00:00:00.000 Hillier or Hillier? Hillier. Hillier. It is Hillier. I am here with the one and only Randy Hillier.
00:00:06.480 How are you today? It's day 16 of the Trucker Convoy. You've been here the whole time, have you?
00:00:10.240 I've been here most of the time. I did dodge out and go back home a couple nights, just recoup and
00:00:18.340 warm up and see the missus, see the family, but we're back at her again. I ask this to everybody,
00:00:25.020 but I'd love to hear your answer. What is this convoy about for you? What does this protest mean?
00:00:29.080 Well, there's only one thing. Freedom. So return to normal. Return to freedom. And there's
00:00:36.540 more to it than that. This is about Canadians waking up and realizing that we can't allow 0.59
00:00:46.200 a handful of the small fringe minority up on Parliament Hill to dictate our lives. And we
00:00:55.540 can't allow the bureaucracy to run and make all the decisions in our lives. And I think
00:01:02.340 that's why you're seeing such a polarizing element. You know, this convoy has brought a lot of people
00:01:09.580 together in Canada. A lot. A lot. And we see Trudeau still trying to use the politics of hate
00:01:16.080 and division to separate us. But what we can see here is hardworking, everyday blue collar Canadians
00:01:25.140 have said, we're going to take our lives back. We're not going to live in fear. We're not going
00:01:32.500 to cower underneath the bed covers and underneath the bed. You know, but we still see there are a
00:01:40.880 number of Canadians and mostly, you know, the woke, the woke pansies. Right. You know, 0.73
00:01:49.260 the people who have grown up and have been indoctrinated in with helicopter parents and
00:01:55.780 helicopter governments. Right. And who are just a fearful bunch of pansies. Yeah.
00:02:01.340 They want to stay hidden underneath the bed covers. Yeah. And the rest of the real hardworking Canadians
00:02:07.380 have said, this is all bullshit. Yeah. We can go out. This is what social distancing in Canada is 1.00
00:02:14.400 supposed to look like. That's right. Okay. And that's what it's going to look like. Absolutely.
00:02:18.440 So, and if you were one of those woke, coddled pansies, stay under your bed. We're going to live
00:02:24.480 our lives. Yeah. Keep your mask on. Yeah. But I was talking to some young men and they're
00:02:28.440 from rural Ontario. Yeah. And they said something very similar because I'm like, what's it like in
00:02:32.640 high school? And they're like, these people are afraid. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, afraid of the
00:02:36.380 virus? They're like, no, afraid of everything. Yeah. Afraid of everything. Yeah. Well, that's,
00:02:40.260 that's what we've been teaching. And it's no way to live. It's no way to live. Well, that's what
00:02:44.420 we've been, that's what our culture is becoming. Our public education system is, you know, it's too
00:02:50.320 dangerous to play football. You know, they have the no touch rule in school. Right. Yeah. We, we're not
00:02:56.780 allowed, when we play hockey, there's no checking. Yeah. You know, like that's bullshit. That's
00:03:01.320 a, that's not the way to grow up. Right. And I'm not watching the Olympics right now because
00:03:05.760 I'm watching Ottawa, but is it true they have to wear masks underneath their helmets or something?
00:03:09.980 Well, who would want to watch the bloody Olympics anyway? Not right now. You know, like this,
00:03:15.360 this is the real world right here. Yeah. The real world is happening at our border closures,
00:03:20.340 at the Ambassador Bridge, at Coots, Alberta, at Sarnia, Cornwall, Ottawa, Emerson, Manitoba. That's
00:03:27.680 where, that's where Canadians are standing up. And listen, there was nothing more warming and
00:03:34.440 nothing more demonstrative. So to see our veterans the other day. Remove the fence. They removed
00:03:44.700 an illegal obstruction that was trying to prevent Canadians from recognizing the valor and the
00:03:52.080 courage of our forefathers. Yeah. And the fallen. Yeah. And, and they, they showed them. Yeah. You
00:03:58.960 know. And, and in many ways this, this protest, this convoy is to uphold the chart of rights and
00:04:03.600 freedoms. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Same thing. We're taking that fence down, whatever fence they put up. Yeah.
00:04:07.660 It's uphold what, who and what Canada is. Yeah. And, and what we've seen is Canada, once again, is leading
00:04:14.840 the world for freedom. That's right. And I tell everybody, you know, this trucker convoy, you know,
00:04:23.180 it, it galvanized Canadians. And, you know, on the overpasses on all the highways coming here,
00:04:30.140 Canadians were out celebrating. And what we could see is the truckers were bringing
00:04:36.620 people, delivering hope to Ottawa. That's right. Delivering hope to Canada. And they've delivered
00:04:43.140 hope to the world. One trucker I talked to said he's bringing freedom back too. And he's, yeah,
00:04:47.580 and I know, I know they'll go the distance. They won't leave until they're bringing freedom home.
00:04:52.520 Absolutely. Yeah. And I want to talk about these, these politicians, these career politicians,
00:04:56.980 the conservative party, they essentially said, oh, we support the truckers. Actually, we heard what you
00:05:01.760 said now and now we want you to go home. When are you going to be satisfied? Well, listen,
00:05:06.080 we know most politicians in the morning, if they get out of bed, they go like this and
00:05:12.080 they look and see where, where the winds are blowing to see where the wind is going to take
00:05:16.840 them that day. Okay. So, you know, that's not a, that's not a leader. That's a follower,
00:05:22.560 you know, and why do we pay big money for people to follow this? Okay. Have some balls,
00:05:30.420 have some backbone, have some resolve, stand up and tell people who you are and what you stand 0.96
00:05:35.500 for. And, and take it like a man or a woman, like, you know, have some principles,
00:05:41.500 have some conviction and go and tell people what you stand for. Absolutely. Not, not which
00:05:46.700 was the last poll I heard. Yeah. And I want to thank you personally for being somebody who
00:05:51.200 has stood against mandates from the beginning. And you were talking about the COVID restrictions
00:05:56.180 from the beginning and you haven't wavered. So thank you for that. Listen, it was obvious
00:06:01.080 to me in April of 2020. I'll tell you, it's up on my website on March, the day after Doug
00:06:07.240 Ford enacted the emergency measures in 2020, March 17, I sent Doug Ford and the entire cabinet
00:06:16.980 a letter. It's up on my website. Anybody can read it. And I said, you know, you got to be
00:06:23.380 cautious about doing this because I know whenever a government takes things unlawfully from people,
00:06:31.440 they're dogs and they don't give it back. Okay. They're like a dog with a bone. Once they've
00:06:37.120 taken something from people, they won't give it back. And that's what I've been warning people
00:06:41.280 about since April of 2020. These guys will not give it back unless we make them. Right.
00:06:47.060 Is there any hope for these career politicians, these dogs, or do they just simply need to be
00:06:51.500 replaced with better Canadians? Well, that's to speak to the bigger problem about how our
00:06:56.940 representative democracy and our parliamentary system has broken down, become distorted, has
00:07:03.260 become dysfunctional. Political parties have far, far too much influence and control. And
00:07:10.220 you know, like until we have elected representatives who are not beholden to the party, who recognize
00:07:18.180 that their purpose is to represent their constituents at Parliament or at Queen's
00:07:23.620 Park. Not the other way around of representing their party to the people in their riding. Right.
00:07:29.780 Their brand. Yeah. Yeah. Like right now, our political parties have been predators on our
00:07:37.620 democracy. For sure. They have been predators and and we need to no longer be the prey. Right.
00:07:43.940 Right. And they, and they essentially just weaponize the issues. They use the issues to
00:07:47.940 modify it and just, just sell and get more votes. Right. But, um, I wanted to ask shortly,
00:07:52.900 you know, the trucker convoy, it's a, it's a big movement now and there's been these rumors.
00:07:57.540 And I think, I think it's actually proven that there are career politicians now associated with
00:08:01.780 the people leading the convoy. Should we be worried about, you know, who is leading the official
00:08:06.980 representatives of this convoy? Is that something to be wary of? Any comments on that?
00:08:10.340 Always be cautious. You should know who you're dealing with. Um, like this is, this convoy,
00:08:16.020 this free movement is far bigger than any individual. Correct. Yeah. Um, but, but be cautious.
00:08:24.500 Make sure you don't, uh, when you hear somebody who has flipped his tune today from what it was
00:08:31.380 yesterday, be cautious. Be cautious. Be cautious to somebody who was a political operative last week
00:08:37.620 in a, in a convoy organizer this week. Ah. You know, like be, you know, judge people by not
00:08:45.300 what they say, judge people by their actions. Correct. And, and if they are, hold true to their
00:08:51.780 actions. Um, so, you know, but that's, that goes for everything in life. Be cautious. Like there are,
00:08:57.300 you know, there are people who will take advantage of any situations. Pfizer is a good example.
00:09:02.420 Fauci is a good example. You know, Obama, uh, like Doug Ford increasing his net worth by,
00:09:10.420 by tens of millions. Yeah. There's all kinds of grifters out there in the world. Yeah. Um,
00:09:15.780 so be cautious before you go. A lot of people are feeling this Canadian pride that they haven't
00:09:19.700 felt in a long time. Absolutely. Oh, listen to see when the police moved in on the ambassador
00:09:25.620 bridge and people just stood there to see the people in Coots, Alberta, when the police moved
00:09:30.900 in, linked their arms. Yeah. Like, you know, this is the veterans for the veterans at the memorial.
00:09:36.420 Yeah. Like, you know, um, this is what Canada really is. And it, and you know, I think a lot
00:09:43.540 of Canadians were beaten down with the divisive rhetoric and, um, and hateful language of Pierre
00:09:49.540 Trudeau for the last number of years and, and the woke left. Um, but I, you know, I'm going to say
00:09:56.740 to you, Canadians have won. We've already won. We've already won. Just, you know, Trudeau's too
00:10:03.860 stupid and Ford's too stupid to realize that they've lost. They're too stubborn. No, I think 1.00
00:10:08.580 they're too stupid. Um, finally, any last words of encouragement to encourage Canadians to stand up 1.00
00:10:15.780 and be counted. Come on down, have some flatten your fear pancakes to hear that we're serving
00:10:20.500 up and some sausages. Um, you know, there's, there's opportunities everywhere in this country
00:10:26.260 for you to stand up and show your neighbors that you're a Canadian at every border crossing in every
00:10:32.580 provincial capital. There's all kinds of opportunities. Get off the couch, come on down
00:10:38.500 and show, show the world that you're a Canadian. Show them that you stand with our truckers.
00:10:46.180 And you're, you're no longer going to surrender your freedoms to that small fringe minority up on 0.90
00:10:52.980 part of Manila. Uh, Randy, are you a Russian asset? Oh, Randy, that's true. Randy, are you a Russian 1.00
00:11:00.020 asset? Did you plan this with Putin? Be honest, be honest. You know, it was really, really funny.
00:11:06.260 I've done interviews with American media. Yeah. I've done interviews with Russian media. Yeah.
00:11:11.060 The only media that doesn't want to talk to me is Canadian media. Wow. You know, and, uh,
00:11:15.940 propaganda. And I do a story with the Russian media and I'm a Russian asset now. So, uh,
00:11:23.460 you know, like, you know, it's hard to, you know, you'd think that you, you couldn't make up such 1.00
00:11:30.900 bullshit, but, uh, but our media can make up a lot of bullshit. Yeah. They're getting good at it too. 1.00
00:11:37.460 They're getting good at it. Thanks so much for your time. Hey, here. Put her there. Good to see you.
