hello everyone good evening good afternoon this is friday it's been such a long week i'm here
00:00:12.560
with celine gallup celine how are you doing i'm doing fantastic today was uh very very fun to

00:00:27.600
freedom convoy i don't know how to call him anymore he testified in the role that he's not an organizer
00:00:32.520
he's not he's not the leader i'd say keeper key person key figure yeah i just prefer volunteer
00:00:39.000
it's just it's a you know in truth all of us were volunteers everybody was volunteer so to to try to
00:00:47.200
create these labels what's the point every canadian that went there voluntarily went to ottawa for the
00:00:52.680
convoy no you're definitely right so i guess tom morazzo he he figured film convoy and yeah so
00:00:59.580
how are you doing tom today i'm good uh it's been a crazy it's just been a really bizarre week
00:01:07.160
and this afternoon was uh the the the icing on the cake yeah yeah so just just before we we fully

00:02:03.880
that's number one number two um tom morazzo has a book so i don't know if tom you want to talk
00:02:09.760
about your book a little bit yeah we can talk about it i'm still writing the book um i i've
00:02:16.400
i've taken a little bit of a break from writing the book just because of my participation in the in
00:02:21.440
the inquiry but i think the uh the witness list is going to allow me a little bit of a breathing room
00:02:27.340
next week to to get back and and do some more writing and uh yeah so i i'm looking forward to
00:02:34.320
getting back to writing the book and and for quite a while i actually i actually consider getting a
00:02:41.240
ghostwriter because i was concerned about the time but i i just felt like i i had to do it myself like
00:02:48.560
i really had to write this in my own words um and for quite a while i actually struggled with
00:02:54.040
even writing the book i i wasn't sure that it was just my story to tell and i had some conversations
00:03:01.860
and uh with some of the other volunteers of the convoy uh and i kind of felt like i was
00:03:08.420
in a sense given i don't want to say the word permission but uh uh agreement that it was
00:03:17.620
appropriate that i write my version of the book right so what's what's the book about basically
00:03:21.860
the book is about your your i've got a dream convoy yeah i basically my my experience so i've got a
00:03:27.960
couple of rules that i'm guiding myself when i write this book and one is uh if for the most part
00:03:33.860
the rule is i got to treat it like a gopro so if i if the gopro doesn't see what happened it's not
00:03:39.860
going to be in the book um and then the last few weeks i think that's wise yeah yeah and then i think
00:03:45.560
the other thing is um the book is not about uh criticizing anybody um if anything the only people
00:03:52.440
in it will be criticized would be you know obviously the government and their actions
00:03:56.420
uh and truthfully myself yeah uh for any of the the mistakes that i think that i made during the uh
00:04:04.000
the convoy but there's no reason for me to cast anybody in a bad light i'm just telling the this
00:04:09.420
the truth from what i remember what my recollection of the experience was yeah do you have a date in
00:04:14.920
mind for what that'll be released yes i do it'll be released uh 14th of february which is the one
00:04:20.540
year anniversary of the invocation of the emergency act i love that it's not because of uh what's the
00:04:27.100
day valentine's um and uh the the book is called the people's emergency act and so i think it's an
00:04:36.200
appropriate name for that because a good friend of mine um who was in in windsor i found out after
00:04:42.520
he was in windsor and was arrested and he he said to me one day he says you know the convoy
00:04:47.440
was the people's emergency act because after two years nobody was listening and so i thought that
00:04:53.740
was just a brilliant insight and a great name for the book so that's what it's going to be called
00:04:59.060
that's why that's why it's called the people's emergency act well that that'll be a great book
00:05:02.860
i truly look forward to it's uh it's really some reading reading about it other things as well if
00:05:07.940
you guys want to chat with us you can always go on rumble or others and say send paid chats
00:05:13.300
if you send if you send a couple we'll be able to read them at the end of the live stream and also
00:05:19.260
one last thing tom you're only wearing a dress shirt today last time last time we spoke in live
00:05:24.500
you were better dressed than me we're having a great a great suit today i i have the thigh i have
00:05:29.560
the suit yeah what weren't you wearing well the thing is this like the tie that you're wearing was
00:05:34.000
the tie that i had on i think at the beginning of last week so technically i don't know yeah
00:05:40.920
evidence of this this is a great shirt though this is a great shirt i do my monologues in this shirt
00:05:45.580
because it's such a comfortable shirt yeah well it definitely is guys comment down below in the
00:05:50.140
comment section who you think is the better dress between me and tom all right let's get to what
00:05:54.500
happens don't pick on seniors let's get to what happens today at the commission let's take a look
00:06:00.180
at clip number one um from tamara leach's testimony let's take a look at that suggestion was made to
00:06:09.160
have children leave the red zone seems pretty clear to me that you were given the message right
00:06:15.860
i was never told i needed to leave so the plt's uh that's fabricated i remember when they came in
00:06:26.880
and we had the discussion or um and i as it says became very upset i believe i said something to
00:06:35.360
the effect of i cannot believe that you're about to do this to your own people we were there protesting
00:06:40.560
peacefully and i the rest of that interaction i i was upset and i was crying and i right oh my god you
00:06:48.480
were upset and you were crying because it was over and they told you to leave
00:06:52.080
i was upset and i was crying because of what they were proposing to do to canadian citizens
00:06:58.780
and they told you to depart and they told you to message that to others
00:07:02.620
i don't recall them telling me to message that to others or that i was that i needed to leave
00:07:07.680
i'm sorry you know it was suggested it seems to me your memory is selective when i take you to
00:07:13.920
something that implicates you you have no memory of that that's inflammatory and i've my friend wants
00:07:19.720
to take the stand and become a witness and give opinions about credibility that's fine but that's
00:07:25.860
so i guess i guess we'll we'll start with you saline where did you make of tamara's testimony
00:07:31.760
today um yeah okay so today was day two tamara's testimony um it was very impactful it was um
00:07:39.920
exactly what i thought it would be i mean she was very precise and concise with what she chose to
00:07:45.080
to speak about and talk about in this particular clip that we just watched here how do you pronounce
00:07:49.820
his name i'll i will destroy it do you the lawyer the ops yeah lawyer i'm not i'm not entirely sure
00:07:55.300
i thought he was quite cranky this morning and definitely had a bone to pick with tamara
00:07:59.300
especially i mean that definitely was an inflammatory comment that he made there i didn't see him
00:08:04.960
make any other retorts to anyone else giving testimonies so yeah 100 what about you tom what did you
00:08:10.780
make of tamara's testimony today well during her cross-examination because you were here i think
00:08:15.120
i think that she spoke to tamara's testimony yeah yesterday yeah so there was there was i don't know
00:08:21.660
there's so many lawyers in the room uh obviously i think there's like four rows of of lawyers uh on
00:08:27.040
both sides of the room and that particular lawyer he comes up all the time i unfortunately i don't know
00:08:33.180
his name um but you know sometimes in in being a lawyer i think you don't always have to be a great
00:08:42.820
lawyer for your uh for your client uh and unfortunately i my feeling was that today maybe
00:08:49.260
would have been a good day for him not to be such a good lawyer because he was really really aggressive
00:08:55.600
and he was attacking on many different fronts and if we i don't know if we're going to get into
00:09:00.620
talking about chris deering and maggie but uh his his cross to them today was uh it was it was
00:09:08.380
quite offensive but he they're grasping at straws right and from my perspective at this point
00:09:14.620
a lot of what you're hearing in the room depending on which which law firm you're dealing with or their
00:09:21.420
client they represent this is all about lawsuits at this point we some of these these factions in the
00:09:29.560
the room have moved away from the inquiry and they're now covering their butts because of the
00:09:34.600
pending law firm uh lawsuits yeah so that was an example to me where he wasn't so much talking about
00:09:40.920
the the uh emergency act yeah this is about future lawsuits yeah yeah of course well i think that that's
00:09:48.520
that's the reason why the ops is there i think that's the reason why uh former chief slowly's council
00:09:53.240
is there as well as because they know there's going to to be something happening in the future
00:09:57.560
the lawsuit between the ops and slowly perhaps and even the opp does i i think that's the reason why
00:10:02.600
they're all there they're all there to defend themselves now as we keep talking about there's
00:10:06.600
only a few parties are there including the commission and the gccf and the lawyers like
00:10:12.280
brendan miller and that's sheba they're actually there to figure out whether or not the emergencies
00:10:16.520
act was used rightfully and justified that's well you know what's interesting is you know i was there
00:10:21.080
at the ghg20 summit in 2010 and to this day there's still ongoing lawsuits and we're talking 12 and a
00:10:28.120
half years later so that was one or two days as well but we're going to be seeing lawsuits from from
00:10:36.680
this event in february going on beyond the next decade it is yeah it is my personal experience from
00:10:42.600
covering um other court proceedings that the wheels of justice grind and squeak and do anything but turn
00:10:47.880
easily so right now with the the whole pressure it was put on our justice system during the pandemic
00:10:54.040
yeah let's keep having trials about pandemic tickets because you went to visit your family
00:11:00.040
yeah in their home nor justice system the pandemic definitely showed um the how weak or strong if you
00:11:06.600
want to put it that way our system system actually is oh no yeah right there's a bunch of stuff to get
00:11:10.680
to in terms of tamaralisha's testimony let's get to clip number two um that we have today
00:11:19.080
and you're right we uh or the letter says we have made a plan to consolidate our best our protest
00:11:24.120
efforts around parliament hill we will be working hard over the next 40 24 hours to get buy-in from the
00:11:30.840
truckers we hope to start repositioning our trucks on monday and that's worded that way because at that
00:11:38.040
point the best that you could offer the mayor was efforts to get buy-in from the truckers right well
00:11:44.920
we needed to go out and speak to them and talk to them about about what we thought was going to be a
00:11:49.800
good idea yes and it was important to you i take it to make clear that what had been agreed to
00:12:00.440
was nothing more than moving the trucks out of the residential neighborhoods right
00:12:06.120
it was a step one yeah that's how i viewed it it was it was progress it was the more progress than
00:12:19.320
saline um it was progress to me there are so many pressures that we don't understand that uh these
00:12:28.920
appointed organizers right by the people we're facing i believe that it was progress no matter what
00:12:35.320
there was thousands of people there those trucks are not small like there was a lot in terms of
00:12:41.320
organization in terms of how does one i mean i can't even think about driving a big truck let alone
00:12:48.520
you know trying to move it out under the pressures that they were facing so i think that it was indeed
00:12:53.240
progress and we still saw your kind of organizers being able to assemble the people and actually get
00:12:57.560
the trucks to move to the location that they were supposed to move and the city still cutting out of the
00:13:03.160
deals yeah yeah and and i think you know the the operative word in that whole statement was the
00:13:09.000
word hope and and there's another perspective on this as well one there was concrete barriers
00:13:16.840
two we obviously had challenges getting fuel to vehicles and a lot of the fuel was meant just for the
00:13:23.640
generators in the vehicles as well to to keep people warm yeah in the trucks but the other issue is
00:13:30.360
these are big pieces of of equipment right big vehicles there's a safety aspect to this for the
00:13:36.360
public yeah and for the police officers around the vehicles and to the actual vehicle itself because
00:13:44.200
you don't want those big expensive vehicles colliding with things and and so you have to be very
00:13:50.120
deliberate in your your movement of these things so you can't it's not like moving your little tiny
00:13:55.960
honda civic right it's a little bit more complicated than that i mean visibility is an issue when you're
00:14:01.080
surrounded by the the public that are there to support you safety becomes a real issue so you
00:14:06.520
can't rush through this yeah and so that is that was a factor that we all had to consider with with this
00:14:13.000
as well and then if you mix in bad weather because at one point we did start to get rain then we got
00:14:19.240
freezing so there was ice then we got a snowstorm so there's there's a weather element to this as well and then
00:14:24.680
there's night time right so visibility gets reduced at night time so there's lots of challenges so to
00:14:30.520
say that we hope to get it done by a certain time it's factoring in all of these different variables
00:14:36.120
you know it sounds pretty simple when you break it down that way almost like it's like common sense
00:14:42.280
yeah for sure yeah 100 i think there's there's the environmental issue plus there's the fact that every
00:14:48.440
trucker is its own sovereign being yes right you you couldn't just order them
00:14:53.000
i'm telling you to move the truck you are going to move the truck you had to convince them you had
00:14:57.240
to you know have a discussion with them and you know tell them that's the plan we have for cities
00:15:01.480
that we're able to continue to peacefully protest these authoritarian vaccine mandates if you do so
00:15:06.920
we will be able to continue demonstrating peacefully in ottawa how was that process like talking to people
00:15:12.040
were they're usually compliant or did you sometime you know fall on the cracks with some of them well there
00:15:17.240
was there was challenges talking to some drivers and it and it really did matter who went up and
00:15:22.680
talked to the driver so we we heard the evidence and this is true this is why we sent chris barbara
00:15:27.880
out there often to say chris go talk to the guys yeah and the girls and they would just comply i mean
00:15:33.800
i'm not a truck driver look at the way i'm dressed right i'm not going to go up there and have this instant
00:15:39.400
rapport with with truck drivers that have no idea who i am but when you send chris out to do it it's easy but
00:15:45.480
there was occasions that you know eva and i both for two hours sat in a in a french canadian uh guy's
00:15:52.760
truck and it was this pickup truck for two hours trying to negotiate with him and reason with him
00:15:58.440
to to convince him why you know it was a good idea for him to move yeah and and so it becomes a challenge
00:16:05.560
depending on who you are right and it takes time to build rapport with people and get them to understand
00:16:10.200
what you're thinking and even then to trust you and we got that eva and i got that trust that
00:16:15.400
day and we worked for hours and then the leadership of the ops ruined the deal and it wasn't slowly it
00:16:23.720
was an into one or two individuals and in key positions that that ruined the deal for everybody
00:16:29.080
and then we lost trust in the police the police what we saw in the testimony said that we couldn't
00:16:36.840
actually deliver well we couldn't deliver because you kind of screwed us yeah right and it all that work
00:16:43.800
was lost all that trust that we built was lost and so i don't want to say that these people were
00:16:51.480
difficult it's just that there was a history there that the ottawa police had had earned of mistrust
00:16:58.280
between the truckers on especially on that redo corner because the police kept lying and tricking
00:17:03.640
them to moving their vehicles so you couldn't trust them you know we talked about the deal because we've
00:17:08.280
been talking about it for the past three weeks but there's some people that are only tuning in now
00:17:12.120
the inquiry can you tell us a little bit more about what the deal was yeah so we had a an arrangement
00:17:16.680
with the city to to do our best to clear the intersection at rito and um essex or wessex one of
00:17:25.160
the sussex or something yeah yeah that corner there uh to clear it and and it was a it was a high
00:17:33.800
priority for the city and i think the reason it was a high priority for the city is one it was within
00:17:39.160
like view of the united states consulate or embassy yeah uh there was also other business interest on
00:17:45.800
that that intersection it was a good like flow through route for them that that had an impact on
00:17:52.760
buses and getting to the rito center for public transportation that kind of stuff so you go there
00:17:58.280
and if you look you would have realized why it became a priority for them and we were willing to
00:18:02.840
do that and we were willing to try and help get the vehicles out of the more residential areas
00:18:09.400
and we wanted everything up on wellington from a tactical point of view and i and i use the term
00:18:14.680
loosely okay but from a tactical point of view we knew that kind of put us in a weird situation for
00:18:21.080
to make it easier for the police to sweep through like they did on the last two days but as we saw
00:18:26.280
they cleared through anyway yeah uh so it wasn't a huge sort of giveaway for us um and also based on
00:18:34.040
the fact that the all the protesters remained peaceful i mean the police could have swept through
00:18:39.160
any time that they wanted yes that was understood yes but people also are talking about and it was my
00:18:43.880
understanding that even just for the couple of days that i was there there was a lot of rumors and
00:18:48.360
speculation going on through like radio communication about potential dangers and i believe that also
00:18:54.280
halted them from being able to move on a moment's notice because they were afraid they're afraid when
00:18:59.000
people came up to their windows if it was at night and they're being told to move these are all
00:19:03.240
pressures and dangers that they were dealing with that i don't think anyone can understand except the
00:19:07.160
people that were in those trucks hearing those things i mean you're living in those trucks and
00:19:11.320
truckers were in there for weeks and what's interesting to know is that ottawa citizens were
00:19:15.160
taking them into their homes letting them have showers and doing laundry and feeding them and
00:19:20.280
stuff and giving them a break so they could sleep in a bed for the night and there's
00:19:28.360
there was a lot of resistance to moving off of that corner because it you know the truckers weren't
00:19:33.480
there for themselves the individuals were not there for themselves they were there for their families and
00:19:39.000
for their entire communities yeah you know when you're you're sent off in this big grandiose parade
00:19:44.360
from your community you know that you're not going there as an individual you're carrying your entire
00:19:50.440
community into into ottawa and that was never lost on the people that were were in ottawa yeah never and
00:19:58.840
a lot of these people already felt like outcasts because they were there to protest the federal mandates
00:20:04.760
yeah so they put themselves out even further in a more vulnerable position to be able to
00:20:10.280
yeah be there be there for everybody in a consistent theme that we've heard throughout
00:20:14.680
this entire thing when we've had a chance to uh to testify is everybody was
00:20:24.280
everybody knew that we were no longer welcome to participate in the society that you know we helped
00:20:31.240
built we were forbidden we were ostracized we were targeted by friends families neighbors co-workers
00:20:39.800
definitely by justin trudeau yeah definitely by his bullhorn the mainstream media and we were deliberately
00:20:46.360
targeted with hate speech as far as i'm concerned yeah and you know they're looking at us as you know uh
00:20:53.080
an inspiration of hate but leadership starts at the top in this federal government and it came from
00:20:59.480
the just from justin trudeau's mouth himself and said we will why should we tolerate these people
00:21:07.720
you know what i mean like this is the guy that was elected to represent the country
00:21:11.960
he started the rhetoric and it just rolled downhill onto all of our backs yeah and to this day i still get
00:21:22.840
called all sorts of vile things on social media by by people that just seem to be so easily hypnotized
00:21:30.600
by justin trudeau's nice hair pre-haircut every summer and the rhetoric that comes out of his mouth
00:21:37.720
on cbc well even tamara touch on is you know the fact that justin trudeau was using divisive words
00:21:44.360
to um unite canadians that that's his world of prime minister is supposed to unite canadians and you're
00:21:49.080
dividing the country you're dividing he's been doing it since he was elected even before he was
00:21:53.080
elected quebec versus alberta yes quebecers are better than albertans okay well we should have
00:21:58.920
more people in quebec then we should have people from alberta in our government that's what justin
00:22:03.480
trudeau was saying even before he was elected justin trudeau divided a lot of people right i think
00:22:08.120
tamara's testimony touched on a lot of things and i was glad right after she ended her whole testimony
00:22:13.880
had lasted nearly a full day because she did half of it yesterday and half of it yes yeah i was able
00:22:18.680
to have a quick interview with eva chipiok one of the one of the many lawyers for tomorrow let's
00:22:23.080
take a look at how uh how my quick instruction with uh with eva forever ever went the best lawyer ever
00:22:31.560
so can you can you just recap from what you saw how much time you want for uh what did you see
00:22:36.440
from tamara's testimony what's what are the main takeaways well it was really finally an opportunity
00:22:41.240
for canada to hear the truth of what really occurred with miss leach for the time she was in
00:22:48.120
ottawa and preparations for ottawa everything happened at such an expedited speed it was incredible
00:22:55.160
the word organizer i think she spoke to it for me has always been very difficult you what happened
00:23:03.000
couldn't have been organized in a month's time basically it was a day-to-day activity it was just
00:23:08.680
canadians coming together for the first time in a long time working together on a common goal
00:23:15.960
really to come together to talk about the overreach the federal government provincial governments
00:23:23.560
even municipal governments imposed on their citizens and citizens came together
00:23:29.880
on parliament hill to hold their government to account and and we finally heard the story from
00:23:38.280
miss leach's side you said she wasn't an organizer was she was she a leader how did you describe her
00:23:43.160
role in the convoy because i think it's a little bit unclear yeah and i think it's going to remain
00:23:47.240
unclear yeah forever um again because everything happened at such a rapid pace and even she mentioned
00:23:54.840
yesterday or today somebody asked her about how quickly the deal came together with the the mayor
00:24:00.840
everything was organic everything happened at such a quick pace how do you organize something like that
00:24:08.360
it's virtually impossible you're just living you're in the moment and you're doing what you can to
00:24:14.840
ensure that as she continued to say things remain peaceful um everyone abided by the law and that is what
00:24:22.600
she advocated if that's what she organized peace then i'll give you that one and one last thing for me
00:24:28.920
can you explain why the ops objected some of the evidence being presented the panel that we saw earlier
00:24:34.040
at the ops the ottawa coalition the opp as well yeah so um and as just uh our commissioner rouleau has
00:24:41.640
said many times everything's moving at a very fast pace so it was a procedural issue very lawyerly as you
00:24:48.280
saw so there's rules of procedure and evidence and they were objecting because that evidence those
00:24:53.720
videos were filed a little bit later in the game uh it wasn't as late as what we saw with uh diane dean's
00:25:00.200
evidence that came in that morning the recording and we saw how the commissioner handled that he said
00:25:05.400
first we want to know why this evidence is late and let's hear it first so he kind of had the same
00:25:10.680
um procedure with uh this evidence that came a bit later it's all public information as well this is
00:25:18.280
stuff that's on youtube it's not some secret government document or organizational document
00:25:23.640
that came about so everyone had their cell phone like somebody said today um none of this is hidden
00:25:29.480
evidence but of course you know it's to be fair to all parties to have that evidence in advance perfect
00:25:34.760
thanks eva you're very welcome thank you eva such a great story i feel like all of your lawyers are
00:25:41.160
are excellent but you know i live i live with them all uh right now for this this inquiry and i have to
00:25:48.040
say every day is such an amazing experience with them i mean keith and eva and i and some of the others
00:25:56.040
we spent every day together during the actual convoy that's right and um i've been in constant contact
00:26:02.200
with them throughout the uh you know since the convoy but now i i live with keith and tamara lives with
00:26:08.120
eva and that's because of tamara's bail conditions right uh so when i when i sit and i learn about how
00:26:18.120
the lawyers think about the law and how they their their their processes and stuff like that i find it
00:26:24.680
absolutely fan like just so fascinating to watch yeah and you know they're worse than i i said to
00:26:33.080
him last night we were still up like 11 30 last night and i i realized they never stop like they
00:26:40.840
never ever stop and it's brilliant to watch them and i if i was 10 years younger i would consider
00:26:46.920
law school just so that i could work with these guys like as an actual lawyer i would do it if i was
00:26:51.480
10 years younger but uh i don't want i don't want the a law firm taking my training wheels off when
00:26:57.000
i'm 60 yeah so i'm not going to do it yeah uh but it is incredible to to be around these amazing lawyers
00:27:05.880
and and they're unusual lawyers very very unusual people because i remember when we were in the convoy
00:27:11.480
saying what's with you guys how come all your peers have like vacated and uh they said well just
00:27:17.480
that's just because we're weird it's right weird in the best possible way uh and they're here
00:27:25.480
for their kids in their communities and for canada that they're not here for money
00:27:30.200
they're not here for money no of course and just just before we move on to to two more things because
00:27:35.080
there's so much to talk about both from tamara's testimony and the other testimonies that we saw
00:27:38.760
today um let's take a look at the clip where tamara actually talks about what eva just mentioned
00:27:43.960
because eva mentioned a lot of things in our short interview but one thing that she mentioned was
00:27:49.160
the relationship that the convoy people have with the city of ottawa and the mayor the level of
00:27:54.360
garments let's take a look at what samara had to say about that so it the actual goal with respect to
00:28:02.920
freedom corp as well as the the protesters that you were representing their actual goal was not to
00:28:10.200
achieve a meeting with the mayor but it was to deal with this in a peaceful manner can you elaborate on
00:28:17.000
that yes well that was obviously our goal and and again to get the trucks off the residential streets
00:28:24.920
um we were hoping to find a way that the trucks that did have to move their vehicles out of the city
00:28:30.920
would have be able to come back in and and continue the protest and again we felt it was a step in the
00:28:38.760
right direction and meeting with the mayor was not one of my goals but i thought again it was a way to
00:28:46.360
open some dialogue with somebody in a position of authority i think the re the reason why it wasn't one
00:28:54.040
of her goals or one of your goals as a matter of fact because you were here to process federal
00:28:58.120
governments vaccine man they had nothing to do with the municipal level uh but did you guys have
00:29:03.480
hope of being able to meet with the mayor i might be the wrong guy to ask that question um
00:29:15.080
it was it wasn't my hope or my it wasn't even my interest yeah to meet with the mayor because
00:29:23.640
i didn't see him as being of any value to our cause yeah i wanted to me personally i wanted to
00:29:32.280
meet with a senior police officer because i felt that i would have had a better chance of developing
00:29:38.520
a relationship and a rapport with the people that we would be daily interacting with whereas the mayor
00:29:44.600
was going to be sort of out there on the uh the periphery and you wouldn't be able to trust him
00:29:51.160
and you wouldn't really in in by law the the politicians cannot direct police operations
00:29:56.760
so it was my goal was uh in in many of us we had many discussions was to always take the pressure
00:30:04.360
off of the residents and then we thought that if we take the pressure off the residents they'll stop
00:30:10.920
calling the politicians the politicians will stop harassing the police chief but you and i have been on
00:30:17.320
doing these shows for uh what we're on three years yeah three years three years not three
00:30:22.280
meters three years and well long okay keith wilson said it's been on our day today i said really because
00:30:29.320
it just feels that way three years anyway we've been doing this for three years and in those three
00:30:35.160
years that we've been doing this show together uh you being my co-host
00:30:38.920
we've been talking about the fact every day that nobody wanted to talk to us nobody wanted to talk
00:30:48.920
to us yeah we were trying to get the meetings with the right people we're always trying to send the
00:30:53.240
right uh you know be safe responsible send that message clearly to the police and in the highest
00:30:59.960
ranking person we ever dealt with that i dealt with was on the police side was two sergeants right and
00:31:07.000
we got two meetings with the the city manager that's as far as we ever actually got like tamara
00:31:13.240
never met the mayor it was there was an intermediary between tamara and the mayor yeah so so they didn't
00:31:18.840
even respect us enough to send their mayor so i just felt like it was a colossal waste of time to
00:31:25.720
focus on him i thought let's focus on the police and that'll be the good interface between us and we can
00:31:32.520
we can work with the police make it safe responsible consolidate all the vehicles onto
00:31:37.000
wellington and that puts pressure on the federal government because the federal government was the
00:31:41.560
only group in this city that had the power to end the mandates wasting our time with the mayor
00:31:47.960
was just wasting our time with the mayor well exactly you like there was an amount of um
00:31:56.440
eminency uh that was desired right yeah in order to get the attention for the right people there was a
00:32:02.280
lot of politicians talking at you talking at the movement and about us exactly so what good did that
00:32:09.480
do right it's like hearsay all you're gonna do is just gossip and gossip and and the misinformation
00:32:15.320
that was spread didn't help anybody that's been revealed not anyone from um the ops the opp
00:32:21.320
nobody on the ground not the convoyers so why was it done i don't think anyone was looking to deal
00:32:26.840
or or to actually initiate talking to anybody well why was it done i think it's it's pretty clear the
00:32:31.880
reason why it was done without saying yeah yeah pretty obvious yeah and you know the prime minister
00:32:37.960
was uh he hid from us which is weird because we expected my my expectation was uh because the two
00:32:44.360
other protests in canadian history he had sent an envoy to talk to other protests he'd also taken a
00:32:49.800
knee at blm he had also gone to london ontario when that that uh young disturbed man drove over that
00:32:56.600
family killed killing four people yeah during a lockdown i believe or at least the height of the
00:33:01.800
the masks and and closed down an entire street like he he's very selective on where and when the virus
00:33:10.840
actually was a threat to public safety yeah if it was for political gain the virus was something we
00:33:17.560
could we could mitigate but for everyday canadians forget it right so there was i was getting phone
00:33:26.520
calls to to deal with the city and i was like it's a waste of time our our objective is to get the
00:33:32.680
meeting with the with the prime minister and we thought we naively thought he would at least send some
00:33:38.360
sort of an envoy and he he just hid from us um like a coward and not like a leader who actually
00:33:47.000
wanted to hear the concerns of his own citizens because deep down i'm pretty sure he understands
00:33:52.120
that he's been the most of divisive figure in this country yeah and i yeah no for sure and i think um
00:33:59.720
you know well first of all the convoy was about federally regulated copen 19 that's what it was about
00:34:04.360
at the end of the day i think there's one person who we can talk about in terms of years it's just
00:34:08.440
and true we've been hiding for seven years who have been refusing to answer a single question
00:34:13.000
for seven years yeah so yeah i think right now would be the right time for a break after we
00:34:17.400
either been talking for three years let's go back well we'll see you guys in three years after this
00:34:22.600
this short break freedom in 2022 is your right to disagree with me anytime on anything in your heart
00:34:33.320
online or in the public square freedom in 2022 is also your right to live your life however you see
00:34:38.760
fit without hurting me or for that matter being bothered by me but freedom in 2022 is in very real
00:34:44.680
danger under constant attack by justin trudeau through his censorship bills his attacks on gun
00:34:49.720
rights his attacks on farmers and his attacks on peaceful protesters these people have even tried to
00:34:55.080
denormalize our flag at rebel news we're not afraid to have dangerous discussions that justin
00:35:00.280
trudeau the media and big tech censors say we're not allowed to have and we want to have them with
00:35:05.560
you at our upcoming rebel live events first in toronto november 19th and again in calgary saturday
00:35:12.360
november 26th i'll be there with dozens of other rebels and rebel adjacent free thinkers and i hope that
00:35:18.600
you'll join us just go to rebelnewslive.com to get your tickets today but do not sleep on this
00:35:24.280
because these tickets are going fast see you soon
00:35:40.280
all right second testimony of the day so there was a little bit of drama before that second testimony
00:35:44.760
because you saw the ops the auto coalition the oppo objecting to having some of the evidence shows some
00:35:51.400
of the videos uh shown even the the panel appearing i understand uh what did you make of the testimony
00:35:57.720
of chris chris deering and maggie maggie about hope hope yeah um
00:36:08.200
chris chris deering has become a friend of mine since the convoy so you know i've heard the story um about
00:36:14.600
not only his his experience in afghanistan when um you know three of his his uh team got killed in that
00:36:24.440
lav three um because they hit an ied in his lav three went 100 feet in the air killed three of them
00:36:31.320
instantly flipped over the turret fell out of the vehicle chris fell out of the vehicle and it's a
00:36:36.600
miracle it didn't fall on top of chris but he had fractured his pelvis uh bones in his face his legs
00:36:43.400
everything like he's severely and he's got a traumatic brain injury and uh you know there's
00:36:49.960
there's that aspect to it but when and i've heard the story directly from chris before about the arrest
00:36:56.040
and and what they've done and i've seen the video but i felt today that listening to that uh that
00:37:03.560
testimony when he was up there on the stand i i really personally struggled with it it took me
00:37:08.280
everything i had not to walk out of the room yeah um and i know maggie's story as well and it's it's
00:37:15.800
both uh disturbing but i what i found really really offensive was um the ops how hard how how vigorously
00:37:27.320
they tried to block the the victim testimony that we had uh versus um the the two individuals on the
00:37:36.680
first day of the testimony that the ottawa citizens right so they want to they want to put uh their
00:37:44.280
witnesses out there but they really tried hard to block our witnesses because they knew that it was
00:37:50.440
going to be very damning for them and so they that lawyer tried very very hard and i knew it was going
00:37:57.640
to roll our way when the commission lawyers actually supported our motion to have it done that's when i knew
00:38:04.440
that the judge was gonna was gonna allow it to go forward because their job is to find the truth
00:38:11.720
and and chris and maggie were a very important eyewitness testimony to the truth of what happened
00:38:17.560
on those last two days yeah so i think the judge realized you you have to show uh the full scope
00:38:24.520
not just people that were that are claiming ptsd from phantom honking uh in microaggressions i was just
00:38:31.560
gonna say microaggressions versus people that were literally beaten uh injured veterans that were
00:38:38.120
wearing their medals beaten thrown to the ground denied pain medication for their chronic illness
00:38:44.520
dropped off out in the country and and a mother who was there protesting giving copies of the the
00:38:50.040
charter of rights and freedoms to people that put a gun to her head right this is the impact statements
00:38:56.440
that were were the city uh you know paul champ and his lawyer plus the ops really wanted to conceal
00:39:04.200
from the public they wanted to conceal that truth and it was grotesque and it's shameful and i hope that
00:39:11.560
those lawyers go home and have a good stiff drink uh and and reflect on what they tried to to hide from the
00:39:19.240
public today yeah or a really good long hard look in the mirror in the mirror yeah absolutely i was holding my breath
00:39:25.320
breath when um commissioner rouleau it was going to be his uh he was going to either go for it or it was
00:39:31.960
going to be dismissed and i i was literally on the edge of my seat in that media room because i was like
00:39:37.480
this if there is a line we're going to see right now if there is a divide and if he sways to to one side
00:39:45.400
that the lawyer uh his first name is john he's the lawyer that cross-examined me for the commission is
00:39:51.080
that right yeah i think so he's the lawyer who cross-examined me for the commission when i went up
00:39:55.560
yeah uh i am absolutely impressed with him and and all of the commission lawyers were handpicked i was
00:40:03.160
told by justice rouleau to to do the role that they're doing and i was i have been absolutely
00:40:10.600
impressed with him yeah and and i started to really pay attention to his line of questioning about a week
00:40:16.520
ago and honestly i think i might have even been critical of justice rouleau's you know i i bought
00:40:23.720
into the rumors he was a liberal and i i might have even tweeted about it and i regret that i regret that
00:40:28.920
because i've seen nothing but professionalism from justice rouleau and that team of commission lawyers
00:40:34.840
they are solely focused on the truth and that is what they're pursuing and i i i bought into
00:40:44.280
what they're doing and i'm very very impressed i'm very proud of what they're doing and they're
00:40:47.960
not even my lawyers but i'm very proud of the work that they are doing yeah to pursue the truth
00:40:52.680
because as far as i'm concerned they are the canadian public's lawyer right now no and they're doing a
00:40:58.360
great job yeah i fully agree i've seen nothing but professionalism from justice justice rule and
00:41:03.400
well judge rule commissioner rule yeah and you know professionalism doesn't mean that you're
00:41:08.280
fully non-partisan professional professionalism doesn't mean that you have no political bias
00:41:12.760
professionalism means that you're able to put your bias aside and actually do the job that you're
00:41:18.040
there to do that's what professionalism is is and i understand the people that have doubt because
00:41:23.240
it's true in the past years we've seen liberals people that tend to be more on the liberal party
00:41:28.760
side show no professionalism so i guess that's why that's why people were expecting justice rule to be
00:41:34.840
the exact same way but i don't think that's what he's shown us since the beginning of the commission
00:41:39.560
and since we're talking about chris deering's testimony let's let's take a look at some of what
00:41:44.840
he had to say today i succumb and i gave myself to the police and as the police took me down
00:41:53.720
again he knew he kneed me in my side kicked me in my back i was laying down i was in the fetal position
00:42:01.960
on my back he kicked me in my ankle on my foot as i was laying down i had my hands completely up i'm
00:42:08.920
saying i'm very peaceful i'm peaceful i'm not resisting i was then punched four or five times
00:42:13.800
in my head i had a knee on my back to keep myself down i was on the ground for one and a half to two
00:42:20.600
minutes my hands were zip tied the officers slowly picked me up and then we slowly proceeded to the
00:42:28.760
processing line we get to the processing line the day was minus 20. i had no gloves on
00:42:41.000
at the beginning of the processing line we were standing there and i had asked so and sorry
00:42:46.920
the duration of the processing line was one and a half to two hours so i was standing there in the
00:42:51.800
cold for two hours i asked the policeman who was on both sides of me i said do you mind you know my
00:42:57.400
conditions is it okay if i sit or kneel because i'm in chronic pain it was obvious my face was flush
00:43:02.920
and i cried multiple times and i don't cry ever i was it was the worst pain i had felt since i've been
00:43:09.320
blown up the fact that i couldn't sit or stand was to me cruel and unusual punishment we would go 15 20
00:43:18.120
minutes without even moving i also asked if i could have my medication in which i had my prescription
00:43:23.960
and my medication on my person so that if i needed it i could ask i asked and i was denied my comfort
00:43:35.240
this this is testimony of a man who is willing to die for for our country this is a testimony of a man
00:43:40.120
who is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good of the people of canada and this is how those
00:43:46.440
veterans are treated in justin trudeau's canada you know i remember before justin trudeau became prime
00:43:52.280
minister maybe after he was elected before his second election he had a campaign event where he
00:43:58.280
went in a gym and there was a guy who stood up and said why aren't you doing more for the veterans
00:44:04.680
and he said well that's not our fault that's not our fault they're asking for too much it's the
00:44:09.000
conservative it's the conservative party it's stephen harper that did sort of veterans what we're seeing
00:44:16.280
yeah happen to them and this is how he treats veterans nowadays and that's quite a famous uh
00:44:22.360
clip and that really i have to admit uh that is an incredibly um frustrating to the veterans and the
00:44:30.680
military community that clip and and um you know when you say to a veteran that a veteran is asking
00:44:39.320
asking asking more than we're willing to give when and we talked about this the other night we talked
00:44:45.240
about unlimited liability so from a soldier i'm gonna i'm actually going to sign a contract that
00:44:53.080
is called unlimited liability it means i am willing if justified and it's a legal order to risk my life
00:45:00.920
and possibly give my life legally if ordered to my certain death and when justin trudeau said you now
00:45:12.760
are asking more than i'm willing to give and we're talking about a soldier's life versus dollars and help
00:45:22.040
and and you know we we see what's happening to chris and chris wasn't the only veteran by the way
00:45:28.360
jeff uh everly was also one of the veterans from afghanistan did two tours uh was also beaten and
00:45:35.480
arrested by police there were several and and if you hear chris's testimony they all linked arms
00:45:41.000
just to make a human chain and they were talking to the police and all those veterans were taken to
00:45:45.880
the ground and uh and arrested and and physically harmed well i think their veterans are not terrorists
00:45:51.720
and i believe that we have to clip up the the veteran even though it's not directly related to what
00:45:55.880
uh to to emergency that inquiry i'd like to take a look at that clip from justin trudeau being
00:46:01.400
questioned yeah by this this man about why and pay attention to the medals if you see a star on on
00:46:07.640
the medals that's a campaign star it's a combat veteran yeah let's take a look at that clip for a
00:46:11.720
second nobody forced me to join the military i was prepared to be killed in action what i wasn't
00:46:19.800
prepared for mr prime minister is canada turning its back on me so which veteran was it that you were
00:46:32.200
talking about thank you sir thank you for your uh passion and your strength and being here today to
00:46:40.680
share this uh justifiable frustration and anger with me and with all of us here thank you for having the
00:46:48.360
courage to stand here and thank you for listening to my answer on a couple of elements you brought up
00:46:55.240
first of all uh why are we still uh fighting against certain uh veterans groups in course because uh
00:47:03.320
they are asking for more than we are able to give right now um they are asking for more than we well no
00:47:09.960
hang on oh you're asking you're asking for honest answers the old veterans charter involved lump sum
00:47:22.840
payments and very little in the way of services we have significantly invested in services rehabilitation
00:47:30.360
support uh investments in training and support for caregivers and families that have gone a long way
00:47:37.720
towards improving the quality of life and outcomes for veterans and we cannot return to the amount of
00:47:45.640
money that was given before without accounting for the money invested in services for veterans and what
00:47:54.520
i know from veterans i've spoken to is nobody wants after having served their country with valor and honor
00:48:00.600
and sacrifice to have their government say here's your check now don't bother us anymore we need to
00:48:07.000
support you through the course of your life with the things that you need with the things that your
00:48:10.920
family needs for it and that is at the heart of uh the new veterans approach that we have that you
00:48:17.560
will see more details on in the budget coming forward so i i i get that now you also brought up
00:48:25.000
no absolutely not because in justin trudeau's canada instead of providing housing and food and shelter and
00:48:30.680
supplies he would rather them have the ability uh to um be provided assisted suicide and that's what
00:48:38.840
we're seeing right now in canada well instead of thanking the the the veteran for listening to his
00:48:44.040
response why isn't he taking him for his service no that's the same man who says we don't we're not
00:48:48.360
able to provide you with what you need to live but i'm gonna go get a six thousand dollars a night hotel
00:48:54.440
in england i'm gonna get i'm gonna get a 12 12 000 dollar grocery bill yeah i'm going to spend so
00:49:01.480
much money on myself and my family yes all on your back all in the back of the taxpayer well and also
00:49:07.080
he's not gonna bat an eye to take his private jet to a you know a world climate summit like what is going
00:49:13.880
on here he literally shows shush the crowd when then when they out that outcry it gets to me so much he
00:49:21.400
opens his mouth and i am that's my microaggression right there is justin trudeau yeah i you know
00:49:27.480
i don't want to get too deep into the whole ukraine thing but from my perspective let's not give
00:49:37.400
all of our tax dollars to the ukraine if that's really what he's thinking about his own veterans
00:49:43.880
um look i get there's a war going on there i i understand that but did the anchorman
00:49:51.400
tell everyone to get outraged at facebook tell everyone to get outraged about sierra leone south
00:49:57.240
sudan taiwan the congo uh chad yemen jordan did the anchorman tell everybody to to focus in on those
00:50:08.440
do we have facebook flags that we can all put on our profiles but no we're sending all of our money to
00:50:14.680
christia freeland's family in the ukraine yeah and you know he's got the nerve to sit there and
00:50:21.800
talk about veterans and support and and if the budget allows it now i understand this is this is
00:50:27.960
predating the the war in ukraine but let's put our priorities in order okay ukraine is not a member of
00:50:35.160
nato we don't actually have a legal obligation to be involved in that particular war
00:50:41.640
mm-hmm but that's the one that they've chosen and that's the one that the media has chosen to be
00:50:46.440
involved in and you know we have far too many financial problems in our own country right now
00:50:53.640
to be interfering in that kind of a thing and and i've i've deliberately stayed away from the vast
00:50:59.000
majority of the issues around that war because like i said we're not paying attention to the other
00:51:03.800
the other wars that are going around around in the rest of the world um but it seems to me that our
00:51:10.520
economy is in in deep trouble uh because apparently budgets do you know they balance themselves well
00:51:17.400
that's the whole that's the whole philosophy we only have about 10 or 15 minutes left
00:51:23.240
uh we have been talking for a little while um but you know another interesting thing from chris
00:51:30.040
chris's testimony chris deering is the reason it's when he spoke about the reason why he joined the
00:51:34.440
convo you know he spoke about his brothers in nova scotia his birth figuratively his birth from
00:51:40.440
the army that he wasn't able to to go grieve with and to to visit because of justin trudeau's
00:51:46.600
vaccine the mandates clip number four if you can take a look at that it's where chris explains his
00:51:53.800
reason as a veteran for joining the freedom convo let's take a look at that and so when you travel to
00:51:59.720
ottawa what did you understand that you were there to protest the mandates i was there to protest the
00:52:05.880
mandates and why was that important to you because for the last two years uh personally as a wounded
00:52:13.960
veteran i couldn't do anything i couldn't take my family to a restaurant i couldn't take my kids to
00:52:20.680
gymnastics i couldn't grieve my comrades in nova scotia because i wasn't allowed to cross the border
00:52:27.960
in my own vehicle by myself to a cemetery where no one was living and lay my flowers
00:52:35.480
for my mental health and i was denied that for two years
00:52:41.960
so that's unfortunate there's uh tom quiggan is a brilliant man and he's a friend of ours he's a
00:52:47.640
member of veterans for freedom and he did a video um he wrote the script to a video supporting the dutch
00:52:54.040
farmers and the dutch veterans and in it there's a line where he says you know the veterans can no
00:53:00.760
longer be the tip of the sword but they can be the shield and that's all i could think about when i was
00:53:07.400
listening to chris's testimony today because he came to ottawa to be the shield for the canadian public
00:53:13.400
that was what his heart and his training in his his morals and values told him to do to get here to
00:53:20.120
ottawa and be the shield yeah with a broken body yeah this is the the testament of the character
00:53:26.600
that justin trudeau who is characterless unless we're talking about a cartoon uh or a sock puppet
00:53:32.840
or whatever you want to call it i told you i'm trying to get the humor back i'm i'm looking for
00:53:38.600
puppet yeah i think i'll stick with that yeah um this is this is the character between one man versus the
00:53:44.760
other but unfortunately the wrong one has the the authority to uh to use force to attack his own
00:53:50.440
people travel the civil liberties yeah and and i i'm every day i'm saddened by the fact that
00:53:58.040
the vast majority of canadians have been been asleep for this long it's incredible to me how people
00:54:05.240
still to this day i was getting people attacking me on twitter today for chris's testimony wow this is
00:54:11.800
this is what we've we've uh this is the leadership that has been provided by justin trudeau this is
00:54:17.080
why he is absolutely unfit to be the leader of anything no i i i fully agree right another
00:54:25.320
interesting testimony so we'll get to uh testimony of maggie and then we'll go to daddy beaufort uh
00:54:31.160
shortly uh maggie and by the way for our viewers that have been following us since the beginning since we
00:54:36.440
started doing these live streams one of the things that chris keith wilson told us in our first life
00:54:41.800
i believe our second one he told us a story of a grandmother who was standing in front of the line
00:54:47.000
of uh a police who put a charter the the charter of rights and freedoms in front of the protesters
00:54:53.560
who was grabbed by the police beaten up transported far away from ottawa and dropped there and i believe
00:55:00.760
from what i've heard today from maggie's testimony maggie is the person keith was talking about um that's
00:55:07.880
that's clip number six we can see maggie described the exact same situation i think she can probably
00:55:12.920
confirm it but she describes the exact same situation that keith wilson the lawyer for the
00:55:17.720
firm convoy described on one of our first live stream let's take a look at her testimony as well
00:55:22.200
which is absolutely heartbreaking just like chris deering's one i'll be very brief so when um after
00:55:29.960
i was behind the police line it's all in my statement that's there but i i was thrown to the ground and
00:55:40.520
um there was a lot of weaponry around and uh i looked up and there was there was a gun pointed it
00:55:48.280
appeared to be at my head um and from there i was taken outside the city and dropped off and um again
00:55:57.720
i was at a towing place where they were towing the trucks and um there was no shelter there was no place
00:56:05.160
to plug in your phone there was nothing and um thankfully people came and got us so
00:56:12.840
do you want to start or should i go how'd you feel listening um it's heartbreaking also because i
00:56:24.840
can't imagine actually testifying and being able to talk about having the barrel of a gun um at my head
00:56:33.560
so calmly so the fact that she i just think there's probably such a sense of disassociation to such traumatic
00:56:41.000
things like that that you could see it like that's why i had such a hard time watching them be ripped
00:56:46.360
apart by those lawyers because the enormity of the situations that those peaceful protesters were facing
00:56:53.640
talking about them or just seeing a couple of clips in my opinion does not do it justice so
00:56:59.640
it breaks my heart did you did you hear more of those testimonies that were similar to what maggie
00:57:03.960
you were talking about did you hear more of those stories i did in in you know as after the convoy and
00:57:11.400
i was campaigning with the ontario party uh every time i went to events i would meet people that
00:57:16.760
participated in the convoy and you heard stories like that all the time and it was you know it was
00:57:21.960
hard to do that campaign because i heard all of the stories uh we all did during the campaign right
00:57:30.200
and uh you know i'll go off on a little bit of a tangent today but that that particular lawyer that
00:57:36.280
was that tried to uh discredit both chris and maggie today from the ops i was so disgusted uh
00:57:43.080
listening to his testimony so you know it's funny because chris had given that speech uh during rolling
00:57:49.880
thunder and it was publicly televised i listened to it on the radio i couldn't actually be here for
00:57:54.760
rolling thunder but he went on the lawyer went on to suggest that uh maggie and uh chris were
00:58:01.960
were being paid by the ontario party to give that testimony because the ontario party without chris or
00:58:10.120
maggie knowing about it did some fundraising to try to cover their costs for their hotels and fuel
00:58:16.440
and parking and stuff like that chris and maggie had no knowledge of that but somehow the lawyer
00:58:21.720
you know was questioning chris's authenticity in his motives for testifying but he could have looked
00:58:29.480
it up online and i've learned that the lawyers have seen everything there is to see about us
00:58:33.960
oh of course uh of course knew about chris probably given the speech rolling thunder but try to discredit
00:58:39.880
him in in tarnish his character by suggesting that he was here for money and same with maggie uh because
00:58:47.800
the ontario party quietly inside their internal email list tried to raise some funds to pay for
00:58:55.400
their cost to be here because as you heard chris's bank accounts and his credit system or credit have
00:59:01.000
all been affected and he couldn't pay for parking the other day i don't know if you heard that on the
00:59:05.560
testimony but i was speaking to chris he actually couldn't pay for parking because his credit card had
00:59:11.080
been dropped down to just over a thousand dollars and it you know all of his credit has been affected
00:59:17.240
i don't know about maggie i know mine took a hit i know everybody that was on the list
00:59:21.320
this list of 56 people were marked for life uh in the banking system credit scores diminished i know
00:59:28.280
mine dropped significantly um and none of us have been charged yet and this is this is what frustrates me
00:59:37.000
because this is the kind of canada that anybody who supports justin trudeau this is what they're begging
00:59:42.920
for it yeah they're begging for their abuser to continuously abuse them because they refuse to
00:59:49.160
acknowledge that six million plus canadians sent us to ottawa to deliver a message that they themselves
00:59:57.160
don't want to hear and once again that's how justin trudeau treats his veterans and justin trudeau's
01:00:01.720
canada freeze their bank accounts yeah you heard the credit score no due process it's absolutely
01:00:06.920
unbelievable all right i see that we're getting a little bit over time we'll take a look at
01:00:10.440
at danny bolford one of danny bolford's uh part of his testimony then we'll read some of your chats
01:00:15.880
so if you have something that you want to tell us if you have a message that you want us to to discuss
01:00:20.280
on air today you can always do so once again at rumble or odyssey and then we'll do our best to
01:00:25.960
take a look at it live on air all right let's take a look at part of danny's testimony today
01:00:32.600
so in the initial i would say close to initial two weeks i thought that chief slowly was
01:00:40.200
pretty fair in his uh remarks regarding the convoy you know understanding his position as the chief
01:00:48.120
of police of the city of ottawa but i thought that he was pretty unbiased and then after the
01:00:56.040
i think it was a council meeting or a police services board meeting there was a lot of rhetoric
01:01:03.320
regarding the freedom convoy protesters allegations of being extremists insurrectionists i believe even
01:01:12.680
the term uh domestic terrorism may have been thrown around and i noticed at that time that was
01:01:20.680
it also coincided with a lot of that same rhetoric from the legacy media and
01:01:33.000
you know and i we'd already heard and seen the prime minister using similar language
01:01:38.520
and so i felt that that was that was definitely heightening the anxiety of the overall crowd
01:01:46.600
the the fear that they were going to be labeled such and dealt with as such by law enforcement
01:01:55.880
because they were under so much pressure from the from uh the different levels of government
01:02:04.440
yeah on mainstream media i think we keep hearing several major media even even former police chief
01:02:11.240
so peter slowly spoke about how media negatively affected that's right his police officer hearing
01:02:18.440
what are your thoughts on both for says i know she stated the commission a little bit more than me so
01:02:22.600
what are your general impression your general thoughts on danny bulford's testimony um he was super
01:02:28.680
precise he said just enough he didn't get too far into um like his personal feelings on any of the
01:02:35.240
matters he was he kept it short but he kept it sweet and that is perfect i think that was that was one of
01:02:41.800
the best testimonies that i've seen thus far not that i have too much of a rating scale they all they're
01:02:46.520
all very important for different reasons but particularly with danny uh i i really liked his remark again about
01:02:52.120
the mainstream media when he he said um you referred to a conversation that he had with a a young officer um
01:02:59.560
just prior to the to the arrival of the convoy in ottawa where the the young police officer admitted that
01:03:05.080
they were indeed uh not expecting the enormity of the convoy and he retorts with something along
01:03:09.960
the lines of well you shouldn't be watching the cbc for your intelligence and i just thought yeah
01:03:14.680
that's absolutely perfect because i know i myself um and other people not just documented it but
01:03:21.240
we're very eager to put online the enormity of the convoy i was in shock i was in shock even in
01:03:27.400
ottawa walking down the streets because i there's no way to measure it yes but the very fact that you
01:03:32.840
couldn't measure it should have said enough i think in a certain way bilford's testimony also
01:03:37.080
echoed uh the testimony given by chris prior to him the motives are very similar now you guys all
01:03:45.000
worked in a certain way to serve your country i know that danny bilford wasn't in the army per se
01:03:49.560
but he was a sniper with the rcmp yeah you're a veteran chris is a veteran you also work to serve
01:03:57.160
your country and then you see what what that led to well there's a couple of uh important things that
01:04:02.760
danny said in that in that little clip there and the the important word that he used was anxiety
01:04:09.800
because the and he mentions the fact that the city was conducting a psychological operation on
01:04:15.960
the truckers because there was things that they did to deliberately heighten the anxiety
01:04:21.320
amongst the truckers especially the families and they were going around uh making statements that
01:04:27.320
they were going to euthanize the dogs in the vehicles if they didn't leave and they were going
01:04:31.960
to get uh children services involved and removed the children from their families in the trucks and so
01:04:39.000
they were constantly uh targeting us with a lot of fear inducing rhetoric to to drive up the anxiety to
01:04:48.280
try to get people to leave so in a sense you know there was a deliberate conscious effort to
01:04:54.760
terrorize the the truckers psychologically induce fear is a form of terrorism yeah and this is what
01:05:01.720
they deliberately engaged in with the assistance of the media and to go back even further we heard
01:05:08.520
testimony earlier where there was uh the the government was happy that the media was going after the
01:05:16.440
convoy as it was rolling here and then we saw that the the government between somebody named alex uh
01:05:23.880
who was public safety for mendocino and somebody in the pmo's office saying we don't want to put too
01:05:30.280
much pressure on them yet because they'll drive out the crazies meaning we'll get rid of our controversial
01:05:35.800
people ourselves yeah and then they won't have anything to attack yeah they won't have any they won't
01:05:40.520
be able to form a very big negative narrative against us that's right to demonize us again in
01:05:46.360
the media and if you listen to the testimony of every single person this week every single person
01:05:53.000
mentioned the vicious attacks from the legacy media against us every single one i did uh you heard jeremy
01:06:00.680
did today everybody on our side was talking about the vicious attacks by the media and it was sponsored
01:06:07.720
by the government in fact even the police hired a consulting company a media company uh um is there
01:06:15.160
horizons no it's um oh they did hire a PR company right to do this kind of stuff and then the government
01:06:22.840
is just there they've got cbc on their paywall um so you know we i remember being in meetings talking
01:06:31.000
about using alternative media and um in social media yeah as a counter uh so this is why like
01:06:38.440
when i walked by the media the other day i said you guys have been lying for three years and it's
01:06:41.880
probably been 30 years uh based on my my terror in the space time continuum for three years you guys
01:06:48.440
have been been lying i'm not going to talk to you what's the point yeah and i gave them the shortest
01:06:52.840
sound bite i could because i knew that they would just whatever took whatever i said and chop it up
01:06:57.640
and then make it into something vicious yeah no one hundred five i don't disagree with what you're
01:07:02.280
saying at all um yeah i think it's extremely hard to have an independent unbiased media well it's
01:07:08.200
impossible to have an independent media when you're receiving subsidies or when you're being fully funded
01:07:13.880
by the true government how can you give a fair share to alternative voices like a freedom
01:07:19.080
convoy to alternative people when you're getting paid by justin trudeau it's impossible to do that's
01:07:25.240
that's why alternative media is so important all right we're already past seven it's almost seven
01:07:30.120
or ten uh seven ten sorry let's take a look at some of the chats that we have that we that we received
01:07:35.560
tonight all right the first one shona marie g 83 thank you for fighting the good fight much
01:07:44.280

well that would go back partially to my concern about a lone wolf or small cell that could potentially
01:12:20.120
try and leverage the large crowd for their own agenda but i also i also had concerns because i've
01:12:29.960
i've done overwatch at a number of protests and counter protests in ottawa and i've seen
01:12:37.240
with my own eyes how aggressive uh groups related to the antifa movement can be when they are much
01:12:47.720
larger in numbers than the group that they're counter protesting against and how aggressive they can be
01:12:53.240
overrunning the police line as well so when you were referring to instigators who were you referring to
01:13:00.280
well people who were who would deliberately try to initiate a violent interaction with a freedom convoy
01:13:15.560
protester or maybe even someone who would try to infiltrate the crowd with a racist type flag
01:13:26.760
to try and bring discredit to the freedom convoy protester
