00:00:00.000 well joining me now is francis widdowson one of the commentators academics and politicians caught
00:00:06.220 up in this entrapment scheme orchestrated all the way up to the top with the cbc and aptn
00:00:12.620 francis can you take us through how this whole process started and how how they lured you in
00:00:18.980 to this scheme so i was uh contacted by a person by the name of pam gibson who i believe her name
00:00:28.420 Miss Molly Gore, her actual name. She's connected to the States and this Vamos, this Igor Vamos.
00:00:35.360 She sent me an email saying she would like to interview me as part of a docuseries. She said
00:00:41.700 a whole bunch of things that I was interested in, such as free speech and universities and
00:00:46.100 trying to have a more objective understanding of history. And this resulted in them flying me to
00:00:51.320 vancouver and putting me up in a hotel i uh was taken in a car to the studio i didn't even know
00:00:58.880 where this was and uh i thought it was a bit strange when i arrived there because they were
00:01:05.920 all very overly friendly and uh there was a johnny mcdonald they told me there was going to be an
00:01:11.960 actor dressed up as johnny mcdonald because it was going to have a theatrical side to it
00:01:17.560 And then when I went in, there was a woman in a blonde wig who looked odd, very, you know, made up. And that was Dakota Ray Hebert, who's a Saskatchewan comedian. But I didn't know that at the time. I thought this was a legit documentary.
00:01:36.140 they gave me a whole bunch of softball questions which i thought were not very knowledgeable about 0.59
00:01:42.020 these subjects and then about half an hour in two aboriginal men walked in i thought they were
00:01:48.200 sabotaging the interview uh gets crazy boy and um moccasin ryan moccasin i found out later i didn't 0.61
00:01:58.220 know who they were and they dumped a pile of shoes children's shoes on the table in front of me
00:02:03.980 and I thought they were sabotaging it. But then Dakota Ray Hebert was glaring at me with absolute
00:02:12.260 hatred in her eyes. So I knew this was part of the whole thing. There were many, many people
00:02:17.680 in this studio. It was a big setup, over 10 people. And then I wanted to film this. I didn't
00:02:25.480 have my bag with me. So I said, I need to take my medications. Can you please bring me my bag?
00:02:31.660 And they brought me my bag and then I whipped out my smartphone and started to live stream what was going on and started to interrogate who turned out to be Igor Vamos, who's the head of the Yes Men. And he told me it was a social experiment and all these kinds of things.
