00:01:27.680hi everyone oh little little therapy some anger therapy there Chris it's not a clip of bigger end
00:01:36.360of the week but it is a clip of what I was doing last week and of course I had to make a little bit
00:01:41.320of light out of it but that is the base store in the local village of stir valley the town that I
00:01:46.620was raised at it has been decrepit and and condemned for quite some time so part of my
00:01:52.280community service was 100 100 hours of community service and so my local rm group of men that uh
00:02:00.040that uh run the community uh asked me to tear the house down and uh that's what i've been working on
00:02:05.780the last little while so i had a lot of excavator therapy involved with destroying and demolishing
00:02:12.000a house and crushing it into small pieces loading in dump bins and hauling it away so
00:02:15.440uh that is just like just like our hopes and dreams right liberal government in canada
00:02:22.420oh you know i didn't get up to too much i had to go to ottawa for work and it was really no big deal
00:02:31.840did you set a few liberal minds on fire by chance oh my gosh i told you
00:02:39.760Yeah, I sure did. They are losing their minds over my work trip to the 4th of July Independence Day celebration at the U.S. Ambassador's House.
00:02:51.360So, yeah, I thought it was it was pretty funny watching all these heads explode.
00:02:55.220There's all over the place. People are mad. They are big mad.
00:03:00.520yeah i've seen some pretty uh high profile liberal muppets in this country uh you know
00:03:06.860like in political roles or ex-political roles that who were just a just just outraged because1.00
00:03:12.920miss smear leach got to go meet with the u.s ambassador like conversation in this country
00:03:17.700is basically over between left versus right there is only hatred between the two and i i don't know
00:03:23.940where this country went so wrong do you see it like i see it yes crazy it's absolutely crazy and
00:03:31.080of course you know there's consequences that come with that type of vial reporting or i wouldn't
00:03:36.340even call what they're doing reporting when they're doing that stuff you know like uh you and i talked
00:03:41.380and we're not getting into specifics but you know that there's been a serious threat made so we need
00:03:47.160to you know take precautions now you know going forward and that's what happens when people go
00:03:52.980off on hinge on the internet um and don't write the truth or speculate or you know always cast you
00:04:00.340as the villain i mean i've been called far ultra right this week more than i ever have been and
00:04:06.580that's the last thing i am i mean you know me very well i'm certainly not far right but because i
00:04:12.180went to a fourth of july party now i've also seen some criticism because i didn't uh i was working
00:04:19.460on albertans day or canada day at the whistle stop it's called albertans day we went and played there
00:04:24.660as you know very well know last week um for the july 1st celebration so there's people that are
00:04:30.100criticizing me for going to the fourth of july party but not wishing everybody a happy canada
00:04:35.140day i i wish happy canadian's day happy canadian's day but i i don't know about happy canada day i'm
00:04:42.580not sure there's too much to be happy about uh in that department but um so anyways yeah it just
00:04:48.660turned into a giant great big international incident again i guess i need to quit going to
00:04:52.740ottawa but too bad i have to go back on july 22nd you know you're flying over the target when you're
00:04:59.140taking the most amount of flack i uh i happen to be on uh i was scrolling through tiktok i think
00:05:04.020it was last sunday and this is a good achievement for me i'm quite proud of this and i'm not going
00:05:07.780to say this in a negative light at all but i i was following an account that's obviously far
00:05:12.900or left-wing, not on my radar, but I liked some of the content that this person was putting out,
00:05:19.020so I hit the like button on it. And I got a message from this person, I think it was last
00:05:23.100Sunday, something like that, saying, hey, could you come onto a live and defend yourself? Somebody
00:05:27.100who you stood with in Ottawa is making some pretty, you know, ridiculous claims. And so I0.95
00:05:33.840went in and listened to the Creepers Lounge for a little while until I got enough evidence and
00:05:38.080realized who the person was and some of the outlandish things that they were, you know,
00:05:41.820the conspiracy theories and stuff that this person was saying was pretty horrible and i
00:05:47.100answered the the live i thought this is either going to go really really bad or it's going to
00:05:51.400go really really good and i entered the live and i thought i don't have anything to hide i will go on
00:05:56.000this live and and just to you know discuss myself and this person was unhinged and completely
00:06:02.740outlandish and i i defended myself but but i had to go one step further when i was talking to this
00:06:08.460person and i had to make the point there was two sides to this movement there is the fringe minority
00:06:13.920and there's the cringe minority and this person is obviously part of the cringe minority and i
00:06:18.640want nothing to do with this person and i explained that and afterwards i kind of sat back and watched
00:06:23.920the live after i'd exited the room i and i listened to the you know the people that are against this
00:06:29.420the left-wing people talk about what i just kind of said in there and how i set the record straight
00:06:35.200saying, this is the Chris Barber that more people need to hear from
00:06:38.680because we lump them in with these radical right-wing people,
00:06:54.780It's never been about fighting left versus right.
00:06:56.700It's about having a conversation in the middle,
00:06:58.480and when you come at somebody with a, you know, like you've said in the past,
00:07:01.780when you come at somebody with a bad heart or hate in your heart,
00:07:05.200you're going to expect that in return and uh it's nice to take a step back and just
00:07:09.600you know circle around that yeah and i mean really i think that's such a great story because that's
00:07:14.760all we can really hope for is is hearts and minds right um it's it's really easy to take something
00:07:21.280that you read on the internet and believe it to be true but the fact of the matter is you know
00:07:25.780and most of these people don't know who we are and the other thing too about the trolls is most
00:07:30.720of them are just that they're just trolls they are trolls or they're bots or they just really
00:07:34.520have nothing better to do and you know let's talk about that for a second because i did see some of
00:07:39.720this stuff and some of this hateful stuff and i just thought oh it was that jean cunningham that
00:07:44.920i retweeted her post uh and the reason i retweeted her post and it just said something like they all
00:07:51.280do like you should be in jail or whatever um but in her in her profile it's like love and respect
00:07:57.200for all or something like that right and i thought yeah love and respect for all except for those
00:08:03.420people that you don't get along with and her reply was oh i see it touched a nerve and i didn't
00:08:08.320respond to it but i kind of laughed to myself first of all get over yourself stranger random
00:08:13.720stranger um i don't know you you're not going to touch a nerve second of all it's not real life
00:08:19.760twitter x social media is not real life and there is a lot of hatred and anger on social media
00:08:26.840but i can't walk through the ottawa airport i can't walk down an ottawa street i can't go to
00:08:32.980a fourth of july party at the ambassador's residence in ottawa without somebody coming
00:08:37.960up to me still and crying on my shoulder and thanking us for what we did that's real life
00:08:43.820it's the support that we continue to see all across the country um so i really get a kick out
00:08:49.800of these uh self-important self-serving uh trolls that think that their opinion matters to me and
00:08:57.080like i'm gonna stay awake worrying about what they think and they're like 25 followers i can
00:09:02.940i can almost see it i can see it coming before it happens they all they all start the attack
00:09:07.080they look for your attention then when you uh when you give them a bit of attention it's like
00:09:10.800oh i touched a nerve no i'm mocking you i'm literally laughing it out i see gerald in the
00:09:17.160comments yes i met your sister yesterday in saskatoon gerald it was awesome uh ran into her
00:09:22.380I had a little bit of leisure time on what I was trucking through to go visit my mother-in-law in a care home in, you know, for a little while.
00:09:30.360And she's suffering from dementia right now.
00:09:31.960And I got a little bit of time to go run around to us and do some stuff.
00:23:27.820I was trying to tweet and I was absolutely exhausted.
00:23:30.880I couldn't even mentally think by the end of the day
00:23:33.680when you're trying to follow what they're saying get out what they're saying without missing
00:23:37.840anything and then you got to go back and fix all your spelling mistakes and like it was great i
00:23:42.940don't know how you did it and you did such a good job and you know what a court stenographer or
00:23:48.040whatever they're called in the ontario court of justice who actually sits there and types
00:23:50.940everything really well they're paid like very low wages which is crazy wow because it's a very
00:23:55.980difficult job to do that i think someone told me 17 an hour or whatever minimum wage was i don't
00:24:00.840know maybe that's not all right but it wasn't glamorous so crazy stuff yeah it's hard but you're
00:24:07.080doing oh there you go uh john ended up rapidly becoming a self-taught expert in the legal yes
00:24:14.400in the legal lingo used in a courtroom he certainly did i'll tell you something christine that was
00:24:18.480really funny is that um for for the first part of the well the first initial part of the trial
00:24:23.260for those two and a half months we lived in quebec in uh we stayed in blue sea quebec and drove in
00:24:29.480And, you know, we'd go home after court and sit down to watch John's show or waited for his video to come on so that we could figure out what the hell happened in court that day.
00:24:39.200Because he explained it so much better than, you know, listening to the lawyers or the judges.
00:24:43.420Like, we literally raced home so we could catch his videos and know what the heck happened.
00:24:48.340So, no, Christine, Christine was my voice, my ears when it come to you during the surgery.
00:24:55.480so hats off to christine she was keeping me uh she was keeping me updated on how you're making
00:24:59.960out on the course of your surgery and then of course in your complications too so awesome job
00:25:04.760christine yes i love christine she's great also the nci in ottawa she worked on the nci for ottawa
00:25:12.520and some other stuff so she's a great person lovely top of the career is she going to be
00:25:17.160involved in the allison inquiry i would like to know are you yes yes she's heavily involved in
00:25:22.120that she's heavily heavily involved in the dean allison is it i think it is yeah he's an mp so
00:25:28.440he's uh he she's a she's a machine she's the person you want on your side like she is a worker0.89
00:25:33.320bee she gets her ducks in a row she's the most organized person i know and she does that while1.00
00:25:38.440managing her entire family she's like a smother hen with all the the you know all of her nieces0.99
00:25:44.200and nephews and her grandkids and her kids she's just a great woman there's so many people like her
00:25:49.160who were moved by everything that happened and it's just such a great person to point to and say
00:25:53.760that's that's one of us that's one of us that's what we're made of that's the kind of our crew
00:25:58.460is large our crew is large our community is big and uh yes yeah i see that every day yeah i mean
00:26:05.240the court work stuff was very difficult and very different than the stuff i had done originally
00:26:09.520which was just covering the protests people angry obviously with how things ended with ottawa
00:26:13.860the police coming in arresting everyone breaking everything up and for many people that was like
00:26:18.420greatest sense of community we had in our lives in many years especially with the covid lockdowns
00:26:24.100it was just such an amazing thing to be part of so it was very uh it was quite a loss when that
00:26:28.980was forcefully ended right so people never got closure and i just ended up becoming a guy
00:26:34.500documenting that and talking about it and participating it and then i transitioned to
00:26:38.500covering your guys's court as a natural follow-up to that and now i'm just kind of taking a break
00:26:42.420but i'm still here i'm still alive yeah yeah that's good that's good are you are you going
00:26:48.980to be going back in to do anything cover anything else anything else that interests you oh oh yeah
00:26:54.260i mean the country the story of the country is not over like we're just getting started yeah
00:26:57.460that's right there's so much happening there's so many laws that are scary being passed there's so
00:27:01.620much terrible stuff happening and that's what i really hate about this is that you spend your
00:27:06.260whole time just talking about bad stuff you never get to you don't really get a lot of opportunities
00:27:11.060to just talk about the great things because there's just so much the overwhelming amount
00:27:16.100of the stuff the government is doing is horrible and we have to talk about that and it just drains
00:27:20.100the soul my soul needed a big recharge still kind of does um but yeah definitely the job's not done
00:27:27.220yeah there's definitely so much going on and it does get so it does get so overwhelming you're
00:27:32.340absolutely right and uh like i said we have to take a break i think sometimes because i have my
00:27:38.020days too where i just have to walk away from my phone because it's just just too much negativity
00:27:44.020and that's one of the reasons chris and i have the show i mean here's our circumstances um but hey
00:27:50.260welcome to house arrest with chris and tamara you know we're gonna make the most of it and have a
00:27:54.580good time and you know talk about talk about you know our house arrest our sentence walk what is
00:28:00.420mock worthy and just share what the nonsense with everybody else and just yeah to keep it light i
00:28:06.180mean we do cover some heavy topics sometimes on the show but uh but we do try to keep it fairly
00:28:11.700light hey chris i like the days when it's just you and i shooting a breeze and telling our stories
00:28:17.220and going back on it and then of course i love it when you know we're non-political we just have
00:28:20.980john on for a conversation like these days are days so and then we get to you know my eyes are
00:28:27.700constantly going over this direction because the comment section on my screen here and i'm trying
00:28:31.700to keep up with all the positive stuff and and of course we've got an amazing producer in behind
00:28:36.500the scenes that just zapped trolls like a bug light in the middle of the night it's awesome
00:28:43.620yeah go ahead john oh sorry um i i it's been a while since i've done this so i'm not so good
00:28:51.620at the rhythm of the beep bop boop but uh yeah i'm not trying to cut in there but it's just like
00:28:58.100yeah i love what chris said earlier about how he turns these bad situations around man like that's
00:29:03.540that's what it needs to be and i love it i love like he was talking about talking to people with
00:29:07.380different perspectives too like why not but you know i wish that was a bigger thing it's just not
00:29:11.780unfortunately people are very divided but you need to still make the light where you can and
00:29:16.180i love that style about him and you of course very positive people and that's one of the many things
00:29:21.380that draws people to uh to you guys so strongly so well yeah i met you messaged me a week or so
00:29:27.220ago whenever that was just saying hey were you honestly in in that person's life and i was
00:29:32.900that's the person okay that's funny yeah one of them it's right into this comment that i wanted
00:29:39.020to touch on um by conga jewel here they love to see us suffer so instead let's rejoice and he's
00:29:44.900exactly right and that's one of the reasons why people are so pissed off about my appearance at
00:29:50.420this uh fourth of july party you know because they they want they think i should be broken
00:29:55.520and demoralized and miserable and like that's just not who i am and actually that's really what
00:30:01.840makes them uh the most upset chris is if we're not you know yelling and angry and sad or mad i
00:30:08.120mean we're just out here living our best lives under the circumstances that we've been handed0.97
00:30:11.680and people uh some people don't like that very much what what about a sad and pathetic life you0.82
00:30:18.220have to live to be that you know that that loathing and and hated you know the hate in their
00:30:24.140heart and you said it before when i look on their profiles when i'm looking at who i'm
00:30:28.540interacting with on a negative comment and it's like the the trans flag and the and all the love
00:30:34.220and of course you have to put the ukraine flag in there too but it's got to be you know before
00:30:38.380the canadian flag and you think these are the people you're promoting love and peace and unity
00:30:42.940but yet you're just just vile on the inside it's sad love and respect for all except for you and
00:30:50.620you and you and you and you too well i'm glad that you you had a great time and you don't let that
00:30:56.700bother you and i can imagine why that that's bringing so much so much uh animosity because
00:31:02.260people do want to see you suffering and they also don't want to see you in successful circles they
00:31:05.740don't want to see you rub shoulders with powerful people who have influence and of course the whole
00:31:10.420anti-american element comes in as well but that was that was that was fun to see that was good
00:31:14.740to see you guys you having fun over there i knew it would cause thank you yeah it was fun
00:31:20.100the american ambassador has a beautiful house i've never been there because i'm not i'm not
00:31:27.140special but but he has a house or she has a house that overlooks like the ottawa river it's a
00:31:32.840beautiful place it's a very special place that was given or the americans got that because of
00:31:38.000their close relationship and that's why she has such a beautiful property overlooking i'm sure
00:31:42.420they paid for it and all that but it is because of our relationship that we at least used to have
00:31:46.900but it's a beautiful place right you just see the whole ottawa river i don't know if you look
00:31:50.640that way but you can see parliament and i imagine you can see the river it's just gorgeous beautiful
00:31:55.220it's kind of down from from rito and sussex kind of thing or whereabouts it's just down the road
00:31:59.780so it's on the uh it's on the john cartier parkway i believe actually it's not on but it's just off
00:32:03.920of it and then there's a for the normal people going on the parkway you can see it on this big
00:32:08.720hill but then i'm sure there's another way to get in there and yeah but it's got a beautiful
00:32:12.980vantage point for sure absolutely gorgeous grounds if i can if i can get a selfie a picture with
00:32:20.680myself and donald trump together um and for the specific reason of making the left lose their
00:32:26.100absolute i'm sure if i could push a couple to a heart attack it would work but i'm not that
00:32:31.480vindictive but that would be my someday i would just like to get a selfie with donald trump
00:32:36.440just for the specific reason of just making the left lose their mind
00:32:39.860yeah i think if you just got a picture with a cutout it would do it i did that
00:32:45.000we did a chat gbt version of it here back a few months i put it online but of course they knew
00:32:52.060it was it was a ai generated one so it wasn't quite as good but one day one day yeah that's
00:32:58.760kind of funny actually one thing one thing that was really sweet is that you know there was all
00:33:03.760this backlash that came out um after following it anyways and so there was a bit of me that was like
00:33:08.400oh i hope i didn't cause uh you know the ambassador or his team you know any type of grief with
00:33:14.220because of all this i mean i've got reporters from new york times wants an interview all these you
00:33:19.740know everyone's talking about it or was um but his office his assistant uh actually called my boss
00:33:27.040to say they was they were happy i was there um that they would have given me a personal invite
00:33:33.740you know if i hadn't had an invite from work so they would they just called to sort of you know
00:33:38.640ease that and just say hey we're so glad tamara could come we appreciate her having or her come
00:33:43.300we appreciated having her there etc etc so um so that made me feel a little bit better well i mean
00:33:49.720i didn't feel bad i just was worried that they were going to face some of the backlash too
00:33:53.280chris and i are so used to this it's like water off a duck's back but you know it's sometimes the
00:33:58.080people um that are there's the shrapnel sometimes so i'm just happy ambassador is used to a lot of
00:34:06.480a lot of that oh yeah so yeah that's his entire life i just yeah you're right there's something
00:34:11.760about poking the bear that just and just even the fact that tamara poked the bear and i didn't have
00:34:15.520anything to do with it it's second hand though it's still matriculated to you it came down to you
00:34:22.640you got some of in your comments what were you talking to the american ambassador about
00:34:28.400barber like i wasn't even there probably you know i was nervous now uh john is that i'm coming to
00:34:36.560court obviously on january or sorry july 22nd to apply for a variation order so that i can leave
00:34:42.240the country for work and so i was just kind of chuckling to myself today uh when i was talking
00:34:48.000about chris about another matter because i'm like well now i have to go to court because i was just
00:34:51.840going to be like hey you know i've been traveling all over and there's been no incidents
00:34:55.680currents could cross the border for work there's no incidents but now i sort of have an incident so
00:35:00.720hopefully that won't uh that won't hurt me in in the variation order it wasn't your incident it
00:35:06.000was just yeah that's right yeah well i know i actually i even booked an extra day there for
00:35:12.560court because um the hearings should only take probably an hour and a half but i said you know
00:35:18.400how our hearings are never they always turn into a two-day forty thousand dollar spectacle so you
00:35:25.040know i gave myself an extra day it'll be perkins mcveigh yeah okay all right yeah cool she's nice
00:35:31.280it's too it's to amend conditions to her order so it will go in front of her so yeah that's fine and
00:35:36.720she i i think she's fair enough yeah i'd like to sit down have a beer with her someday just sit down
00:35:42.400and shoot the breeze and have a beer with perkins mcfay and just i remember one time uh well hopefully
00:35:49.920the police don't take that they're wrong oh what you want to have a beer with her he's a nice guy
00:35:58.000i'll tell you how this like i remember one time we had like a fire drill there i don't think it
00:36:01.280was during your hearing or something we all got evacuated and there she was just outside in the
00:36:05.440middle of the thing i didn't even talk to like sometimes you see like you just try not to
00:36:10.640acknowledge them at all because it's like they have to maintain that that gap you know you don't
00:36:15.280go and talk even though you're interested in them as a person you're like wow you must have a great
00:36:18.720story you must like how did you end up doing this or something you just don't want to do that to
00:36:22.800people like that i remember that day i walked into the i walked into the courthouse fire alarms are
00:36:29.280going off and i walked out on the front there i'm like oh my gosh there's the judge that's
00:36:32.640going to sentence us someday and i kept my distance because of course i respect that so
00:36:38.000you just don't go near them yeah yeah you know you see them they're just normal people they just
00:36:42.320like whatever but it's it's interesting that we live in a society like this especially with our
00:36:46.640divides and everything where you can't even have normal conversation i'm sure you probably could
00:36:51.200never really talk to a judge though honestly you could probably especially has the especially as
00:36:55.760the person on trial you can never just go after the trial after the day of trial just be like all
00:36:59.760right let's go get a beer no you can't do that yeah that's right yeah i i totally get what he
00:37:04.640means though i mean our trial we hadn't been too far into it when i was like i really like you
00:37:10.960you know just because she's such a hard ass and uh she's very direct which i really like i just
00:37:16.560yeah she's she has her own way and i'm sure she's uh probably on a personal level not pleased that0.94
00:37:22.080you're appealing and not pleased that the crown's appealing because judges don't like getting
00:37:24.800appealed like i made the right decision and everyone's gonna live with it but you know
00:37:29.520that's just kind of how it is i imagine i'm not a judge but it's gotta be yeah go ahead your
00:37:34.800perspective uh i noticed that i noticed a change in attitude in in the judge when the liberals were
00:37:40.800re-elected in april did you notice that i felt something there i don't know maybe maybe there's
00:37:47.120like this greater societal trend where people are like okay no one really cares about this as much
00:37:51.840anymore and maybe we don't need to do this but i i really think she probably made the decision
00:37:56.240she was always going to make to be honest she's just good at hiding her cards and she she doesn't
00:38:01.200she doesn't reveal her her thinking at all but she was very direct there was times where i was like
00:38:05.680well okay well you know you can't predict it with someone's thinking though you know it's just not
00:38:09.600possible that's right yeah yeah especially not in a courtroom i was very shocked with what happened
00:38:16.160in fact are you guys uh conditions your sentence ends at the same time i thought he had to do a
00:38:21.280bit more yeah i've got time served so mine is over my sentence will be complete on january 21st
00:38:29.200and i think chris this is the end of april right chris 74 days after oh wow 74 days after okay i
00:38:35.920thought it was like uh april 7th or something like that but we'll see is it are 24-hour curfews up on
00:38:42.800october 7th right is it actually one year to the house arrest as october 6th yes because we were
00:38:49.840sentenced on october 7th so the house arrest will be up on october 6th and then we'll have the rest
00:38:55.840curfew and and like you know we've talked about this before i really got to look into it now i
00:39:00.160don't think it's going to be quite as onerous being on a curfew i think i mean maybe we'll
00:39:06.800we still have to ask permission to leave the province but go ahead nox if sorry to interrupt
00:39:15.280but if if past uh indications or anything you might get middle of the night knocks by the local
00:39:20.880pd uh to make sure you're at the house that's right or wherever we're staying oh yeah i've had
00:39:26.480two visits oh you've had two well you have as well no i have not no oh i'm sure that's coming
00:39:33.440uh i guess it's weird everyone i've heard that happening to was in alberta so i guess maybe in
00:39:37.680alberta local left the police is very uh like i don't know it seems like a punishment in itself
00:39:43.840to come at like two or three in the morning because they know you're there more or less
00:39:46.960i've always the members that i speak to around the area here i've always just kind of said if
00:39:52.360you guys are going to come do a curfew check please call my phone like my house phone you
00:39:56.240know it before at the driveway if you have to i've got two big intimidating dogs and my yard
00:40:01.340is blacked out at night for for a specific reason of security so if somebody's trying to sneak into
00:40:06.800my yard to do something silly i can see them but they can't see me and uh and they've all been
00:40:12.900really good so they uh i haven't had a visit yet i'm not saying that won't happen but uh you know
00:40:19.700it is what it is i'm not like tamara said earlier we're in her 50s now 10 o'clock comes around and
00:40:24.980i'm ready for bed and i'm usually sleeping somewhere that's right it's not a punishment
00:40:29.540to be home but three a.m knock on the door might be a little annoying though and i know like one
00:40:34.340person too it was happening to quite frequently at least yeah yeah he was definitely getting her
00:40:39.780rat he was getting picked on for sure without a doubt so hopefully hopefully uh when you guys
00:40:44.100switch to curfew that's not the same occurrence but who knows um anyways i'm just glad that you
00:40:48.980guys are so positive and that you guys made house arrest and i wanted to be on it much earlier
00:40:53.300it's just that you know what what episode is it now like 60 i feel like it's 30 ways
00:40:59.46038 or 39 maybe yeah and it should say somewhere on here it should say in the title i don't know
00:41:06.900where it is but anyways yeah um yeah it has been so enough to birth a baby almost 30 38 months
00:41:16.74038 weeks i mean yeah yeah well i mean you needed to have some time to recover for sure
00:41:24.100and so we totally got that yeah but it's great to be on and i really enjoy uh coming here and
00:41:29.940talking to you guys because like you said i we're good friends and it's it's always nice to see you
00:41:33.780guys especially to see you so positive after everything that's happened because it's been
00:41:37.700such a ride and i feel like i've gone through something with you almost you know i feel like
00:41:41.700i was kind of right there you know there we were in the same boat but i was like right there watching
00:41:47.700it happen and it was kind of 36. yeah obviously you're gonna take the summer kind of chill out
00:41:53.940and relax a little bit and get better and then maybe start some work in the fall how uh yeah
00:41:59.700and then maybe an opportunity for a better job in the fall yes i can't wait to there's so many
00:42:05.700people out there that miss your reporting i know everybody needs a break from this sort of stuff
00:42:10.660but you know highly consider getting into that because man you're like a lot of the legacy media
00:42:15.620people were even looking up to you because you were getting the views you're probably getting
00:42:18.420more views than they were for carrying a lot and they're paid government sometimes sometimes yeah
00:42:23.700yeah sometimes i'm surprised like rebel or you know somebody hasn't snapped you up as a
00:42:29.380as an independent journalist or something like that you probably had offers right
00:42:33.780no oh yeah one but when my when my dad died not from them though when my dad died um before he
00:42:40.820was when he was getting sick and i was making the youtube videos there was a lot of um a lot of
00:42:45.620traffic a lot of momentum unfortunately that kind of dissipated afterwards but like it was intense
00:42:50.740at one point like there was quite a thing there and uh like when you have it you have it but at
00:42:56.020the same time there is a luck element involved as well and then there's also the thing like i don't
00:43:00.900want to talk about things that everybody else is talking about and i don't want to be negative like
00:43:05.300i need more positivity in the world you know that's i want to do something different so it's
00:43:09.300going to take some time to think about it but i'm not done yet like this light you're seeing on me
00:43:12.740like i bought this light this light's expensive well it's like 200 bucks but it's big so it's
00:43:17.620was here for something i got to use it eventually that's right i got new walking legs so i have some
00:43:24.400other miscellaneous medical things happening like they finally got to the bottom of my sleep apnea
00:43:28.160it's terrible so that's great that's happening you know everything is going pretty good for me
00:43:32.560so i feel like i got a new life ahead i'm excited awesome yeah good tamara's got a good situation
00:43:38.820going chris has got his trucking i love this truck it's so beautiful and i'm sad that when
00:43:42.640he brought it here i never got to see it oh i never saw it during the protest or anything i
00:43:46.980just heard oh no it's a beautiful truck no i had to be pretty careful when i was out there shoot
00:43:51.580and uh you know i i had a specific place i had to be and uh but yeah that's too bad i didn't get to
00:43:56.880run into you there i uh i gotta be careful barry murphy you did meet barry murphy and i was actually
00:44:02.560talking to him tonight he's a great guy where was that murphy barry murphy you met him at biker's
00:44:08.360church probably oh okay gotcha he's very distinguishable you'll you'll know him when
00:44:13.780meet him he's just one of these many good samaritans that we just have in this orbit that
00:44:18.660are just such great people and i was also talking to candace tonight we all know candace yeah great
00:44:22.900woman talked to her for like an hour on the phone she was telling me about her chickens and we were0.99
00:44:27.060talking about the uh the lemonade stand business because she used to be a lemonade she used to work
00:44:31.700in those giant openable lemons and we were talking prices on those things and they're quite expensive
00:44:37.300i was like wow really that much you know that they have their own reminder we should probably
00:44:41.540think about getting candace on the show too to tell her yes anybody's aware of it candace zero
00:44:48.340was uh ran over by the toronto police horses in in freedom conway and uh she's had some surgeries
00:44:54.260now because of it a lot of damage to her upper body on that of course she was in a locker and uh
00:44:59.700candace quite frequently watches the show you'll see her in the con in the comments section there
00:45:03.460so hopefully while they're candace we'll definitely need to get her story out there's so many stories
00:45:07.860to get out how do you work through them all exactly how can this is we're gonna add a second episode
00:45:14.500i'm just so grateful that i have relationships with people like that you know like barry i met
00:45:18.340him at the castleman camp at this great guy there was a guy by the name of chet wiggins who owned
00:45:23.060some property out in castleman ontario area unfortunately he's now passed away and his
00:45:27.700his farmhouse burned down and someone was lost in that fire just so much tragedy on top of tragedy
00:45:33.380but it was he opened up his property to people who you know they represented an intention whether
00:45:39.220they had it or not you know and he was good to them and kind of maybe he got the raw end of the
00:45:43.380deal there there was some cleanup needed at that place but long story short great guy did that
00:45:48.660that's where well yeah it was actually came out to there and even daisy went out that's right yeah
00:45:53.460i think i donated some money to you guys for that too i think like yeah yeah there was a
00:45:57.460cleanup call to action oh it was bad yeah that's right rancid but you know whatever the case was
00:46:03.380And then Chad, unfortunately, became very seriously ill just last year, I believe it was, and then finally passed away.
00:46:10.320I was able to visit him before he died, which was very special, which is good.
00:46:15.060And I met people like Barry Murphy through that, who was, I think, at the convoy also, but was at Chad's farm giving stuff away as he is.
00:46:21.520And other people just like him, right?
00:46:23.140So many of these kind of Barry Murphys.
00:46:25.820And Barry, I'll say this, since my surgery, like Barry calls me every, you know, few times a week.
00:46:30.520He's one of the people I have contact with.
00:46:32.200so he's a good guy he's a nice guy trucker out there in the kingston napany area driving dump
00:46:37.060truck good guy you know one of these true and blue canadians there so good him and he's always with
00:46:42.560candace right him and candace go for lunch at the place so i get to know about what's what's going
00:46:46.960on with candace and all that so that's always cool right oh great no kidding these communities
00:46:51.520we have a great community you're absolutely right i was parked in roster in saskatchewan last night
00:46:58.800You know, obviously unloaded in PA, and I was a little nervous about parking in PA for the night.
00:47:02.600Obvious reasons there, if you've been to PA.
00:47:05.960But Rostern, nice little community there.
00:47:08.600And the parking lot was just a revolving door of people coming in to say hi and seeing Bedrid sitting there.
00:47:13.640I met a couple that were there with us in Ottawa that were from Rostern and got a few insights from different people that had perspectives and different stories, according to Ottawa.
