Rebel News Podcast - CBC and United Nations compete to spread this multi-trillion dollar global warming lie

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, remember a couple weeks ago when I took you through a BS story that the CBC and really the

00:00:05.640 rest of the mainstream media ran about 11,000 scientists claiming we're all going to die?

00:00:10.900 I really enjoyed that one and I have a sort of a sequel to that today.

00:00:15.020 I go through the UN's latest panic report, which was dumb to begin with, but then the CBC managed 0.97

00:00:21.920 to make it even dumber. And by dumb, I mean misleading. So I'll take you through that. 0.99

00:00:26.060 And, uh, I am pretty, pretty sure you will find this dissection of the facts nowhere else in the

00:00:34.560 media. Um, Hey, can I invite you to become a rebel premium subscriber? Just go to premium.rebelnews.com

00:00:51.040 here's today's podcast.

00:00:56.060 Tonight, who is the bigger liar? The CBC or the United Nations? It's November 26th and

00:01:14.060 this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:17.500 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:21.080 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have

00:01:26.340 to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's my bloody right to do so.

00:01:36.680 Hey, remember a few weeks ago when I did an expose into the CBC's global warming propaganda?

00:01:42.180 They had claimed, like so many other media did, that 11,000 scientists had signed some big study

00:01:50.820 about global warming and that the end was near. They really emphasized the 11,000 scientists part.

00:01:57.440 Here's the first minute or so of the show we dissected.

00:02:01.480 In recent months, climate emergencies have been declared by Canada and a number of other countries.

00:02:06.600 I'm sure you've heard them. Cities have also sounded the alarm. Well, this morning in a brand new

00:02:12.900 declaration, 11,000 scientists from 153 countries are bolstering that claim. Here are some of what's

00:02:22.520 in that declaration published in the journal Bioscience. The Alliance of World Scientists says

00:02:29.280 it has a moral obligation to warn humanity. It says greenhouse gas emissions are still rising

00:02:35.960 and that recent efforts to reduce them are not enough. The declaration also says the climate crisis

00:02:44.380 is accelerating faster than many scientists predicted, that it's caused even more damage

00:02:50.820 than many had feared. The Alliance says it had to speak out. Why? Because climate change is threatening

00:02:57.360 ecosystems and, get this, the fate of humanity. Scary words there. The fate of humanity.

00:03:06.200 CBC senior science reporter Nicole Martellaro is going through this report. And, Nicole, I know it's a big

00:03:11.200 one, lots of dense information, but 11,000 scientists signed on. That's got to mean something.

00:03:17.840 Did you hear, I know it's a big one, lots of dense information. It wasn't a big one. It was just a few

00:03:23.340 pages long. That whole thing turned out to be a fake. It was a hoax. It was disinformation, fake news.

00:03:30.480 I don't know if you remember the video did. Unlike the CBC, I actually Googled the report and read it.

00:03:34.600 It wasn't a study. It was an opinion column. And it was just a few pages long. And there weren't a

00:03:40.740 thousand scientists who signed it. You see this? You could just click here and you just click the

00:03:45.740 button, like, like on Facebook. That's it. Anyone, literally anyone could sign it. I went through all

00:03:51.880 the Canadian names and I showed that it was lawyers and dentists and even scammers and schemers,

00:04:00.260 authors. And my favorite guy was a wisecracking taxi driver from Hamilton, who I think is a rebel

00:04:08.460 viewer because he had one of our hats, who called himself a BS detector and analyst. This guy. And

00:04:16.060 then I came across this lad, Hans Weinhold from Mohawk College. And his expertise, as you can see,

00:04:25.880 is listed as BS detection and analysis. Now I've gone through a few hundred of these now. So I'm

00:04:35.140 thinking BS that could mean bachelor of science and detection and analysis. Sounds like something

00:04:41.400 you might say if you're a global warming scientist, but maybe it's just what it looks like. BS as in

00:04:48.280 bullshit. I was already all the way down to the W's now. So I was tired, but I Googled the guy 0.99

00:04:55.780 guy. And I found his Facebook page. That's him in the mask there, I think. Is that him there? This

00:05:05.340 is from his Facebook page. Is that him catching a fish? That's very environmental. But look at that

00:05:09.900 hat. Is that, is that a Trump hat? Does that make America great again? And what's this? Look at this

00:05:15.480 picture. Is that an Infowars shirt? And here he is in a yellow vest and he's wearing a make Canada

00:05:25.460 great again hat. I think that's one of ours here from the rebel. And look at this from his Facebook

00:05:30.620 page. I won't even read it. I'll just let you enjoy it. Yeah. So he was one of the 11,000 climate

00:05:39.720 scientists who signed the paper. Boy, a lot of people watched that video debunking the fake

00:05:45.520 news. But look, even though well over 100,000 people saw that, it was just a tiny fraction

00:05:50.100 compared to how widely the original fake news was shared. That CBC host there was called Suhana

00:05:57.960 Maharshan, typical liberal know-nothing. But the woman she was about to interview there calls

00:06:03.760 herself CBC science expert. Her name is Nicole Mortallaro. Well, she's the science expert.

00:06:10.560 You'd think that she might have done her due diligence, but that wouldn't have fit with

00:06:14.440 the official CBC narrative. So she was a propagandist too. In fact, according to her resume posted on

00:06:25.480 LinkedIn, Mortallaro isn't a scientist at all. At least no more than any of the 11,000 people

00:06:32.240 who signed that letter or me. She has, according to her resume, a BAA degree in journalism from

00:06:41.000 Ryerson. That means a Bachelor of Applied Arts. It's a vocational degree. I've got nothing against

00:06:47.680 vocational schools. I think they're actually more useful than a degree at many universities

00:06:52.720 in like vegetarian studies or something because it's more practical to go to a vocational school.

00:06:58.320 I'm just saying Mortallaro is not a scientist. But she plays one on TV. I'm surprised she doesn't 0.98

00:07:05.400 wear a fake white lab coat like Bill Nye the science guy. You know, he's science-y because he

00:07:12.060 says so in a nickname. Here's Bill Nye the science guy singing a science-y song on his science show.

00:07:20.680 Viewer discretion is advised here. So you guys, seriously, this next thing I feel is very special.

00:07:28.520 This is a cool little segment. You know this woman from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Please give it up for Rachel Bloom. 1.00

00:07:35.580 This world of arms is full of choice. But must I choose between only John or Joyce? All my options only.

00:07:52.400 Harder voice. My vagina has its own voice. Not vocal voice. A metaphorical voice. 1.00

00:08:00.160 Sometimes I do a voice for my vagina. Please don't tell me I'm the only one who does that. 1.00

00:08:04.560 Cause my sex junk is so much more than either or. Power bottom or a top off. Versatile love may have some butt stuff. 0.99

00:08:19.300 Yeah. Science. That's science, kids. Watch Bill Nye the science guy. Oh my god. Anyways, so the CBC's

00:08:32.880 non-scientist science reporter has more news for you today. Oh, I can hardly wait. She was part of the

00:08:39.620 propaganda the other day about those fake 11,000 signatures and she couldn't detect that they were

00:08:44.000 fake. So here she is today with an equally insane political rant called Earth set to warm 3.2 degrees 1.00

00:08:53.600 Celsius by 2100 unless efforts to cut emissions are tripled, new UN report finds. And then you see the

00:09:02.480 sub-headline there, one expert calls findings of 3.2 degrees Celsius warming terrifying. Terrifying.

00:09:09.000 That's one scientist says. Only later in the article do you find out that that expert was actually just a

00:09:15.560 senior appointee in the Obama administration. But still, why not call him an expert so you can claim

00:09:21.220 it's sciency to be terrified? I mean, if we're not careful and don't get terrified to pay more carbon

00:09:29.620 taxes, you know, snowing, snow, winter, that could just be a thing of the past. At least that's what this

00:09:37.060 prediction in the year 2000 by a very woke newspaper called The Independent. You see about

00:09:43.460 two-thirds of the way down there, you can see their headline, snowfalls are now just a thing of the

00:09:48.500 past. Our kids won't know what snow is. Now, if you click on the original page of The Independent,

00:09:55.440 they've actually deleted it from their website because time has proven it to be so foolish,

00:10:00.200 but not before a zillion people took a screenshot of it like I showed you there. Oh, and here is the

00:10:04.980 same prediction again, though, made in the year 2016. Will snow become a thing in the past? Yeah, I'm sure

00:10:12.860 this will be deleted in a few years, too, and then someone else will repeat the doomsday scenario. But

00:10:17.700 look, that's not really nuts compared to the latest fad. We have only 12 years left to live. Or is it 10 years

00:10:27.460 left to live? Or is it nine years left to live? I don't know.

00:10:32.860 And I think that the part of it that is generational is that millennials and people and, you know, Gen Z

00:10:43.520 and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we're like, the world is going to end in 12

00:10:50.120 years if we don't address climate change. And your biggest issue is your biggest issue is how are we

00:10:59.880 going to pay for it? That precision 12 years, not not 11, not 13. It's just gorgeous. That's just

00:11:09.180 good. The thing about a good apocalyptic doomsday cult is that the moment of truth is close enough

00:11:14.880 that you can scare people into giving you money or whatever, which she was after them. But it's far

00:11:20.900 enough into the future that the cult leader or whoever is saying the sky's going to fall can fleece

00:11:26.360 everybody before that moment of truth arrives. And when it does arrive, just delete the website where

00:11:32.640 you made the prediction. Now look at that terrifying picture on the CBC's website. Wow, that's very

00:11:41.400 global warming-ish, isn't it? But those are actually Australian wildfires, which apparently, by

00:11:48.880 implication here, only started happening in recent years since Trump became president or something.

00:11:53.820 They've never happened before. Now it's true there have been some bad Australian brush fires. So what

00:11:59.600 caused them? Was it global warming? Well, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, that's

00:12:05.980 Australia's CBC. They've actually all been caused by humans, or in some cases, lightning.

00:12:13.700 Here's a story from the ABC. Last week, we learned that the Binnaburra Fire, which destroyed the

00:12:19.680 historic Binnaburra Lodge in southeast Queensland, was started by a carelessly discarded cigarette.

00:12:26.960 And the Gold Coast Hinderland, which fires the week before, may have been started by army live

00:12:31.940 firing exercises at the Kokoda Barracks, a spokesman for the Australian Defence Force has conceded.

00:12:39.940 We know that hot, dry and windy weather increases the risk of fire starting. But here's what we

00:12:47.020 know about what actually provides a spark, the nine categories of bushfire ignition. You can see them

00:12:52.420 smoking, arson, sparks from railroads, campfires, lightning. None of the nine are global warming.

00:13:03.760 Sorry, the CBC's lying to you again. But let's get to the heart of the story today on the CBC,

00:13:10.680 that one insane statistic that they're terrified about. They love those insane statistics. It makes

00:13:17.280 it sciency when you could add a number. That Bill Nye gender dance was weird and gross. But I don't 0.99

00:13:25.280 think it really worked because it wasn't convincing because it was just really bad singing and really

00:13:29.520 bad dancing and just sort of gross. But there was no pretend science there, no number, no 10 years

00:13:35.980 till we're dead, no 11,000 scientists say. So it wasn't sciency. So here's what today's CBC story

00:13:44.120 by the CBC's non-scientist science reporter said. Without drastic action, our planet is headed

00:13:52.280 towards warming of 3.2 degrees Celsius in less than 100 years, according to a new report.

00:13:58.300 Jennifer Francis, a senior scientist at Woods Hole Research Center in Falmouth, Massachusetts,

00:14:04.660 an independent research organization that studies climate change, said that a 3.2 degree Celsius

00:14:10.200 warming world would cause untold suffering. Because that's science language too.

00:14:16.680 So who is this Woods Hole Research Center that is so independent that the CBC felt obliged to call

00:14:23.800 them independent? Well, I googled it. And I know you're not supposed to do things like ask questions

00:14:30.240 as a reporter. You're not supposed to think for yourself. But shocker, do you see the names there,

00:14:35.460 the board, the leadership of the Woods Hole Research Center? It's Obama's former global warming

00:14:42.980 advisors. There's Philip Duffy there. I don't know if you can see his name. And former senior advisor

00:14:51.600 to Barack Obama. And there's James Holdren, Obama's top science staffer for eight years.

00:14:58.100 So yeah, why is the CBC lying to you again? Why are they saying they're independent researchers?

00:15:05.700 They're Obama's staff. So back to the 3.2 degrees Celsius nightmare, terrifying thing. I don't believe

00:15:15.560 it, just like I didn't believe it. In the year 2000, when some kook looking for a grant or a subsidy 0.97

00:15:21.080 said all the snow would be gone by now. Or back to the fake scientist CBC reporter for a second here.

00:15:28.340 She says, the good news. As is typical with any UN climate change report, there's a positive take.

00:15:35.460 Hey guys, I'm a science reporter and I can tell you that. Countries committed to the Paris Agreement

00:15:40.460 and NDCs, I'll explain that in a minute, are set to meet in Madrid on December 2nd for the United Nations

00:15:47.880 Climate Change Conference and to meet in Glasgow in November 2020 to examine NDC efforts.

00:15:55.560 But the new report says countries can't wait that long. Action needs to be taken immediately.

00:16:00.480 So you don't have 12 years, people. Well, scientists said there's good news. The United Nations here to

00:16:07.340 save us. That's the good news, people, according to the scientists. Action needs to be taken immediately.

00:16:12.860 It's all agreed. The CBC, the UN, Obama's people, we all agree. Let me read a little bit

00:16:17.680 more from the CBC science reporter, who's not a scientist. Renewables and energy efficiency is

00:16:22.780 one of the key measures to effectively reduce emissions. And the electrification of heat and

00:16:27.220 energy and even transportation could make measure headway. With that, however, comes a hefty price

00:16:32.620 tag, roughly 1.6 to 3.8 trillion dollars annually over the next decade. Why don't you just say

00:16:41.720 gazillion, guys? Why don't you just say gazillion? But it will be worth the cost,

00:16:49.260 Ohlhoff says. That's some UN bureaucrat. This is definitely not a world we want to pass on to our

00:16:54.640 children and grandchildren, she said. Speak for yourself. It's not a world we want. Speak for

00:17:01.900 yourself. Hey, all you need, guys, is 2, 3, 4 trillion per year spent on us and we'll save you

00:17:10.920 from this terrifying boogeyman. No big deal. Hey, by the way, you could get every single person in the

00:17:16.560 world, everyone in the world, including Grassy Narrows, Canada, clean water for that. Everyone.

00:17:22.440 You could end hunger for the entire world for that. You could build housing for, what, 100 million

00:17:31.740 people a year? Easily. But no, no, no. Spend it on green schemes and wind turbines, guys. That's

00:17:39.600 what Ohlhoff says. That's Ann Ohlhoff of the United Nations. So I guess it's settled, right? I mean,

00:17:44.520 who are you to go up against the 11,000 scientists or the Woods Hole independent researchers?

00:17:52.440 Scientists. Scientists. Scientists. Scientists. Scientists. Scientists. Yeah, they're not really

00:18:00.180 scientists. They're lobbyists and politicians. And in the case of this CBC reporter, someone with

00:18:05.420 a bachelor's vocational degree in storytelling, and she's doing a great job. But let's look at the

00:18:11.160 UN report itself. Because I no longer trust a word I hear from the CBC about it. I don't trust

00:18:17.380 the report. It's from the liars of the United Nations who want all your money. But let's see 0.91

00:18:24.180 what the scientists at the CBC twisted. So here it is. Here's the UN report itself. Now let me tell

00:18:32.740 you about one piece of jargon first. NDC. You saw that in the CBC story. Here's their official

00:18:37.900 definition. Nationally determined contribution. Submissions by countries that have ratified the

00:18:44.180 Paris Agreement, which presents their national efforts to reach the Paris Agreement's long-term

00:18:49.000 temperature goal of limiting warming to well below two degrees Celsius. So it's all the promises

00:18:53.860 that politicians make of the UN. That's an NDC. It's a promise. And by the way, no country,

00:18:59.400 especially not Canada, has kept their promise. The point is to make the promise, get a lot of PR,

00:19:04.640 get the CBC to say how good you are. It's not to actually destroy your economy. No one's keeping

00:19:10.240 these promises, these NDCs. And there's just one more piece of jargon. Conditional NDCs. What a bunch

00:19:16.900 of baloney, eh? But here's how they define that. Conditional NDC. NDC proposed by some countries that 0.97

00:19:25.740 are contingent on a range of possible conditions, such as the ability of national legislatures to

00:19:31.320 enact the necessary laws. Ambitious action from other countries. Realization of finance and technical

00:19:37.540 support or other factors. So a conditional NDC is another way of saying a daydream, a stretch goal,

00:19:45.500 something that will never happen given that the regular provinces aren't happening. This is just

00:19:51.040 fantasy land now. The UN's good at that. So here's the part in the report about the 3.2 degrees. You

00:19:57.420 remember that was sort of the terrifying part in the CBC story? Here's the report. If current

00:20:03.740 conditions, unconditional NDCs are fully implemented, there's a 66% chance that warming will be limited

00:20:11.660 to 3.2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. If conditional NDCs, those are the fantasies,

00:20:18.740 are also effectively implemented, warming will likely reduce by about 0.2 degrees Celsius.

00:20:28.200 Is that it? So let me translate. If every country in the world were to do everything they promised to

00:20:37.840 do to fight global warming, the UN says the world is still going to get 3.2 degrees warmer

00:20:44.780 in the year 2100. Now, I don't believe it, of course. They'll always be wrong. Every single year,

00:20:51.920 they're wrong. They're always wrong in the same direction. These are the people who said there

00:20:56.540 will be no snow by now. But let's assume that these liars of the United Nations are actually

00:21:01.740 telling the truth. So they're saying if every single country in the world keeps their global

00:21:07.240 warming promise, the world will still warm by 3.2 degrees by the year 2100. But here's the good news,

00:21:16.480 people. If every country in the world goes even further than their promises and does all their

00:21:24.520 fantasy goals, which will never happen, of course, but even in that daydream scenario,

00:21:32.520 the UN says the globe will still warm. It won't make a difference. It won't stop the warming.

00:21:39.440 It will still be 3.0 degrees warmer in the year 2100. So even if we spent the trillions of dollars a year,

00:21:47.260 instead of warming by 3.2 degrees in the year 2100, it'll just warm by 3.0 degrees by the year 2100.

00:21:56.300 No difference to any impact. It's just the same thing. But we'll have to spend 2, 3, 4 trillion dollars a year per year

00:22:07.680 for the next 80 years. Who would be that stupid? Well, CBC. 1.00

00:22:15.300 Who would spend trillions of dollars a year on a global warming scheme when even the UN itself says

00:22:22.000 it will not make a difference? The world will still warm. By the year 2100, if you spend trillions of

00:22:28.140 dollars per year on their schemes, it will still get warmer. Spend trillions, and by the year 2100,

00:22:33.600 you'll have a 3.0 degree warming, not a 3.2 degree warming. There's no practical difference. Yeah,

00:22:38.760 no, no one's that dumb. That's the comedy here. That's what the CBC left out. 0.99

00:22:42.340 Look at this chart in the report. Figure ES2. That's the one on the left there. You see that

00:22:48.000 chart on the left? It's countries and the amount of the emissions. Most of the lines are sort of flat.

00:22:55.780 But you see that skyrocketing line? That's China. That's China. The line that's flat, it's America. 0.74

00:23:04.780 You can see that. Despite a massive increase in their economy in the last 30 years, their emissions

00:23:09.700 are flat. Mainly fracking is to credit for the decrease in greenhouse gases. They burn natural

00:23:15.280 gas now, not coal so much. Do you see the other line that's growing quickly? It's the fourth line

00:23:21.560 down. That's India. And do you see the Canadian line on there? No, you don't. Because Canada is 0.76

00:23:31.440 just, what, 1.6% of the world's emissions? We wouldn't even be on that chart. Let me show you

00:23:40.480 just one last chart. Here's the UN's suggestions for how we're going to get there. Here's the

00:23:45.980 big plan. You see that there? China. It's their to-do list for China. I'm just going to read three of 0.98

00:23:53.840 these. Ban all new coal-fired power plants. Okay, just that. Continue governmental support

00:24:01.940 for renewables, taking into account cost reductions and accelerate development towards a 100% carbon-free

00:24:08.600 electricity system. Support the uptake of electric mobility, aiming for 100% CO2-free new vehicles.

00:24:18.000 Hey, guys, just do those things. Just ban all new coal-fired power plants. Yeah. I love this story

00:24:26.460 in the New York Times. I show it from time to time. It's just so great. As Beijing joins climate

00:24:31.900 fight, Chinese companies build coal plants. Let me read just one line. It's from the New York Times.

00:24:38.100 These Chinese corporations are planning or building or planning to build more than 700 new coal plants

00:24:44.140 at home and around the world. Yeah, that's not going to stop. They're not going to stop that.

00:24:50.740 They're not going to stop building hundreds of coal-fired power plants. People need power.

00:24:55.940 They need electricity. Most of China's energy is from coal. It will be for decades. You don't build a

00:25:03.380 coal-fired power plant for a few years. You build it for 50, maybe even 100 years. And so every electric

00:25:09.840 vehicle in China, even if they could afford a Tesla, they would be running on coal, too, since that's where

00:25:18.080 the electricity comes from to charge them. A Tesla in China burns coal like it does in California.

00:25:27.640 What a joke. This whole thing is a joke. This whole thing is fake. Everything about this is fake.

00:25:32.720 As fake as the 11,000 scientists, the CBC science reporter is not a scientist. She quotes an independent

00:25:40.040 think tank that's actually run by Obama's staff. She claims that a 3.2 degree Celsius increase in the

00:25:47.680 next century is terrifying. But hey, guys, good news. The United Nations is meeting. So if we do what

00:25:53.660 they say and spend what they tell us to spend, we can get that down to 3.0 degrees 80 years from now, 0.99

00:25:59.980 which is not going to happen because China isn't as stupid as Trudeau is or the CBC is. 1.00

00:26:06.660 Who do you think is the bigger liar here? The UN or the CBC? Stay with us for more. 1.00

00:26:13.620 Right now we're in the middle of the demonstration outside of Poly University. Poly University is the campus where 20 students are holed up following eight days of being blockaded inside of the campus.

00:26:37.420 They're running out of food. Some say on Telegram that they've been contemplating suicide. Now, this crowd has gathered here in the aftermath of the election that happened on Sunday where there's an overwhelming Democratic win.

00:26:48.420 Now, that means that the pro-Beijing loyalist parties lost a ton of seats here in Hong Kong. And in light of that, they've all of these Hong Kong students and graduates have come to the periphery of the Poly University campus and are chanting five demands, not one less.

00:27:06.560 Liberate Hong Kong. And now, if you look up there, we'll just point the camera up there. I'm not sure if you'll be able to see them, but there's police officers pacing along this walkway that goes straight into the campus from over here from the street, from the main market area right next to the campus, into the campus.

00:27:28.580 There's police walking along there, and what we're seeing is the crowd is heckling them. I've never seen anything like this. Thousands of people shining their phone lights.

00:27:40.860 They're shining their phone lights at them, chanting at the police officers walking along that walkway. This is surreal.

00:27:49.160 Well, how exciting is that? Our own Kian Bextie right in the thick of it at the university campus in Hong Kong that has been the focal point of so many of the democracy movement's protests.

00:28:03.280 And the police, well, counter-protest isn't the right word. The preliminary steps to what I worried was going to be a Tiananmen Square-style massacre.

00:28:13.580 Thank God that didn't happen. In fact, what did happen was a local municipal election throughout Hong Kong, although it didn't deal with grand issues, it was very much, you know, who picks up the garbage and low-level municipal affairs.

00:28:31.060 It was a proxy for the larger fight. There were pro-Beijing parties and pro-Hong Kong parties.

00:28:37.820 And the pro-Hong Kong parties slaughtered the Beijing side, and Kian was there. 0.96

00:28:43.540 I shouldn't say the word slaughter when I'm talking about Hong Kong, because death is a threat from Beijing, for sure.

00:28:49.460 Joining us now to talk about his days in Hong Kong is our friend Kian Bextie. Kian, great work.

00:28:55.880 Thanks so much. Yeah, it's been surreal being here on the ground in Hong Kong.

00:29:00.440 It's like nothing I've—every time I go to a new location for this job with Rebel News, I always say it's like nothing I've ever seen before.

00:29:10.300 But this truly was just a surreal experience being on the ground where there's so many people fighting for their liberty in the true sense of the word.

00:29:21.260 It's been great to be here.

00:29:23.200 Well, that's great. And you were right at the front. I know when you left from Canada, we didn't know how it would be.

00:29:33.120 You took a gas mask and other equipment. That wasn't necessary this time, was it?

00:29:39.800 Well, it's been nice to have on hand, because we just never, like, we never know what's going to set these guys off.

00:29:50.240 For some background, just before we got here, and it's something that I wasn't aware of until just about two days ago,

00:29:56.360 a new police chief was installed just before we got here, after the Pali-U debacle.

00:30:01.980 So that new police chief has clearly given the order to the beat cops to not engage and not escalate.

00:30:10.620 And we've been seeing that quite clearly, even though they've been given plenty of opportunity to do so.

00:30:15.440 The police have actually been exercising some restraint, which was nice.

00:30:19.540 But it's been nice to have the safety equipment on hand, because while I was on the front line there at Pali-U,

00:30:26.460 while protesters were pressing up against the barricades that were set up, just pushing the limits,

00:30:33.140 because, understandable so, their comrades are self-harming themselves as they're locked up in Pali-U,

00:30:42.100 as they're starving there. It's a sad state of affairs.

00:30:45.260 But as they're pushing up against these barriers, very angry, it just takes a few accidents,

00:30:52.300 or just a little bit of miscommunication about what's going on.

00:30:55.200 Someone's stepping in the wrong place for the police to feel threatened.

00:30:58.500 And it felt, last night, like it could have broken out at about half a dozen different times,

00:31:05.180 when protesters started storming, actually, a hotel where a police officer's wedding was happening,

00:31:11.380 to when they pushed those barricades actually at Pali-U, to when they started throwing things,

00:31:16.920 well, actually, when the cops were throwing things back at protesters and vice versa,

00:31:21.160 and when they were flashing lights.

00:31:22.240 There were so many moments where it looked like things were going to go off,

00:31:26.320 and then one police officer sort of restrained the rest of them to make sure nothing actually ended up happening.

00:31:31.200 But we're keeping the safety equipment close, because, you know, you never know what's going to happen.

00:31:36.660 Yeah.

00:31:37.080 Now, I saw an interesting tweet that you made, and if you've got time, maybe you can do a video on the subject.

00:31:43.660 You and our cameraman are staying at a hotel, and you say that three men in suits suddenly came in and said,

00:31:51.560 we're here to clean.

00:31:52.780 Give us the details.

00:31:54.080 I hope I'm not misstating things.

00:31:55.960 What happened at the hotel, and what happened with the cell phone little circuits, the SIM card?

00:32:02.220 Tell us about that, and we'll show your tweet at the same time.

00:32:06.240 Yeah, so my cameraman and I got back to our hotel room to edit a video after we had chased.

00:32:13.780 I couldn't believe our luck, actually.

00:32:15.640 We were at one of these lunchtime protests, and we were just sort of filming things happening,

00:32:20.400 and as we were there, we chanced upon Regina Ip, who was the former Secretary of Security, basically, here in Hong Kong.

00:32:29.780 That's intelligence, basically sort of the head of the FBI and CIA together here in Hong Kong and their equivalents.

00:32:37.960 And it seemed like she appeared just to provoke everyone.

00:32:41.860 It was a weird situation.

00:32:44.320 I would compare it to if Donald Trump lost the federal election in 2020 and then purposefully walked through a crowd of Antifa.

00:32:55.440 That's effectively what happened.

00:32:57.600 So she was surrounded by a bunch of police officers just antagonizing everyone, and we couldn't believe our eyes when we saw it.

00:33:03.280 And we got back to the hotel room to edit this video after we met one of the chief people here in Hong Kong.

00:33:09.140 And as we did, we were sitting down, and we had the Do Not Disturb sign on the door, and all of a sudden we heard a quick knock.

00:33:19.020 And before I could get to the door, the door was actually opening.

00:33:23.420 And I stand in front of the door as the door is open, and I see three men in suits.

00:33:28.580 One, appeared to be a hotel staff member, and two, it wasn't clear why they were there.

00:33:35.580 And then I said, well, what are you doing here?

00:33:37.680 And they said, oh, do you need the room clean?

00:33:42.280 We're cleaning for you.

00:33:47.420 It was sort of mixed Cantonese-English.

00:33:50.620 And then I was like, no, we don't need that.

00:33:53.800 Do not disturb signs on the door.

00:33:55.060 What are you doing here?

00:33:55.660 And they said, oh, don't worry, and Cantonese, I think, said goodbye.

00:34:00.220 And I thought that was really curious.

00:34:02.040 I've never seen a situation where three men in suits are coming to clean rooms.

00:34:08.080 Maybe if they were checking to see if a room needed to be cleaned, but I don't know why they would need three of them.

00:34:14.580 I don't know why they would be in suits and why they wouldn't send a maid there. 1.00

00:34:17.360 And I certainly don't know why they would enter a room while the do not disturb sign was on the door.

00:34:24.420 We were gone from the hotel most of the day, so maybe they thought we weren't in there and they were coming to check out the room.

00:34:30.400 I mean, we're quite clearly journalists.

00:34:34.860 When we came into the hotel to check in, we had to give them our passports, which I thought was weird on the get-go.

00:34:41.300 But I guess that standard practice here in Hong Kong helps Beijing keep track of political dissidents here coming into the country.

00:34:47.580 So I thought this was all curious.

00:34:50.500 We closed the door, and we went back to editing the video, and I was a little bit concerned.

00:34:55.780 And then as I was walking, we sort of looked around the room on a little bit more high alert than what we were before.

00:35:01.540 We thought, well, maybe they were coming to bug the room.

00:35:03.460 Maybe they were coming to pick up a bug that was in the room.

00:35:05.940 We didn't know what was going on.

00:35:07.240 But we looked on the floor, and something I noticed was a little chip, and it was a SIM card.

00:35:12.080 And I don't want to say too much about it because I'm sure – well, I still have the SIM card on me.

00:35:19.360 We're going to be bringing it back to Canada to analyze it, but I have it on good authority that this is something from what looks like a burner phone,

00:35:27.020 or it's something that could trace a phone if it was in a device.

00:35:33.620 Now, we checked all of our devices.

00:35:34.740 There was nothing strange about the devices that we saw.

00:35:38.140 But what I imagine this was was sort of a phishing attempt.

00:35:43.420 This is just a guess.

00:35:44.600 It seems like a phishing attempt where you drop a SIM card and hope that the people who find it will put it in their phone out of curiosity.

00:35:52.700 And when they do that, it could compromise the device.

00:35:55.460 Now, we have no idea.

00:35:56.540 We're going to bring it back to Canada and have our security guys analyze it.

00:35:59.780 Hopefully, they can figure something out, figure out why it was there.

00:36:02.000 But what's curious is that it's not mine, it's not my cameraman's, and it was certainly most definitely not on the floor when we took custody of the room.

00:36:13.040 We had the room for about three days before we found it.

00:36:16.680 And the Do Not Disturb sign was on the door the whole time.

00:36:19.340 We didn't want any maids coming in and going through our stuff or anything like that.

00:36:22.540 So there's no way this could have gotten here.

00:36:27.160 We just don't understand why that SIM card would be in our room.

00:36:29.900 It's just such a curious thing.

00:36:31.800 So we're going to look at it and see what we can find from it when we bring it back to Canada.

00:36:35.460 Yeah.

00:36:35.900 Well, of course, China has perfected the surveillance state. 0.51

00:36:40.360 They've perfected it through technology.

00:36:42.580 It's one of the reasons why here in Canada and the other allies, United States, Australia, New Zealand, UK,

00:36:48.840 are very wary about using Chinese hardware made by Huawei to create the 5G telecom network

00:36:57.960 because they are really world leaders in spying in some ways.

00:37:03.220 Huawei is even more developed than its Western counterparts.

00:37:06.900 Facial recognition.

00:37:08.780 I'm sure they have downloaded everything about you, including any Canadian government records.

00:37:15.420 I'm sure they know all your social media posts.

00:37:17.800 I'm sure, you know, we'll have to talk maybe off camera about if you left any equipment in the hotel

00:37:23.400 when you went out into the streets because, frankly, that equipment might be compromised beyond redemption.

00:37:31.300 That's what it's like when you're fighting in an asymmetrical war like has been going on in Hong Kong.

00:37:39.000 Now, in the background, I saw a familiar face there, a cameraman that has worked with our friend Avi before,

00:37:47.800 and I know you've been there with Avi Yamini, a good guy who we sent.

00:37:52.180 Tell me a little bit how it's been like working with him.

00:37:54.700 He's fairly well known in Hong Kong because of the trip he made with us

00:37:59.540 and because of the work he's been doing in Australia pushing back against Beijing, right?

00:38:03.780 Yeah, you're right about that.

00:38:06.700 I mean, I'm actually in the – it's a cultural district here in Hong Kong that we're in,

00:38:13.440 and on the way here from our hotel – it's our last night here, so we came out to celebrate.

00:38:18.060 I'm with Avi right now.

00:38:19.280 I'm that cameraman you mentioned as well as my cameraman.

00:38:21.560 And the local guide who lives here in Hong Kong who – I don't need to talk about her.

00:38:28.320 We probably wanted to be a little bit more confidential so China can't figure out who's been helping us here.

00:38:33.300 But we came here as we were walking to this district.

00:38:39.260 Three people stopped Avi as a famous YouTuber, which I thought was hilarious.

00:38:44.340 It's not like we were at a protest or anything along those lines.

00:38:47.660 We're just walking through Hong Kong and three people stopped him.

00:38:50.220 And while we were actually at a protest, at one of the lunchtime protests that they have daily here in the central district,

00:38:56.940 which is the business district here in Hong Kong, after that hour-long protest wrapped up,

00:39:02.840 which Avi was recording and filming, there was a lineup of about 30 people waiting to take selfies with him.

00:39:09.100 We recorded the whole thing from start to finish, and it was about 10, 12 minutes of footage

00:39:14.840 of just people lining up to take selfies with Avi.

00:39:17.440 They're huge fans of his work because of the confrontations he's had with some mainlanders here.

00:39:25.120 Those videos really went viral, as well as the China is Asshole video. 0.91

00:39:30.960 That was a video he did for us here.

00:39:34.480 Just take a quick look at that.

00:39:35.720 It makes me laugh so hard.

00:39:37.440 He asked this Hong Kong protester what his message was for Donald Trump.

00:39:43.020 You take a look at that.

00:39:43.900 And what's your message to, have you seen Donald Trump?

00:39:48.160 Do you think he should step in?

00:39:49.520 Donald Trump, don't trust China. 1.00

00:39:51.100 China is Asshole. 0.99

00:39:52.320 I'm really glad that you and he teamed up on the ground, 0.96

00:39:56.340 because it looks like the both of you got access to a lot of very interesting things.

00:40:02.100 And I look forward to us being able to cover this story in the months ahead.

00:40:06.500 I think it's important, and I look at these protesters.

00:40:11.300 They seem smart, principled, disciplined.

00:40:14.940 They love values that they inherited from the Brits, democracy, rule of law, free speech.

00:40:21.100 I really have a great sympathy for them.

00:40:23.320 And I don't know, I feel like covering them and telling their story to the world

00:40:28.840 that much of the legacy media, which is pro-Beijing, won't do.

00:40:33.520 I feel that's an important project for us.

00:40:36.060 And I'm glad you were out there.

00:40:37.440 And all our donors who went to HongKongReports.com, thanks for doing that.

00:40:41.640 And if you haven't gone to HongKongReports.com, please do chip in,

00:40:44.940 because I checked, and as of now, we're not yet recovered our costs for this project.

00:40:49.240 So hopefully we can.

00:40:50.440 Last word to you, Kian. 1.00

00:40:51.420 So the last thing that we did here was we went to a vigil for the students that are in PaliU.

00:41:00.120 There's still 20 of them that are reportedly one of them.

00:41:04.100 It sounds, unfortunately, like he's slit his throat.

00:41:08.260 It's just a very sad state of affairs at PaliU.

00:41:11.500 And we were at this vigil where all the protesters were singing, and they had a moment of silence.

00:41:18.100 It was really a moving tribute to these freedom fighters who were locked in PaliU as they're surrounded by rioters.

00:41:24.160 Still, through this moment, they're still in there.

00:41:26.240 They've been in there for about 10 days now.

00:41:28.100 I'm going to be following this as I come back to Canada, because it's just such a unique situation,

00:41:36.180 where the police officers of the city are surrounding a group of children out of,

00:41:45.160 and they're staying in this campus after they leave.

00:41:49.300 They'll be imprisoned on charges along the lines of rioting and attempted murder following what we saw at PaliU 10 days ago.

00:41:59.640 Even if these folks didn't commit anything, the Beijing loyal government here in Hong Kong is going to throw the book at these kids.

00:42:07.880 It's very sad, but this vigil that we went to, we're preparing a video to release tomorrow morning.

00:42:12.400 And I hope that everyone watches it, because it really is, it really was a moving thing to be at.

00:42:18.960 Well, listen, congratulations, Kian.

00:42:21.120 You've traveled to interesting places for the Rebel, and you've done a great job everywhere you've gone.

00:42:26.540 We look forward to having you back safe and sound in Canada.

00:42:29.160 We'll have to make sure that your hardware is not compromised by Chinese spyware or malware.

00:42:35.500 We might have to, frankly, chuck it all and get new stuff.

00:42:38.200 And we'll keep an eye on the story now that you have contacts and friends in China, in Hong Kong, rather.

00:42:46.700 I'm sure they'll keep you posted with all sorts of tips and news.

00:42:50.720 And if we can get the support from our viewers, I'm happy to send you back to cover the story.

00:42:57.120 Agreed. I'd love to come back.

00:42:58.840 All right. Thanks, Kian. Travel safe, and we'll see you in Canada.

00:43:04.040 Thanks, everyone.

00:43:04.600 All right. Then we'll have a Kian Bextie, who, along with our cameraman, has been in Hong Kong for the last four or five days.

00:43:11.980 I checked, and we haven't yet met the crowdfunding costs.

00:43:16.600 I can assure you, Efron and Kian flew economy class, and they're staying in very affordable hotels.

00:43:21.820 All the hotels in Hong Kong right now are quite cheap.

00:43:25.240 Tourism, as you can imagine, is depressed.

00:43:27.540 But for whatever reason, we haven't recouped our costs.

00:43:31.140 If you feel like this is important, reporters, please go to HongKongReports.com and help us chip in to cover those.

00:43:41.060 All right. Stay with us. Go ahead.

00:43:42.120 Hey, welcome back. Here's your viewer mail question to you, Ezra.

00:43:54.040 You've been broadcasting for seven or eight years now, including your time with Sun News.

00:43:57.540 With the Trudeau government still in power, what are the chances of you still broadcasting seven or eight years in the future?

00:44:03.180 Regards, Peter.

00:44:03.960 That is a very good point.

00:44:06.680 I think if we are to be shut down, it's likely to come stealthily from the government through, to be laundered through, to be contracted out to something like you two.

00:44:19.100 I mean, if the government were to take a frontal attack on us, we would see it coming.

00:44:23.820 We could fight back, scream like hell, go to court, and it would be messy, and we might even win, like we won when Trudeau tried to ban us from the leaders' debates.

00:44:35.520 But if they were just to make a phone call to Facebook or YouTube or Twitter and say, hey, shut that guy down.

00:44:43.640 And if they were to obey, as they've obeyed to so many people on the right, how would we even know what happened there?

00:44:49.180 So, yeah, I think there is a significant threat that we will be deplatformed in the next seven or eight years.

00:44:55.920 It is a significant risk that it will come from Justin Trudeau, but we'll be masked through some cutout, some middleman like YouTube.

00:45:04.660 Steve writes, isn't this the way of the left to spout off nasty slurs first?

00:45:10.880 Guess it makes them feel good somehow.

00:45:12.980 Later, some will recant what they said, but very few.

00:45:15.300 Well, here's the thing, Steve.

00:45:17.140 I presume you're talking about folks calling Sheila a Nazi.

00:45:20.460 Can I state the obvious?

00:45:24.340 No one believes Sheila is a Nazi.

00:45:27.900 Nazis certainly wouldn't believe it.

00:45:29.780 She's a Jew lover who goes to Israel and goes to the Holocaust Museum and went to Auschwitz to do a memorial video. 0.58

00:45:37.400 I mean, a Nazi wouldn't believe it.

00:45:40.520 Her friends and neighbors and family wouldn't believe it.

00:45:42.660 None of her viewers would believe it.

00:45:43.880 Even leftist critics wouldn't believe it.

00:45:46.920 They would say she's conservative and they might comment on her personality, which I find very friendly, by the way. 0.94

00:45:54.360 But there is no one who would genuinely think she's a Nazi.

00:46:00.460 Even that David Barrett did not actually think she's a Nazi.

00:46:05.420 If you, can you imagine actually, oh my God, there's a Nazi. 0.56

00:46:08.880 There's a Nazi.

00:46:09.700 Like, if we actually thought there was a Nazi, the whole place would be panicking.

00:46:14.100 No one, no one for a second thinks she's a Nazi.

00:46:17.460 It is being used because we know she's not a Nazi.

00:46:21.400 That's why they choose that vicious insult, precisely because they know it's not true.

00:46:26.960 So it will do harm.

00:46:28.160 Yeah, well, he apologized and paid $1,200.

00:46:32.540 Paul writes,

00:46:33.140 Oh, I remember that.

00:46:50.920 I mean, look, Seamus O'Regan was in Justin Trudeau's wedding party.

00:46:57.480 And were it not for that, he would have no place in cabinet.

00:47:01.500 I could picture him as a local MP because he had some local notoriety in St. John's.

00:47:08.180 He has no place in cabinet other than the fact that he was in the wedding party.

00:47:10.860 And as we all know now, he's an alcoholic.

00:47:13.120 He had to take time off his duties to go to rehab.

00:47:17.080 And by the way, I wish him well.

00:47:18.540 I hope he dries out.

00:47:20.040 But imagine the chutzpah of demonizing Rob Ford for his addictions

00:47:25.840 while Seamus O'Regan was a drunk who was hiding that from voters and covering up himself.

00:47:34.380 I mean, it's one thing to poke fun at another's addictions.

00:47:37.640 And maybe it's appropriate to have done that to Rob Ford.

00:47:40.280 I'm not quite so sure. 0.60

00:47:42.040 But the arrogance, the chutzpah, the hypocrisy of Seamus O'Regan doing that,

00:47:46.320 I think that shows his character, don't you?

00:47:49.300 Well, that's our stories for today.

00:47:51.320 That's our show for tonight.

00:47:52.800 I think I'm going to be covering news in the field tomorrow.

00:47:58.260 Wish me luck out there.

00:47:59.940 Until then, on behalf of all of us here, we'll have a show for tonight, for tomorrow.

00:48:04.080 But I'll be taping it on location.

00:48:06.860 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rubble World Headquarters,

00:48:10.240 goodnight and keep fighting for freedom.

00:48:12.240 Ain't no doubt.

00:48:13.380 I won't let the Bible be leaving as much as we do. 0.96

00:48:14.600 We'll have a show of the people in the field tomorrow.
