Louder with Crowder - EXCLUSIVE Interview: Freedom Convoy Trucker LIVE From a Ditch in Ottawa! | Louder with Crowder

00:00:00.000 But you can talk to me, things won't be the same with me, nothing will.

00:00:05.000 Louder with Crowder is brought to you in part by Crowder.com.

00:00:26.000 Now after Blacko Mugscabar made his point to the SPLC loud and clear, YouTube decided to enlist the help of some

00:00:32.000 unexpected allies.

00:00:34.000 allies.

00:00:35.000 See, they needed private companies to do their bidding, free from the constraints of a non-profit organization.

00:00:41.000 So what better than one of the largest entertainment corporations in the world?

00:00:45.000 If Blacko sent a message, YouTube decided that it was time to send one back. 0.99

00:00:52.000 What the fuck is this? 1.00

00:01:07.000 I'm the one who ordered this, you're the one who made me do this, and you're the one who did this! 1.00

00:01:22.000 My father was a sailor.

00:01:23.000 He was a sailor.

00:01:29.000 He was a sailor.

00:01:30.000 More clubs in Vienna, Casino Pier,

00:01:34.000 America Cubano.

00:01:36.000 At the core, Viennese Mano,

00:01:40.000 Avocado Mixed.

00:01:42.000 Hey.

00:01:44.000 Eso fue una... ¡GALERÍA! 1.00

00:01:47.000 ¡SICOLES! 1.00

00:01:49.000 ¡TABARNAK! 0.99

00:01:50.000 In middle corners!

00:01:52.000 I'm going to be a little bit more careful here.

00:02:20.000 Oh, yeah. 0.99

00:02:21.000 you You're supposed to be dead. 1.00

00:02:40.000 Jihari Ban, he killed you. 1.00

00:02:42.000 So I've been told! 0.98

00:02:44.000 I've been told!

00:02:46.000 you How did you...?

00:02:50.000 Your preservation of Mug Club in my absence is much appreciated.

00:02:56.000 All your tremendous work has not gone unnoticed.

00:03:00.000 Even Brandon. 0.97

00:03:02.000 You're dead.

00:03:03.000 I had to take over. 0.99

00:03:04.000 I had to take charge.

00:03:07.000 Tell me, Blacko. 1.00

00:03:10.000 Do you feel in charge?

00:03:15.000 I missed it!

00:03:17.000 The scent of fear!

00:03:20.000 Of intimidation!

00:03:23.000 It is palpable!

00:03:28.000 But it is misplaced!

00:03:31.000 I've returned!

00:03:32.000 Not as an adversary!

00:03:36.000 But an ally!

00:03:39.000 A liberator!

00:03:42.000 I've heard of your conflicts with the SPLC.

00:03:48.000 Of the false DMCA's from the Rodents.

00:03:52.000 Of your run-ins with the glorified Latinx at Vox. 1.00

00:03:59.000 I have it under control.

00:04:01.000 No, Blarco.

00:04:04.000 That is merely a delusion.

00:04:06.000 Though I appreciate your zeal, Holmes, my cockles.

00:04:16.000 There are far more sinister forces afoot than even you realize.

00:04:22.000 But hear this promise.

00:04:25.000 If you follow me, I will lead you and restore Monk Rob to its former glory.

00:04:34.000 And together we will fight!

00:04:38.000 We will win!

00:04:40.000 And we will restore Monk Club to a power the likes of which YouTube has never seen.

00:04:49.000 And we will restore Monk Club to a power the likes of which YouTube has never seen.

00:04:54.000 You're a strange animal, that's what I know.

00:05:12.000 You're a strange animal, I come to follow. 0.98

00:05:19.000 You're a strange animal, I come to follow. 0.94

00:05:32.000 Cold front coming here through Texas and basically everywhere.

00:05:37.000 So we actually feel a kinship with a guest we're going to have on the show today.

00:05:41.000 Big, big day.

00:05:42.000 B.J.

00:05:42.000 Dichter.

00:05:42.000 That's his actual name.

00:05:45.000 BJ Dichter is one of the members of the trucker convoy for Freedom over there in Canada.

00:05:50.000 We have him live on the ground.

00:05:52.000 The reason we're late today is because he actually drove off in a ditch because their roads were a little sleety and naily.

00:05:59.000 So, looking forward to having him on.

00:06:00.000 We have a lot of other stories to get to.

00:06:02.000 But yeah, showing some support with our Canadian brethren here.

00:06:04.000 We're all wearing our toques.

00:06:06.000 Dave, control room, even Gerald. 0.97

00:06:09.000 I hate every one of you right now.

00:06:10.000 Well, you know what?

00:06:12.000 We don't necessarily have a Jim Henson budget here.

00:06:14.000 No, listen.

00:06:15.000 You handed this to me first and there was a full bin behind you.

00:06:18.000 You did this to me!

00:06:19.000 That's what it is.

00:06:20.000 It's a nice snook toque.

00:06:26.000 Dictor help! 1.00

00:06:27.000 Damn near killed her! 0.99

00:06:28.000 So, oh, jeez, come on. 0.99

00:06:30.000 Let's not make fun of the man's name.

00:06:31.000 Oh, I gotta lift my... I'm not!

00:06:33.000 It's just that it's messing with the seal on my... It's the er at the end.

00:06:36.000 It's not his fault.

00:06:37.000 Alright, I'll do it this way.

00:06:38.000 No way, it's so comfy.

00:06:40.000 And before we move on with everything else, by the way, if you want us to continue Mug Club, let us know down below.

00:06:44.000 And it's a live show Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.

00:06:47.000 I know today we're late.

00:06:47.000 Eastern.

00:06:49.000 But YouTube notifications, subscriptions don't always work, so if you miss us here on YouTube, go to Rumble, go to Mug Club, where today we have a full additional hour, including some Neil Young songs which could never be played on YouTube.

00:07:02.000 And yeah, Mug Club, consider joining up. 0.94

00:07:04.000 That's the only way we make, because YouTube doesn't pay us nothing.

00:07:08.000 So my question is, how much do you know about the Canadian convoy going on?

00:07:11.000 That is the question of the day.

00:07:13.000 A lot of Americans don't necessarily know how important it is, how much it affects you here, and of course now when we see Facebook removing similar groups in the United States.

00:07:21.000 Just took a twenty-something percent nosedive, they're stuck.

00:07:24.000 Twenty-five percent.

00:07:25.000 So you take the wins where you can get them.

00:07:26.000 Whoopie's gone!

00:07:28.000 Facebook taking a nosedive, and let's take another win here.

00:07:32.000 Look, I don't care who's running the country as it relates to this, whether it's former Vice President Joe Biden or President Harris, President Donald Trump, the leader of ISIS, Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi, I hope I'm getting that right, was killed in Syria. 0.93

00:07:50.000 Yeah, that's what people will be upset about.

00:07:52.000 Like, well, you didn't get his name right, was it? 0.98

00:07:54.000 Okay, you know what, fine, I'll check my white privilege when he stops banging six-year-old girls. 0.99

00:07:57.000 How about that? 0.97

00:07:57.000 Putting 83 octaves in your name. 0.97

00:07:59.000 Yes.

00:08:00.000 I don't have the back of the throat spit enough because we're all a little bit sick.

00:08:05.000 So the Pentagon stated that, if we're trusting what the Pentagon says, that the man actually triggered a bomb, which killed himself and, unfortunately, 13 civilians, including four women and six children.

00:08:17.000 casualties.

00:08:17.000 No U.S.

00:08:18.000 Look, look.

00:08:19.000 Well, first off, hey, you know what?

00:08:21.000 This guy's dead.

00:08:22.000 So take that win.

00:08:24.000 America.

00:08:24.000 Good on you, America.

00:08:25.000 Yeah!

00:08:26.000 Woo! 0.99

00:08:27.000 Oh yeah.

00:08:28.000 Okay, bye.

00:08:34.000 I feel like another one bites the dust would have been appropriate as well.

00:08:37.000 Sand.

00:08:38.000 Another one bites the sand!

00:08:41.000 You would with that hat.

00:08:42.000 You just play the Lawrence of Arabia theme.

00:08:44.000 Another one bites the pillow.

00:08:45.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:08:48.000 Thirteen civilians killed, four women, six children.

00:08:50.000 Look, this is terrible, obviously. 0.99

00:08:51.000 A coward. 0.99

00:08:53.000 And I think it's also a testament to when people say the United States is just as evil as these other countries. 0.99

00:08:58.000 Look, the United States, obviously, I don't think we should police the world.

00:09:00.000 I'm more of a non-interventionist.

00:09:01.000 I don't believe in most of these foreign wars.

00:09:03.000 You guys know that pretty well.

00:09:04.000 But when was the last time you heard Or you've heard of a general.

00:09:09.000 Do you remember Patton blowing himself up and taking out six kids?

00:09:12.000 Yeah.

00:09:13.000 That's not something we do.

00:09:13.000 MacArthur?

00:09:15.000 Let's not act as though there's a moral equivalency, okay?

00:09:18.000 This is a man who cares so little about the people for whom he's fighting that he killed them. 0.99

00:09:23.000 He killed them in a coward's way out. 0.99

00:09:25.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:09:25.000 It was Mohamedy Lee.

00:09:27.000 Yes.

00:09:29.000 I prefer Mohamedy Lee Ermey.

00:09:29.000 That's not true at all.

00:09:31.000 No.

00:09:33.000 Yes, yes I was. 1.00

00:09:34.000 Look, this guy, if he's like, alright I'm about to die, you know, here's your options, go out and fight, which I don't want him to go out and kill American troops, don't get me wrong, I'm glad that he didn't take anybody of our side with him, that's the win, but you just killed six women and children, four children on top of that, I mean, go outside and blow yourself up, asshole, I'm sorry! 1.00

00:09:56.000 It's not about killing women and children! 1.00

00:09:58.000 It's about ethnicity! 0.65

00:09:59.000 Oh, it is?

00:10:00.000 Okay.

00:10:00.000 Thank you, Whoopi.

00:10:01.000 It's not about race, child.

00:10:02.000 You're sounding a little roomy to me.

00:10:04.000 I'm hearing your echo.

00:10:05.000 It could just be because my hat is ruining the seal on my hat.

00:10:07.000 I think it is.

00:10:08.000 So, yeah, look, that's a good thing and I think we want to be consistent.

00:10:10.000 Look, like when Rush Limbaugh got into all this trouble, God Rest his soul, he said, you know, I want Obama to fail.

00:10:17.000 People said, you want it?

00:10:18.000 No, he didn't want America to fail.

00:10:19.000 He wanted Barack Obama to fail in implementing his policies.

00:10:22.000 I don't want America to fail.

00:10:23.000 If America is going to fight ISIS, I want us to fight them and win.

00:10:27.000 I just don't think that Americans have the stomach for war anymore.

00:10:30.000 If you're going to go to war, you only go into war to win, to destroy people, break stuff, and reap the spoils.

00:10:36.000 This is the problem here. 0.50

00:10:38.000 Good thing he's dead.

00:10:39.000 Don't necessarily know what we're doing at this point.

00:10:41.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:10:42.000 Is anyone else sort of... is that fair?

00:10:44.000 And the timing to me seems just a little weird.

00:10:47.000 I'm not saying that this had anything to do with it, but Biden is looking for every possible win he can get right now, and so I'm just wondering, like, okay, why now?

00:10:54.000 And it totally could have been legit, like, totally legit.

00:10:57.000 Totally fine.

00:10:58.000 I thought you were implying that Zucker or Stelzer at CNN called, like, this was supposed to be on a Friday!

00:11:02.000 We need to bury it! 0.94

00:11:03.000 Blow yourself up! 0.98

00:11:04.000 He's defecting! 1.00

00:11:06.000 I had sex with somebody and I'm resigning now because of you! 1.00

00:11:10.000 He's blowing himself up just with Little Debbies. 1.00

00:11:12.000 Yes!

00:11:15.000 It's a different blow up.

00:11:17.000 Like that Hostess Twinkie commercial where the shark sees the person and he entered too.

00:11:21.000 Stelter! 0.83

00:11:24.000 I'm more of a Lunchables man, I can fit it in my murse.

00:11:27.000 All the fun you can pack into a murse!

00:11:29.000 I didn't realize this was fruit-filled.

00:11:29.000 Now.

00:11:34.000 Also, I should introduce you.

00:11:35.000 Gerald A. is here.

00:11:36.000 There you go.

00:11:37.000 How are you doing?

00:11:38.000 Because of this.

00:11:39.000 How are you?

00:11:40.000 I'm doing alright.

00:11:41.000 I'm fine, it was the easiest drive into work ever today.

00:11:44.000 People in Texas can't drive in the ice.

00:11:46.000 I made it ten minutes door to door because there was no one.

00:11:48.000 Well, it was because there was actually grip on the roads.

00:11:50.000 Yes.

00:11:51.000 Also, I ran the red lights because there was no one.

00:11:54.000 That's the fun part.

00:11:56.000 Allegedly ran the red lights.

00:11:58.000 Did you?

00:11:59.000 Yeah.

00:11:59.000 It's the Detroit thing.

00:12:00.000 Yes, well of course.

00:12:01.000 That's a different reason, but mine is there's a light on the way here where it's two parking lots.

00:12:05.000 You know the one I'm talking about.

00:12:06.000 There's a bank and there's a McDonald's.

00:12:07.000 It's a parking lot and it's a light as though it's a major intersection.

00:12:10.000 I was like, what the hell am I stopping for this light?

00:12:12.000 These restaurants aren't even open right now.

00:12:13.000 You should just keep going.

00:12:14.000 I just kept going.

00:12:14.000 The lights are unacceptably long here.

00:12:16.000 You don't want to admit to running around.

00:12:18.000 I allegedly kept going.

00:12:19.000 Well, you couldn't stop and hit the brakes because you would have slid.

00:12:19.000 Allegedly.

00:12:22.000 That's what I do is I hit the brakes where I'm like, oh no!

00:12:22.000 Yes.

00:12:26.000 And then I just drift right through the red.

00:12:28.000 Shouldn't have been crossing with the carriage, lady. 1.00

00:12:30.000 Man, I tried so hard to stop and I didn't.

00:12:32.000 And he's here with me now.

00:12:33.000 You know I'm going to be in Denver this week.

00:12:35.000 But also, I'll be touring with him.

00:12:36.000 The tickets are now on sale for Royal Oak, Michigan.

00:12:39.000 Go to loudmouthcrowder.com slash tour.

00:12:41.000 I will be doing stand-up with Dave Landau.

00:12:44.000 We have March 26th in Indiana.

00:12:46.000 Then we have somewhere in Royal Oak, Michigan.

00:12:49.000 What is it?

00:12:49.000 April?

00:12:50.000 April 16th at the Royal Oak Music Theater.

00:12:52.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.

00:12:52.000 It's a great venue.

00:12:54.000 The tickets are selling out really fast.

00:12:55.000 Yes, in Evansville.

00:12:56.000 Evansville, we're going to have to add another show, so jump on it if you guys want to do it.

00:12:59.000 Okay, let me move on here before we have to get to our guest today, so we have to make sure that we stay on time, which is not our strong suit.

00:13:07.000 Whoops.

00:13:09.000 My strongest suit is birthday.

00:13:11.000 Now, we've had our qualms, obviously, with Russia, Putin, right?

00:13:15.000 None of us Russia, Putin fans, just like yesterday.

00:13:17.000 We had to clarify Hitler, Mao, both bad. 0.73

00:13:19.000 Both bad, yeah, real bad. 0.80

00:13:21.000 But the Russian women! 1.00

00:13:23.000 Particularly the ones who look like they were pulled from Into the Woods. 0.94

00:13:26.000 They are more based than you would expect.

00:13:29.000 There's a man on the street, and it's not like Jordan Klepper, it's not like jaywalking, you know, because you could die.

00:13:34.000 This is Russia. 0.52

00:13:36.000 And this is from some grandmas, I guess, on the Russian Reddit, I guess is where it was found.

00:13:41.000 They definitely have their issues with, you could say, the new world government internationalism.

00:13:49.000 Here you go, just watch.

00:13:50.000 Would you like Russia to join NATO and the European Union?

00:13:55.000 Screw NATO!

00:13:55.000 I don't want anything to do with it!

00:13:57.000 Why?

00:13:57.000 NATO has gone mad!

00:13:58.000 What did it do to you?

00:14:02.000 That's exactly what I would imagine an old Russian lady looks like. 1.00

00:14:05.000 Oh yeah.

00:14:05.000 what I would imagine an old Russian lady looks like.

00:14:07.000 Oh yeah.

00:14:09.000 What?

00:14:23.000 They are transgenders, there are 40 types of people.

00:14:27.000 Europe is a periphery.

00:14:29.000 That's why Americans were running to the front. 0.99

00:14:33.000 But now, most likely, they will plant missiles next to the United States, as it was in the 60s. 0.78

00:14:40.000 I love how in the States you ask them a basic question and a lot of people can't answer.

00:14:43.000 Of course it's selectively edited, that's why we don't do that here.

00:14:46.000 But over there you ask them one question and they give you a brilliant answer on international politics.

00:14:53.000 For those listening on audio, this is why the U.S.

00:14:55.000 needs to start thinking with their brains and not have 40 genders. 0.96

00:14:58.000 This is your problem.

00:14:59.000 You are not following science and I think that you will no longer be a great superpower because you are making a mistake.

00:15:04.000 And the person's just interviewing like, what do you think about the Kardashians?

00:15:08.000 Big S's! 0.99

00:15:09.000 Not for me!

00:15:09.000 I like how she quickly threatened nuclear war.

00:15:13.000 Just from a man on the street question.

00:15:14.000 She's like, yeah, I think we'll put nukes right next to your country. 1.00

00:15:16.000 See how you like that?

00:15:17.000 I like how every woman interviewed was beautiful.

00:15:20.000 Yes!

00:15:23.000 Imagine that shows up on your mail order bride.

00:15:25.000 You're like, Amazon Prime!

00:15:26.000 Is there a return policy?

00:15:29.000 Can I just put a label on this and leave it on the porch?

00:15:31.000 This isn't Prime.

00:15:32.000 This isn't even Chuck Roast. 0.98

00:15:35.000 Are you made of meth?

00:15:38.000 They don't have meth face.

00:15:39.000 I know, but they still have the face.

00:15:41.000 They can't get to make meth because they drank the antifreeze.

00:15:43.000 They have vodka face.

00:15:45.000 Why would you use this to make meth when you can just drink?

00:15:48.000 That's sink cleaner. 1.00

00:15:49.000 I know, it's good.

00:15:50.000 Oh boy.

00:15:50.000 You tie belts to hand because it's a shake from, you know, withdrawal.

00:15:55.000 And then you bring belt around neck.

00:15:55.000 Yes.

00:15:57.000 Yes, exactly.

00:15:58.000 It is like pulley for old lady Russian drink. 0.90

00:16:01.000 Instead is the hand.

00:16:03.000 Makes you feel good.

00:16:04.000 Or sometimes I have my grandson put my hip on seesaw so I drink from that like bird on desk.

00:16:11.000 Yes.

00:16:14.000 One in eight grandsons survive.

00:16:16.000 Yes.

00:16:17.000 That's why we have 19.

00:16:19.000 Also, we cannot afford contraception or bread.

00:16:22.000 Or as your Bernie says, that's a good thing, right? 1.00

00:16:25.000 You need to stop with stupidity. 1.00

00:16:27.000 You wait in line for a Disney roller coaster, I wait for a stale loaf. 1.00

00:16:32.000 And lowest jeans.

00:16:33.000 Yes, very low.

00:16:35.000 Mama jeans. 0.57

00:16:37.000 By the way, speaking of Russians, obviously they share a kinship with, guess who else?

00:16:43.000 African-Americans.

00:16:44.000 It's Black History Month here at Lotto's Grotto. 0.86

00:16:45.000 Uh-oh.

00:16:48.000 Some facts regarding, because we celebrate it here, we honor Black History Month.

00:16:52.000 Honor.

00:16:53.000 I wish it was a longer month.

00:16:54.000 On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the decades-old color barrier, became the first ever Major League Baseball player who was black, not in the Negro League, as Joe Biden said, former Vice President Biden said.

00:17:06.000 But from the Farm League.

00:17:07.000 Yeah, and then you have a stat on the NFL here.

00:17:11.000 I do.

00:17:11.000 Jim Brown, who I like a lot, led the NFL in rushing yards for eight out of his nine seasons.

00:17:17.000 By the time he retired, Jim had shattered almost every major rushing record there was.

00:17:22.000 He is still considered to be one of the greatest football players to ever grace the field.

00:17:26.000 Also, if a white man can finish a whole bucket of Nashville hot chicken without dying or choking, he legally gets to coach an NBA team. 0.51

00:17:26.000 And wife beaters. 0.51

00:17:35.000 That's true.

00:17:36.000 It's an automatic thing.

00:17:37.000 I don't even think it's state.

00:17:38.000 It's a federal thing.

00:17:39.000 This has been Black History Month here at Lettuce Craft.

00:17:43.000 I thought you just got a free meal and stuff like that, but they really upped their game.

00:17:46.000 Yeah.

00:17:47.000 Speaking of kind of Black History Month, I was watching CNN this morning, so you don't have to. 0.97

00:17:51.000 All references available at ladderworthcreditor.com.

00:17:53.000 And Don Lemon... Don Lemon?

00:17:56.000 You guys thought he was gone.

00:17:58.000 You think he... He's never gone!

00:18:00.000 That's the whole point!

00:18:02.000 He was on CNN promoting his new show on CNN+, which is their streaming service.

00:18:07.000 Watch out, Paramount.

00:18:10.000 CNN plus Q. Yes, CNN IP plus eggplant emoji.

00:18:17.000 Stelter, get in here!

00:18:17.000 I'm in.

00:18:19.000 Oh boy.

00:18:20.000 It's getting salacious.

00:18:21.000 Bring your merch! 1.00

00:18:22.000 Hey Stelter, it's Don.

00:18:23.000 Come in here and make lemonade.

00:18:25.000 Yes, can you bring your Dunkaroos?

00:18:27.000 I always have Dunkaroos!

00:18:29.000 I'm made of mostly Dunkaroos!

00:18:33.000 I hate that channel.

00:18:34.000 So, Don Lemon was promoting Don Lemon Plus on CNN.

00:18:37.000 I was watching the ad, and he really thought that this was a selling point.

00:18:42.000 It's just so funny that they're promoting CNN Plus on CNN.

00:18:45.000 Here's Don Lemon's new ad.

00:18:46.000 For those of you who are interested.

00:18:48.000 I'm Don Lemon, and I'm Don Lemon Plus.

00:18:50.000 We may look alike, but we're different.

00:18:52.000 Yeah, on CNN Plus, I have even less of a filter.

00:18:55.000 Really?

00:18:55.000 Are you sure that's good for us?

00:19:01.000 I can't wait.

00:19:09.000 That thing is going to go down in flames so, so quickly.

00:19:13.000 I mean, how many sex offenders can you fit into a green room?

00:19:17.000 They have trouble getting people to watch their channel for free.

00:19:22.000 And that's when everyone's tuned in at the airport.

00:19:24.000 It's someone who's stuck at Bojangles in Charlotte, like, ah, this guy.

00:19:28.000 Yeah.

00:19:28.000 It's like, if we didn't mention him, no one would.

00:19:32.000 Oh my gosh.

00:19:34.000 I love the idea of CNN Plus.

00:19:36.000 This is fantastic.

00:19:36.000 Well, while in Russia they deal with real problems, in the Ukraine they deal with real problems, I don't want to minimize the problems.

00:19:42.000 But I'm about to minimize some problems.

00:19:44.000 A mother has opened up.

00:19:46.000 This is a story now about her.

00:19:48.000 Now, this is going to sound really sinister, okay?

00:19:51.000 And you'll think I'm making light of it.

00:19:53.000 Until you remember, now, that it's not real.

00:19:57.000 A mother opened up about her traumatizing gang rape wait in Facebook's metaverse.

00:20:03.000 Ah, yes.

00:20:04.000 So Avatar, huh?

00:20:04.000 Yes.

00:20:06.000 Yeah, this Steven.

00:20:09.000 Look, I appreciate that you want to make jokes about these things.

00:20:12.000 But this is something that's a really sensitive subject matter near and dear to my heart.

00:20:16.000 And I'd like to take this one.

00:20:18.000 I'm sorry.

00:20:18.000 Okay.

00:20:19.000 I didn't know.

00:20:20.000 Yeah, by all means.

00:20:20.000 If you think that...

00:20:21.000 Huh.

00:20:25.000 Nina Jane Patel said, Yeah.

00:20:34.000 Within 60 seconds of joining, I was verbally and sexually harassed.

00:20:40.000 Oh. 0.96

00:20:42.000 Three to four male avatars with male voices, essentially, but virtually gang raped my avatar and took photos.

00:20:53.000 Well, that wasn't even consensual.

00:20:55.000 No, as I tried to get away, they yelled, don't pretend you didn't love it.

00:21:03.000 And go rub yourself off to the photo. 0.95

00:21:07.000 Okay, Gerald, let him get through it.

00:21:08.000 He's this is good for him.

00:21:09.000 I'm just glad.

00:21:11.000 Harassment in the metaverse is a serious issue.

00:21:17.000 And the industry needs to come on.

00:21:21.000 Together.

00:21:22.000 You shouldn't come on anything.

00:21:23.000 Come together to put in place the correct security controls and safety measures.

00:21:31.000 Well, you know what?

00:21:31.000 We talk about common ground on the show.

00:21:32.000 I think we can all get behind that.

00:21:33.000 We can, yes.

00:21:34.000 No avatar left behind.

00:21:35.000 No.

00:21:39.000 Do I say S.K.

00:21:40.000 Golden Corral?

00:21:41.000 No, no, no.

00:21:42.000 Is that a different thing?

00:21:43.000 I don't know.

00:21:44.000 Once you tried to get away.

00:21:45.000 When I tried to run away by pressing up on the D-pad, I'm sorry, Dave.

00:21:51.000 By the way, those listening on audio, because that was really for the audio listeners, and those who are not, you can, of course, subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Android, and Spotify, which will be labeled misinformation, even though that is a real story.

00:22:02.000 Dave just read it word for word.

00:22:03.000 Yeah, Dave. 0.56

00:22:04.000 No, I just think it's very serious to rape an avatar.

00:22:07.000 Dave, can you tell us, was it three or four?

00:22:07.000 Yeah, I know.

00:22:10.000 I mean, you said three to four.

00:22:12.000 Um, I'm not a counter.

00:22:13.000 Yeah, he's not a CPA.

00:22:16.000 The point is it was traumatic.

00:22:17.000 Couldn't you zoom out and tell us? 1.00

00:22:19.000 Look, I don't have to audit my rapist's penises. 1.00

00:22:23.000 I'm not like, hey, get me a count. 0.98

00:22:25.000 Do you know that 92% of metaverse rapes go unclaimed?

00:22:31.000 They go unprosecuted.

00:22:32.000 They don't even get the digital rape ads.

00:22:33.000 It's embarrassing.

00:22:34.000 No, it's very embarrassing.

00:22:37.000 You show up to the digital downtown police office.

00:22:37.000 It's embarrassing.

00:22:41.000 They have their pixelated swab. 0.99

00:22:43.000 And they rape you. 0.99

00:22:44.000 Dave, what was your avatar wearing? 0.99

00:22:48.000 I'm just trying to help.

00:22:49.000 I'm not saying victim blame of avatars.

00:22:52.000 I'm just saying.

00:22:53.000 Oh no, I think you are. 0.99

00:22:54.000 My avatar is wearing a pink pussy hat and glasses. 0.99

00:22:58.000 That wasn't really what did it. 0.97

00:22:59.000 It was more so the chaps. 1.00

00:23:02.000 Well, yeah.

00:23:03.000 Which usually go with the chaps or the French maid outfit. 1.00

00:23:05.000 Because you have to buy it with NFTs, too.

00:23:08.000 That's true.

00:23:09.000 You do.

00:23:09.000 Also, try not going to the gang rape avatar room.

00:23:13.000 You should avoid that chap.

00:23:14.000 That's a bad place to be.

00:23:16.000 I thought it was an ironic title.

00:23:18.000 Yeah.

00:23:19.000 Okay?

00:23:19.000 You never know.

00:23:20.000 You never know.

00:23:21.000 That's the thing.

00:23:22.000 You never know.

00:23:23.000 Gerald?

00:23:24.000 You're right, I'm sorry.

00:23:25.000 It's an epidemic.

00:23:26.000 It is.

00:23:26.000 It's an epidemic.

00:23:27.000 I liked it a lot.

00:23:27.000 I liked it.

00:23:29.000 Please just tell me that no police resources were wasted on this.

00:23:35.000 Only Avatar police who actually joined in. 0.99

00:23:37.000 Can you digitally kill yourself? 0.56

00:23:38.000 Can you do that? 0.98

00:23:39.000 I've tried.

00:23:40.000 Oh, well.

00:23:42.000 You can, but you come back. 1.00

00:23:44.000 Stupid. 1.00

00:23:44.000 Gosh, you respawn. 1.00

00:23:45.000 That's a cheat.

00:23:47.000 Okay, here's another thing going on.

00:23:49.000 I hope they figure out a way to do it.

00:23:51.000 A United States skier, while we're talking about the Winter Olympics, you know, the kickoff in Beijing next week, which I don't understand why we're taking part.

00:23:57.000 I feel like we shouldn't have anything to do with communist countries.

00:24:00.000 Period.

00:24:01.000 But that's me, Mr. Traditional.

00:24:03.000 How's America gonna be in it?

00:24:04.000 America's best freestyle skier, Eileen Gu.

00:24:08.000 Gu.

00:24:09.000 Go! 0.95

00:24:09.000 Gu. 0.95

00:24:10.000 Also is- Is it go?

00:24:11.000 Stelters.

00:24:12.000 That's what I'm made of!

00:24:14.000 She won't be- I love Gu.

00:24:14.000 Oh.

00:24:16.000 I have it for breakfast.

00:24:17.000 She won't be dining the stars and stripes, but this is an American.

00:24:21.000 The sickle and hammer.

00:24:22.000 Here you go.

00:24:23.000 Born in San Francisco to an American father and a Chinese mother, Aileen announced in 2019 that she would ski for China at the Beijing Games.

00:24:32.000 Aileen seems to be aware of the political sensitivity around China.

00:24:37.000 On Chinese social media platform Weibo, her posts focus on her self-identification as a Chinese athlete and role model for her 1 million followers.

00:24:45.000 This while the US government announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics over concerns about China's poor human rights record.

00:24:53.000 But if China needs a national hero, Aileen seems ready for the job. 0.96

00:24:58.000 So to be able to introduce just one young girl to skiing and change her life the way that mine was changed is something that's inexorable and so worth doing.

00:24:58.000 I'm American.

00:25:06.000 And because there's so many idols.

00:25:07.000 And I'm taller than all of them.

00:25:08.000 And I think that in China there's so much more opportunity.

00:25:10.000 Oh, there's so much more opportunity in China.

00:25:13.000 Somewhere behind her there are throngs of Uyghurs going, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! 1.00

00:25:17.000 Just death! 0.77

00:25:19.000 Just a kill forever! 0.76

00:25:20.000 You mispronounce death! 0.92

00:25:20.000 Not opportunity! 0.92

00:25:22.000 Or torture!

00:25:24.000 There's no way she's more than quarter Asian. 1.00

00:25:27.000 I doubt it.

00:25:28.000 She's blonde. 1.00

00:25:29.000 And by the way, I'm sure she picked China just for the, uh... 0.92

00:25:33.000 Inspiring young athletes.

00:25:34.000 That's true.

00:25:35.000 She's good enough, by the way, to win three gold medals.

00:25:37.000 Has nothing to do with finances, I'm sure.

00:25:40.000 No, no, no, no.

00:25:41.000 Not at all.

00:25:42.000 It can't be a money play at all.

00:25:43.000 Explain to people who don't know.

00:25:45.000 Right, so this whole story.

00:25:47.000 So Gu, she actually announced to the world she'd be skiing for China in 2000.

00:25:50.000 And is it Gu or Go?

00:25:51.000 I don't even know at this point.

00:25:52.000 GU, I don't know how to pronounce it.

00:25:54.000 Okay, Gu, right?

00:25:56.000 She decided to ski for China in 2019, so she was preparing for the 2020 Olympics.

00:26:01.000 So here's a quote, I've decided to compete for China in the upcoming 2022 Olympics.

00:26:01.000 Yes.

00:26:05.000 Read it like goo!

00:26:06.000 I have decided to compete for China on 2022 Olympics!

00:26:10.000 This was incredibly tough decision for me to make.

00:26:13.000 Sorry, I'm competing for China.

00:26:17.000 She has to be Chinese when she's there, that's true. 1.00

00:26:20.000 She's like the equivalent of Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:26:22.000 I was listening to Yo-Yo Ma back But look, so, there's obviously a lot of people that are pissed off about this.

00:26:31.000 We'll get to some of the reasons why, but this is possibly one of them.

00:26:33.000 Since she announced that... That she's a traitor? 0.99

00:26:36.000 But here's the thing.

00:26:36.000 Well, that too.

00:26:37.000 The question is why.

00:26:38.000 Like, why would she do that if she could ski in the United States and for the U.S. 0.97

00:26:41.000 and still win gold medals?

00:26:42.000 Right.

00:26:43.000 She's in deals with Victoria's Secret, Tiffany, IWC, and of course, Beats by Dre, very big in China.

00:26:50.000 This makes sense.

00:26:51.000 Victoria's Secret?

00:26:53.000 It's a honey!

00:26:54.000 Not a lot of secrets, but, you know, some.

00:26:56.000 What's the secret, all A-cups?

00:26:59.000 Not a lot of women in China to market to, I thought, with the one-child policy, but we'll get to that. 1.00

00:27:04.000 Well, they also sell foot bindings that say juicy, so I don't know.

00:27:06.000 Well, I mean, look, it does make a little bit of sense, because China is obviously one of the biggest economies in the world, and they're on track to be the top place for luxury goods by 2025, so I guess that makes sense.

00:27:15.000 I don't know!

00:27:16.000 23 endorsement deals from Chinese companies including just a few Bank of China, China

00:27:20.000 Mobile and Mignou.

00:27:22.000 I have no idea how to pronounce that but here's the interesting part.

00:27:25.000 Each one of those deals is worth roughly about two and a half million dollars.

00:27:28.000 So far far more.

00:27:29.000 I don't know.

00:27:30.000 In my brain I'm thinking yen.

00:27:31.000 China.

00:27:32.000 What happened?

00:27:33.000 Just for crying out loud.

00:27:37.000 It's just everyone is looking to be marginalized for some reason.

00:27:39.000 I think it's really important that the Chinese... 0.94

00:27:41.000 How about you inspire the Chinese athletes there to defect and get their ass out of China where they're oppressed? 0.96

00:27:47.000 Hey, how many girls are there in China who look up to you? 1.00

00:27:50.000 You know, the ones who made it through the bathtub holocaust. 0.95

00:27:53.000 Right, exactly, or we're not left on a mountain somewhere to die slowly of starvation, right?

00:27:57.000 So it's uncertain really how she can do this.

00:27:59.000 I'm so turned on right now.

00:28:00.000 No, you're not.

00:28:01.000 What?

00:28:02.000 It's really uncertain how she can do this legally and be able to ski for China because they don't allow dual citizenship for any of their athletes, right?

00:28:09.000 So it's not like Canada and America where you have dual citizenship and you're like, oh, I didn't make it.

00:28:12.000 Yeah, you have to renounce your citizenship. 0.64

00:28:13.000 Exactly, in there, right?

00:28:14.000 So she has to renounce it and she was only 15 when she apparently did that.

00:28:18.000 Here's the problem with that.

00:28:19.000 The rub is, in the United States, for you to be able to renounce it, you have to be at least 16 years of age.

00:28:24.000 So there's a lot of questions to whether she can actually legally have done this, if she was announcing it at the time, and there's some kind of foul play with China.

00:28:31.000 We really don't know.

00:28:32.000 See, I think that if you commit, you know, if you're a traitor, or if you commit treason, I think we should just have one agency.

00:28:38.000 Like what?

00:28:38.000 I can commit treason, but I can't drink a beer with my buddies?

00:28:42.000 It should be 18 across the board.

00:28:46.000 And rental insurance.

00:28:47.000 Yes, well that too.

00:28:48.000 25.

00:28:48.000 The golden year.

00:28:49.000 Well, for Chinese drivers, it's 45. 0.95

00:28:51.000 Are they good skiers, though?

00:28:54.000 Chinese?

00:28:54.000 Who?

00:28:54.000 Yeah.

00:28:55.000 I don't know that they have a strong team.

00:28:57.000 I feel like they're not.

00:28:58.000 I feel like it's joining the Lions to win a Super Bowl.

00:29:01.000 They're just knocking the Tibetans off the Himalayas. 0.99

00:29:07.000 Look, we understand the Olympics are about being good at your sport.

00:29:10.000 They're about competing against the best in the world, and money sometimes is a problem, but if you're one of the best athletes out there, typically you do pretty well.

00:29:17.000 She was one of the best in the United States, so she was going from having millions of dollars in sponsorship to having more millions of dollars in sponsorship.

00:29:23.000 Isn't somebody working at Home Depot featured in the ad barely making it through life, right?

00:29:28.000 It's like Fast and the Furious in the Chinese market.

00:29:30.000 Exactly.

00:29:31.000 So look, a post on Red Bull's website that said you renounced our citizenship was actually taken down after they were contacted by the Wall Street Journal.

00:29:39.000 And obviously the idea in China that some U.S.

00:29:43.000 skier that's fantastic actually renounced their citizenship and is leaving to go there is fantastic for them.

00:29:48.000 They're laughing at us saying, like, this is a huge win for China.

00:29:50.000 This woman shouldn't be allowed back in the country. 1.00

00:29:52.000 Well, so that's the thing.

00:29:53.000 She should never be allowed back in this country. 0.99

00:29:54.000 She has made her tiny wooden bed.

00:29:58.000 She should be forced to lie in it.

00:29:59.000 She should lie in it with the foot bindings that come along with it. 0.92

00:30:02.000 They say juicy!

00:30:03.000 Right, so she grew up in California with access to the best training facilities, the best coaches.

00:30:08.000 She skied in Lake Tahoe.

00:30:10.000 She had an American father, a Chinese mother, but she was born here.

00:30:13.000 Again, no dual citizenship at all. 0.93

00:30:35.000 I did my residency in a concentration camp.

00:30:39.000 Keep in mind, though, that China's one-child policy didn't end until 2015.

00:30:43.000 We just mentioned it, literally.

00:30:45.000 So do you think she would have had the same access to the coaches and the ability to ski and to go out and do that and be trained and all of these things?

00:30:52.000 Or do you think she would have even survived to be a skier or an athlete?

00:30:56.000 It's now a three-child limit, too.

00:30:58.000 It's a three-child limit now.

00:30:59.000 Oh, okay.

00:31:00.000 So if she was number four, it's the unlucky number four.

00:31:02.000 So I can have two boy and maybe one girl defending how I feel at hospital.

00:31:07.000 Right.

00:31:08.000 I prefer a three boy.

00:31:10.000 You're having a quintuplet, which means you get to choose.

00:31:14.000 So here's a quote I want to read to you.

00:31:17.000 I'm just not going to answer Dave at all.

00:31:19.000 In a 2022 interview with the South China Morning Post, Gu said, nobody can deny I'm American.

00:31:26.000 When I go to China, nobody can deny I'm Chinese.

00:31:29.000 Legally, that's wrong.

00:31:30.000 Hold on.

00:31:31.000 Time out.

00:31:32.000 Which one do you want?

00:31:33.000 Yeah.

00:31:34.000 Because you benefited from the system setup here and now you're going over there for a money play.

00:31:40.000 Yeah.

00:31:41.000 Go ahead.

00:31:41.000 You never get an American passport again.

00:31:43.000 That's totally fine.

00:31:44.000 That's very similar to, by the way, China.

00:31:46.000 They benefit from the American capitalist system with trade, and then they say that, oh, you know, the decadence of the West.

00:31:51.000 The truth is, if we actually cut back on our technology trading rate, it would harm China far more than the United States.

00:31:58.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:31:59.000 And if we don't want to go to war, hey, you know what?

00:32:01.000 Start off with not just diplomacy, writing a letter, but You know, tighten the vice a little bit.

00:32:05.000 Right, exactly. 0.98

00:32:06.000 Oh, you're killing girls? 0.98

00:32:07.000 Oh, you're not allowing people to be free? 0.87

00:32:09.000 Oh, you're actually committing genocide against the Uyghurs?

00:32:11.000 We're not going to blow you up, though we'd kind of be justified.

00:32:11.000 Guess what?

00:32:14.000 We're just not going to allow you to have access to our modern technology that was developed under the, of course, free enterprise system that you hate so much.

00:32:22.000 That's the issue, and this is just a person who's embodying it.

00:32:25.000 It's basically just flip-flopping, right?

00:32:26.000 And I know the Olympics are coming up, and I know people tend to watch them.

00:32:29.000 I mean, it's still pretty popular, even though I don't think fans are allowed this year.

00:32:32.000 But she's basically saying that I look American, and I look Chinese, or I sound these ways.

00:32:38.000 You've totally missed out on what being American is.

00:32:38.000 Well, hold on.

00:32:41.000 It's an idea.

00:32:41.000 Yeah.

00:32:42.000 This isn't about looking a certain way or sounding a certain way.

00:32:44.000 It's about espousing certain principles.

00:32:46.000 And you've gone to the country that espouses the exact opposite of freedom.

00:32:50.000 And you've done it for money using freedom to piggyback off of, right?

00:32:50.000 Yeah.

00:32:54.000 But here's another thing.

00:32:55.000 So look, if you're really mad right now, if you're a little bit pissed off that this person did that, that's fantastic.

00:32:59.000 We're not that mad.

00:33:00.000 We're not about boycotts or anything like that.

00:33:02.000 Boycotts are fantastic.

00:33:03.000 In this case, we want you to support an American skier, 17-year-old Hannah Fallhaber, GU's biggest American competition in the halfpipe, who has a pretty good shot of winning as well.

00:33:13.000 So, if you're going to watch the Olympics, when this girl comes on, Eileen GU, make sure you give her no cheer, no applause whatsoever.

00:33:20.000 Support American skiers.

00:33:23.000 This American here, Hannah, probably not getting the same victory.

00:33:26.000 Listen, well... Why?

00:33:28.000 I agree.

00:33:29.000 More of an Old Navy.

00:33:29.000 Yeah.

00:33:31.000 Listen!

00:33:32.000 She's like an REI girl. 0.90

00:33:33.000 Come on! 0.61

00:33:34.000 Talbot.

00:33:35.000 Talbots.

00:33:36.000 At best.

00:33:37.000 William Stenoma, just to pick you off.

00:33:39.000 Has Talbots written across her skis?

00:33:41.000 A Chinese Fahad fan?

00:33:42.000 Ha ha ha, look!

00:33:43.000 How a old lady ski! 1.00

00:33:46.000 By the way, you said you don't think we should compete.

00:33:49.000 I disagree.

00:33:49.000 I think that only hurts the athletes in these cases, because you've got a very limited window to be able to compete.

00:33:55.000 I know sometimes it's more about, you know, something else going on in the world and the country doing stupid stuff. 0.99

00:34:00.000 I get it. 0.99

00:34:01.000 But it only hurts them.

00:34:01.000 But we were very stern.

00:34:03.000 We're not sending our delegation.

00:34:05.000 You sit there and the media says this with a straight face, like, a diplomatic boycott.

00:34:10.000 What does that mean?

00:34:11.000 You show up with a few signs?

00:34:12.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:34:13.000 Or no, that you don't show up at all.

00:34:15.000 No, they had people with signs there.

00:34:16.000 You're doing nothing.

00:34:17.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:34:18.000 It's like, oh, thank God Joe Biden's not going to come.

00:34:20.000 We don't have to act like he's actually coherent.

00:34:22.000 Yeah, this is the issue here.

00:34:23.000 Look, do you want to think that the United States is on more stable footing with China?

00:34:28.000 You can comment below with former Vice President Joe Biden.

00:34:32.000 The president who started no new major wars, Donald Trump, intimidated all the right people.

00:34:32.000 Think about it.

00:34:38.000 Yeah.

00:34:39.000 Yep.

00:34:39.000 China started playing ball.

00:34:40.000 Now it's like, well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:34:43.000 Now we take your skier!

00:34:44.000 Well, look, I wouldn't be brutal about this, but I would absolutely be like, hey, totally fine.

00:34:51.000 You want to immigrate to China?

00:34:52.000 You want to naturalize as a citizen?

00:34:53.000 All right, hand over that passport.

00:34:55.000 And if you want to come back, by the way, you're going to have to apply to be able to come back, just like everybody else that does that, right?

00:34:55.000 Let's just make sure.

00:34:59.000 To be able to come back on a temporary basis.

00:35:01.000 Or if you want to work here and make money in the United States, you need to get a worker's permit.

00:35:05.000 We got to do all this stuff because you've just renounced U.S.

00:35:07.000 citizenship.

00:35:07.000 Right.

00:35:08.000 And also, we would put her immediately on the do not accept list.

00:35:11.000 Yes.

00:35:14.000 No, I think if you go and play for the people don't this is again it goes back to the idea of war yeah not just war we're not at a war with China but you know what when sometimes people say oh man they want to have you they want to have you all mixed up in your head with teams no teams do matter And you don't get to be Team USA and Team China.

00:35:34.000 You don't get to do it.

00:35:35.000 You don't get to be a member of a team that requires you betraying and renouncing your other team.

00:35:40.000 You want to ski for China?

00:35:41.000 Great.

00:35:42.000 Go live in China. 1.00

00:35:43.000 You can't come back.

00:35:44.000 And it's not the same as someone having dual citizenship between the United States and someone who was born in, I don't know, Honduras, Finland, Switzerland, Canada.

00:35:51.000 I don't even know if I still technically... I mean, technically I probably still have a Canadian citizenship.

00:35:55.000 I have no idea if I've renewed it because I was born in the States but raised there.

00:35:57.000 My mom's Canadian.

00:35:59.000 But there's a big difference between that and a government that demands you renounce your American citizenship.

00:36:04.000 Yeah, and breaking the rules so that you can do it.

00:36:06.000 If any more comes out, we'll let you know.

00:36:06.000 So we'll see.

00:36:08.000 But I will have that Victoria's Secret catalogue.

00:36:11.000 Open for a fall!

00:36:12.000 Before we have BJ Dictor, real name, on the ground from the convoy there in Canada.

00:36:18.000 He's going to be calling in on the ground in a few minutes here in Canada to update us.

00:36:22.000 There is a tie-in here a little bit.

00:36:24.000 So let's talk about this first Facebook.

00:36:27.000 And this all goes back to, you know, you see Spotify and what happened with Joe Rogan and a lot of people have been talking.

00:36:33.000 It's become sort of a cultural movement.

00:36:35.000 Look, the left right now is on a censorship purge.

00:36:38.000 Let me be clear about this.

00:36:39.000 Spotify is just the beginning.

00:36:41.000 You know they don't want a label.

00:36:42.000 And by the way, you know that if Joe Rogan never uttered the words COVID-19 or coronavirus or pandemic, they still would have gone after him.

00:36:50.000 It's about eliminating competition because all cable news programs combined don't have

00:36:56.000 the listenership of Joe Rogan.

00:36:58.000 And it's just him and one guy basically in a den, I think, in his house.

00:37:02.000 I don't know.

00:37:03.000 He used to have a studio there in Los Angeles.

00:37:04.000 But the point is, it's far lower budget, reaches far more people, and they can't have that.

00:37:07.000 They need to keep their gatekeepers in place.

00:37:10.000 That's what they require.

00:37:11.000 And so the left right now, they have the same problem you see with Trudeau and the convoy.

00:37:15.000 But we also addressed Jen Psaki today and Joe Biden complimenting Spotify, saying that

00:37:21.000 they're not doing enough.

00:37:22.000 We also have other government officials, and this ties into Facebook that's trending right now, but for all the wrong reasons, other government officials demanding that Facebook get more aggressive with its censoring.

00:37:34.000 So I'm sorry.

00:37:35.000 By the way, this next person, she's obviously held elected office, also has a Victoria's Secret catalog coming out.

00:37:42.000 Here's AOC talking about Facebook.

00:37:44.000 There are some things that the United States provide that are welcome.

00:37:49.000 There's also things that we want the United States to stop exporting.

00:37:53.000 And one of those things is disinformation.

00:37:55.000 And disinformation through U.S.

00:37:58.000 founded companies like Facebook that have absolutely slowed and frankly sabotaged the global effort to fight against the coronavirus.

00:38:09.000 Man, she hit all the liberal words there.

00:38:12.000 If you were playing a word game, what's the over-under on her saying global, on her saying misinformation?

00:38:18.000 Think about this.

00:38:18.000 She's saying we need a global government cabal, if you will, to determine what is permissible and what is impermissible.

00:38:25.000 Now, I have a problem with Facebook, and I'll get to that in a second, because we've actually been throttled on Facebook.

00:38:29.000 We actually baked code into our page that we could not become a show page.

00:38:32.000 We've been censored nonstop on Facebook, and when people say it's not censorship unless it's government, well, Really?

00:38:38.000 Is it not considered government anymore when they say, oh yeah, we are removing information on Facebook that is misinformation?

00:38:44.000 Who's telling you it's misinformation?

00:38:46.000 The government's telling us and we do what the government asks.

00:38:46.000 The government.

00:38:49.000 They are just an arm.

00:38:50.000 They're a bully pulpit for the government.

00:38:52.000 So let me give you a couple of other examples of people tweeting this out.

00:38:54.000 This is trending right now.

00:38:55.000 On Twitter.

00:38:56.000 I don't know if it's trending on Facebook.

00:38:57.000 I haven't checked Facebook in a long time.

00:38:58.000 Delete Facebook is trending.

00:39:00.000 Love that.

00:39:00.000 Writer for The Atlantic, Molly Xiong Fast, tweeted, Facebook doesn't need to be the toxic echo chamber.

00:39:04.000 It's become a Facebook contact manager's care.

00:39:07.000 They would cut down on anti-vaccine content and various other lies, like Joe Rogan interviewing the creator of the mRNA vaccine.

00:39:13.000 Doctors, you know.

00:39:13.000 Doctors.

00:39:14.000 Real, honest-to-God doctors.

00:39:15.000 Not PhDs in philosophy.

00:39:15.000 Right, right, right.

00:39:16.000 So they don't count.

00:39:16.000 You know, if you were on a plane, if you were on a plane and someone was choking, you'd say, do we have a doctor?

00:39:21.000 And someone would pop up, you know, like a Peter McCauley, be like, not you!

00:39:23.000 Does anyone have a doctor in humanities?

00:39:25.000 We're in Beats by Dre, huh, doctor?

00:39:28.000 They have a PhD from Harvard, and they're like, no you don't.

00:39:28.000 Yes.

00:39:31.000 Right.

00:39:32.000 And he's like, no I do, though, what?

00:39:34.000 Were you published?

00:39:35.000 Author and LGBTQ activist Amy Siskin tweeted, Facebook, we are the most despised brand for being a platform that spreads disinformation.

00:39:42.000 Spotify, hold my beer.

00:39:43.000 Of course, you all love Brianna Wu, progressive PAC director.

00:39:46.000 She said, Facebook is really on the path it deserves.

00:39:48.000 It did nothing to rein in conservative hate speech and disinformation.

00:39:51.000 And now it's user base has stopped growing. 0.69

00:39:54.000 No one wants to hang out with their crazy uncle.

00:39:56.000 The meta play is a desperate and sad attempt to regain coolness.

00:39:59.000 Now see, you saw me do a change my mind I think six or seven years ago that hate speech is not real.

00:40:04.000 People say, oh, people can speak hatefully.

00:40:06.000 Yep, yep, but guess what?

00:40:07.000 That was a Trojan horse that allowed it in. 0.95

00:40:09.000 Now we have another one.

00:40:10.000 Misinformation.

00:40:11.000 What does that mean?

00:40:12.000 Well, it's, you know, what was considered a lie yesterday but is accurate today.

00:40:16.000 So what is misinformation?

00:40:17.000 Well, like six months ago, if you said that if you were vaccinated, you know, you could still catch it or spread it, that was misinformation then and it's not now.

00:40:25.000 What about the Surgeon General saying, don't wear masks, they don't help?

00:40:27.000 Well, no, that wasn't misinformation, but then it was misinformation.

00:40:30.000 So they can determine what it is.

00:40:31.000 Hate speech?

00:40:32.000 What is hate speech?

00:40:32.000 Well, they can determine whatever hate speech is, and I'll get to this in a second.

00:40:35.000 It's absolutely terrifying.

00:40:36.000 Now, Facebook has seen a 25% nosedive in their stock.

00:40:43.000 200 million lost in market value.

00:40:45.000 That's the first drop in users in their 18-year history.

00:40:50.000 Oh, wow.

00:40:51.000 Now, here's the thing.

00:40:53.000 They're bitching about misinformation, and what they're saying is, one side is saying, hey, we have a problem with Facebook, right?

00:40:59.000 Us, here, people on the right, saying we have a problem with Facebook, because they're eliminating voices.

00:41:03.000 They're eliminating voices from the pool.

00:41:05.000 And keep in mind, these people are bitching about an echo chamber. 1.00

00:41:07.000 Bitching about an echo chamber.

00:41:07.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:41:09.000 Let's remove Joe Rogan.

00:41:10.000 Let's remove Steven Crowder.

00:41:11.000 Doctors.

00:41:11.000 Let's remove James O'Keefe.

00:41:12.000 Let's remove doctors. 1.00

00:41:13.000 What has Facebook done?

00:41:14.000 Well, right now, they just removed, actually, the Convoy to DC group.

00:41:20.000 And this had 130,000 members.

00:41:22.000 Holy cow. 0.89

00:41:23.000 And this is something, of course, that was modeling the Canadian, obviously, Freedom

00:41:27.000 Convoy.

00:41:28.000 And we'll get to BJ Dictor in a second.

00:41:29.000 But when we say, OK, we have a problem with Facebook, well, let me tell you exactly how

00:41:32.000 I have a problem with Facebook.

00:41:34.000 And the left just says they need to do more.

00:41:37.000 What does... this is why this is terrifying.

00:41:40.000 These are elected officials.

00:41:41.000 Right.

00:41:42.000 Saying Facebook isn't doing enough.

00:41:44.000 You need to remove more misinformation.

00:41:45.000 Well, what has Facebook done?

00:41:46.000 Facebook has throttled conservatives.

00:41:47.000 Facebook removed the page of a sitting Republican president.

00:41:51.000 Facebook removed the pages of doctors, by the way, early on in this pandemic.

00:41:55.000 Remember when they said a lot of these measures aren't really working, which now has been confirmed by John Hopkins, by the CDC, by the WHO when they were talking about full lockdown measures?

00:42:03.000 Not even saying anything about masks because we could get removed from YouTube because, you know, Jen Psaki made a call to Wojcicki.

00:42:09.000 This is what they've done.

00:42:11.000 And, by the way, they're already labeling anything that is critical of Lord Fauci, anything that is critical of, let's say, mRNA vaccines, anything that is critical of the idea that we should have mass lockdowns.

00:42:23.000 It's already being labeled misinformation.

00:42:25.000 If you're watching this on YouTube, you probably have a warning label there.

00:42:28.000 If you're watching a clip on Facebook, if we're still allowed to upload there, we're occasionally allowed, you're definitely seeing warning labels.

00:42:33.000 So we have warning labels, we have conservative voices entirely banned, we have built-in throttling of pages, James O'Keefe's investigative journalism gets removed, even though it is fully in line with single-party consent laws.

00:42:45.000 They don't abide by the laws of the states!

00:42:47.000 They abide by the requests of the federal government and you have people like AOC and Jen Psaki and Joe Biden saying they're not doing enough.

00:42:53.000 So what do you think that they want?

00:42:55.000 They bitch about an echo chamber but what is it they want? 0.86

00:42:57.000 They are on a censorship purge. 0.97

00:42:59.000 They think they smell blood in the water with Joe Rogan and they want to remove voices that they don't agree with.

00:43:04.000 I'm so past the silly libertarian argument that go create your own Facebook.

00:43:08.000 This is not This is not a free, open economy when the government can pressure them into doing their bidding, and Facebook and YouTube and Twitter, they've bragged about having meetings with government officials and being acquiescent. 0.86

00:43:21.000 This is not an example of a private business saying, sure, you know what, we'll bake your cake, we're just not going to take part in a gay wedding. 1.00

00:43:27.000 That is not the same thing.

00:43:29.000 As one of the biggest companies that has ever existed, who receive countless tax benefits and protections under safe harbor laws, saying, we're going to do exactly what the government tells us.

00:43:40.000 And now the government's saying, you're not doing enough.

00:43:42.000 There are still people running against us who are on that.

00:43:44.000 You got to get rid of them.

00:43:46.000 Trump was a good start.

00:43:47.000 James O'Keefe was a good start, but get rid of everybody else.

00:43:50.000 Right, and it's not just limited to health, right?

00:43:52.000 Saying, oh, this is what's best for people because you're actually affecting people's health, you're causing them to die.

00:43:56.000 There's so many stories, the Hunter Biden laptop, the Russia stuff that was going on that they did let go through, right?

00:44:02.000 Peeing prostitutes and everything else going on, and then they kick something out that directly affected an election. 1.00

00:44:07.000 Hey, you know what? 0.97

00:44:08.000 When we're talking about people's health, how about you stop removing posts critical of fat pride?

00:44:13.000 There we go.

00:44:13.000 How about that?

00:44:14.000 How about you start removing posts of, you know, doctors and medical experts and people from Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins?

00:44:20.000 How about you stop removing them if you're so concerned about health?

00:44:24.000 How about Ron DeSantis talking to three doctors from places that are the most revered in the world?

00:44:30.000 I believe it was Oxford, Stanford, and Harvard, right?

00:44:33.000 Having a conversation with his citizens, at the time sitting governor of one of the biggest states in the United States. 0.72

00:44:37.000 And before we go to Canada, the man BJ Dictor in Canada, look, when everyone talked about Donald Trump being an authoritarian fascist, okay? 0.82

00:44:43.000 Sent out some mean tweets.

00:44:45.000 Do you ever remember Donald Trump?

00:44:45.000 Got it.

00:44:48.000 Let's say Ted Cruz.

00:44:49.000 Let's say Ron DeSantis.

00:44:50.000 People you don't like.

00:44:52.000 right? If you don't like them, can you point me to a single example of them saying,

00:44:56.000 hey, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, you need to remove more content. You need to get rid of

00:45:01.000 these people. Or did you see them bitching about social media saying you need to stop removing 0.99

00:45:08.000 content? There's a big, big difference. Look, the authoritarian regime is not the one that says,

00:45:13.000 hey, people should have the right to more guns. 0.96

00:45:16.000 Hey, people should keep more of their paycheck.

00:45:19.000 Hey, people should be allowed to speak freely on all social platforms.

00:45:23.000 You're going to say that's authoritarian and that's fascist, but not the government that wants to take away your right to self-preservation, to self-defense, and your right to speak freely, even if you're a qualified doctor?

00:45:33.000 Listen, this is just the wordplay that goes on, the word fascist authoritarian.

00:45:37.000 It's never been the guy who says, Take all the guns!

00:45:42.000 Take all the guns and post anywhere!

00:45:45.000 Because that's how I get control, is by allowing you to protect yourself and speak freely.

00:45:49.000 No, just because Joe Biden looks like he has pipe cleaners on his head and puts on a nice guy, gee golly, Will Rogers act, does not mean that this is not a dangerous authoritarian time in our country.

00:46:00.000 And you know why this is important, people?

00:46:02.000 Look, I don't want, we just said this yesterday, I don't want Whoopi Goldberg to be removed, and that wasn't censorship, that's the network, they have the right to do it.

00:46:10.000 I think she made a silly statement, and of course I'll call her out for it.

00:46:14.000 I don't want to see people removed for opinions, and I certainly don't want to see it on social media, because all great civil rights revolutions start with speech.

00:46:22.000 You give that power over, you don't get it back.

00:46:26.000 And you see what's happening in Canada, and this is close to a civil information war.

00:46:32.000 When you have what is equivalent to the United States President, Prime Minister of Canada, it's a silly place, it's inconsequential, generally speaking, in comparison, okay, we love our Canadian brethren, but you have The Prime Minister of the country speaking out and saying that there are certain views which are impermissible and shouldn't be allowed to be spoken or written.

00:46:54.000 These are the people who are ironically called liberals and these are the people trying to shut down really the only peaceful mass protest that I can think of the last half decade.

00:47:03.000 There hasn't even been an injury!

00:47:05.000 In these Canadian protests.

00:47:07.000 This has been admitted, by the way, by their own police force.

00:47:09.000 They said, no, it could have, uh, there could have been a really bad, uh, you know, injury or something.

00:47:13.000 But did it happen?

00:47:14.000 No, they just put a Canadian flag on Terry Fox and then cleaned it up.

00:47:17.000 So, peaceably assembling?

00:47:17.000 Oh, all right.

00:47:20.000 I wouldn't go that far.

00:47:21.000 What would you call it?

00:47:22.000 Oh, scary?

00:47:25.000 So remember, Trudeau called unvaccinated Canadians, and now these trucker convoys, and we have BJ Dictor here who's on the ground to discuss it, racists, fascists, sexists, and said that they hold unacceptable views in case you've forgotten.

00:47:38.000 in the Latin areas.

00:47:39.000 But there are also people who are fiercely opposed to vaccination.

00:47:42.000 They are extremists.

00:47:43.000 They don't believe in science, they are often misogynistic, often racist too. 0.94

00:47:48.000 It's a small group, but it takes up space.

00:47:52.000 And there, you have to make a choice as a leader, as a country.

00:47:56.000 Do we tolerate it?

00:47:58.000 to last. 0.99

00:48:02.000 Tyrant.

00:48:02.000 Done.

00:48:03.000 Don't even want to hear the rest.

00:48:07.000 Unacceptable views.

00:48:08.000 Done.

00:48:09.000 Period. 0.99

00:48:09.000 Tyrant. 0.99

00:48:09.000 That's it. 0.99

00:48:09.000 You've crossed the line. 0.99

00:48:11.000 That's it.

00:48:12.000 not represent the views of Canadians. Don't even want to hear the rest. Unacceptable views. Done.

00:48:18.000 Tyrant. Period. That's it. You've crossed the line. That's it. No leader of an allegedly free 0.52

00:48:25.000 country gets to determine what is an unacceptable view outside of actual violent crime. Of course,

00:48:31.000 I need to say that. Done. That's it. You're a tyrant. He needs to be out. He also wrote this

00:48:36.000 on Tuesday, tweeting.

00:48:40.000 Today in the House, members of Parliament unanimously condemned the anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, anti-black racism, homophobia, and transphobia that we've seen on display in Ottawa over the past number of days. 0.93

00:48:52.000 This written by a guy who's a blackface connoisseur. 0.98

00:48:55.000 Well, it just so happens that we actually have one of these sexist, transphobic, racist truckers live on the show right now. 0.99

00:49:05.000 How are you doing, Stephen? 0.99

00:49:05.000 All right. 0.99

00:49:06.000 I am doing well.

00:49:07.000 I can't see you yet.

00:49:08.000 Hold on one second.

00:49:09.000 Tim the Toolman is going to bring you up.

00:49:10.000 For people who are watching, you can find him on the Twitter at BJ Dichter.

00:49:14.000 He's one of the spokespeople for the truckers right now, the Freedom Convoy.

00:49:19.000 He joined in late January.

00:49:21.000 And by the way, PolitiFact says there's only in the hundreds to low thousands of protesters.

00:49:26.000 We just heard that from the Prime Minister.

00:49:29.000 I've heard numbers as high as 50,000.

00:49:31.000 Mr. Dichter, thank you for being here.

00:49:33.000 Can you clarify that for us?

00:49:35.000 Well, I would never accuse the left of being terribly good at math or finances or anything like that, so it's thousands.

00:49:42.000 We have no idea.

00:49:43.000 It's been, you know, two weeks now, and we're still trying to aggregate data, see where certain teams are.

00:49:49.000 People are on farmers' fields all over the country.

00:49:53.000 And they're not, we can't get like a detailed account.

00:49:57.000 We will eventually, but it's literally thousands.

00:50:01.000 Steven, I just want to comment on what you said before.

00:50:04.000 You have a movement right now where the two spokespersons are a Metis woman and a Jew,

00:50:11.000 but blackface is the tolerant one.

00:50:15.000 That's the crown world that we live in.

00:50:16.000 Well, no, no, hold on a second. I have to fact check you.

00:50:18.000 By the way, if you could tilt the camera up a little bit, you have a wonderful clavicle and beard, but I do, there

00:50:22.000 you go, I want to see the face.

00:50:23.000 He's not just blackface. He was black body. He did his arms, he did his legs. Like, I don't think I've ever seen anyone 0.95

00:50:31.000 love, I wish I loved anything as much as Prime Minister Trudeau loved blackface. 0.95

00:50:34.000 I remember the banana.

00:50:36.000 Remember the banana he put in his pants? 0.63

00:50:37.000 Like, what the hell, man?

00:50:39.000 And he sang the banana song! 0.90

00:50:41.000 Dale!

00:50:42.000 Dale!

00:50:43.000 I mean, it couldn't be any worse, for crying out loud.

00:50:46.000 Now, before we move on... What was that?

00:50:50.000 Trudeau?

00:50:51.000 Oh, he did it like a million times.

00:50:52.000 We'll show you a highlight.

00:50:53.000 He doesn't know how many times he did it, remember?

00:50:55.000 Same with Blackface. 0.98

00:50:56.000 Yeah, I have to count his number of blackfaces. 1.00

00:50:59.000 I have to use an abacus. 0.95

00:51:00.000 You count them with bananas.

00:51:02.000 Yes, exactly.

00:51:03.000 And then it's like Donkey Kong, where you just do that level where you leave and go right back and you get the banana horde. 0.88

00:51:07.000 That's how many times he did blackface. 0.96

00:51:09.000 But let me ask you this.

00:51:11.000 PJ, you were late today because you fell in a ditch, I understand.

00:51:16.000 And we saw videos of people putting nails on the road yesterday.

00:51:20.000 Is that what happened?

00:51:21.000 Did you Mad Max?

00:51:22.000 You got nails on your tires?

00:51:24.000 You know, maybe that's what I'll tell my insurance company.

00:51:26.000 No, it's, uh, you remember how warm Canada is in the winter?

00:51:29.000 Well, it's one of those days where it's a sheet of ice and just, you know, the tail end slipped out and the next thing I knew... I've never had that before in my life.

00:51:29.000 Yes.

00:51:37.000 Next thing you know, I was in a ditch in a tree.

00:51:39.000 So, uh, we're off to a rockin' start at the convoy today.

00:51:42.000 It's only gonna get better from here, right?

00:51:44.000 Well, you were gonna call us in front of Parliament.

00:51:44.000 Right.

00:51:46.000 Where are you right now?

00:51:47.000 It looks like you're at a truck stop.

00:51:49.000 Or a bingo hole. 1.00

00:51:50.000 I'm in Canada!

00:51:51.000 Where else would I be if I'm in Canada other than Tim Hortons, right?

00:51:55.000 In a place that has no Uber, no rental cars, I don't have cellular signal, I don't know where I am, but I do have some people from the convoy who are going to rescue me.

00:52:06.000 Okay, well that's wonderful. 0.97

00:52:07.000 Those racist, xenophobic Nazis. 0.82

00:52:11.000 You should see what the fake news media is doing to me, because I got up on the stage in front of, I don't know, 30, 40, 50,000 people last week. 0.87

00:52:20.000 And I gave concrete examples of what I call the fake news CDC.

00:52:24.000 And I explained that last week, they were running a series of stories that our GoFundMe was frozen from the very beginning.

00:52:32.000 And I told my team, don't say anything.

00:52:34.000 Don't correct them.

00:52:35.000 I want to bait them.

00:52:37.000 So they went the entire week reporting, oh, it was for nefarious reasons or racist or whatever phobe, whatever.

00:52:44.000 But what was happening is we were just sharing paperwork back and forth.

00:52:48.000 And it takes, you know, GoFundMe is not the fastest when you set up a campaign.

00:52:52.000 Right.

00:52:52.000 Usually takes seven to ten days.

00:52:54.000 I know that's exactly what we're dealing with.

00:52:57.000 So once it was approved, it was, everything started, it was fine and we ran out, ran a presser that, you know, all the fake news that you've been reading has been fake and GoFundMe has started relinquishing, releasing the funds.

00:53:12.000 That was until two days ago.

00:53:14.000 I believe it was mainstream media people who were brigading the account and trying to mass report, which triggers the algorithm.

00:53:24.000 And now we're going back and forth with GoFundMe again.

00:53:26.000 But at least now we've got a team of lawyers who flew in, so it's not going to be advantageous for GoFundMe.

00:53:32.000 Well, first off, let me comment.

00:53:33.000 Well, that'll be fun.

00:53:34.000 It's just going to cost us some money.

00:53:35.000 Whatever. 0.98

00:53:36.000 That'll be fun, yeah, too, because your lawyers in Canada will have to pay for those silly 0.99

00:53:38.000 wigs. 0.98

00:53:39.000 They'll show up with their judges.

00:53:40.000 People don't realize here how it works.

00:53:43.000 But let me ask you this.

00:53:44.000 Well, first off, let me comment. 0.54

00:53:46.000 I always tell Americans they don't fully understand when they bitch about corporate media. 0.99

00:53:50.000 You just touched on CBC. 0.84

00:53:51.000 Americans don't know that's the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

00:53:54.000 The alternative is CBC, and that is government-run media.

00:53:58.000 So you have government-run media putting pressure on a private organization, GoFundMe, to stop

00:54:03.000 the funds for what?

00:54:05.000 A mass uprising, a mass peaceful uprising protesting the government.

00:54:09.000 Think of that.

00:54:10.000 Protest the government, government media says, GoFundMe, you better freeze these funds.

00:54:13.000 What is it up to, by the way?

00:54:14.000 How much have you guys raised in GoFundMe?

00:54:16.000 It's many, many millions.

00:54:19.000 Last I checked, it was $10,100,000, and that's when they put the hard stop on it.

00:54:24.000 So we can't receive any more funds.

00:54:26.000 So I actually put a post out yesterday saying, should we actually start collecting funds with Bitcoin by any chance?

00:54:34.000 And boom, people started sending me wallets saying, we've been collecting for you in Bitcoin already.

00:54:40.000 And the last wallet I saw, I got to confirm it today, but I had something like $46,000 in Bitcoin already.

00:54:46.000 Wow.

00:54:46.000 So, you know, where there's a will, there's a way, right?

00:54:48.000 Yeah, but you're going to have to deal with the pain in the ass of all the crypto people. 0.96

00:54:51.000 You should really be doing Ethereum. 1.00

00:54:52.000 It's like, shut up! 0.99

00:54:53.000 All right. 1.00

00:54:55.000 It's just going to be warring with each other.

00:54:56.000 And there's one person like, I'll mine some more.

00:54:59.000 Can you tell people here in the United States, Because they see bits and pieces out of context.

00:55:03.000 Okay.

00:55:04.000 What is this about?

00:55:05.000 I mean, it's obviously about protesting the vaccine mandate, but what is going on right now in Canada?

00:55:11.000 You know, I was raised there from 3 to 18, never experienced anything like this, which is going on, and I'm proud to see it.

00:55:18.000 What do Americans need to know if they're just tuning in right now and they go, what's going on with Canada?

00:55:22.000 Truckers?

00:55:23.000 Something?

00:55:24.000 Explain to them.

00:55:25.000 Okay, so first we're protesting the vaccine mandate and the vaccine passport.

00:55:31.000 So what is the vaccine passport?

00:55:32.000 That means anytime you come into Canada, you're going to have to have this app downloaded into your phone and it will track the status of your COVID shots.

00:55:42.000 So if you need more shots and you don't get them, then you don't pass.

00:55:47.000 You have to go back to the United States as a trucker And you have to get a PCR test and wait, whatever the period of time is, and then come back.

00:55:55.000 But the other thing is, this affects you guys as well, because the Biden administration is implementing the same thing.

00:56:03.000 However, we know from our friends within politics and journalism, apparently the Biden administration, even the Biden administration, had zero interest in this.

00:56:13.000 But the Trudeau government apparently lobbied the Biden administration and convinced them

00:56:13.000 Yes.

00:56:20.000 to adopt a similar process.

00:56:22.000 We don't know why.

00:56:23.000 We don't know if they're gonna be sharing data across the border with people going into the US

00:56:27.000 and vice versa.

00:56:29.000 But this is the basis of social credit.

00:56:32.000 And I explained when I was on Tucker Carlson, the first time I used it, I drove up to the booth

00:56:37.000 and I held up my passport.

00:56:39.000 And the guy says to me, I don't need to see it.

00:56:41.000 I'm like, what do you mean you don't need to see it?

00:56:43.000 He said, well, when your truck drives up and it's within a certain vicinity of the border,

00:56:49.000 all your details and information comes up on my computer.

00:56:53.000 So, and it's correlated with your passport.

00:56:55.000 So I can already see it.

00:56:55.000 You don't have to show it to me.

00:56:57.000 So when are we going to start implementing that across every city in Canada and then ultimately the United States?

00:56:57.000 Great.

00:57:04.000 Like this is crazy draconian stuff.

00:57:06.000 Yeah.

00:57:06.000 That's also tough for the booth operator.

00:57:07.000 Cause he's like, ah, I got to close all my windows of porn.

00:57:10.000 New truck came up.

00:57:12.000 Um, Well, now let me ask, did you have a question you were about to ask there, Gerald?

00:57:15.000 Hold on, Gerald is here.

00:57:16.000 Hold on, he has to ask it.

00:57:17.000 We have so many questions for you.

00:57:18.000 I appreciate you making the time.

00:57:19.000 I mean, especially considering that you just had airbags going off in your face.

00:57:21.000 Right, yeah, exactly.

00:57:22.000 Just proving that it's hard to drive on ice.

00:57:24.000 Thank you for making that point for me from yesterday.

00:57:27.000 But how long do you guys plan on staying?

00:57:30.000 I know right now that there's been some, I know that the police are saying that they were going to break stuff up and ask people to leave or force people to leave or give tickets or tow.

00:57:37.000 I don't know.

00:57:38.000 Sorry, 2024 maybe?

00:57:38.000 2022?

00:57:38.000 2020?

00:57:39.000 Why do we have to?

00:57:39.000 there right now as far as trucks and how long they intend on staying.

00:57:43.000 I don't know, 2022, 2020, sorry 2024 maybe.

00:57:48.000 Until things change.

00:57:49.000 I think we have to.

00:57:50.000 The thing is, is going around and building this narrative, you know, white supremacist

00:57:57.000 and a confederate flag.

00:57:59.000 It's Canada!

00:58:00.000 We don't have confederate flags in Canada.

00:58:01.000 I know, I was just like, you know, unless someone actually zoomed in on the English flag and distorted it and like, yeah, it kind of looks like a confederate flag.

00:58:08.000 I guess they're Union Jack.

00:58:09.000 But yeah, I saw it and immediately knew that it was a bad actor.

00:58:12.000 It's fairly north.

00:58:13.000 Well, the guy was wearing the black balaclava and I automatically assumed, oh, it's Justin Trudeau.

00:58:20.000 It's gotta be.

00:58:21.000 Especially because he was going, Dao!

00:58:25.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:58:27.000 So the thing is, we have some people on our command team, we have a central command, and we have ex-military and ex-police officers there.

00:58:35.000 So they know all the protocols of crowd control, making it safe, having emergency vehicle pathways, and in back and forth with the police over the past week, week and a half, They understand that as disorganized because it just blew

00:58:52.000 up and went parabolic, they understand that we're spending all of our time keeping

00:58:57.000 everybody's morale up, making it the biggest block party in Canada's history,

00:59:03.000 otherwise known as hashtag Trudeau's truck stop, right in front of his office,

00:59:07.000 and it's a party atmosphere.

00:59:09.000 It's great.

00:59:10.000 It's so much fun.

00:59:11.000 Well, I wouldn't use the term block party, because there's some members in Quebec who are like, hey, don't steal our name!

00:59:19.000 No, but Stephen, you'll understand this, and you explain this to the audience.

00:59:23.000 When I first got there the first day, before everything started, so the pre-day, there were, I couldn't believe this, Thousands of people, tens of thousands of people maybe, walking across the border from Quebec into Ottawa with Quebec flags and Ontario flags and we saw them all

00:59:45.000 Going to meet up with people, truckers from Alberta and Saskatchewan and Regina and whatever, and they were all just hanging out.

00:59:52.000 They couldn't speak to each other.

00:59:54.000 It was funny, they're trying to figure out how to speak English, how to speak French, but they're hugging each other, they're hanging out, and this is what happens when the media and our politicians get out of the way.

01:00:05.000 You know what?

01:00:05.000 People actually can unify.

01:00:07.000 It was the most beautiful experience I've ever seen in all my time in Canada.

01:00:13.000 It's like as though the Gavin Newsom Californians went to like Mississippi and decided to, you know, hold hands and unify together.

01:00:22.000 Well, you know what?

01:00:22.000 It was amazing.

01:00:23.000 I have still a lot of French Canadian family and a lot of people don't realize that Northern Quebecers, you know, once you go out of Montreal...

01:00:28.000 They tend to be pretty conservative.

01:00:30.000 Even the old separatists, a lot of it was based on some conservative ideas.

01:00:33.000 They just sort of got it wrong.

01:00:34.000 They thought that they were not being fairly represented in the taxation.

01:00:37.000 But a lot of them, you know, they're hunters up there.

01:00:39.000 I mean, I have an uncle who hunts caribou.

01:00:41.000 And they actually became big Trump fans.

01:00:44.000 Think about that.

01:00:45.000 Raymond Massé was like, man, I like Trump, call this that man, he's a man, you know?

01:00:52.000 And I was like, man, these French Canadians, they really have changed. 1.00

01:00:54.000 And here's one thing I want to point out, and I want to get back to, because we have a big portion of our audience that's Canadian, and I'd like you to tell us how we can help mobilize them too, but Americans don't fully understand this, you know, when they say, oh, big tech, it's not censorship because it's not government.

01:01:07.000 Look, for a place A place where we live, the United States, it's really

01:01:12.000 pretty bad and it's getting scary that they have these gatekeepers online. You know, you see

01:01:16.000 Spotify and Facebook and YouTube.

01:01:17.000 But at least, even you just mentioned Tucker Carlson, there are still options, even in

01:01:22.000 traditional media outlets. In a place like Canada, or people can exaggerate that and take a place

01:01:27.000 like Venezuela, where your only source of news when I was there, I know now you have like Rebel 1.00

01:01:31.000 News, things like that, but your only source of news is government funded.

01:01:35.000 The government telling big tech platforms who to remove is catastrophic, and there can be no protests.

01:01:43.000 There can no longer be any civil disobedience.

01:01:45.000 I don't think Americans realize it can all go away if the internet becomes this sort of authoritarian wasteland that we see Psaki and Joe Biden want.

01:01:56.000 Well, I think what's happening here is, in terms of the fake news media, so CBC, Toronto Star, when we had our first press conference, I went on to Twitter, and Jordis Peterson put up that graphic that the Toronto Star published, and, you know, the CBC was publishing fake news articles about us all week, so I went on to Twitter and I said, First press conference.

01:02:16.000 CBC and the Toronto Star are banned from our first conference.

01:02:20.000 And we've been bringing in all these, you know, independent creators, social media people, who are, you know, young independent journalists.

01:02:28.000 A couple people, one from the National Post and, you know, True North and Epoch Times, but the rest of them were all independent creators.

01:02:35.000 And I said to them, we sat down and I said, look, We're not going to have the CBC come in with their giant, you know, phallic camera that's 30 feet tall and 50 people and take up all the floor space.

01:02:49.000 This is for you guys.

01:02:51.000 We'll be here as long as you want.

01:02:53.000 Two hours, three hours, I don't care.

01:02:55.000 You ask us anything.

01:02:57.000 Let's have a dialogue and a conversation.

01:02:59.000 And Andrew Lawton from True North Center, who's a fantastic journalist.

01:03:04.000 I know Andrew, I met him about six years ago, yeah.

01:03:08.000 Oh, you froze him.

01:03:10.000 It is Canada.

01:03:11.000 Yeah, I was going to say, he's literally frozen as well.

01:03:15.000 His digital assets as well as his asset, they're all frozen.

01:03:18.000 It's potatoes.

01:03:21.000 Let's see if we need to hang up and call him back, because I want to tell people also, too, who are watching here in the United States and ask them about this.

01:03:28.000 Again, this is how important it is to have an open and free internet, and I don't just mean this as far as net neutrality and bandwidth.

01:03:34.000 I'm talking about people being able to have a dialogue.

01:03:36.000 Because that's how truth can get out.

01:03:38.000 That's why you don't want to keep, let's say, Maduro on Twitter and get rid of a Donald Trump or get rid of a convoy.

01:03:45.000 Because what you end up with is there are a few videos going around with this right now, and I want to show a clip.

01:03:50.000 Remember the Australia-style COVID camps?

01:03:52.000 Yeah.

01:03:54.000 They're seeing these being set up in places like British Columbia and Canada.

01:03:59.000 Here's someone who actually filmed it.

01:04:01.000 And of course, you don't see it on the Canadian-funded government broadcast.

01:04:05.000 Here.

01:04:07.000 Alright, so I've gone on a little trip and I'm in the middle, almost geographically the middle of British Columbia, just west of Vanderhoof and I came across this.

01:04:22.000 I'm like, what the hell?

01:04:24.000 It's like a jail in the middle of nowhere. 0.99

01:04:26.000 So if you don't believe it, wake the f**k up.

01:04:29.000 So who are these for?

01:04:29.000 Oh.

01:04:37.000 Who are all these camps for?

01:04:39.000 And why is there electric fences?

01:04:43.000 Electric fence and barbed wire.

01:04:45.000 It's a frickin' prison!

01:04:50.000 Hmm.

01:04:50.000 That is absolutely terrifying.

01:04:51.000 I think we lost BJ Dichter, but you know what?

01:04:54.000 The guy already gave us enough time and we're running late as it is.

01:04:56.000 People, you can follow him at BJ Dichter.

01:04:58.000 We'll have the information for the, if it's the GoFundMe or Bitcoin, whatever it is, we're going to make sure that we have it available.

01:05:04.000 Link in the description where you guys can go and support them.

01:05:07.000 Almost 10% of our audience is Canadian.

01:05:09.000 Yeah.

01:05:09.000 So we'll also be talking about this more.

01:05:11.000 This is something that hopefully ends up being mirrored in the United States.

01:05:14.000 And isn't it insane when you just think of how the media here And Trudeau.

01:05:18.000 He said, for example, I'll meet with people who I agree with.

01:05:20.000 Black Lives Matter was an excellent example of this. 0.95

01:05:24.000 That's not how democracy works.

01:05:26.000 That's not how a constitutional republic works.

01:05:28.000 The whole point is to have conversations with people you disagree with.

01:05:31.000 And by the way, especially if they're peaceful.

01:05:33.000 So you were kneeling for people who were violent.

01:05:37.000 And by people, I mean some, but certainly more than zero, which is what you're seeing from this convoy.

01:05:42.000 Zero acts of violence whatsoever But you don't meet with these folks.

01:05:46.000 And all these folks are asking is that you don't force upon them a digital coding software, that you don't spy on them.

01:05:54.000 The other activists are demanding that you, you know, I mean, depending which country you're in, destroy the nuclear family.

01:06:01.000 Reparations. 0.59

01:06:02.000 Reallocate resources from white businesses to black businesses. 0.99

01:06:05.000 You know, simple stuff. 0.97

01:06:06.000 Racist stuff.

01:06:06.000 These people are saying, just don't stick a needle in us and make us have to have a digital passport, eh?

01:06:12.000 And if you have to, just don't make the numbers six and then six and another sixth.

01:06:18.000 That's a fair—that's an easy ask.

01:06:20.000 I mean, go with sevens.

01:06:21.000 That's about the—all right, well look, I guess we'll tease it out.

01:06:24.000 This has been BJ Dictor, and we'll have him on again next week.

01:06:27.000 Yeah, there we go.

01:06:31.000 God, that's terrifying.

01:06:32.000 Nice fella. 1.00

01:06:33.000 And people don't realize.

01:06:34.000 I've never seen anything like that in Canada when I was raised there.

01:06:36.000 By the way, I love their response to it, though.

01:06:38.000 And I love that it was truck drivers who were like, alright, that's enough.

01:06:41.000 And like you said, it should be mirrored in the United States.

01:06:43.000 I think it is being mirrored right now.

01:06:44.000 There are plans, I think, in the works to do something like this in the U.S.

01:06:48.000 And thank God.

01:06:50.000 Somebody has to stand up to this.

01:06:51.000 Well, then they get removed from Facebook, though.

01:06:52.000 No, I know.

01:06:53.000 That's the promise, so you can't mobilize.

01:06:55.000 Think about this.

01:06:56.000 It's the government saying, hey, you need to do more.

01:06:58.000 AOC, right?

01:06:59.000 We just talked about it. 0.96

01:07:00.000 I know I'm being repetitive, but I hope I drill this in your skull.

01:07:03.000 Do you see the magnitude of elected representatives here in the United States?

01:07:09.000 Telling these platforms what to allow and what to ban.

01:07:13.000 Is the Freedom Convoy to DC with 130?

01:07:16.000 What's the misinformation there?

01:07:17.000 There hasn't even been a reason given at the time of this broadcast.

01:07:20.000 I'm sure they'll trump up some charges.

01:07:22.000 The government says, hey, they're not allowed.

01:07:24.000 And people are saying, we're going to go out and protest the government.

01:07:26.000 Facebook says, no, you're not.

01:07:28.000 Now, I get it.

01:07:29.000 They can allow.

01:07:30.000 But one side Yeah, and politicians aren't bailing these truckers out like they were with BLM or having Kamala Harris say, yeah, they should be bailed out and back on the streets, right?

01:07:39.000 lost and founds to gather peacefully and make their voices heard? That's no longer freedom.

01:07:45.000 And politicians aren't bailing these truckers out like they were with BLM or having Kamala 0.98

01:07:50.000 Harris say, yeah, they should be bailed out and back on the streets, right? We're contributing

01:07:54.000 to that fund. Right. You're helping facilitate what they're doing.

01:07:58.000 That your country has laws does not make it free.

01:08:01.000 It's are these laws applied equally.

01:08:03.000 And right now they're having these bullies, these thugs, in the big tech realm enforcing their laws selectively.

01:08:11.000 And that's a problem.

01:08:11.000 You were about to say something there, Dave.

01:08:13.000 I don't remember.

01:08:14.000 But I got your point.

01:08:18.000 Oh, do you think Windsor is a bit different, though, than that part of Canada?

01:08:22.000 Well, he's in Ottawa.

01:08:23.000 I mean, Canada is just... Here's the problem with Canada, and this is why I'm surprised by it.

01:08:28.000 You do have a country whose history is bowing to the royalty.

01:08:33.000 That's going to have a very different culture than the United States who fought off the 0.97

01:08:37.000 royalty.

01:08:38.000 And so just like, you know, people talk about gun crime in Japan, they say, well, in Japan,

01:08:42.000 they ban guns, there's no gun crime.

01:08:43.000 You're talking about people who were under the thumb of imperialism, and that's their

01:08:46.000 culture, right?

01:08:47.000 You can't compare the Japanese culture to the United States culture.

01:08:50.000 And by the way, it comes with serious ramifications that Americans would not want to have to

01:08:53.000 live with, including rampant racism.

01:08:56.000 But that being said, you do have Canadians who are very polite and kind of go along with

01:08:59.000 They're not nearly as disruptive.

01:09:00.000 This is a really big, uncomfortable step for people in Canada.

01:09:04.000 In the United States, we're used to protests like this.

01:09:06.000 In Canada, they usually never even get started, so it's a big deal.

01:09:09.000 Well, they only get started when they win the championships in hockey.

01:09:13.000 Well, they riot whether they win or lose.

01:09:15.000 Well, now.

01:09:15.000 Yeah, but they're happy riots.

01:09:20.000 I don't understand a happy riot.

01:09:22.000 We won! 0.99

01:09:22.000 Let's burn the car! 0.99

01:09:24.000 It's when riots are mostly peaceful.

01:09:27.000 Where have you been for the last two years?

01:09:29.000 Well that's actually what happened in Montreal.

01:09:31.000 The Canadians lost the Stanley Cup and if they won the Stanley Cup there was a riot.

01:09:34.000 And I remember laughing my ass off watching it where a guy on camera, this was me as a child, I just remember laughing like they were rioting, the guy was on top of a cop car, he busts a Levi's store window, grabs a stack of jeans, and the CBC was there and he goes, And he's drunk, and then another guy who is larger than him walks on the hood of the cop car and takes the stack from him and walks away.

01:09:57.000 And that guy's like, hey!

01:09:59.000 And he's looking for a police officer.

01:10:00.000 I'm going, that's the law.

01:10:02.000 That's how it works.

01:10:03.000 I need to report my stolen goods.

01:10:07.000 They've been re-stolen, officer.

01:10:09.000 Well, it's just like, you know, when Black Lives Matter, they say, yeah, and then you shouldn't have guns. 0.92

01:10:13.000 Well, what do we do? 0.63

01:10:13.000 We call the racist cops. 0.63

01:10:14.000 All right.

01:10:15.000 Thank you.

01:10:15.000 I appreciate that circular non-logic.

01:10:17.000 Hey, before we... Well, actually, you know what?

01:10:19.000 Let me try and hit this story here.

01:10:21.000 OK. 1.00

01:10:22.000 You know, the other day, Neil Young, he was being an asshole. 1.00

01:10:25.000 Well... 1.00

01:10:26.000 But it turns out he has a long history of that.

01:10:28.000 And actually, thanks to Dave and some people on the research team here, we found some of his horrible tweets that would warrant getting anybody else canceled.

01:10:36.000 Not him.

01:10:37.000 No, not Neil Young.

01:10:38.000 No, of course not.

01:10:38.000 Because Joe Rogan interviewing doctors is more problematic than this direct quote from Neil Young in an interview with Melody Maker in 1985.

01:10:47.000 He backed Reagan's gun control policies and he said this of AIDS, you go to a supermarket and you see a, I don't even know if I can say this word, fag and then get behind The fucking cash register. 0.98

01:11:01.000 You don't want him to handle your potatoes. 0.99

01:11:03.000 And there are more, by the way.

01:11:04.000 All references are available at lightearthcarrier.com.

01:11:05.000 It's quoting him.

01:11:05.000 I'm quoting him directly.

01:11:07.000 You're not gonna catch AIDS?

01:11:08.000 Come on! 0.61

01:11:09.000 I'm quoting the great Neil Young, but I don't know if this shouldn't have come as a surprise.

01:11:14.000 Yeah.

01:11:14.000 Because if you've actually heard the original lyrics to After the Gold Rush, we did some digging and we found this old nightclub recording of Neil Young.

01:11:25.000 Hey guys, it's me, Neil Young, and I want to thank you for your support.

01:11:31.000 I've got a song here I'm going to sing about something I said in 1985.

01:11:35.000 I'm here to fight Spotify, as you know.

01:11:38.000 I just want you to know that some things are not about money.

01:11:41.000 Some things are about the truth, eh?

01:11:44.000 And it's important to fight misinformation.

01:11:47.000 Alright?

01:11:51.000 Here we go.

01:12:00.000 I get scared when I go to buy potatoes and the cashier is a queen.

01:12:10.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:12:11.000 You know what?

01:12:11.000 There's no way we're going to be able to play this on YouTube.

01:12:13.000 And I don't want to take the heat for... I can take the heat for things that I say.

01:12:16.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:12:17.000 I don't want to get struck on YouTube for stuff that Neil Young says.

01:12:20.000 No, that Neil Young literally said.

01:12:22.000 And you know what?

01:12:22.000 You know what?

01:12:23.000 Here's the thing.

01:12:24.000 I support his... I... I... Support his right to say it.

01:12:27.000 Right.

01:12:28.000 But I don't like what... It's a little too far.

01:12:30.000 It's a bit too much.

01:12:31.000 Neil Young is a little, it's a little too much.

01:12:33.000 Yeah.

01:12:33.000 I agree.

01:12:34.000 Robert Byrd is watching going like, oh man.

01:12:36.000 You're like, come on dude, it's just potatoes.

01:12:37.000 Pull it back a little bit, okay?

01:12:38.000 Yeah.

01:12:39.000 Maybe Spike Lee will make a film about it, but you know what, let's, we have the full recording.

01:12:43.000 Yeah.

01:12:44.000 Thank you, B.J.

01:12:44.000 Dichter.

01:12:45.000 By the way, if you're watching on YouTube, smash that like button.

01:12:47.000 Yeah.

01:12:47.000 And comment below.

01:12:48.000 The best thing you can do for the algorithm is comment, but hitting the like helps as well.

01:12:52.000 And let me know... I know he's trying to hit both things.

01:12:55.000 Let me know if you want to see us continue the Mug Club-Bos because we stopped that because it was way too high budget. 0.98

01:12:59.000 And unless enough of you vote below, then we're just gonna stop it.

01:13:05.000 Let's finish the Neil Young, but not here.

01:13:07.000 YouTube, this is for your own good.
