Rebel News Podcast - DAILY ｜ Canada Day： Churches and Statues Vandalized and Burned

00:00:00.000 together.

00:00:04.700 You're listening to our latest podcast.

00:00:15.160 Hi, everybody. Ezra Levant here. How are you doing? It's great to see you again. We were off

00:00:18.760 yesterday. It was Canada Day. And I want to tell you that the loveliest Canada Day message I saw

00:00:26.420 was not from any Canadian. Certainly not from Justin Trudeau, who I think is ashamed of Canada.

00:00:33.440 It was from Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister. Did you see that, Justin?

00:00:41.220 I mean, I have my beefs with Boris Johnson. I have been terribly disappointed with him

00:00:47.740 on the pandemic and the lockdowns. I think he's been like he's a funny character. He's great

00:00:53.520 as a pundit. You know, he he wrote for many years in forget the Spectator, the Telegraph or

00:00:59.440 someplace like that. Like he's funny and he's quippy and he's got that crazy hair.

00:01:06.420 But he's a terrible manager. He's, I think, morally weak. He just goes one way or the other. 0.96

00:01:11.860 But he's so damn charming. That's why he has so many mistresses. That's why he manages to to win

00:01:24.480 elections. He was the mayor of London. He's the prime minister of the UK. It's his charm. What can

00:01:28.800 you say? He's a bit of an idiot. But when he has to be, you know, he's got a great command of the 1.00

00:01:35.700 English language and he can say beautiful things that suddenly make you hate him less. That's my

00:01:40.160 theory. He's a complete BSer. Like, remember when he talked about painting? Can you call

00:01:46.700 that one up next? I just want to I'll show you afterwards. Just Justin and I laughed so much

00:01:53.120 about this other clip I'm talking about. But yesterday he said something really beautiful

00:01:57.440 about Canada. Take a look. Let's play the whole thing. I'm delighted to join your celebration

00:02:04.640 of Canada Day. And on this occasion, words like friend and ally feel somehow inadequate.

00:02:11.140 Britain and Canada share so much and the affinity between us runs so deep that I prefer to think of

00:02:19.380 our two countries as not just friends, but as family. That's why we work hand in glove across the

00:02:25.700 world as a combined force for good. Canada is the only country that sits alongside the UK in the

00:02:32.300 G7, the G20, NATO, Commonwealth and the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance. In some capitals around

00:02:40.780 the world, our diplomats actually share the same embassy. All of this is entirely natural because

00:02:48.480 we cherish the same freedoms. We stand for the same ideals. And by and large, we believe in the same

00:02:56.960 causes. So let's work together even more intensively to build back better after COVID, protect our planet

00:03:04.580 from climate change, promote clean and green development across the world, achieve a fantastic

00:03:10.440 new free trade agreement as swiftly as possible. Make sure that we do that deal on cheese and stand up

00:03:16.500 for freedom, democracy and human rights wherever they're threatened. Thank you.

00:03:23.540 How nice was that? I thought, I mean, you don't often hear birthday wishes to include a reference to

00:03:32.660 cheese, but I guess it's a big deal. I'm irritated by his climate obsession, his wind turbine obsession.

00:03:43.360 But like I say, put that all aside. How are you not going to take that from a guy with messy hair

00:03:49.600 and a twinkle in his eye, speaking, you know, obviously a written script for him? But Justin,

00:03:56.720 does that not make you feel better? Does that, like that is just plain old nice. Tell you one thing,

00:04:02.720 that's more pro-Canada than I've heard from Justin Trudeau, or for that matter, Aaron O'Toole,

00:04:09.620 certainly more than Jagmeet Singh. So many people in Ottawa think that the new way to get ahead is to

00:04:15.520 hate Canada to actually cancel Canada. Cancel culture has moved from an obscure part of the

00:04:23.360 universities to the popular culture, and now even to government itself. You know that shot putter

00:04:32.080 in America? Did you see that? That woman who came? Can you put her image up there?

00:04:36.040 I mean, what's so brazen about that story is that she is on Team America. She's on the American

00:04:44.380 national team. It's not a black team or a white team or a left-handed team or a right-handed team.

00:04:51.100 What is the salient characteristic of Team America? It is American. So if you don't like America,

00:04:59.220 you should not try out to be on Team America. Maybe there's another country in the world you like

00:05:06.220 better. But I can't think, I mean, if I, you know, people who hate Canada, we talked about this on the

00:05:12.880 show the other day. A lot of people want to tear down Canada. A lot of people want to tear down America

00:05:18.280 and tear down the UK. To them, I say, okay, tell me where you'd rather be. Because it's not good enough

00:05:22.660 to say, well, I have this utopian idea, or we'll figure that out afterwards. No, no. You can't tear

00:05:28.660 something down without first knowing what you're going to build up. And if you are wearing green hair

00:05:39.080 and have pierced your whole self a hundred times over, and you're depressed, and you're living in

00:05:46.180 your parents' basement, and you're gender confused, and you're depressed, and your life is a total mess, 0.93

00:05:53.520 you may not quite be the person to figure out what this new utopia is. As Jordan Peterson says,

00:06:02.940 start by cleaning your own room. You want to fix the world? How about clean your own room?

00:06:08.160 How many woke, insane people want to rebuild the entire world, but can't get their own act together?

00:06:16.220 Am I right on that? Holy moly. Put that picture back up. Thank you for finding it. This is that American

00:06:21.500 shot putter. She hates America. She says she can't wait to win in the Olympics so she can 1.00

00:06:33.800 disparage America. The funny thing is, she started out, there's a twofer picture, there's a picture

00:06:41.180 that's on Twitter, don't worry if you can't find it. She used to love America. Her own website

00:06:46.740 has pictures of her holding the American flag. Those were older posts until she got some hate

00:06:53.640 sponsor. Seriously, she got a sponsorship that has encouraged her to hate America. And not only does

00:07:01.000 she do so, but she's changed her look. So she looks like some dystopian creature. Remember we looked at

00:07:13.740 that series of, I think the art world would call them, that's just a neutral picture. She looks

00:07:22.640 very sporty there. That's her website now, is it? Okay. She purged all the American flags from her,

00:07:30.940 her website until like two days ago, had a lot of American flags on. She forgot to purge them

00:07:36.000 when she started dissing America. Why are you on activist athlete? So that's her thing. Not best 1.00

00:07:41.560 athlete. Activist athlete. I guess she's getting on that gravy train. Can you type in a Portuguese 0.99

00:07:48.860 word in Twitter for me? Antes, A-N-T-E-S, that means before. A de pois. Antes, A-E-T-D-E-P-O-I-S,

00:07:59.920 I think. I'm going, I don't know Portuguese. That means before and after. And in the art world,

00:08:07.420 there's a diptych. It's two, two pieces of art that you display together. They're part of a theme.

00:08:13.720 There was this Twitter account. It's probably taken down for being too mean. It was called

00:08:18.020 Antes et Dubois. It was photos of beautiful young people in Brazil from every background. And if you

00:08:26.400 know anything about Brazil, you know, it's a very multiracial place. You have indigenous,

00:08:31.840 you know, the original peoples of South America. You have descendants of slaves who are freed. You

00:08:41.860 have descendants of the Spanish and Portuguese. Obviously, it's a Portuguese speaking place.

00:08:47.620 You have migrants. It is a very rich, it's a fascinating place. I've never been, I should

00:08:53.220 tell you. I want to go. So you have these beautiful people of every background. They're like 17,

00:08:58.660 18, 18, whatever. And then they go to this state university in Brazil and they come out

00:09:04.940 crazy dystopian. Can you find there's nothing showing up? You know what? I bet it's being

00:09:13.880 just any, all it is, is a series of the day they started this university, how beautiful they look,

00:09:19.800 the boys and the girls full of promise. And then like afterwards, how insane they are,

00:09:26.400 how weaponized they are against themselves. Just, it's a shame. It's a shame. It makes no sense.

00:09:35.480 But if you want to be on Team America, then you should be on Team America. If you hate America,

00:09:39.880 why, why did you try so hard to get on the team? Why did you elbow out everyone else who wants to be

00:09:44.300 on the American team? If you hate the American team, that's the thing about the Olympics. It's not,

00:09:48.200 it's not like the NFL, which is a bunch of different teams and they represent different regions or

00:09:54.040 different, whatever. Team America is, you're representing America against the other teams

00:09:59.120 in the world. It's so essentially American. And if that's what you hate, don't go.

00:10:03.580 Anyways. So it was Canada Day. I think Trudeau actually is like one of these, actually,

00:10:20.780 I don't think Trudeau means it. I think Trudeau loves the privileges and the riches and the luxuries

00:10:28.100 and the power that come from Canada for him. I think, though, he sees the benefit in stirring up

00:10:35.820 racial dissent. You know, I just tweeted two moments ago. Can you look at my tweet from two

00:10:42.980 moments ago? I just went online and I checked. You know how many boil water advisories there are

00:10:52.580 in Canada right now? Take a guess. 51. There are 51 boil water advisories. Trudeau is fomenting racial

00:11:20.860 division in Canada to distract from his own failures. He promised to end drinking water

00:11:25.340 advisories on Indian reserves by 2021. In fact, there are 51 boil water advisories on reserves,

00:11:31.540 13 new ones last year and four new ones this year already.

00:11:38.480 That's, you know what? I should have attached that to when those grassy, grassy narrows reserve

00:11:45.480 have mercury poisoning. And they came to his speech and he said, thank you for your donation.

00:11:51.040 So if you were Justin Trudeau, it's hard doing real things. It's hard negotiating for vaccines

00:11:57.580 against 200 other countries in the world. It's hard fixing drinking water in a northern reserve

00:12:06.140 with very poor infrastructure. Those are hard things that you probably need some real world skill.

00:12:13.320 And you can't just give a TED talk speech and make that heart symbol and

00:12:19.340 and then collect a speaking fee. Like Trudeau's whole life was show up, say some nice words,

00:12:28.120 make that heart symbol and grab a check and go. He's never had a protracted problem that he had.

00:12:35.640 He couldn't run away from or delegate. Who are you going to delegate?

00:12:40.880 Buying vaccines, bidding against Donald Trump, as it was at the time and and Vladimir Putin or whatever.

00:12:50.700 So if you're Justin Trudeau, do you really want to solve Indian problems?

00:12:55.420 Maybe you actually do, but you've got no clue how.

00:12:58.000 I mean, you got that little tattoo on your shoulder. Wasn't that enough?

00:13:02.460 Hey, hey, guys, I got the I have the Aboriginal tattoo on my shoulder.

00:13:06.420 Isn't that enough to get me out of this mess?

00:13:08.140 What, there's still 51 drinking water advisories?

00:13:15.400 Um, yeah.

00:13:16.660 So, um, I think he's loving it. Now, I'm going to do my whole show on this tonight,

00:13:25.960 but I want to show you what happened. The Manitoba legislature yesterday on Canada Day.

00:13:32.300 So the Manitoba legislature is what you think it is. It's the seat of power.

00:13:38.440 Winnipeg is the largest city. It's the capital city.

00:13:40.880 It's by far the most dominant place and powerful place in all of Manitoba.

00:13:45.420 It's where Brian Pallister has his office, of course.

00:13:48.980 And there's statues there of Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth.

00:13:52.640 And both were torn down, not in the dead of night, not secretly,

00:13:57.400 but rather in the middle of the day, on Canada Day,

00:14:00.240 with dozens of police standing by and watching. Take a look.

00:14:02.880 Yeah. Um, so there's lots of different shots from different angles.

00:14:18.960 These people were not, yeah, look at that.

00:14:24.220 I think those are two different statues, right?

00:14:27.000 I think the first was Queen Elizabeth. I think the second was Queen Victoria.

00:14:30.220 Yeah.

00:14:32.880 Um, I saw a report on the CBC. The headline was,

00:14:37.420 One Arrested. I thought, oh, they arrested one person. That's odd.

00:14:41.540 There was a couple dozen people involved. And then I saw, you want to call it the CBC story?

00:14:47.400 Um, the guy who was arrested, if I'm reading the news right, was a counter-protester.

00:14:54.180 So apparently, and again, the details were sort of sketchy,

00:14:57.400 one guy showed up, two statues of Queens, top of the Manitoba legislature.

00:15:03.800 And then, um, can you find the word stun?

00:15:08.340 Like, uh, use that search, um, there we go.

00:15:15.160 At one point after the Queen Victoria statue was pulled down,

00:15:20.060 police shocked a man with a stun gun and arrested him while others lobbed objects their way and yelled profanities.

00:15:28.900 The circumstances of the arrest remained unclear.

00:15:31.660 The crowd on the grounds was largely, largely peaceful, um, prior to the man's arrest,

00:15:37.340 in which police pushed a throng back to take him into custody.

00:15:42.120 Uh, I'm sorry. It was another report I read, but it had the same general information.

00:15:46.120 I think that guy was a counter-protester.

00:15:49.160 That's why police had to push the crowd back.

00:15:52.620 They took the one counter-protester out, and it sounds like they tasered him.

00:15:58.880 Um, there's a picture, I don't know if it was in that CBC story or another one,

00:16:04.720 um, of dozens of police.

00:16:11.080 Like, tons of police.

00:16:12.840 There were a lot, yeah, there you go.

00:16:16.440 Look at that, just right there.

00:16:17.400 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

00:16:21.140 There's, there's ten foot cops right in that little area. 1.00

00:16:25.200 I'm guessing that's the guy they, they tasered.

00:16:35.200 They didn't stop the statues from coming down.

00:16:37.920 So, Broaddale, and, and look at the, the brazen confidence of,

00:16:42.920 now those are just a few people standing there.

00:16:46.040 I don't know if those ones pulled them down, but no one was shy.

00:16:49.420 No one was covering their face.

00:16:51.180 They were pulling it down.

00:16:52.520 Do you have that clip of Trudeau that we used with Drea the other day,

00:16:59.120 where the 16th second one, so, so besides tearing down statues,

00:17:05.080 what, did you really think it would stop with John A. MacDonald?

00:17:08.840 Did you really think it would stop with city halls tearing down statues?

00:17:12.840 If city halls and universities and provinces can tear down statues,

00:17:18.640 why can't a mob?

00:17:22.460 Not a word against this from, from so many different authorities.

00:17:26.980 Why would there be?

00:17:28.320 They don't want the mob to come for them next.

00:17:32.120 So, tearing down statues is terrible.

00:17:34.640 It's a crime.

00:17:35.240 It's the symbolism that they want to tear down everything those statues represent.

00:17:42.020 What does Queen Elizabeth represent?

00:17:44.020 She represents the entire establishment, the entire structure of our society.

00:17:50.700 Churches are even, it's even worse to go after the churches.

00:17:53.620 So many churches torched.

00:17:55.740 I think we're up to about 20 churches in Canada,

00:17:58.400 either torched or vandalized in other ways.

00:18:03.220 Finally, Trudeau was asked about it.

00:18:04.820 Now, I timed this.

00:18:07.380 He talks about it for 16 seconds,

00:18:10.820 the first 10 of which is,

00:18:12.580 I'd like to say something about the,

00:18:15.180 so the first 10 is sort of pre,

00:18:16.620 he literally spends six seconds on the substance

00:18:19.640 of these churches being torched.

00:18:21.860 Take a listen.

00:18:23.360 I also want to talk about the arson and vandalism

00:18:26.140 we're seeing across the country

00:18:27.540 targeted at Catholic churches.

00:18:30.220 This is not the way to go.

00:18:32.380 The destruction of places of worship is unacceptable and it must stop.

00:18:38.380 We must work together to right past wrongs.

00:18:42.500 everyone has the role to play,

00:18:45.180 not just institutions and organizations,

00:18:48.960 but all Canadians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

00:18:52.220 Hey, Justin,

00:18:54.680 thanks very much for telling me I've got a role to play.

00:18:57.780 What's my role to play in those 51 drinking water advisories?

00:19:03.160 Like I say,

00:19:04.200 13 new ones last year,

00:19:09.100 four new ones this year already.

00:19:10.740 Uh,

00:19:11.880 what's my role to play in that,

00:19:13.420 Justin?

00:19:14.580 But my favorite is separate.

00:19:16.540 This is not the way to go.

00:19:18.480 Wow.

00:19:19.520 Woo.

00:19:20.060 You showed them,

00:19:21.800 you showed them,

00:19:23.100 Hey guy,

00:19:23.840 it's,

00:19:24.160 that sounds like something,

00:19:25.560 uh,

00:19:26.300 that the dude in the great,

00:19:28.840 uh,

00:19:29.140 the great,

00:19:29.520 the big Lebowski.

00:19:30.540 Did you ever see that movie?

00:19:31.480 The big Lebowski? 0.96

00:19:32.380 I saw that the other day.

00:19:33.900 That's a funny one.

00:19:37.740 Very quirky.

00:19:38.900 Jeff Bridges.

00:19:39.640 Is that who that is?

00:19:40.660 Very quirky show.

00:19:42.620 See,

00:19:42.860 Philip Seymour Hoffman in there too.

00:19:44.340 Does a good job.

00:19:46.760 Actually,

00:19:47.280 lots of great performances in that one.

00:19:49.200 Steve Buscemi,

00:19:49.940 I think is in that.

00:19:51.060 I'm not mistaken.

00:19:54.340 Dude,

00:19:55.000 this is not the way to go,

00:19:56.900 man.

00:19:58.800 Oh,

00:19:59.240 that'll stop them.

00:19:59.920 I see a super chap juice moose.

00:20:03.900 They can find 2 billion a year to give to China,

00:20:05.800 but can't scrape together 200 mil to hire engineers to go fix the water

00:20:09.300 problems they and previous governments caused by making natives dependent

00:20:12.220 on the federal government.

00:20:14.460 Look,

00:20:14.900 I don't know a lot about,

00:20:15.920 um,

00:20:16.780 drinking water.

00:20:17.780 I just don't,

00:20:18.880 but,

00:20:20.140 um,

00:20:21.480 they've had six years.

00:20:23.460 And last year,

00:20:25.240 I want to let you know that drinking water advisories,

00:20:28.120 some are fixed and new problems arise.

00:20:30.900 Last year,

00:20:31.620 we lost ground in Canada.

00:20:33.060 The number went up.

00:20:33.880 The net number went up.

00:20:35.220 Why?

00:20:37.800 How can there be new ones?

00:20:41.020 Look,

00:20:41.280 the amount of money sloshing around.

00:20:43.880 Why can't you,

00:20:44.580 why can't you drill it?

00:20:45.680 Drill a well.

00:20:46.520 Drill a well.

00:20:46.900 I don't know.

00:20:48.560 It's just shocking to me.

00:20:50.700 And how does a boil water advisory help the problem when it's mercury in the water?

00:20:54.940 I don't think that's fixed by boiling.

00:20:59.620 Super U sojourner,

00:21:00.840 you only get arrested for protesting in Manitoba if it's not against the lockdowns.

00:21:05.820 If it's not against the lockdowns.

00:21:08.580 I think you,

00:21:09.520 you mean if it is against the lockdowns.

00:21:13.440 Um,

00:21:13.620 yeah,

00:21:13.880 I mean,

00:21:14.280 Maxime Bernier was arrested in Manitoba for peacefully talking to supporters.

00:21:19.740 That's the leader of a national political party arrested.

00:21:24.540 But you have a hundred people pulled down some statues.

00:21:27.220 Police will help you.

00:21:28.280 They'll taser the guy who's opposed to you.

00:21:32.440 Um,

00:21:33.320 yeah,

00:21:35.420 very,

00:21:35.800 very bad.

00:21:39.040 Our own Drea Humphrey and Matt Brevner went to some of these churches in rural BC,

00:21:45.700 not rural,

00:21:46.280 but,

00:21:46.560 um,

00:21:47.060 the interior BC.

00:21:48.040 And,

00:21:50.000 uh,

00:21:50.160 talked to a number of people in the community.

00:21:52.900 Uh,

00:21:53.180 do we have any clips from that or do you just have the whole thing?

00:21:55.620 Cause it's a long,

00:21:56.280 you know,

00:21:58.220 there's this one guy they talked to who says how much he loved the church.

00:22:01.260 I just thought it was really touching.

00:22:02.860 Maybe it's in the cold open.

00:22:04.460 I can't recall.

00:22:06.120 Let's just take a look.

00:22:06.960 You know,

00:22:07.160 she went there and if I've,

00:22:08.880 I've watched this video a few times,

00:22:10.860 different versions of it.

00:22:11.780 And,

00:22:14.100 um,

00:22:15.480 if I recall,

00:22:17.120 there's only one person that Drea interviewed that supports the arson.

00:22:22.360 And it's some,

00:22:23.200 oh my God,

00:22:24.900 is she straight out of central casting for your middle-aged woke white woman? 1.00

00:22:29.200 And I'm sure her name is Karen.

00:22:30.800 Sorry to all the Karens out there who says, 0.99

00:22:33.700 yeah,

00:22:34.080 I think those arsons are justified.

00:22:36.360 And she literally says,

00:22:37.560 oh,

00:22:37.820 you know,

00:22:38.300 I can say that because like my brother-in-law is,

00:22:42.000 uh,

00:22:42.520 is Indian.

00:22:43.380 So,

00:22:44.200 um, 0.97

00:22:45.020 I can totally say I'm for burning these churches down.

00:22:48.140 Not your own church,

00:22:49.280 eh,

00:22:49.440 lady?

00:22:50.120 So you're willing,

00:22:51.360 if,

00:22:51.940 if a local Indian band is going to have its church and community center burned down

00:22:56.040 and you go back to your white suburbs, 0.57

00:22:59.020 well,

00:22:59.800 that's a price you're willing to pay for them. 0.97

00:23:01.960 It's just so gross.

00:23:02.980 The only person who was in support of the, 0.99

00:23:04.640 the arson was some white woman. 1.00

00:23:06.920 Take a look. 0.96

00:23:07.740 Because my mama gave me,

00:23:09.820 I loved that church.

00:23:13.140 I loved it. 0.99

00:23:15.020 And I don't like seeing it all pile of crap. 0.98

00:23:19.840 I hope they rebuild or do something. 0.98

00:23:24.020 Man,

00:23:24.520 everyone got married and buried in that church.

00:23:27.720 Everybody.

00:23:30.000 It's from my grandpa's to my uncles and aunts.

00:23:37.380 That was a good place for me.

00:23:40.580 My thoughts is that it has to do with the Kamloops residential school.

00:23:45.020 children that were murdered.

00:23:46.340 So,

00:23:46.700 and I made a comment about that on Twitter.

00:23:49.260 And so that's what I feel has happened here is my guess.

00:23:53.300 Did you hear that the children?

00:23:55.220 And she goes on to say,

00:23:56.360 she supports,

00:23:56.940 I just wanted to interrupt because you heard her say murdered,

00:24:00.100 right?

00:24:01.820 But there's no allegation that they were murdered.

00:24:05.180 It's not a mass grave.

00:24:06.500 The allegation is that it's a cemetery where the graves are not properly marked.

00:24:12.520 Graves have fallen into disrepair or whatnot,

00:24:14.660 which sometimes happens in cemeteries.

00:24:18.100 By the way,

00:24:18.880 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission,

00:24:20.680 which studied this matter in great depth,

00:24:23.220 estimated that there are thousands of these grave sites,

00:24:29.180 not graves sites,

00:24:29.700 thousands of graves.

00:24:31.340 And their estimate is that about 48% of the deaths were from tuberculosis,

00:24:36.600 which is a preventable disease.

00:24:38.660 But especially if you're talking about a hundred years ago,

00:24:42.300 life expectancy in Canada was 50,

00:24:45.800 almost 30 years less than it is now.

00:24:48.240 And for Aboriginal people,

00:24:49.320 it was lower.

00:24:51.900 These children were not murdered. 1.00

00:24:55.440 What a stupid woman. 1.00

00:24:59.300 Rumble, 1.00

00:24:59.740 chronic by 99,

00:25:00.700 the dictator never does anything.

00:25:02.060 He loves to tell us that we need to do better.

00:25:03.960 Yeah,

00:25:04.180 it's not the truth.

00:25:06.020 All right.

00:25:06.460 Well,

00:25:07.180 let's stop talking about the problems of Canada for a minute and talk about the

00:25:10.980 problems of Australia.

00:25:15.660 This is a video from Avi Yamini,

00:25:19.220 our Australian correspondent,

00:25:21.540 about a woman who has a mask exemption because she has asthma.

00:25:28.060 And she was on the train and she had an exemption.

00:25:33.420 And as you may know,

00:25:34.340 you don't have to prove your,

00:25:35.420 you don't have to show your exemption to anyone.

00:25:38.200 That law is common in Canada,

00:25:40.500 the UK,

00:25:41.080 Australia.

00:25:43.020 But these cops obviously were flustered.

00:25:46.220 They didn't know the law as well as she did.

00:25:48.680 And they were two big burly cops and she's a young woman.

00:25:52.800 And I guess that offended their masculinity or something.

00:25:55.860 So look what they did.

00:25:57.420 There's a young woman on a train in Australia who has a mask exemption,

00:26:00.760 but these two thug cops don't know what to do about it.

00:26:03.880 So they panic. 0.84

00:26:04.820 Take a look.

00:26:05.280 You can't travel on a train.

00:26:07.020 I can travel on a train.

00:26:08.100 I have an exemption.

00:26:10.000 Come with me.

00:26:10.780 Excuse me.

00:26:11.940 That is my bag. 1.00

00:26:13.500 Give me my fucking bag. 0.99

00:26:15.060 I'm going to take your bag outside the railway station. 1.00

00:26:17.980 So keep filming.

00:26:18.740 Do you feel like a really big man?

00:26:21.120 Do you feel like a big man?

00:26:22.980 You've just taken a young girl's bag off her because she won't present a mask exemption to you.

00:26:28.200 My immediate emotional response was,

00:26:31.040 no,

00:26:31.380 that's my,

00:26:31.900 that's my property.

00:26:32.820 What you've done is wrong.

00:26:33.740 You can't even have my property.

00:26:35.580 This is just going too far.

00:26:36.940 And I was just so overwhelmed.

00:26:38.580 Like the emotion,

00:26:39.680 it was just intense.

00:26:40.800 The video you're about to watch is probably one of the most egregious abuses of police power in New South Wales in the name of COVID so far.

00:26:49.920 You need to watch it from beginning to end.

00:26:51.340 Hear the breakdown from a lawyer and then share it far and wide because the mainstream media,

00:26:57.980 well,

00:26:58.680 they're not going to share it and they're certainly not going to break it down for you.

00:27:05.120 A young mother in Newcastle, New South Wales was on a train alone when police confronted her for not wearing a mask.

00:27:14.520 This is what happened.

00:27:15.160 World public transport, you're supposed to be wearing a mask.

00:27:17.040 That's fine.

00:27:17.540 I have an exemption.

00:27:18.180 I don't need a mask.

00:27:19.180 I have an exemption.

00:27:20.040 I don't need to show you my exemption.

00:27:21.940 I have asthma.

00:27:22.860 I'm an asthma sufferer.

00:27:24.060 I don't wear a mask ever.

00:27:25.280 All right.

00:27:25.820 So I'm sorry.

00:27:26.700 Well, you can't travel on a train.

00:27:27.940 I can travel on a train.

00:27:29.020 I have an exemption.

00:27:30.200 I have an exemption.

00:27:31.780 Do you need to film?

00:27:32.820 Pardon?

00:27:33.300 Do you need to film?

00:27:34.280 He's filming.

00:27:34.760 I'm not a threat to you.

00:27:37.200 I'm a single person on a train.

00:27:38.200 I'm a single person on a train without a mask on because I have an exemption.

00:27:42.600 That's all right.

00:27:43.240 We'll take your details.

00:27:44.240 You don't have to take my details.

00:27:45.380 I don't know.

00:27:45.580 We'll be taking your details.

00:27:46.460 I'm not obliged to give you my details.

00:27:48.060 I know my rights.

00:27:48.940 I know my rights.

00:27:49.960 Oh, you do.

00:27:50.580 Yes.

00:27:50.860 So you can ask away.

00:27:53.580 You are not getting my details and I do not need to give you my mask exemption.

00:27:57.660 I don't even need to speak to you.

00:28:00.340 Come with me.

00:28:01.100 Excuse me.

00:28:01.920 That's my personal bag.

00:28:04.140 Come with me.

00:28:04.980 Excuse me.

00:28:06.640 You can't do this.

00:28:08.460 I don't need to.

00:28:09.800 Excuse me.

00:28:12.860 That is my bag.

00:28:15.020 So now I have your attention.

00:28:16.580 Now you have my bag.

00:28:18.540 You have my bag.

00:28:19.500 You don't want to give us some identification.

00:28:20.580 No, I can't.

00:28:21.620 I'm not giving you identification.

00:28:23.560 That is my bag. 1.00

00:28:25.180 Give me my fucking bag. 1.00

00:28:26.740 Give me my bag. 1.00

00:28:27.820 Keep filming.

00:28:28.520 Why are you doing this?

00:28:29.800 Please.

00:28:30.940 You don't need to do this.

00:28:32.780 I just, I think I was just in disbelief.

00:28:34.980 That's all I can describe it as.

00:28:38.540 It was, it was, it was pretty shocking and it was confronting to watch.

00:28:41.440 And we're sorry that it happened to you.

00:28:43.680 Why didn't you just give him your name and address?

00:28:47.400 Well, I was just, I was under the impression that, you know, according to the guidelines,

00:28:52.860 I was, I was.

00:28:53.900 The video goes on for a bit and Avi interviews a lawyer who says, actually,

00:29:00.340 you do have to give your name and address to police.

00:29:05.500 You only have to state it.

00:29:06.880 You don't have to show any ID.

00:29:08.940 And if you don't state it, they have to tell you it's an offense not to state it to encourage

00:29:13.540 you to do so.

00:29:14.800 So actually it was a very, I learned a lot watching that video.

00:29:17.760 I'm not going to play the whole thing because I don't know how many folks are watching in

00:29:20.560 Australia.

00:29:20.860 I think it's, I forget what time it is in Australia.

00:29:23.440 I don't think we have a lot of Australian viewers at this hour because I think it's

00:29:26.360 the dead of night over there.

00:29:28.460 I'll just tell you right now.

00:29:30.300 It's 2.29 AM in Melbourne.

00:29:32.320 So no one's watching.

00:29:33.180 But I would encourage my Australian friends to watch the rest of that video.

00:29:39.480 You do not have to show your exemption card.

00:29:43.680 You don't have to divulge your personal and private medical details just to some guy who

00:29:49.920 says, show me.

00:29:50.800 No, that's private.

00:29:52.320 And that, again, is the law in most jurisdictions.

00:29:56.300 So that was very frustrating.

00:29:58.160 But you understand what happened there, eh?

00:30:00.340 So these two cops are saying this woman, get off the train. 0.95

00:30:03.400 Not because she doesn't have a ticket, but because she doesn't have a mask and she says,

00:30:06.800 I'm exempt.

00:30:07.500 That should be the end of it.

00:30:08.560 But, um, so they, they grab her bag and say her bag, which she must need.

00:30:15.400 Who knows what's in there?

00:30:17.520 And they just take it from that.

00:30:18.960 That, that really is theft.

00:30:20.340 That's a tort of theft or, uh, trying to think of the fancy legal terms, detenue or, or

00:30:27.980 like that's trespass to property.

00:30:31.440 I don't know what the exact tort would be called.

00:30:33.160 You can't take someone's stuff.

00:30:34.980 You just can't take someone's stuff.

00:30:38.560 Looking at the super chats, Jesus loves all his children.

00:30:43.020 She was mugged.

00:30:43.940 That's exactly what that was.

00:30:47.400 MVP 9337.

00:30:48.320 Hi, Rebel from Down Under.

00:30:49.520 Well, hello.

00:30:50.240 What are you doing?

00:30:50.760 I'm so late.

00:30:51.380 Um, I tell you, we have so much news in Australia.

00:30:57.440 It's amazing.

00:30:58.160 Oh, and by the way, we're expanding our team in Australia.

00:31:00.840 We just brought aboard a, a new writer who's going to help us get written stories from Down

00:31:06.780 Under and they're going to be published on Australian time.

00:31:08.860 Um, so this is the middle of our work day here in Canada.

00:31:13.380 Um, so this is when we're busy, but obviously it makes no sense to publish a bunch of stories

00:31:17.580 at 2 30 AM in Melbourne time.

00:31:20.280 So, uh, we're hiring folks in Australia to make sure that, um, we're in sync with the

00:31:26.340 Australian time.

00:31:27.440 Um, we have another, uh, video from Australia about a, uh, an Aussie man versus police again

00:31:35.080 on the mask.

00:31:36.600 That mask is so crazy.

00:31:39.620 It's so crazy what people, the power that mask has, because it's a symbol.

00:31:45.500 It's the symbol of your submission.

00:31:48.320 It's, you know, I've already told you that I know a young woman who, uh, I won't give

00:31:57.320 away her identity.

00:31:58.360 It's probably a private story, but she said that she lived in a Muslim land and, um, she

00:32:05.260 didn't want to wear a hijab.

00:32:06.700 And when she, when she didn't, that lost her friends.

00:32:11.160 She lost friends when she became a teenager and had to wear that and she didn't want to

00:32:15.640 wear it.

00:32:16.880 And now she's in Canada now.

00:32:19.620 And it's the same way with the mask.

00:32:22.000 She didn't want to wear a hijab. 0.92

00:32:23.320 She didn't want to wear a mask and she lost friends over it.

00:32:25.940 People marginalize her.

00:32:27.660 They're not actually afraid she's going to be sick or they get her.

00:32:31.120 No one is afraid.

00:32:32.420 They're going to be, if, if you were afraid of someone without a mask, you wouldn't go

00:32:35.820 up to them and say, I'm afraid that you, in fact, no one even says, I'm afraid you don't

00:32:39.940 have a mask.

00:32:40.400 They say, where's your mask?

00:32:41.860 If I have to wear one, you do follow the rules.

00:32:44.220 No one ever, you ever notice that?

00:32:46.340 No one ever actually says, I'm afraid of you because they're not.

00:32:50.880 And if they were, they would be running the other direction.

00:32:55.940 Anyways, here's that.

00:32:57.980 Here's that.

00:32:58.320 How many, how long is this mask read?

00:33:00.780 90 seconds.

00:33:01.600 Let's take a look.

00:33:02.600 I'm backwards.

00:33:03.980 I can see what you're doing.

00:33:06.480 You don't see anyone.

00:33:07.660 Hey.

00:33:08.020 You do not see anyone.

00:33:09.440 You cannot.

00:33:10.660 Walk away.

00:33:11.220 I can.

00:33:11.820 Walk away.

00:33:12.880 What has she done?

00:33:14.100 Walk away.

00:33:14.820 She's hindering police. 1.00

00:33:15.800 Walk away.

00:33:16.060 What has she done?

00:33:17.100 She's not hindering police.

00:33:18.720 What is the arrest notice?

00:33:20.960 The senior sergeant, the senior constable, has been killed with it for arriving now.

00:33:25.980 And I'm still with it for the last.

00:33:27.780 So you need to arrest all of us.

00:33:29.740 What is she guilty of?

00:33:33.040 What is she, what is she guilty of?

00:33:37.380 Don't.

00:33:37.860 Don't.

00:33:38.020 It is.

00:33:38.880 Listen.

00:33:39.380 There aren't walking. 1.00

00:33:41.040 Fuck. 1.00

00:33:41.800 Fuck. 1.00

00:33:42.480 Careful, Mark. 1.00

00:33:43.420 Mark.

00:33:44.280 Mark.

00:33:44.980 Mark.

00:33:46.260 Oh. 1.00

00:33:47.340 Fuck me. 1.00

00:33:48.260 You guys are bastards. 1.00

00:33:50.320 Hey. 1.00

00:33:51.200 You guys are bastards. 1.00

00:33:55.060 Hey. 1.00

00:33:55.740 Come on.

00:33:56.220 Stop resisting.

00:33:57.680 You're under arrest. 0.98

00:33:58.840 What about this fat bloke here? 0.97

00:34:00.980 I've got it all on film. 0.96

00:34:02.800 I've got it on film.

00:34:04.000 I'm sure you do.

00:34:06.980 Oh. 1.00

00:34:07.700 You are pathetic. 1.00

00:34:09.820 Stop it. 1.00

00:34:10.200 Calm down. 1.00

00:34:10.860 You're a fucking fool. 1.00

00:34:12.100 What's your name? 1.00

00:34:13.100 What is. 1.00

00:34:14.180 How pathetic are you people? 1.00

00:34:16.800 Stop it. 1.00

00:34:18.260 Right.

00:34:18.740 What is your name?

00:34:20.420 You've got it already.

00:34:21.220 I don't have it already.

00:34:22.540 You wouldn't let me film it.

00:34:23.860 I shouldn't know if I could.

00:34:25.000 You need to calm down. 1.00

00:34:25.520 Put up with this bullshit. 1.00

00:34:27.380 You guys are. 1.00

00:34:28.680 Who are you acting for?

00:34:30.480 The people or your government?

00:34:32.340 You're under arrest.

00:34:33.100 Oh.

00:34:33.260 Oh.

00:34:33.580 For God's sake.

00:34:34.240 Give me that last phone.

00:34:35.960 You're under arrest.

00:34:36.860 You're under arrest.

00:34:37.300 You're under arrest.

00:34:37.600 You know, I hadn't watched that all the way through until now.

00:34:49.560 I'm sorry.

00:34:50.280 What's the difference between that and a police state?

00:34:52.160 I was just talking about, you know, what is the difference between that and Venezuela and Russia and Iran and China?

00:34:59.520 putting a woman in the back of a police truck because she's not wearing a mask.

00:35:08.480 And then another guy comes to object.

00:35:10.900 And they smash his face against.

00:35:12.980 And he's a senior.

00:35:13.560 They smash his face against the truck.

00:35:16.220 And they smash him on the ground.

00:35:18.620 And then a woman, I presume to be the wife of the old man, is filming it.

00:35:23.120 And then they arrest her too and obviously grab her.

00:35:28.860 I remember when there was a time not long ago.

00:35:33.620 In fact, I'd say 18 months ago.

00:35:36.580 When if you were to see a video like that from Russia, from Iran, from Venezuela, from China,

00:35:41.940 you would have a field day and say, police state, authoritarian, you would be outraged.

00:35:49.660 But now it's happening here.

00:35:52.040 That's Australia.

00:35:55.960 Are we helping that?

00:35:57.500 Do we know what's going on?

00:35:58.860 I actually haven't watched this whole video through until then.

00:36:01.800 You know, it's 2.30 a.m. there in Melbourne, so I'm not going to call Avi now.

00:36:06.480 But my God, that makes me want to contact that.

00:36:10.340 But all three people who were victimized there, and I don't know what city that was in.

00:36:15.940 I didn't see the police badge, if that was in the state of Victoria or in New South Wales.

00:36:28.060 When I see that, I get very upset.

00:36:30.080 And the reason I'm upset is because there's a juxtaposition of two things.

00:36:36.860 Of a police state and a citizenry that's still acting like they're free.

00:36:43.240 So if that were in the aforementioned authoritarian countries, the citizens would be conditioned

00:36:51.520 to run away, to obey, to be less naive, and to be less critical.

00:37:04.520 Because they would know all of those paths would lead to ruin.

00:37:10.280 So what you see is the lucky country, Australia, with happy, normal citizens who grew up with

00:37:22.840 an expectation of limited, restrained, respectful, community-based policing with the consent of the

00:37:29.580 community, like normal policing, who are still thinking they're in some pre-2020 world.

00:37:40.060 They're still living and expecting the world to be free.

00:37:45.340 And they think that this is an anomaly.

00:37:48.620 And they think that somehow they're protected from what they're seeing just feet away from them.

00:37:56.540 The woman thought, there's no way I'm going to be put in the back of a police van.

00:38:01.020 That's for criminals.

00:38:02.640 The man thought, there's no way I'm going to get in trouble.

00:38:06.140 These cops are going to be in trouble.

00:38:07.740 The lady filming and narrating thought, there's no way this is possible.

00:38:13.600 I'm going to film this and that'll stop it.

00:38:17.380 All of them were wrong.

00:38:21.460 And I'm just shocked.

00:38:27.140 I'm going to talk to Avi when we, you know, we have a meeting every day at 5 p.m. Eastern time,

00:38:33.680 which is, what's that, 7?

00:38:34.980 What's that?

00:38:36.020 5 p.m.

00:38:36.740 So it'd be 4 hours from now.

00:38:39.960 Avi gets up early in the morning, joins our calls in his PJs.

00:38:42.920 I don't know if you know that.

00:38:44.800 So our call is in 4 hours and 20 minutes.

00:38:46.540 Yeah, so it's 7 a.m. Melbourne time.

00:38:48.620 Avi joins our calls in his PJs.

00:38:53.880 But we have a daily call with him, with the whole team,

00:38:56.540 just so he feels like he's part of the team.

00:38:58.040 And he is part of the team.

00:38:58.920 And we talk about things, and it's fun, because he's so, he's just as funny in real life.

00:39:02.960 Would you say he's just as funny in real life as he is?

00:39:05.940 He's always a hoot.

00:39:06.920 He's very clever.

00:39:07.680 He's very witty.

00:39:08.440 He's got a great attitude, high energy, great nose for news, very courageous, very resourceful.

00:39:14.160 And as you know, he's a Rebbe Award winner, you know, Best Builder Award.

00:39:20.940 And I think John Cleese narrated that video.

00:39:29.780 So what I mean by that is when we had our Rebbe Awards, I got that.

00:39:38.480 Have you ever heard of Cameo?

00:39:40.560 That's you can get celebrities to do little birthday greetings or whatever.

00:39:49.260 And one of the things we had was celebrities read the Rebbe Awards for the winners.

00:39:56.000 Is it a dumb idea to take people's time to show those?

00:39:58.760 I just really like, I got some of them handy here.

00:40:04.260 I'm going to send you the, just for Avi, I'm going to send you, I don't know if it's the whole thing,

00:40:15.620 but I just sent you the Rebbe Award for Avi.

00:40:20.080 Let me know if you can play that.

00:40:23.200 It's sort of fun that this John Cleese, and there were some other really good ones there.

00:40:28.540 I think we played some of these before, haven't we?

00:40:32.040 And, all right, I'll put this away.

00:40:35.420 Okay, go ahead.

00:40:38.040 Hello.

00:40:39.000 Now, this is a special message from Ezra Levant,

00:40:46.780 and it is for Avi, Avi Yemeni.

00:40:51.960 And Ezra says, Avi, that you win the Rebel News Award for Best Builder.

00:41:00.780 And that's terrific, but I don't understand because later on Ezra says you're a reporter, editor, advocate, and friend.

00:41:09.280 So, I don't know what building has got to do with being a reporter, but sometimes I'm not given all the information that I might need.

00:41:18.840 But what Ezra says, and I've got to say it's extraordinarily impressive.

00:41:22.320 He says that you single-handedly changed the political discussion in Australia.

00:41:30.300 It really sounds extraordinary, particularly with Uncle Rupert and his stranglehold,

00:41:37.120 and that you gave hope to the little people punished by the lockdown.

00:41:41.860 So, that's terrific.

00:41:43.080 And then Ezra says he's a great reporter, a great editor, a great advocate, and a great friend,

00:41:49.600 which is a lovely thing to say.

00:41:52.000 So, Avi Yemeni, it seems to me that you're a rather remarkable person,

00:41:58.560 and you have a good, loyal, and splendid friend in Ezra Levant.

00:42:04.000 So, I wish I knew a little bit more about this, but it sounds terrific,

00:42:08.380 and I just want to say, Avi, thank you.

00:42:10.480 We need good reporting, good editing now, as we've never needed before.

00:42:15.800 And I don't know if you've ever seen my tweets.

00:42:18.640 I am appalled by the newspapers in England.

00:42:22.880 Rupert Murdoch was the first to take them down market, and they all followed him meekly.

00:42:27.900 And now, apart from the Financial Times, I do not have a single paper that I basically trust.

00:42:33.920 In my home country, it really does depress me.

00:42:38.440 Never mind.

00:42:38.960 You've done a great job, Avi.

00:42:40.900 Thank you for what you've done.

00:42:43.120 To single-mindedly change the political discussion in Australia, it's extraordinary things we've done.

00:42:48.080 So, well done.

00:42:50.260 Thanks to Ezra Levant for asking me to send this message to Avi.

00:42:54.880 And I wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and many, many years of your great reporting.

00:43:04.140 Bye.

00:43:04.900 Well, thanks for letting me show you that.

00:43:06.500 I know it was a bit of a tension, and sometimes I do go on those.

00:43:09.640 But I was just thinking friendly thoughts of my friend Avi, and I love talking about Rebbe Award winners, including Rebbe Award winner David Menzies, who won for Best Pandemic Reporting.

00:43:23.460 I think he deserves it, especially in those early days.

00:43:30.480 It was great.

00:43:31.740 We'll have to put our heads together, Justin, about what to do for this year's Rebbe's, and for this year's Christmas get-together.

00:43:39.940 But back to Avi and that videotape of the three Australians who were all arrested in quick order.

00:43:48.900 Like, do you understand what I'm saying?

00:43:50.860 That those Australians, the reaction they have, let's say you were, I mean, I know people from, our friend Mocha, from Turkey.

00:43:58.980 I would call it a partially free place.

00:44:01.240 There are elections, there are courts, but I don't think you can trust them that much.

00:44:05.820 The rule of law is not strong.

00:44:07.880 There's corruption.

00:44:10.380 I would call it authoritarian.

00:44:12.200 Same with Russia. 0.61

00:44:14.000 You can leave, but it, so it's not totalitarian, but it's authoritarian.

00:44:22.660 People from authoritarian places are very different when they're out and about.

00:44:28.280 If I had to choose one word to describe how they are, it would be afraid.

00:44:32.160 I think I've told you before that I have family members who came from the former Soviet Union.

00:44:40.920 Some of them came over in the brief period of detente under Jimmy Carter in the late 70s,

00:44:47.100 and then others came after the Berlin Wall fell.

00:44:49.700 And to hear them describe their lives in the Soviet Union, fear and caution outward.

00:44:59.160 You could have some honest and private and truthful conversations with a very small group of people who you trusted,

00:45:05.760 but when you went out of your house, you had to put on your public face.

00:45:11.520 Never let people know what you're actually thinking.

00:45:13.980 If you're upset by something, don't let it show.

00:45:16.980 Bite your tongue.

00:45:18.440 You would, in the former Soviet Union, 0.81

00:45:21.260 you would never interfere with a cop making an arrest.

00:45:24.860 Am I right?

00:45:25.160 You understand what I'm saying?

00:45:26.260 Like here, there's a cop doing something.

00:45:28.860 What's the natural instinct?

00:45:29.760 What's going on?

00:45:31.940 Let's go see.

00:45:34.900 I guess maybe they would do that in the Soviet Union, but they sure wouldn't get close.

00:45:38.340 They sure wouldn't talk to the cops.

00:45:40.600 And you would never in a million years try to stop the cops.

00:45:46.080 You do that, you're going to Siberia too.

00:45:47.800 So what you have is a vestige of the old civil liberties loving natural freedom, low stress, high trust lifestyle Australians

00:46:03.060 encountering this authoritarian police state.

00:46:07.040 I'll do what I want.

00:46:08.020 I don't understand the law, but I understand it gives me power to do brutish things to people. 0.85

00:46:14.020 I used to only do brutish things to other brutes.

00:46:17.780 I used to only do brutish things to violent criminals. 0.58

00:46:21.280 So when I roughed up a violent criminal, no one was that mad because he was a violent criminal

00:46:25.780 and it takes tough men to do the dirty work.

00:46:30.000 But now those tough men are going after a grandma who's not wearing a mask.

00:46:34.100 Those tough men are going after a asthmatic mum on a train and stealing your backpack.

00:46:44.020 And so something's got to change.

00:46:47.700 Either the world, including Canada, and I'm going to play the Tyler Shandro video next.

00:46:55.060 Either the world has to defang these out-of-control police and cut them back down to size.

00:47:06.840 And I don't mean that in a negative way.

00:47:08.300 I mean, hey, how about go fight some crime?

00:47:11.320 Can you do that?

00:47:12.000 And I mean a crime, not a fake crime, not a mask crime, not a church is open crime.

00:47:19.140 Can you go fight some crime, please?

00:47:21.020 Like shootings.

00:47:22.200 That's what I mean by crime.

00:47:23.680 You'll know because it's in the criminal code.

00:47:25.500 So either the cops have to change or the people will have to change.

00:47:31.880 We'll have to no longer assume that cops are our friends.

00:47:35.880 We'll have to no longer assume that there will be a rule of law, that you will be treated reasonably,

00:47:41.480 that police will exercise their discretion in a reasonable way.

00:47:44.300 We will have to live like people lived in the former Soviet Union. 0.99

00:47:48.220 Be terrified of cops, run the other way, don't make eye contact.

00:47:52.480 Never engage.

00:47:53.760 Don't tell the truth.

00:47:54.680 I think that's what's going to happen.

00:47:59.580 It's not tenable otherwise.

00:48:01.040 Now, I saw a video coming out of Alberta yesterday, out of Calgary, of the disgraced health minister out there, Tyler Shandro.

00:48:15.460 The one who was in that Sky Palace party, just for those of you who don't know, there's a skyscraper in Edmonton.

00:48:24.020 And a former premier had like a secret apartment built in there, like his luxury apartment.

00:48:30.920 And it became a scandal because it was millions of dollars to build this like ultra cool apartment in this tower overlooking the city.

00:48:41.160 It was like what, like, I mean, it was really over the top.

00:48:46.460 And it became a defining scandal.

00:48:48.860 Yeah, so, so would you look at that?

00:48:51.200 So this is the patio of the Sky Palace.

00:48:55.200 And there's Tyler Shandro at the right there.

00:49:00.580 He's the health minister.

00:49:01.860 So this is an illegal gathering.

00:49:04.080 It's mixing households without masks.

00:49:06.280 It's a, it's dining.

00:49:07.920 This was banned, but they did it anyways.

00:49:11.600 Really, I don't know why we haven't hired a lawyer to do a private prosecution.

00:49:15.040 I really don't know why we haven't.

00:49:17.880 So it's like Animal Farm.

00:49:22.340 That last scene where all the pigs are drinking liquor and the animals, is it the farmer or is it the pig?

00:49:28.620 It's, you know, all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. 0.99

00:49:33.340 So Tyler Shandro, the hypocrite, the lawbreaker, the scofflaw, the untrustworthy cheater who was there at the Sky Palace drinking $50 a bottle of liquor while ordering police to arrest Christian pastors and lockdown businesses. 0.97

00:49:53.120 That same corrupt Tyler Shandro was at a Canada Day event yesterday with his kids. 0.97

00:50:01.580 And some hecklers, who I understand are affiliated with a fringe candidate for mayor out there named Kevin J. Johnson, they started heckling Shandro in the presence of his kids. 0.94

00:50:16.920 And one of them said to the kids, your dad's a war criminal, which is a dumb thing to say because there's no war going on.

00:50:24.660 It's, it's not, I mean, I know what war crimes are, but some of them are, it's not a war crime.

00:50:30.340 Maybe, maybe he meant to say something else.

00:50:33.040 But look, my view is don't, don't bug children.

00:50:38.980 Don't drag children into things. 0.96

00:50:42.180 Don't scare someone's children.

00:50:44.460 If a politician is with his children, don't, don't engage.

00:50:50.740 I acknowledge that there's a blurry line when you're a public person at a public event and you bring your kids along.

00:50:56.780 Does that mean you're immune from heckling? 0.89

00:50:58.760 I think it's a dumb thing to say you're a war criminal because he's not involved in a war.

00:51:04.900 What he's doing against Albertans may be unlawful, unethical, immoral, unconstitutional, illegal, but it's not a war. 0.95

00:51:12.920 But putting aside that verbal thing, lock him up, belongs in jail.

00:51:17.820 Well, he locked up other people for breaking the health laws, so maybe he does belong in jail.

00:51:22.840 I'm not against a heckle, lock him up, you belong in jail.

00:51:26.480 I'm not against heckles that are technically inaccurate, like he's a war criminal. 0.89

00:51:30.900 I just think that sounds goofy, but it's not, shouldn't be against the law to heckle a politician who is being so abusive and such a cheater himself.

00:51:41.500 Do you have that video handy?

00:51:43.500 So here's the video.

00:51:45.440 And I just, before I play it, I just want to be clear.

00:51:47.320 I don't believe in harassing anyone's family.

00:51:52.100 Now, there are some exceptions where the family is just as political as the, you know, for example, the president and Jill Biden, the first lady.

00:52:03.240 Like, I think that Sophie Trudeau in Canada, she's estranged from Justin.

00:52:07.600 They don't live together.

00:52:08.880 She really doesn't do any public duties anymore. 0.99

00:52:11.600 Once a year, she poses for a photo with him, and it's very tense.

00:52:20.520 I don't think Sophie Trudeau, you know, when she was doing weird public things, I think she was fair game.

00:52:26.140 I think Sophie Trudeau is a private citizen there.

00:52:28.580 Do you think so, too?

00:52:29.840 Like, when was the last time you saw her do anything?

00:52:31.580 Like, seriously, once in a blue moon, she pops up in, like, some PR photo.

00:52:37.800 But, for example, she did not accompany Justin Trudeau to the G7.

00:52:42.460 But you'll notice all the other leaders had their spouses there. 0.51

00:52:45.160 Did you see that?

00:52:47.500 So Sophie Trudeau, I would say she's estranged from Justin Trudeau.

00:52:54.020 I don't think they're divorced, but I think probably they're legally separated.

00:52:58.560 She's not in the public domain.

00:53:00.160 She's not doing public events.

00:53:01.560 She's not doing political events.

00:53:03.740 Neither are the kids.

00:53:04.580 I mean, they posed for the out family photo, but I do not think that Sophie Trudeau is a public person anymore.

00:53:10.920 That may change.

00:53:13.080 I think he'll pressure her to do a campaign event, but maybe not even.

00:53:19.360 Maybe not even.

00:53:23.560 I think Tyler Shandro's kids and his wife are not public people.

00:53:27.880 But he took them to a public event.

00:53:31.580 Don't pick on private people.

00:53:33.680 Don't pick on families.

00:53:34.860 Don't pick on kids.

00:53:36.660 But you know what?

00:53:37.400 I'm not against heckling abusive political leaders who themselves have ordered the arrest of, for example, Tim Stevens in front of his beautiful children.

00:53:48.760 It's a bit hard for me to feel a tremendous sense of pity for the exact politician who sent people away to prison for weeks because they broke the same law he did at the Sky Palace.

00:54:05.860 And he arrested Pastor Tim Stevens in front of his crying children.

00:54:09.860 I'm sorry of all the four and a half million people in Alberta to be embarrassed.

00:54:15.720 I think Tyler Shandro, it's like you were the one who ordered other families destroyed for breaking some health rule.

00:54:25.560 You were the one who ordered other dads to be arrested in front of their crying children.

00:54:30.600 I really don't feel a lot of sympathy for you.

00:54:34.040 I don't recommend, like I say, I don't believe in criticizing people's families or if they're private, personal families.

00:54:42.320 But my God, I just don't have any heart left over for Tyler Shandro because I was too busy caring about his victims, including Tim Stevens.

00:54:51.960 Here, look at the video for yourself.

00:54:52.980 What do you got to say to all the thousands of businesses you've destroyed, Mr. Shandro?

00:55:18.320 What do you got to say to all the Albertans whose lives you've destroyed, Albertans' businesses and lives, with your lives?

00:55:27.080 What do you have to say?

00:55:29.780 Everyone will be in prison for a very long time.

00:55:31.960 For a war criminal, Mr. Sky Palace. 0.83

00:55:34.520 You're going to prison, Shandro. 0.98

00:55:36.800 Enjoy your freedom all your lives.

00:55:38.800 You don't have much trouble, Chef.

00:55:40.200 I had two sons.

00:55:41.140 Yeah, yeah.

00:55:41.620 There's some anxiety on that.

00:55:47.400 But, you know, for them to hear people have, you know, believing some of the misinformation about vaccines has been unfortunate.

00:55:54.140 They've hurt a lot of people.

00:55:55.720 We want them to answer for their actions and what they've done over the past 15 months.

00:55:59.900 So there you go.

00:56:01.660 Now, that guy at the very end, the media says, the mainstream media says he is affiliated with Kevin Johnson, who's a candidate for mayor, who's in jail out there right now.

00:56:12.020 And I assume he is.

00:56:15.240 Lock Shandro up. 0.99

00:56:18.760 That's not a nice thing to say, but that's what Shandro says to Christian pastors.

00:56:24.340 So I don't really understand what the problem there is.

00:56:27.480 Thousands of businesses you've destroyed and lives you've destroyed.

00:56:31.040 Fact check, true.

00:56:34.660 Your lies.

00:56:36.600 Fact check, true.

00:56:38.660 Sky Palace.

00:56:40.420 Fact check, true.

00:56:42.800 Enjoy your freedom before you're jailed.

00:56:46.760 I don't think he's going to be jailed.

00:56:48.840 And then Shandro says his kids had some anxiety.

00:56:51.280 I believe that.

00:56:52.600 Then he says this is anti-vax people. 0.99

00:56:55.520 No, you liar. 0.98

00:56:56.940 It was about you in general. 0.99

00:56:58.760 I didn't hear the word vaccine one bit there.

00:57:01.700 So the media is very sympathetic to Tyler Shandro, which I haven't seen before.

00:57:09.580 Can you grab the footage of what Tyler Shandro did to Tim Stevens and his kids?

00:57:16.920 I do not want kids to be political footballs or punching bags.

00:57:24.640 Have I said that like 10 times in the last 10 minutes?

00:57:28.440 But let me show you what Tyler Shandro did to the children of Tim Stevens.

00:57:34.000 Did they have some anxiety?

00:57:37.740 By the way, Tyler Shandro ordered Pastor Stevens' arrest, not once, but twice.

00:57:46.100 And take a look for yourself.

00:57:51.100 We're going to move, okay?

00:58:08.820 Not too close, not too close.

00:58:10.720 Okay, guys, step back, please.

00:58:11.740 We're going to continue to bring you details.

00:58:36.780 Yeah, so of all the people in 4.5 million Albertans to feel sorry for, I just can't muster it for Tyler Shandro.

00:58:50.940 For his kids, sure, I feel bad for his kids.

00:58:52.820 But for Tyler Shandro, he's the wicked man who did what we just showed you there to Tim Stevens' crying children twice now.

00:59:06.400 I think Tyler Shandro is a disgrace and I think that he should not take his children out to public events anymore

00:59:19.800 because I think it's to be expected that millions of Albertans hate Tyler Shandro for what he has done.

00:59:30.800 And it is a constitutional right to speak truth to power.

00:59:37.640 Section 2B of our Constitution allows us freedom of speech expression.

00:59:42.540 I sometimes say there's no human right not to be offended.

00:59:49.160 That's a counterfeit human right not to be offended.

00:59:52.300 There's no such thing.

00:59:53.460 That's a power of the state to order you not to say something.

00:59:58.700 That's not a right.

01:00:00.980 But luckily there is a right to be offended.

01:00:05.040 And again, they didn't have that right in the former Soviet Union.

01:00:07.760 You couldn't be offended about something.

01:00:09.220 You couldn't talk back about something.

01:00:10.380 You couldn't push back against the state here in Canada and in America, in the United Kingdom, in Australia, in other parts of the Anglosphere.

01:00:19.160 Very luckily, we do have a right to be offended.

01:00:22.300 And of the 4.5 million Albertans who have been punished these last year and a half by Tyler Shandro,

01:00:29.740 it's actually their constitutional right to be offended by that cabinet minister, that politician, that cheating Sky Palace lawbreaker.

01:00:38.720 It's their right to be offended and to say so.

01:00:43.040 So my advice, father to father, is don't take your kids with you.

01:00:47.620 Because now you know, a little reminder of how much you're hated.

01:00:53.140 Maybe that's fair, maybe it's not.

01:00:54.720 I think it's fair that he's hated because he's done things that we should hate.

01:00:59.360 We should hate a man who orders pastors to be locked up.

01:01:02.580 Whether it's Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, or Tyler Shandro.

01:01:06.580 By the way, when that was filmed, Tim Stevens was still in prison on Canada Day when the lockdown was allegedly lifted.

01:01:21.800 He was released later.

01:01:24.040 So yeah, dad to dad.

01:01:25.680 I regard myself as a public person, but my family is not public.

01:01:31.920 I regard Tyler Shandro as a public person.

01:01:35.120 I don't know who his wife is.

01:01:36.340 I assume she's private.

01:01:37.460 I know his kids are private.

01:01:39.220 So dad to dad, my advice to you, Tyler, is don't go out in public with your kids.

01:01:45.080 And by in public, I mean, you can go out on the street.

01:01:47.540 But, you know, maybe keep wearing your face mask so people don't recognize you.

01:01:55.340 Maybe have your wife take the kids out just for a while so people can get over what you've done. 1.00

01:02:03.000 And by a while, you know, just for two weeks to flatten the curve.

01:02:09.000 You know, a lot of people hate you, Tyler.

01:02:10.880 So just give it two weeks to flatten the curve.

01:02:12.620 And then, you know, maybe two weeks will extend a little bit.

01:02:17.540 But yeah, you've been holed up in the Sky Palace.

01:02:23.680 You've been holed up in the legislature.

01:02:25.580 You've been only reading what your staff have shown you.

01:02:31.580 You've been in a bubble.

01:02:33.740 You don't realize what you've done because you were surrounded by the lockdown class.

01:02:39.680 Everyone you interacted with thought you were doing amazing.

01:02:43.620 Your staff loves you and staff always tell you the truth.

01:02:48.880 They never say the emperor has no clothes.

01:02:52.700 And the media, they hate you, Tyler.

01:02:55.460 But they're lockdownists, so they love that of what you did.

01:03:00.180 And you worked in a building that, you know, was staffed by government unions in a town, Edmonton, government unions.

01:03:08.540 So no one lost a day's work.

01:03:10.920 Or if they lost the work, they didn't lose the pay.

01:03:13.320 They had the best of both worlds.

01:03:14.380 They had a staycation, but the free money.

01:03:17.820 So Tyler Shandro, for a year and a half, you've been living in a fake bubble, a sky palace, if you will,

01:03:25.580 where you're up on high looking down at the little ants below.

01:03:30.860 And you're up there drinking only a $50 bottle of booze.

01:03:35.880 Laughing at the people down below who you're having arrested for getting together like you were up in the sky palace.

01:03:41.100 So you finally come down from the sky palace and you walk out amongst the people.

01:03:45.560 And what did you think?

01:03:46.460 They were going to throw rose petals at your feet. 1.00

01:03:48.760 Do you think they were going to welcome you?

01:03:50.180 They're disgusted with you.

01:03:53.400 Not everyone.

01:03:54.100 Like I say, the lockdown class, they love you.

01:03:57.660 But you destroyed thousands of businesses and thousands of lives.

01:04:01.720 You actually, statistically, you caused many deaths.

01:04:05.820 Because the lockdown itself caused many deaths through suicide and drug addiction.

01:04:11.080 And of course, the punishments that poverty brings life.

01:04:14.680 Poverty breaks families up.

01:04:16.120 They lead to other disease.

01:04:20.180 So, Tyler, I just don't think this is going to stop.

01:04:26.060 So my advice to you is keep your kids out of it.

01:04:30.480 Or just stay in the sky palace, you know.

01:04:33.000 Just keep ordering delivery, whatever fancy waiters you guys have working there. 0.95

01:04:37.300 Just do that.

01:04:38.240 Just stay up there.

01:04:39.900 But if you come down expecting the little people to love you,

01:04:43.100 I think that's not going to work out.

01:04:45.960 And, you know, looking at the names you were called.

01:04:51.900 What were those names again?

01:04:54.420 I wrote them down.

01:04:56.380 Lock Shandro up. 0.99

01:04:57.280 You're going to hear some of that.

01:04:58.680 Thousands of businesses you destroyed.

01:05:01.000 You're going to hear that.

01:05:02.500 People who's live.

01:05:03.400 You're going to hear that.

01:05:04.940 Businesses.

01:05:05.440 You're going to hear the word Sky Palace.

01:05:06.640 You're just going to keep hearing that for a long time.

01:05:13.220 That's your legacy.

01:05:14.700 What, do you think you're going to, you think you've got a future?

01:05:18.240 You think you're going to be Premier of Alberta one day or something?

01:05:21.440 Whatever is in your mind?

01:05:22.980 No, I don't think so.

01:05:23.760 I don't like the fact that someone had your children as collateral damage

01:05:30.360 and your wife as collateral damage.

01:05:31.560 I'll say that for the 20th time.

01:05:34.340 But every word that was said for you to hear, I'm completely fine with.

01:05:39.100 Because those are just words.

01:05:41.060 Unlike what you did to the families of Alberta

01:05:44.580 and to the family of Pastor Tim Stevens.

01:05:46.860 And frankly, if he has to go to jail for breaking the health rules,

01:05:55.440 I really don't know why you don't either.

01:05:58.860 I should look into a private prosecution for that.

01:06:01.260 I mean, seriously, why does that Sky Palace get a pass?

01:06:04.300 They clearly broke the laws.

01:06:05.800 Why aren't they being prosecuted?

01:06:07.020 Maybe there's room for a private prosecution.

01:06:08.680 That would be fun.

01:06:10.920 All right.

01:06:13.020 Let me just see if there's any more super chats there.

01:06:16.860 Let me just quickly.

01:06:28.300 Utward Zoney from Rumble.

01:06:31.260 Wow, arresting people for not wearing a mask outside.

01:06:33.440 Oh, yeah.

01:06:34.040 Oh, yeah.

01:06:34.700 I've seen it a lot.

01:06:37.140 Super U, Hammers Girl 88. 0.97

01:06:39.080 The mask is a muzzle and it keeps the scam going.

01:06:41.780 Yeah, it's a flag.

01:06:43.280 It's like a team.

01:06:43.960 Which team are you on?

01:06:46.320 Rumble.

01:06:46.680 Chronic Byte 99.

01:06:47.720 That is terrible to see.

01:06:48.680 Not okay to bully online, but it is okay to bully in person.

01:06:52.400 I don't know if you're referring to Tyler Shandro or the cops, the arrest.

01:06:56.880 Yeah.

01:06:57.420 So I don't believe in bullying.

01:06:59.340 But I think what that heckler in Calgary did to Tyler Shandro was not bullying.

01:07:04.580 It was just irritating and annoying.

01:07:06.960 The only problem I have is that the kids were involved.

01:07:09.240 So Tyler Shandro's got to leave his kids at home if he goes out somewhere where he's going

01:07:13.760 to encounter an uncontrolled crowd.

01:07:15.960 Stay at the Sky Palace.

01:07:16.640 Take him to the Sky Palace.

01:07:17.840 That looks like a great night out.

01:07:21.160 Hyper Chats.

01:07:22.220 Five Hyper Chats from 4Sinker.

01:07:24.280 Thank you.

01:07:25.320 Rumble.

01:07:25.900 Books and tea.

01:07:26.840 Those poor children.

01:07:27.760 Isn't that the truth?

01:07:28.580 That's our show for today.

01:07:31.960 I'm going to be on tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern.

01:07:34.900 I'm going to go in depth about the Winnipeg toppling of the statues.

01:07:39.580 Do we have a dog video?

01:07:41.420 Indeed we do.

01:07:42.620 I'll say goodbye.

01:07:43.260 Here's the dog video.

01:07:43.940 Hi-five.

01:07:46.220 Hi-five.

01:07:47.400 Do you have a high-five?

01:07:48.900 Oh, no, no.

01:07:50.020 High-five.

01:07:50.820 Ah!

01:07:51.240 Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
