00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. Today, I take you through some reports from China of that government
00:00:04.960 rounding up black migrant workers, many of them from Nigeria. I didn't know China had such a
00:00:11.260 large black population. Of course, they have no rights as a citizen, 1.00
00:00:15.360 but they're being treated in a form of apartheid. And get this, they are being blamed by the
00:00:22.240 government of China for the coronavirus. That's chutzpah, my friends. And yeah, I'll have that 1.00
00:00:28.200 whole story, but I want to encourage you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. You get the video
00:00:33.920 version of this podcast, and that is essential to see these cell phone videos taken on the streets
00:00:40.400 of Guangdong, China, showing black people being rounded up by Chinese police. I just want you 1.00
00:00:46.400 to see that with your own eyes, because that's all the proof you need. So get that by going to
00:00:50.480 rebelnews.com, and it's eight bucks a month to join Rebel News Plus. All right, here's today's podcast.
00:00:58.200 Tonight, China launches a racist war, blaming black people for the Chinese coronavirus.
00:01:17.240 It's April 13th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:19.580 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:25.400 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:29.460 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I'm publishing it is because it's
00:01:33.860 my bloody right to do so.
00:01:40.420 Just a few days ago, the Secretary General of the UN's World Health Organization,
00:01:44.220 Tedros Adhanom, the first WHO boss without a medical degree. He's a human rights abuser in
00:01:51.940 his own right, as a former senior boss in Ethiopia. He's a China shill. That man dared to attack 1.00
00:01:59.520 little Taiwan, the ethnically Chinese democracy across the Strait of Formosa from China itself.
00:02:06.260 Tedros claimed with zero evidence that Taiwan was engaging in racist attacks against him.
00:02:12.460 We cannot tolerate that. But since I don't have any inferiority complex when I am personally
00:02:18.760 affected or attacked by racial slurs, I don't care because I am a very proud black person or
00:02:27.180 Negro. I don't care being called even Negro. I am. That's what came from some quarters.
00:02:35.200 And if you want me to be specific, three months ago, this attack came from Taiwan.
00:02:42.500 We need to be honest. I will be straight today.
00:02:47.020 From Taiwan.
00:02:50.420 And Taiwan, the foreign ministry or so, they know the campaign.
00:02:54.920 They didn't dissociate themselves. They even started criticizing me in the middle of all
00:03:01.500 that insult and slur. But I didn't care. Three months. I say it today because it's enough.
00:03:12.140 That is so weird. It was a false accusation. A Jussie Smollett fake. It was a hoax. It was
00:03:24.740 unseemly for the leader of a major organization to say that. But if you understand China and its
00:03:30.280 hatred for democracy, then it starts to make sense. Taiwan, a democracy, because it was kicked out of
00:03:37.320 the World Health Organization by China has had to go it alone. They know they won't get help from the
00:03:42.620 World Health Organization. They know they can't trust it. So they went ahead and set up their own
00:03:46.800 national health command. They had to. It was a necessity because the UN's health organization
00:03:51.840 wasn't there for them. And being kicked out of that corrupt globalist club was the best thing to
00:03:58.880 ever happen to Taiwan because they didn't trust anyone but themselves. So they knew China was lying
00:04:03.720 about the virus. So they knew the World Health Organization's early advice on masks and quarantines
00:04:09.400 was false. It's just Chinese propaganda. So Taiwan immediately started restricting flights from
00:04:14.700 China. Started ramping up their national face mask production. Huge. Now at 15 million masks a day
00:04:21.920 for a country of just 23 million people. We can all learn from Taiwan so much. But the World Health
00:04:28.300 Organization doesn't want to learn from Taiwan. They want to destroy Taiwan because Taiwan is a living
00:04:32.780 rebuke to China. An embarrassment to China. An antidote. An alternative to China. That's why Tedros hates
00:04:40.340 them and falsely smeared them as racist. And I tell you all that because look at who has actually been
00:04:46.380 engaging in anti-black racism. Why it's Tedros's bosses. China. Take a look at this.
00:04:53.660 Large number of African people in the southern Chinese city Guangzhou were driven out by their landlords and had
00:05:00.440 to stay on the streets. Another video shows many Africans dragging their luggage aimlessly through 0.99
00:05:06.440 the streets of Guangzhou. One of them says, we are just walking on the road. They can't give us a house.
00:05:12.180 They can't give us a hotel and they cannot provide a place we can stay. It comes after all of the cases
00:05:19.120 reported by Guangzhou authorities in April were reportedly related to African people. Chinese media
00:05:25.000 have only reported about testing people from abroad. They haven't talked about testing locals. So we
00:05:31.040 can't rule out the possibility that many of the locals are also infected, but it's not being reported.
00:05:36.840 It's led to discrimination against Africans among local Chinese. And take a look at this.
00:05:42.920 Huddled on cobbled streets with layers of clothing to generate heat under the cold skies of Guangzhou city.
00:05:48.080 This is the new way of life for Africans living in China. 1.00
00:05:54.360 The very colour of their skin now means trouble. Screaming of sickness to natives who bear a different 1.00
00:05:59.840 skin tone from them. Africans have become subjects of racial profiling. Chinese nationals blame them 0.99
00:06:05.240 for the rising number of new coronavirus cases in the country.
00:06:08.060 They didn't want me to enter the subway. I had even bought my ticket. That was 41. And by the time I was
00:06:17.580 going to to the subway, they stopped me. And then they told me that no foreigner is allowed. And I was
00:06:24.620 like, why? This is a subway. They say, then they say that that is the rule. Then who am I to argue with the locals? I complied.
00:06:33.820 And would you take a look at this from a McDonald's restaurant?
00:06:39.100 China, which exported the coronavirus to the world, which infected the world, which is killing 1.00
00:07:03.820 the world. China, which banned flights from Wuhan to Beijing and Shanghai, but didn't ban flights
00:07:09.180 from Wuhan to Canada or America or Italy or Spain or England. That China, the China that lied about how 0.99
00:07:15.520 infectious the virus is, that China is now blaming other people for spreading their virus. The same 0.97
00:07:22.460 China that scolded the West as racist and xenophobic for its flight bans. That same China is now engaging in 0.59
00:07:28.600 xenophobia, but not against a particular geographic region and not against people who are actually infected.
00:07:35.880 Both of those choices might actually be justified. But China is just blaming anyone who is black. 0.65
00:07:43.020 Just pure racism. Now, many of these people are Nigerian citizens. Apparently, they're cheap laborers in China. 0.99
00:07:50.200 Think about that for a moment. China is colonizing Africa. So these are Nigerian people. Of course, China would never 0.99
00:07:56.920 let them become actual Chinese citizens. That's unthinkable. And apparently, China won't even allow 1.00
00:08:02.280 them to have apartments now. They're being kicked out of their own apartments. So Nigeria has taken 0.99
00:08:07.300 notice. Here's a Nigerian diplomat challenging Chinese authorities on the ground in China.
00:08:12.380 One person's case is acceptable by us. Another person's case is acceptable by us. Another person's case,
00:08:17.740 you can't communicate with us. That you are going to do another person's case after person's case.
00:08:22.760 They have tested negative and then they have given them the paper. Why are they giving them another person's case?
00:08:30.140 That's the one. Two, all the police, the documents, this passport belongs to the federal government of Nigeria.
00:08:40.240 In line with international parties, no any country have the right to seek the international passport
00:08:48.880 .
00:08:55.880 I'll just withdraw it from there. I know, you have them.
00:08:59.480 I'll just withdraw it from there. They seize it. I know, you have them.
00:09:01.980 I say they seize it. And then you know, your deputy, you are, you have them in Nigeria.
00:09:04.480 All the pastors of Nigeria, they seize. Ask me. It was released yesterday.
00:09:10.480 Why are they stealing Nigeria passport? It does belong to the same.
00:09:14.680 If you see a Nigerian pastor, it's like you are seeing Nigeria as a whole.
00:09:19.680 It's not acceptable. That's another thing.
00:09:23.680 The third one I'm going to tell you, you didn't communicate to us,
00:09:28.680 that you are going to go to all the Nigerian houses, 0.94
00:09:32.680 and then you are going to ask them to come out, and go and corrupt them.
00:09:37.680 Did you communicate to us? No. Nobody communicated to us.
00:09:42.680 If you want to do your policy on 14 days, shut down.
00:09:47.680 Everybody, don't discriminate.
00:09:51.680 Everybody you sit at home,
00:09:55.680 everybody, including Chinese, including Nigeria, including everybody, including you as the director.
00:10:02.680 Everybody you sit at home.
00:10:05.680 That is exactly what the Nigerian did. 1.00
00:10:08.680 Really? Yes. So you can't do something work? No, no work.
00:10:11.680 Nigeria shut everything down. Nobody move. 1.00
00:10:16.680 We didn't say only the Nigerians to be going to the world.
00:10:21.680 Why the Chinese quarantine? No.
00:10:24.680 Everybody but the seat at home. I can show you the proof.
00:10:30.680 And here's a Nigerian diplomat in Nigeria calling in a Chinese diplomat for a bit of a scolding.
00:10:37.680 You said you haven't seen any of the videos that are out there.
00:10:40.680 I'm at liberty to show them to you. Everybody has them on their phone.
00:10:43.680 If you want, if that will convince you.
00:10:45.680 Because you said you haven't had an official complaint.
00:10:47.680 You know what our government, including those of us here.
00:10:53.680 The resistance. The resistance we put up just to allow your medical personnel to come in a couple of days ago.
00:11:02.680 Nigerians were worried for good reason because we have this virus out there. 1.00
00:11:10.680 And we're almost undiplomatic the way I'm talking. But it's because I'm actually upset about what's going on.
00:11:17.680 So, I mean, I'm not sure how you want to address this.
00:11:23.680 Have you spoken to your Nigerian counterpart in China? Have you spoken to the Nigerian ambassador in China?
00:11:31.680 No, no, no. You haven't? No, no.
00:11:33.680 Not on this issue. Not on this issue.
00:11:36.680 I'm talking about this issue.
00:11:38.680 Have you spoken to any official Chinese or the Chinese government in China?
00:11:43.680 Oh, definitely. We have to, like I promised, the fire minister. We take the very...
00:11:48.680 No, no, but you have not. No, no, we have not.
00:11:51.680 You spoke to the Chinese government.
00:11:53.680 We're still waiting for the...
00:11:55.680 Because we are here. We don't get the picture, the whole picture.
00:11:59.680 So, but we have to report the concern from the rather honorable speaker and the minister.
00:12:06.680 We take it very seriously.
00:12:07.680 Yeah, we have to be pleased by Monday.
00:12:10.680 So this was heating up quickly over the weekend, and China knew it had to reply formally.
00:12:15.680 And so they did with a formal statement confirming their racism, justifying it and promising to continue it.
00:12:23.680 And so confident are the Chinese dictators that they will get away with it. 0.85
00:12:27.680 They actually published their views in English and promoted them to the West through their propaganda outlets.
00:12:33.680 They're not ashamed of their racism.
00:12:35.680 They want the world to know about it.
00:12:37.680 It's a dare. Are you really going to do something about it?
00:12:39.680 I dare you. You and what army?
00:12:41.680 Here, here's the Global Times, which is a Chinese Communist Party propaganda outlet in English language focused on China's foreign policy.
00:12:49.680 It's one of the ways the Chinese Communist Party speaks to the world.
00:12:53.680 Chinese Foreign Minister spokesperson's remarks on Guangdong's anti-epidemic measures concerning African citizens in China.
00:13:02.680 Hey, let me read it a bit.
00:13:04.680 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Sunday made remarks on Guangdong's anti-epidemic measures concerning African citizens in China.
00:13:13.680 The remarks were as follows.
00:13:15.680 Faced with COVID-19 and abrupt global public health crisis, all countries are taking containment measures to prevent it from further spreading.
00:13:23.680 China has achieved remarkable progress at this stage thanks to our most comprehensive, rigorous and thorough measures.
00:13:29.680 But we are still facing great risks of imported cases and domestic resurgence, particularly as the pandemic spreads all over the world.
00:13:36.680 Imported cases are causing mounted pressure.
00:13:40.680 Boy, they're proud of themselves, aren't they?
00:13:43.680 They're the heroes in their own story, by the way.
00:13:46.680 They're not the cause of the virus.
00:13:48.680 No, no, no.
00:13:49.680 They're not the spreaders of the virus.
00:13:50.680 They are the victims and the heroes.
00:13:53.680 It's foreigners bringing the virus to China who are to blame. 1.00
00:13:56.680 You can't make this stuff up, people.
00:13:58.680 Now, the next paragraph is even grosser.
00:14:00.680 I won't read it all.
00:14:01.680 It's just so long and so self-serving.
00:14:04.680 And you notice that they haven't said a word yet about their no blacks welcome approach.
00:14:09.680 Their little attempt to bring in apartheid, you might say.
00:14:13.680 Let me read.
00:14:14.680 China and Africa are good friends, partners, and brothers.
00:14:18.680 Our friendship is forged on the basis of joint efforts to seek national independence, liberation, economic development, and better livelihood in the past decades.
00:14:27.680 Such time-tested friendship is a treasure for both Chinese and African people.
00:14:32.680 Humanity shines through the darkness of the epidemic.
00:14:35.680 It goes on for so much longer.
00:14:37.680 And not a word yet about them rounding up black people in the streets. 0.85
00:14:42.680 And then they just deny it.
00:14:45.680 They just say your eyes are lying.
00:14:48.680 No one's being treated differently.
00:14:49.680 No one's being rounded up.
00:14:50.680 Are you crazy?
00:14:51.680 You're probably one of those imaginary Taiwanese racists that Tedros was talking about.
00:14:56.680 You're the racist for challenging China. 0.96
00:15:00.680 All foreigners are treated equally.
00:15:02.680 We reject differential treatment, and we have zero tolerance for discrimination.
00:15:06.680 Do you believe that?
00:15:07.680 Since the outbreak, the authorities in Guangdong attach high importance to the treatment of foreign patients, including African nationals.
00:15:14.680 Specific plans and proper arrangements are made to protect their life and health to the best of our ability,
00:15:19.680 thanks to which we are able to save the lives of some African patients in severe or critical conditions.
00:15:25.680 I think the problem might be they just care too much if you listen to them.
00:15:30.680 That's the problem, people.
00:15:32.680 Don't you see that?
00:15:33.680 Look at all that caring there.
00:15:35.680 So let me translate from the Chinese government to plain English.
00:15:39.680 We have specific plans for you people, and you'll thank us for it.
00:15:44.680 And if you think we're discriminating, well, you're wrong.
00:15:48.680 Okay, we're discriminating, but it's for your own good or something like that.
00:15:51.680 They're not really very good at this, at least by our standards of woke, canceled culture in the West.
00:15:57.680 It's good enough baffle gab for the Chinese media.
00:15:59.680 They're all controlled propagandists.
00:16:01.680 I don't think it's going to be persuasive in Africa, frankly.
00:16:04.680 I think a billion-plus Africans will just watch those cell phone videos and know in an instant what's happening.
00:16:11.680 They won't parse that weird diplomat-speak and lies in unreadable editorials and ambassadorial statements.
00:16:17.680 China's reputation around the world will continue to fall to bring it properly into line with its real misconduct. 1.00
00:16:24.680 But I can't help but noticing, where are the Black Lives Matter types? 0.97
00:16:31.680 In America, in Canada, in the U.S. Congress, at the U.N., anywhere, really?
00:16:36.680 Where's Ilhan Omar, who has called her adopted country, America, racist, even though it has given her everything?
00:16:42.680 Why is she silent on this?
00:16:45.680 Where's the rest of her squad? 0.72
00:16:47.680 Where are the anti-racism fundraisers and hucksters, the people at the Southern Poverty Law Center, at the ADL?
00:16:54.680 Where's the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN?
00:16:57.680 Where's Canada's CBC state broadcaster?
00:16:59.680 Where's Trudeau himself?
00:17:01.680 Just kidding.
00:17:03.680 He's too busy breaking the quarantine, out and about with his estranged wife and their kids,
00:17:09.680 going across the provincial line, as he told you not to do,
00:17:12.680 having a blast, bragging about it on social media.
00:17:15.680 Look at us! Look at us!
00:17:18.680 Yeah, we are, mate.
00:17:20.680 Stay with us for more.
00:17:34.680 Well, Chris Cuomo, as you know, is a CNN anchor,
00:17:38.680 and his brother happens to be the governor of New York State.
00:17:42.680 The two of them have had quite a banter recently,
00:17:45.680 and one of the subjects that they talked about was Chris saying he had come down with a case of coronavirus.
00:17:53.680 He said it was awful, but thankfully he recovered very quickly,
00:17:57.680 and lucky for him, had something to talk about every day on the show,
00:18:01.680 including appearing with a cameo appearance on his brother, the governor's press conference.
00:18:08.680 It was quite something.
00:18:10.680 And the other day, Chris brought on CNN's in-house doctor, their expert on all things medical,
00:18:19.680 to look over Chris Cuomo's chest x-rays.
00:18:22.680 Well, that sounded like a good idea.
00:18:24.680 Let me show you a clip from how that went.
00:18:27.680 When I saw that x-ray that I showed to people earlier, the second I looked at it, I saw infiltrate on it,
00:18:36.680 even though I don't know what infiltrate even means, except as a verb.
00:18:40.680 And I was in a panic as soon as I saw it.
00:18:43.680 So Sanjay, a lot of people now, you know, God love them.
00:18:46.680 People have been so good and supportive.
00:18:47.680 They're seeing the x-rays and they're saying, holy cow, you're really sick.
00:18:50.680 I see the infiltrate in there.
00:18:52.680 Will you explain to people how having some infiltrate doesn't mean that you're necessarily in a bad way?
00:19:00.680 Yeah, right.
00:19:01.680 I mean, you know, infiltrate, you know, for the purposes of diagnosing this usually means,
00:19:07.680 and we can put up the x-ray again.
00:19:08.680 I can show you, you know, that first x-ray, you're sort of looking at this.
00:19:11.680 You're looking at the chest from the front.
00:19:13.680 You're looking at straight, yep, there it is.
00:19:15.680 So, you know, that's the right lung and the left lung.
00:19:18.680 And the black areas are the air-filled spaces in your lungs.
00:19:22.680 You're looking in those areas, sort of those sharp edges at the bottom of each lung.
00:19:27.680 You want to make sure they stay sharp, that you don't get fluid that's sort of accumulating in that area.
00:19:32.680 Again, you know, it's a little bit hard to tell on television there.
00:19:35.680 It is a little bit hazy in some of those areas in the more center of your lungs.
00:19:39.680 So, maybe a little bit of infiltrate in that area, but not significant.
00:19:43.680 Nothing that's sort of accumulated there, Chris.
00:19:46.680 But, you know, you'd look at that and you'd say,
00:19:47.680 maybe this is somebody who's dealing with a little bit of a respiratory infection.
00:19:51.680 So, you know, and then, of course, the other x-ray that you showed was looking at the same,
00:19:56.680 obviously, picture just from the side and sort of confirms the same thing.
00:20:00.680 Right.
00:20:01.680 There it is there.
00:20:02.680 So, again, the spine is right in the middle.
00:20:04.680 So, that's why it looks like that.
00:20:05.680 Yeah.
00:20:06.680 Yeah.
00:20:07.680 Exactly.
00:20:08.680 You can be sick.
00:20:09.680 It doesn't mean you're going to have pneumonia.
00:20:11.680 And I just want people to feel okay about that.
00:20:13.680 If I'm okay with it, you should be okay with it.
00:20:15.680 And what I want to do is I want to take a quick break and I want to talk about where we all...
00:20:19.680 Well, that's Chris Cuomo, who looks in fine health there.
00:20:23.680 Thank goodness he was saved.
00:20:25.680 And that's CNN's official doctor saying, yes, I can see the infiltrate.
00:20:29.680 Luckily, you're not dead.
00:20:32.680 Now, in response to that video, I saw a lot of people online saying, I'm a radiologist and, yeah, no, there ain't nothing there.
00:20:41.680 Commenter after commenter saying that, and I thought, well, I don't know who's right.
00:20:45.680 These are just online people.
00:20:47.680 They're faking being a radiologist.
00:20:50.680 The CNN's house doctor didn't have right in front of him access to the x-rays.
00:20:56.680 Maybe he was just making it up to go along with the narrative.
00:20:59.680 But I happen to know a radiologist, my own father, Dr. Marvin Levant.
00:21:04.680 He's retired now, but for 40 years, he looked at x-rays, hundreds of thousands of them over the course of his career.
00:21:12.680 And I sent him that video there and said, Dad, can I ask you about Andrew Cuomo's x-rays?
00:21:20.680 And I'm pleased to say my father, Marvin Levant, joins us now via Skype from Calgary.
00:21:26.680 Hi, Dad. How you doing?
00:21:27.680 Hi, Ed. Good to speak with you.
00:21:30.680 Thank you.
00:21:31.680 Now, I watched that, and I don't want to say that Chris Cuomo's a liar.
00:21:35.680 He said he had coronavirus.
00:21:37.680 I don't think he missed a day of work.
00:21:39.680 He looks very healthy to me.
00:21:40.680 Maybe he's just a very fit man and had a very slight case.
00:21:44.680 But he certainly is milking it day after day.
00:21:47.680 He brought those x-rays on the show, and CNN's in-house doctor said, oh, yeah, I can see the infiltrate there.
00:21:54.680 Can you start off by telling us what is infiltrate?
00:21:57.680 I've honestly never heard that word before in a medical setting.
00:22:00.680 What does it mean?
00:22:01.680 First of all, he's a better radiologist than I, because it took him one second to realize that there was an infiltrate.
00:22:09.680 I studied it in some detail, and I would have asked for one more view of the chest.
00:22:15.680 It's called an apical lordotic, A-P-I-C-A-L, and then lordotic, just to confirm that the apex of the right lung is free of any disease.
00:22:26.680 As for an infiltrate, it means nothing.
00:22:29.680 An infiltrate, it covers pretty well the whole span of involvement of the lungs with the exception of major tumors and fluid.
00:22:38.680 So calling it normal on what you saw on CNN, which in Calgary stands for certainly not news, is reasonable.
00:22:50.680 But I personally would have asked for one more view to confirm that it is a normal chest x-ray.
00:22:55.680 Okay.
00:22:56.680 So let me slow you down for a second.
00:22:58.680 So infiltrate, is that what you're saying?
00:23:00.680 That's just anything in the lungs that is not naturally that, like infiltrating.
00:23:05.680 So it could be fluid.
00:23:06.680 It could be anything that's not supposed to be there.
00:23:09.680 Is that what that means?
00:23:10.680 Right.
00:23:11.680 It could be most anything, with the exception of certain areas that we call the mediastinum.
00:23:17.680 That's the central part of the chest.
00:23:20.680 Okay.
00:23:21.680 Which...
00:23:22.680 What the CNN doctor was saying where he said, oh yeah, I can see a little bit of infiltrate
00:23:27.680 there.
00:23:28.680 Was he right?
00:23:29.680 Can you see some infiltrate there?
00:23:31.680 Or was Chris Cuomo right?
00:23:33.680 In those x-rays, I know you said you would have requested one more shot if you were the doctor
00:23:38.680 on the spot.
00:23:39.680 I would have given it an approval rating if the apical or daughter film was normal. 0.77
00:23:46.680 Okay, so what you saw there, let me be crystal clear because you're still using a bit of
00:23:51.680 jargon.
00:23:52.680 From the x-rays you saw, and it looks like they had a couple of different views there.
00:23:56.680 Is Chris Cuomo's x-ray that he showed on CNN, is that a healthy lung or not?
00:24:03.680 I would say that it is a healthy lung.
00:24:06.680 But I would want, for my own satisfaction, to confirm it with one more view.
00:24:13.680 Got it.
00:24:14.680 Perhaps he did have another view that he just wasn't showing.
00:24:17.680 I can imagine the CNN producer would say, well, all these look the same.
00:24:20.680 I'll just put up two of them.
00:24:21.680 So he may have had that.
00:24:22.680 And I'm not casting aspersions on the care he received.
00:24:25.680 But there you had Chris Cuomo and the CNN doctor both claiming that they could see that
00:24:30.680 infiltrate a mile away.
00:24:31.680 That's just not true, is it?
00:24:33.680 No, it's not true.
00:24:34.680 No, it's not true.
00:24:35.680 They could not.
00:24:36.680 I haven't studied it a bit longer, but they probably did.
00:24:42.680 We just wanted confirmation in one area was of no significance in the way of infiltration.
00:24:48.680 Infiltration does not mean tumor.
00:24:51.680 It does not mean infection.
00:24:53.680 It is an area that is not lung tissue or has been replaced by something else.
00:25:00.680 Got it.
00:25:01.680 All right.
00:25:02.680 Well, you've answered the question for me.
00:25:03.680 You've confirmed what these online radiologists said immediately, that Chris Cuomo was just
00:25:09.680 hemming things up a little bit.
00:25:11.680 And if he indeed had coronavirus, I don't blame him for making himself part of the story.
00:25:16.680 It's the biggest story of the year.
00:25:18.680 It's just a bit much that he's pretending to be a victim when he at least no longer is,
00:25:25.680 even if he once was.
00:25:26.680 Let me just ask you one quick question before you go.
00:25:28.680 Thanks very much for answering these questions.
00:25:30.680 I think you've confirmed my hunch.
00:25:32.680 In Calgary, I know you're retired now, but you still have friends in the medical system.
00:25:37.680 I've heard reports from around North America that the massive preparation, the shutting
00:25:44.680 down of non-essential elective surgeries, the rushing to hospitals of extra ventilators,
00:25:51.680 et cetera, that curve, that high demand has not yet happened.
00:25:58.680 That ICUs are in fact quite empty, that doctors and nurses are under-tasked.
00:26:05.680 I've seen reports like that around the country.
00:26:08.680 Do you have any reports from friends or former colleagues in hospitals in Alberta?
00:26:14.680 What's it like there?
00:26:16.680 I've heard of no extra pressure points.
00:26:21.680 The number of cases and the number of deaths is certainly within the range of the normal flu time of year.
00:26:31.680 These infections are no different than the standard spring flu.
00:26:37.680 In Canada, we had 3,500 deaths last year from the seasonal flu.
00:26:44.680 And this is roughly the same scale we're having now in Canada of coronavirus.
00:26:49.680 All right.
00:26:50.680 Well, listen, thanks so much for taking the time and lending your expertise.
00:26:54.680 And I have to look up a few of the fancier words that you said.
00:26:57.680 But I think on my main question, did Chris Cuomo see anything in his x-rays that was abnormal?
00:27:04.680 I think your answer was pretty clear and the answer was not in those x-rays.
00:27:08.680 He didn't.
00:27:09.680 Thanks so much for joining us today.
00:27:11.680 Good.
00:27:12.680 Cheers.
00:27:13.680 Well, there's my dad, Dr. Marvin Levant, joining us via Skype from Calgary.
00:27:17.680 Stay with us for more.
00:27:18.680 Hey, welcome back on the Screening Friday of the documentary Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus.
00:27:32.680 Barry writes,
00:27:33.680 Very pleased with your covering of the Epoch Times documentary.
00:27:36.680 The Epoch Times is the only broadsheet still worth reading.
00:27:39.680 Well, worth a subscription.
00:27:41.680 I subscribed to it over the weekend.
00:27:44.680 I have not paid for a subscription to a paper newspaper in more than a decade.
00:27:50.680 I mean, I get most of the things online anyways.
00:27:53.680 And I don't really want to support the Toronto Star or most newspapers.
00:27:59.680 I mean, there's some good things to read in each of them.
00:28:02.680 But I have to tell you, I joyfully subscribe to the Epoch Times.
00:28:07.680 Not only is it gorgeous, but it's editorially sound.
00:28:12.680 Unlike most of the mainstream media, they don't take a dime from the government, of course.
00:28:16.680 And they certainly don't take a dime from the Chinese government.
00:28:20.680 I like them.
00:28:22.680 Stu writes,
00:28:23.680 Ezra, it seems pretty clear at this stage that the CCP has been working for years
00:28:27.680 in order to develop a bioweapon using coronavirus.
00:28:30.680 I don't think that's in any doubt.
00:28:32.680 How could you doubt that?
00:28:33.680 I mean, it's run by the military.
00:28:37.680 They've discovered, as in they've harvested, 2,000 new viruses at their special lab there.
00:28:46.680 The entire rest of the world combined has only discovered 2,000 viruses in history.
00:28:51.680 China wants biowarfare. 0.94
00:28:54.680 Suzanne writes,
00:28:56.680 Thank you for your driving, unrelenting persistence to uncover all the cover-ups.
00:29:01.680 Well, that's nice of you to say.
00:29:02.680 I don't think I'm doing anything particularly special.
00:29:04.680 I'm just asking basic who, what, where, why, when questions.
00:29:07.680 And our team is too.
00:29:09.680 And our wings are clipped a little bit in terms of flying around.
00:29:13.680 But we're still going to where the news is.
00:29:15.680 I don't know if you saw on the weekend, our friend David Menzies went up to Bob Cage in Ontario,
00:29:19.680 where 31 people have died of the virus.
00:29:23.680 And most of it stems from one little senior's home.
00:29:26.680 That's 1% of the total population of Bob Cage.
00:29:29.680 And it's a very interesting video.
00:29:31.680 And you'll see they called the police on David.
00:29:34.680 That's a sign he's doing good journalism.
00:29:36.680 I encourage you to find that on our website.
00:29:38.680 All right, folks, that's the end of the show for today.
00:29:41.680 Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,
00:29:45.680 to you at home, good night, stay healthy, and keep fighting for freedom.
