05.560
in free democratic societies we have because my friend was saying oh well what if this and like
00:49:10.200
you know people are allowed to just like you know target jewish people and both you can't do that
0.54
00:49:15.320
already. We have hate speech laws already. You cannot target violence towards a specific group
00:49:24.420
or a specific person through speech. You already can't do that. And that is a good line, I think,
00:49:30.140
to have in the sand. Guys, thank you so much for watching. Is there anything else we should get on
00:49:38.080
here? I think we pretty well covered the topic. It's a big topic, but it needs to be talked about
00:49:44.320
more because again it's it's it's our freedom of speech in this country that needs to be protected
00:49:49.380
because if that starts to get chipped away at then we're effed you know we are we're not in a good
00:49:55.980
situation and what makes it even scary as i said before like scarier than ever as i said before is
00:50:02.560
it's not just coming from the left it's not just crazy communists who are trying to censor us it's
00:50:08.520
also coming from the right it's it's creeping in here with first this anti-semitism bill and then
00:50:13.920
who who god knows what else they're going to be trying to do here and you know i think it is also
00:50:19.920
worth mentioning it is the fact that so many churches got burnt down in canada just the other
00:50:30.100
year like 71 different churches got burnt down um and of course this was in some sort of reaction
00:50:37.880
to uh the the residential schools and everything going on but i find it funny that after so many
00:50:45.920
churches burnt down in canada what do we see we we see the conservative party of canada
00:50:51.660
tabling this um anti-semitism bill and it's like you know not not not to play this card but it's
00:50:57.780
like you know how how many how many synagogues got burnt down recently was it was it 70 because
00:51:03.060
because 70 churches got burnt down in Canada recently.
00:51:09.080
You know, you want to talk about an ideology that is, like,
00:51:12.760
taking hold or, you know, causing buildings and places of worship
00:51:16.600
to be burnt down, then maybe that would be a good place to start.
00:51:22.920
I would not want some sort of law to, like, protect Christianity
00:51:33.500
no because that's just going too far in the other
00:52:01.220
