Rebel News Podcast - Catherine McKenna says she’s considering regulating “everything” — but tells us it’s “hateful for us to report it!”

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Today I show you a couple of encounters that our reporter Kian Bextie had

00:00:04.920 in Ottawa yesterday. The first one I'll show you is with Candace Bergen of the Conservative Party,

00:00:12.700 Deputy Leader now, one of my favorite MPs. Great little chat. But the next is with Catherine

00:00:16.860 McKenna and the two women couldn't be more different. Holy moly, it was a riveting exchange.

00:00:21.900 I loved it. I'll take you through it and I'll give you my thoughts on it. But before I do,

00:00:25.900 let me invite you to become a subscriber of Rebel News Plus. That's basically the video version

00:00:31.060 of this podcast. And today it really counts because you've just got to see Catherine McKenna

00:00:36.680 and Kian Bextie going at it on tape. I mean, the podcast will be fun, but you got to see the video.

00:00:42.240 I tell you, it's an eye-catching exchange. Just go to rebelnews.com, click subscribe. It's eight

00:00:47.460 bucks a month, less than Netflix. Great deal. You can buy a whole year in advance for 80 bucks.

00:00:51.840 And it helps us keep going because that's really an important source of funds for us.

00:00:56.500 Okay. Here's today's podcast.

00:01:03.840 Tonight, Catherine McKenna says she's considering regulating everything, but says it's hateful for

00:01:19.880 us to report that. It's September 24th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:25.940 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:29.620 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:33.700 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my

00:01:38.300 bloody right to do so.

00:01:39.560 Boy, yesterday was a big day. You know, we do a daily live stream at 12 noon Eastern and the fun

00:01:49.740 part of that is you get to chat with us in real time. It's like a radio call-in show, but instead

00:01:54.820 of phoning, you type. It's pretty fun. So I did that at noon till 1 Eastern. Then I did another live

00:02:01.100 stream for a couple hours covering the Governor General's throne speech. Pretty much every liberal

00:02:05.660 idea of the past 10 years was just reheated, like leftovers being served up to take advantage of

00:02:11.480 the spending mania out there. Pharmacare, national daycare, non-starters before. Well, now that Trudeau

00:02:17.520 has learned that the word trillion comes after billion, he pretty much wants to buy everything

00:02:22.200 and spend everything. It's not his money. Lots of U.S.-focused grouped ideas too, heavy on the Black 0.97

00:02:28.660 Lives Matter themes. And though Trudeau didn't use the word defund the police, he more or less said that

00:02:34.600 the main problem in the field of criminal justice is, in fact, the Mounties. Now that's

00:02:39.680 American thinking, not Canadian thinking. Same with this Green New Deal policy. That's just 0.85

00:02:45.920 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Build back better. Trudeau said that again and again. Literally 0.58

00:02:54.600 Joe Biden's campaign slogan. So after the Governor General gave a lengthy speech aligning all of

00:03:00.380 these ideas, Trudeau tricked, I don't know, the national media saying he needed to give a very

00:03:05.220 important national speech and would all the networks please clear their schedules and give

00:03:09.120 him free airtime. And they did. They just can't stop loving that guy. And he just really repeated

00:03:14.740 a shorter version of the Governor General's speech because for her to get some airtime on TV

00:03:19.540 for the throne speech. Well, why doesn't he get to make the throne speech? Isn't he like a prince on a

00:03:26.440 throne? So weird, so un-Canadian to trump the Queen's representative, but perfectly Trudeau lying to

00:03:33.160 the media to get them to do favors for him. What a laugh. Anyways, I did a few more hours on TV with

00:03:39.680 Sheila Gunn-Reed covering that. While I was basically glued to my desk here at our world headquarters, we had

00:03:45.020 reporters zooming around the country. We're firing back up again. So Kian Bexty went to Ottawa. He met

00:03:52.120 up with various MPs just on the street, catching them before they went into buildings. I'm glad he

00:03:56.720 had a good chat with Candace Bergen, the deputy leader of the Conservative Party. She's great.

00:04:01.060 She's always been one of my favorites. Here's a quick clip of that. I wasn't able to see what your

00:04:05.660 press conference just was. Would you be able to recap it briefly for me? Sure. There are, I would say,

00:04:10.720 three main areas that we're looking at the government to address in the speech from the throne.

00:04:15.780 Firstly, direct health benefits to Canadians in terms of getting rapid testing available so that

00:04:23.080 people aren't waiting in line for hours and days to try to get tested. Secondly, we believe the

00:04:29.720 country is more divided than ever, a direct result of this Prime Minister's action. So we'd like to see

00:04:35.780 wording and action that unifies the country and that shows Western Canada that Liberals value them

00:04:42.660 and value the resources that they develop and that we develop, including agriculture, which is a huge

00:04:49.640 part of my riding. And then some fiscal responsibility. This government has done a terrible

00:04:54.600 job of managing the finances of the country when times were good, and we don't have much confidence

00:04:59.840 in them in managing things when they're not good. I always like what she has to say, but the fact

00:05:05.180 that she's not running away from Rebel News is a healthy development. You see, under the last

00:05:10.000 conservative leader, I forget his name, you know, the dairy cartel guy, the guy with the dimples,

00:05:14.660 what's his name? He banned any member of his caucus from even talking with us. Blandrew, that's right,

00:05:20.800 Blandrew Scheer, the man who managed to seize defeat from the jaws of victory. The guy who couldn't

00:05:26.220 stop Trudeau, despite the blackface fiasco, despite SNC-Lavalin, despite the groping, despite the

00:05:32.920 China fiasco, and the India fiasco, and a dozen more fiascos. Anyways, that guy had banned all of

00:05:38.680 his MPs and senators from even talking with us, which I think really hurt the party. Because we're

00:05:44.100 the largest independent media company in Canada, we have just under 1.4 million YouTube subscribers,

00:05:50.080 many of whom are conservative members and activists. I'd actually, I'd call them grassroots,

00:05:54.160 but I'd actually call them grass tops. They're the ones who make the $100 donations and put up the

00:05:59.500 lawn signs. Andrew Scheer thought he was being mean to me, or to Kian Bextie, or to David Menzies,

00:06:06.940 who he had arrested. Whatever the deep strategy was when they literally had the police pull over

00:06:11.660 David Menzies. But really, Scheer was just cutting off his connection with the conservative base.

00:06:18.040 And even worse, he was proving that he had no judgment, that he had no courage, that he would be part

00:06:23.400 of the cancel culture, that he would basically do anything the mean girls of the CBC told him to do.

00:06:29.700 You know, the whole time I had some pretty long-standing friends still working in the

00:06:33.820 conservative party, even in Scheer's own office. And I would ask them, what's the thinking behind

00:06:38.680 cutting off Rebel News? Pretty much the only media really prepared to give them a fair shake.

00:06:44.440 And I was told, and I completely believe this was their thinking, that Andrew Scheer thought if any

00:06:48.840 conservative party MP spoke to Rebel News, the CBC would jump on them about it. And it would be a

00:06:55.360 story for a week. And they just wanted to avoid being beat up like that. I'm serious, that's what

00:06:59.640 I was told by a pretty senior guy in the campaign. I won't tell you his name, but you probably know

00:07:03.840 who I mean. I said, Andrew Scheer actually thought that if he caved in and did what the CBC told him

00:07:08.580 to do, did what the CBC bullies told him to do, and by that I mean the lovely Rosemary Barton,

00:07:13.340 Trudeau's platonic girlfriend, and Katie Simpson, and the other mean girls, that if Scheer did what 1.00

00:07:18.700 those bullies said, they wouldn't steal his lunch money. They wouldn't attack him. I think he thought

00:07:24.680 maybe they would like him or support him. And right in the middle of the campaign, Rosemary Barton

00:07:29.420 actually found a lawsuit against Andrew Scheer, and so did the CBC. But he kept thinking, well, they like me.

00:07:36.140 They really like me. And I think they're really going to be fair to me. And at the last moment, I think

00:07:40.360 they're going to champion him. So even after they sued him, he still went back on their shows. He

00:07:45.580 still did interviews with them while he still blackballed us. What a dummy. Anyway, Scheer is

00:07:50.680 gone. He's a footnote in history. Fundraisers for the party, they're relieved. They don't have to pay

00:07:56.180 for his kids' private school tuition anymore, which they actually did. Scheer insisted on the high

00:08:03.320 life. Like I say, he's a bit of a phony. He's really a privileged Ottawa boy. Not the old trucks,

00:08:08.680 Prairie boy he pretended to be. He's a hustler, really. And he managed to live large for a few

00:08:13.180 years. Anyway, he's gone and forgotten. And so is his weird self-defeating ban on having

00:08:20.700 conservative MPs, you know, talk to conservative media. I don't think it really damaged us.

00:08:25.700 We've been quietly growing month after month, year after year. But it damaged the conservative

00:08:29.720 party because it made them look cowardly in general and submissive to the CBC in particular.

00:08:36.860 Not a good look for conservatives to be part of cancel culture. Not a good look. So this

00:08:41.840 morning, in our staff meeting, I told Keane and the rest of our staff that I'm happy to

00:08:47.600 help the conservative party's MPs and senators rehabilitate their damaged reputation, damaged

00:08:55.600 from participating in the weird CBC-driven boycott of Rebel News. All the timid little MPs

00:09:01.540 who wouldn't stand up to Rosemary Barton and couldn't stand up to Andrew Scheer, they're

00:09:05.780 welcome to reintroduce themselves to 1.4 million conservative viewers again. You're welcome,

00:09:11.620 guys. You're welcome to it. So now that the conservatives are slowly emerging from the

00:09:15.680 cave in which Andrew Scheer told them to hide, let's move on to the liberals. They're welcome

00:09:20.220 to talk to our viewers, too. That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about today. Not all liberals

00:09:26.160 are afraid of Keane, like Andrew Scheer was. To my surprise, the liberal mayor of Calgary,

00:09:31.800 Naheed Nanshi, took one of Keane's questions the other day and actually gave not a bad answer

00:09:38.400 to it. Look at this.

00:09:39.280 Do you think that the ongoing sister cityhood relationship between Calgary and Daqing China

00:09:43.860 is a tacit endorsement of the ongoing genocide in China?

00:09:48.200 You know, that's a great question and thank you for raising it. I've been very concerned

00:09:51.940 about what is going on with the Uyghurs. I've been very concerned about overall issues around 1.00

00:09:59.860 Canadian-Chinese relations. I'm very concerned about the Michaels. And in fact, I refused to 1.00

00:10:05.560 participate in Chinese National Day celebrations this year because of these ongoing situations.

00:10:11.300 All of that said, the sister city relationship has been going on, I don't even know how long,

00:10:16.280 decades and decades and decades. To be honest, it's pretty stale. I mean, we don't have any

00:10:20.780 relationship with our sister city. I've never been there. They've never been here. We've never met,

00:10:26.540 unlike some of our other sister cities. It's probably something worth looking at. But on the

00:10:31.520 concept of actually affecting change and saving people's lives and improving human rights,

00:10:38.120 Calgary's sister city relationship is not the most important thing here. But I would like to see

00:10:43.660 stronger statements from our federal government in particular on these issues. I think that the

00:10:48.900 ongoing situation with the Uyghurs is probably the most underreported story in the world. And it's

00:10:54.860 important when people should be paying more attention to.

00:10:56.900 Would you call it a genocide?

00:10:57.900 I don't know what the technical definition of that term is, but I will tell you that last year

00:11:03.880 I had the chance to meet a Uyghur woman who escaped, who told me harrowing stories about what 1.00

00:11:11.100 she had escaped from, had not heard from her family since she escaped because they were targeted on her

00:11:16.460 escape, and assumes they're dead. Whether that means the legal conditions of a genocide or not,

00:11:21.740 it is something that has to be condemned.

00:11:23.080 Good for Nahid Nenshi. Those are words I never thought I'd say. I think he was speaking the truth

00:11:28.340 there, by the way. I think that was his real answer. I guess a stopped glock is right twice a day.

00:11:32.900 But back to Kian in Ottawa. So let me show you this first. Here's a tweet by Catherine McKenna.

00:11:39.380 She says, I think there's a lot that we can do, but the social media companies themselves need to step up.

00:11:49.700 We don't have to regulate everything, but if you can't regulate yourselves, governments will.

00:11:56.680 And then there's a link to a bizarre story by Martin Patrican, who says, I'll just read what he said,

00:12:01.080 the Quebec government has a 12-person war room that ferrets out hate, misinformation, and threats

00:12:06.180 against Premier Francois Legault, published on Facebook and elsewhere. Twelve government agents

00:12:11.180 who do nothing but complain about what citizens say about the Premier. Hate. Are you not allowed to

00:12:18.480 hate politicians anymore? I mean, I don't recommend hate as an emotion, but it is a natural emotion,

00:12:24.620 just like jealousy or greed or lust. I mean, go through your list of seven sins. It's natural.

00:12:33.160 We shouldn't wallow in our negative feelings. We should control ourselves, improve ourselves, but

00:12:38.320 just feeling a feeling is no crime. Hate, I think that's just code for what the Premier's staff don't

00:12:45.740 like. They don't like being criticized, so they call it hate. They hate being criticized. Misinformation,

00:12:52.740 that's just another way of saying a different opinion. Someone who contradicts the Premier.

00:12:57.420 Imagine 12 government bureaucrats holding themselves up as the arbiters of truth. Now,

00:13:03.320 threats, threats I get, if they mean threats of violence, but don't we already have trained

00:13:08.040 police and prosecutors who handle the tough stuff like that? Why would political staff be working

00:13:14.640 the crime beat? I was appalled and surprised when I saw that story and the fact that they directly

00:13:20.080 demand to Facebook to delete what the Premier wants deleted. That's a shocking story. But McKenna

00:13:25.760 retweeted it with approval in French and English, no less. So it wasn't a quick comment off the cuff.

00:13:31.880 It was something she had professionally translated. Let me read it to you again now that I've given you

00:13:36.360 a bit more background. I think there's a lot that we can do, but social media companies themselves need

00:13:42.240 to step up. We don't have to regulate everything, but if you can't regulate yourselves, governments will.

00:13:50.320 Now, everyone knows to ignore all the words in the sentence before the word, but. That dress looks nice,

00:13:56.360 but. Sure, your hairdo's pretty, but. We don't have to regulate everything, but. And the part to pay

00:14:04.880 attention to is after the but. But if you can't regulate yourselves, governments will. So she said

00:14:12.520 that in English and French, regulate everything if companies don't. And a link to a crazy, crazy,

00:14:20.000 creepy stalker story of stalker bureaucrats stalking citizens for daring to criticize the Premier.

00:14:26.480 Stalker stalker stalker stalker. It's so creepy. Voyeurism, sneaky spying. Well, can't happen to bump into

00:14:34.200 Captain McKenna yesterday. And look at this. Hi, Minister. How are you this morning?

00:14:38.880 Could you tell me what you meant when you said yesterday that your government might regulate everything?

00:14:44.120 I certainly never said that. So you said it. You actually said it as a threat.

00:14:47.760 Unfortunately, Rebel News always distorts what I say. No, it was quite clear. You said it in a tweet as a threat to

00:14:53.160 companies, digital companies that don't regulate themselves. You said the government

00:14:56.320 could regulate everything. You know what I want to say to you? That you guys are contributing to hate

00:15:00.640 against me because you spread misinformation and disinformation. I will continue to call out

00:15:05.600 your misinformation and disinformation every single day. Okay. What was the misinformation?

00:15:09.760 Please tell me. I'd be interested to hear. The misinformation and disinformation is what you

00:15:13.800 just said right now. You threatened yesterday to regulate. You said on Twitter. You know what I don't like

00:15:20.320 is that you're contributing to all the hate I'm receiving. I did an online, I did an event with women

00:15:30.080 politicians. The amount of hate that women politicians is getting from outlets like you 1.00

00:15:35.680 is completely unacceptable. About half of our journalists are women. Why are you targeting us

00:15:40.400 specifically over that? It's your comments that we're asking you about.

00:15:46.240 First of all, what a cry bully. She calls everyone in the world names. She calls her enemies deniers. 1.00

00:15:54.240 Tapping into the language of Holocaust denial. She says she's not the minister for all Canadians,

00:15:59.680 by the way. She has no time for critics. She won't even talk to them. She hates them to borrow a phrase. 1.00

00:16:07.840 I mean, if you're going to use an emotional word, she's a bit of a hater. Her house husband,

00:16:13.280 Scott Gilmore, who writes for Maclean, she's even more foul-mouthed. He calls critics of his wife

00:16:19.600 pigs. He hates people too. So they can dish it out, this power couple, but they sure can't take it.

00:16:25.680 It's a lame cop-out. It's weak to respond to a genuine question and a genuine criticism by saying,

00:16:32.080 you're lying about me, or by saying, you're causing people to hate me. We've shown you the tweet.

00:16:38.240 Kian got it right. She mused about regulating everything, and to be more specific, 0.99

00:16:43.280 regulating the internet. She put it in writing in English and French. It was no spur-of-the-moment

00:16:48.240 thing. It was later in the throne speech, actually. Kian was correct, saying he's a liar. Well,

00:16:54.400 actually, I think she's lying. And the second point, Kian, you and Rebel News are making people hate me.

00:17:00.480 Yeah, no. Sorry, but people hate all politicians, boys and girls, left-wing and right-wing. People

00:17:09.600 hated Stephen Harper. It was rampant, because some people are left-wing and some people are right-wing.

00:17:15.440 And you know, over time, the public tires of every politician. Did you know that the great Winston

00:17:22.720 Churchill himself tired out the British people? And they threw him out of office two months after

00:17:30.320 Germany surrendered in World War II. The war was still raging in the Pacific. In July, the war was

00:17:36.320 over in May in Europe. Two months later, in July, after he saved Britain, British voters threw him out.

00:17:43.040 Yeah, no, Kathy, we didn't make Canadians hate you. Canadians hate you because you hate them.

00:17:50.640 Your husband hates them. You tell us that all the time. You conduct yourself in an embarrassing way,

00:17:57.040 emphasizing what we hate about politicians. You live high off the hog on our dime. You spent six grand at

00:18:04.400 the Paris Global Warming Conference on a fashion shoot for yourself. You're vain. You waste money.

00:18:10.000 You've lost billions of dollars. It's not personal, actually. You're just really bad at what you do,

00:18:15.600 which is why Trudeau demoted you from Environment Minister. Plus, you lie.

00:18:22.640 Yeah, we didn't make you get drunk in a bar and brag about lying to us, Kathy. You did that to you. 0.93

00:18:29.280 I actually gave them some real advice. I said that if you actually say it louder, we've learned in the

00:18:34.400 House of Commons, if you repeat it, if you say it louder, if that is your talking point, people will

00:18:38.960 totally believe it. But what gets me about McKenna is that she has this trick. She's like a slippery

00:18:44.000 watermelon. So, you know, you press it from this side, it slips that way. Press it from this side,

00:18:48.240 it slips that way. She endlessly tweets trite saccharine tweets about women in politics and girls in 1.00

00:18:54.720 politics and girl power and women can do anything men can do, which is pretty uncontroversial. I mean,

00:19:01.440 we had a prime minister who was a woman almost 30 years ago, the UK, India, Israel, even Pakistan.

00:19:07.920 Plenty of places have broken that barrier. 50 years ago, maybe that would be edgy to say,

00:19:13.360 but now it's terribly safe and probably just a distraction from her own boss's sexual harassment

00:19:19.360 scandals. I've been reflecting very carefully on what I remember from that incident almost 20 years ago.

00:19:28.000 So, and again, I feel, I am confident that I did not act inappropriately. But part of this awakening

00:19:40.640 that we're having as a society, a long-awaited realization, is that it's not just one side of the story

00:19:52.000 that matters. That the same interactions could be experienced very differently from one person to

00:20:00.320 the next. So, Catherine McKenna talks about how women can do anything men can do, pretty vanilla opinion, 0.95

00:20:06.720 but I don't know if she actually means it because she has never spoken out against Trudeau's sexual

00:20:11.680 harassment of women. She never tells him to stop groping women. She even allowed him to grope her in 0.85

00:20:19.120 public and she doesn't say anything about it. So, I'm not actually convinced by her feminist

00:20:24.000 shtick. She cheered for Trudeau as he fired Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott from cabinet. So,

00:20:30.480 I think it's phony. But she goes from the girls can do anything to you can't criticize me because

00:20:36.400 I'm a girl. Stop. You're being mean. You're making people hate me. That's pretty much the opposite

00:20:42.400 of being a strong role model for women. Hey girls, you can do absolutely anything in life. Aim for the 1.00

00:20:48.400 top. And if you have any challenges along the way, if someone hates you, as all politicians are hated,

00:20:54.320 just cry about it. Call it gender violence. Have a sobbing press conference about it. Talk about how 0.96

00:21:01.360 hard it is to be a girl and tell critics they're Nazis. Yeah, no, you got to pick a lame lady. Either you're 1.00

00:21:07.440 ready for the cut and thrust of public life, which includes pretty tame questions from Kian.

00:21:14.000 Or, maybe you need to be in a safe space with only softball questions from the CBC. You know,

00:21:19.840 when Kian was at a joint government of Alberta, government of Canada press conference a few

00:21:24.080 weeks ago, he was there and he asked McKenna a basic question. She saw it was him and she literally

00:21:32.000 clicked off. She logged off of her computer without even saying goodbye because she's just such a weird,

00:21:40.400 cowardly, crybaby, bully, passive aggressive, can't handle any criticism kind of minister.

00:21:48.080 I mean, there are men who are cowards too. Being a coward is not a gendered thing. I'd actually hazard a 0.81

00:21:55.600 guess that most women politicians are a little bit tougher than their male counterparts. Probably a bit 1.00

00:22:00.880 harder to achieve high success as a woman in politics, all things being equal. But Catherine

00:22:06.480 McKenna is the biggest coward in parliament. And that's got nothing to do with her being a woman. 1.00

00:22:14.480 It's got everything to do with her being a Trudeau liberal who would rather censor us than answer us. 1.00

00:22:21.440 Yeah, good luck with that, lady. Stay with us for more. 1.00

00:22:38.880 Governments, more regulation, more control, more everything that's against freedom. That's what

00:22:44.400 they want. Some people even say that it's coordinated in some form or another by certain leaders.

00:22:52.400 There's no way I could possibly fight against a government that is lining up against me.

00:22:59.600 You have no freedom. You have no control of the political process. You are a mere drone.

00:23:04.400 It's more than a climate monarchy. They want to return us to an age of kings. Evil triumphs when good

00:23:13.120 men stand idly by. Don't look at the facts. Nothing to see here. Move along and follow the party line.

00:23:19.840 This isn't just bad science. This is the death of science. Don't miss this important film, Climate Hustle 2.

00:23:27.760 Climate Hustle 2. Well, you might remember that Rebel News hosted the Canadian premieres

00:23:36.400 of the first Climate Hustle a few years ago, sold out screenings in Calgary and Edmonton.

00:23:42.880 Joining us now, the boss of Climate Hustle 2, our friend Mark Morano from ClimateDepot.com.

00:23:48.800 Great to see you. And wow, was that the actor from Hercules, Kevin Sorbo?

00:23:53.360 Yes, he's the host of the film and he does a great job. He goes through and he does some great

00:24:02.320 explanations. In fact, his time in Hollywood, he dealt with a lot of this kind of intimidation

00:24:06.800 and he saw all the Hollywood hypocrisy when it comes to climate. He even met Al Gore one time.

00:24:11.280 So Kevin Sorbo is great in this. I like him. He's one of the few people in Hollywood willing to zig

00:24:18.480 where everyone else zags. That's a town that pretends they're so pure that they have the

00:24:24.880 artistic freedom to dissent. But it's actually the peer pressure there to conform. It's worse

00:24:31.280 than any high school clique. I think you can count on one hand the number of A or B listers who are

00:24:38.400 dissidents. I mean, Clint Eastwood and I'm Almost Done and Kevin Sorbo. So good for you. Dean Cain,

00:24:46.080 I'd put in there also. Mel Gibson. So tell me a little bit more about Climate Hustle 2. I enjoyed

00:24:52.000 Climate Hustle 1. That showed, well, the hustle, the shenanigans, the schemes behind the global

00:24:59.600 warming movement, global warming industry. What does Climate Hustle 2 do? What's the second part of the

00:25:06.000 story? Well, the first part, as you mentioned, we dealt mostly with the science, the agenda,

00:25:10.960 the distortions of the science. We went through the whole idea of CO2 is not the control knob of

00:25:16.080 the climate. We went through the extreme weather. We went through, you know, comparing it to the

00:25:20.000 witchcraft, medieval witchcraft, where they're blaming everything, your SUVs on every bad weather

00:25:25.440 event. And we talked a little bit about the intimidation of science. But this film is now the

00:25:30.320 why. What's behind this agenda? So we go into the Green New Deal, the UN Paris Agreement. I interviewed

00:25:36.960 Christina Figueres, former UN Climate Chief. I interview Hans Schulenhuber, the man who wants a CO2

00:25:44.000 budget for every man, woman, and child on the planet. And we go through and expose the Green New 1.00

00:25:49.760 Deal. The architects admit that it is not a climate thing that is a, quote, change the whole economy

00:25:54.960 thing, unquote. Christina Figueres of the UN seeks a centralized transformation that will make life on

00:26:01.280 planet Earth very different. So we go into the agenda and we go into the impact. I went to Czech

00:26:06.480 Republic. I interviewed Václav Klaas for this film. He spent a day with me. And he talks about growing

00:26:12.160 up under Soviet domination in Czechoslovakia, which is now the Czech Republic. And he says,

00:26:18.400 the greatest threat we face to freedom since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union 0.83

00:26:23.840 is what he calls ambitious environmentalism from the climate movement. He calls it master mining

00:26:29.520 from above, which I think is a great phrase to talk about this technocracy that COVID and

00:26:35.200 climate are ushering in together. By the way, as we open with the COVID climate connection, the idea

00:26:40.560 that all the climate leaders from John Kerry, Al Gore, the UN, Greta Thunberg are lusting and drooling

00:26:46.480 over the solutions of lockdowns. This is what they've sought. This is what they want. Essentially,

00:26:51.840 our lives are going to be ruled by nameless, faceless bureaucrats who are doing it for our safety and for

00:26:57.520 the good of the planet. And that's why they're excited about, you know, if you love the climate,

00:27:02.160 the COVID lockdowns, you're going to love the coming climate lockdowns.

00:27:05.200 Yeah, you're so right. Well, I mentioned earlier that we were proud to host you. I mean,

00:27:12.480 and you came out to Alberta where we had an event in Calgary and Edmonton. You might recall those

00:27:16.960 theaters. They were sort of alternative theaters, completely packed. In fact, I felt terrible.

00:27:21.360 We slightly oversold the Calgary event and had to turn some people away. Wonderful events.

00:27:28.080 People loved it. You answered questions in the Q&A. The name of those theaters, you wouldn't

00:27:32.960 remember it. It was four years ago. The one in Edmonton was called The Princess. The one in

00:27:37.680 Calgary was called The Plaza. I went back last year to rent those same theaters for a book launch, Mark.

00:27:45.360 And I knew the boss. I had done business with him before. He was thrilled with the events we had with

00:27:50.480 you. But he was pressured by a Twitter mob. And he actually de-platformed my book launch in both of

00:27:59.280 those events. He tore up the contract, even though we had paid for it in full in advance. I mentioned

00:28:05.520 that the de-platforming in those very theaters that we hosted you. And I reminded him of that. He said,

00:28:12.080 yes, I've never banned a show in 30 years and I'm not going to start now. But he indeed did start now.

00:28:18.800 Wow. I mentioned that because you have been canceled and de-platformed

00:28:27.600 in your movie Climate Hustle 2. Tell me the different sensors who are trying to stop people

00:28:33.120 from getting your movie. Well, first of all, Twitter has banned the Climate Hustle 2 account for no real

00:28:39.440 rational explanation. I am myself at my Climate Depot account have recently been shadow banned.

00:28:44.320 I'm getting all reports where people aren't getting my feed, aren't seeing it. And also my number of

00:28:48.880 followers, they keep doing this purge, which they've been doing to a lot of conservatives,

00:28:52.640 libertarians. They go through it. If the account, I guess they have certain things and they just purge

00:28:57.760 you of followers with no explanation. But the big thing that happened is we approached Amazon Prime

00:29:03.200 because they did our last film, which was in over 400 theaters in U.S. and Canada. And by the way,

00:29:07.360 Ezra, this movie, Climate Hustle 2, was set to be in nearly 800 theaters. We were going to double

00:29:12.800 our output until COVID locked down the theater business. But Amazon dragged their feet, finally

00:29:20.000 came back and said a content review found that the film was not appropriate for Amazon Prime,

00:29:26.240 Climate Hustle 2. And guess what? At the same time, we must have triggered,

00:29:29.920 they didn't realize it. We had had Climate Hustle 1 on Amazon Prime for years, since 2016.

00:29:35.360 After we asked for Climate Hustle 2, they pulled Climate Hustle 1 down, almost as if we reminded them,

00:29:41.200 oh, they shouldn't be having that. So now, not only is Climate Hustle 2 not on Amazon Prime,

00:29:45.440 but neither is Climate Hustle 1. They pulled it. So the world really has changed in the last just few

00:29:51.280 years. It's amazing how in lockstep the censorship is coming now from all directions.

00:29:57.840 Now, I should tell you that my own book on the pandemic called China Virus was banned by Amazon

00:30:06.400 for two months. Then it was unbanned for a week. Then it was re-banned. And then it was re-unbanned.

00:30:14.240 And they gave me the same explanation both times. They said, it contradicts official sources.

00:30:21.200 Yes. They wouldn't tell me who those official sources were. Medical sources, political sources,

00:30:26.000 the UN, China. They wouldn't ever say. And we had lawyers write to them. And they never answered.

00:30:31.360 I know I'm talking too much about me, but I'm trying to compare notes from one banned guy to another.

00:30:36.560 What was the, even if it was two words, what were the two words they told you why your stuff was banned?

00:30:41.840 It's just a content review. They wouldn't tell us. They don't give you, they didn't,

00:30:45.920 they mostly just don't respond. They basically just said, no, we can't do it. There's really

00:30:49.760 no appeal process. And then they pulled the old film. But I can answer your thing about against

00:30:55.200 official position. If you say anything on COVID or climate that contradicts with the National Academy

00:31:02.800 of Science and or the UNIPCC, by the way, the National Academy of Science is 100% funded by governments,

00:31:09.760 both state and federal. So they're paid to say that climate is an emergency. They support carbon

00:31:14.960 taxes. It's a lobbying, scientific lobbying. Science has become another branch of government.

00:31:19.280 In the case of COVID, if you, if the, if the CDC director just comes out and makes a comment,

00:31:24.400 you know, he thinks masks are more effective than a vaccine. Suddenly, if you dispute that,

00:31:28.640 you're going up against the official government line. And then if you do that,

00:31:32.480 you get warning labels and you get banned. That's not a free country. I don't know what to do.

00:31:37.360 It's very hard to keep hope because there's really, there's very little,

00:31:42.480 very little pushback from anyone in power on these matters. I mean, you know,

00:31:46.480 even Republicans running in America here aren't really fighting about lockdowns. They're just,

00:31:51.120 you know, they're wearing, you know, President Trump, to give you an example,

00:31:54.320 President Trump was booed today in Washington, screamed at, yelled people when he stood out in

00:31:59.600 front of Ruth Gater-Binsburg's casket. Well, he had a mask on. If I had been there,

00:32:04.720 I may have shouted at him too, to, you know, to get the mask off because it's part of this

00:32:10.560 movement of conformity. And if you don't do it, you get banned and attacked. So

00:32:14.960 Climate Hustle 2 goes deep into that. We go, we profile the scientists who actually,

00:32:20.080 whose careers have been ruined. We talked to Willie Soon. We talked to Tim Ball,

00:32:23.840 who faced lawsuits, who faced media attacks, who faced, you know, loss of jobs. David Legates,

00:32:29.920 who's actually the Delaware state climatologist, lost his job, who's now actually being considered

00:32:34.560 for a federal scientist position at NOAA. We'll see how that goes. The media is already going nuts.

00:32:39.040 Hmm. Well, if it's banned from Amazon Prime, there are still some other ways to get it.

00:32:44.080 What's the best way for our viewers to watch Climate Hustle 2?

00:32:48.480 Well, what we're doing is September 24th, it's airing live at 8 PM around the world at 8 o'clock.

00:32:54.160 It's at climatehustle2.com. And then immediately after that, September 25th forward, you'll be able

00:32:59.920 to watch it, order it on demand and order DVDs from climatehustle2.com. The number or the letter

00:33:06.720 or the word, climatehustle2.com. Right. Well, that, that's good. I mean,

00:33:10.800 of course, movie theaters are shut down almost everywhere, which is a shame because we would

00:33:15.440 have loved to have hosted that again. Although, who knows? I mean, the Plaza and the Princess in Alberta

00:33:21.760 have gone from the most free speechy theaters to the least free speechy theaters in Canada. We

00:33:27.760 would have to, who knows, do it at a drive-in, a drive-in. And we would have to have different

00:33:33.360 rates. If you drove a Tesla or another electric car, or if you drove a pickup truck or an SUV,

00:33:40.240 we'd have to have different rates or something. That's right. Penalize. I mean, they're the ones

00:33:45.520 causing the rare earth mining in Africa, uh, owned by Chinese companies. Exactly. I don't want those 0.97

00:33:51.440 huge, and how are you going to dispose of the battery when it's done? I don't think they've

00:33:55.200 even figured that part out. Well, listen, Mark, congratulations on the movie. We enjoyed being

00:33:59.920 part of Climate Hustle 1. I'm glad Climate Hustle 2 is coming out. It looks exciting. Kevin Sorbo is

00:34:05.040 great. Uh, I'm upset, but not surprised that you were banned by Amazon. Join the club. And I'd like to

00:34:11.520 encourage our viewers. You heard Mark. So this will be aired tonight, September 24th. Uh, our

00:34:17.680 interview will be, uh, aired at 8 PM, which is actually when your video will go live. So I'll

00:34:22.800 encourage people to go to Climate Hustle 2, the number 2.com and check it out. Um, thanks for

00:34:29.840 joining. I'm sort of excited. Good for you for not being silenced by the censors. Well, thank you,

00:34:35.120 Ezra. I appreciate it. So ClimateHustle2.com, I think your audience will particularly love it. We go

00:34:40.400 through Hollywood hypocrisy, kids indoctrination, uh, shrinking humans, that everything is in this

00:34:45.440 film. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. And we have a special, uh, content at the end,

00:34:49.280 a panel with John Stossel and others in it. Oh, wow. You didn't tell me that John Stossel. He's

00:34:54.320 one of the best. He's absolutely one of the best in the business. Well, that's great. I look forward

00:34:58.240 to watching it myself. Thanks, Mark. Thank you, Ezra. I appreciate it. All right. There you have it.

00:35:01.440 Mark Morano, the boss of ClimateDepot.com with the big news. His sequel is back and it sounds

00:35:06.800 better than even the first one. Now, sometimes the sequels are sort of an echo. This sounds like

00:35:11.520 he's really raised the stakes and upped his game. You can get that at ClimateHustle2.com. Stay with us.

00:35:18.720 Morehead.

00:35:31.280 On my show last night on the throne speech, Bruce writes,

00:35:34.480 Trudeau has no understanding of reality, especially that of the middle class. This makes me yearn all

00:35:39.220 the more for Wegzit. Yeah. I mean, Western issues have been sort of in the fridge for six months as

00:35:45.980 the pandemic has taken up all the political conversations in the land. But you can see even

00:35:51.560 in that throne speech, the only role for Trudeau and Saskatchewan in, sorry, for Alberta and Saskatchewan

00:35:57.420 and Trudeau's Canada is to lead the way to decarbonize. Yeah. No. Deb writes, the Build Back Better

00:36:06.940 slogan is just one of the many links that directly connects American radical Democrats to Justin's

00:36:11.400 radical liberal government. Oh yeah. They bring up Democrats all the time to help run their campaigns.

00:36:16.480 It would be a scandal if Harper or Scheer or O'Toole had brought up Republicans to run the campaign.

00:36:23.560 But it just shows that they're not even having made in Canada policies. I mean, a lot of it feels

00:36:29.060 really American, like the whole defund police thing. That's not a Canadian move. Chris writes,

00:36:35.480 we're going to be paying for this for a long time. Yeah. Just like Pierre Trudeau, his dad,

00:36:40.940 he gave us a debt that took a generation to pay off. You know what though? The debt is the least of

00:36:47.020 my worries. His attacks on our civil liberties, as Catherine McKenna wants to censor us, that's

00:36:52.460 actually worrying me more. Well, that's our show for today. Until next time, on behalf of all of us here

00:36:57.860 at Rebel World headquarters, to you at home, good night and keep fighting for free.

00:37:05.480 We'll see you next time.
